Once Upon a Moon

Hello Again

"That nice." She shuffled her feet, "So... Kimi... she's, um..." Rena poked Toga in the stomach, "Are you going to make me ask?"

He chuckled, "No, I'm not. I sent word that I needed to talk to her. She should be here..." he trailed off as the door crashed open, "now."

"Why are you ordering me here? I was busy. What is so important?"

Rena stepped forward, shyly, and smiled, "Hi, Kimi."

Inukimi growled, "What did you just call me? No on is allowed to..." she froze, staring in shock, "What kind of sick joke is this?"

"No joke. I was Reborn. My whole family was. Mom and dad are up there, rebuilding their kingdom, and they're letting me stay on Earth. To be normal." Rena scoffed, "Well, as normal as a Lunarian Princess, who's been Reborn multiple times, can be."

"You're... real?" She looked at her former husband, "Toga?"

"It's true. All of it." Sesshomaru spoke up, "Serenity was brought back as a Lunarian Elemental. They're up there, right now." He looked down at his beloved, "Serena just got her memories back. She promised to tell me more about her life."

Yukimi stepped forward and grabbed Rena by the face, looking hard into her eyes and smiled, "It is you."

"If you don't object, I asked Inuyasha to invite Kagome and all of their friends for dinner." Toga explained, "I'd like you to join us." He looked at his ex, "No trouble. No complaints. No drama. Leave Izayoi alone. I would like for Serena to fill us in on her life, as much as possible, and I want us to enjoy some food while she does it."

Yukimi laughed, "Try and stop me from coming." She hugged Rena, tight, "I am so happy that you are here. Are you two reaffirming your engagement?"

"Oh, um..."

"Mother." Sessh jumped in, "She just got her memories back. A lot of stuff has happened to her. She'll tell us as much as she's willing. After that, she and I have decided to move forward slowly. Get reacquainted in this modern world and start going on a few dates. Get to know each other again. As we are now, compared to how we were then."

"Oh, well, I can understand that." She leaned back and looked at Rena, "No matter what happens between you and my boneheaded son," he rolled his eyes at her, "you were always the daughter of my heart. And you will continue to be. Make sure you visit me often, okay?"

"Deal." She shrugged, "Want me to get a hold of my mother? Let her know that you'd like to come visit? The portals aren't open to anyone who's not from there, yet, but she might make an exception for you." Rena paused in thought, "Wait, do you still have the mirror?"

"I do. But I don't think it works."

"Let me talk to my mother. Instead of using the new Transport Portals, we can get the mirror fixed and you can start visiting your old childhood friend again."

"I'd like that. Very much."

Inuyasha poked his head in the door, "Outside of Molly and Andrew, all of our friends are here and mom says supper is done."

Rena pouted, "Why aren't they coming?"

He shrugged, "I asked him, but he said he was taking Molly to the fair."

"Oh, that's sweet." She smirked, "You didn't invite Kikyo, did you? Kagome might try and purify her."

"I broke up with her. It didn't feel right before I got my memories back, it was worse after." He sighed, "I think she's plotting revenge."

"Aw!" Rena rubbed his ears, "We'll protect you, Yasha."

"Yeah, thanks."

Sesshomaru drove Rena home after supper, in the hopes of getting some privacy. "Think your mom can fix the mirror?"

She smiled over at him, "Guarantee it. She's gonna be just as happy as your mother to get it fixed and have her friend back." She smirked, "You think Yasha and Kagome are gonna get that alone time they've been wanting? Or is his mother gonna come between that?"

"She won't bother them. She's well aware of demons and their mates. Coming between them would only cause problems in her household. She'll just give little brother the riot act about responsibility and being careful."

"Sounds like my mother after the Silverhouse incident."

He scoffed, "Seriously? Do you have to keep bringing that up?"

"As more and more memories surface in my mind," she chuckled, "the more I've got to enjoy them. Especially those rare incidences that made you so embarrassed that you blushed."

"I most certainly did not." He cried indignantly.

"Oh, you so did." She cut her eyes at him, "Mother still thinks that was the first night you tried to defile her baby girl before our wedding."

"I never defiled you." He pulled up to the security and let Rena lean across to get the Officers to open the gate. "And we were already mated, so it didn't matter." She pointed to the garage for them to drive into and followed her directions to a spot that was designated for her, "The night of your birthday, she didn't think you were still a..." he arched a brow at her in question.

"She most certainly did and I'd like to keep it that way, thank you. She need not know that her daughter was no longer... pure." She chuckled as his look of exasperation, "You coming up?"

"Is that an invitation?"

"It's... a start."

Okay. My computer crashed. I lost a lot of stuff, unfortunately. Some of my files were saved on a flash drive. This one was not. Thankfully, I had sent this in an email to someone before for their opinion on it. I never received a reply. 'sigh' Anyways, I'm working on trying to update everything, but until I get my computer fixed, it's extremely difficult. I work overnights, so I have to stay up later than usual and go to the public library. Right now, I'm being allowed to use a computer at work for internet access to upload my updates, but I'm not allowed to use it for writing. Lovely. It's a pain.

With this story though, as much as I love writing it, I'm having too much writer's block. I have no beta readers or writers to help and it's driving me crazy trying to continue. I'm no abandoning it or discontinuing it. I just think, without any help, it's going to be awhile before I can write another update, what with everything else I'm writing.

I used to go off of reviews and PMs, using peoples opinions. But I don't get anything for this story, unfortunately. So, if anyone has any ideas, suggestions or helpful hints for this story to move forward, please let me know. I'll take anything!! :)
