Minako's POV
Darkness. That was all I could see through out. I felt like I was floating in a never ending void. It felt so lonely yet so familiar. What was this place? I wasn't sure. I felt fear and cold. Something about this black void made me tremble in both senses and feelings. 'Did the girl lie to us? Where is Yaten-Kun? Was everything just an illusion?' I thought frantically.
Illusions were common for me, and now the fear of having one so menacing, made me nervous and concerned. Yet something inside me, told me it wasn't an illusion. It was a sort of in between. One located between where I was and where I wanted to be.
My half open eyelids, felt so tired, my whole body felt like that. Even so, I tried my best to move around. Something was restraining my hands and legs, keeping me floating and laying in mid darkness. My eyes widen. 'What kind of trickery is this?!' I struggled to move and to come up with an answer of how to get out of this situation.
There was a sudden glow of gold, making me freeze and look down towards my chest. There, hanging around my neck was one of the two halves of the Healer of Venus. It was radiating with such a warm light that felt so familiar but I didn't remember where I felt such warmth in my life.
"This will be my promise for you. This half will always tie you to me. For true love always will heal."

I groaned and opened my eyes, this time feeling like I was finally waking up. I saw the ceiling of my room, the lamp imitating a dim white glow. I felt my whole body being stiff, as if I hadn't moved it in days.
I slowly turned my head to my right and saw Yaten-Kun laying just a few inches away from me. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even. 'Why is he right next to me? Why are we in my room?' As I tried to remember, I noticed him starting to stir in his sleep.
A few seconds passed and he slowly opened his lime green eyes. He seemed just as confused as I was at the moments he turned his head towards me and our eyes met. For a brief second it was just us here in this room, nothing existed but us. He groaned and looked up.
"My body feel like fire." He said.
"I can't move either." I commented. He tried to sit up but he feel right back down.
"For the love of the princess, move!" He scolded himself in a hushed voice but his body wasn't obeying that command.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Last I remember, we were in the void and I saw Danica waving us goodbye." He replied.
"I remember that but what happened before the whole ordinal of the void?" I asked back.
"The question in hand is, how much time has passed here." He said and finally was able to sit up. Seeing that he had done so, I guessed maybe I could sit up as well. My first attempt ended me fall back on the pillow. My second attempt proved to be more affective.
"We had one whole hour in the void, 60 minutes. Each minute was an hour here." I informed.
"We were sixty hours in theirs, not counting the ones we stayed before that. We stayed in there for two whole days and a half." He concluded.
"Two days and a half!?" I screeched as I fell back off my bed. I feel in the cold hard floor. I grunted. "This is not how I visioned myself when I came back." I muttered. Yaten-Kun looked down at me and game a small smile.
"Beats being on there. Though not everything was bad." He said.
"Are you talking about the girl? I believe her name was Danica?" I questioned.
"I named her like that. She didn't have an actual name to go as." He said. I stood up but the moment I did I felt my legs tremble and fall forwards but I didn't fall strait on the bed, with my face in the covers, instead I fell forwards on Yaten-Kun's chest. I looked up to him and he shook his head.
"We haven't been in this world for more than two days, if you count the other few minutes we wondered there, then that would make more than five. Your body is barely starting to get used to walking again. I suggest you don't do that until you are completely sure your body has gotten used to you moving again." He said.
"Well you could have warned me before hand but that will do, I guess." I said as I made myself sit right next to him.
"Wait, if we have been in the void for days, then what happened during all that time?" I asked. He shrugged.
"You really expect me to know what happened? I was busy trying to save you and avoiding the attacks that were thrown at me." He said. I smiled.
"Well I didn't really thank you back there so...thank you." I said with a closed grin. I suddenly felt a warmth over my chest. At first I thought maybe it was my heart, but then I realized it was in fact not my heart. I reached down and out of thin air, the second half of the Healer of Venus was hanging around my neck.
"Ya-" I stopped abruptly. The other half was hanging around his neck.
"So we brought it with us." He murmured as he it with one hand. "Good thing because my brothers would never believe me if I told them." He commented.
"I still can't believe such small, and let me just say gorgeous, necklace can hold such power and is also one of those three lost amulets of your planet." I said as I looked down towards the half hanging around my neck.
"The question I have now is, how did this get in the void?" He asked. My eyes widen just a little bit. Before I could say anything else I heard the door creek open, making me place my guard up. With what happened in the void, I don't think I will be at all relaxed for a while now.
"Yeah I know it's my-for the love of Serenity!!!" Artemis screeched as he saw us. I tilted my head.
"Uhh...anything wrong?" I asked. He looked between me and Yaten with shock.
"All of you come quick!!!!! They are awake!!!!!!" He cried out. There was a sudden commotion outside and the next thing I knew...was me being hugged by all my friends while Yaten got hugged by his brothers and then getting scolded by Taiki. Everyone was talking all at once, throwing questions at us as if we could process them in a second.
"CAN ALL IF YOU BE QUITE!!!!" Yaten finally gave out. Everyone got silent. Yaten muttered something about him wanting to go back. To be honest, I would also, this was not how I expected them to act once we got back.
"Let's go outside cause I am sure Minako doesn't want all of us in her room, not to mention it's so crowded here that I feel like I'll suffocate." He said with a sigh. So now, we are out side, sitting around the table. There was tension in the atmosphere, making me feel like I was going to faint any minute now.
"So first things first, how long have we been out?" Yaten asked.
"Nine and a half days." Taiki replied.
"Wait that long!?!" I exclaimed.
"I told you that it was over two days." Yaten said while giving me a side glance.
"I was expecting like four or five but nine?!" I said.
"I'm glad that both is you made it out." Usagi's breathed out.
"Believe me, it wasn't easy." Yaten muttered. I hummed.
"What happened in there?" Ami asked.
"A lot of weird stuff. There were visions and illusions, as well as those specters that we have been encountering recently." Yaten said.
"That doesn't sound fun." Mako said.
"It wasn't. The first test happened and we were about to die, second...I didn't participate so want to shed some light on that Yaten-Kun?" I said.
"I had to deal with a fake you, a specter, me learning how to shoot a freaking arrow, and go through a crazy obstacle course. I was about to die many times." He said. I felt my eyes twitch.
"You're kidding?" I asked.
"No. What did you expect? A walk in the park? Danica didn't make it easy for me just because I reminded her of her father." He said.
"Who is Danica?" Seiya asked.
"The guardian of the Forgotten Void." We both replied.
"Are they a senshi?" Rei asked.
"She had a senshi outfit. She didn't talk much about her though, she was mostly giving me tests." Yaten said.
"I called Hotaru earlier, she told me that the Forgotten void had been around since the fall of Silver Millennium." Ami informed. Everyone was in shock.
"That would explain why the first vision that we saw was of Silver Millennium and Queen Serenity." I said while placing my hand under my chin.
"That still doesn't explain why my kingdom was one of them as well or why the first of the three amulets was in the void." Yaten said.
"What do you mean?!" Seiya and Taiki demanded. Yaten glanced at me. Before we had gotten out of my room, we had taken off the halves just for in case. I took my half and he took out his. We united them together and showed them the full charm.
"This is what we had to get, the Healer of Venus, also known as the first amulet that radiates the Starlight." Yaten said.
"That is impossible!"
"How did it get into the void?! How come it doesn't look anything like the mural?!"
"I also thought that when I first saw it." Yaten said.
"Guys, you are missing the big picture." Ami said and everyone turned to see her.
"In some way or another, Silver Millennium and Kimmoko are connected. Think about it. A year ago, when Galaxia was searching for the Star Seeds, your princess came here, to earth in search of the light. The light chose our world. You said that the the first visions you saw were of Silver Millennium and Kimmoko. The Healer of Venus was in the void, a limbo dimension that can't be reached that easily yet somehow the necklace was there, a dimension that was created right after the fall of Silver Millennium. Your history says that your princess and the Starknights went to an unknown world in another solar system. Well I have been doing a lot of pondering, digging in the past, and I know very well well that back in Silver Millennium, there was a party held for Usagi's birthday. A kingdom from a far away planet came as well as the kingdom of the earth." She said.
"I get the first part but the second. Are you implying that-"
"My conclusion is that the kingdom the Starknights visited, was Silver Millennium." She said.
"No. That can't be possible. Our memory has been foggy lately sure, but to say that they came to our Kingdom? Now that is a stretch. Besides, there is no proof, only suspicion. The linking of both kingdoms isn't enough to just assume that." I said.
"We can't close the possibility. Also, it's something I have been thinking a lot. Yes our memory is foggy but I remember one thing, the native language of the Kimmocian." She said.
"What do you mean Ami?" Mako asked.
"When I herd the language, I found it familiar. It wasn't until recently that I remembered hearing it during Silver Millennium." She replied.
"Maybe you are just mixing things up." Rei said. We all became silent. What Ami was suggesting seemed possible but it also seemed impossible. How? This doesn't make sense.
"There is another thing we haven't told you guys." Yaten quit the silence short.
"Which is?" Seiya asked.
"Danica, or the guardian of the Forgotten Void, She said that this was only the first part." He said.
"F-first part of what?" Usagi's asked.
"Of the search. As you all know, there are three total amulets, this being the first. Meaning that we need to find two more, which also means that this won't be the last time we will be taken into the void." He said.
"Which is quite worrying." I said.
"Why?" Seiya asked.
"Because if the next ones who get taken don't pass, they will get stuck and with the last test we had to go through...it can be more difficult for any of you." He said.
"What test did you take last?" Taiki asked. I began to tremble.
"I was taken midway. I got brainwashed, because of that I was about to kill Yaten." I said.
"You can't be serious but you-" Mako held her tongue.
"She didn't know what she was doing, in the end she snapped out of it." Yaten said.
"It must have been really confusing." Seiya said.
"No, it was hard. I had a bow, one which held power a lot of power. I had used it against the specters and they perished with just one shot. I could have defeated Minako, though I couldn't bring myself in hurting her, which is why I never really shouted an arrow towards her. The only time I did was to make her let go of her sword and take a hold of her but I couldn't hurt her so, I technically gave up and told her to take my life, only then did she wake up from that and drop her sword." He explained.
"I can't even imagine that." Usagi said.
"Me neither. I mean this guy barely has feelings." Seiya said. Yaten got a random pencil laying on the table and threw it over to his brother. Seiya just barely managed to dodge. If he hadn't had dodged, the pencil would have gone right towards Seiya's mouth.
"You take nothing seriously!" Yaten snapped.
"Seiya that was low." Taiki said making the middle brother chuckle. Usagi gave Seiya a light head bump.
"You dummy! Be more considerate!" She said.
"Oi, oi, don't be so frustrated Odango. You will over cook that head of yours." He said with a cheeky grin.
"Seiya stop flirting." Yaten muttered. Seiya rolled his eyes but shut his mouth.
"Anyways, now that we have the Healer of Venus, of the Hold of the Starlight, we need to find a way to protect it. If the enemy were to know we had this power, they would attempt to obtain it. Even though we aren't sure how to wield it, we need to consider that they might know how to." I said.
"Should we trade it off between all of us?" Mako asked.
"I don't think that would be wise." Taiki said. I raised an eyebrow. As if feeling our intrigue, he sighed and glanced over all of us. "The amulets were only wielded by specific people, those being the Starknights and Princess. If we were to trade it with one another it would react." He said.
"I say you are just exaggerating." Seiya said.
"The you try to take it." Taiki challenges. Seiya grinned.
"I never say no to a challenge." He stated and reached over to the Healer of Venus. His hand only managed to hover over the golden necklace before it released a golden glow, making him halt back, a red burn visible on his palm.
"Ouch!! That thing burned me!" He said while trying to cool his burn with small blows over his palm.
"Anyone else wants to try?" Taiki asked. No one said anything. "Good. Since the...Healer of Venus can divide into two, I suggest that Yaten and Minako hold a half each, that way there will be less chance for the enemy to know and catch the person who has the whole amulet." He added.
"Yay! I get to keep a beautiful piece of jewelry!" I chirped. Everyone sweat dropped at me, making me chuckle lightly. "For the time being at least." I added.
"Keep in mind that this is a relic of our kingdom, we are trusting you Minako. If something were to happ-"
"Can you chill? Minako is very well capable of taking care of that relic. Besides, we are all together in this, we aren't 'enemies' anymore. So cool it. Only because we are called Starlights, it doesn't mean that we should have a hot head." Seiya said all carefree.
"For once I agree with the knuckle head." Yaten said. Seiya this time threw the pencil over but Yaten dodged it effortlessly, without seeing. He opened his eyes and glared at his brother.
"Really? May I remind you that you have horrible aim?" He asked.
"You want to bet?" Seiya asked.
"Guys, stop it. You both have your qualities, Seiya is better with the sword and Yaten better at aiming." Taiki said.
"While you are amazing with sticks." Seiya muttered. This time Taiki took a hold of Seiya and smashed his head on the table, making us girls say, "owww."
"Seiya for once in your life stop with your dumb jokes." He said with his eyebrow twitching.
"You didn't have to smash my head on the table." Seiya whined.
"Well it's better for us to take our leave. I actually want to have a nice sleep after the whole heck I had to go through to get the blonde." Yaten said as he stood up and placed a hand on my head. Warmth started to radiate from his hand, making me relax a bit. "This woman also needs one." He added and took off his hand. Something in me wanted his warmth to come back but I knew I couldn't ask for such thing.
"I agree." Taiki said.
"Yeah we all need some good sleep. These past few days have been stressful." Rei commented.
"We are just glad you two are back and that we didn't have any attack during your absence." Mako said.
"That's a relief." I said.
"I want to stay here, if you don't mind that is. I am still a bit shook with all of this." Usagi said. I smiled at her.
"Sure thing." I said.
"Alright we'll see you." Mako and Rei said and they went out the door.
"I will also take my leave, we have a test tomorrow after all." She said and turned.
"Wait what!?" I screeched.
"Don't worry I am sure the teacher will let you pass it. After all, have been 'sick' for the past days." She assured and went out.
"Well let's go Yaten." Seiya said as he slapped his brother's back. Taiki had gone ahead and went out just after Ami went out of view, leaving his brother behind.
"You don't have to tell me twice." He said. I don't know if it was only me, but I managed to see Yaten, right before I closed to door glance over and give me a small assuring smile.
