Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Truth Comes Out!: The Return Of Sakura Hanasaki, Angel Celeste!
Date: February 23, 1996
Well, yet another week had now passed since our most recent encounter with Viento. Or Yousuke Fuuma as I knew him, given the information I had on him and his alter devil form Viento. "Because as I am sure you are all aware by this point. Sorry, Shinko here viewers. Anyway, as I am sure you are all aware by now. I only know information on all of the main characters. But, I have no episode knowledge regarding future events. As I am sure you are also all aware of, one of the main reasons why self-insert fanfics are given such a bad rap, is because the author usually uses his/her knowledge of the anime, to change things about the anime. But, my fanfics put a new spin on this, as I have no information regarding the events of the anime, since I never watched the anime itself. But you all probably already knew that. Anyway, on with the story."
Later in the evening, as me and Momoko were currently asleep in our respective beds. Well, that is until a light started emanating from inside our room, which caused me to wake up first. "Okay, isn't the sun not supposed to rise for a couple more hours?..." I thought to myself, as I then turned my attention towards the source of the light, only to be met by a surprising sight, as Momoko then awoke as well from her sleep. "Wait a sec, isn't that...no it couldn't be...and yet, that looks quite a bit like Sakura Hanasaki...better known as Angel Celeste...and our mother...okay...well it would seem that things have suddenly become quite a bit more interesting...haven't they viewers," I thought to myself, as I briefly turned my sleepy eyesight to the right of me to briefly address the viewers.
Enthralled, Momoko tried to go and wake up her father. Well, our father, but I digress. However, Sakura stopped her, which was then followed by her transforming into Angel Celeste and told the both of us that she is Aphrodite's sister, Celeste. It was then that a stunning realization came into my mind. "Hold on a sec here, Angel Celeste is Aphrodite's sister!?...Then that would technically mean that me and Momoko are princesses...You know what though, I don't find it to be that surprising. After all, it's not every day that you find that you are technically of royal blood...Well, I guess that puts me and Momoko into a very elite group...And if 'she' exists in our timeline, that would mean that me and Momoko are now essentially on par with her and her group...since every single one of them is a princess from back in the past...Okay, I just became a little bit excited by that...I mean, if we ever wound up crossing paths with them, and circumstances would result in us having to work together...I mean, there really is no higher an honor then that...Okay, let me just think about this at a later date, because this isn't a priority right now," I thought to myself. As Angel Celeste then began her story.
About 15 years ago, during the war between the angels and devils, a warrior from the Rafaal tribe known as Uragano nearly destroyed Castle Roseberke. In order to keep the Saint Something Four safe, Aphrodite sent the four objects down to Earth, which Momoko noted, having both me and her reading about the light shower event in our school's records.
Sakura continued with Aphrodite sending out four warriors to go on the front lines including Celeste, Lily, Daisy, and Salvia. While they were able to defeat most of the devils, they were no match for Uragano, who blew away Lily and Daisy from the angel world and knocked Salvia unconscious. Being the only angel left, Celeste went to battle Uragano alone, resulting in both of them landing in the human world.
Soon after, Sakura met our father Shouichirou after being discovered unconscious while taking photos near the ocean. She woke up having no memories of her being an angel. Shouichirou then took her to a hospital where he took care and encouraged her while she healed. He is then seen with a bouquet of flowers to give to Sakura, but finds her missing from her bed. Before he leaves, he sees her outside by a cherry blossom tree and gave her the name "Sakura" from then on. The two were wed shortly after and gave birth to me a few years later, and Momoko a year after that.
As the four of us were living a happy life, Sakura one day regained her memories of being an angel and feared leaving her family. Limone soon appeared before her and told her of Aphrodite's critical condition protecting the angel world. Despite Sakura wanting to stay with us, she left to aid the angel world, leaving behind her wedding ring and preventing Shouichirou, me and Momoko from getting involved in the war.
As a result of building a barrier around the angel world, Sakura used up all her love wave and went into a deep sleep until, me, Wedding Peach, Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia woke her up with the energy from the Saint Something Four and my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. This was then followed by me and Momoko running up and hugging Sakura. Sakura then stated that once the war is over, she will be able to live happily with them once again. "However, viewers. Sorry Shinko here again. Unfortunately, even though the war with the devils will eventually end. Future events in this fanfic, will wind up requiring us to gather again. But enough foreshadowing. *giggles* Back to the story. Apparently though, Shouichirou then walked into the room having heard everything that had been said.
The following day, Yuri and Hinagiku show their support towards Celeste after me and Momoko informed them about her. Yousuke then appeared and called for Momoko who excitingly ran over to him. As per usual, and with Raindevila still out there, waiting to show up uninvited at any time. I accompanied Momoko, in case we would need to transform at a moments notice. This was then followed by Momoko taking out the muffler she worked on and gave it to Yousuke as a present.
A little later, me, Momoko and our parents were by the ocean and took several photos of our time together. Once the sunset hit, Sakura gave her farewell to us. And once I gave a nod to Momoko, indicating that Sakura and Shouichirou should have some time alone. We then ran away to leave them alone for the time being.
Having run to a cliff on the beach and then seeing Momoko tear up, more then likely about Sakura leaving. I then decided to console her on this. I then took Momoko in an embrace, as she sobbed on my right shoulder. "Sis, I know how you feel, believe me I do. But look at it this way, once this war with the devils is over, we can finally be a happy family again," I said, as I too then started to cry. "Thanks sis, that means a lot," Momoko said, as she continued to tear up. "You're quite welcome sis. Because as siblings, we have to look after each other," I said as we both still continued to embrace each other. "Shinko here. So let me once again reiterate viewers, she is my sister, nothing more. So don't be getting any weird ideas regarding us, okay? Anyway, back to the story."
Yousuke then showed up, and Momoko went to hug him, thus strengthening the love wave between the three of us. Since I had a small smile on my face, as they both hugged each other. However, a familiar thought then came to mind. "Okay, there's that familiar bad feeling again...oh good...there's Kachusha...man...she really knows how to ruin a moment doesn't she...wait a sec, did she just attack Yousuke?...Okay, this just became a very bad situation," I thought to myself, as Kachusha struck Yousuke with evil energy, causing him to transform into Viento in front of us. "Okay, might as well transform...wait, what is Momoko doing?...Okay, so Viento just knocked her back...Kachusha now you've really pissed me off!" I angrily thought to myself. As I then reached into my skirt pocket and pulled out my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. However, before I could transform, Viento took out his sword, and then proceeded to approach me and Momoko.
Thankfully though, a certain someone then summoned the Saint Astral Baton from her Something Blue earrings, as she then proceeded to use it on Viento. "The Veil Of The Maiden's Shyness!" Angel Lily said, as she did a full spin, while twirling the Saint Astral Baton. "Saint Astral Stardust!" Angel Lily followed up with, as she then got down on one knee, and spun the Saint Astral Baton on her now open palm, as the attack was then launched from it towards Viento.
At the exact same time, Angel Daisy summoned the Saint Tornado Rod from the Something Borrowed pendant, and proceeded to try and use it on Viento. "Memorial Candle Of Love!" Angel Daisy said, as two rows of candles appeared, which then lit themselves. "Saint Tornado Dreaming!" Angel Daisy followed up with, doing a 360 spin, and then firing her attack from the Saint Tornado Rod.
But their attacks were rendered useless. Angel Salvia then prepared to use one of her Saint Pure Swords attacks on Viento. "Passionate...Cake...Cut!" Angel Salvia said, as she proceeded to swing at Viento with an two handed overhead swing. But unfortunately, Angel Salvia was just pushed back into Angel Lily and Angel Daisy. Viento then attacked the three of them with his powers while me and Momoko watched. However, once she saw the muffler she gave to Yousuke on the ground, and was quite distraught about it. I then realized that now was as good a time as any to transform.
Momoko then pulled out and readied her Saint Miroir, and I readied my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. "Beautiful Wedding Flower!" Momoko said. And in a flash of light, she was in her wedding dress form. "Elegant Wedding Flower!" I said. And in a flash of light, I was Angel Bluebell once again, and in my usual battle outfit.
But, as the sound of chiming bells then filled the air, and Wedding Peach then began her introduction. I immediately knew that something was terribly wrong. Wedding Peach was not in her usual state when she usually did her introductions. In fact, partway through her introduction, Wedding Peach became very emotional and cried, collapsing to the ground. "Peach!" I yelled, as, Viento then attacked and tried to knock Wedding Peach back.
Thankfully though, I managed to use my superhuman speed to charge over to her, and block Viento advance with my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. However, unlike when I had gone against Pluie, which I didn't feel any reverberation from when his sword of darkness had clashed against my sword, this time it was different. And as Viento's sword slammed against mine, as I blocked it, I noticed something very strange. "Okay, that was a strong hit, and I felt it quite a bit...Still, Viento is still Yousuke, and given who he is to Momoko, I can't even attempt to harm him. I would never forgive myself if I wound up hurting him," I thought to myself, as I just stood there, with Viento's blocked blade still pressed hard against my Saint Sword Of Bluebell.
"Peach, Bluebell, fight back!" Angel Salvia yelled at the both of us. I then decided to speak up in an effort to explain the situation. "Look Salvia, I can't do that, he is still Yousuke, and I can't bear myself, of what would happen if either me or Peach wound up hurting him. I JUST CAN'T ALRIGHT?!" I said, as I passionately yelled out the last of my statement. But, before anything else could happen, a powerful wave of light came from out of nowhere, and turned Viento back into Yousuke. And as Wedding Peach then got up and the both of us looked towards the source of the light. We both noticed a familiar figure, and a thought then came to my mind. "Wait, so Celeste was responsible for that powerful light?...I never knew that she was this powerful," I thought to myself, as I looked at Angel Celeste in wonderment.
Celeste then told me and Wedding Peach to continue believing in love no matter the hardships. To which she then flew away. And as Angel Lily, Angel Daisy, and Angel Salvia rushed over to me and Wedding Peach to see if we were okay. Wedding Peach then looked towards Yousuke and screamed in disbelief at the fact that he was the devil Viento. And yet, I just knew, that our current problems, were far from being over.
