More to come, Raya. This one is done, but there has to be another to tell what happens next. Jadeite has some sweet talking to do. ^-^ But before that I need a little bit of info. Do they ever name who Wiseman was during the uprising, or name the uprising? I can't remember, and I'm to tired to go hunt.

I am the enemy
Redemption part I
AN: Kameko is Beryl's future reincarnation in Crystal Tokyo. She has no clue who she is.
Previous story: Kameko's point of view The Job Interview
Jadeite's point of view: In need of help
Kameko laid her head down on her arms as the words cut like knives inside of her head, leaving open wounds in their wake.
Sailor Venus crossed the room and started speaking to Jadeite. "Has Sailor Mars found out what was is going to happen?"
Jadeite raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Mercury frown slightly at Venus, and answered Jadeite's question in a softer tone. "The reason she insisted that we had to hire Kameko to be the head of surveillance."
Jadeite's frown matched Mercury's, and his voice was just as soft. "No, wouldn't she have told you first? Or do you think it was so we could keep an eye on her after all?"
She had just left the room and was heading back to her office, but she had forgotten the mini surveillance camera she had taken in to show Venus. Turning about, she slipped back in, trying not to disturb them. Her attention was caught by Venus' statement, and then her curiosity and desire to know everything going on kept her listening. "I shouldn't have been listening that hard. I know better."
The memory of the waiting room the day of her job interview floated back into her mind. "They were looking for someone in particular. And it was me. But... but why did Jadeite think that they needed to keep an eye on me?" That was the part that hurt the most. It was the distrust in Jadeite tone that made her feel ill. 'Even though it felt like the distrust had faded, it was still...remembered.'.
Lifting up her head, Kameko stared sightlessly at the computer monitor in front of her. "You have to let it go. You knew that he didn't trust you to start with." A small smile escaped as she remembered him flitting behind corners, ghosting behind her, or him resting underneath her window. "But he does now. I know he does."
Giving herself a shake, Kameko left her desk and crossed the room. Opening in the window, she tried to let the wind blow the pain away. Instead, it blew the words about in her head, jumbling them up, changing their order until the only part that made sense was that she was hired to stop something from happening. Running her fingers through her short strawberry blonde hair, she felt a small frown crease her forehead. "Something is going to happen and it required me to be the head of surveillance." She paused as the idea sank in deeper. "Then, why didn't they tell me. There are many other things I could have implemented to keep a closer eye on the palace and the grounds. Of course, I would have to know who all the potential enemies are." Marching back to her computer, she flipped it on. She needed answers, and research was a good place to start.
*****************
Two days later, Kameko leaned back in her chair and rubbed her tired eyes. The screen was finally blank. 'I knew that the kingdom couldn't be as peaceful as it seemed, but...' Shaking her head, she still felt awed at the number of enemies that her king and queen had made. 'But none of them are really that powerful. Not enough to warrant hiring someone they didn't trust into the position that protected them.' It didn't hurt quite as much today. She knew she had earned their trust since she had come here, and now she was trying to prove that they were right in giving it.
Glancing about her office, she noticed that everyone else had gone home. 'The night shift is watching the monitors in the other room...' She poured herself a cup of tea. ' ...but no one is monitoring the inner computer system. It is all automated at night.' Setting the tea cup on the far side of her desk, she faced the keyboard. It was time to attempt the impossible. It was time to find out who the King's and Queen's old enemies were before the awakening and that meant cracking Sailor Mercury's protection codes.
Typing furiously, she routed her computer signal so that it came through a small, unused computer in the back office of one of the warehouses in Italy. Some careful checking proved there were no permanent users for it. 'I hope no one get caught, but I don't want them to trace this back to me. But I know Mercury won't let me into those files.' Taking more precautions that seemed even more ludicrous than routing her terminal, she began hacking into the system.
*************
It had taken her four very long intense nights, but Kameko was in. There, sitting at her fingertips, was information about the King and Queen that the public was dying to know. If she had been so inclined, she could have made her fortune at that moment. Scanning through all the personal information that, although interesting, was not pertinent to her quest, she eventually found the section about the enemies the Senshi had faced and defeated.
'Galaxia, Senshi of the chaos star. Senshi can be enemies? That is nice to know. It is also good to know that there are more out there than the protectors of the King and Queen.' Making a mental note to pay close attention to out-of-country visitors, she continued to read. 'Melded with the Cauldron. I wonder what the Cauldron is?' Pondering that, she made a quick note that Galaxia might have been reborn.
'Someone named Nehellinia, Queen of the Dark Moon. But it is noted here that she was healed, and sent back in time. So, she wasn't destroyed, but healed. I doubt we have to worry about her. Someone named Wiseman on a planet called Nemesis. They destroyed the planet with him on it, so...' She mentally struck him off her list of possibles.
'Pharoh 90 and Mistress 9. Mistress 9 was destroyed and Pharoh 90 was sent back to his own dimension by Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto. Who are they? I've never seen or heard of those two.' A slow smile escaped her. It seemed there were senshi she had never heard of that protected the King and Queen. She had something else to research.
'Since the unknown senshi put them into a different dimension, I doubt either of them are coming back. That leaves Queen Beryl and Queen Metallia.' Kameko felt her insides go cold, and her hands began to shake. 'Blood sugar must be low.' She munched on a few cookies, and drank some of her ever present hot tea. The shaking receded.
She continued reading. 'Beryl controlled the four lords, and also kidnapped Endymion? She was destroyed, not healed. Metallia was completely destroyed as well. But Mercury says that she was actually some form of Chaos, the same one that Galaxia was associated with. So, they might both be reborn.' She added them to her list before reading further. ' Hold on... It says here that Eternal Sailor Moon healed the Cauldron. That means...' She struck off Galaxia and Metallia off her list of potential suspects. There was only one name left on it, Queen Beryl. Glancing back over the list, she mentally checked to make sure she was right. 'Hold on, Wiseman wasn't healed. He and his planet blew up, but there is no mention of healing or him being connected to Chaos. So...' She re-wrote his name on the list.
'Now I need to run a search specifically for information about those two and see what they have. I'll start with Queen Beryl since she was from Earth, and would most likely be born here again. She has the highest potential of becoming a threat.' Glancing at the time, she noticed it was just shortly after ten. 'I've been reading for about two hours, I'll give myself one more before I have to leave. Three hours is a long time in this file. I hope Mercury's randomized scan doesn't run until after eleven tonight.' She set up her escape path, preparing for the worst. The last thing she wanted was to be tagged.
Typing in her parameters, she started her search. As she read her findings, she stopped short at the last entry. Kameko felt her blood run cold and her stomach tried to simultaneously sink and heave. The words on the screen branded themselves into her mind and into her heart.
Mars had a vision that told us that we needed to
hire the reincarnation of Beryl as the head of surveillance.
Doing so would prevent some unknown disastrous events from
happening. We finally found her.
Running on autopilot, Kameko extracted herself from the file, wiped all traces of her visit away, and shut down her computer. Sitting in the dark, memories started making sense. 'They worried about me with Endymion. Every time we had a private meeting, one of the four lords was right outside the door. Jadeite followed me for months. Kunzite watched me so closely at meals and meetings, I thought he could count the number of hairs on my head. The Senshi watched me like a hawk when I wandered the grounds, and Mercury checked everything that I was doing, twice. Each person had an excuse. Well, except Jadeite. But their real reason.... Their real reason...' She couldn't bring herself to even think it. She could not imagine herself as their enemy. Jumping up, Kameko fled her office and the palace grounds.
