Take A Chance On Me

Chapter 1

-A Bundle of Emotions-

Drenched in sweat, Ami Mizuno rose out of her bed to collect her thoughts after a nightmare. It's been two years since her mother was murdered by a youma and not a day seemed to go by that she didn't blame herself for not being there to protect her mother from it.

After that tragic day, everything in Ami's life began to crumble as she started to distance herself from the other four sailor soldiers. They could never feel the pain that seemed to clutch at her heart and that pain placed a rift between the once very close friends.

Now new attacks were rising in Toyko and putting everyone under the microscope for inspection. Pure heart snatchers.

Splashing water onto her face, the ice senshi readied herself for another day at school. She took one critical glance at her newly changed wardrobe and chose something dark to match her mood. Staring at her reflection she couldn't help but marvel at what she saw looking back at her. A woman with striking blue hair cut close to her head in a stylish yet rogue fashion with piercing blue eyes to match. Her skin bared an almost alabaster texture to match a finely chiseled Michelangelo sculpture. A tailored white dress shirt was collared by a plum and white colored velvet tie. The tailored black vest and slacks completed the ensemble. This person that stared back at Ami resembled everything she was not. She saw someone cool and confident, but in reality she was scared and timid.

At top speed, Ami navigated her black corvette to the University where she found a great parking spot. Since her mother's death, Ami had pushed herself deeper into her studies to surpass her fellow students and entered into the University at a young age.

Standing across the University under a cherry blossom tree were Sailor Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto who were watching over Ami.

"She holds so much pain inside of her, I only wonder when she will release it." A woman with green tinted black hair that hung down her back continued to watch the ice senshi until she entered into the building.

"If I was not taken, I would try to talk to her and maybe ease her heart..." Shining turquoise eyes met teal ones that seemed to hold unbridle jealousy that soon was converted into good humor.

The handsome golden haired one responded, "I see, but there's a problem with that logic. She'll realize you are very hard to please in bed and grow tired of you."

This response was met by playful jab to the arm by the aqua hair woman as the other watched the playful jabbing of the couple.

After regaining her composure teal eyes said, "We need to keep our eyes glued on the inners and since it's three of us I have an idea. Michiru and I will take care of the other four sailor soldiers and you will keep an eye on Ami."

Startled garnet eyes looked at the other two senshis. "You have to be kidding me right. Why does Ami needs to be looked after."

"You said it yourself, Sets. She needs someone to talk to and you're the only objective one in this outfit." As soon as Michiru had spoken she felt the waves of the ocean began to pick up and new that trouble was close by.

The three outers ran to the battle and saw that four of the inners were already engaged in the fight. They kept hidden from view as they watched the battle closely, all three knew that if needed they too would join into it.

"Move out the way meatball head."

"Mars Flame Sniper." Sailor Mars expertly aimed her attack at the youma but it had ducked and then multiplied to surround the soldiers.

"Come on guys, we can't let this thing beat us." Sailor Jupiter known as the senshi of strength held her ground and was ready to fight to the death in order to protect the future queen.

"Shine Aqua Illusion." A powerful blast coming from the left had knocked the wind out of the youma and as it turned to the direction of the attack a soldier in blue was running towards it.

One jab. Next, a roundhouse. The youma and the soldier in blue was trading hits back and forward so fast all you could see was a blur of blue and green. Blue marked the color of the soldier and green marked the substance that was oozing out of the youma as it was being hit with a fury of punches and kicks.

Sailor Mecury ducked a punch while placing her hand on the opponent. She focused her energy into that spot, which then froze it completely in place where she laid the final blow.

"That was so cool, where did you learn how to do that Ami?" The senshi of love was so happy and excited to see the youma and eveyone was okay that she barely saw the pain expression on Ami's face.

Detransforming back into her regular clothes she answered, "It's nothing really..."

Makoto interrupted Ami by adding, "No, you just forgot that this is a team effort and thought to show off like you've been doing lately."

A pause then Ami responded, "Who is talking to me right now, is it you or your ego Makoto? Is it because my strength lasted longer than yours that you are attacking me now? Believe me when I say that I would have stayed far away from this if it had not been for my duty to Usagi."

"It's best that you did forget it, since you can't work with us as a team."

Ami took one long glance at Makoto, and then put her helmet on and slid onto her motorcycle. She invested in a motorcycle since the death of her mom. It allowed her to move quickly through traffic to the location of an attack.

"Ami, please don't go." Blue eyes shined with unshed tears held Ami in place for a few more seconds.

Shaking her head slowly side to side, "I am sorry Usagi, but I cannot take anymore of this kind of talk." Speeding off into the night, the senshi of ice left a cold bitterness to hang in the air.

The outers had waited for the others to leave before stepping back into the light. Michiru stood close by Haruka while Setsuna stood further to the side as they peered down the path that Ami used to leave.

"She's very strong and angry."

Michiru smirked, "Yes, she reminds me of someone I've fell in love with in each life that I have lived."

Teal eyes held an amused gleam. "Sets, it would seem that you have a challenge on your hands."

"Don't worry, I have everything under control", responded the stoic senshi of time. But little did she know that just like time, life can be very unpredictable and Ami will show her just that.
