Chapter 1: Rei's Gone
*Beeeeeeeeeep…Beeeeeeeeeep…BEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
"AHHHH!!!" Usagi rolled over in her bed and pulled her down pillow over her face in aggravation. The alarm continued to sound the same horrendous noise as she tried her best to ignore the thing. Giving up she threw the pillow across the room. "OKAY!! Okay!! I'm up." The blonde smacked her alarm into silence and glanced at the mirror across from her bed drearily. Her eyes struggled to stay open as she shook her head in shock at her appearance. "What happened to me??" She ran her fingers through her now shoulder length blonde hair that had once been up in two buns that trailed long blonde pigtails to her feet. "When did I get this do?? And what's with the make up??" She rubbed her eyes to try and remove the light purple eye shadow from her face. She stumbled out of her bed, which had her tangled up in her purple comforter with little moons and rabbits that her mother had gotten her forever ago. "Rei! Rei!" She stared at her best friends door. "REI!!!! What happened last night?" She mumbled something inaudible to herself as she pushed the door to Rei's room open. Her soft, innocent, baby blue eyes scanned the room in fear. Stumbling forward she carefully avoided a turned over lamp and a fallen bookshelf. She turned and bumped her leg against a small wooden chest that had all its contents spilled out of it. Noticing a small picture frame she picked it up delicately and bushed off the shattered glass that had once covered the picture within. A group of girls stood in their school uniforms, it was the last day they would ever be in high school. Usagi smiled slightly as she remembered the day. She went to sit on Rei's bed but stopped when she saw that the blankets were torn off and thrown on the ground and in the place of the blankets were all of Rei's clothes from both the closet and the dresser. In sudden realization that an act of some crime had been committed and her friend was missing she ran out of the room in a hurry only pausing at her own dresser to grab a hair tie which she used to pull her hair back into a tight ponytail. Usagi skidded to a halt in front of the room across from hers and pounded on it hurriedly. She wanted to scream out Makoto's name as she waited for the door to open. She rubbed her arm nervously and glanced down at her clothes. Shrugging away the fact that she was still in her baby blue silk pajamas she stared down the hall at a man who was carrying a girl towards the garage. Usagi frowned as her eyes were drawn to the long black hair that swept across the ground with every step the man took. Without even getting a real good look at the two she immediately knew that the girl with the black hair was her best friend Hino Rei. With no hesitation Usagi ran towards the man just as a young girl with dark chestnut colored hair stuck her head out the door and followed Usagi down the hall with bright emerald green eyes. The girl decided to follow Usagi in quick pursuit.
