AN: This happens sometime after the battle with Galaxia.

Chapter 1

My name is Usagi Tsukino…I am 17 years old now, and just when we thought Galaxia was the last battle we would probably ever face… we are faced with a new challenge…but it doesn't seem like much…Right?

It was a beautiful day in Tokyo, the cherry blossoms were at their peak in blooming and the Sailor Senshi…or what used to be the Sailor Senshi were under the biggest tree they could find. It was a typical picnic, Usagi would be fighting over the food, while Minako and Rei watched her giving up on their portions, and Makoto was sitting by herself.

"Mako-chan! Why are you sitting by yourself? Come eat!" Usagi yelled between mouthfuls.

Makoto lifted her head up and looked at Usagi, she was cheerful as usual, "I just haven't spoken to Ami in a while, and I wonder if she's okay!"

Everyone stopped for a moment, realizing that Ami hadn't spoken to any of them in a while. Minako went into a pensive state for a moment before jumping up.

"Guys, we should go over to her house and storm her room!"

Everyone paused, kind of stunned, but they all ended up nodding in consensus. Ami needed them to raid her house, even if it was rude in the slightest. Luna and Artemis stirred from their nap up in the tree and joined the Senshi as they began to move out.

"Where are we going?"

Usagi turned to see Luna being snuggled by Artemis, as she was trying to get some answers. She couldn't help but think this was absolutely adorable.

"We're going to Ami's house, we're worried so we're going to rudely storm in unexpected!"

The two cats leaped up on their respective owner's shoulders and they moved out.

The walk wasn't exactly a long one, and they all knew exactly where the famous Mizuno Ami lived. It was only the largest house on the street, and the loneliest. Usagi leaped around the sidewalk, around her friends as they chatted amongst themselves. Usagi was happy; finally, it was peaceful at last. There were no negaverse or sailor Senshi gone bananas…it was peaceful.

"Hey guys, did you hear that?"

The other girls turned to Makoto who was apparently cupping her ear to listen to something. Rei and Minako ended up joining her in listening for whatever she had heard. All they could hear was the sounds of the city. Usagi didn't actually bother to try, assuming that Makoto just heard a random strange noise. She often heard those, everyone did.

"There it was again!" Makoto insisted, "Did you hear it?"

The others didn't and shook their heads. Makoto began to get frustrated and just hung her head.

They arrived at the gates, stared at the mansion in a moment of slight envy then rung the doorbell. A voice came from the garden and Ami appeared at the gates. There was something obviously wrong, as she was wheelchair bound with a cast around one of her legs.

"Ami! What happened?" Makoto jumped before anyone else had the chance to speak.

Ami was slightly flustered realizing that her attempts to hide her ailments from her friends had failed. She smiled and just opened the gates, backing her wheelchair up to avoid breaking her leg some more with the wrought iron.

The other Senshi immediately crowded around Ami, she got a little embarrassed. Ami felt someone grab her wheelchair and begin to wheel it towards the house. The Senshi were chatting amongst them before a figure came to the door. A young girl about the same age as they were came out from the house, with a broom and a bandana to keep her hair out of her face. Her hair was curling outwards at the ends, and she seemed to have a pretty nice look to her. She had headphones on and the Senshi could almost hear the lyrics above the screeching guitars on the track.

"Sorry ladies, I just mopped the floor so you'll have to wait a while before you can get in," she said.

Everyone turned to Ami, wondering who this girl was.

"Oh guys, meet Kiyoko-san, she's my temporary caretaker," Ami said gesturing to the girl whose uniform seemed extremely similar to their own.

"I think I've seen you in the hallways, nice to meet you," Kiyoko gave her outstretched hand.

Politely the other Senshi shook it, but each and every one of them felt a little jolt of insecurity as they did. Luna and Artemis backed off of the mystery girl who had begun to walk down to the gate. Ami waved goodbye, and Makoto began to wave before noticing that Ami's face had become beet red. Luna jumped down from Usagi's shoulder and across the ground grabbing Makoto's sock and pulling at it.

Luna motioned it with her head; she wanted to talk to her, probably about Ami's reaction to Kiyoko leaving.

"Hey guys, Luna and I are going to smell the flowers!" Makoto said picking the black kitty up and heading over to a random flowerbed.

"Of course you would pick the pink flowers," Luna said slightly in jest.

Makoto laughed a bit before getting a bit serious, "Did you notice that, Luna?"

Luna nodded, "I did, and as far as we were all concerned, Ami doesn't like women in that respect! Unless she's suddenly changed."

"It wasn't just that…that wasn't an expression of love."

"I noticed that too…"

Makoto turned around to see the other Senshi questioning why the brunette wasn't actually smelling the flowers, and just standing there staring straight ahead at the fencing. Makoto suddenly jerked down and smelled the flowers, or pretended to. These had a rather putrid scent to them.

Minako also noticed Ami's beet red face, but her droned-look as well. She knelt down, and went close so just a whisper could be shared between the two.

"Ami, can I talk to you for a second?"

Ami continued to stare at the gate for a second longer, seeing Kiyoko linger just a moment longer, then she snapped out of it and looked at Minako and nodded. The blonde stood up and took helm of the wheelchair and began to push it nearer to the gate, and noticed that Ami was so into seeing where Kiyoko was going. Was this love…? No it couldn't be, Ami wasn't gay.

"Hey Ami…I know this seems really personal, but you're really beet red around your caretaker," Minako tried to put it as tactfully as she could.

Ami flared, and covered her cheeks, "Oh gosh, I've been doing that a lot lately. I don't know what it is."

Minako looked down at the really well kept lawn, "Love, perhaps?"

"No way!" Ami said a little too loud, "I mean…it couldn't be… I don't know her."

Minako began to consider Ami just might be after her for looks, but that's slightly shallow. Ami twiddled her thumbs as she sat kind of uncomfortably around Minako, while Minako was contemplating about her friend's sudden crush on a girl. Ami suddenly felt a shot of absolute agony pass through her broken leg, like someone was taking a burning hot blade right through where it was broken.

Minako jumped, in fear that she might have caused it, "Ami! Are you okay? What's wrong?"

The blonde's fear triggered everyone else's who was pulled out of the conversations they had started and they quickly headed for their blue-haired friend. Ami looked like she wanted to rip off her cast, Minako was almost frightened, she hadn't seen her friend in this much pain since Galaxia. Usagi was panicking for a second, she didn't usually know what to do and this was no different. Rei suddenly sensed a source of evil coming from Ami's cast, which was weird; a cast was usually something that was good.

"Guys, do you sense that too?" Rei said reassuring herself.

Everyone else closed their eyes for a second, as their sensory wasn't as in tune as Rei's. Ami's pain began to dissipate and she attempted to sense whatever Rei was talking about. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw something in her mind and a headache joined the pain in her leg.

"Oh God, where is her caretaker? She would know what to do!" Minako said standing up, almost losing Artemis from on top of her shoulder.

As Ami writhed, in between gripping the side of her head and attempting to get to her cast, Artemis spotted a sticker on her wheelchair.

"Do I smell an emergency phone number?" Artemis said jumping off onto the wheelchair, attempting to read the number.

Usagi looked around at everyone, "Does anyone have a cell phone?"

Everyone looked around, slightly dumbstruck.

"I don't care if the floor's still wet! I'm going in, guys and calling Kiyoko!" Rei said slightly righteous.

Artemis ended up just peeling off the sticker and following Rei into the house, while the others tried to calm their agitated friend. Rei entered the house and immediately sensed that evil again, but stronger than it was on the cast. Why was everything that had to do with Ami being evil? As she stepped into the house further, she almost stepped into a puddle. She looked around shocked, seeing the floor of the house was covered in at least one inch of water. What the hell was going on here?

"Artemis! What is this?" Rei said splashing around trying to find the phone.

Artemis jumped to an elevator surface, away from the water, "I'm not sure Rei, but I don't think Ami likes swimming in her front hallway!"

Rei swung open the front door, trying to let the water out. The other Senshi immediately began to realize what evil Rei was talking about. Luna jumped off of Usagi's shoulder and onto Ami's lap.

"Guys, this may just be a hunch but you may or may not have to transform soon!"

They all sighed, hoping the last time they had to be with Galaxia, but they guessed wrong. There was new evil, but apparently it was just messing with Ami's house…it couldn't possibly be as big…or stronger than Galaxia. Rei continued onwards in the house and noticed something extremely out of place in the study. A six-foot staff, extremely ornate, wings and pointy things and although it was out of place, Rei couldn't help but admire it. Wait.

Ami didn't have a staff.

"You found me. I guess you don't have to find the phone anymore."

Rei jumped back, and Kiyoko emerged from nowhere, with an extremely evil aura around her. Artemis shouted from the closest elevator surface.

"TRANSFORM, REI!"

Rei flinched; maybe she was a little bit rusty being Sailor Mars. Kiyoko waited, beside her staff, which was much taller than she was. Kiyoko was a tiny girl compared to Rei, even.

"Mars Crystal Power, Make up!"

Back outside, the others heard Rei shout as she had left the door open. They too decided it was time once more to transform. Ami got frustrated even though she was in absolute agony; she had left her pen upstairs. She couldn't transform even if she wanted to.

"Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!"

"Venus Crystal Power, Make up!"

"Moon Eternal, Make up!"

Rei took Kiyoko's waiting almost as an insult. She had to be patient though, if she didn't it was almost like she was asking this strange kid to kill her.

"Who are you?" Rei asked, her were fists clenched.

"My name is Ito, Ito Kiyoko."

Rei wasn't expecting that kind of answer. More so, she was expecting some ridiculously long name and something about evil demons and Negaverse and most of that Jazz. Kiyoko waved her rod in front of her and a little mischievous grin appeared on her face.

"But I am also Lust."

Rei got confused for a moment, Lust? She tried to understand where this girl was coming from, but no avail. Lust? She couldn't get over that. It was almost funny.

Kiyoko's grin turned into a frown, "I hope you find this funny."

Makoto, Minako and Usagi were ready for battle, and then they remembered that Ami was sitting behind them, looking pretty helpless. Her pain had dissipated, and she had calmed down a bit.

"QUAGMIRE!"

"Quag- what?" Usagi said, what was happening inside?

Makoto and Minako nodded, "We're going to go inside, Usagi you stay with Ami!"

Ami felt like some sort of charity case, having her own Princess take care of her.

"Earth Spike!"

As Makoto and Minako approached the door, the ground from beneath them rumbled, and spikes from the ground blocked their entrance. They also missed impaling the two by inches.

"God, what is this?"

Luna didn't recognize this type of magic at all.

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

One of the bay windows blew out, with none other than the caretaker just barely dodging Rei's attack. They all noticed the insanely large staff that the girl was carrying. Ami jumped from her seat, completely in shock that her own caretaker was creating this havoc.

Makoto got angry, almost immediately; this girl was the source of the evil? No wonder Ami was acting strange.

"Jupiter, Oak Evolution!"

Kiyoko was caught by surprise, almost.

"Magic Rod."

Kiyoko tapped her staff into the ground and the red crystal at the end of the staff absorbed Jupiter's attack. They gasped; this wasn't looking good at all. Luna disapproved of her own thoughts for a moment but went skittering across the lawn towards the house. Usagi and Ami watched where Luna was going and saw Luna jump for one of the open windows on the top floor of the house. Ami gasped, realizing that Luna was looking for her pen. Could she actually transform in this state?

"It must be okay, if Luna's doing it…" Ami said to herself.

Luna appeared at the window once more, with Ami's pen. The Black kitty jumped for her dear life into a tree below her, Usagi and Ami kind of cringed. Luna jumped from the tree and skittered across the lawn once more, throwing the pen at Ami, as she got closer.

"Do it Ami!"

"Mercury Crystal Power, Make up!"

Makoto and Minako looked in shock and slight anger, she had a broken leg and she was still transforming. Kiyoko was extremely powerful, neither of them really knew if Ami could do much. Ami finished transforming and it took everyone a minute to absorb, that she was standing perfectly fine.

It clicked with Rei, "Hey! Her leg wasn't broken at all!"

Ami looked down at her leg, and moved it around for a moment, "Wow."

The Senshi sighed with a moment of relief, and Kiyoko was getting angry. 'These kids don't know what they're up against.'

"Ami-chan…" Kiyoko said in a rather seductive voice.

Ami turned her head, as she was trying to get out her computer and she saw the strange attractive glow in Kiyoko's eyes.

"Yes…come here."

Ami shook her head; the others were kind of shocked. What magic was this?

Minako had enough of this, "Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"

Kiyoko had enough as well, "Wall of Fog."

The attack went straight for Kiyoko, but a wall of thick fog appeared just in time for the attack to slow down to a dead stop.

"Damnit!" Minako cursed.

"I am Lust, but also Ito Kiyoko the sage of destruction."

"A what?" Usagi got lost in her introduction. 'Sage of Destruction?'

Ami snapped out of her little trance and got her blue goggles on in time. She tried to process Kiyoko as fast as she could. There was no sign of evil anywhere on Kiyoko.

"What's wrong Ami?" Usagi said, as everyone began to panic.

"There is no evil, it says! Kiyoko's a good person!" Ami said confused.

Minako thought to herself for a moment, was that her computer talking? Or Ami?

Kiyoko laughed, "Evil, I'm not evil. I'm Lust, and I have Ami under my spell already."

They turned a little bit shocked, under what spell? Rei once again tried to think, but couldn't figure out who Lust actually was. Usagi, for a nice change, jumped.

"Lust is one of the seven sins!" Usagi said, remembering what she had read once. Usagi? Read?

Rei wanted to shoot herself that Usagi was able to figure it out before she was able to. Kiyoko walked to Ami who was shaking in her boots, quite literally. Kiyoko waved her hand in front of the Senshi of water's face, and immediately Ami turned red all over again.

"Stop that!" Makoto said, before realizing what she had said.

"Make me," Kiyoko said, getting closer to Ami and kissing her on the lips.

Everyone stood, slightly disgusted and a little more surprised than anything. Ami fell to her knees, completely under Kiyoko's spell.

"I have a new little slave, guys!" Kiyoko said slightly gleefully.

Makoto cursed under her breath, before charging towards Kiyoko at full speed and punching her right in the side of the head. It was easy, a little too easy for what they had just faced a few minutes before.

"Ow!" Kiyoko said stumbling a bit backwards, "I guess my physical fighting isn't my forte."

Kiyoko waved her wand and disappeared, realizing that Makoto could beat her to a bloody pulp if she tried.

It was time to clean up the mess they had made of the garden. They didn't know how they were going to clean up the mess of the earth spikes sitting right outside the front door, and the one-inch of water flooding the house. Ami was still shocked, her lips felt tingly…really tingly.

"Hey Ami."

Ami looked up and saw Makoto, who had seemingly grown taller since they saw each other a few weeks ago. Ami looked down and saw Makoto wearing big boots and she was wearing only loafers. Ami felt herself getting all nervous and flustered, and she covered her cheeks again.

"Hm?" Makoto was curious about her friend's flustered expression.

Ami looked up and her eyes met with Makoto's big green eyes. Makoto blushed a bit, causing Ami to blush a bit more than she was already. Rei and Minako attempted to get the earth spikes out of the way of the door, and Usagi joined in by smacking it with what she called 'the spade of justice'.

"Mako-chan…" Ami said locked in her gaze.

Makoto remained silent, and swallowed heavily.

"HEY GUYS!" Usagi cried out, waving the spade of justice, "Wanna lend us a hand at moving these things?"

The two snapped out of each other's gaze, and laughed. They joined the rest of the team at breaking apart the Earth spikes. They eventually just broke apart from Usagi repeatedly hitting it with a spade. Rather, the spade of justice.
