Summary: Her mother missing, Ami does something silly, and ends up in trouble
of the Negaverse kind.
Note: This is the first chapter of a new series, as an effort to get around
the great big bloody writers WALL (not block) I am suffering from. Hopefully,
this will give me idea's for Memory fades, but until then that series is on
hold. Oh, and I prefer Ami spelt like this, and I never like the last name
Anderson, so Ami has her Japanese name, but everyone else has their other
name with Japanese last name. Oh, and Zoicite is a man, and hasn't had a
relationship (of the sexual kind) with Kunzite for a while. None of the Generals are dead.

Could this be love?
*********************
Chapter 1
***********
Ami shivered, her back pressed up against a cupboard door in her apartment.
She had been so stupid in the last battle, and now He was in her house.
Peering slightly around the corner, she could see long blonde slightly-
curling hair, and a figure, outlined by the light that she always left on in
the hallway when her mother wasn't home.
Her mother. Dr Mizuno had dissappeared weeks before, when coming back from a
conference. Ami's friends didn't know this, but Ami's father had found out
about his seperated wife's dissappearance, and had been sending money into
Ami's bank account for school fee's, bills, and general living costs, food,
etc.
But, the last battle.
After the hideous monster had been turned back into a human, and Zoicite had
left, spitting curses as he had vanished, Ami, wanting to analyse the scene
more, had been the last to leave.
Eventually, rolling her neck as it had stiffened in her lack of movement,
Mercury banished her screen, and absently rubbed under her tiara, just
stopping short of lifting it off. Then she sighed, putting her computer away,
and her tiara back, and looking to find a deserted alleyway the turn back
into Ami.
*
Zoicite leaned over the top of the building to watch as the girl he knew as
Sailor Mercury walked into it. He had no idea what had possesed him to follow
the scout, but now something was happening.
The girl closed her eyes, and her clothing began to shimmer. The light
covered her whole body, and when it finished, she was wearing a school fuku,
rather than a sailor scouts. The girl looked at her watch, sighed, and went
to leave.
Now, how was he to find out who she was?
*
Ami arrived home, finally shaking off the creepy feeling that someone had
been watching her. After all, who would want to watch the non-pretty
brainiac Ami Mizuno? She opened her appartment, and put some left overs in
the microwave. She was far to tired for cooking tonight.
*
Zoicite leant against the wall nonchalantly, waiting for one of the other
generals to walk by, which was inevietable, considering all of their
residences were past him, and he was blocking the entryway. He'd reported to
Beryl. Ugh, who in their right mind had ever made her a Queen of anything?
She had the most irritating non-pleasing voice, no whine, he'd ever heard.
And she came up with some of the stupidest questions when you were giving a
report. The thing was, Metallia supported her as Queen, and as long as that
was going on, Beryl would be the (if incompitent) Ruler of the Negaverse.
Facing facts, even Jadeite, with all of his impatience, or Nephrite with his
head in the clouds attitude, would make far better rulers than Beryl.
Speak of the devil "Nephrite," Zoicite called out, bringing the auburn haired
general's attention to him.
"What?" Nephrite asked, half preoccupied by his own thoughts.
"I was wondering if all schools in Jubaan had the same uniform?" Zoicite
said, not being able to think of a better way to phrase it.
Nephrite, strangely enough rolled his eyes. "No, they all have different
uniforms." He said, before giving Zoicite a long look, and striding away,
muttering something about plans that Beryl had ruined.
So, now all he had to do was find someone with the same uniform as Mercury
did.
*
Ami sighed, she'd been SO tired that she hadn't got any extra work done, and
now she'd have to do her extra reading in school, instead of doing her
calculations on the Mercury computer. Bother.
*
Zoicite lurked (because that is the only way one can describe that pose)
against a wall near the Crown Arcade. He saw a girl with reddish brown hair
walk past, wearing a uniform exactly like Mercury's. Zoicite was dressed in
a button down green shirt, and a pair of brown pants. A pair of glasses
rested on his nose.
"Excuse me, miss!" He called out, pushing himself away from the wall.
"Yes?" The girl asked, her accent was vaugely irritating.
"I'm looking for a good school to send my daughter to. I know all the schools
in Jubaan are good, but my daughter, well, she doesn't want to wear an ugly
uniform. And she saw a uniform like yours on someone else, and liked it, and
wanted to know what school you went to, so she could enrol. SO can you please
tell me what school you go to?" He was babbling, he knew he was babbling,
but eventually he managed to stop.
"I go to Crossroads Junior High." The girl said, with a smile. "I hope your
daughter comes to our school. Well, I've got to go, or I'm going to be late."
She said beginning to walk again.
Zoicite waved and smiled, he knew Mercury's school, he knew what she looked
like, and he could guess that she was probably the same age as the girl he'd
just spoken to. Well all he'd have to do was hack into the school computer,
and he'd find a match.
*
He'd found it. It had been hideously easy to break into the school's server,
and run through student files. Ami Mizuno. It had her address and everything,
well. He was going to pay Miss Mercury a visit tonight.
*
Ami was stuck, if she left the momentary safety of the cupboards, he would
get her. If she transformed, he could kill her in the precious seconds it
took. If she called the others her could hear. So what was she supposed to
do? An IQ of more than 300 and she had no idea what was going to happen. Or
even how Zoicite found out who she was, where she lived. Her friends didn't
even know that she lived alone now, she hadn't told, them, and now it was to
late.
She leant back more into the cupboard, and it creaked. Great. And now she'd
probably given away her position to an enemy. Ami closed her eyes, in
anticipation of an attack. Nothing, no bright lights ot anything.
*
Zoicite grinned, he knew where she was now. Summoning a small glowing
crystal, he threw it into the kitchen.
*
The crystal landed, and Ami stared at it, and tried to edge around it to run.
The crystal emitted a gas that Ami couldn't help but inhale. Gasping, she
pitched forward, towards the crystal.
The last thing she saw was a pair of amused green eyes, and then nothing.
Blessed, blessed silence.
