A New Threat / Chapter One

Lita Comb's Apartment – Tokyo

"Lita, will you go on already, you're going to be late." Twenty-two year old Serena Shields pointed out with a hint of impatience. The brunette seated at the dressing table nodded solemnly and laid down her brush.

"You're right, of course." Twenty-two year old Lita Comb admitted. Standing up she walked to a playpen situated in the corner of the room. Lifting out the infant, she reluctantly handed her over. "Alright, now Akita has a slight case of diaper rash so be careful when changing her. Her lunch is already in the fridge so all you need to do is heat it up in the microwave." Lita listed as Serena pushed her towards the door, handing her various items such as purse and car keys along the way. "Oh and she's started trying to climb out of her playpen, so keep an eye on her after you've put her down for a nap."

"I got it Lita. Diaper rash, food, and climbing." Serena rattled off as she opened the door. "I'll remember, now hurry, you're going to be late."

"Wait a minute; this is a scout meeting, right?" Serena nodded. "Then why aren't you coming? I mean, you our leader, right?" Serena shrugged.

"I don't know, all I know is that Rei said this was one meeting that I couldn't quote 'grace my presence with.'" Serena answered.

"Really, that's odd, then I guess I'll get going then." Lita inched forwards out the door, stopping to give baby Akino a kiss on the head. Serena sighed and pushed her friend out the door, then closing it before Lita could do anything.

"You know, your mother can be such a worry wart sometimes." Serena said to the small baby in her arms. "Oh well, how about we get you something to eat, maybe something sugary?" Serena smiled and headed off towards the kitchen.

Rei Hino's Shrine – Tokyo

"Alright Amy, spill, what could we possibly be talking about today that would warrant leaving Serena out?" Lita questioned as she stomped into the shrine room.

"Her," Amy answered simply, flipping through a new medical textbook that she had just purchased. The twenty-two year old blue haired girl was in her second year of medical school, and loving it.

"Why would we be talking about Serena?" Mina asked from her seat on the bed. The blond twenty-two year old was flipping through one of her latest magazines, criticizing herself.

"Oh I don't know, how about her recent miscarriage?" Rei stated as she glared at her blond friend. Rei had taken over the shrine after she'd graduated from college. The twenty-two year old was currently busy planning her wedding to Chad.

"It was a simple miscarriage, a tragedy, but stuff like that happens." Mina argued, looking up.

"Mina, Serena was perfectly healthy before the miscarriage. Medically, there was nothing that would have caused it." Amy answered as she closed her book. "Rei and I have been talking, and we believe there was another force at work."

"Like what?" Lita asked, sitting down on the floor next to Amy.

"Like the Black Moon Family is back in town." Rei stated, crossing her arms.

"Oh yeah, and what reason could they possibly have for killing Serena's kid? I mean, didn't we already beat their butts once already?" Mina replied tersely, staring down the black-haired girl in front of her. She had been with Serena when Serena had miscarried. She didn't want her friend to think that someone had intentionally killed her baby, which would be too cruel, especially if that someone had been a past enemy.

"Who's to say that they won't attack again?" A voice said from the doorway. "And this time, when they kill Serena, they'll be no heir to take the throne of Crystal Tokyo."
