Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon!
Charmer stood posed. Her eyes searching the dark area she was in. "I know you're here… SHOW YOURSELF!"
She heard a snicker come from nowhere. "This is nothing, Sailor Moon. Nothing to what I am planning to do to you and your friends." The old woman's voice cooed.
Charmer narrowed her eyes. "You will never ever touch my friends. Never!"
"I already have." The woman's voice came.
Charmer didn't falter. 'Already have? How?'
Seiya tightened his hold onto Sahara. She hadn't moved since he had yanked her out of the bed. As he rushed through the doors of the hospital, the nurses and patents all turned their heads to see Seiya and Taiki barging in frantically.
"She's not waking up!" Seiya yelled.
A nurse looked at the other two nurses by her side. He beautiful long violet hair was tied back in a high ponytail. Her deep green eyes were full of concern and her fair skin made her glow. She was wearing a long nurse's dress and hat, all white. She quickly turned to a stretcher and yanked it around towards Seiya.
"Place her on this." She ordered.
Seiya instantly placed Sahara on the stretcher. The nurse bent over Sahara and studied her coloring and reactions. "Oh dear… She is in arrest." She looked over at the other two nurses. "We need to get her out of here, NOW!" The three girls rushed Sahara into the back. As Seiya started to go after them, Taiki grabbed his shoulder.
"No, Seiya. We need to wait here."
Seiya lowered his head. "What is happening to her?"
"I'm not sure."
The blue haired girl walked into the queen's thrown room. She knelt by the thrown, which the queen sat in. "My Queen."
The queen's red eyes opened and she peered down at the woman before her. "Miharu, you were correct, I can sense that girl is very powerful. I believe, by reading her thoughts, that she is Sailor Moon, or at least thinks she is."
Miharu nodded. "What do you wish of me now, my Queen?"
The deep ruby eyes gazed upon Miharu. "I want you to attack this girl. Spill her blood before she awakes if need be. Make her just a memory." The woman's voice was as cold as ice.
"Yes, My Queen." Miharu smirked. "It'll be my utmost pleasure!"
Charmer turned around. "Show yourself! This is a pathetic way to fight!"
The woman's chuckles grew louder. "You're correct. It is time to kill you."
Charmer grounded herself, ready to be attacked. She eyed everything around her. Then, a man's figure appeared before her. Her eyes widened as she realized who he was. His short black hair looked freshly cut and his beautiful ocean blue eyes glistened with tears.
"Mamoru…" She said softly as the man started to walk towards her. His arms open to her.
"Usako!" He said in a seductive voice.
"NO! Stay away! I'm no longer Usagi!" She screamed at him.
He stopped walking towards her and looked hurt. "Usako…" He whispered. "Why do you not want our future? Why did you want Chibi-Usa to not be born?"
Charmer felt her heart tear. "Chibi-Usa…" Her eyes filled with tears. She quickly regained herself. "She will still be my daughter! I have not given up on her!"
Mamoru's eyes gazed over. "You killed her when you aloud yourself to die." He hissed.
"ENOUGH!" She screamed as tears began to start to fall. "STAR CHARMING BLAST!" A beam of light shot out from her star yell and shot into Mamoru's shoulder.
"Now, you're willing to kill me too?" He asked in a very hurt voice.
The nurses held Sahara down onto the stretcher. "Doctor, hurry! She's starting to shake!" The violet nurse yelled.
A male doctor rushed into the area holding a syringe. His dark green hair was neatly combed and cut, much like Mamoru's hair. His golden eyes were filled with determination. He was wearing a normal doctor's white coat. "This should do it!" He said as he approached Sahara. Sahara suddenly threw her arms out and the nurses grabbed them.
"HURRY!"
The doctor uncapped the needle. "I know." He then stuck it into Sahara.
Charmer fell to her knees. "NO! You are not REAL!"
Mamoru pulled a knife out from behind him. "Yes, I am very real."
Charmer looked up at Mamoru. "No, you're not! STAR CHARMING- YIKES!"
Mamoru ran towards Charmer with the knife aimed true to her chest. She quickly grabbed his arms and tried to stop him from penetrating her skin. He was stronger then her and the tip of his knife cut into her chest. She yipped, but would not fault. Suddenly, he started to vanish and Charmer looked around in shock. She looked in front of her to see that Mamoru was totally gone. She then dropped her arms to her sides. "What is going on?" She looked around in the darkness, but she felt safe. She looked at her chest and saw a small amount of blood trickle down her chest, but nothing major. She was safe.
Seiya and Taiki sat in the waiting room. Taiki took a quick glance at his watch. "It's almost two A.M. I wonder if we should…"
"No, let everyone else sleep. In fact, you should as well." Seiya said softly. "We all need our strength. If this is more then a unusual nightmare, and I am sure it is, we will need all of the energy we can get."
Taiki nodded. "You're right, however, I will not leave your or Sahara's side. I am too awake anyways to go back to sleep."
Seiya sighed but said nothing. He felt as if his heart would tear. "Taiki, I need to talk to you about something very important. No criticizing me though."
Taiki eyed Seiya. "What?"
Seiya closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I am going to ask Sahara for…"
Taiki's eyes widened as Seiya finished his sentence in a soft whisper. Taiki leaned down to Seiya and whispered something back that caused Seiya to act surprised as well.
The doctor wiped his brow and sighed. "Everything is back to normal. She should slumber here until morning. Wheel her into the recovery room." The Doctor then turned his back to the nurses and walked out of the room. He headed towards the waiting room. He looked around to see if anyone was nearby beside hospital staff. Two men whispering softly who both looked familiar caught his eyes.
"Did you two come in with the girl sleeping?" He asked them as he approached.
Seiya sat up strait. "Yes! Is she okay!"
The Doctor frowned as he slowly walked over to a counter and pulled out a clipboard. He gestured for the two boys to approach him. Seiya and Taiki exchanged glances and walked over to the doctor. "What is her name." The Doctor finally asked when they were close enough.
"Sahara. Her name is Sahara." Seiya told the Doctor with fright all over his voice.
"What is her Star Light name?" The Doctor asked, not looking up.
"How did you-" Seiya began; however Taiki cut him off.
"Charmer. She is our newest Star Light. She was once upon a time known on earth as Sailor Moon." Taiki said in a very formal voice.
"Sailor Moon of Earth, eh?" The Doctor pondered as he placed the clipboard down. "The reason I knew she was a Star Light was because something evil had attacked her in her sleep. It was an evil aurora. One I never felt before. Second, I too was a Star Light." The Doctor paused to let these facts sink into the two men. "This attack was very powerful and it looked to be that it was attacking her mind. Causing her to have a mental relapse – or maybe even a total shut down. Therefore, she needs some one by her side at all times until the evil is found and eliminated."
Seiya and Taiki glanced at each other. It had been verified; a new evil has appeared and has already targeted Sahara.
Sahara slowly opened her eyes and glanced around her room. She wasn't in her normal room and the smell was all too familiar. She quickly sat up and looked down. She was now in a hospital gown. She pried at it until she could see the part of her chest that Mamoru had stabbed. It was just above her right breast. A bandage covered the spot and some blood seeped through the bandage. "What's going on?" She asked out loud, to no one in particular.
"You had been attacked." A man's voice said from the other side of the room.
Sahara looked up, alarmed. She had not seen anyone in the room earlier. She let go of her gown and her eyes filled with tears when she saw who was in the chair on the other side of the room. "Seiya! Oh, thank God! You're alive!"
Seiya looked at Sahara with deep concern. "What did you see?"
Sahara felt some tears start to fall down her cheeks. "Nothing… it was just a … dream."
Seiya got out of his chair and walked over to her. He took her hand in his own hands and held it up to his cheek as he studied her face. "Ondango, it was not just a dream. Some one attacked you in your sleep. Please, tell me, what did you see?"
Sahara started to cry harder. "I-I can't… it's too…." Her voice trailed off. Seiya took his right hand and wiped the tears from her face. He smiled at her as he cupped her cheek with the same hand.
"Shhh…. You're fine now. I am here for you." He leaned down towards her and gently kissed her lips. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. Her fears were drowning from the warmth of his touch. He let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him as he deepened his kiss.
"Seiy-a… I-I…"Sahara murmured as she fell into the passion of his kiss. "I-I-Oh Seiya… I love you so much!" She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer to her. She tried to pull him onto the bed, but he resisted. He broke their kiss and stared into her light violet eyes.
Sahara looked down finally to see that he was wearing a robe, his hair was loose and tangled up, but it still glimmered in the lights. "Oh, did I wake you up last night?" She asked.
Seiya smiled as he pulled away. "It's alright. I'm glad you did. If you hadn't… you would have had much more then that gash." He said as he pointed her the bandage just above her hospital gown. Sahara blushed a little and pulled her gown up to cover the bandage. "Sahara, you are not leaving my sight. I will be by your side, protecting you. I will not allow this to happen to you ever again." Seiya said in a deep, meaningful voice. "I love you just too much."
Sahara smiled a soft smile at him. She knew that he loved her with all that he was. She knew that he'd die for her. "I love you, Seiya." She leaned forward to kiss him.
"Are you awake?" The violet haired nurse who had taken care of her the night before asked as she walked into the room with out knocking.
Seiya pulled away and stood up strait. Sahara smiled warmly at the nurse. "Yes, I am. But, I am so hungry!"
The nurse laughed and then said, "I'll send you up some breakfast along with papers to sign to be released."
Sahara smiled at the woman. "Thank you very much."
The nurse smiled back. "I'll go get it now." She then quickly walked out the door leaving Seiya and Sahara alone once more.
"Well, that takes care of you, but I'm hungry as well." Seiya made a small pout face.
Sahara laughed lightly. "We'll get you some food real soon! Promise!"
Ami sat next to Taiki while Yaten and Minako sat beside Rei in the break room. They all looked like they were in deep thought.
"There's no doubt about it," Rei said softly. "There's a new evil out there."
Taiki let out a sigh. "It doesn't really concern you so if you want to leave…"
Minako glared at Taiki. "NEVER! Sahara is still Usagi! Who ever attacks her attacks us as well!" She tightened her hands into fists. "We must inform the others. This is too serious to not inform them."
Rei nodded her head. "Who wants to inform Haruka?"
Yaten let out a small laugh. "Seiya, I vote Seiya." An evil smirk crossed his lips as Minako batted him upside his head with her purse.
"I vote Yaten-chan!" Minako said. Yaten opened his eyes wide and started to shake his head no frantically.
"I will."
Everyone looked at Rei. She pressed her lips together tightly. "I will never be afraid of Haruka, and I will inform her as well as the other outers."
Taiki nodded his head. "Ami and I will inform Makoto. Yaten, Minako, stay here with Sahara and Seiya, and inform our Princess. I believe they will need all the help they can get."
Everyone nodded their heads and started on their ways.
Sahara and Seiya walked down the hall of the palace holding hands. Neither of them spoke, too deep into their own thoughts.
"Ano, excuse me."
The couple looked up to see a pretty blue haired girl standing before them. Her outfit was a little weird, as it was blue with spaghetti straps all around it. Gold stars glistened on the straps.
"Yes?" Sahara asked softly. Seiya stood posed by her. He didn't like this girl at all.
"Your name is, um… Charmer?" The girl asked Sahara, ignoring Seiya.
Sahara let go of Seiya's hand. "Hai."
The girl smiled. "Oh, good! I thought it was you! Then he must be your boyfriend. So handsome he is!" The girl said as she pointed towards Seiya. Her smile suddenly turned into a scold. "He's in the way!" Blue lightning shot out from her finger and blasted into Seiya. He was sent flying backwards. Sahara gasped as she watched the scene unfold in slow motion.
"CHARMER STAR POWER!" Sahara yelled as she took on the form of Charmer.
Charmer stood before the girl. Her blue hair blew in the wind. "Hello, Sailor Moon, my name is Miharu and I am here to aid my queen. My first instruction was; to kill the one named Charmer aka Sailor Moon." She then stood in a fighter's stance. "Now, the time to talk is over. Time, to die Sailor Moon!" She then ran towards Charmer, with blue lightning appearing in her hands.
Charmer jumped to the side, but the other woman didn't falter. She jumped onto Charmer as Charmer landed. Charmer fell to the ground and tried to reach for her Star Yell.
"How does it feel?" Miharu seethed. She pressed the blue lightning into Charmers bandaged chest. "The pain of my blue lightning?"
Charmer closed her eyes tightly, trying to block the pain. 'I must do something…'
Seiya stood up and his clothes transformed into armor and a red light appeared in his right hand. The light transformed into a sword. "YAH!" He yell as he jumped towards Miharu with his sword aimed true. The girl glanced towards him and vanished into thin air. She reappeared behind him and shot some lightning at him. Seiya fell forward from the impact. Charmer reached out to grab him. As he fell into her arms he gave her a weak smile. "You know, I'll do anything for you, right? Even die?"
Charmer looked at him in shock. "Don't say that!"
Seiya looked at Miharu. "Is that all you got?" He asked as he stood back up. Charmer stood up behind him. She glared at the woman. Seiya tightened his grip on his sword. "I've dealt with stronger and tougher people then you!" He leaped at Miharu and swung his sword causing red light to blast from it.
Charmer held out her Star Yell. "Star CHARMING-" She started to yell when suddenly she was pushed back by the blast of the red light hitting Miharu. Charmer dropped the Star Yell and flew into the wall. She quickly shook her head and opened her eyes and gasped. "SEIYA!"
Seiya was standing not to far away from Miharu. He was breathing deeply as Miharu was on the ground, wounded badly. She looked up at Seiya and glared at him.
"This wasn't meant for you…" She moved her arms quickly as a huge ball of lightning appeared before her. "So, DIE!" She yelled as she unleashed the ball of lightning at Seiya. Seiya stabbed his sword into the floor and tried to block the attack with his chi.
"SEIYA!" Charmer yelled as she tried to stand. She looked for her Star Yell and saw it lying on the ground a way away from her. She ran over to it just as the ball of lightning was about to his Seiya.
"SILENT WALL!"
Charmer looked up as a girl with shoulder length raven hair stood before Seiya and made a barrier to block the attack. In fact, four women had appeared in the room. Miharu growled as the Silent wall dissolved her spell. She then faded away.
Charmer fell to her knees. "Sailor Saturn, thank you." She then turned to the other three senshi. "Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto… what brings you…"
Sailor Uranus shot a look towards Seiya before she looked back at Charmer. "Rei-chan told us what had happened and we felt that it was dangerous to leave you here alone with him." She extended her thumb towards Seiya as she closed her eyes.
Charmer smiled softly. "Thank you."
Sailor Uranus walked over to Charmer and extended her hand out to her. "Common, lets get you to your room."
Charmer took her hand and Uranus pulled her back up.
Seiya smiled meekly at the outers. "She was stronger then I thought." He shook his head. "She spoke of a queen."
Charmer lowered her head. "My dream…" She then looked into Uranus's eyes. "There was a older woman with ruby eyes in my dream. She knew I was Sailor Moon… so did Miharu… and the dream was so real…" Charmer pointed to the blood soaked bandage on her chest. "That I got this from my dreams."
Pluto walked up to Charmer. "What all happened in your dream?"
Charmer looked towards Seiya, her eyes glistening with tears. "I-I can't say."
Seiya rushed over to Charmer. "Why not?"
"I don't want to hurt your feelings." She replied meekly.
Uranus looked at Neptune and then at Seiya. "Who cares about his-"
Whack.
Uranus rubbed her shoulder where Neptune punched her. "Fine… what ever."
Pluto approached Charmer. "It's not real, your dream." She studied Charmer for a minute. "So it should not hurt Seiya."
"Pluto, I dreamt of hurting Mamoru and killing Chibi-Usa." She said softly. "Mamoru stabbed me. Plus, I dreamt that all of you were murdered."
Pluto smiled. "Mamoru is very happy. Plus, I can say that… Chibi-Usa… she's still in your future. However, that is all I will say."
Charmer smiled. "Really?"
Pluto smiled. "Now, lets get you and Seiya-san cleaned up. There's a lot more people on their way to help with the fight."
Uranus walked over to Seiya. "You are rusty, Seiya. You should have beaten that woman's ass with out even a blink." She glared at Seiya. "How can you protect my princess like that?"
Seiya cringed. "I was doing fine. I was just working up to the big stuff." He replied.
Uranus shook her head slowly. "Pitiful." She then walked off, leaving Seiya to stare after her. He tightened his hands into fists as his sword vanished. It was true; he had gotten out of practice. However, he will not allow anyone to beat him. He will protect Sahara no matter what.
A/N: No cliffy this time. Plus, the more reviews I get, the more I prioritize the stories! So, review!
Preview: Haruka and Sahara sat on a swing side by side. Haruka looked out at the pound shimmering in the sunlight. "It is very pretty here." She remarked. "However, Koneko-chan, how are things here?"
Sahara leaned back and smiled. "Well, everything seems to be fine. Until now."
"I mean, with him?" Haruka said as she studied the pond.
"Seiya?" Sahara asked.
Haruka looked at Sahara firmly. "Hai."
