Hey all!! I got some advice from a friend telling me to hurry up and update or my readers would revolt against me and stop reading. You wouldn't do that to me now would you *gives puppy dog eyes to readers who look like they are just iching to give me a beating for not updating soon enough* okay. So maybe you would. Eh he he stay back, all of you!!! I've got your story, just stay back!! *readers just keeping creeping after terrified lilith* I said stay back!!! You won't get anymore if you don't *readers stop advancing but still look threatening* that's better. Since you've been so good, here's the story, enjoy, just don't kill me please!!! *runs away screaming after throwing papers in the face of readers*

Quick note — "" = talking ' = thinking : : = Mindspeaking** - Mindspeech is a Gift that is used between those with the gift and between bonded animals and their bondmates. In the case of this story, it is used between Senshi (I may change that later) and Lilith and her Familiers (you'll learn more later)

*Last time: "Woah, hold on! It's okay. We're all fine. Beryl's gone. I defeated her with the Ginzuishou. Don't worry." Usagi tried to explain what was happening but stopped suddenly when her watch/communicator started beeping wildly.

This time:

"Hai?!" Usagi said into the beeping communicator as she opened it.

"Odango Atama!!!" An angry voice, that sounded suspiciously like Mars, screeched from inside the device, "We called you over ten minutes ago!! We need your help and NOW!!!" The connection was cut off and a quiet static sound was the only thing left coming from the device that had just been yelling furiously at it's owner seconds before (it wasn't yelling but to a passerby that's what it would sound like).

"Kuso! They need my help, I forgot. I have to go!" With that she took off again at the same speed she had run into Lilith with."

"Wait! Let me help you!" I yelled trying to catch up with her. She couldn't hear me by then for she had gotten too far away. "Shimatta!! Just when I find her I loose her again."

Lilith knelt down on the sidewalk, clasped her hands in prayer, and closed her eyes. To anyone on the street, this might have looked odd, but Lilith paid the strange looks no heed.

Lilith cast her senses to her home and called upon the power of the kagesuisho (shadow crystal, *deep, all-knowing voice* ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED) that appeared enclosed in her hands with a small lilac flash, "Amaranth, Iianthe*, your presence is required." A bright flash of lilac light came from the kageshuisho and as it died down two cats' appeared, one black with an amethyst shine and the other silver with an amethyst shine. Both had an amethyst crescent (in the real sense of the word, not upturned like Sailormoon's but sideways like you would see in the night sky) moon on their shoulder, the black's was on his left shoulder, the silver's on his right. "Dearhearts, I know I promised you rest, but this is of utmost importance."

:Say no more Little Flower," the black cat' said to Lilith in a slightly ancient (I don't know how to describe it) voice, "though rest is enjoyable, serving you is our duty and pleasure.: The cat' gave a small bow that made Lilith giggle at the sight of a cat' bowing.

:Yes Amaryllis (*again the all-knowing voice says* ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED), we could never rest knowing you were in need of our help. Now, what is you require of us Dearest?: The silver cat' spoke up with the same ancient accent.

"I have found Serenity-hime, but I lost her. I needed you here so that I could use my Gifts to find her." Lilith explained. She had the Gifts of Empathy, Healing, and Mage Talent, but they could only be used when her Familiers were in nonentity form (they live in the crystal when not in material form). Lilith streched out her Gift of Empathy to find Usagi's emotional signature (she can tell who a person is using her Gift, kind of like sensing ki).

"Found her. She is in trouble, her emotions are much stronger than normal. Thank you my Dearhearts but we must not waste time on reunions, Serenity-hime needs Sailorlilith now." Lilith closed her eyes and began to meditate, causing a lilac glow to surround her. The glow continued to get brighter until you couldn't see Lilith or the two cats' any longer. The energy surged and died in an instant and the three comrades were no longer there.*

*Amaranth and Iianthe are from a series of books, The Dragon Nimbus Series, by Irene Radford. I used the names and some other info about them (which you don't have yet) from the books. I didn't get her permission to use them and I don't own them in anyway (except the fact that the Amaranth in my story is different than hers).

**Mindspeech (and Gifts in general) belong to Mercedes Lackey from her series of books on Mages and Heralds. Other ideas I have will also partially come from her books and I would like to say that I have no permission to use (or expand on) them and I don't own anything that I may eventually use in my story.

Okay, that's all for tonight. I just wanted to get something out today so I made this kinda short. There will be more out tomorrow, I still have a lot more to type and this seemed an appropriate time to stop. If you ever get the chance, read some of Mercedes Lackey's books and some of Irene Radford's. If any of you are confused about the ' s around the word cat, you'll understand soon enough. All I will tell you now is that they aren't really cats. Another little note, an amaryllis is a white, purple, and pink or red lily-like flower. You should learn more about the name later, I think, I haven't written that far yet. Please review!! Go read serena rose's and brittaneia's stories. That's all, I'm tired, good night.
