A/N:  Sorry about leaving you hanging in the last chapter.  Actually, no I'm not!  Hehe.

Chapter 2:  Dinner Music

Shiori made it back down to the lobby.  She knew from living with her sisters that it would be at least thirty minutes before they would arrive.  She looked around the lobby once again.  It had emptied out considerably in the ten minutes that she had left it.  Even the piano was quiet.  She walked up to it and sat down on the piano bench.  She began to play a few notes hoping that the hotel would not mind.  She glanced around to see if anyone noticed her.  No one seemed to.  She turned back to the piano, closed her eyes and let the notes flow through her to the piano.  Out came a slow song from her very soul.

(A/N: Any music I use in this is not mine.  I borrowed it for the fic.  This one is borrowed from Debbie Gibson)

~When the fear sets in, Where the fire burns, Where I find a place, Where there's nowhere to turn, When the evening sings, an eerie song, longing for the day, you say I'm wrong

You can find your place, But never fit in, and only when you've left, do you know where, I can see the light, but only when it's gone.  You can go on waiting, But only for so long

I know we are right.  It's not always clear, because I've never felt the fear.  Can it stay so good, forever in time?   I've always felt the rhythm, What happens when, there's no more rhyme?

Can we face ourselves,

like we face each other? 

We've never felt anything,

on our own.  

I can't wait much longer,

to feel any danger. 

I hope we're not living for,

a lifetime alone

I know we are right. 

It's not always clear,

because I've never felt the fear. 

Can it stay so good,

forever in time?  

I've always felt the rhythm,

What happens when,

there's no more rhyme?

Hard to go on,

It's like waiting for, the other shoe to drop.  

I'll never stop,

Believing in you. 

It's just we never had to struggle, I

t all came too easy,

I hope we felt what we felt from the start,

We've never suffered a broken heart,

We've been so blinded by all the best,

We never put our love to the test.

I've always felt the rhythm,

What happens when,

 There's no more rhyme?

As she finished, she heard loud applause.  She looked up and found the lobby had become crowded once again.  Mamoru and his friends were standing around her applauding along with all the other guests.  The hotel workers had even stopped to listen.  The pianist she saw earlier was there too. Noticing this, Shiori quickly began to mutter an apology.  "I'm sorry for playing your piano."  She bowed.  "I thought you were finished."  

"No problem at all!" replied the pianist.  "Anytime you want to play feel free.  That was absolutely beautiful!"

Just then, Kira and Yumiko stepped out of the elevator.  "I knew that she couldn't keep away from it for very long," said Kira.

Yumiko grabbed a hold of her sister's wrist and said, "Let's go join Shiori!"

Dodging the crowd, Yumiko and Kira joined their sister.  Hey sis!  "How bout one with us too?" asked Yumiko. 

Hearing this, Mamoru agreed.  "What do you say?  One more for your fans?" 

"Why not?" shrugged Shiori.

"This one is for all the cute guys out there!"  Said Yumiko.

You're irresistible,

You're mine

Don't want you for the weekend,

Don't want you for a day

Don't need a love divided,

Don't wanna feel this way

See I want you to need me (the way I need you),

Just like I need you (the way I see you),

And I want you to see me,

Like noone before

You're irresistible,

you're natural, physical,

It's indefinable,

magical, illogical,

So make you mineable,

You're mine.

So can't you see I'm tortured,

Oh can't you hear my pain,

If you just let me show you,

 I'll be your summer rain

Then you feel that you want me (the way I'm feeling),

 Just like I want you (the way I want you),

And you know nothing's better,

It's like nothing before

You're irresistible,

you're natural, physical,

It's indefinable,

magical, illogical,

So make you mineable,

You're mine.

Now you feel what I'm feeling (don't you feel what I'm feeling),

Don't you know that it's more (it can take you to places),

It can take you to places like never before

You're irresistible,

you're natural, physical,

It's indefinable,

magical, illogical,

So make you mineable, You're mine.~

~*Applause*~ 

"Wow!  That was awesome!"  Squealed Usagi, as she and Mamoru approached the trio. 

The three turned to Mamoru and his friends.  "Thank you."  Said Yumiko.  "Let me introduce ourselves. I am Yumiko Star.  These are my sisters, Shiori and Kira."  They both waved.

Mamoru introduced Usagi.  "This is my fiancée Tsukino Usagi." 

"Please call me Usagi. Hehe."   Usagi reached out her hand to Shiori.

~ZAP~ A strange energy made Shiori stop and stare at Usagi.  (What is this strange feeling?  Is she who we are…) her thoughts trailed off as Usagi took over the introductions.  "These are my friends."  Pointing to a tall girl with a long brown ponytail, "This is Kino Makoto.  Next to her is Aino Minako.  We look like sisters but we really aren't.  Here is Mizuno Ami.  Grabbing a shy blue haired girl.  And last but certainly not least is Hino Rei."  Said Usagi as a girl with long dark hair came forward.

"It's nice to meet you all."  Said the trio.

"Well, now that introductions are out of the way, how 'bout we go eat?"  Said Mamoru. 

"Oooooo I'm starving!"  Said Yumiko and Usagi at the same time. 

Everyone sweat dropped at Usagi & Yumiko while they laughed for saying the same thing at the same time.

They all headed to the hotel restaurant and ate dinner.   When the bill was brought, Shiori told the waiter to charge it to their room. 

"You don't have to pay for us."  Said Mamoru.

"Hey, it's no problem."  You guys have been the first to treat us as normal people in a while.  It's really my pleasure."  Said Shiori.

"Shiori?"  Asked Yumiko. 

"Hmmmmm?"

"Can I ask them now?  Shiori?"

"Hmmmm? Oh, sure."

The five friends looked a bit perplexed at Shiori, Yumiko and Kira. 

"Do you guys want to show us around Tokyo tomorrow?"  Asked Yumiko.

"We would love to!"  Agreed everyone!

"Then it's settled.  Tomorrow say about 9:00am meet us here in the lobby?"  Asked Yumiko.

"You betcha!"  Said Usagi.

"Ok, well we will see you then."  Said Yumiko.

They all went their separate ways.  Mamoru and Usagi went out together while Minako, Makoto, Rei and Ami all left too.  Kira, Yumiko and Shiori all went to the elevator to go back to their hotel room.

"Shiori."  Said Kira. 

No answer.

A little bit louder…"Shiori!?"

"Oh, what is it?" replied a distracted Shiori. 

"What has gotten into you so suddenly?"  Asked a concerned Kira.  "I have never seen you so quiet.  What's the matter?"

"Yeah sis.  Me neither." Agreed Yumi.  "What gives?"

"I don't know.  I felt this strange energy from Usagi when we first touched.  It quickly faded, but I have never felt anything like it.  Maybe our search will be over soon."  Replied Shiori.

Yumiko looked at her sister with affection.  "Do you think she is one of them?" 

"I don't know.  But what I do know, is that she is that she is far more than she seems."  Said Shiori.

"Then we must be cautious around her and her friends." Said Kira, as they all stepped into their suite.  "Well, I'm going to bed.  I suggest that the two of you do too.  9:00 comes awful early especially when recovering from jetlag."

"Goodnight." Said Yumiko & Shiori. 

Yumi turned to Shiori.  "I do hope that we do find them soon.  I don't think that we can keep fighting for much longer with out them."

"So do I.,  " said Shiori.  "So do I…"
