****** Search, Part 1 ******

The other Senshi took Usagi back to the shrine. She had fainted due to
her delusions and her fever. The Senshi hoped they could help Usagi
with her fever. However, this was the second night that Usagi had the
infamous fever and she was worse on that night that before. They tried
to keep her safe if all possible. Ami continued to monitor Usagi. Ami noticed
that there was a faint odor to Usagi. Ami didn't know why Usagi developed
an odor. She thought it could have been the toxins that was inside her body.
After a while, Usagi woke up once more and like before. Haruka spoke to usagi.

"Odango, are you alright?"

Haruka spoke with a concerned tone in her voice. Usagi looked at herself and
she noticed the clothes that were wet before were changed with dry clothes.
Usagi spoke up in a weaker voice than before.

"I am weak and I ache bad. What is happening to me?"

Usagi replied and asked what was happening to her. Ami wanted to tell Usagi,
however Ami thought it was best that Usagi didn't know many details. Ami spoke
up.

"You're ill Usagi... you have been having a fever and we are trying to make
you well."

That was all that Ami was willing to tell Usagi without her asking too many questions.
Usagi just nodded that she understood and didn't want to ask too many more questions.
Usagi just lay there on the bed and didn't say anything more to anyone else. The Senshi
also had to be careful of what they said around Usagi while she was awake. Usagi eventually
drifted back to sleep. Ami felt bad for Usagi. Her situation was getting worse. Rei spoke
up.

"Why don't you tell Usagi everything?"

Rei asked in a curious tone.

"I think it is best not to tell Usagi everything until I have more information. We don't
need to scare her and I am sure she is scared enough."

Ami explained the situation.

"I guess you're right. Usagi doesn't need to be frightened anymore."

Rei answered Ami.

"That's right. Right now, we shouldn't let Usagi out of our sight."

Ami suggested that they keep an eye on Usagi. Her fever was bound to return again
once night fell again. They knew once night had fallen, Usagi would be in the same
state as before. She'd be in a delusional state as before. Ami feared that Usagi
could be worse once night had fallen again and what would they do if she was in a
delusional state again and their powers may not work next time. That's what Ami thought
about that. Usagi's condition was pretty much normal. She felt a bit warm. And like
the night before, Rei was left to care for Usagi once again and when she had to leave
to take care of her personal duties and left Yuuichirou to watch over Usagi. Then night
had fallen and Usagi's fever returned. Yuuichirou tried keeping Usagi there, but Usagi
in her delusional state just pushed him aside as she left the shrine.

"Oh no! Usagi-San, come back!"

Yuuichirou yelled at Usagi she left the shrine. Yuuichirou ran and found Rei and he spoke
to her.

"Rei, trouble Rei! Usagi woke up again and in a delusional state! I tried to get her to
stay, but she wouldn't listen."

Yuuichirou spoke in a worried tone for Usagi. Rei suddenly became worried herself. She
spoke to him.

"Thank you Yuuichirou. I know you tried to keep Usagi here, I need to go and find her
before it is too late."

Rei told him and she left the shrine and called the others to begin to look for Usagi. Usagi
on the other hand mutated slightly into a mutant with a slight build with red glowing eyes.

"Destroy! Destroy!"

The mutant yelled as it unleashed its power to the nearby buildings and trees.

"DIE!"

The mutant yelled at everything around it. The Senshi showed up. They saw the mutant and the
mutant saw it. They realized that the mutant smelled bad. It had a horrible stench that caused
the Senshi to keep their distance.

"DESTROY THE SENSHI!"

The mutant yelled as it charged at the Senshi knocking them to the ground. The mutant had a pure
hatred for the Senshi.

"WORLD SHAKING!"

Sailor Uranus yelled as she hurled a ball of energy at the mutant, however the mutant just absorbed
her power and it wasn't affected at all.

"PUNY SENSHI CAN'T HURT MUTANT!"

The mutant yelled at them in anger. The Senshi had no idea that it was Usagi who had mutated and they
wouldn't find out until much later. The mystery was for the Senshi was... where did Usagi go? They had
to find her before it is too late. However, they didn't know that Usagi was fighting against them.
