Chapter 7: Loved and Chased! Luna's Worst Day Ever

"You certainly got dragged into a terrible mess." Ami sweatdropped, seeing Luna dunk her wounded tail into the water fountain to cool it off.

"No kidding." Luna pouted, after explaining her unfortunate run-in with the alley cats. "I've got nothing to do with turf wars among stray cats."

"Hi there!" Usagi greeted.

"Thanks for waiting." Makoto added. "Where's Rei?" she looked around.

"She said she wanted to go on a date because it's Sunday." Ami sighed.

"What in the world are you doing?" Usagi asked, seeing Ami work on her compact computer.

"I'm looking for the seventh Nijizuishou." Ami replied.

"The Moon Stick hasn't responded at all." Usagi peered at the crescent wand sticking out of her bag.

"That's why we're using the computer to narrow down where the seventh Nijizuishou might be," Luna informed.

"Luna." Ami voiced. "The scan is complete."

"This is where the seventh Nijizuishou must be." Luna realized when the scan centered on a building.

"Okay, let's go." Makoto remarked after they arrived in front of An Ohara's house.

"I'll just wait here." Luna stated, having noticed Rhett Butler in the house.

"Luna, this is an important mission." Usagi imitated Luna's stern expression. "You should be more away of that."

"Excuse me, I am not that ugly." Luna huffed.

"It doesn't really matter." Ami shrugged. "I'm sure even Luna has days she doesn't feel up to it. Then, wait there for a bit, okay?" she requested.

"The Stick is responding." Usagi whispered when the Moon Stick started beeping when An Ohara answered the door.

"That little girl is a Youma?" Makoto gaped.

"Oh no, you can't!" Ohara cried out after Rhett Butler wiggled himself out of her grasp and made a break down the stairs. "Come back, Rhett Butler!" she chased after her pet. "Rhett Butler?" she entered the alley Rhett Butler had ran into.

"Now, time to take the Nijizuishou." Zoisite approached Ohara after he knocked her out. "Why?" he frowned when the girl had no reaction to the Black Crystal. "Why isn't the Nijizuishou appearing? Damn it!" he cursed his mistake. "So, that ugly cat is the Youma. I can't believe I missed that. The final great Youma isn't reborn as a human." he reclaimed the Black Crystal.

"That's as far as you go!" Sailor Moon declared. "Now that I am here, I won't let you have your way! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"

"Quiet!" Zoisite scoffed.

"Sailor Moon, move!" Sailor Mercury barked. "Shabon Spray!" she let her bubbles loose to counter Zoisite's attack.

"I changed my mind." Zoisite sighed. "I'm too bust to play with you guys."

"You're not getting away!" Sailor Jupiter snapped. "Supreme...!" she charged up her attack when Zoisite vanished in a swirl of petals.

"But where has Luna gone?" Makoto wondered after they got Ohara back to her house and tucked the girl into her bed.

"Yeah, she's so undependable." Usagi whined. "Where in the word is she goofing off at this critical time?"

"Knowing Luna, I'm sure that not it." Ami defended. "Maybe something happened to her."

"There's a cartridge of the Sailor V game over here." Usagi gushed, picking up the game cartridge.

"Usagi..." Ami sighed.

"Right when Zoisite could be back any moment to attack us." Makoto sweatdropped.

"But I can't believe such a little girl as a Nijizuishou." Ami turned to Ohara.

"I should've gone on a date with Yuichiro." Rei sighed on the bank of a river. "It's Luna." she spotted the Mau cat on the other side of the bank. "With her boyfriend, I see." she saw Rhett Butler in front of the black cat. "Well, great for her. What the hell is that?" she exclaimed, seeing a swarm of rats burst out from the sewer pipe.

"The Moon Stick isn't responding!" Ami exclaimed. "Why didn't I notice this earlier?"

"That means this girl isn't involved?" Makoto realized. "Then, why was it responding earlier? Could it be,,,"

"That's right." Ami came to the same conclusion. "It was responding to that cat."

"Fire Soul!" Sailor Mars' fireball struck the rat-engulfed Zoisite, forcing the mice to retreat. "I'm the pretty Sailor Senshi of love and justice, Sailor Mars." the fire Senshi introduced herself. "I won't allow you to interfere with their love. Even if they're cats, love is still love."

"No!" Luna protested.

"The fire of passion is burning." Sailor Mars continued. "The fire of justice is burning. Anyone who gets in the way of love, or rather, the love of beasts, in the name of Mars, Sailor Mars will chastise you!"

"You're such a dummy." Zoisite chuckled and revealed the Black Crystal.

"Consider the situation before you start posing." Luna scolded.

"This time, I will be sure to take the Nijizuishou." Zoisite activated the crystal shard and extracted the violet Nijizuishou.

"Rhett Butler." Luna gaped when an energy tornado engulfed the oversized feline and changing him into his Bakene form.

"Now, finish them off, great Youma." Zoisite instructed. "There aren't so many of them today, so it should be an easy victory."

"The last Nijizuishou is mine." Tuxedo Kamen slid down the bunker after tossing his rose at Zoisite and forcing the evil Shitennou to drop the crystal.

"Damn you, Tuxedo Kamen!" Zoisite cursed after the masked hero made off with his prize. "Stop right there!" he chased after his foe.

"It's heading towards the town." Sailor Mars gasped when Bakene changed directions.

"No!" Luna protested. "Please stay there." she pleaded, stopping Bakene. "I'll get you back to the way you were soon, I promise."

"Luna!" Sailor Mars screamed when the black cat slipped and tumbled down the slope, before gaping when Bakene reached out to stop Luna's fall.

"Don't worry." Luna assured. "Usagi will restore you to the way you were."

"So, they were lovers, just as I thought." Sailor Mars held back a tear.

"Shabon Spray!" Sailor Mercury's fog came in.

"Sailor Jupiter!" Sailor Mars blinked when the Thunder Senshi swooped in and snatched Luna away. "What are you doing?" she chided after the fog died down. "You're late."

"I'm sorry." Sailor Mercury apologized. "I wasn't paying attention and mistook the real carrier."

"Moon Healing Escalation!" Sailor Moon cast her healing energy wave at Bakene.

SailorStar9: Well, that's one chapter down.
