"Usagi-chan?" Makoto quietly said, causing the Senshi of the Moon to look at her.

"What's up, Mako-chan?" she asked, a friendly, innocent smile on her face.

"Well, I was thinking..." the Senshi of Thunder trailed off uncertainly, then continued, "we haven't seen Michiru-san since we went over, have we?"

The rabbit girl blinked, then thought for a few seconds. "You're right! I haven't seen her anywhere! What do you think happened to her?"

"Well," Rei piped in, "she just seemed so depressed when we went over... I hope she didn't... well, you know." She drew a line across her neck with her finger.

"Oh no! Michiru-san wouldn't do that!" Usagi shouted. "But... what if she did?"

"We should go check on her," Minako said, looking determined. "She's our good friend and she's been through a lot. We owe it to her."

"Ami-chan?" Ami looked up at Usagi, lifting her nose from her Organic Chemistry textbook.

"Yes, Usagi-chan?"

"We're going over to Michiru-san's to check on her. Want to come?"

Ami's cheeks turned a faint pink as she nodded perhaps too vigorously. "Of course, Usagi-chan." She stood up, setting her book down.

"Someone has a crush," Rei teased quietly.

"It's not like she can help it," Makoto interjected, looking at them both. "Haruka-san was just so beautiful, and Michiru-san is too. Haruka-san looked just like my sempai, too..." There were faint sparkles in her eyes as she swooned a little. "I know Minako-chan, Usagi-chan, and I fell in love with her at first glance. Ami-chan, you must be the same."

"Well I'm not in love with anyone!" Rei protested. Makoto cleared her throat.

"Don't think we haven't seen you glancing at Minako," she murmured, smirking. Rei blushed a deep red.

"You...! You're not supposed to know about that!" she whispered furiously. "According to the anime writers, I'm supposed to be in love with Usagi and Mamoru-kun!"

"Oh, is that why you say her name without any suffix?" Makoto said, surprised. "That... that actually makes a lot of sense."

"Did someone say my name?" Usagi asked, turning around.

"No, Usagi-chan," Makoto said. "We should get going, don't you think?"

"Yeah!" Usagi nodded. "Let's go, minna!"

Haruka stumbled into her cell and nearly passed out on the bed.

It had been three days since they had been captured—at least she figured it had been three days, because, for some reason, there were no windows.

Today's round of experiments had been particularly grueling. They had been wanting to test what effect her Daimon form had on her senshi powers, so they had forced her to transform. They then drew blood from her, had studied the differences between her blood when she wasn't transformed and when she was, and had isolated several new hormones that only appeared when she was transformed. They then attempted to neutralize the hormones by injecting several different chemicals in her, one of which left her hallucinating that there were walls with razor-sharp teeth closing in on her, which had caused her powerful claustrophobia to kick in and leave her a crying mess.

Overall, Haruka was terribly exhausted, and they had succeeded in neutralizing her senshi powers for a while. She couldn't even transform anymore. She figured that her lack of powers would last until the drugs wore off.

She wondered what they were doing to Michiru.


The aforementioned woman was trying to figure out if she could summon enough power to break the handcuffs.

Professor Tomoe had been muttering something about neutralizing her senshi powers and was currently turned around, preparing a vial of... something.

Michiru wondered what kind of substance was colored bright pink.

The glass broke and she saw a small round object fly into the air.

"Go, my Daimon, and implant yourself in..." Tomoe looked around. "Something that we're not using! It really doesn't matter!" He laughed wildly.

The Daimon egg flew into Kaolinite's computer, which was sitting on a desk nearby. Tomoe walked over and touched it lightly, and then there was a flash of light.

"PORNO!" the Daimon shouted, and Michiru's face turned cherry red.

Tomoe blinked, then began to laugh maniacally. "This is PERFECT! It will distract random civilians from noticing that we're taking Pure Hearts! Mwahahahahaha!"

He was referring, of course, to the Daimon's head, which was shaped rather like...

Michiru cut that line of thought very firmly until the Daimon turned around, and she saw that it had breasts instead of a normal rear.

"Porno!" the Daimon shouted happily, staring at Tomoe.

"Or wait... maybe this will scar the children..." the professor mused, thinking. "Ah, who cares? It's distracting!" He began to laugh again.

The porn Daimon walked over to the barely-conscious violin Daimon in Haruka's body, peering at it curiously. "Porno?" it asked.

"Octave," the violin-Daimon managed to whisper.

"Porno."

"Octave."

"I think those two are going to get along just fine," Tomoe said almost lovingly. He looked at Michiru. "Now for you..." He held up a syringe. "Don't worry, you won't be having hallucinations like Haruka-san did. I've already tested these out on her."

He looked at her handcuffs, which were glowing blue by now, tutted once, and said, "I'd really like to keep you awake for this so I could write down all of your reactions, but it'll be easier if I simply knock you out." He wiggled the syringe. "Don't worry, I've stuck a local anesthetic in here. You'll be out for most of it."

The last thing she saw before closing her eyes was the porn-Daimon's face, staring down at her curiously.


When Usagi and the others arrived at Michiru's apartment, the first thing they noticed was that the door was broken down.

"Oh no!" Usagi yelled. "A burglar broke in and kidnapped Michiru-san!" She started crying.

"I don't think it was a burglar. I think it was more than one," Ami said, looking at what remained of the door. "See, this is a reinforced door. I don't think one person alone could break this down."

"Let's go inside," they all said simultaneously, and they walked in.

Rei closed her eyes and began to chant in the living room.

"Someone evil has been here." She looked down and grabbed a piece of fabric. "See? There's a black star here."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Minako asked curiously.

Rei sighed. "You know, for the leader of the team, you sure don't notice a lot of details... all of the Daimons we've fought have had black stars on them. The enemy has obviously been here."

"Here! Let me see that fabric," Ami said, holding a hand out to take it. With her other hand, she pulled the Mercury Computer from nowhere. "This was sold to one Arimura Yuko, who lives... in the dormitories of the school Mugen Gakuen!" She looked up urgently. "We should investigate!"


Professor Tomoe was surprised that Michiru hadn't been the first to collapse into a sobbing heap. Maybe there was more to the girl than met the eye.

Everyone: You are now scarred for life by the thought of violin-Daimon Haruka and porn-Daimon Michiru getting it on.

Mantaray: You're welcome! I had some extra time on my hands, so I figured, "why not?"

WindChaser001: I'll go get the smelling salts! Hold on!

James Birdsong: Thanks!

Petiyaka: Michiru wasn't convinced until Haruka started.
