I will follow you into the dark

"What? Who are you?" Ami demanded as she detached herself from an overjoyed Ayako. She looked at the girl property and saw she was filthy and obviously underfed.

The youth felt three pairs of eyes staring at her sad state, she blushed and slightly cowered away from them "I'm sorry! You must think I'm crazy! Excuse me for barging in so rudely!" she apologized a little too intensely.

"That's alright, come here" Rei said warmly as she gently pulled Ayako from her corner and sat her down on the couch "You must be starving, I'll get you something to eat. Would you like to take a bath?" the miko asked giving Ami a scornful stare.

"Yes please! I mean...if it isn't a problem..." the artist said embarrassed.

"Come with me, I'll get you some clean clothes" Rei said pulling the younger girl up and leading her away into the bathroom.

"Looks like Mako-chan found you" Haruka said sounding happier than she had in days.

"How? How could she find me? We should've interrogated her before she became our guest. It could be a trap" Ami said bitterly.

"You're unbelievable, I can't believe we finally have some news on Mako-chan and still you can't be happy" - Rei said as she entered the room - "It's clear the poor girl traveled a long way to get here! We can't treat her like garbage especially if she knows where Mako-chan is!".

"You're right. I'm sorry" the genius said red from embarrassment.

"Now we just have to wait for this girl to feel better before we get any information from her" Haruka said as she got up hastily filled with a sudden burst of energy.

The other two girls nodded and sat anxiously waiting for Ayako to finish her bath. The young girl took longer than expected but it wasn't surprising since it was clear she was exhausted and needed to relax. By the time she did come out of the bathroom, clean and dressed with decent clothes, Rei had prepared for her a warm soup and a large sandwich accompanied by a cup of steaming tea. Ayako wolfed down the food completely ignoring the three girls staring at her, it was incredible to watch someone eat so desperately. When she was finally done and happily fed, Ayako thanked the miko and began her story.

The young artist explained to the three expectant girls how she had met Makoto; the train, the 2 week isolation, the barracks and ultimately how the brunette was given shots and had gotten sick. She explained what had happened the last time she saw Makoto and was very specific of how the brunette had transformed.

The room fell silent the moment Ayako uttered her last sentence. The youth looked at Ami who had tears falling from her eyes as she covered her mouth in shock. Taking a deep breath, Ayako pulled out a very dirty and shriveled piece of paper out and handed it to the genius who was now sobbing.

"She described you almost everyday. It didn't take long to get the drawing right" Ayako said trying sound a little cheerful.

Ami stared at the smudged yet distinguishable portrait drawing of herself. She made a strange noise and then smiled.

"You're a very good person. Thank you so much" Rei said kindly as she placed her hand warmly on the stranger's knee.

"No! No! Not me! Mako-chan saved my life, I couldn't not come! Ami-chan, all of you, please help her!" Ayako demanded urgently making even Haruka jump.

"Alright, settle down! We're going to save her! But we need to think this through, we can't just barge into the camp" the miko said, looking around anxiously.

Haruka paced around holding her chin in thought "Can't get in from the sky...obviously not from the ground...we could use force but we'd need Usagi and the other two..." -she grumbled ignoring the fact that Ayako was sitting right there -"I'll go find Bunny while you two..."

"No." came Ami's calm yet severe voice.

"No? No what? We need Usagi here with us"

"No one is going anywhere, it's too dangerous to go looking for her and you two need to take care of Minako and Michiru"

"What! Listen, we're going to get them better while Haruka-chan finds Usagi. It's the best plan we've got. Or do you have a better one?" Rei challenged.

"Yes. I'm leaving. I'm going to go get her" Ami responded decisively as she swiftly got up and ran into her room.

"No you're not! Ami-chan get back here!" the miko shouted, chasing her into the room.


The smell of burnt flesh and dried blood awakened Makoto's senses. Slowly and steadily her brain sent pain filled signals to every part of her body as she groaned and twitched. She tried to open her eyes but only barely was able to see a slit through her left one. It didn't take long for the brunette to realize she was back in the barracks laying on one of the moldy and foul smelling bunks. She tried to move but the muscles in her body were practically limp. In an act of desperation, Makoto twisted herself to her side in agony and shouted for Ayako. From her half opened eye she could make out the silhouette of people moving away from her in fear but curiously one stood her ground and made her way over. In a moment of confusion and relief, the brunette actually thought it was her artist friend.

"Shut up! Shut up!" the person scram as she reached Makoto and gave her a swift kick to the side - "Do you want to get us killed! You've done enough already!"

The brunette wheezed trying to catch her breath, she held her hand out pleading for mercy and looked up at a very bruised and very angry woman "Ayako?" she whispered stupidly.

"Stop saying that name! Listen to me, if you go crazy again we're prepared for it! We'll kill you! Now stay in that bed and keep to yourself" - the woman kneeled down and was inches away from Makoto's face; she also could only see through one eye, the other was practically gone - "We don't want anymore devil business here, do you understand?" she whispered menacingly.

The brunette said nothing and watched as the eyeless woman nodded and walked away. The room was almost empty and the only women in it were all huddled at the other end. They too were bruised and beaten, some could barely stand and had to be helped by others. Where there used to be a "stove" was now a heap of bloodied sheets and clothes burning by a very weak fire. It was freezing but Makoto only knew this because the windows were ice-capped and the other people in the room were red in the nose and shivering; her body felt like it was on fire.

Her memories were just as burned as her wounds but still Makoto worried deeply about Ayako and if she was safe, though she didn't even remember her friend had escaped. She did however recall the only thing in that awful place that made her feel happy and safe; with great difficulty she reached under her cot in search of Ami's portrait but...it was no longer there.


"What good will it do if you leave? You'll end up like Makoto and what about Minako and Michiru? Huh? If you go, you'll only make things worse!" Rei shouted as she trailed behind Ami who was grabbing her things which were discarded throughout the temple. The two bickering girl's didn't even notice Haruka had left the living room and that Ayako sat uncomfortably listening to them,

"We need to do this right!" the miko insisted red in the face.

Ami finally stopped and faced the screaming girl behind her "What if it was Minako? I'm tired of sitting around waiting for something to happen! This is it! I'm not waiting another second to save Mako-chan! Don't you understand that!"

"Of coarse I do! I know how you feel but..."

"No you don't! It's my turn to do what I want!"

"Ay...Ayako..." Rei said momentarily forgetting the youth's name and looking at her -"Please tell Ami-chan it's insane to go there! They'll kill her! Tell her!" she urged.

The artist was speechless and could barely look at either girl. She bit her lip and sighed "I can't get in the middle of this, it's not my decision" she stated, defeated.

"Mako-chan saved your life! You've talked with her, you know what she would want!" the miko protested.

"I do. Mako-chan only wanted for Ami-chan to know she was okay. But...I think she needs to go find her" Ayako said quietly to Rei's amazed and furious face.

"Thank you Ayako, for your honesty" the genius said before returning to her packing.

In the distance sirens and screams could be heard as usual, which frightened Ayako. It was strange when she watched Rei walk away so casually and no one panicking. Filled with curiosity, the youth got up and walked a few paces into the kitchen and then into the next hall where Ami had just gone. She heard the blue haired girl whispering to someone in a room with the door open and in without thinking took a peek inside. Ayako was shocked to find two very sick girls lying in bed while Ami whispered to the blonde one and than gave her a kiss on the forehead. The artist jumped back and almost fell over as she ran back to her place on the coach and sat nervously waiting for someone to come back. She had considered spending a night there but realized the situation was awkward and unfitting. Thankfully the genius returned shortly and it was apparent she hadn't noticed anything.

"You should probably spend some time here, it's very dangerous out there"

"No, I should leave" the youth said quickly.

Ami chuckled tiredly "Don't mind Rei-chan, she'll be more than happy to have you here. It's me she hates" she assured kindly.

"It's not that...I need to leave, they're looking for me and the longer I stay the worse it'll be...but thank you Ami-chan"

"No, thank you" Ami said giving Ayako a very emotional hug, tears falling from her eyes.

"I hope you find her, please find her" Ayako whispered returning the hug.

"I will. I promise. Where will you go?" the genius asked unabashedly letting the tears fall as she stared at the girl in front of her.

"China, probably. I'm hoping they'll take me as a political refugee" the young girl chuckled.

"In that case, if they don't well then..here" Ami said handing her a bag filled with clothes and other things as well as a heap of rolled up money.

Ayako looked at the items in her hand and then back up at the girl in front of her "No..I can't..." she protested embarrassed.

The blue haired girl smiled and gently placed her hand on Ayako's red cheek "I wasn't going anywhere with them, they were for you. Besides, where I'm going I won't need them" she assured.

"Thank you...so much..."

"You've just saved my life, don't thank me. Now get going before Rei comes back and straps you to a chair" Ami said urging the thankful girl towards the door where they stood and gave each other another long hug.

"Good luck" said Ami.

"Good luck to you too, I hope you find her...she really loves you" Ayako said before turning and leaving into the dark night. Ami stood there watching and thinking about Makoto's love and how much she loved her back. Unfortunately her moment was broken by Rei shouting and Haruka ignoring her as they approached.

"...and Michiru? We need Ami-chan! She knows best! We don't!" the miko complained as it was obvious she was terrified and heart broken.

Haruka sighed "I agree Ami-chan does know more than we do but she has to go do...what she thinks is best. We'll manage without her" she said giving the genius a small wink.

"But..but...what about Minako and Michiru? The medicine! Where will we..."

"Don't worry about it" - the tall blonde interrupted - "...I know where we can get some, I've got a person. I just have to go get it at the hospital. It's settled" she said firmly.

"No...Haruka-san..it's too dangerous..." Ami said nervously.

Haruka frowned "I don't care" she replied turning away.


"...at the count of three we grab her and throw her outside, get ready to barracked the door..."

"...what if she goes crazy again?..."

"...that's what the guns are for! Now get ready...one...two...three!"

Makoto was awakened from a blackened dream by the fierce tug of a dozen hands grabbing her and heaving her off the cot and along the short distance to the door of the barracks where two women were standing holding guns and anxiously looking at her. She didn't understand what was going on as the people holding her reached the door and flung her as far as they could out into the cold avenue of the camp. With a loud thump she fell onto the muddied snow and could only react to the sound of the door closing and the sound of bunks being scraped against the floor. Feeling a sense of alarm, Makoto weakly dragged her body towards the barracks and tried to push the entrance open, it was pathetic how she thumped on the rotted wood. Any other day she could've torn down the door even with ten bunks against it but that day she was useless. Feeling to tired to scream or continue her efforts, she laid in the freezing snow and fought hard to remember or understand what was going on. The black noise in her head was much too strong.

"Aren't you cold?" came a strange voice.

Makoto heard the voice but couldn't really catch on so she merely nodded. Above her eyes she noticed a dim green light and heard the soft sound of fabric against snow as someone approached her.

"Aren't you cold? It's very cold out here. Would you like to have some tea? It'll warm you up" said a beautiful woman as she looked down at the brunette's disastrous figure. The broken girl nodded as she smiled stupidly at the woman who smiled back.

"Come here, I'll help you up" said Empress Matsuyama kindly as she motioned her hand and lifted Makoto up magically - "That's wasn't very nice of your friends to leave you out in the cold like this" - she manipulated. The two women, both floating, passed along the depressing avenue of the camp passing the quiet buildings and the dim light aligning them.

"What's your name?" the beautiful woman asked pleasantly.

The brunette could hardly think but she tried "Mmm...Ayako...no...Makoto...no...Ami-chan?" she answered doubtfully.

"Ami-chan?" - Matsuyama said excited - "Really? Nice to meet you Ami-chan. My name is Usagi-chan. Where are you from?" she asked politely with a frightening grin on her face.

"Mmm...Korea..." Makoto answered sounding completely confused.

"That's...very nice....well, we're here" the Empress responded bitterly as they arrived to very tall and thin building with nothing but a white door on it.

"This...where...we're here?" the brunette asked slowly looking behind her only to see the camp far away.

"Yes, yes. Please come in for tea, I have guests" Matsuyama said impatiently sending her prisoner towards the door which opened instantly.

Makoto's dream like state of darkness turned into a sparkling room filled with light and wonderful colors of silver and white. She stood in front of an enormous ball room that shun and glittered with elegance and beauty. Around her, people in gowns and tuxedoes chatted and danced smiling and laughing, some wore masks and capes and others sat watching them happily. As always the Moon Palace was the place to be, especially being a princess.

Makoto took a step and was instantly surrounded by people taking her hand and kissing it. She bowed and was as always polite. She wondered around looking for a familiar face and spotted the Princess of Mars and Princess of Venus in the corner talking with wide smiles and glowing eyes. Their postures were righteous and correct but on the table next to them their hands were clenched together only hidden by their large gowns. The brunette watched as a young man approached Mars and extended his hand to dance. The raven haired girl protested but Venus pushed her into his arms and laughed as Mars strolled away furious. When the blonde princess had recovered from laughing, she waved to Makoto and tilted her head towards someone.

There, in the middle of the ballroom and surrounded by people, stood Princess Mercury smiling and red in the cheeks. Her eyes and Makoto's met and without thought they both glided towards each other until their hands met.

"I've been waiting for you" Makoto said ignoring the staring all around them.

"Me too. Would you like to dance?" Mercury asked slightly raising her hand to the taller girl's shoulder.

"I'd rather kiss you" Makoto whispered into the smaller girl's ear.

"I know. That's why we need to dance" Mercury said taking the taller girl and gently swaying her across the room subtly away from the nosey spectators. They danced past Mars who was still with her gentleman and grinned at her with chuckles. The people still stared at the two girl couple and Makoto was feeling very doubtful about being able to kiss her love.

"Ami-chan, we'll never be able to...kiss...with everyone watching us" the brunette said downhearted.

"Wait a moment, in a second..." Mercury said smiling as she watched the main stairs of the ballroom. In an instant the lights in the room went out and everyone was quiet.

"Come on, let's go!" the blue haired princess urged as she pulled Makoto into the balcony just next to them. The moment they stepped outside a booming light had been turned on inside.

"...ladies and gentlemen...Queen Serenity and Princess..."

"They won't even notice we're gone" Mercury said holding the taller girl's hands in hers again. They were both standing on the balcony directly against the light of the earth and above the sparkling gardens of the palace.

"I would have kissed you anyway, even with all those people looking at us" Makoto lied.

Mercury grinned and placed her hand on the brunette's cheek "You're lying. But I know you love me and that's all that matters" she said rubbing the girl's strong jaw.

Makoto took hold of the smaller girl's thin thigh and gently pulled her close "I do. I love you. Forever" she whispered before slowly pulling Mercury against her and giving her a loving kiss.....

"WHY CAN'T I SEE WHAT SHE'S SEEING!" Matsuyama shouted filled with rage as she watched her prisoner kiss an invisible person. For the past hour she watched as Makoto talked and watched people, thumped and banged herself against the walls of the small room and then kiss someone not there. The brunette smiled and brightened even though as she danced her legs could barely move and she constantly fell to the ground as her body banged into solid concrete. It was a sad scene except the Empress was only interested in the memories and not her drunkard like behavior.

"She's not weak enough, that must be it. Her friends must be coming after her, in the meantime...I'll keep weighing her down..." the woman said determined as she looked angrily at Makoto who was still kissing the invisible person.


"I'm going to my house to get the things my mother left. Here are the instructions and the dosage and when they have to take the medicine and please...Haruka-chan, please be careful and when you use them please be pragmatic" Ami pleaded to the much taller girl who nodded.

"You're going to get killed" Rei groaned from the corner of the room.

"Please don't think that way, I promise I'll come back. We both will" the genius said giving the angry girl a tight hug which was eventually returned.

"I'll see you later...good luck!" the miko cried trying to sound strong.

"I will see you later...both of you...take good care of them" Ami said nodding to Haruka who nodded warmly back.

With one last look, the blue haired girl transformed into Sailor Mercury and jumped out and across the temple towards the sound filled streets. She stealthily jumped across rooftops and alleyways like she had before. As she flew across the city above, the ground below was on fire. Almost every five blocks there were riots consisting of hundreds of people throwing firebombs and shards of glass at heavily armed and protected policemen who in turn threw gas bombs at them and occasionally attacked the mob with nightsticks. Cars and shops burned or were looted by the crazed citizens of Tokyo. She was conscious and scared of the situation but Mercury was set out to find the person most important to her so with a cold heart and closed eyes she continued her journey to her very secured apartment building. She de-transformed and walked through the doors calmly like it was any other day.

"I'm sorry Miss this is restricted to residents only" said a man to Ami as she walked through the door.

"I live here. My name is Saeko Mizuno. I live here" the blue haired girl answered importantly.

The policeman checked his list and ID scans, he looked at Ami's impatient face and defeated let her in. She scoffed and scurried away into the elevator. Once inside she made a mental list of everything she needed. When she reached her apartment she hastily opened it and ran inside to find the papers her mother had left her. Everything was in order for her to impersonate except for the way she dressed. As quickly as she could, Ami put on a power suit, some very uncomfortable heels and some eyeglasses which made her dizzy. After, she drank about four glasses of juice and as much vitamins as she could and ran back downstairs.

"Be careful , it's almost curfew" the policemen warned as Ami ran past him indifferently.

The blue haired girl didn't even bother transforming since she was determined to get caught. Around her neighborhood it was calm and no riots or "lawbreaking" was taking place. She wondered around anxiously and filled with adrenaline just to find a policeman to take her away but no one was in sight. Determine, Ami ran as fast as she could to the park where she last saw Makoto. Like the last time, it was alone and silent. The second she almost left to the damned riots a sound filled her heart with terrifying joy.

"...there's no one going to be here, she's gone..."

"...they sent us here and that's where we have to be. anyways...I'd like to see that bitch or any of her friends come around here...I'd give her a beating..."

"...you idiot! she gave you a beating! don't be so stupid..."

"...yeah, well...hey! did you hear that?..."

Ami's heart jumped when she heard and spotted the men who had taken Makoto away. She felt a hammer bang against her chest and her ears ring from the dizziness of what she was about to do. As the two men approached she quickly and nervously made a lame hole and placed her pen there, barely with time to cover it up and stand calmly in front of the two officers who immediately lit a flashlight in her face.

"It's past curfew. What are you doing here?" one of them asked.

Ami strangely lifted her collar and nose "I was taking a walk. What is wrong with that?" she said almost sounding perfectly pedantically except for her shaking hands and sweat filled forehead.

The other policeman, the one most humiliated by Makoto, walked over to her and began touching her and trying to "look" for a weapon.

"This is not appropriate! Get your hands off me!" the genius cried still sounding very nervous and unconfident.

"Do you have an ID Miss?" the other man asked completely ignoring her cries.

The humiliated officer let go of her and smiled lustfully "She's clear" he said giggling.

"I have papers. I'm a doctor" Ami said as she fumbled with her bag and dropped the papers in her anxious state. When she bent down to get them the two men whispered between themselves and laughed. Though she felt ready to vomit, Ami grabbed the papers and swiftly gave them to the closest man who looked at them closely and then towards her.

"You look very young for your age" one of the officers said.

The blue haired girl dropped her jaw indignantly though it trembled "I...I'm very careful about my body...and..." - she hated saying this but at that time it didn't matter -"I also have many colleagues who...work wonders in plastic surgery" she managed to say trying to hold a straight face.

"Well..it looks like they're very good" - the humiliated one giggled -"but we'll still need to take you to the police station. You've violated curfew and who haven't got a proper government regulated ID" he said between snorts and chuckles.

"Police station? What kind of police station?" Ami asked desperately hoping to be taken to where Makoto was.

"It's a new one, come on now" said the officer as he pulled her away.

Feeling too much energy and anger in her, Ami made sure she was taken away to an awful place by giving the officer the hardest punch she could in the worst place a man could take it.


"It's almost time, I have to go" Haruka said as she grabbed her jacket and put it on.

Rei and her had been sitting the in the living room for hours after Ami had left, both hearing the animal like heaving in the room where their two loves were sick and getting worse. The terrible moment of giving them the last few shots was approaching and Haruka's sudden announcement was overbearing.

"Almost time for what? Leaving where?" the miko asked aggressively.

The tall girl zipped up her jacket "To get the medicine, what else?" she answered annoyed. She looked out the window and saw a blizzard roaring outside, unfazed she just zipped her jacket up to her neck.

"Fine...go..." Rei said defeated, she understood they needed it and without Ami it was their best shot - "Please, be careful, we ALL need you" - she said trying to smile.

Haruka smiled a little bitterly as she put her helmet over her arm and headed calmly into the room where the two sick girls were. Michiru was a twisting and beginning to growl, her skin was turning black and the sign of Neptune was burning on her forehead. The tall blonde still smiled and gave her sickly girlfriend a soft kiss on the lips.

"I'll come back and we'll go visit India, like you've always wanted. I love you Michiru" Haruka said holding her lover's pale cheek. She walked over to Minako's bed where the girl was just as sick and held her hand "Rei-chan loves you, no matter what happens". With that the tall girl walked out of the room and out of the temple before putting on her helmet and jumping onto her bike.

The moment Haruka started her engine she was flying through the streets avoiding police cars too lazy to follow her crazed speed and maneuvers. The streets were empty for a couple of blocks before she realized something severe was happening a couple of blocks away from her. She met with the same riots and policemen as Ami had, the fire was burning the entire block. She was on the side of the rioters flaming up the place. Haruka took a deep breath and charged at the hundreds of people in front of her, they heard the noise and moved away surprised as she collided against them, she had managed to make them calm for seconds.

Determined, the blonde continued through the burning and smoke filled area between the rioters and policemen who did nothing but watch the maniac on the motorcycle passing through them. It was so incredible, that even the swat team stepped aside to let her pass. Haruka grinned when she heard the riot continue the moment she was far away; she looked behind and smirked. When her head turned she didn't notice a firebomb flying straight at her. She turned and avoided it but hadn't realized the riots continued on the next block. Without control or power to stop, she swerved to avoid a police blockade and crashed into the wall of a building.


"This is useless, take her away" the Empress said to the two confused guards who looked at Makoto talking alone on the floor. The brunette had long ago ended her memory but she still clung onto it. The uniformed man and woman walked into the tall but small room and grabbed the hallucinating girl. She was taken outside and dragged along the snow and back into the camp where they dumped her back into the sick ward. Makoto was then taken to a room where doctors and nurses attended to her instantly due to her wounds and sickened state of mind.

"Give her the 2408 and make sure she doesn't get any sleep" Matsuyama said suddenly appearing in the room.

"But...but...that will kill her! Wouldn't you rather have a soldier take her outside and..." a doctor said frightened but in some perspective humanly.

The Empress shook her head "No. She won't die. Do as I say" she said strictly and a little offended.

"Yes Empress Matsuyama" the doctor responded bowing his head.

The beautiful woman smiled devishly "Good. And please, have her on leashes. We know what she did last time" she ordered trying to sound friendly.

The people in the room nodded and smiled uncomfortably before quickly putting at least ten straps around Makoto's body.


Rei could feel acid burn her nerves as she paced around the temple, sensing something was wrong. She was very strong and independent but the pressure was too much. She knew the moment to inject the girls was coming but it was something terrible to watch. Her heart was thumping in her throat until she heard the worse sound possible. Footsteps and growls were headed her way from the dimly lit hall of the temple. The miko quickly grabbed the last injections she had and was ready for anything. Her breathing was difficult and strained but she held her ground.

From the shadows came two silhouettes groaning and stumbling against each other, they both pushed to get to their prey first. Rei took her last long breath and grabbed the needles desperately towards them, every second she eyed her transformation pen next to her on the counter. They were stumbling so slow that the miko made the first move and launched herself at them. Strangely enough they didn't attack her but attacked each other with bites and scratches. Feeling completely confused, Rei back away and grabbed her pen.

"MARS STAR PO...."

In an instant the two sick girl pounced on the miko and tried to bite at her as she pushed and fought them away. They managed to get some scratches in but Rei fought hard against them as she tried to reach her pen that had been discarded far away. In a moment of instinct and adrenaline, the miko kicked Michiru so hard in the face that she flew back into the hall and laid limp, barely breathing. Minako was distracted momentarily by this but was quick to recover and attack Rei again. The miko was useless to try and hurt her love, though she tried to push her back the crazed girl moved closer and closer to her neck. Rei gave a shout and grabbed the blonde's neck as tightly as she could, Minako fought back but for some reason couldn't match. The black haired girl grabbed her unto she was on top, tears in her eyes, she watched as her lover turned blue from the lack of oxygen. Rei wanted to stop but the fact that Minako kept trying to take a swing at her made it hard to calm herself. The miko's hands tightened as the girl under her stopped flailing and began to die. Before such a thing happened a loud noise sounded followed by the wicked wind from outside.

"Stop! MOON HEALING ESCALATION!"


"...let's kill her! no one will find out!" cried the humiliated officer as he rode with his partner and Ami in a police car.

"No! Anyone we find in the park goes to the station" the other policemen said embarrassed.

The humiliated one turned to look at Ami angrily "I'm going to make sure you don't get out alive! Do you hear me!" he scram still holding his damaged part.

Ami, unable to feel her hands, nodded "Fine. Do what you'd like" she responded importantly though they had beaten her and she could barely feel her limbs.

"You're going away, I promise!" the offended officer insisted.

"We're here, be quiet, both of you!" the other officer said as they stopped and hastily pulled Ami out and into the previous building Makoto had been in when she was taken away.

The papers must have worked because the officer's were much nicer and professional than they had been with the brunette. Sure, they beat Ami and treated her like an animal but it was a little bit better. She was taken into the same interrogation room and asked the same stupid questions. Though she looked so much younger, Ami had the same silly excuse for it. Thankfully it was a man interrogator and a woman standing there with him; maybe it was probably worse since she was quick to hit the blue haired girl when she felt it was "appropriate". After hours of questions which Ami intelligently answered, they sent her to a cell, the same cell as Makoto.

Excited and scared, the genius sat in the filthy room filled with people. Her heart and lungs felt like they were failing but the thought of seeing Makoto and doing whatever it took for her was a sudden rush she had never felt before. The woman and children around Ami were hurt and sick and she tried to help but her mind was somewhere else. She didn't sleep and hardly took a bite out of the food offered to her for her services. For the first time in her life, the genius wasn't shy and awkward; she talked to the other women and gave them the hope she had. The entire night passed and finally an officer, at 6:00, rattled her nightstick against the bars of the cell and cried "Ladies! Let's go! We're leaving! Form a straight line and follow me to the train!".

Ami trailed behind the women and children leaving the building, before she could even cross the bars, she heard something that was frighteningly unexpected.

"Saeko Mizuno! Prisoner 1208K! You are assigned to a different wagon! Reach your nearest patrol officer!".
