Three weeks. Aurora thought as she sat at the dinning table playing with her food. It had been three weeks since she had stopped fighting. It killed her to see her friends fighting without her but they assured her that they were alright.
She hated this. Just sitting around not knowing what was going on. She looked across the table to where Seiya was sitting just moments ago, his dinner half eaten. Aurora had made dinner for her and Seiya when the others called. Since they were the closest Seiya rushed out to help. Normally he would stay behind with Aurora but tonight he couldn't.
Aurora picked up the two plates. She scrapped the remaining food into the bin. She knew it was wasteful but at the moment she didn't care. She was so angry that Seiya and the others wouldn't let her fight that. She decided to just go to bed. She knew that Seiya would probably come back later but she didn't want to see him. She didn't want to see anyone.
She went and changed into her PJ's and climbed into bed. She couldn't get to sleep. She kept thinking about her friends. Did they really think she was so weak that she couldn't protect herself? Wasn't she the one ho destroyed Demona? True that she had no control and no idea what she was doing but still, if the time came for it, couldn't she do the same thing again?
Aurora sighed and rolled over trying to get to sleep. Of course since she was so worked up she just couldn't fall asleep. She then heard scratching at her bedroom window. Aurora got up, pulled her curtain back to reveal Luna sitting on the other side of the glass.
"Luna?" Aurora opened the window, wondering why she was here…and how she got outside her window since she lived on the tenth floor.
"How did you get all the way up here?" Aurora asked as she watched Luna hop up on her bed.
"I climbed." Luna replied simply. Aurora doubted that she did but didn't press the matter.
"I came to see you." Luna said.
"Why?" Aurora asked as she sat on the bed beside her.
"Because I was worried about you. We all are. I know it must be hard for you to see all your friends fight-"
"You're damn right it's hard!" Aurora said cutting Luna off.
"Please understand, we only want to protect you." Luna pleaded to Aurora.
Aurora climbed back into her bed and pulled the overs over herself.
"I can protect myself." Aurora mumbled.
Seiya had given up knocking. It seemed that Aurora just wasn't going to answer. He walked into the elevator. When the door closed he slammed his fist against the door in frustration. He didn't want to leave Aurora tonight…but when Yaten called for help he couldn't ignore him.
Seiya sighed and lent his head back against the wall. He knew it was hard to Aurora not to fight. She was a Soldier, it was just apart of who she was. Seiya decided he would let Aurora calm down and call her tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day.
Serena and Darien both walked into their apartment with a few new cuts and scrapes. Even though the enemy was getting a little easier to beat, it still wasn't a walk in the park. But the injuries weren't what was bothering Serena.
Serena was concerned about Aurora. Seiya had told her that he had been with Aurora before he came to help fight. He said she wasn't being her usual happy self. Serena knew how Aurora felt.
"I'll make us some tea." Darien said noticing the pained look on Serena's face. He knew what she was thinking.
Serena plopped herself down on the couch. A few minutes later Darien sat a hot cup of tea in front of her and sat beside her.
"I'm really worried about her." Serena said looking up at Darien.
"It's hard for her. She knows it's for her own safety that she doesn't fight but deep down she wants nothing more than to fight along side everyone."
"I want to keep her safe but not if it means sacrificing her own happiness." Serena said as she picked up her cup of tea and lent into Darien.
"Maybe she should fight again." Darien suggested.
Serena looked up at him with wide eyes. "But it's too dangerous."
"Think about it, if you were in her position, wouldn't you rather fight with your friends or sit on the sidelines?" Darien asked.
Serena thought a moment. Darien was right. She wouldn't care how dangerous it was as long as she could help her friends.
"You're right." Serena said with a smile and kissed Darien. "I think I'll call her tomorrow."
Aurora looked at the 20 missed calls on her cell phone. At the moment, she just didn't want to talk to anyone. She was sitting at her desk at work trying to finish up some stencils.
On her desk were a pile of message scribbled down by the receptionist, all of them from the Three Lights and Serena asking her to call them. Her phone started to ring again and once again, she ignored it. She would have turned her cell off but she couldn't in case a client rang.
Aurora looked up at the clock. It read 3.30pm. Aurora yawned.
"Is this day ever going to end?" She said to herself. She decided that she'd go for a little walk to try and wake herself up.
She had only made it a few metres away from her office when she could hear screaming. Her instincts kicked in and she ran towards the source. Aurora turned a corner to see Drusilla with several people backed into a corner.
Aurora had no time to waste. She quickly ducked into the stair well that was right next to her. She felt for sure no one would see her in there.
"Sun Crystal Power!"
"You can't get away from me that easily!" Anaya yelled to the terrified woman that just went through the door in front of her.
Anaya followed her through the door and found herself in a stair well. She looked down the stairs and saw no one. Anaya proceeded to ran up the stairs hoping to catch the woman.
"No one is getting out of here." Anaya said to herself. Time was running out and they still didn't have the Sun Stone. Sailor Sun had not shown her self for nearly a month and they were running out of ideas…and time.
Anaya was running further and further up the stairs and still no sign of the woman.
"Damn it! Don't tell me that wretched human gave me the slip!"
She then saw someone. It wasn't the woman she was chasing before.
"But she'll do." Anaya said aloud. But what the young woman did caused Anaya to stop dead in her tracks.
"Sun Crystal Power!"
Anaya watched in amazement as the woman in front of her changed into the very woman they had been hunting for. Before Anaya could act, Sailor Sun had disappeared through the door.
"Impossible! That little girl is Sailor Sun." Anaya followed Sailor Sun through the door.
"Well, I guess this answers my question. None of these women are Sailor Sun." Drusilla said as she cast aside the woman she had been holding up by the neck.
"Get away from them!"
Drusilla turned around and grinned when she saw it was Sailor Sun that had yelled out.
"So finally you show yourself. What's wrong, have you been hiding?" Drusilla said as she approached Sailor Sun.
Sailor Sun pointed her staff at Drusilla making her stop in her tracks.
"I've been busy. I've needed someone to take my frustration out on and it looks like you're it. I've had enough of you terrorising innocent people. Welcome to the end of your life, and I promise it's going to hurt." Sailor Sun said. Without giving Drusilla time to react, Sailor Sun appeared beside Drusilla, holding the sun staff up in front of her.
"Golden Burning Star Blast!"
Sailor Sun's attack sent Drusilla flying backward and out the window. Sailor Sun ran to the broken window and looked down. They were on the sixth floor so it was a bit of drop down.
Sailor Sun had a feeling that Drusilla survived the fall. She jumped out the window and landed on her feet. Drusilla was struggling to get up. She looked up at Sailor Sun with contempt.
"This…isn't over…yet." Drusilla tried to gather enough energy to fire a blast at Sailor Sun and steal her Sun Stone.
"For you, it is." Sailor Sun said as she spun her sun staff.
"Golden Sun Crystal-"
"No!" Drusilla screamed as she fired her attack…but it didn't stop Sailor Sun…or her attack.
"-Burning Light!" Sailor Sun launched an almighty attack which disintegrated Drusilla.
Sailor Sun sighed with relief that she destroyed Drusilla.
"And all on my own." She said to herself proudly.
She was unaware that Anaya had watched the whole thing. Anaya looked down from the broken window at Sailor Sun.
"So the holder of the Sun Stone…is her." Anaya said as she looked up from Sailor Sun to the ID card in front of her. It was Aurora's work ID.
"Aurora Sharp."
Aurora stepped out of the elevator of her apartment building, carrying her high heels. She was so tired since she didn't get much sleep last night. Also jumping out the window on the sixth floor of her office building wasn't so good now that she had de-transformed.
"Note to self, never do that again."
"Do what?" A voice said.
Aurora looked up to Seiya leaning up against her apartment door. Seiya gave a small smile.
"Hard day?" He asked. Aurora gave a little laugh.
"You have no idea."
Seiya walked over to Aurora and gave her a hug.
"I'm sorry about last night." He said.
"So am I." Aurora said. They both let go of each other.
"How about I make you a cup of tea?" Seiya asked as he put his arm around Aurora's waist and led her to her door.
"Coffee. I need caffeine." Aurora said as she unlocked her door. Aurora flopped on the couch while Seiya went into her kitchen and made her a cup of coffee.
"Here." He handed the coffee to Aurora.
"Thanks."
"So what happened? You only ever walk in carrying your shoes if it's been a real hard day." Seiya said.
Aurora sat staring at her coffee. She knew the minute she said that her office was attacked Seiya would flip out. She took a deep breath.
"Drusilla attacked my work today." Aurora said.
"WHAT?" Seiya jumped up from the couch.
"Calm down. I'm fine."
"What happened?" Seiya said sitting back down.
"Well, I sort of knocked her out the window…and destroyed her." Aurora said.
"All on your own?" Seiya asked sounding a little bewildered.
"Yeah." Aurora answered.
Seiya just stared at Aurora for a minute. Aurora was shocked when Seiya pulled her into a kiss.
"I'm just glad you're alright." Seiya said with a smile.
"I'm just glad you're not freaking out." Aurora replied.
"Morpheas, I have news." Anaya said when she appeared back at the Soul Stealers lair.
"If you're here to tell me that Drusilla is dead, don't bother. I already know." Morpheas sneered.
Anaya smiled. "No. My news is much better than that."
"What, you figured out how to stop failing?" A high pitched voice said from the darkness. Anaya spun round and glared at the woman at the woman standing behind her.
"Shut up Titanie!" Anaya spat.
"No need to get like that. Just because all you do is fail." Another voice said.
Anaya turned to face another woman.
"I haven't seen you doing any work, Zantha."
"Enough, all of you!" Morpheas yelled. He looked at Anaya. "What news do you have?"
"I know who Sailor Sun is." Anaya said proudly.
"Really? Who is she?" Morpheas said with interest.
"A young woman named Aurora Sharp." Anaya replied.
"Well, you know what to do." Morpheas said as he walked off.
Anaya gave a slight bow. "Of course."
"You think you can handle something this important with out screwing it up?" Zantha asked.
"At least I've accomplished something unlike you two." Anaya said as she walked off.
Titanie walked over and stood next to Zantha as they both watched Anaya walk off.
"I don't think we should let her get all the credit." Titanie said.
"I agree. Maybe we should pay a visit to this girl." Zantha replied.
