Another Senshi

Chapter 24

" Okay. Any clues on Diamond?" Serena asked in the middle of their senshi meeting.

" I studied the sword that Hotaru, Emma, Meggie, Kyo and Rini brought in. There was nothing substantial to why Prince Diamond is here, and how he is even alive." Ami said.

" We don't know anything about him." Lita said. " We've searched everything we ever had on him, but nothing is even comparable to what happened then to what is happening now."

" What about that Akusin guy?" Darien.

" Nothing. He just came right out of no where." Mina said. " There is no trace of where he is or what he is."

" We are getting no where with this." Serena said. " Meggie...do you have any idea why he is after you?"

" Not a clue." Meggie said. " But knowing all bad guys, eventually he'll slip and let out his big secret plan."

" But we can't wait until eventually comes." Rini said. " He could kill us before that happens."

" All we know is for him, Meggie is his main target." Trista added. " But, Diamond has to be working for someone if he has access to shape shifters. He was smart. But not smart enough to come up with a whole new race. Or to even find one."

" Yeah." Rei said. " Last time it was all his buddies from the negamoon."

" How did he supposedly die anyway?" Emma asked.

" Serena turned his heart and he took a fatal blast from Wise man. He died a good man." Ami said. " But we don't know how he came back or why he's evil again."

" That's another clue that he's working for someone." Gabriella piped in. " Someone could have been strong enough to bring him back to life. And centering the evil part of his soul that was still there."

" That is a possibility." Luna said.

" But who is he working for?" Artemis asked.

" That is our next goal of information." Serena said. " Do everything you can to find out who he is working for. And if you do, call an emergency senshi meeting. We don't have a huge amount of time to crack this code."

" Right." Amara said. " We have to work non stop."

" I think we also have to assign patrols." Luna said.

" Non of us can do it though. We are all in school." Emma said.

" Well, me and Trista aren't." Darien said. " We've graduated, I don't have a full time job yet."

" I can do the times when Darien is working." Trista said. " We'll rotate. The school year is almost over, which means finals are coming. You all need to focus. Amara and Michelle are also graduating this year. These last few weeks are crucial."

" Okay, but this is only temporary." Serena said. " And I know we can do a few weekends."

" Okay, so Darien and Trista will do weeknight rotations. The rest of us will group up for weekends."

" Sounds like a plan." Rini said.

" How about. Outers on Friday nights. Inners on Saturday nights and Star, Xena, Mini Moon and Jr. on Sunday nights."

" Wait...but that's a school night." Emma said.

" Okay okay. Inners and youngins switch." Rei said. " None of us have classes until noon anyway."

" Okay." everyone agreed. They decided to use the little time they had left before they had to go home to just hang out.

Emma stood on the porch and looked at the skyline of the city.

"Hey." Emma looked behind her and saw Rini.

" ...Hi." She replied. Rini walked over and sat on the stairs with her. They were silent for a few minutes before Rini took a deep breath.

" Emma...I'm sorry about the other day. I shouldn't have said the things I said."

" I wasn't exactly in the target by myself. I shouldn't have brought up the attack. I know it was hard for you to get over once I got out of the hospital." Emma said. " I was just so angry that you wouldn't let me help Meggie."

" I was jealous." Rini admitted. " I didn't want you focusing your attention on someone else again. And I was so unfair to say that Meggie didn't derserve your friendship. I was being concieted. I guess it took me a while to figure out where the line was."

" I thought it was pretty clear."

" If you want to figure out what happened to Meggie. I'll back you up. Just tell me when you need the help." Emma smiled.

" Thanks." she said.

" Friends?"

" Yeah." Emma and Rini hugged. " Okay...so, last week, Sam and I went out to the park..."

" Ooooo." Rini poked her. Emma shared the story with the hot dog and the sprinklers. Everything was all hunky-dory again.

Meggie had been watching from the door. She didn't realize that Emma was going through the painstaking process of figuring her out. And it effected her friendship with Rini.

" Hey Meggie." Kyo said. Meggie rolled her eyes.

" Yes Kyo?"

" You see...the Spring Formal is coming up and...well, i wanted to see if you wanted to go with me."

" Oh god." Meggie smacked her self in the forehead. She turned to Kyo. " Okay bub. I'm not interested in dating...period. I'm only here to take care of Prince Whosiwhatsit and for all I know, I'll be off for Hong Kong. I go where I'm needed after I take care of this. I go where Gabriella tells me."

" So...that's a no?"

" YES!" Meggie shrieked. " NO! NON! ABOSOLUTLY NOT! IT'S A FREAKING NO!" Meggie yelled and walked away.

Kyo stared for a few seconds before smiling slyly. " Playing hard to get. She TOTALLY digs me."
