Okies! Here ya are! Chapter 6! The standard disclaimers apply, ya know what they are. It's almost 12:00, midnight here, and I'm on one heck'va sugar rush, due to sugared-up coffee. ^_^ On with it! Well, don't read this if you're a Nasty/ Mia lover. I'm not gonna spoil the surprise!! ~_^
Kunzite was once again in the Dark Moon kingdom, bowing before Queen Beryl. Beryl was in her typical position, on her throne with her hands on either side of the globe on the tiptop of her staff. Kunzite was on his knees bowing, and he then raised, one hand diagonal across his chest and resting on his left side.
"Yes, my Queen?" Kunzite asked.
"How you turned around Mars' attack was quite interesting. I enjoyed it." Beryl grinned.
"My Queen, I have a question for you." Kunzite gave a brief pause. "When I attacked the temple, I only saw four of the Inner Senshi. Where is Princess Minako?"
"She is currently in Toyama, Japan. That's where you're going first. A girl there who seems to do the majority of the things for a group of fighters called the Samurai Troopers has caught onto us, and we need to dispose of her. That's where Minako is."
"Why is she there?" A look of shock slowly seeped over his features before it returned to normal.
"Because they took her there." Beryl cooed. "If you can defeat them and the Senshi, you'll have your Minako. And maybe, she'll come to the Dark Moon with us." Beryl was lying to him. No matter what, Beryl was planning on killing Minako.
"Yes, my Queen." Kunzite said.
"And another thing..." Beryl grinned. "The Samurai Troopers wear powerful armor. With those five armors, we could over throw the Earth much more easier. You would wear one, and the spare one would be used for Minako."
"I'll try to get the armor all at the same time." Kunzite bowed low once again.
"Good then. You are dismissed." Beryl nodded at him as he disappeared slowly into blackness.
Sai waited in the living room, rather impatient. But what he saw next was well worth the wait. Minako walked down the stairs, one hand lightly on the railing. Her bathing suit was solid orange, with a cut out stretching from the middle of her stomach to the small of her back. Her hair had several small braids in it, and the hair that usually hung from the cherry red bow was wrapped up in a bun, and tied off by the bow.
Sai blinked. "Umm...err..." 'Wow.' Ryo stood by Sage in his red swimming trunks, and the rest of the Troopers were also in their swimming trunks, Sai the only one wearing a body suit to swim in.
Minako grabbed a towel on her way down, from Touma whom held one out to her, a light blush on her cheeks. "Let's go. How far is it from the water?" Minako slipped into a pair of orange sandals.
"Not too far, not too long." Touma shrugged. "Sai goes down there most of the time."
"C'mon." Sai opened the door, and walked out, the rest of them following him soon after.
Rei looked dazed as she sat on the ground before the Sacred Flames. Usagi was wrapping a white gauze bandage around Rei's head, pieces of Rei's hair falling down into chunks over it or sticking through it. Makoto swept the floor, and Ami got rid of the pieces of the splintered table. After Ami was done picking up the large pieces, Makoto swept up the rest. Ami held her communicator, and looked at Usagi.
"How's Rei-chan doing?" Ami questioned as she loosely held the communicator.
"She hit her head really hard." Usagi informed her, with her brief medical knowledge. "It shouldn't have hurt her too much, considering her head's so hard."
"Ha. Ha." Rei grumbled. "Not funny, Usa-baka."
"See? She didn't hit her head that hard, or she would forget who she was and get a new attitude." Usagi gave a peace sign. "Rei-chan will be okay."
"If I didn't have such a head ache, Usa-baka, I would bop you on the head. And, you wrapped the bandage too tight." Rei muttered. As Rei threw dirty glares at Usagi, Ami gave her a check up, considering she was more informed on medical information.
"She'll be okay, luckily, nothing's broken. You'll have major bruises, and a serious head ache." Ami shook her head. "You need sleep. Don't worry about the temple; we can clean it up for you. You need all the rest you can get. Makoto, Usagi, please help carry Rei to her room. I'm going to call up the rest of the senshi."
"Right." Makoto nodded as she put the broom down and grabbed Rei by the arms. Usagi grabbed her by the feet, and they both lifted her up.
"Gah...too...heavy..." Usagi shook under Rei's weight.
"Usagi, not meaning to be rude, but if you worked out some instead of reading manga and eating chocolate, maybe you would actually have some strength." Ami was punching in a few keys on the communicator.
"Wow...remember for me...to come to you...for a confidence booster...UGH! When ever I feel...down!" When Usagi said "down", she ended up face first on the ground, Rei on top of her.
"Baka! That hurt!" Rei kicked Usagi, but the kick wasn't too hard.
"Believe me...it hurt me more then it hurt you." Usagi's limbs failed under Rei. Makoto stood to the side, one finger on her temple, and shaking her head.
"Enough, both of you." Ami frowned.
Ryo stayed up on the bank most of the time, watching everyone else swim. Touma leaned up on the bank occasionally to talk to Ryo. Minako was having fun, swimming around the water playfully. Sai was swimming the best, and did tricks in the water. Shu occasionally got in, but sometimes he got out. Seiji stayed in the water, trying not to get too wet. Byacren sat beside the water with Ryo, disdain on the white tiger's face for the water.
Minako stealthy swam in the water. She was approaching the bank where Shu leaned over the bank with Touma, talking to Ryo. Minako ran a few fingers through her blonde hair, smiling. She swam behind the two boys, not making a sound. She then positioned herself correctly where there was a small gap between the two, and Ryo was visible. Minako then pushed roughly at the water, making it splash up on the land and to Ryo. Ryo got wet, so did Byacren, and they were both very unhappy.
Minako swam backwards, making her self be a far distance away from the group. When they all turned around to see who the culprit was, all they saw was Minako, twirling a piece of her blonde hair and batting her eyes at Seiji. Seiji has his eyes closed, and had no clue what Minako was doing.
"..." Ryo shook his head.
Minako grinned as the boys decided it wasn't her who preformed the stunt. She then spotted out her next target: Seiji. Seiji looked so at peace, sitting in the water with his eyes closed. 'And so damn cute!' Minako slapped herself for that mental remark. 'Okay, not damn cute, just cute.' Another mental slap. Minako shook her head, and then slid through the water to Seiji. Right beside of him was a small thicket, where long grass grew from the water. Lilly pads were also abundant there, and Minako positioned herself, hidden from view by the long grass.
Minako glanced down to a lily pad, seeing one of the pink flowers on it. She grinned, ad plucked it, placing it behind her right ear. She then looked at Seiji, who still had his eyes shut. Minako positioned her hands to make a massive title wave splash at Seiji, and pulled her arms back before letting them fly forward with all the force possible.
Seiji was hit in the face, full force by the water. When the water cleared, Seiji was left dripping and glaring. The hair that covered one eye was completely stuck to that side of his face. He shut his eyes briefly and ran a few fingers through it, making it have more body, even though it was wet. He opened his eyes, and looked in the direction he had heard the attack come from. Unfortunately for Seiji, he couldn't tell because Minako had been so quiet about it all.
Minako creped out of the thicket after plucking another pink flower, twirling it gently and smiling softly. Seiji sent a questioning glare at her, and Minako decided to use her superb acting skills. She dropped the flower in the water, and put her hands on her hips as she huffed, a frown on her pretty features. "I was fixing my bathing suit! And I was not about to do that in front of five guys!"
Sai blushed red, hearing the comment. He then sunk his head under water as the rest of the boys shook their heads at Minako. She grinned, and the rest of the boys returned to what they were doing. Minako turned up on her back in the water, her blonde hair spilling out around her.
Nasty was back at the house, in the computer room. She was typing away at the computer, in her typical state. She was reading information on Minako and her attacks, a cherry red apple loose in one hand. She took a bite out of it as she scrolled down the page, breezing over the information with an amazing speed. She came to a piece centered on the Moon Kingdom, her interest peaked. She stopped scrolling, and paused to read the information.
Not soon into reading, she found out that Minako had a high position. And she was also used as a decoy, because she looked so much like the Moon Princess. Minako was the leader of the Inner Senshi, and seemed to also be known as the "Goddess of Love". She read an interesting part next: There were four generals, in love with the four Inner Senshi. The top-ranking general named "Kunzite" seemed to be romantically involved with Minako. Nasty clicked on a small link for a picture of Kunzite, and saw the same silver haired General who was helping out Queen Beryl. Her eyes grew wide, and the apple in her hand fell and rolled onto the floor. She blinked, trying to seep up the information in a logical manner.
Some one, or some thing, tapped Nasty on the shoulder. She held up one finger, signaling, "wait a second", and continued reading. The tapping continued, and it was harder and on a pressure point where her shoulder and neck met. She huffed, and figured it to be Shu or Seiji, but Seiji would have been more polite. She turned around in the swivel chair, only to see a gray clad and armor clad chest. Her eyes traveled upward until she met cold ice blue eyes and long, silver hair. Nasty blinked, recognizing it as Kunzite from the information. She gasped, but was cut off by Kunzite putting a hand over her mouth and drew his sword. He placed it at her throat, still smirking.
"You're just the first. Don't worry, your death won't be in vain. It might be useful for something. But I don't need you to get in the way, you're meddling with my plans too much." He uncovered her mouth, and slid his sword across her throat. Blood fell after where the sword sliced, staining her pink shirt. She slumped in the chair, eyes wide opened from shock. She didn't even have time to scream, her death was so sudden.
Kunzite took his sword, and wiped it off on Nasty's hair. He re-sheathed it, and sat Nasty up in the chair. He turned her away from the doorway, and made her face the large window. He smirked still, and opened up a black portal. "It's not time to see Minako-chan, I can wait..." He entered the portal and left Nasty in the chair, dead.
