Well, I'm worthless. I've actually had writer's block! ^_^;; Hehe. PLease forvie meee!!!
Rei lay in her bed, growling with her arms crossed. She was supposed to be resting, but how could she? By the time Makoto and Usagi had gotten her in, Usagi had dropped her several times. She was probably going to have several bruises, the one that would probably be the worst the one on her bottom. Ami sat by her bed, and had contacted the Outer Senshi. They were to be back in one hour. Usagi kept her self bust by digging through Rei's manga stash, and reading assorted manga. Makoto had made some more snacks for everyone.
"Usagi! Did I give you permission!" Rei barked at Usagi, her head ache getting worse from screaming at Usagi. Usagi froze, and dropped the manga to the floor. "I hope that wasn't a good one..." Rei blinked as Usagi fell to her knees, crying. She was afraid that she had really done something to her Usagi, from the way Usagi was bawling.
"Usagi-chan!" Ami walked to her, and helped her up and onto a pillow before another low table in a kneeling position. She then went over to the manga book, and picked it up. On the cover was a shot of Sailor V. She was in the air jumping with a multi-colored background. She was winking, and giving a peace sign.
"Ohhh.." Rei nodded, much to her dislike, after she saw the cover to the manga. "Usagi...I'm sorry..."
"It's...okay...it's..my...my...fault..anyway..." Usagi heaved between sighs. Ami shook her head, and put the book on the bottom of one of the manga piles. Makoto was out of the room, so she wasn't able to help the situation.
"Don't worry, she's ok, and she'll come back to us." Ami laid a hand on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi looked up at her, with a tear-streaked face. "Believe me. Who ever has her now can't be too right for keeping her this long."
Minako walked into the house, smiling. She had run ahead of the rest of the guys, much to their dislike. Touma was the first one to catch up with her, and was very unhappy. After they both go inside the door, he snatched her by the wrist and backed her up against a wall. "Why did you run ahead of us?"
"Because I was playing around!" Minako snapped back at him, now liking the tone of voice he addressed her in.
"I don't care, how could have we known that something couldn't have come up and snatched you. Or you to run off." Touma stated, as he looked her in the eyes. His lips hovered above hers, and she found herself sliding her eyes shut against her will. Touma leaned in for a kiss, but he heard a loud clattering behind of them.
"Ummm..." Shu stood beside of them, cocking his head to the side. His large sunglasses were sliding down the bridge of his nose. By him, Ryo, Seiji, and Sai all looked very jealous of Touma's extremely opportune position with Minako.
"And, what are you doing?" Sai questioned, and Minako's eyes opened. A blush spread across her face, she leaned against the wall, pressing her two fore fingers together and looking u at Touma to give his sea-loving friend an answer.
"..." Touma wordlessly walked off from the scene, trying to scrape what little dignity he could up.
"Hmmm..." Seiji looked at the blushing Minako. After Touma left, Minako bowing low once to all of the remaining boys. "I've gotta go!" She then zoomed up the stair, leaving the rest of the boys in a cloud of smoke.
"..." The rest of the boys waved their hands around them to clear the dirt that had collected.
"Nasty obviously needs to clean this part of the house good..." Ryo shook his head.
"Speaking of Nasty, where is she?" Shu scratched the crown of his head. He didn't smell anything coming from the kitchen, and he was hungry.
"No clue." Seiji shrugged, and paused. "Are you guys catching anything...strange?"
Ryo paused "Yup. I wonder what it is."
"Let's look around." Sai suggested, and they all split up to look.
Meanwhile, Minako was getting dressed. She still had the small braids in her hair, and she decided to keep them in for the time being. A few had come out, and left the pieces of hair that were braided crimped. She changed into a pair of yellow lace-up knee high boots, a yellow mock turtle neck tank, and a very short orange mini skirt. She replaced the red bow in her hair with a fresh one, and sat before a vanity. She sat on the plush stool, and started to brush the un-braided hair with a silver-backed hairbrush.
Minako was looking down, and she then quickly looked up in the mirror. She froze when she saw a familiar figure standing behind of her. His face couldn't be seen in the mirror, but his long, silver hair and gray uniform was visible, along with a sword sheathed around his waist. Minako froze, and felt a few strands of her hair being stroked. 'Can that be Kunzite? No way!'
Her thoughts were proved wrong when Kunzite lowered his face and rested his chin on her shoulder. He then kissed her neck while toying with a few strands of her shining blonde hair, and looked into the mirror, smirking. He slowly disappeared, and Minako swirled around. No one was standing behind of her, but the window was opened. 'Maybe he wasn't here...maybe I was dreaming...or...' Minako brushed a strand of hair that wasn't braided. She was surprised when she caught a braid in the bristles. She pulled it out and felt something tying it off.
She looked down, and saw an ice blue bow. The same color as Kunzite's eyes. And Minako had no hair ties, so she knew she couldn't have done it. Her eyes widened, and she put one hand gently on her neck. Sure enough, there was the faintest touch of moisture left.
Minako calmly stood up, brushing her self off and straightening out her out fit. She cleared her throat, bringing a fist up to her mouth. She took a deep breath of air, and got ready to scream like hell.
Shu walked into Nasty's computer room. "Hey!" He was surprised not to get an answer. He cocked his head to the side, his sunglasses falling further down the bridge of his nose. He pushed them back up, and walked over to Nasty's computer. Her chair was turned away from the computer.
Shu glanced at the screen, seeing the faintest red streak across it. He lowered his self to be at eye level with the slash, down on his haunches. He gently pushed one finger into the substance, and was surprised when it came back with the red color on it. "Hehe, maybe Nasty-chan got hungry and wanted some fries." He put it in his mouth, and the quickly spitted it out. What ever it was, it sure as hell wasn't catsup.
"..." Shu stood up. "You guys might wanna come in here and take a look at something..." He saw the chair tuned around, and two feet loosely dragging on the floor. He turned around towards the doorway, so not to face it, and looked sick.
"Yeah?" Ryo walked in, along with the three other boys. Obviously, Touma had gotten over his embarrassment, but the lightest pink tone could still be shown on his cheeks.
Shu walked over to them, and pointed at the chair. "You check it while I call 911."
"Okay..." Ryo looked suspicious as he walked over to the chair, and whirled it around to face all of the guys. Nasty was limp, one hand in her lap and the other loose by the side of the chair. Her head was tilted to the side, and the front of her body was stained with her own blood.
"AAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" Minako's distinctive cry rang through out the house.
"Minako!" Seiji ran to the doorway, and looked into the hallway. Sai accompanied him.
"What ever, or who ever, did this could still be in the house!" Sai exclaimed.
"And they could have Minako..." Seiji trailed off.
"Don't worry about calling 911." Ryo shook his head. "Nasty's dead. Might as well call a hearse."
"The police are on their way." Shu stated as he hung up the phone.
"I'm going to check on Minako!" And, with that, Seiji rushed out up the room, down the hallway, down another one, up the stairs, and through another hallway to get to Minako's room.
When he saw Minako, she was on her knees, with her eyes shut, still screaming. Seiji blinked, looking surpised. He then walked over to Minako, knelt beside of her, and took her up in an embrace. Minako relaxed some, resting her head on his chest, her screaming dieing down to whimpers.
"What was it? Did anything hurt you?" Seiji asked, stroking one of the braids in her hair. "Calm down. The police are going to be here."
"Why?" Minako brought her head off of his chest, and looked into his eyes, confused. "Why are they coming?"
"Nasty's dead." Seiji stated, and Minako gasped, putting a hand over her mouth.
"You know I didn't like her..but...I might have thought it...but...I never really wanted for her to be..." Minako whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes. "...dead." Minako shook her head. "It's so stupid. You took me here, even though I didn't want to go, and I'm said because SHE died."
"..." Seiji stroked Minako's hair. "You've got a heart." Seiji felt something damp hit his shirt. "This is going to make things tougher...why were you screaming? You couldn't have possibly known about Nasty-chan from all the way up here...?"
"I was a little...surprised by someone..." Minako muttered. She held the braid with the bow on the end in one fist, loosely.
"Come on down stairs. You'll probably have to talk to the authorities." Seiji held Minako's hand, and walked out of the room with it. He then led her into Nasty's room, and opened up one of Nasty's jewelry boxes. He took out a silver band, with a diamond cut in a teardrop shape in the middle. He took Minako's hand, and slipped it onto the proper finger.
"Huh?" Minako stared at the ring.
"To write it off to the Authorities, you're my fiancée." Seiji stated. Minako couldn't help but smile.
"I'm wearing a dead girl's ring..." Minako pointed out. "You are just doing this as play, right. But then again, I could always tell the police what is truly going on. My ticket outta here. And, why do I have to be engaged to you?" By this far, Seiji was sweat dropping. "Sai is cuter, and he has that irrestible British accent."
"..." A vein was popping out on his fore head, and an eye twitched uncontrollably. He laughed dryly once, before snatching Minako by the wrist and commencing to walk with her down stairs. "Just play along."
15 minutes later, several vehicles pulled into the driveway. Police entered the house, and the Troopers' and Minako sat calmly down stairs, waiting on them. Minako was by this time, crying, holding an orange handkerchief. Seiji held her hand, and rubbed it with the other one. Of course, all of the other boys were solemn.
"I'm Officer Kubrashi. Is this the house that we received a...distress call from?" A young officer asked, as he looked the group over.
"Yes. The body is in...the computer room on the bottom floor." Touma's voice choked up briefly.
"Thank you." Kubrashi turned to leave, followed by a few ambulance workers and the coroner. Another officer, looking even younger then the first one, entered. He paused from going on through the house, and stopped before Minako. He got on his knees before her, and looked at her.
"..." Minako looked up at him, with the handkerchief at one corner of her eye.
"You look like Minako Aino. She's been missing from Tokyo, Jubaan district. You wouldn't happen to be her, would you?" He peered into her face.
All of the Troopers were nervous, not knowing what Minako would say. "I'm sorry, I don't know who you're talking about. I'm..." Minako paused to make a name up. "...Usagi Tsukino. I'm engaged to Seiji Date, we've lived here all out lives."
"I'm sorry, Miss Tsukino." He nodded and stood up, walking off to where the computer room was.
"Usagi Tsukino?" Ryo asked.
"Hehehe." Minako giggled, a sweat drop rolling down the side of her head.
"Cute name." Sai stated as he scratched the back of his head.
