HEMORRHAGE
~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤

Previously in Hemorrhage: Minako had a vision of the eminent city as just a tedious land of rubble
and dead bodies. She had two strange encounters in the vision with a vagabond man and a fuming little
girl. When she awakened, Rei was there trying to control Usagi's temper but she got away with the
police right behind her.

NOTE: This fanfic is rated R for strong language and violence.

Also, the story lines are changed compared to like the show. The cats are not cats, they are human
is one of the examples and it doesn't take place in Japan. I know it's different. lol. It's because
it's based on what I know. And thanx for baring with me and for all the good reviews! :) And also
sorry about any misspelled words or typos.

Please leave a review too :) Thanx! -Kasey

Oh and I do not own anything in association with Sailor Moon.

Chapter 4
__________

"So they have her?" I asked Rei as the cop helped me outside to the police cars. She
nodded as we both looked over from a far distance to where Usagi was sitting handcuffed in a cop
car. "What are they going to do with her?"
Rei sighed and shuffled her feet in the dirt. "I don't know. We won't press charges. We know
what actually became of her." I agreed to myself to her responce.
"Okay then. What are we going to do with her?" I stared at Rei then at a car pulling into
the driveway. Artemis jumped out and headed towards us and hugging me like I had been gone for
years. Like when I came back from England. After he loosened his clench, I could see out of the
corner of my eye that Rei was giving Artemis a look to ask me what was going on. And he did just
that.
"What is going on? What happended?" His eyes were sincere. I stuttered for a moment while
Rei just crossed her arms.
"Well, I cam over and Usagi just went hostile about the new enemies and everything." I wasn't
going to spill any details until there actually needed to be. "Well, it turned out she is the enemy.
Or has the enemy inside of her." Even Rei was stunned by prediction. "What are we going to do with
her?" Artemis stared at me not even flinching.

The sky was full of vibrant colors of tinted orange, bright pink, and some murky blue. I couldn't
take my eyes off of it as the breeze swept across my chaste face. Will I wake up to this every morning
during "the time" unless it was a stormy morning? Will the sunrise always be this bright when it would
normally be a clear day? No was my answer. It will be full of the scent of the blood and carcasses
decomposing as they lay futile on the ground. Death and hatred will be the only thing satisfying this
world if we don't get something done. The air will sweep the stenches of these wasted materials
into all the feeble souls still alive. These thoughts were nerve wacking when it came down to this one
prediction. It will happen in this lifetime. Everyone will be hurting and everything will be hopeless.
Even the ones that will survive won't really be living. They won't have anything to live on because
everything would be lifeless. But personally, I don't think anything and definitely anyone will
survive if we lose this battle.
I forced myself away from the window and the last remnants of the Earth. This is how it will
be, how it will end. I looked over at my dresser where a box of art supplies were sitting. God, all
these people will soom be counting on me, soon be looking up to me. Seaching for a way out and hoping
that I would be that way out. Without Usagi, we aren't nearly as powerful. I thought back to when
Luna informed us that Usagi would be detention for the next few months. The months of the war. So
now I am lead up to be the main combatant in this confrontation. My face was soon becoming clammy to
the thoughts of having to be the "worthy one." The scissors were glistening by the head light of
my room. I stared for a moment, wondering what use I would have with these in the next few months.
The same use I had with them in the past when all my troubles were colliding all at once. It didn't
help much but it did make the pain go away. I could feel no pain. I could feel no pain when I
engraved them into my painless flesh. But that was all in the past and Artemis would have me
executed if I ever pulled anything like that again.
Sighing I turned my back to the art supplies, trying not to get myself pressured into it.
It wouldn't help anything at all. It wouldn't solve these problems. I looked at the clock that was
sitting right in front of my eyes. It read ten after one in the morning. Tomorrow will be another
day, a day of penetrating for what was right and what was to become of this. Only one more day,
and the battle will inaugurate. We have to find out what is causing this and who it will be converted
into. I thought about the sharp metal of the scissors again.

Artemis and Luna had gone down to the blood place where they took examples of Usagi's blood
yesterday on behalf of a favor we aked. They returned hours later and called up every one of us to
suggest that we come down to the lab immediately. I arrived sometime during early afternoon and only
Ami and Rei were there.
"Mako called back and she is sick." Ami said instantaneously. I shrugged it off.
"So what's the report on this whole blood sample thing?" I asked walking up to Artemis who
was looking through a microscope. I placed a hand on his shoulder but he waved it off.
"Minako, sit." Rei pushed my shoulders down onto a chair she pulled up behind me. I waited
uncontrollably for what they were going to tell me. I opened my mouth about a cenimeter to ask a
question but Luna shushed at me.
Artmis pulled away from the microscope and turned around to face all of us. He rubbed his
eyes then looked up at us with a red, sweaty face. "Well, it looks like a venom was some how
deposited into Usagi's body and it practically 'brain-washed' her into an adverse person that wants
to go out and demolish everything in sight." He rubbed his eyes again and then looked at me. "We have
to some how get rid of this fluid that is in her." Before he could say anything else, Luna confirmed
that it could take months to figure out how to get this new substance out of her.
"So, basically we have to fight this without her." Ami looked down at her feet. "And Mako
is sick."
I glanced around the fatigued lab at everyone's apprehensive expression. This is going to be
an extensive, difficult combat.

Artemis and I returned back to the house alone. Nothing was said on the concise ride home.
I could only hear the rough breathing coming from both of us and the piercing of his heart beat.
Not even a word was said was we entered our house. I threw myself onto the sofa and yestered my head
on the pillow laying on the other end of the couch. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow is when we release
our identities and confirm to every living soul that the planet is going into war against these
criminals, the criminals from outside this world that are putting a damaging fluid into innocent
humans. And that we don't even know who or what these things are or where they are and how they got
here and why. But I knew why. Everytime something like this but less crucial happens, it's mainly
because they want to use this planet, the only planet that can tolerate living things, for their
kind and their kind only. This is going to be a bigger warfare than before so it might have a
bigger reason why they are doing this. Tomorrow is when all hell will break lose.
