Chapter 3: Haruka's Mission
By: Kohan
Disclaimers: You know what I'm going to say...

"Usagi-chan, let go of me! I said I don't want to come!" Hotaru said, trying
to pull free of Usagi's grasp.
"You need to get out more, Hotaru," Usagi said, "Anyway, I told them that we
were *all* coming."
"Micharu! I said NO!!" Haruka was saying to Micharu, she was being pulled
along, much like Hotaru. "I am not going shopping with you."
"Yes, you are."
"I could stay here, Usagi...in case Setsuna comes." Hotaru pleaded.
"No. If I'm going, your going." Haruka said. "The way I will manage is
to find a Sailoruranus doll." She said.
"But there won't be any because there aren't any Senshi here except us, and
nobody knows about us." Rei said.
"Exactly." Haruka said, with an evil glint in her eyes. 'She's cracked.'
Hotaru thought.
"Come on, it will be fun, besides, Setsuna gave us more money, and now that
we know how to use it, we can SPEND it!!"
"Usagi needs it, we all do." Micharu said.
"No we all don't!" Hotaru had no wish to spend her day going through every
store imaginable...
***
"We're meeting them here in about five minutes." Said Usagi.
"So we're early?" Rei asked, "This *is* a new you, Usagi, I'm impressed."
"Thank you, I try."
"How are you going to do it, Hotaru?" Asked Haruka.
"Do what?"
"Manage through this horrible, awful, no good, very bad day?"
"I don't know...I guess this day can't be that bad, at least I don't have to
spend it all by myself with someone like D--"
"We're here!!!" Duo yelled, he and the other four boys were approaching.
"I take that back, it's ten times worse being stuck here with the real Duo."
"You sound sour, Hotaru." Usagi said
"I am sour." Hotaru whispered.
"Well don't be, today's going to be fun...Hi guys!"
Duo had a skip in his step, as well as did Quatre. Trowa and Wufei looked
very harassed, while Heero looked oddly smug.
"Hi, Usagi." Said Quatre.
"I will only be happy if we stop for food." Duo said.
"What's with gun-boy?" Rei asked.
"The only way I could get him here was to tell him that we would go to the
gun shop." Duo whispered.
"..."
"Yeah, well your lucky, I have *two* that didn't want to come." Usagi said
"That's nothing, your forgetting Wu-man and Trowa."
"I told you not to call me that, Maxwell! My name is Wufei! Wu-fei!" Wufei
yelled.
"Okay, Wu-man." Wufei started chasing Duo around the square, yelling something
that sounded oddly to Hotaru like 'I'm going to chop off that braid and hang
you with it.' "Eeeep!" Duo yelled.
"Could this day get any worse?" Whispered Haruka to Hotaru.
"Don't say that, Haruka!" Shouted Micharu, "YOU'LL RUIN IT FOR US ALL!!"
"C'mon! Wiffie, Duo, we're going!" Usagi yelled to the two who were still
running around like mad chickens.
"MY name is WUFEI!"
***
Usagi was looking in a window of a shop that was called 'Stuffed Animal Mania'
"OOOOOooohhhh..." She said, looking at a particular fuzzy plush thing. "Hey,
Haruka! This is the plush store! You can look for your Sailoruranus doll here."
Haruka came over, and while Usagi was still looking in the window, went in.
"There is no way I'm going in there." Said Duo.
"Yes you are, let's go." Usagi grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. Hotaru,
Micharu and Rei followed, however the others figured it was better to save
the life they had at the time.
"No! No! Let go of me! No... Oh, how cute..."
"See?"
Rei picked up what looked to her like a stuffed chicken. Mumbling something
like 'cheep', she put it down and walked to the back of the store. Haruka
wasn't having much luck in finding her prize, however, and she was getting
rather flustered at the thought.
"I don't believe this...we were so popular!" She said.
"Maybe they'll have one in an antique store." Hotaru suggested, which made
Haruka frown even more. "I'm getting out of here, this place is creepy."
"A little bunny!" Duo said, rushing over to the front desk. Usagi laughed
nervously, she wanted to go to other stores too, but Duo seemed to like this
store very much. The store clerk looked at Duo oddly and then looked at Usagi.
"He's never seen little bunnies before." She lied.
Just about that time Rei walked out with Hotaru, the few words that Usagi
caught were 'Cheep bastards.' From Rei. Usagi turned back to Duo, who was
examining the pink plush carefully. 'Unbelievable, he's worse then me!'
Rei came out of the store, followed by Hotaru. Trowa, Wufei, Heero and Quatre
were standing not far away from the door.
"Too intense for you?" Quatre asked.
"Ha, that doesn't begin to describe it." Said Rei.
"Weak women." Muttered Wufei.
"You want to come in?" Rei asked. "There are lots of cute chicken things in
there."
"No."
"Come on, Wufei," Rei said.
"I do not have to prove that I am not weak to a woman."
"Well th--"
"OW!" Wufei yelled, Hotaru had just kicked him in the shin.
"You just proved that you are weaker then most women I know. I've never heard
a man say 'Ow' before." Said Hotaru.
"Please, stop fighting," Quatre pleaded.
"Haruka, Micharu...can we go...I'm getting tired of standing around here."
Usagi said to Haruka and Micharu, who were standing by the front door.
"What about braid boy over there?"
"I'm sure he can take care of himself...He's not responsive to me at the
moment. Besides, we're just going to the next store, right?"
"Okay, lets go then." Micharu said, opened the door, right outside, Usagi
could see Rei and Wufei arguing, while Quatre tried to stop them. Hotaru was
standing next to Heero listening to Wufei tell them how stupid women were.
Heero had let a small smirk escape his lips at Wufei's ramblings, while Rei,
who had been deprived of arguing with Usagi, released all her fury at Wufei.
"Hi guys," Said Usagi, "did I miss something?"
"Wufei was just describing what a stupid woman was made of." Hotaru said.
"Quatre, they're not going to stop." Said Heero
"I hate to see people fight!"
"Leave them be," Haruka said, "Rei-chan needs some excitement, I thought she
might explode if she didn't get it all out."
"Where's the Braided baka?" Asked Heero.
"Still looking at pink bunnies,"
***
(2 stores later)
"Look, Haruka, It's the antique store." Said Hotaru, "Now we'll find your
Sailoruranus doll and you'll be happy."
"And I can get a taste of your past lives!" Duo said, he had joined them again at
the last store. Wufei and Rei weren't speaking to each other, and if Haruka
said anything it was 'Do you think this store will have my doll in it?'.
Hotaru was about to shoot Duo and Wufei both, and Quatre was having a hard
time keeping her from stealing Heero's gun to do so. Heero was getting quite
annoyed at the fact that they hadn't yet gone to the gun shop, and Usagi
wasn't helping things. They all walked into the antique store, Trowa silent
as usual, and Rei and Wufei were shooting glares to kill at each other.
"I'm going to find my doll." Said Haruka, and she walked off to look for a
Sailoruranus doll. Usagi and Duo walked off to look at some posters, and
Wufei and Rei stayed on opposite ends of the store.
Heero looked at a hand held...something. "What the hell is this?" He asked
Hotaru who was standing right behind him looking at a old lamp.
"Oh, that's a hand held can opener." She said.
"Can opener? What a stupid idea."
"Well how else do you expect to get a can open?"
"We don't have cans here." Said Heero, "We buy our food fresh."
"But what if there was like a disaster or something?"
"We haven't had any trouble with enemies for two years now." Heero examined
the can opener closer. "That is until you people showed up."
"HA HA! Michi! I've found it!" Haruka yelled, "A Sailoruranus doll!"
"That's great 'Ruka." Micharu said, she was looking through an old microscope.
Haruka looked at the tag of the doll, on it a name had been written. It said
Minako.
"The only freaking Sailoruranus doll in this whole bloody city and it had to
be that baka's." Haruka muttered.
Rei crossed her arms stubbornly and ignored Quatre.
"Your friend is a moron." Rei said.
"No, he's just...difficult."
"He's a moron."
"I don't want to argue." Quatre said.
"Yeah well, guess what? I think I just heard Haruka say she found a Sailoruranus
doll. That's the only reason we're here, right?" Rei replied coldly, she was
still mad about Wufei, and she didn't feel comfortable being in the same room
as him. Rei walked off to find Haruka, who was at the front desk buying her
Uranus doll. Quatre followed Rei, rubbing his temples. This was not going his
way.
"Look, Rei! The only Goddamn Sailoruranus doll in the whole city and guess
who it used to belong to? Just guess." Haruka said when Rei came up.
"Calm down, Haruka."
"This is not my day,"
"Obviously. Whose was it?"
"Minako's." Haruka said. An image of Minako talking to Sailorpluto flashed
across Rei's mind. She shook her head to clear it, but the image didn't go
away.
"I know how you feel. I just want to go home."
"Me too." Said Usagi, who had just walked over "Duo is really getting on my nerves."
"So what's this, Usagi? Does it do something?" Duo asked, coming up to her.
He had a old lunch bag in his hands.
"I'll go find Micharu." Said Haruka grabbing the bag which contained the
Sailoruranus doll.
"Only one problem." Said Duo. "We're not done yet."
"Why?"
"We have to go to the gun shop, for Heero. If we don't he'll kill me."
"Fine...we can go in the linen shop while he's looking at...guns." Micharu
said. "I need a new pillowcase. Haruka got wine all over one."
"What was she doing with wine in bed?" Usagi asked.
"If you don't ask, I won't tell."
***
"I still don't know why you need a gun, Hotaru." Said Micharu. They were
walking across the street to the Linen store so Heero could go into the Gun
Shop.
"Obviously we have a new enemy, Micharu." Said Hotaru. "If I'm in a public
place I can't heshin in front of a whole bunch of people."
"You don't even know how to use a gun!"
"Yes I do! Ja ne!" Hotaru yelled as she followed Heero into the Gun Shop.
"Who taught her to use a gun, Haruka?" Asked Micharu.
"No idea," Haruka said, but she was blushing. Micharu knocked Haruka one with
her purse.
"Your coming into the linen shop with us so I can keep an eye on you. I'm
very disappointed in you, Ten'ou Haruka."

AN: There you go, hope you enjoy. If you think this chapter is a little weird
you can blame me ~_^. I stayed up way too late last night and woke up way too
early, so don't expect this weirdness all the time! Wouldn't want you to get
big heads!
