*sigh* Nobody has reviewed my last few chapters. Why, I wonder. I don't know what they think of them but this much I know. Out of all the stuff I written, I've had over 2000 and more visit them at least. It's so amazing! Well, anyways, I will continue anyways. Sorry for being late with it. I'm working on another fanfic now on the Labyrinth. Hope it'll get good reviews. Cha!

Adnama, still puzzled by what had happened in the brush, continued walking toward her destination with Mitts walking quietly along side her. Finally, she looked up at a building. The Library. ::Good:: Mitts' voice sounded in her head. ::This is what we need.:: Adnama's eyes widened and she looked down at Mitts, "How did you..." ::Shush!:: her voice said again, ::Don't give me away. What would people think if they saw you talking to a cat?:: Mitts walked up to the doors and Adnama just shrugged and opened the door. "Why not? Just add it to my list of 'Wierd thing happening to me'."
Inside, shelves of books stood in rows, away from the doors and a desk stood not far from the doors. The lady at the desk smiled, "May I help you?"
"I, um," ::Ask for past newspapers.:: "Yeah, i'd like to see past newspapers."
"What year?"
"Um," ::This year, silly!:: "Uh, this year."
The lady smiled and began typing on her computer, "Downstairs, periodicals, section 'B'. You'll find this year's on shelf 'E-NEWS'."
Adnama thanks the librarian and walked towards the stairwell leading down. It was dimmer down below and no one seemed around. Following her directions, Adnama found the newspapers further back. Taking down the heavy book, she sat down at a near-by table, dropping the book. Blowing a bit of dust off, she opened it. Mitts jumped upon the table and sat.
"Now what?" Adnama asked. Mitts went in front of the the large book and began flipping pages. Again Adnama was startled but laughed this time, "Ya know, kitty. You are turning out to be almost human!"
"No need to be insulting," Mitts said without stopping. Finally she stopped and stepped aside. "There! That's what we want." She put her paw on the front page article. Adnama looked closely. There was a picture of what appeared to be a meteor shower at night. The caption read, "Freak Star Shower" and in smaller letters, "What caused it?" She read the article aloud, "An untimed meteor shower appeared in the sky last night, showering Tokyo with glittering stars. Strangely, no stars have been found as of yet and no damage was done. Many people who were taken severly ill days before, were suddenly cured. Was it the shower?"
Adnama conitnued reading how people were strangely cured and how the storm of before had vanished. "The storm had started shortly after the final concert of a group called "The Starlights", who have now vanished. Many heartbroken fans miss them."
Adnama giggled slightly, "You bet they do." She sighed at the handsome picture of the three young men. Mitts frowned, agervated, and flipped the pages again, "No time for day dreaming. Ah, here's the last report. 'Still nothing on the shower of two weeks ago. Scientists have given up their search and have declared it a mystery.' Hmph! Doesn't take a genius to say that!"
Adnama's eyes were wandering about the pages until her eyes stopped suddenly upon a new headline. "Attacks in Britain." The caption below read, "Many young girls were found to be drained of energy and reports of monsters were many." Adnama's brow furrowed. "Strange. I wonder whatever happened to Sailor V there."
Mitts looked at her and then at the article, reading a bit more, "A certain pattern was formed by these crimes but stopped suddenly. These 'monster attacks' disasappeared entirely, leaving only weak victims. Where is Sailor V?"
Mitts shook her head, "This is the first strange attack in Britain in years and they expect Sailor V to show? She's been missing for years! Well, it appears this is all we'll learn." She jumped off the book. Adnama sighed and closed the book.
As she put it back on the shelf, the hairs on the back of her neck prickled. Someone was watching her. Cautiously, she turned slightly. No one. She looked down an isle and still saw no one. Mitts looked at her, curious, "What is it?"
Adnama shrugged, "I could have sworn someone was watching me." She still couldn't shake the feeling away, "Come on, Mitts. This place is starting to creep me out."
"Well as creepy as it may feel, we still have one thing left to research."
What's that?"
* * *
Serena gasped. Crystals? She continued peering through the bookshelf, "Looks like you were right, Luna," she whispered to the cat below, "They are up to something. But are you sure that cat can talk? I mean, I haven't heard a thing." Luna had seen both Adnama and Mitts go into the library and wanted to follow.
Luna nodded, watching the strange hair colored girl flipping through books about crystals. "I'm sure that cat has something to do with this. Why else would Adnama have a sudden interest in crystals." Luna's eyes narrowed. *Something about that cat. So familar.*
Adnama stopped suddenly and looked around. Serena ducked. "She sure seems nervous. She keeps looking around." The cat near Adnama also perked up. It looked at Adnama and she rose, putting away her books and quietly left the area. Serena leaned this way and that, "I can't see her anymore."
"Can't see whom?"
Serena jumped. There stood Adnama, right beside her, eyebrow raised. Serena stuttered, "Uh, I, uh, can't find 'her'! My cat. Yeah. Her."
Adnama nodded, then looked down, "Well, is this her?" She picked up Luna, who meowed sweetly.
Serena gave a nervous laugh, "Oh Luna, you silly cat. Where have you been hiding?" Luna jumped onto Serena's shoulder and purred, still looking at Adnama. Suddenly, a tabby jumped onto Adnama's shoulder. She purred contently, quietly eyeing Luna. "Oh, how cute! Your cat looks like a little grey and white tiger. Tabby Cat, right?"
Adnama nodded, "So, what brings you to the library?"
"Oh, just research for school. How about you?" Serena glanced at the book Adnama held at her side, "Working on crystals?"
"Uh, yeah. For Chem, real boring."
"Oh, is that your field of study?"
"No. I'm working on being an actress one day. Maybe a singer. I also love drawing and writing, so I may do that field too." She glanced at her watch, "I'm sorry, I really gotta go. Nice running into you again. At least, not literally this time." She laughed and rqan off, waving.
Serena waved back, "You see, Luna. Perfectly normal. She's just doing homework. Stop worrying."
Luna didn't reply. She was still thinking about that cat. It had looked normal, perfectly ordinary.
Then why had she sensed something?
* * *
What do you mean, Mitts?" Adnama quiered after they had left the library, "Serena is normal and so is her cat. So she's got bald-shaped crescent moon on her head, so what? Probably a prank played by some kid."
Mitts looked dubious, "I don't know. Something about...Adnama?!"
Adnama had suddenly falen to her knees, touching her head, "Not...again," she breathed and hit the ground.
