*Chapter 4*
(The Night )
Mina walked along the street that night, her head filled with thoughts beyond the usual. The moon was bright and full and not a cloud in the dark blue sky. Amy was her friend she had to go and yet she was scared to death of what might happen. No one could go with her, no one was there to turn too, no one to stay by her side this time. She held her heart crystal to her chest as she neared Central Park, her heart racing fast. She hoped a sailor scout wouldn't be necessary but there was always that chance, the chance she might have to take this night. Mina entered Central Park with a calm appearance but her palms were sweaty with fear as they shook. She looked around waiting for some hint of where to meet the stranger from the phone. Suddenly there was a grabbed from behind her and a hand covered her mouth. Mina tried to scream and wiggled to get free but nothing worked and soon she was feeling faint. The last thing she saw was a dark mans face as it became blurry and disappeared from her sight.
( Home )
Kenshin had come over to comfort Lita that night, since Mina had gone alone. Kenshin knew how close they were to each other and knew it was dangerous for Mina to be doing this. But he also knew how foolish Mina could be sometimes and yet how her determination astounded him. They sat on Lita's couch until Lita spoke up suddenly.
"Oh Kenshin, she's out there.......alone." Lita green eyes were filled with tears as Kenshin held her in a embrace close to him.
"She'll be fine. I'm sure." Kenshin lifted Lita's head to his own and placed a soft kiss onto her forehead after takes her long brown hair out of her face with his hand. Lita looked up at him, her face red and her eyes watery.
"Kenshin, we need to go look for her! We need too!" Lita jumped up from her seat and frantically searched for a coat. "We need to go! Come on Kenshin!" Lita was getting hysterical.
Kenshin went up to Lita and took her by her shoulders. "Lita please, don't get hysterical on me." Lita's face was streaming down tears, she was worked up and needed rest. Kenshin held her in his arms and let the tears flow. "Lita we can't go."
"But why!?!?!" Lita begged to go but they couldn't. Lita breathed heavily onto Kenshin.
"Mina was called, not everyone. We don't know why or what is going to happen but." Kenshin was interrupted when Recca banged on the door and barged into the room frantically.
"KENSHIN! I'VE GOT IT WE NEED TO GO!" Recca looked at Kenshin with a stern look almost forgetting Lita was there but there wasn't enough time to care.
Lita looked up at Kenshin. "Where are you going?" Lita wiped her face and Kenshin gazed into her eyes, smiling.
"I must leave but don't worry about it." Kenshin kissed Lita and walked out the door with Recca into the bright night of hell's fires. Lita ran to the door screaming for his return but Kenshin and Recca had disappeared.
( Mina )
Mina's eyes opened and she looks around the place. There was nothing but walls around her besides a desk and chair in one corner and a mini fridge in the other. Mina stood up off her chair and tried to find a way out but there were no windows. She looked to the door and tried to open it as many ways as she could think of but had no success. Mina's blond, stressed hair fell to her face, her blue eyes very bright and clear shining, her pink lips shivered with fear. Mina's hand grasped her heart crystal and she held it in the air. Her shaking mouth opened and she was about to transform when the door began to crack open. Mina's pale eyes turned to the door and her heart pumped through her chest hard. She quickly put her heart crystal back to her pocket without delay. The door slowly opened and Mina took a step back. She stared straight into the distance toward the door and screamed. "Who are you! What do you want!"
A low chuckle began to speak slowly. "Mina, I'm surprised you haven't figure it out." A deep, shallow voice told her as it began to walk towards her. "But, if I must know, I will show you." The dark figure, with a mask almost covering his whole face, snapped his fingers and a bright light came from outside the door. Mina heard yells in pain and shrieking of torture and her eyes widen as Amy was thrown into the room on her face.
"AMY!" Mina eyes widen as she looked onto her friend. Amy's blue hair was in her face as sweat dripped from her brow. She had been beaten and stripped to practically nothing, Amy's face bleeding and Mina noticed slashes on her back and blood stained clothes she was wearing. Amy looked up for a second and wiped some blood from her white pale face. One tear fell from her beaten face and onto her hand, as she couldn't find the energy to speak. But Mina could read her friend loud and clear of the sorrow and pain she was in. Amy gasped and dropped to the floor. Mina grew furious with rage and her heart grew sore with anger and she quickly up at the dark creature. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO AMY?!? YOU BASTARDS!" Mina's face was red and a sweatdrop fell down her face. "What have you done!" Mina begged under a low tone.
The tall dark figure laughed and looked at Mina's pathetic place. "Isn't it obvious, Can't you tell?" The evil coming closer to Mina yet laughed in delight.
Mina glared at it and scream. "Show yourself you son of a bitch!"
"Fine I will...soon, as soon as you see another present I brought you." The dark figure snapped his fingers again. "Bring the other slutty whore to me."
Mina's eyes opened as she heard in the distance. "Leave me alone! Stop it! Get off!" Mina's face red stern and her hands in fist. She looked out the door as Rei was thrown also to the floor forcefully. Mina gasped. "REI!" Rei laid on the floor also almost naked and totally beaten. Rei's black hair was bloody and clung to her slender body, Mina couldn't see Rei's eyes or her face. Rei looked over at Amy and made a small noise in anger. Rei got to her knees and tried to stand just to be thrown again to the ground by the creature. Rei on her hands and knees looked up at Mina. Mina stared at her friend, Rei's eyes black and deep, her lips chapped and bleeding, small drips of blood dripped down her forehead and it looked as though Rei had put up a fight.
Mina breathed heavily and looked at the creature. "Ok! Enough! Stop it and show me who you are! I DEMAND TO KNOW!" Mina screamed in frustration as she was about to hit him but held herself back, just to see who he really was. "No more games!" Mina glared at the darken man as he stood in front of her. Amy and Rei at his feet.
"Alright." The man stepped over to Mina and looked down on her. All Mina could see was a dark mask. "But you have to remove it." The man smirked showing his white teeth. He was defiantly human, Mina could tell. Mina stepped up to him and placed her hand on the mask. The mask only revealed his tender smooth lips and his nose. No eyes or hair or anything else could be seen. "Go on do it to me Mina!" He said in all seriousness to Mina as he licked his lips and grinned in satisfaction. Mina slowly pulled the mask of the face of the man, revealing his blond hair and his eyes closed. Mina looked at him in shock and he suddenly opened his eyes. His bright blue eyes were like waves of the sea and yet the like the fire of hell, both beauty and death. "Aren't you happy now Mina?"
Mina fought to hold back tears. "But.....why Zech's why?" Mina looked into his perfect blue eyes. Her heart sinking to the pit of her stomach.
Zech's stood tall and proud as he lovingly looked at Mina. "Mina my sweet." Zech's ran his hand across her face as she gazed at him. And their blues eyes each made contact. "Mina, we need the sailor scouts. And you have to give yourself to me or face the same as Rei and Amy. Besides you think I would choose you over Yanagi?" Zech's looked over at the door as a woman appeared in a long, form fitting, red dress. Yanagi's hair fell down to her side perfectly as her full breasts literally hung out of her dress. As Yanagi walked over, the movement of her legs revealed the slit was up to her hip. Her shining green eyes were full of evil. "Yanagi is perfect Mina, she has what we need." Zech's commented. Mina stared in amazement at Yanagi as she giggled.
Mina looked at Zech's her heart crushed at the sight of her friend. "Tell me you're aren't responsible for all this!"
"Of course it wasn't me alone baby, let me show you something." Zech's smirked and lead Mina to the mini fridge. Mina looked confused and looked back at Amy and Rei, both had passed out on the floor surrounded by their own blood. Mina held back her tears and turned around following Zech's through the secret passage in the mini fridge. Mina looked around at the room, so many test tubes, so many tanks, so many potions and books surrounded her. Then Mina's eye caught something. A certain 2 tanks on the other side of the room. One has a bright red crystal in it, the red crystal glowing brightly with fading fire. The 2nd was a bright blue crystal with a raging sea, but the sea was as calm as a cloud. "Mina, those are element crystals." Mina looked on in shock as she knew those were Rei's and Amy heart crystals. Mina tried to speak but Zech's cut her off. "Mina we need the sailor elements to complete our work. And now it's your turn, we need your element of love and soon we will have thunder and moon powers! And soon our work will complete once we combine these elements with Yanagi! Mina PREPARE TO DIE!" Zech's quickly turned around his eyes red as blood and he grabbed Mina by the throat. Mina gasping for air as she is held above the ground. "Soon, you will be MINE MINA AINO!"
( Lita at home )
Lita looked out the window of her apartment. Her eyes red from crying and she held a tissue to her pale face. She didn't know what to do, she had tried to call Rei, Amy and Serena but Amy and Rei didn't answer their phones and Serena was out somewhere. Suddenly without warning Sanosuke burst in through the door.
"LITA! WHERE'S MINA?!?!?!" Sanosuke ran in and to Lita, breathing heavily from all the running he had done. Lita stared at him and said shaking to death in fear.
"I......I don't know Sanosuke...."
"Damnit! Lita whatever you do stay home! You and the others are in great danger!" Sanosuke shouted as he ran to the door again.
"Wait Sano-chan what do you mean!" Lita cried at him.
"No time to explain I have to find Mina before it's too late!" Sanosuke rushed out the door into the brisk night air and Lita ran to the window again. Lita's heart pounded through her chest as she watch Sanosuke disappear into the night.
She whispered to herself. "Stay home? Who else is introuble?"
