The Quest: Fighting Love
Chapter 6
The night was dark now. Clubs were scattered everywhere on the
streets of downtown Manhattan. Nightlife began.
*So this is why New York is called "the city that never sleeps"*
Mamoru thought as Serena and Mina dragged him into one particular club. A
large neon sign that flashes "Doom the Gloom" hung outside in the cool
night air. After paying, they started to mingle with the crowd.
Serena's sharp eyes immediately spotted a suspicious figure. A man in his
late twenties with SILVER hair and frigid gray eyes had been watching Mina
the entire time they were here. *Gotcha slime!* she thought angrily as
she spotted the Negaverse icon on the chain around his neck. A quick plan
formed in her mind as she danced her way towards Mina.
Pretending to tell Mina about a hot guy she saw, she whispered, "I've got
the slimeball. His eye's on you. Nine o'clock to your right. Silver
hair. He's from Negaverse."
Mina's eyes flashed with comprehension and she pretended to giggle and
whisper back something about Mamoru. "I'm on it. Tell Mamoru to be ready
just in case."
Serena laughed as a sign of acknowledgment and started towards Mamoru.
Poor Mamoru had never seen so many pushy women in his entire life.
The women that gathered around him had taken to slapping his butt and
feeling his chest. Serena nearly laughed at the uncomfortable expression
on his face as he tried his best to look like he was enjoying the
attention. Then, he spotted her looking at him with amusement. His teeth
clenched in anger. *If looks could kill…* thought Serena. *Better rescue
him before he kills me…*
Wading through the small crowd of middle aged females, she
announced good-naturedly that he was taken. "Alright girls, scram! I
paid good money for him!" She chuckled as the women scattered leaving her
with a blushing Mamoru.
"Did you have to say that?!?" he roared in his embarrassment. Thankfully,
the music swallowed his loud roar and Serena blocked his angry face from
view.
*When I get my hands on her…privately* he thought as he tried to
decide which way he should use to kill her. Then an idea came to his
mind… *later* he promised himself as he grinned slyly.
His grin went unnoticed as she leaned closer whispered in his ear.
To an outsider, it looked like they were making out. Catcalls and
whistles came from several directions. "We found the bastard. Mina's
taking care of him. We're backup."
Mamoru quickly scanned the area and saw her with the silver haired
man. For some reason, he looked very familiar. Anyhow, he touched his
lips to her ear and whispered back, "I see them. She's making progress."
*This is so silly.* she thought as she felt a hard jolt when
Mamoru touched his lips to her ear. Her heart was beating more quickly
and she felt flushed and distracted.
Mamoru's lips curved as he noticed Serena's sudden quickening
pulse. *So she does feel something…* "Serena, did you hear what I just
said?" he asked gently.
"What???" she responded intelligently.
*Looks like, I'm making progress, too*
Meanwhile…
Putting on her most flirtatious smile, she approached the silver
haired man in the corner.
*Mina… my love…* Malachite watched as his millennia old love walk straight
to him. *Still the most beautiful goddess of love…*
Mina had to fight to keep her jaw off the ground. Now that she moved
closer, she clearly saw his face with all of its' fascinating angles and
beautiful features. *Concentrate, Mina! He's the enemy!… God, he's
gorgeous!*
Stopping directly in front of him, she asked, "May I join you?" Her heart
was beating crazily. *This is just an act… This is just an act… This is
just an act…* she chanted to herself.
"Of course, it's not everyday that a beautiful woman asks for my company,"
he flirted charmingly.
Mina blushed with pleasure as he introduced himself, "I'm Malachite."
"Call me Mina," she replied as she mentally kicked herself. *No real
names remember?*
"Care to dance, Mina?"
"Love to," she answered enthusiastically.
As they made their way out onto the dance floor, he quietly asked, "So,
what do you want to know, Sailor Venus?"
Her face dropped in shock.
Before she could recover, he took a folded piece of paper from his pocket
and handed it to her smiling sadly. He planted a kiss on her forehead and
disappeared into the crowd.
Slowly unfolding the paper, she read:
My dearest Mina,
I know you don't remember me. Perhaps it's for the best. You and
I are on the same side though we're playing in opposite courts. Just know
that you're loved. I sincerely hope that our paths won't cross in this
war. If they do… do what you did a millennium ago, afterall, duty before
love is the destiny of all leaders. Here is the information you need.
Farewell, my goddess of love… Find one who will make you happy and never
remember me.
1. The Negaverse is in an alternate dimension between the balcony and the
thirteenth floor. The only way to get there is by finding the rest of
sailor senshi… Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Mercury will find a way in, but the trip will take an enormous amount of
energy.
2. Jadite is the current general that has been sent after you. His
weakness is fire. Find Mars quickly for that is her domain.
3. The Negaverse is the alien source. Queen Beryl must be destroyed.
4. Find the legendary Moon Princess. She is the key. I cannot interfere
with destiny…but the princess is close. Unrevealed, but here.
I hope this helped… Good bye.
Dazedly, she slowly walked towards Mamoru and Serena as they rushed to her
side.
"What's wrong?" asked Serena worriedly.
Mina just handed her the paper that Malachite had given her. Mamoru and
she quickly read the letter.
They finished reading as a gloomy silence fell over the group. Tears
trailed down Mina's cheeks as she felt an infinite sadness overcome her.
"Let's go, we got what we were looking for," said Mina quietly as she
turned to leave. The trio started their way home.
A figure stepped out of the shadows as they left. Tears spilled
onto Malachite's face as he said goodbye forever to his one and only love.
