Chapter 10 - Sailor Wildfire?!?

It had been a few days since the Sailor Senshi had moved into the temple and they were already driving Anubis crazy. Rei stayed by him most of the time, reading the flames. The other girls, though, were a little different. Usagi and Minako were either playing video games or Usagi was burning cookies in the kitchen while baking with Makoto. It was just like home to Usagi, besides the fact that Shingo wasn't there to pick on her. She was very happy, the little brat, ChibiUsa, wasn't that bad. She had good taste in clothes and food and Ryo took them out quite often. It was another school day and, as usual, Usagi was running late.

"Usagi-chan!!" ChibiUsa shouted, pulling the older blond out the door. "We have to hurry or we're gonna be late!!"

"Hold on!!" Usagi shouted, pulling on her left shoe. She picked up her bag and took off for the school, followed by ChibiUsa. She ran past ChibiUsa due to the fact her school was farther and she would get another detention if she were late again. She turned the corner and ran into someone, falling flat on her butt. "OWE!!" She cried, tears forming in her eyes.

"Watch where you're going!" A familiar voice shouted. Usagi opened her eyes and looked up at the form of a man.

"Mamo-chan?" She asked, struggling to her feet. He was already gone, though.

"Hey Usa-chan!" She heard a voice, she looked toward the gates and saw Ami and Makoto waving to her. "Matte! You're gonna be late!!" Makoto shouted. Usagi stood up and ran into the school yard, hurrying to her homeroom class.

"I'm here!" She cried as she ran into the room, taking her seat in front of Ryo. She collapsed on her desk, her breathing racing.

"Ohayoo, Usa-chan," Ryo said, kissing Usagi lightly on the cheek. "Glad you made it on time."

"Me too, if I'm late one more time, I'll have detention all next week too." Usagi said, her shoulders still heaving.

"Quiet now class." The teacher started.

"Why does school have to be so hard?" Usagi complained as she sat under a tree with Ryo during lunch. "I failed another test."

"If you want, I can tutor you." Ryo suggested. Usagi smiled and happily accepted his offer.

"And this time, I'll be serious!" Usagi said, smiling. Her smile turned to a frown when she heard a scream. "Not now!" She cried, standing up.

"Come on!" Ryo said, grabbing her hand. She followed him out of the school yard, heading toward the scream. They rounded the corner and saw a little girl looking strangely like ChibiUsa being squeezed to death by a youma.

"Armor of Purity, tao JIN!!" Usagi shouted as she transformed into her armor.

"Armor of WildFire, tao JIN!!" Ryo shouted, transforming as well.

"Hold it right there!!" Usagi shouted, jumping in front of the youma. "You let that girl go right now!" She demanded, feeling anger well up inside.

"Usa-chan!" The girl shouted. She was dressed in red and pink and had some sort of armor mixed with a sailor fuku. Ryo pulled the swords from their sheath and charged at the youma, managing to free the little girl.

"Wilfire INFERNO!!" The girl shouted, fire forming between her hands that she hurled at the youma a moment later. "I am Sailor Wilfire!" She explained, striking Usagi's pose.

"ChibiUsa-chan?" Usagi questioned.

"Hai, Usa-chan," She said smiling at the elder woman. "Give me a hand all right?"

"You got it!" Usagi said, her staff appearing in her hands. "White Cosmic RAINSTORM!!"

"Flare Up NOW!!"

"Wildfire INFERNO!!" The three attacks hit the youma at the same time and the youma disintegrated, leaving a pile of dust on the ground.

"Very good, Usako," A familiar voice said. "You're stronger than I imagined you would be here. My master will have you for himself, though, so I wouldn't go making any promises I can't keep." He said, disappearing a moment later. Usagi turned to Sailor Wildfire, a stern look on her face.

"Why didn't you tell us you were a Sailor Senshi?!" Usagi demanded, transforming out of her armor.

"Well… Puu told me not to tell you right away. Besides, I'm not totally a Sailor Senshi, my fuku has armor too so I'm part Ronin Warrior." ChibiUsa explained.

"We'd better get back to class before they notice we're gone," Usagi said, taking Ryo's hand. "Do you need us to walk you back, ChibiUsa-chan?"

"Iie, I'll be fine." ChibiUsa said, smiling brightly. Usagi smiled back and walked with Ryo back into the school yard.

"Hey Ryo, where were you guys?" A guy that Usagi didn't recognize asked as he ran up to them. "You two were probably… making out." He said, winking at Ryo. Usagi started to blush as did Ryo.

"Iie, we were just talking." Usagi said, still blushing. The guy leaned over to whisper something in Ryo's ear that Usagi didn't hear. She saw his blush deepen as he gently pulled her along toward the school.

"What did he say?" Usagi asked, curious as to why Ryo was blushing so much.

"It was nothing." He said, kissing her forehead lightly.

****

"She so beautiful… those eyes are… exquisite…" A man was mumbling as he looking down at a picture of Princess Serenity. "I can't wait to make you mine," He said as an evil smirk spread across his lips. "Endymion, I grow impatient, bring me the princess at once!" He commanded.

"Hai, my lord." Endymion said, bowing before his master.

****

"Usa-chan!" Rei yelled, catching up with Usagi, Ryo, and ChibiUsa. Those three seemed to spend every moment together. They looked like a family. "Matte!"

"What is it Rei-chan?" Usagi asked when the raven-haired girl ran up to them breathing heavily. She was wearing her temple robe with the red pants and white top. "Is something wrong?" She asked, seeing the worry in Rei's eyes.

"It's… it's Anubis-san. They took him!" Rei cried, falling to her knees. Usagi dropped to her side, supporting her weight.

"What do you mean?!? Who took him?!?" Usagi demanded.

"Endymion…" Rei said before passing out. Usagi noticed a large gash on Rei which was leaking a great amount of blood and realized that she'd barely managed to get away.
