"Bye Sakura! I'll see you later!" yelled Rini waving goodbye as Sakura, Madison, Mei-Lin and Li left. "They seem like nice kids." Said Ami watching them leave. "Yeah they do" said Lita waving. "Hmm, yeah I guess." Said Rei uncertainly. "Why do you say that Rei?" asked Mina puzzled. "Nothing, it's just that, something is not right with them." said Rei. "Rei your just a pessimist." Said Serena shaking her head. "Yeah Rei they seemed nice to me, not wrong." Said Rini not looking at Rei. "Yeah maybe your right." Sighed Rei.
"See Li it wasn't so bad, we made some new friends." Said Mei-Lin. "Well yeah YOU did." Said Li. "Well Rini was really nice" said Sakura thoughtfully. "Yeah she was, I wonder where they're from anyway? I've never seen them before" asked Madison. "Yeah well, they ARE in high school, well all except Rini." Suggested Sakura.
High above the trees five black crystals spun in mid-air. They seemed to be searching for something. Seconds later they split. One zoomed toward the Tokyo train station. It zoomed toward a guy with short brown hair. The guy suddenly clutched his heart as the crystal hit him and disappeared. His head jerked up and his eyes glowed red as he turned to leave. The second raced toward the park four miles from the Temple. It picked out another guy. The same happened to him. He turned and walked slowly to the Temple.
The third quickly traveled toward Sakura and her friends. It came and hovered above them for awhile. "Hey do you sense som-." Li was cut off as the Crystal disappeared behind him. He stumbled to the ground. "Li! What's wrong!" screamed Mei-Lin. Li looked toward the ground as his eyes glowed red. "Li..."Said Madison uncertainly. "I'm fine" he said getting up. Sakura let out a sigh of relief, but noticed something in his eyes. Sakura was about to say something but the look was gone in an instant. 'I must have imagined it thought Sakura with a shake of her head. They started off again.
The fourth and fifth flew toward the temple. One went toward the porch where the scouts were and the other went into the temple. The first hovered for a while behind Darien, but seconds later disappeared. Darien groaned a fell over on his side. "Darien! What's wrong!" screamed Serena jumping up. Serena knelt down to Darien and put a hand on his back. Darien swatted it away as his eyes, too, glowed red. Serena jumped back surprised. 'He had NEVER done that before' she thought biting her lip. Darien slowly got up. "I'm sorry Serena, I didn't meant that, sorry" said Darien apologetically. Serena smiled. "It's ok." She said. The scouts all looked stunned and worried about Darien. Darien saw the look in their eyes and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me." The next crystal whizzed silently into an open door. It struck a sleeping male a couple years younger than Darien. He just murmured as his eyes opened and glowed but later closed as he fell back to sleep.
"Ok I'll see you all later!" yelled Madison happily as she walked thorough her door. "Bye Madison!" yelled Sakura. Sakura, Mei-Lin, and Li walked toward Sakura's house. Li's hand, unnoticed by Mei-Lin and Sakura, was shaking violently. "Mei-Lin..." he said desperately as though he was having trouble breathing. "Come with me." He said grabbing her hand a pulling her into the trees. "Ok..." said Mei-Lin, puzzled. "Ok then well, I'll just wait here until your back." exclaimed Sakura dumfounded. "Li? What are you doing?" asked Mei-Lin as Li pulled her deeper into the trees. Li did not respond but stopped. He violently grabbed Mei-Lin's shoulder. "Li, what the?!" yelped Mei-Lin. Mei-Lin suddenly shut her eyes and fainted. Li let go of her and caught her in his arms. He looked at her shoulder. There, was a black heart with a green serpent twisted around it. 'Good' he thought looking at his own shoulder to see the same symbol. He quickly covered his and hers symbols as Mei-Lin woke up. Her eyes glowed a green color instead of red. Mei-Lin and Li quickly walked back to Sakura. "What were you doing?" she asked. Mei-Lin looked toward Li and smirked. "You'll know soon enough." She said with a slightly evil grin. "What is THAT supposed to mean?" asked Sakura getting uncomfortable. Li just grinned and did not respond. Sakura had a bad feeling about this.
BRING! BRING! Rei quickly ran to pick up the phone. "Hello? Cherry Hill Temple, Rei speaking" she said. "Hi. Is Ami there?" said a blank voice. "Um yeah. Actually she is." She Rei shrugging at Ami and giving her the phone. Ami looked puzzled. "This is Ami. Who is this?" she asked. "Hi Ami. This is Greg." Ami nearly dropped the phone. "Greg?" she exclaimed. Serena's jaw dropped, no way! Ami ran into Rei's room and slammed the door. Mina was in shock as she got up and went to look in the keyhole, quickly followed by Rei and Lita. Minute's later Ami came out with what was obviously a smile. "Oooo what he say!" asked Rini jumping up from the couch she was sitting on. "He's coming down tomorrow!" She said gleefully. "Yay!" yelled Serena.
"Bye guys! See ya tomorrow!" yelled Serena with a wave walking down the steps tugging on Darien's arm who's other arm was occupied by Rini. "Bye Serena!" everyone shouted as she rounded the corner. Serena, Darien, and Rini walked toward Serena's house. On the way there Rini spotted a park. "Oh can we go Darien please!" she pleaded. "Absolutely not!" said Serena with a shake of her head. "Yes we can." said Darien blankly. Rini's eyes lit up as she hugged Darien and ran toward the swings. "Darien!" protested Serena but she was too late. Serena looked into Darien's eyes. She jumped a little. His eyes seemed very blank and empty. Darien walked over to a bench and sat down. Serena strolled over and sat next to him. Darien put his arm around Serena. His hand landed on her shoulder. Serena felt a burning sensation in her arm but suddenly fainted. Rini sat gleefully on the swing not noticing. Serena suddenly woke up very quickly her eyes fluttering open to reveal a green glow. She looked at Darien shoulder and saw a black heart with a blue serpent around it. "Rini it's time to go." Yelled Serena blankly. "OK!" yelled Rini running over and grabbing Darien's hand.
The black figure slithered through the shadows laughing. "Well I have the descendants of Clow Reed and the Moon Princess and the Prince of the Earth." It laughed. "Now the rest will follow...." it cackled.
