Mommy Dearest

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, so please don't sue me.

I ran and ran for what seemed like forever. I had no idea where my destination was: I just knew I had to get away. I now understood why Serena kept right on running. I didn't blame her. It was the only way to get away. I ran down a street and turned at the corner. I, then, hit something, hard.

"Ouch!" I pouted as my head hit the concrete.

"Hey, watch it!" Scolded a familiar voice.

"You watch it!" I shouted as tears continued to run furiously down my cheeks. That's when I heard the familiar person gasp.

"Rini?!" Asked the voice, surprised. I looked up.

"L-Lita?" I asked, equally surprised.

"Oh man, Rini! I'm so sorry!" Lita apologized as she helped me up.

"It's okay. Besides, it was my fault anyway. I wasn't paying attention," I explained, "Well, see ya!" I slowly turned to run again.

"Hold it!" Lita said as she grabbed my arm to keep me from leaving.

"Lita, I have to go!" I shouted as tears sped down my cheeks. Lita saw it and let me go.

"What's your hurry, kid? And why are you crying?" Lita asked.

I sighed. It was going to be a long evening. "I guess I'll tell you." I muttered in a voice that she could only hear.

Lita thought that we should go to the playground to talk. We sat on the swings.

"Now, what's up?" Asked Lita.

"Have you talked to Luna, lately?" I asked.

"Not since she told us that Serena ran from Darien. She also mentioned that you contacted her by phone. Why?" Lita asked.

"Then Luna hasn't told you." I sighed.

"What is it, Rini? What's happened?" Lita asked in a scared voice.

"It's all my fault that Serena ran off." I said as tears stung my eyes. I then, explained every gruesome detail. When I was done, Lita sighed.

"Oh Rini. You have gone too far this time." Lita frowned.

"Yes, I know. I can't keep my big mouth shut." I cried. "I have ruined my poor mother's life."

"Rini, no offense, but you need to control your temper. Your foolish pride is getting in the way of your apologies." Lita scolded.

"Tell me something I don't know. I'm a horrible witch to Serena. I admit it." I sobbed.

"Well, I won't lie to you. You are awful to Serena. Serena is very sensitive, and both you and Darien really hurt her this time." Lita said crossly.

"I know that, and I'm very sorry. But now, I can't find Serena." I whimpered.

"Well, you're not the only one searching for her, so don't worry." Lita answered.

"Is that why you're here?" I asked.

"Yup. Serena is my best friend. Luna's stupid if she thinks that I'm just gonna sit back and do nothing." Lita said with a determined look on her face.

"Darien's still searching too." I declared.

"Good." Said Lita. She stood up.

"What are you going to do, now?" I asked.

"I'm going to walk you home. It's getting late." Lita said. I hadn't realized until now, that the sun was gone from the sky. It was getting late.

"No, I want to continue searching." I said.

"What if Serena's parents get worried about you?" Lita asked, slightly annoyed.

"I don't care, I have to find her!" I shouted.

Lita scoffed and began walking. "Come on, Rini." Lita sighed.

I smiled. Maybe with Lita's help, we could find her.

"Hey, Lita?" I asked.

"What is it, Rini?" Lita asked as we were walking down the street.

"Are you angry with me?" I asked, nervous to find out the answer.

"Not angry, Rini. Just…disappointed." Lita said thoughtfully.

"I understand." I said sadly.

"You know, if it weren't for Serena; I don't know where I'd be." Lita sighed.

"Same here." I answered.

We both sighed, and then searched again. It was quiet. Too quiet. Neither of us uttered a word to the other. We quietly searched every alley and corner. But we found nothing. I was beginning to wonder how long the quietness would last, when a beeping sound broke the silence.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! Lita immediately pushed a button on her communicator.

"Yeah?" Lita asked frantically.

"Lita, we need you down here, immediately! We're in some serious trouble!" I heard Raye shout on the thing.

"Right! I'm on it!" Lita said furiously as she turned the communicator off. "Great. One heck of a time to attack us." Lita muttered.

"Jupiter Star Power!" Lita shouted as she transformed.

"Moon Cosmic Dream Action!" I shouted as I transformed. (A/N: No, Pegasus isn't in this one, but I wanted Rini to be a super-sailor in this story, so bear with me, okay?)

"Mini-Moon, I don't think you should come." Said Sailor Jupiter.

"Too bad. I'm going." I said angrily.

"Fine." Jupiter sighed and began to rush toward the scene. I took off after her.

We finally reached the site of the attack. Sailor Mars, Venus, and Mercury were already there. They were all on the ground. They looked like they were in a lot of pain.

"Oh no, guys!" Jupiter shouted as she rushed to their sides. I did the same.

Mercury flinched. "Thank goodness you're here." She said as she looked at us. "But we need Sailor Moon."

"That might not be possible." I said as tears began to form in my eyes again.

"Serena is still missing." Lita explained. Then, all of the girls got back on their feet and glared.

I turned around to see what they were all glaring at. I suddenly got a glance at the ugly youma. It looked like a green Cyclops with horns.

"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Mars shouted, but when she attacked it, it didn't even flinch.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" Mercury shouted, and again, no progress.

"Venus Love And Beauty Shock!" Venus shouted, and still, no effect.

The youma simply laughed. "You can't hurt me." It sneered.

"We'll see about that!" Jupiter cried, "Jupiter Oak Evolution!"

The ugly youma laughed. "Is it my turn now?" It asked.

Everyone grimaced. Suddenly, the youma began to glow a dark green. Then, bolts of electricity shot out of its body and hit the girls.

"No, not again!" Sailor Venus cried.

Then, they all collapsed in pain. I couldn't take it anymore. No more watching on the sidelines for me!

"Hey, ugly!" I called. The youma looked straight at me.

"Get ready for the fight of your life!" I shouted. Then I got out my wand.

"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" I shouted as pink hearts began to attack the youma.

The youma fell over (anime style). "Is that the best that you can come up with?" It asked.

"Want more?" I asked nervously. The youma busted out laughing.

"Oh my, I'm scared now." It taunted.

"You'll see." I smirked. "Super Moon Kick!" I shouted as I kicked the youma. .

"Yes!" I shouted joyfully as it fell over in pain. I began to celebrate.

"Rini, watch out!" I heard Sailor Jupiter scream.

I turned just in time to see the youma gathering energy for another electricity attack. I began to scream and closed my eyes to brace myself for the pain I was about to experience. But right before the lightning bolts hit me, someone pushed me out of the way. I got up, shakily.

"Not so fast!" A familiar voice shouted.

A/N: Well, how was it? I think it's one of the worst chapters

I've written so far. Oh well, I'll just have to make the

next chapter better. Did you like that cruel cliffhanger?

Don't worry. Chapter 7 should be up tomorrow. Thanks to

all the reviewers out there! You guys are really great! And

be sure to read "The Fate That Never Ends." I wrote it

for Rini-haters everywhere. Oh, and Firefaery: I'd be

honored to read your fic when you get it up! Well,

remember to R&R! Sayonara for now!
