PLEASURE (Part 4) by Sievert Dinar
Disclaimer - Sailormoon is owned by a lot of people, most of whom
are not me, so don't get all worked up about my using the characters
in ways they weren't meant. I'm just a common or garden fanfic
writer without a hope in this dark and cruel world. Maybe.

This fanfic is, essentially, a horror story, and contains scenes
that could be regarded as disturbing to people. I dare suggest that
you behave responsibly whilst reading this.
Usagi had introduced Miki to as many people as possible, which
seemed, to Ami, Makoto and Minako, to be almost too much for the
girl. She DID seem to be of a more fragile nature, which was
understandable, considering all that she had been through. If Usagi
seemed to notice, though, she showed no sign.
Mind you, Miki didn't really seem to mind the whirlwind that
was Usagi. Indeed, as the day wore on, the girl was opening up
more, and they started to see the core of her gentle personality.
"And this..." Usagi gestured towards the school library.
"...Is where Ami-chan spends her every waking moment."
"I do not." Ami protested, trying her best to sound offended.
"I'll have you know there isn't a book left in there that I have not
read, so there really is no point."
Miki stared at Ami. "You've read everything?" She asked,
incredulously, her tone as soft as ever. Ami found the voice almost
soothing to listen to. They all did, for some reason.
"She's joking." Makoto patted Ami on the back. "It doesn't
happen all that often. We've only just gotten used to the
possibility, ourselves."
"Mako-chan!" Ami bopped Makoto one over the head, the taller
girl putting up a hand in deference.
"Gomen." The tall girl giggled.
Miki studied them, thoughtfully, as they ribbed each other,
then turned to Usagi and Minako, who were already planning the boys
they would introduce Miki to. "How long have you all been friends?"
Minako's ears picked up.
"Oh, about three or four years." The blond smiled. "Seems
like forever, though." Usagi nudged her in the ribs for that one.
Ignoring her, she went on... "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just..."
Before she could say any more, the library door opened, and
two girls, carrying books in their arms, bumped into Usagi. "Oops."
The first of them peered over her pile at them. "Sorry about that."
Usagi giggled. "No, it was my fault. I was standing in the
way." She turned from the girls to Miki, gesturing towards her.
"Hey, have you two met Miki-chan yet?"
"No." the second girl, a short, mousy figure with ponytails,
turned to the girl. "She's the new girl, isn't she?"
"The one that transferred from that horrible Chika-Rikyuu...."
The first muttered, then managed to hold out a hand from underneath
the pile. "Hi, I'm Wakabatsu Kaede." Miki looked at the
outstretched hand for a second, as if not sure what to do with it,
then took it.
"Mahou Miki." She said softly as she bowed.
Kaede gestured to her smaller counterpart with a nod of the
head as she took hold of her books with both hands again. "The
little one here is Arino Tomomi." Miki nodded at Tomomi, who seemed
about to repeat the gesture, but thought better of it as it would
have meant scattering her pile of books everywhere.
"Where are you going with all of those things?" Minako
queried, tapping the top of Kaede's pile of books.
"Down to the storeroom. Agano-sensei is cleaning some of the
old stuff out of the library again." Kaede sighed. "So I wouldn't
go in there if I were you, or else you might get roped in as we
were."
"Thanks for the warning." Usagi giggled, nervously, then
placed an arm around Miki, guiding her away from the doors. "I
think we should check out the science lab."
"But I thought you hated science." Ami raised an eyebrow.
"You find all those dead animal displays and anatomical models
creepy."
"Yes." Usagi nodded. "But it's better than walking into
Agano-sensei during one of her manic moods." And with that, Usagi
scooped Miki away as she bolted for the nearest exit. The others
had large sweatdrops rolling down the sides of their heads as they
watched them go.
Kaede opened the door to the storeroom, which was in the
basement of the main school building. As usual, the damp, musty
smell of rot and age washed over her as she picked up the books she
had placed on the bench outside.
"I hope Usagi isn't getting carried away with Miki." Tomomi
muttered as she strode into the dark room, searching for somewhere
to put her pile of books.
"Usagi-chan and Minako-chan together." Kaede followed her in.
"The pair together will wear the poor girl out."
"And she doesn't look like the overactive kind to me." Tomomi
sighed, turning around to her friend. "Switch the light on, will
you? I can't see anything down here."
"Hold on." Kaede dumped her books upon the nearest flat
space, which happened to be the old monitor desk. Papers and dust
scattered in the air, getting into Kaede's face and nostrils, making
her cough as she tried to wave it away. "Damn, they just don't keep
this place clean enough, I tell you..."
And then the door shut behind them. Tomomi dropped her books
in surprise, onto her feet. She let out a cry of pain and fell over
herself, landing against one of the filing cabinets with an audible
clunk. Kaede turned to where she heard Tomomi fall.
"Tomomi? Are you alright?"
"Yeah." The smaller girl said from the floor. "The door
closing like that just surprised me." She let out an exclamation of
pain as she rubbed her side. "Can you please switch on the light?
I can't see a damned thing in here."
Kaede chuckled. "Why? Are you afraid of the dark, or
something?"
"No, you silly girl. I dropped the books all over the floor.
I'll have to see them to be able to pick them up."
Kaede shook her head and reached over to where she thought the
light switch was, flicking it on when her hand found purchase.
Nothing happened. "Bugger."
"What is it?" Tomomi picked herself up from the floor,
dusting herself off.
"The light is dead." Kaede gave the switch a couple of flicks
to demonstrate. Tomomi groaned.
"Great. You would have thought Fumie and Kisae would have
said something about it when they were sent down here." Tomomi
paused. "Where are they?"
"Dunno." Kaede sighed and opened the door, letting in light
from outside. She heard Tomomi let out a strangled gasp and turned
to see what the smaller girl was getting all worked up about.
Neither of them had seen it when they had first entered the
storeroom as their eyes had not become used to the darkness. The
entire back wall was covered in what looked like paint. Dark,
splotchy paint. Kaede stepped up beside Tomomi, who had a hand
across her mouth, feeling ill.
"Is that..?" Kaede swallowed. "It can't be, can it?"
"Lets get out of here." Tomomi squeaked. "I hate this place.
I've always hated this place. Everyone says it's haunted."
"Don't be stupid." Kaede stepped forward. "It's just..."
She touched the liquid and ran it between her fingers. "...Paint?"
She backed away, placing a hand across Tomomi as she did so.
"You're right. I think we should get..."
There was an explosion of light and colour in the room, and
both girls were surrounded by strange and macabre shapes. They
gripped one another, terrified.
Then there was a grinding noise, and both girls screamed. A
flash of red, showering the storeroom, which was then sucked back
into the swirling vortex with the rest of the liquid on the back
wall, then silence.
There was nobody in the storeroom when it was over.
