To Protect Her

By Bobbin

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and characters do not belong to me, but since they ignored Darien so much, I get to play with him.

Growing Distant:

Raye had invited Rini to come by this afternoon, so I walked her over. When I heard Serena's voice saying good-bye to Raye, I left before she could see me. If I don't face her, I can't hurt her. (Face it, Dare, you are really afraid of being hurt and of relenting.) I was a few blocks away when I felt Rini in danger. I transformed and returned. Mars was down and one of those wicked sisters had Rini pinned. I attacked and got her away to safety. The other Scouts were coming and they could handle the one sister.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I found out that the one sister, Katze, has been turned from the Dark Moon, and been healed. Unlike the monsters they use, the commanders are human. If we can win by changing them from the inside, that would be good, but I don't think Rubeus will change. We will have to defeat him and his powers are great.

I noticed I wrote 'we', but what do I do? I know my duty is to protect the little princess from the future and Princess Serenity, but why can't I love her? If I avoid her as Sailor Moon until she really needs help, I fear I will one day be too late.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Another sister has been turned. Birdie found out Mercury's identity and challenged her to a chess match- her rules. For each piece Mercury lost, she would be partially encased in ice. When the other Scouts showed up, they were enclosed in an ice bubble. By the time I got there, Mercury could hardly move and the other sisters had shown up to be in on the kill. Looking at the board, I recognized the spell from my time with the Negaverse, and I knew how to break it. All it took was a strategically thrown charged rose, and all the Scouts were released from the spell. In the face of the odds, the other two sisters abandoned Birdie. All the while, Mercury had been playing a game of her own, explaining to Birdie the value of friendship, and it worked. She gave up and was healed.

I don't want to think of that evil time when I had been captured by the Negaverse, but if I can remember anything that would help us now, I must try.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to try to remember any thing I might have learned while I was captive in the Negaverse. When I left the hospital, I had few personal effects, among them were four stones I don't recall having before: jadeite, nephrite, zoisite, and malachite. The four generals.





AN: Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I've been working on my DBZ story and kinda forgot I had this one going. This is a very short set-up chapter. The next one is long and explores my version of the origens of Beryl. I know, what does she have to so with this story? Read and find out.
