Chapter 2










The flower shop had been closed, due to the disappointment of the girls wanting to come and see the guys.


"What do you think happened?" asked a boy with medium brown hair and eyes.


"She was kidnapped but, what for?" asked Ken in disbelief.


"I think Schwartz did it to piss us off," said Youji lighting up a cigarette


"Would Schwartz do that Omi?"


"Who knows. They are capable of anything. Do you think that might have killed her yet? You know that she knows a lot of confidential things from her job. Are they after that?"


"I say we find them and see if they have her."


"Are you with us Ran?" They looked toward a man with red hair and eyes. He walked toward them.


"You're going to get us killed. If they have her, they'd try to use her to get us."


"I don't care. That's one of our friends Ran. You'd do anything for your sister. Why not here?" asked Omi. He just left them. They looked at the phone suddenly ringing. Omi picked it up.


"Hello?"


"Omi! We've filed the report for Makoto missing. Do you think that you could help Ami determine what drug was used? For some odd reason, she doesn't know what it is," spoke Minako.


"Sure thing. Anything else that you girls found out?"


"Yeah. Rei was reading her fire and she saw these four dark shadows appear on the wall. She also said that Makoto is hurt badly and there's nothing we can do for her right now. Oh god! This is so frustrating! Once I get my hands on them---"


"Do you want us to come over to the temple?"


"Yeah! That's were we are with Mamoru too! We'll talk everything completely over, okay?"


"Sure. Bye."


"Chow!"


"So?" asked Ken.


"They'll explain everything once we get to the temple. Get Ran and lets go!"

Her emerald eyes opened, looking at the dim light that peeked through the shades. She felt the softness of a pillow against her head and the warmth of the blanket hugging her body. She looked up to see a figure sitting in a chair next to the bed. She slowly sat up, ignoring the pain throughout her body.


"All this could be over if you just tell us what we ask for."


"I told you." She stopped. Her lip was going to split open once more. She didn't want that. No more pain.


"No you didn't." Her thoughts were racing like someone was helping them to.


What if he's right? Does he just want to help the senshi? Is that so bad? But, what about all the pain he caused me? Is he going to make it stop. Will he? Oh man. What am I thinking?


"Why do you want to know the senshi?"


"We just want to help them. That's all. We're not going to hurt them."


"Then why did you hurt me?" There was a pause for a moment.


"Why didn't you simply answer the questions?"


"Why didn't you just ask me instead of sneaking up on me?"


"That's the way we do things here. Are you going to tell me or would you like to tell Farfarello?" She cringed at that name and shook her head. She thought for a moment. Thinking things through.


"I don't know anything," she stated once more. Silence was all that greeted her. She relaxed for a moment, relaxing her mind and letting down her guard.


Ami! Find someone with the name Craw---


don't think that's a good idea. Makoto gasped once she heard Schuldich's voice. She looked at him wearily.


"You're not normal. Who are you?"


"I think we could find that friend of yours...Ami as it?"


"You touch any of my friends and I will make your life a living hell!"


"I'll give you until this afternoon to think things over and then I will let Farfarello have you once again."

Ami and Omi worked on the results while the others talked.


"What do you exactly think happened?" asked Ken.


"Someone came up from behind and got her. How else?" answered Rei.


"Wouldn't she sense it though?" asked Minako.


"She could have, couldn't she?" asked Usagi. Ami quickly came in with a worried look on her face.


"Makoto spoke to me!" Everyone quickly paid attention to her.


"What did she say?!" asked Minako with wide eyes.


"Tell us!" Usagi pushed Minako down. Rei pushed her down.


"Now!"


"She said to look up as much information on someone with the name Craw. She was cut off by this male voice telling her that wasn't a good idea."


"Crawford." They looked up at the voice to see Ran standing there, leaning against the wall.


"You know him?" asked all the five girls in illusion. Ken stood up and looked at the other two.


"We should get going. We have things to do."


"Like what?" asked Minako raising an eye brow.


"Don't worry. We'll help get Makoto back. She's our friend too you know," said Omi walking out of, following Youji. Ken turned and looked at Ran whom left before him.


"They're hiding things," said Rei.


"They always do," said Minako.


"Well, what are we going to do?"


"I don't know. Rei, what did you see in your reading?" asked Ami.


"Pain. Torture. Life. The orders play in my mind like a puzzle. I don't know what to make of it. That's all that I could get out of it. Ami, did Makoto sound like she was in pain once the signal reached you?"


"She sounded weak. I could barely hear the signal. I say that the senshi need to follow our friends."


"What friends?" asked Usagi. Rei hit her in the back of the head.


"Ken, Omi, Youji and Ran! Duh!" Usagi rubbed her head.


"You should have said so in the first place. Lets transform and see what we find."


"Venus Eternal Crystal Power..."


"Mercury Eternal Crystal Power..."


"Mars Eternal Crystal Power...."


"Moon Eternal Power....."


"Make-Up!"


With a flash of different lights, the women stood in their senshi uniforms, ready for battle. Quickly, they ran out of the temple and stopped.


"Alright. We'll all have to go in different directions. Just be careful. Tell us if you find any traces of them," said Mercury.


"Right!" They quickly went out in different directions.

Youji lighted up his cigarette and let the smoke out slowly.


"Are we going after them like that?" he asked.


"Of course. I'm not going to let anything happen to her. You don't know what they did to her or could be doing to her," growled Ken getting ready.


"Are you coming Ran?" asked Omi as they started to the door. They walked as he grabbed up his weapon of choice and walked past him.


"I'll take that as a yes," said Youji.
