Chapter 3
Ten minutes until noon. She knew it was time to make up her mind. Her head had ached all day long and she knew she couldn't hold out any longer. Her arm hurt too much to move it. She knew what it was. A knife wound. Slowly, she walked over to the window where she opened it, letting the sun greet her. She moved over to her a mirror and looked at herself. Her hair was hanging down in an complete mess. She pulled the bun out, letting the curls fall down to her waist. Her emerald eyes filled with pain, and anger at once.
They'll pay for what they've done. I swear that all of them will!
Her entire outfit was ruined. Cuts was in the fabric as well as her skin. Small wounds had healed but, the larger one ached. She let the dark jacket slowly slide off of her, showing her white shirt that held a large red stain by her arm. A lot of blood was lost. That's why she was so tired. Soon, she would bleed to death, knowing that she held the secrets with her. That she protected the senshi as well as herself from danger.
She looked at what was left of her dark skirt. Not much. It was around her upper thighs that was left. She looked around to see her shoes were in two different places. One by the turned over chair, and other over by the corner. She had used it to defend herself, letting the heel mostly sink into him. He didn't even flinch. Like he liked it. She turned around at the sound of the door opening. This time being able to get a better look at the man that had kidnapped her. Reddish/orange hair that seemed to be untamed and green eyes. He was handsome and tall. (an: very kawii!) His eyes held concern in them as they looked at blood on her shirt.
"Have you decided yet?" She looked at her watch. Two minutes until noon.
"I have a couple minutes left. You're early." She turned back to look out the window. The trees were swaying a little from a nice breeze as they shown brightly in the sunlight. The green leaves twinkled, showing how nice the summer was going. She didn't notice the figure beside her, until he touched her wounded arm. She jumped back, falling to the ground, while biting down on her lip to keep her scream of pain inside.
"Farfarello?"
"No. The boogie man," she answered rolling her eyes as she came to her feet. He made steps toward her, surprised that she didn't move a muscle.
Is she crazy or just acting brave? I've gotta do what I've gotta do. This only leaves me to one choice and once choice only. I don't want to see her in any more pain.
He started going into her mind, surprisingly finding that it was unlocked and ready for him to explore. He found out everything personal about her. The death of her parents, living alone, being a senshi, boyfriends, how the others were her friends but, the one thing that caught his attention was the four men. Their names came right up for him. Ken. Youji. Ran. Omi. Her friends that she knew since the ending of High School.
She had went to college and received a degree for business and now was on her way into owning a company of her own. But first, she had to start in almost the middle. Secretarial. These men had always delivered flowers to her office, and she had ordered from them many times. Soon, she came into helping them on the weekends. Four other women helped.
Usagi. Minako. Rei. Ami. That's all he could get on them. He decided to change some things around. These people were only using her to get to know the senshi. The men wanted to harm them. Not help them at all. He moved it were him and his friends only wanted to help the senshi but, only hurt her in testing how loyal the senshi and their helpers were. He looked down at the girl, leaving her mind, to find her looking at him confused.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You know, it'd kinda help if we knew where Crawford lived," said Youji.
"I don't care anymore. I'm going to find her no matter what the cost," said Ken turning a corner as quick as he could.
"You're going to kill us. What are you hiding?" Omi looked up at Ran questionably.
"What are you talking about? Do you know something we don't?" Youji smiled and leaned back.
"Of course. Why didn't I see this before?"
"What?" asked Ken confused as he turned the corner sharply, jerking everyone sharply.
"You and Makoto have a thing going on!" The car came to a sudden halt as he jerked around in his seat.
"What?!"
"I don't think that's it," said Omi.
"Tell us," said Ran.
"I have nothing to say."
"Well, if Shwartz wants us, then they'll come to us. Lets just figure out on what they're plan is going to be---" Omi was cut off.
"You know what they're going to try and do! They're going to try and take her over! They want something from her but, what? That's the only problem!"
"Ken, calm down---"
"I won't calm down! They have my sister for heavens sakes and I'm not going to let her leave me again!" The car went silent as wide eyes looked at him, except Ran.
"Damn you Ken! Why didn't you tell us this before?" asked Omi.
"Lets head back. Shwartz will find us when they want something," said Ken.
"Then we can talk about this situation in private," said Ran.

Venus looked at the car that had stopped.
They're heading back to the flower shop. I'll meet you all across the street.
Sure thing. Mars out.
Mercury out.
Moon out.
They all met across the street so see the car still in the front of the flower shop.
"What's taking them so long?" asked Venus.
"I don't know. I want you to try and communicate to Makoto," said Mars looking at Mercury.
"Alright. I'll try."

She sat on a bed while Schuldich took care of her arm. She had already been cleaned up and dressed in clothes that were bought for her. Her arm was numb while he sewed it up and finished by placing an bandage around the area.
"How come you want to help us?"
"It's are job to help people in need of course." She looked out the window and then turned to him.
"Do you think I could go outside?"
"Sure thing." She placed on her shoes and followed him out. She looked around at the nicely kept lawn. Her eyes traveled around until they landed on a pond surrounded by a weeping willow. She sprinted off over to it, where she stopped to look at herself in the pond.
Some scratches on her arms and legs, along with bruises. She stood in tan shorts and a soft yellow tank-top that had "Bora Bora" written on the front with a beach scene where it was setting. Her shoes were nice and comfortable Adidas. They went perfect with her outfit.
Is everything that he said true about my friends? Are they all just trying to betray the senshi? Well, of course all the girls aren't. They are the senshi but, what about Ken, Omi, Youji, and...Ran? None of them would do such a thing, would they? I'm still not going to tell him who the senshi are. I trust him but, not that much.
She looked to see Schuldich talking with Crawford. He motioned for her to come over and she walked over quickly.
"We're going for a ride. You'll do everything I tell you to do, right?" She nodded her head slowly.
"Sure thing."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"She doesn't even know?" asked Omi.
"No. I found out from my birth certificate. It was laying on my bed along with a couple photos. A note was also left behind. Do you think she'll believe me when I tell her?"
"She will. She trusts you," said Ran.
"Who knows what Schuldich did to her or even Farfarello! He's the psycho with the knives! I swear! If I even see one mark on her I'm going to---"
"Ken, don't worry. We'll destroy them," said Omi.
"Actually, we'll turn them good." They turned around to the voice of a woman. There stood Sailor Moon with the other senshi around her.
"Once someone goes bad, there's no turning back," said Omi.
"We've done it once and we'll do it again," smirked Mars. There was a blast outside that got their attention. Quickly, they ran out to see dust floating in the park.
"That must be them," growled Ken. They walked into the park cautiously as the dust slowly cleared. They heard some coughing for a minute and then silence. Five figures stood, one shielding a woman.
"So nice to see again," smirked Nagi. Ken growled at Schuldich whom held Makoto, covering her face from the dust.
"Mako-chan!" Mars grabbed Moon from going to her.
"We don't know what they've done to her. She might be our enemy as well." She shook her head.
"No! Mako-chan would never turn against us!" Schuldich looked at Crawford who gave him a nod. He let go of Makoto and placed a silver gun in her hand. He scanned the area and found his target.
"Kill Ran." She walked forward a couple steps and then looked back at him once more.
"Anyone else while I'm out here?"
"No. Just Ran. Now kill him!" She took a couple more steps, enough to be out of their grasps. She pointed the gun at Ran and gave him a wink. Her rose an eye brow and watched as she suddenly turned, pointing it at Schuldich.
"You thought I would obey your ever order? I think not! You will never control me nor any of the senshi's minds. I swear that to you," she spat and then turned to Farfarello and continued," Pain. That's all you've tried to inflect on me. You thought I was scared of you, huh? I wasn't. I was just fooling around just to see what you were actually going to do to me. The next time you ever pull out a knife on me or anyone I care about, I'll kill you. This one's for me!" She pulled the trigger, once, hitting him in the arm.
"Mako-chan!" She started backing up, taking one step at a time while the man laughed it up. She looked at Crawford glare at Schuldich.
"Everything's under control. Hook line and sinker if I recall." He thought for a moment and then smiled.
"We'll have her and the senshi all in good time. Lets go." She kept the gun raised until they finally disappeared from her sight. She let her hand finally fall to her side. She felt the gun being pulled away from her hand and let her grip loosen. She turned around to see Ken looking at her with worried brown eyes. He hugged her tightly.
"I'm so glad they didn't take you over Makoto."
"Don't worry. I'm fine. Maybe in a little pain but, there's nothing I can't handle." She looked over his shoulder to see that the senshi disappeared. (an: no, the guys don't know these girls are the senshi. Just letting you know)
"Are you going to tell her?" asked Youji placing a cigarette in his mouth. She looked up at Ken.
"Tell me what?"
"Lets go back to the shop for this."
An: Like? Dislike? Did it just plainly suck? Hope not! Well, this is all for now. Sorry it's taking me so long. Normally I get most of my fics out quicker then this! -_- I'm going so slow these days. Well, hope you enjoyed it!
