Chapter 4













"We have still have to talk about how we're going to keep you safe from Schwartz," said Omi.


"They're not after me. They're after the senshi."


"Those girls cute girls in short skirts that came to save you as well?" asked Youji. She shot a glare in his direction.


"Yes."


"What do they want to? Marry them?" he joked.


"It's not funny...."


"Why were they after you then?" asked Omi.


"I know them. All of them. Who they are. That's what they want. They want to get a hold of that information. I'm afraid, they're going to try and harm them in a way."


"Don't you think that the senshi could protect themselves? They've been doing it for who knows how long...Just tell them and then disappear from sight. We'll take care of you Makoto." She looked at Ken whom eyes were sincere.


"I can't do that Ken. I just can't do that." Youji let out a cloud of smoke.


"It's not like you're one of them, are you?" Her mind seemed to freeze for a moment.


Should I tell them I am? They've told me a lot about themselves. All about being assassins. Well, Ken told me that a long time ago but, I don't think the rest of them know about any of it. Do you think I should tell them? I feel right about it. But, what will they say? No. I shouldn't. It's wrong.


"I should go see the girls. They are probably worried sick about me." Youji's arm went in her way so she couldn't pass by him.


"Are you one of them?"


"Are you?" she questioned. He wrinkled his nose.


"Of course not. I'm not a woman."


"Makoto, you can't go out now. Who knows if they're waiting for you. It'd be best if you stayed here," said Ken. She smiled.


"I'll be fine. I managed to get through Farfarello's knives and Schuldich's mind control. It's not like they'll be back any time soon."


"You don't know. They could come any time," said Ran.


"I'm risking---"


"You're not risking anything. I can't let you go." She looked at Ken confused.


"You're in a room with four over powering men," pointed out Youji.


Over powering my butt! I could fry you to a crisp if I wanted to! Don't give me that Youji!


She gave out a little sigh of defeat.


"You're right. There's no way that I could get back any of you guys in this condition. But, I have to talk to them or at least let them know I'm alright." Ken nodded.


"We'll let them know and have them come and visit us. Okay? Right now, you need to get some rest---"


"Oh! That reminds me! What were you suppose to tell me?" she asked. Youji smirked and winked at Ken.

Rei looked around at the rest of the girls. Silence had filled them all. No one dared to say a word no matter what happened. They were thinking about her. What she had looked like. That's the first time they've ever seen her hold so much anger toward one person. Just one person and shoot at them.


"When is she coming to visit?" asked Minako breaking the thoughts in the room.


"I don't know but she'd better get here soon. I'm getting worried that they have her again..."


"Rei! Don't think like that," stampered Minako.


"Well, it could happen."


"Usa? Why are you being so quiet?" Everyone looked at Ami who had asked the question.


"I shouldn't tell you guys yet."


"Tell us what?!" asked Minako.


"Nothing." Ami pulled out her mini computer and started typing while pointing it at Usagi.


"Oh my...."


"WHAT?!"


"Chibi-usa!" exclaimed Minako with a grin.


"You're not fighting anymore and transforming into Sailor Moon," said Mercury.


"We'll just bring in the outer and everything will be taken care of....perfectly fine!"

Schuldich took a seat on the couch and ignored the glare from Crawford. Nagi just went over to his computer where he went to search for more data on the senshi. Farfarello sharpened his lovely knife collection.


"I thought you had her."


"So did I. I guess she was just playing with us just to get what she wanted. Don't worry. I know where she lives."


"She's not going to be at her place. The WeiB has her now. Who knows where they are."


"Oh well. We'll just have to wait until she comes out with the rest of the senshi."


"What do you mean?"


"She's---"


"I found something you might want to know Crawford." He looked at Nagi.


"Hurry up."


"I was analyzing the past of Makoto Kino in her school days and it seemed that she missed a lot of school from some serious medical injuries. When I looked at some picture of her and the senshi Jupiter, they seem to have the same characteristics."


"What are you saying?"


"She's Sailor Jupiter." Crawford growled and glared harder at Schuldich.


"You let one of the senshi get away from us?!"


"So? It doesn't mean we can't get her back."


"You're lucky I don't kill you." He shrugged.


"I'll just wait at her apartment until she comes back."

Ken watched his sister sleeping in his room and then closed the door behind him silently. He walked out to where the others where gathered.


"When are you going to tell her?" asked Omi.


"Not now. She has a lot of pressure on her right now. I don't want anything else to happen right now."


"It doesn't matter what you think. She's alone. She needs someone. You know that well. How many times have you been there for her through all these five years we've been together?"


"All of the time."


"Tell her Ken."


"If you don't, I will," said Ran. Ken looked up at his leader in surprise.


"Why would you do that?"


"Aya means the world to me. I almost lost her. You might not want to loose your sister either."


"I'll tell her once she wakes up, okay?"


"Fine."


"You know, I think Sailor Mars is cute. She has a nice temper," said Youji lounging on the couch. Omi sighed.


"Come on Youji. Give it a rest."


"Let me have my fun."








An: Well, that's all right now. I hope you like it. It's taken a while. Sorry. I've been busy with a lot of things.
