AN: HAHAH! If only you had known that the 5th scout was going to be evil I'm sure you guys wouldn't have chosen Sailor Herm. That was why Maria was laughing a few weeks ago about it, because she knew that whoever you chose would be evil. Listen, I'm losing my inspiration and had a really bad writer's block, so after this chapter I would really appreciate some reviews to hype up my writing. Sorry if this turns out shit, I'm not going very well and I'm sick too...

Chapter 24 – Sailor Ar

Heero concentrated on the growing emotion inside his mind, and shut it quickly, before it went too far. He gripped onto the armchair and clutched it ripping a piece of material on it. stopping his eyes from stinging he got up from his chair and headed for the door. He wasn't supposed to feel anything and here he was almost in tears from Ami's outbreak.

Stop it! You're the best soldier and simply a boy. Don't you dare cry said a voice inside him. He wasn't quite sure who it was, but he stopped sulking in seconds and looked around. No one seemed to be in the house at the time.

I should go find the others and go to the scouts thought Heero walking out the door. He had no time to sit around and feel sorry for himself when he had things to do.

At the same moment Di, Susy and Chris were heading back to the house. Heero masked his face into an emotional appearance and headed towards them. Di was still transformed so she had nothing to worry about but Heero had to be cautious no one would see him or else he would never get anywhere.

"Heero, go on your motorcycle and find the scouts. I get a feeling they are meeting at Rei's shrine, which is where they usually meet," said Susy who seemed to know things that no one knew she knew.

Heero nodded and raced towards his motorbike. He zipped up his black jacket and hopped on the motorbike without a helmet. He was about to race off when he realised he had to hide his appearance. He quickly found the black helmet and put that over his head too. Turning on the bike he raced down the road at a fast speed. As he rode further and further, the roads became more crowded with cars. He swiftly weaved in between the large trucks and other different vehicles. A lot of them seemed to be war vehicles which had been used in wars in the past. They were now being used as normal vehicles but they brought painful memories back to Heero's mind, which he had tried to block out for so long. He turned on the gas loudly, as if trying to overpower his thoughts, and sped across the red light almost jumping over one car.

Finally he pulled over at the shrine, making a loud screech with his breaks. A black line appeared behind him, coloured from the tyres. He threw his helmet off and unzipped his jacket, twirling his keys on his finger. He checked both sides of the roads before walking up to the huge, and amazingly decorated shrine. He heard a few shouts inside and decided it was better for him to come in. He threw the door open meeting the gaze of Haruka and Michiru. Their faces were stern and serious. Haruka's eyes widened as she saw Heero standing in the door while Michiru turned away, stifling a little giggle. She was so amused to watch her lover get angry whenever she saw Heero.

"What are you doing here?" exclaimed Haruka angrily walking towards Heero. Heero glanced around the shrine, spotting Duo sitting next to Hotaru. Rei was sitting next to the fire, making images with her fingers and showing it in the flames.

"I'll ask you again, what are you doing here?" screamed Haruka, her face growing red with anger.

Heero brushed past her, ignoring her reaching out hand to grab him. He ducked just as her hand flew past and walked towards Duo and Hotaru who seemed to be laughing at the whole show too.

"Darling, let it go. Heero's obviously here to help us," said Michiru, taking Haruka's hand and pulling her away from Heero. Haruka blushed and smiled, walking away from Heero. She sat down, crossing her arms stubbornly. She still felt something about Heero that was not right.

"What have you solved," asked Heero to Hotaru.

"Basically, they think that 3 people should go and take her back to the shrine. Our only problem is Domi might want to come along with us so we need a distraction. Duo offered to plainly start a stupid chat with him and we think that's ok but we need two more people. We've been fighting over fifteen minutes on who should go," said Hotaru.

Heero nodded and turned to face the crowd who began another argument over why they couldn't all go. Suddenly Rei stopped forming images in the fire and turned to face them. She seemed to be in a temper as she stomped her foot loudly on the wooden floor, causing everyone to stop and stare at her.

"I've had enough of this. Let Heero and Haruka go! Duo should go now and get everything ready, and Heero and Haruka will follow ten minutes after," said Rei angrily.

Duo yelped and raced out the room before Haruka threw another tantrum. Putting those two together was like putting two pulls together, with red flags attached to both of them.

Haruka's face twitched as she slowly turned her head to face Heero's calm face. His eyes showed nothing as he turned to look back at her. Michiru smiled and giggled again.

"Now I'm amused," said Michiru letting go of Haruka's hand.

"Fine," said Haruka through gritted teeth, her glare not leaving Heero.

The rest of the ten minutes were mostly sat through silence though there was a silent war going between Haruka and Heero. To be more correct, Haruka was having a war with Heero, which Heero didn't care for at all. Finally after the ten minutes Haruka stood up, followed silently by Heero. Once they walked out the door the room broke into laughter and talking.

"Rei, you are evil you know that," exclaimed Mina.

"That's what Ami would say if she was here," said Mako staring at the clock in amusement.

Hotaru bit her lip. She had seen how Ami stormed past Duo and her earlier in the day. She didn't seem herself at all, and she dared not think about what happened in the mansion while she was gone.

"Actually," began Hotaru not being able to hold the secret in herself anymore. "I saw her today."

"What?" exclaimed the group, looking at her in horror.

"Well," she continued. "It seemed like she had a really bad day and she was really mad at Heero. I'm guessing it was because of the magazine or something, because Heero wasn't quite himself I think. Actually, I'm not sure. That's not the point. She isn't in America anymore and I don't know why. I'm really confused."

The group stared at her in shock, paralysed and not able to speak. Suddenly the door flung open and a sad looking Ami peered in. She turned to face the sky again and let out a smile before turning back to the room.

"Sorry guys. I know you must think this is really strange but I had a few... problems I couldn't bear with in America so I decided to come back to Japan for a few more months. I'll be going back after the American holidays," said Ami. She let out a small smile.

"Oh Ami. You always told us your problems. We have no secrets here. Tell us why you came back. It seemed you had a big trauma or something," said Hotaru weakly.

"No," exclaimed Ami before she could stop herself. "I don't want to tell you all my secrets all the time alright? I don't have to tell you everything!"

Hotaru looked a little shocked and lowered her gaze to the floor in sadness. Ami's eyes softened and she took a seat on the lounge.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. "I was worried about you guys. I thought you would be in some trouble. I think we have a new enemy but I am not sure who it is yet. When you come to think about it, we haven't found the enemy at all yet. We don't know anything about her or him. We've got no clues!" said Ami putting on a sad face.

I'm doing such a good job! thought Sailor Herm, They will never know that it is actually Sailor Herm talking to them, instead of Sailor Mercury. They will never be able to find me this way. Sailor Herm smiled to herself and turned towards the little laptop in her lap. She opened it and began typing away, pretending to look for the scouts' enemy but instead, she was looking for the princes. She knew she wanted to kill Heero for whoever he was. Something about him made her hate him even though she didn't know who he was. Calling him a selfish prince was just an excuse to make her hate him even more.

"That's alright! We understand," exclaimed Minako cheerfully.

Heero raced next to Haruka who was going for a pretty fast speed for a girl. Haruka angrily pushed on and increased her speed, wanting to outrun Heero but the boy was too fast for her.

Everyone is always running at my speed! It seems a little unfair to both me and them. thought Haruka as she raced even faster. The boy calmly rushed next to her, his eyes set on the path in front of him though he was really concentrating on Haruka and looking at her from the corner of his eye. She could not see this of course because it looked like he was looking forward. As they ran faster Haruka began running out of breath and her breathing became louder and raspier as she forced herself to go further. The agency was still very far away and she didn't want to stop and make herself look like an idiot.

Finally she gave in to her exhaustion and stopped, bending over and resting her hands on her knees as she panted quickly. She had definitely used up a lot of energy while running and she should have stayed at her own pace.

"We should have taken my motor bike," said Heero calmly.

Haruka sneered and straightened her back, rising taller than Heero. She looked down at him trying to stop herself from panting, but her breathing was getting the better of her. She didn't want to give up to this complete lunatic or else she would lost all the pride she ever had. She knew what Wufei would say if he was in Heero's position. He would say, 'It's alright. You are only a girl'. Haruka grew angrier just thinking about it. That was why she didn't particularly like Wufei either. She looked at Heero again who was calmly standing in the same position like a robot.

Suddenly Haruka's nerves snapped and she snatched for his shirt. Heero sidestepped evading her attack and calmly looked into her eyes. Haruka glared back into those Prussian blue eyes again. They seemed to have a little bit more colour in them now, and they were alert, watching her every move.

"Do you have to be so perfect," screamed Haruka at the top of her lungs, in the middle of the street. She had had enough of this idiotic perfect guy. She wanted to know who he really was, and she wanted to know it now.

Heero did not reply but eased up a bit seeing that Haruka was only planning to scream now. Haruka sighed and crouched, almost sitting on the road. Heero lightly rolled his eyes and went to sit on the pavement while waiting for Haruka.

A small humming noise was heard from a little distance away. The noise escalated and drew closer. There was another zooming noise and what it was dawned onto Heero.

Heero jumped up and turned to see a huge truck rushing up the hill. Haruka did not seem to be noticing. He took a look at her again and realised she was about to faint. Her face was pale and sweaty and her breathing was more rapid.

"Haruka," exclaimed Heero trying to get her attention.
