The day is sunny and bright. Birds chirp happily while the white puffy clouds float lazily across the sky. Tokyo was calm and peaceful. Kids run around across the street corners screaming happily with delight.

All of a sudden, car honks were heard from the streets followed by loud brake stops. Cars twisting and turning to the sides but nothing big. Dust filled the whole area in thick clouds like the tide of a sea coming in. The kids stopped playing and turned to see what was the commotion about. Mothers ran toward their children and scooped them away from where they were. The children's eyes were wide as the dust cleared and they strained their eyes along with many others to see what had done all this.

Mina and Serena were running across the street. Well, actually Mina was dragging Serena and Serena was basically holding on for dear life onto Mina's arm. Two cars suddenly screeched a stop again to let them by, honks were heard everywhere. Serena was panting, "Mina! Slow down! Raye may yell at us but she won't kill us if we are late!" Mina turned and gave Serena a glare, "You never worry do you Serena? Raye promised us tickets to that new movie on Sailor V! And we have to be on time." Serena's face lit up automatically, "What? Let's go!" Serena sped up faster than Mina so it was now Mina who was being dragged or dangling behind Serena, "We're going to get those tickets Mina!" Serena speeds up faster so that all you see is their dust trail behind them, destruction follows right behind them.

Serena and Mina are running as fast as they can, and trust me that's a lot. They make it to the shrine quickly, running up all those stairs. Serena and Mina are panting desperately. Serena and Mina collapse at the top stairs, tired and weary but when they look up, they end up seeing Raye at the top of the stairs at the entrance. Raye has a time watch in her left hand and in her right hand a long red stick with ribbons tied all around it with a large bow at top. She walks up to them and bends down, "Looks like you are late by 3 seconds. No tickets for you two." Serena sits up and looks at Raye, her eyes begin to water, "Raye, please! We tried so hard to get here in time. We had detention and Traffic got in the way. Raye!" Raye shakes her head and Serena begins to cry loudly. Mina is down on her knees pulling on the end of Raye's shirt, "Raye please! We'll do anything to get those tickets." Raye eyes Mina out, "Will you try anything to stop yourself from being late?" Mina shakes her head and Raye grins, "So be it." Raye twirls her stick and pounds it down on Mina's head 3 times. Mina falls down to her side gripping her head and the large bump on it. Her large Raye walks over to Serena and hits her 3 times hard on the head. Serena stops crying and falls down to her side gripping her head and the large bump on it. Serena's blue eyes are large with surprise, "Raye! What was that for?" Raye grins, "For every second or minute that you are late, you get smacked on the head with my new spell stick that I have created over night."

Mina sits up still gripping her head, "What does the spell stick do?" Raye turns to Mina, "Simple, it keeps you from being late." Serena grumbles and sits down in an Indian style, "More like the bump stick with all the bumps I got." Raye turns to Serena and looks at the girl with long blonde meatball hair., "I can give you another bump to shut that mouth of yours!" Serena stands up automatically and appears about 20ft away from Raye, "No thanks. I have enough bumps on my head. I think your spell stick has worked Raye! It's a miracle! I feel like a changed woman!" Raye sighs and a sweatdrop appears, "More like a changed moron."

Mina has a large bag of ice on her bump, "Raye we tried so hard! Please give us the tickets!" Raye turns to Mina, who had long blonde hair too but to her waist. Typical Mina and Serena. The two most clumsiest blondes ever, "No way! Until you come on time, you aren't getting the tickets. Beside Mina, why do you want to see a movie that's about you? You ARE Sailor V you know." Mina threw down the ice pack and stared at Raye who had turned her self around allowing her waist length black hair to fly around, "Still Raye, I want to see how they captured my beauty into a movie! I want to see if they catch my inner beauty!" Raye and Serena both have sweatdrops over their heads and Mina has her eyes with large stars in them.

The sunshine leaked through the large windows in the library. The books glistened with their new covers, their colors shining brightly. Young kids sat in the tables, their heads buried in books, adults scanned the isles with books in their hands looking for other books. To the side of the library in a table alone was Amy. She wore her school outfit alone with a large pair of glasses on her face. her blue hair glistened against the sun's rays and her eyes shown with intelligence. She was sitting down with a Calculus book and doing her homework. Ten books she has sitting in front of her. Two separate piles they were stacked like two large towers. Two worn out pencils were to her right side of her shoulders with eight brand new ones to go. She had done two whole books already, filled to the top with notes on them. Neat piles that were about 2 inches high and had their own folder were to the side; they were her notes she had taken. She bit on the end of her pencil furiously, her mind was fumbling a math problem. Her mind was set in another world when she felt the tap on her shoulder. Amy looks up from where she was reading to see the hyper face of Hotaru. Her face was flushes slightly but it was a healthy flush. Hotaru's eyes sparkled with life and her black hair shined brilliantly. She wore her usual school outfit that showed her curves that were beginning to show out. Soon boys would be looking at her because she and Rini would soon turn into two beautiful women. Amy smiled at this as Hotaru looked down at her, "Hey Any! What are you reading?" Amy looks down at the book, "Oh nothing much. Why are you here?" Hotaru grinned and walked to the other side of the table where she sat down in the opposite chair, "Rini and I came here to check out some books for a project." Amy smiled, "that's wonderful! What project are you doing?" Hotaru's face kind of went into shock and she was turning nervous, "Oh, um..." Hotaru blushes a little when all of a sudden Rini popped up behind Hotaru. Her pink meatballs so unlike her mothers yet so similar bounced on her head. She also wore her school outfit but Rini was still too young for her curves to show out but it showed that she was going to turn into a beautiful woman. Her face was also flushed but not as much as Hotaru's, "Hotaru! They have no video records with Sailor Moon or any of the scouts getting a bad guy! That's stinks! We need a shot of them!" Amy gets up and looks at them, "Rini, what do you mean a video of the scouts?" Hotaru squirmed in her chair, "Amy we are in career class and we choose to be reporters so we had to pick a big story." Amy nearly shouted, "But on your own self?" Rini and Hotaru told her to be quiet as the Liberian glanced at Amy shocked. Amy waved nervously at her then turned back to them. Rini sits down with a out, "Well we had to!" Amy smirked, "Had to Rini?" Rini nodded, "yeah we wanted a good grade plus extra credit!" Rini whispers to Hotaru, "Plus some cash!" Hotaru grins, "yeah." Amy looms on them, nearly fully on top of the table, "Did I hear the word cash?" Rini and Hotaru fake a innocent smile and they step out of their chairs, "We got to go now Amy, Hotaru and I are very busy!" Hotaru and Rini back off a bit, "Yeah, Rini's right, reporters never rest! Bye Amy!" Amy launches at them, "Come back here!" Amy tries to grab them but Hotaru and Rini turn around and run out of the library. Amy had a pencil in her hand and it snaps in half at her anger and frustration. She looks at the broken pieces, "Opps." She groans and sits back down, "What are they up to?" Then Amy thinks of the guy's name they had mentioned and smiled, so that's what they have been up to. Amy smiles to herself and begins to open the book that she had closed when she had gotten up. She saw the note she had placed onto of the book with a sticky note that said, "Meet at Temple at 5!" She smiled and began reading while doing homework when she felt a shadow loom over her. The Librarian was over her and then for once, Amy got the lecture of her life. Amy was still overcoming the frustration from those two that she nearly choked the Liberian but sat down stone still. Listening to her bickering and making a mental note to kill those two when she saw them.

Cars zoomed by, leaves twirled and twisted in circles and flew down the pavement. The wind blowing its icy breath down the warm day cooling everything in its path. A car honked at two girls that were walking down the pavement. It stopped and asked them if they needed a ride, they quietly disagreed and the car zoomed up. The first girl, Rini, looked up to the girl next to her, her pink eyes blazing, "Well, Hotaru. Lets go. Guess the guy thought we were cute to of stopped to pick us up." The second girl, Hotaru, smiled, "Or that we were desperate for shade." They both laughed. Rini and Hotaru turn and walk by the side walk smiling their heads off. They had just gotten out of the library with out having to let their secret out. Rini turns over to Hotaru and looks at her with her large pink eyes, "Hotaru, will Meka really give us $20 if we do this project?" Hotaru shrugs casually and she begins to walk more slowly, "Rini, I'm not sure. but from what I heard, he never has broken a bet with anyone. he is rich you know." Rini nods and looks at Hotaru worriedly, "We'll show him! We will get those shots of Sailor Moon and get that money!" Rini is in front of a shop that had money signs all over it so you saw nothing but Rini surrounded by moneys signs, Hotaru is in the corner with a sweatdrop, "By any chance, how?" Hotaru is next to Rini and Rini's money signs disappear, "Um...I haven't figured that out yet." Hotaru falls down with a thud then Rini jumps up, "Wait! Let's film Serena!" Hotaru leaps up but it was unsteadily and she is breathing hard, "Yeah! We can interview her as Sailor Moon!" Rini nods her head, "Yeah! Interview that dope!" Hotaru and Rini grin evilly and they begin to walk more. Hotaru's pace slows down but Rini is so into her world, she doesn't seem to notice. Then Hotaru's breath comes out in ragged breaths and she collapses onto the ground on her knees. Her black eyes are large and filled with fright. Rini sees Hotaru when she turns around and runs to her, "Hotaru! Hotaru! What is wrong?" Hotaru falls onto her side and looks up at the sky, her eyes are unclear and seem to not see anything in front of her. Rini begins to shake and tears fall down her cheeks, "Hotaru! Oh no! Hotaru!" She shakes her but Hotaru stays this way. Then Hotaru sits up and looks at a corner of a shop that was completely dark. Hotaru's eyes widen, "Black eyes, black eyes! Seeking, seeking and searching! Craves for death, blood! No, is death!" Hotaru turns away from the corner and grabs Rini's shirt. Rini goes to her knees and Hotaru holds on to her, Hotaru is crying and her eyes show fear, "Run! Run!" She looks back at the corner and a shadow begins to form out from it on the floor. Rini gasps and Hotaru is shaking terribly. It stretches out to Hotaru like a large hand, Hotaru hides her face in Rini's shirt screaming, "No! Leave me alone! I refuse to!" Rini feels the rush of pure evil wrap around her, it felt warm yet Rini felt the coldness it bore. She shivers and tries to think, I've felt this before. A long time ago. this power, it's familiar but it can't be. It's the power of....of... Wise Man's power! I know what's Wise man's power but I also feel... no! Can't be! I feel Serena's power in there! It's Serena's power also! Wise Man's coldness yet Serena's Warmth! But how? The shadow takes form before Rini and Hotaru's eyes in the form of a woman, her curves were unmistakable. She stretches a long slender arm to Hotaru and gives her her hand. Hotaru stares at it almost hypnotized. She reaches for it automatically but Rini's hand stops her. Rini's voice is shaky as she looks at Hotaru's side of her face, "Hotaru! Snap out of it!" Rini refuses to look up at the lovely yet dangerous creature for fear of what she might see. She closes her eyes and tries to close Hotaru's but Hotaru stops her. Hotaru regains her senses and looks up to the face and when she sees black eyes stare straight back at her filled with hunger, she screams.

Small sobs were heard from inside an apartment, they were a couple sniffles and maybe a few wails but nothing big. Sunlight streamed through the window of a room and it revealed a living room with a TV turned out. Lita was sitting down in the couch before the TV. Her eyes large from crying and her nose was kind of runny. A half eaten sandwich was next to her along with a bottled of water. There were 3 empty boxes looming over next to Lita, along with a mountain of tissues on the other side of her. Lita's eyes shone with the glow of the TV as she leaned closer to hear what was being said. The reason to her tears was because there was a soap-opera on the TV, about a couple and their tragic love. It was like Romeo and Juliet except more dramatic and with more love in it. Lita blew her nose loudly just as the guy confessed his love or the girl. The girl's cry of joy was overpowered by Lita's own cry as they embraced in a passionate kiss. Just then the scene changes to the commercials and Lita's large cry of anger was heard, "Hey! That was the good part too!" Lita sighed and rethought the whole movie, "How dramatic! That was so inspiring!" Lita got up and blew her nose once more. She stretched and picks up the half eaten sandwich to her side with the water. She walks over to the kitchen and throws away the sandwich. She places the bottled water next to the sink then leans down and opens the bottom cupboards. She grabs a trash bag from the side then walks back over to the living room. She puts all the tissues and boxes in the bag. She closes the bag after the place was cleaned and ties it with a knot. She carries the bag back to the kitchen where she picks up the water and gulps it down. She puts it back down and gulped in a large breath of air. She turned over to the door and walks out leaving the television on. She walks out and closes the door behind her. She walks down the stairs, her ponytail bouncing up and down with her brown hair shinny in the sunlight's rays. Her hips swayed against the skirt she had on and the sleeveless shirt clung to her body since the pressure of the bag was on her back. She skipped a couple stairs and then walked over to the large trashcans that the trash went in. She threw the bag over the side and then turned back to go home. Just then she heard a voice from far away, "Lita! Wait!" Lita stopped, "Huh?" She looked up to see Andrew looking down at her, he smiled at her, "Hey Lita!" Lita's heart lurched, "Andrew!" Andrew smiled at her, "Hey wait! Were you watching the TV show about those two lovers and their tragic death?" Lita looked at him dumb folded, "Death? What death?" Andrew looked at questionly, "yeah deaths. they just died together in a fire. it's on right now!" Lita was running up the stairs up to his place, "What? It came back on? Already? But it hasn't been for more than 2 minutes!" Andrew laughed as she saw her face flushed from running up those two stories, "I think it is still on. Go look." he pointed to the room that had the door open right next to him. Lita ran straight for the room right to his living room where the TV was on. She leaned down and turned up the volume. The scene was the two lovers holding each other and kissing right before the fire engulfed them. Then the scene changed and said, "Next time....The Tale of Two lovers....." Lita groaned and sat down on Andrew's couch with a flop, "I missed the ending! And those poor lovers! Why must life be so cruel?" She turned to Andrew who was leaning on the door looking at her with a small look in his eyes, "And he reminded me of my boyfriend too!" Andrew fell down with a large sweatdrop, "Really? Nice, heh." Lita sniffles a bit and sits down straight up, "Damn! I'm never going to watch another soap-opera with a guy that looks like my boyfriend!" She stops and thinks, "Come to think of it, they all look like my boyfriend." Lita slumps over her knees but not flashing anything, and she begins to wail. She slaps herself and stands up, "Snap out of it Lita! You're beginning to sound like Serena!" She turns over to Andrew who was looking at Lita like she was crazy. She walks up to him and Andrew steps back stunned, "Andrew, let me clean up m place and then I'll come back down so that we can go to the arcade! Is that ok?" Andrew was turning a slight pink and he had to clear his throat before he could speak, "Yeah sure. Go on ahead." Lita smiled at him and Andrew nearly fell down at this. Lita simply turned away from him and began to climb up the stairs to the third floor to where she lived. Andrew seemed to be frozen in place as he watched her go up.

Lita was frowning as she went up to the apartment. She was thinking about Andrew, poor Andrew. He hasn't been the same since his girlfriend left him. he hasn't been the same and he's been so jumpy around me. I've tried everything to get him back to himself. Hell, I even moved in the same building as him. She walked over to her room and opened the door. the TV was still and it was flashing commercials, nothing important. Lita went straight to her room to change because she was going to help with Andrew. She went through her closet and finally found a suitable dress. She changed into a once piece dress that was sleeveless and a dark green. She redid her ponytail and headed straight for the door. She saw that her TV was still on and went over to it. A commercial on buying noodles was on but then it cut off abruptly. Just then the scene changed automatically or seemed to just cut right in and on TV was Hotaru and Rini! Lita froze on her spot when she saw Rini's crying face and Hotaru passed out on her lap. There was a something before them, something large and the form was indescribable. It didn't look to be human at all. It was black and it looked like a blob of tar. It stuck to the ground but when it moved, it came off the ground without leaving a trace. it seemed to drip down a bit but then the bits would scatter back to its form. It exploded all of a sudden, as if it was going to cover everything but it stopped in mid air and its form began to take shape. It seemed to be having trouble on which form to pick as the blob moved around within its own self. Suddenly it stopped, it didn't move. Rini looked at it and seemed to be confused. She was going to move when it changed into a lion or what seemed to be a lion and it reared back about 10 feet away from Rini and Hotaru. it got on its hind legs and roared loudly. Rini screamed loudly and covered Hotaru with her body. Then the creature attacked Rini, scratching her back. Red large scratches were seen upon her back and the creature stepped back. Rini was still crying and the voice of the reporter was heard in the back, "I am Reporter Chi and I am reporting from in least a mile away from the public library. There has been an attack from the monster before me. Apparently it is attacking these two helpless children." Lita didn't have to hear no more. She ran out from the living room and crashed into the stunned Andrew. He looked up at her surprised but she just brushed him off, "Rini and Hotaru are in trouble! Look on the TV!" Andrew was too stunned to understand and Lita just stood and ran down the stairs. Andrew looked in the room and walked over to the living room. He looked at the TV that was in the living room but it was off. He turned it on and commercials were on. He flipped around but nothing popped up. He shrugged and sighed. he turned off the TV, walked out, and closed the door behind him. He shook his head, if she didn't want to be around me or go with me, she didn't have to lie to me. Andrew felt hurt as he walked down the stairs to the arcade.

Sunshine leaked through the crack of a window silently as if waiting for its prey. Soft classical music was heard beside the steady hum of the car that could lull someone to sleep. The scent of roses was drifting around car and out the window. Sitting silently was Darien, his black hair reflecting the sun's light but his eyes showing a scowl in it. Darien was cursing silently to himself under his breath. His car had nearly been wreaked earlier because of something that had ran in front of the other cars so there had been a traffic jam. Now he was going to be late and Raye was going to kill him. He turned out from a corner and sped down the road hurriedly. No one seemed to be in the road anymore but he was so busy worrying about Raye he didn't even pay any mind to it at all. A red light caught up with him and he cursed under his breath. Damn Raye is going to kill me. The light changed green and Darien smirked evilly, I'll make sure I won't be late. He pressed the gas all the way to the bottom. There was a loud screeching sound, as the tires seemed to blend with the street. Darien eyes lit up with excitement, put the pedal to the metal! Darien's car is seen zooming off at full speed, leaving black tire marks on the ground. Darien was felt the surge of excitement as he zoomed through the streets. He would of laughed out loud if he could, his excitement was only seen through his eyes. He was having so much fun that he didn't even notice his surroundings. Just then the Darien's whole body froze, his body turned stiff, and a icy chill ran down his spine. His reflexes turned on before his mind could register what he had heard. His foot pressed all the way down on the brake and the sound screeching was heard overhead. The car twisted itself to the right, nearly flipping but nearly. It stopped, its engine purring like a cats. But Darien's ears did not hear the purring, nor feel the smooth humming under his body. All he felt and heard was the bone chilling scream of Rini's voice.
