Chapter 9





Jaquilla ran out the front door, without her shoes on.

Ikuko looks after her with a sad expression on her face. *Poor girl. * She thought.

Usagi looks at Luna; they knew what really set the girl off to running at night.

It all began when Usagi got home..

*~An hour ago~*

Usagi had come home totally wiped from the grilling session. Rei had suggested that Usagi should erase her memory of them as senshi. Usagi didn't want to, but when they took a vote, she was out numbered.

So she decided that after dinner she would erase Jaquilla's memory.

But then her mother had called a family gathering after dinner. Usagi and Jaquilla both noticed a sad expression on Ikuko's face.

"What's wrong okaasan?" Usagi asked.

Her mom beckoned Jaquilla closer, "Ja-," She had a little trouble saying it so Jaquilla told her she could call her Lee. Ikuko smiles sadly, "Lee- chan," She began, "You're.you're going to stay in Japan a little while longer..a month or so."

Jaquilla frowned, "Why?"

Ikuko paused a moment before telling the young woman, "Your parents." She stopped and seemingly gather herself up to tell her, "Your family was attacked by a youma on their way to see your Aunt Yvette and cousin Raven."

"What!?" There was a shocked expression on the girl's face as if she couldn't believe what was being sad. "How are they?! Is my mama ok? My Dad?"

Ikuko looks away, "I'm sorry, but your mother is in critical condition and your father..he's in a coma with third degree burns and a massive head injury." She looks at the black girl, "Your relatives thought it best that you stayed here for a while until the matter of payments to the hospital is done and the house and stuff." She bowed her head,

"Gomen nasai, Lee-chan."

Jaquilla didn't want to hear it, none of it. She didn't want to stay in Japan for that long, she missed her friends and her mother and father, and grandmother.

She started to back out then turn and ran out of the house, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

"Jaquilla-chan!" Usagi yells after her, but the black girl was already gone.

*~*Present time*~*



Usagi was still looking for Jaquilla. It seems to her that she wouldn't be erasing any memory that she might have of the senshi if she couldn't find her. So she did the easiest thing she could do: she called for backup.



Jaquilla ran and until she couldn't anymore. She fell to the ground, crying.

*Mama.Dad..* She thought sadly, *Is it because of me? * She wondered, * Or maybe it's Usagi? * She didn't know what to do. Well, she didn't have to because just then a youma appeared with a sinister grin.

Usagi told everyone to search for Jaquilla. Reluctantly, they did as their princess bid and looked for her.

"We haven't found her yet!" Rei steamed, she really wanted to get back at the girl for giving her a black eye, which by the way was healing.

"How could she run off like that?" Makoto nearly shouted. She was also mad but was more worried than anything about the poor girl.

"Listen." Usagi began but was interrupted when Luna and Artemis came running in.

"There's an attack in Koneko Park!" Artemis shouts, "You have to get there quickly before it does any more damage!"

"Let's go!" Usagi told them.

(I will not go through the stupid phrases because it gets trying and is torture to my poor, poor hands.)

They transformed and ran off to the site.

Jaquilla was having a hard time dodging the well-aimed feathers as she ran from the youma.

The youma itself looked like an angel with long white wings and a Roman/Greek outfit on.

"Give me the harp!" It screeched as it continued to throw it's feathers at her.

Every time a feather hit something; it exploded, which is why Jaquilla was running like the hounds of hell were after her.

A feather narrowly missed her and exploded next to her.

"Aahhh!" She fell and landed on her stomach, she ached all over and was extremely tired.

*Goddess, * She pleaded silently, *Help me! *

Just then the Sailors arrived.

"Jaquilla!" Sailor Moon cried and ran towards her fallen friend.

Sailor Saturn checked the girl for cuts or any sever wounds, only to find a minor scrap here or there. After quickly healing them she stood up. "She's fine, hardly a scratch on her now." She told Moon.

Moon nodded, "Thanks Saturn."

"Give me the harp!" The youma cries once again, "Hand over the girl now!"

Tuxedo Kamen picks the girl up, "Go stuff a pillow." He said and looks at Moon, "Hurry up and kick his ass already!"

"Oh shut up." She grumbled, "It's your guys fault anyway." She quickly turned towards the youma, "Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"

But to their dismay, the youma dodged it and went into a dive towards Tuxedo Kamen and the girl in his arms.

It was too quick for anyone to do anything as the youma grabbed the sleeping(or unconscious) girl and flew up.

"Oh no!" Moon looks at Mercury, "Quick, trace them now."

But before Mercury could even twitch a finger, the youma dropped Jaquilla from seventy feet in the air.

They all rushed to catch her, or at least try. Though it seems as if they didn't have to try at all because her body stopped decreasing quickly and started to float down until she lay in Tuxedo Kamen's arms.

But the youma had other plans. "Give me the harp!" it yells at them.

This time they all attacked together and this time, the youma was now dusted.

A few moments later, they were at the temple. Usagi had called her mom telling her that she and Jaquilla would be staying at the temple that night.

"I wonder what it might by saying' give me the harp'" Makoto said out loud. "I mean, what harp?"

Usagi looked at her surrogate sister once more. Jaquilla had been incredible hot since the battle and seem to have a fever. At the moment they were trying to break the fever.

Mamoru stayed for a while, checking on her. "It seems to be coming down but.." He looks at them, "It hasn't broke yet."

Ami was busy typing when she let out a soft exclamation, "My goddess." She looks up at them.

"What is it Ames?" Minako goes over with the rest as they looked over Ami's shoulder.or tried.

"She has a power signature!" She told them and typed more, "I don't now where it comes from but it's definitely powerful!"

Usagi gaze in shock, at Jaquilla. * How could I have missed it?! * She asked her self. *She was different and wasn't one bit shocked to hear Luna talk or anything! *

Now her line of thought turned to something else.. *What is she hiding? * She narrowed her eyes as the others did. *Why didn't she tell us this? Or me? * She felt a little her that her best friend wouldn't confined in her even when she told her everything. After an hour or so, her fever broke and she began to wake up.

The first thing she knew was that her back hurt. The second was that she was hot and the last was that she wasn't alone.

"Jaquilla?" Usagi looks at her fried, ""Are you ok?"

Jaquilla stares at her, "Yeah, just a head cold nothing more."

"Now" Haruka looks at the girl, "Just exactly who are you?"

Jaquilla bit her lower lip, she knew she couldn't keep up her disguise any longer. She was a bearer, and it was her job to protect that which she bears. (Confusing huh?)

"I can't tell you." She answers finally. "It's a secret."

"Well no shit Sherlock." Usagi mutters in english sending Ami, Haruka, Michiru and Minako laughing, or just the last three, Ami blushed. Setsuna only smirked at her princess's language.

Jaquilla only shook her head, "No." She repeats.

"Well at least tell us why they are after you in the first place." Mamoru reasoned.

"They want the harp." Came a curt answer.

"What's so special about it?" Michiru asked. (No duh, after all she is a musician. Of course she's interested!)

"I'm not telling you." Came the reply.

A big vein was swelling on Rei and Makoto's forehead, they had had just about enough of her.

"Tell us or I'll throw you into the fire!" Rei threaten.

Jaquilla looks at them and shook her head, "Sorry, this line is disconnected. Please dial the correct number or wait until hell freezes over."

"Why you!!" It took both Mamoru, Haruka and Makoto to hold Rei down.

"Rei, get a grip." Usagi told her senshi.

But Rei ignored her "I'm going to get you, you bitch!"

*That's it! * Usagi jumped up to her feet and face the struggling priestess.

"Princess Rashia of Mars!" She said quietly with her crescent moon glowing softly. "If you do not control yourself like a senshi of your planet should, I will suspense you from my services and take your powers that were handed down to you from your mother, so help me Selene I will!"

They all stared at her. Now they recognized her as she really was, Supreme ruler of the system, Princess Serenity and as well as the future, Neo-Queen Serenity.

Rei calmed down staring at her princess with a new respect for her as someone to both fear and yet trusted. She bowed her head in submission to her rule.

"I'm sorry, my princess." She apologized , "I forgot myself in rage, please forgive me."

Usagi nodded curtly, "Forgiven, but do not allow it to happen again, Mars."

"Yes, your highness."

"Now" Usagi turned to see an unfazed Jaquilla sitting there watching as if she was bored, "Tell us exactly what I want to know, or else."

Jaquilla looked at Usagi in full power and shook her head, "Sorry, but I can't tell you."

Usagi then developed a thoughtful expression that no one trusted, which surprised them because they were always able to trust her, completely. "Oh, why?"

"None of your business, Moonchild." Jaquilla told her.

"If you don't tell me, than you have nowhere to go." She said flippantly. "So you might as well just tell us what we want to know to be able to protect you better."

Jaquilla stood up, "Sandy," was all she said and the white and sandy colored cat appeared. It rubbed up against her leg. "As I have said, I can not tell you."

Haruka glared at her, "You mean you won't."

Jaquilla looks at her with a faint smile on her face, "Exactly. Two people were hurt because of it. I will not allow any others to be the same." With that she left, with Sandy behind her.

"Are you really going to kick her out?" Hotaru asked.

"Iie." Usagi answered, "I wouldn't but it was a good threat." She looks at them, "We've got to keep an eye out for her, she doesn't know how to fight like we do."



That girl..yes we have to watch her. She maybe the one..the one with the harp of sorrow.
