Chapter 6: Arrangements Finalized

*~*~*~*

"Hi, may I help you?" A woman asked.

"Yes, if you are able to get me transcripts and home school work for a student who normally attends here."

"Is this stuff needed immediately?" The lady was young and tall with red hair.

"Yes." Sakura answered

"Which student?" She asked leading Sakura to her office.

"Serena Usagi Tsukino." Sakura answered while curiously looking around, "Why are the walls bare, like no one is supposed to be here?"

"I just got this office. That's why. Are you her legal guardian?"

"No. Here is a note from her mother. She was busy and sent me to take care of everything." Sakura took out a note, "Oh, and can I also get things for Sakura Avalon Kinomoto?"

"Parent letter, of proof of guardianship?"

"I'm her mother." Sakura pulled out a fake ID saying she was Mrs. Kinomoto.

"Okay, just a second."

"Silver Crystal Glow" To the eyes of the redhead, Sakura's eyes and hands began to glow with a soft silver light.

After everything was printed, Sakura thanked the lady for her time and started to leave. Right before Sakura stepped out of the office door, the woman announced, "Where is the Silver Crystal? Who wields it? And it won't be any use trying to say you don't know, because I know you have seen it and have held it!"

At the mention of the Silver Crystal, Sakura stopped dead in her tracks, turned, and locked the 'secretary' with a glare. "I wouldn't be going around saying that if I were you." Sakura said in a warning voice.

"I am Magnolia, oldest of the Element quartet!" A light flashed and Magnolia was no longer in the nice suit she had been in.

"Let me guess, your brother's name is Bob?"

"So you've met?"

"Yeah. Did he tell you about me? Outer Moon Power!"

"You!" Magnolia exclaimed.

"I see he has." Outer Moon smiled malevolently.

"I'm not nearly as weak as him! Your fighting days end today!"

Putting up her hand as if saying stop, Sakura said "(Turn)" and the attack released by Magnolia did an about-face and continued in a straight path, just the opposite of its intended direction. "You call that an attack? And you claim to be the oldest, which usually would mean that you're the strongest. That doesn't say much for your family. I have to get going, I'll see you some other time." She left in a flash of black light.

*~*~*~*

Half an hour later found Serena overflowing Sakura with questions on top of questions

"Where are we?"

"My place."

"Why?"

"To keep you safe from those girls who don't have full control over their powers."

"How am I going to get rid of the monsters back home now?"

"They won't be attacking until they can find you. They are after your crystal and your life."

"What about school?"

"You're on home study until your training here is over."

"I can't stay here forever, so what about when I return home?"

"You'll return home." Sakura stated simply, "But for now, you get to stay here and train with me for about two months."

"What about Pluto? What about my parents?!? They wouldn't stand for this!"

"Except that I've already received her permission to keep you here and train for up to 3 months. But you might luck out and only have to stay 2 months. It all depends on how much you improve. And your parents are on a three month trip somewhere, dragging your brother Sammy along. I told them that you could stay with me until they return so that you don't miss any school."

"Improve how?" Serena couldn't believe how well thought out Sakura had things.

"Your magic control, strength, and abilities."

"What if I improve to the point you want before 2 months?"

"We'll see."

"What's for dinner?" Serena continued after a short pause.

*~*~*~*

"Pluto!" Jupiter called, "Get your time-controlling butt over here!"

"What?!" Sailor Pluto stepped out of a time portal, "What did you call me?!"

"Sailor Outer Moon has taken off with Serena!" Jupiter dodged Pluto's Question.

"I know. She's safe and in a place where she can not be seriously injured, or much less, killed. You don't have to worry about her." Sailor Pluto laughed, "She'll be there for a couple of months. Now, if you don't mind, I must be going."

"Wait!!" Sailor Mercury had a panicking tone to her voice, "What is going on!?!"

"Outer Moon already talked to me and told me what happened. She has my permission to keep Serena there for up to three months. Bye." Pluto left before any more questions could be asked of her.

"Did she just say we might not see Serena for THREE months?!?" Sailor Mars screamed.

"I think so." Venus said softly before sitting down, hard.

"What do we do now?" Sailor Mercury joined Venus.

"We can try to go and find her, or we can just sit here and wait for her to get back." Mars spoke up, "I say we try to find her."

"But we don't even know where to start looking." Mercury replied.

"The Silver Crystal. Can't you track her down by following its power?" Jupiter looked at Mercury.

"I already tried that. Somehow, Sailor Outer Moon has blocked its power from my sensors." Mercury replied softly.

*~*~*~*

"Nice try, but you still missed me!" Sailor Outer Moon taunted.

"Moon and Earth Soul Sparkle!" The attack headed straight and true and nailed Sailor Outer Moon in the back, sending her flying forward.

"Got'ya!" Sailor Moon announced.

"Finally! Took you long enough!" Outer Moon stood back up, "Outer Moon Death Sphere!"

Outer Moon's attack flew toward Sailor Moon. "Missed me!" Sailor Moon pranced about.

"Outer Moon Total Control. Dance" Outer Moon said in a commanding voice, and Sailor Moon started a ridiculous dance.

"What the hell?!" Sailor Moon cried out in surprise.

"Stop. Now…" Outer Moon paused, "…Bow down to me and call me…hmmm…'master'." She finished with a malicious grin.

Against her will, Sailor Moon's knees buckled beneath her and as she bowed to Outer Moon, she said, through clenched teeth, "Master."

"Good girl!" Outer Moon laughed and ended the spell, "Today's lesson is over." Outer Moon walked back in the house.
