Chapter 2
Ami, Matako, Minako, and Mamoru walked to the Cherry Hill Temple Shrine. Mamoru had heard of Usagi getting sick, so he decided to buy some roses and some candy for the odango-headed girl. The rest of the girls had all pitched in and bought Serena a large stuffed animal, imported all the way from the United States! 'Beanie babies' they were called. ((^.^)) They had bought "Hope," a cute pink bunny that had her hands as if she were praying. Makoto had also brought along some of her homemade chicken noodle soup she had poured in a thermos to keep nice and warm. Mamoru walked up the temple steps and knocked on the door. Grandfather opened it, chuckling at the bundle in Mamoru's arm.
"Are those for my granddaughter?" He joked and laughed. Mamoru smiled.
"They're for Usagi-chan!" Minako remarked.
"Well come in, come in, you can join the other four."
"Four?" They blinked.
"Yes. I think, what were their names? Michiru, Hotaru-"
"-Setsuna and Haruka?" Ami added.
"Yes! That's them!" Makato looked at the others.
"I never told them."
"Not me."
"I didn't say anything." They turned to Mamoru.
"*sweatdrop* Don't look at me!"
"Well, we'll just go in and talk." Ami had a bad feeling about the whole thing. Was there a dark force surrounding Usagi? Was it so strong that it attracted the outer senshi (soldiers, in this case, scouts) to react so soon?
Grandfather left them into Rei's room, and as he said, there were the four. Michiru was looking over Usagi - still unconscious - and Rei who seemed asleep. Haruka was examining the spilt soup beside the bed. Hotaru stood off to the side, holding Setsuna's hand. Setsuna had her eyes closed, as if looking for something that was hidden past sight. Haruka turned and stood up.
"It's perfectly normal," She said to Michiru, "Nothing weird about the soup."
"I can't feel their pulse!" The inner senshi and Mamoru ran over.
"What!?" Mamoru threw the flowers to the side and kneeled beside Usagi. His princess. She still wasn't awake, and he took her pulse, just as Michiru did. Nothing. Not even the faintest heartbeat.
"It can't be.." Mamoru did the same to Rei's wrist. There was no heartbeat. Everyone stood in a wave of silence. Especially the inner senshi. They could not find anything to say. Setsuna suddenly spoke.
"They're not dead." Haruka and Michiru turned towards her.
"How can you be so sure?" The eyes of guardian of Neptune began to fill with worry.
"I would know if they died. We would all know. I can still feel their life force.. It's just, far away.." Hotaru pulled at Setsuna's sleeve.
"Setsuna-mama, they're closer than you think." The others turned towards her.
"What do you mean?" Minako blinked, "Course they're here! They're right in front of us!" Hotaru shook her head.
"Their bodies are here. Their souls aren't. Their souls are close by, but just.." Hotaru tried to think of the word. "They're just in.. In.. Another dimension! Yeah! Another dimension!" The other scouts blinked.
"Another dimension?" Makoto set the thermos down and took out a handkerchief and went to Haruka's side, helping her clean up the soup. Haruka looked up.
"This doesn't make sense. How could they have gotten sent to another dimension without us knowing?"
"Perhaps.." Everyone turned to Ami, who was busily typing away on her laptop.
"Perhaps we do know where they are after all."

Miaka walked down the hall to Hotohori's room. Alone. She looked out a window as she saw Usagi ogling at a duck that had landed in front of her face. Nuriko grinned evilly and pushed Usagi heedlessly, crashing into the duck.
"Oops!" Nuriko giggled as she skipped away.
"QUUUUUACK!" The duck struggled to get free.
"Mmph!!!!" Usagi pushed herself off.
Miaka smiled and giggled as she walked on When she came to Hotohori's room, she breathed before she stepped in, sucking in the air, trying to think up what she was going to say. She lightly pushed the door open further then it was before. The emperor turned his head.
"Hello Miaka." He smiled warmly. Miaka beamed.
"Hi Hotohori." She walked forward.
"Is there something you wanted to ask me?" Miaka nodded her head, looking at the ground.
"The n-"
"Usagi is from your world.. We can all tell by the way she dresses, and acts." Hotohori laughed. The, there was an awkward silence. The happiness on Hotohori's face suddenly ceased and turned serious.
"Although she is a bright, sweet girl, I advise that you do not get too close to her." Hotohori warned. Miaka blinked.
"Why.. Why do you say that?"
"You yourself know what usually happens when a girl comes to this world from another.." His voice trailed off. Miaka thought silently.
Me. Yui. We both became priestesses. We both became enemies. That.. Couldn't be the same for Usagi.. Could it? Miaka looked up.
"Thanks for your advice Hotohori, but I really don't think we need to worry. Usagi's so nice! She couldn't ever possibly become another priestess against us! Well, I'm going to go now. Nuriko and Usagi are at each other's throats so I'm going to go check on them. Bye!" And Miaka ran out the door. Hotohori smiled softly.
"Miaka.. You're so kind and good-hearted.. Always seeing the best in everyone, never seeing the bad.." Then he looked down. "That's what I love about you.."
---
"Come ON! What's taking so long?"
"Cripes, whaddya mean what's takin' so long? It's only been 15 friggin' minutes! LOOK! It's rite there in front of yer face!" Tasuki pointed to the palace. Rei ran forward, sticking her face in the door.
"USAGI!!?!?"
"*sweatdrop* I think she might be in the garden."
"Well then LEAD THE WAY!" Rei yanked Tasuki by the arm and stomped around the palace.
"Where is she?! Stupid meat-ball head.." All of a sudden, they heard a trail of nervous laughter and the sound of crying nearby.
"I- *sob* am- *sob* really- *sob* HUNGRRRRY!!!"
"But we just had breakfast, no da."
"SO!?"
"Erm.. Ehehe.. I gotta go, no da. I've gotta go.. And.. Read! No da." And ChiChiri ran off as fast as he could, to get away from the blond, clumsy, odango- headed girl.
"USAGI!" Rei ran forward, still holding onto Tasuki.
That was a mistake.
Just as Rei ran forward, Tasuki, who had been standing very still, fell forward, bashing headfirst into a large, thick, red pillar. Rei quickly turned around, and ran to his side.
"Tasuki? Oh I'm so sorry!"
"Hiya mommy.. Did I git the chickens out?" And he fell unconscious.
"Oh man.. Is he ok?" Rei examined the growing red bump on Tasuki's forehead. Usagi smiled.
"He's fine! Oh REI!" She ran forth and hugged her.
"It's been DAYS since I've seen you!" Rei blinked.
"Days? It's only been like, less than an hour." Usagi blinked.
"No! It's been DAYS!"
"An Hour."
"Days."
"Hour."
"Days."
"Hour."
"Hour."
"Days- DARN IT!" Usagi laughed as Rei smacked Usagi across the back of her head, fuming.
"Owch.. Rei that hurt!"
"Usagi, where ARE we?" Rei finally had time to look at her surroundings, without any particular worry. The place reminded her vaguely of an old Chinese story she had read a long time ago when she was a child. It reminded her, of well, Ancient China. But that was impossible..
"We're in Hong-Nan! Miaka told me so!"
"Miaka?"
"That's me!" The lively, auburn haired girl ran down the steps of the palace.
"I'm Miaka!" She stuck a hand out towards Rei. Rei arched an eyebrow.
"Have we met somewhere before? You look so familiar!" Miaka blinked.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Rei Hino." Miaka jumped up.
"I know you! You're the priestess at the Cherry Hill Temple!!! I bought charms from you once, remember? And I made a wish at that tree!" Rei smiled.
"Oh yeah.. You were the same girl that made the wish that you could have all the food in the world-no wait, universe! Yeah! Then I told you that you weren't supposed to say your wish aloud, and you got all mad?" Miaka giggled.
"Yep! I never though I'd see you here!"
"I have to say the same. Hey could ya tell me, where exactly is.. Hong- Nan?"
"*sweatdrop* Erm.. In China."
"China?!? LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO I WAS IN MY OWN ROOM IN JAPAN!!!!"
"It's been days."
"Shut UP!"
"*sweatdrop* Time passes by different.. Here goes a couple of days maybe, while back in Japan it's only less than an hour." Rei blinked.
"That's not possible! China can't be THAT different! The only way something like that could happen was if we were in a total other world!" Miaka grinned nervously.
"Well, to tell ya the truth.. You are."
"I'M WHAT?!?"
