That's ok! I'm gonna finish this fic sumday!
Chapter 3
"There must be someone behind all of this!" Haruka exclaimed angrily. Mamoru stood off to the side, thinking quietly.
"People don't just faint and lose their souls!" Michiru stepped forward.
"I completely agree with her. Although I'm not quite sure who on Earth would want us to be sent to another world." Ami looked up.
"Maybe they're not from Earth." Setsuna turned to Ami.
"It could be someone from another planet. Or another solar system perhaps. Anything's possible." Makato put her hand on her hand, thinking about the whole situation.
"We're missing something here.. Some clue." Makato stepped back towards Rei and Usagi, falling back on the bowl of spilt soup.
"Watch out!" Mamoru jumped forward.
"AH!" A swirl of red smoke enveloped her, and that's the last thing Makato saw.
In her own world.

"So you're telling me that we got sucked into some other world that YOU got sucked into by a book and now you're some priestess of Sukaku?" Rei blinked.
"Suzaku." Miaka nodded.
"And you're supposed to summon Suzaku with Seven Celestial Warriors and wish for happiness and safety for yourself and the kingdom."
"Yep."
"So who's around to protect you? The whole thing sounds like there's probably a bunch of bad guys after you since this Suzaku person sounds real powerful." All of a sudden, Tasuki stomped into Miaka's room, where they were currently at, bandaged and with an enormous bump on his forehead looking entirely pissed.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN' ON HERE?!?" Tasuki fell down on the ground and crawled over to Rei. (And went Chibi!) He rubbed his head and waved his arms and legs frantically.
"CRIPES! WHY DIDJA GO AND YANK ME INTO A FRIGGIN' PILLAR? THAT HURT!" Tasuki whined. Rei smacked Tasuki on the back of the head.
"We were just talking about something important you idiot." Usagi giggled.
"I'm no idiot!" Tasuki plopped down on his butt, pouted, and listened. Miaka sighed.
"*sweatdrop* What were we talkin' bout again?" Miaka's stomach rumbled.
"Eheh.. Sorry.. The more hungry I get the more memory I lose.." Tasuki scoffed.
"Whaddya talkin' about? Yer always hungry!" Miaka smacked Tasuki from behind with a big pan.
"NOT ALWAYS!" Rei watched with a big sweatdrop.
"Poor guy," Usagi laughed.
"Although, well.. Now that you mention it, I'm hungry too!" Everyone fell over.
"Miaka and you are like twins!" Rei remarked.
"Dinner time!" Everyone turned to see Chiriko standing at the door, smiling. Rei grinned, walked over, and bent down to his size.
"What's your name cutie?" Chiriko blushed.
"Chiriko." Rei stuck a hand out.
"Well nice to meet ya Chiriko, I'm Rei!" Usagi ran and jumped onto Rei, poking her head over Rei's shoulder.
"LEAD US TO THE DINING TABLE!" Rei fell flat on her face and pushed herself. Chiriko grew a sweatdrop.
"Ok.. This way."
"ONWARD HO!" Miaka screamed.
"I'M HUNGRY!" All of a sudden, Miaka jumped on to Usagi's back, who had just again jumped onto poor Rei who fell down all over again. Tasuki shook his head.
"Idiots." And he followed the bumbling group on the way to dinner.

"So Red, you say you saved this girl here from drowning?" Nuriko said amazed as they sat down.
"Yeah, so, what's the big deal? Didn't think I could do it huh?" Tasuki kicked back in his chair, laying his feet on the table. Tamahome turned towards Tasuki.
"I thought you couldn't swim."
"I can't." Everyone blinked.
"So how did you manage to save someone from drowning?" Tasuki's eyes bugged out.
"CRIPES! I never thought of that!" Nuriko blinked.
"But then how DID you save this girl?"
"I don't know!" Rei turned towards Tasuki.
"Was the water deep?"
"Pretty deep- GAH!" Tasuki yelled as Usagi elbowed him in the face trying to get a meat ball.
"Well then I don't see how ya could've done it. No- DA!" ChiChiri fell off his chair as Miaka jumped over him to get the last piece of squid sushi. Hotohori laughed. Chiriko tapped Rei on the shoulder.
"Uhm.. Excuse me.. Rei?" Rei faced Chiriko with a warm smile.
"Yes Chiriko?"
"It's possible that something possessed Tasuki to swim."
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah! Who'd wanna save this ugly wretch from drowning?" Rei smacked Tasuki upside the head.
"Heh, Tasuki's getting beat up by a girl!" Tamahome laughed. Tasuki suddenly jumped onto Tamahome and the both of them started wrestling. Chiriko tried his best to continue his explanation.
"Anyways, *sweatdrop* I heard the first time someone used really strong magic around here, the priestess-"
"That's ME!" Miaka said through a bowl of rice.
"-The priestess got amazed at the sight. So I've pieced together that maybe in your world, though I MIGHT be wrong, magic is very rare."
"Who told ya that?" Miaka blinked. Chiriko pointed to Nuriko, who waved nervously. Miaka shrugged and went back to eating nearly everything in sight. Rei sighed, turned to Chiriko and smiled.
"You're quite smart for a boy your age." Chiriko blushed. Hotohori nodded.
"Yes he is. He even took the K'o-Ju exam." Rei blinked.
"The WHAT?" Tamahome and Tasuki suddenly stopped fighting, with Tamahome on top, holding Tasuki down with his hands.
"In China, one can only enter the bureaucracy through a very difficult exam. And that's the K'o-Ju." Tamahome said as-a-matter-of-factly. Tasuki sneered.
"Stop trying to act like yer the smartest."
"Stop being a pain in the-" Nuriko rolled his eyes.
"You two! Just stop and finish eating before there's nothing left!" Nuriko looked at the table, while Tamahome and Tasuki suddenly jumped back to their seats. Just then, everyone realized, that while they had been talking.. The terrible twosome had been making their way through the food. Almost every plate was bare. Miaka and Usagi seemed to be talking.. No, arguing. Again. About.. Food.
"I WANT THE LAST EGG ROLL!"
"NO I DO!"
"YOU GOT THE DUMPLING!"
"WELL YOU GOT THE SQUID!"
"IT'S MINE!"
"MINE!"
"MINE!" For a long period of time, Miaka and Usagi played chopstick war, each trying to best the other, while everyone else watched with a sweatdrop. After a while though, Nuriko finally got tired of their bickering, took the egg roll, and split it in half.
"Hey! We haven't properly introduced ourselves, no da. I'm ChiChiri!" ChiChiri waved and smiled.
"I'm Tamahome."
"The greedy bastard who can't get enough of-" Tasuki was cut off as Tamahome jumped on Tasuki again and the two continued fighting until Nuriko pulled one off the other and threw them to opposite ends of the table.
"I'm sure the peacemaker today huh? Anyways, let's continue with the formalities!" Hotohori nodded.
"I'm Hotohori." Rei blinked.
"The emperor." Nuriko added.
"You're the emperor?!" Hotohori nodded with a laugh.
"Ya don't think any regular guy had such a good place do ya? Oh, by the way, I'm Nuriko." Rei blinked again.
"You said guy." Nuriko shrugged.
"Yeah, the EMPEROR'S a GUY!"
"But but.."
"But what?" Hotohori smiled. Rei turned to him in puzzlement.
"BUT YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!" Nuriko and ChiChiri fell over.
"That I am." Tasuki nudged Rei.
"Nuriko's a guy too."
"YOU ARE?!" Rei squealed. Nuriko whammed Tasuki from behind with probably the biggest mallet in the history of Anime.
"Why couldn't ya just have left things alone?!"
"Woman-wannabe." Tasuki teased.
"At least I don't look like I sharpen my teeth on a rock for cryin' out loud."
"What?" For the first time, Rei noticed Tasuki had fangs. Rei started poking at his fangs.
"What are you, a werewolf or something?" Tasuki scooted away.
"Nunya damn business." Rei crossed her arms.
"Fine! Be that way!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"FINE!" Each of them had their backs turned to each other, each promising themselves that they would not speak to the others for the rest of the night. Tasuki growled.
"Girls! Feh! Who needs them?" And he finished the last of his meal, stood up, and walked away.
---
Minako and Mamoru ran over to Makato's side, sliding her off the small table where she had fallen over. Minako looked at her. Haruka walked closer, and took her pulse. Nothing.
"Something's not adding up here! We've all been standing here for a long time, and none of us got transported to some other world until someone fell over soup!" Minako got up and scratched her head.
"Is it possible every time someone gets in a minor accident that maybe you get the soul sucked out of ya and sent somewhere else?" Ami still typed away on her computer. Mamoru tilted his head.
"I doubt it."
"What is possible is that something might be here in the room with us at the every moment, watching our every move. If I could only detect it.." Ami muttered silently to herself while everyone watched. Hotaru blinked.
"I don't think that you're right Minako."
"But we don't have anything else to go on. Usagi got sick. Rei could've fallen on the ground, and Makato fell backwards. Lemme try something.." Minako thought for a minute, and suddenly ran into the wall.
"Minako!" Michiru ran over. Mamoru bent down.
"Are you alright?"
"Am I still here?" Minako replied with stars floating around her head. Michiru laughed slightly.
"Yes, you are still here at the temple."
"Aw phooey," Minako said in a child-like voice, and her head fell limp. Michiru stood up. Mamoru took her pulse. It was still there.
"You think she got sent to the other world?"
"I doubt her soul will be going anywhere, since she did that on purpose. Minako should've thought things over before she went and bumped into the wall like that. Plus, from the look on Mamoru's face, I see her pulse is still going." Setsuna replied.
"We still haven't figured anything OUT!" Haruka said impatiently.
"For all we know, the others could be in danger, or worse, they could even be dead!" A look of horror spread over Michiru's face.
"Oh my! I didn't think of that before!" Setsuna smiled.
"Don't worry yourselves, Usagi and the others are fine. They know perfectly well how to take care of themselves."
"Aha!" Ami said suddenly.
"What?" Haruka ran over, Hotaru following, peeking over Ami's shoulder. Mamoru walked behind all of them, the tallest out of the four.
"What didja find?"
"I haven't found anything yet, but I just realized, with my computer's help, that every time someone is snatched away from our world, there has always been a source of water." Haruka nearly jumped.
"Of course! The soup for Makato.." She walked over to Rei, and picked up her hand, which was wet with the soup
"..And Rei, but Usagi.."
"The washcloth on her head. " Mamoru added.
"Yes." Ami nodded. Haruka ran forward.
"You and Michiru are the one most in tone with water. Have any of you felt something, strange?" Everyone went silent, and Ami only shook her head. Then Michiru walked forward.
"I.. I didn't want to worry you." Michiru put a hand on Haruka's arm.
"The only thing that could worry me was that if anyone I knew and loved was in trouble." Haruka held Michiru's hand.
"I need to know.." Michiru lowered her head and took her hand away.
"From the minute we walked into this room, I felt a presence I had not felt before. I thought maybe it was just Rei's house, maybe she had cast a spirit to protect her room. Then I wondered, why was it only her room? I couldn't make out anything about the presence at first, but as time passed.." Michiru's voice trailed off.
"..You could tell it wasn't on our side." Haruka continued. All of a sudden, a cold wind brushed against Ami's back, shocking her completely from head to toe. Setsuna turned to Ami, just in time the see the look on her face.
"Ami? Are you alright? Ami? AMI!" The senshi of Mercury breathed in short breaths, her voice almost gone, and her body frozen. Sparks flew out of her laptop, more and more, until the whole laptop completely exploded. Ami reached for it, but something, something unseen, held her back.
"I, I.. Can.. Just.. Barely.. B-b-breathe.." Ami's voice grew softer and huskier, and she pulled at the air, as if trying to grab onto an invisible handle. She finally collapsed to the ground. Haruka shook her by the shoulders. The remainders of the laptop flew against the wall, with no hope of ever being able to be repaired.
"Ami! I want you to listen to me! Stay here! Hang on for now! Hang ON!" The color in Ami's face abruptly changed from her usual pale color to a ghastly light purple. Hotaru ran forward.
"Please Ami! Stay here with Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama and Setsuna-mama and Mamoru and me!" She looked over to Minako.
"Even Minako-chan will be worried if you aren't here when she wakes!" Setsuna put a hand on Haruka's shoulder.
"Let her go Haruka, there is nothing we can do if we do not know what is causing this." Michiru unveiled a mirror from behind. The deep aqua mirror.
"Show me the truth!" She reflected the mirror against every side of the wall, seeing nothing until she came to the corner of the room. Something azure glowing, tiny, almost naked to the human eye. But it was visible. A loud shriek filled the room, and Ami suddenly dropped to the floor in Haruka's arms, awake, but almost dead.
