Chapter 4: Wickedness
Usagi pounded the butt of the staff on the ground, making black and gold ribbons come from it, surrounding her, and then formed an outfit on her body. She wore a gold shimmering tank top, a pair of leather black shorts, and a pair of leather black knee boots with thick heels. Her hair was taken out of its meatballs and restyled to cut waist short, and in a black hair band. Her eyes had black eyeliner, making her look even darker than usual.
Her eyes flashed silver at the Sailor Scouts, then back to dark blue. She waited for them to transform.
They finally got over the shock and then transformed.
"VENUS STAR POWER!!!"
"MARS STAR POWER!!!"
"JUPITER STAR POWER!!!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!!!"
Mamoru held out a red rose, and then transformed to Tuxedo Mask. Rini was off on the sidelines, watching Usagi with her ruby red eyes.
Usagi held her staff in front of her, and let the gleam reflect off the sun and let the Sailor Scouts fear the sharp and the flawless blade. Venus went first.
"LOVE ME CHAIN!!!"
Usagi blocked it easily with a quick swish of her staff; the power was absorbed into the blade of it. She chuckled a bit, looking at Venus' shocked face, but the shock turned over to terror quickly as she ducked behind Tuxedo Mask, who sweatdropped as Usagi came forward, intent on getting Sailor Venus first.
Tuxedo Mask took out his cane, and extended it; ready to block anything she threw at him. But Usagi was smarter than that, so she just decided to play along with it for a while. No use in spoiling the fun while it's still only beginning.
Usagi dispersed an attack upon the caped man. She pulled out a fancy pipe that was in a neat design, twirling and twisting all over the place. She placed it on her mouth, and began to play. The tune was sweet and cool, all of the sailor scouts were too lost in the beautiful music to realize that the sun was slowly turning black, and the sky was soon glittered with stars as the pipe played. Rini seemed to realize it though, because she was shivering a bit when the sun's warmth was gone, and the night's wind started to ruffle her clothes. She was cold.
Usagi noticed this, and her smile became wider. She blew harder on the pipe, and then the music became less hypnotizing. The sailor scouts soon shook out of it, and watched as she played the pipe, they looked around, and soon heard a breeze, it blew hard against their uniforms, and Tuxedo Mask's cape was getting heavy and he was starting to fall into the wind. Rini cried for him as he was starting to get swept away. Rini ran. She ran into the wind, and she soon disappeared.
Usagi screamed in rage. "You can run, but you can't hide girly! I know of ways to scare little girls that could make you die of a heart attack!" She disappeared, but her pipe was still playing loudly, and soon it became a great tune of horror, and they soon split up to try and find Rini before Usagi did.
***
Rini ran fast, she was running through the city, but she could hear Usagi's voice in her head. One of her least favorite songs, it was about being scared, and how the night can get to you. Usagi was mocking her, trying to make her scared.
*Oh my gosh!! It's working!! * Rini wasn't scared, she was terrified.
-Howling and prowling Your shivering, quivering, SPELLBOUND! -
-They're out to get you to capture and make you spellbound-
-You cannot run! And you cannot hide! Yeah you gotta face it honey Things go bump in the night Wherever you run, wherever you hide! Yeah you gotta face it baby Thing go bump, bump, bump in the night! -
Suddenly, images of Rini's mother appeared, Neo Queen Minako never cared much for her daughter. That was mostly why Rini had always felt so alone. Minako only spent time with her husband. Rini felt alone, she could see the park ahead of her. She ran there, knowing all too well that Usagi was right behind her, watching her as she ran with emotionless eyes.
***
Rini sat in the park, all the running made her tired. She was crying, she was frightened. She looked around, as if she could feel someone coming to get her. There was wind behind her, and there was a harsh voice in the air, and she still heard Usagi's pipe.
"So, this is where the Small Lady goes when she gets scared."
Rini turned to see Usagi standing there, and Rini felt the warm feeling in her heart again. She felt safe, but she didn't know what to trust anymore.
"Are you going to hurt me?" She asked, her hands cupped in front of her, and she was shivering with fear, but she felt warm and safe inside. She was confused.
Usagi bent down. "What makes you think I'm going to hurt you?" She said, to the child, she was eye level with Rini, looking her straight in her eyes, ruby red clashing with crystal blue. Usagi's face showed no emotion, but then she smirked, and wiped away one of Rini's tears. "Cheer up kid, I have no reason to hurt you. But I want you to come with me, you have to answer some questions for us." She said, softly.
Rini looked at Usagi doubtfully. Usagi sighed at the girl. "You're a bit more cautious then most girls your age. I guess you get it from you scardy mother." She stood up to look down at the girl. Usagi walked down the sidewalk, and a black portal appeared in front of her. "You can come with me, or you can await your fate with the sailor scouts. There is no way they can defeat me. I am more powerful then they dare to think. What do you want? It's your choice." Usagi turned to Rini.
*Why am I being so nice to this brat! This is killing me! I should just get the damn brat and get back to the palace! * Usagi was getting frustrated with herself.
Rini was strongly debating weather to go with Usagi, or run for her life.
She heard Usagi's soft voice again. "Like I said, wherever you run, wherever you hide, I'll find you, I'll haunt you till you come running into the portal. You gotta face it honey, things go crazy at night." She smiled, a nasty smile when Rini turned to her again.
Usagi was surprised when she felt a pair of arms surround one of her legs. She looked down and saw the little girl, no taller than one of her legs hug her by the leg. Usagi smiled a bit, and patted the pink haired girl's hair.
"Come, I know someone who would like to have a nice long chat with you. Don't worry," She said when she heard Rini begin to cry as if she was in trouble for something. She sighed, and picked up the little girl. "You're alright. I'll be there to, I won't leave you, I promise." Rini buried her head in Usagi's sleeve. Usagi sighed again. "This is way to commercial." She was about to carry Rini through the portal.
"HOLD IT!!"
She found Mars behind her, threatening to throw a fireball at her if she moved one more step.
"Rini! Come on! Come here and we'll get out of here!" Mars said, reaching for Rini, who was still in Usagi's arms, crying.
Rini looked up at Mars. Faces of the sailor scouts came to mind, the fighting of Minako and Mamoru with her, her mother and her father who were supposed to love her, hated her. Rini cried even more. "Leave me alone!" She cried, and once again buried herself in Usagi's arms.
Mars looked helpless, about to cry even that Rini was choosing Usagi over her.
"We won't hurt her. We just want to talk to her, I'll bring her back once we're done and we've got the information we want." Usagi assured Mars, feeling only the slightest bit of pity for the princess of Mars. Mars nodded, and let Usagi walk through the portal with Rini.
"Take care of her, Princess Serenity."
