Moon Cats

Chapter 19

Akira Hagisaki walked through the brightly lit hallways of Tokyo General, his two bodyguards several steps behind him. His eyes watched the Hospitals room pass before finally finding the one he looked for. "Stay out here." He ordered.

The two guards took places beside the door as the Oyabun stepped inside the room. Akira's eyes flinched at the heart monitors and IV bags hanging above the room's soul occupant. "Mako, the doctor said I could speak with you."

The old Yakuza soldier turned his head with a slight grimace of pain. "Akira? I'm sorry I couldn't stop him."

"You took two bullets trying, my old friend, while no other guard even saw the intruder! You are not the one who failed!"

"Not their fault."

"How can you say that? Kidnappers have taken my daughter, and almost killed you, and it's not their fault?" The retiring crime boss seethed.

The soldier caught his boss, and oldest friends, hand. "Akira... It was Akuma... Your son took Reika."

"What? Why would he do that?"

Mako focused his eyes on the other man, the father, trying to make him see the truth in his own eyes. "Your son wants...to return to the 'good old days' of chaos. Reika's... Gifts... Is what he wants to use. Is what he's already used!" His other hand pushed a button on the bed controls, and the television turned on, the news displaying scenes from the police station.

"Thanks to the Sailor Senshi, and two mysterious cat people, the police and civilians trapped inside by the stone monsters have been rescued. Spokesmen for the police refuse to comment on if these are related to the last two monsters that destroyed the Elegant Seas restaurant, and the Icy Delights ice cream parlor."

The television switched off, Mako's eyes never having left Akira's face even as it hardened. "He made her... Make the monsters. He's insane, Akira."

Akira shook off his shock, and frowned. First his youngest son and now his oldest friend were telling him the same things. "Maybe you're right. Rest, my old friend. I have some family business to take care of."

"So how do we find them?" Artemis asked. The group had gathered back at Makoto's house, and had just finished settling in and checking over their thankfully minor injuries.

Ami looked up from the Mercury Computer, finding he and Luna, back in their cat forms, sitting on a table. "I have written a program to help us locate Golems, but I'm afraid they will have to be fairly close for it to work."

"Well, we may as well try it." Luna said thoughtfully. "We might get lucky."

Ami nodded, and hit a few keys activating the program. The compact super computer started beeping immediately. "Wait a second, this says there's one right outside!"

"What?" Yelled all the other Senshi, the two cats, and Mamoru. They all jumped when a loud tapping came from the window. When they looked the saw a tiny neko-jin pounding on the pane of glass.

"Somehow I expected them to send something bigger." Usagi commented, blinking in confusion.

"That's not an enemy!" Artemis exclaimed. "That's Fred!"

"Fred?" Luna asked. "Who and what is Fred?"

"This little guy," Artemis grunted as he hopped over to the windowsill and started pushing up on the window with his paws. "Is how Reika sent her letters to me." The white cat finally managed to shove the windows open. "Fred, did Reika send you?"

The tiny Golem shook his head no, then grabbed Artemis by his chest fur and tried to pull him after him, out the window.

"Ow! Hey! What are you doing?" The white cat yelled.

The statuette released his fur, realizing he wasn't going to move Artemis, and instead stated making beckoning gestures.

"You want me to come with you? Where?"

The little Golem paused for a moment, then climbed down the windowsill and ran to Makoto's coffee table, ignoring Usagi and Minako as they dodged out of his headlong charge. Climbing up he grabbed a piece of junk mail from the small pile he found there and waved it in the air like a banner.

"Do you want to take me to Reika?" The golem nodded and Artemis gestured to the other occupants of the room. "They can help to Fred. Is that what you want? Help?"

Again, this time hopping up and down with excitement, he nodded.

"Well I guess that problems solved." Usagi winked at Ami. "And we didn't even have to use the Mercury computer this time!"

The blue haired Senshi shrugged. "It needs a rest, anyway."

____________________________________________________________________________________

Akira Hagisaki leaned against his expensive sedan, calmly glancing at his watch. He was standing outside a small apartment building, the sun set and night dark, in the bad part of town. The large, angry looking man next to him guaranteed that he went unmolested, however.

He stood up straight when his other bodyguard came out of the old tenement, dragging a terrified young man with him. When they arrived the Oyabun of the Hagisaki Yakuza Family spun open a pearl handled Balisong knife and considered the blade as he spoke.

"Arashi, isn't it? My name is Akira Hagisaki and I am looking for my son. I understand my Akuma is a good friend of yours..."

AN: First off I am sorry this chapter took so long to put out. Life has been a little chaotic but I am still sorry to have slacked off.

Second, for any wondering, Balisong is the company that created the Butterfly knife. They are also the BEST company to get them from thanks to their Lifetime "You break it, we'll fix it" guarantee which is matched only by Craftsman! Just a plug for a fine blade.

On a more cheerful note...I'M BACK! And moon cats isn't even near done yet! This story will finish soon, but I will begin a new chapter in the saga, and this one will be of the Epic scale you expect from Sailor Moon...and the cats are definitely going to have a staring role. Otherwise Luna and Artemis might beat me up!

Thanks for reading, and now, ON TO THE CONCLUSION (Coming soon, to a website near you.)
