Aqua Cameo
Ch 3 Inners and Outers, and the space between.
Haruka and Michiru left the kitchen together. Haruka with a tray of tea, Michiru with a plate of snacks. The Inner senshi sat stunned in the living room of the Outers home. Minako sat playing with her hair, nervously twisting it about her fingers. Makoto stood behind her, cracking her knuckles. Rei sat in a chair calmly waiting for the news. Ami fidgeted, waiting. Usagi, simply stared at the plates of treats on the small coffee table and tried to think of a way to grab some before anyone saw her. When Haruka and Michiru took their seats, Setsuna began.
"Did each of you find a piece of Jewelry in your rooms this morning?" she asked, wasting no time.
The inner girls were visibly startled. They exchanged looks until Minako spoke up, taking a bracelet from her purse.
"I got a bracelet. It had padparadeshcans in it."
"It had what?" Makoto asked
"Orange sapphire's." Michiru replied "They're rare."
'Any one else?" Setsuna interjected
"I found a hair clip, a jade one, with little gold lightning bolts on it." Makoto said as she removed her item from her own purse.
One by one the other girls took out their own gifts. Ami removed the Sapphire earings from her bag. Rei took the ruby medallion from the pouch in her purse. Everyone looked expectanly at Usagi as she shoved cookies in her mouth. Realising she'd been caught she blushed and removed a pearl ring from a chain around her neck. Setsuna shook her head and chuckled as she looked over the tokens.
"Ones missing." she said "Usagi have you spoken to Mamoru today?"
"Actually, no. Mamo-chan has a full day of classes today."
"Well, we have to find him and tell him about tis before he mistakenly puts that medal on."
She turned to go. Haruka stood up and cleared her throat.
"Um, Setsuna? Mind telling us about these, uh, items before leaving?"
Setsuna sighed. 'Might as well do it now. They are going to have to know anyway' she thought.
"This is a very long story, that began a very long time ago. When I was just a child."
Her Audience merely exchanged a glance before looking to Setsuna once agian. Setsuna took a deep breath and readied herself for the task at hand. 'This isn't going to be pretty' she thought as she began the Tale.
