The One Called Jupiter Part 9

By Buzz-chan

I have yet to recieve compensation for writing my story so theres really no reason to sue me. Besides, I only have my teddy bear Jupiter and ya can't have him!!!!!!

The four girls and two cats continued to sit in the temple. They knew Lita was in trouble. They knew that some unkown man was part of it. But that was all they knew. Serena's eyes lit up a little and she looked at her friends, "Hey, do you remember the last day she was at school?"

"Yeah Serena, what about it?" Raye looked up from the diary sitting in the middle of the circle the four girls formed.

"Don't you guys remember? That day, at lunch, we made her mad and she went and sat by herself," Serena looked at Raye.

"Yeah, thats right. And then that guy.." Mina spoke up.

"Chris," Ami put in.

"He came up to her all bandaged and sat next to her," Mina finished her sentence.

"But he hasn't been in school either," Ami shook her head.

"Exactly! Maybe hes this guy in her diary!" Serena stood up, unsure of what to do next.

"But where do we find him at? Does any one know where he lives?" Raye asked.

"I'll break into the school records and find out," the group was surprised at Ami's suggestion.

"What? I'm worried about Lita just as much as you are. I want to find her too. Even if it means doing something I don't like."

"All right, but this time, I'm going with you," Serena stated.

"Lets go," Ami stood up too. "Wait Serena. I want to go too," Luna jumped into the blonde's arms.

The two girls tiptoed up to the school as quietly as possible. They couldn't afford to be found out, not if they wanted to find their friend. They got lucky and found a window that had been left cracked. Ami went in first, followed by Luna and then Serena. They found their way to a computer and turned it on. It wasn't long before Ami was typing away, searching for the tiniest bit of information on Chris.

"Ah, found something," Ami pulled up a profile revealing a picture of Chris. His black hair was kind of messy and his dull grey-black eyes stared out at them. They sent chills down Serena's spine.

"But, there isn't a whole lot of info on him. It doesn't even list an address. How can that be possible?" Serena was puzzled.

"It isn't. The school has to have an address listed for every student," Luna read the little information on the boy.

"Then he has to be an enemy. How else could he get away with that?" Serena shook her fist in the air.

"But why would he enlist in the school, and what does he want with Lita? This doesn't make any sense," Ami shook her head.

"Thats what we have to find out. Come on girls, we need to report this back to Raye and Mina," Luna jumped down from the table and waited for Serena and Ami to meet her in the door way. It only took Ami a few minutes to shut down the computer and the three of them were gone.

Ogmak knelt down before his lord. "Overlord Cain, I have come at your request."

"Is there any change in her condition?" His voice had indifferent tone.

"No, she is still unconcious. I don't understand it Overlord. I was exposing her to the crystal in her sleep and it didn't have this reaction," Ogmak seemed shaken.

"Here, Jupiter recieves a much larger dose of the crystal. Maybe that is why she has gone into a coma."

"But will she stay like this or will she eventually wake up?" Ogmak was getting worried. Lita had fallen into a deep coma after coming to the Black Universe for only 3 days. It was sudden and unexplainable.

"Only time will tell. But I can only give you so long Ogmak. If she has not woken up in 1 earth month, Jupiter will be considered a lost cause and you a failure. You had better hope that she wakes up, you won't like the punishment if she doesn't," Overlord turned from the room and made his way to his own room.

"Lita, please wake up. Not for me, for you. You have to wake up and destroy the Moon Princess," Ogmak left the confrence room as well.

~* 1 month later *~

The man approached the apartment unaware that it was empty. He had left a few messages on her machine telling her when he'd show up. They were never answered. He figured maybe she had suddenly gotten really busy. If it was neccesary, he could stay in a hotel or something.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK............Ken waited for what seemed the longest time but there was no answer. He had been so worried since that call he'd gotten from Lita's friend, Ami. Why wasn't she answering the door? What was wrong? KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.......Still, he tried again, and again, but there was no answer. Ken tried the knob. It was open. (AN: bad Mina and Ami! leaving Lita's door unlocked!) He walked in hesitantly. The lights were off and it was obvious Lita hadn't been there for a while. The place was coated in dust and Ken knew Lita would never allow that in her house. He came across Lita's desk. Laying on it was an address book. (AN: how convvviieenant!) He picked it up and looked for Ami Mizuno's number. Ken picked up Lita's phone but found it dead. So, he left the aparment and made his way down to the street to find a pay-phone. Ken didn't take long to find one. He immediatley threw some coins in and dialed Ami's number.

"Hello, Mizuno residence," The feminine voice answered.

"Hello, is Ami there?" Ken asked.

"Yes, hold on a minute," Ken could here the woman shout for Ami in a muffled tone. "She'll be right here."

"Thanks."

"Hello?" After a few moments Ami came on the line.

"Hi Ami, this is Ken. I was just at Lita's apartment and it looks like no ones been there in quite awhile." Silence answered Ken. "Ami?"

"I'm sorry Ken. Lita's been missing for over a month. We don't know where she's at." "WHAT!?!" Ken becamed panicked.

"Everyone is searching for her. We just don't know," It was obvious that Ami was crying. "Oh no, I have to find her. Why is she missing? What happened?" Ken began rambling off a ton of questions.

"We don't know why shes gone, but trust me, we're doing everything we can. Ken, do you have a place to stay?"

"I was suppose to stay with Lita." Ken's voice became deathly quiet.

"Can you call me back in about 10 minutes? I'll ask Darien if you can stay with him," Ami's voice was soft.

"All right."

"Bye Ken."

Ken hung up the reciever without saying goodbye. It just hurt too badly to say anything. His best friend was missing and no one seemed to know where she was. The ten minutes passed slowly. The whole world seemed to move slower than usual but Ken finally called Ami again.

"Hello, Ken?" Ami answered.

"Yeah," He was still in shock.

"Darien said you could stay with him. I'll give you his address."

"I have it. I have Lita's address book," Ken looked at the tiny book in his hand. He had given it to her when he left for Europe not to long ago.

"Ken, go get some sleep or something. We will find her." Ami tried to sound sure of what she was saying.

"Bye Ami," Ken hung up the phone and made his way towards Darien's apartment.

In the lavish room the brunette laid still. She hadn't moved for quite some time. Today was her last chance to save herself and Ogmak.
