Chapter 3







Usagi awoke in her room. She dazedly remembers what had happened the last four hours. She looks down at her communicator and pressed the all call button.

Minako and Haruka with Mamoru, ran through the city when they got beeped. Minako and Haruka opened their communicators to see a small picture of their leader and princess.

"Usagi!" Minako sighs, "Thank Kami-sama, that you're alright!"

"Where are you?" Haruka asked.

"Senshi," She says, "I'm fine. I'm at home at the moment." She looks away and rushes as she says, "Shrine, tomorrow after school. There's something I need to tell you! Ja!"

And the tiny screen went blank.

"At least she's safe." Mamoru mutters and starts to walk off, "See you tomorrow, Ja ne!"

The next day, the Senshi awaited for the arrival of their friend. Makoto leans back against the wall. "Were is she?!"

Haruka looks at her, "You should know," She says and looks back at the ground, "You're in the same class as she is!"

Ami sighs, "And she doesn't have detention today either."

They just shook their heads, if there was anything to say about Usagi was that she was nearly always late.

Just then they heard the sound of running and looked up to see Usagi running up to meet them.

"Gomen ne, that I was late minna!" She took a moment to catch her breath, "But Okaa-san can be every persistent about things!"

They all suddenly grinned. They knew how Tsukino Ikuko can be.

"Ah, well," Minako smirks, "some mothers can be that way."

Usagi rolls her eyes, "Whatever, Mina."

"So, Koneko?" Haruka stood up and stretches, "what's this all about?"

"Yeah," Makoto looks at her curiously, "what's going on girl?"

Taking a deep breath Usagi announced, "I saw Diamond." That stopped the Inners and Setsuna for a moment. They all froze.

"You're serious?" Rei asked, remembering how they fought the Black Moon Family.

Usagi nods, "Deadly." Then frowns, "But.he's different now."

Luna stares at her, "What do you mean..different?"

She shrugs, "I don't know, Luna." She told the feline, "He's just.different."

"Excuse us," Michiru says, "But who is this Diamond person?"

Setsuna and the others explained to them just who and what the Black Moon Family was.



"Should we intervene yet?" The man asked the young woman, "They will need our help."

Another woman, an older one, looks at the young woman with honest chocolate brown eyes. "Are you sure they will accept us?"

The young woman merely shrugs then nods at the man's question.

"When are we going to help them?" Another man, younger than the first, asked.

"It must be soon," A third man states. "or else, they will not survive this."

A fourth man nods in agreement.

The young woman looks over her group and finally nods, "Then so be it."



AN: Weeelllll...! What's going on here? Diamond?!? Alive!? What the..? I thought he died. And what's this? Who are these people? Oh well, Ja ne folks! R&R.
