Chapter 7
It was almost 8:00 in the morning, and nothing was moving in the entire castle.or so it seemed. Throughout the entire night, the inner scouts had been training to raise their levels. A door opened slowly, creaking slightly. Cambertin's head peeked out from behind it. She looked this way and that, and then stepped out into the hallway, smiling. Rei, Ami, Minako, and Makoto all walked out of the room, soon followed by Serenity and Ariya. None of them were wearing their sailor suits; instead, just some casual clothes.
They walked down the hallway, none of them speaking a word. Serenity led them into the dining room for an early breakfast, closing the door quietly behind her. All of them let out a sigh of relief. Nobody in the castle had woken up. If they had, an extremely odd sight would've met their sight. Rei wrapped several strands of hair around her finger, staring at the red and purple streaks that had formed in it.
"This is so cool!" exclaimed Minako, stars in her eyes, "We get color streaks in our hair, our eye color is brighter, and now we get super cool fighting outfits!"
"Minako," sighed Makoto, "Don't you see that we're preparing for the fight of our lives soon?"
"Of course! I'm just trying to enjoy myself while I can!"
Everyone, even Makoto, laughed at Minako's reply. She was right, because they should enjoy themselves while they could. There was nothing more they could do to prepare for the battle ahead of them. All they could do now, was wait. They were all eating silently, but Minako was staring curiously at Cambertin. At first, being so interested in the food, Cambertin didn't notice. An uneasy feeling sent shivers up and down her back, and Cambertin looked up, straight at Minako.
"What?" she asked, "Is there food all over my face or something?"
"No," replied Minako, "It's nothing like that. I was just wondering.why aren't there any colored streaks in your hair? Everyone else has them, but you don't!"
Cambertin looked over at Ariya, who wasn't looking at Cambertin. In fact, it was as though she was refusing to look her in the eye. Finally, Cambertin looked back at Minako, smiling,
"It's nothing important. I guess not all scouts get that in their hair."
"Oh, okay. I was just curious."
They all went back to eating their breakfast. Not wanting to catch Cambertin's attention, Rei observed her with occasional glances. Finally, looking over at Serenity, Rei watched her until she caught her eye. Serenity knew that Rei had something to say, and she obviously didn't want to say it here or she already would have. She nodded slightly, and then got up from the table.
"Excuse me," she explained, "Rei, there's something I remembered just now. I found something last week that you might be interested in. Come with me now before I forget again."
Rei got up from the table and followed Serenity out of the room. No one seemed to notice that something was up, except for Cambertin, but she continued eating as though nothing was wrong. Rei followed Serenity down several corridors into a room that was completely unoccupied. Closing the door behind her, Serenity took a seat on a couch.
"You have something on your mind, Rei?" asked Serenity, watching her intently.
"Yes," replied Rei, "I have a feeling that Cambertin and Ariya are hiding something from us, but more so Cambertin."
"Is this about Minako's observance?"
"Not really, but did you notice the way Ariya ignored her during that time?"
"Yes, but I wouldn't think much about it."
"It's not just that, though. I feel the energy that is emitted from us all. I feel it from Ariya and Cambertin too. Ariya's feels slightly different, but I'm guessing that it's because she's from a different time. I felt it from Cambertin too."
"Yes, go on."
"Yet, there's something more to Cambertin's. You wouldn't feel it if you just brushed her over real quick. Even if you were observing her closely, you probably wouldn't notice. I felt something within her, but it is hidden by all of the other energy. I can't put my finger on what it is, but all I know is that it isn't radiating all of the light energy. In fact, it feels dark; not negative, mind you, just dark. It's probably nothing bad, but there's no way it's good either. She's like a ticking bomb, Usagi-chan, but I can't tell you when or what will happen when she does go off. I have the feeling that it's happened before, so she and Ariya must know about it."
Serenity had listened carefully to every word. When Rei finished, she nodded, now completely serious. "All right then. I want you to watch her carefully, Rei. I'll see what I an do, but I don't think I'll be able to do much. Tell Minako what you've told me. Maybe she'll be able to slip some information out of her."
Rei and Serenity left the room and joined the others where they were waiting outside of the dining room. When Minako saw them, she waved them over.
"We're planning on how we're going to do this," she explained. All seven huddled together as Minako explained an idea she had for a plan. That's when Sailor Pluto walked into the area. Serenity looked up upon her entrance.
"Setsuna!" she exclaimed. "Thank goodness you're all right! Where are the others?"
Setsuna smiled and replied, "They're all right. We've searched everywhere for the enemy. I haven't seen them anywhere!"
"Get away from her!" ordered Cambertin, jumping in between Serenity and Setsuna. Both were very taken aback. They stared at Cambertin in surprise, not understanding her actions.
"Cambertin! Stop being rude!" yelled Ariya. "Can't you see? It's Sailor Pluto!"
"Can't you see?" mocked Cambertin, "She's been infected!"
