Behind The Armor
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors do not belong to me. I am just going to barrow them to make this fanfic.
Last Chapter: The Ronin Warriors explain to the scout why they are in Tokyo and why their dead queen, Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdome sent them to help the girls. They go eat the Crown Arcade while talk about what Queen Serenity said. But get a big surprise when they receive the bill. With Usagi's and Kento's appetite, the bill reached $175.00. The gang then had to stay and wash, dry the dishes and clean up the arcade.

Chapter 4: Dates and Demons
The school bell rang as class was over.
"Alright!! School's out" Kento said contentedly as he boosted his books on his shoulders and walked out of the classroom with Usagi close behind.
Makoto and Ami were almost at the door too as Minako was getting her books ready.
"Yo, I'll catch up with you guys later. I'm going to go check on that other girl" Ryo said as he walked up to Minako and Rowen's desk.
"Alright bud, just remember to keep your cool with her ok" Rowen reminded.
Ryo sighed as he let out "I'll try."
"Well, see you later. Bye Minako."
Ryo soon left the classroom as Minako and Rowen got their books packed and walked out.
"So what're you planning to do today?" Rowen asked the blond beside him.
"I'm not really sure. I'm kinda tuckered out since last night we were at the arcade really late." Minako answered as she went to her locker.
Rowen leaned on the other lockers as he watched her get her school bag and talk to her at the same time. Minako quickly noticed how sexy he looked at his position.
He held his books near his side as the other hand was in his uniform pocket. His royal blue bandanna was on his forehead as his hair held its messy look. Although this made him look even sexier.
"Oh, ok. So you're planning to go to bed?"
Minako quickly snapped out of her trance as she tried to answer him correctly.
"Don't know. I might. Why?" Minako asked as she was finished getting her books packed in her bag.
They headed to the school exit when she closed her locker door.
"Well I was hopping maybe we could do something" Rowen said kinda shyly.
He wasn't really into asking the girls out since the girls would usually come to him. He had been waiting for Minako to ask him out but for some reason she hadn't yet.
Secretly she was planning to ask today but she fell asleep in class so she forgot all about it. So this question really made her day.
"Really? You want to spend time with me today?" she asked as her eyes sparkled.
"Sure, although I don't really know were to go since I'm new here and everything" Rowen answered.
"I know just the thing. Let's go get ice cream at the parlor and then go for a boat ride at the lake" Minako suggested as she took Rowen's hand and dashed to the direction of the ice cream parlor.

Ryo sat on the school wall outside as he waited for the fiery scout. Raye's school ended fifteen minutes later then his high school so he was able to reach it before she came out.
After the bell rang a few minutes ago he saw a raven haired girl walk out of the school building with some school friends.
As Raye walked out she quickly spotted Ryo on the wall as he waited. Her two friends also noticed him too as they giggled and talked about him.
"Hey, what a hank" one of Raye's friends said to the small group.
"I know he's totally hot" the other giggled as Raye rolled her eyes.
"Get a lift you two. That boy there is a bastard and he'll always be one so don't waste your time on him" she said in an annoyed tone.
"Oh Raye, you should get a life. How would you know anyway?" the girl who first talked asked.
"Cause he's here for me now got to go. Bye" she said fumingly as she walked over to the Ronin Warrior.
When Raye reached Ryo he greeted her as he forced a smile.
"Hey" he politely said to the red scout.
"Humph" she said as she just walked away arrogantly.
'Bitch' he thought as he jumped down the wall and fallowed her to wherever she was heading.
'Something tells me this is going to be a long day' he thought irately as he watched the back of girl's head.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"A chocolate fudge ice cream sundae and a caramel ice cream sundae please" Minako ordered as the waitress wrote the menu down and then went to fetch it.
"Yum, a chocolate fudge ice cream sundae is my kinda thing" Rowen said blissfully as he rolled up his school uniform sleeves and got ready for the treat. He licked his lips in the process.
Minako giggled at his actions.
"I see I made a good choice in coming here" she said.
"Yup and then we're going to go for a ride around the lake right?"
"You got it" Minako said giving him a smile as the waitress soon came back with their sundaes.
Rowen quickly finished up his ice cream as Minako was still on hers. He was tempted to take her treat and shove it in his mouth but felt guilty if he did. Besides, this was a date.
Minako slowly ate her ice cream as she stared at Rowen. She could see the glimmer in his eyes for the craving of her food.
She chuckled inside as she started to play with him. Minako slowly put another spoonful of ice cream as she let out an 'hmmm'.
"This is really good Rowen. The best I ever tasted. Yum." she said teasingly as she saw Rowen squirm in his seat.
"You're so cruel Minako" he said giving her daggered eyes.
"I know I am" she answered as she hovered her spoonful of ice cream in the air.
"You'll pay for this" he breathed as his hand turned into a fist.
He tried his best to control himself from grabbing the spoon and her bowl of ice cream sundae.
"Oh? How?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"Not sure yet but I will think of something" Rowen said.
Minako giggled lightly as she popped the spoon in her mouth.
"I just love torturing boys. But since you're cute I'll let you have some of mine" she said gleefully as Rowen blushed.
She took Rowen's spoon from his bowl and dug it in her sundae.
"Dig in big boy" she said, laughing hysterically at the blue haired boy, who had instantly divided at the ice cream.
Once they were finished, Rowen paid and they headed to the park.
"I'm guessing I'm rowing huh?" he asked as Minako took the passenger seat on the boat.
"Of course. You don't expect a vulnerable girl like myself could row this thing did you?"
Rowen chuckled as he got into the boat.
"The way I saw you fight that guy last night sure doesn't look like vulnerable to me" he said as he took hold of the pedals.
"Well that goes to show what happens when guys mess with Aino Minako" she said blissfully.
"I see, so I guess I don't need to bodyguard you after all" Rowen answered as he smiled at her.

The video game had a "Game Over" blinking on the screen as Usagi whined.
"NOOO, and I was so close" she complained
"Ha, ha. My turn" Kento said going in front of the Sailor V video game machine.
Kento, Makoto, Usagi and Sage were at the Crown Arcade again. They stopped by after school to get a small snake to eat. After using all of Makoto's savings on the food, Kento and Usagi dashed off to play the Sailor V game.
"How can two people use $50.00 on food?" Makoto asked as she looked in her empty wallet.
"Sorry about my fat friend" Sage said as he felt guilty for his friend's actions.
"I'll pay you back when I find a job though" he added.
"Na, it's ok. I got a job at this bakery a week ago. The manager loved my cooking and gave me a raise." Makoto said as a smile beamed on her face.
Sage smiled back. "That's good. But still, I do want to pay you back."
They were interrupted by Usagi's and Kento's screaming. They turned their heads to see Usagi on Kento's back, as if he was giving her a piggyback ride, and Kento trying to keep the blond away from the controllers as he battled the enemy in the game.
"Usagi! Can't you see I'm playing here?!!" Kento shrieked as he was shot.
"That's not fair! You lost!! It's my turn now!!" The pigtailed girls screeched as she tried to grab Kento's hand away from the controllers.
"AH!!!" Kento let out as the word "Game Over" lit on the screen"
"Look what you made me do!" he said looking up at the girl on his back.
"It's not my fault that you're lousy at the game" she taunted.
"Oh yeah? Look who's talking. You didn't even make it through the first round. And I got to the sixth!" he blabbered.
"Don't rub it in" Usagi said as she smacked him on the head.
"Hey! That hurt!" he whined.
A sweat drop fell from Makoto's and Sag's forehead as they watched the two beings brawl on the floor.
"Usagi" Makoto breathed with mortification as she hung her head down.
"Kento! Will you ever grow up?!!" Sage asked smacking the boy on the head, right on the same spot Usagi thumped.
"Hey! That hurt!" the purpled haired boy cried as he then tackled the other blond.
Makoto watched as Usagi, Kanto and Sage were quarreling on the floor. Andrew came out of the bathroom as he saw Makoto. He could have sworn he heard Usagi screaming and two other boys yelling.
"Hey Makoto" he greeted the brunet as he then stopped dead when he saw the tree soldiers on the ground.
It was a good thing the four where the only customers Andrew had that day or he would have had to kick them out.
"What's going on here?" he asked softly to Makoto.
"Well, Usagi and Kento first fought over the Sailor V game but Sage smacked Kento and got into the fight as well" she said as she turned to the blond worker.
"Oh" he let out as he shrugged and walked away to pick up the phone in the other room. He could barely hear it with all the racket going on in the arcade.
"Ok guys, that's enough" Makoto said as she took hold of Sage's arm and lifted him off the floor.
Kento and Sage instantly stopped as they were dumbfounded. They were not use to having girls lifting them up off the ground as if they were light as a feather.
"Ho.how did you?" Sage began but Makoto finished and answered for him.
"Pick you up? Easy; I'm the strongest out of the scouts and I had training" she said giving him an innocent smile.
She placed him down on his own two feet as she helped her two other friends off the floor. Kento and Sage were still dumfounded as Usagi laughed at their faces.
Makoto giggled too but then her face went serious as she felt a dark force near by.
"What's the matter Makoto?" Kanto asked when he noticed her expression.
"He's close by" she whispered as she looked out the Crown Arcade entrance.
"What?" Sage whispered but he soon felt it too, along with Kento.
Usagi was too scared to fell anything.
Sage and Kento quickly went to their job and went in front of their scouts.
"Be prepared Usagi" Makoto said as she took out her henshin pen.
"Right" Usagi meekly said as she held her brooch.
"CRACK!!"
"SMASH!"
The arcade windows broke into pieces as Sage and Kento blocked the small portions from hitting the two girls.
"NOW USAGI!" Makoto cried as she lifted her henshin pen.
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Moon Eternal Make-UP!"
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Moon soon stood in the arcade as the two boys beside them were already in their Ronin Warrior armors.
"Wow, that was quick" Sailor Moon commented on the two boys as Jupiter turned to face the shock Andrew, who had just burst into the room.
"AH! What's going on in here?" he asked when he saw the windows shattered.
He then noticed the four warriors.
"Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter" he breathed.
"Yup, that'd be us" Sailor Moon said as she introduced her self.
"I'm Sailor Moon, champion of justice and on the behalf of the moon, I'll protect you and your arcade" she said as the moon background appeared behind her.
"Besides, I simply adore your Sailor V game" she quickly added childishly as her fellow friends sweat dropped.
Soon the room darkened as the two scouts and warriors looked around for the source.
A shadow then jumped inside the shop as it formed into one of the beast dogs they fought last night.
"AAHH!!!!!" Sailor Moon screamed as Sailor Jupiter grabbed Andrew out of the way from the creature.
"Quick, get that thing out of here!" she told the others as she jumped out of the way from the beast's blow.
"Thunderbolt Cut!"
The attack hit the beast in the back as it growled in pain. It shot its red eyes at the green warrior.
"Hey ugly over here!" Kento called as he and Sailor Moon stood near the exit.
The shadow faced the two when he heard the orange warrior's remark.
"Yeah ugly, I'm talking to you." Kento said again as the beast growled and lunged at them.
Sailor Moon and Kento dashed out of the broken window and into the street as the beast ran after them.
"Why the hell are you having that thing chase us?!!!!" Sailor Moon screeched as she ran as fast as she could.
"Cause we had to get that thing away from the arcade. Besides, you don't want him ruining the Sailor V game do you?"
Sailor Moon understood as she looked behind them. She let out an annoying scream as she saw the beast catching up to them.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Jupiter quickly placed Andrew down as Sage ran out of the arcade.
"I'm terribly sorry about your place." She said as she soon dashed off, leaving the shocked blond.
"Jupiter, call the others. I'll go help Kento and Sailor Moon" Sage said as he leaped on top of a roof and leaped after his friends.
Jupiter took out her watch communicator as she ran after the green warrior.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Will you bug off?!!! You're fuck'n annoying!!!!" Raye screamed at Ryo as she spun round to face him.
"Now, now. No need to curse" he mocked as he gave her a heated expression.
"Being around you always wants to make me to curse you--"
She was cut short when they both heard screams. Both red warriors jot their eyes up at a tall building roof as they saw Kento and Sailor Moon, who was making the terrible scream, running away from a shadow creature. Sage was not far behind as Jupiter tried to catch up.
"Sailor Moon, Jupiter" Raye gasped as she got Jupiter's attention.
"Huh, Raye, quick. We need your help" the thunder scout called as she ran passed them.
Ryo placed his eyes on the raven haired girl.
"Let's go" he said as he ran into a store.
Raye raised an eyebrow as she rushed after him. To her surprise he ran out the backdoor of the store, leading to an ally. But when she was able to catch up he quickly transformed into his red armor as he jumped into the air, landing on the same roof their friends were just on.
"Hurry up. Don't tell me I'll have to carry you" he said impatiently when he saw her watching in amazement.
Her expression changed into an annoyance when as she gave him a fuming appearance.
She arrogantly raised her henshin pen as she called out "Mars Crystal Power!"
As Sailor Mars, she leaped into the air landing on the roof with Ryo.
"Humph" she mumbled as she passed him, running after her friends.
Rolling his eyes, Ryo fallowed suit.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Ami looked around the shelf to find a good book. But for some reason her eyes would dart to the dashingly handsome boy next to her.
Since Makoto and Usagi went to the arcade with Sage and Kento, she decided to go to the library. Sai, the dashingly handsome boy, went with her since he was her bodyguard.
"Did you pick out a book yet?" Sai asked smilingly when he caught her staring.
"Oh, no. Not yet" she blushed.
Sai laughed slightly at her behavior but was cut off when they heard a blinking noise.
"What's that?" he asked looking around.
Ami knew exactly what it was and took out her watch communicator out of her school bag.
The librarian also heard it as she went up to the two.
"Excuse me young miss but do you mind turning that off. This is a library not a playground" she said to the blue haired girl.
"Oh, I'm really sorry" Ami stammer as she ran out of the section with Sai.
"And no running" the lady called after them.
When Ami and Sai where able to find an empty aisle the blue scout turned on her communicator.
"Makoto? What's the matter?" Ami asked as Sai leaned over to look.
"Ami, there was an attack from one of Malice's creatures in the arcade. We're fallowing it to the park right now. You got to come quick" Jupiter said throw the screen.
"Ok, we're on our way" Sai answered quickly.
Jupiter left the screen as Ami and Sai ran out of the library.
"Mercury Crystal Power!" Ami cried as she transformed into Sailor Mercury.
When she was done, Sai was in his armor already.
"Let's go" she said as she and her bodyguard raced to the park.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The warm breeze blew by the couple as they stayed on the boat. Rowen was able to find a comfortable spot in the middle of the lake as they sat and talked about stuff. After using all the topics for a conversation silence took its place
Minako admired the beautiful environment around her as Rowen admired the beautiful goddess setting across from him. He was the first to break the silence.
"Hey Minako?" he asked, calling the girl's attention.
"Yeah?" she asked giving him her sweet smile.
"Remember earlier we had that talk about you being vulnerable and when you beat Malice. And that you said that it goes to show what happens if boys mess with you?"
Minako nodded as she recalled the conversation.
"Well, if I did anything would you turn into Sailor Venus and kick my ass?" he asked.
Minako thought for a moment.
"Well what where you planning to do?" she asked curiously.
"A kiss" he swiftly answered.
Minako blushed as she thought of it some more.
"Well, would you?" Rowen asked again.
"Mainly yeah. But since you're a cutie, I'll let you live" she said smiling again.
Rowen blushed at her statement.
"So if I was to move up to you and kiss you, you wouldn't bitch slap me?" he asked, hope danced in his eyes.
Minako giggled as she shook her head.
"Nope. I won't slap you." she said firmly.
Rowen smiled as he moved closer to her. Minako stiffened when she saw him about five inches away from her. When he came closer she closed her eyes ready for the kiss.
With both of the warrior's eyes closed, they did not notice a dark figure in the water, heading towards the boat. Just when they were just centimeters away the shadow rampaged into the side of the boat as it shook.
"AH!" Rowen and Minako cried when they both fell in the lake.
"Minako, are you alright" Rowen hurriedly asked as they both were treaded water.
"cough, cough Yeah cough, cough I'm ok" Minako managed to say after swallowing a gulp full of the disgusting water.
"What was that?" Rowen asked when he felt something brush through his leg.
Minako flinched when she felt it pass by her bare legs.
'OMG, the lake is hunted' rang in her mind as she all of a sudden screamed.
The shadow soon jumped out of the water as it transformed into a sea dragon. Minako and Rowen's eyes went wide with fright as both soon screamed again as they quickly turned into chibi forms and jumped out of the water.
Both rapidly swam towards shore as the dragon swam after them. As their foot was on soil Minako raised her hands holding the henshin pen.
"Venus Crystal Power!"
Yellow and light orange colors surrounded the blond goddess's bare body as she transformed into Sailor Venus.
Rowen turned into his Ronin Warrior form as they both faced the shadow dragon.
'He's going to pay for braking my happy moment. Shit, he ruined my kiss with Ronin' Minako gave the dragon flaming eyes as her mind spoke.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~
"Mercury" Sailor Moon called the blue scout and warrior as they reached the group.
Sai looked around the park for the shadow creature.
"Where's the demon?" he asked his fellow friends as they shrugged.
"We lost it when it dashed into the park" Jupiter explained.
"Mercury, scan the place for the thing" Mars told the water girl as she nodded in agreement.
"On it" she said as she turned on her visor and mini computer.
She scanned her surroundings as she soon picked up energy coming near the lake not far away.
"Near the lake guys" she shot as her friends darted off to the direction.
When they reached the spot they saw Venus and Rowen fight a shadow sea dragon.
"Fuck, what it that?!!" Kento cried as Mercury scanned it.
"It's the same creature you guys were chasing but it just deformed into something else" she answered the muscular warrior.
"What ever it is, we got to help Venus and Rowen" Sage said as he, Ryo and Sai dashed off to aid their friends.
Sailor Moon, Mercury, Kento, Jupiter and Mars went after the three boys.
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Thunderbolt Cut!"
Both of Sai's and Sage's attacks combined as it hit the demon. It howled in pain as Venus and Rowen turned to face their friends.
"Am I glade to see you" Rowen said to them with an appreciative smile.
"Jupiter and Sage's attack should work on this creature since his element it water" Mercury told the others as she scanned the weak spot of the dragon.
"Right" Jupiter said as she got ready to use her attack.
"And I got just the thing" the thunder goddess smirked as she cried "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
Her energy took a form of an electronic dragon as it tackled the shadow dragon.
"Thunderbolt Cut!" Sage cried as his attack hit the lake.
The shadow dragon was soon covered with lightning as it screeched from the stinging pain. But it wasn't over yet. The Dragon turned into a different form as it transformed to its oldest form. The red eyed, razor teeth, black shadow dog. It growled at the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors.
"I'll take care of this" Mars told the others as she leaped at the beast.
"Evil Sprits Be Gone!" Mars cried as she placed her ancient scroll on the beast's forehead as the beast froze from his possession.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Arrow Shockwave!"
"Iron Rock Crasher!"
"Flare Up Now!"
All four attacks from Sailor Venus, Rowen, Kento and Ryo, aimed at the shadow dog as it bawled in pain.
"Finish it off Sailor Moon" Mercury ordered Sailor Moon as she nodded and raised her wand.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
The blow hit home base as the shadow soon turned into ashes.
"Wow, that must have been the toughest out of the rest" Venus commented as Sailor Moon plopped on the ground with exhaustion.
"Not quite Princesses Venus" an evil voice spoke as they all shot their heads up to see Malice floating in the air.
His hands were crossed in front of his chest as his eyes were pure black with hatred. Malice held an evil grin on his pale face.
Venus's hands turned into a fist as she glared at him with disgust.
'How dare this guy ruin my date and get away with it' she thought as furry flamed inside her.

Aw, poor Minako. She was so close in having a kiss with Rowen. Oh well, there's always next time. I think the next chapter will be the last.

The school bell rang as class was over.
"Alright!! School's out" Kento said contentedly as he boosted his books on his shoulders and walked out of the classroom with Usagi close behind.

"Don't rub it in" Usagi said as she smacked him on the head.
"Hey! That hurt!" he whined.
A sweat drop fell from Makoto's and Sag's forehead as they watched the two beings brawl on the floor.
"Usagi" Makoto breathed with mortification as she hung her head down.
"Kento! Will you ever grow up?!!" Sage asked smacking the boy on the head, right on the same spot Usagi thumped.
"Hey! That hurt!" the purpled haired boy cried as he then tackled the other blond.
Makoto watched as Usagi, Kanto and Sage were quarreling on the floor. Andrew came out of the bathroom as he saw Makoto. He could have sworn he heard Usagi screaming and two other boys yelling.
"Hey Makoto" he greeted the brunet as he then stopped dead when he saw the tree soldiers on the ground.
It was a good thing the four where the only customers Andrew had that day or he would have had to kick them out.
"What's going on here?" he asked softly to Makoto.
"Well, Usagi and Kento first fought over the Sailor V game but Sage smacked Kento and got into the fight as well" she said as she turned to the blond worker.
"Oh" he let out as he shrugged and walked away to pick up the phone in the other room. He could barely hear it with all the racket going on in the arcade.
"Ok guys, that's enough" Makoto said as she took hold of Sage's arm and lifted him off the floor.
Kento and Sage instantly stopped as they were dumbfounded. They were not use to having girls lifting them up off the ground as if they were light as a feather.
"Ho.how did you?" Sage began but Makoto finished and answered for him.
"Pick you up? Easy; I'm the strongest out of the scouts and I had training" she said giving him an innocent smile.
She placed him down on his own two feet as she helped her two other friends off the floor. Kento and Sage were still dumfounded as Usagi laughed at their faces.
Makoto giggled too but then her face went serious as she felt a dark force near by.
"What's the matter Makoto?" Kanto asked when he noticed her expression.
"He's close by" she whispered as she looked out the Crown Arcade entrance.
"What?" Sage whispered but he soon felt it too, along with Kento.
Usagi was too scared to fell anything.
Sage and Kento quickly went to their job and went in front of their scouts.
"Be prepared Usagi" Makoto said as she took out her henshin pen.
"Right" Usagi meekly said as she held her brooch.
"CRACK!!"
"SMASH!"
The arcade windows broke into pieces as Sage and Kento blocked the small portions from hitting the two girls.
"NOW USAGI!" Makoto cried as she lifted her henshin pen.
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Moon Eternal Make-UP!"
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Moon soon stood in the arcade as the two boys beside them were already in their Ronin Warrior armors.
"Wow, that was quick" Sailor Moon commented on the two boys as Jupiter turned to face the shock Andrew, who had just burst into the room.
"AH! What's going on in here?" he asked when he saw the windows shattered.
He then noticed the four warriors.
"Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter" he breathed.
"Yup, that'd be us" Sailor Moon said as she introduced her self.
"I'm Sailor Moon, champion of justice and on the behalf of the moon, I'll protect you and your arcade" she said as the moon background appeared behind her.
"Besides, I simply adore your Sailor V game" she quickly added childishly as her fellow friends sweat dropped.
Soon the room darkened as the two scouts and warriors looked around for the source.
A shadow then jumped inside the shop as it formed into one of the beast dogs they fought last night.
"AAHH!!!!!" Sailor Moon screamed as Sailor Jupiter grabbed Andrew out of the way from the creature.
"Quick, get that thing out of here!" she told the others as she jumped out of the way from the beast's blow.
"Thunderbolt Cut!"
The attack hit the beast in the back as it growled in pain. It shot its red eyes at the green warrior.
"Hey ugly over here!" Kento called as he and Sailor Moon stood near the exit.
The shadow faced the two when he heard the orange warrior's remark.
"Yeah ugly, I'm talking to you." Kento said again as the beast growled and lunged at them.
Sailor Moon and Kento dashed out of the broken window and into the street as the beast ran after them.
"Why the hell are you having that thing chase us?!!!!" Sailor Moon screeched as she ran as fast as she could.
"Cause we had to get that thing away from the arcade. Besides, you don't want him ruining the Sailor V game do you?"
Sailor Moon understood as she looked behind them. She let out an annoying scream as she saw the beast catching up to them.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Jupiter quickly placed Andrew down as Sage ran out of the arcade.
"I'm terribly sorry about your place." She said as she soon dashed off, leaving the shocked blond.
"Jupiter, call the others. I'll go help Kento and Sailor Moon" Sage said as he leaped on top of a roof and leaped after his friends.
Jupiter took out her watch communicator as she ran after the green warrior.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
"Will you bug off?!!! You're fuck'n annoying!!!!" Raye screamed at Ryo as she spun round to face him.
"Now, now. No need to curse" he mocked as he gave her a heated expression.
"Being around you always wants to make me to curse you--"
She was cut short when they both heard screams. Both red warriors jot their eyes up at a tall building roof as they saw Kento and Sailor Moon, who was making the terrible scream, running away from a shadow creature. Sage was not far behind as Jupiter tried to catch up.
"Sailor Moon, Jupiter" Raye gasped as she got Jupiter's attention.
"Huh, Raye, quick. We need your help" the thunder scout called as she ran passed them.
Ryo placed his eyes on the raven haired girl.
"Let's go" he said as he ran into a store.
Raye raised an eyebrow as she rushed after him. To her surprise he ran out the backdoor of the store, leading to an ally. But when she was able to catch up he quickly transformed into his red armor as he jumped into the air, landing on the same roof their friends were just on.
"Hurry up. Don't tell me I'll have to carry you" he said impatiently when he saw her watching in amazement.
Her expression changed into an annoyance when as she gave him a fuming appearance.
She arrogantly raised her henshin pen as she called out "Mars Crystal Power!"
As Sailor Mars, she leaped into the air landing on the roof with Ryo.
"Humph" she mumbled as she passed him, running after her friends.
Rolling his eyes, Ryo fallowed suit.

Ami looked around the shelf to find a good book. But for some reason her eyes would dart to the dashingly handsome boy next to her.
Since Makoto and Usagi went to the arcade with Sage and Kento, she decided to go to the library. Sai, the dashingly handsome boy, went with her since he was her bodyguard.
"Did you pick out a book yet?" Sai asked smilingly when he caught her staring.
"Oh, no. Not yet" she blushed.
Sai laughed slightly at her behavior but was cut off when they heard a blinking noise.
"What's that?" he asked looking around.
Ami knew exactly what it was and took out her watch communicator out of her school bag.
The librarian also heard it as she went up to the two.
"Excuse me young miss but do you mind turning that off. This is a library not a playground" she said to the blue haired girl.
"Oh, I'm really sorry" Ami stammer as she ran out of the section with Sai.
"And no running" the lady called after them.
When Ami and Sai where able to find an empty aisle the blue scout turned on her communicator.
"Makoto? What's the matter?" Ami asked as Sai leaned over to look.
"Ami, there was an attack from one of Malice's creatures in the arcade. We're fallowing it to the park right now. You got to come quick" Jupiter said throw the screen.
"Ok, we're on our way" Sai answered quickly.
Jupiter left the screen as Ami and Sai ran out of the library.
"Mercury Crystal Power!" Ami cried as she transformed into Sailor Mercury.
When she was done, Sai was in his armor already.
"Let's go" she said as she and her bodyguard raced to the park.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
The warm breeze blew by the couple as they stayed on the boat. Rowen was able to find a comfortable spot in the middle of the lake as they sat and talked about stuff. After using all the topics for a conversation silence took its place
Minako admired the beautiful environment around her as Rowen admired the beautiful goddess setting across from him. He was the first to break the silence.
"Hey Minako?" he asked, calling the girl's attention.
"Yeah?" she asked giving him her sweet smile.
"Remember earlier we had that talk about you being vulnerable and when you beat Malice. And that you said that it goes to show what happens if boys mess with you?"
Minako nodded as she recalled the conversation.
"Well, if I did anything would you turn into Sailor Venus and kick my ass?" he asked.
Minako thought for a moment.
"Well what where you planning to do?" she asked curiously.
"A kiss" he swiftly answered.
Minako blushed as she thought of it some more.
"Well, would you?" Rowen asked again.
"Mainly yeah. But since you're a cutie, I'll let you live" she said smiling again.
Rowen blushed at her statement.
"So if I was to move up to you and kiss you, you wouldn't bitch slap me?" he asked, hope danced in his eyes.
Minako giggled as she shook her head.
"Nope. I won't slap you." she said firmly.
Rowen smiled as he moved closer to her. Minako stiffened when she saw him about five inches away from her. When he came closer she closed her eyes ready for the kiss.
With both of the warrior's eyes closed, they did not notice a dark figure in the water, heading towards the boat. Just when they were just centimeters away the shadow rampaged into the side of the boat as it shook.
"AH!" Rowen and Minako cried when they both fell in the lake.
"Minako, are you alright" Rowen hurriedly asked as they both were treaded water.
"cough, cough Yeah cough, cough I'm ok" Minako managed to say after swallowing a gulp full of the disgusting water.
"What was that?" Rowen asked when he felt something brush through his leg.
Minako flinched when she felt it pass by her bare legs.
'OMG, the lake is hunted' rang in her mind as she all of a sudden screamed.
The shadow soon jumped out of the water as it transformed into a sea dragon. Minako and Rowen's eyes went wide with fright as both soon screamed again as they quickly turned into chibi forms and jumped out of the water.
Both rapidly swam towards shore as the dragon swam after them. As their foot was on soil Minako raised her hands holding the henshin pen.
"Venus Crystal Power!"
Yellow and light orange colors surrounded the blond goddess's bare body as she transformed into Sailor Venus.
Rowen turned into his Ronin Warrior form as they both faced the shadow dragon.
'He's going to pay for braking my happy moment. Shit, he ruined my kiss with Ronin' Minako gave the dragon flaming eyes as her mind spoke.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~
"Mercury" Sailor Moon called the blue scout and warrior as they reached the group.
Sai looked around the park for the shadow creature.
"Where's the demon?" he asked his fellow friends as they shrugged.
"We lost it when it dashed into the park" Jupiter explained.
"Mercury, scan the place for the thing" Mars told the water girl as she nodded in agreement.
"On it" she said as she turned on her visor and mini computer.
She scanned her surroundings as she soon picked up energy coming near the lake not far away.
"Near the lake guys" she shot as her friends darted off to the direction.
When they reached the spot they saw Venus and Rowen fight a shadow sea dragon.
"Fuck, what it that?!!" Kento cried as Mercury scanned it.
"It's the same creature you guys were chasing but it just deformed into something else" she answered the muscular warrior.
"What ever it is, we got to help Venus and Rowen" Sage said as he, Ryo and Sai dashed off to aid their friends.
Sailor Moon, Mercury, Kento, Jupiter and Mars went after the three boys.
"Super Wave Smasher!"
"Thunderbolt Cut!"
Both of Sai's and Sage's attacks combined as it hit the demon. It howled in pain as Venus and Rowen turned to face their friends.
"Am I glade to see you" Rowen said to them with an appreciative smile.
"Jupiter and Sage's attack should work on this creature since his element it water" Mercury told the others as she scanned the weak spot of the dragon.
"Right" Jupiter said as she got ready to use her attack.
"And I got just the thing" the thunder goddess smirked as she cried "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
Her energy took a form of an electronic dragon as it tackled the shadow dragon.
"Thunderbolt Cut!" Sage cried as his attack hit the lake.
The shadow dragon was soon covered with lightning as it screeched from the stinging pain. But it wasn't over yet. The Dragon turned into a different form as it transformed to its oldest form. The red eyed, razor teeth, black shadow dog. It growled at the Sailor Scouts and the Ronin Warriors.
"I'll take care of this" Mars told the others as she leaped at the beast.
"Evil Sprits Be Gone!" Mars cried as she placed her ancient scroll on the beast's forehead as the beast froze from his possession.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
"Arrow Shockwave!"
"Iron Rock Crasher!"
"Flare Up Now!"
All four attacks from Sailor Venus, Rowen, Kento and Ryo, aimed at the shadow dog as it bawled in pain.
"Finish it off Sailor Moon" Mercury ordered Sailor Moon as she nodded and raised her wand.
"Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
The blow hit home base as the shadow soon turned into ashes.
"Wow, that must have been the toughest out of the rest" Venus commented as Sailor Moon plopped on the ground with exhaustion.
"Not quite Princesses Venus" an evil voice spoke as they all shot their heads up to see Malice floating in the air.
His hands were crossed in front of his chest as his eyes were pure black with hatred. Malice held an evil grin on his pale face.
Venus's hands turned into a fist as she glared at him with disgust.
'How dare this guy ruin my date and get away with it' she thought as furry flamed inside her.
~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~
Aw, poor Minako. She was so close in having a kiss with Rowen. Oh well, there's always next time. I think the next chapter will be the last.
