Author's notes: Well, I guess I'm amazed. I didn't think so many people would actually like this so quickly. But I really do like that everyone has enjoyed the first two chapters so far. And I've worked nonstop to bring you chapter 3. I hope everyone continues to enjoy this one. It makes me so very happy. (sniff sniff) There's not much to say about this chapter, besides some action! Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amy had just enough strength to call her friends, as the creatures the woman from the Negaverse had summoned, were slaughtering the people inside the building. Amy pulled out her communicator, pressing one of the buttons. But before Amy could say anything, one of the creatures found her. Whipping out its tongue, the creature cut Amy across the hand. She screamed, dropping her communicator. She felt a paralyzing pain rush through her body, as the large panther like creature sucked up her energy. The last thing she heard, before passing out from the searing pain, was Raye's voice calling her name.

~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~

"Look, that must be the building that Amy's in. Look at how the negative energy is sucking up all the life around it. It's time for action, scouts!" Serena removed the broach from her school uniform and raised it above her head. "Moon Crystal Power!"

"Yeah." The other girls took out strange looking colored sticks, raising them high above their heads. "Mars Star Power!"

"Jupiter Star Power!"

"Venus Star Power!"

Kurama and Hiei watched as the four girls became draped in magical material, colors, and lights. The whole transformation lasted a full minute. Before the two boys stood the four girls, but now they wore white skintight body suits, with short pleated skirts attached on. White gloves adorned their forearms, trimmed with three colored loops. Giant bows with gold metal holding the bows to the outfits accented the front. The back of the skirts also dawned bows, but not quite as large as the ones on the front. They wore neck chokers also. On their foreheads, the girls wore strange tiara like pieces with a colored jewel in each center. Each of the girls wore a variety of shoes, from long boots to high heels.

"So, you fight in that?" Hiei was doubtful that the four could do anything, especially after this show.

"Just wait, and see, Hiei. We won't disappoint you," Raye winked. "We are the sailor scouts. I'm Sailor Mars. Serena's Sailor Moon, Mina's Sailor Venus, Lita's Sailor Jupiter, and Amy's Sailor Mercury. Together, we fight evil as the Sailor Soldiers."

"Now that you're finished, do you think that you will save Amy soon." Another voice joined in the conversation. Everyone looked to see two cats run up. One was black, while the other was white. Both cats had crescent moons on their foreheads.

"Luna, Artemis, where have you guys been? We haven't seen you all day," Serena said.

"Does it matter at the moment! Amy is trapped. . ." Luna stopped once she noticed the two boys staring down at her with curiosity. "Meow. Meeeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwwww!"

"Now, I'm interested." Hiei turned from the cat trying to pretend she didn't know the human language only to have Raye tell her that she wasn't fooling him. "We should get going if we want to save your friend. Her life energy is fading."

"What?!" The girls look at Hiei who was slicing a door in half.

"Hiei's right. We need to hurry before it's too late to save her."

~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~

The woman looked over her handiwork with satisfaction. The sailor scouts would soon be there to save their friend; it would be then that they pay for what they did. She would get revenge on what they had done to Queen Barole and the rest of the Negaverse. Many of the Negaverse had fled when the Moon Princess had defeated Barole. Not many survived on their own, but there were just a few. Her and her brother was in a state of suspended animation, and needed the life force of humans to be revived. Once revived, they would take over the world.

All she, Nagi, had to do was get rid of the sailor scouts. Her Jari would take care of them, without her having to raise a hand. A leer curled Nagi's lips with malice, as she picked up the auras of the other four women. The sailor scouts will be there within only moments.

~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~

"So you come from another dimension that's much like our own. That's fascinating," Luna said. The group walked through the dark building looking to where Kurama and Hiei sensed Amy. "What is it like in your dimension?"

"I don't think now is the time to be asking those questions, Luna. Especially with some evil Negaverse creep lurking around here somewhere," scolded Sailor Moon. "I mean, poor Amy is somewhere in here, by herself and hurt probably. And all you can think about is questioning Kurama about their dimension."

Luna gave Serena an annoyed look. "Like you were in such a hurry to get in here. You should be one to talk Serena. I mean you tell them our secrets, when they could have been from the Negaverse, trying to capture you and the other sailor scouts."

"Hey, don't look at me. Raye was the one who told them about us being sailor scouts. Anyway they would have found out. I mean, we do have to find them a way to get back to their homes. And the sailor scouts are the only ones who are able to do that. So just back off my case. Why don't you get on Raye's case for a change," Sailor Moon said indignantly.

"You might want to stop arguing and prepare yourselves. We have company." Hiei jumped out the way as a muscular figure pounced from the shadows. Kurama was also fast to move as another came out, then five more behind that one. In all, seven stood before them.

"What the hell are they?" The creatures had panther like bodies, with large flat heads. The creatures' front paws carried two long claws. Slanted unfathomable black eyes glowered at them. On their backs, were long trapezoid type scales going down in three rows to a short stubble tail. Over all, the bodies were sleek and very intimidating.

"Don't you like my pets. They are called Jari." A woman appeared before them. She held Amy in one hand by the hair. "I suppose you're looking for her." She tossed Amy to them.

"Who are you?" demanded Sailor Jupiter.

"You can call me Nagi. I am what remains of the survivors of Queen Barole's court. The court that you destroyed. You and your moon princess. I shall avenge my fallen comrades and destroy you." The woman was an ash gray color, wearing a lime green satin halter dress. Her long ink black hair was down to her waist. "I will not allow any of you to leave here alive."

"Are you done talking?" Hiei stepped forward, sword in his hand. "If you are, it's time for you to die."

"You insolent cur. How dare you speak to me like that? Who do you think you are?" Nagi curled her lips back in a sneer.

"I'm your executioner." Hiei jumped into the air, readying his sword. Swinging it, he was shocked to find that the woman had disappeared from out his reach. But Hiei was not one to give up so easily. He attacked her again, this time for real. Everyone, but Kurama was surprised to find that Hiei actually had Nagi on the ropes. She was quick, but Hiei was far quicker. He sliced Nagi in the shoulder with his sword, drawing blood.

"How dare you?" Hiei wasn't expecting to be thrown back, but he was. When he tried to get up, he found himself glued to the ground, a dark beam of energy holding him down. The youkai found a beam of energy pulsing from Nagi's open palm. "You are good, little warrior, but no one will beat the Negaverse so easily." To Hiei's shock, her hair lunged after him, wrapping around his body. "Now I will steal all of your life force. And there's nothing you nor the sailor scouts can do about it!"

"HIEI!" Serena tried to run to him, but a Jari lunged at her. She sidestepped the beast, only to have another one knock her over with its body. Hiei looked as she tried to push the Jari off. What got him was the fact she was worried about him. "Get off of me, you ugly creature. Before the creature could attack, a rose punctured the creature's skin. Sending it reeling back.

"Are you okay, Sailor Moon?" Tuxedo Mask appeared, helping her up.

"Yeah. But what about Hiei? She'll drain all his energy away in a minute if we don't do something to save him," Sailor Moon looked to where Hiei laid, having his energy sucked away. He wasn't affected by it much, he was just mad he had let her get such an advantage over him. If only he could reach his bandana. He was sure that his Jagan would do the trick.

"Don't worry about Hiei, so much. He shall be fine. Do you remember what we told you, Serena? We are not human, remember? It will take a lot to truly drain a strong koorime as Hiei." Kurama glanced to where Serena stood with her boyfriend. (Author's note: I wish everyone were more perceptive in realizing this note.)

"You sure, Kurama?" Serena said.

"I've never been wrong about him before. Now let me take care of these pests. It shouldn't be too hard." Kurama pulled out what appeared to be a rose from somewhere in his hair, and sniffed it.

"Um. . .Kurama. . .now is not the time for that. Aren't you going to help save Hiei?" Mina questioned as she used her love chain to whack a Jari in the head. "Please don't tell us that you're not going to throw it, in hopes that something will happen. We have Tuxedo Mask for that."

"Don't worry, Mina. I plan on fighting. Rose Whip!" Kurama's jade eyes hardened as he snapped the rose. The petals flew off the rose as the whole thing grew. The others saw that it was. . .basically, a rose whip. "This whip of mine will defeat these creatures. It can cut through anything, even solid rock. Now it's time to repay all of your kindness."

Kurama swung the whip, catching one of the Jari in the head. Too the scouts' shock and awe, the Jari's head was lobbed off with one blow. Snapping it back, Kurama managed to catch the one that was attacking Raye. It was split down the middle.

"Sailor Moon, go help Hiei!"

"I'm on it. Darien, get Amy, Luna, and Artemis out of here." Jumping over the Jari's body, Serena went after Nagi. "Hey Negaverse scum, let him go. I am Sailor Moon."

"I'm Sailor Mars." Raye popped up beside her.

"I'm Sailor Venus." Mina stood right beside Raye.

"And I'm Sailor Jupiter." Lita appeared on the other side of Serena.

The girls nodded in unison. "We will right wrongs and triumph over evil. In the name of Mars. . ."

"Venus. . ."

"Jupiter. . ."

"And the moon, we will punish you."

Nagi began to cackle as she stopped blasting Hiei. "Do you really expect me to be intimidated by you children. I will never give up. Take this." Nagi blasted the four with a beam, sending them flying back.

"You won't win. I will punish you in the name of the moon." Serena managed to break free from the blast, pulling out a scepter. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" A bright beam of light and colors exploded from the scepter's tip. Colliding with Nagi's black beam. "I won't let you win this battle. For the future of my world and the future world, you must die!"

"Your dreams will be dashed! Take this!" Nagi increased her power, but Serena held strong. Hiei watched the determination flare in her eyes, as she held the woman at bay, away from her friends who were trying to recover from the first assault.

*This girl is risking her life for her friends. She risked her life for me.* A smirk rose to Hiei's lips. *Guess I can't let her do this alone while Kurama's busy with those creatures.* Hiei stretched his arm up slowly, reaching for his bandana. He managed to pull it off, opening his Jagan. "Hey, Nagi, I have a surprise for you."

"What?!" Looking down the Negaverse warrior was overcome by a strange feeling. Hiei managed to get her to lower her hand. Allowing Sailor Moon's attack to smack her square in the chest. She screamed, releasing her hold on Hiei. Quickly replacing his bandana, Hiei got out the way. Nagi's screams filled the whole building, as she was smacked with a giant heart that crumbled. Once finished, Nagi sank to her knees, hurt but no where from being destroyed. "You-will not-destroy me-that easily."

"Wrong." Hiei was in front of her, before she had a chance to blink. The last thing she saw was Hiei's smirk as he lowered his sword to her shoulder. The rest was a blur to the scouts. When Hiei was done, Nagi broke into many pieces. "Sailor Moon, why don't you and your warriors make sure that she won't ever come back."

"Um-okay. Ready scouts."

"Yeah." Raye's finger trailed with fire, as she created a circle. "Mars Celestial Fire-Surround!" Rings of fire torched the diced pieces of the Negaverse warrior.

"My turn." An antennae rose from Jupiter's headpiece as she channeled lightning into her hand. "Sparkling White Pressure!"

"Now me." Some sort of glowing chain appeared around Mina, as she rose her hand. "Venus-Love Chain-Encircle!"

"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" All the sailors' attacks collided, dusting the woman. The girls cheered, feeling the atmosphere of the building return to normal. "That Nega trash is dusted!"

"You actually did better than I thought you would. I might have to be careful what I say around you. With your combined strength, you might be a match for me." Hiei walked over to where Kurama was. *I gave them a chance, now you don't have to complain. Bothersome, kitsune.*

Kurama smiled, knowing that the fight that had just taken place had impressed Hiei. These female warriors had won Hiei's respect, their leader the most, with her courage, determination, and loyalty to her friends. The scouts were amazed that Hiei had actually given them a genuine comment, saying that they might actually be a match in a battle against him. "You know what, I think Kurama was right about Hiei," Serena said. "I think we have just won his approval."

"Think so?" Mina said.

"Had to have. I never thought anything like that would come out his mouth," Lita grinned. "By the way Hiei, just how many times did you cut her? I lost count after the first ten. You really got some speed on your side, shortie."

Hiei gave them a cool look, then a mischievous smirk. "I'm surprised your human eyes could see that many. It wasn't much, just forty-two."

"No way. I didn't catch any of it. I blinked and it was over," awed Mina.

"Hiei has always been known for his speed and skill with a sword," Kurama explained. "Not many are able to keep up with him. I am one of the few who have ever stood a chance against him. Yusuke has the luck of a fool. The only way he was able to best you, Hiei." Kurama glanced at where Hiei stood. The koorime didn't say a word, but the youko could sense a small agreement with youkai.

"Well, I think we should go. We should check on Amy. Oh, and Hiei. . .thank you for saving us." Hiei stared at the girl with pigtails as she smiled down at him. There was something about her. . .Hiei nodded, then turned away.

Unknowing to the brave fighters of this victory, the battle had only begun. What they didn't know was that before Nagi died, she transferred the remaining of her energy on to her brother, Kyukura. It was only a matter of time before he would awake to take his revenge out on Sailor Moon and the scouts.

Also unknown to the group, Kyukura was ten times stronger than his sister was. Queen Barole had to put him into suspended animation because he had been far too powerful to control at the moment. Queen Barole was about to use him to destroy the world before the Princess Serenity defeated her. And now that the power Nagi gathered from the many humans she had killed in that building was flowing through him, the scouts would have to fight a battle they may not win. Will Kurama and Hiei make a difference in the upcoming battle? Will they ever get home? And what of Yusuke and the others, and Majira?

Nakoruru: Yeah. Here's the next chapter for Devils Little Doll, Kayla, S.M, and Firenze. Hope you all liked it. I worked hard once I got the reviews. And to think, it only took (counting) oh, five hours with interruptions! Yeah!

Blazer (drinking tea): Are you going to tell everyone what happened to the people that were killed and why you didn't stress that issue.

Nakoruru (jumping): Blaze! You startled me.

Blazer: Well?

Nakoruru (sighs): My muse wants me to explain the deal with the dead people. Okay, for starters, they were homeless. Two, it was an old building. Three, Amy was walking by and overheard the commotion and went to help. The reason they aren't really mentioned so much was that their bodies were absorbed into Kyukura along with their energy. Kind of like Maujin Buu did with all those people.

Blazer: So that's how it is?

Nakoruru: Hey, what's that suppose to mean?

Blazer (smirking): Nothing. Nothing at all.

Nakoruru: Hey!
