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

Yuri shot up in bed, her body covered in sweat and her chest heaving. She brushed her raven hair away from her forehead.

"Holy shit," she murmured.

She glanced at the clock.

"I still have twenty minutes before I have to get up...oh well, I'm awake anyway."

She stood and padded over to the mirror. She looked into the mirror and gasped. Her own reflection was joined by that of an extremely sleepy Usagi.

"What the hell?!" Yuri exclaimed.

Usagi's reflection smiled groggily at her, "Ohayo."

Yuri spun around before turning and staring amazedly into the mirror.

"Where are you?" she demanded.

Usagi laughed, "Don't you remember? I've joined with you," she paused, "You do remember don't you?" she asked, her voice filling with panic.

Yuri nodded that she did, "I thought it was just some wacky dream...oh well, whatever. I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry up."

Usagi giggled, "I'm always late!" she exclaimed cheerily.

A yawn escaped her.

"Are you gonna be late for school?" Usagi questioned.

Yuri shook her head, "We're on break."

Usagi's look of carelessness turned to one of alarm, "That's not possible! What's the date?"

"December twenty-second," Yuri answered, "Why?"

"But I could have sworn that I'd only been gone a day at most..." Usagi whispered, "Yuri, can you please make a quick stop at the Hikawa Shrine? Please?"

Yuri nodded, "Yeah, why not, I should be done at the dojo at about 10:00, is that alright?"

"Hai," Usagi answered before her reflection faded from the glass.

Yuri blinked, then turned and walked to the closet, pulling out a pair of loose red pants and a tight black tank top that showed off her toned stomach nicely. She brushed her hair, pulling into a braid that fell to the bottom of her back. Pausing, she surveyed herself in the mirror. Her hair was pitch black, bangs hung messily into big golden eyes which had, throughout everything, kept their lively spark and lust for life. Her body was tone and tan, her curves, feminine in every way, only added to the mysteriously dangerous look about her. She grinned devilishly at her reflection.

"Ok, now where did I put my jacket?" she mumbled to herself, glancing around the room.

Her eyes came to rest on a black jacket lying on the ground near her closet. She retrieved her jacket, tying it around her waist, grabbing her keys and rushing out the door, locking it behind her. She walked quickly to the stairs, nearly running down them. When she reached the lobby of her apartment building, she turned, heading towards the garage. Lost in her thoughts, Yuri didn't notice the tall ebony haired man striding towards her until it was too late.

"Nani?!" Yuri exclaimed as she fell backwards.

She collided with hard, cold cement.

She groaned before standing and gathering the things scattered around them.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and," she paused, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," the man answered, standing.

'Mamo-chan?' Yuri heard Usagi whisper.

~*~

Mamoru watched in awe as the girl's eyes changed from a deep golden to a sapphire blue.

"Mamo-chan," came a familiar voice.

His eyes widened, "Usako?"

The familiar blue eyes filled with tears as she launched herself into his arms.

"Oh Mamo-chan!" she sobbed, "I'm so sorry I haven't been here. I didn't realize how long...it seemed like only a few hours..."

Her sobs were cut off as Mamoru hugged her gently to him, placing a finger over her lips.

"You're here now, that's all that matters," he whispered.

"It's not that simple, this is a borrowed form," she explained, "I can only do this every so often and it's still Yuri's body."

Mamoru nodded, "I know, but you're alive. You have no idea how much we've missed you."

Usagi tilted her head so that their eyes met, "Mamo-chan, don't tell the others yet, I want to. Please?"

He nodded, "Alright."

She smiled and brushed her lips softly across his before pulling out of his arms and stepping back.

"I love you, Mamo-chan," she murmured.

"I love you, too, Usako," he answered quietly.

The blue faded slowly back to gold as Yuri once again regained control of herself.

"So you must be Usagi's..." she paused, "Boyfriend...lover...what?" Yuri asked, golden eyes studying him intently.

A slight flush graced his cheeks, "Boyfriend," he stated, "Chiba Mamoru. And you are?"

She grinned confidently, "Kazado Yuri. Look, I'd love to stay and talk but I'm already late. Do you live in this building?"

He nodded.

"I'm in apartment 222," she stated, "If you want to talk just stop by later. I'm not guaranteeing I'll be there, but that's where I sleep."

She turned, casting another smile over her shoulder before walking away into the damp darkness of the parking garage.

~*~*~*~

Yuri wiped the sweat from her brow, her breathing ragged as she crouched in a ready position. The man across from her straightened and lowered his sword.

"You are amazing, Yuri," he stated.

Yuri straightened flashing him a cocky grin, "You're just realizing this?"

He laughed, "No, just voicing it for the fifth time this week."

Yuri grinned at him, "You're still better than I am, Sasu-kun."

Sasuke smiled, brushing a stray lock of silver hair from his crimson eyes, "I'm also nineteen, two years older than you. Not to mention that I've been training in swordsmanship for nearly sixteen years, you've only been at it for what, five?"

'Yuri-chan! You promised to take me to the shrine!' a voice whispered in her mind.

Yuri sighed, 'I know, Usagi-chan.'

She walked over to the wall, placing her sword in its sheath and propping it against the wall.

She smiled at Sasuke, "I have to go. I'm supposed to be somewhere soon. I'll see you tomorrow, Sasu-kun."

Sasuke grinned and waved as she turned and rushed down the steps, hopping onto her motorcycle and pulling on the helmet. She turned the keys and opened her mind so that Usagi's thoughts could guide her.

'Turn right here, then left at the next street. It should be on the left.'

Yuri stopped in front of a set of stairs leading up to the shrine. She parked her bike and left her helmet on the seat. Then she turned and walked up the steps. As she neared the top, muffled voices drifted out to her.

"No, Mako-chan...and then you take the three..." the words were lost in the soft breeze.

'Ami-chan,' Usagi's voice whispered in her mind, 'Go into the room and ask them if the senshi meeting has started yet.'

Yuri shrugged as she approached the room. She knocked and, before waiting for an answer, slid the door open and stepped inside.

"I didn't miss the meeting, did I?" Yuri questioned, a smirk spreading on her face, "The senshi meeting that is."

Four pairs of eyes widened at that comment.

"Who are you, and how do you know about...that," the raven haired girl demanded.

'Rei-chan!' Usagi breathed happily.

~*~

"Ohayo, Rei-chan," came a familiar voice.

The priestess watched as golden eyes changed to cerulean blue.

"Still as mean as ever, except now, you can't call me Odango! I'm not wearing them."

"Usagi-chan?" Rei whispered.

A bright smile broke out on the girl's face, "Did 'ya miss me?"
