Hi! I'm sorry that it took so long for me to get this out. I had to study
for exams at school and then my editor went on vacation so I had to leave
this sitting for a while. Then I lost Internet access. However, reviews
are essential if one wishes to continue reading this for I will give up
because I think nobody likes it.
Nemesis's Apartment
"Did you get the job, Shade?" "Yes. Um.Nemesis. Why did you kill your own monster?" "To show myself as a friend so they won't attack me when I go outside transformed." "Why would they do that? You're a Sailor Senshi." "Galaxia used Sailor Senshi as her warriors when she attacked and the Outer Senshi weren't exactly friendly when they showed up either. I believe they actually tried to kill Sailor Saturn and threatened the others." "Whoa." "The Senshi are probably having a meeting to determine whether I'm friend or foe. Why don't you join them and tell me their conclusions." "Yes, Mistress."

"Rei, take it easy on Usagi when she shows up," Makoto pleaded. "Why should I?" Rei asked Makoto while fixing her with a fiery glare. "Mamoru hasn't spoken to her or returned her calls. He isn't even answering the door when she goes to his apartment," Minako responded. "Is your name Makoto?" Rei snapped. In burst a harried Usagi. "I'm sorry I'm late, but I had to see if Mamoru would come with me to the meeting." Usagi sniffed. "He didn't even answer his communicator." Usagi started to wail. "This is getting serious, guys," Ami shouted over Usagi's wailing. "How do we know that we can trust him to help us if he won't even answer his communicator?" "He probably didn't want to talk to the baby over there," stated Rei sharply. "If you'd shut up for a second, I will call him up on the communicator." Everyone waits tensely as Rei hits the earth's symbol on the communicator. "He's not answering. Do you think something's wrong?" Usagi glared at Rei. "Why don't we go to his apartment? Usagi, don't you have a key?" asked Ami. Usagi looked as if she didn't realize she had a key to Mamoru's apartment. "Oh," Usagi mumbled while rubbing the back of her head. Rei rolled her eyes.

Mamoru's Apartment Building
"Um.can you tell us if apartment 3678 is still being rented by a Chiba Mamoru?" Ami inquired of the desk clerk. "Why?" "I'm his girlfriend and I'm worried about him. He hasn't answered my calls. He won't answer the door when I knock," wailed a hysterical Usagi. "Yes, he still rents the room but not for much longer." "Why not?" Usagi demanded franticly. "Because he hasn't paid his rent. Now, unless you have any other problems, I have other work to do." The clerk turned his back on the girls. The girls walk towards the elevator and hit the up button. When the doors open, Nemesis walks out holding a large shopping bag. Nemesis nods in greeting to the girls as she walks by them and out the front door. The girls pile into the elevator and hit the button for floor 6. The doors open and the girls shuffle out, each contemplating what they might find upon arriving in Mamoru's apartment. Usagi first knocks then put a key into the door. She slowly pushes it open.

Usagi came to while sitting in a bed with white sheets. She sat up staring into the eyes of her friends and parents. "What happened sweetie?" Ikuko asked. "I was worried about Mamoru, my boyfriend." "Since when did you have a boyfriend?" roared Kenji. "Shut up, dear," Ikuko stated quietly. "I have a key to his apartment," Usagi continued. "The girls and I decided to go to his apartment together. When I got there, the desk clerk told us that he hadn't paid his rent and that he had some one lined up for his room. I opened the door and I must have past out from the sight of all of the blood." "His apartment looked as if there had been no one living in it for days. Blood was everywhere. It looked as if a battle had taken place in there. There were red and black roses imbedded in the walls; some had bits of cloth and blood pinned with them as well," Ami whispered. Rei continued. "Mamoru's body had several red roses imbedded in it and had been beaten with a stick or cane." At this, Usagi burst into tears. A doctor walked in accompanied by an officer of the law. "Sergeant Baer would like to ask Miss Tsukino a few questions. Privately," he added, when he saw that no one was moving. Every one, including the doctor left Usagi's room. "Miss Tsukino, I'd like to ask you a few questions about a Mr. Chiba Mamoru," the officer began. "Please call me Usagi." "Now Usagi, do you know of any one who would want Mr. Chiba dead?" "No." "Do you know of any one else who had a key to his apartment?" "No." "Did he ever hit you?" "No." "Did he ever cheat on you?" "Never!" "Has he ever done something that has made you uncomfortable?" "NO!" "Miss, did you kill your boyfriend?" "Absolutely not!" Usagi was getting ticked. "Have you lost your key to his apartment?" "No." "I guess that I have run out of questions to ask. If you remember anything suspicious, please let me know, okay?" "Yes sir." With that, Sergeant Baer left the room and Ikuko and Kenji walked in. "Is there anything we can get you?" Ikuko asked. "How long are they going to keep me here?" Usagi questioned. "About a week," Kenji replied. "I'd like Luna for the company," Usagi said sadly. Kenji and Ikuko nodded and left, leaving Usagi alone with her thoughts. 'Who is this new enemy? Why did they kill Mamoru? I hope Luna might have some answers.' I hope that this chapter satisfies you for a while. Meanwhile, PLEASE REVIEW!
