Chapter 24
"Can we stop now?" Chibiusa whines, " I'm tried!"
The group had been walking for almost the entire day since they had left the Moon Kingdom.
Renity had found some clothes for them to wear on the travels. The last time they had eaten had been early the morning.
They each wore something similar, if not exactly, what Renity had been wearing. A light colored shirt with a tunic and a pair of comfortably loose pants and some leather shoes. Renity had equipped them with weapons that they knew how to use.
Rei had gotten the bow and quiver full of arrows since she was good at it. Ami had gotten a spear. Chibiusa had small daggers, Serenity and Setsuna had staffs, and Onyx and Endymion had chosen swords.
"Yes," Ami agrees, "we've been traveling for a while and haven't ate anything in a while."
Renity, who assumed the leading role stops and looks at her group. She could tell that they were in need of rest and food. They had very little to work with when they left, some water and a pouch or two of mead, but that was it.
"Ok," She said, finally reluctant, " But only for a while, we have to cover as much ground as we can before...." She trailed off as her sensitive ears picked up something.
She looks over at Onyx, seeing if he notices the sound as well. He nods slightly as she moves to get her dagger from her boot.
"Hey, what's goin-?" Serenity began, but Endymion silenced her, covering her lips with one finger.
"Shhh.... something's there." He whispers to her as he and the others drew their weapons.
Onyx and Renity got closer to the bushes, when Renity abruptly stood and let her weapon hang limply in her hand.
Then suddenly, a pheasant like bird came out, ignoring them.
It's feathers were an odd color if one wasn't from the moon. It was silver and white with light blue eye and scaly golden feet.
"It's beautiful." Serenity whispers.
"I wonder if we can-No!" Chibiusa stares in complete shock as Renity grabs the bird by its tail feathers as Onyx grabs its head, making it screech long and loud. Its feathers flew everywhere as it struggles. Then the screeching came to an abrupt halt and all was silent. Chibiusa's lower lip began to tremble as both black lunarians stood with little bits of feathers a little blood on them, grinning at each other.
"How-how could you kill it?!" Chibiusa demands of the two, "How could you kill something that beautiful so brutally?" Her eyes were a little shiny as tears began to show up there.
Serenity puts an arm around her daughter, holding the child close, but glaring at the two. "You shouldn't be so happy with yourselves. You've killed a beautiful creature, one of the moon, how do you know that it was not an endangered species?"
Renity blinks, slightly confused, and exchanged glances with Onyx, "What are you talking about?" She asked not getting it.
"That bird, duh." Rei snaps.
Then she finally nods getting it, "Oh, you mean the kalian bird?" She indicated to the dead bird her mate was holding, "It is food." She turns to Onyx, "we need one more of these birds or something like it. Come on."
She took a little bit of rope and wrapped it around the bird's feet then, with help from Onyx, ties it high in the tree and allows it to drain.
She dusted herself off and turns back to the group, "We need you guys to stay here while we hunt for more game. It'll be easier for the both of us. " She told them, "You get to rest and we'll be able to scout the area while we hunt."
"But-," Rei began to protest.
"No buts about, Calypso. Stay here." And with that the two disappears into the forest.
Rei huffs and went over to a nearby tree and sat down.
Serenity looks around, in wonder, at the foliage that surrounded them. "I wonder how this is still here?"
Setsuna, who had been thinking, overheard her queen's question. "It is because the Dark Kingdom never reached this side of the moon." She answered, also looking around, "And since nobody but the black lunarians, have perfect night vision, it would be very easy for them to hide and hunt when it turns to night."
Chibiusa cocked her head side ways, "What do you mean, Puu?" She asked curiously, "I thought it was always dark on the dark side of the moon. I mean," She blushed a little at her forwardness, "it is Dark, after all."
She smiles at the young child, "You see, when it is slightly dark, like it is now, to them it is daylight, and the pitch black is night."

"Shikaze"
He appears, bowing his head low, "Yes, sire?"
The red eyes narrowed in displeasure, "You have yet to fulfill your mission. Get them and get out."
Shikaze nods again, "Yes, your grace." Then disappears.
With a sigh Omega calls, "Vastella."
"Yes my lord?" Vastella appears, wearing a red Chinese kimono with matching shoes that resembles her other clothes. Her hair was up, like usual.
"I need you to..." A cruel smile slips across Omega's face, showing the pearly white rows of sharp teeth. "Have a little fun with the Senshi on the planet." Vastella's face remained blank, but her eyes shone at the prospects of toying with the Senshi again.
"Thank you, my lord." She said with a bow, "You have been most generous." Omega lifts a crawled hand and waves it a little, as if to dismiss the statement. "Just leave them alive."

Shirotora sighed as he worked on his fighting techniques. It had been nearly three days, on Earth, since they had left and to him and some of the senshi, it had gotten a little too quiet for his liking.
He snorted, remembering what Minako had said, " Quiet before the name, as they would say."
"You mean, 'Calm before the storm." Artemis said with exasperation.
Minako had laughed it off nervously. "Yeah...hehe."
Shiro smiled at the memory. He liked Minako. She was fun, nice, sparkled with a certain something... *And she had a nice voice....and lips, pouty lips.... * He snapped out of it, "What the hell am I doing?! Thinking about a girl at a time like this?!" *Not a girl, * His subconscious said, * A woman, and a finely shaped one at that. *
"Shut up." He mutters, "Damn conscious."
"Shirotora!"
He turns just in time to see the object of his affections (i.e. thoughts), running in. Her hair was a little ruffled by her run, and her cheeks were flushed with a lovely pink rose color, with her bosom heaving up and down as she tried to catch her breath. Her eyes sparkled, like always, but it seemed more so to him.
All in all, she was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.
"What's wrong, Venus-sama?" He asked.
"There's been an attack on Niji Avenue and we need help! Come on!"
He nods and follows her, enjoying the view immensely.
