I keep forgetting this so here goes: I do not own any of the characters used in this story! Naoko Takeuchi does. So there, nobody can sue me!! *sticks out tongue* Oh, and thank you to everybody that has reviewed so far! I'm glad you're all liking it. So here's chapter seven. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 7

Mina's P.O.V. :

Why do we always get stuck in the most pointless situations? You'd think that being superheroes would let us have some dignity, but no, we have to spend half the day wandering around ancient China looking for Serena and Amy, who took off after this guy that I guess was Darien (I couldn't see too well through Serena and Amy's dust trail). Does it sound confusing? Well, trust me it is. Even I don't get it.

"Um, Lita? Raye? Where are we?" I asked for the umpteenth time. The two of them, plus Rini, all sighed simultaneously.

"For the last time Mina," Raye said, her voice loaded with forced patience, "we don't know. So stop asking."

"For now we have to focus on finding Amy and Serena," Lita put in from behind us.

"Yeah, and we should stay together. We don't need to lose anyone else," added Rini, looking pointedly at me. What? Did she think that I was going to get lost next? I frowned. I may be an airhead sometimes, but I'm not that dumb. Give me some credit here, will ya?

Strangely, we were walking in a line with Lita behind us because she's the tallest, Raye in front of us because she's the most vicious of our group, and Rini and I were in the middle, why, I have no clue, but who cares? I think it's a good arrangement.

Suddenly some random guy stepped out of a nearby alley. "Well, what do we have here?" he said, a positively sickening look crossing his face. "What's the matter girls? You lost? Aw, then let me point you in the right direction."

Lita's green eyes darkened menacingly as they narrowed. "We aren't lost. So get lost, creep," she snapped. She turned around to go the opposite way, but the creep and lots of other creeps had surrounded us without our realizing it.

More instinctively than anything else, the three of us pushed Rini behind us and surrounded her. "You stay put," I said firmly. These perverts needed to be taught a lesson about messing with girls. Just because we're lost and by ourselves, does not mean that we are defenseless.

"Let me handle these perverts," Raye said. "Lita, you back me up. Mina, keep an eye on Rini." Her eyes flashed purple as she prepared to attack. I held onto Rini and waited for the sparks to fly... literally.
