I just want to say thank you to all of you guys who reviewed!!! So sorry I
didn't do it before! So sometime soon, I'll post a list of thank-yous, and
after that I'll be sure and thank you all each chapter. Now read and see
what'll happen!
CHAPTER 8
Raye's P.O.V. :
I couldn't believe these guys. They were really pathetic, trying to attack four girls. And did there have to be that many? I didn't think that there needed to be ten guys in order to take on four girls, but I read the threat as a challenge.
"I'm warning you; you'll be sorry," I said, reaching into my pocket.
"I like the feisty ones. Leave this one to me," said the biggest and obviously the dumbest one. I shook my head, a small smirk curling my lips. This guy would just have to learn not to mess with me the hard way.
He advanced towards me and I whipped out one of my anti-evil parchments. "MARS FIRE... CHARGE!" I screamed, leaping at the guy and slapping the parchment onto his forehead. Instantly he was frozen. His fellow pervs all took a giant step away from us. "Don't worry boys, I saved some for you too," I purred, whipping out dozens of my parchments and creating a whirlwind. I can use a small amount of my Sailor powers when I'm not transformed, which comes in handy at times like the present.
The parchments floated around me in the wind and I could feel my long hair swirling around me along with them. "Evil spirits disperse... MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE!" I let the parchments fly and a wave of fire briefly surrounded us then vanished, leaving our attackers partially paralyzed and charred (more like burned to a crisp).
"Wow, that's what I call getting things done," Mina commented. "I'm impressed."
"That was awesome! Can you do it again?" Rini exclaimed.
I smiled. "If anyone threatens us again, I will," I replied. Inwardly, I flinched. Kids these days. You go figure.
"Hey," Lita cut in good-naturedly, "You can't have all the fun. I get dibs on the next fight."
"Sure. Whatever." I brushed off her comment because I sensed an aura that wasn't like the other guys strewn around us. It was... good? I had to find this guy and quick. I focused my energies and found the target. I ran over to where he was. When I got there, I clapped a hand over my mouth. "Oh, my god, are you okay? What were you doing here?" I asked frantically, pulling my parchment off of his forehead.
"I was trying to help you guys and this is the thanks I get," the guy sputtered. He got to his feet shakily and began dusting himself off. When he was all clean, he frowned. "Exactly why I don't like women; they always get you into some kind of trouble when you try to help." He shook his head in disgust. I stared at him. What the hell was his problem?
"Well, we didn't ask for your help, so it's your fault you got burned," I shot back. This guy was so working my nerves. If he hadn't pissed me off so much, I might have thought he was cute. He had wild red hair the color of flames and these really intense greenish hazel eyes. And it didn't hurt that he was tall; my guess 5'10".
He opened his mouth to speak again, but at that moment, I heard Serena's voice. "Raye? Lita? Mina? Rini? Is that you?" she yelled at the top of her voice.
"We're over here, Serena!" Mina and Rini called back. I watched as Serena, Amy, and a girl I didn't know appeared, along with ...Darien?! I froze. This couldn't be right. It couldn't be him. Or could it?
Lita, Mina and Rini were all speechless. Then Rini got a hold of herself and shrieked, "DARIEN!", hurtling towards him.
"HOLD IT!" Serena said, grabbing Rini by her collar as she went streaking by.
"Stay put." Amy's voice was deadly calm and serious. "This isn't Darien."
"Then who is he?" Lita asked, her gaze darting back and forth from the Darien-look alike to Amy, waiting for an answer.
"This is Tamahome." Amy didn't look fazed at all when our jaws dropped to the ground. The girl commented, "I'm getting hungry."
Tamahome sighed in frustration. "You're always hungry, Miaka," he retorted.
"Oh, and this is Miaka Yûki," Amy amended.
We, however were still trying to absorb the fact that this... this ... duplicate in front of us was not Darien and weren't able to speak. Typically, Rini was the first to recover her powers of speech.
"Then what the hell is going on?!" Rini exploded.
"Watch your mouth, Rini," Serena snapped, grabbing one of her daughter's pink ponytails and yanking. Rather hard, I'm afraid. Rini howled in momentary pain.
"What'd you do that for? Have you lost your mind?" Rini whined, but Serena turned a deaf ear.
I almost decided it was best to act as if I didn't know them for the time being. They weren't usually this bad, and I was not going to deal with it. At least not the way I usually do.
"Hey, guys, cut it out. There's no time for that," I said, my voice quiet but commanding, forceful but not harsh. Oh, all right, I said it gently. That is so not like me! What the hell is up with me? For some reason, I wasn't as pissed at Serena and Rini as I usually am when they bicker in public.
I turned back to Amy. "So what's the deal, Ames?" I asked her. Everybody was staring at me as if I'd lost my mind. Well, sorry guys, but I don't think this is as big a deal as you seem to think it is.
"Ahem." Amy cleared her throat impatiently. Her left eyebrow was raised, a sure sign of annoyance. But why? Amy never got mad... or did she? my mind questioned. This was too bizarre.
"Sorry," I said, catching the attention spans of Mina, Lita and Rini, and directing them towards Amy, who proceeded to explain in a clipped, somewhat irritated voice. She minced no words, as usual, but for some reason she was being sharp.
"So then what happened to Darien?" Mina asked innocently.
Serena piped up, "We'll tell you that after we eat. Let's go!!!"
"You read my mind Serena!!! I'm with you," said Miaka as she and Serena linked arms and skipped off down the darkening street.
"This is too much," Tamahome mumbled before taking off after the two seemingly food-crazed maniacs.
I chuckled and went along with the other girls and that guy from before, who kept shooting me annoyed glances. I suppose it was childish of me, but I stuck my tongue out at him. Luckily, it did the trick. He didn't look at me again until we got to where we were going: the Imperial Palace.
We were all shocked, but didn't object to going in. That jerk would not stop staring at me. So I stared back. Miaka finally noticed the tension between us and took action.
"Tasuki! What did I tell you about terrorizing females?" she demanded.
I smirked as he pouted and flounced off. This could turn out to be lots of fun, if used the right way. Because I had a feeling that Tasuki and I would be knocking heads often on this mission to find Darien.

Okay that's all... for now! I know you guys hate cliffies, but I may or may not update in the near future, because I'm out of story for now... sorry. I promise I'll work hard and comeback with lots more. So please be patient! Ja ne!
