AN: You know who I own!

Raissa burst into the room. "Well, Hunter, I hope you're happy. Look who decided to visit us." She threw a newspaper down on the bed.

Hunter rubbed his eyes as he grabbed the paper. One of the stories was about a killing the night before. "Doesn't mean she's here."

"It's her. I checked it out already."

"I thought we left her in California."

"Apparently not. Tell that girlfriend of yours to watch her back." Raissa slammed the door.

* * *

Hunter and Mina were talking about the murder at school that morning. He said that he liked that she kept up with the news. Maybe he does like me; Mina thought I'm the only girl he's talked to since he came here.

Meanwhile, Amy and Lita were working on an experiment in biology. "Hi, um. I'm supposed to work with you."

Amy looked at the new girl. "Hi. I'm Amy, and this is Lita."

"Hey." Lita was preoccupied with fixing the microscope.

"Alison." She slid in the chair across the table.

"Do you know what-" Amy started.

"You two are friends with Mina Aino, right?"

The two senshi looked at each other. "What about her?" Lita asked. Alison didn't answer. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. She just- she just might be in trouble. Something that has do with the murder last night."

"Who's after her?"

"No one. Yet." Alison sighed. "Look, I can't really talk about it right now, okay?"

* * *

"Who are the Sailor Senshi?" Samantha asked.

Raye looked at her. "Superheroes. They go around and save the city from evil, you know, that sort of thing. Why?"

"Well, I thought I saw somewhere that they were around last night."

Raye nodded. That wasn't uncommon. "Yeah, those reports are always on. They're pretty popular here."

"Oh. So I guess there's not a lot of crime here, either?"

"Well…they don't really specialize in crime. It's more evil creatures that attack humans."

"Really now."

* * *

"I think that girl Alison knows something about you," Lita said. She and Mina were in Lita's apartment, waiting for the others to show up.

"Yeah. Getting killed by her cousin."

"Who's her cousin?"

"Raissa." Mina sighed. "Honestly, I don't understand why the girl hates me so much. She's not dating Hunter anymore, so you would think she'd hated him more than me."

"Maybe he dumped her, and seeing you with him is making her jealous."

"You think?"

"Sure. It's possible."

"So, what about Alison?"

"Well, she told me and Amy that she thought that you might be in trouble. She sounded really weird."

"Probably getting killed by Raissa. Anything else?"

"Hey guys!" Raye walked in and sat down.

"What's going on with Mystery Girl?" Lita asked.

"Same as ever. She was asking about us today."

"Like how?" Mina asked.

"I think she knows something. Anyone of you see the news?"

"Yeah. So what?" Lita hadn't really got upset about what happened the night before, but she did keep up with the news.

"Were we mentioned at all?"

"No. Was that why she was asking about us?"

"You could say so."

* * *

Hunter sat back in the couch. "My God, when are we ever going to lose her?"

Raissa shot him the evil eye. "It's because of that girl."

"Will you two, for once, stop it?!" They looked over at Alison. "Look, I don't care if it is Hunter's fault, but we've got a bigger situation at hand here."

"Fine," Raissa spat.

"All right. I'm worried about Mina."

"Told y-"

"Hey! No fighting, got it?" Alison was sick of them doing that.

* * *

She scanned the recent computer microfilms. Geez, these girls were more experienced than she was. Okay, maybe not the same area she dealt in, but still a lot more experienced, damn it.

Her gaze rested on a box of matches.

* * *

Raye focused on her chanting. There had to be something that had to do with the killing last night.

Raye closed her eyes and remained intent. She saw someone's image…

"Samantha?"

* * *

Hunter looked through the window. He had been there since school had let out, spying on Mina and her friend.

God, he wanted her. But he had to tell her the truth and then leave. Raissa was mad at him; Mina was in love with him, and Rugen was after him. And if Rugen found out about Mina, who knew what could happen to her?

He sighed, and disappeared into the shadows.

* * *

Raye suddenly found herself surrounded by flames, instead of at the temple.

"Raye." She turned to see Samantha standing there.

"Sam? What are you doing here? Where are-"

"What do you want to know?"

"What?" Raye was getting confused. "What we doing in here?"

"You're one of those Sailor Senshi."

Her breath caught. "How'd you find out?"

* * *

Hunter took a deep breath as he stood outside Mina's apartment. He had to tell her the truth before someone else got hurt.

He knocked.

* * *

PS: Wow. Bit of a cliffie there. So what is going on with Samantha? And what's Hunter so worried about, and why does this Rugen person going to cause so much trouble? If you review, I will continue!
