Mgk: lol, been a long time… I have so many things going on that I haven't been able to update! Oh, here's the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my characters and the plots, the shows and stuff all belong to their respective owners.
Mgk: I'm not so sure about this chappie… it has a battle scene in it, so it'll probly be really lame. I'll try though. And thank u so much for your help chibi pippin! (she drew some pics for me of Ginny's transformation and helped me figure out the youma's attack!) well, here goes ch. 4.
Hotaru"I hope she's ready," I thought. I had just told her that I couldn't transform, she had to. "How could I have forgotten my pen?" I asked myself mentally, "now Ginny has to fight all alone, the room is designed to be soundproof!"
"Saturn Protection Power Makeup!" Ginny shouted. Immediately she was encased in a light purple glow. The youma tried to attack her, but the glow served as a barrier from harm. On Ginny's arms there appeared another, darker glow. It settled and she had on fingerless gloves. Her ears glowed a light purple too and when that settled earrings were there. Her legs glowed a purple, and soon she had boots on, sort of like punk rock boots or something. Arm bands appeared on her upper arms, and a tiara formed with a purple gemstone, slightly lighter than mine. Lastly, her fuku appeared. The skirt and bow were slightly lighter than mine, but the part of her fuku that would have been white if it was mine, was black, just like the other protectors. Her bows were smaller too.
But as the glow was fading, the youma was getting ready to slash at Ginny, and she wouldn't know what to do, or what her attacks were. So I did the stupidest thing possible. I ran at the youma, but before I even got there it shouted, "Dark Reflection!" and I was thrown off my feet, two times faster than I had been running and two times farther than I had come. I flew straight into the wall, and slammed my head against a shelve. All I was aware of was a sharp pain, than blackness.
Ginny"Hotaru! I shouted, watching her slide down the wall, but I couldn't run over to her because suddenly the demon was slashing at me with super sharp claws. I did the first thing I could think of. I had a little stick or something in my hand, but I didn't know what to do with it or anything, so I just dodged. Suddenly and idea came to me. I willed the object to become normal sized, and it did. It was big. Taller than me big. It was also very sharp. In fact, it was a glaive. I twirled it in front of me to stop the youma's attacks, and it drew back. I knew how to use it. I don't know how, but I knew.
"Orb of Destruction!" I shouted, and a glowing ball appeared at the top of the glaive. I twirled the glaive some more to shoot it off, but before my palm sized orb even reached it, the youma shouted, "Dark Reflection!" and it doubled in size as it shot back at me. I was too surprised to move, and the last thing I saw was my own attack, seconds before it hit me.
SonyaI heard a loud noise come from the hall, and ran down. A door was cracked slightly open, so I went into it, the rest of the senshi with me. It was not a pretty sight. Ginny was lying on the floor, blood everywhere, while the youma that did it to her was stepping through a portal with Hotaru slung over it's back. Before any of us could even move the portal was sealed up. We looked over at Ginny. All of the senshi looked at Ami. I wondered why, but then I realized it probably had something to do with the fact that she was so smart.
"She has a pretty bad concussion, we need to get her to the hospital right away!" Ami diagnosed. I noticed that Ginny was in a different outfit, and a spear-like object was only inches away from her hand, as if she had been holding it. Michuru ran off, probably to call an ambulance. Within seconds they had arrived. They acted all official, moving her onto a stretcher, moving so quickly. I stopped one of them.
"Please sir, is she going to be all right?" He looked confused before I realized that I had been talking in English. So I repeated my question in Japanese. He looked grave.
"We aren't sure," he said, "She seems to have gone into a coma."
"A COMA!" I yelled, switching back to English. About then, Chad came into the room.
"What happened here?" he asked.
"No time to explain, can you take us to the hospital? Follow that ambulance!" Rai pleaded.
"Yeah, sure." He pulled out his car keys and we all piled in. It was a five person car, and there were 14 of us, including Luna. Let's just say that it was uncomfortable. I was wedged between Minako and Serena, whose pigtails were in my face, and Lita was practically on top of me. We sped after the ambulance, ignoring traffic cops. They seemed to know that we were following the ambulance; they didn't try to stop us. If they could have seen us in the car however…
We made it to the hospital without any problems. We all piled out, grateful for the relief. Some pedestrians looked at us strangely, no doubt wondering how we could fit that many people in a little car like that. We ignored them and rushed up the steps. I ran to the receptionists counter.
"Ginny Weasley, just admitted. Red hair, green eyes, possible comatose patient…" I trailed off.
"Ah yes. That little girl that just came in. What were you doing?"
"I wasn't in the room with her."
"Oh, I see. Well, she's still being diagnosed."
"Can you tell me when we can see her?" I asked.
"We?" I pointed at the other scouts.
"Oh, I see. Well, yes, I can," she answered.
Two hours later
We walked into the room, all the time listening to bad news.
"Your friend has severe head trauma. She's in a coma, and it seems to be irreversible. She also has a broken wrist and several broken ribs. We're still trying to find out how severe the breaks are. They could just be fractured, or they could be broken straight through. We know one thing for certain though. Her left ankle is fractured. A spiral fracture to be exact."
"So what you're saying is you don't think she'll recover," I summarized.
"Well," the doctor said, looking really uncomfortable, "Yes, I suppose that is what we're saying. We'll try to keep her on life support as long as possible but she doesn't show up in any of our insurance records."
"She's from Europe,"
"Oh, foreign exchange program?"
"Kind of."
"Well, you need to get her parents over here ASAP."
"I… can't," I said hesitantly.
"Why not?"
"Because…well…she's a runaway." I cursed myself. That was the best cover story I could come up with?
"Do you know who her parents are?"
"No," I said firmly, no trace of doubt in my voice.
"Well then, how did she sustain those injuries?"
"A…robber or some person to that effect broke into the temple. We have a…club that meets there. She had gone off to the kitchen to get something to eat. We're guessing that she saw this person and tried to stop him or her, but this person overpowered her. We showed up in the room because we heard all of the noise, but when it saw us it fled."
"You say you saw the person. Why can't you tell us whether or not this person was male or female?" a loud, business like voice boomed. I looked to see the speaker and it was a man in a tan coat and a business suit.
"Detective Joe Shimamura," he said, "Now, I'd like to ask a few questions of these young ladies." We all looked at each other, and Serena took the lead.
"Of course, why don't we go somewhere a little quieter."
"Certainly." He led us to a room that was seemingly soundproof.
"I'd like to question each of you personally. Why don't we start with you?" he asked, pointing at me.
"Who, me?" I asked nervously.
"Yes, if you don't mind."
"Okay," I said, and he brought me into the room. It had a bright light overhead and two chairs. I was reminded of the interrogative rooms on the TV shows at home.
"Now, back to that first question. You said that you couldn't tell the gender of this person. Why?"
"The clothes that he or she was wearing were very loose and you couldn't tell what gender that person was."
"Can you describe any features?"
"I only caught a glimpse of it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Well then," he said, taking some notes, "Why was you're friend dressed the way she was?"
"We were rehearsing for a play, just a private one. We hadn't told anyone about it."
"How convenient. Do you know that her outfit is similar to the one worn by the supposed Sailor Moon?"
"Yes. That's what the play was about."
"And her part was?"
"To play the protector of Sailor Saturn."
"And where is the girl who was to play Sailor Saturn at now?"
"She wasn't here today, we don't know where she was."
"Let's stop playing these games, shall we? Either you tell me the truth, or I arrest you."
"I am telling the truth!" I shouted defiantly.
"Very well. Now, we found a spear next to where she fell. Was that hers?"
"That was part of her costume. And I don't think it was a spear. We picked it up at a pawn shop."
"How observant. It was actually a glaive. Now tell me how a normal robber could have attacked her with that glaive in her hands." My heart skipped a beat. He knew! I don't know how, but he must have known.
"I…I don't know sir. I don't think she knew how to use it, except for show."
"Very well. You may go." I left the room hurriedly, whispering, "It was a play about the Sailor Scouts!" to Michuru as I passed. She was next to go into the room. I paced outside after telling the rest of the scouts about the question and answer session. One by one he called the scouts in. After questioning Rei, who could be heard shouting several curses at him, even through the soundproof walls, he came out.
"All of your stories seem to be basically the same. You Sailor Scouts seemed to have wormed your way out of this one, but I know the truth." He walked off, leaving us staring after him.
"He knew," I whispered, "The whole time, he knew." The doctor strode out of Ginny's room.
"Well, I have some good news, and some bad news."
Mgk: hey! That's chappie 4! lol, it was terrible, but it's not as bad as it could've been! Pleeze review! Pleeze! That pic was not any of my doing, it was all chibi_pippin's work. It is ©chibi_pippin, okay ya'll? I didn't draw it! And she came up w/ the whole outfit. Next chappie…. I'm drawing a blank. Does Ginny come out of her coma? Do they rescue Hotaru? Who is Joe? Is he really a detective? I don't know, but maybe I will by next chappie. Oh well. *goes deep into thought*
