"I know exactly who could help her." Haruka stated….

"Who?" Michelle and Setsuna asked simultaneously.

"The Starlights." Haruka answered with a slight grin adorning her face.

"What?! You don't even like them!" Michelle whispered loudly.

"I don't, but they are the only ones who have the resources to help our Princess who is dying as we speak." Haruka said with passion and conviction.

Michelle and Setsuna were both still shocked, but both resigned and nodded their heads in agreement to Haruka's suggestion. They needed to get Serena help, and fast.

"Alright, let's go then. We can't teleport, but I can make a portal to Kinmoku." Setsuna said.

Then, Setsuna waved her staff in a large arch above their heads and then set the end at her feet as she called, "Kinmoku, the Sailor Starlights." A swirl of colors erupted in front of them and then called down to a black hole. Heruka picked Serena up from the bed and stepped through the black hole, followed closely by Michelle and Setsuna. They walked through a hall of swirling colors and began to notice a small light that shown ahead of them.

Haruka could feel the blood from Serena's weak body flowing down her own arms, the smell wanting to make her retch. When she didn't think she could handle much more of it, the light surrounded them all and they were then standing in a lush garden outside a beautiful castle.

"This must be where the Starlights are at." Michelle said as she hurried ahead to try and find someone or one of the Starlights.

"I sense another magic here. Can you feel it, Yaten?" Taiki asked as he stood from his meditative position on the floor next to his brother.

"I do, multiple kinds of magics. One is much stronger than any of the others. Seiya?" Yaten turned to his other brother to ask him, but was confused at what he saw.

Seiya looked as though he had been hit over the head with something extremely hard. He slowly opened his mouth as though to say something, but when he began to move his lips no sounds were made. Clearing his throat and mind, Seiya said, "It is Serena's magic. Sailor Moon is here now. I could tell her magic from anyone else's anywhere." With that said, he got up and bolted from the meditation room, leaving two very stunned brothers behind.

Seiya could feel that Serena was hurt and so ran even faster through the halls of the castle, startling maids and workers as he rushed by them. All he could think to himself was, "Serena's here, Serena's here. Serena's hurt. I must get to her!"

He threw the doors to the garden open and surveyed the grounds. He gasped as he saw Setsuna, Michelle, and Haruka. "What is Haruka carrying? It looks like a big bloody rag!" Seiya thought, then he felt faint as he realized that said big bloody rag was the frail body of his Serena.

"What happened?! What – why – I – she –" but Seiya was cut off by Haruka.

"She's been terribly injured, but we cannot help her. We need your help to heal her. Please, we must hurry." The passion and pain present in Haruka's voice made Seiya want to cry, but instead he nodded, ran to Haruka and took Serena from her arms.

"Go inside and as one of the maids or servants to take you to get cleaned up and for something to eat. I will be with Yaten and Taiki healing Serena. I'll send someone to tell you if there is any news of her condition, good or bad." And then he disappeared from their sight, with a slight red trail or blood marking his path.

"We should get something to eat, and Haruka, you need to get cleaned up. Let's go inside." Michelle said, as she took Haruka who was about to faint at the words 'good or bad' and helped lead her into the castle, with Setsuna following close behind them.

Seiya ran as quickly as possible considering he had a 16-year-old girl in his arms, not to mention that it was the love of his life. He met up with Yaten and Taiki as he was rushing down the hall to the healing rooms. The two brothers, didn't say a word, just merely ran ahead of Seiya so that they could prepare the proper supplies for the intensive healing that would be necessary.

(Just so you know, walking through the portal took only a few minutes to Haruka, Michelle, Setsuna, and Serena, but to the earth, it took a few hours. Just to clarify just in case you get confused with the next few paragraphs. If you have any questions review and ask me there. Enjoy!)

Meanwhile, as Serena's life hung in the balance, the Sailor Scouts and Darien were all extremely upset. They had all felt really bad about the night before and had all berated Rei for her mumble about Serena not being a good enough leader. They had all felt so badly about it that they promised to talk to her the next day at school. But Serena wasn't at school the next day and so they decided to visit her at home after school.

The bell rang and Ami rushed out of class, which was quite unusual for her to do. She ran straight for the Crown Arcade to meet the other girls there, they were all going to head over to Serena's house together and apologize. When she reached the front, she waited only a few minutes before Mina, Lita, and Rei all ran up to her. Without even saying a word, they headed in the direction of Serena's house.

When they got there, they rang the doorbell and waited, but they didn't have to wait for long, as Mrs. Tsukino flung the door open with such vigor, the girls thought that it would break off of its hinges. Mrs. Tsukino looked much paler than usual and her eyes were bloodshot from shedding so many tears.

"Is Serena with you?" Mrs. Tsukino cried out without even letting them through the door.

The girls all stared at each other and then Ami answered, "No, Mrs. Tsukino. We are here to see her, she wasn't at school today and we wanted to tell her something about last night."

Mrs. Tsukino sank to the floor with the door wide open, tears streaming down her sorrow-filled face. Mr. Tsukino came from behind her and picked her up and helped her inside. He waved the girls to follow as he entered the house.

"Sit down here and relax Irene. She will turn up, don't worry. If she doesn't turn up then the police will find her." Turning to the four friends of his missing daughter he saw shock, fear, and tears. He hated to be the one to tell them, but he had to. They deserved to know what was going on. "Serena is missing. She wasn't in her room this morning and we got a call from the school saying that she hadn't ever shown up. We've been scavenging the city all day and we've still had no word or anything about her. I'm so sorry that you had to find out like this. If you have any ideas of where she might be, please, let us know." With that he led the girls back to the door and then closed the door softly behind them.

What will the girls do? What will Darien say/do when he finds out that Serena is missing? Will Serena be alright? Stay tuned and find out! I hope you liked it and keep on reading! Reviews are very welcome! -Lara1786
