Fire's Heart
Ahknee/Kitteen
(Disclaimer: *sigh* Owning an anime would be a wonderful experience. Fame, fortune. . . . .If I owned an anime such as Sailor Moon or Inuyasha, or had come up with the characters for it, then I wouldn't be living in a dingy little house up in Missouri, but I would live in a nice, big mansion somewhere in Japan or California where I could get a tan at any time I wanted and have a private tutor at home instead of having to go to school.)
Whoo, here is chapter four for all you nice readers! *dancedance*
Now, who else is wondering who 'The Voice' is? *watches as the readers all raise their hands*
. . . . . .I kind of thought so. ^^;; In truth, not even I knew who 'The Voice' was when I was typing that chapter, so it was going to be a surprise to even me, the author, the one who is supposed to have control over the fic yet never manages to keep control. And, just so all of you know, you were all terribly, terribly wrong. XD I can act just like my lit teacher, ha.
*sigh* This fic is taking over meh mind!! @.@
. . . . . . . .And this fic is probably going to out-fame my other fic, 'Destiny of Cosmos', my formerly most popular fic. X.x Woot, my note to myself is to keep this fic updated constantly. *is quite surprised at how winderfully this fic is blooming*
And gimme me break on the 'update soon' rants, I'm updating frequently enough, soon I'll never even have the time to work on my intended fic. O.o;;;
Anywho, review responses:
Skittles the Sugar Fairy - Living up to your namesake, I see. *snickers* Sorry, couldn't help it. And oh, man, I could just picture that. XD That would be kinda funny, let's see if I can figure that into here, somehow. And that's a bunch of 'lol's you have there, hun. XDXD
Talum - Well, here's the next chapter, then.
Angel-eyes56 - Oh, you think so too, eh? Yeah, thought so. XD What decent fan of the anime Inuyasha can't think Sesshy-boy is breathtaking? Cripes, they'd have to be insane to think he isn't! (--Whoops, lettin' meh fangirl side out a bit too often, eh?)
suzy - Eh, I know, I know. Anywho, you'll just have to find out who 'The Voice' is.
RybRedDragon05 - Well, glad you are enjoying this, 'cause this is getting to make me paranoid about not doing my homework. I swear, I still feel like I haven't done something even though I double-checked my notebook. . . .@.@
Talia Moon - Okay, votes counted, we'll just have to see where this goes. And yes, Rin is cute.
^_^ - And who are YOU to recommened ME into doing such a thing?? Huh? ^__^ Just kidding, just kidding! But really, if they tear eachother's heads off, then how could they get together? XD
Lady Light - Eh, you'll see, you'll see. . . . . . .*looks all mysterious and junk*
Firenze - Woot, glad you think that's such a wonderful idea, too! I'll make sure to type that up as soon as I finish this amazingly popular fic!!
cappy - Thanks, and no need for several people to keep on bugging me about it. X.x I get the picture already! Gah. Okay, vote added in.
Hao-sama rulze the world - Well, thanks for the nice reviews! I sense a loyal fan. *nodnod* And you got asked out?! Wow! Go you!! . . . .Which reminds me, I've never been asked out, either. *pout* Nobody likes me, they say I'm fat. . . . . .*poutpout* Eh, oh well, Mr. Perfect is out there somwhere. . . . .I just pray Mr. Perfect isn't anywhere as baka-like as Baka. (--don't ask, inside thing)
Lina Hino - *staggers a bit from the glomp she just recieved* Well. . . .This. . . .is a first. X.x Never been glomped before. . . .That should be a movie. XD Wow, you really are a loyal fan. x.X;; Yay. . . .*finally falls over from you glomping onto her too long*
JIN - Okay, got that.
Ciara - Yeah, that could possibly be.
Mars Lover - Oh yeah, it most likely was. And wonderful for you! And thanks. XD
Woot, so many reviews! *grabs Sesshoumaru and huggles him like the fangirl she was born to be, then plants a big ol' kiss on him* O.o Oh, crap, better run. . . . .*dashes away, leaving a sign behind her as she is chased*
Well, onto the fic now. X.x *is getting too many reviews* And I'll make sure to get on with a Rei/Kouga fic when my life gets less hectic. X.x

*******
Sailor Mars silently trecked along the ground, wondering what happened to the voice, seeing as it hadn't spoken for quite some time.
'I wonder. . . . . . . .What will everyone think when I tell them I've been to the past? I wonder what Setsuna would say about this if I told her.'Mars smiled at the thought. 'Yeah, being home sounds much better than this.'
It was getting cold out, and despite the special spell put over her Sailor Fuku to block out the elements as much as possible, Mars was still freezing. In a quick flash of color, her fuku disappeared to be replaced by the outfit she was wearing before.
"You!"the same voice as before said, this time a bit angry and. . . .shocked?
Rei blinked and spun around on her heel, looking wildly around the forest.
"What?! What did I do?!"Rei shouted angerly.
A woman bearing resemblance to both Rei and Kagome stepped out of the bushes, an arrow pulled taught on a bow, her emotionless brown eyes glaring directly at Rei. (Appears all of you guessers were wrong. XD)
'Whoah. . . . . . . .More resemblance going on here.'Rei thought, wondering just how many people looked like her.
"You!"the woman said again. "Who are you?"
"I am I."Rei replied, once more using this clever line.
"Oh, you think you're smart, huh?"the woman smiled evilly before letting the arrow fly, just barely misisng Rei's head, but still shearing off a few strands of her hair.
Rei's eyes widened in shock, surprised at having an arrow almost hit her dead on.
"Who do you think you are, just shooting at me like that?!"she yelled, temper flaring.
"I think you are nothing more than an impersonator!"the woman yelled, pulling another arrow out and keeping it poised on Rei.
"Eh, you like arrows, eh?! Well, I'll show you archery!"Rei began. "Mars Crystal Power, Make Up!"
In the bursts of flame, Rei's clothes faded and were replaced with her Sailor Fuku once again, and when the flames faded, Sailor Mars had her own flaming arrow poised for firing, aimed straight for the mysterious woman.
'For self defense. . . . .'she thought, 'I had to reveal my identity.'
"I am Sailor Mars, warrior of fire and spirit! State your name and I'll try to go easy no you."Mars proclaimed.
"I don't think you can match up to my skills."the woman said, firing her arrow.
"Flame Sniper!"Mars yelled, her bow and arrow flaring up even more before she released the arrow, where it met the other right between the two combatants.
Both arrows headed for eachother at top speeds, but both hit eachother, slicing through eachother's middles, the halves falling to the ground, quite useless now.
Mars blinked, surprised at having her arrow stopped in its tracks. That never happened before, only strong enemies like Galaxia ever managed to stop such attacks. . . . .
"Just who are you?!"Mars yelled, turning a blazing hot gaze on her opponent.
"Your worst nightmare."the woman smiled evilly.
'Wow, they had that line way back here? Wow.'Mars blinked before retorting, "Well, I doubt you can match up to all of my attacks."
"Then are you a demon?"
Mars blinked. "A demon? Why would I be a demon?"
"You have an arsenal of elemental attacks, fire, to be exact on my guess, and that could mean you're a fire demon."
Mars growled. "I'm no demon!"
"Prove it."
Mars blinked, having expected that just slightly, but not entirely. Not sure on a clever way to get herself out of this situation she had dug herself deeper into, she just blinked and stood there like a fool, sweatdropping slightly at how she managed to come up with smart-aleck remarks whenever she didn't need them and never when she did.
'Baka.'she mentally berated herself.
"Leave the girl alone."a mysterious voice said. (Anyone care to take a guess? Huh? *gets in your faces* HUH?!?!? *realizes she may be scaring off readers* Ooph, um, sorry.)
Mars stood up straight, looking around in confusion, pondering who was her new savior.
The woman growled.
"Sesshoumaru! STay out of my affairs!"
Mars froze for a split second.
'Sesshoumaru?! That cold man Rin was staying with? But. . . . .'
"I don't think I will."
The bushes rustled and out stepped the most graceful and breathtaking man in all past, present, and future.
"Stay away, or I will kill you."the woman threatened.
"I'd like to see you try, woman."
Mars blinked, realizing that this was the chance to escape. But something told her to stay. . . . .And that something gave her a reason why.
"Burning Mandala!"Mars cried out, the rings of flame surrounding her before looping out and aiming for the woman, who gave off the first sign of emotion Mars had seen yet, fear, and took off, the rings going after her, diminishing if they were about to crash into any trees. (Who says Rei can't respect the wildlife? Just 'cause she can burn it doesn't mean she has to.)
Sesshoumaru turned to Mars, giving her a. . . . .once over.
Mars blinked, 'Dang, he has nice eyes. . . . . ' She then mentally beat herself up.
Mars flushed slightly under the attention. "What are you staring at?!"
"Just making sure on who you are."he replied cooly.
Mars blinked. "Wha. . .? You know who I am??"
"Hai."
"But. . . . How?"
"I can tell."
Mars blinked as he began walking away.
"Hey!!!! Just where do you think you're going?!?!"
*******
"Ooh, shouldn't she have been back by now????"Kagome fretted, a bit on the bouncy side from being worried.
"She's fine!"Inuyasha shouted, annoyed at Kagome's constant worrying.
"Osuwari!!"Kagome shouted, causing the hanyou to kiss the ground. "Be more considerate, Inuyasha! She's my cousin, and I'm supposed to help take care of her!!! What if something happened to her?!?! I could get in big trouble when I go back home!!!"
"Kagome, please calm down!!! I'm sure she's going to get back just fine!"Sango said, patting her frined on the shoulder.
"She's better get back soon, and safe, or I'm going to go nuts. . . . ."Kagome moaned, slumping onto the ground.
"Just relax and take deep breaths, Kagome."Miroku said, trying to get closer but being hit away by Sango.
"Anyway, I'm sure she'll be back soon."Shippou said, looking up at Kagome. "She's strong, right?"
"Yeah, I guess."Kagome sighed.
*******
"Hey, guys, I've just come up with a great idea!"USagi said, hopping up and dropping the book she was 'studying' from.
"What is it, Usa?"Minako asked, looking up from her book.
"We can go visit Rei at her cousin's house!"
"Wouldn't that be intruding on family time?"Makoto asked, looking at at others.
"It sort of would be. . . . ."Ami said, pondering the matter.
"Well, we could call and ask her if she misses us and wants company!"Usagi said.
"Oh, yeah, and who knows, we might meet some cute guys while we're there!"Minako said, her and Makoto going starry-eyed.
"I guess I'm outnumbered."Ami sighed, shaking her head. "Well, let's consult Luna and Artemis and see what they have to say about this, and what we are going to do about schoolwork."
"Puh-lease! We can just sign up to go to the school Rei's cousin goes to while we stay there! And I'm sure Luna and Artemis will agree!"Usagi stated enthusiastically.
(Cut to them asking Luna and Artemis)
". . . . .and we can sign up to go to Rei's cousin's school while we're there!"USagi stated proudly.
"Absolutely not."Luna said.
"Aww, why not?"Usagi whined.
"What will you do about your parents?"Artemis said for her.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it!"Usagi pleaded, using those famous last words that got many in deep s***.
"No."Luna stated plainly but firmly.
"Ooh."Usagi pouted.
"Wouldn't it just be easier to contact her on her communicatore?"Makoto asked.
"Great idea!"Ami said, pulling back her sleeve to reveal her watch, which doubled as her communicator.
Everyone waited and held their breaths as Ami pressed the red button, waiting for the static on the screen to lift.
After a minute of static, the screen began flashing.
"What the. . . . .What's happening?"Usagi asked.
"I . . . .don't know."Ami replied.
The communicator bleeped in a dying sort of way before fritzing out and blowing up on Ami's wrist.
"Ami?! Are you hurt?"Minako asked.
"Fine. . . .just a small scratch."Ami said, smiling slightly as she pulled the communicator off. "But I fear Rei may be in worse trouble. If we couldn't get any contact from here on my communicator, who knows what has happened to her. I should run a scan on my computer."
"You do that! I'll go tell Luna and Artemis!"USagi said, jumping up.
"I'll go with you."Makoto also stood.
*******
Mars trailed silently after Sesshoumaru, wondering why exactly he had bothered to follow her when he seemed so cold at the camp.
'Gah! Men are too damned confusing! And they say us woman are hard to figure out.'
(Yup, men ARE confusing in some ways. But hey, they ARE pretty easy in others. XD . . . .Oh, crap, not in THAT way you stinkin' perverts! Eww. *shudders* Stop twistin' meh words around. . . . .)
'And why the hell am I following him?! I should be out there searching for Kagome and her groupies. . . . . . . .Of course he's probably leading you back to that camp with a warm fire and some food and. . . . . .Gah! Must not resort to thinking like Usagi. . . . .'
(Cripes, I'm making Rei think a bit weird for herself. . . . . .Oh well. *shrugs and doges the fruit being thrown at her, meant for pelting her in the head, for giving too many author's notes in one small amount of space* . . .Looks like playing dodging all those rouge balls in football and volleyball and junk in gym is useful, after all. ^__^ Oh, and to those of you who watch the dub YuGiOh and Pokemon junk. . . . .You should see how many VAs are the same. O.o Yami's. . .er, the 'Big Yugi's voice=Entei, Mewtwo. Seto=Brock. Mai=Cassidy, of Team Rocket. 'Spirit of the Ring', 'Bad Bakura', yadda yadda=Tracey. Crap, this is one screwed up world. . . . .And yes, I'll shut up now.)
With a tiny sigh of aggrivation, Mars picked up her pace and, with dull irony, noted how he made walking on this rough terrain so elegant seeming. Cripes, she had a hard enough time in these cursed heels looking graceful- how he could just manage with those thin black shoes was beyond her imagination.
'Men. . . . .Gah!! He's no man, he's the friggin' devil sent up to heaven!'Mars fumed, quie angry at herself and that man in front of her, "Argh!"
Sesshoumaru had sensed her little waves of anger, but just now turned around after hearing her yell out in frustration.
"Something the matter?"he asked, not really seeming all that interested.
Mars blinked before turning a fiery glare at him. "Oh, now why would there be anything wrong? I mean, walking around HEELS, in the woods on rough grounds, in a SKIRT when it's so FRIGGIN' COLD OUT, and stuck in the past when it ISN'T EVEN MY TIME, isn't all THAT BAD!"
"Stop yelling, or you'll attract unwanted attention, wench."
That was her last straw.
"WHAT did you just CALL ME?"Mars bit out.
". . . . ."
Mars fumed.
"TELL ME!"
"...."
Mars scowled and made a few faces at his back, deciding on some terms of revenge for a later time. (See, see?! She's gonna do something to him later on!!! I dunno what, but hey. . . . . .)
With a long sigh an hopes of revenge on this horribly wonderful man-person, Sailor Mars kept her will of steel and continued on her long treck through the forest with what had to be one of the most dangerous and beautiful men in the whole universe. (I beg to differ. . . . .*dodges rotten vegetables from Sesshoumaru fans*)
*******
And there is your ending to chapter four! Ugh, that was kind of long, if you ask me. *checks to see how many pages it was*
Six pages. . . . .Not very bad, if you ask me, expecially with the mood I've been in lately. I've had a very, very bad day today (I'm typig this up on Friday, all of you people who don't check the update dates).
Anywho, please, review, and help me cheer up! I'm feeling so down and depressed right now, I feel so alone and sad.

Everyone waited and held their breaths as Ami pressed the red button, waiting for the static on the screen to lift.
After a minute of static, the screen began flashing.
"What the. . . . .What's happening?"Usagi asked.
"I . . . .don't know."Ami replied.
The communicator bleeped in a dying sort of way before fritzing out and blowing up on Ami's wrist.
"Ami?! Are you hurt?"Minako asked.
"Fine. . . .just a small scratch."Ami said, smiling slightly as she pulled the communicator off. "But I fear Rei may be in worse trouble. If we couldn't get any contact from here on my communicator, who knows what has happened to her. I should run a scan on my computer."
"You do that! I'll go tell Luna and Artemis!"USagi said, jumping up.
"I'll go with you."Makoto also stood.

Mars trailed silently after Sesshoumaru, wondering why exactly he had bothered to follow her when he seemed so cold at the camp.
'Gah! Men are too damned confusing! And they say us woman are hard to figure out.'
(Yup, men ARE confusing in some ways. But hey, they ARE pretty easy in others. XD . . . .Oh, crap, not in THAT way you stinkin' perverts! Eww. *shudders* Stop twistin' meh words around. . . . .)
'And why the hell am I following him?! I should be out there searching for Kagome and her groupies. . . . . . . .Of course he's probably leading you back to that camp with a warm fire and some food and. . . . . .Gah! Must not resort to thinking like Usagi. . . . .'
(Cripes, I'm making Rei think a bit weird for herself. . . . . .Oh well. *shrugs and doges the fruit being thrown at her, meant for pelting her in the head, for giving too many author's notes in one small amount of space* . . .Looks like playing dodging all those rouge balls in football and volleyball and junk in gym is useful, after all. ^__^ Oh, and to those of you who watch the dub YuGiOh and Pokemon junk. . . . .You should see how many VAs are the same. O.o Yami's. . .er, the 'Big Yugi's voice=Entei, Mewtwo. Seto=Brock. Mai=Cassidy, of Team Rocket. 'Spirit of the Ring', 'Bad Bakura', yadda yadda=Tracey. Crap, this is one screwed up world. . . . .And yes, I'll shut up now.)
With a tiny sigh of aggrivation, Mars picked up her pace and, with dull irony, noted how he made walking on this rough terrain so elegant seeming. Cripes, she had a hard enough time in these cursed heels looking graceful- how he could just manage with those thin black shoes was beyond her imagination.
'Men. . . . .Gah!! He's no man, he's the friggin' devil sent up to heaven!'Mars fumed, quie angry at herself and that man in front of her, "Argh!"
Sesshoumaru had sensed her little waves of anger, but just now turned around after hearing her yell out in frustration.
"Something the matter?"he asked, not really seeming all that interested.
Mars blinked before turning a fiery glare at him. "Oh, now why would there be anything wrong? I mean, walking around HEELS, in the woods on rough grounds, in a SKIRT when it's so FRIGGIN' COLD OUT, and stuck in the past when it ISN'T EVEN MY TIME, isn't all THAT BAD!"
"Stop yelling, or you'll attract unwanted attention, wench."
That was her last straw.
"WHAT did you just CALL ME?"Mars bit out.
". . . . ."
Mars fumed.
"TELL ME!"
"...."
Mars scowled and made a few faces at his back, deciding on some terms of revenge for a later time. (See, see?! She's gonna do something to him later on!!! I dunno what, but hey. . . . . .)
With a long sigh an hopes of revenge on this horribly wonderful man-person, Sailor Mars kept her will of steel and continued on her long treck through the forest with what had to be one of the most dangerous and beautiful men in the whole universe. (I beg to differ. . . . .*dodges rotten vegetables from Sesshoumaru fans*)
*******
And there is your ending to chapter four! Ugh, that was kind of long, if you ask me. *checks to see how many pages it was*
Six pages. . . . .Not very bad, if you ask me, expecially with the mood I've been in lately. I've had a very, very bad day today (I'm typig this up on Friday, all of you people who don't check the update dates).
Anywho, please, review, and help me cheer up! I'm feeling so down and depressed right now, I feel so alone and sad.
