The next day in a small hospital room were 2 beds divided by a thin curtain that was closed. Lita was awake and alert, so she had decided to start reading a thriller book. Her long, brown hair was down from it's holder, and her slim hands clutched the book like a life-line. She still hurt, and that was saying a lot with the pain killers.
A rather large window filled the room on both sides of the curtain and Lita distinctly heard a large sigh from the other side. She lowered her book down and quietly asked, "Are you okay?"
For a moment there was nothing but silence, and the boy in the other bed stiffened in reflex. He then brushed his hand through his brown hair and sighed again, "No it's nothing. I'm just bored." He replied as he determined to fix his gaze to view outside of the window.
Though Lita distinctly could detect the "Don't bother me" vibes coming from the other side of the room, she still pushed back the curtain and smiled cheerfully at the guy sitting there.
He blinked back at her in surprise and she could now distinctly see his deep, brown eyes.
"Hi!" She said as she waved her non-punctured hand at him, "My name's Lita, what's yours?"
The boy who was around her age regarded her with a hard glance, then looked back towards the window. His eyes, though hard, didn't reflect his voice which said, "Call me Sayoran Li." He whispered, and his voice almost had kindness in it.
"K" She replied as she went back to her reading.
"Hold on Mrs. Mizuno! You mean she didn't come home last night?" Serena asked as she held her phone and a look of worry crossed her face.
"Yes, I didn't see her at all. I came back from my shift at the hospital and she hasn't come home!" Said a distraught woman. "Please if you hear anything about her, tell me!"
"Okay.... I will, goodbye Mrs. Mizuno." Serena said, her eyes downcast. "Where could she be?"
"Try the communicator, let's see if we can contact her!" Luna suggested as she went to sit in Serena's lap.
So Serena tried the comm, and got Ami in it.
"Ami, I was worried, your mom is worried. Where've you been?" She asked.
"Something bad's going on, I need the rest of the scouts. Can you round them all up, and Darien too?" She asked, her eyes looking a little odd.
"Yeah! Where?"
"Tokyo's Observation Center, in the center district." Ami replied.
"The one that's closed off?"
"Yes. There seems to be a dimensional disfunction there, so hurry!"
"Got it!" Serena said then turned off her communicator.
On the other side of the line, the form of Ami dematerialized into a woman with red hair and eyes. Her name was Ruby Moon, and she had been impersonating Ami and Mrs. Mizuno.
"It's time for the scouts to arrive, yes?" She asked as she turned around and smiled at the English foreigner.
"Yes, good job, Ruby Moon. Now all we need is for Spinel and Li to finish their parts of the bargain. Let's just hope that the white moon doesn't get in the way." Eli said as he smiled.
