Chapter 14

Last time-
"Aiko! Get your butt over here and give your mother a hug!"
***
Aiko looked behind her, everyone following her gaze.
"Mother! Damion!" She ran over to hug her mother, then hugged her younger brother, Damion. He gave her a grin, then proceeded to hug Ami, and shake hands with James, Kevin, and Lisa. They re-united for about five minutes, with her grandmother comenting on how big she'd gotten, and how fast she'd grown.
"Shame on you Aiko, I haven't seen my Ami since she was five years old! What have you two done with yourselves all this time!" As expected, her grandmother Aileen proceeded to lecture Aiko. (Aileen, Aiko, Ami....I've really messed this up @:P ) Mamoru stood off to the side like a perfect gentleman, and when Aiko noticed this, she grabbed his arm and dragged him forwards.
"This is a friend of Ami's, he was kind enough to give us a lift here," explained Aiko, and Mamoru bowed.
"Ami! Mamoru! Trouble!" The entire group turned to look, and Aileen frowned at the young woman who ran towards them. Ami kept some loud friends. Lisa, Kevin, James and Aiko instantly recognized the girl as Rei, one of Ami's good friends.
"What's happened honey," asked Aiko. Rei leaned down and placed her hands on her knees to support herself, as she took a deep breath. She had obviously just run from the other side of the airport, from her face.
"I didn't know you were here, Rei," James noted. Ami looked away from him, and met Rei's gaze.
"What's going on," she said in a low voice, nodding towards her family.
"It's-," Rei stopped and stared at the group. She grabbed Ami's arm and pulled her towards her, whispering something in her ear. Ami paled, and looked towards Mamoru, who nodded. He and Rei ran off in the other direction, and Ami turned to face her family.
"Why did Mamoru run off, what's going on Ami," asked Lisa.
"Minako- uh...she's here and she's..., come on." Ami tried answering.
"Ami!"
"Let's not waste any time, baggage claim is right there, let's go," she said quickly, ushering the group over. Her grandmother and uncle each had one suitcase, as they said. Her uncle recognized his black one right away, and they waited for her grandmothers green one. It didn't come, and everything was repeated.
"Mom, are you sure your suitcase was green," Aiko asked.
"Ah, here it is," her uncle Damion lifted a dark blue suitcase off of the rack.
"Mother, that suitcase has passed by us 50 times already! So silly," Aiko said, grabbing it from Damion.
"I still don't see what the big problem was with Rei, honey," Aiko stated, as she heaved her mothers suitcase onto a cart.
"Nothing, you know Rei, always making a big deal out of nothing," Ami said with a nervous chuckle.
"Yes, I have met Rei, but she's a calm girl, and I've never seen her over-react. She's a priestess, isn't she," asked Aiko. Ami avoided answering and led them towards the door. The note said to stick close to the bride to be, but did that mean her mother was in danger? Unless...unless it was a distraction. Maybe the enemy wanted her away from her friends, and not fighting. As they walked, James noticed more and more of Ami's friends, as did everyone but Aileen and Damion.
"Ami, what're the rest of you friends doing here," Aiko asked, suddenly feeling angry that she was so clueless as to what was going on.
They stepped out the door, and Ami ushered a van-like taxi over, smiling at the driver. She let everyone in, but didn't enter herself.
"What are you waiting on, Ami. Get in," her mother commanded.
"Um...I'll catch a ride with Mamoru, there's no room anyways," Ami said, walking away and entering the building.
"Wait, wait a minute, you're coming with us!" Aiko jumped out, and turned to James.
"Will you guys wait a few minutes, please. get to know each other. You're soon to be family," she said, smiling. They all sat in silence for a while, until Lisa spoke up.
"Anyone remember the address we're staying at?" Everyone grew silent.
"I'm sure Aiko will be back here soon," Lisa said positively, "an even if she's not, we'll figure it out!"
"Anyone got any money on them to pay the taxi," asked Kevin. Again, it grew silent.
"Oh, Aiko forgot her purse, and Ami rarely carries one," James said. The driver looked back at them.
"You're all some of Ami's family," he said, almost as a statement rather than a question.
"Ami..yes. How did you know?" Asked James. The guy smiled, and taking a closer look at him, they realized he was no older than 17 or 18.
"Name's Greg, I'm an old friend of Ami's. I'm back in Tokyo and working part-time," he said.
"Good for you," Lisa said, knowing she didn't get a job until she was 23. Greg met their eyes, and James noticed the same type of secretiveness Ami's own eyes held, except for him it was as if he knew something that they didn't, and never would know.
"Now, about payment-" Damion started.
"It's on me, Ami's helped me out a few times as well. As for where you're headed, I've been there a few times before, and I'm sure miss Mizuno will be back soon," he offered. Everyone was silent after this, until Aileen and Lisa smiled.
"Awww....that's so nice! Of course, thankyou!" Greg smiled and leaned back, waiting.
--------------
Ami ran into the doors past the guards, whom had all abandoned their posts. Her friends were spread out all over, and she had yet to find any of them. An explosion sounded next to her, and people ran out of the place, screaming.
Aiko walked in, and couldn't see Ami, until she got a little farther in. An explosion happened near Ami, and instead of screaming and running away, she ran towards it, against the crowd. Aiko followed.
"Ami!" Ami turned to look behind her. Over the speakers, there were people asking that the airport be evacuated. All flights were cancelled, and any flights now arriving at the airport were being redirected to another airport.
"Ami, quickly, let's get out of here,"Aiko said.
Ami shook her head and ran to her mother.
"What're you doing here, I thought I put you on a taxi with Greg," Ami practically shouted. Aiko was taken back. Ami was never angry, and always calm. However, the expression on her face proved otherwise.
"Don't you get mouthie with me, Ami Mizuno..." Aiko began to lecture.
"Mother, be quiet. It's for the best that you get out of here, now," Ami said, trying to keep her cool.
"Don't talk to me like that, you know it's best for you not to be running around city airports at 9:00 A.M, unsupervised! During attacks!" Ami rolled her eyes.
"Come on, let's get you out of here," Ami said, grabbing her mothers hand and leading her towards the door with surprising strength, and Aiko couldn't stop her.
"Ami, watch out," a voice screamed. Aiko's head shot up. It was Minako. Her forhead was bleeding as she ran over. Ami let go of Aiko's hand, and she and Minako stood in front of Aiko.
"Minako! Your head! Let me take a look at it," Aiko said, but Ami put her arm up to stop her, while looking around.
"Ami, what?"
"Shhhhhhh," Ami said slowly, meeting Minako's gaze. The area got very quiet. Someone tried to strike Minako in the forhead a second time, and the two reacted immediately. Minako grabbed the arm of the invisible attacker, and it became clear. It was just an average youma. She flipped it over unto it's back. It layed still. The two backed up. It jumped up again, and as if an invisible voice was calling to it, it dissapeared. Ami took this opportunity to
"Ami, what is going on," her mother said, grabbing her wrist. Ami continued to pull her out the door, not noticing when her communicater slipped off into her mothers hand. Aiko quickly tucked it into her pocket. Greg had just started the van, probably knowing to wait when he saw all of the people run out. She knocked on the window opposite to him, and he opened it.
"My mother's decided to come along, I'm going to find Mamoru and head strait home, since I think Minako needs a ride as well," Ami said, opening the door for her mother to climb in next to Greg. She did so soundlessly.
"I- no Ami, come with us," her mother said, seemingly a bit shocked and at a loss for words.
"I'll be fine, just until I find Mamoru and Minako some help," Ami said.
"But what about all of those...things inside," Aiko said.
"Well, before you entered I saw Sailor Moon, I'm sure they've already taken care of everything inside, you should get home and help grandma Aileen. Look, there's Minako and Mamoru now," Ami said, ushering towards the door. The two waved to everyone. Her mother sighed, seemingly unsure of what was going on.
"Alright, alright." Ami nodded and ran off towards the other two, and they waved as the van dissapeared out of the airport parking lot. Their smiles dissapeared once they were out of view.
"Where's Usagi," Ami asked.
"East part of the airport with Duo, Mamoru and I are headed their now. Rei and Wufei, along with Heero and Makoto are in the back parking lot, also fending off some youma. Trowa, Haruka, and Michiru, along with Quatre and Setsuna are at the terminal G, near where they load passengers. I believe there is an empty plane there, and hopefully they haven't been driven inside that cramped space to fight. You better check that out, too. I don't think anyone of them has transformed, for fear of Noko and Koto watching, or for fear that there are hidden cameras all over the airport. I'm sure you could take all of those out in fifteen minutes once you've found everyone." Minako had gone from ditzy to superior. Ami nodded at her, feeling proud that once it got serious, her friends would too.
They seperated.

Short, but I'm afraid I will never get this story finished before break. I was just giving everyone a little something to read because it will have to be on hold for at least a month. After that, I will have finished with my finals and started my second semester classes, so I will have some more free time to write. Happy Holidays!
Tenshi-Hotaru: Thanks for your review!
