Usagi and Draco were the first to enter the Great Hall decorated with Halloween decorations. Four professors immediately focused on them. Haruka and Snape wanted to kill Malfoy though each for different reasons. Michiru just rolled her eyes and Setsuna grinned knowingly. After everyone was in and seated Dumbledore stood up. "I would just like to say Happy Halloween! Dig in students!" He sat down and food appeared on the table. Usagi ate only lightly and wondered why she was here. : Isn't this how I felt during the balls or the councils too? : she wondered. Malfoy was chatting away about something she had no clue about. He was really getting annoying. She wanted to tell him to shut the hell up, but her diplomatic side came over and she sat there bored. Finally the music came on and Malfoy asked her to dance. She stood up and they joined the other students on the dance floor.
Meanwhile, Professor Snape was having an internal argument. : Dude, you should go take her from him! : Devil Snape said. : She is a student and might not appreciate it very much. : Replied Angel Snape. : Who gives a care. If he likes her he should go get her. Besides I don't think she is too happy with Malfoy anyways. : Devil Snape retorted. Angel Snape was silent before saying : A professor shouldn't maintain relationships with a student. : : Would the both of you shut up!: Snape shouted silently. Both voices instantly shut up. "Great now I'm going insane." Snape whispered to himself. He looked up and saw the two of them dancing to one of the songs. Red hot rage boiled up inside him and he wanted to tear Malfoy away from her and carry Usagi away. (Tada! You have your couple, peoples.) Fortunately caution over came him and he just sat there fuming silently.
Usagi was quickly getting tired of Malfoy. "I'm tired. Let's take a break." She suggested. "Ok." He replied and led her over to one of the tables. They sat silently for a few moments, before Minako appeared. "Do you mind if I dance with Malfoy?" she asked both of them. Malfoy looked over at Usagi. "Have fun." Was all she said. Usagi sat there thinking and looked up as she felt someone approach. It was the Slytherin girl, Hotaru. "Can I help you?" Usagi asked. She sat down and looked at Usagi. : The hime has changed a lot and not just physically : Hotaru thought to herself. "Actually.." She started to say but was interrupted by a crash. They both jumped up and looked at the source. In the middle of a huge crater, that used to be the floor, a Death Eater and a really ugly dog-like monster stood. The Death Eater raised his hooded head and looked straight at her. "Die Ilyena Dhai'hava!" It hissed at her and then commanded the monster to go after her. She snarled her own challenge and pulled a dagger out of no where. Realizing she couldn't fight in her robes she magically changed them into a pair of black pants, a silver tank top and a pair of black combat boots. The students were amazed at her outfit and the now bared tattoo. Dumbledore suddenly remembered the prophecy made at her birth and wondered where that book Unknown Legends was. He would have to ask Madam Pince. The teachers started to raise their wands to stun the monster, when they felt their arms frozen. They could see the Sailor Scout Pluto there holding a staff shaped like a key. "This is a battle only she can fight." She told them.
Usagi felt a rush of adrenaline course through her veins and she felt ready to take on an army. Twisting out of the monsters line of attack she grinned and thrust her dagger into its side. She felt it shudder once and then it fell down, dead. She pulled out her dagger and faced the Death Eater. It raised its wand and shouted "Crucio!" Usagi grinned and held out her hands. A silver mist swirled in her hand. It shaped itself into a huge dragon and rushed toward the oncoming spell. It swallowed it instantly and then the dragon vanished. "We'll see how the magic of the dhai'hava fairs against your dark magic." Usagi said making it sound like a challenge. "Stupefy!" he called out. She dodged it and vanished into the shadows the walls cast. "See if you can find me!" Usagi's voice taunted the Death Eater. He snarled and sent another stun spell at one of the walls. "Missed." Came her taunting voice. Suddenly she appeared behind and sank one of her daggers into his side. Suddenly he shouted out, "Crucio!" The spell hit her square in the chest. She screamed in pain as he reached up and grabbed the dagger. He sank it into her chest. He held his hand to his wound and vanished.
Time seemed to freeze for an eternity for Snape. He saw Usagi scream in pain and saw the dagger sink into her side. He could feel her own pain and saw her collapse to the ground. Then he felt the spell on him release and he rushed with the other professors to her side. Somehow Madame Pomfrey arrived and shoved them aside. She quickly applied pressure to the wound and waited for the blood to clot. He looked up in anger at Sailor Pluto. Instead of worrying she looked at him and smiled. He looked at her in shock before she disappeared. Looking down at Usagi he saw her look back up at him and for a moment her eyes were devoid of pain. He swore he saw what looked like love. He shook it off, however, as her eyes clouded back over with pain. Madame Pomfrey then poured some kind of potion on her wound and waited until it closed up. "We better put her in the hospital wing for the night." Poppy announced. He heard her almost from a distance, but he quickly picked her up and headed for the hospital wing. Dumbledore smiled secretly and from the shadows three other hidden figures also smiled.
Malfoy looked stunned, but Harry was glaring at the way Snape took up his sister. Dumbledore fixed the crater and announced that the party was still going to continue. Slowly people started to drift back onto the dance floor. The five scouts looked up the stairs at the retreating form of Professor Snape. Minako stared in shock at the two as she saw that a beautiful gold ring surrounded the two. She had only seen that ring around Serenity and Endymion. Not even Usagi and Mamoru had that around them in the past. : Could he be the hime's true soulmate? : Minako wondered. Makoto, Rei, Amy and Hotaru all wondered the same thing. Makoto shook her head and went back to Harry. "Let's go dance. We can't do anything for her right now. We can go see her in the morning." Makoto said to Harry. Slowly he nodded and allowed her to lead him back to the dance floor.
Usagi's Dream Sequence
Usagi stood surrounded by a purplish mist. In the distance she could see the shadowy form of a huge gate. "Who goes there?" A voice demanded. "I am Usagi Alkyra." She replied. Suddenly a woman wearing a sailor suit and holding a staff shaped like a key stepped forward. : I know her : Usagi thought. : It is Sailor Pluto! : Usagi realized. "I see you recognize me." Sailor Pluto said amusedly. "What do you want with me?" Usagi asked suspiciously. "I am also your teacher Professor Meioh." She said wondering what her reaction would be. Usagi looked at her and then wondered if one of them was going crazy. Setsuna smiled amusedly. "I believe there are some things about your past that you'd like to know." She said. Usagi's head snapped up. "How did you know?" Usagi asked warily. "I stay in contact with your mother." Sailor Pluto said. "What do you know about my past?" Usagi asked almost pleadingly. Sailor Pluto smiled and swung her staff toward Usagi.
Usagi woke up in the hospital room soaked in a cold sweat. : How did I get in here? : She wondered. Then she remembered the Death Eater attack and how she had lost. "I can't believe I lost like that!" Usagi swore. Just then Madame Pomfrey swept in and glared at her. "Let me have a look at your wound." She demanded. Usagi had no choice but to relent. Madame Pomfrey's eyebrows rose. "Your wound is all healed. It shouldn't have healed that fast." She stated amazed. "Oh I heal fast." Was all Usagi said in reply. "Well, I suppose you're okay to leave." She stated still watching Usagi suspiciously. Usagi kicked off the covers and slipped on her boots that were at the foot of her bed. She smiled her thanks at Madame Pomfrey and headed out of the infirmary.
As she left the hospital wing she was deep in thought about what she had seen in her dream. Thus she was not paying attention where she was going and ran straight into Professor Snape. They both flew backwards. Professor Snape looked up in anger, but that quickly passed when he saw who he had crashed into. He got up and helped Usagi up. "Sorry, Professor." Usagi apologized. "That's twice now Tsukino." He growled mockingly. Usagi winced both in response to his teasing and to her own thought. "What are you doing out of the hospital wing already?" he asked. "My wound is healed so Madame Pomfrey let me go." Usagi replied. "Already?" he asked surprised. "Mhmm. I heal fast." She replied. He wanted to say something more but was at a loss for words. "I've got to go." Usagi said suddenly. As she turned to go he saw confusion and despair in her eyes. Did he also see a hint of love in her eyes? She quickly ran up the stairs towards the Gryffindor common room.
Professor Snape watched her go with sadness in his eyes. : She probably couldn't wait to get away from me. : he thought in anguish. : Then why did she look at you that way? : A tiny voice asked. He could find no response to the voice and turned to go back to his office. : What woman would want a greasy haired man like me? : he thought remorsefully as he made his way through the hallways. Severus ignored all the students in the halls and continued his depressing thoughts. However when he reached his office he found something that cheered him up immensely. It was a beautiful red rose with a small note attached to it. "It's not your fault." Was all it read. Instinctively he knew who wrote it.
Usagi stood just inside the common room and wondered why she had done that. She had used the famous assassin shadow move and raced ahead of Professor Snape to reach his office before him. Would he know who put it there though? Usagi wondered. She quietly made her way up to the dormitory and grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the showers. : Why would he even look at me in any other way than a professor and his student? : Usagi wondered as the burning hot water pounded down over her skin. Climbing out of the shower and standing in front of the mirror she tried to see herself as another might. However all she saw was the scars that crisscrossed her body. The ones from training and the ones from fights she had been involved in. She remembered the devotion to her master, his family, the gods and to the empire. : No man would want a woman who put those things before him. : Usagi thought suddenly. She felt like breaking down and crying. If that was the case she would remain unmarried for the rest of her life. Suddenly her iron will kicked in and she hardened her heart. "If that is the case then I will remain unmarried for the rest of my life." She said out loud and with conviction. She finished dressing and went down to the common room.
Most of the students were outside enjoying the last days of warmth before winter set in. Only Mayvar, Colana, Harry, Ron and Hermione were down there. "Usagi you're all right!" Harry exclaimed. She smiled gently at him. "Of course I'm fine. He just got an advantage for the moment and escaped before I could recover." She replied. "How about we play wizard's chess?" Ron suggested. "I'm not playing you." Harry shot back. "If you teach me I'll play." Usagi offered. "Deal." Ron agreed.
Meanwhile in a hidden deserted house Voldemort paced back and forth in front of a roaring fire. "Who is this girl that has interfered?" he demanded. Wormtail cowered, but answered, "According to Lucius she is the daughter of James and Lily Potter and the twin of Harry. She was sent away by Dumbledore and no one seems to know what happened to her. She just returned recently with five others." Voldemort suddenly stopped and a slow grin made its way onto his pale face. This just made Wormtail cringe even more. "I think she could be bent to my will and be used to get back at Potter." Voldemort said and laughed out loud.
In another place a mysterious being watched Voldemort unimpressed. "He has no idea that Usagi is so much more powerful than that." The being commented. "Should I send another monster after her?" a henchman asked. "No. For now I am content to watch this arrogant fool try to destroy the legendary Ilyena." The being answered. "I wish to know how he fares against the most powerful woman in the Shiana Empire." The being said. "Do you think he will win?" the henchman asked. "Against the boy maybe. But against the Ilyena? I highly doubt it." Was the being's response.
A/n: Well that's the end of that chapter. I will try to get more out but swim season starts tomorrow so that might be a little hard. Keep reviewing! Thanks to all who have reviewed.
