"Put her on the couch," said Tea as the group assembled in her apartment
shortly afterwards.
"Right," agreed Joe as he and Tristan set the unconscious Bunny on the couch.
"What could have happened?" asked Mai.
"You don't think she needs to go to the hospital?" asked Serenity.
"I think the better question is who is she?" asked Joe.
"I don't know, but she sure is cute," said Tristan.
"I guess we'll just have to ask her when she wakes up," said Yu-Gi.
"I still want to know what happened to her," said Mai.
"Look at this," said Tea as she pulled a crumpled rose from the girl's hands. "Maybe she had a fight with her boyfriend."
"If they fought like that.... I'd cream the kid!" exclaimed Joe, slamming one hand on an end table. "OW!" He started to dance in pain.
"Ugh," Bunny moaned.
"Quiet!" exclaimed Tristan. "She's waking up!"
Ugh....." she moaned again. Then she came to and sat bolt upright. "Darien!"
"The boyfriend?" asked Mai to Tea, but Tea just shrugged.
"Are you OK?" asked Yu-Gi.
Bunny looked around, her head and heart hurting. "I don't think so..... Where am I? What happened? Where are my friends?"
"Slow down," said Joe.
"Yeah, his brain can't take so much stimulation," replied Mai.
"It can too!"
"I bet you can't even spell stimulation," she countered.
"Um, that's Joe and Mai," said Yu-Gi, figuring introductions were best. "I'm Yu-Gi. This is Tea and then there's Tristan. And this is Joe's little sister Serenity."
"That's close to my name," said Bunny. "I'm Serena, but all my friends call me Bunny." With that causing her to remember to the fight, she started to cry.
"What's wrong?" asked Tristan.
"It's my friends....." she sobbed, unable to say more.
"Let her calm down," suggested Tea. The group backed up, giving Bunny spaced, pretending to be interested with the stuff in Tea's apartment.
"Let's get some lemonade," suggested Serenity. "That might make her feel better."
"OK, this way," said Tea as the two walked into the kitchenette.
"Here," said Mai as she pulled a tissue out of her purse and handed it to Bunny.
"Thanks," she said as she noisily blew her nose.
"Do you want to tell us what happened?" asked Yu-Gi.
Bunny knew she couldn't tell them everything, so she paused for a moment, trying to work out a believable story. "I was with my friends. This.....thing attacked us. It took them away and there was nothing I could do to save them." She started cry again. "I even lost my little sister and boyfriend...... And it stole the brooch that my mom gave me." She was crying too hard to talk again.
"Who did this!?" demanded Joe.
"I don't know," she sobbed.
"You mean you don't remember?" asked Tristan.
"No, I mean I don't know," she said.
It was quiet for a few moments, save her sobs. The Yu-Gi-Oh! cast was giving her time to calm down.
"Lemonade anyone?" asked Serenity as she walked in with Tea, each holding trays loaded with drinks.
"Sure."
"I'll take one."
"Me too." The drinks were quickly dispersed.
"Can you tell us more?" asked Yu-Gi, once again turning his attention to Bunny.
"I'm not sure of so much...." she stammered, drying her eyes. "My friends sacrificed themselves, so I could get away..... They held off that thing..... Oh, gosh, this is all my fault."
"Don't blame yourself," said Tristan. "Whatever that 'thing' did, you can't blame yourself for."
"But I let them all down," she said, quietly as she stared blankly at her lemonade cup.
"Who's missing?" asked Yu-Gi. "I mean, shouldn't we tell the police or something?"
"I..... I don't think that will help," stammered Bunny.
"Why not?" asked Mai.
"Because..... I don't think.... that thing was..... human," she stuttered, trying not to cry again.
"How can it not be human?!" demanded Joe, but Bunny didn't answer.
/Yami, does this have anything to do with the Millennial Items, or any kind of magic?/ asked Yu-Gi.
/I'm not sure..... There is something different about this girl..... But I do not sense the presence of a Millennial Item./
/I still think we should help her./
/That, I agree./
"What are the names of your friends?" repeated Serenity.
"Well, there was my four closest friends; Amy, Mina, Lita, and Raye," Bunny sighed, trying to keep her emotions out of this. "And my little sister, Rini. And Hotaru, but she is more Rini's friend than mine. Then there are my other friends. I really only just met them, but we are still really close; Setsuna, Michiru, and Haruka. And Darien, my boyfriend." She had to choke back tears on the last one.
"He gave you this rose?" asked Tea.
"Yes!" exclaimed Bunny as she snatched it back. She held it as if it was something precious.
"So what are you going to do?" asked Serenity.
"I....I.....I think I need to call home? Can I borrow your phone?" asked Bunny.
"Sure, over in the corner," pointed Tea. Bunny walked over.
"Do you think that is true? That.... ten of her friends were kidnapped?" asked Mai.
"Well, it does seem a bit farfetched," agreed Joe.
"But she is really upset," said Tristan, who glanced over at Bunny.
"Maybe they just stood her up?" suggested Tea.
"I think she is telling the truth," insisted Yu-Gi.
"You know what? So do I?" agreed Serenity.
On the phone....
"Hello? Anyone there?"
"Oh, hello Bunny," greeted Luna.
"Luna! Thank goodness! Your just the one I wanted to talk too!"
"Is it about the Sailor Scouts? None of our computers can track them."
"I know! We fought an enemy, it was a shadow, and it took them all. It even took the Imperium Silver Crystal!"
"This is serious...." muttered Luna.
"Listen, get Artemis and come here now! I need your help more than anything!"
"Where are you?"
"Um...." muttered Bunny. She turned her attention to the Yu-Gi-Oh! group. "Where am I? Um...... my house-sitter wants to know." Tea gave her the address.
"Hear that?" asked Bunny.
"Yeah, we'll come as soon as we can," said Luna as they hung up.
Bunny leaned against the wall and sighed.
"Did you find out what you wanted to know?" asked Tristan.
"Yeah......"
"Cheer up!" said Serenity.
"Why?"
"Because we just decided to help you get your friends back!" added Joe.
"Really?!"
"Of course!" exclaimed Tristan. "We'll protect you. And besides, we know the area pretty well, after that Battle City and everything."
"Thanks!" exclaimed Bunny, even though she was nervous. She knew the situation. Would they be able to handle it? But she didn't want to be alone. And without the Imperium Crystal, she needed a lot of help.
"You know, we should call Bakura," suggested Joe. "He could help."
"Assuming he stays in control, if you know what I mean," replied Tristan.
"Well, before we begin, I need to head back to my apartment," said Mai.
"Why? To freshen up?" teased Joe.
"No, I need to find Shayla. I know she'll help too," answered Mai, glaring Joe down. Serenity giggled at this.
"Thanks," said Bunny, truly thankful about their efforts. But these teens dealing with that enemy was a completely different story.
AN/ Wow! I really have energetic reviewers for this fic! Wow! And that's a good thing! Thank y'all for your positive support. That means quicker updates. Um.... stuff to know..... If y'all want to know about Shayla, read Shayla's Story, 'cause she is going to be getting involved her really soon. Second, I love suggestions, so don't hesitate. The pairing have been especially interesting. I'll probably use those in my other Yu-Gi- Oh!/Sailor Moon crossover, Candle in the Darkness. Namely, because this fic isn't going to have too much romance. But Candle in the Darkness will have a lot of romance. Is that OK with y'all? I think that's all for now. And, as always, please read, review, and enjoy! (
