A/N: Okay here's the next chapter of Fairy Tales and yes I do realise that it took a day longer than forever to come out but ,it's here now. I have decided to be a Biatch with a capital B and put my other story 'In those eyes' on hiatus until this story is done and dusted. *Smiles apologetically*, sorry if you hate me for doing that but, get over it. ^_~

Damsel in Distress
He watched them.
Jadeite watched the couple as they sat in a comfortable silence, Trowa's arm strewn lazily across Rei's shoulders. This was becoming a regular activity and it was getting old. His eyes tired of watching something that wasn't his.
It was kind of like those guys who go to car shows, practically drooling over cars they would never own. He was tired of being that loser that stood there with his can of beer and a hot dog stained shirt, it was his turn to be the big-shot, to ride in the big body Mercedes, now it was time to take action, claim what was his. He grinned a toothy grin, oh yeah this was gonna be fun.

The park was a vision of tranquillity as the sun began it's quiet descent into the abyss of its bed. This was the perfect Kodak moment.
Naturally something had to happen to ruin it, in this case it was a monstrous explosion. Hot oranges and reds sprang heftily from the source in a kaleidoscope of colours as passers by shrieked from justified surprise. Rei and Trowa's eyes snapped up at the untimely disturbance trying to see through the thick smoke which clouded their vision.
Emerging from the warm swirling mist was a gruesomely ugly creature with red and black scaled skin, yellow cat like eyes and an unruly black mane that hung loosely around it's neck. It was wearing a skanky black leather outfit that seemed to only cover the bare essentials.
Stalking towards the stunned pair with surprising grace, it smiled as countless people either quivered or screamed at it's presence. The ogre had no mercy for those standing in it's way. A young woman, who was unfortunate enough to be near it, was grabbed gruffly by her lengthy hair and was strangled to death by her own long brown tresses, screaming silently all the time. It's demonic eyes held a manic sparkle of delight as it watched the females eyes roll to the back of her head before she dropped lifelessly to it's three toed feet. It kicked her aside, bored now that she had died.
Rei and Trowa sprang to their feet at the sight, their moment of peace forgotten. They dropped into fighting stances prepared to kick whatever disturbed them's ass.
Trowa flipped out a gun which was holstered in the waist band of his trousers and clicked of the safety. Determined to make the monster eat led he emptied the clip in a matter of seconds and watched with slight interest as the bullets bounced of it's skin.
He smirked, 'guns are out of the question,' Trowa silently placed the gun back in his trousers waistband.

Rei rolled her violet eyes, "Yay!" she began dryly, " I get to kick some random, but-ugly, bullet-proof demons ass." She mumbled trying to find a scarcely populated area to transform.
"Hu- frickin'-ray!"

Trowa looked at the creature he'd affectionately named Betsy for lack of anything better to call it. He stood alone knowing that Rei had gone somewhere to transform.
Shaking his head at Betsy he noted the way limitless people's blood dripped down her scaled arm, it looked like something out of a really good horror movie, the blood forming a grotesque pool of blood on the concrete path. Betsy was watching him with interest, a very creepy, stalker type interest.
He dropped into a fighting stance and watched as Betsy followed suit, he knew this was going to be one heck of a fight.

Trowa ran a tired and battered hand over his face and tried to get up, he felt like an eighteen wheeler had decided to run over his head. Repeatedly.
His surroundings came to him in a sudden and unappreciated rush of colour, he looked hazily around him. He definitely wasn't at his apartment, he wasn't even in the temple. The walls of the room were a pristine white and the place smelled like someone had gone overboard with disinfectant. He groaned, he was in a hospital, the last thing he remembered was being at the park with Rei and…Betsy. That tid-bit of information set of a tsunami of anxiety throughout his being.
Where was Rei?
He stood up and immediately regretting the action as his head seemed to spin. Sitting back down on the lumpy hospital bed he noticed for the first time he wasn't the only one in the room, sitting on the only chair in the room was Makoto. She looked at him the worry apparent on her delicate features, "Trowa-san are you okay?"
He nodded his head, even though the motion made him feel sick, "Hai, I'm fine, do you know where Rei is?"
He looked towards the wooden door of the room praying she was right outside. Or even in another ward, as long as he could be with her soon.
After a period of silence he turned to face Makoto and the pained look on her face said it all, something was wrong.
"What is it Mako? what happened to Rei?" Panic etched in his normally serene voice. His eyes growing wide. He gripped the bed fearing what she was about to say.
She hesitated knowing exactly what these words would do to him, "She's missing."
It was with that, that little statement that his nightmare began.
