CHAPTER FIFTEEN

" Hey Serena did Amaura tell you about the scout meeting in Michelle's room?" asked Rini as Serena sat own at the table the scouts were sitting at.

" Yeah, oh man I'm starving," said Serena as she started slurping down meso soup and noodles. Rini just stared at Serena's eating method in disgust.

" Eww, something's never change do they?" asked Rini suddenly getting a brilliant idea by her standards. The other girls knew Rini was up to something because she had that mischievous look on her face. Serena would have noticed it too had she'd been watching Rini.

" Since you like school food that much why don't you dunk your head in it," said Rini as she quickly thrust Serena's face into her meso soup. The scouts couldn't help but laugh as Serena gurgled in her soup as her arms windmilled beside her.

When Serena was finally able to re-emerge her head from the meso soup her face was covered with it. Rini's laughing smirk instantly fell of her face as Serena glared at her, meso soup dripping from her face. Serena's face was so red you could have boiled eggs on it, her soup was already boiling.

" Uh oh," said Rei instantly ducking underneath the table the other girls thought it was a good idea because they all joined her leaving rini alone.

" You little piglet I'm gonna kill you," growled Serena grabbing Rini before she could escape and flung her into Rini's sushi tray. "Any last requests?" asked Serena.

" Um could I have some soy sauce on my sushi before you cram it down my throat?" asked Rini quaking in fear. Serena just blinked and looked at Rini before cracking up.

Serena let go of Rini and sat down laughing leaving Rini and the other girls puzzled.

First she nearly beats Amaura in track now she doesn't cream Rini, she must really be sick, thought Lita as she watched Serena laugh. Slowly the girls sat back on their seats and began to eat. Serena started wiping her face off with her napkin.

"Guys you won't believe what nearly happened in P.E. today," said Lita.

"What did she nearly kill herself jumping over a hurdle?" asked Rei earning a glare from Serena who stuck also stuck out her tongue.

"No, she almost Amaura in track," said Ryoko. Rei dropped her fork, Mina nearly fell to the floor, and Ami just looked up from her.

"Come again," said Rei looking at Lita and Ryoko.

"You heard me," said Ryoko. " It was awesome,"

"Yeah on her fourth lap Serena tripped on her feet and fell," said Lita. "Then she got up and started sprinting, she was running faster than I've ever seen her. Then on her last Amaura raced her for half the lap the girls were completely neck to neck until Amaura pulled but even then Serena managed to stay two steps behind her,"

"Wow, Serena I didn't know you were capable of running that fast," said Rei looking at Serena in awe.

"That just goes to show you that I can do things," said Serena who was slurping her noodles.

"How did you manage to run that fast?" asked Ami closing her book.

"I don't know," said Serena leaning back in her chair and looking at the ceiling of the cafeteria. "I was just thinking about all the things that have happened over the past four days and the more I thought about it the angrier I got,"

"Hmm, it sounds like when you angry you get faster," said Ami. "Adrenaline and anger can do that to a person."

"Hey guys," said Michelle from behind the group. "I heard about your race with Amaura Serena, and I must say I'm impressed," said Michelle.

"Thank you," said Serena getting up from the table. "Is it time for the meeting already?"

"Yes," said Michelle walking away from the group.

"Do you know what it's about?" asked Mina as the scouts followed Michelle.

"Ite has brought some very disturbing news to our attention other than disturbing news I don't know," said Michelle as they found their way to her class room. There Amaura, Trista, Hotaru, and Ite and co. were waiting for them.

"Okay so what's the news?" asked Rei as she looked at the grim faces of Ite, Shinsetsu, and Ikari.

"There may be a traitor in our midst," said Ite. As soon as those words were out everyone looked at everyone. Trista's briefly glanced at someone and caught a minute flash in the girl's eyes. Trista made a mental note in her brain to follow them.

"A traitor?" asked Mina. " How we all know each other and we're all scouts."

"I know but my suspicions were greatly aroused today when a couple of Erinyes showed up at our apartment." Said Ite. "Only you guys know where we live,"

"Could it be possible that they were following you?" asked Ami

"No, I always know when I'm followed and plus these guys were waiting for us," said Ite.

"Well then we'll all have to be on alert," said Serena. She knew that each of the inner and outer scouts were innocent but still there was still something nagging on her.

"Alright," said Ite getting up before disappearing into air followed by Shinsetsu and Ikari.

"I wonder who could be the cause for the Erinyes?" asked Mina.

"We know it isn't any of us," said Ryoko.

"Sai," said Lita. "You all saw that smug look he had on his face this morning,"

"Maybe," said Ami. "But he might have had help,"

"Let's keep an eye on him," said Rei as the other girls nodded and left the room.

"Hey Serena, did you ever visit Darien yesterday?" asked Ami as the girls walked towards Rei's house for study buddies.

"Eventually," said Serena. "Darien's condition still hasn't changed."

"Can we go visit him today?" asked Mina.

"You just want to visit him because of that Dr. Kosaka," said Rini.

"Can you blame me? He is hot!' said Mina.

"Mina any guy to you is hot," said Rei.

"You guys are welcome to come," said Serena smiling.

"Alright," said Mina pumping a fist in the air. "Now onward to the hospital!"
