Chapter Four Tuesday, Tsukino Residence, 1:43pm
Knock, Knock, Knock
"Usagi?" Ikuko Tsukino asked while knocking on Usagi's Door.
"Honey you know you can't stay in your room forever. Tell me what's wrong." She pleaded.
Usagi rolled over on her bed staring at the ceiling. She stayed home for almost a week and was in her room the whole time, hardly eating or doing anything. Many times had her mother asked what was wrong without receiving an answer. Nothing mattered in her life now, the one thing she cared about most was gone.
Suddenly, she heard a creaking sound. She jumped as she saw a small black cat with a crescent moon on its forehead. It was standing at the foot of her bed.
"L-Luna," Usagi's voice was raspy, "How did you-"
"I came in through the window," Luna interrupted her, "But that's besides the point. I'm worried about you Usagi. Everybody is. What happened at the airport?"
Usagi didn't look to well at all. Her golden hair was tangled and messy. Dry tears clung to her cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy.
She sniffed, "Well...While I was waiting *Sniff* for the plane.... someone announced...that...that the flight didn't make it." Tears started flowing down her cheeks, "He's dead."
"Usagi..." Luna sounded very concerned, "I'm so sorry."
Usagi was burying her face in an already soaked pillow.
"H-how...could this happen?" Luna asked quietly to herself.
"I don't know!! I don't know!!!" She cried as even more tears came out, "I might as well die! I don't care about anything else! Nothing matters in my life anymore!"
Luna looked hurt, "You can't possibly mean that can you?" Usagi lifted her head realizing what she had just said. "We love you Usagi! We don't want you to just let go. It's going to be hard without Mamoru, but you can't give up! The world needs you Usagi! We need you." Tears were welling up in Luna's eyes.
"Oh, Luna!" Usagi cried hugging her crying cat.
"Should I tell the others?' Luna asked a few minutes later.
Usagi shook her head, "No I'll tell them." She said, her voice still a little raspy, " I can't just waste away in my room forever now can I?" She finished with a little bit of a forced smile.

2:51pm
After having a quick talk with her mother about exactly what happened at the airport, Usagi, with Luna in her arms, was walking to the Hikawa Shrine. Her mother had listened very intently to her daughter's words. Mrs. Tsukino at first objected to her leaving, but Usagi told her she needed fresh air.
It was strange, how quickly she had gotten over Mamoru's death. Don't get her wrong, it's just that after speaking with Luna and her mother she felt slightly better. She had spent five whole days in her room, eating very little. But she felt she still needed to talk to her fellow senshi before could feel completely better.
After five minutes the two made it to the shrine. Luna had earlier called the others telling them that Usagi needed to talk to them.
Sliding open the door to the shrine, she greeted the others, "Konnichiwa, minna," Upon hearing their leader's voice, the four girls darted up asking a million questions at once. Usagi started to get a little annoyed.
"Hold it! Let me explain without having to be asked too many questions." The girls sat back down on the floor while Usagi told them everything. Starting from driving to the airport to hearing what happened to her now dead boyfriend. Surprisingly, they didn't interrupt her. A few tears started forming in Usagi's eyes when she finished.
No one said anything. They appeared to be too shocked for words. Artemis was the first to break the silence,
"What will happen to the future? To Chibi-Usa?" That was a question that seemed to be on everyone's minds. Usagi had long thought of what could happen.
"With Mamoru dead who knows what could happen," Rei said.
"Usagi, I can't imagine what you're going through right now," Minako stared sympathetically at her.
"Are you going to be alright? If not then just say so," Makoto asked worriedly, knowing how sensitive Usagi could be at times.
"You don't have to worry about me you guys. Even though Mamo-chan's not here, I won't give up on life. As long as you're all with me, I'll manage." She gave them a reassuring smile. They smiled back at her.
Ami, who hasn't said anything, was thinking about what Usagi said earlier. Then finally she asked, " Usagi, did you say that four other planes exploded nearly at the same time as Mamoru's?" Everyone stared at Ami then at Usagi.
"Yeah, that's what the person speaking through the intercom said." She replied.
"Don't you think that's odd? Five planes exploding almost at the exact same time?" They all nodded except Minako.
"What are you getting at, Ami?" She asked confused. (A/N: Total blond moment!) Everyone sweatdropped.

The Three Lights apartment, 3:03pm
Seiya was sitting on the couch in the living room, strumming his guitar. Taiki was in the other room calling the high school to tell them they will be going back. Yaten was on the couch next to Seiya, complaining about having all those annoying fangirls again *shudders*. Seiya was sooo bored. He was hoping he could get to see his Odango right away, but Taiki insisted they should get situated first before doing anything else.
"We go to school Thursday," Taiki said, coming back from the other room and taking a seat in an overstuffed armchair.
Yaten groaned, "That soon? We just got here a few days ago!"
"Actually we've been here almost a week," He corrected him.
Seiya continued strumming his guitar but then put it down, "I'm going on a walk." He got up grabbed his coat from the coat rack and was gone before the other two could respond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi left the Hikawa Shrine to go on a walk by herself. Sighing she thought, 'I feel so alone....something is missing in my life...' She continued to walk aimlessly down the sidewalk, caught up in her own thoughts. She was so caught up she didn't even notice the raven-haired person she was about to bump into.
"Itai!!" Usagi shouted, falling on the hard cement.
"Gomen nasai! I wasn't looking where I was going and......." He stopped in mid-sentence, "Odango?"
She knew that voice! Only one person called her Odango! She slowly looked up in anticipation and saw.....
A/N Okay that's where this chapter ends. What a great place to end a chapter ^-^ JUST KIDDING!!! I'm not that mean!
"Seiya!!!!" Tears were pouring out of her eyes as she jumped up to hug him, almost knocking him down. He squeezed her tightly, never wanting to let go. It felt so good! Just being near her, holding her, taking in her mesmerizing scent was just so wonderful.
He was a bit disappointed when she let go of him.
"I'm so glad you're here!!" Usagi smiled at him. He was about to say something when there was a scream. They looked at each other and nodded.
"FIGHTER STAR POWER! MAKE-UP!"
"MOON ETERNAL! MAKE-UP!"
Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Star Fighter were rushing to where they had heard the scream. They stopped and found the source. In front of them was a tall man who had cornered a girl in an alleyway. He had long lavender hair that went down to his waist. Ice cold teal eyes and hints of freckles were on his nose. He was wearing a black vest and white baggy pants with plain black shoes.
"Give me your soul, girl!" He ordered the terrified girl.
"STOP!!"
"Nani?!" The man turned to the owner of the voice.
"Cornering girls in dark alleyways is not right buster! I fight for love and justice, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon!"
"And also Sailor Star Fighter!" Sailor Moon does her hand motions, "And in the name of the Moon I shall punish you!"
"Don't forget us!" The rest of the inners and starlights arrived each saying their name. 'Must have heard the scream, too,' Fighter thought.
"Well if we are doing introductions allow me to introduce myself," He crosses his arms, "I am head of Queen Morcta's army, Gothfrey." he smirked, "Actually what's the point there's nothing you weak little girls can do."
"Weak?!" Jupiter repeated. She screamed oak evolution at him but it just bounced off, "What! That was my strongest attack!"
"I'm afraid you're a little too late to save this girl now," The skin on his hands suddenly melted away to reveal gleaming, sharp, metallic claws. In the blink of an eye he stabbed her in the stomach. The senshi gasped when he pulled out a misty, glowing sphere. His hands grew skin again and he observed it, but then scowled.
"Shimatta! This isn't it!" He growled and sighed, "Oh well, Juuan kill them." With that he disappeared through a black portal. The girl was suddenly enveloped in a black fog and was replaced by a woman that looked like a mix of a fox and a demented clown. The senshi quickly got into their defensive stances.
"Canon-ball!" The fox/clown girl yelled and a bolder formed in her hands.
"Star Serious Laser!"
"Venus! Love and Beauty Shock!"
She easily dodged those attacks and threw the bolder at Sailor Moon.
"Ruby Moon Fury!!" Multiple red beams hit the bolder breaking it into tiny pieces.
The senshi turned their heads at the source of the attack. What they saw seemed to shock them the most of all today. A little girl, about eleven or twelve, in a blood red fuku was holding a wand (similar to Chibi-Moon's but red with a moon on top instead of a heart). Her hair was raven black and was done up in a bun with the rest of her hair streaming from it. She also had crystal blue eyes.
The fox/clown girl, however, was done staring.
"Canon-ball!!" She aimed it at the new girl who dodged it.
"Ruby Moon Fury!!" The girl screamed. The fox/clown girl was covered in a red light and changed back into that helpless girl. The small glowing sphere re-entered her body.
Panting, the new girl collapsed and fainted. The senshi were rendered speechless.
A/N So how'd you like this chapter? Hmmm? I know this chapter is probably confusing but all shall be explained in later chapters. Review if you want to find out who that girl is. I want at least 7 more reviews before I post the next chapter!
