Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, I do own this story line however. Enjoy!!!
Chapter Six:
Mina, Lita, Ami, Rei, and Serena were escorted by several guards to another room. This one contained five tattoo benches and six very scary men. Each girl was led to a bench and strapped down on their stomach, their hair pulled back to reveal their necks.
"Welcome ladies," the scariest man of all spoke, "I am Diamond, as you know, and you are my slaves."
"We are no ones slaves!" shot Rei, fire burning in her eyes.
"I'm going to ignore that for now my pet," he shot back, "but in the future I advise you to be more cooperative. You may proceed gentlemen."
The other five men, tattoo artists, began their work, cleaning each girl's neck and applying a transfer, to guarantee that each mark was correct. As they prepared the needles, Serena's soft crying turned to violent thrashing.
"I HATE NEEDLES!" she screamed, squirming as much as possible and not allowing the artist anywhere near her.
"I thought this might happen," Diamond sighed. He motioned with his hand and a drug laced rag was held over Serena's face. She fell into a deep sleep that the other girls also entered when they too were sedated. -------------------------------
Darien slowly dialed the phone number he knew by heart, with each press of a button his thoughts turned to Serena and the pain he knew she must be in. He listened to the phone on the other end ring five times before he heard a soft click.
"Darien."
"I need your help."
"I know. I hope you are prepared to make a sacrifice. And this time you shall pay dearly."
"What do you require."
"Blood for blood has always been my way. Do you agree to the terms?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Very well, it shall be done."
Darien quietly replaced the receiver into it's cradle. He sat there for several minutes, the sound of Jadeite torturing the traitors echoing in the background. As he stood to leave the room he scooped up the quivering puppy at his feet and was surprised when it licked his cheek, washing away a solitary tear.
---------------------
Ami was the first to wake up. Her head spun and her neck was stinging.
"..Mina.
..Lita.
..Rei.
....Serena?"
"Shhh, it's alright," comforted Molly, she gently applied a cool cloth to Ami's forehead. "Don't try and talk right now, the sedative hasn't completely worn off."
Ami began to cry, "Has...has he, you know...?"
"No, no sweety, not yet, they did mark you though..."
"When will he?"
"Shortly my dear," came a sickly sweet voice.
Molly instantly dropped into a low curtsey, mumbling apologies and praises to her lord. Ami turned an even sicker shade of gray-green than she had previously.
"Yes yes, that's fine. You may leave Molly," Diamond waved his hand at his cousin and she promptly left the room at a scurry. "As I was saying Kitten, I don't think I will be able to wait much longer now that you are all mine. I was having difficulty deciding who would be first but since you are the only one awake I guess you get the honor."
For the first time in her shy life Ami's eyes filled with fire, liquid fire, "Do what you want with me, I can't stop you, but don't you ever...EVER call me Kitten again!!!"
Smugly Diamond jerked her from the cot she was lying on and pushed her onto a bed. He kissed her roughly and dug his nails into her thighs as he pushed them apart.
"Mr.Diamond Sir!!!" shouted a voice from the door, "she-she-she's back!"
Furious at the intrusion Diamond whipped out his pistol and shot the messenger in the knee before asking him for the message.
"Ahhh, oh God, I'm sorry Sir, I'm so sorry. She said she would kill me sir....I'm so sorry," but he couldn't finish his sentence because yet another bullet ripped through his head, he fell to the floor instantly.
"Hello Pixie Dust," an icy female voice called out.
"MY NAME IS NOT PIXI DUST!!!!" cried an astonished Diamond.
"Awww, is the little fairy mad 'cause big sis' is home? Or are you mad because I caught you with your pants down?"
"What do you want Beryl?"
"An apology."
"For what? I have nothing to apologize for."
"For you being born! Oh, you can't apologize for that? Well I guess I'll just have to remedy the problem."
Before Diamond could fire his own weapon it was shot from his hand, blood seeping from his fingers.
"NO, wait!!! You can't do this! I'm a better shot than you, that's why you left."
"You're right, I left and for five years I've been training with monks in Taiwan. And now I am better than you."
Beryl fired again, a blow to his forehead which left him dead on the floor, carrying a still shocked face.

Sorry this is so short everybody. I figured I just needed to get something out there since it's been so long and I need to clear up my writers block. Thank you all so much for being supportive. Marching band season is almost over (this is the last week!) so I should have more time to write after this. I'm also thinking of another story idea so keep an eye out for that.
