Author's Note: ^_^ THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS!! ^_____________^ You all are soooo nice!! I can't believe my fic is that good! I mean I just updated my last chapter on Serena on March 29-03 and when I came back on March 30 I was just like OMG!! That's soooooo many reviews! I had like ten more reviews. In one day!!!!!! O_O Thank you all! AND OH DAMIA! I absolutely LOVED that saying you reviewed in for me! It was sooo beautiful! And sooo true!
Ok and here's what for you! About the couplings! ^_^ A lot of you want it to be a Hiiro/Serena fic.. Well maybe it'll be the two of them. But you'll just have to wait and see!
Chapter 10:
Amy's blue eyes glistened with tears as she sat on Rei's bed, listening to the inspector talk to Grandpa. "Now young lady, can you please tell me everything you can about Rei, is she a good school student, what's her personality like. Does she have any reason to run-away? Is it possible that she would have any enemies?" Amy sat numb, and shook her head, "Rei's - a - good. - good person. everyone loves her.. I.. Oh and don't know why anyone would want to hurt her! She didn't have real enemies..-"
Mina was sitting down next to the door, where she had dropped at the first sight of the burned remains of her friend. 'This can't be happening." Lita was drinking some tea, and talking with inspectors, telling them all she could about her friend. As the daylight shrank to give way to starlight, the inspectors told the girls to go home, get some sleep and that if any thing turns up on their two lost friends that they'd be informed.
Trudging, the girls left the shrine, tears flowing down their cheeks. "This isn't right! Something's not right!" Lita's angry words flowed from her mouth, as a waterfall over a cliff. "Serena and Rei both missing.- I. can't make sense of any of the this!" Amy's usually calm voice cracked with emotion. "Lets just go home.- I don't have any more energy." Mina's voice was monotonous, the only emotion heard was sheer weariness. 'I can't be a leader when my crew is disappearing on me! WHAT DO I DO!!?"
From down the street a mop of green hair was waving shrilly in the air, fluttering around the womanly figure. She was running towards the scouts, and when she was within earshot, she called to them. "AMY, MINA, LITA!! WAIT! WHAT'S HAPPENED?" Amy, Mina and Lita all froze, stunned to see the sailor scout of time sprinting towards them. A gasping Setsuna stopped in front of them. "THIS IS BAD! NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!" Amy was the first to regain her voice, "Setsuna! What are you-" "NO time for that! I heard that Rei had gone missing! This isn't possible! The timelines never read that!"
"Are you telling me that Rei disappeared, and she wasn't SUPPOSED TO?" Lita's now hysterical voice echoed down the deserted streets. "Yes." "And what about Serena?" "I know where Serena is, I just can't tell you. it's a test." Mina frowned. 'Rei had been telling me something.about Setsuna. I- don't remember..-"Setsuna looked from one girl to the next, a frown on her face. 'None of them know where either girls are..- that's to my advantage with Serena.-but Rei?"
Mina was glum looking, "Lets get home. tomorrow we can get together as Sailor Scouts." Now it was Setsuna's turn to be speechless. "You're not going to search for her now?" "Them- and no- we can't- I don't have the energy. and the Negaverse have got to be mixed up in this!" The strength in her voice came with newfound hope, "We're going to find the Mars and Our Princess! Even if we have to die trying!" With that said, Mina nodded at Setsuna and started down her street, her steps now more then shuffles. The other scouts whispered their agreement, and they too left; leaving a baffled Setsuna behind them.
Amy took a deep breath she was safe in her apartment, both of her parents had left. As she walked the soft brown carpet beneath her feet soothed her, the quiet dripping of the faucet also calmed her. 'My home' She was garbed in a beautiful nightdress of crystal blue, which fluttered around her like a princess' gown. Her hair was loose slipping around her shoulders as she padded quiet as a mouse to her kitchen. 'Tea- that sounds nice' Once there she fixed herself some herbal tea, 'to calm my soul'
A dripping sound from her bedroom echoed through the semi-quiet house. "huh!?" Amy gasped out loud, then scolded herself. "It's just the faucet Amy- get a grip!" Amy talked aloud to ease her fears, as she cautiously stepped out of the kitchen, and into the family room. Peering around as she tiptoed to her bedroom she gave a soft sigh of relief, when she realized that it was merely the faucet in her bathroom that was dripping.
Stepping calmly into her room, which adjoined her personal bathroom, Amy glanced around her all blue and white bedroom. In the center of her room was a carpet that had the sign for water and mercury on it; it was the softest of blue though course to the touch. Her bed had a blue quilt over top of the white sheets and her mixture of blues and white pillowcases gave her room a more icy touch than a homey one. Along one side lay her bureau, a medium sized clean mirror hung over it. On top of it lay her books and perfumes. Hooked on the mirror were various photographs, mostly of her and the scouts.
Forgetting for a few minutes the dripping in her bathroom, Amy meandered up to the bureau, her eyes locked onto one picture. On the picture was a scene from Rei's shrine, Rei was pulling on Serena trying to get her to stop fighting with the pink haired 8 year old beside her. One Rei's left side sat a laughing Lita, and on the other side of the pink haired child sat a laughing Mina. Sitting on the steps further up sat an amused and exasperated Amy, and beside her was a grinning black haired child of nine. The pink haired girl was sticking her tongue out at Serena, her red eyes twinkling with mischief. Rei was mad as a cat that was dumped in water, and Lita and Mina looked as if they were about to die laughing.
Amy could feel her tears running down her face, and dripping off her chin. Her two best friends were gone, and Rini, the pink haired child had long gone back to crystal Tokyo of the future. Hotaru was with the outer scouts, and they had only just left town to college about a week ago. Now there were only three of them left, where were the others? 'Rei-Serena. I swear upon my soul that I WILL FIND YOU TWO!' Her heart beat rapidly as she dried her tears with the back of her hand. Lifting her chin she stared defiantly at the picture, "And I dare anyone to stop me!" This she said aloud, halfway daring any unknown watchers to stand in her way.
All at once the sound of rushing water, sent Amy scurrying into her bathroom, and the sight that greeted her was enough to send even the calmest of people into a shock. Her bathroom was also a genuine blue color, dolphins lined the walls, and some miniature blue umbrellas sat on the sink. Her bathroom had a beach like feeling to it, and as if to accentuate that feeling, Amy had pictures of her and all of the scouts, inners, outers and young scouts scattered carefully around the room.
But now her eyes didn't rest on the pictures of them, instead it was on her bathtub, which was half filled with water. Hurrying over to it, she ignored her impending feeling of dread, and shut the faucet off, pulling the drain plug with a sharp jerk. Her breathing was labored and she sent a frightened glanced around the bathroom. Her hand was dripping wet with cold water, and then all at once it started to burn hot. "AHHHHHHH" Amy let out a sharp scared cry as she swung her hand around in an attempt to dry and cool it off.
She stumbled towards her door, searching for a towel with which to wrap her burned hand in. As she reached the door, it slammed shut with a fierce bang, and Amy cried startled. The faucet began to run again, but this time it was both her sink and her tub faucet. As the water ran onto her floor, with a desperate and petrified Amy clawing and yanking at her door, it began to run hot. So hot was the water that it began to steam. 'I'm gonna die!' Amy's thoughts raced out of control, blinding her with fear. So terrified was she that she forgot she could have easily transformed into Sailor Mercury and been out of the room.
Finally she gave up clawing wildly at the door, and whirled around, the water had now reached her ankles and she could feel the extreme heat of the boiling water, but oddly enough it didn't burn her feet. As the steam raised clouding her vision, and nearly suffocating her, Amy jumped. In the fog like steam she could just make out a figure in the smoke. "SE--" But the words were drowned out as the steam began to hiss, and the running water poured over her calves. Amy couldn't dwell on the person that she had seen before her, since it had disappeared in the rising steam, instead she turned to her now swimming pool of a bathroom.
Wading towards the bathtub, Amy could hardly manage the movement, her breath rasped out as she fought to get her bathroom turned back into a bathroom. 'Finally!' Amy reached the tub and grabbed a hold of the handle, and turned it. However it didn't do anything but make more water come tumbling out of the tub, now her knees were covered in the flowing water. "NOOO!!!" She turned the handle the other way, and still more water came pouring forth. "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" She wailed in desperation, "PLEASE! STOP FLOWING!" Her nightdress was moist from the steam on top and soaking wet with hot water up to her thighs.
'There's no way to shut if off!' Amy backed away, the water had slowly risen to her waist, and now panic had ebbed its' way in. 'I'm gonna drown!' Half swimming half wading to her sink, she once again tried the handles, this time the water didn't do anything, it just continued to flow in the same rate. By now the water had traveled past her stomach, and was making its way to her chest and neck. Amy caught sight of her recently forgotten window, and she made a mad swim for it. 'I am the best swimmer in this school, I'm not going to drown in my bathroom!' Amy scrambled to get a good grip on the window, and she shoved upwards. Nothing happened; the window was jammed, and by now the water was past her chest, forcing her to thread the water. Than in realization, Amy gasped, "I'M SOOOOO DUMB!" With gusto she took a breath, preparing herself for the sinking that would take place when she stopped swimming. "MERCURY STAR--------" "OHHHH NOOOO" All at once the still flowing water grabbed at her Mercury wand, sinking it in fury. Amy was now floating higher, her head bumping into the roof of the bathroom.
Fighting for breath, she began to slowly panic, the water started to close in around her, she took a final breath as it locked her off from air. With an anguished expression, she swam to the door and once again tried to fight it open, but to no avail. The water was still steaming, strangely enough, and as she floated backwards her vision started to cloud over. Amy sank to the bottom of the bathroom turned swimming pool, unconscious to anyone who had been watching.
The click of a door seemed to echo in the bathroom, "Amy, where are you dear?" "Shhh hear that? She must be taking a bath." "This late at night?" "She's your daughter." "Hmmm.Amy? Amy- Well when you want something to eat, just come on out, Hun. We've brought some take-out." Amy's parents had returned from their work, and by now it was 10 at night.
The water in the bathroom slowly began to recede, bubbles flittered here and there as the sink and bathtub reclaimed what they had spew up. As the water receded, the faucets turned off. The door unlocked quietly, and all that was left of the swimming pool was a damp carpet and wet nightclothes.
"Amy? Are you finished dear? Amy?--" Amy's mother walked into her room, and seeing the cup of tea, still half full on her dresser, she frowned. 'That isn't like Amy, she usually drinks all of what she takes. Hmmm-' Walking quietly she noticed that Amy's bed was still neatly made, 'Guess she didn't feel like sleeping.didn't even touch her bed.' "Amy? Are you in there? Amy?" Remembering the disappearances of the two teenaged girls, Mrs. Mitsui was beginning to get anxious. "Amy? Now don't play games dear, you're making me nervous!" Automatically her hand went to the doorknob, which instantly shifted beneath her now shaking fingers.
'That's funny, Amy never leaves her bathroom door open if she's in there.' "Amy?" With a shaking hand, she opened the door to her only daughter's bathroom, and got the start of her life. Her carpet was soaking wet, the sink was wet all over, the bathtub was just dripping over, and in the middle of it all was Amy's nightgown, the gown her grandmother had given her before she died. Mrs. Mitsui immediately found her heart pounding in her chest, her hand had gone to her mouth to stifle the yelp of surprise. She took a cautious step inside, and was greeted by a fresh puddle of water at her feet.
Jumping back out, Amy's mother ran back into her room, where her husband was going through some of his cases. Looking up, he was met by a frantic mother. "Amy's gone!" It didn't take more than a millisecond for him to understand what his wife was saying, and in that time he had jumped up and was trying to calm the now hysterical mother. "Calm down, could she have heard something from a friend? About Rei and Serena?" Forcing herself to calm down, Mrs. Mitsui forced her trembling hand to be calm enough to call Mina and Lita's houses.
"Hello, Lita? I'm sorry if I woke you. But do you know if Amy went anywhere. The police maybe? Oh no? She didn't call you or anything? Well she's not here. I have to go now, good night Lita." She looked up at her husband, her eyes begging him to tell her that her daughter was just playing a joke on her. Swallowing her fears she dialed Mina's number and had to hold her breath when no one answered the first four rings. At the fifth ring Mina's sleepy voice answered, "Hello?"
"Ahhh hello Mina- This is Mrs. Mitsui, have you talked with Amy lately? No? Oh. well I thought. No she isn't home. I can't find her anywhere, and I naturally thought she was with you or Lita. No She' s not with Lita. Are you sure she didn't call or anything? Ok. Good Night." Her hand dropped down on the receiver her fingers shaking. "Call the police." Her husband sounded so calm, that she halfway thought that he had done something to her daughter, but she quickly banished the thought.
Unable to dial the number properly, Mrs. Mitsui had her husband do it. Ten minutes later the police were searching the apartment. "There's no sign of a forced entry, folks, I'm sorry, but your daughter has fairly disappeared. We will, of course, continue this investigation, but in the meantime, do you have any friends' house in which you would be able to spend the night on such short notice? We need to have the house completely vacated so that we may be able to continue this investigation without having any one tamper unwittingly with evidence." Both anguished parents nodded, and were soon off with enough clothes for the night and the next day and night.
Meanwhile Mina and Lita were both being called upon, the story of Amy's disappearance reaching their ears. "This may be the only evidence we have of you friends' disappearance, and I don't know if this is significant or not, but we found Amy's night gown sopping wet with water in her bathroom, which also was sopping wet. Now here's the valuable information, her clothes were found underneath a picture of you, and your other friends. Now seeing how the Hino girls' scene was set, the fire and clothes were also found underneath a picture of friends. Can you give me any kind of clue that would help to unravel this mystery."
Both girls were given the same story, and both could answer 'no' to it. Now Mina and Lita were the only scouts left. But what were two sailor scouts going to do about a whole group of Negaverse scum?
