/\ Jubban ward, Tokyo Japan \/
It was peaceful for once in Juban; it had been weeks since the last heart snatcher incident between the senshi and the witches. People where beginning to relax back into their normal routines, but then again, some things never changed and many a person was still forced to leap out of the way as a late Usagi ran for school as fast as she could, barely managing to avoid tripping over her own feet. She tore through the gates of Juban high and into the buildings before the exiting truancy officer could realise what had passed him. Usagi's teacher was just calling her name when she slammed open the door and tumbled inside, panting out an automatic excuse.
"SorryI'mlateMissbutIsleptinlateagain." The teacher shook her head as she marked the blonde as there. Usagi dragged herself to her seat and pulled herself up to lay her head down on the desk. Around her class went on as normal until Naru abruptly poked her in the ribs.
"Hey Usagi! Wake up!" Usagi looked up at her drearily before she registered just how quiet the room had gone and looked up the front. A new boy had entered the classroom and was standing by the door looking around the room with a gaze that seemed to automatically sort through them as if weighing them up against some kind of scale. Usagi couldn't help but watch him as he crossed to the teacher's desk and handed her a note. He nearly glided on his toes and his silvery blonde hair fell over bright golden eyes that darted around, taking everything in. The teacher coughed and got to her feet to introduce him.
"Class, this is our new student Dante' Mertogra (1)." Dante didn't say anything and merely bowed before he was directed to a seat at the back of the class. The girls turned to watch him as he walked down the isle and Usagi heard the unmistakeable sound of Mokato (Aka sailor Jupiter) sighing.
"He looks just like my old Sempai." The blonde fought the urge to bang her head against the desk and looked up again only to find herself looking Dante' in the eye. Something flashed in the golden depths and Usagi shuddered unconsciously as a wave of unfamiliar magic washed over her, leaving her feeling cold in its wake. The moment passed as he looked away but Usagi could still feel his presence behind her through out the rest of the morning. At break time Ami met up with her, immediately pointing out the new presence in the schoolyard.
"Usagi, I had some free time in study hall and I was scanning for the heart snatchers when this new power source appeared! It was amazing, it seemed to be much more powerful than any of us so I tried to fine tune the search and you wouldn't believe the energies that seem to be gathering around the school." Ami spoke in an excited whisper and for once Usagi was being serious as she stared across the school gardens absently.
"I know him." She said aloud after a long while. "I know that guy from somewhere but I can't remember." Her brow furrowed and Ami followed her gaze to where Dante' stood near a blonde girl who sat beneath a tree by the outer fence. An open book lay in her lap and an empty bento sat in the grass beside her feet.
"Ah! Who is that talking to Kotori?" Ami asked, looking at the princess that was boring holes in Dante's head with her eyes.
"Isn't he dreamy?" Mokato scooted around the tree to sit on Ami's other side, making the blue haired senshi jump. "His name is Dante Mertogra moved into our class today." She sighed loudly. "He looks just like my old sempai!" Ami didn't bother to comment and looked back to watching the mysterious boy, then, as if he knew they'd been watching him he looked around and found them. Ami cringed at being caught staring as the shadowed golden eye's glared hotly in their direction, but most specifically at Usagi. He mouthed something before the glare vanished and he returned to his conversation.
"I wonder what happened to make him glare at you like that." Mokato said with nearly no tact what so ever. Usagi span on her, looking faintly annoyed.
"I didn't do anything!" She all but shouted. Mokato gave her a look that just screamed 'Sure, sure.' clearly not believing her at all. The future queen very childishly stuck her tongue out at her senshi while Ami sat in deep thought. Even though Usagi had missed what Dante' had said, the senshi of mercury hadn't. He knew, he'd said the words as clear as day, 'I know about the senshi.' Something in his face had convinced her that there was no doubt that he was serious. The air around him nearly shimmered in her eyesight. He was different, and certainly much more dangerous.

Mina shouldn't have been behind the school.
She was creeping around in the gardens after hours spying on the boy she'd seen earlier in the mall. He was the cutest guy she'd seen in weeks and she was desperate for a date but from the moment she'd started following him he'd been acting weird, almost as if he was looking for someone. He'd nearly run her over when he turned and doubled back to the school. He was panicking and in one serious hurry as he ran toward the crashes and bangs that Mina knew belonged to a heart snatcher. Slipping behind some trees she transformed and ran out into the battle field, almost falling over the wounded form of the heart snatcher that had been thrown clear across the garden by the boy who no longer wore a school uniform.
Mina recognised the symbol burning on his forehead as the kanji for star. It looked just like one of the marks of the sailor senshi and the fact that the uniform had vanished so quickly pointed to much the same thing. Mina's mind blurred as it hit her that the boy was like them. Then she looked beyond him to the limp figure behind him. It was a blonde girl with a large crystal butterfly floating above her chest and glowing with the light of a heart crystal. Then all of a sudden everything slowed down as the scene was overlapped by a different one from her memory and the senshi of Venus was thrown into a vision that she'd never understand.
~~~~~
Kotori had been gardening when the heart snatcher had struck from behind along with the witch Ugeal. The garden behind the school was her pride and joy, she worked on it day after day, patiently picking up the rubbish left behind by other students and trimming and planting with the seasons year after year. The school had long since resigned to have her around for as long as she wanted to care for the garden, and with little else on the horizon she wanted to do, she would care for it until the end of forever. Humming to herself she hadn't noticed the extra presence in the garden though until pain speared into her chest. The wind was violently knocked out of her lungs as she stared unseeingly at the large crystal butterfly that floated before her before her world tilted and turned black.
As she fell to the ground the butterfly was revealed to everyone present, everyone including the two senshi that sat wide eyed in the trees. Ugeal finally broke the silence, letting out a puff of air from the breath she'd been holding. "It's......... It must be one of the pure heart crystals I've been searching for!" She turned the heart snatcher that stood beside her. "Get that Butterfly NOW before those senshi come along." No sooner had the words left her lips the senshi of Uranus and Neptune darted out of the trees making a beeline for the glowing object. The heart snatcher over took them quickly, reaching out with plant like hands to grab the treasure when a burst of light flashed in the semi darkness of twilight and the heart snatcher found itself flying through the air to land in the grass nearly fifteen meters away at the feet of a stunned sailor Venus. The two outer senshi stopped short at the sight of the silvery haired young man standing in their path. He didn't move once from his defensive stance as he spoke in a deadly whisper to the shocked women standing around him.
"Don't you DARE try to take this girl's heart." There was the clear tone of a threat in his voice that foretold pain and suffering for the next person to so much as twitch in Kotori's direction. "If you try to take her heart again I will summon the others and we will hunt you down until we have the princesses heart crystal back." He knew exactly what he was talking about when he let slip the word princess. Sailor Neptune opened her mouth to speak, her hands held palm upward in a pleading gesture.
"Please! Whoever you are......... we need her heart! It might be one of the pure hearts that make up the purity chalice, and we need it to stop the sovereign of silence." Dante fixed her with an icy glare.
"No senshi's hands will touch it, I told you, take it and I will kill you to get it back, it is not the heart you seek so just leave!" It was made painfully obvious that he wasn't going to stand for any more arguments a moment later when his magical attack in the shape of a ball of gold fire was sent hurling toward them, exploding in a shower of sparks as it threw them back into the stunned red head that had been coming up behind them. By the time them managed to sit up and look around again Dante was gone and so was Kotori and her heart.
There was a shriek from Sailor Venus as she came out of her trance and cast her attack on the downed youma, effectively finishing it off. Ugeal scrambled away from Neptune and Uranus and fled, zooming off into the distance while her mind ticked over on how she would get the butterfly heart crystal.
