Title: Not like the other girls

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha; neither do I own Sailor Moon.

AN: I'm so happy and I don't know why. This week is the best of my life! I love my life, I love my pets, I love . . . . Doesn't matter, I simply love everything!

Thanks to my reviewers!

minnieshon: Could work, but there still would be the question who will be paired with Koga and who with Fluffy . . . I have an idea. –Laughs evilly-

Chapter 9 – I need your help

When Lita reached the school she looked for Ami, but she wasn't there yet. Lita decided to wait outside the school ground so that none of their teacher's would see them. Lita sat on a wooden bench and looked around. After some time Lita recognized a blue haired girl walking towards the school. Lita sighed; it was Ami.

Ami stopped when she saw Lita waiting for her. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "No wait, where were you? We were in sorrow about you and you were just . . . gone!"

"Ami, please calm down." Lita said and put her hands on Ami's shoulders. "I'll tell you everything, but not here. Can we go somewhere else?"

"Now?" Ami asked surprised.

Lita nodded. "It's important." Ami looked at Lita for a long time without saying anything. "Please Ami." Lita said begging.

Ami faced the books she was holding in her hands, a sigh escaped her lips. "Okay, but just because I think it'll must be really serious if you want me to skip school."

Lita smiled brightly and embraced Ami happily. "Thank you so much. Let's go and see if we meet Serena on the way."

Ami nodded and both girls walked away from the school.

----

Ami and Lita sat at a table in the arcade together with Serena. Of course she was late for school and so she decided to join her friends; detention could wait. After Andrew had brought them something to drink Serena looked at Lita. "So, where were you?"

"It's a bit complicated." Lita said.

"I think it's not that complicated for me." Ami smiled and so did Lita as she got the hint. Serena looked at them a bit angry. "I'll understand it too!" She complained. "Tell us."

"Well, I told you I met a friend when I was on my way to the arcade; when I walked home I thought about visiting her, but her mother said she was asleep. But then I saw Kagome walking into an old shed." Lita told them.

"Kagome is the friend you met." Serena noticed.

"Yeah, we knew us for some time." Lita answered. "Anyway I followed her into the shed but she wasn't there, the only thing I saw was an old well and without thinking about it I jumped into it. The well is some kind of tunnel between this world and the feudal era. She has friends there and they need our help."

Ami's eyes widened. "Our help?"

"I was attacked and I transformed. Kagome soon found out who the other senshis were." Lita looked at Ami and than at Serena. "Her friends in that time have a big enemy and Inuyasha, a dog hanyou; he thinks that they can't handle him, so he asked me to ask you to help him and the others."

"We should talk about that with the others." Serena mentioned.

"I know, but right now I'm talking with you." Lita looked at her friends pleading. "It's more complicated than you think."

Ami and Serena waited for Lita to talk but instead a lone tear rolled over Lita's cheek. Ami placed herself beside Lita and put an arm around her. "What happened?"

"Remember I told you about this boy who broke a promise?"

Ami nodded. "Yeah I do." Serena nodded too.

Lita looked at Ami. "He lives in the feudal era; he's also a friend of Kagome."

"You met him again?" Ami asked and Lita nodded. "And I assume he loves you and you love him. That's why it's complicated."

"It's not just that." Lita said. "Miroku has a black hole in his right hand; it's a curse from Naraku. Naraku is the one Inuyasha and the others want to kill." The two girls listened silently. "The black hole will suck up Miroku someday, unless we can kill Naraku in time."

Serena understand. "That's why you want us to help you."

"I don't think Miroku has much time left." Lita's eyes filled with tears again. "He'll die. I know he's the one I was looking for and now . . . I don't want to let it end like this."

"How about if we call the others to a meeting at Rei's?" Ami suggested. Lita nodded in agreement. The three girls stood up and left the arcade.

----

Later that day Serena, Ami, Lita, Rei, Mina and the two cats met at the temple. Lita told the others what had happened when she was gone and that she needed their help.

Mina was exited; of course she wanted to go to the feudal era and help Lita's new friends, but the main reason she wanted to go there was Miroku. She wanted to see if he really was the 'right one' for Lita.

Rei wasn't sure about travelling to the feudal era, after all there were demons they had to fight and in this time there were also demons that had to be killed if they would attack the people living here, but Luna said that Rei's suspicion would not be well-founded since there was no attack for two months now. "The demons run out." Artemis noticed. "It wouldn't be any problem if we go there and help them."

Lita sighed in relief and thanked them for their support, but Rei still didn't like the idea. "I think there's more you just don't tell us." Lita looked at her. "I'm sure that this hanyou and his companions can kill Naraku, so why do they need our help?"

Lita looked at Ami and Serena. Ami nodded. "You should tell them."

Mina looked at Ami and than at Lita. "Tell us what?"

Everyone faced Lita. She took a deep breath. "They can kill him, but it takes too much time; time they don't have – time Miroku doesn't have."

"What do you mean?" Luna asked.

"Naraku put a curse on Miroku's grandfather; every man in Miroku's family is affected by it." Lita answered. "He has a black hole in his hand and it'll suck him up someday. I don't know when but I'm sure he hasn't much time left. This is why we need your help."

Mina's expression on her face could be described with one word – shocked. "He'll die?" She asked with wide opened eyes.

Lita nodded.

"But he can't die!" Mina exclaimed.

"Mina." Rei said calmly.

Mina looked at Rei. "No 'Mina'! Lita is in love with that guy and he's obviously in love with her; and now he's going to die."

"Thank you Mina." Lita mentioned. Mina looked at her. "I don't have the need to hear that all along."

"I'm sorry." Mina said and dropped her head.

Rei looked at Lita. Suddenly all her doubts had vanished. "Okay, I'm coming with you and I think the others will come with us too. Or am I wrong?"

Serena smiled. "Rei's right. We'll help you."

Lita smiled brightly and embraced each of her friends. "Thank you so much."

"No problem." Ami said and stood up. "We maybe should pack some things. Where do we meet again?"

"You know the Higurashi Shrine?" Lita asked. The others nodded. "We meet there. When you walk up the stairs you'll see and old shed. Kagome and I will be waiting there for you. I'll have to get some things myself. Let's meet there at five o'clock."

"It's a deal!" Serena said.

Everyone except Rei stood up and walked home to pack some things they might need. Rei for her part had no need to hurry since she was living in the temple; even though she went to her room and started packing her things. She wondered what would await them in the feudal era.

Lita walked home fast, she couldn't await the moment she would be back and see Miroku again.

Okay, this is going to be important:

I will put the one who gets the most votes with Fluffy and the other one with Koga. The one with least of all votes will get . . . no one. It's hard but it has to be; not everyone can be happy. You can still vote until chapter 10 is published. I will put the end results in chapter 11 so that everyone will know about it.

Current result for now is:

Ami – 4

Rei – 2

Mina – 1

Coming Next:

"So do you love her?"

"If this would happen I should be dead by now."
