ELITE ANGELS, ELITE DEMONS
Chapter 6
Usagi ran out of the cluster of trees in a burst of energy. "Ah!" she cried. "Civilization! Light! Concrete!" As she kissed the sidewalk the other Angels came out of the forest.
"Uh, Usagi. Get your mouth off of the dirty ground," Rei said as her face scrunched up in disgust.
Each girl sweatdropped as Usagi stood up and started to spit onto the forest grounds.
Soon the Angels were walking down the street acting like a couple of regular, old teenagers.
"So where are we going to stay?" Minako asked as she stuck her hands behind her head and winked at a guy who was staring at her.
Rei rolled her eyes at the blond's actions and replied. "I believe that we should just stay at the same place that we stayed at before."
"Nay. If by the off chance that the same people work there, they would obviously notice us," Ami reminded all.
"Ugh. Do you really thing that they would still be working there? I mean, the last time we came to Earth was basically a year ago," Makoto said. She was getting tired and really wanted to crash for the night.
"It's possible. Let's just find some other place and we'll look for jobs in the –," Ami was cut off as she came in contact with something hard.
"Ouch!" she cried as she rubbed her forehead. Without opening her eyes she said, "Please don't tell me I ran into a poll."
"Oh no Ami, it's much hotter than a poll," Minako's voice rang out.
Out of confusion Ami opened her eyes to look up at the 'hot poll.'
Oh yes. It was much hotter than a poll. And there were five of them.
"Oh sir, I'm so sorry. I was conversing with my friends and wasn't watching where I was going. Please accept my apology."
"Hn. Just watch where you're going next time," the man said not in a kind way, but it wasn't so harsh. He had black hair pulled into a cute little ponytail.
"Five beautiful ladies like you shouldn't be out this late. Have you not heard of the attacks?" A brown haired one said. His hair was pulled back into a neat braid.
"Attacks?" Rei asked, her eyes flashing to the boy.
"Duo, there is no need to scare them. Just issue a warning," a blond one said. "Yes, attacks. It is said that there are four vicious murderers out here during the night that hunt out young unaware women. Shouldn't you be scared?"
"Scared?" Makoto asked, her frown deepening.
"Yes, we are scared. It's just that we need a place to stay and we have little money," Ami said cutting off what ever more Makoto was about to say.
"Where is your luggage?" Another brown haired boy asked, his long bang covering up one of his green eyes.
The girls looked down at their feet as if trying to make luggage appear.
Usagi stepped up. "If you'll please not tell a soul. We're runaways.
Our –," she stopped as a fake sniffle came out. "Our parents weren't the best people on Earth." Fake tears started to roll down her creamy cheeks.
"All of your parents?" the last man asked. He had very messy, unruly brown hair.
"If you haven't guessed already. Our parents were in it together. They thought …… They thought ……" Minako joined in with Usagi as fake tears began to roll down her cheeks also.
Makoto comforted Minako, adding to part of the show. "They thought they could sell us to other men for money," she said as fake tears gathered in the corners of her eyes.
"We know that they loved us somewhere in their hearts but they were desperate for money. And we were their only choice for they would not resort to stealing," Rei said as she hugged herself and sniffled.
"Though we've been tainted, we still believe we can move on," Ami finished. "And that's why we have no luggage."
"I'm deeply sorry to have rendered up the reason to your running away. Now if you do not mind we need to be on our way," and with that, the blond one and the other men left the crying girls on the sidewalk.
After they disappeared the girls stopped their fake crying.
"Well! You would think simple civilians would care for some damaged girls," Usagi said wiping her tears away.
"I don't think those were simple civilians Usagi," Rei said as she stared at where the men had once stood.
"Yeah, something didn't feel right about them. It seemed like they were trying to scare us off," Makoto said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yes that too. But their aura, something's not right about them. Girls, I have a bad feeling," Rei concluded as her frown deepened.
"I'm sure that those were probably just class 4 Demons. Nothing big, they were just trying to make us scared," Ami said as if it were nothing. "Now let's find somewhere to sleep, I'm pooped!"
Walking along they found a simple inn where the amount of money they had would hold them off for a bit.
"What should we do for room arrangements?" Usagi asked as they stepped inside of the inn building.
"Well, I believe that Rei should not be with Usagi, you never know what could happen in that room. Usagi and Minako will probably stay up talking all night. So I guess we should do me and Usagi then Minako, Rei, and Makoto."
"All right Ami, sounds good to me," Rei said as she took the key that the man at the counter was holding out for her as Ami took the other.
As they stepped into the elevator Minako came up with a good question. "Do you really think that there are murderers out there?"
"I believe they were just trying to scare us, those stupid class 4 Demons," Makoto said as she took her two hands and rested them on her hip.
"I something wrong with your hip Mako-chan?" Usagi asked the brunette.
"Huh? Oh, no. It's just an easier way of placing your hands on your knees," She explained.
"Oh," Usagi said as she tried it herself. "Hmm, it does work. And it's better than leaning over."
"Well you learn something new every day," Rei rolled her eyes as the elevator door rang.
Each stepped off and headed towards the numbers 251 and 253.
"We have…… 253. I guess we'll see you guys in the morning. At what time should we get up?" Minako asked as she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Let's say around 8:30?" Ami said as she placed the key into the door of her room.
"8:30?!" Usagi cried out as she stepped into the room and slammed the door shut.
The three standing outside rolled their eyes and also stepped into their room. The rooms weren't too bad, two bunk beads, a bathroom, a small kitchen that was basically the dining room too. Then next to that was a small living room with a small TV.
"Eh, not bad. I still don't want to live here for the next two weeks though," Rei said as she plopped down onto one of the beds, making a symphony of springs come alive.
"At least there isn't any dust," Makoto said wiping her finger over one of the tables, pulling up a slightly gray finger. "Okay, make that barely any dust."
"Mmm, let's just go to sleep, I am so tired. But I am not sleeping in these clothes!" Minako exclaimed as she remembered what she was wearing.
"Hmm, then I guess you'll have to sleep in the nude cause there's nothing else to wear," Rei giggled as she put her hands behind her head and closed her eyes.
"Nuh uh! I am going out to buy me some clothes! I don't even care if those murderer dudes come after me, I am not sleeping in these clothes," and with that Minako stomped out of the room.
"Minako! You can't go out there by yourself! You'll totally get lost!" Rei cried as she hopped off of the bed and ran out of the door after Minako.
"Hey don't leave me here alone!" Makoto said as she grabbed the key and ran out after the two Angels.
"Minako, I cannot believe you dragged me out here!" Rei said harshly as she threw her hands up into the air.
"I didn't drag you out here! You followed me!" Minako retorted as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Do you really think that there will be a place open this late?" Makoto asked putting her hands behind her head.
"Makoto! Your not helping!" They yelled together.
"Sorry, sorry ……… wait. Did you hear that?" Makoto asked as she put her hand up and shushed the two others.
"Stop trying to scare us Makoto, it's not funny!" Minako yelled as she stomped her foot like a child.
"No, no. I'm not kidding! See! There it is again," Surprisingly the three were next to the forest that they had first come out of.
"I don't hear anything Mako – wait. I hear it," Rei said as she slowly cupped her ear.
"Guys! This isn't funn –."
"Shh!" Rei and Makoto shushed Minako as they strained to hear whatever Minako couldn't.
Then there was a loud SNAP! And even Minako heard it.
"It's an animal. I can't tell what kind. Let me see if I can reach it," Rei said as she placed her hands to the sides of her head. A red glow surrounded her and it started to slowly pulse.
Rei was looking for the source within her head. A gray mist was all around, with green pulsing lights, which indicated the trees. Quickly she caught a quick glance of purple, when she was pulled out of her state.
"It seems to be an animal of the Canis genus. But I couldn't get the full reading on it, I was pulled out," Rei said rubbing her eyes.
"That's because it's right there," Makoto said nonchalantly pointing at a growling wolf on the sidewalk in front of them. Its glowing eyes glared at them as it bared its sharp, bloodthirsty canines.
"Hmm, oh yes it would seem that it is."
And with that the wolf lunged.
Just barely dodging it Minako turned around quickly. "Damn! That thing is fast!" The wolf skid on the ground then twisted around to face the girls once again.
This time the wolf lunged at Makoto. Grabbing a bit of her shoulder it grabbed on, digging its claws into her flesh. Makoto let out a small grunt as she pulled the wolf off of her shoulder spraying blood onto herself and her opponent. After that job was done she hurled it against a lamppost. With a thud it hit the ground.
Minako started to walk over to the wolf as if in a trance, as Rei walked over to Makoto to check on her wounds.
"Boy, you think she'd be worried about her teammate and not the enemy. This wolf is obviously not normal," Makoto said gripping her shoulder tightly.
"No Mako-chan, I don't think she means to……," Rei said as she started to jog over to Minako. But Minako was already to the dog, petting its side.
"Minako! No!" Rei called as the wolf, quick as lightning, grabbed Minako's left arm in its jaws. Minako let out a scream of pain as she tried to shake the wolf off her arm, only making the teeth sink deeper.
Rei stopped quickly as she started to summon her powers. "Ares, god of war, heed my call!" Expecting a pillar of fire to burst into her hands Rei placed her hands above her head. But nothing happened.
"Let me try," Makoto offered. "Great Hera! Lend me strength!" Holding up both of her arms, though slightly grimacing, she called upon one of her goddesses. But again, nothing happened.
"What it going on here?!" Rei called out, looking down at her hands.
"Let's not ponder that now! We have to help Minako!" Makoto said running towards her blond friend.
"Using what? Brute strength?" Rei called running after her.
"Exactly!" Makoto decided to give Minako her apologies later as she grabbed the wolf by its sides and prying it out of Minako's arm.

I think I'm gonna stop it there. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. First there was this humongous black out, and then I just didn't have the time. But now I've updated, so it's all good.
