He he, he, he. I escaped Aisia-chan for now. I think she has been taking
lessons from Wufei. To bad though I have been getting lessons from Duo..
Ignore me I just downed about four gallons of caffeine filled soda's.
Caffeine.(drools). Anyways.
Sorry this took a while to come out. I got a break from school. Now I can at least get this chapter out.
SORRY IF I HAVEN'T ANSWERED YOUR EMAILS OR SENT ANY. MY EMAIL IS NOT SENDING, IT CAN RECEIVE BUT NOT SEND OUT.
Usagi made her way back to the dorm through the normal route of the doors. She found Hiiro's door wide open and grinned. She could hear the clacking of his keyboard. She giggled to herself. She found it fun to scare the boys with her messages popping up out of nowhere. Though you think after all this time they would have gotten use to it by now. She stood in the doorway but just in the shadows so Hiiro wouldn't notice her at first.
Hiiro had gotten a message from the Doctors telling him they were still working on the disk. That had him angered they were supposed to be able to have this done already. What if it had the next attack and what the Hell did Zech's have to do with anything? Was he the enemy once again? He stopped working on the disk he copied himself and glared that the message that popped up.
'You are just as bad a Trowa when you glare at your computer. But it is rather cute though' that had him rattled. Trowa..me.cute all in the same sentence? The message continued.
'If you are going to follow me again like that next time you could at least tell me how I did or you could join me?'
If he hadn't been who he was he would have fallen off his chair by now. He turned to the door blinking. He saw Tenshi's silhouette through the darkness. He could see her shaking her head. She turned and headed towards her room. He looked back down.
'Like I said before your reactions are too cute. Good night soldier boy.'
He starred at the computer like it all of a sudden grew arms and legs and was dancing around. In another words he was shocked. Never had anyone called him cute and solider boy.well if you count the stalker. Which he didn't. Before Tenshi was totally gone from his site he called her back.
"I heard an American speaking Japanese earlier today."
Usagi shrugged. She was going to have to think quickly about this. The others weren't supposed to know about the lesson's that she and Duo have been teaching each other. Now even Hotaru has helped. She helps with his speech. But lately Duo had thought it funny to start speaking one or two words of Nihon-jin (Japanese) in front to the guys.
'Yes he did. Demo you talk to him all the time in Japanese just to spite him. He probably picked it up from that.'
Before he could say anything else she left. He knitted his eyebrows together. The words the braided boy had been speaking of late would not come out of the mouths that spoke the language to him. Never before had he heard the words for joy and such spoke from him or the others. Though Ru would say something in Nihon-jin he was sure there was no way the boy could pick it up. It had taken him forever to figure out what the words were they pilots called him (baka, bakayaro, ect). Hell he thought at first baka was a complement.
He shook his head there was something else to figure out. Never before had he had so many mysteries to find out. Fist it was Tenshi, who would cause so much pain to her, why and who was she really? He couldn't find anything on her let alone Ru. She was also a mystery. Then there was the new faction. Though well organized and quickly climbing the corporate and political ladder there still was no sign of a visible leader. There was also this new Gunadam and Pilot. He still couldn't shake the feeling of recognition with the machine. The doctors were no help they gave him nothing. Now Duo's ability to speak Japanese out of the blue it was beginning to catch up with him and tire him out yet excite him at the same time.
This night was turning out to be too much for him. He looked at the clock. He had a little more than an hour or two at the most before Duo would come crashing in to wake them. He looked back down to his computer and sighed. The disk would have to wait. He needed sleep.
The next morning the guys waited in the courtyard around the fountain for Hiiro and Tenshi. They had been there almost an hour. This was unlike the Solider and Tenshi. Ru had gotten tired of waiting after five minutes saying something like 'that girl is always late for everything.' Which in some ways was true. Occasionally Tenshi was known to be late but not all the time. Ru acted like she didn't it non-stop. They were suppose to go and meet Catherine, Trowa's sister from the circus. It was in town and Trowa wanted Tenshi and Ru to meet her and vise versa. When Cathy had called to tell them he was coming he was excited he hadn't seen her in almost a year. He almost gave the girl a heart attack when he began to tell her all about Tenshi and Ru. Well what he wasn't sworn to tell. Cathy was shocked. Trowa was saying more that three sentences and it was about two girls he considered his little sisters even thought they teased him by calling him Tousan (father). She was speechless. She got over it and demanded that Trowa bring the two girls to meet her the day they got there.
Two figures came out of the building for the dorms. One was holding something to her face. When they got closer it was Hiiro and Ru. She had an ice pack against her eye. Duo got a little hot at that. For some reason he had begun to like the girl even when they had their fights about whom and what gender the great Shinigami was. He glared at Hiiro.
"You hit her?" Hiiro glared back. Ru stepped in rolling her eyes.
"No Duo. Tenshi hit me. I tried to wake her up. I found Hiiro trying to get into her room. she wasn't getting up she had kicked him out and locked the door. I went through the balcony and tried to wake her up. She got mad and decked me mumbling something about school can wait." She shrugged.
" Why on earth would she do something like that?" Quatra asked chewing on his bottom lip.
" She said she had only gotten a half hours sleep last night and whatever you guys wanted to do today you had better do it with out her and she doesn't care what complaints you have against it." She told them. She stared at the raised eyebrows and frowns. She knew exactly how to get the reluctant princess up. Not even food had gotten her out of bed.
"She even told me that there was no way that any of you were going to get her up of bed. It was beyond your power." All five glared and frowned at that but it did perk up their interest. There wasn't much that wasn't out of their power. A slight breeze came up sending a mist from the fountain across them they turned the COLD fountain then to each other grinning or smirking in a few cases. Duo and Wufei, being on of the fastest of the group (don't know why though) took off for the nearest janitor closet. They came rushing back with buckets. They began to fill ten buckets with the cold, nasty fountain water. They didn't know it but someone was watching.
Usagi had gotten up after she had heard Hiiro and Hotaru leave. She felt guilty. She shouldn't have reacted the way she did. She was tired and everything was beginning to catch up with her. Not that she had thought they were waking her up to go to school helped. That left her blushing harder than from her blushing from her stupidity. She climbed out of bed and headed for the balcony to see if the others weren't to mad. From where she stood she could read all of their lips. She frowned a little when Hotaru smirked and told them waking her up was beyond their power and when Duo and Wufei took off and came back with buckets. She could see the mirth on Hotaru's face and she grinned.
'If they want to play then lets play. This should teach them not to mess with the master.'
Her plan was simple but it always got the desired effects. She dressed in her usual ten-second style then dashed out into the dorm getting all she needed to fulfill her plans.
They didn't know how they did it but they made it up to the dorm with all ten 20 gallon buckets (and those things are heavy. You should try and carry one or two around full of soapy water as punishment. I am stating it here and now never get you mother mad when she works for a R.V. retailer. Cleaning the inside is bad enough but to clean the whole out side.gggaaahhh!).
They made Hotaru go in and make sure she was still a sleep. She rolled her eyes of course they wanted her to go in and get punched. Normally a punch wouldn't harm the little girl. She had been through worse but being punched by the most powerful being in the universe. That would defiantly leave a mark.
"Bunch of scared little babies." She received glares for that. She only glared back.
"No offence, Ru-chan, " Duo spoke up for the group. " We have know Tenshi for a quite a bit now and one of the first things we learned is don't mess with her when she hasn't slept good or eaten or is in a really bad mood. Besides these are really HEAVY so HURRY up already!" The other four gave small nods. Hotaru had to chuckle at that. It was one of the first things people did learn about her Princess. She smiled when she remembered Haruka had to learn that the hard way. She tried to wake up Usagi one time when she only had gotten a few minutes of sleep. The punch she got left Haruka with a black eye for three weeks. That left the wind Senshi in shock for almost two days before she snapped out of it and became and over joyed like a kid that found a truckload of candy with its name on it. She was happy that she had someone her level to spar with that was at her 'level'.
The guys had noticed that Ru had gone into a trance like Tenshi would when they first met her. She still did from time to time but nothing like she use to. Ru snapped out of it and looked at the boys shaking her head. She opened the door and stepped in.
"Fine if I die I am coming back to haunt you for the rest of your lives." Duo grinned at that statement while the others rolled their eyes.
Ru opened the door and slipped in quietly as she could. She headed for Tenshi's room when she heard it. Some one behind her was 'tsk'ing at her. Her eyes went wide as the flung her self around. She found a very amused Tenshi smiling her 'I am up to no good' smile. Fear crept through the small girl. Then she felt it. Something wet and gooey hit her head from above. Looking up she mentally kicked her self. How could she have walked into this literally? She looked down at Tenshi pleadingly. Tenshi's grin grew bigger.
'I am truly sorry about hitting you. You know I am, demo to let them wake me up with COLD, DIRTY, SLIMEY, SMELLY, FOUNTAIN WATER! You have the pay the consequences of messing with the master of universe of pranks. (Thank you but that is my title but I am letting her borrow it for right now.) '
Tenshi pulled a cord and let the bottom of the box above Ru fall. As soon as the contents hit the target she let out a scream. Causing the boys in the hallway to rush in.
" Wait! Iie." Ru's please went unheard of as the boys came skidding in and received the same punishment as Ru. They groaned when they looked up to see Tenshi looking down at them clapping. They also recognized the prank at there less than gracefull attempts to regain footing or hold what footing they had. It was the same one she had used on Quatra when they first arrived back to the mansion. She threw down a white card before she took off out of the dorm closing the door. She didn't want the guys to get up and pull her into the mess.
Hiiro groaned. The mess was going to take forever to clean up. He let his headland on the floor. That is when he realized he wasn't looking at the normal wood floor but at white plastic. He mentally thanked the Kami's that she had thought of that. He glanced over to the note that Duo was holding. None of the others were in a position to see the back of the card. If they did all the hard work he had put in would go to waist. Duo had read the card out loud already and was about to turn it over. Panic gripped Hiiro he tore the thing from Duo and ripped into as many pieces as he could. The others looked at him like he grew another head. (I am going to let your imagination think up what was written on the card)
"I know the note was bad, Hii-man demo don't you think that was bit far." Duo grinned. Hiiro glared at the boy before getting up and making his way to the bathroom. The others each made their ways to their rooms to change and get clean. They emerged after almost two hours of cleaning. Trowa had to call Cathy and tell her they would be a little late due to some "family" problems. They made their way back down towards the fountain. They found Tenshi lying on the fountain side looking up at the clouds. They had the temptation to push her in but didn't want to deal with the time loss of her having to change and clean up. After waking her up from her apparent daydreaming they dragged Tenshi over to the waiting car that would take them to the café they were to meet Cathy at.
It took twenty minutes to get to the café, which was near the heart of the town. Nothing had happened for once on this little ride. Duo and Wufei were actually sitting next to each other and not arguing, teasing or killing. Of course a very intimidating Trowa had nothing to do with it. He had told them they would deal with him if anyone did not behave. No one was spared from the glare he had given them. He was telling them all. He wanted to make a good impression with Tenshi and Ru. After that things could go back to normal.
When they climbed out if it wasn't for the fact that Ru was holding Tenshi's hand and they were still leaning up against the car they would have fainted. Before them was a café they new all to well. How it was there they didn't know. Why? They had a pretty good idea why. And if café were here so would be the arcade and the control room.
Tenshi and Ru looked at each other. Worry and fear was evident in there eyes but for Trowa and the others they had to put up there battle faces. They plastered smiles on their faces before coming up to Trowa and linking arms with him and dragging him in with the others in tow.
A woman sat at a table in a corner. She looked outside as a black car pulled up and the pilots came out. The last to come out was two girls. One silver the other black. She smiled to her self.
"So they are the one?" to anyone she seemed to be talking to herself. But an English voice answered back in a whisper.
"It is she! We have found her! We must speak to her and the other one alone."
The women gave a small nod of the head. She was more occupied with the reactions of the two girls once they seen the café. What would make them frightened of a café? She watched as the put on smile and latched onto a surprised Trowa that in turned....Smile? She about fainted. Trowa was right these girls were something if they gotten him to smile. She smiled to herself and as the boys came in she replied to the voice from before.
"Mission Accepted." She raised her hand and waved it. "Oi! Trowa-tachi over here." He nodded towards her and lead the way with the others following. She stood and gave him a quick hug. She looked down at the two girls, which startled her at first. She knew they were small but not that small especially for being only teenagers.
"Hello I am Catharine but you can call me Cathy. Especially since you gotten these five to open up and be normal boys." She grinned at the comments or lack of ones she gotten. Just then another figure walked up.
"Ah I see they finally arrived." The group turned to see Sally Po.
" What are you doing her onna?" Sally laughed at his comment and when both Tenshi and Ru smacked the back of his head.
" I was talking with Cathy earlier and she invited me. Why don't you girls introduce yours selves." They gave her a smile and nodded. Ru spun around and stuck her hand out.
"Hi, I am Ru. I can't see how Tousan can be your brother your pretty." She smirked. Cathy giggled, Duo was trying to hide laughter, and Wufei smirked. Quatra and Trowa looked down at her shocked.
"Ru!" they both said. She turned her innocent puppy eyes up at them and put her head to the side.
" What?" Trowa glared at her Quatra shook his head. Cathy turned her attention to the other girl.
" You must be Tenshi?" she nodded in response. Cathy grinned she turned to the others. "Why don't we go some where less.."
"In destructive?" Sally finished for her. She got five sets of glares for that one. Cathy and Ru were laughing. Tenshi had her attention locked on a bag in the seats. Something familiar was coming form that bag and she couldn't place it.
Ru notice Tenshi's attention was elsewhere. She followed her gaze. That was when she felt it. Not sure what but something was defiantly in there. She looked up to Tenshi who was looking at her.
'You felt it to, Ru-chan?'
'Hai, princess. It is something familiar and I can't place it. Since I came her my perception of things are becoming off.'
Tenshi gave a short nod before turning to others to see them bickering, but still being lead out of the café. She gave a mental sigh. Hopefully the next place would take away some memories and lessen the chance of a run in. how fate could be cruel to her she was not sure. She and Ru stood before the same arcade they were thinking of earlier. Crown was written on the sign above. They each let out a small groan low enough not to alert the others. Al though the bickering of a few was giving stopped them from hearing anything else. They looked back down at each other and shrugged and followed the others inside. The others had stopped as soon as the entered looked around then back to the two women who lead them here. Sally was trying very hard not to laugh and Cathy just grinned.
"I figured here certain youth could be entertained while the older youths conversed." The boys turned to glare at someone the comment was for but found a certain American missing. They heard his hoots and hollers of glee deep inside the arcade. Then they heard a crash and Duo's apologies and eeps.
"Let's save his braided onna ass." Wufei told them before smirking. "Besides I get first dibs on killing him." The boy rolled their eyes and followed Duo's voice. The two women turned to Tenshi and Ru who were looking around amazed how big the arcade had grown and seemed to be looking for someone.
"There is also another reason we brought them here.." Catherine began but was once again cut off not by Sally but by a mating call of a psycho. The two women grinned. Certain people these two girls did not want to see would be perfect distraction. They would help keep the boys at bay while they talked.
Sally picked up for Cathy. "You see girls we have to talk to you alone. We were given orders to help you and we have a surprise." She glanced form the girls back towards the arcades depths. "Lets make haste and leave before they come and get us. They must not hear for we know you haven't told them." Her voice turned more courtly.
Tenshi and Ru were on the alert now. These two knew or know of something they should not.
'Princess, I am worried. I feel no vibes that I do from the inners from these two. They are of loyalty and of the silver millennium.'
Tenshi was stunned. The loyalty had got her but the silver millennium. Only ones from that time had the feeling of it and she and two others were the only ones to feel that vibe from them. One being the girl next to her and the third would be the keeper of time.
'I feel it as well. Lets follow these two. Keep you guard up and gun ready and henshin wand. Pray to Allah and to the Kamis that will not be needing either.'
'Hai!'
Hotaru looked form Tenshi to the women. "Alright lets go to the park. That way we can be alone and yet the boys can still find us" that and we will be around people if need be. She said to herself. Tenshi snorted and told her the boys could find her even if they weren't anywhere in the open.
Sally and Cathy understood the girl's predicament. They would consider anyone a possible threat. They led the way allowing the girls to see before them. They stopped once they were near the center of the park. They nodded off to a wooded area not to far from the main path. (Okay Cathy and sally are called women Ru and Tenshi the girls kay?) The girls nodded in affirmation while looking around for any traps.
Once they had reach the spot the women turned to the two girls. Immediately they dropped to their knees before Tenshi. Who in turn turned red and looked around to make sure no one saw this.
"Forgive us princess, "Cathy began. " We have only just received our memories."
"If we had them any sooner we would have came to you at once. We did not mean for you to be lonely."
At this Usagi was confused and frightened.
'Ru, what are they talking about?'
"Exactly who are you to be addressing the Tsuki no Hime? How do you know of her?" Hotaru barked bitterly at the two. They winced at her voice. The bag next to Cathy began to move. On instinct both girls brought out their guns and aimed. What came out was something they did not expect.
At first the creatures were shocked before one decided she had to have one of her "fits".
"Tomoe Hotaru, if your parents heard you talk that way!" the British voice turned to Usagi. "You young lady! I am ashamed at you! You are not to be holding guns."
Usagi was shaking bad when Hotaru showed now she was almost a mess. The gun dropped to the ground from her hands and her knees followed not long after. She stared with her mouth flapping tears of joy streamed down her face. Hotaru kneeled down beside her. As soon as she did the two felines leaped into their arms bawling them selves.
The two women watched happily. It had been so long since they had seen their princess smile.
"Luna, Airtimes, I think it is time to tell them of who we are." Cathy told them. The girls looked up confused before looking down at the cats. ( I like both of Luna's voices, but I have grown to like the British one a bit more.) Tenshi gasped and nearly fainted. Luna had cuts all over her; her fur no longer had its shine (not the word Wufei says for death). She was covered in dirt and grim. Looking over at the white cat he was similar but not as bad. Of course he didn't have the link Luna had with her, his was smaller. That would cause him to be treated less than Luna. That and being Venus' guardian didn't help. She would have to watch him.
Hotaru noticed it as well and thanked the kami's that the inners could not feel her healing powers. She picked up the black cat and held both of them tight to her a hint of purple light flashed around the cats. When it died down most of the wounds were healed. They were still dirty but healing wouldn't fix that just a good bath.
"Thank you Hotaru." The white cat spoke up smiling. Hotaru smiled down at him.
" You are welcome, demo call me Ru Seishi and Usagi, Tenshi Winner while here. The inners must not know of us." She looked up at the two women smiling. No longer were they a threat. She looked over to Usagi.
"Tenshi, relax. It is all right now. Till the other outers return us five will protect you." she looks at women again. "For some reason there is a strong connection with these two and the outer planets." Both girls looked at the smiling women.
"Princess I am surprised you don't remember us." Sally said teasingly before turning back to Ru. "You are right little one we are connected with the outer planets. We would prove it by showing our birthmark. Only that would lead the inners to know of our existence."
The girls nodded in understanding.
Cathy smiled; "Sally Po and myself were the ones from the outer planets that were sent to help raise the princess and protect her when her so called guards could not. " she ended bitterly. " Princess we ask for forgiveness not only did we fail you once but is seems twice." Usagi's eyes went wide and she shock her he head. For some reason pictures of Haurka and Michiru flashed through her head. Could it be?
Cathy giggled. " I see you found a connection. We are the first princess' of Uranus and Neptune. For some reason we carry the birthmark but the power passed from us to our younger siblings. Haruka and Michiru. They are the ones who carry the name of our planets and rule them. We do have some power. When we heard of the Princess' birth we begged the Queen to allow us to be her nanny's. Besides how else could we tell the Outer Senshi of their beloved Queen and Princess who they were to never see."
Memories flooded Usagi. She clutched her head with pain and had to concentrate on not letting any of her power get out of hand. When the pain subdued she was painting. She looked up at the two older women crying. She lunged at them and sobbed. Hotaru sat stunned. She knew of the older two but did not know she would meet them. She never for saw this. Pluto-mamma or some other source had to be blocking her from this.
"If you are Haruka-papa and Michiru-mamma's sisters, does that make you my aunts?" the two older women stopped at that. Mamma.. papa.. what in the world? Usagi noticed their faces she turned to the other three. The all began to laugh at the women.
Sally frowned, " It sounds as if my stubborn headed sister still thinks of her self as a man." She turned to Hotaru glaring showing indeed she was related to the senshi no wind. " What do you mean by Papa and mamma there little one and why are you awakened and the world intact?"
The girls settled down and told the story starting from when Usagi first became Sailormoon to now. Hotaru couldn't even resist and had to tell them of Haruka's evident mouth, which both women swore to wash out. That both girls and cats had to see. It got the older women off the fact she had picked up some of her papa's bad habits. After the story the Women sat stunned and angered at what the so-called guards had done and what the princess had been through. The girls talked for a few hours before any sign of the boys came.
Ru was laughing so hard she was having a hard time telling her story. " T- th-then Michiru-mama..oh god..s-s-sshe then yelled at." she was cut off when they heard Dou's loud voice whinnying. All six of them stopped and listened.
"I thought you said you could track her Hiiro!" Duo whinnied again. They could picture Hiiro glaring at him itching to pull his gun out and shoot.
"Well I know they are here. I heard their voices earlier." Quatra's voices came through obviously stopping any more conflicts from happening. The voices of the boys came closer the four females looked at each other and grinned. Tenshi pulled out a paint ball gun from her subspace pocket and nodded. Ru scooped up the two cats and told them of what was going to take place. Tenshi stepped back and disappeared into the trees.
"I don't know if I should be worried they don't shoot her or if I should be taking pictures?" Sally said out loud to no one in particular. Cathy shook her head and Ru grinned.
"Yap, your Haruka-papa's sister alright." Sally raised an eyebrow as the young girl giggled. The made their way back to the main walk way and to the boys. When they neared the prepared them selves before leaping out of the bush and acting like they had been running hard form something.
"Catharine what is it?" Trowa sounded panicked. He and the others glanced around to find anything.
"Have you seen Tenshi?" Ru squeaked out. " We lost her when they." she stopped as her eyes got bigger staring at something behind the boys. The other two females did the same. The boys froze, they could feel it someone or something was behind them and was armed. They heard a familiar click of a safety. They raised their hands in the air slowly in the air before turning around. When they did they mentally groaned and kicked them selves. They had fallen for another trick. Today wasn't their day at all. This was the second time they fell trap to Tenshi's tricks, it took them almost a good two hours to get Ririna and her bodyguards to let them go from their grips. What next?
The three females behind them were laughing and rolling on the ground. Tenshi smirked at the boys and gave a small bow to the boys. They lowered their arms and groaned as they also noticed the gun she happened to be caring. She began to smile slowly an all to familiar smile. They really didn't want to have to change again but what could they do? Tenshi's aims out ranked any of theirs as did her speed and agility that had them blow away.
She looked at each of the boys before looking pas them to the laughing girls she focused back up to the boys and arched an eyebrow. They blinked and grins or slight grins crossed their faces. They each gave a small nod. Her grin grew bigger. She pulled the trigger quickly three times. All laughter died down when the ammunition hit its targets. They boys looked back behind them.
On the ground were three very stunned females and two cats that seemed to be hanging their heads in shame. The female's eyes narrowed before turning the glares to the shooter who in turned gave a mocking bow. The three jumped up looked at each other and charged Tenshi. She smiled and ran at them before sliding under their feet causing them to trip and roll head over heal into the pond. Tenshi stood and dusted herself off before turning around to look at the other three females. When she did she found they weren't their standing but floating in the pond giving her glares of certain death. She swallowed hard. She didn't mean for that to happen. She watched as the glares darken and the boys laughed at them. Duo and Quatra were leaning on each other while Wufei and Trowa were on their knees laughing while clutching their middles. Hiiro's face was red from holding in laughter even though his shoulders shook. He would not break his mask even for that or give Duo anything to tease him about.
"IF YOU ARE QUITE FINNISHED." Ru snapped out. The boys stopped looked at them laughed a bit more before gathering themselves together and walking towards the dock to help them out.
Of course that wasn't what happened. Trowa leaned down to help Cathy up as Quatra helped Sally and Wufei helped Ru. With quick tugs from the girls it sent a chain reaction that lead to all five pilots in the water with them. Tenshi once again couldn't resists she put her fingers to her mouth and whistled while clapping.
They turned to her a grinned. Tenshi stopped what she was doing and froze. She froze for two reason's one the body's climbing out of the water and evil she felt coming from not far behind her as well as three familiar ki. Her heart leapt to her throat. Now there were three of them. Oh Kami. She looked over to Ru who was frozen as well. The others frozen when they notice Tenshi staring at them frightened and trembling. They were confused. Then Ru sucked in her breath and froze as well. Her and Tenshi seemed to be having a conversation with their eyes. That is when they heard it. from the other side of the trees they heard people screaming. Something snapped inside of Tenshi and Ru.
Tenshi spun around and in the same instance Ru was at her side. They heard the screams again. The boys grabbed their guns and were taking off passing Ru and Tenshi and into the woods. Cathy and Sally came up beside them.
" Ru what is it? What is going on?" Cathy asked panicked. She new those screams they weren't those of being attacked by terrorist but of evil far greater than that.
Four words came from Ru's mouth. They sounded dripping with death. Obviously the Solider of Death made a slight appearance. Frightening the older two women.
"Senshi. Yuma. Play time."
Ru glanced up at Tenshi and grabbed her hand with a squeeze of reassurance. Tenshi looked down and smiled before placing on her mask she only wore for missions. She smirked.
'Mission accepted.'
The two tore off along the same path the pilots had just use with the two women and cats in tow. The arrived to the center of the park to find five stunned boys guns forgotten. Before them stood what could only be described as a Yuma. It towered over everyone by a few feet, covered in fur yet it didn't have a real form to it. Bodies were littered around it where it had drained them.
"Transform!" Luna hissed at the girls.
Tenshi shook her head.
"Luna no baka. You forgotten that the Inners can feel us if we do. Besides they are already transformed. They are heading this way." Ru hissed back. From the bushes they hid in they watched as the creature attacked one human after another. Ru was cursing rather fluently in many languages at the how helpful they were being just watching. Tenshi was along with her but a plan formed. Especially when the Yuma brought its attention to the five boys. They both saw red.
The boys raised their guns and shot at it. Not harming it at all. It began to chuckle and made sure each bullet hit them.
'Time to play.'
Was all Tenshi had to say to Ru. They both ran from their hiding space. Tenshi put her fingers to her mouth and whistled. The Yuma turned towards it. Ru was smiling smugly trying to act brave like her papa but was shaking inside.
"You think that you creatures would get smarter as the enemies come and quickly go. If you want energy so bad go for grade A quality." Her and Tenshi both gave the thing a raspberry daring it to chase them before taking off towards the ki of the inner Senshi. Since they were taking there sweat time getting there they would have to bring it to them.
The boys could only whimper at the sight. Their weapons did nothing to this creature; it was grabbing humans and draining them. Now they were after Tenshi and Ru. Sally and Cathy came out of their hiding cursing in every language they could think of. They cast a glance back to the boys before following behind the girls and the creature. Each held one of the felines. They only had one thing on their mind.
'Those girls are going to get it when we catch up to them.'
They had been running for a good fifteen minuets. The park had to be really large and the Inners on the other side. They would have made it to them sooner if they didn't have to keep dogging the areas that were occupied by people. The fact that the inners seemed to be taking their sweet time as well didn't help much.
'Damit, Usa-mama what are we going to do? Either it is gaining or we are slowing."
Hotaru and Usagi had been taking telepathically so not to waist energy or breath by talking aloud.
Usagi stole a quick glance towards Hotaru. They were both breathing heavily. They didn't have much longer and they wouldn't even be able the raise their arms from the exhaustion. She looked a head of her and breathed a sigh of relief.
' Don't worry little one, just past those line of trees and we will be at the inners feet.' Hotaru looked ahead of them and nodded. She heard Usagi snort and looked over to her. Usagi was smirking.
'What is so funny princess?'
'Behind me I have a Yuma, in front of me are the traitors that I have to rely on for them to save us.'
Hotaru stumbled a little in her steps. She never thought of it. it made her angry and disgusted. She was going to love beating them down. Usagi broke her line of thoughts.
'Alright we break through act as if we are scared out of our minds.'
'What if it ain't an act?'
'All the more easier.'
With a last burst of energy they stumbled out of the trees in a clearing. They grabbed their knees painting eyes scanning the area. No sign of the inners but their ki told other wise. Why were they hiding? They had momentarily forgotten about the Yuma till it snuck up on them and attacked. They both went flying in the air in different directions. The Yuma leapt after Hotaru who had straitened herself and was standing. Usagi had hit a tree and slid down on her side. She could hear giggles above her. He barley opened an eye and froze. Above her were three of the inners, Venus, Jupiter and now Mars. They were looking at her and Hotaru smiling. They hadn't noticed that Usagi was aware of them. Mars looked down at her.
"So this is one of the girls that always hand out with those cute boys?"
Venus snorted. "Hai, that is Tenshi, she is Quatra, the blondes, sister."
They heard a scream from Hotaru and looked her way. The Yuma had a hold of her and was draining her.
"Should we stop it now?" Jupiter asked. Venus shook her head.
"Not yet. If these two are here then the boys won't be far behind. If we impress them by saving their so called little sisters they once we revile who we are they will be at our feet."
Usagi saw red. Slowly she got up to her feet. She wanted so badly to henshin on the spot defeat the creature and teach those treacherous bitches a lesson. The reasonable side of her head kicked in and reminded her she was no match for the three of them. She could tell from their ki level they were defiantly stronger than before.
She had to do something she wasn't going to let that thing kill Hotaru. She charged the creature leapt into the air and kicked it. She had enough force in the kick the thing dropped Hotaru and stumbled back a few paces. She grabbed onto Hotaru and tried to shake her awake. Hotaru barely opened her eyes but enough to see the Yuma looming above and behind Usagi. She tried to warn her but couldn't move. To much of her energy had been taken.
Usagi felt the Yuma behind her but it was to late. It had her and was draining her. She heard he name being shouted before everything went to a dull gray. She could hear and still see but it was as if she wasn't in her body. She looked over to Hotaru who was looking at her. She tried to reach for her but was failing. She could hear the inners begin their attacks and she panicked. It was almost as if she had to replay the whole night they attacked her. She felt something grab a hold of her hand. She jumped, looking down she seen a white hand holding hers. She smiled at Hotaru.
'Princess, with them using their attacks they won't notice us if we use a little of our power.'
She could barley hear Hotaru's words. Showing how weak they both were. She nodded knowing the last bit of energy they had keeping them awake would be used. They began to concentrate.
The others had just arrived to see Tenshi throw her self on top of Hotaru as the creature jumped on to her. They watched as Tenshi tried to struggle against the creatures hold until she went slack. They called out to her to get some response. She lifted her head a little before dropping it. the stood there not knowing what to do. A voice startled them.
"Stop right there. Hurting innocent people on a beautiful day will not go unpunished!"
The creature dropped Tenshi and turned towards the voice. Sitting in a tree they could make out three figures. The three figures launched out of the tree jumping higher than no normal human could before landing gracefully striking poses. The one in yellow/orange spoke telling them she was the one to speak before.
"In the name of the Planet, Venus"
"Jupiter."
"And Mars."
"We will punish you." They finished together. Then began to launch their attacks.
The group watched some in awe a few in anger and hatred and one was really happy. Duo was lit up like a kid at Christmas. He couldn't believe that the Senshi were real and really hot babes. None of them had a right mind to shut him up. They were to in groused with the seen before them. The three females battled with the creature. In a few seconds it was over. Venus gave the final attack before the creature reared its head and howled before disintegrating before them. The three females her giggling to each other before the one in red who called her self Mars froze. She was looking off to her right, which wasn't that far from the group. All followed her gaze. The other two Senshi froze. Directly behind Tenshi and Ru were two figures in the shadows of the trees. They could make out their silhouettes to know they were female. They could also see clearly their eyes. One had wing, hair up in to balls with the reaming hair in streamers from the two balls. It's eyes were sapphire blue that went to black with silver flecks. Her eyes looked at the three warriors saddened, and forgiving yet promising pain. The one next to her was a little shorter, had short hair that came to her shoulders and carried a G shaped glaive. Her eyes were light purple to black with silver flecks. She glared at the three warriors with only the promise of a slow painful death.
The inners froze, they couldn't believe it, they knew that their so-called princess was alive and somewhere near, but they didn't know that Saturn was with her. She was to be dead with the other outers. They also heard the princess' voice as well as Saturn's call them traitors. The voices seemed to bounce all around them in the clearing. Only they could hear it. Then the voices stopped. The two shadows turned and walked away disappearing as they did. The inners let a small sigh before looking at each other and nodding. Mercury was needed and now. They prepared to leave not before Venus stepped up to them.
"Do not worry about your friends or the other people. Once the Yuma is destroyed their energy is given back. They should awaken in few hours. " With that she turned to her other two companions as they took off jumping through the trees.
Hiiro was first to the girl's side followed by Trowa then the others. Finding indeed they were only sleeping. They gathered the girls up and headed back to the dorms confused on to what was going on and what had just happened. Not only that but now they had two cats who refuse to leave the girls side. Leaving scratches each time they were picked up.
It took Ru a good four hours before she woken up with a large headache and starving. She was just in time for dinner. Sally and Cathy had left a few hours earlier saying they would be back tomorrow to check up on them. Now all they had to do was wait for Tenshi to waken.
Tenshi had slept the whole night through as well as the most of Sunday. She would constantly toss and turn in her sleep as if she was dogging something before curling up into a ball and weeping. Everyone took turns on watching her. Hoping each time she would wake up.
It was Hiiro's turn the others had left to get something to eat. It was late afternoon. Heading for evening. Hiiro's head was resting on his chest when Tenshi woke up. She bolted staight up in bed clutching the sheets to her chest painting. Hiiro felt her move jerked awake and was now standing. He scanned the room before his eyes landed on Tenshi. His eyes softened as he sat next to her on the bed. She looked up from the sheets to him. Her eyes swirled with mix emotions before she latched onto him and cried. He was startled at first. What was he suppose to do now. None of his training prepared him for this. At least the movies Duo made them watched helped. He placed his arms around her and hugged her back.
"It is alright Usa-chan. I am here and nothing will get you." He could feel her giggling. She always did when he would call her Usa-chan when no one was around. He saw nothing wrong with it. He was happy to have someone around that was the same nationality as him. He also had respect for her. She new all the things they did and how many people they had killed yet she looked past all that to the boys they were. Lonely and needed a light to guide them out of their darkness. She was that light for him.
He felt her relax and he pulled back to look down at her. She smiled up at him showing her thanks. As they looked at each other the space between them began to get smaller. They almost kissed before racket in the hall way stopped them. The others had returned with lunch. Hiiro got up and went to Tenshi's door leaning on the doorway as the others came in. He felt Tenshi come up behind him. He was cursing himself for what he was about to do. This wasn't the first time his body had went against his thoughts and training. Duo noticed Hiiro.
"Ohayo, Hiiro-chan. How is she." Hiiro glared him before stepping into the room and to the side to let the others see Tenshi. She walked in and gave them a smile. Both Duo and Ru launched at her tackling her in a hug. The others gave her a hug Duo gave her another one.
"You feel alright?" she nodded her head watching him closely. He was acting a little weird to her. He nodded his head then glared at both Ru and Tenshi. "That is good, but are you two OUT OF YOUR MINDS!" he bellowed. " WHAT ON EARTH POSSED YOU TWO TO DO SOMETHING SO STUPID. I ALMOST HAVE A MIND TO CALL RASHID AND TELL HIM." Everyone looked at him startled. Tenshi hung her head but Ru glared back.
"You won't and you know it. Rashid would blow up at you for letting us do that. Besides who do you think you are to yell at us like that." She came back in a calm and cold voice edging near the brink of Saturn. "Everyday you five risk your lives. Need I remind you before you met us we as well fought? We saw you in trouble and wanted to help. Maybe you know how it feels now to watch you go off to another mission not knowing if any of you will be coming back." She stopped to take a breath. Duo opened his mouth but she began again. " Besides if we did not get that Yuma to follow us to those three Senshi they would have been to late to the seen and everyone would be dead. Including you five if we did not do anything."
Dou opened his mouth a couple times only to close it finally he had what he wanted to say. " HOW would YOU know about that?"
"I have seen it happen." She said icily, clenching her hands into fist causing her knuckles to go white. She then stormed out of the room.
"Ru, wait I." Duo started to go after her. Tenshi stopped him and shook her head. Sally came up. "She is right Duo, Ru needs some time alone." She then turned to Tenshi. "Duo is also right young lady." The boy's mouths dropped. Someone agreeing with Duo was rare about as rare as the outburst just shown. "Don't ever do something like that again." She smirked. "Don't think you two are out of hot water either. I called Rashid my self. " All five boys froze. Was the woman mad? Did she really want them to die?
"He is quite cross with you. It took me a bit to make sure he didn't come here his self, but he did tell me to give you a message. You two are grounded. No after school activities, right after school you two are to come to the Preventors office to work or to the Circus to lend a hand there." Her smirk widened to a cruel smile. " He also said if you had a problem with that you were to take it up with him and he will in form Dr. J. as well."
Tenshi let out a straggled groan as her head and shoulders dropped in defeat. The others were a little perplexed there were some hidden meanings to that information. Like after school activities. Neither girl had any and why would Rashid be calling Dr.J?
Sally looked at the boys. "Rashid also had another message. Let them do that again and by Allah you better hope you have a mission on the other side of the globe or in space by the time he reaches the school." Each boy gulped and nodded. Even Hiiro knew not to mess with the large man. He could just get plain scary when he wanted. Sally smiled and nodded before turning and leaving to find Ru.
It had taken her a better part of three hours to calm the deadly girl. She was standing in front of a certain black suit debating on whether to henshin and show someone who exactly was the god of death. Finally Sally calmed her down and brought her up to the dorm. When she opened the door a silver blur passed her and was hiding behind her and Ru as an angry Quatra came after it.
"Come back here!" Sally grabbed his shoulders pushing him back as Tenshi ducked back behind Ru. She looked around to find Trowa and Duo on the floor laughing, Wufei sitting at the table head in his arm laughing while pounding the table while Hiiro leaned against a wall trying not to smile while shaking his head. Cathy next to Wufei laughing into her hand. She looked back down at Quatra. He was now cursing fluently in Arabian. She thanked God she didn't know what she said but she figured Tenshi did because she could feel her getting angry.
"Slow down their partner. What has your panties in a twist." That mad Quatra snap while everyone else died of laughter. He looked up at her with the Zero gleam. He humped wrenched form her grasp turned and walked to the couch sitting down and sulked. Sally looked down and Ru. Ru only shrugged. Tenshi peaked her head around Ru and sighed. While in the forest she had opened the link with Sally and Cathy.
'While you guys were gone Quatra kept fussing over me so I started to call him a mother hen and began to imamate one just to pick on him. He was chasing me when you came in.'
Ru and Sally looked at each other. They could tell the other was trying not to laugh. Ru looked at Tenshi and smiled. Tenshi looked back at her and smiled. Sally rolled her eyes and joined Cathy at the table. She had to watch this.
Ru cleared her throat to get others attention. That didn't work so she clucked. Everyone stopped at that. Quatra looked over to the two girls to see them smiling to sweetly. He rose very slowly still glaring. Ru then proceeded to roll up her sleeves and wet her lips. Everyone was watching now. She looked around to make sure she had everyone's attention. Tenshi began to stretch her arms as Ru cleared her throat. They looked at each other then to Quatra.
" You know Quatra if you sit there sulking to much you won't be able to lay any eggs." Ru told him before her and Tenshi began to act like chickens. Quatra went after them as everyone broke down laughing. Every time they would evade Quatra they would act like chickens and Ru would begin to cluck.
In the end it took all four boys to hold down Quatra while Sally and Cathy stood in his way. They finally calmed him down and had the girls apologize. Quatra just walked to the kitchen to begin dinner.
At dinner everything was quiet. Tension was heavy in the air. Tenshi sat back in her chair and picked at her food. She didn't mean to hurt Quatra's feelings like she had, she was just teasing. Now she felt so guilty. She jumped when something hit her. Looking down on her chest was mash potatoes. She looked up to see Quatra lick the last bit of mash potatoes off and ready another fork full for Ru. He notices her and smirked at her before letting his new load fly.
"Hey." Everyone looked up to see Ru wiping potatoes form her face. She glared around the table before landing on a smirking Quatra.
"Pay back is a Bitch." Was all he said before launching again? That began a food fight. Hiiro had managed to doge everything till Dou picked up the bowl of potatoes and plopped it on Hiiro's head. Hiiro wiped some of it that had slid down into his eyes. Everyone had stopped. Tenshi next to him was giggling at the site. He looked at her then down to the mess he held in his hands before reaching over slapping his hand onto her head then rubbed it in as if he was ruffling her hair. He dropped his hand then he smirked. She froze. Very coolly she stood up he followed her every movements. She picked up the large bowl that held the rest of the soup. She then turned to him. He glared at her to try it. very slowly she poured it into his lap. It had cooled off and was cold not to mention it had some of what others had thrown.
She then covered her mouth and acted like she didn't mean to. Then she smiled at him. He reached up and took the bowl off his head. Duo made a comment, very swiftly he plopped the bowl onto her head and twisted it a few times before grabbing a roll and stuffing it into Dou's mouth. Thus the food fight began again.
The night ended with everyone cleaning up the mess and bidding good night. The boys weren't too happy. They had tried to convince Tenshi and Ru to stay home the next day and not to attend school. They both refused, which surprised them. Tenshi was not one for school. They wouldn't budge so they shrugged and went to their own rooms to clean up for the night. Sally and Cathy then left after the dishes were done. Before they left Sally reminded Tenshi of their punishment and told Ru. Then left. Ru bided Tenshi a good night and left as well.
It was now mid night and Hiiro laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling. The Doctors still had not cracked the disk. They had gotten a hold of Zechs and told him to lay low and as soon as he could to return back to the Kingdom. His mind was running over what had happened overt he past few days when he a noise attracted his attention. He saliently crept up to his window to the balcony and caught Tenshi climbing down in the same close she had on the last time she did this. He grabbed his pants and slides them over his boxers before throwing on his tank top and grabbing his jacket. He then followed Tenshi. He knew she was going back to the rink.
When he got there he found her already skating to the same song again. He listened to the song. It was Reflection from that cartoon movie Mulan Duo had them watch. He listened to the music and watches her.
Did she really feel this way? Did they not know her? As she finished he walked down to the rink side where she was.
"You are good."
She jumped at his voice before smiling up at him. She was still restless. She began to think again forgetting about him till he spoke up again.
"Teach me."
She looked at him blinking a few times. Did she hear him right? Her confusion must have shown on her face. He growled.
"No I don't know how to. It wasn't part of my training. Teach me. Please."
She nodded numbly. On the other side of the rink was the locker room and spar skates. Hiiro grabbed his side and came back the rink. She showed him how put on the skates and stand on them. Once he found his balance she dragged him onto the ice.
An hour later and millions of falls later Hiiro was finally able to skate around on his own and stop. She was going to teach him how she skate backwards next when lightning flashed. The lights went off and the thunder clashed. Tenshi grabbed a hold of Hiiro almost strangling him. He finally loosened her hold but couldn't get her off. Every time the thunder would clash she would jump and cling to him tighter.
He finally settled with getting her over to the rink side getting both their skates of and leading them back to the dorm.
When they reached the room Tenshi was sobbing into his shirt and exhausted. She was not letting go of Hiiro. He ended up having to carry her back to the dorm with her fist clutching his shirt tightly. She was wearing his jacked already. Both were sopping wet. His room was the closest so he settled with sitting her on his bed. As he tried to get he shirt loose he finally took it off. He went to the bathroom got a towel. When he got back to the room Tenshi was asleep but a fit full one. She would tremble then cower when the thunder struck. He sighed and went to his dresser pulling out and extra shirt and boxers he then dried her off and changed her. Finding his self blushing for the first time as he did. Then got another set of clean close for himself and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out Tenshi had wrapped her self in his blanket and sheets. He looked at the couch then back to his bed.
It was his bed and he was not sleeping on the couch. He pulled the covers from around her and climbed in next her and pulled the covers around them. When he settled down Tenshi buried he head into his chest and grabbed his upper arm. She began to softly snore. Hiiro was startled but at least she quit tossing and turning. He did the only thing he could think of and wrapped his arms around her and fell to asleep. Not before whispering into her hair good night. When he fell asleep Tenshi opened her eyes and smiled then fell back asleep.
Little did they know another surprise awaited them then next day in school.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@2
Hears door being busted down.
"Uh oh, Usa-Asia-chan found me. Bye."
Sorry this took a while to come out. I got a break from school. Now I can at least get this chapter out.
SORRY IF I HAVEN'T ANSWERED YOUR EMAILS OR SENT ANY. MY EMAIL IS NOT SENDING, IT CAN RECEIVE BUT NOT SEND OUT.
Usagi made her way back to the dorm through the normal route of the doors. She found Hiiro's door wide open and grinned. She could hear the clacking of his keyboard. She giggled to herself. She found it fun to scare the boys with her messages popping up out of nowhere. Though you think after all this time they would have gotten use to it by now. She stood in the doorway but just in the shadows so Hiiro wouldn't notice her at first.
Hiiro had gotten a message from the Doctors telling him they were still working on the disk. That had him angered they were supposed to be able to have this done already. What if it had the next attack and what the Hell did Zech's have to do with anything? Was he the enemy once again? He stopped working on the disk he copied himself and glared that the message that popped up.
'You are just as bad a Trowa when you glare at your computer. But it is rather cute though' that had him rattled. Trowa..me.cute all in the same sentence? The message continued.
'If you are going to follow me again like that next time you could at least tell me how I did or you could join me?'
If he hadn't been who he was he would have fallen off his chair by now. He turned to the door blinking. He saw Tenshi's silhouette through the darkness. He could see her shaking her head. She turned and headed towards her room. He looked back down.
'Like I said before your reactions are too cute. Good night soldier boy.'
He starred at the computer like it all of a sudden grew arms and legs and was dancing around. In another words he was shocked. Never had anyone called him cute and solider boy.well if you count the stalker. Which he didn't. Before Tenshi was totally gone from his site he called her back.
"I heard an American speaking Japanese earlier today."
Usagi shrugged. She was going to have to think quickly about this. The others weren't supposed to know about the lesson's that she and Duo have been teaching each other. Now even Hotaru has helped. She helps with his speech. But lately Duo had thought it funny to start speaking one or two words of Nihon-jin (Japanese) in front to the guys.
'Yes he did. Demo you talk to him all the time in Japanese just to spite him. He probably picked it up from that.'
Before he could say anything else she left. He knitted his eyebrows together. The words the braided boy had been speaking of late would not come out of the mouths that spoke the language to him. Never before had he heard the words for joy and such spoke from him or the others. Though Ru would say something in Nihon-jin he was sure there was no way the boy could pick it up. It had taken him forever to figure out what the words were they pilots called him (baka, bakayaro, ect). Hell he thought at first baka was a complement.
He shook his head there was something else to figure out. Never before had he had so many mysteries to find out. Fist it was Tenshi, who would cause so much pain to her, why and who was she really? He couldn't find anything on her let alone Ru. She was also a mystery. Then there was the new faction. Though well organized and quickly climbing the corporate and political ladder there still was no sign of a visible leader. There was also this new Gunadam and Pilot. He still couldn't shake the feeling of recognition with the machine. The doctors were no help they gave him nothing. Now Duo's ability to speak Japanese out of the blue it was beginning to catch up with him and tire him out yet excite him at the same time.
This night was turning out to be too much for him. He looked at the clock. He had a little more than an hour or two at the most before Duo would come crashing in to wake them. He looked back down to his computer and sighed. The disk would have to wait. He needed sleep.
The next morning the guys waited in the courtyard around the fountain for Hiiro and Tenshi. They had been there almost an hour. This was unlike the Solider and Tenshi. Ru had gotten tired of waiting after five minutes saying something like 'that girl is always late for everything.' Which in some ways was true. Occasionally Tenshi was known to be late but not all the time. Ru acted like she didn't it non-stop. They were suppose to go and meet Catherine, Trowa's sister from the circus. It was in town and Trowa wanted Tenshi and Ru to meet her and vise versa. When Cathy had called to tell them he was coming he was excited he hadn't seen her in almost a year. He almost gave the girl a heart attack when he began to tell her all about Tenshi and Ru. Well what he wasn't sworn to tell. Cathy was shocked. Trowa was saying more that three sentences and it was about two girls he considered his little sisters even thought they teased him by calling him Tousan (father). She was speechless. She got over it and demanded that Trowa bring the two girls to meet her the day they got there.
Two figures came out of the building for the dorms. One was holding something to her face. When they got closer it was Hiiro and Ru. She had an ice pack against her eye. Duo got a little hot at that. For some reason he had begun to like the girl even when they had their fights about whom and what gender the great Shinigami was. He glared at Hiiro.
"You hit her?" Hiiro glared back. Ru stepped in rolling her eyes.
"No Duo. Tenshi hit me. I tried to wake her up. I found Hiiro trying to get into her room. she wasn't getting up she had kicked him out and locked the door. I went through the balcony and tried to wake her up. She got mad and decked me mumbling something about school can wait." She shrugged.
" Why on earth would she do something like that?" Quatra asked chewing on his bottom lip.
" She said she had only gotten a half hours sleep last night and whatever you guys wanted to do today you had better do it with out her and she doesn't care what complaints you have against it." She told them. She stared at the raised eyebrows and frowns. She knew exactly how to get the reluctant princess up. Not even food had gotten her out of bed.
"She even told me that there was no way that any of you were going to get her up of bed. It was beyond your power." All five glared and frowned at that but it did perk up their interest. There wasn't much that wasn't out of their power. A slight breeze came up sending a mist from the fountain across them they turned the COLD fountain then to each other grinning or smirking in a few cases. Duo and Wufei, being on of the fastest of the group (don't know why though) took off for the nearest janitor closet. They came rushing back with buckets. They began to fill ten buckets with the cold, nasty fountain water. They didn't know it but someone was watching.
Usagi had gotten up after she had heard Hiiro and Hotaru leave. She felt guilty. She shouldn't have reacted the way she did. She was tired and everything was beginning to catch up with her. Not that she had thought they were waking her up to go to school helped. That left her blushing harder than from her blushing from her stupidity. She climbed out of bed and headed for the balcony to see if the others weren't to mad. From where she stood she could read all of their lips. She frowned a little when Hotaru smirked and told them waking her up was beyond their power and when Duo and Wufei took off and came back with buckets. She could see the mirth on Hotaru's face and she grinned.
'If they want to play then lets play. This should teach them not to mess with the master.'
Her plan was simple but it always got the desired effects. She dressed in her usual ten-second style then dashed out into the dorm getting all she needed to fulfill her plans.
They didn't know how they did it but they made it up to the dorm with all ten 20 gallon buckets (and those things are heavy. You should try and carry one or two around full of soapy water as punishment. I am stating it here and now never get you mother mad when she works for a R.V. retailer. Cleaning the inside is bad enough but to clean the whole out side.gggaaahhh!).
They made Hotaru go in and make sure she was still a sleep. She rolled her eyes of course they wanted her to go in and get punched. Normally a punch wouldn't harm the little girl. She had been through worse but being punched by the most powerful being in the universe. That would defiantly leave a mark.
"Bunch of scared little babies." She received glares for that. She only glared back.
"No offence, Ru-chan, " Duo spoke up for the group. " We have know Tenshi for a quite a bit now and one of the first things we learned is don't mess with her when she hasn't slept good or eaten or is in a really bad mood. Besides these are really HEAVY so HURRY up already!" The other four gave small nods. Hotaru had to chuckle at that. It was one of the first things people did learn about her Princess. She smiled when she remembered Haruka had to learn that the hard way. She tried to wake up Usagi one time when she only had gotten a few minutes of sleep. The punch she got left Haruka with a black eye for three weeks. That left the wind Senshi in shock for almost two days before she snapped out of it and became and over joyed like a kid that found a truckload of candy with its name on it. She was happy that she had someone her level to spar with that was at her 'level'.
The guys had noticed that Ru had gone into a trance like Tenshi would when they first met her. She still did from time to time but nothing like she use to. Ru snapped out of it and looked at the boys shaking her head. She opened the door and stepped in.
"Fine if I die I am coming back to haunt you for the rest of your lives." Duo grinned at that statement while the others rolled their eyes.
Ru opened the door and slipped in quietly as she could. She headed for Tenshi's room when she heard it. Some one behind her was 'tsk'ing at her. Her eyes went wide as the flung her self around. She found a very amused Tenshi smiling her 'I am up to no good' smile. Fear crept through the small girl. Then she felt it. Something wet and gooey hit her head from above. Looking up she mentally kicked her self. How could she have walked into this literally? She looked down at Tenshi pleadingly. Tenshi's grin grew bigger.
'I am truly sorry about hitting you. You know I am, demo to let them wake me up with COLD, DIRTY, SLIMEY, SMELLY, FOUNTAIN WATER! You have the pay the consequences of messing with the master of universe of pranks. (Thank you but that is my title but I am letting her borrow it for right now.) '
Tenshi pulled a cord and let the bottom of the box above Ru fall. As soon as the contents hit the target she let out a scream. Causing the boys in the hallway to rush in.
" Wait! Iie." Ru's please went unheard of as the boys came skidding in and received the same punishment as Ru. They groaned when they looked up to see Tenshi looking down at them clapping. They also recognized the prank at there less than gracefull attempts to regain footing or hold what footing they had. It was the same one she had used on Quatra when they first arrived back to the mansion. She threw down a white card before she took off out of the dorm closing the door. She didn't want the guys to get up and pull her into the mess.
Hiiro groaned. The mess was going to take forever to clean up. He let his headland on the floor. That is when he realized he wasn't looking at the normal wood floor but at white plastic. He mentally thanked the Kami's that she had thought of that. He glanced over to the note that Duo was holding. None of the others were in a position to see the back of the card. If they did all the hard work he had put in would go to waist. Duo had read the card out loud already and was about to turn it over. Panic gripped Hiiro he tore the thing from Duo and ripped into as many pieces as he could. The others looked at him like he grew another head. (I am going to let your imagination think up what was written on the card)
"I know the note was bad, Hii-man demo don't you think that was bit far." Duo grinned. Hiiro glared at the boy before getting up and making his way to the bathroom. The others each made their ways to their rooms to change and get clean. They emerged after almost two hours of cleaning. Trowa had to call Cathy and tell her they would be a little late due to some "family" problems. They made their way back down towards the fountain. They found Tenshi lying on the fountain side looking up at the clouds. They had the temptation to push her in but didn't want to deal with the time loss of her having to change and clean up. After waking her up from her apparent daydreaming they dragged Tenshi over to the waiting car that would take them to the café they were to meet Cathy at.
It took twenty minutes to get to the café, which was near the heart of the town. Nothing had happened for once on this little ride. Duo and Wufei were actually sitting next to each other and not arguing, teasing or killing. Of course a very intimidating Trowa had nothing to do with it. He had told them they would deal with him if anyone did not behave. No one was spared from the glare he had given them. He was telling them all. He wanted to make a good impression with Tenshi and Ru. After that things could go back to normal.
When they climbed out if it wasn't for the fact that Ru was holding Tenshi's hand and they were still leaning up against the car they would have fainted. Before them was a café they new all to well. How it was there they didn't know. Why? They had a pretty good idea why. And if café were here so would be the arcade and the control room.
Tenshi and Ru looked at each other. Worry and fear was evident in there eyes but for Trowa and the others they had to put up there battle faces. They plastered smiles on their faces before coming up to Trowa and linking arms with him and dragging him in with the others in tow.
A woman sat at a table in a corner. She looked outside as a black car pulled up and the pilots came out. The last to come out was two girls. One silver the other black. She smiled to her self.
"So they are the one?" to anyone she seemed to be talking to herself. But an English voice answered back in a whisper.
"It is she! We have found her! We must speak to her and the other one alone."
The women gave a small nod of the head. She was more occupied with the reactions of the two girls once they seen the café. What would make them frightened of a café? She watched as the put on smile and latched onto a surprised Trowa that in turned....Smile? She about fainted. Trowa was right these girls were something if they gotten him to smile. She smiled to herself and as the boys came in she replied to the voice from before.
"Mission Accepted." She raised her hand and waved it. "Oi! Trowa-tachi over here." He nodded towards her and lead the way with the others following. She stood and gave him a quick hug. She looked down at the two girls, which startled her at first. She knew they were small but not that small especially for being only teenagers.
"Hello I am Catharine but you can call me Cathy. Especially since you gotten these five to open up and be normal boys." She grinned at the comments or lack of ones she gotten. Just then another figure walked up.
"Ah I see they finally arrived." The group turned to see Sally Po.
" What are you doing her onna?" Sally laughed at his comment and when both Tenshi and Ru smacked the back of his head.
" I was talking with Cathy earlier and she invited me. Why don't you girls introduce yours selves." They gave her a smile and nodded. Ru spun around and stuck her hand out.
"Hi, I am Ru. I can't see how Tousan can be your brother your pretty." She smirked. Cathy giggled, Duo was trying to hide laughter, and Wufei smirked. Quatra and Trowa looked down at her shocked.
"Ru!" they both said. She turned her innocent puppy eyes up at them and put her head to the side.
" What?" Trowa glared at her Quatra shook his head. Cathy turned her attention to the other girl.
" You must be Tenshi?" she nodded in response. Cathy grinned she turned to the others. "Why don't we go some where less.."
"In destructive?" Sally finished for her. She got five sets of glares for that one. Cathy and Ru were laughing. Tenshi had her attention locked on a bag in the seats. Something familiar was coming form that bag and she couldn't place it.
Ru notice Tenshi's attention was elsewhere. She followed her gaze. That was when she felt it. Not sure what but something was defiantly in there. She looked up to Tenshi who was looking at her.
'You felt it to, Ru-chan?'
'Hai, princess. It is something familiar and I can't place it. Since I came her my perception of things are becoming off.'
Tenshi gave a short nod before turning to others to see them bickering, but still being lead out of the café. She gave a mental sigh. Hopefully the next place would take away some memories and lessen the chance of a run in. how fate could be cruel to her she was not sure. She and Ru stood before the same arcade they were thinking of earlier. Crown was written on the sign above. They each let out a small groan low enough not to alert the others. Al though the bickering of a few was giving stopped them from hearing anything else. They looked back down at each other and shrugged and followed the others inside. The others had stopped as soon as the entered looked around then back to the two women who lead them here. Sally was trying very hard not to laugh and Cathy just grinned.
"I figured here certain youth could be entertained while the older youths conversed." The boys turned to glare at someone the comment was for but found a certain American missing. They heard his hoots and hollers of glee deep inside the arcade. Then they heard a crash and Duo's apologies and eeps.
"Let's save his braided onna ass." Wufei told them before smirking. "Besides I get first dibs on killing him." The boy rolled their eyes and followed Duo's voice. The two women turned to Tenshi and Ru who were looking around amazed how big the arcade had grown and seemed to be looking for someone.
"There is also another reason we brought them here.." Catherine began but was once again cut off not by Sally but by a mating call of a psycho. The two women grinned. Certain people these two girls did not want to see would be perfect distraction. They would help keep the boys at bay while they talked.
Sally picked up for Cathy. "You see girls we have to talk to you alone. We were given orders to help you and we have a surprise." She glanced form the girls back towards the arcades depths. "Lets make haste and leave before they come and get us. They must not hear for we know you haven't told them." Her voice turned more courtly.
Tenshi and Ru were on the alert now. These two knew or know of something they should not.
'Princess, I am worried. I feel no vibes that I do from the inners from these two. They are of loyalty and of the silver millennium.'
Tenshi was stunned. The loyalty had got her but the silver millennium. Only ones from that time had the feeling of it and she and two others were the only ones to feel that vibe from them. One being the girl next to her and the third would be the keeper of time.
'I feel it as well. Lets follow these two. Keep you guard up and gun ready and henshin wand. Pray to Allah and to the Kamis that will not be needing either.'
'Hai!'
Hotaru looked form Tenshi to the women. "Alright lets go to the park. That way we can be alone and yet the boys can still find us" that and we will be around people if need be. She said to herself. Tenshi snorted and told her the boys could find her even if they weren't anywhere in the open.
Sally and Cathy understood the girl's predicament. They would consider anyone a possible threat. They led the way allowing the girls to see before them. They stopped once they were near the center of the park. They nodded off to a wooded area not to far from the main path. (Okay Cathy and sally are called women Ru and Tenshi the girls kay?) The girls nodded in affirmation while looking around for any traps.
Once they had reach the spot the women turned to the two girls. Immediately they dropped to their knees before Tenshi. Who in turn turned red and looked around to make sure no one saw this.
"Forgive us princess, "Cathy began. " We have only just received our memories."
"If we had them any sooner we would have came to you at once. We did not mean for you to be lonely."
At this Usagi was confused and frightened.
'Ru, what are they talking about?'
"Exactly who are you to be addressing the Tsuki no Hime? How do you know of her?" Hotaru barked bitterly at the two. They winced at her voice. The bag next to Cathy began to move. On instinct both girls brought out their guns and aimed. What came out was something they did not expect.
At first the creatures were shocked before one decided she had to have one of her "fits".
"Tomoe Hotaru, if your parents heard you talk that way!" the British voice turned to Usagi. "You young lady! I am ashamed at you! You are not to be holding guns."
Usagi was shaking bad when Hotaru showed now she was almost a mess. The gun dropped to the ground from her hands and her knees followed not long after. She stared with her mouth flapping tears of joy streamed down her face. Hotaru kneeled down beside her. As soon as she did the two felines leaped into their arms bawling them selves.
The two women watched happily. It had been so long since they had seen their princess smile.
"Luna, Airtimes, I think it is time to tell them of who we are." Cathy told them. The girls looked up confused before looking down at the cats. ( I like both of Luna's voices, but I have grown to like the British one a bit more.) Tenshi gasped and nearly fainted. Luna had cuts all over her; her fur no longer had its shine (not the word Wufei says for death). She was covered in dirt and grim. Looking over at the white cat he was similar but not as bad. Of course he didn't have the link Luna had with her, his was smaller. That would cause him to be treated less than Luna. That and being Venus' guardian didn't help. She would have to watch him.
Hotaru noticed it as well and thanked the kami's that the inners could not feel her healing powers. She picked up the black cat and held both of them tight to her a hint of purple light flashed around the cats. When it died down most of the wounds were healed. They were still dirty but healing wouldn't fix that just a good bath.
"Thank you Hotaru." The white cat spoke up smiling. Hotaru smiled down at him.
" You are welcome, demo call me Ru Seishi and Usagi, Tenshi Winner while here. The inners must not know of us." She looked up at the two women smiling. No longer were they a threat. She looked over to Usagi.
"Tenshi, relax. It is all right now. Till the other outers return us five will protect you." she looks at women again. "For some reason there is a strong connection with these two and the outer planets." Both girls looked at the smiling women.
"Princess I am surprised you don't remember us." Sally said teasingly before turning back to Ru. "You are right little one we are connected with the outer planets. We would prove it by showing our birthmark. Only that would lead the inners to know of our existence."
The girls nodded in understanding.
Cathy smiled; "Sally Po and myself were the ones from the outer planets that were sent to help raise the princess and protect her when her so called guards could not. " she ended bitterly. " Princess we ask for forgiveness not only did we fail you once but is seems twice." Usagi's eyes went wide and she shock her he head. For some reason pictures of Haurka and Michiru flashed through her head. Could it be?
Cathy giggled. " I see you found a connection. We are the first princess' of Uranus and Neptune. For some reason we carry the birthmark but the power passed from us to our younger siblings. Haruka and Michiru. They are the ones who carry the name of our planets and rule them. We do have some power. When we heard of the Princess' birth we begged the Queen to allow us to be her nanny's. Besides how else could we tell the Outer Senshi of their beloved Queen and Princess who they were to never see."
Memories flooded Usagi. She clutched her head with pain and had to concentrate on not letting any of her power get out of hand. When the pain subdued she was painting. She looked up at the two older women crying. She lunged at them and sobbed. Hotaru sat stunned. She knew of the older two but did not know she would meet them. She never for saw this. Pluto-mamma or some other source had to be blocking her from this.
"If you are Haruka-papa and Michiru-mamma's sisters, does that make you my aunts?" the two older women stopped at that. Mamma.. papa.. what in the world? Usagi noticed their faces she turned to the other three. The all began to laugh at the women.
Sally frowned, " It sounds as if my stubborn headed sister still thinks of her self as a man." She turned to Hotaru glaring showing indeed she was related to the senshi no wind. " What do you mean by Papa and mamma there little one and why are you awakened and the world intact?"
The girls settled down and told the story starting from when Usagi first became Sailormoon to now. Hotaru couldn't even resist and had to tell them of Haruka's evident mouth, which both women swore to wash out. That both girls and cats had to see. It got the older women off the fact she had picked up some of her papa's bad habits. After the story the Women sat stunned and angered at what the so-called guards had done and what the princess had been through. The girls talked for a few hours before any sign of the boys came.
Ru was laughing so hard she was having a hard time telling her story. " T- th-then Michiru-mama..oh god..s-s-sshe then yelled at." she was cut off when they heard Dou's loud voice whinnying. All six of them stopped and listened.
"I thought you said you could track her Hiiro!" Duo whinnied again. They could picture Hiiro glaring at him itching to pull his gun out and shoot.
"Well I know they are here. I heard their voices earlier." Quatra's voices came through obviously stopping any more conflicts from happening. The voices of the boys came closer the four females looked at each other and grinned. Tenshi pulled out a paint ball gun from her subspace pocket and nodded. Ru scooped up the two cats and told them of what was going to take place. Tenshi stepped back and disappeared into the trees.
"I don't know if I should be worried they don't shoot her or if I should be taking pictures?" Sally said out loud to no one in particular. Cathy shook her head and Ru grinned.
"Yap, your Haruka-papa's sister alright." Sally raised an eyebrow as the young girl giggled. The made their way back to the main walk way and to the boys. When they neared the prepared them selves before leaping out of the bush and acting like they had been running hard form something.
"Catharine what is it?" Trowa sounded panicked. He and the others glanced around to find anything.
"Have you seen Tenshi?" Ru squeaked out. " We lost her when they." she stopped as her eyes got bigger staring at something behind the boys. The other two females did the same. The boys froze, they could feel it someone or something was behind them and was armed. They heard a familiar click of a safety. They raised their hands in the air slowly in the air before turning around. When they did they mentally groaned and kicked them selves. They had fallen for another trick. Today wasn't their day at all. This was the second time they fell trap to Tenshi's tricks, it took them almost a good two hours to get Ririna and her bodyguards to let them go from their grips. What next?
The three females behind them were laughing and rolling on the ground. Tenshi smirked at the boys and gave a small bow to the boys. They lowered their arms and groaned as they also noticed the gun she happened to be caring. She began to smile slowly an all to familiar smile. They really didn't want to have to change again but what could they do? Tenshi's aims out ranked any of theirs as did her speed and agility that had them blow away.
She looked at each of the boys before looking pas them to the laughing girls she focused back up to the boys and arched an eyebrow. They blinked and grins or slight grins crossed their faces. They each gave a small nod. Her grin grew bigger. She pulled the trigger quickly three times. All laughter died down when the ammunition hit its targets. They boys looked back behind them.
On the ground were three very stunned females and two cats that seemed to be hanging their heads in shame. The female's eyes narrowed before turning the glares to the shooter who in turned gave a mocking bow. The three jumped up looked at each other and charged Tenshi. She smiled and ran at them before sliding under their feet causing them to trip and roll head over heal into the pond. Tenshi stood and dusted herself off before turning around to look at the other three females. When she did she found they weren't their standing but floating in the pond giving her glares of certain death. She swallowed hard. She didn't mean for that to happen. She watched as the glares darken and the boys laughed at them. Duo and Quatra were leaning on each other while Wufei and Trowa were on their knees laughing while clutching their middles. Hiiro's face was red from holding in laughter even though his shoulders shook. He would not break his mask even for that or give Duo anything to tease him about.
"IF YOU ARE QUITE FINNISHED." Ru snapped out. The boys stopped looked at them laughed a bit more before gathering themselves together and walking towards the dock to help them out.
Of course that wasn't what happened. Trowa leaned down to help Cathy up as Quatra helped Sally and Wufei helped Ru. With quick tugs from the girls it sent a chain reaction that lead to all five pilots in the water with them. Tenshi once again couldn't resists she put her fingers to her mouth and whistled while clapping.
They turned to her a grinned. Tenshi stopped what she was doing and froze. She froze for two reason's one the body's climbing out of the water and evil she felt coming from not far behind her as well as three familiar ki. Her heart leapt to her throat. Now there were three of them. Oh Kami. She looked over to Ru who was frozen as well. The others frozen when they notice Tenshi staring at them frightened and trembling. They were confused. Then Ru sucked in her breath and froze as well. Her and Tenshi seemed to be having a conversation with their eyes. That is when they heard it. from the other side of the trees they heard people screaming. Something snapped inside of Tenshi and Ru.
Tenshi spun around and in the same instance Ru was at her side. They heard the screams again. The boys grabbed their guns and were taking off passing Ru and Tenshi and into the woods. Cathy and Sally came up beside them.
" Ru what is it? What is going on?" Cathy asked panicked. She new those screams they weren't those of being attacked by terrorist but of evil far greater than that.
Four words came from Ru's mouth. They sounded dripping with death. Obviously the Solider of Death made a slight appearance. Frightening the older two women.
"Senshi. Yuma. Play time."
Ru glanced up at Tenshi and grabbed her hand with a squeeze of reassurance. Tenshi looked down and smiled before placing on her mask she only wore for missions. She smirked.
'Mission accepted.'
The two tore off along the same path the pilots had just use with the two women and cats in tow. The arrived to the center of the park to find five stunned boys guns forgotten. Before them stood what could only be described as a Yuma. It towered over everyone by a few feet, covered in fur yet it didn't have a real form to it. Bodies were littered around it where it had drained them.
"Transform!" Luna hissed at the girls.
Tenshi shook her head.
"Luna no baka. You forgotten that the Inners can feel us if we do. Besides they are already transformed. They are heading this way." Ru hissed back. From the bushes they hid in they watched as the creature attacked one human after another. Ru was cursing rather fluently in many languages at the how helpful they were being just watching. Tenshi was along with her but a plan formed. Especially when the Yuma brought its attention to the five boys. They both saw red.
The boys raised their guns and shot at it. Not harming it at all. It began to chuckle and made sure each bullet hit them.
'Time to play.'
Was all Tenshi had to say to Ru. They both ran from their hiding space. Tenshi put her fingers to her mouth and whistled. The Yuma turned towards it. Ru was smiling smugly trying to act brave like her papa but was shaking inside.
"You think that you creatures would get smarter as the enemies come and quickly go. If you want energy so bad go for grade A quality." Her and Tenshi both gave the thing a raspberry daring it to chase them before taking off towards the ki of the inner Senshi. Since they were taking there sweat time getting there they would have to bring it to them.
The boys could only whimper at the sight. Their weapons did nothing to this creature; it was grabbing humans and draining them. Now they were after Tenshi and Ru. Sally and Cathy came out of their hiding cursing in every language they could think of. They cast a glance back to the boys before following behind the girls and the creature. Each held one of the felines. They only had one thing on their mind.
'Those girls are going to get it when we catch up to them.'
They had been running for a good fifteen minuets. The park had to be really large and the Inners on the other side. They would have made it to them sooner if they didn't have to keep dogging the areas that were occupied by people. The fact that the inners seemed to be taking their sweet time as well didn't help much.
'Damit, Usa-mama what are we going to do? Either it is gaining or we are slowing."
Hotaru and Usagi had been taking telepathically so not to waist energy or breath by talking aloud.
Usagi stole a quick glance towards Hotaru. They were both breathing heavily. They didn't have much longer and they wouldn't even be able the raise their arms from the exhaustion. She looked a head of her and breathed a sigh of relief.
' Don't worry little one, just past those line of trees and we will be at the inners feet.' Hotaru looked ahead of them and nodded. She heard Usagi snort and looked over to her. Usagi was smirking.
'What is so funny princess?'
'Behind me I have a Yuma, in front of me are the traitors that I have to rely on for them to save us.'
Hotaru stumbled a little in her steps. She never thought of it. it made her angry and disgusted. She was going to love beating them down. Usagi broke her line of thoughts.
'Alright we break through act as if we are scared out of our minds.'
'What if it ain't an act?'
'All the more easier.'
With a last burst of energy they stumbled out of the trees in a clearing. They grabbed their knees painting eyes scanning the area. No sign of the inners but their ki told other wise. Why were they hiding? They had momentarily forgotten about the Yuma till it snuck up on them and attacked. They both went flying in the air in different directions. The Yuma leapt after Hotaru who had straitened herself and was standing. Usagi had hit a tree and slid down on her side. She could hear giggles above her. He barley opened an eye and froze. Above her were three of the inners, Venus, Jupiter and now Mars. They were looking at her and Hotaru smiling. They hadn't noticed that Usagi was aware of them. Mars looked down at her.
"So this is one of the girls that always hand out with those cute boys?"
Venus snorted. "Hai, that is Tenshi, she is Quatra, the blondes, sister."
They heard a scream from Hotaru and looked her way. The Yuma had a hold of her and was draining her.
"Should we stop it now?" Jupiter asked. Venus shook her head.
"Not yet. If these two are here then the boys won't be far behind. If we impress them by saving their so called little sisters they once we revile who we are they will be at our feet."
Usagi saw red. Slowly she got up to her feet. She wanted so badly to henshin on the spot defeat the creature and teach those treacherous bitches a lesson. The reasonable side of her head kicked in and reminded her she was no match for the three of them. She could tell from their ki level they were defiantly stronger than before.
She had to do something she wasn't going to let that thing kill Hotaru. She charged the creature leapt into the air and kicked it. She had enough force in the kick the thing dropped Hotaru and stumbled back a few paces. She grabbed onto Hotaru and tried to shake her awake. Hotaru barely opened her eyes but enough to see the Yuma looming above and behind Usagi. She tried to warn her but couldn't move. To much of her energy had been taken.
Usagi felt the Yuma behind her but it was to late. It had her and was draining her. She heard he name being shouted before everything went to a dull gray. She could hear and still see but it was as if she wasn't in her body. She looked over to Hotaru who was looking at her. She tried to reach for her but was failing. She could hear the inners begin their attacks and she panicked. It was almost as if she had to replay the whole night they attacked her. She felt something grab a hold of her hand. She jumped, looking down she seen a white hand holding hers. She smiled at Hotaru.
'Princess, with them using their attacks they won't notice us if we use a little of our power.'
She could barley hear Hotaru's words. Showing how weak they both were. She nodded knowing the last bit of energy they had keeping them awake would be used. They began to concentrate.
The others had just arrived to see Tenshi throw her self on top of Hotaru as the creature jumped on to her. They watched as Tenshi tried to struggle against the creatures hold until she went slack. They called out to her to get some response. She lifted her head a little before dropping it. the stood there not knowing what to do. A voice startled them.
"Stop right there. Hurting innocent people on a beautiful day will not go unpunished!"
The creature dropped Tenshi and turned towards the voice. Sitting in a tree they could make out three figures. The three figures launched out of the tree jumping higher than no normal human could before landing gracefully striking poses. The one in yellow/orange spoke telling them she was the one to speak before.
"In the name of the Planet, Venus"
"Jupiter."
"And Mars."
"We will punish you." They finished together. Then began to launch their attacks.
The group watched some in awe a few in anger and hatred and one was really happy. Duo was lit up like a kid at Christmas. He couldn't believe that the Senshi were real and really hot babes. None of them had a right mind to shut him up. They were to in groused with the seen before them. The three females battled with the creature. In a few seconds it was over. Venus gave the final attack before the creature reared its head and howled before disintegrating before them. The three females her giggling to each other before the one in red who called her self Mars froze. She was looking off to her right, which wasn't that far from the group. All followed her gaze. The other two Senshi froze. Directly behind Tenshi and Ru were two figures in the shadows of the trees. They could make out their silhouettes to know they were female. They could also see clearly their eyes. One had wing, hair up in to balls with the reaming hair in streamers from the two balls. It's eyes were sapphire blue that went to black with silver flecks. Her eyes looked at the three warriors saddened, and forgiving yet promising pain. The one next to her was a little shorter, had short hair that came to her shoulders and carried a G shaped glaive. Her eyes were light purple to black with silver flecks. She glared at the three warriors with only the promise of a slow painful death.
The inners froze, they couldn't believe it, they knew that their so-called princess was alive and somewhere near, but they didn't know that Saturn was with her. She was to be dead with the other outers. They also heard the princess' voice as well as Saturn's call them traitors. The voices seemed to bounce all around them in the clearing. Only they could hear it. Then the voices stopped. The two shadows turned and walked away disappearing as they did. The inners let a small sigh before looking at each other and nodding. Mercury was needed and now. They prepared to leave not before Venus stepped up to them.
"Do not worry about your friends or the other people. Once the Yuma is destroyed their energy is given back. They should awaken in few hours. " With that she turned to her other two companions as they took off jumping through the trees.
Hiiro was first to the girl's side followed by Trowa then the others. Finding indeed they were only sleeping. They gathered the girls up and headed back to the dorms confused on to what was going on and what had just happened. Not only that but now they had two cats who refuse to leave the girls side. Leaving scratches each time they were picked up.
It took Ru a good four hours before she woken up with a large headache and starving. She was just in time for dinner. Sally and Cathy had left a few hours earlier saying they would be back tomorrow to check up on them. Now all they had to do was wait for Tenshi to waken.
Tenshi had slept the whole night through as well as the most of Sunday. She would constantly toss and turn in her sleep as if she was dogging something before curling up into a ball and weeping. Everyone took turns on watching her. Hoping each time she would wake up.
It was Hiiro's turn the others had left to get something to eat. It was late afternoon. Heading for evening. Hiiro's head was resting on his chest when Tenshi woke up. She bolted staight up in bed clutching the sheets to her chest painting. Hiiro felt her move jerked awake and was now standing. He scanned the room before his eyes landed on Tenshi. His eyes softened as he sat next to her on the bed. She looked up from the sheets to him. Her eyes swirled with mix emotions before she latched onto him and cried. He was startled at first. What was he suppose to do now. None of his training prepared him for this. At least the movies Duo made them watched helped. He placed his arms around her and hugged her back.
"It is alright Usa-chan. I am here and nothing will get you." He could feel her giggling. She always did when he would call her Usa-chan when no one was around. He saw nothing wrong with it. He was happy to have someone around that was the same nationality as him. He also had respect for her. She new all the things they did and how many people they had killed yet she looked past all that to the boys they were. Lonely and needed a light to guide them out of their darkness. She was that light for him.
He felt her relax and he pulled back to look down at her. She smiled up at him showing her thanks. As they looked at each other the space between them began to get smaller. They almost kissed before racket in the hall way stopped them. The others had returned with lunch. Hiiro got up and went to Tenshi's door leaning on the doorway as the others came in. He felt Tenshi come up behind him. He was cursing himself for what he was about to do. This wasn't the first time his body had went against his thoughts and training. Duo noticed Hiiro.
"Ohayo, Hiiro-chan. How is she." Hiiro glared him before stepping into the room and to the side to let the others see Tenshi. She walked in and gave them a smile. Both Duo and Ru launched at her tackling her in a hug. The others gave her a hug Duo gave her another one.
"You feel alright?" she nodded her head watching him closely. He was acting a little weird to her. He nodded his head then glared at both Ru and Tenshi. "That is good, but are you two OUT OF YOUR MINDS!" he bellowed. " WHAT ON EARTH POSSED YOU TWO TO DO SOMETHING SO STUPID. I ALMOST HAVE A MIND TO CALL RASHID AND TELL HIM." Everyone looked at him startled. Tenshi hung her head but Ru glared back.
"You won't and you know it. Rashid would blow up at you for letting us do that. Besides who do you think you are to yell at us like that." She came back in a calm and cold voice edging near the brink of Saturn. "Everyday you five risk your lives. Need I remind you before you met us we as well fought? We saw you in trouble and wanted to help. Maybe you know how it feels now to watch you go off to another mission not knowing if any of you will be coming back." She stopped to take a breath. Duo opened his mouth but she began again. " Besides if we did not get that Yuma to follow us to those three Senshi they would have been to late to the seen and everyone would be dead. Including you five if we did not do anything."
Dou opened his mouth a couple times only to close it finally he had what he wanted to say. " HOW would YOU know about that?"
"I have seen it happen." She said icily, clenching her hands into fist causing her knuckles to go white. She then stormed out of the room.
"Ru, wait I." Duo started to go after her. Tenshi stopped him and shook her head. Sally came up. "She is right Duo, Ru needs some time alone." She then turned to Tenshi. "Duo is also right young lady." The boy's mouths dropped. Someone agreeing with Duo was rare about as rare as the outburst just shown. "Don't ever do something like that again." She smirked. "Don't think you two are out of hot water either. I called Rashid my self. " All five boys froze. Was the woman mad? Did she really want them to die?
"He is quite cross with you. It took me a bit to make sure he didn't come here his self, but he did tell me to give you a message. You two are grounded. No after school activities, right after school you two are to come to the Preventors office to work or to the Circus to lend a hand there." Her smirk widened to a cruel smile. " He also said if you had a problem with that you were to take it up with him and he will in form Dr. J. as well."
Tenshi let out a straggled groan as her head and shoulders dropped in defeat. The others were a little perplexed there were some hidden meanings to that information. Like after school activities. Neither girl had any and why would Rashid be calling Dr.J?
Sally looked at the boys. "Rashid also had another message. Let them do that again and by Allah you better hope you have a mission on the other side of the globe or in space by the time he reaches the school." Each boy gulped and nodded. Even Hiiro knew not to mess with the large man. He could just get plain scary when he wanted. Sally smiled and nodded before turning and leaving to find Ru.
It had taken her a better part of three hours to calm the deadly girl. She was standing in front of a certain black suit debating on whether to henshin and show someone who exactly was the god of death. Finally Sally calmed her down and brought her up to the dorm. When she opened the door a silver blur passed her and was hiding behind her and Ru as an angry Quatra came after it.
"Come back here!" Sally grabbed his shoulders pushing him back as Tenshi ducked back behind Ru. She looked around to find Trowa and Duo on the floor laughing, Wufei sitting at the table head in his arm laughing while pounding the table while Hiiro leaned against a wall trying not to smile while shaking his head. Cathy next to Wufei laughing into her hand. She looked back down at Quatra. He was now cursing fluently in Arabian. She thanked God she didn't know what she said but she figured Tenshi did because she could feel her getting angry.
"Slow down their partner. What has your panties in a twist." That mad Quatra snap while everyone else died of laughter. He looked up at her with the Zero gleam. He humped wrenched form her grasp turned and walked to the couch sitting down and sulked. Sally looked down and Ru. Ru only shrugged. Tenshi peaked her head around Ru and sighed. While in the forest she had opened the link with Sally and Cathy.
'While you guys were gone Quatra kept fussing over me so I started to call him a mother hen and began to imamate one just to pick on him. He was chasing me when you came in.'
Ru and Sally looked at each other. They could tell the other was trying not to laugh. Ru looked at Tenshi and smiled. Tenshi looked back at her and smiled. Sally rolled her eyes and joined Cathy at the table. She had to watch this.
Ru cleared her throat to get others attention. That didn't work so she clucked. Everyone stopped at that. Quatra looked over to the two girls to see them smiling to sweetly. He rose very slowly still glaring. Ru then proceeded to roll up her sleeves and wet her lips. Everyone was watching now. She looked around to make sure she had everyone's attention. Tenshi began to stretch her arms as Ru cleared her throat. They looked at each other then to Quatra.
" You know Quatra if you sit there sulking to much you won't be able to lay any eggs." Ru told him before her and Tenshi began to act like chickens. Quatra went after them as everyone broke down laughing. Every time they would evade Quatra they would act like chickens and Ru would begin to cluck.
In the end it took all four boys to hold down Quatra while Sally and Cathy stood in his way. They finally calmed him down and had the girls apologize. Quatra just walked to the kitchen to begin dinner.
At dinner everything was quiet. Tension was heavy in the air. Tenshi sat back in her chair and picked at her food. She didn't mean to hurt Quatra's feelings like she had, she was just teasing. Now she felt so guilty. She jumped when something hit her. Looking down on her chest was mash potatoes. She looked up to see Quatra lick the last bit of mash potatoes off and ready another fork full for Ru. He notices her and smirked at her before letting his new load fly.
"Hey." Everyone looked up to see Ru wiping potatoes form her face. She glared around the table before landing on a smirking Quatra.
"Pay back is a Bitch." Was all he said before launching again? That began a food fight. Hiiro had managed to doge everything till Dou picked up the bowl of potatoes and plopped it on Hiiro's head. Hiiro wiped some of it that had slid down into his eyes. Everyone had stopped. Tenshi next to him was giggling at the site. He looked at her then down to the mess he held in his hands before reaching over slapping his hand onto her head then rubbed it in as if he was ruffling her hair. He dropped his hand then he smirked. She froze. Very coolly she stood up he followed her every movements. She picked up the large bowl that held the rest of the soup. She then turned to him. He glared at her to try it. very slowly she poured it into his lap. It had cooled off and was cold not to mention it had some of what others had thrown.
She then covered her mouth and acted like she didn't mean to. Then she smiled at him. He reached up and took the bowl off his head. Duo made a comment, very swiftly he plopped the bowl onto her head and twisted it a few times before grabbing a roll and stuffing it into Dou's mouth. Thus the food fight began again.
The night ended with everyone cleaning up the mess and bidding good night. The boys weren't too happy. They had tried to convince Tenshi and Ru to stay home the next day and not to attend school. They both refused, which surprised them. Tenshi was not one for school. They wouldn't budge so they shrugged and went to their own rooms to clean up for the night. Sally and Cathy then left after the dishes were done. Before they left Sally reminded Tenshi of their punishment and told Ru. Then left. Ru bided Tenshi a good night and left as well.
It was now mid night and Hiiro laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling. The Doctors still had not cracked the disk. They had gotten a hold of Zechs and told him to lay low and as soon as he could to return back to the Kingdom. His mind was running over what had happened overt he past few days when he a noise attracted his attention. He saliently crept up to his window to the balcony and caught Tenshi climbing down in the same close she had on the last time she did this. He grabbed his pants and slides them over his boxers before throwing on his tank top and grabbing his jacket. He then followed Tenshi. He knew she was going back to the rink.
When he got there he found her already skating to the same song again. He listened to the song. It was Reflection from that cartoon movie Mulan Duo had them watch. He listened to the music and watches her.
Did she really feel this way? Did they not know her? As she finished he walked down to the rink side where she was.
"You are good."
She jumped at his voice before smiling up at him. She was still restless. She began to think again forgetting about him till he spoke up again.
"Teach me."
She looked at him blinking a few times. Did she hear him right? Her confusion must have shown on her face. He growled.
"No I don't know how to. It wasn't part of my training. Teach me. Please."
She nodded numbly. On the other side of the rink was the locker room and spar skates. Hiiro grabbed his side and came back the rink. She showed him how put on the skates and stand on them. Once he found his balance she dragged him onto the ice.
An hour later and millions of falls later Hiiro was finally able to skate around on his own and stop. She was going to teach him how she skate backwards next when lightning flashed. The lights went off and the thunder clashed. Tenshi grabbed a hold of Hiiro almost strangling him. He finally loosened her hold but couldn't get her off. Every time the thunder would clash she would jump and cling to him tighter.
He finally settled with getting her over to the rink side getting both their skates of and leading them back to the dorm.
When they reached the room Tenshi was sobbing into his shirt and exhausted. She was not letting go of Hiiro. He ended up having to carry her back to the dorm with her fist clutching his shirt tightly. She was wearing his jacked already. Both were sopping wet. His room was the closest so he settled with sitting her on his bed. As he tried to get he shirt loose he finally took it off. He went to the bathroom got a towel. When he got back to the room Tenshi was asleep but a fit full one. She would tremble then cower when the thunder struck. He sighed and went to his dresser pulling out and extra shirt and boxers he then dried her off and changed her. Finding his self blushing for the first time as he did. Then got another set of clean close for himself and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out Tenshi had wrapped her self in his blanket and sheets. He looked at the couch then back to his bed.
It was his bed and he was not sleeping on the couch. He pulled the covers from around her and climbed in next her and pulled the covers around them. When he settled down Tenshi buried he head into his chest and grabbed his upper arm. She began to softly snore. Hiiro was startled but at least she quit tossing and turning. He did the only thing he could think of and wrapped his arms around her and fell to asleep. Not before whispering into her hair good night. When he fell asleep Tenshi opened her eyes and smiled then fell back asleep.
Little did they know another surprise awaited them then next day in school.
