Author's forenote: Okay this chapter is longer. *sigh* I have a lot of time
on my hands so I am trying to get as many chapters done as soon as
possible. Thanks for the great reviews Sandra! ^-^
Chapter 10
I arrived home with milk in my arms a few hours after dinner was over. Shit, was all I could think when I got inside the temple. I'm going to be in so deep, I thought quickly. I put the milk in the refrigerator and went to run the gauntlet.
----------------------------------
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!" He screamed. Dr. Shinigami looked extremely pissed.
"I was getting milk and I got side-tracked." I replied quickly.
"Got side-tracked with what!?" He was breathing deeply and his face was purple. "You look like you got the shit beat out of you!"
"That's not exactly what happened." I replied to him quickly. "I was walking down the street going to the store and this guy came out of no where and ran right into me. I fell and hit my head on the sidewalk."
"You were a few hours late!" He looked skeptical.
"I must have passed out or something, because I don't remember the last few hours." I looked down. "All I remember is getting up off the ground and getting the milk. Then getting back here." The look on his face had softened considerably.
"Go lay down and I'll take a look at your head." He said softly. That was the partial truth, I thought. God I hate lying to him. I walked slowly to my room and laid down on my bed. My eyelids felt like led and kept trying to close. I didn't realize that I was that tired till I had laid down. I heard someone come into my room and I looked over. It was Mina.
"Are you okay?" She asked me. "Duo grabbed you before I could." She looked down her eyes clouded over with slight fear.
"Yeah I'm fine." I smiled at her. "Don't be afraid of or worried about me. I'm one tough cookie, and I don't hurt my friends."
She looked up and smiled. "Thanks."
"No problem." I smiled. "Are you okay?" She nodded. "Okay. Now that I know that you're okay, I think that I'm going to pass out now..." As soon as I said that my eyes slid shut and I blacked out.

The princess tripped and I helped her up. We continued to run.
After what seemed like hours we finally got to the palace. The princess and I sifted through the rubble and found nothing. We continued through and saw a couple lying on the ground. We ran over and the princess dropped to her knees and started to cry. "Mother! Father!" She wailed. I knelt down next to her and comforted her.
I heard someone walking up and I jumped up. I spun around and saw a guy in a purple general suit. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. "Who are you?" I asked him in a commanding tone.
"What? You know who I am." He said bemused.
"No I don't," I replied confused slightly. I felt the princess stand next to me and run over to the man.
"Jedite!" She yelled through her tears. "My parents are dead..." She sobbed into his shoulder.
I watched him look between the princess and I. He had a look of utter confusion on his face. "Who is this girl?" He asked Mars. "She looks exactly like you..."
"Turns out I'm her twin." I said quickly.
I felt the planet shudder beneath me and I fell to my knees.

My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly. I had a feeling that someone was in my dark room so I pulled the knife from under my pillow. I blinked a few times willing my eyes to adjust quickly. Slowly the room came into focus. I saw the outline of someone sitting in a chair across the room. I swung my legs over the side of my bed. I quietly pad over to the person. When I got closer I saw that it was Duo. I put the knife down and kiss Duo softly on the head.
He jerked slightly and looked up at me. He had something pressed against my stomach. I looked down and saw that it was a gun.
"Jesus, Rei," He said quickly putting the gun away. "You scared me..."
"What the hell are you doing with a gun?!" I ask him quickly.
"Nothing," He had the grace to look embarrassed. "I'm sorry for pointing it at you, it's an automatic reaction."
I shrugged it off. "It's okay." I smiled softly, "I had a knife out." He chuckled softly. "Does anyone know you're hear?" I asked him. He shook his head and I looked at him puzzled. I heard someone walking down the hall. "Shhh..." I motioned to Duo to hide. He quickly hid and I pulled my knife. My door slid open and it was Dr. Shinigami.
"Oh I see you're feeling better." He said motioning to the knife in my hand.
I nodded slowly. "I heard someone coming down the hall... I didn't know that it was you. Sorry."
Dr. Shinigami nodded. "It's okay. Just came to check up on you." I nodded and he turned and left shutting the door behind him.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Duo came out from behind the chair and hugged me from behind. He rested his head on my shoulder. I leaned back against him, enveloping myself in him warmth.
"I know who you are..." He whispered softly. I stiffened and straitened up.
"Nani?" I asked quietly.
He spun me around in which I was looking at him. "I know who you are..." He repeated softly, "You are Sailor Mars."
