Pleasures For You:
Chp. 14 pt 2:
...he jabbed her in her back with his hand really hard. She fell unconscious.
"See Nephrite, this is what happens when you cross me. I could have let you handle the situation had you not have wanted to tell her. Now look what you did."
"No, you cannot do this to Ami. You already killed one of my best friends... I won't let you do this to another one."
"And how do you plan on stopping me. I don't know if you know this, but I control this. I control what you do and what you don't. Have you ever felt like there was something telling you to do or not to do? Yeah, well, fuck a conscience, it was me."
"No... I control my own life, not you!"
"I can erase you altogether, but I need you. Now, as long as you are a good boy, everything will be cool. I won't kill her... yet. Now, what I need you to do is..."
Usagi's house..."Have you figured out what's wrong with her?" Usagi asked Rei.
"Yes... I think she's pregnant. I have done a reading on her. Once she feels a little better, we will tell her to take a pregnancy test."
"It'll be hard for her... I mean, speaking that the baby's father is dead." Mina said with sorrow in her voice.
"How do we know that it is his?" Mamoru commented as he walked into the living room.
Mina looked at him with bewilderment.
"What do you mean, how do we know? She was so faithful to him... and he cheated." she stated.
"Well... it is true that what we know, she never cheated. But, there can always be secrets. I'm not saying she did, Mina, but we never know." Mamoru replied.
They all got quiet for a few minutes when they heard a bang on the door. Mamoru went to get it. When he opened the door, he saw a saddened Nephrite.
"Hey Mamoru... may I come in?" he asked.
"Get the fuck out of... what a minute... where's Ami-chan?" Rei asked with a look of hatred in her eyes.
"I talked to her earlier, but after an hour, I called her on her phone... a man picked up and said that he was holding her for hostage. That's why I came over. That and I wanted to see have Mako-chan was doing."
"Only her friends call... wait a minute... what!" Rei realized what he had said. She was so mad at him about how he treated Makoto, she totally blocked out what he had said.
"Did you recognize the voice?" Mina asked in a worried tone.
"No, not at all. Do you guys want to form a search party?" Nephrite asked.
"We're gonna have to... Ami was the only one who knew how to use her little computer... Oh! Let's try to get in touch with her though her communicator. She never takes it off." Rei said.
They three girls tried to reach her using each one of their communicators all to no avail.
"The guy either took it or she left it at home." Usagi said.
"Home... I'll call Greg and tell him what has happened." Mamoru said while walking into the other room.
Usagi, Mina, Rei, and Nephrite sat trying to brainstorm... well, at least the three girls were. Nephrite knew what really happened.
"Well, I just spoke with Greg." Mamoru announced as he sat down next to his wife on the couch.
"How did he take it?" Usagi asked.
"He was pretty banged up about it. He's on his way over her from the hospital."
"Can I use your phone to call Jadeite and Zoisite?" Nephrite asked.
"Yeah... the more help the better. Tell them to come over." Mamoru replied.
After he left the living room to go into the kitchen, Rei spoke up.
"He knows more than he's letting off."
"How do you know, Rei-chan?" Usagi asked.
"I just know... call it a hunch, but I think he knows what really happened to her. Ami may be a bit smaller than the rest of us, but she is still a Sailor Scout."
"That's true... Ami knows how to handle herself... she never leaves her communicator or Scout pen behind in cases like these. She thinks ahead." Mina agreed.
"Do you think he did it?" Usagi said in a lower voice so that Nephrite wouldn't hear her.
"Are you saying I kidnapped my own best friend!" Nephrite walked in without anyone noticing, not even Rei.
Usagi was flabbergasted because she had not expected him to come in while she was talking.
"You've done some pretty shitty things to your so called 'best friend'! You went out with her best friend behind her back... you slept with Malachite... messed up his relationship with Makoto, not to mention your relationship with her, another one of your best friends. I wouldn't be surprised if you did!" Rei screamed at him.
"I would never do that to Ami, though. I know I messed up in the past, but I would never do anything to her. Plus, she knew about Makoto and I. She knew I liked Makoto before I even knew. You think you know everything just because you are a high priestess..."
"I never said that I knew everything, but..."
"What's going on?" No one ever heard the door open to Usagi's spare bedroom.
"Nothing Mako-chan. Well, Ami-chan is missing... we all think this is called a man knows more than he says."
Nephrite looked at Makoto and he saw her rage building up. Nephlite used his physic ability to calm her down. Once she looked calm, he called her over to him with his mind. She walked over to him.
'Now get mad at them!' Nephlite said to her in her mind.
Hugging him, Makoto replied, "He wouldn't do anything like that to Ami-chan! I can't believe you guys would blame him like that!"
(A/N: Can you see a connection with this chapter and a chapter or two back?)
Everyone looked at her like she had lost her mind.
"Mako... do you realize what you're doing?" Usagi asked her, her mouth hanging wide open.
"I know perfectly well what I'm doing! I love him! And you will not go accusing him of something you don't know!"
Everyone couldn't do anything but look at her and just blink.
The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. Everything was quiet for a few minutes while Makoto and Nephrite gave Usagi, Mina, Rei, and Mamoru the stare down and vise versa.
"We don't have time for this!" Mina yelled.
Everyone looked at her.
"Well, we don't. What we do have time for is to find out where Ami-chan is and make sure she is alright."
With a few more seconds and a glare, Rei replied, "She's right... we have to go and look for her."
A few minutes later, Greg, Jadeite, and Zoisite came through the door. They could all feel the tension, but they decided that there were more important matters to attend to.
After a few minutes of talking and figuring out what they should do, they split into search parties.
Nephrite, Makoto, and Mina broke into a group and left first. Rei, Jadeite, and Greg were a group, but before they left, Rei felt she had to say something.
"He's up to something. I know that we have to find Ami, but maybe following him will lead us to her."
"That's a good idea, Rei." Usagi said.
Greg, Jadeite, and Zoisite looked at the two girls with questioned looks.
"We'll explain on the way." Mamoru said. "But you three go ahead and follow him. Usagi, Zoisite and I will go look for her."
Rei was right... Nephrite... or rather, Nephlite had something up his sleeve.
