A.N: YAY! Thanks to all who reviewed! I love you guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the shows, or characters. They belong to their respective and wonderful owners. But I do own the personality of Rei Hino (because I'm putting my personality in hers…you can't even tell the difference…but that's my REAL personality so there *sticks tongue out*) and the personality of Usagi (read the above Rei, but instead it happens to be my best friend). Please don't sue me. I'm STILL way too cute to be sued. Hahahaha

Chapter 2: The vortex
"So, Ami, finals are coming up…I guess your studying hard?" Mako said to Ami as the group walked through the streets to Rei's home, Cherry Hill Temple, to have a quiet Shenshi meeting. Ami smiled and nodded.
"Yes, but I fear I haven't studied enough! What if I only get an A!" Ami said suddenly getting stressed out. The others laughed. *Ami blinks*
"Ami, I wish I had that problem! Don't worry, you'll do fine. As always…" Mina said.
"I sure hope your right. In fact, I don't think I'll stick around after the meeting. I have to study" Ami said nodding.
"Oh, Ami, how can you study on a beautiful day like this? I feel like running around in the flowers…ah…" Usagi said, daydreaming about finding Tuxedo Mask somewhere in that field of flowers.
"Yeah, no wonder your probably going to fail! Through I do admit it is a beautiful day" Rei said discouraging Usagi.
"Do you always have to be so mean, Rei? You're so nasty to me!" Usagi whined. Rei turned away from Usagi.
"I'm not being mean Usagi, I'm stating the obvious. Besides you know I don't mean…Did you guys hear that?" Rei said as the shenshi heard a scream not far away from them.
"Let's go check it out!" Mina said as they rushed forward to see.
The scouts found themselves in a deserted park a few minuets later.
"I was sure the sound came from here…"Rei said as the shenshi searched for the screamer. Mako, lifting up rocks commented.
"It's not like we imagined it…I mean we all heard it didn't we?"
"You don't think it was a…ghost or something, do you?" Usagi said her eyes wide in fear. Rei looked at Usagi and sighed.
"Of course it wasn't a ghost! There's no such thing! Don't be stupid!" In reply to this Usagi started crying.
"But…what if it was? You know weird things like that COULD be true…look at all the weird stuff that's attacked us before…"
"Grrrr!!!" a strange voice said as the shenshi looked up and saw the black shadow demon that the voice belonged to.
"What is that thing?!" Minako yelled as a black vortex appeared behind it, enveloping the monster. The vortex grew larger, creating gale force winds, pulling things in. The shenshi grabbed the strongest things in front of them and hung on for dear life.
"What now?!" Mako screamed as a branch struck her face, making her scream in pain.
"I don't know!" Usagi said trying hard not to fly into the vortex, clinging to a park bench.
"Just try to stay on!" Rei yelled at the group, things flying past.
'I can't hold on any longer…' Usagi thought as her grasp on the bench loosened, sucking her into the vortex.
"Usagi!" Rei screamed as she followed Usagi into the black hole. Mina and Mako watched as their grips also started to loosen, the vortex trying to pull them in. Both turned to see an also struggling Ami.
"Shenshi! We mustn't let go! AHHH!!" Ami screamed as the vortex grabbed her.
"AMI!" The two remaining shenshi yelled in illusion.
"Mina…we have to!" Mako yelled at the other. Minako nodded. Both took deep breaths and allowed their arms to slip off the objects they clinged to, allowing the vortex to claim them, like their friends before.

Again short, but I think substantial. That 'Grrr!' bit was kinda funny. Actually from the chapter's really crappy beginning, I think it actually got better towards the end. What do you think? R & R! Please! PLEASE! *begs on knees for reviews*
