Chapter 7
DC: I don't own Sailor Moon
Serena was looking at that piece of paper again, while Darien went to the store. She hated the thought of not sharing it with Rini, but it was for her own safety.
She was scanning it once more, when the door opened. She quickly set it in her kitchen drawer.
"I'm home, Serena! I got some one to visit also!" came Rini's voice. Serena peeked her head around the corner, to see Rini, and another girl.
She had shoulder length black hair, and was somewhat pale.
"Hotaru?" Serena asked. The girl looked up, and smiled.
"It's been a while, Serena." Hotaru said. Serena gave her a hug, and led the two of them to the living room.
"I met her, when there was a monster sucking more energy from the sea." Rini said. Serena nodded, and Rini continued on.
"Me and Diana met Amy. She wanted me to tell you that, Raye, herself, Mina, and Lita are working for this woman. This woman, she says, has so much negative energy radiating from her." She said.
"But what about Amy?" Serena asked. "I mean does she enjoy working for this lady?"
Rini shook her head. "The total opposite. She also says that she fears for our lives. As in me and you." Rini said. Serena sighed. More worry to add to her already worried mind.
"I think we should trust Amy." Hotaru said. "She was always one to trust in the past. Listen, since my body has grown, I can remember things. Things that even you don't know about Rini." She added. Rini and Serena turned to her.
"I've been on the Moon, helping out, before I came here. The Sailor Mercury up there has actually switched sides. Something is wrong with the other three scouts. We don't know yet, because when Amy switched sides, all evil came out of her, and she forgot whom the lady was." Hotaru explained.
"So you have been up on the Moon for the past couple of weeks?" Rini asked. Hotaru nodded. "How's my mom?" She asked.
"Well, other then the stress that keeps her to herself sometimes. She's the same old Serenity." Hotaru said with a smile, looking up to Serena. Serena smiled, and the three of them laughed.
"I'm home!"
The three girls raced to see Darien. He had two bags, and some milk in his hands. Serena grabbed the milk, and set it on the counter.
"Where's Diana?" Rini asked. She looked outside, but didn't see any signs of the gray cat.
"Oh hello, Hotaru!" Darien said. "Oh and I didn't see Diana, Rini." He added. Rini closed the door, and helped put the things away.
"I sent her to come get one of you. Well, she should be on her way back…" Rini said.
The four of them talked for a bit, and then Hotaru called Amara and Michelle.
"They said it's okay for me to stay a night!" Hotaru said.
"Did they sign you up for school?" Serena asked. Hotaru nodded.
"They did it yesterday. So can I just go with Rini in the morning?" Hotaru asked. Serena and Darien nodded. Hotaru smiled, and she and Rini went up to her room. Serena made sure Rini's door had closed, before going to the drawer to get that paper.
"You're looking at it again?" Darien asked. Serena nodded.
"I can't help it… I can't figure out who this is… I still think its Rini…" She said. She sighed, and Darien wrapped his arms around her. She tilted her head up, and kissed him.
"Don't worry so much about it…it might not be healthy for the baby, and you've been through so much already." Darien whispered. Serena smiled.
"Always so caring, Darien. Don't worry. I'm fine, and as fit as a dog…or something of that type…" Serena said thoughtfully. Darien laughed, and kissed her once more.

Rini and Hotaru left early, to catch a train to Hotaru's house. She lived close to the school, and plus she had to get her things. They had a quick, easy, and early breakfast, and headed out.
"See you later!" They called.
Serena yawned, and poured herself some coffee. Darien was in the shower, and she was downstairs alone. She looked out the window, and saw it was getting lighter, but the clouds looked heavy.
She went into her living room, and clicked on the TV. It was going to snow, and there was still problems with power outages, and such. She wondered if the other scouts even cared.
"Amy does…" Serena said aloud, and took a sip of her coffee.
She found herself thinking of the paper, and rubbed her stomach. The coffee maybe wasn't a very good idea…
She held her stomach, and ran to the bathroom. After a not so refreshing visit to the toilet, she forgot not to flush.
She left the bathroom, only five seconds before Darien screamed. She gasped, and looked in. Darien was halfway hanging out of the bathtub, rubbing his back.
"I'm so sorry!" Serena cried. She shut the hot water off.
Darien wrapped a towel around himself. Serena scratched her head, and nervously laughed. "Well…at least you were almost done…" Darien sighed, and she got out so he could get dressed.
She sat in her room, and brushed her hair. She wrapped them up in the two little buns, and let the rest of her hair fall.
Darien came out a few minutes later, and Serena gave him a hug.
"I really am sorry. It was an emergency, and I forgot…" She trailed off. Darien sighed.
"I'm not mad at you, Serena." He said, and then smiled. Serena smiled, and went down to make more coffee, for Darien, not herself.
While making coffee, there was a knock on her door. She looked up to her clock, and it was seven-thirty. A little too early for visitors.
She went to the door, and opened it. There stood Amy, with a couple of cuts and bruises, on her face, and on her body. She was holding Diana, who didn't look to good herself.
"Amy!" Serena cried. She helped her in, and led her to the couch. Amy sat down, and caught her breath.
Serena grabbed some towels, wet and dry, and went to her. Amy wiped her face, and her arms. Diana just lay on the couch. She was asleep.
"Me… Lita got into a fight…" Amy gasped out. Serena's eyes went wide.
"She could have killed you! Why would you do that? Did you fight back?" Serena asked Amy shook her head.
"I'm not that stupid. I just tried to run away…but she's strong…" Amy said, wincing, as she ran the dry towel over her arms.
"What happened to Diana?" Serena asked.
"Luna." Amy replied. Serena looked down. She had scratches, and patches of fur missing. But other then that everything was in tact.
Darien heard the door close, and wondered what Serena was doing. He went down the steps, and saw the bruised Amy, and Serena helping her with her cuts.
"What happened?" He asked.
"She got into a fight with Lita--"
"Lita?" Darien interrupted. "You could've gotten killed!" He exclaimed.
"I think she knows that." Serena said.
Darien sat down. He had enough time to listen to her story.
"Well, I found Diana walking aimlessly around Tokyo, so I brought her back to my place to stay. I had told her that Saturn, would help Rini, and she just stayed there the night. Well, what I didn't know was, the other inners wanted a six o'clock meeting with whoever that lady is. So I quickly packed my work things, and while I was, Diana snuck into my duffle bag.
"I headed to the Shrine, and brought my duffle Bag up. I always walk to work for some reason. Anyway, I was real late. I think at seven I reached there. I went in, and was listening to them talk, when Diana decided to pop her head out. That's when they, including me, found out she was with me, and thought I was a trader.
"I guess I am… I talked to Rini before hand… But I wasn't expecting to be found out so shortly. I tried to talk it over, but Lita got to me. I don't know how, but I guess Luna and Diana fought, and Luna almost won. I was getting beat up also, but something happened.
"Diana's crescent moon symbol glowed, and there was a flash of light. I found myself in front of your house, holding her." Amy explained.
"I can't believe her! Whyhas Luna gone against me?" Serena asked aloud.
"What does this lady look like? The one you work for?" Darien asked. Amy thought a little.
"All I can remember, of her, is her black Flute…"

Hello!
Preview:
"All right, so what's been happening?" Trista asked.
"Well, we have concluded that our enemy wants to kill Rini." Amy said.
"Kill her?" The three outer scouts asked. Amy nodded.
"I found a note, I've also been having dreams. My last one made the decision that the Flute Player wants Rini dead." Serena said.
Is it just me, or am I getting a lot of dialog in my chapters?...Well anyway I'll update soon if you can review! And hopefully you will!
