Ami and Makoto:

Ever since the moment that Haruka left, Makoto had stood in the same place in a complete daze. Ami had just finished talking to Sestuna and then Sestuna ran off with Haruka to go get Hotaru. Ami approached Makoto and smiled at her lightly.

"You know Makoto, you look older." Ami said looking at her friend.

"I guess we're really growing up, Ami. It's been so long since I became Jupiter." Makoto looked around making sure that no one had heard what she said.

"I have to admit. I'm quite scared of what's going to happen." Ami whispered as her and Makoto began to walk in the direction of the city.

"Of what Rei sensed?"

"No…of what will happen after high school."

"What? Do you think that we will never see each other again?"

"It could happen…."

"That's ridiculous. You know will be together in the future. We saw that when we went there."

"Makoto, that's how our future was at that moment. One little thing we do today could make a big difference. What if….what if one of us move or die….or even worse, what if we break up?"

"Listen to me, Ami. Nothing could ever break up the Sailor Senshi. We need to stay together. Lately, we have been selfish. We need not only to stay together for each other…but for the world. We are the only people that can bring peace. People need people but most of all they need this Earth and no one is going to stop us from doing that but our selves. Ami, we have the power to destroy this world but if we stay together, it's not even an issue. There really isn't anything you should fear. But me on the other hand….I need to fear what my mark on the next exam might be! I need to get some studying in!" Makoto said laughing as she said her last words.

"Well, let's say you cook and I teach?" Ami said proposing a plan.

"Great idea!" Makoto said taking Ami's hand and dragging her into Makoto's apartment.

"We'll have lots of fun." Makoto said.

Minako and Rei:

Minako arrived at the concert stage to find no body there. She figured that every one must have gone home. But she was still curious to what had happened. She called Makoto and Makoto and Ami told Minako about there whereabouts. After that she figured she would just go home until Rei finally caught up with her. Rei tried to look casual so she didn't look as if she was desperate.

"Minako!" Rei yelled calling out to her friend. Minako turned around and looked at Rei

surprised. She walked over to Rei and said "Yeah?"

"I'm…..sorry. I was just kind of worked up I guess. This is just kind of worrying me a little." Rei said feeling embarrassed while Mina on the other hand was kind of surprised that Rei would ever apologize to anyone, even to her.

"I understand."

"What?"

"I said that I understand. I'm glad that I don't have you kind of powers. I guess sometimes you see things that you don't want to see some times and since you can't help it you just get a little frustrated, right? Am I right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I had memory of my past before any of you guys. It's like you can see the hurtful future and well, I can see the past." Minako said simply. "Anyways Rei, you should get some rest. I'll see ya tomorrow." Minako said suddenly running off.

Rei looked at Minako leave and thought 'And just like that she's gone'. Minako hated confrontation about any thing. But Rei was glad that she had one friend out there that truly knew how she felt. Rei let out a deep breath and turned around.

"Another day tomorrow. Another day of Usagi and another day of studying" Rei said aloud. She started to walk back home as the day slowly faded in to the Tokyo sky.

Three days from then:

Usagi woke up around 12:00 at night. Since three days ago, she had stayed with Mamoru. Makoto called Usagi's cell phone and let her know what had happened and Usagi gave Mako-chan the great new about Mamoru. Once the news got around to Rei, Rei told Tsukino-san that Usagi would be working at the Hikawa shrine for a couple of days (to cover up for Usagi). Ever since the after the concert, no one had really kept in touch. Rei studied every day after school and then worked around the temple. Minako didn't study but she did practice her for the talent show next week.

Makoto stood after school for cooking classes and Ami had started to volunteer at her mother's hospital. Usagi had just spent all of her time with Mamoru. She would go to school in the day and then go home to him. She enjoyed and to Usagi it felt like if they were already married.

Usagi turned on her side to face Mamoru who had been looking pale lately. She caressed his face. Mamoru's eyes opened and he pulled Usagi closer to him.

"You know Mamo-chan, you look pale." Usagi said worried as she hugged his arm.

"Usako, you shouldn't be worried." Mamoru said closing his eyes. Usagi still looked at Mamoru's face thinking of the absolute worse.

"I…Rei said before that she sensed some one. And I know this is no time to talk about it but she said that it was…..that it might be Beryl." Usagi said looking down. Mamoru's eyes widened when he heard that name. Minako and him had practically the same reaction.

"I won't let anyone hurt you." Mamoru said fiercely. He turned over to face Usagi. "Listen to me. She won't get to you. I promise that with all my heart, Usagi. No one…..I mean no one will lay a hand on you!" Mamoru yelled.

"Mamoru, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" Usagi put a hand on Mamoru's forehead feeling his temperature. "Your warm." Mamoru's face started getting more and more pale. He began to sweat and then suddenly he fainted. Usagi was in moment despair. Mamoru's body lay in her lap. She didn't know what to do but even worse….she didn't want Mamoru to die.

Usagi picked up her cell phone that was on the night table and quickly dialed Ami's number. Since Ami's mother was a doctor maybe Ami could help. "Hello? Ami?" Usagi asked quickly.

"Usagi-chan? What's wrong?"

"Um…uh…Mamoru fainted. I should have called you earlier when he was pale. Ami, this is scaring me."

"Not to worry you more but the same thing happened to Michuru. Oh wait a second; I've got a call from Rei." Ami clicked over to Rei's call. "Hello?" Ami said calmly.

"Ami! Something really creepy is going on here! Let go! Let go of that! Hey wait!" Rei yelled over the sound of her screeching crows. During the call she was interrupted and some one was apparently trying to take something from her.

Ami quickly clicked over back to a crying Usagi. "Hey, Rei seems to be in a lot of trouble. I'm going to send Minako and Makoto over there. I will be over there in 10 minutes. Put a wet cloth over his head. Just be calm." Ami said.

Usagi was shocked that Ami would be so in charge. Any ways, the love of her lie was had fainted and she needed some one quick.

Rei:

"Come back here you jerk. I swear I'll kick you ass when I get to you. That's it!" Rei had been chasing after a man who had taken her box of spell slips. She had been sweeping the front of the temple when she heard a huge thump. She looked back at the temple when she saw the man run out of her building with the box. But the real creepy thing was, was that the leaves were black and her crows where making so much noise.

After a while she just got tired of chasing the man. And so, she just stopped. That's when the man turned around and raised a hand at her from far. Since she was taking a breath, Rei didn't see the man do this. So it was too late.

The man had thrown a huge amount of black energy Rei's way and she didn't notice until it was too late. The huge ball trust against her body sending her flying across the floor. The pain engulfed her body as she looked at her torso.

The black serum entered her body as pain pierced her skin.

"I may be a girl…..but I'm strong!" Rei said trying to stand up. From behind the Hikawa shrine, Minako and Makoto witnessed Rei getting up. Makoto eyes widened as she saw the black energy turn Rei more pale by the second. Minako pulled out her transformation pen from her jean jacket and she looked at Makoto who also pulled out her transformation pen.

"To bad this is another Saturday that we'll be wasting." Minako said annoyed. She held up her transformation pen high and then yelled: "Venus Crystal Power! Make Up!" Stars of orange and yellow transformed her into the senshi of love and beauty, Sailor Venus!

Makoto held her transformation pen in the air and the said to Minako, "I totally agree." Makoto looked forward and then yelled: "Jupiter Crystal power! Make Up!" Thunder pierced the once blue sky. The sky turned a dark purple and before she knew it, Makoto had transformed into the senshi of thunder, Sailor Jupiter.

The 2 senshi ran over to Rei's side. The anger and frustration in her eyes let the girls know that she was in no mood to play. Rei snatched her transformation pen from the pocket of her kimono. The fire in her eyes no longer burned with passion but with hate.

"Mars Crystal Power! Make Up!" Rei yelled angrily. Fire wrapped around the priestess' body turning her into the senshi of flame and passion, Sailor Mars!

"I'm really am in no mood!" Rei yelled limping in pain edging closer to the villain. "What business do you have taking my things?"

The man looked straight into her eyes did not say a word. "Your stamina is amazing if you can keep Sailor Mars running around like that. If you don't let go of that box we'll have to take it from you." Sailor Jupiter said seriously.

"You can't be human. So let's attack him guys!" Sailor Venus yelled victoriously.

"Mars Flame Sniper!" Sailor Mars threw her flying fire arrow toward the man. It hit him straight in his heart.

"Wait!" Sailor Venus said running over to the man. She picked up his fallen body and looked into his face. "Oh no….Motoki." It seems that the "horrible" man they where chasing had been the innocent Motoki all along. The pain in his face made Minako's heart melt. She held his face close to hers. "Don't die, Motoki." Minako said through tears.

Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars ran over to the man to be very surprised themselves. "How could it have been….him?" Mars said bending down devastated. Makoto tried not to look into his eyes. Still after all these years she had never really revealed to anyone how deeply she felt for him. Every time she saw him at the arcade her heart felt like pouncing out of her chest. But she knew that deep down no one could surpass the love that Minako had for him. Ever since that on man broke her heart in England, the only man that Minako had ever looked up to was him.

"I…..Minako?" Motoki said confused. 'That's right! He never knew my identity!' Minako thought to herself. "Minako, is that you?" Motoki said pulling a hand up to her face and caressing it softly.

Motoki's touch sent chills up Minako's spine. She tried to hide her pain as much as she could but she knew that only 2 feet away, Makoto was also feeling pain. Pain that Motoki was touching her and not Makoto.

"Why?" Minako said looking at him.

"My sister…..was taken away. There was a ransom note. The person knew that if I bothered Rei she would transform….I was supposed to take her life today….but I didn't succeed." Motoki said as a tear ran from his eyes. "Who ever it was that took my sister said that if I didn't succeed in taking Sailor Mars' life…..my sister would get hers taken away."

"They knew my identity." Rei said in shock. "Not only that but they knew that…….we were friends."

"I don't hate you Rei. I just wanted my sister to live."

"There's no way that we're letting Unazuki die, okay? I will avenge you." Minako said angrily. "I will find out who did this to you."

Motoki Furuhata was a friend to Mamoru and has a younger sister named Unazuki Furuhata and as of Saturday of that week, he was officially pronounced dead.
