Disclaimer: I don't own sailor moon!
Sorry for the long wait, I actually had this chapter finished last Sunday but FF was repairing their document manager all day and because I only have the Internet on weekends I wasn't able to upload this till today. Thank you all for the reviews!
I'm so proud of myself! My writing has improved so much, and it's all because of everyone's reviews and encouragement! This story will hopefully be much different from the first one, due to the fact that my writing has grown so much over the last few months. Please don't stop reviewing it's the only thing that keeps me going. Thank you all so much!
Chapter 1
Raye's eyes shifted to the road in front of her. Damn crazy drivers and their sour attempts to drive someone off the road and into a ditch, but she wouldn't let that get her down. After all she was on her way to Juban national hospital, wanting to surprise her boyfriend Mamoru with one of her lovely picnic baskets.
Today was their one in a half-year anniversary, and she wanted to show him how much she loved him and how much he meant to her. Although the last couple of months Mamoru seemed a little more distant than she was used to knowing, she knew it was probably due to his best friend Motoki's sudden move to America.
They hadn't talked at all either, no contact whatsoever. It was as if Motoki had fallen off the face of the earth. She didn't understand why the man had abruptly packed his things and left. She thought it wasn't going to be for long…just to visit an old friend that had ask for him to deliver her baby, or that's how Mamoru had explained his leaving to her. And now it was 2 months later with no word from the prestigous doctor.
Wait…PRESTIGOUS?
That was it! That was how they would find him again. She knew that the hospitals in America would have his records…wouldn't they? I mean how many hospitals could there be in America? It was the only way to cheer her love up! But how did she plan to do it.
Who was she kidding! There was no plausible way that she could find Motoki with all of those hospitals in America. Stopping the car at a red light Raye turned up the radio. Her head turned to the sidewalk where people ran hastily away from her direction. Turning up the radio once again to her horror something had been going terribly wrong.
"Youma's are attacking Tokyo mall, many have been injured, where are the sailor scouts?" Raye's eyes bulged out of their sockets as she abruptly made a U turn and headed to the nearest sailor scout home. Apparently that picnic wasn't going to happen today. She made a mental note to make a huge dinner or at least make reservations somewhere.
As she turned into Hiruka and Michiru's driveway she noticed that the sky was a little grayer than it usually was. Opening the car door she headed inside where Michiru was already transforming. Pulling her compact out of her purse she too turned herself into a sailor scout.
"What are we looking at here?" she asked not bothering to look at them. Michiru turned her communicator on and contacted Ami. Hiruka readied herself for the fight not bothering to answer nor acknowledge Raye.
"Ami what's the stats?" Michiru asked. Ami's voice stuttered as she typed something up on her mini computer.
"Well…it doesn't look too good guys. There seems to be a horrific number of Youma attacking the mall. There is only one significant thing about them…there made out of fire." Raye ran over to the communicator grabbing it forcefully from Michiru.
"So my attacks won't work on it?" she asked as Ami nodded. Raye crossed her arms angrily a pout forming on her lips. Michiru grabbed the communicator back from her and asked another question.
"How many?" Ami once again typed something on the communicator, and to her amazement she got a large answer.
"It's stating at least fifteen to twenty, and an extremely large dark Youma." Raye smiled happily as she peeked over Michiru's shoulder at the communicator.
"So this means you don't need me this time?" she asked hopefully. Ami began to laugh, as did Michiru and Hiruka.
"Don't be silly of course we need you…I did say and dark Youma." Raye rolled her eyes and turned around. Hiruka opened the screen door and readied their exit.
"Hey where's Hotaru?" Raye asked as she looked around the room. Hotaru ran hastily down the stairs still not transformed. Gliding her hand over her compact Hotaru turned herself into Saturn.
"I'm here! Sorry, I had a little problem with the doorknob to my room." Placing her hand into Hiruka's they walked out to the balcony, hopped the rail, and headed towards the mall leaving Raye to make the journey by herself.
She was used to it by now… after she left, her friendship with the scouts had vanished, and everyone showed very little respect for her. She knew they didn't want her there, but was being forced to keep her tagging along because after all…it was her duty. Mamoru had stopped coming to scout meetings a short while after her disappearance and had now completely abandoned the super hero life, but she wouldn't have it. Whether she was protecting the princess, fighting beside her, or even keeping her people safe, she intended to do it. She didn't care how they felt about her, she was happy with the way things had turned out…wasn't she. Exiting the home, she too hopped the rail and made her way to the battle site.
As her feet collided with the many buildings and roofs, the smell of sulfur and smoke became more and more unbearable even to the princess of fire herself. She knew that this was not going to be an easy task and it would most likely leave her beaten and battered, but…it was her job to keep everyone safe. The sky by the time she had gotten there was black, and the streets abandoned by people. Ami, Minako, Makoto, Hotaru, Michiru, Hiruka and even Chibi-Usa stood at the edge of the Juban national banks roof. The scene before them was anything but spectacular. Buildings were crushed, shops on fire, and people scattered about.
"Lets go!" Ami screamed, the scouts nodded and jumped, landing gracefully on the floor.
"We're the sailor scouts and we're here to stop you!" Raye screamed. The girls headed each in their own direction hoping to bring the Youma's down one by one. Raye stood in place not knowing what exactly she was supposed to do. She began her search for the dark Youma hoping that she could destroy it on her own.
Makoto was the first one to defeat a Youma; it howled in pain is it fell to the floor. Minako wrapped her love chain around two Youma's suffocating them completely, while Ami drenched one with her Mercury bubble blast. When most of the Youma's were to the point of death Chibi-Usa twirled herself around disintegrating them just like her mother had done before her. The only Youma that was left was out of site, so girls made their way around the mall looking curiously for the Dark Youma. Soon they were following the screams of frightened people and had came to an abrupt stop when they noticed Raye attacking the beast without much avail. Soon they were at her side destroying the monster for all the damage it had caused.
The battle had gone a lot smoother than the girls had thought it would have. Each heading home, they were exhausted and ready to collapse into their own beds. Upon entry to the home that she shared with her boyfriend she heard rustling from the alley below. Hopping down to see what had caused the noise, piercing midnight eyes met up with hers, and she took a step back.
"Its been a while Raye."
"It's so great to be out of the house." Usagi stated as the waiter placed water on the table. Motoki smiled and grabbed her hand affectionately. Rubbing the back of it with his thumb.
"Well it's about time I got you out of there. I was afraid you'd forget what the stars look like." Usagi giggled, smiling sweetly at the man before her.
"Now-now that's ridiculous, the house does have windows you know." Motoki grinned as Usagi playfully drew circled on his palm. Indeed it did feel good to be out of the house. Sighing Motoki looked at her worriedly.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked her as she fidgeted with her napkin.
"They want me to go back to work soon…but I'm not sure I'm up to it." Motoki looked into her eyes, while the look in his were telling her to go on.
"I don't think I could leave the twins home with someone for that long …just yet." Motoki nodded and smiled.
"Do what ever makes you comfortable Usa. I'm here for you all the way."
ahhh a couple cliffy's there. Thanx for the reviews everyone!
