The Evil Hunter Sisters
---------------------
"Kazumi and Mariko were two sisters who were known as the Evil Hunter Sisters. No one really knew where they had originated from, or who they worked for. They had just appeared one day and made a name for themselves. But just as quickly as they appeared, one day they just vanished. Some said the Negaverse had gotten them. Others said the Black Moon Family had gotten them. Some said it was an unknown evil who were much stronger than them. But no one knew what had actually happened, and soon, only the Sailor Scouts and those who lived on the Moon Kingdom with its surrounding kingdoms on the other planets in the same solar system remembered."

"What would happen if they came back?"

Michiru smiled down on Rinni. "Then we'll just deal with them as we have with the other enemies who have crossed our path."

"Yeah, no one can beat the Outer Scouts. You guys were around way before the Inners even regained their memory."

She glanced over at Hotaru who was in the adjacent bed. 'This is why I didn't want them sharing a room. They'll talk all night again, and they have school in the morning,' Michiru thought.

Rinni just giggled. "Well... I just hope they don't come back."

Michiru giggled as well with the girls, and then kissed them both goodnight. "I'll see you in the morning." She walked to the door and was about to turn out the light, when Rinni asked her a question.

"Hey, Mich?"

"Yes, Rinni?"

"Why did you wait until now to tell us? Why haven't you told us about the Evil Hunter Sisters before?"

Michiru stood in the doorway trying to come up with an answer. She couldn't very well tell the girls it was because she, Setsuna, and Haruka believed the sisters were about to return. She couldn't make them worry. So, she told them, "Sometimes you know when to tell what you know, and when not to. Goodnight girls."

"Goodnight Michiru," the two said in unision.

Michiru turned off the light and went downstairs to join Haruka and Setsuna.
"Well, how did they take the story?" Setsuna asked her.

Michiru told her about Rinni's question, and what she had told them.

"That was the right answer, Mich. Why bother worring them if we're wrong?" Haruka nodded. "You were right answering them that way."

"Yes, and if we are right they will know about the sisters." Setsuna looked back down at her laptop which was sitting in her lap. "I have a feeling we aren't wrong though, Haruka. I have a feeling those sisters will be back."

"What did the Inner Scouts say when you told them?" Michiru asked Haruka.

"Well, first I had to wait until Hiei and Kurama and them left. After that, I had a crapload of questions to handle from the girls when I did tell them. I think they soon realized though I only know what I've been told." Haruka shook her head.

"And none of us know any more than the other." Setsuna added. "Sometimes I wish I could ask Queen Serenity about these things. I know she only told me as much as she knew, but I'm sure that sometimes she would be able to figure things out much better and faster than any three of us could."

"Yes," Michiru said, and she sighed.

"To add to this, Yusuke and his friends come from another dimetion. Just how nice can it be???" Haruka said sarcastically.

Then suddenly, there was a ring at the doorbell.

"I'll get it, since I'm still standing and you two are sitting down," Michiru said.

She walked away from them and to the front door. "Who is it?" she asked as she opened it, and received a surprise.

In front of her, Kurama and Hiei were standing. "Ever heard of the Evil Hunter Sisters?"
Kurama and Hiei had answered their most important question: Where had the sisters disappeared to? The answer: Detectives from the Spirit World had come and arrested them. It had turned out they had escaped from the Spirit World, into the Living World, and the Detectives had caught them because they were easy to track down after they had made a name for themselves. But now, they were missing again. Actually, they had escaped five years ago. Just the only thing none of them knew was why the sisters had not shown themselves. Maybe it was because the Evil Hunter Sisters had joined up with another enemy. That was one of the greatest possibilites... and it sounded just like something the sisters would do, if they thought it would make them even more feared.

"Why do I feel as if you are hiding something from us, you two?" Setsuna suddenly asked.

Hiei looked at Setsuna with a look that said "you shouldn't have asked that question."

"There are some things, right now, that should remain alone, Setsuna. That is what I believe. However, you asked that question." He looked at Hiei. "It is alright, my friend. We can tell them."

"Tell us what, Kurama?"

Kurama looked at Michiru. "A while back before we even heard of Yusuke and his friends, Hiei and I had met a strange girl while we were on a walk. What we were talking about, I do not know. But this girl immediately caught our attention. She seemed to emit a strange power, which we could only sense, for other people who were also walking did not seem to notice her. We hardly talked, but she did tell us to be wary of uncoming dangers. Dangers which would be far into the future; farther than we could imagine."

"We thought those dangers were the ones we faced with Yusuke, back where we come from. I fear though, in a way, that what we may face with you and the other Sailor Scouts (yes, they know all about that, dear readers), may be the dangers she was hinting at," Hiei added.

"Did you find out her name?" Setsuna questioned.

Kurama didn't want to answer that, for some reason.

"What do names mean, right now, Setsuna??? What we've got is probably a potential enemy coming toward us. For all we know, they could have done their damaged and left!" Haruka seemed to be really nervous.

"Yes, that is true. We are all worried, Haruka. For now, names do not count. Did you find out if she was working for the enemy?" Setsuna sounded... exausted.

"No, but I don't think she was. She didn't emit that type of energy. It was...... different, but it was not bad like that." Kurama wondered what would happen the next time they asked for the woman's name. Would he have to give it then?

"We'll leave you now," Hiei said, and stood up.

Kurama followed him, after they said goodnight to the women.

Surprisingly, Setsuna followed them outside. "Times are changing, Kurama, Hiei. You two will have to be cautious, I believe. We all will have to be. Warn you friends to be careful, for the time being. I don't want any 'accidents' happening to any of you. I know an enemy is coming, and maybe will show themselves soon. I fear it may be a hard battle ahead, I want to have all the help we can get to defeat them."

"Do you really believe those sisters can be that powerful?" Kurama asked her.

She shook her head. "No, no I don't. But I do not believe they will come alone. I have faced them before, and I can guarentee you they will not come alone. They are not the type. Just be on your guard."

After that, Kurama and Hiei said a final goodbye to Setsuna, and then left for home.
Yet, Setsuna's last words to him that night lingered in his head for the entire next week, as well as one question: when would the enemy strike, and where?
