Chapter 2


Gary awoke startled as he glanced at the clock on the bedside table. He had no idea that he had slept all night, and next to another woman no less. In fact it took a few moments for his fogged brain to remember why he didn't hear his radio like he did every morning.

Quietly he tossed om something as the sound of a cat's meow and the sound of paper thumping outside the door caught his attention. Sighing he looked to the door knowing exactly what would be on the other side, but resigned himself to his fate and opened it.

Outside sat a cat on top of what looked to be a newspaper.. Once it realized that the door was open, the cat made its way into the room and quickly jumped up carful not to jump on the lump under the sheets. The figure groaned at the feel of the added weight and chose that moment to wake up.

The cat begun purring loudly ignoring the movement willingly excepting the petting it received.

"That cat seems to like you." Gary said as he walked over and started to pet the animal as well.

Kayla nodded sitting up just a little more. The orange cat walked in circles between Gary and Kayla loving the extra attention. "Thank you." Kayla said once she found her voice.

"For what, I sware I didn't touch you last night." Gary asked.

"Well its more then that, I know you didn't, but you were there for me when no else would even spare a glance in my direction." Kayla smiled.

"Well your welcome." Gary stated before a nock sounded at the door, "I wonder who that could be?"

"Hobson you had better be up, I have a few things i need to fill in with you!" came from the other side of the door and without thinking Gary knew who waited on the other side of that door.

"You had better get that, I'll go change." Kayla suggested and padded her way into the bathroom. It was when she enter did she remember falling asleep before she had a chance to take a soothing bath. So before coming up with something to where she drained the tub of its contents before refilling it.

Meanwhile the female cop had a few words to say to Gary, already jumping the gun about how he had been. "I can't believe you! You stayed in that bed with her didn't you! I know that you wanted to..." the officer began her voice shaking with every word. Anger increasing. As she spoke.

"Will you calm down and chill out. She is just fine, and I wouldn't ever do a thing to anyone unless they didn't want it. I know she is an important person, but you need to see past her title and see her for who she is. I mean come on, she wanted to comment subside and distort that crystal. " Gary said defending the young girl.

"She can't do that!" Toni stated in a bit of shock.

"I'm afraid if anyone can she can." Gary said seriously as he relayed the story and her ties to it and her family.

The female detective stopped her ranting and raving listening to Gary for once.

"Then you had better keep closer tabs on her," she hissed thinking Gary to be a nut, but also trapped because once again something very important rested in Gary's hands and the older woman didn't think she could handle it.

"Now if you excuse me, I'm going to check on her."

"Take this.." the officer stated before leaving as she shoved a slip of paper in his hand, "That is where we are to meet to produce the jewel for the theaves as bate."

Gary nodded as he took it disappearing into the hotel room he had slept in the night before his cat sitting happily outside the bathroom door. It meowed as if asking if it could could gain entrance to what ever was behind the closed door.

"Is Kayla in there?" Gary asked, and as if the cat could talk, it pawed at the door before rubbing against Gary's leg then returning to the door. Gary took this as a yes before knocking, "are you ok in there?"

"I'm fine. " Kayla replied through the door. "I'm just relaxing in a bath before I get started on anything else for right now."

"Then enjoy, call if you need anything." Gary called back through the door after petting cat.

Kayla smiled to herself as she let the hot soothing water wash away all the pain in her body. Never in her life had she felt so loved so important, so wanted and needed by someone and for once not in a sick way, but she knew in her heart it wouldn't last. How could she do this, to someone she hardly knew?

Thoughts like this and more raced through her mind as she exited the bath pulling her cell phone out from no where. Sighing she flipped through it in serch for the perfect outfit but found that task harder then she had counted on

:Arg...how could I be so dum: she thought as she thumbed through her slections one more time. Finally she just clicked on an outfit that she prayed won't expose two much skin, not like she hadn't done that already. In a flash the picture on her phone had become clothing that she now had, and she swore to herself if she didn't kill herself first that she would max out her bank card on clothes the first chance she could get.

The bathroom door opened with a soft creek and the cat was one of the first to say "hello". "hey, bathroom is all yours..." Kayla told Gary hoping he didn't leave. "There should be plenty of hot water."

"Thanks but you didn't have to go that far for me." Gary replied as he took a hand and helped her to get some wet lose strands of hair out of her face. "I have to make a quick phone call to the bar I own real quick though."

"Help yourself." Kayla said handing her cell phone. "don't wory I won't get charged long distance."

Gary took the offered cell phone with a smile and quickly called Merissa at the bar. He had explained about everything that had happened and why he hadn't been there all night. Naturally Merissa had to jump to the wrong conclusions and like that female cop, scold Gary for something that he did not do. But with Gary's luck that had been happening a lot lately.

After his phone call, he closed Kayla's cell and gave it back before taking a nice shower. Once he felt clean and refreshed he told Kayla about what they had planned. She nodded in understanding sitting in her chair waiting to go... once he checked the paper, to make sure nothing new had come up in the past few hours, is when he first noticed Kayla. There she sat plain as day in a wheelchair leaning over her feet adjusting her shoes.

"What happened?" Gary asked. "How come your in that wheelchair?"

"Because I have CP, and I wouldn't be able to use enough magic to be able to walk around all day. I don't care what that cop says, but she can just deal. I don't like going around in public, screaming hey I'm a moon princess. You know." Kayla stated firmly.

"What if she asks questions then?" Gary had to ask not sure how the girl would pull this off.

"Then I'll make my mark faintly appear enough so that she knows its me. After all she should know I'm the twin that is the health risk."

Gary nodded knowing that Kayla probly knew exactly what she was doing. In fact she had the whole under cover thing down. Not many people could hide themselves this well he had to give her credit for that.

"So ready to go?" Gary asked as she unlocked her wheels and he pushed through the hotel doors. She yawned never used to being up this early, but if this was for the good of the planet in the long run then she sure in the hell would do what ever it took to get the job done.

The streets of the "windy city" were exactly as Kayla had pictured them. Trafic was horid, and one could barly move. Not out the door nearly five minutes, and they waited for trafic to slow so they could cross only to have some asshole come flying through the intersection nearly cl clipping them.

"If you could make it anywhere on time it would be considered a mecherle in most cases. Not only that but the public transit system left much to desired as well. "How do you stand this?" Kayla asked upon listening to the time on her watch, which was still set one hour ahead.

"it is not easy sometimes." Gary told her as they approached the Jewelry shop.

"Glad to see that you made it." the female detectives said as she fixed Gary with a look that clearly meant "I will have your head Hobson for this."

"Yeah, early morning traffic jams can be murder." Gary responded sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck in thought.

"Aren't they always?" came a male voice beside them one that Gary remember from the night before. Kayla titled her head to look up at the stranger, but with little luck.

"So I hear you two are quite an idem, when is your wedding?" a female asked but it wasn't the same cop that Gary had grown to hate.

"Uh...my girl here makes all the plans...ask her." Gary replied not quite sure what to say exactly.

Kayla sighed rubbing her temples knowin that all of this was a big lie, and yet she had to wonder what had gotten her into this mess. "Um... Not for quite some time yet, we have a lot of things to do yet." Kayla replied smoothly keeping her voice calm and tried to make sure that it didn't crack.

"Well, if you two are so close, aren't you going to kiss her?" the strange woman persisted.

Gary and Kayla exchanged looks with each other then kayla looked down at her hands resting in her lap. But, she didn't expect for what happened next to even happen. Two soft fingers lifted her head forcing her to look up at the person. Within moments she felt another pair of lips connecting with hers.

She closed her sightless eyes as a feeling washed over her nothing like she had ever imagined her hands reaching up to touch the person. Moaning she parted her lips when she felt the lips pressing into her demanding entrance. Nothing else existed at that moment, and Kayla never felt so safe, alive, and loved. But, she knew it wouldn't last long.

Soon but, too soon for Kayla they had to break for air. But, the kiss had left her light headed and her mind racing. :Why me? How come I can't fall in love? To them, I'm just another senshi...: kayla thought and those thoughts were eating at her mind night and day.

She sighed bitting her lip after they had left, Gary had something to do and now Kayla had time to herself. Which in her current mood wasn't the best plan of action. With no one to stop her, she resolved to finish out what she had orgenaly planned on. In her mind it was what she needed to do.

Finding one of the highest structures in the entire city, she took the elevator as high as she could go, the wind whipping her lose brown hair about. Limping over the edge, she inched forward her feet slipping from under her. With closed eyes, she slowly made her way across to the very edge her symbol flashing on her forehead a moment as a glow admitted from her chest.

Holding the sphere firmly she used one foot to find the exact edge while trying to keep her balance. Poring all magical engary she had into the crystal, she tossed the silver stone over the edge her form going with it falling limply to the pavment below. Nothing could stop her now.
