"Familiar Faces" By: Silver Nights

Chapter 3

"Supreme Thunder Crash!" roared the Sailor Scout. For her first try, she broke off the robot like monster's arm causing it to let the hand let go of its grip to let the other Sailor Scout free. The Sailor Scout, by the name of Sailor Moon almost fell to the floor but caught herself, "Makoto, you're Sailor Jupiter!" she asked out loud in shock.

"I guess so" blushed Sailor Jupiter as she looked down at her green ankle boots, mini skirt, pink bow with a green gem, and the rest of her outfit.

The monster got ready for round two of the battle and charged after Sailor Moon. She screamed as the monster went after her. Sailor Jupiter was about to protect her friend, until there was silence, and a slash broke out of no where causing the monster to loose his arm again. Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter were both shocked and surprised, they looked towards their right to see cobalt blue eyes glaring in the shadows of the trees.

"Blaming innocent people for your own problems, why must you attack them for your faults? Let the innocent be" chuckled the voice.

"Who are you?" asked the monster

"I may run, hide, but I never tell a lie, I am Shinigami" introduced the creature as he walked out of the shadows to show his mysterious appearance. He had a long chestnut brown braid, with cobalt blue eyes, a tight black armor that showed off his average muscles while he wore a silver cross necklace around his neck and black pants with boots, long black gloves, and bat wings, and in his right hand he proudly held his scythe.

Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter both blushed admiring the man who saved them. Luna watched near by, "What is this? It can't be another Sailor Scout" thought Luna as she watched near by from a bush.

"I don't care who you are, you belong to the negaverse!" claimed the monster as he went after Shinigami.

Shinigami easily dodged the attack and went after the monster with his scythe. The Sailor Scouts watched at the monster and Shinigami fought in front of their own eyes. Luna then ran out with a wand in her mouth and placed it next to Sailor Moon.

"What's this Luna?" asked Sailor Moon as she bent down and picked up the wand and held it in her hands.

"It's the crescent moon wand, it's very important because it's the symbol of our leader and waving that wand and saying 'Moon Healing Activation' will heal the enemy and bring them back to normal. You can't turn Joe into moon dust you know" explained Luna.

Sailor Moon nodded and waved the new magic wand into the air, "Moon Healing, Activation!"

Moon dust scattered everywhere causing the monster to cry out in pain, Shinigami watched as the monster turned back into Joe and fall down to the floor out cold. Shinigami got one look at the boys body then turned around and started to walk away.

"Wait!" called out Sailor Moon

Shinigami stopped and turned around and looked at Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon's cheeks became rosy, "Strange, why does he look so familiar?" she thought. She then snapped out of her trance and looked at Shingami in the eye, "Shinigami, I know that means 'God of Death', but are you our friend or enemy?" asked Sailor Moon.

Shinigami showed no reaction, "I'm still trying to figure that one out" and he vanished into thin air.

"Wait!" again called out Sailor Moon but it was too late.

"Great battle girls, welcome to the Sailor Scouts Sailor Jupiter" greeted Luna, she then looked over towards Sailor Moon, "Usagi, that wand is very important and it's the symbol of our leader and it will help us find the moon princess"

"What? Me leader?" panicked Sailor Moon

"It's your destiny to become the leader of the Sailor Scouts, please get it together" sighed Luna.

Sailor Jupiter looked away for a second and looked at the area where Shinigami first appeared, "I guess we have someone to help us as well"

"Don't count on him girls, we don't know if we can trust him yet" warned Luna.

"But he saved us and help us get rid of that monster!" stated Sailor Moon as she stomped her foot into the ground.

"We'll just have to see if he'll show up again to save us on one of the next battles" said Luna as she turned away from the scouts, "How bout we go get something to eat and talk more about our mission?"

Sailor Moon's eyed widen, "Sounds like a great idea Luna! How about some burgers or chocolate milkshakes!" asked Sailor Moon as she walked away with the new scout and her pet cat. Near by, Shinigami watched them leave the area, he turned around and grabbed the cross that was around his neck and closed his eyes as he felt his body turn back into his normal self, Duo Maxwell once again. Duo looked down at the cross, "What the hell just happened?" he asked out loud in a calm tone. He looked up into the night sky and leaned back, "It's like I become a whole different person, why did I even save them?" he let out a sigh and decided to head home while he remained unsure and puzzled on what was going on in his life.

The next day, Duo woke up on his couch to the sound of heavy knocking on his apartment door. He looked around to see it was a bit messy and the blinds were wide open. He was wearing nothing but his usual black pants, he grunted as he got up. "Just a minute!" he called out as he started to clean up the place just a bit. He then put a white shirt over him so he would at least look presentable. He let out a loud yawn and rubbed his left eye and slowly opened the door. "Yes?" he asked. His eyes then widen as he got a closer look at who was at his door. A smile spread across his face, "Trowa! Quatre!"
