Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon; if I did then I'd be in heaven. All I own is this insanely crazy story.
Thank you to my reviewers! I loved reading them and keep it up!
Night of Chaos
Part 2: "Sailor Venus To The Rescue"
Last Chapter:
"They're gone," she informed, almost unbelievingly. She turned to look at them and for a moment, and they just stood staring back in silence. This was it, no turning back. Rini was theirs' to take care of for the night. Lita voiced their opinions.
"We can do this! I mean, how hard can taking care of Rini be?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost to prove a point, Rini, who felt the loss in presence of her mother's warmth, began screaming. Raye rocked her back and forth consolingly, trying to do it like Serena. However, Rini had other ideas as she began wiggling and kicking. Raye was having a hard time holding her, and the little toddler was beginning to slip out of her arms. Geez, she was strong!
"Uh… guys? A little help here!" she exclaimed, gasping for breath with the strain of her arms as Rini sank lower- her little feet were almost to the ground. Rini bit Raye with her razor sharp teeth and Raye dropped her with a loud exclamation. Rini scampered away to who knows where, shrieking vehemently at having been kept captive like that.
"OW! You little vixen!" Raye screamed.
"What'd she do?" Lita asked, running in. She, Amy, and Mina had been absent from the hall, trying to clean up the mess Serena and Darien had left to them from Rini and Darien's previous episode. Now, they all flew in, lightning fast to see what all the commotion was. None saw the light pink blob race away, full of unseen speed and agility.
"SHE BIT ME!" Raye wailed, rubbing her arm which had two bite mark rows of teeth on it. Rini suddenly rushed back in, immediately at the door, kicking it and pounding on it with her little fists, screaming ear-shatteringly.
"Wan' Momma! Where Momma!" she was yelling to no one in particular. For all the force she was giving she might as well have been asking the door. Mina giggled nervously, not sure how to tell a terror-invoking 2 year old that her mother and father were gone for the night.
"Uh... They're gone now, Rini-kins, so uh… please be a good little girl for your aunties…" she crooned delicately, a touch of pleading held in her voice. Rini's response was more screaming and pounding.
"Please stop," Mina hissed, gritting her teeth and losing patience very fast. It was no mystery to her now when Darien had broke into tears as they entered the apartment. When Rini refused to stop, Mina picked up Rini, who struggled, and brought her into the other room (the living room )where Lita and Amy had just finished cleaning (having gone back to it to avoid the cursing Raye).
"She won't listen to me!" Mina cried hysterically amidst Rini's shrieks of 'DOWN!'.
"What do you expect, Mina? That cannibal has a mind of her own," Raye informed angrily, back from nursing her battle wounds.
"What if we played a game with her?" Amy asked thoughtfully. "Little children love to play, and it should help keep Rini occupied."
"You're a brilliant genius Amy!" Lita alleged. "Amy and I are done cleaning now, so we'll help. But where do Serena and Darien keep the games?"
"On top of that, do they even have games? Like little kid ones?" Raye added. Amy thought a moment.
"I have a feeling that they would've wanted to wait to get games until Rini was older, so she couldn't choke on little pieces," she surmised.
"So I guess we have to make up our own games," Lita assumed correctly. Mina looked down at Rini, who had finally stopped crying and was gazing at the door, tearstained face wearing a hopeful expression as if her mother would walk through it any moment.
"Rini, do you like hide and seek?" Mina asked the little tot. The girl looked up at Mina questioningly, as if to ask 'What is that?'
"Hide and seek is where you hide and we find you!" Mina told excitedly, jovial, simpering smile in place.
"Mina, I'm not sure this is a good game to play with Ri-" Amy began.
"Amy, where could she hide that we won't find her? This apartment is so small!" Mina cut in with a reasoning voice in place.
(10 minutes later)
"I take that back," Mina said, after they still hadn't found Rini. "Come on, Rini-kins, we're done looking, come out now!" Rini still didn't appear.
"Just great, Mina-genius! Now we've lost Serena and Darien's kid! We must as well order our caskets now and be done with it!" Raye cried, famous temper flaring up, accompanied by a fear of just what Serena would do if she found out what they had done to her precious baby. "Rini, please come out!" Not a sound. Mina chewed on her nails anxiously.
"What if she's hurt? What if she's dead, alone where we can't get her?" Mina wondered aloud in rambling tones. Raye slapped Mina upside the head.
"Stop it! You're making us worry! Rini's not dead or hurt!" she reassured herself mostly. 'I hope.'
"Come get me!" A childish voice called out. The Senshi saw a flash of pink run by.
"Hell, she runs fast!" Mina exclaimed, but her voice was jubilant. At least they'd found her! They heard the bathroom door close and click.
"NOO!" Raye yelped, running to the door and trying to turn the unmoving handle. All it did was jiggle beneath her fingers uselessly.
"What's wrong?" Amy and Lita pressed, running to the door as well. Mina was close on their tail.
"Rini's locked the door and there's no key! Plus, only she can unlock the door from the inside!" Raye informed, on the verge of hysterics.
"Oh great!" Mina wailed frantically. "We might as well kiss our lives goodbye!" All were sharing the same thought. Inside, Rini was sniffling and pulling all the toilet paper off the roll for no apparent reason other than childishness.
"Rini, sweetie, can you unlock the door?" Raye's voice came in through the door, sounding a bit muffled.
"Come get me!" she repeated.
"Boy, that kid doesn't have much of a vocabulary," Mina chuckled. Lita laughed.
"That's what you get when Serena's her mom!" she added. The girls laughed except for Raye, whose hysterical dam broke.
"Shut up, you guys! We are in the middle of a crisis, probably going to be dead tomorrow, and all you can do is laugh?" she screeched. On the other side of the door, they heard Rini trying to open it and crying.
"Out! Out!" she was yelling desperately. Raye was beginning to go crazy with anxiousness.
"Rini, see the lock on the door? You gotta turn it," she crooned. Rini began turning the door handle.
"No no, sweetie, the lock!" Raye correctly. Rini continued to turn the door handle.
"Raye, baka, she doesn't know what the lock is!" Lita yelled at her friend.
"What're we gonna do!" Mina asked despairingly, breaking down in dramatic tears. Lita sighed, glancing at her in humored revulsion at the display- count on Mina to reel in the hysteria.
"We could turn into our Sailor forms and blast down the door?" Amy suggested mildly. The girls turned to Amy and she blushed.
"It's just an idea," she said defensively.
"It's so stupid that it just may work!" Mina said.
"I'll do it," Raye offered.
"Yah, if you'd like to burn the whole apartment complex down," Lita shot back.
"Well you'd just shock poor Rini," Raye snapped, not in the mood to fight but instincts took over.
"I can't do much but make it foggy and freeze stuff," Amy sheepishly admitted. They turned to Mina, who smiled devilishly. The flowing tears stopped instantly, as if being ordered to.
"Guess I win HA HA!" she gloated.
"Mina, we don't really care, just get Rini out," Raye sneered.
"OK, OK…Venus Crystal Power!" An orange light filled the room, glowing with intensity and enveloping the Goddess of Love- Mina transformed into Sailor Venus, Senshi of Love and Beauty, her other alias.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" The Love Chain flew from Venus' hand and clasped the door handle. Venus pulled as hard as she could, grunting with effort. With a loud thud, the door was ripped from its hinges and came down.
"RINI!" Raye cried. Rini ran into Raye's arms, little tear-stricken face glowing with relief. "Are you OK?" Rini just sniffed. Venus changed back to Mina and she looked at the door.
"What'll you think they'll do to us when they see the bathroom door is gone?"
"Whatever it is, it's better than what they'd do if we told them Rini was missing or locked in the bathroom," Raye said.
"Good point," agreed Amy.

Like the second chapter? I'm sorry it was a little short, but since the main focus was the Rini/Bathroom episode, it was hard to find a good spot to end that wasn't starting off in another part. Oooook, like I made any sense there, but now to my main point here: PLEASE REVIEW:)
