This is my first story for and I decided to try a Sailor Moon one for starters.
And Andrews is a creation of my own mind
Thanks to LordHalo for the review I'll try and add a little bit of humor as well as action in this chapter
So Here's Chapter 12 enjoy and please review.Later in the day after Ami had changed his bandages and given him strict instructions not to do anything that might aggravate his injuries And decided to try and get some training in. He felt restless just laying around Rei's shrine doing nothing, he had offered to help her with her chores but when Rei told him how much work needed to be done he decide to cry off saying " oh um… I in that case I'd better rest".
For And privately knew that though saving the world may be hard he was better at it than cleaning up hence the state of his apartment which if you just visited you'd think it'd been the sight of a new years eve part despite one person living in it.
Finding a quiet, secluded spot he began to prepare for what was to come despite the pain that he felt from time to time.
Ami arrived back at the shrine to meet Rei in the others, after heading home and getting a few hours sleep plus trying to fend questions off from her mother who wanted to know like an eager teenager how her date went and when the next one was! Ami lightly laughed to herself as she greeted Rei and the others who had come to check on And's health.
" You had a nice rest Ami?" Usagi asked for she knew how Ami had worried during the night weather And was all right. " Yes Usagi though avoiding my mothers inquiries on my next date was something I would have liked to avoid" Ami said blushing remembering how her mom raved on and on causing to blush as red as Ami had ever done in her life. The girls laughed " Ami you should be happy your mother takes an interest in your dates" Minako giggled as Ami shook her head in bewilderment.
" I think And just went for a walk" Rei said as the girls decided to check up on him and finding him out of his room.
They walked around the shrine looking for And strangely they could hear a banging sound from where he could of gone and went to investigate. There a strange sight greeted them, for And some how had placed a long wooden board against a tree tying it together up against some branches. This was not though the surprise because the saw And his feet tied together hanging upside down and the banging noise was him doing a set of sit-ups in this upside down position his back crashing into the board. " No way" Makoto exclaimed while the others stood speechless unable to fathom what they were seeing! And pushed himself for another few minutes then stopped and though upside down smiled at the girls. " Hey I was just a bit bored so I'd thought I do some training" he stated wondering why the girls had gone silent. Ami walked up to him and crouching down looked him straight in the eye, " sorry to interrupt you but did you forget you have some very deep wounds" she asked calmly but the others could tell she wasn't amused. "Oh yeah I kinda forgot" And said hoping he hadn't made Ami to mad, " oh isn't it time for tea" Makoto asked nudging Rei gently in the ribs hinting that they all might need a break. " Oh Makoto your right you guys better follow me" she said as the girls left And there upside-down and slightly bemused," what could happen" he said shrugging and starting a last set of sit-ups.
After finishing And joined the girls for some tea Ami gave a scolding look so he decided he better keep his mouth shut for a while.
" That must hurt doing it that way" Makoto asked as they dug into the food that had been prepared Usagi quickly going through her lot and arguing with Rei about her eating habits while Minako watched and acted as referee.
"It does but one thing I was taught was to not focus on the pain but how this strengthened my back" And stated remembering again the hours of practice he'd endured at the temple where he had learned his skills. After finishing dinner plus desert and with Usagi's and Rei's arguing being declared a draw they all decided to allow And to head back to his apartment and meet tomorrow with Setsuna and go over the disc And had taken from the dark guardian's base. Assuring the girls he was okay and a walk to the bus stop to catch a bus back across town wouldn't be too much for him And made to leave the shrine.
He had just stepped out of the dining room when he felt the presence of something else. " I think they've caught on to me"
And said turning towards the entrance where he saw Zorn and Zella now standing. " Stay here I'll handle this" And instructed the girls who protested till And looked at them concern showing on his face and promised to wait, And walked trying to appear not as injured as he knew he was.
"Well boy you survived" Zorn taunted as And stood in front of him and his sister, "what can I say Crax couldn't get the job done then" And spoke his eyes not moving from the pair in front of him who he didn't trust for a second. Zella glared and moved towards him but Zorn held an arm out blocking her way, " sorry dear sister I have my orders" Zorn spoke And frowned if they hadn't come to attack him why where they here it made him uneasy. "Zorn I don't care I promised myself that I would crush him and those interfering girls" Zella screamed angered by their orders and more than willing to disobey them, "hush sister I hate to think what our Master would do if you acted against his orders' Zorn said.
Zella stepped down her eyes though never left the guardian,
" So your master is coming" And said so this proved what Zorn was up to was major otherwise his master would not venture out with And within reaching distance. "Correct and what he has planned for you I can't wait to see" Zorn laughed And however was unmoved and looked him right in the eye. " Well tell him I look forward to catching up with him" And spoke calmly mot wanting to concede an advantage to Zorn and his equally evil sister. " One last thing that disc you stole from us we want it back" Zorn said before he and Zella turned to leave, " sorry I can't do that" And said as he watched the pair vanish into the shadows. "Then you have 24 hours otherwise I will conveniently forget my master's orders and this city will burn" Zorn's voice echoed out followed by an ear-piercing laugh from his sister which echoed throughout the shrine. The girls walked over to And, Ami put her arms around him, as he seemed to be unsure of something. " We better contact Setsuna first thing tomorrow" And said as he and the girls stood as slowly the sun set behind them.
