"she's the only one out of the entire world…she was nice to me….me of all people!" yugi said, feeling the anger swelling up in her throat.

"You can make people like you!"

"if that was the point, then I could have been with lots of people years ago, but it was not going to happen! I have been alone for years. So many years in which traveled through space and ended up alone!" Yugi snapped, she was pointed to herself with both hands up her chest.

Trugsaru was backing off as quickly as he could.

"she was going to be here…with me…but she needed up with TenchI. The one who has powers that he doesn't even know!" her voice sounded like it was going to break. She felt ever nerve tearing apart. She wanted to be free from the pain. She could not get away from it. She was not going to relieve the darkness that she had experienced before. Her powers were kicking in with a furious inside. Tsugaru had to get out of Yugi's way before he ended up getting hurt.

"Look…at the facts…she will come to you if you want, but it's nothing to get boiling mad over it!' he said as he tried to find a shadow to crawl into.

Gasping at herself as she tried to cool down, Yugi thought of breaking into Tenchi's house and just plain stealing Sashay for the second time. It was so easy to teleport from the place she was standing at to Tenchi's house. Yet. She had to think for the prefect time. She glanced at the crystal. Tenchi was laughing at a funny joke that Wash had told about two dogs.

BellDandy was enjoying the warm days when she was outside. She had sung to her heart's content. Keiichi and her two sitters were happy to her singing. She had no idea on what was going to happen to her. She was outside, planting a few flowers. She wanted to make user that she was making the house happier as she was realizing how short the season could be.

Mara was watching BellDandy from a distance. She had to think of getting BellDandy or at least urn to her way of thinking. It was her way of getting her revenge on the goddess. Mara had hooked up with the dark forces of Sailor moon. She did not like to be shearing anything that she had. This was a real sticking point with her.

Mara was on the roof of the high school which was overlooking the street in which Belldandy's house could be seen. She was crouching down to get a better view. She had been at the local since early the morning, she wanted have a good look on Belldandy without the goddess first class knowing about Mara's whereabouts.

"What are you watching?" a voice asked from nowhere.

Mara knew who it was. It was Tiger's eye who appeared out of blue. He was going to watch Mara in kidnap BellDandy. Mara did not turn to look up at the young animal trainer for Galaxia. She just sat near the roof ledge. She was a little peeved at Tiger's eye. She had an uncomfortable, but short friendship with the dark forces. She was more of a loner than a follower. She had to play nice in order to receive a great deal of power from Galaxia. She had been powerful before, but it had drained her on several times from the many battles with Belldandy and her sisters. She was grateful for the boost, but she grew weary of the many questions that she had ask about her connection to the goddess and sailor moon. Being completely in the dark, Mara had to learn fast on sailor moon.

"She is very beautiful!" tiger's eye smiled. He watched as Belldandy touched on a branch of a nearby tree. It spouted new growth instantly.

Feeling slighted, Mara sighed, "Ah! Beauty is not everything."

"Are you sure?" he asked. He walked over to get a closer look. He was now standing near where Mara was.

"And what are doing here?" he asked her.

Feeling like he should be turning the tables ion him, Mara asked, "shouldn't I be asking the same thing at you?"

Feeling a little slighted, Tiger's eye glared at her for just a minute. Then, he looked at the backdoor for just minute. He noticed Skuld and Sasami opening the door. The two were going to look at the garden in the backward. They hoped to see some of the nice flappers the previous owner had planted.

"and who is that?" Tiger's eye asked, Mara.

Mara glanced at the two girls as they exited the backdoor. She said as she reached over to flip a lock of hair in a strange manor. She let the hair rested for a minute before she flipped, "She's a friend…the one with the pig tails…she's named Sasami. The one with the black hair is named Skuld! She's the youngest of the goddesses and a brat to match!"

"A goddess…that's a switch," Tiger's eye sighed. He tried to remain calm. He was trying to realize he was with someone more powerful than himself.

"don't let her fool you," Mara said as she stood up. She stretched herself slowly, letting very muscle and bone relax.

"What does that mean?" Tiger's eye quipped.

"She's not as powerful as her two other sitters, Belldandy and Urd!"

"But, she has potencies?"

"Maybe…she is good with robots and stuff like that!" Mara said as she turned to see a couple of football players running on the sidewalk leading up to the school's back entrance way. "she is more like a fifty-watt bulb to compare to her sister hundred watt!"

"What are you going to do?" Saami asked Skuld. The two girls were walking down the path in the discretion of where Belldandy was.

"I have some new parts for a large toy car… I'm making it myself!" Skuld smiled.

"Oh?" Sasasmi knew Washu was maniacally included, but to have someone who was close to her age was a surprise. "what are you going to do with that?"

Skuld blushed a little as she said, "I am going to enter it any sort of contest that I can find! I hope to win first prize!"

"Are you sure that you want to be there if a boy beats you?" Sasasmi asked. She knew there was always any sort of strong willed boy who could beat Skuld or herself if given half a chance!

"Nay!" Skuld said as she waved at Sashay. There was a hint of smugness ion Skuld's face. She was going to be a fighter at any cost. "I am too good to even let one mere buoy stand in my way…I'm stronger than that!"

"Are you sure…" Sasami said, she cocked her head to one side. She smiled at Skuld. There was a boy who was almost in the same league as Skuld. "There is a boy at school…he's great!"

The words from Sasami seemed to be like a bolt of lightning hitting poor Skuld's ego. She believed to be so strong. She tried to smile as she tried to think of a way easing her feelings towards the boy she had dealing with. She gasped, "Jimmy Watts. I can't stand him!"

Sasasmi stared in shock at Skuld. There were two gasps from Mara and Tiger's eye. All three were surprised to hear Skuld bitterness coming up to the forefront. Sasami gritted her teeth, holding back a hand clothing fist. Then, she relaxed for a minute before gathering up the last strands of competitor. "He is not bad…but, he's a jerk!"

"A jerk?" Sasami said. She was going to change the subject very quickly. She knew there was more to this story than Skuld let on.

"Yea…just as school was letting up to the end…he had to open his big mouth and asked me if I wanted to change him to a robot duel!"

"and what happened?"

"He knows that I love robots. There was nothing in this world I like to tinkle with. I have been doing it for some time now. He asks has a love for commuter and briars, but he's a jerk when I told him that I have many different types of robots at home!" Skuld was starting feel a little smug.

"oh?" Sasami said, starting to sound a little interested. She was also careful ion her disgusting on boys. Outside of having a crush on Ten chi, Sasami did not have any sport pf real relationship with boys.

"And what are you thinking about!" Skuld asked. She was going to dig around the questioning from Sami until she found dirt.

"he's not all that bad!" Sasami smiled. She was going to gently place a wedge between the two as a sort of wall, just enough that they soon realize there was a true feeling of like for both Skuld and Jimmy.

"Yea...right. there is something to be said of having a boy like that in school!" Skuld said. She swiveled around to see if any other ears were listening. Then she leaned forward to give Sasami an ear full. She waved Sami, drawing her close. She whispered loudly, "That I am going to be better than he will ever be!"

"you are so sure?" Sasami asked.

"I am very positive. There is no idea that I can't use. If fact, I trying to see about getting some ideas from the library!" Skuld had a large grin on her face. She was patting herself on the cheating as a feeling of confine had spread.

"He was hoping you would say that…because he thinks that you are the best one to be beaten…" Sasami said as she noticed Skulk's anger starting to change from the confine in which Skuld wallowed in.

Skuld hissed, "who that little fool. He is in for a taste of real humble pie. He's going to be ground to dust!"

All three, Tiger's eye, Mara and Sasami notified that Skuld was getting terrible upset with what Sasami had to say. Then, before Skuld could regain compere, Hotrod, Reenie, Rio and Lite were walking up the path leading towards the backyard.

Reenie asked, "What's uptight you!" she and the new comers were shocked.

"Boy…especially Jimmy watts!" Skuld's face was now red.

Rio was no longer a young girl, yet she was always interested in what the younger scouts were doing with hire friends. Skuld glanced at rio and before asking, "When do you get out?"

"Today. My head is still fuzzy, but I have feeling it's not ever over!" Rio sighed. She was relieved to get out of the historical, but she wanted to stay for Joe-Casey's sake. She had to leave for just a little while. She promised him that she would be back the next day for a visit.

Lite said, "Since K and Bell are both here…we can leave. You got that afternoon shift at the radio station and I got to get some stuff for tonight's supper. Rennie, if something happens, call up Serena…at the house. Sage's going to be at the house all day."

"and what if we want to stay all day?" Hotura asked, she wanted to see Skuld's latest invention.

Rio and lite exchanged glances and smiles. There was more to this story than Hour and Reenie wanted to let on. They felt like stretching their wings. "You take it up with Serena and Micro. They are your guardians.!" Rio said.

"don't you need to be going?" Lita asked rio. She knew Rio was going to the station for another shift. She knew Rio was going to be putting in a long day. She also hoped the evil forces were not gang to be running the sailors down with one out of the picture.

"yea. I hope to not go in today. I have a feeling there is rain coming and there is no way of getting around it," Rio sighed. She was not going to the two other girls know that schwas a sailor senshi.

"I hope not," Skuld said as she glanced at the sky. She wanted to get started on her newest robot.

"Don't worry. There is plenty to do inside as well!" Hotura sounding cheerful.

"I'll see you later, guys. I think I see Steve!" Rio said. Her and lita had turned to see Steve on his motorbike. He had been looking for Rio. She knew she was going to be late if she did not get going right away.

"Bye!" Lita said as she turned back to check on Reenie and the others. "When we two are ready…then, call the house. One of us will come!"

"O.K." Reenie said.

The, lita tuned once again, then she left.

"What area talking about Jimmy Watts!" Reenie asked. She knew about the boy who was great at tanking at robots.

"He's wants to change me to a robot contest!" Skuld said. She was getting idea and her back up. She was not going to let any boy stand in her way.

Tiger's eye and Mara watched as the girls talked about the boy jimmy Watts. There was a plot to be catching in stager's mind when It came to robots.

Steve and Jerry were going to the library to get away from the heat. There was nothing like a cool library to look at things. Dusty was taking Rio to work. Alien was going to hang out with Ten chi and Tajiki. Terri was going to have a rare date with Stephone. It seemed like a very normal thing to do for Steve to study on the latest bike.

Steve was at the main sitting room with a few motor trend magazines. Jerry was email his father at one of the many computers down stairs across from the children department.

Steve had run across a reprint of a copy of a nineteen sixty-five ads for Austin Martin. He had to smile at the ad. He heard about the car being a celebrates car. He started to remember back to the time he and the others from London were tied up with trying to get the rolling stones and the Beatles back to their time. He knew both super groups were fish out of water as they were in the later years of the nineties. He had to baby sit one-time Mick and Keith. He had to take them to movie house to watch double feature of Vincent price. One was the campy Doctor gold foot and the banksia machine, the other was darker scream and scream again. Keith did want to be at the movie house, while Mick found it rather refreshing to be somewhere and not be to noticed. Steve found the Beatles to be very charming when techy wanted to be. They seemed to be a little wearier of everything. It seemed like the fab four was not use to have no body making such a fuss over them. In time they seemed to enjoy the peace they had lost when they were in the height of Beatle mana.

Steve came back to earth when he heard Tinny and Jamie were walking over to the fireplace. They had noticed Steve siting there, taking in the magazine.

They were getting away from the heat. They did like the hot weather as they tried to manage the long days of heat and the even hotter nights with very little a/c. when they could stop into the library, they would have spent hours just reading or looking over the local newspaper. Steve looked up form, his magazine and asked, "What you lot doing here?"

Jamie eyed Steve with a grin, "We should be asking you the same thing!"

"There is bathing really to do and I have no real money until the first week of next month!" Steve said.

"you are looking at the motor cars that you can't have!" tinny teased with a smile.

"Can I at least have one dream in my life…I want to either race cars or bikes!" Steve staged.

There was a spy of Galaxia's, Professor Tomeo was also at the library. He was a distance table, taking notes of where there was a possible link between Sailor moon and Serena who was a cry-baby. He was a little surprised to hear a possible star seed full of power. Was this a pure one, like the ones who were taken before. They turned out to be duds. Professor Temeo had to keep his hearing sharpened as he took notes on Steve. There was possible link to get more. There were a few stud's nests who were easily fooled into losing everting to the power of the dark kingdom of Galaxia.

"Who is going to be building your dream car?" Jamie asked. He was not into tinkering as Tinny was making cars. He rather writes songs and funny stories.

"Don't know…" Steve sighed really. He had an insult vision of himself riding around in a high fuel injected sports car. Then, he came back in a heartbeat as he closed the magazine. He looked at Tinny and Jamie. "when it will come around, you will be my pit crew!"

"A pit crew?" Tinny said as he glanced at Jamie.

"We can try, but that's a very fast moving job…I'm not sure we're that fast!" Jamie said.

"it's just a dream…like dusty's…he has his eye on a new jet. That's still a dream in his mind after he had prospered to Rio."

Professor Temeo heard the name of Rio being mentioned. He had a feeling in his mind she was a sailor seamanship. There was talk about the sailors having normal teenage lives. He knew hour was really sailor Saturn. He wanted to talk it over with Galaxia. He was going to trick Hour into giving up her live to become Mistress Nine once again. It sounded like a great plan. He just needed to convince Galaxia to give it a try.

"And what about Stephanie?" Tinny asked.

"She's with Terri. Terri and her went to park on the other side of town. They hadn't had a debate for a while, "serve said.

"Hey Steve…where are you?" Jerry's voice was heard in the reading room. He tried to be quiet as he entered the main reading area. Jamie and Tinny turned for a minute to see jerry walking up towards them.

"I'm right here're you finished with your letter?" Steve asked as he learned to one side of gate choir. He was small enough to hide in the chair for just a few minutes.

"Yea...I'm not expecting anything in a week! My father is very busy with his job!" Jerry sighed. He was a having a rough patch oath his father. His family did want him to go to the states at the time he was still school.

"I had the same thing with my mum and dad…they still think of me as a kid. I had told them there are people who are watching over us. In fact, Jake is a veer good friend of my father's!" Jamie said.

"it's tough to be a grown up…isn't it!" Steve grinned. He stood up from the chair to stretch.

"all I can say is we have to learn to be an adult. Life is a series of changes and points of view that everyone has and can share if they can do it nicely. It's just that we have to in control of our mouths and minds when we speak!"

"how true…" Professor Temeo thought as he listened to Steve's conversation with the otters. He was hatching a plan with great and careful steps. He was going to be very observant on catching the right time in exposing the sailor scouts to Galaxia when they were the least weak point. He needed help in this project.

The days of complete and utter relaxation was starting to level off with everyone. This was a Sunday afternoon. There were a few old black and white movies being played somewhere. The heat of the day was climbing to a slight unconformable rate. It seemed like the work just wanted to breath for just this one day.

Even the usually alert moon cats of the moon kingdom were just taking it easy. It seemed like an unseen, but friendly force was letting everting slow down. The younger set of the took group were at the pool with a couple of watchful chaperones.

There was not the conversance of the library to cool off on this Sunday. Instead the local stores were used as resting ear by a few. Others choice to use a farm to cool off from the heat of the day. It was even thought of going to a local movie house to cool there as well. It was simple way of getting over the heat until the next day.

It was a full two weeks of trying to figure on finding where Alex, Nick and Vashon were. Luna and Ami worked hard with ami's computer. Rio used her old fashion means and had to pull Serena and the rest of the inners in shape as they checked out any possible leads. The outers were doing their own thing with fining out a possible link to Galaxia's lair. The three lights, Atrimes, Diana and Darien were in for the ride in a large touring car.

The events were going to change from light into dark very quickly. It was the first changeover of the beginning of the holy wars between the moon kingdom and galaxias' own kingdom had a foretaste early on. There were possible star seed draining from innocent people, but the sailor's sensei had stopped the darkness cold.

Taiki and Seiya were trying to get a new idea where Galaxia might pop up from.

"it was like they are just waiting for us to drop the ball!" Tajiki said. He and Yaten were in the living room, watching a little tv.

"I don't get it," Yaten sighed. He had seen a few of the many soldiers of the dark kingdom, but they did not seem to care for fighting any more.

"they are getting ready for another battle. Where it is…. your guess is good as mines!" Taiki said. He was sitting on the sofa while Yaten had chosen a wing backed chair.

"What makes you say that?" Yaten asked. He could tell when Taiki was on the mark about when and where the next battle with the dark forces.

"everything was coming up with entrain day. It has to be on a day when the moon is at its highest or the fullest!"

"What are you getting at?" Yaten asked. He was going to be asking the hard questions about the dark kingdom's movements.

"There are a ton links that point out the moon's possible drawing out all the darkness and wipe clean all of the light. It's not Serena's fault. This was during the first moon kingdom's arc!"

"Yea…but it's was destroyed in the battles between the moon and the earth. I had talked with dare in a few times. The moon was totally gone by the end. Serena's mum had saved what little she had felt in power to send the youngest of the royal count to the future," Yaten said as he sat back in his chair. He glanced at the tv. It was old black and white film which he or Taiki were not paying all that attention to.

"The moon is a catalyst this time. There is a porthole between our world and the darkens!" Taiki said.

"Then, we have to be careful there is more to Galaxia this time around then we had to face in the past. She is a very power hungry creature. She might have us turn against each other!" a voice commented.

The words seemed to chill the very major in Taiki's mind, while Yaten felt very much uneasy. Then, turned to see Seiya entering the room with a water bottle in hand. He had been out getting his work out for the day, done. He had gone home after he was fished. There was something taking him to check up on his brothers. He was relieved to see both Taiki and Yaten sitting in the living room, safe and sound.

"what's wrong…Seiya. You look worried!" Yaten asked, noticing his older brother's face.

"I have been in this strange fog since I since the night we nearly lost Rio. It like we can't get things straight. Everything was changed over a little too quickly!" he sighed.

"And what about the rest?" Taiki said. He was holding the remote. Raising his left hand, he switched off the Tv. He glanced at Seiya, "I glanced at moon phases and watched the skies. The stars seemed so restless. It was like they are getting ready for distress!"

"And what else…I know Rei has not been up to her normal self. Fear is really getting to her. She doesn't look all that great!" Yaten said.

"she has no real clue?" Seiya asked. He knew Rei was cool under pressure, but fear could be a powerful tool!

"we must stay on our toes. There was nothing that Rei had come up with yet!" Taiki signed.

Seiya remained quiet, his eyes were narrowing down a little as he scanned the room. He felt like was tired. He sighed before taking a drink. he had his own feeling of dread. He knew the evil he was tasting in the small battles he and the others were facing was just the beginning. He wished beyond all hope for a chance to end the fighting. Then, the search for his princess could be found. She was still missing as weeks went on.

"it's like the song that I have been working off and on with. Everting seems to be ready for the right time, but it is like the powers that might be are still waiting for just the special energy to start the ball rolling!" Yaten said.

"there is got to be a special day. It's all get together. Everything the right time, the conditions have to be letter perfect. Even something as small as the stars," Taiki said as he and the other two were pooling around the room for any clues.

"was there any sort of day likely that when we fought Galaxia before?" Yaten asked, he cocked his head to one side.

Taiki placed a hand up to his chin. He thought out loud, "Yes, the moon was not there. It had changed from new to waxing. It was the present storm situation for us!"

"When there is no moon, I believe Serena loses a little of her powers!" Seiya added. He remembered one of the battles with Galaxia back in Tokyo, Serena was nearly wiped clean from fighting Sailor Iran mouse.

"no moon?" Taiki questioned his brother with concerned gaze.

"Yes…everything changing over so quickie as sailor moon tried to battle it out with Iron Mouse. She somehow felt all of her powers drained. I have a feeling with such a small creature like iron mouse, Galaxia had use a sort of wedge to break sailor moon down just a little to really get a hole to go through at first!"

"there is also a break in the rest of the sailors' powers, starting from Reenie and Chibi-chibi first. Even riot has grown in her powers!" Taiki said.

"Bit, not enough. There is always room to strength and grow!" Seiya said. He knew there was more to explores the sailor's powers even his own.

Yaten was the only one to not speak, he was trying to think of any possible weakness in his own powers!

"What are you thinking about Yaten?" Sekiya asked, noticing his little brother was deep in thought.

"It's everything. Even in the great planning that Galaxia has done, what will she end up," Yaten asked.

"That's a give me!" Tajii said. He had heard the expression from Rio.

"the whole prize…the earth itself," Sekiya added.

"Too easy…" Yaten huffed. He knew there was too much other for her to take over a small little planet like the earth!"

What was said from Yaten spoke of both Tajiki and Seiya a few ideas to think about how Galaxia would plan her conquest out. She was very careful with every step. This time, the planning seemed far too strange even for her. Sekiya noticed the paper for a second time. He asked for it. Take had been reading it off and on all day. He was looking for the forecast and the daily events. There was talk about the used book sale at the library considering with the local Red cross blood drive. He also checked the weather. July was starting to get hot.

"Do you want to check the library for the phases of the moon this month?" Seiya asked Tajiki.

"Yes. I was thinking the same thing. There is notes that I have taking about the phases of the moon. It seems veer eye opening!" Taiki spoke slow, averaging every word.

"Then, have Ami with you. You can both study on what could happen if the moon as an epic. Then, we can get ready for a possible grudge match with Galaxia!" Seiya said.

Ten chi was trying to get grass mowed with some help from Keyon. She was busy with the weeds in the flower bed. He ewes trying to get the grass mowed before it rained. There were signs of it looking like rain. The birds seemed to be staying in the trees.

Ayeka and Sasami were going to help with the flower beds in the back. Ayana had a bad dream once angina, it was a dark force in her dreams who was controlling her and the fact Samsara was no longer there.

Ayana tried to shake the feeling off as she worked. She watched from the corner of her eye, her sitter Sasami. She felt a little better as Sasami planted the early summer flowers. Sasami felt her sister's gaze. She looked up from her work and asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing!" Ayeka gaspoed. She blushed as she nearly dropped a bulb.

Sami noticed the bulb failing before Ayeka caught it her hands. "Are you o.k.?"

She tried to recover as best as she could. She said with a slight grin, "I'm just day dreaming that all!"

Sasami did not think about her sister daydreaming like she was. She did have a crush on Tenchi. After all, Ayeka wanted to be married to Tenchi for a line time. Sasami went back to her tending.

Rook was trying to avoid the grass cutting and flower tending alto her. She rather just sleeps the rest of the day away. Ryker looked out of her window. she was not happy with the feeling she had since she had gotten up in the morning. was Houma on the move again. he was seen by her many times, but he was too quick to be caught by her. she wished for an end to yogi toying with everyone. even with no help from Kagato go, Yugi was still a pain.

"Yogi, what are you planning?" Rokyo thought to herself. She noticed Tenchi, pushing a mower up and down the lawn. She smiled at Tenchi. She knew he was safe. He was the glue that held everyone in check anywhere they were at.

Mishio was with Washu, watering the flowers on the far side of the house. They were talking about how hot it was for early July. Washu wanted to keep an eye on Mishio and Keyone for thaw reason of being next to snatched up by yogi. There were appends b Yugi to take Sasami, but they were foiled by Sailor moon. Yugi had teamed up with Galaixa for a new way of battling against the forces of good. Another force had also iterated the evil force. It was Mara who wanted to take out Belldandy and her two sisters. Keiichi would be the innocent by stander. Them, the left over from the sailor sensei would turned into soldiers of darkness. It seemed great in thought, but pure love and justice was coming into everyone's mind who was not touched by Galaxia's minions.

"the grass is turning brown!" Mishio observed.

"it hadn't rain for a week…so natural, the grass would tin brown!" Washu sighed. She was hoping they would be finished early. Mishio was not the best at talking about world shaking events. She was still hung up on Space Police-policeman to show and eating.

"Oh?" Mishio said as with a wide-eyed stare.

"Brother!" Washu groaned quietly. Her sour look was not going by a damper on Mishit's day.

Washu ordered Mishio to stay put while she would go the other side of the house to turned off the water.

in the distance an unseen person was watching everything unfolding. it was a net which was spreading around the house, filling it with darkness.

Tenchi noticed Washu coming around the bend, he had stopped mowing for a little bit. she was jogging past him with a sour expression on her face. Tenchi asked when he flagged her down, "what happened?"

"there is water coming out of the hose at full force and Mishio can't stop it!" Washu gasped as she jogs past him.

"What?" Tenchi gaped.

When Washu got to the other side of the house, she was surprised. she had thought as she went to the other side of the house, it was a simple mistake that Mishio had done. Washu was wrong!

there standing at the outside faucet was Kagato. the dreaded feeling of being trapped by someone who a person that they had really hated in the past came sourly up into the back of wash's mouth. she swallowed hard to get rid of that acid taste. she said weakly, "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to play a prank on you!" he snarled with a dark grin.

playing it a little cool, Washu asked, Oh. Have you been here long?"

"The whole concept of time is so much a joke to someone like me, Washu…. that you must be out of your own mind to be even thinking of that!" he said as he leaned forward. He was now standing so close to Washu that she could see his hate, looming in his eyes.

"I'm not a child…" she growled coldly. Her face was drawn to the point of hateful herself. She wanted to be sure he was not going to hurt the people she loved.

"you are very sharp today…" he smirked.

"You are no prize. I wish you didn't have to put your powers into Yugi!" she hissed. She felt like she was going to kick him out to the yard.

"And why do you ask that?"

"she's still a child in a lot of respects!" Washu Said, eyeing around Kagato's area for hidden traps.

"Yugi is a mere tool!" Katago said sharply. there was a hint of acid in his voice.

"What?" Washu knew Kata go wanted only one thing, power. she had to stop him from destroying everything before it was too late. she had to get a hold of Ten chi and possible the girls into the idea of stopping Yugi from becoming a gate way for Kagato's greed. "She's a young girl...very much like Sasami. she is still a young and inexperienced child. you don't know her like I do!"

"Fool...she has grown since the last time she had seen Sasami!" Katago held out a hand to call forth a ball of light. inside that ball was an image of Yugi and Sansei playing together just a few years back.

Washu felt slightly unhinged at the sight. She knew how to not show too much on her part. She had to remain cool to the facts that Yugi could be used a trap for Katago. "I have one question to ask you?" she asked.

"what is it?" Katago said as he waved his hand once to remove the ball from his sight. "Is it about Ten chi or another people…like Princess Ayeka?"

She felt everything forming a pit in her stomach. She had to make a plea. She asked with a couple of tears in her eyes, "why is that you wanted destroy this planet. What happen to you, you had everything going for you and you want to get rid of it. This planet has done nothing to you!"

"You did not answer my question!" he snapped. He was standing over her with a great deal hate in his eyes.

"I know that you yearned for revenge to back at TEnchi's grandfather, but Ten chi is not his grandfather. I know this to be a fact!"

Kagato felt like he was getting the run around. He waved his hand one again to preduce a sword of light. It growled haughtily familiar to Washu. She wondered Kagato was able to unlock his own powers to their fullest strength to make a fake Light Hawk sword.

She was shocked as she asked, "Where did you find the key to unlock the light hawk sword. The only people who have that power is still Jurian royal family!'

"Spare me the history lesson. You forget that nothing is impossible with the right kind of study or training!" Kagato said as he stood tall. His hand gasping the sword's hilt.

Washu was a little tongue tied at Kagato's statement. He nearly smelt the utter defeat to Washu's wall of define. She said, "You are going to take a fall. Mark my words. You will fall and hard."

"Little Washu!" he placed the blade tip very close to her face, "…I have no intentions to be that foolish and be unsure of myself…!"

Washu felt like flinching, but she stood her ground. She warned Kagato that Ten chi was training even more. He was not going to let anyone down. Kagato had to ask about herself. She was not going to let herself to be pushed around, but she was going to let Kagato just as the simple rest of glimpse until he would let her go. He felt like driving the blade tip into her cheek very so quickly to make a point in which case he was going to be the victor. He backed away slowly as the blade became nothing once again

Then, she turned to say, "You have asked me about my work…that's o.k., built, there is still unknown work that I have to do…I'm not going to be foolish and tell the whole world about just yet!"

"You will have tripped up on your rightness!" Kagato warned. He knew Washu could have an ego. He began to wonder if there was a way to get inside of Washu's ego and crush it. It was a careful, thought poking idea for Kagato to be even tempting fate. He was willing to try. Then, he turned to leave.

Washu felt a little vindicated. She knew he was not even in the snake group of people as she was ion. She had a feeling he was going to be in danger if he would not be able to change for the good. She watched him leave. Then, she heard Keyon calling her name. she said, "I'll be there as soon I as turn off the water!"

Washu found the hose in a matter of minutes. As she picked it up, the feeling of bitterness was starting to toy with her. She was careful in order not to letter the feeling the best of her. She thought to herself, "I'm going to tell Ten chi to be on guard. Kagato was on the prowl. I have cause for alarm for this time. This might be the last call."

She reached over to the tap with one hand. She quickly turned off the water. She could have heard birds flying overhead, she wondered if they were there when Kagato was talking to her just a few minutes ago,

She did have time to be thinking when her next move was.

Nick and Alex swore outside of the portal; Nick had been wrestling with his feeling for Nat. she was still his wife. Nick was going to be at a distance with Nat. for reasons that could not be explained, he had been in slipping to his old self. he wondered he if should see her. was Galaxia faintly letting Nick go. was the strain of trying to find the scouts too much. he was not going to let her go unlit the answers were found.

Nat was going home early. she had been working for many hours in the early morning with no results in finding Nick, it kind of broke her heart. she had been wanting to be with him for a long time. she had caressed over; she had been like him for just a few months.

Alex and Vashon noticed Nick just trying to fit into the black moon kingdom. He was not going to be happy until he had her with him.

Nat had a feeling she was going to be next on unseen list of potential people who were going to be kindnapped by the dark forces. She hoped there was not going to happen to herself. She had told both Laquix and Armond about her feelings towatfdsd the dissparene of Nick. If there was a slim chance of getting Nick back, Nat would take the risk.
