Sorry for my absence, everyone. I´ve been busy with my work and I had to change of home. It wasn´t easy and I hadn´t so much time. Due to quarantine, I had more time.
This chapter was completely created by me and I hope you like it.
Like I said before, I´m not an english native and I try my best to write correctly. So please, do not hesite when you see any grammar mistake.
The bus was following by the mountain´s path with all the class and Miss Haruna inside.
- I´ve heard that this Holiday Camp is amazing - says Usagi, looking to the images that Naru was seeing in a pamphlet.
- All these activities look interesting - says Naru, still looking to the images.
- But the most important thing is that we´ll have a handsome instructor between us - says a dreamy Usagi.
Suddently Umino, who was behind of them, appears over their heads with his tablet.
- I´ve heard that this camping is surrounded by a huge florest. Is saying here that that florest is haunted.
He was saying that in sush a sinister way that Usagi and Naru couldn´t stop shivering with fear.
- Really? Someone died in there? - asks Usagi, grabbing Naru´s arm.
- Oh, no! Sorry. It wasn´t in this florest.
Both Usagi and Naru had will of rip his head, especially because of the relaxed way he said that, after all the fear he caused them.
After some minutes, the bus stopped and Miss Haruna spoke:
- Alright, class. We need to leave the bus in this point and we´ll have to go by foot.
They leave the bus and all of them started complaining about the path at their front. Usagi couldn´t believe in what she was seeing. They had to follow by a very inclined and hard path.
- Really? But this is so deadly! - she complains with a baby face.
- Come on, class. The bus can´t follow by this way. You will not die because of this hard but small walk - says their teacher.
Both followed until their destiny that was in the middle of the mountain. They saw a big wall and a big gate made of wood and they understood that they arrived to the right place. All of them were exhausted and Usagi couldn´t stop saying all the bad things she was thinking about that path. However, her monologue was interrupted by a beautiful woman who opened the gate to welcome them. She had green and wild hair. They understood that she was their instructor.
- Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Yaiko. Welcome to our Holiday Camping. Soon we will start our presentation in our auditorium. You can start leaving your things in your cottages. The girls cottage is on the right and the boys cottage is on the left. After leaving your things, I need you to join me in the auditorium.
She lets them pass and all of them went to their cottage where were their beds. After that, they leave the cottages and follow by a path from where they could see a climbing wall and activities on trees.
" Gosh! What was I thinking when I accept to come here?" - Usagi thought, seeing all those things.
They arrive to the auditorium where Yaiko was waiting for them. Next to her, there was a man dressed with the same instructor clothes as she and all the girls couldn´t stop dreaming with him. All the girls, except Usagi. She couldn´t believe when she saw Mamoru next to her. That was meaning that the handsome instructor who she heard talking about was him. Their looks cross with each other and Usagi couldn´t stop feeling annoyed with his teasing smile.
- Everyone, I present you my colleague, Mamoru. Together we are going to supervise your activities.
Usagi hated to admit it, but she couldn´t avoid feeling a little jealous because of Mamoru and that woman´s approaching. They were very close to each other. She had to shake her head to avoid those thoughts.
After their presentation, the woman gave them the list and schedule of their activities for the next two days, and badges with their identifications.
After dinner, Usagi goes to a particular place alone and sits behind a tree. She takes her cellphone from her pocket and turns it on. She sees Luna by the other side of the screen. Luna had a particular communicator from where Usagi could communicate by her own cellphone.
- How is it going? Did you arrive well? - asks Luna.
- Yes, I did. Thanks for asking. But this is not so good like I was thinking.
- Let me guess. You found out that you have lots of activities to do in there - Luna guessed with certain.
- Yes, but... How do you know?
- Usagi, you knew that you were going to an Holiday Camp. Is a place where you have lots of activities, not exactly a place to rest.
- Yes, but I didn´t know I had so many things to do. And I found out that one of my instructors is Mamoru - she protested.
- Usagi, you knew that you weren't to have sush a great fun in that place. You should have thing first about that before you accept to go on that school trip just because there was a handsome instructor in there.
- I didn´t know this instructor would be Mamoru. And now, I'm sure he will try to control my steps around here. I'm already seeing the whole movie. He will start pointing my defects and insist that I need to improve this and that.
- Well! He is your tutor and coach. Is normal that he will focus more in you. Anyway, I think you should see this like part of your warrior training.
- I don't have another choice, do I? I really need to use that as a motive to be in here. Otherwise I´ll not survive - she says with a defeated face.
- Don't be so melodramatic. Just focus on what you have to do. I've the feeling that you'll like that place more than you think.
- I doubt it. But I have to endure it.
She didn´t hear the steps behind of her.
- Talking alone, Odango Atama?
She turned off her cellphone immediately trying to avoid that Mamoru could see Luna´s face.
- No! I was talking with a friend - she says faster, putting her cellphone in her pocket.
- Your friend is your cat? - he asks with a teasing smile.
"Dammit" - she thought to herself, understanding that he saw Luna's face - No! My friend uses the image of my cat as the main image. She finds her so cute, you know? - she explains with a "yellow" smile, trying to be convincing about that weird explanation - May I ask what are you doing here? - she asks, trying to change of conversation, but still with the intention of knowing that.
- I was called to substitute an instructor in here. And you?
- Like you see, I´m in a school trip - she explains, pointing to her classmates.
- Very good. I´m some kind of curious of seeing how are you gonna pass by our activities. Are you seeing that climbing wall? - he asks, pointing to them - It will be your first exercise tomorrow. Are you able to pass by that? Of course you can give up before you start, or even before you finish.
She could hear the challenge in his provocative tone.
- Since I´m already here, I´m gonna pass by all what my classmates will pass, for much it will costs me - she decides.
- I hope so. If you give up, you´ll have to do 30 push ups in our next training.
- Another challenge? Are you still taking revenge on me for my last grade?
- No, is just a bet. But I admit that I was expecting a better grade from your part - he says, crossing his arms.
- Look! I had a 73%. Is a passing grade and the best grade I had until today.
- I know but you need to focus on getting better grades for the next times. You need to focus more in our tutorials classes.
- I do what I can in our classes.
- I know that, but since I'm here to help you improve yourself I need to be demanding with you.
- I see that you´ll not be satisfied until I get an 100%.
- That and that you pass by all these exercises in here. I'll pay attention to you.
- Really? Are you even thinking about that too?
- I've to. I'm your coach. And I need to see in what you need to improve.
- If you wanna do things like that, I warn you that you´ll have a lot of work with me. If I have to make a list of all those things that I need to improve I would never finish - she says without problems of that part of her.
- In that case, I´ll be around you for a long time.
- I can say the same thing about you. Are you ready to handle me for all that time? - she asks, continuing with their provocative conversation.
- More than you, I´m sure.
- We´ll see it. I´ve to go back now. But I´ll not forget our bet.
Both shared a challenger smile before she leaves.
The next day, after breakfast, all students where in front off the climbing wall.
- Oh, no. I´m gonna die in here - says Usagi with waterfalls coming out from her eyes.
- Relax, Usagi. You'll be safe - says Naru - You´ll use a belt and a rope. You don´t need to be affraid.
Naru is the first to start and Usagi was seeing her friend climbing without fears and problems.
Then Usagi sees Mamoru approaching of her from behind.
- Miss Tsukino, you´ll start with the help of my colleague in the other side of the wall - says Yaiko, while she was holding the rope that was supporting Naru.
" No problem! I´m already used to that " - she thought to herself. Somehow, she always ends being teached by him.
She put the belt around her waist and had to let him help her to adjust it. His arms were around her waist and his touch was so delightful and warm. She was feeling in heaven. That sensation was so protective and familiar to her.
- Alright, Odango Atama. Lets start! - he said, being closer to her ear.
When he called her that, she came back to reality and shaked her head.
" But what was I thinking?" - she thought, feeling ashame of that sensation she had. She even looked to her classmates, to make sure that they didn´t heard Mamoru calling her that name. They don´t know that she knows him and she hadn´t any intention of sharing that with them. Fortunattely, she saw that they didn´t listen him and she felt relieved - Well! Lets start this madness.
He was pulling her rope while she was climbing. She only could say all the bad things that were passing by her mind. That exercise was hard as hell and everytime she looked down, she ended with a pale face. Unfortunattle, she hadn´t another choice of doing that, since she needed to see where she had to put her feeth.
- Miss, you need to hurry up or we´ll not finish this - she hears Yaiko saying - You have your classmates waiting for you and we have to pass to the next exercise.
But how dared that insensitive woman talking with her like that? That was the first time that Usagi was doing that kind of exercise and she wasn´t feeling any obligation of doing it faster. She was about to answer harder from that point, but Mamoru is the first to talk.
- This girl is over my responsability. Don´t worry about her. All off them will have time of doing this - he answered politely, but with firmness.
The woman left from his side without know what to reply and under Usagi´s look of victory. After all, Mamoru and that woman weren´t so that closer to each other just like she thought.
After that, Usagi continued that exercise at her own rhythm. When she finished, she was about to ask Mamoru´s opinion about her evaluation, but she had to let pass another classmate and she couldn´t ask him anything.
Then, she sees Naru approaching of her.
- Did you see it, Usagi? You made it.
- You´ve right. It was hard, but I forgot all of that when I reach the top. I felt so accomplished when I made it - she said with enthusiasm.
When was the turn of the last girl to climb, the one who was a little more chubby than the others, she was from a considerable high when her belt rip. Fortunattely, she didn´t fall because she had her foot being hold by the rope. Yaiko had to let her down slowly to not let her fall. When she landed, Usagi and her friends surrounded her, feeling completely worried about her.
- Are you alright? - asks Usagi.
- No, I don´t! My footh hurts! - complains the girl painfully, touching her footh.
- Let me see! - asks Mamoru, aproaching of them.
He touches in the girl´s leg and rotates it. The girl screamed everytime he moved her ankle.
- It seems she has a twist. I need to take her to the nursery.
He helps her to get up and helps her walk until the nursery.
After that, Yaiko approaches of them.
- Alright, everyone. We had this small accident, but your classmate is already in good hands. But we can´t wait for her to start our Treasure Haunt, and we´ll start it now.
- What? But aren´t we suppose to do that after lunch? - asks Usagi suddently.
- Yes, but if you start now, you´ll finish it earlier.
- But what about our lunch? Will we take it with us?
- Of course not, Miss. You´ll take lunch after that.
- But what the hell are you saying? - Usagi insists, raising her voice - It is almost lunch time and this activity will take several hours. It´s in the schedule and is time enought to check if our friend can still join us.
- Usagi, calm down! - interfeers Miss Haruna, creating a barrier between Usagi and Yaiko - That is not way of talking with your instructor.
- And I don´t like to be questioned, so as punishment, you´ll not participate in this Treasure Haunt - decides Yaiko without mercy.
Then Miss Haruna turns suddently to the instructor.
- Just a moment. I didn´t finish yet - she says with firmness - I just prefer to be me to say what my student is saying. My students will not start an activity of several hours without eating. And, as you can see, one of my students ended hurt real bad and all of them are very disturbed because of that. So, in fact, they´ll need a break and to eat something. So, please, respect the schedule that you´ve made for them. Otherwise, I´ve to leave with them from this camping immediately.
Usagi couldn´t avoid a victorious smile after seeing the woman´s shocking face.
- As you wish. I´m gonna ask to serve your lunch right now.
She turns her back on them and all of them stood looking to her.
- This instructor is some kind of weird - says one of the students.
- She is very insensitive. Forcing us to start an activity like this without eating - says another one.
- Alright, everyone. This problem is solved. Lets not think about this anymore - says Miss Haruna - Lets have lunch now or you´ll not start this Treasure Haunt so that soon. And before that, we´ll check if your friend is still apt to join us - she says, mentioning the girl who got hurt.
Yaiko returns to the auditorium and looks around to see if she was alone. Then she turns on the screen and appears Jadeite on it.
- Why did you stop getting energy? - he asks suddently and sounding furious.
- Sorry, master. I can only get energy from them when they are doing activities. I had to stop for some hours or they would suspect of me. And all because of this human need of eating and because of that fat girl who got hurt - she says with contempt - If it wasn´t for her, I´m sure they wouldn´t mind to eat a bit later and start the Treasure Haunt right now. But you don´t need to worry about that. The best part will come tonight.
- I hope so. You know what will happen to you if you fail this mission.
- Trust me, master. I´ll not disappoint you.
After lunch, all students were in the outside waiting to start their next activity when Usagi sees Mamoru appearing from a discreet corner and runs to him.
- How is my friend? - she asks him.
- She is alright. But she can´t participate on this game. Her ankle is badly injured.
- Poor girl. Coming here with us to spend her time at the nursery... She doesn´t deserves that.
- At least, she can watch the movie that we prepared for your class tonight.
Usagi opens completely her eyes with happiness.
- Thats true. We have outdoor cinema tonight. I´m so excited with that.
Then suddently she remembers of the question that she had to put behind some moments ago, when her classemate got hurt, and now she remembered of that question again.
- Look! You didn´t tell me yet what do you thought about my climbing.
He stares at her with a mysterious look.
- You seemed a sloth - he said suddently, breaking that silence.
- What? - she asks, opening her eyes, trying to interiorize that answer.
- You were to much slow but perceptive like a sloth. I already noticed that you are slow doing exercises, but even then, you think in the best way to handle them.
She didn´t know if she should feel praised or angry.
- Really? Comparing a girl with an animal?
- It wasn´t you who said that you weren´t a lady?
- And I´m not. But I´m still a sweet girl - she says with a sweet voice.
- Really? And this sweet girl´s team will be able to finish this Treasure Haunt at first place?
- I´m sorry, but I´m not gonna promise you that. We are gonna take our time. I´m not gonna stress my team in the middle of a florest where we can get lost easily if we don´t pay attention.
He looks thoughtfull to her.
- Hmm! Is a wise decision, Odango Atama. Alright! I´ll forget this challenge. But prepare yourself because soon I´ll find another one for you.
- I´ll be waiting! - she accepts the challenge.
Before Usagi could return to the point where were her classemates, they heard a dog howling, but doing it in a way that it seemed that was in suffering. The sound was coming from the outside of the camping and both Usagi and Mamoru went in that direction. They saw a baby wolf trapped in a bear trap and crying.
- Oh! Poor wolf. We need to help him.
- Usagi, wait! - said Mamoru, before she could approach more of him - You need to be careful. He can be injured, but he still can be dangerous.
Mamoru took off his jacket and put it over the animal´s head.
- First, we need to cover his head, so he will not see us.
Both look at the wolf for some seconds, seeing that he was calming down.
- He seems more calm now. Lets try to open this trap now.
Both try to open the trap, but it was being very difficult. At that moment, Yaiko appears behind of them.
- We were looking for you, Miss Tsukino. I´m tired of your selfishness. We can´t start our Treasure Haunt without you.
- Miss Tsukino was helping me to free this baby wolf like is our duty - replied Mamoru - We also need your help to open this bear trap.
Yaiko joined them to free the poor wolf. Finally, they made it and Mamoru immediately called a Company to take the wolf from there and receive all the necessary treatments.
- I would never leave an injured animal just like that for any kind of evaluation or game, especially if it was me who hurt him - says Usagi without problems of speaking on that way - And I´m not understanding your coldness towards this situation. Helping animals should be your job more than anyone else in here. After all, you work in a camping. Protecting animals should be your duty.
- I didn´t helped you at first because I saw my colleague doing that. I thought you were being successful - she said showing a smile - But now, we are taking care of this situation and you can join now your team to start the game.
- You can go now, Usagi. This situation is under control - said Mamoru.
Even if she was still angry, Usagi thought that was the most racional thing to do. And since Mamoru was taking care of that situation now, she knew that she didn´t need to worry about that anymore. She went back to the camping, not noticing the devious look of Yaiko over her back.
" Your devious bratt! You´ll see what will happen to you and your friends. You´ll die slowly and I´ll be watching all of that with pleasure!"
They finished that game some hours later. For Usagi all those hours outside of the camping were a relief due to what was happening.
- You don´t look very pleasant of finishing this game - says Naru.
- Thinking that I need to be in the same place where that insensible woman is... - she said.
- I understand. And clearly she doesn´t like you very much either. But you don´t need to worry about that. Miss Haruna will not let her be abusive with us. And today we are going to have outdoor cinema. If Miss Yaiko planned that for us, maybe she isn´t so that bad.
- I hope you are right!
- And I hope that we arrive soon. I feel so tired.
Actually all Usagi´s classmates were complaining and feeling tired. Usagi wasn´t understanding why she wasn´t feeling so tired like all her classemates. There was a big difference between her and them.
When they arrived, they took a shower and next they went for dinner. After that, they went to the place were was about to start their cinema. It was a big area with a big screen and all of them had to sit in the floor. All were liking that. They felt so free of seeing a movie in a big screen in the middle of a florest.
While she was walking next to Naru and Umino in the direction of the cinema, Usagi saw that she wasn´t using her badge with her name. She remembered that she wasn´t using it since that morning and thought that would be better if she gets it in that moment to avoid problems. She went back to their cottage and tried to find her badge but she couldn´t find it anywhere. She gave up and decided to go to the cinema without it, praying that nobody would notice that she was using her badge.
Leaving the cabin, she sees Mamoru passing.
- Aren´t you going to the cinema? - she asks him.
- No. I´ve to do something else. Good movie, Odango Atama - he says, turning his back politely.
- Before you go, could you tell me if that baby wolf was ok?
- Yes. He was already took to an Animal Protection Center.
- Good. I´m glad to know that.
- I´ve to go now. See ya.
- See ya. " This guy has always work to do. It seems he never has fun. " - she thought, while she was about to join her classmates.
When she finds them, she sees all of them including Miss Haruna losing consciousness. She was trying to understand what was happening, but remembering her past fights, she didn´t took much time to understand that the enemy was behind of that.
Paying atention to what was happening and looking carefully to her classmates and to what was surrounding them, she understood that it was the screen that was taking their energy and from their badges. Thats why she didn´t feel so weak like her friends after the Treasure Haunt. She wasn´t using her badge.
Then, she saw Miss Yaiko over a branch from a high tree, watching what was happening with a wickly smile.
Clearly that woman was the enemy, what was not a surprise for her after everything what she saw from her, and there wasn´t time to lose.
- You´ll see, your devious woman! - she decided with firmness - MOON PRISM POWER! MAKE UP!
Yaiko was looking at everyone with pleasure, while they were losing their strenght and falling on the ground. But suddently, a glowing disk passes by everyone and breaks the screen. Shocked with that, Yaiko looks around to see if she sees anyone around there.
- Hey! Who is there? - asks Yaiko.
Then she sees the figure of a girl with odangos in front of her, catching the golding disk and leading it to her forehead.
- Pretending to be an instructor to attract young students to a deadly trip. Sush an horrible scheme is unforgivable! - says Sailor Moon, walking firmly over that brench and revealing her "true colors" under the moonlight - Im Sailor Moon! The warrior of Love and Justice. In name of the Moon I´ll punish you!
The woman immediately reveals her true demon form.
- What the hell! Each one of you is more ugly than the other - says Sailor Moon with disgust. Even if already passed many demons by her, she couldn´t stop feeling horrified with their looks.
The demon throws a bomb of energy but Sailor Moon could jump before being hit. However, the demon was faster and shoot another bomb of energy to Sailor Moon while she was in the air. Fortunattely she could grad a bindweed while she was falling and balanced herself until a point where she could fall over the demon. However, the demon could avoid her kick and jumped into another point of the brench. Both Sailor Moon and the demon stood looking to each other with an angry look.
All students started to recover their conscious and both looked to the brench were where the demon and Sailor Moon, she with her platinum blond hair shining at the moonlight. All of them looked to her incredulous.
- Hey! Is she! She is the Sailor who saved me on that day on my Jewelry - says Naru.
- Yes. Its her. I remember her - says Umino.
- I´ll never forget when she saved me - says Miss Haruna, joining her hands and with her eyes shining.
- ITS HER! ITS SAILOR MOON - everyone says with admiration - FINISH WITH HER, SAILOR MOON!
Sailor Moon was hearing them. At that moment, more than everything, she knew that they were counting with her and she couldn´t disappoint them. Anyway, she knew that this demon was to much perceptive. She felt that the demon would be able to avoid any attack of her. Then she looked over her and she thought a little better about that.
" Maybe if is not my attack that hits her... " - she thought strategically. She had to try it. She grabs her tiara and throws it far away from their view.
- You are sush an idiot warrior, Sailor Moon.
- I wouldn´t think like that - she said with a devious smile.
Then she made her tiara cameback without the demon notice and cut the brench that was holding the hive over them. The hive felt over the demon and she was desperate with all the bees around her. Sailor Moon knew it was her chance.
- MOON TIARA ACTION!
The demon disappeared in dust. All the students stood in there looking with admiration to Sailor Moon.
- Well done, Sailor Moon! - says Naru.
Sailor Moon greets everyone with a warm smile.
- Thank you, everyone! Buy!
She disappears behind of the trees and before she could take her transformation, she saw someone appear. She though that it was another demon and was prepared to attack it, but then she saw that was Tuxedo Kamen. He was staring at her with a warm smile.
- You were very brave, Sailor Moon. You are improving a lot.
- You were watching me? Why didn´t you show up?
- You had everything over control. I thought that interfering wouldn´t help you - he explains in his calm and wise way - And I wanted to see how you were improving and I must say that I´m very proud of you.
She couldn´t avoid looking at him with some sadness, even if he was praising her.
- I miss you! I like so much when I see you.
He caress gently her arms and she does the same thing. His sad and tender expression was leaving her thoughfull and probably thinking that he was suffering somehow.
- Me too. But for much that I miss you, I can´t be around the way I want. My mission is different of yours, Sailor Moon. Im sorry.
- Your mission? You have a mission?
- Yes. I´ve to find a very precious object.
- Why do you sound that you don´t like that mission? - she asks tenderly, but with careful.
- Because I don´t. But I don´t have another choice. Be careful, Sailor Moon - he touches her cheek gently and leaves.
The next day all the students left the camp. All of them thought that was weird that Miss Yaiko had gone, but since they weren´t missing her they didn´t think very much about her absence. They had to make the same path they did when they arrived, but this time was easy since they had to go down.
All of them were talking about Sailor Moon and her performance, and Usagi was feeling completely proud of that. When they arrive to the bus Usagi received a message. It was from Mamoru.
" Our next training will be in the Climbing Center of Tokyo. "
She couldn´t believe in what she was reading. That guy was crazy. After all the suffering of climbing that wall, he wanted to make her pass by the same thing? She was about to answer him, but he sent another message before she could.
" Unless thats an exercise to much hard for sush a sweet girl ".
Again that provocative doubt that she can´t stand. And even making fun of her. She types faster in her cellphone and with a mad face.
" Deal! The first to give up will have to pay 10 milkshakes. "
