"Seiya, stop acting like a fucking baby and get over it! She's okay!"
Seiya lifted her eyes up from their place on her hands, glaring at an annoyed Yaten. "Easy for you to say. Minako wasn't thrown through a window."
"Seiya, we-," started Taiki disapprovingly, but was cut off by Yaten, who glared back at Seiya as she jumped down from her stool.
"Now you fucking look here, Seiya. Taiki and I aren't going to keep putting up with your bitchiness all because you fell in love with someone that you can't ever have. Demo she's fine! Haruka and the others can take of her, so stop acting like a bitch and act like Fighter again, goddamnit!" yelled Yaten angrily, shoving Seiya.
Seiya growled, raising a hand to strike Yaten.
"Go on. I dare you. Show me how much of a bitch you've become now, Seiya. Go ahead," challenged Yaten, not breaking eye contact with Seiya.
Taiki got in between the two, shoving them away from each other and glared at them both. "Stop it. We don't have time for this."
"Move out of the way, Taiki," growled out Seiya angrily.
Yaten motioned for Seiya to come to her, snickering in a not so pleasant way. "Yeah, Taiki, let her by. I wanna kick her fucking ass right now."
"No you two are not. Now stop arguing and let's talk this out already, OK?" said Taiki, looking between the two.
Seiya sighed, rolling her eyes as Yaten flipped her hair and went over to the coffee table. "Anyway, here's my idea on what to do to stay disguised in order to help our friends."
Yaten raised an eyebrow, watching as Seiya took out a gym bag from underneath the table. "What? Wash your dirty ass laundry?"
Taiki glared at Yaten, who responded with a roll of her eyes, and turned back towards Seiya. "So what is it, Seiya?"
Seiya smiled, unzipping the bag and opened it wide to reveal its contents. "A flash from the pass."
Taiki's eyes widened in shock, gaping at the sight before her. "It can't be..."
"How did you get a hold of those?" asked an equally shocked Yaten, her eyes widened like saucers.
"I have my ways. But I guess judging from you guys' looks that you missed these, huh?" said Seiya, smirking.
Yaten shook her head, recovering as her cool demeanor returned and smirked also. "You're going to be the death of us, you know."
"Yes, I do and you still love me. Anyway, this is what we're going to do...," said Seiya, gesturing to the bag.
Later on that day:
"So do you suppose that they're our enemy?" asked Makoto, sitting a tray full of cookies, brownies, and drinks down on the table in Rei's room.
Rei took a cookie, shrugging. "Nobody knows. They could be allies for all we know."
"But they shouldn't be trusted because they're clearly intruders from another planet, " said Haruka sternly from her place beside Michiru.
"But, Haruka-san, they can't be all bad because they helped us yesterday, " protested Minako, taking a sip of her soda.
"That doesn't mean anything. They could be trying to get close in order to find out our weaknesses and to kill Koneko-chan, "replied an irritated Haruka at how oblivious the Inners seemed to be.
"But they helped us, " protested Makoto, glaring at Haruka.
"And that makes them our allies automatically? Wake up and smell the sugar plumes! They're our enemies! They can't be trusted!" said Haruka, returning Makoto's glare with her own.
"Oh really? So that means-."
"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!" cried a familiar voice from the doorway.
Everyone turned their attention towards a distressed Usagi, who was standing in the doorway with Luna on her shoulder.
"Koneko-chan ..."
"Usagi-chan ..."
"Usagi-sama ..."
"Usagi-hime ..."
Usagi shook her head, tears welling within her eyes. "No, just stop it. Stop fighting. We're friends."
Everyone looked away in shame from Usagi's saddened, disappointed gaze.
Haruka looked back up at Usagi, looking into her eyes. "But, Koneko-chan, they're -."
"Right because they wouldn't have helped us if they weren't friends. Though I think that they are..."
Rei frowned, looking at Usagi as the younger girl looked away. "Think that they are what?"
'The Sailor Starlights...'
Usagi shook her head, forcing a smile. "Nevermind. I was just daydreaming."
"You miss Mamoru-san, don't you?" asked Michiru, looking at Usagi with pity.
"I do. But I'm okay since he calls me every night before he goes to his classes," lied Usagi, hiding her internal sadness.
"Ok. But what do you say about the Sailor Starlights actually being those women from yesterday? That's what my hunch is, "said Rei, looking at Usagi.
"I don't think so because Seiya, Taiki, and/or Yaten would've told us if they were them instead of running away, " said Usagi, sighing.
Minako looked at Usagi with worry, noticing how distressed Usagi was. "But are you sure that you're okay? I can take -."
Usagi shook her head, forcing another smile. "Yes, I'm fine. But I have to go now. Mama needs me to pick up some thing for her, so see you later."
Usagi turned around and walked away, leaving her friends to look after her with worry and sadness.
"Usagi-chan ...," said Rei as Usagi's form disappeared from their view.
"What am I doing? I'm suppose to be helping them find Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten, not moping around, "whispered Usagi to herself, walking down the street.
Usagi sighed, rubbing her temple. "Who am I kidding? I'm weak. Always have been and-AH!" cried Usagi as she ran into a person, falling down and landed on her butt, cringing.
Usagi looked up at the stranger, rubbing her head. "Sorry about that. I wasn't paying any attention and -OW!"
Usagi cried out in pain as she was suddenly tugged up by the stranger, trying to yank out of their grasp. "Let me go!"
The man glared down at Usagi, tightening his grip on her arm and said,"You ran into me, you stupid wench. Watch where in the hell you're going or el-."
"Or else what? She just fucking ran into you by accident. So calm the hell down and take it up with me if you still have a problem, "said a familiar voice from behind the stranger.
The man turned around, glaring at the dark-haired woman behind him and said through clenched teeth, "As if I'm scared of you."
Seiya glared at him, anger boiling within her as more pain crossed over Usagi's face. "Back off of her, you bastard."
"Or else you'll what? Slap me to death?" taunted the man, laughing without noticing the smirk on Seiya's face.
"No, but I could do this, "said Seiya, raising a fist and delivered a punch to the man's face, following it up with a kick to his stomach once he releases his grip on Usagi.
The man glared up at Seiya, growling. "Why, you little wench? I'm going to-."
Seiya knocked the man out by punching him in the face, smirking when the sound of his nose breaking filled her ears and said,"There. Much better look for you. Shouldn't have messed with my friend."
Seiya turned around to continue on her way to the men's store when she heard a familiar, angelic voice utter a word that she never thought that she'll have to hear again.
"Seiya?"
Seiya slowly turned back around to look at Usagi as the blonde looked at her in shock and bewilderment.
Usagi made a move towards her, raising a hand to her face. "Is it really you, Seiya?"
Seiya gulped, her heart beating extremely hard within her chest and echoed in her ears. 'Oh shit, she knows' thought Seiya in panic.
"Seiya?" asked Usagi, raising a hand to Seiya's face before Seiya snapped away from her hand as if she were going to be burned and opened her mouth to protest when Seiya broke into a run.
Seiya ran and ran and ran, hearing Usagi trailing a bit behind her.
"Wait! Seiya!" called Usagi, tripping over a box after a while and landed on her knees, crying out in pain.
Seiya looked over her shoulder, guilt and concern filling her heart at the heartbreaking sight of an injured Usagi cradling her bleeding knees and continued to run, until she was losted within the crowd.
Usagi watched as Seiya disappeared into the crowd, tears welling up within her eyes as she whispered sadly,"Come back ..."
Yaten looked at her watch, growling in fustration and annoyance. "Where in the hell could she be? It does not take that long to go to the fucking store to get some more food!"
Taiki rolled her eyes, looking up at Yaten over her book. "She probably got sidetracked by an accident or something. Yaten. Just give her a few more minutes and she'll be-."
Taiki was cut off by the sound of the door opening and slamming shut, causing the two older lights to turn towards the commotion and frowned when they saw a panting Seiya standing there with no bags.
Yaten scowled, getting up from her place on her lounge chair. "What's wrong, Seiya?"
"We've got trouble, " panted out Seiya, passing out from exhaustion.
Next Time on Sailor Moon: Shooting Starlights:
"What the hell did you do?"
"Hi, Mamo-chan. How are you?"
"Seiya, why won't you talk to me? Aren't we friends?"
"Where in the hell did she go?"
"I'm sorry..."
