Author's Notes: Uh, there's nothing to say really…only that after this chapter, there will be a lot less fighting (not that there's a lot now…) for a few chapters. Once you read, I think it will be quite obvious why.

To my reviewers of chapter two:

Ice-Jade-Angel – thank you! Keep reading!

dbzgtfan2004 – thanks, keep reading!

Kawaii Rubber Ducky – Thank you! By the way, I absolutely love your name!

Chibi Ame – Wow, 'adoring fan', that makes me feel so wonderfully special. Thanks so much for your awesome reviews!

Chapter 3

Touya almost blew up when he heard his sister's scream. Cerberus stood in front of him to prevent Touya from putting himself in danger. Everyone watched as Sakura was held out in the air. There was a vine around her ankles, one around her waist and arms and one around her shoulders.

"We have to save her!" Touya said, taking a step forward.

"It's a trap." Cerberus said. "We wait until the right time."

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

All three beings turned to look at the girl with long raven hair who had attacked.

"I knew it." Cerberus said. "A bunch of stupid girls in sailor suits."

Touya watched Cerberus run towards the girls to warn them, then looked up at his sister.

"Don't you dare." Tomoyo warned from behind him.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Touya asked. Tomoyo latched herself onto his arm, and he just couldn't go very far with a fifteen-year-old girl hanging off of him.

The sailor senshi gasped as Sailor Mars was nearly tackled by a lion with a helmet and wings.

"It's a trap!" The lion roared. "Let me handle this, or else one of you will be captured."

"What are you talking about?" Sailor Uranus said. "If we leave her up there something worse may happen."

"Let me handle this." The lion repeated. He took off and flew up to his mistress.

"Kero-chan!" Sakura called. She struggled to move. "My staff fell onto the ground!"

"Don't worry, it won't be harmed, right now we're worrying about you."

"Kero-chan it's a trap" Sakura said.

"We know that, otherwise your brother would be in there getting himself killed." Cerberus said.

Despite her current state, Sakura laughed as she saw her brother trying to wrestle Tomoyo off of himself.

"Kero-chan?" Sakura looked around to see that Cerberus was gone. She sighed and looked down at everyone below.

Cerberus squinted as he flew along side the vine. He stopped suddenly and turned around, just in time for the explosion to come. He heard Sakura scream as he was blown past her. He turned back around and tried again. As he got deeper, he could make out the faint shadow of a person who seemed to be holding the vines. He heard her laugh as he landed. The shadow raised its hand and Cerberus narrowly dodged the balls of dark energy flying at him. More came, fast and furiously and Cerberus was hit on one of his front legs and his head before he fell and transformed back into his teddy bear state.

"Sailor Moon! He said it was a trap!" Tuxedo Kamen called as he ran after his girlfriend.

"I don't care, it's been too long." Sailor Moon replied.

"I am not going to let you get captured." Tuxedo Kamen said as he grabbed her wrist.

Sailor Moon looked down at her other hand. "Too late."

Tuxedo Kamen tried his best not to panic as he attempted to get the vine off of Sailor Moon's wrist. She suddenly screamed and Tuxedo Kamen felt a vine tighten around his neck. He stumbled backwards as he tried to pull the vine off. There was an evil laugh as more vines wrapped around his arms and legs.

"What are you laughing at!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"You, pathetic girl." A female voice said.

Sailor Moon looked around. The vine on her arm seemed to be there only to hold her still, while Tuxedo Kamen was taken away from her. He was disappearing as she struggled to get to him.

"Your lover will prove an interesting hostage, Sailor Moon." The voice said.

"Bring him back!" Sailor Moon called into the dust. She wondered how it could stay there so long. She then realized that for the most part it was fog, given a reddish tint by the small particles of dust in the air.

The voice gave a laugh that echoed through the nothingness until the vine around Sailor Moon's arm loosened and retreated.

Tomoyo gasped as she heard an evil laughter coming from the cloud. She let go of Touya who ran towards his sister. Everyone watched as the vines simply let go of Sakura and let her fall.

"Onii-san!" Sakura called as she fell. Touya was there just in time to catch her.

The fog cleared quickly and the sailor senshi ran in when they saw Sailor Moon kneeling on the ground, crying.

"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mars said, kneeling in front of her friend to try and see her face.

"He's gone!" Sailor Moon cried. "That thing took him."

"Oh no." Sailor Mars whispered. She looked up at their homemade battlefield and saw no sign of a void or portal.

"Come on, we'll help you home." Sailor Venus said, crouching next to Sailor Mars.

Sailor Moon brought her tear-filled eyes up to look at her friends. She nodded and they helped her stand.

"You can let me down now." Sakura said to her brother.

"No." Touya replied.

"Onii-san." Sakura said, warning in her tone. "I have to go find Kero-chan."

"Why?" Touya asked.

"I'm afraid that he's hurt…" Sakura said. "And I have to find my staff."

Touya sighed and let his sister down. "There you go kaijuu."

Sakura smiled and ran towards her guardian.

"Kero-chan?"

"I'm wounded! Someone help me!" Kero said in a strained voice.

"Kero-chan are you okay?" Sakura asked. There was a scrape on his left arm and on his forehead.

"Do I look okay?" Kero asked.

"Well…no." Sakura said.

"Okay. Now that we've got that settled I'm going to give that girl a piece of my mind." Kero said, floating away.

"Why?" Sakura asked as she looked around for her staff.

"Because she and that guy stepped right into that trap even after I warned them, and now she's lost her little boyfriend."

Sakura glanced at the group of sailor senshi, trying to cheer Sailor Moon up. "I wouldn't give her a piece of your mind right now, Kero-chan."

"And why not?" Kero asked.

Sakura gave him a pleading look and Kero gave up.

"Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said. "What happened while you were in there?"

Sakura looked up at her best friend, her brother walking up behind her.

"I heard a voice. She told me that she was going to take someone, and she tied me up in those vines before I could do anything. She told me she needed someone that was weak-minded and faint of heart and then she put me in the air." Sakura explained.

"Kinomoto-san?"

"Yes?" Both Sakura and Touya looked up to see a girl with wavy turquoise hair. She was wearing a sailor suit, like the rest.

"Oh…" Touya mumbled as he realized the girl was talking to Sakura.

The girl smiled sweetly and turned to Sakura. "My teammates and I were wondering if we could just set up a time when we could have a meeting and talk."

"That would be great! But…" Sakura looked at her brother. "We live in Tomeada."

"Oh." The girl looked a little surprised. "Well if you can tell us your address I'm sure that we'd be able to set something up."

Tomoyo saw Touya's suspicious glare out of the corner of her eye. "We can meet at my house."

"But Tomoyo-chan-." Sakura said, she was cut off by her brother's hand on her shoulder.

"No, it's okay Sakura-chan." Tomoyo said, writing down her address on a piece of paper. She handed it to the girl as another came up behind her. This girl had very short blonde hair.

"Let's go." The blonde said.

"Okay. Thank you." The girl said. She smiled at the group and left with her friend.

Touya sighed heavily and looked back at his sister. She had fallen asleep in the back seat. He turned back to look at the road.

"Thank you." He said to Tomoyo in the passenger seat. "You know, for giving them your address instead. I'm sorry that you felt you had to do it, but since I moved out Sakura-chan virtually lives on her own."

"It's okay. My mother has CCTV cameras set up everywhere in our house, so it doesn't really matter who comes and goes." Tomoyo said, smiling.

"Yeah, I know. I don't want to put her in any danger; our dad has been working a lot lately. I just wouldn't be able to leave her alone with a bunch of people I don't know."

"I know." Tomoyo replied. "I wouldn't want to do that to her either." She said. She looked down at Kero, who was asleep in her arms.

"Usagi-chan, what's wrong?" Naru asked, voice full of concern. "You haven't spoken a word all day."

Usagi didn't move. The first thing that morning she had dropped her bag on her desk and slumped down into her chair. A distant sadness had stayed in her eyes all day and she hadn't even bothered to give the teachers the usual fake smile she gave them when she was upset.

"Maybe she's sleeping with her eyes open." Gurio said, staring at Usagi across the desk.

"I doubt that." Naru said, rolling her eyes.

Gurio waved a hand in front of Usagi's face. Usagi buried her head into her arms.

"Leave me alone." She grumbled.

"But you have to go eat lunch." Naru said.

"I don't want to, leave me alone." Usagi replied.

"Besides Naru-chan, we've got biology after and-." Gurio started. He was stopped when Naru put him in a headlock and covered his mouth.

"Tell us what's wrong Usagi-chan." Naru said.

"Just go away." Usagi said. Naru sighed and gave up, taking her hand away from Gurio's mouth.

"That usually makes us sick!" Gurio exclaimed, finishing his sentence from before. Naru gave him a strange look.

"Come on." Naru said as she dragged Gurio out of the room.

"Takashi-kun, will you ever learn!" Chiharu said, hitting her boyfriend over the head for what had to be the tenth time that day.

"I'm just having fun Chiharu-chan." Takashi replied, he gave her the most innocent face he could give and Chiharu sighed and gave him a lopsided smile.

"You two are so kawaii!" Tomoyo exclaimed from beside Chiharu. The couple looked around to see her smiling at them with stars in her eyes, hands clasped together. Sakura giggled from where she was beside Tomoyo.

"I don't think you'll ever change either Tomoyo-chan." Chiharu said, smiling sheepishly.

"Hey guys!" Naoko shouted from the entrance of the school, they were presently walking towards the gates, school was finished and they were all going home.

"Naoko-chan!" Sakura called, waving. Naoko ran towards them to stand beside Takashi.

"Where's Rika-chan?" Naoko asked, noticing the girl's absence.

"She said she had to finish something for Terada-sensei." Chiharu said.

"Oh." Naoko said. "Well, there's my ride, see you tomorrow!" She said as she ran off towards the cars that were lining up outside the school. Sakura looked down at her roller-blades and then up at the gray sky. A drop of water fell on her nose and she quickly rubbed it off.

"Looks like you're going to have to keep me dry all the way home." Chiharu said to Takashi happily.

"Yippee." Takashi said sarcastically.

"Oh, there's my ride." Tomoyo said. "I'll give you a ride home Sakura-chan, you can't roller-blade in the rain."

"Thank you." Sakura said. She and Tomoyo made their way to the limousine after saying goodbye to Chiharu and Takashi, who seemed perfectly content to walk home together in the rain.

After the car had started moving, Tomoyo suddenly remembered something. She dug through her book bag until she finally came across the thing she had been searching for. It was a magazine, and on the cover was a picture of ten figures. The picture was blurry, and there was no way of telling exactly what each figure was doing, but one of the headlines read 'Full article on these mysterious girls!'. The magazine was a couple years old, but it was the best one Tomoyo could find.

"Here Sakura-chan, I found this for you." Tomoyo said as she handed Sakura the magazine.

"Oh, thank you Tomoyo-chan. I feel really guilty about what happened to that man."

"You shouldn't feel guilty, it wasn't your fault." Tomoyo reassured her.

"Yes it is, I couldn't fight her off long enough and she caught me. I need to be stronger." Sakura said.

"Oh well, I'm sure you'll be able to save him Sakura-chan. Look, your brother is visiting again today." Tomoyo pointed at Touya's car, parked in the driveway in front of Sakura's house.

"Okay, goodbye Tomoyo-chan, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye Sakura-chan."

Sakura grabbed her bag and the magazine and ran into her house, to be greeted by a very pleasant smell as she came in the door.

"Onii-san! Are you here?" She called into the house.

"I'm in the kitchen." Touya replied. Sakura dropped her bag and walked into the kitchen to find her brother cooking. She put the magazine on the counter and sat down at the table.

"That's supposed to be those girls." Touya said. "But there's one more in the picture."

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, looking at her brother in confusion.

"There are ten people here, we only saw nine in the woods on the highway. Including the guy in the cape." Touya said.

This sparked Sakura's curiosity, a slight worry started in the back of her mind. "What do you think happened?"

"Well this might be a fake picture." Touya said. He went back to cooking. Sakura got up and looked at the magazine closer.

"No, there's the short pink girl, the one with the pigtails and the guy with the cape. It's not very clear but they all look familiar. It's this girl that I haven't seen before." Sakura put her finger on one of the figures. She was the tallest of the girls and had long hair. She was holding a long staff and had a confident posture, but due to the blurred photo, Sakura couldn't make out her face.

"Something must have happened to her." Sakura said. She looked up at what Touya was cooking. "What's that?"

"It's curry." Touya replied.

"Curry? Isn't that Indian?"

"Yes, it is. I had a friend who taught me how to make it. Oh, Yukito-kun's coming over for dinner so you better get started on dessert if we're going to have enough." Touya said.

Sakura sighed and started taking things out of the fridge.
