Author's notes... - This whole chapter has more stuff happening. The last chapter was kind of boring…for me. Anyway, it's a bit of a build-up to later chapters…
To my reviewers of chapter four:
Kawaii Rubber Ducky – Thanks for reviewing…wow, I hope I didn't confuse people…in chapter two when Touya first came in to the battle, he was surprised to see spirits in the cloud of dust, due to his ability to see them (this will be explained deeper in a later chapter), and Tomoyo was there when he expressed his surprise. So, she knows…and he told Yukito/Yue because Yue would have found out anyway, and Yukito's his best friend. I hope I've answered your questions.
shortygirl333 – thanks for reviewing!
animefan518 – Thank you!
Chibi Ame – Thank you so much! I guess I didn't really like that chapter because nothing much happened…there wasn't much information and no action…but everyone to his own I guess. Anyway, thanks again for reviewing!

Chapter 5
"Can you tell me where we are?" Mamoru said to the figure in front of him.
She giggled. "You know I can't tell you that!" She teased. "You've asked me that every day! Why are you so desperate to get out anyway?"
"I want to let my girlfriend know that I'm alright."
"It seems that you're a little too obsessed with this girlfriend of yours." The girl said. She twirled her brown hair around her finger as she sat down on Mamoru's lap.
"Obsession's not the word." Mamoru said.
"Look, if you're so in love with this guy." A man said as he walked into the room. "I can be him." The man changed shape so that he looked like Mamoru.
"It's called infatuation." The girl said as she got up.
"It's called get off of him. You know what she said." He said calmly.
Mamoru sighed and lay down on his bed as the two kept arguing. It eventually got out of hand and the man who looked like Mamoru pulled a knife and threatened to bring it down on Mamoru. Just as the knife came within a foot of Mamoru, a force field knocked him away and the man was thrown across the room. The girl gasped as he went back to his old form and she kneeled next to him.
"I said you could talk to him and learn from him, not kill him." Said a girl as she came into the room. She looked younger than the two people, a year or two older than Chibi-Usa. She had short black hair, and bright blue eyes. This girl had been the one who had captured Mamoru.
"We're sorry." The man said.
"We are?" The older girl asked.
"Get out." The younger girl said. The two left without argument. "Are you fully awake yet?"
"No." Mamoru replied. "I need more sleep. If you would make those two stay out of this room, I could get it."
"I thought you didn't want to give my your energy."
"Staying awake is getting harder." Mamoru said.
"You can't stay awake for ever, besides, you're just prolonging the inevitable anyway."
"At least prolonging the inevitable is better than succumbing to it."
The girl's face did not change as she stared at Mamoru for a moment before leaving.

"I don't like those girls." Touya said.
"Yes Touya-kun, we know." Yukito said.
"But no one seems to be getting it. They're untrustworthy."
"Well, we can always scare them into trusting us." Tomoyo said, smiling slightly.
Yukito blushed. "Was it really that bad?"
"You scared the heck out of them." Kero said.
"It wasn't me! It was Yue-san!" Yukito exclaimed.
"Yeah, stop teasing him." Sakura said.
"Thank you Sakura-chan." Yukito said.
"The looks on their faces were pretty funny." Sakura said. "I mean, Yue-san didn't even scare me that much when I first saw him."
"Yue wants to say that you were very courageous that day." Yukito said. "I wish you would stop doing that." He said quietly. The others ignored this. Ever since Yukito and Yue could access each other thoughts, Yukito had been known to accidentally argue with Yue aloud. Yue managed not to respond when Yukito's consciousness was screaming at him.
"Anyway, I'd rather earn their trust than scare it out of them." Sakura said.
"But that would be so much fun." Kero said. "Why don't I just turn into Cerberus and threaten to eat them."
"I think Yue-san scared them more than you would Kero-chan." Tomoyo said, smirking.
"Well I don't think we should joke about this. That poor girl lost her boyfriend to whatever that thing was and she was absolutely heartbroken." Sakura said.
"Boo hoo." Kero said. "She said it herself, it was her own fault."
"She should be going through a major guilt trip right now." Touya said.
"And if she's not, then there's something wrong with her." Kero added.
Touya looked at his watch. "Anyway, it's getting late, time to go. Come on Yukito-kun. Tomoyo-chan, do you want a drive?"
"No, I think I'll stay a little longer, thank you."
"Don't stay too long, you never know what could happen tomorrow." Touya said. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Onii-san." Sakura called before hearing the front door close.
"Well, I'm going to bed." Kero said. "See you in the morning."
"Goodnight Kero-chan." Both girls said as he flew up the stairs.
"Those girls seem like they've been through a lot." Tomoyo said.
"Yeah, it's like they know they'll get over this somehow, even if it seems hopeless."
Tomoyo looked up. "You shouldn't question yourself, Sakura-chan."
"But he's been gone for a week and we have no idea of how to get him back, I'm getting really worried."
"Don't worry Sakura-chan, we'll get through this." Tomoyo said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Sakura returned with a weak smile. She looked back down at a magazine she had been reading over and over during the week. It was the one that Tomoyo had given her, and Sakura was still trying to find something, even if she didn't know what it was yet.
"Tomoyo-chan, what do you think these girls have been through exactly?"
"I'm no sure, like I said, it seems they've been through a lot."
"But some of them are so cold, even after losing one of their teammates. How do we even know he's still alive?"
"Come on Sakura-chan. Don't lose hope. If you lose hope than where am I going to get my hope?" Tomoyo said, cracking a smile. "We will get through this."
Sakura sighed. "Okay, if you say so Tomoyo-chan."

"That guy freaked the heck out of me." Minako said. She and the inner senshi were once again sitting in Rei's temple doing homework.
"I don't think he was human." Makoto said.
"He wasn't, humans don't have wings." Ami said as she attempted to sort out her papers. "I wish Haruka-san had let me ask them some questions. And I wish you had let me bring my papers."
"Ami-chan." Rei started. "I don't think that you understand how weird we would look if you brought a whole bunch of information about them and turned the visit into an interview."
"I know that it would look weird, but this is magic we're talking about, it's always been and always will be out of the ordinary." Ami replied.
"Anyway, back to this YueReed guy." Minako said. "He was so creepy. It's like he sees everything."
"His eyes were so cold. It sent shivers down my spine." Makoto said.
"He seems to know everything, more than we did, but he was holding back." Rei said.
"Oh well. At least he's on our side." Usagi said.
"On our side?" Ami asked. "What do you mean Usagi-chan?"
"Those people are helping us, isn't that all that matters? It's not like they're the people who took Mamo-chan."
"But we don't know that we can trust them to fight with us." Rei said.
"Usagi-chan's right. Kinomoto-san seemed like a very nice person." Minako said. All of her friends turned to her with suspicious looks.
"Which one?" Rei asked. All of the girls had seen her eyeing Kinomoto Sakura's older brother.
Minako laughed nervously. "Both of them."
"you hardly paid any attention to Kinomoto Sakura." Makoto said.
"That's not true!" Minako argued. "I know just as much about Kinomoto Sakura as the rest of you. Except for Ami-chan."
"What time is it?" Someone asked from the doorway. Chibi-Usa stood there when the five girls turned to see. Usagi smiled and a huge weight seemed to lift off of her shoulders. As long as Chibi-Usa was still there, Usagi knew that Mamoru was not being threatened with his life or anything.
"Almost five." Ami said.
"Usagi-san, I'm sorry, but I've got to go back home." Chibi-Usa said.
"Why?" Usagi asked.
"I've been here for over a week. Okaa-san doesn't like me to be away for a long time."
"I'm sure I'll understand." Usagi said.
"No, I'm sorry. I really have to go." Chibi-Usa said. "I'll see you again soon."
"Goodbye Chibi-Usa-chan." The group said. Usagi and Chibi-Usa shared one last depressed eye-lock before Chibi-Usa turned away from the doorway and started towards the Tsukino household.

"Tomoyo-chan." Chiharu hissed before turning back to the teacher and pretending to listen again. When the teacher turned back to write on the board, Chiharu looked back at her friend. "Tomoyo-chan."
Tomoyo looked at her in mild surprise. She looked up at the teacher as she took the note in Chiharu's hand. 'Let's meet after class to talk about this weekend'. Tomoyo looked at Chiharu and nodded. Takashi was behind Chiharu, idly playing with one of her long pigtails. She whispered something to him and he nodded tiredly. Tomoyo guessed that Chiharu was telling Rika and Naoko to meet after school with them as Chiharu sent notes to the other two girls. Tomoyo glanced over at Sakura, who was staring at the clock, as if willing it to go faster. Finally, as if by some long awaited miracle, the bell rang and the classroom erupted with sound.
"Sakura-chan." Tomoyo started. "Are you going home right away?"
"Yes, I'm tired and I have math homework." Sakura said. Tomoyo walked with her to the front gate of the school and watched her skate down the street.
"Tomoyo-chan?" Rika asked from behind her.
"Yes?" Tomoyo turned to see the whole gang behind her. "What would you like to talk about? I thought it was all organized."
"It is, we're just a little nervous about this special surprise you're planning. How are we supposed to play along if don't know what the surprise is?" Chiharu asked.
Tomoyo smiled knowingly. "I've taken care of everything, you don't have to worry."
The girls frowned in dissatisfaction. Takashi still looked tired and he looked around impatiently.
"Chiharu-chan." Takashi whined. "Can we go? I'm so tired."
"It's your fault, you're the one who kept me up all night talking on the phone." Chiharu said over her shoulder.
"I was wondering why you two were so groggy all day." Naoko said, giggling. Chiharu gave her a slight glare before sighing.
"Come on Takashi-kun, I'm tired too." Chiharu said as she took her boyfriend's hand and started walking home. Tomoyo smiled at Rika and Naoko before turning and walking away.

Mamoru sighed heavily as he was half-dragged down the hall. He looked around at the many different doors lining the hallway, many times had he looked through all of these doors, trying to find a way out, but he never found one. One of the doors ahead of him opened and a young woman popped her head out from behind it.
"Yang, get back to work." A female voice said from behind Mamoru. It was the girl who had captured him, the girl with blue eyes and black hair. Yang immediately closed the door, the fearful look on her face not hidden in the least bit.
Mamoru pulled his arm back a little, pulling against the force that was leading him down the hall. He knew the girl's power was too strong for him to break, but it was better than giving in. The door at the end of the hall was their destination, Mamoru had been in there only two times before, all the more reason not to go in a third time. It was a big, dark room with a strange metal contraption in the center. Mamoru would be hooked up to the machine through a bunch of wires and braces, and somehow, the machine sucked the energy out of him and transferred it into a crystal ball that was closely watched by the girl presently taking Mamoru to that room.
Mamoru felt cold metal fasten around his wrists, neck and ankles. Wires attached themselves to all different parts of his body. He shifted his weight slightly before the machinery around him lit up. He was inside a glass compartment with machine parts running up the sides. He could see the girl pushing different buttons to put the machine to full power. She put it too far and Mamoru let out a scream of pain.
"Oops, sorry." The girl said carelessly.
"You're the strangest captor I've ever had." Mamoru panted after she turned the power down.
"Why do you say that?"
"I have my own room, a comfortable bed, and the only torture I receive is from Yin and Yang."
"Well, I don't need you dead, I need your energy."
"Why me? Why did you take me instead of some random person off the street? Was it to torture Sailor Moon?"
"Although torturing Sailor Moon was an added bonus, that wasn't my intention. You and the Sailor Senshi have the highest amounts of energy on the planet Earth. I would have liked to capture Sailor Moon or your daughter, but it just seems like it would be too much of a handful."
Mamoru's eyes started getting heavy. "Am I done yet?"
"No, the crystal's just half full now. You need to come back in here a few more times."
Mamoru moaned at the quickly coming sleep. It was almost unnatural, less than ten minutes before he had been wide-awake. He finally fell asleep and the energy stopped flowing into the crystal ball. The girl used her magic to carry him back to his room. She then went back to the room where Yin and Yang were supposed to be working. Instead, Yang was teasing Yin with a pen. Yang was the feminine of the two shape-shifters, Yin's mind was more masculine. Yang was open, Yin was closed. The only flaw in their creation was their golden eyes. Yin's right eye was golden, Yang's left eye was the same, and they couldn't change that in their shape shifting.
"Yang, I told you to get to work."
Yang looked up before sitting down in Yin's lap. "Sorry Mistress. I just don't understand why we have to do all of this work."
"If you don't do this work, you wreck a portion of my plan."
"Yang's just having fun." Yin said as his hand rested on her hips. "And we know all of these things."
"You have to make this believable."
Yin and Yang sighed in unison and went back to work.
