Well, I'm quite enjoying this whole story thing… Sorry, this chapter is a little late, only because I went away for a week and was too busy to write anything. And then two weeks in a row I had to go on trips for school sports. Oh dear, I am a busy, busy girl.
To my reviewers of chapter seven:
The True Queen of Hell – Thanks! More brother sister loveliness on the way!
shortygirl333 – thanks for the review!
Chibi Ame – Thanks! You're right, the Hisano twins will play a part in this story, I would never put in these wonderful characters for no reason, although I cannot reveal their part yet. Haruka thinks she will never step foot in Tomeada again…and she may or may not, depending on what I write…this will hopefully be a wonderful CCS/Sailor Moon cross over…no matter what. Anyway, thanks for the compliments!
Taeniaea – Thanks for your reviews!

Chapter 8"Mizuno Ami, I presume."
Ami looked up from her computer as someone came into the room. She rolled her eyes and nodded. "How do you know?"
"Mizuno-san, how could anyone not? You are no less than an academic legend in this school."
Ami glared at him, hating the compliment more with every passing second.
"What do you want?" She demanded.
The brunette held up his hands in defense. "I want nothing more than to make your humble acquaintance."
She rolled her eyes again. "Then let's start again, shall we?"
His smile made her want to do something very violent involving the computer mouse and a pencil. "My name is Hisano Yojiro." He held out his hand.
"Mizuno Ami, pleased to meet you and welcome to our school." She said, only giving a little false cheeriness. She shook his hand and turned back to her computer.
He didn't show any signs of leaving and this annoyed her to no end.
"I have work to do." She said bluntly.
He smiled that soft smile again and started toward the door. "Well, if that's the case, goodbye for now, Mizuno-san."
She didn't reply as he continued out the door to where his brother was waiting outside.

"Hmmm…" The girl said thoughtfully, staring down at the crystal. A loose strand of black hair fell in front of her face but she paid it no mind.
"What?" Mamoru said with a deep breath.
"You seem to be building a barrier." She said, fascinated. "Have you been exposed to this kind of magic before?"
Mamoru shifted uncomfortably. "I…I don't…know…" He muttered.
"Physical reactions are the same though." She said to herself. "It's your mental state. Hmmm… Maybe your emotions will be completely drained by this." She stopped and tilted her head up to think. "No, you'll remain the same. You'll get to go back to your precious Sailor Moon the same as you always were."
There was a sudden change in the pace of the way the energy flowed into the crystal for a split second. It quickened and something in the girl's deep blue eyes flickered into an excited flame.
"I seem to have struck a chord." She said, smiling maniacally. "Of course, passion, one of the strongest energies." She looked at him. "Can you hear me?"
He didn't respond. She looked down at the crystal as the energy flow slowed and stopped. She sighed and opened the compartment with her mind, levitating Mamoru out and down the hall. When he was sleeping peacefully on his bed, she left; making sure the door was locked. After all, Yin and Yang would be back soon, and they would be upset.

"Would you like some more, Tomoyo-chan?" Touya asked, as he noticed her plate was empty.
"No thank you, Touya-san." She said politely, smiling at him.
"Onii-san, you're not going to offer your own sister some more?" Sakura asked.
"Quiet kaijuu." Touya stuck out his tongue at her as he passed her the food. She mimicked him and Tomoyo giggled.
"Well, I have to leave, I'll see you two tomorrow." Touya said. He got up from the table, grabbed his jacket and headed out the door.
"It's almost like he lives here again." Sakura said.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Tomoyo said cheerily.
"Not when he's being annoying." Sakura said, jabbing her food with her fork.
"I would think it would be nice to have an older brother who wanted to protect you forever." Tomoyo replied dreamily.
"Well Tomoyo-chan, you haven't experienced the bad side of it." Sakura said. "He's always teasing me!"
Tomoyo giggled. "That's only his way of showing he cares." She said.
"…Big brothers are weird…"
"I agree completely Sakura-chan."
"Even lately it seems that he cares for you more than he cares for me." Sakura said.
When there was no reply, Sakura looked up to see Tomoyo smiling and shaking her head.
"That's crazy Sakura-chan." She said.
Sakura sighed and went back to eating.

Minako giggled as Yasuto smiled at her. He seemed to have a knack for making her laugh. A little way away from them, Yojiro heard Minako's laughter and walked towards them, glaring at his twin.
"All is going well, I trust?" He asked coldly. Minako looked up at him with a puzzled expression. The brothers had always been nice to each other in her experience.
"Minako-chan, I-." Ami walked up to them but trailed off when she saw her company.
"Ah, Mizuno-san." Yojiro smiled at Ami suddenly. Yasuto gave him a dark look.
"Hisano-san." Ami acknowledged him with a nod.
Minako only looked from brother to brother, wondering why they seemed to be at war.
Yasuto turned to her with a wide, forced smile. "Well Mina-chan, I must be going. See you later!" He got up and walked away without a glance at his brother.
Yojiro gave them both a nod. "So long ladies." He went in the direction his twin was going.
"That was wired." Minako said as she watched them go.
"Of course it was. They're weird." Ami said with a sneer.
"They almost never fight." Minako said, ignoring Ami's snide remark. "It's almost like he's being protective."
"Protective?" Ami asked in the same tone.
Minako blushed and shook her head. "Forget I said it."
Ami stood up suddenly with a shocked expression. "You think he likes you!" She accused.
"No, no, I-."
"Don't do it Minako-chan! Don't you dare!" Ami warned, pointing a finger at her.
"I'm not gonna! I promise Ami-chan." Minako said.
Ami sighed. "I sure hope not." She left in a huff off to find someone else. Minako sighed in relief and began to chew on the nails of the fingers she had crossed.

Mamoru leaned miserably on the cold steel in his glass compartment as that girl went to turn on the machine for what had to be the millionth time. He averted his gaze to the door when a scream came through it. Yang appeared at the door as a ragged girl with tears streaming down her red cheeks.
"This is not fair!" she screamed. "How could you do this to us!"
She pounded at an invisible barrier that had materialized in the doorframe. Suddenly her voice was cut off, but she continued to pound at the barrier.
The girl's eyes widened as she had an idea. Yang fell through the door the next time her fist hit it and she almost toppled onto the floor. She was still mute as the girl gave her a quiet command, one that Mamoru could not hear. She nodded sadly as the machine started and walked toward the compartment.
Suddenly, Yang was Tsukino Usagi, crying and looking at Mamoru with a longing.
His heart started to pound faster and he almost burst, wanting to cry out to her.
The energy flowed faster.
"Th-this is n-not real." He said, closing his eyes. His longing for her turned into an even stronger feeling of rage and hatred. He hated them both for doing this.
The energy flowed even faster.
Mamoru passed out.
Yang tried to speak again but the girl ignored her as she magically brought Mamoru back to his room. A few more tears fell from her eyes as she gave up.

Usagi walked into the spare room in which she found a fourteen-year-old, pink headed, girl putting something away in the top drawer.
"Chibi-Usa!" She exclaimed, not moving.
The teenager looked up and smiled. "Hello Usagi-san."
"You're back!"
"Yes, yes I am." Chibi-Usa laughed. She judged just be her future mother's reaction that they had not found Mamoru yet. "So… How are things going with Kinomoto-san?"
"The Senshi decided to avoid her until we find Mamo-chan." Usagi said.
"They what!" Chibi-Usa screeched. Usagi flinched at the sudden loud noise. "They don't even have the courage or the courtesy to find out who she is!"
Usagi shook her head and shrugged. "Haruka-san does not trust her."
"Yes well Haruka-san did not come off as the most trustworthy person herself." Chibi-Usa said, storming out of the room.
"Chibi-Usa, wai-." Usagi began to follow her.
"There's a care in the driveway! We're taking a drive!" Chibi-Usa yelled through the halls. Usagi sighed and thanked all that was good that her family wasn't home.
"Usagi-mama, hurry up!"
Usagi let out a great moan and followed Chibi-Usa out to the car.

"Why don't you rebel?"
"She governs the way we live."
They were two voices throwing themselves into the blackness.
"You could change that; run away."
"Without her we're nothing."
Mamoru knew he was only telling them what they were truly yearning in their hearts.
"You can think by yourselves, can't you?"
"Sh-she's our creator."
It was only one voice. To Mamoru it was symbolic; Yin and Yang were two halves of a whole.
"Yes but now look at how she's treating you."
"She has the right, she's our creator. She created us for a certain purpose, if this is it, we must accept it."
"You don't have to accept abuse. You're human beings."
"We're not humans. We don't know what we are but she has made it quite clear that we're not human."
"Even if you're just artificial intelligence, don't you have feelings? She can't just disregard you're feelings completely."
"She's our creator. You're wrong."
Mamoru's eyes opened and he sighed sadly as he turned over and made another attempt to fall asleep.
Yin and Yang opened their eyes simultaneously and gazed at each other with a pathetic longing before both snuggled further into their embrace and closed their eyes.

"Would anyone like anymore tea?" Sakura asked. She smiled at the three others, then at Kero. All of them politely refused, even the guardian, who was happily stuffed with chocolate chip cookies.
"I'll clean them up, Sakura-chan." Touya said. He seemed thankful to get up from his place on the couch between Yukito and Tomoyo.
He went into the kitchen and put the dishes into the sink. As he was about to turn on the tap, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" He called as he heard Kero mumbling angrily as he went upstairs.
As he opened the door, he saw one of the last people he had ever expected to show up at his (former) door. Standing there was a young, determined girl with pink hair. Behind her was an older girl with blonde hair in long pigtails.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly. The young girl's expression became more determined.
"Onii-san! That's no way to treat a guest!" Sakura called, marching up to the front door. She promptly dug her heel into her brother's foot and he hobbled off after refraining from yelling at her.
"Come in!" Sakura said cheerily. "Don't mind my brother."
Chibi-Usa smiled brightly and followed Sakura inside while Usagi gingerly trailed behind. Sakura led them to the living room, where they froze when they saw Yukito. They boy turned bright red and stood up.
"Touya-kun? Do you need any help with those dishes?"
There was a laugh from the kitchen. "No…"
Yukito's blush deepened and he left anyway. Tomoyo politely hid her giggles behind her hand and Sakura stared after Yukito with a slightly confused expression.
"So." Tomoyo started. "What brings you here?'
"The Senshi made a big mistake, and I came to fix things." Chibi-Usa said.
"Chibi-Usa…" Usagi started.
"No. You made a bad decision, and you didn't even consult me."
Usagi's mouth hung open slightly, but she didn't say anything, which made Chibi-Usa a little nervous. Usagi always fought back.
"I-I'm not sure which decision you're talking about." Sakura said hesitantly, unaware of the abnormality.
"The Senshi decided that they didn't want your help, but I think it's the wrong thing to do." Chibi-Usa said.
Sakura took on a determined stance, but her expression still showed a little fear. "I want to help you." She said. "If that means proving myself to you and the others, then I will. I will do anything it takes to help you because it is my responsibility and I feel that I can help you and contribute to the rescue of your teammate." She sat down with a small blush, looking down at her hands.
Usagi and Chibi-Usa didn't know what to say. They were both dumbfounded at this young girl's speech.
"If you can't accept that, then you have no heart." Touya said from the doorway, Yukito behind him and Kero floating beside him.
"What he said." Kero agreed, his little arms crossed and a glare on his face. Tomoyo's expression told the Senshi that she agreed as well, and Sakura's blush was getting deeper as she started fiddling with her hands.
Usagi suddenly nodded. "I'll make them accept."

Well, would anyone care to interpret anything they read in this chapter? Even if I think that everything I put in there is completely obvious (just because I wrote it…), you might not pick up on anything. Or you could be like me, and you could be reading into every sentence and thinking it means something more…then just dismissing it and thinking you're silly for being that way. That's how I am, and I'm almost never right. Ah well. This chapter was certainly waited for, but I do hope you found it enjoyable. Thank you.
