For some reason, the taxi Leo had paid to wait for them had driven off, leaving their luggage on the sidewalk outside the arcade.
"Well, damn," Piper muttered as they all walked out the automatic doors and leaving the zapping of the machines inside. "How do we get to this jinja thing now?"
"Call another cab?" Phoebe suggested.
"Or walk," Paige added.
There was a long moment of silence then Leo stepped forward with his arm raised. "Taxi!!!"
"How can you be so sure they are here to help?"
Usagi shrugged then fixed Rei with a stare. "Have I ever been wrong about something I feel in my heart?"
Rei sighed and shook her head. "Iie, Usagi-chan. I'm just worried. They aren't from here. I mean, we can all tell that. But they speak perfect Japanese without a hint of an accent."
"Rei-chan's right, Usagi," Minako interjected. "We don't know enough about these women; where they're from and why they're here."
"Demo,"
"Look, Hime, we need to wait this out and see what happens."
Usagi looked down at the floor of Rei's room. "Um,"
"Oh gods!!!" Rei rolled her eyes and gave a huge sigh. "You've already asked them to come here, haven't you?"
"Maybe."
"Dammit!!!"
"They helped us!"
"So?" Rei walked closer to the blonde. "It could have been a ploy. All we know is what I have seen in the fire. And I have seen practically nothing; just that they are here."
"Well it seems that my heart knows more than your fire!"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing at all. Just that we should do what my heart says! In every single battle we have fought my heart has saved us in the end."
"But what have we had to go through until then? I have lost count of the number of times I have died!"
"Well, that's your problem!!"
"My problem!? How is this 'my problem'? You have died right along with me!"
"Not every time!"
"Most every time!"
"So?"
"Is that all you can say?"
"Maybe!"
"Shut up!"
"No! You shut up!"
"Not until you do!"
"If you both don't shut up right now I am going to strangle you until you do!!" Ami was now standing beside the arguing friends, her face red and her eyes full of irritation.
Usagi and Rei just stared at her, mouths agape and eyes wide.
"Wow! Very nice, Ami-chan!" Makoto stated applauding Ami's outburst. Minako followed her lead and soon even Usagi and Rei were clapping for their usually quiet friend. Ami just blushed and sat back down.
"Now, what were we saying?" she said. The others giggled like school girls.
Usagi smiled and studied her friends. This is way she was so happy. She had friends that were like sisters to her. They were there through thick and thin. And she loved them no matter what.
The Charmed Ones and their whitelighter got out of the taxi, luggage and all, and watched it drive away before turning back to the jinja.
"That's a whole lotta stairs," Paige mumbled.
"You're tellin' me," Piper said. "Well, let's start walking."
"Wait, what?" Phoebe looked over at her older sister and frowned. "Walking? We have to walk up those stairs?"
Piper blinked and nodded. "Um, hai. I mean, if we orbed up there it might freak them out or something."
Phoebe stared at her, narrowed her eyes, and then mumbled, "I hate it when you're right."
So, up they started, lugging their suitcases and carry on bags. About halfway up all four were huffing from lack of breath.
"Leo," Piper said, stopping. "Orb up there and make sure no one is around then come back down. I can't walk another step."
Leo didn't even hesitate. He was gone before she even finished her sentence.
Phoebe smirked over at her older sister. "I knew you would break."
Piper just rolled her eyes and tried to catch her breath.
The white lights singling the return of her husband and whitelighter made Piper look away from her sister.
"Well?" she asked when Leo was standing beside her.
He grinned. "Let's orb away."
It took all she could do not to jump up and down.
Paige did let out a sigh of relief. "Finally." And with that said, she winked, picked up her luggage and disappeared in a swirl of white and blue lights.
"No fair!" Phoebe muttered.
"Don't worry," Leo said. "You've still got me."
Rei suddenly gasped and looked up at her friends.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Makoto asked her eyebrows raised in worry.
"There's someone here."
"Besides us?"
"Hai, someone with a lot of magical energy."
"They're here!" Usagi jumped up and ran out of the room, the other girls right behind her.
"Gods, Usagi. Who?" Rei asked.
"Those women and that man."
By that time, they were all outside. And they got out there just as a swirl of blue lights appeared and a woman seemed to form out of them.
When she saw them she blinked. "Whoa, um. hi."
The Japanese girls and the red-haired foreigner just stared at each other until another swirl of blue lights made all of them look. And then there were two more women and a man standing there.
"Man, that was much faster!" one of the women said with a sigh of relief.
"I told you we should have done that to begin with," the other woman said. "I mean, if we have powers why not," she saw the other people standing there, "Use....them.." and she trailed off, glancing sideways at the other women.
Usagi grinned and stepped forward. "That was cool!!!" She took one of Paige's bags out of the witch's hand and nodded. "Now that you're here, let's go to Rei-chan's room and talk."
Silence.
"Um, wait....what?" Piper asked. "Who---"
Usagi giggled then bowed. "I am Tsukino Usagi, Sailor Moon. These are my friends and fellow scouts Mizuno Ami, Hino Rei, Kino Makoto, and Aino Minako. We are the Sailor Senshi."
"Okay, good!" Paige smiled. "Now that we know your names we can actually talk to you like normal people. I'm Paige Halliwell."
"Piper."
"Phoebe."
"Leo. Piper's husband and the girls' whitelighter."
Rei raised an eyebrow. "Their what?"
"We'll explain inside," Piper said quickly. "But first, we must agree not to tell a soul about any of this. Understand?"
Everyone nodded, Usagi more enthusiastically than the others.
"Come on; let's go into Rei's room!!!" Usagi said, skipping off with Paige's bag still in her hand.
Rei just rolled her eyes and motioned for the others to follow. "You can put your stuff in one of the spare rooms."
After a few minutes of everyone getting settled, Usagi started talking..more like rambling.
"This is sooooooo cool!!! When you froze the place and everything and we fought the yoma and, well, the yoma have been getting harder to fight. It's scary actually. With Mamo-chan in America and the Starlights gone, we have practically no back-up. And the outers just kind of disappeared after Galaxia was defeated. I miss them all so much and then suddenly these new things started popping up everywhere and----"
"Whoa, hold on Odango!" Rei put a hand over Usagi's mouth, silencing her. "Let's start off a little slower."
Phoebe grinned at the two then frowned. "So, you fight those things often?"
Minako nodded and grabbed one of Makoto's homemade cookies from the table in the middle of the room. "Hai, since we were fourteen. But they have gotten tougher and weirder looking lately."
"They've always been weird anyway," Ami stated.
The other scouts giggled.
"And when Rei had that vision of you three women coming-" Minako started.
"Wait!" Piper looked over at Rei. "You had a vision of us coming?"
"Hai. I got my first one about a month ago. It was really blurry then but as time went on it got clearer."
Piper looked at Phoebe and Phoebe looked back at her.
"Okay, first off," Piper said. "We need to establish trust in the group. We are not here to do any of you harm. We came on orders from... higher beings....to help you. And that's what we do, help people."
Usagi smiled. "We do, too. In fact, we have saved the world numerous times."
"And died in the process," Rei muttered.
The Halliwells and Leo glanced at each other at that statement.
"We need to know the history of your.... powers and then we will tell you ours," Leo said. "I'm 'dying' to know."
Piper snickered at that then nodded. "Hai, let's discuss what you do and how you do it."
Usagi looked at Rei, then at each of the other scouts in turn. And they all nodded. "Right," she said. "We will tell you all. But you must listen closely. This may take a while."
To be continued....
And since it will take a while, I decided to stop the chapter there. Giving the history of the scouts AND the Charmed ones is going to take some typing. And just for the record, I would like to know how many of you reading this are Charmed fans, Sailor Moon fans, or both. Just to see. I thought it'd be cool to know. Anyway, I'll go now! Ja!!!!!
Now, I don't own Sailor Moon or Charmed but I do own.....my clothes....and that's about it. So, don't sue me. Please!!!!! I beg of you!!!!!
On with the story!!!!!
