Well, Chapter 12 is here. Sorry it took a while. I've been busy with school
and jazz. But Fall Break is coming up so I'm planning on writing some then!
I can't wait!!! Even if it is for only two days!!
Here's a Japanese translation code for ya. I realized I hadn't done one since the first chapter and that one was kinda confusing. So, I hope this one is better. &&&&&&&&
Hai- yes
Iie- no
Arigato- thank you (I know it can be spelled differently but that's the way I have seen it)
Demo- But
Jinja- shrine or temple
Youma or yoma (I have seen it both ways) - monster &&&&&&&&&&
That's all I can think of right now. If there are anymore in this chapter or before that I didn't translate just let me know and I'll take care of that in the next chapter!
Cherry blossom are trees that have pink and white blooms on them. They aren't huge but just kind of small and spread out. If you have never seen one, you are missing a beautiful sight.
I don't owned Charmed or Sailor Moon. But I do own the 1st season of Sailor Moon in Japanese!!! I am so excited!! Now, to complete my collection I need the StarS season in Japanese!!! YAY!

Paige turned over, struggling to get to sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Piper. It was all her fault! Why didn't she wait for Piper to get back in the shield before orbing out? She closed her eyes, trapping the tears and not letting them escape. She couldn't cry. She had to be strong and get her oldest sister back.
A tap on her shoulder made her gasp and open her eyes. Usagi was standing over her, a worried look covering the bunny's face. It took a minute but Paige remembered that she and Phoebe were staying at Rei's so they could be close if something happened. Leo was still over at Motoki's to catch up on old times.
"Usagi?"
"Paige-chan, are you okay?" Usagi asked softly as not to wake Phoebe on the other side of the bed. They were in one of the many guest rooms.
Paige shrugged and sat up. "What are you doing here, Usagi-chan? I figured you'd be with Mamoru-san."
Usagi grinned. "Hai, but I felt like someone needed me. And I was led to you."
Paige raised her eyebrows. "Led to?"
Usagi nodded. "I can feel others' pain."
"Oh, like an empath!" Paige exclaimed.
Usagi just shrugged. "Sure, why not."
Paige giggled then grew serious. "But why did you come all the way over here?"
"I want to show you something," Usagi said motioning for Paige to get up and follow her. Paige obeyed and she followed Usagi outside. They stopped in front of a huge cherry blossom tree back behind the jinja. Usagi sat down on the grass and patted the space next to her. "Sit here, Paige-chan."
Paige did and looked up at the tree. It was beautiful. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the slight wind that was blowing made the branches move just a bit. A sense of peace filled Paige's heart and she sighed in contentment.
"I feel the same way every time I look at this tree," Usagi said softly. "And I look at it a lot." She sat in silence for a few seconds then continued. "Back when I first became Sailor Moon I was clumsy, a crybaby, and really insecure. When I first met Rei-chan I saw this tree and fell in love with it. I would come here after every battle that I screwed up in. And that was lot. Sure, I beat the youma but it was never good enough for Luna and the others. I was just a big baby. But this tree made me feel like somebody. It told me that something so small can actually be something extremely beautiful."
She looked over at Paige. "No one knows about this. I know they see the tree all the time but they don't know it like I do. I would cry in front of this tree."
Paige studied the blonde beside her. "Why?"
Usagi looked at the ground. "I felt like a failure so many times. I got yelled at, teased, and pushed around by people who called themselves my friends. I felt like a loser. I didn't feel like a Moon Princess."
"But you seem so confident now."
Usagi sighed and looked back at the tree. "That comes with years of practice, Paige-chan. Many years of practice."
"What did they do? Did they mean to hurt you?"
Usagi shook her head. "Iie, not at all! I know they loved me and still do. They were just pushing me to do better."
"But that seems so cruel."
"I know. And it wasn't until a few years ago that I finally stood up to them and told them to lay off. I mentioned how sick and tired I was with all the name calling and stupid remarks. They stopped then. But we still tease each other for fun." She looked at Paige. "I mean, what's a family without a little teasing?"
Paige nodded and looked up at the sky. The stars were in view and the sky seemed to light up with their twinkling.
"Arigato, Usagi," Paige whispered. "I feel much better."
Usagi grinned. "Good. So do I."
**********************************
Piper groaned as the pain in her back throbbed when she tried to sit up. She felt like hell and her situation didn't seem to be getting any better. After Teccore left, the demon from the fight came in and introduced himself as Mortaguy came in and kicked her a few times as well. She would have blown him up but her hands were bound behind her back with chains, very tight and painful chains.
She gave up trying to sit. Just laying on the floor was fine for her at the moment. Her stomach was sore, her back was in pain, her lip was bleeding, and she knew she had a black eye. If she wasn't worried about her sisters and the senshi she would have given up ages ago.
A shimmer in the air in front of her warned her of a demon about to appear. She braced herself for whatever pain they were going to inflict on her this time.
Mortaguy laughed when he fully appeared in the cell with Piper. "You look terrible, witch. How do you feel?"
Piper just glared at him as best she could.
He shrugged. "Very well, don't answer. But you will be here for a rather long time if you never speak. We need information out of you, witch. And you will give it." He bent down so that he was right in her face. "And I am going to love getting it from you." He smirked at her and slapped her cheek right before he shimmered out.
Right after he disappeared Piper closed her eyes and cried.
*****************************
Rei sat up with a gasp. What was that?? She looked around in the darkness of her room, searching for whatever made her wake up so suddenly.
"Rei-chan?"
Rei looked at the doorway to her room and saw the silhouette of Usagi. "Usagi-chan, what's going on?"
"Luna just came and got me. There's a demon downtown. We need to get the others and go."
"Hai, you get Phoebe and Paige. I'll contact the outers. Maybe Paige can orb us down there."
Usagi nodded and ran off. Rei quickly got out of bed and grabbed her communicator from her bedside table. They were going to need all the help they could get, Rei just knew it.
