Well, here it is. And I hope you like it. I got the idea of where this story was going late at night. I suddenly sat up in bed, hit my elbow, and said in one breath, "Yes! OW!"

So, you are reading a chapter that kinda came to me in a dream. Note the word kinda. Anyway, I hope this is okay for all of you. I think this is a great twist but that's just me. ^_^

I don't own Charmed or Sailor Moon. If I did I wouldn't be here right now at 11:30 p.m. typing this up. I would be in Europe studying and touring around England. But *sigh* oh well, I have no money. But I'll live. ^_^

By the by, I found the other spelling of 'thank you' and I like it better. Meh, that's me though. Always finding things I like better, lol. I will now spell it 'Arigatou' because it's prettier. *************************

"You had better use this wisely, Mortaguy."

"I will, sir. I have the perfect plan."

"Good. And since Chaos gave you part of this energy you are using, I want you to take a youma with you the next time you go up."

"But-"

"I'm not saying this time, Mortaguy. Just next time. To thank Chaos without actually having to thank him."

Mortaguy bowed and left the room, his plan running through his mind. 'This is perfect.'

******************************

He smiled as he saw the lights in front of him, signaling the arrival of the Charmed Ones and hopefully the senshi. They materialized and he grinned. Perfect.

Paige yelped in shock as an energy ball sailed over her head right as they arrived where the demon was.

"Hey," Phoebe said. "That's the demon from before!"

Paige looked over and was shocked to see that it was the same demon. And he looked really happy about something. But it looked like he didn't plan on telling them what he was so happy about.

"Okay, spread out!" Venus yelled. "Let's take him down. We still have other work to do!"

"Hai!" Everyone shouted.

But the demon didn't wait. He just threw an energy ball at Sailor Moon, who ducked just in time but wasn't quick enough for the one that followed. The senshi watched in shock as their princess was hit in the chest and thrown back.

A brick building stopped Sailor Moon's flight and she slid down the wall, unconscious.

"Sailor Moon!" Jupiter yelled.

"Iie," Leo ordered. "Senshi, stay here. Paige, Phoebe, and I will go to her."

The senshi nodded but Tuxedo Kamen ran over to his fallen wife. "Usako, wake up."

Paige laid a hand on his shoulder. "Leo can heal her. Just back up."

Tuxedo Kamen nodded and watched as Leo held his hands over the blonde and a golden light seemed to radiate from them.

Sailor Moon suddenly gasped and sat up. She looked at the worried faces around her then blinked. "Ow," she said touching her chest.

Tuxedo Kamen gave a sigh of relief and threw his arms around her. "I thought I had lost you."

"Nope," Sailor Moon whispered. "I'm still here." She looked up at Leo. "Arigatou," she said a little louder.

Leo just nodded. "My pleasure, princess."

A scream interrupted them. Sailor Moon's eyes widened. "The senshi! Tuxedo Kamen-sama, we need to help them!!!"

They were up in a flash and were running toward the fight when the demon suddenly laughed and shimmered out, leaving all eight of the senshi on the ground.

"Minna!" Sailor Moon yelled, running up to them.

Paige and Phoebe ran with her. The senshi looked dead! They were sprawled out on the ground with their eyes closed and their bodies relaxed.

But that changed when Mars groaned and slowly sat up. "What was that?" She asked.

Sailor Moon squealed and threw herself at the Martian. Mars grunted as the moon princess' weight was suddenly on top of her.

"And I'm on the ground again," Mars said.

Sailor Moon giggled. "I didn't know what was wrong with you guys! I thought you were dead! I was so worried."

As she spoke, the other senshi sat up as well, all groaning and rubbing their heads. Usagi, in turn, ran to each senshi and hugged them.

Haruka laughed when the princess got to her. "Did you miss me so much, Moon Face?"

Usagi just giggled. "You know I would be lost without all of you," she declared.

Mortaguy grinned from his hiding place behind a bush. 'Excellent,' he thought before he shimmered out once more but this time, for real.

Paige glanced over at Phoebe. Something was different about the senshi. But she couldn't place her finger on it.

***********************

"Did it go over well, Mortaguy?"

"Hai," was the answer.

"Very good. Now for the next part of your plan."

Mortaguy bowed and left the Source's chamber.

**************************

Usagi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock. It was 1 am and something had woken her. But what?

Mamoru stirred beside her and she looked over at him. He was actually home! He was home and laying in bed with her just like before he left for America!

She smiled and snuggled beside him, shrugging off what had made her wake up.

*Thud*

There it was again!! Usagi sat up. It was coming from their apartment door. It sounded like someone was falling against their door repeatedly.

"Mamo-chan," Usagi whispered.

He just muttered something and reached for her.

"Mamo-chan!" she said a little louder.

He shook his head and rolled on his back.

"Mamo-chan!!!!!" Usagi finally yelled.

He sat up, eyes wide and covers falling off his bare chest. "Nani!? Usagi, what's wrong?!"

Usagi giggled then grew serious. "Someone's at our door. And it's not a salesman."

Mamoru glanced over at her. "Are you sure?"

*Thud*

Usagi just raised her eyebrows. Mamoru slowly got out of bed and slipped on his black robe to cover his black boxers. Usagi followed him in her silky pink robe Minako had given her for her birthday.

The blonde walked right behind her husband, clinging to the back of his robe. They walked out of their room, through the den, past the kitchen, and finally reached the door. Mamoru slowly reached out his hand and unlocked the door. Usagi waited with bated breath. If someone tried to kill her Mamo- chan, she would fight....but not before.

The Earth prince threw the door open only to be met with the limp and bloodied body of Piper falling into his arms.

"Piper-chan!" Usagi whispered loudly. "Mamo-chan, bring her inside. Put her on the sofa. Then call the jinja. Get the Halliwells and Leo over here immediately."

Mamoru obeyed quickly. As he called the sisters Usagi knelt next to the sofa and took Piper's hand in her own. "Piper-chan?"

Piper slowly opened her eyes but winced and shut them again. She coughed and slowly tried to sit up. "Where-"

Usagi gently pushed her back down. "You don't know where you are, Piper?" At the shake of the witch's head, Usagi raised her eyebrows. "Then how did you get here?"

Piper clutched her chest and tried to take a deep breath but just started coughing again. When she finally stopped she wet her swollen, bloody lips and replied. "I...I don't know. One minute he was standing there and the next he had me in front of your door. And he kept pushing me into the door until he heard you behind it." She paused and opened her eyes again. Usagi gasped at the fear and mistrust in them.

"He's always here" Piper continued. "He's always watching me and waiting for me to relax. He's probably here right now." She sat up and looked around the room with wild eyes. "He'll hit me again and won't leave me alone." Tears ran down her cheeks. "I'm never safe. Never!"

The room lit up with the swirl of white and blue lights that announced the arrival of Leo, Paige, and Phoebe. Piper whipped her head around in panic and suddenly screamed before her sisters and Leo could appear. She fell back on the sofa and closed her eyes. "He's back! He's come back to kill me! Oh God, help me!!"

To be continued.....

Hehe, I left it at a cliff-hanger! I am so bad! So, what's wrong with Piper? Don't know? Well, I do!!!! *runs off laughing*
