Hey everyone. I liked the positive feedback I got for the last chapter, so I was encouraged to write and get this chapter out REALLY soon. Hope you like.

Thanks to all who reviewied, keep 'em coming!

Also: If anyone is confused or wondering about flashbacks, it is because every flashback I have shown in this story so far is incomplete. In one of the later chapters as we continue to uncover what happened, all wil be revealed, and I will finish the flashbacks. So on that bnote, I will continue on with the story and leave you with one question you can uncover as you read each chapter. What happened last year?

Chapter 6

"Yeah! Road Trip!"

"Usagi," Rei cautioned as the group headed for the car, "It'sfive o'clock in the morning, people are sleeping ya' know!"

"Alright, alright, break it up," Makoto said, as she threw her duffel bag into the trunk. Trowa closed the trunk.

"Remind me why we had to leave this early," grumbled Minako tiredly as she trudged out of the house, Ami trying to quicken her so she could lock the door.

After the insanity the night before, the next day had gone smoothly. They had rented two cars, and had arranged for a few rooms in a hotel on the tourist spot of the island. It was a few hours drive to the other side of teh island, and then they would get settled and just enjoy themselves.

No one spoke about the other night. They acted as if it hadn't happened. Usagi's arm and Ami'sshoulder were already healed, however they kept them wrapped and told the boys it simply didn't hurt because it was too quick for it to have completely healed.

"This is gonna be sweet! Parties, chicks, crowded beaches, er...spas," Duo added when Rei turned to glare slightly.

The two cars they had rented were justtwo vans, each would seat 6 comfortably,since there was twelve of them.

"Wow, I am so excited," Sanyu rambled as she clutched Quatre's arm, earning warning glares from a few of the girls.

"I want to drive one of the cars," Mamoru said.

"Kay, then you drive blue van Mamoru," Ami said.

"Alright," he said.

"Ick, pulling up in a van," Usagi whined, "I wish we could have rented something like your ferari. I love showing up in that," Usagi said as she followed Mamoru to the van.

"Hey, let's ride with Mamoru and Usagi," Makoto told Trowa, taking his hand and leading him to the van.

"I want to go in the van too," Rei said, and Wufei automatically followed her.

"I guess that leaves us six in the other red van," Sanyu said brightly to Ami, Duo, Minako, Heero, and Quatre. She was offered tight lipped smiles by Ami and Minako, who walked away from her and into the van. Minako sat up front, and Heero got in the driver's seat, keys in hand.

Ami and Duo sat in the middle two seats, and Quatre and Sanyu got the bench seat in the back.

"Did you girls lock every door and window before you left," Quatre asked.

"Yes, believe us we did. Ami checked every little area twice to be sure," Minako said, and Heero took this as a sign that they were ready and started up the van. Mamoru pulled up next to them, and Heero rolled down the window of the van.

"From here, go left and then make a right on the main town street. There's bassically an hour of country driving before we reach a main road that will take us strait to the tourist spot." Heero nodded at what he said and followed Mamoru out the driveway, certainly not knowing his way around the Island.

In the blue van...

"My God! This ride is taking forever!" Usagi suddenly giggled, a thought coming to mind as she turned and smiled devilishly at Rei, Wufei, Trowa, and Makoto, who sat behind her looking at her as if she was crazy. Mamoru glanced at Usagi from the corner of his eye but said nothing as he turned his attention back to the road.

"Let's sing a song! A car song! Like that one, you guys must know it," she said, referring to Trowa and Wufei, whom didn't respon, "the American one about beer? A number of beers on the wall?"

Receiving no response, she huffed and turned away, before turning back around.

"I have another one! It's a song we used to sing when we went on field trips on a school bus! I say something, and you al repeat it! Let's see, how does it go...ah yes! I remember, okay, so repeta after me!" Before waiting for their approval, Usagi began to sing.

"I said a boom chicka boom!" No one repeated, and even Mamoru was glancing at her like she was insane.

"Hey! Repeat after me! It's fun! Then we pass it around the car! So anyways, I said a boom boom boom! I said a boom chicka-rocka, chicka-rocka, chicka-"

"Usagi!" Usagi stopped, realizing that all five of them had shouted her name.

"What? I'm just trying to lighten the horrible mood in this van!" She turned with a humph back to stare at the road, but was soon humming to herself again and tapping her fingers.

Rei sighed and turne dto look at Wufei. He had been looking furiously in Usagi's direction when she had tryed to get them to sing. Now he was simply staring straight ahead of him, still looking a bit mad. He turned to look at her when he realized she was staring, and Rei automatically turned to look out the window, feeling a slight blush tint her cheeks.

Makoto and Trowa were silent in the back seat. It was early. Makoto was sleeping, leaned against the window, and Trowa was sitting leaning back in a relaxed position, glancing at her every few moments to see if she was asleep.

There was a strange peace in the car. Usagi glanced back at her friends, a smile on her face as she watched them, before turning back and deciding to take a small nap herself.

In the red van...

Heero concentrated on keeping Mamoru's van in sight as he drove, glancing occasionally at Minako. She was very tired from the moment they had left the house, and hed slept almost instantly, her head leaned against the window.

Ami was tapping her fingers lightly against her arm rest, disguisted by Quatre and Sanyu. At first, Quatre had given Sanyu respectable space and sat down. Sanyu had inched closer and closer to him, before taking her hand in his. In an almost sneaky way, she had cuddled up against him eventually and had pretended to fall asleep.

This was referred to as pretended because Sany kept opening her eyes and smiling evily at Ami from where she sat. Quatre had fallen asleep, and was ignorant of Sanyu's little taunting. Duo could see Ami glowering at Sanyu's reflection in the window every few minutes, but whenever he turned around Sanyu would be sleeping peacefully.

'I see you glancing at me," a voice said, but when Ami looking up, she realized that no one was speaking. No one in the car seemed to have heard it. Figuring she was going insane, Ami turned to look out the windowm but heard the voice again.

'I'd like to think that you were going insane as well, but that's not the case.'

'Sanyu,' Ami thought, and actually received a response to her thought.

'Yes.'

'How did you do that? Get out of my head,' she thought angrilly, looking around the car to see if anyone was attentive, but they were not. She turned to look back at Sanyu, but her eyes were closed.

'Why do you keep looking ta me. My eyes are closed. The real conversation is in your mind.'

'There is no conversation, stop that,' Ami thought.

'No.'

'Yes, stop it. You're lucky we already haven't blown your cover,' ami thought.

'Actually, you're lucky I haven't gave you away,' Sanyu thought back, causing Ami to sigh angrilly out loud. Duo glanced up at her, but Ami looked away, out the window.

'Ooh, I'm seeing some tension between you and him. Possibel attraction. Interesting what you find in a person's mind, especially yours Ami Mizuno.'

'Stop that,' Ami thought angrilly, 'Stop that now! Get out of my head! my thought are mine alone!'

'No.'

'YES!'

Ami suddenly felt a splitting pain in her head, and gasped and grabbed her head.

"Ami," Duo said, reaching out to touch her shoulder. Heero glanced at Ami from his mirrior, but tried to concentrate on the road. The pain was so intense that Ami couldn't even respond.

'I am in control at the moment. I'll leave your thoughts when I'm ready. As of now, they're my thoughts.'

'Stop that! They're my thoughts! If that's the best you can do in our little battle, if you have to win that way, then I pity you.'

The pain intensified, and Ami's other free hand flew to her head.

"Ah God," she muttered.

'I can do worse,' Sanyu's voice said in her head.

"Ami," Duo repeated, "are you okay?"

"Should I pull over," Heero asked, realizing he and Duo were now the only ones not sleeping in the car besides Ami.

'We don't want that, now do we,' Sanyu replied in Ami's head, and the pain dissapeared, as well as the heavy feeling of Sanyu in her thoughts. Ami sat up straight, shaking her head.

"No no, I'm alright," Ami responded tiredly, "It went away as fast as it came."

Sanyu yawned from the back seat and suddenly sat up and stretched.

"So, when are we going to get there," she asked innocently.

Mamoru pulled up in front of the hotel, Heero pulling up behind him. Everyone filed quickly out of the car, happy to leave.

"We have only two rooms," Mamoru said once they had checked in and were head upstairs. "We have one for the girls and one for the guys. Every room has two beds, and they are bringing in more matresses. We'll only be spendoing one night anyways," he said, handing Rei the girls room key. The rooms were across teh hall from one another.

"I believe the rooms are a good size though," Mamoru continued.

They were. When the girls stepped into the room they were more than pleased. Nice large windows, beautiful curtains, a small kitchenet, nice sized bathroom and two couches in the spacious room. There were as the man at reception had said, two beds. Automatically, the boys standing in the doorway moved aside as two more individual matresses were brought into the room.

"Let's go check out our room," Duo said, snatching the key from Mamoru who chuckled slightly and followed, teh others following as well.

Once the guys were gone and the door was closed, Sanyu jumped onto one of the two person beds and relaxed.

"This bed is mine. Two others of you can share the one person matress my delicate body was going to sleep on," she said haughtilly.

All the girls in the room looked at each other. Not only did they have to be in the same room with a murderous old enemy, but now she was pushing them around?

No.

"Listen up Sanyu. No one is taking your crappe. You're lucky we haven't attacked and killed you yet," Rei said, arms crossed. Sanyu chuckled and sat up.

"Well well well, is that how you feel? Please remember that I am much stronger and can over power all of you. Besides, you wouldn't want to blow y our cover to the boys, now would you," Sanyu said.

"We wouldn't be blowing your cover. You would just have a very nasty accident," Makoto said, stepping forwards with her fist clenched.

"Watch yourself Jupiter, or you'll be the one having the accident. You senshi should learn to tolerate me this weekend while we're staying together, or else something you don't like very much will happen." She looked evily at each scout in turn, who only frowned at her.

"Why are you trying to stay undercover anyways Sanyu. Why haven't you killed yet," Minako asked.

"For me to know, for you never to find out. Bussiness is bussiness Venus," Sanyu responded.

Usagi sighed.

"Fine Sanyu, we'll tolerate you for now. But you have to be respectful of us in a sense as well, and that means that you have to either share with someone this bed, which no one here wants, or sleep on a single person mattress," Usagi said.

Sanyu laughed.

"Maybe. We'll see how nice you are to me today first." She stood and walked across teh hall to the guys room, knocking and asking for Quatre.

Ami looked at her friends.

"She did the wierdest thing in the car to me today," she began.

2 hours later...

The entire gang sat on little stools at an out burger joint. It consisted of an inside and a long, 2 sided counter made of wood for people to sit on and eat with friends. It was beach side, and beautiful.

"Wow," Minako said, "This place is awesome!"

"I'll say," Usagi agreed, taking a huge bit eout of her heaping burger before continuing, mouth still full. "I mean, the beach house is great. Peaceful and fun, but this is a nice getaway, more noise and tourist spots."

"Pass the salt Duo," Sanyu said, taking a big bite from her burger.

"Take it easy there Sanyu, you're eating like Usagi," Duo said as he passed the salt. Sanyu glared and laughter passed between the group.

"So what do we do after this," asked Rei.

"Well," Makoto said, "We can hang aroudn this beach for a while, socialize but not swim. We don't want to get all gross before su girls hit the spa. You guys can do what you want while we're at the spa, and then, we hit that party!"

Heero glanced down at the flyer advertising the party on the counter. It was a party geared for teens and young adults at a nearby club.There was nothing mentioned on alcohol consumption there, which lead Heero to believe that they would be faced with a bunch of drunken idiots there. He detested the idea of going, or of taking this whole trip in general, but it was necessary to not just investigate the girls they were with, but every girl, and that meant crowded beaches and parties.

They headed to the beach, and Ami spread out a blanket where she could find an empty area on the sand, which was not easy, They all sat around, chatting and enjoying the sun. Minako and Makoto were checking out every guy that they saw, hearts in their eyes.

"Aww, he looks like my old boyfriend," gushed Makoto as a built guy with a long ponytail at his neck walked by.

"Hey cutie," Minako said with a girlish wave to a boy standing a few feet away.

"You two are so hopeless," Rei said, although Wufei did notice her cheeks go slightly pink when attractive men walked by, and she would pretend like she didn't care.

Usagi was sitting leaned against Mamoru. The two had on their sunglasses, and they were just silently enjoying the sun. Ami suspected that they were already sleeping.

Sanyu was, not surprisingly, now making out with Quatre a few feet away from the blanket, at least a bit out of view of the others. For some reason, the pilots looked very angry about this as they glanced over to where the two stood every few minutes.

Ami sighed and tipped her head back, letting the sun warm her face.

She had mixed feelings about leaving the house. She loved the house, the beach, the serenity of the water- but a break was nice. At least when they were out of the house, they were away from the psyco girl with the knife, the monsters, and best of all, the memories.

"Hello ladies," a confident voice said. Ami, Rei, Minako, and Makoto looked up. Standing in front of the blanket, looking down at them were four guys.

"Hi," Minako said.

"Pardon the cheesy lines," the one behind the first guy spoke, "but we saw you lovely creatures sitting here and every other girl paled in comparison."

Makoto gave a quick smile, because quite frankly she could not ignore the cheesy line.

"We are going to get some drinks, would you ladies care to join us," another inquired. Rei had an uneasy feeling about the guys that she couldn't explain, and looking at the other girls she knew they felt the same. Something wasn't right about going with them.

"No thanks, we just had something to drink," Minako said flipantly, offering an apologetic smile.

"Well," one of them said, "you don't speak for the rest of them blondie."

"Hey," Makoto said, "don't talk to her like that."

"And how about you two," one of them said, as he and the last guy crouched down to eye level with Rei and Ami, "you've been silent so far. What would you like?"

"Nothing from you, thanks," Rei snapped, feeling Wufei's hand on her shoulder as he sat up from the laying position behind her, glaring at the guy in front of her. The guy stood right away.

"Sorry dude, didn't realize she was taken," he apologized quickly.

The boy crouched in front of Ami had almost white-blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

She felt as if she had to look at him when he gave her his attention, and had an even worse feeling now more then ever. They were not normal.

Ami looked down and away, and now Duo and the rest of the guys were standing, wondering why the four had yet to leave.

"Whatever," the boy in front of Ami said, standing. "I will see you later," he added to Ami in a tone she did not like as the four walked away.

"Thanks guys," Rei said, giving an evil glare to the boys retreating backs, "those guys were totally wierd."

"Totally sick you mean," Minako corrected, "You can always tell what they want within the first thirty seconds of meeting them."

"They were wierd though," Duo agreed as the four dissapeared from sight.

"Whatever, let's just enjoy the last of our time," Wufei said, laying back down on the blanket. Rei layed down next to him this time, putting on her sunglasses.

Ami decided to relax again, but still felt uneasy.

The girls went to teh spa as planned that afternoon. They relaxed in hot tubs and also had facials, their nails done, their hair done, and make-up done profesionally.

"That was awesome," Minako exclaimed as she exited, throwing her hands in the air.

"And expensive," Usagi added as they left.

"Well at least you all look semi-presentable now," Sanyu said as she followed. The rest of the walk was silent due to Sanyu and her prying ears, and newly, mind.

They arrived at the hotel and began changing. They were headed to teh party soon, since the sun was going down now, after getting a bite to eat.

Ami hated these sort of things. She had mentioned it before leaving the beach house. A nice dance, maybe. A crowded, crazy club- not her thing. She shifted clothes around her duffel bag, not sure of what to wear.

Looking to her right, she saw that Minako looked stunning. She had on a short jeans skirt, looking a bit like the one used for her senshi foku, and a bright orange t-shirt with several words written across the front. Very eye-catching, and very much like Minako.

Rei had on a pair of tight black jeans with red designs on the pockets and on the bottoms of the legs, and a red halter to spice up the outfit.

Usagi had on a white skirt with flapsand a pink tank top, her hair done up in it's usual style with pick bows around the buns on each side of her head.

Makoto had on a thick strapped green tank top with a large, pinkglittering rose across the stomach and a pair of jeans.

Sanyu was putting on a very short violet dress that matched her hair, although Ami was not too interested in what she of all people was wearing.

"What's wrong Ames? Don't know what you wanna wear," Minako asked, approaching from behind her.

"Um...no," she admitted, staring into her bag.

Minako, worker of miracles, chose her outfit in under a minute. She pulled out a jeans skirt Ami owned that went an inch or two above her knee and a simple white v-necked thick strapped tanktop that did not reveal too much.

"All ready," Rei asked a few minutes later. After everyoen said yes, Sanyu pushed through teh group rudely and out the door, aqueeling once she saw Quatre and runing over to him. Everyone else left the room at a better pace to see that the guys were ready and waiting in the hall. Quatre was flushed slightly as Sanyu whispered in his ear and giggled, clinging to him.

Usagi ran to Mamoru, giving him a quick peck on the lips and taking his hand.

"You look great Usako," he said.

"You don't look too bad yourself," she said with a giggle as they walked towards the elevator.

"You're all ready? Everything's locked," inquired Heero.

"Yeah yeah, stop worrying," Minako said as she grabbed his arm and surprisingly dragged him with her.

Trowa walked over to Makoto and took the now blushing girl's hand silently as the two walked off following the others.

"Don't you need a sweater over that shirt," Wufei was asking Rei as they walked off down the hall.

This was followed by a small shout from Rei of anger and silence.

Ami looked at Duo and laughed. He laughed as well and the two walked off together down the hall. Duo however was very distracted as he walked. He kept glancing over at Ami, but she was staring straight ahead of her, watching her friends. God she looked beautful.

He followed her gaze and saw whom she was keeping an eye on. Sanyu. Who was currently all over Quatre. At first what came to mind for Duo was that she was jealous of Sanyu and wanted Quatre, which made him jealous too, but then he remembered the argument Ami and Sanyu hadin the kitchen a few days before and realized she was actually just keeping en eye on Sanyu. Duo had a feeling he should be doing the same as Sanyu walked with Quatre, leaving Duo uneasy about her.

Duo was so lost in his thoughts that he only realized where he was going when Ami grabbed his arm.

"Duo, what are you doing? You nearly walked into that wall," she said in a surprised voice, causing him to give an embarassed laugh. He could practically feel Heero and Wufei glaring at the back of his headfor his stupidity.

"Just thinking I guess," he told Ami as the group boarded the elevator.

"I didn't know that was possible," Wufei retorted as the elevator went down.

The restaurant was connected to the hotel's lobby. It was nice but small. They all sat in a booth and ate lightly, wanting to be able to dance still.

The club was about 5 blocks away. Everyone it seemed was walking because there would be no parking there. Besides, it was summer, so it was nice and warm out.

The streets outside the hotel at night were crowded. Half of the epople were headed towards the club area, while the others towards the town.

They didn't say much as they attempted to stick togetherin the crowds.

About three blocks away, they could hear music. Heero glanced at the other pilots. This was one hectic night they were in for.

Nearing the club, they had a better idea of what it was like. It was a huge building, no dount about that. The music was almost unbearably loud, and the place was so crowded despite it's size.

Ami was hesitant to enter.

"Alright!" Minako had her fist in the air. "I've been wiating for this all summer! Let's party!"

"I'm with you," Makoto said, as the group headed inside. As it was, there was not a single available table there. It didn't take long for them all to be divided, a matter of seconds after entering the door.

Heero glared at the drunken fool beside him as he pushed his way through the crowd. The music was so loud that the place was almost vibrating.

He passed by Sanyu and Quatre. Sanyu was all over Quatre, kissing him in the middle of the dance floor, however they did not look at all out of place as he surveyed the room.

He saw a group of five girls swaying to the music yet standing alone. Deciding to do his job, he approached. It did not take more than a moment with them to deduce that they couldn't have been Sailor Scouts. They were idiots, complete idiots. He would give the Senshi a bit more credit than that.

Heero continued this interogation of girls for a few more minutes, before he felt a hand encircle his wrist, and saw a flash of light blonde hair.

"Come dance Heero, don't just stand there," Minako was sayinga s she lead him deeper into the dance floor. Heero followed without a word, but couldn't help but wonder why they were still investigating other girls.

To him, he could picture Minako being a senshi no problem. They had looked into them thoroughly, and still, Heero and the others were trying to find any way to make sure that they were not the senshi, to prove themselves wrong about their suspicions. He only wondered why.

Wufei had stuck with Rei when they first arrived. She drank a beer, which surprised him. Then he thought that perhaps he should encourage her drinking so that she would get really drunk and fess up about being a sailor scout, but apparantly she had self control, and drank only half the beer before throwing it away and asking him to dance.

"Okay," he said unsurely, as she took his hand.

Trowa did not leave Makoto's side form the moment they entered, causing her to continue blushing.

The dance floor was packed, and so eventually, Trowa and Makoto's dancing distance from each other began to shrink as well.

Usagi and Mamoru danced the first while, then they fought through the crowdand went to the barto get some drinks.

Mamoru kept watch over Usagi and what she ordered, and she glared.

"What!"

"Nothing Usako, I just don't want you to over do it like you did at that colleague os mine's house. The one who spoke French, remember?"

"I thought it was punch," Usagi defended, taking a sip of her drink.

"Sure you did," he joked, and she punched his arm lightly.

'I did!"

"I know Usako, I'm just kidding with you," he said, and she giggled.

"I know, now come on, let's dance again!"

Ami gave a disguisted sigh as she fought through the crowd. She was getting a major headache from the stupid music and the place was just WAY too crowded.

When she had first entered, she had been seperated form almost all of her friends instantly. Duo had been with her the first while and had gotten her to dance a bit. She had lost him and had been looking to see what evil thing Sanyu was up to before she had started feeling light headed. She had a feeling it wasn't just from the music though, suspecting Sanyu of what she had done earlier. Right now, she needed air.

Finally, she spotted the exit and pushed her way outside. The place was so full that people were spilling out of the exits to try to get in and dance.

Being met with the refreshing night's air, she tooka deep breath, automatically more at ease.

She still had a headache though, and figured out why when she heard a familiar voice in her head again.

"So you had a feeling it was me. Well done, I suppose."

"What do you want now," Ami thought.

"What I wanted before. Information."

"How is it even possible that you can do this," Ami thought.

She was met with a laugh.

"Jupiter watched me while we were ooking, that she did. But not enough, apparantly."

"Cooking?"

"Yes, the amaizng soup. I put something in it. My own invention. It made all of your minds susceptable to this new trick of mine."

Realization suddenly dawned on Ami, as she recalled a couple of days ago when they had all eaten together. Sanyu did her a favor, by showing her exactly what had happened. The scene began to play in Ami's head.

Sanyu hummed as she chopped vegetables into a steaming pot of soup. Makoto was keeping an annoying close watch over her. Trowa stood stirring mashed potatoes. They were the flaked kind. Mako had complained, but it had to be used today. Makoto was currently removing the chicken from the oven, and she fanned her mit over the door when the hot air hit her.

Glancing behind her at the two, Sanyu smirked. Now Trowa and Makoto both had their backs turned to her, bent over the chicken to see if it was finished.

Pulling a small vile from her sweater pocket, she quickly dumped all of it's contents into the pot. She stuffed the vile back into her pocket just as the two turned around, and she began to stir the soup.

Perfect...

"Dinner," Makoto called from inside.

Everyone entered and sat down.

"Mmm, this is great Makoto. What did you put in the soup," Usagi asked.

"Actually, Sanyu made the soup using my recipe."

"Well, good job Sanyu," Usagi said, totally forgetting about Sanyu's past and helping herself to another plate. The talk at the table was lively and fun, laughter ringing through the house as they discussed taking a trip.

"That's crazy," Ami thought.

"I suppose so. Wow, I've really proven my trust, huh?"

"We already knew we couldn't trust you. Now, does this mean that you can do this to everyone else too?"

"Mmmhmmm," Sanyu responded, sounding amused.

"Then why me?"

"Why not," was the only response she received. This was followed by a horribel headache like the one Ami had experience in the car, and she gasped and placed her head in her hands.

"Why did you do that?"

"It's fun."

The headache continued for a few moments, making Ami ready to go weak in the knees, before an arm drapped around Ami's shoulder. It stopped, and she looked up, expecting to see one of her friends or Duo, but instead was met with the light blue eyes of the blonde boy from the beach.

"Hello again, you alright," he asked, his tone no lighter than it was on the beach.

"Fine," Ami said, pulling herself away, his arm falling off of her shoulder.

He caught her wrist.

"I see your friends aren't here anymore."

"How clever of you," she responded dryly, "now let me go."

"Why should I?" Ami attempted totear her wrist from his grasp, but it didn't work.

"Do it or I'll start screaming," Ami threatened, "we're in a very public place after all."

"That won't be necessary Ami," a voice behind them said.

The two turned to see Duo standing there, his arms crossed and looking mad.

"What do you wan with her?" Duo walked forwards as he asked. The guy smirked.

"I'm not as easilly intimidated asmy other three friends."

"How nice for you," Duo said, moving forwards quicker than Ami had ever seen and punching teh guy in the face, more specifically in the eye. The guy stumbled and let go of Ami's wrist, whom hapilly joined Duo where he stood.

"Thanks," she whispered. He nodded. The guy got back on his feet, looking for a fight it seemed. Duo grabbed Ami's hand and the two headed inside, this time sticking together in the crowds.

The guy followed, seemingly intent on catching the two, for what reason Ami did not know.

They were deep into the dancefloor within a few minutes.

"Ami, Duo, there you two are, where have you been all night?" They saw Minako dancing with Heero, surprising Duo, hwo kept his mouth shut.

"Hey," Makoto called from a couple of feet away with Trowa. Usagi and Mamoru were next to Minako and Heero, and Rei and Wufei were a coupel of feet away on their other side. Quatre and Sanyu were no longer making out, but just dancing, by Makoto and Trowa.

"How did you all find each other," Duo asked. They all shrugged.

"We were just lucky," Quatre responded.

"Hey," a voice shouted from behind Duo and Ami. "I wasn't finished with you!"

The two turned to see the angry blonde boy, who looked like he was going to have anasty black eye in the morning.

"Well we werefinishedwith you, now run along, back o your friends, wherever they are," Duo said, mocking the boy. The boy growled.

"You shutup! You'll be first to die!"

Duo lookedtaken back by this statement.

"Die? Woah, you need help man."

"The only ones who are going to need help are you and her," the boy said firmly, and Duo and Ami glanced at each other.

What a nutcase!

"Just ignore him Duo, he's probably drunk," Ami said.

"No1" The boy got up in her face. "I am NOT drunk. I'm just mad!"

"Why? You deserved what you got," Duo said, causing the boy to turn his glare from Ami to Duo. Their friends were now watching the scenario from where they stood, totally lost. Ami andDuo both simultaneously took a step back.

Duo couldn't believe he actually took a step back when the guy glared at him. His eyes were bloodshot and he had an evil look in them that was certainly not present before.Wufei frowned when Duo took a step back. What was so scary about the weak guy?

"Look," Duo said, "I have a lot of friends here. If you don't want to get the beating of your life, I suggest you just leave. Now."

Their friends stepped just behind the two, some people on the dance floor glancing over.

"It's not me who's gonna be hurting," the guy said darkly, and before anyone could react he had moved quick as lightening and punched Duo with all of his might in the stomach. The blow was so hard that Duo crumpled instantly to the floor, a shocked expression on his face. Never had he been hit that hard.The guy had literally knocked the air out of him.

Ami was on her knees next to him in an instant, worry all over her face, holding him up by his shoulders as Duo attempted to breath, gripping his stomach. Now everyone in their area of the dance floor was watching. Makoto looked around to see if there was any security or workers to break up the fight, but no one came.

The guy began to laugh an unearthly, dark laugh, causing the girls to go rigid as they realized what he was. The guy began to change into a youma. This made everyone dancing in thier area scream and attempt to run out. Most of the people could not see what was happening because the place was so big, but when they heard people screaming, it created a panic, and everyone began to scream and run for the exits, causing a mass evacuation as people searched for their friends.

The guy at the bar and the DJ ran out as well, the music being stopped abruptly.

Within five minutes, the entire building was almost cleared. The youma began to laugh.

"You see what fear does to stupid humans? Look at how fast they left, when they were fighting to get in before."

The girls looked at each other. Only the Sailor Scouts could beat this monster, but there was no way they could leave and transform without creating suspicion.

Duo sat on the floor, still taking raged breaths as Ami held his hsoulders, but breathing much better.

"Well what's the point now," Minako asked teh youma, "you had several hundreds of people in here to drain energy from, and now they're all gone."

"True true. I guess I'll have to substitute for all of yours," it said, throwing some kind of a spider web at the group, coveringa ll of them.

"Ick, what is this stuff," Usagi asked, and was answered when it suddenly glowed red, and it began to take their energy.

Sanyu was reacting worst of all, glaring at the youma like she was going to kill it with her bare hands, and the senshi knew why. Sanyu was being treated liek one of them, although the web could not take the same energy from her, it could take something else, ehr powers, which she would have to wiat to get back until the others were gone. Despite Sanyu's anger, Ami had the feeling that Sanyu had wanted the youma to come, but it simply hadn't followed orders.

The girls weakly glanced at each other, knowing Sanyu was going to have to fix her own mes.

Sanyu suddenly looked really drained as a portal opened behind teh youma and a voice said, "My faithful youma, take what you have collected and go." Sanyu was using whatever energy she had to trick the youma.

The youma nodded, snapping it's fingers. The web was gone, and in a moment, so was the youma. Everyone weakly got to their feet, helping each other up.

"Trouble just seems to follow us wherever we go," Duo said, giving a slight chuckle before grimacing and holding his stomach. Ami triedly helped him stand, her arm around his shoulder.

"Let's just get out of here," Rei said, everyone agreeing, as they struggled to leave. They could here Mamoru on his cell phone, talking with an operator for a taxi company. There was no way they were walking to the hotel after that.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the guys and girls went their seperate ways, and Sanyu didn't even complain when she got stuck with the one person mat.

Hope there aren't too many typos again, tell me what you think and review please!
