The Missing Sailor

Chapter 46

" Lovely...just perfectly and utterly lovely." Emma said to herself. She reached the school lobby and noticed that the plaque where they had the Year book favorites, her name was scratched out in each title she won. Even her dad's name was cruelly scratched out . She just thought that was low.

" What are you doing here?"

" I'm here to get my friend back." Emma replied.

" I'm right here..." Rini said. She was still in her black lady form.

" The only ways to get the Rini I know back, is to fight, correct?" Emma asked, turning to her.

" yes." Rini replied. " But...we do it out side..where everyone can see."

" Fine." Emma said. She really just wanted to get this over with. Rini transported outside. Emma soon followed.

" Ready to die?" Rini asked.

" Not in particular.." Emma replied. Rini just frowned. She was the first to move, she lunged at Emma with the dagger. Emma dodged it and swept Rini's feet from out from under her. Rini fell on her but and frowned.

" I didn't even know you knew how to fight dirty." Rini said.

" That's not dirty fighting..." Emma replied. " This is!" Emma knocked Rini on her back and put her foot against her neck. Emma summoned her sword and held it above Rini. " I told you I don't want to do this!" Emma shouted. " I told you I didn't want to fight you Rini!" For a second there, Emma thought she saw the real Rini. Her red orbs, scared, and sad. But, that only lasted a second, cause Black Lady was glaring at her again.

" You are going to die! And Hoshiko will never be born, and my future self will never get her heart broken and betrayed!" Rini spat. Emma took her sword and pinned Rini's dress to the concrete. But she didn't remove her foot.

" If you kill me today, you're going to have to deal with the senshi, and your parents, and my family, Meggie, Kasadi, Katsuro.. But most of all, you're going to have to deal with Sam's broken heart!" Emma screamed. " I can assure you, the senshi will not open their arms to a killer. My family will shun you, Meggie and Kasadi will hate you, Katsuro will most likely dump you and Sam...Sam will try to deal with it, cause you're his baby sister. And he loves you. And most of all, you will snap out of this madness you were put in and you will feel guilty. You will have your heart ripped out again! And that hurts so much more that any of that other stuff. I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry you felt neglected. I'm sorry I missed out on so many things! But, I don't regret any of the other stuff that I did do."

" But, you will be dead!" Rini hissed.

" Exactly. I will be dead, and you won't be able to take back any of you actions." Emma said as tears fell. " I never asked for any of this...I never asked to be Sailor Star.."

" But you are!" Rini screamed. Emma sobbed.

" I-I'm sorry...Rini...Y-you thought I... was the person who would b-bring you closer to Ho-Hoshiko... I-I-I'm sorry...that...I couldn't..." Emma cried. " I'm sorry Rini!"

When Emma said that, a far away memory from her past flooded her mind. A woman's voice spoke to her.

" Did you know Hoshiko, Rini?" the woman asked.

" She was my best friend." Rini said.

" I'm glad to hear that. Now Rini, when you go to the past, and you meet a girl named Emma, treat her with respect. She is a great friend. She will love having you as a friend." she said.

That woman that asked her that came a month after Hoshiko died.. Right before she came to the earth to become a real sailor senshi...that woman had seemed some how familiar...but she couldn't put her finger on it.

" Remember about what I said Rini. Emma is one of the best friends around. She'll bring you closer to Hoshiko." Rini smiled.

"Emma...I'm sorry.." the real Rini said. But the spell she was on, sent electricity through her body. " AHH!" Emma looked around, there was a crowd of people gathering. She looked on the roof of the school, and there was Monoka. Monoka sneered and jumped down. Her scarlet hair blowing.

" Truth, Hate, Jealousy!" Monoka screamed. Rini screamed. " Envy, wrath, Anger!" Rini kicked Emma off and pulled out the sword. " Loneliness, betrayal," Rini tried to stab Emma, but The shield materialized and blocked her off. " Mourning!" Every word Monoka said, caused Rini to attack again. Rini kicked Emma in the leg, hard. She screamed as she heard the bones crack in her left leg. She tried fell to the ground What was this spell, why were these words controlling Rini? Emma tried to think..what could block off these words?

" Happiness." Emma said. Rini hesitated for a moment but kept attacking. " Love.." Rini dropped the sword, and held her head.

" Rini, she betrayed you! She left you behind. She took advantage of your teaching. She used you!"

" Rini!" Emma yelled. " I know I hurt you! But, it was an accident, you never spoke up!"

" Death, betrayal, greed!" Monoka yelled. Rini screamed in pain.

" Love, Togetherness, Selflessness!" Emma said. She climbed up to her feet, standing on one foot, her broken leg just laid limp on the ground.

" KILL HER!" Monoka yelled. Rini took her dagger and charged towards Emma. Emma used a spell, the spell that Hoshiko had told her earlier, the same spell that killed Hoshiko back on the moon. She aimed her star staff. She knew it wouldn't kill her, because she had her own powers, plus Hoshiko's power to use.

" STARS OF THE UNIVERSE COMBINE YOUR POWER TO PROTECT ALL!" Emma screamed. Just as the power shot out of the star staff, there was a piercing feeling ripping through her body. Rini had stabbed her, just as she finished reciting the spell. She saw Monoka screaming. It was like she was on fire. Monoka's skin started melting off and turning to dust. Soon, she was a screaming skeleton, before the bones fell into a pile of ash.

" EMMAAAAA!" Sam screamed from the crowd. Emma put her hand on her stomach and looked at it. It was covered in blood. She looked at Rini who was in front of her. She was back in her Sailor Mini Moon uniform, and she looked like she was thirteen again.

" Rini...you're..b-back.." Emma stuttered pulling out the dagger. " I-I'm g-g-glad..." She said. A trickle of blood left her mouth. Then her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fell back.

" EMMA!" Sam yelled. He caught her before she hit the ground. " Emma, wake up, wake up Emma!" Sam yelled, holding her close.
