"Usagi!" the dark haired hero yelled as he followed his roommate out the door and down the hall leaving the scouts sitting there in shock before it hit them. Soanyo was in Usagi's house!


Usagi rushed down the street, her transformation bursting forward as she willed it, her heart hurting with all the fear that flowed in her body. Behind her Mamoru watched her transformation occur. The others were close behind him and he could tell by the gasps that she had never done this before. Could you truly transform while moving? If this was true then he should try it. Closing his eyes he willed his body to change and found when he opened his eyes that he was in his Tuxedo Mask form now. Was it really that easy? He called back to the girls to transform quickly. When they all arrived as Usagi's house they found the teen hopping up her tree to stand outside her window. Tuxedo Mask jumped after her as the girls waited below. With a slam the front door flew open to reveal a very pissed off Soanyo.

"Ah, so I see that the whole posse it here," she stated with a grin as she held out a passed out black cat, her fur mangled. "Is this what you want?" Moon jumped down to stand just feet from the evil child before her. "I don't want to release my pet." Tuxedo Mask stood beside her now. "She came looking for her dear little Moon Princess only to find me, the Queen of Death and Doom."

"Let her go! You don't even want her!" the blond heroine screamed. "You want the gem and you want my death so leave her out of it!" The area became deadly quiet except for the laughter from the girl holding the motionless Luna.

"Those things are true, but I still like to cause pain," she said still chuckling. "It makes me smile and brings joy to my bright life." The scouts growl as Usagi moves forward only for Tuxedo Mask to hold her back. His hand on her shoulder was firm and warm. She didn't turn to him as she nodded. He was right. She was only baiting them. When the girl before them saw that they were not going to fight her she turned from them and with a flick of her wrist sent Luna flying. Mamoru jumped for the downed guardian as Usagi stood there. She had known that was what he was going to do so she had let him. "You are not much fun Princess Serenity. You weren't in your dreams and you aren't in real life. Such a rotten disappointment." With those words she was gone.


A few hours later found a very conscious guardian surrounded by relieved faces.

"Oh, Luna I am so glad that you are okay." Usagi smiled down at her feline guardian as the others left the room save for Mamoru. "I need to tell you so much, but I want to wait until you feel better," the blond stated as she kissed her guardian's bandaged head and headed out of the room with Mamoru in tow. The pair headed into the other room where all the others, still excluding Rei sat.

"We need to find those gems and quick," were the first words that entered the air. It had been from Mina.

"I am willing to do it all in a matter of hours," Usagi stated. "Mamoru and I have been searching for them at night when there are less people around to bother us. It also provides us with more cameo for the hunt."

"We have the blue gem, but the issue is finding the human holding the gems in them," the dark haired male stated as he stepped forward to hold out the gem in question. "The Moon Wand has a tracker in it and it seems that we have no real competition for them unlike when we were fighting Beryl. She always was our competition, but I think that Soanyo sees it as a waste of time to fight for them since she sees herself as taking them back as soon as we find them all."

"How does she know that we have them?" Mina inquired. The other nodded to. They were all concerned. Sure, Usagi had told them that the girl in question could haunt her dreams, but did that mean she could read minds?

"Not sure," Usagi stated. "She just knows. I am not sure if it is a mind thing or not. I am not sure that she doesn't have minions. She didn't imply if she had help or if she was solo. We will just have to wait and find out after we get the gems. On that note I think that we will have to work in one large group since there is only one Moon Wand." Everyone nodded. Suddenly there was a knock at Mamoru's door causing all to turn and look at the offending door. Usgai headed for the door with Mamoru close on her heels as the others stood, all of them ready to fight.


Best time to stop on this one. Don't want to give away too much. I know that it was a short chapter, but since my computer is on the mend I can't use it. I don't get too much time on his computer, that's my hubby's, since he is a gamer.
