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.
When she opened the door Usagi was quite shocked to find Rei standing there. The raven haired girl looked down at her feet and then her violet eyes gazed up at her former friend.
"Rei? How did you know that I was here?" The raven haired girl looked up at her now with a soft smile.
"The fire."
"Well, that makes sense. What do you want?" Now Rei looked around the hall before Usagi got the gist. Whatever the fire scout wanted to say needed to be said in private. "Come in," she said as she stepped to the side. Mamoru stood close to his roommate as the girl walked past them. The other scouts relaxed and sat down in their respective seats. Rei walked to the room and looking around sat in a lone chair. She knew that the scouts were not happy with her. Scratch that. She was sure that they were pissed at her. She was beginning to think that she had been a little too power hungry.
"Well," Mako prompted. The others nodded.
"Well...um...I was kinda being a bitch earlier..."
"Kinda?" Mina spat as she leaned forward. "You were being a total bitch toward our guardians not to mention that we were acting like they were intentionally hiding things from you!" Usagi watched as the scouts laid into the fire scout. She could tell that Rei was sorry for her actions, but what had led her to them at Mamoru's house? Rei never apologized. She was known for her temper and most of the time Usagi and the girls forgave her, but she must have royally screwed up. "You should know that because of you Luna is hurt!"
"What!?" Rei yelled in confusion.
"She ran to Usagi's house when you accused her of lying to you!"
"STOP!" Everyone turned to find Usagi glaring at all of them, her usually warm eyes ice cold. "This is ridiculous! Talk about immature! Here's the thing. Luna was hurt because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plain and simple. Let me clear the air here on a few things." She turned to Rei. "Mina is the leader. As your princess I command it!" A gasp filled the apartment. "Yeah, I figured all that out and now I want to make it clear. Mina runs the show, but she still answers to me and right now she is doing a poor job," Usagi said as she turned to the other blond. "You should have shut her up the second that she talked of taking over. You should have taken Luna's side at that moment and left with her. No one is to blame, but there were measures that could have been taken."
"Usagi right," Mamoru stated as he moved to stand next to Usagi. "There are always measures to be taken when it comes to a group. What we need to do now is make sure that Luna and Artemis are never alone. I think that we need to be grouped up." Usagi nodded.
"Luna and Artemis will be here with Ami while the rest of us will be searching for the rest of the gems. We have six more of them and we need to find them now!" The group nodded as everyone transformed save for Ami who headed to the back room with the white furred guardian.
For the next several days the group worked extra hard to find the remaining gems. It took them less then a week to find the red, orange, and green gems. The yellow was easy because the one who held it in his body searched for them.
"I know what you want," the dark haired boy stated. "I know that you are all friends of Ami's." This had shocked the scouts at the mention of their blue haired friend. "I know who all of you are. Please take the gem. I don't want it." He stood still with his hands at his sides. It took a matter of minutes for them to remove the gem before having to heal Ryo back to his human half. He really hadn't even wanted to transform, but he knew that it was inevitable. After they had taken his gem they left him at the hospital. They had done that with all the gem holders even if it seemed unnecessary.
"I wish all of them were that easy," Mamoru stated. The group nodded. That would be nice, but they knew that was a pipe dream. It took them little more then a few more days to find the remaining two gems.
"Finally,now how do I make it into one gem?" Usagi inquired as they sat in Mamoru's condo. All looked to the now healed Luna and the white cat that had stayed by her side. The cats in question shook their heads.
"This is how!" a voice called as the room grew dark, the light that had been coming through the window was even extinguished. "Die Princess of the Crystal of light!"
The end! *Smirks* Just kidding. No way would I ever end a story on a sour note. Too much hate in the world as it is.
