Sailor Nemesis

Chapter 7

While the girls gave Samantha time to calm down Sestsuna thought up a way to distract her, to make her focus on something else. It would be so easy; their Princess was distracted easily when you knew her.

Sestsuna had a thought, Samantha hasn't really played any of the games before at the Arcade, except what they just did, and that was for business not pleasure. With that said who could argue? Haruka and Michiru went along with it, so Sam had to go with them.

When they got there the others set the example for her by each picking their favorite game and playing it. Sam still not really comfortable with the game idea just went from friend to friend observing but she had a different goal in mind then just watching them play games.

First was Haruka, she went straight to the Race Car game, Haruka told her it was called driving and that these cars, they had them in out here in real life. To add to that she explained stuff about the cars and finished with, "You don't have to drive if you don't want to, we all can do it so," she chuckled, "You don't like cars do you?"

"Not really I mean, I am still old fashioned you could say. Oh by the way Haruka, there is something I have wanted to ask you. I heard from Venus and the rest of them that you were a guy when the Death Busters were around, but now you are a girl. Is there some reason? I am not saying anything bad or anything like that, I am simply curious. Don't get me wrong."

Haruka knew that she really didn't mean anything by the question when she started to ramble. Haruka laughed at her and shook her head. "I was always a girl back on the moon whenever we were together; I thought it would have been weird for you, that's really the only reason."

Haruka knew it would be bad if she knew that both sides liked her, she would be in trouble. It really didn't matter which side was out though. She knew if she thought about it really hard then she would realize which side liked her more. It was her guy side, and she didn't know exactly what would happen.

Haruka knew that she didn't know, in that part of Sam's life she didn't notice things like that. Even if someone close to her, if she thought of them as a friend she would never notice stuff like that.

'I wonder if she remembers this shadow, there is a shadow in my mind of a man we all knew. She was close to him to, I wonder if he loved her or if she loved him instead of the prince. I can't exactly remember but I think they were connected.' Haruka shook her head, if any of that was true then Sam would remember at least the shadow and look for it.

Haruka continued with her game, trying to focus on it so her thoughts would not wonder.

Next person Sam went to was Michiru. Sam knew she shouldn't try to sugar coat this so Michiru would not know like she did with Haruka. She went up to her and plain out asked, "Are you in love with Haruka's guy side? Or Haruka's girl side, sigh what I mean to ask are you in love with her at all?"

Michiru's eyes went big and her face went red, "No, Princess I am not." Sam nodded and left her. Michiru gave a big sigh, 'I wonder what the Princess would do if she knew Haruka and I love each other?' Michiru shivered, she didn't want to know. But the thing that worried her was would Haruka's feelings for her disappear now that Sam was here?

Andrew had been wondering from the moment she walked in how to ask her out. By the time he actually got the courage to ask her out, he went to find her and was so disappointed to find that her and her friends left.

As the girls left they heard a scream. Sam looked at Sestsuna and Michiru looked at Haruka, after that one moment of quick thinking and eye contact they ran. They knew that the scream could be anything normal but something inside of them told them it wasn't. They knew it was the Sailor Scout within.

When they got to the source of the scream they saw a girl, she looked to be in junior high, she was getting her energy sucked out of her by a monster, it looked like a person but there was ribbon all over it. That ribbon was around the girl, it connected them. They knew immediately that it was a monster from the Dark Kingdom.

They got their morphing pens out and yelled, "NEPTUNE CRYSTAL POWER, URANUS CRYSTAL POWER, PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER, and NEMESIS PLANET POWER!" They transformed and attacked the enemy.

Nemesis was first to attack; "STAR BLINDING LIGHT!" the enemy let go of the girl because it couldn't see, the light was too bright. Pluto and Uranus came up to finish it off.

"URANUS WORLD SHAKING"

"PLUTO DEADLY SCREAM"

The attacks combined and hit the ribbon monster, then after a few moments everyone could see, the light had gone. Nemesis, Pluto and Uranus saw that Neptune was next to the girl looking her over, trying to see if she was alright.

As Neptune was carrying the girl toward her fellows Scouts, Bunny's court came into view running toward them already transformed.

They saw Neptune carrying the girl and stopped, she gave the girl to them and said in a disapproving voice, "You are too late; she would have been dead if we had not shown up."

The girls de-transformed and left.

Rei, Minako, Ami, and Makoto carried on the meeting after they had taken the girl to the hospital. Bunny and Mamoru were listening to their reports and their discussion about what had happened what the other girls did and said etc.

Not one time did they speak, they were only half listening anyway, what was taking most of their attention was their memories about before Beryl, before the war.

Thinking about them, Bunnys sister and everything that had gone on in the last week or two, the meeting was over after a while, they didn't really seem to notice though, and they didn't see each other or talk to each other for the next few days. Their friends were worried. The girls stayed with Bunny, Rini would have gone between them, but she was home.

They knew for a fact that Pluto had taken her key and had forbidden her from coming back. Half a week had past and Bunny decided that it was time that she see Mamoru so she went to the Arcade to see if Andrew had seen him.

As Andrew listened to her, he shook his head but he did ask her a question.

"Hey Bunny do you know a girl with long blond hair like yours, well I have seen her once with her hair up like yours but the rest of the time she had it loose, well not the rest if the time, she sometimes has it in a bow, kind of like Makoto. She reminds me of you really."

Bunny looked at him funny, and said slowly, "You mean Samantha?"

"Yeah, wow you do know her, Samantha; I think that is what her friends call her I guess."

"Yeah I know her, she is my older sister."

He took a step back, 'sister? Bunny and her are sisters? My good luck.' He thought quickly, "Since she is your sister could you see if she would go out with me?"

Bunny's face betrayed her thoughts, her eyes were wide and she looked horrified. "W...wh...what? Y…yo…you actually like her?"

"Yeah why not she is pretty, and she seems nice."

"So Andrew is that all you like about her? It's that is pretty?" she said that like she was disgusted with him. After she said that she ran out of the Arcade.
