Okay I have no volunteer to proof edit my story but that all right. If you're interested go back to chapter 7 and read the author's note chapter as well. Not bothering to repeat it.
Last week I had a lovely time in Queensland and during this week apart from school, hanging out and homework managed to finish this off.
Enjoy.
Chibi Outers
Chapter 8: Nighttime troubles
Haruka
Haruka ran her fingers through Chiharu's soft short locks. After Haruka let her come to sleep with her on the couch she fell asleep ten or so minutes after. Haruka hadn't fallen asleep yet but she didn't think she could. For some reason she just started having this feeling. Something about what Michiru said earlier but she couldn't remember what. She let out a tired sigh and glanced at Chiharu.
She couldn't believe it. She had a clone. A clone. Why in the world does she have a clone? Or the other Outer's as well? Were they in real threat this time?
She has died a couple of times in the past but with Sailor Pluto and Moon's help she was revived as well Michiru after the heart crystals and all of them after Galaxia. She just couldn't comprehend that she might die and wont come back to life like previous times. Sailor Moon wouldn't let them die no matter what even if she wanted to stay like that but Sailor Moon wouldn't allow it. But if they couldn't be revived after their death, will their clones be as good as them? They were only four still and not that strong unless when they die they accelerate in age like Hotaru did with Nehelenia.
Haruka shook her head and this time let out a frustrated sigh. No, she shouldn't think of this yet, she needed her sleep otherwise tomorrow might be hell when she returned to the racetrack to check up on her car and test it out. For the first time she was glad it was off season otherwise racing, taking care of troublesome clones and fighting youmas might put quite a bit of stress on her.
Haruka leaned her head back on the pillow gently shifting around to get comfortable again while trying not to wake Chiharu.
Damn Seiya. If he didn't come here she'd be already asleep curled up with Michiru. He just ruined the day for her. First with the whole 'Seiya-papa' thing and then insults her and he doesn't care for the furniture which SHE paid for which caused her to hit him a few times and that's why Michiru punished her with the couch. Stupid Seiya. Always had to cause trouble with her.
Michiru
Michiru twisted and turned in her bed trying to find a comfortable position to sleep. She missed Haruka's warmth tonight. She'd sometimes had trouble sleeping on her own if she was out on a concert by herself or when Haruka had gone somewhere for a race in another country.
Michiru rolled onto her right side and stared at the door. It then creaked open and a shadow streamed in. Michiru raised her head wondering if it was Ruka coming back begging to her that she should let her sleep on the bed "Ruka?"
"Iie, its me Michiru-mama," whispered a small voice.
"Sayuri-chan?"
"Hai. I can't sleep. Is it alright if I sleep with you?"
"Hai, come here," Michiru pulled back the cover for Sayuri to snuggle in.
Sayuri soon fell asleep softly breathing into Michiru's chest. Michiru closed her eyes trying to drift off to sleep but something other than Haruka was keeping her up.
Damn she was getting this feeling again. Well this is going to be a long night.
Setsuna
Setsuna sat at her bed watching the Milky Way through a portal. She then focused on their planets, which seemed fine. Nothing so far happening but she was still keeping an eye out. She glanced over Akiko who was sleeping peacefully on her bed.
She grabbed her time key staff and changed the picture of the last youma attack Michiru and Haruka faced. She watched the green slimy youma take the girl's energy before Neptune cut in. The fight continued to play until Neptune and Uranus finally destroyed the youma.
She chuckled when Chibi-Uranus started jumping up and down enthusiastically. It reminded her of the time in the Silver Millennium after Uranus and Neptune first fight, it was the same reaction. But they were fifteen back then. Haruka can be so childlike sometimes. Especially when she decides to prank her sometimes or when her hair becomes a mess that she starts teasing her and then both of them would bicker with each other and of course Michiru just sits back enjoying the show. It must be funny to her. If she was watching too she might've been laughing too.
She decided to then take a look at her roommates and adoptive daughter. Yep, they were all up and with each chibi-senshi with them. She might as well get them in the kitchen and have a talk with them. When she gets the feeling back in her legs first.
Hotaru
Hotaru paced around her room glancing from Cho to her window. A tree branch brushed against her window creating a rat-a-tat noise. She closed her eyes and concentrated looking down at the earth from the skies. The beautiful earth she lived on. She then gazed up at the pearl up in the sky. The moon, beautiful pearl moon. She then started hearing a beautiful music playing, and someone singing in a beautiful tone. It was her music that she always heard when she awakened. She focused on her silent planet. It was the same. Dark and silent. Like how she was.
A door creaked open but she kept her eyes closed. She had a feeling who it was. "Setsuna-mama,"
"Hai hime-chan. Come down to the kitchen. We're going to have a small meeting,"
She lazily opened her eyes and glanced back "Hai, I'll be down in a second,"
Setsuna nodded and left to grab Michiru and Haruka but left the door open for her.
Hotaru grabbed her favorite dark purple blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders before heading down to the kitchen.
Kitchen
Michiru wrapped her hands and fingers around her hot teacup as she leaned against the counter. An arm wrapped around her waist bringing her closer and warming her at the same time. "Ruka," she whispered resting her head on her shoulder.
"Cold, ne?" Haruka smirked gazing down at her.
"You're still sleeping on the couch tonight, I've got a hot water bottle by the name of Sayuri in my room so you're out of luck escaping the couch,"
Haruka pouted and tried to do her own version of puppy eyes. "Please,"
Michiru chuckled and sipped her tea "No luck Ruka. You're not doing it properly,"
Setsuna sipped her own tea before setting it down on the wooden dining table. "So, this feeling we're feeling,"
"Something's going to happen tonight," murmured Hotaru.
"Hai," Haruka glanced outside. It was cold, dark and eerily silent outside. A chill ran up her spine and she took a sip from her tea again.
"There's going to be another youma attack isn't it?" asked Michiru staring down at her tea. She then glanced at her Deep Mirror that she'd taken along with her. Yes, she could see it. Somewhere in an abandoned theme park there was a youma waiting to attack.
"At the abandoned theme park right?" asked Setsuna giving her cup a quick rinse and wash before setting it out to dry.
"Hai but its waiting. I don't know what it's waiting for but it's waiting,"
"Then we might as well head there in our senshi fuku for it. We won't attack until it does," started Haruka.
"And we'll be as quiet as mouse waiting for what the youma is waiting for," added Hotaru who also finished off her tea.
"Hai, as Outer Sailor Senshi,"
Abandoned theme park
The four Sailor Senshi stood in the shadow of an old dried up cherry tree. Neptune took out her Deep Mirror again and gazed back at the youma.
"Three more have appeared. They must be waiting for us. One youma for each,"
"If something happens or if you're badly hurt call on our communicators. We need to be careful. It might be a trap," advised Pluto glancing at each of them in the eyes.
"Hai," agreed the other three.
"Where's are the youmas located?"
"There's one in a fun house, another in abandoned gift shop which I might warn who ever goes inside its bigger than what it looks, another in between a carrousel and burger stand and last by the dock,"
"Dock?"
"There's a small river nearby," explained Neptune tucking away her mirror in a dimensional pocket.
"I'll take the fun house," said Haruka unsheathing her space sword.
"I'll take the gift shop," nodded Hotaru swirling her silence glaive around.
"I'll take the one by the carrousel and burger stand," added Pluto.
"That leaves the dock for me then,"
Fun House
Uranus scanned the fun house as she moved stealthy throughout it. She kept to the walls and was alert for any kind of youma to appear. She heard a crack above her and in front of her popped out a skeleton. Of course first thinking it was a youma she swung her space sword at it chopping half of it off.
"Baka," sighed Uranus kicked side the skeleton legs and pelvis as she continued through the fun house. Last time she remembered fun houses weren't this scary, she usually enjoyed them but tonight changed her mind about them. Possibly now she could start hating them.
Just as she was about to walk through the hallway the doors shut. She spun around on her heels to meet an odd clown grinning eerily at her. Its white and red painted smile sent shivers down her back and blue stars were painted over his eyes making it difficult to look her enemy in its eyes.
She always looks her enemy in the eyes. The eyes can hold a lot of things like give you hints on what its intending to do. His curly red hair flowing softly against its white power cheeks and his black polka dotted yellow costume was baggy and torn at a few places. The back of the clown's shinny oversized shoes was slightly peeling back.
"PEE-LIN!" growled the clown as it raised his fist.
Uranus acted fast as she swung her space sword once again "SPACE SWORD BLASTER!"
A golden whip emerged from the tip of her sword and sliced off the clown's arm off the elbow.
"PEE-LIN!" The clown shook his hand again "Tttrrr-TRICK!" From the elbow a balloon materialized and with a pop changed back into his arm.
"Shimatta,"
Gift Shop
Saturn pushed the old rotten door open creating a long creaking noise. She moved silently inside and let the door close itself.
The room was dark with the moonlight seeping in through the dirty windows. She could make out old shelves with ripped Pokemon toys and broken china on the ground. A few shirts lay here and there and there was broken wood with splinters in a not too far corner. A cash registrar was open containing no cash inside and just stood on the worn counter. On her right she just barely made out a row of stairs leading to the second floor. Trusting her instinct she ascended up the stairs that led to just one huge room that was pitch black. Patting around the wall she search for light switch but she couldn't find one. Just then a small light emitted from the ceiling and as she turned around she saw a plastic figure stand in the middle.
She eyed her enemy and raised her glaive before swinging down on the youma's torso cutting him in half. Big mistake.
Inside the plastic figure black smoke emerged and hovered over her before changing into a huge bat. She didn't have time to swing as it swooped down at her.
Carrousel and burger stand
Pluto waited in the shadows of the burger stand trying to spot the youma. Her eyes scanned left to right but she was missing something. She gazed back at the carrousel that stood still. Her eyes scanned the area again searching for anything strange or someone or something hiding somewhere waiting for her to come out.
She then heard footsteps and rocks tumbling around on the ground. A youma. She trusted her instinct and spun around on her heels with her staff raised. She swung her staff at the youma behind her. She saw her the end of her staff hitting something against the stomach before falling back on the pavement. As she raised her time staff again her eyes observed the youma lying on the pavement.
The youma had disguised itself as a carnie wearing jean overalls and a blue-white plaid button up shirt underneath. The youma had shoulder length electric blue hair with white streaks. Its fingers were shaped like a cats claws and were dirty.
The youma took its time getting off the ground and starred back at her with cold piercing blue eyes. She heard it softly grow before it launched itself at her.
But Pluto was faster than it and managed to counter it with her attack "Dead Scream," the pink energy ball hit the youma quickly making it convulse a bit. The youma grunted and revealed its sharp feline teeth. It hissed at her before it lunged up at the air disappearing. She knew it was jumping over behind so she spun around again to meet it only to have its boot connect to her stomach.
She landed her back flat and her time staff rolled away from her "Shimatta," She went to reach for it but the youma had pounced on her and its teeth were already scraping her neck.
Dock
Neptune stood by an old oak tree scanning the dock and river. She took out her Deep Mirror and searched for the youma again. "Where are you hiding?" She whispered. She spotted the youma swimming the in river before she saw some sort strike of light aimed at her. She raised her head and flipped her mirror just in time to shield herself from being hit by a deadly blue laser.
Neptune watched the dirty blue fish like youma drag itself out of the river-dripping wet. Its cold green eyes eyed her as it started advancing at her. Neptune narrowed her eyes at the youma and a smile tugged at her lips. As the monster was one meter away from her it's swung its wet arm and Neptune easily caught it. The youma gave Neptune its own smile and clenched its fist. Green slime oozed out of its fist and covered Neptune's hand.
Neptune immediately pulled away from the youma watched the slime ooze around her hand. Her hand muscles started to spasm and she couldn't stop them closing it into a fist. The slime than hardened and became hard as stone.
"Shimatta," Now she couldn't use her Deep Submerge attack at the monster but she still had her Deep Mirror with her thank god. The monster took this advantage and launched itself at her.
A/N: Oh how I love leaving you all there. Leaving you all there at cliffhangers. Peelin means clown in Japanese if anyone was wondering.
Cheers and review please.
