Transformations and Surprises

By Sailor Phoenix1997

"I so can't believe you!" Minako screamed at Rei. The Inner Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen had turned to their civilian selves and were all enraged at the fire Senshi. Even Ami.

"You could've helped us. Not just stand around and watch."

"If you'd just tried a little bit Usako wouldn't have been bit."

"Mamo-chan. I told you I'm fine. It didn't even hurt. Felt like a bee sting." Makato took a threatening step towards Rei.

"What is she to me but an annoyance? And she can obviously take care of herself." Minako clenched her fists and tried to keep control.

"She's still our princess. It's our job to protect her. If I had been able to I would've been bit for her. Unlike a certain someone standing before us."

"If this is about what I did earlier at the Shrine let it go. By now your humiliation of my retaliation has passed but you just won't let it go until I pay for it. Is that it?" Minako covered her mouth at the sight of her princess. "What?"

"Usagi-chan. When did your hair turn silver?" Ami asked. Usagi ran a hand through her hair.

"I think it's an illusion. My hair looks silver in the moonlight."

"Its not that silver Usagi-chan. And are those claws on your hands?" Makato asked. Fear covering her looked down at her hands now getting smaller. A silver tail erupted from her rear. Silver wolf ears popped up from her body became more lean and tiny. Her breasts retreated into her body. Her clothes turned into silver fur. The rest of her hair covered whatever skin remained and turned it into silver fur. She fell onto all fours as her hands and feet turned into paws. In a matter of seconds a silver wolf stood where Tskino Usagi had. She looked at her new body and the people she cared about. She stopped at Rei, turned tail and ran into the forest. Rei shrugged and walked away.

"Don't you dare!" Makato yelled as she grabbed Rei's arm. Rei yanked her arm free.

"What do you want?"

"How can you just walk away from this? She's our princess."

"No she's a wolf princess now."

"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!"

"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER!"

"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!" In seconds Sailor Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury ran into the forest after their beloved princess. Mamoru turned to Rei.

"What?"

"You could have done something." He transformed into Tuxedo Mask and ran after the Senshi.

"I don't care!" Rei ran off toward the Shrine.

"What? The princess turned into what?" Michiru asked through Minako's communicator. Three tired Senshi and an exhausted Chiba Mamoru sat in his apartment.

"A wolf. A silver wolf."

"Any markings to tell who she is?"

"No. Just terrified blue eyes probably." The communicator beeped loudly. "That would probably be Haruka." Minako closed her communicator and opened it to reveal Haruka's face.

"I want a full analysis about her description!" Haruka ordered.

"Ami-chan sent it to your computer by now."

"What way did she run?"

"We followed her to the beach. Her paw prints disappeared into the ocean. And we looked all over the coast for her. No luck," Makato said. Haruka put on her helmet.

"I'll keep up the search and tell Michiru that I'll be late for dinner and to check the sea."

"She already has. Setsuna has even gone to the Time Gate to check the Time Stream for her location."

"Uranus out." Haruka's image disappeared as Mamoru walked into the living room with a glass of water.

"Any of the Outers had any luck?" he asked.

"Not one. Hotaru's been in bed with the chicken pox all day, Setsuna went to check the Time Stream, Michiru nothing and Haurka's looking right now." Mamoru sat next to the Senshi of Love and handed her the glass. "Arigato." Ami shook her head from the chair to try to stay awake.

"Ami. Why don't you get some sleep. Like they say,'Exhaustion brings stupidity.'"

"I can't sleep without knowing my princess is safe." Makato made herself comfy next to the coffee table before dozing off. Minako leaned her head against the sofa cushion. After a few seconds she was snoring. "Appalling."

"Not very flattering for the Senshi of Love." Ami chuckled behind her hand and stifled a yawn. She started typing away on her computer."What are you working on anyway?"

"A reason why she turned into a wolf in the first place. If I can figure that out maybe I can find a way for us to turn her back."

"Maybe it's not science that did this."

"What are you saying?"

"I mean that maybe Rei did this. After all. She'd have a motive, opportunity, and means."

"Explain in more depth please."

"Means, Usako ticked Rei off earlier today. Opportunity, the monster attacked Usako and she was just watching. Motive, to give Usako worse humiliation than Usako gave her."

"True. Those all go together."

A/N: Thanks for your comments and for reading. I've got school in a bit so I can't stay long. I hope I can write again soon.
