I do not own sailor moon or its characters.

Mina sat alone in a padded room; everything was white and padded, the floor and the walls, even the ceiling. Mina sat with her legs crossed and her face forward; she didn't move at all and she never blinked. A visible camera was in the highest part of the room, it moved with her, but since she didn't move it didn't.

In a room on the other side of the hospital, people were watching Mina. Kusanagi stood in the darkened room with Daniel, Darien and Malachite. Zoicite was silently reading Mina's chart, when he was done he took off his glasses and set the chart down.

"Well," said Darien in a demanding and irritated tone.

Zoicite sighed "All the tests show she's still deteriorating, she has some chances but at the rate that everything is progressing," he paused. "She doesn't have much time left."

Malachite stared at the screen, "How long?"

"A few weeks maybe a few months, we can't be sure, every day it seems worse," Zoicite said.

"Is there anything that can be done," Kusanagi asked.

"Unless we can find an antidote I don't believe we can save her," Zoicite told them.

"What did this to her?" said Daniel, who had known little about the situation.

"Slayers," said Darien with anger in his voice.

"How?"

"They infected her with a disease that attacks the mind and then the body, it's practically eating her from the inside out," Zoicite explained.

"Do we know what slayers did it?" asked Daniel.

"No, we have a few hunches but nothing is for certain," said Malachite.

Suddenly Darien's phone began to ring he picked it out of his pocket and held it up to his ear, "Yes?" Everyone stared at him except Malachite. Darien silently listened to the man on the other side, "When?" he asked, then said, "I mean when did you see her last?"

"What's going on Gabe," Darien's eyes got wide and his mouth twitched, suddenly the phone line was cut off. "Gabe? Gabe?" yelled Darien.

"What' wrong?" asked Kusanagi.

"Gabriel was driving Ami to make sure that she stayed safe while she was out with Lita, and Elisha, and on the way he saw three women in a car following him," Darien said.

"So?"

"He recognized one of them, he she was at the bar the other night when Bella was killed." "He dropped Ami off and then drove around the corner, he said that the woman's two friends went into the restaurant and she drove off, he followed her to a building across the street and followed her when she got out." "He was following her when the phone line was cut off," said Darien.

"We need to get there, they might be after Ami" yelled Zoicite. "We have to get her out of there."

"We know, we're going now," said Kusanagi. He got to his feet and went for the door he threw it open and stormed down the hall.

Malachite, followed by Daniel and Zoicite were at his heels, Darien was the last to leave. As they left not one of them noticed that Mina was now staring straight into the camera.

Ami Ludmila stepped onto the red carpet that led to the entrance to the restaurant. Her short blackish bluish hair was held in place by diamond clips and her short blue dress was covered in silver patterns. A sapphire and diamond necklace adorned her neck and she had matching chandelier earrings.

She walked into the restaurant and walked to her reserved table where her cousin and her best friend were sitting at. Lita Draguta was a tall brunet, with emerald green eyes; her ankle length dress matched her eyes and her earrings and necklace were made from emeralds. Her hair was pulled into an up do and there was an emerald clip in it. She stood up when she saw Ami she pulled her into a hug and kissed her cheek.

Elisha was one of the few blondes in her family. She had golden blonde hair that shone in the light and brilliant green gray eyes. She wore a light pink dress that went to the floor and had slits up past the knee. She too hugged Ami and kissed her cheeks. Ami sat down across from both of them; she ordered a glass of water from the waitress when she came to their table.

Serena took Ami's order and walked into the kitchen, she gave the order to the chef and went out into the ally way. She saw Momiji in the building across the street and went back inside after she nodded her head slightly.

Momiji put on a pair of headphones and began to listen to the three vampire women's conversation. She telepathically thanked Hermione for placing in the just the right position, she could hear everything perfectly. Behind her the ashes of the dead vampire lay next to a cell phone.

Ami, Lita, Eisha's conversation.

"How is Zoicite Ami?" asked Elisha.

"Fine, how is Adam?"

"Wonderful and you Lita how is your man?" she asked.

"Nephrite is fine," Lita said, there was heavy pause. "How is Mina Ami?"

Ami was silent then after a few seconds spoke, "She's not faring well."

"I see" said Lita.

"On to better subjects," said Elisha cheerfully. "So are you ready for Christopher's visit?"

Momiji's eyes widened.

"When is he arriving?" asked Ami.

"Only a week now, he's coming to deal with the slayer problem," Elisha said with glee in her voice.

"They have become a problem, only the other night did they kill Bella, and last week Jeremy was murdered right in his own home," Lita said.

The three women began discussing the problem of the slayers, all the while they were completely oblivious to what was going on outside.

Darien, Daniel, Zoicite, Kusanagi and Malachite got out of a silver car that had just pulled up in front of the restaurant. They all stepped out and looked around.

"We have to get Ami out of here," Zoicite said.

"No wait, if they are going after her we can perhaps catch one and get some information from them," said Darien.

"You're going to use her as bait," yelled Zoicite.

"Just get in there and make sure that they don't attack her yet," Darien told him. He, Malachite and Daniel went into the restaurant and walked over to the table.

Kusanagi was searching the buildings around them, Darien walked up behind him.

"Well?" he asked, impatiently.

Kusanagi searched the windows and then saw a gleam from a window he smiled and spoke, "I found it I'll be right back." And he was gone with a gust of wind.

Darien went into the restaurant on his way in he passed the hostess, who had long brown hair. He glanced at her face, and walked past without taking notice of her.

Hermione, telepathically call to Momiji to take the shot now. Momiji was already lining it up perfectly Ami was distracted and talking to a blonde man. She had no clue what was about to hit her, and neither did Momiji. Right as she pulled the trigger something slammed into her and threw her to the ground.

The bullet whizzed past Ami's head. Elisha screamed and she and Lita dove to the floor. People began to run out of the restaurant panicking and screaming. Zoicite grabbed Ami's arm and dragged her to her feet. They began to walk towards the door, when Serena saw her chance.

She grabbed knife from the table next to her and threw it at the couple. It hit Zoicite. It was extremely near the heart but not close enough. He fell to his knees and Lita and Ami grabbed him. Serena's senses told her that she was being watched.

She turned her head and looked right into Darien's eyes, she started to back away, but seconds later he ran towards her and jumped on top of her. Their faces were so close that they could each feel the others breath. But for some reason Serena wasn't scared, she felt as if this was right.

Hermione came around the corner and saw Darien on top of Serena she pulled out her gun and pointed it at Darien's heart. Just when she was about to fire Daniel grabbed her arm and twisted it to the sky. The bullet went into the ceiling and Daniel's eyes stared into Hermione's. For a few seconds she didn't do anything, but then she kicked him in the balls. He dropped to the floor and she ran over to Darien and Serena.

She pointed the gun at the back of Darien's head, "Get off of her," she yelled.

Darien, who was staring at Serena, slowly began to get up, his eyes never leaving her face. Serena propped herself up on her elbows, then she got her feet. He got to his feet and slowly walked over to where his brother was standing staring at Hermione. Serena pulled a gun out of her waitress uniform and stood next to Hermione.

After a few seconds they turned and ran into the kitchen, Serena tore off the clothing she didn't need and left it on the floor. They reached the back ally way and got into the car that was parked there for them they had told Blake to drive it there for their getaway and fortunately for them he had. Serena started the car and tore off, right as Darien and Daniel ran into the ally.

After a few minutes when they were sure they were not being followed they got on to the free way. Hermione spoke first. "Who were they?"

"I don't know," said Serena her voice was trembling, "I don't know."

Meanwhile Momiji was lying under a very strong and angry vampire. "So you're the little slayer causing my brother all his problems," he said. He had her arms pinned above her head and her legs pinned with his legs.

"Yeah, I'm deadly" she said. Her eyes were filled with fire she hated being caught.

"I can tell" Kusanagi said. "So little slayer what's your name?"

"Persephone, queen of the underworld," Momiji said defiantly.

"I see, well little Persephone, why are you killing my kind?" asked Kusanagi.

"You're monsters, you kill people," Momiji said.

"But do you not do the same?" he asked.

"No, I kill evil things not innocent humans," she said.

"Humans are not the only innocent ones," he told her. He leaned down by her neck and felt her try to move away, he smelled her wonderful hair. "Tell me your name," he asked her "if you do I'll let you up". He knew instantly from the moments that he saw her he couldn't kill this angel of death, she was too beautiful.

"I can't trust you," she said.

"I give you my word." He lowered his mouth to her neck and let his tongue touch her skin.

"Means little to me," she said. Her breathing became heavy as his lips touched the skin of her neck.

"I give you my word as a gentle man," he told her.

Momiji closed her eyes as he sucked on her neck, she felt a heat start in her stomach and she knew that her body desired her but her mind detested him. "Momiji," she said breathlessly unable to resist him.

He smiled into her neck and kissed her neck one last time. Then he got up and stood over her, "See now I was truthful."

Momiji stared up at him, within seconds her mind was back. "Yes that you were," she said. She suddenly kicked his legs out from under him Momiji jumped to her feet and looked for a way out. When she saw none but the window she ran for it. She was almost to the window when Kusanagi was suddenly in front of her. She jumped directly into his arms and he held her tightly.

"That wasn't very noble," he said as he turned and pinned her up against the wall.

"I never said I was noble," she said. Her back touched the wall and her eyes widened. She was clueless as to how she was going to get out, she placed her hand in her pocket and she felt a vial.

"A woman in your position shouldn't play such tricks," he said to her. His lips were now very close to her own, all he had to do was lean forward and they would touch hers.

Momiji slowly began to unscrew the vials top in her pocket. She wrapped her fingers around it and readied herself.

Kusanagi began to lean forward to kiss her. Momiji threw the vials contents in his face, she heard it sizzle Momiji heard him yell out in pain and back away from her. She ran to the window, and did a head first dive out of it. She landed on a pile of garbage safely. She quickly ran to her car and started it; she pulled out of the dark ally and into the street. As she passed the restaurant Darien and Daniel walked out with Zoicite and Ami.

Momiji looked in the mirror at her neck. "Damn vampires," she said as she looked in to mirror at the building.

Kusanagi watched her drive away he touched his face, which was healing and smiled. "Tricky little slayer," he said to himself.
