I do not own the usual!
Enjoy this chapter I'm hoping to have the next chapter up soon.
Momiji was couldn't breathe her body was currently being crushed between two strong arms. "I….I…can't breathe," she gasped trying to get Blake to let go of her. Suddenly she was released and dropped back down onto her feet. She bent of cradling her stomach, "I think you broke a couple of my ribs." She straightened herself up and came face to face with Hermione. "Herm?" She asked noticing that Hermione's mood was different.
Hermione stared at Momiji for a few seconds then punched her right in the stomach. Momiji doubled over in pain and gasped for air once again. "What the hell now come on," Momiji said. She once again straightened up and looked at Hermione. There were tears in Hermione's eyes as she grabbed Momiji and pulled her into a soft yet strong hug.
"You're the worst friend anyone could have asked for you know that," said Hermione.
"What's going on?" Momiji asked confused at the actions of her family.
"I thought you were taken and that we were going to have to risk all of our lives to try and save you and you just come walking back in like nothing happened!" Hermione yelled. "Where have you been you idiot!"
"I was kidnapped," Momiji told her.
"Then how the hell are you here?" cried Hermione.
"Herm don't you think you're kind of overreacting here?" asked Momiji.
"No I do not think I am overreacting I thought I had lost two of my sister, you were both gone and I thought I was never going to see you again or I was going to find you bodies," said Hermione. "I think I am entitled to break down and cry when things like this happen!"
Serena said nothing as she stared at the scene before her. Hermione had been completely composed on the drive back and even when they had walked into the house. But when Momiji walked into the room Hermione's aura had changed and Serena knew that she was about to get emotional.
"Hermione I'm fine there's nothing wrong with me you're not about to lose me that easily," said Momiji.
"Where have you been for the last week!" she yelled. "We track down your car and see the parking lot all busted up all we were thinking was that you had been kidnapped by some crazy vampire who wanted revenge."
"Well I was kidnapped but not by a vamp that wanted revenge," Momiji told her.
"What do you mean?" asked Sarah, "Why else would a vampire take you hostage."
"For the same reasons I was taken hostage," Serena said from her place on top of the counter. Sarah looked at Momiji then at Serena with a confused stare. Blake said nothing as he waited for the explanation, and Hermione just stared at Serena. "Endymion and Kusanagi are convinced that Momiji and I are their mates," said Serena.
Sarah stared at Serena and then at Momiji a look of surprise and astonishment on her face. "And what has brought them to this conclusion?"
"When we fought them a few weeks ago back at the restaurant, when you sent us to kill Ami Ludmila, I got attacked by Endymion in the restaurant and Momiji…."
"I was confronted by Endymion's younger brother Kusanagi," Momiji said cutting Serena off. "When I went out that night I ran into Christopher, one of the vampires warlocks, we fought and he almost killed me," Momiji explained. "I was just barely saved by Kusanagi."
The entire kitchen was silent then Sarah spoke, "You're telling me a vampire saved your life from one of his own?" Momiji nodded, "What the hell is going on!" Sarah yelled. "You both have gotten yourselves into a dangerous game, if these two are convinced that your mates they are not going to stop looking for you until they find you."
"Kusanagi won't be looking for me, he willingly let me go," Momiji said carefully.
Sarah stared at her then turned to Serena, "And you Serena did Endymion 'Willingly' let you go as well?"
"Not exactly," said Serena "I had to escape."
"Well Kusanagi may not be looking for you Momiji but from what our profile says about Endymion is that he will come looking for Serena," Sarah said.
"What are you saying Sarah?" asked Blake.
Sarah let out a sigh, "Look I'm glad that you two are back safe but the reality of the situation is you've managed to piss off two very powerful and influential vampire royals. I don't know if come back here was the safest thing to do."
Momiji, Hermione, and Serena all looked at each other then at Sarah. "Are you saying we should leave?" asked Serena.
"I'm saying that we need to think of the protection of the girls living here," Sarah said. "I think it may be best if you were to take a little time away from the house until everything calms down."
Again the room was silent and even Blake stared at Sarah with a stunned look. "Wait a second you mean to tell me that you're going to kick us out of the only home we have known since we were kids," yelled Momiji.
"Its for the safety of everyone else Momiji, you and Serena pose a threat to us now…."
"What threat!" Yelled Momiji.
"What if they follow you? What if they send someone to get you back? What do you think will happen once they find this place?" Sarah yelled.
Hermione suddenly remembered her dream. She remembered all the girls in the house running for their lives as fire burned down the house around them.
Momiji began to argue with Sarah again. "You cant just…"
"Maybe it would be a good Idea to get away from here," said Hermione cutting off Momiji. Momiji, Sarah, Serena, and Blake stared at Hermione with stunned looks. "I mean Sarah has a point if they were to come looking for you living here would just bring more trouble. Getting away until things settle down seems like a good idea."
"Are you insane this is our home!" Momiji yelled.
"No one is saying that you have to leave forever Momiji, we're just saying leaving on a temporary basis until this situation is taken care of maybe a good idea," Hermione said.
"Lets all vote on it," said Blake. Everyone turned to him. "Majority rules, if Sarah wins you two…"
"Us three," Hermione interrupted, "If they go I go too."
Blake nodded, "You three will move into the city, if Momiji wins you stay here and we deal with the situation, agreed." Everyone nodded, "Alright who agrees with Momiji?"
Momiji and Blake raised their hands into the air. "Seriously!" Momiji yelled as she saw that Serena was siding with Hermione and Sarah.
"We don't even need to do another count," Sarah said knowing that she had won. Momiji stood in the corner fuming. "Look I don't like this either Momiji."
"You're the one who suggested it!" she yelled.
"I know but having our three most powerful slayers gone is going to put a strain on our defenses but having you here would put us all at risk," she said.
Momiji stuck her tongue into the side of her cheek and shook her head. "Whatever when do you want us out?"
"Tomorrow we can start moving your things into the city house," Sarah said.
"Fine," Momiji said, she turned and then stormed upstairs.
Blake, Serena, Hermione, and Sarah remained in the kitchen silent. "Well this is great to come home to," said Serena as she hopped off the counter and left the kitchen.
Darien's rage was radiating throughout the entire house. Everyone could feel it and everyone was intelligently staying out of his way while he rampaged. A small group of people sat nervously in the western sitting room of the mansion hoping the Endymion would stay on the other side of the house until he calmed down.
Ami sipped her tea trying to block out Darien's thunderous emotions. "I don't think any of us are going to get any sleep today," she said as she noticed the dawn poking through the curtains.
"Yeah I'm thinking the same thing," Lita said rubbing her temples from the migraine that was forming.
"Well it could be worse," said Rei. She sat leaning her head on her hand and her elbow on the chair.
"And how could it be worse?" Nephrite asked.
"Well he could be on this side of the house," said shrugging.
"You're looking better though Rei have you been eating more?" asked Ami as she again sipped her tea.
"Yeah Jadeite's been forcing me to eat," she said looking over at her lover, who was sitting in a large chair by the window.
"Well it's doing you good," said Ami.
The door opened suddenly and everyone in the room held their breath hoping that it wasn't Darien. Kusanagi surveyed the room and smiled. "Well looks like this is a fun little party," he said.
"Join us it's a blast" said Rei sarcastically.
"When did you get back Kusanagi?" asked Zoicite.
"Just now I came from Los Angeles," he said as he walked over and sat down next to Rei. "I was detained for a while."
"Where is she Kusanagi!" yelled a voice from the door. Everyone turned to see Darien standing there glaring at his brother.
"Who are you talking about?" Kusanagi asked.
"Your slayer I know you've been with her this past week now where is she I want to question here about Serena's whereabouts," said Darien.
"Sorry Darien but your too late Momiji escaped from me early this morning," said Kusanagi nonchalantly.
"I don't believe you," Darien yelled.
"Why else do you think I'm here? If Momiji was with me I wouldn't have left bed for this place," he said.
"Bed huh?" said Lita with a smile.
Kusanagi gave her a look, "I don't have anything to say to you."
"That's fine I already know that you can't deny it," she said with a smile.
"Nephrite perhaps you should keep your wife stimulated so she doesn't have to go and imagine perverse fantasies," said Kusanagi.
"Oh don't be such a prude Kusanagi," Lita joked.
"Stop!" Darien commanded. "Kusanagi where is your slayer?"
"I don't know like I told you she escaped from me this morning," he said.
"Forgive me if I don't completely believe you but the report from Christopher said that you were acting strange around her," said Darien.
"Say nothing to me about acting strange Darien I seem to remember that when it came to your slayer you almost attacked family to protect her," Kusanagi said calmly.
"That is irrelevant," Darien said.
"Your right what is relevant is that they are both gone and they both now have extensive knowledge of this house as well as who is living in it," Rei said. "We need to move if your slayer's gotten back to her people then we could all be in trouble staying here."
"Rei is right," said Daniel from behind Darien. "We should go back to Los Angeles."
"Why back to Los Angeles? Why not go overseas lets go see mama and papa," said Rei.
"No Mina's not healthy enough to move yet and I'm not going anywhere," said Ami.
"Why not? Getting Mina out of the city maybe the best thing for her," said Rei.
"No the virus originated in this area if we are going to find a cure for it then our best shot is to remain in the area," argued Ami.
"Rei why don't you and Jadeite go with Lita and see mama and papa?" said Kusanagi. "It would be a wonderful change in the scenery and a good way to relax."
"I have no objections but I don't want to be gone for a long time especially with Mina in her state," Lita said.
"It won't be long only a few weeks and if Mina gets any worse we'll come right back that moment," said Rei.
"Rei why are you so anxious to stay out of Los Angeles?" asked Zoicite.
"The spice trade is at its highest there, at least in Spain its harder to get it, I don't want to have another relapse and I think that if I'm closer to mama and papa it will keep me in check," she said.
"I think going to Spain will be good for Rei," Kusanagi said. "And I agree being around mama and papa will keep you in check."
"Alright then we'll leave tonight," said Lita standing. "Darien I know you are upset but can you take something and calm down because unless you do no one in this house will be able to sleep." Darien said nothing just glared at her. Lita shrugged and started to the door followed by Nephrite.
"I think I'm going to head back to see Mina," said Ami. "Zoicite are you going to stay here?"
"No I'll go with you there's no need for us to stay here we can go and check on Malachite and Mina," he said.
"Well then Rei have a wonderful time in Spain, relax a little, and say hello to your parents for me in the most respectable way possible," Ami said. She went to Rei and pulled her into a hug, "You and Ambrose you're strong you'll beat this and then you'll come back here and help Mina do the same."
Rei gave her a friendly smile, "Yes take care of her while we are gone."
"I will," Ami told her she hugged her once more and then walked out of the room. Zoicite followed, but before leaving the room her turned and bowed to the Royal family, then he disappeared.
"Alright now where have you been Daniel?" asked Rei.
"Nowhere I've been doing research," he said calmly as he sat down on the couch opposite Rei and Kusanagi.
"Where have you been doing said research?" Rei asked.
"I've been to a few libraries in the area so what of it?" he asked.
"What is going on I haven't seen either of you and you're both bring extremely secretive," Rei said looking at Kusanagi and then at Daniel.
"Rei this is a very sensitive time," said Kusanagi. "We are trying to figure things out so why don't you stop with the inquisition and just go on vacation."
Rei glared at him then without a word she stood and walked out of the room.
"She doesn't like when you keep her out of the loop," said Jadeite.
"I understand that but our business doesn't always concern her," said Kusanagi. "She needs to understand that we're not going to divulge all our secrets to her."
"She just wants to be included," Jadeite told them.
"She'll be included when it's safe," Darien said.
"Well as long as you can live with that then I guess I have nothing else to say on the subject," Jadeite said as he too stood and followed Rei.
Darien sat down next to Kusanagi still fuming at the fact that Serena had escaped. "Where have you been Daniel?"
"I've been around," he said innocently. "I've been doing research on the three slayers that we've encountered."
"What did you find out?" Darien asked.
"Well all that I was able to dig up was from their child hood but get this one of the slayers is related to someone close to us," Daniel said.
"Who? And how close?" asked Darien.
"Close enough that they live in this house," said Daniel pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket. He unfolded it and handed it to Darien. It was a picture of two young children. Darien was silent for a while and then looked up at Daniel.
"Is the slayer aware of this?" he asked.
Daniel shook his head, Darien handed the piece of paper to Kusanagi. Kusanagi studied the picture and smiled. "Well this is quite interesting."
