Chapter 4

On the floor, Minako is seen shaking, no doubt enduring excrutiating amounts of pain. She screams out, her head feeling as if it were about to burst.

"Oh...Come on...You're stronger than this." Thought Minako to herself. "You've experienced the worst type of pain, and you've always pulled through...You can't just throw all that conviction away!"

Minako proceeds to start rolling, screaming out in agony once more.

"Oooohhhh..." Minako proceeds to moan. "I can't...give in...I just...can't!"

"You must feed..." Called out the voice once more. "It is the only way you will make the pain stop."

"No!" Minako uttered with determination.

"Like I said, you're going to feed, whether you want to or not." Said the voice again, rather calmly. "It's only a matter of time."

Minako screams out one more time.

"In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if you bit the next person that came through your doorway." Said the voice. "Hell, that one with the long strands of blond hair probably wouldn't mind it."

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Roared Minako with fury.

Outside, we see the other Senshi, now back in their civilian forms walking towards the doorway. They all proceed to hear her roar in anger, and proceed to book it towards the doorway.

"Minako, are you alright!?" Asked Artemis. His eyes widen in shock when he sees Minako thrashing violently across the household.

"Minako!" Yelled Usagi, she begins walking towards her.

"Don't get near me!" She proceeds to yell, once again crashing to the ground, her entire body pulsating in agony.

"Oh man, it's worse than we thought, the plague is taking it's toll on her this soon." Said Luna.

"AAAHHH!" Screamed Minako once more, her entire body convulsing violently.

"We've got to do something, I can't stand to see her in this much pain!" Said Usagi.

"Call an ambulance!" Said Makoto.

"Are you crazy!?" Asked Artemis. "We can't afford for her to leave the household, chances are she'll attack someone out of crazy bloodlust!"

"Well, what are we supposed to do, watch her suffer!?" Yelled Rei.

"HEEEEEELP! MEEEEEEE!" Yelled Minako again.

"WE'RE TRYING TO!" Everyone else proceeds to yell.

Minako's body proceeds to thrash in pain, rolling across the floor.

"Ami, you're smart! There's gotta be a way to make her pain stop!" Said Usagi.

"W-well...The only solution I can think of to stop it is to give her blood." Said Ami.

"DON'T YOU DARE!" Yelled Minako.

"Mina-chan!" Yelled Usagi.

"I can't drink blood...I don't want to...AAAHHH!" Screamed Minako in pain.

"Really now?" Asked the voice again. "Your friends are practically offering to stop your pain, and you reject them? You really are stubborn, aren't you?"

"You're bearing far too much pain. We can't stand to see you like this." Said Usagi.

"And I can't stand the thought of having to drink any of your blood! I'm not one of those monsters...I don't want to...AAAHHH!" Screamed Minako once more.

"OK, that's it." Said Rei, she proceeds to head into the kitchen, reaches into one of the drawers and takes out a knife.

"REI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Screamed Minako!

"Saving your life!" Yelled Rei, she proceeds to take out a small glass, and takes the knife to her arm. She slits it, and blood begins to ooze out slowly. Rei slightly gasps in pain, and proceeds to start to squeeze the wound, causing the blood to drip into the cup.

Minako proceeds to watch the blood slowly drip down from Rei's arm into the glass, and her eyes begin to glow red. She lets out a low hiss, as her eyes begin to turn black.

"R-Rei...I told you..." Minako said slowly, her voice now a lot more calm and cold then it was before.

"Mina...Mina-chan?" Asked Usagi.

"Out of my way!" Minako proceeds to yell, proceeding to grab Usagi and throwing her to the wall.

"AH!" Screamed Usagi in pain.

"Usagi!" Yelled Makoto.

"Minako, stop!" Yelled Artemis.

Minako proceeds to ignore him, and immediately rushes towards the kitchen. Rei proceeds to look up and gasps.

"Aaah..." Moaned Minako with what appeared to be anticipation. "I warned you Rei, now you're gonna pay the price!" She starts to charge towards her, only for Makoto to come up from behind and put her in a headlock.

"No you don't!" Makoto proceeds to utter, holding Minako in place. "Rei, bring the glass over here, now."

"LET ME GO!" Yelled Minako at the top of her lungs! "LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

"Hurry! I don't know if I can hold her for much longer!" Yelled Makoto.

"R-right." Said Rei. She slowly brings the glass over to Minako, her eyes glowing with anticipation. Her canines literally start to transform into fangs as the cup reaches towards her mouth.

"Hisss" Minako lets out a shrill hiss as she proceeds to put her lips into the cup, she begins to slurp the blood down. Rei raises the glass, causing all of it to go down Minako's mouth. Minako lets out a deep breath, the pain that was tormenting Minako proceeds to die down.

"There, better?" Asked Rei.

"Yeah...You...might want to cover that." Said Minako.

"R-right." Said Rei. She proceeds to storm past both Makoto and Minako.

"You can let go of me now." Said Minako.

"Alright." Said Makoto, proceeding to get Minako out of the headlock. Minako slowly gets back to the couch, and puts her head down.

"M-Mina-chan?" Asked Usagi concerningly.

"I'm fine...I...I'd like to be alone now." Said Minako.

"Are you sure?" Asked Usagi.

"Yes, please...all of you, leave." Said Minako.

"Are you going to be alright?" Asked Ami.

"I'm fine! Now leave me alone! All of you!" Said Minako, getting audibly annoyed at this point.

"Alright. Come on Rei, we're getting out of here." Said Makoto.

Rei proceeds to come out of the bathroom, her wound securely bandaged.

"I'm...sorry Minako...I just couldn't bear to see you in that much pain." Said Rei, sorrowfully.

"...I know." Said Minako. "Just...please..."

"Alright." Said Rei, she proceeds to make her way to the doorway, Usagi and Ami following behind. They proceed to shut the door. Artemis jumps up onto the couch with Minako.

"Minako..." Artemis began.

"You too Artemis." Said Minako.

Artemis' ears proceed to droop down, he jumps off the couch and heads into the bedroom.

"Hm hm hm hm, what did I tell you? See how much better you feel, this is your destiny." The voice calls out again.

"Shut up." Said Minako angrily.

"Hmph, whatever, my point is proven anyway. Hope to see you fully indulge in your new nature, "hero". Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The voice laughs, trailing off.

Minako proceeds to get up, and proceeds to head towards the kitchen. She picks up the glass that was once filled with blood. After a few seconds she proceeds to growl and throws the glass towards the wall.

Artemis hears a loud crash outside, and proceeds to sigh.

"I'm sorry this had to happen to you Minako...I really am." Thought Artemis to himself, sadly.

Comments: Aaaaand because Rei bloodletted this story now has an M rating, I probably should have given the story an M rating in the first place, but apparently I'm too dumb to have even thought that a story as dark as this could pass with a T. Oh well, I'm not complaining, I probably should have been more careful in the first place. So yeah, needless to say this was a messed up chapter, and will probably get even more messed up as time goes on. At least Minako is no longer in pain...for now. Anywho, thank you guys so much for reading this chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a comment and review, as I love to hear feedback from you guys, and I will see you all next chapter.
