Betrayal of the heart
Chapter thirty-six: An enemy? An ally? The Star Lights and the Sailor Senshi
In the library, Usagi was writing a letter to Kenji. It had been two months since he had gone to America, and none of the family had recieved any replies from him. Usagi was starting to get worried, but she didn't want the other scouts to worry, so she had asked Demando and Serenity not to say anything.
"Hey Usagi" Usagi turned around and gasped. Michiru and Haruka were standing behind her. She hadn't seen them in years. She had seen Setsuna around, but the other two senshi hadn't reappeared after the skirmish with Mistress Nine.
"Hotaru told us about Kenji studying abroad" Haruka said. "How is he?" Usagi looked down, She knew she couldn't tell them, especially since the others didn't know.
"Ok" She whispered. "I have to go" She stood up abruptly and left the library, tears in her eyes.
"That was odd" Haruka remarked. Michiru simply nodded.
The three lights were in their room rehearsing.
"Silver Moon reminds me of the princess" Seiya said quietly.
"Don't say that" Taiki snapped. "She could be an enemy"
Makoto and Usagi were in a strawberry garden. Usagi and Makoto were picking strawberries, because Makoto was going to make a strawberry cake for everyone. Then Makoto noticed someone else in the green house.
In the next room, Taiki was looking at the roses.
"Silver Moon, who is she? She doesn't know anything about the real fight. She doesn't know what we went through to get here" He said to himself. He scrunched the rose tightly in his hand and jumped in surprise as the two women entered the room.
"Ah, Taiki Kou" Makoto said knowingly. "What is a young idol like yourself, doing here?"
"Thinking" Taiki replied, bowing to the women. "If you'll excuse me..." He turned to leave, but Usagi stopped him.
"Your bleeding" She commented, grabbing his hand. He tried to pull away, but she fussed over him like a mother hen and bandaged his hand with a handkerchief.
"Thank you" Taiki replied. He turned and left the green house.
Meanwhile, Nezu was in a park. She didn't feel like working, and she was looking at a magazine. She spotted a cooking expert, Yoshinokawa Tetsurou, in the magazine. Nezu chose him as her next target.
Then Nezu got a call telling her that Galaxia was calling for her. Nezu went up to see Galaxia.
"Do you have the star seed yet?" Galaxia asked.
"No Galaxia-sama, but I have chosen my next target" Nezu said, bowing. Galaxia blasted Nezu backwards.
"I don't like long waits" She reminded Nezu. Nezu nodded and scurried away.
Soiya, Hotaru and Aya were at Serenity's house. They turned on the TV to watch Yoshinokawa Tetsurou's cooking program. They saw Taiki on TV. He was supposed to help Tetsurou cook a short cake.
"Go Taiki" Soiya cheered. They watched as Taiki made the short cake, but Serenity noticed something in the corner. Someone was lurking about the studio. She pointed it out to her friends, and they rushed to the studio.
After the broadcast, the four girls were searching the studio, when they heard Yoshinokawa's screams. the quickly transformed.
Sailor Iron Mouse got the star seed, but it wasn't the real one. Then Yoshinokawa turned into Sailor Chef, and Sailor Galaxial Jupiter used the Galactic Oak Evolution attack against Sailor Chef, but it didn't faze him. Celestial Venus and Silver Moon blasted him with a combined attack and he fell backward into a wall.
The girls didn't realize that the starlights were watching them, instead of jumping in this time.
"Silver Moon Healing Power!" Silver Moon cried and Sailor Chef turned back into Tetsurou. After they helped the chef to his feet and he had thanked him, he left. Silver Moon leaned against the wall.
Who is this enemy?' She asked aloud.
"I don't know" Celestial Venus said. "They seem worse than the death busters"
"Well, remember, the death busters was like, 18 years ago" Galaxial Jupiter said.
"Not for us" Silver Moon sighed. "We only recently returned from the past and now we have a new enemy. We'll never be able to live normal lives" She clenched her fists. "The death busters killed my father, I never even knew him, but I'll be damned if this enemy hurts anyone I..." She paused. "Care about" She finished. The wheels were turning in her head. what if the enemy had gotten to Kenji and that's why he hadn't written to family. She hoped that wasn't the case. She smiled brightly. "Let's go home" After they were gone, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten came out of their hiding place.
"They aren't enemies" Seiya said softly. "They are just trying to protect this planet"
"Maybe you're right" Taiki said. "but can we trust them?"
"we may not have a choice" Yaten said. "we have to trust them, for them to trust us. This is their turf, not ours"
Later everyone was at the arcade, in the secret room that hadn't been used in years.
"What are you going to do about the new enemy?" Motoki asked. He hated thinking of his wife and daughter in danger.
"We have to beat the enemy" Usagi said firmly. "It's time Demando. We need everyone, the generals, Safir and Oparla. Everyone must be on their guard, in case someone is attacked in your area. We will defeat the enemy and we will do it together"
"Usagi is right. Motoki, I want you to have your cell phone with you at all times, in case you're in trouble" Makoto told her husband.
"What about the starlights?" Hotaru asked.
"I do not believe they are enemies" Usagi said firmly. "But I also don't think they're from this planet. They have an aura that is not of earth"
In a different place, Michiru and Haruka were together.
"Another wave is coming" Michiru stated.
"It's a bigger wave than what we have seen" Haruka acknowledged.
"Is our fighting ever going to end?" Michiru asked sadly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you" Haruka replied, taking her hand.
