Disclaimer: Forgot the first 2 chapters but, I do not own Sailor Moon. The characters and storyline are mine though.

Please review. I ask that no one gets crappy and mean, but do want your thoughts and opinions on how I am doing. Enjoy!

Chapter 3-Unexpected Consequences

Mamoru froze.

"Her… Usako what do you mean?"

Usagi was curled in a ball on the bed, her hands clenched above her heart.

"I don't know, but it feels so real. It's as if they are my feelings."

"I feel like I know her. She's so angry. Mamo-chan what's happening to me?" Tears had started to stream down her face.

"I don't know Usa, but we will find out. I promise." Mamoru had pulled her into his arms and was rocking her, helping her to calm down.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I don't feel her anymore. I think whatever connected us closed."

"Ok, you rest. I'm going to call the girls."

"NO...w…wait for a little bit please." Her big blue eyes looked into her and he saw her fear. "Just until I fall asleep?"

"Anything for you love." He lay on his side and pulled her into his arms and held her, watching as fell asleep, the peaceful look returning to her small face.

He stayed with her for a while after she fell asleep, not wanting to get up in fear of whoever, or whatever, would come back to torment Usagi more.

Realizing that he needed to call the girls, he slowly got out of bed and grabbed Usagi's communicator. He decided to call Rei first, hoping maybe the fire had already shown her something and have some answers for him. It seemed like an eternity had passed before Rei answered.

"USAGI, do you have any idea what time it is? This better be important or I swe…Mamoru-san? What's wrong?"

"I don't know for sure. Usagi woke up screaming, saying she could feel someone. She felt her pain and anger. I want you to call the rest of the inners and get over here. I had hoped maybe you had seen something within the fire, but I'm guessing not."

"No, but I will see if there is anything before I head over. Don't worry, I'll continue the chain and we'll be over to figure all this out."

"Thanks Rei."

"Don't worry. You go check on Usagi and I'll be there soon."

Mamoru stood up and went out to the balcony. He looked up at the moon. It seems to be so bright tonight, it's so beautiful. Mamoru sighed. I won't let anything hurt you Usako, I promise. I will keep you safe.

He turned and headed back into the apartment. He went t check on Usagi and then went to make some coffee. He knew he wasn't going back to sleep tonight.

Haruka jumped up, suddenly awake. Her hand was balled in a fist pressed against her chest, as if trying to keep something in. She was sweaty some of her hair matted to her head. She was breathing hard, trying to calm herself down.

She reached into her nightstand drawer hoping she was wrong.

"NO!" She screamed, waking Michiru.

She yanked the drawer out, dumping the contents on the floor. She searched frantically, but to no avail.

"No, no, no. This isn't real! It was a dream!" She all but screamed into the air.

"What is it?" Michiru asked, still laying in bed, but her green eyes wide.

"It's gone! It wasn't a dream."

"What's gone? Tell me what's going on? Haruka…?"

Haruka had sat on the bed, her head in her hands. Her shoulders began to shake. Michiru moved to sit beside her, taking her chin in her hand, gently lifted Haruka's face to meet hers. She saw the tears rolling down her cheek.

"She took my sword. She said as my punishment I am no longer the senshi of Uranus. She told me I failed that...that I betrayed her." Haruka looked down at the floor the contents of her drawer still on the floor.

"My transformation pin is gone. I can't transform. I have failed."

"Oh my Kami!"

Minako made her way through the park, heading to Mamoru's. She tried telling herself that it wasn't anything bad, but she knew they wouldn't have called the meeting if something wasn't wrong. She was lost in her thoughts; she didn't notice a young woman in the tree above her.

"Hello, Venus. It's been a long time." A voice from above called down startling Minako. She looked up and saw someone in the tree above her, but couldn't make out her features.

"You have mistaken me for someone else. My name is Minako."

"That may be your name here, but I know who you really are, Princess of the planet Venus, Sailor Senshi to the Princess of the Moon, Serenity."

"Who are you? What do you want?" Minako asked angrily.

"You'll know soon." The woman stated as she jumped from the tree. "Don't be afraid, this won't hurt." The woman smiled and raised her arm, a crystal in her hand.

"Who..," was all Minako was able to get out before she disappeared into the shining stone.

"Soon I'll have you all. There is no way to escape. I won't let it happen again. I won't lose all I love again." The woman looked up at the moon, savoring the feel of it on her skin. Soon there would be no more battles. She would make this world peaceful once more.

"Always and forever, together." She whispered as walked away into the night.

"If it isn't Usagi then it's Minako. Ugh, I say let's just go inside, she doesn't know we were meeting out here anyway." Said Rei.

"I agree we've waited out here long enough." Makoto replied.

Suddenly their communicators started going off. The three inners answered at the same time.

"Hotaru?" Ami asked.

"Yes, sorry to call so late, but there is a problem with Haruka. She can't transform anymore. We need a meeting. Now." Hotaru's voice came through.

Ami looked at the two girls in front of her. We are already at Mamoru's place. Something happened with Usagi. Meet us here." Ami told the young girl.

"Ok we'll be there in a few. We'll bring Setsuna with us."

The girls walked in the apartment building not knowing that two of their own were missing. All that they believed was about to change.
