Chapter 28: The Enemy Raises The Stakes

Everyone continued to laugh as Yosuke continued to fume. When the laughter died down, they continued their conversations of what they liked, what they did for fun, etc.

"So, I know Usagi told us about your battles, but she didn't specify how all nine of you met," Yuri wondered to Minako, curiosity sparkling in her eyes.

"Well, we met through our duty of being Sailor Senshi," Minako replied. "So I think it's best if you ask Ami, first."

Yuri turned to face the bluenette with a confused expression causing Ami to giggle. "I was the first of the Sailor Senshi Usagi and Luna found," she explained. "Aside from Mina starting out as Sailor V before any of us."

"Hontouni?" Yuri questioned.

"Yes," Ami replied. "It was when a group of students and myself, were being used and had our energy drained. Luckily, Usagi had figured something was off about the night seminar that I was attending and saved me and the other students."

"Are you sure this is the same Usagi from middle school that we're talking about?" Rei asked aloud before taking a sip of her tea.

"Believe it or not, it is," Luna confirmed, jumping up onto Setsuna's lap. "She had sensed something strange going on there but I believed Ami was with the Negaverse."

"Huh, so who was found next?" Hinagiku asked as she grabbed another strawberry from a bowl.

"That would be me," Rei responded, setting her cup of tea down on the table. "The Negaverse was kidnapping people not too far from my family shrine, so people soon came to me for help thinking with my "supernatural" senses could find them. But when I told them that my powers didn't work like that, they left but then rumors started going around saying that my family's shrine had something to do with the disappearances."

Yuri gasped slightly.

"But," Rei exhaled before she continued. "When they came back again to ask for help, I gave them the same answer. That's when they broke down and began to make more assumptions... but that's when Usagi intervened, saying that they shouldn't blame me or my family's shrine for what was happening and that they needed to leave me alone. Though not long after she left I had a vision of her being harassed by one of the Shitennou, a general who was once a guard for the past life of Prince Endymion, I raced out to warn her but unfortunately I was taken as well. But luckily for me, Usagi saw me on the bus and came after me."

"And she told me that she was a bit of a klutz and a crybaby," I stated, which was met with a smile from Usagi.

"She was," Luna added. "But she pushed through and rescued Rei and those that were kidnapped."

Momoko an I giggled a bit and then asked. "So who did you find next?"

"Me," Makoto stated. "I had just transferred to Juuban middle school when I met Usagi, though I guess saving her is more like it."

"What do you mean?" Scarlett asked, raising her brow slightly in curiosity.

"Well, she was spacing out and a car nearly ran her over but I was able to get to her in time. Any way, some of the students had heard some rumors saying that I was kicked out of my old school for picking fights, which by the way wasn't true, it didn't help that I know Martial Arts along with my amazon like height. So they all kept their distances... but even when Usagi heard about the rumors, she still approached me, though at first I thought she was a bit odd saying my lunch looked delicious being the first thing she said but as we began to talk, she complimented me on my cooking as well as my signature rose earrings, and she became my first friend at that school."

"Aw~, she really is sweet isn't she?" Yuri put in, clasping her hands together and smiled.

"Yes, she is," Ami smiled.

"So what did the Negaverse do when you came around?" Hinagiku asked, beginning to see a pattern.

"Well people had begun to disappear around a bridal shop by a so called "Ghost Bride", one of them being Usagi's friend Naru's cousin, and I fell victim as well. But Mamoru was near by and witnessed it so he left to get Usagi's help," Makoto explained.

"Wait, so why didn't Mamoru help out?" Momoko asked then glanced to Mamoru.

"I knew I couldn't beat the youma myself, so I went for Usako," he replied plainly.

"...Oh."

Scarlett glanced over to Minako. "So you were the last one they located?"

Minako nodded. "Yes, well the last one from the Inner Senshi, and it's more like I found them. We then met Setsuna when we went to the future, Haruka at the Crown Arcade along with Michiru, and then we met Hotaru through a friend."

"Huh, so are there any other Sailor Senshi?" Scarlett asked after taking a sip of her tea.

"Hai, there's the Starlight Senshi, you remember learning about the Senshi that were manipulated by Galaxia, and then there's-" but before she could finish, Minako was cut off by a bright flash of light that filled the whole room from the living room causing everyone to shield their eyes. As the light faded, everyone uncovered their eyes and were surprised at what or who they saw.

"W-w-what," Hinagiku grumbled as she rubbed her eyes. "What in the name of Aphrodite was that?"

"I don't-" Yuri mumbled, blinking her eyes so they can adjust.

"Chibi-Usa!" Hotaru squealed, cutting Yuri off.

"Hey, long time no see," Makoto greeted.

The Love Angels looked at their new friends in confusion, then noticed a young girl in the living room. "Who is she?" Scarlett asked in a cold, defensive tone.

"She's the other Senshi we were talking about," Setsuna answered. "Don't worry, she's our ally."

With that said, Scarlett relaxed a little. "So, she's a Senshi as well? How'd she get here?"

Before Setsuna could reply another flash of light lit up the room, indicating the newcomer powering down and young girl with bright pink hair, that was put up in a similar style to Usagi's, glomped onto Setsuna. "Puu!"

"Small Lady, it's good to see you," Setsuna greeted.

"It's good to see you guys too," the girl replied.

Scarlett cleared her throat and got everyone's attention. "I'm not trying to be rude, but who are you?"

A while after introductions were made, Chibi-Usa noticed someone was missing from this reunion. "Where's Usagi?" The room fell silent, everyone exchanging sad gazes, it was Rei who walked up to her and gently took her small hand and lead her over to where Usagi was sitting. At first Chibi-Usa was confused but when they approached Usagi, her eyes widened in shock and tears began to fill her eyes. "Mama!" she cried and crawled up next to Usagi and grasped her hand. "What happened?" she murmured.

My eyes began to tear up as well, she glanced up and noticed Hotaru glancing at her. She nodded and Hotaru nodded back in understanding and they both approached both of us.

"Chibi-Usa..." Hotaru murmured in a soft, comforting tone. Chibi-Usa glanced behind her in response. "This is Faith and Momoko, two new friends that Usagi made."

Chibi-Usa glanced over to Momoko and I, with Momoko and I giving her a reassuring smile, after I had wiped away my tears. As if sensing that we meant no harm and seeked to comfort her, Chibi-Usa lunged at Momoko and I, wrapping her arms around the two of us and began to cry harder. Momoko and I embraced the young girl and petted her head soothingly.
