VI

Duo and Quatre had taken different turns almost immediately. What caused the split? Why, some very beautiful women heading into the clubbing district, of course. With a sly grin he had waved good bye to Quatre and said hell-o to dinner.

He liked to think of it as painting the town red.

Having gotten that out of the way, he had opted to take a stroll down main street. It was fun watching the humans do all the things they did. They laughed and they talked and they fought and they cried, and they knew thought about anything more than their own existences. He pitied them. At the same time, he envied them, for he knew that there were bigger things to the Universe than if Johnny would ask Alyssa to the prom.

He scowled at the sky as thunder echoed between the tall buildings. Wetness. That which tended to put a damper on funness. He looked around for some place to go to stay dry. His eyes lit upon the local gym. They had a pool there, didn't they? He was already being drenched by the rain, so why not stay wet on purpose? He shrugged and headed boldly across the slick streets and into the gym.

"Are you a member, sir?" the woman at the counter asked.

"I am now, sweet-cheeks," he purred, making her blush. Shyly, she signed him up, sold him a pair of swim trunks and directed him to the back. "Thanks, babe," he winked, making her blush again, and left.

He didn't take long to change in the locker room, but he did spend several minutes checking his figure in the mirrors. "Hm," he struck a pose. "Could do with a little work for that chiseled effect, I guess, but damn I am sexy," he grinned at himself and then grabbed a towel and headed for the water.

He rolled his eyes when he saw who was in the water before him. Two people streaked across the pool, racing one another. A third person, totally dry, and tall with short blond hair, watched them and seemed to be holding a stopwatch. Duo decided to ignore them. He knew about people like them. They worked their asses off just to compete in some sports event or other, thinking that that somehow proved them worthy. Worthy of what? Not even they themselves knew that most times. He plunged in.

He resurfaced and happily pushed his long and unruly bangs out of his face. Damn, that felt good. He floated in the cool water for a few minutes, trying to ignore the splashing on the other side of the pool.

"Tie!"

"What!?"

"Again!?"

"Amara are you sure?"

"The odds of this happening are nearly impossible! Amara, may I see your stopwatch?"

Amara chuckled and took a step back from the edge so her shoes wouldn't get wet. "I swear, I didn't touch it. It's really scary actually- your hands came out of the water at the exact same time! Face it- you're a dead match for each other."

The two blue-haired young women looked at each other.

"I suppose it's possible," the obviously younger one with much shorter true-blue hair and eyes murmured.

That aqua haired woman smiled. "We'll try again another time, hm, Ami?"

"Yes, I suppose so," Ami nodded.

Amara reached out a hand to help her soul mate out of the water. "Ready to go home, Michelle?"

"Yes, I think so. Do you want a ride, Ami?" Michelle turned her aqua gaze on the younger girl.

"No, that's alright," Ami smiled. "I think I'll stay and just relax for a little while. See you next week."

"Bye," they both waved and left.

Ami started to let go of the wall and just swim lazily, but she turned when a new voice startled her. "You come here often?"

"Uh, sort of," Ami blinked. A guy with long hair pulled back into a braid and cobalt blue eyes was staring at her. "I just come to swim."

"Really. It's my first time here," Duo said casually. His interest had piqued. She was pretty. Maybe Wufei wasn't such a fool after all.

"Oh, really?" Ami suddenly felt uncomfortable. Who was this guy anyway? She pretended to check her water-proof watch. "Wow, I didn't realize it was so late."

"What's your rush?" he shrugged. "The night is young."

"Well so am I," she said, pulling herself up onto the side. "I have homework to do. Sorry to have to leave so soon. It was nice meeting you," she said politely, not meaning it at all.

"Hey, wait," he swam quickly to the far side of the pool near the women's locker room. "My name's Duo."

"Ami," she nodded. 'Go!' her brain screamed. 'Leave!' She stared at him for a moment though. Longer than she should have really. Abruptly she turned to go. 'What am I thinking?' she shook her head as soon as the door had closed behind her.

Duo certainly knew what HE was thinking.

~~~%*%~~~

She had started out walking quickly, reflecting her heated temper. Her mother made her so angry sometimes! No matter what Mina did, it was never right! Never what SHE wanted. Well too damn bad. She wasn't a puppet to be made to dance to someone else's tune.

As she approached the park, her anger started to drift away and she slowed down, taking the time to appreciate the beauty of what was around her. The moon was low on the horizon, but still it made the wet trees and flowers shine. She slowed into an easy stroll and wandered the park for quite some time. Some might call it dangerous, but those people weren't soldiers of justice who had saved the universe a handful of times all before entering high school. Besides, she knew enough about fencing to use her umbrella if she had to.

Fencing… it had become such a passion for her. She could release her frustration in each thrust and lunge, and it taught her control. Yes, she had to say that the foil back home in her closet was one of her best friends. She had a relationship more of respect with the blade she had been given on the Moon however.



The destroyed Moon Palace was silent as it had been for the last one thousand years. The senshi wandered through the ruins until they came to an open expanse of floor.

"What's that?" Bunny peered at something stuck in the stone.

"Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus… pull the sword out…" Luna ordered.

"What?" Lita protested.

"It's petrified!" Ami tried to say.

"It's impossible! We can't get it out, Luna!" Lita groaned as she Ami and Mina tried their hardest to pull the sword free of the ancient stone.

"Use all your strength! I know you can do it!"

The other two moved away to get a better grip. Mina got there first. She wrapped her hands around the hilt, feeling a connection form. She pulled.

FLASH

"A stone sword!?" she stared at the sword in her hands. It was a masterpiece. And it emanated with power. Power that seemed more like an extension of herself than anything else.

Light gathered off to the side and they all turned to stare as a hologram formed. "That is the legendary sword that protects the Princess… I am the former Queen of the Silver Millennium, Serenity."



(AN: The above is a direct interpretation of the SM manga #3 put out by Mixx. They're good- go read 'em.)

She still had that sword, though she had almost never used it. None of the others seemed to want it, perhaps they had forgotten it's existence. Mina hadn't.

The wind started to pick up and the trees rustled, blocking out all the sounds of the city. Mina looked up, sense going on alert. Something was odd here. Was it darker suddenly? The Moon was setting, yes- and it was still cloudy. Perhaps it had moved behind the last of the rain clouds.

She was at the back of the park now. She looked down and realized she had wandered off the footpath and into the trees ages ago. 'Damn', she thought. Never a good sign. Chittering made her look up again and several squirrels streaked across the grass to run past her and into the rest of the park. She shifted without thinking into battle mode, her feet seeking the best ready position and her eyes searching the area for anything off-beat. 'Youma', she thought.

The wind died down, but all was too quiet now. The sounds of the forest animals were gone. She warily stayed alert and still, waiting for any sound. The call of some beast made her smile though. She would indeed have the chance for some action tonight.

Growling made her turn sharply. With a small shriek she fell to the ground as something huge knocked into her from behind. She rolled out from under it and leapt to her feet, pulling the umbrella's handle apart to reveal a simple sword. She blinked as she was growled at again. "A wolf?"

The wolf snarled at her. Invading his territory… Thought she was a squirrel. Damn her. Why wasn't she running away?

Mina became acutely aware of the gashes that had been made in her raincoat. Damn, those scratches stung. Since when did they get wolves around here? She tried to stare the beast down.

Stare? A challenge? Two words formed in his mind and his deep blue eyes glittered dangerously from his furry face. 'You're on'.

Mina leapt backwards as the wolf jumped at her, its' jaws reaching for her throat. She gasped and smacked it away with the side of the blade. It dropped to the ground and snarling, reached out for her legs with it's sharp claws. She danced backwards and readied the blade between her and it. It ran straight at it- she was ready for it- then suddenly turned to run behind her and leap at her back again. With a cry, girl and wolf went down. 'What the Hell!? No normal animal does this!!' Her brain protested as she fought to get free of the sharp claws and biting jaws. (AN: Shut up.) In one swift movement, she miraculously turned and rammed the handle of her umbrella turned sword onto his head. Everything stopped. She didn't even dare to breathe. Slowly, the wolf's eyes swam and it collapsed on top of her, unconscious.

With a shuddering moan she pushed herself away from it. She shakily pulled herself back to her feet with the help of a tree. Her head swam and she realized what a bloody mess she had become. "Shit…" she muttered. The scene was covered in blood and fur and a few pieces of her long golden hair. She looked like something the cat had dragged in, but how could she possibly explain to anyone that she had been walking through the woods at nearly ten o clock at night with an umbrella that turned into a sword when a giant, tawny wolf had leapt out and attacked her?

The half-light that had lit the area disappeared completely. The Moon had set.

A wimper from the wolf put the exhausted Mina on her guard again. She didn't want to fight a wolf. Wolves were just animals, they didn't have evil intentions the way monsters did. She didn't want to fight him- She stared in disbelief an her sword dropped uselessly to her side.

White light surrounded the body of the wolf. He twitched a few times as it swirled around him, then a breeze kicked up and started to blow the light away. Mina watched on in awe as it's body changed. Larger, less fur, what remained became longer and darker. It's limbs lengthened and it's tail disappeared. Her heart thudded as the light left the clearing, leaving them in almost total darkness. 'A werewolf,' she thought, terrified. She had been attacked by a werewolf.
