Chapter 4

Vegeta darted down the stairs and ran into the bedroom, grabbing a sheet, and then ran into the kitchen turning the light off. He hid next to the refrigerator and waited for Usagi to enter the room.

"Oh Vegeta." She coed sweetly. "Come out and play."

Vegeta stayed hidden next to the refrigerator waiting for Usagi to get to just the right spot. He thought, jumping out from behind the refrigerator. He jumped in front of her and threw the sheet over her head. He knocked her to the ground and jumped on her, pinning her shoulders to the ground. She fought, but he weighed more than her and she remained pinned to the floor.

"Let me go!" She cried, fighting with all her might to get him off. "Get off of me!"

"Usagi!" He yelled, trying to get her attention. She kept on thrashing about, trying to get away. He grabbed her face in one hand and forced her to look into his eyes. "Usagi, listen to me." He said calmly. "You have got to calm down. Get control, and then I'll let you go."

Usagi looked deep into his eyes and something snapped. She felt the power fade, she was so tired. "Vegeta, I... I'm sorry." She whispered before losing consciousness.

Vegeta picked her up, holding her body close to his. He was beat up pretty bad. Blood poured from a cut on his forehead. Usagi wasn't all that great herself. She was covered in his blood and her own. He took her into the bathroom and turned on the water. He laid her on the floor and made sure the water wasn't too hot. He knelt by her side and held her in his arms. He felt so close. He had never felt this way before. Why was he feeling like this. It was because he didn't have to act tough when she was around. She could see right through all of that. She knew how he really was.

When the bathtub was full, he reluctantly undressed her. He felt really embarrassed for some reason. He didn't feel right undressing this girl. The tank top she wore was torn and so were her shorts. He tossed them in the trash can by the door and put her in the bath tub. He looked at her unconscious form and felt a rush of warmth as he washed her slender body. She looked so peaceful even with the blood streaking down her face. He gently washed the blood from her face and kissed her on the forehead where the crescent moon was. It hadn't gone away after she had gone Super Saiyan. It was still there, her hair had returned to it's golden blond though.

"You are so beautiful." He said quietly, kissing her lips. The feeling of warmth inside of him only grew. It didn't get any less, he knew that they would always be together.

Usagi walked through the door to her apartment. What happened? She thought, looking

around the room. It was trashed. Everything was broken and laying in heaps on the floor. She ran out the door and down to the street below. There was a man down there wearing a trench coat, hat, and dark glasses.

"Hey come back here!" She yelled when the man started to run in the opposite direction. He didn't slow the slightest bit. He just ran faster and faster. "Stop!" he didn't even look back. He ran into the park, Usagi followed close behind. "Come back here!" She cried. All of a sudden, he stopped and tore the trench coat, hat, and glasses off. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. Usagi searched for him, he was gone. She started to walk home, but something didn't feel right. Where were her friends? Why weren't they there?

Usagi ran towards Rei's temple where they always used to meet when something was going on. There was no one there, the windows were dark and the doors were closed. She went from one person's apartment to the other searching for them, then she heard someone talking.

"Did you hear what happened?" A young girl asked her friend.

"What?" The other girl asked.

"The Sailor Scouts were kidnapped. I saw it on the news. I can't believe it, and people said that Sailor Moon wasn't even there. Can you believe it? The leader of the Sailor Scouts abandoned them?" The girl said.

"That's the most awful thing a friend can possibly do. What'll happen now that they aren't here to protect us?" The girl asked her friend.

"I don't know. It can't be that bad though. It's probably a hoax anyway." The girl said. "Hey! You want to get some ice cream?"

"Yeah! Let's go!" And with that the two girls ran off to get their ice cream.

It's impossible! The Sailor Scouts can't have been captured! I wasn't gone that long! Usagi thought. 'that's the worst thing a friend can possibly do', the girl's voice rang in Usagi's head as she ran through town looking for clues as to where her friends had been taken.

Just then, an illusion appeared in the sky. It was a man. He looked familiar to her. Who is that? She asked herself.

"Sailor Moon." The voice said. "If you are out there, I have a message to deliver." Her friends faces appeared in the sky. She could hear their anguished cries of pain and see their faces twist into expressions of pain and sorrow. "Meet me at Macenna Park at one o'clock sharp or…" Usagi could hear her friends scream in pain even louder. "They'll be the ones to suffer." The face vanished and Usagi saw the shocked expressions on all of the people in the streets.

Oh no! She thought, seeing her friends faces in her mind. She could still hear their screams in her ears, ringing through her head.

By the time Usagi got to the park it was almost one o'clock. She pulled out the locket and shouted the magic words. It had been so long since she had been Sailor Moon.

"Ah, there you are Sailor Moon. I've been expecting you." A man's voice said. It was deep and had a touch of arrogance to it. "So, shall we begin?"

"I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice! On behalf of the Moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! And that means you!" The words came back to her, and she charged in, just like she had been taught. This is just what the man wanted. She grew near him and he moved and opened up a black hole. She didn't see it coming, she fell right into his little trap.
