Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Alecto's Run ❯ Easier Said Than Done ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5: Easier Said Than Done

Minako: We're in big trouble. Yousuke has taken Yuri somewhere and we don't know where. I'm not even sure if Yuri knows exactly what has happened to her. We're not sure if Yousuke is going to do something to harm her. Everything has moved so fast in such a short period of time. What are we going to do this time?

Yuri slowly woke up in response to his touch. It felt familiar in some way, as if he had done this before.

"You can just sleep for now. Don't worry about anything," he said in a low, quiet, calming voice, "I'll take care of you from now on."

She drifted back off to sleep. She could hear someone calling her name. The voice was familiar, much like her own voice. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a room with someone standing on the other side across from her. She knew this had to be a dream since this was nothing like room that Yousuke had her in. The other person slowly walks towards her.

"Yuri why are you letting this guy do this to you?"

"Who are you?" Yuri asked right back remaining defensive, "you could at least tell me before demanding something from me."

"I'm Sailor Alecto," she answered sighing, "I have been sleeping within you all your life, just I haven't been needed until now. We are in great danger being here. The other sailor senshi cannot help us here. I do not mean to be blunt or mean, but how stupid can you be to go with Yousuke!?"

"Why are you yelling at me? All I've ever wanted was to be loved unconditionally by someone other than my parents and to know who I really am. That's not asking a whole lot."

Alecto knew exactly how Yousuke had been in the past. He used to be a kind loving person towards her, but when she was finally allowed to show herself something was different about him. The energy around him was darker. Alecto knew the man she had once loved had changed for the worse when he was reborn.

"The only reason why I have shown myself to you is because I need to fully join with you in order for you to understand and know everything I do."

"Alecto you need to stay out of this. I don't need you yet." Yousuke said standing off to the side, "You shouldn't have told her those things."

Alecto had been caught off guard at what Yousuke was capable of. He had no business coming into Yuri's mind like he had.

"How did you enter here?" Alecto asked.

"You forget so easily don't you Alecto? Have you forgotten that we are connected?"

"No, just the extent in which we are. I remember everything."

Yousuke looked over at Yuri, "I know this is over your head darling, I will explain later." He walked over to Yuri and put his arms around her.

"Yousuke get away from her. Leave her out of this. This is between you and me."

"And Yuri." he said in a whisper. He leaned his down and lightly kissed Yuri.

Alecto was mad. She had known to some extent that he had been toying with Yuri's mind. Alecto had tried to protect Yuri as much as she possibly could without having to show herself to Yuri. Yuri's mind was weaker due to the hospitalization and medication and having to adjust to a new environment. So this job had been easier for Yousuke than it normally would have been.

"ALECTO MIZU BLAST!"

Yousuke jumped out of the way of the attack. It went right past Yuri and there was no reaction from her whatsoever.

Shocked over what had just happened she ran up to Yuri to take a closer look, "Yuri are you alright?"

"Go away." Yuri answered with coldness.

"Huh?"

"You tried to hurt Yousuke and you should not have done that. He didn't do anything to you." Yuri slowly looked at Alecto in the eye and Yuri's eyes were blank. Alecto stepped back not sure on what to do.

"I will free her mind from this if you will be with me once more." Yousuke said walking back over.

"No. You are not the same person I knew. You've changed Yousuke and I cannot accept who you've become."

"Alright. I accept your choice. Yuri," she slowly turned her head towards him, "will you come with me or Alecto?"

"You. Alecto has tried to deceive me. You are the only person who understands what I have been through."

Alecto stood there shocked, "Yuri you have to snap out of this. Yousuke has no intention of helping you."

Yousuke took Yuri's chin in his hand, "My darling come with me. Alecto I hope you enjoyed coming out that one time cause as long as Yuri is with me you will not show nor join with her like you're supposed to do. If you hadn't wasted all that time talking you could have done what you were supposed to do, but too late."

He sent a blast at Alecto that sent her flying into the wall. Yousuke opened a door and led Yuri out. Alecto struggled to her feet, holding her left side in pain, just in time to see the door close. She fell to her knees, in shock and total sadness, Shit. I couldn't even stop him from taking her. Of all people who could have saved her, I could have and now she might be lost totally.

A few tears fell down her cheeks, Yuri please realize what he is doing. You know this is wrong. Just wake up.

-----------------------------------------------

"What are we going to do now?" Usagi asked still sitting on the floor in shock.

"Act as if Yuri spent the night at one of our houses. Nothing will be said to her parents. We will figure out something." Ami answered trying to console her friend.

"That's the only thing we can do. Anything else would be a little dangerous to try, not to mention something might slip if we try to explain anything." Haruka responded.

"I just don't believe all of this had happened in a span of two days. If Yousuke doesn't bring Yuri back, we'll run out of excuses on where she is." Makoto added, "Her parents will wonder why she won't answer her cell phone, not be at school, and not at one of our houses. We can only cover for things for so long."

"Let's just hope nothing major happens to Yuri." Minako commented folding her arms.

------------------------------------------------

Alecto had to find a way to let the other senshi know what Yousuke had just accomplished. She knew of a way to project herself to the senshi, but it would only be for a very short amount of time. However she would only need but a few minutes to explain the situation. She struggled to her feet leaning against the wall. It felt as if every rib had been broken at once. She took quick shallow breaths trying to recover the little strength she could. It had been a long time since she had last projected herself. She had learned right after she became a senshi. When she had wanted to see Yousuke but forbidden to leave her room she would use the ability to see him.

-------------------------------------------------

Yousuk e and Yuri woke at the same time. She turned her head slightly and looked at him. He took her hand in his and gently rubbed the top of her hand.

"Yuri do you feel any better?"

"A little. Still a little confused on what just happened with Sailor Alecto. Who is she?"

"Just as she explained, but she would only hold you back if she had joined with you. I can make you stronger than a sailor senshi. Just give yourself to me and I promise you will not be disappointed."

She sat up and brought her knees up to her chest, "What should I do?"

He slowly stood up letting go of her hand, " See that dress over there? Change into it and that senshi will never bother you again."

She swung her legs over the bed and walked over to the closet door. She took the dress from the hanger and went into the bathroom. She locked the door and hung the dress on the shower curtain rod. She unzipped the dress and set it on the counter. She carefully changed out of the outfit and into the dress. Since the dress had a back zipper and she managed to get it zipped halfway before she couldn't anymore. She walks out of the bathroom, her face a little flushed, "Could you help me zip this up the rest of the way?"

"Of course." he zipped the dress up the rest of the way, "There are a few more things that will forever keep that senshi away and be with me forever." he leaned his head down into the small of her neck, "No more judging based on appearances. Just me loving you."

Yuri don't do it. Please trust me on this. I want you to be happy, but I guarantee that if you choose to go with him there will be nothing but sadness. Please don't do this, Alecto pleaded.

You're wrong. He loves me for me, for the first time in my life someone loves me for who I am. You don't even know me.

Yuri listen to yourself. You've never talked like this before. Sailor Moon and the other senshi can help you. Yousuke will just end up hurting you in the end. That tiara, earrings, and necklace will infuse you with evil energy that will only bring sorrow. Yuri trust me on this. I have seen evil before and that is all he is.

That's enough from you. I believe Yousuke, Yuri told off, "Yousuke could you help me with the tiara and other things?"

"Sure." he carefully pulled some of her hair back and tied it in a ribbon. He picks up the tiara and sets it on her head. He took two bobby pins and pinned the tiara to her hair, "Now this is going to bother you for a few days. My energy will make you tired and may cause a little bit of pain, but it will subside soon." he kissed the side of her neck, "I will finally have you."

Yuri closed her eyes for a brief moment then re-opened them in a half daze as the dark energy slowly started to take over and pushed Alecto further away.

Within the next twenty-four hours she will be on my side completely and neither Sailor Alecto nor the other sailor senshi can do anything to bring her back. He watched Yuri closely, embrace this dark energy. Don't fight it.

------------------------------------------------

Sets una felt a powerful distortion in space. Something had seriously gone wrong with a sailor senshi. She quickly brought up a program on her computer that allowed her to scan where the distortion could be coming from. As she ran the scan it focused on the district that all of the other senshi lived in. Setsuna was shocked to find out how close it was in relationship to where she was.

"What or who could cause something like this?" she asked to herself aloud.

"Sailor Pluto."

Setsuna blinked then turned around in the chair and saw a saddened sailor senshi standing before her.

"Sailor Pluto I need your and the other senshi's help desperately. Yousuke has turned Yuri completely evil. Soon I will no longer be able to reach her. She is slipping away from me at an alarming rate. Please I need you, Yuri needs you."

"Which sailor senshi are you?"

"Sailor Alecto. My memories escape on where I was before I was reborn. I do not have much time left. You and the other senshi need to find her and reverse the damage before it becomes permanent." Alecto started to cry, "I cannot loose her to Yousuke. She has a hidden power that can wreck havoc on this city."

"Do you know what that power is?"

"No. I do not have all of the memories. I was unable to join with Yuri. I have come to you since I know you are the sailor senshi who has control over time and you can understand things that the other senshi won't."

"Alecto do you know where you are from?"

"I know not from this one." she winced in pain, "Please help her."

Setsuna blinked and Alecto was gone. This had never happened before. She immediately ran out of her office. She slipped her shoes on and started to run towards the place the scan had pinpointed. Setsuna knew what Yousuke had done. She pulled out her cell phone, "Haruka, Michiru."

Haruka heard the phone go off and flipped it open, "Setsuna what is it?"

"Do you know a girl named Yuri?"

"Yes. She's a new student at the girl's school."

"Sailor Alecto just came and told me a guy named Yousuke has turned Yuri evil." Haruka's eyes widened in shock.

"Alecto said that she does not have much time before she is locked away." Setsuna continued.

"Did you get a lock on where Yuri and Yousuke are?"

"Yes. It's an apartment building not too far from where all of you are right now. Anyone who is with you must get there fast if we're going to help Yuri and Alecto."

"We'll be there as soon as we can." Haruka flipped her phone closed, "Sailor Alecto has asked for our help."

"But how can Alecto ask for help?" Minako asked.

"Not sure, but we are needed A.S.A.P. in the apartment building that is only a few blocks from here."

The other six nodded in agreement. They then ran out of Yuri's house and down the street.

------------------------------------------------

Yuri opened her eyes and glanced at the mirror. There was someone in her that liked the new look. Yousuke walked over and put the necklace on. The necklace would seal the dark energy. After the necklace had been on but a few moments Yuri passed out. He carried her over to the bed and laid her on top of the blankets.

"Sleep and let the energy grow. Alecto don't try to stop this because I know you will. If I get the hint you have talked to her at all I will make you pay."

-------------------------------------------------

They had all henshined and stood looking at the building.

"There is defiantly a power evil energy here, concentrated at the top of the building." Mars said with her hands clasped together.

"How should we go about getting Yuri out of there?" Jupiter asked.

"you won't." yousuke answered appearing a few feet from the senshi, "Yuri needs to rest for now. She will meet all of you within the next forty-eight hours. She will be looking forward to it," an evil smirk came across his face, "since all of you lied to her."

"We did no such thing, it's you who's lying to her."

"Funny she doesn't think so. You're wasting your time coming here. Yuri will show herself soon, please wait until then."

Yousuke disappeared leaving more concern over Yuri's safety than anything else with the senshi.

Alecto appeared in front of the senshi, "He's wrong. There is a chance. When you fight her, you will have a difficult time. I will try my best to hold her back, but at the present time she won't let me talk to her. I can barely stand to be with Yuri since there is so much evil energy in her." she looked down, "Her parents are going to worry. Yuri has every intention of staying with Yousuke; she doesn't want to go home to her parents. He has filled her mind with lies."

"Sailor Alecto how can you appear before us without a body?" Sailor Moon asked.

"I am not fully joined with Yuri yet. I can project myself on sheer will to want to help you and Yuri..." she quieted her voice, "and Yousuke."

"Why help him after everything he has done to you and Yuri?" Uranus asked rather ticked.

"I love him." All of the senshi looked shocked. They did not know Yuri or Alecto or Yousuke well enough to fully understand. They knew next to nothing about the oast except for a tiny bit of silver millennium.

"Do you know if you were around during the silver millennium?" Mercury asked.

"Me and Yousuke are not from this system. We were only reborn here. I cannot remember exactly what happened that we would be reborn here." One tear rolled down her cheek, "Yousuke wasn't always like this. He was different. He just wanted us to be happy, to be together. I don't know who got to him, but that is the person we must fight after this is over with."

"There's going to be someone else we have to fight?" Sailor Moon whined.

"How else would Yousuke be turned against me? He wants to get to Yuri to keep me away. The person who did this must be afraid that Yousuke will somehow remember and start fighting against whoever is doing this."

Uranus stepped a little closer to Alecto, "That's a lot to assume considering you know nothing and aren't even with Yuri right now."

"I have no choice but to assume. Yousuke does not reveal things. I'm in the dark right now. I'm trying to save myself from the man I once loved."

"Haruka, Alecto stop." Pluto said, "We need Alecto's information. She knows more than all of us. Besides we are not sure how much longer she can keep projecting herself."

-------------------------------------------------

Y ousuke walked over to Yuri.

Just a little while longer and Sailor Alecto will never bother me nor you again, he said stroking her face. She is the cause of all of my problems, but you, Yuri, will be the one that helps me achieve my ultimate goal.

"Yousuke."

He turned around, "Sailor Alecto, how nice of you to show up."

"Why keep doing this? Don't you remember what we had together all those years ago? If you turn Yuri evil and have her block me for the rest of time, how will the two of us ever be together again?"

"Look at yourself Alecto. Nothing but a projection of your former self."

"I'd be able to talk and touch you if you hadn't interfered with me joining Yuri. Yousuke please stop. I don't want to fight against you. Who did this to you? Wake up from this."

Silly girl. Do you actually think he remembers you the way you remember him, someone asked Alecto. She looked all around the room trying to find who had asked her such a question.

Yousuke works for me now. You'll never get him back. You should have awakened earlier. Now it's too late Sailor Alecto. The Yousuke you knew is gone forever. Much like your human self will be once Yousuke is done. You'll be stuck in the form you are right now. Hope you like being an astro-projection.

---------------------------------------------- -----

"Where did she go?" Venus asked wondering where Alecto could have gone.

"Don't know. We can't do anything until Yuri appears. We might as well go home and rest. We're in for it when Yuri awakes." Neptune said barely making eye contact with anyone.

The nine de-henshined, took one last look at each other and the building. They'd have to fight another friend and they weren't sure how they would manage.

Usagi headed back to Yuri's house and picked up her bag in the front yard. She started her walk home wondering and hoping her friend would be okay.
