Chapter 2: Team Effort?

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

Running down the side walk, her odango's flying out behind her with a lunch bag in one hand and her unfinished homework in the other, Usagi turned around a corner hoping to sprint down the street and into the school building before the late ball rang but found herself bashing into what seemed to be a solid brick wall. Falling backwards from the collision, Usagi looked up at what she had hit, only to see the short jet-black hair and worried azure-blue eyes of her boyfriend. "Mamo-chan!" she squealed happily as she jumped up from the ground and wrapped her arms around her beloved.

"Usako!" he replied happily, wrapping his arms around her waist and bending his head down for a kiss.

Coming up for air, her face flushed, Usagi looked up at her boyfriend happily. "Mamo-chan, can you meet us at the Jinja after school today?" she asked, "Senshi business." she stated in a lowered tone.

"Of course Usako, I can meet you outside of your school and we can walk to the Jinja together, okay?" he asked, smiling down at her.

"All right Mamo-chan." she said as she hopped up to kiss him again. Wrapping her arms around his neck and balancing on her tiptoes Usagi continued their kiss passionately.

Loving the attention he was getting from his one and only, Mamoru gently wrapped his arms around Usagi's petite form, loving the way her body molded perfectly to his. In his own little world, Mamoru relished the sweet taste of Usagi and pulled her closer to him but was soon sent crashing down from his paradise as the Juuban High School starting bells rang and Usagi ripped herself from his grasp gasping for air as she shrieked and left running for the main doors. Watching his fiancé dash towards her school in a blur of pink and blonde he lowed his head into his hand as she tripped and fell flat on her face. "That's Usagi!" he murmured and he turned around and made his way back to his apartment laughing.

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

"Tsukino-san ?" Usagi heard her teacher call from the class she was supposed to be in as she hurried down the hallway "Tsukino-san?" she heard again as she slid into the classroom. "I'm here...I'm here..." she said as she sat down in her desk trying to catch her breath

"Tsukino-san, you're late..." her teacher huffed

"I'm sorry Ms. Y...it won't happen again..."

"You're right it won't, you have lunch detention with me today."

"Awww...but...but..."

"No `buts' Tsukino-san, and I expect you not to be late..."

"Yes Ms. Yekouzi..." Usagi grumbled unhappily

"Now, class I want you all to..." but Usagi didn't here the rest she was already entering dreamland If only there hadn't been a meeting last night...maybe I would have gotten more sleep... she thought as she rested her head in the palm of her hand. She faintly heard the `click' of the lights then the small `whoosh' as the VCR was turned on. Good, maybe I can actually take a little nap...

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

Makot o sighed rather loudly as she sat with Mamoru on a bench, waiting for her friends to come out of the school building. "Honestly! How can it take them so long to get their behinds out here! I got out here before them and I'm two floors above them!" she steamed as she stood up and kicked the wall.

Chuckling softly, Mamoru stood and looked at the impatient senshi. "You've only been out here for three minutes, Makoto-san! Calm down. Ami-chan's probably talking to their teacher, you know how she gets...".

"What about me Mamoru-san?" Ami asked as she and Usagi walked up to the two as if out of no where.

"Eh he he...nothing...." Mamoru replied quietly as his face turned a slight shade of pink "...Whoa!" he grunted as Usagi flung herself at him and enveloped him in back-breaking hug.

"I missed you honey!" she said, kissing him quickly before pulling away and holding his hand happily.

"Alright you two enough lovey-dovey stuff, we've gotta get to the Jinja!" Makoto laughed as she took hold of Ami and Usagi's hands and began dragging them off in the way of the Hikawa Jinja.

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

Sitting together in Rei's room the girls all laughed as Usagi's face flooded with the color of pink. It wasn't her fault she tripped and fell up the steps! "Honestly, some people... can't you guys give it a break?" Usagi asked pleadingly, looking around at all of her friends.

'Knock. Knock. Knock.'

Everyone stopped laughing and looked to the door.

'Knock. Knock. Knock.'

"Come In." Rei said sweetly.

Rei's bedroom door opened a bit and Yuuichiro poked his head through. His long brown hair was messy and his bangs were hanging in front of his dark brown eyes. A slight smile was plastered on his face as he looked at Rei happily. "Uh...Rei-san, I just thought you might wanna know...uh...there's been another attack." Yuuichiro said kinda feeling silly with all the girls staring at him.

"Thank you Yuuichirou-chan but what did I tell you about calling me `Rei-san'," Rei answered thankfully yet slightly irratated as she looked at Luna.

 

"Hai, gomen ne Rei-san, Re-"

 

Sighing, she interrupted him. "Who was it this time Yuuichiro-chan?"

"Oh...some senior jock guy at Juuban high..." he replied as he looked at the beautiful Miko a slight blush tinting his cheeks. "Um good luck on your report honey." he said as he quickly pulled his head out of the opening and closed the door.

"Report?" Ami asked looking at Rei.

"Yeah what report...wait...Honey!?" Makoto asked in disbelief.

Rei lifter her eyes to Makoto's surprised face and looked to the faces of her other friends, all with shocked expressions.

"Well? Spill!" Usagi said, a grin now forming on her face.

"Yeah Rei-chan! Since when?" Makoto looked at her friend, wanting all the details.

 

"Report?" Came the response from Ami, earning her a pillow to the face by Usagi.

"So, that's where those feelings were coming from!" Minako laughed, "I seriously need to learn my powers better!"

Rei lowered her head and sighed in surrender. "Fine! Yes Okay! Only for a couple of months, Ooph!" she groaned as she was hit with a pillow, followed by three more.

"Alright guys, enough." Ami said as she stopped Usagi from throwing another pillow. "We all got to hit her with a pillow. That's enough." Her cheeks slightly tinted pink as she looked at Rei. "Now, what about this report? What's it on? How many points? Will you need any help?"

A collective sigh responded to Ami's question.

"Geez Ami-chan, is that all you ever think about?" Usagi laughed

"Yeah, Ami-chan...what we really should be asking is how far she's gotten!" Minako laughed with Usagi as Ami's face turned a darker shade of pink, followed by Rei's who's quickly turned into a mask of utter shock and anger.

"Aw you guys, leave Ami-chan alone. She can't help it!" Makoto stood up for Ami.

"Ami-chan? What about me?!" Rei bellowed angrily at all of the girls as they apologized to Ami.

 

"Report?" Ami muttered once more, though not as loudly.

 

"Hmm...my report? Oh," Rei giggled forgetting her anger, "There isn't any report Ami-chan, gomen ne. I asked Yuuichiro-chan to update me on any new disappearances and told him I was doing a school report on them so he wouldn't question me about why I wanted to know..."

"Aw Rei-chan that's mean, you shouldn't use him and lie to him like that, he's your boyfriend!" Ami said as Rei rolled her eyes at her.

"Ami-chan it's not that bad, really. I did that with one of my old boyfriend's back when I lived in England...At that time I was Sailor-V and he was the most popular boy in school, so the gossip he acquired about any weird things usually helped." Minako laughed as she reminisced, remembering his cute boyish face.

"Alright girls...can we please get back to the subject?" Mamoru spoke up for the first time from his place beside Usagi, "Any new information?"

Makoto and Minako sighed as they shook their heads.

"Actually...yes there is..." Rei told the rest of the group, "After you all left yesterday, I was meditating with the Sacred Fire. After a while I witnessed a small vision. There were these two shadows, one seemed to be the boss of the other...they were discussing some type of legendary power...it only lasted for a moment..."

"The Ginzinshou?" Usagi wondered aloud, looking to Rei for an answer.

"I don't know Usagi-chan, though that does make sense your ginzinshou is definitely a legendary power, but I'm not sure…" Rei replied sadly as she looked at her friend. A loud rumble rose over the silence as everyone looked to Usagi's bright red face.

"I can't help it!" she whined, "I'm just so hungry!"

Everyone laughed and looked at the embarrassed expression on their leaders face.

"Why don't we all go home and get some food them meet back here afterward?" Mamoru supplied as he rubbed Usagi's back reassuringly.

"Sounds cool." Makoto said as she stood, followed by the rest. They walked through the Jinja and down the main steps. "See ya later!" she said as she smiled and waved goodbye to her friends as they all walked off in different directions.

 

Following her friend down the street Rei ran towards her to close the large gap between them before calling out. "Usagi-chan wait!"

 

"Hai, is everything ok Rei-chan?" Usagi asked worriedly, watching her friend try to catch her breath.

 

"Hai, would you stay for dinner Usagi-chan? It's already prepared and I've got to talk to you."

 

"Sure Rei-chan! Should I call the girls? Did you remember something?

 

"No, no. Nothing like that. Although Grandpa may be worried since I left without saying anything." The Miko said as her and Usagi walked back to the Jinja together.



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

Sitting quietly with Usagi in her room, Rei lifted her fork to pierce a piece meat. Bringing it to her mouth she chewed daintily as she looked over to her friend, who was eating with just a bit more `Oomph'. She's definitely improved on her table manners. She thought as Usagi lifted her gaze up from her plate to meet with the violet eyes watching her.

 

"What did you need to talk to me about, Rei-chan?" Usagi asked softly after swallowing her food.

 

"Usagi-chan, you know I trust the senshi as a team; but I feel that there really is youma activity happening here. I've come up with a small plan to make sure I'm right but this plan isn't a team plan. If all five of us went on this mission it would be botched for sure." Rei said confidently, stopping to look at Usagi's expression before continuing. What I propose will be both illegal and dangerous, but it will work. I request that I go on this mission tonight. When I return I will report straight to you."

 

"Rei-chan, I trust you, I really do; but from what I'm hearing I know I won't want you to go on this mission, if granted, alone. What if something happens and you need back-up? I can have Ami-chan go with you."

 

"No, she would highly disapprove of what I'll be doing. I must go alone."

 

"Then I will go with you." Usagi said firmly.

 

"No, it is much to dangerous for you Usagi-chan. If we're caught we could end up in battle, be killed or even end up in some scientists lab."

 

"Rei-chan if I approve of your mission and you still want to go, I'm going with you. I may be the Moon princess but I'm a senshi too. Now, what is this mission?"

 

Knowing she couldn't argue her way out of Usagi accompanying her on the mission, Rei relented. "Ok, the mission; if you should choose to approve, is to infiltrate the Tokyo police headquarters and have a look at their case files for the disappearances. We'll have a hell of a time getting into the building and cracking any codes they may have protecting their computers. We will have to completely cover our tracks and if any evidence is found relating to youma exisrence we must destroy it. We cannot have normal civilians waging war against possible invading youma forces. If we slip up in anyway we could be caught and our tracks could be traced back to the rest of the senshi. If we are caught with or without the rest of the senshi we could be killed or become experiments somewhere, there are so many negative possibilies that could come from this if we're caught."

 

Usagi remained silent, shocked by her friends plan. This is something she hadn't expected. Making up her mind, she addressed her fire senshi. "Rei-chan, after considering you mission carefully, I approve. It won't be easy and it will be dangerous but it could help the Senshi team a lot."

 

"Arigatou Usagi-chan." Rei said respectfully before continuing with the details of her plan. "Since out transformation are based on our energy sources and we're all connected, transforming to our senshi identities wouldn't be a good plan as long as the other senshi aren't to find out about this. They would feel us transform. We can dress in black outfits and we'll have to hide our faces under black as well, it will help us be lost in the shadows easily."

 

"I like your idea, but we'd be defenseless, weak and slow without our senshi powers. What if we use my Luna Disguise Pen? It can disguise us properly as shadows and it feeds off of one of the same energy sources you do but it's not connected to the other senshi like we are. The senshi are connected to both the Ginzuishou and their planet, while the Luna Disguise Pen is connected to the Ginzuishou only. The senshi's energy levels were connected in the past on the moon for protection, by connecting the energy levels of each planet's princess. The Ginzuishou controls that connection but isn't part of it, that's part of what the Ginzuishou does, it doesn't draw the powers from each planet and give them to the senshi, it connects the senshi with me, it's owner, as your leader. In regular situations if our senshi abilities and attacks are needed they are accessed though your bonds with your planets. You draw the powers into yourself then use them. Now, these powers can be accessed through the Luna Pen's connection to the Ginzuishou's powers which can tap into the powers of our planets channel the powers from the planets through us instead of us drawing the powers from the planets into us and using them that way and in so doing, alerting the other senshi. In short, this time we'll be working with raw power from our plants, so make sure you work extra hard controlling and shaping the power of your planet."

 

With a stunned expression on her face, Rei looked at Usagi. "How do you know all of this? Not that I think it's a bad idea, it's a great idea actually…"

 

"I don't know, up until I said it I don't think I did know. Maybe it's something that was taught to me back on the Moon."

 

"That's strange, nothing's happened to me like that yet. Where I pull up so piece of information that I probably knew back then but don't know now." Rei smirked, "So it's settled then. Why don't you go home before your parents get worried? Come back here with the Disguise Pen after they've all gone to sleep." She suggested as she walked Usagi out of the Jinja and down the mass of steps I front. "Goodbye Usagi-chan," She said, hugging her friend tightly for a few moments before letting go.

 

Turning to leave, Usagi smiled at the Miko. "'Bye Rei-chan!" she said happily before speedig off down the sidewalk.
