Chapter 3: Breaking and Entering

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

The chilly night air blasted Usagi in the face as she hopped lightly out of her bedroom window into the tree outside. Her delicate hands grasped the branches around her, causing a multitude of red and orange leaves to fall to the ground. Her blond hair, down from it's usual style, blew into her face as she climbed down the tree limbs, making near impossible for her to see. The rough tree bark scraped at her hands as they slid along the branches. Once she was firmly standing on the ground she hurried over to the cover of a mass of bushes within her back yard. Pulling the metallic purple pen from her jean pocket, Usagi held it tightly in her hand. "Disguise power! Turn Me Into Sailor Moon!" she commanded in a whisper, a moment later the pen began to glow. The glowing spread from the pen to Usagi's hand and soon to her whole body. As the light faded, Sailor Moon stood crouching in the bushes where Usagi had been but a moment before. Placing the Disguise pen in her sub-space pocket and standing up fully, she leapt to her roof and bounded away over the rooftops of Tokyo to the Hikawa Jinja.

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

Rei stood in her room at the Jinja, awaiting Usagi's arrival. Her long raven locks fell down over her fiery red silk pajamas, her violet eyes scanning the area outside her bedroom window. She was nervous but she knew this had to be done. A gentle rapping sounded at her window and looking out, she could see Usagi dressed as Sailor Moon standing in the darkness. Smiling, she opened the window, letting the chill of autumn nights settle over her skin before hopping outside onto the crisp green grass.

"Rei Hino, sneaking out again! Tsk, tsk tsk; if your Grandfather only knew." Sailor Moon jokingly chided her friend as the raven-haired Miko stood next to her. Retrieving the Disguise Pen from within her subspace pocket, Sailor Moon held the magical pen with her right hand before holding out her other to Rei.

"Hai, and look at which one of my delinquent friends is sneaking about with me." Rei chuckled before taking Sailor Moon's hand, a slight shiver descending over her body.

"Disguise Power, turn Rei-chan into Sailor Mars!" came Sailor Moon's hushed command, the pen immediately beginning to glow. The light emanating from the Disguise Pen traveled through Sailor Moon and across their linked hands before fully engulfing Rei's body. When the light faded, Rei stood in the darkness as Sailor Mars.

"It worked!" Sailor Mars laughed in amazement.

"Of course it worked, why wouldn't it work?" Sailor Moon questioned suspiciously.

"Because, ah, the-one-time-me-and-Minako-chan-tried-to-use-it-when-you-left-it-at-the-jin ja-to-make-us-appear-older-for-a-college-party." Mars speedily explained herself, sounding miraculously like Usagi, her friend's peels of laughter cutting off the rest of her story. After the laughter subsided Sailor Moon looked to Sailor Mars.

"What'd it do?" she asked, an amused smile on her face.

"It sent electric shocks through us and burnt our fingers." Mars grumbled.

Once more Sailor Moon burst out in laughter, grabbing her aching stomach as she imagined the scene of Rei and Minako holding the pen, their bodies shaking with low electric jolts before dropping the pen and sucking on their finger. `Serves them right.' She thought, her laughs becoming less frequent as she gaped for air.

"Can it, Odango Atama." The irritated fire senshi bit out, watching her friend with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, I told you not to call me that, you pyro! And I can't help it, it's funny!" came Sailor Moon's response through gasps. Finally catching her breath, she stood up.

"Hopefully you didn't wake Grandpa-kun and Yuuichiro-san…" Mars muttered, less irritated.

"Hai, you're right…we'd better leave. We've got work to do anyway. And it wasn't just me." Sailor Moon agreed before leaping to the rooftop of the Jinja.

"Was too." Mars muttered to the wind, following Moon's example and leaping to the top of the Jinja.

Nothing more was said between the two as they made their way above the city to the Tokyo Police Department.

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

Two figures stood crouching deep within the shadows of an alley behind the Police Department. After failing to adjust to the weather as quickly as they had wanted the two sailor senshi, usually dressed in short-skirted body suits, used the Disguise Pen earlier than expected and now stood firmly against the brick wall garbed in warm, black, long sleeved shirts and pants, their eyes glued to the surroundings of the building they were infiltrating.

Camera's sat all around the outside of the building, catching every possible angle at every possible moment. Armed guards stood at all entrances, making it impossible to enter the building without sneaking in an alternate way.

"We can't sneak past the camera's, we need a cover." Mars whispered. "If only Mercury were here, a thick fog could help us easily get past the camera's, then all we'd need to do is find a way in that doesn't involve doors."

"Mars, you and the other senshi have been working on mastering you powers without commands, haven't you?" Sailor Moon asked, her voice barely at hearing level.

"Hai, but why would you want me to burn all of the camera's? That would alert the police."

"Not burn them, baka. Smoke. Could you create a thick but fog-like mass of smoke? If you could and we could keep the smoke a light gray, then it would probably be just as effective as Mercury's fog."

"I could try, but if it doesn't work then we'll have to abort the mission. If my powers can't do that yet, then they will make it seem like there's a fire and then we'll be in hot water, and fast. The fire department would show up and it would be on the news, security would be tighter after that."

"It's the only plan we've got." Sailor Moon told her friend, "We have to try it."

With a nod of affirmation, Sailor Mars closed her eyes, feeling the energy of Mars within her; she followed what her connection to the planet told her. Lifting her arms slowly, rising them until they reached toward the sky, Sailor Mars concentrated on her connection to the powers of Mars. Gently at first but then stronger, Mars' body began to glow with red energy. Bringing her arms down in a swooping arc and then rushing out past her and mentally commanding the powers within her, the wind sped up bringing with it a mass thickness of pale gray smoke. The smoke covered the area surrounding the Police Department, rendering the securities cameras useless.

Immediately taking action, Sailor Moon took off through the smoke, using her senshi senses to guide her. Mars followed after her princess, easily seeing through the smoke. Soon they'd scaled one of the walls, opened a window and entered the building. Occupying one of the many computers Usagi put her lessons with Ami to work, hacking into the system and locating all files and evidence on their case.

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

Ami sat awake at her desk; the golden glow of her lamplight washed over her body, tinting her skin the color of bright sunshine. Her short blue hair was messy from sleep and her eyes were red rimmed. She wore a beautiful blue silk pajama outfit decorated with shiny metallic snowflakes. She'd been up for about an hour, and needed sleep desperately. A feeling of foreboding was hovering within her, and had kept her from a good night's rest, visions of mass destruction invading her mind every time she was on the brink of sleep. Her eyes drooped, slowly closing as the slight buzz of her lamp lulled her into a fitful slumber once more.

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

Now sitting at an empty desk, the girls poured over the extremely large amounts of evidence they'd gathered. Already the four disappearances had been compared to other youma-interference cases and had been written up as such. The case they were interested in had become one piece of an intricate web of youma activity collected and connected, though cluelessly, by the Tokyo Police. They now thought, that somehow, all of the youma activity since the reactivation of the Sailor Senshi was connected, and were all after one thing, the downfall of the Sailor Senshi and of course, there must be a reason for this and so they had now become the prime suspects in the case. They give the youma their motive, but why? Already, a number of idea's had surfaced; from the senshi being related to the youma and vying for their family powers to the Sailor Senshi being leaders from some far off galaxy, who'd traveled to Earth after a group of rogue government officials sent on overthrowing the Senshi Government. Obviously, the Tokyo Police were clueless and desperate, but they did know one thing: get rid of the Sailor Senshi, and you get rid of the youma.

"I can't believe this, they think we're the bad guys!" Sailor Moon cried out indignantly hurt and anger evident in her voice.

"It'll be okay, Usagi-chan. They'll see soon enough, you've saved this world time and time again. The existence of the world has been placed on your shoulders, soon the Silver Millennium will be reconstructed and you will rule the galaxy as Queen w-with Mamoru-san by your side. Together, you will show them who and what we are."

"Thank you, Rei-chan." Sailor moon replied, hugging her friend solemnly.

The girls remained quiet for some time, Sailor Mars holding Sailor Moon, as her silent tears spilled down over her cheeks. She was grateful for her senshi's strength and reassurances but she still felt betrayed. The people of Earth are what she fought for night after night. She fought for their freedom and now they thought she was the one controlling the youma. She cried in quiet remorse, the strength and love she thought she had from the people leaving her.

"Shhh it will be alright, " Mars said, wiping the tears from her princess's face. "Everything will be all right, I promise. The senshi and myself will make sure of that but we can't stay here much longer,"

"I-I know, th-thank you Rei-chan." Sailor Moon replied in a shaky voice, rising to her feet and rubbing her eyes. Breathing deeply, Sailor Moon tried to calm her nerves. She'd be of little to no use if they got caught on their way out.

Gathering the police documented papers and putting them back in the manila folder in which she found them, Sailor Mars looked at the folder before depositing it into her subspace pocket.

"Mars! What are you doing?" Sailor Moon asked in surprise her voice steadier than before as she glimpsed the folder disappearing into thin air.

Sighing, Sailor Mars looked to her friend. Sailor Moon's face was a medium shade of pink and her eyes were rimmed with red, you could tell she'd been crying. A twang of sympathy passed through Sailor Mars rebuffing the sarcastic statement that was about to roll off the top of her tongue. "We need them Usagi-chan, we really do. As evidence against us to show to the others and to stall any actions against us from the police."

"H-hai, Rei-chan." Sailor Moon said with a nod. Pulling her black mask back on she followed Sailor Mars, who's also done the same, through the open doorway; down the hallway and out the window they'd come through back out into the night.

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

A melody lightly flowed throughout her room as Minako laid in her queen sized Victorian bed humming the bars of an ancient song long forgotten. Her golden hair was spread out over her orange silk pillows and her eyes gazed dreamily up at her beautiful textured peach ceiling. Visions of blurred couples danced across glowing ballroom floors to elegant classical music. Happiness and love were in the air, swimming throughout the crowd saturating them with their qualities. She lay there in a trance like state, on the threshold of reality and consciousness within the dream world. Whether her vision was just that, a vision of some future she was part of, a memory of her past or just a dream; she did not know. And yet she did not care, for inside she felt just as loved and happy as those within her vision. How long she watched them mingle and dance she did not know until she slipped peacefully into slumber.

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

Makoto sat silently under her blanket, leaning comfortably back against her cushioned forest green plush armchair in her living room. She felt snug and warm in her dark green cotton pajamas, which were decorated with tiny falling leaves; tucked tightly under her matching decorated quilt. Her milk-chocolate hair laid in waves down over her shoulders and back, out of its usual pony tailed style. Her emerald green eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she watched the extremely sad plot of a sappy romance flick on her television. She couldn't help but love the movie, already she'd watched it over 100 times and could even say the words along with the movie. Somehow, it reminded her of her old boyfriend… "Let's get outta here." Her soft silky voice said along with the handsome man on screen. Tears drifted down from her eyes to slide along her cheeks, happy endings always made her cry. Sitting in the chair, Makoto cried during the end of the movie, falling asleep as the credits rolled across the screen.

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

Sailor Moon watched as Rei climbed in over her windowsill, after deactivating the Disguise Pen's powers over Rei the girl was dressed once more in her pajamas.

Rei bid her princess farewell and closed her window wasting no time in her darkened room she jumped into her bed and pulled the covers up over her, falling asleep as soon as her eyes closed.

Sailor Moon ran over the grounds of the Hikawa Jinja and almost flew down the mass of cement steps leading down to the street below. Jumping high into the air on the last step she soared over the street and up to the rooftop of the building on the other side. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop she made her way home. Bounding up the branches of the tree outside her house and nimbly leaping the two foot gap between the top branch and her open window, Sailor Moon deactivated the power of her disguise pen as she entered her room, landing in a soft crouch on her pink carpeted floor. Rising into a full standing position, Usagi walked across her room to her bed, soaking in the softness of the carpet on her bare feet. Reaching for the quilt covering her bed, Usagi's cerulean blue depths met the inquiring and irritated red eyes of Luna. The small midnight blue cat's tail twitched as she looked up at her charge. "Nice entrance, but would you care to tell me where you've been, and what you were doing using the Disguise Pen to transform you into Sailor Moon?"

"Luna-chan!" Usagi gasped, wincing at the tone of her guardian's questions. "I-it was just s-some senshi business Rei and I were looking into, we didn't feel it was necessary to alert the others, though there will be a meeting tomorrow." The moon princess explained herself, keeping her voice calm and cool.

"Senshi business? And what exactly did this `senshi business' entail?" drawled Luna, her eyes wide with interest.

"N-nothing. Not much, you'll f-find out tomorrow…" she replied before diving into bed and pretending to sleep, ending the conversation.
