Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ No Hope Left ❯ Chapter Two: Dicsovery ( Chapter 2 )

Author's Note: Hello again. I hope you all don't hate me now. It's only going to get worse. Thank you to all who reviewed. This chapter will hopefully be longer.

Disclaimer: Own Sailor Moon I do not. To the story, on we will go (don't ask me where the Yoda thing came from, which I also do not own).

~~**Chapter Two**~~

"Sailor Mercury has been disposed of." The slimy green youma said to a woman sitting in the shadows.

"Good, that's very good." She said in a silky voice. The youma bowed and left. The woman stood and stepped out of the darkness. She had hair black as pitch, streaked with red. Her eyes were deep blue. They held no joy, only cruel wretchedness. She was tall and thin. She looked to be in her early twenties, but the strangest and most ominous feature about her was her great, bat-like wings.

The woman laughed. It was a deep, wicked laugh. This is so much fun. The Sailor Senshi will never know what hit them.

"Oh Raethor" She said in a would-be-sweet voice. The slimy green youma appeared.

"Yes, my lady?" It asked.

"I've changed my mind. Leave a few of the Sailor Senshi for me, especially the little blonde one with the odango's on her head."

"As you wish" He said, bowing and smiling. Raethor strode out of his mistresses chamber. He always liked to be in her presence. Some of the other youma were afraid of her, but not Raethor. He was boundlessly loyal to his mistress. He would never even think of betraying her. That's why he was in charge, he thought with a smirk. He quickly changed his smile to a frown. He must stop wasting time. There were Sailor Senshi to take care of.

"I wonder where Ami is you guys. It's not like her to be late to a study group." Makoto said, frowning.

"Yeah, I'm starting to get worried." Rei said, biting her lip.

"Oh, I'm sure she's alright. Maybe her mom needed her to do something." Usagi said, trying to smile.

"Well, the least she could do is call." Minako pouted. They sat in silence for awhile, until Rei spoke up.

"I have an uneasy feeling. I think we should go and look outside for her. Maybe we can see her coming."

"I agree. Let's go." Makoto said, standing up.

"Oh, but you guys, my favorite show is on!" Usagi whined.

"Don't you think this is a little more important than some stupid show?" Rei shouted.

"Fine, I'm coming." Usagi sighed. They all walked brusquely outside and down the steps of the Hikawa Jinja. The moon shone bright in the night sky and a light breeze whispered through the trees. Even though it was a beautiful night, a sense of doom fell over the Sailor Senshi as they began to walk down the street.

"Hey, you guys, I think I see something up there." Minako said, squinting in the darkness. The girls broke into a run, but skidded to a halt when they were close enough to make out the shape of what lay on the ground. Their stomachs lurched and a sickening fear began to grow inside of them.

"Oh no, please, no…" Usagi said, wide-eyed. Makoto crept slowly up to where the body lay unmoving on the cold pavement. She knelt beside it and put her hand on its shoulder. She slowly turned the figure toward her and let out a scream when she saw Ami's wide, staring eyes.
