[ P - Pre-Teen ]
"Pheobe! Wait."

Pheobe turned around in time to see Usagi running towards her. She stood for a few moments and waited for the girl to catch up.

"Why did you run?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Understand what?"

Pheobe sighed, shutting her eyes tight before continueing. "Ami is curious, wondering, she wants to know more. Usagi you care genuinly for everyone you meet.. One wants to know more, she's eager for information, but has a strong sense of duty at heart. The other friend, with the brown hair. She's very strong, but she wants to be normal..The raven haired one cares for you the most..but they all love you deeply. You share a bond...something deep.."
Pheobe looked at Usagi who was now staring at her in shock. Pheobe sighed, looking away. "I told you you wouldn't understand."

"How did you know that?"

Pheobe sighed. "I'm empathic."

"Emp..athic?"

Pheobe smiled, starting to walk again. "I experience the feelings of others. I've had it as long as I can remember, but lately it's gotten stronger."

Usagi blinked, following. "Oh..but why did you run?"

"I can't explain it, it's stronger with you, your friends. My head hurts from it."

Usagi frowned. "Sorry. We can try to stay away from you if you want."

Pheobe smiled. "Thats alright, I'm sure I can handle one or two of you." She stopped, turning around to Usagi. "You've experienced a lot of pain."

Usagi looked at Pheobe, surprised for a moment. Pheobe smiled. "Part of that bond you have? It's alright you don't have to tell me, try not to think so loud, it might help. It's what I used to tell Merriam."

"Merriam?"

Pheobe nodded. "My friend back in San Francisco."

==========================================

Lu na moved the mouse with her paw, scrolling the curser over the computer. "The satallite picked up some unusual pictures just past Pluto. An meteor in orbit appears to be emmiting strange energy, similer to those we encountered.."


"Luna? Do we have another Sailor Soldiar?"

Luna turned around glancing at Ami. "There are several Sailor Soldiars throughout the galaxy, you know that."

Ami nodded, while Rei intervened. "She means are there any more withen this solar system? With rune symbols?"

Luna glanced around at the girls, scanning their faces. "No. All the senshi have been awakened."

Artemis nodded. "What brought up this discussion?"

Ami opened her book, showing the rune symbol to the two guardian cats. "I thought I saw the sign on one of the students at our high school."

Luna stared at the image then looked back up to Ami. "Which student?"

"The new girl, Pheobe."

Artemis sighed. "The excessive teleporting last night exausted you, we should continue this meeting another time."

"But, if they were searching for something like this.."

"Ridiculous, We'll end this meeting tonight. Get some rest."

Together the two cats leapt off the desk, exiting the room.

When they were alone Luna looked at Artemis. "Do you think they suspect?"

Artemis sighed. "I don't know, but this is getting dangerous."

"She's starting to awaken, you know what this means."

"We could all be in deep trouble."

=============================================

< br> Usagi sighed, walking down the street towards home. "Luna was being so secrative, she's never acted like that before."

Minako nodded. "Artemis too, it's like they're hiding something."

"A new Senshi?"

They all looked at Rei.

Makoto nodded. "But if it was a senshi, why would they try to hide it?"

They all nodded in agreement, rolling the possibilities around in their heads.

=============================================

"Tha nk you for meeting us."

Haruka folded her arms. "I don't usually talk to cats."

Luna nodded. "Desperate times. We believe we know what the enemy is after."

Michiru tilted her head curiously, approaching a step forward. "Why come to us?"

Artemis lifted his head. "Because what the enemy is after must be eliminated. If the guardian is awakened..."

Haruka scoffed. "And we were the first people you called for this task."

"Sailor Moon, the others. They can't know about this. This is not a burden meant for them and you know it."

Haruka nodded. "You relize, if we do this for you we can't go back.."

Luna nodded, Michiru narrowed her eyes, placing a hand on Haruka's arm. "No, what your talking about is murder in cold blood. I won't go back down that road. Haruka, let them bloody their own hands."

Haruka nodded, following her lover to the door.

"Haruka. You know as well as I your duty is to protect at all costs. If evil finds the guardian there will be nothing left for you to save."
Luna continued. "The guardian will be reborn as another life, but some secrets should be kept burried, for the safety of the planet."
