Do You Believe In Miracles?

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Fifteen Miles away from Tokyo

A girl floated in the air, her red-streaked brown hair waving in the breeze. Her emerald eyes shifted around.

"Eh? What's going on? I thought….I was dead. I mean I AM dead, but how am I alive. Last time I checked dead people don't come back to life. Well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." She muttered.

Hannah Kino looked around and landed on the ground softly.

"Now, I just need to figure out how to get back to Tokyo." She mused.

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

Tokyo

It had been a week since Hannah died. After she had died the youma just vanished into thin air. It was like their mission had only been to kill Hannah. The Star Scouts were becoming isolated from the others.

Currently all of them were in different places around Tokyo. Kate was at the arcade taking her pent up emotions out on the Formula One racing game. Kaze was sitting in the rain on the sandy beach shore, staring out at the endless stormy waters. Bianca was riding her motorcycle recklessly around the training course, once again trying to run from her emotions, much like her Amara-papa did. Misty was in the park by the lake, completely out of it as she focused on the lake's icy depths. Marie was in the middle of a forest, sitting on a tree branch, soaked to the bone, thinking about everything. Anna was standing on a street curb, staring absently at road. And Lilly was sitting on the bench in the park near the spot Hannah had died, completely unaware that it was raining, her tears mixing with the raindrops.

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

Hannah stopped walking about two hours after she had started. She smacked her forehead.

"Duh! Since I don't have enough strength to teleport, I can just summon my motorcycle to me." She grinned, and a second later a motorcycle appeared with a helmet. Hannah snapped the helmet on over her head and jumped on. The bike roared to life and she was off.

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

Raye was coming back from school, walking through the park. The others had reported that The Star Scouts hadn't been at school that day, which had everyone all worried.

Raye looked up and she saw a figure sitting on a bench staring into space.

"Lilly?" she muttered, slowing her pace.

The young Martian didn't respond. Raye walked over and helped her stand up.

"Lilly, what're doing out here? You're gonna catch a cold. Come on, I'm taking you back to the temple." Raye said firmly leading her off.

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

Hikawa Jinja Temple:

About ten minutes after Raye got back to the temple with Lilly, Michelle walked in, leading Kaze by the shoulder.

"Look who I found out on the beach." She smiled sadly.

"Lilly was sitting on a bench in the park." Raye replied.

Raye and Michelle looked over to where Lilly sat in a corner. Kaze started shivering with cold.

"I'll go get you a blanket. Michelle, do you think we should expect the others to bring the rest of them?" Raye queried.

"Yes."

By the time Raye got back with the blankets, Amara, Lita, and Mina had arrived with Bianca, Marie, and Kate.

"And where were they?" Raye asked.

"Bianca was foolishly riding her motorcycle out on the training course."

"Marie was up in a tree in the middle of a forest. I found her because Luna reported seeing her go into the forest."

"Kate was at the arcade playing and trying to break the Formula One game."

As Mina finished, Amy and Serena came in with the remaining Star Scouts. Nobody even had to ask.

"Misty was sitting by the lake."

"Anna was standing on a sidewalk a few blocks away."

There were a few minutes of silence than Kaze spoke.

"I still half expect to see Hannah walk through the door." She said quietly staring at the rain.

"Lilly took it the hardest. She was Hannah's closest friend. Martians tend to get very close to their princess." Kaze glanced from Raye to Serena before continuing. "Just over a week ago Hannah was at the arcade giving Kate and Bianca tips on driving in the Formula One game."

The Sailor Scouts looked at the ground, thinking. A small black cat entered the room.

"Twelve youma in the park." Luna Belle said half-heartedly.

The Star Scouts stood up, all except Lilly, who blankly looked over at them. Lilly let out a bitter laugh.

"You still want us to fight? After what happened to Hannah? Our parents still expect us to fight?" Lilly curled her lip, violet eyes darkening. Kaze and Bianca looked at each other.

"Lilly, we still have our duty." Kaze said uncertainly.

"You can fight. I quit." With that said Lilly teleported away.

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

The Park

The remaining five Star Scouts and the seven Sailors were hidden in various trees, shooting off surprise attacks, and jumping to different trees.

Garnet started preparing her attack, but a youma lunged out of nowhere and knocked her out of the tree.

"Shadow Glaive Strike!" Sailor Amethyst came to the rescue, her glaive destroying the youma. Just as Amethyst kneeled to tend to Garnet's wounds, a giant paw swept her right off the ground and into a tree, knocking her unconscious. Another swipe sent Garnet hurtling into a tree.

"Amethyst! Garnet!" Aquamarine and Tanzanite leapt from hiding and tried a double team attack. Aquamarine attacked with her mirror from the left and Tanzanite attacked with her Wind Sword from the right.

Two more youma effortlessly knocked the sisters out, with them landing somewhere in the forest. Four scouts down.

"Why you-" Crystal took out her own Venusian Sword, raising it above her head. The blade connected with the youma before its paw caught her roughly in the chest, and she was sent flying through the air into a tree. It took only ten minutes for the youma to knock out Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Moon, Mercury and Mars. Jupiter, injured, was the only one left standing.

`This is it…' she thought hopelessly as the youma swung its paw at her. She waited for the paw to connect…..but it never hit.

"Wha-?" Sailor Jupiter opened her eyes.

A green blur was cutting down youma expertly, only getting hit two or three times.

"It can't be." Jupiter whispered.

The young warrior sheathed her sword and offered out her hand to Jupiter. The Jovian soldier gaped.

"Hey mother, do you believe in miracles?" Hannah asked, grinning.

AN: That's all for now. Sorry for the short chapter, but I had to write it before I lost the idea. Anyway, R/R!
