Fly Away
chapter 3
by battie(the one and only flying wonder)
-------------------------------------------------

Glancing behind me I stole a quick glance at the new boy. As it turned out
his name was Haruka Tenoh (that's right isn't it?). God was he a hunk. Ms.
Kuno had finally let me in after a good twenty minutes of lounging out
there, my arms had felt like they were about to drop off. Watching him at
his work I marveled at his fair looks, so much different from Mamoru's dark
looks. Wait a minute, why am I thinking about Mamoru? Turning forward I
glance at Mamoru to find him watching me. As soon as I catch him though he
turned around quickly, a small flush staining his cheekbones. He was part of
the enemy right? One of those exasperating so-called super heroes Luna
wanted her to join. Getting deep in thought I didn't notice until to late
that Ms. Kuno was standing beside my desk, tapping her foot in an irritated
tempo.

"And what, pray tell, is so important that you can't get through this class
without dazing out?" Her squeaky voice was starting to annoy me.

"Oh, nothing much. Just thinking about the monsters that have been attacking
Tokyo and wondering why we're the ones that always get attacked or blown up.
I mean you never see Godzilla go to America or even England for that matter.
All of the monsters always attack poor Tokyo. Don't you find that a little
funny?" Glancing up at her I watch her face go purple with rage. It's quite
funny actually, I know that would get under her skin too. 'Hmm..five.
four..three...two...one...

"MS. TSUKINO!!!!!!!!!! OUT!!! GO TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE, NOW!!!!!!!"

Getting up I glance at Haruka, it was quite gratifing to find a smirk on his
face, trying not to laugh at Ms. Kuno's face. Smiling at him I sashay
towards the door, stealing little glances at him under my lashes. When I
pass by his desk he leans back slightly and I run my fingers lightly over
the surface, running over his upper arm when I reach it. If he didn't get
that hint he was blind. I pull the door open, turn around and close it
lightly. My last sight was of Mamoru glancing at me and Haruka suspiously. I
guess I need to learn how to be a little more subtle. Oh well.

later that day
------------------

Leaving the school I head toward the shrine, after a moments hesitation. I
didn't want to go to this stupid meeting at all, the only reason I kept
going was my cat like curiousity that wanted to know more about my new
powers. I reached the steep staircase, that led to the shrine, in no time at
all. Of course I WAS late, but that couldn't have been helped. After all, I
had gotten detention for that little stunt in first period. When I got to
the top I could see the four girls standing around the two cats with Mamoru
standing off to the side, more and outsider than a member. Which was odd
since her was supposed to be one of them. I still couldn't believe that he
fought in a tux, it was laughable. I sobered when they all turned my way.
Lita was welcoming, Rei looked furious, Ami looked had a calm expression,
the blond looked confused, and Mamoru indifferent.

"Your late!" Rei said nastily.

Raising a brow at her I proceeded to ignore her and went forward to sit on
the temple steps. This was the icing on the cake as far as miss high and
mighty was concerned, she blew a gasket. "I'm NOT going to follow some half
wits orders, and let her put my life at stake! I refuse to allow her
leadership. I'm the leader! Not her!"

"No, Sailor Moon is the leader Rei, you were only holding fort until we
could find her." At Luna's calm words Rei's face went an alarming shade of
red. Eyes spitting fire she looked at me, turned around and stomped off.

"Wait a minute, I'M leader?!? Why me?"

"Never mind that Usagi, just listen up. We have been through several
enemies. The first was Beryl, then there was Ann and Alan, who by the way
were healed not killed. That leaves us with our new enemy, the Dark Moon
family." The whole story took about an hour to tell, not to interesting if
you ask me but hey, what do I now about being a super hero right?

"Now I want you to try out your transformation. Yell Moon Crystal Power."
Luna said calmly.

Looking at her dubiously I took the pendant off of my chocker and glanced at
it for a moment. 'Hmm..I'm gonna feel really stupid if this doesn't work. Oh
well, as they say, no pain no gain.' Raising the pendant into the air I
yelled the disignated words. I suddenly felt as if I was floating. My
clothes desintigrated from my body and multi colored ribbons wrapped around
my body. When it was over I felt disoriented so I grabbed ahold of the
nearest object, which just happened to be Mamoru. Looking down at myself I
studied my so called uniform. It needed some work, it was all red, white,
and blue. I felt like an american flag. Reaching up and grabbing the pendant
that had found it's way to my choker again I thought once more of what I
would rather look like. Just as it was about to work an image of Lady Death
popped into my head. At the group gasp I looked down, expecting the worst.
It definitly was. I had skulls everywhere and just enough covering cloth to
feel a shot glass. I blushed heavily and decided to try again. I felt a
sifting of ribbons and looked down to veiw my handy work. It was definitely
better than the last. I had what looked like a one peice pant suit, of a
muted metallic silver, that fit me like a second skin. I had tight thigh
high boots and elbow length gloves of midnight black. The top of the suit
came up to my neck in a tight coller, leaving the entire back bare. Feeling
something heavy on my head I reached up and felt a small tiara. I'd have to
find out what that looked like later, seeing as I didn't have a mirror and
all. The boots had small silver cresent moons encircling the top, while the
gloves had a sprinkling of light light sliver moons on it also. It was
pretty cool actually, you turn one way it looked black and when you turn
another way it showed the film of moons. Feeling the neck collar I could
feel my pendant firmly placed in the middle. Looking over at the others I
laughed at their shocked expressions, this was turning out to be okay.

"How come we can't do that?" the blond asked.

"Because you don't have that kind of power Minako-chan." the small white cat
answered.

"That's not far." Mina huffed.

"Okay girls stay quiet. These here," luna said producing a few small items,
"are some of your tools as SM. This is your disguise pen, it lets you
transform into anything you want if your in a tight spot, and this is your
communicator, it lets us keep track of each other."

"Oka..."

"There's a monster down at the food mart!!!!" Rei yelled while running out
of the temple at top speed. The girls all transformed and took off after
her. I followed at a slower pace, trying to figure out what to do. When I
arrived at the mart the senshi were slowly being beaten by the monster while
a green haired maniac cackled above.

"I'll leave you puny senshi to your doom," the witch above said before
dissappearing.

When the senshi were down for a few seconds the monster turned towards me.
Charging at me i did the first thing that came to mind, I pulled out a
weapon from out of thin air. It was a silver staff, about the length of my
forearm, with a Black ball on the end, which was held up by another silver
cresent moon. Pointing the thing at it I tried to think of something to
yell, hmmm...there you go.

"MOON PRINCESS DESTRUCTION!!! (hey the halation wouldn't have gone with the
bad ass look, bear with me here.)

The monster split in half a moment before the ball of energy hit it and only
half was destroyed. The other half dissappeared. The hair on the back of my
neck raised and I was thrown into the wall before I could defend myself.
Through my daze I heard a final attack.

"World Shaking!"

The monster was gone in moments. Leaving me staring at the back of a tall
blond haired women as she ran off.

That night I got home pretty late. As I was laying in bed I heard someone
stumbling downstairs. Sitting up got out of bed and tiptoed down the central
stairs. The racket was coming from the library. I opened the door a crack
and was greeted by a large hand coming through and pulling me in. Looking
into my attackers face I recognized him. Akira. My heart started to pound,
and my blood was rushing through my head. Fears a terrible thing, and it had
me tightly in it's grip. With his huge hand covering the lower half of my
face and his bulky body pressing me to the door I almost pissed on myself. I
pressed my hands to his chest and tried to push myself away, only succeeding
in proving to myself that he was stronger than me.

"So the little whore is getting into trouble again. This time I'm going to
give you what I was detained from doing before." Akira was drunk.

Throwing me to the floor he sat on my lower half, encircling my neck with
his hands. Putting pressure on it I felt my breathing become constricted.
Clawing at his wrists I tried in vain to free myself. With all of the breath
left in my lungs I screamed, the peircing sound surely reaching to Kumiko's
bedroom. The edges of my vision were starting to become fuzzy, I had to get
him off of me fast, he was choking me to death. I could feel my face turning
and angry red. Despretely trying to find a way to escape I started to pound
on his chest. Someone must have been looking out for me though because by
the moonlight shining in one of the windows I saw a metallic flash. Reaching
quickly for the gun I tugged it out of his waist band and pulled back the
hammer. Pointing it into his chest I nudged him just enough to show him what
I was now in possesion of. It was enough to get him off of me in a hurry.
Sucking in the precious air I took my eyes of him for only a moment before
learned my mistake the hard way and her knocked the gun from my hands.
Hitting me across the face he sent me sprawling on the desk by the window.
Pointing the gun at me he pulled the trigger and I felt a ball of molten
heat rip through the right side of my chest. Blood shoot out across the
floor, soaking me in the process. Hitting the desk I spotted the little
silver letter opener through my red haze of pain. Grabbing it I through
myself at him. Pulling my arm back I brought it down with all of my weight
behind it. I didn't know what I hit, whatever it was made blood spray up and
on me. At the sound of the gun hammer being pulled back I tried to roll off
of him and was too slow. The second bulled hit me in the upper thigh. I
heard the pounding on the door as if from a distance. Right as one of the
male servants burst in, follewed by Kumiko, I felt my vision dim. This was
it, I was going to die. God the pain was almost unbearable. The last thing I
saw was Kumiko's tear streaked face above mine.
