Hauntings Lady Of the Black Rose ladynorose@hotmail.com ~*~*~*~*~*~ Part 6 For the incredibly stupid: Sailor Moon doesn't belong to me. Duh. Thanx to Lita J!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "HELP!" Minako kept screaming. She spilled a cherry slushie on her leg, making it look as though she was bleeding. Along with the other mass confusion, the teachers were to flustered to notice the little chunks of ice in the 'blood'. "HOLD IT!" Sailor Moon yelled. "Please, Sailor Moon. No speeches." Aqua moaned. "Fine, fine. Senshi, um, ATTACK!!" "FIRE SOUL!" "VORTEX SPARKLING FLAME!" The two fire senshi combined their attacks. Minako slipped away to transform as they all stared. "AHHH!" The monster screamed as it was blown away from the kids. "Plan A part 3!" Mercurey ordered. ONce again she got blank stares from Aqua and Pyro. "Okay, Jupiter, take right, Mars and Aqua, go left. Pryo, you're covering my back while I get some scans. Venus, cover Moon. Keep throwing atacks to distract it. When I say, attack where I say. Then, Moon and V know what to do." Mercury said.\ "Oh." "Yeah. NOW!" Mercury ordered. They split. "TSUNAMI RAGE ENGULF!" "CRESCENT BEAM!" "I call upon the power of Mars! Fireballs.... CHARGE!" Mars yelled. "SUPREME-- Hey! Get the hell outta my way!" Jupiter yelled at a kid who had unwittingly stepped in her line of fire. "VORTEX SPARKLING FLAME!" "Okay! In the stomach!" Mercury yelled. "CRESCENT BEAM!" "SUPREME THUNDER!" "FIRE SOUL!" "TSNAMI-- ahhhhhh!!!" Iris went down, nd didn't stir. The mionster had managed to get a hit, because she was closest. His knife like hands slashed across her stomach. "NOW, Sailor Moon! We have to get Aqua out of here!" Mars yelled. "MOON TIARA ACTION!" The youma screamed as it decenigrated. Pyro and Jupiter picked up Aqua, as her fuku began to shimmer. "Dammit! Hurry!" Venus yelled. Like they had been doing it forever, they got Aqua out, leaving the teachers to wonder what had become of the exchange students. ~*~*~*~*~*~ "You can't leave me, Iris. Come on." Daphne whispered. They had ran all the way to Iris's appartment. "We need Saturn." Jupiter mumbled. "Here. Luna says this will help." Ami put a glass of green blue liquid to Iris's lips. "She's not bleeding anymore." Minako reported. "That's good." Ami said. She went back to typing on the small blue computer. Usagi came in with strips of cloth. Daphne helped her take off the bloody ones and put the fresh ones on. "Ugh-- did anyone get the number of that semi?" Iris asked weakly. "IRIS!!" Daphne flew to her side. "No-- don't get up. It wasn't a truck-- you were hit by the monster-- a rib and a--well, just don't look down. Becca will be here in a few, Vulcan went to get her." "Wha--?" Iris asked. "Daph, you're confusing her. Iris, just don't get up. You should be okay in a few days. That stuff I gave you will help you heal. No fghting until it does, got it?" Ami said sternly. "Like hell I won't. I am perfectly fine." Iris tried to sit up, but the pain was too great. She let out a groan, and fell back down. "I'm just tied." She amended. "Ya, right." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Much later that night, A figure dressed intirely in black, with a black cloth draped over her head, stole into the appartment. She went to the room where Iris was sleeping. Iris stired, and woke up. Seeing the figure, she prepared to shout. The figure's hand went over her mouth. "Shhh." "Mfhrmhrhfmmghr." Iris muttered. From the figure's hand, she could tell it was a girl. The girl put her other hand over the cloth bandages, where the cut was. Iris's eyes widened as she felt a tingling sensation. She looked. A soft yellowish white light came out of the girls hands and on her stomach. The bandages melted away and Iris watched as the cuts healed. When there wasn't even a scar left, the girl took her hand away. Iris leaned over for a look of her face. The girl backed away so she couldn't. "We will meet again, Sailor Aqua." The girl said, and then she left. Iris felt her stomach. No cut, no anything. Like it was before. Who was that girl? ~*~*~*~*~*~ "IRIS!" What are you doing?! Get back in bed this instant. Now." Usagi walked in the kitchen that morning to see Iris having a cup of coffee and reading the paper like nothing. "I'm waiting for you all to get up." Iris replied calmly. "But your cut-- Ami said to keep you from getting up--" "What cut?" Iris asked, taking another drink of the bitter brown concoction. "The one on your tummy, dummie. Hey, I just made a rythme. Tummy, Dummie." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh yeah. Stand up." Usagi ordered. Iris stood. Usagi walked over. "Lift up your shirt-- you now, so I can see your stomach." Iris pulled up her shirt a couple of inches. "What cut?" Iris asked again. "I know there was a cut. I remember feeling gui-- seeing it. Where is it?" Usagi asked, stepping back and tapping her foot. "Where'd ya hide it?" "Hide it? I didn't. It's gone. Be happy I can save your butts now." Iris sat back down. "What were you going to say? I might tell you where the cut went if you tell me that." Iris said, picking up her cup of coffe again. "Hehe, what do you mean?" "You said you remember feeling-- what?" "Um, nothing. I don't want to know how you made it go away." Usagi turned around, but Iris caught a glimpse of her face. It had an expression of sadness on it. "Why are you sad, little bunny?" Iris asked. "Litle bunny? Mamo-chan would call me his little moon bunny--" A tear slid down her face. "Who is Mamo-chan?" "Mamoru Chiba. He was my boyfriend-- Prince Endymion-- I don't suppose you remember--" "I do." "Oh. Well, he died when I was fighting Beryl-- said he'd come back-- he did, but-- he doesn't remember me!" Usagi started crying. "Well, we'll just have to go bust him around a few times until he DOES remember, won't we?" Iris smirked. Usagi giggled. "Uh-uh. *I* get to hit him first. He's not supposed to forget me. Luna said we had to wait until he got his memories back on his own, which could be forever, for all WE know. Geez, I don't even know if he CAN remember--" "Usagi, It's okay. He'll remember. And if he doesn't remember by the time we get rid of these DNA mistakes, I'll go to Japan with you and throw him around until he does remember. K?" "O-okay. Now, come on. I want you to show me where your arcade is." ~*~*~*~*~*~ "Geez. I really feel for them. They are just fourteen, and they've had to give up so much. Especially Minako. She's been doing this even longer." Daphne said. They were walking around the park, having dropped the senshi off at the local arcade. "I know. But I swear, they can be SO dense sometimes." "Why do you suppose they don't tell their parents?" "Why don't we?" Iris shot back. "Because this is America. You see how fans treqat celebrities. What would they do to a real live super hero?" Daphne asked. "Probably trample us in their attempts to be near us." Iris answered. "But why should Japan be any different?" "They have stricter laws." "Doesn't matter." Iris replied. "Hey, what the hell--?" She looked off in the distance. Daphne followed her gaze. A stream of dark energy met her eyes, and then it disappeared. "What was that?" "I dunno, but, as Luna would say, HENSHIN YO!" "What does that mean, anyway?" "Transform, I guess." "GOod idea." "AQUA POWER MAKE UP!" "PRYO POWER MAKE UP!" ~*~*~*~*~*~ Oakie Doakie! There's part whatever part that was. Thanx to all the people who e-mailed me, even the ones who Flamed me. No names. ~*~*~*~*~*~
