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!"
