Michiru thought her heart was going to burst as a wave of almost pure emotion ran over her so strong washed over her causing her to fall to her knees in almost a wave of exhaustion. It felt like someone was sucking her entire supply of energy out of her. What was going on and why was this woman having such an effect on her? Michiru stumbled trying to balance herself hoping she hadn't in turn scared the poor girl to death.

Hotaru was walking from her class towards a place for food when she saw Michiru talking to a girl with short blonde hair. The girl was pretty. All of the sudden she saw Michiru start to fall towards the ground. So Hotaru ran towards her, hoping to catch her before she fell to the ground. As she got there Michiru caught herself. "Michiru are you okay?" Hotaru asked running over, "What happened?"

Michiru felt herself being caught by two frail arms trying to balance her.

"oh hotaru-chan where am I? I feel like I'm about to pass out! Where's Haruka? Did she run away?" she asked blankly still feeling the megnetic force between herself and the other girl.

"She's still here Michiru." Hotaru said, "Have you eaten anything today or had any water yet? Maybe that's why you feel like you're about to pass out." Hotaru was worried about Michiru. Although she didn't know her that well, this didn't seem like her. Maybe she was sick, maybe her senshi powers were too exhausting, or maybe a youma was stealing her energy. Hotaru had no clue, but with the other girl still here she couldn't voice any of these opinions or find out where Luna had gone even though she was supposed to be with Michiru.

"Here, I've got her," Haruka said hurriedly, worried about this girl more than she should be worried about someone she had just met. She took Michiru in her strong arms and helped her balance against the stone wall bordering the sidewalk. The same wall upon which she met the black cat just a short time ago.

She smoothed Michiru's hair back from her face. It was a very bold move for someone like Haruka, but she couldn't help but feel like she was supposed to take care of this girl she barely knew.

She turned to smaller dark-haired girl next to her, "Let's get her inside and something to eat, I think that'll help."

Michiru felt her cheeks color when the girl picked her up and especially the warm fuzzy feeling she was getting once the girl smoothed her hair back. She would have snapped anyone else's head off if they'd made such a bold move as the one this girl just had, but she didn't seem to care. After the girl picked her up she felt the feeling disappear as if she was supposed to be close to this girl for some reason. She felt safe with her and like she could really trust her something she didn't feel around many people. She felt so vulnerable in her arms and sighed when she smelt the girls sweet jasmine perfume an intoxicating scent Michiru just couldn't shake.

" thank you for doing that Haruka." Michiru said as she boldy tucked a lock of hair behind the tall girls ear.

(I believe we were treating it like a PG-13 movie those rules were never really clear in my opinion so if there's no swearing then PG then? Just asking)

(I acknowlege that I have read Saturn's post. )

"Okay." Hotaru said smiling to the short haired girl. As the girl carried Michiru inside Hotaru felt a connection with her and it seemed that Michiru did too. As they got Michiru inside and put her down. Everything seemed to be falling into place. This girl may be one of the senshi. Hotaru thought. As soon as she found Luna she'd let her know about this other girl as well as ask her about the green haired girl. Hotaru was lost in thought when she realized that the table was awkwardly silent. "Hi." Hotaru said to the short haired girl, "My name's Hotaru Tomoe. Thank you for helping me get her in here. I'd have never been able to carry her." Hotaru smiled at the girl and hoped for a response.

(I have read your post Saturn)



Rei sat at her usual place in the library. A small table on a fourth floor hidden behind bookshelves. She had her laptop out and books were scattered across the table. She was currently working on a paper for one of her major classes. She was busy flipping through a book when she heard voices. She ignored them at first, but they kept getting louder. She looked up from her book and saw two students standing behind a bookshelf which was next to her table. Rei tried to go back to her book, but the students would not stop talking.

"Did you hear about that incident that happen at that university a few miles from here?" asked the one student to his friend.

"Yeah, I saw it on a news last night. I wonder what caused it," answered the friend. "I'm glad nothing strange happens around our campus's cafes."

Rei couldn't take it anymore. She closed her book and marched over to the two students.

"Excuse me this is the fourth floor," she said trying to sound polite. "No talking is allowed. If you want to chat please go to down to the other floors."

The two students didn't say a word and just left. Rei went back to her table and opened her book back up. Before she could start reading, her phone buzzed. She sighed angrily and closed her book once again. She flipped her phone open and saw a text message from Ami.

Rei read the message and let out another sigh. Ami wanted to go shopping with her today around four. Rei really wanted to get this paper done, but she hasn't seen Ami in awhile. So she replied back saying she would go. Rei then closed her phone and gathered her belongings. It was three o' clock and she needed to get ready for shopping date with Ami.

Makoto still couldn't get over all the strange things that had been happening to her. She was aware that the cafe had blown up, but she still couldn't shake the images of the horrible monster she had imagined attacked her or was it imaginary to begin with? She felt like there had been something her aqua haired friend had been hiding from her and what was the deal with the new girls michiru seemed to be hanging around with especially that tall green haired girl. She was totally not michiru "clique" material. She sighed heading towards the mall. She had a photo shoot that afternoon for a new line of juicy couture that was coming out soon, and she didn't want to be late. She walked towards her green Mercedes and got in and headed to the mall for her big shoot.

R&U

Haruka snapped out of her trance of looking worriedly at Michiru, forgetting the smaller girl had even been with them. She felt her cheeks flush as she looked to the seat opposite Michiru.

"Haruka Tenou," she replied, bowing awkwardly even though she was sitting, "It's no problem, really. I'm glad she seems to be okay..."

She looked towards Michiru again, her cheeks flushing once again, as she got up from her seat. "I... um, how about I get something for us to eat? I'm sure she'll be back to normal after she gets some food in her."

Haruka couldn't imagine why she was feeling familiarity towards the dark-haired girl as well. Could she have met them before? She didn't think so... she had to get away from them a moment to clear her head. And she knew the food would do Michiru well.

Michiru felt Hotaru waving a hand in front of her face trying to get her to snap out of it. Michiru blinked when she noticed Haruka had gone to get food. She couldn't get over how sweet it had been of her to bring her into the cafe on the opposite side of campus until it hit her. They were in another cafe... The negaverse had blown up another cafe. michiru couldn't help but shiver when she sat by Hotaru as she prayed the negaverse left them alone. Michiru blinked and looked surprisingly at the food placed in front of her: a pumpkin spice bagel and a latte.

"Haruka how did you know that I always order a pumpkin spice bagel and a latte when I come here?" she blinked in disbelief.

Ami sat in her limo outside of Rei's school waiting for her friend. She was about to send another text message when the car door opened.

"Hey snow white!" Ami giggled to her friend. Snow White has a nick name Ami gave Rei since her hair reminder her of well...Snow White.

Ami and Rei began talking about their day when the limo hit a pot hole, which caused Ami's purse to roll onto the floor and spill out the contents. Rei laughed as Ami hurriedly picked up what was falling out, possibly trying to hide whatever was in there from Rei. It was most likely one of her anime themed pens or key chain that was trying to be hidden. It was a side of Ami that no one, but Rei knew.

When they arrived at the mall, Ami put on a hat and pulled it down to cover her face. She didn't want to be recognized, since she was the biggest super star in her district of Tokyo. While walking into the mall, Ami caught a glimpse of a greyish white cat staring at her. When she turned her head, the cat was gone.

Rei and Ami went to their usual store. The moment they walked into the store Ami immediately started looking at clothes. Rei just followed her around glancing at the clothes. There were several outfits she wanted to try on, but there was no way she could afford any of them. After her father's trail Rei's family suffered financially. Her mother had to pull double shifts at work. Not only to support their family, but to prove that she was a good surgeon. A lot rumors went around about her mother being a terrible surgeon like her father.

Ami's hands were full of the clothes. She went off to the dressing room. Rei stood outside waiting for her friend to show off the clothes. She lean against another dressing room's door. Ami took forever to get dress. She glanced over at the three way mirror and noticed a greyish white cat. Rei looked the other way and saw there was no cat in the dressing room. She looked back at the mirror and can only see herself. She shook head and told herself stress from school must be getting to her.

"Ami, are you almost done?" she asked her friend trying to forget about the cat.

Makoto grumbled as she was led into the store by her agent dragging her along as papporatzi buzzed around her like flys full of questions.

"Kino-San are you secretly still seeing shinji tamura?" one piped in making her grumble under her breath dodging the question. She and shinji had decided to take a break in their relationship becAuse of the new movie he was filming but everyone had already started rumors they had broken up, they were secretly engaged, she was pregnant and he had left and the rumor list went on.

Makoto threw her hands up in the air as she walked through the double doors in the back of the store noticing two girls around her age looking at clothes. The paporattzi were then made to leave the store and Makoto sighed feeling peace of mind until she felt her phone buzz and seen a text from her friend Ami she had met through the modeling agency a few years ago. The text said,

Didn't I tell you to keep your head covered?

Makoto laughed to herself as she sent her another text.

Would you and your friend like to come back and watch my photo shoot awhile?

Makoto then closed her phone as she waited for Amis reply but couldn't help seeing a white greyish speck out of the corner of her eye.

ooc

Spoiler:

Ami offered to buy Rei anything she wanted, since clothes shopping was nothing compared to the amount of money she had. But as always, Rei declined due to feeling weird if she did accept.

Ami got a text from Makoto and replied:

I actually promised to hang out with Rei tonight, why not stop at my apartment when you are done?

Spoiler:

Makoto smiled as she sent another text message, "What time?"

makoto yawned as a makeup artist began placeing a tightening mask all over face and cucumbers over her eyes as she finally relaxed enjoying the euphoria for a bit. She then thought about bringing a dish over to Amis that night of some sort. Despite being a model and a makeup artist Makoto loved to bake. It was kind of a hidden passion of hers but tonight picking up some Chinese food might be best because there was no way she would have time to cook anything betwee the time the gig was over and by the time she went to ami's.

Spoiler:

Rei and Ami were making their way to the "Fancy Pants" restaurant in the mall when Ami received another text.

Actually, if you have time, we are going to Fancy Pants to eat, if you wanna join us?

Ami hung the phone up and looked over by a pottery placed on a ledge by the water fountain in the center of the mall. The strange grey cat was there staring intently and her and Rei. Ami made her way to the cat, when it blinked and darted out the door outside.

"That's strange" Ami said to herself.

"What's strange?" asked Rei and walked over to her friend.

She was shocked to see that the cat was real. Then again it was good to know that her stress wasn't getting to her.

Makoto was about to courteously text back no she couldn't until she heard a loud crash as an important set piece had broken into a thousand splintery pieces. She heard the manager groan and begin to cuss out the choreographers and then Makotos agent told her the shoot would have to be canceled until the set piece could be replaced and Makoto sighed as she quickly text ami back saying she'd be there in 5 minutes. Makoto walked out of the store with a fresh makeup job and a pair of shades to keep the pappratzzi down. She walked towards the restaurant until she noticed that Greyish cat again. It stared at her intently with its big cat eyes and meowed. She blinked wondering why this cat was in the middle of the mall.

"Did you escape from the pet store little kitty?" Makoto cooed affectionately as she rubbed the cats head. She averted her gaze a minute and then the cat was gone.


"Did I imagine it all?" she blinked shaking the paranormal feeling from her as she proceeded towards the restaurant seeing Ami and a girl she had never met before.

"konnichiwa ami-chan!" Makoto greeted brightly then turning to the other girl.

"Who's this?" she inquired smiling warmly.

Haruka blushed and looked away, feeling her heart racing again. She was going to have a heart attack at this rate if she didn't calm down. "I'm not sure..... It just felt like the thing to order," she replied smiling cutely and cocking her head to the side before she handed Hotaru a bento, and sat down to her own meal.

In all that was going on with Michiru, she didn't even think to obsessively check her phone as she always did, and was startled when it went off. She ignored it though, still captivated by the people in front of her.

"Are you feeling better now, Michiru-san?" Haruka asked, popping open her strawberry ramune and taking a long drink. Carrying Michiru had taken its toll on her body.

Michiru blinked taking a piece of the bagel and popping it in her mouth still blushing slightly as she took in Harukas appearance. She was a very cute girl she noted and then there was the turmulet heart beating again,but she was startled when she heard a phone going off.

"Haruka-chan I think someone's calling you." Michiru pointed out startling the tall blond as she fumbled for her phone and promptly answered it.

Hotaruwatched as Michiru and Haruka talked. After waving her hand in front of Michiru's face to snap her out of it. She just sat back and listened to the two talk. When HAruka picked up the phone Hotaru quietly whispered to Michiru, "Do you also feel like you know her? Also where's Luna?" Hotaru was hoping that Michiru was having the same gut feeling that she was. Maybe this girl was a senshi and if she could find Luna they would know for sure.

Michiru blinked at the possibility of Haruka being a senshi. She really wasn't all that sure about it until Hotaru mentioned it. Michiru watched Haruka intently as she chatted on the phone and whoever it was seemed to make her giddy and nervous all at once like she might explode from happiness. Michiru tried to focus her energy on this girl until an image of two persons identical to she and Haruka dancing in a ballroom full of attendants came to her mind.The clothing they wore was very Victorian like as if she was watching a scene of a past life, but she quickly dismissed it causing the image her mind had just conjured to dissipate.

" I'm not sure hotaru-chan, but I will say this she is emitting a strong energy that completly leaves me feeling nostalgic." she whispered.

"Oh okay." Hotaru whispered, "I think I'm going to go. I've got to go find Luna. I'll let her know what's going on and see if she's picked up on the energy from Haruka." She got up and went to leave. She turned to Haruka and said, "Bye! It was nice meeting you." Hotaru smiled. When she got out of the building she started to look for Luna. She went to the garden where they first met and there she was. "Luna!" Hotaru called.

"Hotaru what is it?" Luna asked.

"Did you sense anything from the girl with the long green hair? Also Luna did you sense anything form a girl with short blonde hair?" Hotaru asked, "Michiru and I just met her and we both sense power from her."

Rei smiled back and said, "I'm Hino Rei. You're Kino Makoto?" Rei has only heard about this girl from Ami. However Ami didn't say much about her. All Rei knew about this girl was that she a model. Judging by the way she greeted Ami and her warm smiled she seem like a nice person. So hopefully the three them will have a nice dinner together.

Makoto smiled brightly," Ah Hino-San! Ami-chan has said so many good things about you! She told me that you're going to be a lawyer! Is that true?" Makoto inquired as she took a seat at the table they had seated themselves at.

Rei turned slightly pink from embarrassment. Ami said that much about her?

"Yes, I am," she replied with a smile. "I want to become a defense lawyer. So you're a model like, Ami?"

Makoto nodded with a big smile still plastered on her face, "Yes I actually had a photo shoot scheduled at Juicy Couture this afternoon but one of the cherographers messed up one of the main props for the set." she sweat dropped.

"My plans got canceled, but I guess there's a reason why I'm supposed to be here and I hope to be through with modeling in a few more years. My real dream is to be a makeup artist." she elaborated placing one leg over the other.

"I only got this job because I got noticed by the right person at the right time and if I hadn't i would probably still be working three jobs." she shrugged.
