Chapter 9

Lita reached for her cup of crimson and looked over towards
the men casually laid out on the floor. �Do you think we did the right thing?�
she asked taking a sip.

�It�s a little late for that now,� Ami replied looking
through a magazine. She displayed the perfect calm personality despite the
turmoil that was swirling inside. The thought that they made a mistake had
crossed her mind, but she refused to admit it. Everything that went on from
this point would be their decision.

�It�s taking longer than I though it would.�

�Well they are going through our past, including our
predecessors.� Ami took a sip of crimson.

Lita nodded her head. �At least now that we have marked
them, they will be out of danger.�

�Or more obvious targets,� Ami pointed out turning a page.
�We still have enemies that think they can take us down.�

�This is stupid,� Lita replied jumping to her feet. �I was
hoping to spend the day relaxing not being on edge about what they are going to
think of us when they wake up.�

�Lita, calm down. We did what we had to do.� Lita sat back
down with her head in her hands. �Need I remind you that they followed us to an
Iota establishment and demanded answers in front of Yoko. They would have been
dragged off the moment we turned our backs.

�I know. I know, but this is not how I wanted to get the
ball rolling.� Lita looked at her watch. They had a few more hours until sunset
�We should check in. I was supposed to eat lunch with Mina today.�

�I think that would be wise.�

Lita shook her head then picked up the in house phone.
�Yoko, I would like a scotch on the rocks and a glass of water for my friend.
Make that two.�

�Yes, Lita-sama, you shall have it shortly,� Yoko said into
the phone, �and your humans, have you finished with them?�

�We�ll deal with them ourselves,� She replied. �Thanks.� She
hung up the phone.

�You make it sound like they�re boy toys or something,� Ami
commented. �I don�t need anything to drink, that�s how I got into this mess.�

�Oh please, we all know it has been too long since the last
time you�ve done. It was taking all of us to hold Mina back from setting you
up.� Lita shook her head. �You have to live a little. It�s okay.�

�I do date,� Ami said frostily as she went back to her
magazine. All this conversation was doing was fueling her annoyance. This was
all her fault. If it had not been for her, Zoicite and Nephrite would not have
come after them. Then the two of them would continue on ignorant of the
masquerade. There were times when she would rather give up everything for
normal life. Of course she did not know how normal life would be for her anyway,
she would live forever as long as no one killed her and once she did die, she
would just recycle and do the same thing again. She was doomed to this fate
until she passed the burden along to her daughter and then she could opt out to
dying and staying dead. She did not know which was worse surviving by being the
parasite or being the host. Regardless she was in this for the long haul and
she had resigned herself to the fact that she would be alone.

�I know you do.� Lita hugged her friend. �We all just want
happiness for everyone and even though Serena meddled in order for it to
happen, I am going to at least give it a shot. We all know it�s not easy for
her to be content as we all go home alone. I don�t know about you, but I would
like to have a family someday.�

The thought had crossed her mind, but she always figured
that her life would be too full answering life�s questions that she would not
need to relate to other people outside of her friends (they forced themselves
into her life in first place and it was difficult kicking them out). Her whole
life had been that way and she had become used to it. �You should call the
others before they start to worry.� Lita nodded and started dialing. This was
going to be a long story.

Zoicite sighed as he followed the Omega Elder, Yelsha. Once
they all escaped from the fabled hunters, he lost sight of Nephrite. Or more
accurately put they were no longer able to travel together. They would each
have to experience whatever they were to discover alone. It was times like this
that he wished her never opened his big, fat mouth.

Here he was, only heaven knew where he was, alone witnessing
someone else�s life. This whole situation failed to explain the presence of the
beautiful Ami and why he was drawn to her or her past. Well perhaps it would
explain just that, but patience was never his shining virtue. Another thing
that got him into trouble. �Get to the point,� he moaned in annoyance.

True to form the figure in front of him did not move or
acknowledge him in anyway. About the only thing that she did was look around as
though paranoid. She pulled her arms closely around her body. �I am safe,� she thought as she ducked
into the deserted building.

�I fail to see what can be found in a natural history
museum,� Zoicite mumbled. He was about to turn back when he felt it� a pulse similar
to a heart beat. A familiar pulse. He was in the right place after all. Both of
their paces quickened as they moved down the moonlit corridor. The waning
gibbous moon beamed down on them as they walked along. Why did all museums have
to have a creepy way about them? He for one loved natural history, but this
experience was turning into a bad horror movie.

A smiled crossed Yelsha�s face as she reached the door at
then end of the hall. She was so close to her goal after weeks of searching.
She reached for the handle then hissed as her form instantly became mist and
the door blew apart.

Zoicite jumped back in shock. He was quite grateful that he
was not actually there. �You can�t hide from me, vampire,� a female voice
called. A tall bronze woman stepped through the ruined portal holding her staff
defensively. Emerald eyes admired her statuesque beauty, hunter green locks and
crimson eyes; a rare combination. �I will not allow you to change the destiny
that has been etched out.�

�Just because the destination is known does not mean that
the path is known as well,� Yelsha replied. She had come too far. Her already
small clan had been sacrificed holding the hunters back and in helping her find
this place. The ice princess would not escape her grasp.

�Do not spout philosophical babble to me,� the guardian
snapped. �I have a watched them from the beginning. I suffered as they did and
I will not let you harm them now they have chance to be happy. My honor as a
senshi is on the line.�

�I don�t have anything to lose,� Yelsha replied taking a
corporeal form and attacking,

Setsuna blocked Yelsha�s clawed strike with her garnet rod.
Her eyes flew towards the stasis tube that Ami�s sleeping form was encased in
for her safety. During this crisis the girls started exhibiting signs of awakening,
the ice that protected Ami 500 years ago melted leaving her floating in
suspended animation.

Crimson eyes narrowed as she pushed the vampire back. Losing
any of her comrades was unacceptable. There was something amiss here. Why go
after Ami or any of the Queen�s court for that matter? As long as the Queen
remains unaffected, she would only heal her friends and destroy the demons.

If not for the weird tingling of intuition she would not be
here guarding Ami now. Protecting Serena was of the utmost priority. Haruka and
the other outers were more than capable of taking care of the sleeping queen.
Just a few more centuries and the cries of the innocents would be silenced and
they could go back to sleep. Though they had not been able to stop everything that
went on the past half millennia, they were able to keep it from spreading. Now that
they were on the verge of finishing only the most difficult of them remained.

�Tell me why do you go after the Princess of Mercury?�

�That�s my business, hunter,� Yelsha snarled as she lunged
at Setsuna again.

Setsuna blocked her attack and was soon pushed back. This
would have to end soon so she could get back to the others. �Setsuna,� Haruka�s
voice screamed into her earring communication device.

�What is it, Haruka?� Setsuna pushed the Elder back then
swept her with her rod. She jabbed at the area where the demon fell but missed.

Yelsha dodged Setsuna�s attack just barely missing being
stabbed in the heart. She was wasting time the Sun would be up soon and she
would be trapped in a strange place if this continued. �I know you can do
better than that, hunter. If you�re not careful, you will be the one to die.�

The Plutonian Senshi shook her dark locks. She knew how her
life ended and it was not at the hands of some low life parasite that fed off
the life force of innocents.

�We need you to get your ass back here,� Haruka answered.
�This vampire is more powerful than we thought. He�s already taken out
Hortaru.�

Setsuna nearly paused as her blood ran cold. �Is she��

�No, but she�s going to have one hell of a headache. We need
you here now. We�ll just have to take our chances. Serena can heal Ami when she
wakes up. She is our number one priority.�

Crimson eyes narrowed. As much as she hated having to pick
and choose lives, Haruka was right. They had a responsibility to Serena. �I�m
on my way.�

�Too busy to deal with me I see,� Yelsha taunted.

Setsuna said nothing only closed her eyes. Her planet attack
was entirely too powerful to use this close to Ami. The blue haired girl would
surely perish. Focusing her energy, through her staff an indigo colored energy
surrounded Setsuna. Various objects around the room began to rise up into the
air. Yelsha watched carefully trying to formulate a plan of counter attack.
Speed was her best option.

�Die,� Setsuna screamed suddenly Yelsha looked around wildly
trying to determine the direction of attack when she was suddenly thrown
against the wall. Tears welled up in her eyes in response to the pain. She was
staked to the wall by Setsuna�s energy. �We�re not done yet.�

A look of confusion passed over her features for a second
until the sun shone through the ceiling. The early morn rays fell about a foot
from her feet. By the end of the day if she wasn�t dead from blood loss, she
would be burned to a crisp. A double threat! This hunter was just as clever as
she was ruthless; however there was still one more hand to be played. �Touch�.�

Setsuna nodded. �You will answer me when I come back.� She
left the room.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yelsha�s mouth and she
looked towards the floating form of her prey. �This better be worth it.� she thought briefly before her body
misted.

Now free of the energy stake, Yelsha fell to her knees in
pain in her holy corporeal body. She crawled over to the ice princess�s prison
flinching as she moved into the brief shade. Once she was near her goal, she
managed to struggle to her feet using the stasis tube for support. A
bloody palm print marred the perfect glass. She had to move quickly. Her wound
would not heal without feeding and she was trapped in the room. The hallways
leading to her sunny prison were nothing but windows and in her wolf form she
would not be able to open the door to the main building. Besides after imprinting,
there would be nothing left. Her wound was too great. She had underestimated her
hunter. Of course physical confrontation was never her forte. She liked to
observe, strike, and move on, relying on tactics and wits.

�Where are my wits now?� she wondered. She brought her fist
back and cracked the casing of the tube. A starburst snaked in every direction
until the case shattered and spilled its contents. Yelsha�s flesh burned as she
reached for the blue girl to keep her from being crushed against the wall in
the rush of everything. The Senshi of Ice�.she should have expected the stasis
tube to be filled with water. No doubt it melted sometime over the millennia, a
strong indication that she would be waking up soon. �You are beautiful,� Yelsha
sighed running her blistered hands through midnight locks. This was to be her
successor. �I am entrusting you with my knowledge, history, and dreams; may I
live through you.� She bit the side of Ami�s neck.

Cobalt eyes shot open in shock and agony. She struggled
against the vice grip of her unknown attacker only to hit at the air. Her
movements started to become sluggish after a few moments and once her movement
slackened, Yelsha let go. The Elder watched hungrily as crimson flowed from the
girl�s body wanting to lap up every drop and knowing she could not. The Omega
slit her wrist then brought it up to Ami�s mouth. After some coaxing, the blue
haired girl began to lap up the crimson and Yelsha grew cold. �With my life I
make a pact with you. Know what I know. See what I have seen. Wield my power
and add to your own. Take it with my blessing.�

From the sidelines, Zoicite stood transfixed. He could
hardly process everything he had seen in the last hour. Now he understood why
the Elders had been reluctant about the imprinting. It was so final. A wave of
sadness washed over him as he watched Yelsha fall face first into the pool of
water around her. Her skin smoked form the contact, but she was already gone.
Now what was he going to do?

For an answer he got a bouncy blonde in short, orange, white
and blue fuku. She was familiar but he forgot from where. A somber expression
marred her classical features as she hesitated entering the room. She gingerly
made her way over to Ami. She was careful not kick up too much water, but
succeeded in splashing a couple of droplets here and there. A small blister
formed with every drop and the blonde flinched slightly but did not waver in
her destination. Why the hell was this girl familiar?

�By the gods,� he gasped in recognition. She was the blonde
from Jadeite�s show. They were both vampires. �This just keeps getting better
and better.� He shook his head. This was starting to overload him.

�You have seen enough.
Now you understand.�

Zoicite looked around startled when he suddenly felt like he
was suffocating. Emerald eyes shot open in the real world as their owner gasped
for air. Zoicite sat up quickly trying to shake off the disorientation. Lita
and Ami looked at him sympathetically as he continued on in ragged breaths.
Nephrite still lay out next to him unconscious.

Ami took a sip of water then handed him a glass of water.
Zoicite gulped it down in between breaths. It felt like months since he had
anything to drink. �Don�t drown yourself.� Lita warned. She nodded towards
Nephrite. �We will be here a little while longer.�

To be continued�
