~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am the cat who watches.

The waiting is the hardest part.  When Usagi and 
the others are gone, I can do little more than 
pray that they will be safe.  In those dark hours 
I recall every nasty thing I’ve ever said to her - 
and I regret it all.  Does she know how much she 
means to me?  I would give my life to protect her, 
but I’m so very small.  All I can do is wait.

I am the cat who watches, and waits.

                           -Luna.

	 Artemis nudged Luna awake with his head.
	
	"Luna, come look at this."

	She raised her head and looked at him 
sleepily. They had spent almost all of their 
time at Central Command ever since Usagi and 
the Senshi had left. They had searched the 
computer for anything and everything that could 
help them defeat this new enemy.

	So far the search had not been successful... 
until now.

	"Luna, come on, I think this might be 
important."

	The urgency in Artemis’ voice immediately 
had Luna up and she walked over to him to the 
main computer.

	"I know we’ve looked through practically 
all of the files in this thing but I think we 
missed one," he pressed a button with his paw 
and the symbol of Pluto came spinning slowly 
into view.  

	Artemis pressed another button and immediately 
a file was processed.

	"Look, and read carefully."

	Luna squinted her eyes and began to read. 
A while later, her eyes grew large and she inhaled 
sharply. How could they have missed something so 
vitally important?

	"I’d say we’ve found our key out of this 
Chronos mess, wouldn’t you say?"

	"Kami, how-how could we not know about 
this? How could we *not* know about her?"

	"Luna, my dear, I’ve come to learn in the 
past few weeks... there are many things we don’t 
know about."  

~~~~~~~~

	Motoki and Reika stepped out of the portal 
and found themselves in Juban Park.

	"Well, at least we’re in a familiar place," 
Motoki said dryly.

	"Right, let’s just go back home."

	He felt a little surge of joy at the use 
of the word ‘home’ and wrapped his arm around 
her waist as they began walking.

	"Motoki, have you noticed that there’s no 
one around?"

	He stopped his ponderings and looked around. 
Reika was right, no else was in the area except 
them. "Maybe it’s a holiday or something. We’ve 
been away for so long, we don’t know how much time 
has passed."

	"You might be right," she began reluctantly, 
but stopped when she saw what was ahead of her.

	A soldier in full combat gear was walking 
towards them carrying some kind of weapon.

	"Who are you?" he asked, when he stood in 
front of them.

	The couple looked at each other, unsure of 
how to answer.

	"Furuhata Motoki and Kiro, Reika, citizens 
of Tokyo."

	Apparently the soldier wasn’t satisfied with 
their answer.  They abruptly found that he was now 
pointing his gun at them.

	"What are you really? Human or youma?"

	Reika gasped in outrage and pushed the gun 
away from them. "What do you think we look like? 
We are humans, you baka! What right do you have 
asking us such a question?"  

	The soldier looked confused for a moment 
but then straightened. "I have strict orders to 
question anyone who might look suspicious."

	"Hold on," Motoki interrupted. "What do 
you mean by suspicious?"

	The soldier peered at them and then grinned, 
relaxing his stance. "You two must be new around 
here. Haven’t you watched the news lately?"

	Motoki began to feel a sense of dread crawl 
up his spine. "What’s been going on around here?"

	"The youma attacks! They’ve increased tenfold 
in these last few weeks so everyone is advised to 
stay indoors. It’s dangerous out here and since the 
Senshi aren’t helping us, the government has to do 
something," he finished proudly.

	"Kami, Motoki, I think we’ve been away for 
too long," Reika mumbled.  

	Motoki opened his mouth to say more but 
before he could do so, a ball of energy hit the 
soldier and he screamed as his body convulsed 
with the electricity that took hold of him.

	Reika screamed and Motoki pushed her to 
the ground.  He lifted his head to see a 
ferocious looking youma heading towards them.

	"We have to get out of here!" he yelled 
as he lifted himself of the ground with Reika.

	"But the soldier!"

	They began to run and Motoki glanced back. 
The man lay there unmoving and Motoki knew it 
was too late. "Just keep running."

	They ran out of the park and Motoki led her 
to his apartment. They reached his door and Motoki 
inserted the key into the lock. The door opened 
and they came face to face with... Chronos.  
	
	"Shimatta!" Motoki shoved Reika away from 
the door but Chronos grabbed him by the neck and 
hauled him inside. The door slammed shut as 
Reika got to her feet.

	"NO!" she screamed and ran to the door, 
pounding her fists on it. "No! Motoki, onegai, 
let me in!" She tried the knob desperately and 
found it was stuck. She pounded her fists against 
the wood as tears streamed down her face. Who 
knew what that bastard would do to him.

	"Let me in!" she screamed. "Let me in! 
Motoki! Onegai, let me in!" She slid to the 
floor, her head against the door as she began 
to cry. "Motoki," she sobbed hoarsely. "Aishiteru..."

	Inside Motoki was thrown into the air and 
landed on his couch as Chronos loomed over him.

	"Give me the ring, boy. You don’t want to 
anger me," he hissed.

	"Iie! Never. I know what you plan to do 
and believe me, I won’t let you get away with 
it."

	"You don’t know what kind of danger you’re 
putting your girl in, boy. In each room next to 
yours there are some very hungry youmas just 
waiting for a good meal. Your girl would make a 
delightful appetizer for them," he said, 
smiling viciously.

	"You’re lying!"

	"Maybe, but then again, do you want to test 
me? With a snap of my fingers those doors will 
fall away and all you’ll find left of her are 
pieces of her fle-"

	"Stop! I’ll give you the ring... but only 
if you’ll let her in first."

	"Fair deal." He thrust out his hands toward 
the door and it opened and in an instant, Chronos 
held Reika by the neck as she began to gasp for 
air.

	"Do it boy, and hurry up. I don’t think 
she’ll be able to hang on for too long."

	Motoki rushed into the bathroom and pulled 
out the ring from a secret compartment under the 
sink. He came back into the living room, holding 
up the ring.

	"Let her go and I’ll throw you the ring."

	"You don’t want to test me boy, give me 
the ring."

	Motoki saw Reika gasping and threw the ring. 
At the same time Chronos threw Reika at him so that 
they both fell to the floor, Motoki taking the 
impact.

	Chronos clutched the ring and then slipped 
it onto his finger. He began to laugh loudly.  
Turning to look at them he began to glow. "You 
don’t know what you’ve done, boy. Your girl’s 
life wasn’t worth this." His laughter grew louder 
and he raised his arms to the ceiling.

	A gale force wind began to blow around the 
room causing papers and small things to fly. 
Small flashes of lightening hit Chronos but they 
didn’t seem to effect him. In fact, he seemed to 
welcome them, the electricity coursing through 
him causing him to laugh hysterically. 

	Motoki shielded Reika with his body as they 
huddled in a corner. In just a few minutes all 
was silent again except for the flapping of papers 
floating back to the ground.

	"Motoki, are you alright?" Reika asked, 
holding his face.

	"Kami, Reika, what have I done?" Motoki 
moaned. "What have I done?"

~~~~~~~~~

	A little snug, but it would do. That was 
Sailor Venus clone's first thought as she pulled 
on a one-piece gold body suit that God Chronos 
has so thoughtfully provided her with.  

	Her black eyes scanned her image in the 
mirror for a second longer. Thin legs, small 
waist, medium bust, topped off by long blonde 
hair. "Ohhh.. but I'm hot!" she giggled to 
herself. A hand ran up her arm and she turned 
expectantly.

	"Yes, Love Child. You are very sensual, but 
that is not your main concern. What is your main 
concern?"

	The clone lowered her gaze and studied her 
feet.  "To destroy the Sailor Senshi, Your 
Lordship." She paused for a moment and looked 
back up. "What have they ever done?  I thought 
I was one of them... or something?"

	"*YOU*" he spat. "Are nothing more than 
the power of Senshi Venus, contorted by my own 
musings. *I* am your master." He turned on his 
heel and headed for the exit. "Don't forget 
that deary," his old voice floated back in the 
room.

	"Don't listen to him," another, more 
feminine voice, whispered. Venus turned in 
circles, searching for the voice's owner. 

	"Where are you? Who are you?" she 
demanded.

	The shadows of the room parted, allowing 
a solitary figure to come forth. She stepped 
closer to the clone, staring at her. "You don't 
have to listen to him. He is *not* your master. 
You have more power than him. Look at him, old 
and worthless. He should have died long ago." 
She brought her hand up and raised the hood 
that had covered her face. A spill of green 
hair, streaked here and there with gray, flowed 
out and down her back. Her eyes were friendly 
and serene. 

	"I don't understand. Where did I come from? 
He says I am nothing but the power of Venus?" The 
clone's eyes flashed blue for a second and a 
solitary tear slipped down her face.

	"My child, you are more than power. You have 
love and kindness. May the Gods bless the fact that 
he did not give you enough dark power to corrupt 
such a beautiful soul. You can re-join the body you 
belong in and as one, you can help the Sailor Senshi 
destroy him; The God of Time. I promise you child, 
Hades, The God of the Under World, would love to 
have him frying in an ocean of fire."  The old 
woman chuckled at the thought.

	"Re-join the body I belong in? Where is 
this body?"

	The old woman took her by the elbow and 
together they walked towards the room where six 
Sailor Senshi lined the walls, bond up by chains.

~~~~~~

	"Sources have said that conditions will 
only become worse as the youma attacks increase. 
Many wonder if there is any hope since the 
Senshi seem to be gone and-"

	Kenji turned the television off and sighed.

	"It’s bad, isn’t it?" Ikuko asked, hugging 
her arms around her waist.

	Kenji turned around and saw his wife 
standing behind him, a strained expression on 
her face.

	"It’ll be okay, love, everything will go 
back to normal once..."

	"Once our daughter comes back, ne? Demo... 
how will we know? We don’t know how she is, if 
she’s alive, injured or even-"

	"Shhh, Ikuko, don’t say it," Kenji replied, 
wrapping his arms around her. However, she moved 
out of his embrace and walked over to the draped 
windows. She moved the curtain aside slightly to 
look out.

	"How can I not say it? How can I not think 
it?"  she asked, her voice rising. "My daughter, 
my only daughter, is out there, somewhere, fighting 
who knows what and we have no idea if she’ll ever 
come back... to us," her voice lowered to a hoarse 
sob.

	She slowly fell to the floor on her knees, 
her hands covering her face. "I’m not even her 
real mother," she sobbed. "Does she even think 
about us? Does she remember us as she fights? 
After all, in her past life, her real mother 
must have been better than me, more powerful, 
more beautiful-"  

	"Ikuko, stop this!" Kenji knelt down beside 
her and took hold of her shoulders, shaking her 
slightly. "Stop it, you can’t think like that. 
Usagi loves both of her mothers equally, she 
doesn’t favor any of you more than the other. 
And I know she’ll come back to us," Kenji said, 
determinedly. 

	"Apparently, she’s saved the world before, 
countless times, and she’ll do it again. I have 
faith in Usagi and you should too. Don’t lose 
faith, Ikuko, never lose faith!"

	From the top of the stairs Shingo watched 
his parents as they stood near the window. He 
turned back, breathing heavily. His mother’s 
words had shaken him deeply.

	To never see her again...

	He stopped in the doorway of her room. 
Pink. He had always teased her about it, made 
fun of her, fought with her. Would he ever be 
able to do that again?

	Should he have been nice to her those 
last few days she had stayed at home? 

	He had acted like his usual self and she 
had responded like her usual self - by 
screaming and chasing after him.

	But now, should he be feeling regret for 
acting like that, not realizing those would be 
the last times they shared together? He 
inhaled sharply, feeling something clutch his 
heart. He wanted to smile; he had always 
thought it impossible to actually feel any sort 
of emotion for his sister other than enmity.

	A choked sob escaped him and he was 
horrified by it's sound.

	"Usagi... come back."
