Have you ever
Chapter: 6
Rateing: PG/PG-13
Hey guys! Ok. I know my last chapter bit the big
one... so, hopefully this makes up for it, k? Just, if
you flame me be gentle. I don't own the characters of
Sailor Moon. I 'm just borrowing them to have two
charcters date cause I think they're a cute couple...
even if they are both girls... Oh, well. Thanks to the
wonderful Jade Max for helping me with my indexs. She
didn't have to do it, but she does and NO you can't
ask her she's mine... ALL MINE...::Heather blushes::
Ok, now I'm acting weird... here's the story. ENJOY!!
Mercury looked at Seijuurou. She couldn't believe he
was the black wolf that continued to help her. She was
shocked to say the least.
"I can't believe it was you," She said.
"I'm surprised," Seijuurou said. "I thought you would
remember me. But, I should have known. Your memories
were taken from you." He sat down and looked at her.
Mercury sighed," they weren't taken from me. I lost
them and then regained them. But, they're... a
little..." she couldn't find the right words.
"Spacey," he offered. Mercury nodded. "There is a
reason for that... I think."
Mercury knew he was not going to hurt her, so she
detransformed. "Why?"
"Well, during the Silver Millenium, very few
Mercurians knew of our race. Even the legends are a
mystery to me." Seijuurou detransformed back to Bryce.
"The only real legend I know is this: about a million
years befor the Silver Millienium, my race came to
your galaxy. They were a very destructive people."
Bryce walked over to the bench he and Ami had been
sitting on earlier. Ami followed him. "The Mercurians
were able to defeat us, but some actually helped the
Mercurians. After the battle, what was left of the
"pack", my people, were allowed to stay on Mercury.
But, like a river, time and history repeats itself. At
the begining of the Silver Millenium, the Pack slpit
again. The 'Evil Ones' as they so called themselves
combined forces with the Nega Force. During the fight
with Beryl, everything and evryone on every other
palnet was destoyed. Except Earth." Bryce paused and
turned to Ami.
"How were you reborn," Ami asked.
"I was never reborn..."
"Then," Ami asked. "How are you still alive?"
Bryce sighed. "The Pack has a life of that of the
Royal Moon family. We live until we are killed. We age
only so far. Blaze and Myself are the last of our kind
and the only ones to survive the war."
"Didn't you fight," Ami asked.
"I did. But, something hit me and I was knocked
out.The others must have thought I was dead. That's
how I survived. Blaze, on the other hand, lasted long
enough to be banished with Beryl and her army. After
she was killed, he was able to escape. You're lucky
you didn't have to fight him."
"Oh..." Ami didn't know what to say. Luna never
mentioned anything of The Pack. She thought she heard
someone talking and looked back up at Bryce. "What?"
" I said, do you still trust me?" He seemed concerned.
Ami smiled. "Yes. Thank you. You seemed to have filled
in some holes in my memory."
"I'm glad," Bryce said with his cute smile. He stood
and strecthed. "What are we gonna do about the
Scouts?"
Ami looked at him, "do you want them to know?"
"Not really..."
"Then," Ami said while walking to his side, "they
won't know."
He smiled. "Come on. I'll walk you home."
"Hey, Bryce," Ami asked. He looked at her from the
cornor of his eye. "Can you transform into a gargoyle,
too?"
"Yeah...," Bryce smiled. "But I don't change into that
form unless I absoulutley have to. I like my normal
wolf form better." They smiled at each other. "So,
Blue. Are we still on for tomorrow night?"
**********
(later that night)
Ami tossed in her sleep. With out warning she screamed
as loud as she could.. "JUPITER!! ... NO!
...STOP!!!... PUT HER DOWN, PLEASE!! JUPITER!!!" Ami
was still screaming and crying when Lita came into her
room.
"Ami? Ami, wake up!" Lita shook the girl until Ami
shot up and nearly made Lita fall off the bed. Ami
stared at the wall ahead of her in pure fear. She had
the dream again. And, she was starting to get worried.
"Ami?"
"Huh," Ami asked. She didn't even see Lita by her
side.
"You ok? You were screaming bloody mureder," Lita
asked with concern.
Ami blinked a few time before answering. "Yeah, I'm
fine. Just a nightmare."
"Wanna talk about it?" Lita hated to see Ami so
scared.
"No. I'll be ok. Go back to bed, Lita."
Lita gave her a look and sighed. "Alright, Ames. See
ya in the morning." With that, Lita got up and left
Ami's room.
Ami sighed and laid back down. "I gotta stop this
dream from coming true. I know who the gargoyle is.
It's gotta be Blaze. But, why were we on a caslte
tower?"
"Ami," a deep voice growled.
Ami jumped. She was a liitle scared, but she had her
transfermation stick if she needed it. "W-w-who's
there?"
A shadow emerged from her window. It was a gargoyle!
Ami tensed.Senseing this, the gargoyle spoke, "It's me
Ami. Bryce. Actually, Seijuurou."
Ami relaxed. Seijuurou walked to her bed and looked at
her. "What do you want," Ami whispered.
"I need your help. I found an egg that hatched one of
my kind. But..."He stopped. His black face was very
concerned. Ami could not only sense it, but see as
well. "You have to help me. You're the only one who
can. Will you, please?" He sounded so scared.
"Yes." Ami crawled out of her bed and transformed.
Seijuurou picked her up and jumped out of the 7th
story window. His wings caught a draft and they were
airborne.
"Where are we going," Mercury asked.
"To a place that is hidden from the Earth," he
answered.
"Where's that?" Before she could get an answer, a
portal opened in front of them. Mercury was concerned
until she realised it was Sei that had opened it.
When they entered his world, Mercury became tense.
This looked to be the same world as her dream had
taken place in. It was dark...lifeless. It chilled her
to the bone.
Seijuurou swooped down into a cave near a river. After
he entered the mouth of the cave, he landed, and
placed Mercury on her feet. "This way," he said. They
walked for 15 minutes before reaching stairs. "We have
to walk up this fleight of stairs to reach him." He
kneeled in front of them. "Climb on my back, we'll get
up there faster if I carry you and run." Mercury did
as she was told and clung to him by the fur on his
neck.
After raceing up the stairs, Seijuurou let Mercury
off. "What's wrong with him," Mercury asked.
"I'm not sure. The only thing I noticed was his wings
were twice the size they should be for his age." They
walked a few more minutes before reaching a door.
"He's in here." He opened the door and let Mercury
enter first. She saw a small gargoyle baby laying on
it's stomache. It looked like it was having trouble
breatheing. Mercury stepped closer and her suspicions
were right. But, what was causing it?
She tapped her earring and her visor appeared over
her eyes. She then took out her mini-computer and
began to scan the small gargoyle. What she discovered
nearly made her cry. It's wings were so big that they
were aplling too much preesure on it's chest. He was
slowly choking to death.
Un-activating her visor, Mercury turned to Seijuurou.
"I have to remove his wings immediatley. They're so
big he's slowly sufforcating."
Seijuurou nodded. "I'll be right back." He left and a
few minutes later returned with a steel table and a
few operating tools. "Will these work?"
Mercury sighed and looked over at the small 'child.'
It'll have to..."
(2 hours later)
Seijuurou was out in the hall. Mercury asked him to
leave while she performed the operation. He was on
pins and needles... he was so worried for the small
hatchling. Just then, the door opened and Mercury
walked out.
"Well?..." Sei couldn't take it any more.
Slowly Mercurly looked up at him. Then she smiled, "he
should be fine. But, he'll never be able to fly."
"I don't care," Sei said. "Just as long as he's safe.
One day, he'll understand. Can I go in?" Mercury
nodded. Sei walked into the room and smiled at what he
saw. The small wolf-gargoyle was curled up on the bed
he was on earlier and seemed to be breathing easier.
After an hour, Seijuurou brought Mercury back to
Lita's apartment. He slowly climbed into her window
and placed her on her feet. "Thank you, Ami." She
blushed. "Well, how does it feel?"
"How does what feel," she asked confused.
"To know your first operation was a success?"
Again, she smiled. "I need to go to bed. I need at
least an hour's sleep before morning." Sei smiled.
"Look at your clock." Mercury turned to face her
clock. It had only been 15 minutes since she had left
the apartment.
"How?..."
"I don't know. But the portal has a different time
flow than Earth." Sejuurou bowed. "I must leave. Good
night, Mercury. And thank you." Then he left the same
way he came that night. Ami sighed, de-transformed and
climbed into bed. After all of that, she needed the
sleep.
Lita laid in her room stareing at the ceiling. She
couln't stop thinking about Ami. But, something was
different about her. Like she was hiding something
from her. But she couln't put her finger on it. After
she had left Ami's room, she saw a giant shadow leave
from her building but ignored it.
Since Ami had been here, she was hopeing that they'd
grow closer. But, to Lita, it seemed to be quite the
oppisite. Lita didn't know what to do. When Ami
returned to the apartment that night, she told Lita
she was going out the next night with a guy. Bryce no
less! Lita couldn't stand him for some reason. Maybe
it was because he showed an interest in Ami. And Ami
seemed to return those feelings. It was tearing Lita
apart. How could Ami possiably learn to love her? Lita
kept thinking.
Sighing, Lita rolled over to face the window. The
gently falling snow soon sung Lita to sleep...
(the next night(time travels fast, doesn't it?))
The door bell rang loudly through the small apartment.
Lita quickly went to answer it, although she hated to
see who was behind it. But, minding her manners and
wanting to make Ami happy, she let him in without so
much as a snide remark. "Good evening, Bryce," Lita
said warmly. "How are you this evening?"
"I'm fine. These are for you," and he handed Lita a
dozen yellow carnations. "I hope you like them."
"Thank you," Lita blushed. "What are they for?"
"I feel as though we got off on the wrong foot. I hope
this makes up for it." Bryce smiled.
"Thank you, again. But you didn't..." Bryce cut her
off.
"I know I didn't have to. But, I wanted to. Friends,"
he asked streaching out his hand. She smiled and shook
it. If Lita couldn't be with Ami, she wanted Ami to be
with Bryce. She knew he'd treat Ami right.
"And, I brought these for Ami," Bryce said revaling
two dozen blue roses. "I bought white roses and put
blue food dye in the water to get them this color...
if you're wondering." He smiled again.
"Um, I'll go get Ami." Lita left as Bryce entered the
apartment more. He closed the door as he looked
around. It struck him as weird that a girl of
eightteen would live alona and still in high school.
He didn't want to be nosey so he dropped the subject.
His attention was sonn fixed on a beautiful girl.
"Whoa...," was the only thing Bryce could say. It may
not have been a formal date, but Ami was still very
pretty in the outfit she chose to wear. Ami wore a
simle white blouse that was silk and a blue skirt that
stopped abover her knees. Ami wore no make up. And, in
the eyes of her two admierers, she didn't need any.
She was beautiful just as she was. "here," Bryce said
handing her the flowers.
She laughed." Thank you, Bryce," Ami said taking them
from him.Lita took them from her so she could leave.
"I'll put these in water for you, Ames," Lita said
with a half smile.
"Uh, Lita," Bryce said. "What time do you want ther
home?"
Lita smiled and waved a finger in his face. "Ten and
no monkey business." They all laughed. "Just have fun.
Amy, I might not be here when you get back. Ken asked
me out for dinner. You have a key, right?"
"Yes, it's in my purse. Have fun, Lita," Ami said and
left with Bryce.
Lita sighed. "You, too."
About 20 minutes later, the doorbell again rang
through out the apartment. The door opened and a boy
walked in. "Hey, Lita! Ya home?"
"I'm in the kitchen, Ken," Lita answered.
"Figures," Ken said as he closed the door and walked
to the kitchen. "Ready," he asked.
"Yeah," Lita said half heartaly. Ken picked up on
this.
"You ok, Lites? You seem bummed out."
"I am," Lita answered. If she was going to tell anyone
about her crush, it would be Ken. He always
understood. "Can I tell you something without you
flipping out?"
"You can tell me anything, Lita. Whats wrong," Ken
asked concerned. 'Did another guy hurt you?"
"It's not a guy this time...," Lita answered. "It's
Ami..."
"Whats wrong with her?"
"Nothings wrong with her, except she has my heart in
her hands and doesn't even know it. Oh, Ken, what am I
going to do," Lita asked.
"You... like Ami? For more than a freind," Ken asked.
"I don't just like her. I'm in love with her, Ken,"
Lita explained. "What am I suppossed to do?"
Ken smiled. He always figuered Lita to be a lesbian.
But he never said anything. "Have you told her?"
"I can't. She's my best friend besides you and I don't
want to ruin that. But,... I don't know..."
"You feel you should tell her, right," Ken asked. Lita
nodded. "Then tell her..."
"I can't!"
"WHY?"
"I don't know. What if she doesn't feel the same?"
"Well," Ken said. "Thats a risk you'll have to take.
Now, come on. We'll talk about this over dinner." The
two left and Ken tried to help Lita with her problem.
(Bryce and Ami's date; after dinner and a movie)
"Thank you for dinner tonight Bryce. I had fun," Ami
said.
Bryce smiled. "I'm glad. So, whatda ya want to do?"
"I don't know," Ami said. "What do you want to do?"
"Lets see," Bryce said checking his watch. "Its just
now 8:30. We could just walk around for a while or, if
you want, I could take you home." He looked at her.
"It's your choice, Blue."
She smiled. "Lets walk around for awhile." They walked
for a while in silence. Then, Ami asked: "How's the
baby doing?"
"He's doing good. He thanks you for saving his life,"
Bryce answered.
"He can talk," Ami asked.
"Yeah." They walked a while more. Soon they ended up
walking into the park. "It's so pretty here at night.
I can't believe Blaze wants to destroy Earth. Such
beauty..."
"Yes. But, in my opnion, I think the planet Mercury is
just as pretty," Ami commented.
Bryce smiled and linked his hand with Ami's. They
stopped to look out at the lake. "Actually," Bryce
said looking at Ami who was looking out at the lake.
He leaned down and whispered, "I think the Sailor
Scout of Mercury is the most beautiful thing in the
entire universe."
Ami's eyes grew wide. Had she... heard him right? Did
he just call her beautiful? Blushing, Ami turned to
face him. He looked so... serious. His eyes held
nothing but pure love for her.
Still holding her hand, Bryce placed a hand behind
Ami's head and pulled her closer. She didn't resist.
He leaned down and captured her lips with his own...
