Chapter Seven: Off Time                                 



Rei was at the Hikawa Jinja later in the evening and was busying herself clearing the porch of sakura blossoms with her broom. Her face was still tightened a bit with Usagi's taunting and she pressed on the broom pretty hard while she swept, "She's crazy if she thinks I have a crush on that Yamito just because he's unnaturally cute. The creeps me out with that look he always has, like he's not all the way in his body or something."

"Whoa! You look like you're in a bad mood."

Yuuchiro came up behind her and stared at her, making her stop sweeping and look at him, "What? Why do you say that?"

"Because you just broke that broom in half."

Getting steamed a bit, she threw it on the ground and clenched her fists in a huff, looking out into the courtyard, "It's that Usagi! She makes me so mad!"

"Did she eat your candy again or something?"

"She keeps trying to get me to admit I like this guy we just met." She seethed and closed her eyes in anger, trying to fight the urge to go find Usagi and bap her again. Yuuchiro stared at her for a moment, then asked her a question that took her off guard.

"Do you?"

Taken from her anger for a moment, Rei blinked and looked to him, "What? No! He's too....callous for my taste."

Smiling weakly, he rubbed the back of his neck and started to stutter in a nervous voice, "Well, in that case do you....uhm...want to go out later tonight?"

She blinked at him and was shocked at his timing, but a small smile did manage to sneak across her face and make her forget her anger for the moment, "You mean, like on a date?"

"Well, yeah."

Clasping her hands behind her, she leaned towards him and tilted her head a bit, "Are you asking me out on a date, Yuuchiro?" He leaned back a bit and laughed nervously, not being able to say much of anything right now. In the end, she stood straight and tried not to giggle, "Because if you are, then I'll have to say yes."

He sprung to his feet and cheered loudly, "Really? Does nine sound okay?" She nodded slowly and giggled a bit, which made him jump into the air with a cheer, then run off to finish his chores with a spring in his step.

Walking over to pick up her broken broom, her mind was eased with the thought of a date with Yuuchiro, as long as he didn't screw it up. Bending down to pick up the broken wood, she spoke in a light voice, "I didn't think he would ever ask."

"Too callous?"

She instantly rose up and turned around, to find a figure leaning against the shrine, shrouded in the darkness of a shadow. At first she didn't believe it was who she thought it was, but her own eyes gave into a fear that her heart placed before her mind, "Yamito?" Standing straight, Yamito emerged from the darkness and walked out into the fading sunlight, his eyes upon her like the first time she had ever met him. That unsettling feeling she got around him fell upon her once more and she wanted to step back from him, and she didn't even know why, "Where have you been?"

Her voice even sounded weak to her, and even as she tried to make herself sound more like her confident self, his gaze made her feel weak all over. He made it worse by speaking in that soothing voice, "Preparing for the end." Not at all getting why he worded it like that, she watched him let out a slow breath and close his eyes, and much to her surprise, lost his aura that always made her feel on edge, "I didn't come here to speak to Sailor Mars, however."

"Why are you here?"

"I came to see if Hino Rei would show Jonetsu Yamito around her Tokyo, so that he may shed some of his 'callous' exterior."

The shock of his proposition made her silent, making her ask if this was really happening. If only he hadn't been so cute, and the small problem of her date with Yuuchiro, "Tonight? Actually, I have previous plans for tonight."

Much to her surprise, and delight, he shrugged lightly and looked as if that didn't matter one bit to him, "Cancel them. Surely someone from another dimension is more important than that Yuuchiro fellow." Both annoyed at his arrogance, and taken with it, she crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a candid tone.

"I don't know. I've been looking forward to a date with him for a long time."

"Sarcasm suits you well, but you know who intrigues you more. Go on your date with him, but I will return at midnight."

"Maybe I'll just go to bed and stand you up."

He actually did something that surprised her as he smiled lightly, letting out a light chuckle and turning to leave. As he walked towards the stone steps that exited the shrine, he stopped a moment and turned his head back to her. Sliding his hands in his pockets, he eyed her a moment and a slight breeze moved the hair from his face, giving her the first good look she had gotten of his face, "You'll wait up for me." With that, he turned and started down the steps, leaving her standing in mixed emotions. Although his attitude made her steam a bit, it also made him so much more attractive to her. Trying to go back to picking up her broom, she sighed lightly and smiled, talking to herself with a bittersweet laugh.

"I don't know if I should hate him or like him."


A cool breeze moved in through the window of Makoto's apartment, though she hardly noticed it as she read her romance novel, a tint of red dancing across her cheeks. She sighed dreamily and read a part out loud, her voice floating on tones of fantasy, "He lifted her up into his strong, muscular arms and carried her across the river, saving her bare feet from the icy waters." Laying the book across her chest, she sighed once more and ran some of her hair between her fingers, "I wish I wasn't so big. Then someone could lift me into their arms like that." Staring at the ceiling a bit, she lost herself in her thoughts as the apartment became deafeningly silent. Suddenly a noise out on her balcony grabbed her attention and made her sit up quickly, tossing her book on the floor as she did. Rising to her feet, she approached her dark balcony and glared out, speaking in a very threatening voice "Who ever is out here, you picked the wrong girl to mess with."

A tall figure appeared in the darkness and a familiar voice filled her ears, making her step back in surprise, "Really? Sailor Moon told me this was the right place." She reached over and flipped on her light, illuminating the face of Shadow Jupiter. The suddenly light made him squint and he turn his head a bit, speaking in a soft tone that, oddly, made her skin tingle, "I hope I didn't scare you. I tried to land as quietly as possibly, but these balconies squeak a bit."

Somewhat relieved that it really was him, she laughed a bit and relaxed, rubbing the back of her head lightly, "No, you didn't scare me, though I almost came out here and beat you up, thinking you were a prowler."

He laughed nervously and looked at her for a moment, then turned his head and looked out over the city. His suddenly evasion of her made her a bit confused, and she eyed him in silence as he looked out over the glowing lights. After a moment, he started to speak and placed his hand on the railing, "Beautiful, isn't it? I remember when my Tokyo was like this, quiet and peaceful. All before the war."

"What was it like, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Pure and utter hell. You'd go through your day, never knowing if you'd see a sunrise again, watching the Organization take your friends and family and...." He soon trailed off and patted his hand on the railing a few times, making her feel bad for making him talk about it.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stir up bad memories."

He snapped from his daze and turned to smile at her, shaking his head ever so lightly, "It's all they are, memories. They don't matter as much as the here and now. Usagi told me you're afraid to fly in airplanes because of your parents?"

She looked down and got a weak smile on her face, nodding just enough so that he could see, "Yeah, I run an' hide every time I hear one."

Winking to her and raising a finger up, he grinned and leaned closer to her, "Well, how about the flying part, without the airplane part?"

"What do you mean?" She asked and tilted her head in confusion. He just grinned and stepped close to her, looking down with a soothing look in his peat green eyes. Feeling butterflies in her stomach, she didn't move as he spoke in a very soft voice, both hands reaching out to his sides.

"You've barely met me, but do you trust me?" She suddenly found herself nodding to him, lost right now in the moment that echoed those parts she loved in her books. With a blur of movement and a gust of wind, he suddenly rushed under her and put his arm under her legs and shoulders, lifting her into his arms with no effort. Letting out a quick yelp, she clutched to him tightly and looked down, then back to him with a surprised look. He just laughed a bit and held her tight, his feet coming off the ground slowly, "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Hang on tight, this is going to be a little scary." Before she could answer, the two rose into the air quickly and disappeared into the clouds, leaving the city far below them.


"I'm so far behind, I might drop below one hundred percent in my science class." Ami said with a worried tone in her voice, and the librarian just smiled as she made her way to the door. The way Ami was digging into the book made the older woman laugh and open the doors to leave, but calling behind her to the last patron of the library.

"You worry too much, Ami. Goodnight. Make sure you lock up when you leave." Ami just smiled softly and looked up from her book, nodding for the kindness and watching the librarian step out of the doors. As the library fell quiet once more, she fell back into reading, the only sounds that could be heard coming from the pages as she turned them slowly. Before she could open her computer to start her work, a stack of books came down onto the table near her computer and startled her. Looking up to the figure, she was shocked to see Kurai looking down at her with a blink. Dressed in his school uniform, he could have easily blended in with the student that came to this library regularly, though only a studious eye could see the subtle differences in his uniform compared to others. Still with a look of shock on her face, she caused him to smile sheepishly and rub his head a bit, pointing to the seat next to her.

"I'm sorry if I startled you. Is this seat taken?"

She didn't know if she was more startled that he was there, or the fact that he had broken the silence in such a loud manner. Still she found herself letting out a breath and smiling, gesturing to the seat with a nod, "No, it's free. Why have you come here so late, Kurai-san?"

Taking the seat next to her, he pulled his glasses from his pocket and slid them from the case. With a slight shrug of his shoulders, he pushed his glasses onto his nose and started to thumb through his books, "Honestly? Because it's been so long since I have been to a library. Although, I can't lie. Your friend Usagi told me that you would be here. That would be my main reason."

Feeling her cheeks flush at his words, she looked into her book without words to speak. He just seemed to smile lightly at her reactions and pulled a book from his stack, then opened it slowly. Leaning back in his chair a bit, he began to read quietly. Getting back into her book wouldn't be as easy as she thought, as she found him to be a distraction to her studies. The library fell silent once more until she looked to him once more, feeling unnaturally drawn to his quiet and refined manners, "Have you and the others come to terms with your powers again?"

"Yes, as well as can be expected. When the Priests show themselves again, we should be ready for them."

As his eyes never left the book while he spoke, she took it as a hint to just stick to reading and not talk to him about senshi things. She looked back into her book sharply and nodded a few times, then became silent once more as she read. Seeing her actions to his, he felt a little bad about giving her the brush off and slowly set his book down, looking to her with those icy blue eyes, "You must read here a lot. It's very kind of the librarian to let you stay as long as you want."

"She is very kind, and I usually stay here late about three times a week."

He reacted much the same as her and looked back into his book, "The librarian in my world would close at eight sharp, and if you were still here after then, she would suck your energy and give it to the Omega Master." Turning her head slowly to him, she blinked a few times in disbelief and stared at him in horror.

"Are you serious?"

This time, a large smile crossed his face and looked to her out of the corner of his eye, speaking a quick and quiet answer that made her smile just as wide back, "No."


"I can't believe they're all gone, maybe Usagi is home." Minako miffed and paced in her room a few times. With a sideward glance to her phone, she thought about putting on some clothes and going out, but the night air felt good along her bare legs. The idea became that much more coveted to her when the doorbell sounded, and the idea of answering the door in her nightgown was a bit much. Still, her mother being gone and the idea of a quick peek to the guest forced her to scamper down the stairs in a rush to get the door. She peeked through the sight and was taken back at what she saw. So much so, that she flung the door open to reveal Suteki standing on her porch with a serious look on his face. A fluttery feeling built up in the bottom of Minako's stomach and she looked at him with a warm smile, "It's you. I thought that you guys just disappeared on us."

He just looked around a few times and remained silent, then lunged forward and grabbed her arm, "Come on, we need to go!"

"Wha.........."

Her sentence was cut short as he pulled her from her doorway and started running with her down the walkway. Almost being dragged behind him, she protested a few times loudly but he just looked back to her with a serious expression, "We're in great danger. You have to trust me."

"Where are we going?"

"No time to explain, if we don't hurry, we may be too late!" Finally, he pulled her into the park and led her down a winding path into the trees. Coming to a stop, he let go of her arm and looked around to see if they were being followed. She just doubled over and caught her breath, her heart racing from the running, and also from the company. The night air nipped at her legs a bit, but she hardly paid notice to what little she was wearing at the moment. Her attention was on the guy who seemed to concerned about this danger and she stood straight.

"What's the big emergency? Why are we in danger?"

He looked around again, then grinned to her widely and winked at her, "We were in danger of letting this perfect Saturday night go to waste. That would be a crime in itself, letting a beautiful girl like you spend a night like this all alone."

She stared at him blankly and couldn't believe what the big emergency was. Not knowing if she should be flattered and blush, or be angry and smack him, she just spoke in a flat tone and pointed at him, "You mean you got me all riled up, took me from my house in my nightgown, and ran me to the park so I wouldn't be alone tonight?"

"Basically, yes. Hey, it's even warm enough to be out here in a nightgown. A nightgown that's extremely sexy on you, I might add."

Feeling her anger melt away at his charming candor, she let out a slow breath and got a bit flushed in the face, "And you, Suteki-san, are a flirt and a charmer. How many girls have you done this to before?"

"Well, let me count. In this dimension.........one."

His smile and voice made her weak in the knees, and she was sure he could see it as well. He just gave her a little smile and turned around, raising his arm out for her to take and nodding his head for a walk through the park. She could hardly decline such an offer, and stepped forward to take his arm, "I'm going to have to keep my eye on you, Suteki. You'll be out seducing all the girls of Tokyo, and breaking their hearts with that smile." Leading her down the walkway slowly, he looked forward and shook his head lightly, giving an answer that made her heart flutter in her chest.

"There's only one girl in all of Tokyo that I care to seduce, Minako. A flirt and a charmer? Of course! But I think I just found the girl that I want to give it up for."


"I can't believe them, all left without even telling me where they were going." Usagi huffed to herself as she stomped down the walkway. A little ticked at the fact that all the others weren't to be found, she watched her feet as she walked and mumbled under her breath, "At least they could have told me where they all meeting at." She suddenly heard a high revving behind her and turned her head to see a motorcycle pull up to the curb beside her. The person sat back on his bike a bit and pulled his helmet off, revealing the smiling face of Mamoru.

"Well, there you are. What are you doing, Usako?"

Her mood brightening at his arrival, she walked to him with a smile, "I was looking for the others but they've all left. Probably went on big date or something."

"Well, how about we go out then?" He suggested and held out his helmet for her to take. Cheering loudly, she nodded and hopped on the back of his bike, sliding the helmet over her odangos. As she put her arms around him, he revved the motor a few times and sped off into traffic, making her clutch to him tightly. Her mind started to wander in thoughts of love, but the flashing lights up ahead drew her attention quickly back into reality.


Rei arrived off her date with Yuuchiro a little late, and obviously was a little eager to end her night with the love-sick musician. Giving him a light kiss on the cheek, she turned and hurried around the back of the shrine, her violet eyes searching the shadows for that figure she had been yearning to see again, "Yamito? Are you still here?" After a few, long moments of searching, her spirits fell and she turned to retire for the night. However, her disappointment was shattered as his voice broke the cool air and filled her ears.

"I was about to leave."

Yamito stepped out of a deep shadow and looked at her coolly, his hand still stabbed in his pocket. As she spun around to face him, his presence once again filled her chest with a burning feeling, much to her dismay. She just looked at him for a moment before speaking, then laughed lightly and clasped her hands in front of her, "Sorry, my plans went a little late."

"So I've noticed. You're lucky that I'm the type of person who is patient when it comes to what he wants."

That cool demeanor made her smirk lightly, but a pale blush formed in her cheeks at the indication of his desires. She made a quick attempt to looked ready to go out, and pushed her hands through her dress to smooth the wrinkles out, "Well, Yamito, would you like that tour of Tokyo?"

With a light nod, he walked from the shadow slowly and stopped near her, looking at her with those dark eyes and making that feeling in her chest burn even deeper, "There are few in this world that I care about enough to let them call me Yami. I would be happy to hear it from your lips, Rei." His entire presence made him so intoxicating to her, and she was sure he could see that in her eyes. Feeling that pallid blush surging up a bit more, she nodded slowly and spoke in a whisper, just loud enough for him to hear.

"Alright, Yami."

The words seemed to make his face brighten, and she watched as he smiled lightly to her. She was drawn to his smile, something she hadn't seen that much of. As much as it made her soul burn, she was thankful that he didn't smile that often. With his free hand, he gestured to the walkway out towards the city and spoke in a soft tone, "Then show me your Tokyo." Returning his smile, she started towards the walkway and eyed him as he walked next to her. His face was trained forward and had a relaxed look to it, something, she guessed, he didn't let happen much. Their stroll was quiet for a while, the sounds of the city growing louder as they started seeing more people and came upon the night life in Tokyo. She actually didn't care all that much. She was content to be around him for the moment, this unique person like none other she had ever met, or would ever meet. Then, just like a signal to end their evening, he looked at her slowly and spoke, "Your watch is beeping, Rei." Snapped out of her trance she never knew she was in, she blinked a few times and looked down to her communicator, and the flashing light on it. Turning her wrist upside down, she pressed a small button and a holographic image of Usagi appeared in the air, speaking to her with a concerned look.

"Rei, there was an attack. The Priests are at it again, but this time, they drained the whole mall. At least eighty people. Meet us at the park."

Rei nodded once and found her strong voice again, "Okay, we'll be right there."

"We?" Usagi queried and blinked a few times. Rei didn't even bother to reply and pushed the button again, making Usagi's image disappear. With a light sigh, she looked to Yamito to tell him the news, but was shocked at the look on his face. His features had fallen back to that heavy look, like the entire world weighed on his young body. His eyes fixed on the bright lights of the city before them, but his mind was a million miles away. She could only imagine what his life was like before they came, and she even felt a bit sorry for him. As he sighed lightly, he muttered a few words under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear.

"And into the flames go the fools and the righteous, for only the end makes us strong, and the cause makes us just."


"How high are we?"

Still below the cloud cover of the sky, Makoto looked down to the city far below and clutched to Shadow Jupiter tightly. He, of course, didn't mind it at all and shrugged lightly, still looking at her face as they continued to fly higher, "About a mile. Don't worry, I won't let go." She looked at him nervously and shivered a bit, either from the height or the temperature. Still just lost in her eyes, he laughed lightly and raised an eyebrow, "Wait till you see what I'm going to show you." As they broke through the cloud cover, the whole night sky unfolded around them and took her breath away. He smiled at her reactions and looked around slowly as well, "I told you it would be worth it. This is where angels belong, in the heavens." She didn't even see him looking at her slyly as he spoke, but his words made her smile just the same.

"The stars are beautiful up here."

"Very beautiful." By now his tone had dropped and made her look from the stars to his eyes, looking at her deeply. For a moment, she almost felt like this was a dream, that she would soon wake up in her apartment with a romance novel on her chest, like she had so many times before. His peat green eyes just reflected the stars around them, and caused her to become weak in his arms. In that perfect scene of serenity, their face began to draw together, building towards a perfect moment in a time of chaos. Before that moment could happen, a distant roar of an airplane filled their ears, and sent her face into his shoulder tightly. He winced as her whole body tightened up and shivered against him, a soft whimper escaping into his shoulder.

"It's just a distant plane. You're safe, Makoto." Though his efforts were sincere, she just kept her face hidden from sight and shook very lightly. Letting out a long breath and smiling a bit, he closed his eyes and started to sink back into the could cover, "All right, I guess that's enough flying for right now." After the long decent, his feet landed softly on the balcony and he set her down to her feet, and she was quick to apologize for her fears.

"I'm sorry, Kage. It really was a great view up there."

"It's okay. The temperature was dropping anyway, too cold for a pleasure flight." He mused and smiled a bit, rubbing the back of his head gingerly. Returning the smile, she looked up at him and was really glad he came to see her tonight, even if it did end abruptly. A silent moment passed, and the two just gazed deep into each other's eyes. It was a silent moment of understanding, broken by a beeping coming in from the other room in her apartment.

"That's the senshi. I'll be right back." She said and disappeared into the apartment for a moment. His attentions wandered out over the city and he smiled, seeing the lights and life that flowed through the veins of this lively city. Although he would never get rid of his memories about his own Tokyo, the beauty of this one would easily help him suppress them. That, and the sweet attention of the girl that soon returned back onto the balcony, pulling her watch onto her wrist tightly.

"The Priests have resurfaced. Usagi is having us all meet in the park to plan our next move."

"Well, ready to go for another flight then?".


"So he asked me if I was reading 'The Odyssey'. I looked at him and asked him straight to his face, 'Don't you know 'The Illiad' from the 'The Odyssey'?'" Kurai said, followed by a soft laugh at the joke only those two could appreciate. Ami started to laugh as well and held her book closed firmly in her lap, giving Kurai her full attention for the moment. His laughter started to subside and those icy blue eyes fell on her for a moment, "I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Thank you, Ami."

"No need to thank me. I'm enjoying myself as well, Kurai."

He fiddled with his glasses as they rested in his hands, but never looked away from her, not even for a moment. Silence permeated the air as they looked at each other, either not sure of what to say next or feeling the silence said enough. Gathering some courage, Kurai straightened a little bit and looked to his glasses in his hands, "I don't mean to sound presumptuous, but there isn't another bookworm you read with, is there?" Blinking at his question, she started to answer when her communicator started to alert her. She sighed lightly and looked to her wrist, pushing the button and making Usagi's image appear in the dim light.

"Ami, come to the park right now. There's senshi business going on."

With a quick nod, Ami looked to Kurai and set her book down on the table, "We'll be there. Let's go, Kurai."

"Kurai?" Usagi quipped with a blink but Ami just smiled at her softly, then shut the communicator off. Looking back to him, Ami rose to her feet and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry that our reading session is being cut short. The park is just around the corner."

"That's alright, Ami. Soldier before human, as Yamito would always say. Care for a quick jog?"


"You know, it is pretty nice out here." Minako said distantly as she clutched to Suteki's arm. He nodded slowly as he looked around, then back to her with a devious grin.

"That was a pretty wild way to get you out of the house, huh? You should have seen your face."

"Well, I thought the Priests were going to attack us or something." She grinned and slapped him on the arm lightly, pretending to be mad about it. He just laughed a bit and looked back forward, which made her lean into his arm even more. If only the voice hadn't broke the cool air, their night might have been quiet and peaceful.

"You thought right, Minako."

They both turned to see Mamoru come walking down the path ahead of them, a serious look on his face. To her surprise, Suteki tightened up at the sight of him and made her look at the blonde haired guy. His eyes narrowed on Mamoru, he looked as if he was waiting for an attack, but she quickly looked to Mamoru with a blink, "Mamoru? What are you doing here?" Suteki looked to her with a surprised blink, then back to Mamoru with silent confusion. Mamoru watching him for a moment, then looked over Minako with a shocked look in his eyes. Minako blinked, looked at her nightgown, and quickly hid behind Suteki with a grin, laughing sheepishly.

Mamoru rolled his eyes a bit, then looked to Suteki again with a questioning glance, "Who's this?"

"Oh, this is Shadow Venus. I guess you only saw each other with your masks on." Minako quipped and stayed hidden behind Suteki, idly pulling some dirt from his shirt as she stared into his back.

Usagi suddenly came running up to them out of breath and tooka moment to catch it. Then she blinked and looked up to Minako and Suteki, "Minako? Suteki? What are you two doing out here, and in your nightgown?" Suteki just kept staring at Mamoru suspiciously, but Minako waved lightly as she stayed behind Suteki. Before Usagi could say anything else, Yamito and Rei walked onto the scene, followed by Shadow Jupiter and Makoto landing softly to the side of them.

"Rei? Yamito? Mako? Kage? Why are you guys arriving together?" Usagi asked with a confused look on her face. They just look at each other for a moment, and Usagi finally got it, "Ohhhhhh! I get it! That's why you guy asked me so much about them." Yamito eyed her for a second, then noticed what Suteki was staring at. As he looked at Mamoru in disbelief also, Shadow Jupiter stepped a bit away from Makoto and glared as well, his hand sliding back to the hilt of his sword. Makoto watched him in shock and was about to say something when Kurai and Ami come running up.

"Are we late?" Kurai asked, but none of the other guys gave him so much as a look. He looked to Yamito, then slowly followed his eyes to Mamoru as well. Now all four of them stared at him coldly, but Mamoru just looked at Yamito with a confused glance.

"I'm guessing you are all the Shadow senshi, so what I have to say may be important. The Priests attacked tonight."

Usagi nodded and looked to Rei with a worried expression, "They attacked around ninety people and just disappeared. I never though they would drain so many." For the moment, whatever problem the four had with Mamoru disappeared and the three looked to Yamito with a weary look in their eyes. Yamito lingered on Mamoru for a moment longer, then glanced to Kurai and nodded. Nodding once in return, Kurai looked to Usagi and spoke in a reverent tone.

"They're going to create one."

Everyone's attention moved to Kurai and Mamoru glanced to Yamito for a moment, "Create one what?"

"They're going to create an Omega monster. They always attack as many people as they can so they have enough energy. Then they create an Omega monster, whose sole purpose is to destroy Shadow senshi." Kurai noted and looked to Yamito as well. Yamito and Mamoru just exchanged glances for a while, but Usagi never noticed and stepped forward.

"We need to stop them!"

Kurai looked to her slowly and spoke in a quieter tone, pulling the attention from the two staring at each other, to the more important matter, "More than you can imagine. My guess is the monster will hunt Sailor senshi as well."
