Chapter 5
No
answer.
Luna looks up again.
The little girl ignored her and continues walking. Beginning to feel creepy,
Luna tried again. “Meowww…” Looking up at the little girl face, Luna purrs
softly. The little girl eyes began to glow. It became so bright that it hurts
Luna’s eyes. She closed her eyes, wondering what is happening. When she looks
up again, the little girl eyes had became normal, losing their blinding
brightness earlier, return to the warm and friendly eyes, which, Luna suddenly
realised with a shock, belongs to Usagi.
“Don’t be afraid
kitty. I’m not going to hurt you. I am just going to bring you home,” the
little girl smiles sweetly at Luna, rubbing her chin gently. Luna, enjoying the
tickle, momentarily forgotten what had just happened. And then it all came back
to her. She stopped purring and jumps down to the ground. Looking carefully at
the little girl, it suddenly dawn on her why she had felt so comforting
previously. This little girl has the same aura as Usagi. Even the eyes look
alike.
Upon closer
inspection, Luna noticed that the little girl had two small buns on top of her
hair, blonde. She’s wearing a simple pink dress up till her knees. Why does I get the feeling that she’s
somehow related to Usagi?
The little girl bends
down to look at Luna. “Do you want to walk yourselves? Maybe we can walk
together then? Where do you want to bring me to? Do you remember your home?”
She smiles at Luna, patting her head all the while. Luna decided to bring her
back to Rei and the others. She began to walk a few steps to the left and to her
relief, the little girl follows.
Luna continue
walking, looking back all the while to make sure she is following. This is definitely fishy. Now she is looking
so innocent. What happened just now? Is she the new enemy? Is she the cause of
everything? The previous experience had taught Luna not to be surprised by
anything. When Chibi-Usagi had appeared previously, everyone had thought that
she is the enemy as well. Who will had guess that she turns out to be the
future princess of Usagi and Mamoru?
Finally they arrive
at Rei’s temple. Luna climbed the steps quickly and waits for the little girl
at the top. The little girl was laughing cheerfully as she skips up the steps
trying to keep up with Luna. Ami walks out when she heard the laughter. She
stares at both of them. The little girl was cuddling Luna in her arms again.
“Luna.. What..” she
trailed off when she saw Luna gives her a small wink, silencing her. She jumps
down from the little girl and look up at Ami. Ami seems to understand Luna
signals as she bends down and look at the girl.
“Hi.. You brought
Luna home? Thank you so much..”
The little girl looks
at Ami and smiles. “Yes.”
Ami looked at the
little girl. She seems alright. Why does Luna looked at her
like that? She had noticed Luna frowning at her just now. She knows Luna
got a reason to bring someone here at a crucial time when everyone is busy
detecting the new enemy. “Do you want to come in for a hot tea? It’s really
windy out here. Come in and take a rest?” Ami decided to invite her indoor so
that she can investigate more.
The little girl
followed Ami into a room. “Just stay here awhile. I’ll go and get tea and some
snacks for you.” She stops when Luna patted her and meow softly. “Oh, Luna, you
are hungry aren’t you? Come with me and I’ll get you something.” She scoops Luna
into her arms and walks out of the room.
“Luna, Ami? Who is
that girl?” Rei was walking up the corridor. She had seen them from her room.
“I think we had better
go to Usagi and Mamoru there. Something weird happened just now and I am
getting worried.” Luna frowned.
Inside the room, Luna
explained everything in detail to the three of them. Usagi was still
unconscious. But Mamoru assured them that she seems fine except that she’s not
awake. He had been keeping an eye to her strength
and it calms him down a little to know that she is not in immediate danger.
“This is really
fishy.” Rei commented after Luna finished telling them everything. “Are you
sure she turned cold for a while? Maybe she just change her tone or..”
Luna shakes her head
slowly. “I’m sure she had changed. It’s not just her tone or voice. It’s like
she had changed completely to another person, someone more… evil. Besides that,
I told you. I heard Usagi’s voice pleading for help earlier before the little
girl appears.”
Everyone was silent.
“But the little girl
seems so cute and adorable. She looks so innocent,” Ami commented. “She
reminded me of Chibi-Usagi. Remember how we used to suspect her for harming
Usagi? And she turned out to be her future daughter. Maybe.. maybe this time..”
Ami turns to look at Usagi. “She does resemblance Usagi in a way. Don’t you
think their hairstyle look alike? That shouldn’t be coincidence is it?”
Rei nods her head a
little. She seems to be thinking hard about something. Luna on the other hand
said, “that is who she reminded me of as well. She seems to bear the same aura
as Usagi. However, that couldn’t happen right? The future queen Serenity only
has a daughter. And that cold eyes of the little girl when she changed, no. No
matter how hard Chibi-Usagi had tried to take the crystal from Usagi that time,
her eyes was never that cold and scary. It made me grew cold inside. That’s
what made me confused”
Rei suddenly stands
up. “I’m going to check my fire again. I’ve just thought of something. The
little girl gave me some clue of my suspicions. I need to check them out before
I do anything. In the meantime, maybe Luna and Ami should go and entertain the
little girl. Do not let her out of your sight. She maybe the important clue to
this problem.”
“I think we should
alert the others as well. I’ll just call them now. Luna, I think you should go
back to the room while I go and prepare some foods.” Ami stands up and start
fumbling with her Whisperer to call the others senshi.
“Usagi.. continue to
be strong. We are all looking for ways to save you. Don’t give up..” Mamoru
whispered to the sleeping princess after everyone left the room. Usagi.. you must wake up. What will become
of our future if you continue your sleep? I know you love sleeping, but just
for this one time, stop sleeping. Usako..
