Chapter
The next few weeks were great. Minako was living
with Darien and she was having a splendid time. He
was so funny, witty, and charming. Minako almost forgot
that her parents were dead. She had come to accept
it though, and was almost happy because they had felt
no pain and, in her mind, it was better than growing
old and dying of cancer or some horrible disease.
She still missed them though and said a little prayer
for them every night before she went to sleep. It
was now a Monday and they were finally out of school
for the summer. She remembered that the senshi were
having a meeting today at Rei’s temple.
“Darien? I have to go to the meeting soon, but do
you want to go to a movie later or something?” Minako
asked.
“Oh, I would love to go except I’m having dinner
with Usagi tonight. You understand, right?” Darien
said from the other room.
“Oh, of course. Well then I’ll see you when I get
home,” Minako said with false enthusiasm. She was
feeling differently about Darien now. She didn’t know
what it was exactly but she had gotten to know him
better and realized she’s be lost without him. She
was almost jealous of Usagi and the love that she
and Darien shared. “What am I thinking?” Minako wondered.
“I love Usagi, why would I be jealous? I am HAPPY
for them,” Minako decided. But was she really? For
now, she was. She began walking through the busy streets
and finally made her way to the temple. She was late
as usual, but not as late as Usagi. “Hey guys, sorry
I’m late, it was so busy!” Minako exclaimed.
“It’s OK, at least you’re not as late as that meatball
head Usagi! Why can’t she come on time just once?”
Rei asked. Just then, Usagi came stumbling through
the doorway panting.
“Ah, sorry... everyone.. I’m.. out. of breath.. and
late... again..” Usagi could hardly get the words
out. The gang just looked at her and shook their heads.
“Why are we having a meeting anyway?”
“Well,” said Ami, “Rei was having a bad feeling.”
Usagi just looked at her and began to complain, “What!?
You dragged me over here when I could have been sleeping
because REI had a BAD FEELING!? We haven’t had any
problems with the Nega-Moon for months! What’s the
problem?!” Usagi, now panting even more just fell
over onto a chair.
“Arg, that is the whole problem USAGI! I have a feeling
something big is coming and we have to be ready for
it!"
