Okashi na Seigi
(Sweets Justice)
As the crystal fell into the candy store, Yuki perked up and went to retrieve it. But before she could get to it Takeo transformed and looked away. "Did it not work?" she inquired a bit scared to inform Isamu of her mistakes.
Takeo looked at her and sighed, "It was them." He stated before wincing afraid she would strike him for doing a bad job. But when nothing happened he opened an eye looking at her face appalled.
"Already!" Yuki said shocked but then shook her head in focus and looked at Takeo, "Did the candy work?" questioning stepping closer to him, her minion just nodded for the answer as she sighed in relief.
"So then we just have to protect it with more than just Takeo." A rough voice came from behind Yuki making her turn around swiftly. Isamu stared at her before patting her head causing her to flush in the face. "I have a perfect minion in mind; T.O.M!" He called out, Yuki gasped at the name as she hid within his arms. A blob with a crimson color appeared, before taking a woman form. "Job for you to do, up to it?" Isamu smirked as T.O.M started to laugh, Yuki held close to him in fear of the monster.
Kousagi was gloating about her victory everyone could tell that Chibi-Usa only had a few more seconds of patience left in her body. Usagi giggled enjoying the scene of Chibi-Usa annoyed, but a loud scream stopped them. As all ran outside they saw a child pointing to the candy store demanding the candy. The mother was fed up with her child but wasn't giving in just yet. A sigh of relief escape the two older girls but still the younger looked curiously.
"Candy isn't good for you! You'll get cavities and it will hurt!" The mother struggled with pulling the son away from the store. But the boy protested he couldn't stand not having some sugary goodness in his belly. Kousagi eyes sparked in flames as she jumped into action, jumping on a fence she startled the mother and boy catching their attention. Chibi-Usa gasped in shock but it was too late, her younger sister had already started.
"Candy is something God gave to the beautiful earth, and should be consumed by one and all. You cannot tell someone like this boy he can't have the candy! You evil doer!" Kousagi shouted this prepared speech as if this mother was some kind of evil demon. The mother was angry and appalled at the little girl as the boy looked in awe and amazement cheering her from the side lines.
Just then Yuki came out with a small bag, "Here, it's on the house. Don't worry it's not that sugary." She whispered the last part to the mother as the little boy screamed for joy as he started to eat the candy. "Have a great day." She waved before giving Kousagi a second glance before returning in the store.
Kousagi nodded as if she had just defeated the evil in the world once again. "Well, I'm beat. Let's go get something to eat." She looked back at Chibi-Usa and Usagi who both stared at her like a crazy girl. "… You're not hungry?" assuming that was the only thing it could have been.
"It's rude to but in, in others lives. Especially strangers." Chibi-Usa lectured before Usagi picked up Kousagi excited at what she had done. "… Surrounded by children." Chibi-Usa groaned looking down shaking her head.
The three finally arrived at Minako's house, knocking on the door hoping she was home. They still had to inform everyone about what happened earlier. "Yes?" Minako answered as she slightly opened the door. The sight of Chibi-Usa and Kousagi was a shock as she swung the door opened. Seeing Chibi-Usa, Minako understood why they had come. A new enemy, a new journey for them all. Her dream of being on stage flashed in her head as she gripped the door and looked at them, "This isn't a good time for the earth to be in peril. I want to live my own life!" she stated as she looked at Usagi.
"But if there isn't a world to live in there isn't a life to live!" Chibi-Usa defended as she folded her arms. "There isn't a choice in the matter you are chosen to help and defend this earth with the love and beauty. That is your destiny." Minako sighed as she touched her head.
Artemis walked from behind Minako and nudged her leg, "They are right. If there is a new enemy we have to save the earth. Otherwise being famous means nothing." He looked up at her as she sighed once more, it seemed as if she was really thinking about everything.
Minako shook her head as she pushed Artemis out with her foot. "I don't do much anyway. It's all Sailor Moon she doesn't need me or any of the other sailor scouts." She stated as she slammed the door.
Chibi-Usa covered her mouth and looked at Kousagi as she started to tear up, "Not now." She stated biting her lip, "We have to hurry and find the others before the darkness spreads to them as well."
Usagi was in shock at this as she stared at the door awaiting for Minako to open it and tell her she was just joking and they would fight again as they always have. Their friendship always carried them through at the end. Kousagi grabbed Usagi's hand and pulled on it slightly, "Mama… Don't worry. She'll be better after a night's rest." She stated cheerfully.
Chibi-Usa looked at the two and knew that Usagi needed to be comforted or she would also let the dark reach her, but they had no time left. "Usagi! This is no time to sulk lets go find Rei or Makoto, maybe Ami-chan will fight. We can come back for Minako." She shook Usagi before they all heard a scream.
Kousagi and Chibi-Usa turned and saw the boy from earlier today who got the free candy. "Not again!" Chibi-Usa gripped her fist as she looked at Usagi and Kousagi. "For the future."
"For Sweets!" Kousagi agreed adding her own words as she grabbed Chibi-Usa's hand and Usagi's. Still Usagi's eyes linger at the Minako's door for a moment before looking at the two nodding in agreement. She couldn't just stand around doing nothing she had to keep the world safe as best she could. They began to rush to the sound of the scream with determination in their eyes.
