Chapter 4
Forgotten Elysion
*Bus 666*

Jadeite woke up and grabbed his head. "This headache will never go away. It's been two
days now." He got out of bed. His whole body ached from sleeping at odd positions. He
never dreamt anything like it before. He knew it was just a dream but it felt so real. He
could see those flowers by that temple. He could feel her touch and smell her scent. Yet,
he knew it meant nothing. Dreams meant nothing. That's what the Queen would say. He
looked out the window. Even though it was the morning, nothing but darkness of the
night seeped through his window. He was determined now. Today was the day, he was
going to drive that bus.

He drove down Sendai Hill. It was 5:50, everyone was already in like for the 6:00 bus.
This was too easy, he thought. After failing twice big time, he was finally happy about this
plan. He should have thought of it earlier. Kids were already piling in as soon as he
stopped the bus. All of them were looking happy and carrying ofudas from the Hikawa
Jinja. Jadeite smiled. There were about 30 students inside, when he closed the
door of the bus. He drove down the street and when he saw it was clear, the bus
disappeared inside a black whole.

Metallia was gaining power from the energy and everyday Jadeite was there picking up the
kids. Everyday, there were more victims. Everyday there were stories of the mysterious
disappearing bus. There were many that were missing. Students who got on, never
returned. It's almost like they disappeared out of thin air.

****************

The ondango haired girl, Jadeite had followed days before was in the vicinity of the
Hikawa Jinja. She was mesmerized by Hino-san's beauty, along with the black cat that was
with her and decided to follow the violet haired girl to her shrine. The two knew about
how worried everyone was because of the mysterious bus that never returned its
passengers.

Rei was also worried and busy. She had not gotten enough sleep the night before. Her dreams
that kept coming to her were so odd. It was almost like de ja vous. Everything seemed so
real, like it really happened. But she knew none of it was true. She could hear the
commotion outside. There were people coming from all over town wanting ofudas so they
wouldn't meet their fate inside the six o'clock bus. She turned her attention back to the fire
in front of her and concentrated on her reading. "I can sense a dark aura here..." she
whispered, closing her eyes. "It's near by... I can feel it.. Please show me..." She opened
her eyes and the fire had revealed a face.... A face of the man she had met a few days ago,
grabbing hold of that girl... The girl that was also in her dreams. "Ikuto-san..." She said in
surprise.

"Ikuto-san... and Sel... Seleni..." She said, realizing that it was he that she had dreamt
about. She didn't remember much, but he looked like the man in her dreams. She
remembered that day they had met... He had asked if they could have tea together. But she
had declined. "Hino-san, I understand... You will probably not like me, when you get to
know me..."

Rei shook her head and stood up. It was close... The aura was close. It seemed like it was
outside. Even Phobos and Deimos sensed it. She took out her ofudas and ran outside as
the girl with the ondangos approached her. She threw the ofuda where her crows were.
"Evil Spirits Begone..." She yelled. The girl with the ondangos, fell to the ground.

"I'm very sorry, Usagi-san, I didn't realize it was you. Phobos and Deimos usually have
good instincs. I just have this feeling that something bad is near." She said to the girl. "It's
that mysterious bus that picks up at Sendai Hill. Everyone's been asking me about it.
People go but no one ever comes back." The black cat picked up her ears and wondered if
this mysterious beautiful girl with the ability to sense evil is the Princess that she and Usagi
were searching for. But by then, Usagi knew as well as the black cat that there was
something special about Hino Rei. Was she a Senshi as well?

Again at precisely six, the bus was at the bus stop by Sendai Hill waiting to pick up more
victims. Jadeite was waiting patiently. He knew that Sailor Moon would show up soon
and save these idiotic kids who still kept showing up. Beryl would be happy with him
finally, if he could only get rid of that stupid Sailor Moon girl.

Not a second passed when from a corner of his eye, he saw that girl again. The girl, like in
his dream, running towards the bus. She had seen him he knew and she kept running
forward. He wanted her to come, yet he didn't. But he used his powers anyway to lead her
into the bus. Maybe she does hold that crystal.. He can see her trying to stop herself
from going towards the bus but his powers were stronger. He opened the bus door and
gave her his hand. "Come on, come in.." he said, smiling evilly. "Come in..." the girl
stepped inside and he drove away, feeling happy. He had not noticed however that the
ondango haired girl, who transformed into a stewardess, grabbed onto the bus as well and all
of them disappeared inside a black hole.

When he returned to the castle of the Dark Kingdom he laid the unconscious girl down on
the floor. Jadeite kneeled down to look at her. He touched her cheek and brushed a strand
of hair away from her face. Her skin felt so soft from his touch. "This girl... so beautiful..."
he said to himself. "She had touched my heart since the first time I laid eyes on her..."
