I'll Close my Eyes
Chapter 5: Somewhere out there
By: Silver Shadows AKA SS Silver
"Pluto." Saturn nodded her head in acknowledgement, "Indeed, we have much to discuss. I trust you feel the rip in the fabric of time?"
"Hai." Pluto closed her eyes sadly, "Things were not supposed to end like this. Now, with The End drawing closer, and Hime-sama no longer in this world, this universe is almost guaranteed to cease to extist." She paused and looked into her garnet orb on the Time Staff. Swirling white mists floated around in it, blocking her vision. Red lips tightened into a wry line, glancing at the solemn senshi of Saturn, Pluto worridly said, "The flow of time is fluctuating too greatly. I can not tell where one period ends and another starts. If this keeps up, all times will merge into one, and immenient disaster will follow."
Ran growled in the back of his throat. What was going on? Rips in time? End of the universe? Merging into one? None of this made sense! Was this some cruel joke? "All right," Ran roughly cut into the conversation, "what the hell is going on!?!"
Pluto looked at Ran's direction and frowned, "Saturn," she asked the younger senshi, "who's he?"
"Hmm? Oh, that's Ran. He's Aya's brother." Saturn answered, glancing at the red-head.
"Aya?" Pluto furrowed an eyebrow, "Oh, that's the girl you came back in, right?"
"Hai." Saturn glanced at the tinted windows to her right. Luckily, no one had witnessed the strange and abnormal events that had taken place recently, but that didn't mean people weren't going to. "Pluto, we should probably detransform, shouldn't we?"
"Aa." Pluto nodded her head in agreement. There was a flash of deep green and purple light, and when it died out, two new people stood where the senshi of Pluto and Saturn once did. They weren't exactly who they once were, as strange as it might sound.
Ran's eyes narrowed dangerously as he scanned the two. "Who *are* you?" he asked codly, wishing he had his katana with him.
Hotaru smiled and bowed, "Hajimashite. Watashi wa Tomoe Hotaru desu." (AN: Is anyone sensing multiple personalities?)
Setsuna bowed too, but a bit more formally. "Meiou Setsuna."
Ran didn't say anything; he just stood there, his hard violet eyes staring into Hotaru's own. He could already see changes appearing in Aya's body, and he didn't like it. Blue hair was now turning into a pitch black, her blue eyes were now violet like his own. A quick glance at 'Dr. Mirai' confirmed that she too was experiencing changes. Green hair was rapidly growing longer and turning darker; ruby eyes replacing Dr. Mirai's former ones. What was happening? Were these strange beings going to erase all evidence of existance of the people they once were? If so, what could he do? How could he save his sister from something he himself didn't quite understand?

Omi sighed and looked at the clock. When was Aya coming back? It had been quite a while now, and things were getting tense. Manx had arrived twenty minutes earlier with a mission, but she couldn't brief them without Aya there. Yohji, of course, was flirting with Manx, trying to get her to go out on a date with him and to...ahem...Omi chose not to let his thoughts wander that far. Yes, yes, must protect innocent, uncorrupted minds.
SMACK. The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed from the other room. Omi jumped off of the couch and flung the door open. "What happened!?!? What's going---on?" he finished lamely as he started at the scene before him.
Manx stood over Yohji, who was sprawled out on the ground with swirling circles in his eyes, her right hand still up in it's *slapping position*. Blue (AN: Manx's eyes are blue, right?) eyes glittered dangerously and he face was flushed with anger and embarrasment. "Kudo Yohji! Don't you *EVER* do that again, or I will personally kill you, you hear me!?!"
Omi looked at Ken and sweatdropped. "Is it just me, or does Manx get more violent every time we see her?"
"It's not just you." Ken assured Omi, "I think she's PMSing or something."
Manx whirled around to glare at the two younger Weiss boys. "*WHAT* did you say!?!?!" She shrieked, flames erupting around her.
"Eep! S--s-scary!"

SLAM. Crawford looked up from the newspaper to see Schuldich slam the door and walk past, a sleeping Yumeai in his arms. "My, my, Schuldich," Crawford drawled, picking up his cup of coffee and taking a sip, "you're still playing around with that one? I'd have thought you've gotten another woman by now. This is what, the third night you've brought her home?"
"Shut up, Crawford." Schuldich muttered as he stalked past, clearly in a sour mood, "This woman's gonna be mine, and mine only. I'll be damned if I let anyone else near her. Her mind...and body *intrigues* me."
From his place on the couch, Nagi looked at Schuldich with narrowed eyes. He didn't know why, but somehow, he did not like Schuldinch talking about the blonde haired woman that way.
Outside, a single white cat sat on the edge of the neighboring roof, its tail curled around its body. Bright blue eyes narrowed in anger and it hissed at the red haired man inside. With a final yowl, it lept to its feet and bounded off into the darkness.
