Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Youma had not met its mark. In fact, its face literally crashed into the ground, fangs scraping against the sidewalk as it pulled its head back up into a poised striking position. If this Youma had some sort of rattle on its tail, it would have looked like a rattlesnake.

"Hold your hand out flat and facing the Youma" the cat directed as she stalked over to the senshi to make certain she could see *********. ********* was giving directions, so direct eye contact of some sort was probably a good idea. Nevermind the Youma that was preparing to strike.

"Then call out Eos Senseless Flash! Like you mean it! If you do that much, then we should be fine!" Once more, the garbage snake attacked, lashing out towards them, and once more ********* leaped out of the way with the cry of "Dodge and do it now, Sailor Eos!"

The single eye of the Youma grew wide as a visible amount of energy was shot in its direction. It came up so suddenly that it really hadn't gotten the chance to dodge at all. There wasn't even time to blink as the energy shot through it. Yet, for some reason it seemed as if nothing happened. If the garbage snake had been able to smile, it would have offered a rather sinister one. It slithered forward, preparing for yet another attack.

The cat turned to face the Youma, backing up in step cautiously. Sailor Eos would probably be very panicked at the moment, since the effects were not immediate in her attack. Yet, ********* voice still seemed to guide her along.

"...wait for it..."

The youma continued to slither closer, starting to try to circle around them, but then something rather strange happened. The snake-like creature just fell to the ground rather suddenly. It began to flail about wildly, as if it was in pain. However, that was far from the case. In fact, the problem was it just couldn't feel anything at all. Going from being able to feel the ground beneath it to not feeling anything physically around at all was a rather quick change, and it seemed to be panicking accordingly.

This was perfect! ********* maw curled for a feline attempt at a smile. "Sailor Eos, get to a safe distance so I can finish the job!" With that simple instruction out, the cat then padded forward, closer to the flailing Youma, watching it carefully, in case it suddenly shot its long body towards her for an attack. When she was right in front of its single eye, she stopped and lowered her head so her star was on level with the eye.

"It's time you got a taste of ********* Special Surprise!" she said cheerfully before a burst of energy literally exploded, point blank, into the Youma's face. Unlike the energy from the senshi, this attack seemed to have very immediate results. Very immediate face-burning results.

The monster's body immediately grew limp.

********* Special Surprise was definitely something that wore out the ********* performing such an attack. Her legs wobbled under her as she remained standing, inspecting her handiwork for a moment. She had effectively put this Youma down, which only became even more evident as the garbage snake rather swiftly turned into a strange sort of ash.

"...there..." the pale cat turned to face Sailor Eos with wobbly legs. Was the senshi looking at her? Yes, yes she was looking at her. Good.

"Can you pick me up please?... I'm exhausted." No, this spotted feline was not one of those prideful cats who refused attention. In fact, she seemed to thrive off of it. With her pale green eyes fixed on Sailor Eos' face, she asked one more time "Please?"

Rather easily, the tailless feline made herself comfortable, nuzzling up against Sailor Eos' warm body. When she was there, she continued on the conversation as best as she could.

"...if you want to go back to your normal form, just think of yourself going back to normal, and it will happen. I am sure you have questions."

There was a pause as she looked up, seeing the bottom of this girl's chin.

"I will answer what I can, but in exchange, I want some milk." After all that work, ********* totally deserved something as delicious as milk to drink. As if trying to convince this senshi to do such, she rubbed her face up against the girl's bosom.

Before they got too far on the pathway, ********* reminded the girl "Did you grab the other item that I dropped off? You will need that... it will be helpful when you meet others like you?" Yes, the cell phone would be very helpful indeed, as long as it wasn't left behind.

Regardless of which direction the girl went, she asked a rather important question. "What is your name? We really didn't get a proper introduction, and I can't call you Sailor Eos when you are like this." It was a smart thing to avoid if at all possible, since you never knew where the Negaverse was lurking. Today it had obviously been lurking in the garbage.

Once more, the feline lifted her head to try and look at the girl, but again, the current angle was giving her all chin and no face. Settling back down again with a small jingle of her bell, she proceeded to the questions the dark haired girl had.

"You are a Sailor Senshi. A soldier of justice. You are needed to help fight against the Negaverse." This would probably create more questions, but she still continued to push through with her answer. "The Negaverse is what created that Youma. They steal starseeds, or effectively, the souls of people, and use it for their evil purposes. People die without their starseeds. They die."

There was a pause. "And I am just a cat. I am exactly as you see. Yes, I am different than most domestic cats, but I am still just a cat, through and through." ********* once more tried to look the girl in the face. Stupid chin, you were in the way! ********* was attentive and prepared for a new onslaught of questions, her ears up straight and tall.

The feline nodded, though the chin was in the way and it was probably hard to notice such. Only hint her head had moved was that adorable bell around her neck. Gosh, ********* loved this collar dearly!

"Yes, you are Sailor Eos, Senshi of Senses. And yes, there are more Senshi." She paused to rub her cheek affectionately against the girl's body before continuing. "You help doing what you do best. You are the senshi of sense. What you did earlier was removed one of the Youma's senses for a short while. Judging by the reaction, it was probably something pretty big, like touch, sight, or sound. I would suggest finding yourself a team. An ally of sorts."

The cat plopped her head between her paws and looked out to the side for a moment, as if watching the world move by while Selena walked. "Not everyone is meant to be a fighter. You are meant to do what you can do best. You make an excellent diversion and should keep your role as such. It will mean you need to be brave and you will need to judge when it is appropriate to use your attack."

********* laughed.

It wasn't a cruel laughter. It was a light, airy laughter of sympathy. The feline rubbed the fur on her cheek against the girl's body. "Let's start off with the easiest question. You don't tell your uncle. Think of it like being a superhero. Secret identities and the what-not. It isn't like you are supposed to be in superhero mode all the time, but if you happen to catch sight of something that isn't right, like a Youma, then you need to help out."

One of her ears twitched as she tried to figure out a way to answer the other three questions. How could she tackle those questions. There was a small pause in the conversation. Nothing overly awkward. Just like a pause to rest her voice.

Eventually, she found the answers and began to offer them up as they emerged in her little feline brain. "The other senshi can be anything under the sun. I know one who is the senshi of rainbows and one that's the senshi of third sight. The other senshi are just like you or I or anybody from your school. They can be nice. They can be fierce. They can be mean. However, we all are fighting for the same thing."

At least, last ********* had heard, they were all fighting for the same thing. Nobody gave her the memo on rogue senshi.

"I can't really explain how you find a team though. The phone I gave you will probably help, but it really all depends on you. You will meet others like you, because we are all working to get rid of the Youma."

The cat began to burrow her face against the girl's bosom, as if to signal that she was tired. "Mmmmmmmnnnnn..."

Even though ********* had been comfortable in the girl's arms, there were no complaints on the cat's part as she was set down on the ground with a faint jingle of her bell. There were promises of milk after all. However, being left out there by herself meant she had to be on edge a bit more. The Negaverse was still out there, and in her current state, she would be a very likely candidate to be stolen away into the night.

That was about the last thing that ********* really wanted to happen. ********* getting stolen away meant that ********* could no longer search for her girls.

Regardless, when Selena (as she had introduced herself to be) returned to her, the girl would find the cat up at full attention, looking around almost cautiously. For a moment it almost seemed as if the cat hadn't noticed her prompt return, but then all of a sudden the cat wobbled back onto all four legs and rubbed up against the girl. It was strange that ********* was being so quiet now, but she was just a bit too close too the shop where other people could hear her.
