Rei having noticed Motoki's unhappy reaction - glared at him subconciously. Her hair was damp from the quick shower she had taken before she left the shrine. Rei walked forward and paused in front of the counter while flipping her card out for him to see.
"Nice to see you too Motoki-kun..."
Rei looked down to his turtle and winked.

Usagi looked at the two serious girls and calmed down imediately, "Oh, I see," she said in a attempt of a serious tone, "It's a pleasure to see you too, it's too bad we don't see each other more often." Inside, Usagi was exploding with questions to ask Minako-chan about Paris and London and such, but she wanted to be as cool as Ami-chan and Minako-chan.
"Yeah, I'm gonna call Rei-chan and Mako-chan now," Usagi replied to Minako's comment. "Moshi moshi! Mako-chan? Are you busy?" Usagi said into the phone, hoping to get a reply from Mako-chan.

Ami simply laughed a bit again and sighed, patting Usagi playfully on the head carefully. "That's better Usagi-chan, no need in fainting now that we're finally together again right?" And then a glance to Minako as she would go to sit down again near her other friend. "It's more work than anyone could ever imagine, but I get satisfaction from it, knowing I can help people, and I'm sure it's the same way for you Minako-chan, to bring joy to all of your fans across the world." And Ami sighed, someday she would be known in the world of medicine like Minako was in the world of music.
Meep! It seemed Rei-chan was here as well, that just left Makoto. Artemis had to smile some as perhaps now would be a good time to tell the girls, once the final senshi arrived. It was one of those secrets that he had been holding in for a long time, and following them around incognito was harder than he thought. Better they know he was there right?

Without waiting for Motoki's usual nod to go ahead, Rei slid her pass back into her pocket. Rei looked around as if she had felt some sort of conflicting aura.
She walked toward the narrow hall, cautiously looking back to Motoki then forward again. She slowed down when she saw a boy she did not know up ahead. She quickly caught herself staring at the boy for a moment too long. Jerking her stare to the door she shook her head.
"Hm.. that is strange... for some reason I get the feeling Minako must be here..." Rei pressed her hand over the door to the 'usual' room - after giving the boy a curious glance again - she nodded in acknoledgment of his presence - and soon entered the room, closing it quietly behind her.
Rei glanced to the others. Usagi, Ami,.. Minako. "...So she is here.."

The dust had settled long ago, all that remained was the debris of what had once been the Dark Kingdom palace. She had been spared for some reason, she did not know how and she wished she hadn't been. Endymion was gone, killed by the Princess herself. There was nothing left for her.
Beryl sat where her dais had once been, now covered in rock and dust. How long had she been here? She did not know and did not care. Sometimes she slept, sometimes she stared, thinking of what could have been.
Jadeite had been her with her when the kingdom collapsed, pledging his loyalty to her even after the spell had been removed. The crumbling palace had not missed him, and so he was now gone as well.

Usagi's head was still down, trying to listen in closely for a reply from Mako-chan when she heard Rei-chan's voice. She quickly lifted her head away from the phone and stared at Rei-chan, who was standing at the top of the stairs.
Alarmed, but mostly confused, Usagi replied back, "Who's here, Rei-chan?"

"Rei-chan!" Ami again smiled brightly at seeing the fourth senshi arrive. Now this was turning out to be quite the party, all they needed now was Makoto. "It's wonderful to see you again Rei-chan, I didn't expect anyone to show up when I came here today, it's such a nice surprise!" And it beat the pants off studying for her next exam which she knew back and front anyway. It had been too long since she saw her true friends, way too long.
Artemis' eyes met Rei's for one moment, he knew she could probably feel him, she had the heightened senses and whatnot. But instead of acting suspicious, he offered her a bright smile and a bit of a nod in return as he watched her go in. Four down, one to go.
Beryl was not alone, not by a long shot. There was someone there within the former Dark Kingdom, someone who could help her. "Well if it isn't the former Queen... oh how the mighty have fallen..." A sinister laugh was heard after that, as it seemed another Shitennou appeared from the darkness. Perhaps he had not been one of the four officially, but he did have quite the past, mostly with Sailor V. "...You're pathetic, that's why you were spared..." His bright green eyes sparkled some as he glared down at her, shoulder length red hair clashed against his pale white skin, as indeed, it could be seen he was wearing a Shitennou outfit. "Or perhaps it's because, you have more of a destiny... you have another mission to fulfill before your time is over..." A gloved hand raised to his lips in thought, indeed he could use her... but again fool her into thinking she was the one in charge. "My name is Danubrite... and I am here to help you..."

Beryl raised her head slowly when she heard this new voice. She looked the man over, his uniform catching her attention as she knew full well there could only be four Tennou. "To help me? A destiny? Ridiculous," she spoke slowly. "My time is over. Leave me be."

Kino Makoto was working at her flower shop. She was so happy to have a peaceful life, well...sort of. Now she could live as a flower girl in a shop. Suddenly she heard her cell phone ring. Luckily, it was her break so she didn't have to panic. She looked through her bag and found her cell, then looked at the caller I.D. "Usagi!" she thought silently. She answered the call. "Moshi Moshi. It's Makoto."

Everyone was silent as Usagi looked around confused. Just as she was about to ask again, Miko-chan replied on the phone loud and clear.
"Mako-chan!" Usagi replied quickly and loudly, "Do you have some free time? I know you work now, but I'd really appreciate it if you come to Crown Karaoke! All the girls are here!"
Usagi looked up again at the serious girls and she whispered into the phone, "Please come quick. Rei-chan's going to say something serious." She looked up again, feeling awkward and thinking, 'Aww, there goes my karaoke highschool acceptance party.'

Danubrite smirked a little bit and then shook his head. "Don't you think there is a reason you are still alive? There is more to your existance. You failed once with those weak guardians of yours... but with me... you will succeed..." He offered a gloved hand to the woman that was sitting there, defeated and down on herself. Danubrite would not allow that to be so for much longer. "Restore the Dark Kingdom, fully make it yours... and together we will destroy the Sailor Senshi and all who dare defy you..."

Rei shook her head anxiously.. "No," She smiled awkwardly. "Nothing serious!.." Rei walked down the steps and nodded to Ami and Usagi.. She sat in the red plastic chair and sunk her head into her arms. She just wanted to sleep.

"Rei-chan, you seem... tired." Ami spoke in a concerned manner, the same as she had with Usagi just moments before. "Are you overworking yourself at the shrine again?" Ami didn't mean to sound like Rei's mother or anything, but she was always concerned for her friends when they didn't feel or look their best. "Maybe you should lie down for a while... we'll keep it quiet for you."

"I'll ask my boss." She took the phone away from her ear. Her boss was just across the room welcoming a new employee. Makoto walked over to her. "Sumimasen...." Her boss looked at her. Then smiled sweetly and told her that the new employee would be working with her today. "I'd like to...take a break. I'll make up those hours." Her boss's smile faded. For a moment, Makoto thought she would yell at her. Then she reminded Makoto how stressful it can be to work extra. Makoto nodded. Then she was allowed to go. She got her bag and left. This was an opportunity that she may never have in a long time.
She walked inside, then walked over to Motoki's desk and showed him her card. "Hello, Motoki."

Rei lifted her head slowly. It seemed as if she had just fallen somewhat asleep. However her eyes looked as though they were jerked open with the news of something disturbing.
"Overwork..." Rei thought to herself. She would never admit to such a thing. She could handle whatever work the Shrine required. Rei looked to Ami and smiled nodding her head quickly. This time her stubborness didn't prevail. Rei got up from the table, and plopped comfortably into the heart-shaped pillows on the couch. Rei stretched with happieness. "Mmm...Mm"
