A lurking danger

The first attack (Danger part III)

AN: Usagi = ChibiUsa, Arlene = Sailor Ceres, Kamaria = Sailor Vesta, Aethel = Sailor Pallas, Chloe = Sailor Juno, Shiro =Helios

Usagi sat down next to the small pond that was in the center of the Earth Temple's garden. The ground and plants told her that Helios was there, praying. Normally she would run to the golden temple to greet him, but here lately he has been acting as nervous as everyone else around her.

Trailing her fingers through the water, her mind drew up images of the large lake in Elysion. 'It feels the same, that's why. I wonder if you can see visions in this water, too?' Her hand stilled and the ripples distorted her reflection. 'Visions.... that is where all this began. Mars had one, and I bet Helios did too. I wish they would confide in me. I know it is about me, or someone close to me.' She glared at the reflection that shimmered in the water. The pink haired teenager glared back at her.

Shiro leaned against the railing of his temple and watched his shrine maiden contemplate the pond. 'There is so much we don't know. She probably hates me for not telling her anything.' His eyes trailed over the budding teenager. 'She looks so much like her mother did when we first met. Except her hair and eyes are pink. Pink... the color of hope. Right now we are hoping we are wrong. That all we are sensing is totally off.' Even as he watched, Usagi crossed over to the temple steps. He moved to meet her.

Usagi stopped at the base of the golden stairs. Looking up at Helios she asked the one question no one has been answering. "Shiro, what is happening? What is everyone afraid of? Why are we having such a weird training schedule?" 'Why was there a Black Widow in my bathing room last night? I doubt he knows about that yet, and I'm not going to scare him.' She watched the High Priest as he contemplated his answer. 'He isn't going to tell me. He is going to brush me off too, just like everyone else. They treat me like I'm not a trained senshi.'

Shiro watched as the shadows crossed over her face. 'No one has said not to tell her, and I think she has a right to know the dilemma we are in.'

Taking a deep breath to steel his nerves, and to counter act the affect she always had on him, Shiro walked down the steps. "Sailor Mars has had vision of some unknown danger lurking in the shadows. I also have had the same visions. The Earth priestess Chieko also has suffered from the same dark tidings. And they always center around you and your court. Everyones. The Queen called in Neptune and Uranus to see if they could see anything clearer, but both were unsuccessful. They saw the same as everyone else. A horrible danger is awaiting you."

His words sank slowly into Usagi's belly and solidified into a cold rock of fear. "That is why the random trainings. They are trying to prepare us for any possibility." Her fear reflected in her eyes. Without thinking, Shiro wrapped her in his arms, and placed a kiss on the crown of her head. Usagi stood stiff for a moment, and then allowed herself to relax against him. She could feel his love washing over her, trying to comfort her.

Holding his maiden close, Shiro wished it was in his power to keep her safe, to protect her. 'What will be next... Black Widows last night... what will be tonight?' When news of the attack reached his ears that morning, he had hoped that the danger was over. But instead of the visions lessening, they were getting stronger. And this morning, the Queen told them that Saturn was preparing.
