Even among the Sailor Senshi, Rei Hino is very special. The others didn't have any apparent supernatural powers before they awakened to their true nature, even if they were gifted in other areas. Makoto's strength, Ami's intelligence, Usagi's... Uh... Ability to sleep through the alarm?
Well, never mind that. What mattered here and now was that Rei was praying in front of a fire, and through it seeing the future. A future where... Something bad was going to happen. She couldn't see it clearly, for some reason. It was almost as if the vision itself was trying to protect her from something. Warning her, without letting her see it. That was the impression she had, at any rate. What could it mean? What could it be...?
Mamoru. The name flickered across her vision. Not the image, she noted. Mamoru. Stay away from Mamoru. At all costs. If she didn't, then the future would be set in stone. That was quite the ask, given she had a bit of a crush on him. And he was Usagi's boyfriend. Which made things super awkward between the three of them sometimes. Regardless! If the vision she had of the future insisted that she stay away from Mamoru, then it would be best if she did!
To start with, she tried ringing Usagi to talk with her - but apparently she wasn't there right now. Worrying. More worrying was that neither Ami or Makoto picked up their phones either. Very worrying indeed... Nor did Minako, except -
"Hey girl! Minako's here to brighten your day!" Minako said, standing at the entrance to the temple, giving a salute like she was an idol on stage. "How's it hanging, Rei?"
"Not good," Rei replied. "We have to get out of here, and stay away from Mamoru. I had a vision of the future, and - "
"Yeah, yeah! Love triangles are never healthy for a group. Might be best if we laid low for a bit then, huh?"
Her eyes were sparkling as she said that. Her intentions weren't honest at all, were they? She was using that as an excuse to hit the town with Rei, right? Urgh! Fine, whatever, so long as they avoided their usual hangouts, this shouldn't be an issue.
"What do you think the issue with Mamoru is?" Minako asked. "I mean, I was joking earlier, but it's probably not a romantic thing, is it?"
"Probably not," Rei replied. She couldn't work it out herself either. Something about the future felt... inherently off. Like it was just fundamentally wrong to what she'd seen of it before. Something had twisted it, turned it upside down, and the fact it wasn't showing her the details was extremely concerning. "We'll figure it out in time, I guess. I just hope we can meet up with the others to discuss it before it becomes an issue."
"Yeah, of course! I'm sure Ami will be able to puzzle it out with that big brain of hers!" Minako said. Right. That's somewhere they ought to head to as soon as they can. Still, this gnawing feeling in her gut was hard to ignore. Something weird was going on. Something super weird, even by their high standards!
"Hey, girls! You look like you could do with some cutie wooty stuffed plushies! They come in all shapes and all sizes, yay!"
Ignoring the obnoxious saleswoman. Plush toys like that were anything but Rei's thing. Especially when she had other matters on her -
"I'll take six!"
"Minako!" Rei tweaked her ear and pulled her away. "We don't have time for - "
Somehow, Minako slipped out of her grip and was back at the salesgirl, chatting away like it was no big deal. Oh! That girl really was just like Usagi, wasn't she? Getting distracted at a time like this! What was she thinking? Was she even thinking?!
"By the way, I couldn't help but notice that those aren't button eyes, nor are they black bauble or painted or glass, or anything but real," Minako said cheerily. "You wouldn't be corrupting your customers and turning them into stuffed toys, would you?"
"Tee hee! You have such a vivid imagination, you should become a writer!"
By the time she'd finished saying that Rei had ducked into a nearby alley and transformed into Sailor Mars. Right. She forgot sometimes that Sailor Venus had been doing this for a lot longer than they had under the codename Sailor V. In an instant she was standing out there in her Sailor uniform, brandishing a flaming ofuda while staring meaningfully at the dolls.
"Stand aside citizen, I shall test this myself!" Sailor Mars announced. The shopkeeper tried to stand in her way - and showed a surprising amount of strength, too! "Nnnrgh! Only a youma could be this strong! Release those people from the hell you've trapped them in!"
A moment later, and a chain made of yellow hearts appeared out of nowhere to wrap around the youma, pulling her away from Mars, but mostly out of surprise. After a moment, the seemingly mousy looking shopkeeper, who had been cute and cuddly, turned into...a mouse lady.
What does that look like? Well, imagine a bunny girl but with mouse ears instead.
"Careful there, or the big D will sue~" Sailor Venus blew a kiss. "Now, release those souls, or -"
She was interrupted by a plush bear jumping on her face. It seemed that this youma was not in the mood to mess around!
"Hrmph! Foolish interrupting heroes!" the youma jeered, while letting her plush toys do the fighting for her. Mars aimed a finger, and - "Ah, ah, ah! Careful now, those hold the souls of the very people you want to save! I control those bodies. If anything were to happen to them, well, their souls would be lost forever, wouldn't they?"
Why that cheeky - you could almost taste the evil coming out of her mouth. She was enjoying herself. Loving every moment of it. The worst kind of enemy! The sort that had a sneaky attack that was easy to underestimate, who had no trouble using hostages to keep you at bay, and was also more than happy to gloat about it!
But before they could get overwhelmed... a single rose shot out across the street, landing in the wall right next to the youma's head. Mars made sure to look only at the youma, but that had been so cool it made her heart pound and her pussy go <i>yes please</i>.
"Such cruelty is unbefitting such a pretty creature as yourself," Mamoru's voice crooned, and he sounded like syrup. His voice was deep, a silky baritone that made her feel like gushing on the spot. "I must insist that you come forward now, accept your righteous punishment, and unleash those imprisoned souls from their resting spots."
"Venus, don't look at him," Mars warned. Judging from the reaction from the youma, looking directly at Mamoru Chiba right now was the most dangerous thing a woman could do. The mere sight of him had rendered this cocky youma wobbling on her feet.
"Oh god he's so hot," the youma stared at him as if she'd forgotten how to blink. She preened herself, wet her lips and adjusted her posture from battle to prowling for dick. Mars winced. She'd been rather cruder in her thinking since Mamoru had arrived. The youma strutted right by her without so much as a by your leave, as if they hadn't even been fighting "Hey there big boy, I see you have three beautiful women on your big manly arms already, but is there room for one more?"
"There sure is!" said Usagi. Who had been silent until now. Mars felt herself turning green. This wasn't good!
"Now, now Usagi dear, I'm the one who decides to join the group," Mamoru said firmly, yet gently. "So? Are you going to do what you were told and release the souls?"
"Venus, we're getting out of here," Mars said, reaching back and grabbing the girl, hauling ass out of there before they were nothing but hot pieces of ass. Her body was aching to look back. To see with her own eyes. To know for a fact that there was a manly, manly hunk back there. A slab of beefcake so hot you immediately became subservient to him. "I think I know what the future was trying to warn me about!"
