The Other Woman Part II 

**************************** 

This is the continuation of The Other Woman, and Tanya Cambridge 
has released her fears about the woman her father has been seeing 
to Usagi and the other Inner Senshi at Mako-chan's apartment, 
(Tanya does not know yet that they are the Sailor Senshi, nor do 
any of them know that she too, is a Sailor Senshi, that series of 
stories will come soon, to make this have a little more sense:)). 
Tanya is on her porch, waiting for Usagi: 

Tanya paced her front porch impatiently and angry, while Marco, her 
guardian dog and mentor calmly watched her. "This is ridiculous!! 
Where is Usagi! She was supposed to meet me here almost an hour ago, 
where could she be?" Tanya cried angrily. 

"Tanya, will you please calm down just a little at least? I'm pretty 
sure that Usagi will be here any moment. Have you not taken anything 
seriously of what I taught you in Libya?" Marco said firmly, yet with 
a little understanding.The setting sun shined on his golden fur as 
the Golden Retriever looked up from his resting place on the porch. 

"Of course I have Marco, but I truly feel that Usagi is not making this 
any easier. I was depending on her to help me figure out what's happening 
to Dad." Tanya said a little with sadness. 

"Yes, I know sometimes Usagi can be a little...well....undependable, 
but you have to give her a chance at least. For all the time that Rei 
and the others have been her friends, I'll bet they can say that she 
has come far from the flake that Rei says she use to be," replied Marco. 
"And you know what, I am getting some strange energy from her, but it's 
familiar somehow, and good. She could finally be the key in locating the 
Moon Princess, and the other Sailor Senshi." he said hopefully. 

Tanya gave Marco a funny look, "Usagi-chan?, having anything to do with 
the Moon Kingdom and the past? Masaka! Listen, I don't mean to put the 
girl down or anything, I mean, she did become my friend when nobody else 
wanted to talk to me the first few weeks of school, but I have to say that 
is hard to believe." she said with doubt. 

"Well, believe it, because it could happen. I have confidence in that 
girl, so you better keep your eyes open." Marco retorted. Suddenly, his 
ears perked up. "Hey, stay cool, I think I hear someone coming from the 
back." he said. 

At that moment, Usagi cheerfully came around from the back of Tanya's house, 
walking through the bushes. "I think your garden needs a trim, don't you?" 
she complained as she wiped off pieces of leaves from her hair and shirt. 
Usagi then looked around curiously, but only seeing Marco on the porch 
with Tanya. "Were you talking to someone?" she asked. 

"Usagi! Where in the world have you been?! I told you to meet me here 
at six when my dad leaves, and it's almost seven! What happened?" 
Tanya shouted. Usagi flew up her hands in front of her defensively, 
thinking that Tanya was actually going to come after to pound her, 
"Hey, wait a minute! Take a chill pill, Tanya! If you must know, I had 
to look after my little brother Shingo until my parents left to see 
Michiru's violin recital. I had to convince them that I didn't want to 
for THEE longest time ever, and I had to wait until Shingo fell asleep, 
just so I could meet you!" Usagi said. "Give me a little credit, O.K.?" 

"But why didn't you call? You do have a phone." Tanya impatiently put her 
hand up to stop Usagi from replying, "Forget it, I don't want to know. 
Let's just go up the block to see if Haruka is still waiting for us. 
Hopefully, she is." 

"Alright, if you say so, but I still don't agree with this plan of yours." 
said Usagi, finally allowing herself up the small steps to join Tanya as 
she quickly let Marco inside the house, and locked the door. 

Tanya grabbed Usagi's arm by the crook and pulled her along as they both 
ran down the stairs. "Will you stop being a chicken,and come on? There's 
nothing to be afraid of. Oh man! Haruka could be gone by now! 

"Hey, slow down!" shouted the pig-tailed blonde, already out of breath. 

Turning the corner up the block, Tanya was relieved to see Haruka still 
waiting by her car, leaning coolly against it and shaking her dark blonde 
head at them as they quickly made their way towards her. 

She looked first at Usagi, then Tanya. "So, you finally made it, huh? 
But before we leave, you must tell me what craziness the both of you are 
up to." she said. 

"I'm sorry, Haruka-san, but I had to wait for Usagi, since she's coming with 
me, but like I told you on the phone, it's a very private and delicate matter, 
and I'll tell you as soon as I find out what's going on." said Tanya. 
"After all, if I did tell you, you might not go along with it, right?" She 
then winked at Haruka. 

Haruka frowned slightly. "That's debatable. However, since I knew that 
Odango Atama was coming, I figured you might be late." 

Usagi turned a little red with embarrassment, "I REALLY wish you wouldn't 
call me that, you know." she said through clenched teeth 

Haruka laughed and ruffled Usagi's pigtails, "Just kidding Neko-chan. 
But whatever the action is, you're going to have to do it without me. 
I have to pick up Michiru soon to bring her to the Hall for her recital, 
and I don't want to miss it either." 

"Don't worry, we just need you to drop us off at the church a little 
bit across town, and then pick us up if you have time. You won't miss 
a thing, so can we go? Now? Please?" begged Tanya, pulling on Haruka's arm. 

"Alright! Alright! My, but you're an impatient little thing! 
Let's go, but don't forget to give me directions." said Haruka 

Upon the directions that Tanya gave Haruka, the girls made it to the 
small unknown church that Tanya knew her father would be at, since she 
heard the woman talk about it so much. Before she drove of, Haruka warned 
them to be very careful, and that to leave right away if there is any 
trouble. Tanya thanked her and gained a new respect and admiration for 
Haruka. When the racer finally disappeared down the street, Usagi and 
Tanya slowly climbed the few steps to the front door of the church. 

"I don't get it." said Usagi nervously, "If your dad and this lady comes 
to the church so often like you said on the way here, why does it look 
so dark and abandoned?" She hesitated on the steps behind Tanya. 

Tanya turned and held Usagi's hand. "I don't know, but that's what we're 
here to find out, right? Come on." She gently tucked Usagi up the steps. 

Tanya pushed on the door, and it easily swung wide open. "Guess they were 
expecting company after all." she said, and stepped in. Both girls were 
immediately met with complete darkness, and Usagi started to whimper a little. 

"I don't like it here Tanya-chan. Let's get out of here now!" said Usagi. 
She screamed a small pitch when the door suddenly slammed shut hard. 

"It's O.K., Usagi. I'm here. Just hold my hand, and we can feel along 
thewall for a light switch or something. Watch out for the chairs and 
pews too." Tanya said, and began outstretching her hand in front of her 
and to the wall while Usagi did the same. 

"Wait a minute. I think I see a light at the end. Does this place have 
a basement or a downstairs room?" asked Usagi, pointing to the right. 

"Let's look and see." replied Tanya, and carefully both of them felt 
their way towards the light. As they got closer, the light got brighter. 

When they reach the light, they saw that it lite a doorway with stairs 
leading down, and they both began to hear a small moaning. "Hey, this 
place does have a downstairs, and it sounds like someone is in trouble. 
Come on!" whispered Tanya, and lead Usagi down the stairs. 

When they reach downstairs, they were in a a hallway with another door 
on their left side. " The moaning is coming from in there" said Usagi, 
and Tanya quickly pushed the door open. 

All of a sudden in front of them, they saw Tanya's father, his body 
sprawled on the floor his eyes closed. In front of him stood a tall woman, 
with blonde hair and holding a small glowing object in her hands. It was 
the bright Star Seed that was drained from the unconscious man. 

"Dad!" Tanya shouted. She turned to the woman standing before him. 
"I knew you had something to do with this!!" Tanya screamed in rage. 
"Who the hell are you, and what are you doing to my father?" 

"Welcome, dear. I have been waiting for you, and I am going to do to you 
exactly what I am doing to your father soon enough." The woman smiled evilly, 
and raised her arms over head, and her skull began to split open to reveal 
another head underneath, which was red, and had horns sticking out. The rest 
of her body fell away, and when she was finished, a red hoofed demon stood 
in front of the girls. 

"EWHHHHHHH! That is soo disgusting! What ARE you?!! shrieked Tanya and 
Usagi as they tried to back away from it. 

"Your worst nightmare girls, and your Star Seeds are mine!!!!! the creature 
hissed. It jumped high, opened its mouth, and shot out green acid at them. 
Usagi barely pushed Tanya out of the way in time as the acid hit the spot 
where they were just standing in. Usagi then pushed Tanya outside of the 
room and into the hallway. 

"Stay here where you'll be safe. I'll take care of this creep monster!" 
shouted Usagi as she ran back into the room. Now, as anger set in, feelings 
of fear was forgotten. Someone was in trouble, and it was up to her to save 
innocent people's live. Determination set in Usagi's heart as she now knew 
what she had to do. 

"What are you talking about? Are you crazy? What do you think you can do? 
Tanya shouted back. She tried to grab on Usagi's arm, but the senshi leader 
was too fast. 

Inside the room, Usagi confronted the demon. "Alright, Demon trash!! 
Time for you to make an exit, permanently!" 

"I don't think so, little girl!" The creature yelled back. The creature 
hissed once more, and moved closer toward the petite girl. 

"Want to make a bet? MOON ETERNAL...MAKE-UP!!" Usagi shouted fearlessly. 
Raising her right hand, she passed it over her Moon Brooch which held 
the Ginzuishou. As many times before, she went through her transformation 
to become Eternal Sailor Moon. What she didn't know, however, was 
that Tanya followed her, and peeked in the room to see everything. 

"Oh, my gosh!!" Tanya thought in disbelief, "Could it be? Usagi is 
Sailor Moon of the Sailor Senshi?
