--Motherhood-- Chapter 6: Plans By: Tisha "Okay, they'll have tight security so you all need to be in uniform and ready." Kado pointed to the map of Tokyo. "This is where it is. It's very hard to find the entrance, and once inside it's practically a maze." Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Urawa, Jifu, Shiro, and all the children were planning to get their loved ones back the next day. They were all gathered at the temple to make the plans. Kado, in between telling them important information, kept glancing at his younger self. "What about this guy in charge? We've got to do something about him so he can't try this again." "Don't worry, he'll definitely meet us before we manage to free them. This means a pretty big battle on your part." "Oh great." Makoto looked at Rei. "What?" "We've had trouble with these guys before, can you imagine what'd it would be like when we're practically thirty?" "Twenty-five thank you very much." Everyone laughed at Minako's input, glad for a distraction from the seriousness of the whole thing. Ami sighed suddenly and Urawa looked at her. "What's wrong?" She shrugged. "Just wondering why these kidnappers always show up when I'm pregnant." "What?!" Urawa was just as shocked as the others were. "Think about it. Kado's sister is three years younger than him. That's about right. It'd explain the way I've been feeling lately. I was already wondering." A silence suddenly fell over the room as everyone thought of the sacrifice they'd be taking to get everyone back. All were dreading the day to come. ••••••••••••••••••• Sailor Mercury scanned the large building with her visor. It was at least twenty stories tall and no one passing by would ever suspect that it was actually being used as a prison. "I can't get anything you guys. It must have some kind of a coating or shield." "Well then can you find an entrance?" Mercury sighed and again started her scanning. It was a few minutes before she removed the visor. "At the back of the building. There's a basement entrance. The stairs are hidden with trees." ••••••••••••••••••• Usagi quickly stood as she heard the door open. She glanced at Mamoru, who was sleeping next to Chibi-Usa. Takara and Naomi were playing together on the other side of the room. She looked back to the door to see the man come in. "I hate you people." Usagi swallowed. "Why? What do you mean?" "Your stupid friends are dumb enough to think that they can get you out. They've already made it a little ways into the building." He glanced at Usagi and saw the hope in her eyes. "I'll let them think that they might actually pull it off. And then I'll kill them." He laughed wickedly but then stopped. "Of course I didn't want to kill those two who would give birth but I might as well if they insist on being a bother." Usagi looked nervously at Naomi, who was sitting very near him. Following her line of sight, he narrowed his eyes and kicked his boot into Naomi's shin. She cried out and ran toward Usagi. "Your friends *will* regret this." With that he turned and quickly left. Usagi sighed and picked up Naomi. Suddenly realizing that she hadn't heard the click of the lock she went toward the door and turned the doorknob, shocked as it actually turned. Putting Naomi down she went over to wake her husband and daughter. To be continued...
