"I didn't suggest they ever had, Mars." she snapped, rounding on the other Senshi. She was sick and tired of her attitude. Minako had done nothing to deserve it, she was simply agreeing with Rei. Apparently even that insulted this one. "These demons are nothing like the ones from home. If your power works, than good, I'm glad to hear it. I never said it didn't." she hissed through her teeth, brown eyes flashing.
"Venus..." said Artemis. Minako looked at the white cat, eyes meeting. Something was passed between them, unsaid, which caused Artemis to sigh, but admit surrender. Venus wouldn't make Artemis come with her, he could choose where he wanted to go. Taking this chance, he hopped down from her shoulders.
Venus, turned to Usagi, forcing her temper under control. "Forgive me, Usagi-chan. But I'm afraid I have to change my mind. I do not believe me going with you would be the best decision. You'll be safe with Mars. If you ever need me, just call, and I'll come right away." Usagi meant to much to her to not help her if needed. This may not be her Princess, but she was just as important. But this, clearly, was not her team. She did not belong. Casting another sideways glance at Rei, scowled slightly, before turning and walking away. She didn't look back, and as she rounded the corner, she de-transformed, vanishing from sight.
For a moment, Artemis was left standing there, looking back and forth between where Minako had walked off, and where the other two senshi were. Sighing, he looked at Mars, and then Usagi. "Gomen, Mars, Princess. The world Minako comes from is...different. She is the designated Leader of the Senshi, after Sailor Moon." looking to Rei, he spoke mostly to her. "The version of you from her world is quite close to Minako. While you clash sometimes, you have an understanding, and you get along. You mean a lot to her, but the team she works with does not function the way yours does. I'll stay with her, but do not hesitate to call if you need us." Artemis raised his head to Luna, looked at her affectionately for a moment. "It's good to see you, Luna. I'll be in touch soon." and with that he turned, and ran off into the ally to catch up with Minako as she returned back to her hotel.
