It was a night like any other. The sun had long set as "Masumi," on her way home from the one of Juuban's photo labs -- had spotted a youma draining the life force from an innocent bystander! And obviously she couldn't have that! As she held her hand in the air, she transformed into the sailor suited soldier of love and justice... Sailor Mnemosyne!

She sprinted forward, confident that she would reach the scene in time before it was too late. Jumping up to the roof with the moonlight shining at her back, she called out bravely -- "Hold it right there!" Striking a pose, she sized up the monster below, and took note of the captive in its grip. "Picking on those who want to reminisce about loved ones is disgraceful! One of the most precious things is recalling times of spent with friends and family! In the name of the river of memories, Mnemosyne, Sailor Mnemosyne won't forgive you!"

( 'syne's new career just so happens to be that of a legit sailorsenshi!! replies as allies, enemies or even those mistaken as the 'youma' are welcome ;] )

Another magical girl was down below, running towards the youma- which had evidently morphed itself into a remarkably cute, fluffy white creature. It was a dream of before, when she'd still been hunting him, long before she'd learned to tolerate him.

"Kyuubey!" Homura called out the name. Her eyes flickered towards the silhouette of the senshi above, then back to her prey. "You have nowhere to run at this moment."

Shock washed over Mnemosyne's face as the other girl made the scene. They way that she was dressed... could it be? Another sailorsenshi?! With a hop down to the ground from her perch she landed softly, facing the creature, but regarding Homura with a quick flick of her gaze.

"You're familiar with this youma?" she asked, trying to make her voice as even as she could.

"I've been called a lot of names," comes a slightly childlike voice from near Mnemosyne's feet, "But never a youma. It doesn't seem like you like them very much, though."

Homura already regretted letting Kyuubey speak at all, but she brushed her hair out of her way. "I've been hunting that thing for quite some time," she says flatly.

She turned back towards the prey, her eyes narrowing. "This is the first time I've seen one like this," she confessed, regarding the creature a little differently now. Why didn't it attack them? It was certainly smaller than most youma, but -- there was something else. Something about those eyes... "What is it?"

"I'm Kyuubey!" He cheerfully waved a paw up at Mnemosyne, completely contradicting the impression Homura had tried to give. He was, after all, truly interested in a magical girl he couldn't place himself.

"He is a nuisance." Homura's straight face was another lesson in contrast, next to that good-natured friendliness.

There was a sharp gasp from Mnemosyne as the youma spoke. Sure, they could speak every now and then, but coherency and even friendliness... that was a little hard to come by in their kind

Mnemosyne looked from the girl to the creature in surprise, realizing that she wasn't all that shocked by his willingness to communicate. She decided, this time, to turn back towards the animal.

"Kyuu...bey? Is that your name?"

She could send an arrow through Kyuubey right now- but it wouldn't stop him, and besides, this foolish girl in front of her was already a magical girl, and not the one she intends to protect. Homura settled for... monitoring the conversation.

It left Kyuubey the chance. "I'm sorry if I haven't given a very good impression," he put on a small show of regret. "We've had our own arguments after knowing each other this long."

Only a sharp eye would have caught Homura's quick, unfeigned surprise. Did he know-? Her one trump card...

"Knowing... eachother?" That wasn't exactly the role of a youma, which made her frown as she repeated his words. This creature... "What -- are you?" she asked, and without waiting for an answer, persued -- "Are you allies?" she wondered. Was this something akin to the guardians of Mau?

"We are not allies." This time, Kyuubey seemed content to let Homura speak uninterrupted. "We have many causes to disagree and have no goal in common."

This was, strictly, true.
