Minako had been standing backstage for a few moments, willing herself to step out onto the stage and start the concert already. There was no point in keeping all her fans waiting longer than they had too, but Minako just couldn't shake this feeling she had. It wasn't the typical stage fright the idol normally felt. Pre-concert gitters. They were too focused for that.
Perhaps her problem was the fact that her mind was still reeling with the information Luna had provied them with that the meeting? Again Minako shook her head. That couldn't be the reason. It wasn't like bad news had scared her this much before. Frowning Minako looked down at the headset mic in her hands with an unsettiling feeling again, almost enough to make her stomach turn. It was then that she realized what it was.
Youma... And it was near...

Ami rounded the corner a concerned look on her face. Gazing around the stage area she looked for the fimilar form of the idol and found her near the stage entrance. Judging from the look on Minako's face, the idol felt the presence too. She hurried over to where she was standing. "You feel it too?" She asked as Minako nodded.

Makoto rushed in, ignoring the people trying to stop her. She had felt it; that aura. And it definitely came from around here. For a moment, she had almost forgotten today was Minako's concert, and she came face-to-face with the singer, finally coming out of her thoughts. She was slightly startled; she had been so absorbed by that strange feeling she had completely forgotten everything else that was going on around her. She wanted to say hi, but instead of a wave and greeting, something completely different came out.
"C-can you feel it...?"

Minako was startled by the sudden apperance of both Jupiter and Mercury almost at the same time. While she was touched that they'd both come to her concert, (she knew that they were both fans of her music) her mind wasn't on her concert anymore. If they aura they all felt was real... then everyone here was potentially in danger.
She gave them both a smug smile and shook her head slightly. She had felt the aura and as a Sailor Senshi had a duty to uphold. "A solider's work never seems to end." She said in a soft whisper as she held up her wrist, her senshi bracelet shinning slightly in the soft light. She could hear the cries from the people waiting for her concert to start. The chanting of 'Aino Minako' echoing threw out the hall.
She felt bad for making them wait.. Perhaps the apperance of a few Sailor Soliders could make up for it.

"So you do..." she just said. She looked at Ami, who entered at the same time as her, then back at Minako. If they all did feel that aura, then there was no doubt; something was going on. But at the same time, Minako had her fans to take care of. She frowned, then put a hand on Minako's shoulder.
"Just leave it to us. You can't just leave just as your concert was going to start. I'm sure Ami and I can manage." she said without really thinking. Then she thought; was it a good idea? They didn't know anything about that new enemy, if there really was one.

Minako glanced at Makoto and wanted to protest, she was their leader after all. "Demo.." She said softly, knowing that she really didn't have an argument to make, Makoto had a point. WIth a frown and a curt nod, Minako turned and flashed them both a quick smile before heading out threw the doors. She had a show to save.
Walking out onto the stage, Minako gave her fans and whatever else was lurking out in the shadows a bright smile! "Konnichiwa!" Her voice echoed threwout the stadium as she scanned the grounds. It could be anywhere. "Sorry about my late attendance, but you know how it is." She said as cheerful as she could, trying to keep the mood light. Without any hesitation she lapsed into the first verse of Romance her fans screaming wildly.

Ami glanced at Makoto and pursed her lips together. Had sending Minako off really been a good idea? Shaking her doubts out of her mind she crossed her arms. "We might as well transform and start looking. It has to be around here somewhere right?" Ami said softly, hoping her voice sounded more confident than she felt at the moment.

Makoto nodded firmly. She had no idea if sending Minako off was a good idea, but what was done, was done. There was no turning back, now. She quickly ran outside followed by the fellow Sailor Senshi. Looking around quickly, making sure no one was looking, she finally shouted:
"Jupiter Crystal Power, make up!"

Ami followed Makoto outside, transforming herself once she was sure there were no bystanders. All they needed was for someone to see them and find out their true identities.
"Mercury Crystal Power Make-Up!"
Transformed and ready to kick the ass of the first Youma she found, Mercury turned and glanced at Jupiter. She nodded to her fellow team mate and the two of them took off towards where they thought the aura was coming from.

Jupiter suddenly stopped at some street corner. There was absolutely no doubt about it; it was getting nearer. She started running in another direction almost immediately. Shecould feel it so clearly. Actually, it had never been so clear. They were soon going to be face to face with an enemy, and they didn't even know what it would be, this time. It could be like the enemies they faced before, but it could also be a much stronger opponent. There was only one way to find out...

Mercury wasn't the scout to rush into something she didn't know. It wasn't the smart thing to do and would only result in them being outsmarted by their opponent(s)?? Slowly almost a half a pace behind Jupiter, Mercury entered into the deserted street. She gazed around the street, trying to get a feel for where the youma or whatever it was, was hiding itself.
Without really thinking she touched the blue stud in her ear, her visor covering her eyes as she scanned again, looking for anything useful. She knew the Youma was near but couldn't pin point the location even with the aid of her visor. Frustrated she let it disappear and glanced at Jupiter again. Perhaps they should have had Minako after all. She was almost hesitent to suggest calling Rei or Usagi knowing that Usagi was more likely at the concert. Perhaps Rei was her best shot after all. "Rei-Chan?" She inqired softly?

Makoto was looking around, looking for the youma, when she heard Ami's inquiry. She stopped her searching and turned to her.
"If we are feeling its presence so strongly, I wouldn't even be surprised if Rei was already on her way..." she said, sure of what she was saying. It was true, after all; even when they couldn't, Rei always had that power to feel the presence of a Youma whenever it appeared.

Ami nodded, knowing her words were true. Rei almost always knew about the youma presences before they'd even contacted her. Hell most of the time it was her who was contacting them. Her or Minako of course. Still Ami wanted to know for sure that Rei was on her way. She pulled out her cell and pressed the symbol for Mars and waited.

A noice is heard in a small bush on the far end of the street. Seconds later there was silence. so quiet that the wind could be heard softly in both their ears. A low growl echoed throughout the empty street as if whatever made it could be anywhere. Suddenly small short breaths could be heard like that of a grizzly bear. Then once again there was silence

Shin frowned as he watched Minako on the stage singing. Of all his years of being a tacticion he could tell when someone was either hiding something or acting extremely out of character. He sighed as watched several people yelling and screaming as if nothing was wrong. He could tell. Something was on her mind that was preventing her from performing like normal. Maybe it was the fans' undying love for her that caused them not to notice. Or maybe not to care at all. However for him it meant a different story. Whenever something was troubling one of them it never meant something ordinary like an exam due the next day or whether their parents would kill them for being out too late. It was always about something more dangerous. Like Youma. At one point even himself. He grinned. (What a fool I was to let myself be engulfed with rage.) he thought before he stood up and allowed Minako to notice him over as the only person not wildly waving their hands. He didnt' want to mess up the concert by being a distraction so he waited until he was sure that she saw the serious look on his face before turning and heading for the exit. It was sure to let her know that her suspicions of a Youma were indeed correct. What type? What kind? Whether or not it was a new enemy for them to face? That was something he couldn't tell from the feeling along. However after being with the negaverse for some time he could tell whether or not the aura was good or evil and this one was definately not good. He decided to take a look around the backstage area to see if any of the others decided to show up. He know that Mamoru was probably stuck with Usagi but maybe Nephrite was able to assist him. He grabbed his phone and decided to wait and look around before bothering him.
