Michiru: (Glanced
at the clock as it read 1:30 p.m. She sighed and went down the hall,
picking
up her belongings from before and placing the rolled-up picture of
Haruka
into her bag. The next and last class was Music, her favorite subject
of
the day. She loved having Music as the last class, for it helped to
cheer
her up. Michiru stopped at the auditorium, picked up her violin case
and
proceeded down to the orchestra room. While she was tuning her
instrument,
her mind wandered back to the two people who helped her with the youma.
Lately, she had been sensing a familiar presence nearby, something that
should have been taken care of a while ago. She thought)
No, It can't be her again... can it? (She shook her head and set
her
case down, picking up her violin. She played her favorite melody before
the class started, hoping that wherever Haruka was, she could hear it.
At this thought, she smiled and put her violin in rest position as the
instructor walked into the room)
Gin: (Found her
way to
the orchestra room, she makes he way to her seat ignoring the stares of
some of the other students. Sure she was new.. so what if it was rare
for
a new person to nab one of the top and few in numbers anyway spots for
flutes in the orchestra. She sits down and puts her instrument together)
Michiru: (glanced
towards the girl with the flute and noticed that she was new. She
smiled
at her when she looked in her direction and got up to approach her) Hello.
I'm Kaioh Michiru. Are you a new student here? (she asked politely)
Gin: (looks up at
Michiru
and replies in her usually cool manner) Yes, I am. My name is
Yoruno
Gin. I just started attending today.
~At Juuban High~
Minako: (Sat
there shocked as the wind picked up suddenly watching the papers fly by
and Usagi screaming and thinks)
What the heck is going on here?
Chase: (His
thoughts on
an excuse were interrupted by the sudden wind. He mumbles under his
breath)
Great, now what's going on? I know it isn't Meg, her powers aren't
affiliated
with the wind.. but I know mine won't do any good to stop this..
Akina: (Looks
at Andor, knowing that these winds were his doing)
What the heck is he doing this for?
Andor:
Hmph... (The winds picked up for only awhile just enough to set
chaos
in the room but after awhile, the elf made the winds stop completely.
He
leaned back in his chair looking the most calm one in the entire class
of flying papers. Andor's sapphire eyes glanced over at Usagi and
Minako
who were panicking a bit now) I shouldn't have did that but... (Gives
that girl Akina such a cruel glare) She should have never used her
powers to alter time!
Akina: (glares,
but turns away quickly, acting like it never happened) What? Is
that
supposed
to scare me?
Andor:
No, but my hope is to teach you a lesson you little witch. (Andor
said
with a sharp snarl. The elf was in a true bad mood now. He didn't
appreciate
ever meeting such a rude human girl who's personality was less
desirable
than a female mongrel!) But any ways... sit down before you make a
fool of yourself.
Akina: (yawns)
You really bore me... and I'm no witch if that was what you were
thinking.
This is a waste of time any ways. (sits down, yawning once more,
not
to mock Andor, but because the drain of the time shifting made her much
weaker)
Andor:
Indeed... you are truly a waste of a good night of passion between your
father and mother... (Andor muttered under his breath as he almost
hissed
at the girl half way demon like. He really didn't like her in the least)
Minako: (Calms
down now and looks at Andor, and whispers to him)
Andor-kun you can use you powers with transforming?
Chase: (grabs
some papers
that flew from his notebook including Megan's note from before lunch
and
slips them back into it and mutters to himself) Do people here
really
use their powers in school? If we did that in our school we would of
been
severely punished. (sighs looking down at his notebook than back to
Megan's seat wondering where his best friend has gone)
Akina: (that last insult Andor said
really hurt her, making her heart
ache
in sadness. Many tears dropped onto her notes, as she tried to hold
back
this sign of weakness) Don't talk to me, I have no reason to even
give
you a second of my time.
Andor: (glanced
over at Minako for a moment before turning his eyes back to this once
cruel
now sobbing girl)
I can use my powers whenever I want... that is what makes me a little
unique...
but I can only use a lil bit of it. (He said in a slight whisper
before
commenting Akina again) As do I. You are worthless any ways... (Calmly
opens one of the text books he had on his desk and reads)
Usagi: (blinked
and looked back and forth between Andor and Akina. As she noticed tears
beginning to fall from Akina's face she shook her head. Deciding Andor
was fine by himself, she walked over to Akina, and kneeled down by her
desk. She quickly searched through her pocket and pulled out a piece of
candy, handing it to her) Oh, please try to cheer up a little...
Akina: (scowled
seeing this offering, tossing it to the ground) I don't need your
sympathy.
I just have a little something in my eye, that's all. I don't need
anyone
to cheer me up, I'm just fine. I don't need anyone. (say this,
clenching
her skirt with her hands, feeling as if maybe that wasn't the best
thing
to say)
Rikki: (gives
a look to Andor from behind and then glances towards Akina. she wanted
to say something in Akina's defense but couldn't think of
anything. she muttered
under
her breath, hoping nobody would hear her) Cold hearted little....
Minako: (looks
at what Akina's response to Usagi was and mutters)
How can you just turn down Usagi-chan like that.
Akina: (her
cold face started to melt looking a bit sad) I'm sorry. I am just
not
used to this act of kindness. (picks the candy back up, smiling at
Usagi)
Could you please forgive my rudeness?
Andor:
Look at how that little twit tries to redeem herself after being such a
rude, mongrel.. (Andor grumbled a bit under his breath. Oh how he
loathed
this girl and any other rude people like her) Ugh... I hope she is not
with your lil sailor group Minako...
Akina: (smirks,
hiding another one of her cards behind her back as it was glowing
slightly)
Why thank you. (putting it back away, she smiled lightly at the
revenge
she had planned)
Andor: (was
of course eyeing Akina closely. That elf just didn't trust this little
harlot at all. If needed, he would hurt that little twit if she did
something
mischievous to the sweet and humble Usagi)
Pots: (padded out
of the
classroom from where the winds rose up in a slight chaotic fury)
Rad:
Did you put the note on?
Pots: Yea. I put the
note
on his backpack.
Rad:
All right. Let's go downstairs.
Pots: Hey Rad, I'm
gonna
go visit with the blue haired senshi that helped us earlier.
Rad: (smiled)
All right bud, just watch out. (As soon as they got outside, Pots
leapt
into the air and Wings soared over the buildings. Rad sat down with
apples
and a CD player and went about his business, although he was waiting
for
the controller of the winds)
~At Muugen Gauken~
Michiru: (She
smiled) Nice to meet you. I'll be seeing you around, then. (Turning
around, Michiru thought to herself) That girl had a high level of
energy,
I felt it, (the aqua haired girl thought) I'd better pay closer
attention to her. (she mentally noted. She sat back down in her
seat
and picked up her violin again)
Gin: (carefully
watched
Michiru as she walked back to her seat and thought to herself) I
could
feel something about her. If only i can get close enough to tap into
her
mental waves... (she turns back to her music ignoring the mumbling
students
in Michiru's section)
Student A: I can't
believe
Kaioh-sempi talked to that girl.
Student B: I know..
she's
so weird.. She hardly talks and when she does she's so cold and mean
sounding.
Student C: Not only
did she
mange to get 1st chair here but i heard she's a natural with a sword..
she beat the whole fencing team..
Student B: Not only
that
but i heard she did the same to the Kendo team.. didn't even break a
sweat..
Student A: I heard
that she's
like the only girl that on both teams.. just because of her shear
power..
Student C: She's also
like
a genius too.. I had Chemistry with her.. we were all struggling and
with
the practice problems and she had them done in a few seconds.
Student A: No way.. I
guess
that's what you get when your some snooty rich girl from America..
Student B: But i
heard she
never had lessons in her life.. it's all natural..
Student C: That's
bull..
no one is naturally THAT good..
Gin: (her silver
eyes
glared at the three chatting girls and she turns back to her music and
mutters) God.. I hate people...
Michiru: (She
continued playing her violin, but side-long glanced at the three girls
that were talking about Gin. When they finished their conversation, her
eyes went back to the girl that she had just finished talking to, her
suspicion
growing) First chair in the flute section, beating every member of
the fencing AND kendo team. Very strange indeed... (but she decided
to save the thoughts until after class when school was out)
Pots: (padded
into the
band room and slunk around until he sat out of sight under a shelf
where
some of the instruments were stored. Pots then watched and listened
from
his little cove)
Candace: (having
a free block at this point, also sat in the auditorium, watching the
band
play their song with a smile on her face. She would play her saxophone
if she had brought it, but.. of course she forgot it. So she just sat
in
the fourth row and watched cheerfully)
Gin: (continues
to play
her flute, catching Michiru's side glance to her and thinks) Maybe
i can do it now while she's playing if i concentrate hard enough.. but
it could leave me weak too..
~Elsewhere~
Gerrard &
Ignus: (sat
in the town square again)
Gerrard:
One or the other bud.
Ignus:
I'll go for Wings.
Gerrard: (smiled
and walked the opposite direction that Ignus was heading)
I'll go for Heavy Metal.
~Back At Juuban High~
Minako:
Not as far as I know of Andor. I've never met her before. She must be
new
to this school like you.
Usagi: (blinked
a few times, caught more off guard by the sudden mood change then
anything
else. Then she smiled brightly at Akina)
You're new here, right? It's ok, you must be having a hard time since,
so it's understandable that you're upset. My name's Usagi, I don't
think
I caught yours.
Akina: (smiled
sweetly at Usagi, although a hint of sadness was still in her eyes)
It's Akina. And very pleased to meet you. Please forgive me for my rude
behavior before. I am just not used to such a place as this. Please
accept
an invitation to my house as my apology.
Dana: (watched
the little
feud from afar, keeping her distance and scratching her head
occasionally
at what was said, but most of it she didn't pay attention to. Every now
and then she'd glance at Andor's ears and shake her head thinking)
I'm imagining things. (And go back to drawing on her bag with white
out. Looking back up once more, she tilted her head curiously, but once
more went back to drawing a cat on her bag)
Andor: (This
little
sour witch was inviting Usagi to her home all a sudden!? This smelled
just
like a set up to Andor's nose. The elf truly hoped that Usagi planned
not
on going to this strange girl's home! It wouldn't be safe for the
pretty
odango girl to go to some Bi-polar witch's lair! He glanced over at
Minako
in disbelief as he listened to Usagi and Akina speak still)
Amazing...
Usagi: (smiled
brightly at Akina, completely unaware of any hostilities the girl may
have,
and also unaware of Andor's suspicions. She nodded to her)
All right! I'll come on over!
Akina: (smiles
once more) Ok, you may bring some friends as well. (looks at
Andor,
giving a light evil smirk then turning back to Usagi) I am glad you
have accepted my offer. (puts her hand out) I hope we can be
good
friends, Miss Usagi.
Andor: (seemed
highly worried now that Usagi was blindly accepting the fake kindness
that
reeked from this girl named Akina. He could tell that this girl was
nothing
but horrible trouble for him and his new found friends. He vowed to
kill
Akina if worst come to worst. No one will hurt Usagi. The elf did blink
a bit when he heard Chase's voice from the other side of the classroom.
How on earth did that boy know he used his powers to start those winds?
This... was getting far too interesting)
Minako: (looks
at Akina and Usagi)
Leave it yo Usagi-chan to make a new friend out of anyone. (then
turns
to Andor) Nani Andor-kun?
Chase: (sighs
heavily
not knowing Andor heard him and says to himself) Dang it! I can't
just
leave to look for her.. but i can't just leave her alone.. who knows
what
she'll do..
Sunny: Larf, (Sunny
said
poking him)
Larf:
What, (He said, he had been watching the little "event" between his
classmates)
Sunny: I'm getting
the same
feeling from all of the others over there, Larf, what do you think it
is?
Larf: (smiled)
Well, whatever it is, if they have ill intentions, I'll protect you,
and
if they try to hurt you, they'll wish they were never born.
Sunny: You and your
violence.
Cesika: (blinked
quietly arriving back in the classroom. It seemed strange to her
that things were moving so fast today, but she wasn't going to argue, she looked down to the
unfinished sketch in her notebook) Guess i'll just have to finish
it
from memory... (She then sat in her desk flipping the page so that
she
could take notes)
Chase: (puts his
head
on his desk and sighs heavily, then closes his ice blue eyes in order
to
think)
Minako:
Hey.. Andor.. (she pokes him) What is it? You didn't answer me..
~Meanwhile~
Ayekanaru:
I sense strong energies on this planet (she thought to herself)
where can I land my ship? (the girl was flying a wooden spaceship no bigger than herself over Juuban
park. Seeing a lake, she decided to and on it, but instead she clumsily
landed on a rock and her ship began to sink)
Help! (she cried, as her ship fell apart and sank to the bottom)
Ahh! I cannot swim!
Setsuna (Evil one):
(Getting
bored of playing games, walked outside) There's got to be something
to do!
Ben: (was running
down
the street when Akina's time shift kicked in. After living for 4000
years,
one starts to notice how slow time seems to pass, so he was able to
detect
the shift right away) What the? Who could be doing this I wonder? (Unfortunately
for him, he was too busy wondering and not paying attention to the
sidewalk
in front of him. As a result, he collided head first with
Setsuna,
winding up sprawled on the ground) Owwwww.... Sorry about that
miss,
I should have been watching where I was going.
~At Muugen~
Gin: (makes her
decision
in her head) There's something about her I know it.. so I'm going
risk
it. (she reaches a long rest in her part and as she puts her flute
down
she closes her eyes only looking like she's in deep thought to others
as
she mentally calls upon her powers) Silver Dragon... hide the aura
of my powers to all who can sense them... (she then secretly with
her
powers hidden enters Michiru's mind and scans her memories, until she
starts
to lose strength and pulls back thinking to herself) This is
draining
today.. I'm not as strong as usual.. but just to be sure i'm not found
out i will use all i can to cover it up.. even if it makes me pass
out.. (concentrating
hard she again calls out in her head) Silver Dragon.. use all my
strength
erase all traces of what i've just done to that girl.. (after the
task
was complete Gin passes out right there causing the girls around her to
scream)
Michiru: (Hearing
all the girls start to scream, Michiru immediately stopped playing her
violin and looked up from the music. Her eyes widened when they saw
that
the girl she had just been talking to a while ago was laying sprawled
on
the floor. Standing up, she set her violin down on the chair and
hurried
over to Gin)
What
happened here? (she asked, looking over at the other students)
Candace: (stood
up in the audience when Gin passed out as well. Climbing over the seats
and standing at the edge of the stage she looked over at Michiru)
Is she okay? (She brushed the long blonde hair out of her face and
hopped
onto the stage taking a closer look at her) Never known someone to
pass out playing flute... trumpeter or french horn, maybe.. but flute?
Pots: (crawled
out and
stood up. He started to take whiffs of the air and padded toward the
crowd
of girls) There seems to be a bit of foul play.
Girl: (short of
shaking
in shock) I don't know what happened... She just set her flute down
and closed her eyes.. I thought she was just counting her rest.. and..
and then.. she just fell to the floor..
Michiru: (picked
up Gin's body) Someone help me take her to the nurse. (She
proceeded
to carry her out of the room and into the hallway, brushing a stray
strand
of green hair out of her face. Propping Gin up against the wall, she
waited
for a student to help carry her to the nurse's office)
Candace: (Quickly
followed Michiru, quickly taking a hair tie from her wrist and tying
her
hair out of her face)
How can I help? (She asked in a panicked tone, looping her fingers
together
anxious to do something, but honestly not wanting to hurt the
unconscious
girl)
Michiru:
Here... help me carry her down to the nurse's office. (Michiru
lifted
Gin's body again, making sure not to hurt her. She staggered down the
hall
and towards the elevator, pressing the button with the down arrow. It
lit
up the second she pressed it and waited for the elevator to come)
Candace: (Did
as she was told, helping Michiru carry Gin, and once the elevator had
come,
she helped move the girl into the small room and pushed the button for
the first floor. Brushing her fringe out of the way, Candace gave a
quick
look to Michiru)
D-Did
you see her do anything suspicious? You know.. like maybe she was dizzy
before she went to band? Oh.. and her name, I never got her name or
yours...
I'm Candace, I'm new here... don't really know my way around or
anything
quite frankly.
Michiru: (She
smiled gratefully at Candace)
My name is Kaioh Michiru, and her name is Gin. She is new here as well.
(Her smile faded) I didn't see anything suspicious about
her, but
she had her eyes closed during the rest for the flutes. Perhaps she was
just concentrating hard on the music, because that's what everyone else
said. (Michiru took a deep sigh, then moved Gin's body out of the
elevator
with Candace)
Pots: (tumbled
from the
staircase and saw Michiru and Candace walking with the unconscious girl
in her arms. Pots scurried down the hallway to keep up)
~Back At Juuban High~
Akina: (looks
at her notes, trying to pay attention to class, nodding off to sleep at
times) Gotta... stay awake... So... Tired... (closing her eyes
she
falls out of her desk and on to the floor, unconscious)
Andor: (A
sharp sound of laughter came from Andor when he saw the girl he
despised
so, fall out of her desk and on to the floor like a log. By now the
teacher
was having a field day with Akina and was yelling at her to get up. The
elf was grinning mischievous as he eyed the very sleepy girl)
Hehehe.. (But he realized that she wasn't getting up, he rose an
eyebrow
and looked at Minako) Um... is she okay..?
Minako: (sits
there staring unsure of what to do..) I don't think she is Andor....
Chase: (after
hearing
Akina crash to the floor picks his head up from the desk) What
happened
to her?
Demi: (the
classroom door opened and revealed a young woman in a blue office
dress,
her flame red hair tied in a bun and a pair of glasses balanced
daintily
on her nose. She sat down at the teacher's desk and cleared her
throat
to get the class' attention) Students, I'm sorry to tell you that
Miss
Eimenshaw will not be teaching you this semester, for she has left on
maternity
leave. I'll be substituting for Eimenshaw until she returns. My name is
Miss Tokowara.
Cesika: (looked
up from her notes and blinked at Akina who had fallen out of her desk
asleep
apparently. She thought for a few moments then rose to her feet moving
over to the girl on the floor, shaking her lightly to see if she would
awaken) Either
she's
a very heavy sleeper... or she's hurt... (She nodded her head
feeling
rather smart for making the otherwise obvious accession of the
situation,
shaking Akina a little more) Hey... you ok???
Usagi: (Her
eyes widened as Akina fell unconscious. She dashed over to her, and
noticing
Cesika couldn't get her awake, she dashed over to the teacher, her eyes
already starting to fill up with tears)
Sensei! I think Akina just passed out!!
Andor:
I don't think its something too serious.... (Andor said in a
whisper
as he glanced back at the unconscious Akina. He was more than glad to
to
see that the girl was still breathing despite the hatred he had for the
lil snob. But it was a scary sight to see a fallen student on the floor
like that. It was like she fainted or had a stroke or something)
Akina: (She
woke up, her eyes opening slowly to see so many people looking)
What's...
going on? (Akina tries to get up, but falls back down again,
clutching
her head) I don't feel very well.... (raises her hand)
Sensei,
may I please go to the nurse's office?
Other Teacher: Yes,
you may,
Akina-san. Would anyone please volunteer to help Akina to the nurse's
office?
Andor:
I will. (It was a big surprise that the elf said that. Usagi and
Minako
had to have been staring at him in disbelief as he got out of his desk.
Andor nodded at the teacher for her permission) I will make sure
she'll
get their safe and sound... (His eyes glanced over at Akina)
Akina: (blinked
in surprise, not expected Andor, who hated her, to actually help)
Arigotou, Andor-san.
Teacher: All right.
You may
take her there. Please do not be too long.
Akina: (starts
walking out of the classroom with Andor beside her, then starts talking
weakly) Why did
you
say you were going to? I know you hate me.
Andor:
Yes, I do hate you but I do not kick a man when they are ill. (He
gave
her a slight glance from the corner of those sapphire eyes. To be
truthful,
the only reason he volunteered was to find out if this girl was a
friend
or a foe. In order to make sure that Akina, the girl who controls time,
was not an enemy... he had to be a bit forward with her and catch her
alone
without anyone looking) So... how are you able to control time,
Akina?
Akina: (chuckles)
So, you're one of the many few that actually notice? Well, I got that
ability
as a birthday present from my sister. Why do you ask exactly?
Andor:
Of course I notice... these ears mean more than just framing my face. (Andor
joked lightly as his eyes still looked over Akina a bit warily. He
didn't
understand what she meant "a gift from her sister" so he had to pry
more)
So... are you one of the senshi warriors?
Akina: (looks
at him curiously) Senshi warriors? Never heard of them.
Andor:
So... you just got your abilities from your sister? (Andor was
prying
a bit more now as he walked with Akina. He stopped talking once they
reached
the stairs leading down to the nurse's office) I really don't
understand
how... you could have her powers then.
Akina:
I said I got that ability as a gift from my sister, not all of my
powers
I got from her. (looks at Andor, smiling sweetly, her eyes looking
sad
as usual) And it's it's true, this used to be her power... when she
was alive...
Andor:
Oh... I'm sorry. (That stopped Andor from interrogating further as
they
walked down the stairs. Perhaps, he shouldn't talk about this issue
anymore.
It was obvious that Akina was still in pain about her sister's death.
The
elf wondered vaguely how did her sister die)
Akina: (smiles
weakly) It's all right... You didn't know about it in the first
place. (raises one eyebrow) How come you aren't insulting me or
anything?
You still hate me, don't you?
~Back in the Classroom~
Cesika: (smiled
quietly seeing that the girl had awakened and had left for the nurse's
office, she returned to her seat. Returning to taking notes on
the
lesson once the teacher continues)
Other Teacher: (says to Demi) I'm sorry
for handling that on you Miss
Tokowara..
I leave the class to you now. (And leaves)
Chase: (His
concern
grows for his friend and raises his hand) Tokowara-sensei, may I go
find Starry-san, She's been missing since lunch and I think she may not
be feeling well.
Kira: (sits in class, wanting school to be over
with,she hated it. Not that she didn't like to learn,it was that,
she ever fit in, she didn't really have any friends. Not to mention
that her brother went to the same school, luckly not the same grade,
but he made sure that she never had any friends, or got along with
anyone)
Demi: (smiled at the other teacher) No biggie, (she
said. As Chase asks to go look for his friend, she thinks for a moment)
Of course you can Chase-kun. Miss Minako, would you accompany him in
case he needs help?
Chase: (stands up and walks to the door) Thank you
Tokowara-sensei. (he waits at the door for Minako)
Minako: Eh??? Why do I have to go Tokowara-sensei?
Chase: (sighs as he waits for Minako as she questions
Tokowara-sensei) Nevermind, Tokowara-sensei. I will be fine looking
for her on my own Aino-san can stay in class if she wants to. (he
leaves and heads down the hall, first stop the nurses office. Then he
notices Andor and Akina still making their way there and apporches them)
Ano... excuse me Andor-san, Akina-san. Have you by any chance seen
Starry-san on your way?
Akina: (shakes her head, never even hearing the name
before) No, I haven't. Gomenasai, I can't really help you then..
Chase: (sighs) Very well, Thank you anyway. (starts
to walk down the halls then stops and turns back facing the two)
Ano.. I think maybe you two should actually get to the office soon
before Tokowara-sensei thinks you guys are skipping or something maybe.
I just know you two have been out of class for quite awhile now.
Akina: (nods and bows) Arigatou. (walks off
again like she was doing before)
Muza: (ran down the hallway, grumbling to himself
about Akina's behavior again. As the cat didn't pay attention to where
he was going, Muza charshed right into Chase)
Chase: (as he turned to leave the two again he feels
something hit his leg) What the? (he looks down to see a cat at
his feet, he gently picks the cat up) Where did you come from?
Akina: (turned around to see Muza being picked up by
Chase. She quickly ran over) Muza! What are you doing here!? (she
took Muza from Chase, stratching his head) Gomenasai... He must
have followed me to school. (glares at her cat in disappointment of
his behavior) Bad cat!
Chase: (smiles) It's ok Akina-san he did no harm. (pets
the cat) I happen to have a cat myself so know how much
trouble they can be. Well now, I guess I should go look for Starry-san.
Unless you and Andor-kun are going to risk getting in trouble and help
me.
~At Muugen~
Gin: (her
eyes flutter
open as she wakes up in the nurse's office) Uhh.. what happened?
Where
am I? (she tries to sit up but feels dizzy and falls back onto the
bed)
Michiru: (smiled gently at Gin) You passed out
during music class. Please get some rest, (she said softly and
stood from where she was laying) Everything is alright now, I guess
I will see you later. Feel better, okay (Looking towards Candace,
she started for the door)
Gin: (watches Michiru as she leaves and thinks to
herself) I wasn't expecting to lose that much energy doing that.
Could it be because...(she shakes her head) No it can't be
that.. it's been like that forever and it's never happend before... (she
feels her energy coming back and gets up from the bed. Gin leaves the nurse's
office and goes to get her things, as she leaves Muugen and sudden gust
of wind comes across the trees) What the... (the leaves from
the tress circle around her and in front of her a girl her age in a
elaborate uniform. Gin glares at the girl.) Wh.. why are you still
alive? Didn't I kill you after what you did to me?
Uniformed Girl: Heh, but you are weak Gin.. You could
never and
never will be able to fully kill me like you do to all your other
enimies. So I will always come back to kill you and everything close to
you.
Gin: I came here to make sure no one could hurt those
close to me ever again! And you will never be and exception!
Uniformed Girl: Is that so? (she smirks) Then why
am I still here? Come on try and kill me again.. Gin.. or should I
say...
Gin: SHUT UP!!! (she throws her bag down) You will
never have your way and you will die by my hand! (she
scans the area for minds of others and find the coast to be clear. She
grabs her dragon pendant around her neck and mentally calls her henshin
phrase and in a blinding flash of silver light the silver cloaked
senshi appears) You always will pay for what you have done to me
with your life! (she draws her silver dragon sword)
Uniformed girl: (smirks) Heh, as you wish.. (and
a dark sword appears in her hands)
Michiru: (As the elevator doors closed, Michiru
suddenly
sensed a wave of both dark and light energy. The elevator made its way
up the floors, and she started to realize that the source of energy was
coming from the ground floor outside. Her hand immediately flew to her
henshin pen and grasped onto it) Neptune Crystal Power! Make up!
Pots: (Ran down the hall too late as the elevator
doors shut and Michiru started to go up. He scratched the door a few
times. Then turned and headed for the stairs. As he started to run up
the first few, he huffed for a second, but kept going) Haven't
gotten much exercise in a while. Woof. (With that, Pots hopped a
little faster, still giving off the occasional huff)
Neptune: (Looked down through the glass floor to see
the dog from earlier, she thought) Strange he's been following me
all day. (The elevator make a beep as it reached the third floor.
She decided it would be best if she took the stairs from here. The
senshi rushed downwards, and on her last staircase, she saw that same
dog, huffing as he made his way up. For a minute, she paused and simply
looked at him, then was reminded of the situation outside and rushed
past him) Sorry, I've got business to attend to. (She stopped
at the entrance to see a sailor senshi and another woman facing her)
Who in the world?
Pots: (kept running up the stairs until the senshi ran
past him. He looked back down, sneezed and shook his head, then panted)
Heck with it. (A bright light surrounded the small puppy as he grew
into a humanoid form and sprouted a pair of wings. He gripped his sword
and shield. His armor covered every bit of his body but didn't clink as
he floated down behind Sailor Neptune and said something) I'm able
to help.
Silvermoon: (senses the minds of the two behind her
and turns around her face mostly hidden from them by her cloak's hood)
Uniformed Girl: (notices the two new people as well)
Well, well, well, what have we here more senshi wanting to play. I
thought you didn't like..
Silvermoon: Shut up! (and swings her sword at her then
looks at the other two) I don't know who you are but stay out of
this! It has nothing to do with you!
Uniformed girl: (touches the cut on her face) But
it's so much more fun that way... my friend... (she positions
herself to stab Silvermoon in the back)
Silvermoon: (throws the girl to the ground with a
pyschic blast and mutters) Typical move for you.. (the glares
at the two senshi standing there) Leave now! You do not belong here!
Neptune: (Her expression turned cold as the senshi
spotted them and told them to leave. Stepping out into view, she began
to speak) My job is to protect this earth from outside invaders! If
you're not of this galaxy, then I suggest you leave now. (Sailor
Neptune's cold eyes first rested upon the senshi, and then looked
toward the other uniformed girl) I'm not about to have more
outsiders endanger the lives of innocent people! (she snapped)
Uniformed Girl: (gets up from the ground) Well, I
never thought of going after innocents but thanks for the idea.. miss
senshi.. I know that will drive her into even more madness.. (she
laughs)
Silvermoon: (glares at Neptune for putting ideas into
her enemy's head. Then she turns back to her) I won't let you harm
another innocent ever again! (She splits her sword into two and
charges at the girl attacking her ferociously)
Uniformed Girl: (tries to defend herself but
Silvermoon is somehow overpowering her, she falls to the ground
terribly injured and growls at Silvermoon even though the two swords at
pointed at her throat) You only got lucky this time.. I'll tend to
my wounds and be back to kill you once again.. who knows maybe I'll
lure you out with some innocent lives next time.. (she grins evilly
and disappears in a sudden cloud of smoke)
Silvermoon: (sheaths the two swords together, forming
back into one sword and turns to two, only her sharp eyes are clearly
visable under the cloak's hood) Look what you did now. You just
gave her ideas. If you would of kept you and your arrogence out of this
it wouldn't have gone to affecting innocents!
Neptune: All enemies are alike, (she snapped bitterly)
they will always end up going after innocent people one way or another.
If only you hadn't wasted your time and let us help you fight against
her, she probably wouldn't have gotten away that easily! (Sailor
Neptune glared back at the cloaked figure, then turned to leave. It was
almost as if a whole other person took over her as a senshi. As
Michiru, she was very gentle, polite and graceful, yet as Sailor
Neptune she had the rage of a restless ocean. As she leaped up to the
top of the building, she took one more look at the mysterious senshi)
I hope our next meeting will change my first impression of you. (With
that, she disappeared into the distance)
Wings: (heard Sailor Neptune's words and cocked
his head for a moment. He beat his wings and flew to the top of the
building. He scanned the tops for the senshi but saw nothing)
Better impression? (Wings sheathed his sword and sighed) Guess
that was kind of rude of me. (A bright light surrounded Wings and
he shifted forms from a knight to a puppy. He scratched his ear for a
moment) What could've I done to do this better. Given her flowers
and chocolates and said "Hey, can I help you?" That's about as greeting
as standing in a fast food resturant and saying "Want some more fries?"
(Pots then started to trot across the roof) Oh well,
tommorow's another day. (And with that, Pots tripped on a fallen
broom, stumbled forward, and into an open vent. Pots fell down and
landed with a 'whump' at the end of the drop. Pots sneezed and shook
dust off his fur) Why do I always find myself in these
predicaments? (Pots stood up and started to pad through the vents,
very quietly)
Silvermoon: (mutters angerly under her breath now that
Neptune is gone) Arrogent outer senshi... they think they know
everything.. (she grabs the bag on the ground and mutters)
Return to your home. (the bag dissappears and she ducks into a well
hidden area transforming back into her human self) I think I'll
take the long way home. (she leaves her hiding place and starts to
walk down the path looking up at the birds in the sky as she walks)
~Elsewhere in Tokyo~
Jessie: (finished buying her icecream, and walked out
of the store, happily eating it. She wandered aimlessly through the
streets, taking licks of it every now and then. As she walked, a song
got stuck in her head, and suddenly, she burst out singing it. Before
long, she was dancing through the streets, singing the song, getting
looks from random
people, some admiring her singing, others wondering if she was crazy
for singing in the streets to begin with)
Megan: (stares over the skyline of Tokyo her eyes red
from crying) I need to get away from this school and everyone in it
for awhile... (she teleports herself in front of the park since she
usually can find a nice spot to be alone in these kinds of areas. She
comes by the lake and notices Ayekanaru drowing in the pond, she
quickly grabs the girls hand and pulls her up and out of there) Are
you ok?
~Meanwhile~
Tiamatt: (Black scales scraped along the floor of a
large fortress, the walls seemingly made of flesh and bones, it's
single inhabitant intent on the pool in front of him. In the
silvery waters swam images of many events throughout the past, present,
but more frequently the multitudes of possible futures that lay ahead
of him. He need only to wait until the right time to begin)
~At the Park~
Megan: (getting no response from the girl, Ayekanaru,
whom she saved, she started to check to see if the girl was breathing
and everything, then she heard sirens behind her) Someone must of
called the Ambulance... (as the paramedics come up to her and the
girl she quietly slips away in the commontion not wanting to be seen.
Being new to the area she ends up getting lost in a forested area of
the park. As she looks around trying to find her way she runs into a
young man and falls down) Gomenasi! I wasn't watching where I was
going.
Ben: (Was still puzzled over what had happened with
Setsuna when he felt someone run into him, this time from behind.
Face-down in the grass, he heard Megan's apology) Why is it that
every time I meet a pretty girl I wind up on my face? (he muttered
to himself as he got up) It's alright miss, no harm done, (he
said with a smile as he plucked grass from his white hair. A patch of
green had smudged itself across Ben's cheek underneath his eye patch)
Megan: (gets up from the ground her uniform skirt now
covered in grass stains, keeping her head down she brushes away the
strands of her hair that is stuck to her face) No, no.. it's really
my fault.. I'm really sorry..
