Boy Genius Chapter 2 *********************************************************************** *****Juuban Middle School Recess Yard**** "Can someone PLEASE explain to me again what we are doing here so early on a Saturday morning!" grumbled a sleepy Usagi. She yawned again and started rubbing her eyes in a exaggerated gesture. She then laid her head on Rei's shoulder, closing her eyes as the group continued walking. "Can it Usagi! You know very well what we are doing here!" yelled Rei as she roughly pushed Usagi off herself. "Honestly Usagi! Sometimes I wish you would just grow up!" The dark haired Shinto priestess in training stuck out her tongue at the Usagi. The petite blonde scowled in anger, and stuck out her own togue."BLEEEEEHHHH!!" they both shouted. "Will you two knock it off?" said Tanya said. She looked at Usagi and gave her an annoyed look. When everyone turned to look at her in suprise, she sighed. "Ami-chan asked us to come with her when she goes to meet Kijuro. She found out yesterday after school that he comes here on Saturday mornings to study," She looked at Usagi in a non-nonsense way. "And remember that Luna, Artermis and Marco at the Command Center said that there was something very powerful emanating from him." "That's right," said Makoto, standing between Ami and Minako. "There's a chance that Sailor Galaxia witch might target him for something, and that's why we're here! This is also an investigation, REMEMBER THAT USAGI!" Usagi sighed, then nodded. "Hai, hai! I remember now!" Slowly, the girls headed for the main entrance to the library building where they knew there where many Junior High students preparing for the entrance exams to prestigious high schools. The outside was almost deserted because the early morning hour. "You know Usagi-chan, maybe you should stop reading those manga you got from Rei and finally get to bed at a decent time. Say like, 1 a.m. instead of your usually 2 in the morning?" joked Minako as she stepped up in front of the group, facing them and walking backwards. The rest of the girls groaned, and Tanya playfully grabbed her throat and fell to the floor in a theatrical display of choking, "AKK!!! AKK!!! HELP!! MINAKO-CHAN'S JOKES ARE KILLING ME!!" she sputtered, then laughed loudly. "Ha-Ha. Very funny Minako-chan! I don't stay up until 2!" said Usagi seriously while the other girls where laughing hard. She crossed her arms over her chest and scowled, not liking the fact of being the focus of another one of Minako's bad jokes. Just as they reached the building, the door to the library suddenly swung open, and a medium height, Japanese boy of about 13 years old with black hair and brown eyes walked out, holding a stack of books proceeding to down the steps towards the girls. Looking around nervously for a moment, he then made way for the in the benches in the large yard towards the side of the building. Ami looked at the boy and stopped laughing. "Alright everyone! There he is," Ami said. She turned to her friends. "I don't want to overwhelm him or anything, so I think you guys should stay here while I go talk to him first." "Well, if you say so Ami-chan. Good luck, and don't leave anything out on your report back to us!" said Makoto. She winked at Ami as she and the other girls chuckled and walked a little ways off. Ami sighed then smiled gently as she walked up to the young boy. Almost to his seat, the boy stopped dead in his tracks as he noticed Ami walking up to him. He looked nervously about him, wondering what a pretty, older girl such as this would want with him. "Ummm...Ohaiyo! My name is Ami Mizuno, and I read about your scores yesterday on the IQ test. I was wondering if I can talk to you for a bit." Ami gave the boy a shy smile, and bowed as a show of respect. The boy seem to relax to this, recognizing a fellow genius, and gave one of his own smiles. "Hi! I'm Kijuro Sato," he said in greeting. "Well, I was heading over to the benches to read a little more. It got too noisy in that library, but...alright." Ami nodded, then proceeded to follow him back to the school yard that held the benches and sat with him. When Kijuro looked back and noticed the other girls following them, Ami gave an embarrassed look. "Oh!! Gomen! I didn't mean to forget! These are my friends from High School!" Ami introduced him to all of the girls. The boy smiled and blushed shyly at them, feeling more lucky in his life to be around so many pretty girls. With that done, the blue-haired girl turned towards Kijuro. "Alright. let's get down to business," said Ami, shooing away at the girls so she can be alone with him. They rolled their eyes in mock annoyance and went to another bench with a table to point and giggle. Ami chose to ignore them. "I got a few things I need to talk to you about." For the next few minutes or so, Ami and Kijuro talked about their future and what they wanted to be, then asked each other about their study habits and family. Older girl tried to explain the pressures and expectations on High School, and patiently gve advice for overcoming them. "WOW!! I never expected anything like that!" said Kijuro in wonder. "There's so many things to prepare for and do. I'm....not sure I know if I can do it." The boy sighed in exasperation. "Sure you can Kijuro-chan! All you have to do is believe in yourself, and you can make it happen and do anything," said Ami enthusiastically. "You have a great future ahead of you, and you're going to be something REALLY great one day!" Ami smiled in reassurance and nodded once. The boy smiled back shyly. "Arrigato Ami-sempai..." he was about to say something more, when suddenly, lightning flashed from the cloudy sky, followed by a louder than normal boom. The lightning flashed again, and this time, it struck right in front of Ami and Kijuro. When the light dissipated, Sailor Tin-Nyanko stood there with an evil smile on her face. Her belles on her cats ears jingled loudly, and her eyes narrowed dangerously. "I am Sailor Tin-Nyanko! Meeeow!" The Anima-mate bowed mockingly to everyone, then turned to look at Kijuro. "This boy is a very important part of the future. A future that YOU will not be a part of once we have him under Galaxia's rule!" She pointed her cat paw weapon at the the two that now stood in front of her. "Surrender him to me, now. Meeeow!" Ami turned quickly to the frightened boy beside her. "Kijuro! RUN! Get out of here now!" The boy stared at Ami for a second, then at the strange looking woman, blinking his eyes. He gave a short frightened cry, then turned around quickly and bolted away, leaving behind his books. "Not so fast, Mouse-boy!!" smirked Sailor Tin-Nyanko evilly. She turned and pointed the weapon at the retreating figure, then fired. A smaller version of the lightning bolt she came in with blasted out of the bazooka and trailed after the running boy. It struck him heavily in the middle of his back, and he went down in a painful grunt. Tin-Nyanko gave a shout of victory. She didn't realize then that the girls not too far away from her had snapped out of their stupor and back to attention. As she was smirked at Ami's frightened scream, Tanya nodded to Makoto. The tall girl quickly sneaked behind Tin-Nyanko and karate chopped her in the back of her head. The evil Cat Senshi went down with a painful yelp, dropping her Cat Paw weapon. "Just who the HELL are you, and what do you want with him!" yelled out Makoto, anger making her voice rough. Tin-Nyanko quickly got up, grabbed her weapon, and hissed violently as she pointed her weapon menacingly at Makoto. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out, you wench! Meeeow!" She was about to blast her when a heavy book suddenly slammed right into her face. Sailor Tin-Nyanko fell to the floor again with a howl. "Good throw Tanya!!" yelled out Minako. Tanya smiled in triumph and she, Rei, and Usagi each picked up a book, ready to throw it at Tin-Nyanko together. Ami rushed off ran over quickly to see if Kijuro was alright. When she checked his vital signs and was satisfied with his condition, she gave a sigh of relief. He was only stunned. She got up and gave the Anima-mate a threatning stare, her eyes narrowing. "OHHHH!! YOU ALL ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!" screamed Tin Nyanko, touching her face to see if there were any permanent marks. "Why don't you go back to your kitty litter, CREEP!!" yelled out Tanya. Usagi got ready to throw a book at the Cat Senshi, but never got the chance. The Tin Nyanko quickly got up again and raised her hand above her head. "SERVANTS OF GALAXIA-SAMA! AAAAATTAAAACK!!" Immediately, about five or more snarling and enraged demons emerged and dropped out from a vortex that suddenly appeared in the now darkened sky. No one had seen this coming, and the girls backed up slightly. But the Senshi Leader put on a brave front. "Alright everyone, time for some action!" Usagi yelled out. She quickly looked about to see if anyone was out. When she saw it was clear, she threw her hand up and over her brooch. "MOON ETERNAL, MAKE-UP!" -"MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"VENUS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"MARS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE-UP!" -"SIRIUS EMERALD STAR POWER, MAKE-UP!" In a blinding flash of white light that distracted their enemy, the six girls turned into the Sailor Senshi, power once more filling their minds and bodies. When it was done, they each stood before the monsters in a fighting stance, anger on their faces. After a moment of silence, One demon stepped forward and jumped high into the air ready to descend right on top of them and destroy. "EVERYONE, LOOK OUT!" yelled out Sailor Jupiter, seeing the demon made of a breat ball of hair and fur first. He jumped right in front of her, and with a swing of his paw, knocked her to the ground and jumped on top of her. Momentarily dazed, Jupiter then punched him in the face off her, then jumped up to her feet angrily. "JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!" she yelled out. A wreath of razor sharp and electric leaves formed in her right hand, then it blew around her. When it was charged high enough, she threw it at the the demon. Sailor Smothers screamed, then turned into an electrified pile dust. It blew off on the wind as Jupiter smiled. Just as Jupiter was finished, Sailor Mars felt her danger sense go off. She turned around just in time to find another demon sneaking up behind her. The wood demon was about to grab her around the shoulders, but she grabbed his arm and flipped him over her to the ground below. When Sailor Branch dared to get back up, she was ready for him. "MARS FLAME SNIPER!" she screamed. Her bow and arrow of flames appeared in her hands, and she fire. The monster was set ablaze and made into a pile of charred remains. "Not so tough now!" said Mars triumphantly. Meanwhile, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus were leading a demon called Sailor Bricklayer into a trap. When he was about to grab Sailor Mercury, she shouted out, "MERCURY AGUA RHAPSODY!" and dosed him with powerful water energy. When he was soaked, he could barely move because his brick body got so heavy. Sailor Venus smiled, "Another one bites the dust! VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" The demon was then hit with a gigantic sized heart made of pure energy. He then exploded in an agonized scream. In the background, the Senshi then heard Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Sirius shout together, "STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!" "SIRIUS KISS OF DEATH CAPTIVATION!" One particular large demon was struck with Eternal energy, then exploded. Another large one was then caught in a black ball. It started to shrink, then it exploded after a moment, sending fragments of Sailor Giant every where. When the battle was over, they gave Sailor Tin Nyanko a hard stare, although they all panted with exhaustion. "Your lousy excuse for lackeys are defeated! Now what are you going to do?" yelled out Super Sailor Sirius. She and the rest of the Senshi went into their fighting stance together in a line. Tin Nyanko smirked. "FOOLS! That was just a distraction! I got what I want, Meeeow!" She pulled up a still unconscious Kijuro Sato by the shirt collar, and laughed. "Nooo!! Kijuro!!" yelled out Sailor Mercury. She was about to rush at Sailor Tin-Nyanko, when she suddenly raised and flicked her free hand. The ground began to shake slightly, and after a moment, it began to split open. Vines then started to snake out of the cracks towards the Sailor Senshi as they gasped in surprise. It wrapped around their legs, and traveled up to their arms, holding them fast to the ground. The girls began to scream in pain and horror as the vines then started to squeeze heavily and cut of their circulation.
