This is a crossover fic with Sailor Moon and Noir. It's a bit more mature then the regular fanfics for Sailor Moon, because it contains violence (guns and such) and blood. Spoilers abound for Noir! Hope you enjoy.

It had been five years since the Usagi had seen her friend Kirika. One day she just left, no explanation. Kirika had always been quiet and shy, never as outgoing as Usagi. Her absense left her wondering if maybe there was something Kirika was hiding. It's been five years, and now all of a sudden she's back.

"Kirika..," Usagi whispered, unsure if it was her. Sure, the teacher said that was the new student's name, but the Kirika she knew had been gone for too long. Now she's just back? Maybe she was just tired....yes, a nice nap when she got home would do her good. Momma wouldn't mind. She smiled to herself, not sure if her friends would be too kind about her missing the scout meeting.

Even though there was no threat, the scouts still met regularly. Mostly it was for the food, but Rei tried to make it all official. It was somewhat silly to Usagi, but she could cope.

"Kirika, please sit next to Usagi. Class, open your books to page 304. And Usagi, please pay attention!"

"Sorry.."

Kirika looked around at all of the smiling faces in awe. If it weren't for Soldats....she'd be just like them. With that thought, she sat down next to the girl the teacher pointed to, and got out the text. Mireille thought it would be a good idea for her to come back to Tokyo for a short while, just to finish her schooling. Maybe so, but Kirika still felt out of place. If the other students knew just who she was, what she did....would they even come near her?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

The bell rang, startling Kirika out of her train of thought. Well, lets be glad that was her final class of the day. She couldn't wait to see Mireille.

"Wait, Kirika?" Kirika turned around to see a long haired blond running towards her. She smiled slightly, thinking of how much this girl and Mireille looked alike.

"Yes?"

"Hi! I'm Usagi, and I am in your Math class."

"Oh....Hello Usagi." Kirika wondered why this girl looked familiar. It wasn't just her resemblance to her partner. "Have we met before?"

"I think so. You used to go to the old Junior High right? We went there together. Then one day you left. I always wondered why."

Kirika's eyes widened. Yes....she had left the Junior High. To find out who she was...to become Noir. "I remember now. Yes."

"Where did you go, we all wondered."

Kirika's eyes widened once again. They wondered about her? "I went to Paris."

"Ohh...Paris...I wish I could go! Why did you come back to Tokyo if you were in such a great city?"

"I came to finish my schooling, actually."

"Oh...well, you want to come to the arcade with me? I can introduce you to a couple of friends?"

"Oh...no, I have to get back. Mireille will get worried."

"Oh...well, do you mind if I come? My friends wanted to do homework, eep." The blond, Usagi, laughed, making Kirika smile.

"Well, I guess so, you can come."

"Great! Lead the way!"

Hope you enjoyed so far. I'll try to write more soon!
