I was sleeping soundly in my bed when my mama came in. He was in his two hundreds and still
looked like he did when he was thirteen, but due to the powers of this Ginzushou thing,
everyone on earth ages slowly. I didn't mind it, he was very protective of me. I loved that about
him.
"Come on, Ikiryoh. It's almost 8:30 AM. You're going to be late for school." he said, opening the
pastel pink and purple curtains to my room.
It flooded my room with the morning light. The bright light caused me to shut my eyes quickly,
my neko ears went flat on my head.
"Mama~ it's too bright," I groaned.
I am usually up early on the weekends. Why you ask? No school, duh! Mama went in to my
closet and got my school uniform.
"Your papa and I paid big money to get you into Mugen, sweetie. Come on, for me?" He asked
with those big purple eyes of his.
"Fine," I groaned while throwing my blankets off. "Why couldn't I go to Juuban like the other
kids?" I asked, getting undressed as he turned to look out the window.
"Juuban won't give you the same opportunities as Mugen."
"But the uniforms are cuter there." I complained, slipping the plaid skirt on. I sometimes hated
the color scheme of the uniform at Mugen; brick red top with green and blue plaid? Yuck.
I finished getting dressed. "Okay, mama you can turn around." I said with a sigh. He turned to
face me with a frail smile and handed me my bag.
"Have a good day sweetie." He said, before he gave me a peck on the cheek.
"I will, Mama."
I ran downstairs to grab my lunch. Papa always made the best lunches. I've always thought that
he looked like Sailor Star Healer. But it would have been weird. I wasn't athletic enough to be
her daughter or have any of her powers. When I was younger, I would play Sailor Senshi with
Usagi and Hotaru. I sometimes ran into them on the way to school when I was younger, but I
got a bit lazy and would stay up playing games on the hologram TV in my room.
Sometime I would play multiplayer with a girl called PinkMoon903. She would always kick my
butt in Call of Duty. I have a pet peeve for losing to someone I don't know outside of the
gameworld. I wanted to know who she was, but I only knew who wasn't on the list: Usagi. She
was a princess so she couldn't be caught playing. I had a thought it might be Udamo, the
biggest nerd in my class. That swirly eyed weirdo, he would sometimes try to tell me it was
weird that I had two male parents. It is so not any of his business.
He can't say that love between two people, no matter the gender, is wrong. No one can. Hotaru
has a dad-like mother and two other moms. So what if my mama is a feminine boy and my
father actually does look like a woman? He is stupid to think that.
I was walking up a street when I found a cute little brooch. It had a heart over a five pointed star.
I picked it up and it felt like I was supposed to find it. I put onto the bow on my top, it looked
really nice.
I heard a bell ring. It took me a minute to realize it was the school bell.
"AH! I'm gonna be LAAAAAAAAAATE!"
I came in late to Yagumi-sensei's class and she was not happy.
"Aoyagi-San, this is the second time that you have been late." She said, rubbing her forehead.
"Sorry Yagumi-Sensei, I was up late again." I said walking to my desk, behind Azuma
Yuki-Chan.
"As I was explaining, we have a new student joining our class. Her name is Hikarino Nintai.
Please welcome her to our school."
"Welcome to our school, Hikarino-San!" The class said.
I, on the other hand, felt something off about the new girl. I couldn't put my finger on it and it
bothered me. My mama has this sixth sense about some people, like who to trust and who not
to trust. I must have got that trait from him. It's useful sometimes.
"Hikarino-San, there is an empty seat next to Aoyagi-San. That is your seat now."
Crap. I thought as I was about to finish the homework I didn't finish. She came right over and sat
down like she practiced this a hundred times before. She had her hair up in a braided bun. It
was cute. Better than what I could do with my hair. Shoulder length silver hair with some black
streaks.
"Pigtails," someone said. I knew it was Hikarino.
"W-what do you mean?" I asked, shocked enough that the mechanical pencil would've been
broken in my grip.
"Sorry. I just thought you might look cute in pigtails. I sometimes speak when I don't mean to."
"Oh, really? I thought the same thing. My papa has a pretty ponytail, but it'll take forever to grow
my hair that long." I said, giggling.
She giggled too. It weird how I didn't know this girl, but I was getting along with her. She then
saw my lunch bag.
"Cute lunch bag. I love the purple cats."
"Oh, thanks. My mama sewed it himself." I said, looking at it.
"You have a male mom and he sews?"
''Yeah. Do you find it weird?" I asked, with a unpleased face.
"Not really. My dad disappeared when I was little. I don't really remember him."
My neko ears twitched. "Oh… I'm sorry to hear that." I said.
"It's okay. Mom did a great job of raising me. I'm just as strong as her."
"Everyone, it's time for gym. Leave last night's homework on your desk," Sensei told us.
"On no! I didn't finish!" I nearly screamed.
Hikarino took my paper from me. "What are you doing?"
"The homework from last night, I didn't finish." I said with a sigh.
She took out a pencil and wrote on it.
"Stop that! You'll get me in trouble!"
"Relax," she said as she handed it back.
I looked at the page and all the questions were done! I didn't have time to ask questions. I had
to change out for gym. Today we were doing the vaulting horse. I usually fail at this, but I felt like
I could do anything today. I was first.
"Here I go! To the stars!"
I ran for the vaulting horse and and jump over it as I closed my eyes, when I opened them I was
standing on the other side of it. I finally jumped the vaulting horse.
"Way to go Ikiryoh-Chan!" Yuki-Chan cheered.
I moved out of the way for everyone to have their turn. Yuki-Chan came after me and did an
amazing jump as always. I really wanted to see Hikarino-San jump. I think everyone did
because they all went silent when it was her turn. She paused for a moment then took off at
high speed. She kicked her legs higher than anyone else and her back was perfect. Even her
landing was perfect. No one could do that. I couldn't help but applaud with everyone.
"That was incredible!" I told her
"I've been in gymnastics for a long time. I can do a Difficult level C like it was an A." She was so
nonchalant.
Soon, gym was over and we walked back to the class in our normal uniform. Today was
definitely better than normal. When we took our seats, Yagumi-Sensei already had the
homework graded and yesterday's test. I know I did bad on it. I didn't like math.
Why am I bad at math? Why couldn't I be bad at English?
"Ikiryoh-Chan, I'm nervous about my grade." Yuki-Chan said biting her nails.
"So am I, Yuki-Chan. How about we look at the same time?" I suggested, placing my hand on
her shoulder.
"Okay. 1...2...3! I got a B!" She exclaimed.
"I got another D." I mumbled.
"Dang, your parents might be mad." Yuki-Chan said feeling my small bit of sadness.
"My mama might be but my papa won't mind." I told her with a nervous chuckle.
"You're lucky to have loving same gender parents." Yuki-Chan said.
The day passed by and it was time to go home. Yuki-Chan and I walked together for a while,
until she had to turn for her house. I still had a ways to go.
"With a grade this bad, I should do something to get my mind off of it." I grumbled, looking at the
test.
I went into the Crown Game Center. I went here before I started at Mugen.
"Ikiryoh-Chan!" Usagi said, happy to see me.
"Usagi-Chan!"
I ran over to my pink-haired friend.
"I didn't expect you here. I thought a princess couldn't play games like this."
You could see the giant cartoon sweat drop on her face.
"Well, I'm not a princess right now. So I can play these games."
"You found a loophole. Hey, where's Hotaru-Chan?"
"She's in the bathroom. Hey, do you want to race?"
"You know I do!" I said as I jumped in the racing game.
Usagi did the same. We inserted the credits, picked our cars, and raced. I was in the lead when
Hotaru-Chan came out.
"You two on that game again?" She mused.
"I know I can beat Usagi-Chan!"
Just before I finished the final turn, a pink car came up and made me spin out.
Whoa! I thought, She's good, too good.
"I win!" Usagi exclaimed.
"Gah! How are you so good?" I said, out of disbelief.
"I've had lessons, Ikiryoh-Chan."
"Wow. Your papa is going to yell at you." Hotaru said.
I turned to her and saw her holding my test.
"Eep! Gimme that!" I squealed. "Why are you snooping around in my bag?"
"It was sticking out." She stated, pointing to my barely zipped up bag.
"Well, it's rude to go through other people's property." I said, my tail frizzing up.
"Ikryoh-Chan, you should get home before your parents call." Usagi said.
"Oh man, you're right! BYE GIRLS!" I shouted, grabbing my bag and running out the door.
I was so caught up on the way my parents would gripe at me for coming home late, that I took a
wrong turn. I heard a girl screaming. I saw a monster in front of her saying something about
energy. Just then my brooch started to shine.
"Loveless Power, Make Up!" I said without knowing why.
My school uniform faded away as lavender purple ribbons wrapped around my body, changing into a
tighter white suit, with bright blue bows, bright purple collar, choker, miniskirt, glove pads, and
knee high strapped heels.
"Hey creepo, let her go!" I announced boldly. In which he did.
"Who're you?" It snarled, staring back at me with cold eyes.
"I am, uh, I am..."
"Sailor Loveless!" Someone else called.
I looked in the direction where the voice came from. There was another girl dressed like me, but
with different colors, standing on a parked delivery truck.
"Her name is Sailor Loveless."
"Oh great, another distraction from my objective." The monster scoffed.
"Objective?" I wondered. "What's your objective?"
"To steal energy for Chaos-sama and destroy this world!" it roared and it charged at me
"I won't let you do that! Kiss Whirlwind!" I shouted and a large heart with a ring around it shot
from my hand and flying to the monster.
It went flying back, but it stood up again.
"Use your final attack. Throw your tiara!" The girl told me.
I nodded and took off my tiara shouting "Loveless Tiara Boomerang!"
It turned the freak into ribbons. I saw something go into the attacked girl. I ran over to make sure
she was alright. She was breathing so that was good.
"She's alright." The other Sailor said. "It was just the collected energy returning to the rightful
owner. You've done well for your first time."
"But who are you?" I asked, slowly walking toward her.
She put on a mask that hid most of her face. "You don't need to know now, but one day soon I'll
tell you the whole story."
Then she disappeared.
