Author's Notes: Yes, I know this has been done many times....^.^' Yah know, entering a new Sailor Scout and all....Oh well! I apologize if it's kinda corny, it's my first fanfic and I wrote this about 4 or 5 years ago. I was scrounging through some old files and found it just laying around. Well, hope you enjoy. If you like it (even if you don't, I like bad criticism), please leave a review. This story takes place between Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SuperS. This fic also uses the Japanese names. Seeing as she can't turn into SuperSailorMoon here, we'll just say she still uses her third phase (Moon Cosmic Power, Moon Spiral Heart Attack). Another thing, this story also has some to do with Sailor Knights. To find out more about that, go check out SailorJupiter.com - Sailor Knights.

Disclaimer: *temporarily eats the Sailor Moon copyrights to regurgitate later*. I don't own any these characters, with the exception of the two leading characters.

The girl slowly walked down the hallway of the school with her bag in hand, and a slip of paper with her room number and teacher's name on it. She approached the frosted classroom door and smoothed down her new school fuku. She didn't think she was ready for this but she had to go in eventually, right? The dark haired girl sighed and raised her closed fist to knock on the door, and tapped on it lightly.

Usagi opened her eyes groggily, looking at the front of the classroom with a startled expression. She had been awakened from her nap, even though she wasn't supposed to be sleeping. She wiped the drool from her face and sat up straight, looking at the girl standing in front of the classroom that had the teacher's hand on her shoulder. She opened her eyes fully, commenting to herself how attractive she was, and to not let her get near Mamoru.

The girl had straight raven hair that ended just below her shoulder blades. The girl's hair was unique to others in the room. She had two long, platinum silver streaks down the front of her layered hair which framed her pale gray eyes. Her eyes themselves were misty and seemed full of secrets.

The teacher cleared her throat, "Class, we have a new student joining us today. Her name is....." The teacher scratched her chin and turned to the girl standing uneasily at the front of the room, "What was your name again, dear?"

"Kori....Kori Oneida," replied the girl quietly.

Everyone was staring at her, not saying a word. Her eyes scanned across the room. When she saw a girl with long, blonde hair done up in a style she didn't recognize, her eyes stopped. The girl was goggling at her and was somewhat sneering. For what reasons, Kori didn't know.

"Thank you Kori, why don't you go sit down in that empty desk beside Usagi?" said the teacher, pointing over at the desk beside the girl with hair that resembled spaghetti and meatballs.

Kori slowly walked to the desk and sat down with a sigh, setting her bag on her desk to take out her books. She looked to her right, and saw that the blonde-haired girl had fallen asleep. She leaned in close, and even noticed that she was slightly snoring. Kori raised her eyebrows in disbelief. How could she just fall asleep in class? 'I wonder if she does anything else but sleep...' she thought to herself.

Her attention left the sleeping Usagi, and she glanced around the room. Everyone seemed to be studying or doing work. Her eyes fell upon a boy that also had platinum hair, and she blushed when she realized he was staring at her. She glanced away quickly, and looked at the books on her desk. She looked back up at the boy, but he had looked away and was now concentrating on his work. She studied him as he worked. His platinum hair was cut short and gelled at the front, making it spiky. From where she was sitting, it appeared he had bright, sparkling blue eyes. Eyes that Kori wished she could just stare into forever because they were so haunting. She didn't even know his name, and she wanted to uncover all the secrets that those eyes held. Even his school uniform caught her eye. It was nothing major, but was diverse none-the-less. The school jacket he wore was unbuttoned and hung open. Underneath it he wore a white dress shirt with the school emblem on it. Even better, he wore the top few buttons of his shirt undone. His school pants were no biggie, but they were slightly baggy and suited him well. Around his neck hung a thick silver chain.

After some time of Kori staring at the boy, she failed to realize that he had turned around and was staring back at her. Realizing what was happening, Kori blinked and sat back in her seat. The boy flashed a stunning grin at her, and Kori shyly smiled back.

At lunch later on that day, Kori chose a spot on a large birch tree in the school courtyard to eat her lunch. She sat on a wooden bench by herself, and took her salami sandwich from her paper lunch bag. She sighed as she took a bite from her sandwich. She had already gotten lost twice today, and it was only lunchtime. No one had bothered to show her around the school. Not even the blonde-haired meatball head who seemed so fascinated with her.

As she took another bite from her sandwich, she studied the people in the courtyard around her. There weren't as many varieties of people here as there had been in California. In California, there were dozens of cultures. Here there only seemed to be oriental people like herself, and the occasional non-Japanese citizen. Kori let out a downcast sigh. She missed it back at home. Why did her parents have to move back to their homeland after nearly 20 years living in America? She didn't understand.

Everyone in the courtyard was occupied with conversing with their friends, all except Kori. Whether they were large groups or just groups of two, she was the only one sitting alone. She saw the girl named Usagi dancing around a small group a friends, and a large brown-haired girl loomed over her.

Kori shut her eyes and took another bite from her sandwich. Salami and mustard, what a great combination it was on whole wheat bread. Salami sandwich was probably her favorite kind.

Kori finished chewing her food and opened her eyes. When she saw the platinum haired boy's face right in front of her own, she yelped and jumped back in surprise, nearly choking on the food still in her mouth. The result of Kori jumping back startled the boy, and he toppled onto his rear from his once-kneeling position in front of her. Kori set down her sandwich and stood up with one swift movement, "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make you fall. You just scared me that's all. You really shouldn't just sneak up on people like that you know."

"That's alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have done it," replied the boy with a grateful smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't even get the chance to introduce myself." The boy stuck our his hand for Kori to shake, "My name's Lucas Tadashi, but you can just call me Luke."

Kori hesitated, but before long she had her hand outstretched and shaking Luke's, "I'm Kori."

Hehe, I hoped you liked it. I had to merge two chapters into one because they were both too short, but that's okay. ^.^ Please keep reading, there's lots of chapters written, I just have to upload them into my database. Please review!
