Nope, I don't own either Batman or Sailor Moon or any of the characters, but wouldn't it be great if I did?
I would sue all you thieves! Um, er, ha ha, did I just say that out loud?
Chapter One
Stepping out of the loading tunnel and into the busy terminal, Bruce Wayne felt a strange sense of loneliness. The sea of faces rushed by with unfamiliar currents. Like an island in all this chaos, he saw the group of business men and politicians waiting for him, waving from behind the nylon ropes. The feeling stayed with him as he walked towards his welcoming party, a stranger in a strange land.
"Ohaiyo, Wayne-san, Welcome to Japan," a tall man bowed.
Bruce smiled and bowed back, "Thank you for meeting me, Hino-san. I did not expect you to come yourself."
He shouldered his bag and the group walked through the throng to the baggage claim. Spotting his two bags, he quickly retrieved them and a porter was called to carry his belongings to the car.
"I must have been difficult to pack only the essentials for the first month," Mr. Hino remarked.
Bruce nodded, "Somethings are to be shipped out once I find a more permanent residence." 'And some things I brought with me,' he thought absently shifting his oddly-shaped carry-on by his side.
By this time, the small party had reached the curb and a black limo whispered to a stop in front of them.
"Ah, here we are," the older man said as he entered the car, "Would you join me? I will take you to your hotel and we can discuss our current plans on the way."
Night was falling outside Bruce Wayne's window as he sat on his bed sorting through his belongings. He watched the sun set in the land of the rising sun as he put his various items where they would be while he was house searching. The man's eyes fell on the bulky carry-on and he opened the locked clasps, examining its contents.
Black armor and various technical instruments lay beneath an X-ray repellant shield. He had brought them along, just in .case. Gotham no longer needed a hero so he had felt confident leaving any further jobs to his ward. Bruce smiled at the thought, his sidekick was no longer a little kid, he was a man in his own right and fully capable of continuing the legend of the Bat. He was in Japan now, and would be for a whole year. Resignedly he closed the case; it was morning in Gotham now and Alfred would be awake.
Rei was alone in the shrine now, she had been for a year. When her grandpa had died, it was almost to much to bear. She looked at her left hand, bare of jewlery recalling how hard it was to just keep living. Without her friends and Yuiichirou it would have been impossible. He had especially supported her and Rei had finally realized how much she had cared for him and he for her. They had married after a short engagement and had been unbelievable happy. Usagi sometimes joked, sometimes pouted, that they were an even cuter couple than her and her Mamo-chan.
Unbidden, the image of a ring falling into darkness came into her mind and she shut her eyes against the pain of all those memories. She continued about her duties; she was the owner of the shrine now. Her grandfather had left everything to her making sure her pig father couldn't get his greedy, worthless hands on anything.
The miko traced the scar that ran from her right eye and along her jaw. Again she saw her lover's face and it was mind bogglingly painful. Rei thought to seek solace in the fire room to rest her grieving heart. Her stocking feet were padding down the hall to the small room when her communicator went off. Hastily drying off her face with her sleeve, she flipped open the "watch".
"Mars here," she said rather gruffly, "What is it?"
Mercury's face appeared, "There's a disturbance downtown. The others are already there and Moon and I are on the way."
"Be right there," she flicked the thing shut and pulled out her henshin pen.
Transforming in silence was no longer necessary. There was no one to keep her secret from; her home was an empty one.
As Bruce put down the phone, he thought he heard a scream. Breathless, he sat tensely on his bed, hand poised above the carry-on. He heard it again and went into action the Black Knight was needed in Tokyo.
Eternal Sailor Moon was running around the park hand in mouth and water spouting from her eyes. Sailors Uranus and Jupiter were busy keeping the ugly bee-type monster under control while Saturn and Venus tended to Neptune's extensive wounds. Mercury was trying to scan the hideous creature, but Mars just stood, shielding her ears from the piercing shrieks.
"Usagi!" she shouted over the din, "Pull yourself together! You are only one thousand years from being Queen of the Earth and you are _still_ a crybaby!"
Sailor Moon sniffed as she came up to her, "You are so mean Rei. That thing really hurt; it stung me!"
Rei looked sadly at her best friend, "You are a married woman now. Show me the strength you had in the battle with Galaxia."
Usagi smiled with new determination and stepped up the the monster, "Silver Moon Therapy Kiss!"
In a flash of stardust, the monster was gone and surprisingly their aches were too. The girls sighed wearily and came over to Sailor Moon. She smiled at her friends.
"Sorry about the scene guys," she sweatdropped.
"That's all right," Ami giggled, "I was able to get quite a good reading on the monster. It's the same as all the other ones, it seems to be some sort of sophisticated hologram. After it is destroyed, any damage it does disappears!"
"I don't know..." Sailor Moon held out her stung hand.
"How strange," Mercury mused, "All of Neptune's injuries are gone and her were much more serious. You had better come to my place so I can examine it."
"Okay Dr. Mizuno," Usagi saluted.
"Not yet, I'm only a resident."
With a quick look around to be sure the park was deserted, the group detransformed. Just as she shimmered back into her priestess robe, Rei thought she saw something lurking in the trees. She narrowed her eyes, searching for an unnatural shadow among the shadows. She saw it again, distinctly this time looking right back at her and Rei turned toward her already retreating friends. Looking back at the woods one last time, she began her lonely walk back to the temple.
From the trees a dark figure emerged. His long black cape flowing in the wind, Batman watched the solitary woman walk along the moonlit street. Silently he followed her, noting that she walked up stone stairs to a shrine.
'She looked right at me. She must've known I'd seen her,' he thought, 'Who is she?'
What did you think? Tell me! Sorry it's kinda short, but it will get better and longer as the story progresses, I promise!
