The Unknown Scouts: Intro

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the scouts or other such things related to Sailor Moon, though Sai~en and TopaZ ARE my best friend's and mine.

Note: This starts about two years before Sailor, Moon some of it will occur during the same time period. The author's bribe is now instated or whatever, and so, if you read and review mine, I'll read and review one of yours. That way everyone'll be happy. ^_^

Something Extra: If you'd like to take it, please feel free, but be sure to tell me.


Sai~en had never really understood her name. The Georgia backwater didn't seem to inspire any truly original names, though her best friend, TopaZ, had a rather different tag as well. Even so, the eight year old found herself fond of the exotic, rolling sound of her name. It had been their differences that had brought the two friends together at age four and three. All the little girls wanted their Barbies to meander through the constructed rooms, having unintelligible conversations. Then, one day, a three year old with icy blue hair in pinned up braids asked to play. After a slight waiting period where each felt the other out, an oddly complex background of fighters and warriors began to emerge with deaths and injury to ensue. From then on, the two became the next thing to sisters, adopting the other's family for their own. Yet, that would change about two weeks after Sai~en's eighth birthday.

Both girls sat comfortably on TopaZ's shifting waterbed. Somehow, the air thrummed through the room, an air of uneasy anticipation collecting about them. When the door into her bathroom flashed, both girls flinched, jumping off the bed. Yet, their caution was not necessary, for Setsuna was the one who stepped into the small room.
A smile brightening her face, Setsuna stood before them, speaking briskly. "Sai~en, TopaZ, I am Setsuna, Guardian of the Time Gate and the once Princess of Pluto. I have been asked to acquire your assistance as well as begin your training. You are, of course, allowed to choose not to go, but you must know that you are the Unknown Sailor Scouts, or Senshi were you Japanese. If you choose to come, you will be given the Japanese language and placed in habitation that would best suite you. You may now ask questions." Breathing, the woman sat on the edge of the bed, sweeping back a few errant strands of deep green hair.
TopaZ nodded sharply, "Will we get to do what you just did? With the door?"
"Yes, dear, though you might have to work with Sai~en here to be able to. From what I've been told, you two are part of a team. Unlike me, there will be a few things that will require both of you for it to be accomplished."
"Where are you going to put us if we go? I don't wanna go to a foofoo girly girl school..." Sai~en made a face as TopaZ giggled.
"I wouldn't want to either! Those girls get on my nerves!" the blue haired girl commented, agreeing with her best friend.
As she spoke, TopaZ somehow knew they would be moving to Japan; both girls had already accepted it. A look passed between them which Setsuna intercepted happily.
"I believe there is a school for those whose parents would like for them to be expert on the ways of the ninja. If you think that you would be able to deal with the training, then I could sign you up to study there. If you like..." she paused, questioning. "It's a very exclusive school that not many people know about."
Fingering one of her braids, TopaZ chirped in, "When do we leave, Setsuna-m'am?"
"Tomorrow, dear. You truly must begin learning what is to be taught you as soon as possible. When I give you the language, I'll also give you the story that will be told to others. The memories you have now will still be with you when you're there, though. In the story, you will be orphanned sisters. Now, go say your good-byes. I'll return tomorrow." Again the glowing door appeared and Setsuna had left.
For a moment sober, TopaZ look at Sai~en and quietly asked, "What's happening that they have to call in an eight year old and a seven year old? Sai, what is going on?" The auburn hair of the other girl swayed as she slowly shook her head.
"I don't know, PeZ, but I'm sure I'll know soon. We both will. And if we don't like what's going on, we'll leave. Just like what we're doing here." Jumping up again, the girl decided it was time to say, without using the actual words, good-bye to her mother and father. "See ya tomorrow, love. Don't forget to say good-bye!" and singing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles( theme song, she walked home.



A/N: So, what'd ya'll think? I've decided this is just going to be a teaser for the prologue of my story, cause I don't want to make it too long. ^_^ But, Right now, it's mostly prologue... The actual story will come along later, though it won't if I get no reviews. How about 5? Eh? 5 shouldn't be too much. And if ya'll are wondering why the hell 8 and 7 years olds are talking so intelligently, well, these two mature at a faster rate because of something that will happen later. I plan on having more tomorrow. Again with the author's bribe. ^_^
