Becoming Sailor Neo Neptune
By: Haruka Ten'oh
Kaze borely strummed her long slendar fingers on the wood desk infront of her as the teacher droned on in a monotonous tone of voice. She stared off into space, absentmindedly yawning. She was thinking about the new girl in school she had met just the other day. Megami. What a beatufil name, Kaze thought. She began to remember the dream she had the other night, smiling to herself then giving herself a mental slap. 'Why am I thinking like that?' She thought worriedly. 'Its not like I'm interested in other girls or anything' Truth was, Kaze had been coping with her sexuality ever since her parents divorce two years ago. The only ones aware of this was Raven and her other friend Suzuki. She was terrifyed her mother would find out and use it as more ridicule. Kaze Prince had suffered much humiliation and mental abuse from her mother over the past two years, she was especially mean when she was drunk, which was ninty percent of the time. Her mom often made snide remarks about Kade's choice in clothing. She dressed rather boyishly, opting for the boys school uniform instead of the girls and things like that. But ever since Suzuki had introduced her to Megami, the gorgeous green haired beatuy hadnt left Kaze's thoughts. Megami was may more femineme then Kaze and had long deep ocean green hair and sparkling eyes, she was shorter then kaze, as most of the girls at thier school were, and to Kaze, her laugh sounded like wind chimes and she had a soothing voice. Kaze, on the other hand, was tall, 5'11 to be exact. She had short, bright pink hair, emerald green eyes, she sounded sort of boyish and was usually loud. She never told anyone but had a serios fear of people getting to close and usually pushed them away before they had the chance to reall get to know her.. She was popular but didnt have many friends, since being vunerable terrifyed her. The bell rang, snapping Kaze from her thoughts as she absentmindedly gathered her book and headed for the door. Not paying attention, she slammed into someone, sending them sprawling to the floor. As she bent to help the girl pick up her books, she looked up and saw that Megami was also picking up the books. "Uh, sorry bout that" Kaze said lamely and rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. Megami smiled and Kaze's heart did a little flip. "It's alright" She said in her soft voice, rising and holding her books down by her knees. Kaze stood as well and the two girls stood there watching each other for a few minutes. Kaze blushed again and scratched the back of her neck, a nervous habbit she'd had since she was little. Suddenly a tall handsome brown haired guy came up behind Megami, lazily putting his arm around her shoulders with a lopsided grin. "Hey Kaze" He said nodding to her. "Jeikan" She replied, in a more then annoyed voice. The two were on the track team together. Every race was turned into a competition between him and Kaze. But Kaze was as fast as the wind, he never won and hated her for that. "Well? Do you still want me to show you around?" He asked, turning to Megami. She smiled polietly. "Sure" She said. "Well, goodbye Kaze, I'll see you later" She added and Kaze merely nodded not trusting herself to say a simple good bye. The two walked off together, Jeikan's arm still around Megami. Once they were out of sight, Kaze cursed loudly and kicked a nearby locker, hard. The next morning was a Saturday and instead of sleeping in like most kids her age, kaze was awake at 7:00, dressed in her grey sweatpants and black sports bra for her usual jog through the woods nearby her house. She grabbed her ice cold water bottle and let herself out of the house quietly, knowing her mom would come ranting and raving down the stairs if Kaze woke her. She took her usual trail in the woods, the one that would lead to a clearing with a small stream and waterfall in it. She had always went there to think, it was her own place, no one else knew about it and she liked it that way. She had even slept out there underneath the stars occasionally. Comming to the edge of the clearing she could make out a figure standing by the waterfall. It was a female and she had her back turned to Kaze. Straining her eyes a bit as she moved closer. she relized the figure was Megami. Moving even closer, her noticed Megami was painting a landscape of the waterfall. "Thats really pretty" Kaze commented comming up behind her. Megami gave a startled jump and turned, smiling when she saw Kaze. "Thank you" She said, turning back to her painting. Kaze stood there for a few mintues then took a sip of her water bottle. "Want some?" She asked, offering Megami the bottle. She took it and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Im parched!" She said, taking a sip. A tiny drop of water escaped the bottle and trickled down her neck and shoulders, disappearing undearneath the emerald green tank top she wore. Kaze surpressed the urge to go after the fugitive water drop and grinned as Megami handed her the bottle back. Kaze ran her fingers through her short hair, cocking her head to one side to get a better look at Megami's painting. "That really is good" She commented after a few mintues and Megami turned to her and smiled. "I'm glad you like it, Kaze" She replied in a soft voice, causing Kaze to smile to herself. She truly loved Megami's voice. "So what are you doing out here so early?" Kaze asked after a few moments of silence. Megami had begun to put the finishing touches on the painting. "I've been coming here for a few days. I find it peaceful and relaxing around the water, plus you can kind of, just get away" She told Kaze, making long even strokes with skilled hands on the canvas. "How about you?" "Up until this moment, I thought I was the only one who knew about this spot. I come here pretty much every Saturday morning to sit and think. Plus I need a break after jogging through those woods for an hour." Kaze answered with a grin. Once again a silence fell over the two girls, and Kaze took a seat on a flat rock close to the waters surface and peered in, studing the reflection looking back at her as Megami hummed softly to herself, finishing up her painting and putting the paints away. A few moments later she perched herself beside Kaze on the rock, folding her hands in her lap as the two of them quietly looked out into the water. Suddenly, it began to get darker and foggy and the wind picked up speed. Immediately, Kaze got a bad feeling and reached up to the tiny clear orb she wore with a chain around her neck, closing her fingers around it protectively as she looked around. Megami looked confused as a large black hole began to open in front of them, and out stepped a tall man with sandy brown hair and a wicked grin on his face. He wore a black shirt streached out across his muscles and a pair of black dress pants. He looked very distinguished, and had a blue glass tear drop hovering above one gloved hand. "Hiroshi" Kaze glared under her breath as the man turned and saw the two girls on the rock. "Nice meeting you here, Kaze" He said spitefully. Kaze stood and stared him down. "Whose the pretty girl?" He smirked, as Kaze remembered Megami was still there. "Go, megami, go now" She ordered, as Hiroshi sent a black ball of energy at the pink haired girl, not wasting time with plesentries. Kaze dodged it barely and forgot about Megami as she ripped the necklace off from around her neck, shouting 'Uranus Orb Transform' and with a flash of light, she became Sailor Neo Uranus. "This is it Hiroshi, your going down for the count this time" Sailor Neo Uranus growled angrily, holding her hands in the hair and shouting 'uranus wind smash' sending a golden ball of light hurtling toward the man, who moved out of the way just as it grazed his shoulder. "Sorry my dear Neo Uranus, this time you don't have your buddies to back you up, the favor is in my corner this time." Hiroshi smirked, dropping the tear into his pocket. He had been using it to track down the Neo Scouts. He sent another black ball of enegery at Neo Uranus, this time controlling it so at last second it flew high into the air, and exploded. "Where are the rest of the scouts?" Neo Uranus demanded as the man chuckled. "Don't worry about them, you're the first we've found. Now lets get this over with, shall we?" He asked in a holier-then-thou voice which angered Neo Uranus even more. Megami stood beside the rock, shocked. She defintaly hadn't been expecting this, especially since she only wanted to finish her painting this morning. "Maybe I should take care of your little friend first" He grinned, tossing a black beam from hand to hand as Neo Uranus whirled around and saw Megami still standing there. "GO! NOW MEGAMI!" Neo Uranus screamed as Hiroshi sent a dark purple beam towards the green haired beauty. Relying on her speed, Neo Uranus dove infront of Megami at the last second, the beam hitting her square in the back. With an anguished scream, she fell to the ground. Megami watched with wide eyes, not knowing what to do with Neo Uranus laying on the ground like that. As Hiroshi sent another beam towards Megami, Neo Uranus struggled to her feet, ignoring her cuts and pain, yet again she managed to shove the girl out of the way and take the hit again, this time falling even harder to the ground. Megami kneeled to the pink haired senshi's side, taking Neo Uranus's hand in hers. "Megami, please leave. You'll just get hurt" Neo Uranus pleaded in a strained voice. When Megami had taken her hand, she had felt something. Like they had known each other very well before. And for some reason, Neo Uranus wanted her to get out of there as fast as she could. "No way Kaze. You're my friend, and I feel as if my place is here, I cant leave you even if I wanted to, something is rooting me to this spot" She confided as Hiroshi strode confidently towards them, gathering black energy in his hand as he walked. "Sorry to break up this love fest ladies, but I really must finish off Sailor Neo Uranus and get back, Kado must be getting restless about now" He said with a glint in his eyes, shooting the beam at Neo Uranus, even though she still lay on the ground. She let out a wail as the black engery beam hit her and coursed through her body, closing her eyes tight in pain. Yet somehow she maganed to staggered to her feet, teetering unsteadily as Hiroshi sent yet another beam. This one she maganged to dodge, but just barely and sent another attack at him, which hit its target. Yet, Hiroshi merely brushed it off. "You don't know when to give up, do you neo Uranus?" He asked, with a arrogant grin. Neo Uranus shook her head and wiped some blood away from her face with the back of her gloved hand, glaring. "Very well, this shall be fun" Hiroshi chucked, holding out the palm of his hand and sending black beam after black beam into Sailor Neo Uranus, before she could move to dodge it. As if in slow motion, each beam hit her one after the other, finally sending her limply to the ground. Megami dove for her, tears welled in her eyes. Neo Uranus wasn't moving, and she was breathing in short gasping breaths. Megami lifted her head into her lap, tears streaming down her face. "Kaze?" She asked softly, when no response came, she cried harder. Suddenly, as one of the tears hit Kaze's cheek, a bright light engulfed the clearing. When the lighting went back to normal, a clear orb with ocean blue stripes through it hovered near Megami's head. With a wary glance from the orb, to Sailor Neo Uranus to a smirking Hiroshi, Megami stood and enclosed her fingers around the orb. Suddenly knowing what to do, she held the orb up in the air and shouted 'Neptune Orb Transform' within moments she became Sailor Neo Neptune. "Another Sailor Brat" Hiroshi smirked, Neo Neptune's face emotionless. Without a word she sent a wispy blue ball from her finger tips into the Dark Lord General. Being caught by surprise, the attack hit him powerfully. Staggering backwards from the force of it, Hiroshi's smirk turned into anger. "I'll be back Neptune" He growled, disappering in a black hole like the one he came out of.
~ Kaze streached tiredly, her limbs aching, she winced in pain as she opened her emerald green eyes. A quick glance around the room told her she had no idea where she was. It was early morning and the sunlight was filtering in from the window across the room. Kaze lay in a bed, in a brightly colored room decorated with paintings. She sat up and noticed her right wrist was carefully bandaged and whenever she moved she was in pain. A few moments later she heared some footsteps outside the door and could barely believe her eyes when Megami walked in the room carrying a tray with eggs, toast and orange juice on it. 'Have I died and gone to heaven? Is this just a dream?' Kaze thought to herself, worriedly. Maybe she was in a coma or something. "Good morning Kaze, its about time you woke up" Megami smiled, taking a seat at the foot of the kingsized bed, handing Kaze the tray. Kaze propped herself up on a few pillows, devouring a slice of toast as Megami watched with an amused look. "Where am I?" Kaze asked after swallowing her bite of toast. "You were knocked out in a battle as Sailor Neo Uranus, and I brought you here" Megami explained softly. "How did you get away from Hiroshi?" Kaze asked worriedly, as she remembered what happened the night before. Megami smiled like a cat the just caught the mouse. "I transformed into Sailor Neo Neptune" She grinned as Kaze choked on her eggs. After taking a quick sip of her orange juice she was more composed. "What?!?" She asked wide eyed. "You heared me, partner" Megami grinned. Kaze was perfectly aware of the roles of Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus, and the two often told her that one day she would have her partner, Neo Neptune. After weighing the issue for a few mintues, Kaze grinned. She was also aware of the relationship of Haruka and Michiru, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. And with Megami smiling at Kaze, she dared hope their relationship would become like Haruka and Michiru's.
