Episode 201:
Shiroi & Kuroi
Scene 1: At Setsuna's House in Hotaru's bedroom, 6:30 am (morning)
*BeEp* *BeEp* *BeEp* *FWACK*
Hotaru rolled over and smacked her alarm clock, she glanced at the time and sighed.
"Good morning... I think..."
She got up and walked over to her window and opened up the curtains, the sky was barley over the horizon hitting the sky scrapers of Tokyo.
"Yep..."
She quickly got dressed into her school uniform and hurried down stairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Setsuna-Mama!" She took a seat at the table.
"Morning Hotaru-chan," Setsuna said with a smile, "Today we've got waffles, sausage, and--" Setsuna paused, she placed a glass of white liquid in front of Hotaru, "And milk!"
"Setsuna-san!" Hotaru whined, she glared at the milk, "Don't we have any juice?"
"Yes we do, but you have to finish the milk first... ALL of it.."
Hotaru sighed, she plugged her nose and chugged it down bitterly.
"Hotaru-chan!"
Hotaru looked up from the table and recognized the sweet voice of Chibi-usa, Hotaru grabbed a waffle, grabbed her bags, and ran out the door with a wave.
"Bye Setsuna!!"
"Come straight home after school Hotaru!" Setsuna yelled after her as she cleaned up Hotaru's plate from the table, "I mean it, Haruka and Michiru are coming over for dinner!"
"Okay!"
Hotaru ran down the drive way and ran up to Chibi-usa, Chibi-usa had her school uniform and with her bunny backpack strapped on.
"Good Morning Chibi-chan!"
"Good Morning!" Chibi-usa said back with a smile, they started to walk down the street to the school.
"Where's Usagi-san?" Hotaru looked about as if waiting for Usagi to jump out and attack them.
"She wouldn't wake up," Chibi-usa giggled, "It's her own fault if she's late for her first day of school."
Scene 2: At Cross Roads Junior High, 8:00 am (morning)
Hotaru and Chibi-usa stood up straight when the teacher walked into the classroom, same as the rest of the students. The lady wrote her name on the board, "Mrs. Haruna" and took her seat. As soon as she took hers everybody took theirs.
"Welcome to the seventh grade!" Mrs. Haruna said, "I'll be your teacher for Math, when I call your name please say here." she said some names, and got to Chibi-usa's, "Tsukino, Usa-USAGI!? I thought I passed you! About four years ago, shouldn't you be a Senior in High School by now?!"
Mrs. Haruna looked about looking for the odangos, Chibi-usa stood up and bowed politely.
"My name is Tsukino Usagi, I am Usagi's cousin" She said, "But everybody calls me Chibi-usa."
"Well... sorry about that Chibi-usa," She said briskly, "Take your seat."
Chibi-usa took her seat, when Hotaru looked over to her friend she was bright red with embarrassment, what a great first impression.
After roll Mrs. Haruna stood up and walked to the front of the classroom.
"Class, we have a new students to our school system" She said, "She spent most of her life going to an on-line school, this is her first time in a public school so please be respectable," Mrs. Haruna turned to the classroom door, so did the students, "Shiroi, please come in"
The door opened and a short girl, not much older than Hotaru and Chibi-usa walked in. Her brown hair was pulled all the way back into a neat pony tail, her gold eyes gazed about the classroom.
"Shiroi, welcome to our school," Mrs. Haruna said breaking the silence, "Would you like to tell the class about yourself? Do you have any interests?"
"My name is Yume, Shiroi" a small sweet whisper said, "Um, I like Sanchin-Ryu, running, and art."
She stopped, she looked to Hotaru, her eyes gave a small hint of fear.
"Shiroi? Are you okay?" Mrs. Haruna gave Shiroi a small shake to snap her out of her trance, "Shiroi?"
"Huh! Oh! Um, yea I'm fine" Shiroi quickly answered, her voice a bit stronger and no longer a whisper, "May I ask where I'm sitting?"
"Go take a seat behind Chibi-usa over there"
Shiroi walked up to the pink hared girl and to the empty seat behind her, she dropped her white leather backpack and pulled out her baby blue binder and started to write stuff down.
'That is so weird...' Hotaru thought, 'That girl made no sound when she moved... it was if her shoes were forbidden to talk... why was she starring at me?'
Hotaru looked to Chibi-usa who was already starring at her with the same question in her eyes.
Scene 3: Cross Roads Junior High's lunch area outside, 11:45 am (morning)
At lunch Chibi-usa and Hotaru sat underneath a tree to eat their lunches.
"So, what do you think is up with that new girl?" Chibi-usa said, shoving some chips into her mouth, "I mean, did you see the way she looked at you? She looked practically terrified!"
"It was her first day at a real school, she was probably a bit scared," Hotaru took a bite of her rice ball Setsuna made for her and swallowed, "Do you think we should go talk to her? I mean after we're done eating and all."
"Sure!" Chibi-usa chimed, "Why not?"
They finished their lunches and went off to see if they could find Shiroi before the bell rang, they looked everywhere but couldn't seem to find any trace of her.
"Well, that was a lost cause.." Chibi-usa moaned.
"Look!" Hotaru pointed to a tree where Shiroi was sitting under, "She's right over there!"
Chibi-usa and Hotaru jogged up to Shiroi and gave a wave.
"Shiroi, we've been looking for you!" Hotaru said, "Where have you been?" Hotaru finally noticed the orange, yellow, tabby cat sitting in Shiroi's lap, "What's that?" Hotaru shook her head, where's your manners?, "I mean, my name is Tomoe, Hotaru. And this is Tsukino, Chibi-usa!"
Shiroi stood up and the cat jumped onto Shiroi's right shoulder, sitting there perfectly and elegantly.
"Glad to finally meet you Hotaru! Chibi-usa!" She gave a warm smile, "This is Cercee, my guard-- my pet."
"Oh! She's so pretty!" Chibi-usa said, "Just like Luna!"
Cercee's eyes widened, as if the name Luna made her remember something.
"You have a cat too?" Shiroi asked, she seemed a bit too existed over a cat, "Oh, I must meet it sometime!"
"How about after school with Hotaru and I?" Chibi-usa said, she stroked Cercee, who started to purr softly.
"Oh I can't," Hotaru looked to Chibi-usa, "I have to go straight home today, Haruka-Papa and Michiru-Mama are coming over."
"Oh then how about just the two of us Shiroi?"
"Sounds fun!" Shiroi smiled, the bell rang and Cercee jumped off her shoulder and scurried away.
"Oh no!" Chibi-usa yelped, "We're late!!"
The three girls ran off to the school, expecting to get detention.
Scene 4: Walking home, currently dropping Hotaru off at her house, 2:45 PM (afternoon)
"Bye Chibi-chan! Bye Shiroi-chan!" Hotaru waved as she walked up the driveway to her house.
"Bai Hotaru-san!!" Shiroi called after her.
"Can you say 'bye' again Shiroi?" Chibi-usa asked as the two started to walk to Chibi-usa's house.
"Bai"
"No, it's ba-eye" Chibi-usa corrected her, "And why did you call Hotaru, san?"
"That's what I said, bai!" Shiroi said, trying to change the conversation.
"No, you said bai. It's bye!" It obviously worked.
"Yea! Bai!"
"BYE!!!"
When the two got to the house they saw Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi all at the table working on homework, Chibi-usa grabbed two cookies from the center of the table and ran up stairs with Shiroi.
"Hi Ami! Hi Rei! Hi Makoto! Hi Minako! Bye Usagi!" Chibi-usa quickly said as the two raced up stairs.
"Why you little!!" Usagi threaten, but when she turned around the two were gone.
"Usagi! You skipped six problems!" Ami said, she handed back Usagi her paper, "Get those six done before I check the rest."
"Who was the girl with Chibi-usa?" Makoto asked, "I haven't seen her around here before."
"She's probably just one of Chibi-usa's little friends..." Usagi mumbled, shoving another cookie into her mouth and going back to work out the problems.
"Poor Chibi-usa, she has Mrs. Haruna this year..." Rei looked up from the book she was reading, "She's has to live with Usagi's reputation."
"What's wrong with my reputation!?!?" Usagi spat out.
"Here! I have a whole list for you! Late, bad scores, eating in class--"
"Oh yea! Well at least I'm not a goody-goody like you!"
"At least I don't have Moon rocks rolling around in MY head!"
The two were about to rip each other's heads off before Makoto stopped them.
"Oh shut up you two!" Makoto snapped.
"Yea! You two sound like a cat and a dog bickering!!" Minako said, she rolled her eyes.
Scene 5: Chibi-usa's bedroom, 3:15 PM (afternoon)
"This is Luna!" Chibi-usa said, she picked up the black cat and petted her softly on the head, "She's very sweet, and she won't bite!"
"Oh how cute!" Shiroi looked to the crescent mark on Luna's forehead, "What's that?"
"Oh! Um..." Chibi-usa had to think of an excuse quickly, "It's a... ah... Bald Spot!!"
A sweat mark slid down the back of Luna and Chibi-usa's heads, great cover up.
"Awe, poor kitty." Shiroi said, "You getting too old?"
Luna meowed in agreement, Chibi-usa handed Shiroi the cat and she petted it some more.
"Luna! What a great name, that bald spot looks like a crescent mark!" Shiroi said, she poked Luna on the nose playfully, "It's a lucky bald spot!"
Both girls giggled.
Scene 6: Setsuna and Hotaru's house, 5:00 PM (sunset)
The door bell rang and Hotaru ran to answer it.
"Coming!!"
She opened the door and Haruka and Michiru were standing there, Hotaru immediately tackled Haruka around the waist and hugged as tight as she could.
"I'm so happy to see you two!!" Hotaru said, she looked up at Michiru, "Come on in! Setsuna-Mama just got dinner done!"
"Mmm, smells good from here" Haruka said, she gave a small smile to Hotaru who led the way to the dinning room.
"Setsuna-Mama!" Hotaru called to the kitchen, "They're here!"
"Oh good!" A faceless voice called from the kitchen, "Go ahead and take some seats! I'll be right out!"
"So how is the seventh grade Hotaru-chan?" Michiru asked, "Are you taking orchestra? Or did you give up on the violin?"
"No, I'm still playing it." Hotaru nodded, "School is fine, me and Chibi-usa even made a new friend today!"
"Oh?" Haruka looked from Michiru and back to Hotaru, "Who would that be?"
"Her name is Shiroi! She's new to our school!"
Before Haruka could ask anymore questions Setsuna walked in with a piping hot ham; Rice balls, egg rolls, green beans, and bread were already set on the table.
"Dinner! Is served." Setsuna said, she took her seat and started to cut up the ham, "So how have you two been lately? Haven't herd from you in a while."
"Oh we've been touring," Michiru said as she started to serve herself, "Ever since we got out of High School it's been a bit hectic, how are the inners?"
"Usagi and them have been fine," Setsuna passed around the ham, "Nothing has happened since the Galaxia incident, Usagi figured she'd finish up High School before she'd move in with Mamoru. Hotaru get some green beans, you haven't been eating your vegetables lately!"
Hotaru looked to Haruka as if Haruka ruled over all.
"Oh come on Hotaru, your in the seventh grade," Haruka pilled some beans onto Hotaru's plate, "Eat up kiddo! They're good for yea!"
"Yea but they taste like they could kill me..." Hotaru mumbled, she plugged her nose and ate the green beans.
"That'ah girl! Scouts need to be strong!"
"Yea, take it from Haruka." Michiru said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
Scene 7: Chibi-usa and Usagi's house, 6:30 PM (sundown)
"Bai Chibi-usa!" Shiroi called out as she started to walk home.
"It's BYE! Not BAI!" Chibi-usa called back.
"That's what I said! BAI! Geez!"
Chibi-usa giggled and shut the door, when she turned around Usagi was watching TV. She walked over and plopped herself next to her on the couch.
"Today on News Channel 5, there has been weird occurrences all over Tokyo of two teenage girls... jumping roof, to, roof around the times of midnight" The news reporter announced, "Adults, check and talk to your kids about the dangers of jumping off roofs. Talk to them also about how dangerous it is to go out at night without an adult around."
"Roof to roof?" Chibi-usa said, "Do they mean climbing roof to roof or actual jumping?"
"Shh!" Usagi hushed her.
"We have footage of this weird scene," The TV said, "If these girls look familiar to you, please report to the authorities admittedly. We have never seen such movement, and agility, since the times of Sailor V. New Sailor Vs? Or just some really weird fans? Let's take a look..."
The picture of the reporter disappeared and a picture of two roof tops appeared. Sure enough two girls ran across one of the roof tops, and jumped to the next one! The girls made it look so easy! They landed with ease together and the tape plaid over again. One of the girl's hair was in a tight pony tail, and the other one had long hair that followed her every movement with a bow at the top like Minako's. It was too dark to see their faces, or the color of their hair. Chibi-usa noticed that two cats were following them and jumping with them too. After the fifth time of the re-play the TV reporter came back on.
"If you have any clues or information to this unusual appearance, please call the number below" The reporter said, sure enough the number appeared below, "Tomorrow's weather report, sunny skies, and some clou--"
The TV was turned off when Usagi herd the phone ring, she ran over and picked it up.
"Tsukino residence," She spoke into the phone, "Ami! Yes, I was just watching it too! Should we call a meeting?" she paused to listen, "Maybe it was just Minako and Makoto having some fun with Artamis and Luna," she paused again, "3 o-clock, after school? Rei's? Okay, bye Ami."
Usagi hung up.
"It's late, let's get some sleep."
Chibi-usa and Usagi went up the stairs to go to bed, they had school the next morning, but Chibi-usa couldn't help but think of the two weird girls. A new enemy?
Scene 8: Setsuna and Hotaru's house, in the living room, 6:45 PM (sundown)
Haruka switched off the TV and looked to Michiru and Setsuna.
"That wasn't Minako or Makoto, they were both too short." Haruka said.
"Maybe they were just some kids" Michiru said, she flipped a piece of her teal bangs out of her face.
"No, normal people can't jump like that..." Haruka mumbled, "We've got some new soldiers on our hands, but who?"
"...if any of the inners saw this," Setsuna said, taking a sip of her tea, "I bet they'd be having a meeting at the Shrine tomorrow, after school. Shall we join them? If not, inform them at the least."
"Sure" Michiru said, "Hotaru, we'll pick you and Chibi-usa up after school tomorrow."
"What about Shiroi?" Hotaru asked, a bit worried.
"Who? Oh yea. We'll pick up her up too, but I suggest we drop her off at her house," Haruka said, "We can't take her with us."
"All right..."
"Now, we must be going" Michiru said, she got up and grabbed her coat, "It's a bit late and we have a busy day tomorrow."
"Yes, it is getting late" Haruka said, she gave Hotaru and Setsuna a hug, "It was nice seeing you two again."
Setsuna saw Haruka and Michiru off and Hotaru went upstairs to change into her pjs and go to sleep.
Scene 9: Haruka's car, riding down a highway, 8:00 PM (night)
The wind ripped around the car, speeds at even professional drivers would be afraid of.
"Friend? Foe? Or the cause of stupid kids?" Michiru asked, she watched the city lights zip past her.
"Foe-- friends would have come out of hiding..."
"Maybe they have their reasons.."
"We all have our reasons, some better then others" Haruka said, more to herself then to Michiru, "But in the end, they're all just excuses to hide..."
"Should we see for ourselves?" Michiru asked, "The reporter said, they were out around midnight. Maybe we should have a stake out."
Haruka nodded in agreement, as if she was thinking the same thing.
Scene 10: On top of a building in Tokyo, 11:55 PM (before midnight)
The two found themselves on top of a roof in their soldier uniforms, Sailor Neptune sitting on the edge of the building with her legs elegantly crossed. Sailor Uranus standing over Neptune with her arms folded across her chest, both waiting for the same thing.
"Do you think they'll come?" Sailor Neptune asked, "Or do you think we should have brought some cards?"
"Both..." Uranus said, "They'll come, just wait."
Another ten, fifteen, twenty minutes passed by. Then, out of the darkness a flash of bright yellow jumped from a building.
"Neptune! Look!" Sailor Uranus said, she pointed to the very fast moving flash of yellow, "There's only one though..."
"One is better then none" Neptune said as she stood, "Let's go!"
The two were off, copying the other scout by jumping roof to roof. Then the scout stopped, so did Neptune and Uranus. A flash of black and purple jumped in front of the girl wearing the bright yellow fuku, her baby blue back bow danced on the small breeze passing.
"Get down..." Uranus whispered as she pulled Neptune down with her behind the ledge of a building, "Shh.."
The one with the baby blue and bright yellow fuku had boots that went to her knees like Sailor Moon's, they were bright yellow matching her skirt. Her light brown hair was tightly pulled back along with her bangs in a neat pony tail, she held a staff in her right hand. A baby blue swirl followed up the yellow staff and twisted it's self around the white star at the top, imprisoning it.
The other one had long blond hair that went to her knees, it was slightly held up by a black bow neatly on the top. Her skirt was black, and her bows were a dark purple. Her gloves went all the way up past her elbows, and her boots were like Jupiter's only black, in one of her gloved hands she had a leather whip. She looked allot older then the other bright colored scout.
The two anonymous soldiers exchanged glances and started to run, they ran, and jumped to the next roof. Uranus and Neptune followed after the two, waiting for them to de-transform to know their identities. Uranus and Neptune staid far enough to not be seen or herd.
"Who do you think they are?" Neptune asked.
"I don't know, but it's weird," Uranus said right before they leaped another building, "They make no sounds, not when they run, not when they land, not when they jump, it's like your watching a silent movie."
The two anonymous soldiers stopped in their tracks, the one with the yellow and baby blue fuku slowly turned around. Uranus and Neptune had no time to hide themselves so they just stopped and watched.
"Shit..." Uranus said in disgust, "We're found..."
"Who are you!?" Sailor Neptune called out, discarding what Uranus said.
The two anonymous soldiers both looked at each other, the older looking one stepped forward.
"You call yourselves senshi?" She called back, her voice mellow and soothing, "But you know not who your enemies or your friends are?"
Sailor Uranus frowned, she took a step forward.
"And I suppose you know who we are?" Uranus said, her frown changed to a smirk.
"Goddess of the wild winds, Sailor Uranus, Ten'ou Haruka." The younger one called out as she too stepped forward, her voice strong for such a small child but still soothing somehow, like a lullaby, "Goddess of the untamed seas, Sailor Neptune, Ten'ou Michiru. I tell you both, do not get into something you do not understand... go back while you still have the chance to do so."
Uranus' smirk was quickly wiped off her face, how did they know our identities!?! Was that last sentence a threat?
"What did you say!?" Uranus yelled back.
"Go back!" The older one repeated for the younger one as she too fully turned around, "Or you will regret it in the end..."
Uranus held up her hand, the jewel case for the space sword appeared, she snatched it and brought it out. In one leap she was on the roof where the two other scouts were, she pointed the space sword at the older one.
"Say it again..." Uranus snarled, her glare could scare the dead.
"Uranus! Get over here!" Neptune yelled at her, "I mean it! Now!"
"Leave..." The young girl whispered, yet her voice still strong, she held up her staff and yelled to the heavens, "SATURN'S! HELL!"
She quickly aimed her staff at Sailor Uranus, a blast of rainbow lights in all shades and colors wrapped themselves around Uranus, they enclosed on her. A huge blast of light appeared, it faded and Sailor Uranus was no longer there, a small crystal about the size of her hand laid on the roof top of the building replacing Uranus. The scout bent over and picked it up, inside it was a miniature Sailor Uranus... sleeping in the crystal.
"URANUS!!" Neptune cried, she ran and jumped to the next roof.
The two soldiers looked up, they ran and started to jump roof to roof also, Sailor Neptune chased after them as fast as she could but never seemed to be able to catch up. The two soldiers jumped down into an ally, the younger one placed the crystal on the floor of the ally and pointed her staff at the small crystal yet again.
"SATURN'S! CURSE!" She yelled again, a blast of purple and white light surrounded the crystal.
The two soldiers ran, when Sailor Neptune finally got to the ally she saw Sailor Uranus sleeping soundly on the ground of the ally and back to her original size... not hurt a bit, in fact she was even detransformed. Neptune looked about, but the two soldiers were already gone.
