Author's note: This is my first SailorMoon fanfic, so please give me criticism
and helpful tips on how to improve upon this. I will truly appreciate all
constructive criticism and help towards my fic. This is just the first of a few
episodes in a series which I am writing and....well you'll just have to read.
Ante Up!
From the dark depth of another dimension sat a lone figure upon a throne. His
hair was long and slightly wavy with a silver hue. His eyes could mesmerize
anyone who dared to look into them. He was stunning and such a sight to behold,
but his heart, however, was darker than a black hole. Many who heard his name
shivered in fear and those who were fortunate enough to escape his wrath usually
became servants to his dark power. It seemed that he was the ultimate enemy
destined to take over the moon kingdom, but he fell short of his domination when
the senshi of the Moon Kingdom met him in battle. Once he was defeated, Queen
Serenity banished him, along with his dark minions, to the dark dimension for
eternity, never to gaze upon the light of the sun. Before he was to be sent into
the dark dimension, he uttered his last words. "Dear Queen, you may have
defeated me now, but there shall come a time when the power of a star shall free
me from my prison and the power of time shall come into my possession, making me
once again the most powerful adversary your children will ever face. I shall
rise again to power, this time I will crush your precious senshi and all who
dare to stand in my way. From the past, to the present and to the future, all
shall bow to me."
Queen Serenity knew of the legendary star, but the legend spoke of the star
being of light and darkness. Should the power of the dual star be released, the
universe would never be the same. The power of the wanderer of time would grant
anyone the ability to freely travel time. This power alone could forever change
the universe to form to any person's will, making the future even darker or
lighter than before, depending upon the forces in possession of this. The
thought of the combination of the two powers in the hands of evil was enough to
cause grave concern for Queen Serenity and her court. "Luna...Artemis...I am
entrusting the knowledge of Alucard's imprisonment and the legend to you. Should
this legend to happen to become reality, please, find the Wanderer and the Dual
Star, and keep them both from Alucard's hands. If Alucard should posses them
both, then all hope for this kingdom...for this universe...but most of all for
the lives of Princess Serenity and her court are in grave danger. Guard this
knowledge carefully and when the time is right, prepare the senshi for the
worst." she said, looking upon the Moon Kingdom with concern. "Yes you Majesty."
they uttered as they witness the sealing of Alucard and his evil minions. She
wondered just how long the peace of the Moon Kingdom would last and how long
before Alucard's evil prediction would become reality.
It was upon the New Year's Eve of 31st century that from out of nowhere, an evil
force tore through the outer pentacle of Crystal Tokyo. The inner senshi fought
their best to protect Neo Queen Serenity and Neo Princess Serenity from their
wrath, but ultimately failed in their attempt. It seemed that the new evil
called themselves 'The Children of Darkness' and was far more vicious in their
brood attack than anything they encountered. In a last attempted to save what
was left of their world, the King of Uranus and Neptune, Haruka, and the
guardian of time sent the last remaining children of the senshi unaffected deep
sleep brought upon by the Children of Darkness into the past where they hoped
that they would be safe from the evil. Unfortunately, the evil too found a way
to the past, searching for the Dual Star and the Wanderer of Time.
And so...our story begins.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was the middle of the semester in school, but that truly didn't matter for
one student. The winter semester usually meant that she hard to participate in
more indoor activities as opposed to the outside athletics she truly enjoyed.
Still, it was better than nothing she thought as she gazed out of the window
during her Modern Japanese class. Her name was Haruka and she was a 10th grade
classmen who was on the road to become one of the greatest racers the world had
ever seen. "That is the lecture for today class," the sensei said, finishing up
for the class period, "Please read through chapter 5 and have question ready for
Monday's lecture."
The class members rustled as the day for school was finished. Michiru waited for
Haruka outside the classroom door, holding herself in her arms as she watched
Haruka gather her belongings. As Haruka passed by the teacher's desk, she gave
Michiru a slight smile and wink.
"Tenou Haruka" called the sensei as she passed the desk, "may I have a word with
you for a few moments." Michiru frowned slightly over hearing the sensei's
words. Haruka sighed and signaled for her to wait after her. Michiru nodded and
left the doorway, leaving Haruka at the mercy of the sensei. "Tenou Haruka, I
have noticed you seem to be lacking in this class. Is there a reason for that?"
she asked, trying to read Haruka. She simply gazed back at her and stated the
obvious. "I don't like Modern Japanese. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Well, do you detest it so much to the point where you are willing to fail for
the semester?" Haruka looked back at the sensei in mild shock. "Fail?"
"Yes. You performance in this classroom setting is far below any standard of
student I have come across. You lack so far behind the other that even if you
were to study hard and work hard, your efforts would not be enough" she said,
shuffling her papers together. "Is there nothing I can do to pass this
semester?" Haruka asked, holding her back over her left shoulder and looking to
the sensei for some gleam of hope. The sensei's face changed non-upon hearing
Haruka's plead, she simply shifted her spectacles to meet her eyes. Haruka
sighed heavily. She needed to pass this semester's and next semester's course in
order to complete the 10th grade, but she still detested Modern Japanese. "There
may be a way that I would allow you to pass this course" the sensei finally
said. Haruka's mind waited in anticipation of a solution. "What?"
"There's an international exchange program for those seeking to learn other
cultures...particularly our culture. Most of the international students already
have host families, but there's one left who's seeking to come here. If you or
your family would agree to give them a home for the semester or year, and
provided that you study hard, it would help you to pass this course possibly
with a B average."
"WHAT?!"
"You have the option, Tenou Haruka. It's your choice, host this person for a
while or fail the course and possible face retention in the 10th grade. Here's
the brochure. Just give it some thought."
Haruka took up the brochure and stormed out of the classroom. Michiru was at the
school's door waiting for Haruka. She noticed a sudden change in Haruka's mood
and decided against talking to her about what happened knowing that it would
only spark Haruka more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later on that night, when Haruka calmed down enough, Michiru decided to bring up
the incident from earlier. "Haruka" she said softly as she sat upon the couch,
"what did sensei say to you earlier that caused so much anger in you?" Haruka
remained silent for a few moments. Without even looking to her, she handed her
the brochure which sensei gave to her earlier. Michiru examined it closely.
"Host family? Haruka?"
"Sensei told me that in order for me to pass the course for the semester, I
could host a student from another country and work hard in her class...or I
could choose not to and fail for the semester, possibly face retention." Michiru
sighed to herself. It was ideal with just to two of them, but another person?
How would they react to there...'lifestyle'? She placed one of her petite hands
upon her shoulder, "Well...what are you going to do?"
"I have no choice. I can't afford to fail this course. Why couldn't this be
something that I like...like Physical Education or something? Anything but
this."
"This is your grade, Haruka. Hmmm....they could stay in the guest room
downstairs." Haruka smiled to Michiru, "They might decide to go back to their
country if you catch my drift" she said, taking Michiru in her arms. "Oh, Haruka
you know that isn't right."
"I know I know.... but it's just having someone else here? That's going
be...odd, don't you think?"
"Maybe, but this is your grade we're talking about. Do what's best, but
please...try to be civil to them."
"I won't make any promises, you know that Michiru."
Haruka gave her Modern Japanese teacher her decision and within a week, their
international student arrived at the Airport. Haruka stood in her usual slacks
and shirt while Michiru wore a nice dress for the occasion. Truth be known,
Michiru was kinda excited about hosting an international student. They didn't
know much about her, except that the student was a she, and that she would
arrive at the appointed time in the airport in gate 51. The flight from Hawaii
finally landed and many people disembarked the plane, many of which were
families of tourist and a few single men. Haruka winked at a couple of them,
giving some mixed feeling about their first encounters with the 'natives'. A few
stood at the airport's seating area, taking pictures dumbfounded as if they
never set foot outside of whatever back hills place they came from. As the
passenger flow began to dwindle, Michiru wondered if they had the correct
information. Could they have gotten the wrong gate? Finally, near the end of the
long trail of people, walked a long figure holding one bag over her shoulder and
another in her right hand. If it were not for the fact that Michiru could tell
the difference between a guy and a girl in male clothing, one could have
mistaken her for one.
She had on indigo blue pants, accompanied by the typical boots. She wore a
sweater with a small tie underneath while her leather trench coat swayed with
every movement, masking her figure from many. Her hair was green, almost like
Michiru's color, but a bit lighter with a straight sleek grade much like
Haruka's hair. It was neatly braided and draped over her right shoulder, falling
a little passed her chest. Michiru couldn't get a good look at her eyes at the
moment, but she could tell that the girl felt a bit awkward in this country as
the followed the path of the people in front of her. Finally, as she stood a few
feet near Haruka and Michiru, she looked up and paned her view around the room.
Her eyes made contact with Haruka's cold gaze, then with Michiru's slightly
warmer look. Her eyes were like deep emerald and her beauty so ethereal that the
men nearby were mesmerized by her presence.
She finally made her way to the duo unsure really of what to say. The girl took
in a deep breath and spoke to them. "Are you Tenou Haruka and Kiaoh Michiru?"
she said with a certain coldness about her. "Maybe..." Haruka replied back, "Are
you Alexia Kianou?"
"Yes, I am she. And you are? Let me guess...you're Tenou Haruka. Am I correct in
assuming so?" Haruka nodded. "I see" Alexia said, turning her look to Michiru.
Her gaze seemed to turn softer when she did look to Michiru. "And you are Kiaoh
Michiru?" Michiru nodded as well, smiling slightly. "Alexia. Such a pretty name
for a pretty girl as yourself" Michiru stated, trying to break the uneasy
atmosphere. Haruka looked at Michiru in surprise; normally she would have said
something like that. Alexia blushed and smiled at Michiru. "It is a pleasure to
meet you both" she said, bowing at the waist, "May we please proceed to the
baggage claim area?" Haruka, followed by Michiru, led Alexia to the claim area.
It took what seemed like forever for her luggage to come around, but then again,
that was in Haruka's mind. Finally, her luggage came around and they loaded the
car up.
In the car, the conversation seemed distant. It seemed that something was
bothering Alexia. Maybe she was shy or didn't like what she saw. Or it could
have been Haruka who gave her such an uneasy feeling. Either way, Haruka only
had to host her for the rest of the semester, which was about 3 months, but that
would seem like forever. "So, Alexia, what brings you to our school?" Michiru
asked. She was always the polite and refined hostess. Even though she couldn't
quite empathize with Alexia about being in another country, she could, in fact,
sympathize with her feeling uneasy and scared. Alexia sighed at the question,
not truly wanting to answer it, but it was only proper that they would ask. "My
parents" she said, looking to the concrete forest, "they figured that it would
be best if I came to another ti...country...to study."
"Did you want to come here to study?"
"Not really...maybe a little. It's just that being without my...best
friend...it's so lonely, but I need not bother you with such problems."
*A refined mannerism* she thought as she listened carefully to Alexia's speech.
Haruka rolled her eyes as she approached their apartment complex. Pulling into
the driveway, Alexia gathered her belonging and proceeded to follow her
hostesses. She carried about 6 bags total, 4 shoulder bags, one rolling bag and
another rolling bag, though it was slightly larger than the first. Haruka noted
the sort of strength the girl displayed in taking all the bags all by herself.
As they entered the doorway, Haruka turned to tell Alexia to take off her shoes,
but found that she knew this amongst other cultural tradition. 'Maybe there is
something more to her than I think' she thought to herself.
It took maybe an hour or so, but finally Alexia got settled for the night. "And
this is our room" Haruka said, "Understand?"
"Whatever." Alexia said, not giving a shift to her expression.
"Hmph. So is there anything else you wanna know?"
"Nothing that important...but does this school have athletics and music
classes...and could one of you be so kind as to give me a ride to the docks. My
vehicle will be arriving tomorrow and I don't know where it is."
"Sure, we'll be more than happy to give you a ride" Michiru said, preparing
something to eat, "Music classes for female they do have...but as far as female
athletics are concerned, uhm...I'm sure Haruka could help you on that
department."
"What sports are you looking for kid?" Haruka asked. Alexia rolled her eyes
slightly " basketball...and some Martial Arts."
"Martial arts? Which style do you know?"
"Mainly Jiujutsu...and Aikido."
"Hmm...and you participate in basketball along with playing instruments?" Haruka
wondered, "How do you keep you hand from being injured?"
"I'm a very careful person."
"Interesting..." Haruka said, not really impressed with her, "Maybe I'll take
you on sometime after school has released for the day."
"That would be interesting, indeed."
That night, Michiru prepare what she called, Alexia's first Japanese dinner. It
composed of a few dishes, some of which Alexia was familiar with. The dinner was
delicious according to Alexia, which she seemed to eat quite a bit of fried rice
with almost every serving. For a small framed girl, she has quite an appetite.
Maybe she was famished from her long trip, or maybe she was the type that could
eat a horse and gain virtually no weight. Still, there was something deeper
about her that bothered Haruka deeply, but she couldn't figure out quite what it
was. Alexia retired for the night, saying that the long flight tired her out.
Haruka watched her carefully, still feeling uneasy about her.
"She bothers you doesn't she, Haruka-kun" Michiru asked, cleaning up the
remainder of the dishes. "Huh? Well...there's something about her that bothers
me. I don't know, maybe I'm still uneasy about this."
"Haruka...just try to work with her. She doesn't seem that much of a bad person
at all, and from her mannerism, doesn't mind the fact that 'we're' together."
Michiru wiped her hands and snuggled next to Haruka on the couch. "Just give it
time, she seems understanding enough."

"Nothing that important...but does this school have athletics and music
classes...and could one of you be so kind as to give me a ride to the docks. My
vehicle will be arriving tomorrow and I don't know where it is."
"Sure, we'll be more than happy to give you a ride" Michiru said, preparing
something to eat, "Music classes for female they do have...but as far as female
athletics are concerned, uhm...I'm sure Haruka could help you on that
department."
"What sports are you looking for kid?" Haruka asked. Alexia rolled her eyes
slightly " basketball...and some Martial Arts."
"Martial arts? Which style do you know?"
"Mainly Jiujutsu...and Aikido."
"Hmm...and you participate in basketball along with playing instruments?" Haruka
wondered, "How do you keep you hand from being injured?"
"I'm a very careful person."
"Interesting..." Haruka said, not really impressed with her, "Maybe I'll take
you on sometime after school has released for the day."
"That would be interesting, indeed."
That night, Michiru prepare what she called, Alexia's first Japanese dinner. It
composed of a few dishes, some of which Alexia was familiar with. The dinner was
delicious according to Alexia, which she seemed to eat quite a bit of fried rice
with almost every serving. For a small framed girl, she has quite an appetite.
Maybe she was famished from her long trip, or maybe she was the type that could
eat a horse and gain virtually no weight. Still, there was something deeper
about her that bothered Haruka deeply, but she couldn't figure out quite what it
was. Alexia retired for the night, saying that the long flight tired her out.
Haruka watched her carefully, still feeling uneasy about her.
"She bothers you doesn't she, Haruka-kun" Michiru asked, cleaning up the
remainder of the dishes. "Huh? Well...there's something about her that bothers
me. I don't know, maybe I'm still uneasy about this."
"Haruka...just try to work with her. She doesn't seem that much of a bad person
at all, and from her mannerism, doesn't mind the fact that 'we're' together."
Michiru wiped her hands and snuggled next to Haruka on the couch. "Just give it
time, she seems understanding enough."
