A/N (or Foreword): Quite a few years ago I wrote a story about the Zodiac warriors, a group of girls and a few boys who transformed magically into warriors. It was a rip-off of Sailor Moon, and the cool thing was that I made it the English version! So there is technically a prequel to this here fanfic (but it's now in my head), and if this is well received I will type it and post it up. To make sure this is clear; I know it's predictable, but it's just a bit of fun. I have decided that after discovering the inner Zodiac Senshi, the main character; Sky (known as Sora by her half-Japanese, half brother Hiro), goes on a school exchange trip that lasts for six months. Guess who her exchange is?! Yes, that's right, it's Usagi Tsukino! All of it will be written in English with a few Japanese words thrown in (I'll translate at the beginning of each chapter, don't worry) and I won't bother italic-ing when they speak in English or when they speak in Japanese. Let's assume that while they're in Japan it's Japanese and between the English characters it's... Well,... English.

Please enjoy!

Sailor Moon Z:

The Twelve Senshi of the Western Zodiac

Sora: Konnichiwa, Tsukino-san!

Bunny: Hello, Sky. Please call me Usagi!

Sora: Ah! Sorry! ; I'm a little nervous. (You may call me Sora if you wish, my Onii-chan calls me that).

Bunny: Oh, I am nervous too! I am so happy to be talking to you though! So, what are your interests?

Sora: Well... I love to read comic books!

Bunny: Really?! ME TOO!

Sora: I like shopping as well.

Bunny: And food?

Sora: Of course! So, please, tell me more about yourself?

Bunny: Well, I have a boyfriend called Mamoru and I'm in love with him and in the future we're married!

Sora: ...

Bunny: ; I mean that we're engaged.

Sora: Oh! That makes a lot more sense! How old is he?

Bunny: Well, he's in University now. He's 19. You are 16 like me, aren't you?

Sora: Yes! But I don't have a boyfriend. Is your Mamoru receiving an exchange or is it just your school?

Bunny: No, it isn't just my school. My friend Rei-chan's school, T.A. Girls' Academy is taking part and a friend of mine (Meiou-sempai) Setsuna-chan is a part-time nurse at our school. She is taking an exchange called... Daniel I think.

Sora: He must be from the Boys' School.

Bunny: Oh, I forgot you went to an all Girls' School like Rei-chan does!

Sora: I can't wait to come over...

Chapter One

The Arrival

Sky nervously looked around for her exchange, she could remember briefly what the friendly girl looked like, but only briefly. Like a flashing memory that just slips away or like when you have a word on the tip of your tongue that refuses to not stick, so you just don't know. It's a very annoying feeling. Around her she was surrounded by boys and girls. Girls all from her own school and boys from the corresponding boys' school in her city back in England. It was the first time either school had partaken in a school exchange so far from home, especially one in Asia where the Language isn't just hard to speak, it's hard to read and write too. Japan. It was lovely here. Sky was excited. She was here in Tokyo about to meet a kind, funny girl whom she had much in common with. It was all thanks to Sky's half brother, actually. Without him there would have been no trip. Sky's father's first wife had been Japanese and with her he had had a son, they had given him two names; Harry and Hiro, so that he may chose which heritage he may find most comfortable. Unfortunately after a few years, when Hiro was still a small child, she had died, leaving the small child without a mother. Sky's father had easily found a new spouse and when Hiro was five Sky had been born. Hiro had always called her Sora. He didn't want her to feel left out, considering he himself had two names.

Sky examined the faces around her. Opposite was a mass of sailor-styled Japanese school uniforms, one she would no doubt be wearing soon. She smiled shyly as she caught people's eyes before looking back to the English student's nattering loudly. She caught the eye of a handsome, tall student from the Boys' school, he had dreamy green eyes and deep red hair. He saw Sky looking and smiled softly, a gentleness to his eyes. Sky smiled curtly, turning away and blushing. How embarrassing. She had been caught staring!

"Onii-chan!" Sky called out to one of the teachers. Hiro turned to his little sister and smiled fondly to her.

"What is it, Sora-chan?" he smiled, poking her nose fondly.

"When do we meet our exchanges?" Sky asked, stretching. "Oh! Wait! You never told me what it is you will be doing! Where will you stay?"

"Calm down Imouto!" he smiled, ruffling her hair, much to her annoyance. "Robert and I have rented an apartment nearby."

"Where is Robert-nii-chan?" Sky asked, distracted again.

"Sorting out paper work, you know how I fail at that!" Hiro laughed, but stopped promptly to accommodate the unimpressed look riddling his sister's pretty face.

"Gurudingu-san?" A light-haired girl inquired, an expectant look on her face as she approached Sky.

"Ah! You must me Sora-chan's exchange. Tsukino-kun, was it?" Hiro exclaimed and the girl smiled.

"It's so good to finally meet you, Tsukino-san!" Sky exclaimed, bowing politely.

"Please, do call me Usagi!" the Odango-haired girl giggled.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot to!" Sky laughed nervously.

"That is fine, Sora-chan... It is okay to call you that, isn't it?" Usagi smiled, her face looking like it would twitch with nerves at any moment.

"Of course. I must say I love your odango!" Sky grinned, admiring the neatness.

"Dumpling-head!" a male voice called from behind Sky. Slowly Sky turned to examine the origin of the voice.

Sky felt a crimson blush spread across her cheek bones as a tall, dark-haired young man approached them, a small silver earring in his left ear lobe. He was wearing a neat, regal looking Tux outfit, but without the jacket. What really made Sky blush was not even because of the raven-haired guy's handsomeness and attractiveness. It was the fact the following behind him was the same gorgeous redhead boy from the Boys' school as she had been staring at before.

'Mamo-chan!" Usagi exclaimed, throwing her arms around him.

"Usako," 'Mamo-chan' grinned, smiling down to her fondly, "Meet Toma Taila-san, he is my exchange."

"Tyler Thomas," the said male smiled, looking straight at Sky.

"My name is Sky Goulding," Sky smiled, flicking her dark-hair back.

"May I please call you Sora-chan?" 'Mamo-chan' asked politely, his arm held loosely around his girl.

"Hai!" Sky nodded, blushing slightly.

"This is Chiba Mamoru, my boyfriend!" Usagi giggled, looking up to him fondly.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Chiba-sempai," Sky smiled, bowing her head to him.

"How did you find the flight, Sky?" Tyler inquired, causing Sky to blush with surprise. She took a moment to think, still caught off guard.

"Oh, yes. It was fine. I've been on worse!" Sky smiled, staring into his forest green eyes. "And you?"

"I was privileged enough to be sitting next to a beautiful girl with a talent for drawing!" he winked, causing Sky to blush. She didn't think anyone had seen her sketch book.

"Oh! Sora-chan you will have to show us that!" Usage exclaimed, tugging on a disgruntled Mamoru's arm from excitement.

"Maybe," Sky said softly, avoiding looking at Tyler if she could.

It was a little while before they were able to depart from the teachers. Robert had taken longer than expected to sort out paper work. He wasn't exactly fluent in Japanese. Usagi had taken Sky straight to her house so she could put her luggage somewhere before they set off towards Mamoru's apartment.

As they made their way to the apartment, Sky felt her stomach to be slightly jumpy. She was nervous too. She thought about why. She was fine with the Japanese language. She didn't feel nervous about the exchange. Mamoru did not intimidate her, even if he was in Uni. No. It was Tyler. He was just so incredibly handsome and gentle and he had such...captivating eyes. They reached the building and Usagi led them to the right door.
