Chapter 1: Meetings
"Hey, it's the cat with the bald spot" I cried as the cat approached me
"It's not a bald spot. How rude" it said to me.
I jumped away, "It talked. A cat-A cat talked." I gasped.
It cleared its throat, "My name is Luna. I've been looking for you, Usagi"
I shook uncontrollably. I had to be dreaming.
"Oh, I need to thank you first. Thank you very much" she said.
"You really helped me out by taking the band-aid off. I can't talk and my sensory powers are dulled when I'm like that. I was having trouble because of that band-aid prank. But thanks to you, I finally found you" she giggled.
She approached me and I hurriedly pushed my head against the bedspread, "Good Night" I muttered
The cat above me cried out, "Usagi, this is not a dream!"
I felt her paws on my head, pushing down, trying to get me to accept this as real, "C'mon, Usagi!" she cried
She stopped momentarily, "Fine, then I'll wake you up"
I felt a light weight drop down onto the bed and I peeked upwards.
"Usagi, this is a present for you" she said as I admired the item.
"Really? I can have this?" I asked, amazed.
I walked off and put on the broach, ignoring everything Luna was saying.
Here I was, the Sailor Senshi of the Moon in her third year of high school.
How did this even happen you ask?
It wasn't much, other than working my ass off with the girls.
Usagi Tsukino had made it to her junior year! Somehow.
Second year had been extremely hard, and I definitely hadn't tried very hard, but then when the time came for either pass or fail, I managed to scrape together a pass.
"Usagi?" I heard someone call for me.
I turned around and found four girls waiting for me.
Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino, in order of my meeting of them.
Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus, respectively.
I had met them throughout my first year of finding out I was Sailor Moon, which had been last year.
Nothing had progressed other than Luna finding them and telling them of their powers. A monster popped up every once in a while, but that was rare, we knew nothing of them.
"You are Sailor Moon, chosen to find the Moon Princess" Luna said to me after I had calmed down.
"The Moon Princess?" I asked
"The holder of the Silver Crystal, she shall have the answers" she said
I nodded, "Okay, then, so what powers do I have?"
"Just say 'Moon Prism Power, Make-up'" she said to me
"Moon Prism Power, Make-up!" I said
Suddenly I was eclipsed in a bright light and commenced my transformation.
When I emerged from the light, I had a short blue skirt, gloves, boots, and a tiara. It was like I was another person. Sailor Moon to be exact.
The girls and I walked to our class. Somehow we had all ended up in the same homeroom.
Before we arrived I heard uproariously laughing.
I turned to see Diamond Torii laughing his head off with a few girls. I saw him send me a glance, as he laughed harder.
I narrowed my eyes and turned around and kept walking.
"Oh, Usagi, when are the two of you going to grow up?" asked Rei
I laughed, "When hell freezes over, how should I know?" I responded
The girls laughed, and Ami said, "You two just clash so often, both trying to control everything"
I shook my head, "No, I'm nothing like him"
We changed topics and commenced talking of our amazing summer.
Pretty soon we were seated. Of course Diamond had ended up in the same homeroom as the rest of us, just great.
"All right guys, cool down, I want to introduce you guys about a new student" Mr. Morgan said to us, and we quieted instantly. A new kid was hot gossip.
He walked to the door and opened it.
In walked…I don't even know how to describe him. Other than saying that all the girls in our class gasped.
He was breath taking. He had short black hair that framed his blue eyes, and a tight shirt that showed off his muscles perfectly.
I looked around at the other girls and all of them were eying him like a piece of candy.
I noticed the guys glaring at him, I smirked. They definitely weren't happy.
"Guys, this is Chiba Mamoru. I'll let him tell you about himself" Mr. Morgan said as he went and sat behind his desk.
"Well, as Mr. Morgan said, I'm Chiba Mamoru, I'm from New York, born and raised there, and I moved here just recently, I've heard amazing things about Japan"
His eyes came upon me and held my gaze. He smiled softly, and I returned the smile, sort of. I saw everyone glancing at me, and then they began talking.
"Oh, Mamoru" I heard Anne call from the other side of the room, "You can sit here" she said pointing to the seat next to her.
He turned to her and smiled, "No thanks, there's a seat right here as well" he said as he walked over to the seat behind me.
"Oh, Usagi, since you're right there, would you mind escorting Mamoru around and showing him the school" called Mr. Morgan from the front.
I groaned, great, more charity. What I do to remain on the good side of teachers. Though I'm pretty sure I would enjoy this task.
"Sure, Mr. Morgan" I called to him
Mamoru came and seated himself behind me.
"Hi" he said
"Hey" I answered, glancing at Makoto who was eying the two of us.
She gave me her 'he looks like my old boyfriend look' and I grinned back at her, easily sending my message back, 'You think every guy that comes along looks like your old boyfriend'
"So, you're Usagi then?" he asked
"Yep, Usagi Tsukino" I answered
"The bunny of the moon?" he laughed
I pouted, "Bunnies are the cutest things ever, I don't mind being named after them" I said
He laughed, "Cute" he muttered
"I'm sorry?" I asked. I had heard him. But what did he mean by that?
"Nothing. So tell me, is this school any good?" he asked
I shrugged, "It's not bad, got some decent people here" I said
He nodded, "Cool. Who are they?" he asked
I giggled, "Oops, forgot about that. Guys, what about introducing yourselves" I called to the girls sitting around me.
"I'm Makoto Kino" Makoto said, smiling sweetly at him. I rolled my eyes, here we went.
"Minako Aino" said Minako shortly as she brushed her hair away from her face. I could almost see the hearts coming out of her eyes.
"Rei Hino" Rei said, smiling kindly at Mamoru.
"Ami Mizuno" muttered Ami, barely looking up from her textbook.
I looked up as I heard steps approaching, "I'm Diamond Torii, president of the Student Body, on behalf of the school, I would like to welcome you" he said when he reached my desk.
He held out his hand and Mamoru shook it, "Nice to meet you all" he said
"Anyway, we have a few seats empty over there if you'd like to join us" said Diamond, inclining his head over to the other side of the room.
Mamoru turned his head to look at them. They were all taking secret glances, well not so secret I guess.
"No, thank you, I'm fine here" Mamoru said
Diamond's smile drooped a little, "It's best if you…align yourself with the more…savory students in the school" he said to Diamond
I sat up, "Excuse me, Diamond, are you implying that we aren't savory?" I asked,
He looked down at me, "Oh, I'm sorry, Odango Atama, didn't see you there" he said, smirking, his hand pushed a pencil off the desk.
I rolled my eyes, "You've been rejected, get over it" I said
He leaned down next to my desk, to reach the pencil, whispering quietly, "I always get what I want" he murmured next to my ear as he dropped the pencil on the desk.
I shivered as a reflex and he smirked at me.
I glared back.
"Alright, Mamoru, I'll see you later, girls" he said as he walked back to his seat.
"Um, sorry about that" I muttered to Mamoru, "he's a little…arrogant" I said
Mamoru grinned, "I can see that, and don't worry about it" he said
"So, let's see your schedule, this way I can help you figure out where they are" I said, smiling at him.
"Awesome, we have History, English, Gym and Lunch together" I said to him
He grinned, "Thank god, someone I can count on to help me out" he said
I laughed, "Well, maybe not in the actual class department, I barely made it this year" I muttered at the end
He smiled, "Then we can help each other out, I'm decent in studies" he said
"So, anyway, you're from New York, that's amazing" I said, eyes shining.
I had always loved learning about new places.
"New York's cool I guess, this place seems so different, yet, similar" he said
I laughed, "Well, Tokyo has the weird thing of feeling familiar even if you've never been here before" I said
"You from out of town?" he asked
I shook my head, "Nope, born and raised right here in Juuban district, Tokyo" I said.
The bell rang, signaling 1st period.
"Right, to History we go" I said
Rei also had the class with us, and to my dismay, Diamond as well.
I chose my seat, thankfully our teacher would let us sit wherever we wanted.
Rei and Mamoru chose the seats next to me, and unfortunately Diamond sat directly behind me. With Anne sitting behind Mamoru and next to Diamond.
I groaned, what a fun class this was going to be.
"We meet again Odango, think it's destiny?" he asked
I didn't respond and greeted the other kids in the class.
Poor Mamoru had to introduce himself to the class again, with all girls staring at him again.
The period passed quickly with our teacher teaching us a little World History, among other things.
I told Mamoru directions to get to his next class and then began to walk to mine.
Once again I was graced by Diamond's presence.
"Following me, Diamond?" I asked him as he walked beside me
"I have Japanese now, I'm just getting to class" he said, smirking at me
"But so do I" I said, furrowing my eyebrow
"Coincidence or fate?" he asked, laughing, as his friends surrounded him.
I hurried to class and seated myself next to Ami and Makoto. I waited to make sure other people sat behind me and then relaxed.
I may have been overreacting, but Diamond's schedule was already freaking me out.
Two classes together in a row, I know it happened often, but still…
When I got to Math, there he was again. This time he ended next to me. I groaned to Minako about the weirdness of it all.
Again when I went to English, he was there.
I shook my head and hurried to sit in the corner.
Mamoru joined me, "Hey, how were your last few classes?" he asked
"Horrible" I murmured as Diamond chose a few seats near me, "Diamond managed to end up in all my classes so far"
Mamoru groaned encouragingly, "Wow, that sucks" he said
I nodded.
Class began and I got lost in the English language.
Mamoru and I walked to Gym together, but had to separate for the changing rooms, "See you in a bit" I said as I noticed Diamond ahead of us.
Thankfully, Minako had gym with me as well and I hurried to tell her.
"Minako, it's freaking weird, Diamond has my schedule" I said to her
"Well, it's only half the day, he probably won't be in your other classes" she said to me as we changed.
Gym passed in our separate locker rooms for the Safety speeches they always gave.
When we emerged it was time for lunch.
The girls and I had gotten lucky and all of us had lunch together. I dragged Mamoru to our usual table but was surprised to find Diamond and his crew sitting there already.
He caught my eye and smirked at me.
I turned and walked over to another. The rest of the girls were there already, along with Motoki and a few other guys.
"Hey Motoki" I said to him as I sat down next to him.
Mamoru sat down beside me, "Hi, I'm Mamoru" he said to Motoki and the others.
"Motoki Furuhata, here" Motoki said, offering Mamoru his hand
"Jay Shaw" said a dirty-blonde haired, blue eyed, handsome guy, grinning at us amiably
"Nick Parker" said a short brown-haired, dark-green eyed guy
"Zach Morrison" nodded a regular blonde haired, light green eyed guy, he seemed shy
"Kevin Ford" said a guy whose hair was so blonde it was almost silver, which hung loosely around his ears, "Nice to meet you" he said, his extremely light blue eyes turning to each of us in turn and holding them.
The rest of us introduced ourselves and got to eating and fooling around.
The boys seemed to bond with Mamoru right away, pretty soon they were yelling and chatting with each other.
The girls and I grinned at them. They seemed very happy.
Pretty soon it was time to go. I unfortunately had Physics now.
I totally hated science, all the weird formulas and stuff, I had never managed to understand it. I hoped this year would be different.
Thankfully Motoki had the class with me, so he would help me.
I noticed that Jay, Zach, Ami, and Rei also had the class with us, along with none other than Diamond.
I hurried to grab a seat near the others and they soon surrounded me. Thank god.
I saw Diamond narrow his eyes at the other and then turn to look at me, I hurriedly looked away and began talking to Motoki.
The teacher assigned us our lab partners. By last name.
Guess who I got stuck with?
Yep, that's right, I am now the lab partner of Diamond Torii.
Just freaking great.
I saw him give me a wink and a smirk when the teacher called our names.
Next period I walked slowly to the last class of the day, Psychology.
I spied Kevin in the class also so I hurried to him.
He grinned as I sat down, "Hey Usagi" he said
I smiled back, "Hey Kevin," I said
Once again I watched as Diamond came and seated himself in the front of the room.
How was this possible!? His schedule was exactly like mine!
That's impossible!
I was so not looking forward to the next term.
Kevin escorted me to my locker after class and we got to talking about his hometown in Boston.
The girls and the other guys joined us and we left the school.
We all walked to the parlor where Motoki worked.
It was our usual schedule, we would hang out at the parlor for a little while and then go to Rei's house/temple to practice and study a little.
Yes, I said practice. What? Did you think that just because we're Sailor Senshi we don't need to study martial arts and stuff?
Definitely not. Rei's grandfather and his apprentice taught us some ju jitsu, among other things.
We were definitely capable of defending ourselves if something came up.
After a year, we were nearly black belts, just a little longer to go, before we were masters.
As Sailor Senshi, it was our duty to be ready for whatever came our way.
After hanging out with the others at the parlor, I decided I wasn't up for training.
I said my goodbyes, saying I was tired and would join them tomorrow.
Mamoru offered to walk me home and I accepted.
"So, how'd you like your first day?" I asked him as we began walking in the direction of my house.
"It was fun, everybody's really cool" he said, grinning at me
I smiled back, "Yea, the guys are nice. I guess you all decided to somehow end up together this year" I said
He nodded, "Yea, it's cool how that happened, those four all moved from Boston, and I moved from New York. What a coincidence" he said, laughing
I turned around, furrowing my eyebrows.
I felt weird. Like really weird.
Something was seriously wrong.
My senses were suddenly going off the walls.
I stopped in the middle of the street. It was a monster. I could see the smoke rising from down the street.
Crap, what was I supposed to do about Mamoru?
"Oh, um Mamoru, I forgot something…um somewhere, I gotta go get it, I'll see you later" I cried as I began running down the opposite street.
I ran for a street and ran into an alley, "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!" I cried and emerged as Sailor Moon and ran toward the smoke.
I gasped when I arrived there. There were people lying all over the floor.
I saw a guy wearing a weird gray suit collecting weird colored stuff from them.
"Hey! Hold it right there!" I cried
He turned slowly
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked
"Gathering energy" he said as he continued to collect the stuff.
"Give it back!" I cried as I walked over to one of the kids lying on the floor.
"No" he said as he continued along his way.
I ran up to him and was about to strike him, when he moved quickly out of the way.
"Give it back!" I said as I tried striking him again.
He blocked me easily, and punched me hard in the stomach.
I went flying down the street.
I winced as I got up. Damn that hurt like hell.
I glared at the guy.
"Moon Tiara Action" I cried throwing my tiara at him.
The tiara collided with the energy and a bright light exploded from it.
I saw slivers of color work their way back to the people and I nodded.
I saw the guy approach me and try to hit me.
I dodged him, "What do want?" I asked him as I tried to hit him
"Just what you saw, energy. It is needed to wake our leader" he said as he blocked me easily and stuck me at the chest.
I drew back, wincing. This guy had a hit like a boulder.
"And what leader is that?" I asked as I composed myself and tried to hit him again.
He dodged and managed to get another hit past my block.
This time he kicked my leg and I fell to the floor. His hand flashed around my throat.
"Metallia," he said as he towered over me, squeezing my throat hard.
I tried to move his hands from my throat, but it was useless.
He got to drawing something from his pocket, I saw a flash of silver.
A knife!
I tried ripping his hands from my throat. I brought up my hand and stopped him as he brought the knife down.
Suddenly I saw a flash of red fall beside me.
"You shouldn't attack girls" said a figure from down the street.
He stepped into the light and I saw a dark-haired man, wearing a tuxedo and a mask.
I looked to my side and saw a rose.
A rose?
The man withdrew from above me, he stood up.
"You're lucky today. Bother me again, and it won't happen again" he said to me as he disappeared.
I scrambled to my feet, but when I looked to where the tuxedo guy had been, he was gone.
I looked down at the rose, it was embedded hard into the ground.
I pulled it out, avoiding the thorns and hurried to the alley, where I detransformed.
I winced as I felt pain run through my body.
The guy's hit to my stomach hurt like hell, and my chest and my leg were throbbing.
Let's not even mention how much my throat hurt.
I walked slowly to my house, trying not to put too much pressure.
Thankfully no one was home, or I would have had to explain why I was limping. And why my throat had handprints all over it.
I hurried up to my room, drawing up a bath.
I had learned that a bath was the best thing to relieve tension from an attack.
After a few minutes, I heard the doorbell ring.
I groaned as I shouted out, "Be right there"
I hurriedly put on a bathrobe, and dried my hair, as I walked to the front door.
"Ohayo" I said as I opened the door.
My eyes nearly popped out of their head when I saw Diamond standing there.
"What do you want?" I asked as he leaned against the door, smirking at me.
"Aw, you got all ready for me" he said as he scanned my bathrobe, which was slightly loose on my body. I drew it closer to me, "What do you want?" I asked again, glowering at him.
He smirked at my reaction, "I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie" he said as he drew closer to me.
I drew back, "No thanks, I'd rather not" I said
"Oh, Usagi, why do you insist on being hard to catch" he said as he moved a strand of hair away from my face.
I kept still, "Because I don't want anything to do with you" I snapped
I started to close the door, but his leg flashed in and stopped it.
He pushed the door open, even though I was trying to close it.
He walked in.
I glared at him, "Go away, Diamond" I said
"You don't tell me what to do" he said, in a hard voice
"Well, I'm sorry, but this is my house, so I'm telling you to get out" I said as I held my bathrobe with my hand and pointed at the door with the other.
"Don't you think it's destiny that we ended up together in all our classes" he murmured as he stepped closer to me.
I took a step back, "No, it's not destiny" I snapped, "It's called you got your schedule changed to match mine," I said
He laughed, "Always able to see right through me" he said as he took another step close to me.
I stepped back and collided against the door, "Get out Diamond" I said
His hand reached out to touch my face, but I didn't let it get that far.
I grabbed it and twisted it, and he groaned in pain.
"I said, Get out Diamond!" I said to him as I pushed him back and opened the door.
"Ow, get off" he said as he pushed me off of his hand.
I stumbled back a little, but managed to catch myself.
"Why do you deny it so much?" he asked as he stood at the door
"There is no it," I said, "Read my lips, I will never sleep with you" I said
He glared at me, "Before you know it, you will" he said
I heard the back door open, "That's my parents, now get out" I snapped at him
He turned around and walked to the door, "Till tomorrow I guess, Odango" he said as he walked out the door, closing it softly behind him.
"Oh, Usagi, help me out here" I heard my mom call from the garage.
I walked slowly over to the garage, thinking along the way.
What was Diamond's problem?
"Go out with me, Odango" I heard someone say as I sat on the bench at the park.
I turned around and saw Diamond Torii, the popular new second year.
"My name is not Odango" I snapped
"Usagi, then, go out with me" he said, laughing
I frowned, "No thanks, maybe later" I said as I got up, "I gotta get home"
"How about Friday then?" he asked, stepping in front of me.
"Alright then," I said "I'll meet you here at 7" I said, ready to leave already. Maybe if I said yes he would leave me alone.
He beamed, "Okay, I'll see you then"
I walked away, trying to stop my eyes from rolling. Great, fun time with Diamond freaking Torii.
I arrived there at 7 and saw Diamond waiting for me.
"I brought food, I thought we might have a picnic" he said, smiling.
I nodded, "Okay, where to?" I asked
He got up and we walked down towards the trail.
We walked in silence, till we came to a beautiful pond.
I gasped, "It's beautiful"
Diamond laughed, "Not as beautiful as you" he murmured
I blushed, "Thanks"
He spread out a blanket on the grass beside the pond and I sat down next to him.
I snapped to attention as I saw my mom carrying in bags of groceries.
I hurried to help her, despite the pain running through my body.
If I didn't, my mom would have probably figured out something was wrong, "How was your first day?" she asked me
I smiled, "It was good, lots of new kids came" I said
"Good, good, can they help you with your studies?" she asked
I groaned, "Mom, don't start on that again"
"Honey, you barely made it this year, you have to start working harder, ask one of them to tutor you" she said
I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the last bag, "Sure, I will" I said
"Alright dear, Shingo and your dad'll be home in two hours or so, dinner will be ready by then" she said to me as I walked out of the kitchen.
I walked slowly back up to my room.
No use taking a bath now, all the bubbles were long gone.
I would take a shower later.
I brushed my hair and got to doing my homework.
After I was done, I decided to call Ami. She would know what to do, about the guy, not Diamond.
"Hey, Ami" I said when she picked up the phone
"Hey, Usagi" she answered
"I met someone" I said
"Usagi…this is not the time to gush about a guy, I'm doing homework" she murmured
"Ugh, Ami, why do you always act like I'm Minako" I groaned
I could hear her grin, "Sorry, Usa" she said
"Anyway, he was one of the bad guys I think" I said to her
"A monster?" she asked, snapping to attention
"No, he was normal, but strong as hell, and fast. He totally kicked my ass" I said hurriedly, slurring the last few words.
"He what?" she asked, outraged
"Yea…" I murmured
"But in our Senshi forms, we're stronger than regular men" she whispered
I gulped, "Yea, but this guy was much stronger. He said he was collecting energy for Metallia" I said
"Metallia?" she asked, confused, "I'll ask Luna when she gets home" she said
Yea, Luna had gone to live with Ami after she found out my brother wouldn't allow me to keep her.
I don't think she minded it all that much.
Poor Ami was always so alone at home; I think they both enjoyed each other's company.
"Alright, I'll talk to Luna, you should call Rei and ask her to meditate on it" she said to me
"Sure, I will" I said, "See you tomorrow" I said and hung up.
My parents called me to dinner and I hurried down to eat it.
I bickered slightly with Shingo, as per usual, but not as much as usual.
I just felt too sore.
I think they noticed, but didn't say anything.
After dinner I called Rei. She sounded worried when I said that the guy had hurt me. Telling me I should take pain relievers and take a soak in the bath.
I agreed with her, telling her I would.
She said she would meditate and tell me what she found out tomorrow.
I asked her to call the other girls and tell them what was up as well.
Usually I would have, I was just so beat.
What a fun first day of school.
After taking a quick shower, I went straight to bed.
I had a weird dream, but when I awoke I couldn't remember it.
Other than that the tuxedo man had been in it.
When I changed from school I saw that my throat was a purplish color.
Damn. I would have to put makeup on it, so it wouldn't show.
When I was done, you could still see some of it, I muttered angrily as I took my hair out of their odangoes.
I let it fall along my neck, putting some of it up so as to not have hair floating around everywhere.
Great, people would think something was wrong now.
I shrugged, Oh well, I'll just tell them I didn't have enough time to put it into my usual hairstyle.
After making sure it was covering my neck, I hurried to school.
I met Mamoru along the way and we walked to school together.
I wonder how the second day would be.
We talked of easy things, mostly school and our home lives.
But then, I heard a roar from within the park.
I said hurried my apologies to Diamond, telling him I'd be right back that I had to go to the bathroom.
I had transformed into Sailor Moon and gotten rid of the monster that was storming around the park, trying to take energy from the people hanging out there.
When I got back to Diamond, I saw him waiting patiently.
He had a big smile on his face, "You okay?" he asked
I nodded, "Yea, I'm fine" I said
He grinned at me weirdly for the next hour or so as we ate our food.
It just felt weird now.
As we got ready to go, Diamond had drawn me into his arms.
"I always knew you were special" he had murmured to me
"What are you talking about?" I asked as I removed myself from his arms.
"You know what I'm talking about" he whispered as he drew my hand to his mouth and kissed it softly.
I drew it back, "No, I don't" I said
"I can teach you so much about it all" he said as he stared into my eyes
I blinked confusedly, "What are you talking about?" I asked
"The crystal" he said to me
"Crystal?" I asked, my eyes widening
"I have a crystal too, it's so powerful, I could teach you how to use yours" he said
I furrowed my eyebrows, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about" I said as I got up and walked away.
"Usagi" he called after me
I turned around.
"I could teach you so much" he said as he drew close to me.
He pulled me toward him, and his lips touched mine.
At first I kissed him back, falling into his amazing kiss.
Then it grew hungrier, he drew me back to the picnic blanket as he lowered me down on it.
He kept kissing me, and I joined him, it felt amazing.
Then his hands started moving underneath my shirt, "Diamond, what are you doing?" I gasped
He didn't respond as he pulled me against him, his hands on the skin of my back.
"Diamond," I said as I pushed him away, "Stop"
He withdrew from my neck, where he had started kissing.
"It's okay, Odango, I'll teach you" he murmured as he went right back to kissing my neck, his hands moving along my breast.
Enjoyed the first chapter? I know it's really slow this chapter, way too much information about her classes and all, but -shrug- you never know, it might turn out to be important.
Surprised that this fic involves Diamond as well? He may just surprise you in the next few chapters.
Anyway, please review! They make my world go round!
