Prologue- The Recruits
Setsuna smiled to herself. It seemed that there were seven recurring names in the sports section of the paper. Mizuno Ami, Kino Makoto, Tsukino Usagi, Hino Rei, Aino Minako, Tenoh Haruka, and Kaioh Michiru. The prides of Japan, her friends, reborn after all this time. Her smile became determined as she decided that she would bring them together, even if it wasn't for battle.
"Ms. Meioh, I understand that you are a somewhat eccentric billionaire, but isn't this a bit much? I mean, these kids are famous!" Setsuna grinned at the man in front of her. "No sir, I think it would be good for them, most of them are just barely adults. Having this sort of fame thrust upon them so young will take its toll eventually. Just think of it as a mini vacation."
Motoki Furuhata shook his head as he contemplated the woman in front of him. The idea she was suggesting was preposterous. Or was it? These people were awfully young, just out of high school really, and they didn't associate with anyone much. This may be good for them. "Alright, I approve. You can use the house. But I don't know how you plan to get them here though. Tsukino, Tenoh, and Kaioh are solo, but the rest play for teams."
Setsuna gave the man a mysterious grin. "Thanks for your concern, but you don't need to worry. I have my ways. I just need their locations."
Motoki shook his head, but told her to get out a pen and pad. "Are you ready? Tsukino is in France, Mizuno is in England, Hino is in Illinois, Kino is in Georgia, and Aino, Tenoh, and Kaioh are right here in Tokyo. Good luck."
As Setsuna walked out, people might have noticed that she seemed to have a spring in her step, and a permanently happy smile on her face. 'My friends, we will soon be reunited.
A/N: Does it sound good? I hope so. I need feedback though. Who do you think is playing what sport? Will there be any pairings? (Not sure. But if they are, it won't be the traditional ones!) And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Hotaru. Later!
