Author Notes: Ok, Angelic here. I'm back from Iraq and now Ultimus is MIA. He's lost his internet connection until about July. So I'm in charge of posting the stories. We've several chapters written so far so I'll post them while we are writing new ones using Snail-mail. I am re-doing the order of the posts. Ultimus didn't have chapter one of this story and I did on my computer that didn't go to Iraq with me. So this is the missing chapter and the old one is now the second chapter.
(Outer Manor: one week after Shizuo's arrival to Earth)
Life at the manor had adapted to Shizuo's arrival. He had registered at the same high school as Haruko and Michiyo and had started classes without too much trouble. But, Haruko, Michiyo or Kimi had to be with him because he still got lost in the halls and on his way to classes. Shizuo was also unaware that Kimi was not only Haruko's best friend but her lover. But they had decided to explain to him when the time came with all the changes that he was undergoing. He probably wouldn't understand the social implications for two girls to be lovers.
"Ruko! Hurry up! We're going to be late!" hollered an annoyed Michiyo, though she should be used to it, but the fact of having to wait for Haruko in the morning still urked her.
"Why is Haruko-kun taking so long in bathroom?" Shizuo asked. Even though he could speak Japanese fluently, Shizuo still had trouble with the proper usage of words because he wasn't used to speaking it full time.
"Ruko thinks she's Kami-sama's gift to women. We won't be able to get away with being late today." Michiyo remarked. They had been late yesterday and used the excuse of Shizuo's newness to everything to get away with being tardy. But Michiyo was pretty certain that the assistant principal wouldn't buy it this time.
"Haruko-kun thinks she's what?" Shizuo asked.
"Don't worry about it Shi." Michiyo said remembering that Shizuo didn't get sarcasm yet. Haruko appeared on top of the staircase in her school shirt and her pajama bottoms that had little racecars all over them. She held her tie in her hand.
"I can't find my belt!" She said.
"Gods Ruko, you're as bad as dad! Shi, wait here, I have to go dress Haruko." Michiyo set her books on the bottom stair and took off up the stairs.
"You don't need to dress me! I can put my clothes on and take them off by myself!" Haruko protested as Michiyo grabbed her shoulder and guided her back towards their room. Shizuo stood at the foot of the stairs and waited as he was told.
"So, Shizuo how is school?" asked a familiar voice in Plutonian. Shizuo spun around to see his mother still in her robe. Setsuna smiled at Shizuo and touched his face.
"Difficult" he responded in a deep accent as he spoke his native language.
"How so? Are the classes difficult?" Setsuna asked now stroking his hair. Setsuna didn't get to dote much on Shizuo when he was younger so she took every opportunity she could now.
"The classes are fine. It just I have a really hard time communicating with people. Haruko-kun has to translate for me what some of the teachers say. I feel like a fool!" Shizuo said not trying to hide the frustration in his voice.
"Don't be so hard on yourself Shi, you learned Japanese on the homeworld. You'll be ok as you use it more." Setsuna said still smiling at Shizuo. "And Haruko and Michiyo are good friends for you to have. They will help you without question." She finished looking up the staircase at Haruko who was now dressed and Michiyo behind her.
"Don't you think you guys should get going?" Setsuna asked switching back to Japanese.
"Yes, Setsuna-mama" both replied.
Setsuna adjusted Shizuo's bangs and then walked past him and up the stairs passing the girls but not before whispering into Haruko's ear in Uranian. "You've been really helpful to Shi, he is very grateful to have you as a friend." She said walking past Haruko and up the stairs to her room.
"What did she say?" Michiyo asked. Haruka had taught both her girls Uranian but Michiyo still had troubles with it. She seemed to focus more on her Neptunian lessons then her Uranian lessons. Haruko on the other hand seemed to be a natural linguist when it came to spoken language, written form was a whole another story.
"I'll tell you later, we have to hurry if we're going to make the train." Haruko said. She had been driving Michiyo and herself to school until she decided to challenge another driver and tried to race him. She nearly flipped the car and killed the transmission. She got yelled at by her mother and banned from the garage until further notice by her father. The latter was the worse punishment by far. Because she would drop off Michiyo at the train station and go pick up Kimi. Most of the time she would get some luck in rearranging Kimi's uniform before going to school.
"Now you want to hurry! What's wrong Ruko, jonesing because you haven't had your morning dose of Mercurian delight?" Asked Michiyo with a chiding tone.
"Shut up Chiyo! Or I'll tell someone you have the hots for them." Haruko spat back.
"I do not have the hots for him!" Michiyo snapped.
"Oh? So you do know who I'm talking about. I knew it!" Haruko said smirking.
"Ruko, we're going to be late." Michiyo said grabbing Haruko's arm and dragging her down the stairs. Shizuo followed behind them out the door.
"You've got quite a grip when you're pissed Chiyo." Haruko said. Michiyo said nothing and let Haruko go as they walked down the street to the train station.
(Train station)
They arrived at the station and looked at the clock which said they were already late by five minutes.
"Shimatta! This is your entire fault Haruko!" Michiyo said. Haruko didn't hear her and was already on her way over to a blue haired girl who wore the same uniform as Michiyo.
"Ohayo, love" Haruko said embracing the girl from behind and kissing her neck.
"Ohayo, Ru" Kimi said turning around and smiled at Haruko. Haruko leaned Kimi on the nearby post and slid her hand under her skirt placing her hand on Kimi's bottom as she kissed her.
"Perverts." Michiyo muttered to herself and Shizuo stood beside her but was looking at an advertisement for a computer on the wall and paying no attention to Haruko's petting exercise.
"Ohayo, Tenoh-san, Meioh-kun." Said Iyona as she walked up to them with Meiya behind her. Shizuo didn't notice them and Michiyo blushed at the mention of Meiya's name.
"Ohayo, Iyona-san" Michiyo said trying not to look at Meiya.
"Where is Ruko?" Iyona asked to which Michiyo pointed at the wall where two people were making out.
"Oh, forget I asked." Iyona chucked and then turned her attention towards Shizuo.
"I said Ohayo Meioh-kun!" Iyona said feigning annoyance. Shizuo's head snapped over and looked at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry Iyona-san. That advertisement looks to be very … what is the word?" Shizuo said trying to remember his Japanese.
"Interesting?" Iyona asked and then giggled when Shizuo blushed. She thought his accent and poor Japanese were cute. Truth was she had taken and interest in Shizuo the first day he came to school. She asked Haruko about him to which Haruko laughed and said "He is not ready for you. Give me a few months with him and he'll be ready to rock your world." Iyona had known Haruko for a long time and when Kaiou Haruko said she could get something ready, Iyona knew she could deliver.
"Yes, Interesting." Shizuo said looking at Iyona right in the eyes. Shizuo had this feeling that something was up with Iyona and blushed as she looked at him. He liked her but didn't know how to act upon it.
"Iyona-san, this rain is playing hell with my hair!" Protested Meiya.
"Suck it up Meiya! I really don't want to hear about your hair again this morning!" Iyona said.
"Awww, you didn't have to be mean about it." Meiya said pouting. He didn't notice that Michiyo was looking right at him with a smile on her face.
"Getting an eyeful eh Chiyo?" Haruko asked walking over with Kimi who was straightening her collar.
"I was doing nothing of the sort!" Michiyo said looking away.
"What?" Meiya asked unaware of the entire statement.
"Nothing Meiya" Haruko responded.
"Oh … Ohayo, Ruko" Meiya said.
"Ohayo Meiya" Haruko said.
"You don't change much at all Ruko." Iyona said.
"What am I supposed to do? Dad took the car from me and Kimi …" Haruko got cut off by Kimi's elbow to her stomach and then Kimi cleared her throat.
"Same old Ruko." Iyona said turning to board the train. They all got on and found their seats.
Haruko and Kimi sat in the corner holding hands and kissing each other every so often. Michiyo sat and Meiya stood in front of her. Michiyo caught herself looking at Meiya and then snapping her head in the other direction which happened to be where Haruko was sitting. Haruko would give Michiyo thumbs up and Michiyo would just glare back at her.
Shizuo sat next to Iyona who rested her head on his shoulder. Shizuo was either two wrapped up in what he was doing on his palm pilot phone or he was aware of Iyona and letting her continue. Haruko figured he acted like he was busy so he wouldn't have to correct Iyona and her theory was proven when she made eye contact with him and he looked back to his screen and blushed.
The train stopped and they all got off destined for the high school.
(High School)
The group had arrived about 10 mins late and all caught and earful from the assistant principal. Shizuo looked confused at what the administrator was saying so he asked Haruko to translate for him. What Haruko really did was insult the educator in Plutonian which caused Shizuo to almost burst out laughing. After he was done they we're all let off the hook because Haruko made a point to state Shizuo's maternity which made the sensei's face drain of color.
The day had gone by without incident and towards the end Shizuo noticed a girl standing next to a bank of lockers.
"Haruko-kun, who is that?" He asked pointing at the raven haired girl.
"That whould by Reiko, AKA Princess chibi-mune Mars." Haruko said not tiring to hide her disgust.
"Princess, you mean she's a Senshi like us?" Shizuo asked
"Yes, sadly." Haruko said turning her attention to fighting her books back into her locker. She didn't notice Shizuo approach Reiko.
"Hello." Shizuo said. Reiko turned from her locker to look at who spoke to her. She saw the taller boy looking at her and thought he might be interested in her. He wasn't bad looking either.
"Hello?" She asked letting a small smile across her face.
"Forgive me for disturbing you." Shizuo said bowing. He has manners too? This is too good to be true. Reiko though.
"It's alright; I don't mind being bothered when someone uses their manners. May I ask who you are?" she asked flirting a little.
"I am Meioh Shizuo." Shizuo said.
Meioh? Where have I heard that name before? Reiko thought.
"It's nice to meet you Princess." Shizuo said kissing Reiko's hand.
"How do you know I'm a princess?" Reiko asked cautiously.
"You're a Senshi like us right?" Shizuo asked confused.
"Like who? Who are you talking about?" Reiko asked her flirt now gone and her face serious.
"Like …" Shizuo didn't get to finish.
"Shi, you should at least hit me on the shoulder before you walk off like that." Haruko said walking up to them.
"Haruko! What are you doing here?" Reiko asked no longer amused.
"I could ask you the same thing chibi-mune." Haruko said as she watched Reiko's face get red. She knew that name really grated on her.
"What's going on?" Kimi asked walking up seeing the three of them.
"That's what I'd like to know?!" Reiko said.
"Shi walked out on me, I came over her to get him." Haruko said.
"Get him? What are you talking about?" Reiko asked still being confused.
"Ruko is looking after Shi." Kimi said getting into her locker which was right between Reiko's and Iyona's.
"Looking after?" Reiko never got to finished.
"Don't act like such an idiot Reiko. Shizuo just came to the earth and needs some help learning things." Iyona said walking up with Michiyo.
"Came to earth? From where" Reiko queried.
"Reiko, Shi is from Pluto, he is the crowned prince and the future Senshi of Time." Michiyo said annoyed with Reiko's question.
Pluto … that mean's he's a ... it all makes sense now. Reiko thought. "Another outer?! Good grief! Well that explains why he can't say a sentence properly." Reiko said now truing her attention on breaking down the new scout.
"Reiko, that's not fair. Shi's been on Pluto for most of his life." Kimi said. Haruko walked over to Kimi and wrapped her hands around Kimi' waist.
"Do you have to cavort everywhere you go?" Reiko said annoyed.
"Cavort? What is this word?" Shizuo asked.
"See! He's as dumb as the rock he was on!" Reiko shot off. Michiyo could see Shizuo's cheeks turning red. She would have gotten mad too if someone had insulted her planet.
"Shi, don't listen to Reiko. She's just mad because she doesn't have anyone." Haruko said smirking at Reiko.
"And that makes what you two do right?" Reiko asked.
"What is she talking about Haruko-kun.?" Shizuo asked. Haruko figured this was a best chance she was gonna get.
"Shi, Kimi is my girlfriend. We love each other very much." Haruko said kissing Kimi on the forehead.
"But, Haruko-kun, aren't you a girl?" Shizuo asked.
"Maybe not as dumb as I thought but still fucking dumb!" Reiko said. Shizuo looked at her with contempt knowing now he was being insulted not only for his planet but for his intelligence.
"Shi-kun, that doesn't matter, when two people love each other, it doesn't matter if they are both boys or both girls. Even though some people think it is. It isn't" Kimi said.
"Maybe he's gay too!" Reiko kept with her verbal bombardments.
"Gay? What's that?" Shizuo asked not making the connection.
"Well technically, it means happy." Kimi said avoiding the meaning that Reiko was after.
"Yes, I am gay." Shizuo said. "I'm quite happy here."
"Not what she was looking for, Meioh-kun." Iyona said.
"I knew he was a faggot!" Reiko said. She didn't even see Haruko ball up her fist and was getting ready to smack the Senshi of Fire silly. Kimi held her back.
"No, Ru, don't" She said. Shizuo had obviously had his fill of all of this and put his hand out. Started barking in rapid fire Plutonian and then started to walk off. Iyona grabbed his arm and held him back.
"You don't have to go Meioh-kun." Iyona said eyeing Reiko.
"What did he say to me?!" Reiko asked.
"I'm not completely sure on his dialect. Ruko whould know." Michiyo said knowing full well what Shizuo said but decided to let Haruko go in for the kill.
Haruko repeated it in Mecurian knowing that Reiko's grasp of the language was minimal. What she said caused Kimi to gasp and cover her mouth. Iyona understood too.
"Wow, you must have really made him mad Reiko." Iyona said clinging onto Shizuo's arm. She told him that it made her feel better if he let her.
"What did he say Haruko!?!" Reiko barked loosing patience.
"No, Ru, let's go" Kimi said grabbing Haruko's hand and pulling her along.
"Haruko!" Reiko yelled at them. Haruko decided maybe she needed to know.
"He said …" she paused speaking the phrase in Plutonian. "Which means: May you drown in your own menstrual secretions after many men have put there seed in you."
"Wait, that sounds more like a curse. Aren't those bad." Michiyo said.
"They are, but he's only done half. He needs to make a potion yet." Haruko said.
"Haruko-kun, does Lady Neptune grow Mandrake root?" Shizuo asked.
"Yeah, I think mom has some." Haruko responded.
"Ruko! He needs that for the potion!" Michiyo said.
"He doesn't need to make it. I'm sure Setsuna-mama will take care of things." Haruko said.
"You mean … Lady Pluto?" Reiko asked going white.
"Yup, Lady Pluto is Shi's mom. I think she'll find it interesting that not only you insulted her homeworld but her son too. She's very protective of Shizuo." Haruko said.
"Please! You can't tell her! She'll put me on the astral plane or something!" Reiko said crashing to her knees in front if Shizuo. He raised his hand to remove the curse and Haruko grabbed his hand.
"Let's have some fun first." She said in Plutonian.
"Ok, let's see where this goes." Shizuo responded back curious to what Haruko had planned.
"Please! Ruko! Chiyo! I'll do anything." Reiko pleaded.
"Well if you'll do anything then, give Shi your underwear." Haruko said grinning.
"What?" Reiko asked as if she didn't hear it correctly.
"You heard me, bra and panties. Right now." Haruko pulled the mobile from Kimi's pocket and got ready to dial.
"Ok! But I don't wear a bra." Reiko said but Haruko was already aware of this.
"Why does that not surprise me? Ok, the pantsu then." She asked. Reiko set her books on the floor front of her locker and went behind the locker bank and slid her panties off and walked back over to Haruko and handed them to Shizuo.
"Teddy bears?" Haruko asked. Reiko just stood there and said nothing. Haruko decided that she wanted to get Reiko back again some other day. She called a big gust of wind which sent Reiko's skirt up to her face. "Freeze her! Hurry! Quickly!" she said to Shizuo in Plutonian who put his hand out and froze Reiko in time.
"That's just gross, I feel sorry for the first guy that likes her who sees that." Kimi said looking away from Reiko's lower half.
"Iyona, you have your digicam?" Haruko asked. Iyona nodded and handed it to her. She took many pictures of Reiko and then took the memory stick out and tucked it away in her shirt pocket. She gave the camera back to Iyona.
"Will she remember being frozen?" Michiyo asked.
"No, she will not know difference." Shizuo said.
"Ok, unfreeze her." Haruko said. Shizuo twirled his wrist guiding Reiko's skirt down before unfreezing her.
"Haruko, how could you!?" Reiko asked.
"So what if I did? Nobody saw your furry little critter." Haruko remarked.
"Shameless as always." Iyona said still hanging on Shizuo.
"Anyway, your debt is settled." Haruko said letting Shizuo remove the curse and then handed Reiko her pantsu.
"Why are you giving them back?" She asked.
"You need them more then he does. Believe me." Haruko said. Reiko grabbed them and grabbed her books and started walking away towards the bathroom. Haruko called another gust of wind and blew Reiko's skirt up again but she was behind the corner so they didn't see anything.
"How could you do that Ruko?" Michiyo asked.
"She was flirting with Meiya, this could stop her." Haruko said patting her pocket.
"I do not like him! Anyway. Make sure that you and Shizuo get to the parking lot on time after school. Dad is going to pick us up so we can show Shizuo the way home." Michiyo said walking away.
"Well, I got history to get to, I'll see you later Mei-oh-kun." Iyona said letting go of Shizuo and walking off.
"I think she likes me no?" Shizuo asked.
"You're not ready for her yet. Anyway, what's your next class?" Haruko asked.
Shizuo dug around in his books and found his schedule. "Advanced Calculus." Shizuo said.
"I'll take him Ru, that's the class I am the student teacher in." Kimi said as she started walking towards the math wing and Shizuo followed her. Haruko walked towards the gym.
"Where are you going?" Kimi asked.
"To the gym. I don't feel like science." Haruko said.
"Kaiou Haruko, if you don't go to science you'll be getting no 'experiment' time later." Kimi said sternly. Haruko let out a sigh and went off towards the science wing with her book under her arm. Shizuo and Kimi headed to their class.
