Daisuke Niwa
"Aw, man..."
I'm so depressed. I was going to tell Miss Harada that I liked her, but I got rejected instead. She said that we were friends and that we could only be friends...and nothing more. My alter ego, Dark, isn't making this easy on me either. He's constantly telling me that I could have gotten Miss Risa Harada to like me if I had followed his instructions. I guess I should really tell you who Dark is.
Dark is an entity born on the male side of the Niwa family. He is one half of The Black Wings, a piece of art created by the Hikari family. Police have been after him for ages before he went into a forty year slumber. Dark didn't emerge until my birthday, which was yesterday, and we haven't gotten along with each other so far. He never listens to me and takes control of me whenever he gets the chance...which brings me to another problem that has come up recently.
I haven't been able to transform into Dark. Usually, just a photo of Miss Harada helps me make the transformation since she's supposed to be my sacred maiden. However, whenever I look at her photo, I don't get that strange sensation of my heart racing anymore. It's like that I stopped liking her.
That's because you have, Daisuke. Dark replies.
"That's impossible!"
Face it, she's not our sacred maiden anymore. The new girl, on the other hand...
There's no way I could ever like someone other than Miss Harada! There's no way I could like Miss Adachi! Adachi Sakura is the new student in our class. She is kind of pretty. Her hair is a light lavender color that reaches down to her back. Her eyes are a dark violet and they are kind of wide, giving her an innocent look to her. Miss Adachi is supposed to be here in town for only a year.
And we're going to make the most of it.
"Shut up, Dark."
Adachi Sakura
This little town is very cute! I'm so glad that my parents sent me here for my education. I don't think I could ever stay inside the palace for very long. I hate being cooped up in such a place. No. They decided that I needed to interact with others my age and I love it. The Harada Twins are fun girls. Risa is rather outgoing and bubbly, whereas Riku, her twin sister, is a little more serious but athletic. You can tell that they love each other as sisters do.
Then there is Saehara, the school reporter and son of one of the inspectors of the police force. He's friendly but a little too friendly I should say. He constantly tries to flirt with me but Riku often chases him away. I'm way too nice to tell him to back off. I also met his friend, Daisuke Niwa, and he is so cute. He has spiky red hair, wide, innocent red eyes and such a friendly face. He's clumsy, but I don't care. I'm a sucker for cuties like Daisuke. I just want to squeeze the daylights out of him every time I see him stumble.
However, there is something about Daisuke that I quite can't put my finger on. I keep sensing something around him but I can't exactly nail it. It's like he has an entity attached to him and it's dark, but not necessarily malevolent. It's strange, but I might have to look into this one of these days and it's the same thing with another classmate. Satoshi Hiwatari is that classmate. From what I understand, he's the current commander of the local police department and has gone through college already. His story is impressive but I'm more interested in what's hanging around him. Its presence is rather unusual. Like Daisuke, there's something akin to an entity...except this one is definitely malevolent.
Something to investigate later on.
I didn't think I would run into something like this in such a quaint town but such as life...as a Sailor Scout. I guess I should tell you that I'm the newest Sailor Moon of my generation. My official title is Sailor Neo Moon. Everyone knows who she is and she's quite a celebrity among my peers. Anyway, my uniform, quite frankly, is a sexualized version of the Japanese school uniform. I have a white leotard with a very short, midnight blue skirt with a gray underskirt. I have elbow length gloves and navy blue high heels.
I think you all have an idea about what my uniform looks like. My main colors are gray and blue. I carry my silver crystal in a small brooch that the first Sailor Moon had. I'm wearing it now and that caused quite a stir among the girls. I'll have to be a little more careful in the future with it but I'm not going to remove it now since I've discovered two different entities here in town.
I just might need my crystal.

Hours later...
I'm sitting at my apartment, eating supper, and watching television when a news segment comes on. I usually don't watch the news since the news these days are kind of depressing, but this particular segment catches my eye. The reporter announces that the legendary phantom thief, Dark, has sent a warning letter stating that he was going to steal the statue of the Sacred Maiden tonight at midnight.
So he does exist.
As a child, my grandmother, the first Sailor Moon, often told me stories of the handsome thief and of the adventures they had together before they went their separate ways. I thought she had made up those stories, but it seems that they are true and that the existence of the Phantom Thief has come to light and after forty years.
I'm looking at the clock on the cable box and it says that it's seven o'clock. That gives me five hours to prepare myself...for tonight, Sailor Neo Moon and the Phantom Thief will meet.
