I don't own Sailor Moon or any of it's characters, I only own Mikura.
I'm finally doing this SM story that's been in my head for a while now, and I hope it turns out well on this site. I'll be using the Japanese names, terms, and anime storyline of Sailor Moon Super S just so everyone knows. I've chosen to write about the Amazon Trio, who don't get written about often enough. Don't worry, this will be a one-sided thing, you'll see what I mean later on. If there's anything someone gets confused on, you can review, PM me, or anything else, and I will do my best to clear it up. Thank you, and...
Enjoy!
The weather was cold that day. Rain had been predicted to fall that day but when four o'clock came around, people stopped dragging their umbrellas around in fear of the rain. Wind was still blowing through out the streets with a harsh, cold feel to it that reminded people of the clouds above. The clouds were still dark, warning the people below that the clouds were going to release rain, when however, was a different matter. The street lights had come on early because of the darkness and the lights the stores used during the night came on as well.
Juban seemed to be the area where the clouds hung over the most with the heaviest threat of rain. The large circus that hung in the sky around Juban made the area look darker then it truly was on clouds alone but no one around Juban seemed to pay much attention. The people were busy, running around and taking care of the business that seemed to pass them by everyday. Everything seemed normal, save for the weather, even for the girl whose life was anything but normal.
"Usagi-chan!" Ami called.
Usagi was standing near one of her school's window and watching the rain dribble down the glass window. She listened to the rain hit the roof above her as her fellow students walked by her, talking to one another about homework and home life.
"Usagi-chan!" Makoto called, repeating Ami's word. "Come on Usagi-chan!"
"Huh?" Usagi looked away from the window and back towards her friends, Ami and Makoto. "What?"
Makoto laughed and moved her right hand to her hip. "We have to get going before it rains remember? You were the one who was telling us to get ready to leave!"
Usagi laughed and scratched the back of her head. "Oh yeah I did huh? Sorry I spaced out there for a minute!"
Ami blinked. "Is something wrong Usagi-chan? You've haven't spaced out like that in a while."
"I'm fine!" Usagi said with another laugh. "Don't worry, come on let's go before it starts to rain!"
Usagi hopped down from the window sill and grabbed her umbrella that she had leaned against the wall. Once she had everything, she turned back towards Makoto and Ami, ready to go. The two other girls giggled a bit, and then they walked down the busy hallway, talking about homework that had come up the day. Usagi, on the other hand, was thinking about something else.
The villains she and the other Senshi were fighting were becoming stronger and stronger. The other night she had been attacked by one of them with her mother being the one in danger and when Usagi fired her attack towards him, the strange pink haired man blocked her attack. The attack that had gotten rid of so many yomas before could now be easily blocked by the new enemy…what was Usagi to do? Usagi had gained a new attack that night but there was still the overwhelming feeling of being out classed by the enemy.
"Usagi-chan?" Makoto asked. "Usagi-chan!"
"Oh what?" Usagi came out of her daydream and looked at Makoto. "I'm sorry Mako-chan, did you say something?"
Makoto placed her right hand on Usgai's shoulder. "Are you sure that you're alright?"
Usagi nodded. "Yes I am! Don't worry Mako-chan, everything's under control!" she lied.
The three walked down the hallways of their school, Usagi, Makoto, and Ami talking about their school life and how much homework they had to do. Everything seemed almost normal, save for Usagi who was thinking over the next fight. But as soon as the trio walked outside and began talking about their plans for the weekend Usagi loosened up and began chit chatting away with Makoto and Ami as if nothing were wrong.
After walking and chatting for a few minutes, the group of three came to an intersection where Ami stopped walking. Makoto and Usagi stopped walking as well and looked over towards Ami, wondering what she could have stopped for.
"I'm sorry but I have to make a detour today," Ami said with her usual gentle tone. "My mother has a special patient who's waiting for me at the hospital."
"Really?" Usagi asked. "I thought we had a study party over at Rei-chan's house."
"I'm sorry." Ami shook her head back and forth. "The patient is someone who's waiting on me. I have to go and check up on her today, I promised."
An idea hit Usagi. "Why don't Mako-chan and I go with you then? Is that alright with you Mako-chan? We'll visit as well!"
Makoto nodded. "Yeah. I don't have much to do tonight anyway besides the study session. Would you mind if we came with you?"
Ami thought the idea over and thought that the patient she was talking about would like the company. With a smile crossing her face, Ami nodded her head and then began walking towards the hospital where her mother worked.
"Good now we can be late for the study session," Usagi whispered with a grin crossing her face.
"What?" Makoto looked down towards the blond.
"Nothing!" Usagi laughed and moved her right hand up and down. "Come on, we've got to get to the hospital!"
Usagi walked on the sidewalk, down the same way Ami had been walking with a large smile across her face, hiding her true intentions of missing the study session. Makoto sighed and followed after her and Ami, calling their names as she did so.
As Usagi chased after Ami, she realized something. These were the moments that she would fight for. She would fight for her friends, and would fight so that other children and adults could feel the same way she did at this exact moment. Usagi would fight, no matter what it took.
"I'm so bored!" Fisheye whined as he leaned backwards.
Hawk's Eye and Fisheye were sitting at the bar they usually frequented, looking at pictures of potential targets for the dreams Pegasus could be hiding in. Fisheye wasn't having any luck finding a target he liked while Hawk's Eye was just relaxing after a recent fight with Sailor Moon, and a recent failure to capture the one with the Beautiful Dream.
"Hey," Fisheye narrowed his eyes towards Hawk's Eye, "pick someone for me! Come on it'll be fun."
"I'd rather not," Hawk's Eye answered before lifting his drink to his lips.
"Come on!" Fisheye pestered with a playful smile.
Hawk's Eye tore his drink away from his mouth in order to answer the other male when Tiger's Eye walked in with an irritated look on his face. Tiger's Eye walked over to the bar, bent over, and with both of his arms, he gathered a large bunch of pictures and brought them up to his chest.
"I'll go through all of these dammit!" Tiger's Eye hissed. "I'll find the one with the dream that holds Pegasus! The person has to be here somewhere right?"
Hawk's Eye and Fisheye looked at Tiger with a cocked eyebrow, wondering what could have brought him to such dedication. Before either one of them could ask Tiger's Eye a question, he walked out of the room with a handful of pictures. Hawk's Eye turned around to watch Tiger's Eye walk out of the room when a single picture fell from Tiger's bundle, and onto the floor.
"Hum," Fisheye brought his attention back to his drink, "I wonder what his problem is."
Hawk's Eye stood from his usual barstool and walked over to the picture that Tiger's Eye had dropped. As he bent down to pick up the picture, Fisheye turned around in his own barstool.
"What are you doing?" Fisheye asked.
Instead of answering the other man's question, Hawk's Eye picked up the picture and studied over it. The picture was that of a young girl, obviously a choice that only Tiger's Eye could choose. The young woman in the picture had thin, light brown hair that fell down to her chin, and brown eyes that hid behind a thin pair of glasses. She was wearing a plain white shirt, and dark blue skirt. The picture was taken at an awkward angle, with the female holding a brown school bag in her hands and the angle looking down at her from the sky.
"Tiger's Eye dropped this," Hawk's Eye answered.
Fisheye got off his barstool and walked over to Hawk's Eye. "What is it? Did he drop one of his pictures?"
Not getting an answer from Hawk's Eye after an impatient wait, Fisheye grew bored and stanched the picture from his hands. Fisheye looked over the picture to see that it was a young female, and sighed heavily.
"Aw I thought it was someone worth while," Fisheye said as he tossed the picture into the air. "Well you win some, you lose some."
"Hey!"
Hawk's Eye caught the picture Fisheye had thrown and tucked it into his outfit to give back to Tiger's Eye later. With a sigh Hawk's Eye walked back over to the bar and searched through the large collection of pictures there. The more he looked, the more he started to doubt his chances of finding a good target when he found an older looking woman.
Finally, Hawk's Eye's day was coming around.
"Well it looks like I've found a target," Hawk's Eye announced.
"Let me see!"
Hawk's Eye moved the picture of the elderly woman towards Fisheye but got a look of disgust back. Hawk's Eye brought the picture back to his chest and placed it into his outfit, just as he had done to the other picture, and stood.
"I'll be back." Hawk's Eye stuck his nose into the air. "And when I'm back I'll bring Pegasus with me."
"Good luck!" Fisheye said with a laugh, being sarcastic of course.
After a long walk to the hospital, Ami, Usagi, and Makoto arrived at the hospital where Ami's mother worked, and traveled up to the third floor. They walked by nurses and doctors as they walked through the well-lit, plain colored hallway that had a blue lined painted on the floor that ran down the entire hallway.
"Wow it's nice here," Usagi said as she looked around the hallway.
"This is the recovery floor," Ami said. "Most of the patients from surgery or major illnesses come here."
The trio walked past down after door until they walked passed an open door. Ami suddenly stopped and turned in. Usagi and Makoto dug their heals into the ground and looked into the room where Ami had gone.
"Suuji-san, what are you doing?" Ami asked with concern in her voice.
Usagi and Makoto moved further in to see that Ami was talking to a young woman who was slipping her shoes on. Instead of answering Ami, the young woman sat down on the hospital bed behind her and looked towards Ami with a smile on her face.
"Leaving," the young woman put simply.
The young woman had thin, light brown hair that fell down to her chin and brown eyes that behind a thin pair of glasses. Instead of wearing the usual hospital gown, she was wearing a plain white shirt, and dark blue skirt. In her right hand was a brown school bag, and in her left was a pink umbrella with a decoration of Sailor Moon covering it.
"Where are you going to go?" Ami asked as she too sat down on the bed.
"Just for a rest at home," she answered. "Just for awhile, your mother said it would be alright."
Ami sighed with relief. "I didn't want you to run off again. Oh!" Ami covered her hand to her mouth. "I'm sorry Suuji-san, I should have introduced everyone." Ami stood and walked over to Usagi and Makoto.
"This is Tsukino Usagi," Ami said as she moved her right hand towards the blond.
Usagi bowed down. "Nice to meet you."
"And this," Ami moved her right hand towards Makoto, "is Kino Makoto." Makoto bowed down as well and stood back up with her introduction.
Ami then moved towards the girl. "Guys this is Suuji Mikura, a patient of my Mother's."
Mikura lowered her head as Ami introduced her, and then brought her head back up. "Nice to meet you two. What are you here for?"
"We came to visit your neighbor," Ami answered. "After all, Setsuna-san next door just got her tonsils removed."
"Oh yes." Mikura gave a small laugh. "I heard about that. I'm sorry but I have to cut this conversation short." Mikura stood. "My Mother is expecting me back at home and I want to get home before it starts raining."
Ami walked over to the bed and began looking around. "Don't you have a sweater or jacket? You don't need to walk around in the cold in your condition."
"Uh no I don't have one," Mikura said with a hint of irritation behind her voice. "I don't need one."
"But it's going to rain," Makoto said, breaking into the conversation. "I've got a jacket if you wanna wear it."
"No," Mikura insisted. "Thank you Kino-san but I really don't need one."
Usagi moved her school bag out in front of her and began to search through it, pushing papers and junk out of the way.
"Now where is it?" Usagi whispered to herself.
"What are you looking for Usagi-chan?" Makoto asked as she leaned over towards Usagi.
"Something I made in crafts class!" Usagi pushed another large stack of undone homework out of the way and spotted a pink object at the bottom of her bag. "There it is!"
Usagi reached to the bottom of her bag and grabbed the object with her fingertips. She could feel the stitching job she had done on it, and knew that it was exactly what she had been looking for. With a strong tug, Usagi pulled the item from the bottom of her back and out into the open, spilling out all of her papers as she did so.
"Oh." Usagi blinked as the room fell silent.
Everyone looked at the mess on the floor and then back up towards Usagi. She began to feel awkward so she did the only thing she could think of doing; she laughed. Makoto began to laugh with her, and that triggered Ami's laugh. Mikura was the last to start laughing but once she did, she laughed louder then anyone else in the room.
Ami moved her head towards Mikura. "I haven't heard you laugh like that in a while."
Mikura finished her laugh with a large sigh. "Well I usually don't have visitors."
Usagi coughed and held out the pink item. "Here, use this. It isn't a jacket or sweater."
Mikura took the pink piece and moved it around until she could see that it was a shawl…a crooked shawl. Makoto covered her mouth to keep her laugh to herself but Usagi caught it and narrowed her eyes towards her.
"I did my best!" Usagi hissed playfully.
"Really?" Ami asked as she looked at the shawl with a cocked eyebrow. "It's…nice Usagi-chan."
"It is," Mikura added as she moved the shawl around, trying to figure out where her head went.
Once she found it, she slipped the shawl over her head and moved it around until it fit on her shoulders. But no matter how much Mikura moved the shawl around, the left side was drooping down more then the right. Mikura gave up on moving it, and let go of a small smile.
"Thank you Tsukino-san," Mikura said with another bow. "I'd much rather wear something like this."
"You're welcome!" Usagi smiled and leaned forward a bit. "Just get Ami-chan to give it back to me."
Mikura turned back to Ami. "I think I'd better get going now. Thank you for everything. I should be back by Monday morning alright Mizuro-san?"
Ami nodded. "I'll be waiting for you to come back for a check up."
Mikura bowed down towards everyone in the room and then stepped out, still wearing Usgai's shawl. Ami walked out of the room as well with Makoto and Usagi and began moving towards the next door, moving on with what they originally came to do.
By the time Mikura had gotten outside the rain decided to fall. Mikura brought out her umbrella and moved her arms around in the shawl, trying to warm them as she walked. When Mikura came to a busy area near the park which was across the street from her house, she stopped to look in a window of a restaurant.
Wow. Mikura thought as she looked at the food. I haven't had good food like that in a long time. Oh well…maybe later.
Rain. Hawk's Eye thought as he walked down the same busy street Mikura was on.
He hadn't taken an umbrella with him, so he had grabbed a newspaper he found sitting on a wooden bench. After all, Hawk's Eye couldn't look bad when he met his target back at the hospital. He had made sure to make his outfit simple this time around in order to blend in at the hospital; nothing but a pair of jeans, glasses, and blue jacket with a blue stripe running across it.
The smell of rich food traveled through the cold air and warmed the air for a few minutes. Hawk's Eye sniffed the air as his stomach growled; he hadn't had anything to eat for a few hours now and the smell only reminded him.
Damn. Hawk's Eye sighed heavily.
He ignored the smell of food and the now colder air and continued to walk forward. Just as Hawk's Eye began to move down the street in a crowd of people, Mikura turned away from the window she was looking at. As she turned, she slammed into Hawk's Eye and dropped her bag into the water, spilling out everything inside. Mikura grunted from the impact while Hawk's Eye stepped backwards. Once Hawk's Eye moved away from her, Mikura bent down and began to pick up all of her soaked papers.
"Why don't you—"
Hawk's Eye stopped his sentence when Mikura looked up at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence. It was her, the girl from the picture Tiger's Eye had dropped. This girl was supposed to have a Beautiful Dream that just might contain Pegasus. He had to make his move now before Tiger's Eye came around and took the chance away from him.
Hawk's Eye bent down to Mikura's level and began picking up the wet papers. She blinked but then began to pick up the papers as well until she had collected them all. Mikura moved her head back towards Hawk's Eye's level to tell him that she was sorry when he reached out and grabbed her right hand away from her body.
"I'm so sorry," Hawk's Eye said in a gentle, unnatural tone. "I should have been watching where I was going; I didn't injure you at all did I?"
"Uh, no," Mikura answered as she looked down at the puddle. "It was my fault, I'm sorry."
"Oh don't apologize!" Hawk's Eye pulled her hand up and helped her stand. "I was just worried that I might have injured you in some way."
"I'm fine," Mikura said as she took her hand away from Hawk's. "Thank you for being so considerate."
Mikura backed away from Hawk's Eye and began to step away from him when he reached out and grabbed her left wrist. She turned to the side and glared back at him before she took her hand back.
"What is it?" she growled.
He had to think of something quick. He needed some kind of sob story or something to get her to stay with him long enough for him to get a look at her Dream Mirror. Then, something came to mind.
"Please," he began, "allow me to walk you home."
A sudden slam in one of the nearby stores drowned out Hawk's Eye's offer. Mikura narrowed her eyes and moved in towards him as if she wanted him to repeat his question. Hawk's Eye opened his mouth to speak once more when a large man slammed into him.
"Watch it!" the man yelled. "Move out of the way!"
"This is a busy market!" a woman following the man yelled. "Go somewhere else!"
Hawk's Eye knew that he had to do something before he lost Mikura and his chance to get a look at her Dream Mirror. He moved his right hand back down towards Mikura's and brought their hands up to his face. With a gentle push of his head, he pressed his lips against her hand. Mikura's face flushed a bright red color while her glasses slid down the bridge of her nose.
"What are you—"
"Come with me," Hawk's Eye interrupted. "I want to go somewhere where I can talk to you…alone."
She turned her head to the right. "Fine, I know where we can go."
Hawk's Eye smiled. "Wonderful."
Her Dream Mirror was his.
Mikura led Hawk's Eye down the street and to a bench underneath a large red overhang. He thought that they were going to end up being someplace alone so that he could look at her Dream Mirror but was still in public. He twitched with irritation when Mikura sat down on the bench but his irritation faded when he saw that Mikura was breathing heavily.
"Sorry," she panted. "I can't go any further."
It's better then nothing. Hawk's Eye thought. I've got to get to this one before Tiger's Eye does even if I have to play around with this one a bit.
He sat down beside her. "Are you alright?" he asked with phony concern.
"Fine," she hissed. "Now what is it?"
Hawk's Eye moved his left arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away with a heavy blush on her face. He smiled, liking the attention he was getting, or rather not getting, from her.
"What?" she growled. "Who the hell are you?"
He moved his face beside hers. "My name," a quick name came to mind, "is Mitsuki Toshiro."
A blush crossed Mikura's face once more. "What do you want?"
"Your dr—"
A large crowd of people came rushing out of the nearby movie theater, interrupting Hawk's Eye plan of seeing her Dream Mirror. People walked by them and Mikura took the chance to stand up on her own. Hawk's Eye grabbed her wrist once more only this time with more force.
"What?" Mikura yelled. "What do you want?"
Hawk's Eye knew that he wouldn't be able to get to her Dream Mirror with so many people around now. Yet, Hawk's Eye didn't want to go back to the Amazon Bar with nothing; he had to bring something back to prove to Tiger's Eye that he could do Tiger's Eye's targets without stress.
Hawk's Eye brought her hand to his mouth once more. "Please, go on a date with me. Anywhere."
Mikura's eyes widened. She stood there, her blush growing redder and wider across her face with every minute that passed. Hawk's Eye could tell that she was going to give in soon. He smiled.
"Two nights," Mikura answered as she looked to the left. "Meet me in the park in two nights at six."
Hawk's Eye nodded. "And your name?"
"Suuji Mikura."
"Mikura-chan," Hawk's Eye said in a whisper as he moved his face in towards hers.
The pain in Mikura's wrist from Hawk's Eye's rough grab began to burn. She pulled herself away from Hawk's Eye and brought her hand to her chest where she looked down at it with a look of pain. Hawk's Eye knew that he had Mikura right where he wanted her, so he stepped away from her and smiled.
"I'll see you in two days Mikura-chan," Hawk's Eye said.
Without another word Mikura stepped away from Hawk's Eye and continued to walk down the street with the umbrella over her head and shawl around her shoulders. The rain ran off of her umbrella, and that was when Hawk's Eye realized that he had lost the newspaper he had been using for an umbrella.
It doesn't matter. He told himself. I'll get her Dream Mirror.
R&R please!
