Here is the next part to my Sailor Sun series. Not all of the stories are going to have action in them. I want to try and stick to the first season's story as much as possible but I don't want to write the battles since they aren't mine. There will be some stories where the episode will be written with Aya included. There will be some action but also scenes of Aya doing things with the other Senshi. At the end of this part there will be some working around Rei first dating Mamoru but I won't be including the battle since it isn't mine.

Sailor Sun: First Season of Sailor Moon

Part Two: Tuxedo Kamen

By

Angel Raye

Aya arrived at the Hikawa Shrine a few minutes early for her Senshi meeting. It had been a week since Aya found out that she was Sailor Sun, a fighter for justice. So far it had been the happiest week of her life. Usagi, although an irresponsible crybaby, was very friendly and had made Aya feel like she was someone special. Ami was very smart and very kind. She helped Aya out with her math, which was her weak subject. Rei was hot-tempered but also very kind. Aya considered herself lucky to have found these friends.

She climbed to the top of the steps and saw that Ami and Luna had already arrived. Rei was dressed in her Shinto robes. {"So cool,"} Aya thought when she saw her. In her opinion Rei was the prettiest girl she had ever seen. "Konnichiwa," Aya called out.

"Konnichiwa Aya-chan," Ami and Rei replied together.

"Gomen for being early," Aya told them as she sat down next to Ami. She smoothed out her green dress. The weather was warming up and she was able to wear the cotton dresses she loved so much.

"You don't need to apologize for that," Rei assured her. "You and the others are welcome here anytime."

"Arigato," Aya stated feeling her heart lift.

"Now all we have to do is wait for Usagi-chan," Luna sighed.

"That slow turtle," Rei grumbled as she sat down. "I bet she had detention again."

"Actually she didn't," Ami replied. "She walked home with us." Aya nodded her head in agreement.

"Then that lazy klutz probably fell asleep," Rei concluded. Luna sighed as a sweat drop appeared on her head.

"Here I am," Usagi called loudly as she arrived, running up the steps.

"You're late," Rei snapped. "Can't you for once be on time?"

"I kind of fell asleep," Usagi replied with an embarrassed laugh.

"So what else is new," Rei grumbled. She looked at Luna, "It must be a mistake that she is our leader."

"Rei-chan is being mean again," Usagi wailed as she began to cry.

"That's enough," Ami cried. "I've got a lot of studying to do and I don't have time for this. Let's get this meeting started." Usagi immediately stopped crying. It amused Aya at how Usagi was able to turn the tears on and off so quickly.

"Right," Luna agreed and she began. "As we know the last battle Sailor Moon fought alone."

"I didn't fight alone," Usagi cried. "I had Tuxedo Kamen's help. The two of us managed to beat that tennis youma."

"Who is this Tuxedo Kamen," Aya asked in a puzzled voice. "You've mentioned him before."

"A totally gorgeous man who always helps us in battle and is in love with me," Usagi sighed as her eyes turned to hearts.

"Why would anyone be in love with you," Rei asked scornfully.

"How could you say that," Usagi asked as tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Don't start fighting again," Aya groaned. Although she had only known them for a week Usagi and Rei's arguments did try her patience sometimes. "It's my turn to make dinner tonight for Onee-san and myself."

"That's right," Luna agreed. She turned to Aya. "Tuxedo Kamen always comes to help us but he is very mysterious and we really aren't sure he is on our side."

"Of course he is," Usagi cried out defensively. "Why would he help us if he wasn't."

"Well where was he when the rest of us showed up to fight the other day," asked Aya curiously. She and the others along with Luna had shown up to help Sailor Moon but the youma had already been defeated. Even Sailor Mars had admitted that Sailor Moon had done okay without them.

"He had already left," Usagi sighed.

"That's what he does," Rei added. "But he is good looking."

"And he's mine," Usagi immediately told her.

"Now why would he want a silly crybaby like you when he could have me," Rei asked.

"Stop it now," Luna shouted and Rei and Usagi immediately stopped. Once everyone was quiet again Luna tried to continue the meeting. "We may have defeated Jadeite but the Dark Kingdom has other generals. Now we have to fight Nephrite. He does things a little differently. Ami-chan what can you tell us?"

"Nephrite uses a single person's energy instead of a large group," Ami replied. "That's all I have been able to do so far."

"The important thing is to look out for Nephrite and try to catch him before he uses people," Luna told them. "We also must continue searching for the Moon Princess."

"Where will we find her," Rei asked. "And how will we know it's her?"

"We'll know," Luna assured them.

Once the meeting was over Ami stood up. "I have to get back to studying," she told them. "Would you like to come with me on Sunday? There's this beautiful park I wish to show you." The others agreed.

Aya hung back after Usagi, Ami and Luna left. She turned to Rei, "What is it about you and Usagi," she asked. "Why are you two always fighting?"

"She irritates me," Rei replied. "Don't tell me she doesn't get on your nerves too?"

"I admit she's lazy, a crybaby and irresponsible," Aya stated. "But I never had any friends until I met Usagi."

"Neither did I," Rei admitted after a moment's pause. "She does have a large heart. I just don't have any patience with her. She needs to toughen up if she is going to be our leader. We have to drum that into her head even if we can't get anything else in there."

Aya chuckled. "I'm sure in time that she will take her duties seriously," she informed Rei. "But as long as the rest of us do then we should triumph."

"Hai," Rei agreed.

"Well I have got to get home and start cooking dinner," Aya sighed as she got up. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you then," Rei said. As Aya walked down the steps Rei called to her, "Aya-chan." Aya turned around. "I am glad you are on the team."

"Arigato," Aya replied with a smile. She left thinking, {"Rei cares more for Usagi then she will ever admit."}



Nephrite was in the old church again seeking guidance from the stars for his next target. His last couple of attempts failed miserably thanks to those interfering Senshi. Queen Beryl was furious; especially when she got word that a fourth Senshi had joined the team. "I must seek the stars for a new target," he muttered.

Suddenly there was a sneering laugh behind him. Nephrite turned and saw that it was Zoicite. "Queen Beryl-sama is furious with you," he sneered. "You wait. Your downfall will come."

"Leave me Zoicite," Nephrite ordered. "Let me do my job. Isn't it your job to find the silver crystal?"

"Oh I will find it," Zoicite laughed. "And then I will be in Queen Beryl-sama's favor."

Nephrite decided to ignore Zoicite. He turned back to the stars and chanted. Soon an image formed. A young man appeared. "Now that looks a promising target," Zoicite stated.

Nephrite stared hard at the image. "Akaike Hiroya, your energy is mine."

Akaike Hiroya gave a sigh. He was an author and all of his works had been on the bestseller list. He had a deadline in a week and he just couldn't put this new novel together. "I'm doomed," he muttered slamming his laptop closed. "I'll never get this novel done."

"Is there anything I can do to help," a voice behind him asked. Hiroya looked up and saw a man standing behind him.

"Who are you," he asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself," the man replied. "My name is Sanjouin Masato. I happen to be a writer myself."

"I see," muttered Hiroya. "I suppose you have never been in a slump."

"All of us get into slumps from time to time," Nephrite replied. He picked up the laptop. You just have to let your fingers flow with the keys." The laptop glowed briefly as the symbol appeared. Then as quickly as it appeared the symbol vanished. Nephrite handed the laptop back to Hiroya. "I think you may find some inspiration." With that he walked away, an evil look on his face. {"Soon his energy will be at its peak and he will be mine."}

Hiroya stared at the back of the man has he walked away. Then he turned back to the laptop. Suddenly a strange sensation came over him. He began to type.

The next day Aya walked home from school with Ami, Usagi and her friend Naru. Although Naru wasn't part of the Senshi she was very nice. She immediately welcomed Aya to the school. "I can't believe this," Usagi wailed as she looked at her English test, which had a twenty written on this. "Mama is going to kill me."

"Usagi-chan you should have studied," Ami gently reminded her. As usual she got the top marks.

"Don't feel so down Usagi," Naru added. "You can bring it up with the next test."

"I hate studying," Usagi cried. She turned to Aya. "What did you get Aya-chan?"

"An eighty-five," Aya replied with a little blush on her cheeks. She didn't want to show up her friend.

"Everyone passed but me," Usagi sighed as she balled up the test and tossed it aside.

"Watch it Odango Atama," said a voice behind them. The girls turned and Aya saw a dark haired young man with blue eyes standing there.

"You again," Usagi growled. She snatched the test from him. "Why do you always have to show up?"

"I could ask the same of you," the man replied. He saw Aya. "And where are your manners? You don't even introduce me to your friend." He nodded to Aya. "Chiba Mamoru."

"Nikkono Aya," Aya replied bowing politely.

"Watch out with Odango Atama here," Mamoru told her. "She can be dangerous."

"Oh get lost," Usagi shouted angrily. Mamoru grinned at the girls and walked away.

"Usagi-chan that was rude," Ami scolded.

"Well he is always rude to me," Usagi pointed out.

"He's good looking though," Aya murmured.

"Forget him Aya-chan," Usagi cried. "You can do much better then him."

"I'm not interested in him," Aya replied. "I was just commenting on how nice looking he is." She looked at her watch. "I've got to go. Onee-san is working the night shift at the hospital and I promised I'd fix her some dinner and eat with her."

"Meet at the temple tomorrow," Ami reminded her as Aya sprinted off.

"Hai," Aya called back as she headed towards home.

Hiroya couldn't believe it. Just yesterday he was having writer's block. Now the ideas just kept coming. He continued to type furiously, hunched over the computer. He hadn't done anything but work on his novel since yesterday. He didn't even sleep last night but stayed up all night working.

"Hiroya," his wife Kioko came into the room. "You've been typing away since yesterday. You must be writing a really good story."

"I am," Hiroya replied without looking up. "The ideas just keep flowing."

"That's wonderful but shouldn't you take a break," Kioko asked. "You haven't had anything to eat nor have you slept since yesterday."

"No," Hiroya told her shortly. "I can't stop now."

"But you must," pleaded Kioko.

"No," Hiroya roared fiercely. Kioko gave a gasp and then stood in shock. "I am going to stay here until I finish." He continued working; Kioko stared for a moment and then quietly withdrew from the room, concerned about her husband.

Aya walked home from the hospital. She and Mari enjoyed the dinner that she had made and now Aya had to get home. Mari wouldn't be getting home until about midnight and Aya hoped to be asleep by then. It was a warm night and she was glad that she didn't have to wear a jacket.

A movement caught her eye and Aya saw Luna sneaking around. "Luna," she called.

"Aya-chan," Luna exclaimed as she turned around. "What are you up too?"

"I'm on my home from the hospital," Aya explained. "I was having dinner with Onee-san. What are you doing?"

Luna sighed and sat down. "I am out looking for the princess. Usagi-chan could care less about her responsibilities. I left her gossiping on the phone with Naru."

"Give her time Luna," Aya advised. "She like the rest of us have had to make major changes in her life. I'm sure she must be overwhelmed."

"I believe in her," Luna told her. "But I just wish..." She broke off her speech and stood up, looking around.

"Nani," Aya questioned.

"Something's not right," Luna replied and she took off. Aya sprinted after her.

"I'm finished," Hiroya roared triumphantly as he typed his last word. He stood up and began to glow.

"Energy level at its peak," Nephrite stated. "Come out my youma." And the youma came out of Hiroya. Kioko came in to see what the noise was about and gave a loud scream. The youma roared and jumped out the window. Aya and Luna came running up just in time to see the youma jump down in front of them.

"Transform now," Luna ordered. "I'll go and get the others!"

"Hai," Aya yelled whipping out her henshin wand. She held it up. "SUN POWER MAKE UP!" The rays gleamed out of her wand melting her clothes into her Senshi uniform. Sailor Sun jumped in front of the youma. "Hold it right there," she shouted. The youma turned and looked at her. "I was enjoying a quiet walk home when you showed up. I'm an agent of love and justice Sailor Sun. In the name of the run I will radiate you."

"I'm inspired," the youma shouted and held up his hand. An oversized pen appeared. Ink flew out of it. Sun leapt out of the way. She held up her sun rod and prepared to attack. Unfortunately while she was doing that the youma was able to power up his attack. Ink flew out of the oversized pen and hit Sun. She found herself unable to move.

"Nani," she gasped as the ink began to cover her. She tried to get up but the mysterious ink paralyzed her.

"I'm inspired," the youma shouted again.

"Hold it," called a new voice. Sun looked up and to her relief saw Sailor Moon. "An author writes good books for people to read. I will not forgive you for using him for your evil purpose. I am an agent of love and justice, a pretty soldier in a sailor suit, Sailor Moon. In the name of the moon I will punish you."

"Sailor Moon," Sun shouted in relief.

"Leave it to me," Moon called.

"Can we do that," Luna muttered. Mercury and Mars were both on their way but there was no telling when they would get there.

"I'm inspired," the youma said as he held up the pen again.

"Sailor Moon look out," Sun shouted but it was too late. The ink flew out and hit Moon. She screamed as the ink immobilized her.

"Nani," Moon wailed as she looked in disgust at the ink. The youma laughed and held up his hand. This time an oversized stapler appeared. "No way," gasped Moon. The stapler clicked and a huge staple headed right towards Moon who began to scream in terror.

There was a quick flash of movement and the attack was stopped short. Sun saw a rose had broken the staple in half. The ink also disappeared off of her and Moon.

"What in the world," Sun gasped. She looked up and saw a man in a tuxedo standing on a wall.

"Many writers write inspiring works to entertain young minds," he said. "They do not attack pretty maidens."

"Tuxedo Kamen," Moon cried out as her eyes turned to hearts.

"So that is Tuxedo Kamen," Sun murmured.

"BUBBLE SPRAY!"

"FIRE SOUL!"

The two attacks flew out and hit the youma. Mercury and Mars both appeared. Sun saw this as her opportunity. She powered up as well. "SOLAR FLARES!" Her attack flew out and the youma screamed in pain. But that last attack badly weakened him.

"Now Sailor Moon," Tuxedo Mask shouted.

"Hai," Moon cried out. She reached for her tiara. "MOON TIARA ACTION!" Her tiara flew out and hit the youma. He screamed in rage and disintegrated.

"Blast those Sailor Senshi," Nephrite raged from the trees. "I'll get them yet." With that he disappeared.

"Arigato Tuxedo Kamen," Moon called out joyfully.

"Keep at it girls," Tuxedo Kamen replied and disappeared.

"Isn't he just too dreamy," Moon sighed to Sun.

"I can see why you like him," Sun admitted.

"But why he would want a clumsy crybaby like Sailor Moon I will never know," Mars commented.

"Mars," Moon raged and another argument started. Sun and Mercury looked at each other and sighed.

That Sunday after a visit to the park Ami took then too the girls went to the arcade. After another argument with Chiba Mamoru Usagi immediately went to the Sailor V game and began playing with Ami watching. Rei sat down and talked with Motoki. Since Aya wasn't into video games she just wandered around to pass the time until the others were ready to go. She had been busy thinking about the previous battle. Like Luna she wondered about Tuxedo Kamen. Was he a friend or foe? There was no point in discussing this with Usagi since she was obviously head over heels in love with him. Rei, although more discreet, also had a crush on him as well. Aya hoped to get with Ami and discuss it with her.

A crash suddenly jolted her out of her thoughts. Aya turned around and saw Rei lying on the floor, clutching her head in pain. "Rei-chan," Aya cried in alarm dashing over to her. "Are you all right? What happened? "

"We were talking about Mamoru and the stool slipped from under her and she went down," Motoki explained as Aya helped Rei to her feet.

"Are you all right," Aya asked again.

"Hai," Rei grunted. "I guess Usagi's klutziness is rubbing off on me."

"What did you say," Usagi growled as she and Ami came over. Aya groaned as another argument ensued.

Aya got her chance to talk to Ami and Luna about Tuxedo Kamen the next day. She went back to the park and found the two of them there. Ami was concerned about the park caretaker. He was apparently exhibiting oddly hostile behavior. They had also observed the animals acting strange as well. In ended up at Nephrite had taken control of the caretaker for his energy. After the Senshi battled the youma with Tuxedo Kamen's help again it was discovered that Rei had managed to get herself a date with Mamoru while Usagi used Umino to date her so that she could spy on Rei. Ami, Aya and Luna decided to leave them to discuss the Aya's concerns.

"So what are you concerned about Aya-chan," Ami asked.

"Tuxedo Kamen," Aya replied. "I know he has helped us but is that really his intent?"

"We're not certain," Luna told her.

"However he has never shown us otherwise," Ami pointed out. "What's bothering you?"

"I just hope he isn't trying to trick us into trusting him only to find that he is on the enemy's side," Aya sighed. "That's what worries me."

"That is a concern of mine too," Luna admitted. "That is why I say we have to be careful but does Usagi listen? No she doesn't"

"Usagi is head over heels in love with him," Ami said. "And he has always helped us. I think we can trust him."

"I hope we can," Aya murmured.

"Don't worry so much about it Aya-chan," Ami gently told her as she put a hand on Aya's arm. "I know how you are feeling though. Usagi-chan is the first real friend I've ever had too and I want to protect her as well. Rei does too even though she won't admit it."

"Ami's right Aya-chan," Luna added. "You need to concentrate on helping Sailor Moon and the others defeat the Dark Kingdom. Just be on your guard around Tuxedo Kamen and if he is really an enemy then do what you need to do to stop him."

"I will," Aya replied. She gazed up at the moon, which was starting to come out. {"I hope he is on our side for Usagi's sake."}
