Sailor Takao Chapter 4
A heavy pant escape blue hair teen as she crawled into the open window of her bedroom.
"Another great job Sailor Wind." Dragoon chirp. The blue hair teen nodded as she climb further into the room. She let out a heavy sigh. Soon the costume of sailor wind was gone and there stood Takao Kinomiya. Dressed in her male school uniform, she slowly began to unbutton her jacket.
"Yeah… Thanks dragoon." The teen smiled. "I'm going to shower, can you keep an ear out for Grandpa or Hiro?" wonder the teen.
"Will do." Dragoon couldn't believe the type of mission they had. They had to sneak into bar and protect a musician, who was draining energy from people who ever fell in love him. That something Dragoon had hard time dealing with. The dragon was even more surprise by how observant Takao has been.
The blue lizard couldn't even detect any negative energy at the points where Takao said there was a monster. This was their fifth fight they did together. The blue hair teen was still beating herself up on not knowing who Ian was. He wasn't at the scene, which angered the teen. The door open gentle as though to make as little sound as possible; it reveal Takao in a towel. Her long blue hair was down to her butt. She often didn't spend time dying, but instead she would brush it and braid it.
"Good night Dragoon." The teen didn't bother to change she hopped into her bed. She fell sleep before her head hit the pillow.
"Good night my dear," Dragoon watched the teen for a moment before disappearing into the night.
At a local arcade, the doors open on their own, and tiny figure slither in. They stop at a certain video game. They touch the screen before choices were given to them. They answer the questions in a verbal response.
"Have you found the princess yet?" spoke an odd and distorted voice. Dragoon sat before the computerize screen.
"No, I haven't found a trace of her."
"I see…" the computerize voice appeared to be completing on what to say next.
"Sailor Wind appears to be very reliable." Dragoon spoke up. "She picks up on things quicker than I can." Spoke the lizard.
"Maybe she's a guardian." Supplied the computer. Dragoon chuckled weakly.
"If only!" grinned the lizard. Joking aside, a serious look was place upon the lizard's face.
"Anyway, I've sense a strange energy that appears to be following Takao." Dragoon raised a brow.
"There appears to be several surrounding the girl." Dragoon thought about the blue hair teen's friends.
"This is the girl that is rising my suspicious." On the screen reveal a familiar blonde hair girl. Dragoon arch an elegant brow at the picture. He knew of the girl. She would often come by and pick up the blue hair teen. "We believe she might be a spy sent by the enemy."
"I see… and if she is?"
"Destroy her." Dragoon's eyes widen. "We can't not allow such obtuse feelings cloud dear Sailor Wind's mind. She is most important to us on fighting the evil." Dragoon nodded his head as the screen blacked out. Leaving the lizard alone with his thoughts. Smoke escapes his lips.
"What am I going to do?"
WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW
A whistle blown and six girls had jumped into the pool. Each racing against each other to get the goal. Cheering could be heard from the bleachers.
"Hey Takao!" The blue hair teen was standing in balcony, which allowed a better view of the pool area. She turned around to see Hilary and Masaru. A smiled appeared upon her face.
"Hey guys!" She returns her attention back to the race. "Can you believe, its time for the swimming club to race against other school." Comment the teen.
"Do you think Maxine will be alright?" wondered Hilary as she shared a concern look with Masaru.
"Oh yeah, she's the strongest swimmer out of the club." Takao brag. Another whistle was blown. The blue hair teen jumped for joy as Maxine's name appeared upon the score broad.
"Heh, so what does mean?" wonder Hilary. Masaru smiled as he rubbed his chin.
"It means, she's going be competing for our school." Masaru supplied. Then the score broad had change, which had other names on it. Masaru gasp in surprise. Maxine's name had dropped down two tenth place. Takao looked confused. Beside the names were times.
"What! What does it mean?" wonder the blue hair teen. Masaru suck in air through his teeth as he sent a worry look towards Takao.
"That's her competition from this district Takao." Masaru answer. "Since everything is so digitalizes, sports teams are able to post stats of their best players. Its kind of like bragging." Masaru added. "There is still someone else on the team who has better time than she does." The bleach blond pointed out. Takao looked confused as she read the broad. Then she eyes were drawn back to the pool.
Maxine stood a few feet away from another girl. The other girl was still wearing her school uniform. The two just stared at each other as the students began to file themselves away.
WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW
Maxine let out a heavy sigh a she finish drying her hair. Grabbing her stuff, she closed her locker, but paused her movements. She narrowed her gaze as she looked around in the room.
"[Where are you…]" came a soft murmur.
"Max!"
"Takao! You have to wait outside! This is the girls locker's room!" came a growl. The blonde was soon distracted. She took one last look before leaving the room to meet up with the others.
"Hey guys!" Maxine spoke carefully. She was getting more confident in her speech.
"Maxine!" Takao lower lip tremble and her huge blue eyes began to water.
"Takao…" came a sigh. The blue hair teen quickly attaches herself to the blonde as she began to fake sob. Maxine giggle as she patted the teen.
"Hey, I need to go. I have classroom duties I need to get done." Hilary spoke up.
"And I have practice for basketball." Masaru and Hilary both congratulate the blonde on her time before leaving. Takao looked surprise by the two to suddenly leave her alone.
"[Heh… I guess that just leaves us.]" Takao flinch. "[Should we get going then? Unless you have something to do as well?]" Wondered the blonde. Takao shook her head, which had caused the smile to brighten on the blonde's face. "[Great! Then you can walk me to my gym.]"
"Gym?" Takao looked confused as she was being dragged away by the blonde.
The two walked at comfortable pace. Takao kept shooting Maxine looks, but didn't know what to say. The two never really talked about what had happen at the blue hair teen's place.
"Erm… Max." Takao began. The blonde quickly grabbed Takao's hand and kissed her knuckles. Takao's face slowly heat up at the simple action. Maxine took Takao's hand into her own. She gentle rubbed the palm and noticed the callous that were building up. Max wasn't stupid, even though a lot of people treated her so due to the language barrier. The blonde had notice small things on the blue hair teen. Takao would sometimes come to school with a huge band aid on her cheek or cuts on her hands. Today, her knuckles were swollen. Takao blushed as Maxine massage her hand.
"[You shouldn't do such reckless things.]" Reaching into her bag, Maxine pulled out a small vial. She poured the liquid onto the blue hair teen's hand and continued to massage it. It wasn't until swollen had gone down that Maxine let go Takao's hand and started walking. Takao blink curiously as she looked at her. Takao was always curious what was in those vials. She had asked once, but the blonde just ignores her. Then answer by saying it was secret. The blue hair teen jog to catch up with the blonde.
"Max-"
"[Takao please… Can we not talk about what had happen that one evening right now please?]" Stressed was evident in the blonde's voice. The blue hair teen nodded.
"Alright…"
The two finally reached their destination. Takao stared in awe at the huge building before her. Maxine couldn't help the smile that graces her features. "Thanks for walking me here. I'll catch you at school?" The blue hair teen nodded. She waved the blonde as she disappeared behind the glass doors. Takao cursed herself as she began to walk away.
"Geeze… What is the matter with me? Why can't I just tell her I am a girl, and that I am not interested in her gender." Takao grumble. She stalk forward, but paused to look at the gym. The blue hair teen notices a flickering in one of the windows. The teen narrowed her gaze. "Gotta go talk to Dragoon about this." The teen quickly rushed home.
"Miss Mizuhura! How nice you to join us again!" spoke the gym instructor. The blonde nodded her head. "What would we be interesting in trying out the slimming pods?" The gym instructor had over articulated his words, which caused the blonde to glare at the guy.
"No thank you, I'll be doing my usual workout." Maxine replied in Japanese. The blonde didn't get it, but whenever she was angry. She could articulate the words with ease. It drove her crazy some days. And it was the creepy gym instructor today. The blonde went to go change and disappeared into the weight room. His long nose was an odd sight to see. It wasn't something that was native to Japan. The teen had to wonder where the guy came from. He continued to greet girls and lead few to a class or to slimming pods. They appeared to be a waste of her time away.

Takao laid on her bed looking at her hand. It looked almost prefect. The bruising was gone. The blue hair teen put her hand down.
"Takao?" The teen jumped up in surprise and fell onto the floor. Dragoon raised a brow as he stare at the teen.
"Dragoon! Sneaking on a girl is not very gentlemen like!" came a hiss.
"So… Neither is lying to a girl." Takao giggle nervously. The Lizard had her there.
"Anyway, sorry to bother you, but I received news from HQ." Takao's eyes widen.
"Really! Like what!" Takao was always curious where the lizard had sneaked off.
"That girl, Maxine, " Takao leaned in as Dragoon appeared to have paused in his little speech. "Is trouble!" Takao's arm slipped causing the teen fall face flat to the ground in disbelief.
"No shit Sherlock!" the teen yelled. "I could have told you that! Besides… one of these days, I'm going to have to break it to her…" Takao murmur the rest so quietly Dragoon couldn't even hears what she grumbling about.
"Takao… I got news from Head Quarters, saying that Maxine could be a spy working for the evil we seek." Takao narrowed her gaze.
"You must be whack man." The blue lizard let out a hiss.
"I am not whack!" came a growl. "I've been watching the girl, and I'm starting to think they might be right."
"Then your investigation is wrong!" Takao growled back.
"Takao!" The lizard took a deep breath. "Look, I understand this girl means something to you, but you have to look at the facts-"
"No! I refuse to acknowledge whatever fact you have!" Takao yelled. Dragoon narrowed his gaze.
"She's always healing you." Came a murmur. Takao's eyes widen. "Last time we face Ian, he had wished to keep you alive long enough to see what kind of person you are." The blue hair teen dropped down to her kneels. "He's experimenting on you Takao. You must realize that!" Takao shook her head as she back away. "Takao! That vial you stole." The blue hair teen perked her head up. "HQ was able to find only the chemical compound H2O. Its if only water, how else would she be healing you?" Takao began to tremble. She begin to grab strains of her hair and kept muttering the same phrase over and over again.
It cannot be true…
Dragoon stared sadly at the young girl before him. She was so lonely; she would do anything for whatever friends she had.
WwWwWwWwWwWwWwW
At school, Maxine was in the hallway rushing towards another class, but she was stop by Takao. When she had first seen the teen this morning; she was worry because he looked exhausted.
"Max." Takao had grasped a hold of her wrist. The blonde looked confused.
"What's wrong Takao?" The blue hair teen looked around before leading her to a stairwell that wasn't used to often. She was roughly shoved up against the wall. The blonde winced. Her breathing became labor as she notice the odd look in the blue hair teen's eyes. "Takao? What is going on? You're scaring me." The blue hair teen had made sure they were alone. The blonde wasn't sure what to expect.
"Max…" her name rolled off her tongue. The blonde wonders if she would ever get tired of the blue hair teen saying her name. Takao took a deep breath as she put her hands on either side of blonde's head. "Max!" Blonde gulp nervously as she looked at the teen before. Takao looked to be struggling with herself. "I need to know." The blue hair teen held a dark look within her eyes. Her knee kept Max's legs open. The blonde took in a shake breathe as she stared at the teen. "Do you have magic?"
{Eh?}
Maxine couldn't help but feel let down by the choice of words.
{Do I have magic?! Is that all he wanted to ask! I can't believe how thick skull boys are!}
Maxine scream to herself inside her mind. "Max!" Takao slammed her hand against the wall, which snapped the blonde out of the mental argument. The blonde narrowed her gaze, but her gaze had soften with the next few words that escape the blue hair teen. "Please Max, I need to know." There was a look of desperation that blonde just wanted to hold the teen. "How are you able to heal my injuries with water!" Maxine's eyes widen. She couldn't believe it.
"How?" Takao's eyes widen for a brief moment. Takao stumble back in surprise by the her words. "How did you find out it was water?" came a whisper. The blue hair teen narrowed her gaze.
"Max!" The blonde looked at the teen before. "Who gave you this ability?" Takao stood before the blonde trembling. She looked as though she would break down and cry.
"I-I-I…" Maxine took a deep breath. There was no sense in hiding. "[I've had these abilities since I could remember. My mother made me promise to never tell a soul. It's the reason why I can hold my breath for so long under water.]"
"Liar!" Blonde snapped her gaze back to the blue hair teen. Anger rolled off the teen. "Who really gave you those abilities?" Maxine clench her hand into a tight fist. "Max!"
"Leave me alone!" the blonde slapped the blue hair teen. "I'm sorry…" A few whimper escape the blonde as she took off. Takao was stun. She stumbled backwards and fell down onto the concrete. Everything was so confusing.
WwWwWwWwWwWwWwWwW
Hiding in alleyway, Takao watch Maxine disappeared into her gym. "Takao… You don't need to be here. I can always contract HQ to see if they can send Soldier Fire." Dragoon appeared around her arm. The teen had a huge comparison on her cheek. The teen narrowed her gaze. "Takao?"
"No Dragoon… I need to do this! In order to prove myself as warrior. I need to take out Max, no matter how much it hurts." The blue hair teen took a deep breath as she was quick to look around before darting across the street. The blue hair teen murmured some words as she held a pink pen within her grasp. Her transformation was settle and yet obvious at the same time.
Maxine was sitting on a stationary bike, not really staring at anything in particular. Then she noticed a blue hair woman staring at her. Not feeling very social, Maxine hopped off the bike and went to weight room. She began doing her routine with five pounds. Then few minutes later, the strange blue hair woman was in the room. Again, she was staring at Maxine.
{This cannot be happening….} Maxine left her eye twitch in slight irritation. {This woman is following me!} Maxine decide to get a good look of the woman. The blonde couldn't help but glare as she notices how curvy the woman was. Her long blue a hair was shining in the light and she had smooth clear skin as well. {Why the hell is someone that beautiful even in here!} Maxine growled within her mind. Before Max could confront the woman, the strange long nose guy came into the room and announces that there was a special going on with the slimming pods. The a lot of the women in the room were eager to follow. Once the group had left, the blue hair woman had noticed the blonde was gone too.
Maxine snicker to herself as she watched the blue hair woman look confused. "Heh… That will show her!" came a snicker. Maxine felt something odd as a cold chill travel down her spine. The blonde took in her surroundings. They were lead to the dim basement.
"Well ladies! Here are the pods!" Maxine arch a brow as the women in the group to fight for limit amount of pods. The blonde quickly ducked out of the way and crawled to the edge. She narrowed her gaze. {Something isn't right…}
"Hey miss! Why don't you come in a pod!" It was the creepy nose guy. He grabbed her arm. Maxine growled as she jerked her arm free.
"Get away from me you long nose freak!" she yelled. The guy stumbled back and glare at her.
"You brat! No more Mr nice guy." The gym uniform was slowly changing. Ian glared at the girl before him. Maxine stared wide eye before letting out a scream. The door leading to the pods slammed open.
"What is going on here!" came a growl. Maxine gasp. It was the blue hair woman, and a cat? Seeing the cat was an odd sight.
"Oh great… any another one." Ian narrowed his gaze onto the woman. "This is none of your business! Please leave!" Ian order.
"No! Moon prism power!" yelled the woman. Maxine gasp as the woman had transform before them.
"Sailor Wind! Why aren't I surprise?" smiled Ian as the sailor girl appeared few feet away from the two. "I'm still interested on how you are able to locate most of my operations under my cloaking device." Came sneer. Sailor Wind narrowed her gaze onto dual.
"So its true!" Ian arched a brow. "Max is working for you!" came a weak reply. Ian looked between Sailor Wind and the blonde before him.
"What are you talking about? This human? She is nothing but fodder for the negaverse." Ian smiled. "Her energy will be to put to great use for us." Maxine narrowed her gaze.
"Yeah right! Not in this life time you creepy!" Maxine yelled as she threw a punch. Ian was caught off guard by the sudden attack, he stumble back.
"You… You hit me?" Ian stared at the blonde in surprise.
"Gr! I hate how people think I am some dumb blonde, who can't protect herself!" Sailor Wind stared in awe at the girl. "I'm tired of getting pushed around!" An odd mark appeared upon Maxine's forehead as she appeared to be glowing.
"That's mark of Mercury!" Dragoon hiss. Sailor Wind tilt her head towards the lizard.
"So… Does that mean she's one of the good guys?" wonder the blue hair teen.
"Yes! But we need to get her away from Ian!" Dragoon reported. Maxine glared at Ian. She threw another punch, but missed her mark. Ian had jumped back to dodge the weak attack.
"I don't have time to play with children! Trainers!" Ian shouted. Sailor Wind gasp in horror as three huge over muscular men appeared in the doorway. "Take care of these girls for me! I have other business to tend too." Ian snapped his fingers and dark portal appeared.
"No! Wait- Ah!" Ian had disappeared through the portal before the blue hair warrior could do anything. The blue hair warrior dodge the punch of one the Hench men. Sailor Wind narrowed her gaze as she used forces from her dodge to do a one-hand cartwheel. She landed in a fight pose, glaring down her opponents. All three yelled as they darted towards her. Sailor Wind took a deep breath before dodging the first punch by ducking down and catching the guy in the gut. Then she jumped up to dodge the round house kick. She kicked the new guy in the head, causing him to stumble back into third one.
"Hey" came a hiss. Maxine looked around. She spotted the blue lizard. "Take this and say Mercury power." She was given a odd looking blue pen. "Quickly! While they are distracted!" The blonde nodded her head. Her workout outfit was replace with White and dark blue sailor outfit. Instead of having shorts like Wind; she had a short mini skirt that barely cover her bottom. There was a dark blue bow in the front and back. She had matching boots like Wind, but different shade of blue.
"What the hell is this? I didn't sign for this!" came a squeal. Dragoon let out a heavy sigh. It had to be their backup was freaking out. "This has to be some weird dream! Yes! That's it! I am dreaming!" The blonde shook her head in disbelief.
"Enough! Your are a Sailor Scout and it is your job to help your friend who is need!" Snapping her attention to the huge muscle guys what were fighting with Sailor Wind. The blue hair warrior had skillful dodge the attacks and was able to counter with one of her own.
"Are you sure she needs help?" Both stared in awe on how Sailor Wind appeared to be dancing in between each of the blows.
"Will one of two you do something!" came a yell. Sailor Water gasp in surprise. Sailor Wind landed not far from her. The blue hair warrior was panting heavily. "I can't keep this up!" Her breath came out in rugged pants.
"Sailor Water, try saying bubble freeze attack." Dragoon climb onto the blonde's shoulder. Sailor Water nodded as she did the attack. The room fog up, causing the muscles head to look around. The moisture in the air was causing the equipment to the pods to short circuit. Sparks flew from the machine before exploding.
"Now Wind! Use your tiara! Aim for their sweat bands!" Sailor Wind nodded as she used her tiara as a disc. She was able to destroy their mind controlling deceives. All three men fainted.
"Awesome! Another-ah!"
"Come on!" Before Sailor Wind could enjoy the victory, she was quickly rushed out of the room. The two girls had snuck out in the one of the exits. They disappeared down the ally. Though their presents didn't go unnoticed.
The two had found Abandon Park, where Sailor Water had to stop and catch her breath.
"Now that was team work!" Sailor Wind jumps for joy.
"Yes, I do say, good work ladies." Dragoon added. Sailor Water narrowed her gaze two the pair.
"What the heck!" The two paused in the little victory. "No! My family moved here to get away from this crap!" The blonde growled. Sailor Wind and Dragoon looked surprise by the statement.
"What are you saying?" Sailor Wind looked confused. Sailor Water took a deep breath before returning back to regular self.
"This evil… They destroy my home." Maxine narrowed her gazed as memories appeared to be fresh in her mind. "My dad moved us here in hopes to escape it. He doesn't have the ability to sense it like myself or my brother." Sailor Wind nor Dragoon knew what to do. "Here." She handed back the pen.
"No Wait! Max!" The blonde began walking away, but was stop. Sailor Wind grabbed onto her wrist. "Please," The blonde tremble as she shook her head. "I need you." A bright flash of light caught her attention. The costume had disappeared and standing before her was Takao. The blue hair teen, whom she had a crush on. "I need your help." The blonde's face suddenly turns bright red.
"YOU'RE A GIRL!" came a screech. Takao chuckle nervously as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Geeze, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to find out like this." Takao scratch her cheek in a nervous manner. "I thought you knew until…" The blue hair teen blush as she remembers a certain moment with the blonde, which caused Maxine's face to redden. "Umm… If makes you feel any better, it was my first as well." Takao chuckle nervously. The blonde was standing a foot away trembling. "Uh… Max?" Then something clicked with the teen. "Wait second… Your speaking Japanese well." The blonde teen gasped as she turned away.
"I-I-I… [I'm only good when I'm upset.]" The blonde comment. Takao nodded her head in understanding. "[Now I understand why, you don't have a girlfriend.]" The blue hair teen was positive she was going to have a permit blush. "[And why the girls think you are untouchable…]" Takao shuffled onto her feet nervously. She was beginning to feel uncomforted.
"Max." The blue hair teen decided to stop her. "[I'm dress like this because I feel more comfortable in boys clothes. I wasn't trying to me mean, or make you think I was a guy.]" Maxine's eyes widen. "[I tried telling you, but you seem busy with your swimming tournament.]" The blonde recalled the moments she and the blue hair teen were alone. For some reason, she always brought up an excused. "[I still want to be your friend, and maybe you can be my comrade too?]" Takao held out the strange blue pen. Maxine looked at the pen and then at teen. She let out a deep sigh. She took a step forward and took Takao's face within her grasp. The blue hair teen began to blush. "Uh…Max!" Takao closed her eyes. Then she realizes, the blonde didn't kiss her on the lips. She was kissing her forehead.
"[I will be your friend, but I need to think about the other thing. Good night Takao.]" With that, the blonde had disappeared into the night. Leaving a stun blue hair teen and confused lizard.
"Geeze Takao, you had to go break another heart didn't you." The teen growled at the floating lizard. "Hey! Don't get mad at me!" The two bicker before making their way home too.
