Chapter 37: A Deep Friendship
It had been a couple days since it had happened… And a lot has happened. Predictably, both Konata's dad and Isshin cried at the site of their amnesic daughters. (With one of them getting hit in the head... guess which one). While everyone's family accepting help from the volunteer to help them remember (except for the Hiiragi and Kurosaki family since well… it was their twin sister that it happened to)… especially with Tatsuki's family and Tomo's family.
However after a few days. Tatsuki's mother thought it would be a good idea to go to school.
"So this is our school." Said Tatsuki.
"That's right and we have a lot of friends." Said Orihime.
"Why do I have a bizarre sinking feeling?" asked Tatsuki.
Orihime lead her into school, after exchanging their shoes they went into class.
"Hime! Tatsuki! It's so good to see you!" said Chizuru, hugging Tatsuki.
Tatsuki on pure 100 percent instinct, kicked her away.
"Why did you hug me?" she asked.
"Because you're my girlfriend." Said Chizuru crying.
Everyone who heard this sweat dropped.
"Don't joke around like that Chizuru." Said Orihime.
Chizuru sweat dropped…
"Right… joke…" said Chizuru.
Everyone stared at this.
"Didn't Chizuru say that Tatsuki was too boyish for her?" asked Mizuiro.
"Yeah… but I can see where she's coming from." Said Keigo.
"You better not be doing what your thinking of doing." Said Ichigo approaching him from behind.
"No of course not Ichigo." Said Keigo.
"Good…" said Ichigo.
Tatsuki looked at Ichigo.
"Who is he?" asked Tatsuki.
"That's Ichigo… he's a very good friend of ours." Said Orihime.
"I see…" said Tatsuki.
Meanwhile at the Hiiragi residence. Kagami's parents thought it would be a good idea for the two to stay at home a few more days. Kagami and Tsukasa were watching TV. That's when the doorbell rang.
"What was that?" asked Tsukasa.
"You forgot what a doorbell is?" asked Kagami.
Tsukasa sweat dropped.
Kagami go up and answered, it was Seiya.
"Seiya?" asked Kagami.
"I thought it would be a good idea to talk today." Said Seiya.
"Okay! Thanks…" said Kagami.
The two went into the living room.
"Hey Tsukasa, I'm going up to my to talk to Seiya." Said Kagami.
"Hey Tsukasa." Said Seiya.
"Is he your boyfriend?" asked Tsukasa.
Both Kagami and Seiya began to blush bright red.
"No… no… we're just friends. We just like talking to each other." Said Kagami.
"Okay…' said Tsukasa, "I'll tell you if I need some help."
"Okay." Said Kagami.
Kagami Seiya went upstairs to Kagami's room, passing Inori on the way there.
"Was that Kou Seiya?" Inori.
The two went into Kagami's room.
"So how you holding up?" asked Seiya.
"Tsukasa, seems to be the same… but… but." Said Kagami, tears began to stream down her cheeks, "She's there… she knows she's my sister… but… but…"
Seiya grabbed her hands.
"It's going to be fine… I know… we'll get her back to normal… soon…" said Seiya.
That's when there was a starching sound at the door. Kagami's eyes began to twitch.
"They aren't…" she said.
On the other side of the door, Inori, Matsuri and their mother Miki was at the door. That was when Kagami opened it.
"I was expected you two… but mom…" said Kagami.
"Sorry…" said Miki.
"It's not every day that our little sister has a washed up pop star in her room." Said Matsuri.
"Yeah… please leave… there's nothing going on… Seiya and I just friends okay…
She slammed the door.
"I didn't know you had two older sisters." Said Seiya.
"Yeah…" said Kagami.
"Have they been helping you?" asked Seiya.
"They have…" said Kagami.
"Then you're not alone on this one." Said Seiya.
"You're right." Said Kagami blushing slightly.
Meanwhile in the Galaxia HQ…
"What do you mean divide and conquer?" asked Sailor Mnemosyne.
"It's exactly what it sounds like…" said Sailor Galaxia, "Mnemosyne … you will go after the one you planned… Lethe… you shall after either Deimos or Titania."
"Why?" asked Lethe.
"I have discovered during the silver millennium Sailor Titania and Sailor Oberon were twins as were Sailor Phobos and Deimos. I have a theory in this life that they are twins as well..."
"Interesting…" said Sailor Lethe, " I did my studying… indeed both of them have twin sisters. I will go after Deimos… as I fear for my life if I go to Titania unprepared."
"Oh yeah… Yuzu Kurosaki's brother…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"If that phage was that powerful… I hate to see what is like angry…" muttered Sailor Lethe.
"You must divide and conquer." Said Sailor Galaxia.
"Right…" said both.
Sailor Lethe looked at her sister, who was shaking lightly.
"Why does she have to do this?" thought Sailor Lethe.
Sometime later… after school. Tatsuki and Orihime were walking home.
"I noticed a lot a of people were staring at me today…" sighed Tatsuki.
"It's just because I'm sure that they never met someone with amnesia." Said Orihime, "After all it not like TV where you get hit in the head with a coconuts and bam you have amnesia. If that happened then everyone would get it!"
Tatsuki began to sweat drop.
"I see…" she said.
"There's the girl I was looking for." Said a voice.
Orihime began to sweat when she hear this. She turned around and saw Sailor Mnemosyne.
"Who are you?" asked Tatsuki.
"I don't need to tell you." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
That was when she launched a golden ball at Tatsuki, Orihime pushed her out of the way, fortunately it missed both of them.
"You should thank your little friend Umbriel." Said Sailor Mnemosyne, "She just saved you life."
That was when the same barrier surrounded them.
"Not again." Said Orihime.
"Again… you're a Sailor Senshi… too aren't you." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"No… no… you're just hearing things!" said Orihime.
"I doubt that…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
Orihime looked down.
"I have no choice then." Said Orihime, "Because… I have to protect Tatsuki…"
She took out her brooch.
"Eris Cosmic Power! Make-up!" said Orihime.
She transformed into her Senshi.
"You're a super hero?" asked Tatsuki.
"So… I found out who Sailor Eris is… wow… talk about lucky…" thought Sailor Mnemosyne.
Meanwhile, else where…
Kagami, Seiya and Tsukasa went to get drinks.
"Well… well… isn't it my lucky day." Said a voice.
They turned around and saw Sailor Lethe.
"It looks like I'm under a Lucky Star today." Said Sailor Lethe.
The three looked at her… somehow knowing the bad pun she made.
"Fine… then…" said Sailor Lethe, "But the way… Kagami Hiiragi… are you Sailor Phobos?"
Kagami's eyes winded… she then remained calm.
"I have no idea what you are talking about…" said Kagami.
"You're lying… you are Sailor Phobos…" said Sailor Lethe with an evil smile.
That was when the same barrier appeared around them.
"Oh man…" muttered Kagami.
Sailor Lethe smiled evilly.
"You know what I'm going to go after Deimos first… and I'm going to make you watch Phobos." Said Sailor Lethe with an evil smile.
Kagami glared at the Sailor Animate.
In space the moon of Mars Phobos began to glow eggplant purple.
On earth Kagami began to glow the same color, her wand appeared in front of her.
"Phobos Crystal Power! Make-up!" said Kagami.
With that she transformed into her Senshi form.
That was just when Sailor Lethe sent out the Golden Ball at Tsukasa.
"Super Phobos Mirror Reflection!"
The golden ball hit the mirror and was sent back at Sailor Lethe. It hit, however since she lacked a Star Seed it didn't' effect her. Well not in that way… but the impact was painful.
"Yu in this round… but… I will return…" said Sailor Lethe who disappeared.
Both Seiya and Sailor Phobos breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um… Kagami…" said Tsukasa, "What just happened… and why are you in that weird outfit?"
Sailor Phobos once again sighed at the barriers disappeared.
It was deiced idea that unless any of the amnesic Senshi saw what happened… they would not tell them what's going on…
"It's a long story…" sighed Sailor Phobos.
Meanwhile… in Karakura Town. The two Senshi continued to face off… being eventually match.
"I guess your protecting her because you two are fellow Senshi." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"You're wrong." Said Sailor Eris, "Tatsuki means more to me than that."
Sailor Mnemosyne's eye widened, "How so?" she asked.
"Tatsuki is my best friend. I was alone for a very long time… When my brother died she was my first friend. She promised me… if someone were to make me cry… she would beat them up…" said Sailor Eris who began to cry, "and with what's going on… I want to protect her… no matter what…"
Sailor Mnemosyne looked down.
"I… I can't fight you…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"What?" asked Sailor Eris.
"I can't fight you." She said again.
Sailor Mnemosyne tossed a small vial to Sailor Eris.
"It's the antidote… give it to her." Said Sailor Mnemosyne, "I learned your identity… so that should be enough for Sailor Galaxia."
Sailor Mnemosyne disappeared…
Sailor Eris looked at the vial.
"Is everything… you said to her true?" asked Tatsuki.
"100 percent." Said Sailor Eris with a nod.
Meanwhile in Galaxia's HQ…
"So. I take it you have both failed…" said Sailor Galaxia.
Both of them nodded…
"But I sense you both have good news as well…" said Sailor Galaxia.
"I have confirmed that Sailor Phobos is indeed Kagami Hiiragi." Said Sailor Lethe.
"And I have discovered that Sailor Eris is Orihime Inoue." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"I see… you may have failed with this… but you have gained crucial information. Thank you." Said Sailor Galaxia.
Both of them left the presence of Sailor Galaxia.
"Mnemosyne …" said Sailor Lethe; "You gave them the water from the river of memory… didn't you?"
Sailor Mnemosyne's eye widened.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"How much did you give them?" asked Sailor Lethe.
"Just a small vial…" said Sailor Mnemosyne.
"I hope to whoever you gave it to drinks it all… I'm sure on of those aliens can reproduce it with just one drop." Said Sailor Lethe.
Meanwhile in Karakura town. Tatsuki who had since drank it. She looked at the vial.
"Tatsuki what's wrong…" said Orihime.
"I wonder…" said Tatsuki.
"I can recreate it…" said Yuki.
This caused both Orihime and Tatsuki to jump in surprise.
"Don't do that!" yelled Tatsuki.
"I can recreate the remaining water in the vial." Said Yuki, "But it will take time."
"Really?" asked Orihime.
"How did you even get here?" asked Tatsuki handing Yuki the vial.
"I sensed what is going on and I came here as soon as I could." Answered Yuki.
Tatsuki sweat dropped, "Okay…" she said.
"That's great! We can have everyone back to normal in no time!" said Orihime.
Yuki nodded…
And so little did Sailor Mnemosyne know she just handed them the cure… although it was entirely possible… that it was her goal all long.
Omake Time: Isshin's Reaction
Isshin Kurosaki was just told about his daughter's condition.
"Oh Yuzu… I can't… I can't believe you remember me." Cried Isshin hugging Yuzu.
"Is he really our dad? He's weird…" said Yuzu.
What she just made Isshin go to the poster of Masaki.
"Oh Masaki isn't just sad?" asked Isshin.
That's when Karin and Ichigo both kicked him in the head.
"Will you stop that?" both of them of them said.
"Oh Masaki…" cried Isshin.
"If you want to make a good impression on her… stop crying all the time!" yelled Karin.
"Just stop crying all together!" yelled Ichigo.
Both Rukia and Yuzu watched this.
"Is it like this all the time?" asked Yuzu
"You'd be surprised." Answered Rukia.
"Okay…" said Yuzu with a sweat drop.
