Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Uta no Prince-sama. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Uta no Prince-sama is created by Broccoli as a Japanese visual novel game franchise and aired as an Anime series by A-1 Pictures.
"Do you think Saotome-jōshi is alright," asked a concerned Natsuki.
"Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn," said Ren.
"And, I believe Aijima-sama has a lot of that," said Tokiya.
After finding the Sailor Senshi and the now found Kotomi-san, Kotomi didn't waste any time in tell Ringo-sensei and Hyūga-sensei in showing her the way to Saotome's office. Quartet Night, however, were surrounding the Sailor Senshi and asking how THEY found the long lost famous Kotomi-san. It took a while, but they explained to Reiji, Ai, Camus, and Ranmaru how they ventured to Agnapolis to formally ask Cecil's father, King Kōya, in letting Cecil be a part of STARISH and becoming an official idol. There were, however, close calls from Natsuki, Cecil, and Shō about being Senshi knights, but one death glare from Setsuna and Hotaru from behind Quartet Night shut the three up. Haruka, though, smiled before looking at her watch and gasping at the time. It was now time for STARISH to get to the venue for the UtaPri Award and go up against their opponent, HEAVENS. Yet, while they were in their dressing room and waiting for their turn to perform, STARISH couldn't help but worry for Saotome being with a furious Kotomi. "Kāchan wouldn't… uh… KILL him, would she," questioned Cecil.
"I… have no idea, Aijima," said Masato.
"Knock, knock," said Reiji at the dressing room's door.
"Ah, Reiji," said Otoya as the group saw him and Ai at the door.
"Reiji," said Ai, "I believe STARISH is nervous, but not about the award. Do you concur?"
"Ah," nodded Reiji before turning them, "Mina~! Why the long faces?"
"W-We're just worried about Saotome-jōshi," confessed Shō, "After all, he's in his office right now with an angry Kotomi-sama."
Reiji and Ai nodded their heads. Before they, as senpai, came to make sure STARISH was feeling alright, Quartet Night could hear Kotomi yelling from all the way from Saotome's office. It also sounded like something else happened in the past that made Kotomi furious at Saotome-jōshi. They also winced when they heard a loud SLAP all the way from where they were before all four booked out of there. They were also still reeling in knowing that THE Ittoki Otoya was actually Saotome's son! For now, Reiji and Ai needed STARISH to focus and maybe… just maybe… show Japan and, possibly, the entire world that STARISH is a good idol group. "Mā mā (okay)," said Reiji, "Now is not the time to worry about our jōshi."
"As much as it pains me to say this," said Ai, "But, Reiji is correct. You need to focus more on yourselves… for now."
"Our senpai are right," said Ren, "Let's win the UtaPri Award first before we rush off. Okay?"
"Un," chorused STARISH.
"Now, THAT is what I remember when seeing STARISH," murmured Reiji.
"Nani," questioned Ai.
"Nandemonai~ (Nothing~)," sung Reiji, "Sā (Come on), Ai Ai. Let's find the others!"
"You're leaving already," questioned a confused Natsuki.
"Un," nodded Reiji, "We senpai were just checking up on you all before finding our seats. Ganbarou~ (Good luck~)!"
STARISH just nodded their heads as they watched Reiji and Ai walk out of the dressing room. It wasn't long that the Starlights, Setsuna, and Hotaru came into the dressing room. Otoya looked a bit depressed that Usagi wasn't with them, but the seasoned Senshi just smiled and told them that Usagi was resting after her ordeal. The others nodded their heads. It made sense that Usagi was resting because for all they knew, coming back to life was just as exhausting for a while. How she also transformed and Sailor teleported with them made them curious though, yet their answer was answered by Hotaru. "I am not sure about the Starlights, but Usagi-hime has been a Sailor Senshi far longer than us, with the exception of Setsuna-mama," said Hotaru.
"That's right," said Ren, "Wasn't little rabbit a Senshi when she was fourteen?"
"Hai," said Setsuna, "Though, inexperienced, she came a long way from that fourteen-year-old."
"You were still watching over her, ne, Setsuna-san," questioned Taiki.
"Of course," said Setsuna, "I may not be able to interfere until a certain time due to the rules of time, but even I am not heartless to not watch over her."
STARISH were silent as the seasoned Senshi joked around as if Usagi dying on them wasn't that big of a deal. Yet, of course, the battle against Jadeite and Rubeus were STARISH's first and, maybe, ONLY final battle. STARISH weren't used to seeing their friend die, unlike the five in front of them. They were more experienced than them, but STARISH still battled on. It made one appreciate the friends they had. A knock on the door made everyone stop what they were talking about. It was not going to be good if anyone else knew who they really were. When Masato answered the door, it was the assistant to the director telling them that it was time to be on stage. "Well, mina," said Seiya, "Ganbatte (Good luck)."
"Arigatō," said Tokiya.
"We'll be cheering you guys on," said Hotaru.
"Thank you," said Cecil, "We may need it."
"I think you guys need it, too," said Yaten nonchalantly, "HEAVENS is no pushover."
"So, we'll try JUST as hard," said Shō with a glare.
"And THAT is why we think you'll do just fine out there," said Taiki.
With that said, the Starlights and the two Outers left the dressing room and towards the audience to sit down. They were surprised to see Kotomi sitting next to Usagi when they took their seats. Usagi and Kotomi were actually quietly talking to each other, Usagi asking for advice on being a great queen in the future. Kotomi, on her part, was surprised to hear what Usagi went through, but she felt proud that her Otoya was there along the way to comfort Usagi and bring a smile to her face. Before Kotomi could hug Usagi, both were interrupted by the seasoned Senshi coming to sit down. "How are they," asked Usagi.
"Nervous," said Seiya, "But, it's to be expected."
"UtaPri Award…," murmured Kotomi, "It reminds me of the past."
"Cheer up, Kotomi-sama," said Hotaru, "You'll be seeing BOTH of your sons on stage very soon."
"Oh, I hope Cecil-san doesn't start doing the Agnadance," said Taiki worriedly.
"My Cecil still does that dance unconsciously," questioned an amused Kotomi.
"Un," chorused the others.
As the lights dimmed, the Senshi and Kotomi quieted down to watch the show. It wasn't long that music started to play. The Senshi recognized the song as STARISH's newest hit, Maji Love 2000%. They turned to see Kotomi smiling happily as she saw STARISH jump out from behind the screen and starting to sing and dance. They turned back to the stage to see STARISH actually relaxing and having fun. Kotomi and the Senshi all cheered STARISH on, though Kotomi could see her son flushing slightly every time he sent his sights on their group, especially when his eyes landed on a certain blonde haired girl. Giggling inwardly, Kotomi and the Senshi stood up and clapped for STARISH after they finished the performance. The concert hall quieted down just in time to hear the results. "For the first time in history of the UtaPri Award," said the announcer, "Two groups have been nominated. We have experienced an unbelievable and dream-like world of song at the hands of these two young groups. On whose heads will the crown of victory sparkle?"
"I can't take this suspense," said an almost yelling Yaten.
"Isn't it exciting," questioned an amused Taiki.
"Setsuna-mama, you know the outcome," said Hotaru, "Can you PLEASE tell us?"
"I'm sorry, 'Taru-chan," said an amused Setsuna, "But, you have to wait just like the rest of the audience."
"She already knows who won," questioned Kotomi.
"Un," nodded Usagi, "Remember how I explained that each planet is governed by an element?"
"Hai," said Kotomi slowly.
"Setsuna-mama governs the element of time," piped up Hotaru, "Since Pluto also is the equivalent to Cronus, the Time god in mythology."
"Nē (Hey)," chided Setsuna, "Don't tease about my father."
"Hai," said two amused teens.
"C-Chotto matte," said Seiya, "You mean the mythology's GODS are real?!"
"How else were we conceived," questioned an amused Hotaru.
"Mina," said Usagi, "Let's talk about this later. The judges are ready to give us the results."
Everyone turned back and started to wish that STARISH will win. However, something unexpected happen. The company's boss for HEAVENS stepped out onto the stage and said that the results by the judges didn't matter?! The Senshi and Kotomi all turned to Setsuna, but Setsuna just simply smiled mysteriously before turning back onto the stage. All six of them sighed at how Setsuna was acting before turning back as well to hear what this crazy boss was about to say. Yet, it wasn't long to see that the results actually were in favor of their group…. STARISH! "Yatta," exclaimed Usagi and Hotaru together.
"Setsuna was the only one who knew that STARISH would win," said an amused Seiya.
"Did you have any doubts about STARISH not winning," questioned Setsuna.
"I-Īe," said Seiya who shook his head furiously.
"I-Is that Mitsuo's voice," questioned Kotomi.
"It's just like our Headmaster," sighed Hotaru and Usagi together.
"H-He's done THIS before," yelped out a surprised Taiki.
"Un," nodded Hotaru and Usagi together.
The seven turned back towards the stage to see Saotome Mitsuo emerging from the shadows in a box that was hanging above the… audience?! STARISH, Quartet Night, and the Senshi all blanched and sweat-dropped on how Saotome looked. It seemed as though Kotomi really did a number on him when they left to get ready for the UtaPri Award. Kotomi, on the other hand, was sitting in the audience seat and smirking at how Saotome looked because there, in front of the audience, HEAVENS, and HEAVENS' company's boss, was Saotome standing proudly with big bumps and bruises on his face. "W-What happened to you," questioned HEAVENS' boss.
"Ahahaha," laughed Saotome awkwardly, "It seems a ghost from my past came back just to knock some sense into me about an… issue."
"Issue my foot," mumbled Kotomi with a glare.
"Anyways," said Saotome who shivered slightly because he could FEEL Kotomi's glare, "Mr. Raging, are you familiar with the other prizes awarded at this concert hall?"
"Ah," said the now known Mr. Raging, "I will do anything the victor desires."
"Yes," said Saotome, "Any wish can be granted!"
"Why did I marry him," murmured Kotomi as she face-palmed on what Saotome did.
"I-Is he crazy," questioned Yaten with wide green eyes.
"That's how our Headmaster is," sighed Usagi and Hotaru once more.
There, now on stage after jumping out of the box, Saotome told everyone that Mr. Raging didn't have to disband HEAVENS because STARISH desired it… that the FANS desired it. Mr. Raging nodded his head before telling the three HEAVENS members to get a move on. Once that was done, everyone got a surprise by STARISH requesting that they get to sing one more song for everyone. Everyone, including the audience, was confused until the song came on and Cecil said with a wink, "Are you ready?"
That made the fangirls SCREAM when STARISH started to sing Maji Love 1000% right there with the audience.
- Time Skip: Saotome's Office –
"Congratulations," exclaimed Saotome.
"Arigatō," said STARISH awkwardly.
"D-Demo (B-But), a-are you alright, jōshi? Y-You still have uh…," asked Tokiya who politely tried to ask about his bruises.
"HAHAHA," laughed Saotome, "I feel fine!"
It was now after the UtaPri award that had STARISH, Haruka, the two teachers, and Kotomi standing in his office. Haruka was still confused on who Kotomi was, but she didn't ask who she was as she just stared at Saotome. STARISH and Haruka didn't know why they were in Saotome's office after just winning the award. Did something else happened that they needed to be here? Concentrating on Saotome, they could tell that he was stalling about… something. It was, however, Kotomi who stepped up and hit Saotome in the back of his head. "Jōshi/Saotome-san," exclaimed everyone in the room.
"Don't drag this out and being dramatic about it," said Kotomi.
"Hai, Kotomi-chan," said a solemn Saotome.
"Don't hai me," growled Kotomi, "As I said before, that RULE you set up was ridiculous! So, fix it now or…"
"N-No need for violence, Kotomi," said Ringo-sensei nervously.
"R-Ringo-san is right," said Hyūga-sensei.
"Then, he shouldn't be drawing this out," said a glaring Kotomi.
All present that weren't the teachers were surprised to see Saotome cowering from a fierce Kotomi. Cecil and Otoya sweat-dropped because this WAS their mother who was putting Saotome in his place. The other STARISH backed up, however, when Kotomi picked up something that WOULD hurt them while pulling Haruka away from the confrontation. The confrontation, thankfully, was short due to the teachers' interference. As STARISH and Haruka stepped back to where they were before, Saotome turned to them and told them straight out. "As of now, the dating rule will be abolished," said Saotome, "And you are free to date among yourselves. However! Keep your dating life separate from your work, okay?"
"W-We will," said a surreal Ren.
"Arigatō for your kind gesture," said STARISH and Haruka together.
"Does this mean that Quartet Night are free to date as well," questioned Masato.
"Yes~," said Saotome, "The rule will only be there for the STUDENTS at Saotome Academy. They need to focus more on their careers first, ne?"
"That is an acceptable agreement," said Kotomi with a huff as she crossed her arms.
"Now then," said Saotome with his hands clasped together, "You are free to go."
STARISH and Haruka wasted no time to get out of the office, lest there be ANOTHER beating that they may witness between Kotomi and Saotome. Otoya and Cecil DID wonder what their mother will do because after all, she is STILL married legally to BOTH of their fathers. It wasn't long that they saw Tomochika, Usagi, Hotaru, Setsuna, and the Three Lights sitting with Quartet Night in the Master Course dormitory's living room. Camus was serving some sweets and tea for all of them as they conversed on something. They DID, though, hear Usagi saying something about a solo song? "Mina," said a joyous Otoya as he plopped down next to Usagi.
"Finished with the celebration," questioned Reiji, "I thought it would be longer."
"Ah," said Masato, "Saotome-jōshi just wanted to congratulate us and tell us that he abolished the dating rule."
"NANI," shouted Quartet Night.
"Are you serious," asked a surprised Ai.
"Hai," said Haruka, "It was weird how Kotomi-san was there though."
"That's kāsan for you," said Otoya and Cecil together.
"So… does this mean that Otoya is a prince," questioned Camus.
"Eh," asked a surprised Otoya, "I-Īe… I think."
"So…," said Usagi, "Shall we celebrate STARISH's success?"
"HAI," yelled out everyone, besides Ranmaru, Ai, and Camus.
As everyone started to congratulate STARISH and hold an impromptu party for them, no one noticed that Otoya and Usagi stayed together and were secretly holding hands as they converse with their friends.
