Hello Mina! Hope everything is fine with you. Bandana just decided to continue with her interview and has raised a few more questions
Hey you! You've done a tremendous plot error in your first part: Have I? I am not aware of any but even if it might be the case...it doesn't matter. Just trust me and go on reading
Why are you attaching „Meet Kousagi" Chapters to „the Key"? Two reasons: first is that „the key„ readers can easily follow the meta story and it is more comfortable to switch in chapters since one or the other moment in this whole story will make you jump back some chapters. Trust me.
Second reason I cannot tell since it all belongs to the story and will be unveiled. Just trust me.
Why are you doing all this anyway?
I want to make you think. Otherwise it would be boring, wouldn't it? As I mentioned it before. This story is something new.
You dumb moron forgot one chapter to attach in the key story (chapter 19 when Kousagi appeared in Mamoru's Appartement):
That's sorted and thanks to the anon who made me aware of this mistake. If I may quote a person from the third part "That can happen to the best of us". Furthermore, I just took a Sailor Moon quiz (which character are you?) and I got Usagi. This might explain a bit.
Okay, let's go on with the story...remember the baby sit episode? Have fun!
Two days later, Kousagi still seemed slightly upset because of the dispute they had while they were walking back from the VR theatre. It had been quite a funny day for Mamoru there anyway.
At first he spotted the blonde Odango and not more than two minutes later, the ginger haired girl who had introduced to himself as Natsumi Ginga the other day, clung on his other free side.
Then inside the theatre, her brother and him started challenging themselves during the shooting game which had been ended abruptly by a greenish monster with tentacles and two floating green faced elfs. He found himself fighting with Usagi's little brother and her father against those freaked out beings when finally a blonde girl in a sailor mini skirt appeared, followed by a white dressed Arabian Knight and four other girls wearing similar outfits like the first one. All of them tried to act the heros. This was quite a bizarr show. What had happened to this world? Or was it just his world that had collapsed?
The next two days had been a welcomed distraction to this chaos in his life. Loaded with work things to do, far away from any crazy girl, Mamoru started to relax a little bit. He was pleased to see that Kousagi had discovered his remarkable book collection and nearly had spent the whole time with reading whilst he had to work.
Today he would go with Kousagi to the Game Crown Center and whilst she would be busy with stalking Usagi's friends and playing Sailor V, he would simply enjoy himself with a cup of some good coffee. After that, he could sort out the still existing controverse with her.
Love.
Of course love was important in life, even if he had never experienced it so far. When his parents died and he woke up in hospital without any memory, he had chosen education to be essential to him. Fortunately, he inherited enough money and had been able to live a wealthy life so far but it never had been enough to him. He was fairly aware of that this love issue was a huge gab for him and strangely enough, there were a hand full of people who had the potential to fill up this missing part. He would never ever admit this to anybody though that he had developed a soft spot for a certain blonde Odango. Furthermore, the melody of the star locket Kousagi kept playing at least once a day, surrounded him every time and he always felt a strong desire to understand its carried message he perceived through each single tone.
Those things Mamoru had running through his head when he walked through the Juban district with Kousagi babbling cheerfully next to him. When they turned a corner, a loud scream was heard by them.
In a heartbeat he hurried over and was confronted with a dramatic scene; In the garden of a children's playgroup were babies and women crying, some of them lying unconscious. He recognized Usagi and her blue haired friend he met at the Game Crown Center casually. Both were fearfully watching a monster which was about to escape from the place where it had caused so much pain.
This cruel being looked similar to the one he made acquaintance of at the VR theatre.
'So it probably wasn't just my imagination?' he stated in his mind.
Kousagi, still standing at the corner, got out of her state of shock when she heard Mamoru shouting
„Call an ambulance, hurry up!"
He didn't address anybody in particular but the teenager felt obliged to step into action. Highly concentrated, she pulled out her white magic ball, threw it high into the air and cried out.
„Artemis T - Transform!"
As fast as she could she got into the white car, seated herself behind the wheel, pushed the start/stop button and activated the siren. With squealing tyres she drove the 20 meters and stopped directly next to the three witnesses of the former attack.
„You called the ambulance, here I am. Sooo what happened?"
Kousagi tried to look as professional as she thought a paramedic would look like. She had never seen one in her life and thus had to rely on the white cat ball's capabilities. Apparently she did not really meet the expectations when she looked at Mamoru who was about to freak out any moment. In complete disbelief he uttered
"What the-"
He was cut off by Usagi and Amy who didn't care about the poor performance of Kousagi but rather seemed to be relieved
„Wow, that was quick!" Usagi happily spoke.
Amy tried to lift up a woman who was lying on the ground unconsciously. Next to her was a toddler, crawling vividly.
„I think this one had been injured the most. We need to take her first to the hospital." The blue haired genius recommended while she was checking the pulse of the woman.
Mamoru picked up the baby and beamed at Kousagi. He mumbled to her so that the other girls didn't hear it.
„You are unbelievable. In any way!" He turned his gaze back to Usagi and Amy and ordered.
„Let's get them straight to hospital. Amy, would you mind checking the medical devices? I'll have a seat next to the luna...to the paramedic."
„Of course Mamoru, I'll take care. Don't worry. Usagi, let's go."
„Err no need for that. I have some doctors in the back of the car." Kousagi hectically explained. ‚Well, they were only made up dummies by my cat ball but anyhow.'
The drive to the hospital didn't take long. When Mamoru insisted to drive the ambulance, Kousagi assured him that this was not a normal vehicle. All she had to do was to steer. The rest was done by Artemis T. By trying to play down the fact that she was way too young to drive a car, Kousagi did not calm Mamoru at all. However, he was thankful to found the Artemis T ambulance well equipped with blue lights and a siren so the other road users were warned at least. The white cat ears sticking out of the car roof he simply ignored.
They arrived five minutes later in front of the entrance where two nurses and a doctor, who showed a certain familiarity to Amy, already expected them.
„Mama" Amy greeted her mother once they got out of the ambulance „There was an attack at the Juban kindergarden. The pulse of the woman is very weak, we need to hurry up!" Dr. Mizuno took a serious face and with a waving gesture she instructed the two nurses to follow them. Mamoru, Usagi and Amy did the same and left a puzzled Kousagi back at the entrance hall.
„Err, you are welcome!"
She rolled her eyes and trotted slowly after them. Since she did not have a clue in which room all of them went, she decided to stay in a corridor and seated herself onto a free stool.
After half an hour later, a door was pushed open and Kousagi gapped at the past selves of her parents who stepped out of the room. They held a baby in their arms.
„Ooookaaaayyy" She closed her mouth and frowned „Have I jumped through time?"
„What?" the couple echoed to her.
‚Right, no time warp. Oh my God, they want to take the baby!!!'
Kousagi blocked the way, crossed her arms and started to tell them off: "You know that you are guilty of an offence when you kidnap a baby. If you want one why don't you make one by your own? It is not that of a problem. I mean, look at you, it's not that you haven't done this with each other a million times and yes, I know the facts of life, the bees and the flowers stuff, I am almost fifteen and I really want you to consider that committing a crime like this mustn't-"
„Shhhhhhhhhh!" She was - again - cut off, this time surprisingly by her future mother. Usagi gave her an irritated look and explained.
"You have to be quiet, Manami is sleeping, look." She pointed to the toddler lying peacefully in her arms.
"We are not about to do any of what you've just mentioned, I volunteered to baby sit Manami while her mother is injured. Her father is abroad and she has no other relatives here. Usagi will help me."
Mamoru shrugged his shoulders innocently and added with a slight smirk and sung meaningfully to her „You have to know, I am a perfect baby sitter!" He turned his eyes to the blonde one and went on further „Odango, shall we go?"
Kousagi gapped again. She never ever had thought that her father could be like this. 'Well, I am really looking forward to the upcoming days. They will be fun!' Kousagi clapped her hands together in excitement, turned around and headed off to the opposite direction. She could not hear Usagi when she looked up to Mamoru and spoke with an bewildered voice
"Did the paramedic say that she is almost fifteen? How come she can work in this profession and is even able to drive an ambulance?!"
