Storms and Firmament
Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes!



Running on the streets of Juuban with his briefcase was that genius,
Touma Hashiba, obviously caught up in something. He knew he'd get
something lost after that crash with that .. lovely girl yesterday.
But he didn't know he'd lose his cookbook over it. He did need to
cook something from that certain cookbook and return it to school.


Running as well was Kino Makoto, the femininely tomboyish cook, who
seemed to have lost something as well -- it was her physics book.
She figured she wouldn't lose it after bumping into a really cute boy.
But then again, she figured she wouldn't be a superheroine, but we all
know that was proven wrong.


CRASH! Opening the eyes for the azure to meet the jade once again, a
cerise-like colour invaded their cheeks. Before slowly getting up, both
with rather nervous laughs. Little did the two know ...


"Toma .. do you have my physics book by any chance, I need it to study
from it to get a passing grade and go to college." He blinked and looked
at her when he was done pushing water onto his newly made bump. "I was
about to ask you the same about my cookbook when I was done." Makoto
blinked, and took it out looking at him. "I've cooked every recipe in
here twice. It was easy. Everybody loved it .. or so they said." Touma
blinked and looked at her. "Well, Physics is my best subject, so .."
The two said in a chorus, "I'll teach you if you teach me." Cerise filled
the cheeks again. A nervous laugh was also heard again.


"Aha! Kino Makoto! I turn my back one minute, to see you have a new
boyfriend! But then again, that's okay! Because I have Yaten and a boyfriend
too!" It was none other than her best friend, holding up the Three Lights'
keyboardist, Kou Yaten and some other boy, with brown hair, Touma knew him
alright. "Shin-kun!" The boy with brown hair blinked, finally coming to and
looking at the azure haired one in the eyes. "Touma-kun! Did you get jumped
by that pretty girl with the brown hair too? They must be in it together!"
Makoto blinked, and blushed. Touma turned red, out of jealousy of course, but
did his best to hide it.


Just then, a girl came by running and screaming with her boyfriend, with a
strange monster chasing after it. Looking like a Shogun and Youma mixture.
Laughing insanely well of course. But after sensing the powers deep within
the five of them the youma changed target and went after them. Shin and Touma
dove into a nearby bush. Makoto, Yaten, and Minako jumped into the other one
a bit back from Shin and Touma's. "Henshin yo!" Minako raised her Henshin
Wand into the air, and said casually, "Venus Crystal Power .. MAKE UP!" Shin
held his yoroi sphere up, "Buso Suiko, yo!" Soon, the Pretty Soldier of Venus,
and the Yoroiden Samurai Trooper of the Waters stood triumphant. The armored
one leaped out of the bush. The Pretty Soldier sat on the branch. Sending a
heart-shaped kiss at it. "Jupiter Crystal Power .. MAKE UP!" She held the
green henshin wand up, "Buso Tenku, yo!" After the transformation the Pretty
Soldier of Jupiter leaped out of the other bush, while a rather azure Yoroiden
of the Sky stood next to the Pretty Soldier, taking a glance at her. She caught
his eyes, and blushed. Of course, she knew who it was instantly, and he knew
too. "SHINKUU HA!" An arrow was brought back, and then fired at the Youma.
But that wasn't it. The youma managed to bring it's weapon up to the neck's of
the two Pretty Soldiers' throats. A yari was brought smacking the kendo pole
away.


The two girls fell over, although, the green-suited one was caught by the azure
one, who was blushing furiously. "Arigatou doumo .. " after that, was quietly
said, "Tomachan." He smiled at her, "Welcome .. " he said rather quietly as well,
"Makochan" And he kissed her on the cheek before helping her up. "JUPITER OAK
EVOLUTION!" A ballet-like twirl was seen, a storm of oak leaves crashing down
upon the Youma and deleting it entirely. The two Senshi appeared in their normal
forms, as did the two Troopers. Minako stood next to Makoto, and in front of Shin,
and Makoto stood next to Touma, who was next to Shin and in front of Makoto.
