Chapter 1 - Where's Usagi?
"Where do you think Usagi is?" Kento asked the next day, realizing that the new blond girl wasn't there.
"How should I know?" Ryo asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Why do you like her or something?"
"Well, she is really cute. Do you think she'd go for a guy like me?" Kento asked.
"I don't think so." Ryo said simply.
"Are you saying that because you're serious or because you want her for yourself?" Kento asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"You can have her, I really don't think she'd go for a guy like you. You're too loud, obnoxious, and you eat too much." Ryo said seriously.
"Hey!" Kento shouted, steam coming out of his ears. "That's not funny!!"
"Ryo-kun, Kento-kun, do you have something you want to share with the class?" The teacher demanded, glaring at the pair.
"Nope." Kento said calmly sitting back in his chair.
"Where is Usagi-kun?" The teacher asked, noticing the empty desk. "Has anyone seen Miss Usagi-kun?" No one in the class spoke, indicating that she wasn't there.

"Why can't I go to school today?" Usagi asked walking into the main room of the temple. She kneeled down beside Anubis who had been praying for the last few hours. "Hello?" She said, waving her hand in front of his face.
"Nani? Why can't you go to school?" Anubis asked, snapping back to reality. "I don't think it's a good idea. Especially now that Ryo knows who you are."
"How do you know Ryo?" Usagi asked, confusion apparent on her face.
"He's an old friend of mine. I don't want to involve him and his friends, they need a chance to have a normal life." Anubis said.
"That's all I've ever wanted…" Usagi mumbled, low enough that Anubis didn't hear her. "When I came here, I thought that's what I was going to get. I can't even go to school so how normal is that?!" Usagi demanded. It's not that she wanted to go to school, it's just that any normal teenager would go to school and would go out afterwards and have fun.
"It's not a good idea. For the time being anyway. There's some sort of force present in this world. I believe you've been sent to help fight it, but I still don't know much about it," Anubis said. "Now, go on, so I can try to find some more out about what we're dealing with."
"Hai, Anubis-san." Usagi said, bowing her head slightly before going back to the room he had given her. She laid across her bed, flipping on the television.
"Who is the great heroine? She was seen with a former Ronin Warrior fighting a great monster," The reporter was asking. Usagi gasped at the picture she saw. It was a picture from the day before when she defeated that youma. "Eternal Sailor Moon, she called herself and she is sworn to protect us from evil."
"Wow, I've made quite an impression already," Usagi commented, flipping the channel. She saw another picture of Eternal Sailor Moon pop up on the screen. Flipping the channel again, she saw another picture. "What is this?! I'm on every channel!" Usagi cried. She turned the TV off, throwing the remote to the floor in frustration. She flung herself back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. "It's so boring." She complained, sitting up. She climbed off the bed, walking to the window. Silently, she slid the window up, climbing out. She jumped a few feet to the ground, being careful not to disturb Anubis. She slowly walked into the city, walking along the streets alone.
"And then she took out this weird wand and said something like 'Silver Moon Kiss' or something like that." She heard a young girl tell her friend. Usagi smiled slightly. She had become really popular fast. She glanced in the window of a toy store, seeing a little doll with white wings and a crescent moon on her forehead.
"Usagi." A voice said behind her. Usagi felt a hand on her shoulder and instinctively, she grabbed the arm, flipping the man over making him land flat on his back.
"Ryo!" Usagi cried, seeing Ryo lying flat on his back. "Gomen nasai!" Usagi cried, bending down to help Ryo to his feet.
"Daijoubu," Ryo said, dusting himself off. "I didn't mean to startle you."
"I'm a little jumpy, gomen." Usagi said, her eyes cast to the ground.
