Hey everyone. I'm sorry for the long wait. I finally found
some time to sit down and work on Not all Masks. So here is
the next chapter. And if Haruka's characterization is a little
off, I'm sorry. If you have CONSTRUCTIVE advice, please email me.
Otherwise, enjoy the story.
Oh yeah, and the disclaimer from Irony and Daring is still in
effect.
Chapter 2: So I'm a threat
Crystal Toyko
The woman visitor sat in the waiting room just outside the throne
room. She was waiting to be seen by the ruling couple. Also in
the room with her was a palace guard...who stood by the door to
the throne room, and occassionally looked at the woman with alarm.
After 20 minutes of silence, the woman finally spoke, "So they sent
you here to baby-sit me?"
The slightly startled guide replied, "The king and queen wanted you
to have company while you waited-"
"And Lady Uranus wanted you to keep an eye on me, correct?" the visitor
finished.
The guard shifted uncomfortably. "Oh, don't worry about it," said
the woman. "I know Lady Uranus doesn't trust me. She never did.
She only tolerates me because the majority thinks I'm harmless and
the queen likes me." The woman laughed, "I actually respect her
devotion to protecting the queen...although she does tend to go
overboard. Since I understand her reasoning, I don't mind being
watched like a kyojomochi. After all, I techinally still have a
police record."
The guard, now looking less stiff and more curious, decided to ask a
question, "Why does Lady Uranus distrust you so much?"
The lady smiled, "Let's just say, she didn't approve of my last line
of work and thinks I am a bad influence. I understand. I could see
having problems with a person who always carried knives and routinely
threw them at people."
The Present
As the guard banged on her cell again, announcing that she had another
visitor, Irony was surprised. "I didn't expect to be this popular," she
quiped, as she turned around...to see an unfamilar blonde at the front
of the cell.
"It's a good think you are locked up, kyojomochi. That way you are
safe from me."
That caused Irony's eyes to widden, "Who the hell are you?"
"Stay way from Tsukino-san."
"I take it you know her?" Irony said. "Oh, and don't let the guard's
presence stop you from calling me names. You don't honestly think they
care about my safety."
The woman muttered something nasty in Japanese under her breath and then
continued. "Look, I don't know how you know Chiba-san. He's a big
boy and he can take care of himself. Tsukino-san is special, more
special than you could realize and she needs to be protected from
crap like you."
"What if I said I was broadening her horizons? Everyone needs education.
It's good for you."
"Let me put this in language that you will understand. Listen closely,
nigger bitch. Stay the hell away from Tsukino-san; or I will personally
fuck you up. So much so that no one will recognize your goddamm face.
You fuckin' understand me, you bastard."
"Actually, I'm not a bastard. My parents were married when I was conceived.
They were still married when I was born. However, I am a bitch, and I
have been duly noted that I've been warned, you bitch. Now why
don't you leave me the fuck alone. You wouldn't want to be containated
by me, now would you?" Irony said. "Oh, and by the way, do I get a
name, Ms?"
"Just think of me as your worst nightmare should the government not
dispose of you like it should. You need an image? Think of a planet
ready to crush you. Uranus might be a good one to keep in mind."
- to be continued -
Okay, now all the Haruka fans are going to be a little annoyed at me.
Now think, out of all of the senshi, who would be the most likely
to come to the jail in person to threaten someone. And who would
have the least amount of guilt about it? The answer, Haruka. Hey, I'm
not saying she's close-minded. She's reacting as she would based on
the knowledge that a gang leader had visited Mamoru and had approached
Usagi and attacked her. Why would she be civil?
I'm sorry for the fact that this story is moving so slowly. Thanks for
reading. I really appreciate it.
