Sailor Earth: My burden CHAPTER TWO
Usagi and her family were anxiously waiting in the airport terminal. The plane their foreign exchange student was coming in on was late. Typical. They always tell you to get there, what, an hour early? And now it was a half hour late! Her little brother, or as she had started calling him, Ototo-yugi, was off for the spring to his friends house, so she didn't have to worry about him. She almost missed the annoying little fungus, almost. "Flight 713 will now be unboarding" a woman over the PA announced. "Hm?" Usagi perked up. "Hey Mom, isn't that Tiera's flight?" "Why yes, sweetie, I believe it is," her mother responded. They all crowded in on the flight area and held up a large sign with Tiera written on it in both Japanese and English. People started to emerge from the plane. Time passed. Was she even going to come out? Then, finally, the last person emerged from the plane. "Oh, my!" Usagi was in agreement with her mother on that one! This girl looked like she was a regular mystic! She wore a white, knee-length, loose dress, and a dark green cape with matching boots! Her caramel hair with honey highlights stood out like a pink dress at a funeral. She came up to them, turning to Usagi's Father. Bowing she said, "Excuse me, but might you be Tsukino-sama?" "Why yes I am," her father said, controlling his surprise. "And are you Kore Tiera?" "In English it is 'Core' Sir, but thank you, I believe that I would rather be called that while I am here," she finished her bow and looked at him. He gasped at the sight of her eyes. They were Gaijin alright, in shape and color. They were an intense emerald with caramel flakes. "Um, yes well I'm sure that's nice. This is my wife and daughter," he breathed a sigh of relief as the disconcerting eyes drew their gaze away from him. "Tsukino-san, .?" "Usagi." Usagi shifted as she felt the gaze of this girl, only a year older than her, fall on her and seem to bore into her soul. Then the girl smiled at her kindly and it was as if the sun had just broken from behind some clouds. "Usagi, it will be good for me to be around someone my age. If you'll allow it," At this point she trailed off, and looked confused for a moment, bet then recovered. "I would like it if we could be friends." Usagi stared at her, slightly uneasy, as she beheld the look of confusion and suspicion on the foreign girl's face. "Umm, yes, that's fine. My little brother will be here after the spring break. You'll be sleeping in his room tonight and tomorrow we'll get your things into my room. You and I will be sharing it!" Then, after getting over her nervousness, she returned to her normal bouncy self. "Hey, do you want to go out for ice cream later? There's this great place I know and I'm sure you'll love it! You can meet all my friends! They know I go there anyway, so they'll eventually come! It's sooo cool! They've got over 36 flavors and." Usagi's voice was lost to the mob as the group walked off to the baggage claim, Tiera with a grin on her face. The.girl, although there was something wrong with her, seemed to be a good enough person, so she would give her a chance. She was so carefree, and quite an amusement to watch. I think she'll be a good friend, she thought. The usual crew: Minako, Makoto, Rei, Ami, and Mamoru, headed over to the ice cream shop. They figured that since there was to be a foreign exchange student about their age, Odango-atama would have taken her to her favorite place. Thus they were headed there. As they neared, they saw the all too apparent Usagi hairstyle accompanied by a caramel French braid and they knew they had found them. Rei ran over to her first. "Hey, Odango-atama! Why didn't you call us to let us know where you were!?" Usagi looked over at them. "Hey guys! Huh? Oh, I just figured you'd know where to come anyway!" she grinned. "Do you guys want any ice cream? They all sweatdropped at her apparently all too easy switching of the subject, and then took notice of the girl that hung behind her. She was.tall.and gaijin. They had expected something.well, they didn't know what they had expected, but someone as tall as Sailor Uranus with long chestnut brown hair and the weirdest most piercing eyes they had ever seen was not on the list. She seemed especially nervous, and her eyes were darting around as if she might try and make a run for it. Makoto decided to try and make her feel a bit more welcome. "Hey, Usa-chan, why don't you introduce us to your friend?" Usagi looked startled and then turned around and started to apologize to the girl. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Tiera-chan, I should've introduced you sooner! Minna, this is Kore Tiera. Tiera-chan, these are my friends: Hino Rei, Mizuno Ami, Kino Makoto, Aino Minako," she said as Tiera bowed politely to each of them in turn. She turned to Usagi, and cocked her eyebrow curiously at Mamoru. Usagi grinned then, and hurried to introduce him. This is Chiba Mamoru, my bishounen boyfriend!" Mamoru blushed at that and said something along the lines of: "Usako!" in a hushed voice. Tiera grinned then as Usagi latched onto Mamoru like a vice. Mamoru felt extremely awkward at the moment and tried to gently pry Usako off him. Here they were, acting like this in front of a complete stranger! The girl then walked up to them both and, grinning, and held out her hand. "Hello, Mamoru-san, I'm very pleased to meet you." Mamoru looked at her hand, then, remembering western manners, shook it. The girl's grin widened, and she seemed to be a bit more at ease. Usagi noticed this, and turned to address her new friend. "I don't mean to be rude, Tiera-chan, but you do realize that Mamoru is MY boyfriend, and that that means 'hands off'?" At this, Tiera looked slightly startled as she peered down at the girl in his arms and the other girls were taken aback a bit by her rudeness to the new girl. Mamoru wanted to be slightly harsh with her right there, but couldn't bring himself to do it. He felt a sense of camaraderie with this strange girl, gaijin, though she was. This was someone he would want at his back in battle, someone he could trust his life and honor with, as well as confide in. Why Usako being so rude to this girl, he couldn't imagine for the life of him. Tiera then retracted her hand, but stared defiantly at Usagi, with a questioning glance. "I don't mean to be rude either, Usagi-san, but isn't he a bit. old for you?" Usagi started to answer angrily, while her friends looked on in awe that someone would speak to Usagi that way, but then the girl grinned impishly at her and went on. "Besides, I'm not usually partial to males, myself." At this, Usagi sputtered incoherently, while the rest of her friends boasted looks with varying degrees of startlement and a few of mirth on their faces. Mamoru looked slightly relieved and amused.
