GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! Sorry on the HUUUGE delay! I'm still here, and I'm still
continuing this fanfic. I just had a massive writer's block. Hm. Okay, I
just made this up as I went along. Gomen. ^-^;;;
// Chapter 4 // Smile For Me //
Rain pelted the school windows when the final bell rang to go home. Masami gathered her things, and headed strait for Nanami's classroom. And there she was, the only person in the classroom, sitting at her desk, scribbling something onto a sheet of paper. "Hey Nanami, school's over," Masami peeked her head over the older girl's shoulder. "I'll have to ask you not to invade my personal space, thank you." Masami stepped back, and Nanami got up, slipping whatever it was she was writing just then into a purple folder. Masami noticed it and grew nervous. "Nanami, please, please, please don't tell me that was a letter to back home." "It's not. I have better things to do than get myself killed." "I hope so." "What's that?" "Nothing. Um.. Nanami, what was that?" Nanami sighed in defeat, and took out the sheet of paper. Masami took it and began to read.
"The noisy bird of nothingness is astir to the eye and flies low
However, I am afraid of the many beautiful stars beneath heaven, and jealous of another
Look over the ground placed on this world when time divides,"
Masami smiled. Nanami had quite a talent for things like this.
To rush to put forth the small things, I must hide my voice.
My true self remembered your face and was touched.
A child raises the spirit of the heart and dispells agony
Masami stopped reading. "Hey, that's good Nanami," Actually, she was disturbed by a lot of the stuff her friend wrote. "But, Nanami..?" "What is it?" "It's kind of creepy." Masami said uneasily. "Why don't you try writing about something happy for a change?" Nanami regarded the younger girl with her usual dark look. "Life is not all fun and games, Masami."
**somewhere in the depths of space**
"There are more sailor senshi on that planet than I have expected. Oh well, I guess that just means I no longer have to search for as many as I would have.." Mariposa shifted slightly in her throne. "Shadows! Come forward!" Three figures advanced slightly, remaining completely covered in darkness. Their eyes twinkled evilly, awaiting any command that would give them an excuse to cause mayhem. "You know what I want. Find them, and destroy them." The three figures nodded in unison. "Yes, Mariposa-sama."
**somewhere in the depths of Crystal Tokyo**
'How can she be so. oblivious.? Doesn't she realize what a burden it is to me, being responsible.?' Nanami's black shoes clacked against the wet ground as she walked down the street. Her grip on her umbrella wasn't quite tight enough, and she quickly became soaked from the rain. 'She's always opening her heart up to everyone. She's going to get hurt if she's not careful.' She sighed, thinking about the poem. It had been something they were doing for music class. She and Hikaru had both chosen to write a song for their project. That reminded her of the upcoming school festival. She had made Hikaru promise to keep it a secret from Masami. The last thing they needed right now was too much attention. She walked until she came to a flower and coffee shop. Something about flowers. Oh, what the heck? Nanami closed her umbrella and went inside. A small girl with short white curly pigtails greeted her with a smile. "Konnichi wa! Can I help you?" "No thanks, I'm just here to look around," Nanami replied as she proceeded to explore the shop. She was examining a few of the roses when she heard an angry high-pitched cry coming from the back of the store. She gasped, and turned around, just in time to see a black-haired girl with the most peculiar hair emerge from a back room. As soon as the black-haired girl was face to face with the white-haired girl, the smaller one shrieked at the top of her lungs. "It was Izumi!!!!" The taller girl looked angry. "How many times have I told you NOT to switch decaf with NON-decaf??!!!" The white-haired girl simply assumed a begging position. "I didn't do it Suzu-san!! Please have mercy!!" she pleaded. "You do it one more time, and I'll just have to eat you, Chuuko," replied Suzu licking her lips maliciously. Chuuko's face turned as white as her hair. "NO!! PLEEEEEEAAAAASEE!!!!!!!!" she screamed, and started crying. Suzu looked around the room, totally embarrassed by her friend, to see if anyone was watching. She noticed Nanami and cringed. She covered her face and mumbled. "I was just kidding, you fool." Nanami watched in astonishment. "Excuse me, is this a bad time?" she asked, slightly embarrassed to be witnessing such a scene. "No, that's okay." mumbled Suzu. Nanami looked closely at the two girls. They looked familiar, somehow. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the entrance. "Nanami-san, you in here?" called Masami. Nanami stood up to face the younger girl. "Hai, Masami." Chuuko's eyes widened when she saw Masami. Before she could stop herself, she let out a scream. Suzu was so startled by her friend's outburst that she stumbled back against a shelf, knocking over several items. "What?! What is it Chuuko?!" The petit girl pointed a shaking finger at Masami. "Her?" Chuuko gulped and nodded. Masami looked right and left, then pointed at her self questioningly. "Me? What about me?" Nanami sighed. "Masami, what did you do this time?" "Nothing!!" Chuuko lowered her hand. "'Masami'? Whoops, wrong person. Um. Please excuse me, I thought you were someone else." Masami pouted slightly. "Don't worry, happens all the time." Nanami was about to say something, when, suddenly, there came an enormous crash from the back of the store. Suzu and Chuuko both let out identical cries of surprise, and ran into the back room. Three blasts of energy came flying towards Nanami and Masami. They dodged them easily and ran behind a shelf.
"Cluster Star Power! Make-UP!!" "Nebula Star Power! Make-UP!!"
Three shadow-cloaked figures stepped out of the dust. Each was surrounded by either a yellow, green, or red aura. The center one looked around. "Come out and fight!" "Looking for us?" The three looked up to see two sailor senshi standing atop a shelf. Each of them had black uniforms on, with long gloves and long boots. "For disturbing the sanctity of this flower shop, I will punish you! I am Sailor Starcluster!" "Sometimes people need a break from the stress and hardships of their everyday lives. I cannot forgive you for disturbing that. I am Sailor Starnebula!" The two sailor senshi jumped down to the floor. The center figure smirked, though it was hard to tell considering it looked as if she was made out of shadows. She held up her arm and shot a golden blast of energy at the two senshi. The attack hit the two dead on, and they went sailing into opposite walls. Cluster stumbled to her feet, more surprised than hurt, and rushed over to help her friend. "Nebula, daijoubu?" "Daijoubu," she replied getting up. Cluster grew a little worried when she saw the seriousness in Nebula's eyes. "They're strong." "Ne. Lots of enemies are strong," Cluster murmured confusedly. Nebula just shook her head. "They're different." Suddenly there came a crash from the back of the shop. All heads (all five of 'em) turned to see what it was. There, in the back of the store, stood two girls in white sailor senshi uniforms. Their fukus were different from each other's, and they were unlike those of local sailor senshi. In fact, they resembled a cat and mouse, complete with tails. The taller one spoke up. "There are those who may sit back and watch others get hurt, but I'm not one of them. I will not let you go on with this!" "That's right! This place is important! And as long as we're here, you will not continue to hurt people!" The three shadow people turned around to face their new foes. "You don't seem to know what you're up against." They said in unison. The three warriors looked at the two new senshi for a moment, and then the center one spoke again. "Only a few more, and all of you will be ours." She smirked, and then she and the other two backed up into a swirling shadow-like warp. Cluster clenched her fists. "Hey, wait!" "Don't worry, we'll be back," and with that, the three disappeared. Nebula looked around the room, realizing the other two senshi were no longer in sight either.
"Ne, Mouse, what's wrong? You know them?" Sailor Iron Mouse looked from her cat-haired friend to the ground. "I'm not sure." ***** O.O DUN DUN dun. lol Gomen again about the delay. The writer's block is starting to go away. What's better is, I'm actually getting psyched because my friends are no longer fighting (so far it's okay), and we all get to be together on the Boston trip! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! And now I'm so psyched, so I can write a lot now. Ja! ~.^
