A Star Is Baked

By: MrsUkyoHabiki

Kasumi walked up to Dr Tofu's clinic. It seemed

to be empty so she let herself in. She wondered briefly

why the clinic was always empty when she visited. Dr Tofu

heard her entrance and came out into the lobby to greet

her. However, as soon as he saw her, his eyes glazed over

and he walked right into a wall.

"Oh my, You are so silly." Kasumi laughed. She

left the book she had borrowed on Dr Tofu's desk. Dr Tofu

started talking to his skeleton Betty and Kasumi left.

She liked Dr. Tofu but she wondered why he was so

silly. Why couldn't he be serious just once?

She walked home. She was humming to herself and

smelling the springtime air. Then she heard a loud screech.

A cat? She thought maybe Ranma had gone into

Neko mode again so she went to investigate a the howl.

When she turned the corner, Ranma was not there but several

children were. They seemed to be picking on a small black

cat. Kasumi took the cat from the largest of the boys.

He seemed ready to challenge her then but she stared him down.

He felt ashamed of his actions. He ran away and the other

children soon followed.

"Now now, poor little kitty." Kasumi said as she

petted the injured kitten. The kitten seemed to have a

criss-cross pattern of bandages on her forehead.

Kasumi lightly removed the bandages and a flash of light

made her blink. The cat jumped away from her and ran down

the alley.

Kasumi shrugged and went home to make dinner. The

evening was as normal as it could be at the Tendo Dojo. Ranma

and Akane seemed content to beat on each other in the Dojo while

Nabiki worked on her homework in her room. Kasumi stretched and

headed for bed. To her surprise, the cat she had helped earlier

was on her bed.

"Little kitty? You shouldn't be here. You'll frighten

poor Ranma." Kasumi whispered as she approached the cat.

The cat backed away from her a bit.

"My name is Luna and we have to talk, Moon Warrior."

The cat replied. Kasumi blinked.

"Oh my. Should I get you some hot water?" Kasumi

replied. It was Luna's turn to blink.

"Um no thanks. We have a larger problem. Several people

in the area have been attacked by negative forces and you are

the only one who can stop them." The cat replied.

"Are you sure you aren't here for Ranma, or Akane,

or even Mr. Saotome?" Kasumi replied reluctantly. The cat flipped

into the air and ,in a flash of light, a locket appeared. Kasumi

picked up the locket. It was pink and seemed made for her.

"Hold up the locket and say 'Moon Prism Power'" Luna said.

Kasumi looked at the locket for a moment then held it up.

"MOON PRISM POWER" she yelled almost instinctively. A gold

and pink flashing light descended on her and for a moment she felt

naked. Then she felt a silky smooth bodysuit glide over her as

she seemed to spin in the air. The movements were natural and she

didn't think about them too much. More lights flashed and she felt

a short skirt wrap around her legs and she felt earrings appear on

her ears. Her hair was clasped back in an elaborate ponytail

with gold ribbons. The transformation was complete when a gold

tiara was fastened to her forehead.

"Oh, My." Kasumi said softly as she looked down on herself.

"This is proof!" Luna exclaimed. "You are a natural moon warrior!

Now we must look for the demons who have been stealing human energy

in the night."

"Well, ok. As long as we get back in time for me to make

breakfast." Kasumi replied.

Luna and Kasumi walked quietly and unnoticed from the

Tendo residence. They walked down the streets of Tokyo.

"Do you sense any of the baddies you were telling me

about?" Kasumi asked Luna. Luna just frowned which was weird enough

to see on a cat. They kept walking till they passed a bakery where

Kasumi sometimes bought pastries. She saw a light on and took a closer

look. The cooking staff was already there. Kasumi smiled as she realized

that they must work night shifts to get the pastries nice and

fresh for the morning.

"We have no time to watch cooks." Luna grumbled irritably.

Kasumi was about to look away when she saw an unfamiliar blond man

in black enter the baking area. He held up his hand and black rays

of energy seemed to emit from his hand.

"Oh my. What is that?" Kasumi asked Luna.

"The Negaverse! We must go in!"

"Right."

Kasumi burst into the kitchen.

"Leave these nice bakers alone." She said politely.

The blond man turned on her.

"And just what are YOU gonna do about it." He replied.

Kasumi looked to Luna. Luna mouthed 'Moon Tiara Magic'.

Kasumi felt the tiara on her head and did what felt right.

"MOON TIARA MAGIC" she yelled as she threw her crown at the man.

At the last second he evaded her attack but he seemed to realize she

was dangerous.

"Baguetta! I choose you! Get rid of this pest!" The blond man

said as he faded away. Kasumi thought for a minute that she had won

the day. Then she heard a horrific screech behind her. She turned

around to see a 7-foot French bread product trying to attack her.

She ran desperately not knowing what to do.

At the same time, Dr Tofu woke up from a horrible nightmare.

He had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach that something was wrong

with Kasumi. He had to save her. He began to panic and his glasses

fogged over. A bright light flashed around him and he found himself

wearing a tuxedo. He ran out of the clinic as fast as he could.

Kasumi, meanwhile, was doing the best she could against

the bread monster.

"Curse you baguette monster! How dare you take a delicious

treat and turn it to evil! In the name of the moon, I will punish

you!" She shouted. She ran from the poppy seed attacks of the baguette.

But no matter where she went she couldn't seem to get enough time to

try her tiara attack again. Then from out of nowhere a rose struck the

evil baked good.

"Where there is a lovely lady, there should be no evil.

Especially not the evil of a foodstuff turned against us." a man in

a Tuxedo declared. While the man had the attention of the baguette,

Kasumi got into position.

"Have confidence in your power, young warrior and justice

will be defended." The masked tuxedo man declared as he disappeared.

"Right." Kasumi replied.

"MOON TIARA MAGIC!" she screamed as she threw her tiara at the

bread creature. It exploded into thousands of bread pieces and then the

pieces dissolved into white powder. The bakers seemed to be recovering

from whatever the blond man had done to them so Luna and Kasumi got out of

the bakery as fast as they could.

As Kasumi was running, she wondered why she had felt such an

attraction to the masked man who helped her. Usually she was not attracted

to the hero type and she knew she had feelings for Dr Tofu. If only Dr

Tofu could be as elegant as the masked man who helped her save the

day.......
