Chapter 1: First meeting
Such....a gorgeous night...
Tenba sat on the balcony of her apartment, moved out of her home for the second time. The first timer was so she could live with Haruka and Michiru when they first arrived, working with them to find the talismans. It turned out that one of them was hers, the galactical bow with a quiver of arrows. Then she was only 16, being the senshi of the Galaxy for a full year. Two years have since passed, her outer friends, whom she found to be much closer to than the inners, gone off somewhere. They really didn't keep in touch. Now she was 18, in her last year of highschool and hoping there would be no...problems this year. It was difficult to keep up with her school work and she needed the best scores for medical school.
But she wouldn't worry about that now. They had just finished defeating their most recent enemy, and she was content on relaxing a bit. There was nothing like a clear night sky to do just that for her, feeling comfortable when she saw the stars. But it was getting late, and she had her first day of classes tomorrow. She straightened up from her leaning position on the balcony, her body twisting as it turned to head for the inside of her apartment. She stopped in mid turn, her bright green eyes shooting skyward as she noticed three shooting stars out of the corner of her eye. She could have dismissed it, if they didn't fall in the same formation and kept so long a light. Her brow furrowed, but she heard no explosion as the taller buildings hid them from site and there were no bright flashes, so she had to figure they were normal. With one last curious glance to the sky she made her way in, closing the sliding door behind her.
A few weeks had passed since that night when the shrill ring of the phone broke the silence of her studying. She looked up annoyingly at the phone, but picked it up. "Moshi moshi?"
"Tenba? It's Usagi. Guess what?! The Three Lights are going to our school!" Usagi and her friends had just entered the highscool, so again she was stuck with the younger ones.
"Who?"
"Oh, come on Tenba! Don't tell me you don't know who they are. Haven't you been watching TV or listening to the radio?" Tenba rolled her eyes. Unlike her younger sister, she was studious and could care less about trends. The only other thing she was into besides school was her motorcycle. She made herself comfortable as her sister rambled on about these three pop-stars, giving an occassional "uh-huh" and "yeah" to make the other think she was listening.
"Yay! Thank you so much, Tenba!"
"Wait, huh?" She blinked. What did she just agree to?
"You'll go with me when I try to talk to them!"
Tenba sighed and grumbled, but agreed then hung up the phone. The things she did for her sister....
The next morning, Tenba waited outside the building, sitting at the bench she told Usagi she would meet her at. She sat in teh uncomfortable girl's school uniform, much preffering the males' like she had worn at Mugen and Jyuuban jr. High. But htis year they had her size in the female's and she had no other choice. Her sister skipped up to her and took her hand, not even giving a good-morning as she lead the way to a massive group of girls. Tenba's eyes went wide, but she thought this might be her way out. "Do explain how we'll get through that."
"That's why you're here." Usagi smiled, waving to Minako and Makoto who just so happened to walk by. "Everyone here knows that you're the top of the food chain here!"
"Am not..." Tenba grumbled. Just because she had started a biking gang...
"Yes you are!" Piped up the overly-chippy Minako. "Now go out there and strut your stuff!" She pushed Tenba forward into the group of girls, and Tenba had nearly knocked one over. She was quick to apologize, but the person she ran in to had changed her face from fury to her own apology and stepped aside. Tenba sighed and stepped forward, making a path for the two blondes and brunette behind her.
"Huh? hey? Why are you all moving back?" asked the medium one. With dark hair and puffed out chest, it was easy to see that he enjoyed the attention. He looked over to Tenba, Usagi, Makoto, and Minako through his shaded glasses and smiled as the three smaller girls stepped in front, introducing themselves. "Ah, three lovely ladies with an old hag as their guide!" Seiya knew well which one was going to give them trouble, and wasn't hesitant on fighting early back.
"Nani yo?" Tenba glared at him, as well as his two companions who each looked like they wanted to be somewhere else. "Watch your tongue unless you want this old hag to give you a black eye. Not exactly appealing to your many girlfriends."
The white-haired one stepped up and grabbed Seiya's shoulder. "Come on, I want to go." It wasn't so much a complaint as a destraction. What Tenba didn't seem to realize was that Seiya was a hot-head. The third, the tallest, stayed silent. The other two began to bicker about staying or going, but he stared at the tall girl. He found it amusing that someone wasn't grovelling at their feet for once. He shifted down his glasses to get a slightly better look.
At that instant she looked to him, catching his vibrant, yet unusual violet eyes. Something seemed to click in her head, but not clearly nor quickly enough. The Three Lights turned on their heels and left for class as the bell rang. Tenba just stood there, watching the brunette. Who...is that...?
