Chapter Three: Back to the Future
Tsukino Usagi wailed to herself as she realized she was late for class. She quickly dressed and headed off to Juuban High School. In the middle of all the commotion, not only had she forgotten her lunch, but she also ran straight into a senior whom she had seen several times on campus. Seen is an understatement. Drooled over is more accurate.
"Watch where you're going," the senior growled at her.
"I--I'm sorry," she explained, "I was late for class, then I realized I forgot my lunch and now…"
He cut her off. "And now you and I are both going to be late for class." The senior began to walk into the school, but Usagi caught up to him.
"I'm Tsukino Usagi," she said, sticking her hand out to introduce herself. He looked down at her skeptically. "Chiba Mamoru," he replied. He made no move to shake the girls' hand. Instead, he just walked into the school, with the little freshman trailing behind. "Do you need anything else?" His voice was sharp and cut straight through her.
"No, I guess not," she said, turning, and headed towards her homeroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi thought to herself as she quietly ducked in a janitor's closet. "I knew it would be him as soon as I felt his energy. Hmph, seems that Victoria decided to make sure they all had different names, probably knowing we'd come looking for them. No matter," she smiled to herself, "if he is who I know he is, chances are he's friends with the reincarnated Reia."
Her thoughts were cut off as she got a call on a tiny communicator she kept in her subspace pocket. Oh, for the love of Metallia, she sighed. "What do you want?!" she screamed. Her mother's face appeared on the screen.
"I know you met Erik today, Corinna, and he has this strange aura about him. Not the same one he had during the Martian Kingdom. We'll get to him, through his dreams. He is strong, and when he begins to have memories of his Princess, that is when we begin our work. For now, keep an eye on him and keep an eye out for Reia. I'm going to have Kenion do some research and see if there is an easier way to find this princess. But for now, blend in as much as you can, and find out anything and everything about Mamoru. Meanwhile, I'm going to try to lure Reia out of hiding…"
Her daughter nodded her head. "I will do my best mother. And what do you mean 'lure her'?" When she got no reply, she quickly closed the communicator and mumbled to herself "Fucking bitch."
"I heard that!" her mother's voice resounded in her head. "Yeah yeah," Usagi thought, "whatever." She emerged from the janitor's closet, thankful that no one had seen her do so. "This is going to be harder than I thought."
She sighed and ran to homeroom, where she knew she would get the scolding of a lifetime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Across the city, Hino Rei, was busy cleaning up the temple. "No good little fuckers," she mumbled to herself, referring to her grandfather's karate class. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain race through her body, and she instinctively knew what it was. She quickly ran to the scene to find this disgusting-looking, skeleton-like monster attack a bunch of innocent people. She stood there, mouth open, feeling helpless. Suddenly, one of the temple ravens flew and landed on her shoulder. "You know what to do" she heard in her head. She looked at the raven, "Phobos?" The raven seemed to nod at her.
Out of nowhere, a red, star-shaped wand appeared in front of her. She grabbed it, and words escaped her that she never knew were in her vocabulary "Mars Star Power, MAKE-UP!!!" She was engulfed in a glowing red light, and when the light disappeared, she was wearing a white fuku with a short red skirt. On her hands she wore white gloves that went all the way up to her elbows. When she looked down, she noticed she was wearing red stilettos. On her forehead was a red jewel that sat in the center.
Mars knew what to do, and she was prepared to fight this monster to the death. She shot a blast of fire from her hands that sent the monster flying. The skeleton creature hit a nearby wall and disintegrated. Before the crowd could approach her, Mars took off running, the raven following close behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei looked down at her hands as she realized that she possessed an even greater power then the Temple spirits even gave her. She didn't know what had happened, all she knew was that she had a talking raven, and a great power. Then her memories came flooding back to her.
A beautiful palace lined with trees and rose bushes. A black stallion that would only let her ride him. A general of an army who had loved her dearly. And a blonde haired princess who had destroyed all she knew.
Rei shook her head as she let the memories fade back to where they came from. "I must be going crazy," she thought to herself, "this is all one bad dream. I'll wake up, and everything will be back to how it was before. Yeah, that's it…" Rei quickly ran inside the temple and into her room to go to sleep and make the dream end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi got another call from her mother in the middle of her English class. The beeping of the communicator waiting her to open it grew faster and louder with each passing minute. Her teacher, Haruna-sensai, approached her desk and glared down at her. Usagi then found herself being thrown out of the class and into the hallway, where she was finally able to ask what in the blue hell her mother wanted.
"What the fuck do you want?!" But it wasn't the Queen as Usagi expected. It was instead Kenion, who was laughing hysterically at her earth disguise. "Your hair…Princess…is the funni…est thing. It looks like a…pair of…meatballs!!!" She gritted her teeth as she replied curtly to her lover.
"Don't you have something important to tell me besides how ridiculous my hair looks?"
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, Beryl wants you to know that she has found Reia and that she is beginning to remember things. Slowly, of course, but memories none the less. At any rate, we're going to erase Reia's mind, who here is known as Hino Rei of the Hikawa Shrine, and then you will be responsible for restoring the memories that the Queen wants her to remember. We will also do the same with Mamoru, only slightly different. But right now, you're main concern is making friends with Hino Rei, and helping her to remember what we want her to."
Usagi nodded her head in response. "I will do my best." On the screen, she saw Kenion's smile. How she longed to see him again. But at the moment, she had a mission to accomplish. She would not fail as she had done the last time. This time around, Corinna, alias Tsukino Usagi, will give Hino Rei the memories that only the Dark Kingdom wanted her to have, false or not. But first, she had to find this Hikawa Shrine.
