Chapter 3: The Search
"Have you guys found the one yet?" Luna asked a group of young ladies that had just entered the room.
"Not yet, Luna" the senshi of love said as she flopped herself on the inviting couch. Fatigue was evident on their faces.
"Don't look at me. I am beat!" exclaimed a certain midnight haired man with an upside down black crescent moon on his forehead.
"And here I thought you had some luck, Saffiru," a voice commented as two figures suddenly appeared in the living room.
"Diamond! Usagi! … I mean your majesties," a white cat with the same crescent moon as Saffiru's, Luna, Usagi and the rest of Dark Moon's family, exclaimed.
The smiling silver haired goddess walked up to the white cat and rubbed between its ears. "It's ok Artemis. You can always call me Usagi."
Diamond, the king of both Dark Kingdom and Moon Kingdom gazed tenderly at his wife. Even though they are happily married a month ago, he still couldn't believe that she had agreed to be his wife. What's more, his Usagi loved him.
He still remembered a month after the Dark Moon's resurrection. He was strolling silently in the park, thinking of Usagi when the heart wrenching sobs drew him to her. The sight of her crying broken-heartedly, alone at the bench nearly tore his heart.
She had looked so happy to see him. It was then she told him how that Mamoru-baka and her had broken up right after his death. Since the time he kidnapped her, she had slowly fallen in love with him and been thinking of him.
It was such an auspicious day when Usagi had joined the Dark Moon sincerely and with love, not with hatred and brainwashing like how Wiseman used to use. Slowly, the rest of her senshi joined them out of love and respect for their princess. Since then, Dark Moon and Moon Kingdom had become extremely powerful especially since the crystal Tokyo and the power of Dark Moon had emerged.
Wiseman had been wrong. Love and peace is much better than hatred and war. Ever since the merger of two kingdoms, life had been very peaceful and content. Until recently when a great power of evil threatened their tranquility.
A strong negative vibe had attacked and injured one of his trusted commanders while he was doing his daily patrol. After that, Michiru and Rei had confirmed of their new intruder. In order to stop them, they had to find Striker, the commander of the Sacred Warriors.
The Scared Warriors are the most powerful warriors in the entire universes, galaxies, times and realms. Their powers are beyond comprehension. With a flick of their wrist, a universe could easily be banished if they so wish. All of the warriors are defenders of evil, loyal subjects of Queen Decipher and her king.
And it so happens that the reincarnation of one of them, one of the most powerful warriors, the commander of the warriors, is in this world and time. That is why the senshi, the Dark Moon family are searching every nook and cranny for the warrior.
"Woah! I didn't know that we have a long face club here!" a sandy blond man and sea green haired lady entered the room.
"Well that's because we are doing all the hard work while the outers are having a holiday," Rei scolded as she threw a pillow at the sandy blond man.
Haruka ducked just in time. "Hey I was just kidding. I'm still looking for the one."
"By the way, where are Hotaru and Setsuna?" Emerald asked when she noticed the outers did not come as a group.
"Hotaru has school and Setsuna has work and she also baby sits Hotaru at one shot," Michiru smiled.
"So isn't there any important information that we should know about our mysterious warrior? I mean it could be anyone. Is there any marks to look out for?" the sandy blond senshi asked once he had settled down on a couch that had not been occupied.
Everyone looked expectantly at their frowning queen. "Well, there is a few…" a few words but it seemed to capture everyone's attention.
"First, the powers of Striker mainly consist of electricity. Anything that has to do with electricity."
"You mean his powers are like mine?" a brunette frowned.
Usagi smiled at her dear friend as she shook her head. "It's a little bit like that but greater. When I say anything that has to do with electricity, it means everything. Even to the smallest atom and cell."
"My god! That must be very powerful to control as such," gasped the priestess of the universe.
Even to the smallest atom and cell. Haruka frowned. That is a lot of power. No wonder they say that the powers of the Sacred Warriors are beyond comprehension.
"Usagi, is there anymore information about Striker?" Saffiru asked. Thinking about the powers that this Striker holds suddenly brings a light in their problem of defeating their new enemy.
"There is a certain mark that makes the person to be noticed. On the left arm, right below the shoulder, there is a mark of a lightning blue falcon."
"Why didn't you tell this to us earlier? Now all we have to do is find the person that has a lightning blue falcon tattooed on the left arm," Rei slapped her knee in excitement.
"It is not as easy as you think, Rei. The mark will never show itself and even the holder does not know about it. But what I know is that the mark will show itself when the holder or any of the holder's loved ones are being threatened or harm. Then, a small part of his true self will be unleashed. Unfortunately for us, the holder will not show his or her true self until the time comes," the queen sighed.
A blue haired lady frowned. "When will that be?"
"I don't know," Usagi sighed. Diamond had walked behind her and embraced her form behind. Marveling at his consideration, Usagi leaned against her husband.
"Damn! Just when I thought things are going to get better," Haruka groaned.
Yawning again, Sakuragi tried his best to stay awake. Even though Hotaru once in a while talked to him in class, he still can't help feeling tired. He had slept real late last night since he was busy doing some revision and trying out the chapters that the senseis haven't even touched.
"Bloody hell! This is so boring!"
The sensei immediately stop whatever he was doing and glared at the sleepy eyed Sakuragi.
"If this is so boring, then I suggest you show us how to solve this question," the sensei smirked as he picked out the question that he had not touched yet.
Sakuragi's eyes instantly snapped open. Shimatta! Don't tell me that I had said it out loud! Grumbling at his misfortune, the red head slowly made his way to the front of the class.
"Ganbatte Mi-kun!" Hotaru giggled as the red head Tensai walked past her.
Reading the question, Sakuragi smiled inwardly. "I'll show you, megane- jiji."
Taking a chalk, the red head began writing down the answers.
Wide eyed, the sensei watched in amazement as the troublemaker of the class writes down the answers correctly.
Writing the last calculation, the red head turned around to find himself a gaping sensei.
Sakuragi smirked. "I'm not done with you yet," he mused to himself. Looking around the class, the red head began explaining the answers, deliberately taking over the sensei's place.
"My god Sakuragi! Where the hell did you learn the from?" Yohei laughed as he slapped his friend's back in a friendly manner.
The two second-year students strolled along the corridor to meet the rest of their friends.
"What if I say that I had done those kind of questions before," the red head smiled.
The midnight haired boy stopped in his tracks. Astonishment was evident in his face. "No kidding?"
"Nope. I had been visiting the library after practice everyday for the last three months. I tell its impossible not to learn a thing or two if you're there everyday."
Yohei suddenly let out a hoot of laughter, making all the heads turned to look at those two. "No wonder your mom said that you're not at home every time I called you at night."
Sakuragi gave Yohei a guilty smile. "Yohei, could you please don't let the others know about it. I don't want them to know the new me yet," Sakuragi asked silently.
Giving his best friend an understanding look, he nodded. "You do know that you can't keep it from them for long. They have to know sooner or later."
"Yeah I know."
"Hanamichi! Yohei!" a hoarse forced voice called out.
Plastering a grin on his face, Sakuragi waved back as he made his way to the others.
Sitting on the fresh green grass, Hotaru opened her lunchbox. Two pieces of sandwiches and loads of homemade cookies that Haruka had gotten from Makoto, greeted her.
Haruka and Michiru had just returned yesterday. Seeing the scowl on her male guardian, Hotaru had concluded that the other senshi still had not found him yet. But at least they have a clue or two on the one they are searching for.
"Hotaru!" The violet eyed girl snapped out of her reverie and quickly turned around to find the caller.
A smile played at her lips as Hotaru waved. "Ayako-senpai! Haruko-chan!"
Slowly the two brunettes came and sat beside the dark haired girl.
"Is it ok if we ear with you? The curly brunette asked.
"Yup. I was hoping fro some company," Hotaru smiled.
Fifteen minutes was spent on talks about food, latest fashion, school, basketball and lastly boys.
"I have a hunch that Ryota-senpai has a feeling for you, Ayako-senpai," Hotaru teased as she poked the curly brunette's side.
Ayako could feel the blush on her face. "I already knew that. He even hinted it to me several times but I just ignored it."
"Honto?" Haruko asked as she popped a cookie in her mouth.
"I don't think you ignored it. I think you are asking for more. If possible, get him to tell you his feelings," Hotaru giggled as her eyes glinted with mischief.
Blushing hotly, Ayako denied it. Thinking it is enough teasing her poor friend, Hotaru grinned and pooped in another cookie.
"What about you, Hotaru?" a soft whisper asked.
"Yeah! What about you and Sakuragi?" the excited basketball manager asked.
Hotaru embarrassedly smiled. "We are just friends."
Now it was Ayako's turn to poke Hotaru's sides. "Friends? By the way both of you called each other and him carrying you last week, was more than friends."
Smiling once again, Hotaru firmly stated. "Yes. We are nothing but friends. Honest."
Since the two girls were so caught up in their conversation that they didn't notice the relieved expression Haruko had when Hotaru stated out her relationship with Sakuragi.
Turning around, she suddenly caught sight of a group of students walking towards her and the girls. One of them had red hair.
"Minna!" Haruko waved.
The five boys smiled once they reached the girls and called out their greetings with Sakuragi as the last person.
"Ayako-chan, Haruko-chan," the red head smiled politely. Bringing his gaze lazily towards a certain midnight haired girl, he whispered.
"Hotaru."
Hotaru smiled softly as she took in the sight before her. Tanned skin gleamed in the sun. The blue blazer hug nicely to his broad shoulders. Three buttons from the top was left unbuttoned and white shirt peeked out from it.
The boys sat leisurely in front of the girls. Sakuragi had unconsciously taken a spot across Hotaru and stretched himself lazily like a cat on the grass. An arm propped up as he leaned on his side.
While the others conversed with each other, Sakuragi just closed his eyes and listened.
"Would you like some cookie, Mi-kun?" a soft voice asked amidst from the noisy chattering.
Eyelids fluttered open and the dark eyes lingered on the figure before him. A smile played at his lips as his deep voice answered, "Yes, perhaps one."
Muscular arm reached out to take the offered cookie. Strong calloused fingers brushed against the dainty fingers.
Hotaru instantly drew back her hand when she felt a jolt of electricity passing through her fingers.
Sakuragi was amazed at the taste of the cookie. It has a mixture of an exotic flavor and the nuts add to the cookie's exotic texture.
"A good friend of mine made it. She is a well known chef," Hotaru explained when she saw the look of astonishment on Sakuragi's face.
"Honto?" Sakuragi raised an eyebrow. Hotaru nodded.
Suddenly, something caught her eyes. "Matte Mi-kun."
Reaching out, dainty fingers wiped the chocolate stain on the red head's subtle chin. Bringing the tissue paper higher, Hotaru wiped the corners of Sakuragi's full lips.
Shivers ran down her spine when a strong warm hand grabbed her stretched out arm. Violet eyes met coal ones.
"You have a stain on your palm," the corners of his moth curved.
Hotaru looked at her palm. True to his words, there is a stain n her palm. Hearing the school bell, Hotaru quickly packed her lunch box and wiped off the stain.
She was about to move to her class when an arm caught hers.
"You and Sakuragi are just friends, huh?" a curly brunette teased as her eyes dances with mischief.
Ayako watched as the blushing Hotaru scuffled back to her class. She had watched the friendly display between the red head basketball player and her friend. Only one thing could be concluded. They are not friends, but more than that. And she is going to see that they are.
