Prologue 1b
When the year 1978 arrived, Norika was in Tokyo and passed a high school. Norika observed the students and using a disguise field she reduced her age to sixteen-looking. She wore regular clothes, and not the uniform and acted nervous, I very difficult thing to do when she was always confident and proud. Her disguise masked her long blue hair and made it appear to all to be a reddish-brown; her eye color was not masked, because she adored her eyes. They also held the wisdom of centuries.
Norika had also made up papers to continue the charade as her new identity of Nodoka Tsuki. Orphaned at 15. Both parents killed in a plane crash. She was rich, having inherited all her parents' money and properties. Had always been home-schooled. Bit of a mischief-maker, but a with a 5.0 GPA (grade point average), basically a genius. Extended knowledge of other cultures from constant travel with said deceased parents.
Over her travels throughout the world and through the centuries, Norika had learned many things including the forging of papers and making new identities without paper trails, being that she had had to change names every 50 years or so, and a few imperfections for believability and to diverge suspicions.
Norika had called the office of the school to inform them of her arrival, but as a caretaker not herself; another way to keep them off the scent.
Once at the top of the flight of steps she entered the property and walked toward the main building. Half of the male populous and a few curious girls, including one Achika Masaki and Kimiko Tsukino, instantly noticed her.
Three guys noticed her to. Noticed her a lot more then the rest. One Genma Saotome, Gray Hino, and Noboyuki Horna, who also had eyes for Achika.
Before Gray or Genma could go over and introduce themselves, the rivals saw Achika and Kimiko get there first. The two growled at one another and then went away.

Norika continued toward the main building when a gentle tap touched her shoulder. Playing the part of nervous she tensed and turned slowly to meet kind, gentle magenta eyes. Norika thought for a second that she saw Ayeka, but then saw this girl had lighter colored hair. The girl's face took on a worried look and she said in a kind voice, " I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. Your new right? I'm Achika Masaki. This is my friend Kimiko Tsukino." Norika relaxed and smiled and said, " It's alright. I'm Nodoka Tsuki. Yes I'm new. I just moved here right after my parents were killed. This is my first time to go to a public school. I've always been home-schooled."
Achika smiled sadly and said, " I'm sorry about your parents. My mother died from a fatal disease. (Happier) Welcome to Tokyo High!"
Kimiko also smiled and said, " Yes welcome. Come on and meet our other friends." Norika smiled and couldn't help but like Achika and Kimiko.
Norika nodded and the three girls went over to another group of girls. The group was just as kind to her as Achika and Kimiko had been.
Soon a group of guys that looked like jocks came over and most of the girls went into the arms of most of those guys. One girl by the name of Ikuko was in the arms of a tall brown-haired guy with glasses. Kimiko left the arms of a black-haired one and said, " Nodoka meet my older brother Kenji. He is Ikuko's boyfriend. The guy I just left is my boyfriend Soun Tendo. The guys next to Kenji are Gray Hino and his twin brother Yoshi. They are his best friends. Gray is Captain of the football team and Yoshi is Captain of the basketball team. Next to Soun is his best friend and fellow martial artist Genma Saotome. The rest are Noboyuki, Achika's boy friend and. . . . ." " Kimiko! He is not! We're just friends." Achika was blushing and Norika giggled.
Norika kept stealing glances at Gray and tried not to start to feel anything. 'Seven hundred years I've been on Earth and never have I felt such a pull to anyone as I do to this human. What is it?' * Princess what is the matter? * 'Nothing Sayda. Anything new to report?' * Yes actually. Princess I feel Juri energy not your own at the place you are at. It is strong, but it is mixed with human energy. Plus I feel a great evil close. Also I just sensed a disturbance in the space/time continuum. Seven of them. One has the same Juri/human cross energy. Be careful Princess Norika. * 'I will. I know the source of the first Juri/human cross energy. Her name is Achika Masaki and she is related to Yosho closely. His daughter most likely. I've felt his life energy and his tree Funaho, for about two hundred years or more. They both are here on Earth.' * When were you going to tell me you felt him princess. You, we could have returned home. * ' I have gotten to love this planet.'
Norika was brought out of her trance by a bell and someone shaking her. She turned to see Achika and Kimiko, and Kimiko said with a laugh, " Come on sleepy-head, or we'll be late. You still have to go to the office to turn in those papers of yours and then get your schedule." "You two go to class then. Which way is the office from the entrance?" Achika pointed left and said, " That way third door on your right." " Thanks." Achika and Kimiko waved as they went to class and a. " Later!"
Norika waved back and went to the office. The principal's secretary showed Norika to the principal's office and said, " Sir the new student Nodoka Tsuki is here." " Ah please have a seat Ms. Tsuki."
The secretary left the two and Norika (I'll call her Nodoka from now on except at a few times) gave the man her papers. He went over them and checked the computer to see that it all checked out, " 5.0 average, a genius, excellent. All right your schedule will be with my secretary on your way out. Take this letter to your home teacher, or your first class teacher and welcome to our school. A uniform has been ordered for you and will be arriving tomorrow or the day after."
Nodoka left the office and grabbed her schedule and went to first class. As she headed toward it she saw three people enter the office and two of them looked oddly familiar and she whispered, " Ayeka. Space Pirate Ryoko. Wha . . .." She saw named persons tense and start to turn around. Nodoka hid her in a veil of invisibility and looked at the two peoples faces. She gasped as quietly as possible and thought to herself, ' It is Ayeka and Ryoko, but how. Why are Ryoko's eyes different? There not glowing red.'
Nodoka was quiet, still, and had hidden her power when she saw Ryoko teleport above her, followed by many tiny logs surrounding the area. Nodoka mentally laughed as the tiny logs started to spark with power and she thought to herself, 'That girl never learns I tell you.' Without releasing or showing any energy Nodoka formed an invisible barrier around herself.
The energy of the tiny logs sparked and shot around the area that Nodoka occupied without hurting her.
After that the energy stopped and Ayeka said to Ryoko, " I guess we were hearing things Ryoko, but I could have sworn I heard that soft voice before." " Sure princess, but I know there was someone here."
The two left and went into the office. Nodoka dropped her invisibility and the barrier. She ran toward class and didn't realize that Ayeka had left a spy log. It recorded her and saw right through her disguise field and suddenly the log guardians Asaka and Tomadaka and they said in shock, " Princess Norika. She is alive. We better get back to Washu." Suddenly they disappeared and the spy log got it all.
