Chapter Two: A second curse
After his classes for the day were over Gaijin stopped by his apartment and picked up Patrick.
"Let's go find something to draw."
With Patrick on his shoulder they left his apartment and went walking around town. After walking a bit he found a shrine that he liked. He looked around and he saw a tree that would give him a better view of the shrine. Putting Patrick down he climbed the tree; Patrick then followed him up and then climbed back onto Gaijin's shoulder.
"Nice place huh Patrick? I think I'll make this my subject."
"Meow."
Gaijin pulled out a sketchpad and some color pencils out of his backpack. After taking off his glasses he started to draw the shrine and the landscape surrounding it.
***
Ranma, Arimi, Usagi, and Rei walked together to Ranma's apartment.
"Yay, we finally get to hang out somewhere besides Rei's!"
"And what's wrong with my place?"
Ranma, Arimi, and Usagi looked at each other and then in unison said:
"Your Grandpa."
A surprised look appeared on Rei's face.
"Every time I go there he keeps trying to purify me. No matter how many time's I've told him I'm not cursed."
"He never gives us much privacy either."
"Every chance he gets he tries to look up my skirt."
After hearing the charges, Rei face-faulted. Arimi decided to change the subject a little to help Rei out of the hole she had just dug herself into.
"So what's your apartment like Ranma?"
"Well it's got two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen."
"Just keep Arimi and Usagi out of the kitchen."
"That's not nice Rei!"
"Does Taylor have any pets?"
"Arimi, you might as well call him Gaijin."
"Why Rei? It's rude to call him that."
"But that what he wants to be called, right Ranma?"
"Yeah, Usagi that what he wants to be called. Why he wants to be called that I don't know. Anyway he has a cat named Patrick. By now he's probably already picked up Patrick and gone out."
"Where?"
"Who knows, he disappears from time to time. He seems to value his privacy so I don't ask."
"He seems to have a serious personality problem. How do you stand living with him Ranma?"
"Gaijin's not that bad once you get to know him, a little strange but he a good guy over all."
"I'll say. He pays the full rent and the other bills right Ranma? How could a guy like that be all bad Rei?"
"Ranma have you at least offer to pay some of the expenses?"
"Of course I have Arimi, the only thing he asked of me is I give him some martial arts lessons. He said the bills aren't much cause of a job he had back home. He needed a roommate because allot of places don't rent to foreigners."
"So he's using you."
"Maybe Rei, but I'm using him too. I'm glad to finally be away from my parents. Not that I don't love them, but living with them was torture."
"Your mom doesn't seem that bad Ranma."
"Usagi, Ranma's mom was the one who made him go to school as a girl."
They reached Ranma's apartment building and continued their conversation as they entered.
***
From the shadows behind the group a black cat watched silently. A golden crescent then appeared on its forehead.
"That was easy, they've all seemed to gather on their own. I need to find Artemis."
The black cat took off.
***
"Meow."
"Something wrong Patrick?"
"Meow."
"You there, demon! Get down from that tree and leave this place!"
Gaijin looked down from the tree to see a short old man yelling up to him. He put his sketchpad and pencils in his bag and took Patrick off his shoulder; he then jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the old man. Once back on the ground Patrick climbed from Gaijin's arms to his shoulder.
"Demon?"
"I sense dark magic all about you, I will not be deceived."
"Dark magic? You mean my curse? You can sense it?"
"Curse?"
"Yeah, I insulted some witches and got cursed."
"Really, a curse? What sort of curse? Maybe I can help you."
Gaijin looked carefully at the old priest. The priest facial expression had change from a stern look to one trying to understand. Well as a priest, maybe he could help Gaijin thought to himself.
"Well it causes me to change."
"How so?"
"Well um, when I call upon magic I transform, um into a girl. I don't tend to use magic much so it's not that big of a problem, but I have been trying cure it."
"I see… can you show me?"
"I'd rather not, I've learned a few spells while researching a cure but I normally get stuck in my cursed form for about an hour. I really prefer not to."
"Please, show me."
Gaijin again looked at the old man again. Then he mumbled some words. A ball of light formed in his hands and then dissipated, as the light dissipated Gaijin's form became smaller, his hair became longer then normal, his eyes change from blue to green, and he was no longer worthy of being called a he.
"There, that's how my curse works. I call upon magic and I change, depending on the power of the spell I stay in this form longer. That light spell will leave me like this for about an hour. Can you help me?"
The priest's face grew stern again.
"I was wrong, you're not a demon, you're a devil I have never felt so much dark magic before in my life!"
"I told you what you feel is my curse."
"I have felt a curse like the one you claim to have and it is no where near as dark, you can not fool me foul devil!"
"I'm not a devil!"
The priest pulled out some wards and Gaijin just walked away.
"Thanks for nothing old man!"
***
At Tokyo Tower a garbage can glows and transforms into monster of a sort, and then starts attacking people. A young man with spiked black hair actually fights back but gets tossed aside like a rag doll.
***
As Gaijin continued to walk away from the shrine she felt a strange tingling.
"What was that?"
On Gaijin's shoulder Patrick looked up, a gold crescent moon then glowed on his forehead.
"It's started."
Gaijin looks at Patrick and then rolls her eyes.
"Okay maybe there is something wrong with me."
"No there isn't, but we should hurry to the source of that feeling."
"I can hear you speaking in plain Japanese, and you say there's nothing wrong with me?"
"I'll explain later. Just hurry to where that feeling is coming from, fast."
Gaijin started running in the direction of the feeling.
"Why am I doing this?"
"What you feel is a youma, you're going to have to stop it."
"What?!"
"Ever watch Sailor Moon?"
"White talking cat with a gold crescent on his forehead telling me I have to fight a demon, your not gonna tell me I'm supposed to be a senshi next are you?"
"I won't if you don't want me to, but you are."
Gaijin mumbled some words and she started to fly. Patrick dug his claws into her shoulder, and then noticed that no one seemed to see them.
"What did you just do?"
"An invisibility spell and then flight spell, flying is faster then running and that feeling seem to become from Tokyo Tower, which is a bit of a ways from where we are."
"That would make sense, our enemy feeds on chaos energies and a tourist attraction would be a good place to attack."
"Great, so when do you give me the item to transform into a senshi?"
Patrick went over in his head what he would have to do to summon the item for Gaijin, then he looked down.
"Once we land."
***
Gaijin landed on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower. From a lower floor screams could be heard. She took Patrick off her shoulder and put him down. Patrick did a complicated backflip and a pen appeared out of nowhere. Gaijin grabbed it.
"Venus right?"
"Right."
"You owe me a big explanation after this."
"I know, just hurry, the longer you wait, the more energy the enemy gains."
Gaijin held up the pen and shouted 'Venus Power Make Up', a transformation sequence later she and Patrick became visible and people took notice of the red haired girl dress like Sailor Venus. Patrick jumps back on her shoulder and she ran to the source of the screams.
***
The youma had been terrorizing everyone in sight and the young man with spiked black hair had tried a few more times to stop it. Now the youma held a young woman in its grip and was about to toss her off the tower.
"Hey You! Trash Man!"
The youma turned to see Sailor Venus. Its free arm transformed into a type of weapon and launched several wads of trash at her. Sailor Venus quickly dodged them and managed to rescue the young woman from the youma at the same time. The now aggravated youma's looked at its opponent. It then transformed one arm into a sword of a sort and it rushed her. Not sure what to do Sailor Venus threw a light spell into the youma's face. Blinded it stopped it's rush and transformed it sword arm back into a hand and then rubbed it's eyes.
"Okay, since you're not in the mood for talking either let's just finishes this. Crescent Beam!"
Before the youma could react the attack passed through its body and it was vaporized. Sailor Venus then mumbled something and then she vanished from sight as well. Mostly everyone watching what had just happed stared in shock, some thought it was a stunt to advertise a new Sailor Moon series, a few thought it was too real to be a hoax. The young man with short spiked black hair just ignored everything and walked away.
"Geez what kind of super hero doesn't give a speech."
***
On the roof of a building not to far from Tokyo tower Gaijin and Patrick appear.
"You said you knew a little magic because of researching a cure for you curse. What does flight, invisibility, or even that light spell have to do with finding a cure for your curse?"
"I said I learned a few spell while looking for a cure I never said they had anything to do with it. It's just fun to fly or become invisible. Now back to more important matters, why is it I'm Sailor Venus? If you dare say I'm her re-incarnated I will hurt you."
"Well no your not her re-incarnated, her soul sought a kindred spirit and chose you to give it's powers to."
"What?"
"It's a very long story, I'll give you full details after the others have had their powers awaken."
"Great, just what I need, I'm a magical girl now. I wonder how long I'll get stuck like this just for transforming."
"………..You may not change back. You did tell the priest that the power of the spell determines how long you're like that right. Well the transformation magic is quite powerful. The glamour spell that will keep people from recognizing you is a high level spell itself, not to mention the other spell that are cast as your transforming."
Gaijin looked at Patrick and started fuming.
"WHAT!!! Patrick I better be able to change back! I'm a guy! I don't want to be stuck like this forever!"
***
Outside a television shop a young man watched a report about what had happened at Tokyo tower. He stroked his red goat-tee and then turned his back from the window and started walking away from the store. On the back of his jacket was a red cobra pattern.
" Sailor Senshi? You've got to be kidding me. "
As he left one of the televisions in the window glowed.

Gaijin will always mumble the words to his/her spells cause for now I'm too lazy to come up with words for them.
Unless otherwise noted everyone is speaking Japanese, are for when someone is speaking a langue other than Japanese.
