Chapter 4: Usagi on the Moon
Gohan approached the tree where he had joined his friends yesterday. As he got closer he noticed a gaijin was already there. Remembering Ranma mentioned his roommate he figured that's who this was.
"Hi, my names Son Gohan, you must be Ranma's roommate."
"Apartment mate actually, we both have our own rooms, I'm Gaijin."
"Gaijin? That's not your real name is it?"
"No it ain't, but that's what everyone calls me."
"Why?"
"Cause my real name brings me nothing but trouble."
Gohan looked at Gaijin a bit closer. His real name brought him nothing but trouble? What was he, some kind of celebrity? He'd have to ask Pan when he got home, she was big into American musicians; maybe she knew who Gaijin might be. Pan's large collection of American music posters ranged from the Back Street Boys to her personal favorite Otaku Supreme. Otaku Supreme was somehow very popular in Japan as well as the U.S. cause all their songs where Anime themes. Wait a second yesterday his sister was complaining about Otaku Supreme's lead singer leaving the group.
"Your Taylor Michel, aren't you?"
Gaijin looked at Gohan displeased somewhat, confirming his guess. Gaijin was the former lead singer of Otaku Supreme. His little sisters bad taste actually came in handy for once. He would have to thank her.
"I suggest you keep your guess to yourself."
Let's see what did Gohan know about Michel Taylor, he was Otaku Supreme's lead singer, he never really showed his face in public (he always wore a hat or a hood and managed to keep his face shadowed), and he was a cross dresser.
"I take it you don't want people to know about your hobby?"
"Gohan, I have never worn a dress when I'm a guy."
"Are you ever not a guy?"
"When ever I cast magic."
"Huh?"
"When he cast magic he turns into a girl. So you are Akuma."
Gohan and Gaijin turned to see Rei approach them.
"Akuma?"
"That's what my grandpa calls him."
"Your Granpa wouldn't happen to be the sort bald priest I ran into the other day would he?"
"Short, bald, somewhat demented priest? That would be Rei's grandpa. Why does he call you Akuma?"
"Grandpa mistook Gaijin's curse for him being a devil. He always exaggerates things like that. For instance he thinks the youma attacks mean the end of the world is near."
"Not with Sailor Venus and Mars on the job!"
Gohan saw Gaijin shake his head.
"What you don't think they can stop the youma Akuma?"
"Why are you calling me Akuma now?"
"Cause Akuma is a better name then Gaijin."
Gaijin roled his eyes at that remark.
"Gohan has a point there, Gaijin."
Ranma and Arimi now approached the three of them. Gohan noticed Akuma looking around for someone or something.
"Where's Usagi?"
"She has a class today and won't get to eat lunch 'til later."
Gohan looked at Gaijin. Despite the fact Gaijin's face had shown no emotion from Arimi's answer, he couldn't help but wonder why he had asked. The last thing Gohan needed was a rival for Usagi.
"Why Akuma are you interested in Usagi?"
Gohan silently thank Rei for her cynical attitude.
"Hardly Rei, I was just wondering where your missing comrade is."
***
Usagi left the dormitory for town. Her classes for the day were over but she had missed hanging out with the others at lunch. Unfortunately it would be a bit until the rest of the gang was finished with their classes. She had read all the web comics that had updated already and now she had nothing to do. (She didn't want to start her assignments until Arimi was around to help her.) Tired of being cooped up in her dorm room she decided to go to the local arcade.
***
Rei sat in the collage library looking up different things about magic. Since she had some time before her final class of the day she decided to see what she could learn about Gaijin's talent. The library had a huge selection of books on the subject and it took her a bit to decide where to start. In the end she chose to see what she could learn about the light spell Gaijin had shown to her Grandpa.
"Interested in magic are we?"
Rei turned to see a girl her age with long green hair. More then likely it was died that color.
"A little."
"Surprisingly the library here has a good selection. What's your preference, black or white?"
"Um, none really. I'm just checking into some things."
"Oh, what sort of things are you checking up on? Maybe I could help you."
Rei took another look at the girl. She was dressed in a black T-Shirt and Blue jeans. Her green hair was worn braided. As far as she could tell she wasn't a goth or what ever those weird Americans were called.
"Um, No thank you."
"Well if you need any help my names Meiou Sakura, magic's a hobby of mine."
Rei looked at her watch and was surprised at the time, she had ten minutes to get to her final class of the day, and it was on the other side of the campus. She got up and picked up the books she had been reading and placed them on a self near the librarian.
"Thank you Meiou-san, I will."
With that she ran out the Library door.
***
It was a known fact that Usagi loved playing video games. It was a little known fact that when she wasn't playing against Ranma she was actually pretty good, not that she went easy on Ranma, he was one of the best. Now Usagi was beating a high school boy and he was getting mad. Usagi figured it was because a girl was beating him. All of a sudden she heard some screams from elsewhere in the arcade. She and the boy she was playing against stopped to see what was going on. What they saw was a creature made up of different pieces of Tekken fighters beating up on the other people in the arcade.
"Cool! Maybe well get to see a Sailor Senshi!"
The Boy look at her like she was insane and ran out of the arcade. Usagi just sat their patiently waiting for a Senshi to show up.
"Excuse me why aren't you running?"
Usagi didn't turn around to see where that comment came from. See didn't remember an older woman being in the arcade, mostly teen-aged boys and a few girls younger herself.
"I want to see a Sailor Senshi."
"I see."
Usagi could tell by the woman's voice that if this were an Anime there would be sweat drops on her forehead. She turned around to look at the woman but didn't see anyone. Then she looked down and there it was. A black cat with a golden crescent on its forehead.
"Does this mean I'm a beautiful solider?"
"Unfortunately."
"Hey!"
The cat did a complicated flip and a pen appeared out of nowhere. Usagi looked at her disappointed, but picked up the pen.
"This isn't the anime, your no more special then any of the others."
"I'm not?"
"Just take out the Youma."
Usagi held up her pen and shouted out 'Moon Prism Power Make Up!' In a flash she was surrounded by ribbons and then was in the costume of Sailor Moon, and her hair even turned blonde. She then made her way to the youma.
"For love and justice, I am the pretty sailor-suited soldier Sailor Moon!"
The youma had taken notice of Usagi and choose to strike at her and she got knocked back into a machine. Quickly getting up she flipped over the youma and decided to finish he speech before it turned around.
"In the name of the moon, I will punish you! Lunar Eclipse!"
A dark blast of energy washed over the youma and it vaporized. Usagi wasn't sure how she knew to do that attack, the words had just popped into her head as she was doing Sailor Moon's pointing bit. She decided it was best she leave the scene so she quickly left the arcade and jump a couple of roof tops until she though she was far enough away. She then jump down into an alley hoping that the black cat would find her.
***
Luna looked at what Usagi did to the Youma and left the arcade. She was actually surprised how well Usagi carried herself as Sailor Moon. Well that was three Senshi down and two to go. Since she didn't sense any more youma she made her way back home. Sakura would probably be wondering where her "Lina" was when she got back from her classes. Despite the name Sakura gave her she was a descent owner and didn't treat her as simply a pet.
***
After ten minutes of waiting for the black cat Usagi decided that more then likely it wouldn't be coming.
"Great how do I change back? It's not like they ever show it in the anime or the manga."
She said that out loud just in case the cat was running late. Se sat on a trashcan and thought about what she could do. Then she remembered one of the American web comics she read. She placed he hand on the blue jewel in the center of her chest ribbon, focused on changing back and said the word annar. Again she was surrounded by red ribbons and her clothes returned to normal. Usagi looked at her watch and decided to head back to her dorm room and then to Ranma's for their study session.
***
Ranma, Arimi, and Rei sit in Ranma's apartment studying and helping each other out where they could. Patrick came out of Gaijin's room and rested himself on Rei's head.
"I take by the fact Patrick is resting on my head Akuma hasn't been home yet?"
"Yeah, he's got a drawing class this afternoon, if you want I'll take Patrick back to his room.
"No, I don't mind."
"That reminds me. Ranma have you invited Gaijin to join our study sessions?"
"He said he wasn't interested."
"And Usagi says there nothing wrong with him. He's pretty much anti-social."
"Rei, he's just a bit of a private person."
"Arimi, with the exception of lunch every now and then and classes, when does he interact with other people? Didn't Ranma even say he's not home much?"
"Maybe he's meeting a girl who knows where he goes when he's not here."
"Some how I doubt he's meeting a girl."
"Why is that Rei? Do you like him?"
"ARIMI! Where did that idea come from?
"Um, yeah, I don't really see Gaijin and Rei."
"Well he seems to be the center of her attention and she even gave him a pet name."
"Grandpa gave him the name Akuma, I just think it suits him."
Ranma saw the look Arimi gave Rei; this particular conversation wouldn't end anytime soon. Then there was a knock at his door. He got up looked through the peephole and then let Usagi in.
"Sorry, I'm late guys, there was another youma attack."
"You mean another publicity stunt?"
"It was not a publicity stunt!"
"Sure it wasn't."
***
In town Gohan left a flower shop that was across the street from the Royal Crown.
"I can't believe they were out of rose."
***
A young man wearing a white T-shirt with a red R on it sat in a booth at Anna Millers looking at a menu. A waitress came by asking if he wanted any coffee, he shook his head and she went on to another table.
"Things have not gone well."
He places a pair of glasses on his face then turns his head to look out a nearby window.
In the back of the restaurant the waitress now finished with he round place the coffee pot in her hands on a burner. She then turns to pick up some orders. After she leaves the pot slightly glows.

Lio's Corner
Usagi's Web Comic reference is from "Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki"
This time I waited for Hiraishin to pre-read and edit first then post the chapter.
Since Sailor Moon isn't a princess in this fic, she won't have the wands. Instead she will have magical attacks like everyone else. Her first one Lunar Eclipse is done simply by doing the classic Sailor Moon pointing(and of course calling out the attack name).
I'm always finding mistakes and improving thing so sooner or latter this chapter will be revised.
