Kameko, a fourteen-year-old girl, looks out from a mountain a little ways away from Tokyo. The wind blowing her wavy, dark brown hair back as her eyes look at the twinkling lights shining from Tokyo. She has come here by order of Queen Gaia, mother and goddess of the Earth, on another mission. Once again, the sweet planet that she grew upon was under attack. Unlike before, however, the people threatening the earth were going to weaken the protectors of it first. Sailor Moon and her senshi are the ones in trouble this time and if the enemy got to them, the world would suffer for it. Kameko couldn't allow this, for she is a senshi herself, but not one of Sailor Moon's. She is Sailor Earth, an older senshi of a time before Sailor Moon or her senshi were around. A time that she misses so dearly, but knows she will never see again.
Kameko sighs, looking up at the dark sky. She is in her sailor outfit that resembles the first version of the senshi's outfits. The skirt has one thin lateral green stripe on the bottom of the mostly white skirt and an equally thin lateral blue stripe on top of it. The back bow is green while the front bow is blue and so are her gloves that have no covering over the fingers. The sailor collar consists of three blue stripes that are separated by two green stripes. Her choker and gem in the middle of her golden tiara are both green while her earrings and high heel boots that zip up the front are blue. The rest of her sailor uniform is white. In her hands is a three foot long staff that on the top has the features of a cobra that has green eyes and a blue color for the inside of its hood. The staff seems to be made of wood from the looks of it.
Kameko looks at her staff and it instantly shrinks, turning into a small amulet. She raises it above her head, looking up at the sky.
"Powers of the Earth, transform me into a student of this time!" Kameko yells, closing her eyes as she does.
A beam of a mixing blue and green light forms around her, turning her sailor outfit into a uniform of a Juuban Junior High student. She smiles, looking at her outfit as she gets out a gold chain. She places the chain through a small hole on the top of her staff and clasping the chain around her neck. She looks once more up at the glimmering lights of Tokyo Japan.
"Once again, the senshi will meet me, and possibly never again," Kameko says, sighing as she walks down the mountain, to Tokyo, where our story begins.
It is morning at the home of Kenji and Koji Sato, two twin boys who are about as different as can be. Kenji stares at the ceiling, trying to ignore his brother who was still snoring in bed. All those dreams, of the same girl with the dark brown hair and eyes. She was so beautiful, but only a dream and nothing more. Kenji gets up, and walks over to his desk, looking at a notebook of his. He flips it open, moving quickly though the pages of the notebook which will filled with poems, poems about the same girl that he has dreams about. The poems, which he started, writing about a year ago, are the only way he can remember each dream because he cannot think of losing the image of her. She is too beautiful to be lost to time; he refuses to allow that to happen.
Kenji sighs, and flips to a blank page. Another dream, another poem of the girl that is in his dreams. He takes his pen out from his pencil case and starts writing:
'Oh sweet angel of amber hair,
Who haunts my dreams like the ghosts of those who are gone,
What is your name?
For it must be as beautiful as you or much more.
Whisper it,
Yell it for the Heavens to hear,
Just speak gentle goddess.
I wish to hear your voice,
If only for once...
"Whatcha writing Romeo? A love letter?" asks a voice behind him that causes Kenji to jump. He turns around, seeing Koji, a perfect match to him except his brother likes his long blonde hair in a ponytail, while Kenji prefers it free and flowing. Kenji grumbles, closing his notebook as Koji laughs.
"Oh come on, you write in that notebook every morning, its like you are addicted to just writing in the morning," Koji says, looking into the matching gray eyes of his brother, "Now come on, we have to actually go to school today, then its the weekend!"
Kenji nods bitterly, another weekend of Koji and his friend, Hiroshi, coming over to their house just to play video games till their mom unplugs the Playstation 2 or whatever they were using that moment. It is extremely annoying, mostly because Kenji isn't allowed to play because "He is too much of a girl" being the quote from Hiroshi. Kenji sighs, if they let him play, maybe he wouldn't be such a girl, but they are obviously too stupid to see that. Hiroshi's failing grades show it, Koji is lucky it isn't contagious. Kenji sighs, shaking his head as he goes off to get ready for school.
Kameko sighs, it was raining, not a good thing when you are walking to school. Lucky she has a parasol with her, a bright green one; her mother knew what to do to prepare for the surface. Queen Gaia has planned everything for this, it was amazing what she could do, and all without suspicion. Her mother has made sure that she has a place to stay and is at a school for the time being. Kameko twirls her parasol in her hands as she puts on a pair of fake glasses, to hopefully disguise herself from last time and it is just fun to dress up that way.
Kameko's current mission is to find a group of boys, all age 14 and at Juuban Junior High. Those boys were the ones destined to become male versions of Sailor Moon's senshi, the Guardians. She has to have them report to Cherry Hill Temple and meet with their counterparts. She knows she couldn't be sneaking around behind Usagi's senshi's backs, last time she did and the results weren't so good. She almost got them killed back then, she isn't going to make that mistake again.
She looks up, realizing she is almost there. She looks over, seeing two boys walking over to the school with another boy following them slowly behind. The one following the two looks strangely like one of the boys in front, probably a twin. She watches them, seeing that the one following is without an umbrella or anything. His blonde hair is completely wet and so is his uniform. Kameko walks towards him and puts her parasol over him. Kameko smiles as he looks over at her.
"You looked cold and wet, I thought you could use some cover from this rain," She says, looking into his gray eyes.
"Yeah, Koji stole the working umbrella before I could grab it," He says, pointing to the boy that looks similar to him, "My name is Sato Kenji, what is yours?"
"Demetrius Kameko," Kameko says smiling, "As you can guess, I am new here. I just moved here from a pretty far place, you probably never have heard of it."
"Ah, I see," Kenji, says, "Well, its okay here. Kind of dull and boring but alright, the students are okay, or at least some of them."
"Oh," Kameko says as they reach the entrance to the school. She looks around, watching everyone there.
"Hey look at this! Kenji has a new friend!" Koji says, turning around.
"And she is actually good looking! Well, for a nerd that is," The boy who is next to Koji says. Kenji lowers his head, upset by what they were saying. Kameko glares at the two boys.
"Leave him alone, he is helping me out, unlike you two," Kameko says, smiling at Kenji.
"Well Hiroshi, this is amusing and all but picking on my twin is not going to get us anywhere, he's got a girlfriend now," Koji says, turning away and going to the school lockers. Hiroshi snickers and follows Koji to his locker. Kenji sighs, looking up at Kameko.
"Gomen ne, my brother is a bit of a bully, deep down he is nice. He just likes to play tough guy," Kenji says, smiling at her.
"But he shouldn't pick on you like that and just expect to get away with it. You deserve so much better than that," Kameko says, looking into his gray eyes.
"Its alright, his antics don't bother me at all," Kenji says, smiling. He looks at her, and then notices something dangling from her neck.
"What is that?" He asks, pointing to the pen that looks like a carved cobra head with green eyes and a blue color for the inside of the hood. Kenji touches it lightly and the symbol of Venus glows orange on his forehead for about a second. He blinks and touches his forehead, having felt something warm on his head and not sure what it was. Kameko smiles.
"Um, its a special pen of mine," She says, moving it away from his hand, "No one touches it."
"Oh, gomen," Kenji says, blushing.
"Its okay, but we better get going to class," Kameko replies, "Could you show me where room A-13 is?"
"Sure," Kenji says, and starts walking up the stairs, Kameko following behind him.
It was lunchtime for the students of Juuban Jr. High and the storm that was around seems to have disappeared. Kameko sat under a tree. She had been watching students all day, trying to see if they were like Kenji. She knew Kenji was a Guardian, he proved himself to be the protector of Venus. Yet she knew the other inner senshi were here as well, she could feel them. Kameko grabs a textbook from her bookbag, trying to look like she is studying as she looks over the top of her book. Her gaze goes to Hiroshi and Koji, who were talking as Hiroshi played with his Gameboy Advanced Sp. could they be Guardians? It made sense, but she had to double check.
Kameko looks up at the tree she was sitting under, seeing a small brown hawk with light green eyes sitting on the branch above her head. She smiles; it is Capri, her guardian bird. Capri looks down at her, speaking quietly to Kameko.
"So, have you found them?" the bird asks in a feminine voice.
"I found Guardian Venus, but that's all," Kameko says quietly.
"Well, you aren't looking very far. Those two boys, the one with the blue hair and the one with the blonde hair tied up are Guardians, I can see it," Capri says, "I thought you would of known that by now. Has all that time away from the Earth weakened your powers?"
"No Capri, I just wasn't sure about them."
"Or did you get mad at them?"
"Capri..."
"Fine fine, but you make sure you find the last one. He has to be here if the other 3 are," Capri says, taking off away from the school. Kameko sighs, and scans the crowd of students, looking for the last one. Who ever he was, he was keeping himself hidden well.
"What are you doing Kameko?" A voice asks her from behind. Kameko jumps and turns around to see Kenji, looking down at her smiling. She smiles, watching him as he sits down next to her.
"Um nothing much, just reading," Kameko says calmly, smiling at him.
"Well, where is your lunch? It is lunch time after all and you should be eating," Kenji says, looking around for her non-existent lunch.
"Oh, I must have forgot it when I left my ho-house this morning," She says, sighing in relief that she didn't spill that she was currently living in a hotel.
"Well, you can share mine, I don't mind," Kenji says smiling as he unpacks his lunch. He hands her half of his sandwich, "Here, its peanut butter and jelly but its better than nothing," Kameko blushes lightly, taking the sandwich.
"Um, thank you," she says quietly.
"No problem," Kenji says smiling at her as takes a quick bite of his sandwich, "So, how were your classes so far? Mine were boring, like usual."
"They were interesting," Kameko says, taking a small bite of her sandwich as she looks up at him, "Um, Kenji?"
"Yes Kameko, what is it?" He asks, looking at her curiously.
"You know where Cherry Hill temple is ne?" She asks, looking at him.
"Yeah, of course, I walk past it every day when I go to school and go back home," He answers then blinks, "Why?"
"I want you to meet me there tomorrow, at noon," Kameko says, looking up at him, "I also want you to bring your brother and his friend with you."
"Why them? What's so special about those two?" Kenji asks, confused.
"I'm going to explain some things and they deal with it," She says, looking at him as she takes another bite of her sandwich.
"Explain some things, what is going on Kameko?" He asks, more confused by the second.
"I-I..." Bring! The school bell rings before she gets a chance to finish, she looks at him, "I'll explain tomorrow, see you then!" Kameko grabs her books and runs off to class in a hurry, leaving Kenji sitting on the ground confused and blinking.
The rest of school passes by so quickly, it amazes Kameko. She had never been in a school before but she likes this a lot. It was fun learning things, especially with other kids learning with her. Better than being taught by a tutor like what happened in the kingdom she knew and misses so much. She sighs, daydreaming about those old days as she gets to her locker. She packs up her stuff for the day and hurries out, trying to avoid having Kenji ask her questions. This wasn't the time; she would answer his questions tomorrow afternoon. It would be easier to tell him that he was a senshi along with the rest of the guys.
Kameko sighs, walking down the road to the hotel. She had to go through a not so nice spot in Tokyo to reach her hotel room, not what she considers fun. She clenches onto her henshin pen, something she only did when she was truly afraid. When Kameko was just about to make it to the hotel she hears a voice behind her.
"Hey there angel, what's a pretty face like you doing around here?" says the voice. Kameko quickly turns around, seeing a group of three guys were in front of her. Another guy grabs her from behind as Kameko screams and the guy from behind covers her mouth quickly. She drops her book bag in fright.
"Now now, we don't want to cause a commotion, we just would like some money," The guy holding her whispers into her ear menacingly. He lightly touches the chain around her neck, "I'm sure this necklace would give me and my friends some nice yen."
"Off her," a voice says from across the street. A guy with mid length red hair and bright green eyes about fourteen and is in a Juuban Jr. High uniform looks coldly at the guys who had grabbed Kameko, "Don't make me fight you, you won't win."
"Oh come on, like a baka like you is gonna stop us from getting our yen," One of the guys says, "Lets get the fool and show him why he shouldn't be such a wise guy!" The three guys charge at the boy, pulling out daggers from their pockets. The boy jumps quickly out of the way, kicks one of the boys in the shin, and spins around to face the other two. The two guys growl as they look at their fallen friend then back up at the boy.
"Now don't tell me I have to hurt both of you before you leave her alone," the boy says calmly, "I would hate to hurt you."
"Shut it! You're mine!" one of the guys says, charging at the boy. He turns to the side, dodges the charge and punches the guy in the back, sending the thief to the ground. The other two guys look at the their fallen comrades and take off running; one of them dropping Kameko to the ground. The red haired boy runs over to Kameko quickly.
"Hey girl, are you okay?" He asks letting her take his hand so she can get up. She stands up, brushing off the dust on her skirt and picks up her book bag.
"Yes I am fine, thank you so much for rescuing me," Kameko says smiling, "Can I learn the name of my rescuer?"
"I'm Suzuki Takeshi," He says, looking at her, "What is your name and why are you out and about a nasty place like this?"
"I'm Demetrius Kameko, I am staying at the hotel a little ways away from here. This was the closest short cut to it from Juuban Jr. High," Kameko says, looking up at him intently. She could feel it; he is a Guardian as well. It seems the missing Guardian has found her, not surprising. Senshi are naturally drawn to their leaders, it is how things are. She smiles at him, " Well I'm going to meet up with some friends tomorrow at Cherry Hill temple, would you like to come?"
"Sure I guess, I have nothing better to do," Takeshi says, smiling at her.
"Great! Meet me there around noon," Kameko says, " I'll see you tomorrow then!" Kameko says as she takes off towards the hotel, leaving Takeshi unsure if that just happened, until he hears the two crooks groaning. He takes off running, not wanting to be there when they wake up.
