Chapter 03: Here comes the Senshis!
Time - 1:20 p.m.
Date - June 22
"I can't believe we'll be living away from Juuban!" squealed the blond-haired Minako
excitedly, and hugging Rei tightly at the same time on the back row of the minivan.
The former Sailor Senshis of the Inner Planets were driving to Sakura Place via a
road curving along a mountain, with Makoto as the driver. Ami sat beside her while
Minako and Rei sat in the second row. Lastly, Usagi was being lovey-dovey with
Mamoru in the last row.
"Ack! Minako, will you stop (gasp!) holding me so tightly? I'm (cough!) suffocating to
death!" choked Rei, as she tried desperately to get out of her death grip.
"Oops! Sorry!" Minako let go of Rei, who opened the window and gasped for air.
"Yea, we've been living in Juuban District for such a long time, so it does seem
pretty unreal." Makoto paused and thought for a moment. 'Then again, we were
the Sailor Senshis, so anything normal to us was actually unreal for everyone else…'
She then became dazed and added, "Hopefully, I'll find myself a boyfriend, since
I haven't been on a date in such a long time…"
"Well, of course you couldn't Makoto," replied Ami, "we were too busy fighting
youmas, the Negaverse, alien humanoids, the future Dark Moon kingdom, mad
scientists, freakish clown youmas, corrupted Sailor Scouts…"
Ami's speech about their trials and tribulations dragged on and on until Makoto
couldn't take it anymore.
"Okay, okay, Ami, I get your point! Boy, you didn't have to say that much!" Makoto
complained in frustration and refocused her mind on driving instead.
"Oops! I'm sorry Makoto. Please forgive me." Ami blushed and looked down in
embarrassment.
Makoto sighed then smiled at her. "Of course I forgive you Ami! It wasn't such
a big deal anyway, and we're friends! So don't fret!"
Ami looked up and smiled back, still blushing. "Yes, I suppose you're right."
Both of them laughed it off. Usagi, on the other hand, was busy flirting with her
boyfriend, Mamoru.
"Oh Mamoru, I can't wait until we get there! I've always wanted to spend a long
time away from my family, especially that annoying brat, Shingo!" said Usagi.
"Aw, come on Usagi, you're little brother isn't that bad!" Mamoru commented.
"Yea," added Rei, who turned her head to Usagi in the back, "and besides, he was
always right about you being a klutz and all."
"WHAT! That's not true Rei!" pouted a chibi-headed Usagi.
Rei rolled her eyes.
"Riiiiight…"
There was a brief moment of silence.
"Anyway… Are we there yet, Makoto?" Minako spoke impatiently.
Makoto suddenly pressed on the brake, causing Minako to fall forward into the back
of Ami's seat.
"Yup, we're here now!" Makoto replied gleefully. "Mina, take a look out the window...
It's Sakura Place!"
Everyone but Minako peered out of the windows to take a look at Sakura Place.
Unfortunately, all they could see was its entrance, which was located at the top of
fairly high slope. A long set of stone steps led up to a gate, with Sakura trees
flanking the pathway. The afternoon sunlight scattered across the steps, indicating
the beginning of summer…
"Wow, it looks so pretty…" Usagi whispered in awe as she held Mamoru more firmly.
"It's gorgeous!" chirped Rei.
"I can see why it's called Sakura Place…" Ami commented, despite the obvious fact.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for?" Makoto chirped happily as she unbuckled her
seatbelt and got out of the minivan. "Let's get out our baggage and make our way
up these steps. Oohhh, I can't wait to see what's inside!"
Everyone got out and began to unload their suitcases, bags, etc., except for Minako.
"Oww… that hurt," groaned Minako as she slowly began exiting the vehicle. One of
her hands was clasped to her nose, which was now red and sore.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, somewhere in the dark void of space, three shiny balls of light floated
near the planet Earth. Inside them were three familiar human figures dressed in
their dark sailor fukus.
"We're back…" Seiya Kou murmured as a sense of nostalgia overcame him. "I never
thought we'd be returning here. It sure has been a while…"
"Seiya, are you kidding me?" laughed Taiki, the tallest of the three Sailor Starlights.
"It's been-what - two months since we left? That's not such a long time compared
to how long we've been searching for Princess Kakyu, which was years!"
"Well, it felt pretty damn long to ME!" complained the Sailor Star Fighter, but he
quickly regained his composure. '(sigh) Usagi… I wonder if she's changed a lot
while I was away? Is she still dating that Mamoru guy? Hmm… I miss you Odango...'
Yaten, the shortest of the bunch, noticed Seiya's depressed expression. He smirked,
knowing who Seiya was thinking about.
"Seiya, haven't you given up on Usagi yet? She's already taken and you know it!"
Yaten teased, taking pleasure in Seiya's miserable state.
Seiya glared menacingly at Yaten, who was smirking at him. However, Seiya's glare
soon turned into a mischievous grin.
"Well, Yaten, what about Minako? There's no way you could have forgotten about
her so soon…"
Yaten's smirk froze instantly and he soon let out a tiny growl.
"What do you mean, 'what about Minako?'. I never EVER had feelings for that stupid,
flirtatious blonde!" Yaten argued hotly.
Whether his face began to turn red from embarrassment or anger, Seiya did not know
nor care, therefore continued on.
"Riiiight…" Seiya agreed sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "Then how would you explain
last night's stop on Ceres, where I heard you call out her name in your sleep- oh, how
many times- ALWAYS?"
Yaten's eyes bulged out in shock.
"WHAAAAAAT!"
"Aren't I right, Taiki?"
Taiki, who was staring at them the whole time silently, let out a small laugh, which caused
Yaten to frown.
"What's so funny?" Yaten asked confusingly.
"Heheh, it's nothing really…" replied Taiki, "It's just that, shouldn't you guys be meeting
Usagi and Minako instead of just arguing pointlessly non-stop?"
Seiya's eyes widened a bit and put his hand on his face.
"Damn it Taiki, you're right! I should be looking for Odango Atama instead of just floating
in space and arguing over Yaten's love interest! Whether Usagi likes me more than as a
friend or not is not important right now. I've already been kept away from her long enough,
and I can't stand it anymore! Kakyu-hime gave me the opportunity to take a break, so I
INTEND to put it to good use. I'm going to meet Odango right this instant and same goes
for you (glances at Yaten) and Minako, so later guys!"
With that, Seiya blasted down to Earth at an incredible speed. Yaten and Taiki stared
at the space Seiya disappeared from.
Yaten's eyes then widened and his face had a furious expression on it.
"Wait a minute! What do you mean by 'same goes for you and Minako'? Hey! Come
back here Seiya you bakaaaaa!" Yaten yelled as he blasted down to Earth in order to
catch up with Seiya and beat the living crap out of him.
Taiki, who hardly moved at all during this little "event", sighed and shook his head.
"Man, you guys…" Taiki soon blasted after them, unaware of the fact that Usagi and
the others won't be at Juuban District, but instead at a location known as Sakura Place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While the Sailor Starlights were flying down to Tokyo, Japan, two figures, disguised in
darkness, were observing them the whole time they were talking…
"How dare those Sailor scouts discuss about Neo-Queen Serenity through her human
name! It's insulting!" growled a dark, cold voice. The mysterious figure that spoke
clenched his shaking fists.
"I shall make them pay for disrespecting the future Neo-Queen Serenity!" The older
figure promised. "Then, I shall make her mine! Mwuhahaha!"
The younger figure sighed and looked at the other person.
"With that attitude of yours I doubt she'll ever accept you," commented the young one,
"You haven't changed much, have you? And if you don't, the results will be the
same as your OTHER two attempts…"
"Hmph, think however you like," scoffed the older figure. "Although you may not realize
it now, I have changed since my last meeting with that beautiful goddess of
the Moon. Well, strategically, at least…"
The younger figure sighed once more.
"Oh man, what are you planning to do this time?"
"You shall see, my dear brother. You shall see…" smiled the older man.
'Aniki…' thought the younger brother.
"Let us go now, my dear brother!" replied the older man as he swept his cape. "We shall
not waste time that could be better spent with my future bride, Neo-Queen Serenity!"
"(sigh) Yes, aniki…" replied the younger brother as he bowed to him.
The two dark figures teleported from space to Japan…
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time - 1:40
Back at Sakura Place...
"So THIS is what our new home looks like, huh?" Rei asked, staring at the entrance of
Sakura Place with awe.
The exterior of Sakura Place, the entrance at the very least, looked like a traditional
Japanese castle, but built during modern time. The place consisted of three levels, and
was framed in light timbers, using a triangular truss in the roof. It was basically a
modernized version of the Kinkaku-ji castle - the Golden Pavilion except Sakura Place
wasn't anywhere near a lake. (A/N: if you want to learn about this beautiful castle,
search it on google!)
"Well, technically it isn't, because we're not actually inside the building." Ami pointed
out matter-of-factly.
Rei face-faulted.
Makoto whistled as she looked up and down the building's front. "Well, at least the
front looks all right!"
"Yeah, it must have cost the landlord a FORTUNE to make it!" Minako commented happily.
"Usagi dear, will you please hurry up here? Or do I have to carry you?" asked a slightly
irritated Mamoru. Despite bringing both Usagi and his luggages to the top of the steps,
his girlfriend still had trouble catching up to everyone.
"Well, it would be very much appreciated if you would carry me there..." sighed a very
exhausted Usagi. She was leaning forward as she was making her way up very slowly.
"Jeez Usagi! When you're not a klutz, you're a slowpoke!" Rei said impatiently, "You're
holding us up you know! We may very well be the last tenants to arrive here."
"I'm walking, I'm walking! Sheesh, you're such a bitch, Rei..." Usagi groaned angrily.
Rei smirked and placed her hands on the sides of her waist in a pose. "Heh, better than what
you are."
Usagi arched an eyebrow.
"Oh, and what's that?"
"Well, let's see..." Rei pondered, placing a finger on her chin, "A whiny brat, klutz, meatball
head, odango, crybaby, scaredy-cat-"
"HEY!" growled Luna and Artemis simultaneously, with the former black cat appearing
out of Usagi's backpack, and the latter white cat coming out of one of Minako's smaller
luggage.
"No offense, Luna and Artemis," apologized Rei, "Anyway, you get my point Usagi? Being
a bitch is WAY better than what you are!"
"Grrrr, take that back Rei!" whined Usagi as she ran up the steps, intent on tackling the
raven-haired girl.
Rei smirked as Usagi charged towards her.
"That's the spirit! Get your lazy butt over here so we can meet the owner of our new home!"
In seconds Usagi made it to the top, huffing and puffing. She was so busy gasping for air
that she forgot to attack Rei.
"Anyway... let's get inside! I'm starting to sweat from all the heat!" suggested Makoto
as she fanned herself with her hand.
The former Senshis, cats, and Mamoru nodded in agreement. They made their way to the
door.
"Now remember Luna and Artemis; behave like normalcats, okay?" Usagi pleaded quietly
to them.
"Yes Usagi." Artemis replied.
"MREOW! (ARTEMIS!)" warned Luna in a low, dangerous growl.
The white cat's eyes widened. "Uh, I mean- Meow!"
"Purrr... (That's better...)" remarked Luna.
The poor white cat sweatdropped.
Ami sighed then went up to the door, which was a Japanese sliding door, and pressed
the doorbell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DING DONG!
"Hibiki-san, could you please welcome in our new tenants?" asked Lulu Sanzou, the landlady,
"I'm busy doing an analysis report right now. I'll meet you and the tenants as soon as I'm
done with it."
"Hai, obaa-san!" replied her assistant resident manager, Amawa Hibiki. "SHE" sighed as
"she" walked to the entrance.
'Why must I dress up as a woman... again?'
DING DON!
"Hai! I'm coming, I'm coming!" replied Hibiki-san, beginning to jog towards the door.
She reached the door and slid it open, greeting 5 girls and a guy.
As her assistant was welcoming them in, Lulu Sanzou was also observing them...
...on one of dozens of small televisions linked to a hidden camera. She grinned mischievously.
"Heheh... So the Sailor Senshis and Tuxedo Mask are the first to arrive I see." Lulu said to
herself.
'Too bad it's only the inner Senshis so far,' she thought, 'and it seems- (Lulu's eyes
slowly wander to another screen displaying the bottom steps that led towards the building)
- that a few more tenants have arrived too...'
The landlady grinned even MORE mischievously and began to write down some observations
that only she (and a few tenants later on) would find quite useful.
Let the chaos begin...
