Well, I'm back and you know the disclaimers already. I fell kind of lazy writing it. Sorry. Here's chapter 8.
Chapter 8: The Tour
Meanwhile: With Usagi's Group.
"And this is the weapon room." Sakura said as she and her sisters opened to massive doors which showed a humungous room inside. The three sisters were giving Usagi and the rest of the group, including the Three Lights, a tour around the castle-like mansion so that they can be familiar with their home. So far they had showed the lavatories, which were like restaurant's restrooms, the kitchen, which looked like a kitchen for extravagant restaurants, the spring room, which looked like one you find in those outdoor hot spring bath inns, complete with flowing bamboo pipelines, the game room, which looked like the Crown Arcade only with more games, and the casino, which looked like a Las Vegas hotel casino, complete with slot machines, roulette table and card tables. Now they were showing the weapon room. It was a room that had weapons ranging from cavemen spears to medieval rapiers on the walls and shelves from ancient crossbows to Italian pistols to high-tech laser guns. All weapons were looking in good condition.
"Father loves to collect these and rebuild them, or he just tries to upgrade and keep them in good condition." Shiroma said as she gave them a sinister smile. "We also love to use them in combat. It feels nice to inflict pain to the enemy." The others felt a chill on their spine as Shiroma looked at them with her smile, like she was about to kill them all. "And soon, we will build an empire and my family shall take over the world! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" Everyone got scared at her laughter, except Hotaru. She though it was very inspiring, in a 10 year old sort of way. That is, until Sakuya hit her head to stop her laughing.
"Shiroma, knock it off." She said disapprovingly. "You're scaring the guests."
"I thought it was great." Hotaru commented.
"Thank you, Hotaru. You are a true patriot." Shiroma stated as she held Hotaru's hand with teary eyes. Sakuya looked at them.
"Don't use words that doesn't make any sense." She stated and then the group "We can come in if you like." They all went inside the room and Ami and Taiki couldn't help but stare at each gun that looked like a priceless treasure.
"Oh my god, this is a P99 Walther semi-automatic." Ami stated staring. "Only 3 were ever made in the world."
"Yes, and we have all 3 of them." Sakura stated, surprising the group.
"Oh my, an Italian Beretta M1934 handgun, a MM1 grenade launcher and a SP12 shotgun." Taiki said as he looked at the three girls. "These must have cost a fortune."
"You both sure do know your weaponry." Sakuya stated with a smile. "The handguns cost around 1.5 million US dollars each…"
"1.5 MILLION US DOLLARS!" The group screamed.
"…the grenade launcher's about 100 million US dollars," Sakuya continued ignoring the screams. "…and the shotgun costs about 250 million US dollars." She concluded, nearly laughing when she saw the white faces.
"Umm…what does your father do for a living?" Rei had the courage to ask.
"He does various jobs." Sakura replied. "He works as a chef for 15 different classic restaurants. He's designs building structures for various companies. He even contributes and works for free in local orphanages. But most of all, he designs military weapons for the government, all in which in turn makes the profits the country pays us 500 thousand US dollars per week."
"F-F-F-FIVE THOUSAND US DOLLARS!" the group yelled.
"Yup." Replied Shiroma cheerfully as she gestured the others to leave the room and follow to the next one.
"B-b-b-but he's a student in our school, isn't he?" Makoto said questioningly.
"Oh, that? Well…" Sakura started. She looked at the next room. "That question can only be answered in this room." She opened the doors and the sailor team couldn't believe their eyes. The room look like you typical living, except with the various diplomas and gradation certificates and medals plastered on the walls. All which have the names of the Kaioh sisters and their father. "This is the graduation room."
"Graduation room?" Everyone said with questioning looks.
"This room is where we keep our graduation certificates." Sakuya explained, looking unsurely at her two sisters, they both nodded. "You see, we, Shiroma, Sakura and I, are already college graduates." The group looked at them in disbelief.
"You're kidding, right?" Seiya asked with a funny expression on her face. The sister shook their head and pointed to one of the walls. The group looked and couldn't believe it. The names Shiroma, Sakuya and Sakura Kaioh were printed on the various master degree certificates of one of the esteemed colleges of Tokyo: Tokyo University and other colleges as well.
"Convinced?" Sakura asked, looking at the group, who were gawking at the diplomas. "You know, our father is a college graduate too." As she pointed to the opposite wall, they rushed to that wall and couldn't believe it.
"B-b-b-but… he's a high school student." Minako countered.
"Oh sure, he is at the age of high school student." Sakuya reassured her. "And we were adopted, so you don't have to worry about our father being married yet." She said this casually as she could hear sighs of relief, but it was cut short.
"W-w-w-what!" The girls stammered. "U-u-u-u-ummm…." The three sisters laughed at this.
"Oh, you don't have to worry, we won't be angry." Sakura reassured. "But…" she smiled softly. "If it was possible, if one of you do get married to our father, we wished he would be happy about it."
"You girls…" Usagi murmured.
"Oh well, on to the tour." Shiroma exclaimed as they moved on the hallways. They walked on to a hallway with three doors next to each other. They stopped at a bright red door. On it was a symbol of a fire ball. "This is my room." When she opened the door, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The room looked like the inside of a volcano: red fire wallpaper, lava lamps on the desk, but what really surprised them was the various Sailor Uranus posters hanging on the walls.
"Uh?" Minako looked dumbstruck. "You like Sailor Uranus?"
"Of yeah… isn't she the greatest…" Shiroma looked like she was in her own world. "That style…that look…the way she defeat opponents…" she was turning around as she mentioned more while the sailor team sweat dropped. "There's no doubt, Sailor Uranus is the greatest soldier."
"Hold it!" Sakuya interrupted, surprising everyone as she opened the deep blue door, clearly her room. "What do you mean? Clearly it is Sailor Neptune who is the greatest." The sailor team could see the various Sailor Neptune posters on her aquatic-like room.
"You're both wrong." Sakura intervened. "It's Sailor Pluto who is the greatest." And she opened her door, a dark green door, to reveal a room that was like the sky, with Sailor Pluto posters on her wall.
"Uranus!"
"Neptune!"
"Pluto!"
"Uranus!"
"Neptune!"
"Pluto!"
"GRRRR!" And the three started fighting with the sailor team sweat dropping on this.
"Wow… didn't know Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna had such devoted fans." Makoto whispered to Rei.
"Kinda makes you wonder if we have fans, huh?" Rei whispered back as they all watched the fighting, which was interrupted by a PA system on the wall.
"Will the guest of Lord Tenkou and Ladies Shiroma, Sakuya and Sakura please go to the dining room for dinner?" A woman's voice, clearly recognizable as Lenneth's, announced. "And yes, it is time to go, Lady Shiroma, don't think about sneaking to the danger room again." Shiroma blushed at that.
"Dinner!" Usagi yelled as she ran ahead, but stopped. "Umm… which way is the dinning room?" She asked as everyone sweat dropped.
"Um… This way." Sakuya said as she and her sisters led the group to the dining room.
To be continued…
Well, how do you like it? R&R. I'm starting the next chapter soon.
