" Speak"
(thoughts)
Kenji was silent as he watched his daughter with unbelieving eyes. Before of him stood the most famous heroine of Tokyo, Sailor Moon. A heroine everyone spook of and was said to possess mysterious powers that she used against the evil beings that had been seen lately. He, as well as everyone else in the city, was glad that the five young female warriors, known as the Sailor Senshi, had power enough to vanquish the demons. Both Shingo and Kenji had been in close encounters with them and it was thanks to the Senshi that neither of them had been hurt. But the fact that HIS DAUGHTER was one of them, THE LEADER IN FACT, was too much for him. He refused to believe that his young, innocent and clumsy daughter could be the legendary fighter for love and justice.
"Usagi why are you dressed like that?" He then noticed the young masked man behind her who had been watching the events with amused eyes. "And who is that boy?" His gaze turned hostile before he finished the sentence.
(Your father is sure a strange man,) Mamoru thought as he stared back at the hostile man in front of him.
(Just watch and see! He hasn't even started yet!) Usagi sighed as she saw the veins on her father's forehead. Kenji still watched Tuxedo Mask with a murderous expression as he quickly approached the hero with angry strides.
"What are you doing with MY DAUGHTER in the middle of the night? Dressed like a dashing hero? And you, Usagi, dressed like Sailor Moon! In that short and scandalous skirt. MY DAUGHTER dressed like a slu..." He was quickly silenced by before he could finish the sentence by Ikuko who covered his mouth with her fingers.
"Don't you dare speak to our daughter that way!" Ikuko hissed angrily in his ear. As soon as Kenji nodded, she released him and placed a comforting hand above his.
(Your father doesn't own a gun, by any chance?) Mamoru asked with a distressed voice.
(No, he doesn't silly! Don't worry, dear; I think that once we reason with him he'll understand.)
(You think? That isn't very comforting, dear. Maybe you don't know your father as well as you think you do? He sure looks angry enough to kill someone, or namely kill ME!)
(He's just a little overprotecting of me,) Usagi replied with unease as she watched her father with worried eyes.
(A little?) Mamoru asked sarcastically. (Sickly overprotecting is more the phrase I would use to describe him.)
(All right! I give up. He's a maniac when it comes to boys and me,) Usagi replied tiredly as she waited for the questions she was sure to follow from her father. She didn't have to wait long.
"Usagi, I demand you to tell me why you are dressed like that!"
"It's not my fault that my Sailor fuku looks like this. I never had a chance to tell the tailor how I would like it to look. IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" she wailed theatrically, trying to avoid further questions. She failed miserably.
"Usagi stop wailing!" Kenji yelled loudly to silence her. Usagi sighed and watched her father with tearful eyes, begging him silently to be kind to her. He watched her silently one more time before asking with a shocked voice: "Are you trying to tell me that you really are Sailor Moon?" The veins on his forehead pulsated dangerously as he was tried to absorb the truth. Usagi nodded to confirm the statement.
(Someone please call an ambulance, because it looks like we'll need one very soon!) Mamoru said, half jokingly and half serious.
(Mamoru!) Usagi yelled angrily.
(What? He looks a little pale don't you think?) Mamoru said innocently.
(Could you please be silent? This is difficult as it is without your comments, okay?) Usagi replied with a tired voice.
(Sorry honey!) Mamoru said sheepishly.
"Yes daddy! I'm Sailor Moon and have been for almost six months now."
Kenji watched her, speechless. He watched the heart-shaped face he knew so well and her enormous baby blue eyes and compared it to the face shown frequently on the news. "Oh my god! Why haven't I noticed before?"
"It's the glamour daddy! It's a magic spell that hides our true features from being recognized by others. Now the glamour is useless because of your knowledge of who I truly am, but it will still work on other people," Usagi explained with a mature and serious voice. Kenji, Ikuko and Tuxedo Mask watched her with stunned eyes. "What?" she asked, as they didn't say anything. They just stared at her.
"We're just not used to hear something so complex coming from you, dear!" Ikuko finally said with an apologetic smile.
"What? Do you think I'm stupid or something?" Usagi wailed.
"Of course we don't think you're stupid, dear! It has just been a night full of surprises," Kenji said with a tender voice. His tone shifted to an angry one once again as he turned his attention towards Tuxedo Mask. "You still haven't explained him, dear!"
(Oops! Bummer! I thought he would forget about you so you could sneak away!) Usagi said with a tired voice.
(What should we tell him?) Mamoru asked as he watched Kenji nervously.
(I don't know!) Usagi wailed.
(I have an idea: Why don't you tell him the things you deem is necessary for him to know and leave everything out that would mean a slow and painful death for me?) Mamoru said with a pleading voice.
(Well, that would mean that I would have to exclude almost everything that has happened this evening,) Usagi said with an evil tone.
(I trust that you will make the right decision what to tell him and what to keep silent about,) Mamoru said with a quick smile before praying to God that he made the right decision to leave everything to Usagi.
Outside, Luna just arrived to hear Kenji's last question. Her smile was an evil one as she watched her charge and Mamoru's panicked expressions. (I wonder what they will tell him. Because I would be ready to kill Mamoru for most of the events that happened tonight, and I'm not as overprotecting as Kenji is. Whatever part she chooses to tell him, I'm sure he will go ballistic. I just hope he will leave something left of Mamoru for me!)
"Luna, what's happening?" Artemis asked as he approached her from behind.
Luna would have jumped if she wasn't used to Artemis's sneaking by now. "Artemis, how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that? Someday I will accidentally scratch your eyes out," Luna threatened.
"You wouldn't!" Artemis said with an unsure voice.
"Try me!" Luna replied with an evil smile towards her friend.
"All right! I promise never to sneak up on you again. Now, please tell me what's going on in there," he pleaded.
"Well, Kenji knows that Usagi is Sailor Moon..."
"How did he take it?" Artemis wondered with a concerned frown.
"Well, once he was over the short skirt that she is wearing he noticed Tuxedo Mask."
"That's not good!" Artemis said with a nervous expression. "But, he seems to be alive so far."
"Yes, but Sailor Moon was just going to explain his presence."
"Well, I did say that he looked alive. I guess it will soon be another story," Artemis said and watched the events in front of him with curious eyes. Luna agreed with a nod and the two cats didn't say anything else and turned their attention towards the scene below them.
"Well, daddy! This is Tuxedo Mask. He has saved my life many times and is a part of our group. He's also my boyfriend. Before you yell or try to strangle him, I will just warn you that if you hurt him I will never speak to you again. I love him with all my heart and his intentions are honorable. (Yeah right! What a lie!) He wants to marry me when I'm old enough! He studies to become a doctor and has good grades. (We'll that is true, but he would also like to make passionate sex with me as soon as possible and we have made out more times that I could count.) And that is the TRUTH!" she finished with a sincere smile towards her still suspicious father.
"But, I thought that you were interested in this Mamoru-fellow?" Kenji replied with a frown.
"Well you see daddy . . ." Usagi said nervously.
"I am Mamoru!" Tuxedo Mask said, and, with a flick of his wrist, he detransformed and stood before Kenji in civilian form. Usagi detransformed as well, completely forgetting something she really shouldn't have.
An/ I have written 28 chapters of this story so far. As for why I don't post many chapters at the time-well the explanation is simple. I want to know what my readers thinks and what I can approve in the story. I'll promise I'll try to update with one chapter every two or three day. If you are very impatient, the story ch1-27 will be uploaded to Destinys Gateway this week. You'll find the address on my personal profile.
As for the question if I have seen the dub or orginal. I have to admit
that I have only watched the anime until the middle of Sailor Moon S.
The anime is very difficult to get a hold of in Sweden. But I have read
very much about what happens after Sailor Moon S.
I was also wondering if you were satisfied with Kenji's reaction so far? RR please!
Thanx for all reviews as usual.ladytokyo- This is the funniest story I've read in a long time. thank you for writing it. updata soon plz.

Ouji no Baka- Dum dum dum! I say...Kenji screams, "SAILORMOON!" THEN he faints!
