Sailor Moon is the property of Naoko Takeuchi. Love Hina is the awesome work of Ken Akamatsu. And since I love them both so much, here is my rendition of casting his characters into her plot.
Test 1: Realization of Power! Hina Moon appears
"I'm gonna be late for school!" Naru Narusegawa rushed to put her socks on, stumbling out of her room. Along the way, she nearly ran over her sister, Mei, who held out Naru's lunch.
"Can't you ever be on time, sister? I know your grades are great and all, but that doesn't mean you can just wake up whenever you want!" Mei let go of the box just as Naru got the other sock on, and barely caught the falling meal.
"See you later!" Naru hopped into her shoes near the front door, and rushed off to school.
'Study, study, study, study... study!' Naru thought to herself throughout the math class. And yet she was relieved when the bell rang. As she got ready to leave the classroom, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Aren't you coming to the party tonight, Naru-chan?"
Naru sighed. "Kitsune, you know that parties are a waste of time. There is so much I need to know for the upcoming test!"
Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno smirked. "Yeah, but you should try some hands-on learning, and this party could be just what you need. And maybe we can hook you up!"
Naru sighed. Kitsune could probably coax her into skydiving if she wanted to. Well, at least she wasn't trying to borrow money again. Some friend.
"Okay, okay! But I still say it's a waste of time."
Kitsune patted her on the shoulder. "I know you won't regret this. This party is at the Hinata House. You know, that mansion up on the hill? Well, anyways, see you there!" She waved, and ran off with a slight grin.
Naru packed her bags with her books, and went home. She knew her parents wanted her to socialize more, but this is not what she had in mind.
Naru met up with Mitsune at the base of the steps leading to the tall house looming at the top. And yet, it wasn't scary; the sakura blossoms from trees surrounding the steps blew across the air in front of the house. Although it was getting toward sunset, there was still enough light to show the beauty of the premises.
The inside of the house, however, was lively. The party had already begun, loud music was shaking the main entrance, and the crowd was quite active. A small food and drink table was to one side, and the two of them headed in that direction to avoid the frenzy.
"If this is what you expected, Kitsune, then I'm ready to go home."
A different voice answered her. "So this party isn't to your liking?" Naru turned to see a short, spectacled boy between her and Kitsune. "Well, perhaps you'd rather take a tour of this old house?"
"And just who are you?"
"I'm the caretaker of the house in my grandmother's absence. Keitaro Urashima, at your service." He held a hand out to shake, but she slapped it away.
"I see, you'd rather be alone. Well, feel free to look around." The host then left the two of them, and greeted a few other guests who had just walked in.
"No wonder the party is so lame, Kitsune. It takes after the host."
"Don't you want to explore the house, Naru? I know how curious you get. 5, 4, 3, 2..."
"Okay! I get it. Let's go look around."
Keitaro noticed the new girl smile for a moment as she walked off with her friend into a side hallway. 'She seems so familiar, but I can't remember why.' He thought about it for another moment, but then put it into the back of his mind as he mingled with the crowd.
"Wow! This house has a backyard hot spring! Too bad we didn't bring bathing suits."
"You sound like you've never been to a hot spring, Naru."
"Well... I haven't."
"Oh."
Naru went up to the edge, and felt the water with her hand. "Ouch! That's hot!"
"That's why it's called a hot spring."
She glared at Kitsune. "Don't tell me the obvious." She was getting ready to leave , then nearly jumped as she heard a splash in the water behind her. She turned back to look, fists ready. A cute turtle looked up at her.
"Wow, that's a hot springs turtle! Those are rarely in this area of the world."
"Bo-ring. Naru, if you want to play around with a turtle, go ahead. But I'm gonna go party."
"Suit yourself." Naru reached into the water and picked up the turtle as her friend left. The turtle squirmed around, but then seemed to look right into her eyes.
"Kentaro, are you leaving the party already?" A few girls had noticed one of the coolest partiers about to leave the room.
"I just have to make a call." He smiled slightly, then entered a side room and locked the door. From his pocket, he took out a small gem, and tossed it into the air. It hovered in front of him, and then a holographic screen appeared.
"How goes your progress, Jeditaro?"
"The party is going smoothly, Kanako-sama. Soon, the energy these fools are using will be in your hands!"
"Excellent! Soon, I will have enough energy to escape this annex, and take revenge on them all!"
Naru held the turtle close, and drifted into thought. 'Kitsune thinks anything is fun. Why can't I be the way she is? Maybe my head is too full of facts to have room for fun. And yet..."
The turtle began to squirm again, and this time she unknowingly let go. By the time her thoughts drifted back to reality, she was face to face with the turtle, now floating in front of her.
"Perhaps you are the one."
"Aah! The turtle is talking!" Naru started panicking, but thought of something. "No, I probably just fainted from the steam, and I'm dreaming. Yes, dreaming."
"You aren't dreaming. My name is Tama. And you are my first Hina soldier. Sailor Hina Moon."
She gaped. "Tama? Soldier? Now I know I'm dreaming."
Tama slapped Naru with a flippery foot. "Does that feel like a dream? I don't have time to explain. Your friend is in danger, Naru."
"How do you know my name?"
"Your friend said it before she left."
"Plausible, but what do you mean danger?"
"You'll know after you use this." Tama held out a paw with a wrist watch attached to it.
"It's a watch."
"Nope. That's an illusion. Yell out, 'Hina Moon Power!' Then you'll transform."
Naru was about to object again, when she heard a scream from another side of the house.
"Hina Moon... Power!"
Jeditaro, having given up his disguise as Kentaro, had locked the doors of the main room, and had another gem out, which was draining the energy of the guests in the room. True, a few people had left that room beforehand, including the host, but he didn't care. There was plenty enough energy here. The crowd started to faint, one by one.
His task was nearly complete when he heard a loud cracking noise coming from a locked hallway door. Just as he turned to look at it, the door fell down, revealing a shadowed figure.
"Who are you?" A sailor suited figure walked over the door lying in front of him.
"How dare you attack these people, who merely were trying to relax and have fun? I will not let you get away with this atrocity! I, Sailor Hina Moon, will punish you! Hina Kick!"
The agile Jeditaro appeared to dodge the attack, but then realized that the gem of energy was missing.
"You used this to hurt them, I can tell." Hina Moon threw it to the ground, shattering it. "And you're next."
"Hmm. You interest me. But not worth my time. I'll have a lesser creature handle you." He made a ball of energy with his hands, and flung it into the stereo the music was playing in. The stereo twisted into a humanoid form.
"Behold! Blastor, blow her away." And cackling, Jeditaro vanished.
"Maximum Volume!" Blastor turned up the sound to max, paralyzing Hina Moon with pain from the noise flowing through her ears. She fell to her knees.
Suddenly, the sound stopped. She looked up. The monster had a red rose jammed in its sound dial.
"Now, Hina Moon! You can destroy it!" She looked behind her to see a man in a black tuxedo and cape, with a white mask across his eyes, calling to her from a large, half-open window, though she could barely hear his shouting.
Her anger flared. She hated loud noise. This creature would pay.
"Hina Moon Retribution!" A blast of pink energy came from her outstreched fist and slammed into Blastor, shattering its body.
She turned to look back at the guy who saved her, but he was gone. 'Who was that?' she thought.
Back at the edge of the hot spring, Naru looked for Tama.
"Naru, there you are!" Kitsune hugged her friend from behind. "I think we partied too much. It appears we fell asleep, and someone destroyed the stereo! I hope it wasn't you. Though I can't imagine you as a vandal."
"Neither can I, Kitsune."
Once again, a different voice interrupted her. "So this is where you've been avoiding the party."
"Mr Urashima, where is the turtle I saw in here?"
"Oh, Tama? She tends to wander about, but always returns here at some point."
"Her name is Tama? Hmm." She shuffled her feet. "Do you mind if I come and play with her once in a while?"
Keitaro smiled. "You sure are an odd one, Miss..."
"Naru."
"I see. Naru. But as I was saying, I admire your kindness to animals, even if it doesn't apply to your own species. You have my permission." But as he looked up, still smiling, he saw Naru wasn't quite as pleased with his big mouth.
"I don't need to hear that from a loser like you!" Naru punched him square in the jaw, sending him flying, until he landed with a splash in the middle of the hot spring.
"Baka."
"You didn't have to hit him, Naru. He is letting you come back."
"He insulted me!"
"Was he wrong?"
The conversation continued as Naru and Kitsune left the Hinata House in the middle of the night.
Keitaro swam over to the edge of the hot spring, clothes drenched. "Naru, was it? What a firecracker. I wonder how she'll react when she hears the news about this house..."
