Chapter Seven
The computer screen slowly started to glow and she felt a sharp pain starting on her forehead.
'SOMEONE HELP ME!' "Moon Tiara Magic!"
The
monster howled in pain as it was turned into a pile of dust. A slight
breeze came through the window and swept it up. Fallen students groaned
as they slowly got up, wondering how on earth they ended like this. Two
shadowy figure silently slipped away to the roof top. When they got
there, both transformed back to their regular cloths. The blue hair
girl look dazed at the blonde who was smiling brightly at her. Amy girl
look at the cat and then her owner with a questioning eyes. The cat
walked in front of her and smiled. She said, "Welcome to the team"
: A week later :
The heavens above growled angrily down at the mortals. Dark cloud crept in slowly like a black panther. Then suddenly, it's as if the sky couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry. Tiny droplets fell down on the people who were now scampering all over the place. Amongst them was a very angry blonde. She was running with her black school bag over her head, very unlucky to be caught in the heaven's fury. You'd think after last week attack from the clock lady would get her to be on time, but no, she was late for dinner!
But that wasn't her fault. Mrs. Haruna was once again in a bad mood because her date had gone wrong. She definitely didn't like thunders. But how was she suppose to know it would rain? While she was running her way to school, she had heard the weather man on the passing by stores. He had clearly said, "Looks like a lovey weather today folks! Sunshine, clear skies and a cool breezes! A great day to spend the day outside."
"Sunshine and clear sky my- EEEEKK!" before she could finish her angry muttering, lightning flashed scaring her silly. She closed her eyes and started running even fasting. "I SWEAR THESE WEATHERMEN ARE ALWAYS SO-"
Two bodies impacted, one muscular male and the other soft female. They both fell backwords, each landing on their butts. A huge black umbrella fell and rolled off to the side and stopped next to the black school bag. Both figures sat there stunned for a few seconds before the male realized what happened.
"Jeez Meatball Head. Is there ONE day I don't run into you?" he spat out angrily. He wasn't having that great of a day. His headache and throat ache that he got two days ago has yet to go away. That lead to a pissy day at work which lead to him being irritated beyond words. He went to the arcade to study but it was too nosey so he pretty much ran out so his headache doesn't get worse. When he finally thought he could go home and take a nice relaxing bath, someone just had to knock him down and get him all wet. 'Why me?' he whined to himself as he took a hold of his umbrella.
"Don't call me that you jerk!" Serena screeched. God, what was wrong with this man? Why was it so damn hard for him to call him by her name? AND HER HAIRSTYLE DID NOT LOOK LIKE MEATBALLS! She didn't care if they did anyways, she liked it. It gave him no right to call her Meatball Head. 'I swear I wish I could knock some sense into his head or something. Urrrggghhh.' Suddenly I hand appeared in front of her face. Confused she looked up and found a smirking Darien.
"Are you planning on getting up or you plan on making yourself a sidewalk hazard for someone else?" Serena eyed his hand wearily. What if he let go and she fell on her butt again? He'd sure get a kick out of that.
"Come on Meatball Head, we're both soaking wet. I'm sure you want to go home and change? Besides it's not safe for kids like you to be running around alone in this weather" He gave her a reassuring smile and for some reason she trusted it so she took his hand. As soon as she grabbed his hand, an quick flashback and a strange feeling zapped in and out of her but before she could think about it she felt herself being pulled up.
"Er.. thanks?" She looked at him suspicously. He was being nice, it wasn't normal. Seeing the look on her face Darien laughed. For some reason he wasn't in a bad mood anymore. He actually felt his stress drip away. 'Leave it to Ms. Bubbly Blonde to do that to ya hehe.'
"Well, I
might as well walk you home. Come on." Darien held his big umbrella
welcomely. Not being able to think of any better way to get home, or
any drier, she went under it.
"Well.. uh.. thanks Darien? That was.. nice of you.. Um.. wanna come
in?" They were standing in front of her house's gate. She had that look
on her face again so Darien chuckled.
"Nah, it's fine. I'll just go home and dry up. See ya later Meatball Head!" Before Serena could say anything he turned and walked away. Staring at the back of his head, Serena wondered if something was wrong with him and went inside, heading straight toward the bathroom.
As Darien walked toward his apartment, the sound of the rain drops beating against his umbrella accompanied him. He thought about what just had happened. He was definately sick or something because he got along with Serena for as long as ten minutes! Those thoughts then slowly turned to his weird dreams and then the odd things that were happening to him. It started stressing him out so he pushed those thoughts away. Then suddenly he closed his umbrella, closed his eyes and faced towards the sky. The rain was actually soothing. But poor Darien, his peace didn't last long as his strange headache kicked in again.
"Why now"
'I thought I would be happy if something actually happened to school..'
SailorMoon thought as she dodged another attack, leaving a big mess in
the classroom. She and Sailor Mercury were fighting another monster who
called itself Paakee. It looked like a humongous bird. It's arms were
attached to big black feathery wings. It's had long 3-fingered hands
with pointed nails. It's foot had four toes, 3 large ones in the front
and smaller one behind with sharp curved claws.
"SailorMoon! Lets lead it outside. It's causing too much damage in here. It'll be easier for me to find out it's weakness." Nodding they both ran out, with Paakee hot on their tails. The rain from earlier had thinned out a bit but it was still there. They turned to attack it, but found nothing.
"Where'd it go?" Both girls looked around. Clouds were still covered the sun making it dark and hard to see. All they could hear is the rain drops falling.
"SAILORMOON LOOK OUT!" Mercury ran at her and push her out of the way. Paakee was flying and shooting beams out of its mouth. "Look, you're gonna have to distract it while I find out where it's weak spot it okay?" Nodding she ran the opposite direction yelling. As planned, it made a U-Turn and followed her. She dodged it's claws that it shot at her and ran from the beams while Mercury scanned it. But being Serena and the ground being wet, she slipped and fell. Seeing it's advantage Paakee, shot feather like objects that pinned her to the ground as it flew past her. Coming back to finish off the job, it opened it's mouth to shoot the beam. But before anything could happen, it shreaked in pain and fell to the ground and the next thing SailorMoon knew was that she was being wisked away. At the same time, Mercury found it's weak spot.
"SailorMoon! Right below it's right wing!"
Wasting no time when TuxeoMask put her on the ground, she gathered her strenght, conjured up her tiara and threw it. The monster howled in pain and decreased to dust.
"Woohoo!" SailorMoon turned to congratulate and thank her savior, but like always he wasn't there. "Urgh, why do I even bother"
"..and due to some strange events that occured last night, Crossroad
High will be closed until furtur notice. Police are saying that this
could be a result of juvinile behavior."
The TV showed several pictures of damages sights in local school. Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino looked at the screen concerned. Then suddenly a scream was heard from upstairs.
"MOOOOOOOOOM! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP! I'M RUNNING LATE, -AGAIN-!"
Before Mrs. Tsukino could say anything, a blur of gold, blue and white sped past them and through the door.
"URGH! Why didn't mom tell me school was closed! I got up THIS early for NO reason. I should be in bed sleeping!" Mumbling to herself, she angrily was walking the opposite of the direction she just had run towards few minutes ago. She then decided that to cheer herself up she'd go play the Sailor V game with the lunch money she had. And of course, there was Andrew! She giggled to herself at that thought and cheerfully made her way toward the arcade while by standers looked at her and though "bipolar."
Just as the sliding door opened, the aroma of bangles, coffee and other breakfast items flowed to Serena. Her stomach growled, reminding her that she didn't eat breakfast AGAIN. After a quick battle, she decided that she'd eat a little first.
"Morning Andrew!"
"Hey! What are you doing here so early?
"Oh my school's closed."
"Oh that's, I heard it on TV. Hey Serena, breakfast is on me if you please do a favor for me."
How can she turn down free food, much less Andrew?
"You
see my cousin Zach and Darien go to the same college and Zach had
borrowed some notes from Darien and forgot to give them back. Darien
has a test tomorrow and he'd kill me if he doesn't get his notes for
his study group today. So.
'Wow this place is huge!' She looked around as she looked for Darien's
door number. 'He must be pretty loaded to be living in a place like
this while he's in college.' Finally having found the right number, she
collected enough courage to ring the doorbell. As the door slowly
creaked opened, her jaw fell.
