AN: These are fairly quick.
TW: Mild sexual stuff.
Medusa Appears! Hermes Descends!
"You have got to be kidding me." Cora Lou put her pencil down as she glared at the little mutt on her floor who was chewing on his leg for whatever reason. "You did not just say 'Oh yeah, there's More!'"
"Well, I did." Sin snorted and sneezed before yawning, "There's four more. You got to find them and convince them to help you."
"Oh pray tell, how the devil do I do that, oh smart one?" She snapped, "This is completely going to ruin my grade point average!"
Laughing, Sin scratched his ear, "Please.. as if you need this schooling thing." He hmphs a bit, "After all, you're destiny is way more important than some place filled with silly human teens."
"Swear to gods, you insult an institution that in endeavoring above all odds to try and put some knowledge into a person one more time-"
"Yeah yeah, either way it still doesn't get you out of finding the other four."
"Wonderful, so who do I have to find?" Cora Lou grumbled.
"Well, one is already found-"
"Excuse me?" She glared, "Then why not get THAT one to do all the leg work?"
Sin growled, "Because she's only one person! Besides, Suen can only do so much with her." His ears went down, "Look, just meet her, swap some ideas and go along with it."
Rolling her eyes, Cora Lou turned back to her school work. Seriously, this was NOT going to be on the test tomorrow!
After sneaking off campus through a back gate in order to avoid Usagi, Cora Lou ended up heading to the Fruit Parlor where she was supposed to meet this girl and Sin's partner, Suen.
Spotting them wasn't too hard, and Cora Lou was vaguely annoyed with this girl making out with some guy in the booth.
"I could always come back later." She said impatiently.
The only response she got was a soft moan from the girl who barely acknowledged her presence. At least until the white and black small dog perked up from under the table and then turned and bit her owner on the leg.
"OW! Son of a-!" The other girl finally let go of the guy, ready to kick the small dog, before she noticed Cora Lou there. "Oh, you are here." She sighed a bit as the guy didn't seem too phased by this and was copping a feel.
Cora Lou was, mildly put, disgusted. "I can always come back later, if you're done jerking him off."
"What? Oh, I'm not doing that." The other girl said before shoving the guy off and out of the booth, "Have a seat."
"I'm not sure if I want to sit where some asshole was getting his jollies off." Cora Lou answered just as the guy stood up.
"What the hell was that for?" He glared at the blue haired girl with the cyan bow in her hair. "I thought we were-"
"I changed my mind." The girl said, straightening her sailor uniform, "Now get out before I call the police. I am a minor, you know." She smirked at the man going white as a sheet before he ran off, "Ah, well, he wasn't that interesting anyway. " She hmphed then looked at Cora Lou again, "I'm Senka Amoretto. I go to-"
"I don't really care what school you go to." Cora Lou interrupted and wiped down the seat before she sat down, "Sin told me to meet with you because you're the only other person awake. "
Senka pulled out her compact, fixing her make up as she answered, "Pretty much. Suen- the mutt that bit me- said pretty much the same thing. But here's the thing, I'm only doing this because there's nothing better to do."
"Same." Cora Lou agreed, "So will you also be searching for those other two senshi or is that a no-go?"
Senka hummed a little, "Ah, maybe.. Wait a moment- Waitress!"
A red haired girl approached them in a cute striped mini skirt and golden sleeveless shirt with a heart-shaped apron over it. "Ah.. um yes?"
"I'd like a fruit parfait with a chocolate milkshake." Senka said promptly then looked at Cora Lou, "Gettin' anything?"
"I'd like a glass of iced water and a slice of strawberry cheesecake." She glanced at Senka, "She's paying."
"Hai! I'll be right back." And the girl scurried away.
"What the hell was that?" Senka glared at Cora Lou, who had now took out her book on Japanese characters and the meanings and put on her glasses. "There's no way I'm paying for your stuff!"
"Too bad." Cora Lou said, flipping a page as she read, "You made a disgusting spectacle of yourself and made me wait. I hate wasting time, so this is your punishment."
Senka growled, "Why you uppity-"
"As entertaining and heartwarming as this is." The white and black dog with the silver crescent moon said as she popped up next to Senka, "We have business. We know the location of the next senshi. We also know that the youma factory is trying to find the silver crystal."
"Uh-huh." Both girls were barely paying attention now.
Sin sighed, "It's important you both stop these other senshi from awakening."
"Right." Senka grinned when the food arrived, "Oh good." She dived right in.
Cora Lou eyed her but sipped her water contently for a moment before saying, "I find it extremely hard to believe that neither Suen or you, Sin, have given us any more information about anything." She closed her book, "It's suspicious."
"It's not on purpose." Sin pouted, ears going down, "We just..have a little memory issue here and there."
"Perfect, we have the blind leading the blind." Senka laughed, "Well, whatever, fine with me. I don't give a shit anyway."
Cora Lou sniffed," Memory issues. Likely story." She methodically ate her cheesecake, "I'm guessing you're going to lead us to the next senshi, then?"
"Of course..."
Cora Lou muttered, "Why am I not surprised?"
The girl's name was Yun-Gi and she was pretty much adamant that she was NOT going to be joining them.
"Do you know how many times I have to rehearse?" She asked glaring at Cora Lou and her group. "Even if I DID believe you, there's literally no time in my busy practice schedule to do anything else but dance." She brushed by them, "Thank you but no thank you. I have practice to get to."
"But-!" Sin and Suen looked at each other, "The weight of the world is on your shoulders!"
"Right, and with those two, you'll do fine. Bye now."
Cora Lou sighed, "Well, we tried, call it a day. I have an exam to study for."
"And I have a date." Senka flipped out her phone, texting at the speed of light, "Oh, hi Shuichi~, are you free later..?"
At least they would've gone separate ways if a youma hadn't appeared to wreck all their plans.
"Oh for fuck sake!" Senka growled as the youma stomped on her phone, "I am going to kill him! There were over fifty-four numbers there!"
"Your clients?" Cora Lou smirked which earned her a glare. "Fine fine, I'm sure you can get another one as long as that other half is still intact."
"But it's the principle of the thing!"
Suen sighed, "Guys..the monster is after that girl. You could, you know, help her?"
"Why? Senka asked, "she didn't want to help. Why should we help her?"
They heard the girl scream again, and Cora Lou sighed, "Just come on, geeze." She grabbed Senak's wrist and dragged her along, "If we save her and convince her that this is a worthwhile thing that'll get her famous, maybe she'll fold."
"How do you know?" Senka asked annoyed.
Cora Lou snorted, "Please, everyone wants to be famous or rich. She looks like that type that wants to be famous. So lets do this."
Senka pulled her wrist loose and made her transformation pen appear, "Fine... Medusa Power, Clean Up!"
Cora Lou pulled out her locket, "Moon Inversion Power, Clean Up!"
"Ow.." Yun-Gi groaned as she looked down at her leg, "Oh man, I can't get it twisted!"
"Give me your energy, pathetic human." The youma snarled.
Yun-Gi glared back at it, "I will make you pay if you made me twist my ankle!"
"What?"
"I'm on my way to becoming a world renown Ballerina and I don't need some weirdo in a bikini to ruin my chances!" Yun-Gi yelled at it.
the Youma just shook it's head and tried taking her energy anyway. Besides, what the hell was a Ballerina?
"Medusa Stunning Kiss!"
The attack missed the youma who jumped out of the way in the last second, turning Yun-Gi's leg into stone.
"Damn, I missed!" Sailor Medusa swore and went after the creature.
"So, having second thoughts?" Sailor Invert Moon asked Yun-Gi, walking over to her and tilting her head.
"Are you kidding?! LOOK AT MY LEG!" Yun-Gi gestured towards it," It's STONE! How am I going to dance now?"
"I don't know." Invert Moon answered and looked over to where Medusa was fighting with the youma. "But, you know, aside from that, apparently we're destined for greatness- you know..famous stuff."
Yun-Gi was still fuming over her leg, but reluctantly listened, "Famous stuff?"
"Hm-mhm." Invert Moon folded her arms for a bit, "So, here's the deal. You join, you still get to do the ballet stuff and get more flexible to boot."
"What's the insurance plan with this?" Yun-Gi asked.
"Eh? There is none. Just survive long enough to be famous." Invert Moon told her, "So..joining or...? I'm pretty sure transforming would heal the leg."
Yun-Gi sighed, "Alright..fine! I'll join!" She gave Sin an odd look as the dog gave her a transformation pen, "Ew...gross.. "
"Just say, Hermes Power, Clean Up." Sin told her with a wag of his tail.
Yun-Gi gave him another look, "You talk?"
"Duh, magic." Invert Moon rolled her eyes, "Seriously, your priorities need work."
"Oh whatever!" Yun-Gi held the pen up, "Hermes Power, Clean Up!"
Instantly she transforms into Sailor Hermes, leg healed and all, "Huh, it did work."
"Told you." Invert Moon sighed, "Can we hurry this up, I have an exam in the morning."
Hermes muttered something but went after the youma that Medusa had been fighting, "It's time for pay back! Hermes' Chilling Descent!"
"Medusa Stunning Kiss!"
The Youma was turned to stone and ice but was somehow still alive inside.
Sin looked up at Invert Moon, "Do your thing, Sailor Invert Moon!"
"One second!" Invert Moon hushed him as she was reading from her notebook, studying for a science test. "I'm almost done."
The monster was slowly breaking out of it's imprisonment.
"He-Hey! Invert Moon! This thing is NOT waiting!" Hermes yelled.
"For fucksakes, stop studying!" Medusa glared at her.
"I'm almost freaking done!" Invert Moon called back as the monster breaks out of it's imprisonment and headed straight for her.
"Invert Moon!" They yelled at her.
Yet she continued to study for a bit longer, until a silver streak went by, stopping both her from studying and the monster in its' tracks.
"The..hell?" Invert Moon and the others looked up and saw some guy in a white suit with a black mask and black gloves and shoes on. "Who the hell are you and why did you do that? I was almost done memorizing the periodic table I have to do for tomorrow's exam!"
"A battlefield is no place for books and school learning!" The masked man said, "You must- hey, what are you doing?"
Invert Moon was more than ticked off by this guy as she turned to deal with the monster first, "Moon Inversion Gravity!" Killing it in seconds before she turned and jumped up to where the guy was standing and punched him in the face. "THAT was for ruining a well organized notebook, you idiot!"
Feeling better, she left him to collect her book and walked away grumbling, "Stupid ass ruined my book! I ought to make him pay for it."
Sin sighed, it was going to be a very long year.
