SAILOR COSMOS:FROM THE BEGINNING
Chapter 5:
I remeber staring at the clock and watching the seconds pass by. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. I was so happy to have escaped detention. Looking back now, I miss those moments. I miss the innocence in myself that I desire now, but I'm getting distracted again. I was walking out of the school gates, laughing about something between Ami, Mokoto, and myself when I felt a strange feeling. I remember turning around to find myself staring at Mamoru-baka holding a beautiful, white gown on a hanger.
"Pick your jaw from the ground odango or a fly will land on your pretty tongue," Mamoru spoke as I acknowledged his presence.
I could not believe my eyes. Mamoru-baka is standing front of me in a suit and holding a very, expensive looking dress out to me. "What-" I tried to ask what was going on when there was an explosion from the direction of the arcade. Everyone's eyes turned to see what had happened and Makoto was the first to react.
"Joe! Dear god Joe was in there..."Makoto exclaimed while running in the direction of the disturbance. Ami and I shared a look before taking off after her. 'I wonder what's wrong?' I thought while running as fast as I can. We arrive in front of the arcade to see the street deserted and Makoto brutally attacking a yuma that has tried to attack her friend Joe.
"Take some of this you creep!" Makoto yells as she lifts the greenish tinted monster above her head and threw it into a brick wall. This attack was merely annoying the monster more than harming it and it started to get angry and shot out an emerald colored spike in the direction of Makoto. Seeing the danger, Ami and I dashed into the alley beside the arcade, and transformed into out Sailor forms.
"Mercury Star Power!" "Moon Prism Power!"
After the whirlwind of lights and ribbons, we raced off to help Makoto. 'Woah this thing is oozing slime everywhere. It's no wonder everyone ran for the hills so fast..'I thought while Ami began her attack.
"Mercury Bubbles Bla-",she halted in her phrase as a emerald spike sliced its way through the beginnings of her fog to hit her in her side. I heard her grunt in pain and ran towards her to help her. "Am-Mercury!" I screamed while running. Then I felt the power from another emerald spike coming towards me. I put my hands up in an effort to hide and then I felt the warmth of arms supporting me as they lifted me from harms way.
"Tuxedo-Kamen! O thank you for sav-"I tried to say before he silienced me by abruptly setting me down and saying, "The girl over there is one of your own. You'll need her to defeat this yuma. Help her find her calling as a protector of the innocent as Sailor Jupiter."
I blinked at him in shock before registering what he had said.
"But-?"I started to ask but he silienced me by pulling me out of the way of another emerald spike and pushing me in the direction of Makoto. "Go! I'll hold off the yuma until she's transformed. Hurry!"
I nodded and ran over to Makoto to see her panting and holding her side. "Woah your Sailor Moon?" she gasped out while trying to run at the yuma again for another attempt at hurting it. "Help me bury that thing that knocked my good buddy Joe out will ya'?"she inquired at me.
I grabbed her arm and asked,"Jupiter?"
She merely blinked at me and answered,"Yeah Moon?"
To my surprise a bright green insignia appeared in the center of her forehead. 'That's the symbol for Jupiter' Luna whispered into my head as she raced into the scene of the battle with a transformation pen in her mouth. She flicked it up into Makoto's hand and instantly Makoto knew the words to transform into Sailor Jupiter.
"Jupiter Star Power!"
Lime and olive colored lights and forrest green colored ribbons incircled her body as she transformed. As soon as the transformation was over, she ran towards Sailor Mercury, who had finally recovered from her assault.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!""Jupiter Thunder Crash!"
'Now Sailor Moon,'a masculine voice purred into my mind.
"Moon Tiara Magic!"
The yuma wailed in again before turning into a pile of dust. A vapor of pinkish smoke filtered through the air and weaved its way into the many fallen people near the arcade that I had'nt noticed before.
'Well done Sailor Moon,' the male voice drawled before leaving my mind completely. I sighed and was about to ask Luna what was going on when my fellow scouts dragged me away from the awakening people. Luna followed closely behind making sure we weren't noticed.
We let go of our transformations in the alley beside the arcade and I looked nervously at Makoto before smiling a little. "Welcome to the team," Luna whispered aloud to further rattle Makoto.
"Woah..."Makoto answered while being lead out of the alley by Ami and Luna.
I sighed again. 'Well that was interesting.'I thought to myself. 'O no Mamoru!' I suddenly realized I had left him standing on the curb beside the school dressed for our date. 'Please don't be mad,' I whispered to myself before running like a madwomen towards him. As soon as I turned the corner, I ran into a hard, muscled chest. 'Ow' I thought and said aloud as I started to fall backwards. Arms wrapped around my waist and helped me to regain my balance. I hear a soft chuckle and look up to see the most breath taking blue eyes I have ever had the honor of looking into. I know I'm blushing right now, but I cannot help it as I gaze deeply into those cerulean deeps.
Mamoru's chuckle deepens a bit as he leans forward to press his forehead against mine and breath in my scent. He whispers against my lips,"So anxious to avoid our date Usagi? Am I really all that bad?" His eyes were so intense as he looked into mine that I could barely shake my head no to respond. "Then go into the arcade and change into this dress for me?"he continued to whisper for some reason. His looking into my eyes was really starting to get to me, but I managed to lick my lips and ask in a barely audible tone,"Why?" He smiled a little and pulled me an inch closer to his warmth before he answered me. "Because a beautiful girl deserves a beautiful dress." I managed a giggle before taking the dress from his hand and scurrying into the arcade doors.
I walked quickly towards the dress looking down and smiling softly the entire time. 'This is so pretty. I wonder where he got it?'
"Usa-chan? You're not up for your usual today?"Motoki asked in a worried tone.
"Nope. Not today...I have..uh..previous plans for food." I managed with a overly big smile.
Motoki merely chuckled as if he was in on a secret and went back to wiping the counter. I chanced a quick glance at a booth along the wall to see Makoto and Ami chatting away as if they had know each other their whole lives. I kept walking and snuck into the bathroom wihout confrontation with them. I changed quickly and took my hair out of its normal hairstyle in an attempt to hide myself. A failed attempt because as soon as I opened the door I could hear the audible gasps throughout the arcade. I keep my eyes down to avoid meeting anyone else's and walked as slowly as I could towards the door. When I neared the door I heard someone clear their throat in an attempt to get my attention. I looked up to see Mamoru holding a clump of agrimony and several rose out for me. He smiled broadly when he saw me appear from the bathroom and handed me all of the flowers before placing my hand in his arm and leading me to his car. He opened my door and as I was leaning over to get in, he told me,"You're the most amazing thing in the world. I wish you could see how stunning you look right now." I could only blush harder and timidly tell him,"Arigato, Mamoru..."
'Why is he being so nice to me? 'I ponder as he closes my door and enters the car on his side.' 'Wow she looks amazing,' Mamoru thinks in a moment of weakness forgetting about the mindlink he has only recently been aware of. I blush harder as Mamoru turns the key into the ignition.
I lick my lips and whisper as if I'm afraid to break the comfortable silience we have reached,"Where are we going?"
He takes his eyes off the road for a second before taking a turn way too fast for my tastes and smiles broadly."It's a surprise."
And what a surprise it was. I cannot believe how unimaginablly sweet and charming Mamoru could be when he was not teasing me about my hair or failed tests and clumsiness. Underneath all that suave, he was just as silly as I was. Maybe I still am. Perhaps afterreadingmy life's tale, someone willlet me know?
