The Black Angel
Chapter 6: Stepping Out
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or SoulTaker.
Several weeks had gone by since the battle with Israfel and things have relatively quiet. Kyousuke was walking to his next class when Usagi abruptly stopped him.
"Hey Kyousuke, what's up?" said Usagi.
"Hi, I got to get going to my next class," said Kyousuke.
"Listen, can I talk to you for a moment at lunch?"
"Sure, I guess, is there something you need?"
"I'll tell you at lunch."
Elsewhere, Makoto, and Minako stopped Ami. They asked the same thing to her and she agreed. At lunch after Kyousuke met up with Usagi near the school wall and Ami met up with her friends under the tree.
"WHAT!?... Ask Ami out on a date?" said Kyousuke, shocked and blushing a little.
"Come on, its obvious you like her a lot," said Usagi.
"Well yeah, but..." said Kyousuke.
"So don't worry. You've got the looks and the charm, you shouldn't have any problems," said Usagi, cutting off Kyousuke, "All you have to do is go up to her and ask."
Usagi began to walk off but stopped and turned back to the brunette
"That reminds me, you should ask her to go with you to the big costume party that's coming up while you're at it."
The young blonde then took off, leaving Kyousuke with a worried look on his face.
Afterwards Kyousuke did ask Ami out after spending 15 minutes trying to actually say it
At Rei's shrine, the girls were helping Ami get ready for her date. By helping, they were pestering her about what she should wear what make-up to put on. It was driving her crazy. After about an hour or so they reached a settlement and Ami was finally ready.
At that time, Kyousuke had just walked in.
"He's here, its ShowTime!" said Makoto.
Kyousuke felt his stomach doing backflips. His attire for the evening was a simple red button up shirt with black pants.
"Nervous?" asked Mamoru.
"Yeah, a little," said Kyousuke.
"Kyousuke Date, I give you your date tonight," said Rei.
Kyosuke looked up as Ami slowly walked up in a short black dress. Kyousuke was speechless at this beautiful sight.
"Well, what do you think?" said Ami.
Kyosuke remained speechless. Makoto snapped her fingers to bring Kyousuke back to reality.
"You look great," said Kyousuke.
"Well, you two should get going. Have fun!" said Usagi.
With that in mind the pair took off.
Usagi turned around to catch Rei, Minako and Makoto trying to sneak out the back.
"Where are you guys going?" Usagi said with slight suspicion on her voice.
"Uh… nowhere," said Minako.
"You were going to try and spy on them, weren't you?" Usagi pointed her finger at them accusingly.
The three girls looked at her sheepishly.
"Look, you guys always watch me and Mamoru when we go out. Ami deserves to have a spy-free date."
"How about we get some coffee for starters?" said Kyousuke.
"Okay," said Ami.
'Oh man, what do I do?' Kyousuke thought to himself.
"So, um… what do you like to do?" said Kyousuke.
"Uh… I like to read," said Ami.
"Really? Is there a particular book you like?" asked Kyousuke.
"Mostly I read because I'm studying so that one day I can be a doctor."
"I know you're going to be a great doctor."
"You do?"
"Yeah, from how you helped me, I can tell." Kyousuke said with a serene smile.
Ami could only blush at Kyousuke's comment
"Are there books you just read for fun?"
"I just got done reading 'Carrie' by Stephen King," said Ami.
"Oh, I've read some of Stephen King's books."
"What have you read?"
"The Tommyknockers, Cujo, The Shining, and, Children of the Corn."
"I've got an idea, how about we go see a movie?" said Ami, standing up.
"Sure."
The two teens set to the local theater. After much thought they decided to see Ju-on 3 (A/N: I don't own or know if there really is a third one). After the movie, the two decided to hit the bookstore for a good half-hour. Next, they went to get some ice cream.
"So what do you want to do, now?" asked Kyousuke.
"How about you die, black angel," said a woman's voice.
A blast of energy struck the ground and exploded.
"Now what?"
"I am your executioner, you may call me Lillith," said Lillith.
Kyousuke and Ami had already transformed. The two looked up to see a black haired woman dressed in what appeared to be a black dominatrix ensemble.
"You'll have to do better than that," said SoulTaker. He took to the air and charged up his arm.
"My turn, LIGHTNING BREAKER!"
The blast headed straight for a grinning Lillith. Suddenly, the blast was knocked off course by another blast.
"What was that?" said Mercury
"Ha ha ha ha haa allow me to introduce my sister: Adriel!" said Lillith.
Another woman appeared and struck SoulTaker from behind. This one was blonde and wore a white version of Lillith's outfit. She seemed to have a more submissive air around her, most likely to match Lillith's dominant persona.
"If one is attacked, the other will defend," said Adriel.
"Any ideas, Mercury?" asked SoulTaker.
"We'll have to hit them both at the exact same time, but I might as well be giving them a shower, my sailor powers don't work on them," said Sailor Mercury.
"Okay, then let's try this!" said SoulTaker, jumping up and crossing his arms. He took his stance for his attack only this time: both arms grew in size.
"DOUBLE LIGHTNING BREAKER!"
SoulTaker fired two blasts, one at Lillith, one at Adriel. Lillith then fired an attack at the blast intended for her sister while Adriel did the same. Afterwards the vanished then reappeared in front SoulTaker and simultaneously punched him in the solar plexus, sending him to the ground.
"Good try but not good enough," chuckled Adriel.
The duo then began to move around in the air.
"I won't be able to get good shot if they keep moving around like that."
Mercury was quiet for moment then she called SoulTaker over to her and whispered her plan to him.
"You think it'll work?"
"We gotta try something."
"Well, here goes," SoulTaker said, firing off another Double Lightning Breaker. The twin soul hunters smirked, as long as they kept moving there was no way he could score a direct hit on them.
"MERCURY AQUA MIRAGE!"
Her attack surrounded both of SoulTaker's blasts. The water acted as a guiding force and directed the twin energy fists straight to their targets.The combined attacks struck Lillith and Adriel, full force.
"Lord Gabriel, forgive us, we failed you!" said Lillith, screaming in agony.
"Who's this 'Lord Gabriel' person?" said Kyousuke, changing back.
"Probably their leader is my guess," said Ami, changing back.
Later on, Kyousuke walked Ami home after their little skirmish with the two soul hunters.
"Thanks for walking me home," said Ami.
"No problem," said Kyousuke.
"Say Ami?"
"Hmm?"
"I uh… heard that there is going to be a costume party next week. So I was wondering, if you want to that is, that uh…"
"I go with you?" a small hint of hope and surprise was in Ami's voice and a slight blush on her face.
"Yeah"
"I'd love to," said Ami immediately.
Ami walked up to the front of her apartment, unlocked and opened the door. She started to walk in but stopped, turned towards Kyousuke and gave him a coy smile. Kyousuke blushed a little in surprise as Ami walked and closed the door. Kyousuke began his walk home.
Ami let out a contented sigh as she leaned against the door.
"I saw that," said a feminine voice from behind.
Ami let out a small yelp and whipped around. There stood her mother: Saeko Mizuno with a sly smirk on her face.
"Mom! What are you doing home?
"I managed to get off early. So, when were you going to tell me?"
"About what?" Ami said in a nervous tone.
"You know what, who was he?"
"Oh, uh…"
"Has my little girl found herself a boyfriend?"
"Mom!" Ami's face was practically glowing red.
"I'm thinking I should get you a few things for when you two are alone." An evil grin was plastered on Saeko's face as she walked away.
A sudden dread filled Ami as she wondered what her mother meant.
You heard Kyousuke, there's going to be a costume party. I've already decided what the girls are going to go as, except for Ami. I already had a suggestion but I'm having second thoughts. So here's what I'm gonna do: if anyone has a suggestion of what Ami should go as let me know through reviews. I'll pick any I like then hold a poll. If nothing goes, I'll just go with the default. I'm not gonna tell you what the default is so don't bother asking.
