We (Miraaju) represent a What if? Manga series. Our homepage is at: www.meatballhead.simplenet.com. Please come and visit us! Okay, our first story is . . . What if the Sailor Starlights Appeared in the R Season of Sailor Moon? Usagi and Mamoru aren't a couple at the time. This takes place right before episode 77. (N.A. version 70) ___ scene change 'characters thoughts' <talking over the communicators> A Japanese word list is listed at the bottom. So sit back and enjoy! This is mostly written in Usagi's point of view. A few times it changes to Chibi-Usa's point of view though. [email protected] "I am so late!" I wailed running the sidewalks of the Juuban suburbs. 'Oooh! I can't get ANOTHER detention!' I thought as I continued my mad dash to school. I was running really late, so I didn't slow down racing around the corner like I should have. WHAM! Klutzy me ran into someone again. 'Ohhh!' I thought. "Hey! Watch where you're going . . . Mamo-chan!" I exclaimed when I realized just whom I had run into. My heart started racing again. When I'm close to him my heart starts pounding and I can feel my face grow warm. "Please Usagi-chan, don't call me that anymore . . ." I heard him say to me. 'Usagi-chan? What happened to Usako?' I thought miserably. "Why can't you get it that we're over? I have to go!" he exclaimed running off. That one phrase shattered my heart into millions of pieces. 'Mamo-chan . . . DOUSHITE? Why are you doing this? . . . I know you still love me . . . we were meant to be . . . weren't we!?' Tears streamed down my face, but I didn't care. Once he was gone I allowed myself to cry. BRIIIING!!!! The bell for school rang. "OH NO! SCHOOL!" Once again, I arrived at school late and, Haruna-sensei had one word for me. "DETENTION!" "Haruna-sensei demo . . ." "No buts Tsukino-san! Please try to get here to class on time from now on." 'Grrr! Detention again!' Hands under my chin I sat forward. Another long, boring day of school to sit through. "Cheer up, Usagi-chan!" Naru said cheerfully. "I've got great news! The new Three Lights CD is out!" "Nani?" I asked, confused. "What are you talking about, Naru-chan?" "Oh come on Usagi-chan! Don't tell me you never heard of the Three Lights! They're only the cuuuutest* boy music group ever," Naru-chan explained. "Really?" I asked, surprised. "For sure! And I heard they're coming to our school tomorrow! Isn't it the COOLEST!? You can borrow my CD if you want to." Reluctantly I found myself saying, " . . . Well, okay! I'll listen to it later." The CD was put into my bag as Haruna-sensei started her lessons. In a few minutes, I found my mind wandering off again. 'I just don't get it. We WERE so happy before. What made Mamo-chan change so much and so fast? We were fine until . . . Chibi-Usa!' "TSUKINO-SAN!" Haruna-sensei bellowed. 'Oops.' I thought. 'Here we go again . . .' __________* "Oh Luna! What a tiring day I had! I finally got out of detention and I am so exhausted!" I plopped down on my bed with a loud yawn. "I think I'll just take a nap before I do my homework . . ." I dropped my book bag on the floor. My fingertips brushed against an object that fell out of my bag. I picked the object up to see what it was. 'Oh yeah, Naru-chan's CD . . . I'll check it out. Three Lights, hmm?' Bringing out headphones, I plugged them into the stereo, popped the CD in, and hit play. Search for your love, crystal of heaven, Search for your love, don't cry for me, Search for your love, as a matter of fact, I love to hold you tightly. I've always been looking for you everywhere I've searched day and night (I love you) Where are you now? (Moonlight Princess) Our Princess Answer me right way (Answer for me) Answer me gently (Answer for me) I laid my head on my table and closed my eyes, listening to the words. Shortly later I drifted off into sleep. __________* "Usagi-chan! How are you ever going to manage the Moon Kingdom if you can't even get to school on time!?" Luna yelled at me, following me to school. "Oh no! I'm going to be late again!" I screeched, looking down at my watch. Three figures were looking at a piece of paper up ahead. "Haruna-sensei is really going to kill me!" "Huh?" a boy with white hair said, looking up. With a smile on his face, he stuck his foot out as I came running. Who would have thought that him tripping me like that could change my life so much. "YAAAAA!" SMASH! Oomph! I crashed into someone. Surprisingly I didn't end up on the floor as I thought I would; they caught me before I fell. "That wasn't very nice! Tripping me . . ." I said as I started to look up. " . . . like . . ." then I saw his face. " . . that . . ." 'Wow!' The guy that saved me was amazing! He had long black hair that was tied back in a ponytail. I gasped when our gaze met. He had the deepest blue eyes . . . almost like . . . 'This feels so familiar . . .' I thought. I realized that he still had his arms around and I had mine around him. I felt my face burn with embarrassment. All he did was catch me! He must have noticed I was staring. "Go . . . go . . . gomen nasai," I murmmered my apology as I slowly pulled away. He flashed a bright grin, "Anytime, Odango." Okay, he may be really cute, but he had no right to go and call me, "ODANGO!" A sweatdrop appeared on the side of his head. "Heh . . . yeah . . . with your hair and all . . . I thought . . ." "Hmph! Well you thought wrong!" I said back to him. "Watashi wa Tsukino Usagi-chan des." "Hajimemashite, Tsukino-san." That beautiful smile appeared again. "Seiya Kou des," he said as he bent down and kissed my hand. I gasped. No one had ever been so kind to me, except . . . The other two standing next to him seemed to be shocked, too. My hand felt like it was on fire after his touch. It felt like Mamo-chan's, yet, it was somehow different. "Taiki Kou des," the brown haired boy said. "Yaten Kou des," the white haired boy said. RIIING! "Oh no! The bell!" I exclaimed. 'I totally forgot about it and being late!' I started to take off, but someone grabbed my wrist. "Matte!" Taiki said. "Maybe you can help us. This is our schedule. Do you know our classroom is?" "Ah, well, we're kind of lost . . ." Yaten added sheepishly. I looked at their schedule and was surprised to find their teacher to also happened to be Haruna. "Hey, you've got Haruna-sensei too! That's my class. How lucky for you that I'm late today!" I said cheerfully as I put a hand behind my head. "I'm always on time . . . usually . . . most of the time . . . my alarm didn't go when it should have . . ." 'Who am I kidding? That's not really a lie . . . I'm not ALWAYS late!!' "Usually on time?" Seiya asked me as he cocked an eyebrow. "HA!" I said as I turned away and blushed. "Well, the bell already rang . . . let's go to class!" A minute later, we arrived right outside of Haruna-sensei's class. I slowly opened the door. Before the door was fully open Haruna-sensei realized I was late, again. "TSUKINO-SAN! You're late again! Detention!" Haruna-sensei yelled at me. "Once I introduce the new students, I will deal with you." "Hai," I mumbled a response. Great first impression I made. 'Good job,' I congratulated myself. The three boys were quickly introduced to the class, with several girls ooohing and ahhhing. One by one the guys introduced themselves to the class. Then they were told to find an empty seat and sit down. Haruna-sensei then turned towards me. She was about to yell at me some more about being late then send me into the hallway, but Seiya came to my defense. "Ano, Haruna-sensei, but Tsukino-san was late because she was helping Taiki, Yaten and I find our class," Seiya explained. She glanced at Seiya, then at me. "All right. Tsukino-san, no detention for today, but be here on time tomorrow! Please take your seats." Taiki sat down by Ami-chan. Yaten sat next to Naru-chan. And to my surprise, Seiya sat down behind me. "You owe me one, Odango," Seiya whispered quietly to me. 'He called me Odango again!' I turned around and stuck my tongue out at him. "TSUKINO-SAN! Face foreword!" Haruna-sensei yelled at me. 'Does she ever leave me alone?' __________* 'Ahh, lunchtime,' I thought sitting next to a tree. "Doko ni Ami-chan no Mako-chan ka?" Seiya was walking around, looking for a certain dumpling. He found me sitting next to a tree. "Mind if I join you for lunch?" I turned my head slightly away. I was still enraged that he had called me Odango all morning. "I'm waiting for some of my friends," I stated. "I don't mind," Seiya said, taking a seat next to me and leaning against a tree. 'Does he have to sit here?' I thought to myself. "How easy going he is," I said quietly more to myself. "Usagi-chan! NANI!? SEIYA KOU OF THE THREE LIGHTS! " Mako-chan yelled as she dropped her lunch on the ground pointing at him. If only she didn't yell that. A bunch of girls immediately surrounded us, trying to get closer to Seiya for some reason. I was barely able to a squeeze out of the crowd on my hands and knees. 'I didn't know we has a member of the Three Lights!' I watched the crowd for a minute. The next thing I knew Seiya was standing next to me. "Sorry about that Odango," Seiya said. "Why didn't you tell me you are a member of the Three Lights?" I asked. "What? You mean you didn't recognize a good looking guy like me?" " . . ." I was speechless. What could I say? He was good looking. I felt a blush creep across my face. I know he saw it too. "Usagi-chan!" Ami-chan called out to me. I mentally thanked her for breaking the moment. Mako-chan walked over to Seiya and me, her mouth hanging slightly open. "Hey! He's over there!" a girl shouted. The whole herd came flocking towards us. "Ja, Odango!" he said as he took off. "Hey!" I shouted, but he didn't hear me. "Usagi-chan, you know Seiya Kou of the Three Lights!?" Mako-chan asked, shocked. "It's kind of a long story," I responded back. "We have time," Mako-chan said raising an eyebrow. "Well . . . okay . . ." I said as I retold them the story, leaving out a few minor details. "Yaten-san tripped you!" Ami-chan exclaimed. "Yeah, but look at the outcome! Seiya-san caught her!" Mako-chan said giving me the two thumbs up sign. "Mako-chan! Usagi-chan! If we don't hurry we will be late to Haruna-sensei's class!" Ami-chan said as she jumped up. Mako-chan jumped up too and both of them took off towards class. "Hey! Wait for meeeeee! . . . Owwwwwww!" I tripped on a tree root and nearly fell onto the ground, but . . . someone caught me, again. "Geez Odango, I'd think you did this on purpose so I can save you," Seiya said with a half smile, half smirk. I was in Seiya's arms again! He saved me before I fell on the ground. With a slight blush on my face I broke away from him. "I can't help it! Yaten-san tripped me earlier, and it's the tree root this time!" I said pouting at him. The bell rang. 'I am late AGAIN!' my mind shrieked at me. "Oh no! not again!" I wailed out loud this time. I took off and sprinted back to class, Seiya behind me. __________* "Tsukino-san is late!" I heard Haruna-sensei shriek a few classrooms away. 'Just great!' By the time I arrived inside the classroom I had almost wished that I hadn't. I walked into class with my head down. "Gomen Haruna-sensei," Seiya said as he entered behind me. "It was my fault." She gave us both a hard look, and I squirmed under her glare. He stood next to me unaffected by her harsh look. "Sit down, both of you. Just make sure that you're at school on time tomorrow and after lunch." Another uneventful afternoon of school passed by. I noticed a note folded up on top of my bag. I opened up the sheet of paper and read: Usagi-chan, Don't forget the "meeting" at Rei-chan's house. She's doing a fire reading. Ami 'Oh man! What next?' I thought as I sighed. __________* "Usagi! You're here on time!" Rei-chan exclaimed as I came up the temple steps with Ami-chan and Mako-chan. "Usagi-chan didn't have detention today," Mako-chan said happily. "What!" Rei-chan exclaimed staring at me. "Seiya-san got her out of trouble, twice," Mako-chan said giving me an evil eye. "Who's Seiya-san?" Minako-chan asked. "Seiya Kou of the Three Lights!" Mako-chan exclaimed, staring at Rei-chan and Minako-chan. "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Minako-chan shrieked. "YES!" Mako-chan shouted. "He even caught her when she tripped!" "He caught Usagi!" Rei-chan screeched. "Minna!" Artemis exclaimed. "We need to start the senshi meeting! Esmeraude isn't giving up so easily." "Artemis is right," Ami-chan added. "All right follow me," Rei-chan said leading everyone into the Great Fire room. Minako-chan, Mako-chan, Ami-chan and I watched Rei-chan talking to the fire. I heard a noise behind us, but no one noticed. I quickly turned my head in that direction and saw Chibi-Usa ducking behind the door. 'Brat,' I thought. A few more minutes passed until Rei-chan spoke up, "The fire didn't say anything. It's been like this for awhile now. I'm really staring to get worried." Chibi-Usa came into the room, "Usagi! Ikuko-mama wants us to be home in time for dinner, so we'd better go." "All right, all right," I said as I got up and stretched, "Let's go." "Usagi, we'll have another meeting tomorrow. Be here on time," Rei-chan said. "I was here on time today, Rei-chan!" I shouted at her as I stuck my tongue out and left the room. __________* "Usagi! Hurry up!" Chibi-Usa shouted at me. "All right, I'm coming!" I shouted, picking up speed. 'Why did she have to start running?' As I turned the corner I saw her talking to someone. Mamo-chan. I immediately slowed down my pace so I wouldn't run in them. Surprising I stopped without falling. Chibi-Usa and Mamo-chan looked at me. "Mamo-chan . . ." I said softly. "Usagi-chan, don't," Mamo-chan said giving me a cold eye. Silence, dead silence. "Chibi-Usa. . . I'll see you at home," I said as I walked past them, but not before a few tears fell. "Mamo-chan, daijoubo?" Chibi-Usa asked in the distance. "Hmm? Oh . . . daijoubo Chibi-Usa," Mamo-chan replied. * * * * Chibi-Usa 's POV * * * * "Mamo-chan, daijoubo?" I asked, looking up at him concerned. "Hmm? Oh . . . daijoubo Chibi-Usa," Mamo-chan said. I couldn't believe it. 'Was that a sad look on Mamo-chan's face? Why would he be sad? . . . Usagi! Why would he care if Usagi out of all people was crying again? Nah. That couldn't be the real reason.' "So how was your day Mamo-chan?" I asked, trying to find out what was wrong. "My day was fine Chibi-Usa. . . but I forgot to do something. I have to go now, but I'll see you tomorrow okay?" "All right. I better catch up with Usagi anyways. Ja, Mamo-chan!" 'Weird,' I thought as I ran into the direction Usagi went. 'Why does he still care about Usagi? I'm surprised that Mamo-chan out of all people would forget something and not Usagi. Could he . . . get real Chibi-Usa! You have bigger problems! You still have to get the Ginzuishou from Usagi!' * * * * Back to Usagi's POV * * * * I just ran. I had to get away. Over and over in my head I kept hearing, "Usagi, don't," and seeing his cold eyes rejecting me once more. I finally realized that he didn't love me. He was too cold. What could I do? Even against Queen Beryl and the Dark Kingdom, I never felt so helpless. A car honked at me as I ran across the street, not caring or watching. Just go ahead and hit me! I wanted to shout . . . but what about Chibi-Usa and the Dark Moon? I promised I'd help Chibi-Usa save her mother, and I will . . . hopefully . . . someday. But now, I wanted to get as far away as I could. I kept going, until I ran into someone. I murmmered apologies and continued on my way. Someone grabbed my wrist. I tried to struggle away until I heard . . . "Odango? . . ." Seiya. For the third time that day I bumped into him. "Odango, what's wrong?" Seiya asked me. "Ma . . . Ma . . . Mamo-chan, he . . . he . . . he!" Immediately I started to cry all over again. ". . . Odango . . ." Seiya's face softened, but he seemed hesitant to come closer. I cried for a few more moments until they turned into sobs. He slowly put his arms around. "It's okay Odango," Seiya said trying to comfort me. "Usagi!" I heard someone shout in the distance. Chibi-Usa. Seiya lifted his head up to see where the voice had came from. "Odango . . . what happened? What did he . . .?" "I don't know!" I cried into his shirt. "Shh . . . it's going to be all right Odango," Seiya said as he wiped a few tears away from my eyes. I glanced up at him in surprise expecting to find pity in his eyes, but that wasn't what I saw. Only concern and something else I couldn't quite place. "Usagi!" Chibi-Usa shouted, closer this time. I glanced over to where I had heard her voice come from. She was standing at the corner, a little surprised to see me for some reason. 'Why would she be surprised? It was then that I realized how close he was to me. I blushed and backed away from Seiya. "Arigato Seiya," I said to him. I turned to Chibi-Usa and said, "Chibi-Usa, let's go!" She mumbled something under her breath and made her way over to Seiya and me. "Who are you?" Chibi-Usa asked. * * * * Chibi-Usa 's POV * * * * "Who are you?" I asked. He looked really familiar but I just couldn't place his face from anywhere. 'Did I see him in the future, or present?' I was so confused. "Chibi-Usa, this is Seiya Kou. He just joined my class today," Usagi said, gesturing at Seiya. "Hello," he said politely. Now that voice was really familiar, but from where? "Seiya, this is my younger cousin, Chibi-Usa. She's living with me and my family right now." "Hi," I said. 'Where is he from?' My mind was screaming. 'Why is it so important I remember!?' "Usagi!" We have to home for dinner or Ikuko-mama will be worried!" I said, snapping out of my daze. * * * * Back to Usagi's POV * * * * "Usagi! We have to be home for dinner or, Ikuko-mama will be worried!" Chibi-Usa said to me. "You're right!" I exclaimed. "Ja, Seiya!" I called over my shoulder and took off running with Chibi-Usa close behind me. __________* "Usagi-chan, Chibi-Usa-chan! You're just in time for dinner," Mama said when we ran in through the door. "Good I'm starved!" I said trying to sound like my cheerful old self, but the attempt sounded fake, even to my own ears. Dinner passed quietly, and once I was done, I went upstairs to my room to do some thinking. I didn't have much time; my communicator went off. <Usagi-chan, we need your help at the central area of the park!> Ami-chan said over the communicator. <Usagi hurry!> That was Rei-chan's voice. "I'm on my way," I told them. I looked at my clock, it wasn't that late, luckily only 7:30, so I wouldn't have to sneak out. I quickly made an excuse to see Ami-chan about some homework and then left. What I didn't realize was that Chibi-Usa was behind me. I walked into a secluded area by a building two blocks away before I took out my brooch. "MOON CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" Feathers and ribbons surrounded me, and with in the blink of an eye, Sailor Moon stood there. After I transformed, I dashed away from the building towards the park. Little did I know that Chibi-Usa was following me. __________* "Where is she?" I heard Sailor Mars yell in the distance as I came closer towards my destination. When I reached the scene there were two twin droids. One was female, and one was male. They had no hands, only razors and blades. Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury were attacking the female one, and Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus were attacking the male one. And no Tuxedo Kamen-sama. A knife flew out of the male's hand, ready to slice Sailor Venus into pieces. "MOON TIARA ACTION!" I shouted, quickly throwing my tiara to block the attack. My tiara was still very weak, but it did its job. "How dare you pick on my friends! The park is a suppose to be a place of fun without evil droids! I am the pretty sailor suited solider, Sailor Moon! In the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" "Took you long enough!" Sailor Mars yelled at me. "Mars, why do you have to be so mean!?" I wailed at her comment. "What's Chibi-Usa-chan doing here?" Sailor Mercury shouted in alarm. "Nani!? She must have followed me here!" I said as I glanced around behind me to discover that Chibi-Usa was here. "We can't let her get hurt!" Sailor Jupiter said, dodging a blade intended to take off her head. After a few minutes we weren't doing too well. Even though we had been able to dodge most of the attacks, the few that hit were doing serious damage. 'Where's Tuxedo Kamen-sama?' I was becoming very worried. 'Usually he's here by now. If don't get help soon, I don't think we'll make it!' Lost in thought, I didn't notice the energy blast shoot out from one of the driods mouths. "Sailor Moon!" Sailor Venus shouted. I immediately snapped out of my thoughts. There was battle going on for goodness sakes! The blast came flying at me! * * * * Chibi usa's POV * * * * The blast was ready to hit Usagi. And it did! A bright flash of light appeared and the tree was gone, and so was Sailor Moon! Kami-sama! After 3 months of it's done! Phew. HOSHI-CHAN that graphic is missing. Well, that's about it for now.
