Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon G ❯ Episode 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Episode 5

Rei looked out the window and sighed, then she looked at her room and made a face. It isn't that Rei is a messy person, just, things get tossed around when searching for other things...and they make a mess. Luckily for Rei her bathroom wouldn't be a chore. Rei sat down on her bed, still staring out the window. She didn't turn around until she felt the weight of a hand on her shoulder.
"Pretty day," Rei turned around to look at Trowa. She didn't know much about the quiet teen, but, what the hell was he doing in her room?
"Uh, yeah," She said, and did a 90 degree twist, making her whole body face Trowa, and causing him to remove his hand from her shoulder.
"Look, Rei...I don't want to beat around the bush but..."
"But what?"
"Tell me about your friends...you all seem really..."
"Strange?"
"To put it lightly,"
"Well, thanks, Trowa." Rei said, frowning. Trowa sweat-dropped.
"Okay, that's uh, not what I meant." Trowa said, and rubbed the back of his head. "I meant will you please tell me about yourself and your friends? I know that you're not from the same world I am."
"What are you talking about?" Rei asked, she pretended to be utterly confused, but in all truth, she was beginning to put pieces of the puzzle together.
"Look," Trowa said, and sat down on the bed, "are you trying to tell me that you guys are just normal teenagers? Yesterday I heard Setsuna call Usagi 'Serenity-hime', don't tell me that isn't something out of the ordinary. Or is it just a nickname?" Trowa said, and raised his eyebrows.
"What else do you know?"

"Michiru! Do you need all these clothes, or can I dump em'?"
"No, you may not!" Michiru yelled to Haruka from the bathroom. "Hey! I thought you were going to clean the bathroom!"
"Did I say that?"
"Yes!"
"Oops." Haruka said and shrugged her shoulders. You can't please everyone, anyone in her case. Haruka looked at the clothes, threw them in a heap in the corner, and looked around the room for something else to do. When she found nothing that deserved her attention, she flopped down on the bed decided to take a nap.

Bad idea.

"Haruka! Are you going to help me or not!? I can't do this myself you know, you helped make the mess too!"
"You know what, Michiru? You're a poo." Haruka said, defeated, and got up.

^^^

Hiiro looked around his room. Dusty. It looked...dusty. In fact, he didn't believe that the dust had been shifted at all since he arrived here. He choose the room that was the farthest away from everyone else's, and, it had been a long time since it had been in use, obviously. It was dusty when he came, and it was still dusty. The only change in the room, since he had arrived, was the open suitcase on the floor, the un-made bed, and the desk on which his laptop and papers sat. Not much cleaning to do here. He knew Ami wouldn't care about the dust, since the room looked almost identical to what it had when he first arrived. If she did, that was her business. The bathroom wasn't bad either, in fact, Hiiro had kept it up, it needed to be clean for hygene reasons. He frowned. He had been about to get the gold cup in Mario Cart, too.
"Damn," He muttered under his breath. (AN: Thanks for the idea, guys!)

^^^

Minako peeked her head in her room and sighed. Eh...why did she have to have so much stuff? She started with the floor, which was strewn with clothes, makeup and accessories. She threw all her clothes in a heap in front of the door, picked up all her makeup and put it on the dresser, and kicked her shoes and other accessories into the closet. That would have to do, she told herself, no use straining your back over it. She saw that the bathroom would be a much bigger chore, and decided not to set work on it right away, but instead to go see how Duo was fairing.

^^^

Usagi looked around her bathroom, sweat-dropped, and turned on her heel back into the newly-vacuumed bedroom. She stood in the doorway a few minutes, and watched WuFei go trudging past with a basket of dirty clothes. Usagi looked down at her own pile of clothes, and realized that she would have to do the laundry. On his way back to his room, WuFei looked in on Usagi, down at her clothes, and rolled his eyes. "Onna, do you change your clothes three times a day?" he asked, Usagi looked around her floor, and noticed that there were still bits of paper and articles of clothing laying there. Usagi shrugged and smiled,
"I guess the saying that the floor is the biggest shelf in your house is true in my case," WuFei rolled his eyes again, and then grew serious.
"Onn--, er, Usagi, what exactly do you think of...Relena?"
"I don't know her very well. She seems all right to me, if not a little annoying." Usagi said, surprised at his tone and him calling her Usagi instead of 'woman'. WuFei nodded, and turned around, starting to walk away. "WuFei..." She said, he stopped and turned around again. "Uh, never mind." Usagi said, and walked back in her room, her mind busy. Mamoru chose that moment to grace her with his presence.
"Usa-ko, I just finished my room."
"That's nice, Mamoru-kun...I'd like to finish mine too." Usagi said, a little colder then she'd meant to, but, ne, look who decided to show up after ignoring her for a day and a half! Mamoru was the last one she wanted to talk to at that moment.

^^^

Hiiro walked out of his bedroom, knocked into Minako, who was on her way to see Duo, scowled, helped her up, and walked into the living area. Setsuna was in the kitchen, apparently cooking lunch, and the rest of the area was deserted. Hiiro walked over and sat down on the couch and closed his eyes for a minute. He heard, in the far distance, thunder. Without opening his eyes he could tell that it was getting darker out, and a thunder storm was soon on the way. There was another clap of thunder, closer this time, and Relena ran into the living room with wide eyes. She spotted Hiiro, smiled, yelled out her normal greeting, and went to sit next to him on the couch. "Don't you have anything else to do?"
"No, my room isn't a mess, I haven't had a chance!" Relena said, "You're done, Hiiro-kun?"
"Hn." Hiiro said, as a flash of light lit up the now darkened sky. He heard rain start to pour, and Hotaru ran in through the sliding glass door, cursing the storm.

^^^

Minako heard the crash of thunder just as she reached Duo's room, and she jumped on his bed and buried her head in his pillow, which smelled of his strawberry shampoo (^^;;). "Hi Mina-chan," Duo said, and dumped the pile he was carrying into a box. "How about this storm, ne?"
"I hate lightning...and thunder shakes the whole house."
"Don't tell me you are scared, ne?" Duo said, chuckling.
"No, I am not scared!" Minako said, sitting up, she looked around Duo's room, and there was another flash of lightning. Duo still had quite a bit of work to do on his room, Minako laughed a little.
"You'd better clean your bathroom before the lights go out, Duo-chan." Minako said, "You won't have any water."
"Already done. What do you think I've been doing here all morning?"
"Gloating about cleaning?"
"No," Duo said, and put on a face. "How about you? I'm sure you're not done yet, are you?"
"Nani? Uh, no. I should probably go do that, ne? Yeah...see ya." Minako said, and left through the door.

^^^

"EEEE! Is that a plane?!" Makoto yelled, grabbing onto the drapes and looking outside. Shigai, who was sitting on her bed, sweat-dropped.
"It's thunder, Makoto-san."
"Oh, right, I knew that. I just have a small fear of planes, that's all."
"What else are you afraid of?"
"Not much, because I'm 'butt-kickin'' Ju-- Mako." Makoto said, almost realizing her mistake too late.
"You're Super Sailorjupiter, aren't you?" Shigai said, his eyes growing wide.
"Ne! How did you know that?!"
"I can't tell you, but I know that your friends are also Sailor Senshi, and I'm here to help."
"Help with what? Is Meiunko here to help, too?"
"Help with your future. Meiunko and I are, er, somewhat a team."
"We thought she might be an enemy, she seems to be so frail and weak."
"No! She may have that appearance, but appearances are deceiving! Meiunko is very powerful, and will help you in a crisis."
"You aren't going to tell me any more, are you?"
"Gomen ne."

^^^

"Excellent, the Soul-Stealing device is almost ready, then I will have the power to steal the souls of the most powerful beings on the earth, and make myself more powerful." A man in a white suit said to himself, looking at a tiny bug crawl across the floor. "And this place is a dump!" He yelled. "And I'm getting aggravated!! That snoopy scientist has been sneaking around here all day...well, he'll find out nothing!" The man yelled, put his hands together in front of his face. He laughed a cold laugh for a few moments, and then quieted, listening to the approaching storm. "Thief #1! Show yourself so I can speak with you!" He barked. A woman in a black dress appeared before him, and bowed.
"Yes, your majesty?"
"I want you to first target the Sailor Senshi...we need them out of the way. Then, find the Moon Princess." He said. "The device should be ready by Tuesday. I hear the Senshi will be attending a party at the Winner mansion."
"Which one, your majesty?" #1 asked.
"I do not know! Find it, and don't make any mistakes!!"

^^^

WuFei walked past the study on his way to the bathroom and peaked in. He frowned.
"What are you doing, Winner?! You make us clean our living quarters, and you get to go around having tea with your girlfriend? Injustice!" He yelled to Quatre, who was sitting in an armchair drinking tea. Ami was reading a book on the sofa. Quatre looked up and blushed.
"I already cleaned my room WuFei. We're done." Quatre said, and he smiled at WuFei's discombobulated look.
"Injustice!"
"Aren't you done, WuFei?" Ami asked. WuFei peered at her through slitted eyes.
"Yes."
"Then why are you complaining?"
"Because..." WuFei thought for a moment, trying to find a suitable answer for that question, "Justice must be served!!!" Wufei closed the door to the den and continued to the bathroom.

^^^

"Meiunko, you don't have many things...you don't even have many clothes." Chibiusa said, looking around Meiunko's room. It was clean, and there was hardly a thing in the closet.
"I don't need many clothes, Chibiusa. When I find a family, I'll buy new ones."
"Why are you here, anyway?"
"Because Setsuna-san needs my help."
"Are you a Sailor Senshi? Is that why you have Shigai?" Chibiusa asked, her eyes growing wide.
"Sailor...Senshi? No, I'm not. Shigai helps me."
"How long are you staying here?"
"Not very long, just long enough to finish my job."
"What job?" Chibiusa said, and lay down on the bed, ready to continue chatting until the thunder and rain stopped.
"I can't tell you, Chibiusa, it's between Setsuna, Shigai and I. You'll know soon enough, and I'll be free forever."

^^^

"Usagi is a princess, you're a fire warrior, and your friends are Senshi as well." Trowa said.
"You won't tell you friends, will you? I'm almost positive no one else has told. Ami and Minako might have, but the others I know wouldn't tell..."
"I won't I promise. I'm good at holding my tongue."
"I've noticed." Rei said.
"Listen, Rei... at the party tomorrow, you wouldn't mind saving a dance for me, would you?" Trowa asked, Rei blushed, surprised that she'd let him get to her.
"I will." She said, and Trowa got up and left. Followed by his departure was another flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Rei decided to finish her room and pick out her dress for the party. She couldn't believe that she had forgiven men already.

^^^

"You look all washed out, Hotaru." Setsuna said from the kitchen table. Just then the lights flickered and went out. "What a storm."
"I guess the patio isn't the best place to sit when it's raining." Hotaru said.
"Ne, you wouldn't have had that problem if you had sat inside." Relena said. Hotaru, for the first time that day, turned her attention to Relena.
"You're pleasant, aren't you?" She said, and sat down in an armchair. Relena smiled a bitchy smile and put her head on Hiiro's shoulder who immediately stiffened and got up to move.
"May I talk to you for a moment?" Hiiro asked, standing in front of Hotaru, who was reading. She didn't look up at him, instead said:
"Hiiro, you're in my light." When he didn't move, and Relena didn't say anything, Hotaru looked up. "Did you just...ignore me?" She asked. Hiiro nodded,
"Glad you caught on so quickly."
"Nani?" Hotaru asked. He crouched in front of her, and was only a few inches away. Hotaru stared at him straight in the eyes, and he stared back.
"Away from listening ears?"
"I suppose. Setsuna-san, I'll be back soon. If I'm not back in an hour, come looking for me."
"I didn't know you had a sense of humor, Hotaru-chan." Hiiro said as they started to walk down the hallway under Relena's watchful eyes.
"I don't. Still stuck on the -chan, I see."
"I don't have to be."
"What do you want, Hiiro?" Hotaru asked.
"Where do you come from?"
"I told you,"
"Then why are you this way? It's obvious that you have people who love you very much, why are you bitter?"
"For the same reasons you are...I know about you now, Hiiro."
"What?"
"You're not the only one who can hack into computers. You forget that my father was a scientist, and he made his science with computers."
"You-."
"Naughty, Hiiro." Hotaru said, shaking a finger at him, "You thought you could have something on me for nothing? There's a price for everything. Now we cancel each other out. You really shouldn't choose the same password for every file concerning yourself."
"You hacked into my laptop?" Hiiro asked, he was more bewildered then he was mad. How could a girl...anyone, hack into his personal files?
"No need to worry, Hiiro. I said I wouldn't tell anyone, you really should learn to trust me."

^^^

At lunch that day, the lights had returned and the bedrooms and bathrooms were declared finished by Ami and Quatre, the household had the rest of the day off. Some spent it locked in their rooms like Hiiro (no doubt changing his passwords on his laptop ^^) and Meiunko, while others lazed about the house. Some even took it upon themselves to sit outside on the drying rocks by the sea. By dinnertime that night, everyone was exhausted, and everyone from Ami to Wufei had found a dress or suit to wear to Quatre's party. Everyone, though some refused to admit it, was excited about the upcoming party.

^^^

AN: Did I say a glimpse of the party? I meant something that wasn't that. The party comes up next. Have a good rest of the week, minna-san!

Kaze
