"Welcome to Juuban, I hope your stay here will be a pleasant
one" said the conductor of the train as the boy departed with his bags.
The individual in question was a 5'9" auburn haired youth wearing a vest
and jeans.
"Thank you. I hope so too." Said the boy , although not as
enthusiastically .You see this was the first week as an Exchange Student
and he would be starting school in 2 days. He reached into his backpack
and pulled out a small stenographers notebook and looked around in it
for a few moments before finally finding the page he was looking for.
"The address says it's this way. Hope it's not to far or hard to find."
Thought the boy. After wandering the streets for a little while he
finally found the right street and asked for directions to the Juuban
Apartment Complex (1).A helpful old man pointed out that they were just
up the street and after thanking him the youth waked to the building and
inside.
"Lets see," the boy thought," the address says apartment 316A ."
After careful deliberation he decided that three flights of stairs with
2 suitcases and a backpack were a little much so he took the elevator.
Arriving on the third floor he smelled something exquisite cooking in
one of the apartments.
"Well now," he thought," if it smells this good all the time I could get
to like this place." After a few moments of checking he found 316A and
knocked on the Door. A few moments later the door opened to show Makoto
in an apron and the sweet smell grew in the hall.
"Excuse me are you Makoto?" The boy asked.
"Yes and you must be Sho." she smiled and said.
"Yes, Sho Ishogi at your service." he said as he bowed with a
flourish.
"Bring in your stuff and I'll serve you some dinner while we get
you unpacked and settled in." said Makoto.
A few hours had passed during which Sho ate and unpacked into
the small spare room. They had talked a little during the move and now
were sitting in the kitchen and talking.
"Sho I've been meaning to ask you, If you're an American Exchange
student why are your looks and speech so Japanese?" Makoto asked
"Oh, that one is simple my father was the grandson of a Japanese
immigrant who came to America in 1909, and my mother is a Japanese
student who fell in Love and attained citizenship 17 years ago. So if
you want to be real technical I'm only American by birth and education
both of my parents were of Japanese descent." Sho explained. "Also that
is why I speak such natural Japanese I'm bilingual because my mother
spoke Japanese and little English so I learned to speak Japanese For my
mother."
"Well that makes sense. Did you learn anything else from your
parents?" Makoto asked.
"Does being a 4th degree Black Belt in Jujitsu count. "Sho
smiled.
Makoto stared thinking "Good looks and discipline, thank you
Kami."
"4th Degree Black in Jujitsu. I only know a couple of people in this
city who are that good and even less who are better." Makoto stated.
"It was nothing, my dad was an instructor and I started training
as soon as I could walk." Sho stated proudly. "I also know a little of
the Shinto religion from my mother she was a Shinto priestess in
training when she decided to go to school in America and gave it up."
"Oh really I'll have to introduce you to my friend Rei she is a
Shinto priestess in training at the shrine on Cherry Hill." Makoto
started ,"But watch what you say around her she has a little temper
problem."
"It must be part of the training my mother could verbally flay
someone who set her off and boy does she set off easily." Sho laughed.
Just then there was a knock at the front door. Makoto went over
to the door and walked back with Minako and Artemis in tow. "Sho , I'd
like you to meet my good friend Minako Aino and her little friend there
is Artemis, Minako this is Sho Ishogi , a Foreign Exchange Student from
America. He'll be staying here with me during the school year." Makoto
introduced.
"Good to meet you, hopefully you and Makoto can be my friends
while I'm here." Sho Bowed deeply.
Minako's eyes lit up as Sho bowed and her brain went into
boywatching mode" Good looking and polite I think I'll be visiting
Makoto a lot lately" She thought. Minako turned to Makoto " Oh , I
almost forgot why I came over," Minako started," Rei , Ami , Usagi and I
were going shopping at the mall this evening and were wondering if you
wanted to tag along. Sho I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind a new face at
the mall with them, if you want to come too." ,Minako smiled thinking
"At least this one won't."
"I'll go if Makoto goes , else I'll probably never find my way
back." Sho Smiled
"Sure I need a few spices and I here there is a new spice shop
at the mall." Makoto said
"Alright then let me grab something from my bag. and we'll go"
Sho said as he walked to his room.
After he left Minako whispered to Makoto. "By Kami he is gorgeous."
Artemis laughed at this.
Makoto glared at Minako "Hey I saw him first and he's staying
with me!"
Minako eeped and backed up a step" Chill out I was just commenting."
"Sorry that was a little possessive of me." Makoto apologized.
As Sho walked back in he handed a box to Makoto and Minako.
"What's this?" The girls stereoed
"A surprise." Sho grinned evilly and said.
The girls opened the boxes and ahh'ed . Minako's box held a
charm bracelet with a heart on it. Makoto's had about $200 American in
Yen.
"Oh Sho you didn't have to do this we just met." said Minako.
"Ya Sho you didn't ." Makoto echoed
"Yes I did . The money is to help with my staying here and the
charm bracelet, well, I brought some gifts for when I made some friends
and Minako seems friendly." Sho explained.
"In that case we'll take them." The girls said after a few
moments thought.
"Then shall we go." Said Sho as he thought, "My God I'm going
shopping with two beautiful girls ,and, I haven't even seen what the
other 2 look like."
After about a half-hour walk they arrive at the temple . Minako and
Makoto walk right in with Sho right behind them.
"Hello Minako ,Makoto . Who is your friend ?" said Ami.
"Oh, hi Ami, this is Makoto's roommate Sho Ishogi" said Minako.
"Roommate , I didn't know you had a roommate Makoto." Said Ami.
"He's a Foreign Exchange Student from America." Makoto replied
"You must be very intelligent to make it into the Foreign
Exchange program." said Ami politely.
"Why thank you Ami . I appreciate the compliment." Sho said with
just the right amount of modesty .
"He is intelligent ,polite ,and good looking . Makoto has got a
winner here." thought Ami.
"Where's Rei at Ami ?" Minako asked.
"She's inside the shrine right now. finishing up her chores."
Ami replied.
"I'm going to take Sho in to introduce him ."Makoto stated.
"Ok me an Ami will wait Here." Minako smiled
Makoto and Sho were barely inside the shrine when Ami asked. "Why are
all the intelligent good looking ones taken." Ami Sighed .
"Who said he was taken. He's only staying at Makoto's. She
hasn't hooked him yet." Minako smiled predatorily.
"Well, that's one plus anyway but it puts her one step up." Ami
sighed again.
Meanwhile Artemis followed the pair into the Shrine..
"So you're staying with Makoto." Said Rei after being
introduced.
"Yes. By the way I have something for you. Makoto said you were
a Shinto priestess in training so I thought you might like This." Sho
said as he held out a Haraigushi(2).
"Oh this is made in the old style where did you get this!?" Rei
asked.
"My mother used to be a Shinto priestess in training herself.
She made me two in case I lost mine but I thought it would make a nice
gift so it's yours." Sho smiled.
"He's so thoughtful and a hunk too." Rei Thought. "I appreciate
this Sho , I can use one this well made." Rei thanked him.
" No problem . Like I was telling Makoto , I know a little of
the Shinto religion you wouldn't happen to do Fire Readings would you.?"
Sho asked.
"Why yes. Would you like to see?" Asked Rei
"And participate if I could. I know the ceremony inside and out
but we never had a consecrated fire that I could practice with." Sho
explained.
"Well I've never done a tandem but we can always try." Rei
answered.
The two walk over too the Sacred Fire . Sho pulls out his own Haraigushi
And begins to chant in time with Rei. There is a flash and then Sho's
eyes go white for a split second. Rei finishes chanting and looks at Sho
who is still in a trance.
"Sho, Sho hello anyone home." She says while waving a hand in
front of his eyes. he shakes his head as his eyes return to normal.
"That was strange I saw five planets and then the moon in quick
succession . Then I saw your hand and was back here." Sho said a little
in awe.
"And this was your first Try." Rei asked .while Makoto sat
digesting what he had just said.
"Yes , but like I said I knew the ceremony and believed it would
work. Wonder what my vision meant though?" Sho said scratching his head.
" I don't know. "Rei replied while thinking "Except for
maybe....Nahhh"
"Well we better get going if were going to the mall." Makoto
inserted in.
"You're right the others must be getting bored outside" Sho
slapped his head.
Unbeknownst to the trio Artemis had seen and heard the conversation and
he was wondering the same thing as Rei.
The trio walked outside to find Minako and Ami chatting with
another girl.
As Sho saw this he said," Hello you must be Usagi. My name is Sho
Ishogi."
"Why, yes I am." started Usagi," Minako tells me you are staying
with Makoto, Sho."
"She has been very kind to let me stay as a guest in her home
while I'm in Japan." Sho replied turning and smiling at Makoto. Sho
reached into his backpack and rummaged around for a few minutes before
sighing. Turning back to Usagi, "I gave gifts to everyone But I seem to
have forgotten you and Ami , Usagi. Tell you what you take This ," Sho
says as he hands a small Box of salt-water taffy to Usagi, "and I'll get
Ami something at the Mall."
Usagi (already halfway through the box) mumbles around the gummy
Taffy ,"Thamk oo Shuu."
The Group Leaves for the mall. Meanwhile Artemis has left on his
own.
"Luna " says Artemis "There is something strange about the exchange
student staying with Makoto." Artemis continues" He did a fire reading
with Rei and claimed he saw five planets and the moon in quick
succession"
Luna nods " That is a tad strange you should keep an eye on
him."
"Yes. I'll go catch up with the girls and this Sho and you stay
here in case there is trouble. I may need backup and if we both go noone
is left to pull our fat from the fryer." Artemis replied.
"Ok ,but you're the only fat one here." Luna said in a sarcastic
voice.
At this Artemis left to catch the girls at the mall.
"This is Great," thought Sho, "Here I am in Japan only a few
hours and I already managed to make four friends."
Ami was standing off to the left of Sho holding a box which held
a Dazz drive for her computer at home, which Sho had gotten her earlier,
thinking "Sho is such a nice boy but with him staying with Makoto it may
cause problems if the Senshi are needed."
"Hey how bout we get something to eat guys." Usagi((of course))
said.
"Is there anytime you aren't hungry Usagi." Rei started
A tongue war started between Usagi and Rei but was cut off by
Sho neat Reply" That's a good idea, I haven't eaten since before Minako
showed up at Makoto's place earlier."
"See , Rei somebody here agrees with me." Usagi crowed at her
sudden defense.
The five go to an restaurant where they eat and talk. After they
are done and just as they are getting up to leave, screams are heard
from the hall. As the front window of the restaurant bust in revealing
what appears to be a four armed woman dressed in full plate armor.
"Ah fresh targets," Said the creature as she picks up a table,"
and here is a table just for me." She flings the table straight at
Makoto but Sho pushes her out of the way and gets knocked across the
room by the table, where he crashes into a wall and slides down to the
floor unconscious. The creature laughs and mocks "Aww you little friend
seems to be quite the brave, err ,I mean ,stupid one."
Makoto runs over to Sho and pulls the table off of him. She then
turns to the creature and says" That is going to cost you extra freak."
The girls noticing that the restaurant is empty now cry out.
Moon Crystal Power Make Up...
Mars Star Power Make Up...
Venus Star Power Make Up...
Mercury Star Power Make Up...
Jupiter Star Power Make Up...
"You hurt my friend and now by the power of Jupiter you'll pay."
Sailor Jupiter stuck a pose and cried out." Take This. ......SUPREME
THUNDER......" and a blast of lightning flies at the creature and hits
it knocking it down.
Sailor Moon then cries out, "MOON HEALING ESCALATION..."and a bright
white light destroys the creature. The Senshi then turn around and go to
Sho to make sure he's alright. Artemis runs in Just as Sho regains
consciousness with a groan.
Sho shakes his head a few times and then says, "Hey Makoto
what's with the Getup."
The Senshi all gasp.

Later on at the Shrine...
"So your telling me that you," said Sho, pointing at the five girls "are
some kinda all girl superhero team? Why do I have the feeling I don't
want to hear the answer to that." He said as he slapped his
forehead...hard.
Sailor Mars moves closer to Sho and says " Well , I guess now we know
why you had that vision in the Fire Reading."
"What are you saying? That I am supposed to know about this for some
reason?" Sho blurted out obviously freaking out a bit.
"I can't think of any other reason why you'd have had that kind of
vision." She replied. "But what I can't understand is why."
Just then Artemis and Luna walked in. Seeing that Sho knew about the
senshi they decided to join the conversation. Artemis Began "He must be
either from the Silver Millenium or the Dark Kingdom. Mercury can you
scan him with you computer?" Sailor Mercury took out the small computer
and her visor and Proceeded to walk around Sho who was staring at the
two cats with a look of pure what-the-heck-have-I-Been-Smoking.
After a few Minutes She raised her visor," I'm not picking up any dark
energy from him but he does have a curiously high mystic reading ,almost
as high as Rei's."
"Say what......" Sho and Sailor Mars stereoed.
"I said his reading is nearly as High as yours. To be precise his
reading is about .005 less than yours, as Rei not Sailor Mars mind you
your Rating is twice as High then." Mercury explained.
"So your saying I'm some kind of wizard or monk or priest or somesuch?"
Sho stammered out. "Isn't there some other reason? I don't think I like
the Idea of being some kind of Mystic."
"You obviously have some mystic potential but that's all its just
potential, Like a candle before its lit, The potential for light is
there but it hasn't been lit yet. Light the candle and you have light.
Understand?" Sailor Mercury continued.
"The potentiality theorem states that an object displays potential in
ratio to it's actual level." Sho stated still slightly freaked "So , I'm
going to be even more Mystical if this gets activated fully?"
Mercury , a little startled by his remark," Wait a Minute he's right. If
his potential is Activated he will be," punches a few keys on the
computer," approximately 8.5% stronger. Which is only slightly lower
than Sailor Moon herself and .1 higher than Sailor Mars." She finished.
"Say what..." Mars and Sho stereoed... again.
Meanwhile just 20 meters away A dark shadow had just Appeared and was
listening intently.
"Nearly as powerful as Sailor Moon! He must be turned to our force or it
will go Badly." gaped the shadowed form in surprise.
Sho and Sailor Mars suddenly perked up and began looking around.
"I sense some Dark Energy nearby." Said Sailor Mars.
"I... I... I feel it too." said a stunned Sho.
Suddenly Sho found himself flying up in the air. "Oh, You'll feel it all
right , perhaps a little more than you'd like." said the still shadowed
form.
Suddenly Sho started to be swallowed by the Shadow headfirst. The senshi
couldn't attack with Sho in the way and looked on in horror as Sho was
pulled through the shadowy form and fell out the other Side of him. Now
he was wearing jet black armor in the shape of plate mail and a helm on
his head covering his now glowing red eyes. The Senshi Gasped at the
sudden capture and change in their new friend as the Shadow disappeared
taking The new Sho with it.
The shadowed one and the now changed Sho materialized in a Cave .
"My liege I have captured one who is preported to be stronger than any
of the senshi." Said the shadow speaking to the air around him
"You have done well Shade. This one will be able to destroy the
meddlesome senshi so that the Dark Kingdom will finally rule all." a
voice replied from all around the cave.
"What are we going to do that thing took Sho and gave him the Dark
treatment." said Sailor Jupiter.
"He must have overheard us talking and decided that Sho was potentially
a threat to them and decided to , shall we say , 'draft' him." said
Sailor Mercury. "I'll use my visor and see if we can't locate him."
Mercury pulled up her visor and started scanning the area. "I think I've
found him but his pattern is slightly different." Mercury said after a
few moments.
"How different?" said Mars in a worried tone.
"Well for one his Mystic rating has shot through the roof. It's
currently holding at 52.889." said Mercury.
"Only 52 that ain't so bad. There shouldn't be any problems returning
him to normal." said Mars.
"It is when your rating is only 32.889 Mars." Mercury explained as Mars
merely stared slack jawed at Mercury taken completely off guard.
"Uh , Mercury just out of curiosity but didn't you just say that he
would be 1 above Mars and lower than me. Just on a whim, what is my
rating." Sailor Moon stammered worriedly.
"Your rating is 40.208,and yes I did say that but apparently what that
shadow did to him has boosted him even higher than what I thought."
Mercury explained.
"That's bad isn't it?" Sailor Moon replied cluelessly.
"Of course it is you ditz!!" Mars snapped.
Meanwhile ...
"What is your goal?" said Shade.
"To crush the Senshi for the glory of the Dark Kingdom." The Darker Sho
replied.
"And what is your name?" Shade continued.
"I am Dark Argent." Dark Argent replied.
"Now go... and be victorious!!!" Shade pointed and shouted.
"But what are we going to do. He's probably going to be faster and
stronger than all of us." Jupiter said, entering her opinion.
"His mind is probably being controlled. So we should have an advantage
in planning and strategy." Mercury replied.
"Then that is what we'll do. We wait till he shows and do everything in
our power to stop him without hurting him." Mars said." Keep your
communicators with you at all times and be prepared to react at a
moments notice , understand odanga atama." Mars finished.
End Chapter 2
Well Write and tell me how you liked it.
<<<<<Sailor Moon - That which does not Kill you... >>>>>>
Chapter Three ... 'Only Makes you Stronger'...
All Characters are the Property of Naoko except Sho who is my Brainchild
and Kyoya who is comic relief.
This story takes place in The Continuity of Sailor Moon ........Well it
takes place somewhere. I've decided it takes place between R and S.
The Characters Speech will be Translated to English Except where I feel
it is Inappropriate.
This Chapter will be somewhat longer than the previous chapters because
I finally got over my writer's block.
Also one Change I've made(and I'm not even sure I changed it) Rei goes
to the same school as the others now.
........................................................................
........
The senshi all set out after That towards the direction that Sho's
reading had shown. Suddenly , just as they left the city there was a
fierce beeping from Mercury's Computer.
"He's Heading in our direction." Mercury informed the others.
"Spread out and get ready to contain him." Mars said to the others.
Suddenly a sphere of energy burst in and the Senshi had to dive to get
out of the way. Sailor Jupiter prepared an attack but had to dodge
another attack before she could fire her lightning. Finally Dark Argent
appeared and said
"Surrender Senshi or be destroyed. I am Dark Argent and you have no hope
against me." Dark Argent said.
Sailor Mars shouted "Sho you have to fight this. Your our friend , not
our enemy."
"Sho is no more , there is only Dark Argent." Dark Argent replied with a
slight delay.
While Mars had his attention Sailor Venus attempted to hit Dark Argent
from behind. "Venus Crescent Beam..." She cried as a beam of light sped
for Dark Argent but was stopped short as Shade jumped in.
"You're the one behind this and I'll get you for taking a new friend
away from us." Sailor Moon said and posed.
"Oh yes , any other friends I might be interested in. Bwahahahaha" Shade
laughed at the fuming Sailor Moon.
Meanwhile Dark argent and Jupiter ,Mercury, and Venus were Going at it
Tooth and nail. The senshi had given up on using there attacks and
concentrated on just physically attacking Dark Argent. Dark Argent was
having the upper hand still and Mercury was nearly unconscious but
couldn't back off or the others would be overwhelmed. Venus and Jupiter,
Having far more experience at hand to hand , were having a better time
of it but were starting to tire. Dark Argent appeared to barely be
breaking a sweat.
Meanwhile Shade was going up against Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon and was
not faring as well as his new minion. He was singed in quite a few
places by Mars Fire attacks and had barely managed to avoid being
destroyed by Sailor Moon. Shade thought " This is getting a little to
rough for me If they would just stop trying to fry me for a second I
could port out of here." Just then Mars slipped in and Slapped an Akuryo
Taisan on him.
Shade felt the Talisman strike him and screamed seconds before Sailor
Moon's follow up struck him and he disintegrated.
Just then Dark Argent Let loose a roundhouse kick That took Jupiter and
Mercury across Their heads which threw them to the side and knocked
Mercury out. He then jumped away and disappeared.
Back at the Temple... ...
"He'll be Back I can't believe He'd retreat just because that dark
character got himself destroyed." Rei said.
"The problem is ," Ami started " That we have no idea when he could hit
because he has dropped off my computers scanner."
"We'll just have to stay on our guard and be sure to keep our
communicators with us at all times." Minako inserted as everyone looked
at Usagi.
"Hey , I only forgot it that once and I got there in time to dust that
creep. So lay off." Usagi said about to start crying.
Makoto's house early the next day
"He just moved in yesterday. I can't believe he is gone just like that.
He's supposed to start at his school tomorrow and I'll have to call him
in sick. That'll be bad for his first day at a new school. Listen to me
I'm talking like he just got lost outside, The Dark Kingdom's got a line
on him for Kami's sake" Makoto said to herself.
Just then the phone rang...
"Moshi Moshi... Kino residence." Makoto answered.
"Makoto , This is Ami. I've Located him."...
Later... The Shrine
"He started coming this way as soon as we Henshined up." Mercury
announced.
"Good That means we won't have to go looking for him." Jupiter put in.
"Mars do you have that talisman ready." Venus asked.
"Yes but I still don't know if this will work. I never made a talisman
to just hold someone. "Mars replied.
"He'll be here in about 5 minutes." Mercury informed.
"Okay Senshi you know the plan keep him distracted until Mars can slap
that talisman on him." Venus reminded everyone.
Once again Dark Argent appeared following one of his glowing energy
balls.
"Supreme Thunder... Shabon Spray Freezing..." Jupiter and Mercury cried
out as They attacked from either side of Dark Argent. He was rocked left
to right as the two attacks collided with him. His legs were frozen in
the ice from Mercury's Shabon Spray freezing but he shattered it with a
small blast. As he was busting out however Mars chanted "Rin Pyou Tou
Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen Akuryo Taisan!!..." and slapped the talisman
on Dark Argent's forehead. Dark Argent stood transfixed as the talisman
held to his forehead.
While he was held transfixed Sailor Moon cried out "Moon Princess
Halation...". As the energy struck Dark Argent a transformation took
place as the dark armor melted off and was replaced by a white outfit
with long sleeves and flared legged pants a deep v-neck and a silver
cape with a silver stripe along the sleeves and legs. A silver coronet
appeared on his forehead and metallic looking boots on his feet. Finally
a crest of some sort appeared on his belt. After the transformation he
looked like he was wearing a slightly modified naval dress uniform.
Luna and Artemis stared at Sho then each other then Sho then Each
other...etc before saying almost in unison "I thought that was just a
myth."
Later
Luna explained "In the Silver Millenium it was theorized that it was
possible for a man with an extremely high Mystic Rating would be able to
become a senshi. It was never proven because no man in the Silver
Millenium had a high enough Mystic Rating. I can only theorize that his
own high rating combined with what was done to him by the Dark one you
destroyed and your healing combined all boosted his Mystic rating high
enough for a Henshin to take place."
"So I'm some kind of superhero now. This is turning out to be a strange
year. Wonder what my friends back home would say if they found out." Sho
said amazed.
"We could use some extra help around here while Mamoru is away." Minako
said.
"Who is Mamoru? I haven't heard his name mentioned yet." Sho asked.
As the girls explained all about Mamoru Sho mused about the weirdness of
all of this he came to Japan as a foreign exchange student and now he
was discussing lifestyles of the magically active. It boggled his mind a
little.
"So this guy shows up in a Tux and top hat and helps out by throwing
foliage at the bad guys. Sounds like good distraction value and little
else." Sho said
The girls all gave him a piercing look before Rei started laughing "I
never saw it in quite that way before but isn't that Just what Mamoru
does, distracts the Youma at just the right moment for one of us to nail
them."
"Well ya, but he's making him sound unhelpful. Also don't forget how
many times he's pulled me out of a blast just before it nails me." Usagi
chided Rei.
"Well if you weren't such a klutz, Odango Atama, Then he wouldn't have
to pull your fat out of the fire so much." Rei teased.
"I am not FAT..." Usagi nearly screamed
"...Which is a surprise considering how you eat." Rei countered.
At this time Sho leaned over and whispered to Makoto and Minako "Is this
normal between those two?"
The two girls smiled and said "No , most of the time it's worse."
Sho looked for some sign that they were kidding but they were perfectly
straight faced. He looked back over at the two whose fight had degraded
to name calling and sticking out their tongues at each other.
"Well Sho," Makoto began, " If your going to make your first day of
school tomorrow we had better go."
"Well ladies I guess I'll see you around." Sho said as he and Makoto
waved goodbye.
As they were walking back to her apartment he began "Well , I'll have to
say this has got to be the weirdest weekend I've ever had. I mean let's
get real here I was turned into a raging madman and now I got this
rather large beltbuckle that let's me become some kind of superhero."
"Shhhhh, never talk about that out in the open. If someone heard about
that You'd either draw the evil to you like a magnet which would make
your life expectancy nil or you'd be hounded by people which would more
than likely make your life hell and theirs dangerous." Makoto quietly
told Sho.
"Sorry, I'm kinda new at the secret identity thing. So what school do
you and our friends go to?" Sho asked.
"Juuban High School. Where will you be going..."Makoto was interrupted
by the look on Sho's face. "I take it from that look on your face that
I'll be showing you around school tomorrow morning."
"That might help yes. Well at least I know that I'll have a few friends
at School here in Japan." Sho replied.
Later at Makoto's Apartment
That was a great meal. I could get used to such treatment easily. I
imagine the other girls must envy you that you always get what you want
for dinner." Sho said jokingly.
"Ya , I suppose they do. Although I never really thought about it
before." Makoto replied.
"What do you say tomorrow I make dinner for you?" Sho asked.
"You can cook!?" Makoto gaped.
"What a guy ain't allowed to cook." Sho replied " Tell ya what the
recipe I have makes enough for 9 we can invite the others over from what
I hear Usagi can eat enough for 3 so it'll be just enough for all 6 of
us. And you also have all the spices that I need . I'll just need to
pick up a few Things I figure that we could do that on the way back from
school."
"That sounds appealing I'll phone the others and ask them what they
think." Makoto got up and started to phone the others.
Minako was as amazed as Makoto to know a man who could cook. Usagi
didn't care it involved food. Ami sent an affirmative as long as she
could get her studying done. Rei had some chores to do but she'd be over
as soon as they were finished.
The Next Morning
The two got up early , Makoto to make breakfast and to pack bento
lunches for the two, Sho so he could do his katas and get a shower.
Sho's chest was bare as he began his katas. They began slow with few
kicks but as he sped up he started throwing in high kicks, faster and
faster. Next he began to throw jumping roundhouses and spinning side
heels in. As he wound down he finished his katas in the exact same spot
he began them in.
Suddenly from off to the side there was clapping. Sho turned and saw
Makoto had come to watch while he had been in the middle of his katas
and had a mile-wide grin on her face. "Your really good but you need to
pay more attention to your surroundings. If I had thrown a punch instead
of clapping I'd probably have caught you with it." Makoto informed.
"To true, but this was my speed kata it was designed to improve speed
and endurance. I tend to block everything out when I'm doing this Kata
so I can concentrate on going ever faster. But, you raise a good point
what good is speed if I don't notice the guy coming up on my blind
side." Sho stated. "Well I better get a shower if I'm going to eat that
food I smell and still get to school early." Sho said and departed for
the Bathroom.
After a quick shower and breakfast the two set off for the school. Sho
paid close attention to the route they were taking in case he ever had
to walk alone.
Makoto explained which teachers to watch out for , which teachers were
nice, which teachers were dull, and which teachers gave the most
homework.
Sho walked in silence absorbing all this information. When they reached
the school Makoto showed Sho to the principals office to check in and
then to his homeroom. By then other people were starting to drift in.
The boys were severely outnumbered in his homeroom it looked like a
ration of about 5:1 He noticed a familiar face as it appeared Minako was
in his homeroom.
"Hey Minako looks like we get to see each other before this evening."
Sho said and waved.
"Your going to school here!? Makoto didn't say anything about this on
the phone last night." Minako replied a little shaken. "Well , Just what
are you planning on making for dinner tonight."
"Now, now Minako That would be telling." Sho answered with a grin.
Just as the bell rang Usagi came running in breathless.
"Class I'd like to introduce a new student today. He is coming all the
way from the United States as a foreign exchange student." The teacher
said after calming everyone down.
"Watashiwasu Ishogi Sho." Sho introduced himself and bowing formally.
Usagi gasped and said "Sho , your going to school here!?" before
realizing that she had spoken out of order in class and got a glare from
the teacher.
"I take it from your reaction That you've met Mr. Ishogi, Miss Tsukino.
Good that decides who he'll be sitting near for help until he is
straightened out." The teacher said, Usagi's face dropping further as he
said each word.
Lunch Time
"Sho are you going to tell us what we're having for dinner tonight."
Makoto asked.
"Makoto , I can't even tell you the ingredients. You are so good in the
kitchen your liable to know what I'm making just from them." Sho said
with a wicked gleam in his eyes.
Suddenly a rough hand on his appeared on his shoulder. "Oh the little
Gaijin girl can cook." said a well built man who then spun Sho roughly
around. "We don't want any stinking Gaijin in our school, So why don't
you just leave and go back to America."
"If you don't remove your arm from my shoulder I'll remove it from
yours." Sho said standing up.
The punk was having no more of this he hauled back to punch Sho . Sho
ducked under the punch swung around behind the punk and had both of his
arms and his head in a lock resembling a full nelson.
"Girls I'm going to take this one to the principal." Sho said holding
the struggling punk in the lock. Sho walked off with the punk to the
principals office.
"This is the third one today. I must tell you I was real surprised that
you didn't just beat them to a bloody pulp. I've read your file it says
you're a high ranking jujitsu master." The principal replied turning to
the punk. "Kyoya I've warned you about picking fights. If I see you in
this office one more time I'll have you expelled. Do you here me?"
"Yes sir." Said Kyoya looking a little scared. He thought "No wonder
that guy snagged me with so little effort I'm lucky he didn't beat me to
a bloody pulp."
"Well I'm going back to my lunch sir. Thanks for taking this well back
in America I got in trouble even when I locked em up and carted them to
the principal, I find this refreshing." Sho said as he left.
Later that Day
On the way home from school Makoto and Sho stopped as planned for the
ingredients for dinner. "This where I typically do my shopping for
foodstuffs ,Sho. They have a fairly good selection and I rarely have to
look elsewhere." Makoto explained.
"Good , I need you to pick up 2 pounds of ground beef while I gather the
rest of the ingredients that I'll need." he told her. "We'll meet back
at the checkout in," checking his watch " about 15 minutes. Please get
the freshest ground beef that you can it helps the flavor, not to tell
the chef how to cook mind you." Sho said with a smile.
"Ok, see ya in a few." Makoto said still wondering what he was planning
for dinner.
Suddenly there was a commotion from outside the store and with a crash
the front window of the store blew in. Sho was already looking out of
the store when Makoto reached the front to check out the disturbance. A
large multi-armed Youma was grabbing screaming people and draining there
energy and dropping the unconscious victims to the street. Makoto pulled
Sho back out of view and pulled out her henshin stick.
Making sure noone was in sight she cried out "Jupiter Star Power, Make
Up...".
Sho having never actually seen Jupiter's transformation was struck dumb
a little. She was completely naked for a second there.
After contacting the others Jupiter Said "Sho transform I might need a
little help with this one till the others arrive."
"Uh , Jupiter I uh, well I really don't know how to transform. I don't
even know what senshi I am." Sho stammered out.
"Crap , well try to do it while I see if I can slow this guy down a
little." Jupiter said as she went to attack the Youma.
Sho kept a close eye on Jupiter as she attacked.
Outside
"Jupiter Thunder Dragon..." Jupiter cried and a bolt of electricity shot
out in the form of a dragon. The youma not expecting any resistance took
it in the gut but it appeared to do little but enrage it.
"That tickled Senshi , where are all your little friends." The youma
taunted Sailor Jupiter. All of a sudden It reached out with one of its
arms and hit Jupiter with a forearm knocking her about ten feet away.
"You didn't really think you could fight me alone. Did you?" It stalked
toward Jupiter who swept its feet out from under it.
"Actually yes I did. Supreme Thunder..." Jupiter cried out as a bolt of
lightning struck the Youma on the ground .
Ignoring the lightning the Youma grabbed Sailor Jupiter by two of his
arms "You are going to die very slowly. I'll be rewarded greatly for
taking out one of the senshi." The Youma laughed as he prepared to
pummel Her with his other arms.
Meanwhile Back in the Store
"Jupiter is in trouble, I just wish I knew how to transform into Sailor
Silver..." Sho thought and then did a mental double-take, "Wait a minute
where'd that name come from. I guess it fits what with my getup before."
Suddenly a voice sounded nearby. "You are Sailor Silver, Senshi of
Guardians grab the Silver Crest hold it in front of you and say the
first thing to pop into your head." The voice said.
Outside
"I think I'll start by ripping your arms off." The youma said pulling
Jupiter's arms away from her body. Sailor Jupiter began to scream in
pain.
Inside
Sho could here Jupiter's scream from outside. "I have to help her." Sho
thought as he held the Silver Crest out in front of him. "Here goes
nothing. Silver Accension..."
Outside
"Aww does that hurt. Here let me make it all better." The youma said
beginning to pull her legs as well.
Suddenly the youma was flying through the air and Jupiter was on the
ground gasping. "Hurt any of the senshi and face my wrath. I am Sailor
Silver senshi of Guardians," Sailor Silver had a glimmering shield of
energy in front of him. Which he gathered into a sphere about six foot
around " ...and now die. Argent Flare..." Sailor Silver threw the sphere
at the Youma and turned to Sailor Jupiter who was still on the ground
barely conscious. He didn't even here the scream of pain or watch the
Youmas destruction.
A few moments earlier a block away...
"She's right up ahead. I hope she hasn't bitten off more than she can
chew fighting that Youma with only Sho as backup." Sailor Mars said
before stopping and staring in slack mouthed awe as Sailor Silver threw
his Argent flare at the Youma and turning his back on its destruction to
see to someone on the ground...
Seeing that the monster was destroyed people started to gather around
the two lone Senshi. Sailor Silver grabbed Jupiter in his arms and
jumped to the roof of the store and away leaving a crowd of awed and
confused bystanders wondering in unison, "Who in the Heck was that"
