Watching a Rising Star
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Go on Kasumi that's your cue, I mean that's Rising Sun's cue."
Waldeker smiled after speaking and gently pushed down on the hovering
girl's shoulder, his smile shifting to a sly grin Waldeker said "This
time don't forget you have a photographic memory." He laughed as
Kasumi rolled her eyes in slight irritation at being reminded of a
mistake then she gave a nervous smile and dropped into the cloud
cover.
A moment later Waldeker's smile vanished as he heard a distant "Oh
My" and his x-ray vision revealed that Kasumi had stiffened and
frozen for an instant just below the clouds. Waldeker thought "Maybe
it wasn't such a bright idea telling her not to look at the crowd
until she had to."
Putting aside his concern when Rising Sun continued to descend he
returned to scanning the crowd below the worry trying to creep back.
Rising Sun, she was so young, just a girl, and Japan was asking her
fill a Ultrawoman's shoes."
"Perverts!" Agent Dan Bar glanced from the TV and silently decided
this time he agreed with the youngest Tendo the camera men were
paying entirely to much attention to the large Red Dot on Rising
Sun's uniform. Dan glanced at the three Tendo's watching and thought
about the first time he had enter this house noting the changes a
year had brought.
The TV and VCR were only two of the many changes Kasumi had
indirectly brought to there life and Dan wondered about their
reactions when Kasumi finally decided to tell them she was Rising
Sun. Despite taking twice weekly martial arts classes under Soun for
eight months Dan wasn't prepared to guess how Rising Sun's father or
sisters would react and that worried him . The Japanese were an odd
mixture of modern and medieval values and he had quickly discovered
the Tendo's were among the oddest and most unpredictable.
Dan looked through the kitchen wall his attention pulled from the TV
and Rising Sun' possible family problems by the slight sound of the
the Tendo's live in Security agent finishing the preparation of
several bowls of popcorn, smiling as an idea came to him that might
irritate his Martial arts Senshi and possibly lift Ami's spirits, her
body language seemed to indicate she was a little down and he
suspected she was thinking about being transferred here a year ago
going from the emperors security staff, it must have felt like a
demotion being sent to this family after serving as part of the
emperor's security.
Security agent Ami Tokugawa smiled as she tried to hand Dan a bowl of
popcorn, but instead found herself seated in his cushioned chair by a
flurry of ultra-speed martial arts moves. Blinking in surprise she
discovered a bowl of popcorn sitting in her lap and a single glass of
iced tea in her left hand she almost laughed as Dan gave her a low
european bow before taking the folding chair that she had meant for
herself and saying in an exaggerated english accent "The lady may
have my seat and I'll sit here after all it's not like I need a
seat." to put emphasis to his words Dan was floating about five
centimeters above the metal chair.
Looking around the room for the vanished tray that had held the
snacks and drinks Ami was surprised to see that each of the Tendo's
was holding a bowl of popcorn and a drink, the faces of both girls
were showing signs of surprise, but Soun's face showed a mixture of
irritation and approval after taking a drink of his tea he said
"Student your use of the still air techniques to move were passable,
but you must work harder your speed badly needs to improve I was able
to track and strike you three times as you passed out the popcorn and
drinks."
Ami watched as Dan gave a slight bow from his seated position and
mixed english and Japanese saying "Yes Senshi" before turning his
attention back to the TV. Ami knew that Agent Dan was only trying to
lighten her mood and he had, for a few moments, but it also served to
high light what had been bothering her all day. Ami looked wistfully
at the TV watching the Ultrahuman standing to one side of the Prime
minister and wistfully thought "It should have been me." as she
relived the orders that had moved her from among the cooking
contestants into the edge of the crowd mere minutes before the
assassin's attack.
Nabiki watched her sister out of the corner's of her eyes as Agent
Bar's cab turned a corner Akane was standing beside her a deep blush
covering her face after asking the Ultra Agent to deliver a video
tape of the Rising Sun presentation to Kasumi.
Akane was at it again she had all the signs of a developing crush.
Nabiki shook her head and thought "Little sister what makes you think
you'll have a chance". Dan's views of Kasumi were so obvious, he
thought of her much like their father or rather as an America father
would think of his daughter.
Dan had readily admitted to the family that he had been the Ultraman
that had flown Kasumi to the experimental medical center and after
starting martial arts training under Soun he had quickly volunteered
to watch over her for Soun. He often delivered a short letter or the
rare video tape with each training session visit. Less than five
weeks ago she and Akane had over heard a lengthy discussion their
father and Dan had had about a certain young man wanting to go on a
date with Kasumi.
Both girls had listened as Dan went over a detailed background check
of the boy with Soun and both girls had had to suppress giggles as
their Father suggested that Dan be sharpening a sword when the boy
came to pick up Kasumi. A week later Nabiki had felt sympathy for
the boy after Agent Dan said he had substituted cleaning a shotgun
for the sword and that it had worked very well the boy had been a
perfect gentleman on his date with Kasumi.
Nabiki shook her head and as Akane headed back through the gates
subvocalizing "Move over Dr. Tofu".

Kasumi frowned as she watched the videotape of Rising Sun's
introduction to the world. She watched herself land by the Emperor,
the Prime Minister and the American Ambassador. A hush had fallen on
the crowd as her helmeted form, concealed in a skintight white
costume, dropped from the cloud cover that had hidden her. Said
cloud cover also blocked Secret Service Agent Waldeker from view.
She had waited there with him for a half an hour until she was cued
to appear. Almost shaking her head, Kasumi thought "Agent Dan" was
right, the red dot taken from the Japanese flag was like a big
target! Almost the instant her feet touched the stage, the camera
had zeroed in on the large red dot on her chest, much to her
embarrassment as she watched herself on the gigantic television
screen! Her belt and that red dot, along with the one at the same
position on her back, were the only non-white color in the thick...
body-stocking? wetsuit?
Kasumi was unsure what to call her uniform. It was made of a new
secret synthetic material that was very heat resistant and even
stronger than spider's silk! The Prime Minister said it cost at least
five hundred times more than Kevlar to produce. That feeling reminded
her of the wetsuit that she had worn on her eight visits to
"Waldeker's Folly." It, along with the specially refitted scuba-tank
and rebreather helmet allowed her to visit outer space! But
"Waldeker's Folly" wasn't a folly in her mind! She had gazed
peacefully for hours from the crystal windows set into one of the
five, stainless steel, milk-tanks that Waldeker had fashioned into a
crude space station. Perhaps space garden would be a better term,
Kasumi ruminated during the crowds roar of acceptance. Why call it a
garden? From the number of plants it contained, of course. He had
etched WALDEKER'S FOLLY on it and set it to slowly spinning. She
hadn't realized how nice it was to have things fall down, until they
didn't! The other Ultra-class Secret Service Agents all laughed and
teased, but like her they had all asked for and been given a tiny
private room on Waldeker's Folly.
There was even a room marked for Superman and Ultrawoman, but agent
Waldeker had confided in her that he and his wife didn't visit often.
Dragging her mind from the magnificent memories of viewing earth from
55,000 miles out, Kasumi frowned at yet another mistake made the day
before.
She was glad for her outlandish uniform, between the nearly
featureless antenna winged helmet and the very tight wetsuit, the
only exposed part of her body was her hands and thankfully, the deep
blush that had started when she had frozen above the crowd didn't
seem to be reaching her hands.
