Chapter 10: A Day with the Girls

Here we go again! This fanfic is based on the

Naoko (Did I mention she rocks?). When I started to write this one, I
thought. 'Hmm I never did a part where Moshi was at home with her mother.'
One thing led to another and the stuff below is the result.
The sun rose in Minato-ku that morning, prancing it's way through the
streets and up the stairs into a small girl's room. The small girl rose
and stretched, groaning that she had to go to school that day. Rolling
over she looked at her clock and noticed the day, it was Saturday, no
class! Today her and the girls were going to just hang out all day. In a
flash she was from her bed, tying her long ponytails up. She dashed and
took a hot shower, she could smell the huge breakfast her mother was
cooking, and it made her mouth drool. Apple pancakes, her favorite!
Rushing out of her shower, she dug through her closet. She frowned at
that pink fuku she wore to class each day and pulled out a plain t-shirt
and a pair of purple overalls. Dressing quickly she headed downstairs
where the smell of the pancakes became potent.
"Ohaiyo okaa-san!" she smiled, kissing her mother on the cheek.
"Today is such a beautiful day!"
"Ohaiyo, Mo. Hai it is a beautiful day indeed, so beautiful I made
your favorite. Apple pancakes!" her mother beamed, placing a large plate
of steaming pancakes in the middle of the table. Moshi hurried so fast
downstairs she didn't even unhook her ponytails. She munched noisly as
her mother fussed about her, straightening her hair, unhooking them from
the loop.
Honestly Mo, I know you love food, but not to the point where
personal grooming is ignored," she chastised, causing Mo to choke on a
piece of pancake.
"Gomen, I'll pay more attention to it in the future. I just couldn't
help it today. I was hungry!" Moshi said, as she finished off the last
pancake.
Miko smiled. "It's ok, lets go have our juice on the veranda," she
suggested.
Passing from the outside one would think that Miko and Moshi were
related. The two had a nice talk while slowly sipping on their orange
juice. Miko made sure that her and Moshi had quality time together,
especially when Moshi is usually busy with classes and Miko with work.
Miko sighed and looked at the sun, today seemed such a lazy day. Tomorrow
would begin her month long vacation, a vacation greatly needed. She
planned on going to America for a while, but she knew Moshi wouldn't go,
too many bad memories existed in America for Moshi. Her father died while
they were in America.
Takanera Migando, was a gentle man. Tall as he was nice, he never
hesitated to give his wife and daugher a hug when he felt they needed it.
He had a pair of the most brilliant violet eyes Miko ever seen. In the
future whenever she remembered him, the first thing she saw was his eyes,
the same eyes that Moshi had. Miko met Migando at work, at Kitanka
Advertising. The two instantly hit it off. Four years later they were
married and was with child. When Moshi was born the first thing he said
to her was, "Hello pretty one." and the name Moshi stuck with her. When
Moshi was 11, her father came from Japan to suprise her for her 12th
birthday. The three went out to dinner at her favorite American resturant,
the Olive Garden. On the drive home, a car rammed them from the back,
causing Moshi's head to snap so violently she blacked out. He careened
over to the edge of the road, trying to keep the car from falling in the
ditch. When they crashed, he dragged his wife and daughter from the
wreck. Little did he know he had massive damage to his ribs, each breath
he took filled his lungs with blood. If he didn't get attention soon, he
would drown. As he lay gasping, Moshi opened her eyes and held her
father's hand as he died. She was never the same after that moment.
It didn't suprise Miko so, that when she said she wanted to go back
to America, Moshi left the house in a panic. It was only two years ago,
and Moshi's 15th birthday was coming soon. No wonder Moshi hated
birthdays, because it was on her's she lost her father. She blinked
hard, trying to force the tears to go away.
"Okaa-san, Daijoubu?" Moshi asked, with worry filling her face.
"Daijoubu. I was thinking of Migando again, I miss him so," she said
as fresh tears spilled down her cheeks, creating small pools on the table's
surface.
Moshi's violet eyes quivered as they filled up with tears also. "I
miss otoo-san also, that's why I hate America so, that's why I never want
to go back there, that's why I don't want you to go there, you may never
come BACK!" a sob escaped her lips, causing Miko to embrace her and
hold her.
"Oh Moshi," was all she was able to say, her throat tightned with
grief as the pair embraced each other and cried softly.
* * * *
Rei looked at her watch again and tapped her foot, Moshi was late,
something had to be wrong. Unlike Usagi, Moshi was rarely late for a
meeting. Today was suppose to be their day out. Even Usagi was there on
time! "Oh where could she be!" she said, tapping her foot harder.
Ami looked up from her Calculus book, carefully marking her spot with
her finger. "Rei-chan, why don't you call her?" she said before promptly
going back to reading.
"I'll call her, since I'm starting to get bored anyways!" Usagi said,
leaping to her feet.
* * * *
Mother and daughter sat in silence, when the ringing of the phone
pierced like a knife, interupting their thoughts. Moshi made a dash for
the phone.
"Moshi Moshi, Takanera residence, Moshi speaking."
"Mo-chan, Sore wa Usagi. Are you coming or what? Rei-chan is
starting to get angry and you know how I hate it when she get's angry!"
Usagi said, gripping the phone.
She gasped, she totally forgot!! "ack! Gomen, I was talking with my
mom and we started talking about dad--" she left off.
Usagi blushed, here she was badgering her about being late. "Don't
apologize, I'll tell Rei and the others."
"Where are you at now?" Moshi asked, quickly changing subjects.
Usagi twisted the phone cord around her fingers. "We're still at
Rei's waiting and don't forget this time, we want a real slumber party.
No more walking out!"
"OK, OK, I'm on my way," Moshi giggled. "Ja ne."
"Ja ne," Usagi responded, replacing the reciever in it's cradle.
Moshi went back into the kitchen to put her dishes away, when her
mother appeared. "Who was that on the phone Mo?"
"Usagi-chan, she was reminding me that we agreed to study today and
tomorrow," she hinted.
"I know a slumber party when I smell one. Go on, I'll take over
here," she smiled as she bent to give Moshi a hug. Moshi skipped out the
kitchen into her room where she packed her clothes and her school
books.
* * * *
"Well?!" Rei said, nearly shouting in Usagi's ear.
Usagi winced, covering her ear. "She forgot..."
"Why did she forget!?" Minako interupted.
"Will you let me finish!" Usagi wailed. "She was talking with her mom
about her dad. You know he died on her birthday, and her birthday is
coming up."
Rei blushed, she felt bad, real bad. "I didn't know about the
birthday part."
Ami only nodded, while Makoto sighed, she knew what Moshi was feeling,
having lost both her parents herself. They all sighed in unison as Moshi
walked up the front steps. She wondered why they were all sighing.
"Ohaiyo, Minna. What's wrong, why are you all sighing?" Moshi
questioned as she put her bags in the corner. No one wanted to say
anything. It took Miko to say something.
"Usagi-sama told us about what happened," she squeaked, as Shi hit
her in her back.
Moshi blinked. "Oh, don't be sad on my account, it's all said and
done. Now what were we going to to today. The day is still young and I
have money!" she said, hoping to lift everyone's spirits.
Chibiusa said, "Ice cream."
"It's too early for Ice cream," Usagi said, causing everyone to gawk
at her.
"Usagi, not want Ice cream. Amongst us is Armegeddon!" Minako said,
feigning a look of total horror.
Artemis sighed. "That's Armegeddon is amongst us. Can she ever get a
quote right?"
Ami tapped at her computer for a second or so. "Actually, we could
really use some practice, seeing how this Imitar is constantly creating
sneak attacks."
"There goes the morning," Usagi said, starting to whine.
"And there goes the whining!" Rei said, sticking her tongue out at
Usagi. As usual the two became involved in a match, creating razzberries
at each other.
"Rei-sama, Usagi-sama..stop it!" Miko said, breaking into their
fight. "The earlier we practice, the earlier we can go on about our
day!"
Moshi nodded. "I agree..Earth Star Power...Make up!"
Makoto pulled out her henshin pen. "Jupiter Star Power...Make
up!"
"Venus Star Power...Make up!" The light of love surrounded Minako,
turning her into Sailor Venus.
Ami twirled her henshin pen as she yelled, "Mercury Star Power...Make
up!"
Rei growled at Usagi as she said, "Mars Star Power...Make up!"
"Come on Miko, lets henshin. Paradise Power..Make up!" Shi said, as
the emotional powers of Paradise turned her into Sailor Paradise. Miko
was quick to follow.
"Neo Earth Transform!"
"Moon Prism Power..Make up!"
The only one untransformed was Usagi, who folded her arms.
"Usagi, henshin-yo..now!" Luna ordered.
"Iie, I won't not until Mars apologizes!" she turned her nose up in
Rei's direction, this only flamed Mars' anger even more.
"You funny haired twit. No way am I apologizing!" she fumed, her
face becoming as red as her fuku.
"Besides," Usagi continued. "I can't find my Cosmic heart compact,"
she blushed.
"Somebody move, I'm about to choke her!" Mars said, pushing Shi out
of the way.
Sailor Earth shoved something in Usagi's hand. Usagi looked down, it
was her Cosmic heart compact! "Where did you find this?" she asked,
ignoring the stalking figure coming closer.
"In your jacket pocket. Honestly Usagi, you're suppose to wear it!"
she said, noticing Mars getting closer and closer. Her hands reaching out
like a pair of claws.
"Moon Cosmic Power...Make up!!!" Usagi said, quickly becoming Sailor
Moon
* * * *
Fifteen minutes later, once every senshi was accounted for. The nine
senshi, headed outside to begin training. Some worked on their hand to
hand combat skills, while others practiced their powers. Sailor Mars and
Earth circled each other, practicing combat.
"Now the idea is to fake the other person out," Mars instructed,
faking a move to the right, causing Earth to turn that way.
"Got it," she responded, closely watching Mars' hands and feet.
"Attack me," Mars said, making Earth blink. She shrugged and leaped
at Mars. Sailor Mars dodged the flying Sailor Earth and landed a kick in
her stomach. Sailor Earth groaned as she rolled over, trying to evade the
flying punches.
She jumped to her feet and rushed Sailor Mars again, this time Mars
wasn't expecting her to rush. In a tangle of arms and legs, the two
scrapped on the ground, pulling each other's hair and screaming at each
other. Sailor Earth landed one punch in Mars' face, causing the onlookers
to wince in empathy.
Sailor Earth scrambled to her feet, slowly backing away. "Hey don't
get mad, you kicked me in my stomach!" she said, looking behind her to
make sure she don't trip.
"Man, I never seen Rei get cold cocked like that before!" Jupiter
whispered to Paradise, who looked on in silence.
"Fire...Soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mars released her attack, Sailor Earth
screamed and dashed out of the way. She looked down and noticed..her
boots were scorched!
"You pyro freak!" Earth yelled, trying to assess the damage done to
her fuku. "Life..Force!" She returned a attack of her own, it caught Mars
off guard and slammed her into the ground. Everyone could sense, the
battle was becoming for real.
Sailor Mars pulled out an ofuda. She ran towards Sailor Earth.
Sailor Earth snorted and said, "What are you going to do, give me a paper
cut?"
"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!!!!!"
she screamed as the ofuda slapped onto Earth's tiara.
"KUSO!" Sailor Earth cursed as she became paralyzed. She couldn't
say anything and her body couldn't move. She tried to scream as she lost
her transformation, back in her overalls and tshirt, she crumpled to the
ground and slowly blacked out.
Sailor Jupiter gasped and turned to Mars. "Why in the world did you
do that!?" she said, glancing at Moshi who laid on the ground stiff as a
board. "She even lost her transformation!"
Get her inside now!" Artemis ordered. They all ushered her stiff
body inside and laid her down. Rei removed the ofuda and Moshi's body
suddenly went limp.
"Oh boy, talk about putting the cat in the bag!" Minako said.
"Artemis, Luna, do you think the ofuda will affect her badly?"
Artemis groaned. "That's letting the cat out of the bag, and no I
don't think it should affect her too bad, sorta like the way it affected
Usagi." Usagi shivered, remembering when Rei hit her with an ofuda.
* * * *
The dreams. The dreams were blood soaked and death filled. She ran.
Trying to escape that face, that face with the grey eyes and white hair.
This couldn't be her, no it wasn't. That part was dead, long ago dead.
She was Moshi, not Mosite. It was Rei-chan's fault, her and her damn
ofudas. She continued to run, running as if her life depended on it, hell
it did depend on it. She ran down a dark hallway that was filled with
doors, doors that all led to death. At the end of the hall way were
three figures. One was Moshi as she was Sailor Earth. Another was Moshi
when she was Mosite. The last was one Moshi didn't know. She was tall,
with dark hair down to her waist, and a pair of brilliant violet eyes.
She was dressed in a knight's armor, her side was adorned with a sword. A
female knight? Moshi wondered, how could that be?
The white haired figure stepped forward. "I know what you're
wondering, who are we?"
Moshi only dumbly nodded, looking at all three.
The white haired woman continued. "I am Mosite, I was you over a
thousand years ago. I was the one who defected to the side of the Moon
Kingdom, for that I paid with my life. If it wasn't for Gaia, Mother of
the Earth we couldn't have survived."
Sailor Earth stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I
am you now, the present. The Sailor Earth we've become thanks to the help
of Gaia and the other Senshi," she finished and turned to the tall woman
with the sword.
"Moshi, I am you in the future, granted that Imitar don't succeed in
killing you now. I am the Utopian Knight. Sailor Utopia. Guardian of
the freedom of all inhabitants of the Earth. As the Utopian Knight I
follow in our brother's shoes as the guardian. I guard life, freedom and
happiness, along with my two daughters. Moshi and Miko."
Moshi gasped, Utopian Knight. She was going to be a Knight in the
future!? All at once the memories that she loss came back at her in a
rush. Images of lives being created and lives being destroyed in the time
she lived, was too much for her to handle......
* * * *
"I think she's waking up!" Usagi said, kneeling next to Moshi.
Rei hurried over, glancing down. "I hope she's ok!"
Moshi tossed and turned muttering "Utopian Knight..Sailor
Earth..Mosite." At the mention of the last name, she sat up abruptly,
causing Usagi to fly backwards into Rei. They both jumped up and went
back to Moshi's side.
At the same time when Shi heard about the Utopian Knight, she
flinched. Miko's eyes opened into large circles and they mouthed at each
other the words, 'Utopian Knight'. The two silently vanished from
everyone else, hoping they wouldn't stop them and ask them about that.
"Mo-chan, Mo-chan, say something are you ok!?" Usagi asked, gently
shaking her.
Moshi looked blankly at Usagi. "Mo-chan? Why are you calling me
Mo-chan?"
Rei gasped, "She lost her memory!?"
"Memory, bah I haven't lost it. I'm not Moshi!" she spat, as if it
tasted horrible to say that.
Minako gawked and stared a bit closer. "Um, if you're not Moshi.
Then who are you?"
Moshi sighed audibly in distaste. "I am Hino Rei, a Shinto priestess.
I live with my grandfather and I go to T*A Private Girls school! Now move
and let me up!"
A big sweat broke out on everyone in the room. "It seems that she
think she is Rei-chan?" Ami said, clicking again at her computer.
"Think? I am Rei," she said going over to the mirror. "Why do I have
these stupid odangos on my head!" She undid the odangos, letting her hair
flow over her shoulders. "There that's better." She glanced down at her
shirt, noticing the henshin star attached to it. She removed the star and
tossed it at Rei. "Mo-chan here's your star, I can't believe you left it
here. You're becoming like Usagi!"
Rei sputtered, becoming enraged. The nerve of some people. "Look, I
don't know what kind of game you're playing. It's not funny!"
Moshi merely turned her nose up at her. "Whatever Moshi."
"Oh boy, we are in some serious trouble," Makoto said to Luna, who
nodded in agreement.
