Sailor Moon Mamories - Meet Kousagi

Chapter 12

„Today is stalking day!"

Kousagi clapped her hands together in pure excitement. She stretched herself excessively and rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas afterwards while she was sitting in her bed.

,If the mountain won't come to the prophet, the prophet must go to the mountain.'

By repeating this mantra in her mind, she got up and prepared herself for school. Since Mamoru was still busy with work and she had found out a lot about the leisure time of the sailor scouts (thanks to the eavesdropping uncle Motoki) the dark pink pigtailed teenager was curious how school life were in these days.

When she stood in the bathroom, freshly showered and covered with a towel, she pondered loudly

„Quite comfortable that they are my age so I can visit their class. I just have to find out how? First of all, I need a school uniform to look like an ordinary school girl . Secondly, I need a wig and maybe some glasses. Otherwise Amy and Mum will recognize me. Damn it! Why didn't I transform into a male version of a paramedic. Would be rather easier now."

She clapped herself mentally for not being that smart at the time but collected herself instantly and picked up her white magic ball from the bathroom cabinets. She concentrated highly, threw it up and cried out the familiar words. Within a couple of seconds the dark pink bun heads were gone and a fourteen year old school girl stood in Mamoru's bathroom.

She was dressed in the Juban middle school uniform, her long raven black hair tied together partly with a big red ribbon and her green eyes were covered with large glasses. Moreover she seemed to have grown in size, at least more than fifteen centimeters and her ears were draped with pink rose earrings. Kousagi crossed her arms and pouted when she took a look at the mirror.

„Great, just great! What shall I be called then, please? Makorayminamy or what?! Urrrrg I hate when Artemis T mixes up my requirements." She stumped her feet on the ground and still highly annoyed she left the apartments a few moments later.

‚Lucky me, Mamoru went to work this early, otherwise he would have laughed himself silly because of my new outer appearance!'

Kousagi was grimly when she walked to school but couldn't stay further in this bad mood since someone had suddenly bumped into her so she lost control over her balance and with a loud shriek she fell backwards to the ground.

The impact was caught mainly by her butt which fortunately had been transformed into a bigger size thanks to Artemis T so Kousagi wasn't hurt badly. This circumstance didn't let here complain less about the causer of her fall. When she opened her eyes and wanted to fire ahead, she found the familiar blonde pigtailed teenager who was also sitting on the ground, rubbing her painful backside. Without even considering that someone else might have collided with her than a certain prince of Earth, Usagi started shouting

„Ooouuuch, that hurts! Why are you always coming from the middle of nowhere when I am running late for school, Ma-" Her tirade died once she met eyes with a perplexed and disguised Kousagi. With a curious expression she questioned the transformed teenager

„What? Who...who are you?!"

„I? Oh well...I...I'm Makorayminamy I guess, hehehe...err nice to meet you." Kousagi stood up and reached out her hand happily to a dumbfounded Usagi. Hesitantly and still bewildered she took her hand and rose herself up from the ground.

„What an unusual name you have. I can't even pronounce it properly." She mumbled rather to herself.

Kousagi lamely tried to untangle the upcoming awkwardness and blurred out „Ahhh you see this is not such an uncommon name where I come from. I am fairly new to this country, actually I have just been transferred and thus I am something like an exchange student I suppose." She mentally patted on her shoulders for such a brilliant idea coming into her mind at this moment.

Usagi seemed to buy it when she smiled back at her sincerely until she became aware of the school bells which were ringing reproachfully into both girls ears. She grabbed Kousagi's arm and pulled her after her while she was screaming

„Ahhhh, we are running late for school, come on, hurry up!"

Koussagi didn't know that her mother was capable to challenge a hurricane when it came down to run to school as fast as possible. She could hardly keep up with her pace and concluded, that all the food Usagi inhaled was supposed to be converted into running energy. She was deeply impressed when they reached the school gate almost with the last chime.

The blonde Odango lead her through the corridors until she stopped in front of an open door. They stepped in and suddenly were confronted with at least 20 pairs of eyes watching both curiously while they were staying at the entrance. Kousagi turned her gaze to the other side of the room and spotted a ginger haired women in her mid thirties, standing next to the blackboard behind a desk. She frowned back at Kousagi but suddenly her glance lightened up and she greeted the teenager with an exuberant friendly smile

„Ahhh you must be the new transfer student from abroad! So great to have you here!" By waving cheerfully, she signaled Kousagi to come to her desk. Once she reached the intended position, the teacher introduced her to the pupils

„Everyone, I'd like you to meet your new classmate...err...what was your name again?"

"Uhhh ahhh well, I do have a very long and complicated name so I've decided to shorten it up a bit. Just call me 'Mina' please."

Miss Haruna raised her right eyebrow in complete astonishment but maintained her concreted smile

"Fair enough, Mina! Since you've just arrived, it would be a nice gesture of you if you could tell us something about yourself. Why don't you start with where you come from?"

'Holy crap, this is not good, this is certainly not good. Think Kousagi, think of anything plausible, just tell them something they can work with! Oh my God everyone is watching me, why did I decide to stalk the Senshi in school, this was such a stupid idea! Particularly with that awful name and this funny costume, why didn't I chose the invisibility cloak instead?'

Kousagi was sweating and with startled eyes she realized that there were several teenagers in this class for whom she was not so new in her original appearance; Makoto and Amy, for example, Usagi's best friend Naru and her boyfriend Umino. She hadn't met her in person yet, but her mother kept telling a lot about her best friends in this life, so that she almost felt like she was a friend of theirs too.

Unfortunately, the ginger haired witch Natsumi and her menacing brother Seijuro also acted as an audience for Kousagi's upcoming embarrassment. Having Usagi in the classroom didn't make the situation any easier, but somehow she sent her strength when she genuinely smiled at her, making Kousagi feel encouraged to tell the truth with a few tiny amendments.

"Sooo ... right, I actually come from very far away. It is a kind of kingdom with a queen and a king. They have a beautiful palace and everything is added there more or less with the prefixes 'neo' and 'crystal'."

Kousagi shrugged slightly, trying to distract from the place and time she came from.

„Here in Tokyo, I live with my father in a two bedroom apartment. He has had amnesia for almost three months and I am currently pretty busy trying to get his memory back somehow. I have a white cat as a pet, I like to play Sailor V in the Game Crown Center and read a lot of Sailor Moon fan fiction. I generally want to meet new friends. My favorite dish is fried shrimp tails and I can waffle incredibly well and sometimes I confuse people a lot with what I tell them."

When she had finished her introduction, she found 21 pairs of eyes, which watched her curiously but benevolently. Kousagi sighed deeply and wished the school bell would ring as soon as possible so that she could get something to eat. She was almost starving and when she looked Usagi in the eye she was sure that she was not alone with her immense hunger.
