Foreordained Destiny 9

Chapter 6 Warriors of the Sky and Sea; Uranus and Neptune



The sun was shining, but Kamui wasn’t ready to wake up. He pulled the covers over his head. His sister had been Skype calling all night with her long distance girlfriend and Subaru had given him a speech when they gotten home. As if fighting youma wasn’t enough.

Kamui had just fallen back to sleep when he felt something jump on his bed. “Going to sleep all day sleepy head?”

“Gedoff Fuuma.”

“But you promised we’d walk to school together.”

“I said that when I wasn’t tired.”

“MEAN! YOU GOTTA COME WITH ME!”

“First years, you’re ridiculous.”

“What’s he doing in here?” Kamui had met Fuuma’s older brother once or twice. He was creepy and as far as Kamui was concerned, had no right being in here.

“Oh you don’t know…”

“What don’t I know?”

“Ohayo Subaru.”

“Ohayo Seishirou.”

No honorifics? How close were his half-brother and Fuuma’s brother? Granted, Fuuma didn’t use honorifics either, but that didn’t matter; they were best friends.

What happened next made Kamui wish he was still asleep. The pair of them locked lips in the hallway. Fuuma got up to close Kamui’s bedroom door. “They’re always touchy feely never mind when they’ve been away from each other for a year.”

~#~

When Fuuma finally got Kamui up and out of bed, they were met with an empty house. “They all probably left already, we gotta run!”

As it turns out Subaru wasn’t in study hall, not until the end anyways. “I’m sorry I’m late sensei…”

“That is quite alright Sumeragi-kun, and welcome back from England. We have five minutes left if you want to share.”

In gym, Fuuma found their new gym teacher to be talented but very strict. The third years were mixing with the first years and Fuuma didn’t see hide or tail of his brother. “Monou! You’re the younger brother of Seishirou Sakurazuka, aren’t you?”

“Yes Kurogane-san.”

“Any idea where he is?”

“No idea, we didn’t show up to school together…” Fuuma was just as tall as the gym teacher but it didn’t help much.

“Hyuu~ Kuro-wanwan, you’re scaring the first years.”

“That’s not the point you damn idiot! And don’t you have a class to teach!?”

“Break time!”

“Are you looking for me?” Standing in the doorway was Fuuma’s brother, not in his gym uniform but in his normal school uniform with his blazer draped on one shoulder and his tie around his neck. When his brother’s eyes locked onto their new gym and chemistry teachers, there seemed to be a spark.

“Monou-kun go get changed up, we need a word with your brother.”

After Fuuma scooted away, the three stood in the room and it was Seishirou that spoke first. “What are you two doing here? I thought you were checking leads in America?”

“We were summoned here. More like what are you doing here when you were supposed to come with us?”

“I believe I made that information clear as to why I refused to go.”

“We’re going to have to get Pluto-chan as well.”

“Good luck, she’s back at the door tonight.”

“We have ways of getting in touch with her.”

“Kuro-sama, Fuuma’s back.”

“If you’re late again Sakurazuka, it’s detention.”

“Yeah yeah I have better classes to attend to.”

“He’s such an impudent little—”

“Now now Kuro-sama, we don’t want to anger him. He’s stronger than us, remember?”

“Don’t remind me.”

“I’m going to try to contact Kotori-chan with the mirror, try to be easy on the kids please?”

“Just be ready to fight if needed; don’t wander off like you have a tendency to.”

“Of course not. I wonder why Soel and Larg haven’t mentioned anything about Saturn yet.”

“Maybe they don’t know he’s awake.”

“Not possible.”

“Saturn has mysterious powers Kuro-sama.”

Kamui was sitting on the school steps with Fuuma after school. “I am so bored and I don’t want to go home and do my homework.”

“I just want to sleep I’m so tired.”

“You’re always tired lately Kamui, you’re not a part time super hero, are you?”

“Whatever gave you that idea Fuuma?”

“Eh? Nothing, just messing with you. Come on, let’s go the skate park.”

“Kamui we have to go, Grandmother wants us home to help her with things.”

“I’ll see you later Fuuma.”

Leaving Fuuma behind when they started to walk off, Kamui instantly noticed they weren’t heading for home. “Not again.”

“It’s the job of the Sailor Senshi Kamui, so let’s go, the others need us.”

“How am I supposed to have a normal life?”

“You don’t.”

“Says the one that has a boyfriend.”

“Seems like you do too.”

“FUUMA IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!”

“No time to argue, come on, this is a good enough spot. Venus Star Power!”

“This again? Moon Cosmic Power.”

Upon their arrival at the battle field they saw that Hokuto, Arashi, and Sorata were having a difficult time with the youma. “They're getting stronger...”

“Hey you! Ugly thing! Moon Crescent Boomerang!”

“Venus Love me Chain!”

“Two more for the energy sacrifice since they won’t tell us where the Rainbow Crystal is.”

“We don’t know!”

“You kids are in way over you heads, aren’t you?”

“Kurogane-san?”

“Hyuu~ we should teach them, eh Kuro-sama?”

“Fai-san?”

“That works for me, let’s teach them how to do this, outer style.” The navy blue symbol of Uranus lit up under the gym teacher’s feet. “Powers of the planet of the heavens; release!” A navy blue rod dropped into the outstretched hand. “Uranus Planet Power!”

"Protected by the planet of the heavens, Solider of the sky; Sailor Uranus! You're about to face death by my space sword."

Kamui just stared. Now his gym teacher was a part of this?

“World Shaking!”

“Hyuu~! Looking good Kuro-sama!”

“You idiot, get out here and help me!”

“Right right!” The turquoise symbol of Neptune glowed under the chemistry teacher’s feet. “Powers of the planet of the sea; release!” The turquoise green rod landed in the pale hand. “You owe me later, kay kay? Neptune Planet Power!”

"Protected by the planet of the deep sea; Solider of embrace; Sailor Neptune. No one can escape my mirror so prepare yourself!"

“Deep Submerge!” After the second blow, the youma disintegrated.

Subaru turned. “Wait, I thought you two were looking for Sailor Earth?”

“We got word that he’s here, it’s no coincidence that all of you are in our classes, you know?”

“That and Soel and Larg said for us to come, that the youma were getting stronger.”

“Let’s get back to headquarters so we can do some drills!”

“Oh no...”

“Yes, because if Venus is getting whooped, you kids need it. He has a year over you.” They all started to walk back to the arcade except for Fai who hung back, talking into a mirror. “The time has come, the enemy is growing stronger.”

“Roger that, bring them to the park tomorrow, it will all make sense.”

As they walked, Kamui passed a young girl. She had to be about middle school age. She was wearing a CLAMP school uniform and was heading that way. “Odd, never seen her before....”

~#~

The girl walked into the headmaster's office. “Good afternoon Sensei, I know it's late but I would like to announce I've returned from the abroad program.”

“I see young lady. Name and year?”

“Third year middle school student, Kotori Monou.”
