MAMORU
CHIBA :-
*The
Present*
One day,
a 14 year old girl named Usagi Tsukino received her exam results. It was
bad, and she decided not to show it to her mother. So, she threw away that
piece of paper....
...
And it landed on an annoyed gentleman's head!
"Hey,
odango atama! You with the growth on the head! You want my head to be like
yours??!!"
Well,
it definitely created a spark with Usagi! She was furious!
"Weird
guy wearing a tuxedo in broad daylight! Oohh, I HATE him!" Usagi thought.
But
that "weird man" wearing a tuxedo had something else on his mind...
"Hmm... Maybe I'll get to find the Illusion Silver
Crystal here!" he thought, peering through his stylish shades, observing
a jewellery store.
Next,
Usagi meets a cat called Luna who transforms her into Sailormoon, the fighter
of love and justice. For her first assignment, she had to stop the a youma
who pretended to be Usagi friend (Naru)'s mother. Naru's mother is
the owner of the jewellery outlet mentioned earlier.
On
that same night, another party was involved... It was a masked man wearing
a tuxedo and a black hat, stealthily entering the jewellery store. Hidden
in the shadows, he witnessed Sailormoon's first appearance, and well, for
a first timer, it was not bad at all! She
was so upset that the youma hurt her, that she started to cry at supersonic
volume! But then, she heard a male voice...
"Don't
cry, Sailormoon! This is your chance to destroy the youma!..."
After
that mysterious encouragement, Luna ,too, urged Sailormoon to use her moon
frisbee to destroy the youma. Sailormoon succeeded, and heard the voice
again...
"Although
I didn't get the Illusion Silver Crystal,but I did get to watch an interesting
performance..."
and
saw a caped figure leaping in the air...
"My
name is Tuxedo Mask! I'll remember you, Sailormoon!"
That
was the first time Sailormoon met Tuxedo Mask... She instantly had a huge
crush on him! ^_^
So,
who was that mysterious man?...
After
that fateful event, Usagi and Luna had to continue searching for the other
destined senshis. One day, Usagi was given a tuition advertisement,
but upon looking at it, she lost interest and threw it away...
Well,
it's definitely the work of fate!
The
paper landed on the man-wearing-a-tuxedo's head ....AGAIN!
"Heyy....
odango atama!!!! I am NOT a rubbish bin!!"
Usagi
turned around at that voice and was surprised to meet that man again!
This time, he took off his sunglasses and revealed his stunningly handsome
face.. *dreamy sigh* He overheard Luna talking to Usagi, and asked about
that cat. Usagi hurriedly denied it and quickly walked away....
But somehow,
no matter how much Usagi thought she hated that man, she blushed, and that
handsome man looked on wistfully, as if he had a vague sense of deja vu...
(or did he fall in love already?!! Sorry, I got carried away! ^_^)
But
neither one of them thought that they would meet not just twice, but many
more times, in the future! ....
After discovering Ami Mizuno as
Sailor Mercury, strange abductions started occurring. Passengers riding
a bus at 6 o'clock would always disappear near The Hikawa Temple. Luna
and Usagi suspected that it was the Dark Kingdom at work again, so they
boarded the bus, but at 5 o'clock. They were heatedly discussing strategies,
when suddenly, Usagi heard a familiar voice...
"Yes,
Luna, keep talking!"the guy said.
Usagi
couldn't believe her eyes!
"Ah!
It's YOU again!" Usagi managed to stammer, recognizing the student. He
was the man-wearing-a-tuxedo she met previously!"Don't scream, odango atama!
We meet again!" he replied as he pushed down his glasses."Why.. Why are
you here?!" Usagi asked."Why? I'm going to school!""WHAT?!!!! It can't
be... You're a student?!!!" Usagi was shocked out of her wits!
"I'm
Mamoru Chiba, high school second year student!"
Handsome
Mamoru then took off his spectacles and Usagi found herself staring....
....Into
his eyes.
She
realized Mamoru really looked like Tuxedo Mask!
Mamoru
also found himself staring at Usagi....
Realizing
that she looked like Sailormoon, he quietly whispered, "Fighter of justice..."
Usagi really freaked out!
Later,
Rei Hino, the priestess of Hikawa Temple, was abducted by Jedite, a general
of the Dark Kingdom, using the bus. Usagi transformed into a stewardess,
and boarded the bus with Sailor Mercury, but before Tuxedo Mask, and Luna
could accompany her. Anyway, it was found that Rei was Sailor Mars and
she succeeded in destroying Jedite. Together, they saved all the other
abducted passengers. Tuxedo Mask was wondering, "Who is Sailormoon?"
*THE MASQUERADE*
The romance
between Usagi and her hero began to blossom when she went to a royal banquet/
masquerade hosted by Princess D. She was supposed to investigate the crystal
Princess D was about to show. To get into that palace, Usagi transformed
herself into a beautiful princess. Coincidentally, Tuxedo Mask was there
too, as he thought that crystal might be the Illusion Silver Crystal.
After
some time, Usagi felt lonely for she had noone to dance with. But suddenly,
she heard a gentle voice,
"May
I dance with you?"
..And
she was swept off to the dance floor by Tuxedo Mask!
Unfortunately,
their time together was interrupted by the Dark Kingdom. Princess D was
possessed and ran off with the exhibited crystal. Princess D was running
like a wild boar, and she was heading to the edge of a balcony! Seeing
the danger, Usagi lunged towards the princess, but in the process, was
knocked off the balcony! Usagi screamed for her life, but suddenly, a strong
hand grabbed hold of hers, saving her! It was Tuxedo Mask, desperately
grasping Usagi! Time was running out, and finally, he too was knocked off
by the deranged princess! Usagi and Tuxedo Mask started falling to their
death!!!
This
time, Usagi used her pen and turned it into a cute umbrella!
They
landed safely on the ground..
"This
time, YOU saved my life! Thank you." Tuxedo Mask said.
"No,
it's you who saved me again..." Usagi thought to herself as she saw her
hero running away.
After
that cliff-hanger (^_^!), Usagi and her friends transformed into the senshis
and destroyed the youma which possessed the princess. Sailormoon felt tired
and thirsty after that, so she absent-mindedly took a few glasses of punch.
Before long, Sailormoon felt drowsy, and fell into the arms of Tuxedo Mask!
Tuxedo
Mask carried the sleeping Sailormoon to a secluded balcony. Looking at
her, he was slowly drawn to her lips......
And
kissed the sleeping maiden....
"This
feeling... It's as if that I've done this a long time ago... Her lips are
so soft, so tender... I feel as though we've done this many times before...."
he thought while kissing.
"Get
your hands off her!" Luna said, discovering to her horror of what Tuxedo
Mask was doing. Luna confronted him, demanding his reasons for always appearing
when Sailormoon and friends appeared. "Are you our friend... Or our enemy?"
"Since
we're searching for the same thing,... We could be enemies."
