Mizuno Ami’s Journal

Things are very strange, especially because of Kuroki Mio…
When we got to school after the battle the other day we found that the class was upset with Usagi, to put it mildly. We had believed perhaps Minako Venus had been wrong on her impressions of Kuroki-san being someone to watch, after she was kind to Usagi and seemed understanding, but then when Osaka-san and I got to class we found she was telling the class in such a way they believed Usagi had deliberately hurt Kuroki-san, it was awful!
I keep remembering how I could swear she kicked Usagi the other day while everyone was playing volleyball…then I think maybe I’m wrong, but there’s certain times where she just…there’s just…I can’t put it into words.
At least Osaka-san also believes Usagi’s character is genuine, without knowing the full extent of the situation, otherwise I don’t think Usagi could bear it.
The main other focus has been the fact that Mako-chan hasn’t awakened to her senshi powers yet. I’m not sure if there’s anything the rest of us can do to help her…I wish there was.

We have a new student Kuroki Mio-san who is an idol, like Aino Minako, only she has just appeared and is already ’super-popular’. Usagi-chan doesn’t seem to be taking too well to this…she feels bound by a loyalty to Aino Minako to not like her so much, and the others in the class are all very excited and paying her a lot of attention.
She does seem okay; but I worry, of course, especailly Usagi-chan was hit by her serves, several times while the class was playing volleyball, even once in the nose.
*chews thumb* Kuroki-san was apologetic about it, and Usagi-chan stubbornly refuses to back down. But then I could swear she hit Usagi-chan on purpose…maybe I’m seeing monsters were there aren’t any.

Training, though, training, even after the extra sessions, didn’t go quite so well, in itself; but then Artemis-san, Sailor Venus’s cat came into the room. He explained to us Sailor Venus is worried about Kuroki Mio, but then there was a youma…so of course discussion had to be put on hold. *ahem*

In a sense it was useful, I’ve been able to practice using the tambourine’s some more. They’re an interesting device. In a sense they work like an amplifier, enabling us to use an attack without having to call and focus so much. We had a difficult time of it, the youma was able to absorb most of the attacks that we sent out towards it, and when we were trying to use the attack we had used the other day, a combination attack…it disarmed me.
While I was willing the youma to be able to not get the tambourine, energy flowed through me and caught the tambourine (not the youma) and enabled Luna to retrieve it for me. I was a little dumbstruck. Luna used an odd attack against the youma, which distracted it enough that we were able to use the attack, and defeat it.

Usagi had apparently been talking to Kuroki-san before the youma attacked, hopefully they were airing out their differences, and can see peace enough that there aren’t any strange things like there were today.
Kuroki-san seemed to be okay with Usagi-chan, she had been cut somehow, perhaps youma attack, and Usagi-chan bound her arm, and she said she was fine.

We can report that back to Artemis now, and it should be a relief for Venus-san.

Yesterday was not so good.
After Mako-chan and Usagi-chan had gone to the hospital Rei-chan and I had a long discussion with Luna about things. We found some information about a convergence of the planets with ‘V’ in attendence and decided to check it out.
We discovered very quickly it was actually a trap, and called Usagi-chan and Mako-chan; then I remember waking up and I was already transformed and so was Mars.
I vaguely remember seeing a white haired man, dressed all in white. He had the creepiest eyes. I know we tried to fight him…it’s all very hazy, and it makes me so worried about our future encounters…the shittenou are so powerful, and we’re so uncoordinated…

Today was…interesting though.
When we were meeting Usagi-chan realized she had forgotten the notebook that Aino Minako signed for her, and left it at the hospital, so she went running back to get it.
Later on Rei-chan and I were walking the part of our home journey that we share, when we saw a youma. We called Usagi-chan, given Mako-chan had a doctor’s appointment, and by the time she caught up with us it had gone dark.
We weren’t doing very well as the shittenou from the mansion, who had been after the crystal there, showed up. We were bound and he took Sailor Moon by the throat and was demanding we turn over the princess and the crystal, when someone yelled at him.
Sailor V had shown up. She cut us free, and told us that she was the princess he was looking for. Her fuku changed, and she had a white cat, like Luna with her, the cat said she was the princess. We defeated the youma, and then the white haired shittenou from yesterday showed up, and tried to attack her. Tuxedo Kamen stepped in front to save her, but V-Venus, she’s very strong–didn’t even have to call her attack just used it and defeated the shittenou, as he disappeared he called Tuxedo Kamen ‘Master…Endymion’.

The red-haired one left…I’m so confused.

Venus–Moon–Princesses.
