Title: Alternate Identities, Part I - Beginnings Author: Mina, Warrior Princess Rating: PG, for swearing.. not much violence YET.. Feedback: sailor_v@mail.com Disclaimer: I'm not Naoko Takeuchi, nor that guy that created Ronin Warriors. Author's Note: Hey again! Buenos Dias, minna!! Hope you liked the prologue. As you probably figured out already, I am using the original Japanese names for the Sailor Senshi, and the English dubbed names for the Ronin Warriors. Weird, neh? ^_~ Sorry, but I'm just starting to watch RW, and I don't know the Japanese names for them. Besides, I like Cye too much... with his ENGLISH name.... ^_^ I know his Japanese name is Shin, which means like trust or something, but oh well. I don't know anyone else's Jap. name, nor do I care. Have fun in this chapter, which is the first one that introduces my buddies from school and I! ^_^ P.s. Luv ya Usa-chan! ~ Later!! Luv, V-Babe ^_- (can't help it, just read Book 3 of the sm manga!) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ A l t e r n a t e * I d e n t i e s ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ p a r t 1 - b e g i n n i n g s "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY.... SHOCK!!!!!" I said. "Sailor Venus on Crack......." Ugh. People. Oh, hi! My name's Kate, otherwise known as Mina Warrior Princess, VenusLBS, or... "Sailor Venus on Craaaaaack...." "SHUT UP!!!" Anyway, I'm 15. I was born on October 22, Libra. (Just like Sailorvenus!*^-^*) My favorite colors are red and blue. I go to this lame school called Saratoga Springs High School. I am serious. It is SO lame. It's the most god-awful boring school out there. The one thing I WILL argue is that it has a good music program. Other than that.. Oh, and the PEOPLE. I'm not even going to get started with THEM. The guys are either assholes or nerds, the girls are either sluts or bitches. Well, there are a few exceptions. My friends. I think I'll introduce them now. Stepping up onto the platform first is the lovely and talented Jessy... my idol *hehe*..... who I've known since last year. Second on is the kind but impatient Mandi . . . who wants to STEAL MY MAN...!!!! ERRRRRRRRRGH!!! Oh, wait! That's right! I haven't even TOLD you about my man! Gotta finish my friends first. In the Junior High, there is the hyper and stylish Chris aka C.... she's been one of my best buds and my Cuz since a loooong time ago! And then back in the High School, there's Becca aka the Nicest Person on Earth as I used to call her, who's almost always friendly, talkative, and nice to even the meanest people. Her only flaw I see is her over sensitivity to certain things... you don't want to bring one of those things up, or prepare for the temper of the century! ! ! ^_^; Lastly, there's my step sister, Dani. She doesn't go to my school. She's the pretty, popular, sorta preppy, perfect one. Although I'm sure if she heard that description I gave her she would disagree. Anyway, at times she can be insane, like me, but mostly she's the perfect older sister role model type-person. She's strong willed, very stubborn, and never refuses to stick up for what she believes is right. Oh yeah, and she can also be the biggest bitch on Earth at certain times of the um... month. (like me... ^_-) Now I'll move on to the GUYS. Ah, yes. The guys. There's Darien, one of Mandi's psycho friends who's got serious issues. Along with Ducky, Mandi's other psycho friend. I don't even know his real name, he's just Ducky to me. But I do know that he's in love with Mandi. And then there's her psycho boyfriend, Shawn... (teehee) The other guys I know are.... well... They're....... Ummmmm....... GORGEOUS, WONDERFUL, ALL AROUND GREAT PEOPLE! ! ! ! ! Okay, I'll calm down.. I'm just a little guy-crazy ^-^; Anyway, my boyfriend is Bryan, who's been one of my best friends since we were practically in diapers, who was a cute little boy who grew up into a hot young teenager... *_* And then..... there's my man........ He will remain anonymous.... let's just call him Brian..... ^-^; (yes, ANOTHER one, this time without the Y... ^_^) OK, I guess he should be known as my 'soon-to-be' man. ^_^ I'll tell you about him *later*, but I've been in love with him for god knows, as long as I can remember. He pretty much doesn't know I exist. Well... I take that back... he DOES know I exist, he just could care less. One of my favorite past times is stalking him. (. . although I ALSO remain anonymous, supposedly . . ^_-) Oh, maybe I should mention that he has a girlfriend?? ... -_-; And she's a stuck up * senior * (waaaaahh!! ;^_^;) named Cerra. And then there's..... me. I am.... well, what can I say?? I'm..... umm..... * ME. * Nothing else really describes me, but that I'm me. I've got no personality, really... it's so messed up, you can't describe it. That's why some people call me Sailor Venus on Crack.. well, that and because I'm obsessed with this Japanese Animation called 'Sailor Moon' on which she is a character that I'm obsessed with. Me, I prefer to call myself 'Mina, Warrior Princess'. *^_^* I've got shoulder lengthed brownish hair, and brown eyes. I'm not that good looking if ya ask me, (actually, if you asked ME I would say I'm downright ugly, but that's because I've got low self-esteem..) but SOME *really weird* guys think so. (and I MEAN WEIRD!!!) Well I'm certainly not pretty like Mandi or Jessy or Dani anyway. Now that we've gotten the formal (right ^_-) introductions out of the way, we can go into the story. I was walking towards Biology, humming the tune to 'Ai no Megami no How to Love' (namely, one of Sailorvenus' theme songs) and calling out her attack phrases. Ahh..... the life of an anime-obsessed American teenager.... "Hey you! Wait up!" It was Jessy. She was on her way to Biology with me. "Are we going to walk reeeeeeeealy slow today and piss off Matt?" "Sure! Cool!" So as usual, we started to slow down our pace considerably, until we were walking right in front of Matt Brooks, blocking his way down the hall. "Errr... why do you people always walk so slow?!?" Matt is this really annoying freshman in our Biology class because he's been moved ahead by the system. I guess he's smart, but he doesn't act like it... God, did I mention that I hate freshmen? ^_- Just kidding, of course. After all, I was a freshman once too!! :) "Stupid sophmores!!!" "Don't get wet!" I said loudly, and Jessy and him laughed. That was one of his stupid jokes that he had said in the middle of Bio lab. Unless you were there, don't ask. (Oh, and all you perverts... it's NOT what you think... my my my. Ecchi, are we? ^_-) "Okay... can you move faster now???" "Nope!" We said, and smiled. When we actually *got* to our last period class, (^_^) we did this really boring thingy about Ecology or something, and then there was an announcement over the loud speaker... "Attention all students and faculty. Due to the severe snowstorm, the busses will be delayed one hour. Please stay in your 9th period class for waiting." "Ugh.... an hour?!?" I groaned, knowing that no one heard me, or cared. People never listen to anything I say, but I don't care anymore. "So. . . . Jessy. How's life?" "Great, I guess. Except that I'm stuck sitting in back of the biggest fruit on the planet." LOL. That would be my man.... ^_^ Jessy's the type that like to tease people just to be funny, not mean. They know that she doesn't mean it, though. And with my man, she just plain enjoys pissing him off. :) But he didn't say anything back. "I *SAID*, the biggest fruit on the planet...." Still nothing. "Is he deaf, or does he just not care??" I smiled. "I doubt he cares." One hour of *fun* (not O_O) later, there was one another announcement on the loud speaker.... "Attention all students and faculty. The busses have STILL not arrived. Please continue to wait in your 9th period class until further notice..." This sucked. BIG time. Wait a minute here. I'm trapped..... In my 9th period class..... With one of my best friends... And the guy I'm in love with. SUCKED?!?! As IF!! Who was *I* kidding? This was going to be so much fun!! *^_^* Two hours later, Mrs. Kennison was starting to freak. So was the rest of the class. The busses were 3 hours late. I wondered what my mother was thinking about this... Oh, wait, never mind. She would be at work anyway. I would have had to go home for the millionth time to my babysitter. That's right.... I'm 15, and I've got a babysitter. Is it just me, or shouldn't I *BE* babysitting at 15?!! And actually, the last person on Earth I wanted to see was my mother. . . Alright, do you really want to know why? Here's the jist. She hits me. That's right. But just enough so it doesn't show. She never lets me have any freedom. She regulates my friends. She monitors my activities. She calls me endless abusive names. She's vandalized my toys and clothes. She's poisoned me before. She once put like, three bottles of laxative and that stuff that makes you throw up into my glass of soda to make me sick. She's made me swallow soap. I've gotten sick from it, thrown up a lot, and she always makes me go to school. She uses me to get back at my father. She makes me sick to get herself attention, to get people to feel sorry for her... she's told people about all the 'terrible' things I've done, about what an 'awful child' I am... making things up to get sympathy. All in all, she just plain uses me and treats me like a piece of shit. And my lazy, wimpy, fat bastard of a father is too afraid to even try to do anything. They're divorced anyway. Have been since I was 4. I have some somewhat foggy memories of my childhood that early. I remember sitting in my room, crying, and listening to the sound of lamps and televisions being thrown back and forth in the room across the hallway. I remember going through Elementary School with not one friend, feeling worthless, hating life and everyone in it, being the 'problem child' that everyone was afraid of after I pushed this jerk kid's head into his desk for picking on me. They made me go to counseling, they said I had 'problems' that needed to be resolved.... they said that I was 'violent'.... ....When the only thing that I really wanted was to be loved by someone..... I went through Middle School being called 'selfish' and 'stuck up' because I was too shy and scared to talk to anyone, for fear of being rejected yet again.... Even though I had no friends, I managed to do well in school.... I was always the smartest one in the class.... it was my escape, my sort of revenge, I guess. Everyone thinks you're worthless, so show them what you can do. Up until this year that is. Now I'm getting crappy grades. But I don't care. I've got friends. Real.... friends. I love them all so much......... I wish I could treat them the way I feel, but I always end up taking my anger out on them. I wish I could show them how much I care about them..... Well now you all know a little more about me, and my story. Now BACK to the story... ^_^ So anyway, by the time 4 hours went by, we were called over the announcements to go into the Junior High auditorium for some sort of speech or whatever. I was happy because I was going to get to see my other friends (Mandi, Becca, etc...). When we went into the auditorium, Jessy went off to talk with Becca and bunch of her other friends.. (both her and Becca are pretty popular.) So, I decided to talk with Mandi who was with Ducky, Shawn, and Darien. "Hey Mandi!!!" "Hey Venus!!!" (as you can tell, a lot of people know about my obsession w/ Sailorvenus. ^_^) Suddenly, a blinding light flashed. I couldn't see anything but yellow, and I felt as if my body was spinning around and around, making me dizzy. And then it stopped. For some reason, I knew I wasn't in the auditorium anymore. But.... ....where exactly WAS I?!?!? * * * ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ e n d p a r t 1 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
