Chapter 2: Be a Proper Dark Senshi?  Kaori’s Jealousy!
	“So now what do we do now that we’ve gotten our Senshi powers?  
Practice them on helpless animals and small children?” Kaori asked, 
half-joking.  “No!  Get dressed in your best clothes, because we’re 
going to the ball at the palace tonight, remember?” Minako reminded her 
daughters.  Kaori seemed to be thinking about something, and in fact, 
she was.  After a waiting period for Minako and Chibi, she finally 
asked “What other Senshi are there?  Is there a Sailor Death, or someone 
with similar dark powers?”  Minako, who had been responsible for once, 
pulled out the list the Queen had given her during their meeting earlier 
of all the new Senshi and who they were.  “Well, it says here that a 
Natsumi Tomoe-san, Hotaru-chan’s younger daughter, is Sailor Death, and 
I guess that Sailor Chibi Saturn, who is Shizuko Tomoe-san, could also 
be considered to have dark powers, if her’s are anything like her 
mother’s.  That’s all I know, though, as I haven’t kept in touch with 
Hotaru-chan much in Crystal Tokyo here.  All I know is their names, 
which Senshi they are, and that Shizuko-san is 15 years old and
Natsumi-san is only 13.  I don’t know what their personalities are like 
or even what they look like.  I’m surprised you haven’t seen Shizuko-san 
in class, though, don’t you go to the same school?” Minako asked, 
surprised.   “I don’t pay attention to what my classmates names are; 
they’re all overly ditzy to me.  I do like Princess Himeko-sama, though, 
she’s good and serious,” Kaori said.  Minako smiled and patted Kaori’s 
curly blond head, to which the latter flinched away from.  “I’m sure 
you’ll find her and Hotaru-chan’s daughters at the ball.  Now go get 
dressed,” she said, nudging Kaori towards her bedroom.

	“Wow!  A ball!  Lots of new Senshi friends!” squealed Shizuko, 
grabbing Hotaru in her excitement.  “Yeah, and ones we can play with!” 
added Natsumi.  The two girls and their parents had arrived at the 
Crystal Palace Ball, eager to make friends with the new Senshi.  Kaori 
and Chibi were there too, of course, with Minako Aino and George Smith, 
their parents.  Kaori immediately went on a search for this mysterious 
Sailor Death and her sister, Sailor Chibi Saturn.  Suddenly, she saw her 
target.  The girl was about 4’ 6”, a foot taller than Kaori was 
herself.  She had her long black hair in pigtails that resembled the 
style of their Queen’s hair, and she was wearing a purple dress.  But 
the thing that clinched it was her eyes.  They were completely white, 
with no pupils or irises.  Perfectly, wonderfully spooky.  Kaori snuck 
up on the girl from behind, and said, in a mysterious voice, “I am your 
dark companion, Sailor Death.”  The girl whirled around and giggled, 
which shocked Kaori speechless.  “Hi!  I am Natsumi Tomoe!  I’m Sailor 
Death, which Senshi are you?” asked the girl.  Kaori still was still too 
shocked to speak.  “Can’t you talk?  You look surprised at something; 
don’t be afraid of this.  It’s just my transformation jewel.  Do you 
want to touch it?” asked Natsumi cheerfully, holding her black orb 
pendant out to Kaori, who was figuratively frozen.  Natsumi furrowed her 
brow, staring intently at the blond.  Then she got it.  “I know!  You’re 
playing some kind of game!  Can I play too?  How do I play?” she asked 
eagerly.  “Y-y-you...you...Sailor Death!  You are too happy!  You should 
be morbid!” Kaori finally shouted.  “Morbid?  Aw, that’s no fun,” said 
Natsumi.  “It’s not SUPPOSED to be fun!  You’re supposed to be serious 
and always being mysterious and talking about death!” Kaori screamed.  
She jumped up, tried to shake Natsumi’s shoulders, and then knocked her 
down.

	“So, are you the enemy that I heard we Senshi have to face?  I 
never found out who you are, anyway,” Natsumi asked, still using that 
obnoxiously cheerful voice of hers.  “I am Kaori Aino.  My Senshi form, 
sadly, is Sailor Chibi Venus.  Would you switch with me?”  Natsumi 
looked a bit suprised at Kaori’s request, but she agreed, and took the 
orange brooch in her hands.  “Now, I’ll show you what Sailor Death is 
supposed to be like!  Death...um...what’s the transformation phrase?” 
Kaori asked.  “Mine’s Death Celestial Power, Make Up.  What’s yours?” 
Natsumi replied.  “Mine is...I remember the words I heard in my mind 
when I put the brooch on.  They were Venus Prism Power, Make Up,” 
answered Kaori.  The two girls shouted the transformation words, but 
nothing happened.  Kaori looked up to see Minako smiling at her.  
“Sorry, Kaori-chan.  You can’t use someone else’s Senshi powers.  You’re 
stuck with being Chibi Venus, I’m afraid,” she told her daughter.  “Come 
on then, Natsumi-chan.  I’ll teach you how to be Sailor Death,” Kaori 
said in an evil voice, letting Natsumi follow her.  Minako watched them 
go into the crowd, then she turned to Chibi, who had been watching the 
scene with confusion.  “Chibi-chan.  Go make sure your sister doesn’t 
hurt that girl,” she said.  “Okay, Mama.  She can be dangerous,” Chibi 
agreed.

	“So how do I learn to be a real Sailor Death?” asked Natsumi.  She, 
Kaori, and Chibi were in a secluded garden in the palace, the dark night 
being a good place for the lesson.  “First, lose the cheerful act.  The 
only sort of smile you should do should be an evil one,” Kaori 
instructed.  Natsumi bared her teeth like a dog, looked at her 
reflection in a fountain, and fell over laughing.  Kaori shook her 
head.  “Do you have some sort of psychological problem that prevents you 
from being serious or something?” she asked.  “None that I know of.  Why 
do you want to teach me how to change my personality?  I like myself the 
way I am,” Natsumi said.  “Because!  People with dark powers are 
supposed to ACT dark!” Kaori shouted.  “But what about you?  You said 
that your powers are like Venus’s, right?  Well, according to your own 
logic, you should try to act like Minako-san, your mother,” Natsumi 
pointed out.  Kaori was about to yell back, but then she slumped over, 
sitting on the edge of the fountain.  Natsumi was right.  Her plan was 
defeated.  “You have just became my enemy, Natsumi-chan,” Kaori growled 
softly.  “I’m your...OOF!” Natsumi was cut off as Chibi knocked her 
down, protecting her from the strange girl who had just entered the 
garden area.  She had long orange hair and was wearing a golden 
bodysuit.  “Who are you!” Natsumi demanded.  “I am Tiffany!  And I will 
whip you for taking the power of the Senshi of MY dimension!” shouted 
the girl, and she swung her whip at Natsumi, who jumped aside.  “Death 
Celestial Power, Make Up!”  “Venus Prism Power, Make Up!”  “Aphrodite 
Eternal Power, Make Up!”  The three Senshi transformed, ready for battle.

	Tiffany shot a rope out, and quickly tied up Chibi Venus and Sailor 
Aphrodite.  Sailor Death, however, had jumped out of the way, and was in 
the fountain.  She then started goofing around, making faces at Tiffany, 
who started laughing.  As the villainess was distracted, Chibi Saturn 
came into the area as well.  “Let’s team up, Shizuko-oneechan!  Deadly 
Dark Beams!”  “Death Reborn Revolution!”  The energy beams and purple 
ribbons shot at Tiffany, and knocked her down.  Vanishing in golden 
sparkles, she shouted “I’ll be back later!”  “Oh well.  Let’s untie 
these two,” said Chibi Saturn, and she and Sailor Death untied the two 
Aino sisters.  Despite this, Kaori still was mad at Natsumi, for no 
other reason than for having powers that she wanted for herself.
