Hey, minna! Here's the first chapter of my story. I'll switch 
perspectives, so keep up. Even Luna and maybe a few other surprise 
people will have a few words(or thoughts) to share.  So, enjoy the 
fic-remember, I'll be using the Japenese names and some phrases. I'm 
not very good, so forgive me...

	Anyways...you know I do NOT own Sailor Moon. I so wish...oh, 
what i wouldn't do to have Mamoru Chiba by my side....(dreamy sigh)



Arigato, 

Senshi of Memories



Chapter One

What?



~MAMORU~

	Mamoru walked to briskly to Crossroads Junior High. 
Haruna-sensei had said that one of her students needed a tutor, and she 
didn't have the time to give her the attention she needed. "I 
wonder...could it be that little Odango Atama?" She had seemed pretty 
cute. He laughed to himself at what her reaction would be to having to 
be tutored by *him*. He remembered the sad look in her eyes yesterday 
when she threw that test paper at him. 

	He arrived at the school and went directly to Haruna-sensei's 
room. He saw a red haired woman there, and a girl with Odango's asleep 
at one of the desks. She woke up when Haruna-san slapped her ruler on 
the desk. "Usagi! Wake up!" She woke up *quickly*. "Gomen nasai, 
Haruna-sensei. I was tired." 

	The teacher just sighed. "Well, Usagi-chan, I have a tutor for 
you. His name is Chiba Mamoru. Pay attention to him. I have to go. I 
have a date tonight." She practically flew out the door, but stuck her 
head back in to talk to Mamoru. She said one last thing to him before 
she left.

	"Chiba-san, this is Tsukino Usagi. She needs help in...almost 
everything. Arigato for helping out. Ganbatte." She was gone then, and 
Mamoru turned his attention to the girl who looked at him.

	"Are you my tutor?" She asked. Mamoru nodded. "Hai. I'm to help 
you with whatever you need." He paused, and smiled at the girl like he 
never met her before. "It won't be so hard, I will help. We will be 
good friends, won't we?" 

	She smiled at him suddenly, the grin lighting up her whole 
face. "Iie."



	Luna faced the Senshi. All except Usagi, who was having a 
tutoring session. "Now I want you to be careful around Usagi. She 
doesn't remember being the Princess. In her mind, we are searching for 
her still, I guess. But she has the ginzishiou, and knows how to use 
it, so never fear about that."

	The Senshi nodded. "We will still protect her, Luna. She is 
still our friend, and our princess, even if she doesn't remember." 

	Ami looked at Luna curiously. "Why doesn't Usagi-chan remember? 
I mean, if she has the ginzioushou, shouldn't she know that she is the 
princess?"

	Luna shook her head. "Not really. As 'Sailor Moon' she thinks 
that it is possible for her to use all artifacts of the Moon Kingdom. 
What she doesn't know is that only the royal family of the moon can 
become Sailor Moon. Queen Serenity before her was Sailor Moon. 
Usagi-chan's memory will be awakened after a time, after she earns the 
right to fully become her previous self. There is still much training 
for her to go through. And there is another thing...I am afraid that 
when Usagi remembers her past, she will remember Endymion, too, and we 
have no idea where he is." 



~~Back at the School~~ 

	

	Mamoru leaned over Usagi to see how she was doing, and he 
smiled. "Very good, Usagi-chan! That is an improvement. I take it you 
are understanding it more now?" Usagi nodded happily.

	"Arigato, Chiba-san! I appreciate you helping me. I understand 
it so much better now!" Mamoru looked at her. 

	"Please, Usagi-chan, call me Mamoru. Chiba-san sounds so 
formal, and like I'm an old man!" She laughed, and grinned up at him, 
wrinkling her nose. 

	"Okay, Mamoru-san, I will do that from now on." She glanced 
down at her watch. "Oh, no! Rei-chan is going to be so angry! Arigato, 
again, Mamoru-san. I must be going." She shoved her books and papers 
into her bag and flew out the door.

	Mamoru leaned aganist the vacated desk and chuckled. He could 
learn to like this girl. 





~~Rei's Temple~~



	Rei drummed her fingers on the table. "I know that we held the 
most important part of the meeting without Usagi-chan here, but you 
would think she would at least try to be on time for once." 

	Minako looked up. "Don't harrass her, Rei-chan. She did have 
that tutoring session, and knowing Usagi-chan, she needs all the help 
she can get." 

	Ami rolled her eyes with the rest of the senshi. "You don't 
have any room to talk, Mina-chan. Your grades are not much better." 
Minako had the grace to blush. 

	"Luna, what was Usagi-chan like as Princess Serenity?" The 
senshi themselves did not remember all that much about the Moon 
Kingdom. The majority of their memories would be restored along with 
Usagi's. 

	Luna considered this for a moment. "Well, she was graceful and 
smart, the perfect lady. Her hair was long and silver, and her eyes the 
clearest blue. She had the biggest heart and the strongest powers, only 
to be matched by Prince Endymion." 

	Rei grinned. "So, the only thing that our Usagi-chan resembles 
of the princess is her eye color, and her ability to love 
unconditionally, and her power." 

	Luna nodded. "That is why we must not tell her, for if she is 
told of how she was, then she will ever feel that she has disapointed 
us. I do not want to put Usagi-chan through anything like that. She is 
too open for something like that to happen. It would destroy her."

	Usagi came running up a minute later, panting. "Gomen nasai, 
minna! The tutoring session lasted longer than I thought it would." 
Everyone smiled, they knew Usagi well. 

	"Well, we are just discussing the Princess." Ami said, pulling 
out her mini-computer. "We still have no clue to where she might be. I 
have researched, though, that she was the original holder of the 
ginzioushou, the gem that you use to heal people, Usagi-chan."

	Usagi looked stunned. "I have something that was originally the 
Moon Princess's?" She asked. "Sugoi!" (AN: i think that means cool.) 
Ami nodded. 

	"Protect it well, Usagi-chan. I have a feeling that it is one 
of the clues that could lead us to our Princess." Usagi nodded. 

	"Minna, I hate to come and run again, but I guess I was later 
to this meeting than usual. I have to go home for dinner." Everyone 
nodded, and they all went their seperate ways, Luna following Usagi.



~~At Usagi's Home~



	Usagi stared at the ginzioushou, mesmerized by the play of 
moonlight on its many facets. It shined brightly, almost as if it was 
calling out to her, telling her something. She shrugged it off and put 
it back in the brooch, and went to bed. 

	Luna sighed as she watched her charge sleep. It almost looked 
like Usagi was about to recall something, then she put the ginzioshou 
away. She knew that Usagi would remember soon, she just didn't know 
when.
