His blue eyes were almost as beautiful as her love - But not quite. She was slowly suffering the fate of being star-crossed with the one she truly loved? So much pain. "Are you okay?" His dark mysterious voice asked as she threw her arms around him and sobbed. ~~~ Amazed (Marv Green/Aimee Mayo/Chris Lindsey) Every time our eyes meet This feeling inside me Is almost more than I can take Baby when you touch me I can feel how much you love me And it just blows me away I've never been this close to anyone or anything I can hear your thoughts I can see your dreams I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you The smell of your skin The taste of your kiss The way you whisper in the dark Your hair all around me, baby you surround me You touch everyplace in my heart Oh, it feels like the first time every time I wanna spent the whole night in your eyes I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you Every little thing that you do I'm so in love with you It just keeps getting better I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side Forever and ever Every little thing that you do Oh, every little thing that you do Baby I'm amazed by you ~~~ Just My Love Chapter 4 By Chi Chi and Eternal Angel ChibiUsa9@aol.com , Usako9@hotmail.com http://www.geocities.com/cherii_blossoms ~~~ Blue - so incredibly blue. Almost like his? Her heart thumped, a wave of sorrow began to fill her as she crumpled into a heap as his strong, protective arms surrounded her, holding her tightly. "Don't do this hime-sama," his deep voice told her, as she looked up at him, her blue eyes glistered with tears. "Don't cry little one, it's killing me to see you this way?" She took a deep breath, as he pulled her into his arms. She began the feel how safe and serene it was to be within his arms. "Hime?" his voice had called out to her as she stared at him. Concern filled his eyes. "Arigatou," she stated, "for being here for me." He nodded, pulling both of them from the ground. "Anything for you hime-sama." She could feel the weights upon her back lift up, as he wrapped his cape around her - as she stared up at his eyes. If only his Kaman wasn't in the way. ~~~ He woke up from the sound of his alarm clock blaring; his eyes were in refusal of opening up and returning back into the world of reality. He had felt as if he had not slept until an hour before? He groaned. Today was going to be a long tiring day. ~~~ She was awaken by the sound her mother's screeching voice, as her mind had refused to let her respond to the call until her cat's claws began to cave into her flesh - She jumped up from her bed, "Luna, don't do that!!" She had exclaimed, as the cat just stared at her, saying one simple line that made the girl rush away, "You're late." Her eyes widen and she had rushed into the bathroom, half dressed already. Another typical day had began. ~~~ He let his slow stride take him to class as his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't help but feel a tad bit guilty for kissing Minako. It was as if he was betraying Usagi? But they weren't together, even though he wished it was so. He sighed, he didn't know. His thoughts were in a mess. He turned the corner only to have another person run into him as they collided onto the ground. "Gomen nasai, gomen?" the painfully familiar voice had said as his eyes widen in realization of who the person was. Usa-ko. Looking up from the ground after picking up her book bag, her eyes met onto the person she had bumped into. She seemed to shudder at the demand of his gaze, as she seemed light headed at the blueness of his eyes?. She was beautiful. That was all he could think as he took a good look at her. Her beautiful hair was reduced to a shorter length, as it flowed freely from any restrictions of her usual hairstyle. She was even more beautiful - if that was possible. He felt in need of her, as his heart yearned for her? If only she wasn't - --with my best friend, was all she could think. Her eyes looked at him, as she bowed politely. "Gomen nasai Mamoru-kun." "It's okay." He had responded softly, as they passed each other a smile and went their separate ways. ~~~ "So, Mina-chan, tell me are you and that guy together? The guy from the game center??" Makoto had asked the blonde who blinked back in surprise. "Nani?" "You know, the kawaii guy! Tall, dark, and very cute?" Makoto had said as Usagi slid into the seat besides the two. "Hey minna, what are you talking about?" She had questioned, her eyes looking at the two as she avoiding meeting Minako's eyes. "Ohh, just talking about V-babes new boyfriend? I think you know him, that dark haired hunk from the game center?" "Boyfriend?" She had asked somewhat alarmed, as Minako stared at her friend somewhat angry. 'Just because she has Motoki-san doesn't mean I don't have anyone?' "Yeah, my boyfriend? his name is Mamoru? wait, you know him don't you?" 'No more turning back?' Minako had thought as Usagi stared with mix emotions crossing her face. "Hai, I do? you two make a cute couple." She tried hard to keep her voice from cracking. "That would explain the whole kissing thing in the street right?" "Kiss?" Minako had said, as Makoto's eyes lit up. "Kiss?! And you didn't tell me? How could you not V- babe!" Usagi had then left Minako fending herself next to Makoto as she closed her eyes. A tear trickled down her face. She sat in the game center, gazing at the people went in and out? In and out? "More boy problems?" Motoki's comforting voice had ask as Usagi nodded. "I can't get over him? he came into my life and changed it all, and now?" Her voice was dark and bitter. "It's more than just simply boy problems, or an infatuation? it's a broken heart? it's love," she had said as Motoki had placed a hand upon her shoulder. "What happened?" He asked Usagi, as she looked down, masking the pain that crossed her face. The words barely made it out of her mouth, "He's with my best friend." Motoki had gotten quite angered by her words, to think that Usagi was suffering so much because of some guy's idiotic blindness and cruelty. "He doesn't deserve you. He doesn't deserve your tears, or your thoughts? He doesn't deserve the time you spend lingering over him. You are wonderfully beautiful and special - it's just that he is so blind? forget the fool." His voice was threatening as Usagi shook her head. "Iie? I can't? I can't forget? I love him? I can't? I can't." She had crumbled before his eyes as he vowed to himself that when he found out who that basterd was, he'll beat him up and make sure he suffers for damaging Usagi's heart like this. His imouto deserved better than this. ~~~ Mamoru sighed as he slid into his usual stool and waited for Motoki to get his order. Today had been an especially long day for him. After the run in with her that morning, he just couldn't keep his mind off of her. But he knew it was useless. No matter how much he hoped and prayed, she would never be his. She belonged to Motoki. "Ohayo Mamoru-kun," came a feminine voice at his side. Mamoru glanced down as Minako hopped onto the stool next to him. "Ohayo Mina-chan," he replied gruffly. She was taken back by the harshness in his voice. "Are you still upset about the...um...you know?" she asked nervously. Mamoru caught the fear in her eye. "Oh Mina, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh, I've just had a rough day," he sighed. "I know what you mean," she said, placing a sympathetic hand on his arm. "I couldn't stop thinking about HIM, or THEM for that matter." Mamoru nodded in agreement. At least someone understood what he was going through. "As a matter of fact," Minako continued, "I saw Usagi earlier here today while my other friend Makoto was asking about us..." "And...?" Mamoru prompted as he saw the blush rise in Minako's cheeks. "Umm...Ikindaimpliedthatyouweremyboyfriend," she said in one breath. Minako peered up at Mamoru through her thick blonde bangs at his reaction. "I'm really sorry, but I was just so upset that she and Motoki are together that I kind of wanted to get back at her. Mamoru shook off his shock. "Wh..what did Usagi say when you said that?" "She said we make a cute couple. And umm, she saw the kiss..." Minako trailed off. Mamoru groaned and cradled his head in hands. "It doesn't matter anyways Mamoru-kun, she and Motoki are in love." Mamoru raised his head, slowly trying to accept the concept that the girl of his dreams was with his best friend. "Well I have to get going Mamoru. I'll see ya around kay?" Mamoru nodded his head. "Thanks for being here Minako," he said as he stood up to give her a hug good-bye. "Hey, no problem, we'll get through this together. Who knows, maybe we can write a book on how to get over the fact that the person you love is with your best friend," she laughed bitterly. Mamoru waved good-bye and sat back on the stool, deep in thought. "Hey Mamoru-kun, sorry I took so long," Motoki called out as he approached him with a pad and pen in hand. "What!" Mamoru growled, as the thought of him and Usagi cuddled in each others arms ran through his head. "Whoa..." Motoki said, holding up his hands in defense. He knew Mamoru to have mood swings, but never had he seen his friend this ticked off. "What's wrong Mamoru?" he asked worriedly. "None of your business," Mamoru snapped back. He saw the pain and hurt flash through his best friend's eyes, and groaned inwardly. No matter how mad he was, he couldn't take his anger out on Motoki. It wasn't his fault that Usagi liked him better. "I'm sorry Motoki-kun, I've just been having a bad day." Motoki nodded in understanding. "What'll it be...your usual? "Yea, thanks Toki," Mamoru said, flashing him a smile. ~~~ After Usagi had left the arcade, she found herself wandering through the rose garden of the park, deep in thought over what Minako had said. "Yeah, my boyfriend? his name is Mamoru? wait, you know him don't you?" "How could she?" Usagi cried. "What kind of friend is she, to take away the man that I love?" 'But she didn't know,' her heart whispered. 'And even if she did, who's to say that Mamoru would want you?' her subconscience sneered. "At...at least I have Tuxedo Kamen..." 'But you can't depend on him, you don't even know who he is. Maybe he just pities you' "ENOUGH! Just leave me alone!" Usagi cried out in frustration, blocking her ears from her mind's taunts. Slowly, she picked herself off the ground and decided to head on home. Usagi bent down to grasp her purse, but came up with nothing but air. Wildly, she glanced all around her, but her purse was nowhere to be found. Closing her eyes, Usagi remembered that she had left it in the booth, where she and Motoki had been talking. Sighing in frustration, Usagi slowly trudged her way back to the arcade. As she neared the arcade, she made the mistake of glancing into the windows, just in time to see Mamoru step off the stool and give Minako a hug. With a heart wrenching cry, Usagi took off completely forgetting the reason for coming to the arcade. She felt as though someone had grabbed her heart and stomped all over it. "Why?" Usagi cried out. "Why was I destined to fall in love with someone I can't have?" ~~~ Usagi walked into homeroom early for once, gazing warily at the empty seat next to Minako. Instead, she seated herself next to Gurio. "Hey Usagi-chan, why aren't you sitting next to Minako?" Gurio asked. "Umm..uh..." Then Usagi narrowed her eyes. "Are you trying to imply that you don't want me to sit next to you? And after all the times I saved you from being beaten up by bullies, this is how you treat me?!" "No..that's not um..what I meant," Gurio stuttered helplessly. "Gosh Gurio-kun, and after all those times, I thought we were friends," Usagi sniffled. "But we are!" he protested in his high-pitched squeaky voice. "And now you don't even want me to sit next to you!" she wailed. Everyone in class turned around and stared at the sobbing Usagi and the red faced Gurio. Immediately, everyone save Minako, gave Gurio the evil eye. Usagi looked at him through the corner of her eye and saw him gulp nervously at the threatening gazes he was receiving from the football team. 'Hook, line, and sinker!' Usagi thought wickedly. 'Damn male population,' she cursed. Poor Umino had fallen victim into Usagi's plot for revenge. *Chi Chi: Lol, I know this entire scene doesn't really seem to flow with the rest of the story, but it was just getting to overdramatic for me, I just had to throw in something comical...ok, so maybe it isn't that funny, but hey I tried. Oh, and sorry for bashing Umino if any of you are offended. "ATTENTION CLASS!" Haruna yelled from the front of the class. "I have a special announcement to make." With a great flourish, Haruna opened her briefcase and pulled out the daily newspaper. "I'm proud to annouce that the 1st place winner of the writing contest is our very own Tsukino Usagi!" Usagi's head snapped up as she heard her name being called. "Are you sure," she asked in bewilderment. "Congratulations Usagi-chan," Haruna smiled warmly at her. "A-Arigatou," she stammered. "Oh by the way, the newspaper wants you to stop by, they have a prize for the 1st place winner," Haruna mentioned. Usagi nodded her head because she was too dazed to speak. ~~~ The entire day had been a blur for Usagi. After the announcement, everyone seem to want to congratulate her. But the shocking part of it all was that her essay had won the contest. She had never won anything in her entire life. "Usagi-chan...Usagi-chan." "Huh what?" she snapped out of her daze. "Class is over." "Oh um yea...hehe," she giggled sheepishly. "One more thing Usagi." "Hai Haruna-sensei?" "I knew you could do it. All you had to do was put your mind to it." "Arigatou," she replied blushing. Quickly, she left the classroom and walked out into the fresh open air. Usagi quickly headed over to the arcade to meet up with her friends and celebrate the good news. As she entered, she noticed that Rei was already at their booth. "Hey Usa-chan!" Rei called with a big cheesy grin on her face. She sauntered over to the booth and looked at Rei warily. "Okay, who are you and what have you done with my Pyro?" "Geez Usagi, can't I be happy for my best friend, who just so happened to win a writing contest and five tickets to the Lights concert." "How did you find out about the contest?" Usagi asked in confusion. "It's right here in the newspaper," Rei replied. "See?" she said, sticking it in Usagi's face. "NANI!? Lemme see that!" Usagi shrieked. Rei was right, as a matter of fact, her essay was splayed all over the front page for the whole world to see. Including Mamoru. "Oh noo..." she moaned, thinking of all the trouble it would cause her when Mamoru read the essay, figure out it was him she was talking about, and tell Minako. "What are you groveling about?" Rei asked impatiently. "You should be happy that you won, now you can take your best friend to see the Lights!" she said excitedly with hearts in her eyes. But Usagi was too concerned with trying to figure out a way to stop Mamoru from seeing her essay to listen to Rei blabbler on about how cute Seiya was. Just when things couldn't get worse, Mamoru came strutting in with today's newspaper rolled up in his arm. ~~~ Whelps, here's another chapter for you guys.
