Title: Yours for all eternality (Part one) Author: Henra E-mail: HenMcg@goplay.com Rated: G Yours for all eternality Hello everyone! So good of you to drop by and read my story! Now, I'm not sure if you'll like it or not, I'm just trying my best to do a great job on it. This is a Mamoru, Seiya, and Usagi fic, and basically, it's just a romance story about them. You know, how Usagi's feeling get confused over them? Yeah, that. Anyway, I'm hoping you'll like it. Disclaimers: You know the drills, I do not own any of the Sailor Moon characters. (Although I really, really, really wish I did.) Now, on with the story! #~~~~~~~# Scene ** Thoughts This story takes place five months after the SM Sailor Stars. Mamoru and Usagi are of course, engaged, but are not married. #~~~~~~~# Part one "Oh my gosh!" Minako exclaimed, holding an outfit in front of her, "What do you think?" Everyone in the group sweatdropped. "I mean, don't you think it would look fabulous on me?" Mina giggled. "Fabulous? If you dare to wear that thing anywhere, I mean, ANYWHERE," Artemis, the white guradian cat of Mina's held up his paws, "Then that pretty face of yours is gone." Minako stuck her tongue out at her cat, and then looked pointedly at her close friends. "Usagi-chan? Makoto-chan? Ami-chan? Rei-chan? Come on, tell me, what do you think?" "Uh, uh, well, um, Minako-chan, the outfit is really, um—" Usagi paused, trying to think of something to say. "Yeah, uh, uh, the outfit is really, really," Makoto stammered, "I-I don't know how—" "To describe what we are feeling." Ami finished for her. Rei just looked at Minako as she was crazy. Minako sighed. She looked at her other four friends. "Michiru-san? Haruka-san? Hotaru-san? Setsuna-san?" Haruka smiled, a little bit nervously. She tried hard to think of something to say, but couldn't find anything in her brain, she elbowed Michiru. Michiru forced a big smile, "Well, Minako-san, the dress, I-I mean, don't you think it shows, a little bit—?" "Too much?" Setsuna helped her friend finished the sentence. "Yeah," commented Hotaru. Minako stared at the dress. It was yellow-orange flower outfit, the top was like a bra, (only it makes the person who wears it shows WAY too much of the, um, part) the bottom was a really, really short skirt, the bra and the skirt were connected with two strings, one at either side. "It looks pretty okay to me." Minako shrugged. Makoto forced a smile. "It would be good only if you wear it to the beach. . . but I presume that you are definitely not," Rei commented. "The beach? No way, I was thinking of going to the new opened mall in this." Minako smiled brightly. Again, everyone in the group sweatdropped. "Minako-san, I don't really think that, that, that, outfit would be appropriate for the mall." Michiru told the younger blonde. Minako looked disappointed, but she was beginning to have second thoughts about the outfit after she took another look at Artemis' paws, and also since all her friends didn't exactly approve of it. *Not even Usagi-chan, who always agreed with me on fashion.* Minako thought. She took a look at the outfit again, looking doubtful. Setsuna seized the chance, "Come on, Minako-san, let's go somewhere else where you can pick more, uh, COVERED outfits." Minako brightened. "Okay." She put back the outfit. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was "Sailor Senshi Day." It had been Usagi's idea, where all the senshi gathered and spend a day together. "Okay, you guys, where do you want to go next?" Haruka asked with her arm draped around Michiru. "I don't know. But I was thinking of the swimwear section. It's summer, you know." Minako answered. "Cool, I was thinking of the same thing! Come on then, let's go." exclaimed Usagi. With Usagi and Minako in the lead, all the other followed. "When will Minako change?" Artemis asked Luna, the black guradian cat of Usagi's. "Probably never." Luna answered. Setsuna shook her head, "I thought I told her to go someplace where she can pick more COVERED outfits. But I guess she's just not in the mood for that." When everyone arrived at the Swimwear section, Setsuna and Hotaru sat down on the floor, Michiru and Haruka walked off to the corner, Minako, Makoto, and Usagi oohed and aahed on every single swimsuit they saw. Ami pulled out a book from her backpack and starts to read, Rei, watching this, sighed. "This one is soooo cute!" Makoto exclaimed. "I agree!" Minako nodded. Usagi smiled. Then, she spotted a fuzzy, white flannel sweater in another section, without telling her friends, she hopped over there. "Ohh, this has got to be the most soft sweater I ever touched," Usagi whispered to herself. Suddenly, somebody circled its arms around Usagi's waist. Usagi gasped and turned around. "Mamo-chan!" Usagi cried, diving into her boyfriend's arms. The tall, handsome young man smiled. "Usako. . . . . ." After a brief moment, Usagi broke away. "What are you doing here?" Mamoru seemed embarrassed. "Well, I, I, uh—" Usagi frowned. "Are you alone or are you with someone?" Just then, a woman about fifty years-old appeared behind Mamoru. "Now, Mamoru-san, you are going to love what I picked for you!" And with that, she held a pair of red flowers decorating boxer shorts in front of Mamoru, which Usagi could see also. Mamoru's cheeks turned bright red. Usagi eyed the boxer shorts, and was trying her very, very best not to explode with laughter. "Uh, please, don't, just, uh, put that away, please?" Mamoru told the woman nervously. He tried to get her to look at Usagi and understand, but the woman wasn't paying the least bit of attention. "No, Mamoru-san, come on, don't you think it would look cute on you? I mean, ask that pretty girl, don't you think so, dear?" The woman smiled at Usagi. Mamoru turned to Usagi, his eyes begging her to say no. Usagi smiled slyly, "Well, I think it will look SO CUTE on him!" Mamoru looks like he was going to faint right then and there. "You guys, please?" "Well, I don't think I introduced myself yet," Usagi said, changing the subject, and also noting the redness on her Mamo-chan's cheeks. "Oh, I'm Sedusi, and you are—? " the woman focused on Usagi now. "Usagi." Usagi smiled and shook her hands with Sedusi. "I'm Mamoru's teacher from when he was just a little kid! He was so cute when he was little, when I saw him down the streets today, I hardly recognized him!" "People change a lot," said Usagi. "Yeah," Sedusi sighed, then turned to Mamoru once again, "Are you absolutely, positively sure, that you do not want the CUTEST pair of boxer shorts on Earth?" Sedusi then turned and winked at Usagi. "Yes, I'm positively, absolutely sure that I do not want that!!!" said Mamoru firmly. Usagi laughed softly. "Ooh! Look at the time! I have to go, now. See you! Usagi-san, nice meeting you!" Sedusi left. Usagi turned to Mamoru. "Well, well, well, now that explains why you are here, huh?" "Yeah, she dragged me here. I guess she wanted company. Too bad I'm not in the mood." "Hmm." "Usako. . . . . ." Mamoru held up Usagi's chin, and starts to kiss her. Their kiss lasted for a long time. Usagi suddenly felt like someone was watching them. Somebody was! "Ahem." That person cleared his/her throat. Usagi and Mamoru reluctantly pulled away from each other. Usagi turned around to see who interrupted their kiss. And she gasped. All the senshi—Minako, Makoto, Ami, Rei, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Hotaru were staring at them, eyebrows raised, arms crossed, and feet tapping. Usagi turned pink. Then red. Then crimson. "Oh, man," Mamoru said to himself. "Well, well, well." Haruka said. "Haruka-chan. . . . . ." Usagi started. "Usagi-chan, I can't say I'm surprised. Mamoru, I never expected it from you! I mean, right here in the store where EVERYONE can see you, doing that!" Rei exclaimed. Usagi turned sideways so she could see both Mamoru and the senshi. She saw Mamoru's face flushed with red. Mamoru looked at Usagi, Usagi made a face and tilted her head a little. They both then turned and look at the senshi. Every single of the senshi stared hard at Mamoru and Usagi. Then they all shook their heads. And then, they all said, together, "Get a room next time you guys do that." Usagi turned from crimson to bright pink. Mamoru turned into a deep, deep shade of red. Rei snickered, "You know, if we hadn't interrupt you guys, you would be REALLY in the need of a room—if you know what I mean." Usagi turned from bright pink to crimson red. Mamoru's face was as red as a tomato. The senshi all had their eyes locked on the two of them. Then, all eight of them burst into laughter. "Usagi-chan, Mamoru-san, gomen, but, (giggle, giggle) the look of you two changing colors on your face were absolutely priceless." Makoto said between giggles. Usagi shot Mamoru an what's-going-on look. Mamoru shrugged. "Gomen, you two, don't mind us," Minako told them, "but Usagi-chan, we are shopping right now, and Mamoru—do you want to join us?" Minako asked. "I-I don't think so." Mamoru took two steps back. "I don't think Mamo-chan is going to be very comfortable with all girls." Usagi told her friends, flashing Mamoru an understanding smile. Mamoru flashed an even more handsome smile of his to Usagi. "Okay, then." Minako linked her arm through Usagi, "Bye-bye, Mamoru." "Bye, Mamo-chan." Mamoru whispers, "Bye, my Usako." After Mamoru was gone from sight, Usagi turned and gave all the girls a hard glare. "Don't, I repeat, don't do that ever again." Haruka smiles slyly at the girl, "Couldn't resist." "Yeah, like I said before, the look of you AND Mamoru changing colors was absolutely priceless," Makoto looked like she was going to laugh all over again. Usagi crossed her arms. "Come on, Usagi-chan, let's just forget about it, okay? We still have a lot of shopping to do! Let's go!" Minako led Usagi a few steps in front of the others. Rei smiled, "It was pretty fun." The others nodded in agreement. #~~~~~~~# "I am wiped!" Usagi fall flat on the bed. "You are telling me." Minako told her. After the shopping, they all went to the Ice Cream Store, and went to the park. After that, the Outer Senshi said that they needed to go. So the Inner Senshi decided to hang out at Makoto's place after that. "Well, at least we all got something we wanted." Makoto commented. "I got four new books." Ami said, smiling. "Ami, you really need to loosen up sometimes." Usagi turned her head towards Ami. "I am relaxed when I'm reading." Everyone groaned. Ami merely smiled and opened up one of her new books. "Did I tell you that I'm bored?" Usagi asked. "You are telling us now." Makoto said. "If you don't mind, Makoto-chan, can I look at your photo album?" Makoto shook her head, "No, I don't mind, go ahead, they are in the top drawer of my desk." Usagi fumbled through the drawer and found an album that labeled, 'My special friends.' "Wow, I wonder if I'm in it." Usagi murmured to herself. Makoto heard this and smiled, "Of course you are in it, Usagi-chan, in fact, there are more pictures of you in that album more than anybody else! Even me!" "Cool!" Usagi slowly opened up the antique cover. The first picture was of herself and Makoto, hugging each other, smiling faces were greeting the camera. Usagi grinned. Then came shots of the five Inner Senshi; the four Outer Senshi; Minako and Makato shopping; Rei and Usagi arguing; Ami reading while the rest of the girls were in a pillow fight, etc. After about ten pictures, Usagi turned to a page where she saw. . . . . .The Three Lights. Usagi saddened. *I miss them so much—I even miss all the fights that Taiki and Yaten had.* Usagi then saw other pictures of the five Inner Senshi with the Three Lights, also pictures of the Starlights. Usagi wiped a tear from her eyes. Others became alarmed. "Are you okay, Usagi-chan?" Rei asked. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Usagi whispered. "What picture are you looking at?" Makoto leaned over and glanced at the page, "Oh." Usagi flipped to another page. Her heart twisted with sadness with what she saw. "Him. . . . . ." "What? What picture are you looking at now, Usagi-chan?" Ami asked. Usagi looks at Ami, tears welling up in her eyes, "Seiya." #~~~~~~~# "Luna, what time is it?" Usagi asked her cat, half-awake. "What??? Oh, aah, it's um, OH MY GOD! It's 8:19! Get up, get up!" Luna hopped in front of Usagi. "8:19!!! OH MAN, I'M GOING TO BE LATE! WAIT, I'M ALREADY LATE! SCHOOL STARTS AT 8:15, STUPID!" Usagi yelled. "Usagi, quit yelling, okay? Now, come on, dress and run!" "You got it!" After dressing, Usagi mumbled down some muffins, and ran out the door. "Bye, mom, bye dad, bye everyone!" Shingo looked at the running Usagi through the window, and smiled. "My sister, always like that. Hmm, maybe that's why I love her so much." His parents overheard him, and above his head, they smiled at each other. #~~~~~~~# "OH, you are (pants) going to get detentions for a whole week! Even a whole month! Oh, now why, why?" Usagi ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She was concentrating on running faster and faster, and when she turned at the corner, she didn't even bother to slow down. . . . . . . . .and that was definitely a mistake. "Ow! Watch where you are going. . . . . . . . . . . . Odango?" A familiar voice asked. *Odango? Only Mamo-chan and. . . . . .Seiya calls me that.* Usagi looked up. Seiya. "Hiya, Odango." Seiya said, happiness in his voice. "No. . .Seiya? Since when did you return to Earth? And why? Where's Taiki, and Yaten and your princess? Wait, are they even here? You didn't come alone, did you? Is there something wrong on your home planet? Is there an evil on Earth?" Usagi stopped to catch her breath. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Odango, calm down! One question at a time!" Seiya chuckled, his eyes never leaving Usagi's face. Usagi smiled. "Gomen, it's just that I'm so happy to see you!" Seiya brightened. "You are?" "Yes!!!" With that, Usagi flew into Seiya's arms. *I forgot how good it feels to be in Seiya's arms. No, I ALMOST forgot. The warmth is similar to Mamo-chan's, yet completely different.* Usagi thought to herself. They were both feeling very happy when Usagi suddenly remembered why she bumped into Seiya the first place. "I'M LATE! SORRY, SEIYA, BUT I'VE GOT TO GO!" Usagi took off. Seiya looked at Usagi in the sunlight. *Nice seeing you again, my Odango Atama.* He thought to himself sadly. *MY Odango Atama.* #~~~~~~~# ". . . . . .you guys are not going to believe who I bumped into when I was running to school today." Usagi was telling Minako, Makoto, and Ami at lunch. "Just who did you bump into? Seiya?" Makoto joked. Usagi almost dropped her juice. "Makoto, how did you know?" Now Makoto almost dropped her sandwich, "How did I know? You mean, I-I-I was r-rig-right??" Usagi nodded. They heard glasses shatter. Ami dropped her eyeglasses. Her eyes were about as wide as you can get, "N-no kidding? Seiya-san is actually here?" Usagi nodded her head again. Makoto let out a sigh, "Whoo, I wonder if the other two are here." "You mean Taiki and Yaten?" asked a still shocked Ami. "No, I mean Naru and Utami, of course I meant Taiki and Yaten, Ami!" Ami smiled. "I wonder why are they here. . ." Usagi murmured. "Who cares why they are here! I just hope that they can still sing as The Three Lights!" Makoto shouted. "Yeah, I miss Taiki." said Ami before she could stop herself. Usagi and Makoto turned towards her, sly smiles on their faces. "You mean it?" Ami blushed. *I guess there's no hiding from them now.* "I like him—sort of." "Now I am so surprised!" Usagi exclaimed. "Stop it!" Ami blushed even more. "Ami's got a crush!" "Stop it, it's not like it's my first one." "But it's a crush on KOU TAIKI!" #~~~~~~~# "HEY YOU GUYS! GUESS WHAT? I JUST HEARD THAT THE THREE LIGHTS ARE BACK! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" Rei shouted from her temple. Minako, Makoto, and Ami walked toward her, "Yeah, we know." "Really?" "Well, Ami and Makoto told me that the first time, but when we were on our way here, some girl told her friend that news, just loud enough for us to hear." Minako grinned. "I just can't believe they are back!" Rei said excitingly. "I know, me neither. But it's just so cool, huh?" Minako asked. Rei nodded in agreement. "Hey, where's that Usagi? Is she late again?" #~~~~~~~# *Be cool, Usagi, you gotta run fast, you hear? Your friends and you are getting together at Rei's temple, and guess what—you are late! Come on, run faster!* Usagi winced as she felt a pain in her leg. "Oh!" "Hey Odango!" "Huh? Oh my, Seiya, and-and Taiki and Yaten!" Usagi waved to them, "Hi!!!" Seiya, Taiki, even Yaten, all flashed her a warm smile. She ran up to them, "So where you guys are going to?" "No where, just walking around. We missed Tokyo." Seiya said. "Well, since you are not planning on going anywhere, why don't you guys come with me to Rei's temple!" Usagi tugged Seiya's sleeve. *They'll have to forgive me for being late if I brought the Three Lights with me.* "Fine with me!" Yaten exclaimed. Usagi looked at him in surprise, but didn't say anything. *He sure has changed. If it was before, I'm absolutely sure that I'd be covering my ears by now.* "Okay then, let's go!" Usagi pulled Seiya, the others followed. Seiya smiled. #~~~~~~~# "Look there's Usagi-chan!" Rei exclaimed, breathing a sigh of relief. "An-an-and Seiya!" Makoto muttered, couldn't believe her eyes. "There's Yaten behind him!" Minako said excitedly. "Oh my gosh, there's Taiki!" Ami said, a little bit loudly. "Hi you girls!" Taiki greeted them when they were in the temple. "Hi, Taiki." Ami said shyly. "YATEN!" squealed Minako, "I can't believe you are here!" Yaten smiled at the girl, "I'm glad to see you!" Minako's smile disappeared. *Okay, he's actually smiling at me. I finally accepted that he's never going to be nice to me, but now he's actually smiling at me! Now this is going to take some time to adjust to.* "Where did that beautiful smile of yours go, Minako-san?" Minako blushed. "Taiki?" Ami asked. "Ami?" "Well, now, that, that y-you are he-here," stammered Ami, "I gue-guess I have to watch out for a competitor, huh?" Taiki grinned. "Yep!" Seeing his smile, Ami returned with her own. "Aah, there's that smile." Taiki looked at Ami. "So that means your two brothers and you are going to be in our school again?" "Yes. Happy to see me?" Taiki teased. Ami smiled and looked at the floor. "So, you still haven't told me why you are here," whined Usagi. Seiya put his hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Can I say I'm here because I wanted to see you?" Usagi looked at hima and beamed. "Of course you can, my friend!" Seiya's heart sank. *Friend. That's how you describe me, Odango? Just 'friend'?* Usagi noticed his grim expression, "Hey, Seiya-san, are you okay?" When he didn't answer her, Usagi gave him a hug. "Usa. . . . . ." "Usa? Cool, that's a cute nickname! Beside Odango! You can call me that!" Usagi lifted her head to see Seiya's face. Just one look at her bright smile, Seiya's heart jumped up again. They didn't notice that they haven't let go of each other yet. Rei noticed Yuuichirou outside, looking at the sky, when he was suppose to be sweeping the floor. She stumbled out angrily. "Artemis. . . . . .look at Minako and Yaten. . .Yaten is actually making Minako blush! Look at Ami and Taiki, wow—looks like they are talking about something really interesting." Luna informed Artemis. Artemis grinned. "Look at how Rei is yelling at Yuuichirou. . .she have feelings for him, all right." Luna suddenly found herself looking at Seiya and Usagi. "And look at Seiya and Usagi—they are holding each other! Looks like they are speaking to each other, not through words, but through their eyes." "No kidding, Luna! I wonder if Usagi have the little bit of the you-know-what feeling for Seiya." Artemis stared at them, "They looks like a couple." Luna looked at Artemis in horror. "Now what are you thinking, Artemis? Usagi and MAMORU was meant to be, okay?" "Okay, I got you!" Artemis stepped away from the black cat, scared. "Gomen." Luna told him Artemis smiled. "Come on, let's go outside and stop Rei from making Yuuichirou feels like an idiot." Luna nodded. But before she went, she took another look at Seiya and Usagi. *They do look like couple, they haven't even moved from each other's grasp! I wonder what'll happen if SEIYA and Usagi were a couple—Luna! What are you thinking? Mamoru and Usagi have a future together, they are engaged! They even have a daughter together in the future! Luna, you are going crazy. But still. . . . . .* Luna looked at the two people holding each other, and she smiled. *Those eyes, those beautiful eyes. . .* Seiya looked at Usagi with wonder. *Odango-usa, how did you ever became so attractive?* Usagi looked at Seiya, *Wow, he looks so handsome with the beautiful setting sun in the background—Usagi! You have Mamoru! You are engaged to him!* Usagi blushed. "What are you blushing for?" asked Seiya. "Huh? Oh, no-nothing," Usagi answered. "Really? Then give me a smile," Seiya told her. Usagi smiled brightly at him to show that nothing's wrong. "Okay, that's soooo much better seeing that smile of yours," Seiya pulled Usagi closer. Usagi smiled even wider. "HELLO EVERYONE AGAIN! LOOK WHO'S HERE!!!" Rei yelled out, and everybody turned to look at her and the man beside her, everyone, except, well, Usagi and Seiya. "Hi, everyone," Mamoru said, with a smile on his face—that is, before he spotted Usagi and Seiya. Mamoru frowned slightly when he saw his love and a man who looks somewhat familiar standing so close to each other. Minako noticed the frowning Mamoru. She cleared her throat loudly to signal her best friend. Usagi heard the clearing throat sound, and shifted her eyes away from Seiya. Her curious sky-blue eyes got caught in the midnight-blue eyes of her lover. "Mamo-chan," she whispered. and her hands immediately dropped to her side. Seiya looked at Usagi, then at Mamoru, then back, the back to Mamoru again. "Hi. . .are you Seiya?" Mamoru asked, suddenly remembered one of the three men that left Earth five months ago. "Mamoru, right?" asked Seiya. "Yeah," Mamoru gave Seiya a welcome smile despite of his unlikeness of what was before his eyes just a minute ago. Usagi, realized that they haven't OFFICIALLY been introduced to each other, speaks up, "Okay, Seiya-san, this is Mamo-chan, or Mamoru, and Mamo-chan, this is Seiya-san." The two shook hands politely. "This is Yaten-san, Mamoru-san," said Minako. "And this is Taiki-san," Ami motioned to the person beside her. They all exchanged hellos. "So, when did you come back to Earth?" Mamoru asked a minute later when they were all sitting down. "Just yesterday." answered Seiya. "Really? How come?" "We just felt like it, okay?" said Yaten sharply. Mamoru was somewhat taken back by the sharpness of his voice, but pushed the unlikeness away. After a couple of minutes, everyone continued on their conversation. Seiya and Mamoru were getting along fine, much to Seiya's surprise. "You know, I think I need to go home now," said Makoto suddenly, "It's kind of late." Ami and Minako nodded in agreement. "OH MY GOSH! Look at the time! Mom and Dad'll kill me! I've got to go home NOW!!!" yelled Usagi. "I'll drive you home," said Mamoru and Seiya together. "I can walk home by myself. . ." Usagi knew she shouldn't choose either of them. "No, I insist," said Mamoru and Seiya together again. They both looked at each firmly. Usagi looked really uncomfortable. Minako, being the senshi of love, knew what was happening, "Hey, uh. . .why don't BOTH of you WALK Usagi-chan home?" Mamoru and Seiya stared at each other for a minute, then shrugged, "Sure, why not." Everyone said good-bye, and left one after another. Outside, Usagi smiled at Seiya and Mamoru uncomfortably. Like it? Come on, tell me what you think!!! Part 2 Yo-ho! Soooooo good to see you here again! Remember, I do not own any of the Sailor Mooon characters! Oh, and one more thing: If you are a really, really big Mamoru-and-Usagi-forever fan, you might dislike this part a little. But, please, read the story first! #~~~~~~~# Seiya walked at the left side of Usagi while Mamoru walked at the right side of her. It was silence all the way. When they arrived at Usagi's house, the door suddenly burst opened. Usagi's parents and Shingo all got out. Usagi's dad looks like he was ready to give the ground an earthquake. "WHERE ON EARTH WERE YOU???" Usagi's dad asked in a voice that was so loud it could probably be heard all the way in Canada. "Gomen, ne, daddy. My friends and I were hanging out at Rei's shrine. Everybody just forgot the time," replied Usagi in a teeny tiny voice. But Kenji wasn't listening to his daughter anymore, his eyes were moving back and forth from Seiya to Mamoru. "You BOTH walked my daughter home?" Seiya didn't dare say anything. Mamoru, since he was used to this, answered with a nod. "TWO MEN WALKED YOU HOME?" asked Kenji to his daughter. Shingo elbowed his mom. She tugged her husband's sleeve, "Come on, it's no big deal. I mean, it is very dark outside." Then, with all their might, Shingo and Ivoioka pulled the red-as-a-tomato-faced Kenji into house. Usagi turned toward the two men. "Thanks, you two, for walking me home." Usagi gave Mamoru a gentle good-bye kiss on his lips, then gave Seiya a soft kiss on the cheek. "Good-night." Usagi walked into the house and silently went upstairs, ignoring the voices of her mom and dad. "CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT TWO MEN WALKED HER HOME? TWO!!!" "Now, dear. . . . . ." Usagi fall flat on her bed. *Am I in a love triangle???* Outside, Mamoru left with one last look at Usagi's window. Seiya was still looking at the house. *She kissed him on the lips. . . . . .* #~~~~~~~# "Usagi-chan, you awake?" Rei asked in a irritated voice. "Huh? What??? Oh, so-sorry, Rei-chan." Usagi apologized "What's with you lately? You never listen to me anymore!" Ami asked, "Did she ever listens to you?" Rei glared at her, Ami backed off. "I'm sorry, guys, can I be excused?" Without waiting for an answer, Usagi left the room. Outside, Usagi climbed up the roof top, she turned around so she was facing the city. *Seiya. Why do I keep thinking about him?* Usagi looks at her shining ring. "I love Mamo-chan, I really do. But. . .why can't I just get Seiya out of my mind?" "You can't?" a soft voice asked. Usagi turned around. "Rei." "Usagi-chan, do you like Seiya a lot?" "Look, we are not suppose to be talking about this. I love Mamo-chan, I do, I really do." "I know you love Mamoru. But, maybe, just maybe, what you are feeling for Seiya is more than just friends. If you have any doubts, let me tell you this—you ARE caught in a love triangle." Rei said quietly. Usagi gasped. Rei looked at Usagi seriously, "Usagi-chan, I saw the way you and Seiya held each other yesterday when I was yelling at Yuuichirou—I was watching from the corner of my eyes. And I was so envious of you, to have Mamoru-san AND Seiya-san to look at you like that. But I also saw the expression in your eyes, Usagi-chan, you were looking at Seiya just like how you look at Mamoru—maybe a little bit less the same, but I could tell your feelings at that moment were much more than 'just friends', Usagi-chan, you owe it to yourself to find out that feeling. . . . . . .remember last time just before the Starlights left? Seiya told you that he was happy that your Mamoru have returned, and he also said that He'll never forget you, you said that you guys were friends forever, and I think he was hurt by it. You never truly understand what he felt for you, I thought that since they left, you could just forget all about it. But now, they are back, and you need to find out your true feelings for Seiya and tell him that." "Rei-chan, I don't know what I'm feeling!" Usagi cried. Rei gave Usagi a hug, "You know, Mamoru-san and Seiya-san are both very great guys. Mamoru is dark, mysterious, a COLLEGE guy, and definitely a drop-dead gorgeous." Usagi smiled at this. "Seiya, on the other hand, is funny, a talented singer, and, not to mention—really, really cool. I just love that ponytail of his! And, you gotta admit, he is one of those cutest guy you only see in magazines." Rei paused for a minute, then continued," I know you are confused right now, but don't worry, you'll find out who your heart belongs to soon." Rei smiled brightly at Usagi, then climbed down. Usagi sighed softly, she looked at her glowing ring on her fourth finger on her left hand. She touched it. #~~~~~~~# "Usagi? Usagi, wake up!" Luna rocked the sleeping girl. Usagi's head snapped up. "What??? Luna, what time is it?" "Usagi, you have a comic book in front of you! You never fall asleep when you are reading a comic book! And, it's 3:30 in the afternoon." "Sorry, Luna. . .I guess I was pretty tired." Usagi smiled apologetically. "You must be. Usagi. . .are you feeling okay lately?" Usagi looked startled. *Does Luna knows about the confusions I have for Seiya-san?* "You know that whatever happens, you can always come to talk to me." Luna had concerns in her voice. "Thank you, Luna," Usagi kissed the cat's head, "I know you always cared for me." The black cat put her paws on Usagi's hands, "Usagi, are you—is it—I mean, is-it, is it about, Seiya?" Usagi gasped. "How did you ever guessed?" "I don't know. It just came to me, I guess. Look, I won't lecturing you about your feelings for Seiya, all I know is, talk to them. Both of them. Mamoru and Seiya. Maybe that'll help you. But—this is only my advice, talk to Seiya first, since he's the one you have most of your confuses over." Usagi slowly nodded. "Yeah, maybe I should, thanks, Luna." She was in her long t-shirt only. So Usagi combed her hair until it was completely out of knots, and put it up into her two regular buns. She then pulled out a light blue tanktop, and a pair of bellbottoms jeans. After she was dressed, Usagi bounced right out the front door, feeling nervous. *Would Mamoru be mad?* Usagi stopped dead in her tracks. "I just called him Mamoru, not Mamo-chan! What's wrong with me? Oh well, I'd better be going." *Mamo-chan, and Seiya-san, oh, why am I so confused? Mamoru and I are engaged! I thought that what I felt for Seiya-san was only friends, but. . .I guess things do change.* #~~~~~~~# Seiya was in his room, singing when the doorbell rang. Since his two brothers weren't home, Seiya went to get the door. *Who could that be?* Seiya opened the door, and smiled. "Odango Atama, how are you doing?" Usagi smiled brightly. "I'm fine, Seiya-san. Thank you for your concern." "Come in, Usa." *Wow, Seiya—and her two brothers apartment is messy—LIKE MINE! MAYBE EVEN WORSE! Cool, finally, I found someone that's not any cleaner than I am.* With that thought, Usagi giggled. "What's so funny, Odango?" asked a curious Seiya. "Oh, nothing. It's just that, I didn't expect your apartment to be clean, that's all." Seiya laughed. "Of course not, we are NOT neat pins." "Neat pins? I hate that name!" Usagi joined in the laughter. "Anyway, did you EXPECT our apartment to be clean?" Usagi looked thoughtful. "You know what, Seiya-san, no, I actually did not expect your apartment to be clean. I expect it a little messy, probably, but not like this messy!" "Aah, there's the truth." Usagi grinned. "Come on, sit down, Odango." Seiya gestured toward the sofa. "Ooh, this is so comfortable! Leather?" "Yeah. So. . .what's up? I mean, what's going on? What brought you here?" "Well, first off, you STILL haven't told me the REAL reason that you are here." Usagi pointed a finger a Seiya. Seiya grinned. "It doesn't look like I have much of a choice except to tell you, huh?" "Yep, so out with it!!!" "Okay, okay. There's no danger on our home planet, believe me. There's no danger on Earth either, okay? Taiki, Yaten and I were singing right out at our palace when a shooting star went flying right in front of our eyes. It wasn't very usual that we see shooting stars. It was a legend that whenever we saw a shooting star, we need to see where's it's headed off to, and if it's somewhere you already know, then it means very good luck. And guess where the shooting star went off to?" Usagi rolled her eyes, "Earth, right?" "Now how did you ever know?" Usagi glared at Seiya. Seiya grinned. "Anyway, when my two brothers and I saw that the shooting star was going off to Earth, we decided to follow it. So, basically, that's why we are here." "But how come your princess didn't come?" "Because she didn't want to, there's still some things she needs to take care at our home planet. And, she—sort of know what kind of, uh, feelings I have for you." Usagi blushed. "Wha—what kind of feelings DO you have for me?" *Oh, stupid Usagi, Rei already told you the other day how he feels about you! Why want to make him more uncomfortable?* "What kind of feelings? Usagi-san, I-I think you already know." Seiya mumbled. "Yes, I admit that I sort of do. Rei-chan told me the other day. You know, about how the day that you left, you were hurt that the only feelings I felt for you was only friends." Seiya saddened. "Yeah, I was hurt, Odango. But it made me feel better knowing that your Mamo-chan would protect you, and love you the way that—that, that I do." when Seiya spoke the last sentence, his voice was incredibly soft. "Oh, Seiya. . ." Usagi could feel tears in her eyes. "When I got back on my home planet, I thought about you for a while. I would stare at Earth for an hour or more sometimes, thinking what you might be doing. And then when I thought that you might—you might be with you boyfriend, I would-I would just completely break down." A single tear rolled down Seiya's face. Usagi wiped away the tear on Seiya's face with the back of her right hand. Seiya looked at Usagi, Usagi stared right back at him, neither saying anything. "Seiya, tell me the truth. Do you-do you, I mean, ho-how much do you love me?" Usagi asked quietly. Seiya looked thoughtful for a minute, thinking what should be said. "I love you, Odango, more than you know." *Mamo-chan, forgive me for asking him this—but I, I need to know.* Taking a deep breath, Usagi asked again, "More than how much, Seiya-san? Tell me, I can handle it." "Usagi. . .Odango. . .Usa, I love you, much more than I love my princess, my two brothers, even myself. I would die for you, and live for you." Usagi gasped at his words. "I'm sorry, Seiya, for not knowing it when you left last time." "It's okay, I didn't tell you that. I just sort of figured that you already know." "I sort of got it figured out, but when you left, I just forgot all about those other feelings, so I thought your only feelings for me was friends." "It's a lot more that that—now you know since I told you. And. . .I'm glad I told you, Usa." "Me, too." They smiled at each other. It was Usagi who broke the quietness. "Seiya. . .are you, and your two brothers, going to stay on Earth forever?" Seiya searched Usagi's face. *Do you want me to stay, Usa?* "I don't know, but, for now, we are staying." He couldn't be sure, but Seiya could have swear that he saw Usagi's eyes sparkle when he said that. "So you are staying—for now?" "Didn't you hear what I said, Usa?" Usagi blushed. "I just wanted to make sure that I heard right." Seiya laughed. "You did heard right, okay?" "I knew that!" "I bet you didn't!" Usagi glared at the laughing Seiya. "Seiya! I did knew that! I told you I wanted to make sure!" "Right! You knew you had a hearing problem, and you knew you heard it wrong, so you are making up an excuse." "Seiya! This blabbering of yours is ridiculous!" Usagi begins to smile slowly, though. "Hah! I don't care!" "Seiya!" Seiya was still laughing, Usagi tried to shot him a glare that would absolutely freeze him, but just the sight of him laughing, she wanted to join in. "Seiya, please stop laughing, and look at me!" "Okay, okay." Seiya sat up and looked at Usagi as if he was a student, and Usagi was the teacher. "Now what are you doing staring at me like that?" Usagi asked. "Hey, I'm just listening to whatever you says." "Is that true?" Usagi suddenly got an idea in her head, "So, you'll listen to me whatever I says?" "Uh-oh, you are not planning anything silly, are you, Odango?" Seiya looked suspiciously at Usagi. "Why, Seiya! Of course I'm not, I just asked you that question because it was you who said that you were listening to whatever I says." Usagi looked at Seiya with big, innocent eyes. "Okay, I believe you. But this game only will last for five minutes. I've always ordered my two brothers around, I think I'd like to know how it feels to listen to a Odango." "Seiya. . ." Usagi warned. "Okay, okay, start the game. I'm listening to whatever you says from now on." "Terrific! Let's see, what should I order you to do?" Usagi smiled wickedly, and Seiya got butterflies all over in his stomach. *That Odango definitely is planning something. Oh man, why did I ever said that I was just listening to whatever she says?* Seiya thought to himself, while eyeing Usagi curiously. "Oh, I've got it! Ahem, Kou Seiya, I command you to drop to your knees and say, 'Usagi is the greatest, Usagi is the greatest.' over and over. Come on, do it!" "That's the best you've come up with?" Usagi stuck her tongue out at him. Seiya merely smiled and did what he was told. "Next, I want you to—" Usagi fumbled in her purse. She got out small hair clips, "I want you to put your hair up in two buns like me!" Usagi put all the stuff in front of her, beaming, obviously proud of her choice. Seiya's grin immediately disappeared. "Odango. . .please, don't. I don't ever, ever want odangos on my head." "Hey, I don't care! And since you are on your knees, I'll let that insult about not wanting odangos like mine up in your hair pass. Now go and do it!" Seiya mumbled something to himself, but went into the restroom. Usagi waited patiently in the living room for Seiya to return. After about fifteen minutes, Seiya came out. His expression very embarrassed. Usagi had her back to him, but when she heard his footsteps, she slowly turned around. And felt like exploding with laughters when she saw him. The two odangos on his head was WAY too silly. After a couple of seconds of staring at him, Usagi burst into laughter. "You look. . .so. . .(laughs) so, (laughs) so silly! Those two, two (laughs) odangos on your head is so cute!" Seiya became redder. "I can't believe I actually did what I was told." Usagi's laughter became louder as she looked at him again. Seiya suddenly got an wicked idea. He grinned. He walked slowly over to the sofa and pulled a cushion onto his hand. Usagi was now rolling with laughter, she didn't even notice that Seiya was beside her. Seiya took another step closer and starts to hit Usagi with the cushion. "HEY! HEY, HEY, HEY!!!" Usagi stopped laughing, and sits up. "SEIYA! STOP IT! WHOOOF, OW, HEY, CUT IT OUT!" While hitting her, Seiya laughed like a hyena. Usagi yells, "THAT'S IT!" She managed to duck another cushion attack, and grabbed another cushion to herself. She stood up, and starts to hit Seiya back. Seiya wasn't prepared, he was hit by Usagi a couple of times, but then starts to wake up and attacked Usagi back. They were both laughing at each other's reactions to the cushion attacks—the way Usagi whimpers and the way Seiya shuts his eyes and squirts his mouth when he saw a cushion came attacking. After about five minutes, they stopped hitting each other. Both had put down their cushions and were staring at each other. Usagi smiled at Seiya. *Wow, Seiya-san is so much fun! Why didn't we have this kind of silly little games before? Hmm, Mamo-chan never plays with me like this. . .not that I blame him, he IS in College. It will be way too silly to think a College student would use a cushion and starts hitting people. Hey, wait a minute, am I comparing Seiya-san to Mamo-chan?* Usagi was shocked at her last thought. "What are you thinking about, Odango?" Seiya asked, curious. Usagi blushed, know that Seiya can't possibly know what she had been thinking about, "No-nothing, really. Just, you know, THOUGHTS." Seiya stared at her, but then decided to let the topic go. "So, how do you think I look on these odangos?" Usagi looked at Seiya's odangos, and burst into laughter again. "Usa. . ." Seiya raised the cushion in his right hand. Usagi immediately stopped laughing. "No—" Usagi put up her two hands to surrender, "Sorry, but I must admit, those odangos really look cute on you." "Really?" Seiya put down cushion he held and touched the two odangos on his head, "you think it look cute?" "Yeah." "Hmm. . .you know, I think it probably can look cute on me. I guess when I look into the mirror, I wasn't expecting BLACK odangos, I thought that I should see two beautiful BLONDE odangos." Seiya smiled gently at Usagi. Usagi was confused by Seiya's words. "Blonde odangos? But, Seiya, you know that you have black hair!" Seiya let out an sigh. *It's really hard to get through you, Odango.* "I have black hair, that I know. But, I wasn't expecting to see black ODANGOS, you know? I was sort of expecting see those two beautiful blonde odangos on YOUR head," Seiya chuckled to himself, "stupid, huh?" Usagi finally understood what Seiya was saying. When she did, she blushed furiously. "No, it's not stupid at all. . .you weren't expecting black odangos, like you said." "Right. . ." Seiya looked at his feet. Usagi smiled, *Wait a minute, is the great Kou Seiya, lead singer of the Three Lights, uncomfortable around me, the Odango Atama Tsukino Usagi?* Seiya looked up, "Hey, Odango, what are you smiling about?" "Huh? Oh, no-nothing." "Really? Then why is the mischievious smile still on your face?" Usagi's smile immediately disappeared, "See, not there anymore!" Seiya chuckled at Usagi's silliness. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming to the front door, "Uh-oh." Seiya murmured. "What???" Usagi asked, alarmed. "My two brothers are back." "They are?" Usagi listened, "Yep, they are. HEY, Seiya, your ODANGOS!" "What???" Seiya fingered the two buns on his head, "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. I am dead meat." "Hey, Seiya, we are ho—" Yaten and Taiki stepped into the room, Yaten didn't even finish his sentence, he and Taiki looked at Seiya in shock. Seiya sighed. *Great.* Taiki and Yaten stared at their brother for a while, looked at each other, and in a blink of an eye, they burst out laughing. Seiya crossed his arms in front of him, and glared at his two brothers. "Wait, wait, hehe, let me guess, Usagi—you have something to do with this?" Taiki asked in between laughs. Usagi nodded uncomfortably. "Wow, Seiya, I never knew odangos can look CUTE on YOU!" with that, Yaten went into a howl of laughter again. "Oh, Yaten, I-I oughta—" Seiya began, but was cut short by Usagi's voice. "Whoa, look at the time! I've got to go. Uh—Seiya-san, could you walk me home?" Seiya looked at Usagi, confused, then understood what she was doing. "Uh, sure, sure. Come on, Usa." "Hey! Seiya, aren't you going to take those two odangos off? You don't want those fans of yours laugh the hell out of them, right?" Yaten asked, still laughing. "Shut up," Seiya murmured. "Come on, Seiya-san. Bye, Yaten-san, and Taiki-san." Usagi tugged Seiya's sleeve, and led him out of the door. As soon as they were out the door and down the apartment stairs, Seiya took off the two odangos on his head. He gave Usagi back all her stuff. Usagi gave him a rubber band to tie his hair back to his regular style. Seiya gave Usagi an apologetic smile, "Sorry my brothers got crazy, they are like that." "First, WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING TO ME? Second, I know your brothers are crazy, especially the one with the silver hair, baka Yaten." Usagi said. "Yeah, but—they are pretty cool through the teases." Seiya told her. Usagi nodded. "Seiya-san. . .I want to thank you. . .for the fun today." "Fun?" Seiya smiled, "I thought you hate those cushion attacks." "Well, it was fun hitting you." Usagi smiled back. "Really? Then we shall try again next time and see which is more fun—you hitting me, or I hitting you," Seiya said with dancing eyes. Usagi glared at him, "Seiya. . .you are lucky that this time I didn't hit you to death." "Oooh, am I suppose to be scared?" Usagi shot Seiya a cold look. "But, anyway. . .thanks for not killing me," Seiya said. "You are welcome!" Usagi beamed, "Now you know that you really should be afraid of me!" Seiya laughed, "Yes, I am afraid of you, O Mighty One." Usagi smiled, "You are really cool, and fun, Seiya-chan, " said Usagi before she could stop herself. *Did she just call me Seiya-chan?* Seiya thought to himself. "Well, of course I can be fun, Usa. And OF COURSE I'm cool!" Seiya beamed. "I know that, Seiya-chan, since practically all the girls in Tokyo are after you." Usagi told him, tilting her head to one side. "Really? EVERY single of the girls in Tokyo?" Seiya asked. "Hmm-mmm. Well, ALMOST everyone. Ami-chan doesn't like you a lot, sorry! She likes that brother of yours—Taiki." Usagi winked at Seiya. "Wow. Never knew that Ami-san is the kind of girl that falls for guys," Seiya stated. "Never??? Ha! This is at least the second time she fall for guys." Seiya smiled. "Well, Seiya-chan, you can go back now. I'm sure your two brothers have stopped laughing by now," Usagi told him. "Usa. . .thank you, for, you know, saving me from those two hyenas," Seiya said. Usagi beamed, "You are welcome." Seeing her smile, Seiya felt like his heart was flying. And then, without realizing it, Seiya stared at Usagi's full pink lips. Slowly, slowly, Seiya bend toward Usagi. Usagi closed her eyes for a while, thinking how she have 'saved' Seiya from his two brothers. *Maybe next time when I want him to do something for me, I can say that it's a pay back for me saving him. Yeah! I could do that!* Usagi opened her eyes again, and was shocked to find Seiya's deep blue eyes right in front of her. "Uh, uh—um, uh," Usagi stammered, dazed from the blueness in front of her. "Shh. . ." Seiya whispered, Usagi was aware that he was coming closer and closer. *Tsukino Usagi, you've got to stop looking into that deep blue eyes, and come to your senses!* But, Usagi didn't. Surprising herself, she let Seiya comes closer and closer to her, until she couldn't focus. Seiya's heart pounded. *I'm coming closer and closer to this goddess, and she's not moving away!* *What am I doing? Oh my, but those deep blue eyes. . .* Usagi thought to herself. Finally, Seiya's lips softly touched Usagi's. Usagi closed her eyes, her heart racing at least a thousand mile per minute. *Seiya's lips are so warm, it feels magical.* *I am actually kissing Odango!* Seiya thought excitedly. Usagi knew that she should break away, but she didn't. Seiya pressed his lips even more deeply into Usagi's. Usagi could feel every single cell in her body jumping up and down. *Kou Seiya, the famous Three Lights lead singer, is actually kissing me!* Seiya gave Usagi's lips one last press, then gently broke away. Usagi's heart was hammering in her chest. Seiya smiled at the girl, then he pretended to be hurt, "How come you didn't kiss me back?" Usagi lowered her head, "Well. . .I, just, uh. . . . . ." Seiya smiled at her nervousness, "Hey, I was just joking. . .at least you didn't break away. Now THAT would have broke my heart." "Hmmm. . ." Usagi murmured. Seiya pulled Usagi close, Usagi laid her head on his chest. An old woman walked by, when she spotted the two, she smiled to herself. "Young loves, so romantic." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ All you Mamoru fans out there, PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!
