Usagi sat tensely in her regular booth at The Crown. She sat motionless, her lips on a straw that was in a glass full of chocolate milkshake, and eyes fixated on a man with jet black hair ordering coffee. "Please don't see me." She thought to herself.
"Usagi?" her blue-headed friend said in a hush tone.
"Shh..." Usagi hissed silently, still looking at the man who was now waiting on his coffee.
"It's not polite to stare." Her friend said under her breath. Usagi slowly pulled her eyes to her friend and gave her a soft glare.
"Usagi Tsukino!" A raven-haired girl exclaimed. "What is this?!" She yelled walking up to her. Usagi frantically moved her arms motioning the girl to stop.
"No I will not stop! This is ridiculous. I waited at the temple for three hours and here you are drinking it up!" She exclaimed.
"What did Odango do this time?" A male's voice said from behind the raven-haired girl.
Usagi groaned as she saw the man come into her view. "Shut up dragon breath!" Usagi exclaimed, giving the man a glare.
"Oh, that's a new insult. How long did it take you to come up with that one?" The man asked.
"Hey Mamoru." The raven-haired girl said, her eyes gazing upon his physique.
"Hi, Rei." Mamoru said shortly.
Rei fixed her skirt out of nervous habit. "You...look nice today." Rei said sweetly, expecting the same reply back.
"Thanks." Mamoru replied before drinking a sip of his hot coffee.
Usagi snorted loudly. "Smooth..." She said under her breath.
Mamoru lifted his head from his coffee. "What was that Odango?" He asked with curiosity in his voice.
"I said you're a prince charming in the making." Usagi said sarcastically.
"If you keep on eating the way you do you can be the princess of whales." He said, giving Usagi a dazzling smile.
"Thank you! That was surprisingly nice." Usagi said before taking a long look at her milkshake and finally realizing what he meant.
"You jerk!" Usagi said. Rei let out a loud laugh and Mamoru rolled his eyes. "See you later noodle brains." He said, walking to the door.
"I hope I never see you again, Jerk!" Usagi yelled out.
Mamoru walked down the long sidewalk to The Crown. He saw women glancing at him. He felt stares of desire all around him, but he didn't advance at the gawking women. He cared nothing for them. In fact there was no woman in the world that he thought about twice, but there was a girl. A blonde- headed girl who had two unique buns in her hair. She wouldn't leave his mind, he tried to concentrate on other things, but it seemed like every thought would lead him back to thinking of her. He recalled his last run in with the beautiful blonde two weeks ago. That is where she had said eight words that have never left Mamoru's mind "I hope I never see you again, Jerk!" Although he knew those words were only spoken out of anger, they still hurt him. It was as if he cared for the girl. Mamoru shook his head slowly. "I do not care for her." He thought to himself. He looked up and slightly smiled as he saw the blonde girl walking out of The Crown with an ice cream cone in her hand.
"Hey Odango!" Mamoru yelled out to the petite girl. The girl looked behind her and the cheerful smile that was on her face quickly vanished.
"What do you want?" She asked cruelly.
"Oh, don't be like that." Mamoru said with a pout.
"I have things to do." The girl said, turning away from the Mamoru and starting to walk.
Mamoru grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Her skin is so soft." He thought to himself as his thumb caressed her arm.
"What are you doing, dirt bag." She said taking her arm from his grasp.
Mamoru looked up to see a look of disgust in the girl's eyes. Mamoru's heart felt like it was going to break. He hated when he had moments like this with her. He looked for a perfect response in his head, but he couldn't find one. So he responded the only way he could.
"Well I was going to be nice to you, but if your going to look at me like that, you can forget it!" He exclaimed, while walking into the The Crown.
Mamoru continued walk further in, but looked back at the little blonde girl through the window. She looked at him with sympathetic eyes as if she was trying to say "Sorry.". He let out a short laugh at what he just thought and turned his head away from her slowly.
Usagi sat with her blue haired friend in her school cafeteria. Usagi's mouth watered as she saw the sandwich her mom packed for her. She reached in her lunch bag and took out a note that was placed under the sandwich. "I owe you a vanilla snack pack." The letter said with sloppy handwriting. "Must've been written by my brother."Usagi thought. "Vanilla was the ice cream I was eating yesterday." Usagi thought to herself now replaying the moment she had with Mamoru. "I could've sworn he was caressing my arm." She thought to herself, touching the place his thumb was.
"His touch gave me goose bumps, Ami." Usagi said to her friend.
Ami looked up from her book and sighed. "You're thinking about it to much." Ami said annoyed to hear her talking about the situation again.
"Do you think I might care for him?" Usagi asked her friend.
Ami looked at Usagi for a while. "No you just never... really been touched by a man before." She replied, sinking her head back into her novel. Usagi sighed and took a bite out of her sandwich.
"I like to thank you, Usagi Tsukino." Rei said happily behind the blonde.
"Why?" Usagi asked, her mouth full of half eaten sandwich.
"Because, you got me a date with Mamoru." Rei said, now taking a seat next to Usagi.
"How is that?" Usagi asked, swallowing her food.
"Well he was completely flustered about something you did yesterday. So, I told him that he could find peace at the temple. He came by later on in the day and talked to me." Rei said.
"About what?" Usagi asked, her throat getting dry.
"Let me finish." Rei snapped at the blonde. Usagi nodded for her to go on. "Anyways we talked until it got dark. Sadly he had to go home, but he asked me to meet him at the park today so we could continue our conversation." Rei finished, joy in her eyes.
"What were you two talking about?" Usagi asked, picking at her sandwich.
"That's for me to know and for you to never figure out." Rei said, sticking her nose in the air.
Usagi took a juice box from her small lunch bag and forcefully put the straw in the juice. Rei looked at Usagi with an intense joy in her eyes.
"You know Usagi, you could have had a chance with him." Rei said, getting up and standing next to Usagi.
"But you act too much like a child." Rei finished, walking to a table with a bunch of girls.
Usagi sucked her juice dry and smacked the box down to the table. "Stupid juice box. You run out to quickly." She murmured under her breath.
"Anger displacement isn't good, Usagi." Ami said, not taking her eyes off the book she was reading.
"Oh that Rei knows all the right buttons to press." Usagisaid, turning her head to look at Rei.
"That's because you let her press the buttons." Ami said.
"Oh no..." Usagi groaned.
"What?" Ami asked, lifting her eyes from her book in curiosity.
"You're in your psychiatrist mood." Usagi said.
Ami put her book down and looked at her friend. "Usagi, you should ask yourself this question and answer it truthfully in your head. Do you like Mamoru or are you jealous of Rei?" Ami said, picking up her book once more and reading.
"Your right Ami, I should explore that question." Usagi said, standing up heroically.
"And what is the best way to do that?" Ami asked, moving her hand motioning Usagi to keep talking.
"By spying on their date today." Usagi answered, picking up her trash.
"Usagi, you know that is not what I meant." Ami said exasperated.
"But it's what I concluded." Usagi said with a smile.
"I'm having a wonderful time." Rei said, clinging on to Mamoru's arm tightly.
"Umm...yeah so am I." Mamoru lied. Mamoru looked down at the smiling raven and felt guilty. She was gorgeous in her red sundress she had brought just for today. She had obviously been waiting all day for their little date through the park and was very nervous, but he couldn't help but notice that he cared nothing for her. In fact, the date through the park was just a way to get closer to Usagi. He tried to convince himself that the reason he invited Rei was because he cared for her, but there was no getting passed the main fact that the bubbly blonde was floating through his head all day.
"What are you thinking about?" Rei asked Mamoru, interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh nothing just how beautiful it is today." Mamoru lied again.
"It is a nice, beautiful day." Rei said, beaming up at him. "We should find a place to sit and continue our conversation." Rei said, walking to a stone bench.
Rei sat down and hit the cold stone motioning for Mamoru to sit next to her. "So, how was that test you were worried about?" Rei asked.
"I did great. Got an A." Mamoru said, sitting down on the stone bench. "Did you happen to tell Usagi about our umm...date?" Mamoru asked, letting out a timid cough.
Rei put on a look of confusion. "Well...yeah I did. Was I not suppose to?" Rei asked.
"No...I'm just surprise she's not bothering us right now." Mamoru said, watching Rei fix her dress.
"Usagi wouldn't do that. She despises you why would she purposely try to see you." Rei said, smiling at Mamoru.
Mamoru slightly grabbed his chest. "She despises me?" He asked, hurt filling his eyes.
Rei looked at him with more confusion in her eyes. "Well she never said she despised you, I just always thought you two really didn't like each other, but then again she was acting strange today." Rei said, frantically fixing her dress now.
"Oh, so you feel she hates me?" Mamoru questioned.
"I'm not sure. Why are we talking about her anyways? She causes too much heartache." Rei said.
"Yeah you're right." Mamoru said, laughing off his anxiety.
Usagi stood in the shade of a tree watching and listening to two people talk. "I do not cause too much heartache." Usagi huffed, watching Rei and Mamoru's date.
"Usagi, this isn't healthy." Ami said, behind her friend.
"What isn't healthy?" Usagi asked, still watching the couple.
"You watching their date." Ami said.
"Well you're here to which makes you just as unhealthy as me." Usagi said, sticking out her tongue.
"Your right Usagi. I shouldn't encourage this behavior. Call me when you realize how destructive you're being." Ami said, grabbing her briefcase from the ground and walking away.
"Oh! They're leaving." Usagi said, picking up her briefcase and casually but secretly following the pair.
Usagi looked at Rei and how happy she looked. Rei's smile was grander her eyes were brighter and her body seemed to sway as if she was dancing to an upbeat song, then Usagi turned her head to Mamoru who looked as if he didn't care. His lips weren't curved in a smile, his eyes didn't seem to glimmer and his body had the same motion it always had. Mamoru always seem to have the same emotions towards everyone, except for Usagi.
"Why does he treat me so bad?" Usagi asked herself, before tripping over a small rock. Usagi' body flew and hit an elderly woman which hit a muscular man. The elderly woman crashed into the ground and Usagi crashed on top of the woman. Embarrassed by her clumsy action Usagi rolled off the woman and apologized.
"It's quite alright, deary." The woman said, however the muscular man looked down at Usagi with anger.
"Watch where you're going, klutz." He said rudely, helping the elderly woman up.
"I'm sorry." Usagi said, tears forming in her eyes.
"I can't stand rude brats like you." The man said, still looking down at Usagi.
"That's quite enough. She said sorry." Another man's voice said. Usagi looked up and saw Mamoru looking down at her.
"Yeah, but that still..." The man started, but quickly stopped as he saw Mamoru's form. The man scoffed and walked away.
"Are you alright?" Mamoru asked, knelling down.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Usagi said, giving Mamoru a slight smile.
"Well that doesn't look to good." Mamoru said, pointing to a scratched up region on her arm.
"Its just a cut." Usagi said.
"Yeah, but cuts can get infected. Let me take a look at it." Mamoru said, grabbing Usagi's arm and sitting down next to her. Usagi felt a tingle, suddenly her heart felt elated. The goose bumps that Usagi felt last time were beginning to come back. She unconsciously smiled as Mamoru examined her arm.
"Well it looks like all you need is a band-aid. Put one on when you get home." Mamoru said, giving her a smile.
"Thank you." Usagi said, smiling back at him. Usagi and Mamoru sat there looking at each other's countenance. She looked at his eyes which seemed to have the same brightness as Rei's did, his smile seem to be grander and his body wasn't moving, but if it was she was sure it would be like he was swaying to an upbeat song. Usagi's eyes moved slowly, still examining Mamoru's face. She went from his eyes to his nose and stopped at his lips. "Such kissable lips."She thought to herself. Usagi blushed as she thought of herself kissing Mamoru and she was sure that Mamoru saw her cheeks go from a shade of pink to beat red. Mamoru let out a faint cough, which distracted Usagi's train of thought and put her back in reality.
"Wow, we must look ridiculous sitting her on the ground." Usagi said, letting out a chuckle.
Mamoru gave out a little laugh. "Yeah." He said, getting up and outstretching a hand to help Usagi up.
Usagi placed her hand in his and with great ease he lifted her from the ground. "Thank you again, Mamoru." Usagi said.
Mamoru gave her a dazzling smile. "Anytime." He said, his hand still holding her hand.
Usagi's eyes went from Mamoru to Rei, who stood near a tree looking at the two with eyes of sadness. "I should leave." Usagi said, still looking at Rei.
"Why leave? You should hang out with me and Rei. Were going to The Crown." He said, his eyes begging her to stay.
"Tempting offer, but I promised Ami that I would...feed her fish." Usagi lied, looking Mamoru in the eyes.
"Oh okay, well I shouldn't be holding you up." He said, releasing her hand.
Usagi gave him a warm smile. "Thanks again, Mamoru." She said. He nodded and turned around.
Usagi hesitantly turned around and started to walk on her way home. "Usagi!" Mamoru yelled out.
Usagi turned around and saw Mamoru giving her a devious smile. "Be careful, Odango." He yelled at her. Usagi smiled and turned around and continued on her way to her house.
Usagi walked through the darkened streets of Tokyo. "Mom's gonna blow a casket about how late I am." Usagi thought before she saw a little black kitten run behind her legs.
"Hey! Stupid cat! Give it back!" A little boy yelled, running over to the defenseless kitty.
"Leave the cat alone!" Usagi yelled at the little boy, who was followed by another little boy.
Usagi picked up the cat and saw that the cat had a puppet in its mouth. "Can I have the puppet, little kitty." Usagi asked, rubbing its head. The cat instantly obeyed and it dropped the puppet from its mouth straight to the ground.
"There you go." Usagi said to the little boys.
"Thanks lady, your really good with animals." The boy said, running away with his friend.
"Whom do you belong to?" Usagi asked, searching the cat for a tag.
"Guess you don't belong to anyone." Usagi said, putting the cat down. "Hope you find a home." She said continuing her way to her house.
