Sex and Cigarettes

Unlike my last Usagi x Diamond story, this one has more angst, drama, and evil intentions but a happy ending (for some). It will be smutty and fluffy too, and I hope you all enjoy.

The senshi are 16 and in high school. Mamoru is 22. I know; he's a creeper.

Usagi tried not to cry as Mamoru got on his plane for America. She knew he'd just think of her as a baby, but she was going to miss him so much.

Last Night

"Don't go," Usagi whimpered as she hugged him.

"Usako, this is my chance to make a difference."

"You're going to be a king. I think you'll make all the difference in the world."

"I know, but I want to be able to help people now. Crystal Tokyo isn't going to happen for some time. You aren't ready to become a Queen now."

"If I were, would you stay?"

He kissed her forehead. "We'll have Skype and phone calls. I'll come home for the breaks. It will be like no time before I'm back."

Usagi knew that was a lie, but she nodded.

Present

She watched his plane take off. He was really gone. He really left her, again. He promised he wouldn't leave her again after they got back together. She hoped it was true. She should have known it wasn't. Would he leave once they formed Crystal Tokyo? Once, she had known that his love for her was true and everlasting? Now, she wasn't sure what she knew.

She went home telling herself she wasn't going to cry, but it was a lie. She cried all morning and into the afternoon before she got Rei's text. "Senshi meeting 5PM."

Usagi didn't want to go, but she knew Rei would give her a new one if she skipped it, so she appeared anyway.

"You're only five minutes late," Rei snapped at her.

"Maybe your watch is fast," she muttered as she stepped inside.

"I only have 5:00 on my watch," Makoto said.

Was Rei's watch fast?

Ami told them about the youma she had seen on her way to the library this morning. "I transformed and went to defeat it, but it disappeared."

"Did you get a good look?" Makoto questioned.

"No. I just saw red hair; well the tips were red. I think it was dyed or something."

"That's not much to go on," Luna commented. She had come from Minako's. She had a date with Artemis earlier that day.

Usagi was finding it hard to focus. Without Mamoru, she felt weak.

"Are you awake Odango-atama?" Rei hissed at her.

"Yes," she said drearily.

"Are you sick?" Minako questioned.

Yes. Lovesick.

"I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and it's been a long day."

"What have you been doing?" Luna questioned.

Usagi didn't want to say she had been crying. She didn't answer at all.

"We'll have to keep our eyes out for this youma," Makoto said.

"We should focus on public gatherings," said Artemis. "If the youma are after people's energy, then they will be drawn towards large events."

"Or even if they're looking for a specific person," Ami added.

As the girls talked, Usagi thought this was a waste of time. They knew almost nothing. They hadn't even caught the youma doing anything and who knows if it will come back anytime soon.

She stared at the wall of the shrine. She wished she could just teleport out of here.

Once the meeting was adjourned, Minako offered to walk home with Usagi.

Something's wrong, and if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to, but I want you to know, I'll listen no matter what it is."

Usagi started to tear up. "Mamoru left me today."

Minako gasped. "I can't believe we all forgot. You must be reeling right now."

Usagi nodded. "I didn't want to look weak, so I didn't say anything."

"Loving someone isn't weak," Minako hugged her. "I should know."

"Even if he doesn't love you as much."

"You don't think that."

"He's always leaving me. When we lost our memories, I got mine back way before he did. He was about to get with another girl before he suddenly remembered. He broke up with me over a fucking dream!"

Sailor V was shocked at her language.

"Forgive me, but I endure so much for him and all I want is for him to be there for me, for once, but if he is, it's only as Tuxedo Kamen. I wonder if he just thinks of himself as my bodyguard and not my lover."

"Let's go get some hot chocolate."

They went to Motoki's and got hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream.

Motoki could tell when his friend was down. He brought a bowl of ice cream with two spoons, "on the house."

"Thanks," Usagi said.

"Anytime, Usagi."

Minako had no idea Usagi had been so pessimistic about her relationship. It made sense, but Usagi was always one to think with her heart and not her head. Hearing her contemplating things was depressing.

"I wish there was something I could do."

"You're here. That counts." Minako was here, and she's not in love with Usagi.

Minako kept her arm around her. I hope Mamoru gets his head out of his ass someday! Usagi deserves so much more.

It was an 11 hour flight from Japan to California. Add two hours for getting to the airport before his flight was to leave. Add another hour for getting through customs and getting his stuff. Add another hour to get him to his new apartment.

It was a 16 hour time difference, so by the time he got home it was 5AM California time, but 9PM his time. He had flown first class, so he had a massage and plenty of meals. He was still exhausted. He decided to sleep in and he'd probably wake up around noon.

He had a nice apartment. It was only a one bedroom, but it had a large living room and new appliances. It was fancy for a med student, especially one that came from humble beginnings, but he didn't have to pay for it himself.

It was 9AM when there was a knock on his door. He opened it to be met with ruby red lips. She kicked the door behind her as he led her to the bed. It was automatic, instinctual if you will. He knew every curve on her lovely body. He took off her clothing in moments. No amount of fatigue could stop him from this.

She reciprocated his movements, taking his clothes off before he flipped on top of her. His lips hit her neck. "It was hell being without you."

"It was barely a whole day," she laughed.

"Well, it was one day too long."

He started to grind against her. Soon he was hard.

He was only average sized, but his enthusiasm was leaps and bounds over the average male. He had lots of energy, and all of it would be hers.

She put a long, lean leg over him. He reached up to thrust into her. She groaned as he started to buck his hips back and forth.

Gaia was a goddess. She was gorgeous with her creamy skin, ruby red eyes, and beautiful reddish blond hair. She was a woman. Usagi was just a girl, a sweet one, but way too immature for Mamoru's tastes. It was getting hader and harder to hide his lover from her. She kept trying to spend time with him. His "med school" was the perfect excuse to get out of her prying eyes. Now, he could have Gaia as much as he could before this dreaded Crystal Tokyo. If only he could find his way out of it.

"OH MAMORU!" she whimpered. He loved hearing her cry for him. He thrusted harder and faster, showing off his athleticism before flipping her over, so she was on top.

"Ride me!" He loved that she took control. She rode him like a bucking bronco. Clearly, she had a decent amount of experience before they got together. There's something ego-satisfying about being a girl's first, but at the end of the day, he wanted a woman to fuck and he had it. He'd get to Usagi's cherry, eventually.

He kept going until he came deep inside of her. He fell back onto the bed, his energy drained.

Usagi called Mamoru to tell him she missed him. She waited until it was 7PM his time since she figured he had a long flight, even though it was 3AM her time. He didn't answer. She left a message.

When he didn't call her back, she tried the next day and the day after that. Why was he ignoring her?

She had been checking her e-mail and Skype and nothing. Finally, she asked Motoki, "Have you heard from Mamo-chan?"

"No. He hasn't called you."

"No. I called three times. There's no e-mail or Skype or instant messenger."

"How weird?" One day he could understand for fatigue, but three. "I'll see if I can get ahold of him."

"Thanks Motoki." Hopefully, he could find his friend.

Motoki did call him at 2PM, and he didn't get an answer. He also tried Skype and sending an e-mail.

"Yo Mamoru,

Your girlfriend is worried about her. Call her and don't be a dick. She should have heard from you by now.

Motoki

He didn't even get an answer. Two days later, he told Usagi. "He didn't respond to my call or e-mail."

Usagi was really starting to worry. He might ignore her for being "childish" but why would he ignore Motoki.

"Should I call the police?"

Motoki didn't know. "I think five days is long enough to file a missing persons report in the states."

Usagi consulted Minako first.

"You haven't heard anything?"

"And neither has Motoki," Usagi cried. "What if something happened to him?"

Minako hugged her. "Want me to call with you?"

Usagi nodded. They found a non-emergency number for the LAPD and called.

"Hello, Officer?"

"I'm Officer Jenkins."

"Officer Jenkins, Hi. My name is Minako Aino. I'm calling with my friend Usagi Tsukino. Her boyfriend moved to Los Angeles and was supposed to arrive five days ago, but we haven't been able to get ahold of him. We're worried there might be foul play."

The officer wasn't so sure about that. A lot of times, guys were just ignoring their girlfriends. "Did they have a lovers' quarrel?"

"No, and his best friend can't reach him either."

The officer sighed. "We can do a wellness check, but unless there's a roommate or someone to let us inside, our options are limited."

"I understand. He lives on 600 N Sepulveda Bvld."

"We'll send out a patrolman."

An hour later, a beat cop knocked on the door.

Gaia answered the door. "Hello officer, may I help you?"

"Yes. I came to check in on a Ma-mo-ru Chi-ba." He totally butchered the pronunciation.

"Oh he lives here, but he's out for the moment. Is there anything I can help with?"

"His girlfriend reported him missing. I just wanted to make sure he's breathing or whatever."

"Oh," she blushed. "Yeah, he was supposed to dump her for me. He must have forgot."

The officer felt bad. "I'll tell her he was at work."

"School He's a student."

The officer reported to his superior who wasn't surprised that the guy was a cad. Usagi sounded sweet. He couldn't tell her that. Instead he said, "the officer heard from his neighbor that he went to orientation."

"But why hasn't he called me?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't speak to him directly, so I don't know."

Usagi was heartbroken. She would have been if something had happened to him, but nothing was wrong made her feel really awful. "Thank you for your time."

She started crying so hard she was trembling. She just buried her face in the pillow, wanting it all to go away.

When Minako came to check the next day, she was livid to hear that Mamoru was so inconsiderate. "I have half a mind to fly over there and slap the shit out of him!"

Usagi was stunned by her language.

"Sorry, I'm really mad at him."

"I just feel like dirt. Am I not worthy of love? Why couldn't he just text me so I know he's okay."

Minako hugged her. "You're the most worthy of us all. Don't doubt yourself for a second over this jerk."

Usagi asked Minako to keep this between them.

Minako (reluctantly) agreed.

Usagi was humiliated.

The future Queen was walking home alone, she wasn't up for hanging out with the girls right now, when she saw a man leaning on a building smoking.

"That's bad for you," she told him.

He dropped it and stomped on it. "No one told me."

Usagi was about to ask him if he had gone to school, but she realized he was being sarcastic. "Why waste money on cancer?"

He laughed. "You a doctor or something?"

She started to cry.

He frowned. "Did you lose someone to lung cancer or something?"

"My boyfriend left me to go to med school, and he won't call me back. He's been gone over a week."

The boy handed her a handkerchief. "He didn't call you once?"

"Not since he left. I waved him off, and he won't respond to my calls or e-mails. I even sent the police because I thought he had met foul play."

Damn. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like he dumped you and instead of being a man and telling you before he left, he just got a new phone."

Usagi had already realized this, but hearing a stranger say it was so much worse. She started to sob.

He hugged her. "There, there. You're so pretty, and you seem like a sweetheart. I'm sure you can find a better boyfriend who's in this country."

But she's supposed to marry him and form Crystal Tokyo. "I must look stupid crying on you. I don't even know you."

"Don't worry. The strangers walking by don't realize I don't know you. I'm Diamond by the way."

"Usagi." The girl frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"I knew a man named Diamond. He looked like you, but he died."

"When did he die?"

"About six months ago."

"How odd? I don't remember anything before last month."

"What?"

"I woke up in my apartment, and I don't know how I got there. I didn't know my own name or how I even got the apartment. I had to check my own male to learn my name. Apparently, I'm a bartender."

"How is that possible?"

"Don't know. I went to the doctor. I didn't show any brain damage. He thought it might be PTSD or something weird."

Usagi looked at his face. "Do you think you could be the Diamond I knew, reincarnated?"

He shrugged. "It makes about much sense as anything the doctors told me."

They ended up going to his apartment. He wanted to shower and change before he had to go to work.

Usagi called her parents and said she was eating dinner with a friend, which was true, sort of.

Diamond came out of the shower and Usagi blushed. He had a perfect body, big pecs, very defined abs, and nice biceps. He was tall and lean still but he was cut.

"Like what you see?" he said with a cocky smile.

"Like I would date a smoker."

"That's prejudiced!"

"Aren't we all?"

He chuckled. "I like you Usagi."

They ate at the bar before his shift.

"These duck pancakes are so good!"

"I know, right," he said as he ate his pork bun. He alternated between getting the pork buns and the duck dish.

She had never really hung out in a bar before. She was actually underage.

"So what is your specialty?"

"I usually make a drink called the fallen lady, but I'll make up a new one for you."

"Really?"

Before his shift started, he poured a drink of rum, lime, Cointreau and club soda. He garnished it with a raspberry.

"What do you call this?"

"Forget that stupid bastard."

Usagi laughed. She had never laughed about her plight with Mamoru but it felt good. She was bitter and angry, but she still felt good. She took a sip. "This tastes good!" It didn't take her long to finish it.

He could tell she didn't drink much and her next drink was just water.

It was crowded for a Thursday, but this only meant more tips for Diamond. He managed to do quite well for himself. He took out a twenty and put it in the register.

"What's that for?"

"Your drinks," he laughed.

"Oh I would have bought them."

"Nonsense," he told her.

They argued but he refused to take her money.

He walked her home and she kissed him at the door. It was just a peck but she said, "if you want me to ever date you, then you'll have to stop smoking."

He turned pink, not expecting the kiss but he liked it just the same.

"Are you worth it?"

"You know I am," she said teasingly as she went into her home.

He looked at her ass as she walked away. God she looked sexy. He knew he just met her but he had to hit that. He would not rest until he found her riding his cock.

He left before he did something stupid and went home.

Kenji was not impressed that Usagi stayed out so late on a school night.

"Where does that girl go?"

Ikuko knew she was a good girl. "She's been so depressed lately. Maybe she just needed a day off."

Usagi woke up late on Friday. The alcohol didn't help her cause. She managed to get herself to school seconds before the bell. She just missed detention.

Ami was worried about her. "You look frazzled."

"Just had to rush," Usagi slinked into her seat.

The other girls noticed her depression, but that seemed to be gone. Now she was just spacy.

Rei wanted to stage an intervention. "We have to get her to talk about what is wrong with her."

Makoto agreed. "We can't help until we know what's wrong and she's been acting really weird lately."

Ami pondered. "I know she doesn't like the beginning of the school year, but this is really bad."

Minako stayed silent.

Rei noticed. "Did she tell you?"

Minako only said, "I promised not to tell."

"Bullshit!" Makoto yelled.

"How come she went to you?" Rei questioned.

"I went to her."

"What is this, some kind of dumb blonde secret?" Rei folded her arms.

Minako frowned. "Won't work. You can't bait me into telling."

"Can we guess?" Makoto tried.

Minako shook her head.

Ami wondered, "maybe we should see if she'll talk to us."

They decided that Makoto would try. She approached Usagi after school.

"Hey Usagi."

"Hey Mako-chan. What's up."

"We haven't seen much of you lately."

"I know," Usagi admitted. "And I should have said something. I wasn't in a good mood."

"Oh that's okay. You know we're always here for you."

Except for when you aren't. "I know. I'm feeling much better now."

"Did you want to go to Motoki's after school?"

"You bet!"

Rei was disappointed. "She didn't tell you?"

"But she's going out with us. That's progress, right?"

"Maybe she'll talk now that she's feeling better," Ami suggested.

Rei sighed.

They got to the arcade and Usagi got a chocolate milkshake, "with whipped cream and extra sprinkles please!"

"I'm glad to see you back, and I'm sorry Mamoru was such an asshole."

Usagi blushed. She hadn't told the other girls.

"What did he do?" Makoto questioned.

Usagi looked down. "He didn't call me."

"What?"

"He didn't call me," she said louder.

"You got all depressed because he missed one phone call?"

Usagi didn't appreciate Rei's condescending attitude. "He hasn't called me since he moved to America two weeks ago."

Ami's eyes got big. "I forgot he moved. No wonder you were so upset."

"He hasn't called at all?" Makoto questioned.

"No, and I tried leaving voicemails, e-mails and Motoki called him before I called the police. They contacted him and said he was fine. He just decided to dump me by ignoring me. I spent ten days missing him like crazy before I finally accepted that I just got dumped."

Rei was stunned. She felt like such a bitch right now. She hugged her friend. "Why didn't you tell us he was such a tool?" She wanted to punch his balls.

"I felt stupid. I clearly loved him more than he loved me."

Minako finally spoke. "He was the only dumb one."

Rei vowed to kick his ass whenever he showed his nasty looking face in Japan.

"His face isn't nasty looking," Ami corrected.

"It will be when I'm done with him!"

She and Makoto talked on end about how they were going to make him suffer.

Usagi just wanted, "not to talk about him anymore. I need to focus on me for once." She had put way too much into this relationship.

Minako felt terrible for her friend. Usagi deserved so much better than that asshole. She was so distracted by her friend's plight that she didn't' even realize that she ran straight into another person.

"I'm sorry. I was not looking where I was going," she admitted.

"Neither was I. I kind of got distracted by this manga."

"Do you always read manga while you walk?"

"Only if I have a new Sailor V. I'm Sapphire."

"Minako." She frowned. "Wait, I thought you died."

"You know me. I don't really know who I am."

"What?"

They started to talk in a coffee shop. "I lost my memories. The doctors don't know why, and I only remember the last month or so. I don't know anything about my past."

"Well, I know that you had a brother, who I thought also died, but maybe he didn't. His name was Diamond."

Sapphire shrugged. "We must have weird parents if they named us after jewels. That's usually a girl thing."

Minako laughed. "I guess it is."

She couldn't reveal her identity yet, so she had to keep the information about him limited. They talked about other things and they decided to go to a movie on Saturday.

"I can't wait," Sapphire said as he took her home. He had a date and he is one step closer to figuring out who he is. He just needs to find his brother. How many Diamonds can there be?

The next day, Sapphire did find Diamond Black's phone number. He just had to pay $10 to some shady website to get it.

He made the call and said, "I know this must sound weird, but I think I'm your brother."

"Are you Sapphire?"

"You know?"

"I met this girl who thinks I'm reincarnated or something. She said I had a brother."

"Me too."

"Usagi?"

"No. Minako."

"Well, did you want to get pancakes or something?"

"I love pancakes!"

They went to a diner and each got the big boy stack of pancakes with butter, syrup, bacon and hash browns.

"We like the same food," Sapphire commented as he reached for the sriracha.

"What do you do?"

"I'm an artist apparently. I got some check for a painting I don't remember well, painting."

"I don't remember becoming a bartender, but allegedly, I did."

"Can you make drinks?"

"Yeah."

"Maybe I can paint. I haven't tried yet."

Diamond explained how he met Usagi. "She chastised me over smoking."

"Well it does give you nasty breath."

"Someone gave me one for free and I didn't remember not smoking so I started."

"Maybe you should quit."

"She said she wouldn't date me unless I quit."

"Another reason."

"But she just got dumped. I probably won't be able to date her for a month anyway." So I can keep smoking for like another two weeks.

"You're going to smoke longer since you have to wait anyway?"

"Why not?"

"That's dumb."

"So. I don't remember being smart!"

The brothers laughed.

They agreed to meet again in a few days. Hopefully, their new ladies would help them remember their old lives.

That night, Sapphire had his date with Minako. He got to her house at seven wearing a blue button down shirt and black jeans.

Minako wore a pink dress.

"You look lovely," Sapphire told her.

"Thanks," she blushed.

"Shall we?"

They took the subway to the movie theatre.

Sapphire bought the tickets. She offered to split it and he said, "it's bad enough I can't afford a car. I wouldn't have asked you on a date if I couldn't afford the movie tickets."

She chuckled. "You're silly."

She got the popcorn, while he was in the bathroom, so he couldn't object, and then they went to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

It was secretly the kind of movie Sapphire would watch and not tell his brother he actually liked.

They held hands most of the movie. Minako was surprised that he was paying attention. He would laugh and smile in such a charming way. After the movie was over, she leaned in close, "What now?"

"Want to make out until they make us leave?"

She laughed and kissed him. His lips tasted like soda. His mouth was hot and his tongue was big. She teased it with her smaller tongue and her fingers went in his hair. He pulled her on his lap. She was so beautiful and she was sweet. He felt like he was in love.

The usher eventually kicked them out, and he walked her home.

"Can we go out again next week?" he asked her.

"Yes," Minako said. "I'd like that." She felt so happy right now. He was perfect.

Usagi and Diamond, however, were texting back and forth instead of meeting up in person.

"I gotta go to work," he said to her

"What's stopping you?"

"Ur distracting."

"Aren't u a grown man?"

"Ouch!"

She sent an emoticon with a tongue sticking out.

He sent one of a funny face.

"Bye, so I don't distract you."

He texted her on his break and when he got home. She watched movies on her couch, but she had her phone in hand. She spoke to him more tonight than she had Mamoru in probably a month, which included the week and a half they had together before he left. Man her relationship sucked ass. Fuck Crystal Tokyo.

Luna hadn't even noticed they broke up until Artemis said something about it. "I can't believe Mamoru dumped Usagi like that!"

"WHAT?''

"You didn't hear. He just got a new phone."

Luna shrieked. "He can't do that! He'll ruin the future!"

She sprinted home where Usagi was actually doing homework. "Hey Luna!"

"When were you going to tell me about Mamoru?"

Usagi shrugged. "You were happy with Artemis. I didn't want to intrude."

"You should have told me to come home. What about the future?"

Usagi shrugged. "I can't follow him to America, and even if I had that kind of money, what do I say? He knows about the future."

That was unfortunately right on point. "But what about Chibiusa?"

Usagi looked sad. "I hope I can make her with the crystal."

That was a possibility. "Me too," Luna said, even though she needed Crystal Tokyo to happen.

On Tuesday, Diamond and Sapphire met for a drink at his work.

"What's the fallen lady?"

"Dark chocolate syrup, Chambord, rum and bitters, and shaken with ice."

"Sounds good. I'll get that."

Diamond made the drink.

Sapphire took a sip.

"How did your date go?"

Sapphire did a thumb up before he put his drink down. "Awesome."

"Movie make out?"

"Yeah and the movie didn't have Patrick Dempsey or someone like Matthew McConaughey."

"Did it have any hot girls?"

"Emma Watson."

"She's more cute than hot, but it could be a lot worse."

"Yeah, I like girls who are curvier, like Minako."

"Oh Usagi's a perfect ten." Diamond had all kind of lewd thoughts for what he would do to that perfect body.

Sapphire had an idea. "If they each knew us, maybe they know each other too."

"Yeah. We should try to meet with them this weekend."

Sapphire asked Minako if she wanted to meet his brother.

"Sure, that sounds fun."

"And he's bringing some girl he likes."

"Okay."

Rei suggested they all go out on Friday.

Usagi was busy. "Sorry, I promised a friend I'd meet her brother."

"What?"

"Naru's brother is new in town and she wanted em to meet him."

"How is her brother new in town?" Rei asked.

"He's her half-brother. His father has an ex-wife from before he married Naru's mother, so he didn't grow up in Tokyo."

"I didn't know that," Ami said.

"There was infidelity," Usagi whispered, "so she didn't want to tell people."

"Oh," everyone said quietly.

Usagi couldn't believe they all bought that bullshit.

"I have a date," Minako said eventually. "But maybe another time."

Neither Minako nor Usagi knew the other girl was hiding something from the other senshi until Friday. They ran into each other outside a pizzeria.

"What are you doing here?" Usagi questioned.

"My date and you're meeting Naru's brother."

"Yeah."

This was so awkward. They went inside, just to see their guys at the same table.

"Usagi,"

"Minako."

The girls looked at each other, oh shit.

"You're dating Sapphire?"

"You and Diamond."

"They do know each other," Sapphire told his brother.

The two girls said they needed the bathroom.

"How come you didn't tell me Diamond was alive?"

"You didn't tell me about Sapphire?"

"Okay, I thought the girls would give me a hard time because he used to be Black Moon Clan."

"I was worried about that and about Crystal Tokyo."

"Ooh!" Minako said. "Well how does Diamond treat you?"

"Great. He texts me, and pays attention to me when we hang out and drives me home without complaining about gas prices."

Minako was sad that this was such a revelation to her friend. "Well, Sapphire's great too."

"I need more time before I tell the girls."

"Me too!"

"They went back out there."

"What was your secret meeting about?" Diamond questioned.

"We can't tell or it wouldn't be a secret," Usagi teased.

"Oh burn."

Sapphire rolled his eyes. "What toppings do you like?"
