Tsukino Usagi sighs wearily, why the hell did she put up with her family's shit again. At least Yusuke's mom loved him, even if she was drunk 99 percent of the time. She makes her way to the Uremeshi home thinking about that damned cat she had saved from those arrogant little gakis and just walks in the front door of the Uremeshi home. She cleans up the beer bottles and puts a load of laundry in the washer before going into Yusuke's room and kicking him awake. " Dammit, Usa, must you be so vicious? " Yusuke grumbles.
" Hell yes, now, get your ass ready for school, I don't feel like dealing with idiots today. This means you will be attending all day. " Usagi tells him tartly. She wore the blue girl's uniform for Sarayashiki Jr. High along with the yellow bow that went with it.
Yusuke winces, he knew that tone and Usa was scarier than his childhood friend Yukimura Keiko. It didn't hurt that Usa wasn't afraid to get down and dirty in a street fight, especially after meeting him. One more thing Keiko rode his ass about, corrupting a sweet girl. What Keiko didn't know was that Usa suffered from DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder. There was Kurai(Dark), her dark side and then there was Mujaki(Innocent), her innocence, hopes, regrets, and dreams all rolled into one. It was meeting him that helped her to master her different personalities and he was the only one that was ever able to tell the difference between them.
Kurai generally was the street fighter though Usa-chan could kick ass as well, Keiko only ever dealt with Mujaki. Yusuke honestly didn't understand why everyone thought he and Keiko would hook up, Usa-chan was more his speed. Said blonde drags him out the door after making sure he does enough homework to maintain a C average. The only reason the teachers graded him fairly was the fact that both Usa-chan and his mother had very scary, Yakuza like connections. Then she drags him out the door and buys him breakfast, " You don't have to clean up, Usa-chan. "
" Like you and your ma don't need clean clothes. Plus, your house is a fire death trap, Yusuke. "
The male teen winces as he eats his sweet bun, she had a point with that. " All right, so I may have let it get way bad this time. "
Usagi snorts, " May, Yusuke? "
" Dammit, how is it you an' Keiko are the only ones whom can actually make me feel guilty? " Yusuke mutters as they walk into the school.
The cat, black with a yellow upturned crescent moon on her forehead by the name of Luna frowns as she observes the girl whom had saved her. Why would she willingly hang out with such a ruffian? That was her opinion until she saw him with the boy and then she watches as the girl and her friend both shove the kid out of the way while the girl also manages to shove her friend out of the way as well, " Usagi! "
A petite blonde body lay broken and battered several feet away from him and the kid. Luna's crimson eyes widen in horror, Sailor Moon lay almost dead in the street, " Usagi, dammit, don't you dare die on me! " Yusuke snaps as he rushes over to her, thankfully there was no blood but from what he could see there were several breaks, bruises were already becoming visible, but she was breathing. He hears the sirens in the distance and grabs her schoolbag backing away as the paramedics arrive, he answers their questions and goes in with her, as he was the only one that even gave a damn about her. Luna races off to report to Central Command that Sailor Moon had been critically injured in a hit and run.
Uremeshi Yusuke was barely able to keep himself from pacing in the ER waiting room at Tokyo General Hospital. It was killing him to not be able to do anything for his Usa-chan. His thoughts stutter to a halt, since when had he started thinking of her as his anyhow? Yet here he was, waiting on news about his Usa-chan, one of the few true friends he had, in fact she was a better friend than Keiko because Usa-chan didn't try and change him, Keiko did.
Crown Game Center, Sailor V Game:
" Luna, what do you have to report? "
" The girl whom is to be Sailor Moon has been injured in a hit and run in order to save a young boy and a friend of hers. "
London, England:
Aino Minako and Artemis, a white cat with green eyes and a yellow upturned crescent moon on his forehead look at each other in horror. The hime was injured in a hit and run, why now? " Any idea on her status? "
" I know she was alive, Central, when she was taken in, I came directly here to report this incident. "
Artemis mutes the transmission, " This is bad, whom did she hang out with when you were there last? "
" She had just started hanging out with Uremeshi Yusuke, he saved her from a gang rape, he may seem like your typical punk but, he does have a sense of right and wrong. He's the first one to unconditionally accept our hime, all three personalities and all. " Minako murmurs.
" She'd have likely saved him and some kid then. Acceptance is something that no one will willingly give up. " Artemis states.
" No shit, Sherlock. " Minako mutters.
Artemis sighs and unmutes the transmission, " Luna, the boy is to be trusted as the hime trusts him. Yes, Sailor Moon is the hime, this is just the best way to protect her. Whom would expect the Moon Princess on the battlefield? You must, once she's better, give her the choice, Luna, not just trick her into accepting her destiny, if you do she will resent you forever along with the rest of us. "
Crown Game Center, Sailor V Game:
Luna blinks, " I understand, Central. "
The connection is terminated and Luna sighs, she would have tricked the girl into accepting her destiny. Now though, she knew better, she would explain and give the hime a choice. Hime, Sailor Moon and the hime were one in the same. Then again that should make sense because each senshi was the princess of what she represented, at least for the planetary ones.
Tokyo General Hospital:
" Are you here for Tsukino Usagi? " a doctor asks Yusuke.
" I am, not like her family gives a damn about her, probably learned that when you called them for permission to treat her, right? "
The doctor winces, the boy was right, Usagi's family didn't care but they had given permission for him to treat her, " Well, she's stable but comatose. Thankfully her brainwaves suggest that the coma won't be permanent. "
" Good, she needs to wake up so I can curse her out for being so damn reckless. " Yusuke mutters.
The doctor shakes his head, it wasn't often those Yusuke's age found their true soul mates but, it seemed as though he and Usagi had found each other early. It was sad when only a teenaged boy cared about the state his friend was in and her family didn't, " Can I see her? "
" Not today, check back tomorrow and I will make sure your name is on the visitor's list, Uremeshi-san. "
" I gotcha, think you could call Sarayashiki and tell them she won't be in for a while? " Yusuke asks.
" Wait, she lives in Juuban and goes to Sarayashiki Jr. High? "
" I'm about the only person she trusts, doc. " Yusuke admits, " Well, I gotta go and clean up my home, as Usa pointed out, it's a fire hazard, doesn't help ma's generally drunk, and don't go calling Children's Services, I can handle things just fine. "
The doctor nods at this, Yusuke was well known in the area, generally for sending other kids to the ER but, what most people didn't understand was the fact that he usually didn't start the fights and his mother had had him at fourteen, his age. Atsuko did bring money in and Yusuke was old enough to look after himself. Once Yusuke reached his home he shifts the laundry Usagi had washed into the dryer and starts another load before he steels himself and starts to clean up after his ma, though to be fair some of it was his stuff too. Usagi had been right, he'd let things pile up too much.
His ma was out on a bender again, nothing new there. Thankfully they had enough trash bags to clean the house and clean out the fridge. Once that was done he does just enough homework to maintain a C average and then makes a list of what all they needed from the store. Thankfully he made enough money from Pachinko and extorting people to pay for everything, except beer. His ma had to get her own alcohol as he wasn't old enough to buy it and Usagi had come down on him hard verbally for drinking. She had actually listed out why he shouldn't and given his mom as an example of what he didn't want to be when he grew up. That had actually made an impact on him.
Once he gets all the food and other stuff home and put away he sets to work more seriously on the laundry, managing to get half of it done. Then he makes himself some ramen, eats, and then cleans up before hitting the sack, his mind briefly worrying about Usagi.
