Have you ever had anyone in your life where to the outside world you hated their guts, but deep down just them being
there meant the world to you? When they're gone you feel this emptiness in your heart and no matter what you do there's
nothing you can do that can fill the void. You miss them calling you names so much that you pretend that they're around every
corner just waiting to pick on you. This is how I'm felt about a very special gentleman, Mamoru Chiba. For as long as I've
know him I have loved him with every ounce of my soul. I love it when he calls me Odango Atama. It would send shivers up
and down my spine. But back to the real world, before I trip again. I don't think my boss would like it too much if I came to
work wearing another muddy dress suit. As of next Thursday I'll be 24 and still single, just waiting for Mamoru to come back
into my life.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At Rei's apartment a very mopy Usagi sat on the couch thinking of Mamoru once again. Ami, Mokoto, and Rei all knew what was
on their dear friends mind and they all feared that he would end up being her demise. She maybe only 24 but if you looked
deep into her eyes she looked so much older. Years of pain and tears started to show through even her make-up. Ami's doctor
instincts kicked in every time she saw Usagi like this, hoping she was never pushed to the edge.
"Odango, you're day dreaming of him again, aren't you?"
"No. I'm dreaming of a huge pile of vegetables that I just want to dive into and eat, Rei."
"Well excuse me Miss love-struck-but-was-too-stupid-to-say-anything-when- she-had-the-chance! But, NO . you just had to let
Mamoru walk out of your life without fighting for him!" Rei jumped up at this and started to pace around the apartment, waiting
for Usagi's response.
"Guys knock it off! Rei leave her alone about him. Every time we get together you have to rub it in her face." Ami said while rubbing
her temples.
*I'm so tired of them fighting like this.*
"Can't we go ONE day without you two bickering or shoving stupid stuff into each others faces! Just one day, that's all I ask for.
One day where I can go home with out a headache and I'm sure Motoko would agree with me."
"Thanks Ami but she's right. I should have told him but I chickened out just like I always do when it comes to things that mean a lot
to me. Now, I don't know where he is, or if he's married, or." Usagi's head dropped down onto her hands as she try to hold the tears in.
Then all of a sudden a beautiful hurricane named Minako stormed in.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHO JUST CAME BACK INTO TOWN DEMANDING TO SEE YOU USAGI!!!!"
"What are you talking about Minako? Who in their right mind would demand to see her? Besides."
Silence for who knows how long; hours, days, years. More like a couple of minutes. I like to over exaggerate. Usagi's eyes glassed
over and she looked like she was about to faint.
"It can't be. when he left he said he was never coming back because it hurt too much to be here..." Usagi's mind not knowing what
to do as her heart was trying to jump out of her chest for joy. Tears started to spill from her eyes.
"Usa he's at Crown Arcade waiting for you." Minako then sat down next to her dear but delicate friend and put an arm around
her shoulders.
"Do you know the real reason her left?"
"He said something about family and his heart always hurting."
"That's not why he left, well the heart part is true. He told me the real reason, but asked me to never tell you until now."
"HE TOLD YOU THE REAL REASON AND YOU, WHO CLAIM TO BE MY BEST FRIEND, NEVER TOLD ME!!!!" Usagi screeched at
the top of her lungs while flinging Minako's arm off of her.
"Usa calm down before you have a heart attack. He left because he thought you didn't love him. He wanted to share his heart and
life with you but he thought that you would never return the feelings."
At that Usagi ran out of Rei's cozy apartment, tears running down her cheeks.
*He loves me. All this time I was right. This is all my fault! How can I face him knowing that I'm the true reason he left? He's been
gone for 7 long years because I couldn't tell him that I love him. But. he never shared with me his true feelings with me either. He
would just brush me away like I was a nuisance and always looked at me with disdain but there was something else in his eyes, could
it have been love? The jerk! If it is true he could of told me so easily 'Usagi, I love you' and I would have melted into his arms. WHY?
Why can't things ever be easy?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On the other side of town Mamoru sat nervously waiting for his one and only love to walk in through the doors so he could declare his love
for her, sweep her off her feet, and spend the rest of his life making up for the 7 years they lost to his stupidity.
*I sure do hope Minako has found my Usako and she's taking the news well. I know how much she hated me.and possibly still does.*
"Mamoru. Is that you?"
"Hey. Motoki."
"When did you get back into Tokyo? And I thought you said you were never coming back here for any reason. So what was the change of
heart over?"
"Um. Well. uh."
"Well I'm waiting. Considering I'm your best friend, you owe me an explanation." Andrew then gave Mamoru one of those cold glares that
could make a marine flinch and cry like a little girl.
"You know the reason I gave everyone for leaving?"
"Yeah."
"Well, forget I said that. The truth is that I left because of a little imp that I used to pick on but fell in love with."
Mamoru closed his eyes and scrunched up his face, just waiting for Motoki to explode. He knew his long time friend thought of her as his
little sister and treated her like it.
"About time that you fessed up to your feelings for her. And lift your jaw off the counter, it's bad for business."
"Y. You. You don't care?"
"No. I've known you that you've loved her since the first time you laid your eyes on her."
"But how could you know."
"The look in your eyes gave you away every day. They said it all and then some. You used to look at her like she was the greatest treasure in
the world. You protected her from everything and made sure that no guy came within 100 feet of her. Pity both of you guys are chickens."
"What do you mean 'Both' of us?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself, Chicken."
At that the most beautiful creature burst in through the doors looking like she was going to kill the first thing she ran in to.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Usagi continued to run, rage fueling her. It wasn't too often that she got past her laziness to run. She hated exercise but this was different.
She had to get to her Mamoru. So she could rip his head off. Then kiss him and hope that they could finally be together like they both wanted
to be so badly. Usagi stopped dead in her tracks trying to get her bearings.
"Damn it!!!! We're both baka's!!!! Shit! I almost went the wrong way. Why do I have to be so stupid!"
She then took off in the other direction with one extremely handsome man on her mind whom she also wanted on top of her body. Seeing the
arcade just feet away from her the rage returned making her storm in through the doors.
"Mamoru, you jerk!"
"Usako!"
"How could you not tell me the truth?!? I've spent the last 7 years beating myself up over this and what do you do? You just prance right back
into my life thinking you can claim my heart. Well you have another thing coming. If you want me you're going to have to re-win my heart and if
you mess up there's no turning back!"
A dumbfounded Mamoru just sat there. He had no idea of what to say to this goddess who had haunted each and every one of his dreams for too
long. It had make him one very sexually frustrated man.
"Usa. I. um. I love you."
"You think just saying that is going to win me over? ARRRRRGGGGGG!!!! You told Minako how you felt but oh no you could never share it with me.
You self centered egotistical jerk!"
Without another word she ran out just as quickly as she had come in.
"Motoki you have to help me with this one. I'll do anything to win her and to put that beautiful smile back on her face."
"Only on one condition.the girls have to help."
"DEAL."
