Oh, a new ficcie by me- scary thought.  This is another A/U, though this one has very little of the SM 'verse in it.  Only the characters, and a little of the magic are canon.  Enjoy!

Dance as if noone is watching

Love as if you've never been hurt

Sing as if noone can hear

And live as if heaven is on earth

The group of girls in front her were laughing happily, as they rested and drank from the small stream.  The surrounding feel of the giant trees made this small clearing a peaceful spot, and Usagi was almost angry that some Uptown strangers were disrupting her spot.  But she couldn't truly call it her spot, because this park was a public one.

                Still, she seethed.  This was the only park open to those from Zetsubo, the poorest district of Neo-Tokyo.  There were only four in total, but the limits of the city were strained at best.  With outside conditions so unstable, no one left the relative safety of the mega-city.  The threat of World War Four was a very real one, and already there was tension that was increasing daily.

                Her step-father had sent her here to take a break, however short it was.  She had found this spot years ago, with her best friend, Demando.  They had, in youthful excitement, declared it as theirs.  They returned to it often, escaping the bustling town they had both grown up in.

                In anger, Usagi pulled out her ID verifier, checking the identities of these seven girls.  Every single person alive had an Id, a small piece of metal embedded in their wrist that would immediately identify them.  When the results scrolled across the small flat-screen, she nearly growled out loud.  Stupid Seimei twinks, she thought, glaring at the girls who were completely oblivious to her watching.  She despised anyone from the better districts, as she had always been part of Zetsubo, and was always discriminated because of that.  Seimei was the highest of all the districts, the residences of all the richest of Tokyo, and usually the snobbiest.

                Usagi continued to glare daggers at the giggling group, until they moved on, leaving Usagi alone.  She entered the clearing, checking to make sure the girls had not disturbed her spot.  When all was fine, she flopped down beside her tree, drinking in the calmness of the forest.  She had so much to think about, and her mind was buzzing with it all.

                Usagi's mother owned an inn, one of the more prosperous, in the Zetsubo district of Neo-Tokyo.  Usagi and her step-father helped run it, with Usagi pulling in extra money to help.  Usagi, or Bunny as was her "official" name, was a technical genius, good at anything to do with computers, and also one of the few from Zetsubo who could do computer repairs, and cheaply.  New-Tokyo, like all of the mega-cities, ran on electricity for nearly everything.  The technology that ran the city was highly advanced, and Bunny specialized in hacking, using her skills to make her life and those of the ones who paid best easier.  The pay was good, and nearly all of what she earned went to her mother's inn.

                Knowing that the lunch rush would begin soon, Usagi left the clearing.  But before she left, she filled her bottle with water from the small stream.  The water was the best tasting she had ever drunk, compared to the recycled water that came out of taps in Zetsubo.

"Tai?" she cried, pushing open the door, "I'm back!"  Taiyo looked up from where he was preparing for the lunch crowds, and smiled at her.

                "Buns!" he greeted.  Taiyo was one of the nicest men she had ever met, and was even nicer to her mother.  Technically, Taiyo and Iria, Bunny's mother, were not married, but the current lack of priests was something that could not be helped.  In any case, marriage ceremonies were considered trivialities with the rest of the world's troubles, and Bunny called him her father anyways.  Her true father had died long ago.  "Did you have a good time?"

                She sat down ungracefully on one of the stools in front of the bar.  "Yes, of course.  I always do.  But there were some stupid Seimei twinks there today."  She glared at nothing, expressing her distaste of Seimei.  "Did anyone come by?" she asked, completely changing to subject.

                "No, there were no calls for your services, Buns.  Although, there is someone else you may wish to see," Tai gestured behind her, at a shadowed form in the corner.

                Bunny saw a glint of silver hair, and black eyes as the person lifted their face to see her.  "Demando!" she cried, jumping off the stool, throwing herself at him, barely giving him enough time to stand up.  "You're back!"

                "Yes, Usako, I am back.  I missed you," he said, hugging her tightly.  "And I'll be here for a couple of months, at least.  I already rented a room from your mother."

                Bunny smiled into his shirt, then turning her face to look at him.  "That's great!  I have been so worried, especially with all this talk about another war..."  Her eyes reflected her worry for him.

                "We will stay away from the fighting, Buns.  We will not leave you or Iria," Taiyo promised.  Her mother went to stand with him, and the devotion the two had for each other shone through hardships of life as they knew it.

                "Someday," Bunny whispered, "I want to have someone like that for me."

                Unknown to her, Demando was watching her intently, hoping in his heart to be that one to her.

Confusing?  I know!  Please let me know what (else) you think about this.  I need to know whether or not to continue it.  FYI, seimei means life, zetsubo means despair.  The idea came to me while watching Metropolis, so keep your mind open for this one. 
And no mamo-baka.  Yet.  Maybe.  Sorry, Mamo-baka fan's.
