Chapter One – Moving day
Mamoru carried a packing box into his door and placed it on the
ground in the living room; behind him trailed a very excited Usagi,
carrying another packing box.
"I can't believe I'm moving
in today!" she squealed, placing the box on top of the box Mamoru
had placed in the living room. Mamoru chuckled, even though both he
and Usagi knew that eventually they would get married, and have a
daughter together; every little progression in their relationship
seemed to thrill her.
Before he knew it, her arms were around his waist, bringing him into another hug.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" she queried; he loved her
fragile moments as well,
"of course I am" he quipped back,
spinning around to wrap his arms around Usagi and bring her into a
warm, passionate kiss.
"I love you so much odango-sama" he grinned, she broke away from
his embrace and scrunched up her nose,
"you promised you
wouldn't call me that" she protested, he laughed.
"I know,
but some habits are hard to break" he watched as her expression
became softer, although still annoyed.
"That's not all the
way true, the first time we met in the silver millennium was entirely
different" she mused, picking up one of the packing boxes she had
put down,
"the silver millennium, you remember that?" Mamoru
questioned, trailing behind Usagi – he was sure he was the only one
that had memories of the past.
"Well, there are some bits that
are hazy, but for the most part I do" Usagi explained, placing the
box on his bed, as with his eyes he scanned the word 'clothes' on
the side, written in black marker. With a large smirk she faced
him,
"The first time we met in the silver millennium, I was in
the rose gardens, and you came up to me and gave me the most
passionate kiss I had ever felt in my life; my mouth tingled for a
week" she smiled, giggling amongst the words. Mamoru knitted his
eyebrow's in confusion, that was definitely not what he remembered.
"That's not the first time we met Usako, It was on earth,
under a willow tree – you were singing the most beautiful song I
had ever heard in my life – I watched you as you danced, you were
so beautiful" Mamoru grinned, realising Usagi must have forgotten
the detail and knowing he would soon be in for some kind of
waterworks.
"Mamoru, I don't know what you're talking about
– I had never went to earth before that" she spoke calmly, in her
eyes he saw the truth of the words.
"Are you sure?" Mamoru
quipped,
"I'm quite sure Mamoru chan, you were the reason I
first came to earth" she spoke with calmness and sureness that made
him doubt.
He turned away, walking to get another box from his car. He wondered if Usagi was mistaken still, because burnt in his memories, he could still hear the tune of Usagi's first song. The song that had made him first venture all the way to the moon kingdom – risking everything, in hopes of finding his precious Usako.
