Old Fashion.
Summary: The question on Mamoru's mind & in his heart was "who would he pick?" His wife, his best friend, since their school days OR her little sister, the one who had caught his eyes right away & who was doing something for her sister, mother and his mother, something the three women demanded from her and Mamoru.
OKAY I LIED! I AM starting a new story before finishing rewriting WTCW. Don't worry I will finish and post WTCW while working on this story. I just had to get this story idea written. I hope you enjoy. EvaC
Chapter 1
Mamoru glanced to his right then back down at the closed diary that was in his lap. He picked it up and started reading it knowing he shouldn't but he couldn't help himself. Mamoru wanted, no needed to know even more about HER even more after what he had just done to HER.
Dear Diary,
I got you today for my thirteenth birthday and I LOVE IT! Sister told me that since I'm a "Teen" that it was time I started to write down what was on my mind. Anyways, I got so many great things today and one of the best was a necklace from Sister. SHE IS THE BEST sister! I LOVE HER! She doesn't act like the others her age (eighteen) she is nice to me and treats me like I'm her age at times. Usagi
Mamoru smiled a few times on some of the pages he then started to read a few of the pages a little fast finding something's boring until one entry caught his eyes so he read it a little slower.
Dear Diary,
Sister is going off to college today. Mama is crying and Dad is proud. He keeps looking at me and telling me that I will need to study harder so I can go to college just like Sister. But I don't want to go to college I want to get married and have kids. But I won't tell him its best that no one else knows. I don't want anyone to pick and make fun of me if they knew. Usagi
Mamoru glanced at the clock then back down at the diary again flipping pages until some that caught his eyes made him stop and read them.
Dear Diary,
Sister wrote me again and told me about some guy that is at her college also. I guess they were in high school together and he is a year older then her, she wrote. I am happy for now she isn't alone and doesn't know anyone since she does know him. I guess it's good that she has an old friend there now. Usagi
Dear Diary,
Another year is gone and I'm looking forward to the next one. Soon summer will be here and Sister will be home during her break. I CAN"T WAIT! She didn't come home at Christmas saying how she was going to go with some girl friends to their homes. I missed her at Christmas and I know Mama did also. But Dad said that Sister was growing up and she needs to have time to herself. That might be true but I was still sad. Usagi
Mamoru paused and looked to his right again then back at the diary as he decided to keep skipping some pages just looking for any that had his name on them. For some reason he wanted to read what she might have written about him. Mamoru knew that Usagi had to have written about him at some point. They had known each other for awhile now.
His smile returned when he finally found the first page with his name on it.
Dear Diary,
TODAY WAS HORRABLE! And it shouldn't have been! Today is MY Birthday, MY Fourteenth and Sister brought home that GUY friend of hers from high school and now college. HIS name is MAMORU CHIBA and he is so mean! Usagi
Dear Diary,
I'm so sorry about yesterday and not telling you about MY DAY! It got ruined by that MAN! Anyways I will not write about that CRAZY PERSON at the moment. I got some Manga's the ones I have been wanting from Sister! LOVE HER! Of course I got clothes from Mama and from Dad I got some money again. AND of course he told me to save it like always. BORING. Even that CRAZY MAN gave me some money telling me how he didn't know it was my birthday and he didn't have a gift for me so he gave me money also… That was nice. Usagi
Dear Diary,
That crazyBAKA keeps bothering me so I haven't been able to write in you for awhile. HE is always picking on me about everything! I could be minding my own business and HE will start! I wish Sister wouldn't have brought HIM home to meet the family. HE is EVIL I tell you! EVIL! I can't wait for HIM to leave. Taking up my time with Sister. EVIL! Usagi
Dear Diary,
They are finally leaving and YES I will miss Sister but not HIM! I hope HE jumps in a cold river and gets really sick! The JERK was always picking on me! DIE BAKA MAMORU DIE! Usagi
Mamoru started skipping pages again wanting to find more on him.
Dear Diary,
Can you believe it? I can't! I can't believe that my stupid Sister brought that JERK home with her AGAIN and during MY vacation! How dare he call me those names and make fun of my hair AGAIN. OH I HATE THAT BAKA MAMORU CHIBA! I don't know why Sister likes him so much. "He's a great guy! He's so sweet" …Hold on I almost threw up in my mouth…Okay…. She always says…. great my butt! Yeah a great pain the neck! Usagi
Dear Diary,
It has now been a year that my life has been changed since sister brought that BAKA to the house and introduced him to the family. HOW CAN MY PARENTS LIKE HIM? I mean I kind of understand sister since Mamoru is kind of cute…..Can't anyone but me see that Mamoru is a demon well maybe not a demon….. But he works for the devil! YES the devil's right hand man is who BAKA Mamoru is! Always picking on me! One of these days I'm going to get him! Usagi
Dear Diary,
HEE HEE Today I got Mamoru and it was soooooo funny! When he was in the shower I smart person that I am…..well Diary I went and put PINK hair dye in his shampoo earlier and when he washed his hair…HA HA HA HA he looked like a pink Easter bunny! I AM SO GOOD! Of course I got into trouble and Mama made me do everything that Mamoru said for a day as punishment. But since the dye would wash out fast all I had to do was clean his room and his clothes even had to iron them! Then to top that off I had to do all the dishes. AND I HATE WASHING DISHES! My poor hands will be red forever I just know it! Poor Me… The thing that kind of surprised me was that Mamoru wasn't mad at me. He only watched me and if we made eye contact he would smile at me. I'm kind of scared wondering what he will do to get back at me. Usagi
Dear Diary,
HA HA! I guess BAKA Mamoru isn't smart like me because he hasn't gotten back at me for the hair thing a few days ago. I guess I out smarted him or maybe he's really scared of me. I hope he is sleeping with one eye open because I will get him when he sleeps if he DOES do something to me. Usagi
Dear Diary,
BAKA MAMORU had the nerve to tell ME not to cut MY hair! I yelled at him to leave me alone and not to worry about my hair. And when I went to walk away Mamoru had the nerve to grab my arm to stop me and then the BAKA pulled me to him and told me again not to cut my hair. I slapped his hand and he let my arm go and then I told him that I could cut it just like sister if I wanted. I told him to go and find his "girlfriend" and to leave me alone. I then ran off while he watched me…I didn't cut my hair like Sister did. She has hers so short now…..It does look good on her but its TOOOOOOO SHORT! (hee hee) makes her look like a boy I said. She only smiled at me then left the bathroom. I smiled back and turned around and saw BAKA looking at Sister and then me looking at me the longest. HE wasn't smiling. He is stupid. I think that if Haruka wants her hair short then more power to her! Usagi
Dear Diary,
Sister and that BAKA finally left, now the house is all mine! AND I still have two weeks left of vacation! Well I have to be here with Mama and Dad but at least HE is gone. Oh school starts soon and I can't wait to see all the new cute BOYS! Minako (one of my best friends) and Makoto (another one!) told me that they have made a chart for us to fill out so we can each keep track of which boys are the best and which ones we want to date. Ami (another one!) at first told us we shouldn't judge the boys but she changed her mind when we took her to the arcade and introduced her to the cute arcade guy. I SAW Ami checking out his behind also. OH I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL! And the best part of all is Rei (Our newest best friend) will be at our school also this year! YEAH me and my four best friends all together! Fun times are coming! Usagi
Mamoru who was smiling frowned then started flipping pages again until another entry caught his eyes.
Dear Diary,
School is boring…..but fun with my friends. But none of the boys are worth talking or spending any time with. They act so childish! I have decided that I need an older guy not real old but older then these little baby boys here….. I will never find a guy like HIM! Well maybe that cute arcade guy but I heard he has a girlfriend also Ami and Makoto both like him so I will let them have him. Usagi
Mamoru smiled again while he looked down to his right again.
Dear Diary,
OH MY GOOOODDDD! THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED! I can't believe it! That stupid BAKA asked Haruka to marry him AND she said YES. I just realized that she is stupid. I always thought Haruka was smarter then that. I guess not. See what going to college does to you, it makes you stupid. I told Dad that during dinner but he just glared at me then told me to eat my dinner and Mama only laughed when I said that….The only good thing…. I guess…. is that Mamoru will be part of the family and I will get to see him more now that they are both done with college and they both got a job here in town. Sister will be moving back home (YEA!) until Mamoru can find them a place. I guess his parents don't live far from our town. It will be nice to see him more. OH NO DID I JUST WRITE THAT? Forget it! I don't want him in the family…. IT'S NOT FAIR! Usagi
Dear Diary,
Today I had to stand for five hundred hours wearing a stupid dress that Mama and sister want me to wear in the wedding. They both did agree that I looked good in the dress and Haruka started picking on me that I would have to hide behind her or I would still her spotlight. Hee hee. That made me happy until Haruka went and said how happy she was that I would be BAKA's little sister. I. WILL. NOT. I REPEAT! I WILL NOT BE THAT CRAZY MAN'S LITTLE SISTER EVER! Do you hear me? NEVER! …... HE came into the room while I had to stand there, FOREVER, and he just stood there looking at me. I thought for sure Mamoru would pick on me or say something mean but he didn't. Mamoru just looked at me with a look I had never seen before on anyone's eyes. It kind of made me feel weird. I just don't understand that CRAZY FOOL. Usagi
Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I just haven't been in the mood. I'm sad. Usagi
Dear Diary,
I'm so very sad today and I don't know why. I don't even feel like writing but I will. Haruka and Mamoru got married today. I should be happy but I'm not. I feel like crying and I don't know why? To me everyone was in a bad mood today. Dad and Mamoru's dad only seemed to be talking about business and Mama and Mamoru's mom just gossiped about everything. Haruka was acting strange also. She and Mama both yelled at me when I was signing my name as a witness. Haruka wanted me to sign it. Then when I was signing it they got to arguing about something. I still don't know why! I don't understand any of them…And Mamoru was the worst…I think he is mad because when he went to kiss Haruka she turned her head just a tiny bit ( I saw I was standing right beside her) and he ended up kissing her on the cheek right by her mouth but not on the mouth. Then during the reception she hung out with her friends. SHE HAD ME DANCE WITH HIM more then once. The only dance Haruka danced with Mamoru was the first one. Very strange. The only good thing was that the cake was great AND I caught the flowers when Sister threw them...I should be happy but I feel like my heart…. is breaking. WHY? Usagi
Dear Diary,
Baka Mamoru isn't that bad I guess. He has started to help me with my school work since Dad asked him to. (AND SURPRISE SURPRISE That BAKA is smart!) "Heaven forbid I don't go to college!" Papa said the other night at dinner AND Mama agreed! I thought she was on my side. Boo hoo see me crying diary. Poor Me. Usagi
Dear Diary,
I hope I find a guy like HIM! Sister was right Mamoru isn't that bad. Usagi
Dear Diary,
Haruka is acting funny with me and with Mamoru. Well I shouldn't say she is acting funny with me because now that I think about it she is acting the same with me. If anything she doesn't talk to me like she did before. I have noticed that she wouldn't let Mamoru hug her any more. She also goes out without him it seems because he's been over at the house without her more now. He comes over and hangs out with Dad and watches the games or the news with him. He even stays late. Mamoru will even talk to me and in a nice way….. OH I better be careful I don't trust him!... Don't tell anyone Diary but I heard THEM fighting the other evening. I guess Haruka was going out to a party and Mamoru didn't want to go and he asked her not to go. But Haruka said she couldn't stay at home being bored. After she left the house I could tell Mamoru was upset before he left out and went home I guess alone. When I went over that next morning (Saturday) he was alone and very silent as he helped me with my report…. I wonder if they are having problems. That would be sad this early in their marriage. Personally I don't think Haruka should have gotten married. For one, I never thought she was the marrying type and two, I don't remember her ever having a boyfriend while growing up she always hung with other girls. Yes now that I think about it, Mamoru is really her first real guy friend. I really don't know if she ever had any other guys. Oh well I'm not going to think about it anymore my phone is ringing. Usagi
Mamoru sighed and looked to the wall then back down at the diary. He smiled now and then at some of the things she wrote about him helping her study. Again he skipped the pages that didn't have his name or anything about him on them.
Dear Diary,
I CAN'T BELIVE IT!
HE!….KISSED!…..ME!…ON!…..THE!….LIPS!…..
HE even put his tongue in my mouth!
IT happened the other night during the New Years Party Mama and Dad had. And I got to stay up LATE for it this time. BORING at first until…..OH why did it have to be HIM of all people to take my FIRST KISS! I should go and cut Mamoru with a knife…but I can't and I won't. I LOVE ONLY HIM! Don't Tell Anyone I wrote that! Usagi
Dear Diary,
I forgot to tell about THAT kiss yesterday to you. I am finally over my shock a little and can write. Well it happened like this. We were all at the party and I got bored so I went outside. Adults are sooooo boring! Anyways I was outside minding my own business when HE showed up beside me. Before I could tell him to leave me alone Mamoru placed his jacket over my bare shoulders, I had the cutest light green dress on that had spaghetti strips, If I do say so myself I LOOKED GREAT! Any ways Mamoru put the jacket on me while telling me that I would get sick if I didn't watch out. I looked up at him and saw him smiling so for some reason I only smiled and shyly whispered thanks… I watched Mamoru out of the corner of my eye while he took a drink from his beer bottle. Catching my eyes looking at him he smiled again. I never noticed until that moment what a beautiful smile he really has. Now I kind of understand why sister likes him and married him… Mamoru surprised me when he told me that I looked nice in the dress. Surprised me so much that I didn't answer but I know that I was blushing some… We both stood there looking at each other then we both looked at the same time to the house when we heard everyone counting down the numbers to midnight. When they hit twelve I suddenly found Mamoru in my face AND KISSING ME! ON the lips! AND it wasn't a fast kiss!...I don't remember everything but I do remember being in his arms as his lips moved from mine and I remember him looking at me and then to the side when we both heard Haruka calling for him….. She joined us and pulled me from Mamoru's arms and was hugging me and telling me happy New Year. She then let me go and hugged Mamoru who hugged her back but looked at me the whole time….. What happened next was really weird. I went to turn around so they could kiss but saw sister turn her head when Mamoru went to kiss her and he ended up kissing her on her cheek. Haruka laughed then ran off from him dragging me by the hand. Mamoru followed us into the house and I was worried that she saw him kissing me and would say something to me. But Haruka seeing some of her friends took off and went to them… I looked at Mama when she said that it was time for me to go to bed. I looked at her and went up the stairs I guess I was in shock. Before I went into my room I was stopped by Mamoru who only removed his jacket from my shoulders gave me a kiss on the head and then told me good night…. BELIEVE ME I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL THAT NIGHT! Usagi
Mamoru closed Usagi's diary and placed it back on the bedside table. He looked over to his right and smiled as he looked down at Usagi who was sleeping soundly beside him in his bed as he remembered that first kiss he had given her.
Mamoru moved lower in the bed and pulled the blanket up so Usagi's bare shoulder was covered better. He smiled when he heard Usagi mumble his name in her sleep. Mamoru lay back on his pillow and looked up at the ceiling and thought about his wife wondering what Haruka was up to.
Mamoru looked at Usagi again and started wondering how many times he would have to sleep with her, not that he minded, until she got pregnant with the baby that his wife, mother and mother-in-law wanted and demanded from him and Usagi. Having to do it the "old fashion" way since his father and father-in-law were too cheap to spend the money at the doctors for Usagi to get artificial inseminated.
To be continued.
