Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own this.

Inside the twisted steel of the automobile two minds were filled with questions. However, dead silence hung in the air. Neither knew how to ask the other. Leo's eyes were on the road. Usagi's eyes were on her hero, Leo. Her cerulean eyes were indifferent. Here face was twisted into an _expression that revealed nervousness. She had taking a liking to him. She had questions for him. Like how did he dodge those bullets and how did he heal all those wounds.

Luna's eyes were narrowed. She was excited at the idea of having another on their side but her instincts told her to be wary of this man. There had to be more to the story. He was too quiet. Even for Luna. Usagi's never ending words became a nuisance but this man's silence intrigued and scared Luna.

Usagi began to gather her courage. She had to ask him. She opened her mouth but the words wouldn't come.

"How did you move so fast?" Luna asked.

"… I just can." Leo said, apparently not shocked by the cat's ability to speak.

"You knew?" Usagi asked, shocked of how calm Leo was being with a strange talking cat.

"… Yeah." Leo confessed pulling the car over. Usagi peered outside her window. They were in front of her house. "How did you know I live here?" Usagi asked raising a brow.

Leo's lips were sealed. He couldn't tell her about his ability to read minds. He probed Usagi's mind for the answer to his questions about his common adrenaline rushes whenever they were near but it yielded know answers. "Goodnight." Leo simply said making the doors ascend. Luna leapt out the car happy to be home. Usagi climbed out the car when she was halted by Leo's voice. "Wait." He called. Leo climbed into the passengers seat. "What?" Usagi asked. Leo's hand slid onto her cheek.

His warm hands soon became cold and frosty. Usagi's skin shivered from his touch. Not knowing the sensation and frightened by it, Usagi turned away and ran into her house.

She slammed the door eager to keep his icy hands away from her. "Usagi." Luna called leaping through the window. "Your bruise. It's gone." Luna smiled. Usagi dug into her purse and retrieved a mirror. She looked into it and stared at her flawless face. (I so have a crush on him now) She thought as she closed her eyes quenching her desire for rest.

A sharp ring awoke Usagi the next morning. Usagi cracked heeyelids open. Heavy bass knocked on her window. Some jerk had chose to blast his music at this time in the morning. Usagi yawned, the ringing still in her ears. Usagi scooped up her communicator. Rei's face lay on the screen. Her face was screwed into anger and impatience. "What's up, Rei?" Usagi yawned heavily.

Rei looked up at Usagi. She had been paging Usagi for the last thirty minutes. Rei sighed. she didn't want to scold Usagi for sleeping late. This was Usagi's last day to do that. In a voice so calm it sounded creepy, Rei asked, "Are you ready?"

Usagi searched the depths of her brain. She knew she had forgotten something important. Her memory crawled to her as hard as it could. Realizing it had no chance to reach Usagi the memory stopped. Knowing she would sound like a flake, Usagi asked, "Ready for what?"

"Usagi, you are such a flake. We're going back to school shopping in thirty minutes. Usagi pulled her eyes wide as shock ran up her spine. The first day of school was tomorrow and she had not even bought her uniform. "I'll see ya there." Usagi said quickly. Usagi dressed herself as fast as possible. She couldn't be late. The mall would be swarming like the rush hour.

"Damn." Usagi muttered falling on her bed. Luna snoozed next to her. Usagi groaned. She was ready to go. She was dressed and everything but could she make it in five minutes. The mall was a mile away. There was no way she could get there unless she had a S on her chest and her name was Superman. The bass knocked on her window again. She plopped out of bed and marched to her window. Her thoughts weren't twisted in confusion or nervousness. She knew what she was about to do. Usagi threw open the window, ready to tell the distributor of the music what an ass they were. The bass was so strong Usagi could feel the glass on her window trembling. Her eyes scoped the block and in her crosshairs a car rested. The car was foreign. It was sleek and silver. A man stood in front of the passenger's door. He wore a long pearl white leather coat over a black T-shirt and jeans. His long platinum hair had been pulled back into a ponytail. His hybrid eyes were shut and his head bouncing to the beat. Usagi smiled at the sight of Leo. Hopefully, he would give her a ride. Usagi hoped he would say no. She wanted to use her "powers of persuasion" to make him see things her way. She pulled her jacket on and ran outside as fast as her legs would allow. The bass held her back as she walked to him.

"Hey Leo!" She yelled over the music. One of Leo's eyelids rolled open. He retrieved a remote from his pocket and killed the music. "…Hey." He said.

Usagi smiled at him. She was hoping to ask him but didn't know how. After all, she just met him a few hours ago.

"What do you want?" He asked, blinking both his eyes open.

"Can you take me to the mall?" She asked hoping he would say no.

"Alright." Leo said dropping his arms.

Usagi looked down at her watch. "Two more minutes." She muttered. Usagi knew it was impossible for her to make it now. Rei and the others wouldn't scold her if they saw her escort. Rei maybe. But the others would want details on the ride there.

"We can make it." Leo said stretching his arms. "Hang on" He said.

Before Usagi could finish saying, "What?" the street appeared as a blur to her. Wind whistled in her ears. The world around her was a spectrum of colors. Usagi's feet didn't touch the ground. She sat in Leo's arms as he ran to the mall. As quick as it started the spectrum vanished. The world revolved around her brain. Dizzy from the speed she stumbled trying to collect herself. The dizziness leaving her she looked back at Leo.

Not worrying how rude she sounded, Usagi asked, "What are you?"

Leo looked at her, "…You tell me."

A thought poked at her brain constantly. She probably could extract no truth from him but she had to ask. "Why? Why me?"

A normal person would want to know what she was talking about but Leo wasn't a normal person. He could read a person's thoughts from a mile away. He knew a lot, too much maybe. Leo thought for a second. He wasn't sure himself. He had showed her too much; enough to land him inside a tank at the CIA Headquarters. The thought of being poked and pricked daily by a team of scientists made his body shiver.

"Why?" Usagi asked again.

Leo looked at her. Her cerulean eyes were on his. There was something about her that made him say, "…I trust you." With those words said he walked away. "Bye Serenity." He said as he walked to the malls exit pass the gawking friends of the girl he just called Serenity. Why he called her that he had no idea.
