76: Family

Words: 184

Usagi sat around the packed table, laughing with the rest of her family and friends. She looked around, seeing Ami and her mother laughing with Minako and her parents. Rei and her grandfather were having a heated debate with Motoki and her father. She couldn't help but love moments like this.

It was their monthly family dinner, one that she'd suggested only 5 months ago, and now it had stuck with all of them. They had really become so much closer since they'd been doing these. She loved getting to know everyone, and seeing the relationships grow.

But something didn't seem right to her. She felt like someone was missing. Every chair seemed to be filled, but one. Looking at the table once more, seeing that everyone was there who was suppose to be. But she couldn't help by feel like someone else should have been here.

'Like Mamoru?'

Never, he was a jerk. He wouldn't have enjoyed this, would he?

Nah, she wasn't going to think about it.

She spent the rest of the meal looking at the empty chair at the table.
