Hello all! Here is another chapter for everyone to read and I do hope you enjoy. ; )

Chapter 10

The Chiba limousine with a car leading the way and another following behind the limo arrived at the private school with no fan fair. Daiki Chiba was a smart man and knew that the extra hour arrival would be to their benefit. It gave Usagi a chance to see the buildings and to meet the staff away from other students.

Usagi who had never seen such a school for younger children was shocked by how the place appeared. It reminded her of the Ivy League college she had gone to once with her grandparents. She wondered how much tuition was as she stole a glance in Daiki's direction.

Daiki stayed with his two charges until Mamoru's classmates arrived and were lined up standing in front of the teachers and the two the man was taking care of. He stayed in the shadows and watched the two best friends standing with perfect posture, side by side, in their matching school uniforms which matched the other students with the only difference being that Mamoru and Usagi were wearing matching light green shirts unlike the other students whose shirts were white.

As he looked at Usagi, Daiki wondered if she would be fine there at the school. She had been quiet as they had walked the halls and it worried him making him hope he wouldn't get a call on her. He hated getting calls when they weren't worth his time.

Daiki sighed knowing he would deal with a call if it came. He then nodded to his personal guard then walked away with the knowledge that there were six guards stationed at the school and those guards were already in their spots and no one would be getting in Mamoru's classroom that didn't belong.

As he left the building, all of the children in the area where Mamoru's class stood in rolls listening to Mr. Muir speak only Usagi was the calmest one, for Mamoru was excited that everyone had to stand there in the heat while he and Usagi were up on the platform under the shade with the teachers. His classmates were trying their best to look around the child in front of them to get a look at Usagi. The ones in the back wishing they were in the front. Usagi looked to the windows not surprised to see people looking out them.

Mamoru's smile shone brightly while standing beside Usagi in front of his class, facing the students as they all watched Usagi, who stood there keeping Mamoru's hand in hers. She never had any trouble with being singled out and was never afraid of being in front of a crowd. But this felt different more eyes were on her this time. Usagi wondered if the students were the curious ones or if it was their parents wanting them to find out about her.

As her eyes looked back to each student, she kept the silent laugh to herself while thinking of how easy it would be for her to rule over all of them if she was that way. She right away spotted Minako and Jadeite taking notes that Minako looked upset and Jadeite just stood there looking around Kunzite to look at her.

"And in closing the other teachers and I expect you to treat Usagi with the respect that you treat each other. If we have any disrespect we will deal with you personally. Remember students, Usagi is as normal a girl as the others." Mr. Muir said finally closing the speech he had spent the night rehearsing.

"Yes Sensei!" The crowd of students called out in unison as they each bowed.

"Very nice….Class, go to our classroom and get into your seats." Mr. Muir then said before turning to his assistant to say something to the woman.

Mamoru and Usagi continued to stand in their spots as they watched the other students walking out each wishing that they could have walked past the platform. They mumbled to the other each trying to figure out why Mr. Muir didn't have Usagi tell about herself. He always did in the past with other new students.

Mr. Muir turned to the two after the other teachers had left the area. Mamoru noticed the man first and turned to face him.

"Don't forget Mr. Muir that my Uncle said that Usagi is to be by my side always." The boy said looking up at his teacher.

"Yes Mamoru I remember." Mr. Muir said with a smile knowing he was the only teacher who could deal with Mamoru's spoiled ways. He had dealt with the boy's Uncle when the man had been in his class so Mamoru's actions were nothing new.

"Okay you two, the other students are in their seats so let us join them. Mamoru, per your Uncles orders, we have given you a bigger desk and two chairs."

"Thank you Mr. Muir." Usagi answered for her friend as she and Mamoru followed in Mr. Muir's steps.

"Don't you worry Usa my desk is near Mr. Muir's and I will sit in front of the others so they can't really see you. We will deal with the group when we have to join them. We get into our groups in the afternoon hours." Mamoru whispered.

"All right if that is what you would like."Usagi answered as her eyes once more took in the sights of the school hallways.

After they had arrived that morning and was given a tour of the place, Usagi had memorized every room and hallway. If given another hour she would have each of the staff members, in the entire school, names down. She stopped walking when Mamoru and Mr. Muir did.

Mr. Muir turned to look at his newest student and gave a grin since the girl was politely looking towards him waiting.

"Welcome to my classroom." Mr. Muir stated before opening the door and pushing it open allowing Usagi to look in to the room once more.

She had been shown it earlier but now the students and teachers were all in their places just waiting for the new student to arrive.

Mamoru placed Usagi's arm into the crock of his arm and escorted her into the silent room heading to his desk which was right near Mr. Muir's own desk just as Mamoru told. The heels of their shoes tapped as they walked past the staring group of children who not only followed the two with their eyes but moved their heads in unison. The teachers were more discreet and only allowed their eyes to follow.

Mamoru sat down first with Usagi glancing around once more before sitting down beside him deep down being glad that Mamoru was in front of her which meant he was closer to the students nearest his area. She looked to the right and spotted Mr. Muir's desk which was in a corner sideways cattycorner, so there were no students on that side just the wall with a window. Usagi had hoped to have been able to see Minako and Jadeite to observe them but they were within her eyesight.

"Eyes forward class." Mr. Muir announced as he stepped into the classroom closing the door behind him as he walked to the front where the boards were.

Soon Usagi was half forgotten as the students started their lessons. While Mr. Muir and the other teachers were lecturing, Usagi watched the others and right away could tell which students were the smartest and which students the teachers liked more and she noticed which students like which teacher the most.

Usagi looked to the papers that were sitting in front of her having been placed there after Mamoru's by one of the teachers. Mamoru had sighed after noticing they had math problems on them and not any type of math problems but they were all word math problem.

She watched Mr. Muir coming in and out of the room leaving his assistant in charge and noticed how the other teachers didn't go near Mamoru's desk. Her head moved back and forth after she spotted the answer Mamoru put down for a question and she wondered why he didn't ask for help. His head had gone up twice and looked for a teacher but went back down just as fast.

Usagi kept her papers in front of her face down not really ready to do them. She picked up the pile and looked at the math questions seeing that on three of the papers there were questions on the back also. Only the last page had questions on the front that went halfway down the paper. She shook her head and reached for her pencil and started. Hearing Mamoru make a noise Usagi looked to him and watched as he erased an answer.

"No Mamoru that's 24." Usagi whispered as she placed her pencil down and turned her last paper over while glancing to Mamoru's paper.

"What?" Mamoru whispered looking sideways at her.

"Number 25, the answer is 24 not 17. You messed up somewhere in the first step." Usagi whispered back.

This time Mamoru looked at her. Usagi who had noticed that none of the teachers came to check on him took it upon herself to show her friend how to do the problem since it was obvious to her that he needed help and none was coming.

"Here let me show you how to do that problem. It's not hard it's just a trick question." Usagi said grabbing her pencil then leaning over to lean on his arm.

Mamoru watched her erase his work then she went step by step showing him the correct way the whole time whispering to him on how to do the problem. His eyes widened in surprise being able to understand her explanation. He watched in awe as she started on the next problem taking her time to explain.

"Is something wrong? Is there a problem over here?" Ms. Ono was heard asking as the young woman stopped in front of the desk.

Mamoru looked up followed by Usagi who noticed the other students all stopping and looking in their direction.

"No Ms. Ono." Mamoru muttered before looking back down. Usagi right away noticed Mamoru's discomfort and her protecting instinct kicked in and her eyes narrowed as she looked at the woman.

The woman turned her eyes to Usagi noticing that the girls papers were still face down.

"Usagi are you having problems? Do you have a question? You haven't turned your papers over." Ms. Ono stated as she pointed to the paper wondering if Usagi was like Mamoru and would need one on one teaching. She and the other assistant teachers in Mr. Muir's room hated that Mamoru was in there and always needed help. The boy made their class look bad they thought.

"Another Mamoru." Usagi heard someone say and an eyebrow went up.

"I am not having any problems and I have no questions about the math. I am done and since I have been waiting for everyone else I decided to show Mamoru how to do number 25 since he needed help and none of you teachers seem to want to come check on him. Is that a problem or is he the only one who isn't given any help?" Usagi stated before looking from the woman to Mr. Muir since he had walked back into the room and was heading towards his desk.

"You….you're done?" Ms. Ono asked being taken back for a moment by what the girl had said. She had a flash of Mr. Chiba and a chill went down her back as she looked to the head teacher then back to the girl who only nodded her head once.

Mamoru looked around the classroom after hearing some of the other students whispering to each other. He missed the teachers all exchange looks. Usagi noticed and rolled her eyes.

"Yes." Usagi said placing her pencil back down then placed her left hand over her right as her legs crossed at her ankles under the desk.

The bell rang after her pencil was down.

"Lunch time you are excused." Another teacher announced after the ringing stopped.

Soon chairs were heard being scooted back followed by the students leaving out once more they were heard mumbling to each other. Usagi looked to Mamoru since he was still sitting while Mr. Muir picked up Usagi's papers and walked away with Ms. Ono following on his heels.

"Mamoru…."

Mamoru looked to Usagi after she said his name.

"I eat in here. My lunch is brought to me and I eat in here in this spot then go outside afterwards and only if the guards say its okay, Uncles orders." Mamoru whispered. Usagi nodded her head half understanding but knew if that's what Daiki wanted then that's what would happen.

"Fine we will wait here." Usagi stated as she watched Mamoru smile.

Mr. Muir and Ms. Ono both walked away heading to the other teachers who were also mumbling to each other. Mr. Muir's face was beaming after he glanced from Usagi's paper then back to the girl allowing Ms. Ono to take the papers.

"She's really done with those problems? All of them are answered?" One of the assistant teachers asked as the two joined them.

"Yes." Ms. Ono said handing Usagi's paper over.

"There are one hundred questions on these papers and the others aren't even in the forties yet except Ami and Zoisite." Another one said taking the paper.

"Is it correct?" Ms. Ono asked looking back towards Usagi and Mamoru as they watched one of Mamoru's guards placing their food in front of them.

She looked away and towards Mr. Muir as he walked out of the room with Usagi's papers in his hand. The others watched him then followed out knowing they needed to eat. They whispered to each other as they left the classroom.

"I hope you're not in trouble. Ms Ono and the others are mean when you're in trouble and Mr. Muir isn't in the room. At least to me they can be." Mamoru mumbled as he started chewing.

"Is Mr. Muir mean?"

"No he likes me I remind him of Uncle he tells me all the time."

"Don't worry I'm not in any trouble." Usagi answered before eating her own food. She looked down and noticed that the food wasn't from the cafeteria. 'No wonder he doesn't' have close friends.' She thought while her head moved back and forth while thinking yet again that Daiki spoiled Mamoru.

After eating the two walked to the door and were escorted to the restrooms. When they arrived back in the classroom they walked over to the windows to look outside.

"We will stay in since there's a guard at the door. Whenever one is standing there I must stay inside." Mamoru explained after spotting the female guarding the open doorway.

"That is fine with me. I am not in the mood to have the whole school checking me out."

"And I bet there are reporters out there. I wonder what Uncle has told them about you. Knowing him Uncle probably hasn't told them anything saying that it's none of their business."

"He's right." Usagi stated then smiled along with Mamoru.

"Does anyone ever stay in here with you?" She asked looking around the room.

Mamoru shook his head no before Usagi moved her eyes to look back outside with Mamoru doing the same.

"It will rain later." Usagi stated after awhile as she looked at the clouds.

"I don't like the rain." Mamoru muttered then looked to Usagi as she took his left hand.

"I don't care for it either." She whispered each looking into the others eyes as they thought about the accident. He laid his head so their foreheads were touching.

"We are together now and we will get through any storm that comes." Mamoru said before pulling Usagi to hug her.

Usagi smiled and wrapped her arms around him while hearing voices in the hallway.

"I still think she cheated or just guessed. I bet she's not done. There's no way she's done. I'm only on question sixty-seven and we must show each step which is taking time." Ami said from the hallway.

"Yes we know." Rei muttered.

"Don't hate that Usagi finished before you. Hey! Ami's got some competition and it's not Zoisite finally!" Makoto was heard saying with Rei agreeing. Each of them delighted. They liked Ami and Zoisite but thought it was time for the two to be knocked off from the top.

"That's good. I'm tired of those two always having their names at the top of the list it's getting old." Kunzite was heard while some agreements from the others were heard.

Mamoru and Usagi let each other go and turned to watch while Rei and Makoto walked in with Ami and Kunzite following. Coming in behind them was Zoisite first with Minako then Nephrite and Jadeite brought up the rear.

"They are allowed in before the others since they are in my group." Mamoru whispered and Usagi nodded.

"Usagi didn't cheat and if she did who did she cheat off of Mamoru? Ha I don't think so. He's the worst student in math!" Rei said before laughing with Makoto.

"He's the worse student in the class!" Makoto answered then laughed again with some of the others.

Usagi looked and saw Mamoru looking down.

"I will change that." She whispered and Mamoru looked at her and smiled then they turned as one to look back at the others.

"Ami's just jealous that Usagi is by Mamoru's side and she isn't. Get over it Mamoru doesn't like you. Hey you and Zoisite should get together!" Nephrite said before pulling some of Makoto's hair as he ran around her.

"Hey they can marry and have some nerdlings!" Kunzite said making Nephrite, Makoto and Rei laugh and Ami blush as she glanced to Zoisite who was acting like he didn't hear.

"Keep your hands off me you pig!" Makoto yelled before running after Nephrite after he tugged her hair once more.

"That's not what you said last night when we did homework!" Nephrite called running around the girls once then the guys only stopping after he spotted Jadeite who was looking right at Usagi along with the others after they spotted her standing beside Mamoru by a window. But unlike the others, Jadeite had stars in his eyes.

"Our little boy is in love." Kunzite said to Nephrite who stood beside him while letting Makoto hit at his arm a few times before she stopped.

"You are so right. Ahh to be young and in love." Nephrite said before laughing along with his friend before each boy slapped Jadeite on his back hard making even Zoisite smile to reveal he heard.

"Stupid idiot boys….You better not touch my hair again butthole!" Makoto said ignoring Nephrite as he stuck his tongue out at her as she began walking over to Rei while wondering why her friend had an expression she couldn't read on her face.

Usagi removed her eyes from her brother and looked to Minako as the girl followed Rei and Makoto over to where she and Mamoru stood.

"Welcome to our class Usagi." Rei said holding her hand out for Usagi to take.

"Too bad Mamoru's Uncle wouldn't let you two leave the room; we could have gotten to know more about you at lunch." She then said as Usagi looked at the hand before taking it and giving it a strong shake.

"Mamoru ask your Uncle to let up on the guards and if you get any closer to Usagi you're going to be on her shoulders." Makoto said making Rei laugh and Minako smile.

"Yeah boy, give the girl some room to breathe." Minako said finally speaking trying to fit in with the others.

Makoto held her hand out ignoring Minako along with Rei who stepped to the side so Usagi could shake Makoto's hand. Usagi took Makoto's hand while watching Minako look away with a slight blush gracing her cheeks.

"Glad to have you in our class." Makoto said while they shook hands.

"Thank you and you could always eat your lunch in here." Usagi said before looking away and removing her hand. The others all looked at her before Rei laughed then the others followed.

"Love it!" Rei muttered smiling towards Usagi.

Mamoru kept silent as he looked to the guys who looked back to the girls as they stood to the left side talking softly to each other. Mamoru looked back to the girls.

"See Minako she's nice now welcome Usagi you also Ami." Rei said turning to her friends.

Minako looked from Rei then to Ami who crossed her arms over her chest and turned her body away.

"Don't mind her she's having a shitty day." Makoto said.

"At least Minako isn't." Rei said before grabbing Ami's hand and dragged her away. Rei's voice could be heard coming out in hushed tones as she chastised Ami whose head went down so low it touched her chest.

Usagi watched the others all shake their heads, they knew what it felt like to have Rei get after them and they felt a little sorry for Ami.

Minako looked away from the two other girls to look at Usagi and held her hand out. Usagi looked to the hand then up to Minako's face. Usagi felt Mamoru move closer. Before she could even think to raise her hand, the bell rang saving Usagi from having to shake her sister's hand.

She and Mamoru watched while the girls walked back to their seats followed by the boys as Kunzite, Nephrite and Zoisite all walked past while telling Usagi welcome. Jadeite followed and just looked at her. When he bumped into Zoisite's chair and almost fell, the boys laughed along with the girls.

"Jadeite better stay clear of you or I'll break his nose." Mamoru mumbled before leading Usagi back to their desk. They sat down just as the teachers walked back in.

"Class you will finish the math papers before getting into your groups." Mr. Muir said walking towards his desk.

Usagi watched while the others all started on their papers. She looked to Mamoru then to Mr. Muir when he placed some papers in front of her.

"Usagi since you are new, we always test new students just to see where they stand. Please take this test." Mr. Muir said as Usagi took the paper noticing that there were five papers.

"Mamoru get back to your paper. If you need help come to my desk." The man said as he sat down.

Mamoru looked away from him to look to Usagi who gave a smile and a nod before she picked up her pencil and started the test finishing before the other students were done with their math paper.

Usagi stood up and walked to Mr. Muir who had been watching her the whole time.

"Did you have a question?" He asked.

"No sir. I'm done." Usagi answered as she handed him the papers.

Mr. Muir took them and looked at each seeing all the questions answered before glancing to the clock then to Usagi.

"Thank you. You may sit back down." He said as he stood up and walked away.

Usagi walked back to Mamoru then sat down then not having anything to do she leaned over once more to help Mamoru out.

While Mamoru wrote what Usagi told him, she looked up after feeling eyes on her. Spotting Ami looking at her, Usagi mouthed to her telling the other girl to get back to work. Ami's eyes widened in shock before her eyes flew back down to her paper. Usagi chucked as she glanced around the room. She noticed Minako seeming to be having problems and almost felt sorry for her.

"Times up, class please hand your papers in." Ms. Ono said walking around the room taking the papers from the students who held them out.

She took Mamoru's papers last surprised that the boy had finished the questions and knew he was only able to finish since Usagi had helped him.

"Is this how your class is every day I mean doing math for half the day?" Usagi whispered.

"Not always sometimes on certain days. I hate those days." Mamoru answered then blushed when Usagi bumped him with her body.

"Please get into your groups class so we can study where we left off yesterday." Ms Ono said walking around the room.

Mamoru stood up then looked when Rei stopped in front of his desk.

"Mamoru per Mr. Muir's orders you are to stay in your seat since he needs to catch you up." She told.

Mamoru nodded as he sat down. Rei smiled and looked to Usagi who looked back until the other girl walked away. Usagi stayed in her spot and watched as the students moved their chairs around forming their groups after they had moved the desk to the walls.

"Our group is called the Moon Group." Mamoru told.

"What do you do in the groups?" She asked Mamoru after looking back at him.

"Before my vacation we were studying French."

"Really?"

"Yes it's not too hard thanks to Uncle taking me there many times." Mamoru whispered then smiled making Usagi smile after she noticed he had kept that information to himself.

Usagi looked up and watched the ones in Mamoru's group placing their chairs near his desk.

"Are you all still studying French?" She asked Makoto since the girl was sitting closest to her.

"We are finishing our French lessons." Makoto said turning towards the girl glad that she was smart enough to sit near her.

"I hope we finish French soon it's so boring." Kunzite mumbled as Nephrite nodded in agreement.

"Some say that French is the language of love." Usagi said getting the attention of the group even Mamoru.

"Yeah right." Ami was heard saying. She turned two shades of red after spotting all of them looking at her and Rei and Makoto shaking their heads. Ami looked down.

"Usagi is right; I've read a book that said the same thing." Zoisite said looking to Usagi while thinking that it would be nice to talk to her about the subject which he thought Usagi would understand. He looked down with a blush after seeing Usagi smiling.

"Language of Love." Makoto, Rei and Minako each said at the same time then sighed.

"Oh God I'm going to throw up in my mouth." Nephrite said covering his mouth as he laid his arm on Kunzites shoulders making his friend laugh.

The girls all glared at him then looked to Mr. Muir.

"Moon Group, study those cards and Mamoru come to my desk." Mr. Muir said as he walked by.

Mamoru stood up and walked to the man's desk and once there he spotted Usagi by his side but kept silent as they listened to the man as he showed Mamoru the work he needed to make up then sent the boy back to his desk with Usagi who had the same work since she had asked for the assignments.

Usagi worked the papers getting down quickly then once more she helped Mamoru who was grateful and Mr. Muir sat watching and smiling as he taught his group the language of love.

While his charges were in their class Daiki turned from the window that looked out over the city from his office. He glanced to the clock and knew it was almost time to leave to pick up the two. He wanted to get them before the school let out and those damn reporters would try to get in.

He walked to his desk to get his briefcase placing a few folders in it he looked up when he heard his secretary and even his personal guard and his right hand man all talking loudly out in the foyer of his office.

Daiki closed the case and headed to the doorway wondering what the problem was. He stopped short after spotting Riku Aino being held back by his people.

"Chiba you tell them to let me in!" Riku called after spotting Daiki who walked out of his office handing his briefcase to his secretary.

"What do you want Aino?" Daiki asked standing and looking to the man he hated. His eyes traveling Riku's form as he tried to pick out any of Usagi in the man.

Daiki knew by the man's features that there was no way that Riku couldn't say Usagi wasn't his daughter because she had his hair coloring and some face features. Daiki would guess that Usagi looked more like Riku than his older daughter did.

"I want to talk to you alone now tell them to let me pass." Riku said getting upset even more since the two men were holding his arms.

Daiki smiled as he looked at his guards liking that Riku was being held back.

"I'm leaving for the day and you don't have an appointment with me. Make one then I might speak with you maybe." Daiki said before walking to the elevator while Riku started yelling telling him to stop.

Daiki shook his head while his eyes rolled and missed the other man getting away from the guards and running to the elevator getting on right before the doors closed leaving him and Daiki alone.

"Damn it Chiba you have something of mine that I want!" Riku Aino said taking a step closer watching Daiki's eyes widen as he stood there staring at his competitor.
