CH10

Usagi in Tomoeda

"Kaijuu! Where have you been?"

Touya's voice yelled worriedly through my thoughts. I looked up and he was sitting with 3 other people, 1 I didn't recognize, and the other was painfully familiar. My heart broke when I saw him. I looked at the group of boys very strangely. And was surprised once more when I saw Takashi coming out of the kitchen with a soda. He said something to Touya, then looked up to me offering me a supportive smile. I felt tears trying to break through remembering today. I walked over to Takashi and my brother with tears trickling down my cheeks. Takashi saw this and offered to take me upstairs. I accepted and told my brother I'd be down a little later. He got up from his seat and gave me a hug,

"Sakura, I want you to talk to me about earlier, when you feel better."

He whispered into my ear as he let me go. Taka-kun and I went up to my room, my tears still flowing. I sat on my bed and wiped them away as I looked towards the pink carpet. 'How could it be? Why is he here?' I thought to myself deep in my own thoughts till I saw a foot taping on the floor in front of me. I looked up towards Taka who's in front of me, with a stern look on his face.

"Saku-chan, how could you do that today? It was incredible stupid and selfish of you."

He practically yelled. I just looked at him slightly confused, and getting angry. I stood so I was as eye level with him as I could be. I saw sadness and hurt in his eyes and my anger quickly dissipated, and I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug. He stood stiff for a moment till he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I, well we, well, everybody's already lost you once. We don't want you to disappear again. You're so important to all of us."

He whispered as I held him. I felt bad for my stunt today after all they've gone through, But I couldn't deal with seeing those girls again today.

"Taka-kun, I'm sorry I just couldn't take Mihara-san, and the others saying things about me. Or having that class with Li-kun, or Tomoyo. I told her that. I needed some time alone, now I feel a little better. I didn't mean to scare you."

I said as I let go of him looking towards my pink carpet once more. He let go of me and excused himself.

"Sakura, I have to go, I was supposed to be home after school, but I had to make sure you didn't leave again."

He said as he started towards the door. He opened it to head out but someone was on the other side preparing to knock. I was shocked again to see them standing there. Taka gave the person a glance and left waving to me.

"Touya asked me to come and see if you'd come down."

I looked at the older man and nodded slowly wiping away any tears that may again surface. He slowly came to my side and put his hand on my shoulder, I looked up at him and he smiled. The tears were still falling as I pulled from his very familiar grip and went down stairs. I wiped them away before I saw Touya.

"Did Taka tell you?"

I questioned already knowing full well what he was going to say. He gave me an uncertain look as he nodded. I just looked at the floor once again.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to get into trouble because of those girls, and I would have. I also couldn't take seeing Li and Tomoyo, so I went for a walk to go get some fresh air, and calm down."

I explained calmly.

"He didn't tell me any of this, he just said he found out you had left school when some girls were talking to you, and you never came back. He was worried you might have left again."

He finished in a worried manner, I could tell he was worried too. 'I felt bad for what I did, but I would have done something worse if they kept talking to me like they were.' I contemplated internally.

"Oh Kaijuu, Let me introduce you to my friends. This is Yugi Tanaka, he moved here last month from Kyoto and Chiba Mamoru he got accepted for a special program and visits with us afterwards 3 times a week."

I bowed and said hi to all his guests, and sat next to him on the couch as they chatted about random things. I smiled and turned to his friend Mamoru.

"Sorry, Mamu-ch..Kun are you from Juuban?"

He nodded and gave me a glance over. I just smiled nervously worrying if I've said too much.

"How'd you know?"

He asked wryly.

"My friends from there. You know her, she unfortunately knows you."

I looked up and both Mamoru and Touya were shooting stares at me, while Yukito, and Yugi-san just sweatdropped, questioningly.

"Who's this friend, I fond have many, and the only person I care about isn't fond of me but doesn't hate me."

He stated defensively.

"I don't think Motoki's very fond of you after what you did. He really liked me."

I yelled angrily. Not realizing my Freudian slip. But all too late I did when his eyes narrowed at me. I felt bad and angry so I stood and was going to leave.

"Onni-chan, Yukito-san, Yugi-san, I'm really sorry."

I turned to Mamoru giving him a cold glare as I huffed out of the room and out of the door.

From Touya's View

"Mamoru, could you do me a favor and go get my sister and Takashi If he's still here."

He nodded as he got up to go get the younger girl. Touya talked with his other 2 friends, as he saw Takashi come down the stairs scratching his head.

"Hey, Takashi, where's Kaijuu?"

He laughed slightly, as he turned to face me.

"I was leaving, she's still upstairs with your friend. He was at the door when I opened it."

A concerned look was painted on his face as well as a blush that even I could notice.

"Takashi, what's wrong?"

He looked in thought for a moment as he chose his words.

"I love Saku, like you do, but I think something's weird with her. Maybe being alone just her and that girl where ever they were had some kind of affect on her. Saku would never even attempt to hurt anyone, or say something bad about someone or even hold a grudge, but also look at what she went through before she ran away, and who knows what while she was gone."

He finished concerned. I smiled at him,

"I'm sure she's fine, just still needs some rest, now why don't you get home."

He waved as he walked out of the house closing the door behind him. I spaced off as I was thinking. My thoughts were interrupted when Sakura and Mamoru came down the stairs.

"Did Taka tell you?"

She asked almost commanding an answer. I just gave her a look and nodded. She looked at the floor.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to get into trouble because of those girls, and I would have. I also couldn't take seeing Li and Tomoyo, so I went for a walk to go get some fresh air, and calm down."

She told me with regret evident in her tone.

"He didn't tell me any of this, he just said he found out you had left school when some girls were talking to you, and you never came back. He was worried you might have left again."

I told my little sister feeling worried for her.

"Oh Kaijuu, Let me introduce you to my friends. This is Yugi Tanaka, he moved here last month from Kyoto and Chiba Mamoru he got accepted for a special program and visits with us afterwards 3 times a week."

She bowed respectfully and said and greeted them, and sat down by me on the couch as my friends and I chatted about random things.

"I'm Sorry but, Mamu-ch..Kun are you from Juuban?"

He nodded and gave her a weird glance. A nervous look appeared and it made me wonder.

"How'd you know?"

He asked wryly.

"My friend's from there. You know her, and she unfortunately knows you."

I looked at my sister in shock, as well as Mamoru, while Yukito, and Yugi-san just sweatdropped, questioningly. I looked back at Mamoru expecting him to remain quiet and just glare, but I was surprised when he responded.

"Who's this friend? I don't have many, and the only person I care about isn't fond of me but doesn't hate me."

He stated defensively.

"I don't think Motoki's very fond of you after what you did. He really liked me."

She was yelling defensively. Something she said caught my attention. "Me?" I whispered to myself. I think she felt bad so she felt bad and angry so she rose and was going to leave.

"Onni-chan, Yukito-san, Yugi-san, I'm really sorry."

She apologized. She turned to Mamoru once more,

"Mamu-kun, I hope that Sailor Moon accidentally hits you with her Tiara!"

She whispered as she gave Mamoru a cold glare and huffed out of the room and also out of the door. I looked back at Mamoru and a weird look took over his features.

"Mamoru-kun, I'm sorry, she's been a little weird since she came home. We still can't figure out why."

I explained, he wasn't' saying anything. The look that had been on his face soon faded back to the same unaffected indifferent smile. He looked up at me something hidden within his eyes I couldn't place.

"Mamoru's who the friend she's talking about?"

I asked him confused as to why he was acting the way he was.

"Touya-kun, I'm sorry I have to go see someone at home."

He said as he left. Leaving Yuki, Tanaka, and myself quite confused.

With Sakura

I opened my eyes to the pale sunlight beating into my pink and with room. I sat up slowly aching slightly, and saw some things on my desk. I got to my feet and sat in the chair seeing some clothes, a school bag, and some hair things. I looked at the stuff and grabbed a pair of flares, and a pale pink and silver shirt, the front was angled to the left, and the back was angled to the right. I went down to the kitchen where I found my new mother hurriedly cooking. I just stood there for a moment looking at me, till she turned and saw her daughter staring at her. I smiled brightly as I looked back at her.

"Oh, Usa-chan, you've changed so much in the months you've been gone. You look like a gorgeous young woman. I mean look at your hair down past the floor and a beautiful silver, your eyes are a beautiful crystal, you're so tall and slender."

She finished as tears sprung from her eyes. I felt badly for Usa's poor mother, deep down she knew Usagi was gone. Before I knew it tears where trying to make there way out as well. I wiped them away and looked at the food she had placed on the table then back at her mother.

"Am I late for School?"

I asked confused, I noticed the clock on the wall said 10.10. My mother just gave me a beaming smile.

"No honey, you're staying home today, and tonight we're going to take you out for a little surprise. I made breakfast for you, so sit and eat up."

I happily sat and ate the delicious meal my mother prepared. Then I sat on the couch in the living room and looked at the pictures that decorated the room. I walked around looking at them I saw pictures of Usa, and her brother when they were little, pictures, of her parents, family, her and her friends, and one that caught my attention. It was Usagi and a little girl that looked familiar for some reason. I took this picture off of the fireplace and looked at it closer.

"Mom!!!"

I called as she walked into the kitchen.

"Who's the little girl in this picture?"

Mother took the picture and looked at it closely.

"It's a little girl you used to play with when you were not even one. She was the cutest little thing, such a sweet child. I was a friend with her mother Nada, a sweet woman. But I haven't' seen them since before they moved quite a few years ago."

They both looked at the picture.

"What was her name? I don't remember her."

I covered convincingly.

"Uhm… Actually, to be honest I don't remember."

She laughed. I took the picture back into the other room, and placed it back on the mantle. I made my way back up to my room and sat on the bed in thought till Luna came in followed by a white cat and a gray kitten.

"Is it really you?"

The little gray ball of fluff questioned. I looked at the kitten as she came bounding towards me, knocking the breath out of me. I hugged her tightly. And put her back down next to her parents who looked at me sadly.

"Usa, I'm sorry! I could have done something, but I just watched."

I put my hand on the white cat's head and was going to speak when my mother called to me. I went down and found my mother leaning against the door with the car keys in her hands.

"Com on Usa, I want to take you to get some stuff for school, and tonight."

She added with a smile. I just looked at the woman with a smile and followed her out to the car and got in.

Hours later

Around 4.45 my mother and I returned from our shopping trip, with about 10 full bags to each of us, and me with a new piercing. I brought my bags upstairs and looked at everything. I looked everything over in order to decide what to wear to when my family and I goes out.

"Mother, what should I wear tonight?"

I yelled downstairs to mother, whom was in the kitchen.

"Just wear a pair of your new jeans and a nice but comfortable shirt."

She yelled up in reply. I rummaged through my clothes and pulled out a pair of jeans that screamed to be worn. I threw them on; they were light blue and had a bell on the bottom but a slit going up the front. And a thin silver chain was crossed through it giving the illusion that it was stitched. I then rummaged some more looking for a shirt.

"Usa, it's going on 6.00 we'll be going soon OK."

Usa's mom yelled up the stairs, as I continued to search for a nice shirt. I found a tank top and put it on to see how it looked. It was a fiery red tank top with a pull string that scrunches just below the bust, showing off my new diamond naval ring. I took my hair out of the odango's it's been in and looked at how long it was.

"Damn, down to the floor."

I said to myself as I took a brush and brushed through the silky silver waves. I was about to put it back in it's odango's but I decided I liked the way it looked down so I put an elastic on my wrist and headed down stairs. I found my family sitting in the living room patiently waiting for me.

"I'm sorry, I'm ready now."

My family looked up and smiled at me.

"Honey you look beautiful, You should wear your hair down more often, Nice belly button."

They all assessed as we got our shoes on and got into the car. Within 20 minutes we were in front of a large hall. We walked into the dark building and the lights jumped on and people were yelling surprise. I was completely surprised, so I jumped up nearly 10 feet in the air. I caught my breath and walked to some people. They all hugged and crowded me. Saying how much I've changed, how I look good, my hair, my belly button. Eventually everyone sat down and all were chatting. I was finally able to get a good look at everyone; I saw the 4 other senshi and 2 of them had guys I don't know with them. I saw Motoki, and a little girl with pigtails (I think Usagi mentioned.) 3 older girls with teal, blonde, and aqua hair, a guy with long black hair, and one with long white hair. Some girl with weird red-brown hair, a dorky looking guy with glasses and a blonde girl, my parents and brother. I smiled at all the people who had come to see Usagi. 'If this was for me my dad brother Yuki, and Taka would come.' I thought to myself. We ate some delicious food and then some fun music came over the speakers and some people got up and started dancing. I was sitting and listening when someone came up behind me and grabbed my waist lifting me out of my seat. I squirmed but soon saw who it was; Motoki set me down in front of a group of girls. I just kind of swayed to the music, as they all stood there looking at me.

"Ok, he pulls me out here to dance then leaves me with you people who are just standing here, you should dance."

I said a little harsher than I should have, but they didn't seem to notice. Minako came up to me something in her hand.

"Usagi, we think you should have this back," "It never should have been taken away."

The girls with the teal and aqua hair added venomously to the 4. I smiled as I took what was in mina's hand. As we slowly began to chat a slow song came on. 2 guys came up to us and asked Ami and Makoto to dance. They looked at the guys dreamily before turning their attention back to me. Makoto bounded towards me nearly knocking me over.

"Usagi I want you to meet Konuyi Takeru, he was a male nurse when I got sick shortly after you left… We've been dating for 7 months almost 8."

She whispered to me with a smile. I laughed and they left to dance, next Ami approached me. She gave me a shy smile as she spoke of the guys who's hand she was holding.

"Usagi I want you to meet my boyfriend Wan Yuru."

She introduced shyly. I smiled and greeted them and they went to go dance. I looked at all the happy dancing couples, the blonde girl and Shingo. The red head, and the dork with the glasses, Ami, and her boyfriend, Makoto and hers, Minako with the boy with long white hair, The aqua haired girl and the blonde, the girl with the teal hair and the boy with the black hair who keeps giving me looks. And the senshi with the raven black hair was just sitting in a corner looking at me. I just stood there dancing couples surrounding me, when I felt someone behind me.

"May I have these dances?"

Motoki asked in a cheesy British accent, which made me laugh. I took his hand and he closed his arm around me and I swung my arms around his neck and we swayed to the music.

"Where's Mamoru?"

Motoki just looked at me and was silent for a moment till he finally spoke.

"3 times a week Mamoru takes special classes a few towns away, and he has a friend there so he visits with him. So he won't be home for a few more hours."

He explained sadly.

"That's ok"

I covered, as I leaned on Motoki. Almost falling asleep as we danced, but I kept my eyes open.

"I missed you Usa, I felt horrible when only I knew you existed. No one else had a clue whom I was talking about. Why did you do that."

He asked his voice trailing off. I just looked up into his sad eyes, I felt bad for him and I didn't do anything.

"As much I wished they would I didn't want them to feel the pain having to remember me while I was gone, if they would have felt any at all."

I said as I put my hand on his cheek.

"You either… But I had seen you and I couldn't alter the wish or it would have messed everything up. I'm so sorry Motoki."

I finished as I dropped my hand from his cheek and started to back away, I figured he'd be mad at me but he didn't allow me to leave. I looked up at him and he was staring into my eyes. He hugged me closely and started to whisper into my ear.

"Usa, I'm sorry they made you hurt. I'm sorry if I did anything to add to it but…"

He stopped talking when he noticed I wasn't looking at him. He looked to where my eyes where on the new arrival who'd walked through the door. People were waving and talking to him but the whole time his eyes were on Motoki and myself. I pulled myself from his arms and went over to him.
