Winter Love
Chapter 9

Usagi and the girls walked into the store with beautiful gowns and dresses hanging in the window. "OH I can't wait! 2 more days!" Usagi giggled.

Minako and Makoto giggled and watched Usagi aw over the nice dresses. Just then Kunzite and Nephrite came up beside them. "She is still the sweet innocent girl. More mature don't you think Neph?" Kunzite smiled.

"You're smiling. HEY GUYS! KUNZITE IS SMILING!" Nephrite joked. Kunzite started to chuckle too. They both looked when they heard a gasp.

"You're laughing too!" Usagi's face was sparkling with happiness. "Oh Reno-chan! You own me 1000 Yen buddy!" Usagi laughed and danced when every ones face was in shock.

"I hoped you wouldn't have done that so soon!" Reno bumped into Kunzite with a bummed look on his face. "Just a couple of more days and I would have won. Couple more days. Damn." Reno handed Usagi a 1000 Yen.

"What was that about?" Ami asked

"That would be…well okay Kunzite RARELY finds anything amusing. He is like Mamoru-baka. Serious all the time. That is why they are best friends. ALSO me and Reno made a bet to see if Kunzite would laugh or chuckle before or after the Winter Ball. I said before Reno said after. Kunzite…You are the best!" Usagi flung herself at him and gave him a big hug. Kunzite laughed again.

"Thank you Little Rabbit." Kunzite hugged her back.

"You guys are really close huh?" Rei came up to them.

"You could say that." Jedeite chuckled. "Little Rabbit here is like our little sister. We tease her, protect her from guys we don't like and played with her when she was little. Man was she annoying then…but for Shingo we would…after awhile though it seemed like a day when she wasn't around us it felt weird." Jedeite sighed.

"Remember that day she got that high fever for 3 days and had to go to the hospital?" Zoicite smiled at the memory.

"Yeah. We were all worried. Mama took her to the hospital and I asked where she was going to Papa…man I thought she wasn't going to come back. What did she have again?" Shingo smiled at how worried they were back then.

"I had Chronic Bronchitis…then after I got over that I had more lung problems after they settled the bronchitis. I couldn't talk my throat hurt so much. I didn't want to eat either." Usagi's face look some what disgusted.

"Right. I remember now." Nephrite smiled.

"Wow you never told us that Usa!" Minako gasped.

"You didn't want to be there. Be glad you weren't. All of us were scared." Mamoru sighed.

"Why was that?" Rei looked at Usagi with Sympathy.

"Cause it was the first time any one saw Papa cry." Shingo looked sad.

"I have never seen Tsukino-papa cry in my life. Then when he took us to the hospital the doctors told him something and he cried. For a while actually." Kunzite still held on to Usagi. Minako watched as felt a little jealous. Jealous that Usagi had a HOT guy holding on to her and cared for her. Though she felt bad for thinking that. It's Usagi. Plus she had Motoki for gosh sakes.

"Well my money is itching to be spent girls. Lets find our dresses." Usagi let got of Kunzite the girls looked around.


Guys P O V

"Did you tell Reno yet Kun?" Jedeite asked so just the guys could hear.

"Tell me what?" Reno looked dumbfounded.

"I'll take that as a no." Jedeite sighed. " Reno…We have to tell you something you wont like." Jedeite looked at him with sad eyes. "It's about Victoria and Mamoru and Little Rabbit."

"What?" Reno looked angry now.

"What's this about me?" Mamoru looked interested.

"Okay…keep this between us. Reno…Kunzite had something to tell you." Zoicite sighed. "I can't tell him."

Kunzite sighed. "You know that Victoria is our 2nd Cousin right?" He looked at his little brother.

"No. What?" Reno looked frustrated.

"Well She is. And she has ALWAYS been after Mamoru. Now she called me up before I came and told me…to keep you with Little Rabbit so Mamoru could be hers. Now I need to tell you this and Mamoru forgive me…" Reno and Mamoru looked at each other confused. "…Mamoru has feelings for Little Rabbit. Always has…well not always but pretty close. Anyways, Little Rabbit had a HUGE crush on Mamoru when she was little but that never really went away. I know you never knew Usagi when we were all growing up…and I am sorry for that, but I can't stand to see Victoria win when they both like each other and there could be something more. I know you don't like this but what is the real reason you are going out with Little Rabbit? I know it's some thing more. You know some thing and you are going to tell me." Kunzite looked stern at Reno.

Reno sighed and looked in the direction of Usagi who was laughing with her girl friends. "Okay…there are lots of reasons." Reno looked back and gave a frustrated look. "One I heard these guys talking that if she was single then they would force her to do things…I would rather not say…then I talked to some guys after I asked her out. They "talked" to those guys…another reason is that I do like her but there is this weird feeling more powerful then I feel for Little Rabbit when I'm around…" Reno gulped. "…Yamamoto Ryo." Reno looked up at his brother.

"You're gay!" Zoicite gasped/hissed.

Reno nodded and looked at the floor. "There was a girl at school that found out and she said if I didn't go to the Dance or pretend I had a girlfriend then she would tell Ryo and things would have gotten real nasty. There is also another reason…" Reno sighed.

"How could this get any worse…" Kunzite sighed. (Imagine the anime characters sweatdroping…that is what kunzite and the others look like. Hehe.)

"Well…Shingo…"Reno looked over at the Big Brother and the "co-leader" of this "gang".

"u-u-uh h-h-hu-huh?" Shingo got really nervous now. 'This is SO not going to go well.'

"Well Shingo doesn't know this now but he will in a little while…Little Rabbit is his little sister and he…he…oh this is going to be hard…well I-" Reno was cut off by a squeal.

"Oh Usa! You look absolutely stunning!" Minako squealed.

All the girls were dressed in the gowns they chose to try on. Minako was in a golden yellow gown with orange trimmings. It was a spaghetti strap and it hugged her curves. It dropped to the floor. She had orange heels on with it.

"You look like a Princess, Usagi." Ami smiled. Ami was dressed in a ice blue gown that was over the shoulder with dark blue trimmings. It also hugged her curves but flowed to the floor. Ami wore blue stilettos with her dress.

"You'll knock 'em senseless Usa." Makoto grinned. She was dressed in a forest green with dark green swirl gown. It was an over the shoulder as well. It flowed around her long legs and touched the floor. You could see she was wearing dark green boots that came to her ankle.

"Oh Usagi." Rei smiled. Rei was dressed in a deep red dress with maroon trimmings. It was a spaghetti strap and it flowed to her knees. Rei also wore stilettos that were fire red and she had white gloves on her small hands.

"Do you really like it?" Usagi walked into view of the guys. All of their mouths dropped. Usagi was wearing a silver gown that hugged her curves. It started to flow around her ankles and she was wearing white heels. There was a bow on her lower back and the gown was open in the back. She wore her hair in her normal style. The guys looked at her with awe. "What if I took my hair down?" Usagi asked.

"Lets see it then." Makoto beamed.

Usagi took down one 'odango' and half of her hair fell to the floor. It curled and shined. Then she took the other 'ondago' out and all her hair was down, shining and shimmering when the light hit it. She spun around and looked over and her girl friends. "Does that look any better?" Usagi questioned.

The guy's mouths dropped. She was a princess. The most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Mamoru and Reno were drooling. "This is why I have feelings for her. She's sweet innocent and damn beautiful. She is an ANGEL!" Reno whispered.

"No put you hair up girl. Here, I'll do it." Minako went up and did her hair in a messy bun that curled up around her shoulders. "Look here girl." Minako squealed when Usagi turned to her. "Oh Usa! You are going to be the belle of the ball."

There was a gasp in the doorway. They turned to see who it was. "Is that my baby princess?"

"PAPA!" Usagi ran to him. They watched. She had grace and she didn't trip once running in heels.

"Oh my goodness honey. You look so…beautiful. You look like an angel." Kenji caught his daughter in a hug. "Oh you are going to break so many hearts at the ball." Kenji smiled.

Usagi's face fell then. She looked at the girls who looked sad too. They had their gowns and every thing but Usagi couldn't have this one. It was too expensive. It was 159,870 Yen(if you don't know the currency rate that is $2000 Canadian,$1,542.03 US). Usagi sighed and looked at her Papa. "I'm not getting this gown papa. It's too much for me to buy. The girls said they would help but they can JUST cover their gowns." Usagi smiled. "I can find another one."

"Oh no you certainly not." Shingo came in. "I'll pitch in what else you need for it."

"No you will not Sport!" Kenji looked stern. "How much is it princess?" Kenji looked at he daughter.

"It's 159,870 Yen Papa. It's too much!" Usagi had a tone that he was crazy if he is thinking what she thinks he's thinking.

"I'll buy it." Kenji took out his wallet and took out a credit card.

"Oh know you are not Papa. I will find another one!" Usagi exclaimed. "I will pay for it! I will get a different one."

"I'll help!" Zoicite piped up.

"Me too!" Jedeite called.

"I can give 42,206.07 Yen!" Nephrite chuckled.

"He Tsukino-papa. Let us help!" Kunzite walked over. "I have 84,412.15 Yen!" Kunzite smiled at Usagi.

"I can buy it for you Odango!" Mamoru smirked. "I have 5,523,301.32 Yen in my Savings."

The girls awed and gasped. Usagi began to tear up. She had a smile on her face. "Thank you so much but I couldn't let you do that! I wouldn't be able to pay you till much, much later." A tear rolled down Usagi's cheek.

"I'll help too Little Rabbit. I could pay 3/4th of it." Reno smiled.

"Oh I couldn't do this to you guys." Usagi smiled even more. "Thank you any way guys."

"No! Papa is paying for it. I only have 126,618.22 Yen. Now this will be a secret from mom kay?" Kenji winked.

"I'll make up for the other pay Tsukino-papa!" Kunzite smiled.

"Fine! You'll make up. I'll pay you back son!" Kenji smiled at Kunzite.

"Nah…It's for my Usagi-imooto-chan." Kunzite grinned.

Every one turned to Usagi when they heard a squeak. They saw her crying. "Oh Usa!" Minako ran to her. "I know. I know. You are so loved." Minako smiled and brushed the tears away. Usagi had tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh Papa…Kunzite-san." Usagi went and hugged her father, then to Kunzite. "Arigotou. Domo Arigotou. Arigotou." Usagi cried.

"Any thing for you Usagi. Remember our promise when we were little. Remember what we said to you before we left? We made a promise that you would be the prettiest girl at your first dance. Now since we weren't there now we can keep that promise. We all promised." Kunzite soothed. "Mamoru even said he would take you. Remember that. Remember how happy you were. You had the biggest smile on when he said he would take you. We never forced him either. We argued who was going to take you. Jedeite and Zoicite were arguing for a day." Kunzite looked at the guys. Usagi still had tears streaming down her rosy cheeks. She went and hugged them all.

"I will take you Little Rabbit." Jedeite smiled. "I will."

"We can both take you!" Zoicite kissed her cheek.

"I knew you would protect her boys!" Kenji smiled and waved over the sales woman.

"I want to take her too!" Reno whined. "She is my girlfriend after all!"

"You have to be the luckiest girl every Usa! You have guys fighting over you to go to the ball and you will look the best! You really are an angel Usa!" Minako smiled.

"We love you girl! Don't ever change." Rei came over and all the girls hugged Usagi.

"Well didn't think that she would have so many people caring for her hey Mamoru?" Shingo whispered.

"How can they not care for her Shingo? She is the sweetest girl I have ever known." Mamoru whispered.

"Can I help you sir?" The Sales woman asked sweetly.

"Yes I would like to pay for this dress in full!" Kenji smiled.

"Right this way sir. Is this your daughter? She is so beautiful. What is your name girl?" The woman smiled.

"I'm Tsukino Usagi." Usagi smiled as her friends held her.

"Well, You have the worlds best father." Kenji beamed and followed the lady. Kunzite handed him half the dress money to Kenji.

"Here. Half and Half. Then Tsukino-mama won't ask where it all went and u have no presents!" Kunzite smiled.

The girls talked and giggled and they all talked to Usagi. Kunzite went to Mamoru. "You would still pay for her dress even though that's your spendings you're giving up?" Kunzite smiled.

"We have to get away around this 'mess' so we can get you two together." Shingo whispered.

"I don't know." Mamoru gave a sigh.

"I will help too. Let me talk to Little Rabbit." Reno came up to them.

"You break her heart kid and I sear to kami you will not make it to that Winter Ball!" Shingo growled.

"I agree. You make her cry her heart out and I will seriously hurt you!" Mamoru glared at Reno.

"I wont! I will talk to her tomorrow! The ball is in 2 days! Plenty of time to get rid of Victoria and to get what I want!" Reno smiled!

When they looked up to see the girls they were now holding their gowns and in their normal clothes. "Holy shit that was fast!" Jedeite came up to them.

"Well Princess it's paid for! Let's hope your 'boys' can handle such a girl like you!" Kenji kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Let's go Christmas shopping now!"

The girls cheered. The rest paid for their gowns then they all headed out. They all hung out with Kenji and he was having the best time he's had in a long time! He watched he daughter and son play fight and enjoy their company. He would have a good night sleep tonight!
