Chapter eleven- 'Shopping'

The ride to the mall was harmless. Quiet, as the girl's stared out the windows, and watched the buildings pass by.
In no time, barely even 15 minutes had past, before they arrived at the mall. Relena was the first to climb out, and in haled deeply. Usagi climbed out from behind her, and looked at the large building they were about to enter. "It's huge." She looked left and right, and assumed the walls went on forever. Relena nodded, in agreement, "Hai I know. And we're going to every store was can today!" She took Usagi by the hand, and stared towards the entrance.
An unenthusiastic Wufei, climbed out last, and the limo drove off, with the orders, of not coming back till five in the evening. Wufei looked at his watch, and frowned.
12 o'clock
He sighed, and walked after the two girls, who held smiles on their face, and crossed his arms, and grunted with displeasure. He hated his job.
Relena glanced over her shoulder, to see Wufei enter the mall. "Lets go to the candy store." Usagi's face lit up, and she squealed like a little kid. "Hai, lets do!!!" She pulled Relena, to the closest store, and they entered. Wufei followed close behind.
Relena led Usagi to the large gumball section. "I don't like it, with a man following us do you agree Usagi?" Usagi looked at the man, near the entrance. His eyes, were watching them, but she knew, he couldn't see her looking at him.
He was dressed lightly, in loose fitting white pants, that hung off his legs. She could tell, that he was agile, and good at fighting. The way he stood, gave her the impression, that he had been through a great deal, had to be strong. His shirt, was dark royal blue shoulder sleeves, and tucked into the pants, and black belt around his waist. His hair was slicked back into a tight ponytail at the nape of his neck. His gave caught hers, and she lost the breath in her lungs. They were so dark, so cold and unyielding. Even the stranger, Heero, didn't look so hatful to the world around him. But that was because he held in his emotions, why Wufei, let his out in anger.
She nodded, "hai, what do we do?" Relena smirked, and pointed at the sign, that read food court. "We are going to split up. I'll go to the food court, while you lead Wufei around the whole mall. Then you loose him." "How?" Relena shrugged, "go into a clothes store, and watch him. When he sits down to rest, you bolt. Then meet up with me at three, at the food court." Relena reached into her purse, and pulled out a master card. "Here, buy what ever you want." Usagi began to shake her head, but Relena was already leaving.
She yelped, and went after her, but then her eyes fell onto the large lollypop, and her mouth began to drool. She grabbed it, along a bag of rock candy, gumballs, and hot tamales. She was grinning, like a little kid on Christmas, as she walked to the counter. With the master card, she easily bought her candy, and turned. Relena was gone, but Wufei was still there, staring at her.
She swallowed hard, 'Clothes store...I need a clothes store.' She stared towards the door, and meekly, walked passed him. She could feel his eyes on her, as she walked down one of the long halls of the mall. She saw a store, and slipped inside. Wufei stayed outside, and watched the only exit. A few seconds past, and soon five minutes had gone by. He frowned, and suddenly saw her come out.
She was now carrying the bag. He glanced at the store, and smirked. 'Out door camping? What the hell does she need from there?'
He frowned, and started after her. He stayed back, so that if anyone was watching, he was just walking through the mall. He watched the golden haired child, as she slipped into another store. He hurried along, and stopped in front of a Clair's Jewelry. He watched her through the glass, but made it seem to others, that he was staring the rings on display.
He frowned, as she talked to the worker, and was led into the back. He frowned, and tried to see. He waited, and time began to tick by. His fists clenched, and watched as men and women entered, and left the store, mostly women. He was just about to go in, when suddenly she appeared.
He glared at her, and watched her step out of the store. She looked at him, and her eyes looked pained. She turned, and he realized why. She had gotten her ears pierced. They now held diamond studs. He watched her go, and waited till she was a good five feet ahead, before he continued on after her.
She continued to go in and out of stores, coming out with more and more things. Soon she held two large bags, one on each arm. They came to a dead end, and she turned around, and walked back to the junction from before. He followed, and closely watched her. He couldn't see what was in her bags, but knew she had a lot of things.
She head for another hall, and they passed Victoria's Secret, for the third time. And every time they passed it, she flushed, and hurried by. He was glad that she wouldn't go in there.
She walked into GAP, and groaned. He knew women, and the incest on clothes. He watched her walk in, and then disappeared. He walked to bench nearby, and sat down. He glanced at him watch, and scowled. Only one o'clock. So far, she had been in ten stores, where she bought something, and nine, she came out embarrassed that she had gone in. He sighed heavily, and stared at the entrance.
An hour passed, and he sat back on the bench. He rubbed the back of his neck, and closed his eyes.

Usagi looked out, and smirked. Finally, she could leave. She picked up her bags, and tugged down the outfit she had bought. It was snug, but she didn't mind it much, it was the fact, how short it was. She walked behind a young couple. She had been following them around the whole store, waiting for Wufei the relax enough, for her to make her escape.
The young man noticed her, and watched her glanced outside the store, as they neared it. Then suddenly, she bolted for the exit, running past them, and flew around the corner, racing for the stairs.
Usagi made it up the small flight of stairs, and glanced over her shoulder. Just as she did, Wufei's eyes snapped open, and he looked right at her. The woman, from the GAP store, walked past her, and slipped into a nearby store. Without a thought, Usagi ducked inside as well.
It wasn't until she entered, did she realized where she had one. She paled, and she looked around, her eyes wide with shock, and disgust. She turned around, and hit somebody. "Oof!"
She pulled back, bracing her hands against the firm chest. She opened her eyes, to stare at a broad chest, and wide shoulders. Her eyes, traveled up, and she looked into the face of the man, from the GAP store. He was smirked lightly, as he stared down at her.
Tan skin, stretched over rippling muscles, and was covered by a golden shirt, that said whipped on the front. His blue jeans were tight around his firm thighs, and Usagi gulped down her heart. His eyes, were blue ice, and calm as they stared down at her. His hair was long, and brushed his shoulders, the silver locks, parted down the middle, and his bangs, also parted, to keep out of his beautiful face.
"Are you okay?" She absently nodded, and muttered, "Wrong store." She glanced out from behind him, and winced. Wufei was pissed. "I have to go." He nodded, "okay, have a good afternoon Usagi."
She nodded, and walked passed him. It wasn't until she was near the exit, did she realized what he had called her. He turned, and glanced over her shoulder, "How..." but he was gone.
The young man took his place next to a shorter figure, hidden behind a shelf. "Who was that Kunzite?" The silver haired man, looked down at his partner, "Usagi." The shorter person, nodded, and stepped out from behind the shadow. They watched, as a dark haired man glared at the blonde, before she scurried off.
The shorter figure crossed his arms over his chest, "Do you think she knows?" Kunzite shook his head. "Iie, she would have known me, but she didn't looked too fazed, when I called her by her name." The shorter man smirked, "Well lets go. We have a busy day."
Usagi glanced over her shoulder nervously. He was still there. She knew he was pissed, and she didn't blame him one bit. It was just scary, the way he stared at her; his eyes could melt a glacier.
Usagi shivered, and glanced up. She had to get away. She slipped inside the toy store, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned around, looking outside. She watched him appear through the glass, and enter the toy store.
She turned, and rushed down one of the aisles. She turned, and head down to the end. She stopped at the last aisle in the toy store. She glanced behind her, and didn't see him. She sighed, and walked up the last aisle. She stopped, about halfway, when something caught her eyes. She tapped her chin, and thought that is might just work. Relena had said to get rid of him, but she didn't say how she should go about doing it.
She grabbed the toy, and headed for the front desk.
Wufei frowned, and glanced left then right. She had run down here, but had disappeared down one of the other aisles. He scowled, 'I need to talk to that onna.' He clenched his fists, and headed down to the last aisle.
He knew he had made a mistake coming in here, and it was most likely, that she had left the store. He walked up the aisle, but a door shut behind him. He turned around slowly, only to have water shoot out an orange gun, and instantly, his face, and shirt was soaked.
He covered his face, and when the water stopped coming, he dropped his hands at his sides. Usagi stood in front of him, and she held a smaller version of a supper soaker. He knew, that his face exposed his anger, because suddenly, her face went pale. Instantly, she dropped the gun, and bolted.
Wufei swooped down, and picked up the squirt gun. He turned, and raced towards the exit. Just as he came out, Usagi had run out the store, and heading back to the junction. He picked up his speed, and went after her. He could see her ahead, her hair whipping the air behind her. He gained speed.
Usagi glanced over her shoulder, and yelped as he grabbed at her. She jerked away, and pumped her legs, to get herself going. Her legs burned, and her feet ached, but she didn't dare stop. She looked up, and found herself nearing the junction. She looked around for a hiding place. Without thinking, she bolted left, narrowly missing Wufei's grasping hands.
Everyone he passed, eyed him strangely, but he ignored them. Others, moved, so he didn't have to push them down, while ethers, glanced at the squirt gun. He was about to grab Usagi, when suddenly she bolted away with renewed speed. He went after her, but slid to a stop, in front of the store she had entered.
He glared at her from outside of Victoria's Secret.
Usagi had dropped her things, from where she stood. She gasped for air, as her heart pounded against her ribs cage. She leaned against a rack, and looked up. Wufei was standing outside, glancing around inside the store. Suddenly, he stepped inside, and Usagi could have sworn her heart stopped.
"Miss." Usagi's head jerked up, and she looked at the lady. "Huh?" She glanced at Wufei, who had frozen, and was eyeing them. She stood up.
The lady grinned, and glanced at Wufei, then back to Usagi. "Awe, your husband?" Usagi paled slightly, and shook her head, but then slowly stopped herself. An idea formed in her head. "My boyfriend." She saw his cheeks flame, but it wasn't from anger. She smiled at the lady, a twinkle in her eyes.
The lady nodded, "Hmm, do you need help finding something for a special occasion." Usagi eagerly nodded, and called out to Wufei, "Right Fei chan?" His eyes widen, and his cheeks brightened more. Se nodded for him.
The lady nodded, and replied, "Here follow me." She walked towards the wall, with Usagi behind her. Usagi looked at Wufei, to see him glaring at her. In return, she stuck her tongue out at him.
The lady, took something off the wall, and held it out to Usagi. "What about this?" Usagi turned around, to see it, and blushed crimson. "What is it?" The lady looked at her, and smiled, and held it up against Usagi's body. "What does Fei think?" Usagi's eyes widen, and it took all her will, to drag her eyes off the red silky, that held holes in all the wrong places, to Wufei's face. He had covered his face with his hands, shaking his head.
Usagi agreed with him.
The lady took down another one, and Usagi eyed it. "Not bad." It was black, and so far, no hole, except for on the back. She looked at Wufei, who had paled slightly. "What's wrong with this front?" The lady turned it around, "This is the front ma'am." Usagi jumped away, and shook her head, "iie, that's okay. Don't you have anything less conspectus?"
The lady, nodded, and led Usagi to the back of the store. She held up, a white silky nightie, with thin straps, and frilly designs on the top, and bottom. The nightie was small, and reached to thighs.
Usagi nodded, and looked up at Wufei. He was staring at her, a faint marks of a blush on his cheeks. Usagi grinned, "I'll take it. Here." She handed the lady the master card. The lady took it, and walked to the front desk. When the lady was out of view, Wufei growled, and stepped inside. He had never felt so embarrassed in his life.
Usagi, had been eyeing a black one similar, to the one she buying, when she heard Wufei growl. She looked up, and yelped. She turned, and ran into the fitting rooms.
She picked the last stall, and slipped inside. She was about to shut the door, when suddenly Wufei ran in with her, and locked the door behind him. Usagi shrieked, and pressed her body to the wall. He walked up to her, and trapped her against him, and the wall. "What the hell was that all about onna!!!" His face was red with anger.
Usagi paled, and stated franticly, "It was Relena's idea. She wanted me to loose you, so we could go shopping alone." Suddenly she was sprayed by the same squirt gun, she had gotten him with. "That's for, trying to sneak out of the clothes store. He doused her again; this time sprayed her lower body, and the tight dress she had changed into. "This is for spraying me!!"
Usagi coughed and spluttered, she wiped her face with her hand, and looked up at him, through her wet bangs, that had plastered themselves to her forehead. She stared into his face. He was as wet as she, his hair, had begun to fall out of the ponytail, and a few had fallen into his eyes. He glared back down at her.
Usagi knew she was a mess, her hair wet, and a large rat ness, on her head. Her eyes, red, from the tears, she had tried many times to stop from falling. Her face pale with fear. He had gotten her dress wet, which had hugged her curves nicely, but was now a little see through. It was light pink, and stretchy. It came down to her thighs, and held no sleeves, or straps. Arm covers, started below her shoulders, to her wrists.
"Gomen nasasi Wufei san." She pouted, and stared up at him through long eyelashes. He frowned, and replied snappily, "And this is for, that incident right outside."
Usagi closed her eyes, ready for another dousing. But instead, his lips claimed hers, in an intense, and hungry kiss. Usagi eyes flew open, and she stared at him in shock. He tilted his head to the side, and stared back into her eyes. His lips moved over hers, and Usagi sighed against his lips, and her eyes fell close. Her parted her lips, and tasted every corner of her mouth, with his tongue. His arms, held her by the waist, and kept her flat against the wall.
Usagi felt weak, and her knees were like jell-O.
Then all of a sudden, he pulled away, and Usagi fell onto the floor like a doll. She looked up at him, but he was already opening the door. He pushed it open, and Usagi climbed to her feet.
"Ma'am." Usagi weakly, walked out, to see the lady right outside. She smiled, and handed Usagi her purchase, and her other bags. Usagi took them numbly. Wufei took her by the arm, and lead her out of the store, and in the direction of the food court.
They found Relena, waiting at a table. Relena, looked at them, and burst into laughter. She fell out of her seat, holding her middle, and pointed at them.
Usagi raised an eyebrow, and looked around alarmed. She hadn't seen her itoko laugh like that since they were five.
Wufei on the other hand, found it odd, and studied the hime closely. There was something different about her.
Relena, contained her laughter, and climbed to her feet. "Usa chan, what did you do to Wufei san?" Usagi flushed, and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. She hoped, he wouldn't say anything.
Relena glanced from one to the other. "Well I guess you two have done enough shopping. And guess what, so have I!!!" Relena skipped back to her table, and held up four bags, filled, and stuffed with clothing.
Usagi gapped, and pointed at Wufei, "Then...then...then..." she let out a frustrated sigh, and threw her arms up in the air. "I give up!" She turned around, and stalked out of the food court.
Wufei frowned, and turned, and followed after the blonde. She was his mission, no Relena. Relena cried out after them, "Hey...what I say!!!"
Relena joined the two, outside the mall. Usagi was at the edge of the sidewalk, her arm in the air, "Takushi!!!!" The yellow cab went by, but screeched to a stop. Usagi grinned, and raced towards it, before someone else would take it from, her. She made it to door, just as someone else did. Her face instantly fell, and she frowned.
Her eyes skimmed up the arm, to the broad chest, and soon she was staring into a pair of familiar eyes. "You." It was more of an accusing statement, then anything else. The man, was at least one and a half heads taller than her, but handsome. He was built fitly, with broad shoulders, and full chest, firm stomach, and lean thighs. His arms, muscular, and Usagi, related with a quarterback, on a football team.
His hair was long, but beautiful. It brushed his shoulders, and the light wind, whipped around, and off his shoulders. His eyes, were gorges, and trapped her in a calm gaze. But calm, was nowhere in his posture.
Usagi, heard a faint chuckle, and directed her gave, to the person, she had mistaken as a woman, in the GAP store. Her eyes widen with shock. Even though she had thought him a man, she found herself, awed by his beauty. Long honey brown hair, fell from the low ponytail, at the nape of his neck. His bangs long, fell into green eyes that reminded her of cat eyes. His stare, on the other hand, was dually; as if he knew he had more important things to do. He wore thin wire rimmed glasses over his eyes, and Usagi knew right away, he was intelligent. Usagi bit her bottom lip, and took a step back. She felt weird in their presence, as if it wasn't quite right, that she stood so close.
"Gomen nasasi sirs."
The taller of the two, by at least a foot, smiled, and shook his head. "No, take it. You called it, you deserve the ride." Usagi flushed, "Iie, you got there first."
The man was about to reply, but Wufei beat him to it. "Come on onna." He slid into the back seat, and Relena bounced up towards them. "Lets go Usa chan." She slid in after Wufei, and stuffed her bags, in the middle seat.
Usagi frowned, and stated, "Gomen." She looked up at the taller one, and frowned when she remembered something. "How do you know my name?"
The taller man, had been frowning at the Takushi, but when she spoke, he looked at her. He smiled again, and replied, "I know a lot of things." The shorter one groaned, "Just spill it. You screwed up anyway." With that said, the shorter one stalked off, to claim another Takushi, for their ride home.
The taller man nodded with a sigh. "I guess I did mess up. Sorry Usagi. I know you, because your father sent me." Usagi paled, "He...He did?" he nodded, and continued, "he believes, you might be in danger, so he sent Zoisite, and myself, to keep tabs on you."
Usagi nodded, but the blaring of the Takushi's horn, snapped her out of her thought. She bit her bottom lip, and climbed into the front seat. "Artigato sir."
He nodded, and watched the Takushi drive off. Once it was gone, his partner joined his side. "Did she buy it?" The taller man nodded, "Yes she did."
"Good. This will go by much quicker, than I had thought."
The taller man frowned, "I hate to lie to her like this. She deserves the truth." The shorter man scoffed, "That hussy! She wouldn't know the truth if it hit her in the face."
The taller man glared at his partner, "That was uncalled for Zoi. I wont have you talking about her like that."
Zoisite shrugged, "well, soon it wont even matter, if I call her a..." Kunzite, shook his head, and growled, "Shut up Zoisite. I don't want to hear another word."
Zoisite rolled his eyes, and crossed his arms. A Takushi, pulled up in front of them. The two climbed in, and not long after, it pulled from the curb, and drove off.
