Mamoru's face turned pale. SHE ran the jewellery store?! That was just
fine and DANDY!
"I'm buying something special for my girlfriend and the saleslady I have to
buy it from is the only person I can't get along with. SURE I could go at
some other store, forget all about that little odangoed girl.....BUT OSA*P
is reputed to be the best jewellery shop in town, and I WANTED the best for
my girlfriend, right?"
He said this over and over in his mind. But there was some other factor
nagging at him. It told him that what he was saying wasn't completely
true...there were other reasons to go to that store...some things that
couldn't be explained.
"Well, Mamoru-baka.... I'd better bet getting back to work... don't look too
disappointed... Ja ne Motoki-onii-san!" She waved good-bye to Motoki and
stuck her tongue out at Mamoru.
Watching her leave, Motoki chuckled. Then he looked back at his other
friend, Mamoru.
"Looks like things are beginning to be interesting." Mamoru glared at his
best friend, seeing this, Motoki backed off a bit, changing the subject.
"SO, how's your gift for Quinn coming along?" Mamoru groaned.
"Don't even ask, I was thinking of proposing for Christmas... AND I wanted
to get her THE BEST ring I could afford...and I knew the place to go was
OSA*P."
Motoki nodded, obviously, his thoughts were else where. Slowly, a smile
crept across his face. Mamoru looked a bit worried by this prospect.
"What would you think if I told you to hold off your plans until...."
Mamoru looked at his friend closely.
"Until what?" Motoki side-glanced his friend.
"Well...ummm... until... maybe you found someone else.... you know...
instead of Quinn..."
"NANI?! Motoki are you crazy?! NO WAY!!!! I just have to find a way to
get a long with Odango Atama... then I'll be able to get the ring for
Quinn... I'm not giving her up for anyone else!" Mamoru looked at his
friend as if he were psycho.
"I'm not crazy... I was just thinking... I mean... you and Quinn... just
don't seem to go together very well. There must be a better girl for you to
go out with!"
"Keep it that way then! A THOUGHT! Quinn is the ONLY girl for me... I love
her, and she loves me. Besides, even if she weren't... it's too late now...
no one would love me... But that's not true, because I've got Quinn." For
some reason Motoki shook his head at his friend, wrong, so wrong for you
Mamoru! Motoki thought.
"How about this... Give me until Christmas Eve... DECEMBER 24th to find you
your perfect match! And if I don't, you can ruin your life with Quinn."
The black haired man shook his head at his friend.
"Not going to happen... you're welcome to try, but you won't succeed."
Confident, Mamoru shook hands with Motoki, ensuring the deal.
The bells at the front door rang and in walked in, Quinn. Her chin was
raised high, and she batted her eyelashes, finally she caught sight of
Mamoru. She was of medium build, dark red hair, brown-green eyes.
"HONEY!!! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! Then I
thought to myself, 'Quinn, where else would Mamoru be but at that quaint
arcade in downtown Tokyo!'" Seething, Motoki said hello... 'Quaint indeed,
we're one of the best arcades in the country! Show her quaint...' he
smirked, 'I can't wait till Mamoru dumps this girl.'
"SO.... Mamoru... what are we going to do tonight, for our date?" She
purred into his ear. (AN: *gag* *gag* HELP ME!!! EWW EWW EWWW!!) Mamoru
simply smiled at his girlfriend.
"I'm afraid that I can't make it for our date tonight, Muffin..." Quinn's
eyes flashed for a split second.
"Why not?" She demanded.
For a while, Mamoru stuttered, "I'm going to look for the perfect Christmas
gift for you....love." She seemed pleased by this answer and immediately
tried to soften him up.
"You are so good to me, Mamoru... thank you..." She quickly kissed him on
the cheek, swaying as she walked out the door. Mamoru was left, stunned.
"Ah... lover boy... *SMACK* SMOOCHING..."
Motoki teased, Mamoru turned to him. "Shut up Motoki... it's not funny....
Quinn and I have a bond... as soon as you find that certain someone too, I'm
sure you'll understand."
"Not me Mamoru! I'm a confirmed bachelor." Once again, Motoki changed the
subject, "Why don't you go and shop for whatever gift it was you were
getting for Quinn again... like a good little Whipped Boy?"
"You know Motoki? I have the greatest craving to hit you... But I won't...
yet. Ja ne Motoki... don't get into TOO much trouble, ok?" Mamoru headed
across the street.
Usagi looked up from the counter, she heard her first customer!
"Konnichiwa! Welcome to OSA*P, I'm Tsukino Usagi, the caretaker of the
store for the week." When the customer took off his hood, Usagi gasped in
surprise.
"NANI?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She scramed.
"Hello to you too Odango. Is that any way to treat a potential customer? I
certainly hope you don't treat ALL your customers like this, or else I'm
sure you'd run OSA*P out of business." Mamoru smirked at the girl, making
her even more angry.
"That's it BAKA!!!! GET OUT OF THE STORE!!!!" Luckily, no one but Mamoru
heard her screams. He quickly pulled on his hood again, swearing to
himself.
"Okay then ODANGO, have it your way!" He left the shop, cursing himself.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid. I am a BAKA! I shouldn't have done that to her,
now how am I supposed to get that present for Quinn?!'
He walked in silence back to his apartment... there was one day wasted.
The next day, Usagi opened the store once again, this time however, several
people came into the store, looking for something. She made several sales
and was glad of it, finally, something was going her way!
When it was finally time for her lunch break, she decided to head to the
arcade again.
"Kon'wa onii-san!"
"Konnichiwa imouto-chan!"
"I had some customers today! And I made sales too!"
Motoki smiled, he was very proud of her.
"That's wonderful Usagi! I'm sure that you'll sell out the whole store at
this rate!" Usagi smiled at her friend shyly, it was a good idea, she hoped
that it would happen.
Just then, who else would walk through the door, but... Mamoru Chiba. Usagi
didn't look at him, but asked for a chicken sandwhich and sprite from
Motoki.
"Hey Motoki! Hello ...Od...Usagi...." Usagi stopped eating, what did he
say?
"Did you just call me Usagi?" she asked him.
He nodded, she smiled in disbelief, wondering if this could be a trap.
"Yes, I did...Usagi... that is your name, isn't it?" She nodded, this was
all too perfect.... Mamoru-baka was actually using her first name, instead
of Odango Atama.
"If it's okay, may I ask why you're calling me Usagi?"
"Well.... it is your name after all, and ... I thought..... I should be
nicer to you.... after all, I'm not REALLY mean." Usagi just nodded her
head.
"Okay...whatever you say pal..." She glared at him, and went back to eating
her food. When she was finally done, she saw that he was staring at her.
"WHAT?! Do I have food on my face or something?"
"No, not at all, I was just wondering if you were going to go open OSA*P any
time soon.... it's nearly 1:00..." Her eyes opened wide.
"Iie!!!! I have to go!!!! Bye Motoki! Bye... Mamoru!" Mamoru rushed
after her.
"Hey Usagi!!!! Wait!!!!!" She had just opened to door to the store and
stepped into the building. "Is that girl deaf?!" He followed her inside.
Usagi still didn't notice him.
"What do I have to do to get her attention?" He tapped her on the shoulder,
which made her jump about a foot into the air. She then twirled around and
punched him on the left side of his head, andstamped on his foot. Mamoru
jumped up and down on his one good foot and fell to the ground.
"TEACH YOU TO SNEAK UP ON ME, YOU THEIF!!!" Usagi uprighted herself,
gasping in surprise. "MAMORU?!" She helped him up to his feet. "Gomen
nasai...." she said quietly. "I didn't know it was you, you shouldn't have
snuck up on me like that!"
Meakly, Mamoru nodded his head in agreement. "I know I shouldn't have snuck
up on you. But there was no other way to get your attention." He smiled at
her, she smiled back. Both of them laughed, it was a relief in the akward
situation.
He rubbed his left side, there was a bruise, just below the left eye. He
didn't want Usagi to see it, so hid it beneath his hand, but she sensed that
something was wrong.
"Here... let me have a look.... OH NO! I'm dreadfully sorry Mamoru...."
"No, that's all right Usagi.... It doesn't hurt... really..." but he
cringed a bit under her tender touch.
"Don't try to be brave... I'll be back!" She went behind the counter and
fetched out a first aid kit.
"That's okay Usagi...you don't have to..." Usagi had already taken out the
medicine and the bandaids. She did it so quickly that he didn't have time
to flinch.
"Woah... how did you do that?" She flashed him a quick smile.
"Secret... I'm really sorry Mamoru... I didn't mean it.... I hope that we
can be friends..." She stuck out her hand, he took it and shook it.
Just then, Quinn walked through the door.
"MAMORU CHIBA!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"
Usagi and Mamoru looked at the door, bewildered.
"Excuse me? Miss... please... quiet down... there is a reasonable
explanation..." Usagi said calmly.
"DON'T YOU MISS ME YOU HUSSY!!!!"
"HUSSY?!!!! WHY YOU!!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" Usagi screamed at Quinn.
"Please...both of you...stop it.... Quinn, darling, this is Tsukino Usagi,
Motoki's other best friend. I just met her... I was going to ask her
something... but she didn't hear me... so I guess I surprised her... and
she hit me..." Mamoru explained to his love.
"That's true. And to make up for it, I thought I'd just fix him up a bit
and shake hands on being friends." Quinn looked at Mamoru and Usagi
suspiciously, obviously still not believing them. Someone else opened the
door and yelled out.
"USAGI-CHAN!!!! MAMORU-KUN!!!! What's happened? I saw Mamoru fall and
then Quinn came in and...." Motoki apparently hadn't realized what had
transpired.
"Why hello again......" Quinn smiled at Motoki, although the smile seemed
full of hatred.
"What was it you were saying Motoki?" She asked.
"Mamoru came in after Usagi-chan to ask her something for me, it was about
her friend, Reika... I wanted to know something about her.... and I
couldn't very well leave the shop right then, so Mamoru went after her for
me. I saw Mamoru fall, and I wondered what might of happened, and a few
minutes later, you came in." Motoki stated matter of factly.
"And so why are you here now?"
"Full of questions aren't we now? I got my sister to take the
counter for me... I was worried."
Satisfied, Quinn's face took on the look of innocence once again.
"You know I never wanted to hurt you Mamoru.... It's just that I love you
so much that I thought...I thought..."
"Yes honey, I know... that's all right.... I guess we should leave then....
Ja ne Motoki," He turned to Usagi with a large smile on his face,
"Odango..." Immediately, Usagi's face colored.
"Ja ne... Mamoru-baka and quit calling me Odango." she smiled back at him.
"Sure thing...Odango." And with that he and Quinn left together.
Motoki waved good-bye to the couple, but there was no warmth in his
farewell.
"Motoki-onii-san? Who IS Quinn?"
"Mamoru's ... girlfriend..." he spat out.
"Why do you dislike her so much, onii-san?"
"I thought that it would be apparent Usa... By the way she acted around
you.... but you never really see the bad in people, do you?" She shook her
head, what did he mean?
"I do see the bad in people... especially in Mamoru-baka..." she grinned,
"Seriously though, I have to admit, not everyone is bad... and I don't think
even Mamoru is that bad... despite, some of his failings."
Motoki only shook his head, trying to explain.
"You can bet that she is. She's as loyal to Mamoru as sure as you have no
odangoes on your head." Usagi frowned, then that would mean...
"Onii-san, you can't be serious?! AND PLEASE stop the wisecracks about
odangoes! I have enough of it from Mamoru-baka!"
"Awww... does that mean you're only letting him call you that? And I'm dead
serious about her."
"...." Usagi remained silent, and Mamoru hadn't noticed his girlfriend
doing this?
"Well Usa, I have to go mind the store now... can't have my sister there
forever. Just one thing though... Mamoru was going to come here to buy a
ring for Quinn, he's going to propose to her for Christmas." He left the
jewellry store.
"Mamoru... is getting married? To... Quinn?" Usagi grabbed a hold of a
chair, amazed. This couldn't be! He had to be told about Quinn! But he
surely wouldn't believe her...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Okie... it may take me awhile to finish the whole thing, but I'll try to
finish this Christmas story before DECEMBER is over!
