Duet

Usagi has a school project where she has to sing but
she also needs a male counter part. Who will it be
and what will happen?
***
Mamoru forced himself to breathe as he came up to the
school. Was he really doing this? It took him forever
to convince himself that this was for the music
department and nothing else.
He searched the small campus and finally found the
familiar girl sitting on a bench happily stuffing her
face with chocolates. -Mr. Ford certainly knew how to
get Usagi to forgive him!-
Smiling he took the moment to watch her in the state of
bliss he knew would be gone the moment he spoke. It was
hard for him to befriend Usagi. The other girls she
knew were easy for him to achive a reasonable amount of
trust.
But the golden haired goddess was different. Every move
she made shook the earth beneath him. The sound of her
laughter brought him sunlight and every tear she shed
could drown him to his death. And he was afraid of that.
Afraid of such a fragile and yet powerful creature which
could torment him with his own passions. Without even
knowing it. So he hid from it.
It was wrong to think such a brooding and bookish man
such as himself could ever hold the beautiful girl to
him anyway. He knew that keeping Usagi would be like
stripping the sky of every star. How selfish would it be
to entrap her and keep her to himself!
However, try as he might, that was exactly what Mamoru
wanted to do. To lock her away in a beautiful house by
the sea where she could have every desire she ever
wanted but never leave him. Sighing he shook his head to
clear his mind and stepped up closer to her.
"Good Afternoon Usagi." It was probably the first polite
thing he had actually said in some time to her. He hated
himself for it but he could never force his mouth to say
what he really wanted to.
Watching carefully he waited for her reaction. His heart
beat quickly and his hands became clammy. Water would
have been nice at the moment due to his suddeny desert
dry throat which wanted to collapse on itself.

She lifted her hand ready to pop another chocolate into
her mouth when she heard a velvet voice come from
behind her. Closing her eyes she listened to the sound
and smiled.
-I love the sound of his voice when he says my name.-
She said and sat there cherishing the moment. A thought
struck within her and she felt her heart constrict as
her mind mulled over this new idea. Somehow she knew this
voice. But from where?
Suddenly it came to her like a spark flying through her
fingertips and froze her into place. -It's Mamoru!! What
is he doing here?! And why does he sound so.. pitiful?
What does he want from me?-
Breathing heavily she composed herself and turned to
look at him. "If you think you are getting one of these
chocolates you can forget it!!"
He laughed and genuinely smiled and for some reason she
felt touched that he would grace such a rare gift apon
her. "Relax. You already ate them all."
Glancing down at the empty box she weakly laughed and
threw it into the basket she had sitting next to her.
"So what is it you want with me Mamoru?"
She stared up at him and noticed how his eyes had
suddenly become so much darker. Smiling weakly she waited
as he seemed to be frozen in place.
His heart screamed so many possabilites. Many of which
would have made any other blush at the thought. He kept
his thoughts to himself and smiled at her. "I was sent
here by Mr. Ford. I am to help you with your english
and be your partner for your test."
She blinked as it sunk in. -Mamoru!?! I can't do this! I
just can't! I'm not strong enough to try to become his
friend so suddenly.- Her heart ached as she thought of
how many times she had truly tried to break through to
him. It seemed he was fighting her for some unkown
reason and this made her angry. She didn't enjoy his
company because all he ever would do is keep to himself.
He watched the emotions flash across her face from shock
to fear and then resentment. Suddenly she picked up her
things and raced off at a breakneck speed.
"Where is she going?!" He began to run after her and
then stopped and ran back in the opposite direction only
to return moments later on his motorcycle. -I knew she
could run but I never knew she could go THIS fast!-
"He's following me!! Argh! Maybe I can get there before
him! I'll bet anything Yuuichirou will sing with me!"
She continued to run for Rei's.
