Aishiteru Bunny
By Risika Starling
Author's Notes: Hi and welcome to another chapter of "Aishiteru Bunny." I just want to say that in this fic Mamoru and Relena are not going be jerks or all that cruel, I am tired of fics that just bash characters, I mean some people spent a good amount of their time coming up with those characters, so it is sort of an insult to them on their characters. However that is just my view.
In this chapter, Usagi has sort of an inner battle going on her head, so to make things clearer for you I have set up this system.
…..- is one part of her consciousness.
……- is the other part of her consciousness.
This will probably be more clear when it gets to that part of the chapter. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimers: Same as the beginning, it has not changed
Chapter 2 ~A Promise~
She turned to the other two men who were standing next to Mamoru. The one standing right next to Mamoru had a long braid and cobalt blue eyes shone with a hint of mischief in them. He was cute in a fun sort rock group kind of way. But when her eyes gazed at the other one, her heart stopped.
It can't be…..I haven't seen him in seventeen years…..yet he looks an amazingly a lot like Odin, only older of course. She tried to think of what to say but could not think of a thing to say. She gave a slight bow to all of them hoping that someone else would say something.
"So Usagi, are you happy about marrying Mamoru?" the braided boy that Relena had introduced as Duo asked.
Usagi hesitated, what was she supposed to say? Her father gave her a slight nudge to got her to answer.
"Well…um…it is an honor to marry into a fine family," Usagi said trying to sound neutral but she detected a slight bitterness in her voice.
Mamoru (AN: This is the only time in this story that Mamoru is ever going to sound oblivious or stupid, but who can blame he just met one of the most beautiful girls in the universe) looked relaxed, obviously not noticing the bitterness in her voice, "Well that is a relief, I mean if you were bitter, than I wouldn't think I would be able to go through with it." He than gave a bow to her and held out his hand, "May I dance with you?"
Usagi sighed and took one glance at the young man who looked an awfully a lot like Odin. What did Relena say his name was? Heero? Whatever it was when she was dancing with Mamoru she could not seem to think of anything else but that boy.
Heero cringed he heard Usagi's reply to Duo's question. She wasn't happy about this arranged marriage, and that hurt him. He shook the feeling away. He hadn't seen her in seventeen years, she had probably changed just as much as he had. Yet, she was the only person who knew him before he became who he was. She was the only childhood memory he had.
He watched her dance with Mamoru. What he wanted was to talk to her. Did she recognize him? Did she remember him? What was she thinking? For the first time in his life, he found himself caring about what another person thought of him.
"Hey H-man are you alright?"
The voice of the Deathscythe pilot pulled him from his thoughts. Relena was looking at him strangely and Duo was waving his hand in front of Heero's face.
"Yeah I am fine," he said., "Look, I am going outside to get some fresh air, and I would like to be left alone."
Relena and Duo nodded, and he walked away to the courtyard. When he was in the courtyard, he found a solitary bench and sat down. He reached into one of his inside jacket pockets and pulled out a small plain cardboard box, and opened it. He took out the necklace, and for the millionth time in his life he examined it closely. It was the one true personal belonging he had. Zero and his gun were tools, they served a purpose, but this necklace was a keepsake, a treasure.
Heero was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed someone come up from behind him.
"Oh my god it is you."
Heero turned around to look at who had spoken to him.
Usagi danced solemnly with Mamoru.
It can't be him….I mean after all this time….but it might be him. If that man was indeed Odin, she had to talk to him, see him. Than the situation hit her. My father would never allow it. I can't speak to any man other than Mamoru without arousing suspicion. But she couldn't not speak to this man. If he was Odin than she would never forgive herself. Part of her was saying she would be better off if it was him, but another part of her was hoping that it was him
If it is him, than maybe there is a way to get out of this marriage, no, I can't use him like that, besides why would I want to.
Maybe because the chance of there being something deep and meaningful is there, and you can have a chance to fall in love
That is ridiculous. I mean we were friends. And a love like that has to be built over time
Yes, but you were only children back than, you weren't old enough to experience a love like that, but now you are grown up. Besides who are you to say that falling in love doesn't just happen? You have never been in love, so maybe there is that chance that love is a sudden thing
The music stopped and Usagi breathed a sigh of relief. Usagi's head was pounding from the inner argument she had just had within her mind. She barely heard Mamoru when he excused himself, so that he would be able to talk to some politicians.
She glanced around the room when she saw him. He was walking out the door and into the courtyard.
Here's my chance to find out if it is Odin or not, she thought.
She took a quick glance over towards where Mamoru was engaged in a deep conversation with the politicians. She silently began to make her way through the crowd towards the exit. When she finally made it to the courtyard, she took a deep breath and began to search for him. She found him sitting on a bench holding something in his hand. She crept closer to try and get a better look at what it was. She was able to get close enough without him noticing her, and when she made out what the object was, her heart completely stopped beating for a moment. It was the necklace….the necklace she had given Odin seven years before.
She now knew that it was him, and she had to say something. She tried to think of something dignified and rational to say but could think of nothing. Than finally she gave up and decided to say the first thing that came to her mind.
"Oh god, it is you!"
Heero stared in amazement at Usagi who looked tense and nervous. What should he say? What should he do? Should he try to calm her down? Should he push her away? Or should he just say hi and pretend he didn't remember her? He looked down at the necklace in his hands and than back up at Usagi. He held it out to her and said the only thing he could think of to say.
"Do you want this back?" he asked her.
She seemed to relax and she looked at him in the eyes, her sapphire eyes shining. In the moonlight. She cupped his hand over the necklace and pushed it back towards him.
"No, it belongs to you, I gave it to you," she said and was than silent.
He nodded and looked at her. He was about to say something when he realized she was about to speak.
"So, seventeen years, it's a long time," she said.
He nodded, he seemed to be aware that he wasn't really breathing and took a deep breath.
"I never forgot you," she said and than looked at him, "so you go by Heero now."
He nodded again, what else could he do.
"How have you been Heero-san, I mean I know you must have changed and………"
"Usagi-san!!"
Her father's voice filled the air. Usagi looked towards the ballroom and sighed, she than turned back to him.
"Listen, promise me that you will meet me tomorrow at the Khushrenada Memorial Park at two o'clock," she said, "Please, I want to talk to you."
Heero looked at her.
"I promise," he said, "I will be there."
She gave him a small smile and walked away.
Heero looked at her. What is going on? Why am I feeling this way? He turned and walked out of the palace, he couldn't go back in there, he had to go to his apartment to sort things out.
Usagi laid in her bed that night looking out the window. Tonight had been the most surprising night in her life. Tomorrow, she would see him again, and against her will her heart gave a small leap.
