Tokyo General

Chiba Mamoru sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Yet
*another* board meeting. Kami-sama, this was getting old. While
strolling casually down the hospital hallways, he felt all the stares
from the women in the hospital. This was getting old too. Of course,
he could choose any woman in the world, but, there was only one woman
he wanted. She was the only one who caught his attention. Karla Blake.

He was snapped out of his reverie when he saw a blonde odango, but
it disappeared faster than it had appaeared. 'Odango atama?' His mind
wandered to the cheerful blonde girl. He had lost track of her when he
left for Harvard. But even now, as the most popular and respected doctor
at Tokyo General, he knew he missed her. Sure, they had fought, but he
could not help but wonder how she was doing now. He had seen her rare
insights, giving him a good guess about how she would turn out, and he
was positive she was doing well, although he couldn't see anything in the
news about her. Sure, maybe she was the only one who would rival Karla,
but kami-sama, he wouldn't wait for her forever.

"Hey, baby," a sultry voice floated down the hallway. Mamoru looked
up to see a tall blonde woman walking down the hall with a pose of self
assurance, shaking her hips not-so-slightly. She was wearing a
fitting white dress that was backless and reached a bit past her knees and
a dark navy sun hat. (AN: You know, those really circleish hats with the
huge rims that people used to wear in like the eighteenth century? They're
really funky.)

"Konn'wa, Karla." Before Mamoru could say anything else, Karla
pulled him into a passionate kiss.

"So..." She whispered in his ear. "What are we doing tonight? I
can't wait for you to see what I bought at Victoria's Secrets today."

He could feel a warm feeling crawling up his neck, and the
onlookers watched in amusement as the usually calm Dr. Chiba was taunted
by his fiancee.

"Hmm...darling? Are you going to answer?" She kissed his neck.

"I have a board meeting today, sorry, honey."

She stopped kissing him and cut all physical contact. Mamoru
couldn't help but be disappointed. "Don't I mean more to you than
your silly job?" Karla pouted.

He winced inwardly. He *hated* when she pouted. It made her
seem desperate and annoying. But that was the only flaw visible to
him at the moment. Oh, how true are they when they say 'Love is blind'.
"Oh, honey, of course. Demo if I don't work, you wouldn't have any money
to buy those nice clothes of yours, ne?"

Karla sighed. She couldn't wait to get married with Mamoru.
Couldn't wait to marry Mamoru and then divorce him to get at least half
of what he's worth. Of course, hell would freeze over before he would
know that. "Oh, hai, sweety. Well, I'm off! I'll see you around, right,
baby?" She flashed him a pout. 'He won't be able to resist this!'

Mamoru just grimaced unnoticably. "Of course. Ja ne." She gave
him another long kiss and looked around smugly to the women who watched
her with contempt.

Walking down the hall, Karla bumped into another woman with a
strange hairstyle who was talking on a cell phone. "Watch it, freak!"

"Hang on one sec, Ki-chan." The woman covered the phone with
one hand and looked at the Karla with slitted eyes. "Don't you think
you're a little too...*old* to be calling names?"

"OLD? I don't know, and I honestly don't care. Just watch who
you bump in to the next time you decide to go slamming your fat ass
around this hospital."

Usagi was shocked. In her whole life, she had never known a
person to have such a venomous mind. She glared at the woman's back
who was now sashaying down the hall. She stopped glaring when she heard
a muffled voice. "Usa-oneechan? Usagi?"

"Oh my kami, gomen, Ki-chan! Someone rudely interrupted me!"

"It's okay."

"Anyway, I *still* can't believe you refused to come!"

"I'm happy here. And if I ever change my mind, Dr. Weasely says
the option is still open."

"Then why won't you take it?"

"I...I just can't face him."

"Oh, Ki...you know he'd be glad to see you. I mean, what inhuman
man wouldn't be glad to see the infamous Fenikkusu Kirei?"

"Look who's talking!" Kirei laughed into the phone.

"Listen, can I call you back? There's a board meeting right now,
in honor of me."

"Don't you feel special?" Kirei teased. "Okay, just remember to
call me back!"

"I would rather die!"

"You better! Ja ne!"

"Ja!"

Usagi snapped her small phone shut and placed it in her purse and
headed towards the board room when she heard a light, shocked whisper.
"Usagi-chan?"

She turned to see her blue haired friend. "AMI-CHAN!" Usagi
squealed and launched herself into her friend's arms.

"USAGI! It's great to see you again!"

"It's been so long!" Her eyes watered, thinking about how long
it had been since she had seen her friends. Nine years. Nine years
too long.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I just transfered!"

"Demo...I thought the new doctor's name was Thompson Serena?"

"In the flesh!"

"You changed your name?!?" Ami stuttered incrediously.

"Hai, it made it easier to work in Canada. Demo it doesn't matter
I'm changing it back while I'm here."

"Good! I could never get used to calling you 'Serena'!" Ami laughed.

Usagi laughed along. "So, what have you girls been up to?"

"Well, as you can see, I'm a doctor now. I went to Germany to study
for a while, but came back to work. And Mina's a-"

"Famous model and actress. I've seen her work, even in Canada. It's
amazing!"

"Hai, and she stays in Juuban, still."

"Really?"

"Hai! She's engaged to this guy named Celestia Kris. Anyway, Rei's
finally Head Priestess of the Shinto Temple, and she's met this guy called
Blaze Justin. He has us calling him Jed though. I don't know why."

"Oh, I know Jed! He's a distant cousin of mine! Demo...the name
'distant' doesn't really work, because we used to be *so* close! So
Rei-chan finally found someone who could tolerate his temper?" Usagi giggled.

"Hai, I guess so! Mako-chan's in charge of the Millennium Palace
Restaurant. Well actually, she co-owns it with her husband, Bolt Nicholas."

"I'm not surprised. She's *such* a great cook." Usagi raised an
eyebrow questioningly, "Is he anything like her old sempai?"

Ami laughed, "Iie, surprisingly, she said nothing about him relating
to her old sempai!"

"Very surprisingly! So...what about *you*, Ami-chan?"

Ami blushed.

"So there *is* a guy out there for you!"

Without answering, Ami lifted her left hand to show Usagi a shiny
silver ring.

"YOU'RE MARRIED?!? WHY DIDN'T YOU INVITE ME TO YOUR-" The rest of
her rant was stopped by Ami who covered her mouth.

"People are *staring*, *Serena*!" Ami hissed.

"Gomen, but how could you not invite me!"

"It's an engagement ring, not a wedding ring!"

"Oh. Oops." A faint blush tinted Usagi's face. "What's the lucky
man's name?"

Still red, Ami replied, "Sirroco Zachary."

"Oh, so...umm...are you still in contact with Chiba Mamoru?"

"You mean 'Mamoru-baka'? " A smirk played at Ami's lips. "Hai, I've
paired up with him on a few surgical practices."

"NANI? He works *here*?"

"Hai. Usagi, do you still feel the same for him as you did
ten years ago?"

Usagi sighed resignedly, "Hai."

"Then I guess I really shouldn't be the one telling you this.
I'm sorry Usa...Mamoru's engaged."
