~*Getting to Know You*~
~*Chapter Eight: News and Kakyuu *~
---------------------------
"Thanks for coming over Rei-chan..." Usagi sighed as she sat on her bed. Usagi was in her
pink nightgown with her hair out of her usual buns.
"Usagi," Rei began. "What's wrong?"
"What do you mean?" Usagi answered.
"You wouldn't have asked me to come over without the others unless something was really
bothering you." Rei declared.
"It's Mamo-chan..." Usagi drifted off... The same scene seemed to play over and over. It was
raining and Usagi was complaining. 'Am I not good enough?' Seiya would ask, over and over.
"What about him?" Rei asked.
"I wonder what he's doing right now. I sure hope that he isn't as lonley as I feel right now."
"Chibi-chibi!" Chibi-chibi was also in the room, but she was busy playing with Usagi's jewelery.
"What do you mean?" Rei asked. "Aren't you two writing to each other?"
"I am writing to him." Usagi replied.
"So, are you saying that he hasn't written back?" Rei asked as her voice grew louder.
Usagi just nodded.
"Have you tried to call the university?"
"No," Usagi sighed. "I don't think that they'd help much. If Mamo-chan didn't want to be
with me, why doesn't he just tell me?!" Usagi began to cry...
"Chibi-chibi." Chibi-chibi smiled as she handed Usagi the glass rose off Usagi's shelf.
"Thank you, Chibichibi-chan." Usagi thanked. "Rei-chan, this is the rose Mamo-chan gave me
for my fifteenth birthday. Why won't he respond?! Rei-chan, I don't want to be alone!"
"Usagi, I don't know what to do." Rei paused. "I promise you, you aren't alone. Someone is
out there for you. Even if it doesn't work out between Mamoru-san and you, I know that someone
is out there. The girls and I are looking at this Mamoru thing tomorrow. Just get some rest."
Usagi nodded as she drifted off to sleep.
------------------------
It was Tuesday. Tuesday after school.
Minako, Makoto, and Ami were on their way home.
"I guess Usagi-chan is still upset over Mamoru-san." Ami sighed. "She didn't come to school..."
"Rei-chan called you up too?" Makoto asked.
"She called me too." Minako winked. "After all, we're part of a team!"
Ami laughed. "I guess so, but we better hurry. We're meeting Rei at Crown's, remember?"
Makoto nodded. "Let's go."
---------------------
"Seiya!" A voice called out.
"Yes?" Seiya asked. He turned to see a face that he didn't expect. "Kakyuu-hime?!"
"Hello, Seiya." Kakyuu Ouhi smiled. Kakyuu was a girl a year older than Seiya, but Kakyuu
still loved Seiya very much. Kakyuu had long red hair, put up in two loops. She was wearing
the Juuban school uniform that made Seiya wonder...
"Your uniform..." Seiya pointed.
"I've transfered to your school!" Kakyuu smiled. "Isn't it great?"
"...yeah..." Seiya paused unsure of what he really thought.
"Seiya..." Kakyuu began. "You know that it's hard for me to say that I'm wrong. Well, I was.
Seiya,I couldn't be without you. My parents let me transfer here... On my own. I want to be
with you."
"Kakyuu-hime..." Seiya began before shaking his head. "Kakyuu-hime, there's this girl..."
Kakyuu laughed. "I knew it. Seiya, I knew that you'd find a cute girl in this town. I thought
that I'd give it a try... I knew it wouldn't work out. If your happy, then I'm happy."
"Thank you, Kakyuu-san." Seiya bowed. "I'm sorry you had to come all this way to see me."
"It's okay. Don't think I'm going home just yet, you can't get rid of me that easily!"
Seiya laughed. "Oh really?"
Kakyuu nodded. "Are you going out with this girl yet?"
Seiya shook his head.
"Does she know that you like her?"
"Yes."
"Does she feel the same?"
"I'm not sure..."
"Seiya, I'll do you a favor..."
"What's that?"
"I'll walk you home and you can tell me everything about this girl..."
Seiya laughed. "Okay."
---------------
The four girls were at Crown's and disscussing the whole Mamoru situation.
"So, are we going to call the university?" Makoto asked.
Rei nodded. "It's seems like the right thing to do."
"Usagi-chan is taking this very hard..." Ami added.
"Ami," Minako began. "I hope that you know your calling."
"What?" Ami asked.
"You have a good way with words. You're the best speaker out of all of us." Rei commented.
"And you're the only one who can speak english well enough." Minako added.
"Wait a minute..." Ami paused. "Minako-chan, I thought that you could also speak-"
Minako cut Ami off. "As I was saying, Ami-chan should do it!"
Ami gave off a sweatdrop as she picked up the payphone.
Rei handed Ami the piece of paper with Harvard's phone number.
Ami sighed as she dialed the number. "Hello?"
------------
"Hello, this is Harvard University." The voice replied. "This is Anne, how may I help you?"
-----------
"I was wondering if I could recieve information on one of your students..."
----------
"What is the name?"
---------
"Mamoru Chiba."
--------
"Spelling?"
--------
"M-A-M-O-R-U then C-H-I-B-A"
-------
"Please hold on while I check the computer files."
------
"Yes."
------
A minute later, the receptionist returned with her answer. "Mamoru Chiba never arrived."
------
The others could hear Ami's voice raise, "What do you mean?"
-----
"He enrolled, but he never came in. I'm sorry."
-----
"My friend, Usagi, saw him board the plane to America. I was there too!"
-----
"You might want to check the airline company, because he never actually set foot in the school."
-----
"I'm sorry to have bothered you." Ami finished. "Goodbye." Ami sighed as she hung up the phone.
"That didn't sound good." Minako added.
"What happened?" Makoto asked.
"Mamoru..." Ami paused. "Mamoru-san enrolled, but he never came in."
"I'm sure that was the right phone number!" Rei yelled.
"It was." Ami sighed. "You just wasn't there... She said to try the airline company. I'll try it."
Ami found the airplane company in the phonebook and called them up.
----
"Hello, this is Tokyo Airlines. How may we be of assistance?"
----
"Hi," Ami began. "I was wondering if you had any information on the 6:30 flight to Massachusetts,
America that left on September 18?"
---
"I'm sorry miss."
---
"What do you mean?"
---
"That plane, it crashed."
---
"What do you mean? Didn't anyone survive?"
---
"No, I'm really sorry. Are you related to one of the passengers?"
---
"Sort of." Ami lied. "Are you sure no one survived?"
---
"Yes. I'm terribly sorry."
---
"Thank you for your time." Ami sighed as she hung up.
"Please don't say that it's as bad as it sounded..." Makoto begged.
"Everyone, Mamoru-san's... Mamoru-san's dead..." Ami finished.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Rei cried. "Usagi... What about Usagi?"
"How did he die?" Minako asked.
"The plane, it crashed. There were no survivors." Ami responded.
"Oh my god..." Minako replied. "What are we going to do?"
"For once, I don't know." Ami sighed.
"We have to be there for Usagi-chan." Makoto replied.
Rei nodded. "We have to be there no matter what."
---
Rei sighed as she knocked on the door. "Usagi better be home."
"What if she already knows?" Ami asked. "Maybe that's why she wouldn't call Harvard."
Ikuko, Usagi's mother answered. "Hello girls."
"Is Usagi home?" Rei asked.
"I'm sorry." Ikuko replied. "Usagi said something about going to the house of some boy..."
"Did you get his name?" Rei asked.
"I think it was Seiya."
"Thank you." Rei responded. "Everyone, we're going to Seiya's house."
"Now, I can see Yaten-kun..." Minako sighed.
"What's wrong, Minako-chan?" Makoto asked. "Normally you'd be so excited to see him..."
"It's a mixture of things." Minako replied. "I don't think he likes me, and that whole Mamoru
thing, it's overwhelming."
"I think Yaten likes you." Makoto laughed.
"What makes you say that?" Minako asked.
"He was staring at you during homeroom..."
"I probably had something funny on my face." Minako laughed. "Thanks Mako-chan."
"For what?"
"Seeing things."
"Your welcome, Minako-chan."
--------
"We're here." Ami sighed.
"So who's going to give Usagi-chan the news?" Minako asked.
"I will," Rei replied. "She'll understand if I say it seriously."
Makoto knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Yaten was the one to open the door. "Oh, it's you girls."
"Hello, Yaten-kun." Minako sighed. "Is Usagi-chan in there?"
"Yes, she's talking with Seiya and his girlfriend."
"SEIYA HAS A GIRLFRIEND?" Rei questioned.
"Opps." Yaten laughed. "Ex-girlfriend. It's a habit. They used to go out for the longest time."
"How long?" Minako asked.
"Four years, until this year when they ended it... So, come in already."
"Yes!" Minako cheered as she walked in.
The other three laughed at Minako's behavior. A minute ago, she was low... but now that
Yaten was near...
------
Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Kakyuu, and Usagi were all seated on the sofas. The four girls were
forced to sit on the floor.
"Mizuno-san?" Taiki blinked. "What are you four doing here?"
"We came to see Usagi-chan." Ami laughed.
"Oh, hi guys!" Usagi smiled. "Seiya called me over to meet his friend and now I'm all cheered
up!"
Rei turned to the other four. "I'm not so sure I want to do this anymore..."
"Do what?" Usagi asked.
"Nothing." Rei smiled. "I'll tell you later." Rei sighed. 'As soon as I've gathered the courage.'
"Everyone, this is Kakyuu Ouhi. She's just transfered to our school." Taiki announced.
"So, Kakyuu-san... What's the real reason you came back?" Seiya snickered.
"I told you." Kakyuu replied.
"You don't do things without others talking you into it." Seiya laughed.
"This girl, Nezu, told me she went to your school. She told me that you were hopeless without me
." Kakyuu laughed. "Kind of funny, don't you think?"
"Are you lying?"
Kakyuu shook her head. "I told her that she was silly, but she talked me into it."
Rei sighed. "Usagi, I've got to tell you something."
"What?" Usagi asked.
"Outside."
"Why can't the others hear it?"
"Trust her," Makoto added. "Talk to Rei-chan outside."
Usagi shrugged as she listened to her friends.
------
"Rei-chan, what is it?" Usagi asked. "What's so important? Is something wrong?"
"Usagi, I don't know what to say..." Rei began. "Ami called Harvard."
"What? Why?"
"We were all worried about Mamoru-san, it's not just you who is. Anyway, to make a long story
short..."
"Yes?"
"Usagi... Usagi... Mamoru-san is... dead."
"Rei-chan, you're joking!" Usagi cried. "That's mean! I knew I shouldn't have told you how
I felt."
"Usagi, you're not the only one in pain. Ami-chan, Minako-chan, Mako-chan, and I are
doing our best. We miss Mamoru-san too! His plane crashed. Usagi, he's gone."
"I won't believe it! I refuse!" Usagi screamed as she ran.
"Usagi..."
----------------------
A/N: Mamoru's dead. Now before you flame me, hear me out. I did it for the better of the story.
I love Seiya+Usagi fics because they are really cute, but I always hated how Mamoru was
always the bad guy. He would always refuse Usagi, or cheat on her... I wanted it to end. This
way Mamoru's not the bad guy.
Sorry for rambling like that, but please continue to read my story!
Oh yeah, I'm sorry that Princess Kakyuu is OOC [Out of Character], but it's my
universe, isn't it?
