Chapter 12 of The Other Soldier
Rated R
By Miaka Hime
*sniff* I got flamed for my first time on one of my other crossovers. Well, I don't think the reviewer meant to insult me but she did T_T It was sad, I guess people aren't that smart too, cause it was a Escaflowne/ SM cross, and I spelled Van's name the Japanese way, so it was Ban, and EVERYONE thought I spelled it wrong, so if you read it I spelled it right! They don't have V's in Japan so the way they spell it is with Ba (they don't have individual letters like we do well they have some but most of them are like that) And it gives off a kind of V sound. I was just going with the Katakana spelling people! So now I'm at a writing low, I needed a pick me up badly and I neglected my stories cause I was thinking, "If that person doesn't like the way I wrote then maybe I suck really bad and everyone's to nice to admit it!" But then AnimeChick28 reviewed this story and she made me feel a little better, although I still have my doubts but oh well! I'll just go and start writing now! And not because Hiiro has a gun pointed at my head! OH! And there's some Mamoru bashing in this chapter! Gomen to all those who like him. I personally don't like the anime Mamoru, but I kind of like the Mamoru in the manga cause he just seems stronger in the manga then in the Anime.

Usagi awoke the next morning refreshed, she had, had a nice buzz from the beer the other night and now she was ready to kill- I mean, train the inner senshi. She quickly awoke Luna who for once slept through the alarm , and she changed into what she had been wearing when she took Luna on her run the day before. She then grabbed her broach and stuffed it into her pocket to make sure she didn't leave it.
After doing this her and Hotaru, who had awoken when she had, ate some toast. They then met up with Haruka and Michiru and walked with them to the park, where the Gundum Pilots already were and Mamoru.
Usagi had almost forgot she'd called him to ask him to train with them. It had taken almost her whole beer until she could do it. She ignored the longing look her gave her, and told Haruka she was going to run a few miles.
As soon as she started running she noticed Mamoru begin to follow, Usagi was panicking for the first time in this lifetime, she didn't want be around Mamoru by herself, and then as if her prayers were answered by Selene herself, Hiiro ran up beside her and they matched paces.
Mamoru was scowling by the end of their run. Hiiro and her had always been ahead of him, and he never got to pour on the old charm with Usagi. But this didn't seem to bug her. On the contrary, if she wasn't the perfect soldier, she'd be smiling. On the plus side, when they got back to the park, the inners had arrived, and they were being paired with the outers. The gundum pilots were just practicing by themselves.
"Usagi! Where have you been? You said to be here at five and you're late." Rei said, although she wasn't yelling as you might expect. "I was here at five, you four were late, so me and Hiiro went for a short run. "When Usagi didn't mention Mamoru's name, he scowled even more. Rei turned slightly pink and shrugged it off. "Who are you paired with Usagi-chan?" Makoto asked changing the subject. "I suppose Mamoru." Mamoru's scowl turned into a grin. "Because he'll need the most work." The grin was replaced by a scowl once again. "Ok then, lets not waist time." Michiru said. Usagi motioned for Mamoru to follow, the outers and inner senshi. The group of senshi went to a wide area. Usagi and the outers lined up on one side, the inners and Mamoru on one side. Haruka was grinning when she saw the pilots watching from a distance, not wanting to get in the way of flying attacks. "Now come at us as if you want to kill us." Usagi said. The inners hesitated but went at them, and Mamoru slowly went at Usagi. It was obvious he thought he might hurt her with his "Superior strength" pff yeah right.
Usagi was the first to attack, she gave a deep throated yell and charged at Mamoru and before he could say "wussy rose". He was thrown to the ground. The only two that were able to stand out of the inners were Rei, and Makoto, and only because they had experience in martial arts.
Mamoru, who's pride was deeply hurt, got up and Usagi charged at him full throttle. Usagi smirked as she threw a punch and he blocked it, she easily got him in the head however with a high kick.
Mamoru was royally pissed and transformed causing Michiru to gasp. "Mamoru no! She doesn't have her powers yet." But unbeknown to her she did. Usagi reached into her pocket just as Michiru was reaching for hers and called out the phrase she knew so well. "Moon Eternal MAKE UP!" Usagi felt the raw energy she loved so much wash over her and then as suddenly as it was there, it was gone and she was the sailor senshi known as Eternal Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Kamen immediately threw about a dozen roses, and one grazed her arm, Neptune who had powered up, went after him. Mars had also powered up and tried to break it up. But didn't get a chance because she got stabbed in the foot with one of Tuxedo Kamen's roses. Neptune ran in front of Usagi. Usagi gently pushed her out of the way and let a had raise up in the air and threw a attack of silver light racing toward Tuxedo Kamen, it was just enough energy to knock him off his feet.
Usagi walked over to him and stared down at him. "Just because your pride is hurt you do not attack out of embarrassment or anger, you'll get yourself killed." She said in an icy tone. Tuxedo Kamen faded and he became Mamoru. Usagi touched her tiara and became Usagi. When she turned around Neptune and Mars were once again Michiru and Rei, and Hotaru was healing Mars's foot. "Let's leave early for the day." Hotaru suggested once she was done. Usagi nodded and began to walk away. Mamoru started to follow, most likely to apologize, but was stopped by the barrel of Hiiro's gun. "Omae o kurosu." He said in a monotone. "I agree with Hiiro, don't go near my sister," Michiru said from behind him. "You're not worthy of her." Michiru and the other outers then followed their departing princess.

Usagi sat in her dorm room and brushed her long hair, she had skipped class, because it had been too boring. She just sat in her room and brushed her hair because she'd already hacked into files for fun. If she had been her past self she would have jumped when Minako burst into the room. "Usagi-chan! The three lights have a new CD coming out!" She said excitedly. "I've already got it." Usagi said pointing at the end table where the picture of Seiya, Taiki and Yaten were on the CD cover. "Oh my gosh! I thought it didn't come out for another week!" She said grabbing it. "It doesn't, Seiya-chan gave it to me before its release date." She said in a monotone. Minako got an evil glint in her eye and looked at Usagi. "Will you burn it for me? I know you have the stuff and Ami-chan would refuse!" Usagi shrugged and grabbed her stuff and a blank CD. "I'll come get you when it's done." Usagi said in a monotone. Minako nodded happily and bounded out of the room.
As soon as the CD was done however Usagi didn't go and get Minako, instead she went outside and walked around. It was around six when she realized she was downtown so she headed toward a dance club she knew of. No one she knew, knew of it and for that she was glad. The club was the only place she let her hair down.
Usagi smiled when she was in front of the club and did a little trick to make her hair shorter. She never liked to go to clubs with her long hair, it made her to hot when she danced. Her hair was now about as long as Michiru's. She gave an cold smile and walked inside after getting frisked and she had paid her fee.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi danced with an unknown man, he had light blond hair and looked a lot like Motoki from her previous life, but it was obvious it wasn't him because of his dark brown eyes, and his hair was bleached blond in fact maybe he didn't look like Motoki at all, but Usagi didn't care, all she cared about was having a blast. Ever since she had come in the door she had danced with man after man, most of them couldn't keep up with the rhythm or her for that matter, but soon she had found this one. She didn't know his name, nor did she care to know it. She didn't plan on having their relationship go beyond dancing a couple of times before she switched to her next partner.
Usagi closed her eyes as she danced fast to the loud music blaring throughout the club. After awhile with dancing with the bleached blond haired man she stopped and went to the bar. She was lucky they didn't ask for her ID. She asked for a beer and quickly got one. She took a swig before she realized she wasn't alone at the bar. There was another down the bar, sitting on a stool, drinking what looked like vodka. Usagi didn't see his face though, nor did she care what it looked like, it was just another unnamed dance partner to her. She downed the rest of the beer, and felt the familiar buzz, most people wouldn't feel buzzed, but she was lightweight. Lucky for her, that even when drunk she had her bearings about her.
She walked over to the unnamed man who looked up at her when she approached. She was most surprised to see Hiiro, who seemed to be for once surprised, most likely to see her hair. Usagi didn't speak to him, she just jerked her head toward the dance floor. It was too loud for words anyway. Hiiro stood, which didn't surprise Usagi in the least. He had to be trashed from the vodka.
They danced to the beat and she was glad to see, that the perfect soldier could keep up with her and the rhythm. After a few dances she grabbed him by the arm and they left the club.
She breathed in the cleaner air and Hiiro followed her as they walked. She noticed he was walking normally, perhaps he wasn't as drunk as she had thought. "I'm not drunk." He said in a monotone, as if reading her mind. "That one was my first one and it was watered down." He admitted. After that the two walked in silence.
~*~*~*~*
Once they reached the dorm, Usagi wasn't in a hurry to go back to her dorm. When she had gone near it she heard the voices of Makoto and Minako. "The inners are in there, lets just grab a beer at your dorm." She said in a monotone to Hiiro. Hiiro nodded and the two went to his dorm and went right for the fridge.
Usagi opened her beer and collapsed onto Hiiro's couch, Hiiro sat down next to her and the two took swigs of the amber liquid. Usagi looked at Hiiro out of the corner of her eye when she knew he wasn't looking at her. He looked as handsome as ever. She shook her head, she shouldn't be thinking thoughts such as that. She stood. "I better go, if I'm gone to late Hotaru will lock me out." She said starting toward the door. Hiiro stood and watched her leave.
As soon as Usagi left Hiiro's dorm room she wished she were back in there. She turned toward the door almost ready to open it again. She had the sudden urge to go in there and make up for her past life's mistake. Usagi stood there for a few moments debating what she wanted to do. She finally took another swig of her beer and opened the door again, Hiiro was sitting on the couch again, he looked up at Usagi and she noticed then, that for the first time, his cold Persian eyes held a small amount of emotion, and that emotion was for her.
They met half way across the room, Hiiro had gotten up the moment she closed the door behind herself, and were engaged in a heated kiss. Probably Hiiro's first kiss to be exact. Not Usagi's though, she had kissed Mamoru a few times, but it had never been as intense as this had been.
Usagi slowly broke the kiss and realized she didn't want to be cold toward Hiiro, she wanted him to see her, and she wanted to see him too, all of him not just his emotions. Hiiro made the first move this time and kissed her again, if possible with even more passion then before, and her brain slowly realized she was steering them back toward his bedroom, and that Hiiro was taking off her black tank top and she herself had already made sure his tank top was off.
