~Mamoru's POV~

Another peaceful day, another lonely day. I was sitting at the counter innocently enough. Okay maybe not so innocent, I was waiting for a ray of sunshine, a glorious creature to hop into the Arcade. Okay, so I was waiting for Usagi my worst enemy...so sue me.

Yet something was different about her today, something in her eyes. I sat there in my spot and watched as a boy stuck out his leg. I didn't really think anything of it until I noticed that look in his eyes and that Usagi was going to walk right into it and probly trip over it. I didn't like the boy in the least as my perdiction came to pass.

Usagi, my Usagi was now spawled on the ground. People were laughing at her. How dare they. I'm the only one aloud to laugh at her. And mine was always because I liked her little klutzy nature. But I only laughed when she did it to herself. This inflicted by another was just plain wrong.

I watched the scene that was soon created. Usagi looked mad. And I'm not talking about the kind when I make fun of her. NO, I mean seriously Pissed off. 'This could not be a very good thing' the little voice inside my head said.

'Then again I've never seen her be pushed over the edge so maybe she can control any ergue that took her.' I emediately answered it..mentally of course. I'm not crazy you know.

That is until I saw her grab his shirt and push him into a wall with a hard thump. 'Okay, so maybe you were right' I said to the voice.

Then the string of darkness that escaped her lovelty delacate mouth totally shocked me. Even when I annoyed her it NEVER caused this! 'maybe?' the voice nagged me silently.

I watched as she punched him durning her speach. Then she sacked him. 'Hmmmm...it's a good thing that I never pissed her off like that...that probly hurt... then again he deserved it.' I stated within my mind.

She then perseeded to lift him off the ground. This puzzled me to say the least...'My little Usagi is THAT strong?' Ohhhh boy was I learning alot about her today. 'Then again maybe its like the little old ladies who can lift a truck. it's gotta be adrenillin.' I nodded to myself.

'Uh huh, you are SOOOOO sure of that...yeah, right.' the annoying voice egged me on. This event was making me realize just how much I didn't know about her.

I was silently thankful when the guy then nodded that he wouldn't do such a thing again, I figured it was over. That he had managed to avoid disaster just by simply agreeing with her.

I was wrong, and knew it as I heard him utter the word that would probly lead to his death. The word as simple as it was, held the key to his own pain. That word was 'bitch'.

She heard it too, I knew this especially as she spun around and gave him a round house kick. it dropped him like a rock, and did serious damage to his jaw. This was evident.

I closed my eyes for a second, I then looked at her, somehow during this whole fight I had moved closer to her. There I stood, and needless to say I was shocked at the violence held within my little Odanago.

Then I thought about it. The guy deserved it for hurting her, and I was happy that it wasn't me. I smiled a little without knowing it. Then when I realized it I went back to my normal face. it wouldn't do for her to know that I was proud of her.

But for today I was also worried, so I turned and walked back to the counter. I sipped my coffee in peace.

That is till Motoki seemed to materialize out of no where and managed to started the hell out of me. Hadn't he ever heard of a NORMAL enterence? Oh well, things to do, things to do.

"Mamoru? Want to go camping?" Motoki asked in a unual chipper voice. he was up to something. I just knew it.

"With whom? where? and when?" I asked in a chilled voice. Okay, okay, so it wasn't as chilled as I hoped. Truth is that i loved to camp. Call me mr.boy scout....wait, even better Tuxedo camper. I nearly laughed out loud at this thought. it was tuxedo kamen((mask)) normally, but tuxedo camper was just TOO funny!

Motoki gave me a questioning look then continued on to answer the questions. "Chad, Ken, Greg and me." He answered first. (AN: sorry don't know their Japanesse names...can anyone tell me?) "at Serene lakes. We're leaving tommorow" he stated to answer the last two of my questions.

"Tommorow? Ummm..thats kinda last minute don't you think? I mean I have to study, and clean my house..." I said timidly. Okay, so I was looking for a way for him to convince me into it. So I need a nudge every now and then.

"Mamoru...you study way TOO much and your house is sooo clean I could eat off basically every serface and probly see my self in everything thats even partially reflective!" He stated, his voice getting slightly louder.

"Okay, okay...." I said giving in. To him or myself I'm not really all that sure. But I gave in. That much was for sure.

"Good, be at my place for noon" was all Motoki said before he turned around and walked away.

I went home shortly after this, and started to pack my bags. I was done within 20 minutes. And so I took the time extra to study until roughly 11pm. I then headed off to bed, making sure to set my alarm clock for 7am.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was having a lovely dream when the peircing sound of my alarm woke me up. It was 7 just like I set it to. I dragged myself out of bed, and into my jogging clothes. And set out to begin my normal jog.

it was all normal and plain, so after an hour I was back at my apartment, and taking a nice hot relaxing shower. Next I changed in my very casual wear. Okay, so it was black jean shorts and a black t-shirt. So it's other peoples noral wear, can I help it that i'm not much of a casual guy?

I sat down and relaxed for a little bit, watching some tv, when i looked at the clock it said 11am. And so i grabbed my bag, my rolled up tent, and sleeping bag and hitched a ride on the elevator down to the garage where i tossed my stuff into my black convertable and was on my way to Motoki's.

When i got there it was about 15 to 12, and the others were there. Next thing I knew they threw their stuff into my car and jumped in. To say I was shocked was an understatement. THEY WANTED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE CAMPING GROUNDS WITH ALL THAT DIRT!

"To the Serene Lakes Camping grounds driver, and step on it!" Motoki said laughing a little as he did. I'd have to remember to kill him once we got there.

As it was I just mumbled a "yes sir" and started to drive to the park. I just hoped that nothing would damage my BEAUTIFUL car, which I ever so happened to name Usagi. It's tradition to name a car a female name...and Usagi was the only one thta came to my mind okay? Can I help it that she just sticks into my mind? Iie!

Anyways it's not as if anyone ever heard me call it that. I usually called it 'Baby' or 'Darlin' when anyone else was around. But 'Usako' and 'Usagi' when I was alone.

Needless to say, today wa going to be a shock. Maybe even this whole camping trip.
