The Cherry Blossom Romance-Part 2
By: Raye Maxwell
**Recapping our story, Raye and Duo meet and are instantly attracted to one another. Duo's already fantasizing about Raye and Raye can't keep her hands off of Duo. But what is going to happen to them in this next part? You'll have to read on to find out!**
As Duo and Raye catch up to the others, they can't help but think where are they going? Duo interrupts the silence and asks Heero, "So where are we going Hee-chan? Do we have a plan yet?"
"Hai," Heero answers, "We are going to stay at Relena-san's mansion, which is on the other side of town. And we, including the senshi, are going to monitor the negative energy around the area. Then once we pinpoint the center of negativity, we'll destroy it, and all the youmas will then be eliminated."
But just as Duo heard Heero say the name Relena, his eyes pop out of his head and he gets a scared look on his face. "Woa, wait a minute!!! We are staying WHERE?!"
"At Relena's, is that a problem?" Heero responds.
"EW!!! No way in Hell am I going to stay at Relena's house!! You can just forget it!!!" Duo yells.
Then Raye interrupts Duo's protesting. "Nani?! You mean Relena Peacecraft? THE Relena Peacecraft?!"
"Hai," Heero answers abruptly.
"Oh really, wow! I can't wait to meet the leader of the Cinq Kingdom!!" Raye exclaims.
"Uh Raye-chan, I wouldn't be too happy about it if I were you…" Duo answers.
"Why?"
Because Relena-san's the biggest brat I've ever seen in my life. She's constantly following Hee-chan around wherever he goes, she always interrupts us in the middle of a fight saying fighting is wrong and all that crap, and she's so damn selfish!!! I can't stand her!!" Duo exclaims as he gets an angry look on his face.
Raye sweatdrops. "Oh, I guess I see your point…"
"Exactly," Heero replied as the three walk up ahead to catch up with the others.
In about twenty-five minutes, everyone got to Relena's mansion. They open the large gates and walk around the circular driveway. Heero steps onto the porch in front of everyone and rings the doorbell. After a few seconds, the butler opens the door and invites them all in. Then from an upstairs balcony, Relena can be seen running from it, then while running down the stairs she cries out, "Heero!! You've come back to me Heero!!"
The five guys all sweatdrop and Heero mutters, "Oh shit, not again…" Relena then glomps Heero and nearly knocks the wind out of him. "Uh Relena-chan… can you let go…I can't breathe," says Heero as Relena lets Heero go.
"Uh, konnichiwa Relena-san. I'm Tsukino Usagi and these are my friends. We're here with the gundam pilots about the youma problem," Usagi says with a confused look on her face.
"Oh right. Well let me introduce myself. My name is Relena Peacecraft of the Cinq Kingdom. And what are your names ladies?"
"I'm Kino Makoto, also known as Sailor Jupiter. And to the right of me are Mizuno Ami-Sailor Mercury, Aino Minako-Sailor Venus, and Hino Raye-Sailor Mars. Tsukino Usagi, who has already introduced herself, is Sailor Moon."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet all of you in person. Won't you come in and help yourselves to anything you want," Relena says politely. Duo pushes past everyone, while he is still holding on tightly to Raye's hand.
"All right!! Let's all have something to eat, I'm starving!!" Duo exclaims.
"You're always hungry Maxwell," Wufei says sarcastically.
"Haha, I know," Duo grins widely as he takes Raye and rushes down the hall. He opens random doors, trying to find some food. "Come on babe, we have to find the kitchen before I die of starvation!!"
"Well, lets just ask Relena-san where it is." Raye says gently as Duo is still looking. "Duo-chan!!!" Raye says as she laughs hysterically at her braided bishonen. Oh, he's so kawaii when he acts dumb, she thinks to herself. She then hears Duo's cheerful voice from down the hall.
"Hahaha!! Raye-chan! I found the kitchen!! It's the last door at the end of the hallway. Come on!" Duo shouts triumphantly.
"Wait for me Duo-chan, I'm comin'!!" Raye answers back and hurries up to catch Duo. They both walk in the kitchen. They find leftover chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies, tons of candy, and cans of Pepsi. They grad as much food as they can and head off towards the dining room to eat. When they get there, everyone is waiting for them.
"It took ya long enough," Usagi says as she reaches for some cookies.
"Oh don't even get me started odango atama!" Raye yells back. But before Usagi had a change to yell back at Raye, Duo cracks up hysterically.
"Hahahahahaha!!! Odango atama…hahahahaha! That's SO funny! Why didn't I think of that? Hahahahahaha!!!"
Usagi then stands up with an angry face. She looks right at Raye and Duo with anger in her eyes. " Don't you guys ever make fun of me again!!! You hear me!"
"All right! Geez, do you have PMS or what?! You don't have to take it out on us, okay blondie!!" Duo snaps back at Usagi.
" Oh yeah, you tell her Duo-chan!" Raye exclaims as she puts one hand on her hip and the other around Duo's neck. Duo then reaches around and pulls Raye closer to him so that he holds her tightly. Usagi was about to say something to Duo, but when she sees the two cuddling, she just shuts up. Heero and Trowa glare at them too, but they say nothing and go back to what they were doing. Wufei rolls his eyes and thinks to himself, what's with all these onnas? They're getting on my nerves. Mako, Minako, and Usagi look at each other and start laughing. What's so funny?" Raye protests as she gets an angry look on her face.
But they don't respond. They just keep on laughing. Raye starts to snicker. But instead of confronting them, she sits down next to Duo and eats. Everyone had a great time. They laughed, they ate good food, and just plain old had fun. Just as they were finishing the last piece of chocolate cake, the clock strikes 6:00. Raye turns to the clock and shouts, "Oh no! I have to go home!"
"NO! Don't go!! Stay a little longer please Raye-chan!!!" Duo pleads. But Raye takes his hand with a sad look in her eyes.
"Gomen Duo-chan. I have to go now. But you can walk me out if you like," Raye says.
"Of course I will. Come on," Duo replies. They start to walk out when Relena speaks up.
"It was nice meeting you Raye."
"You too," Raye answers. And with that, everyone says sayonara to Raye. Duo escorts her out the dining room and to the front door. Duo opens it and Raye steps out onto the porch. She looks behind her and stares into Duo's big blue eyes. She says, "I had a great time today Duo. I hope to see you again soon."
"Well, how about tomorrow? I can take you to a movie, out to dinner, or anything you want baby," Duo says.
"Oh, how about that ride in Deathscythe Hell that you promised me?" Raye answers in a sexy voice.
Duo grins. "Sure babe. I'll call ya later okay?" He then sighs and looks into her violet eyes. "Well, sayonara Raye."
"Sayonara, my braided bishonen…" Raye says gently as she rubs her hands though Duo's chestnut brown hair and kisses his soft lips. Duo wraps his arms around her and pulls her so that her body is touching his. It's my fantasy come true, Duo thinks. They stand there, just like in his dream and share the most passionate kiss either of them has ever had. But then they pull away just as swiftly as the came together. "I've got to go now baby. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Duo-chan!!" Raye says as she lets go of Duo's hand and runs down to the gates in front of the mansion. Duo stands in the doorway with his mouth wide open as he sees his beauty wave back to him and run down the street.
Duo just stands there astounded to what just happened. He was just dreaming about sharing a long passionate kiss with this beauty named Raye. Hino Raye, what a beautiful name to go with such a beautiful girl. Duo sits down just inside the front door, but forgets to close it. He's always wanted to have a meaningful relationship with someone. Sure, he's flirted with many many girls, but none of them really meant anything to him. Until now. Now everything has changed. This raven-haired bishoujo caught his eye the moment he saw her, which was only that afternoon. He must get to know her better. And he must get her phone number. Duo finally stands up after fifteen minutes, shuts the front door, and heads back to the dining room. But as Duo is walking in, everyone else is walking out.
"Duo-kun, what took you so long? You missed all the good food." Quatre said.
"I was uh…well, nevermind." Duo answers.
"Okay…" says Quatre.
Usagi and Minako then come up behind Duo and Minako asks, "Well, what were you doing out there all this time? You two must've done SOMETHING."
"Well, that is for me to know and for you to find out…" Duo responds as he gives a big wide smile.
Everyone takes a seat in the living room and Heero takes out his laptop. He starts working on, well, whatever he does on there. Usagi and Relena then look over his shoulder and Heero asks, "What are you two doing?"
"Just seeing what you're up to." Usagi responds.
Relena speaks too. "Yeah, you're always doing something on you laptop instead of being with me. Why Hee-chan?"
"Well, I don't want you two onnas bothering me. And the same goes for you Duo-kun." Says Heero.
But Duo wasn't paying attention. He's thinking about Raye and what they are Gonna do on their date tomorrow. Then he remembers that he has to call her. Duo randomly calls out, "What's Raye's phone number?"
"Nani?" Heero asks.
"What's Raye's phone number? I need to call and talk to her."
"Here. I'll give it to you." Ami says nicely as she takes out a sheet of paper and scribbles down her number. "Here you go Duo."
Duo takes the paper from Ami's hand. "Oh, arigatou Ami-san." Duo says as he jumps up from the couch and runs up the stairs. Then at the top step, he turns around with a confused look on his face. "Uh Relena-san, where's a phone?"
"There's one in your room Duo-kun, you can use that one." Relena responds.
Duo sweatdrops. "Oh. Hahaha, arigatou." He says as he rushes down to his room.
Minako, Makoto, Ami, and Usagi all start laughing. "Duo's so kawaii when he acts dumb." Mako says.
"I know what you mean. He's SO HOT! I envy Raye-chan so much for snagging such a cutie," says Minako.
"Oh I know! He's so adorable with his little braid." Usagi says and smiles. The girls all sweatdrop.
"Excuse me Usagi-chan, but don't you already have your koibito. His name is Mamoru!!" Mako says.
"I know that Mako-chan, can't I just look?"
"No because he's going to be Raye's koibito soon." Ami responds.
"Oh I just love springtime! Everyone gets hooked up. I hope I do too…" Minako says with a sigh.
As the girls continue talking, Wufei and Trowa take out a chessboard and start playing. Heero is still typing on his laptop, and Relena and Quatre head towards the door to go horseback riding. As Quatre and Relena are going outside, Quatre wonders about something. How can Duo be so attractive to girls? Is it his charming personality or his sex appeal that drives the women crazy for this braided bishonen? But Quatre just shakes his head and follows Relena without thinking about it anymore.
