A Love As Sweet As Sugar
by Artemis
------------------------------------------------------
THREE
I woke up early on a Sunday morning, quite an incredible
feat but it was probably because of what I wanted to do
that day. Go and visit Mamoru. First, I had to make a
good impression instead of a 'little kid' as he called me
the day before. Mina had suggested dressing up to look
18 so he wouldn't recognise me. I looked in my ward robe
and found my special white dress, one that had thin straps
and hugged my figure tight all the way down my legs with
a split down one side. It had some fading roses printed
on it and I had always looked mature wearing it. I slipped
into it and undid my hair, seeing my wavy golden hair fall
down my back. I shook my head to loosen the curls a little
and I had light, fluffy hair. I didn't exactly look 18, but
I didn't look like a kid either. I slipped on some heeled
sandals and my purse and skipped out of the house.
I stepped into the arcade and felt all eyes on me. I could
hear murmurs and whispers around me. I looked around
nervously for Mamoru. He was sitting with Motoki san, not
noticing me yet. I walked up casually to him, pretending
not to notice he was there.
"Hi Motoki san," I smiled, sitting two seats away from
Mamoru.
"Hi.. Usagi chan?" he asked, teasing a little.
"It's me, Usagi," I giggled.
Motoki san glanced over to Mamoru, who sat there not
turning around.
"You still think I'm a kid?" I asked him, turning to him.
He turned around and saw me. His dark blue eyes looked
me up and down quickly, then he shrugged.
"A kid who's trying to look older," he grinned.
"Well Chiba Mamoru, I've got news for you," I told him,
fed up with him. "This 'kid' is going to fix up that
wonky personality of yours no matter what it takes!"
"Oh really?" he laughed, so amused that he almost fell
off the chair.
"Yeah, that's right!" I told him firmly. "So you'd
better watch your back!"
"What are you going to do then?" Mamoru asked curiously.
"I'm not sure," I mumbled.
"I've got to go to class," he said suddenly and got up.
He headed out of the door and I followed him. He ignored
me and kept walking out ahead of me and tried to cross the
road. I was about to step out onto the road when a hand
grabbed my arm. I turned and saw a couple of guys smiling
at me.
"Hey, are you free? You want to come with us?" they asked.
I gulped, not knowing what to do. I had never been picked
up by any guys before.
"Well I'm busy right now," I mumbled, trying to get away.
"Aw, come on," they laughed. "You'll have some time for
us won't you?"
They grabbed me firmly and tried to pull me away.
"Let go of me!" I shouted angrily.
They didn't let go and were even more persistent.
They backed off all of a sudden, looking at someone
behind me.
"Hey, leave her alone," a tired voice growled at them.
"You could have mentioned your boyfriend," they stammered,
then ran off.
I sighed in relief, then turned around to see Mamoru
looking irritated.
"You're so troublesome," he frowned.
"Sorry," I whimpered. "But I've never been in that
situation before."
"That's what happens when you try to dress up all pretty
and pretend to be older," he told me coldly.
"You think I'm pretty?" I asked, cheering up.
"That's not the point," he muttered.
He turned around and I thought he would walk away again,
but instead he grabbed my hand and pulled my arm.
"Where are we going?" I asked, following him hesitantly.
"The park," he said plainly.
"Why?"
"I have to do my work and obviously I can't leave you
by yourself."
I smiled as I realised he was just embarrassed to show
he cared. I held his hand tight and followed him.
When we got to the park, he led me to a spot under a
shady tree. He got out his books and his glasses.
"I didn't know you wore glasses!" I exclaimed.
"Well now you do," he replied.
He leaned against the tree and started reading his
book. I sat there wondering what to do.
"What are you reading?" I asked, uncomfortable with
the silence.
"To Kill A Mockingbird," he told me quietly.
"Is it interesting?"
"Yeah."
I sat there, watching him read. Sometimes he glanced up
to check I was there, but quickly looked down again.
I started to get quite bored and this wasn't as fun as
I imagined. I saw some dandelions and decided to make
a flower crown. I picked flowers from the ground and
tied them together. After about ten minutes, I had my
crown done nicely and put it on my head.
"Look, I'm a princess!" I smiled.
Mamoru looked up, looking a little annoyed at first,
then he stared at me. I started to feel a little
nervous, wondering why.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
He snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
"It's nothing," he shrugged. "You look nice."
"Thanks," I smiled, but he wasn't looking at me any more.
I got fed up with him reading his book, so I crawled
next to him and snatched his book out of his hands.
"Hey!" he shouted angrily. "What are you doing?"
"It's boring!" I frowned.
"Look, I'm taking time out from my busy schedule to baby
sit you so you should be glad," he snapped. "Or go
home and quit bugging me!"
"Fine," I sulked, then sat down next to him and gave his
book back.
"Why are you bugging me so much anyway," he muttered.
"Because it's what I owe the shooting star," I sighed.
"The shooting star?" he asked curiously, putting down
his book.
"Yeah," I nodded, wondering why he was suddenly so
interested.
"What did you wish for?" he asked.
"I can't tell you," I blushed. "But anyway, I have to
fix up your personality first!"
He nodded, then returned to reading his book.
When I got home, I felt a little happy since I was able
to spend a day with Mamoru and it was quite productive.
The phone rang and I picked up.
"Usagi?" Mina shouted.
"Yeah?" I replied, puzzled.
"Did you just have a date with Chiba Mamoru!?" she shouted.
"Ummm no? If you could call it a date," I laughed.
"Rei said she saw you!"
"Rei?"
"Anyway, what are you doing with him
anyway? First yesterday and now today!?"
"Umm it's a long story," I mumbled. "Can I tell you later?"
"That's what you said yesterday and you never ended up
telling me! What is it? Is it such a secret that you can't
tell us or even me?"
"I just have to sort a few things out first," I told her.
"Okay," Mina replied, sounding a little hurt.
"I promise I'll explain things okay?"
"Sure.."
"I gotta go now, seeya Mina."
"Bye Usagi."
I hung up and sighed. I felt so guilty, but I didn't want
to tell anyone about the strange shooting star incident
yet. I had to make sure that what I dreamt wasn't a dream,
but something real. And that Mamoru was the one who I would
love and he would love me back. So far, the going was good...
But was it going to get any better?
