CHAPTER SEVEN: HAKURA AND MICHIRU

Duo held Usagi's shivering form in the rain. Really they didn't care about the rain instead they relaxed in each other's company. They shared their warmth, their emotions and their love for the other.

Usagi backed a bit and stared at Duo's eyes, "Maybe we should go home now, considering that we might get sick."

Duo smiled as his serene eyes looked at her, "Sure, but first let's buy an umbrella."

Usagi grinned and nodded, "Ok."

So together, even if it was raining, they went into a store. Silently, as they held each other's hands, they strolled through the store. As they were looking around a figure came up behind them.

"Usako, what is the meaning of this," Mamoru asked as he narrowed his eyes at them.

The two turned around and stared at him. Usagi frowned with a tint of fear in her eyes as Mamoru walked up to them. Duo held a protective arm out in front of Usagi with a look of anger on his face.

Mamoru had a surprised look and said in a 'fake' hurt voice, "Usako, you've been cheating on me?"

Usagi frowned as Duo growled at him in a quite threatening way.

"Mamoru, I don't think Keneko cheated on you," a voice said in anger.

All attention was turned to the couple walking towards them.

"Hakura, Michiru," Usagi jumped in glee.

Duo relaxed a bit when Usagi was happy, 'They're probably on our side.'

"Hakura, Michiru, you can practically tell that she's cheating on me," Mamoru said.

"Usa didn't doa thing, you did it you bastard," Duo snapped.

Michiru nodded, "We know."

Usagi smiled, "So you're on our side."

Hakura laughed a bit, "Keneko we're always on your side."

A serene look washed Usagi's face as Mamoru noticed that he was cornered. Usagi took this chance as Duo squeezed her hand. Firmly she stated, "Mamoru, I know that you're cheating on me."

Pure shock covered Mamoru's face as he shook his head, "No, Usako, it's not true."

"I saw you and that 'Lil' girl kissing in public in a restaurant," Duo said angrily as he squeezed the trembling hand of Usagi.

Mamoru froze. The whole place froze; even a crowd was forming to watch this scene unfold. The kids stopped and froze as well as the grown ups shifted their weight to one leg onto the other.

"I-I," Mamoru stampered.

"Y-you what, Mamoru?" Usagi snapped in anger after she gathered courage from the man she loved beside her. Duo smiled slightly at her courage as the crowd cheered her on.

Mamoru backed away and towards the door. Slowly he picked up his pace and ran out onto the street. The crowd clapped and hollered at the winning team.

Usagi took a breath and noticed that the rain had stopped as the crowd walked away slowly. She then noticed that Duo's and her's clothes are already dried out.

"You did great Usa," Duo said with a grin.

"Thank you D-chan," Usagi smiled and turned towards Hakura and Michiru. Duoi blushed at the nick name slightly, weird that when other girls call him that he was ok, but when Usa calls him that his emotion run wild, rushing his blood to his face, as if that was the only way to get rid of the extra heat in his body.

"D-chan, I'm going to talk to Michiru and Hakura for a while ok?" Usagi asked as she smirked at his face.

Duo nodded as Usagi cheerfully walked towards her friends.

"Hi!" Usagh said.

"Time has changed," Michiru said seriously.

Usagi frowned and turned serious, "Crystal Toyko and Chibiusa..."

Hakura's face softened, "Keneko it'll be ok. Beside that a-hole was the one who betrayed us all."

"And I see you found another guy," Michiru teased as she stole a glance at Duo, who was looking around.

Usagi blushed, "Yeah..."

"Becareful, Shingo, might not like him," Hakura said.

"Shingo..." Usagi whispered as the couple walked away with a wave of goodbye.

"Usa," Duo whispered in her ear.

She immediately snapped her head up and turned around.

"Here," Duo said with a grin as he handed her a bag of gummy candies.

Usagi beamed at him and hugged his, "Thank you D-chan!"

Duo smiled as emotions rushed into his heat. He bent down and placed a kiss on her head. Usagi looked up and lightly pecked his lips as she grabbed the bag of candy and ran out of the store.

Duo blinked and narrowed his eyes as he chased after the running bunny, "Hey! Usa you have to share!"

Usagi giggled merrily as Duo started to catch up with her.

Duo caught her hand and turned her around in a tight, yet protective hug.

Usagi tried to struggle out of his grasp as Duo said, "I won't let go."

"Duo..." she whined as she pouted cutely.

Duo looked at her with a smirk as Usagi. Usagi stopped and stared at him with the look of love. Slowly their lips met in a kiss, emotions poured through both their hearts. After a few seconds their lips parted as Usagi tried to move away, but then got stopped by the clasp of Duo's arms.

"I told you I won't let go," he said.

Usagi pouted as Duo laughed merrily. Together they held hands and walked towards Usagi's house. Every now ant then they'll pop a piece of candy or two in their mouths.

END! PLEASE R/R!
