CHAPTER EIGHT: PROTECTIVE BROTHER BUT AN OK DAD
Usagi and Duo walked to the entrance of the Tsukino's residence and stopped.
Usagi turned to him and cautioned, "I think you should leave. Umm... my dad kinda has this shotgun and.... Well he's overprotective."
Duo quirked an eyebrow up and complemented, "Of course he'll be overprotective with a great treasure like you."
Usagi blushed and insisted, "Really D-chan I advise you to leave before dad finds out."
Duo grinned and agreed, "OK, I'll leave. So I'll at school tomorrow right?"
Usagi beamed at him, nodded and replied, "Wouldn't miss it for the world!" (OH MY GOD! Was that Usagi speaking?!)
Duo nodded and was going to leave but then got interrupted.
"Eh em... I do believe you're now my sister's new boyfriend, considering that you two seem like a couple," Shingo said as he came out of a shadow.
Usagi shivered and whispered, "Creepy.."
Duo nodded in shock.
"What's your name?" Shingo asked Duo roughly.
"Duo Maxwell," he replied, 'Hm... an overprotective brother as well...'
Shingo nodded, stared at him hardly and asked, "Do you love her?"
Duo tilted his head to one side and replied, "Of course."
"Are you going to hurt her?" Usagi's brother asked again.
Usagi rolled her eyes and spoke, "He wouldn't hurt a fly."
Duo inwardly winced, 'Wouldn't hurt a fly? Yeah right I fought in a war, people!'
Shingo turned to his sister and countered, "Just making sure, Usagi."
"Oh come on Shingo, what is he going to do?" Usagi asked.
Shingo shrugged and said, "He could cheat on you."
Usagi turned towards Duo and glared at him.
Duo stood still and stated to God, "I promise to never hurt Usa or God shall electrocute me, burn me, drown me etc."
Usagi quickly ran to him and clamped a hand on his mouth to stop him, "Ok, I believe you." Usagi smiled and wrapped him in a hug as Duo nodded.
Shingo felt unnerved, 'Maybe he'll hurt her, maybe he won't hurt her... tough decision.'
All of a sudden the front door opened and Kenji Tsukino spotted them.
"Hi dad," Shingo greeted as if it was nothing was out of the ordinary.
Usagi gasped, let go of Duo and explained, "Dad I can explain-"
"Explain about what?" Kenji asked as he looked at Duo, "Hello there, I'm Kenji Tsukino." Kenji extended a hand towards Duo.
Duo smiled and replied as he took the hand and shook it, "Duo Maxwell, sir."
Usagi sighed and smiled.

At the dinner table Ikuko smiled at Duo and asked, "Where do you work?"
Duo smiled as Usagi looked at him. He replied, "As now I am not employed, but am looking for a decent job to get me into university or college."
Usagi's parents nodded in approval as Luna looked at the back of Duo's head in suspicion, 'He seems familiar, but I can't understand how...'
Shingo then started to speak, "What job do you want to get?"
Usagi glared at her brother, 'He's really driving me nuts!'
Duo smiled and answered calmly, "I hope to be a graphic designer or a priest, but for now I'll probably get a job in a restaurant as a waiter or a job in a flower shop."
Shingo glared at Duo as his parents started to chat with him, 'Great mom and dad likes him. That is so unlike dad, but mom... she is SO like that.'
When Shingo met Usagi eye-to-eye she gave him a 'we're going to have a talk later' look. He looked scrared for a minute before nodding.
'Great I pissed Usagi off, now I'm dead," he thought as he looked at the mashed potatoes on his plate.
(*) (*) (*)
"Seeya tomorrow D-chan!" Usagi exclaimed as she waved good-bye to him.
Shingo rolled his eyes as Ikuko and Kenji went in to do the dishes together.
"OK, bye Usa!" he replied as he walked towards his apartment.
After Duo disappeared Usagi turned towards Shingo and narrowed her eyes at him.
Shingo backed away and asked defensively, "What?"
Usagi sucked some air in and yelled, "You know damn straight what!"
"Hee, hee," Shingo laughed sheepishly.
"Well?" Usagi asked as her nerve started to reach for the cliff.
"Well... um...." Shing started.
"Continue," Usagi said through clenched teeth.
"I was just making sure that he'll be the right one," Shing confessed.
Usagi sighed and said as she went in, "I understand, Shingo."
"You do?" Shingo asked in a surprised voice.
Usagi nodded and said, "But you have to understand that I love D-chan and that he'll never hurt me."
"How are you so sure?" Shingo asked as the siblings went up the stairs.
"It's like you and Mika," Usagi explained as Shingo blushed uncontrollably.
"I see," he whispered as more heat rushed to his face.
Usagi stopped in front of her room, turned around and looked at her brother, "God I love Duo."
Shingo nodded as Usagi went into her room.
(*) (*) (*)
"I can't believe I went through that," Kenji complained.
Ikuko rolled her eyes and said as she was washing the dishes, "It wasn't so bad. Besides he seems like a great kid."
Kenji grew angry and said, "That's what you said about Mamoru-baka,"
Ikuko frowned, "I told you mot to say his name anymore,"
He looked at his wife, "I know, but are you sure Duo is perfect for our tenshi?"
She sighed again and said with exhaustion, "Did you look into his eyes?"
Kenji looked at her with doubt and shook his head no.
She then said, "In his eyes you could of seen true love, like the way you looked at me before."
Kenji eyes widened and said quickly, "Oh Ikuko, I still love you."
"But you're more overprotective about your children. Can't you see that they've grown up now?" She asked.
Kenji wrapped her into a hug from behind as Ikuko rinsed the dishes.
"You're right, they are grown up," he said with a sigh.
"Dear, I'm always right," Ikuko smirked.
(*) (*) (*)
Usagi collapsed on her bed as her heart beat fully with pure love, the flame within her blared with life and freedom.
She sighed as she whispered, "I love D-chan."
"Yes, I can tell," Luna said.
Usagi sat up and petted her cat.
(*) (*) (*)
Duo sat on his couch as a smile was drawn on his face permanently. His insides flushed with happiness every time he saw of thought about his new girlfriend.
"My angel... my love... my Usa," he whispered to his apartment with happiness.
Then he shot up from the couch and asked the air, "Do I belong here? With Usa?"
