Hello again! I was originally going to end the story at the last
chapter, but then again... I was enjoying it too much and I got a lot of
nice reviews, so here it is! Chapter 14----
READ AND REVIEW!!! or email. (akamoonsugar@yahoo.com). or call me. if you know me. If not, review. or email. or.... (I'm hyper!!!)
I now have a muse... Anyone who can guess who it is wins a prize! Don't know what, though... Also, you win a prize if you can guess what the 'A.K.A.' in my nickname stands for... Here's a hint- not related to gaming or anime, and NOT 'also known as'!!!
--------------------------
"Ohaiyo goazaimasu." Hiiro greeted as he pulled a still-asleep Usagi into the bright morning light that flooded the kitchen the next morning. The other eight people sat or stood in various places around the large room.
"Aiiie! I don't wanna wake up!" Usagi exclaimed, shielding her eyes from the sun.
"Odango Atama strikes again!" Rei retorted, who was immediately engulfed in a hug by Usagi.
"It's so good to have you back, Rei!" This suprised Rei, as she had been expecting an angry response.
"Hey 'Sagi," Minako began with a sly grin on her face. "Ren'ta heset uysg so utec?" She asked, speaking in the old language of the Lunarians. (AN: Take the last letter of the word and place it at the front. Then it will read in English. If the word has only two letters, I left it alone. Just in case, I'll put in the translations, too! Minako said 'Aren't these guys so cute?')
"Iah, iiro'sH het oolestc, houht!" Usagi replied. (Yes, Hiiro's the coolest, though!)
"What?" Quatre asked, looking very confused as the girls began a fast- paced debate.
"What language are you chicks talking?" Duo asked.
"Lunarian. From the Silver Millenium." Usagi responded briefly before returning to her eariler conversation.
"O-kay, thanks for clarifying." Duo said, still confused.
The conversation continued, accompanied by many sweatdrops from the guys as the Senshi sometimes pointed at one or other of them.
"I really wish we could figure out what they are saying." Quatre commented.
"I have a feeling we don't want to know." Trowa countered.
"Trowa's right- baka onnas' are crazy." Wufei added.
"True, true." Hiiro said. (That was for Laur-Laur! She's always saying that!)
Soon the girls stopped their debate- though it ended in a huge dog pile of Sailor Senshi when Minako claimed that 'her Trowa was the best of all the pilots'. The five pilots each grabbed his girlfriend and pulled her away. Matoko set about making breakfast for them all, shooing Duo away from the stove several times with a spatula. Despite his attempts to ruin her concentration and their breakfast, soon a steaming hot meal was set in front of them. Glancing at the clock, Quatre chuckled. Seeing the other's faces, he explained.
"It's 12:30- we're having breakfast for lunch." The nine smiled at him.
"So what is there to do around here?" Usagi asked later as they all worked to clear the table and clean up the kitchen.
"We could go horse-back riding." Quatre suggested. Soon it was settled, and they all ran to get dressed for the day. Renewed with energy from the food, Usagi pulled a slightly grinning Hiiro into their room. She stopped about three feet in front of the bed and spun around. But Hiiro wasn't expecting this, and tripped her on accident. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down with her as she landed on the soft bedding. She giggled as their noses touched, and he smiled gently back. Hiiro couldn't control himself, being that close to her- he closed the small gap between them and pressed his lips against hers. She gasped in to the kiss as his hands began roaming over her lithe body. Soon they had both shed their pajamas and sat now only in their underwear. When Hiiro's hand went to undo her bra, Usagi finally sighed and pulled away.
Her eyes begged him not to make her. Hiiro sighed, understanding, and she cast her gaze away from his. He held her hand between his, rubbing it gently.
"Usagi, it's alright." Hiiro said. She looked up at him sadly.
"It's just- I'm scared and- and-" she cute off, not able to continue.
"'Sagi, I understand! Don't worry about it." Hiiro said, trying to reassure her. She smiled a little, and he grinned back.
"You need to go to Gi's old room and get some clothes. Here, let me show you where it is." he said, forgetting that Usagi had all of Gi's memories. Not bothering to mention it, Usagi let him show the room to her. She dressed in a pair of short, stone-washed jean shorts and a black halter top that had no back. Hiiro whistled appreciatively as she came back into his room a few minutes later. She grinned at him, striking a pose.
"You're acting like Duo." she teased.
"So?" Hiiro retorted, moving to stand in front of her. "I like the outfit, especially the way it barely covers this-" he said as he pulled her against him and grabbed her buttocks, lifting her slightly off the ground. Seeing her blush, he picked her all the way up, still supporting her by her rear. She giggled.
"Put me down!" she exclaimed. Instead of setting her down, he merely transferred her so that she held him around the shoulder, piggy-back style. Her smile widened.
"Okay puppy- Mush!" she cried, and Hiiro ran through the hallways, dodging corners and tables that blocked his path. They ran in to the living room, giggling and smiling together. Hiiro set Usagi down and spun her to face him. He kissed her softly on the lips and smiled his genuine smile, the one he saved for her.
The others, watching from various positions around the room, couldn't help but smile. The other four Gundam pilots were glad for the change in Hiiro, and exchanged knowing smiles between one another.
"So, we all ready to go?" Wufei asked, standing. After glancing around at everyone, Quatre nodded, and led them out the stables. The stables were huge.
"How many horses do you have, Quatre?" Ami asked timidly. She was still a bit shy around him. Quatre pondered for a moment before answering.
"About twenty, I think. I have a few people who come in twice or three times a day to take care of them. Just choose a horse." He briskly walked to a stall and opened it, leading a grey horse with a black mane and tail out of the wood-walled space. The others wandered up and down the long line of stalls, each choosing a horse and leading it out of its stall.
Usagi walked up and down, looking in the stalls. Finally, at the end of the rows, she turned a corner and saw one lone stall, set back from all the others. She gasped in surprise as she stood on her tiptoes to look over the higher door and stared at the beauty contained within. The horse stood seventeen hands high (now someone help me here!), and was a silverly-white color. The horses' mane and tail were jet black, with traces of the silver interwoven.
"Wow..." Usagi breathed quietly. The horse looked up at her, gazing at the silver-blonde girl with azure eyes that nearly matched Usagi's. The young girl opened the wood door and slipped inside. She stood in the center of the stall, about five feet away from the beauty.
"What's your name?" Usagi asked, still motionless. The horse bucked his head slightly towards the corner. Usagi looked in that direction and saw a wooden sign with a name carved onto it: Ariake.
"Ariake?" Usagi repeated. The horse seemed to nod. "Morning moon... I like it." Usagi said softly. The horse, now known as a female, nuzzled Usagi gently before allowing herself to be lead out of her stall. Ariake sank on its front legs, allowing Usagi to climb on and adjust herself, then guided herself back into the main stall area. Quatre looked up from saddling a horse and smiled as he saw which horse Usagi had choosen.
"What?" Usagi asked as Ariake stopped in front of them.
"That's my mother's favorite horses' offspring." he said, smiling at her. She returned the gesture shyly.
"Is is okay for me to ride her?" she asked. Seeing him nod, she smiled again and set about grooming and saddling it. Soon, the ten horses were saddled and bridled; ready to be ridden. The pilots and Senshi mounted the animals and Quatre guided them out of the barn and onto a trail. They all rode slowly, merely walking the horses for a few miles in silence, just enjoying nature. For the first time in his life, Hiiro enjoyed doing nothing except feeling the gentle breeze and hearing the rythym of the horses' hooves on the dirt ground. He was content to let his horse guide itself, following Wufei in front of him, while Hiiro watched Usagi. Everything she did was new and beautiful to him, even small things like how she would take in a breath of the air and then sigh contentedly. He smiled slightly at her; to him she was like a little girl inside.
They were all enjoying the relaxation when suddenly the atmosphere was broken. A bright flash of pink ran amuck, glistening through the green leaves of the hot summer day. A cry was heard, and then it abruptly ended with a *thud* somewhere near them. They all dismounted and began to search for the cause of the cry.
'The last time this happened,' Usagi thought wistully, 'Was when Rini first appeared, back in Tokyo.' Just as she remembered this, she pulled back a curtain of vines and leaves, revealing the cause of the flash, cry, and thud.....
"Rini?!" she exclaimed.
