demo I didn't have much time to type and post. Anywayz, it's here now so
you can read what happens next.
------ Chapter 8 ~ Mamoru vs. Alan ------
Usagi turned around and found a tall man standing there.
"Mamoru?"
She was shocked to find HIM. "W-what are you doing here? What IS this place?" He didn't answer her questions. He just stood there, motionless.
"Usako." he finally said. "You've got remember." He began to glow all of a sudden. When the glowing stopped, he was Prince Endymion. 'Who is he?' Usagi asked herself, yet she didn't say anything aloud. 'He looks…familiar.'
"You've got to remember, Usako. For US."
"Remember what?" she asked. She was still confused at what was going on. Endymion reached out with his right hand. There was something in his hand. It looked like….
"…A…locket…." Usagi was even more confused. 'There's something about him…and this locket. They look so…familiar somehow.' Usagi tool the locket in her hands, embracing it. The locket opened and started to play music. 'I…KNOW this music. I've heard it before.'
"Remember the promise we made all those years ago, Usagi-hime. Onegai, remember." Mamoru began to disappear right in front of her.
"MATTE!" she cried out, but he finished disappearing. She was left alone…. All alone.
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi woke up sweating. Luna woke up and went to see what was wrong. Of course, she didn't speak, since Usagi forgot all about her. She might freak out if she heard her cat talking. Usagi ignore her. She took a look at her alarm clock. 'Five forty-five' she said to herself. She lay back in her bed and tried to go back to sleep. But she found it hard to do so.
"Mamoru." she whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Ohayo, Motoki!"
"Ohayo, Mamoru!" Mamoru walked to Motoki and sat down beside him. "Why are you here so early? Don't you have to work?" Motoki asked.
"Iie. I have the week off."
"Well, that's good to hear. Say…I just remembered something important."
"What did you remember?"
"Usagi's birthday is in four days. Her parents might not make her a party."
"Why not?"
"Because of her accident. It'll be exactly a month on her birthday."
"Oh." Mamoru went deep into thought. 'Maybe I could take her out. Well, that's IF her parents let me. Especially her father.'
"…moru? Oi, Mamoru?"
"Wha-?"
"What were you thinking about? Usagi?"
"Sort of. I was thinking that maybe if her parents aren't going to do anything for her birthday, that I could take her out."
"Are you serious?" Motoki thought that he was joking.
"Of course."
"You sure have changed. Well, I don't think that's a bad idea. Demo, you'll have to ask her father."
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was in the living room watching TV. It was Saturday so there was no school. The doorbell rang.
"Coming!" She got off the couch and went to answer the door.
"Oh, Alan-san?" He had some flowers with him.
"Oi Usagi. How are you feeling?"
"Fine. Oh! Come in, Alan-san."
Mamoru was going to see Usagi. He just happened to be watching when Alan went in. 'Why that little-.' He started to get very angry. He didn't even bother to see Usagi now. So, he left.
~~~~~~~~~~
"So… What brings you here?" asked Usagi as she put the flowers in water. Her mother was in the kitchen. Her brother was at a friend's house. And her father was at work.
"I came to see you, of course." Usagi blushed slightly.
"Thank you for worrying about me."
"Usagi! Who was at the door?" Ikuko asked from the kitchen.
"It was Alan-san."
"I'll go bring some lemonade in a few minutes, if you want?"
"Ok."
Alan was quiet. 'She is so beautiful.' He admired her. She had lost her memory and almost died, yet she acted as if that had never happened.
"So…Alan-san. What do you want to do?" she finally asked.
"If it's alright with your mother, I wanted to take you out for an ice cream."
"Of course it's alright with me." They both turned and found Ikuko walking towards them with two cups on a tray. "As long as you bring her back by five."
"Don't worry, Tsukino-san. I'll bring her back safe and on time." Alan smiled at Usagi, which made her blush. They drank their drinks quietly. "Shall we go, Usagi?"
"Hai."
~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru was walking along the sidewalk, thinking. 'I have to do something so Usagi won't fall for that Alan. But what?' Just then he saw Usagi with Alan. And they were walking towards him.
"Oi, Mamoru-san!" She ran towards him. And before he could walk away, she had wrapped her arms around him. He just smiled when she turned to look at him. Alan was starting to get very mad. 'Why did he have to show up?' Mamoru noticed that Alan gave him an evil look. But he didn't care. Usagi was happy to see him. That made him happy.
"Mamoru-san, can you come with us?" When Usagi said that, Alan got so mad that he wanted to take Usagi and… 'No! I must not think like that. If I'm to win Usagi's heart, I can't do that. At least not yet.'
"What's wrong?" Usagi asked the both of them.
"I don't want to ruin your date for you." Mamoru finally responded.
"Date? We're not on a date. Alan-san just took me for some ice cream."
"Ice cream?" Mamoru was a bit relieved.
"Usagi." She turned to look at Alan. "I have to get going. Do still want me to walk you home?"
"That's alright. If have to go, you can. Mamoru-san can take me." Mamoru was in shock. 'Did she just say that she wanted me to take her home?'
~~~~~~~~~~
"I was thinking that we should go visit Usagi tomorrow. We haven't seen her in days." Suggested Ami.
"Good idea. We could go tomorrow in the afternoon." Minako looked around at the others to see if they agreed. They all nodded so they agreed. "It's settled then! We'll all go tomorrow."
~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you for bringing me home, Mamoru-san" Usagi said when she got out of his car.
"No problem." He walked her to the door.
"Um… Do you want to come in?" she almost whispered.
"Alright. I just hope your father won't get mad."
He doesn't come home until nine, and it's six." Usagi opened the door and went in. Mamoru followed her. When they entered, they noticed that the house was empty. Nobody was home, not even Shingo.
"Wonder where everyone went…" Usagi started walking around trying to find the light switch. When she found it, she turned on the lights. They walked to the living room. There was a note on the coffee table. Usagi picked it up and read it. It said:
USAGI,
WENT WITH SHINGO TO DO SOME GROCERY SHOPPING. WE WILL BE BACK AT AROUND EIGHT. I LEFT YOUR PLATE SERVED IN THE KITCHEN. YOU JUST NEED TO WARM IT UP A LITTLE. SEE YOU SOON.
YOUR MOTHER
Usagi turned to look at Mamoru who was standing next to her. "I guess we're alone," she said softly. He just looked at her. 'She's so beautiful.' He slowly got closer to her. He turned her so her body was facing his. He just gazed at her eyes.
"You know something Usagi… You are so beautiful," he said gently. She blushed and looked away from his eyes. He just smiled. Then he turned her face with his left hand. He started caressing her face with the same hand. She started to shiver, not because she was cold. But because she was nervous. They were so close. There was hardly any space in-between them. He started to lean forward. He stopped, though, when his lips were just centimeters away from hers.
"Aishiteru, Usako." Before she could respond, he covered her sweet lips with his.

- Sorry for the cliffhanger. I just thought that this would be a good stopping place. And sorry also if the last part wasn't good or anything. I'm new at this. If you want more, remember to review. ~_^
