*Usagi still couldn't get over Heero hugging her, as she walked to the palace kitchen to
get a bite to eat. Now being even more confused about what his feelings for her were, she
wanted to talk to Makoto even more. She couldn't wait until tonight. Funny thing was, she had a
feeling something big was going to happen tonight.
Usagi got food and ate it in her room. She hung around in her room and wandered
around, anxiously awaiting the moment the clock turned 6:15. When it finally did, she grabbed a
bag, packed her stuff, and left for Makoto's, riding her horse at a trot.
When she got there, she led Fairylight to the stables. Heero happened to be in there and
offered to unsaddle and brush her horse for her. She gladly accepted. Both acted like nothing had
happened that morning, like that hug wasn't shared.
Usagi knocked on the door and Duo answered it letting her in.
"Hey Usagi."
"Hey! How are you feeling? Cleaner I hope. You certainly do smell better." Usagi
smirked at Duo while he started to blush.
"You know, that wasn't very nice. What I did to you made you clean and what you did to
me made me dirty. Unfair and unjust treatment!"
"Whoever said anything about pranks having to be fair and just."
Duo said nothing after that and Usagi knew she had won the argument. She started
walking further into the house to go to Makoto's room when Duo stopped her.
"Wait. You can't go back there yet. Makoto said to keep you here until she gave me the
go ahead to let you go."
"Oh really. And why is that?"
"Um. Well-" Duo was cut off by the voice of Makoto.
"Hey Usagi! What's up?"
"Oh, nothing really. Just talking here with your brother. Did he tell you how much he
helped me this morning?"
Duo became red with embarrassment. "No."
"Oh. Well he really did help. Even provided a good laugh. I'd be happy to have him help
again."
Duo quickly cut in. "Uh. Actually, as much as I'd like to help again, I won't be able to."
"Why is that?" Makoto gave him a questioning look.
"Because . . ."
"Yeah Duo. Why not?" Usagi couldn't pass up the chance to bug him some more.
"Uh. Because I just can't. See-ya later? Okay! Bye!" Duo ran off. Poor guy couldn't take
the teasing any longer.
"Anyway. Sorry you had wait with my brother. I was just finishing up something."
"No prob."
They both left for Makoto's room. Upon entering, Makoto made Usagi turn around and
close her eyes.
"Okay. You can look now."
When Usagi turned around and looked, she saw Makoto holding three items toward her.
"Are these for me?"
"Of course! I hope you like them!"
Usagi picked up the first two items and examined them. A brand new bow and quiver full
of arrows. It was easy to tell that these were made of the highest quality materials. The bow had
the perfect curve. She strung it and was surprised how easy it was to do so. She put on one of the
perfect arrows and pulled back. Testing it. Very good. If she had let the arrow fly, it would have
deeply embedded itself in the wall. The bow and the arrows were the highest quality she had
seen. And taking a closer look at the quiver, she saw it was made of the finest leather available.
She was very pleased.
She then looked at the last item. A leather saddle. The quality of it being the best, like the
bow and arrows. Upon closer examination, she saw a small latch, that when undone, lifted and
exposed a small compartment. Perfect when traveling with documents that could become
weather damaged. 'Getting these gifts must have been the big thing I felt was going to happen
this morning!' Usagi thought.
She looked at Makoto with gratitude. "Thank you, Mako-chan!"
"I thought that since you really wanted to try to win the hunt this year, I'd get you the
finest tools to help you in doing so! I really want you to win this year!!"
"Thanks so much, Mako-chan!!" Usagi flung herself at Makoto and gave her the biggest
hug. "But you didn't have to. Honestly. I don't even want to think of how much you had to have
spent on all of this!"
"But I did have to Usagi. You're my best friend! And I know how much winning means to
you ands how much it means to me that you win!"
Usagi hugged Makoto again and said, "You're such a great friend. Thanks for
everything."
"Your welcome. What say we go check out the new saddle on Fairylight?"
"I'd love to." They hooked elbows, grabbed the saddle and went to the barn. Moonlight
flooded in through the door allowing them to see enough for what they were doing, though the
place was mainly shadowed. They saddled her and admired the way it looked.
"Oh! It looks so good! Thank you!!"
"With all this stuff and your skill, you'll definitely win the contest!"
The game hunt or contest takes place annually. The one this year started a month ago and
it always lasts a total of 3 months. The point of the contest is to catch as much weight in game as
you can within that amount of time. The person who weighs in with the most is invited to eat at
the Kings table as his guest and wins 50 gold pieces. The first time Usagi entered was 2 years
ago, and this year she was determined to win, and Makoto was determined to help her in every
way possible. That was one of the reasons she bought her the gifts.
"I hope. I already have a pretty good amount. A few rabbit, deer and a couple of squirrel.
I think I'm doing pretty good. Oh! I just remembered something I need to talk to you about! Lets
go to your room! I'll try the arrows later."
"Okay!"
They ran out of the barn and back into the house. When the click of the door closing
was heard, the shadowy figure of Duo crept over to Usagi's saddle. Opening the latch, he stuck
something into it, closed it back up and retreated, leaving only the saddle and horse in the dark
barn.
~~~~~~~~~
Usagi and Makoto were sitting in her room eating snacks. Usagi had just explained to
her what Heero and Duo had done to her the day before and what she did to get back. "So what's
the urgent thing you needed to tell me?"
"I think this is going to be hard to explain, but I'll do my best. Your brother, Heero, and
I have been friends ever since you and I became best friends. And Heero and I will always be
friends. But I don't know if we'll ever be anything more. Let me rephrase that. I don't know if
HEERO would ever want to be anything more. Do you think that he would?"
"To tell the truth, Usa, I really don't know. As much as Heero hides his feelings around
you, he does to me, too. Do YOU want to be something more?"
"I'm not sure. He is cute, definitely. Hot, oh yeah. And he does have a great personality,
for all that he's quiet. But wouldn't it be too awkward to move past being friends? He really
seemed to care when he said not to catch a cold and when he hugged me this morning after
telling him about my past. He could have meant something by doing that, or have done it just
because. I just don't know, and was hoping you could help."
"Sorry Usa. There's no way I can help. It's just one of those things that you have to
figure out yourself."
"I was expecting that, but it was worth a shot asking. I'm glad I did though, it helped
me straighten out my thoughts."
"At least I was of some help."
"Yeah."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo and Heero were in the kitchen eating when their parents walked in. "Hey Mom!
Hey Dad!"
"Hi Dear," Constance said (the mom).
"Have either off you seen some documents laying anywhere around the house?"
George asked (the dad).
"I had seen some earlier, but then they were gone. But I did see Usagi with some
papers. I, being my curious self, followed her. She put the papers inside the compartment in the
new saddle Makoto bought her. Here. I'll show you."
Duo led his parents, and Heero, who was in disbelief, out to the barn, opened the
compartment, pulled out the papers and gave them to his mom.
"These are them, George. That little girl took them!! How dare she!!" Constance
yelled.
"That . . . GIRL!! Duo, put those back where you found them. Your mother and I are
going to go have a little talk with Usagi." They walked out, not noticing the evil smirk on their
son's face. But Heero did. Oh yes. Heero noticed that smirk. He stored that little piece off
information in his mind, knowing later it would come in handy.
Duo looked up at Heero after putting the documents back in the saddle. Being under
scrutiny from Heero, Duo became nervous. "What?!"
"Hn." He left after that. Also remembering how nervous Duo had become.
'Action!' Duo thought and raced past Heero, quickly catching up to his parents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi and Makoto were laughing when her parents came into the room. Looking
over, they could visibly see the rage in the parents eyes.
"Usagi. We need to talk."*
