Thank YOU!!!!! =)
*Karmain was standing below her. Why would he be in the woods at this time of night? And why would he be out here talking to someone? First he ends up being in Sadhaj with those treasonous papers, and now here he is talking to someone.
Shadows thoroughly covered the person Karmain was talking to, making it impossible to see his face and identify him. She couldn't make out what they were saying, must have been because sleep was still in her system.
Pulling out something from his pocket, Karmain handed it over to his companion. What he and the other person didn't notice that she did, was that when he pulled that out, it pulled out something else as well that fell to a rest on the ground. Hasty goodbyes were made and the two separated.
Usagi was aching to hop off the tree and check out what he had dropped, but safety came first. So, she waited over an hour. Waiting to see if they came back or if Karmain discovered his missing item and retraced his steps too locate it. But no one came. Hopping down, she grasped the thing that looked like an ID card and held it into the moonlight so she could read the words written on it.
'Mamoru Darkheart
Citizen of: Scanra
Age:19
Place of Birth: Scanra'
It also had a picture showing who Mamoru was. He was Karmain. Karmain is Mamoru, and apparently he's really a full blooded citizen of Scanra. If there was any doubt before, now there was none, that Karmain, or should she say Mamoru, was trouble. He was up to something, and she was going to figure it out. She had many piece to the puzzle, and the picture was almost whole.
Making up her mind, she decided to talk to Heero about him and see if he could help her figure the rest of this out.
~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Usagi awoke to the sound of birds. She wanted to continue laying there peacefully, listening to nature until all the excitement that comes with a wedding came, so that's just what she did. Sat and listened. That is, until she heard the screaming of a familiar voice and then the pounding footsteps of two people. Into the clearing ran Duo with Heero right behind him. Talking so fast it was hard to make out what he was saying, Duo stated, "Morning Usagi! We came to wake you up, well Heero did. Earlier I teased him about liking you and saying other stuff along those same lines, so he chased me and I ended up coming along for the wake up call. Well, time to get up, and since you're already awake, I'll be going before Heero decides to hurt me! Eeeeep!" He ran off into the forest, going in the wrong direction to get back to his home.
Hopping out of the tree, she walked over toward Heero. "So, he was teasing you about liking me, huh? Well, I thought you said he changed? Matured?"
"He did. But now that you've returned and his conscience is cleared, he changed again, only this time change going in the other direction. His maturity level has receded back to the was it was before."
"Sorry. Guess it's back to playing a key role in pranks, not the doer, but the receiver. But, it couldn't really be helped, could it?"
"Nope. But now that I'm see the old Duo again, the original one, I realized just how much I missed him. I got my real twin back. I'm actually grateful," he said with a genuine smile.
"I'm glad," she said, returning a smile with the same genuineness to it. "You know how Duo said he teased you about liking me, well, I have a question to ask. Do you really like me?" She hoped he would say yes, and that he wasn't simply attracted to her. She also hoped she wouldn't have to strangle the answer out of him. Her hopes were not in vain.
Looking at her and grasping her hands, he said, "Yes, Usagi. I do like you. I like you a lot. And that is the reason I have for doing what I'm about to do." Placing his lips on hers, he kissed her. Slowly and hypnotically moving his lips over hers. He felt her string her arms about his neck and took that as an invitation to put his arms around her waist. Once he had, the two pulled the other against them, leaving not one crevice open between them. Heero now decided to ask her for more. Tracing his tongue across her lower and then upper lips, he waited to see if she wanted him and would accept him. His waiting period wasn't long at all, for she immediately opened herself up to him, letting him do as he pleased. But he wasn't the only one involved with using his tongue, she moved hers to meet his and together they preformed an erotic dance. Their tongues continued to dance and explore until nature told them they needed air. Breaking apart the passionate kiss at the same time, they gulped in air in slow ragged breaths, leaning against each other, forehead to forehead.
Usagi closed her eyes and smiled, feeling fire and pleasure rushing through her veins. They were still forehead to forehead, Heero was looking at Usagi and he saw her eyes closed, smile dancing on her lips. He couldn't help himself, he gave her one last, swift kiss before taking a step back.
"Well, if I had any doubt," Usagi spoke, "about the truthfulness of your words, I don't now. Not after that. But just to let you know, I didn't before that kiss either. I've yet to doubt you, and I have this feeling that I never will."
"That's nice to know, Usa-chan. Thank you. But now it's my turn to interrogate you," he said, but was interrupted by Usagi's finger being pressed against his lips to silence him.
"Yes, Heero. I do like you. Very much so," she said with a beaming smile. "And I bet now you're wondering how I could have known what it was you were about to say. Right?"
"Exactly," he said with a blink of surprise. "How could you know? And not only for the first thing but also the second, that now I'm wondering how you knew."
"Well, Heero. It's like this. When you are attracted to somebody you get to know them. And then if you like the persons personality and enjoy being around that person and hanging out with them, you unknowingly start having more feelings for them. Feelings that go beyond the attraction level. Then, suddenly, you're hit with the knowledge that you have those romantic feelings for that special friend. Then you spend more time with them, as much as you can without giving away anything, and continue to familiarize yourself with that person. And eventually you know that person so well you can read them inside and out. Like I just did with you. I know you so well that I was able to know what you were going to say. Besides, I just asked you that question and it only seems logical that you would question it in return." She was now sitting in his lap, arms strung around his neck, eyes on him with her head ever so slightly tilted to the side.
Heero wrapped up Usagi in an embrace. He was happy from the words she spoke and wanted to hug her. He held her for a few precious moments, with a peaceful smile playing on his lips. "We better go," he said in a husky voice. "Makoto's waiting for you. She made you a special breakfast because she said you needed some good home cooked food to fill your stomach."
"I wish we could have stayed like that for hours more, but I guess we should go," she said.
Heero detected a tone of disappointment and slight sadness in her voice. He was going to cure that. As she was beginning her climb off his lap, he said, "Oh no you don't." And lifted her up into the air, holding her safely in his strong arms.
"Heero! What are you doing?! Put me down right now! You hear me? Right NOW!!" Struggling against his arms she tried to free herself.
"Usa-chan, I'll give you fair warning. If you continue doing that, you might end up falling right out of my arms. Now, you don't want that happening do you?" He was smirking at her.
"Fine," she stated with a pout. Arms crossed over her chest. "Carry me back then."
~~~~~~~~~
They reached the house in less than ten minutes. She was surprised that Heero was able to carry her all the way to his house without his arms cramping up or being condemned to pain. She repeatedly asked him if he wanted to return her to the ground but he refused. So carried she was.
"Good morning, Makoto," Usagi greeted, to Makoto, adding a hug. "So, are you ready for the big day?"
"Usagi look at me. What do you think?"
"Well, you look like you got sleep last night. That's a plus. But you look so nervous, like you're ready to jump out of your skin at the slightest thing."
Duo walked into the room and heard that last remark. "Exactly on the mark, Usagi. I tried to snatch some of breakfast before it was done. Take it from me, never do that when she's like this. Very dangerous. Don't do."
"I'll remember that. Though, the next time she'll be like this is when she's going to give birth. Of course, then she would be confined to her bed and you wouldn't have to worry about her getting revenge and injuring you." Usagi was grinning and started laughing out loud, though not in a making fun of way, along with Heero and Duo, when Makoto started blushing a deep crimson.
"Guys! Stop teasing me! This is my wedding day!" Makoto pleaded.
"Okay. But do you feel better now, less nervous?" Usagi asked.
"Yes, actually." Makoto answered, noticing the change in how she felt. "Oh." she said, realizing that Usagi did what she did to help Makoto release some of the excess nervous energy. "Thanks, Usagi-chan. Now, lets hurry up and eat so we can get ready to go." She looked at Duo and Heero and said, "You two eat and then get ready. And make sure you look good. I want to leave a good first impression with the rest of Tony's family. Understood?"
"Yes, Captain Makoto," they both stated simultaneously with a salute.
The four walked into the kitchen. Heero and Duo got their food and left to eat it in their rooms. Makoto had requested to speak with Usagi alone before everything for the wedding began, including dressing and all other prep work.
After swallowing her first mouthful of food, Usagi asked, "Where are your parents?"
"They said they wanted to stay with Tony's parents until the wedding started. They want to be stunned when I walk through the temple doors looking like a fairy princess, like the most beautiful creature on earth and in the heavens. That's what they told me. I hope I'll look good enough to make my parents pleased."
"You will, Makoto. Have no worries. And I'll be right by your side making you look like a princess. It won't be hard at all considering all the natural beauty you already have. You'll be the most beautiful person there. Besides, it's required. You're the bride."
"Thanks. I don't know how I could have made it through without you here helping me. Thank you."
"Your welcome. I'd do it any day, at any time. Now, lets go do some princess making."
Their food was quickly eaten and they ran hand in hand to Makoto's room where they got ready.
~~~~~~~~~
3 hours later, you could see a fairy princess sitting on a stool in front of a mirror, though her back was facing the mirror. She turned toward Usagi, waiting to hear what she thought of how she looked. She had her hair piled on top of her head in an elaborate pattern, with spiral strands hanging down framing her face. Adorned at the top was a tiara. Little make-up was worn, just lipstick, eye shadow and mascara. Nothing else was needed. Her dress was just spectacular, and flowed with the rest of her looks. The wedding dress was pure winter white, with the top corset style. There were no straps, leaving her shoulders bare. A full skirt with a train following added to the perfectness of the dress. Silk covered her arms in gloves that went past her elbows. A choker with a diamond pedant in the middle was what enveloped her slender neck. She looked more like a goddess than a princess.
"Honestly, how do I look?" Makoto asked.
"Makoto, you are going to blow his mind away. You look like a goddess. Everyone will be dazed by your beauty."
"Thanks. Well, I guess it's time. Now all the nervousness is returning, but now its mainly just anxiousness. I guess this is goodbye then, in a way. Then next time we speak, I'll be a married woman and ready to go on my honeymoon."
"Yeah. I guess I'll go get Duo then."
"Okay," she said and turned back to the mirror, rechecking her appearance.
~~~~~~~~~
Usagi had retrieved Duo, who wore a tuxedo, and returned him to Makoto. He was her escort there. Heero was bringing Usagi separately. Heero also wore a tuxedo and he looked amazing. Usagi herself wore a beautiful dress that was also white. She looked beautiful. Usagi rested her hand on Heero's arm and he led her out to a carriage. Makoto did the same with Duo, but went into the other carriage. They left on there way to Makoto's wedding.
On the ride there, Usagi had been thinking about Karmain, or Mamoru, which was his true name, and what he could be up to. She didn't know what he spoke of with the other person last night, so she didn't know for sure, but she was hoping that Karmain hadn't planned something to disturb Makoto's wedding as a way of getting revenge for Usagi leaving town before he could execute her. She wanted nothing to go wrong. Not today.
As Heero held out his hand to her to assist her in exiting the carriage, she thought, 'Whatever happens now, happens.' And they entered the temple, leaving only Duo and Makoto left to make their entrance.*
