OK to the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Usagi woke with a start. She remembered the last two days and was overcome by a lot. Which way was she supposed to feel? Happy, sad? She had been locked in her room for four days until Duo had come. She was grateful he was a friend. She didn't want to go any father though. They had been too close the other day. But Usagi deep down something said to go for it. She still was scared. Usagi shook the thought and decided to try and be on her cheerful side today. She had more fun that way. Usagi couldn't get Duo out of her head, what was she supposed to do? Usagi sighed and rolled out of bed.
Usagi grabbed her flute and walked outside to the bus. She was filled with excitement. She couldn't wait for the results. Would she have made it? Usagi barely saw what she was doing. She sat down on the bus next to Duo and stared out the window. She was in an excited daze. All of the sudden it was broken.
"So, are you excited?" Duo asked
Usagi nodded and smiled.
"I wonder who Romeo will be" she stated.
Usagi thought for a moment. What if she made Juliet and Duo made Romeo. Usagi would be happy for him but she didn't want him to be Romeo. It would go against everything. She was too scared. Usagi didn't want to love at all any more. She had already been scared. Though as Duo had said, not for life. Still it was enough to scare her. Usagi pondered on this the whole bus ride.
Usagi slowly walked into the main entrance where she saw a huge crowd of kids. There was a chart in front of them telling who got what parts. Usagi was so small she couldn't fit through but Duo helped her push through the huge crowd. She got closer to the paper but still couldn't see what it said. She could faintly read Romeo with small words next to it. Finally she got up to the list and she scrolled down the list looking for her name. It was there and it was under Juliet! Usagi was so excited but then she read under it. Right under Juliet was Romeo and the person who had won the spot was standing right next to her. Duo was going to be Romeo.
Usagi stood there in shock. Duo read it too. He didn't know what to say. He and Usagi would have to be Romeo and Juliet. What would happen to them, what if they got closer? Duo shook his head. How many times did he have to tell himself. They were just friends. Duo stood there in shock not even noticing Minako smiling in the corner of the crowd.
Usagi met up with her friends at lunch still in a daze. Makoto met up with her excitedly jumping around.
"Usagi, we all made it! Aren't you excited?" Makoto asked confused seeing the expression left on Usagi's face.
"Yes. I am excited, it's just that............" Usagi didn't continue her sentence. She couldn't tell Makoto, She would rather tell Minako it's just that she didn't want to spill it yet.
"What is it?" Makoto worriedly asked.
Usagi stared down and slightly shook her head. She knew she would have to tell them sometime soon. They probably already had gotten some hints. Just after that thought Usagi's question was answered.
"Is it something about Duo being Romeo?" Makoto guessed.
Usagi slightly nodded hoping nobody saw. Makoto put her hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Don't worry it's just a play, It will soon be over with"
Usagi nodded and smiled. She was glad she could rely on Makoto, Makoto had always understood. Usagi still missed Minako though. Usagi turned around and got a glimpse of Minako. She missed Minako too much. If Minako were back everything would be all right.
Minako noticed Usagi glancing at her and faced and turned Quatre and continued a conversation with him. She was still a little uneasy about Usagi but she knew both her and Usagi wanted to apologize at the same time, she could see it in her eyes. Minako glanced down at her feet trying to listen her best to what Quatre was saying. She wanted to talk to Usagi so bad. She felt so lonely. She was glad Quatre stayed with her. He was the only one that understood her. She looked up at Quatre and smiled. He smiled back and they both sat down at the table with the rest.
Usagi stepped on the stage next to Duo and waited for Ms.Calmar to come and give them the first instruction. They already had been given their packets and scripts. Ms.Calmar had told them she had wanted to practice the first scene right away. Duo glanced at Usagi. He saw excitement and fear in her eyes. Why fear? Duo looked at her face. She was giving off another one of her fake smiles. He couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong you're wearing another fake smile" he stated hoping for a reply interested on what he would get.
Usagi stared at him sadly and sighed. He always could read her, too easily. 'You were always able to do that since we met' she thought in her head. Usagi looked down at her shoes and then looked back at him. What could she tell him? Definitely not the truth. Usagi searched for a lie but couldn't think of one. Her thoughts were then interrupted by the door opening and Ms.Calmar heading toward them.
"I will be working on you two today, the rest are working with the other teacher" she explained. Usagi nodded but didn't want to say anything. Her lips felt like they were glued together. Duo also nodded but didn't say anything.
"OK just if I could ask you two, do you think you could both practice together after school with each other ?" Ms.Calmar asked trying not to give away what Minako had told her. She had told her that they were neighbors and that they were avoiding each other.
Usagi stood silent but then nodded. Duo nodded looking at Usagi's response.
'This is going to be hard' Usagi thought trying not to grimace.
Ms.Calmar frowned. It was just as Minako had said. Both of them were silent, she had to do something.
"OK" her voice boomed cheerfully hoping to get them out of their dazed stance. "If you two could speak that would be nice" she said with a smile playing on her face. Usagi smiled back. "Sure thing" she answered sweetly. Duo smiled. "OK" he replied.
"OK Usagi when you begin you are going to come out from your house. Duo you won't be coming out till later." Ms.Calmar began.
Duo nodded and didn't say anything. There wasn't much to say. What would the [play require him and Usagi to do? He didn't want to think about. He was broke in thought when Ms.Calmar motioned him to speak a line. He nodded and began.
After Usagi finished the last line of the day. Ms.Calmar gathered them. She had a big smile on her face. 'Could I really have done that well?' Duo thought.
"That was really good! Both of you did an excellent job for the first day. I just need to mention one thing. Since this is a high -school play it is much more than a middle school play. Yes you will have to kiss. If there is a problem I will get another person for your role. All you need to do is just practice that part. I know it's a little much but this year I want this play to be a very touching one. If you two just practiced kissing that would be great" Ms.Calmar finished smiling.
Usagi tried not to frown as best as she could, it was taking all of her muscles. 'No!!!" her mind screamed. If she hadn't wanted to please Ms.Calmar so much she would have instantly backed away form the part. This couldn't happen. Why did everything happen the wrong way? She wasn't ready for this. She looked over at Duo he had the same kind of look. Then Usagi remembered what Makoto had said. Usagi took a deep breath and encouragement filled inside of her. She reminded to thank Makoto later. What would happen now? Would Duo back down or would he stay. Usagi wasn't sure about her emotions but she felt almost relief at the bottom of her heart, but why?
Duo sank to the bottom of his bus seat. Usagi was sitting at the back of the bus. She looked sad. Duo couldn't blame her. He wished he could comfort her though. 'Why not?' a voice asked. 'Not you again' Duo thought. 'Why do you keep coming?' Duo asked the voice in his head. There was no response. He remembered what Ms.Calmar had said. He would have to kiss Usagi. His memory flashed back to the day she had kissed him on the cheek about two days ago. Then a long lost memory came back to him. One he had totally forgotten about . One that had been kept in his heart. The day he had left the airport. She had seemed so attached to him. He also remembered the feeling he had had when she had kissed him on the cheek. Duo couldn't rid of these thoughts. Though knowing he needed to schedule times he would practice with her.
Duo moved to the back of the bus and sat down next to Usagi. She blushed and didn't say anything. Duo cleared his voice hoping she would look at him.
"When do you want to practice?" Duo asked bringing the conversation up on his own. Usagi thought, she wanted to practice as much as she could so she would please Ms.Calmar. She had told them to practice every day so she just answered automatically.
"Today would be fine" she answered. She looked down at her lap and felt her blush start to fade away. Duo noticed her reaction and his head went down too. He knew how she felt about this.
"Look, I'm sorry about all of this" he muttered still staring down hoping Usagi would except this. Usagi looked up and stared at him and smiled.
She shook her head. "It's not your fault" she whispered.
Duo slightly nodded and shifted. He wish there wouldn't be something in between them. "Whose house?" he asked getting rid of the unbearable silence.
"Mine" Usagi answered looking out the window. Her parents wouldn't be home till late. Then they wouldn't have her mom bothering them. If her mom were there she wouldn't know what she would do. What if she saw them kissing? Usagi shook her head at the thought and watched as the bus pulled up to the curb.
Duo and Usagi entered her silent and empty house. Usagi threw her book-bag down on the couch and walked into the kitchen. "You can put your book-bag anywhere" she told him looking around in the fridge for a snack.
"Do you want anything to eat?" she asked not staring at him.
Duo shook his head. "No thanks"
Usagi closed the fridge door and walked into the living room with Duo. She wasn't that hungry but eating helped her get rid of her thoughts. Duo slightly fidgeted, he felt a little awkward staying alone with Usagi.
"So where should we start?" Usagi asked pulling out her scripts. She looked at Duo waiting for an answer. He already had his script out and was reading it. Duo spotted the first place they were supposed to kiss and he immediately flipped the page.
"Why don't we start at the beginning" he suggested flipping to the part where the first met in the play. Usagi nodded and flipped to the page.
"I'll start" she stated sighing heavily before starting to read her part. Then Duo responded by reading his. Duo was lost in the play to think about his thoughts. He was glad that the lines got rid of it.
Duo read his next line and then realized where they were. It was the page where they were supposed to kiss. He looked up at Usagi. She blushed deeply. He didn't want to kiss her on surprise or anything so he asked. He felt so uncomfortable doing this.
"Well?" he asked blushing deeply.
This only made Usagi blush deeper. When she kissed Derek she had never blushed, but this seemed different. She didn't want to kiss him. 'Please No' her mind begged. The only thing that made her lean forward was the point of pleasing her teacher. Duo felt stupid doing this but another part of him longed for it. He leaned down not knowing what to do. His face came closer to hers and he felt her nervous breathing. His breath was uneven and did not match her pattern. When he cocked his head to kiss her softly their noses hit each other. Duo backed away rubbing it away. Usagi just chuckled.
"You've never kissed anyone have you?" she asked looking him in the eye.
"No" Duo muttered blushing more.
"You have though haven't you?" he asked not thinking what he was doing.
Usagi stared down at the ground. She didn't want to be reminded of Derek. That awful night. She felt tears developing in her eyes. She looked back up at Duo and nodded.
"Yes" she replied softly.
Suddenly Usagi let out her thoughts.
"That night...." She began trying not to let her tears get the best of her.
Duo noticed her reaction. He didn't want her to cry again. He wanted her to stop. Without thinking he gently grabbed her chin making her look him in the eye.
"He'll never do that again" he reassured her.
He didn't want her heart to break again. She had been so happy the past few days, she didn't want her to be sad again. He wanted to comfort her and soothe her with words he had never spoken.
"At least you were there" Usagi said trying to avoid thinking about Derek.
A new emotion showed in her eyes. Duo didn't know what to make of it. Something automatically came out of his mouth. A tear at the same time escaped Usagi's eye.
"I'll always watch over you" he whispered leaning forward. Another tear escaped and then another. Their breaths started to mingle. He softly rubbed her chin where his hand was. He searched her eyes over and over. Sadness definitely showed through them. Duo wanted to wash her sadness and fear away. Her eyes were an endless blue and they sparkled because of the tears.
'No' Usagi thought. One part of her said no. She was too scared, but another part told her to react by instinct. She didn't listen to anything. Duo's lips were so close to hers she swore they were touching the hairs of her cheek. Another tear escaped her cheek and then Duo surprised her by his action.
He leaned down and kissed her tears away. His lips were soothing and comforting to her. His lips slid down her cheek and finally met hers. His lips had left a hot trail down her cheek. His lips soothed all of her emotions that she had had. Her mind said no but a small part of her heart longed for more. His lips caressed hers in a gentle kiss that showed both of their emotions. His lips were soft and comforting. Usagi was lost in a swirl of emotions and her eyes were shut leaving the world alone. It was just her and Duo.
Duo couldn't believe what he was doing. Was this part of practice or for real? His heart longed for more but he didn't know what Usagi would think of that. He didn't want to let go of Usagi's lips but knowing about Usagi being scared he slowly parted it. He hadn't wanted that one to be real. Usagi stared at him in shock. That one had to be for practice. What if it had been for real? 'It was' a voice inside her said. 'No!' Usagi screamed in her head impossible.
Usagi needed to cover up. But how? Her mind screamed. What could she do? She then realized it had been for real. Her eyes widened.
Duo realized her reaction and stepped forward but she stepped back. "Usagi I'm sorry" he begged.
"Iie" she whispered. She stared with a blank and hurt expression.
"Usagi" Duo whispered. What had he done. 'Baka' he thought.
Usagi stepped closer. Her mind and her heart were fighting. They were ripping and at each other but so far her heart was winning. She ran up to Duo and he took her in his embrace.
She buried her head in his shirt and cried. Duo held her to him and rocked slowly trying to soothe her. Why had he done that? He was such a fool. His heart had gone against him, his feelings had shown. Her body felt warm against his. Duo felt his shirt get wet and he did nothing, he didn't care about his shirt, he cared about her.
"Usagi, I'm so sorry" he whispered his heart tugging at him.
Usagi nodded against his shirt. She was glad he had apologized. She was so confused right now. She didn't know what to think of his kiss. It had bee so passionate........... Her thoughts trailed. She let go of Duo and stared at him in the eye. "It's OK" she answered. She smiled and it was a cheerful one.
Duo smiled back grateful she felt better. She stood on her toes and lightly kissed his cheek. And then she put her lips against his ear.
"As long as it's for the play" she said smiling.
He smiled back and shook his head. Usagi could be happy when she was sad. She was an impossible girl. He was glad he had met her. He broke the moment by looking at his watch. "I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be a little late tomorrow because I'm meeting the guys after school" he explained.
Usagi nodded understandingly. "I'll wait for you here so we can practice" she said sweetly. Duo nodded and gathered his stuff. He walked out of the door and slowly closed it. Usagi stood there half in a daze.
"Why..........." She whispered staring at the closed door.

Usagi nodded against his shirt. She was glad he had apologized. She was so confused right now. She didn't know what to think of his kiss. It had bee so passionate........... Her thoughts trailed. She let go of Duo and stared at him in the eye. "It's OK" she answered. She smiled and it was a cheerful one.
Duo smiled back grateful she felt better. She stood on her toes and lightly kissed his cheek. And then she put her lips against his ear.
"As long as it's for the play" she said smiling.
He smiled back and shook his head. Usagi could be happy when she was sad. She was an impossible girl. He was glad he had met her. He broke the moment by looking at his watch. "I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be a little late tomorrow because I'm meeting the guys after school" he explained.
Usagi nodded understandingly. "I'll wait for you here so we can practice" she said sweetly. Duo nodded and gathered his stuff. He walked out of the door and slowly closed it. Usagi stood there half in a daze.
"Why..........." She whispered staring at the closed door.
