Chapter 3 - A Friend In Need Or In Need Of A Friend?
Hello. I'm back. I'm gonna try my best to work on this story as fast as I could, besides I don't feel anything anymore for S/U. I believe that you should express your feelings when you feel the need, well right now I'm really in need for a muse that can help me keep this story going. But don't worry because I give my word that I won't leave this story unfinished because I think that's very rude. I'm so sorry for taking so long to update but I really don't know what Sailor Moon is about anymore. Well, read on I guess.

Usa's POV
"Tsukino Usagi!" his voice keeps repeating in my mind.
What is this supposed to mean? Where are we going from now on? What does Seiya think he's doing? I hadn't known about any of this! This is just unbelievable! Who does he think he is? Saying that we're getting married without even giving me a before-note? It doesn't matter if he's just trying to get out of a jam, doesn't he realize that he just ruined my whole life?! All my dreams, all my wishes, the things that I wanted to do before I settle down? I would gladly marry him, if he had asked me first! What gives him the right to live my life for me?
Angrier than I had been all my life I slapped Seiya in front of all the busy-bodies that does nothing but gossip everyday. Instantly I regretted it, maybe I was being too harsh? He looked sorry. Well, not really, he only looked like he might die from shock. Having no other choice, I ran, as fast as I can from the room, from my troubles and an indignant best friends that I had left behind.
Bitter tears spilling from my eyes, I ran down the elegantly carpeted hall and the rich mahogany stairs all the way outside where some 'later-than-neccessary-guests' were still arriving.
Vaguely I hear someone shouting my name, but on I ran. Would Seiya hate me after this? And his family? How am supposed to explain this to my father? My friends? Why does my life have to be so complicated. In the heat of the moment I blamed that all powerful creater up above, not many people know this but I am highly religious. Seiya thought it was ridiculous, Ami doesn't believe it's true, Rei didn't like it because she's a shinto priestess, and it clashes(AN: I really don't remember the rules of Shinto), Minako-chan and the others didn't really care.
I did this everyday when I was going to grade school, I didn't get along with my parents then, and I still don't understand my father even now, I used to be late everyday and on my way I'd cry and I always blamed it on somebody. Later when Seiya came along, I blamed everything on him, I guess I never really apologised for it.
Speeding past the city park I kept running. There was a dear spot that I love by here somewhere (AN: I have never ever been to New York, so bear with me if it's wrong or something), Mako-chan showed me, she loves flowers and nature. She told me she found it the day she found out that her parents died in that plane crash. It was sacred to her and I'm very thankful to be a friend that she trusts so much.
Spotting the path in the little woods, I walked towards it trying to be as quiet as I could. The dim moonlight enluminating everything with an ethereal glow, it wasn't the harsh glare of the midnoon sun, it was different from a rainbow after the rain, more magical than watching sunsets with loved ones and even different from the early dawn. Even admist the ethereal beauty of this magical world, shivers ran up my spine, even with all its beauty, the moon had not managed to loose the god-like quality that had always managed to cast the human kind out.
Beyond the shadows, in the center of this magical world, the biggest and oldest tree I have ever seen in my whole life stood proudly. Its lush foliages shielding the worn bark from the outside world.
Quietly, I made my way to the biggest root that could be seen. Tucking my skirt around me, I plopped down on the ground quite un-ladylike. Ah well, I really don't care at the moment. After a few minutes of reminiscing, I realized that I don't even feel like crying, the anger had worn off and now that I cooled down, tonight's event seemed almost funny. Laughing out loud with happy and relieved tears, I recalled a few jokes that my friends had made about me and Seiya a few years ago.
Sighing tiredly, my back touched the cool wood of the oak, eyes already closing. When suddenly...a rose appeared in my face. I almost screamed.
"Guess who?" A friendly voice asked. Relieved I sighed, thinking it was Seiya. Turning around I found a head of mass dark hair and sparkling eyes, wrong, sparkling eyes.
"Chiba-san?" Sounding almost mortified I asked not believing my eyes. So Seiya had not come. Was he really that mad?
"Were you expecting somebody else?" He asked, curiously.
I wanted to say yes, but thought against it. Smiling as warmly as I could at the moment, I shook my head no.
"So, what happened back there?" He asked, still wheezing a little, proabably having chased me across half of the city on foot. (AN: The city thing is a figure of Speech.)
"I don't think I want to talk about it just yet." I lied, it was too personal to tell somebody I had just met today, even if he happens to be tall, dark-haired and handsome. (AN:Ewww...)
"Oh, okay. I just thought that it would help if you talked about it to someone." He sighed wistfully staring up at the moon.
"Oh, well...no offense Chiba-san, but I don't think I could talk about something so personal to someone that I had just recently met." I tried to explain politely.
"Sometimes it's better to talk to a stranger, someone who won't have time to judge you. Whose judgement you won't really care about anyways." Chiba-san was getting really persistant.
"I don't think so." I refused, flat-out. Can't he take a hint?!
"Hn." He was silent for a long time, I was so afraid that I had offended him.
"Well, do you want to come back to the party with me?" Beaming, he offered his arm.
"Oh, I think I'll stay here for a little if you don't mind. Why don't you go without me. I'll be along shortly." I tried to sound as courteous as possible. He has a lot of power, and offending him might not be the best choice that I can make.
"Are you sure it's safe? C'mon. Come back with me. We can even go back to my apartment if you don't want to face your friends just yet." He encouraged. I was beginning to get nervous from his tone. What does he mean by that exactly?
"NO. Thank you Chiba-san, for the offer, but I really don't think I should. Just go without me. I need to be alone for a minute." Angered, I said. Not too politely either.
"Excuse me? I was just trying to be nice. How dare you!" I watched fearfully as his eyes blazed with fire. Oh...now what have I gotten myself into? I cowered, expecting a hideous monster to come out of the man before me.
"I'm sorry! But I really think you should go. I'm my own person, and you have no right to try to boss me around." Trying to sound brave, I hoped with all of my being that he would just back off and go, which wasn't the case. Then again, I've always had rotten luck.
"You are coming with me no matter what!" Chiba literally growled. How do I get myself into these messes? Somebody help me! I felt myself being dragged, I wanted to scream for help, but no sound made past my lips. I tried to resist, to pull away, but with no avail. Then I felt a smack, everything was becoming blurry, then all went black...
