THANK YOU FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!!!
Disclaimer: Sailormoon and all its characters do not belong to me. Any resemblance to any other story is coincidental and not intentional.
This story happened after the senshi defeated Beryl and *** deviates*** from the original version.
I could not remember the Japanese version of Tuxedo Mask, so I kept his name as it is and I don't know the Japanese protocol for saying Mr. And Mrs. Sorry!
Chapter 13: Acceptance
Sitting around the table, Usagi looked at her parents, then at Mamoru. The table was deafeningly silent except for the sounds of eating and the occasional 'Please pass me the.' and burp from Shingo. Surprisingly, the dishes Usagi had helped cook was eatable and actually quite nice.
Her father suddenly cleared his throat.
"So, Mamoru, tell us more about yourself."
Mamoru placed his chopsticks down and gazed at Tsukino-san calmly.
"What do you want to know sir? My life is an open book."
Ikuko spoke up. "What about your family, Chiba-san?"
There was a pause as Mamoru glanced at Usagi and Usagi reciprocated.
"Well." started Mamoru. He then looked at Kenji. "Both my parents have past away. We were involved in a car accident when I was six. I was the only survivor."
"Oh!" gasped Ikuko. Kenji looked down at his seemingly very interesting bowl.
"We're so sorry, Chiba-san! We didn't know!" Ikuko apologised.
"It's O.K. You would not have known anyway," Mamoru reassured the Tsukino's
"Cool," said Shingo. "So who looked after you when they died?"
"Shingo!" scolded Usagi. "Don't be so insensitive!"
"What?" shrugged Shingo. "OW!" as Usagi kicked him under the table. They glowered at each other.
Mamoru placed his hand over Usagi's on the table. Usagi looked towards him.
"It's alright, Usagi. They have the right to know," said Mamoru and he then faced Shingo. "I was raised in an orphanage until two years ago. I was very lonely until I met Usagi. She changed my life." He smiled at his girlfriend.
"That's so sad, Chiba-san!" said Ikuko. "So you are alone?"
Mamoru smiled at Usagi again and kept on gazing into her eyes. "Well, I don't consider myself to be alone anymore. Usagi brightens up my life and I am forever grateful that she is here. That is why I came tonight. I wanted to say thank you for bringing up such a beautiful and smart angel."
Shingo snorted and began eating again.
"OW!" cried Shingo and looked around to find that it was his mother who had kicked him.
Ikuko glared at him and then looked at Kenji, her glance saying many words.
"Thank you, Chiba-san. I think she is wonderful too. It is wonderful to see the two of you so much in love."
Now it was Kenji's turn to glower at the couple. After all, Usagi was still his little girl.
Usagi saw the look her father was giving them.
"Dad, can you be happy for us? We belong with each other and we want your approval," she pleaded.
After a long silent pause, Kenji suddenly sighed in defeat.
"I guess so. But there will be conditions if this relationship is to continue. First, you have to keep your grades up, Usagi."
Usagi smiled happily. "Yes, of course, Daddy. Mamoru has been helping me with that."
"Secondly, there will be no late nights with him."
Usagi looked at Mamoru in questions. Her parents still did not know about her secret identity of Sailormoon.
"Yes, Daddy," sighed Usagi, knowing if she did not at least try, then her parents would not allow her to be with Mamoru.
"Third, we want to be informed about your where-abouts, Usagi. No sneaking behind our backs."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Lastly, and this is to Chiba-san. Do not forget Usagi is five years younger than you! She is only 15!!" Kenji stated angrily.
Mamoru replied without pause. "Of course, sir. Usagi is the light of my life and I will never do anything to hurt her. I will protect her with my life." The couple looked at each other, knowing how much of that was true every night the Senshi fought with the youmas.
"That is so sweet, Chiba-san," sighed Ikuko. Kenji just glared.
"Please, Tsukino-san, call me Mamoru," Mamoru asked.
"Oh of course, Mamoru! Or is it Mamo-chan?" asked Ikuko slyly.
The young couple blushed furiously.
"Now, now," scolded Kenji, "Now that we have all that out of the way, let's finish dinner."
"Great thinking Dad!" supported Shingo.
"Yes! How is that meat, Mamo-chan?" Usagi asked. "I cooked it myself!"
***
Mamoru and Usagi stepped out the house. She instantly turned towards him as soon as the door closed.
"Oh Mamo-chan!" She reached to hug in and held tight.
Mamoru reciprocated. "Usako."
Silence.
"It's over, Usako. Everything is alright," reassured Mamoru.
"I know!" cried Usagi into his jacket. "I'm so relieved no one was hurt tonight!"
"Oh Usako," laughed Mamoru. "I don't think your father is that unreasonable."
Usagi lifted her head and looked at Mamoru. "You don't know my father, Mamo-chan! Anyway, I am glad that it's over. Finally!" She leaned her head back onto his chest.
"Yes. Finally. We have nothing to hide," repeated Mamoru.
Usagi lifted her head again. "Except for the Senshi. Will we have to tell them? I don't think they will take it too well, their daughter risking her life each night."
"Well, there hasn't been anymore youmas lately. But I supposed this is something all the senshi have to decide to do," reasoned Mamoru.
"Yes, I guess so."
"Let's go for a drive, Usako. Is there time?" asked Mamoru.
"Of course there is! I'll get my jacket and I will be right out!" smiled Usagi as she ran into the house.
***
"Mom! Mamoru and I are going for a drive!" Usagi shouted as she ran down the stairs with her jacket. "I'll be back in a few hours!"
Ikuko came out of the kitchen.
"Usagi! Don't stay out too late! Your father will not like it."
Usagi stopped in front of the door. "Yes Mother. I won't be late."
Ikuko smiled and watched her daughter leave the house.
Kenji walked into the hall with the newspaper.
"Where'e Usagi going so late at night?" he asked his wife.
Ikuko turned to face him. "Just for a drive, Kenji."
Kenji's face starting going red. "A drive? This late?"
"Kenji! Don't worry, Usagi knows what she is doing. And besides, we have to trust her."
"Hurrumph," stormed Kenji and he walked away.
"I hope you know what you are doing, Usagi," Ikuko said to herself.
