Title: A New Beginning

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon so there! *sticks out tongue*
Well, this is getting out much later than I had hoped…Anyway, please review! I need at least 7 to go to the next chapter! Thank you! Also, I've gotten a little better at writing so I hope this chapter is better than the others. Oh and The Real Folk Blues from Cowboy Bebop does not belong to me! Okay? Okay.
Recommendations: Give A Reason by Sailor Ronin (aka Usagi-chan). The whole series of Give a Reason is incredibly amazing. Usagi-chan is an amazingly good writer. My favorite story form GaR is Give A Reason: Fushigi Yuugi Style.
Maybe She Was God is also an amazing story that you should all read, excuse me but I've stupidly forgotten the author's name but I give her great praise.
The final one that'll I'll recommend for this chapter is Virtues of the Western Frontier. This story, I should say, is my most favorite fanfic that I've ever written. Again I have forgotten the author's name, but I give her praise as well. She is an outstanding author and she will not let you down when writing her fanfiction. Believe me, you will love them all!
Now, I will leave you all to hopefully enjoy my story. Osaki ni, (Good Evening 'when leaving a room.')
A New Beginning
Usagi walked slowly towards the Crown Game Center, her eyes glued to the ground beneath her. It had been a few weeks since she had last seen her old friends. They had agreed to let her have some space and for that she was very grateful, but she missed them so much. At night, sometimes she'd lay down and whisper a small 'good night' to Luna, only to remember that her guardian cat wasn't there. Sometimes she'd trip and fall and raise her hand to be lifted up, only to remember that her Mamo-chan wasn't there to help her. The reality of it all was too much for her and some nights her mother would find her crying herself to sleep. Many a time her parents had confronted her but each time she would just say that her stomach hurt of she had gotten another 'F' on her report card.
Now, though that excuse could not be used for lately she had been getting terrific grades, A's, B's, and very few C's. Ms. Haruna was very proud of her.
Usagi caught herself. 'That's right, I don't go to Juuban High anymore.' That was one of many other changes that had happened in her life. Recently she had transferred to a different high school closer to her house; farther from everyone else's. Hayai An-nai was a good school, but for her it just wasn't the same. Her reputation was different there. She was the bubbly, happy go lucky, blonde tornado that was late and out of breath every morning and she wasn't the klutzy ditz who's best grade was a D. She was the shy, isolated blonde who was always on time, got good grades, and could walk much more elegantly. Her only friend was Mayonaka, Aki who was a friendly but shy brunette. The two had met on Usagi's first day when Aki was assigned as Usagi's "Buddy Hostess" to show her around school. They had hit it off immediately and since then were inseparable. Aki was the only thing that made Usagi not regret her previous decisions to change.
Usagi sighed and decided to pull her eyes away from the concrete beneath only, only to find out that she had long since past the Crown Game Center. "Oh well," she muttered "I'm not in the mood for video games anyway." She continued to walk, having no place in mind and soon began to hum. The melody was something that she had heard Aki sing once before and she struggled to remember the lyrics. In an instant the words came flowing and she began to sing.
Hitotsu no mede asu o mite
Hitotsu no me de kinou mitsumeteru
Kimi no ai no yurikageode
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara
Kawaita hitomi de daerka na itekure
The Real Folk Blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai
Ichido kiri de owarunara
"Excuse me miss, but that was lovely. You have an amazing singing voice." A deep male voice said behind her.
Usagi gasped and turned around, she hadn't heard anybody come up behind her. She turned rather quickly, the movement making her lose her balance and she fell into the arms of the unsuspecting stranger. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…"
The man chuckled softly, "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have startled you. I'm sorry."
Usagi stood up from his arms and brushed herself off. "No, no. I should have kept my ba-," She cut herself off as she looked at him. He had the most beautiful emerald green eyes she had ever seen. And his hair! Curly brown locks fell boyishly in front of his eyes as he smiled down at her. She squinted, realizing that she knew him. 'But from where?'
"Your name is Usagi, isn't it?"
Usagi looked up at him startled and he chuckled once again. "My name is Haru Yoku. I sit behind you in Science and Home-ec."
Her eyes widened in remembrance. 'How could I not remember the most rebellious boy in school… not to mention the hottest…' She smiled up at him and unconsciously backed up. "Oh yeah! Now I remember you… oh well nice seeing you, bye!"
He sighed noticing her actions. "I'm not going to rob you or anything." Usagi blushed, knowing she must've hurt his feelings. "I wanted to ask you a question in fact."
"And what would that be?" She asked rather nervously.
He smiled yet again, looking even sexier than she had thought possible. He moved closer to her, "I wanted to know if…you'd go out with me."
Her eyes widened. Since she had broken up with Mamoru she hadn't even considered dating. Haru frowned and ran a masculine hand through his hair. "You have a boyfriend don't you. Ah, man I should've known someone as beautiful would already be dating someone I'm sos sorry."
"Uh, no…" 'What the hell do you mean 'uh no'. You can't date a trouble maker.' Her subconscious scolded. '…then again' She thought, 'it'd be a great change from the normal 'perfect guy' thing. Maybe I need a change, it'll get my mind off of…certain things.'
"I'd love to go out with you. I don't have a boyfriend."
A big wide grin spread across his face. " Great. I'll pick you up at 8:00 on Friday, if you're free."
" I am. Uh, here's my address." She rummaged through her purse and grabbed a pen. She reached for his hand but he shook his head.
"That's okay, I'll get it another way."
"Oh really? And how is that?"
He smirked and lifted her chin. Then he leaned in until his lips were inches away from hers. Slowly he moved and brushed his lips against her ear. "Believe me, I have my ways."
He backed away slowly, turned, and walked away.
Usagi breathed in and out, her hand over her rapidly beating heart. 'Friday will be one interesting day. Wait till I tell Aki!'
Meanwhile, as this interesting event was going on, Rei watched on in silence. She too had been walking and had seen Usagi on the street across from her. Of course, she had had the urge to run up to her and hug her like there was no tomorrow but decided against it. She had begun to walk away when she noticed an extremely gorgeous man walk up behind her blonde friend and after a moment of them speaking, she could've sworn he kissed her. Rei smirked in thought of her friend moving on, actually finding herself a man. "I'm so proud of you Usagi… just make sure Mamoru doesn't find out. He just might kill that boy…anything can happen when jealousy rules the heart." She laughed at the thought of Mr. Perfect even hurting a fly. Then again, he did seem rather pissed when the he saw Demando try to kiss Usagi, and he looked as if he'd shoot someone right then and there when Usagi finally told him about Seiya.
Slowly she shook her head, Mamoru and Usagi made a perfect couple but if Usagi wanted some one new, then that was her decision to make, it was none of Rei's business. Everything else was, because unbeknownst to Usagi, the senshi had been tracking her every move. And they were all very jealous when she met her knew friend, Aki. Mamoru knew none of this though. They had broken almost every promise they had made to their friend, but they'd respect at least one of her wishes: don't tell Mamoru anything.
But Mamoru would find out soon enough, this she knew. "And he won't be happy."
************************
Previously, in my sisters story before I remade it, Haru was Danny and… rather geeky. And Usagi never transferred. But I changed all that, I wanted Haru to be cooler, more mysterious!
Also, I'm very sorry that I didn't update. The reason being: School sucks and so does almost everyone I know but hey, what the hell am I gonna do about it? So I hope you liked it and I'll try and update more recently again. Please! Give me some reviews! And! Email me here if you wish: StormyKnight002@ aol.com, okay? Plus, if there were some Japanese words in the previous chapters besides the names, there won't be anymore. I can't do that unless I can use them correctly, I don't want a bunch of Japanese people coming after me with pitchforks and what not. So love, peace, and chicken grease!
