Second Chances
Chapter Four
"Turn around,
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe,
As magical and wondrous as you,
Turn Around,
Every now and then I know there's nothing any
better,
There's nothing that I just wouldn't do,"
-Total Eclipse of the Heart by Nikki French
"Okay Usagi, you can do this." Usagi told herself as she peeked around the corner of a bookshelf in the school library. The three librarians could be seen at their desk, looking around to see if anyone was looking before ducking under their desks to take a drink of whatever liquor they had stored. It was a well-known fact by all the students that the librarians probably had half a liquor store hidden throughout the library. Of course no one had ever really told on the librarians because the three young men were very nice and incredibly funny when it came to knowing where any books were. Currently though Usagi was not in there to get a book, she was trying to get up the nerve to talk to Mamoru. It was easier if someone was there with her. This was just making her nervous. Very nervous.
"Usagi? Is that you?" Usagi's face went bright red as Mamoru's deep blue eyes had caught her peeking around the corner. AHHHHHH! What should I do? Just act natural! Usagi started to force laughter and grab the nearest book, causing several others to fall on the ground in her rush.
"Um, yeah, just looking at books you know?" Usagi looked down at what book was in her hands. The Complete Encyclopedia on Insects. She dropped it like it was a bug itself as the cover had a large close-up of a cockroach.
"Oh, are you interested in insects?" Mamoru asked politely trying not to laugh a little at the blonde girl as she tried to shove the fallen books back onto shelves.
"Um…" Usagi trailed off. Don't sound stupid. "Not really."
"Do you want to come walk with me?" Mamoru asked. Usagi looked up at him as if he were crazy. She was sure he would think she was weird or dumb or something but he didn't. Usagi flashed him her biggest smile in appreciation.
"Okay!" Usagi jumped up and walked out of the library with him.
"So Usagi, how have you been?" Mamoru turned to talk to her, as they walked outside of the school building. School had just gotten over with and Usagi had followed him to the library.
"I've been fine." Usagi felt her face heat up. Mamoru was so incredibly handsome that she couldn't believe he was walking with her. "I had Hotaru over yesterday."
"I know, I heard all about it." Mamoru smiled brilliantly. Usagi could have started drooling if she wasn't trying to compose herself. "I'm glad that you and Hotaru are getting to be good friends, I've always felt bad about how she's never had any friends. It's kind of all my fault."
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked, stepping in front of him, stopping him in his tracks.
"I mean that it's my fault that she doesn't have friends. See, when I was five, Hotaru arrived at the orphanage. Some little kids were beating me up, they beat me up a lot cause I was kind of quiet. Hotaru tried to help me out and they pushed her in the mud, ever since then she's never had any friends." Mamoru admitted looking very downcast.
"That's not true! It's not your fault, it's everyone else's for treating you guys like dirt!" Usagi's face fell slightly. "I guess…I'm kind of guilty of that too. Last year I never even spoke to you guys."
"Don't say that!" Mamoru grabbed her shoulders suddenly. "When you…when you…" Mamoru trailed off one of his hands going up to his own cheek, going slightly red in the face.
"I just don't think you should blame yourself because of Hotaru." Usagi felt her breath catch as Mamoru looked at her in a whole new light. "Cause, your both great people! I'm sure that you could make lots and lots of friends."
"You…" Mamoru once more couldn't find the words to express what he was feeling. "I don't think there's anyone in the world much like you Usagi." Usagi went bright red and looked down at her feet. "Do you want to have dinner with me this Friday?"
"D-dinner?" Usagi felt her that heart was singing and doing a tap dance number all at once. "Friday? Sure!"
"Really? You will?" Mamoru looked so happy that Usagi felt instant gratification swelling up in her heart.
"Of course!" Usagi giggled.
"Hey you two!" Hotaru's voice called out from about half a schoolyard away. The pale-skinned girl ran up to them smiling.
"Hi Hotaru!" Usagi greeted.
"So what have you two been doing?" Hotaru beamed at them. She was obviously happy that Usagi had taken their advice.
"Nothing much, just making plans for Friday." Mamoru coughed slightly trying to hide his reddened face behind his hand.
"Plans for Friday huh?" Hotaru raised an eyebrow a little trying really hard not to start laughing. Of course it did not help the two people in front of her, who could have been related to lobsters at that moment.
Kakyuu twirled a lock of hair with one finger. She always did like her hair, always soft and shiny. If everything in the world fell apart she knew that she could still touch her hair and it would be just the way it was now. For once she did not have it back in a braid but rather in huge loops pinned to the side of her head. It was almost as if she was at the palace on Kinmokusei. If she turned her head, she would see her three guardians, waiting patiently for any sort of request of order. Kakyuu turned her head and instead realized that she was having tea with Setsuna.
"What are thinking about Kakyuu?" Setsuna's garnet eyes had misted over slightly, making wonder where Setsuna was.
"The past." Kakyuu knew that she often thought more about the past then the present. It was odd, now that she had found them, her Starlights, she could not wait till they remembered. Setsuna said that one day they would. It happened every lifetime. Kakyuu tried hard to see if she could remember any other lifetimes but she never could.
"Kakyuu, I was wondering. This is a different lifetime from the last, will you tell him?" The piercing gaze which had now settled on Kakyuu made her wonder if Setsuna could see straight into her soul.
"It is too late. He…" Kakyuu trailed off, the pain of the words causing her to wince slightly. She could not say it. Or would not.
"You'll go another lifetime without saying a word?" Setsuna frowned in concern. "Kakyuu, that is the coward's way out."
"How can I possibly tell him?" Kakyuu felt a tear roll down her cheek. "He fell for Usagi again. I cannot compete with such a gentle soul as her and yet I know he will find misery because she loves another."
"You know you can tell him. You've been longing to do it since you first met him." Setsuna's face was now expressionless. Her eyes however looked sad.
"I was going to, in the last life." Kakyuu confessed. "Then I was married to someone else. When Galaxia killed him I felt free. I was ashamed then. Ashamed and could not face anyone. Not even my Starlights. But after that he was in love with Usagi. What would you have done?"
"I can not say." Setsuna lifted her cup to her lips. "Kakyuu, everything is different now. You can tell him this time. I know it."
"Then I promise that in this lifetime I will tell him." Kakyuu vowed bravely. She still felt scared, he would not want her after all. Or could he? This turmoil and self-denial meant a lifetime of pain, but perhaps no more.
"Sell on cookies!" Hotaru exclaimed as she rushed up to the display in the grocery store. Mamoru was a hundred miles away though, thinking about Friday. It was tomorrow after all. He was growing more and more nervous every moment. Usagi was beautiful and kind and…Mamoru shook his head trying to focus on what he was doing. Too late however did he attempt this because he had just crashed into the aforementioned display of cookies.
"Great..." Mamoru wanted to smack himself on the forehead at that moment. Not only had he just crashed into a display of cookies, which had made packages of them go all over the floor, but also a certain trio of girls had just rounded the corner of an aisle. Minako, the bubbly blonde was chattering non-stop, while Rei and Makoto added in at random places. They had stopped and were all wearing identical expressions of slight disdain.
"Mamoru! Help me pick these up!" Hotaru hit him on the back to get his attention, and then she noticed the three girls staring at them. "Um, hello."
"Usagi's going on a date with this guy?" Minako tried to whisper but it didn't work very well as everyone heard it. Hotaru's face fell slightly. Mamoru felt his heart fall into his stomach. If Usagi's friends didn't like him then he knew she might decide that she did not want to be friend with him or go on a date.
"The cart seemed to have slipped out of my hands." Mamoru scratched the back of his head nervously as several workers began to appear out of nowhere and help put the cookies back.
"Usagi likes him, so…" Makoto's voice carried only a little before a dropped below Mamoru and Hotaru's hearing range.
"Mamoru, why do you want to take Usagi on a date?" Minako suddenly leaned in inquisitively. Mamoru was vaguely reminded of something. He couldn't say what though.
"Er…well…" Mamoru's face flushed as he tried to think of a really good answer. So in addition to looking like a klutz, I'm going to look like an idiot too.
"Come on Minako, let's just finish getting the stuff Makoto needs." Rei interrupted the conversation. She was obviously trying to avoid any type of confrontation at the moment.
"This is important. Just because he saved her from that car, doesn't mean she should have to go on a date with him. A real hero wouldn't ask for anything in return." Minako folded her arms, nodding her head at her own statement.
"But Mamoru didn't-" Hotaru had tried to jump to his defense but Makoto cut her off.
"No, Minako has a point." Makoto's expression suggested that Mamoru better answer.
"I didn't ask for anything in return." Mamoru stated very clearly. Minako still looked suspicious of him though.
"So why is Usagi going on a date with you? That was the only thing I could think of." Minako threw her hands up into the air in defeat. "I mean Kou Seiya likes her!"
"Um." Hotaru started to say before clearing her throat. "Maybe…"
"Minako, I'm going with Makoto now." Rei started to walk away, her tone holding a firm warning.
"Fine. Don't get any funny ideas about Usagi, Mamoru." Minako finished before walking off, following the two other girls. Hotaru looked a little sad and melancholy. Mamoru still wasn't sure what was going on. Why didn't Minako seem to like him? Not that the others seemed like they wanted to be his best friends, but still…
Minako, Rei, and Makoto had been walking down an aisle for several moments, completely in silence. None of them were sure what they wanted to say at this point. Finally Rei got sick of it and stopped them.
"Okay, Minako, what was that about?" Rei asked, unable to help it. Minako was just acting weird.
"What do you mean? That guy, we barely know him!" Minako defended herself.
"Oh but were all great friends with Seiya!" Rei replied sarcastically. "Now seriously, Minako, what was that all about?"
"Do you really want to know?" Minako bit her lip in hesitation. Rei and Makoto nodded together, making Minako began her spiel. "When I was in seventh grade, during the summer I had to go to this summer camp right?"
"Yeah, so?" Makoto prompted the blonde to go on.
"Usagi did not come so I really did not know anyone. There were two guys there that seemed to be interested in me. One who all the girls were fawning over." Minako paused. "The other was sort of a loner. The loner saved me from almost drowning in a canoe accident. I fell in love and practically worshipped him. The other popular one asked me to the dance at the end of camp. Oh I wish I could remember his name. So did the loner. I picked the loner. Do you know what happened?" Minako's bitter tone told them that he wasn't something good. "He never showed up. I sat at my cabin and waited all night. The popular boy waved good-bye to me the next day as we all left. The loner did not even come within ten feet of me."
"So you think that the same thing will happen to Usagi?" Rei inquired. "I did not think Mamoru came off as the type to do that, however the situations are very similar…"
"Do you think we should talk Usagi out of tomorrow then?" Makoto asked. Minako shook her head.
"No, but I think we should be on guard all the same." Minako suggested. Rei and Makoto agreed to this, then they all went on with their shopping.
Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, and Kakyuu were walking the school hallways on Friday morning. It always made them feel important to see the crowds part for them. Of course with all the weird flashes of something that seemed to have happened before. Seiya was sure that this arrangement, Kakyuu had walked behind them, while they walked a little in front of her in a protective fashion, had happened before. It was time to broach the subject that they all hadn't really mentioned. One problem was Yaten. Yaten was not the sharing type. He changed the conversation subject whenever it came close to talking about the dream they had all shared and any other weird flashes of something that seemed to have happened in the past. Seiya decided, now that they had stopped and were now chatting lightly, that he should try to bring it up.
"Have you guys had any other weird dreams?" Seiya questioned them. Yaten gave him his normal I'm-pissed-off-and-hate-everything look and Taiki with a raised eyebrow, making him seem like the intellectual superior of the group. Kakyuu's face suddenly became almost innocent looking.
"Weird dreams? Oh, are you still going through puberty? Their called wet dreams Seiya." Yaten could keep a wonderfully straight face while Kakyuu's face went red at the suggestion of it all and Seiya's face looked as if he was going to punch Yaten.
"Um, Yaten, it's called tact." Taiki retorted. "Kakyuu isn't a boy you know." Kakyuu looked down at her feet.
"What I meant before Yaten interrupted me was did you guys have any more weird dreams about a princess and fighting someone else? Because I have." Seiya asked them seriously. "More importantly I saw the princess. I mean saw her face."
"Really?" Yaten blurted out, then scowled at everyone at if it was their fault he had said anything.
"You did? What did she look like?" Taiki already had the notebook he was documenting everything in and a pen.
"I know who she is." Seiya announced and Kakyuu's eyes were about the size of dinner plates, full of mixed expressions.
"Are you going to tell us or are you just going to be a loser about it?" Yaten asked him grumpily.
"Okay well first hear me out." Seiya took a deep breath. "We all had these dreams right? In mine someone yelled at me. Their voice was very familiar to me. I recognized it as Yaten's."
"That could be a subconscious…" Taiki trailed off as he frowned slightly while writing this all down.
"He called me StarFighter. Now that means that if it is just a strange dream, then Yaten's voice could have just been some sort of weird dream thing right?" Seiya waited till the others nodded. "Now I want to try something. Yaten. Say "StarFighter! Get off the ground."
"Okay fine." Yaten looked rather annoyed. "StarFighter! Get off the ground!" Suddenly though Yaten wasn't seeing Seiya, Taiki, and Kakyuu like he had. They were all wearing the strangest outfits. Kakyuu was dressed very regally. Like a princess…
"So?" Seiya prompted. Yaten realized that his vision had faded. They weren't standing on a battlefield. They were standing in the school hall.
"You've got to be kidding! Kakyuu?!" Yaten turned to the red-haired girl as if wanting some sort of explanation. "What does this prove?"
"You saw her too didn't you? Kakyuu is the princess in our dreams." Seiya smiled knowingly and Kakyuu's eyes could hardly get any wider with shock and maybe a light of hopefulness. "Maybe this isn't some sort of weird dream thing. Maybe their memories."
"Memories of what?" Taiki inquired, now chewing while pondering all this on his pen.
"A past life." Seiya finally pronounced.
"A past life? Do you realize what we were wearing? Those weren't boy clothes." Yaten suddenly realized what was so strange about Seiya and Taiki in those dreams. They were girls.
"Maybe we were women?" Seiya shrugged. "Who knows?"
"If I may bring up a point," Taiki paused slightly before going on. "Kakyuu has been awfully quiet about all this. I mean if someone told me that I was a princess that people had been dreaming about, I would think there was something wrong with them. Yet, Kakyuu hasn't said a word."
"What like Kakyuu is holding back on us? Yep, that's Kakyuu, always the scheming deviant mastermind." Yaten replied sarcastically. They all were looking at Kakyuu who got the oddest expression before looking down at her feet. Yaten wanted to smack someone. "Oh that is it. Between past lives and weird secrets, I've had about enough of this. I'm going for a walk." Yaten turned to leave and Seiya stopped him.
"Yaten, don't you want to know if Kakyuu knows something?" Seiya asked. Yaten gave him a very level stare before walking off. Kakyuu was looking rather weird she looked terribly confused and unsure. She did the first thing that came to mind. She ran. Seiya stared after the running red head as if it wasn't possible.
"Maybe you should go after Kakyuu. I'll go talk to Yaten." Taiki rolled his eyes slightly, while putting his things away. Taiki walked off calmly and Seiya had to take off at a run.
Kakyuu breathed a sigh of relief. She was in Setsuna's empty office and was very sure no one had followed her. She had to ask Setsuna what to do. They had figured out so much on their own, surely telling them what it was all about couldn't be wrong?
"Kakyuu?" Seiya's voice made Kakyuu freeze and turn in his direction with a look of terror.
"Um, hello Seiya." Kakyuu was rather pleased. Her training in manners during her past lifetime had carried over quite easy and she could still maintain that natural tone no matter what.
"What's going on Kakyuu?" Seiya asked.
"What do you mean?" Kakyuu inquired, innocent and seemingly natural interest were easy enough to feign.
"Come on, don't play dumb." Seiya seemed to be near frustration. "I mean, here we are figuring out we might have had some sort of past life. Where we were women and then when Taiki deducts that you know something you run away. Yaten did not even try to help us at all. I just…I just…" Seiya sat down in an empty chair and put his head into his hands. Kakyuu's small hand on his back made him stiffen slightly. "If you know something, tell me please? I have to know. I feel like…I'm almost…. not whole, you know?"
"I-I don't know if I should." Kakyuu's sad eyes went away from him. "But I will, if you ask me to."
"Then tell me, what's going on?" Seiya asked her. Kakyuu sat down in the empty chair behind him.
"You were right. It was a past life. See a long time ago, Earth was almost the same as it is now. But we did not live here. We lived on a planet called Kinmokusei." Kakyuu began slightly trembling in excitement. "It was wonderful until a dark shadow fell on us. A shadow by the name of Galaxia."
The person we were fighting!" Seiya exclaimed suddenly with enthusiasm.
"I ran to the planet Earth. Where I knew there were soldiers like us." Kakyuu frowned a bit.
Something jogged in Seiya's memory. A woman standing in front of him, in a strange outfit with wings on her back.
"A pretty soldier in a sailor-suit! I am Sailor Moon!"
He shook his head slightly. More soldiers like them? He did not even want to think about finding others. It seemed to him though that they were their own group. The others had been…different.
"I was the princess of Kinmokusei. I had three guardians. Kou Seiya, Kou Taiki, and Kou Yaten." Kakyuu watched as Seiya's face lit up. "But they had soldier names too. You were Sailor StarFighter."
"Sailor StarFighter, do you vow to protect the Princess Kakyuu above everything, including your own life?"
"And Yaten was Sailor StarHealer! Oh, Taiki is Sailor StarMaker." Seiya finished for her, caught up in the story. Then he paused and looked around a little sheepishly. "Um, wait, you never said anything about that did you?"
"You're remembering. I think it was brought on by me." Kakyuu bowed her head slightly in reverie.
"So what else about our lives?" Seiya's eyes were sparkling with excitement now. "Did we defeat Galaxia? I think we did, didn't we?"
"We didn't. Sailor Moon, the Princess of the Moon, did." Kakyuu told him. Seiya felt a pang of sadness at the mention of this Moon Princess. He did not know what it was.
"Really? I can't wait for you to tell us all about the last life! Were we really women?" Seiya asked as they stood up, the door opened to Setsuna who raised her eyebrows at the two.
"Good morning Setsuna!" Kakyuu's grin was practically bigger then her face.
"Indeed Kakyuu. Is there some reason you two are in my office?" Setsuna's garnet eyes seemed to be swirling.
"Um, well…" Seiya realized that Setsuna was very vaguely familiar. Had she been in the past life too? And if she was, who was she?
"Seiya remembers. All the Starlights do." Kakyuu told her trying to calm down a little.
"Starlights?" Seiya looked at Kakyuu curiously.
"That's what you are. The Sailor Starlights." Kakyuu explained to him.
"So that's why Yaten and Taiki are listening outside the office." Setsuna looked behind her slightly.
"What?" Seiya and Kakyuu questioned together before Yaten and Taiki came around the corner.
"Yeah, you were right." Yaten crossed his arms and looked rather pissed but since that was how he always looked they went with it.
"Seiya, that was wonderful deductive reasoning. I have this book you would be rather interested in…" Seiya stopped listening to Taiki as he turned to Kakyuu, their princess. Her red eyes were sparkling in happiness. He wondered if the others felt it. A piece of his soul had been returned to him.
Hotaru rolled her eyes after shutting the door behind Mamoru who had given her very strict instructions. If Usagi got there before he came back, Hotaru was to let her wait. As if Hotaru was going to make Usagi wait outside their apartment door. Also she was not to tell her where Mamoru was. Yeah like she would blurt out that he was getting her flowers as a surprise. Of course the night only seemed to get more tense and tense for Mamoru as it was. He had spent two hours in the bathroom, trying to get himself looking his nicest. He came out reeking of aftershave and Hotaru just pointed straight at the bathroom door and right back he had marched, for another hour.
Someone knocked on the door and Hotaru opened up to see Usagi, with her normal odangoes and wearing a nice pink dress. Hotaru wondered where Mamoru was taking Usagi that everyone had to look so nice. Hotaru was wearing a white blouse only after Mamoru said that he didn't want her in her pajamas when Usagi came. Hotaru was looking forward to the end of this date.
"Hello Usagi." Hotaru greeted her graciously and let her into the apartment.
"Hey Hotaru." Usagi looked around the apartment. She looked a little sheepish before asking. "Do I look alright?"
"You look fine." Hotaru was a little sick of being everyone's fashion consultant for the night. Mamoru must have tried on every nice shirt he owned! "Oh Mamoru will be here soon, he has to go to the store for a few minutes."
"Great." Usagi sat down nervously on the couch. "Your apartment is enormous! It's so much nicer then my house."
"You think so?" Hotaru looked around the large living room, with its very large television, several game systems, and other electronics.
"Oh yes! How was your day?" Usagi asked politely.
"Um, well…we had a bit of a run in with some of your friends." Hotaru admitted. Usagi looked rather confused at the statement as if she hadn't heard anything about it.
"When?" Usagi questioned.
"Yesterday. I don't think your friend Minako likes us that much." Hotaru confessed.
"Do you mean…did they…" Usagi trailed off and Hotaru saw that the blonde girl looked rather sad. "Minako was just trying to look out for me!" Usagi looked up at Hotaru's face, defensively. "She has a big heart and she doesn't want anything bad to happen to me. Plus I think that she wants me to go out with Seiya."
"Did you tell them that you didn't like Seiya?" Hotaru asked her.
"Yes, but I don't know, I think it has something to do with something that once happened to Minako. She never told the other girls but she told me." Usagi bit her lip in hesitation. "Believe me, once she sees that Mamoru is so…so…. Well she'll change her opinion. She couldn't keep a grudge to save her life.
"I'm glad then, cause they seem like nice people." Hotaru smiled as the door to their apartment opened. In stepped Mamoru with a dozen roses. He's always complaining when I get something expensive, but it's okay for him to.
"Hello Mamoru." Usagi rushed up to him. His face saw her and he went bright red, before handing her the roses.
"Um…I bought these…" Mamoru was close to stuttering.
"Their so nice!" Usagi inhaled deeply. "They smell so pretty."
"I think your much prettier then those roses." Mamoru smiled brilliantly and Usagi face went red. Hotaru coughed slightly. "Oh, we should be going, I made reservations."
"Okay! Thanks for keeping me company Hotaru!" Usagi waved to her dark haired friend and then took Mamoru's arm as they left.
"I won't be out too late." Mamoru told his best friend as the door shut. Hotaru just shook her head in wonder. Those two were meant for each other. She could just tell. All she wanted to do now was settle on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, in her pajamas, and watch TV.
"Honestly Pluto." Hotaru began as if talking to someone. She stopped dead in her tracks. What had she just said? Who was Pluto? That was a little weird but at the same time…what happened? Hotaru shut her eyes and tried to think straight. Somehow though she seemed to be able to see someone in shadow. A tall woman walking away from her. Her large staff never touching the ground.
Hotaru decided that she did not want to be anywhere near the apartment when those two had a date. The stress was definitely getting to her.
Usagi was shivering with some sort of anticipation. Mamoru had taken her to a very fancy restaurant and then they walked around the park at night. It was so romantic and Usagi could barely look at his face without going red. They were now driving towards Usagi's house. The roses in her hand reminded her of something. She strained to think of what it was but she couldn't think very well right now.
"There's my house." Usagi told him and Mamoru parked the car. He jumped out, quicker then a rabbit and opened her car door for her.
"So did you have a good time?" Mamoru's very hopeful eyes as they walked up the walk to her house made Usagi seemed to fall in love with him all over again.
"It was great." Usagi stopped in front of her door. There was an awkward moment of silence. They were just staring at each other now. Waiting for the other to make a move. Finally Mamoru broke the quiet.
"Do you think it would be alright if I…kissed you?" Mamoru's face looked as though he was sunburned. Usagi face reddened too. She bravely leaned forward and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt Mamoru's lips against hers. It was…unlike anything that had ever happened to Usagi. It was her first kiss too and it made glad that hers was so special. It seemed so right and familiar. They broke away from each other and Usagi was breathless.
"That was…" Usagi wondered if you were supposed to say anything to the person like that. "Thanks for a wonderful night."
"Thanks." Mamoru seemed to be in sort of a daze. "You too. Have a nice night."
"Good night." Usagi waved as he started back for his car. It had been great. He was a great kisser she decided. Her face went a little red before going inside the door.
"Hey Usagi!" Serenity's voice carried from the kitchen. Usagi came in with her roses, looking a little embarrassed. Serenity, her mother, was having tea with Helios, her father.
"Someone had a nice time." Helios teased
"Oh hush." Serenity playfully hit her husband's shoulder. "Why those flowers are lovely! It's quite a day for you to get flowers, eh?"
"Huh, what do you mean?" Usagi cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"Why right after you left, flowers were delivered to us for you. Their on the counter over there." Serenity pointed a pretty bouquet of white roses. Usagi thought that was rather odd. She was sure Mamoru wouldn't get her two bouquets but how was she to know? She went over to them and noticed there was a card stuck in between them. She unfolded with excitement.
Dear Usagi,
Always thinking of you.
Yours Truly,
Kou Seiya
Usagi felt turmoil rise up in her. Seiya did like her. What would she do? What could she say? She felt a little lost.
"Who's it from? Usagi I think you might be getting a little too popular with the boys." Helios joked. Usagi forced a laugh.
"Sorry Dad." Usagi giggled and then took both bouquets upstairs. She got a nice vase and put the red ones Mamoru had given her in it with water so they wouldn't die. She set the white ones next to the vase, unsure what to do with them.
That's it! There is no more, not for you guys. Yep, I'm moving! Unless of course fanfiction.net has some great change of heart and let's people put up NC-17 fics I'll be gone. I'll be putting up fics at fandomination.net. I'm excited! I'll get to MST again! I had the weirdest dream last night. Actually two weird ones. First one, I was hanging out with the Inuyasha gang in the forest. Then zombie Naraku chased us all through the woods. Now I knew that I was supposed to be like Kouga's girlfriend or something to that effect. Kagome through me something that Miroku had thrown her. It was one of lamps you see in those Japanese gardens but they told me to throw it at the zombie Naraku cause it had a spell in it. I threw it, but alas even in the dream my aim was for shit. Then I stumbled and fell on the ground. Thinking to myself that this was far too typical of an anime girl, I thought zombie Naraku was going to eat me. Then all of a sudden something ripped through him and the next thing I knew was I was in Kouga's arms. It was sweet. Then he was going to kiss me but the air conditioner in the apartment started rattling really loudly. I was so pissed off. Then the next one Yaten told me his name was pronounced Yeah-te-nou. Apparently I was his girlfriend and we were trying to stop Taiki from getting a nipple piercing. That makes sense.
Will Usagi be able to tell Seiya that he is no Mamoru? Will Seiya be happy when he finds out? Will Seiya remember that Usagi and Mamoru were together in the past life too? Will he be sad? Will Kakyuu tell whoever it was she was talking about, (Like we don't know.) about what she was talking about? Will Setsuna ever stop being mysterious? Will Hotaru remember soon? Will she stop saying weird things to herself? Will Yaten stop being an ass? Would Taiki be powerless if someone took away his books? Will Minako ever remember the name of that popular boy at camp? Who was he? Not to mention Motoki!
