Hammer To The Heart
By: Anime Redneck
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was another normal day on Colony L1 in Tsukino Usagi's life... get up late, yell at her mother for not waking her up on time, forget her lunch on her mad dash out to school; run back get it and run off to school again on turbo boost. The only difference in this morning run was that half way there, rounding a corner she ran full force into something or someone, let's take a look.
~ * ~ * ~
"Luna!" Usagi yelled at her running partner, her cat. "Why didn't you wake me up on time!? I'm SOOO late now and Mrs. H is gonna kill me!" whined Usagi as she ran.
"Well Usagi if you didn't sleep so soundly and wouldn't *bat* me across the room when I tried waking you, you'd have heard me the first three times!" Luna yell back, Usagi sweat dropped.
"Oh, gomen ne Luna but-" she was cut off by slamming full force into something or someone... sending them both to the ground. "Oh gomen nasai!" Serena started to apologize picking up her books and the ones the other person dropped. "I was late and I didn't see you ther-" she stopped her apologizing and stared at the man who the knocked to the ground on her turbo run to school. Her heart started to speed up, face started to go a little red and she was suddenly at a lost for words. 'Oh my' was all she could think of.

Boom Boom Boom
Like a hammer to the heart
Just one look at you baby I was blown apart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was tall, dark, mysterious and handsome. 'What a hunk!' Usagi thought, 'Just like in all the romance books!' He had dark unruly brown hair that was a little spiky. Prussian blue eyes that stared at her unemotionally, he was wearing a green tank top tucked into a pair of blue jeans, wearing a blue jean jacket and sneakers.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run into you or knock you over, sorry!" Usagi told him bowing once then putting her books back in her bag and handing him his. "I'm Usagi, Tsukino, Usagi." She bowed again. "I'm really sorry for running into you! Gomen nasai! I was just in a rush and I'm late... OHHHH Mrs. H is gonna KILL ME! Sorry! Ja ne!" she yelled running off with Luna on her tail.
"Hn." Heero grunted watching her run off down the sidewalk. 'Strange girl.' He thought before making his way to school.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
She made it to school just before the bell rang which was her first surprise the second one was noticing that she made it there without tripping or slamming into anyone else the whole way, surprising because she was thinking of the handsome man the ran into a few minutes ago. 'He was cute but why did my heart speed up and my face become red?' she wondered as she walked into the class after saying 'Good morning Mrs. H' she took her seat and Mrs. H promptly took leave from consciousness and half the class stared in shock that Tsukino Usagi was in school and on time the first time this year, and it was already mid year!
But Usagi took no notice of any of it; she just sat down in a sort of daze, still thinking about whom she ran into. She knew she hadn't seen him before. 'Defiantly not! I'd remember a face like that!' she smiled 'what a cute face it was! He looked like he'd had a hard life though', his eye showed nothing... 'He's probably a few years older then me anyhow...' she frowned, 'but boy is he cute!' she thought smiling again...
About twenty minutes after she sat down Mrs. H woke up with the help of a few students, once up she walked over to Usagi and pinched her, knocking Usagi outta her thinking. "OUCH!" Usagi yelped out. "What'd you do that for Mrs. H!?" she questioned her teacher.
"I'm... gomen nasai Usagi... I just had to make sure I wasn't seeing things." Mrs. H replied. "I... I can't believe your here and on time Usagi... this is defiantly something to celebrate!" she exclaimed and walked up to the front of the class. "Class, let me have your attention please." she waited 'til the class was paying attention to her. "In honor of Mrs. Tsukino's on time attendance today, I'm going to let ya'll out an hour early!" she beamed. 'And I've also got a date to get ready for tonight!' Mrs. H thought happily. The kids in the class all started cheering and thanking Usagi for being on time, each hopping that every time she was on time that they could get out early.
And so the day went as usual, 'cept for the fact that Usagi paid attention in class, probably due to wanting to get out early also. Maybe if she paid attention it'd make the day go faster. At Lunch she met up with her friends Kino, Matako. Minzino, Ami and Aino, Minako.
Minako was her look alike twin, except that she wore her hair down with a red bow in it and her eye's were a shade lighter then Usagi's. Minako could also be as much a space case as Usagi but was more prone to doing her schoolwork, unlike Usagi.
Matako was the tallest out of them all and good at two things, 1. Cooking! Which Usagi couldn't get enough of! And 2. The Martial Arts, Matako was one person you didn't want to get ticked off, 'cause you'd be on the ground before you knew what had happened.
Ami was the quiet one and the brainaic of the group and the genius of the school, she was also very good at swimming.
There was another person to their little group that didn't go to her school and her name was Hino Rei. She and Usagi always got into tongue fights over the little things and didn't seem like they were good friends at all, but on the contrary. They were best friends and as close as sisters, for that's what the considered themselves when they weren't fighting over something like Usagi reading Rei's comics.
"So Usagi is it true?" Asked Mina. "Wha-huh? Is what true?" was Usagi's confused reply.
"That you came to school early and 'cause of that your class is getting out an hour early! That's what!" Exclaimed Matako, who was in her class, as well as Ami.
"OH! Yeah that's true! Don't know how I did it though." Usagi said shaking her head.
"What do you mean 'don't know how I did it'?" Ami asked confused and noticed that the other two had the same look.
"Well..." Usagi began "On my run to school I ran into this guy rounding a corner and knocked both of us over." that caused everyone listening to moan either in sympathy for the guy or for Usagi's clumsiness.
"Oh Usagi!" they all yelled. "What? He was cute though!" Usagi told em.
"Okay spill!" Mina and Makoto asked in unison, Ami just shook her head and smiled at her guy crazy friends.
"Y'all should put that much enthusiasm into your school work." she told them.
"Oh Ami!" Usagi told them about everything that happened that morning and about the guy, then the bell rang and they said they'd meet her at the Cherry Hill temple for their Scout meeting. 'Drat I forgot about that... guess I can't stop at the arcade after school...' she thought sadly before remembering that they got out an hour early. She jumped up thrusting her fist in the air yelling "YEESSSSS!!!!" before quickly heading to class with people staring at her, wondering what her problem was. ^_^
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
End of the day came and Usagi headed to the arcade and played the new Sailor V game that Andrew told her they got.
"Hey Motoki-oniisan!" Usagi called on her way over to the counter...
"Hiya Usagi, what's up?"
"Oh nothing much, what about with you?" she asked.
"Nada, just business as usual. Hey why are you outta school early?" He asked looking at her quizzically.
"Oh well I got to school today on time..." she started laughing, "walked in class told Mrs. H good morning and she f-fainted!" she stopped laughing.
Motoki started laughing too, "So why are you out early?" he asked between laughs.
"Oh well Mrs. H said that 'In honor of Mrs. Tsukino's on time attendance, class will be let out an hour early today!'" Usagi said impersonating Mrs. H. Andrew laughed harder at her impression.
"That's great Usagi! So you go up early then?" he asked a whirly.
"Nope." He looked at her. "Actually got up late and was on my 'morning jog' as Rei calls it. And I was rounding a corner and slammed into this guy! Making us both fall on the ground, I picked up his books told him I was really sorry and ran the rest of the way to school and managed to beat the bell by maybe a minute." Usagi finished all in one breath smiling. Motoki was staring at her in awe.
'How can she talk that long without breathing?' he wondered. "So you ran into a guy huh?"
"Yup! Sure did, he had dark unruly brown hair that was a little spiky. Prussian blue eyes, he was wearing a green tank top tucked into a pair of blue jeans, wearing a blue jean jacket and sneakers." she informed him. "His eyes though..." Usagi looked deep in thought, "They were... empty like... but deep inside I could tell... could see, the loneliness, hurt, the coldness..." she shook her head, trying to clear it.
Motoki sighed shaking his head slightly, staring at her. He'd never heard her like this before, she wasn't the bubbly happy go lucky girl he knew so well... now... she was acting like a young woman, and thinking like one to he noted. He smiled sadly at her knowing whom she ran into. "Usagi-chan."
She looked up. "Hmm Oniisan?" she looked at him quizzically.
"I know who you ran into." She raised her eyebrow looking at him, silently telling him to tell her. "His name is Heero Yuy. He doesn't come in here a lot, but I watch him pass by every now and then. Almost like... he wants to come in, but something holds him back."
Usagi just stared at him. 'Hmmm, maybe I can remedy that problem.' She mentally smiled but on the outside she was frowning slightly. "Oniisan... do you know anything about him?" she asked uncertainly.
Motoki looked in thought a moment before looking back at her. "Well he's the quiet type... had a hard life? Hai, he has, I don't know what for sure, but, you can tell by looking at him he has. His family is dead. Killed... no one knows when..."
"Ohhh..." Usagi said looking in thought. "Domo arigatou Motoki -oniisan... see ya!"
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Usagi ran all the way to Rei's not running into anyone, jumping over obstacles. Basically flying through the streets, she wanted to get there, get the meeting over with and head out to find Heero. One way or another she was going to get him to have some fun. 'He acted like he wanted to go into the Arcade, so he'll go into the arcade.' She thought smiling as she ran.
Across the street someone was watching Usagi as she ran down the sidewalks, jumping, sidestepping and ducking things. 'Too much energy, that one.' The figure thought watching as she almost fell from ducking under two people moving a small wooden pillar. She ducked a little low and was about to fall when she steadied herself with her left hand on the concrete breathing a moment before taking off again. He smirked, 'she's a quick one.'
