Chapter 8
"OH MY GOD! Mom! Dad! Usagi and that big pop star Seiya Kou are DOING IT!" Yelled Usagi's younger brother, Shingo, running outside, where his parents were unloading the taxi.
At the sound of his voice, both Usagi and Seiya's eyes snapped open.
"Oh god they're back!" Panicked Usagi, jumping off the love seat and grabbing the white shirt off the sofa. She threw it to Seiya, who slipped it on and quickly buttoned it up. She then dashed into the kitchen and pulled an apron on, turning the water on and pretending to be washing dishes. Seiya ran in after her and sat at the table.
"They're on the love se-- Hey! They were right there I swear it!" Said Shingo, pointing to the love seat in the corner.
Usagi walked in, and wiped her hands on the apron.
"Hey! You guys are back! How was your trip?" She smiled, hugging her mom. She stuck her tongue out at Shingo, who was standing behind them.
Seiya walked out of the kitchen and stood behind Usagi.
"Oh my god! You're...you're Seiya Kou!" Exclaimed Ikuko, pushing past Usagi, shaking Seiya's hand. "I absolutely adore all of your songs! Can I get your autograph?" She asked, pulling one of his Solo-Albums out of her purse. She handed it to him along with a pen.
"Make it out to Ikuko. Arigato!" She smiled, watching him scribble out her name.
"Here you go," he smiled, handing them back to her. She stared at the autograph, stars forming in her eyes.
"I'll be the envy of the Cooking Group tomorrow. I can't believe this! Seiya Kou in my own house!" She chanted, drifting off into somewhat of a daze.
"Uh...mom? Are you okay?" Asked Usagi, taking a hold of her mothers shoulders.
"IT'S MINE!" Snapped Ikuko, holding the Album close to her to keep it safe.
Usagi: O_@
Seiya: O_o *afraid for his life*
Shingo: -_- *rolls his eyes*
"Er...I wasn't going to take it from you mother. You can just...chill," Said Usagi, eyeing her mother the way she'd eye an insanely-obsessed-with-Seiya's-songs person.
~Chehh...like I need his album or autograph. There are better things...Like him ^.^~ she thought, surprising herself by it.
Ikuko laughed sheepishly.
"Well anyways! Usagi," she ordered, her voice suddenly taking on a serious-tone to it. "May I speak with you in your room. Now," she said, heading towards the stairs.
Usagi nodded and began to follow her mother, only to be stopped gently by a concerned Seiya.
"You're not going to get in trouble are you?" He whispered, his eyes flickering towards Shingo to make sure he wasn't listening. He was, but there was nothing Seiya could do about it so he chose to ignore it.
"I don't think so. I'll just explain everything and hopefully she'll understand," whispered Usagi, dreading the fact that she'll have to recollect the horrifying memories of what had happened in the past three days.
Detecting a hint of sadness in her voice, Seiya asked if she wanted him to come with her.
"Could you?" She whispered softly, taking a hold of his hand.
"We're hooooooooome," greeted Usagi's dad, Kenji, as he stumbled through the front door, dragging some suitcases along with him.
"Hey dad," smiled Usagi, turning to Kenji, still holding Seiya's hand.
"USAGI!!! NOOOOOOW!!!" Yelled Ikuko impatiently.
"You better go see what your mother wants, Usagi," said Kenji, his eye flickering down towards their hands. He frowned but shook his head, deciding to save the questions for later.
Usagi turned back to Seiya, giving him a questioning look. He still hadn't answered her.
"Sure," he whispered, smiling reassuringly.
Shingo rolled his eyes and watched as they both climbed up the stairs, still, hand in hand.
"Are you just gonna stand there all day? Come here and give me a hand boy!" Chuckled Kenji, handing the young boy a suitcase.
-Upstairs-
Usagi opened the door to her bedroom and stepped in, Seiya being right behind her.
"Hey mom...you needed to talk to me?" She asked, nervousness apparent in her voice. Seiya gave her hand a gentle and reassuring squeeze, causing her to relax a bit.
Her mother looked up from the magazine she was reading, and was surprised to see Seiya standing behind her daughter. She debated on whether or not to ask him to leave, but decided against it. ~I might need to ask him a couple of things,~ she thought.
"Here, sit down," she said, patting a small area of the bed to her right. Usagi walked over and sat down, fumbling with the gold ring on her middle finger.
~It seems prettier, knowing that Seiya's the one that got it for me,~ she smiled absentmindedly.
Ikuko noticed her daughter smiling at the ring, and so decided to start the questions.
"Isn't that the ring Mamoru got you?" She asked knowingly.
At the mention of his name, Usagi's smile was wiped off her face, replacing it with a non-emotional look. Seiya, who had been leaning up against the wall across from the bed, sighed and made his way towards Usagi. He sat down and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into a comforting hug.
Ikuko was very confused at that moment.
"Was it something I said?" She asked, looking from Seiya, to Usagi, and back to Seiya.
"Tell her," whispered Usagi, still playing with the ring.
"Are you sure?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Usagi nodded and closed her eyes, willing herself not to cry. But by the end of the explaining, gasping and cursing, it was all too much for her and she burst into tears.
Knowing that she'd probably want some alone time with her mother, Seiya kissed Usagi on the forehead and hugged her tighter, gently pulling away from her and getting up. He stepped out of the room and sighed, shutting the door. He ran his fingers through his hair and made his way downstairs, only to be intercepted by Usagi's father.
"What happened up there?" He asked, somewhat concerned.
"Alot. But please sir, I would ask you not to mention anything about Mamoru when Usagi is around. Your wife knows everything, so if you want, have her tell you all about it. Usagi has been through alot and I just don't want her to suffer anymore," said Seiya, shaking his head. He took a look at his watch and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Wow it's already ten!" He exclaimed, running his fingers through his hair again. "I'm sorry sir but I have to get home. My manager said I've put off my scheduled meetings long enough, and the publishers are getting pissed off because I still need to work on one more song before they can finalize my new album. I'm supposed to attend a meeting at 7 in the morning, but it takes me about half an hour to fourty five minutes to get there. Which means I'll have to leave at around 6 o'clock," he explained, not knowing why he just said all that.
"I guess you're pretty busy," said Kenji, nodding slightly. "So I suppose I'll be seeing you some other time, eh?"
"Ya about that. I was wondering if I could come by tomorrow and pick Usagi up? Take her driving or something, to get her mind off of things. Oh I'm sorry, I completely forgot. You guys probably want to catch up on things, so I guess I'll put the driving off for some other time," Seiya said, cursing himself mentally at the lack of attention and patience he just showed.
"Well it's all up to her," sighed Kenji, obviously tired from the trip back home. "Why don't you call her tomorrow and find out?"
"No that's alright. I'm pretty sure you all want to talk to her about certain things and all. Tell her little stories and details about your vacation."
The older man chuckled. "Hey, like I said, it's all up to her. Plus we have all morning tomorrow to talk about those things, so just give her a call. I think she'd appreciate it."
"Thank you sir. You have a good night," Seiya said politely, walking over to the front door and slipping his shoes on. He opened the door and stepped outside, shutting it behind him.
"I like him," said Kenji, turning to his son who was sitting on the couch, his arms crossed. "He seems very unselfish and polite. Unlike that other boy Usagi was dating. What was his name again?"
"Mamoru. His name was Mamoru," sighed Shingo, grabbing a hold of the remote and switching the TV on.
"Oh yeah...him. I never did like him. Now this Seiya guy seems worthy of Usagi."
"Dad you're just saying that cause he's rich and you want his money," laughed Shingo, flipping through the channels.
"My daughters well being and future happiness is more important than fame and riches. Besides, I think he was putting those meetings off just to be with her."
Usagi came downstairs and looked around. "Where's Seiya?" She asked, walking over to the kitchen to see if he was there.
"He had to go honey. He said he had a meeting tomorrow morning at 7," explained Kenji, pretending not to notice the fact that Usagi's eyes were red.
~I'll ask Ikuko. No use in upsetting Usagi even more.~
"But...but I didn't get to say goodnight," complained Usagi, walking to the front door. She flung it open in hopes of seeing the convertable still in the driveway, or at least backing out of it. Realising that it wasn't there, she sighed and shut the door.
"Are you going to go to bed now?" Asked her father, picking up one of the suitcases and moving it over towards the wall to get it out of the way.
Usagi shook her head. "I need to finish up the dishes," she yawned, making her way towards the kitchen.
"Don't worry about them. I'll have Shingo do them."
"WHAT?! Why! This isn't fair. She and her super star boyfriend are the ones who ate out of them!!! I don't see why I have to WASH THEM!" Exclaimed Shingo, jumping off the couch and throwing his arms up in what looked like the beginning of a hissy-fit.
Kenji threw a 'don't you dare question me' look at his son, before turning back to Usagi, smiling.
"You need some rest Usagi. Now go get changed and go to bed," he ordered (in a nice way).
"Arigato. Love ya dad. Good night. 'Night Shingo," said Usagi, making her way up the stairs. She passed by her parents room and said good night to her mother, before entering her own room and shutting the door.
Walking over to her dresser, she pulled open the last drawer and took her pajamas out. She changed into them and flopped down onto her bed, sighing.
~I'll brush my teeth in the morning,~ she thought, slipping under the thin blanket-like-sheet. She closed her eyes, and tried to sleep, but the words Shingo had yelled out still rang in her ear.
...She and her super star boyfriend...
...She and her super star boyfriend...
...She and her super star boyfriend...
...She and her super star boyfriend...
...She and her super star boyfriend...
Usagi smiled and blushed slightly, snuggling up to her pillow, trying as best she could to imagine and pretend that Seiya was there with her, keeping her warm and safe. She fell asleep...
