Yue Moon: I am so sorry about the last chapter being such a disappointment to some of you! Which is why I've decided to make it up to you with this chapter. Hopefully it DOES make up for everything. I appreciate the very little reviews I got...Even though they were so little *sniffles* Can't wait for more. Hope you all enjoy this chappy.

Quick thing: Of course, by now, you all know this is an AU. Well, in this story, the world they're living in is "the real/anime world". Meaning they watch "anime" and all except it's not anime to them. It's real actors playing roles of certain mangas. In other words, if I wanted Minako to say "I'm dating Touya, off the set of Card Captor Sakura", then you all know what I mean. If anyone is confused by what was just said, let me know and I'll try to explain it in a different way.

BETRAYED
Chapter 12 (Part 2)
________________

The girls all turned to face Haruka, who was taking a sip of her water bottle.

"Maybe I will. By the way, where's Michiru? It's quite rare to see either of you without the other," grinned Minako.

"She's standing in line for her food. She insisted I come over and see what you're all up to instead of waiting with her."

"I don't see her any where up there," offered Rei, scanning the crowd of people waiting in front of a Sonic (fast-food restaurant).

The tomboy grinned. "She's wearing a wig."

"Oh I see her," informed Ami. "She's wearing a black curly wig and has her back turned to us."

"How can you tell when her back is turned towards us?" Haruka asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's the way she holds herself. Her posture," smiled the blue-haired girl.

"I thought I was the only one who could tell," mumbled the older girl, running a hand through her short, blonde hair.

"Oh yeah...I forgot she has to disguise herself too. Being a popular violinist and all," said Usagi, pouring some ketchup onto a napkin.

-20 Minutes Later-

"Hurry up Usagi. Do you have to look through every single rack? The skirt is obviously not here!" Complained Rei, impatiently tapping her foot.

"Oh alright. But I was sure I saw it here a week ago...I wanted to get it so bad," explained the girl with the odangoes.

"You can borrow mine," offered Minako, trying to cheer her friend up.

"Which one?"

"Err...whichever?"

"YAY! Great. Thanx Mina! I always wanted to where that jean skirt of yours that came to mid thigh. The darkish blue one with the brown belt! And while we're at it can I borrow your brown tank top that goes so well with it? Oh and the ankle boots you have. Not to mention that cool looking duster that matches the tank top! Can I?" Asked Usagi, getting excited.

"Uh...sure...but what for?!" Minako raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing...just to wear them... ^^; heh..."

"Can we get going now?!" Complained Rei. "It's really hot and stuffy in here. Plus I want to try some of that cake!"

"Ya I think we better get going," reasoned Ami. "It's already 3:29 and I have a date at 5:30," she added, blushing slightly.

"Oooooooooooooohhh really now?" Exclaimed Minako.

"Who's the lucky guy?" Questioned Makoto.

"Ya who is he Ami?" Asked Usagi, walking over to join the other girls in the little circle they had just formed.

"Someone..." she whispered, not meeting anyone's eyes.

"Oh come on. Out with it!" Ordered Rei.

"...oi...te," mumbled the blue-haired girl.

"What? Say it a little louder," smiled Minako, leaning in closer.

"...oicite..."

"Oh my god! ZOICITE?!?!?!" Exclaimed Makoto, taking a step back from obvious shock.

"Oh shut up Makoto! You're dating Nephrite!" Accused Minako.

"Oh come off it Minako! Everyone knows you're dating the gang's leader, Kunzite!" Yelled Rei, grinning like a maniac.

"You know you've been extra happy nowadays Rei," smirked Usagi. "I wonder if Jadeite has anything to do with it."

The raven-haired girl turned scarlet and mumbled something inaudible while looking down at her feet.

"I knew it!" Exclaimed Makoto, smiling knowingly.

"What about you Usagi," Ami whispered shyly. "You've spent the last three days with Seiya as if you'd been dating him your whole life."

"Well I feel like I have been dating him for quite sometime and I'm extremely comfortable with him. I feel all warm, safe and protected whenever he's around," Usagi sighed dreamily, absentmindedly twirling a strand of hair around her forefinger.

"But don't you think you're moving a little fast with him?" Minako suggested softly.

"I...I don't know. I feel like I love him but it's different than when I felt I loved Mamoru...Speaking of Mamoru! Did I tell you what I did to him before we went to the beach with Seiya?!" Asked Usagi, deliberately changing the subject.

"No, you didn't. Hopefully you caused him pain!" Sneered Makoto, clenching her fists.

"I wish I could have done more but I didn't want to waste my time with Seiya...Anywho! I asked Seiya if he could take me there cause I had to do something I'd been meaning to do for..............."

-19 Minutes Later-

"Good! But you know, you could have just given the vase to Seiya instead of smashing it. It WAS pretty expensive," reasoned Makoto, turning the car off. She unbuckled her seatbelt along with the other girls, and slipped out of the car.

"I know. But I didn't want Seiya to feel second-rated or anything," explained Usagi, shutting the passenger door and following the other girls up to Makoto's apartment door.

"I know what you mean," said Minako, sighing.

"Well let's just forget about everything and have a good time, alright guys?" Shrugged Rei, stepping into the beautifully furnished apartment.

"Wow! I didn't know you switched the place around," exclaimed Usagi, running over to the soft leather couch and flopping down onto it.

"Meeoooww," purred a soft silvery kitten, popping out from under the sofa and rubbing against Usagi's legs.

"Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Usagi cried out, picking up the kitten and rubbing it against her cheek. "What's her name?"

"It's a he. His name is Kamui!" Smiled Makoto, sitting next to her. The kitten pulled away from Usagi and jumped onto Makoto's lap, stretching a bit before settling down.

"Hey can we bring the cake out now?" Whined Minako, slowly making her way towards the kitchen, eyeing the fridge.

"Sure go ahead," Makoto said, petting the kitten as it continued to purr. "Rei, Ami. The presents are still in the back closet in the second room. Can you please go get them?"

"Sure," smiled Ami, making her way towards the hallway on the right, Rei close behind.

Suddenly remembering something, Makoto stood up abruptly, forgetting all about the kitten who had jumped off her lap in time and was now on Usagi's lap.

"Wait! Don't go in--"

Too late. Both Rei and Ami were standing in the open doorway, staring at a certain someone sitting at the edge of the bed. He was wearing a white T-shirt that showed off his well-toned torso, and a pair of black jeans.

"Friends of yours?" Asked Nephrite, running a hand through his hair.

"Err...ya," mumbled Makoto, some-what blushing. "This is Mizuno Ami and Hino Rei."

"Hello," both girls smiled, winking at Makoto.

"Hey. Well I really ought to get going. Maybe we'll meet again," he said, smiling politely at the other two.

"Maybe we will," said Rei, moving aside to let him pass.

"I had a really great time last night," he whispered to Makoto, softly kissing her on the cheek. Nodding towards the other two he turned and left.

"Uoooooooh Makoto...He had a 'really great time LAST NIGHT'," smirked Rei, raising an eyebrow.

"It's...It's not what you think!" Blushed Makoto, taking a deep breath. "I invited him over for dinner and that's all."

"Then what was he still doing here? Sitting on the bed?"

"It was just really late after dinner and he seemed tired so I offered him to spend the night. He said he'd take the couch but I told him I had a spare bedroom and so that's why he's still here. He slept here and I slept in my own room. It's that simple," she explained, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Now are you just going to stand there or are you going to get the gifts?"

"Who was that guy that just left?" Asked Usagi, once Makoto entered the room.

"Nephrite," sighed the brunette, praying she wouldn't have to explain everything again.

"Well Kamui here seemed to love him as much as he loves you," smiled the girl with the odangoes.

"Well maybe that's because Nephrite's the one who gave me the cute fur ball," she smiled, thinking two days back.

#Flashback#
"Err...Nephrite...What's in your jacket?" Asked Makoto, shutting the door.

"Just a little present for you," he smiled warmly, unzipping his leather jacket and pulling out a grayish silver-ish kitten.

"Oh my god it's so cute! It looks just like the one I was playing with at the pet store!" She exclaimed, petting the kitten.

"It is. I saw you fooling around with it yesterday, and so as soon as you left I got it for you," he smiled, hanging his jacket up on the coat rack.

"Aaawwww you didn't have to," she smiled, her eyes twinkling.

"I know," he grinned, moving in for a kiss. "I wanted to."
#End Flashback#

"Here it is! The beautiful cake, baked by our very own Kino Makoto!" announced Minako, coming into the front room, balancing a cake in one hand and some plates and silverware in the other.

"Oh it looks so pretty and yummy!" Exclaimed Usagi, licking her lips.

It was a round chocolate cake covered with vanilla frosting and decorated all around the edge with pink icing. "Happy B-day Usagi" was written in a thin, light blue icing, and a moon was placed in the background (A/N: Do I even have to say it was also made in icing?). 17 small, edible candles with fake flames stood in the pink icing, equally spaced around the cake.

"I know. It was extremely hard for me not to pluck out one of those candles and stuff them in my mouth," complained Rei, joining the others with Ami behind her, both carrying gifts.

-After The Cake-

"Onto the gifts!" Announced Rei, tossing Usagi one of the presents.

"Hey! Wait till I get in there!" Yelled Makoto, who had just taken the dishes to the kitchen. She raced back into the living room and sat on the floor next to Minako and Ami. Two years before they had decided that on each person's birthday, when it came to opening presents, they'd all sit on the floor in a circle, the gifts placed in the middle.

"That's from me," beamed Rei, watching as her friend ripped the wrapping off neatly.

"OMG! The last volume of Vampire Princess Miyu! This is so cool! Larva is such a great and kawaii actor! Thanx sooooo much Rei! I LOVE IT!" Exclaimed Usagi, hugging her raven-haired friend.

"Okay! Mine's next," said Ami, handing over the next gift.

"O_O it's...it's...X (1999)...I have been looking EVERYWHERE for this movie! Where'd you find it?!"

"Online," smiled the blue-haired girl.

"Thanx bunches Ami! I can't wait to watch it!" She said, hugging her friend.

"Well, here's the one from both me and Minako," grinned Makoto, sliding the last gift towards Usagi. It was bigger than the other two, and heavier as well.

After unwrapping it, Usagi squealed, clapping happily.

"I can't believe it! The whole box set of Fushigi Yuugi and all the Manga issues! This is so extremely cool!" She exclaimed, hugging both girls.

-Later On-

"Dear god it's already 5:01," exclaimed Ami, glancing at her watch. "I gotta get going. Minako, I hate to ask, but can you have your limo driver drop me off?"

"Sure! I had him follow us here so he's probably still waiting outside. I need to get going too. Usagi, do you need a ride?"

"Can you?" Asked Usagi, putting Kamui down and watching as he scuttled over to Makoto.

"Of course. How about you Rei?" Offered Minako, getting up.

"No that's alright. I'm just going to stay a little while longer and help Makoto with a few things. Thanks anyway," smiled the priestess.

"Okay well, thanks for everything Makoto. I'll call you later on. Ja," said Minako, picking up her purse and heading out.

Ami and Usagi also thanked the girls and said their good-byes before leaving as well.

-Pulling Up To Usagi's House, After Dropping Ami Off-

"Thanks Minako, for everything. I'll see you around!" Smiled Usagi, heading up to the front door. She rang the bell and waited till Shingo answered the door.

"Oh...it's you," he sighed, retreating back to the couch.

"Who else would it be?" Asked Usagi, shutting the door.

"I thought mom and dad were back. They went out to dinner...without me! Can you believe that?!?!" He exclaimed, furiously flipping through the channels.

"I don't blame them," she mumbled, turning to head up the stairs.

"By the way. That Seiya dude came over about half an hour ago," yawned Shingo, putting his feet up on the coffee table.

"What?! Really?! What did he want? Is he here?"

"Nope. I didn't let him in and I don't know what he wanted."

"YOU WHAT?!?! YOU DIDN'T LET HIM IN?!?! YOU BAKA!" Screamed Usagi, throwing a shoe at her brother's head before stomping up the stairs. She flung her bedroom door open and walked in, slamming it shut behind her.

"I'm flattered that you're very mad at the fact he didn't let me in," came a voice from somewhere in the dim room.

"S-Seiya?" Stuttered Usagi, gripping for the light switch. She found it and flicked it on, her eyes wandering to the bed where she found Seiya laying there, propped on one elbow, facing her.

"Hey gorgeous," he smiled.
