A Japanese phrase that you may not be familar with:

Iki yo- Let's go. (yo intensifies it)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Usagi sat on the sofa thoughtfully stirring a straw in her soda, ignoring the chatter of the people around her. Mamoru and his team had won their second game with ease and in his excitement he asked Usagi to come with him to the victory party that the guys were throwing in their hotel suite. At the moment Mamoru was chatting with his friends, usually she would be furious at being ignored by a man who was supposed to be her date but Usagi's mind was not on him or the party around her; it was on her friends.

Plain and simple Usagi felt bad. Her friends had played a tremendous part in her plan to teach Mamoru a lesson, and while she ended up with Mamoru her friends received nothing. Usagi was deep in thought when someone plopped down next to her, startling the blond out of her thoughts.

The blond hair beauty lifted her startled gaze and locked onto dark blue eyes and then she began to search the rest of the person's face. This man had hair so blond that it appeared white and had well chiseled features. She had not met him before yet he looked strangely familiar.

The stranger saw the blond starring at him and he gave her a charming smile. "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you before. I'm Kunzite." The stranger said introducing himself while he took in the lovely blond.

Usagi snapped her fingers. "That's why you look so familiar!" Usagi exclaimed. Kunzite smiled. 'I've seen so many pictures of him from Minako that-' Usagi's thoughts cut off when the answer to the question she had been pondering over came to her. 'I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!'

"May I ask who you are?"

"Oh!" Usagi exclaimed, realizing that she had yet to introduce herself. "I'm Usagi." The pretty blond said extending her hand to Kunzite. Kunzite lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed it causing Usagi to blush. 'He has got to be a friend of Mamoru's.' Usagi thought.

"Hey Kunz I see you've met my *girlfriend*." A mellow voice said from behind Usagi. Usagi turned to Mamoru who was perched on the arm of the sofa and had casually laid an arm around Usagi's shoulders.

"Yeah." Kunzite murmured. "If you'll excuse me I have something I need to do." Kunzite said standing up and leaving, feeling slightly dejected that the blond was already taken.

Usagi turned back to Mamoru. "Do you remember that day at the arcade when you said that if their was anything that you could do to make it up to me to let you know?" Usagi asked.

"Yes…" Mamoru trailed off.

"Well I've thought of a way that you can make it up to me." Usagi stated with a smile.

Mamoru looked at the blond carefully before asking, "And what would that be?"

Usagi explained her plan carefully to Mamoru, telling him which team mates would be involved and what she needed him to do.

Mamoru ran a hand through his raven locks. "So basically you want me to help you play matchmaker?" Mamoru questioned dubiously.

"Yeah, so will you?"

Mamoru looked around the room, where only the Japanese soccer team and Usagi remained. "Sure let's liven up this party!"

~1 ½ later~

Usagi looked up from her seat on the armchair when she heard the hinges of the mahogany doors creak open and four girls entered the lobby hesitantly. "Are you sure this is the right place Ami?" Usagi heard Makoto ask as she looked around in awe.

"Affirmative. This is the address that Usagi gave me" Ami said confidently.

"Knowing Usagi that baka probably mixed up the address some how! You know what a ditz she can be!" Rei exclaimed.

"NANI?!" a voice demanded angrily from behind Rei. The girls turned simultaneously to face a flustered Usagi. "You think I'm incapable of doing anything right, is that what you're saying?!"

"We'll if you want to go into that-"

"Guys, stop it already!" Minako exclaimed. "The longer you two fight the longer we have to wait to find out what Usagi's big surprise is!"

"Oh. I forgot about that." Usagi said. "Iki yo!" the petite blond exclaimed as she hurried into the elevator.

"Wait a second! Aren't you going to tell us why we're here?" Makoto asked, hurrying to catch up with the blond with Rei, Ami, and Minako close behind her.

"Nope! You'll just have to wait and see." Usagi said mysteriously. There was unison of groans. The four girls pestered Usagi to give them a clue about the surprise as the elevator slowly traveled up to the ninth floor but she refused to say anything further.

At last the elevator doors slid open on the ninth floor and the five girls piled out; following Usagi they stopped at the last door on the left. "This is it, behind this door lays your surprise." Usagi said calmly as she watched her friends' faces fill with eagerness. Usagi slowly opened the door, purposely building their anticipation, and beckoned her friends inside.

Three girls looked around dubiously while one held back her excitement.

"The big surprise is taking us to a party, well what was a party anyway," Rei said gesturing to the few people left, "when it is almost over!" Rei yelled, catching the attention of the people who remained. "Odango this has got to be one of your stupidest ideas of a surprise!" The raven haired beauty continued to rant about Usagi's stupidity of what a surprise was.

Minako held up her hand to silence Rei. "You don't get it do you?" she questioned softly, still in awe. "We are in the presence of the some of the most talented and hunkiest guys known to Japan, the Japanese World Cup soccer team!" Minako exclaimed hugging Usagi tightly. "Thank you." Minako said squeezing Usagi even tighter.

"Air. Minako...I...need...air." Usagi gasped.

"Oops, gomen." Minako said, loosing her grip and backing away. The two blonds turned to look at their friends reactions and saw that the jaws of the three other girls had dropped.

Amy, being the first one to recover, spoke up, "Why did you bring us here?"

"To make it up to you guys for helping me with my plan for Mamoru, of course."

"We should help you more often then!" Minako squealed.

"I guess I should apologize then-" Rei began.

Usagi held up her hand. "It's alright Rei." Her friends stayed there in silence not moving a muscle. "We'll why are you guys still standing her? Go get your guys!" Without hesitation Minako rushed over to the other side of the room, with the other girls trailing her. Soon the girls were dancing and laughing there guys, when an awful thought struck her. The blond headed out to the balcony and leaned against the cool surface of the rail.

'What will happen to Mamoru and I after the World Cup is over? He will probably have to leave and go somewhere far away to train for the next World Cup and forget all about me,' the blond thought as a tear rolled down her pale cheeks. She had not known him that long but she knew she would be deeply sad when he left.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around her slim figure and pulled her towards him. "Hey gorgeous. Why did you leave so suddenly?" a husky voice whispered into her ear.

"Mamoru..." the blond began, a note of sadness in her voice.

Detecting the note of sadness the ebony man turned her around to face him. "What's wrong?" he asked brushing away a tear that rolled down her cheek with his hand.

"What will happen to us after the World Cup is over?"

"What do you mean?" Darien asked dumbfoundly.

"When you have to leave to go far away and train." Usagi said, gazing into his eyes. Darien began to laugh softly at first and then it intensified to a roar breaking the night's silence. 'Was all this a joke to get back at me for what I did to him at the arcade?' Usagi wondered sadly, her eyes brimming with tears that threaten to spill. Usagi turned away from him, refusing to let him see that she was about to cry. A few tears fell down her face. "Was all of this a joke to get back at me?" the blond asked softly.

Mamoru stopped laughing. "What?" he asked pulling her to face him. "How could you think that?" he asked, whipping away her tears.

"You were laughing-"

"Yeah," he said interrupting her, "because you obviously know nothing about how national soccer teams training system works."

Usagi gave him a puzzled look. "How is that so funny?"

"Your into the players of the World Soccer team yet you know nothing about what us players during the space in between the Cups. I belong to the Japan World Cup soccer team meaning I also train in Japan. In order to prepare myself for the next Cup I am on the Tokyo Japan team, which I guess you didn't know, so I'll remain right here in Tokyo, only an hour's drive away from you." Darien explained.

Usagi whipped the tears away from her eyes with the back of her hand. "So you're staying?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course." he said, bringing her into his embrace. He kissed her lips gently and the two headed back to the party inside.

*THE END*
