Usagi turned around feeling a presence in her room. She turned around smiling thinking it would most likely be one of her friends. When she saw who it was the smile fell off of her face. She clutched the towel to her body which was now pale from the shock. She was speechless, not completely taking in the situation.
Mamoru stood there dumbfounded, he knew he came here to find Usagi, but he had no idea it would be so easy.
"Wha… What are you doing here?!"
Usagi asked with a mixture of emotions mostly upset but she was surprised to find a glimmer of happiness amongst it.
Mamoru snapped out of his daze, "Huh…? wha…?"
"What are you doing here?" Shrieked Usagi.
"I… I was looking… for my… room," stuttered Mamoru.
"Well this is my room! What are you here for anyway? Why aren't you in Japan!"
"A few friends of mine wanted to come tour Scotland and dragged me along. I didn't know you were here!"
Usagi couldn't believe it, she had come here to have a good time. Getting away from Mamoru had been a bonus.
Usagi suddenly realized the state of dress she was in, or state of undress in this case.
Mamoru couldn't stop staring she looked as beautiful without her clothes as she did with them.
"Well I have to get ready for dinner, so um… you should go now." Usagi stated slightly uncomfortable in her position.
Mamoru nodded, "Yea," he agreed and walked out of the room.
Usagi paced around in her room what was she going to do? She was panicking. She couldn't have him here! She could just see the girls' reaction when they saw her so panicky! They would laugh their asses off!
Well she had to get ready. Going through her suitcase she pulled out a black mini-skirt that was barely half way down her thighs, and a white blouse. The neck dipped pretty low, showing a little cleavage. The sleeves were frilly at the ends. She put on a touch of lipstick and blush. Let down her hair and walked out of the room. She knocked on Mako's door, receiving a reply she stepped in.
"Mako! You wont believe who's here," Usagi said in a distressed tone.
Mako looked away from the mirror. Now concerned Usagi sounded extremely upset/worried about something.
"What? Who's here Usagi," questioned Makoto.
"Someone extremely terrible," whined Usagi.
"Who? They can't be worse than Mamoru-san could they?" Makoto said teasingly.
Usagi just stared at Makoto.
Makoto's eyes widened in realization.
"NO WAY!" Mako laughed, "Oh this is hilarious, of all people! Mamoru! Wow Usagi you have awful luck! Ohh who came with him? Did he bring his friends? How do you know he's here?" Mako bombarded Usagi with questions.
"Slow down Mako! You seem more excited rather than upset!"
Makoto blushed how was she to tell Usagi she hoped that Nephrite was with Mamoru- san?
"Well I was just wondering…"
Usagi smiled, "Mako, you have a secret! I can tell, what is it Mako? You can tell your favorite friend cant you?"
Usagi tried to sweet talk it out of Makoto.
"Well…uh…I…I kinda hoped Nephrite was with him." Makoto confessed turning red.
"Whoa!" Usagi exclaimed, "No way! That's pretty cool though don't worry about it."
Mako let out a sigh of relief.
"Anyway Usagi how do you know Mamoru's here?"
Usagi sweatdropped, "Well he kind of um… walked into my room. On accident."
Mako smiled, "Okay, is it time for dinner yet? Cause I'm starving."
Usagi glanced at the clock and nodded, "Yup lets go!"
They walked out of the room. The two reached the grand staircase to see the other three girls by the piano. Mako called out to them. They glanced up at Usagi and Makoto.
Usagi and Makoto descended the stairs towards their friends.
"Hey you two," greeted Minako.
Usagi and Mako nodded in response.
"Were you going to be late even here Odango?" spat Rei.
Mako ignored that as well as Usagi for a change.
"You guys wont believe who's here!" exclaimed Makoto,.
"Who?" Mina, Ami, and Rei asked in unison.
Mako quickly glanced at Usagi who sighed.
Mako's eyes twinkled mischievously as she turned back to the girls.
"Mamoru!"
The girls gazed at Mako with disbelief written all over their faces.
"No way," exclaimed Minako.
Usagi nodded, "Well anyway we gotta teat dinner, don't want to be late!"
Usagi and her friends walked into the dining room
Mr. Kating and a regal looking man were seated at the different ends of the table. On one side sat Troy, Mamoru, Nephrite, Zoicite, Jedite, and Motoki.
The other side was Reika sitting across from Motoki.
Minako sat across Troy, Mako across Nephrite, Ami across Zoicite, and Rei across Jedite. Leaving Usagi to sit across Mamoru. Troy smiled at Usagi as she sat down Usagi smiled back.
Mamoru caught the exchange between the two.
He didn't know what to feel.
Mr. Kating broke the formal silence in the room.
"Now that you are all here I'd like you to meet Mr. Kyle Penn. He is the chief administrator of my company in Australia."
"Hello," greeted Mr. Penn in an Australian accent.
"Hello," everyone echoed.
"Kyle, that is my niece Usagi," Richard nodded in Usagi's direction.
She smiled. A maid walked in.
"Mr. Kating would you like dinner to be served now?"
"Yes Katherine that would be greatly appreciated."
The maid smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
"I would like you all to meet these young men."
Usagi smiled, "Uncle Richard actually we all know each other."
Mr. Kating gazed at her quizzically
She explained, "See, Motoki is a friend of ours, through him we met Mamoru and the rest of his friends."
Mr. Kating shrugged, "Well that's a coincidence, anyway now that all the formalities are over, are you all excited about staying here?"
"Yea! We're psyched," exclaimed Mina on behalf of all the girls.
Mr. Kating smiled and turned to the men, "How about you?"
Mamoru tore his eyes away from Usagi, "Well I will say that things get better every minute I'm here."
Usagi glanced at Mamoru, 'Jeez he has that oh so fine look on his face! Him and that damn grin!'
Katherine walked in with a group of servants behind her, they all set the food down on the table.
"Thank you Katherine, that will be all for now, I will ring for dessert later."
Katherine smiled politely and left the room.
During dinner the conversations varied from person to person. From books and education, to cooking, to fighting and spiritual healing, to shopping, to business deals that caused the downfall of many large enterprises. Mamoru was amazed at Usagi's knowledge of everything they discussed. Except for cooking, she still hadn't gotten a hold on anything in the kitchen.
Usagi and Mamoru ended up talking about English literature.
Mamoru was once again impressed by her insight on the matters. He realized he never really have her a chance to prove to him that she had grown up. He just assumed that she was still the ditzy, klutzy 14 year old with too much energy.
Usagi was surprised by the enthusiasm Mamoru displayed in talking about literature. She knew he was the intellectual type, but she hadn't known he was capable of expressing emotions.
Their conversation was disturbed by the servants bringing in dessert.
Despite the fact that Usagi had grown up, noticed Mamoru, she still hadn't lost her appetite for sweets.
After dessert Mr. Kating decided to retire for the evening.
"You kids have fun, I have to get some sleep if I intend on making my flight tomorrow morning."
Usagi looked at him, "When's your flight Uncle Richard?"
He laughed, "Honey its at 5 am I doubt you will be awake that early so its farewell for now."
Him and Mr. Penn walked out of the dining room.
Troy looked over at Usagi, "You aren't tired are you?"
"No, of course not. What do you have in mind?"
"Well I was thinking all of us could go to the den to entertain ourselves."
Usagi looked over at everyone else, "Well are you up for it?"
"Sure," came the reply.
"Umm… actually I will retire for the evening. That's okay right," questioned a hopeful Reika.
"Sure if you please."
Reika walked out of the room, they all also got up to leave.
They entered into the den. There was a pool table next to a mini kitchen. There were two walls lined with oak bookshelves, a leather couch and a TV. An all around entertainment system complete with DVD and the various video game systems.
Ami and Zicite drifted over to the oak bookshelves.
Usagi and Makoto decided to give pool a try.
"Troy," Usagi called, "Do you want to help me play?"
He excused himself from his conversation with the men and came over to help her.
"Hey! That's not fair," exclaimed Makoto.
Nephrite walked over, "Mind if I help you Makoto?"
Makoto blushed, "Sure, not a problem."
Troy stood behind Usagi and leaned over to place his arms around her, and his hands over hers.
"Okay you take the stick, and now break like this." He whispered into her ear.
He helped her like that for a while.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mamoru, I think I see steam coming out of your ears," teased Motoki.
Mamoru glared at his friend, "That's SO not funny! I mean what does he think of himself. He's all over my Usako!"
Mamoru turned back to the two at the pool table.
"If looks could kill…" mumbled Motoki.
"Mamoru lets join Mina and Rei on the couch."
Mamoru reluctantly agreed.
"Her Mamoru," greeted Rei.
"Hello." Replied Mamoru slightly distracted.
Rei scooted closer to Mamoru, "So what brings you here? I mean it's the most pleasant experience."
Mamoru looked over at Motoki and rolled his eyes.
"Mamoru can you go get me a drink?" Motoki intervened.
"Sure," Mamoru agreed thankful for the escape.
"I'll help you," suggested Rei.
"NO! Rei I have to talk to you about…" Motoki looked at Mamoru for some help, "About some meditation techniques," finished Motoki lamely.
"Uh… sure" Rei replied slightly confused.
Minako watched the scene play out. It took all she had to keep from laughing.
"Mamoru, I need a drink too."
Minako got up to go with him, he nodded and they made their way over to the mini kitchen.
"Does Rei really bug you that much?" questioned Minako.
Mamoru looked shocked by the question.
"No… it's not that! It's just that I don't like girls hanging all over me like that!"
Minako laughed, "I thought you'd be used to it by now," she said pulling out a couple of cups out from the cabinet.
"Yea, well that gets old fast. Plus at times Rei's attitude gets on my nerves."
"Really?" Minako was curious now.
"Mamoru took a sip of his drink, "Yea, I mean she's always trying to boss everyone around. Sometimes she just has to lay off! But then again that's just my opinion."
Minako nodded, "No I understand. I don't like talking about people like this but you are right. But then again Mamoru you shouldn't be talking! You're always picking on Usagi too!"
Hey! That's different!"
"Really? How so?"
"Nothing, nevermind, forget I said anything."
"No way! I'm not going to let you get away this easy!"
"It's different because… it just is!"
"Explain Mamoru!"
"Mamoru, where's my drink? It's been ten minutes." Interrupted Motoki.
"Be right there."
Mamoru looked at Minako, "Don't say a word! I'll talk to you later!"
Minako face lit up, she was finally going to find something good out for once! She smiled and went to watch Usagi and Mako play pool.
