Chapter Five: Color it Red

After about five hours of shopping the senshi went to Usagi's house to discuss what happened at the mall that afternoon. Usagi for her part spend a good two hours explaining to her friends what happen between her & Mamoru. "And so me & Mamoru are no longer together." she concluded.

"Wait! Hold up!" Mako raised both her hands "You mean to tell me that Mamoru told you that, you & him are over. Just like that?" she snaps her fingers for emphasis. "Yes, and I am glad it went that way." Usagi answered. "Why?" Rei asked, Usagi blushed & mumbled quietly so she is the only one to hear it, "Because I love Seiya." "What was that?" Minako prompted Usagi's blush became redder. "Because I found myself falling for somebody." "Who?" they asked in unison, even Kakyuu was interested. "Guys! Please I'll tell you if I am ready, ok! For now get off of my back." Usagi cried out clearly piss by her friends' attitude.

"Ok." they replied dejectedly. But each of them had different thoughts in their minds. Minako's mind goes like this 'Good, that means I could play matchmaker. Who is better in this art than the Goddess of Love herself!' she squealed as thoughts of playing matchmaker for her friend runs a m/sec. Makoto's goes like this 'Now I could ask her to go man hunting with me.' she grinned at Usagi. Rei's thoughts were 'Well that's good to hear. That means I still have a chance with Mamoru' she looks up with dreamy eyes. 'Oh, Mamoru I love you!' then she squealed. Ami's thoughts were different 'Good, now she could study her lessons without Mamoru occupying her thoughts' Ami looks at her sternly. Kakyuu's thoughts are 'That means my little brother (1) has a chance. Yosh! For my little brother's sake I'll make you fall in love with him, Usagi Tsukino!' Kakyuu's eyes blaze with determination.

"A... Ano minna." Usagi called out to her friends fearing for her life in the hands of the five who sat in front of her. "Akeraminai (2)!" they all shouted aloud & Usagi yelp running for cover.

Kakyuu was walking down the streets on her way home when a black Honda pass her. The window of the car rolled down "Kakyuu-hime," the driver called out to her. Kakyuu turned to the person who called her "Ara Endymion-sama!" she exclaimed & walk towards the car. "What a surprise to see you, Endymion-sama." she said smiling at him. "Please just Mamoru." he said "Ok, but call me Kakyuu." "Ok. Say why don't you hop in & I'll drive you to your house." he said "Wouldn't it be too much of a trouble?" she asked him. "Nah! Besides it's dangerous for a woman to be walking the streets at this hour." he said & proceeds to open the door of the passenger seat for her. "Ok" Kakyuu said entering the car.

"So Kakyuu-san, what were you doing walking out the streets this late?" he asked striking a conversation. "Um, I was on my way home from Usagi-chan's place. How about you?" she asked facing him. "Same here I am on my way home from work." he replied "Um, so Kakyuu-san where is your place?" he asked her the directions to her house & had a little chat with her about the purpose of their visit to Earth.

"We're here!" he announces as they near the gates of a grand mansion "Wow, you didn't tell me you live in a mansion." Mamoru said awed by the grandeur in front of him. "You never ask." was her only reply as she exits the car. "Well see around Mamoru-san & thank you for the ride." she said then proceeds to enter the house a butler holding the door open for her. "Kakyuu-san!" Mamoru called out to her "Yes?" she turn around "I was wondering if you would like to eat lunch with me tomorrow?" he asked "Um, Ok!" she replied. "Great I'll pick you up tomorrow around 11:00." "Ok, Oyasumi Mamoru-san" she said "Oyasumi, Hime." with that he sped off.

As Kakyuu entered the mansion three men are waiting for her at the main foyer. "Kakyuu-hime, where have you been?" Yaten demanded "Usagi's place" she shrugged climbing the stairs "Who's that guy with you?" Taiki asked "Mamoru" she replied without care & proceeds to go to her room.

Taiki & Yaten turned to Seiya "What do you think is up with her?" Yaten asked, "Maybe we should follow her tomorrow." Seiya suggested then they heard a cry from Kakyuu's room "Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, If you so much as follow me tomorrow I'll have your heads in a platter do you hear!" Kakyuu yelled from her room. The three cringed at her cry. "Hai, Hime!" they answered. "Good! Oyasumi!" she said "Oyasumi!" the three replied sweatdropping.

Next Day

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Come in" Kakyuu said fixing her hair in front of her vanity. "Kakyuu-sama?" the elderly butler entered the room bowing slightly "What is it, Andrew?" Kakyuu asked facing the man. "A Mr. Mamoru Chiba is here looking for you ma'am." he answered. "Oh, tell him I'll meet him in a minute." she said "Very well, ma'am." Andrew bowed & exited the room.

A few minutes later Kakyuu emerge from her room wearing a simple magenta sundress & red sandals. Her hair is down from her usual loop hair style & she wore little make up. She made her way towards the receiving room. There she saw Mamoru looking at the paintings on the wall.

"Mamoru-san?" Kakyuu called out his name as she approach him. He turned to face her & smiled "Nice place you have here, Kakyuu-san." approach her & handed her a beautiful red rose. "For you." he said handing her the rose. She place the rose under her nose smelling the sweet sent "Thank You." she said. "Shall we?" he offered her his arm & she loops her arm to his & they left to have lunch together.

"...And then Fighter manage to tackle Healer & both tumbled into the pond. Then when they emerge Healer was enrage & chase Fighter around the garden." Kakyuu & Mamoru were casually talking in a local cafe while waiting for their orders to arrive. "Do they always act like that?" Mamoru asked the giggling princess in front of him. "Um, yeah, they always do. Healer & Fighter always manage to get in each other's nerves. But they respect & cared for one another greatly." she replied.

Their conversation was cut short upon the arrival of their meals. They both ate in relative silence; occasionally one would steal a glance towards the other. After the meal Mamoru insisted that he should be the one to pay, since it's improper to let a lady pay for their meal. After they settled the bill, Mamoru suggested that they go see a movie.

9:00 p.m.

"Thank you, Mamoru-san. I really enjoyed your company." Kakyuu said as Mamoru pull up at the driveway of the Lights mansion. "The pleasure is all mine, Kakyuu-san" Mamoru said kissing Kakyuu's hand that earned him a light blush from the red head.

"Well, thank you again, Mamoru-san. I'll see you some other time." she said & she exited Mamoru's car.  "Good night, Princess." Mamoru called out to her, as she is about to enter the house. "Good night, Mamoru-san!" she said waving to him as he speed off the driveway.

Kakyuu sighed as she entered the house her mind was occupied with thoughts of Mamoru & that day's events. She didn't take notice of the three men lounging at the receiving room as she went up towards her room with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"What's with her?" Yaten asked as he looks at Kakyuu. His companions shrugged "I don't know Yaten, I don't know." they said sweatdropping as they saw Kakyuu almost bumping a post on her way to her room.

AN: Yatta! I am done with this chapter although it's kind off short anyway I hope you like it. Please R&R. ^_^

(1) I am assuming that Kakyuu is older than any of the lights and since she considers them her siblings in this story I think its appropiate that Seiya is her little brother. Furthermore according to the stats that I have gathered Seiya is the youngest Light.

(2) Akiramenai - 'I won't give up!'
