Konnichiwa BOOKIE!! Oh wait... ::fake coughs straightening up:: Your supposed to be called a 'dairy' ne? Well even though you're a plane ordinary bunny notebook, I guess I could call you that.
I don't know why girls over in America write in these things but to keep their secrets in them. I don't really have any, but I will put my thoughts into you. Though... ::thinks a minute:: After thinking it over I decided I should have gone for the diary with the sleeping bunnies on it 'cause if that brat (Shingo) gets a hold of you... and reads you... Ohhhh I'll beat him to a pulp that little baka! But I couldn't 'cause I spent all my money at the Crown trying to beat Minako at the Virtual Racing game... again. I'll beat her one-day you just watch me!
Well what should I put for the first time writing? Hmm... OH! I know! About myself! ::grins happily:: Well my names Tsukino Usagi and I'm fifteen years old living in Juuban district of Tokyo. I live with Okasan Ikuko, Otousan Kenji and my every annoying brother Shingo. Ohh and I have my kitty with me! Luna, she's a little large for a cat; don't tell her I said that though, she'd claw my face out!
You know I'll have to ask Ami-chan if she can put a lock on this somehow. Her being the smartest person that I know has to know of a way or something. I don't want anybody reading this.
::sighs:: For a fifteen year old I seem pretty normal but last year I met Luna being attacked, well, alrighty 'picked on', by a bunch of boys. And me being the caring person I am couldn't let the poor kitty be tortured like that! Stopping my mad dash to school I ran over scared the brats off and saved the kitty. Picking her up I noticed she was a deep purple, not black like she looked with large scarlet eyes staring up at me, almost questioningly.
Noticing the two band-aids on her head I carefully removed them, not wanting to hurt the poor thing but once they were off, a golden crescent moon shown back at me. "That's weird" I had mumbled before screaming I was going to be late and taking off again.
That night when I was getting ready for bed I turned and saw her on my window's ceil, wondering what she was doing there I asked her. I didn't expect an answer. But imagine my surprise when I got one!! WOW! Talk about being scared! A talking cat? NO WAY!
::laughs:: Now I know why. I'm Sailor Moon, Senshi of the long lost Moon Kingdom. I'm the reincarnated Tsuki no Hime. The other Senshi that I've met are my guard and best friends. We managed to find my lost love from that time only to loose him again to Death's hands as he tried to save me.
Happily, I can say that at that time I was 'awakened' and now we've found him again! The only down side to all this is that now our ::blushes:: future daughter is here with us. Living with me under the magic of her Luna P ball making Okasan and Otousan think she's their niece. Rini... she can be a major brat... a SPORE!! But she's got a soft side for me, I can feel it.
Now I'm in eighth grade, next year I'll be in high school! HAI! Who would have thought that I'd make it that far? I know I never did. I mean I never took school seriously and skipped the study sessions with the girls to hang at the Crown. I thank the Gods everyday for letting me get this far. But now, I've got to go! Mamo-chan and I have a date tonight! Write laters!
Ja ne,
Usagi-chan ^_^ //

I chuckle re-reading the first entry I ever wrote in this seemingly non-warn out book of mine, almost three years back, in my 'dairy' and start a new entry skipping over all the ones from years before. I stretch my arms and trying to ease the pain in my neck by rolling it before starting. Kami-sama my neck hurt. Have you ever worked all day hunched over a desk barely looking up all day? If you have then you know how my neck feels right now. Stiff and hurting. Well here goes...
'
//August 23rd, AC198
Did I ever write in here that Ami was able to cook up a lock for it after all? It's a magical one that only responds to my touch, my commands. I didn't think she was able to do that at the time, but like they say, 'Only time can tell'. And true to the statement, a week later little Ami-chan had the spell worked out.
When I asked how she did that in wonder, she had said she took some of her Mercury powers and took some from my broach when I let her borrow it. I was confused then as to how she got it from the broach when it's only supposed to heed my wishes. She explained it in scientific form that I didn't understand then.
Actually took me three weeks of thinking but I went back asking, "So basically, since your request to it was of good means and was in the end for me, it granted it?" I didn't laugh at her confused surprised face, that would have been very rude, but after she gave a nod I burst out laughing throwing a fist in the air exclaiming "HAI! I'M SMART AFTER ALL!" But alas after everyone got their laughing under control Rei-chan has to spoil it with some comment like "Hey there might be hope for Odango yet!"
I laugh at the memory now. It was so fun back then. I'm not saying it isn't fun now or anything. It's still quit fun, just... most work. ^_^ Call me crazy, but I still like to slack off in class, hang at the Crown and window shop, get with Minako-chan and go boy hunting just like we did all the years before Mamo-chan er, well I guess he's back to Mamoru-san now, ne? Ever started going out.
Oh? I bet you - the mysterious reader - are wondering what exactly happened to 'Mamo-chan' and I, ne? Well I don't know how much of me you already know, I mean how else would you be able to open this book unless my end has come? But Mamo-chan and I have been apart for almost a year now. Why? Ne... best said I think would be a 'difference in opinion.' Well no... that's kinda a bad way to put it, but it's close.
::rolls her neck around trying to ease the taunt nerves:: Hoy it hurts... urmm so back to the reasoning. See back when I was fifteen, a year after having meet him and going out for a few months, he said he had dreams. Dreams that foretold some kind of disaster that would happen to me, thus 'me' winding up dead, or badly hurt. So what'd the baka do? He broke up with me.//

Stops writing in the dairy as small hands try massaging her sore shoulders and neck feeling more like a hard rubbing. "Hmm..." softly rolling my stiff neck about the small working hands, "That feels much better Sokai-chan, arigatou gozaimasu..." Murmuring my thanks for her small helping hands that kept massaging at the sore muscles as I went back to writing in my diary, not worried of the other girls peeking knowing she couldn't see over my shoulder.
* * * * * * * * * *
'
//Okay, granted some dreams come true, like Rei-chan's. Hers are almost always coming true. But Mamoru's? Ugh, call me silly but I believed him and let it go thinking, 'He's just trying to protect me. He'll come back to me in time.' And he did too.
But then... ::sighs in remembrance:: a year later after a rather long and tiring youma attack he took me by my arm - not noticing there were burn marks all along it - wincing in pain I followed him giving him 'the eye' as the girls had come to call it. He let go - finally - and started rambling on about something that I wasn't listening to. I couldn't. When I looked to his eyes and saw the faraway look, the slight confusion and coldness that was trying to stay hidden, I tuned it all out.
I snapped back 'into' the conversation at the words of 'dream and so I-' I had shook my head to clear it stomping the uninjured foot - the other one was scrapped by one of Jupiter's reflected lightening attacks - getting his attention with a "No!" He looked at me confused for a second before asking me "Huh?" ::laughs:: Not a very intelligent thing coming from a college student let me tell you! But I held back laughter hiding it with my anger.
"Iie." Stating it calmly as I could staring him in the eyes, "I refuse to be broken apart again because of your 'stupid' dreams that never happen!" I motioned to Super Sailor Mars who hung onto Super Sailor Jupiter for support having a badly sprained ankle, "If it was her dreams, I'd believe them, but yours? Heh yours has yet to come true the first time, so no. I'll break up with you instead, if it's all the same to you." Smugly, I smiled, turned to my Senshi letting the laughter show in my eyes as I helped Jupiter with Mars and returned to the Temple.
Ohhh that was a good night! No one believed that I had it in me to do that. Heck! I didn't even know that I had it in me to do something like that. ^_~ Just goes to show, you get a bunny upset they'll pounce and bite back. Well maybe not bite but, definitely pounce! So my dear reader, that is how we became separated.
Now I go to high school with the others and try my best. That's all anyone ever wants from me. They long ago stopped teasing me and griping that I didn't try hard enough (in more then one thing) and basically 'sucked' at fighting - though they said it much nicer - I knew what they were getting at. They still tease me a little, but not like they used to, and when they gripe, it's a nicer kind. Over time Rei-chan and Mako-chan helped me in hand-to-hand combat. I've gotten much better; I can almost hold my own against either one of them for little over an hour now! Great, ne?
Now I know there's more to say, but its time that I make dinner for me and Chibi Sokai. Who's that you ask? ::wonders why she write this like anyone will truly read it:: Well that's a story for later, an important one in my minds eye. So 'til then!
Ja ne,
Usagi-chan ^_^ . //

"Alright Sokai-chan, oyasumi nasai and kanmu hun" I wave at the small dark haired girl as she slowly tiredly walks to her room to seep. It's late now, around nine in the evening and well time for her to hit the sack. Sighing I turn my attention back to the diary slowly waving a hand across the front watching as its cover flips open automatically turning to the last page I had written on.
'Hai, definitely love the spell.' After staring at the page a few minutes, glancing over my back to her now closed door and back to the book again I pick up my pen thinkingly and start once more.
'
~ After dinner ~
//Okay back. Hai I can actually cook dinner... well some things anyway. ^_^; Mako-chan's still teaching me to cook more stuff, tonight I just cooked curry, easy enough to make. I found out in the last two years in high school that it is possible for me to learn. I just really have to put my mind to it. I joke around sometimes saying that I have to 'gather my mind together before we can start!' Meaning the study sessions. ::nods:: Yeah we still have those, in the same place no less. ::giggles softly::
Not much has changed since when I was fifteen. The break up with Mamoru-san caused some chain reactions though. ::looks sad:: There's one thing I can say I'll miss about that... and that's Chibi-Usa. I know we didn't seem to get along much and that we called each other just about every childish name you can think of... But deep down we loved one another dearly. I really miss her now...
::starts to smile:: But now I've got Sokai-chan to take care of. I know your wondering just who this mysterious Sokai could be, and I know it's a long entry for one day, demo it's the weekend and I haven't used this book for almost a year... so much is to be said. So I'm making up for it.
After Chibi-Usa said she needed to go back home, I knew I wouldn't see her again, so I hugged her for all I was worth holding back tears 'til she left before collapsing to the ground immediately crowded by my Senshi trying to comfort me. I'm glad they were there...
Okie back on track...
Umm, well a week or so maybe it was longer, I can't remember now, but a week or so later when walking home from school I had just turned the gated corner into the yard and stopped at the sight that met my eyes at the door. A small girl no older but looked to be a year or so younger then Chibi-Usa, was lying curled up on the doormat. Startled at seeing her there thinking she was hurt I ran forward dropping my bag kneeling at her side checking her pulse. (Hai Ami-chan's a good teacher also.)
I didn't find anything seemingly wrong with her when I looked her over and tried waking her. She wouldn't wake up, I couldn't just leave her laying there, so I unlocked the door, threw my bag inside and turned to gently pull the child into my arms kicking the door shut I went upstairs placing her in my bed covering her up. I kept watch over her while I did my homework. Luna came in sometime later through the window. Baka almost started shouting at me asking who she way before I slapped a hand over her mouth explaining all that happened. She agreed we should wait 'til she woke up to assume anything. ::chuckles:: That was kinda obvious huh?
It wasn't 'til around eight or so that she woke up, she seemed scared of where she was. I had asked her name and all she said was, "Watashi Sokai desu" and left it at that. I asked if she knew where she was? She shook her head answering 'iie'. So I asked why she was sleeping on my doorstep, it wasn't like it was an everyday thing.
"I... I don't know..." her little head shook in her hands, "I j-just had this... this feeling... t-to come here..." tiny face holding nothing but confusion and sadness, though I didn't know from what then, and am still wondering about that now. Pulling her gently into my arms, like I had to Chibi-Usa times before, softly rubbing circles on her back with the balls of my hand, holding her with the other whispering quiet words of comfort.
I never changed in that way, that I would openingly comfort anyone that needed it, or cheer them up, help or just be me around. I know I've changed since the year of becoming Sailor Moon, but that part of me has not been touched and still remains the same today, as it always will. Time will tell... okies back to what happened... lemme see, what else happened now... Oh yeah!
It was probably twenty minutes later when she had finally calmed enough to speak telling me in a small shaky voice that she was sorry for crying on me and coming without warning, but that a feeling told her to come to me, she didn't know why or how, just did. I had nodded in understanding. ::giggles softly:: Being SM you get to see and experience things that normal people wouldn't, and having your future daughter come to you from 30th Century Tokyo...
But her telling me she had a 'feeling' to see me, just well... felt right. Call me crazy but somehow I've got a premonition that whenever in need, people will always come to me. Some say I'm right and that it's because I'm my mother's daughter. ::giggles:: They're probably right but that's getting off hand... again. Gomen ne, its very late now and my mind likes to wonder.
Anywho. I didn't doubt her words. I did ask if her Okasan and Otousan would miss her but she shook her head snuggling deeper within my hold and crying once more. I decided then it wasn't a good idea to bring up her parents for a while. I've tried times since then, but I just get this sad look and a shake of her head before she'll turn into her room, leaving me alone in my thoughts. ::glances to her closed door:: I don't know what troubles the small one, but I do vow one day to find out, one way or another. It's not good for one so young to keep all the emotions bottled up inside. Right? ::sighs:: Well I think so.
So now... almost two years later here we are. ::waves a hand about the medium sized apartment:: Living on our own with Mako-chan. Her place you ask? Iie, it's ours. See when I became a freshman and still living at home it was a little further from there to school then it was from Juuban Middle. So. It being a logical thinking - or so I thought - It'd be easier to just move into my own place with Sokai and go from there.
Of course that didn't go without say from Okasan worrying about Sokai and my safety and well bring, how'd we get by and all that. Then Otousan had to bring up the fact that I didn't have any money to support us on. Why do parents have to bring up the good points in a nice dreamy plan? Huh? I mean really now! If its ones dreams and hopes to do something, don't go and point out the flaws in it like that! Let it grow a little you know?
But they had good points. I had very little money, next to none truthfully. So trudging back to my room shoulders slumped I sat on the edge of the bed thinking. What else could I do? I wasn't going to have Okasan and Otousan give money for me to move out thought Okasan would gladly do it, Otousan was livid that he would have no part in it. That was alright though, I know he was just worried about his 'two girls'. ^_^
Sokai-chan is now his adoptive daughter. Well not legally, but to us she is, after hearing from me how I found her and how she had gone to peaces over asking of her parents, they agreed to have her stay with us, in my room. ::giggles:: Always my room. Better not have a boy coming next saying he was told to come here. ::laughs quietly:: Hai, hai, I know, wondering mind... ugh I'm getting there! Really!
Okay so skipping all the conversations with the parental units ::snickers:: I had told Mako-chan about my plan. It turns out that with what I had, Sokai-chan did have some money with her, quiet a bit actually. Guess her parents didn't want her to be poorly off. Anywho after explaining who the 'kid' was, she agreed that it was a good idea. She said that they could go find one with two or three rooms and she'd join us later. It took me a few minutes before what she was suggesting sunk in. She wanted to MOVE IN with US! That was the greatest thing I've heard all day! I hugged the life out of her much to the amusement of Sokai-chan, then turned and hugged her dearly! We were gonna have our own place!
Then it hit me. Our money couldn't last forever. So I brought up the question of how we were to survive like that through school? Mako-chan simply said not to worry about it. So I didn't. I trusted Mako-chan with my life. She's like my fierce protector and bigger sister I've never had. It's a bond that's shared both ways; to her I'm like her little sister. ::giggles:: And Hime. I loved all my Senshi, all were sisters to me, and me to them a little hime sister. ^_~
But the next day - a Saturday - Sokai-chan and I headed from the house hand in hand with Luna to search out a new place. Now we didn't know what we wanted. A big place sure, but not huge, and not small. We also didn't know if we wanted a two room or a three room. I mean, Sokai-chan and I could take the larger of the two and add a smaller bed to it for her and get a set of rice paper screens to divide the room.
In the end we decided on a nicely placed three bedroom one bath apartment half way between school and home. It had a medium sized living area, kitchen off to the right with the door a few feet away settled in a small hallway leading to both. To the left were the three rooms and the bathroom. Sokai-chan and I had rooms directly across from one another; Mako-chan's room was on my side across from the bathroom. All the rooms were good in size, enough that everything fit into them and left room for little more. It was a great place. Is, a great place. ^_^
The other girls were overly hyper that we had a place of our own to stay at. We had sleepovers regularly and the girls soon took to Sokai-chan as a little sister, me and Mako-chan being like her mothers; kinda like Hota-chan is to Michiru and Haruka. It's really ::yawns:: great here...
Mako-chan's not here right now though. She over to Minako's for something... I can't remember what... but that's al-right 'cause we're doin' good ::yawns:: and going to bed. ::chuckles shaking her tired head:: You know the words are starting to blur together now... Kinda weird lookin'... Well anyways... I think that pretty much catches the diary up for the last what? Half a year I didn't write? I'm sure I left a few things out, but that'll have to wait 'til later 'cause I really can't seem to keep my eyes open now...
Oyasumi nasai,
Usagi-chan ^_^ . //

Writing her name and trademark bunny ears Usagi closed the book with tired movements slipping it onto the dressers' drawer. Stretching, yawning she stood and changed into her nightie then made her way around the apartment making sure everything was locked that needed to be. Once back in her room she glanced around hitting the lights before slipping into bed, nudging Luna out of her foots way before snuggling into the warm sheets. Saying a silent prayer to Selene to watch over all she held dear she felt Luna snuggle up to her side; curling one arm around her she let sleeps warm darkening embrace pull her in, letting go of the conscious realm./p

They still tease me a little, but not like they used to, and when they gripe, it's a nicer kind. Over time Rei-chan and Mako-chan helped me in hand-to-hand combat. I've gotten much better; I can almost hold my own against either one of them for little over an hour now! Great, ne?
Now I know there's more to say, but its time that I make dinner for me and Chibi Sokai. Who's that you ask? ::wonders why she write this like anyone will truly read it:: Well that's a story for later, an important one in my minds eye. So 'til then!
Ja ne,
Usagi-chan ^_^ . //

"Alright Sokai-chan, oyasumi nasai and kanmu hun" I wave at the small dark haired girl as she slowly tiredly walks to her room to seep. It's late now, around nine in the evening and well time for her to hit the sack. Sighing I turn my attention back to the diary slowly waving a hand across the front watching as its cover flips open automatically turning to the last page I had written on.
'Hai, definitely love the spell.' After staring at the page a few minutes, glancing over my back to her now closed door and back to the book again I pick up my pen thinkingly and start once more.

~ After dinner ~
//Okay back. Hai I can actually cook dinner... well some things anyway. ^_^; Mako-chan's still teaching me to cook more stuff, tonight I just cooked curry, easy enough to make. I found out in the last two years in high school that it is possible for me to learn. I just really have to put my mind to it. I joke around sometimes saying that I have to 'gather my mind together before we can start!' Meaning the study sessions. ::nods:: Yeah we still have those, in the same place no less. ::giggles softly::
Not much has changed since when I was fifteen. The break up with Mamoru-san caused some chain reactions though. ::looks sad:: There's one thing I can say I'll miss about that... and that's Chibi-Usa. I know we didn't seem to get along much and that we called each other just about every childish name you can think of... But deep down we loved one another dearly. I really miss her now...
::starts to smile:: But now I've got Sokai-chan to take care of. I know your wondering just who this mysterious Sokai could be, and I know it's a long entry for one day, demo it's the weekend and I haven't used this book for almost a year... so much is to be said. So I'm making up for it.
After Chibi-Usa said she needed to go back home, I knew I wouldn't see her again, so I hugged her for all I was worth holding back tears 'til she left before collapsing to the ground immediately crowded by my Senshi trying to comfort me. I'm glad they were there...
Okie back on track...
Umm, well a week or so maybe it was longer, I can't remember now, but a week or so later when walking home from school I had just turned the gated corner into the yard and stopped at the sight that met my eyes at the door. A small girl no older but looked to be a year or so younger then Chibi-Usa, was lying curled up on the doormat. Startled at seeing her there thinking she was hurt I ran forward dropping my bag kneeling at her side checking her pulse. (Hai Ami-chan's a good teacher also.)
I didn't find anything seemingly wrong with her when I looked her over and tried waking her. She wouldn't wake up, I couldn't just leave her laying there, so I unlocked the door, threw my bag inside and turned to gently pull the child into my arms kicking the door shut I went upstairs placing her in my bed covering her up. I kept watch over her while I did my homework. Luna came in sometime later through the window. Baka almost started shouting at me asking who she way before I slapped a hand over her mouth explaining all that happened. She agreed we should wait 'til she woke up to assume anything. ::chuckles:: That was kinda obvious huh?
It wasn't 'til around eight or so that she woke up, she seemed scared of where she was. I had asked her name and all she said was, "Watashi Sokai desu" and left it at that. I asked if she knew where she was? She shook her head answering 'iie'. So I asked why she was sleeping on my doorstep, it wasn't like it was an everyday thing.
"I... I don't know..." her little head shook in her hands, "I j-just had this... this feeling... t-to come here..." tiny face holding nothing but confusion and sadness, though I didn't know from what then, and am still wondering about that now. Pulling her gently into my arms, like I had to Chibi-Usa times before, softly rubbing circles on her back with the balls of my hand, holding her with the other whispering quiet words of comfort.
I never changed in that way, that I would openingly comfort anyone that needed it, or cheer them up, help or just be me around. I know I've changed since the year of becoming Sailor Moon, but that part of me has not been touched and still remains the same today, as it always will. Time will tell... okies back to what happened... lemme see, what else happened now... Oh yeah!
It was probably twenty minutes later when she had finally calmed enough to speak telling me in a small shaky voice that she was sorry for crying on me and coming without warning, but that a feeling told her to come to me, she didn't know why or how, just did. I had nodded in understanding. ::giggles softly:: Being SM you get to see and experience things that normal people wouldn't, and having your future daughter come to you from 30th Century Tokyo...
But her telling me she had a 'feeling' to see me, just well... felt right. Call me crazy but somehow I've got a premonition that whenever in need, people will always come to me. Some say I'm right and that it's because I'm my mother's daughter. ::giggles:: They're probably right but that's getting off hand... again. Gomen ne, its very late now and my mind likes to wonder.
Anywho. I didn't doubt her words. I did ask if her Okasan and Otousan would miss her but she shook her head snuggling deeper within my hold and crying once more. I decided then it wasn't a good idea to bring up her parents for a while. I've tried times since then, but I just get this sad look and a shake of her head before she'll turn into her room, leaving me alone in my thoughts. ::glances to her closed door:: I don't know what troubles the small one, but I do vow one day to find out, one way or another. It's not good for one so young to keep all the emotions bottled up inside. Right? ::sighs:: Well I think so.
So now... almost two years later here we are. ::waves a hand about the medium sized apartment:: Living on our own with Mako-chan. Her place you ask? Iie, it's ours. See when I became a freshman and still living at home it was a little further from there to school then it was from Juuban Middle. So. It being a logical thinking - or so I thought - It'd be easier to just move into my own place with Sokai and go from there.
Of course that didn't go without say from Okasan worrying about Sokai and my safety and well bring, how'd we get by and all that. Then Otousan had to bring up the fact that I didn't have any money to support us on. Why do parents have to bring up the good points in a nice dreamy plan? Huh? I mean really now! If its ones dreams and hopes to do something, don't go and point out the flaws in it like that! Let it grow a little you know?
But they had good points. I had very little money, next to none truthfully. So trudging back to my room shoulders slumped I sat on the edge of the bed thinking. What else could I do? I wasn't going to have Okasan and Otousan give money for me to move out thought Okasan would gladly do it, Otousan was livid that he would have no part in it. That was alright though, I know he was just worried about his 'two girls'. ^_^
Sokai-chan is now his adoptive daughter. Well not legally, but to us she is, after hearing from me how I found her and how she had gone to peaces over asking of her parents, they agreed to have her stay with us, in my room. ::giggles:: Always my room. Better not have a boy coming next saying he was told to come here. ::laughs quietly:: Hai, hai, I know, wondering mind... ugh I'm getting there! Really!
Okay so skipping all the conversations with the parental units ::snickers:: I had told Mako-chan about my plan. It turns out that with what I had, Sokai-chan did have some money with her, quiet a bit actually. Guess her parents didn't want her to be poorly off. Anywho after explaining who the 'kid' was, she agreed that it was a good idea. She said that they could go find one with two or three rooms and she'd join us later. It took me a few minutes before what she was suggesting sunk in. She wanted to MOVE IN with US! That was the greatest thing I've heard all day! I hugged the life out of her much to the amusement of Sokai-chan, then turned and hugged her dearly! We were gonna have our own place!
Then it hit me. Our money couldn't last forever. So I brought up the question of how we were to survive like that through school? Mako-chan simply said not to worry about it. So I didn't. I trusted Mako-chan with my life. She's like my fierce protector and bigger sister I've never had. It's a bond that's shared both ways; to her I'm like her little sister. ::giggles:: And Hime. I loved all my Senshi, all were sisters to me, and me to them a little hime sister. ^_~
But the next day - a Saturday - Sokai-chan and I headed from the house hand in hand with Luna to search out a new place. Now we didn't know what we wanted. A big place sure, but not huge, and not small. We also didn't know if we wanted a two room or a three room. I mean, Sokai-chan and I could take the larger of the two and add a smaller bed to it for her and get a set of rice paper screens to divide the room.
In the end we decided on a nicely placed three bedroom one bath apartment half way between school and home. It had a medium sized living area, kitchen off to the right with the door a few feet away settled in a small hallway leading to both. To the left were the three rooms and the bathroom. Sokai-chan and I had rooms directly across from one another; Mako-chan's room was on my side across from the bathroom. All the rooms were good in size, enough that everything fit into them and left room for little more. It was a great place. Is, a great place. ^_^
The other girls were overly hyper that we had a place of our own to stay at. We had sleepovers regularly and the girls soon took to Sokai-chan as a little sister, me and Mako-chan being like her mothers; kinda like Hota-chan is to Michiru and Haruka. It's really ::yawns:: great here...
Mako-chan's not here right now though. She over to Minako's for something... I can't remember what... but that's al-right 'cause we're doin' good ::yawns:: and going to bed. ::chuckles shaking her tired head:: You know the words are starting to blur together now... Kinda weird lookin'... Well anyways... I think that pretty much catches the diary up for the last what? Half a year I didn't write? I'm sure I left a few things out, but that'll have to wait 'til later 'cause I really can't seem to keep my eyes open now...
Oyasumi nasai,
Usagi-chan ^_^ . //

Writing her name and trademark bunny ears Usagi closed the book with tired movements slipping it onto the dressers' drawer. Stretching, yawning she stood and changed into her nightie then made her way around the apartment making sure everything was locked that needed to be. Once back in her room she glanced around hitting the lights before slipping into bed, nudging Luna out of her foots way before snuggling into the warm sheets. Saying a silent prayer to Selene to watch over all she held dear she felt Luna snuggle up to her side; curling one arm around her she let sleeps warm darkening embrace pull her in, letting go of the conscious realm./p
