CHAPTER 5

That night, Usagi was contemplating in her room. She was scribbling down the draft of her new novel. She was so inspired to start up her new story since her secret love reads her novels. She didn't notice the time and she fell asleep while holding her lucky pen and leaning on her study table.

That very same hour, Mamoru Chiba was lying on his bed while reading a novel by Unotsuki Sagi. Somehow he feels that the writer of that story is very near to him.as if the author was studying in their school. Unotsuki-sensei's Photo Album is set at Azabu Senior High School. The characters of the novel resemble some familiar faces in their school. He continued to read the novel until he fell asleep while holding his book ner his chest.

The next day.

"Ohayo (Good morning!!!)" Motoki greeted the sleeping Mamoru "Ohayo!" Mamoru replied in a sleepy tone. "What happened to you?!!" Motoki asked worriedly. "Well.I read another book. I can't stop reading Unotsuki-sensei's debut novel." Mamoru said then he yawned and stretched his hand. "I have a good news for you!" "Nani? (What?)" Mamoru asked with interest.

Motoki opened his bag and gave Mamoru a folded paper. Mamoru opened it and sw an e-mail address.

mahouempitsu@yahoo.com

"What is this?"Mamoru asked "Well I surfed the net yesterday and I manage to enter an official website dedicated Unotsuki-sensei. It's a reliable source cause a close friend of hers own the website." Motoki explained.

Mamoru's eyes spared with happiness.

"Motoki.arigato! (Thanks)" then he gave Motoki a hug and ran to the hall so he can go the computer lab.

His heart is beating so fast and he can feel all his energy being transferred to his legs. He can now e-mail his favorite author. He was running.running so fast until.

"WHAM!!!!!!!!" "Ouch!!!" a lady yelled. "Ouch!!! Mamoru exclaimed. "CRACK!!!"
Mamoru stood up and saw that the lady he bumped was the lady he also bumped the during the start of their spring term. It seems that he stepped on her eyeglasses again. He also saw that her paper works were scattered on the floor.

"YOU!!!" they both exclaimed. "I am sorry!" Mamoru quickly apologized, "I broke your glasses again." "Iia nandemonai ( It' nothing.)" The girl answered shyly. She quickly picked up her eyeglass and her scattered papers. She didn't bother to arrange those papers and quickly ran but this time Mamoru held her arm tightly.

"Matte (Wait)" He said. "Naze?(Why?)" The girl asked. "I won't let you ran away again."He said. His deep blue eyes met her light blue eyes. "I am a weirdo I your eyes right? And a weirdo like me never mingles with your type." She said.

Mamoru felt guilty. He remembered that he called her a weirdo,

"I am sorry for that." He apologized. "Apology accepted but please let go of my arm." She said. "Oh! By the way let me pay for your broken eyeglass. I broke it for the second time.' "No thanks. It's all right." She said.

Mamoru slightly let go of her arm.

"I am Chiba Mamoru." "I know!" she said. "Well may I know your name?" he asked. "Tsukino.Usagi Tsukino." she replied. "Have we met before?" "Well..ah.I think we met when we were---"

She was suddenly cut out by a voice calling Mamoru. It was Sauri running towards him. She hugged him tightly and looked at Usagi vainly.

"Who the hell are you?" She asked. "She's my new friend.Tsukino-san" "Tsukino-san? Your from class A right? You're the weirdo that always hangs around Kino-bakemono!" "Excuse me.I have a proper name and Makoto is not a bakemono (monster)!" Usagi walked as fast as she could. That Sauri Motoyama is really annoying.

Mamoru watched her drift away from his sight. He looked at Sauri in disappointment.

"I was just talking to her." He removed her hands around his neck and walked away from Sauri. "Matte Mamo-chan!" Sauri ran after him.
