Usagi is NOT a Whiney Crybaby!
Disclaimer: insert standard disclaimer
2002-2003
--------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
Wonder ceased to amaze Usagi Tsukino as she was dressing
for a formal occasion. Her mother had recently observed
her goal to become more of a grow-up lady. Ikuko felt
that it was time her daughter attended a community ball
the local clubs had. And of course, who better to be
Usagi's date, than the charming young man that
constantly followed her daughter home?
The boy was a dear, despite his love struck ways. Ikuko
shook her head and smiled, the poor boy didn't even know
what was coming.
"Okaa-san, what are you smiling about?" Usagi
interrupted her mother's thoughts as she appeared in the
kitchen wearing a long formal gown. The gown was a
simple piece, it was a pearl white that reached past her
ankles. A daring spaghetti strapped top with a delicate
looseness at the chest where it would hang in it's own
unique beauty.
"Nothing dear, just thinking about a quivering deer."
Smirked her mother.
Usagi looked at her mother, a deer? Why a deer??
"Alright mom.." Usagi weakly answered in return.
Ikuko walked up to Usagi to adjust her hair and stood
back to look at her daughter carefully. A lovely beauty,
much like her father's grandmother, Serenity Tsukino,
whom long since past away...
Ikuko thought it was best not to inform her daughter of
her surprise date till, well, he rang the doorbell.
Ikuko was already gushing with excitement.
"Okaa-san where did you find a date for me?" Usagi
asked. She couldn't believe her ears when her mother
told her she found a date for her. She never thought
herself as wanted, by any guy, other than Melvin.
However, that evidently, was an incorrect assumption. Usagi
was always too caught up to realize the many longing
looks many boys gave her at school. Or why every
Valentine's Day, there was always only one valentine left in
her locker from Melvin. However, if she actually looked
in the garbage bin next to the wall, she would realize
the overflow of gifts that were chucked into the hall
garbage bin by the last guy to gain her eye...(AN: you
know the Cuukoros? (sp) Fruits Basket!!! great
anime!!.....hoho neways back to the story...)
Ikuko snapped out of her dazed state, it is no wonder
where Usagi was graced with that ability to daydream.
She swept a hand through her daughter's loose strands.
"You've become such a lady, you know that, don't you
Usagi?"
Usagi was worried then, her Okaa-san only stated things
like that when the world was at a very dark end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru adjusted his tie and cleared his throat
nervously. Frankly he was severely surprised at the
question that Usagi's mother asked him the other day,
but It was a wonderful opportunity, as Rei distinctively
pointed out, for humiliation. For Mamoru, a day just
couldn't get better than a day with Usagi's classic
clinical case. Strangely he felt a pull deep within his
heart, yes the one that's barely functioning, it was
trying to tell him something he was sure of it. Was it
trying to tell him, that the only reason why he agreed
to play along for this childish game with Rei, was to
actually get closer to Usagi? Or was it the giddy
feeling he was suppressing, at the fact that he had been given a
night alone with Usagi? Or was it that painful feeling
*Kuris-chan cackles* that the author was inflicting upon
him, he wasn't sure.
Geez, he felt like he was in some sappy chick-flick, how
perfectly ironic. He took a deep breath and rang the
doorbell. The door immediately swung open, as Ikuko
stood there in her usual apron and tied hair, glowing
with a brilliant smile.
"Oh! Mamoru, do come in." She greeted, as she slipped to
the side to let him in. She continued talking, "Usagi
got kind of nervous and started to pack things into her
purse up in her room, you can go up and get her if you
like."
Mamoru slowly nodded as he headed up the familiar
staircase. He knocked on the door, and wondered what
Usagi's reaction was when her mother told her he was her
date. Did she wail her usual wail pleading with her
mother, till her mother probably pointed out what a
wonderful boy he was? Mamoru was proud at the good
impression he was giving off, surely Iluko-san has been
impressed! Usagi flung the door open in the most un-
ladylike fashion, Mamoru grinned at her reaction.
"MAMORU?!" She gasped, and just about fell into the
chaos of her room. She knew, she just knew her mother
was setting her up with trouble. At first she assumed
Melvin was her date, but Mamoru? He stood there neatly
tucked into a suit ready for a night out. As usual his
hair hung above his eyebrows in its sexy lazy thing, and
his eyes sparkled with amusement. She wanted to take her
heavy dress and fling it at him in fury, but instead she
took a deep breath and remembered, she wasn't that girl
any more.
Mamoru swallowed hard, she smiled, a sweet sticky smile
that curled her rouge lips in a forbidden manner. He
suddenly remembered why he avoided contact with her
after that time with the baby pictures...
Usagi on her part, knew Mamoru was pretty uncomfortable.
However, she was unaware as to why. She merely smiled as
she remembered the piece of advice that Minako had given
her, make the boy swoon. With a deep breath and a silent
pray, she went about putting Minako's strange advice
into action.
Mamoru's thoughts halted as she swept past him, grabbed
his tie towards her. She breathed to him she would be
waiting by his car, the warm breath tickled his senses
and caused him to quiver slightly. He attempted to block
out the logical observations of the warm proximity of
her lips as he headed after her. This, will most
definitely be a long and lively night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driving should not be legalized for guys with hormones,
especially if they were driving with a woman. Mamoru had
confidently decided that exact thought the moment he
parked the car. Who knew, Usagi could play this little
game of seduction so well. He shuddered at the memory of
the feel of her hand sweeping through his hair and down
the side of his face as he pulled an unusually large
left turn. "Mamoru there's something in your hair..."
She said, yeah there was something in his pants too.
Carefully exiting the vehicle he quickly ran to the
other side and opened the door for Usagi. Unfortunately
for her, or perhaps him, her long standing no klutz
period finally broke as she tripped on her long skirts
and fell into Mamoru.
Mamoru, of course, did the most instinctive thing he
could, he caught her in his arms. In which case, for
him, it was very unfortunate as he felt her warmth
penetrate his suit. Mamoru sighed as a sign of surrender
as he felt her softness comfortably pressed against him.
He didn't even give a warning of a heartbeat, Mamoru
bent over and brushed his lips against hers.
Usagi gasped at his actions, what was he doing? She
couldn't think or breathe, all her innocent little plots
of revenge died. Her lips burned, and tingled, flutters
were in her stomach, her heart beat rapidly against her
chest. Was that a kiss??
HA! No, it wasn't...
Usagi didn't argue with that.
His eyes clashed hers for a longing, for an answer, for
acceptance. Unknowingly, Usagi returned the gaze, and
Mamoru took her lips for good.
Now, that was a kiss.
Graphically speaking, their hearts swelled, heartbeats
pounded in their ears, limp at the knees, the works.
A deafening honk of the horn broke the two starry-eyed
couple apart.
Gasping for air and common sense, both run through their
minds over and over, at what had just happened.
"Usagi... I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen."
He exclaimed. Yet suddenly all that didn't make sense,
suddenly made sense...
He was in love with her! The short spats, the affect of
her when she would klutz into a room, The feel of her in
his arms, were just all so right, and sane.
Love, some did say you would know it's feeling when it
truly came along. Love was about working together, to
compliment each other... Usagi was his compliment, he
knew, he just did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly everything around him was a delicate web. The
dance went as smoothly as he could will it in his power.
Dancing in her arms, he held her as gently and as long
as he could. Feeling, being the moment. As they would
say, he turned over a new leaf.
To think, this started off as seducing Odango, no, she
seduced him. But she didn't have to seduce him anymore
that was the bliss of it. Love it was now, love it will
be, he'd be the one to show her that love. This new love
learned, and found, he would show her seduction is
nothing compared to this.
"Mamo-baka --- I mean Mamoru-san, What are you doing
standing there with your fist in the air?? I have to get
home before my dad decides to kill me, or you."
Usagi said. She eyed his curious behavior, she pulled up
next to him, her skirts flowing in her hands.
Mamoru gently placed the fist in the air, and spread it
over her hand.
"Sorry, I was, distracted, lets go Usagi."
Usagi was in his tow, stunned and dazed. He smiled a
heart-shattering smile. Something, she didn't think he
was capable of.
Usagi then felt rather, scared. He called her Usagi.
Whatever is the matter with Mamo-baka? What is this
fluttery feeling in her heart?

are so... overdone?? Hey but I didn't go through the
whole dance!...hahahah
