Chapter five of Naisei
Rated R
By Miaka Hime
Gosh this took me forever to write, I must have wrote and re-wrote this chapter five times before it finally looked good enough for me. I had major writers block as well and that didn't help, but I'm hoping it'll go away soon. I also tried to make this a happier chapter since everything's been so dark. Hope you like it!

Minako let out a yelp of pain as she fell not so gracefully onto the grass below her. As she sat there rubbing her sore posterior she looked around her and realized she was in front of an apartment complex, in broad daylight. She also happened to be in her orange boxer shorts and thin white tank top. Minako let out another scream when she realized a boy her age who seemed to have just walked up had been staring at her.
She was beet red by the time she saw Setsuna coming out of one of the town houses. "Gomen Minako-chan! I didn't mean to-" Setsuna trailed off when she saw the gaping boy. "Oh, Duo-kun! Usagi's in the shower still come back in five minuets, and if you're wondering what this is, it's just I accidentally let Haruka take me seriously, just a silly prank." Setsuna laughed nervously, which was quite a funny sight considering Minako had never seen Setsuna do something of this sort before.
The boy, or Duo, as he was now named shrugged. "I'll go get her and me a morning doughnut then you want one too babe?" He asked when he saw Minako drooling.
Minako didn't answer, she just allowed herself to be steered away from Duo, who was still talking away, not realizing that Minako wasn't even there.
Minako stopped drooling over the doughnut when Setsuna closed the door. "I'm sorry, there was a flux in the time stream causing you to be dropped in the front yard instead of the living room." Setsuna said seriously. "I'll have to go back to the gates to see what caused the problem, you stay here and explain to Usagi what's going on, there are some papers on the counter, you should read them over, they explain about this time frame." Setsuna said this quite hurriedly before disappearing in a flash of maroon light.
Minako looked around her an air of indecision surrounding her. She finally decided to start reading the papers, and became so engrossed in them she didn't hear the crash of Usagi's bag hitting the floor. "M-Minako-chan!" Minako's head snapped up. "Oh! You're out of the shower." She said with a wide smile. "W-What are you doing here?" Usagi asked. Minako dumped her smile, knowing a bubbly personality wasn't needed right now. "I came to help you I'd like to explain things to you if you'll listen." She said setting the papers down neatly. Usagi whom was still stunned and had become speechless nodded. "When he did what he did to you I I didn't know how to react, so I pushed you away. I can't speak for the others, but that was what I did. I came here because Pluto said you needed a friend that already knew you well, I was hoping to be that friend." Usagi's eyes filled with tears and she flung herself onto Minako. "Oh Minako-chan! I forgive you, and I want you to be my friend and stay with me forever and ever as best friends!"
Minako smiled and hugged her princess back, and the two went into Usagi's room to change and talk about what had been going on. "Things have been terrible Minako-chan! I almost got raped again, if it weren't for Hiiro, I probably would have been. I've been really depressed too I just need a friend right now." Usagi spilled as soon as they'd sat down on her bed. Minako wrapped her arms around her friend. "Usa-chan, I know it hurts, and I know that it'll take awhile to get over but please believe me that everything is going to change, if not now then later." She said reassuringly as Usagi let the tears flow.
When Usagi had stopped crying Minako continued to hold her friend until she fell asleep. After Usagi began to snore, Minako laid her down. "Gomen nasai Usagi-chan, something that horrible never should have happened to someone like you. You're so pure, and still are but you see yourself like you're tainted, you need to see yourself strongly so you can live happily and see that you can never be tainted." Minako wiped a tear from her eye and stood up. "I'll make you some tea before that boy comes back." She said to Usagi even though she couldn't hear her, and with that Minako went into the kitchen and made a cup of tea which didn't taste too bad considering she was the worst cook ever, besides Usagi that was.
Minako went back into Usagi's room and borrowed some clothes and then worked on waking her friend. "Usagi-chan, wake up." She said shaking Usagi, who just rolled over mumbling something about pancakes. Minako put her hands on her hips and frown. "How the hell do people ever wake this girl?" She asked no one.
Suddenly as if a light bulb had been seen floating over Minako's head and had suddenly turned on. In other words she got an idea. "Oh no! I just ate and there's a HUGE piece of chocolate cake sitting here untouched!" Like a flash of lightning Usagi was up. "Cake!?" She said franticly. "Iie, but I made you some tea to make you feel better when you woke up." Minako said with a grin.
Usagi pouted but picked up the tea and sipped in gingerly before almost spitting it out. "Itai! It's hot!" Minako blushed. "Gomen nasai!" Minako apologized. "It's ok Minako-chan." Usagi said taking another sip. "It's not so bad now." She said with a smile.
Both girls jumped when there was a nock on the door. "Usa-chan! I have come to save you from the boredom of a Saturday afternoon!" They heard through the door. "It's Duo-kun!" Usagi said happily. "Duo-kun?" Minako questioned. Usagi didn't answer her instead she jumped off the bed and ran to the front door. "Duo-kun! Where's my Saturday doughnut?" Minako heard Usagi screech. A few seconds later she heard Usagi yell again. "YOU ATE IT!" Minako took it as her cue to help whomever was at the door out.
"Usa-chan! I'll buy you a doughnut!" She yelled running into the living room just as Usagi was about to throw a chair at the cowering Duo. Usagi dropped the chair and Duo let out a sigh of relief. "When?" Usagi asked happily. "Uh When Haruka and Michiru come back." She said nervously, for it suddenly hit her that she didn't have a penny to call her own. But this seemed to satisfy Usagi for a smile was on her face. "Duo-kun, this is Minako, a new roommate and an old friend of mine, Minako-chan, this is Maxwell Duo." Duo suddenly looked dumbfounded and scratched his head. "Usa-chan, my name's Duo, not Maxwell." Usagi blushed and Minako giggled. "I'm from Japan. In Japan we use the last name first and first name second." Duo looked less confused suddenly and nodded. "Anywhoo, I was wondering if you wanted to go swimming and Quatre's mansion." Duo said happily. "Sure!" Usagi squealed happily. Duo cocked his head to one side. "Usa-chan, you seem happier than usual I like it, it suits you, stay this way." He said with a grin. Minako smiled and intruded in the conversation. "If you go swimming what am I supposed to do?" She whined. "You could come too, there's no rule against it although I bet Wufei or Hiiro might try to make one, but that doesn't count." Duo said with another wide grin. Minako's face broke out into a smile as well as if Duo and Usagi's smiles were contagious. "WAI! I get to go swimming!" Minako said dancing around, and soon Usagi joined her and Duo stood there laughing until they stopped.
"Usa-chan, can I barrow a swim suit?" Usagi thought for a moment. "I don't think I have one." Minako's face fell. "But Michi-chan has about twenty, and a few of 'em, I'm sure one of them will fit you!" Minako's face lit up again. "Come on in Duo-kun while we grab some stuff." Usagi said pushing him inside and shutting the door.
Minako and Duo followed Usagi into Michiru and Haruka's room and the two looked through the drawers until they found one dedicated to swim suits. "There's two pieces, one pieces and" Usagi pulled out a pair of male underwear. "I don't want to know." She said throwing it back in the drawer. "I suggest a two piece." Duo said looking Minako up and down. Minako blushed. "I think I'll just wear the blue one piece." She said nervously. Duo winked at her. "You're no fun." Minako blushed redder and grabbed the one piece and ran into the bathroom to check to see if it fit.
After the conformation of the suit fitting Usagi checked the size of hers since she hadn't warn it since last summer and was discouraged to find it didn't fit and was forced into an aqua two piece which was now under her clothes and she refused to show Duo or Minako. "Aw come one Usa, I bet it looks cute!" Minako said with a giggle. Usagi groaned and quickly grabbed a back pack and threw a few towels in it and the three left for Quatre's.
~*~*~*~*
"Come out Usa-chan!" Duo and Minako yelled in unison. "If you don't come out I'll get Hiiro to come out and in there.. and he'll throw you in the pool!" Duo threatened with a 'Hn.' of disapproval from Hiiro who was in a changing stall next door. "Are either of you going to come out?" Quatre asked knocking on both of their changing rooms. A no was heard, and also a hn. "That means no." Quatre said to Minako and Duo who looked confused. "Baka onna, come out." Wufei said. Suddenly Minako saw fire and she turned to Wufei who looked at her oddly before he was tackled to the ground. "Take that back you ass hole!"
"Minako-chan!" Usagi yelled running out of the stall, she had a T-shirt over her bathing suit so it wasn't visible, but that didn't matter to her at the moment, what mattered was grabbing Minako off of Wufei before she gave him a black eye, which she did. "Although Wufei got a nice shiner under his left eye. "Gomen nasai, Minako-chan's very protective, so no insulting me anymore!" Usagi said while she checked over Minako to make sure she was alright as well. Wufei didn't reply he just stood there dumbfounded that a woman was strong enough to give him a rather hard punch in the face.
After what came to be known as the "Don't insult Usagi or you get the crap beaten out of you by Minako, incident." Hiiro finally emerged from the dressing room in a pair of black swim trunks and the most annoyed face ever seen on the perfect soldiers face. "Hn." He said, meaning, 'I'm out of the dressing room now.' "Let's swim!" Usagi cheered. Walking over to the pool. "Uh Usa-chan, aren't you supposed to take off the T-shirt?" Duo asked. Usagi nodded and took it off causing her to blush along with Quatre because Quatre seems to blush at everything. "You look great Usa-chan." Minako said taking off the shorts she had been wearing, causing Quatre to blush and Duo to Drool, and Hiiro, Wufei and Trowa to say nothing although they never say anything anyway so she didn't really cause them to say nothing.
After the shedding of clothing Usagi went to the deep end and began to test the water with her big toe, all the while oblivious to Duo and Minako sneaking up on her, that is until she was pushed into the cold water. "Minako! Duo!" She screamed. Her hair was now completely soaked and one bun was coming undone while the other sloped toward her ear. "Stupid hair." She said swimming to the shallow end where she got out. "Now I have to take it out." She said letting her hands trail up to the buns and releasing them of their rubber bands and bobby pins until her hair fell down to the ground. "Usa-chan" Minako said awed. She had never seen Usagi's hair down before. Duo was surprised as well, and so was Hiiro who was trying to hide it, along with Quatre who voiced his opinion. "Usagi-chan, it's so long." He said. "Hai, it should be because I've never cut it. Well except for the occasional trim, which I'm due for." Usagi said as she quickly grabbed a brush from her bang and began to braid her long hair. "Hey, hey, hey! I'm the only one with a braid here!" Duo whined. "Oh don't be a big baby, it's not copyrighted that you're the only one in the world that can have a braid is it?" Duo blinked in surprise and opened his mouth a few times to retort but no words came out. "I thought so." She said as she tied the end of her braid. "Now point me to the diving bored!" Usagi said happily as Quatre pointed to the end of the pool. Usagi jumped up and down happily and walked to the diving bored.
"Does she know how to dive?" Wufei asked, his curiosity getting the best of him. "I don't know." Minako answered watching as Usagi climbed the latter and walking to the edge of the board. "We'll find out." Quatre said as he watched Usagi reach the end of the board and ready herself.
Usagi jumped once, twice and then she jumped off the board and did a graceful dive into the pool before swimming to the shallow end and emerging from the watery depths. "That was fun! I'm glad I had Michi-chan teach me." She said with a grin. "That was great Usagi, very graceful in fact I just realized you haven't fallen or tripped over anything for the entire time I've been here, you're really becoming graceful Usa-chan." Minako praised her friend who gobbled it up and grinned happily. In fact while they were talking and Usagi was basking in Minako's praise Duo had somehow convinced the others to help him grab both girls by their ankles and wrists and throw them in the pool. Which ended in Usagi bringing Hiiro and Quatre in with her and Minako dragging Trowa and Wufei. Duo stood untouched laughing at his sopping wet friends. All of them, including Hiiro looked up at him, venom in their eyes. "Omae o kurosu, Duo." Duo eeped as the perfect soldier jumped out of the pool and ran after Duo with a gun. "Usa-chan! Is it normal for a teenage boy to carry a gun?" She asked. "It is for him." She said with a giggle.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi yawned as she and Minako walked up the steps to the apartment. "Swimming wears me out." She said grabbing a house key. "Hai, I like your friends, although Wufei ticks me off, but Duo's cute." Minako said with a blush. Usagi giggled along with her friend and unlocked the door, they walked in to see Hotaru, Haruka and Michiru sitting at the kitchen table for dinner. "We're home!" Usagi said happily. The three outer senshi looked up to see Minako along with Usagi. "Minako-chan, Setsuna said you were here and said to take her room since she's never here anyway." Michiru said. 'Maybe she'll help the princess.' The three senshi wished as they watched Minako sit down and scoop her servings. 'Onagai, let this help.' They thought. "Hey, are you going to buy me a doughnut now?" Usagi asked. Minako leaned back in her chair. "Anyone have a dollar?" She whispered to Haruka who just laughed and continued to serve herself some food.
Minako turned to Usagi who was getting angry. "I WANT MY DAMN DOUGHNUT!"
