Chapter Five
"Rei-Chan say something." Usagi urges after the silence has nearly driven her nuts.
"Why?" Rei's question is simple.
"I asked the same question."
"Then what's the answer?" Rei demands.
"Their princess is dead," Usagi sighs, sadness washing over her at the thought of the beautiful princess' death.
"Uh huh," Rei responds slowly, "then why are they *here*?"
"Because they had no where else to go." Usagi responds.
"They had plenty of other places to go, an entire planet full of places to go." Rei snaps but once she takes in Usagi's fallen expression she softens, "you're glad he's back aren't you?"
"I've missed him." Usagi's response is honest and simple.
Rei sighs, "they shouldn't be here, and I'm not going to pretend that I'm glad they are back, but I won't attempt to stop you from seeing them."
Usagi shifts uncomfortably and nervously she says, "well that's the thing Rei-Chan, you can't really stop me from seeing him, I'm going to see him everyday."
"Odango, explain."
"Wellyouseehe'skindofmovinginwithme." Usagi strings the sentence together so fast that a normal person wouldn't be able to understand her, but years of friendship had taught Rei well.
"Excuse me?" Rei nearly chokes at Usagi's statement.
Usagi takes a deep calming breath and then states, "he's my Dad's newest client, well the Three Lights (thank you Lin-Chan for the correction, I should've caught that) are, and when my Dad found out that they hadn't found an apartment yet he invited them to live in our basement."

"Having fun?" Seiya walks up to Usagi at the party after he delivered the speech that Kenji had asked him to give on behalf of the Three Lights.
Usagi rolls her eyes, "these things are never fun, the only reason I go to them is for an excuse to go shopping. The only people who enjoy them are the ones who have something to gain from them, like me Dad, he loves these stupid parties..." Usagi makes a quick face, "gomen Seiya-kun, I guess this is sort of your party."
"I'll fill you in on a little secret," Seiya leans over and whispers, "these are booing for us too."
"I have an idea." Usagi's face lights up.
"What is it?"
Usagi leans over and whispers something in Seiya's ear and then adds, "if my Dad catches me I'm dead, but it'd be more fun then this."
Seiya glances around the room, "I doubt anyone here will miss me."
Usagi nods curtly and then warns, "just remember we have to be sneaky or I'm the one who'll be in trouble."

"Die scum!" The blonde super hero throws a blast of energy at the monster attempting a retreat.
"Watch out!" The blonde's sidekick calls out as the monster reforms and sends a blast of energy at the super hero, the side kick is to late and the blonde, with her long hair flying slams against a brick wall as an annoying electronic beeping is heard.
Seiya laughs out loud, "I tried to warn you."
Usagi drops the remote control with a sigh of frustration, "I hate this dumb level, with Sailor V's new sidekick I still can't win."
"So what is Sailor V's new sidekicks name anyway?" Seiya asks.
Usagi grins brightly, "actually it's a funny story. The company that puts out the Sailor V comics decided that Sailor V needed a sidekick so they had all the fans write in their ideas so Minako-Chan wrote in that Sailor V's cat, Artemis, should become human an become her sidekick."
Seiya laughs allowed, "really?"
Usagi nods, "they loved the idea and suddenly Artemis appeared."
"Speaking of Artemis, where's Luna?" Seiya asks looking around the nicely furnished basement that he would be staying in, "I haven't seen her."
"Yeah, she doesn't like to be around when there's a party so she disappears for a couple of days to stay out of my Mom's way."
"Smart cat." Seiya comments.
The two fall into a companionable silence until Usagi, "by now I think everyone knows you're back."
"Why do you say that?" Seiya asks.
"Rei stopped by earlier, Mamoru saw me with you but he didn't recognize you I guess he uh thought I was cheating on him. So I told Rei the truth, I think she would have preferred I lie."
"Odango remember what I said," Seiya insists.
Usagi's blue eyes darken and her face holds a seriousness that Seiya rarely saw, "and remember what I said. Now can we drop this subject, I want to watch a movie."
Seiya nods, "sure, what movie? I'm all ready vetoing a chick flick though."

Usagi is just drifting into consciousness hours later and she doesn't want to move, she's warm and comfortable where she is but as she begins to wake up more her senses kick in and she realizes that she is wrapped in Seiya's embrace. Jumping up quickly she wakes Seiya up along the way, trying to hide her embarrassment at waking up snuggled in his arms Usagi urges Seiya, "get up, my Dad must have realized we were gone by now."
Quickly the two race up the stairs to find that the party has only thinned out slightly people are still talking and Usagi's mother gives her a look that says, "you're lucky."
"Usagi-Chan! Seiya-kun! There you are!" Kenji calls from across the living room. "I was just talking about how Seiya will be starting classes at your school Usagi."
"Rei-Chan say something." Usagi urges after the silence has nearly driven her nuts.
"Why?" Rei's question is simple.
