:D I'm back! hears groans ^^;; I know my fan-fics aren't the best and they
are always EXTREAMLY short (would you not agree?), but I'm seriosly trying to improove.
(*coughs* that AND my spelling). Has
anyone noticed my grammer and stuffies (stuffies = story format) is getting better?
chuckle BUUWAHAAHA! Don't deny it :PP
I'm currently looking for a beta reader, who will correct my spelling mistakes and
other grammer mistakes. My spell checker doesn't work anymore ToT.
Which is why there might be a few typos in this chapter, even though I've revised it a zillion
times.. okay well not a zillion... maybe just twice. :P .... -_-
Comments and reviews are welcomed very much. And I hope you enjoy ^_^
Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor moon... xP If I did I'd be rich as heck.. *drools* ($_$)

RAINDROPS GLISTEN - CHAPTER 1 - "The water glistens off the golden paved
streets..."
He lie on his bed, dreaming about the girl, Usagi, she seemed so un-real,
too perfect. The summer rain trickled down his window panes, the room a cold grey.
Pitter patter, it went in a never ending tide. He turned over on his side, the clock
facing him. He thought about the day's current events. His thoughts giving
him no rest what so ever.
++++ FLASHBACK ++++
"I'm Usagi," her smile only grew and his heart only exapanded.
"The name suits you, you know," Mamoru smiled, squeezing her
hand slightly afraid of lossing her. "I'm Chiba Mamoru, but you can just call me
Mamoru." He gave her a small smile, marvelling at the sweet creature before him.
At that she smiled, and Mamoru let go of her hand reluctantly. They
both stood quiet for awhile, the summer's breeze passing through their hair,
softly caressing their faces.
A voice called out. First gone un-noticed by the two, and then once more.
"Usagi!" A girl with fiery raven black hair shouted, jogging up to them.
Her eyes a jem-like purple, darker than any amythest though, shined with curiosity,
and the corner of her lips turned up in a little grin.
"Usagi," she giggled, "gonna introduce me to your _friend_?" The word
"friend" had a slight emphasis, perhaps hinting something, Mamoru thought,
but ignored it when he saw the cutest thing possible: Usagi... had blushed.
He smiled inwardly, delighted at the soft feature that had graced her feature
for that brief second.
Usagi turned to her friend and whispered something hurriedly in her ear,
still a little embarressed while Mamoru stood by, eyeing the whole situation with a
little amusement.
The girl didn't wait to be introduced instead she simply flung her long
raven hair behind her neck. "I'm Hino Rei," she said, giving him an aprreciative
look, "my grandfather is the Hiwaka Shrine's priest."
Mamoru ignored her gesture with a little annoyance. He knew he had
seen her before. He wasn't a religious person, but he had caught a glimse of
her several times while passing the shrine.
She was beautiful to say the least, but no matter how pretty, it didn't
surpass Usagi's. Rei's beauty was more of an exotic kind, while Usagi's stood pure
and innocent... like an angel.
"I'm Mamoru," he replied for the second time that day.
"You wouldn't happen to be Chiba Arima's nephew would you? The
nephew who's heading off to be a succesful and world-wide known doctor?"
"Well I wouldn't go so far as to say all that... but yes." He then averted
his gaze over to Usagi to see that she was looking down at her shoes, for no
reason, and his brows furrowed in confusion.
"You went to Juuban High. last year didn't you? Usagi and me go there
now."
Juuban... so that's where she went. Why hadn't he ever seen her there
before?
He scoffed inside, perhaps because he was too caught up in his studies to care who
else existed.
"We're in our last year," continued Rei. At that moment another girl came
walking up, she had a rich chocolate brown head of hair. It was up in a simple
ponytail,
held up by an emerald green hair tie, which was also the exact color of her crystal
green gypsy eyes.
"Usagi! Rei?" She yelled incredusly, then sighing. "You guys are lucky I
didn't eat your ice cream cones." She muttered under her breath, handing the two
embaressed girls their ice creams, then turning to look at Mamoru. "Oh, hi!" she
smiled,
a soft smile of friendship almost, nothing at all like the one Rei had given him, and he
nodded in return.
"I'm Makoto," she shook his hand with her free one, the other occupied
with
her own ice cream cone.
Makoto then looked around her eyes searching the crowd. "You guys," she
turned her attention to Usagi and Rei, "we left Ami and Minako. We really should
be
getting back."
Rei nodded in agreement, and Usagi's, his angel, eyes flashed in sadness.
She
looked into his eyes and gave him a soft smile, "I'll see you around... Mamoru." And
then she
was gone. Like she had never been there. But the quick beating of the young
man's heart
spoke otherwise. Along with the lack of air, and the way he seemed to stand in
that spot for awhile, the herds of people passing and coming, watching the handsome
boy with curiosity, as he seemed to be on what people called, "Cloud Nine".
++++ FLASHBACK END ++++
The grey clouds continued its reign over the sky, its minions falling to the
ground below succeeding in covering the city in a glistening blanket. There was no
desire for the sun to come out because now the town was in a peaceful slumber
like
wonderland, something different for a change. A pleasent change.
He decided he would just take a walk, his thoughts were engulfed in
Usagi.
His studies completly forgotten like the world outside and everything else, but even
though he had _tried_ to study, he found his text book lying next to him forgotten
several times.
++++ SERENA'S P.O.V ++++
I kicked off my shoes nonchantly by my bedroom door and slipped on
my fuzzy pink slippers. I padded over to my window to see rain slithering over
the windows and down to the wet earth below. Again my thoughts ruefully
remembered
the young man I had met earlier. The boy with exemplary lapis lazuli eyes. Chiba
Mamoru. I whispered his name softly, letting his name softly roll off my tongue
in adequate delight. I turned away from the window deciding not to shut the
curtains
just yet, instead retreating to my bed, and flopping down on it pulling a soft pillow
onto
my lap for comfort.
His deep blue eyes haunted me like a dream. A dream I _never_ wanted
to forget.
Just then I heard a tap against my window. I dismissed it as
just rain though, giving no more thoughts into it.
Tap.......
.....Tap.
There it was again only a little louder, I got up from my bed a little
appalled, and made my way to the window cautiosly. I looked outside to see a
sillhoutted figure below my window, and to say I was stunned was an
understatement.
It was a little dark, it being past eight o' clock, so it was difficult to figure
out who it was. It was a man though, that I could tell by the build. I opened my
window
cautiously, the young man then climbed up the tree easily, and when the light from
my
room struck his face, a gasp over took me and I stumbled back a little. Blue eyes,
clean blue eyes, and my heart sped up. Once again his aqua eyes held me still,
and
all I could feel was my heart pounding furiosly, thretning to break my rib cage, and
my feet froze, cramping up and falling asleep beneath me.
'Not now,' my mind whispered urgently, and I swallowed. I felt like a fool,
just
staring like that. Though reality struck me like a jolt of lighting when I realized
Mamoru was wet, from head to toe.
"You're soaking! Here, come in," I took hold of his hand gingerly,
as I tried to help him come in. But I almost fell when his palm touched mine. That
jolt of lightning struck me once more, but this time it was different, this time it
travelled up my arm and down my back, pounding down to my frozen feet.
And when I tried to move,I yelped of suprise a little, forgetting that my feet
were asleep.
Mamoru looked at me, taken aback, "Are you alright?"
"Yes," I looked down a little shy, "my foot just fell asleep." I took his hand
again prepared this time, and helped him inside, his shoes making soft
squishy noises on the carpet as he stepped inside, and his his hands were
warm despite the cold rain outside.
His blue eyes flashed with something I couldn't recognize, but I dismissed
it for the time being as I hurredly went into the bathroom connected to my room and
pulled out a towel for him.
When I returned I paused for a second, just looking into his eyes, I'm not sure
why I did it, maybe because I couldn't believe that this was happening. I would've never
thought I'd be in this situation especially not with this young man I had
only met a few hours back. But I wasn't complaining. No... I don't think I could.
I handed him the towel, a small smile on my face, " Here you go."
"Thanks." His eyes were shining with gratitude, as though he had never
given it before. Could it be he had never had anything to be thankful for? No, my mind
berated me. He had everything he could want... money, smarts, looks, I reasoned, but
yet there was a voice in my head that told me that that reasoning was false. There
was something in the deep deep oceans of his eyes that told me ottherwise.
I sat down on my bed, watching him intently as he dried his hair first. He
answeed my question before I could ask though, as though he had plucked the thought
right out of my head.
"I saw you by your window," he started, " and I don't know what possessed
me to call you down, but I did."
I looked at him, not too sure what to say. And then he started again hurredly
as though he hd done something absolutly wrong and he meant to fix it before I could yell
at him, but I wouldn't yell at him, never.
"I didn't mean to disturb you, honestly, but I saw you there, staring out
your window, and you looked so ...beautiful," I gasped when he said that, and then
he continued, "and I lost all reasoning."
I could tell he was nervous and shy at the same time, he looked down at his
wet shoes and put the wet towel on the ground beside him.
"I should get going," I heard him say, and before I could stop him I said,
"Don't go," I saw him stop and look up at me, "it's alright, really it is."
There was a certain gleam in his eyes, it sparkled like a star.
"I kind of like .... that you're here."
At this he only grinned, and his boyish eyes danced like a bonfire,
his grin reaching his eyes. I simply blushed averted my gaze to my hands, then
I decided to get up and close the window to stop the cool draft that was
sweeping in. After closign it softly his hand caught my wrist for the second time
today. And his eyes shone once more, "You know, I'm glad to be here."
My heart began to dance rhytemetically in my heart. He let go of my wrist
and sat down on the stool by the window. "What were you doing before I dropped
by?" he inquired, attempting to make conversation.
Thinking of waht to say I paused. There was no way I could tell him
I had been day dreaming about him. He'd probably laugh no matter how nice
he was. There was a chance he wouldn't, my mind conquered. I shook my head
a little, trying to shake my thoughts of this revere, hoping he hadn't noticed.
He must not have, for he only took off his shoes in order not to
wet the carpet more than it already was. perhaps he had forgotten about the
question, I thought hopefully. No chance, for he then looked back up at me,
waiting. Just waiting.
"Uh well," I started, looking around my bed, looking for anything
to help me with my tall tale. A book caught my eye, "Reading!" I said, no yelled,
which made my lie too obvious. He only chuckled. A deep chuckle that rolled out
of his throat, it was rapture. It was a laugh that made my stomach churn and warm
with excitement, and before I knew it I was laughing too. He had an infectious
laugh wether he knew it or not.
He reached across and picked up the book, "10 ways to win a man, huh?"
he quoted, reading the title of the book and then raising a suggestive eyebrow, a
smirk gracing his beatuiful lips.
I felt myself flush, unsure wether it was to the fact that I had called his
lips beautiful or because of the comment he had made. "Mamoru!" I heard
myself yell, embarressed.
He grinned and laughed again.

I hope you all enjoyed! ( Short chapter, forgive me, gomen ne.)
If you did review or email me :))! Feedback is great, and I read and I
love to reply back to all my emails :) Look forward to chapter 2 coming out
sometime soon hopefully ( It'll be a miracle if I get it out next week or this month).
I'm currently revising "From Arizona to California" and seeing where I can go
with it. Right now i'm at a little writer's block unfortunatly with that story.
But I've gotten good reviews for that story, therefore I will continue it for the
sake of the readers out there :) Thank you guys :)
Much love 3
