"It's a Date!"
Days have past since the embarrassing ordeal with Harry and Usagi in the bathroom. But somehow this had brought the two of them closer. If Harry wasn't found with Hermione and Ron, he would be found in the back of the Magic Room's vast gardens talking and laughing with Usagi on her free time. The same would go for Ginny and Shingo, but the two of them have officially started dating. Hermione and Ron have already gotten very close to each other. It was just Harry now, but soon the time will come for him too. And that time will come.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Shingo were all sitting together under one of the huge cherry blossom trees in the gardens of the magic room. They just came back from lunch at the arcade and were resting and relaxing. Usagi couldn't be with them today since she had work to do, with much of the displeasure of Harry.
Harry seemed to have gotten very close with the Moon Princess. Both of them were often seen talking in the gardens laughing and talking. Harry still hasn't forgotten what had happened days before. But somehow that ordeal had brought them closer, as if it were meant to happen. Sighing loudly, with his thoughts drifting him away he leaned hi head against the huge cherry blossom tree.
"So," Shingo began, who was sitting next to Ginny. He turned to Harry with a grin on his face. "You seem to be awfully close with my sister." He finished, he grinned in satisfaction when he received a blush from the world famous boy who lived.
Harry's eyes grew in surprise; he never expected to hear that kind of question. He started to blush crimson when all eyes were focused on him. He noticed Ron was laughing in satisfaction. "I.I.guess." he stammered. He noticed that both Hermione and Ginny were giggling like two teen-age girls, 'Which they are.' he thought. Ron just raised an eyebrow and had a sly smirk on his face. And Shingo just looked very pleased.
Ron turned to Harry, "Then ask her out!" he said a huge grin was plastered on his face. Hermione and Ginny stopped giggling and started to nod furiously. Shingo nodded in agreement.
Harry blushed even harder. He waved his arms defensively, "I really don't think so, I don't think she's interested." He said with a hint of disappointment.
Hermione laughed at his answer. "The way you two are always talking and laughing together. I say you should ask her out, you'll be surprised by her answer." She said encouragingly.
"And the way you two are mostly together, people might already think you two are a couple!" added Ginny, laughing when Harry blushed.
'Maybe they are right; maybe I should ask her out sometime. It'll be fun.' Harry thought. He blushed slightly at the idea that he and Usagi would be 'together'.
"You know," began Shingo after the laughing and talking had settled down. "I have never seen Usagi so happy before. She used to be so carefree and happy. Usually she was the one who always would make people happy and get their spirits up when they are down, but now she is the one who always need someone get her to smile and laugh. After our parents' death, she changed so much. She wasn't as carefree anymore. Lots of things had happened to her after out parents died. Her friends deserted her for some reasons. She broke up with her ex-boyfriend mamoru, because he wished to go back to America to study but at time she needed some comfort but never got it. Later on she blamed herself of our parents death. It wasn't very often you would see Usagi smile a true smile or laugh heartily with no problems ahead. But you know what Harry?" Shingo turned to Harry; he gave him a sad yet happy smile. Everyone listened to what Shingo had to say next, they were quite amazed at what Usagi had gone through. "You made a difference. All of you did. When we got to know you, seemed like old times for Usagi. Having friends that were surrounding you constantly. It was like Usagi was back to normal somehow. You Harry have such a great affect on her. I have noticed that every time that you are with her, she would be like her normal self. Laughing and smiling like the old Usagi. A certain radiance of happiness that was always around her before was back again. You made a difference." Finished Shingo, he couldn't believe what he had just said. But somehow he felt relieved to finally tell some people what is happening.
Everyone stayed silent for a while and tried to absorb what Shingo had just told them. Especially Harry tried hard to absorb it, he didn't know he had such and affect on Usagi. 'Me? I did that? But, how could I? Does she feel the same way that I feel? But what do I feel?' he thought as he stayed silent. Came back to reality when he heard Hermione asked Shingo another question.
"I hope you don't mind me asking but how could she blame herself of the death of your parents? What happened?" asked Hermione curiously.
Shingo looked away, that question he could never answer. He couldn't tell them about the fight that happened here many months ago. "I can't tell you. It's sort off personal." He answered in a far away sort of voice.
Harry knew exactly how both of them felt but how could Usagi blame herself of the death of her parents? What happened? He sighed loudly he would never know. 'So am I going to ask her out?' he asked himself.
"So are you going to ask her out?" asked Ron again trying to change the subject. He wiggled his eyebrows at Harry and nodded furiously.
"I.I.guess.yeah.I will," answered Harry finally. Nodding his head in approval. 'If I am the one who changed her, then it means that she does feel something towards me. But what do I feel?' he thought.
"So, where IS Usagi by the way?" asked Ginny suddenly with realization. They hadn't seen Usagi the whole day at the inn. And Usagi needed to be there for Harry to ask her out.
"She is at Tengu Alley, shopping. Buying some things for the chef Emory. Who knows what Emory wants." Said Shingo shrugging his shoulders. Emory was known for his unknown and bizarre recepies. And also known for mostly blowing up the kitchen. Shingo sweatdropped when he remembered the time Emory blew up the kitchen when he added too much bat blood to the Unknown food he was concocting.
"We should probably get inside," suggested Ron, he looked up at the sky. "It's probably going to rain. Besides Harry needs to ask Usagi out when she arrives!" he added slapping Harry on the back happily.
When the arrived back inside the Inn, they saw Mr. And Mrs. Weasley come out of the fireplace. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny hurried towards them. Shingo had in the mean while excused himself and went to look for his Uncle to get back to his work.
"You are back early," commented Ron surprised to see his parents back from the Ministry do early. All of them took their seats by the fireplace.
Mr. Weasley sighed in frustration and started rub his temples. "All I can say is that, this is useless!" he exclaimed loudly. Catching the attention of some people.
Mrs. Weasley smiled warmly at the kids before turning back to her husband. "Now dear, I am sure that we will find out more really soon. Don't worry." She patted Mr. Weasley lightly on the arm before turning back to the children.
"So did you find anything new?" asked Ginny excitedly.
"Nothing, nothing at all! It seems like no one bothered to write anything about these Sailor Senshi! There are no books, no newspaper clippings. No nothing at all! All we know is what everyone else knows about them! I believe that minister is hiding something!" said Mr. Weasley sternly.
"I must say that you may be right on that one Arthur. Mr. Kurosawa, seemed very reluctant to tell us anything at all." Said Mrs. Weasley.
"I think I am going to bed now, I am very tired." Said Mr. Weasley slowly. He stood up and walked towards their rooms. Mrs. Weasley just shrugged and followed Mr. Weasley up the stairs since she was also very tired from all that researching.
"Isn't it a bit early to take a nap?" said Hermione looking at Ron.
Ron just shrugged, "They are all probably very tired from all the work. They deserve some rest."
"It's kinda weird you know, this is the place where the Sailor Senshi live but there are no news paper articles or anything about them in books here at all. But how come they are written in some books back at Hogwarts?" wondered Harry, his suspicions rising.
"I read about them in Magical History books. It is quite suspicious, your dad may be right, maybe the Minister may be hiding all information's. But why?" agreed Hermione.
"Do you think Usagi knows more about the senshi?" asked Ginny in a small voice.
"Dunno, from what Harry said she seemed to know pretty much," said Ron shrugging his shoulders.
Harry stayed silent, 'what is Usagi's connection to the Sailor senshi? Is it possible that she might know them? Is it possible that I can find the courage to ask her out?' he thought. He mentally groaned as he remembered that he promised to ask her out.
As if on cue the fireplace started to flare back to life. They all turned to see who would be coming out this time. There was a feminine outline in the blazing fire, she stepped out and out came a coughing Usagi carrying several oddly shaped boxes. She placed them on the ground and started to dust off her pink shirt and blue skirt. Mumbling something about soot and dirty grates. Finally after a long while she was able to dust herself off. She then noticed them staring at her. She smiled brightly at them as a greeting.
"Hey! I didn't see you guys there! Actually I didn't see you guys for the whole morning!" said Usagi. She turned towards one of the Inn's waitresses and asked, "Could you call Emory Casey? Tell him I have got all his ingredience." The small woman nodded and scampered towards the kitchens. "Oh yah! Kindly tell Uncle that the fireplace needs cleaning! It's like a soot farm in there!" she added shouting towards the little waitress. Usagi sighed and walked towards her friends and took a seat next to, no one else but Harry. She felt very tired, all morning she was at the Wizarding Market Place buying the things Emory needed.
"So where were you?" asked Hermione as she saw some boxes that moved and bagged up against their lids. She jumped back in surprise when one of the boxes jumped up into the air and landed back on the ground with a loud thud. It began to jump around furiously up and down.
Usagi frowned lightly at the small box, she picked it up and placed one of their heavy books on top of it to stop it from jumping around. "At Tengu Alley, by Market Place. You wouldn't believe how many weird people you can meet there. You should be careful or else someone might put a hex on you if you don't agree with their prices." She said shaking her head at the thought how people can be so violent.
"What is in the box?" asked Ron curiously, poking it with his finger. The box trembled und the huge book.
Usagi shrugged, "Frog Legs, they keep on jumping. Don't know why, I guess their magical frog legs."
Ron immediately removed his finger at the thought that inside of the box were a bunch of legs of frogs jumping up and down. Ginny made a loud Ewww sound and scrunched up her nose. Just then a tall, fat man came waltzing in. he wore one of the traditional huge chef hats but the color was not white but instead orange. He also the traditional chef shirt and pants, but there were lots of different colors of stains on it that it was unrecognizable that it was once white. He looked about the same age as Uncle Sam and had a black thin mustache. He smiled happily when he saw all the packages on the floor.
"Ah! Yes! You have gotten all what I wanted! Very good, very good indeed!" exclaimed Emory. He hastily picked up all the packages and retrieved the one full of frog legs before disappearing back into the kitchen happily.
"A thank you would have been nice!" grumbled loudly as she stared at the swinging doors of the kitchen that Emory had disappeared to.
"Who was that?" asked Harry curiously, he turned to Usagi. All of them didn't know yet everyone of the Inn.
"That was Emory, the Chef. He's a friend of my Uncle. He is dressed like French chef because it's his dream to become a world famous wizard chef. But he usually fails often. He's a great cook, but he does some weird experiments that usually end up with someone sick." Answered Usagi. She stood up and looked at them, "Sorry guys but I still have work to do, I'll see you later on." She then walked towards the receptionist desk and took her place there.
"So why didn't you ask her out yet?!" exclaimed Ron quirking an eyebrow at Harry.
"Not now! With all of you here! I don't think so! Maybe alter on, after dinner!" said Harry blushing crimson.
~After Dinner~
Usagi sat behind the receptionist desk reading her Arithmacy book and occasionally scribbling down some answers on a piece of parchment. She just finished dinner and she suspected something was going to happen but she didn't know what. She placed down her quill and thought about Harry. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks luckily no one was around to see it. Most of the guest have already turned in. the only ones in the room were Harry who sat by the fireplace reading and some other guest. Hermione, Ginny and Ron have already disappeared to their rooms. Her Uncle was busy in the kitchen discussing something with Emory, who blew up another pot. She her gaze fixed towards Harry and wondered what he is still doing down here. She and Harry have become awfully close to each other. It was like Harry made something different in her. A new feeling aroused inside of her every time she would be near to Harry. But in truth she really enjoyed this new feeling, it was a feeling she never felt with Mamo-baka. She didn't forget the incident that happened between her and Harry. The one she saw him naked. Usagi blushed crimson at just the thought of it. Harry made her feel so different; the times that they spent together in the gardens are irreplaceable experiences. He made her laugh again, smile and make her feel better of the pains she had endured. It maybe because both of them know what it feel like to have no parents anymore. both of them share the pain of loosing someone you love. Harry made her feel.and indescribable feeling. Usagi had a dreamy look on her face a smile played on her lips and a blush crept on her cheeks. 'What would it be like to kiss him?' she thought. She snapped out of her thought when she realized of what she was thinking. A blush crept on her cheeks and she looked down on the parchment she was writing on, only to see what she had just written:
Harry Potter + Usagi Tsukino (cased in a heart)
Usagi blushed in realization as she saw what she scribbled on her parchment while she was 'dreaming about Harry'. She noticed that there were more of those hearts all over the parchment. Sighing in frustration she stared down at the parchment, 'what is this? An obsession or something? Do I like this guy?!' she thought. She kept on rereading those two names over and over again. She suddenly noticed that someone was watching her, looking up she saw Harry slowly walking towards her. In fear that he might see what she had been writing she stuffed the heart covered under her heavy Arithmacy book. After composing herself and making sure that the parchment was safely tucked under the book she looked up and only to meet Harry's emerald green eyes burn into her own blue eyes. He was standing infront of the desk and luckily he hadn't noticed the parchment at all.
Usagi managed to get a control of herself and offer Harry a smile. She wondered what Harry wanted from her. "Hey, what's up?" she asked trying to hide her anxiety.
Harry cleared his throat loudly and tried to put his mind at ease. 'Okay now, just ask her. It's simple and easy!' he ordered himself. Trying hard not to blush he stared at into Usagi's innocent blue eyes. "Well I was wondering, Ummm.wondering if.if." he hesitated, 'What if she rejects? What if she's like Cho, reject me?' Harry thought remembering Cho and how she just rejected him. 'No, she's not like that. Go on ask her!' answered his logical side of the brain.
Usagi cocked her head a bit and starred at Harry confused. She blinked a couple of times and starred into Harry's green eyes. 'What's he up to?' she thought confused. "Well? What were you going to say?" Usagi asked. She smiled mischievously at him and placed her chin in her hand and propped her elbow on the counter supporting her head. "I am getting quite curious here," she added smiling at him.
Harry shifted his weight from one foot to another. 'This is getting hard,' he thought while starring into Usagi's eyes. Heaving a big sigh and mustering up all his courage. "I wondering.if.if.you were interested.in.in.going.out with me." Harry mentally sighed in relief, 'There I said it, that wasn't so hard.' Harry thought triumphantly. He expectantly waited for an answer from Usagi.
Usagi couldn't believe her ears. She lifted her head from her hand and looked at Harry with much surprise. 'Is he asking me out? Like on a date?' she thought not believing what she just heard. She felt mixed emotions inside her grow. She couldn't help but blush at his question, when she looked into Harry's eyes she could see that he is expecting an answer. Giving him a shy smile with an addition of a blush she said, "Are you asking me out on a Date?"
Harry couldn't help but blush this time. His shyness getting the better of him yet again. "I.I.yeah.I am.so do you want to?" he asked again. He really hoped that she would accept.
Usagi smiled, "Sure, I'd love to," she said.
"So then, tomorrow?" asked Harry uncertainly. He never went out on a date like this before so he didn't know what to do. And to add it all up, he was so happy that Usagi agreed.
"Tomorrow," chorused Usagi nodded her head in agreement. She enjoyed it very much to see Harry all shy and squirmy. 'Cute,' she thought.
"Around 6 then?" asked Harry again. 'I cant believe this! I am finally asking her out,' he thought happily.
Usagi was surprised that he already set a time. She laughed lightly, shrugging her shoulders, "Sure, 6 it is."
Harry nodded not knowing what else to say, "Okay then, see you tomorrow," Harry said.
"Yeah, I am looking forward to our 'Date,'" said Usagi gazing into Harry emerald green eyes.
~Next Day~
It was a Saturday late afternoon, and Usagi was standing infront of her mirror looking skeptically at herself. She wore a simple pink halter-top and a black leather skirt that stopped 3 inches above the knee. Her hair was done in a high ponytail with a few strands of hair falling out around her face. Bending down she placed on her other sandal. Again she stood up and stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror.
"Beautiful as always Hime!" crowed the mirror enchantingly.
Usagi smiled lightly, "Thank you, but don't call me Hime. People might hear you," She scolded the mirror lightly wagging a finger at it. She turned to her enchanted wall clock. '5:45 pm' it read.
'Still early,' Usagi thought as she sat down at the foot of her bed and started to think over what had happened in less than 24 hours. She still couldn't believe that Harry had asked her out on a Date. 'Does that mean that he has some feelings towards me?' considered Usagi. 'We did become close, after what happened.' Usagi blushed when she remembered the bathroom ordeal. 'Maybe he doesn't consider it as a date. Maybe just like get together or something. Date is a strong word.' trailed of Usagi as she starred of in space. Her heart was going a mile a minute, in a few moments she would all alone with the Famous Harry Potter. 'He's famous for almost killing Voldemort and I am.not famous for saving the world countless times. Now that is really something that we both have in common.' She thought wryly. The door of her bedroom creaked open and her two Moon cats entered her room.
"You look lovely!" exclaimed Luna happily as she jumped onto Usagi's bed.
Artemis nodded in agreement, "Harry will be really impressed!"
"You and Harry would make such a fine couple," said Luna getting a dreamy look in her eyes and starred far away into space.
Usagi blushed and hit Luna on the head. "Don't get any ideas, we are just friends," she said in defense.
Simultaneously both Luna and Artemis rolled their eyes and shouted, "Yeah right," it was very clear that a certain attraction was going between Harry and Usagi.
"Well then, we will see you after your 'Friendly Date' then. Have fun." Said Luna, as both of them strolled out of Usagi's room.
Usagi rolled her eyes, and turned towards the mirror. She could still see s tinge of blush on her cheeks. 'Does Harry have feeling towards me? What kind of feeling? What are my feelings?' she thought. Emotions were running wild inside of her. So many different emotions that she had never experienced before when she was with Mamoru. 'Our love was out of duty nothing more.' she answered her question. Another smile graced her face when she looked out the window, 'Me and Harry.'
~Harry and Ron's room~
Harry starred uneasily at the wall clock of their room. '5:45 pm' it read. Harry sighed loudly, just a few more minutes before he would be with Usagi. The only problem is, he doesn't know how to act around her on a date. 'Just be yourself,' he repeated Hermiones' words in his mind. He looked into the small mirror hanging on the wall and tried vainly to make his hair right but he failed miserably. He wore a pair of black baggy pants and an emerald green shirt.
"Okay now when you two get back, you need to tell us everything!" said Ron excitedly from where he, Hermione and Ginny were seated by their beds.
"I don't know." said Harry uncertainly turning towards them. He was wondering what Usagi was feeling towards him right now. If she felt the same way he felt. An indescribable feeling. Many unknown emotions were inside of him, just because this is the first time since he had ever felt so strongly towards a girl.
"Ahhh! But we wanna know!" protested Ginny loudly. "All the juicy stuff. Like if you guys kiss." Ginny trailed of when her face got connected with a pillow thrown by Ron.
"Ginny! Watch your mouth!" scolded Ron.
Harry's eye grew wide when he heard that comment from Ginny. 'That's likely not going to happen.' He mentally said. A blush crept on his cheeks when he thought about it even more.
Hermione laughed and patted Harry on the shoulder, "Just be yourself that's all. Usagi already likes you the way you are." She said assuring Harry.
Harry thanked Hermione for that advice and told them that he would be going now. 'She already likes me?' he contemplated to himself as he walked out of the room and slowly made his way to the lobby. He felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Ron turned to the two girls grinning broadly, "I bet 5 galleons that the two of them are going to kiss!" he exclaimed loudly.
~Lobby~
Usagi stood by the receptionist desk watching her brother sort through some papers. She feeling a bit nervous, 'What if something goes wrong? What if he doesn't like me? What if he doesn't like what I am wearing.what if he doesn't return my.feelings.' She thought silently.
Shingo looked up from his paper work and saw his sister in distress. 'And sometimes you might think she can be really mature,' he thought wryly. "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine." He said seeming to have read her thoughts. "You and Harry will turn out right," Shingo was very happy that Harry would be taking her out tonight. She really needed a new relationship in her life. That Mamoru was a jerk, Harry would be a great guy for Usagi. Usagi really needed a change in her life and Harry seemed to have done it. He had brightened her life as it was down and low.
Usagi smiled at Shingo for his assuring words. "I never expected that from you, but heck, everything is different. What would I do with out you? Ne?" she said smiling a ther brother. Even though he can be a pain, Usagi loved him dearly even though mostly both of them would be fighting.
Shingo grinned when he saw who was approaching them. "I guess your dates' here." he said looking at Usagi grinning he slowly walked away from the desk to leave the two of them alone for a while.
Usagi whirled around to come face to face with Harry. A blush crept on her cheeks when she noted how handsome he looked. 'Now stay calm, calm.He looks Hot!' she mentally shouted. She smiled shyly at Harry.
Harry gaped at Usagi, tonight she looked really magnificent. What she wore really suited her. He started to blush crimson, 'She looks so beautiful,' he thought as he took in what she was wearing. He returned her shy smile with one of his own.
"So, I guess we should get going now," said Harry while offering Usagi his arm. "Shall we?" he asked playfully.
Usagi giggled and slipped her arm under his. "We shall," she said.
Slowly both of them walked out the Inn and were walking outside side by side in the almost dark night.
Shingo looked at the door where Harry and Usagi just went out and smiled. 'I hope you will be happy, nee-san. You deserve happiness.' He thought silently before going back to work.
~Outside~
Usagi felt quite comfortable with her position next to Harry. It felt warm and comforting. Something she hand t felt for a long time since her parents died. She smiled when she placed her head on Harry's shoulder and hugged his arm even more. 'I like this new feeling,' she decided finally.
Harry blushed when felt Usagi hugging his arm tighter and when her head rested upon his shoulder. Somehow he really enjoyed her closeness, it amazed him how perfectly well they fit to each other. His insides were all at a jumble, emotions were running haywire, his heart was going a mile a minute. But somehow he welcomed this new feeling, enjoying it every moment. Harry smiled into the night, 'This is going to be great,' he thought happily.
Usagi lifted her head lightly and looked up to Harry's smiling face. She realized something, where are they going? Harry was leading her to somewhere she had no idea about.
"So, may u have an idea where are we going?" she asked still looking up at Harry's face as he continued to look straight ahead.
"You think I don't know my way around here do you?" he asked playfully he turned to face her and looked her into the eye a mysterious twinkle was evident. He smirked when Usagi blushed, "Me and the others found a nice place back at Tengu Alley. It's really nice, that's where we are going." He added.
Usagi nodded, "So may I know the name of that Nice Place?" she asked her curiosity getting the best of her.
Harry chuckled as they continued walking into the darkness, "Nope," he answered playfully when they stopped infront of a dead end. He took out his wand and tapped some of the bricks. While in his stay at Japan, he and the others have already learned many different places and how to enter Tengu Alley. Magically a passage way appeared.
Usagi pouted lightly and let go of Harry's arm and crossed her arms. "You are no fun," she tried to pout, so far she really enjoyed Harry's company.
Harry laughed and followed Usagi into Tengu Alley, Usagi could be so childish at times but that's why he liked her so much. He enjoyed her company very much. 'So this is what it feels to like somebody?' he thought after catching up with Usagi.
"What do you mean 'No fun'? It's a surprise, if I am going to tell you where we are going then it would spoil the surprise." He said in defense. He missed Usagi's closeness since she was no longer attached to him by the arm. Unconsciously his arm went up and went around Usagi's shoulders pulling both of them back together closer than ever.
Usagi blushed at Harry's sudden movement. She bit her lip and thought about her feelings towards the boy. 'It is so strange, at first I am forced to love someone. I know that I had a future with someone. I had no choice to choose but everything vanished, my future, my friends, my family and the man I was forced to love. The man that destiny thought was the 'right guy' for me. And now, I have the right to choose, I don't know my future anymore. I can find my true love without the meddling hands of destiny playing their part. It's so weird, for the first time in my life I have the right to choose what my future may hold. I feel so free.Harry made such a difference in my life.' Sighing happily she snuggled closer to Harry's embrace.
It was already dark, the sun had already set. Multi colored light adorned the streets of Tengu alley. There weren't many people left around. Just the usual group of people passing by either going home or getting a bite to eat. The two of them passed many brightly lit shops. Occasionally stopping and looking through the display window. The two of them shared a couple of laughs, it was evident that they are really compatible for each other. Sometimes they would steal glances from the other with out the other knowing. Yet still their feelings were still unknown.
"This is it?" asked Usagi in disbelief as she starred up at a fairly big building. A sign above it read, "Moonlight Romance". Couples of wizards and witches either entered or left the building. It looked like mixture of restaurant and dance club. Usagi smiled brightly, this was the first time she had ever seen this place.
"Yeah, you like it? It's really a great place," Harry smiling brightly down at Usagi. He started to lead her into the building when Usagi stopped him. He turned to her and looked at her quizzically. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"What if they recognize you?" she asked uncertainly.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked not understanding what she was getting at.
Usagi rolled her eyes, with a finger she poked his forehead and touched his scar. "You are known for that scar of yours." She said while her finger was still on his scar. "What if someone recognizes you and it might start some ruckus. Our date will be ruined." She added dramatically removing her finger and acting looking distressed.
"Oh, I haven't thought about that," said Harry sheepishly.
Usagi shrugged, "I know that. You men wouldn't think about everything. Luckily I came prepared," she said while giving Harry a mischievous smile. She placed her hand into her handbag and started to look for something. After a while she retrieved whatever she was looking for in the depth of her handbag and held it up triumphantly for Harry's view.
"A bandage?" he asked as he eyed the small brown plastic band-aid in Usagi's hand. He sort of had an idea what Usagi was getting to and he didn't like it.
Usagi nodded, she took of the cover of the bandage. Leaning forward she reached up and brushed away a few strands of hair from Harry's forehead. She blushed slightly at how close face-to-face they were. And then very slowly she covered his scar with the bandage. Usagi moved away and smiled triumphantly at her handiwork.
"See, that wasn't so bad!" she said happily linking arms with Harry.
Harry sighed and fingered the bandage on his forehead. "Well, you aren't the one with a bandage on your head. People might think I tripped and fell on my head," he mumbled as the two of them walked inside the "Moonlight Romance".
~Inside the "Moonlight Romance"~
Multi-colored lights were everywhere. Soft music was magically everywhere. There were various teen witches and wizards everywhere, somewhere wearing muggle clothing while others wore the usual robes. Evidently this was a very famous place for the teens and couples. On one side there was a long bar with a single bartender attending it. Next to it were loads of tables and chairs everywhere. Somewhere secluded, far from the other tables, those are for the couples and other tables were right next to the dance floor. The Club wasn't packed at all. There were some people dancing on the dance floor, others were eating at the tables or talking at the bar.
Usagi smiled brightly, this place was great. She enjoyed every single minute of it. Somehow this felt like old times to her. She took in the different sights and sounds of the place. 'It's funny, you'd think that I am new around here and Harry is the one who knows his way around Japan,' she thought wryly. She then felt Harry's hand grab her own and he started to lead her towards the tables. Usagi blushed lightly at his touch her shyness coming back to her. She studied him while he was leading them to their seats. The lights illuminated him and made him look much more handsomer. Usagi smiled as she continued to stare at him, 'I can choose now, and I choose that I want to be with Harry.' she thought finally.
Harry felt someone's eyes on him and instinctively looked down at Usagi. He noticed that she was looking at him, their eyes meet and Usagi immediately blushed. Harry made a 'what?' notion but Usagi just shook her head and stared straight ahead. While he was leading them to their table Harry took several glances at Usagi. He realized ho beautiful she looked tonight. The lights gave her a soft radiance making her look stunning than ever. Harry smiled secretly, 'Usagi.' was the only thing on his mind.
They finally have gotten a table, by the more private ones. As they sat down a waiter immediately took their orders and hurried off. There was a heavy silence between the two of them neither one of them did not know what else to say. Both of them were sitting opposite of each other and occasionally they would look at one another.
"You know, I didn't tell you how beautiful you look tonight," said Harry breaking the silence. He noted how blue Usagi's eyes were as he looked into them. One could get lost in them due to the many emotions.
Usagi blushed and gave him a small smile. She managed to say a thank you before also getting lost in Harry's eyes. They were in such a beautiful shade of green that she continued to look into his eyes. Finally snapping out of her trance, while blushing, "You don't look bad yourself," she said while leaning back in her soft plush seat trying to get a control of her emotions and feeling towards Harry.
A few minutes later their food arrived, brining the two of them out of their reverie. The two of them thanked the waiter and began eating their meal in silence occasionally doing some small talk. After finishing eating and their plates were cleared, again the two of them were found in complete silence not knowing what else to say.
Usagi then got a bright idea, and grinned at Harry who in turn looked at her quizzically. "Let's dance," she said suddenly smiling brightly at him.
Harry looked surprised at what she said. "I don't know, I am not a great dancer." He said in defense. He cast a glance towards the dance floor, there weren't many people dancing so it meant that he could make a fool out of himself right infront of everybody.
Usagi shrugged and stood up, grabbing his hand she pulled him up from his seat. "No problem, I'll teach you," with that she lead him to the dance floor.
Once on the dance floor Usagi thought him the basics. How to move to the beat and how not to make a fool out of ones self. Pretty soon Harry got the hang of it and the two of them were dancing to the steady beat of the music.
Again the music changed and this time it was a slow song 'I wanna be with you'. The two of them looked at each other uncertainly and blushing like crazy before very slowly getting closer. Usagi placed her arms around Harry's neck and leaned into his shoulder and closing her eyes. She sighed contently, she enjoyed his warmth and his body close to hers. It felt like that nothing was in between them at all. Harry placed his hands around Usagi's waste pulling her closer to him. He then placed his head on top of hers. His feelings towards Usagi reached its peak. Like there was no turning back now, it was just him and her.

After the song had ended both of them stopped dancing and looked into each other's eyes. The same emotions were evident in their eyes. Both of them stared into each other's what felt like eternity. As if in their eyes was the answer to their searching. The answer to all their problems and pains. And then very slowly their lips touched. An explosion of emotions and feelings went up inside the both of them. As their lips yearned for more, their kiss grew passion. Their countless search for love has been done, their answers have been found. Both of them were in love, it was just Usagi and Harry. They didn't care of the people around them. They were caught up in their own world. Two souls have found peace.

"It's a Date!"
Days have past since the embarrassing ordeal with Harry and Usagi in the bathroom. But somehow this had brought the two of them closer. If Harry wasn't found with Hermione and Ron, he would be found in the back of the Magic Room's vast gardens talking and laughing with Usagi on her free time. The same would go for Ginny and Shingo, but the two of them have officially started dating. Hermione and Ron have already gotten very close to each other. It was just Harry now, but soon the time will come for him too. And that time will come.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Shingo were all sitting together under one of the huge cherry blossom trees in the gardens of the magic room. They just came back from lunch at the arcade and were resting and relaxing. Usagi couldn't be with them today since she had work to do, with much of the displeasure of Harry.
Harry seemed to have gotten very close with the Moon Princess. Both of them were often seen talking in the gardens laughing and talking. Harry still hasn't forgotten what had happened days before. But somehow that ordeal had brought them closer, as if it were meant to happen. Sighing loudly, with his thoughts drifting him away he leaned hi head against the huge cherry blossom tree.
"So," Shingo began, who was sitting next to Ginny. He turned to Harry with a grin on his face. "You seem to be awfully close with my sister." He finished, he grinned in satisfaction when he received a blush from the world famous boy who lived.
Harry's eyes grew in surprise; he never expected to hear that kind of question. He started to blush crimson when all eyes were focused on him. He noticed Ron was laughing in satisfaction. "I.I.guess." he stammered. He noticed that both Hermione and Ginny were giggling like two teen-age girls, 'Which they are.' he thought. Ron just raised an eyebrow and had a sly smirk on his face. And Shingo just looked very pleased.
Ron turned to Harry, "Then ask her out!" he said a huge grin was plastered on his face. Hermione and Ginny stopped giggling and started to nod furiously. Shingo nodded in agreement.
Harry blushed even harder. He waved his arms defensively, "I really don't think so, I don't think she's interested." He said with a hint of disappointment.
Hermione laughed at his answer. "The way you two are always talking and laughing together. I say you should ask her out, you'll be surprised by her answer." She said encouragingly.
"And the way you two are mostly together, people might already think you two are a couple!" added Ginny, laughing when Harry blushed.
'Maybe they are right; maybe I should ask her out sometime. It'll be fun.' Harry thought. He blushed slightly at the idea that he and Usagi would be 'together'.
"You know," began Shingo after the laughing and talking had settled down. "I have never seen Usagi so happy before. She used to be so carefree and happy. Usually she was the one who always would make people happy and get their spirits up when they are down, but now she is the one who always need someone get her to smile and laugh. After our parents' death, she changed so much. She wasn't as carefree anymore. Lots of things had happened to her after out parents died. Her friends deserted her for some reasons. She broke up with her ex-boyfriend mamoru, because he wished to go back to America to study but at time she needed some comfort but never got it. Later on she blamed herself of our parents death. It wasn't very often you would see Usagi smile a true smile or laugh heartily with no problems ahead. But you know what Harry?" Shingo turned to Harry; he gave him a sad yet happy smile. Everyone listened to what Shingo had to say next, they were quite amazed at what Usagi had gone through. "You made a difference. All of you did. When we got to know you, seemed like old times for Usagi. Having friends that were surrounding you constantly. It was like Usagi was back to normal somehow. You Harry have such a great affect on her. I have noticed that every time that you are with her, she would be like her normal self. Laughing and smiling like the old Usagi. A certain radiance of happiness that was always around her before was back again. You made a difference." Finished Shingo, he couldn't believe what he had just said. But somehow he felt relieved to finally tell some people what is happening.
Everyone stayed silent for a while and tried to absorb what Shingo had just told them. Especially Harry tried hard to absorb it, he didn't know he had such and affect on Usagi. 'Me? I did that? But, how could I? Does she feel the same way that I feel? But what do I feel?' he thought as he stayed silent. Came back to reality when he heard Hermione asked Shingo another question.
"I hope you don't mind me asking but how could she blame herself of the death of your parents? What happened?" asked Hermione curiously.
Shingo looked away, that question he could never answer. He couldn't tell them about the fight that happened here many months ago. "I can't tell you. It's sort off personal." He answered in a far away sort of voice.
Harry knew exactly how both of them felt but how could Usagi blame herself of the death of her parents? What happened? He sighed loudly he would never know. 'So am I going to ask her out?' he asked himself.
"So are you going to ask her out?" asked Ron again trying to change the subject. He wiggled his eyebrows at Harry and nodded furiously.
"I.I.guess.yeah.I will," answered Harry finally. Nodding his head in approval. 'If I am the one who changed her, then it means that she does feel something towards me. But what do I feel?' he thought.
"So, where IS Usagi by the way?" asked Ginny suddenly with realization. They hadn't seen Usagi the whole day at the inn. And Usagi needed to be there for Harry to ask her out.
"She is at Tengu Alley, shopping. Buying some things for the chef Emory. Who knows what Emory wants." Said Shingo shrugging his shoulders. Emory was known for his unknown and bizarre recepies. And also known for mostly blowing up the kitchen. Shingo sweatdropped when he remembered the time Emory blew up the kitchen when he added too much bat blood to the Unknown food he was concocting.
"We should probably get inside," suggested Ron, he looked up at the sky. "It's probably going to rain. Besides Harry needs to ask Usagi out when she arrives!" he added slapping Harry on the back happily.
When the arrived back inside the Inn, they saw Mr. And Mrs. Weasley come out of the fireplace. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny hurried towards them. Shingo had in the mean while excused himself and went to look for his Uncle to get back to his work.
"You are back early," commented Ron surprised to see his parents back from the Ministry do early. All of them took their seats by the fireplace.
Mr. Weasley sighed in frustration and started rub his temples. "All I can say is that, this is useless!" he exclaimed loudly. Catching the attention of some people.
Mrs. Weasley smiled warmly at the kids before turning back to her husband. "Now dear, I am sure that we will find out more really soon. Don't worry." She patted Mr. Weasley lightly on the arm before turning back to the children.
"So did you find anything new?" asked Ginny excitedly.
"Nothing, nothing at all! It seems like no one bothered to write anything about these Sailor Senshi! There are no books, no newspaper clippings. No nothing at all! All we know is what everyone else knows about them! I believe that minister is hiding something!" said Mr. Weasley sternly.
"I must say that you may be right on that one Arthur. Mr. Kurosawa, seemed very reluctant to tell us anything at all." Said Mrs. Weasley.
"I think I am going to bed now, I am very tired." Said Mr. Weasley slowly. He stood up and walked towards their rooms. Mrs. Weasley just shrugged and followed Mr. Weasley up the stairs since she was also very tired from all that researching.
"Isn't it a bit early to take a nap?" said Hermione looking at Ron.
Ron just shrugged, "They are all probably very tired from all the work. They deserve some rest."
"It's kinda weird you know, this is the place where the Sailor Senshi live but there are no news paper articles or anything about them in books here at all. But how come they are written in some books back at Hogwarts?" wondered Harry, his suspicions rising.
"I read about them in Magical History books. It is quite suspicious, your dad may be right, maybe the Minister may be hiding all information's. But why?" agreed Hermione.
"Do you think Usagi knows more about the senshi?" asked Ginny in a small voice.
"Dunno, from what Harry said she seemed to know pretty much," said Ron shrugging his shoulders.
Harry stayed silent, 'what is Usagi's connection to the Sailor senshi? Is it possible that she might know them? Is it possible that I can find the courage to ask her out?' he thought. He mentally groaned as he remembered that he promised to ask her out.
As if on cue the fireplace started to flare back to life. They all turned to see who would be coming out this time. There was a feminine outline in the blazing fire, she stepped out and out came a coughing Usagi carrying several oddly shaped boxes. She placed them on the ground and started to dust off her pink shirt and blue skirt. Mumbling something about soot and dirty grates. Finally after a long while she was able to dust herself off. She then noticed them staring at her. She smiled brightly at them as a greeting.
"Hey! I didn't see you guys there! Actually I didn't see you guys for the whole morning!" said Usagi. She turned towards one of the Inn's waitresses and asked, "Could you call Emory Casey? Tell him I have got all his ingredience." The small woman nodded and scampered towards the kitchens. "Oh yah! Kindly tell Uncle that the fireplace needs cleaning! It's like a soot farm in there!" she added shouting towards the little waitress. Usagi sighed and walked towards her friends and took a seat next to, no one else but Harry. She felt very tired, all morning she was at the Wizarding Market Place buying the things Emory needed.
"So where were you?" asked Hermione as she saw some boxes that moved and bagged up against their lids. She jumped back in surprise when one of the boxes jumped up into the air and landed back on the ground with a loud thud. It began to jump around furiously up and down.
Usagi frowned lightly at the small box, she picked it up and placed one of their heavy books on top of it to stop it from jumping around. "At Tengu Alley, by Market Place. You wouldn't believe how many weird people you can meet there. You should be careful or else someone might put a hex on you if you don't agree with their prices." She said shaking her head at the thought how people can be so violent.
"What is in the box?" asked Ron curiously, poking it with his finger. The box trembled und the huge book.
Usagi shrugged, "Frog Legs, they keep on jumping. Don't know why, I guess their magical frog legs."
Ron immediately removed his finger at the thought that inside of the box were a bunch of legs of frogs jumping up and down. Ginny made a loud Ewww sound and scrunched up her nose. Just then a tall, fat man came waltzing in. he wore one of the traditional huge chef hats but the color was not white but instead orange. He also the traditional chef shirt and pants, but there were lots of different colors of stains on it that it was unrecognizable that it was once white. He looked about the same age as Uncle Sam and had a black thin mustache. He smiled happily when he saw all the packages on the floor.
"Ah! Yes! You have gotten all what I wanted! Very good, very good indeed!" exclaimed Emory. He hastily picked up all the packages and retrieved the one full of frog legs before disappearing back into the kitchen happily.
"A thank you would have been nice!" grumbled loudly as she stared at the swinging doors of the kitchen that Emory had disappeared to.
"Who was that?" asked Harry curiously, he turned to Usagi. All of them didn't know yet everyone of the Inn.
"That was Emory, the Chef. He's a friend of my Uncle. He is dressed like French chef because it's his dream to become a world famous wizard chef. But he usually fails often. He's a great cook, but he does some weird experiments that usually end up with someone sick." Answered Usagi. She stood up and looked at them, "Sorry guys but I still have work to do, I'll see you later on." She then walked towards the receptionist desk and took her place there.
"So why didn't you ask her out yet?!" exclaimed Ron quirking an eyebrow at Harry.
"Not now! With all of you here! I don't think so! Maybe alter on, after dinner!" said Harry blushing crimson.
~After Dinner~
Usagi sat behind the receptionist desk reading her Arithmacy book and occasionally scribbling down some answers on a piece of parchment. She just finished dinner and she suspected something was going to happen but she didn't know what. She placed down her quill and thought about Harry. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks luckily no one was around to see it. Most of the guest have already turned in. the only ones in the room were Harry who sat by the fireplace reading and some other guest. Hermione, Ginny and Ron have already disappeared to their rooms. Her Uncle was busy in the kitchen discussing something with Emory, who blew up another pot. She her gaze fixed towards Harry and wondered what he is still doing down here. She and Harry have become awfully close to each other. It was like Harry made something different in her. A new feeling aroused inside of her every time she would be near to Harry. But in truth she really enjoyed this new feeling, it was a feeling she never felt with Mamo-baka. She didn't forget the incident that happened between her and Harry. The one she saw him naked. Usagi blushed crimson at just the thought of it. Harry made her feel so different; the times that they spent together in the gardens are irreplaceable experiences. He made her laugh again, smile and make her feel better of the pains she had endured. It maybe because both of them know what it feel like to have no parents anymore. both of them share the pain of loosing someone you love. Harry made her feel.and indescribable feeling. Usagi had a dreamy look on her face a smile played on her lips and a blush crept on her cheeks. 'What would it be like to kiss him?' she thought. She snapped out of her thought when she realized of what she was thinking. A blush crept on her cheeks and she looked down on the parchment she was writing on, only to see what she had just written:
Harry Potter + Usagi Tsukino (cased in a heart)
Usagi blushed in realization as she saw what she scribbled on her parchment while she was 'dreaming about Harry'. She noticed that there were more of those hearts all over the parchment. Sighing in frustration she stared down at the parchment, 'what is this? An obsession or something? Do I like this guy?!' she thought. She kept on rereading those two names over and over again. She suddenly noticed that someone was watching her, looking up she saw Harry slowly walking towards her. In fear that he might see what she had been writing she stuffed the heart covered under her heavy Arithmacy book. After composing herself and making sure that the parchment was safely tucked under the book she looked up and only to meet Harry's emerald green eyes burn into her own blue eyes. He was standing infront of the desk and luckily he hadn't noticed the parchment at all.
Usagi managed to get a control of herself and offer Harry a smile. She wondered what Harry wanted from her. "Hey, what's up?" she asked trying to hide her anxiety.
Harry cleared his throat loudly and tried to put his mind at ease. 'Okay now, just ask her. It's simple and easy!' he ordered himself. Trying hard not to blush he stared at into Usagi's innocent blue eyes. "Well I was wondering, Ummm.wondering if.if." he hesitated, 'What if she rejects? What if she's like Cho, reject me?' Harry thought remembering Cho and how she just rejected him. 'No, she's not like that. Go on ask her!' answered his logical side of the brain.
Usagi cocked her head a bit and starred at Harry confused. She blinked a couple of times and starred into Harry's green eyes. 'What's he up to?' she thought confused. "Well? What were you going to say?" Usagi asked. She smiled mischievously at him and placed her chin in her hand and propped her elbow on the counter supporting her head. "I am getting quite curious here," she added smiling at him.
Harry shifted his weight from one foot to another. 'This is getting hard,' he thought while starring into Usagi's eyes. Heaving a big sigh and mustering up all his courage. "I wondering.if.if.you were interested.in.in.going.out with me." Harry mentally sighed in relief, 'There I said it, that wasn't so hard.' Harry thought triumphantly. He expectantly waited for an answer from Usagi.
Usagi couldn't believe her ears. She lifted her head from her hand and looked at Harry with much surprise. 'Is he asking me out? Like on a date?' she thought not believing what she just heard. She felt mixed emotions inside her grow. She couldn't help but blush at his question, when she looked into Harry's eyes she could see that he is expecting an answer. Giving him a shy smile with an addition of a blush she said, "Are you asking me out on a Date?"
Harry couldn't help but blush this time. His shyness getting the better of him yet again. "I.I.yeah.I am.so do you want to?" he asked again. He really hoped that she would accept.
Usagi smiled, "Sure, I'd love to," she said.
"So then, tomorrow?" asked Harry uncertainly. He never went out on a date like this before so he didn't know what to do. And to add it all up, he was so happy that Usagi agreed.
"Tomorrow," chorused Usagi nodded her head in agreement. She enjoyed it very much to see Harry all shy and squirmy. 'Cute,' she thought.
"Around 6 then?" asked Harry again. 'I cant believe this! I am finally asking her out,' he thought happily.
Usagi was surprised that he already set a time. She laughed lightly, shrugging her shoulders, "Sure, 6 it is."
Harry nodded not knowing what else to say, "Okay then, see you tomorrow," Harry said.
"Yeah, I am looking forward to our 'Date,'" said Usagi gazing into Harry emerald green eyes.
~Next Day~
It was a Saturday late afternoon, and Usagi was standing infront of her mirror looking skeptically at herself. She wore a simple pink halter-top and a black leather skirt that stopped 3 inches above the knee. Her hair was done in a high ponytail with a few strands of hair falling out around her face. Bending down she placed on her other sandal. Again she stood up and stared at her reflection in the full-length mirror.
"Beautiful as always Hime!" crowed the mirror enchantingly.
Usagi smiled lightly, "Thank you, but don't call me Hime. People might hear you," She scolded the mirror lightly wagging a finger at it. She turned to her enchanted wall clock. '5:45 pm' it read.
'Still early,' Usagi thought as she sat down at the foot of her bed and started to think over what had happened in less than 24 hours. She still couldn't believe that Harry had asked her out on a Date. 'Does that mean that he has some feelings towards me?' considered Usagi. 'We did become close, after what happened.' Usagi blushed when she remembered the bathroom ordeal. 'Maybe he doesn't consider it as a date. Maybe just like get together or something. Date is a strong word.' trailed of Usagi as she starred of in space. Her heart was going a mile a minute, in a few moments she would all alone with the Famous Harry Potter. 'He's famous for almost killing Voldemort and I am.not famous for saving the world countless times. Now that is really something that we both have in common.' She thought wryly. The door of her bedroom creaked open and her two Moon cats entered her room.
"You look lovely!" exclaimed Luna happily as she jumped onto Usagi's bed.
Artemis nodded in agreement, "Harry will be really impressed!"
"You and Harry would make such a fine couple," said Luna getting a dreamy look in her eyes and starred far away into space.
Usagi blushed and hit Luna on the head. "Don't get any ideas, we are just friends," she said in defense.
Simultaneously both Luna and Artemis rolled their eyes and shouted, "Yeah right," it was very clear that a certain attraction was going between Harry and Usagi.
"Well then, we will see you after your 'Friendly Date' then. Have fun." Said Luna, as both of them strolled out of Usagi's room.
Usagi rolled her eyes, and turned towards the mirror. She could still see s tinge of blush on her cheeks. 'Does Harry have feeling towards me? What kind of feeling? What are my feelings?' she thought. Emotions were running wild inside of her. So many different emotions that she had never experienced before when she was with Mamoru. 'Our love was out of duty nothing more.' she answered her question. Another smile graced her face when she looked out the window, 'Me and Harry.'
~Harry and Ron's room~
Harry starred uneasily at the wall clock of their room. '5:45 pm' it read. Harry sighed loudly, just a few more minutes before he would be with Usagi. The only problem is, he doesn't know how to act around her on a date. 'Just be yourself,' he repeated Hermiones' words in his mind. He looked into the small mirror hanging on the wall and tried vainly to make his hair right but he failed miserably. He wore a pair of black baggy pants and an emerald green shirt.
"Okay now when you two get back, you need to tell us everything!" said Ron excitedly from where he, Hermione and Ginny were seated by their beds.
"I don't know." said Harry uncertainly turning towards them. He was wondering what Usagi was feeling towards him right now. If she felt the same way he felt. An indescribable feeling. Many unknown emotions were inside of him, just because this is the first time since he had ever felt so strongly towards a girl.
"Ahhh! But we wanna know!" protested Ginny loudly. "All the juicy stuff. Like if you guys kiss." Ginny trailed of when her face got connected with a pillow thrown by Ron.
"Ginny! Watch your mouth!" scolded Ron.
Harry's eye grew wide when he heard that comment from Ginny. 'That's likely not going to happen.' He mentally said. A blush crept on his cheeks when he thought about it even more.
Hermione laughed and patted Harry on the shoulder, "Just be yourself that's all. Usagi already likes you the way you are." She said assuring Harry.
Harry thanked Hermione for that advice and told them that he would be going now. 'She already likes me?' he contemplated to himself as he walked out of the room and slowly made his way to the lobby. He felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Ron turned to the two girls grinning broadly, "I bet 5 galleons that the two of them are going to kiss!" he exclaimed loudly.
~Lobby~
Usagi stood by the receptionist desk watching her brother sort through some papers. She feeling a bit nervous, 'What if something goes wrong? What if he doesn't like me? What if he doesn't like what I am wearing.what if he doesn't return my.feelings.' She thought silently.
Shingo looked up from his paper work and saw his sister in distress. 'And sometimes you might think she can be really mature,' he thought wryly. "Don't worry, everything is going to be fine." He said seeming to have read her thoughts. "You and Harry will turn out right," Shingo was very happy that Harry would be taking her out tonight. She really needed a new relationship in her life. That Mamoru was a jerk, Harry would be a great guy for Usagi. Usagi really needed a change in her life and Harry seemed to have done it. He had brightened her life as it was down and low.
Usagi smiled at Shingo for his assuring words. "I never expected that from you, but heck, everything is different. What would I do with out you? Ne?" she said smiling a ther brother. Even though he can be a pain, Usagi loved him dearly even though mostly both of them would be fighting.
Shingo grinned when he saw who was approaching them. "I guess your dates' here." he said looking at Usagi grinning he slowly walked away from the desk to leave the two of them alone for a while.
Usagi whirled around to come face to face with Harry. A blush crept on her cheeks when she noted how handsome he looked. 'Now stay calm, calm.He looks Hot!' she mentally shouted. She smiled shyly at Harry.
Harry gaped at Usagi, tonight she looked really magnificent. What she wore really suited her. He started to blush crimson, 'She looks so beautiful,' he thought as he took in what she was wearing. He returned her shy smile with one of his own.
"So, I guess we should get going now," said Harry while offering Usagi his arm. "Shall we?" he asked playfully.
Usagi giggled and slipped her arm under his. "We shall," she said.
Slowly both of them walked out the Inn and were walking outside side by side in the almost dark night.
Shingo looked at the door where Harry and Usagi just went out and smiled. 'I hope you will be happy, nee-san. You deserve happiness.' He thought silently before going back to work.
~Outside~
Usagi felt quite comfortable with her position next to Harry. It felt warm and comforting. Something she hand t felt for a long time since her parents died. She smiled when she placed her head on Harry's shoulder and hugged his arm even more. 'I like this new feeling,' she decided finally.
Harry blushed when felt Usagi hugging his arm tighter and when her head rested upon his shoulder. Somehow he really enjoyed her closeness, it amazed him how perfectly well they fit to each other. His insides were all at a jumble, emotions were running haywire, his heart was going a mile a minute. But somehow he welcomed this new feeling, enjoying it every moment. Harry smiled into the night, 'This is going to be great,' he thought happily.
Usagi lifted her head lightly and looked up to Harry's smiling face. She realized something, where are they going? Harry was leading her to somewhere she had no idea about.
"So, may u have an idea where are we going?" she asked still looking up at Harry's face as he continued to look straight ahead.
"You think I don't know my way around here do you?" he asked playfully he turned to face her and looked her into the eye a mysterious twinkle was evident. He smirked when Usagi blushed, "Me and the others found a nice place back at Tengu Alley. It's really nice, that's where we are going." He added.
Usagi nodded, "So may I know the name of that Nice Place?" she asked her curiosity getting the best of her.
Harry chuckled as they continued walking into the darkness, "Nope," he answered playfully when they stopped infront of a dead end. He took out his wand and tapped some of the bricks. While in his stay at Japan, he and the others have already learned many different places and how to enter Tengu Alley. Magically a passage way appeared.
Usagi pouted lightly and let go of Harry's arm and crossed her arms. "You are no fun," she tried to pout, so far she really enjoyed Harry's company.
Harry laughed and followed Usagi into Tengu Alley, Usagi could be so childish at times but that's why he liked her so much. He enjoyed her company very much. 'So this is what it feels to like somebody?' he thought after catching up with Usagi.
"What do you mean 'No fun'? It's a surprise, if I am going to tell you where we are going then it would spoil the surprise." He said in defense. He missed Usagi's closeness since she was no longer attached to him by the arm. Unconsciously his arm went up and went around Usagi's shoulders pulling both of them back together closer than ever.
Usagi blushed at Harry's sudden movement. She bit her lip and thought about her feelings towards the boy. 'It is so strange, at first I am forced to love someone. I know that I had a future with someone. I had no choice to choose but everything vanished, my future, my friends, my family and the man I was forced to love. The man that destiny thought was the 'right guy' for me. And now, I have the right to choose, I don't know my future anymore. I can find my true love without the meddling hands of destiny playing their part. It's so weird, for the first time in my life I have the right to choose what my future may hold. I feel so free.Harry made such a difference in my life.' Sighing happily she snuggled closer to Harry's embrace.
It was already dark, the sun had already set. Multi colored light adorned the streets of Tengu alley. There weren't many people left around. Just the usual group of people passing by either going home or getting a bite to eat. The two of them passed many brightly lit shops. Occasionally stopping and looking through the display window. The two of them shared a couple of laughs, it was evident that they are really compatible for each other. Sometimes they would steal glances from the other with out the other knowing. Yet still their feelings were still unknown.
"This is it?" asked Usagi in disbelief as she starred up at a fairly big building. A sign above it read, "Moonlight Romance". Couples of wizards and witches either entered or left the building. It looked like mixture of restaurant and dance club. Usagi smiled brightly, this was the first time she had ever seen this place.
"Yeah, you like it? It's really a great place," Harry smiling brightly down at Usagi. He started to lead her into the building when Usagi stopped him. He turned to her and looked at her quizzically. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"What if they recognize you?" she asked uncertainly.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked not understanding what she was getting at.
Usagi rolled her eyes, with a finger she poked his forehead and touched his scar. "You are known for that scar of yours." She said while her finger was still on his scar. "What if someone recognizes you and it might start some ruckus. Our date will be ruined." She added dramatically removing her finger and acting looking distressed.
"Oh, I haven't thought about that," said Harry sheepishly.
Usagi shrugged, "I know that. You men wouldn't think about everything. Luckily I came prepared," she said while giving Harry a mischievous smile. She placed her hand into her handbag and started to look for something. After a while she retrieved whatever she was looking for in the depth of her handbag and held it up triumphantly for Harry's view.
"A bandage?" he asked as he eyed the small brown plastic band-aid in Usagi's hand. He sort of had an idea what Usagi was getting to and he didn't like it.
Usagi nodded, she took of the cover of the bandage. Leaning forward she reached up and brushed away a few strands of hair from Harry's forehead. She blushed slightly at how close face-to-face they were. And then very slowly she covered his scar with the bandage. Usagi moved away and smiled triumphantly at her handiwork.
"See, that wasn't so bad!" she said happily linking arms with Harry.
Harry sighed and fingered the bandage on his forehead. "Well, you aren't the one with a bandage on your head. People might think I tripped and fell on my head," he mumbled as the two of them walked inside the "Moonlight Romance".
~Inside the "Moonlight Romance"~
Multi-colored lights were everywhere. Soft music was magically everywhere. There were various teen witches and wizards everywhere, somewhere wearing muggle clothing while others wore the usual robes. Evidently this was a very famous place for the teens and couples. On one side there was a long bar with a single bartender attending it. Next to it were loads of tables and chairs everywhere. Somewhere secluded, far from the other tables, those are for the couples and other tables were right next to the dance floor. The Club wasn't packed at all. There were some people dancing on the dance floor, others were eating at the tables or talking at the bar.
Usagi smiled brightly, this place was great. She enjoyed every single minute of it. Somehow this felt like old times to her. She took in the different sights and sounds of the place. 'It's funny, you'd think that I am new around here and Harry is the one who knows his way around Japan,' she thought wryly. She then felt Harry's hand grab her own and he started to lead her towards the tables. Usagi blushed lightly at his touch her shyness coming back to her. She studied him while he was leading them to their seats. The lights illuminated him and made him look much more handsomer. Usagi smiled as she continued to stare at him, 'I can choose now, and I choose that I want to be with Harry.' she thought finally.
Harry felt someone's eyes on him and instinctively looked down at Usagi. He noticed that she was looking at him, their eyes meet and Usagi immediately blushed. Harry made a 'what?' notion but Usagi just shook her head and stared straight ahead. While he was leading them to their table Harry took several glances at Usagi. He realized ho beautiful she looked tonight. The lights gave her a soft radiance making her look stunning than ever. Harry smiled secretly, 'Usagi.' was the only thing on his mind.
They finally have gotten a table, by the more private ones. As they sat down a waiter immediately took their orders and hurried off. There was a heavy silence between the two of them neither one of them did not know what else to say. Both of them were sitting opposite of each other and occasionally they would look at one another.
"You know, I didn't tell you how beautiful you look tonight," said Harry breaking the silence. He noted how blue Usagi's eyes were as he looked into them. One could get lost in them due to the many emotions.
Usagi blushed and gave him a small smile. She managed to say a thank you before also getting lost in Harry's eyes. They were in such a beautiful shade of green that she continued to look into his eyes. Finally snapping out of her trance, while blushing, "You don't look bad yourself," she said while leaning back in her soft plush seat trying to get a control of her emotions and feeling towards Harry.
A few minutes later their food arrived, brining the two of them out of their reverie. The two of them thanked the waiter and began eating their meal in silence occasionally doing some small talk. After finishing eating and their plates were cleared, again the two of them were found in complete silence not knowing what else to say.
Usagi then got a bright idea, and grinned at Harry who in turn looked at her quizzically. "Let's dance," she said suddenly smiling brightly at him.
Harry looked surprised at what she said. "I don't know, I am not a great dancer." He said in defense. He cast a glance towards the dance floor, there weren't many people dancing so it meant that he could make a fool out of himself right infront of everybody.
Usagi shrugged and stood up, grabbing his hand she pulled him up from his seat. "No problem, I'll teach you," with that she lead him to the dance floor.
Once on the dance floor Usagi thought him the basics. How to move to the beat and how not to make a fool out of ones self. Pretty soon Harry got the hang of it and the two of them were dancing to the steady beat of the music.
Again the music changed and this time it was a slow song 'I wanna be with you'. The two of them looked at each other uncertainly and blushing like crazy before very slowly getting closer. Usagi placed her arms around Harry's neck and leaned into his shoulder and closing her eyes. She sighed contently, she enjoyed his warmth and his body close to hers. It felt like that nothing was in between them at all. Harry placed his hands around Usagi's waste pulling her closer to him. He then placed his head on top of hers. His feelings towards Usagi reached its peak. Like there was no turning back now, it was just him and her.
I try but I can't seem to get myself
To think of anything but you
Your breath on my face
Your warm gentle kiss, I taste the truth

If only for a night
To be the one whose in your arms
Who holds you tight

There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you So I'll hold you tonight
Like I would if you were mine
To hold forever more
And I'll saver each touch that I wanted
So much to feel before (To feel before)
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one whose in your arms
Who holds you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you Oh baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore
It drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name
Take my hand
Make my wish
Baby, your command? Yeah
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
(I wanna be) I wanna be with you (I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you

(I wanna be with you)
I wanna be, I wanna be baby
I wanna be
(I wanna be with you)
I wanna be with you, yeah
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
After the song had ended both of them stopped dancing and looked into each other's eyes. The same emotions were evident in their eyes. Both of them stared into each other's what felt like eternity. As if in their eyes was the answer to their searching. The answer to all their problems and pains. And then very slowly their lips touched. An explosion of emotions and feelings went up inside the both of them. As their lips yearned for more, their kiss grew passion. Their countless search for love has been done, their answers have been found. Both of them were in love, it was just Usagi and Harry. They didn't care of the people around them. They were caught up in their own world. Two souls have found peace.
