Ok a reminder that this is PG-13! Some language not much but still...and FYI(that's For Your
Information not Fushigi Yuugi Information) Usagi is 16 years of age. Yup that means *gasp!*
she's older than Tasuki, Kouji, Chiriko, Miaka, and ummm...I'm not sure how old Tamahome is.
Remember this is after Sailor Stars so I think she should be 17 but I set her back a year.


*************************************************************************************************

Her mouth watered, and she sat on the chair her hands tightly tied behind her back
restricting all movement. She didn't care she told herself. But still...her stomach grumbled.
She closed her eyes and pretended she had lost her sense of smell. But that was just pretend.
She opened her eyes again to lock on to the golden eyes across the table. They grew hard but
before they looked away she could she they were laughing. Receiving no pity from them she turned
to the hazel eyes, but they were busy, focusing their attention to another. Suddenly there was
a tap on her shoe. "If you tell me where that beautiful man went, I'll set you free!" A voice
whispered. Her eyes flickered down, and immediately she realized she shouldn't give the enemy
any knowledge of this help. But it was too late. She looked up in time to see the golden eyes
divert their stare from hers and reach down under the table to drag up her potential savior
with them.

Usagi burst into tears, "GEN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! This is too
cruel...I'm so hungry..."

Kouji's ears perked up, "Gen-chan?"

"Shut up, Kouji," Tasuki warned.

"Gen-chan?" This time several other bandits joined him.

"I said SHUT UP! Hey, at least it's a better name than Usagi!!!" Tasuki started laughing
and the other numerous bandits around him joined in.

"Tasuki, you're mean..." Usagi whimpered. Her eyes were on the floor, so she didn't
notice when Tasuki dropped out of the laughing and stared at her intently. But Kouji did.

*************************************************************************************************

"This is your room," Tasuki growled softly, "This is my room so DON'T touch anything.
Coz of you, I have to share a room with Kouji. Me and Kouji sleep next door, so if anything's
wrong or if Nakago comes just scream, and we'll come. G'nite"

"Hmmm Gen-chan, I have to ask you something. Are you gay?"

"WHAT??? NO WAY!!!!!!" he screamed, "I leave the gay department to Nuriko. That's a
stupid question. Why'd you ask it?"

Usagi blushed at her mistake and stared at the floor, "Well...you know...before we left
you were STARING at Tamahome...and seeing you and Kouji together was like...Miaka and Tamahome."
She was startled to see he was shaking, but when she glanced up at his face she realized he was
laughing.

When he finally collected himself, he patted her head. "Go to sleep. You need it." He
turned to walk out.

"Gen-chan! Wait..." Usagi called out before he reached the door.

"Yea? What?"

"Gen-chan, I...I...I can have breakfast tomorrow, can't I?"

*************************************************************************************************

Usagi curled up happily underneath her covers. She opened her eyes and noticed something
she hadn't seen before a bowl laid under the table out of sight if you were standing up. She
was over to the table in less than a second and slurping up the soup she found inside even
faster. Only after she was done did she read the note that came with the soup:

Tell me where that beautiful man went!!!

Usagi crumpled it up and chucked it out the window and resumed curling up again. As she
was drifting off she noticed something. 'The pillow, the sheets, the room...they smell like
Tasuki...' And then another thought crossed her mind and sent her bolting out of bed. 'For a
MONTH I'm going to be stuck her with at least fifty, well-built chivalrous guys like Gobin
Lood!!!*' She inwardly squealed, hugged herself, and fell asleep.

*************************************************************************************************

Usagi woke up refreshed from her sleep. Her stomach growling reminded her she had had
nothing but the soup. She smiled at the thought that it was today that she could satisfy her
stomach. She raced around the room quickly putting on her clothes, putting up her hair, and
washing and raced out the door. When she stepped out to the hall and prepared to run to the
dining room, a voice stopped her. "So, you know about Sakura, huh?" She turned to see Kouji
leaning up against the wall. "And if you know Sakura," he sneered, "Then you know you have no
chance with Genro..."

The smile was quickly wiped off her face, "Sakura? Who's Sakura?"

Kouji ran a hand through his hair. "You asked about Sakura first without questioning
what I said about your interest in Genro. So you really DO like him."

"What are you saying? I-I...You just changed the subject!"

"You still want to know who she is? She's a beautiful, young," he glanced at Usagi's
underdeveloped body, "mature woman. She and Genro, they have a relationship that even you can't
touch."

"What...kind of relationship?" Usagi asked hesitantly.

Kouji snorted and cocked an eyebrow at her, "What? You think you can compete with Sakura?
She excels in both bitchery and fist-fighting. But that's not what you asked. To give an idea of
their relationship...the day Genro met her was the day he went to bed with her."

He watched her run off. 'I hope I did the right thing,' he thought grimly to himself.
'But Genro....he's been hurt by too many girls. If he and that girl get too emotionally attached
...she's leaving in a month, but the emotional damage she could do to him could last a lifetime.
Yea...it's best this way. For both of them. Now I have to figure out a way to keep Sakura away
from Genro..." He sighed and prayed to the spirit of his old boss that it would all turn out for the best.



In the next chapter of Pure Hearts: The return of Sakura!


* In case you didn't figure it out both Hobin Rood and Gobin Lood are supposed to be Robin
Hood. Once again a reminder of Usagi's and Miaka's umm...unfluency in English.

Note: I'll make a comment on Sakura after when the whole thing with her is over *ahem* I mean
if it's ever over.
Another Note: FYI I will continue to write Tasuki as Tasuki. Bandits, Tasuki, Sakura, etc. will
call him by Genro. Usagi while she will think Tasuki will say Gen-chan, BUT in special moments
will call him Tasuki. After they're out of Mt. Reikaku it's going to be all Tasuki.
