Written date: 2/15/03
Shoot. I ain't got nothing to write in the author's notes anymore. Aww shucks. It takes all of the fun out of writing, doesn't it?
Alexandra: Thanks a lot!!!
Princess Athelia: Ohh, I didn't mean to make you cry! Though that hot fudge sounds really good to me right now. It's cold today. ^_^
Lexi: ???? Oh well. I'm sorry, but this is a Yaten/Usagi fic. Ameni is just a made up character to make Usagi doubt Yaten.
Kage-Shadow-of-Darkness: *looks at review thoughtfully * *nods * Yep, you're right. Yaten is going to end up with Usagi in the end. I was getting attached to Ameni. I'm sorry. But Yaten is better, of course. Oh my goodness. Ameni and Usagi aren't technically dating. You have to understand that in this chapter. Just making sure. *pats KSOF on the head. * Of course I'll let you read the Rubius/Usagi fic. But I have to make a few adjustments on it, so it will take a while. ^_^
Angel-Goddess: Yeah, poor Yaten, poor you. I know how it feels to be banned from the computer. ^_^ I feel your pain.
SilverAngel: Oh well, I have to make a little villainous behavior in Yaten. Be happy that it's over now and I think this chapter will make up for all the bad feelings towards Yaten. Not exactly an apology. *smiles evilly *
Xaphrin: I'm sorry. *cowers behind the laptop * Ouch. I don't want to get hurt. I've already got a cold. *whimpers * Postal? Uh oh. Not good. *phones the post company to cancel all letters sent to PA *
Littlemissgiggles: Cute name. Thanks a lot. I love compliments. I'm sorry I couldn't get it up soon. I was away as well. At my dad's house. Sorry!
Suijou: Thanks for adding this to your favorites. I'm honored.
Usagi Serenity Yui Cosmos: Thanks a lot, I just imagined Ameni was Yaten and it just came out. Now I feel guilty. *Yaten glares at PA: You should be. * *shrug * oh well. I have to make some last minute touches on the chapter. I'll mail it to you soon! Wish me luck. I hope I can get this right. *begins to work on the Rubius/Usagi fic. *
Natsumi: Oh dear! *runs and hides * Don't worry! I'll make it up to you! Just read on, and you'll get your answer. Please don't hurt me!!!
Sunshine Fai: Thanks. Yaten has fans. Goodie! I'm glad your happy with the chapter.
MarsMoonStar: Well thanks a lot. I must be Queen of the World! ^_^ Haven't heard from you in a while. But I'm glad you enjoyed the story.
Chapter 8: Jealousy is just Reward
Usagi slept soundly that night, her first peaceful sleep in days. Ameni had said that he would see her at the studio the next day, where Anya had said that she could introduce Ameni to the rest of the models working for her. She smiled as she pictured the look on Yaten's face when he found out that Ameni and Usagi were going out. Her thoughts filled with pleasure at the spite on his face. Ameni was the best thing that had happened to her since she first found out that Mamoru was in love with her when she was fourteen. She hadn't seen him in such a long time. His studies in America had caused them to break up in the first place. She understood his need to keep his mind on his studies, and he respected his wishes. Even she knew that long distance relationships would never work out.
Ameni said he was going to teach her to play the guitar. She was looking forward to it as well. She had been up late writing out the lyrics to her first song. He told her to just let her feelings out and so she did while she thought back to the dark sensation when she stayed in her bed, feeling like the world was closing in around her, seeing the magazine articles with fake pictures that were never taken, Yaten and Yvonne's comments on each other, back when she cared about what Yaten was trying to do to her. She didn't anymore. She could care less about what that snooty Yaten and Yvonne said about her. She didn't need their good opinion, she had Ameni's, and that was all that mattered to her at the present moment.
She woke up the next day in a skippy mood. She dressed in a white blouse with faded colored thin stripes on it, and a pair of blue jeans with spiky black heels. Her hair, which she was still getting used to it being so short, curled it in waves and magenta tips. Her make up was just plain red sparkles above her eyelids with her naturally pink lips.
She grabbed the notebook she had her lyrics in and tossed it into her messenger bag, which she threw to her opposite shoulder and let it hang at her hip as she hurried down the stairs.
She smiled brightly at Lee and Dana as she reached the limo, kissing them both on the cheeks and hopping in the car, while they got in after her, confused looks on their faces.
"Dana, Lee, I have something I want to show you." She pulled the notebook out of her messenger bag, flipping through the pages, and landing on a page with the lyrics on it, and passed it to them. Lee read it, then passed it to Dana. They both looked at her as if they were seeing for the first time.
Usagi shrugged. "Nani? O genki desu ka?
They nodded. "Yes, it's great Usagi. But, what triggered these feelings?" Dana asked, looking at her as if she had two devil horns sticking out of her head.
"It was what I was feeling when I was in bed all week, thinking about all the things that were happening, when I felt lost, and what was happening with Yaten and Yvonne, and everything. I just thought about it. Ameni said to just let my feelings out. So I did." She smiled at them.
Lee smiled at her. "Well, it's a good way to get rid of all the negativity in your heart."
Usagi smiled. "Ameni is going to let me sing with his band at the crown arcade before his band goes on tour to England. Rocks, ne?"
They both looked at each other, then back at her. They both smiled for her. "We're glad for you, but what about Yaten?"
Usagi looked utterly puzzled, truthfully. "Yaten who?" Her eyebrows were knitted together in confusion.
Lee and Dana instantly dropped the subject and just shook their heads while Usagi took the notebook and put it in her bag and pulled out a nail file to file down her nails. She giggled at her own thoughts and lay back against the soft cushion of her seat.
***
Yaten wasn't the least bit observant the new stranger. His thoughts were on Usagi and when she would get there. He hadn't seen her in a week, but the press saw her every time he gave them a new fake picture of her and Nick Oriento, who was sitting across the room with a confident smile on his face as he spoke with Ken. He was back on good terms with the modeling crew; everyone except Yaten seemed willing to let him back in the group.
Yvonne walked into the room; she sauntered over to Yaten with a smile on her face. She plopped down on the seat beside him. Then her smile left her face as she looked at him. "I really think you're going way over your head with this, Yaten. I know you like Usagi but I don't think this is the way of going about it. Why don't you just tell her?"
"Calm yourself. I know who to handle woman, they have raided me for every day since I got to Tokyo. Usagi will come running to me by the end of the month. I'm sure of it." His smirk returned to his face as he turned to study the new guy. Ameni who was talking with Babe and Rejin about something.
But his eyes immediately adverted to the door, as did everyone's as the bubbly blonde skipped into the room, her messenger bag bouncing against her hip as she walked with an extra bounce in her step. He smiled as she looked at him, but her eyes instantly moved to Ameni, who was walking over to her to take her hand and walk to the seat next to Ken and Minako. He frowned as Ameni whispered something into her ear. *Does she know him already? * He thought. She giggled at his secret he spilled in her ear, and then whispered something back, then handed him a pip fluffy notebook which she flipped the pages to a particular one and let him read it. He seemed engrossed in the words as Anya spoke up, but Yaten's eyes never left Usagi and her companion.
"Okay everyone, this is Ameni Jaird. He's the new model here for a while. He's from California, America." She looked as Ameni smiled at Usagi, and she smiled back at him.
"Usagi? Do you know him?" Anya asked.
"We met at the arcade yesterday." She explained.
Anya nodded, and smiled. "Nice to know that you've been getting out. I've been worried that you were sick or something." She eyed Yaten, who was glaring daggers at Ameni, who was obliviously watching Usagi and Anya, eyes darting respectfully at Anya, and adoringly at Usagi.
Anya cleared her throat. "Well, there is a series of shots today. I thought I would try Ameni and Usagi first for the YM April issue, and then Yaten and Yvonne on the Us magazine, then Yaten and Babe. And then I would like to get one of Ken and Usagi; Minako, Naru, and Usagi, and then Ameni and Yvonne, then Yaten and Usagi, Hugo and Babe, Hugo and Usagi,and then lets go with Yvonne, Usagi and Yaten. Hows that? If the directors want to see anyone else, we'll do it as well." No one heard any objections. "Great. Now lets get to work."
The YM make up artists whisked Usagi and Ameni away. Usagi's hair was done up in black ribbons, and black streaks were added to her thigh-length hair. Silver heels with a band around the ankles were put on her feet, a short cyan mini skirt, and a black glimmering halter with slits through the middle of the chest part for her outfit. Glitter was added to her hair also. There was a silver gold band around the top of her right ear.
Ameni's black hair was given extensions and it now went down to his thighs like Usagi's, though you couldn't tell because he was a great deal taller than she was. His bangs were jelled into spikes pointing down on his face. A cyan shimmering sleeveless shirt and black leather pants along with heavy black boots. Barbwire tattoos circled his arms, and he was given cuffs, and a diamond stud in his ear.
She liked his look. It made him look sexy, mysterious, and dangerous at the same time. They were taken to a set that had them looking like they were in the middle of an alley, chains hanging from the fire escape metal stairways. They looked like gangsters to tell the truth. They had Usagi wrap her arms around the opposite shoulder on Ameni, leaning her cheek against his chest, and he had an arm around her waist, and his head was tilted down to make his eyes look deep and dark. Usagi's eyes were half closed, as if in a trace while starring at the camera, not smiling, but more like a scowl to whomever was looking at her. She looked positively evil at that moment.
"Hold it! Positively eerie Usagi! Keep it right there!" The snap of the cameras followed the director's praise. Usagi smirked, darkly. More cameras went off.
Finally after many matching poses, they were called off the stage and Usagi and Ameni were taken away to get dressed for their next shoot. Next were Yaten and Yvonne. The reason Usagi's blood started to go cold was a mystery to her. She looked over to Ameni, who was getting new make up and clothes to go change into. He smiled at her. She smiled back, loving how it made her feel. But, it didn't make her feel sparks like it did when Yaten would smile at her. She shook her head. *So what about Yaten? I have Ameni now, and nothing Yaten does can make me want to go back to him, or even feel jealous of him now. * She walked towards the dressing room where the rack of clothes and the artists were choosing her clothes. Babe Levitz was over there to, receiving her outfit.
***
Yaten starred at Usagi as he suited up for her picture with Yvonne. He had loved seeing the jealousy in Usagi's eyes, the thought that she might actually like him as much as he liked her. He saw the way that Ameni kept stealing looks at her, and how a flicker of hesitance in Usagi's eyes was followed by a smile under his gaze. She didn't like Ameni more than she liked Yaten. He knew that. The scene with him and Yvonne was at a foam party at a club. He and Yvonne were in the middle of a lot of other people dancing. They struck a pose for the camera.
"The camera loves you two! Though I would have liked Yaten and Usagi better." The director mumbled after his praise to the pair. Yaten caught it, and he knew the man was right.
His next shot was with Babe Levitz, whom he knew was now dating his brother, Seiya. She smiled at him when he gave her a warning look. He knew she wouldn't hurt Seiya the way Yaten had hurt him when he took Usagi from him. Seiya was waiting for Babe to get finished. Yaten gave him a smile at the understanding in Seiya's eyes. Now the road was clear to Usagi except for one little obstacle. Ameni Jaird.
The next shoot was of Ken and Usagi. They were playing around, and Usagi even kissed his cheek while he held her waist with one arm and the other held her leg up against him. Yaten fumed, and Ameni seemed to be doing the same. But Usagi gave Ameni a safe smile, and then he just chuckled, and she winked at Yaten. He frowned, and turned on his heel and stomped off to the dressing rooms. Ken and Usagi only laughed.
***
The rest of the shoots went by really fast. But then there was a shoot with Usagi and Yaten. Usagi was dressed as an Egyptian concubine, and Yaten was prince of Egypt. He wore a pure white kilt around his wait, and gold sandals. He had golden cuffs around his wrists, and a plate around his neck line drawing towards his chest, gems and stones carved into it. His hair was painted black.
Usagi had on a white dress that only went to her ankles, not touching the floor. A silver wrap was around her shoulders, and falling down to twist around her waist. Her eyes were painted with black eye liner, with black lines going out from the sides of her eyes, giving then a cat like look. Her was spray painted black, and was falling like waterfalls over her shoulders. She held a black cat in her arms. It was Luna. Yaten had been happy to see Luna around; he patted her in Usagi's arms, also happy to have an excuse to be near Usagi. Usagi had a plated thick golden neckline around her neck; gems and stones were engraved into it. Her wrists had golden cuffs on them. She looked like she was born in Egypt as a Queen.
The first shot was taken of them, Yaten was seated in a gold recliner, and enjoying his time while Usagi fed him from a bowl of grapes, while he gazed longing at her. Usagi's eyes were closed, but she couldn't miss the realness of his affection towards her. She smiled at him.
Shots were taken of them in different positions. She felt much better for some reason. She was against Yaten's chest as he ran his hand through her hair, both on the recliner. She couldn't stop herself for looking wistfully into his eyes. His own eyes were looking down at her, starring at her with a hunger even she knew wasn't fake. She felt him pulling her closer. *Ameni is in the other room, he won't see. * She couldn't believe she had thought that. She was cheating on Ameni. Why was she doing this?
Yaten couldn't stop himself; he pulled her even closer against his chest, and closer to his face. She didn't seem to care; she was looking at him with hunger equal to his. He kissed her.
Flashes were going off in the back as the director was shouting for them to get the kiss at different angles. The kiss wasn't supposed to be the scene, but the director wasn't objecting, and neither did Yaten and Usagi.
Usagi placed her hands, feeling up Yaten's chest towards his neck, feeling the golden plates on his neckline. He kept her on him, as he moved his hand through her hair while the other one kept pulling her down against him, feeling the dye in her glossy hair. His lips touched hers again, this time more urgent, pressing harder and harder, until she finally opened her lips when his tongue flew across her lips, and then into her mouth. He licked the inside of her mouth, swirling around, mesmerized in the taste of her. He stole away from her for a brief second to regain his breath, and went in again, not wanting to leave her, or her mouth.
Finally they broke apart, not having to breath hard or anything. They just starred at each other. There was a soft giggle in the back of the room. Yvonne and Hugo were there, watching them, smiling. Yaten smiled at Usagi, and she smiled back at him.
Sadly, the moment was cut short when the artists stole Usagi and Yaten away from each other for the next scene.
***
Usagi was skipping happily back to her house, she hadn't wanted a ride. She much rather would have wanted to walk. Yaten liked her, not liked her, loved her. He had said so after the shoots. They kissed again. *I could sing!!! *
She suddenly remembered Ameni, who had been forgotten the whole time. How was she going to break up with him? She would break his heart, she could.
*Oh, hell no! *
She had walked through the park, and then she saw someone she never expected to see, sitting on the bench where Ameni and she had sat during their first kiss. Now he was with someone else. Rei sat with Ameni on the bench, they were kissing.
Usagi thought of saying something, but when she looked closer, and remembered the other night, she saw the instant replay of her and Ameni. Only it was Rei this time. She breathed. He did this to every girl he met, she imagined, and she knew it was true. The passion Rei was feeling right now was only practice for Ameni. Usagi felt sick. Her happiness was broken. She ran back home, crying for her friend. Crying for Rei, and crying for herself.

The YM make up artists whisked Usagi and Ameni away. Usagi's hair was done up in black ribbons, and black streaks were added to her thigh-length hair.

The rest of the shoots went by really fast. But then there was a shoot with Usagi and Yaten. Usagi was dressed as an Egyptian concubine, and Yaten was prince of Egypt.

Usagi had a plated thick golden neckline around her neck; gems and stones were engraved into it. Her wrists had golden cuffs on them. She looked like she was born in Egypt as a Queen.
The first shot was taken of them, Yaten was seated in a gold recliner, and enjoying his time while Usagi fed him from a bowl of grapes, while he gazed longing at her. Usagi's eyes were closed, but she couldn't miss the realness of his affection towards her. She smiled at him.
Shots were taken of them in different positions. She felt much better for some reason. She was against Yaten's chest as he ran his hand through her hair, both on the recliner. She couldn't stop herself for looking wistfully into his eyes. His own eyes were looking down at her, starring at her with a hunger even she knew wasn't fake. She felt him pulling her closer. *Ameni is in the other room, he won't see. * She couldn't believe she had thought that. She was cheating on Ameni. Why was she doing this?
Yaten couldn't stop himself; he pulled her even closer against his chest, and closer to his face. She didn't seem to care; she was looking at him with hunger equal to his. He kissed her.
Flashes were going off in the back as the director was shouting for them to get the kiss at different angles. The kiss wasn't supposed to be the scene, but the director wasn't objecting, and neither did Yaten and Usagi.
Usagi placed her hands, feeling up Yaten's chest towards his neck, feeling the golden plates on his neckline. He kept her on him, as he moved his hand through her hair while the other one kept pulling her down against him, feeling the dye in her glossy hair. His lips touched hers again, this time more urgent, pressing harder and harder, until she finally opened her lips when his tongue flew across her lips, and then into her mouth. He licked the inside of her mouth, swirling around, mesmerized in the taste of her. He stole away from her for a brief second to regain his breath, and went in again, not wanting to leave her, or her mouth.
Finally they broke apart, not having to breath hard or anything. They just starred at each other. There was a soft giggle in the back of the room. Yvonne and Hugo were there, watching them, smiling. Yaten smiled at Usagi, and she smiled back at him.
Sadly, the moment was cut short when the artists stole Usagi and Yaten away from each other for the next scene.
***
Usagi was skipping happily back to her house, she hadn't wanted a ride. She much rather would have wanted to walk. Yaten liked her, not liked her, loved her. He had said so after the shoots. They kissed again. *I could sing!!! *
She suddenly remembered Ameni, who had been forgotten the whole time. How was she going to break up with him? She would break his heart, she could.
*Oh, hell no! *
She had walked through the park, and then she saw someone she never expected to see, sitting on the bench where Ameni and she had sat during their first kiss. Now he was with someone else. Rei sat with Ameni on the bench, they were kissing.
Usagi thought of saying something, but when she looked closer, and remembered the other night, she saw the instant replay of her and Ameni. Only it was Rei this time. She breathed. He did this to every girl he met, she imagined, and she knew it was true. The passion Rei was feeling right now was only practice for Ameni. Usagi felt sick. Her happiness was broken. She ran back home, crying for her friend. Crying for Rei, and crying for herself.
