Kiss From A Rose, Chapter 5. I don't own SM.
I changed the format, this might be better. Please R&R, or no more story.
"TSUKINO-SAN!!" Sakurada-sensei cried.
"Eh? Oh, gomen nasai." Usagi said softly.
"Your homework, Tsukino-san? Of course, you probably didn't do it because of other things..."
Usagi grabbed the homework she had done. The only way to keep her mind off Mamoru was to do something, and her homework was there. Usagi handed it to Sakurada-sensei, who stopped midsentence, and stared at Usagi. Everyone gasped. Sakurada-sensei's eyes opened wide, and she fainted.
***
Outside, it was pouring. Students were walking home under umbrellas, while Usagi stood alone on the steps.
"Usagi-chan?" Ami said, walking up with Makoto.
"Ami-chan, Mako-chan," Usagi said, acknowledging them.
"How about we go to my house? I made a chocolate cake last night-your favorite." Makoto said, smiling.
Usagi shook her head. "Iie. Arigatou." She stepped off the steps into the rain.
"Usagi-chan! You'll catch pneumonia out there without an umbrella!" Ami cried.
"It's better than being heartbroken." Usagi said.
***
She walked alone on the streets on Juuban, wishing he was there.
"God's will..."
He had said that two weeks ago, and there was no sign of him since. If it was, which she knew it was, God's will, then why hadn't they seen each other? Lightning flashed, and suddenly a huge BOOM made Usagi cry out in fear. She hated thunder and lightning! She ran down the road, losing her way, when she screamed from the thunder again.
*Mamoru-san!* her heart cried. "MAMO-CHAN!! MAMO-CHAN!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. She closed her eyes and ran blindly. A pair of strong arms stopped her, and she started to struggle.
"MAMO-CHAN!!" she cried, trying to kick the person holding her.
"Usagi! It's me!"
Usagi looked up to see Mamoru's eyes looking down at her, his eyes filled with worry.
"Mamo-chan...AAUGH!!" she screamed when the thunder boomed again. She clutched Mamoru's shirt as he held her. His umbrella and her bag were lying askew on the ground.
"You hate thunder?" he asked gently.
She nodded, trembling. He turned her face up to his. Tears and raindrops left traces on her cheeks, flushed with embarrassment.
"What was that you called me?"
"M-Mamo-ch-chan," she stuttered. "Gomen nasa..." she was cut off by two of his fingers touching her lips gently.
"Mamo-chan? I like it." he said.
Usagi stayed silent. Mamoru smiled. "It's God's will that we meet again. And to fall in love."
Usagi shook her head. "It's fate." And with that, he moved his fingers, and let his lips meet hers.
***
"Mamo-chan!!" Usagi cried, skipping down the road. She embraced him as he squeezed her back. A metallic glint flashed in the sunlight, and passed through Usagi's neck. Blood ran down her throat and onto her clothes, as Mamoru held the bloodied knife.
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi gasped as she fell to the sidewalk, her long blonde hair becoming drenched in the dark red blood. She was dead, lying in a pool of her own blood, eyes wide and blank.
***
"IYAAA!!" Minako screamed, shooting out of bed. She wiped her sweat drenched brow with shaky hands, and pushed her covers off.
"Mamoru-san wouldn't do that," she told herself in a shaking voice. "He wouldn't." She held her head in her hands and sighed.
*Maybe I was wrong to keep Usagi away from him,* she thought. *This could happen if they stay away.*
***
Usagi walked out of her house and met Mamoru in front of Crown. She smiled as he sat there, reading a book. She kissed him on the cheek, and he looked up.
"Usako, I wondered..."
"Usako?" she asked surprised.
"Yeah, Usako. You don't mind, do you?" he asked, ruffling her hair.
"No, I love it." she said, smiling. She snuggled in his arms, then heard him say, "What do you want to do?"
"Go to a movie?" she asked.
"Sounds perfect. Let's go." he said, wrapping his arm around her waist, and steering her around, where they found themselves face to face with Makoto and Rei.
"Mako-chan! Rei-chan! Genki(How are you)?" Usagi said happily.
"I thought Minako made it perfectly clear that you weren't allowed to see her?" Makoto said, her tone icy.
Mamoru glared at them. "I'm not going to hurt her-"
"Bullshit." Rei said angrily. "A little seduction to make her trust you, then hand her over to the Dark Kingdom? Or maybe just rape and death?"
"I wouldn't do that to her!" Mamoru cried out, exasperated.
"We know. We're going to make sure of that. Come on, Usagi." Makoto said, sounding colder every word.
"STOP!!" Usagi screamed. Everyone was silent. Usagi, shaking from head to toe, felt betrayed by everyone.
"I'm in love, minna. I'm in love. Who are you to decide it for me? Why can't you just let me be with the one I love?"
"Usagi, we're trying to protect you." Rei said softly.
"Mamo-chan can protect me. He will protect me." she said, almost on the verge of tears. Rei and Makoto were still unconvinced.
"This could just be a plot to lead you straight into the Dark Kingdom!" Makoto told Usagi.
"He wouldn't!" Usagi cried.
"Minna, yamette(Stop, everyone)!" cried another voice.
Rei and Makoto looked to see Minako standing next to them.
"Minako-chan, tell him once and for all." Rei said.
"No." Minako said softly.
"Nani?" Makoto and Rei gasped.
"No." Minako walked up to Usagi, and held her hand. "Usagi, be careful. But you must be with him."
Usagi smiled, tears of joy filling up her blue eyes. "Arigatou, Minako-chan."
"Minako-chan!!" Makoto and Rei cried.
Mamoru looked down at Usagi, and turned her around to go somewhere else.
Rei and Makoto glared at Minako. "You know she can't be with him." Makoto said angrily.
"I know she can be with him. She has to." Minako said softly.
"We don't know anything about him!" Rei cried.
"They need each other." Minako protested.
"Then, Sailor V, are we enemies too?" Makoto growled.
Minako turned to them. "Prehaps. But if we fight the same fight, we're on the same side."
Minako stared at Rei and Makoto, who were glaring at her. It seemed as if instead of being against the Dark Kingdom, the senshi were now against themselves.
***
"TSUKINO-SAN!!!"
Usagi ripped herself out of her fantasy-a romantic evening with Mamo-chan, candles and evening after included-back to class with Sakurada-sensei staring at her.
"How is it that you are able to do your homework perfectly, but not pay attention and still fail your tests and quizzes?" she asked.
Usagi smiled. "I, I just do?" she said. The truth is that Mamo- chan helped her with her homework first, so they would have more time for fun, even thought the homework in itself was fun.
Sakurada-sensei sighed. "Why can't you just be a GOOD student?"
Usagi sighed. If she were a good student, maybe the others wouldn't be so mad at her. She wished she were smart to understand why.
***
"Mamo-chan!!" Usagi cried, running out of school into his arms.
"Usako, how was school?" he asked.
"Great, but I wanna be with you more." she said, snuggling in his arms again.
Mamoru looked at her lovingly, then looked up to see Makoto glaring at the couple. Ami put a hand on Makoto's shoulder, and stared sadly and them.
"Are they mad at you?" he asked.
Usagi clutched his shirt, her smile fading. "I think Mako-chan is, but I don't think Ami-chan is."
He ruffled her hair, and smiled. "Come on, Usako. I planned a very special night for us."
Usagi thought about her daydream, but then she saw it being ripped to shreds, her friends being shoved away. She did her best to smile. "Sounds great. Let's go."
"Great." Mamoru said. He kissed her lightly on the forehead, and they walked from the school. Makoto glared at Usagi and Mamoru until they disappeared from sight.
"Mako-chan, you're not mad at Usagi, are you?" Ami asked softly.
Makoto's glare turned into a concerned face. "Not really, but I wish she could understand why she can't be with him."
"Why shouldn't she be happy?" Ami said quietly, but Makoto heard.
"Who's side are you on, Ami-chan?" Makoto cried, shoving Ami's hand off of her shoulder.
"I'm not on anyone's side..."
"Yes you are!!" Makoto screamed. "Why don't you just admit that you're basically throwing her to the enemy? Are you stupid enough to do that?!"
"Mako-chan, try to..."
"You know, Mizuno-san, you may have a 300 IQ, but at times you are so fucking naive." Makoto turned on her heel and walked briskly away.
"Mako-chan! MAKO-CHAN!!" Ami cried to her back. But Makoto wouldn't listen. She'd had it with happiness. Happiness seemed to kill you. She didn't want Usagi to be hurt-couldn't anyone understand that? It's not that she wanted Usagi to be unhappy, but no one knew anything about Tuxedo Kamen, who they knew now was Chiba Mamoru, but that's about it.
Makoto stared blankly at her door, not realizing she had walked all the way home without noticing anything. She heard the thunder outside, and remembered that there was a rainstorm forecasted that day.
*It's amazing that I wasn't hit by a car.* she thought, throwing her bag inside and walking to the kitchen to make a pot of rose tea-her favorite. That might calm her down.
"I just hope Usagi's okay." Makoto said softly, and turned on the oven.
