Hey all I'm sorry that it took me so long…well not too long, but long nonetheless to get out this 5th chapter. I don't know whether it's school or my lack of inspiration, but I fear that my downfall is yet to come. Tear Talk about dramatic I don't even have a clue to what I just said. O well on to you guys! Enjoy my story and please remember to leave me something! Grins
First off… Hey! I have no questions! Sniffles Hey wait! There's one!
Lily- Of course I'll update! As long as there someone out there that still enjoys reading my stories then I'll continue to write! I'm truly sorry that it was boring. I had to admit that writing it wasn't the same as reading…although I'm quite happy with the results…well except for those few or many spelling and grammar errors. Hehe. I have such bad punctuation and grammar! You should see my cousin. Looks around I hope she's not reading this but if you are then pah I say it all the time! She's great at grammar and a grammar nit freak. I assure that things will get more interesting so PLZ do keep on reading!
Mi-Lu- I wanna know who the mystery guy is too! Pout Maybe you guys could give me some tips huh? I'll say this wholeheartedly I have no clue who he is…I think. I do have a thought of whom he could be, but I'm not telling. Hey who knows maybe he'll be here in the next few chapters or he could show up in the very last chapter. I never do know what I'm going to write. Enjoy!
Fiery Phoenix- I'm so glad that you like it! As for adding more characters what kind. I mean made up or already in the real SM series? I've had some thoughts about adding some new characters but as of yet I don't really know who to add. Give me some ideas' if you like and I'll be sure to keep them in mind. Enjoy reading!
Deity of Death- Thank you so much for the name compliment! When I first came to I thought I came up with the most original name ever! Falls over Well I was wrong. There are others out there with the exact same name…except now I have the number 6! I wish I had 2…o well enough of my nonsense. So did you figure anything out with the help of my chapter title? I'm curious to see what…and who knows you might be on the right track. Enjoy!
This part is to everyone. As you all know in that last chapter I ended it with a 'him' well 'him' wasn't really the ending but he was in there somewhere. Anywho you're all probably wondering who he is. I've come to a conclusion to two people but I still can't really decide who. Asked by Fiery Phoenix for adding more characters I would not only like to see what Fiery Phoenix thought but the rest of you readers as well. What do you all think? Should I add and if so who?
Did I miss anyone? I go through this after each chapter Well if I did then I'm truly sorry so in the reviews just asked me the question over again and make me answer twice as long! Me poor fingers Enjoy and keep on reading!

Eyes of The Beholder
Chapter 5- Forever Home
"Usagi!"
His deep voice was a startling sound. It was four in the morning and Usagi was getting pretty ticked off with the boy standing beneath her balcony. Trying to ignore the pestering sound she rolled over and continued to sleep.
"Usagi!"
This time not only did his voice come through but the sound of a 'bump' came along as well. Groaning slightly she dragged herself out of bed and made her way to the balcony. Opening the gliding door slightly she slipped outside. The wind was a cold awakening as she shivered violently. "What is it" Her voice came out in a whining way. He didn't answer and in result just made her more angry.
Glaring down at him wasn't the way to go. Even in the moonlight his blue eyes twinkled mischievously. 'Staying mad was never the answer' Smiling gently her face eased. There was something different about him tonight…he was staring at the ground instead of looking at her! "At least look at me when your talking" She told him gently. His head slowly lifted up, enough for her to see the faint blush across his cheeks. Then he looked down again.
Scratching her head in confusion her arms crossed just as his head lifted up again. Her arms sat contently under her breast…and eh in result pushed them up slightly.
"U-Usa-Usagi…"
Her face scrunched up in a confused manner. Cranking her head to the side as she leaned forward. His small cry soon became a yell as he shielded his eyes…well at least most of them.
"Huh?"
"You…your…clothes…not…no-not-not…not"
He seemed to be stuck on the word not. Looking down she caught what she was wearing. Letting out a small yelp Usagi ran back inside. A blushed glowed warmly across her cheeks as she checked to make sure that her family was still asleep. Looking down at herself once more she bit her bottom lip in embarrassment. Her nightgown short and that's all I'll say.
Wrapping herself in a robe as well as grabbing some shoes she made her way downstairs. "Please be asleep," she whispered out. Her dainty feet reached its way to the bottom step. Her eyes traveled to the living room where her father worked and sure as can be he was asleep on his desk. Letting out a small sigh she continued for the door. Opening it and then closing it as quietly as possible.
"Usagi?"
"Man! Why didn't you tell me?"
"I did…"
"Sure"
Her eyes looked at him in a mocking way. They've been friends for years now and still he has trouble speaking to her. It all started a few years ago and she still couldn't figure out the reason why. The more she thought about it the stranger it came. When she was younger nobody had trouble speaking to her, at least not the boys—but, but now it's different.
Tossing her golden locks behind her she glared at him slightly.
"Now why would you wake me up at this hour?"
Forgetting what happened just a few moments ago, his body seemed to relax as he returned to his normal self. Blue eyes giving her that puppy dog look as his lips released a small whimper. Usagi rolled her eyes as she watched the sight before her.
"O come now Usa…forgive me?"
"…"
"I just wanted to have a chat with you"
"Couldn't it have waited?"
"No…you know I would never just wake you up if it wasn't important"
"You sure about that"
Her voice held a bit of humor as she stared at the handsome youth before her. She didn't know who but he reminded her so much of someone…or was it more then just one person. "Thinking of something?" His voice interrupted her and to a shocking surprise they were only two inches apart!
"Uh…"
"Um"
Both blushed as the silence took over. Her head lifted up gently brushing past his lips.
...
(Flashback)
Usagi smiled as they tried to cheer her up. She was just her usual clumsy self, which was probably the main problem in the first place. She didn't exactly know what happened, but one minute she was eating, and then the next she was on the ground; and in tears no less! Sniffing slightly she buried her head in her hands—
"O come now Usa…"
"You want my cone?"
"She's not hungry you dolt!"
"Hey don't call me a dolt! You—you pig!"
"Who you calling a pig, you fatso!"
"Idiot!"
"Scum!"
"Short stuff!"
They all stopped as a muffled giggle escaped to the air. There smiles grew as they knelt down next to her.
"See…there's nothing to cry about."
"All tears and no play--"
"That's not the saying you nitwit."
"Well fix it then, if you're so smart."
"It doesn't even fit."
Usagi slowly wiped the tears away as one of them pulled her up.
"Take care Usa…"
That was what they said just before they left. She smiled brightly as she skipped down the walk.
Someone came back—and in the distance she could faintly hear the words of:
"You worry me Usa…"
His voice was kind and as gentle as can be—
(End of Flashback)
...
Usagi released herself from his embrace. Backing away slightly her eyes widen.
"I'm sorry"
"No. It wasn't that…I…it's just"
"See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah"
…………….
Morning came but worries still were clear in Usagi's mind. Doing her usual morning routines she finally made her way downstairs by 9:30.
"Up so early?"
Nodding in reply she sat herself down. Here she was on a Saturday morning and waking up early! It was those guys…her enemies back home, but then why—
Her memories weren't always too clear. Could it be? Did that really happen or did she just think it all up?
"Am I falling for them?"
Her whispers worried her mother a bit as she continued on with her cooking. "So, did you have a good night sleep?" asked Ikuko. Usagi stayed silent and only answered with a gesture. 'Maybe she knows' thought Ikuko.
...
(Flashback)
"We have to send her back dear, she's forgetting everything. It will be good for her"
"But"
"Remember how hard it was for her to move away. Well this is like granting her wish. Ikuko honey, Usagi isn't the same here…she's somehow changed. I guess you could say that I want my little girl back"
"She grew Kenji."
"I know"
"I guess Usagi would enjoy seeing her friends again…"
"Yes"
"But, where would she stay? Who would take care of her!?"
"I had everything arrange. Usagi will be staying at the shrine with the Hino family. They've welcomed her with open arms"
"…"
"So is everything settled?"
"Yes"
(End of Flashback)
...
"Usagi! Pack your bags…you're going on a vacation!"
Kenji came running in with the airline ticket safely held in his hand. Usagi's head rose with a start. "What are you talking about?" Her confused voice was clearly shone. Kenji's pace slowed a bit as his eyes turned to his wife, who shook her head in return.
"Back to Tokyo sweetheart"
"Tokyo?"
"Yes"
"All of us?"
"No sweetheart, just you"
"Me?"
"You'll be able to see your old friends again"
Immediately the girls' faces flashed back into her mind, but then the boys overlapped them turning her bright smile into a disapproving frown. Her parents stood on the sidelines wondering how or what exactly made there daughter switch moods so fast—
"When will I be leaving?"
"As soon as you like"
Biting her bottom lip slowly she rethought it over.
"How soon would that be?"
"Tonight…in a few hours…now"
"NOW!!!!!!"
Well that 'NOW' was a now of shock just to let you all know. I didn't want you all to mistake it as a now of excitement. Anywho did you like? Review PLZ!!!!
Next Chapter- Changes Can Be Good
Summary- She hadn't seen them in ten years and now everything was coming back to haunt her. She changed as well as her friends. But the people that she's longing to see are not the ones that had always been there for her, but the ones that weren't.
A/N- Ok well nothing really happened in this chapter…hehe. I guess I sort of dragged the story again. I do hope that you all still enjoy! And PLZ remember to review!
