Eyes of the Beholder
Chapter 12- Trouble, Trouble
There was a skip in Usagi's walk today, but like always nobody seemed to notice; all were too preoccupied with their 'spouses', but today, and just for today Usagi didn't care. There was a reason to this, but strangely enough she herself didn't even know. A soft hum escaped her lips as she dragged on behind the eight. It was a day that began with a great start, and one could only guess where that start was.
Her fingers were safely hidden in her long, warm sleeves, and unbelievingly in there, was a Usagi that was hidden away. Today she wore almost the same ensemble as before, with the exception of color. Red was the color for today, but too bad she wasn't seeing red—
Well at least not yet—
"Mamoru?"
Rei's voice sounded like those romances on those sappy soaps. Mamoru grinned as he gave her a questioning glance. She halted to a stop, and waited patiently for the other couples to move on ahead. After a few seconds or so her attention was once again focused on her beloved Mamoru. Her arms encircled his waist as his pulled her closer. Taking a deep sniff of his scent she pulled him down to her level. That grin grew wider—
Laughing sweetly she closed the gap…
Usagi's mood was then and there shattered. Her smile retorted back into that disgusted stare. 'It's amazing that there allowed to do this in broad daylight.' She thought bitterly. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't jealous; in fact she was far from it. Making a small face she turned away trying not to retch. All the while thanking the heavens that she hadn't eaten yet, for there it was where her plan began to brew—
Up ahead they all knew where Rei and Mamoru went off to, so they weren't too worried; but it was the fact that Usagi was missing that worried them.
"Where do you think she gone off to?"
Ami asked as she looked around worriedly.
"She's a big girl Ami, nothing to fret."
Seiya did say that, but it was just the way he said it that didn't make sense, like he was almost worried for her. Ami looked up at Seiya strangely, but his humorous features dismissed that idea.
The girls all knew Usagi relationship with these particular four boys, but they didn't know how far there relationship went…or how deep. Things happen in the past, but one has to learn to forgive and forget. That's what the girls have tried to get Usagi to do, but for some reason she refuses to do so. It's hard to be in between friend and lover, but nothing can be done.
'Nothing can be done…' that thought ran through Minako's head a thousand times. She didn't want to lose one of her best friends, and certainly not her lover! "Usagi just needs to get to know them better…" she whispered out mindlessly.
"Know who better?"
Snapped out of la la land, her smile grew. "Usagi." She stated simply. At the mention of her name everyone stopped, thinking that she was found.
"What do you mean?"
Yaten's hand had found a way to her forehead, expecting it to be somewhat warm. "I'm not sick!" Minako answered annoyingly as she swatted his hand away. Everyone else was paying close attention now, for Minako rarely shushed Yaten when he showed her attention.
"I mean you guys. I don't know what happened between the five of you, and I don't expect to be told."
Her eyes scanned her audience as her smile grew.
"…But Usagi barely knows you, and you her. So I want all four of you to spend personal time with her."
Yaten's hand had fell from its previous position, which was conveniently on Minako's shoulders.
The three boys deliberately zoned out as the girls discussed everything over—
"This is the first good thing that came out of your mouth."
"Hey!"
"Where should they go? More importantly, how will we get Usagi to agree with it?"
"How bout a--"
…
There was no use denying it…those girls were planning there death—
…
Usagi took in a breath as she placed a grin on her face. "Mind if I interrupt? I have something important to ask…" Her voice completely destroyed their mood, which was exactly what she was pinning for. A blush rose to Rei's cheeks as she tried to regain her dignity. Knowing Usagi she knew what was coming, and that was exactly what she was worried about. Usagi's personality, and her absolute charm—
"Please don't say it…" Rei whispered out.
"I'm not going to embarrass you Rei." Her arms were cross, her voice held a humorous manner.
"I just wanted to ask Mamoru, about a friend."
Mamoru's blue eyes shimmered with pure confusion as she spoke, but nodded mindlessly.
"What about?"
"I want to know if you have her number?"
"Who so?"
Rei was paying close attention to the pair. 'What friend?' she knew basically all the friends' that Mamoru had. He wasn't exactly very social, considering the fact that he hated to be bothered. That was what she loved about him, he was so mysterious—
"Kas…"
"Kas?"
"Kastgi Usuino, I saw you talking to her at the crown."
His face twisted about as he tried to relive his memories, then it dawned on him.
"You mean? But how'd you…"
Usagi knew his questions to a point.
"Long blonde hair, blue eyed beauty?"
"Yes, I remember…"
A sudden cough from Rei made him quite nervous. 'I didn't do anything wrong' he reassured himself. Putting on that mask he continue—
"I remember seeing her, once or twice, not a close friend to me or anything. How did you meet her?"
"She's a close friend of mine…in fact she very close to me."
That gleam in her eyes made him shiver.
"What friend Mamoru?"
Rei was tired of being left in the dust, so she decided to speak up. She wanted an answer, and she wanted one now. To put it simply, she was jealous. Rei had a feeling to whom they were talking about, but she just wanted to make sure.
"Was it that one girl?" She asked.
Mamoru nodded slowly as he eyed Usagi.
"You know her too Rei?" Usagi's voice was filled with enthusiasm.
Rei's hands began to clench.
"You could say that…"
"Oh…"
"Sorry Usagi, but I don't know her number. I didn't speak to her too long."
"Too bad, I lost touch with her awhile ago. Just wanted to see if she was ok."
"That's nice of you."
Usagi's smile hadn't faltered once within that time, but in fact it had gotten wider. Her head shifted to the side as she quickly grabbed both of their hands, and pulled them down that crowded street. "Come on guys, we don't want to be left behind!" Her mood had once again bounced back, and she was literally on seventh heaven.
'One down and three to go' that was the thought that entered her mind before Rei's growling disrupted her thoughts.
"What's wrong Rei?"
Usagi knew the answer to that, and she felt much bliss in hearing her complaint. Her eyes turned to Mamoru, but his were looking amusingly ahead.
"Go on ahead Mamoru, I want to speak with Usagi alone for a moment."
His ears perked as he heard this. Giving her a nod he went on ahead— They watched silently as Mamoru disappeared from view.
"Well…what now?"
"It's just…I have a problem."
"…"
"I'm serious Usagi."
It was the look that appeared through Usagi's eyes that told her that she was thinking that she was joking.
"I'm worried."
"About?"
"My relationship."
"What could be wrong? I mean, I did just see you guys practically mauling each other in public."
A blush rose to her cheeks.
"That isn't it."
"What is then?"
"I'm worried that he might leave me…"
Usagi couldn't help but grin, but she soon realized what she was doing, and therefore caught herself.
"Leave you? Why in the world would he do that?"
"You know that person…you were asking about before? K…"
"Kas?"
"Yes."
"What about her?"
"I think he's attracted to her."
For some reason that wasn't what Usagi wanted to hear. 'He doesn't like me' she told herself expectantly. 'He couldn't'
"You can't be serious…"
"But I am Usagi! I AM!"
"…"
"What if it was like…love at first sight, or something!"
That caused her to laugh, but the look on Rei's face told her to stop.
"Sorry."
"This isn't funny!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know…help me?"
"How?"
"I don't know…I can't really think of anything!"
"…"
"So I'm asking you, Usagi. Please?"
"I have an idea…but you may not like it."
Rei's eyes sparked back to life as she hugged her dear friend. "What?" She asked excitedly.
"Make him jealous…"
…
"One down…three to go."
