Here's the second chapter!!! Just to clear things up yes Oru is Mamoru.. I don't know why but I like the sound of it so.. Yeah..... Shrugs

Mamoru shoved the key in the door and unlocked his apartment before shoving Usagi inside, bags still in hand. She bounced into the centre of his living room after kicking off her shoes and replacing them with one of the pairs of slippers beside the door. He laughed as he caught a glimpse of her cerulean eyes as her body spun around in the middle of his apartment. She was stood in the living room which was connected to the dinning room, the wall between the two being mostly knocked down to create a large arch.

She looked around in awe at the Dodger blue living room. There was a small hallway that was connected in one corner which lead off to two rooms which she was correct in presuming where his bedroom and bathroom. There was one wall which was painted a light turquoise that stood behind the large plasma screen TV and stereo system. Opposite was a black leather couch and a matching arm chair, a glass coffee table was centred between them with a plane vase filled with roses of different colours but mainly red was perched in the middle. It had laminate flooring and a large black faux (false/fake) fur rug in the middle of the floor. The dining room was a pale blue with pastel purple carpet. An oak table sat in the middle of the floor, blue and purple cushions where scattered around it.

Next she went into the kitchen which was bright orange across the bottom and yellow across the to separated by a silver and gold boarder that existed of the two colours weaving in and out of each other. There was a large window covered by an orange blind, more vases of roses were scattered along the window that separated the dining room and kitchen, and the floor was once again laminate flooring. There was also a balcony that could be accessed from both the kitchen and dining room. The Railings were black painted steel that twisted in its own little pattern of vines covered in roses.

The bathroom was large, with gold tiles running along the top and bottom of the wall about 3 rows down while the rest was painted green. The floor was also gold tiles but the interior was white. There was a large bath, a shower in one corner and opposite that was an immaculately white toilet and a shell shaped sink next to it with gold faucets.

The last room was his bedroom. The wall facing the door and the ones on either side where painted a deep crimson while the wall with the door was black. There was a Mahogany four poster bed in the middle of the room with red sheets that had a black stripe running across the top. An end table on either side, each topped off by a case of roses.

When she returned to the living room she found Mamoru was sat with his feet on the coffee table, settled into his couch riffling through her bags of shopping being careful not to knock any of the snacks and drinks he'd brought through off the table. There were too piles. One pile was bags he'd looked in and the others were the ones he hadn't. It was August the first, two days before his birthday and in one of the bags was the birthday present she had bought him. She knew he liked to write in his journal alot and a few days ago after managing to peep over his shoulder for a few seconds she had seen he was running out of pages, so for his birthday she had bough him a black leather journal that had a large image of a rose on the front and greyish rose outlines on each of the pages, it was perfect for him. She quickly scanned the piles and snatched the bag from the top of the pile he had not looked at yet and held it behind her back.

Mamoru not to be the one who couldn't tell something was going on raised an ebony eyebrow at her action and cocked his head "What's in the bag Odango?" His tone was deep but soft sending a slight shiver down her spine as the never heard before octave of his voice reached her ears and she blushed stepping back "N.. n.. nothing Mamoru-Baka".

She mentally kicked herself as her voice betrayed her with a stutter, as if by an instant reaction or instinct Mamoru's eyes narrowed and he set the bag down, his feet beside it as he stood up and moved to her. She had no other choice but to back away from him which only made him come closer, curiosity nearing it's brim as he resisted the urge to pin her against the wall and steal the bag aswell as a kiss while he was at it. He shook his head as he realised he just thought about kissing Usagi. 'Ok so she's cute but why would I wanna kiss Usako? WAIT!!! CUTE?!?!?!?! USAKO?!?!?! WHAT THE.....' He shook the thoughts from his head as he realised she was now across the other side of the room slowly backing out onto the balcony.

With that there was a bringing noise coming from the end table beside him, he quickly snatched the phone from off the cradle, being careful not to knock the roses over and clicked the button as he held it to his ear "Moshi, moshi?" He slowly approached Usagi who had her back to him looking over the side of the railings to see he was a good few floors up. On the other side was a blubbering Motoki who was going n

on about a storm heading towards their city and the girls had gone over to Usagi's house but she hadn't been there so they'd gone to the arcade but she wasn't there either so they'd begged him to ring Mamoru which he was now currently doing to see if he had seen her.

"Mamoru???? Answer my for Kami's sake man!!! Have you seen Usa??? There's a storm coming!! Mamoru!!" He pulled the phone away from his ear as Motoki started shouting frantically, he looked at the phone and clicked a button so that Usagi could hear what was being said. He clapped his hand over her mouth to stifle her giggling but soon found it was infectious and he too was laughing. "Motoki... Don't worry about Usagi, She's here with me.. all safe and sound.. or is she... you know how we are when we're together" He trailed off as Usagi looked at him slightly caught on till she caught onto his wave of thinking. "Now the way we are we could either be at each other's throats or... well we both know what other sort of thing anger can lead to that doesn't involve death but could involve leather and whips" He trailed off and winked at Usagi as he hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. "Motoki said there's a storm headed towards our city.... wanna call home?" She nodded and he handed her the phone. After a few minutes she hung up and flopped down on the leather couch grabbing a mouth full of pop corn before he dropped down next to her. "Mom, said I have to stay till the storms over but only if it's alright with you...other wise I'm to head straight home or straight to the arcade" He nodded and draped an arm casually over her shoulder. "Sure think Odango but what if Motoki or the girls ring again?" They looked over at each other then burst out laughing just as the phone started to ring again.

Usagi snatched the phone out of Mamoru's hand and pressed the buttons to answer and put it on loud speaker. "Moshi, moshi?" She asked politely as she heard Motoki start up. "Usagi... Where abouts in Mamoru's apartment are you?" His voice sounded weak and in the background they could hear the voices of three chattering girls and one girl typing loudly on her computer which was undoubtedly Amy. Usagi looked at Mamoru who raised an eye brow as she answered with "Where abouts in Mamoru's apartment am I? Well.... from the looks and well feels of it I'm in the bedroom. Why?" Mamoru covered his mouth as they heard Motoki gulp over the line. "Usako get off the phone will ya I'm getting cold here" There was another gulp from Motoki as Mamoru added a strained grunt and Usagi faked a whimper.

In the background Rei, Minako and Makato could be heard asking Motoki what was wrong while Amy shouted about getting water for him and sitting him down. An idea struck Mamoru as he pushed Usagi off the couch and straddled her tickling her mercilessly. "Mamo-Chan!! Stop that it tickles!!" There was another gulp from over the line as Mamoru thought 'Well duh I am tickling you after all'. He quickly scribbles some instructions onto one of the post it notes on the coffee table and showed it to Usagi who did the first part by hading over the phone to Mamoru after he angrily stated "Give me that phone before I come up there, Usako" as she scrambled onto the couch. There was another gulp as Motoki spoke again "Hey Mamoru... buddy" Mamoru smirked at his friends uncertain voice. "What are you two doing exactly?" with that Mamoru gave a nod to Usagi and started a long strained grunt as Usagi called out "Ma" His hand covered her mouth releasing it seconds later "Mo" Next he jabbed her quickly in the ribs causing her to screech the last part of his name "Ruuuuuuuuu " They both let out a sigh, their eyes widening as they heard a thud over the line and four girls screeching hysterically about Motoki fainting.

Mamoru hung up the phone and put it on the coffee table before they jumped up and high fived each other. It was the perfect pay back for all the times Motoki had teased Mamoru about Usagi and the girls had teased Usagi about Mamoru or drooled over him. They flopped down in unison onto the couch and Mamoru flicked the TV on turning to Usagi "So Mamo-Chan eh?" She glared and nodded with the response of "Well you started it by calling me Usako". He blushed slightly and grabbed a hand full of popcorn before coming back with "Well I have to admit.. My name does sound good when you're screaming it like that" He covered his ears as she hollered after him shouting every name under the sun but his.

Soon Usagi found herself in Mamoru's bedroom. He was stood on one side and she was stood on the other, both trying to work out where the other would go next. Before Mamoru realised what happened an angry Usagi had sprinted around the bed at the pace she normally ran to school with. Unfortunately for them during the whole time they had been chasing each other the bed sheets had ended up half on the floor and well you know what happens next don't you. Usagi tripped over the corner of the sheets, which were twisting themselves around her feet and ankles and she fell straight smack into Mamoru sending them both to the floor, Usagi laid on top of Darien, nose to nose and .....
