Whoops I noticed I called Mamoru Darien in the last chapter smacks head oh well it's the same guy so it doesn't matter does it.....

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 .....

Lips to lips. She closed her eyes quickly pushing her lips against his before trying to roll off him but found his hands clasped tightly around her waist as he kissed her back. He quickly but reluctantly pulled his lips from hers as he pushed her off himself and stood up. Both were blushing as they wondered whether or not they were imagining that the other had kissed them back.

Usagi was still sat on the floor a metre or two away from him thinking 'Oh my God!! Did I really just kiss him? And was it me or did he kiss me back I mean his hands where on my waist after all' Inside her stomach was twisting with butterflies bouncing against eh walls while her heart thumped quickly in her chest. She slowly looked up at him, her face still stained with a blush as their eyes met.

Darien stood watching for her reaction for a few moments. When she finally looked up at him he offered her a hand. His eyes held no expression which spooked her a little, a fear arising as she thought he maybe didn't kiss her back after all and it was just her. 'Well done Chiba, you Baka. You've just gone and kissed the girl and by the looks of it your quick defences are scaring her. BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! Just say something ANYTHING!!' His inner voice scolded at him as she slowly took his hand, instantly out of instinct he pulled her close, against him, arms gripping hers to steady her shaking body.

"Usagi, I.." He looked down at the small girl before him. Her head was tilted down to block his view of her profile and all he could see was a head of golden locks, pulled up into the strangest hair style seen in the public eye. He moved a hand to move her head to look at him, his index finger, ring finger and the finger between them placed gently under her chin as he lifted her face. She flinched slightly as he raised her profile, catching the pained expression as he noticed her actions. His arms dropped by his sides as he gave her a soft smile and left the room leaving her to watch his retiring back before making the bed that they had previously unmade.

Mamoru stood outside, his arms resting on the balcony, hands clasped as he watched the cars and people out in the street below. He could just see the large board of the arcade that was fixed to the wall Reading 'Crown Arcade' in large bold letters. The fonts where in black and the 'W' was infact a large golden crown with fairy lights strewn around the perimeter. A young couple happily bounced out of the arcade. The blond haired man was laughing at a young woman with dark hair who was clinging tightly to his waist, looking up at him with an adoring look on her face. Mamoru gave a single chuckled, moving back slightly as he rested his head on his arms which where now folded over the banister. "Oh Motoki you stupid man...You pushed me over the edge with your nagging" a smile played on his lips as he thought of the last time he and Motoki had been talking or in Motoki's case.. Nagging.

Motoki was stood behind the till wiping down the surface of the counter as he spotted Mamoru walking through the door, bells jingling quietly as the door opened and closed. By the time he had reached the counter a cup of steaming coffee was waiting in his usual spot. "You know me too well man" He laughed putting the money down on the clean surface and taking a sip of the drink. "Yup...That's not the only thing I know about to though.. I mean it's half three which means you're gonna sit here and wait till about four o clock to see the love of your life. You'll maybe give a tug of her hair, insult her a few times about it and her eating schedules. Then you'll order a coffee to go, throw a few more insults while you're waiting for it secretly thinking oh my god I want her now those lips are so kissable, those eyes I could get lost in and that body I could fu" He was cut off as Mamoru slammed his palm over his mouth and glared. "This is a public place you know and you are talking about Odango. I do not see her that way" Rei bounced over chirpily and patted him on the back followed by Minako and Makato both clapping him on the back. "Sure" "You" "Don't" The three spoke a sentence between them taking a word each as they finished for each other. Minako elbowed Mamoru in the side, Makato stood on his right giving him a wink and Rei leant over the counter as she ordered. "A chocolate shake for Usagi.. We don't want it yet because she's probably in detention, as usual. A banana shake, a strawberry shake, and two coke floats please Motoki" Motoki nodded and went to get the drinks while Makato went and sat herself down next to Amy leaving the other two to get the drinks and pester Mamoru. 'Why is it they all think I fancy Usako er Odango... It's impossible I swear I don't have any feelings other then love for her...no wait BAKA!!!' He kicked himself and sat thinking, ignoring the two girls who eventually went off and left him alone.

Half an hour later Usagi slumped in and made her way towards the counter where Motoki waved and went through to the kitchen to get her a milkshake. She sat down and automatically Mamoru gave a tug of her pigtail and grinned. "Hi Odango Atama how was detention.. Fail another test today did we? or where we just late?" She growled as slapped him just as Motoki brought through her milkshake and a coffee setting them down before the two. "Aww little Odango is angry, I wonder if she's got any 4 letter words she cane use or has she progressed to five" His heart skipped a beat as she turned red and glared at him. "Why you Baka! Just because I have an uncommon and Unique hairstyle and I don't get the best of grades doesn't give you the excuse to try and bring me down all the time" She stood up, milkshake in hand as he turned around smirking. "You know Odango you just used two big words.. well done" Before anyone had time to respond there was a splashing noise that had followed a thud as everyone turned to see Mamoru on the floor soaked in Chocolate milkshake, Usagi stood above him wiping her hands happily as she asked Motoki for a another shake then bounded over to the group of giggling friends in the booth.

He chuckled remembering that day, he still swore that the smell of the shake was about him, no matter how many showers or baths he took. He wrinkled his face as he felt a light spitting of rain hitting against him, slowly coming down heavier till he found he was drenched. He turned and went inside to see Usagi was sat on the sofa looking rather tense and scared. "What's wrong Usagi?" She looked up at him, tears brimming in her eyes as she clutched a pillow to her form "Well um.. I'm scared of storms" He raised his eyebrow for a moment before giving her a knowing glance and walking into the bedroom to change. While he pulled on a pair of sweat pants and a shirt he could hear thunder bellowing over head and lighting could be seen flickering through the sky.

He opened the door and was greeted by Usagi throwing herself into his arms and clutching tightly to his shirt, sobbing as her head buried itself in his chest. He smiled as he looked down at the small girl in his arms, gently prying her fingers from his shirt before scooping her into his arms and carrying her over to the couch where she settled on his lap. In a soft tone he spoke "Hey come on now Usako.. I'm here to protect you.. You won't be hurt I promise" He gave her a confused look as she began to giggled, her large sky blue eyes shining with amusement as they caught his. "You just called me Usako... Like earlier when we were on the phone" He blushed and nodded slightly embarrassed by letting the pet name out. She wrinkled her nose, one arm wrapping around his neck as she jumped at the sound of another thunder clap. He chuckled and wrapped one arm around her waist, the other arm snaked under her arm and wrapped across her shoulders so his hand could hold onto her shoulder. Another clap and she squirmed in his grip, her head nuzzling under his chin as she whimpered, Mamoru hushing her with a soft caring tone before he slowly pulled her back and kissed her forehead.

"Mamoru.. You know earlier.. Did you.. well did you kiss me back?" Her eyes where wide as she innocently asked the question, a hint of fear betrayed her as it lurked in her eyes as he chuckled. She took it the wrong way and pushed herself out of his grip as she grabbed her things and headed towards the door. Luckily Mamoru had been on track for a while so he sprinted over and blocked her path of the door, arms wrapping around her small for and pulling her close. "Of course I did, Usako" He lowered his head and kissed passionately, the bags in her hands dropping to her sides as her hands flew to his neck pulling herself closer into his warm embrace. His hands pulled her as close as possible before he stretched his arms ad tight around her as possible, gripping it at her waist as he carefully lifted her up and carried her over to the couch. Her arms stayed clasped around his neck till she was forced to pull away for air, pulling her legs up onto the couch as she settled against his chest, an arm draped around her protectively
