Chapter One:
Usagi was led through the forest and towards a mansion. "You live there?" she gasped.
Nagi glanced behind him at the awe-struck boy and smiled, "Hai, demo I live with some people."
Panic flashed across Usagi's face, "Some people? You don't mean" she glanced behind them at the place where the strange person had been.
Nagi nodded, "Hai, demo he'll leave you alone as long as you're near me, Yue-kun."
Usagi shivered slightly, "Why do you think I should enroll into school?"
Nagi glanced over at her, "The first reason is because you'll be safe from Farfarello and the second is you're too young to not be in school."
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen, demo I have a special schooling."
Usagi's jaw dropped as they came to the mansion's entrance. "This is where you live?" she asked again startled.
Nagi chuckled slightly but nodded, "Hai, follow me."
She nodded and did as he bade. He led her through a dizzying array of halls until they ran into a red-haired man. "What do we have here?" he asked a smirk on his lips and a sparkle in his lively green eyes.
Nagi frowned, "This is Yue-kun. He'll be staying with me." Nagi also threw in a strong mental command of 'stay away from Yue both in mind and body' and knew from the slightly annoyed expression that the red-head had picked it up.
Shuldich scowled but nodded. "Hello, Yue-kun. Hope you enjoy your stay with us. Brad wants to talk to you, Nagi."
Nagi nodded, "Hai" He took Usagi's hand again and led her through yet more of the maze like halls until they reached a room. "This is my room," he informed her.
Usagi waited until he opened the door before walking through. She looked around at the strange space like look and her eyes widened. "Sugoi"
Nagi pointed to the bed. "You can sleep there. I'll take the floor. But I have to leave you alone here tonight Don't worry no one will come in here. I promise."
Usagi nodded in understanding and watched as he left and locked the door behind him. 'All alone' She climbed onto the bed and lied down her eyes closing as she thought. 'I hope the senshi can forgive meBut I'll be back in three months so it's not like I'm leaving forever.'
She yawned and stopped the flow of thoughts. She really hadn't realized how tired she was. 'Oyasumi, minna-chan,' she thought fondly before drifting into a peaceful slumber.
Two hours later Nagi slipped into his room and smiled at the sight of his new friend fast asleep. He set the papers that would start his life as a high school student down by Yue's head and yawned himself. 'I should get some sleep' He created a pallet on the floor and crawled in it instantly falling asleep.
**
Usagi awoke as someone shook her awake, "Go away," she groaned trying to bury her head in her pillow.
Nagi shook her harder. "Yue-kun, you have to get up or you'll be late."
Usagi whimpered and opened an eye. "Late for what?"
"School. I enrolled you into the local high school. Your uniform is in the bathroom. Now please get up."
Usagi finally got out of bed though she had a strange feeling someone was helping her. Her eyes shot open and she looked around but Nagi was at the foot of the bed waiting patiently. 'Strange'
Pushing the thought to the side, Usagi continued on to the bathroom, careful not to cross paths with Farfarello. Inside the bathroom, she found her new uniform, like Nagi said. For a moment, she wondered how Nagi knew her size, but as she thought it, Usagi figured it was because Nagi was roughly around the same size, just a bit taller. What a depressing thought. To think that a bishounen like Nagi could fit into her favorite dresses.
Usagi stopped buttoning her shirt, when she realized that she had just thought of Nagi in such a way. 'Baka Usagi! You have a fianceƩ, you shouldn't be thinking like that!'
Quickly she finished buttoning her white shirt, and pulled on the red sweater. She grinned into the mirror. "Sugoi..."Usagi gasped at her reflection. In uniform, Usagi greatly resembled the bishounens that graced the pages of popular mangas. She blushed as she remember various love triangles from her favorite stories. "Silly Usagi, its not like that happens in real life."
"What doesn't happen in real life?"
Usagi blinked, as she finally noticed the other face in the mirror. It was the orange haired man from last night. Schuldich, she believed. Usagi chuckled nervously, "Nothing?" she suggested. 'How much did he hear?!! Wait a minute!' "I locked the door! How did you get in?!"
Schuldich, smirked. Leaning in, he whispered in her ear, "Tell me your secrets, I might tell you mine...Yue-kun."
Usagi stiffened as the German left, but not before tossing a small object in the air for her to catch. She didn't like the way, he said her name. It was almost as if, he knew something and was toying with her. Usagi looked down at the object in her hand. A lock pick. "I have to be more careful."
"About what, Yue-kun?" Nagi, stood in the doorway. Apparently Schuldich forgot to close the door on his way out. Jerk.
"Ne?!" She flushed at being caught off guard. 'Doesn't anybody here make any noise when they move?!' She noticed Nagi still watching her. "...er. About swallowing toothpaste!" Usagi lied, feebly. From the looks of it, Nagi didn't believe her.
"Are you ready?" Nagi questioned, calmly.
"Hai," Usagi chirped.
"Crawford, will be driving you to school." Nagi explained, as he led the way to the kitchen. "You'll be leaving at 7:50. You have fifteen minutes to eat breakfast. Crawford, doesn't like to be late. So make sure you're ready, Yue-kun."
"Okay."
**
Nagi wasn't kidding, when he said that Crawford didn't like to be late. Not even a minute. At exactly 7:51, Usagi skidded to a stop, at the front door her arms filled with a borrowed book bag, supplies and books. She offered a weak smile, at the blue haired man who glared at her over the frames of his glasses.
"You're late." Crawford, removed his glasses to polish the lens with a linen cloth. "In the future, please be prompt."
"Yes, sir." Usagi had a feeling that it wasn't a request, but more an order. Quietly she followed him outside to the car, and slipped into the silver colored vehicle. Classical music softly filled the car, if Usagi wasn't careful she would soon be asleep again.
Just as her eyes began to close, the car stop, "We've arrived."
"Oh?" Usagi, smiled at the older man, as she opened the door. "Arigato for the ride."
"Schuldich, will pick you up, after school."
Not a man of many words, Usagi decided. "Okay. Hope you have a nice day."
"Yes, of course." With that Crawford, drove off. For a moment Usagi stared after the car, wondering if all of Nagi's friends were strange. Turning her attention to the school, she slowly walked in, observing her new surroundings.
"Hi, handsome." Usagi, blinked as a small group passed her. She blushed as another girl, smiled flirtatiously and winked at her. Maybe she didn't think things through, when she had made her hasty decision.
Usagi flushed and backed away as the girls laughed and called her shy. Uttering an excuse that even sounded lame in her ears she raced towards where Nagi had told her the office was. With a timid knock she entered and smiled slightly. "Anno I'm Yue Liang."
The girl on the other side of the counter batted her eyelashes. "Oh really?" she asked an almost purr in her voice. Boys that looked like Yue did didn't come around every day after all. He was a genuine bishounen. "You've already been registered Shall I show you to your classroom?" She suggested her ruby red lips parted slightly.
Usagi blushed deeper and shook her head. 'How can guys stand this?' She wondered. She took the map the pouting girl was offereing and backed away. She glanced down and trying to keep away from the flocks of girls started out for her class.
Looking down at her schedule, to see in what homeroom, she was in, Usagi began walking to her class. Usagi vaguely wondered if she acted like this too, as she passed another group of giggling girls. After a few minutes of searching she finally found her classroom, as she reached for the door handle, another hand was reaching for the door also. Their hands bumped.
"Gomen." A warm voice, apologized.
"Thats okay..." Usagi's voice trailed off as she caught a glimpse of the person. Shaggy sandy blonde hair fell into a pair of friendly cornflower blue eyes. A smile graced his handsome face, as he smiled at her as he walked in. For a moment there all she could do was stare. Blushing, Usagi shook her head to clear her thoughts. 'Remember, you're engaged!!!'
Omi looked up as the new guy entered the room. A heart shaped face framed by wisps of shining blonde hair. Ocean blue eyes were staring at the teacher with a bit of fear and worry. "Anno?" the stranger uttered his voice soft and sweet.
Omi almost couldn't hide his laughter as the girls around the room instantly turned their sights on the new boy. 'I'll try to rescue him before they get carried away.' Omi decided.
"Class this is Yue Liang."
Usagi bowed slightly, "Hello," she greeted a flush from all the attention on her cheeks.
"I want you to take a seat beside Omi." The teacher knew if she stuck the new boy anywhere else she'd have the same problem she had with Omi. Girls had quit listening to stare at him when they were seated by him. She had arranged for him to be in the corner of the room surrounded by other boys. Until now however his right side had been unoccupied. The new boy would fit there well.
Usagi took the seat where the young male student had his hand raised and tried to calm down her raging blush. Being the other gender It was so strange and fascinating. 'No wonder Haruka-san doesn't mind the attention'
Omi turned and smiled slightly holding out a hand, "Omi Tsukinyo, nice to meet you."
Usagi smiled brightly, "Arigato"
Omi's eyes widened slightly. 'What what did I just feel when he smiled?' He shook his head. 'Iie It was just a friendly smile.' He smiled back. "Hope you have a good time here."
She smiled in response. "I hope so too"
The bell rang, and Usagi soon found her desk under siege by her female classmates. She was helpless to do anything but stand there, like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Yue-kun, what class do you have next?"
"Yue-san, would you like me to walk you to your next class?"
"Mika! I was going to ask him!!!"
"Yue-san, would you go to the school dance with me?!"
"Saroi-chan the dance isn't for another three months! And I wanna go with him!!!"
"Umm..." Usagi slowly took baby steps away from the girls. The hearts in their eyes seemed to follow her every movement. It was rather frightening...Usagi looked away from her admirers, and spotted Omi, just about to walk out the door. "Omi!!!"
Omi, looked up in the direction of Yue. As predicted, the girls had the blonde neatly cornered. From the looks of it, he was desperate for any help. "Hai?"
"You promised to show me where the.." Usagi looked at her schedule, to see what her next class was... "gym is."
Omi watched as Yue seemed to turn completely white. 'Guess he doesn't like gym.' Omi figured, "Sure. I have that class next too." For a moment Yue's blue eyes stared at him, in shock, before his face turned bright red.
Usagi fell into step besides Omi, as she tried to fight down her blush. Behind them, a few girls who also had the class followed, giggling like mad. 'They wouldn't be giggling if they were in my place.' She thought grumpily. Bad enough that gym had always been one of her worst classes, but now she had to go as a boy! Really, it was like she had a big 'kick me' sign on her back sometimes.
"The teacher is over there, Yue-san. He'll get you, your gym clothes."
Usagi looked in the direction of the teacher. Her heart sank, as she stared at the obviously well built teacher...'His arms are as big as my waist!!!' That little voice in her head screamed, as Omi gently shoved her forward. "I'm gonna die..."
Omi, observed his new friend a bit corcerned. "He must really hate gym..."
**
American style football...
Usagi wanted to run and hide, as she joined her teammates on the field. Why couldn't she be with the girls playing volleyball? Usagi looked in the direction of the volleyball courts with a slight longing look in her eyes.
A few girls noticed. "GOOD LUCK YUE-KUN!!!"
Usagi blushed, as a few guys glared at her. "Hehe...Isn't that nice of
them?"
None of the guys said nothing as they all got into position. "Liang-san!
Get behind Jin!!!" Her teacher yelled.
Usagi looked helplessly at the guys in front of her, who where ready to play.
"Get behind me, baka."
Usagi glared at the blue haired idiot, who called her baka. 'Jerks.'
Usagi dutifully stepped behind him, resisting the temptation to kick him in
the butt.
"33! 24! HIKE!"
In a half of a second, Usagi found herself holding the football. She looked
up, from the pigskin to catch a glimpse of three guys from the opposite team
charging at her.
'This is going to hurt...'
**
Omi was impressed. Yue had managed to take the most blows the entire game and
remain standing. The blonde was a bit unsteady on his feet, but what matters
was that he was still standing even if he was seeing double. "Omi-kun...this
is a very dangerous sport..."
"Thats why you go and sit out until you feel better to play," Omi
replied, grabbing Yue's arm before he fell flat on his face.
Yue shook his head, sending his shaggy blonde hair flying in all directions.
"No! They're out there waiting to ambush me!" he whispered, grabbing
the front of Omi's shirt. "They're scarier than Minako-chan..."
"Who's Minako?"
"I didn't know, you had a twin..."
Omi sweatdropped as Yue passed out. "Tsukiyno!" The teacher yelled,
"Take the new kid to the nurse's office!"
"Hai sensei."
In soft voice, the over built teacher whispered, "Don't tell her what really
happened...I don't want to sleep on the couch again."
"Hai," Omi replied, wisely keeping a grin off his face. Guess having
the school nurse as your wife wasn't a good thing, when you sent a student to
her office every other day.
Slinging the smaller boy's arm around his shoulder, Omi proceed to drag him to the nurse's office."Thats the new guy." Were the whispers that reached his ears.
"What a bishounen..."
"Whats his name?"
"Remember that manga..."
"Yue Liang...think he'd go out with me?"
"Hai! *giggle* Omi-sempai and the new guy look really cute together..."
"*sigh* We need more cute guys like Omi-sempai and the new guy"
"Uh-huh"
Omi felt his ears burn at his fellow classmates' gossip. Yue-kun and him...Really
sometimes he wondered what went through a girl's mind. Did he look like he was
interested in the blonde boy? Yue was handsome, almost pretty kinda like Aya-kun.
But Omi looked towards him only as a new friend...Right?
As they reached the nurse's office, Yue's hand reached for the doorknob. "Gomen, Omi-kun." He stated softly, pulling away from Omi's hold. "I heard everything. I didn't know everyone would gossip like that...I'll understand if you don't want to be friends with me."
Omi frowned as Yue opened the door. He looked so sad, for a moment. That look didn't suit the face that should belong to a girl, and for the strangest reason he didn't like it there. Omi wanted Yue to smile. "Yue-kun?"
Blue eyes looked up. "Hai?"
"Who cares what they think, ne?" Omi replied with a smile "I'd like to be your friend, if you let me?"
Yue beamed with joy. "Hai!!!" He exclaimed, impulsively hugging Omi. Yue blushed, as he realized what he was doing, "g-gomen!"
Omi laughed at his affectionate new friend, "Thats okay."
**
Usagi had two more classes and lunch with Omi, and she couldn't be happier. It didn't matter that she was stuck with a geek as her chemistry partner, she had a friend. Quickly she took the last of notes down as the bell rang, and rushed out before she was swarmed.
Outside the school gates, Usagi looked for the tell tale orange of Schuldich. She frowned when she couldn't find the German. "Waiting for someone, Yue-kun?"
"My ride." Usagi answered as she watched Omi slip on his helmet. Before she could say anything else a young violet haired girl appeared.
"Omi-kun!"
"Ouka-chan?!" Omi exclaimed startled, as he was glomped.
Usagi, didn't say anything as the new girl immediately began to demand Omi's attention. "I better leave you alone with your friend..."
"Girlfriend." Ouka corrected, eyeing the blonde. There was something about him, that told her to keep her Omi away.
"Oh." Usagi exclaimed, as a car honking and loud cursing reached her ears. Turning her attention to the chaos, she groaned. A sleek black car, had decide to make itself a road block. Parked in the middle of the street, sitting in the driver's seat, sat Schuldich calmly puffing on his cigarette occasionally flipping off the other frustrated drivers yelling at him. "Does he had to do everything with a grand entrance?" she asked herself.
Omi blinked at the scene. "Your ride, Yue-kun?"
Usagi had the grace to blush, "Hai...Though Tomorrow I'm walking," she muttered Usagi started to make his way to the car, "Baka, baka, baka..."
"You should really be easier to the person behind the wheel, Yue-chan," Schuldich smirked at the blonde, as she opened the door. Obviously Yue didn't like the endearment Schuldich added. "You wouldn't want to ruin your pretty face with wrinkles, chibi."
Usagi glared at him, and was about to retort, when Omi called out. "Ja,
Yue-kun!!!"
Usagi turned around and waved as Omi rode away. "Ja ne!"
Schuldich, grinned at the blonde, "Found yourself a crush, Yue-chan?" Usagi turned bright red as her attention was jerked back to the German. He waited until she was sitting in the car. "Careful, I might get jealous."
Usagi's blush intensified. 'What does he mean by that?'
Schuldich smirked at Usagi's confused thoughts. 'What a fun new toy.'
**
Nagi quietly waited for Yue to arrive. After a normal morning of business dealing with Takatori-sama, he had to tried to find more information on Yue. Strangely enough there was nothing on his new friend. Nothing at all. So, now he might have to resort to Schuldich...
Unexpectedly the front door bursted open. A red and yellow blur darted in, as Nagi stood up. "Yue-kun?" Suddenly the blonde tripped over Crawford's Orintental rug, sending him flying into Nagi, causing both to land on the floor with a thud. "Ommpf..."Nagi grunted as he looked at Yue, who was on top of him.
"Today is not my lucky day," Usagi muttered, still on top of the younger boy.
"I don't know about that, Yue-chan," Schuldich drawled. "You look like you're having a lot of fun to me..."
Usagi turned beet red, as she glared at the older man. "Yue-kun, could you please get off of me?"
Usagi stared at Nagi, before scrambling off of him, "Gomen nasai!" she exclaimed as Schuldich chuckled in the background.
"Thats okay." Nagi replied, as he got up and offered his hand to Usagi.
Usagi looked up relieved that he wasn't mad at her. "Arigato, Nagi-kun."
Nagi, nodded, "Do you need any help with your homework?"
"You'll help me?" Usagi exclaimed happily. She didn't have to suffer through scientific proofs by herself, "You're the best!"
Nagi flushed, as he went to get his own books.
"Lucky, lucky Yue-chan, "Schuldich murmured, in Usagi's ear, "having everyone fall into your hands so easily..."
Usagi quickly moved away from the German, "Why don't you just leave me alone?!"
"I don't want too." Was the statement, "It's been boring around here. I've decided you'll be fun to play with."
Usagi's fists balled up at her sides, "How dare y-"
Schuldich, didn't let her finish the sentence as he pressed his lips, over hers. Usagi stiffened, at the sudden contact, of all the things she been expecting this wasn't it...For the briefest of moments, Usagi found herself responding. Before reeling back into the wall behind her, her hand covering her mouth in shock.
Schuldich grinned as he placed his hands at either side of her head, "I was right. You will be a lot of fun, Yue-*kun*." And then he walked away.
Usagi stared after him, confused as hell. "What just happened?"
