Happy Holidays my darling reviewers… I'm truly overwhelmed at your response. Wow, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to get so many reviews over such a short span of time.  It's just mind-boggling, and is making me love you all so very much.

 So much so, that I blew off doing some of my winter break home-work (big sacrifice (not)) to write this Chapter for you…

So enjoy, and have a wonderful Christmas.

*hugs all her reviewers, and anonymous readers*

once again, I love you all, and thank you for your overwhelming support.

If I owned Sailor moon, would I have written Santa begging him to give it to me?

Chapter Six : THE REACTION!

"fem-feminine products?" he choked out… "Why would you want those?"

Usagi took a deep breath and knew she would have to explain everything

"I guess I'm going to have to tell you everything…"

"…feminine products… I don't get it, is this some type of joke?" Mamoru asked still tinted red, and utterly confused.

"Mamoru, come on" Usagi stated, taking his hand. "Sit down here on the bed, and I'm going to tell you a little story"

"….but…" she placed her fingers on his lips to quiet him.

"Just listen, it will explain everything… you see, once upon a time there was a little girl named Usagi, and she lived with her Mom and Dad. Then one day while they were out in the car a huge truck crashed into the car, and the family were all taken to the hospital where the mom and dad both died. The little girl survived, and she grew up in an orphanage, being passed around from family to family until finally when she was sixteen her last foster parents agreed to let her go live near where Minako, and her mom were living. Ever since then she lived alone. Then last year, Usagi, being a very smart girl decided that if she wanted to get into a good university she should try to get into a private school."

Mamoru looked at her, as if she had grown a second head, but she didn't stop.

"Usagi got accepted into quite a few schools, but chose St. Joseph as it had the best reputation of all, yet knowing it was an all-boy's school she had to alter her appearance." Usagi finished,

Mamoru was definitely confused, "I still don't' get it, what would this Usagi have to do with you?"

Usagi sighed, I guess I should just spell it out "Mamoru" she began taking a deep breath, "I need the feminine products, because I am the girl in the story, and I'm trusting you with this… if you tell, then I will be expelled… but if you don't, then I can stay. My future at St. Joseph's all depends on you" she concluded.

Mamoru stared in shock; if what she was saying was true… he'd been sharing a room with a girl for the past two weeks. This brought him back to the first question she'd asked.

"Come on" he stated, moving towards the door. "We can deal with everything else after… but if you really are having… err well… that... then I suppose we better get you something." He mumbled blushing red.

Usagi smiled, "thanks…"

Mamoru then left his room, and walked down a long hallway, which was adorned with pictures of hounds, and foul, and other such hunting scenes, as Usagi followed behind. At the end of the hall, he turned and opened the door to the master bedroom. Entering the room, he led her towards the master bathroom.

"Well… if she has anything, it will most likely be in here…" he commented before leaving Usagi to search on her own.

Sighing, the blonde entered the bathroom, and began to look, starting with the cupboards under the sink. Quickly concluding that there was nothing there, she moved on the upright cabinets, then the closet, and just as she was about to give up she spotted a basket, and opening it found exactly what she was looking for.

That dilemma taken care of she slipped a few tampons into her pocket before going outside to have a talk with Mamoru.

"Find everything?" he asked, as she sat down on the bed beside him.

"Yes, thanks…"

They fell silent.

"So…" Mamoru began, "I guess you really aren't gay are you"

"No…"

"Lesbian?" he questioned

"No, I'm not…"

"Oh… so I've been sharing a room, in which I wander around half-naked, and have been burping and performing other bodily functions in front of a woman for the past two weeks…?"  He inquired with a frown

"Yea… it's definitely been a learning experience" she commented.  

"I see… now could you explain to me again, why? And also how I mean if you're a girl shouldn't you… you know…"

"Have breasts?" she finished for him.

"That... and like curves and stuff…"

Usagi heaved a sigh, "the why has to do with that story I told you earlier. I'm an orphan, and I wanted to get the best education I could and well St. Joseph's is the best."

"I see… you know you are going to be in sooo much trouble if Admin. Finds out…"

"Yea... but they won't."

"Not unless I tell…" he commented with a grin

"Are you going to?"

"Hey, if you sleep with me… I won't say a word"

"If you do that, I'll tell everyone you are gay."

"Go ahead babe, it's a liberal world we're living in... besides I just say I'm bi, and more attracted to girls... and everything's great again." 

"Ass" she muttered

"No babe, that's you" he commented pretending to check her out.

"Ergh! You're insufferable"

"Come on Brandon, admit you it. You're at my mercy here" Mamoru half-joked

Usagi glared, "fine… now seriously are you going to tell?"

Mamoru pretended to be seriously considering the matter… "stay room-mate to a girl… or get her kicked out… girl room-mate, kick her out… as a red-blooded, loin-driven male I think I'm gonna keep the room mate" he stated

"Great… just what I always wanted, a sex-fiend for a roomie"

They laughed.

"So… how do you do it? Hide your chest I mean…"

"Oh that…" and Usagi pulled her shirt over her head, to reveal the white bandage which pressed her relatively flat chest, even flatter.

Mamoru stared in shock, not so much at the bandage, but at the creamy expanse of her rock-hard stomach, and the curve of her waist, then gulped thinking 'this girl's body is hotter than Brittany Spears'

"Yea... so that's how I do it" Usagi shrugged, slipping the shirt back on, oblivious to Mamoru's staring eyes.

"Wow, looks kinda painful…"

"It is, but hey, at least now I won't have to wear it as much. I mean… I can take it off in the room, and I won't have to worry so much about getting up before you."

"Well, I guess there are some benefits to me knowing"

A long silence followed in which the pair sat looking each other in the eyes, then as if they had both realised what they were doing, they blushed and rapidly looked away.

"Are you hungry?" Mamoru asked a couple minutes later,

"Um…more thirsty"

"Ok, then why don't we go down-stairs… and I'll show you where things are before I kick you cute little butt in a game of one on one out on the court"

"Kick my cute butt?" Usagi replied with a raised eye-brow, thinking is he flirting with me? "I think you mean before I kick your fine ass"

"Oh, so now my ass is fine, rather than annoying…"

"It being fine was never in question, nor is your "ass" annoying… just your inflated head"

By this time they'd reached the kitchen, and as Usagi leaned against he black-marble topped island which stood in the exact centre, Mamoru went over to the massive black fridge and removed a bottle of Ocean Spray cranberry juice.

"Hmph, just admit it…" Mamoru began, before stopping, a puzzled frown on crossing his features, "say… what is your real name?"

The blonde laughed, pulling the juice towards her, "It's Usagi you goose"

"Oh..." he replied blushing, "I guess I should have known that"

"Yea… now come on, are we going to play or what?" she demanded downing the liquid

"Hell yea, we're playing."  He replied, moving back into the front hall so they could retrieve their shoes before opening the closet where the basket ball was kept.

Then having everything they needed the pair exited the cabin, and walked down the paved road to where the basketball courts were located.  As they walked onto the court, Usagi looked at Mamoru and smiled thinking, I'm glad he's ok with everything… cause he really is a cool guy, (not to mention hot) yea... hot too… she repeated that thought and well, maybe, just maybe…

She didn't' allow herself to finish that thought. It was too crazy, too out there… After all, she was his room mate.
