Saris Yui-More dialogue? Okay, if you say so. Fan of Gundam Wing? Her powers will come into play soon.
Angel- Yup, I wonder not only is it distracting but have them thrown out the window and landing on your head is got to hurt a little. Ah, the guys, yes so many of them, well you can have them in your dreams right?
Alright the cold, aloof, distant one won. Go Kai. What is it with us? We like all the guys who have a warmth problem Kai, Sesshomaru, Hiiro (Heero), and others with the attitude of an iceberg. Go figure, we are all romantics at heart. Cynics, proud people, and such during the day, and hopeless romantics at night. (Shakes head.)

A tall elegant lady with short blonde neck long hair, and blue eyes of the sky stood anxiously waiting at the airport. Though she was not alone in her waiting, the PBA All-Stars stood with her, Rick holding the sign with Max's name on it. Judy, the woman, shuffled and bit her lip, the plane was an hour late. She mentally ran through all the things that could have happen, being as the past of the Blade Breakers were riddled with surprise attacks. Michael, who was the closest to her laid a calming hand on his coach's arm. "Easy Judy, I am sure Maxy-boy is fine, after all Usagi is keeping an eye on him for us." He reassured her and turned back to waiting for the airplane.
Perhaps Michael should reword that statement, Max was instead keeping an eye on Usagi. She laid gently curled up beside him, her golden head resting on his shoulder. One hand latched on his shirt, and her eyes tightly closed, sleepy mutters escaping her. He swept one hand through her blonde fringe, a tender smile on his face, a clearing of a throat caught his attention. He glanced up and locked eyes with Zin, his coach and Takao's brother. A small glare informed him that he should halt his ministrations. Max shrugged and smirked his indifference before looking around at his fellow teammates. Shingo sat next to Zin, his eyes glued to the window, viewing the outside. Takao was beside Kyouju bugging him on Dragoon's stats and wondering if they could increase them or not. After that was Rei and Kai, both were sitting in a complaintive silence their gazes far away, although Max could of sworn they both glared a him for a second. His musings were halted by a warm body practically crawling into his lap. Usagi had managed to escape the confines of her belt and wiggled into Max's lap. She was currently sitting in his lap petting his head and murmuring Luna's name. Max sweat dropped and glanced out the window, realizing they were close to their destination, he bent his head down toward Usagi's.
"Though, I am enjoying this, you need to wake up bunny." Max whispered playfully in her ear. Usagi moaned and shifted slightly, one hand wrapping benignly around his neck. He blushed when he felt heated gazes tearing into his bowed head. "If you wake up right now, I promise to get you a chocolate rose." He promised and watched amused as Usagi picked her head up quickly, sleep practically disappearing from her eyes. Feeling the extended warmth, her gaze caught Max's appeased ones, she blushed and ducked her head. "Good morning to you too, bunny." Max cajoled and Usagi hastily scrambled back in her seat. She buckled her belt quickly and kept her fire red face down for the rest of the ride. Max chuckled at her, and wrapped an arm around her, leaning his head closer to her ear. "Why so bashful now?" Max intoned playfully. Usagi's blush deepened as she glanced up, and balefully swatted at him.
"Attention passengers, please be ready for landing." The monotone voice spoke from the speaker in front. The landing was untroubled and smooth. Usagi quickly escaped from the plane when it landed, she was joined by Takao. Takao wrapped an arm around her as they waited for their peers, they were talking rapidly in Japanese as they saw many couples giving roses and chocolates to each other. When Takao asked what was going on Usagi responded it was an American holiday of love. Takao blushed, but playfully pecked her on the cheek, to add more fun to the scene he kneeled down and grasped her hand in his. Whatever he was going to say was cut off as Kai exited the plane and harshly knocked him on the back of the head. Takao tumbled dragging Usagi with him to the ground when Rei exited and caught her. Therefore leaving poor Takao to the mercy of the ground, and Daichi's taunts when he exited with Daitenji-san. Ojii-san followed with Zin, and rapped Takao on his head with his bokan. Takao bounced up and got into an argument with Daichi making a gigantic scene. Usagi shook her head and looked around her eyes catching on Rick and his sign. Usagi locked arms with Rei and led him toward the waiting group, they were followed by everyone else other then Takao and Daichi.
The commotion caused by Takao and Daichi did not go unnoticed by the PBA All-Stars, and Judy sighed when she heard the familiar voices. A head of blonde hair popped up into her view, and without really looking she grabbed said blonde in a welcoming hug. Usagi had been grabbed in a mother's hug who missed her son, and she was turning blue. "Gee, mom, didn't know you missed Usagi that much." Max teased his mother. Judy glanced down to the now blue Usagi and blushed. She patted the small girl's head, and rushed over to Max, there by squeezing the life out of her son. Max was now caught in the worrisome mother's hug, and Usagi chuckled.
"Max, where is my chocolate rose you promised me?" Usagi quipped and Judy stopped squeezing her son. She pulled back a bit and raised an interested eyebrow. Max blushed as his mother got that looked her eye when she thought of future grandchildren. "Max?" Usagi questioned as she saw his blushed deepen. Judy sighed and waved a hand under her eye a whisper of young love escaped her lips as she turned away. She ushered everyone into the waiting bus, as they quickly grabbed their luggage. Usagi walked closer to Max, and tilted her head toward him. "Max, are you alright?" Usagi inquired, and his blush deepen as he thought of his mother's reaction. Judy chose this instant to looked back and nearly wail in happiness, her son was growing up so fast.
At the house they were staying at Judy pointed out the guest rooms, keeping the Blade Breakers all in one wing, and Usagi right next to Max's room. Usagi shrugged while Max sighed at his mother's matchmaking. They quickly unpacked and Max prompted them to hurry so he could show them New York.
While walking New York, Takao suggested they split up, and with certain nods from the others Max raised no objections. Takao had dragged off Kyouju and Max had Shingo tag along with him. Rei waved off any company saying he had something to do, and Kai was heading off alone as well. Usagi would have none of that and quickly grabbed his arm waiting for the others to walk off before she could question him. "All right, you have been a little hostile in your silence, what's wrong?" Usagi asked the stony blue haired one. Kai motion nothing was wrong and tugged at his arm. "Nope, I am cashing in on that favor you owe me." Usagi quipped, and curled her arms around his. "Now, lead on, captain." Usagi murmured, and let her head rest on Kai's shoulder as they walked.
Kai said nothing as he lead them to a park where he normally trained when he came here. He was tightly wound at the moment fighting new emotions he had been dealt with. They all originated from the small blonde that rested on his shoulder, it produced an alien warmth. Still, he could not phantom the anger he had felt when she curled up with Max on the plane. Neither could he understand the same anger toward Takao's actions at the airport or toward Rei as he walked with Usagi to the car. Reaching the section he trained in, he glanced down toward Usagi.
Usagi looked up when Kai stopped and read his question in his eyes. She could feel all the emotions bubbling under the cool surface and knew he needed this release. Spotting a bench she unwound her arms from his, and walked over with a nod in his direction. Kai shifted in thanks and pulled out Dranzer, his eyes closing in familiarity. Without sound or command, he launched his blade, and with agile grace he performed a kata with his blade. Imagine Usagi's surprise when Dranzer was unleashed and his fiery phoenix form guided the blade he rid in. Kai maneuver his blade with his eyes closed in concentration, and missed Dranzer's actions.
Usagi gapped as the phoenix flew over and inspected her, before nudging her with its flaming head. She felt the ginzuishou warm, and could swear the bit beast smirked at her. Dranzer shrunk a little in form and alighted on her shoulder to watch his master. Usagi closed her mouth in wonder, also watching the Russian boy. She raised one hand to stroke the phoenix's head, an eyebrow raised when she saw Kai shudder. Dranzer trilled softly and urged Usagi to continue petting him, reminding her of a demanding child. Every time she softly petted Dranzer, Kai would react, and Usagi wondered how close the boys were to their bit beast. Her hand was halted in her thought, and Dranzer nipped at her, to which she chuckled and continued to pet him, as Kai instructed his blue blade silently.
Kai shuddered again when he felt a warm sensation spill through him. He had felt Dranzer release from the blade earlier, and circle it. He had long sense forgotten his audience, due to his complete concentration on his training. However, when another wave of warmth flooded him, he snapped his ruby-brown eyes open. Not seeing Dranzer over his blade, he searched and found his phoenix resting on Usagi's shoulder. He huffed in silent wonder, as her eyes were closed and she was stroking Dranzer's head. As her hand made contact with the phoenix's head, Kai felt warmth again and made the connection. He swiftly walked over, and gently caught Usagi's wrist, Dranzer trilled unhappily as Usagi opened her eyes. "Yes?" She questioned softly, her sapphire eyes boring into his ruby-brown ones.
"Dranzer." Kai quipped, for he did not know how to put his request into words. However, Usagi nodded in simple understanding to his wordless request. Kai thanked her with his eyes and gestured to his blade companion.
"Kai, can you teach me?" Usagi inquired. Kai turned curious to her request.
"Teach you what?" He asked, after all he was in her debt for today.
"To fight, and to blade." She answered. "I wish to understand you guys more, and I feel this is the only way." Usagi explained. Kai gazed down in slighted wonder before answering.
"No." Kai answered, watching as Usagi bowed her head, and Dranzer trilled harshly at him. "I mean not me, not yet." Kai tried to clarify his answer. Usagi picked her head up and gazed in curiosity. Kai gruffly sighed trying to place his thoughts into words. "My level and training is high, I wish not to hurt you." Kai breathed out, his thoughts bramble with his emotions. Usagi smiled in understanding, and nodded her head in thanks. "I will instruct Max to help you first." Kai intoned to her, since he was team captain. Usagi cheered silently and bounced up, hugging the surprised Russian boy. She blushed and unwound herself from him.
"I leave now if you like, so you can train undisturbed." Usagi softly murmured. Kai was going to nod in appreciation to the thought, but his mouth answered first.
"No, stay." He said, to his ears it almost sounded like he was pleading. He cast a quick glance to Dranzer and could swear that bit beast was smirking evilly at him. Usagi nodded thankfully and Kai resumed his training, his thoughts empty, but pleased. His training finished about thirty minutes later, and they met back up with the group where they had split before. Each of the guys held unmarked white bags, and Kai dragged the team off from Usagi to speak with them. In clear precise words he explain Usagi's demand from them in exchange for the favor they owed her. The Blade Breaker's quickly agreed, seeing no reason to deny the request. It would further their training as well, because being a teacher is normally the next step. Their conversation finished, Rei kidnaped Usagi from the group to spend sometime with her. He led her back to the park where Kai had trained, and also drew his blade. Usagi shrugged in exasperation, as she eyed the white paper bag Rei carried. Wanting nothing more then to peak in, she pouted toward, but Rei just shooed her to the bench.
"Since we are going to train you, I thought it best if you watch each of us train one on one." Rei remarked, his grin poking out with slyness as he saw Usagi eye his bag. "Tsk, tsk, I don't have your attention." Rei cajoled Usagi who pouted at his play. "Only good girls get to know what's in the bag." Rei informed her, watching as Usagi straighten and nod seriously in his direction. He laughed as he saw her eyes drift to the bag in silent promise. Driger hummed from his abundance of energy and he brought out his blade. "Eyes on me, bunny." he quipped, and then launched his blade. His eyes falling closed in silent rhythm to his blade's dance.
Usagi sighed, as Rei's green and white blade spun elegantly around the park space. She was again surprised when a tiger bit beast sprung from the blade. It eyed her curiously and stalked over, his neko eyes glowing impishly. Driger halted before Usagi, and brushed her hand with his nose. Usagi giggled quietly, and watched as Driger hopped up onto the bench. He pressed his nose to her hand again, and the ginzuishou warmed in response. Smirking with his tiger fangs poking out, he laid his head in her lap. Usagi laughed at him, and placed a hand on his head, rubbing a hand against his insistent head. She heard a happy growl from Driger and a soulful purr from Rei. Driger please with her ministration gently prodded her lap with his paws. Usagi chuckled again and rubbed his nose, eliciting a deep purr from both blader and tiger.
Rei blinked, his golden eyes searching out his bit beast. He felt another purr rippled from him, and his eyes fell on Driger. Driger was complacently lying in Usagi's lap as she petted the giant cat. Another stroke from her hand upon the tiger's head, brought Rei to a comforting conclusion. Briskly walking over he kneeled down, and caught Usagi hand. Usagi's sapphire eyes locked with Rei's golden orbs, as she laughed at the hazy gaze he shared with Driger. "You guys are really tied with your bit beasts." She stated, when she brushed Driger's ears, and watched Rei shudder in response. "How unusual." Usagi quipped, and placed both hands in her lap beside Driger's head. Driger nudged her whining a little in his throat. Rei shook his head and usher Driger back to training, before completely turning however, he gave Usagi a very promising cat-like smirk. Usagi raised an eyebrow at Rei's behavior, and shrugged when he turned back to training.
Rei's training over, he brings Usagi the bag and reaches into it. He brings out a small, soft plush, white rabbit, holding a white carnation, and Valentine's Day card. She accepts it gratefully and pecks Rei on the cheek. Rei smirks back in response and shakes his head, he quickly tilts his head capturing Usagi's lips with his own. As soft as butterfly wings, he nips her lips with his, and backs away. Usagi blushes at him, and he smirks, twining his hand with hers. They walked back to Max's with their hands entwined, and Rei's gift in the other arm. He lets her go with a nod, signifying a fight for her affections, but not forceful in his breach.
Takao meets them as they walk in as drags her off to eat lunch with him in the backyard. They share a small picnic and Takao introduce's Usagi to Dragoon. The tall, powerful, blue dragon, swirls around her, before shrinking and curling around her neck. Dragoon's serious eyes glow happily when Usagi stroke's his head ridge, the ginzuishou warming as well. Takao responds with a shiver at the wave of warmth and laughs. He gives her a small Dragoon stuffy holding a smaller white rabbit with a heart. Usagi smiles at him, and he quickly pecks the corner of her lips. Another nod signifying the same as Rei, and he escorts her in. While walking back in Usagi swears she sees a flash of blonde, and orange. Glancing up to the sky, she whispered in her thoughts. 'V-chan, are you playing cupid?' Usagi thought and swears again she hears her friend's laughter in her head.
Usagi spends some time with Judy, and Shingo baking cookies. Rolling out the dough, they sprinkling red sugar onto the cut-out hearts. Judy's pager interrupts their fun time, and she informs the household, something has come up at the research center. Usagi and Shingo nod, and continued to work on the cookies prior Judy's instructions. Kyouju calls to Shingo from the living room, saying his Okassan called and wants to talk to him. Shingo bowed his head and his mother's insistent worry, nodding to his onee-chan that he will inform mom that she misses her too. His conversation turns longer on the phone when he finds out his crush, Mika, is over there at his house. Usagi smiles secretively at her brother's flushed face. 'Go easy on him V-chan.' she whispers in thought.
Turning back to making the cookies, to hand lock across her eyes. "Guess who, bunny." A playful voice whispers in her ears. Usagi chuckles at the feeling of Max's breath on her ear, and she waves him off.
"Hi, Max, come to help me with the cookies, since Shingo ran off?" Usagi inquires, and feels Max nod from behind her.
"First though," Max says and turns her around. He presents her with a chocolate rose, twined with a white rose leaning against a card. "Happy Valentine's Day bunny." Max quips and hands her his presents. Usagi squeals in joy, and Max brings out Draciel, a black shelled turtle with purple skin. Draciel bows politely and nudges her with his head. Usagi pets him in hello, and her ginzuishou grows hot. Usagi places a concern hand over it, and could swear she feels a life force in it. She shrugs in off when Max leans over a places cookie dough on her nose. Usagi shrieks in surprise and him, swats at his playful countenance. He shrugs, leans over, and kisses it off. Smirking at her expression of shock and amusement, he leaves with a nod. Usagi finishes the cookies in a complaintive silence, wondering about the show of affections from the guys.
Judy returns, and quickly fixes dinner, to go with desert of heart-shaped cookies. Usagi tiredly walks up the stairs to the wing of the rooms, when Venus pops up before her. Winking, she casually pushes Usagi down the stairs, right into a surprised Kai's arms. "Sorry, clumsy me." Usagi tells him, sneaking a glare to where Venus once stood. 'Infuriating love senshi, I hope Ruka-chan hears about you.' She angrily thinks, as she turns her head back to Kai's. His cold ruby-brown eyes flicker, and he tucks a blue colored rose into one of her buns. Usagi absently wonders where he got it. Gently he carries her up the stairs, so she does not have any more accidents. Leaning against the doorway of her room, he places her down softly. His eyes follow her movements as she opens her door and begins to enter. Gently he catches her wrist and captures her lips with his, placing something in her other hand. As quickly as he moved, he is gone and vanishing into his room. Usagi walks dazed into her room and glances down at the object in her hand. A small angel figure made of glass rest there, her hands cupped. Resting in the figurine's hands is a large heart that says 'Happy Valentine's Day.'
Usagi easily places the figure down on her borrowed dresser along with the gifts from the other guys. Falling into her bed, her hands trace her lips, as she returns to each event with the guys today. Her eyes travel to the moon as she crawls under her covers. "Cursed Aino no Senshi." Usagi harshly whispers. In response she sees Venus's face pop up with a wink, and her trademark two-finger salute. "Venus, however, am I going to deal with my training now?" Usagi mutters, and sees her friend shrug before vanishing from her sight. "Stupid cupid." she murmurs as she falls asleep.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all, may it be filled with all kinds of love. I so want Fan Art of the scenes between the guys. Please? I mean they were so cute. Oh, and some of Usagi with the bit beast, please, please. You all know my e-mail, its in my bio. Oh, I don't remember who asked, but my messenger name is darkwolfstarblazingblader yahoo. If you wanted to contact me. I love this chapter, especially the scenes, but the stupid cupid comment seem to work so well. Oh, what about the ginzuishou's actions to the bit beast, I bet I have some of you wondering. By the way, most of the guys were not out of character, Max is flirty during and after G-revolution the same with Rei and Takao. The only one who might have been out of character was Kai. Alright I will stop rambling now. Please Review, and send fan art please?
Many Blessings,
Wolfchildblazer.
