Sorry I haven't written in so long! I'm gonna try to wrap this up in the next chapter or two, because I don't think I can prolong it much more. And it's not fair to you guys if I never update. So I'll try to finish this up fast. Thanks for all the reviews! And Sailor Millennium, I would love to help you if you still want it! If you could send me your email address again, that'd help, though, because I don't think you included the insert your host on it.
Usagi sat down to take a break from all the shopping, here bags of stuff pooled around her feet. Ami was collapsed on the floor near her in a stupor from too much shopping. Rei and Hoshi were passed out somewhere else, and Minako and Makoto were still shopping with about 5 attendants each following them around carrying bags from every store imaginable.
While they waited for Minako and Makoto, Usagi's cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Usagi? Get over here quick! Something's happened!" Mamoru's voice sounded panicky.
"What's wrong? Mamoru what's going-" she was cut off by the sound of him hanging up.
"Guys, I have to go. Mamoru just called, and apparently something's happened. I'm really sorry!" Usagi explained while she sprinted out to Mamoru's car.
Upon arriving at his complex, Usagi flew up the stairs, because she thought the elevator was being too slow, and when she entered his rooms, it was completely black.
"Mamoru?" she called, sounding a bit scared, "where are you? This isn't funny!"
She heard a door squeak open, followed by a couple footsteps, which stopped just outside the room she was in. She gave a little squeal and hid behind the couch. The footsteps began again, and came slowly towards her.
Crap! What do I do, what do I do! Usagi's mind was screaming at her. She couldn't run, but she couldn't hide much longer, either. I've gotta do it! I'm not gonna sit here like a coward and let this creep get the best of me, she thought.
Suddenly, she dove out from behind the couch, straight into the face of the mystery person. There was a brief struggle, in which Usagi kicked and bit her attacker, but she was eventually pinned in his strong arms. She continued to struggle, petrified in her fear, until she recognised something. There was a very distinct smell about this man (she could at this point tell that it was a man by his arms and chest muscles). It was that of fresh roses.
"M-Mamo-chan?" she whispered. He merely chuckled.
"Why, you baka!" she screamed, tearing away, "you jerk! Why did you do that? Are you trying to scare me to death? I thought that something terrible had happened to you after that phone call!" she pointed an accusing finger at him, before something occurred to her. "Hey, what was the big emergency, anyway?" she asked, cocking her head to one side.
"Well, I'll tell you, my dear, if you will put that accusing finger away," Mamoru said, grabbing her hand.
"Oh my gosh! How did you find my finger? You're blind! You have ESP, don't you!" Usagi gasped.
"No, no, nothing like that. You remember that medicine the doctor gave me to help my eyesight? Well, it worked faster than anyone would have guessed! I can see better than ever, now," he chuckled, kissing her hand, "and I must say, the view is very much improved."
"Oh, Mamoru, I'm so glad you're eyesight is back!" Usagi said, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him.
"Me too. Oh, sorry about the whole scaring you thing. It's just, I hadn't made you mad in a really long time, and I was starting to miss your angry face, Odango," he grinned, and grabbed both of her hands before she could punch him.
"Oh, you're rotten! But I must admit, it felt good to actually bite someone! It made me feel alive like I haven't felt since you lost your eyesight. I know, that sounds weird, but it's true."
"Yeah, I haven't been bitten like that since before I started being nice to you. I think you pierced the skin!" He said, examining his hand.
"Oh, quit being such a baby! Let's go tell the girls the good news!" she giggled, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the door.
"Not just yet," he said, pulling her towards him. He wrapped his arms around her, tilted her chin up, and leaned down to kiss her. He slowly brushed his lips against hers, and kissed her with a long, passionate kiss. "I love you, Tsukino Usagi," he whispered into her hair when they finally pulled apart.
Usagi could barely catch her breath. When she heard him utter that last sentiment, though, her heart stopped, and then sped up to double time. "I-I love you, too," she gasped into his chest.
"Now we can go tell the girls," he chuckled. She giggled, and they walked out of the apartment hand in hand. The End!
Okay, I know it was cheesy, but please review. Obviously, I ran out of ideas at the end, and it's pretty weak, I think, but I really just wanted to be done, because I haven't been good about updating. So please, read and review, even if it's a flame. Thanks for all your wonderful support! XOXO-Firnoviel
