It's a Chibi-Usa bashing story for those of you that hate Chibi-Usa as much as I do. That little gakki deserves to die! Oh, and gakki means brat for those of you that don't know...
Usagi grinned triumphantly, holding up a batch of perfect-looking, steaming, heart shaped chocolate chip cookies. She knew they tasted good because Makoto had helped her bake them, giving her, her secret recipe. Usagi had followed it word by word and was extra, extra careful that she measured everything properly and mixed up the batter perfectly. She hadn't even mixed up the salt with the sugar! These would surely make Mamoru happy.
Giggling, she snidely looked over to her daughter's batch, and immediately stopped her laughter. Thin, flaky pastries, stuffed with a slim layer of toasted almonds, stood in perfection on the kitchen counter. It was baklava, one of Mamoru's favorite desserts. They took forever to make and was so difficult that even Makoto sometimes considered them a pain in the ass. Growling angrily, she slammed the cookies onto the counter, causing the heart-shaped delights to jump up before settling back down, and breaking into smaller pieces.
No matter what she did, the stupid little spore of a brat would outdo her. Chibi-Usa was cuter, much more adorable than Usagi's older features. Chibi-Usa was mature compared to Usagi's whining and crying. She was more graceful, she was more loveable, and she was just so perfect. Not only that, but Usagi's friends were even turning on her to support the gakki. Everything bad that happened around here always seemed to be her fault, whether or not she did it. She almost sneered in hatred, but caught herself in time and replaced it with a cheery smile.
"Mako-chan!" Usagi called out to her auburn haired, jade eyed friend. "I'm done with the cookies!"
"Hold up Usagi!" Makoto's rich, warm voice floated from the living room. "I'm helping Chibi-Usa arrange flowers for her visit to Mamoru! I'll be there in a sec!"
Usagi's eyes darkened into a stormy blue as she clenched her jaw. Anger rose in her veins, and she reprimanded herself for letting her control of her emotions go. That little annoying wench! Who does she think she is? Mamoru was her boyfriend, her future husband, and her future companion in rule. Chibi-Usa had no right to come back in time for absolutely no reason and ruin their relationship, which had been getting closer until she had come along! Taking deep breaths, Usagi buried her anger under her cheery, warm persona. When the house was empty, she'd need to throw a temper tantrum and break everything in her room. Thanks to her magic, she'd be able put everything back together before her parents found out what had taken place.
Echoing footsteps caused her to blink quickly and remove whatever negative feeling showed through her eyes. Her stormy orbs cleared and returned to the normal sky blue spheres. She replaced her frown with a smile and pretended to taste a cookie. Taking a big bite, she chewed sloppily, making noises of contentment and delight. Makoto giggled as she looked at the happy blonde and the site she made.
"Are they any good Usagi?" Makoto teased, her eyes sparkling.
"Mm, they're so good!" Usagi exclaimed. Her eyes fell on the baklava. "What's that thing that Chibi-Usa made? It looks inedible."
"It's called baklava," Makoto replied, happy to share the piece of information with Usagi. As if the blonde didn't know! "It's a Middle Eastern dessert. You butter and layer thin sheets of sweet dough and put this toasted almond mixture inside. It's delicious, but so difficult to make. I'm proud that such a young girl was able to pull it off!"
"Oh," Usagi restrained herself from rolling her eyes. Of course, Makoto would be oh so proud that the gakki would be able to do such a culinary achievement! What about Usagi's achievement? She had baked cookies and didn't get such wonderful compliments.
"Wow Usagi, you really did great this time," Makoto remarked as she popped a cookie into her mouth. "Mm, they're perfect. Even better than what I normally make. I'm jealous! Next time, we'll try you on something harder, like cake, and after that, maybe you'll be able to do something like baklava!"
"Really?" Usagi replied absent-mindedly. She put the cookies into a pink cellophane bag and tied it with a pale pink ribbon. Soon, Chibi-Usa came sauntering in with a beautiful arrangement of white, peach, pink, and yellow roses and carnations. It rested in a cute wicker basket/vase and had a flowered ribbon across the lip of the basket. "Wow, Chibi-Usa, that's pretty. Did you do it all by yourself?"
"Nope, Mako-chan helped me!" Chibi-Usa replied cheerfully, a grin appearing onto her face. "Mamo-chan will love it!" Usagi's eye started twitching. Mamo-chan was her nickname for her boyfriend, how dare the pink-headed idiot use it!
"Well, Chibi-Usa," Usagi practically spat out her future daughter's name. "We better get going. My Mamo-chan is waiting." With that, she took her cookies off of the counter and happily skipped out the door, Chibi-Usa following with yells, and leaving a very confused Makoto behind.
OoO
Usagi had a merry smile on her face, her 100 watt one, reserved just for Mamoru. She rung his doorbell, Chibi-Usa standing next to her, and was currently waiting for him to open the door. Her smile grew wider when her Prince Charming opened the door, revealing mussed raven hair and beautiful dark blue eyes.
"Hey Usako," he greeted, kissing her on the cheek before turning to Chibi-Usa. "How's my favorite little girl doing?"
"Good!" Chibi-Usa grinned and jumped into Mamoru's arms. He hugged her back before leading her inside, leaving Usagi outside. Grumbling, the blonde followed and sat down on the black leather couch, putting her bag of cookies on the coffee table.
"I made cookies for you, Mamo-chan!" Usagi offered Mamoru a cookie, who smiled as an uncertain look came over his eyes. "Don't worry, it's actually edible!" He accepted the offered cookie and took a cautioned bite, before his face lit up.
"Wow, these are great!" Mamoru hugged Usagi. "Thanks, Usako, I appreciate it."
"You're welcome," Usagi replied, hugging him back.
"Guess what I brought for you?" Chibi-Usa said in a sing-song voice. Mamoru turned to the younger girl with questioning eyes. She took out the basket of flowers and the tray of baklava. "Flowers and baklava!"
"Chibi-Usa, you didn't need to," Mamoru smiled at his future daughter, popping a piece of baklava into his mouth. "Goodness, Chibi-Usa, these are wonderful! I love them. How did you know that baklava was one of my favorites? And the flowers are just so pretty!" Mamoru gave Chibi-Usa a hug as she began yammering on about what was happening in her pathetic life, leaving Usagi in the dark. Mamoru attentively listened to the gakki, flashing Usagi a smile every now and then. She waited. And waited. And waited some more. After fifteen minutes, she stood up angrily and announced that she had to go grocery shopping for her mother before running out of the apartment. Mamoru looked concernedly at the door, but Chibi-Usa stopped him from going after her by stating that Usagi did indeed have chores.
OoO
Tears of anger pricked at the corner of Usagi's eyes, and she impatiently blinked them away. Chibi-Usa had no need to be here. She didn't need to be protected, in fact, there hadn't been any enemies since Galaxia had been destroyed. Just two months ago, the pink-haired spore had turned up completely randomly at Usagi's front doorstep, claiming that she was here for a visit and to make sure that things went right. Then, the brat proceeded to brainwash Usagi's family once again and take over her life. It wasn't fair. Usagi should be able to order her future daughter back to the future, where she belonged, but of course Setsuna had to favor her and insist on keeping the annoying little girl in her care. And now, Mamoru barely took the time to look at her, the senshi were too busy tending to Chibi-Usa's problems and wants, and her parents kept comparing her to Chibi-Usa.
Growing enraged, Usagi set her pace to a fast walk, intent on getting to the Crown Arcade to have a milkshake. That was one of the only things nowadays, other than chocolate, which seemed to calm her down. Lately, she'd been getting angry at everything, and it was not because she was having her period. She'd been bottling up her resentment, of course, considering the fact that her senshi would just reprimand her for being jealous of such a little girl. Like Chibi-Usa was little anymore. She was now 12 and as bossy, mean-hearted, and annoying as ever. She set herself to a jog, and then ran as fast as she could. The running helped let out her fury. Lucky for her, she was still as oblivious as ever, and managed to go crashing into somebody. Her eyes reflected her irritation as she looked up into cocky lime orbs. Her eyes lit up.
"Yaten-kun!" she shrieked, jumping up and throwing her arms around the famous Starlight. "Wow, you're back!"
"Usagi, I can't breathe," Yaten shoved Usagi off, but it didn't faze the young girl, since she was quite used to it. Usagi smiled brightly, causing Yaten to look at her in annoyance. "Why are you so happy?"
"Cause you're back! Is Taiki and Seiya here too?"
"Duh. Since when do we come without each other?"
"You're so mean to me!" Usagi exclaimed, pouting. Yaten smirked arrogantly, before turning to walk away. "Wait up! Where are you going?"
"What are you, my mother? I can go wherever I want to."
"Can I come?"
"Don't you have a date with your boyfriend or something?"
"No," Usagi replied quietly, turning her face away. He was probably busy with his brat of a daughter. Chibi-Usa got so much attention that it bugged her. Usagi began wondering if her senshi would even notice if she left. Probably not, Usagi thought, and the realization brought tears to her eyes, which Yaten did not miss. His eyes softened ever so slightly.
"What's wrong with Mamoru?" Yaten interrogated in his usual highfalutin voice. "Is he bothering you?"
"It's not him," Usagi sighed, wiping away her tears. "It's Chibi-Usa."
"Come on," Yaten replied gruffly, walking away. "Seiya and Taiki are better at handling damsels in distress than I am."
"No Yaten," Usagi sighed, walking alongside him. "I don't want the entire senshi team knowing that I've got beef with my very own daughter. Besides, I don't know why I even told you. I just hope you won't tell anyone else."
"Like I have the time to be spreading your business across the face of the earth."
"Like you would, being one of the Three Lights and all," Usagi replied just as cockily, eyes sparkling. "Hey, Yaten, I'm kinda out of money since the senshi forced me to spend my allowance on Chibi-Usa for being mean to her, and I'm really hungry…"
Okie dokie, Yaten is in the picture! Oh, don't worry Mamoru and Usagi fans, they'll still be together! After I put Mamoru through emotional anguish and have him begging at her feet, of course... lol. Well, it's going to be Usa/Mamoru unless you guys want it to be a Yaten/Usagi... I'll have to see about that... Hmm, interesting. Maybe I'll have them both kinda fight over her. Who knows? Please leave a review! I only keep up popular stories since I have so many plot bunnies...
