What Life Gave to MeChapter Ten:
" Status on the Maboroshi no Ginzuishou." Queen Beryl ordered as she sat on her throne in the dark. A figure in the dark stepped up.
" No news of the No Ginzuishou, but we picked up a new reading. Similar to the No Ginzuishou." Malachite said as he kneeled down on one knee, with his right fist against the floor.
" And what of it?"
" Seems to be that the reading, belonged to the new senshi, Sailor Moon."
" Ah, that pesky brat. She seems to have ruined our plans. We could have destroyed the other senshi but she stepped into the picture and made things more complicated." Queen Beryl's eyes danced with fire as she grew angry thinking about Sailor Moon.
Another form from the dark stepped up. " She seems to have gotten me confused with another person, when she confronted me last night."
" How so?" Everyone in the room set their gaze onto Jadeite.
" She insisted on telling me that she knew me, and that we were a team. I was confused for I thought she might be on our side. Then those senshi came and I left her to fend for herself."
" Oh really, that's all for now. Plan another attack tonight and pinpoint this girl's energy. I would like to meet her myself." Beryl grinned as she had something up her sleeves.
Usagi woke up as usual and did her same routine, school ended early since the school had a board meeting. Makato, Ami, and Usagi walked into the arcade bored out of their mind. Rei and Mina still had school so they were left wandering around.
" What do you guys want to do?" Makato had her head on the table mumbling.
" I don't know what do you guys want to do?" Usagi was playing with her fork twirling it around.
" You guys stop it, you guys look funny doing that." Ami said with Usagi just sticking her tongue out.
" Oh! I know what we can do let's go to my house! We can play DDR and play other games and watch movies." Usagi exclaimed.
" Awesomeness! How far is it?" They both said. " Not that far, maybe 10-15 minute walk."
They all walked out saying bye to Motoki, and after they passed the building they bumped into Mamoru. " Hey, where you guys going?" he asked them.
" We're heading to Usa's house. You going to the arcade?" Makato asked. " Yeah I was heading there, you guys need a lift? Usa's house is pretty far I don't know how she can stand walking that far."
Usagi just stuck out her tongue, and they all agreed to getting a ride by Chiba. Usagi ended up getting the front seat with Makato and Ami in the back. Everyone was just quiet except for Chiba and Usagi. Makato watched them talk and laugh and flirting but both seemed to be dense. Makato just smiled evilly. Ami caught her stares and smiles, and just laughed.
" Say Mamoru, how do you know where Usa-chan lives?" Ami asked.
" Remember I dropped her off after school one time?" Makato and Ami did the 'o' then laughed. Mamoru jumped out of his seat and opened the door for them and let them out. Mamoru was about to get into his car when they heard Usagi's mom yelled.
" Usagi! That's so rude! Let him in too! This it the second time he's given you a ride. Now please let the young man in!" Usagi sweat dropped and waved her hand to Mamoru signaling him to follow.
Everyone walked into her house and taking off their shoes and settling in her living room. They smelled fresh baked cookies coming their way with a pitcher filled with milk and glasses.
" Mom, I hope you don't mind them staying over for awhile, school got out early and we had no where to go." Ikuko just nodded her head. " Of course not baby! No please dig in kids!" She just smiled and turned her attention to Mamoru.
" Thank you for giving my daughter a ride, your name is?"
" I'm Chiba, Mamoru, nice to meet you." He stood up and shook her hand and smiled. She smiled and winked at Usagi. Usagi just let out a sigh and introduced her two friends.
" Mom this Kino, Makato and this is Mizuno, Ami." They both bowed and continued to eat the cookies. " If it's okay we're going to take these up to my room and watch T.V. there."
" Sure it's fine with me don't make a mess though." She continued to smile.
" Well I'll see you guys tomorrow, and it was nice meeting you Mrs. Tsukino."
" Oh please! You don't have to leave so soon, go on up with the girls and make yourself comfortable." She smiled and continued cooking in the kitchen.
" Sorry about my mom she's too cheery when she gets guests." They all laughed and followed her to her room while Makato, Ami, and Mamoru looked around the house.
They walked into Usagi's room and stared at her entertainment system and her stuffed animals and her books. Usagi took her bed, and Makato and Ami sat next to the red table, while Mamoru leaned against the door.
" Nice room, Usa-chan it's huge." Ami said while she walked towards her bookshelf.
" Yeah, it's so pink too," Makato laughed as she headed towards the entertainment system trying to figure out how to turn on some music.
Usagi walked up to Mamoru who was looking at her shelf full of albums and pictures or her and the boys. ' These men, they look like the.. No it can't be, or maybe?' Mamoru thought.
" Are these your friends back at home?" Usagi nodded as she pointed at them introducing who's who. Makato finally figured out how to turn on the music and came over to them.
" Hey can we get a look-see at your albums?" Usagi laughed and took one off the shelf. It was huge with a lot of decorations on it.
They all surrounded her as she opened it. Then all of a sudden they started to laugh, they saw Usagi in pink clothes with a shovel in hand at the park. They also saw other pictures of little boys that were hilarious. They turned the next paged and skimmed through until they got to some recent pictures.
" Wow, you guys seem really close." Ami said. " Yeah, ever since we were little."
Mamoru stared at a picture, it was a picture of Usagi and this look-a-like Kunzite. Kunzite err, Kevin had his arms around Usagi, both smiling. Then several more showed they hugging, and holding hands, and all those couple like things. He looked at her with sadness in his eyes.
Usagi felt someone staring at her, she looked up at Mamoru confused.
" Are you okay Chiba?" He said a lazy yeah, trying to cover up his staring. She just shrugged and paid attention to Makato and Ami who were asking about Kevin and her.
" You guys looked so cute together! Why'd you guys break up? What happened?" Makato asked, " Sorry I'm nosy." She stuck out her tongue.
" It's okay, well it's complicated. It was better to be just friends." Mamoru started to grin knowing now that she's single, but still jealous of this Kun er Kevin. They put the album away and popped in a movie, Van Helsing.
Then they heard a beeping coming from Ami and Makato. They sweat dropped and excused themselves and headed towards the bathroom. Mamoru looked at them and wondering if there was youma out again. He turned towards Usagi who shrugged back and continued watching the movie while throwing some popcorn at Mamoru. They both started laughing and started a contest on who could catch the most popcorn in their mouths.
Then Makato and Ami came in, " Sorry it was Rei and Mina asking where we were. Hope you don't mind that we invited them."
" Nah, it's cool. The more the merrier." She smiled and they all just kept on talking not paying attention to the movie.
" Ah screw the movie, we're not even watching it." Usagi turned it off and turned on some music from Utada Hikaru's new English Album.
" I'm bored, what should we do now?" Makato asked. Usagi smiled evilly and grabbed a pillow and threw it at Makato.
" Hey! What's that for? It's not even a sleepover! Ohh! I'm gonna get you back!" Usagi squealed and jumped behind Mamoru. Then SMACK it hit Mamoru right in the face. Everyone was quiet and watched the pillow fall down then all of a sudden Mamoru threw the pillow back but accidentally got Ami.
" AHH!" Everyone was screaming and soon it became war. Usagi had a pillow and sneaked up behind Mamoru, until Makato yelled out her name. She turned around and saw a pillow coming towards her; it was too late to dodge it. She collapsed on top of Mamoru and yelled.
" Ah! Something's heavy on my back! Get off!" Mamoru rolled around and saw Usagi right over his face so close that he could kiss her.
Ding dong! Mina and Rei rang the doorbell hoping this was the right house since Chiba's car was outside. Usagi's mother answered the door and greeted them with a smile.
" Hi, is this the Tsukino residence?" They asked, " Yes it is! Are you Usagi's friends?" She made way for them to come inside.
" Yeah we are, is she home?"
" Yes she is, she's with Makato, Ami, and Mamoru right now. Just go upstairs and follow the noise." She smiled and left for the kitchen again.
" Wow what in the world are they doing? It's so loud up there." Rei asked.
" Who knows." They stopped at the hallway and stared at a picture of Usagi and the boys.
Usagi and Mamoru just stared at each other, their legs tangled with Mamoru's hands around her waist. Usagi blushed, ' he looks so hot, and those lips.'
Then all of a sudden the door burst open and there stood Mina and Rei. Rei looked around the disheveled room, and her eyes fell on Usagi and Mamoru. Her eyes widened and her face grew red with steam coming out of her nose.
" Rei calm down! He's not even your boyfriend!" Mina tried calming down Rei.
Usagi stood up embarrassed, " Gomen-nasai Mamoru." She turned towards Rei and Mina.
" Hi guys, sorry the room's messy we had a pillow fight." She stuck out her tongue Ami and Makato were laughing their heads off.
" Well I should go now, let you guys have some girl time. Later guys!" Soon you heard Mamoru's engine turn on and left.
" So what do you guys want to do?" Usagi asked as Ami and Makato helped her clean up the mess.
" What was Mamoru doing here?" Rei asked as she was looking through Usagi's video games.
" Oh he gave us a ride to Usa-chan's house, then her mom insisted him on staying for awhile." Ami said, as she was reading another book as always.
' Hmph, Mamoru never used to give me a ride unless it was important and stuff, not out of the blue.' Rei made a face and grew angrier.
" Let's play DDR Max2! I'm good at it! And I choose Usagi to go against!" Rei exclaimed, ' HA, let's see if she can beat me!'
" Haha, sure I'm pretty good at it too." They were both getting hyped up, and chose Paranoia. Usagi and Rei were practically stomping on the dancing pads making the girls laugh their heads off. Usagi and Rei went on for three more rounds until they collapsed laughing.
' Maybe she's not all that bad, I guess.' Rei thought as she smiled at Usagi who got up to get a drink at the table. Mina and Makato got up and tried the game, they didn't know what they were doing and were way off with stepping on the buttons. They gave it a rest after 4 more attempts so they all sat around the table and talked while listening to BoA.
" So Usagi where did you live in the US?" Mina asked as she sucked the straw from her soda.
" I lived in LA, California, one of the heaviest traffic in the state." She laughed, they continued on talking until they heard a scratching on the window. They all looked and saw it was Luna and Artemis.
" Aww how cute! Did they follow you guys here?" Usagi got up and opened the window and let them in. The cats just plopped down under the window sill and watched the girls. Then the phone started to ring and Usagi got up to answer it.
" Hello? This Usagi speaking." She heard a very familiar laugh in the back round, she smiled.
" Hey Kevin! I know it's you!" The girls caught the name of who was on the phone and they started to listen to her.
" Hey, how's Japan treating you?"
" It's okay, but it's not the same without you guys! What time is it there anyway? Isn't morning or something?"
" Yeah actually it is, I'm getting ready for school, you know how I am. I'm used to calling you to wake up on time."
Usagi laughed, " Hey I resent that."
" So what are you doing right now?"
" I'm here with some friends we're just hanging out, you know girl time." She looked over to the girls and smiled. " Sorry guys, you don't mind do you?"
" Nah, it's okay, I'm gonna go downstairs and get some more food for us." Mina got up and went downstairs.
" Anyways, was there something else you wanted to tell me, because I know you didn't get up early to just call me." She heard Kevin laugh and heard the light switch turn on in the bathroom.
" Figures, you would notice, anyways guess what?"
" What? Jason actually getting a girlfriend?"
" Mmm, nope that'd would be something though, but seriously guess what!"
" What! Tell ME!"
" Me and the guys are coming there! During spring break! Awesome huh!"
" OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS! But spring break is a month more for you guys."
" Yeah but you better remember! Well I have to go bye Sere, I miss you a lot." Usagi just smiled.
" Miss you too, bye." Right when she hung up she started jumping and squealing and smiling. Before the girls could even ask they sensed an evil aura near, and had to leave.
" Sorry Usagi but we have to go, we'll see you tomorrow k?" With that they all left in a hurry.
