Don't own Sailormoon.
Ah... yes... the continuation of Scarlet, did I take long enough?
Enjoy.
After Mamoru's laughter had died down a silence took over the two, neither knowing what to say nor do.
"So… this regular thing for you?" questioned Mamoru, breaking the silence that had settled between them.
Glaring at Mamoru, Usagi tightened her grip on the jacket around her before answering between gritted teeth "No and get your mind out of the gutter too," sighing, she continued "And if you must really know, I was dared to."
Raising a lone eyebrow at this information he pressed on "By whom?"
"Who the hell do you think?" Usagi sarcastically bit back, rolling her eyes at his show of stupidity. When Mamoru's expression remained confused, she sighed again, "My friends…"
"Oh…," was his only response before his eyes left hers, looking towards the lake, silence settled over the two again.
Usagi's ears perked up suddenly, upon hearing a rustle coming from a bush close by. Narrowing her eyes, she slowly turned her head towards the offending bush, an evil grin spreading across her face.
"You," she said, taking a step towards the bush, "Give me my damn clothes back, now!"
Startled by Usagi's sudden outburst, Mamoru eyes returned to her small form; confused, he asked warily "Excuse me?"
"Not you, them!" Usagi replied, still glaring at the bush. She took another step towards the bush and pointed.
Mamoru coughed softly.
"Usagi," he hesitantly questioned, "did you take anything tonight?"
Usagi turned swiftly to face Mamoru. "Say that again…?" she said slowly to him.
Twitching nervously from the look Usagi was giving him, Mamoru swallowed hard before repeating his question again. "I uh… asked if had taken anything tonight."
"Taken anything," growled Usagi, stalking slowly towards Mamoru. "You think I'm taking drugs?"
"Uh..," stuttered Mamoru, starting to slowly walk backwards, away from the blond, "Maybe?"
Glaring murderously at the man in front of her, Usagi calmly asked again; "You think I'm taking drugs?" before growling dangerously and pouncing upon him, making both of them fall to the ground, Usagi on top.
"You think I'm taking drugs!" repeated Usagi, this time screaming and slapping at him hysterically, while he vainly tried to protect himself from her beating, as well as ignore the view she was giving him.
"Should we stop her?" questioned Ami in a whisper, watching as her friend repeatedly hit Mamoru.
Makoto, who had been watching in shock and amazement as her little leader attacked Mamoru, snapped out of her daze. "I don't know, Rei?"
"Yeah, I think we should try and stop her, before she kills him," said Rei, hurriedly standing. The rest of the girls followed suit before running towards their leader. Rei and Makoto each grabbed a hold of one of Usagi's arms each, dragging her off of Mamoru, who scattered quickly away from the seething blond.
"Let me go!" Usagi yelled trying to get free of her friends to return to beating Mamoru over the head for his dim-witted question.
Rei's grip slipped slightly before she tightened her hold on the thrashing girl. "Stop it Usagi, calm down!"
Giving one last growl the struggling girl stoped her erratic movements turning to face one of her so-called best friends, glaring darkly. "Give me my clothes Rei."
Rolling her eyes, Rei shot a quick glance over at Mamoru who was now standing with his back towards the naked girl, sighing she looked back at her friend giving her a stern look. "We'll let you go when you promise you aren't going to go psycho on Mamoru again."
Huffing angrily Usagi glared at the said persons back, wishing it'd make him burst into flames. When no such luck happened, she grumbled lowly to her friend, "Fine, I promise not to try and beat the jerks head into the ground."
Sharing a hesitant glance, both Makoto and Rei wearily let go of Usagi, letting Ami who had been standing off to the side come forth handing the girls clothing to her, who, though still wet from her swim in the pond, put them on hurriedly, sighing in relief.
Minako tapped the older mans shoulder lightly to get his attention. "You can turn around now Mamoru."
Nodding at the young blond he turned around slowly, facing a red faced Usagi who looked none too happily at him. Actually, scratch that, she looked down right murderously mad at him.
They all stood there a awkward silencing falling over the group.
Usagi because she was utterly humiliated about not being just caught naked by someone, but that someone just had to be her biggest enemy who had the gull to not only act like a jerk, but had the gull to ask is she was on drugs at such a time! The more embarrassed she got, the more furious she got with him as well, and her so called friends who had dared her to go skinny dipping in the lake which ended up causing her to show Mamoru more then she ever wanted him to by taking and hiding with her clothes!
Mamoru… well Mamoru was being silent because he had just witnessed a crazed nude Usagi jumping him on him. It wasn't every day that sort of thing happened to you.
And the girls, Rei, Ami, Makoto and Minako were being quiet because, though they had thought it would be a whole lot of fun to hide with Usagi's clothes, they never expected for Mamoru to come across her and all of the happenings to unfold.
Clearing his throat awkwardly, "Sorry Usagi… about what I said and all." He apologised only to receive a grunted reply of whatever from the young blond.
Chancing another glance at the seething blond who by now had taken her glare from him to the ground, he involuntarily gave her a quick look over. Looking away quickly with a cough when the vision of the curves now hidden under clothing that was burned forever in his mind came back to give his hormones a jump start again.
"Well," Makoto stated nervously. "It's pretty late, and we should be getting back to the shrine, don't you think?"
So with a few murmured yeas and an awkward goodbye between Mamoru and Usagi, the girls and Mamoru both went their separate ways for the night.
Once arriving at the shrine with a still quiet Usagi, they all changed and got ready for bed.
"Tonight was… interesting," said Ami, tucking herself securely into her blankets.
"You can say that again," giggled Minako along with the others except Uasgi.
"Oh don't be such a baby Usagi, it wasn't that bad, you don't have to be all sulky," Rei exclaimed sticking her tongue out at the silent girl then pulling a funny face until she started to join in with the laughing.
"I guess maybe, it was still embarrassing though… but the expression on his face is something I'll never be able to forget." Snickered Usagi, laying her head down on her pillow with a contented sigh.
The girls all exploded in laughter after a couple moments of reminiscence.
"I don't I've ever seen a guy blush so red!" Makoto sputtered, holding her stomach from laughing so hard.
"Yeah," all the girls agreed.
After the laughter in the room died down and all the girls settled down to sleep Usagi smiled a secretive smile to herself, starting to planning her revenge for her friends in her head.
"Goodnight everyone," she murmured before falling into peaceful sleep, idea's floating around in her head of what she would do.
Revenge always did have the sweetest taste there ever was.
And she was going to have a lot of fun returning their prank back to them.
'I always did want to try out that itching powder I got for my birthday after all.'
End.
