Summary of Fic:
Usagi left Tokyo after the defending of Matalia. Mamoru and Usagi never
really got together. The two decided to simply let things be. If they
were meant to be together, they will be together either way. Usagi come
back in two years for university. OOC
AN:The reason I didn't add another chapter until now is due to the research I did on Japan/UT to make this story better, more real.
UNTITLED - CHAPTER THREE -
"I decided to double major in Chinese and International Business concentration in Marketing." Usagi said. "Both the School of IB and The School of languages are located on the Nakano-ku campus. That's a good thing, since it's located in Nakano-ku, so no need for long distance classes."
"Still where will you live? Is it to assume it's only you coming back to Japan?" Makoto asked.
"Hai. It's only me." Usagi answered. "Shingo wouldn't come back to Japan unless it was vacation. He likes the way of things in The States much better. He's more Americanized while I'm more Japanese. He fitted in much better than I did. I suppose that could be due to the fact he's much younger than I am. Of course, the easy laid back way of school would be another." Everyone giggled when Usagi said that last line.
"Anyway, I will move in with my cousin."
"Cousin?"
"Yeah. She's quite famous for her ability to play the violin you know. I'm sure you have heard of her, Kaiou Michiru."
"Kaiou Michiru? NO WAY!" Rei yelled out, then sweatdropped when she realize what she did
"Uh, yeah." Usagi sweatdropped. "Well, she's really more of a second cousin - once removed, but still a cousin."
"Is she also mixed? She look likes it." Ami asked.
"She is mixed. She's half Japanese, half French." Usagi said. She has a house in Azabu. I will be living with her there. Along with a few other girls."
"But earlier you said something about hotels." Mamoru said.
"Oh yes. I will be living in a hotel for a few days. She is having the house fixed up. It's been a year or so since she lived in there. The housekeeper Rosalyne will have to clean it up, along with the cleaning crew before we can move in."
"Still, you could live with one of us until then. Hotels are expensive." Minako said
"That's the other thing. We live in the Meiou Hotel"
"That's VERY expensive." Ami said.
"It would be for most people. However, Meiou is related to us. I mean, we are family, so all those relatives don't have to pay. But even as family, we feel bad staying for free. So there's an unspoken rule that family who go to a Meiou hotel would pay $20 US a day for each room we use. So, when you think about it that way, it's very cheap."
"That would be cheap." Mamoru said.
"How come you never told us about all that?" Rei asked, a bit anooyed at all the connections Usagi seemed to have.
"We never come across it. Truthfully speaking, we all don't know that, much about each other. We are best friends, but eve then, there are lots of things unsaid between us." Usagi said. Everyone bobbed their head in agreement.
"So how come you came back when summer just started? You won't be starting school until September, and it's only July." Minako asked
"Why? Aren't I welcome?" Usagi asked, making a fake pout face.
"NO NO, of course not!" Ami said, afraid Usagi was gonna start wailing. Everyone else agreed as well.
"I have a summer job." Usagi answered
"Teaching what?" Rei asked in a teasing voice.
"English." Usagi replied. "It's a summer course offered to high school and middle school students by the UT. The course is been taught a number of people like me, who are mixed and are fluently in both Japanese and English. One of the girls is actually someone you all know."
"Who?" Ami asked.
"Molly Banks. Also known as Osaka Naru" Usagi said. "She's pure American, but has lived here in Japan since she was a kid, like me."
"But she's till in high school."
"It doesn't matter. So long as you are 15 teen or older, you can be part of it, so long as you meet the language requirements. If you think about it, I'm really supposed to be in high school still."
"She has been involved in the program since the summer she turned 14. At the time, she was only a part-time. She volunteered to help with various activities. It's a very interesting summer course. I visited her a few times two years ago. When she found out I was coming back, she suggested to me about it. After a interview this morning as soon as I landed and dropped the stuff at the hotel, I was accepted for the position. If nothing else, the pay itself is attractive enough. It's $18 per hour of teaching. That's a lot more than most part-time job for teenagers in The States, since most only pay about $10 per hour top."
"So that's what you will be doing the whole summer?"
"Well, the programs doesn't begin for another two weeks, since the final exam was just over last week that would mean at least one more week of classes until summer vacation officially begin. It ends in a month, in the first week of august. So I have a full month for vacation and fun until the new school year begins in September."
"I've heard about that program. Is there still spots, do you know?"
"No, I don't know. I can ask for you though. I'm supposed to go in tomorrow to get known more about the whole program. I'll try to reserve a spot for you if there's any left."
"Thank you, Usagi."
"Do they only offer the program in English?" Minako asked curiously.
"I believe they actually offered it in many other languages. Italian is one of them. I know that because a friend, Ten'ou Haruka teacher an Italian course."
"Ten'ou Haruka? The race car driver?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, the very same one." Usagi asked
"Is he single?" Makoto asked excitingly.
Usagi sweatdropped at the word 'he'. "It's a she. Haruka is a woman. Her personality is boyish and she likes to dress in boyish clothes. I have never seen her in a skirt. And she's not single. She has a girlfriend."
"A girlfriend? Don't you mean boyfriend?" Rei asked.
"Um. No. It's a girlfriend. Trust me. I know." The other looked at her like she was crazy. "How is that possible?" Rei asked.
"Well, consider she's a lesbian, it's possible."
"A lesbian?" The girls all asked at once.
"Yeah. The media even knows about it. Don't you known who her girlfriend is?"
"No, should we?"
"It's Michiru."
"Your cousin Kaiou Michiru?" Rei asked.
"Yep. They are so cute together actually."
Usagi starts to giggle at herself. The other girls looked at her weird. "I was just thinking about when I first met her, Haruka. She's two years older than me. She was also taking the same Japanese course at ULA. She was flirting with me." Mamoru looked very mad at the idea of another person flirting with Usagi, even if that person was a lesbian." I thought she was so cute, as a guy. I didn't know she was Mich's girlfriend. So I flirted back with her. Later I blushed so hard when I realize she was a girl. It's even funnier when I met her with Mich at a family gathering about a week later after I met her."
Just then, a ring came out of Usagi's purse. Usagi dug her pink cell phone out, "What's up?...I'm still at the temple... Um, not yet. I will though. OK OK, gees Ruka, I'll do it soon. I think I need to have a conversation with Mich about you again. HA HA, very funny, NOT! All right, you know where the temple is, right? Ok then, see you in a bit. Drive carefully. Try not to kill anyone... Uh hun, you keep on saying that." With that, Usagi hang up. Everyone was looking at her. Waiting for her to explain. Usagi signed, knowing she needs to get onto explain that other reason she was back in Tokyo. The one she's dreading to talk about."
AN: I have a feeling this story will ger longer than I had planned.
Until Next Chapter.
