This is my first fanfiction so it will probably be pretty rough. Leave the stone throwing until after this chapter is out:dodges stones: Hey! I said after!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or any of its characters because if I did, there would be no Chibi-Usa. Annoying little rat… :)

No Angel -ElysianJude

Usagi turned the invitation over in her hands and sighed. "I can't believe that Minako is getting married!" She exclaimed to herself. It felt like only yesterday that the two girls were running to catch the last bell for high school and now they were both out of college and Mina was getting married! Usagi smiled to herself when she though of her good friend. She had met Malachite a handful of times when they would visit her in America. He seemed a bit too serious for the fun loving, outgoing Mina but the look in his eyes when he would look at her best friend warmed her heart. He definitely loved Mina a lot and hey, opposites attract.

Usagi placed the invitation in her purse and looked around her small apartment. She had everything packaged up and ready to go. She was taping up her last box when there was a knock on the door. "The movers, finally!" Usagi exclaimed. She opened the door to find her neighbor Naru instead of the movers she had hoped to see. "Hey Naru, what's up? You're early."

"Hi Usagi! I know I'm early but all I was doing in my place was pacing around and I wanted to see if you needed some help."

Naru had been Usagi's saving grace in America. She was also from Japan and came to live in America to study at NYU like Usagi. They both graduated at the same time with Usagi majoring in Marketing and Naru majoring in Art. Now that Usagi had graduated she decided to not stay in New York like Naru and wanted to go back home to be with her family and friends. It was a good plus that Mina was getting married. Naru was going to stay and try her luck at being an artist.

"Thank Naru. I have everything packed up; I am just waiting for the movers who are taking forever!" Naru looked at her friend with sympathy and a little sadness. She didn't know what she would do without Usagi there. Usagi had been such a breath of fresh air through their years at NYU. Grant it, she wasn't much of a studier and had the appetite of 10 starving men; but she was the nicest and warmest person Naru knew. All of Naru's friends said that Usagi was someone special. With her long silvery blond hair, beautiful peaches and cream complexion, and sunny disposition, she would make some guy a good wife. Naru was pulled out of her thoughts by Usagi staring at her intently. "What?" Naru asked. "Whatcha thinking about Naru?"

It was now Usagi who looked at her friend with a little sadness. She was going to miss the red head who had made her life in New York so much more fun. From Naru's constant pushing for her to do her studies and helping her cram to showing her all that New York had to offer. She loved her friend and made a mental note to keep constant touch when she got back home.

"Oh nothing, I'm really going to miss you Usagi! Good luck back at home with your new job!"

"Thanks Naru! I'm so nervous but I'm going to give it my all."

Usagi had just gotten a job at Chiba Incorporated. Apparently the head of the company was some big hot shot around Japan. Malachite was the head of the Marketing department. It was kind of cheating that she knew someone at the company but hey, he didn't have to give her a job! Usagi was caught off guard when Malachite even offered her the job as marketing coordinator. Not many big companies gave newly graduated college students any job besides an internship. Apparently the CEO, Mamoru Chiba, trusted Malachite's judgment greatly. He was also Malachite's Best Man at the wedding, with Usagi, of course, being the Maid of Honor. Usagi happily accepted the job though and was going to start in a few days.

"I know you will Usagi. When does your plane leave again?"

"My flight leaves at 2:30 so I want to be out of her by noon. I hope the movers get here soon!" Usagi looked down at her watch and say that it was 11:45. Stupid movers, there so undependable!

Five minutes later, with a knock on the door, the movers showed up. Once they moved all of her things onto their truck, Usagi and Naru hopped into Naru's car to head to the airport. Usagi had so many butterflies in her stomach as she and Naru drove to the airport. She couldn't believe she was leaving the city that she called home for the last 4 years. Yea, New York could be overwhelming but it had a certain charm to it that Usagi had learned to love. She would miss it.

Naru pulled up to the drop off at JFK and got out to help Usagi with her bags. Usagi had only packed 2 suitcases to bring with her, the rest of her things were being shipped. Once the bags were on the curb the two friends looked at one another.

Tears started to well up in Usagi's eyes as she looked at her friend. She couldn't believe she was leaving! "Oh, Naru, thanks for everything! You are the best friend anyone could have. Good luck with your art!"

Tears streamed down Naru's face as she looked at her friend. "Good luck Usagi, I know you will do well. I'll miss you!"

"I'll miss you too!" The two girls hugged each other tightly. As they parted, Usagi gave Naru one of her price winning smiles and turned to walk into the airport. With a wave Naru walked into her car. The tears had not stopped and she quickly got a tissue out of her glove to clear her eyes and blow her nose. For some reason, she felt so lonely now that Usagi had left. She never realized that Usagi had such a cooling calm effect on her. She definitely was someone special, Naru though.

"Hey, Lady! You can't park here, keep the traffic moving!" A burly cop yelled at Naru's direction.

'Oh go to hell you fat cow!' Naru thought. She looked once more at the doors of the airport and seeing Usagi safely inside she drove back to her apartment.

Usagi walked up to the ticket counter and waited in line. She dug in her purse for a tissue to wipe her eyes. She was going to miss Naru more then she thought. With a sigh, she walked up to the next available Kiosk to get her ticket. 'What happened to talking to people to get tickets?' Usagi thought. 'These stupid things are so confusing to me'. After throwing some curse words at the machine and showing it her fist, Usagi felt a presence behind her. "Can I help you miss?" She stiffened when she felt arms circling her waist. Who the hell! Usagi turned around to quickly slap the offender when her wrist was caught by a strong hand. She looked up into a pair of dark blue eyes of her ex-boyfriend. "Seiya? What are you doing here?" Usagi was so shocked to see him she didn't know what to think or do. They hadn't talked in a month because they had both decided to mutually call things off. To Usagi, there just wasn't the connection she was looking for in Seiya. She loved him and she knew that he loved her but that he also felt the same way. Something was off when they were together. However, whenever he kissed her she would absolutely melt. Seiya pulled his arms away from Usagi's waist and she immediately missed their presence. Despite being excited to be going back home she was very apprehensive about how things would go. She needed some support before she left.

"I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye. I know were not together but I just wanted to end things on a good note between us." Usagi smiled at that. Seiya could be difficult at times but he was sweetheart to Usagi.

"Could you help me with this stupid thing Seiya? I can't get it." Usagi stuck her bottom lip out in a pout that made Seiya smile. "Sure, let me take a crack at it." After pushing a few buttons Seiya passed Usagi her tickets. They started to walk hand and hand toward the security gate.

Seiya looked at his ex-girlfriend out of the corner of his eye with a bit of sadness as they walked. She looked so beautiful with her sundress that hugged every curve on her body. God, those curves drove him nuts. All he wanted to do was take her back to his apartment and convince her into staying in New York. Flashes of their nights together came into his mind but he quickly pushed them aside. It broke his heart that things didn't work out. He knew that even though he loved her with all his heart, they weren't right together. There breaking up was harder then he thought it would be and he decided that they should separate to make it easier. Coming to the airport was as much a surprise to her as it was to himself. He didn't think he should come but he couldn't have her walk out of his life forever without saying goodbye. He lightly brushed her cheek with his hand. Usagi turned to him and smiled. Her smile…melted his heart. Damn fate for not making things work.

As they reached the security gate, Usagi let go of Seiya's hand and turned to him. "I'm glad you came here to say goodbye Seiya." Usagi gingerly put her arms around his neck and played with the hairtye that held his unruly, long hair in tact. She didn't know why but she really needed a kiss from Seiya. He seemed to sense what she wanted and he couldn't deny that a kiss is what he wanted too. He leaned down as Usagi got up on her tip toes and lightly brushed her lips against his. Their kiss was sweet but filled with so much emotion. It was unfair that their relationship didn't work, Usagi thought. As Usagi parted, she pulled her hands away from Seiya's neck and brushed her hand against his cheek. "I'll miss you Seiya, take care of yourself". "You too, Odango. I love you." Usagi smiled at her hearing him use her nick name. "I love you too." With a small wave she got in the security line and gave the attendant her passport and ticket. After going through security she looked back at Seiya to see that he had all ready left. Wiping a tear away, she started to walk to her gate.

Outside Seiya blinked away his unshed tears and headed to his car. He felt oddly cold as he walked despite the summer heat. He couldn't believe his Odango had left. He missed her all ready. He felt like the hold she had on him was gone.

Usagi walked toward her gate and looked at her watch. Forty-five minutes until her flight would start to board. She quickly walked toward the magazine rack to pick up some magazines for her trip. Going to Japan was such a hassle and the flight was really long. She purchased a couple magazines and put them in her carry on bag. As she walked out of the shop she felt the vibration of her phone ringing in her pocket. She pulled it out to see that it was Mina calling.

"Hey Mina. What's up?" Usagi answered.

"Hi Usagi, are you on the plane yet?"

"No, it doesn't leave until 2:30."

"Oh, ok. Um, there is a little bit of a problem but I have a solution!" Mina exclaimed hoping her friend would not get too upset.

Usagi sighed. I mean, she wasn't the most dependable but Mina was much worse. Giving her the benefit of the doubt she asked what the problem was.

"Oh it's not big deal Usagi. I just won't be able to pick you up at the airport like I had hoped." Mina quickly went on so her friend wouldn't be able to say anything. "I have a match today that is really important and I totally forgot about it."

Mina had just gotten into a Vollyball league that she absolutely loved. It wasn't anything professional but she loved it none the less. Malachite didn't mind as long as Mina was happy. Usagi thought about this and it actually wasn't as bad as she thought.

"Oh Mina, I thought it was something more serious then that. I don't mind. I can take a cab home."

"No, I have all ready arranged a ride for you! I was telling Malachite about this problem to see if he could go but he was busy as well. However, Mamoru said he would be able to do it because he was going to pass the airport on his way back to the office from a meeting." Mina silently crossed her friends and prayed that her friend wouldn't mind getting a ride home from someone she had never really met even though he was the Best Man at the wedding.

"Uh Mina, are you aware that I have never even met this guy and you want me to ride in a car with him alone!" Usagi couldn't believe her so called friend. Ride in a car with a guy she never met? No thank you. So he was in the wedding and a friend of Malachites but she never even seen a picture of this guy.

"Don't worry Usagi, he is the sweetest guy." Mina hesitated before saying. "I just want to let you know that any rumors you may hear about him aren't entirely true!" Mina, for the second time, prayed that her friend wouldn't get too upset with what she just said about her driver.

"What rumors?" 'This is getting better and better' an upset Usagi thought.

"Oh nothing really, I mean, you know papers just try to bring people down."

"Oh, Mina shut up and tell me!" Usagi exclaimed.

"Okay, well he kind of has a bad reputation with sleeping around. I mean, he can't help it if he's one of the sexiest bachelors around and women throw themselves at him!"

"So Mina, let me get this straight. You're having me get a ride with a gorgeous man whore!" Usagi sighed. She knew Mina meant well but come one! She would be better off in a cab.

"Don't worry Usagi, I'll tell him to be on his best behavior!"

Usagi thought for a moment and realized that Mina would never put her in a bad situation. "Okay, okay Mina. It's fine, don't worry. I'm sure he won't kill me or anything so I will give it a shot. Besides I should get to know the guy who is part of the wedding too." Usagi heard a high squeal of her friend over the phone and yanked it away from her ear.

"Thanks Usagi! You're the greatest! Everything will be fine! Have a good flight!"

"I will. Bye Mina."

"Bye Usagi."

Usagi placed her phone back in her purse and sat in a chair outside her gate. Mamoru probably wasn't as bad as Mina said. I'm sure he is a nice guy; I mean he did give her a job at his company. He also was picking her up at the airport. Usagi was sure that they would get along fine.

I LOVE Seiya but I am a big sappy loser when it comes to the relationship between Usagi and Mamoru. That doesn't mean that Seiya will only be in this chapter, I kind of want to throw him in later for shock value. This story is going somewhere though I promise! I will probably get the next chapter up soon because I don't like to work when I'm at work. I know I have a problem with switching from third person to first so bear with me. Any comments or feedback you can give would help greatly! I didn't touch on Usagi's secret but it will be address in the next chapter.
