A stranger and a friend
First off; Apologies for the long suspension of my next chapter, I have been having a very long writer's block. Well no more babbling here's the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it.
Mr. Kurosaki ordered someone to close the curtains to windows so that it would be dark "Now lets discuss about the moon" he said as he slipped in some picture slot into the slot projector. Usagi was abit nervous about her teacher speaking about the moon "No it may be just nothing harmful" she thought to herself. "There are two theories about the moon" Mr. Kurosaki said as he switched on the projector, an image of the moon appeared on the white screen. "The first theories is scientific, for instance; the moon travels 27days, 7 hrs, and 43 min" Mr. Kurosaki explained as he showed a few images of the moon from an orbiting distance. Then he suddenly the slide revealed an image of all the ruins of the Moonkingdom on the moon. "My home, how did he find them" Usagi thought to herself. "And then there is the mysterious theories" Mr. Kurosaki started explaining "These photos were taken during a recent moon exhibition" he continued. Usagi was stunned to see someone like Kurosaki discovering what is left of her old home "No one knows the story behind these stone ruins" Kurosaki explained.
As the teacher continued to slide all the slides he was showing more familiar sights that Usagi recognized from her memories. "These ruins are very fascinating, but what is most fascinating is this" he said then showed an image of the same marble coffin that Usagi dreamt. Her memories of her dreams terrified her and comfort her due to the scary voice and the soft, comforting voice that spoke to her. Usagi recalled every part of the dream including the writing that was written on the foot of the coffin. "Lord of the Moon", "Trusted friend, beloved husband and beloved father of-" Usagi's thoughts stopped when one name blurted out of her lips loud enough for Yukio to hear her "Raion". "Hey, you better zip it or you'll get it" he whispered to her while nogging her arm, but Usagi missed what he said "What?" she asked after finally snapping out of it "Well, Miss Tuskino it looks like you have something on your mind," Mr. Kurosaki exclaimed with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes glaring at her. "Why don't you share it with us" he added with that same sinister voice, Usagi was trembling with his glare and she was unable to speak. Ever student in the room was silent and giving Usage a pitiful glare until Yukio stood up and spoke out. "Uh-oh! Professor Kurosaki you have rodents crawling all over this class, shame on you for running a class that is contaminated" Yukio expressed in a pleasant voice. For those students who didn't want to get into a battle with Kurosaki like Usagi they were stunned at the sight of Yukio's courageous and careless behavior toward their teacher. "How chivalrous of you Mr. Sumura" the teacher snarled at the young savior "Once again Miss Tuskino you have a young gentleman at present to rescue you" he added while glaring at Usagi. "Well professor with villains like you harassing young, beautiful maidens all the time, it makes the job a lot harder for us gentlemen" Yukio said as he stepped in between Kurosaki's glare and Usagi. Everyone gasped at Yukio persistent and opening insults to the professor "Stop it!" Usagi whispered to Yukio "Not until I hear the dragon has fallen" he protested to Usagi while still looking at the teacher. "Leave my class now!" Kurosaki ordered sharply, Yukio grabbed his bag and gave Usagi a wink with a smile as if he were indicating to her that he was going to be okay. "I'll forget this whole thing" Kurosaki finally said after he saw Yukio closing the door behind him then he glared back at Usagi and said "For now".
The class was finally over which made Usagi relived that she made it through the class, Kurosaki released the student. Usagi grabbed her bag and walked toward the door, as she did she turned to see Kurosaki still glaring at her. Usagi didn't want to even try to communicate with him right away because she was concern about Yukio. Suddenly Usagi was surprised by Yukio "Hey there! Did the dragon fall?" he asked as he approached her with the same smile. "He wanted to kill you" Usagi exclaimed with amazement and shock in her voice "Really? Then my mission is complete!" said Yukio his arms waving in the air with excitement. "SHH! Are you crazy or just eager to die" Usagi pleaded with her hands pulling onto his arm. "Ah come on, he asked for it and besides I am not afraid of him" he explained "Kurosaki lives off the fear and intimidation of everyone around him" he added as they walked down the hall toward the exit door. "Really?" Usagi asked as Yukio held the door opened for her "Yeah, that is why he looks up on everyone's records. He likes to see who is in his class" Yukio continued to explain to Usagi as they stood outside the exit door. "He looked up on you too?" Usagi asked in stunned voice "Yep, but lucky for me" he said then leaned to Usagi's ear and whispered "He's got nothing on me". Usagi was amazed at how confident Yukio was with their "Teacher from Hell". They walked over to a picnic table that was under a tree on the courtyard where it faced the streets.
They sat side by side quietly at first then Yukio asked Usagi "So who is Raion?", Usagi suddenly remembered that name and how she just said it during class. Yukio found himself in a silent moment with Usagi "Hey, you here?" he asked with a nudge on her arm. Usagi snapped out of her trance "Sorry, I know the name but at the same time I don't" Usagi finally answered with her head down looking at her hands on her lap. "What do you mean?" Yukio asked only this time with a serious and concern tone. Usagi was worried about revealing anymore information that she was suppose to be revealing to her friends and Mamoru "I-I can't tell you Yukio" Usagi said as she rose to her feet. Usagi watched Yukio bowed his head in shame "I am sorry" she said sadly "Oh you have a boyfriend and you should be sharing this with him, right?" he asked without looking so disappointed. "Well yes I do actually and I do also have to meet with him right now" Usagi explained as she grabbed her book bag and threw it on her shoulder. "Well at least you got him" Yukio said as he got on his feet smiling at her. "Thank you for everything" Usagi said with her hand extended to him for a hand shake. "That's the job of chivalrous gentlemen like me" he replied as he took her hand and kissed it like a knight. As they parted their separate ways, they didn't notice Raion watching them from across the street. He started following Usagi to where she was going to meet the rest of the Senshi and Mamoru.
Usagi didn't sensed Raion's presences from behind her which served a great purpose to Raion, Usagi stopped on the corner of a street and saw her friends through the window of Makoto's restaurant. She stood by and waited for the right moment to cross the street while Raion hid behind a post, finally Usagi walked fast off the side walk and onto the street. Suddenly from the corner of Raion's eye he saw a yellow jaguar was zooming straight to Usagi "No!" he shouted as he rushed to Usagi. She turned her head to see it coming towards her and she froze up soon she felt Raion grabbing her, pulling her into his arm and pushed her out of it's way. They both slid on their left side, Usagi panted in fear and relife then she felt a grown man's hands around her.
Usagi turned to look at the man that saved her, he rolled onto his back with his eyelids shut tight while groaning in pain "Are you alright?" she asked with her hands on his chest. Raion opened his eyes to see Usagi looking right at him and all his fears and concerns went away when he saw her blue eyes. His mouth fell opened and his eyes were twinkling like he was going to cry but he tried to hold them back. He had a desperate urge to take Usagi into his arms and feel her close to him without the concern of fast vehicle trying to hit her. "Sir, I said are you alright?" Usagi asked again this time with her hand on his, Raion only gazed at her delicate hands and stuttered. He couldn't find the words to express his sense of joy. "I-I'm so sorry about your clothes" he finally said when he noticed the dirt stains on his white jean jacket. Usagi was stunned to see a stranger for a second be concern for her safety then concern over dirty clothing "Oh that's alright, I can clean it" Usagi explained with a smile on her face. Usagi loved the sound of her voice and at the same time it sounded familiar to her. "I-I,..NO! No I mustn't stay I have to" he finally said, Usagi gave him a confused expression on her face. "Are you both alright" finally some the public bystanders asked them both as they approached them, at the same time Usagi also heard her friends calling her out "Usagi! You alright?" they all exclaimed as the ran to Usagi. Mamoru knelt next to her and cradled her in his arms "You okay?" he asked with his hands on her cheek "Yeah, I'm fine" Usagi answered "We saw what happen and we tried to get here fast" Ami explained for everyone. "It's alright guys but I am worried about him" said Usagi as she turned to her savior but he was not where he was. "Where'd he go?" Usagi asked out loud, none of the bystanders could tell Usagi not even her friends. "Who?" Mamoru asked with his hands still on her shoulders "The man that saved me" she replied while looking at them all. "What did he look like?" Minako asked "He had a beard, his clothes were dirty and he had these gentle eyes" the more details that Usagi was giving out the more Rei was recalling her brush with a homeless guy. "Wait a minute, he sounds like the same guy Yuuichirou and I ran into" Rei exclaimed while looking around to see if she could find him. But their was no luck "Damn it! He was right here" she added "You mean the same one you said has Usagi's star locket?" Makoto asked while Mamoru helped Usagi onto her feet. "Yeah" Rei answered calmly "Okay let's discuss this inside okay?" Makoto suggested calmly, as everyone walked into her restaurant Raion was back to watching from afar again. "I hope that wasn't a trap" he whispered to himself while watching Usagi and her friends settling down "That was too close especially with her" he said while looking at Rei.
