Chapter 7 : Falling in Love All Over Again
The week flew by like a simple blur in time and Usagi found herself getting ready for her "date" with Yugi's counterpart, Yami. Smiling to herself in the mirror, she thought back to when she had first seen Yami. She had been dancing against Johnny Steps, and won. Of course, Johnny had thrown a hiss-y fit like a toddler before he stormed away. But she had caught Yami staring at her after the dance. She remembered feeling like she had known him at some point in time, but wasn't sure as to just where she recognized the young adult-looking teen.
She skipped into her walk-in closet and began digging for a suitable, comfortable outfit for a supposed date.
'Thank Goddess Puu is a fashion designer! I have no idea what I'd do without her!' 1 she mentally cheered as she pulled out a black spaghetti strap dress with a silver corset on the outside of the dress, creating a boost in her chest while showing off her tiny torso and sliming her waist with black-silver lace attached underneath the corset. She slipped it on and tied the front of the silver corset with the black silk ribbons together tightly. She ruffled the lace gently and stared at herself.
A burst of giggles came out of her mouth as she realized that none of her planetary senshi would have ever seen her dress the way she was dressing these days.
She then stared at her tresses that cascaded to the floor like a waterfall of gold and silver. She ran a hand through them, pondering what she should do with it. She then rummaged around for her disguise pen. With a cry of triumph, she flicked it into the air and shouted, "Lunar Disguise Pen! Place my hair into a chic style!"
When the disguise pen was done, her hair had been pulled back, twisted and held up by a silver banana clip. Several braids were weaved through and the rest of her hair fell in soft curls to her waist. She beamed to the mirror and dug around her closet for a pair of shoes. She came across a pair of silver metallic ballet flats with black ribbons that she could wind up her legs to her knees. She grinned, slipped them on and tied the ribbons tightly.
She painted crimson lipstick on her lips along with black eyeliner and black mascara on her eyes.
Glancing one last time in the mirror, she grabbed her keys, purse, cell phone and a black choker with an eight-pointed silver star in the center. She placed the choker on before practically running all the way to where she and Yami were supposed to meet - the ancient library; just to be on time. To her disappointment, Yami wasn't there. She poked around a bit before fidgeting nervously in the front of the library's stairs.
"Hey baby," came a deep voice that she instantly knew it didn't belong to Yami. Before she could turn around and give the guy a piece of her mind, she felt his hand grab her round derrière. She grabbed his wrist and sunk her silver painted nails into his skin. He would've immediately let go, but she whirled around to round-house kick him in the face. Her sapphire-silver eyes flashed black as she glared at the poor soul who had inappropriately touched her. She hissed venomously, "Never try to pull a stunt like that again. Or so help me Selene, I will see to it myself that you are permanently never able to have children."
The guy was smart enough to take a hint; because as soon as Usagi had let go of his bleeding wrist, he bolted away from her.
At that moment, Yami ran up to her, a hidden worry buried in his crimson eyes and asked her if she was okay. She nodded mindlessly and wrapped both of her arms around his waist. He gently wrapped his arms around her; unsure of what else to do. He placed a butterfly kiss on her forehead. She seemed to melt into his embrace.
"So Usagi-san," came Yami's soothing deep voice; Usagi felt her knees give way, "where are we going?"
She looked up at him to beam and chirped happily, "Just Usagi or Usa-chan, mk, Yami-chan?"
A pink-red color crept across his tan face, but he nodded in response while holding her up. She smiled and planted a crimson kiss on his cheek before releasing him. She slipped her delicate, pale hand into his fairly-large, tan hand as she tugged him to her favorite coffee shop.
"Let's go to Silver Rose Café 2, first," she said sweetly and then asked, "is that okay with you, Yami-chan?"
Yami nodded and gently held her hand as he walked behind her.
After eating lunch, they wandered aimlessly around the town. Usagi accidentally bummed into a tiny blonde with glasses covering her blue-green eyes, while she held onto Yami's left arm as they were headed to the museum. 3
"HEY!" cried the girl, before Usagi could apologize. "You should apologize, blondie!"
Usagi's sapphire-silver eyes widened to the size of saucers and she subconsciously held onto Yami tighter, "I'm so sorry! I'm new in town and my boyfrie--…"
"YUGI!" the girl cried and latched onto his other arm. "How are you? What are you doing? Where are you going? What is SHE doing with you? I'm your girlfriend, right? What's going on?"
"LET GO OF MY BOYFRIEND BRAT!" Usagi cried, eyes darkening to an onyx shade appearing to be an abyss.
The girl turned her undivided attention to the silver-gold haired girl on Yami's other arm.
"Excuse me? Yugi is my boyfriend!" she screeched in an annoying high pitch.
Usagi let a giggle escape her lips as her attempted to cover her mouth with her hand. She hid her face behind Yami as she ended up in full-blown laughter. When she had finally calmed herself down enough to speak, she said, "This is Yami Nemesis, kiddo. And YAMI is MY BOYFRIEND. Now run along and play with your dolls, honey."
"WHAT?" sputtered the blond haired girl. "First of all, I'm a COLLEGE student, not a kid, blondie. Now, where's YUGI?"
Meanwhile Yami was mentally speaking with Yugi. When they had come to an agreement of where he was, Yami took the opportunity to speak, "He's attending a conference, right now, Rebecca."
Rebecca looked sheepishly embarrassed and immediately let go of Yami.
"You sure don't act like you're in college," Usagi mumbled softly. Yami clamped his hand over her mouth before Rebecca could hear the rest of Usagi's sentence.
"C'mon, Usa-chan. We're late to see Ms. Ishtar," he said aloud and wrapped an arm around his 'girlfriend' before quickly walking away with her.
Yami pulled her aside in the garden they were walking, leaving Rebecaa to find her way. The garden lead to the museum. When they stopped to peer at the flowers, crimson clashed with sapphire-silver.
"Did you actually mean that?" he asked softly as his hand cupped her cheek.
Usagi's face appeared mystified. The tips of her ears burned red as she sputtered out, "What?"
Yami sighed and hugged the petite tenshi around her waist. She buried her face into his black tank top and carefully avoiding the chains connecting to his Millennium Puzzle. Her slender arms snaked their away around his neck. The silence of the garden consumed the two.
"Yes," she murmured into his shirt, after a seemingly eternity of silence pasted between them, leaving them to their own thoughts, "I meant it."
She didn't realize he had heard; but knew he had, when he kissed the top of her forehead. She smiled and looked up at him. She cocked her head to one side and wondered what it would be like to kiss him. She blushed and Yami's black eyebrows raised. She stood on her tip toes as he leaned down. Their lips met in a sweet and soft; yet remarkably eloquent, kiss and their tongues dueled for control. They slowly broke away, cheeks flushed pink and their lungs slowly began to fill with air.
The moment was ruined when a screeched penetrated the air.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!"
People began scattering like bugs from one particular area and claiming it was the end of the world. Shouts of incoherent things were heard as a loud rumble echoed throughout the normally calm city of Domino.
Usagi let out a deep sigh, before swiftly pecking Yami's cheek, leaving a heart shape in red on his cheek and ran into a nearby alley to henshin. Yami carefully watched her as she transformed and ran off to fight. When she began fighting, the yoma multiplied into four yomas.
"COSMIC GALATIC OBLIVION!" she cried, pulling forth her staff from her space sub pocket and hurling the attack at two of the yomas.
Neither of them had time to react when she attacked two of the yomas head on, only to be attacked by the other two yomas. Her body collapsed in a heap on the ground and Yami immediately was at her side.
"DEADLY SCREAM!" cried a voice from on top of the building.
The purple blast destroyed two of the yomas and the remaining yomas turned in fury and rage to look up their new attacker.
With two clicks of her knee high black boots announced her presence on top of the building. Yami turned his gaze and looked up to study the new senshi.
The new senshi was dressed similarly to Sailor Cosmos, only she had several differences in her fuku. She had elbow-length white gloves with three black rolls on the top and in her hands was a fairly large staff that resembled a key with a heart and garnet gem in the center of the heart, on the top. She was dressed in a white body suit with a black sailor collar and skirt. A dark red bow was in the center of the chest with a maroon compact in the center and a matching bow was in the back attached to the skirt. A maroon colored choker was wrapped around her neck. Her dark green hair was swept in a single bun on the back of her head. A gold tiara with a dark red garnet gem was in the center of her forehead.
Her crimson eyes narrowed at the two yomas, her voice was extremely calm for someone who was engaging in battle, "This ends now."
The yomas immediately attacked her as if she was bait on a hook line for fish. Yami watched from afar with Sailor Cosmos in his arms, bleeding and unconscious.
Sailor Cosmos had barely gained consciousness when the yomas fluttered to dust with the senshi's attack.
"Puu…" her voice was softened but blood trickled out of the edge of her mouth. 4
"Cosmos-chan, you shouldn't be speaking," Yami reprimanded her. She just gave him a bloodily smile before passing out.
The new senshi approached him.
"Greetings, Yami-ouja-sama. I am Serenity-hime's fifth guardian, Sailor Pluto. Please excuse my leaving so quickly, but tell Serenity-hime that I stopped by and wish her the best. Thank you, Yami-ouja-sama." 5
In a quick flash of black and dark red, the Meiousei no Senshi disappeared, leaving only the trails of dust in her wake. 6
Chapter 7:
1 'Thank Goddess Puu is a fashion designer! I have no idea what I'd do without her!'
HINT: Setsuna wanted to be a fashion designer. Next chapter, the spotlight will focus on her.
2 Silver Rose Café
HINT: This is going to have something to do with Makoto.
3 Usagi accidentally bummed into a tiny blonde with glasses covering her blue-green eyes, while she held onto Yami's left arm as they were headed to the museum.
laughs I really had fun with this entire scene, even though you do not catch the brat's name until the last couple sentences.
4 Puu
I think the nickname actually was shortened from "Puruutuo," but nobody can be certain. Chibi Usagi is the first character to call Sailor Pluto "Puu," so I thought it would be okay if Usagi were to use the nickname.
5 Yami-ouja-sama
Ouji actually means 'prince,' but I could not find the word for 'pharaoh' so I subtutited it with prince. Happy? Good.
6 Meiousei no Senshi
The Sailor Solider of Pluto.
