"Is Usagi-chan coming?" inquired Makoto spreading the muffins she had made out on a plate.

Rei sighed "I told her about it...but I don't think she'll come... she looked pretty out of it yesterday after she dropped Yu-"Yugi came in and looked at Rei waiting for her to say more but she didn't.

Minako and Makoto both got stars in their eyes.

"Wow... He's dreamy..." Mina whispered.

"He looks just like my old boyfriend..." muttered Makoto worse off then Mina was. Everyone else sweatdropped.

Ami spoke up interrupting Mina and Mako's ogling of Yugi. "Hello, you must be Yugi-san." she smiled brightly "I'm Ami and this is Makoto and Minako."

"Nice to meet you all." He blushed, as he was not used to being the only guy in a room full of girls.

You want me to take over?

'Yami!' Yugi blushed more and just as Yami was about to comment on it the door slid open. Usagi stepped into the all too familiar room and it went quite.

Yugi stared at the newest girl to enter. She looked familiar somehow like he had met her before. "Ohaio minna-chan..." her soft voice was sad "sorry I'm late..."

For once Rei didn't scold her for it 'am I that pitterful?' she asked herself in her mind but she smiled weakly at the bright ones she received. She saw Yugi again and bowed to him "Ohaio Yugi-san...Rei-Chan told me your story..."

Yugi bowed back, somehow she commanded allot of respect from him and he didn't know why. He couldn't help but think how pretty she was as he sat across from Usagi. Her gold hair and silvery blue eyes. Still a sense of de'ja'vu twigged in his mind as he looked into those sad eyes.

He didn't notice the girls discussing what to do with him. It had turned out that Rei had already done a fire reading getting no response. Ami scanned his puzzle but the data she collected was too much for her computer and it blew up in her face making everyone laugh except Usagi and bring Yugi back to reality. Now the conversation moved to where he would stay. He couldn't stay at the temple Rei was expecting people already to fill the rooms and the temple needed the money. Usagi spoke up for the first time since she had arrived. "I know where he can stay..." she didn't look up at any of them though the other girls seemed to know where she would suggest already and had looks of sympathy on their faces for a second. "Mamoru's apartment...he owned it and its only been empty for a little while...as long as you don't mind being alone at night Yugi you can move in there..."

The girls seemed about to argue but a black cat jumped onto the table "I think that's a very good idea Usagi-chan."

Yugi's eyes widened "Did that cat just talk?!" Minako grabbed Luna with her hand over her mouth "N-no, I was just practicing my ventriloquism. I love making cats seem to talk."she impersonated Luna's voice moving her jaw up and down "Hello Yugi! Yeah Usagi-chan that's a good idea..." she trailed off laughing nervously.

Yugi blinked and recomposed himself "I don't mind living alone because of Yami...but I would feel better if I had someone from this dimension with me..."

Usagi took Luna from Mina and hugged her close "You can have Luna stay with you if that's any better?" she smiled and Yugi blushed "y-yeah, thanks..."

Usagi stood slinging Luna over her shoulder and opening the door. "Well we should get going so Yugi-San can settle in. Can someone enroll him in our school I don't think we'll be solving this one any time soon..."

Usagi took a key out of her pocket and opened the door. Holding back tears with all her might his smell hit her. This was the first time she had been here since...and she cursed herself for suggesting she take Yugi here now. Yugi taped her on the shoulder and she realized she had just been standing in the entrance.

Quickly she moved inside and saw her slippers that she left here where still there. Swapping footwear she moved on towards his bedroom to clear away the pictures she knew he had in there, even if there weren't any anywhere else in his apartment he always had some in his room. Stashing them under the bed she moved back out to show Yugi around.

Once he knew his way around Usagi excused herself saying that she needed some air and went out onto the balcony.

She's going out there to cry you know Yami stated causally.

'Yami!'

It must have something to do with the previous owner of this place.

'Yami! Stop sounding so mean. Usagi-san is going through a rough spot...damn I really wanna know what's wrong...'

Don't ask her!

'No, I want to help her and I cant till I know what's wrong.' Yugi walked up to Usagi standing beside her on the balcony. "Usagi-san?" Usagi looked at him Yami had been right. She did come out here to cry but she didn't seem to care that he saw her do so anymore. "Hmm...?" she sniffed wiping her eyes.

She's cute when she cries

'Yami!!' Yugi blushed "Ano..."

Yami laughed at his double lightly.

"Call me Usagi-chan...Almost everyone else does..."

Yugi nodded "What happened to make you so sad, Usagi-chan?"

She bit her lip and took a breath. He didn't actually expect her to tell him. "Someone very close to me died a few months back..." What was she doing? She actually told him about Mamoru. She couldn't help herself, it just slipped. And more came "He was killed in front of me and I couldn't do anything about it..." she started to cry again now and she flung herself at Yugi crying into his shirt. Yugi's blush increased as she clung to him but he wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. He couldn't think of anything to say.

I figured as much...

'I'd be crying too if one of my friends were killed in front of me...don't be so blunt about this Yami...' Yugi heard Usagi hiccup and he let go a little too quickly to be un-obvious that he was imbarrassed.

Usagi hiccuped again and let go "I'm sorry Yugi-san..."she didn't look at him and was obviously embarrassed too. "Call me Yugi-kun..." he smiled down at her and had the urge to bring her back into the hug then shook his head to rid himself of it. What was he doing?! He couldn't think like that at the moment, he had to get home and if he made ties here it would make that harder.

The next day Makoto came to pick him up to go to school. "Ohaio Yugi-kun. We organized school for you so that we can keep an eye on you."

"What already?" he didn't expect them to be so efficient. "Alright, just let me get my puzzle and I'll come." When he came back his stomach growled and he sweatdropped laughing. Makoto held up a package and gave it to him "I love to cook so I made you breakfast." Yugi excepted it gratefully. He hadn't eaten since yesterday morning and was famished. Luckily there was almost too much for him to eat.

Yugi sat next to Usagi in class. She just stared into nothingness not really bothering anymore. Yugi found his work easy but he couldn't concentrate either. 'Poor Usagi...'

The teacher brought his ruler down on Yugi's desk and he jumped "Motou-san you are as bad as Tsukino-san!" Yugi bowed his head as he apologized and tried not to space out again.

Recess came and finally Yugi inspected his deck. Scanning the cards to find the most important one.

Scanning his deck three more times he started to panic and the girls looked at him in confusion even Usagi looked up. Inwardly Yugi felt proud that he got her attention too but finding his missing card was more important at the moment. "I can't find one of my cards!"

All the girls where there except Rei as she went to a different school. They all gasped. He had told them about the game.

"Come home with me after school and I'll help you look for it."

Ami, Mina and Makoto gasped again. Usagi was actually being social.

Yugi nodded and the rest of the day unsurprisingly went much longer then it should have.

They walked in silence to Usagi's house and Yugi's thoughts turned back to Sailormoon. He had to ask Usagi weather she knew her or not and if he could meet with her again.

Suddenly something shot at them and Yugi bowled Usagi over to prevent it from hitting them both. Yami took over and Usagi bit her lip conflicting emotions showing on her face. Finally she decided to see how strong the Youma was before she transformed and gave away her identity to Yugi.

It appeared nearby Yugi gasped "Dark Assailant!?" the deformed duel monster looked at him with hollow eye sockets the stone on his forehead glowing. Usagi stood up and pulled Yami away from it into another street, it followed and fired more daggers at them one hitting Yami grazing his leg and he fell. Usagi used this chance to run back past it luring it away from Yugi "Hey! This way!" it stupidly followed and Yugi watched the girl disappear round the corner in awe.

Usagi transformed when she was out of sight. The Youma growled and drew twin swords it slashed at her and made contact with her side instantly she moved to attack it and killed it in one hit. Yugi had taken over again once Usagi had lured the monster away and now he ran after her. Sailormoon turned to face him as he skidded around the corner "Sailormoon! Are you alright?! Where's Usagi-chan?!" she nodded but a red tint started to show under her hand staining her white leotard. He ran to catch her as she collapsed. Feathers surrounded her and then he was holding Usagi.
