Chapter Two: The nice guy, Akio
Usagi got home steal fuming about what Mamoru said about her. She was always very grumpy when she saw him but today he was really pushing her over the edge. She stormed into the kitchen and relaxed a bit, trying to think of something else.
'What's this?' She picked up a note from the kitchen table and read it out loud, wondering why her mother wrote in English.
'Ah she's trying to educate me with every day life….!' She whined in her mind.
"Usagi, Shingo and I are gone out for a bit. We are going to eat out for dinner, we will bring you back dessert. Love mom." Usagi sighed wondering why they didn't wait for her, but than again it was late. She headed to her room, feeling like it was so empty without Luna there. She knew that Luna would rather enjoy herself with Makoto, since she lived on her own; and would love Luna's company. She sighed once more heading towards the bathroom.
When she was all dressed and ready, she realized she had no where to go. She sat at the kitchen table feeling hungry, thinking about what she should eat. She remembered back to Motoki and what he said about making the best use of the time she had alone.
"Alright than, I'm gonna go out and have fun." She stood up feeling very confident and than quickly sank back into her chair recalling she had nowhere to go.
"I know, I'll just go out and something will come to me!" She smiled and hurried out of the house. The sun had set completely, leaving behind a dark blanket with little dots of stars. Usagi loved the full moon, it always made her feel so good, like all her troubles just packed up and flew off. She inhaled the air, starting to get in a better mood.
"Oh wow, everyone is out, and they're all in couples…" She cringed at all the happy couples walking arm in arm, laughing, loving; just plain enjoying their youth. Usagi's expression changed, she was annoyed and she quickly started to pace down the street. Suddenly all the lights went off. The crowd of people stopped wondering what happened to all the lights. A sudden flash of lightning freaked Usagi out and she turned slowly to look up at the sky in time to hear the thunder growling in the night's sky. The base vibrated her bones, rattling her sanity.
"AHH!" She screamed slowly trying to feel for the wall to get a sense of balance. She wanted to faint right there hearing yet another clap of thunder. But when she grabbed on, it was fabric that she felt. The lights went on. Usagi sighed, relieved.
"Ah are you okay?" A man's voice asked placing a gentle hand on hers. Usagi looked up to see the most handsome man she had ever seen. She blushed, feeling like such a loser.
"I'm fine, gomen." She removed her hand and bowed madly, not realizing how crazy she must look. The man laughed and insisted that she stop.
"It's okay, the dark freaks me out too." He smiled. Usagi could not believe such a good looking guy was talking to her. She was smiling shyly until another hard hit of thunder echoed in the sky. She jumped clutching onto the wall like a rip off version of spider man. He was confused by her actions, and she was horribly embarrassed.
"Don't worry thunder scares me too." He laughed gently, offering his hand. Usagi smiled, blushing.
"I'm Akio." He said shaking her hand. His smile was driving Usagi insane. She was lost in those beautiful grey eyes.
"I'm U..ah…oh yeh, Usagi." She felt like a complete fool. She pictured herself hitting her head over and over for forgetting her name.
"That's really pretty Usagi-san." He smiled again. Usagi didn't know what to say, all she could do was smile.
"Hey would you like to get something to eat with me, there is this new burger place around the corner? If you would like to? It just more fun having someone there to enjoy this kind of night with." He seemed almost shy and afraid to ask her out and his timid smile forced Usagi to not think twice about the offer.
"Yes I would love to." Her eyes bulged when she realized how desperate that must've sounded. He offered his arm and gestured the way. Usagi blushed, she was so happy, like she was in some kind of fairy tale. 'Oh Rei-chan is going to be so jealous when I tell her' she thought.

When they entered the burger place, it was not really too busy. Akio led Usagi to the counter looking up at the menu thinking about what he wanted. Usagi felt pressured, she didn't want to eat in front of him, she was worried that she would eat too much or look like such a little piggy. She trailed through the different scenarios she could land herself in if she ate in front of him, flinching at each one.
"So Usagi-san, what would you like?" His voice was so sincere and sweet, that she forgot where she was.
"I know, how about I just order a couple of orders of chicken burgers and fries and some drinks. Is that okay?" He asked hearing her stomach growl. Usagi covered her tummy hoping that it wasn't that loud. He smiled and insisted that he was very hungry too. Usagi smiled still feeling very embarrassed. When the food arrived they seated in a large booth.
'This feels like a date. I'm on a date with the most hot guy in the world.' She thought to herself.
…………………………………..
Motoki stretched out his arms. His fingers were in so much pain from writing so much. He looked around and noticed Usagi.
"Hey that's Usagi-chan." He pointed trying to see who the man she was sitting with was.
"Please don't mention her, I was just starting to get in a good mood." Mamoru begged looking through his text book with a slight smirk. Motoki's mouth fell open, his eyes bulged wide.
"Chiba, do you know who she's here with?" He was almost out of air trying to speak. Mamoru closed his ears trying to keep out Usagi's loud annoying laughter.
"She's so loud!" He growled trying to read.
"Chiba, chiba, she's with, she sitting with." Motoki was pointing towards her with one hand and waving the other hand in Mamoru's face, irritating him further.
"Motoki, who cares who she's with." He blurted out finally, cringing at yet another round of her annoying laughter.
"She's with Akio" Suddenly Mamoru became pale and he turned around quickly. He felt a strain in his chest, like something was tugging on him. He saw how much she was enjoying herself, eating away like some little piggy. His eyes narrowed at the sight of Akio smiling shyly. He turned around again confused.
"What she doing with him?" Mamoru asked. Motoki was extremely concerned.
"Chiba, we can't let her be alone with him." Motoki expressed finally finding some composure. He glanced over again, noticing that they were getting up and ready to leave.
"They're leaving together Chiba, we have to go after her." He started to pack up his things.
"That stupid Odango atama, she really is a odango atama" He growled trying to find the right words to express how mad he was at Usagi to be taken in so quickly.
"Chiba, he could really hurt her." Motoki continued to look at Mamoru, boring a hole in his head with a worried gaze.
"Fine." Mamoru finally agreed, and the two quickly packed their things and headed out. Mamoru didn't know why this was bothering him so much, he tried to convince himself that it was just because she was with Akio, and any other guy wouldn't have made him this way.
'Danm, why did it have to be Akio.' He thought clutching his fists. They headed out of the burger joint, looking around trying to spot Usagi, Mamoru was becoming more uneasy, his face was tensing up; he didn't like Usagi but for some reason, he couldn't let her be with anyone right now.
"There, I see her." He called out to Motoki after spotting Usagi's trade mark head popping down the street.
'Odango,…' he whispered.
