The alarm clock rings bringing a hand out of the pile of blankets and slams down on top of it turning it off. The figure raises their head from under the blankets and blue eyes stare at it blurry eyed before groaning.

"Five o'clock already? Why do I have to get up this early again?" Usagi asks; flinging her blankets off in a flourish only to let out a groan when the injuries from the week scream from the sudden movement making her grimace slightly.

She sits on the edge of the bed in boxers and a white tank top when the door to her is flung open announcing Hotaru's cheerful presence. She sits down on the bed beside Usagi and nudges the growling blonde gently with a shoulder.

"I'll bet that you're glad it's the weekend, aren't you? After the week, you had, I'd be glad as well," the dark-haired girl states in a sing song voice that makes Usagi groan loudly.

"Why do you have to be so damn cheerful in the morning?" Usagi grumbles; getting out of bed and walks over to her dresser to find something to wear for the day.

"Well that's easy, because it's a beautiful day. The birds are singing, the air is crisp and there's nothing better than being up early to watch the sun rise," Hotaru retorts still in her sing song voice that makes Usagi wince slightly.

"Hotaru, it's the weekend. Did you forget what is going on this weekend? Does family reunion ring a bell to you?" Usagi asks from where she is standing, rooting around in her drawers for something appropriate to wear for their family gala while Hotaru grimaces at the remembrance of what today is.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Damn it, Usagi, you just had to rain on my parade, didn't you?" The girl asks before walking out of the room, but stops to look over at Usagi. "Dad says that breakfast is in twenty and that you should try to make it down before then. He wants to talk to you about something."

Usa lets out a groan then waves a hand at Hotaru to acknowledge that she heard her before walking over to her bathroom and tossing her cloths down on the hamper. She prepares her shower and for the day to come.

Once finished with the shower, she dresses in light tan slacks, a red long sleeved shirt with a black element t-shirt over it and black boots. She looks at herself in the mirror before raking her fingers through her hair then lets out a sigh before walking out of her bedroom and down the stairs to the dining room where she's met by Luna who grabs her gently by the arm and proceeds to pull her aside.

"Mamoru and his father are in there. Your grandfather has an announcement to make. He wouldn't say what it is though," she hisses in a whisper while Usagi's eyes narrow to slits.

"I swear if he makes me marry that pompous ass hole, I'm gonna leave this place so fast it'll make their head spin," Usagi whispers back to Luna while glancing towards the door and then back to the head maid.

"Don't worry. Ruka has already said the same thing when I warned her. You do have back up even if it will get them in trouble. No one will allow him to marry you, Usagi. Now, get in there before they wonder what's going on," Luna states before kissing her cheek and pats her on the back.

She watches her young charge go into the dining room with her head held high and stifles a chuckle while shaking her head. 'They won't know what hit them if they try to force her into this marriage. She's so much like her mother, god rest her soul.' She thinks to herself before going off towards the kitchen to warn the servers about the storm that is brewing while Usagi stands in the dining room looking around at the people gathered.

She growls under her breath, but keeps a stoic face when she notices Mamoru looking at her with a triumphant smirk on his face. She glances over at Ruka while walking towards her seat and notices that her hands are clenched so tightly together that her knuckles are turning white from the strain she's putting on them.

She smiles towards her father who smiles back brightly while she sits down in her chair and a server brings in her breakfast. She eats quietly, occasionally, she glances over towards her grandfather who is sitting at the front of the table. When he notices that she's looking at him. He puts on a small smile and nods his head towards her which causes her to raise an eyebrow, but puts it out of her mind while she eats her eggs and toast.

After everyone is finished eating her grandfather rises from his chair and looks at their guests sitting at the table before clearing his throat. "I have thought long and hard about what you have proposed Hiro, but I must decline what you are saying. For the simple fact that I don't have a granddaughter named Usagi Tuskino, but a grandson named Ren Tuskino. The girl that was promised to your son sadly doesn't exist for I believe it says on the birth certificate Ren Tuskino not Usagi Tuskino and it would not do for two boys to get married, now would it?" He asks a ghost of a smile playing across his lips before sitting back down. "You are excused. Please don't darken my doorstep ever again."

Genma and Mamoru Chiba both shoot up from their chair while Ruka, Hotaru and Usa share a smirk between the three of them. Genma storms out of the room while his son strolls casually out of the room, but stops and leans down to whisper to Usa.

"This isn't over. You haven't heard the end of this. I'll make your life miserable. You do realize this, don't you?" He asks while playing with the back of her neck which makes Usagi frown and jerk away from his touch.

"Oh, don't worry, Mamoru, I won't forget this at all and I'll make yours even more miserable," she whispers back with a sweet smile on her face. "Try me. You won't like it when I do. You aren't under my father's protection anymore because you were a possible suitor. My grandfather has made up his mind. You are free game now and you'll regret that if you live that long. So, I wouldn't be making promises I can't keep."

She winks at him before turning away and begins to chat with Ruka who is sitting beside her, letting him know that she has dismissed him as if he were no more than a common servant. He growls under his breath and storms out of the room leaving the smirking and hand slapping girls behind him.

Usagi looks down at her grandfather and lets a smile come to her face before turning back to Ruka and Hotaru once again. "So, are you two ready for your siblings and cousins?"

"Oh, don't make me laugh. I'm never ready for them," Ruka states with a chuckle before shoving some food into her mouth.

"Ruka, will you slow down. You aren't a friggin garbage disposal!" Hotaru retorts while slapping her sister on the arm.

"Buh ah'm a gwoien irl," Ruka states while her mouth is full which leaves Usagi and Hotaru looking at each other before turning back to the older girl.

"What?" They ask together with looks of disbelief when Ruka swallows.

"I said, but I'm a growing girl," Ruka answers before taking a sip of her tea.

"Ruka, you're older then the two of us. I think you're grown enough," Usagi states while waving her fork around to make her point which has Hotaru and Ruka backing away. "Oh, for the love of Kami, I only hit someone once with my fork and that was when I was ten. So just stop being so immature!"

Hotaru and Ruka look at each other and begin to laugh which makes Usagi roll her eyes and scoff before she starts laughing as well.

Down at the other end of the table Usagi's father and grandfather look at each other than smile at the happiness that is once again in the house. They both know that what they are doing is putting a lot of strain on the girls, but at the same time they know that it'll help them build better character and in the end, isn't that what all parents want for their kids, even if it is hard?

Later in the morning the trio had decided to go out for a walk to get away from the bustling maids and servants that were running around the rooms trying to get ready for their family reunion. Usagi and Hotaru were trying to read while Ruka was trying to watch T.V. and had been asked three times to move. They decided that it was time to get out there before they started to take pot shots with rubber bands or as Ruka had suggested, heavy books.

Usagi walks with her hands in her pockets between Ruka and Hotaru while they walk down the street. She had changed out of her good pants so as not to get her father upset with her and had on baggy cargo pants with a skateboard hanging out of her back pocket.

Hotaru looks at the skateboard hanging out of her pants and the belt that was barely holding them up. "Why do you have that again?"

"In case I get inspired and decide to do some riding," Usagi states with a shrug of her shoulders.

"How in the hell did you get that past Dad?" Ruka asks while walking with her hands behind her head.

"Why do you think I had you walk behind me and Hotaru walks on the other side of me?" Usagi asks with a smirk while the other two roll their eyes.

They continue to walk down the slightly deserted area for a while until they come towards a stretch of sidewalk that no one is using and a lot of benches. Usagi stops and her eyes grow wide at the sight of the perfectly cleared space. She pulls her skateboard wheel out of her back pocket then looks around before taking off down the side walk in a rush of air.

Once she has enough speed, she ollies up onto one of the bench and fifty-fifty's all the way to the next one where she jumps up and performs a perfect kickflip. She lands and continues down the sidewalk. She turns her head slightly to see Ruka and Hotaru shaking their heads before turning back in time to see someone in front of her.

"Shit!" She exclaims before putting her foot down to stop herself only to end up running into the person that was on the sidewalk.

She lands sprawled out on top of the person that she has run into. She reaches down to push herself away only to have her hands connect with a very soft chest. Her eyes grow wide, before she hesitantly looks down and sees hazel colored eyes narrowed in annoyance. She scrambles to her feet then looks around for her skateboard only to have a hand coming towards her face, but the smack doesn't land due to her quick reflexes she grabs the hand and pulls Rei closer to her so that they are now eye to eye.

"Let me go, you pervert," Rei yells; wiggling around in Usagi grasp trying to get away from her.

Usagi shrugs her shoulders as she lets go of the hand as Rei wrenches her hand away from Usa only to land sprawled out on the sidewalk once again. Usagi crosses her arms over her chest and stares down at Rei with her head tilted towards the side a bit. Rolling her eyes, she reaches a hand down to help the girl to her feet, but her hand is batted away by a sneering yet blushing Rei.

"Are you always this nice with everyone you meet?" Usagi asks; looking around again for her skateboard.

"Not to Hentai perverts that try to cop a feel after running a person over!" Rei spits out vehemently causing the blonde to roll her eyes once more.

"Look I didn't mean to run into you. You just sort of got in the way is all. I tried to stop. It wasn't like I meant to bowl you over, Banshee!" Usagi states with a frown on her face.

Rei gets up and brushes herself off before glaring at the young man standing in front of her and lets out a puff of breath before crossing her arms across her chest. By then Hotaru and Ruka came over just as Makoto and Minako were coming up from the other side of Rei.

The four of them let out a sigh when they notice the two-people squaring off in the middle of the sidewalk before rushing over to them before things got more heated, as it usual does when those two meet. It's like mixing oil and water, but which one was which they weren't sure of right now.

"What are you two doing now?" The four ask the other two at the same time then laugh quietly.

"He/she started it!" They exclaim together while pointing at the other one.

"He ran into me like some crazed freak then proceeded to grab at me," Rei states with her hands now on her hips.

"I did no such thing, you Banshee! I already apologized for running into you. You just came out of now where. Maybe if you were to get your eyes checked every now and then, you would've seen me coming, but no! You just stood there like some sort of... cow caught in a field of dreams!" Usagi states but backs away when Rei lunges at her.

"Take that back you damn hentai!" Rei screams while chasing Usagi around the sidewalk.

"Hey, if the shoe fits!" Usagi states while turning around to run backwards then sticks her tongue out at the furious girl only to be tackled by Ruka who pulls the taunting girl away from the dark haired one.

"I see what you mean," she whispers to Hotaru while leaning away from a struggling Usagi so that she can't hear her.

Hotaru rolls her eyes then looks over towards Rei who is being restrained by her none too pleased friends. She shares a look with Makoto and they both roll their eyes at the same time before looking towards their friend/relative.

Hotaru and Ruka bow towards the other two. "We're sorry for our nephew's behavior."

Minako and Makoto bow back. "Yeah, we're sorry for Rei's as well."

Usagi and Rei both turn to look at their group and frown. "Don't apologize!" They both exclaim at the same time.

"Well we better get going," Ruka states pulling Usagi away and thrusting the skateboard into her hands before pushing her along the sidewalk back the way they came.

Makoto and Minako wave towards them before pulling Rei away from where she was standing fuming. The two girls look at each other before looking back at Rei.

"You know, Rei, if I didn't know better, I'd think that you like Ren," Minako states with one of her eyebrows arched while they walk down the street away from the other three.

Rei stops in the middle of the sidewalk and stares at her friends while they continue to walk off down the street. "What? I don't like that, pervert!"

"Well, you have to admit your behavior has been stranger than usual and I've never really seen you so worked up over a guy before," Makoto states with a shrug of her shoulders after stopping and turns around to face Rei.

"Makoto has a point, Rei. You never acted this way around that jerk Yuuichirou and he was a pervert. You have to admit, it's sort of strange," Minako states before flicking her blonde hair over her shoulder before she looks towards Makoto and they start off back down the sidewalk.

Rei follows behind them with her head down. Is it true? Does she really like that bastard? No way. She's not that way. She shakes her head and tells herself that her friends are being baka's before running to catch up with them.

While on the other side of the sidewalk, going in a different direction Hotaru, Ruka and Usagi are having the same conversation.

"You got to admit, Usa, it's just strange. I mean, I've never seen you act this way with anyone before. Usually, you are so soft spoken and you get along with just about everyone that you come across, well, except for the boys at school who are trying to beat you up because they are so insecure," Ruka states with a slight smile on her face when she looks over towards Usagi who is staring down at her shoes.

"Look, I don't know what I get that way. She's just horrible. She totally rubs me the wrong way. I don't know," Usagi huffs out feeling frustrated by the whole ordeal that she's going through with Rei.

Does she really like her? Well maybe, but who could like her? She's just so horrible and awful and don't not forget that she's a banshee as well. So yeah, there is absolutely no way that she can like her, right? Usagi lets out a breath of air which makes her bangs flutter out of her eyes before looking over towards her Aunts who are looking at each other with knowing looks, which makes Usagi frown then speed up her walking.

"Come on, we've got to get back to the house. I'm sure that the party has started and grandfather is looking for us. We've been out to long as it is," Usagi states shoving her hands into her pockets and looking down at the street dejectedly.

"Look, it's alright. For what it's worth, she's one hot looking girl. You could do worse," Ruka states with a laugh before wrapping an arm around her niece's shoulders.

"Right. Sure, whatever you say, Ruka," Usagi states with scoff before shrugging the arm from her shoulders.

"Hey, I've got an idea. Let's go to the club. That always takes your mind off things," Ruka suggests with a wide smile on her face.

"Um, did you forget that you are meeting your intended, Ruka?" Usagi states with a smirk when Ruka's shoulders drop and a frown crosses her face.

"Don't remind me. I don't want to give up, Michi!" Ruka exclaims while rivers of tears run down her face.

Hotaru and Usagi grimaces towards one another, before they both try to comfort the very unmanly crying of Ruka.

"Oh, suck it up, Ruka. Maybe it won't be that bad!" Hotaru suggests, but that only makes the rivers run faster.

Usagi reaches over and slaps the girl upside the head and hisses at her. "Good going, baka!"

Hotaru rubs the side of her head and winces before sticking her tongue out at her niece then turns her attention back to Ruka.

"Look, who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be, Michi. I mean, dad knows how much you like Michi, so maybe he did something right and had it set up so it was like an arrange marriage, but really isn't," Usagi suggests while looking around towards Hotaru who nods her head in agreement.

"Yeah, who knows," Hotaru agrees before handing Ruka a handkerchief from her pocket to clear away the rivers of tears.

"You think so?" Ruka sniffs while whipping the moisture from her face.

"Yeah. Sure, I mean, anything is possible, right?" Usagi asks before they continue down the street.

"Yeah, anything is possible," Ruka agrees then strikes a pose and lifts her fist towards the air. "And if not, then I'll run away with my love and we'll live happily ever after!"

Hotaru and Usagi grimace again before rolling their eyes and continue down the street towards the mansion, leaving a still posing Ruka in the middle of the street while other people look at her strangely and mutter things about mother ships and drugs before continuing the way they were going.

Usagi lets out a sigh while all the relatives gather around her and pinch her cheeks, pat her on the head, tell her how much she's grown and much more embarrassing things before she's finally rescued by her Aunt Hotaru who smiles tightly at everyone and apologizes for taking Usa away from them, but she really needs her help with something.

"Thanks," Usagi whispers while they walk away from what she fondly refers to as the vultures.

Hotaru smiles at her niece before shrugging her shoulders and they make their way through the crowd to where Ruka is looking as if her puppy had been kicked by a very cruel kid while she looked on helplessly.

"Hey, Ruka, how are you holding up?" Usagi asks once she's seated by her Aunt who looks over at her with a sorrowful look.

"They are going to have me engaged to someone else. I just know it, Usa. They are going to make me give up Michi, just because of some stupid promise. Why do I have to live within this family?" She asks the ceiling that she is now looking up at.

Hotaru and Usagi share a look before they both clamp their hands onto Ruka's shoulders and pull her away from the chair and over towards where the older male of the household stands. Usagi stops Ruka from going over towards him and with Hotaru hot on her heels she walks up to her grandfather and asks him politely if she can speak with him. He nods his head with his eyebrow raised slightly, but bows before the man that he was talking to before going with his daughter and granddaughter towards the other end of the room so that they can't be heard while they talk with him.

"Grandfather, Ruka is very distraught. Could you please announce who she's going to be married to before she goes to pieces?" Usagi asks while looking up at her grandfather with pleading eyes.

"She's worried that she'll be marrying someone that she doesn't know, isn't she?" The older man asks with a stoic look on his face.

Usagi nods her head and looks over at the hand wringing Ruka off to the side. She's never seen her Aunt like this. Usually she's very together and a pillar of strength, but with the prospect of losing her love, Usagi guessed that it was doing some very uncharacteristic things to her sturdy Aunt.

"Alright, though I wish she wouldn't worry so much about this. I only have her best interests at heart, but if that's what she wants then I'll be glad to do so," he states before moving away from his granddaughter and youngest daughter to stand at the head of the room to make his announcement and to introduce Ruka to her future bride.

Hotaru and Usagi look at each other before moving over towards Ruka and take her by the arms again to move her towards where the older man stands for his announcement. He claps his hands together to get the attention of everyone in the room before clearing his voice before beginning.

"My family, as you know, I have been in negotiations for the arrangement of my second youngest son, Ruka. A couple of weeks ago, the family whose daughter will be marrying Ruka has agreed to the arrangement and I have asked that family to gather here tonight with us so that I might introduce, Ruka's bride to all of you," he states with a smile on his face before waving towards the door that leads to the hall which the servants open and stand away from it.

Usagi's mouth drops open when she sees who walks through the door and she nudges Ruka who is currently looking down at the floor, still wringing her hands together. The nudge brings her head up and a large smile spreads across her face when she sees who the girl and the family is, before breaking through the crowd towards the girl.

Hotaru and Usagi share a smile before turning back towards Ruka who is currently lifting Michiru up into the air and swinging her around before putting her down on the floor and kissing her gently.

"Well, he did say that he had her best interests at heart. Guess he wasn't just blowing smoke up our butts this time," Hotaru states while crossing her arms over her chest and watches her sister and soon to be sister in law staring happily into each other's eyes.

Usagi lets out a laugh before nudging her Aunt. "Careful, you're next. You might not be as lucky as Ruka is."

"Yeah, well, I haven't met anyone that I'm interested in either," Hotaru states in a scoff before moving off into the gathered crowd.

Usagi leans her head to the side and wonders about that for a moment, before shaking it and walks off after her Aunt while giving an excuse to each person that stops to talk to her.

"Sorry, going to help, Hotaru."

"No, I can't help with that."

"What? You want me to put in a good word to my grandfather for what?"

Usagi shakes her head when she finally gets out of the house. "Damn, Vultures," she mutters to herself before moving towards a tree that they used to climb when they were younger and tosses an apple back and forth that she had grabbed along the way.

"I knew I'd find you here," Usagi states while leaning against the tree trunk and continues to play with the apple.

"What do you want, Usa? I'm moping," Hotaru responds from her spot up in the tree.

"What do I want? Well, first I want world peace, then I want to be able to enter a real skateboard competition and win it. Then, after all that is done, I want to know what's eating you," Usagi states before taking a bit from her apple.

"Yeah, sure, dad and Han would have a fit if they found out that you entered a competition. Well any competition for that matter. You know how much they both hate you calling attention to yourself," she states with laugh.

Usagi laughs along with Hotaru before shaking her head. "No, really, what's wrong, Taru?"

"I don't want to get married, Usa. I don't want to get married and I don't want to get involved with the company. I don't have the mentality for that. I'm afraid that if I do get involved I'll end up ruining it," she states with sigh then shakes her head.

"Yeah, I can see it now, there goes the company," Usagi states before tossing her apple core towards the pond for fish to pick at. "You'll single handedly be responsible for bringing down the whole company within a matter of months."

Hotaru jumps down for her low perch on a branch and shakes her head at Usagi. "Why do you have to make a joke out of everything?"

"Because you take everything too seriously and worry way too much about the future," she states with a shrug of her shoulders and a smirk on her face.

"Yeah well, one of us has too, because you don't care at all!" Hotaru exclaims before ruffling her niece's hair and smiles back at her.

"Come on, we should get back before they form a search party and come looking for us and I have to endure more cheek pinching," Usagi states after swatting Hotaru's hand away from her head.

"Lead on, oh fearless leader," Hotaru states with a mock bow which results in a slight slap to the shoulder. "OW! You're so abusive to me! You should respect your elders!"

"You're only two months older than me!" Usagi exclaims with a scoff while the two girls walk back towards the mansion.

"Details, details. Spare me!" Hotaru states before ruffling the girl's hair again and taking off running when Usagi growls at her.

That Monday finds a droopy eyed Usagi and a cheerful Hotaru walking to school.

"Man, I'm so tired. I didn't get any sleep last night at all," Usagi states while pushing her bangs away from her eyes while Hotaru giggles softly to herself.

"Aww did widdle, Usagi, stay up all night. Nanami must've given you a real run for your money to stay up all night last night," Hotaru states innocently while bringing a hand up to her face to cover the grin that is shaping on her face.

"It so was not my fault that she came into my room last night! She's the one that wanted to do it all night long! Not me!" Usagi screams at her Aunt whose eyes grow wide before her face darkens to an interesting shade of red. She had seen Makoto, Rei and Minako walking towards them and they had waved towards Hotaru, but then stopped when they heard Usagi's outburst, their faces ranging from mortified to downright rage filled.

"Umm, Usa, could you do a favor for me and turn the dial on your volume to like, one instead of sixty-five?" Hotaru asks before pointing out the girls that are now walking towards them.

Usagi turns blood shot eyes up to see the girls walking towards them and in her sleep induced haze blurts out the first thing that comes to her mind.

"Hey, it's the ban..."

A book to the back of her head by Hotaru stops her from finishing her sentence and she turns around to face her Aunt with a hurt filled look on her face.

"Hentai," Rei states while the words that Ren had shouted echoes throughout her mind.

True to his word, Chiba Mamoru stood outside the school with a group of boys, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting Usagi. He wasn't about to allow that girl to get the better of him, but when he tried to tell the boys that he was actually a she they wouldn't believe him. They didn't think a girl could possibly be so strong and handsome but they liked his idea of getting back at Ren for all of his meddling with their women.

He would take what he could get though, so he decided that if he couldn't ruin her reputation at the school then he'd ruin her face. After all, what was anyone going to do to him? His father was the vice president at the largest company in town and no one was going to take him or his father on for that matter. So he feared nothing and knew that he would come out on top after making Usagi pay for her insolence towards him.

He had searched for years for Usagi's weakness, but so far, he had yet to find one. He knew that everyone had one, but he hadn't found it and was starting to think she may be an exception. Everything she did was from a stance of strength and confidence, from school to fighting. There was no one and nothing that could bring her down, but he knew that her luck would soon run out. It was just a matter of time and when that time came, he would be the one standing above her laughing.

Now he had a little under half of the boy population within his hand and he knew that he wasn't going to lose this time. With this much power behind him, he was going to win and put that bitch in her place once and for all.

The boys watched from their place, talking trash about Ren and about the girls that went to their school.

"So, I asked Stephanie out, but she said that she didn't want to go out with me and that she wanted someone that looked more like, Ren-sempai," a boy to Mamoru's left was telling his buddies while rivers of tears fell down his cheeks.

Mamoru reaches over and slaps the boy upside the head. "Shut the hell up. Do you want him to hear you if he walks by, baka?"

"No, Mamoru-sempai," the boy states while rubbing the side of his head.

"Good, now, shut the hell up before I shut your crying mouth up," Mamoru hisses out before going back to looking out for Usagi.

Mamoru lets out a sigh and shakes his head. Yeah, they were pathetic, but there's power in numbers.

"Let's move out. I see him," States Mamoru before they leave the alcove they are hiding in.

A ringing cellphone pulls Usagi out of her almost catatonic state while she walks with her head leaning against Hotaru's shoulder and she briefly wonders if someone will answer the annoying sounding cellphone for a moment while yawning.

She stops mid yawn when she notices that the other girls were looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"Are you going to answer that, hentai?" Rei questions with an annoyed look on her face then rolls her eyes at the surprised look on the boy's face.

Usagi lets out a quiet yelp when she realizes that it's her cellphone that's ringing and pulls the phone from her pocket and looks at it for a moment before raising an eyebrow when she sees the number that's on the id then flips it open.

"Yeah, hello?" she answers then blushes when she hears a deep voice coming through the cellphone.

"Well hello there, lover boy." The voice on the other end says in a sultry voice.

Her eyes open wide at that before she grumbles slightly under her breath.

"Nanami?" she questions in a whisper before turning away from the others while they stare at her with raised eyebrows.

Hotaru rolls her eyes when she over hears the voice coming from the other side of the phone then looks towards the others and sees their curious faces. Well, everyone except Rei who seems to be seething about something. Hotaru raises an eyebrow and shakes her head.

'If looks could kill, Usa would be dead by now,' she thinks to herself. 'What's up with that?'

"Yeah, I've just entered the gate and I'll be over to where you are soon. You've got something of mine."

"I do?" Usagi questions before raising an eyebrow then takes the phone away from her ear and looks at it. 'No, I don't have her cellphone this time. I wonder what it is.'

"Be there in a minute, lover boy."

'Oh goody," Usagi thinks before hanging up the phone, not noticing the look that she's getting from Rei now.

'He's nothing but a good for nothing boy. Always thinking with one thing,' Rei thinks while still staring at the baka of a boy with her arms crossed over her chest and her chin up. 'Probably making plans with his lover for another romp in the hay tonight.'

Minako and Makoto exchange looks and raise their eyebrows at each other before looking back over at Rei then back off a little.

"Thought she said that she didn't like Ren?" Minako asks when they are out of ear shot.

"Your guess is as good as mine. She's having some major bad mood swings right now. Maybe it's her time of the month?" Makoto muses out loud before exchanging shrugs with Minako then walk back over to the majoring mood changing Rei.

"What the hell is going on here? Are you fucking kidding me? "A familiar voice shouts off from on the other side of them scaring Rei, Makoto and Minako.

Usagi and Hotaru look at each other before exchanging a roll of eyes and slight sigh at the familiar voice shouting towards them.

Usagi puts her cellphone back into her pocket and turns to face Mamoru who is walking towards them with many boys behind him, but the other boys stop when they see Rei, Minako and Makoto standing in front of Usagi and Hotaru.

Minako, Rei and Makoto blush profusely when they hear the boys begin to whisper to themselves about how pretty they look and how their hair color brings out their eyes and other nonsense which makes Mamoru turn around with a frown on his face to stare at the boys behind him.

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE OGLING GIRLS!" He shouts with his fist raised and shaking it at them while they cower behind each other at the dark cloud that now covers Mamoru.

A motorbike stops them from advancing towards Usagi and they all turn to see a female getting off her bike and pull her helmet off before shaking out her long blonde hair. She smiles over at Usagi and strides over to the now blushing girl.

"Hey, lover boy, you've got something of mine," Nanami states when she gets close enough to Usagi and hugs her tightly to her, but with the height difference it's more like she's trying to smother Usagi with her breasts.

Behind Usagi she hears the boys whispering enviously to themselves.

"Who's that?"

"I've never seen her before."

"Wow, she's beautiful."

"Damn that, Ren. He could have any girl here, but now he's taking girls that are older than him? I hate that bastard!"

"Wow, she looks so hot in that!"

The woman that they are talking about was wearing tight denim blue jeans, with black biker boots and a tight baby t under her leather jacket. She wraps an arm around Usagi's shoulders and leans her breast on top of the girl's head and smiles at the boys that are talking about her with a twinkle in her dark brown eyes.

Usagi chuckles nervously, while trying to school her face to remain blush free while Hotaru rolls her eyes at the situation that Usagi is in before looking around at the confused, curious and one rage filled looks that surround her.

Nanami leans down and whispers into Usagi's ear. "Are you having problems with that bastard Mamoru?" She asks her lips scantily close to the other girl's ear.

"Nothing I can't handle," Usagi whispers back with a roll of her eyes.

"Good, now, give me back my wallet. It fell into the front pocket of your messenger bag last night and I forgot to grab it before I left this morning. All the bouncing around last night knocked it in," Nanami states quietly while reaching a hand out for the wallet.

Usagi reached into the front pocket and retrieved the wallet that lay inside of it and handed it over to Nanami who smiled at her before kissing her on the cheek then reaches over and gives a quick squeeze to Hotaru's shoulder before climbing back onto the motorbike.

Hotaru and Usagi share a relieved smile that Nanami's twisted sense of humor didn't come into play while the others stood around them because Nanami was known to say and do things to get the two into trouble with other people because she thought it was funny.

"Oh yeah, before I go, did you happen to see a bag in your room? I think I left it in there. It's the one that has the condoms in it that glow in the dark? Oh, and I get off work early tonight so I should be back to the mansion before six, be sure that you're rested up. You might have gotten one up on me last night, but tonight it'll be different. I'll make sure to get plenty of caffeine drinks so that we can stay up all night and play," Nanami states before blowing a kiss towards Usagi and speeds off on her bike.

Usagi and Hotaru grimace and close their eyes as Nanami's words vibrate through their minds.

Usagi opens her eyes to slits only to see a dark cloud surrounding the boys that are gathered and a disgusted look on Mamoru's face. A quick glance towards Rei reveals the same dark cloud which matches the boys.

She gulps and hands her brief case to Hotaru before taking off as if the devil himself was on her heels.

"GET THAT BASTARD!" The boys scream and start off after Usagi with Mamoru in the lead.

Hotaru goes pale and watches the gang of boys take off after her niece before looking around. She grabs Makoto's arm while she grows an ashen color at her friend's predicament as well and the two of them run off towards the school.

"We need to get back up. Come with me. I know a couple of boys that don't hate, Ren," Hotaru gasps out while running towards the school hoping that their school friends are in front of their lockers like usual.

She races through the hallways mumbling to herself while dodging around other students. Much to her relief the two boys stand there with the rest of the kendo club members. She races over to them and skid to a halt.

Matt, Fred!" She cries out to the boys who turn towards her with raised eyebrows at Taru's unusual look of panic.

She stands with the other boys surrounding her and Rei and Minako standing off to the side with Makoto standing beside her.

"It's really bad this time; they've got Mamoru with them. Ren needs some help and I can't do it by myself," Hotaru explains while the others nod their heads knowing about the animosity between Mamoru and Ren.

"Right, let's go. We'll help him if we can," Motoki states while some other boys nod their heads. "Which way did they go?"

"Towards the other side of the school by the gymnasium," Hotaru states with a sigh of relief.

"Alright, why don't you go to class and we'll take care of it?" Matt suggests, but Hotaru shakes her head.

"No, Makoto and I are coming with you. We're just as good as Ren is and there are a lot of them. You're going to need all the help that you can get this time," Hotaru states before walking off with Motoki beside her.

"Alright, let's go," he states before he, Fred, Makoto, Hotaru and the rest of the fencing club race out of the school towards the place they last saw Usagi running to.

Later in the morning Minako gets a call from Makoto saying that they haven't found, Ren, but neither have Mamoru and their gang so they were coming back to class and wanted to know if they had missed anything.

Minako tells her that she hasn't and to hurry up because it was almost time for class to start.

A couple of minutes later finds Hotaru and Makoto back in class talking to Minako and Rei when Hotaru's phone goes off. She looks at the caller id and sees that it's Usagi calling.

"Hey! Okay, that sounds good. Are you coming back? When? Alright, I'll meet you then," Hotaru states before hanging up the phone then looks over towards Makoto who has a worried look on her face.

"That was Ren, he said he'll be back by the end of class and to hold him a seat at lunch time," she states before the teacher calls them to attention while relief flows through Hotaru.
