Anime High: Enemies Don't Make Friends
"I can't believe it! You revealed our identities? What were you all thinking?" Makoto lectured.
"Gee, I'm not sure, something along the lines of don't get killed!" Rei bit back sarcastically.
"The whole Zanarkland District was destroyed by that attack." Ami informed them from her computer.
"Makoto, our friends revealed their identities as well. Van is a king from another planet and Gohan defeated Cell." Michiru reasoned.
"Calm down Makoto, what's wrong Koneko?" Haruka turned to her princess.
Usagi sat in a chair with her knees tucked under her chin and was staring out the window. "Huh? Sorry, what are we talking about?" Usagi asked sheepishly.
"The attack earlier today, what's with you?" Minako asked rudely.
"It's ... nothing." Usagi closed her eyes and buried her face in her knees.
Rei's eyes flashed at Minako. "Have some heart Minako! Usagi, what's wrong?" Rei asked, eyes full of concern.
Usagi looked up blankly. "...My parents are getting a divorce. Remember my dad's client we bumped into? That's my dad's girlfriend." Usagi stated unemotionally.
"WHAT?" Seven girls burst out.
"That bastard! Cheating on your mom!"
"Koneko, will you be alright?"
"This is dreadful!"
"I hope your grades don't fall."
"Ami! Worrying about grades at a time like this?"
"Well Rei, it could take her mind off what's happening."
"You aren't moving, are you?"
"Usagi-hime, how do you feel?"
Usagi smiled weakly. "I'll be fine. I am fine! I just have to face the facts that my mom and dad don't love each other anymore. They've officially been separated for four months, they've just been putting off telling Shingo and I. I'm going to go for a walk." Usagi stood and smiled bravely to her sympathetic friends. "Debrief me later on the meeting." She waved and stepped out of the door.
Usagi quickly jogged down the temple stairs and turned right, heading for her favorite park. She walked briskly, in a hurry to get to her favorite spot. A few minutes later she collapsed on to the grass in front of a small little pond.
After her mother and father had broken the news, a bad day had gone worse. Shingo had demanded to know why and Kenji told them. He had a girlfriend. Shingo screamed at his father and ran up to his room, slamming the door. Usagi just sat on the couch in shock. She had met the women who ruined their life and she smiled. Selene! She had been so nice to her! But it did explain a lot. Why her father was never home on time, and why he was always at 'meetings' and why he was at Juuban Daze with Joyce Summers.
Shingo came down a bit later and demanded that they stay together, but then Kenji told them that he and their mother had been officially separated. For four months. That's when Usagi had snapped. They had been separated for four months and they had just now decided to tell them? Ikuko then told them quietly that they didn't-hadn't-known how to break it to them. Usagi yelled, "anyway! Just not four months later!" She then stormed out of the house calling over her shoulder she had an emergency meeting at Rei's temple.
And now here she was. Sitting in front of her favorite pond thinking dark thoughts about her father and the evil women referred to as Joyce. She glared hotly at the lake. Why did this happen? How long had this been going on? Her parents never fought, at least, not that she knew of. After the one night a week and a half ago they never waited for Kenji to come home before they started dinner. When Shingo asked why, Ikuko replied he was busy with a new client.
"If you stare long enough, it just might start to boil." A rough voice rang above her.
Usagi was startled out of her dark thoughts and heated glare at the lake, as she turned around and saw Squall. Her eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?" She demanded.
He was obviously supposed to be anywhere but in the middle of a park. He wore black dress pants and a gray dress shirt with the first button open. He was carrying a black dress jacket as well. His hair looked a bit tidier and it was out of his eyes. He sat down next to her, a few steps away, and Usagi noticed he wore his trademark black boots.
He shrugged and replied, "...Nothing."
Usagi arched an eyebrow. "You're in the middle of Juuban Park when it looks like you should be at a cocktail party and you say nothing?" She crossed her arms over her chest. Even though her life was sucking at the moment, didn't mean she still didn't want to help others.
Squall shrugged again, nonchalant. "I received some bad news today." Squall noticed she was still wearing her flare jeans and yellow Zanarkland t-shirt that she wore to the game, but now she was slightly rumpled and still a bit damp.
"Worse than your father lost a whole district of Tokyo today?" Usagi asked, brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes.
Squall smirked. "Depends on how you look at it. Bad for me."
Usagi sighed. "Seems like today is full of bad news."
The sun was starting to set now, ending one hell of a day. A blitzball game gone awry, attacks from scales, Usagi's parents, and now Squall's bad news.
Squall looked over at the blonde. "What happened to you?" He asked.
Usagi sighed. "Nothing that you would be interested in."
Squall raised his eyebrow, "Oh? Try me."
Usagi gave a weak smile. "You don't seem the type of person to be interested in someone else's problems."
Squall smirked. "You're right. But if you want to know why I'm here, it's only fair to tell me why you're here." She told her. Squall surprised himself. He usually didn't like to talk with his own father, let alone Usagi, even though he was highly attracted to her.
Usagi sighed again and turned back towards the lake. "You first."
Squall shrugged again. "I was getting ready for a dinner party when my Father came in and told me I was being transferred from Katana High to a school with a better academic program."
"That doesn't seem so bad." Usagi turned back towards Squall.
"To Ken High."
Usagi's eyes widened in shock, "Whoa. That is a problem. When?"
"Monday."
"This won't go over well."
"You're telling me." Squall sighed. "Now why are you out here?"
Usagi looked at the ground. "My parents told my brother and I after we got back from Zanarkland that they are getting a divorce. And they've been separated for four months and they just now decided to tell us. And to top it off, my dad has a girlfriend." Usagi was amazed at how easy Squall was to talk to. She didn't find him the cold, lone wolf he was always described as.
Squall frowned. "I don't know how to reply to that." He told her honestly.
Usagi gave a bitter laugh. "I don't know how to feel!" Her eyes began to water up again, and she wiped at them.
Squall silently told himself that he was crazy and acting out of character before he pushed the little voice off a cliff. He scooted closer and wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling her to his body. Usagi buried her face in his neck and tears streaked out of her eyes and on to his silk shirt. His unshorn hair lightly tickled her face as he rubbed her back.
Not to far away in the bushes...
Click. Click. Click.
Terebi Kisha was doing what she loved most: taking pictures of Squall Leonheart Loire. She was the official photojournalist of Squall for Tokyo Girl Magazine, a.k.a., TGM. Lately things had been pretty dull, but today she had received word that Squall was being transferred to a new school for 'academic reasons' but this girl obviously proved that there has to be something more, because this is Squall. He doesn't even hug his own father, and here he is hugging this girl. She made a mental note to look up everything possible on Tsukino Usagi.
She snapped a few more pictures of the embracing couple. When could they get the latest issue of TGM out? If everyone pulled over time and worked tomorrow, they could get it out by Monday. Perfect. She smiled evilly. I bet I could get a raise, or even promoted, for this, she thought to herself as she stood and hurried for her car.
Back to Squall and Usagi...
Usagi's tears had dried and she sat comfortably in Squall's lap. In his lap, she didn't have to think about her parents, or about being Sailor Moon and the other Senshi. And least of all, she didn't think about school and homework.
But then it hit her. I'm sitting in Squall's, the son of President Laguna Loire, from our main rival school, and a kidnapper to boot, lap!
Usagi pulled away hastily. Squall looked down at her questioningly. Usagi looked down and blushed. "Uh... sorry about your shirt, I kinda soaked it." She murmured.
Squall smirked. "It's nothing." He replied with a wave of his hand. "...Ride home?" He asked, gesturing in the area of the park's parking lot.
Usagi nodded, and stood.
They walked to his baby blue Chevrolet 1968 Camaro convertible. Usagi stopped and stared. "I didn't even know there were Chevrolets in Japan!" She stood in awe of the car before her.
Squall gave a small smile and opened the passenger side door for Usagi. She slid in and buckled her seat belt. Squall got in as well and started the car. He looked over at her. "Where do you live?"
"Go left on the main road, and go a couple blocks... I'll show you." Usagi replied, sinking tiredly back into the leather bench seat. Man, I could go for a nap, she though sleepily.
Five minutes later, Squall delivered her safely home. Usagi stared up at her house, reluctant to get out of the car. She turned to Squall, who was looking at her intensely. But then again, when isn't he intense?
"Thank you... for everything." Her eyes lowered. "I mean, back at the park, I was so mad at my dad and I was, am, so tired after the game and the attack that I don't think I was thinking straight, and I just wanna say-"
Squall silenced her by kissing her. It started off as a gentle, his lips pressed against hers, kiss but Usagi responded and opened her mouth slightly. Squall's hand came up to cup her cheek and slipped his tongue in. Usagi was drowning in ecstasy as she moved closer and wrapped an arm around his neck. Squall was lost to his surroundings and deepened the kiss as he felt her move closer.
BRRRRING!
Usagi and Squall were startled apart by S quall's wireless phone playing Beethoven's Fifth.
"Fuck." Squall swore as he fumbled for the phone. Usagi leaned back into her seat and sighed contently. "What?" He answered. Usagi dimly saw him glare at the phone. "Hey Dad... No... No! I'm not with Rinoa! Hyne! I can't stand her! ...Fine, I'm on my way." Squall hung up the phone, ran a hand through his hair and mumbled something about strangling his father.
Usagi turned to him. "I have to go... I'll see you on Monday." She stumbled incoherently out of the car.
"Wait!" Squall cried.
Usagi turned around instantly. "Yes."
Squall's mind froze. "...Never mind." He sighed. "I'll see you Monday."
Usagi nodded slowly and walked into her house, Squall watched her go and cursed himself for being an idiot before driving off.
~~^~~
Usagi shut the front door and leaned against it. Her mind was racing. 'I just kissed Squall! Well, technically he kissed me...' She thought dimly. 'But you responded... you enjoyed it!' the evil part of her mind reminded.
"Honey! Are you okay?" Her mom came out of the kitchen.
Usagi stood straight. "Yes, I'm fine." She replied.
"All right dear..." Ikuko smiled weakly. "Your father has finished moving out." She told her. "Shingo is playing Mortal Kombat." She sighed.
Usagi hugged her mother tightly. "It'll all be okay." Usagi told her mother quietly.
~~~#~~~
Monday Morning...
Minako flipped though the latest issue of Tokyo Girl Magazine in homeroom. It came out this morning and Minako demanded that Rei stop so she could get one. The cover had a picture of Squall at one of the many cocktail parties he attended each week. He was wearing black pants, a deep blue shirt, and sunglasses. Apparently, he was on his way to the party. The cover said, "Big News on Squall Loire." And, of course, Minako was interested.
The door to the room opened, Minako didn't bother to see who it was, and the bell had rung ten minutes ago. She heard several gasps and looked up to get the shock of her life.
Squall.
Leonheart.
Loire.
He was standing in the front of the room, looking expressionless as usual. In a Ken High school uniform to boot!
Minako had to wipe the drool from her mouth.
He handed a piece of paper to Setsuna. She scanned the paper and nodded. "Class, I'd like you to welcome the newest addition to our school, Squall Loire."
The class froze.
"WHAT?" Most of the class shrieked.
"He is a transfer from Katana High School for his junior year, and expect you all to treat him with respect." She continued.
Trunks nearly chocked on his morning coffee. "Squall was transferred here? Why?" He demanded.
Squall shrugged, cool as ever. "Better academics." He replied coldly.
"Squall, take a seat next to Heero in the back." Setsuna directed.
Squall walked to the back of the room and took the only empty seat. Usagi sent a smile in his direction but Minako quickly interrupted the awkward silence in the room.
Minako had gone back to her magazine and was flipping to the article on Squall. Here eyes nearly bulged when she saw the main picture and headline.
It read, "Watch Out Girls, Squall is Taken!" and a picture of Squall hugging a girl. A blonde girl. A girl with hair pulled into Odangos wearing the same clothes that Usagi wore on Saturday. No doubt, it was Usagi.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She jumped out of her seat.
Rei, behind her, glared. "Minako! What in Ares is your problem?" She bellowed.
"My problem? SERENITY TSUKINO! I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!"
The room froze and looked at Usagi. Usagi looked confused. "What are you talking about Minako? Did you drink an espresso this morning?"
Minako glared at her best friend. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" She cried waving the magazine in her hand.
Rei grabbed the magazine and looked down. It was open to the page of Usagi sitting in Squall's lap in the middle of the park. Her eyes bulged. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" She yelled jumping to her feet.
"What is wrong with both of you?" Usagi demanded.
Rei turned to Usagi and began to read. "Squall Leonheart is taken, girls! And is madly in love. Squall has transferred to Ken High School, for better academics and to get closer to his newest girlfriend, Usagi Tsukino. Pictured above is Squall and Usagi in Juuban Park last Saturday night... Must I continue?"
Usagi looked horrified at Rei. "What?" She leaped out of her seat and grabbed the magazine.
Gohan choked on a piece of gum. "Whaaaaat?" He looked at Usagi in shock.
Ranma sent a deadly glare to the back of the room at Squall.
"How come you never told me?" Minako pouted.
Usagi stared at the picture of her and Squall. How did someone get this? She quickly flipped through to make sure there was none of her and Squall and that kiss.
There were none.
Usagi gave a small sigh of relief.
Squall sat calmly in the back of the room. He was under a thousand glares that could easily kill him, but Squall was known for his unruffled exterior that nothing could penetrate. On the inside, he wanted to jump up and grab the magazine for himself, to see what was going on. But it was best to act cool.
"I, we, err-he was just comforting me!" Usagi denied.
Akane slipped the magazine from her hands. Shampoo came up behind her and peered over her shoulder.
"That look like more than comforting to Shampoo." Said Shampoo.
"I hate to say this, but I agree with Shampoo." Akane nodded.
Usagi blushed heavily. "I was in the park-"
"Obviously." Rei crossed her arms over her chest.
"And he asked me if I was all right."
"Sure. Whatever." Akane mocked Rei's stance.
"I was upset because of my parent's divorce! And we talked! He told me about transferring-"
"You mean you KNEW? And you didn't TELL me that SQUALL was transferring HERE?" Minako shrieked.
In the back of the room...
"Hey pal, just because you are the president's son, gives you no right to take advantage of Usagi." Trunks told him harshly.
Squall's eyes narrowed. "I wasn't."
"You think we're gonna believe you?" Ranma glared. Duo stood behind him giving a classic glare that he name after his Gundam: Deathscythe Hell.
"Like I care either way." Squall glared back.
Gohan was boiling with anger behind Trunks. "Listen up Loire, Usagi is a very special girl, and if you even THINK about hurting Usagi... let's just say there are worse things than death." Gohan threatened, leaning down so they were level. "Got it, Loire?"
"Whatever." Squall replied coolly.
"Why you little-" Gohan made a move to punch.
Squall stood and leaned into Gohan's face so they were inches apart. "Now you listen to me, Son. I wouldn't ever, EVER hurt Usagi in anyway way, shape or form. You got that, Son?" Squall replied in a low, but deadly, tone.
Gohan turned away, disgusted, and Squall sat back down. They both glanced back to Usagi, who was defending herself against her friends.
"C'mon, Ami, help me out here!" Usagi begged.
"Oh no, I'm steering clear of this whole incident. Just thinking about this is taking away from my studies." Ami replied.
"You didn't kiss, did you?" Hitomi asked as she looked through the magazine.
Usagi's face flamed red. "NO!" She cried out.
She was received with suspicious glances.
"No, no, no!" She tried again.
"A little quick to respond, aren't you?" Rei raised an eyebrow.
Usagi looked down and picked at her uniform. "Err, no... we didn't do anything!" Usagi denied.
Shampoo shook her head sadly. "You sound like Ranma when he deny he didn't do something."
"You're right. Usagi, we don't believe you." Akane crossed her arms.
Usagi's mouth fell open. "I don't believe this!"
"Tell the truth Usagi." Makoto gave a harsh look.
Usagi bowed her head and replied softly, "Yes."
Minako hit the floor in a dead faint. "WHAT!" The others cried.
BRRRRING!
"Oh, look! There's the bell! See ya!" Usagi grabbed her bag and ran out of the room.

Anime High: Enemies Don't Make Friends
"I can't believe it! You revealed our identities? What were you all thinking?" Makoto lectured.
"Gee, I'm not sure, something along the lines of don't get killed!" Rei bit back sarcastically.
"The whole Zanarkland District was destroyed by that attack." Ami informed them from her computer.
"Makoto, our friends revealed their identities as well. Van is a king from another planet and Gohan defeated Cell." Michiru reasoned.
"Calm down Makoto, what's wrong Koneko?" Haruka turned to her princess.
Usagi sat in a chair with her knees tucked under her chin and was staring out the window. "Huh? Sorry, what are we talking about?" Usagi asked sheepishly.
"The attack earlier today, what's with you?" Minako asked rudely.
"It's ... nothing." Usagi closed her eyes and buried her face in her knees.
Rei's eyes flashed at Minako. "Have some heart Minako! Usagi, what's wrong?" Rei asked, eyes full of concern.
Usagi looked up blankly. "...My parents are getting a divorce. Remember my dad's client we bumped into? That's my dad's girlfriend." Usagi stated unemotionally.
"WHAT?" Seven girls burst out.
"That bastard! Cheating on your mom!"
"Koneko, will you be alright?"
"This is dreadful!"
"I hope your grades don't fall."
"Ami! Worrying about grades at a time like this?"
"Well Rei, it could take her mind off what's happening."
"You aren't moving, are you?"
"Usagi-hime, how do you feel?"
Usagi smiled weakly. "I'll be fine. I am fine! I just have to face the facts that my mom and dad don't love each other anymore. They've officially been separated for four months, they've just been putting off telling Shingo and I. I'm going to go for a walk." Usagi stood and smiled bravely to her sympathetic friends. "Debrief me later on the meeting." She waved and stepped out of the door.
Usagi quickly jogged down the temple stairs and turned right, heading for her favorite park. She walked briskly, in a hurry to get to her favorite spot. A few minutes later she collapsed on to the grass in front of a small little pond.
After her mother and father had broken the news, a bad day had gone worse. Shingo had demanded to know why and Kenji told them. He had a girlfriend. Shingo screamed at his father and ran up to his room, slamming the door. Usagi just sat on the couch in shock. She had met the women who ruined their life and she smiled. Selene!

Just not four months later!" She then stormed out of the house calling over her shoulder she had an emergency meeting at Rei's temple.
And now here she was. Sitting in front of her favorite pond thinking dark thoughts about her father and the evil women referred to as Joyce. She glared hotly at the lake. Why did this happen? How long had this been going on? Her parents never fought, at least, not that she knew of. After the one night a week and a half ago they never waited for Kenji to come home before they started dinner. When Shingo asked why, Ikuko replied he was busy with a new client.
"If you stare long enough, it just might start to boil." A rough voice rang above her.
Usagi was startled out of her dark thoughts and heated glare at the lake, as she turned around and saw Squall. Her eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?" She demanded.
He was obviously supposed to be anywhere but in the middle of a park. He wore black dress pants and a gray dress shirt with the first button open. He was carrying a black dress jacket as well.

Squall shrugged again, nonchalant. "I received some bad news today." Squall noticed she was still wearing her flare jeans and yellow Zanarkland t-shirt that she wore to the game, but now she was slightly rumpled and still a bit damp.
"Worse than your father lost a whole district of Tokyo today?" Usagi asked, brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes.
Squall smirked. "Depends on how you look at it. Bad for me."
Usagi sighed. "Seems like today is full of bad news."
The sun was starting to set now, ending one hell of a day. A blitzball game gone awry, attacks from scales, Usagi's parents, and now Squall's bad news.
Squall looked over at the blonde. "What happened to you?" He asked.
Usagi sighed. "Nothing that you would be interested in."
Squall raised his eyebrow, "Oh? Try me."

"That doesn't seem so bad." Usagi turned back towards Squall.
"To Ken High."
Usagi's eyes widened in shock, "Whoa. That is a problem. When?"
"Monday."
"This won't go over well."
"You're telling me." Squall sighed. "Now why are you out here?"
Usagi looked at the ground. "My parents told my brother and I after we got back from Zanarkland that they are getting a divorce.

Monday Morning...
Minako flipped though the latest issue of Tokyo Girl Magazine in homeroom. It came out this morning and Minako demanded that Rei stop so she could get one. The cover had a picture of Squall at one of the many cocktail parties he attended each week. He was wearing black pants, a deep blue shirt, and sunglasses. Apparently, he was on his way to the party. The cover said, "Big News on Squall Loire." And, of course, Minako was interested.
The door to the room opened, Minako didn't bother to see who it was, and the bell had rung ten minutes ago. She heard several gasps and looked up to get the shock of her life.
Squall.
Leonheart.
Loire.
He was standing in the front of the room, looking expressionless as usual. In a Ken High school uniform to boot!
Minako had to wipe the drool from her mouth.
He handed a piece of paper to Setsuna. She scanned the paper and nodded. "Class, I'd like you to welcome the newest addition to our school, Squall Loire."
The class froze.
"WHAT?" Most of the class shrieked.
"He is a transfer from Katana High School for his junior year, and expect you all to treat him with respect." She continued.
Trunks nearly chocked on his morning coffee. "Squall was transferred here? Why?" He demanded.
Squall shrugged, cool as ever. "Better academics." He replied coldly.
"Squall, take a seat next to Heero in the back." Setsuna directed.
Squall walked to the back of the room and took the only empty seat. Usagi sent a smile in his direction but Minako quickly interrupted the awkward silence in the room.
Minako had gone back to her magazine and was flipping to the article on Squall. Here eyes nearly bulged when she saw the main picture and headline.
It read, "Watch Out Girls, Squall is Taken!" and a picture of Squall hugging a girl. A blonde girl. A girl with hair pulled into Odangos wearing the same clothes that Usagi wore on Saturday. No doubt, it was Usagi.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She jumped out of her seat.
Rei, behind her, glared. "Minako! What in Ares is your problem?" She bellowed.
"My problem? SERENITY TSUKINO! I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!"
The room froze and looked at Usagi. Usagi looked confused. "What are you talking about Minako? Did you drink an espresso this morning?"
Minako glared at her best friend. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!" She cried waving the magazine in her hand.
Rei grabbed the magazine and looked down. It was open to the page of Usagi sitting in Squall's lap in the middle of the park. Her eyes bulged. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" She yelled jumping to her feet.
"What is wrong with both of you?" Usagi demanded.
Rei turned to Usagi and began to read. "Squall Leonheart is taken, girls! And is madly in love. Squall has transferred to Ken High School, for better academics and to get closer to his newest girlfriend, Usagi Tsukino. Pictured above is Squall and Usagi in Juuban Park last Saturday night... Must I continue?"
Usagi looked horrified at Rei. "What?" She leaped out of her seat and grabbed the magazine.
Gohan choked on a piece of gum. "Whaaaaat?" He looked at Usagi in shock.
Ranma sent a deadly glare to the back of the room at Squall.
"How come you never told me?" Minako pouted.
Usagi stared at the picture of her and Squall. How did someone get this? She quickly flipped through to make sure there was none of her and Squall and that kiss.
There were none.
Usagi gave a small sigh of relief.
Squall sat calmly in the back of the room. He was under a thousand glares that could easily kill him, but Squall was known for his unruffled exterior that nothing could penetrate. On the inside, he wanted to jump up and grab the magazine for himself, to see what was going on. But it was best to act cool.
"I, we, err-he was just comforting me!" Usagi denied.
Akane slipped the magazine from her hands. Shampoo came up behind her and peered over her shoulder.
"That look like more than comforting to Shampoo." Said Shampoo.
"I hate to say this, but I agree with Shampoo." Akane nodded.
Usagi blushed heavily. "I was in the park-"
"Obviously." Rei crossed her arms over her chest.
"And he asked me if I was all right."
"Sure. Whatever." Akane mocked Rei's stance.
"I was upset because of my parent's divorce! And we talked! He told me about transferring-"
"You mean you KNEW? And you didn't TELL me that SQUALL was transferring HERE?" Minako shrieked.
In the back of the room...
"Hey pal, just because you are the president's son, gives you no right to take advantage of Usagi." Trunks told him harshly.
Squall's eyes narrowed. "I wasn't."
"You think we're gonna believe you?" Ranma glared. Duo stood behind him giving a classic glare that he name after his Gundam: Deathscythe Hell.
"Like I care either way." Squall glared back.
Gohan was boiling with anger behind Trunks. "Listen up Loire, Usagi is a very special girl, and if you even THINK about hurting Usagi... let's just say there are worse things than death." Gohan threatened, leaning down so they were level. "Got it, Loire?"
"Whatever." Squall replied coolly.
"Why you little-" Gohan made a move to punch.
Squall stood and leaned into Gohan's face so they were inches apart. "Now you listen to me, Son. I wouldn't ever, EVER hurt Usagi in anyway way, shape or form. You got that, Son?" Squall replied in a low, but deadly, tone.
Gohan turned away, disgusted, and Squall sat back down. They both glanced back to Usagi, who was defending herself against her friends.
"C'mon, Ami, help me out here!" Usagi begged.
"Oh no, I'm steering clear of this whole incident. Just thinking about this is taking away from my studies." Ami replied.
"You didn't kiss, did you?" Hitomi asked as she looked through the magazine.
Usagi's face flamed red. "NO!" She cried out.
She was received with suspicious glances.
"No, no, no!" She tried again.
"A little quick to respond, aren't you?" Rei raised an eyebrow.
Usagi looked down and picked at her uniform. "Err, no... we didn't do anything!" Usagi denied.
Shampoo shook her head sadly. "You sound like Ranma when he deny he didn't do something."
"You're right. Usagi, we don't believe you." Akane crossed her arms.
Usagi's mouth fell open. "I don't believe this!"
"Tell the truth Usagi." Makoto gave a harsh look.
Usagi bowed her head and replied softly, "Yes."
Minako hit the floor in a dead faint. "WHAT!" The others cried.
BRRRRING!
"Oh, look! There's the bell! See ya!" Usagi grabbed her bag and ran out of the room.
