A Slew of New Characters
Ami walked down the sidewalk breathing in the crisp autumn air while heading towards Rei's temple, it sure had been a LONG autumn so far, not even Halloween had come yet and it seemed to Ami (even though she loves school) that she had been attending for years, not months. She sighed and stopped and looked up at the sky, looking for any chance of snow. She always felt more comfortable when surrounded by her element.
As Ami searched the sky for her beloved element, she was unaware of the man, about sixteen or seventeen, jogging towards her and certainly not paying attention to where he was going but where he had been.
And then he promptly ran into her.
Ami was ripped out of her gaze and suddenly found the pavement rushing up to meet her. "GAAAAH!" She cried. She closed her eyes preparing for impact when strong arms encircled her waist and saved her fall.
The owner of the arms stood her upright again and Ami whirled around to meet her savior. Her ocean blue eyes met a pair of eyes so dark blue, they almost looked black. Her eyes followed well-defined features and raven colored hair that fell around his face. Needless to say, Ami found herself breathless.
"I'm deeply sorry for that Miss, excuse me." He bowed politely and was off again, leaving Ami in his trail looking after him with stars in her eyes. Her school year just got a bit brighter.
~~@~~
"Okay, so far we have the basics: Milk, bread, eggs, bacon, juice, Funyons-What? SHINGO!" Usagi growled and swatted her brother over the head with the list she was holding. "Funyons are NOT a necessity!"
"They are for ME!" Shingo argued back.
"That's quite all right dear, we can afford a few treats." Ikuko smiled at her children. She was quite proud of how mature Usagi had been lately about handling all the new changes in her life. She was also quite the role model for Shingo at the moment.
"Does that mean I can get cheese cake bars? The strawberry kind?" She asked hopefully. Ikuko nodded.
"YESSS!" Usagi bounced off to the cheese aisle to pick up her treat and nearly trampled three little kids in her way. Ikuko shook her head, so Usagi wasn't always mature; she guessed that would be fine since Usagi was still sixteen.
Meanwhile, in the next aisle...
"..." Sesshomaru was NOT in a good mood. In fact, he was in a FOUL mood. He HATED mortals. He TORTURED mortals. He KILLED mortals. Everything about mortals made him sick. Their smell, their smiley nature, their oblivion to strong entities (namely himself). So, WHY in the Devil's name was he HERE? He glared at his half brother, Inu Yasha, while pondering this question.
Rin giggled as Kagome gave the small child samples of candy to see which was her favorite. Rin munched on a chocolate treat and smiled up at the dog demon before turning back to Kagome.
Sesshomaru sighed. That's why he was here. Rin. Kagome and Sango had befriended Rin (behind Sesshomaru's back, of course) and then Kagome insisted that she take Rin to her time and treat the little girl to some luxury. And there was no way, in the deepest, darkest pit of the Hells was Sesshomaru going to let Rin go by herself. He had to admit, the people lived well off in this time, he bought a condo with all leather furniture and a huge stereo system-but he still HATED mortals. Every last one of them. Oh yeah, Rin doesn't count. And Kagome wasn't too bad. Every now and then. But all other mortals, especially that horny monk-
Sesshomaru was startled out of his brooding by a purple haired goddess with a smile that could light up a darkened room, or a crowded aisle in a grocery store. Her long, curly, hair flowed down her back and was pulled out of her face to show off her porcelain features and chocolate brown eyes.
It appears that the great demon lord Sesshomaru has a crush, just like Ami's new found crush.
"Oh! Oh! Can we get chocolate covered bananas?" Shingo asked eagerly.
"That sounds disgusting." Usagi pretended to gag.
"You guys can get a candy, put you both have to agree on it." Ikuko told them firmly.
"C'mon Odango! You'll love 'em!" Shingo bounced up and down, reminding Usagi of Duo and how he always begged for something.
"Oooh! How about little chocolates shaped like the Sailor Senshi! Look at this one! It's shaped like Luna!" Usagi giggled.
"That means I can bite your head off over and over." Shingo grinned mischievously.
"Hey!" Usagi cried out indignantly.
So she has two children. Sesshomaru studied them with a watchful eye. He supposed they couldn't be TOO bad if they were offspring of that goddess. They sparkled like little gems among these other drab mortals. And that girl one gave off a peculiar smell...
"Hey Odango, don't you have to be at Rei's by 1:30?" Shingo asked.
"Yeah." Usagi responded.
"It's 1:42."
"NOOOO! Not AGAIN!" Usagi yelled, causing the whole aisle to look at her in puzzlement. "Byemom! I'llbehomeafterthemeetingandthensqualliscomingoverfordinner!" Usagi yelled over her shoulder as she ran out of the aisle.
"Bye dear!" Ikuko waved cheerily.
Sesshomaru almost fell over at the sight over her smile. Kami! She was gorgeous!
"Sesshomaru? Are you feeling okay?" Kagome asked as she studied the demon's peculiar attitude.
Sesshomaru snapped to her gaze and scowled. "I'm fine human."
Ikuko glanced around the candy aisle while Shingo fished through the bags of Sailor Senshi candy trying to find the most Sailor Moons in one package (I assure you, Seifer's diabolical plot is worse than Shingo's).
Her gaze rested on a tall and regal looking whitish silver haired man that was scowling at a box of Nerds. Ikuko first noticed the peculiar markings on his cheeks and forehead, and his brilliant gold eyes. He looked uncomfortable wearing dress pants a white button up shirt, and his long hair fell down to his lower back. Ikuko normally would have found such a man appalling, but not this one. Her heartbeat raced at the exotic looks of this man and a faint blush graced her cheeks. Ikuko felt like a giddy schoolgirl again.
"This bag should do it!" Shingo exclaimed happily and tossed the bag into the cart. "Now, onto the next aisle... Mom?" Shingo looked at his mom curiously.
"Wha? Oh, sorry Shingo, yes, let us proceed to the next aisle."
In the quick few seconds Ikuko had been gazing she came up with a plan (and then realized where Usagi got some of her half-baked plots). But never the less, as Ikuko Tsukino passed Sesshomaru, she 'accidentally' dropped her lipstick tube.
Sesshomaru leaned over (gracefully of course, he IS a demon lord) and snatched the tube before it hit the ground. He straightened out at faced his 'goddess'. "I believe you dropped this." He said calmly, while his eyes burned into Ikuko's.
Ikuko reached for the tube and purposely brushed her fingers against his before replying, "Thank you." In the sultriest voice she could muster followed by a drop-dead gorgeous smile that Usagi had inherited (and used against Squall quite often). Now only if Minako were there to sign happily with hearts in her eyes would this scene be complete.
Speaking of Minako...
Minako stared at the ceiling of the temple and idly daydreamed about Ryoga. She smiled as a picture of him acting nervous flitted across her vision.
"GAAAAAAAAH! SOOOOOOO sorry I'm late! Rei-sama! PLEASE forgive me!" Usagi threw herself down at Rei's feet and sobbed.
"Calm down Usagi, besides, you aren't last." Rei told her.
"I'm not?" Usagi lifted her head in surprise. She glanced around the room at her Senshi. There was Haruka and Michiru sitting there, and Hotaru over there, Makoto setting out food, Minako staring at the ceiling, Rei looking down at her-"Where's Ami?" Usagi asked.
"We don't know. She's just late." Makoto replied idly.
"Ami? Late? Did you contact her to make sure everything is okay?" Usagi began to hyperventilate.
"Yes, she's on her way. Apparently, she ran into someone." Michiru replied.
Usagi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey Usagi! Look what I found in a shoebox in my closet!" Rei waved a photograph in front of her face. Usagi snatched up the picture and screeched. "GAH!"
"What is it?" Minako asked curiously.
"It's a picture of her and Mamoru and Chibiusa. Chibiusa is pulling Usagi's hair and Mamoru is checking out a red head." Rei informed the group.
Usagi ran out of the room to the 'sacred fire' and tossed the picture in. As she walked back in Minako asked, "What did you do with all your old pictures?"
Usagi sighed and threw herself on the floor. "I found a box of them while unpacking and threw them out the window. Now they're trash in the back alley." She responded.
"What if someone finds them?" Makoto asked.
"What could they do? No one would want them anyway." Usagi shrugged.
Moments later Ami came through the door with flushed cheeks. Minako sat up abruptly and squealed. "AMI! Okay, what does he look like?" She asked as she pounced on the Senshi of Mercury.
Ami blushed harder. "What are you talking about?"
Minako raised an eyebrow. "I'm talking about that look on your face that says I-just-ran-into-the-hottest-guy-in-the-world-and-it's-a-miracle-I'm-standing look."
"And that is why Minako is the Senshi of Love." Makoto proclaimed.
"Well... there was a guy..." Ami began.
"Ooh!" Usagi squealed and pounced onto Ami as well. "Was he cute?"
"Gorgeous."
"Was he nice?"
"A bit brief, but..." Ami sighed happily.
"This is SO exciting." Minako clapped her hands together eagerly.
"Excuse me, girls, but we are here for a MEETING!" Rei interrupted and glared at the three girls.
"Sorry." They apologized.
Rei cleared her throat before beginning. "As you know..."
~~@~~
Usagi yawned as she entered her apartment (after tiptoeing by Seifer's door) the meeting had just been a recap. Don't piss of Seifer (or at least TRY not to), Don't underestimate the enemy, don't think that the youmas are gone forever, don't drink and drive... you all get the point.
Usagi stopped dead in her tracks at the site of her mother in a little, black dress and her hair styled up, and black high heels.
"...Mama?" Usagi gulped as her eyes bulged out.
"Hello Usagi dearest! I'm going out on a date tonight so I ordered you, Squall, and Shingo delivery." Ikuko smiled at her daughter.
"A date?" Usagi gasped.
"Isn't it wonderful!" Ikuko cried happily.
"Isn't it scary?" Shingo mimicked his mom's tone of voice.
"..." Was all Usagi could reply because her jaw was on the floor.
A knock at the door snapped her out and she opened the door dumbly.
"Squall!" Usagi cried. "Thank Selene, something NORMAL!" She sighed happily as she hugged him.
"Hey Usa, hey Shingo, hello Mrs. Tsuki-Mrs. Tsukino?!?!" Squall stared.
"Hello Squall dear!" She chimed.
"She has a date." Usagi filled him in.
"A date?" Squall asked dumbly.
"With this wicked cool looking guy we met at the grocery store." Shingo added.
Another knock sounded at the door.
All four of them stared at the door in shock.
Squall moved first to open the door. He felt overprotective of Usagi's mother, and since Ikuko didn't have a dad to interrogate this man who dared to 'date' his girlfriend's mother, he'd just have to do.
Squall stared at the man in the hallway with the most intimidating look that would make Bahamut (the great GF king) proud. He then prayed to Hyne that this little pimpled face nerd was not Ikuko's date.
The man quacked and squeaked. "Sir? Here's your food!"
Squall snatched the food and handed the man a twenty and then shut the door in his face.
"Squall, that was the delivery man." Usagi giggled.
"...I knew that. I was just practicing." Squall set the food down on the kitchen counter.
"You three be good tonight, and don't wait up for me!" Ikuko sighed happily.
"I don't THINK so mother!" Usagi began sternly. "You have a MIDNIGHT curfew!"
Another knock sounded at the door. Squall still reached it first with his glare in place and swung open the door.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the young boy in front of him with quite the glare. (Of course Sesshomaru would NEVER admit he was impressed at the glare, he never saw a mortal with that intensity) He returned the glare with one of his own and a smirk.
"Sesshomaru!" Ikuko greeted warmly.
"Ikuko." He nodded.
"This is Squall, Usagi's boyfriend." Ikuko introduced Squall (who now lessened the glare to his usual blank face).
Sesshomaru nodded at the boy. He was a good choice for his goddess' only daughter. He had strength (but he'll never say that out loud, he's got a reputation to worry about!)
Squall nodded back and Usagi came to his side. Squall's arm automatically rested around her waist. "Now Mom, don't party to hard." She teased.
"And no kissing! It's SO gross to watch Usagi and Squall make out!" Shingo made a face of disgust.
"Hey!" Usagi slapped her little brother over the head. He grinned evilly up at her.
"Be good you two, I'll see you later tonight." And so began Ikuko's first date since she married Kenji.
"We should spy on them." Shingo thought out loud.
~~@~~
Seifer passed Mrs. Tskuino and a silver haired man in the hallway. "Looking hott Ms. Tskuino!" He winked. Sesshomaru sent him a mighty glare before pushing the elevator button.
Ikuko smiled and waved. "Thank you Seifer! Have a good night!"
Seifer waved before heading into his apartment. So far his plan to kiss up to Usagi's mother was running smoothly.
He shut the door and set the meager bag of groceries down on the counter, along with a little something that he found on the pavement in the back alley. A picture of Usagi with some guy, but that guy was not Squall. He grinned evilly as he picked up to call Satsuki Yatohji, a girl at his school that was a genius with computers (specifically hacking) to see if she could track down this man in the picture with Usagi. He was obviously older than her by several years.
