Quick thank you for all those who have reviewed, you are inspiring me to write even though I really should be studying. A well, maybe I get a publishing deal out of it, which would be a dream, getting money for something I like to do anyway. Ahh dreams aren't they great but totally unrealistic..

On with the story.

Remember the more reviews the faster I get inspired.

The calming trickle of water over the large expanse of rocks that where placed strategically all over the grounds had no claming effect on the person that sat unmoving, watching them.

Hoping for insight into the questions that had been plaguing him ever since he had meet her and the feelings hadn't stopped even after the betrayal.

He knew that he may have been slightly impulsive and maybe just maybe had let his feelings over run what he knew with his mind would never happen.

I mean it wasn't ever day that he finally found a woman he could respect, could admire and who he realised after contemplating much here, didn't really know all that much about.

Granted he knew where she lived, what she liked to watch on TV and what her favourite food was and from observation what her musical taste was but that was it. He didn't even know if she had any allergies, or if she liked animals.

At this thought he grunted in annoyance, He was getting totally off the point. The reason why he had come here was to try and figure out exactly what had short-circuited his brain enough to hit one of his best friends. I mean it had been there motto ever since that had hit puberty together that they would never let a woman get in the way of their friendship. And so far it had worked. They had never gotten jealous, never coveted each other's girlfriends, they knew the boundaries, and yet he, over a girl that he had never asked out let alone kissed, had most likely ruined a friendship.

A friendship that he badly needed. He knew he wasn't the easiest person to live with but they seemed to like him anyway, in spite of his more obvious flaws, as Duo would say.

Duo, sighing gently he looked over at the house, lit up against the twilight sky. At this time they would have gone out looking for food or such, maybe even checking out the racing scene, He wondered if Duo would forgive him.

He hadn't appeared that angry when he left but then again Duo was always slow to angry but had a big temper when lit. Nothing could stop it and it was best to run for cover when you caught site of it.

They had all learned that the hard way, nearly a decade ago, when they where still getting ready to hit Puberty. Those where the unspoiled days, he had always thought. No thoughts of the future, or girls to disrupt their fun. No corruption or violence to influence them to become what they where today. No constant looking over their shoulders, for crazed stalkers, or people thinking they owed them.

He had often wondered where all the lunatics had come from, but figured it must be something about the five of them that drew them like magnets. I mean where else but with them would you find a crazed blonde girl that was convinced that she had to have his baby. I mean, serious physco. Thankfully they had had her locked up in a nice place with straight jackets and lots of pills for the last three years.

But again, he had digressed.

The problem as it would seem would be the girl, Usagi. His former roommate and would be friend if he had ever tried.

What was he going to do about these feelings he still had for her, and would she ever forgive him for making a total ass out of himself?

Remembering that night with a now embarrassed shudder, he wondered how Wu fei had gotten on.

By now they where bound to be worried, maybe he should call them? He had been gone for a week.

Reaching into his fleece, he flipped opened the small phone and dialled in the number. But fate had other ideas, and so at that exact time as his thumb went to the call button on the phone, the supper gong rang and getting up he started back having flipped the phone closed and dropped it into his pocket, for now, forgotten. In its place was a much greater and more pressing need, the need for food. And as he had quickly learned it wasn't good to keep the chef waiting.

Starring longingly at a photo on the wall, She got up. Walking over to it, she laid a kiss on it and whispered to the darkness that was always around when she came out, "Soon, you will be mine!" For once her voice was free of any hidden emotions or lased with falseness. This time, anybody listening could hear the underlying threat in her voice. A voice that hinted at the madness and need that she knew for so long.

Mamora waved good bye to his friends and boarding the plane, packed his suitcase in the over head luggage holder, and squeezed himself into the things they laughingly called seats.

Gazing out of the window, he smiled the first real smile of joy he had felt in ages. He was going to see his best friend to tell her the good news, He had found someone to love and what was better, soon he would be a father. He had found his son and she, Gazing out of the window as the plane slowly moved down the run way, had hopefully found something that would calm her down, and stop her recklessness. Someone who would not try and change her but who would mellow her.

Taking a picture from his wallet, he smiled down at the laughing faces full of so much joy. Touching a lean finger to one head, he smiled remembering all the happiness she seemed to generate.

Was it any wonder he loved her?
