FD: I'm back with a vengeance. I am well loved by everyone I know! You all can't help but love me! I have yet to get really bad flame from anyone! I am loved! I guess I'm a better writer then I thought, ne? I am also getting to be on a role with my stories. By the way, can somebody review Memories? That reminds me, thank you kitsune of the dark void! You rock! And I am sorry to all those who wait for the next chapter for any of my stories. I have been under quite a bit of stress, what with the trying to find a job and plan for my 21st. I can't wait. You guys still love me though!
Enchantress: They don't love you, they never have. They are just being nice.
FD: How about I throw you into a pit of vipers? Maybe then you'll shut up with the rude comments. How does that sound?
Enchantress: You wouldn't dare. (Suddenly finds herself over a hole with hissing vipers. Screams and grabs onto side) Okay, I believe you, just get rid of the vipers would ya? (Hole disappears.)
FD: Ah, the power of being the author. On with the story!

Moonlight lovers, chapter 5: Going Home
Selenity's P.O.V.
Usagi, Micheru and I drive off towards my cousins' house, where no doubt he, my aunt, and all his very close friends, who he considers his pack, will be waiting for us. I drive alone, with Micheru and Usagi behind me seeing as they don't like Cradle of Filth. Right then I was listening to Nephetamine, the bonus track. Their loose. I enjoy hard rock when I am totally and absolutely bored. We finally pull up to my cousins' apartment building, feeling right away that our suspicions are correct. His pack is there, even the one in all black. I doubt he wants to be here. I smile and go around back to the back of my van and grab my stuff. Luckily we grabbed Usagi's silver and pink convertible when we went to her house, or we would have had no way to get to my house, what with Haruka going to the outers mansion to meet with the movers.
As Usagi and Micheru pull up the movers pull away to go to the mansion and move the stuff for Usagi into her room. Besides the stuff that Usagi knows we bought for her, there is also a new custom pink Dell computer, and pick Dell laptop, a new neon pink shad rug, a new pink desk to put her computer on and to do her homework, among other things, and a new painting done by Micheru. I smile as I think of the surprise that she is going to receive when she gets to the mansion and sees her new room.
I pull out some bags and head for the stairs, intent on getting to my room as soon as possible so I can collapse on my brand new bed. I look behind me, and see Usagi close the back of my van and following Micheru who has already started to follow me. We walk up the stairs and up to the door. I put down the bags I have in one hand and ring the door bell. A few seconds later I hear a crash, followed by a curse. I smile, knowing it is my cousin Yuske. The door opens and there stands Yuske with a bloody nose and a mess behind him. I shake my head, pick my bags up, put them inside, shove his head back, force him to walk backwards, and shove him down onto the couch. I look at him.
"Really, Yuske, you would think that you would have stopped picking fights, be it with people or inanimate objects. Who would have thought you had something against a table?" I say as I look at him then turn away to go get a tissue to stop the bleeding.
"But, but, but…" he stutters out behind me. I can't help but mess with his, and his friends head.
"Yes, I know I have a nice ass. But didn't know that you wanted your friends to know that you had a thing for my ass. I thought you had a girlfriend. What is she going to think about you checking out your cousins ass?" I ask smirking wildly. He just stares at me, as I walk past a red haired guy, trying not to laugh, then a beady eyed orange haired dolt laughing widely. I now know who I am not going to get along with. Not one bit. I notice one in the corner, mostly in the shadows who is acting like he is ignoring the entire proceedings. I look at him straight in the eye and cock my eyebrow. He just smirks at me, his red eyes gleaming. Wait a minute, red eyes? When does a person have red eyes? Oh, that's right, this is Hiei, the half fire, half ice apparition. I think as I walk past Usagi and Micheru who are holding onto each other for dear life, trying not to fall on the floor, therefore onto my stuff. I go to the bathroom, and walk back standing in the middle of the arch way. I take the time to look around.
The red haired one that I noticed was watching Yuske and the orange haired dolt fight. What was his name? Oh yeah, Suichii Minamio, otherwise known as Yoko Kurama. Sometimes it's a good thing that I know how to get the information that I need. The orange haired dolt in most likely Kazuma Kuwabara. No one else has an Elvis hair style. I look at the girls who are sitting next to my aunt, watching the fight with some interest. The first one has blue hair and blue eyes, and has an aura of death. That must be Botan, the ferry girl who assists Yuske. Next to Botan is a girl with short blue hair, and red eyes, like Hiei. She is Yukina, the ice apparition. After Yukina is my aunt who is sitting next to a woman who looks kinda like her, except the aura of calm and peace surrounding her. I guess her name is Shizuru. Kneeing in front of the table is a little woman. Her aura is strong, and radiates power. I automatically know she is known as Genki. Standing behind the couch, trying not to laugh is a girl with brown hair, melted chocolate eyes and a gentle aura. I know she is Keiko from pictures that Yuske has sent me.
I feel someone eyes on me. I look to the woman who is kneeling. I just smile at her, and turn to break up the fight which has just tipped over a very expensive vase. I toss the wet towel and the dry one and dive for the vase, and I am just able to catch it before it hit's the floor. My skirt chooses that time to rip on the side and show even more of my leg then I want to. I glare at the two who are in a pile on the floor a few feet away from me. I look down at my skirt, which is kind of awkward considering I am still holding the vase, and I am laying on the floor. I manage somehow and see the rip that has ruined my skirt. I turn back to them with fire burning in my eyes.
"Run, everybody run," Yuske says before he takes his own advice and runs away. I get up, put the vase down, kick off my shoes, and take off after him.
"YUSKE! WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOUR FILTHY HIDE! I'M GOING TO PEEL IT FROM YOUR BONES!" I scream as I run. I see Yuske heading for the door, but Usagi sticks her foot out and trips him up, while Micheru puts her foot onto his back. I come up to him while he struggles to get out from under Micherus' foot. She may not look it, but she is strong.
"Now, Yuske, what do you suppose we do regarding the payment of my torn skirt? Shall I, like I said, peel you flesh from your bones, or will you go shopping with me, and buy whatever I want?" I ask as I put my foot onto his butt.
"You won't hurt me if I buy whatever you want?" he asks.
"Nope," I reply.
"Fine, we'll go tomorrow. Now will you two get your foots off of me?" he asks. We take our feet off of him and I head towards my room to find a different skirt. I take a peek into the living room. The females are trying really hard not to laugh, but aren't succeeding. Even Genki is having the urge to laugh at Yuske's predicament. Poor Kurama, Kuwabara, and even Hiei are nursing nose bleeds. Maybe they saw my thong? I look down and sure enough when I move, my thong shows. Damn. Like I needed them to see my undergarments.
"Perverts," I mutter as I pass. The females hear me and bust out laughing. Even Genki let's loose a smirk. I smile at the guys and head up the stairs, holding my skirt together, thinking about how if the guys saw me in my sailor skirt, they wouldn't just be sporting nose bleeds, they would be sporting hard-ons', well, except Yuske. If he did, that would just be wrong. And I do mean wrong!
I finish walking up the stairs, and poke my head into a room. It's neat, but with an air of masculinity. I know instantly it is Yuske's. The next door I open turns out to be the bathroom. After the bathroom, right across from it really is my aunts room. I know it's hers for the simple fact that it is messy, but not disgusting. I look down the hall and at the very end is another door. I decide to try it and see if that is my room. I find that I am correct when I open the door. I peek my head around the door frame and come face to face with my room.
My bed sits in the middle of my room with the curtains pulled back, and the sheets on said bed. My pillows are laid out on my bed, in a way that screams comfort. My walls are painted to resemble a moonlight garden. It has a crescent moon painted partially on my wall, and partially on my ceiling. The carpet is a silver with purple swirls on it.
My boxes of clothes are not there, and I pray that my aunt put my stuff away. I walk up to my dresser, which has ended up on the opposite wall from my desk which is sporting my now set up computer. I open my drawers and I look down. Yep, my aunt put my stuff away. I'll have to go through it later and reorganize it, I think as I pull out a skirt that goes with my out fit. This one has a snake wrapped around it, with the head resting on it's tail, near the hem. I throw the other skirt into my little sewing box, next to my bed.
I walk down and I see that the boys have got their nose bleeds under control. I walk up to the orange haired dolt, who is still laughing about Yuske getting beat up by two girls and proceed to hit him up side the head.
"Hey, what was that for?" he asked. Like I said, what a dolt.
"That is for teasing my cousin. You and I, we're not going to get along very well. Now, shut up, before I throw you out," I say to him. At that moment my phone decided to ring, in my poor forgotten purse. I go over, pick up my purse, find my phone and groan at whose name is on my phone. I flip it open and put it on speaker phone.
"What do you want?" I ask with enough ice to drop the temperature in the room a few degrees.
"What I want is my girlfriend! Now where is she!" Mamo-baka yelled. Hiei cocked an eyebrow, and I just turn towards Usagi.
"Well, your heard the guy, Usa-chan. You have two chooses, you could talk to him, or I could tell him off," I tell her. She holds out her hand. I turn off the speaker phone and hand her the phone. I turn to the group and start the introductions of those who I am supposed to know. I first introduce Micheru and Usagi.
"Auntie, Yuske, these are two of my friends. The one on the phone with the idiot is Usagi, and my blue haired friend here is Micheru. Her girlfriend couldn't be here since she is at the place where Micheru, herself, my other friend and Usagi are all staying at. My other friends name is Hotaru Tomoe, and Micherus' girlfriend is Haruka Ten'hoe. You'll get to meet them later," I say. I see Kurama blink a couple of times when I tell them who is who, but not what they do. Let them figure it out.
"Well, since we now know who they are, let me introduce to you the rest of my gang here. The red head is Suichii Minamio, the silent one in all black is Hiei, while the dolt is Kazuma Kuwabara. The women in order here is Botan, then Yukina, then Shizuru Kuwabara. The one who is standing behind the couch is my girlfriend Keiko. The hag on the floor is Genki, my teacher. We hang out together, and do other things. So, Selenity, how's the band?" Yuske asks, effectively changing the subject.
"Actually, you are looking at one of the members of my band. Mich-chan here plays the guitar, flute, piano and violin. Ruka-chan plays guitar, drums, piano and harpsie cord. While me and Hotaru also play guitar, piano and violins. Occasionally Usa-chan plays the cello or bass for us. Right now we are working on our next CD. We have two songs already written and set to music already. One is called Free, and the other is called What You Never Know. I'm thinking of writing a song around love and ice cream. I haven't developed my idea quite yet," I say. Just as I say that Usagi starts to yell at Mamo-baka.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT ME TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE! I AM SO NOT GOING TO THAT PLACE! YOU FUCKED MY BEST FRIEND! DO NOT TRY TO DENY IT! I SAW IT ALL HAPPEN! I ALSO HEARD WHAT YOU SAID, YOU PRICK! I DON'T EVER WANT TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN! SO THERE!" with that said she shuts the phone and looks over her shoulder seeing us just blink at her. I'm surprised my phone didn't break in half. She smiles a goofy smile and puts her hand behind her head.
"Heh, heh, sorry about that. I think my and Micheru should be going now. We need to meet Ruka-chan and Hota-chan so we can help them unpack our stuff. So, bye, Selenity. We'll call you later, or tomorrow," she says, as she comes up and gives me a hug. "It was nice meeting you all!" she says as her and Micheru walk out the door.
"Now, I need help getting the rest of my stuff from my van. Who wants to help?" I ask once I know that they are gone.
"Me and the girls will help," Keiko volunteers. I smile at her, instantly liking her. Botan, Keiko, Shizuru with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, Yukina and even Genki follow me out my van where they look at the boxes and bags in it. I smile and grab some small stuff and hand it to Yukina, and some more small stuff to Keiko. The rest of the girls and me all grab larger boxes and head upstairs, knowing it was going to be a long day.
2 hours later
We finally got all of my stuff into my room and put it all away. I smile at the way my room looks. I pull my door closed and follow the rest of the girls down the stairs and into the kitchen where we meet a site we never expected. Yuske, Kuwabara and Kurama were trying to make dinner for us. It turned out more like Yuske and Kuwabara making a mess an Kurama trying to clean up while cutting vegetables. Shizuru and I shake our heads at the mess and walk into the kitchen. I take the spoon and bowl from Yuske and shoo him out, while Shizuru take the spatula from Kuwabara and shoves him out of the kitchen. Keiko shoos, well more like shoves, Kurama out the kitchen door and starts chopping vegetables. I go over to the counter and find a recipe for home made biscuits. I look at the batter and toss it out, then start all over. While I make the biscuits, and sweet rolls for after dinner, Keiko finishes the stir fry, while Shizuru finishes up the vegetable side dish.
We worked well with each other, conversing about the different guys and how the acted. I found out Kuwabara was really an idiot, and therefore not really deserving of my time outside of a battle. I also found out that Genki was Yuskes' teacher, like I didn't already know about that. I also found out once Hiei thought of you as a friend and ally, he would protect you until he died. I wondered how he would feel about a girl who could kick his ass. I smile as I think of the fight between him and Haruka if she found out he had been eyeballing Usagi.
"Hey, Selenity-san, what about your friends. Why don't you tell me about them?" Shizuru asks, interrupting my thought process.
"Okay. Well there is Haruka Ten'hoe. She is a race car driver, and many mistaken her for a guy because of the way she dresses. She has short, sandy colored hair, gold eyes and is a wonderful friend. She is also dating Micheru, plays the piano, and is one of the adopted parents of Hotaru. She can be as gentle as a spring breeze with sakura blossoms riding it, or as fierce as a tornado. Ruka-chan is also protective of Usagi, Hotaru and I. The only reason why she is so protective of me is because I came out of a few bad relationships and was wary of her when I thought she was a guy. It took her a while to get me to trust her enough to get close enough to me to tell me that she was a woman. She's protective of Hotaru because Hota-chan is still young. And everyone who knows Usagi gets protective of her, even me."
"Well you know what Micheru looks like. She plays the violin, paints, swims and is another adopting parent of Hotaru. She is kind and gently, like the ocean she has this connection to. But if you threaten on of her friends she can be harsh and unforgiving like the ocean. She's like Ruka-chan, very protective of me, Usagi and Hotaru. She will hunt down those who hurts us, if Haruka doesn't get to them first that is."
"Then there is Trista. She has long, dark forest green hair, and has some of it in a bun. She had garnet colored eyes, and is very guarded around new people. She is the last one who adopted Hotaru. She is kind and gently, once you get past her natural defenses. She can be just as cruel and unforgiving as time. She, like Mich-chan and Ruka-chan, is very protective of us. She is a wonderful friend and master. She is the one who taught me many things about who I am, and what I can be. She has, along with Ruka-chan, taught me how to wield many different weapons and how to do different styles of fighting."
"Of course there is little Hotaru. She has dark purple hair and darker purple eyes. She loves everyone of her friends and family. She lost her father a while back, during that whole mess with the crazy doctor and the nasty looking witch. He died when the building collapsed. She is silent sometimes, but she is a relatively normal girl. She, like the others, can be unforgiving if one of her friends is in danger. She has a good sense about people and will tell you flat out if she doesn't like you and why."
"Finally there is little Usagi. Our own Bunny. We all love her beyond belief and will die to protect her if it comes down to that. We are not afraid of what she can do. She may look sweet and innocent, but she is everything but. For a while she had to pretend that she was a klutz and an idiot. She had to pretend that she couldn't get to school on time, she had her teachers post her scores lower than what they actually were. Only a few of her friends knew who she truly was, and is. The only reason why she had to act like that is because of some of our friends who turned out not to be friends. Well, I shouldn't say that. It doesn't apply to all of her friends, only some. That is a story only Usa-chan can tell you."
"Now why don't we serve this up and then make the guys clean up?" I ask pulling out the biscuits and placing the sweet rolls into the oven. We do just that. After dinner the guys clean up, except Hiei. He disappeared off somewhere and hasn't reappeared yet. We don't mind, but the guys end up grumbling about it, well except Kurama. After every thing I cleaned up and put away, everyone, except Yuske, auntie, and I leave to go home.
I tell Yuske and my aunt goodnight and head up to my room to grab my shower stuff, then to the bathroom to take a shower. I take said shower, get into my Tweety boxers and shirt, and go to bed, with my transformation broach and communicator on my bed side table.
Well, my communicator goes off around 2 in the morning. It turned out to be Usagi, or Sailor Moon at the time.
"There's a youma near our house. We need your help. When can you be here?" she asks.
"Give me a few minutes. I'll teleport there, but first I need to get out of the house and away from my cousin. He can sense power auras among other things," I say as I get up, grab my robe, put slippers on and grab my broach on my way to my window, opening it up and sitting on the sill. "I'll see you in a few."
"Right. Moon out." I climb out of my window and head for a secluded area. I grimace at the thought that I have to deceive my cousin and aunt about where I am going. Hopefully they don't ask questions tomorrow.
That's it for now! Next chapter, a battle of the deaths. Don't ask, I'm not saying a thing until next chapter. I love Interpol's new song "Evil" from their cd Antics. I can't get enough! Go listen to it on Launch on Yahoo! I do. Sorry. See you next chapter!
