SAILOR COSMOS:FROM THE BEGINNING PG-13(JUST TO BE SAFE)
CHAPTER 4
As I was saying before, Mamoru and I were having a splendid time pretending to be in love with each other. I think we even fooled ourselves at times. I didn't think that Mamoru was serious when he agreed to the date the following day, but I should have known he was. He met me in our usual way the next morning. Me running at breakneck speed to miss the tardy bell and him standing at a corner drinking coffee. Maybe one day I will tell him how much I loved to meet him this way. Then again, it is more fun if he doesn't find out about my feelings on those morning meetings we always seemed to have had.
'I'm late. I'm late! I am going to kill Luna for letting me oversleep again!' I think while I run down the streets of Tokyo to get to school. I turn the corner and run right into a very muscular chest. "Gomen," I started to begin my normal apology to whoever I ran into while trying to rise and pick up my book bag. "Odango, we should really find another way to say ohayo to each other because my back can't take the constant poundings you put on it," Mamoru said with a smirk on his face. I blushed when I realized he was looking me in the eyes with a very mischievous glint slowly emerging in his. "Maybe if you walk a little slower I will be able to stop us before we hit the ground," he added, "Are we still on for this afternoon because I am looking forward to taking you out to eat your afternoon snack some place other than the Arcade for a change." "Che. You are serious about this whole thing with shocking everybody aren't you? Well, if you want me to show up on time you had better give me a ride so that I don't get detention for being late," I muttered to him trying not to keep eye contact. I was sure he was trying very hard to keep me on top of him and I was having a hard time time not complying to his unspoken request to stay there. When I finally got into a sitting position after several seconds of twisting in his arms I realized his car was parked by the curb near where we were on the ground. 'Mamoru-baka was probably waiting on me to run into him. He better not have it in his head that he can do this everyday because I could really make his life a living-' "Now you wouldn't be thinking that I plan on doing this everyday. I merely thought it better to have my car ready in case you did happen to be running a little late and needed a ride," Mamoru stated. He said running with a little too much expression to let me know he found his little pun amusing. "Oh, and you shouldn't use language like that. What would mother think if she heard you?" Mamoru insisted. I merely shrugged my shoulders and pushed myself off of him and stood up next to his car. It was a cherry red jaguar with leather seats. 'How in the world can a college student that dresses like he can barely afford clean clothes drive a car like this?' I wondered. I didn't notice Mamoru shrug his shoulders as he opened the door for me and handed me my book bag. I remembered my motorcycle ride from yesterday and didn't hesitate to buckle my seatbelt. Mamoru must have drove 50 miles over the speed limit because, even though I was 20 minutes late, I still arrived at school with 5 minutes to spare before the first bell rang. "Kansha suru. Ja ne Mamoru-baka and see you after school. You better pick me up 'cause I don't know where we are going," I said while getting out of the car. "Don't I get a kiss goodbye?" Mamoru asked with puppy dog eyes and pouting lips. He looked so cute and funny at the same time that I didn't know if I should laugh or say ah. I settled on meeting his request with a short sweet kiss on the lips. I turned and slammed his door shut when I heard a wolf whistle behind me. Mamoru drove off before I could turn around again and give him a piece of my mind. "Hey Usagi, I always thought you were fast but I didn't know you were that fast," A boy, that was leaning against the fence with his guy friends, said. They pushed me onto the ground and probably would have did something if a very tall girl hadn't shown up and beat them up with out breaking a sweat. "Ohayo, my namae is Makoto what's your namae?" "My namae is Usagi," I told her. "It's nice to meet you Usagi-san. Are all guys like that at this school or were they special cases?" She asked me with amusement in her voice. I nodded my head and said, "Hai, most of them just don't act on their hentai thoughts like those ones did." I started walking to class when Makoto tapped me on the shoulder. "Do you have Sensei Haruna for homeroom because I don't know my way around just yet," Makoto asked me. "Hai," I answered, "follow me and I'll tell you all about this place that they have the nerve to place unwilling people into to learn"
It was the same as the day before with Ami-chan, Makoto-chan and I seemed to become the best of friends on the way to our shared homeroom. Makoto wasn't the shy smart type like Ami. She wasn't ashamed to admit that she ended up at my school because of fighting. She also lived alone in her own apartment and loved to cook. It seemed nothing could spoil the mood of our rapidly blossoming friendship. That is nothing except finding out that we had been walking around the halls instead of heading straight to class. We were late and Sensei Haruna was strict with school policy on tardiest, even for new students.
"Usagi, you are late for the fourth day in a row. You will have double detention this afternoon with me. And you must be the new student, Makoto, you will also be joining me for after school detention. Now be seated so I can finish taking role," Sensei Haruna said as Makoto and I entered the classroom. We took seats near Ami and began whispering as soon as Sensei had turned her back to us. "So Usagi-chan, are you and Mamoru-kun still fornicating with one another in public establishments?" Ami asked me as soon as I tried to introduce Makoto to her. "Hai, but this is Makoto-chan and Makoto this is Ami-chan," I replied to her. "Ohayo," Ami and Makoto said together, and then both turned to face me and said, "So are you and Mamoru-kun going on a date?" I nodded my head and thought to myself, 'At least we were before I got detention.' Now we all turned to face the teacher as she said," Now class the following mathematical equation is a sixteen step algebra problem." 'This is going to be a long day.'
Hai, it was a long day and I kept counting down the moments until the day would end. I don't know if I was glad to have gotten detention or was in despair for missing my date with Mamoru. It seemed that things were at their worst when Sensei Haruna gave all of detention's occupants some very important news. She had a date with an old sempai of hers and was canceling detention. It looks like I would not be missing my first date after all, but I soon found that it is best not to presume things for nothing is set in stone.
