Usagi's big idea
"All Storm, no calm"
Chapter 7
Keep the reviews coming guys...here as promised is the next chapter -
The morning sun shines in through the window. Usagi stirs and opens her eyes.
Seiya is still lying on the chair beside her.
"Seiya kun" She nudges with a soft voice.
Hey rubs his eyes and looks up.
"Oh, good morning" He yawns.
Usagi smiles, but her happiness is quickly washed away when she thinks of Mamoru and her Mother.
"Mamo-Chan" she sadly pines.
Seiya sighs. He sits on the edge of the bed and glances over at Usagi. There are tears in her soft blue eyes. This pains him to see. How could the person who supposedly loves her, run away like that?
When she needs him the most?
"Come on" He lifts Usagi up off the bed.
"When you get home this afternoon Im sure everything will have worked itself out"
Usagi looks at Seiya with hopeful eyes.
"Really?"
He nods. "Really"
Off course, Seiya didn't actually mean that and off course, none of what he said was true. When Usa did come home from hospital she was greeted with an emotional response from her Mom and a warning to Mamoru san from her dad.
(Where are Michiru and Haruka? you may ask, don't worry they DO come into the story soon)
Seiya had been kind enough to offer Usagi a ride home.
"If you need anything dumpling, you know where I am" He winks.
"Thank you Seiya kun" Usagi half smiles and shuts the car door.
Naturally Rei, Makoto and Ami-san were in the lounge when Usagi arrived.
Minako and Motoki were……elsewhere.
Ikuku wipes new tears from her eyes and starts yelling at her daughter.
"HOW COULD YOU?"
"I KNEW YOU WERE FICKLE USAGI, BUT AHHH?"
"LETTING THAT BOY IMPREGNATE YOU"
Usagi stands silently, taking the verbal bashing.
Kenji stands behind his wife and hangs his head in shame.
"My little girl" "Our princess"
Usagi cries.
"DADDY PLEASE"
He throws his fists in the air.
"WHEN I CATCH THAT SORRY SON OF A…."
"Mr Tsukino" Ami interrupts (politely)
"If I may say this" "I really do not believe that hurting Mamoru san will help the situation in any way"
Ikuku pats her husband on the chest softly.
"She's right honey"
Kenji mumbles something to himself defeatedly.
Rei stands up and heads toward Usagi.
Usa moves away. Rei grabs her by the arm.
"Now listen" "I'm your friend so I am gonna stand by you Usa-chan" she sternly says.
"But don't think for a second that I'm at all happy about this"
Usagi gulps.
Makoto shakes her head at Rei. She approaches Usagi and puts her arm around her.
"Don't worry Usa-chan, we still love you" she smiles.
"Thank you Mako-chan" Usagi weeps.
"Honestly Rei" Makoto glares at the dark haired girl.
"WHAT?" Rei-san yells.
Ami san sits beside Kenji and Ikuku and tries to comfort them.
"She needs all the support she can get right now"
Ikuku wipes her eyes.
"Yeah?" "Well where is that boy friend of hers?" she questions.
Usagi whimpers into Makoto's arms.
"MAMO-CHAN"
Kenji sees how hurt is daughter is; he rises up off the couch and looks at Rei san.
"You work in a temple don't you?" He asks.
Rei nods. "Yes, but if you don't mind me asking Mr Tsukino; Why is that?"
A sly grin breaks across his face.
"Spells, curses, fires"
"That oughtta teach that young slime a lesson"
The girls gasp.
"No Kenji" "You are not using any violence or…uh curses to harm that boy"
His wife firmly insists.
"Look at her Ikuku darling" He replies.
His eyes are filled with sadness at his daughters own grief.
"He takes away her innocence and then BAM runs off and hides"
His hurt has turned into seethe.
Usagi starts to cry even more.
"He won't come out of his apartment" Ami san says in dismay.
"Maybe you are the one to bring him out Usa-chan" Makoto advises.
Usagi kneels on the floor and nods her head in tears.
Rei feels that the entire story should be told before someone gets the wrong idea….
"UH well in all fairness Mr and Mrs Tsukino" She pipes up.
"It was Usagi's idea to get pregnant"
"REI?" Mako and Ami hiss.
Usagi looks up at her friend hurt and confused.
Rei looks away, and carries on talking.
"Mamoru was against the idea"
Mako threatens to punch her if she doesn't stop talking.
"Usagi thought it was the only way she could leave school early"
Makoto goes to swing at Rei, but Ami blocks her.
Rei looks at her brunette haired friend confused.
"What was that about, Mako-chan?" she hisses.
Makoto doesn't have time to reply, Ikuku is storming up to the girls. Her face is a deep red and her eyes are ablaze.
She looks at Usagi in the eye. Usa-chan cowers to her feet. The other three girls race over toward the couch.
"YOU STUPID GIRL" She screams.
Ikuku smacks Usagi hard across the face and points to the door.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE"
Usa rubs on her cheek, red from the hit and sobs.
Ikuku then glares at the three girls who are hiding behind the couch.
"Ami-san would you get her things please"
Ami freezes.
"NOW"
Ami runs upstairs.
Kenji looks over at Usagi with sad eyes.
"You heard your mother" He quietly says.
"DADDY" She yells.
Ikuku looks at the floor.
Usagi covers her face and cries. She slowly walks outside into the late afternoon air. It's cold and unfriendly.
Her parents had kicked her out of the house and Mamoru had locked himself away.
What was Usagi to do now?
"You two girls, Rei, Makoto" "Please leave this house"
Ikuku points to the door.
She does not take her eyes off the carpet.
Makoto looks saddened while Rei is annoyed by this.
She continues to moan the way back to Makoto's place.
"How dare she?"
"We were only trying to help"
Makoto plays with her necklace.
"PFFT" she scoffs.
Rei takes her focus off the wheel and looks at her friend.
"What was that Mako-chan?"
"Well, you didn't have to tell them everything" "Usagi may still be living at home if you had kept your big mouth shut"
Rei was furious at her friend's cold words. She wanted to tell Makoto what Minako and her beloved Motoki were doing all afternoon together. She refrained from doing so; Makoto didn't deserve to be that hurt.
Instead, Rei pulls over onto the side of the road and stops the car.
"Get out" "You can walk the rest of the way"
Makoto thrusts open the car door.
"FINE"
"GOOD" "HAVE FUN WALKING IN THE DARK"
She speeds off into the city.
"HA JOKES ON YOU REI, ITS NOT EVEN DARK YET" she retorts at the top of her lungs.
Feeling cold and slightly embarrassed about yelling like a maniac in public, Makoto calls Motoki on her cell phone for a ride.
"Hey this is Motoki"
"I must be somewhere doin something really important to miss your call"
"UH… or maybe my phone's not on"
"Leave a speech after the beep and I'll call ya"
Makoto cringes and redials again.
"Hey this is Motoki"…..
"Ack" She spits.
"Why would he switch his phone off?"
Meanwhile at Minako's
Her bedroom door was locked. The curtains were closed and her Mother was out for the day.
"Thank god the old hag is out for the afternoon" Minako moans.
Motoki lies on top of the blonde girl and removes her pink bra.
He kisses her neck and moves up to her lips. She giggles and rests her hands on his firm shoulders.
Minako loved how his body felt against hers. His hair fell over his face and sweat dripped from his forehead as he proceeds to please Minako san.
She closes her eyes and enjoys every moment of his passion making advances.
"Oh you're so good Moto-chan"
Emerald eyes meet light blue orbs. The two merge into one another's, becoming one.
"I hope Usagi is okay"…."Ah Moto" She yelps.
Motoki laughs. He flips Minako over and smiles.
"Everything will be fine" "I'll talk to him at college on Monday"
Everything was not fine…..
Usagi nervously waited by her boy friends apartment door. She had rang the buzzer and knocked on the door several times before he even bothered to ask who it was.
"Uh it's me" She quivers.
Mamoru didn't reply with any words. He did unlock door this time, letting Usagi in.
He looks around at his living space, avoiding any eye contact with her.
She stands by the door trembling with tears in her eyes.
"Mamo-Chan" "Why did you run away from me yesterday?"
He exhales loudly and looks at the floor.
Usagi moves a few steps closer.
"We go through things together"
"That's what you told me"
"We love each other"
She takes a few steps closer until she is standing beside him.
"You're my prince and I am you're princess"
She smiles through her tears.
"Isn't that what you said?"
She gently lifts up his arm.
"Mamo-chan?"
He yanks his arm away from her.
"I also said I wanted to TALK about this idea first Usagi"
She looks at the floor sadly.
"I thought, we could move in together now that I…"
"Ha MOVE IN?" "MOVE IN?"
I'M IN COLLEGE USAGI" YOU'RE MEANT TO BE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT"
"But you said we could" She cries.
"I MEANT WHEN YOU'RE OVER 18" he yells.
"In a few years when I have my degree then we talk about getting married"
Tears trickle down Usagi's delicate face. She understands Mamoru's point of view and feels awful for not respecting it.
However Usagi fails to understand one thing.
"Mamo-chan?" she asks.
He lifts his head up and looks in her direction.
"If that was you're plan for us then why did we………?"
He looks to the ceiling and sighs.
"Have sex?" he bluntly asks.
Usagi looks at her feet and nods bashfully.
"Well most couples our age tend to be more cautious"
"Take Moto and Makoto for example"
(Katie light "ha")
"I thought we were going to be like that too"
Usagi closes her eyes and races toward him.
She pulls on his arm again, not letting move away this time.
"Mamoru we can still be like that"
"We don't have to move in together right away"
"You can stay at college and we can worry about the baby later"
"Please Mamo-Chan" She pleads.
"Let me be with you"
Mamoru pulls Usagi in by the waist and looks in her eyes.
"Im sorry Usa-chan"
"It's too late for that"
He lets go of his grip around her and turns away.
"Mamo-chan" She yells.
"Don't call me that anymore Usagi san"
Silence fills the room……
All that can be heard a few seconds later is the sound of tears hitting the carpet floor.
Mamoru turns around and looks at Usagi sadly.
"I think you better go home now"
She scrunches her face at him and screams.
"I DON'T HAVE A HOME"
"I WAS KICKED OUT"
"What?" Mamoru gasps.
Usagi rushes out of Mamoru's apartment, not wanting to stick around and wait for him to say anything else.
She runs along the streets in floods of tears. Part of her is hurt, the other part is angry.
"How could he do this to me?" she cries.
She suddenly stops and remembers what Seiya had said before he left.
FLASHBACK
"If you need anything dumpling, you know where I am"
END FLASHBACK
Yaten is in his large room typing an essay on the computer when he hears a knock at the front door.
One of the maids goes to answer. He can hear Seiya being called downstairs, so naturally he leaves what he is doing and follows. Taiki was practicing some notes on the keyboard when he overhears someone crying. He too hurries to the front of the large house.
Both brothers look a little shocked when they see Usagi weeping into Seiya's arms by the front entrance.
"Mamoru broke up with me and Oka-san (mother) kicked me out"
"I'm sorry but I have nowhere else to go"
Seiya strokes Usa's long blonde hair and leads her upstairs.
"What are we a last resort?" Taiki snarls.
Seiya subtly kicks him in the shin on the way into his room.
Yaten suppresses a laugh.
Taiki glares at him and limps off.
Yaten stands in the middle of the hall and sighs.
"Never a dull moment round here"...
Ami is frantically trying to get a hold of Usagi.
"She isn't answering her phone" "I have her things with me"
She sits in Rei's room panicking while Rei paints her nails a darker shade of red.
"I really think you should make up with Makoto" Ami says.
Rei rolls her eyes and blows on her freshly painted finger tips.
"Rei san why are you so callous all of a sudden?"
Ami questions.
Rei smirks to herself.
"Oh I'm just being calm before the storm Ami-san" She casually replies.
Ami appears confused.
"Ah storm?"
Rei nods and looks at herself in the mirror.
"Oh yes Ami san" She replies.
"When I'm finished Mamoru won't know what has hit him"
Ami widens her eyes….
Just then her phone beeps!
"Oh Rei I just got a text from Makoto san"
"She says that Minako and Motoki have their phones switched off and she has to walk home alone in the dark"
Rei bites her bottom lip and throws Ami's jacket at her.
"Come on" She grabs her car keys.
Ami follows her outside.
"Onee-chan I won't be home till……….. Late" Rei calls.
Ami sighs and shakes her head.
Mamoru is lying on the couch watching television and thinking of Usagi.
"Was I too harsh?"
I just can't handle being a dad right now"
"She knows that" "Ah do I love her?"
"Did I ever love her?"
He agonizes these things to himself…...
All of a sudden his telephone rings.
He gulps when he answers, expecting Motoki; or perhaps Mrs Tsukino……or worse Rei-san
"Uh hello"
"Oh Mamoru san"
A feminine voice replies.
He breathes a huge sigh of relief.
"Soari san"
A smile breaks across his face.
TBC
Oooh what has Rei got planned?
Where are Haruka and Michiru?
