------------------------------------------------------
A groan of unhappiness left her pink lips as she pushed her feet forward.
"It will be a great experience… Don't worry. I'll be there to always protect you from him." Makoto was saying into her ear but Usagi was not in the mood for listening. A tsunami of emotions were colliding into her frame from all sides. It was difficult to remain optimistic. She was upset. Upset that she was so foolish to fall into someone's trap. The only consolation was that she wasn't foolish enough to fall into an enemy's trap. Her head rose as a breath caught in her throat. Could this be the enemy? She shook her head and dislodged that thought from her brain. Her head hung low once more as the five girls trudged towards Rei's temple. She felt stupid and she was angry. Angry that Mamoru-Baka knew her plight and that he had put her in a situation that he was going to teach her… damn him.
"Maybe we shouldn't tell her." Rei said suddenly as her feet drew to a stop before the ominous temple. Usagi stopped as the rest of the group drew to a silent halt in front of the Hikawa Shrine. Wind rustled around their features and Ami glanced towards Minako as Rei's suggestion floated in the air.
"She might attack us for letting Usagi get into this situation." Makoto said quietly and the five sets of eyes turned to the shrine as silence overtook them. That thought bounced around in their head until Minako stepped forward.
"We can't hide it from her… we'd be crazy to even try. It's better to tell her besides we are all humans… she is one little cat… it's just Luna." Minako said with a wink towards them as she walked towards the temple. The four remaining girls stood silent as they watched their leader lead the way. Minako was usually right…
--------
The deep gruttle growl ground through her throat like an earthquake and escaped through her vocal cords like a siren as the small black ball of fur flew forward. Usagi screamed as Minako's eyes widened.
"You did what?!" Luna's once serene voice echoed like a thousand thunder claps and Makoto gulped as she cowered in a corner with Ami and Usagi behind her.
"Minako-chan…" Artemis said quietly with a sad disapproving shake of his head. A scream left the blonde's lips as the flying Luna interacted with her chest and she fell backwards in alarm. Four more screams of alarm filled the room as the girls rushed to her rescue. Artemis's head dropped and his body plopped pathetically to the ground.
"Oh what a predicament…" He moaned hiding his eyes as the girls tried to disengage Luna's claws from Minako's clothing. Their screams filled the once peaceful temple and Artemis could only hum… hoping to drown out their screams of panic and blame.
------------
Ami gently pressed the band aid onto Minako's forearm and the blonde glared with anger to the now calm black ball of fur. She sat in front of Usagi protectively, her neck stretched and still as she glared down her nose at the four warriors across from her.
"Let me get this straight…" Artemis began sitting silently on the other side of Luna. "Usagi was signed up for a TV show called 'Seduce This' and none of you know how to seduce a guy so you got some outsider to help her?" He asked and the four held their tongues as Usagi sat pathetically depressed behind the two cats. The laughter that bubbled from Artemis' lips only annoyed the four warriors. Luna raised a single paw and her four claws shot out and Artemis choked on a laugh as he tried to stifle it.
"No one touches the Princess." Luna hissed, her fangs showing and Ami gulped stumbling back against Rei's frame. Rei's eyes widened and she nodded swallowing a gulp down her throat, Minako mimicking her same motion.
"Of course not. We shall protect her… but… she isn't the Princess in this time… she's just Usagi who has gotten into the weirdest predicament." Minako mumbled and Luna's eyes narrowed.
"No one touches Usagi-chan." She hissed with more venum and Usagi gulped, her hands gently folding in her lap. Silence passed over all of them. Luna hissed and the four warriors quickly nodded.
"Hai!" They cried in unison and Luna nodded approvingly. Artemis snickered and glanced at the blonde beauty who sat behind the stalking cat.
"Poor Usagi-chan… this will be a brand new experience for you." He mumbled and tears bubbled in Usagi's large eyes. Rei sighed leaning against Minako's frame as the four sat closely together opposite their sad classmen. With her head thrown back Usagi let out a tearful wail. Makoto put a hand over her head.
"It will be a long two weeks."
Day #1: Training Session at Mamoru-Baka's House.
7:00pm
He felt sick in his stomach and the girl beside him looked annoyed greatly. Nervously he ran a hand through his blonde hair and threw a smile at the quiet genius as the elevator doors opened.
"It will be all right." He said and Ami's blue eyes glanced at him and she wanted to roll them skyward. It was easy for him to say it was all right… he wasn't yelled at by a pissed black cat with razor sharp claws for an hour like the rest of them were. She let out a breath, forcing a smile on her lips as she nodded. She looked up and surprise jumped to her eyes and then a smile.
"Evening Motoki. Ami-chan." Minako said cheerfully and the two glanced past her to the pitiful form of Tuskino, Usagi cowering behind Hino, Rei, clutching to her arm for dear life as if she was the only life preserver in the torturous sea.
"Stop being such a chicken. You've faced worse." Rei sighed with a shake of her head and Usagi let out a whine and shook her head.
"How can you be so mean Rei-chan!" Usagi snapped and Rei rolled her eyes pushing the Princess off of her making her bump into Makoto.
"She's just a little scared… this isn't Usagi's fault." Makoto whispered and the priestess looked away with a defeated sigh as Usagi whipped her tears. She had faced worse but she would rather face them all again then put up with HIM. His very being annoyed her. His hair that fell just so into his big deep ocean eyes. His stupid taller frame that forced her to look up to him. Jerk.
"It's this one…" Motoki said pointing to a door as he gave it three rapt knocks. The door soon opened and the five girls stared with different reactions to the figure behind it. Ami looked away embarrassed, Makoto unsure of what was going on while Rei wanted to get this over with. Minako smiled and shoved a hesitant Usagi forward.
"This sucks." Usagi whined in English and Mamoru's eyebrow rose curiously.
"It's the only words she learned…" Ami sighed with defeat as she entered into the apartment. Usagi narrowed her eyes and followed after the blue genius. Mamoru smirked.
"Cute." He growled and shut the door behind them. He was already regretting this.
----------
She picked at another pepperoni and then finally abandoned the practice. Her blue eyes glanced towards the project. They had just begun after spending the evening talking it over. Logically she had figured out exactly how to teach Usagi and it helped her greatly to have an intellectual ally in Mamoru. The only problem was getting Usagi to cooperate and to have enough confidence in herself to pull it off. She looked at Rei who was watching closely as Minako did as well. She wondered what they would have to say about this… Rei being the most sexual of the group and Minako… being the goddess of love.
"He's going to come after you two ways…" Mamoru began before the nervous blonde who stood before him. She tugged at her blue jacket, wishing it were longer. Why was baka making her nervous? She glanced at the five at the dining table watching them. She let out a breath trying to relax as she focused her eyes again on her enemy. They narrowed. She really did find him annoying. "Are you listening?" He asked and his ocean eyes pierced through her own and she nodded, straightening her back. His eyes did remind her of the ocean…
"Unfortunately." She snapped and he rolled his eyes and held up his fingers.
"He's going to woo you or use your body against you…" He said and Usagi's nose twitched in disgust as she looked at him. A part of her brain was rejecting every thing he said because it was coming from his mouth and the other half was confused as all Dicken's to what the heck he was talking about.
"Use my body against me?" She snapped and she barely had time to lose the air in her lungs when she suddenly found herself pressed intimately against a wall. Panic flew through her system as she came eyeball to eyeball to the most mesmerizing blue eyes. They were deep seas, inviting those who stared into them to delve deeper. Her breath caught as she felt locked in position, his eyes searching her own almost as if he owned her. She was going to throw up. She let out an alarmed squeak as his body molded into hers and she quickly shoved him away rushing to the other side of the room. She felt warmth leave her body but he was something she did not want pressed against her.
Minako let out a breath and Ami looked back at her pizza. Perhaps this wouldn't be very easy…
"What are you doing!" Usagi's high-pitched voice screeched and Rei put a hand over her eyes and Motoki gulped looking away. Mamoru let out a breath and looked at the five sitting at his dining room table.
"At least she is not driven by her sex drive." He mused and Usagi gasped.
"Maybe I'm not attracted to you jerk!" She snapped and he made no visible response. He wasn't even going to dignify a response for such an outburst. He sucked in a deep breath. If he taught her this successfully she would be out of his hair… she would be out of his life and he would no longer have to put up with her immaturity and he could go back to his happy serious life. He let out a breath and the recurring thoughts calmed him giving him the strength he needed to continue and not throw her and her friends out on their ass. He motioned for Motoki to come forward and the blonde stood.
"Hopefully you don't have a sex drive." Mamoru mumbled and Rei shook her head and Usagi gasped.
"I do!" She screeched and then looked towards her friends and Ami pressed her lips together. "Don't I?" She asked quietly in an uncertain tone and she winced when she heard Mamoru's laughter flutter into her ears. She felt her skin crawl. He was behind her. His finger ran across her shoulder blades and she clenched her teeth together as his lips came near her ear.
"I'm sure you do. You just haven't discovered it yet." He mused and then her sapphire eyes were diverted to Motoki's dazzling smile. "This will be an example of the first way a man can seduce a woman. Pay attention Odango." Mamoru mumbled and Usagi blinked as Motoki pulled her gently into his arms. What was Baka talking about?
"I'm so sorry this is happening to you Usagi-chan… If I could I would take you far far away from this… just the two of us." He whispered into her golden hair and Usagi's crystal eyes turned to the four rigid spectators and one relaxed Chiba leaning against his couch. Minako looked at her uncertainly and Usagi gulped looking up towards the arcade guy she had come to know and appreciate over the last four years. "I love you Usagi-chan…" His voice rolled over her skin and she gulped glancing into his eyes.
"Motoki?" She asked uncertainly and Ami looked away with a shake of her head. Makoto's jaw dropped a centimeter and Minako put a hand on the Senshi of Lightings arm. Suddenly Usagi pushed away from his arms and Motoki stood there a little saddened. "That's a lie." She whispered and suddenly she felt hands press against her shoulders and felt her back press against a hard surface.
"But you wanted it to be real." Mamoru whispered into her ears and Usagi stared back at the handsome arcade guy and she let out a breath, images assaulting her from her years in junior high.
"He has a girlfriend." She cried and Mamoru held her closer to him. She let out a grunt. Why the hell was he invading her personal space?!
"Does it matter?" He whispered and Usagi yanked out of his arms and let out a scream.
"What the hell! I didn't ask for this!" She screamed and Rei stood.
"Usagi… none of us asked for this and we certainly didn't want it to happen to you… they are trying to help you." She whispered walking towards her and Usagi felt as if she was going to have a nervous breakdown. Emotions slammed into her and all she wanted to do was crawl under her comforter and cry.
"How the hell is this helping!" She screeched and then tears filled her eyes.
"No!" Rei suddenly snapped putting a finger before her face and Usagi bit back a sob. "Don't cry." She ordered and Usagi gulped staring into violet eyes. "You are a Princess." She whispered and Usagi blinked and Ami glanced at Makoto who grinned slightly. "You have power." She whispered and Mamoru smirked eyeing them as Motoki quietly moved to sit down once more. Rei went quite the distance in pep talks, Mamoru thought. Rei pushed Usagi to a full-length mirror and Usagi gulped staring into it. "You are a star." She whispered and Usagi nodded slightly. "They only want to use you… this isn't real love Usagi… remember real love?" She asked and Usagi nodded quietly glancing at Rei's perfect reflection. "This is a game… we can win it but you have to enter into it with no feelings… no emotions… just power… the celebrity will try to make you fall in love with him… but you are already taken." Rei smirked and a small smile tugged at Usagi's lips. "Remember that you are stronger then they will ever be." She said into Usagi's ear and Usagi glanced at her uncertainly and Rei nodded.
"For this one moment you are going to harden your heart…" A female voice said standing and Usagi gulped glancing at the tall frame before her, chestnut hair curling at her shoulders. "You are in control." She smiled and Minako stood dragging Motoki up with her and she smirked running a hand up his shirt and then wrapping a leg seductively around his own and he gulped.
"You will seduce them…" She whispered and Usagi gulped clutching her hands to her chest as she watched. Minako leaned forward and Motoki let out a breath and then she released him, his frame toppling to the floor and the blonde smirked. "You will win."
Motoki sat up and Ami let out a breath and shook her head watching everything before her. Mamoru watched silently and then waited for Usagi's reaction. This was a completely different side he had ever seen from these high school girls. They were in high school weren't they?
"Understand Usagi?" Rei asked quietly and the blonde stared at the floor. There were several more moments of silence… and then it was shattered by a wail. Her legs gave way and she toppled to the hardwood floor upon her knees. Minako blinked and Rei's lips parted in surprise.
"I don't want to do this!!!" Usagi's wail filled the apartment and Mamoru let out breath with a shake of his head. Her sobs gasped in air frantically as they echoed throughout the apartment. "Mommie!" She screeched and he put a hand to his head. He had a lot of work ahead of him.
-----------------
"Ok… The show is two Friday's from now and it's Sunday. We have twelve days… no problem. We can do this in twelve days." Motoki said, his voice slightly shaking with doubt and blue eyes stared at him like he had gone insane.
"Are you nuts? Were you at my apartment last night?" He gasped and Motoki gulped remembering Usagi locking herself in the bathroom while they attempted to coax her out. It was their second practice and they were going nowhere fast. He had determined that if Rei or Minako had been dupped into the show they would win within five seconds. "This was not that great of an idea… She's going to lose and there is nothing we can do to stop it now. I mean she won't even try." He said with a shake of his head and let out a breath. He wasn't one to admit defeat… suddenly a hand smacked on the counter making him almost jump.
"We can't give up! Come on when has the great Mamoru Chiba ever given up?" He snapped and a breath left tired lips.
"She's so vulnerable… you would have to get her to be in love with someone before she went on the show. She's loyal like that." He mumbled over his coffee cup. He looked downwards, because at that moment he didn't see his best friend's face light up in triumph.
"That's it! Get Usagi to fall in love with you!" He cried and Mamoru glared at him, almost spilling his coffee in surprise. "She is loyal!" He grinned and he let out a breath as if a huge burden had been lifted off his chest. Mamoru leaned in closer, their conversation drawing attention and his voice lowered.
"Are you mad?! I can't make a high school girl fall in love with me for two weeks and then up and drop her! I wouldn't even do that to Usagi!" He snapped and Motoki grinned at him.
"Why don't you have her fall in love with Tuxedo Kamen?" He smirked and Mamoru's eyes narrowed in warning.
"No. I am not making Usagi fall in love with anyone… I will just teach her." He snapped and stood. He glared once more at his best friend and then walked away.
"Well… not the affect I wanted but at least he is still on the job." Motoki said with a breath. He leaned against the counter and waited. The girls would be in soon…

Day #3 : Training Session 3 – Hikawa Shrine
He looked up at the bright sunlight shining upon him and then over to the quiet blonde that was finishing her snack. Why he had dragged himself out here he would never know. These girls were getting on his nerves… especially since Motoki gave Minako his cell phone number and she called him every day to ask where they would have their sessions. If he would have known he was getting into this much… he'd have let the little tart lose. He put a hand on his hip and stared at her, trying to get her attention. He had been waiting for ten minutes now.
"Are you ready now?" His voice drawled out and sparkling blue eyes looked up at him. For a moment Mamoru wondered if he needed to give her lessons… she could win anyone over with those doe eyes. She stood brushing off her fingertips as she stalked towards him. He suddenly remembered why she needed lessons… the child would fall for the first guy who smiled at her.
"Yes, mighty dictator." She snapped and he glanced at his teaching assistant for the day. Rei and Minako were proving to be the most valuable assets in training Usagi yet he wondered where it was the girls got the knowledge from.
"A girl is graceful… we want you to look enchanting… not sluttish. Guys are visually driven… slight touches here and there will drive a man insane." He informed and she looked at him with curiosity. Gently he ran a finger up her arm. She gasped aloud as tingles shot up and goose bumps appeared. "Deliberate movements yet not forceful…" He breathed taking a step closer to her and Rei crossed her arms across her chest monitoring. An image of Luna attacking her briefly filled her mind. Mamoru was more assertive then she would have imagined… she gulped as she watched him take a stance in front of Usagi. Usagi glanced up at him, her breath held tightly in her chest and she dared not move. His smooth fingertips ran across her shoulder blades and then up her neck to her ear. He bent down and her eyes widened and a small eep left her lips when she felt him take a nibble at her tender skin. Her arms reached up to push him away but his hands were there first. Their fingers intertwined and she looked at him as if he was the most vile creature on earth.
"Expressions like that may not get you anywhere." He mumbled pulling away from her and she wrapped her arms quickly around herself. Tingles traveled through her system and she felt her heart race pound. Why did he have to be so close?
"Just think of it as being friendly." Rei said as she took a step behind Mamoru. Usagi watched as Rei's hand gently slid up Mamoru's bicep as her face came near his and she smiled near his ear, her other arm wrapping around his chest. Mamoru grinned at her. For a split second something passed through Usagi she had never felt before and it made her face flush. Rei blinked and stepped away from her dummy and looked at Usagi curiously.
"Are you feeling all right?" She asked with a twinge of worry and Usagi nodded.
"Yes." She ground out and then stomped the few steps gap that was between her and Mamoru. "So basically….all I have to do is rub my hands suggestively over someone." She grumbled and Mamoru shook his head.
"That is one of the first steps." He mumbled gently putting a hand on her shoulder. The fingers traveled up until he caught her chin and raised her head so their eyes met. "The next become a bit more complicated."
"Hello all!" Minako cried walking up to them and Usagi tore away from Mamoru's gasp and sucked in air. She couldn't remember when she had stopped breathing but she was glad she finally started once more. Two figures walked towards them. "Sorry we're late… Ami had cram school." Minako said as the petite genius beside her blushed slightly.
"Gomen ne." She whispered.
"No problem… we were just starting." Mamoru replied with a breath and Minako
glanced around as she shrugged out of her coat. Summer was coming.
"Where is Motoki-san?" She asked and Mamoru shrugged slightly and turned his
attention back to the blonde before him.
"He had to work at the arcade… Usagi." He said and the blonde blinked and looked up at him. "Relax." He mumbled walking away from her and Usagi gasped.
"Relax?!" She yelled at him in shock and then her figure stormed after him. "Me? Relax? I hate this! I've been signed up for one of the worst game shows ever in Tokyo! My parents are going to see it because my face is going to be plastered on billboards! Some guy is going to pretend to like me and try to hurt me and I have to learn in less then 12 days how to make him fall for me instead which means I have to spend everyday with you! And I hate you!!" She yelled at him and Mamoru glanced at her patiently. Minako's mouth dropped slightly and Rei rolled her eyes. She sucked in deep breaths, her eyes bearing into his with venom and he leaned forward. He didn't have time for this. She blinked but not soon enough when she felt something warm press against her lips. His hand slid behind her neck propping her face upwards as he pressed his lips into hers kissing her.
"Ah!" Ami cried grasping onto Minako and Minako stared in shock. Rei felt sick and than horror spread across her face. Mamoru was kissing Usagi. Mamoru was kissing their Princess… Mamoru was touching Usagi and their Princess… Luna was going to kill them. Their lips meshed together almost in slow motion. A figure trotted up to them and stopped with a smile.
"Hey guys… what's… Oh my…" Makoto's voice trailed off as she watched Mamoru continue upon Usagi's defenseless lips. He pulled away, his fingers still holding onto her neck and chin. His eyes opened to see her wide eyes staring at him with an unreadable expression. A smirk fell to his lips as he took a step back, his hands sliding from her flesh.
"Feel better?" He asked and she shook her head, her whole body trembling as she stared at him with horror. "Can we continue now?" He asked again and she fell silent for a moment and nodded finally.
"One second." She whispered, her voice jumpy as she slowly walked a few paces away from them. Mamoru glanced towards the four girls who stared at him with shock. He smirked. Suddenly he heard a high pitched scream and then a plop. He nodded.
"She's getting better." He mumbled quietly and Ami rushed towards the blonde's form draped on the ground.
"So… her not fainting next time would be progress?" Makoto asked with a slight gulp and Mamoru glanced behind him to see Minako and Ami pull Usagi to a sitting position.
"Geeze… it's not like she hasn't kissed before… Come on it is just Mamoru-san!" Rei yelled and Usagi let out another painful wail and Rei winced and looked innocently at Usagi. "Maybe we need a few more days." She said quietly and Mamoru shook his head slightly.
"We need a month." He mumbled and Rei and Makoto's shoulders sagged. This sucked.

I hope you enjoyed the new revised version. I wanted to add a few more bits in there filling in gaps as to… what was Luna's reaction when she found out? How was she going to handle it? What were the emotions the girls were experiencing on the first day?
I also decided to help myself along by tagging the days as we go… looking back I see I began to jump around and my panic was caused when I realized I was running out of days to fulfill the giant plotline I had in store for the characters. It was asking a lot to shove that much into so little days although we all know a lot can happen in one day I didn't want all of the action to do that. Thus why I am overhauling this massive re-write.
This chapter remained semi-untouched with new scenes added and more lines interweaves but be waiting for massive overhauls to come in the next two chapters.
Please also don't review to chapter 5… I'm going to delete that so all of it will be erased.
Good Night and God Bless!
