Day 12

7:20 am

Usagi's bedroom.

Day of the Celebrity Guest Announcement.

Her frame rocked slowly in the corner of her room as her arms held to the small amount of security she had left. With a delicate paw Luna gently caressed Usagi's face as she purred for all she was worth trying to wash over the Princess with what she desperately needed: comfort.

The blonde had stumbled into the room about forty minutes ago and Luna had jumped right into her arms letting the blonde collapse in a corner to try and put together her fragile system that had been shattered over the last two days events.

She smelt it on her Princess as she held her closely to her chest, seeking her guardian's comfort and love. She had figured she had gone back to Mamoru's after the senshi had brought her home and now she realized why although she had a sneaking suspicion. She closed her eyes sadly emitting more comfort towards the emotionally damaged child. She had become a woman overnight with emotions raging to the point of break. Poor sweet Usagi-chan…

"Was I wrong? Are you angry at me?" The muffled words hit Luna's ready ears and she shook her head burrowing it against Usagi's neck nuzzling to her.

"No, Usagi-chan. I am not angry… I am worried… sad you had to go through all of this…" Luna replied and Usagi nodded and finally she stopped rocking.

"I love him and I felt his love for me… in some sick way I should be excited that he loves me for me… as Usagi, Tuskino.. and I am… I mean I'm not really Serenity, I'm a different person and he loves me for me… it makes me feel so complete Luna… I don't regret anything I've done with him… but… he hates my past and that part of me is devastated." Usagi's voice trailed off and Luna sighed. She debated telling her Princess that her Prince had serious psychological issues yet thought that it would not be the most appropriate time for that.

"Ah… so this is what morning looks like." The voice came from outside the room and than soon entered as a figure stepped gracefully through the open window. Usagi's eyes glanced towards the figure and a smile lit the intruder's face as she spied her Princess on the floor in the corner. Slowly Minako's frame crouched down to go eyelevel with her best friend as another feline jumped into the room. "Are you all right?" Minako asked gently and Usagi shook her head slowly.

"I'm not a virgin anymore." Usagi whimpered quietly and Luna gulped glancing at the leader of Usagi's Senshi. She knew Usagi wasn't, but it still sucked to hear it out loud. She blamed that on her motherly instincts. Minako let out a breath and Artemis looked at the two in the corner with shock. Talk about out of left field.

"Usagi-chan… I think it's time we had a talk." Minako said gently as she stood and walked towards her Princess gently pulling her to her feet. "Usagi… when Ami and I discovered who you really were and why we were really here the past suddenly became clear to me." Minako said soothingly as she led her Princess towards her bathroom. "I remember…" Minako smiled gently pushing a blonde strand behind her Princess's ear. "You were rambunctious then and so in love with him… and you were terribly young then too…" Minako smiled as she flicked on the lights in the bathroom and turned towards the shower. Usagi leaned against the counter still clutching to her cat like a life-line as Luna and Artemis listened. Minako pulled out a towel and started the water pushing it to a warm enough temperature. Minako let out a breath and turned to her.

"You know, you both had your problems back then too… this is just a set back… With his emotional breakdown and yours… it's ok." Minako said softly and Usagi's eyebrows rose.

"It is?" Usagi asked and Minako nodded as did Luna. Of course Luna was agreeing now yet the minute Usagi got her wits about her and Mamoru stopped going off the deep end… she would make him bleed and chastise her ear off. Make him bleed a lot. Her claws started to sneak out at the thought and quickly she retracted them. Understanding friend. She was going to be the understanding friend right now. Minako motioned towards the shower and Usagi gulped as she stepped towards it. Minako stopped her and gently pried the cat from her fingers.

"They don't like water." Minako rationalized and Usagi nodded and finally after a few discarded clothes stepped into the shower. Her thighs throbbed and as the warm water rushed over her, her eyes started at the ground watching the copper liquid fade away.

"I really love him Minako-chan…" Usagi said over the water and Minako nodded sitting on the counter as she held the emotionally exhausted kitty in her arms. Artemis jumped to sit beside her as they stared at the shower curtain.

"I know." Minako said approvingly and Usagi slowly poked her head out.

"It's really different this time… I mean it's not like when…" Usagi began and Minako's back stiffened and she shook her finger at her Princess.

"We can't compare this to that Usagi-chan." She chided and Usagi slowly slinked back into the shower and her gaze fell to the wall as memories resurfaced that she had long since discarded. Her eyes closed as she sucked in a steadying breath.

"I thought I loved him." She whispered and Minako blinked as she strained her ear towards the shower thinking she had heard something in there. Usagi's head suddenly popped out again. "I mean he… well… s… he loved me didn't he?" Usagi finally stuttered out, unsure of how still to classify what had happened when she was fourteen. Minako blinked shocked at her. Why would she bring this up? Shouldn't she be thinking about the man she had just shared a horribly intimate moment with or the stupid celebrity guest that was about to try and steal her virtue? Not some stupid accident with that… she growled thinking about it.

"Yes, Usagi-chan. He did love you but he's long gone now. He's never going to come back and you have Mamoru-san now." Minako said adding a bright inflection to her voice and Usagi nodded and disappeared once more behind the curtain. "The girls are in the living room…" Minako said and Usagi stepped out with a towel wrapped around her. Minako smiled and stood as Usagi stood before the mirror. "It's almost over Usagi-chan… and than we can plan all of yours and Mamoru-san's dates! This is going to be wonderful!" Minako cried rushing out of the bathroom with excitement and Usagi stared at her with shock. She looked back at the mirror at the limp blonde hair that hung around her.

"Goddess of Love you know." Artemis mumbled as he too exited to give Usagi her privacy.

"Hey! He's my boyfriend!" Usagi cried out and than gasped covering her hand over her mouth. Boyfriend? "Mamo-chan's my boyfriend?" Usagi said out into the air and Luna settled on her paws closing her eyes as if to take a nap.

"Dear… after last night that man's going to marry you or face castration." Luna growled out and a bright blush rose to Usagi's cheeks as she stared at herself once more in the mirror. A part of her felt ashamed… yet the rest of her felt like it had really started living, like she had let go and unlocked some hidden part of herself. Gently her fingertips touched the glass as her eyes stared into the reflection.

"He doesn't know it Luna… but… the thing he hates most is the thing he just helped me fully become." Usagi whispered quietly and Luna nodded gently burying her face on her paws atop the counter. "Will he still love me when I tell him?"
"Usagi-chan… a part of him fell in love with you because of who you were, he just doesn't know that… two souls that are intertwined like yours will not be stopped no matter what… I mean… worlds were destroyed for your love, if you guys don't get together, we'll be very pissed."

Usagi's jaw dropped a few centimeters as Luna's words hit her ears. At least the cat was being candid.
"No pressure." Usagi gulped and suddenly felt the world once more upon her shoulders as Luna tried to get a small cat nap in. "Sixteen really sucks." The whimper died in the bathroom as Usagi pushed herself to get ready. The girls were waiting for her… the end of this week was waiting for her. She had to get going.

7:30 am

Tsukino Residence

"Coffee girls?" The tired voice of Ikuko Tsukino met the girls ears and Rei glanced at Ami with uncertainty. Usagi's mother walked back into the kitchen without a response from anyone.

"Did she just offer us coffee?" Minako asked quietly and Makoto stared after her.

"She's still a bit traumatized… she'll be fine." Ami re-assured and Makoto blinked looking at them.

"You guys don't drink coffee?" She asked a little sheepishly wondering why she was suddenly the only one who did. Minako glared at her.

"Not unless it's four bucks and has whip cream on it." The blonde replied when suddenly the stairs squeaked as Usagi trotted down to meet them. Immediately they all stood as she entered. Usagi opened her mouth to say good morning when her mother's sigh caught her off guard.

"That's so sweet… I'm so glad my Usagi has friends like all of you girls." Ikuko's eyes looked heavy and she hugged her spatula to herself. "I hope you stay with her forever."
"Well, that is the plan." Rei smiled walking towards the blonde as she shoved her book bag towards her. Usagi looked at her mother sadly.

"Bye mom." Usagi whispered and suddenly she was enveloped in a fierce bear hug as her mother clung to her. Rei had almost moved to intercept the action, her nerves telling her pain was coming towards her Princess. Minako's hands grabbed Rei back and the priestess blinked. Goodness this family was weird…

"Everything will work out Usagi. Don't worry! Boys will still want to date you after this!" Ikuko cried and Usagi's face twisted into confusion.

"I love you Mom." Usagi whispered and Ikuko nodded, a small tear traveling down her cheek and than smiled at her daughter squeezing her shoulders with reassurance.

"Have a great day at school." Her mother chimed and waved them all off her spatula.

Ami and Rei's arms linked through Usagi's as they walked in silence down the street. There was really no need for Usagi to speak. All of them knew, she knew they all knew… their was really nothing more that needed to be said.

"So…" Makoto's voice cut the unbearable silence and Usagi's head slowly turned towards her as she spoke. "What was it like?" Makoto's brown eyes blinked innocently and Rei's jaw dropped as a bright blush rose to Ami's cheeks. Minako swallowed a laugh painfully as Usagi stared at the senshi of lighting with confusion.

"Makoto-chan!" Ami scolded and reached forward pinching the cook's arm.

"What the hell is wrong with you? We weren't going to talk about it!" Rei growled out as they continued walking and Makoto gasped.

"Well, its not like we weren't going to ask her! Come on! You want to know too!" Makoto cried and Usagi felt a small smile tug at her lips. The three senshi began to yell at each other and she felt reassured at that. Everything was normal… they were still sixteen year old heroines but they were still.. sixteen… best friends for life who wanted to know everything about each other. For the first time in two days a genuine smile lit Usagi's features and she hugged Ami and Rei's arms tighter to her which brought the girls out of their yelling spout.

"Are you all right Usagi-chan?" Ami asked with a twinge of worry and Usagi sucked in a deep breath and nodded.

"It hurt like hell but after that… it was totally worth it." Usagi spouted and three feminine frames suddenly stopped in their tracks letting the blonde walk forward as shock registered on their faces. Ami turned two shades redder as Rei gulped a slight pink rising to her cheek and Makoto looked at the ground with embarrassment.

Minako smirked trotting forward to link her arms with her Princess as the two fell into leisurely banter. Rei glanced at Ami who's eyes were wide and mouth suddenly dry. Makoto glanced at them and the three turned and looked at the two blondes talking animatedly before them.

"Um…" Rei called as the three suddenly took off to catch up with them.

"What do you mean it hurt? It hurts?" Makoto asked as the three crowded around her and Ami looked at Makoto like she had lost her mind.

"Didn't you pay attention in seventh grade?" Ami growled and Rei crowded close around Minako.

"What else?" Rei asked sheepishly and Minako smirked at the slight embarrassed look on Rei's face and Rei gulped trying to regain some of her dignity as they continued their walk.

7:58 am

Juuban High School

"Rei is going to meet us here at 8:40, we can sneak out and head over to Tokyo Square for the announcement all right?" Ami reminded her as she glanced at her watch.

The four Juuban High Students rounded the corner to enter into the courtyard when suddenly yelling overtook their thoughts.

"What the…" Minako mumbled with curiosity as she stepped forward than her eyes widened. "Usagi-chan…" Minako cried and the blonde turned and suddenly her heart stilled. Signs and students littered the front lawn and were chanting her name. Screams erupted once she came into sight.

"Oh Usagi-chan!" Naru's excited voice met her ears as the brunet ran up to her. "Look! Everyone is rooting for you! We're so excited… we really believe you can win Usagi-chan!" Naru cried, love and hope shining in her eyes and Usagi stepped through the gates and stared at that kanji covered signs and she blushed slightly as a small smile came to her lips.

"Go Usagi-chan!"

"We believe you can do it!"

"Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan! Usagi-chan!"

Naru's arm linked with her best friend as they surveyed the crowd before them. Usagi wasn't just playing for herself anymore… she wasn't playing for her parents or Mamoru or the girls… she was suddenly playing for all of Tokyo… for the normal man against the glorified celebrity… great… that was all she needed… more pressure.

8:30 am

Day 12
Hikawa Shrine

She moved with a fluid grace around the room as she studied the ancient artifacts.

"You always did love Rei's temple." Haruka said softly and Michiru responded with a deep mmm-hmm. "I'm glad we're here."
"Me too." Michiru smiled turning a glance towards her friend. "It's a pity you have that stunt to do…"
"We have tickets for the girls, they can come with us." Haruka said rationally as she thought about the stunt her publicist had signed her up for. What a racecar driver was doing trying to build her fame she will never know… it's racing… how popular did you really need to be?

"That was Mamoru-san wasn't it last night?" Michiru asked as she took another turn around the room. Haruka brushed her knuckles against her lip as she thought about the previous nights events. That was Mamoru-san. An old high school friend of theirs they weren't that close to but had felt drawn to none the less. Haruka had even been jealous of the man once or twice… But all that was revealed last night was so uncertain. It explained why the two had felt something from him long ago but it did not explain why he had injured Usagi… it would also not give him a good enough excuse to save his ass when Haruka came to hand it to him on a platter. The woman sighed and turned her green eyes to her partner and watched her intently as their companions entered through the side entrance.

"Usagi-chan safely at school?" Michiru's voice wafted around the room like music as she turned a smile to the two feline advisors and bowed her head to them. Luna and Artemis returned the gesture and mimicked it to Haruka.

"It is great to see you. We are happy to have you once again with us." Artemis said sitting peacefully next to Luna's side and Haruka smiled from her sitting position towards them.

"We love Odango, we wish we could visit more but we want her to have a normal life… and we are anything but normal." Haruka smirked casting a glance to her partner and Michiru grinned with a gentle nod.

"Seems we have come at an inoportune time." Michiru said as she walked towards them to kneel next to Haruka as they prepared to take tea.

"We had to tell Minako and Ami the truth about the great war… it came as a great shock to them." Artemis mumbled sadly and Haruka blinked and leaned forward.

"I thought we had agreed to not tell them until it was absolutely necessary…" Haruka said with a slight growl and Michiru's smile turned into a sorrowful frown.

"It had become necessary… they were confused, memories were surfacing… I had to tell them the truth, I couldn't lie to her anymore." Artemis's voice was heavy, as if he had been carrying a great burden.

"Once they discovered the truth they went in search of Endymion." Luna picked up and Haruka felt a growl die in her throat.

"Oh Lord. I imagine that man was him?" She asked and Luna nodded and let out a sad sigh.

"Usagi was already in love with him before she even knew… the last two days have been very emotional… with the television show, their seduction lessons…" She began and Michiru and Haruka sat up and glared at the two with suspicion.

"What seduction lessons?" Haruka asked, her voice getting a tad bit hostile.

"What television show?" Michiru questioned and Artemis blinked and than gasped.

"Oh you don't know… About two weeks ago Usagi-chan was duped into doing a television show called Seduce This…" Artemis began and Michiru sat back as her mind tried to remember what that show was.

"Seduce this…" She whispered and color slowly began to drain from Haruka's face.

"It's where a celebrity is pitted against a normal girl and they have to seduce one another… Mamoru and Motoki offered to give Usagi seduction methods… and…" Luna started explaining when suddenly the table shook and Haruka stood roughly. Michiru soon followed after as her hands covered her mouth in a horrified gasp.

"Seduce this!" Michiru cried and looked at Haurka with a horrified expression. "That means…"

"That's why…" Haruka said and the two cats looked at them with confusion, uncertainty brewing in their stomachs.

"The girls are on their way to Tokyo Square now… the announcement of the celebrity guest is today." Luna said with a slight stutter, somewhat afraid of what was going on in the two older senshi's minds.

"We have to hurry…" Haruka said and grasped onto Michiru's hand as the two bolted from the room. Luna took off after them, Artemis hot on her tail.

8:56 am

Tokyo Station

A smirk curled upwards on his lips as his eyes surveyed the madness below him. Tokyo Square was already bustling and in four minutes they would release the pictured banner of their celebrity guest. The pulleys and ropes were in place and as he watched the maintenance men roam around the platform his smirk could only grow more. He hoped for riots.

"It's ready sir." Kimo said behind him and Omoto nodded gravely. This would be his masterpiece. He stared into the bright blue eyes of Usagi, Tsukino. The twelve foot banner of her had helped their publicity along and at the moment a team of ten Tokyo Station interns were waiting for the clock to strike nine so they can dispatch into the city posting up accompanying posters to the blonde of her challenger. "This almost didn't happen you know." Kimo pointed out and Omoto's gaze drifted from the blonde to his partner. He could see the stress implementing itself upon the younger man's frame as his shoulders hunched with exhaustion. For the last two days they had been on the phone with the celebrity's publicist when suddenly the celebrity just vanished. They got word later that he had arrived in Tokyo with his partner late last night but nothing else had been heard from them. They would most likely stay in hiding until the show. He wasn't sure how it was pulled off or what had been negotiated but he didn't care… he was paying this celebrity a shitload but it would be worth it to watch that little girl fall apart on national television… who wouldn't fall apart before the celebrity you once loved as a child?

"Stop worrying… this is perfect. In three minutes that banner will fall and it will seal her doom and our ratings forever." Mr. Omoto smirked as he turned away from the window towards his desk. Kimo let out a breath and shook his head.

"You're going to ruin her life. Do you even care about that?" His voice had risen a pitch he had never taken with his partner. Omoto's green eyes slowly turned and took in the tired form before him. It was certainly a little late to be growing a conscious.

"Frankly, I wouldn't be upset if she won you know…" Mr. Omoto said as his plump frame fell into his Italian leather chair. He turned it with his toe to watch the unveiling. Two minutes to go.

"You know… I've heard some rumors about this celebrity…" Mr. Kimo began and Mr. Omoto nodded, his fingers steepling as his eyes bore into the empty building wall that would soon be filled with a color painting of his newest highlight.

"Yes, that is why he's sojourned himself up in Europe the past few years… you really shouldn't worry about it. Everything is going to work out perfectly." Mr. Omoto smirked as suddenly the banner rolled from its hinges down to the bottom of the building unfolding the future of Seduce This. "Just perfectly."

8:56 am

Tokyo Square

Announcement of the Celebrity Guest

With a nervous gulp Ami jumped off of the bus as the other girls rushed up the street. She had cut school… true she had done it before but it was because the world was ending… she figured her teachers would understand. She glanced at the bobbing pig tales in front of her and swallowed her nerve. Usagi needed her right now… they all needed to be there.

"Gomen." Rei said again for the third time at making them late and Usagi stilled as they entered into the square, people bustling around. Her picture was everywhere. Everyone now knew her face and she gulped at that idea. As a superhero… you didn't really want to draw attention to your real identity and all.

"Are you nervous?" Makoto said next to her as her fingers slipped into Usagi's and Usagi let out a slight nervous laugh and waved the feeling off with her hand.

"Me? Nah… I have a boyfriend now… I'm faithful… I'm loyal…" Usagi began confidently when suddenly something caught in her ear.

"Did you hear that?" Minako asked as she spun looking around the crowded street.

"I could have sworn I heard Odango." Rei said walking closer to them when suddenly there it was again.

"Oh my gosh! Their unveiling it!" Makoto cried as she pointed towards the tall building that was across from Tokyo Station. Usagi's picture was plastered up on the left side in a big twelve foot banner and suddenly the one to her right was scrolling down with speed and the girls held their breath.

"Odango!" Haruka's voice carried over the crowd and Usagi blinked turning towards it as the face began to materialize before them.

"Ruka-chan?" Usagi asked when suddenly Minako let out a horrified gasp and her hands rushed to her lips. Makoto's fingers fell from her own and Rei's head shook with disbelief.

"No…" The priestess mumbled quietly almost to herself but Usagi had heard it. A sudden fear jumped into the bottom of Usagi's stomach. Who was it? Was it that new idol from Here and now, the total hunk? Didn't matter… she could win against him… she loved Mamoru… she loved Mamoru… she… she turned and her cerulean eyes widened as they took in the flesh tones and features of the banner beside her own. Dark brown and hazel eyes stared down into her own and she felt her throat constrict as the world suddenly was swept out from under her.

"Oh my God…"

The author sighs with satisfaction as she posts the new chapter of Touch Me There. Suddenly apprehension hits her as she waits patiently for review... she had just left the biggest cliffhanger of her career to readers who have already proven violent tendencies. With panic she stood, the chair falling from beneath her. She had to hide! They were going to kill her!

She paused on her frantic way down the hall to pack a bag and prepare for a trip across the border to save her life. They can't kill her... she knows the ending! Visibly her frame relaxes as she leans against a wall. Oh God... the reviews... she suddenly bursts into laughter. People are going to be pissed. This is going to be great...

Review away and know that the next chapter is going to reveal what we have all been waiting for for over six months!
Yes, I promise... the celebrity guest will finally be revealed in Chapter 10. Feel free to faint at any moment. ;) Only 3 more days in the fic left! (not for me to post of course since we've seen it take many moons already) What is going to happen? Sometimes I don't even know... hmph.

Good night and God Bless,

Marronett
