Betrayed

Chapter Two: Changed

Usagi confidently walked into the salon and the hairdresser smiled at her.

"What can I do for you hun?" She asked. Usagi removed the odangoes from her hair.

"I'd like my hair cut until it is a little past my shoulders and layered. I also want purple streaks in it" Usagi said. The hairdresser clucked her tongue.

"Are you sure, hun?" She asked. "It's gorgeous the way it is"

"I need to change it" Usagi said. The hairdresser sighed and motioned for Usagi to sit in the chair. It took a long time for the hairdress to finish Usagi's new look. When she was done, Usagi took a look in the mirror and gasped. She did not look like herself at all, but she liked it. She paid the hairdresser and left the salon. Next she went to a nail salon and got french tips. After that she decided it was time to go shopping. She had thrown all of her clothes away, except her school uinforms, ready to buy a whole new wardrobe, with the money saved from allowances, birthdays and christmases. She bought black knee high boots, several pairs of pumps, several miniskirts in several colors, a tight leather jacket and several really short jean shorts. She also bought skin tight jeans and tops that revealed her middriff. Once she was done shopping, she took her purchases home and changed into a black leather miniskirt, a red top that showed her stomach with her newly pierced belly button, and her leather jacket. She put on a pair of sun glasses, and grabbed her brandnew small black handbag. She hurried out to her car and drove to the Crown. When she entered, she looked around for Motoki and saw him up at the counter.

"Hi Motoki-kun" She greeted with a slight smile. Motoki stared at her for a moment, before recognition flashed in his eyes.

"Usagi, what are you doing dressed like that?" He asked, eying her get-up.

"I needed a change" She said. "Motoki, Did you know about Mamoru and Rei?" She asked.

"Mamoru and rei..."He trailed off, fists clenched. "He cheated on you?" Motoki asked. Usagi nodded, keeping the tears away. She had to be strong. She slipped her engagement ring off her finger.

"Give this to him, will you" She asked. She left the arcade and finally went back to the high school, where students were just getting out. She leaned against the steps and lit a cigarette, placing between her ruby red lips. After awhile, Minako, Makoto and Ami appeared. Rei went to a different school. When they saw her, they stopped. The only reason they knew it was her was because of the locket hanging around her neck.

"Usagi, what..."Ami trailed off. Usagi shrugged and blew a puff of smoke in thier direction.

"I told you that you wouldn't like the results" She said, smirking. She turned and walked away, and as soon as she was out of eyesight and earsight, she began hacking and stomped on the ciggerette putting it out. She knew that she wouldn't be able to keep this act up forever, but she wanted them to understand. She was not going to be pushed around. As she walked through the park, she leaned against a tree and let the tears come again. She had to be strong, but it was so hard, when she had lost everything.

Seiya, Taiki and Yaten Kou were taking a walk and a breather from girls chasing them, when they noticed the lonely girl in the park. She was dressed like a tough girl, but her tears suggested otherwise.

"We should go talk to her" Seiya said.

"What if she's another screaming fan girl?" Yaten asked, concerned.

"She doesn't look like one" Seiya said. He led the way and they walked over to the girl. Seiya placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Usagi looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes met his startling blue eyes and she smiled slightly at the gorgeous man in front of her.

"Not really" She said, with a harsh laugh. She looked down at her outfit, which she actually did like and sighed.

"Anything we can do to help?" Yaten asked. Usagi shrugged.

"I don't think so" She said. "My boyfriend cheated on me with a bff, and the rest of my bffs turned thier back on me. This morning when I woke up, I was sweet Usagi, long blond hair, jeans and sweaters, now I'm dressed like this, hoping to get over this crap, but it's so hard" Seiya's heart went out to this girl, whom had suffered so much in one day. He wondered if she even realized who they were.

"Would you like to hang out with us for awhile?" Seiya asked. He figured she'd say no, since it was three strange guys, she'd never met, but he thought he'd ask anyone. Usagi stood up and smiled again.

"And why would three popstars, gorgeous ones at that," at this she winked, "want to hang with an ordinary girl like me?" Taiki shrugged.

"Perhaps because your not a gushing a fan girl" He said. Usagi laughed a genuine laugh and Seiya realized that she was gorgeous when she laughed. He wanted to see her laugh more often.

"It's a date then" She said. The guys grinned and Usagi followed them back to thier hotel room, as they snuck in the back way to avoid being seen by crazed fangirls.
