Chapter Eight : An old face

Minako sat on the grass looking at the green haired woman who sat on the bench in front of her. The blonde had decided not to ask why Setsuna held such a worried look on her face. It seemed everything was fine , Rei and Usagi were finally hooking up as well as Ami and Makoto , why be worried ?

The time guardian who had been staring at the sky ever since Minako had arrived here finally turned her head to look at the blonde who gazed back at her.'' Minako if something is bothering you don't be afraid to ask.'' She said with a soft tone in her voice.

Minako stopped looking at the woman in front of her and blushed slightly. She had totally forgotten about the fact Setsuna had a good sence when it came to this things but she wasn't so sure if she could ever ask Setsuna.'' It's nothing really.'' She whispered hoarsely. She knew the tone in her voice had already betrayed her. The small blonde didn't know why she felt this way in the first place. Just a minute ago she had felt so happy but now she felt nothing but loneliness. Everyone was coming together except for her and still the question burned in the back of her mind. What was going to happen to Chibi-usa ?

Setsuna just nodded at the strange answer of the blonde. But before she could ask or say anything more Minako gazed up again opening her mouth to say something. At first nothing came out but as soon as she realised there was no way in denying some things she went on.'' Setsuna have you ever felt...alone ?''

A little but suprised by the question the green haired woman just nodded and waited for the other to continue.'' I mean , you are destined to guard the time gate , when do you have any time for love ? And then there's me , the goddess of love but it seems i'm the only one who can't find love. I feel so lonely sometimes.''

Again the time guardian nodded. She couldn't find any words to say. She knew exactly how Minako was feeling because it was the exact same way she felt.'' I know what you mean but you've got to believe there's someone out there for you , i'm sure of it.''

Minako now looked at her hands.'' As guardian of time , do you know everybody's soulmate ?'' She could hear Setsuna giggle causing her to look up at the green haired woman who seemed to be very amused by the question.

'' I know..'' Was all she said. Somehow she couldn't help it but laugh at the question. Especially since it came from the goddess of love herself.'' But i'm afraid I can't tell you. It would affect the future and since the future is already shaken up enough I really don't think it's a good idea.''

'' But..'' Minako paused for a moment.'' If you know who your soulmate is , then why aren't you going to find that loved one , why aren't you trying to gain that person's attention?''

Setsuna also stopped looking at the other girl as she gazed back at the sky with a soft smile on her face.'' Because that person isn't ready yet , neither am I..'' Was all the older woman said.

'' How about the future , what's going to happen to Chibi-Usa ?'' It was finally out. The question both of them had been avoiding ever since the truth had been revealed. She knew she shouldn't ask for it but she couldn't help it but to be curious.

'' Don't worry about that.'' The green haired whispered with a calm and steady tone in her voice.'' As always fate isn't that cruel. I've seen the future and it's a happy one but before we get to the happy part there has to be a lot of suffering first.''

'' Just like a movie.'' Minako muttered but was relieved to hear the future was going to be one without only pain and suffering. Again she could hear Setsuna giggle but this time she spotted something else in the tone of the green haired woman's voice. She just couldn't place it. A hint of pain ? A hint of joy ? She wasn't sure but whatever it was she was determined to find out.

Mamoru sat at the bar talking to Motoki when Usagi suddenly walked in. The blonde man who ofcourse had no idea about the fight or Mamoru had cheated on Usagi just greeted her warmly like he had done everyday.

'' Hi Motoki.'' She said with a cheerful voice that didn't fade when she saw Mamoru who she just greeted as warm as ussual only this time she didn't cover him with kisses. She just kept her distance and sat down behind the bar too , a couple of seats away from the black haired man. This was ofcourse noticed by Motoki.

He just gave Mamoru a questioning look which was returned by a look that told the other man not to ask. But it seemed the pressure was getting too much for Mamoru after a few minutes as he suddenly stood up and walked over to Usagi who ignored him. But when he stopped behind her she turned her face to his with a cold and emotionless look on her face that would've even scared Galaxia.'' Can I help you ?'' She asked politely. He just nodded his head.

'' Oh actually you can , you see I saw you last night..kissing another woman and my question now was , how does it feel to be a freaking dyke ?'' The words shot Usagi right through the heart. What could she say ? Mamoru's question sounded so loud to hear she could've sworn the whole arcade could've heard it though it was nothing more than a whisper.

'' Just leave me alone Mamo-baka , you can call me whatever you like it won't bring me back to you if that's what you're aiming at.'' She whispered calmly although his words still burned in her heart. So this was the man who had begged for her love so hard just a few days ago ? What had happened to the man she had fallen in love with ?

'' Oh..'' Mamoru said pretending to be hurt.'' So you mean there's no chance in getting you back ? Well that doesn't matter my dearest Usako.'' Usagi shivered at that nickname and just listened to him as he continued.'' Well since you came out of the closet it's time I did that too.'' He added causing Motoki to look up at the both of them. He was standing a few meters away from the what he thought couple. They sure were acting strange lately. He could've sworn he had heard Mamoru say something that sounded like coming out of the closet. He had never known Mamoru liked men.

Also Usagi had understand this completely wrong. So Mamoru was gay and he was scolding her for liking girls ? '' So what's his name ?'' She asked happily.

He shook his head in shock almost choking in his words.'' I didn't mean that ! I was talking about all the girls I slept with while you were waiting home for me , waiting until I came to you and listen to your whining , all the girls who were better than you could ever be.''

Usagi tried hard to hold back the tears that were treathening to fall. She tried hard to ignore the pain she felt. '' I don't care Mamoru...Just leave.'' With that said she jumped off her seat and brushed past him and ran towards the door. Before she had reached it she turned her head one last time to look at Mamoru who could now clearly see her tears.

Then she turned back and walked out of the arcade. Motoki now walked over to his friend and gave him a dissaproving look.'' Why didn't you tell me you liked guys , I mean it's one thing to confess those things to the person you are dating , who is also female but ...''

'' I'M NOT GAY !'' Mamoru yelled gaining attention from everybody who stared at him with shocked looks on their faces. A little boy who had been eating his ice cream dropped it and pointed at Mamoru with a huge grin on his face.

'' You are gay ! You are gay ! You are gay !'' He yelled. Mamoru turned slightly red fighting the urge to kick the little boy out of the arcade and off the world. Maybe to get lost somewhere in space.

'' Get lost little creep.'' The black haired man hissed.'' You don't even know what gay means and I'm not gay ! Now get lost before I kill you !'' But just when the boy was about to start crying a fat woman walked over to Mamoru with an angry look on her face.

'' Oh now you are in deep.'' He heard the small boy whisper as he completely focussed on the fat woman in front of him.

'' Listen and listen good you punk ! No one treaths my grand son like that , you want a piece of me ?'' She yelled making it clear to Mamoru she was ready to fight him. He just swallowed at the sight.'' You want a piece of this !'' The woman yelled. Motoki as well as the other people tried hard not to laugh. Not only was this woman making a total fool out of herself by asking if mamoru wanted a piece of her but also the look on the black haired man's face was hilarious.

'' No thanks.'' Mamoru said while blushing.'' Even if you would feed me with some of that mudd that you call your body i'm sure it wouldn't make any difference , now if you would excuse me I gotta go.'' He said while brushing past the woman who followed him with her eyes.

'' Yeah run away !'' She yelled.'' Go to your boyfriend ! Stupid punk !'' Mamoru just rolled his eyes not even bothering to turn around and scold this woman some more. He had to find Usagi , as he already promised , she was going to pay for leaving him for another woman.

Usagi who was now walking through a small shop she had liked ever since she was little took a deep breath. It had been very confusing ever since she and Mamoru had broken up. Rei had fallen in love with her and the same way around , their true pasts were revealed and now she and the raven haired girl were dating. Not that she minded or anything but Mamoru..he was still haunting her and even though she knew it was wrong she still felt love for him. Why ? Not even she knew and she was sure not even the gods up there knew the answer to that.

'' Usagi !'' Suddenly someone yelled causing her to turn around and look at a brunette she hadn't seen in a long while.

Ah who is this brunette ? Review and find out !
