"Ooof!" Usagi groaned and rolled over on top of the cat that had just jumped no her stomach. She was so tired! She didn't get home until nearly ten then her parents had to yell at her for two hours.
"Ow!" Usagi yelped when Luna bit her. "What was that for!"
"You were smothering me Usagi!" Luna said leaping off the bed. "You running late again."
"I don't care." Usagi yawned and laid back down.
"Your parents already think you ran off and got married last night and that you must be pregnant. Do you really want them to be mad at you for skipping class?" Luna said and then started walking out of the room as if to say 'my point is made'. Usagi sighed. Who had told the press anyway? The woman who delivered the food might have, but they wouldn't have known about Usagi being at the hospital. But somehow on the news was a breaking story about how Seiya and Usagi were married and had gone to the hospital for an ultrasound. Needless to say her parents were furious. She spent two hours trying to not tell them the true reason for her being in the hospital, but also trying to deny the story.
Usagi got out for bed and did her normal routine of running about find parts of her uniform and throwing them on. When she slipped on her skirt the button that had tried to fall off all year finally came off. Usagi found her other skirt and carried it with her down stairs.
"Mom the button came off my skirt, can you fix it?" But all her mom did was strat crying a run from the room.
Shingo laughed. "Uh oh Usagi is already getting a belly!" Usagi stuck out her tongue and ran out the door to try to get to school but right outside her house was a mob of press people and angry fans and beyond them was a limo with Seiya, Taiki, Yaten, and some man. Seiya waved for Usagi to come to the limo, so she made a run for it and made it.
"What is going on?" She puffed as she jumped into the limo.
"They think you're my wife, and pregnant." Seiya replied sliding over so she could sit with him.
"I know that. My parents spent two hours last night yelling at me!"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Kou I tried to keep your marriage with Seiya from turning into a circus. But someone told the press. I know that you and Seiya wanted to wait till after your last year of school was over, but the cats out of the bag." The other man said. He was very polite.
"I'm sorry who are you?" Usagi asked. Mentally she added and why are you calling me Mrs. Kou?
"I apologize! I am your husband's manager, Jou Guy."
"Oh nice to meet you." Usagi offered her hand to him and he kissed the back of it.
They rode in the limo to school and the manager left to do so damage control and also to keep the press from trying to enter the school. At school everyone seemed to be watching Seiya and Usagi. People whispered when they went by. Usagi brightened when she saw some friends she hadn't seen in a while, Naru and Umino.
"Hey Naru! Umino!" Usagi cried and ran over to them. "Welcome back! How was Italy?" They had gone on a three year long exchange program to Italy together.
"It was great Usagi. But I'll tell about that later. What is it I heard about some idol's here and you being pregnant? Is it Mamoru's?" Naru gushed. She looked great. She had let her hair grow out and it was in a simple french braid down her back. She had gotten taller and curvier.
"I'm not pregnant. Mamoru and I aren't a couple anymore. And this is Seiya of the Three Lights which is the idols that you heard about."
Seiya shook Umino and Naru's hands. "Nice to meet you. So Italy? I've heard it's beautiful and our manager wants us to do a global tour. Anywhere you can recommend?" Seiya said smoothly changing the subject from Mamoru and winning them over.
The bell rang a few minutes later and they all rushed of to there classes. In class, Usagi told the scouts in her class that they had a meeting today after class at the temple. She also sent a text to the other scouts while hiding her phone under her desk. It had actually be Usagi's idea for all the scouts to get cell phones for communication, since there communicators were too obvious in a public area.
At lunch she met up with Seiya who was already speaking with Naru and Umino about Italy. Taiki and Yaten were also there but they were more of listening and nodding. Ami, Minako, and Makoto were there too.
"Oh Usagi! Seiya is great! He is going to see if he can hold the tour off till after graduation then have us all come along! I told him you and I haven't seen each other in years and he said he was…"
"Shhhh! It's a surprise!" Seiya interrupted.
"Right! Sorry." Naru said and smiled.
"What?" Usagi asked completely lost. Seiya just laughed. "Oh yeah. Meeting this afternoon?" Usagi asked Seiya.
"Yep. We'll be there. And Guy called me and said the press should leave you alone. He told them it was a huge misunderstanding. We are not married and are not expecting a baby."
"So you're pregnant with his baby? Usagi you can really pick great guys!" Naru gleamed while Umino frowned at her.
They ate there lunches with playful banter and more Italy talk. After ten minutes of listening to Umino and Naru talk about Italy, Usagi wanted to go there too. There was shopping, romantic scenery, beautiful art, and lots of yummy food. They laughed and talked and for that moment everything seemed right in the world.
"Hey Usagi. What happen between you and Mamo? You to were in love." Naru asked, and just like that reality slapped Usagi in the face. Everyone stopped laughing and just listened.
"Mamoru and I just didn't love each other." Usagi said and fought not to cry. Seiya slid over and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Usagi! I'm sorry! It must have been resent." Naru said and slid to her other side. She clasped her hands and noticed the ring Usagi was wearing. "Was this from him?"
Usagi took off the rind and stared at it. She had forgotten she was wearing it. Seiya took it from her and grabbed her right hand. He slide the ring onto her ring finger never breaking their eye contact. "Wear it to remember her." He said and she knew he was talking about Chibbiusa.
She jumped up and hugged him so hard he fell over. "Thank you Seiya. Thank you so much!"
The bell rang and they went back to their classes.
