Talons extended, wings expanded the fierce war face of an osprey captured in what could be referred to brute elegance glared at Mamoru from the back of Usagi's short lengthen kimono. So realistic was the image that Mamoru was convinced that if he strained his ears he'd be able to hear the bird's screech break through the silent air. His guarded ocean colored eyes ran up the length of her body, pausing when he witnessed a small movement, his muscles unconsciously tightening in response but stilled when he watched her kimono slip from her shoulders.
A strong, yet refined sakura tree was tattooed at the base of her neck, its braches winding around her neck while its leaves seemed to fall onto her shoulders. Casually Usagi spun an umbrella she held over her shoulder, a coy smile playing on her plump lips. "We could stop-"
"No," Mamoru's rough voice was firm, his knuckles turning white upon tightening his grip on the hilt of his shinai. Sticky scarlet colored his face, cascading onto his Do from his broken nose.
A smirk spread across Usagi's lips, "Have it your way silly kenshi."
Silence engulfed the room; tension wrapping its muscular legs around the duo in efforts to squeeze the sheer life-force out of the pair. No sooner had a light breeze licked at her exposed shoulders did Usagi throw herself into motion. Flipped backward the young girl rushed towards Mamoru's still form, a mere second before reaching him did she throw her umbrella into the air exposing the wakizashi she had pressed against her side.
Azure colored eyes flashed, balancing back on her heels Usagi coiled back before striking, so precise was her form that it would have made a black mamba felt properly abashed. The steel's lusty tip desired nothing more than to taste, penetrate flesh, was sourly disappointed when it met with the tramp know to the human tongue as air.
Usagi's eyes narrowed upon witnessing Mamoru's back bend coming mere millimeters away from her wakizashi's blade. "Obvious," Mamoru cockily spat out before he launched his fist at the still-in-motion blonde.
Clenching her teeth together Usagi released a huff of angry tasting breath. Tightening all her muscles she skillfully caught his fist in the palm of her hand and landing on the ground she easily balanced on the edge of one of her getas before sending a powerful kick to the older boy's chin.
Mamoru staggered, the severity of her blow caused his entire skull to ring forcing him to fall onto one knee. From behind the smirking blonde bombshell stood a chestnut haired girl dressed in a simple white kimono. "Retrieve your captain," Makoto ordered. "And consider your little club thoroughly conquered, Juuban now belongs to us."
Asanuma still feeling shell-shocked at witnessing first hand his captain's defeat hesitated before rushing forward to Mamoru's side, followed swiftly by Motoki.
"So the rumors were true," Motoki said, speaking mostly to himself. A voice carried by the wind had been speaking for weeks about a group of well-skilled girls making a play for all the territories in Tokyo.
"Mamo-kun? You ok?" Asanuma asked, taking a hold of his elbow.
"I think," Mamoru spoke through the blood, his lips twisting into a grin while he watched the blonde retrieving her umbrella. "I'm going to marry that girl," He stated quite audibly.
Usagi giggled, "If you can defeat me and take back this land, only then would I ever dream of consenting." She blew him a kiss before turning around and walking back towards Makoto.
"You have yourself a deal," Mamoru replied before fainting.

An: :blush: I'm not very good at writing action but this scene wouldn't leave me alone.. so I tried my best.
CharmedSerenity3 (interesting theory, though I think that's it for the DaC saga, I can't think of anyway for Mamoru to escape the fallout of Usagi's wrath.. but I will think on for a couple of days), Chichiforever (I will think on it), Beloved Dawn (Poor Usagi indeed lol), Beediddy (Thank you), Secluded Sapphire, Roxy630 (hugs back, arg I hate stomach bugs, it must have been so troublesome for you to have that during the holidays. I'm sorry, but I'm glad you're doing better now. Ah, now I understand the 'possessive jealously type' Hm, maybe but not as possessive as I write him.. but there was that time when Demando kidnapped her and when he rescued her, that could be stacked up to possessive. But, yea Usagi is def more jealous in the anime, but then again they exaggerated all of her faults in the anime. I love 'manga Usagi' but still adore 'anime Usagi'. I would consider doing a prank series but I already get so much hate mail because I haven't finished all my multi-chaptered stories that if I started another one I would make a lot of people more angry then they already are. Plus, after I finish Tokyo Bambi and a couple more stories I'm planning to start this epic Seyia/Mamoru/Usagi story that will bring most soap operas to their knees MUHAHAH, lol. Sorry got a little carried away. I loved Darth Helmet's scene, lol, I actually haven't seen that movie in the longest but yeah now that I think about it does remind me of it too. Damn, now I have to go watch it), Anon (Me too! I wish I could update TB as much as well, its cause these chapters are easier to write and don't take as much time.. BUT I'm spending all day today and tomorrow to work on TB), Roswellchick ("Freakin mam, all this to go bareback" I was on the floor laughing when I read that, thank you!) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!!
