"I just want you home daddy" she cried "I love you daddy so much, when I heard about the crash I thought…I thought I lost you"
"I know peanut…I love you too" she could see her father whipping away his own tears "how is school? Are you doing alright? Are you with your aunt and cousin?"
"School is good, and Auntie and Mina are with me every day and so is everyone else" she said with a smile as she turned to look at her group of friends
"Hi Uncle Ken!!" Screamed Minako
Kenji let out a laugh, which was like music to Usagi's ears "hey there love bug" after saying his hellos to the rest of the group he looked to his watch "I'm sorry honey but It looks like my time is up"
Usagi shook her head "no…no please daddy" she said placing her hand on the monitor "I love you…please don't go" she begged as she cried
"I promise I will contact you soon sweet pea…Remember that I love you angel always" he said placing his hand on the monitor as well "good bye love bug take care of my little bunny"
"I will" Mina said whipping away her tears
"I love you too daddy! I love you so much….Goodbye" the computer cut off, Usagi just sat staring at the blank screen "…be safe" she whispered as her hand slipped from the monitor and into her lap
Military Life
Chapter 4
Everyone watched as Usagi kissed Seiya on the cheek, they would look from the pair on the bench to Mamoru-who appeared to be doing everything in his power to keep himself from injuring the new comer.
"That was the best gift anyone could ever give me" Usagi whispered as she held Seiya's hand
The touching moment was broken as a loud cry was heard
Seiya looked over at the baby carrier in Mamoru's arms, he watched as Mamoru gently placed the carrier down and placed the magical key into 'Chibiusa's' back
"Oh my god" seiya pointed at the 'realistic baby' "who's annoying doll is that?!" he asked horrified
Usagi sighed "that would be mine"
Seiya stared at her before busting into uncontrollable laughter "No way"
"Yea yea rub it in" Usagi said waving her hand in the air
"Do you remember last year when we had to take care of those retarded things?" he asked though his laughter
Usagi nodded
"Wait, she had to do this last year?" Minako asked
"Whoa, you two went to the same school?" Rei asked surprised
"We actually went to 4 of the same schools "
"and that horrible little plastic doll was the worse project we had to do" he said glaring at the 'realistic baby' "I remember you trying to give your soul to the teacher and when that didn't work you pulled out your check book and tried to buy her off"
"She tried that again, our class was so annoyed with her that they almost strangled her" Minako said laughing
"Bun's it didn't work the first time honey, why would it work the second time?" he playfully hit her not seeing the annoyed and jealous look Mamoru was giving them, but the girls did.
"Oh!" Usagi said quickly "how's your dad?"
"He's okay, luckily they found him with your dad and apparently they both went looking for one another after the crash"
Usagi shook her head as the bell rang "leave it to those too" with a sigh the blond stood "I really wish I didn't have to go…When will I see you again?"
"Soon, no worries Bun's you can't get rid of me that easily"
Seiya hugged his friend once more before heading off, as Usagi walked with her friends to their classes.
Usagi POV
School was unbelievably long and so so very exhausting, but I was still viven' off Seiya's surprise visit and most of all talking to my father. Mamoru acted a little funny today, wasn't sure what crawled up his butt but he was kinda moody…oh well I'll ask him about it later.
There was one thing that happened that made my day a 100 times better…that damn baby is gone! That's right the teacher made us give them back, some kinda recall, I screamed for joy as the class groaned in misery.
Have you ever had a feeling where you knew someone or something was waiting for you? But you didn't know what or who? I did. All the way home I couldn't shake it. It was driving me insane, so as we drove up to my house I got the surprise of my life.
I see a familiar car sitting in the drive way
"Usako…is that a 2009 Lamborghini Reventon?...sitting in your driveway…"
"Yes…"I said staring at the gray/silver and black sports car "Seiya?" I questioned confused, it couldn't be him…could it? Mamoru pulled into my drive way next to the beautiful car.
As I got out I looked to the driver sitting in the sports beauty, this day is just getting better
Knocking at the window I see his bright blue eyes look at me, we were both excited
"I can't believe you're here!" I screamed we hug each other for what seemed like hours,
We break apart as he was asked rather rudely "So why are you here?" I look to Mamoru with a questionable look,
"well if you don't mind, mom said it was cool that I not only stay with you, BUT she also said it would be great for us to finish senior year together" Seiya smiled as he and I jumped up and down for joy
Minako smiled brightly "Major sleep over's?!" She asked, well more like squealed
Seiya and I could only nodded as we continued to jump around
"Wait a minute, what do you mean 'staying here'?" we turn to the raven haired hunk and stare as he glares darkly
Seiya leaned over to me and whispered in my ear "I know you said cute and smart, but brains doesn't seem to be his for tay" I let out a giggle
Waving my other half away I smile at my child hood companion "As in he will be living with me until his and my father return" I was so happy, but my happiness was short lived as Mamoru pulled me, rather roughly might I add, into the house
"Ouch" I hissed as I pulled my arm away "you know that's attached!" I rub my arm as I glare at the baka "That hurt Mamo-baka!"
"What was all that about?!"
I don't understand why he's so mad
"What was all what about?"
Honestly I don't get it
"Don't play dumb with me Usako, why the hell is this guy living with you?! He can't live with you!"
I only laugh "look Mamoru, I don't get where this super over protectiveness is coming from, but Seiya has been the closest friend beside you that I have had moving around. He gets what's going on with me, we understand where each other come from…his dad and my dad are fighting a war together, they are station and in command of 14000 marines, I need him right now."
He's hurt I can see it in those navy eyes, those beautiful navy freaking eyes that drive me loony every time I look in them…
"you needhim?" He whispered
"Come on Mamoru, please don't say it like that, Seiya's a really nice guy"
That obviously made it worse
"I'm here for you Usako, why is it you need him? What am I not good enough? Do I not listen to you? Or pay enough attention to you? If you need a roommate I can be that and more"
"I didn't say you weren't there for me or that I didn't need you, it's just Seiya is going thought he same thing I am and I just feel that in this situation he has a better understanding on what's going on…and besides Seiya would never hurt or try anything with me I promise…I trust him as much as I trust you"
There was silence between us "I see"
Why is he leaving?!
"Mamoru wait!" I yelled as I ran after him "please" but it was too late he was gone.
Seiya insisted that he stay at Mina's in their guest room so that he didn't cause any problems, but I wasn't going to have it. Seiya was like a sister to me, that's right I said sister get over it, I wasn't going to let Mamoru's crazy protectiveness ruin my night.
NORMAL POV
Usagi, Minako and Seiya sat laughing on Usagi's bedroom floor
All three faces coved in a green mask with their hairs pulled back into high buns.
Usagi wore her pink tank top with her pink and white bunny PJ pants
Mina wore her yellow tank with her yellow and orange heart PJ pants
And Seiya wore his Red wife beater with his red and black Sailor Moon PJ pants
"Oh my god" Usagi and Minako fell to the ground laughing as they pointed to his pants "what the hell are you wearing?!"
"What?" he said looking down at his slacks, with his hands on his hips "I'll have you know that Sailor Moon is one of the best shows ever"
"That show is so 90's old school!" Minako laughed "But I have to disagree with you Sailor V is so much better"
Seiya shook his head "not a chance honey, Sailor moon would kick Sailor V's ass in a instant"
The two started to engage in a serious augment over who was stronger
"Well personally" Usagi spoke up causing the two to turn to her curiously "I believe Goku would totally kick both their butts"
Usagi laughed as Minako and Seiya stared at her in disbelieve "Come on and think about it, one good KAMEHAMEHA and those two blond bitches would be out"
Seiya and Minako both looked to each other before attacking Usagi with the popcorn
"KAMEHAMEHA this!" Seiya yelled as a snack war started.

"You know just sitting here staring into her room, isn't going to solve anything" Rei commented as she took a seat next to her depressed sibling. "You understand that this is hard for her right?"
"I get that it's hard for her Rei, but…" Mamoru looked back out his window and into hers, there she was laughing and dancing with him
"When are you going to tell her how you feel?" Rei asked causing her twin to look at her with confusion
"What?"
"Oh please Mamoru, don't be so dense, we ALL know that you're in love with Usagi" Rei smiled evilly "Just tell her"
Rei stood up as she walked over to the window "what are you doing?!" Mamoru jumped from his seat as Rei opened up his window and knocked on Usagi's
"I'm heading over to the sleep over, the others should be there soon" She said with a shrug as Usagi ran over, still wearing the green mask, but this time there was some pop corn pieces stuck in it.
"HEY!" Usagi screamed as she helped her raven haired friend over, once Rei was inside Usagi turned to Mamoru who just stood and stared
"Coming?" she asked staring into his eyes, hoping he would say yes
Mamoru couldn't stay mad, Rei was right he was like the song 'truly madly deeply' in love with Usagi Tsukino. "If you promise not to put that crap on my face?" the two laughed
"What? it's good for the pours" Usagi said smiling
"OH MY GOD! ARE THOSE SAILOR MOON PJS???!!!" The two laughed when they heard Rei's outburst as Mamoru climbed into her room
"Thank you" Usagi whispered smiling up at him "it wouldn't be the same without you" she stepped on her tip toes and kissed him sweetly on the cheek.
Mamoru blushed as the two walked over to the laughing group.
-Hour later-
"Personally, Jupiter is the best" Makoto smiled
"All I remember is how much of a bitch that sailor mars was" Rei said as the group sat in a circle "What do you think Usa?"
"Forget her, she thinks Goku could kick all their asses" Seiya said waving his hand in dismissal
"I actually agree" Mamoru added "Goku is bad ass"
"You all are crazy" Motoki said as Minako laid her head on his lap "old school anime? Give me Superman or X-men any day, now those were some true hero's" everyone just stared as Motoki mindlessly ran his fingers down Minako's now loss hair with one hand and caressed her cheek with his other
"Um…" Usagi broke the silence "is there something we should know about?" she asked pointing at the two of them
They both just looked at her confused "no" they both answered at the same time
"Okay" she turned back to Seiya-who stared to brush her hair
"Bun your hair has gotten so long" he said as he began to braid it
Usagi only shrugged as she nibbled on a piece of chocolate, "Ooo-ooo I have to go "lady" shopping tomorrow you all want to come? My treat"
"REALLY?" Minako said sitting up and pushing Motoki away
"Free Shopping?" Makoto smiled
"What about school?" Ami asked
"EXPESIVE???" Rei jumped over grabbing her friend by the arm and pushing her brother away
::Sitting arrangements in Circle::
Mamoru (glaring at Seiya)-Usagi (facing Mamoru as Seiya braids her hair) - Seiya (happily braiding Usagi's hair)-Lita (eyeing her bother and Minako strangely)-Minako (laying her head on Motoki's lap)-Motoki (playing and caressing Minako hair and cheek)-Rei (eyeing her brother to calm down)-Ami (hugging her math book)
Back to the story
"Yes and it's the weekend Ames and before you ask no studying, fun time, and yes Rei Expensive" she looked over at the three guys "your invited too"
"Lady shopping?" Mamoru said shaking his head "noooo way"
"Why not? We need someone to model for!" Minako said lying back on Motoki's lap "Besides Motoki will be there, won't you Motoki?"
Motoki shook his head "yes"
"So, seiya will you go?" Rei asked eyeing her brother knowing that if Seiya was to go Mamoru would come just to 'protect' his precious Usako
"Of course I'm going, Bun wouldn't be able to pick the proper size let alone buy anything sexy, if I was to let her our into the wilds of intimate apparel she would end up picking something my grandmother wouldn't even wear"
Rei laughed as she saw her brothers eye begin to twitch "how…how do you know her size?" he tried to calm his voice but, it came out as a panic growl
"Mamoru's right, how do you know?" Motoki asked taking the role of an over protective brother
"Calm down you two, it's not like that" Usagi said laughing as the other girls joined
"Gezz freak much?" Minako teased as she playfully slapped Motoki's chest
"So, tomorrow then?" Usagi asked as everyone but Motoki and Mamoru cheered
It was then that Seiya's phone began to ring "probably mom checking in" he said as he flipped open his phone.
"Hello?"
'Private?"
"DAD?!" Seiya smiled as Usagi leaned in to listen to the conversation "How are you? Are you alright? How's everything over there?"
"Everything's fine, now I heard you're staying with Bunny, is that correct?"
"Yes sir it is, actually she rig-"
"That's fantastic, now why don't you two go out for a date, movies and all? I informed your mother to place extra money into your account, treat her right private"
"But dad I-"
"Have you joined the foot ball team yet?"
Seiya rolled his eyes as Usagi squeezed his hand "Actually I was planning on joining the-"
"Don't tell me you're planning on joining that silly drama club again?! How do you expect to be a strong solider if you're always running out with those sissy's?"
"Their not-"
"I won't have it, now come Monday you will head to the football couch and join the team and that's final" his father coughed "I'm not raising a sissy! You can't go to west point jumping around on stage!"
"Go to West point? But I didn't apply to-"
"Now listen private, I spoke to some of my connections and I am happy to inform you that West point has accepted you!" Seiya sat silent on the phone
"th-they what?"
"You're going to West point! Now I have to go, don't forget take that sweet young lady out for a nice dinner, good bye"
"go-good bye" Seiya hung his phone up "I need some air" he quickly stood up and left the room
"I'll be right back" Usagi ran after him
"Do you think every thing alright?" Minako asked concerned
Rei shrugged her shoulders "mamoru why don't you go check ne?"
------------
Walking into the back yard Usagi took a seat next to Seiya as he sat in the middle of the yard staring up at the full moon, tears falling from his eyes
"Grass is wet" she said pushing him a little "penny for your thoughts?"
Seiya pulls out a folded piece of paper from his PJ pocket and hands it to Usagi "what's this? Your acceptance to the loony bin?" she opened it and gasped "Seiya…oh my god…Julliard?!"
He nodded "I got in..."
"How long ago?!"
"This summer….it doesn't matter though"
"West Point?" Usagi whispered as she folded the paper back up
Seiya let out a laugh "you heard him…his connections got me in…"
"It's still really important to him?"
Seiya nodded "No one knows us Bun's…no one will ever really know who we are…we have always been their children, never having identities of our own…They can never accept who we really are…"
"I know what you mean, I feel so lost some times…my whole life it's been 'Oh hello 1st SSgt-Sgt-Sgt Major Tsukino daughter'…never 'Oh hello Bun's or Usagi' every were we go its always about them, what we do, how we act, what we wear…"
"Who we're with…" Seiya sighed "people ask 'where you from?' all we can say is 'Marine Corps' our dreams are decided for us, our futures…when does it all end?"
Usagi shrugged looking up at the moon "it isn't fair…that I do know…Theatre is your dream and your fantastic at it…remember our school plays? You dragged me into the drama club EVER school that attended together" Usagi laughed as did Seiya
"Oh god, I remember, you whined so much the first time…hey didn't you get sick in the girls bathroom right before the first show?"
"Yea" Usagi laughed again
"What about the modeling thing?"
"It's not good for his image and besides I'm a minor so there for I would need a parent or guardian to accompany me on trips…we all know that with the military I can't count on dad to be there…even when I turn 18 I can't leave him" she shook her head "I can't leave him alone…if mom was here it would be a whole different story…but she's not…"
Nodding he sighed "You're amazing at it…you do know you're the most beautiful model out there"
"Was" Usagi corrected "couldn't mess up the military image"
"Not as bad as being gay" Seiya said with a laugh
"What ever happened to Yeten anyway?"
"He just didn't understand that I couldn't just come out like he did" Seiya said with a shrug, but Usagi noticed the hurt in his eyes "he likes you, you know"
"Yeten?!" Usagi Screeched
Seiya laughed "no dumb ass, Mamoru"
"What?" Usagi asked shocked "no he doesn't"
"yes he does, I see it whenever he's around…in fact I would even go as far to say that he was in love with you" he said pushing her with his shoulder "and that you love him too" Usagi started to blush "and not in a brotherly type of way, in a 'I want to have your baby' type a way" he said with a laugh
The two laughed as Mamoru stood silently hiding in the shadows
"Just admit it Bun's, you love him"
"Alright alright" Usagi said amused "yes"
"yessss?"
"I'm in love with Mamoru…" she said laughing as she smiled brightly "he doesn't ever question who I am or what I do, he just accepts me for me…he-he"
"He completes you" Seiya joked as he shaped a heart out of his two hands
"Shut up" Usagi said slapping him playfully on the arm "we should get inside before everyone starts to wonder where we are, plus I think my ass is frozen" the two laughed as they stood "you doin' alright?"
Seiya shrugged "I always feel better when we talk, thanks Bun's" the two embraced each other as they turned to walk back inside the house.
After they were inside Mamoru stood silent staring at the closed door "She loves me" he whispered as a smile crept on his face "She actually loves ME!"
