"I think I should stay just in case"

"Really Mimi I'm okay, Just go!" Usagi insisted as she pushed her cousin out of the bedroom

Minako nodded as she walked to the front door "if there's any-"

"Anything I need I can always walk right over, good lord woman you act as though we live miles away!"

"alright alright" Minako laughed "see you in the morning" she turned to walk away before turning back around and running to Usagi and embracing her "thank you for my dress" she whispered then ran off.

Once she was in her home Usagi walked back into her empty house "I wish you were here momma…" she whispered as she hugged herself and cried.

Chapter 14

-Mamoru and his father's conversation-

Storming into his house Mamoru glared at his smiling sister as he passed her

"What?" she asked innocently

"That wasn't funny Rei! The whole neighborhood heard you!" he yelled

"Sorry!" she said shutting the door "but it's not like I could tell daddy no!"

"You were serious?" Mamoru calmed down as he looked to his sister with wide eyes

Rei nodded "he doesn't understand why you spend all your time with Usagi when you have such a sweet boy like Ken…" she bit back a giggle as Mamoru glared at her "don't look at me that way! I'm not joking; He really does want to talk to you"

"Where is he?"

"His office…and um…Lee's with him"

Mamoru groaned as he made his way to his father's study, dreading the conversation that was to come. It was one thing to deal with his father but his father's long time lover that was hell in its self. Ever since his parents proclaimed themselves as homosexuals things in the Chiba house hold became nothing less than interesting. Not only did they come out of the 'closet' they also informed their children that they had been secretly having relations with two other people. Akio with a woman name Miko and Don with a man name Lee.

Knocking Mamoru heard his father say, "Enter"

"You wanted to see me father?"

"Oh Mamoru, yes please have a seat" he smiled as he made his way to sit next to his son "now… I know your mother and I both agreed not to butt into your or your sisters lives…. but I feel we must"

"We?"

"Lee and I" at that time Lee, Don's lover, walked in taking a seat on the other side of Mamoru.

"Honey" he began as he placed a hand on Mamoru's hand, not noticing the flinch he- Mamoru- made "your father and I are concerned"

"Concerned?"

"Yes, you see we both have been noticing you spending quite a lot of time with that cute little blond from next door…"

"Usagi" Don said with a smile

"And from the looks of it, it seems that your still feeling scared to be completely…out"

"But this isn't what you two thin-"

Don cut Mamoru off placing his hands up "don't get us wrong we love Usagi, but…"

"It's okay to be gay Mamoru, it's okay to be who you truly are sweet heart" Lee picked up a box from the side of the couch

"What is that?" Mamoru asked nervously

"Well we were a bit worried so we went through your room…"

"You went through my room?!" Mamoru yelled

"Son, we needed too," Don said "and what we found conformed our suspicions"

Lee pulled out a stack of playboys from the box as Mamoru stared in horror "you don't need to make yourself into someone you aren't honey"

"Lee's right Mamoru, you don't need this to be a man, just because you love Ken doesn't mean you have to be ashamed of that love son, it's beautiful embrace it" it was then that Mamoru felt his heart stop Lee took the pile of play boys and threw them into the fireplace.

"….." Mamoru's face was pale oh man Motoki's gonna kill me

"Don't worry son we replaced them with some playgirls" Don whispered into Mamoru's ear as he patted him on the shoulder

"To help you out farther, we asked your boyfriend to come over so that we can straighten this whole mess out"

"You what?" Mamoru asked braking out of his shock, it was then that Ken walked through the door with Seiya and Michiru in toe

"Hello" Lee said with a smile

"Hello" Michiru said trying not to laugh

"So sorry to call you over so late, interrupting your night" Don Apologies "but we just felt this was to important"

"Oh no, you're right sir this is far too important to wait…I mean true love comes only once in a person's life" Michiru said still trying to stiffen her laughter as did Seiya

Taking a seat in front of Mamoru, Ken stared in silence

"Now Mamoru tell him" Don instructed

"Tell him what?" Mamoru asked confused

"How you feel," Don whispered

"WHAT?" Mamoru yelled jumping up

"This will be harder than I thought" Lee whispered rubbing his temples

"This really isn't necessary sir" Ken spoke up

"Oh but it is Ken" Michiru said smiling as Ken glared at his sister

"If he won't tell this wonderful young man his inner feelings then I think we need to call that Usagi over here" Lee announced

"I think that's a fantastic idea" Seiya smiled "it would really make her day," he said with a chuckle

Mamoru glared at Seiya "that won't be necessary…Ken" he began staring at Ken with a hard glare "I love you" he mumbled looking down at his feet

"What was that?" Michiru and Seiya asked causing Ken to glare at the two "I'm sorry but we didn't hear that"

"I said that I love you" Mamoru announced as he kept his eyes clinched shut

Don and the other, but Ken, clapped happily "that wasn't so hard now was it?" Don said smiling proudly at his very aggravated son

"We really should go" ken mumbled standing up

"Mamoru why don't you show ken to the door honey?" Lee suggested

"No its rea-"but Ken was cut off as Mamoru dragged him out the room whispering

"Don't waste your breath"

As Mamoru opened the front door for Ken, Michiru and Seiya, Mamoru's mother Akio and her lover Miko appeared "oh are we just in time for the goodnight kiss?" Miko gushed

Mamoru let out an aggravated growl as Ken turned to Seiya, who couldn't help but chuckle

Why is this happening to me? Mamoru asked himself as he grabbed ken, pushing his lips against his, as Ken stood wide eyed

"Awe" Akio sighed "just wonderful, but remember son always use a rubber" she whispered, unaware everyone heard what she said as she slipped a condom into his pant pocket "its blueberry" she added causing Michiru to fall to the ground laughing uncontrollably

"Please go home" Mamoru breathed as his mother walked away with Miko

Ken said nothing; he only turned around and walked away silently still shocked at what just happened, as Seiya and Michiru leaned on each other for support as they continued to laugh

Slamming the door Mamoru stormed up stair only to be annoyed by the joyful laughter coming from his sister's room

"That's him now" he heard her say, as mamoru walked in he saw a very beautiful looking girl sitting next to Rei "this is Luna, Luna this is my brother Mamoru"

Luna had long lavender hair with light lilac eyes, which resembled cat eyes, she wore a yellow tank top with a short jean skirt "Hey"

"Hey" Mamoru said still annoyed with the events from the night

"Luna attends the catholic school across the street from our school" Rei informed

"How did you two meet?" he asked curiously

"This is my blind date mother told me about, when I walked in the house, she was here sitting on the couch with mama Miko"

Mamoru was quite

"She's pretty cool" Rei said smiling "we've been having a blast together"

Mamoru found it strange the feelings that were bubbling up inside of him, normally he would be protective of his sister around other men, but now he was starting to feel that same protectiveness but for this…girl.

Mamoru growled as he watched Luna place her arm around Rei's shoulder "so Mamoru, how'd the convo go?" the cat like teen asked

"convo?" he asked raising an eye brow, but still eyeing the arm draped over his sisters shoulder

"You know the conversation, the one about your 'boyfriend'" Rei clarified

But there was no response Mamoru simply walked into his room and slammed his door as he heard Rei and Luna bust out in hysteria.

CHAPTER 16

"Wow" Makoto whispered, "I completely forgot it was her mother's birthday…"

"We all did" Rei added sadly

"It wasn't just Aunties birthday that set her off…" Minako said shaking her head

"I never knew she felt so alone," Ami whispered as she whipped away a tear "no wonder she's so upset"

"But she can't just push us away!" Rei said standing up "we have to show her that no matter what we are still here for her!"

"Here for who?" the group turned around to see Jed and the boys "who are we here for?" Jed asked

"When did you guys become part of our group?!" Rei hissed

"When Galleta invited us!" Jed snapped

"Galleta?" Mamoru whispered to Ami

"Its Spanish for Cookie" Nephrite answered "he's been on a language kick" the three turned their attention back to the bickering 'couple'

"We don't need some psychotic chiwawa sniffing everything and everyone!"

"Shut your whole goat cheese! Here!" he yelled throwing his two pieces of bead at her "go place yourself between some bread!"

Rei fumed as the mayo from the bead sat on her new Miguelina Top and Stella indigo skinny jean "Son of a bitch!" she screeched "Usagi just bought this for me!"

"It's only clothes" Jed shrugged "wash it, here" he said spitting on a napkin and whipping the mayo off…only it made the mess worse

"STOP TOUCHING ME HOUND!" she yelled, "This TOP is not just CLOTHES! This is the same TOP that Elizabeth wore on GENERAL HOSPITAL!"

"Hey did Jason and Sam get back together yet?" Nephrite asked

"No, they're out looking for Sunnis' kids" Mamoru answered

"What? Which ones?"

"Michael and Kristina, you know the whole hit and run thing? Claudia losing the baby"

"Oh yea! But they didn't do it"

"I think it's the major's shady wife"

"No way!" Kunzite said jumping into the conversation "it has to be Kristina, did you see her? She was all boohooing over some boy"

"I agree with kunzite, I mean if you listen to the facts Kristina is the prime suspect," Zoi added

"I wonder what carly smells like," Jed thought out loud as the girls took a step back

"Their worse than…us" Rei whispered forgetting about her shirt

"GUY!" Minako yelled, "This isn't helping!" the boys turned their attention to the blond

"You look very nice today Minako" Kunzite announced causing Minako to blush

"t-thank you" shaking her head she continued "Talking about soaps and fighting over messed up shirts…which was totally uncalled for…" taking a deep breath she continued "Usagi is in pain guys, she's confused and lonely we need to show her that we're here for her no matter what her attitude is like"

"She's trying to push us away…" Seiya said walking up to the group "she's scared…I'll talk to her during our practice today…and Mamoru…" Mamoru looked "that was some goodnight kiss" he said with a wink

"WHAT?!" the guys screamed "what kiss?!" They asked in unison as Rei busted out in to a fit of laughter
