"You know Seiya I'm about sick of your shit! I have waited 16 years! I had to bury our mother, knowing that all she ever wanted was to be with her daughter; still wishing she could have seen Usagi, to tell her she was sorry
That she loved her and never meant to cause her such pain" Kakeru ran and angry hand though his blond hair "but they wouldn't let her near Usagi. That woman did everything in her power to keep us away from my sister" he laughs "Don't you see, everything she has told you and your mother was a lie" he took a deep breath "I know my mother wasn't perfect, but who is? Our mother wasn't the monster that everyone thought she was" tears filled the blonds eyes "I love my sister and would never hurt her or cause her unnecessary harm, but she has a right to know about me, as I have a right to know her…All I want, all I've ever wanted is a chance to know her…so why don't you just leave me alone"
Seiya stayed quite as Kakeru walked to his car.
"What do I do?" he asked himself as his phone rang, it was his mother "he's here mom…Kakeru here and I don't know what to do" he said into the receiver
-Serenities Secret-
She was scared; she didn't know what to do.
She had hid her pregnancy well for the past 9 months.
Now the small bundle was in her arms covered in blood, what was she to do? Where was she to go? Her mother couldn't know about this,
No…it would be complete and utter hysteria…and what would her sister say? Miss perfect, miss always does the right thing…
She was only 14 years old…
she couldn't raise a child on her own, she couldn't even raise herself…she couldn't tell him…not him…he would want to keep it…she couldn't be a mother no…not yet…not ever.
Serenity looked around the empty house to ensure no one was there. The child cried, damn it why couldn't this thing be quiet!
Running to the phone she dialed the only number she could think of, the only person who would help her.
"I need your help" she said quickly "I had the b-baby" …."Thank you" hanging up she lay the crying infant into her large beach tote and quickly cleaned up the mess, leaving no signs of a birth.
Soon the door bell rang, opening the door she handed the tote with the small crying infant within it.
"You should be checked" a gentle voice advised the teen
"I will, just go before they come back!" she said hurriedly
"My husband is in the car, he can check you quickly to make sure everything is alright"
"Ann-san please I appreciate you getting…it out of here…but you really must go before my family comes home! If they were to find…if they were to catch…you just really have to go"
"Alright" Anna said looking into the tote and pulling out the small crying infant "shh little one, Serenity just stop by when you have a chance and Eiru can check you…please"
"Alright, alright just go" Serenity said staring at the small, now silent, baby boy
As Ann began to walk to her awaiting car, she yelled "wait" Ann turned around "What will you call him?....the baby?" she asked almost in a whisper
Ann looked at the small teen with sympathetic eyes "what would you like me to call him?"
Serenity looked socked at first "um…K-Kakeru…Kakeru Kenji…"
"Kakeru, very beautiful" Ann said with a smile as she turned to her car
Serenity just watched as tears fell from her blue eyes "good bye Kakeru…" she whispered
A few moments later her family pulled into the drive way.
The next day
"Serenity you're going to be late!" her mother yelled from down stairs
"She's not here mom" Millie said as she took a bit of her toast
"What?" her mother asked shocked "she's never up this early"
Millie shrugged "I saw her walking down the street this morning"
"Strange" her mother said looking at the extra plate of food
----
She knocked a few times before Ann opened the door cautiously
"Sorry it's so early" serenity whispered
"Oh" Ann said smiling at the nervous teen, opening her door wide "it's no problem honey, please come in"
"Is-is he up?" she asked fidgeting with her fingers "I mean…is he-"
"He's up; would you like to see him?"
Serenity quickly shook her head as she pushed a piece of her blond hair behind her ear
"Alright then, Eiru is in his office, its right down the hall way" Ann said pointing to a small room
"Thank you" she said walking to the office
After knocking Eiru walked the young blond to a large couch "this might be uncomfortable Serenity, I need to make sure you're alright…down here…" Ann at that moment walked into the room with a few warm towels and a sweet smile.
"I'm right there dear" she whispered into Serenities ears as she held the young teen's hand
After an hour Eiru stood up
"You're good to go" he said leaving to wash up,
Once he returned he wrote her a perception "this is for the pain, you're going to be in some for a couple of weeks while your body heals"
"Thank you Dr. Eiru…for everything" Serenity whispered as she slowly sat up
"If you need anything just let me know" he said with a small smile
"Let us get some tea" Ann suggested
Walking into the small sunroom Serenity heard the sounds of her small son
"He must be hungry" Ann said getting up
"Um…can I…"
"Would you like to help me?" she asked gently
Serenity nodded
The nursery was very contemporary, considering the older couple.
Ann being 65 and her husband 70
The walls of the room where baby blue with white molding, above the pristine white door, the walls turned from a baby blue to a white with blue and brown open circles of different sizes.
In the corner by the white closet doors sat a large and inviting brown arm chair with white pock dots next to it on the left sat a wicker basket stuffed with beautiful plush stuff animals.
On the right of the chair sat a white small end table with a silver and black lamp with a small picture of Ann and Eiru.
On the wall above the wicker basket was a large hanging book case--white. Stuffed with different types of child hood stories and more stuff animals
Serenities eyes wondered over to the crib by the large window
It was a cherry wood crib, with a light blue and brown circler crib sheet and bumper. There was nothing really around the crib since Kakeru was just a day old. On the other side of the room sat the changing table. Matching the crib
"It's beautiful" serenity whispered "you really thought of everything" she said looking to the floor
"Yes" Ann said simply as she took Serenities hand, pulling her over to the crib "he must of just cried back to sleep" she said gently
"he's so tinny" the young teen whispered looking down at the small sleeping infant "I didn't notice before…" a tear ran down her cheek as Ann looked at the girl with sad eyes
"serenity-"
"You know, I was so caught up in trying to get rid of him that I never noticed how beautiful he was…how much he looks like my dad…and me" she reached in and gently touched the small boy's cheek "you'll raise him right, right? Teaching him right from wrong? How to treat people? How to be caring and not selfish…how to become the man…a great man" Serenity asked looking up at the old woman, the teen knew Ann would but still needed to ask
"I promise" she whispered "you know that he would be proud of you"
Serenity only looked back to the slumbering infant
"your father would be very proud of you Serenity, I know he would be" Ann grabbed hold of Serenities hand and squeezed it before leaving the young blond alone with the sleeping baby
"I'm so sorry" she whispered "I'm so sorry Kakeru"
Military Life
Chapter 18
The night was beautiful, standing in the well decorated gym the group of girls, minus Makoto, laughed and smiled in anticipation.
"You look great Rika, stop fidgeting!" Usagi said slapping the red heads hands
"I'm just so nervous" She whined
"There's nothing to be nervous about, you look beautiful" Rei reassured
"Motoki will love it!" Minako said fixing a piece of her red hair. "Besides Lucille ball is suppose to be funny, not nervous, think I love Lucy"
"Where's Makoto?" Ami asked as she pulled up her low cut dress
"Stop that Ami!" Usagi hissed
"I wouldn't have to continually cover my exposed chest if you wouldn't have tossed my sweater out the damn car window!"
"I think Makoto said something about parents and coke…now sure if she meant the drink or the drug" Seiya said walking over to the group closing his cell phone "but with the load music it's hard to be sure…"
"Wow, so Mamoru and Rei's parents are Gay and Motoki and Makoto Parents are drug dealer" Minako said with a laugh "is there anything else we need to find out about our parents? Ami does your mother run some undercover hostel operation?"
Ami only glared at the blond as she pulled her dress up again, but was slapped hard on her hand by a very frustrated Usagi.
"Usagi you look amazing" Patrice said walking up to the well dressed group "you all do"
"Thank you Tuxedo Mask" Usagi said giggling "you look very dashing"
"Thank you princess" he took her hand gently and kissed it "so Juliet, where is your Romeo?"
"Oh he will-"
"Right here" Mamoru's voice interrupted the two
"Mamoru" Usagi said with a bow "you look incredible handsome"
Hours earlier
"Did Mamoru get your costume, Usa?" Rei asked as she fixed her black dress
"Not yet, but I hope he'll bring it soon" it was then that the group heard a knock at the door "that can't be them" Usagi said as she walked to her front door. Opening it she saw a large white box with a note and a red rose sitting on top of it.
My princess I look forward to seeing you at the ball
Love always your prince
Usagi smiled as she took the box and rushed upstairs.
"Is that the costume?" Minako asked as she pulled the rollers out of her blond hair
"I think so" Usagi said opening the box and pulling out a long white dress, she ran her fingers down the beautiful white silk "this is gorgeous"
"Oh my god, Usa it looks like a wedding dress" Rei said taking a seat next to her stunned blond friend
"Who is it?" Ami asked taking a seat next to Rei "the dress looks familiar…Ooo-ooo look at these wings…their gorgeous"
"It's from the Movie we watched as kids; you remember the modern take on Romeo and Juliet?" Minako said taking the seat next to her blue haired friend, Ami nodded "the two were forbidden to be together, but they met in secret and in the end killed themselves…just so romantic"
"Usagi-san, who got you this?" Rika asked taking a seat next to Minako "it's stunning"
"Mamoru" Usagi said still staring at the silk
"Usagi-san what's wrong? Don't you like it?" Rika asked
Usagi shook her head "oh, no I love it, it's just this silk…these stitches…the hem on this is so familiar…" Usagi pulled the dress completely out to find a note
Serenity
Dovete fare tanto per tutti gli altri, ho voluto fare questo per lei. Si prega di voler dire che giovane del vostro hello per me.
(You do so much for everyone else, I wanted to do this for you. please tell that young man of yours hello for me.)
Renato
"He contacted Renato and asked him to make our costumes…" Usagi said with a smile "I can't believe he did this"
"I guess I was wrong about my brother" Rei said smiling "come on, enough gawking let's get Juliet ready for the ball" Rei said pulling her blond friend up
After an hour Usagi stood in front of her full length mirror staring in awe of herself. Her blond hair was pulled half way up and the rest down in curls, which ran down her back. A ring of white lilies formed a burette in the back of her hair. The white dress fit her perfectly as the wings gave her the look of an angel. With light make up, little blush and light pink gloss Usagi was nothing but breathe taking.
DANCE
Mamoru and Usagi dance for the first time on the dance floor, Usagi wrapped her arms around his neck as she wrapped his arms around her waist "you look beautiful" he whispered in her ear
"You look handsome" she whispered back "thank you"
"For what?"
"You contacted Renato…you asked him to do this for me…for us" she laid her head on his shoulder "thank you"
"I would do anything for you" he whispered as his lips meet hers. "I love you Usako" he whispered
"I love you too" she whispered back
Soon the music ended and the couple went to join their awaiting friends
"So this will be what your wedding is like huh?" Rei said smiling at the loving couple
Usagi only giggled as Mamoru smiled like a small boy who had been given a pound of his favorite candy
As the group watched and waited for the rest of their friends and dates, someone caught Usagi's eyes, it took her a moment before she realized who it was.
"Is it just me or is Jed dressed like Michael Jackson?" Usagi whispered to her raven haired friend
The two watched as the teen in question moon danced up to them "how's it going ladies?"
Usagi brought her hand up to his face, seeing if the darkness that lay upon the once white teen was the results of Make up or…
"Did you get sprayed tanned?!" she asked shocked
Jed smiled proudly "Yep!"
"You do know that, that doesn't just wash out right?" Rei asked biting back a laugh
"The woman behind the counter said it did" he said back with annoyance
"Oh my god" Usagi giggled "she so played you"
"What?" he asked raising and eye brow
"I'm sorry to tell you Jed, but you're stuck this way for about 6 weeks" The two females busted out in amusement as they saw their now brown skinned friend frown
"And this color?" he asked running his hand threw his now black curls
"No way, you dyed your hair?!" Rei laughed harder
"Oh my god he premed it too!" Makoto pointed out as she stood next to her friends dressed as thing two. She waved her friends off as they looked at her strangely "Motoki is thing 1…parents" she said shrugging it off "perm" she pointed at Jed's hair as the two girl's continued their laughter
"The woman said it all washes out!" he pouted
"Depends when did you get it done?" Usagi asked
"Three days ago" he ran his dark hand through his hair once more "she said not to wash it for three days, so I listened!"
"So that's why you smelled funny" Rei mumbled to her self
"Holy crap Jed!" Usagi said still laughing "why would you perm your hair when your hair is naturally curly?"
"Because she told me it would look better!" he yelled "I didn't say anything because I thought you would have noticed!"
"Jed your hair is n-a-t-r-a-l-l-y curly, of course we wouldn't have noticed!" Usagi yelled back, but with a smile on her face
"When did you dye it?" Rei asked
"This afternoon" he said frowning
"I'm sorry Jed but you're stuck like that for some time" Makoto laughed "this is just classic" she said pulling out her camera phone
Jed stayed quiet as he heard his friends walk up
"How's it going Michael?" Nephrite said laughing; he wore a black business suit with his hair slicked back
"How cute, your --" Minako was silenced by Usagi's hand over her mouth
"Very dashing" she said with a sly grin "where did Makoto go?"
Minako took this time to push her cousin away from her "she went to change, and what was that all about?!"
"I don't want you telling him he's dressed up as Adam Bonner" Usagi whispered
"but it's too cute how they both dressed from the same movie, I mean come on Usa how many times do you see that happen?" she said with a grin
"Apparently quite a bit" Usagi said turning her cousin around to see the rest of the boys
There stood Zoi, dressed up as President Kennedy and Kunzite as Jay Gatsby
"How weird" Rei said laughing
"Great costume Daisy" Kunzite said to Minako
"Why thank you Mr. Gatsby" she said with a blush as Kunzite took her hand and lead her to the dance floor
"Awe how cute, there from the same movie" Makoto said showing up behind the girls now in her Katherine Hepburn outfit
"No way" The girls turned their attention to a stunned Nephrite "it has to be fate" he said smiling at an irritated Makoto
"One of you told him" she hissed
"We didn't say a word" Usagi said laughing
"Awe isn't this cute Ami their dressed from the same movie" Rei said mocking Makoto
"Care to dance? I mean you are my 'wife'" he said in a joking manner
"Fine, but if I feel your hands go any lower then my back your leaving here in a body bag" she warned as the two went out to the dance floor
"Um…Hi" Zoi said shakily as he stared at Ami
"Hi" Ami said as she continued to move her hands over her chest, without warning she felt something heavy lay on her shoulders
"You look like your uncomfortable" he said giving her a gentle smile "I thought you could use it"
She stared at the normally paranoid teen with surprise as she closed the jacket "thank you" she said with a smile
"Um…would you care to dance?" he asked rubbing the back of his neck"
"Yes" she said taking his hand
"Now that's what I like to see" Usagi said smiling as Rei nodded "now all we need is you and Jed out there"
"Where did the weirdo go anyway?" Rei asked as the two looked around the dance floor
Title: Edwin McCain - I'll be lyrics
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
His hands were around her waist holding her close to his body as her face lay on his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his neck as they moved slowly with the music.
"Minako" Kunzite whispered "I know that in the beginning I wasn't much of a gentleman to you"
"You've always been nothing but a gentleman, but not always nice" she said with a giggle
"I'm sorry" he whispered "there's just something about you Mina…something that makes me act so possessive of you" he felt her arms tighten "I made those rude comments about your clothing…because I was jealous"
"Jealous?" she whispered back
He nodes into her hair "I was jealous that you would allow others to see you…I was angry when ever another guy would look at you…I-I Love you Minako" before she could say anything he continued
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
never revealing their depth
tell me that we belong together
"You're like the sun in a dark and stormy day…when ever I see your smile I…I feel this warmth flood over me…my heart pounds in my chest…your funny, and kind and just an amazing woman…Minako I would be honored if you would accept being my girlfriend?"
Minako stopped dancing as he stared into his eyes "really?" she whispered in disbelief
"Really" he said back with a nod of his head, without another word she jumped up and kissed him passionately
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
"Your hand just fell" Makoto hissed
"No it didn't" Nephrite argued
"Yes it did! It fell like ½ an inch!"
"No it didn't" he said laughing "why do you always look so angry? You know you're beautiful when you smile"
"And your nothing but a pig headed jerk!" she said defensive
"God lord woman do you ever stop?!" Nephrite hissed back "Why are you always so defensive?"
"I'm not defensive!" she argued
"Yea, okay" he said in a mocking tone "Why can't you just admit that you like me" he said smiling at her
"Because I don't" she yelled "you're so aggravating!" she growled
"Then kiss me" he said with a smile
"What?" she asked shocked "No, Why would I do that?!"
"To prove you don't like me" Nephrite said smiling
"NO" she hissed "I don't need to kiss you to prove I dislike you!"
"Well then kissing me shouldn't be a problem" he said with a shrug
"Fine" without hesitation she slammed her lips into his, what was supposed to be a second turned into minutes
"I told you" he whispered as he pulled away
"You tricked me" she hissed pushing away from him and walking over to the punch bowl
"No I didn't" he laughed as he chased after her
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
"You know, this is the first time you've acted somewhat normal" Ami said with a smile
"I am normal" he said laughing "just because I believe things that others fail to see does not make me un-normal" he watched as Ami pulled on her blond wig with her free hand "I personally like girls with blue hair" he whispered into her ear
Ami blushed "but the blond looks cute on you, you should leave it for tonight" he said kindly as Ami stopped pulling on it "you really do look amazing" he said again
"Thank you" she whispered
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
Rika and Motoki danced on the dance floor the best they could, being that Motoki's 'thing 2' costume was a bit of a hassle "I look like an idiot" he mumbled as Rika giggled
"I think it's cute" she said kissing his cheek, as Motoki smiled brightly
"You look beautiful…I love Lucy is one of my favorite classic TV shows" he whispered as he leaned his forehead on to hers
"I have to admit I was a bit worried when Usagi offered to give me one of her costumes, but the girl has taste" she said with a laugh
"Yea, that's our Usa"
"Thanks for inviting me tonight Motoki"
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
"Well everyone seems to be doing well" Seiya said walking over to Usagi, Rei and Mamoru
"Where have you been?" she asked looking at her friend curiously
"Oh nowhere, just thought I check the grounds out for some single cute male companions"
"Any luck?" Rei asked
"No go" Seiya said sipping on his punch "their all straight as an arrow"
"Well maybe Mamoru can help, I mean he has a little experience in this field" Rei said laughing as her brother glared at her
I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Once the song was over the light in the gym turned off, there was a few frighten screams, as teen began to panic. Then a spot light shined on top of the bleachers to show Jed, his black sparkled jacket shining in the light as his white undershirt stuck to his skin, his tight dark jeans white socks and shinny shoes giving him the allusion of the late king of pop. His one hand was covered in a shinny glove as a black hat sat atop his curly black hair
"What is he doing?" Rei asked shocked as the dance floor cleared and music began to play "The Way You Make Me Feel"
Hee-Hee! – He comes down the bleachers and starts his ways to Rei
Ooh! -Go On Girl!-Aaow!
He walks up to Rei and starts to lip sings doing the movements like Michael Jackson

Once the song was over the crowd cheered with excitement as Jed took his bow
"That was fantastic!" Usagi cheered with enthusiasm "don't you think so Rei?"
"Where'd she go?" Makoto asked as the two looked around
"Over there" Mamoru said pointing to Jed
They watched as Rei embraced Jed "awe she looks happy" Minako said as she leaned into Kunzite
"That's good" Mamoru said kissing Usagi on the forehead "how about we all head back to my place for an after party?"
"But the dance isn't over yet" Ami said looking around
"Yea, but the sooner we leave the sooner you can change" Zoi whispered into her ear
"Oh right, let's go people"
Everyone laughed as Ami pulled Zoi by the arm exiting the Gym of the school as fast as she could.
Kakeru stood at the end of gym watching the couple as they exited the dance. A smile graced his lips as he wached his baby sister smile, laughing with her friends.
Serenities Secret-
It was his fourth birthday and he waited excitedly for his mother to show up for her weekly visit
"Grandma she's going to be here soon" the blond headed four year old said jumping up and down
"I know, but calm down Kakeru, you don't want to fall and hurt yourself"
"Yes grandma" he said smiling up at Ann
After serenities four years ago, Ann was able to talk Serenity into visiting her son once a week. Serenity agreed as long as Ann continued to raise the young boy.
"She's here!" he yelled as he saw her car pull up "Mommies here!" he yelled
Ann smiled down at Kakeru as he ran to the front door, she looked out the window and frowned when she saw the angry look upon Serenities face.
"MOMMY!" Kakeru yelled as he ran out the door and into his mother's arms "did you get me something?!" he asked smiling as Serenity handed him a well wrapped box
"Kakeru, I need you to take this box and go to your room okay?" serenity asked trying to hide her anger. She wasn't angry at the child, but at another situation.
Ann watched as Kakeru ran off happily to his room
"You're pregnant" Ann said, the once sweet and caring older woman was gone. After Kakeru birth Serenity slowly started to spiral out of control. But the older woman didn't want to give up hope; she strongly believed that the young woman would somehow turn her life around.
"Don't start" she hissed as she light a cigarette
Ann swiped the cigarette out of her hand and threw it to the ground "what do you think you're doing?!" she yelled
"What the hell Ann? Those aren't cheap you know!" she yelled back
"You're pregnant!"
"No shit!"
"Then you know smoking is bad for the baby!"
"Like I care for this damn mistake!" she yelled back "I need to find away to get rid of it" she said running her hands though her hair "I just got accepted to the university of California, how am I suppose to travel overseas and continue with my education if I'm with child?! I mean I can't go to the clinic and have an abortion, everyone in this damn town knows my mother!"
"Maybe if you would have kept your legs closed for once you wouldn't be in this mess!" Ann yelled "honestly Serenity you think you would have learned!"
"Spear me your 'life time' speech alright, I just got it from my mother I don't need it from you too!"
"Your mother knows?" Ann asked surprised "how did she find out? Did you tell her? How did she take the news?"
"She found the stupid test" Serenity said shaking her head "Then she freaked! She told me that she would help me raise the damn thing"
"That's wonderful Serenity, maybe now you can tell them about Kakeru"
"No" she said quickly "no! This isn't great, I don't want another damn kid!"
"What is the matter with you Serenity? Why are you being so heartless?"
"He left me!" she yelled tears running down her face "he left me again!" Ann embraced the blond as she cried into the older woman's chest,
Neither of them noticing the small four year old standing in the door way.
