Author's Notes: I am SOOOO sorry that I haven't updated. I didn't get out of school until August 22 and before that I was taking the equivalent of 20 credits. Afterwards I did community service and caught up on the sleep that I had been missing for the last six or so months. Anyways, I will try and get another chapter out this week but if I can't I'm very sorry. I won't stoop to blackmailing people for reviews but I really would appreciate it if you would. Thanks for reading my story. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
The next day started out well for Usagi. Between her alarm, Luna, and her mother, she managed to get out of bed at a
decent time and was able to eat a good breakfast (which was something that she could not remember being able to do on a school day in a very long time). When she arrived as school she was very pleased to find that while she was by no means the first person to arrive (that was always Ami), she was also not the last. She unfortunately didn't have time to talk to Ami or Makoto before the bell rang, signaling everyone to take his or her seats. "Good morning everyone," greeted Miss Haruna, "please pass all of your homework to the front of your rows." Papers and books were shuffled and banged as assignments were dug out of every crevice imaginable. Usagi, whose papers were already sitting neatly on her desk and were also complete thanks to Mamoru, waited patiently until the pile came up behind her and she added her perfectly stapled packet to the pile and passed it forward to the girl sitting in front of her who promptly fell out of her chair. Usagi had wanted to keep her tutoring a secret from the others in the class
because she didn't want them to think she was any stupider than they already did. Unfortunately she was forced by Miss Haruna to do a problem on the board (which she somehow got correct) and was grilled by them between subjects. "Come on Usagi! Tell us why you have improved some much in one day!" whined Naru (AN: Is that Molly's Japanese name?). "My mom got me a tutor, ok. I started yesterday. He was just able to explain that concept to me better than Miss H. was. Now leave me alone. I do NOT want to get detention today." Usagi shooed her friend away and attempted to pay attention for the rest of the morning.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
At lunch Ami and Makoto pounced on her and demanded a recap of the tutoring
session and the dinner following it. "So, so? How did it go? Was he a good teacher? What was his apartment like? Did your father kill him at dinner? Did he leave you anything in his will?" Makoto was breathless as she chattered incessantly and Usagi finally flung up her hands in defeat. "Ok, ok. I'll tell you everything. 1) It went great, 2) he was a very good teacher as evidenced by my performance in class today, 3) his apartment was VERY neat and very well decorated for a guy, 4) No, Mamoru was still breathing after he left my house, and 5) I will have to ask him about his will this afternoon. Does that cover everything?" Usagi collapsed under a tree and began eating her lunch. "Yup, I think that covers all my questions." "Good. I'm starved."
The girls continued eating and discussing what they were going to that weekend until the bell rang for class.
"Oh well, back to the torture." ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Later that afternoon, Usagi walked with her friends out of the hellhole known as school (AN: I like school, just not high school).
"Oh great! Now after 7 hours of school I get to go and enjoy 3 hours of Mamoru- baka's teaching." Usagi groaned as she walked towards the sidewalk. By the time she reached Mamoru's car her pigtails were dragging on the ground and the look on her face was one of pure misery.
"Hey Odango, what's your problem?" Mamoru was leaning against his car with a look of humor on his face as he watched the girl drag herself slowly towards his car. The hated nickname soon had her perked up again as she proceeded to scream at him.
"DO NOT CALL ME ODANGO!!! How many times do I have to tell you that before it makes it through that extremely thick skull of yours?" Usagi glared at her longtime tormentor as he simply smiled down at her.
"Get in the Odango. Your parents aren't paying me to stand on the street and argue with you." This only produced a shriek from her as he pushed himself off from the car and walked to the driver's side. "Usagi. GET IN." Mamoru growled this last command and Usagi meekly obeyed.
Usagi only remained meek for a few minutes however. By the time they reached his building she was ready to start an argument.
"Mamoru."
"Yes, Odango."
"Why do you call me Odango, even though I have asked you time and again not to?" She smiled up sweetly at him. Unfortunately Mamoru was not convinced of the sincerity of her sweetness and began slowly backing away from the scary girl before answering her. (AN: Oohh, big bad Usagi is gonna get me).
"I c-call you Odango b-because. . . Ilikemakingyouangry." Mamoru rushed the last little bit as he thought to himself 'And because you're cute when you're angry. Ok where the hell did that come from? I'm confused.' All this was running through his head as the angry blonde in front of him digested what he had said.
"You call me Odango because you like making me ANGRY!!! What the HELL is that about?" She was breathing heavily by this point and her complexion was heading towards a rather dangerous shade of crimson
"I don't know Odango. Honestly." By this time the elevator had opened on Mamoru's floor and he ushered her off, walking warily behind her as she got closer and closer to blowing her top. "Let's get some food, ok?"
"Alright, but this is so not over mister. Just because I am hungry does not mean that I am not angry. We will continue this after I eat." She huffed into his apartment and flopped onto the couch. Mamoru headed straight into the kitchen to begin putting together a snack. Usagi relaxed on the couch until a sudden beeping interrupted her rest. 'My communicator. Great timing as usual!' She glanced towards the kitchen and quietly opened her communicator. "What do you want?" Ami's face appeared in the screen her blue tiara shining on her forehead letting Usagi know that there was most likely an attack somewhere. "There is a new youma attacking in the park by Rei's school. We can't handle it by ourselves. We need Sailor Moon." Screams were heard in the background as the youma attacked again. "I'm at Mamoru's. How am I supposed to get out of here?" "I don't know Usagi. Just do it. I have to go." "Great. Just great." Mamoru came back into the room then carrying a platter of food. "Here Usagi. I have chips, crackers, and sodas. Will that do?" "Uhh, I have to go Mamoru. My friends need my help with something really quick. I forgot that I had promised to help them. I can be back in less than half an hour, I promise. Uhh, bye." Usagi rushed out the front door leaving a gaping Mamoru holding the food. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
I am sorry that I ended it here but I don't exactly know yet just how I am going to do the fight scene yet. I won't have any homework tomorrow so I will try and update then. Please review and let me know if I did better with the dialogue in this chapter. I really tried to make it a bit less trite than in previous chapters. Please read and REVIEW!!!!!!!! Thank you to everyone who has read my story and has reviewed me with advice. I really do appreciate it.
