A/N: I'm sorry I haven't been updating as fast as I could, but school is getting tough. I can't write whenever I want to anymore. When I find the time, I'll write it. However, it would help if I had some more reviews. I see how many people read this and how much hits this story has and I am decreasing in reviews. _ I work real hard to write this. Some encouragement would be nice.
Sesshy's Mistress: I apologize for not updating as frequent as before. School is always cutting in. I have the loads of hw. Erghh, it's frustrating. I hope you understand! Anyway, Heero and the guys won't know about Usagi doing it with Darien until later on in the story. Thank you for reviewing, and as long as I have new reviews, I will keep writing this until the end. There will always be an update.
Venus914: LOL you're confused? Man, that means I've accomplished my goal! XD I'm trying to make twist it up so no one know who will end up with who. Though it's been hard trying to write it lately. And maybe I won't pair anyone up with anyone . Maybe Makoto will be alone XD. Thanks for reviewing. XD The pairings in your reviews have changed again! It's amusing :D
JPandS: It's good that you don't know which pairings will result from this story. That means I'm doing a good job XD I know it kinda seems iffy because there are so many pairings and Heero suddenly starts to like how small Rei's hands are, but I wanted this story to seem more realistic. people have wandering eyes and thoughts too, no matter how loyal and devoted they are to the one they love. XD And if you didn't like Wufei in that chapter, I'm sure you won't like him in the future chapters because there will be more encounters with him and Ami in an elevator (and perhaps other places). Quatre is working in a different company (as a spy) so he's always busy with that. Hehe, sorry. He'll be in this chapter though, briefly. Hopefully you'll grow onto Duo in the future chapters. He'll start maturing :D And Usagi was a virgin until Darien took it away from her LOL Anyway, thanks for always reviewing to my new chapters. They are greatly appreciated. They motivate me to continue this story.
Last Man Standing
Usagi was exhausted. She'd awoken the next morning and Darien was gone. "Damn his work." She mumbled to herself and tossed around on the bed. She was ashamed of giving herself to someone without marrying before hand—but she and Darien were to be getting married soon anyway. It made no difference.
Her phone rang. Begrudgingly, she answered it. "Hello?" she asked, hoarsely. "Usagi. Ami has a boyfriend! You've got to come down to the café, NOW." Makoto's voice screeched through the phone. Usagi sat up, pin straight with her eyes fully awake. "WHAT? Ok, ok. Make sure no one leaves. I'm coming right—"
Usagi stopped and grumbled when she heard Makoto snickering quietly. "Mako, what the hell is going on?" she snapped. Makoto laughed. "I'm kidding—but you seriously have to come down. The five of us haven't really hung out altogether in a long time. Everyone's here except for you." she explained. Usagi could hear Minako's angry voice. "Get out of here, you creep!" she shrieked. Usagi could hear the strumming of an ukulele.
"Did some weirdo follow Minako around again?" Usagi asked, knowing all too well. Makoto sighed. "Well, sort of."
"I'll be right there." And Usagi hung up. Taking a shower and getting dressed up was painfully searing. Her thighs felt like they were being stretched with each step she made. She considered walking there since it wasn't really that far away, but her legs said otherwise, so she took a cab there instead. "I heard my name, are you guys talking behind my back?" she joked around as she walked into the café.
"Usa!" Minako turned around and bolted towards her. "Long time no see. You look tired. Are you feeling ok?" she asked, her grin melted into a worried frown. Usagi nodded with a grin. "Mina, your hair's gotten longer since the last time I saw you." she commented and ran her fingers along her hairline. "So did your stalker leave yet?" Usagi chuckled. Minako's eyes went wide. "Well, Usagi. If you're feeling sick, why don't you go home? You look so tired." She smiled nervously. "I'll take you home in my car too, if you'd like." She offered. Usagi shook her head. "Nope. I want to spend time with you guys." She exclaimed joyfully and hooked her arm with Minako's and walked towards the others.
Usagi froze when she heard the sound of an ukulele. She saw Ami clapping her hands to the beat with a grin on her face. Rei looked intrigued while Makoto uncomfortably shifted around as Usagi arrived.
Ka pipio mai o ke anuenue na waiho'o
lu'u a halikeole'e
Na hana a ke aloha Ma`alo
Ana i ka ua lana malie
I ka lani malama ho`ike
Mai ana la i ka nani—
Duo stopped singing and turned around with a grin. "Hey, angel eyes. Long time no see!" he waved and continued strumming, but slightly softer this time. Usagi turned to Minako with a red face. "This is the creep that followed you here?" Minako nodded silently.
Usagi bitterly sat down next to him. "I didn't know you could speak Hawaiian." She folded her arms and looked away.
"Isn't it amazing?" Ami grinned, clapping her hands. "You must give me lessons someday, Duo." She insisted. Duo rolled his head from side to side happily. "Yeah—if only I understood any of it." Then he quickly added. "The only words that I really in Hawaiian are 'love,' hello,' and 'goodbye.' " he exclaimed.
"What are they?" Rei questioned intently.
"Aloha." He gave a sheepish grin. Ami let out a girlish laugh. "Incredible!" she shrieked. Usagi arched a brow questioningly at Ami. "Is she drunk?" she asked to no one in particular.
"Duo put something in her coffee." Makoto exclaimed, waving her hand lazily in the air. "Pft." Duo faked an insulted expression. "Yeah—cream!" he sounded hurt. "Pft." Rei smacked him. "Yeah—right!" she said sarcastically.
Duo laughed like a maniac, prompting Ami to join. Her cheeks flushed red. "Jesus," Makoto put a hand to her own forehead. "I haven't seen Ami having this much fun since never." She commented. Minako grinned. "Aw, how cute. Ami's boring and Duo made her have fun. You know what they say, right Duo? Opposites attract!" she sang teasingly. Duo narrowed his eyes towards Ami and rolled his head from side to side as if contemplating. "Eh." He finally said, making a so-so gesture with his hand. "Maybe."
Rei rolled her eyes at his remark and turned away. Duo caught this and grinned. "You getting jealous over there, babe?" he poked her gently. "Don't worry. You can be back-up wife number five!" he raised five fingers in front of her face. Rei slapped his hand away and groaned. "What are you talking about?"
"Who're the back up wives before Rei?" Makoto questioned curiously. Duo leaned back in his chair and smirked. "Makoto; you're back up wife number four. Ami's number three. Minako is number two," he turned and pointed at Usagi. "I'm going to do my best to make her my wife." He declared. "But if I fail, then I'll count on you guys." He said throwing his arms in the air. "I don't want to be alone forever, you know."
"But why am I number five?" Rei snapped. Duo sighed and got down on one knee before her. He held her hand in his and proposed to her. "Rei Hino. Will you marry me?"
"NO!" she shrieked and slapped him across the face. Duo sighed again and threw his arms in the air. He paused for a moment with a blank expression. His eyes aimed at the windows. Trowa had been there, gesturing for him to come out. Finally, he shouted "Well then!" and he walked out of the café strumming his ukulele. "The creep's finally gone." Minako remarked and her shoulders began to relax.
"Usa," Ami muttered. "You look awfully tired. What happened?" she questioned. Usagi took a deep breath before replying. "Don't be mad at me after I tell you this, ok?" she bit her bottom lip nervously. Minako snapped her fingers. "You lost it to Darien." She answered for her. Usagi gasped. "How did you—?"
"I'm a love therapist, remember?"
"Oh."
"So how was it?" Rei asked. "Did it hurt?" Ami added. "Was it awkward?" Makoto occupied Duo's empty seat next to Usagi. "Good. Like hell. And not really." Usagi answered all three of their questions.
"Was it his first time?" Ami wondered aloud. "It couldn't have been. Usa just said that it wasn't awkward." Makoto remarked. Minako arched a brow. "Did he seem like he knew what he was doing?"
Usagi nodded slowly. "Then it wasn't his first time." Minako simply declared. Rei frowned. "Are you serious? How many times did you—OW!" Makoto nudged her and gestured at the children who were sitting with their parents at a table nearby.
Rei sighed. "Fine. How many times did you come in his house?" she winked at Makoto and then winked secretively at Usagi. Usagi understood clearly. "A lot. I'm not sure how many times, but it was a lot." She blushed. Minako rubbed her chin. "Hmm. So he did know what he was doing. It's either Usagi's a lightweight or Darien's a professional." She said, finally coming to a conclusion.
"Usagi, you aren't Darien's first."
Usagi slumped in her seat. "Ugh. Unbelievable. He lost his virginity to someone else." She looked depressed.
A tiny jolt of relief and happiness sparked in his heart as Quatre continued explaining everything through the phone. "I was at a loss for words, Heero. I couldn't believe what I was seeing." He said with increasing panic.
Heero smiled. "If Usagi finds out about this, she'll leave him, I'm sure." He stated. Quatre narrowed his eyes. "Don't you care about Usagi's feelings at all? She'll be devastated!" he protested. Heero removed the phone from his ear and stared at with a wincing expression. He hated when Quatre protested.
Wufei, who calmly watched Heero speaking on the phone with Quatre, stood up from his chair and folded his arms over his chest. "Is there a problem?" he questioned. Heero shook his head briefly in response. "Quatre, Do you have any evidence of what you just explained to me?"
The line went quiet for a moment. "I can hack into the security cameras. Will that be enough?" Quatre finally answered, still sounding unsure. Heero grunted. "That would be enough. I'll have Trowa pick it up in thirty minutes. That's enough time for you to retrieve the footage, right?" without letting Quatre answer, he hung up.
"Wufei, you faggot!" Duo's voice could be heard coming from behind Heero's office doors. Heero turned to see Wufei's reaction. "Hilarious." Wufei grunted, not even turning around to greet the two men walking through the door.
"Wufei, did you hear me?" Duo walked in, strumming his ukulele loudly. Trowa shook his head disapprovingly. "Everyone did, Duo. Everyone from the lobby to the thirty-seventh floor."
"Who asked you?" Duo snapped and propped himself on the black, leather couch. "Sweet office, man." He remarked and propped his feet up on the table. "So could you explain to me why Trowa had to come and take me away from five beautiful girls?"
"Didn't I explain why I had to do that on the way up here?" Trowa sighed. Duo rolled his head around which prompted cracking noises from his neck. "God, Trowa. Every time I hear your voice, I want to go to sleep. Will you just keep quiet so I can concentrate on staying awake for the rest of the day, please?" he snapped. Wufei chuckled under his breath. Heero smirked, slightly amused.
Completely flustered, Trowa walked towards the window and gazed at the view of the city.
"So what's the dill?" Duo gave a quick nod in Heero's direction. Heero loosened the tie around his neck. "Quatre's found out some interesting information." He stated. Duo rolled his eyes. "Don't be like Trowa and build up the suspense," he whined air quoting the last four words. Trowa turned around, appalled by what Duo had said about him and heaved.
"Just get straight to the damn point and tell me what Quatre learned today!" he demanded. "What. Did he find out he was actually a girl?" Wufei chuckled at Duo's extra remark. Heero sighed impatiently and leaned back in his chair. "I think it would be best if you saw the footage. You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway." He stated, dryly.
Duo cocked his head to the side. "Why wouldn't I believe you, Heero? You're almost my best friend." He said, emphasizing the word 'almost'
"If we haven't made it clear in the last seven and a half years, then I'll make it clear now. We have trust issues." Duo arched a brow. "What makes you say that?" he asked. Heero groaned. "This," he pulled a Jericho 941 compact from a pocket on the inside of his jacket and aimed it at Duo. Duo jerked his head back in surprise. Wufei stood aside and watched calmly. Trowa was unfazed by it. The safety click off and Heero pulled the trigger. Duo dodged and landed on his back. The bullet punctured the couch on the exact spot where Duo had been sitting.
"Damn," Wufei muttered. "That could've been you." he grunted. "Heero. You need to shoot faster next time." Heero nodded. "I'll keep that in mind." He then turned to Trowa. "Trowa. Go to the company building where Quatre was assigned to spy under. He has something for us."
"Presents!" Duo cheered. Wufei hit his head. "No, you idiot."
Trowa nodded and was well on his way. It didn't take him too long to drive all the way on the opposite side of the city to meet with Quatre and drive back again. It only allowed Wufei, Duo, and Heero to play one game of 'Last Man Standing' with their own guns. Duo had almost died twice. When Trowa walked in, the office had been marked with bullet holes. The couch was busted up and lopsided. The only thing still intact was, surprisingly, the floor-to-ceiling length windows.
"Amazing." Trowa rolled his eyes and handed several disks to Heero. Heero promptly inserted them into his laptop. They all gathered behind the laptop screen and watched with disturbed faces.
"God almighty." Duo breathed out, clutching his heart. Heero nodded in approval. "This is what we need to break Usagi and Darien up." He exclaimed. "There will only be one man left standing for Usagi—and that man will definitely not be him."
A/N: Hey guys. I make the time to write this for you all. Reviews would be nice, seriously. They mean a lot. I waste hours of my free time to write this when I could be taking a nice nap. The least you could do is review, critique, y'know. LOL Silent readers—you guys are awesome too, but you'd be cooler if you reviewed. Thanks! :D
BTW, I'm writing a new story about Sailor Moon & Gundam Wing. It's called "To Have Loved" and it's centered on trust, jealousy, love/friendship, & revenge. Here's the summary: Marrying for money, for jealousy, for revenge and for love. In this game, everyone gets played. Having loved someone may be the biggest mistake in their lives.
