Sorry it's been so long, guys! I've been really busy as of late ^_^' Anyways, I was writing this chapter, then the browser crashed and I hadn't saved it. Luckily, I moved some that I was gonna put on the last chapter to Word to put in this chapter, and saved it there. Although I wrote some after that bit, most of it was saved. I almost cried. I didn't breathe for a few moments. Thank God for Cliffhangers! Lol jk. Sailor Moon is owned by TOEI Animation and Naoko Takeuchi. It's really weird saying Cliffhanger (well, typing, really) because my weird uncle's name is Cliff o_o
"Thank you, again, Mr Akai."
"It's no problem."
I go back into the school, back to the classroom, back to my seat. Another folded up sheet of paper lands on my desk. I look in the direction it came from to see Makoto looking at me with a worried expression.
I sigh and open the note.
What's going on?
I suppress a groan. I write:
We'll have a meeting directly after school at Rei's.
I pass the note Yuki, who passes it to Minako, who reads it and passes it to Hikaru, who passes it to Haruhi, who passes it to Ami, who reads it and passes it to Tamaki, who passes it to Kanako, who passes it, finally, to Makoto, who reads it. (A/N: If anyone has seen Ouran High School Host Club, that's where I got the names from :3 It's a really good show, it's hilarious XD) We four have nothing to hide, so the note always goes through all of us. Somehow, we always manage to do this without being caught. I look at them, and they nod.
After club activities, I head to Hikawa Shrine, running so that I can be first. I'm looking at my feet, so I don't notice a person in front of me till I hit them. I regain my balance, and, not really looking at him, say, "Sorry."
"Wait!" He catches my wrist. Of all people, I ran into Mamoru. Damn. I was trying to delay talking to him till after the meeting. Well, nothing I can do now. "What's wrong? You look sad." Again, I want to scream out and cry. I want to say those horrible, sarcastic words. I want to pull my hand free and continue running, but elsewhere, to a dark hole where I can curl up and die. Maybe I should take him with me to the temple, so I don't have to repeat myself.
I sigh. "Would you come with me?" I look at him.
He looks confused. "Huh? Oh, sure, what's up?"
"Just- come."
He lets go of my wrist and , and I begin running again. He follows me.
Once we get there, I see Rei sweeping the ground in her Miko (A/N: Miko means Priestess in Japanese) uniform. Ami's already here.
"Makoto... did you... tell her?" I say, breathless.
"Yes, I did. Did you run here?"
I nod, and sit next to her. "Minako... and Makoto."
"We're he~ere!" We all look to see those two coming up the stairs.
"Hey, thanks for joining the party!" Rei says sarcastically.
"Are we late?"
"A little," Ami says.
"Anyways, why'd you call the meeting?" Rei looks at me.
I hold up a finger, still a little out of breath. I get it under control. "Well," I say, and swallow, "as you three know," I gesture to Minako, Ami and Makoto, "I got called out of class today."
"Twice."
"Twice." I pull my knees to my chin and wrap my arms around them. I take a deep breath. "Well, you see, it's like this." I tell them about Mr. Akai, what he told me, and what happened when we went to tell Shingo. "Just thought I should let y'all knowthat I'll be moving on Monday."
"Monday?!"
I pull my legs closer, making my little ball tighter. "F-For this reason, I appoint Mamoru as leader of the Senshi of Juuban, Tokyo. Not because of who is to me, but because of what his Guardian Planet is, the Earth. Therefore, you four must listen to him, talk to him, get to know him, just like me. I should be back in three years, once I've finished high school." I want to tell them about what Setsuna-san said, but I can't. They can't know that I knew this would happen. This is probably the way it is so that we can get stronger. I stand. "That's all." I leave.
That night, Mr Akai stays at our house so it isn't too lonely.
"You can call me Kyou," he says.
"Then you can call me Usagi."
"And call me Shingo."
Kyou is a really cool guy. He's 28. He's got a half-sister who's my age. Turns out, it's Naru! How about that. He likes baseball. He listens to all kinds of music, and plays guitar and can sing really well. He plays a lot of sports.
He and my brother talk for a while. It's good to see that they get along.
After dinner (Kyou makes the BEST lasagna) I go to my room and begin packing things. I pack some clothes for Sundays and holidays. (A/N: In Japan, the only day off in a normal week is Sunday, but on Saturday, I believe, club activities are cancelled. I'm not sure, though.) I go to my desk and pack my journals from school, my diary, and... the picture of me, Mamoru, and Chibiusa in the pink bunny frame. A couple of drops of water fall and hit the desk. My fist clenches so tight the my palm begins to bleed. My knees give out. I curl up into a ball and sob silently, not wanting to disturb Shingo and Kyou's friendliness.
Sorry guys! I cut this one short (shorter than it would've been) because it's been so long since I've posted a chapter, and the writing's been slow... For this story anyways. Think I've said before, maybe not, but the majority of this story is just details in my brain o_o I literally made up Kyou on the spot. I mean, I had an idea for a man to go to her class and tell her the news, but I didn't know anything about him XD The story will get better later, when she gets to her Grandmother's house. I'll introduce the two characters. About them, I thinking about making them homo and a couple (a small give away; they're the same gender. I'm trying not to spoil ANYTHING because I like annoying you guys with cliffhangers and no spoilers), but I didn't want it to be too try-hard. Tell me what you think! Thanks for reading!
