Usagi's New Life: Chapter 3,
(Disclaimer see Chapter 1, this chapter had been in the works for quite a while...)
The trip and a surprise!
Usagi and Haruka were packing and getting in Michu's spare car, both women could really use some time away, Michu was already on her way to the stop. She had to get up early and since it was going on 6:30. Haruka knew her cousin well, Michu would be making good time to her bus stop on the West side of Japan; as Haruka placed the last bag in the red car turning to see Usagi behind her with her purse and phone texting Naru. Haruka smiled they needed this time away together, so that Usagi and Haruka can be a couple well officially: the two had entered in the car with Haruka buckling her seat belt looking over at her little dumpling.
Haruka was hoping that this trip would bring herself and the blonde dumpling, as they were speeding down the road to the airport; feeling the cool summer early morning wind flowing through her hair. Passing by some early morning joggers and walkers and runners, as the red car had stopped at a red light, Usagi happened to look out of the corner of one her trademark big blue eyes and she saw long back length silver shiny hair that was pulled back in a low pony tail, and a bare muscular chest, Usagi could tell that this man was tall and elegant looking almost like a knight. As the two women were waiting at the longest red light in history, Usagi could tell by his jogging attire that he was wearing sweat pants, that were sky blue draw string as the light had turned from red to green...
finally...
As the two were pulling away the older yet beautiful man was busy stretching his long legs, Usagi could've sworn that the jogger looked so familiar to her the blonde younger girl swore that she had met him before? Or was she seeing things? Usagi had shaken herself from her thoughts as Haruka was speeding down the highways and freeways. She had noticed that her dumpling was quiet, largely quiet, looking over quickly to glance at the girl of her affections ''Dumpling, are you alright? You seem quiet...'' Haruka had asked out of concern, Usagi was very really that quiet, the blue eyed girl shook her head side to side again.
Usagi smiled and looked over at Haruka ''Hai Haruka-Chan, I am ok, I was just thinking about something...'' Came her answer as Haruka pulled into a parking space at the meeting place in an airport parking lot. Both her looking around trying to find both Nephrite and Naru, they both had gotten their bags and continued to walk side by side making some more small talk ''Dumpling, you have been quiet since the first stop, now please tell me what is wrong..'' Came Haruka's gentle plea, her little dumpling was troubled, and Haruka knew it as they both had stopped walking and looking for the engaged couple. Usagi had sighed quietly to herself Haruka and Michu knew and her other senshi friends knew their Moon Princess very well.
''Oh its nothing Haruka-Chan, I just thought that I saw some one that I knew about a few minuets ago. But I think that it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.'' Usagi had said, while she had pulled her phone out from her purse and texting Naru finding out where the couple are at. As Usagi had stared at the male jogger, flashes from the first fight against the nega force, Queen Beryl and the darkness that followed the woman that sold her soul because of Mamo Chan's previous choice about thousand years ago. A thousand years ago the moon kingdom was a pure and beautiful kingdom full of innocence and life; and the romance between Princess Serenity and The Prince of Earth Endymion; then the darkness had defiled and murdered the people on the moon.
When Beryl was turning into one of the dark queens of the nega force, she even brainwashed the four heavenly kings the four knights that had sworn to serve and protect their master. But then the final battle good vs evil, Kunzite sacrificed himself for Minako, who was severly injured, as Minako had gotten injured from a lethal blast as the beautiful blonde had fallen down to the snowy cold ground; blood had poured from her awful wounds as Minako fell. As Minako had fallen, Kunzite rememebered their pure love, tears were falling from his silver eyes, as he scooped her up in the middle of the battle without anyone noticing them; he had looked down at her, the light in her eyes was fading her body was becoming colder and colder.
Usagi had remembered when Kunzite had held Minako tighter to him while he cried, while cried for the love that they could've had, while he cried for the love that they had a thusand years prior; the promises that they had made to each other. Kunzite was powerless Venus, the real leader of the Sailor Senshi, was dying fast she had reached up with her last ounce of strength and stroked his beautiful crying face ''I...I love you...Ku-Kunzite... p-prote-protect Se-Sern- Serenity...'' She had died in his arms, both of their hair and clothen was blowing into the wind and the snow, Kunzite watched as Minako had taken her last breath she disappeared in his arms, all that was left of her was her 'Love Me Chain' Kunzite had placed it around his neck with tears and her blood flowing down his face.
As Princess Serenity, Usagi, had banished the darkness using the silver crystal and using everything that she was and will be in her first of many battles against the dark side. One after another, and so forth, and three years ago Usagi had thought that she was going to be actually happy for once. Usagi had thought that she was going to be happy without the constant threat of evil looming above her head, true as bad as she was hurting Usagi knew that Minako was hurting even more. One night, after Mamo-Chan had left one Usagi without a lie or even a goodbye, Minako had invited her to stay at her house for a few nights; the first night Usagi and Minako were sharing a bed. Poor Minako was having that same nightmare, the one about her dying in Kunzite's strong arms her screaming had made Usagi to wake her up and comfort her crying friend.
As Usagi had snapped out from her memories of her past, she had seen both Naru and Nephrite coming towards the two; they had said their hellos and good mornings the couple in question was nearly late! And in truth, those two were always punctual or even early, until Naru had spoken ''Gomen, Mina, we were rushed this morning, one did anyone feel that earthquake last night?'' Both Haruka and Usagi were walking with the couple, while Naru was asking them about the thunderous earthquake the previous night. Both Haruka and Usagi had shook their heads 'no' as Naru and her fiance were handing the workers what they needed, as did the other two women. Usagi was in a daze as they boarded and were seated in first class, Haruka was sitting by her object of her affection; as Naru and Nephrite took their seats in front of the two, the four were exchaning excited small chatter.
The plans were simple, they were going to be on the plane for about three hours, then to the dock and to get on the curse ship and go to their tropical island. Usagi couldn't help to think about the unknown jogger that she had seen, earlier this morning, she knew him, there were no questions about it no ifs ands or buts about it; however Rei didn't have any visions of this male or vibes- nothing. It was all baffling, to say in the least, and the stranger that she had seen last night Seiya that person looked a lot like him! Naru had looked behind her while Nephrite had taken her ringed hand, Usagi was in another world giving all that she had been through during the past three years no one could really blame her; and that's why Naru had suggested this trip for at least a week or two.
Usagi had pulled out her pink metallic Ipod touch, and played it on low lip syncing the words 'Sensation, emotion... Deep feeling... True devotion...' while looking out of the window and seeing the parts of Tokyo that she knew zip by her; she missed Mamo-Chan, all she really wanted was for him to say that if he didn't want to be with her anymore he couldn't said it, not take off like that, Usagi had really thought that they were going to be together forever and beyond; however it wasn't meant to be.
As much as it hurt her, she knew deep down that they had grown apart for a while but that didn't mean for him to leave her with nothing spoken between them. As Usagi had felt Haruka's hand on her's, she had slowly turned her head in her friend's general direction,
the blue eyed guardian of the moon and the moon princess knew that Haruka planet Uranus's protector and member of the senshi court sworn to protect and serve the Princess Serenity; the dumpling headed young woman knew that Haruka was still in love with her.
Usagi cared for Haruka deeply and loved her like a very close friend, but she didn't feel that way for her, maybe if things were different who knows? Haruka had leaned forward and gently and quietly pulled one of the earphones from Usagi's ears ''My little bunny,
you shouldn't think so much, everything will workout the way it was and will be intended I know that you miss him but you shouldn't dwell on people that purposely do you harm.'' True, Haruka was right, even though Haruka herself did hurt Usagi during the battle against Galaxia her and Michu were not in their right minds. Usagi had peaked over at Naru's and Nephrite's seats, and seeing that Naru was texting her cousin ''Naru-Chan,'' She had looked around ''Nani Usagi-Chan?'' She replied like always ''Have you heard from,
Hitomi lately?'' The girl smiled, before turning around to meet her best friend's stare, while holding her moble device ''Yes I have just before we boarded, she said that she will be back in Japan about a couple of days after we get back from our trip... she said that she has been missing us a lot traveling and all; oh and she met someone,'' Usagi had looked shocked!
It wasn't like Hitomi was 'ugly' or anything, far from it, Hitomi could've been a princess that's how beautiful she looked; Naru's older cousin used to baby sit them, but a thought had entered her head ''If she did, then how long have they been dating and does Madoka get along with this man?'' Naru was quickly typing the questions that Usagi was asking fastly, and Naru did have those question too, after Hitomi had replied ''She said that they have been dating for two years now and yes Madoka gets along with him very well, and the feeling is mutual. Madoka sees that man as his father...'' Explained Naru as the plane was landing to another airport at a nearby dock.
Getting off the plane and grabbed their stuff, and waiting for a rental car, and getting in and going to the dock ''We are here!'' Naru had said happily said while the four were looking at the huge ship that was gonna take them and everyone else to their destination; getting their stuff and getting on the ship after being greeted by the crew members. While they were shown to their rooms, naturally Naru and Nephrite were gonna share a room and Haruka and Usagi were as well; the four had decided to go up to the deck and enjoy the fresh warm salty air. As Usagi had sat down while taking off her large over shirt, to show her pink one piece swim suite, and pulling out her phone and some sunscreen ''Oh, hey Haruka-Chan!'' The blue eyed blonde dumpling hared young girl looked up from texting their friends and Michu.
''Dumpling did you want something to drink?'' Asked the older woman while handing her a bottle of water, and Usagi had thanked her, setting her phone down and looking at her ''I just texted Michu and our friends to let them know that we had arrived and we are okay. And I took a few extra moments to text Minako-Chan, to ask her if she was okay, and she was and if she needed to talk to me if she needed someone to talk to.'' Haruka had smiled softly that's her dumpling, always a good friend, that had Haruka so proud of her; and Haruka wishes that she could see Mamoru and kick him around for a good twenty minuets. But if he is too blind or stupid to see what's in front of him that he never deserved Usagi; or someone like her, upon seeing both Naru and Nephrite walk up to them hand in hand smiling ''It will be a couple of days until we get to the island, and it will be perfect weather! And did you guys hear what else happened last night?'' Seeing the twos strange looks, Naru really needs to stop watching the night time news.
''Someone by the name of Ninja Siren, has been spotted somewhere in Tokyo and she has been stopping a lot of strange things that have been happening at the south dock... and other strange quakes from the ground a couple in the waters!'' Naru had chatted on while taking off her blue cover that was around Naru's thin waist to reveal a nice blue bikini. As Naru had finished sitting down, Nephrite had sat by her wearing a comfortable grey draw stringed swim trunks. Then Naru's phone had gone off 'Audi La Sing' looking shocked, that was Hitomi's ringtone! Her cousin never called her around this time ''Hello? Oh hey Hitomi! Huh... really, what are you serious!?'' Naru had went on talking to her, what had surprised them when Naru had stood up with the phone in her hand and getting to the rail and looking up '' Oh My God!'' She happily screamed and waved.
The three couldn't get up in enough time, to catch Naru, the younger of the three besides Usagi they had seen Naru and a slightly taller girl hugging ''Hitomi I missed you so much!'' Naru's older cousin, Hitomi was about 4 inches taller than Naru and the other hugging girl Hitomi was semi breasted; and sun kissed skin and dark brown hair that reached her waist. After parting from each other, both Naru and Hitomi have the same smile and proving that they were definitely related, Hitomi was in a red halter designed bikini that hugged her curvy figure perfectly, and showed off her pierced crescent moon navel, and a red heart slave marker tattoo like design on both of her feet that had red nail polish on her perfect toes... even her toes! After parting again, Naru had looked behind her ''Oh where are my manners?! Gomen mina! Hitomi, this is my fiance Nephrite, and our friend Haruka, and you remember Usagi?'' After shaking Haruka's and Nephrite's hands, and turning her green gaze on Usagi.
''Of course, my little hamper head!'' Usagi groaned, she hated that nickname, the the two that consisted of Nephrite and Haruka looked stunned and confused 'hamper head?' Naru was giggling, ''Not funny Naru-Chan!'' *Traitor...* Usagi had mentally gripped while they were sitting down Haruka by her little dumpling; Naru had sat between Nephrite and Hitomi. Nephrite had spoken ''Is there a reason as to why you call Ms. Usagi 'hamper head' as you put it?'' Usagi groaned again, while the two giggled, Hitomi had cleared her throat ''Yes, there is, I used to babysit for both Naru-Chan and Usagi-Chan, and her little brother who was an infant...'' Nephrite had perked up, as Haruka had as well, Hitomi didn't look her age!
Noticing the looks ''I know that I don't look my age, I take care of myself very well, but anyway Naru-Chan and Usagi-Chan were about four or five around that time and Naru was always such a well behaved girl. As Usagi, well whenever she wasn't klutzing out,'' Usagi face planted, as Hitomi had continued ''I turned my back for a moment to take care of Shingo, Usagi-Chan's little brother, and the second that I had I heard Naru-Chan scream and laugh; with Shingo in my arms I see Usagi-Chan in a wicker hamper head first, with the lid slamming shut on her rump!'' Nephrite was chuckling while Naru was laughing very hard at the memory of it; even Haruka was hiding a couple snickers at her little kitten's klutzing out.
''Hitomi!'' ''Mommy!'' The group had heard a male voice calling her name, they all turned to see... Zoicite?!
(End of chapter 3, long in the work I know, this chapter was a flashback and Usagi's conflicting feelings, this was inspired by Aura peachy from Youtube! thank u... R&R!)
