AllyM25@aol.com *AN:* Sorry I haven?t written in a while guys! But like, my computer is totally messed up and it?s hard to come down to my grandparent?s house just to write and post this story and my other one! Well, this chapter is short and crappy, just to get back in the swing of things; but I guess it?s also important ?cuz it opens another branch of the story. *Rated:* G-for this one *Disclaimer:* I don?t own Sailormoon. Don?t sue me. Enough said. *Note:* This is written and reviewed by myself. So don?t freak if you see a mistake or anything. Pain Under Beauty School. The word echoed around in the frighten teenager?s mind. School meant having to see people; having to see people meant you had to visit with friends that know you are a killer. A soft moan escaped the light pink lips of the petite blonde; she brought two shaking thin hands up to her temples and massaged them till the pounding stopped. She didn?t want to go anywhere today, much less a seminary where everybody?s eyes would bare through you, eating you away and then spitting you back out. ?Gomen! I didn?t see you!? Usagi said after colliding with someone; someone who had such a well built body. She looked up to see ink black hair hanging softly over two shining orbs of the darkest blue. Usagi could feel her throat closing and her heart screaming with agony; some emotions you couldn?t fight off. Mamoru stared enchanted at Usagi; her voice had sent goosebumps crawling all over his smooth skin. Why did she have such power over him? He had dropped the mask for a split second, allowing Usagi to see something she hadn?t expected. A mild gasp managed to escape her clenching throat, causing him to put the shield back on. Mamoru?s eyes became a fiery rage; he gave her a glimpse of how he felt because he had been dumb. Stupid, stupid, stupid! ?That anger in his eyes... He hates me; he hates me; he hates me. No!? Usagi?s mind screamed mentally in anguish. He hates her! He must have found out about what she did! But how? Usagi was so careful at hiding any traceable signs of knowledge; he couldn?t have found out! Her heart seem to stop beating, shutting off any life support so she could just die and be out of this supreme torture. ?Usagi-san? Is that you?? came a low voice behind Mamoru?s leg. Two pink cones appeared and then two shining bright eyes followed next. Finally, after taking its sweet time, a figure of a small girl appeared next to Mamoru, holding his large hand in her small one. Usagi?s jaw dropped to the ground. Here was that girl who kicked her in the shin and landed on her swollen hand in the park yesterday holding her Mamo-chan?s hand! How dare she! Jealousy flamed in Usagi?s bosom, causing her breaths to come in short ragged gasps. Her eyes searched, pleaded with Mamoru?s, begging him to tell her that this wasn?t that little brat that caused such enormous pain the other day. She was answered by two stone cold irises. ?I have to go,? she said more to herself than too the duo in front of her shivering body. Usagi raced to her school, thanking that she had a place to hide and lick her excruciating wounds. *~* *~* *~* *~* Makoto and Ami were waiting patiently outside the double doors for Usagi, who was, at the moment, fifteen minutes late for school. The brunette tapped her fingers against the brick wall as the blue headed girl turned another page of her chemistry book. ?So do you think she blames herself for the other day?? Mako asked, breaking the silence that hung in the air. The view that she got of Usagi the other day disturbed her ruthlessly; she couldn?t bear to see her princess in any pain. ?I don?t know. Usagi could emotionally damage herself if she believed that she had hurt someone, even something that was anyway good. But I have to tell you something Mako-chan.? ?What?? came the reply. ?Well, since we don?t get that sort of battles like we did yesterday--? ?We NEVER get those battles like we did yesterday!? Ami brushed her skirt off annoyingly but sucked it down. ?Okay,? she said in a cracked voice. ?Since we NEVER get those battles like we did yesterday, I did some tests on the person that was left after Usagi did her final attack. And my results are certainly interesting.? Makoto eyed her friend suspiciously; Ami was never this... secretive. Normally, once she figures something out, she tells the whole group as soon as possible. ?And your results are...?? Ami smiled as she said, ?It wasn?t human. It was only a projection of a human being, a holograph Mako-chan! The whole thing was a fake!? *~* *~* *~* *~* Rubues paced furiously around his ship. His plan was a failure! That genius Mercury figured it all out. How could she! It was full-proof. But he failed, and failure was allowed with Wiseman and Prince Demando. ?I know what I can do,? he said. Reaching deep into his mind until he could connect with the mental link all the Dark Moon Family has to talk with one another, he mentally called Wiseman. ?What do you want Rubeus?? came a growl. ?Wiseman, I want you to do me a favor, that is, if you don?t mind.? ?And what would that be?? Wiseman was becoming annoyed, Rubeus could tell. He better make this quick or he could get into some deep trouble if he bothered his sensei. ?I want you to send the four sisters.? *~* *~* *~* *~* That?s it for now! I know it was short and sucked, but I ran out of time writing it! Sorry! Peace, Allison ^ ~
