~Emerald Eyes~ ~(PG) Chapter 2 By Callisto~ "You Shouldn?t Have Said That!" "Mina! You guys! I just saw Mamoru-san coming towards the parlor, and he?s talking with the cutest guy I?ve every seen!" Minako exclaimed as burst through the doors of the Crown Fruits parlor and ran over to the booth where Usagi, Makoto, Rei and Ami were sitting. "Mamo-chan is coming!" Usagi cried. "A cute guy!" Rei cried. "Does he look like my Senpai?!?" Makoto asked. "Please, not so loud! I?m trying to study. Yesterday I got an A- on my math test, if this keeps up, my grades will really go down!" Ami pleaded, pointing at her textbook. "Ami-Chan! You have perfect grades!" The girls all yelled. Just then the door opened and Mamoru walked in. When they saw him come in, Minako, Makoto and Rei quickly hid behind the back of the booth, peaking over the side. "Mamo-Chan!" Usagi exclaimed as she jumped out of the booth and into Mamoru?s arms. "Hi, Usako!" Mamoru smiled as he hugged her. Suddenly, another young man walked through the door behind Mamoru. He was tall with blond hair, and looked about the same age as Mamoru. "Mamoru-Kun?" he said as he walked in, looking for Mamoru. "There he is!" Minako cried in a love struck daze. "That?s Him!" "Wow!" Rei cried joining in Minako?s fantasy. "He doesn?t look like my Senpai!" Makoto said, unimpressed. Rei and Minako instantaneously snapped out of their dream world. "Mako-chan... are you OK?" Minako asked, sounding worried. "Yea, you think every guy looks like your Senpai!" Rei said. "I?m fine." Mako answered, a bit puzzled. Minako looked back at the door, "Hey! Where?d he go?!?" She cried. The others immediately turned around to see where he was, but he was gone. As they sat looking at the door, Usagi had lead Mamoru and his friend to their booth to sit down. Confused as to what they were doing, Mamoru?s friend tapped Makoto on the shoulder. She jumped back and screamed, causing Minako, and Rei to do the same. "What were you looking at?" He asked smiling. "Nothing!" Makoto said, embarrassed, as Minako and Rei returned to their dreamy state. Mako quickly picked up her hamburger and began eating it very quickly, not looking at anyone. "Mamo-chan, who is your friend? Usagi asked him as they sat down. "Hiyama Shin." The blonde haired man replied. He was Mamoru?s age, and very tall. "We are in the same math class. He moved here a few weeks ago. He?s been wanting to meet you Usako, I?ve told him a lot about you." Mamoru continued. She giggled, "I?m Tsukino Usagi! Hello." But Shin did not answer. "Shin? Shin?" Usagi urged. Then Makoto glanced up from her meal and her eye caught Shin?s. Shin snapped back into reality and Makoto quickly glanced down again. "Oh, Hello. It?s nice to meet you Usagi. Who are your friends." Shin questioned. "This is Mizuno Ami, Aino Minako, Hino Rei, and Kino Makoto." Said Usagi, pointing them out to Shin. "Hi!" Minako, Rei and Ami said slowly and dreamily. "Hi." Makoto said, then quickly returned to her hamburger. "Shin is studying to be a veteranarian." Mamoru told them. "Really!" Cried Minako. "I just love animals! See here?s my cat, Artemis!" She excitedly tossed a sleeping Artemis across the table at Shin. But Shin wasn?t paying attention, and Minako had thrown too hard, so Artemis went sailing over the back of the booth and onto the floor with a crash. "Sorry, Artemis!" Minako said laughing. "Minako-chan! You must be kidding! We all know that I love animals more than anyone else in the world!" Rei said melodramatically. "What?s that supposed to mean? I have a pet cat!" She scooped artemis up off the floor and shook him around in front of Rei. "You don?t have any pets at all!" Minako yelled back at Rei. "I have a lot of birds!" Rei yelled back. "Those wild birds don?t count!!" Minako screamed, about to explode. "Can you try to keep it down...?" Mamoru pleaded, his face bright red. "Rei-chan, Minako-chan... You both turned down a kitten when I wanted you to help me find them homes... remember?" Usagi explained. "Usagi-chan! Leave this to us, you have Mamoru-san!" They both yelled at Usagi, who began to laugh. Then it was quiet and they all turned to Shin, who wasn?t paying the least bit of attention to them. His eyes were fixed on Makoto who was sitting across the table now sipping on a soda. "Shin... Shin... SHIN!" Rei tried to get his attention. "Oh, I?m sorry were you saying something to me?" Shin said as he snapped out of his daze. "Shin, would you like to go on a walk in the park with me, its a beautiful day outside?" Rei asked him, leaning towards him. "Uh, no thanks. I...I?m really pretty busy!" He hopped out of the booth and Rei, losing her balance, tumbled head first onto the floor. Minako immediatly jumped up and said," That?s right! He can?t go with you Rei-chan, he?s going to be too busy going with me!" With this comment she burst into hyserical laughter at Rei. "M-Minako-Chan..." Rei grumbled her name as if it hurt to say it. Minako looked down to find that she was standing on Rei?s head. Minako stooped down to Rei and asked if she was alright. "No Minako-Chan, I?m not alright!" Rei screamed. "Hey, it's not my fault you?re on the floor!" Minako yelled back. "I, I have to go..." Makoto said softly. When she stood up everyone noticed how pale her face was, and how her hands were shaking. She put her hand on her head and said, "I?m not feeling very good." "Mako-chan?" Usagi asked becoming concerned. "Are you OK?" "I?ll be fine, Usagi-chan." She said and smiled as best she could. She closed her eyes for a moment and saw an image of the little girl again. It hurt her head, and made her weak. She then turned to leave the now very quiet group. "Well with all that food you ate it?s no wonder you don?t feel well!" Shin joked, trying to lighten the mood. Makoto stopped dead in her tracks, and everyone turned to Shin in terror. "Shi-Shin! You shouldn?t have said that!" Usagi warned. "You picked the wrong girl to say that to!" Minako said warily. "Yea!" Rei and Ami replied. "You?re going to learn it the hard way!" Mamoru said holding his neck, remembering when Makoto had gotten mad and strangled him. Makoto turned around, her piercing green eyes glaring. She blinked and when she opened them again, the anger had melted to sadness. She turned and ran out the door, Usagi calling after her. Usagi was about to get up and follow her when Mamoru put his hand on hers," I think you should let her be alone for a while." Reluctantly Usagi sat back down. "So Shin, want to go now?" Rei asked him jumping up from the floor. "Yes let?s go!" Minako chimed in. "Maybe another day, I?ve got to be going too... Goodbye everyone, nice meeting you! Bye Mamoru-kun!" Shin shot out of the door as quickly as he could, just in time to see Makoto disappear around the corner.
