Title: Yours for all eternality Author: Henra Rated: G E-mail: HenMcg@goplay.com Part 4 Hello, hello, hello, hello! A big thanks for all the people who have e-mailed me. And as for who's going to win—(Mamoru or Seiya) I'm still not sure about that yet. (Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you right NOW ^.^) Bet you are really exasperated with me—but it's not my fault! From all the e-mails I've received so far, between Mamoru and Seiya it's 50/50, they have the equal fans! How am I suppose to decide on THAT? Anyway, here's part four. Oh, and just one more thing: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE SAILOR MOON CHARACTERS! Part 4 #~~~~~~~# Usagi stared at the stars in the sky through her window. She sighed. *Mamo-chan and I are destined to be together, right? Oh, I know that he loves me very, very much. But, will he still loves me that much if I tell him that Seiya-chan kissed me? And that I didn't pull away, plus I liked it?* Usagi sighed again. Luna, half-asleep, turned to look at Usagi with sleepy eyes. "Usagi. . .what are you doing? It's 10:32 now, you have school tomorrow. Quick, get in your bed now." Usagi turned from the window, walked toward Luna, and sits with her on the bed. "I know, Luna. I'll be asleep as soon as I lie down, trust me on that one." "I knew that a long, long time ago." "Hmm-mm." "Usagi. . ." Luna stared at her, "what are you thinking about?" "Mamo-chan. . . . . .and Seiya-chan." "Oh. By the way, how did the talk I told you to have with Seiya and Mamoru went the other day?" Luna asked. "I thought I told everyone what happened at Rei's shrine. . .oh, that's right, you and Artemis went to somewhere TOGETHER." Usagi teased. Luna looked down for just a second, then looked up again. "How did it go?" "Well, I didn't go to Mamo-chan's apartment because what happened at Seiya-chan's made me came back immediately. Luna, do you have any idea what happened? Just take a guess." "I don't want to guess, " Luna yawned, slowly closing her eyes, she murmurs, "I don't want to know. I just want to sleep right now." "Seiya-chan kissed me." Usagi told the sleeping cat. Luna's eyes popped open. "What???" "He did. I didn't kiss him back, of course. But, I didn't pull away, either. And you know what the horrible thing is, Luna? I actually liked having Seiya's lips on mine!" Luna looked at Usagi straight in the eyes. "What's so horrible about liking it?" Usagi stared at Luna blankly. "I-I don't know. . .but it must be horrible since I have a boyfriend like Mamo-chan!" "Oh, quit making yourself sound like a murder or something. Look, it's not your fault that Mamoru and Seiya are both very attracted to you. After all," Luna added very quietly, "you are quite beautiful, caring, and sweet, and. . .is a very delightful girl." Usagi stared at Luna in surprise. "Gee, thanks, Luna. It means a lot." "Yeah. Now, come on, go to sleep already." Luna closed her eyes once again. "I need to tell Mamo-chan what happened with me and Seiya-chan." Usagi said firmly. Luna's eyes popped open again. "You sure about that? I mean, I never thought you would even have the courage of thinking about something like that, rather talks about it." "OH, Luna, I grown up, you know? I need to tell Mamo-chan as soon as possible—I wonder if I can see him tomorrow. . ." "I don't care if you can see him or not tomorrow, all I care about right now is to get some sleep—I need the strength to wake you up tomorrow morning." Luna closed her eyes once more. Usagi laughed softly and turned off the lights. "Night, Luna." "Night, Usagi." #~~~~~~~# "What? You are actually going to tell Mamoru-san?" asked Makoto. "Yes." Usagi said calmly, although her heart was beating so fast that it probably can outrun an airplane. "But, don't you think that he'll yell at you? I mean, when he gets jealous big time, Usagi-chan. . . . . .he can rip people apart." "I know. But I'm ready for whatever happens." "Usagi-chan. . . . .did you talk to Seiya-san yet today?" asked Ami for the first time. "No. . .why?" "Well, when I saw him with Taiki-san and Yaten-san today, he seemed pretty bummed out." Usagi became alarmed. "What happened? Is he alright?" "I think he's alright, Usagi-chan. . .physically. Emotionally, I think he's not okay." "Did anything happened?" "I think he was glum because of YOU." Ami looked at Usagi. "ME? Why me? How do you know?" "Because when I was passing by them, I heard a small cry of 'Odango'." "What did I do?" Usagi looked at Ami, puzzled. "How am I suppose to know if you don't even know?" "I think I'll try to find him and talk to him." "That's a good idea. We'll see you later." Makoto said, and walked away with Ami. Usagi glanced around her. *Nope, no Seiya there, no Seiya there, and no Seiya there. Waaaait a minute. What's that crowd of girls cuddling together for? Seiya, of course!* Usagi made herself through the crowd of girls, "Excuse me, thank you, ouch, excuse me, thank you, excuse me." Seiya saw Usagi waving her two hands in the air, and a sad expression spread across his face. Usagi eyed Seiya first, then signaled with her head to tell him go meet her at the corner. More girls were coming, so Usagi backed out of the crowd and walked to the corner of the hall, hoping that Seiya got her signal. Seiya did. He pushed and shoved out of the crowd, then walked impatiently to Usagi by the corner. He tried his very best not to cry again. Seiya put on the brightest smile he could manage, and greeted Usagi. "What's up, Usagi?" Usagi opened her mouth to speak then closed it again. Usagi looked at Seiya for a minute, then speaks, "Um, I-I, well, Seiya-chan, I didn't tell Mamo-chan yet." "What? Why?" Seiya asked. Then as he remembered what happened yesterday. . .*So Mamoru-kun don't know that I kissed Usa.* "I don't know why, okay? It's just. . .something happened when I was about to tell Mamo-chan, after that, I just couldn't bring myself to tell him that." Usagi looked away. *I know what happened, Usa. . .I saw.* Seiya thought sadly. "Anyway, how are you doing, Seiya-chan?" Usagi asked, turning her eyes fixed on Seiya's. "I'm. . .uh, fine, thanks for your concern, Usagi." Usagi couldn't stand it anymore. "Usagi? Where did the nicknames go, Seiya-chan? Now I know something's wrong." Seiya sighed. "Nothing is wrong, okay? Now if you don't have anything else to say, I'm going to go." "I. . .I—" Usagi hesitated, not knowing herself what she was going to say. "Fine. I'm going to go," said Seiya coldly. He began to walk away. Usagi stood in front of him, blocking his way. "No, I won't let you go until you tell me what's wrong and I know that something is wrong." Seiya stared at Usagi's worried face, and could feel himself giving in. He could only hear himself whisper, "I saw. . ." "You saw what, Seiya-chan?" asked Usagi softly. "I saw you and Mamoru yesterday. . ." Seiya said, feeling tears coming to his eyes once more. *Please, not again.* "Oh, " Usagi lowered her head a little. "Hmm. Well, I guess I'd better go now," said Seiya again. He walked away once more, before Usagi could see his tears. This time, Usagi let her eyes travel with him as he walked away from her, she didn't want to think about what he was feeling at that moment. *I have to tell Mamo-chan before any more painful things happen. . .to him, to Seiya, and to me.* With that thought in mind, Usagi walked toward her classroom. #~~~~~~~# "Nope, not this one, and. . .nope, not this one, either," murmured Mamoru as he was trying to pick out a book at a book store. *They are all too easy—and some too hard. None of them is right.* Mamoru sighed. *How come I got a feeling that something I won't like is going to happen? Someone is going to tell me something. . . . . . .* #~~~~~~~# Usagi got home, threw her suitcase over on her bed, with a, "Mom, I'm going to someone's apartment!" she left with a slam of door. Usagi walked down the street, deeply in thought. *So, how am I going to start the stuff with Mamo-chan? 'Hi, Mamo-chan, I have something to tell you. Seiya kissed me, and I liked it?' NO! Not like that! How do I even begin the whole thing?* Usagi stopped walking, and looked up at the sky. *The sky's so blue today. . .so beautiful, Oh, Mamo-chan will be shattered when he hears me telling him about the kiss. It will wreck his whole day. And I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to do that. But—the kiss is already been done, and. . .I need to tell Mamo-chan. Courage, Tsukino Usagi.* Then Usagi began to walk again. . . . . . .towards Mamoru's apartment. Usagi's heart was beating so hard she was afraid it will burst. *Calm, collected. . .oh, that's something I'll never be!* Usagi picked up her speed. *The sooner I tell Mamo-chan, probably the better.* Usagi ran. After a while, she came to a halt stop. Usagi had reached Mamoru's apartment. Her heart pounded violently, and it was not because she ran, either. *Okay, Usagi, just knock on the door, Mamo-chan will answer it, you give him a hug, and then. . .you can tell him what you came to tell him for. After you told him, he'll forgive you, and you kiss, then everything's all right again.* Usagi clutched her stomach. *Oh, Tsukino Usagi, you are dreaming! There's no way in the world that Mamo-chan's going to forgive you after you told him what happened. . .oh, I think I'm going to be sick. . .well, here it goes.* Usagi took a deep breath and then rang the doorbell. No answer. Usagi frowned and rang again. Still no answer. Usagi rang and rang. . .and finally gave up. *Oh, Mamo-chan, where are you? I've worked up my courage and came here to tell you about something that could wreck your day—and you are not home! Oh, Mamo-chan, where are you?* Usagi paused for a minute, thinking whether or not she should rang the doorbell once more or just go. She looked at the door, and then after a few seconds of hesitation, Usagi turned to go. When she was on the street again, Usagi felt both relieved and worried. *Okay, so I don't have to tell him today. . . . . .but, I have to tell him someday. Where's Mamo-chan, anyway?* #~~~~~~~# "I'll take these three books, please," said Mamoru to the cashier. "That'll be 24." Mamoru gave him the money, took his books, and left the store. Mamoru breathed in the fresh air. *Hmm, what a beautiful day. . .* Mamoru looked at his watch. *Only 5:38. I could ask Usako out to the park.* Mamoru grinned. He turned and walked toward the direction of Usagi's house. #~~~~~~~# Usagi walked slowly home. *Where could Mamo-chan be? Probably at the park or something. The park!!! Yeah, why didn't I think of that? I'm probably going to find him there!* With that, Usagi turned and ran. *Just hope that Mamo-chan is there. . .but, I STILL don't know what to say to him. Oh, well, at least I can have some time to think about it on my way over to the park.* #~~~~~~~# "Usako is not home?" Mamoru asked Ikuko. Ikuko shook her head, "Sorry, Mamoru-san, Usagi is not home right now. . ." "Do you know where she went?" "No. . .but she did mention that she was going to someone's apartment." "Apartment?" Mamoru echoed. Then he lowered his head, thinking to himself, *Hmm, the only friends that Usako have that live in apartments are Makoto-san, Haruka-san, Setsuna-san, Michiru-san, and Hotaru-san. . .I don't think the outer senshi is home around this hour. . .probably driving around in Haruka's car, so that leaves Makoto-san—but her apartment is way over on the other side of the city, I don't think Usako can walk over there. So, who's apartment Usako is going to? WAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE. Chiba Mamoru, what kind of place YOU live in? APARTMENT, YOU BAKA! You are so stupid! Usako is going over to YOUR apartment!* "Mamoru?" Ikuko asked. "Huh? Oh, gomen, I was distracted. . .um, you know what, I think I'd better go—see you some other time!" Mamoru smiled at Ikuko, then walked away. Ikuko stared at the back of Mamoru, smiled to herself. #~~~~~~~# *Hmm, it looks like Mamo-chan is not in the park. . .well, anyway, that's not exactly important compare to the fact that I know what I'm going to say to him now. OH, I just hope that I can say this before my knees go weak.* Usagi looked around the park once more, then starts to move her feet again. *Oh well, what the heck, I'll go to Mamo-chan's apartment again, to check if he got home when I was walking around.* Usagi stopped walking at a bush of roses. *Beautiful. . .* Usagi smiled gently, then walked away with a hint of nervousness on her face. #~~~~~~~# *Usako, please don't go away. . .I just hope that I'm not too late—Usako, please be there.* Mamoru walked a little bit faster. Just when he was about to turn at a corner, Mamoru spotted a familiar figure running this way. *Usako!!!!* he thought happily. "Hi, Usako!!!" Mamoru yelled, waving a hand in the air. Usagi stopped for a minute, recognizing the voice anywhere. "Mamo-chan! Hi!" she ran toward him. Mamoru's face burst into a happy smile, he ran toward Usagi, his arms outstretched. Usagi crashed into Mamoru's arms full speed, but Mamoru held still. "Mamo-chan, I went looking for you. . .I came to your apartment two times already. Where were you?" asked Usagi, lifting her head up to see Mamoru's face. Mamoru smiled. "I went looking for YOU!" "You did?" "Yeah, when I was walking home from the bookstore, I realized that it's a BEAUTFUL day today, and so, I thought I would take you to the park." "Well, since I'm here, aren't you going to invite me to go in your apartment?" Usagi pointed a finger at Mamoru. Mamoru gasped slightly. "Gomen, my mistake, come, madam." Usagi plopped herself down on the sofa. *Hmm, it's leather, too, so how come it feels a little bit colder than Seiya-chan's?* "Usako, here, it's a cup of orange juice, it's 100% natural." Mamoru put down the cup on the table in front of Usagi. "100% natural??? That means no sugarsweet." Usagi made a face, but she drank it. *Weird. . .I thought that Mamo-chan knew that I hate 100% natural juices. . .I thought I told him already. But, I guess I didn't. But he should know. . .* "Okay, Usako, now why don't you tell me why were you looking for me." Mamoru smiled at Usagi. Usagi gulped. "Um, hey, Mamo-chan, but YOU need to tell me why you were looking for me!" Mamoru laughed. "Usako, I told you, remember? I was looking for you because I thought I could take you to the park!!!" Usagi smiled sheepishly. "Hehe, I guess I forgot." "Yeah, I think you did. Now, aren't you going to spill the beans?" "Mamo-chan, I—" Usagi began. The phone rang. Mamoru shook his head. "Sorry, Usako. Let me get the phone first." Usagi nodded while breathing a sigh of relief. *Whew, okay, um, oh gosh, please, please, please, do not let Mamo-chan be angry! OH, who am I kidding?* After a while, Mamoru came back and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Usako. NOW, tell me." Usagi sighed deeply. "Mamo-chanSeiya-chankissedmeonTuesdayandwhenhedidIdidn'tmoveaway." Mamoru chuckled. "What??? Usako, I didn't understand one word. Say it slowly again one more time, please?" Usagi looked up and saw Mamoru's smiling face. She knew that the face would disappear in a few seconds. Usagi breathed in, and breathed out. She sighed. She lowered her head, afraid to look into Mamoru's eyes. Usagi said it again. "Mamo-chan, Seiya-chan kissed me on Tuesday and when he did. . . . . . I didn't move away. . . . . .I let him kissed me, Mamo-chan." Usagi breathed a sigh of relief after she said it, but didn't dare to look up. She was afraid to see Mamoru's reaction. __________________________________________________________________________ What do you think Mamoru's reaction should be? E-mail me!!!
