Sometimes you think you have the perfect life...

“Dr. Chiba, please report to the reception desk. I repeat, Dr. Chiba, please report to the reception desk. Thank you.” The intercom blasts through the sterile hallways of the huge hospital. Mamoru walks up to the counter while adjusting his reading glasses. Looking very professional in his white coat, white pants, white gloves, and black shoes. “I have all your files right here. They should be in order but you might want to check again.”

“Thanks.” Mamoru says then turns to go back to the Cardiac Ward.

Usagi rests her elbows on the counter, getting a bit of time to think to herself, which is extremely rare when in a hospital. Even if you’re only volunteering. She had originally volunteered for the job as a reception shadow to be closer to Mamoru, but she had slowly groan to actually like it. It seemed as if it was giving her more training for when she would become Queen of Crystal Tokyo.

Picking up a couple pale folders that had been cushioning her elbows, she looks through them with slight curiosity. They’re résumés and profiles. ~Kou, Seiya. Kou, Taiki. And Kou, Yaten? Are these guys brothers?~ She asks herself reading on. She soon gets her answer as she sees a light shadow cascade over the counter.

“Excuse me Miss... Tsukino, where's the Cardiac Ward?” A man asks with a smooth voice.

She looks up to see a very handsome yet, beautiful man with long, jet black hair and deep mid-night blue eyes; wearing the same attire as Mamoru. “May I have your name please?” She asks, trying not to stutter.

“Kou, Seiya.”

Flipping through the folder she had just coasted through, she finds his picture along with his resume and nods to herself. “Ah, yes! One of the new male-nurses. Go down that hall and go into the second door on your left. Dr. Chiba is waiting.” She says while pointing to a white hall on the far right.

“Thank you.” He says as he takes off down the white hall.

Usagi watches him go down the hall, trying not to drool all over her desk. She is quickly greeted by another, taller shadow. Quickly composing herself, she looks up to meet violet eyes starring down at her with a somber expression.

“Excuse me, I'm Kou, Taiki and I'm wondering where the Neurology ward is.” Taiki asks.

She nods, looking at his long brown hair tied back tightly then turns around to get his file and type him and Seiya up on her computer. “Go down that blue hall until you see the last door, Dr. Mizuno is waiting.” Usagi says pointing to a blue hall on the right again. She looks up at the tall man with glitter in her eyes. ~Violet eyes, long brown hair, nice frame. And he looks so hot in blue.~ She thinks to herself while gnawing on her lip.

“Thanks a lot.” Taiki says as he waves and walks down the blue hall. She only nods and waves back, her eyes slightly dazed. Finally snapping out of it, she looks at the clock and groans, seeing that it's only 11:00 a.m.

“Excuse me, where's Pediatrics?” A short man with light green eyes and long, silver hair asks.

Looking up with a slight start, having not noticed the third shadow, she turns in her chair, opening that same folder that‘s seem is slowly being worn. “Your name please?” Usagi asks, trying not to giggle at his attire.

“Kou, Yaten.”

Pulling out the final paper-clipped packet, she hands it to him, “Ok, the last of the new comers, go down that baby pink hall and it's all right in front of you, Miss Aino is waiting for you. She’s shadowing for Dr. Ichihara. Have fun.” Usagi says with a smile.

“Gee, thanks.” Yaten says in a sarcastic voice then walks down the hall.

Usagi watches him walk down the hall with a fast pace. Dreaming over those eyes of his. She giggles at his attire once again. He’s fashioning an orange coat and pants with green squiggles all over it and purple shoes.

The red clock finally strikes 11:30 a.m. and Usagi clocks out and heads toward the lunchroom with a gurgling belly.

They all sit at the same table as Makoto hands them their lunches. She’s been working at the Hospital for almost two years now as head cook while paying for college to become a real chef.
Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten sit at a different table. Not wanting any company but their own.

“The receptionist is cute.” Seiya says while eyeing her.

“Yeah, she was practically drooling over you.” Taiki says with a grin.

“The girl I'm working with is a dig-bat, but cute.” Yaten says.

Taiki simply nods.

“Think we should join them?” Yaten asks.

“No, we have other things to talk about.” Seiya says calmly.

“Would you guys like a lunch?” Makoto asks as she walks toward them.

“Yes please, a hamburger would be nice. With a glass of ice water please” Seiya says.

“Sushi and some tea please.” Taiki says. Yaten nods his head in agreement to Taiki’s request.

Makoto nods while scribbling it all down on her notepad as if she worked at a restaurant then walks off to go get it.

Makoto walks back out five minutes later with three plates of food stacked up on her left arm and a tray of drinks on her right hand. She sets the plates down with a smile then walks back over to the other table to eat her own lunch. A couple of the girls, mostly Rei, Minako and Makoto start going into giggle fits over the new nurses. Daydreaming heavily. Looking up at the clock, they all start crumpling milk cartons up and throwing everything back on their trays for pick up except for Usagi, who is of course working her food, inhaling it like air so as not to be late for clock in.

Feeling as if the day couldn’t trudge on any slower, the clock finally strikes five o’clock. A small line forms for clock out. Surprisingly in a swish of strange karma, they all get off at the same time. Well... for the volunteers such as Usagi and Rei, they’re able to stay as long as they wish but decide to leave around five so as to have some time to themselves before it’s to late in the evening. Usagi, more so to be with Mamoru. The hospital has so many doctors and nurses, most of them get to have schedules instead of running in and out at all hours of the day and night.

Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten, having already clocked out first don’t even look back as they walk out the automatic doors, heading to their new apartment.

Ami offers Usagi a ride since the girls carpool to and from work but she decides to ride with Mamoru to his apartment so he can get ready for his night school then drop her off.

When they get to the apartment, Usagi lies down on the sofa, completely exhausted. Mamoru comes back out in some nice formal clothes and looks at the clock. “Come on, time to take you home.” He helps Usagi up, bringing her into a nice, warm embrace and giving her a long, lingering kiss on her pink lips. Grabbing his case for class, he walks out the door, locking it behind him then down to his car.

When they reach her apartment, Usagi invites him in for a piece of cake her mom baked the other night which he happily agrees to. Out of force of habit, he grabs his case and walks in with it, setting it on the living room floor as he waits for his treat.

Usagi brings in two plates and sits down with Mamoru, leaning on him slightly as they watch a 15 minute cartoon on the TV.

Finally finishing the delicious chocolate cake, Mamoru gives Usagi a clean peck on the cheek before he walks out to his car and drives off. Usagi takes the plates and forks into the kitchen and tosses them in the sink then walks back into the living room and crashes on the couch. After about 10 minutes she sits up, noticing Mamoru has left his case. She quickly grabs the phone and tries his cell phone, but he has it turned off, so she calls up Haruka and Michiru’s place, knowing at least one of them would still be up, not wanting to disturb her sleeping parents.

She soon hears a small click on the other end and an endearing “Moshi moshi”.

“Haruka! Oh good! I’m glad you’re still up. I need you to give me a ride up to the college. Mamoru forgot his homework here.”

“Did you try his cell?”

Usagi nodded as she answered the question, as if Haruka could see her. “Yes, I did, he has it turned off.”

“Alright, meet me down in my car in a minute or so.” She said then hung up.

After hanging up, Usagi put her shoes back on her aching feet, grabbed Mamoru’s case and left the house once again, finding her way down six flights of stairs to the parking lot below. Haruka was already leaning against her car, waiting for the other blonde.

Hopping the in the car, they took off toward the college quickly. “Thanks so much Haruka. I hope his professor doesn’t get mad at me for disturbing his class.”

“I doubt he will Odango.” Haruka said as her hand left the stick-shift to rest on Usagi’s knee.

Arriving at the college, Usagi jumps out of the car and runs up the steps. Surprisingly, she hadn’t seen Mamoru’s car, but class was clearly in session. Knocking on the door, she watches through the small window as somebody opens it to let her in. She walks in, looking about at all the heads now turned toward her, and looks up to see the professor adjusting his glasses. He then looks down at his class roster. “Who are you? I haven’t seen you before.”

“Oh, I’m not a student, I’m here to give this to Chiba, Mamoru… he left it at my house and I know he needs it.”

“Chiba… Chiba… Ah! Yes, he never came to class.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“I mean that unless he’s invisible, he’s not in class. Now, could you please leave, I’m in the middle of teaching.”

Usagi nods and bows in respected apology. She walks out quickly, her fast pace breaking out into a run as she almost bulldozes her way into Haruka’s car.

“ ‘Dango? What’s wrong?”

“Mamoru’s not in class…” She says as if she’d just seen a ghost. “Where could he be? Oh, Haruka, do you think he could have crashed? Or been mugged?” She was beginning to upset herself. “Oh! What if his guts are splattered all over the pavement somewhere?!” Tears begin to waterfall down her reddened cheeks.

Haruka grabs her shoulders and shakes her. “Don’t think like that. Maybe he turned around and is now back at the complex looking for you and this case.”

Usagi nods to Haruka’s suggestion although her body still quakes with tremors of fear. Taking a quicker way to the apartment complex, they drive down a different road that Usagi’s only seen about maybe… 3 times in her entire life of living in the Juuban district. Her brows knit together. Wait… is that? No! It can’t be. But her suspicion is finally confirmed when she sees the hand-made bracelet she’d made for him a couple years ago in art class. It was originally supposed to be a necklace but it was too small, so he wore it as a bracelet but they soon found out that the twine she used to make it irritated his skin so he hung it on his rear-view mirror in his car. “Haruka stop. That’s Mamo-chan’s car.”

Coming to an easy halt, she keeps the car running as Usagi gets out of the sports car with the case and walks up to the house. She doesn’t know what to think as she knocks on the door. She soon sees her worst fear turned into truth as she hears a male voice, Mamoru’s voice, call out; “Hey! Did you order a pizza?” then answer the door… in just his boxers…

“Mam.. Mamoru? Are… are you playing strip poker with some friends? Is this a college party?” She was hoping he’d say yes. She had to ask these innocent questions, hoping the truth of the matter would be buried along with the reasoning portion of her mind.

Mamoru just stares at her blankly. Unable to form any words.

“You… left your case at my apartment…” She goes on, hoping that this nightmare will end shortly; it only gets worse.

“Oh Mamo… who’s at the door?” A lithe woman comes up behind Mamoru and swings her arms about his neck. She is only in her underwear as well… very lacy, see-through, black lingerie that leaves little to the imagination. She has long brown hair that stops at the base of her tailbone. Her eyes are a dark violet and her complex is tan.

“Mamo-chan…” She looks away, tears forming in her eyes, her shoulders beginning to bounce as the sobs start to rack her body. Her heart splitting in two and causing a very painful ach within her chest. “Here’s your bag..” She says in a loud whine then runs back toward Haruka.

Haruka watches her leader run back around the car, not being able to tell what’s wrong. Has he broken up with her? No, worse. Haruka looks back at the house and sees another woman practically hanging all over Usagi’s now former lover. She watches him run out of the house, catching Usagi by the wrist, trying to talk to her, to reason with her, all the while Usagi only cries, her knees becoming weak as she struggles to get away from him, not wanting to hear any excuses, not wanting to be near him at all.

Haruka gets out of her car at once, slamming the door behind her and walks up toward Mamoru. Pulling her fist back, she hauls off and punches him in the face, knocking him on his a**. Helping Usagi get back in the car, she glares at the shocked man still sitting on the ground, holding the side of his face, then gets into the car and speeds off, squealing the tires loudly in complete anger.

By the time they arrive back at the apartment complex, Usagi has calmed down and his now just staring… staring at nothing in particular and just being extremely quiet. Wiping tears away occasionally.

Stepping out of her car, she walks over and opens the passenger door, pulling Usagi out easily with her tan hand cuffed gently around the smaller’s upper arm. Coddling the broken doll close, she shuts the door and begins leading the Odango to the front door and up three flights of stairs. “Why don’t you stay the night, ‘dango.” She receives a small nod and sniffle before opening the door and walking into her apartment.

“Welcome back!” A cheery voice from the front room called. It belonged to that beautiful mermaid of the group, Michiru. She was sitting on the couch with Hotaru, watching the child slowly fall asleep in her arms. “You two took longer than I expected. Did you make a detour? Gas? Ooo! Did you get something sweet for me!” She giggles lightly and cranes her neck to look back at the two. Her expression changes when she sees theirs. “What’s wrong?” She asks with a gentle tone.

With a light pat to the younger one’s back, Haruka walks over to the rest of her family and leans down to whisper in her wife’s porcelain shell ear. Michiru nods lightly and moves Hotaru easily to the other side of couch before getting up and walking over to embrace the still sobbing bunny. “I don’t know what to say, Usagi… I can’t tell you that I understand or that I know how you feel. The only thing I can offer you are warm arms, a loving heart and a place to stay so you don’t have to be alone in your own apartment.” She tells the dainty blond with a soft, soothing voice and pets her with equally soft and soothing hands.

Picking up the dark firefly, Haruka takes the girl into her small, dark room and lies her on the bed. Pulling the sheets up, she kisses the girl on her forehead and walks back out, leaving the door open just slightly so they can hear if another nightmare should dare disturb her slumber. Walking back over to the two women, she finds that Usagi has finally busted and is now crying heavily into Michiru’s bosom. Moving into the room adjoining Hotaru’s, Haruka makes up Setsuna’s old bed for their guest to stay for the night. Walking back out once more, she sees that Usagi’s cries have finally silenced for the fact that she’s cried herself to sleep in Michiru’s arms. Picking her up gently, Haruka lays her easily on the newly made bed and kisses her forehead softly.

"She's so innocent, how could he treat her like that? How could he do that to her? Give her this false love. False sense of security and just shatter it right in front of her."

“He will pay dearly for this.” Haruka says in a stern, emotionless voice.

Michiru simply smiles lightly and tiptoes up to kiss her wife on the cheek then takes her arm and leads her to their room.

========================================================================

In the morning Hotaru is woken up by a knock at the door. "Hello." She says sleepily while opening the door.

"Hey Hotaru, is Usagi here?" Mamoru asks.

"No, I don't think so.” Hotaru asks.

"Oh ok. Thanks. Bye." Mamoru says as he walks away from the apartment.

"Who was that?" Michiru asks with a yawn in an aqua marine, see through robe and a really bad case of bed-head.

"It was Mamoru looking for Usagi." Hotaru answers.

"Really? He's lucky Haruka-Papa didn't answer the door." Michiru says while setting a bowl of cereal in front of Hotaru.

A couple minutes later, Usagi walks into the kitchen and starts to go through the refrigerator. She gets out two eggs and starts to cook them while popping some bread into the toaster. Michiru walks over to her and puts her arms around her shoulders. "Are you feeling better?"

"A little, but of course I'd feel better if Mamoru were castrated." Usagi grinds out through her teeth.

"Well, I don’t know about that... but you can stay as long as you want." Michiru says and then gives her a kiss on the cheek for reassurance.

"Thanks Michi." Usagi gets her breakfast and sits down and starts to eat. While she's eating she hears a loud groan and turns around to see Haruka in a gray sports bra and navy blue boxers rolled up at the top, stumbling into the kitchen while holding her head. "Morning sunshine." Usagi says sarcastically. Haruka gives her one look and flips her off. "Yeah, I love you too." She says with a smile. She gets done with her food and rinses her dishes.

"Usagi, give me a minute and I'll drive you to work." Haruka says with yawn.

Usagi nods as Haruka walks over to Michiru who is cooking her breakfast and wraps her arms around her. "Hey baby." Haruka says with a smile. Michiru leans her head back on Haruka's shoulder and kisses her. Haruka walks back into the bedroom and gets dressed as Usagi grabs the phone.

"Who're you calling at this hour?" Michiru asks.

"My mom. I'm sure she's worried that I didn't come home last night." The phone rings about four times before a male's voice answers on the other end.

"H-hello." The voice says groggily. "Shingo? Morning. Give me Mom, please." She listens as the phone switches hands and talks

After she hangs up, she sits down and starts to put on her make-up. Haruka comes back out in a white, button-up shirt with blue slacks and black shoes. She tucks her shirt into her slacks while waiting for Usagi.

Usagi packs her make-up back in it's holder. Haruka and Usagi say bye and head out.

When they arrive at the hospital Haruka takes a deep breath and turns toward Usagi. "Usagi, the only advice I can really offer is to just try not to think about it. Don’t talk to him about it. You don’t need your work and your personal lives getting involved with each other.” With that, she unlocks the door for the passenger side from her side. She reaches over and gives the bunny a loving hug, which is happily returned.

"Thanks for the ride Haruka. See you around 5:00 or 5:30." Usagi says while getting out of the car.

"Alright, see ya later Odango." Haruka says then drives off.

Usagi walks into the hospital and takes her seat. After a couple of minutes, Mamoru walks to the Reception desk. "Usagi, we need to talk."

"Not on work hours, you know the rules." She says, not looking up from her computer.

"Usako, this is more important than work."

"Not to me." She says in a stern voice, still not looking up. Mamoru's heart almost shatters when she says that. Usagi gets up to put some files in their folders when he walks into the Reception area and grabs her shoulders. "Mr. Chiba, you are not allowed in this area. Please remove your hands and leave." She says through her teeth.

"Please Usako, just listen. I never meant to! I was thinking with the wrong head.” He says almost embarrassed.

An old man walks up to the reception counter and clears his voice slightly, trying to get some attention. Mamoru grunts and lets go of Usagi then takes his folders and leaves.

A couple hours later around 11:30...
They walk into the lunch room and sit down at a round table with separate chairs instead of long benches.

"Are you feeling alright Usagi?” Minako queries.

Makoto comes out with a chocolate chip mega muffin with coffee for Usagi. "Thanks. And yes. I’m alright...”

Usagi eats her muffin slowly as she drinks her coffee with the same pace. She gets up to throw the muffin package and plastic coffee cup away in the recycle bin that's behind where the guys sit. She throws her garbage away and starts to walk back when she slips on a melted ice cube, falling right in Seiya’s lap. She looks at him and smiles with a deep flush spread across her cheeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woo! Usagi's gettin' it on!!" Rei shouts while waving her arms in the air. The other girls start to laugh, embarrassing poor Usagi further. She does a back-flip off of Seiya's lap and stands up. She puts her hands together and bows asking for forgiveness before running over to Rei beginning to pull her hair. Rei shoves her fingers up Usagi's nostrils and starts to yank.

Seiya is still in shock that he just had an angel on his lap. "Yo! Seiya!" Yaten says while snapping his fingers.

"Earth to Seiya!" Taiki shouts while waving his hand in front of him.

"All is forgiven but not forgotten." Seiya whispers to himself.

"Oh no, he has that look in his eyes again." Taiki says in a worried voice.

"Come on guys, settle down. This is a hospital!" Ami shouts.

The girls break apart, sticking their tongues out at each other as Usagi sits back down, still scowling at the raven-haired pyro.

The clock finally strikes 12:00 and it's time to go back to work. They all finish out the rest of the day and clock out right after.

The next week is hell for Mamoru. Usagi told the other girls what he had done to her and they now look at him with the same hateful eyes that Haruka does. He sits alone at lunch now, and sometimes doesn't even come. Usagi has kind of forgotten about him. She just doesn't think about him anymore which is kind of weird, normally she'd be thinking about him 24/7. Usagi's still staying at Haruka and Michiru's place, cause she doesn't feel safe anywhere else and Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten are getting to know the Doctors a little better.

Ami gets to work early this morning and is checking her mailbox. She sees a white rose and an envelope, she looks at it, it has no writing on it, just a heart sticker sealing it. Her eyes dilate when she reads the small card concealed inside.

Ami, please meet me in room 3B.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT THESE THINGS STOPPED WHEN SCHOOL WAS OUT!!!!" She shouts throughout the hospital.

Ami walks down the blue hall and cracks the door to 3B open just a bit, to see who her secret admirer is.

Taiki! No, it can't be! I thought...oh, I know. It's another joke. She thinks to herself. She opens the door and walks inside. "Nice joke, and the rose is a nice touch, can I go now?" She asks quite irritated while throwing the rose at Taiki. She rolls her eyes and turns around to walk out when Taiki stops her.

"What do you mean a joke, this is for real. I mean, the last few weeks I've spent with you have been nice and I was... wondering... if... you and me... could... go out sometime, perhaps?”

“I’ll think about it... I have a busy schedule.”

Taiki nods and hands her back the rose with a light smile.

The girls and guys spend the lunch break together. Getting to know each other better. Minako and Yaten sit close together, talking quietly. Sooner than they expect, 3 o’clock comes around and they all clock out.

At Haruka’s Apartment...
"Haruka, do you think I should go out with Seiya?" Usagi asks while walking in the apartment.

"Well I think...." Haruka is cut off by Michiru's hand.

"Your asking the wrong person hunny." Michiru says.

"Well, what do you think?" Usagi asks.

"I think that it's your choice that you have to make." Michiru says while taking her hand off of Haruka's mouth.

The next day, Seiya walks in and starts heading for his mailbox to see if he has anything, when Usagi catches him. "Seiya!" He swiftly turns around and begins walking toward the source of the sound. Usagi agrees to his date perposle soundly with a smile. Seiya looks at her for a second and grins widely. He nods her goodbye then walks back to his mailbox.

Everybody spends the lunch together, except for Mamoru who doesn't eat. “Hey guys, since we're all off tomorrow, I'm going to be having a pool party. Come around one and stay as long as you like." Ami says softly but loud enough for everybody to hear. They all nod with a light smile, accepting the invite.

The next day, Makoto is the first to arrive with Ken. Her and Ami start to talk as the others arrive around the same time. Taiki walks over to Ami and smiles lightly, starting up a nice, easy conversation; eventually working the dating question into it which Ami finally accepts. Rei walks in with Yuuichiru. Usagi with Seiya and Minako with Yaten.

After about 30 minutes, everybody is settled in. Ami is sitting at a corner of the pool playing with Taiki's hair who is in the pool, standing in front of her. Yaten is sitting on a lawn chair with Minako sitting on top of him sideways. Rei is sitting the same way on Yuuichiru. Makoto and Ken are sitting beside each other on a beach towel. And Usagi and Seiya are in the pool. "HEY ODANGO!!!" Everybody turns to see Haruka and Michiru walking in with Hotaru in the middle. Haruka has a navy blue, two piece suit with low cut, faded blue jeans and a white, see-through shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up. Hotaru is wearing a purple, one piece suit with black firefly's all over it. Michiru is wearing a aqua marine, two piece suit with frade, daisy duke jeans over it.

Seiya has black swim trunks, Yaten has light green swim trunks and Taiki has blue swim trunks. Usagi has a white, two piece with red roses on it. Ami has a blue, two piece with ruffles on it. Rei has a strapless, red, two piece on that ties in the front. Makoto has on a green, two piece with her name embroidered on the front of her top. And Minako has a see-through, orange, two-piece on that has a red heart on her bottom with the words 'Kiss Me!' embroidered on it.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! IT'S..IT'S...THE 3 LIGHTS!!!!!!" Hotaru screams at the top of her lungs. The guys look at each other then back at the kid. Hotaru almost faints at seeing her all time favorite band. Seiya gets out of the pool and walks over to Hotaru. He kneels in front of her and puts his arm around her.

"Listen kid, we're not the 3 Lights. Not anymore." Hotaru is stunned that Seiya is actually talking to her and has his arm around her.

"Why did you guys quit?" Hotaru manages to say.

"We're not as good as we thought." Seiya says.

"Yes you are!! Almost every girl around the world loves you guys."

"Well, not enough I guess." Seiya says while thinking of the Princess. "I have an idea. Do you have any of our CD's?" Seiya asks.

"No. By the time I had the money to buy one, they had already been pulled off the shelf." She says a little sad.

"Well squirt, I'm going to do you a favor. I'm going to go to our house and get you all the merchandise we've ever had out." He says with a smile, then kisses her on the cheek. Hotaru's eyes dilate. She starts to breath heavily then faints. Seiya catches her as Michiru walks over and picks Hotaru up.

"Sorry, I have that affect on girls." Seiya says with a cheesy grin.

"It's not you Seiya, it's your breath, it's kickin'." Yaten says with a laugh. Seiya stands up and gives him the 'shove it' sign.

"Hey! Are you going to go get the Makoto for the kid?" Taiki asks.

"Yeah. Come on Usagi." She gets out of the pool and goes with Seiya to his black car, jumps in and they take off. About a minute or 2 after they've left, Hotaru wakes up and starts to ask the lights questions.

"OK!!! I'm bored!!" Makoto yells. "Will somebody play chicken with me?!"

"You know I don't go in the water." Rei says.

"Ok. Come on Minako." Makoto pleads.

"I don't want to play." Minako whines while leaning on Yaten.

"Ami! Please play!" Makoto pleads.

"What about Michiru?" Ami asks.

"Sorry, we have to keep and eye on Hotaru."

"Well..." Ami starts.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Makoto says eagerly. Ami hops on Taiki's shoulders and Makoto on Ken's. "The stipulations are, if ya loose, ya loose your top!" Makoto says.

"Ooo, I hope Makoto looses." Haruka says jokingly.

"No way!!!" Ami yells.

"To late, you've already accepted the challenge." Makoto says with a cheesy grin. The guys walk toward each other with the girls ready.

"Ready! Set! Go!" Haruka yells. The girls start to go at it. Ami is doing better then expected. About 3 minutes into the game, Ami's arms start to give and she falls off. The brown haired woman starts to laugh.

"Off with the top!" Makoto yells as Ami surfaces. She slowly starts to unbuckle her top which has buckles like a bra, she throws it out of the pool and ducks under the water with her hands over her breasts.

"WOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!" Haruka screams. Ami blushes and flashes her. "Thank you God!" Haruka says while Michiru hits her upside the head again. "Ow! Will you stop that!" Haruka says.

"No, it's to fun." Michiru says with a smile.

"FUN! I'll show you fun." Haruka says. Haruka stands up, picks Michiru up in one arm, and heads toward the pool.

"Haruka! Put me down! What are you doing?!" Michiru yells as she struggles to get down.

"GO HARUKA!!" Makoto yells.

"You like water so much, then have fun!!" Haruka says as she tosses Michiru into her own wave. Michiru surfaces to see a bent over laughing Haruka.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!" Michiru shouts as she climbs out.

Usagi and Seiya finally arrive at their destination. "We live in the penthouse sweet at the top." Usagi notices, this is the same apartment building that she's 'living' in with Haruka and Michiru. But it's not the same floor. She realizes that they're going to the same floor where Mamoru lives. As they enter the building and into the elevator, Usagi grabs Seiya's arm and holds on tight. They exit the elevator and start walking toward the sweet when Mamoru sees Usagi. He grabs her and starts to french kiss her. At first she gives in, then raises her hand and slaps the taste out his mouth. Seiya looks at the two in shock as Usagi becomes furious. She uses all her strength and tosses him back into the far wall "HOW COULD YOU!!! AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE TO ME!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!!" As Usagi screams her lungs out, her eyes turn completely black and her hair starts to fly upward trying to turn silver. Seiya stands there in complete shock unable to move. "Answer me this Endymion! If you can't protect me from yourself, how are you going to protect Earth?! Think about that!" She whispers to him with hateful eyes, making sure Seiya didn't hear. She slaps him across the face then walks over to Seiya and leans on him. He gathers himself and braces her while glaring at Mamoru. They walk to the sweet still kind of confused.

He sits down on the sofa with Usagi next to him. "Thank you." She says, then looks at the locket.

"What was all that about?!" He asks a little scared. She tells him what happened as he holds her close.

"Well, you had better get Hotaru's Makoto.” Seiya gets up and walks into the 'junk-room' where at least two pieces of merchandise they've ever had is there. He and Usagi start to gather things up.

Back at Ami's, Michiru is chasing down Haruka, she finally catches the fast blonde and pulls her down, sitting on top of her. "Now, for your punishment." Michiru says with a smile, then starts to kiss Haruka. Slowly probing Haruka's lips with her tongue.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!!" A woman's voice comes from the house.

"MOMMY!!! How are you?!" Ami asks with a surprised tone as she gets out of the pool. Ami and her mom start to fight.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Ami's mom demands. "Mommy, I'm having a pool party."

"I know that! But why are you topless?" Mom asks.

"It was a dare, Mom. What do you expect? A pool party gets a little crazy at times."

"Well, I didn't expect to see my daughter flying through the air topless. And what are they doing here?" Mom asks while pointing to Haruka and Michiru who are still kissing.

"I invited them, Mom. They're me friends."

"Well, I want them gone."

"Mom, you can't just kick them out!" While Ami is fighting with her mom, Taiki gets a call on his cell phone. "Hello. No Grandma, It's me, Taiki." He says a little louder than normal. "Yes, uh-huh. Oh that's terrible! OK, we'll be down in just a second, hold tight." He hangs up and turns towards the other two. “Grandma isn‘t feeling to well, thinks she‘s coming down with a cold."

"Babe, I gotta go." Yaten says to Minako.

"No, I don't want you to go." Minako says with a pout. She turns to where she's straddling Yaten's legs, facing him. "You either have something in your pocket or your really happy I'm here. And I don't see any pockets." Minako says smiling.

Yaten blushes and coughs. "Come on Minako, I have to go."

"Just let the boy go. Hasn't he suffered enough." Rei says with a smirk.

"Oooo! Burn!!" Makoto says while laughing and pointing at Minako.

"Come on Yaten! We gotta haul a**!" Taiki says while gathering his things.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Yaten says as the runs his fingers through her hair. She leans closer to him. They touch noses, smiling and looking into each others eyes. Yaten brings her closer and gives her a passionate kiss. Taiki walks over to where Ami's top was thrown and picks it up. Walking over to Ami and her mother, without stopping the fight, he calmly puts the top back on her.

"Which buckle?" He asks.

"Third one." She replies without knowledge of who she's talking to. He buckles it easily and runs back to Yaten. He stands beside them for a minute tapping his foot and looking at his watch while they let their tongues rumble. Finally getting tired of it, he leans down and picks Minako, "Excuse me. Yaten, get up." then sets her back down in the lawn chair. Taiki grabs Yaten by the hair and leads him out the gate.

Ami walks away from her mother, still not noticing her top. "Haruka, Michiru. You have to leave."
"Ok, we'll see you later. Hotaru! We're leaving!" Haruka shouts. Hotaru runs up to Haruka.

"Haruka-Papa, I haven't got my things yet."

"I'll make sure Taiki gets them to you." Ami says while hugging Hotaru.
As they leave Ami bumps into Taiki.

"You have to leave." She says with her head down.

"Yes, I know. Our Grandma fell ill. We have to go take care of her." She gives him a confused look then shakes it off. Embarrassed, she thanks him for returning her top. He smiles while caressing her face. "So beautiful." He says in a whisper. She blushes and giggles. He brings her lips closer to his and kisses them very gently, embracing her in a short but sweet hug then lets go and runs off to catch up with Yaten. Ami smiles as she walks over to the other girls and tells them they have to leave.

They say their goodbyes and Ami walks back over to her mom. "Your grounded young lady." Mom says while shaking her finger. Ami looks down then nods her head lightly in understanding.

The blue haired beauty goes to her room and changes into spider-man under-roos and a light blue, spaghetti strap tank top. She stays in her room the rest of the night, not even coming down for supper. She stays in her room just reading an old book she hasn't read in a while, finally falling asleep around 11:00 p.m. with her book in one hand and a small teddy bear in the other.

"Ouch! Damn it! Oh s**t!" A voice shouts while falling down. The figure stands up and holds his head. He wears a regular black T-shirt with faded out, blue jeans and black sneakers. "Why does her bedroom have to be two stories up?" The figure walks over to Ami's bed and sits on the side, admiring her as she sleeps. He caresses her face as he softly says her name. Her sleeping form moans quietly as she stretches and lets her leg fall off the edge. The figure slides his hand down her face, down her torso, and onto her waist where he squeezes it as he quietly whispers her name again. She stirs again and rolls closer to the figure, embracing him as if he were a big teddy bear. The figure leans down and kisses her. She kisses back while running her hand up into his hair. After the kiss is broken she wakes up, seeing the dark figure in front of her, she pulls away from him quickly and backs up against the headboard with the cover concealing her entire body. "Take whatever you want, just leave me alone!" She says with a shaky whimper while shutting her eyes tight. The figure reaches over and rubs her cheek with his thumb. "So innocent." He whispers to himself. Ami shivers in fright. He moves his hand away, finds a lamp and turns it on. She slowly opens her eyes and sees the figure leaning very close to her. "Taiki! What are you doing here?!" She asks surprised.

"I came to see you. Sorry I scared you." She gets up to shut the window and put the animals that he knocked over, back up. "Please forgive me for waking you up like this but I just wanted to say, I'm sorry." He says while putting his arm around her. She gives him a confused look. "For bolting on you. For not being there to support you when you were fighting with your mother."

"It's ok, I understand. You had family problems."

"I still feel guilty and I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry."

“It’s ok.“ She says while leaning her head on his shoulder.

"No, I mean, I'm really sorry. And I want to make it up to you." He strokes her face and starts to kiss her. Slowly lying her down and slowly slipping his tongue into her mouth. With one hand playing with her hair, the other slides down to her hips, then slips up her shirt and starts to massage her breast. She moans of ecstasy and rubs his back. He starts to pull at her n****e, rubbing it between his thumb and index finger. As she gasps with pleasure, he goes to the other breast and does the same. Soon, he takes his other hand and starts to rub her stomach, making circles around her navel. Ami starts to giggle then resumes the kiss. He plays with the top of her underwear, slowly slipping his hand in and out of them, getting a good feel of her. Her skin begins to prickle with goose-bumps every time his hand goes in.

"Are you ok, Ami? I'll stop if you want me to." She smiles up at him in amazement.

"It's not you, I'm a virgin and it's really scary." She says looking into his eyes. He caresses her cheek, letting her know that she can trust him. That we don’t do anything extreme without her consent. He then leans down for another kiss, slipping his tongue into her mouth once again. He starts to move his hand down her body again. Along her waist and down her creamy, white legs. He comes back up and teases her navel again which makes her giggle. He slowly slips his hand into her underwear and strokes her lips making her moan hard as she runs her hand through his hair and grabbing a lock of it. He then separates her lips and gently strokes her swollen jewel. Ami brakes the kiss and gasps. Letting moans escape, then biting her lower lip. Taiki smiles, knowing exactly how she feels. He then slips his middle finger into her, feeling how wet she is and lubricating her further. "Oh Taiki.." Her hips move a little, trying to cope with his movements. He smiles and moves his ring finger into her and starts pumping in and out slowly. Ami throws her head back with her eyes wide open, moaning and gasping. As he pumps in and out, he lifts up her shirt and starts to lick around the n****e, taking the small figure higher. He licks the n****e lightly and then starts to suck on it, while the other hand massages the other breast. He playfully bites it her pink nub. While his hand is pumping, he hits her swollen jewel and starts to rub it slowly. Ami's hips bounce with the pleasure. She's never felt this experience before, never masturbated before. Her cries become louder. Crying out in ecstasy and yet, a little hurt because of the overwhelming feelings. Taiki keeps going, knowing that her body will slowly adjust to these new sensations. He goes over to the other breast and does the same thing. Taking her higher every time he strokes, licks, or sucks.

"Ooohhh!! Taiki, stop... I'm going... to... pee..." Taiki looks up at the moaning girl and simply smiles. Slowly stopping and readjusting his hand, he begins to push up on the 'roof' of her canal. Her eyes grow wide as she screams out. Hearing this, he strokes her jewel faster and pushes up harder. "Please... Taiki... really. I have... to... pee." She says gasping for breath in a sort of whine. "Taiki... Taiki... OH GOD!!" She screams as she lets her honey loose all over his hand. She falls backward on her pillow, breathing heavily, shaking, her eyes half open.

"Congratulations. You just had your first orgasm." He says as he licks his fingers. "Mmmm, you taste sweet."

“That was wonderful.” She says, her eyes half-closed.

"I'm glad you liked it. Now, let me do you another favor." Taiki says as he starts to kiss her neck. He slowly moves down, kissing her breasts, and her stomach. As she giggles, he runs his tongue around her navel and into it. He slips her underwear off and tosses them aside. Finally getting a good look at her, he begins to stroke her curls. He lowers his head and spreads her legs even further. His tongue lightly caressing her lips as she gasps out in pleasure. He separates her lips and starts on her throbbing jewel. He lightly rubs it with his tongue, massaging it. Her hips go crazy and she starts to breath heavily once again. He starts to stroke the swollen jewel a bit harder now, tasting her sweet juices that are flowing with every flick of his tongue. Her hand slides through his hair, pushing him into her. He wraps his lips around her treasure and starts to suck, then gently nibble. She lets go of his head and falls back, her legs locking up and her toes curling, grabbing the sheets between them. He rubs her thighs as he takes her higher to next orgasm. He moves down slightly, licking her labia. He probes her with his tongue, taking in everything she has to offer. While at the same time, cleaning her up. As he does this, he is rewarded with a long, drawn out, animalistic moan of pure ecstasy from deep within her chest. She bites her lower lip, trying to keep the moans at bay and not to c** again. When he gets done, he licks his lips, savoring the taste. She breaths heavily, never wanting this too end. He moves up on her and looks into her big, beautiful, blue eyes. One look of those eyes tells him to move on. He takes off his shirt and tosses it on the floor, next are his shoes, socks, jeans then boxers. She looks in amazement at his very big and long, erect manhood. As he places himself at her enterince he looks into her eyes again for reasurence. Leaning down he takes a hold of her left hand while his right hand rests on her hip. Her right strokes his back as he leans closer, whispering in her ear, "Please forgive me."

"Wha-" She is cut off by him thrusting into her and the feeling of a small, sharp pain. She squeezes his hand as tight as she can and scratches his back with her nails as her eyes feel with tears and screams slip from her lips. Taiki winces a bit from the scratches. "I-I'm so sorry.." She trails off with tears still in her eyes. He comforts her with quiet, gentle shushes while he wipes the tears from her face with his right hand.

"I've had worse, they'll soon heal. Now, are you ready to continue?" He asks in a low tone, trying to comfort her. She nods as he slowly starts to pump in and out of her, making long, smooth strokes. Her grip loosens as pain is replaced by pleasure. Being her first time, she comes fairly early. He grunts as she digs her nails into him once again. He kisses her as her body still quakes from the orgasm. She kisses him back, giving him the sign that she's ready to proceed. He starts again, thrusting a bit faster and harder. Her whole body rocks in motion with his as they both climb higher. Her legs are tightly rapped around his waist now. Their bodies keep perfect rhythm with the other as they make wondrous love.

"OH GOD! I'm cu-cumming!" Taiki yells a couple minutes later.

They scream each others name as they reach their peak together. Ami has her last one, it's a little weaker than the others but still just as fulfilling. Taiki's brings him crashing down. As he lies on his angel for a second she kisses him saying thank you over and over again. He rolls on his back, bringing her with him, lying on top of him, breathless. He strokes her hair and kisses her repeatedly.

He leans his head up and whispers in her ear, "I love you Ami Mizuno. I love you, with all my heart. Can you return my love?" Taiki asks with a worried look. She smiles and locks lips with him passionately, savoring every moment of the kiss.

She breaks the kiss and whispers, "I already have." They spend the rest of the night in each others arms, still locked together, becoming one.

The sun pours in the window, covering the two in a bright yellow and orange light. Both under the blue sheets of Ami's bed, still holding each other.

"Ami! Ami darling! You're going to be late for work!" Mom says while rapping on Ami's bedroom door. As she walks in, the two are slowly waking up. "OH MY LORD!" Mom yells while covering her mouth with her hand as to keep from screaming.

"Mommy! How-pleasant to-see-you." Ami stutters trying to hide her embarrassment.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE I HOPE YOU USED A CONDOM!"

"Remind me again what a condom does..." Ami says while shifting in bed.

"Don't you dare play dumb with me young lady! First yesterday, and now this! What's next?!"

"I love him Mommy and he loves me!!!"

"I want you out of my house! Go to work! When you come back, all your Makoto will be waiting for you on the front porch!" With that, Mom goes to get the servants started on Ami's room. Ami starts to cry as Taiki gets up and puts his boxers and pants on and runs after Mom.

"Mrs. Mizuno! Please, let me explain!" Taiki yells as he chases after her.

"And you! How dare you come into my house uninvited!" Mom yells while shaking a finger.

"Yes, I understand. But don't punish Ami for my mistake. I took advantage of her. It's completely my fault." He says in a pleading voice.

"Maybe so, but she could have fought back or hit the panic button. And from the looks of it she did neither which puts her at fault as well."

"Where is she going to go?" Taiki asks.

"She's a smart girl, she'll figure it out. Now, get out of my house!" Mom yells and starts to walk away. Taiki jogs back into the room to find his angel still crying. He walks over to her and holds her close.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's going to be alright. We'll figure out something. Hey, look on the bright side. At least you don't have to pack all this Makoto up." This brings a small giggle from Ami and a slight smile. "There, that's what I'm looking for." He says as he holds her face up to his. He brings his lips to meet hers in a short but sweet kiss. "Now, go get cleaned up and we'll get ready to go to work. That should take your mind off of this for a while." Ami does as he says and they are soon off to work.

"Morning Ami, Taiki! How are ya?!" Usagi asks cheerfully.

"Fine, just fine." Ami says as she walks past the front desk.

"What's wrong with her Taiki?" Usagi asks with a concerned look on her face.

"She's just a bit tired. She had a long night last night, didn't get much sleep."

Usagi nods lightly while handing some folders to Taiki. “Here are yours and Ami's files. Double check to make sure they're in order and I'll see you two at lunch." Taiki nods then heads down the blue hall.

As Usagi watches Taiki leave, she sees Seiya walking toward her. As she pulls out the folders he needs, they talk for a while, setting up a date for later that night. Seiya smiles and waves as he walks away.

They finish out the day easily then go home.

When Usagi gets home, she takes a quick shower and gets dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, blue and green stripped skort, and white sneakers. Michiru helps her with a bit of make-up and her hair as Seiya knocks on the door while re-arranging the bouquet of roses as he waits. Usagi hugs her guardians then runs out.

"This is so beautiful Seiya! A bouquet of white roses with a single red rose in the middle.” Usagi smiles as she smells the flowers. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." He says while keeping his eyes on the road. After a couple minutes they stop in what looks like a park.

"Where are we?" She asks.

"Just close your eyes and follow me." He says as he grabs her hands and starts to lead her down a hill. Usagi shuts her eyes and follows him. They finally get down hill and now she can walk on level ground. He finally stops and sits her down in a chair. "Okay, you can look now." He says as he moves aside. She opens her eyes and sees a huge, white dome in front of her. It's surrounded by weeds and tall grass and on the top are some huge, yellow and orange, bold letters. Some of the letters have fallen off but she can still read what it's supposed to say. Hillcrest Symphony. On the stage is a single microphone and CD player in the back.

"What's this all about?"

"I noticed that nobody ever uses this dome anymore and it's so secluded that I figured it would be a perfect place to sing."

"Sing..." She says quietly as Seiya runs up the dome steps and turns on the electronics. The music starts, it's a good pace yet a hard and dreary song. The song he's singing is called 'Carry on'. Usagi leans forward in her chair with a bright smile on her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carry on, carry on dancing.
Carry on, keep a romancing.
Closer, Passion, Stronger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a magic only two can tell
and in the dark night,
ultra violet is a wicked spell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi starts to get a tingle in her stomach as Seiya jumps down from the stage and walks toward her. He stretches out his right hand, as she takes it, he pulls her up and wraps his arms around her and starts to dance. He still sings, but not with the microphone. He sings quietly to her, a whisper in her ear. She puts herself completely at his will as he sings; sinking into his chest, molding to his body, savoring every moment that he's with her.

"Oh Seiya, nobody has ever sang to me before. It's so sweet."

"I'll sing to you whenever you want."

"You really don't mind?" She asks.

"Of course not. I love to sing. And to sing to you is a blessing itself." He says as she strokes her face. Usagi’s eyes light up and a bright smile spreads across her face. Her right hand finds it's way up into Seiya's hair. She pushes up on her toes and brings his lips to hers and kisses them passionately. Usagi falls into him. Completely giving herself to him. He holds her close by her waist, savoring the sweet taste of her strawberry lip-balm. "Come on, the night isn't over yet." He says as he runs up and grabs his CD then grabs Usagi, jumps into his car and drives off.

"Where are we going now?"

"You'll see."

She then leans down and turns on the radio to her favorite station and starts to jam to it. Seiya just laughs as he sees her playing air guitar. They finally reach their destination and her face completely lights up. "THE COYOTE FUNK!!!" She yells as soon as she sees the bar.

"If anybody asks, your 21." Seiya says.

"Screw that! I could say I'm 12 and they'd still let me in!"

"What?"

"I used to work here when I was 15 and 16!" She says as she gets out of the car.

"Damn, I thought it would be a surprise." He says while hanging his head. Usagi walks over to him and throws her arms around him. "It is! I haven't been here for around two years! Come on!" She says as she grabs his hand and starts to walk toward the door.

As they walk through the bar, everybody turns to see them. All the regulars start to clap and go wild, chanting her name over and over again. Seiya just stares in amazement. She smiles at everybody and waves politely then leads Seiya over to the bar where she sits down on a stool beside him. Dizzy walks over and smiles then puts a small headband on Usagi‘s head. “Welcome back my Silver Coyote.”

Usagi‘s eyes light up when she feels the fuzzy ears on top of the headband. “Oh my God! Thank you so much Diz!!” Dizzy nods, smiles then walks off to serve another customer.

"What?" Seiya asks with a scrunched up face.

"There are 4 levels of Coyotes. The Black Coyote is for newbies. Then there are the Silver Coyotes, White Coyotes and the Legendary Spirit Coyote. That's what Dizzy is cause she's the owner, the oldest and first member of the bar. And that guy over there, Arkoma, he‘s a Spirit Coyote to. He‘s an old friend of Tizzy's and started working here as a bodyguard in the first week."

"How long do you have to be here to get higher in rank?" Seiya asks.

"That's up to Dizzy, there is no timeline."

A new song starts and strobes lights start to flicker as the people jump up and down like in a rave. Usagi leans on Seiya, completely at a calm for some reason. To her, there's no distraction, she doesn't hear the loud music, but the soft beat of Seiya's heart. He puts his arm around her waist and pulls her closer. She feels completely secure in his arms. She never felt this secure in Mamoru's arms. She buries her face deep into his chest and smells the faint scent of cologne on him. He rests his head on hers and smells the strong scent of Strawberry shampoo. He kisses the top of her head as she buries deeper. She almost falls asleep on him when a loud song starts with a lot of base that snaps her out of the doze. As she looks up, the strobe lights die and the others dim. She looks up at Seiya, catching him staring at her. Those big, beautiful, crystal blue eyes of hers, and deep, handsome, mid-night blue of his. They lean closer and kiss, locking lips. Both enjoying every minute of it. When they break, Seiya moves Usagi's hair away from her neck and tilts her head slightly. He leans a bit and starts to kiss her neck. Giving it loving kisses down the base then trailing back up to her mouth where they share another passionate kiss, only this time he slips his tongue into her mouth. She reacts by doing the same. Seiya starts to run his right hand through her hair and his left massages her waist and draws her nearer with every second that passes. They both completely forget about the world around them, the music, now a deadened sound. The people, figments of their imagination. The bar, just a place where lust has boundaries. The place where they are now has no boundaries on lust, but Usagi does and Seiya respects them. Their world is finally shattered when they hear a deep man's voice yell, "Bartender!” Neither of them want to leave this world but they know Dizzy isn't at the bar so Usagi has to get it. They both slowly break away, savoring each others taste. He slowly unravels her from his grip as she walks behind the bar.

"So stranger, what will it be?" She asks with a cheerful smile. The man, his head still hanging orders a 'Bacardi'. Usagi looks under the bar and is lucky to find one more left. She doesn't realize who the stranger is until his lifts his head to say 'Thank you.', she withdraws the drink as she looks at the man in total shock.

"What are you doing here?!" They both ask at the same time.

"I have a right to be here." He says still in shock. "What about you?" He asks.

"I have the same right Mamoru." She says coldly.

"Your to young to work here, Usako!" He says coldly. She shoves the drink into his chest and points her finger at him.

"Mamoru, I am not, and I repeat, NOT your Usako anymore.” He turns a little on the stool and takes a swig of the drink. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my date." He almost spits out the drink as she walks back to the other. He grits his teeth and growls low in his chest. This was his fiance, his Usako, his Princess, his lover, and she's with another man. Even though he hated it, he stayed and watch her constantly, just waiting for Seiya to slip up.

Dizzy walks over to the two and places a hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Hey, why haven't you talked to me in a while? Where are the others?" Dizzy asks while brushing her hair back.

"Sorry Diz, just here on a date tonight." Dizzy smiles and walks off. Mamoru doesn't talk to anybody or look at anybody else. His eyes are fixed on Usagi. She walks back over to Seiya with a smile and gently sits down sideways on his lap, leaning into him. He kisses her on the cheek and pulls her closer. She turns a little and kisses him on the lips passionately. He maneuvers his tongue so that it lightly brushes her lips, he tastes the sweet but sour lemonade on them and loves it. He finally slips his tongue through her lips and into her mouth, playing with hers. He grabs her waist and squeezes, making her giggle. He does it again making her laugh some more and then starts to tickle her ribs. She begs him to stop but that only makes him tickle a little harder and faster. He finally stops when he sees the tears in her eyes and hears her groan from her hurt stomach. He holds her against himself and cradles her. She calms down and enters another void. Almost falling asleep on him again, until he shakes her while repeating her name. She snaps to and looks up at him with a smile then kisses him once again.

"Usagi, please come here." Mamoru asks in a polite tone.

Usagi kisses Seiya on the cheek and then gets up and walks over to Mamoru. "Yes? Want something else?" She asks in a flat tone.

"Look, I get the message and I said I was sorry. Just come back to me, please. I'll do whatever it takes to get you back."

Usagi stares at him. "Look, I’m with Seiya now, just accept it. He knows how to treat me." She says as she stares her former lover down.

"I get it Usagi. Your just going out with him to get back at me. I understand that, but don't you think your going a little to far? Come on, come back with me and everything will be alright."

"Just empty promises." She says as she throws him a green rag. "Here, you left a ring on my counter, clean it up." She turns around and walks back to Seiya where he holds her once again, never wanting to let go.

As Dizzy walks by the two, Seiya grabs her arm softly and pulls her down a bit. He whispers to her and hands her something. She nods with a smile and walks off.

She walks over to the DJ and has him put in CD. The lights dim and one light as the music starts up with a nice, steady, mellow beat. Seiya kisses Usagi and then stands up, standing her up at the same time. Mamoru watches them as they walk out onto the floor where the spotlight is shining. Usagi is a little dazed and doesn't understand what is happening. Everybody backs away from the spotlight and watch as the two start to dance once again. Seiya has already recorded the vocal for this song so it plays completely so everybody else can hear it. But he still sings to her himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you feel all alone
and the world has turned it's back on you,
give me a moment, please
to tame your wild, wild heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mamoru is about to explode, he can't take much more of his Usako with another guy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me be the one you call.
If you jump, I'll break your fall.
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night.
If you need to fall apart.
I can mend a broken heart.
If you need to crash,
then crash and burn your not alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mamoru drinks the rest of his Bacardi and tries to ignore them when they draw each other in for a long, passionate kiss. This is the straw that just broke the camels back. He slams down the empty bottle, gets up and starts to walk towards the two. They break the kiss just in time for Seiya to see him approaching. He approaches so fast that Seiya has no time to get Usagi out of the way. He quickly turns around, still in the embrace, and takes a brutal punch in the lower spine. He falls forward a bit, still protecting the innocent bunny in his embrace. Usagi doesn't know what has just happened until Seiya is pulled off of her by his hair. He's punched in the stomach and takes a kick to the side. Usagi runs between the two men and tries to stop them but Mamoru pushes her out of the way making her fall on her tush. As Seiya tries to get up, Mamoru walks up behind him to give him another kick to the side. Seiya does a back flip and lands behind the jealous man. Seiya grabs him and puts him in a headlock. Mamoru struggles to get free but Seiya has him tight. He starts to punch his prisoner in the stomach as Mamoru jabs his captor in the side with his elbow. While everybody else is cheering them on, Dizzy, and Akuma are desperately trying to make their way through the crowd. Dizzy heads for Usagi and helps her up. Usagi holds the back of her head indicating that she must have hit it on the way down. Dizzy gets back up and grabs Seiya while Akuma grabs the still heated Mamoru. The jealous lover struggles against his captor as Seiya calms down while Usagi talks to him and strokes his face. Dizzy lets him go and helps Akuma with the other fighter. Usagi makes sure Seiya is alright, he only has a couple of bruises and a scratch or two but other than that, he's fine. Usagi walks over to the still struggling Mamoru and stares at him. He finally calms when he realizes that she has yet to break her stare.

"Damn it Usagi! He had his hands all over you! You don't need him! Your to good for him! I'm better than he is! You're my Usako, do you hear that! MY USAKO!" With that, Usagi raised her hand high and makes full contact with Mamoru's face.

"Shut the hell up! I've given you chances Endymion and you just seem to throw them away and want another one."

"Serenity..." He says in a pleading voice. Her hand meets his face again with the same force as last time. Everybody steps back with 'Ooo's' rolling off their lips.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up! Now listen, I know you better than this. This is bullshit! He's never done anything to harm me. I know that you've been watching both of us like a hawk, just waiting for Seiya to slip up so maybe, just maybe I'd run back to you. Well you can get that thought out of your mind right now."

"Usagi, please tell them to let me go." Mamoru says while giving her a pleading look, hoping she'll by it.

"No, you can't trust me so I can't trust you. You're pitiful Endymion. Look at you, battered and bruised and for what?"

"Love." He answers, still in a plea. "No Endymion. Nothing but jealousy. Jealousy and being scared. Scared that I would leave you and you would be alone, never to have anybody else.
