You're 3 hours late and the rooms for the dormitories are almost packed up!" shouted Rei in Usagi's cell phone as Usagi stopped at a red light. She was in her red Porsche and driving towards her college where her friends were already there waiting impatiently for her. "Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know Rei! Just quit your shouting so I can concentrate on the road! I'm almost there anyways." She heard some muffled screams as Minako took the phone from a protesting Rei. "Usagi! Usagi!! Bad news! There are absolutely NO MORE rooms left open for you for the friend's pack!" Usagi's eyes opened wide at that. "NANI?! Then who am I suppose to bunk with?!" She couldn't help but whine, as she imagined her friends all bunking in a room together while she bunked with complete strangers. She could hear Rei in the background, "You baka! If only you weren't being careless and late again then you could've been here on time!" Usagi sighed. Rei for once in her life was right. Not that she was going to admit it to her of course. She had woken up late that morning and now she had to pay the consequences. She smiled though, remembering her parents and Shingo. She couldn't believe it...but she missed them already. !* FLASHBACK *! Grabbing her suitcases, she rushed down the stairs to say her last good-byes to her family. Her mom was bawling her eyes out while Kenji was trying his best to comfort her. Shingo on the other hand, was hopping for joy, thoughts of what he was going to turn Usagi's room into dancing through his imaginative head. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll miss you blah blah blah and all of those other mushy stuff! Now get going already so I can turn your room into...er...I mean...before we start to miss you too much." Shingo smirked coyly as he shoved his older "boyish" sister out the door. Usagi had always hung out with the "men" which led to her dressing up like one. Her only unmanly friends were Rei-chan, Ami-chan, Mako-chan, and of course her uncanny look alike, Minako-chan. Ami ended up wanting to stay in Tokyo, Japan to attend college with her best friends. Usagi put her suitcases in her red Porsche as she went back into the house to hug her parents. Her mother frowned once she wiped the tears from her eyes and examined her daughter's choice of clothing. "Usagi! It's going to be your first day in college! Can't you at least dress decent?" Usagi looked down at her clothes and frowned. "I don't see anything wrong with my clothes." Today she was wearing baggy denim pants and a huge white Nike shirt that was half tucked in while the rest hung out. Her hair was up in its usual tight bun. She was always constantly begging er..."persuading"...her mom into letting her cut her hair. But Mrs. Tsukino wouldn't hear of it. She was always trying to get Usagi to wear dresses or at least befitting clothes that weren't three times bigger then her. So Usagi had to settle for the next best thing, which was to ball her hair into a bun so it could at least look like she had short hair. Mrs. Tsukino sighed giving up. Her daughter was going to be a tomboy and she could do nothing but support that. "Yeah well, like I said before...you better get going!" Shingo said as he once again tried to push his sister out the door, who this time didn't budge. "Shingo! Let us at least hug her first!" scolded Mrs. Tsukino as she took her daughter into a warm...TIGHT...embrace. Usagi hugged her back, but her face was now turning blue as she struggled to breathe. Kenji noticing this, cleared his throat and gently took his wife off their daughter, who was now gasping for air. He then hugged her and kissed her on her forehead. "We're going to miss you, Usagi." Usagi could only smile up at her father. But that didn't last long when his overly-protective side took over. "Drive safely, you understand me? And don't drive too fast." "Or to slow!" her mother cut in. "No parties either, young lady!" "Only once in a while, of course!" Ikuko cut it again. Her husband threw her an exasperated look then turned back to his daughter. "And of course...the most important rule of them all.....NO BOYS!!" "The "s" in boyS being the keyword, dear. But of course you can have at least one BOY at a time." Her mom smiled, looking innocently at her now gawking husband. "B..but..but.." her father stammered. "Isn't that right, honey?" her mother looked up at him with adoration and smiled. It took only that one smile before he sighed and nodded. "That's right, dear." Usagi couldn't help but hide a smile. Her mom had him twined around her finger and looking up at her mom, only made her burst out with laughter. Mrs. Tsukino winked and led her daughter to her car. Hugging her for the last time, she whispered in her ear, "When you come to visit, I want a handsome man by your side." Usagi blushed at the thought of having a man, but merely nodded. She smiled and opened her mouth to say thank you to her mom, but was surprised when it came out like a car horn. "HONK! HONK! HONK!!!" !* End of Flashback *! Usagi blinked. "What the?!" she then noticed that she was still on the road and now had a long line of angry drivers behind her. She turned crimson red, forgetting that she was still on the road and put her foot to the peddle. A driver passed by her as he waved his fist into the air, "Pay attention stupid boy!" he yelled as he sped off in front of her. "BOY?!!!" she groaned and slumped down in her seat. "Well, that's what I get for dressing like one," she muttered. She finally saw the University in the distance and grinned. But the she frowned when she remembered that she wouldn't be bunking with her friends. "Great.." she grumbled. Turning right, into the college's entrance, she screamed. For there right in front of her was another car that was going towards her at an amazing speed. Shoving her foot onto the stop peddle, a huge screeching noise was heard and all went black. !* 5 Minutes Later *! Usagi stirred and fluttered her eyes open as she groaned at the fierce, throbbing pain. She felt like she had been hit by a truck and couldn't fathom what had just momentarily moments ago happened. It all came about so fast and the thought that had been racing through her head, of her facing death, scared her. Pushing the air bag away from her, she put her hand to her forehead and gasped with shock seeing that she was bleeding a little. With a bitter groan, she got out of her car to inspect the wreckage. It wasn't as bad as she thought, at least, nothing a little money couldn't fix. She growled, walking towards the black car that had rammed into her and opened the driver's door. "Alright buster! You got some paying to do for the damage you made to my car!!" she shouted, her hands settling on her curvaceous hips. What she saw, though, was a male with dark, jet-black hair who's face was buried in the air bag. She rolled her eyes upward as she helped him push the air bag away from his face. He then got out of his car and laid in a heap on the ground. By now there were many people around them, wondering what had just happened. She told them that everything was ok as they just shrugged and got back in their cars. "You baka!! You ran you're stupid car into me! And now you have to pay for the damage that you've done to my poor car!!" she yelled down at the man as he struggled to get up. Usagi almost gasped when she how just how attractive looking he was. Even with his scratched up forehead due to the impact, he still looked strikingly handsome. He was very tall and his bangs settled around his eyes, giving him a boyish appearance. He had the deepest blue eyes that seemed to bore a hole into her as she all of a sudden shivered. She hugged herself, in an attempt to get warm, even though it was 86° outside. He was the first to break off their locked gaze as he eyed her up and down. He thought that this person was a male when he first looked up at whoever it was that was shouting at him causing the pain in his head to intensify. But looking at this person's eyes and her feminine features, not to mention her chest and ravishing curves that she tried to hide beneath her baggy clothes...he immediately knew that whoever she was...was DEFINITELY not male. He gave her one of his charming smiles, that usually worked on many women. He frowned, though, seeing that she didn't so much as swoon as she merely pointed to her car. He looked towards her car and thanked the Lord that it didn't look too bad. 'At least it won't take long to pay off.' He came from a rich family and was anything BUT stuck up. His mother wanted him to go to the US to attend Harvard or Princeton, but he declined. He didn't want to go to a school with snobby, stuck up rich people. So he just stayed here in Japan. He was just getting out of his dorm to go grocery shopping since there was no food what so ever left in his fridge. He was a bit in a rush and talking on his cell phone at the same time. Looking down just a moment to make sure he had his list, he smiled and looked back up. He then had the shock of his life when he saw that he was on the wrong side of the lane and was now about to collide with another car. He finally spoke trying to reassure the mad woman in front of him, who seemed provoked enough to throttle him to death right there and then. "Miss, please calm down. I'll pay it off for you." Taking out his check book, he wrote her a check. "Is this enough?" Her eyes widened seeing that he had written down a 1 with many 0's following it. Clearing her throat she just scowled up at him. "Hai. It'll do." And with that said, she stomped back into her car and drove towards the University. Watching her go, he had the weirdest feeling inside of his stomach. Pushing that feeling aside, he chuckled. "Hm..woman's got spunk." Getting back into his car he drove towards the grocery store, not even caring on how his car must've looked like since he could just buy another one. "Women with spunk and remarkable beauty just worry me. Trouble always follow them...not to mention broken hearts." he muttered to himself as images of a certain blonde danced through his head.

"Room number's 377 and you're on the 7th floor. This is the last open room on that floor. All the other rooms are for students who wish to have a room for themselves. Please enjoy your stay," the lady said in a robot-like tone, since she was used to saying the same thing everyday. Yawning she turned her attention towards the person behind Usagi and plastered a fake smile on her bright red lips. "Welcome. How can I help you?" Usagi scrunched up her nose. The lady was a bit rude, but shrugging it off, she headed towards one of the elevators. Pressing the up button, she sighed. Frowning, she wondered if whatever she just signed up for was a friend's pack. She merely asked the lady if there were any rooms left open where you could share it with another person, and the lady had given her this particular room. She knew that she was going to be bunking with a complete stranger, or strangers for all she knew. She pictured her friends all having a great time in their room and she cursed beneath her breath. 'You baka! That's what you get for arriving late!' the voice inside her said. She jumped out of her thoughts, when a hand landed on her shoulder. Turning around, she grinned seeing that it was the girls. "Konnichiwa minna-san." Usagi muttered as she rapidly pushed the button. "Kami!! Do these doors ever open?!" No one answered her as they appeared to be enthralled at the sheet of paper where her room and floor number was written. Waving her hands in front of their faces, she frowned and looked down at the paper too. "Nani?" "Usagi-chan!! Don't you know what the 7th floor is?!" squealed Minako as she grabbed the sheet of paper and hugged it to her chest, a dreamy look on her face. Usagi merely shook her head. "Iie." Makoto then grabbed the paper from Minako's grasp and grinned. "The 7th floor is a co-ed floor." Usagi still had a blank impression on her face. Ami sighed, "It's a floor where a guy and a girl...ya know....share a room together?" This time Usagi got it as she gasped. "Are you guys serious?! For all I know this guy could rape me or be a womanizer!! Kami!! I'm going to march over to the baka lady over there, and demand that she changes my room!" Makoto shook her head, "Usagi-chan!! Just give it a try will you?! For all YOU know, this guy could be dashingly handsome! And maybe he'll look like my old boyfriend!" She squealed. Rei sweatdropped, "Mako-chan...you already have a boyfriend. Ken...or have you already forgotten?" Makoto sweatdropped. "Heh..heh...oh yeah! I forgot." Usagi just sighed, finally giving in. "Oh well. I don't mind spending time with guys anyways. Maybe he'll be my best bud this year." At this, her friends frowned as they finally noticed her clothing. "Usagi! Can't you wear anything not so.......manly?!" Rei shouted. "Well she can wear whatever she wants. Simply let her wear it, and you never know. She'll presumptively wish to wanting to start wearing something more feminine." said Ami. "That's not likely to happen," Usagi mumbled. "Um, ladies?" They all turned around to see an old, bald-headed man as flickers of amusement seemed to dance in his eyes. "I'm sorry. But that elevator that you're trying to use is under construction as you can see on that big piece of paper taped to it." They all turned crimson red, since they didn't notice the big sign that was plastered onto the elevator doors. "Gomen," Rei mumbled as she walked up to another elevator. !* On The 7th Floor *! Usagi opened the door to her new room, with the gang right behind her heels because they wanted to see the major hunk she would be bunking with. They gasped seeing the room. It was like a luxury suite...but what caught their eyes however was the fact that it was so clean!! Usually, guys they knew were always sloppy and careless. But this room obviously proved them wrong. There wasn't even a speck of dust anywhere! There was an ironing board to one side with nicely, folded clothes laying in a laundry basket beside it. Makoto whistled, "Wow! Whoever this guy is, he sure is a neat freak." "Or gay..." Rei muttered as she received shocked gasps towards her. "Nani?!!" Rei asked with a sheepish grin. Usagi, however, could care less. She was used to hanging out with men and had no problem with them. But she did have one problem, in any case, and that was the tidiness of the room. Flinging her suitcase onto the couch, it snapped open causing all of her belongings to topple out. "Hmph! Much better!" Usagi grinned. Ami could only gape. "Usagi, even though you dress like a guy...you sure do live like one too." And with a tsk she walked toward the kitchen. "Aw!! Thanks Ami-chan!" Usagi beamed. Everyone just sweatdropped as they followed her into the kitchen. Of course, Usagi headed right towards the refrigerator and what she saw horrified her so much, that she screamed! Minako screamed too, wondering why Usagi screamed. Thoughts of women's heads or bloody knives crept into her mind as she sauntered behind Usagi. What she saw made her laugh, and the expression on Usagi's face made her laugh even more. "Nani?" Makoto asked. "Usagi-chan....hehe...screamed because...hahaha....there ain't no food in the...hehe hoo hoo...fridge!!" "I know!! Isn't it just horrifying?!" Usagi asked aghast. Makoto nodded. "Of course!! I mean this guy should visit my kitchen sometime!! I'd lecture him the importance of food!" Ami and Rei looked at each other and sweatdropped. Walking up to the cabinet, Rei grabbed two cans. One can with corn and the other containing beans. "Hm...well at least whoever this person is...has can food in the cabinets." "Hai. Thank God that whoever I am has food in my cabinets." said a deep, manly voice as they all turned around to find a dark haired young man holding grocery bags glowering down at them. Rei dropped the cans causing three thumps to hit the ground. "THREE?!" One can of corn was on the floor rolling in a circle. The other was rolling towards the man who stopped it with his foot. And...the third was...well...Usagi as she laid unconscious on the kitchen floor. !* Mamoru's POV *! Getting out of his black Supra, he took the grocery bags out of the trunk and went into the dormitory building. Giving everyone a polite smile and casual hellos, he slipped into the elevator, silently thanking God that he wasn't being mobbed as usual by the girls in the building. The elevator stopped at the 3rd floor letting in a group of giggling girls as he silently cursed knowing that he spoke too soon. Once they saw him, they automatically clung to him, as if he was a magnet. "Hey there Mamoru." "What a pleasant surprise meeting you here." "We were just going to go up to the 7th floor...and oh my gosh...that's your floor isn't it?" He smiled weakly and prayed that the elevator would hurry up and move up. When he reached the 7th floor, the girls still clung to him as he hurriedly walked towards sanctuary, which in this case, was his room. "Would you mind if we came into your room?" "Yes, we wouldn't mind a drink." "Maybe we can talk about you're love life..." Turning around he gave them a enchanting smile that showed off his pearly whites. "Ladies...maybe some other time? I'm a bit tired right now." Backing into his room, he slammed the door in their surprised faces and leaned against the door. His eyes immediately shot open, once he saw a suitcase on his couch and what seemed like baggy, men clothes scattered around his tidy carpet. If the clothes didn't give away that he had unsuspected visitors, then the two feminine screams sure did. Walking cautiously towards his kitchen, he was surprised to see five girls rummaging through his fridge and cabinet. One girl, however, caught his attention as the one he accidentally ran over a few hours ago. She turned around and seemed to freeze in place as their eyes locked. He looked away from her shocked face as he looked towards her other comrades. Apparently, the others didn't notice his presence as one raven haired girl opened his cabinets. "Hm...well at least whoever this person is...has can food in the cabinets." "Hai. Thank God that whoever I am has food in my cabinets." he said with a smirk as she dropped the two can foods in her hands as it made three thunks on the floor. He stopped one that was rolling towards him with this foot, as he raised a brow. "THREE?!" Rei cried.

She had a throbbing head-ache and just the thought of her fainting AGAIN made her groan. This was the second time she had fainted all in the same day and she didn't like it. Not one bit. It made her feel too feminine...too fragile and weak. Willing herself to sit up, she ignored the pulsing pain and looked around at her surroundings. For a minute she forgot where she was and panicked, but then thoughts of her hellish day brought her back to reality. Looking around she noticed that her friend's weren't there any more. "Kami...how long have I been out?" she whispered as she held her head in her hands. All of a sudden Mamoru walked out of the kitchen and smiled. "Ah. She has awaken." he said in a melodramatic (AN: theatrical-like ^.~) tone as he grinned from ear to ear and pushed her back gently to lay back onto the couch. Placing a warm, wet face cloth onto her forehead he smiled softly. "So how ya feelin?" His hand grazed her soft cheeks, and she could've sworn that he purposely allowed it to linger there until he pulled away. A blush crept up her cheeks as she looked away from his amused eyes and pushed him away from her. "I'm fine. But what are you doing in my room?!" she asked. He laughed. "I should be the one asking you that. This is MY room after all. And I could've sworn that I locked the door before I left to go grocery shopping." She held a blank expression, looking up at him. 'Hm..he's knows something I don't.' She thought. Then her eyes widened as she began to comprehend what he had just hinted at and gasped. "KAMI! You mean...you... I ... we're... roommates?!?!" "Yeah...that about sums it all up." he smirked, as he stood up and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "By the way...we've never been introduced due to our...er...interesting meetings. Names Chiba Mamoru." "Tsukino Usagi." she simply said as she stooped down to pick up her clothes that was still scattered all over the carpet. "Usagi...hm...for some odd reason it seems like I've said that name thousands of times before. Like..." "...we've known each other's name before..." Usagi said. For a brief moment their eyes locked. Shaking her head, Usagi continued with picking up her clothes with her usual calm demeanor. But if you looked hard enough, you could see her hands shaking uncontrollably. Mamoru shook his head as he chose to ignore those feelings that apparently both of them felt. "Er...here..." he said as he walked over towards her and stooped down to help her pick up her clothes. "...let me help you with that." Picking up some baggy men's pants, he raised a brow and looked at her questioningly. Without looking up she answered his unspoken question, "I just like to dress up like this. Call me a tomboy all you want...I tend to take it as a compliment." With that said, she threw him a weak smile. His barely heard a word she said as his gaze transfixed upon her luscious lips. He suddenly had an urge to kiss the breath out of her, but resisted that tempting thought and resumed to pick up the remains of her scattered clothes. Standing up, she balanced her open suitcase on her curvaceous hip and carried her other suitcase with her other hand. "Yeah...well...I'm going into my room now. I need to unpack. It's going to be interesting having you as a roommate Mr. Chiba. Unfortunately, you just may be the death of me." With a chuckle and a wink she walked into a room. He sweatdropped as he silently counted to three. "One...two...three..." All of a sudden Usagi walked out of the room, her cheeks redder than a tomato as she cautiously checked another room. Seemingly to be content with it, she slammed the door. "You could of had the bathroom for your room, you know! I wouldn't mind having you as company when I take my shower." he yelled towards the closed door. All he heard was a muffled scream. Laughing, he went back into the kitchen. He knew he was going to like this year. Without a doubt. !* Three Hours Later *! Rushing towards his room, Mamoru rummaged through his coat pocket until he came upon his ringing cell phone. "Moshi Moshi?" He asked as he ran a hand through his hair only to give up when his bangs landed around his eyes again. "Yo Mamoru! It's me, Motoki." "Oh hey man...why are you calling me on my cell phone when you could've just called my dorm number?" Mamoru asked as he walked back towards the living room. "You don't usually answer your phone! With all of those girls "coincidentally" finding your number and calling you, I'm not surprised." Mamoru sighed as he sat down on the couch and laid his head back. "Yeah...well...what's up?" "Well, Reika and I was just thinking about going to the beach tomorrow. Wanna come?" asked Motoki on the other line. "Eh...I don't know man. My schedule's pretty busy tomorrow and..." "Oh come on!" Motoki interrupted. "Your schedule's ALWAYS busy, that's not something new. You need to get out and have some fun Mamoru." He was just about to protest until a certain blonde walked past him towards the kitchen. He smirked, "Er...Motoki...I just had a change of mind. I'll go." "Great!" Motoki cried on the other end. Then he hesitated. "Ok...who's the girl?!" Mamoru sweatdropped. "What are you talking about?" 'Damn! He knows me too well!' He thought. "Oh come on! I know you too well! So...who is she? What's her name?" "Er...Tsukino Usagi." At that, Usagi's head popped out from the kitchen, her face covered with chocolate, as she looked at him with a raised brow. "Did you call me?" Mamoru turned beat red as he shook his head vigorously, and sweatdropped. With a careless shrug, she went back into the kitchen to finish stuffing her face with chocolate cake and ice-cream. !* Silence *! "Was that her?" Motoki asked from the other end of the line after a long moment of uncomfortable silence on Mamoru's part. "Yeah..." "Damn! You have it bad. Is this girl part of your "We Love Mamoru" club?" asked Motoki. "No...she's...different. But I'll meet you at the beach tomorrow at....?" "12 o'clock. Just make sure you bring that Usagi girl. I want to meet her. She has gotten me curious. VERY curious. Never thought I'd see the day when you'd actually fall for a girl..." Mamoru could hear Reika as she yelled, "WHAT?! MAMORU'S FALLEN FOR A GIRL?!" and with a chuckle, Motoki hung up. Mamoru groaned as he rubbed his temples. Standing up, he walked towards the kitchen and could only gape at what he saw. There sat Usagi eating more than enough food for a feast! There was cake, ice-cream, sodas, chips, donuts, cupcakes...just about any type of food you can think of...not to mention...all the food he has just bought. She stopped her little battle of stuffing a cupcake whole in her mouth only to grin up at him sheepishly, causing the cupcake to fall out of her mouth to the floor. She blushed a crimson red at his stunned expression. "Um...sorry about the mess. Heh heh.." she put her hand behind her head as she chuckled. "I got...hungry.." Mamoru just stood there with his mouth wide open. Finally coming out of his little reverie, he regained his composure and sweatdropped. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. 'Persuading her to go to the beach is going to be easier than I thought.' "It's ok Usagi. We can just go grocery shopping before dinner. But there is something you can do to make up for this." Usagi shook her head and held her hand out in front of her as she just laughed. "Hold it right there, buster. Who said I was going to make up for this? Can't a girl eat around here without having to "make up" for it?!" Mamoru just grinned, making Usagi uneasy. Mamoru knew from what he saw, that like most men, they did NOT like cleaning. "Well ok, then I guess you're just going to have to clean this mess up.......alone." Mamoru knew he had struck gold when her eyes widened and she yelped. "NANI?! Me?! Clean?!" Looking around at her surroundings, didn't really help to calm her nerves as she whimpered. There was a river-like trail of chocolate syrup as it ran down the table and onto the floor. The remains of the cake slipped off the edge of the table, and landed onto Usagi's lap with a plop. At this, the waterworks were released as she looked up at him pleadingly. "Ok! Ok! If I do whatever it is that that little blackmailing mind of yours wants me to, do you promise that I don't have to clean this all up?" Mamoru smirked. "Yup." With a sigh and one last look at that chocolate cake on her lap she looked up at him. "Ok...what is?" "You have to come with me to the beach tomorrow with one of my guy friends and his girlfriend. You can bring along your friends if you want to. And also..." But he stopped when Usagi burst into laughter. She had just sat there blinking with her chocolate covered face and a chocolate cake resting on her lap. Then she burst out laughing, which made the cake fall to the ground beside her. "THAT'S your condition?! Mr. Chiba...you've got yourself a deal." "Hold on...I wasn't through. And also...you have to wear a bikini." At this, her laughter stopped. "OH NO!" she shook her head. "NO, NO, and NO! I am NOT going to wear a bikini! My bathing suits consist of shorts and a shirt. Nothing more." Mamoru just shrugged. "Well, ok. The mops in the little pantry over there. And make sure you scrub the floor, because I think all that chocolate is sticking to it." Hiding a smile, he turned around and was about to walk out when her exasperated sigh stopped him. "Ok...ok you little baka. I'll wear a bikini. Although, I don't own any." He turned around and grinned. "Oh no problem! We'll go to the mall today after we go grocery shopping. Bring your friends along, too, since we both don't have any experience of what kind of bathing suit you should wear." She merely nodded solemnly. Heading back out of the kitchen, he paused midway. Looking behind his shoulder at Usagi, he chuckled. "And oh...by the way...my mom always hires me a maid since she doesn't think I can live without money. You didn't have to clean up the mess to begin with." Laughing, he walked towards his room. Usagi fell out of her chair as she landed...well her face anyway...on the cake. She had the sinking feeling that for the third time that day...she was going to faint. * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = HAHAHA!

I won't wear it ... nope ... !* End of Flashback *! Now they were in Makoto's car driving towards the beach while Usagi was still grumbling. "How do you guys make me do these things?!" Makoto and Ami were sitting in the front, whilst Usagi, Rei, and Minako were stuffed in the back with all of the other beach things that Minako had "FELT" they needed to bring. Mamoru, fortunately for Usagi, wasn't there when they went shopping for Usagi's bikini. He had to go grocery shopping ... again ... and had told them that he would meet them there. They had singled out a baby blue bikini with a top piece that would tie in the back and the bottom piece tying on each side near the hips for Usagi. Rei and Minako also wore a two piece suit, as Makoto and Ami wore a one piece. At this thought, Usagi wailed. "Why do YOU guys get to wear a one piece?!" She pouted as Ami turned around in her seat to look at her pouting friend and grinned. "Because...we're not the one's who want to impress a certain, raven haired Mamoru." Usagi blushed as she looked down at her hands sheepishly ... suddenly finding it to be VERY interesting. It was true. She really DID want to impress him. But the whole bikini thing was too much. She felt so insecure about her body and always thought that she didn't have the right curves or a big enough bust line. No one knew about her insecurity towards her body, not even her friends and family! Rei, seeming to sense her uneasiness, smiled and laid a comforting hand on Usagi's shoulder. "Don't worry, Usa-chan. You'll knock him dead." Usagi smiled at her with gratitude. Turning towards the window, however, she frowned. 'I hope. Please ... don't let him break my heart.' Her latest ex-boyfriend (which was 3 years ago) had used her and dumped her for an older, more mature woman. The gang knew about this and wanted to kick his ass for hurting her so. But what they didn't know was what he had said to her to make her so unsure about herself. !* Flashback *! "You didn't really think that I LOVED you, now did you? Why would I love you when I could have this woman, Beryl, that has it all ... the curves, the bosom ... everything! And not to mention she is a hell lot more mature than you. Look at you. My little sister looks more like a woman than you." yelled Brian, her ex, as he swung his arm around a red-headed woman who looked down at her with a grin as she kissed him on his cheek. Usagi was on the ground, holding onto her cheek where he had just moments ago slapped her. Tears streamed down her soft cheeks as Brian just spat on her face and with a grin walked away. She had laid there, sobbing her heart out, until her friends had discovered her there and walked her home. When they heard about what had happened, excluding his harsh words to her of course, they wanted to hunt him down and kill him. But Usagi assured them that she was fine and not to worry about it. !* End of Flashback *! But now it was 3 years later, and she felt like she was still a child. So she hid her body in men's clothes and started to act like a tomboy. Unbeknownst to her, though, was that she was rapidly growing into a woman ... and she had all the body and the curves that every man dreamed of. "We're here." said Makoto as she turned off the engine and opened her door to get the things out. Usagi jumped a little, as she was snapped back into reality. Shaking her head, she got out as well. Over her bikini, she had worn black short shorts and a baby blue halter top ... the girl's of course made her wear it. She frowned as she took her towel and wrapped it around her body. "Man! I feel so naked! How can you guys stand wearing things like this?!" Rei just laughed and shrugged as she threw the beach ball at Usagi. Catching it, she smirked. Rei only grumbled as she took the beach umbrellas and the cooler and followed the rest towards the beach. Sighing, Usagi balanced the beach ball on her (curvaceous) hips and followed suite. Her hair was in her usual odangos ... but it had been a while since she worn it that way. Shoving her Gucci sunglasses on top of her head she ran after them. "Hm ... where are they?" asked Minako, as she looked around exasperated. Her arms were getting tired because SHE had to carry the chairs and not to mention the picnic basket. Noticing that Usagi was hardly carrying anything, she was about to give her the basket ... but then sweatdropped. She knew that she was just going to eat all the food in it, so, instead she gave Usagi 3 of the chairs. Usagi didn't seem to mind, as she swung the little ropes attached to it onto her shoulder with ease. "AH! There they are!" exclaimed Ami as she made her way towards them. Mamoru was sitting down on a beach towel, completely surrounded by women. Usagi frowned not liking what she saw. 'Whoa! Since when do I care if Mamoru hung out with women or not?!' 'Ever since you first set eyes on him. You're jealous ...' At this, Usagi's eyes widened as she stopped dead on her tracks. For three years she had never dated ... and only hung out with the guys as friends (although they did occasionally hit on her). But now, here she was, being jealous over some guy that she only knew for 2 days! Grumbling, Usagi trudged over towards the girls who were already setting the things down next to Mamoru and a blonde haired man. * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = Mamoru * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = Mamoru plastered a fake grin on his face as the girls asked him if he could maybe rub lotion on them. Mamoru merely sighed and politely declined. They gave him a seductive pout along with puppy-dog eyes and it only irritated him even more. All of a sudden, a picture of a certain blonde, danced in his head as he remembered how her luscious lips had pouted up at him when she had found out that she had to "clean up" the mess in the kitchen. She was so innocent and there was just something about her that made him want her even more. Suddenly an umbrella plopped down beside him. Looking up, he squinted seeing a raven haired girl scowling at the girls, who in return, scowled back. Suddenly Makoto appeared beside Rei, which made the girls back away. With a sexy smile towards him, they walked away. Mamoru raised a brow wondering what THAT was all about. He wasn't sure, but he could've bet his life that Rei said something about Usagi being HIS girl. He should've been mad, furious even because he didn't think of ANY girl being "his" much less him liking any girl ... but just the thought of Usagi being his and ONLY his ... made him smile with pride. He furrowed his brows and looked behind Rei and Makoto to see Ami and Mina setting the umbrella and beach towels. "Er ... where's Usagi?" Suddenly a certain blonde came into view and he could only gape. There she was ... wearing short shorts and a halter top with her hair in a weird ... but yet adorable hairstyle. Looking at her long, smooth legs made him gulp and he could've sworn that it was getting hotter outside. She had all the right curves, the fullest chest he had ever laid eyes on ... and he could only wonder how a girl, WOMAN actually, could hide all of THAT merely by wearing baggy clothes. He didn't notice the girls smirking at his expression, nor did he notice Reika and Motoki glancing towards Usagi with curious expressions. No ... all he noticed was the angel that was slowly walking towards him. Stopping down to drop the chairs she was carrying and to throw Makoto the beach ball, she stopped and frowned, wondering why everyone was staring at her. "Nani? Is there something on my face of something?" she asked. Motoki broke the silence as he cleared his throat and chuckled. "I don't think Mamoru introduced us to any of you. Names Motoki and this is my girlfriend Reika." he said proudly as he looked down at her with a warm smile, who in turn looked up at him with adoration. This caused Usagi to wince outwardly, since the picture laid out in front of her looked so much like her ex and that girl, Beryl. This, however, went out undetected since the girl's were busy introducing themselves and Usagi. Everyone, that is, besides Mamoru. 'Hm ... she's hiding something." was all he thought. Suddenly her eyes laid on his, and their eyes locked for what seemed like forever. But a feminine giggle made them both jump as they looked to Minako who looked at Usagi first then Mamoru, back to Usagi, then Mamoru, and back to Usagi. "Er... heh heh ..." Mamoru said uneasily as he sweatdropped. "Who wants to go for a dip?" "Me!" they all said except for Minako and Usagi. Usagi merely shook her head and sat down on her beach towel. Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out a book, which got Ami's attention. "Oh no you don't! No reading for you!" said Makoto as she grabbed Ami's arm and led her towards the water. Rei turned towards Minako expectantly. "Well...? Why don't YOU want to swim?!" Minako only sweatdropped as she looked towards Rei, Mamoru, and his friends ... who were all raising their eyebrows with a knowing smirk. "Heh ... heh ... well you see ... I sorta kinda don't really ... er ... know how to swim." she blushed a crimson red as she looked down sheepishly at the sand. Rei sighed and threw her hands up. "Then WHY did you even come?" Minako then perked up and smiled. "Well DUH, Rei-chan! EVERYBODY goes to the beach to scope out hotties. That's what beaches are for!" and with a giggle she set out towards a nearby lifeguard. They all sweatdropped, except for Usagi, who was trying to ignore all of them, especially Mamoru, as she continued reading her book. "Oh come on, Usagi! Not you too! Come swimming with us!" Rei shouted as she pointed towards Makoto and Ami who were already having a swimming contest going on. "Er ... I'd rather not." "And why not?!" Rei exclaimed as she set her hands onto her hips. "Because ... I don't look right in a bikini." Usagi blushed and miserably ducked her face deeper into the book. Finally, Mamoru spoke as he smirked. "Of course you do! You look beautiful." Usagi blushed even redder as she looked up at him ... trying to see if he really meant what he said or if he said that to every single girl he met. But instead, all she saw was sincerity and grinned. "Alright ..." she whispered. Rei, knowing that her mission was complete, went to join Makoto and Ami. "Er ... do you guys mind turning around?" Usagi asked, as she looked towards Mamoru and Motoki who's eyes were transfixed on her long, slim legs. Reika nudged Motoki ... HARD ... on his ribs as she winked at Usagi and dragged him towards the water. Usagi turned towards Mamoru expectantly, but he just crossed his arms in front of his chest giving her the "I'm-not-turning-around" look. Rolling her eyes and grumbling, Usagi took off her halter top as well as her shorts. Blushing, she took the towel and was about to wrap it around her until Mamoru's hand caught her wrist. "You look beautiful ..." he said rather huskily. Looking up into his eyes, Usagi inwardly sucked in her breath at what she saw. He was looking at her with such longing that it made her feel all warm inside and made her feel as if she REALLY WAS beautiful. Blushing again, she looked down at her feet. Taking her chin in his hand, he tilted her head up to look at him and smirked. "May I take the pleasure in rubbing lotion on you?" he asked with a sly grin. This seemed to break the tension as Usagi laughed and punched him lightly on the shoulder. "No ... it's ok ... I'll manage." she said as she took the lotion and began rubbing it onto her arms and legs. "Ah ... but I INSIST." and taking the lotion out of her grasp, made her sit still while he rubbed the lotion onto her back. She tried to hide a smile, as she closed her eyes and bathed in the sun's warm rays as his hands rubbed the lotion all over her back. She signed contentedly and hadn't the faintest clue on what that simple action had done to Mamoru. He gulped as he rubbed the suntan lotion all over her soft skin. It felt baby soft and it could put the softest silk to shame. Hearing her sigh, he stopped and looked down at her profile. She had her eyes closed, and was unconsciously laying her head onto his shoulder. He felt like kissing her right then and there ... to clear all the stars that seemed to blind him seeing her like this. But he pushed all of it aside and grinned. "Wanna go swimming now?" he whispered into her ears as he snaked his arms around her waist. She suddenly opened her eyes, now noticing JUST how close they were. Blushing, she pushed him away from her and nodded. They were about to go for a swim until a man came up to Usagi and smiled. Usagi blushed, since this man was devilishly handsome. Mamoru noticing this, growled and glared down at the man. He didn't even notice him as he took Usagi's hand and escorted her towards a nearby ice-cream stand. He could hear him asking for her name and complimenting on her looks which made him grow even more angry. "Hmph ... seems like someone is jealous." said Motoki as he stood next to him glaring at the man who apparently had Usagi laughing. At this thought, Mamoru's eyes widened. He couldn't be jealous ..... could he?!! Growling he walked towards the other girls. "This day didn't go as I planned." he mumbled. Motoki could only smile. "Well from what I saw ... BOTH of you have it bad. I say you try to make her jealous." and with a chuckle he ran towards his Reika. "Hm...." turning around he saw the man and Usagi sitting on her beach towel, eating ice cream and talking. "...I might just do that." With one more painful glance towards them, he walked into the cold water. He needed to do some laps to calm his nerves, or there was no telling what he was going to do to that man. Him clobbering the hell out of him did find its way into his mind. But resisting that urge, he swam ... a plan plastering itself into his mind consisting of him, another girl, and hopefully ... a jealous Usagi. He didn't want to think about it ... but he was falling in love with her.

Ami and Minako were already inside; Ami reading the book that she "begged" (although she claimed that she did no such thing, and that going onto her knees was only her way of persuading people into letting her borrow their things) Usagi into letting her borrow, whilst Minako was drooling over the piece of paper that the lifeguard had generously given her. Usagi sweatdropped remembering what had happened earlier on that day. !* Flashback * ! "So...you're a lifeguard, eh? You have a undeniably nice body." Minako said, as she twirled her hair around her finger and smiled seductively at the lifeguard. He solely ignored the blonde who was clearly attempting to hit on him, as he sighed and took the binoculars on his lap to watch the swimmers. Minako fumed. 'How dare he ignore me like that! Can't he see that I'm flirting here!!' the voice inside of Minako yelled. Suddenly, a man with spikey blonde hair came up to her and grinned. She looked at the fairly cute boy next to her, and the handsome lifeguard and sighed. 'Might as well flirt with this one. I mean you never know! You could make the lifeguard jealous! OOOO, Minako, girl...you're a GENIUS!!" "Hey...name's Kevin...wanna go for a swim?" he asked. At this, Minako sweatdropped. "There goes the whole "jealous" idea." she muttered underneath her breath as an image of her drowning didn't honestly fit in her category of "making cute lifeguard's jealous". "Er...maybe some other time. By the way, name's Minako." she smiled, and looked up, hoping to see a rather envious lifeguard. But instead, the sides of his mouth twitched, as if he was trying his best not to laugh. She got even more irritated. Grabbing the surprised boy's hand, she stomped towards the beach...not really thinking and ran in. All of a sudden, she started screaming. "AAAHHH!! I'M DROWNING!! HELP! HELP!" The boy only looked down at her as if she had just lost her mind! "HAVEN'T YOU EVER SEEN A DROWNING WOMAN BEFORE!! HELP ME YOU BAKA!" she shouted up at him. He sweatdropped. "Er...try standing up." Minako stopped her mad "swimming skills" and stood up. She looked towards the lifeguard who was already doubling over with laughter. She flushed from the embarrassment as she fought the urge to thwap that lifeguard. Trudging out of the water, she ignored the laughter coming from the gang. Walking over towards them, they stopped laughing as they saw the look on her face and immediately grew uncomfortable, making excuses to get far, FAR away from the enraged blondey. Grabbing a towel and clutching it around her petite body, she fought the urge to cry as she could feel the hot tears stinging the back of her eyes. She jumped, as she felt a hand land on her shoulder and quickly turned around. Behind her, stood the lifeguard in all of his handsome glory as he slipped a piece of white paper into her hands, and with a wink walked back to his post. Looking down at the paper, she smiled knowing that he had just made her day. The note read: Hey, name's Anthony. Call me sometime. 997-6364. Ja! !* End of Flashback *! Sighing, she shook her head and closed the trunk. All throughout the day, Mamoru had plain out ignored her. She was confused since he seemed to have been interested in her (although, in her opinion, she probably wasn't all that much to look at) to pretending she didn't even exist! The guy she was with turned out to be a complete jerk, who wanted her only for "intimate passions". After he made moves on her and tried to kiss her, she without hesitation, kneed him in his most sacred spot. Of course she didn' tell the gang about it, and just merely told them that he was just a jerk and left it at that. Getting into Makoto's car, she sighed looking out the window. Mamoru had said that he wanted to stay behind muttering something about wanting to watch the sunset with Motoki and his girlfriend, Reika. Grimacing, she didn't even recall him looking at her. It was as if he was trying NOT to look at her. She was without a doubt confused. She had NO IDEA what she had done to set him in such a mood, and dwelling on it, just gave her a major migraine. She groaned and thumped her head against the window. Life had never been so complicated! Life could throw anything at her, but she had always been able to go on. But then again...life had never thrown Chiba Mamoru at her. And she knew that somewhere, fate must've sighed with irritation at the girl's stubbornness to realize that she was RAPIDLY and DEEPLY falling for a certain midnight haired, blue eyed, muscle-toned, ruthlessly handsome Mamoru. * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = Mamoru had decided to stay at the beach with Motoki and Reika, muttering some lame excuse about wanting to see the sunset to Usagi and the gang. Truthfully, he needed some time to sort through all of these weird feelings all jumbled up inside of him whenever a certain meatball-headed blondey came within a few inches of him. Sighing with frustration, he rubbed his temples and ignored the amused gaze that Motoki threw at him. "You have it bad, Mamoru. But why do I have a feeling that you have something up your sleeve?" Motoki asked, raising a brow. Mamoru cursed beneath his breath at his friend's whole "I know you too well, Mamoru" act. Groaning, he sometimes wished that Motoki would for once in his life just shut up. "Maybe it's because I do." was all Mamoru replied as he leaned back, allowing his elbows to support his whole body weight, suddenly finding the setting sun to be quiet interesting. "Uh huh....spill..." Motoki said, getting into the same position as Mamoru, but instead watching Reika with genuine interest. "Well...." Mamoru started off slowly, as he raked his hand through his hair, which he didn't know that he tended to do whenever he was either irritated or nervous. "...I was wondering if you by any chance knew a pretty girl that wouldn't mind playing as my girlfriend to make Usagi...well...jealous," he looked down at his feet, embarrassed at the fact that he was pretty much confessing that he was falling for Usagi to Motoki. If he had looked up, he would've noticed Motoki biting his bottom lip to keep from laughing. 'Hm...guess Mamoru didn't see Usagi "decline" the pretty boy that she was with.' Frowning, he recalled Mamoru ignoring Usagi all throughout that day. Mamoru was hurt because he thought that she liked the other boy, and Usagi was hurt because he was ignoring her giving her the impression that he wasn't interested in her in the least. He groaned inwardly ... 'Being in love is so complicated!' But casting a look at Reika as she splashed in the water, a smile slowly crept up his lips. 'But...very worthwhile.' With an evil grin, he slapped his hand against Mamoru's back. "Well...I don't know why you would ask me for a girl that wouldn't "mind" pretending to be your girlfriend when you have every single girl on the earth's population, excluding my Reika of course, on their knees kissing your feet." Mamoru merely rolled his eyes, and growled. "You just HAD to remind me, didn't you?" Motoki chuckled. "Well...what are best friends for?" "When I asked you that, I was actually referring to a girl that didn't FAWN over me, and our relationship is more friend like...and...Argh! This is too complicated! You seem to have this freakish ability to read my mind! You know what I mean." Motoki smirked. He knew what he meant alright. Mamoru didn't want a girl that considered him a God and worshiped the air her breathed. Instead he wanted someone that treated him like a human being, so that whenever he slung an arm around her in front of Usagi, she wouldn't blow his and her cover by fainting. He frowned. But the only girl that acted that way around Mamoru was his Reika and Usagi...not to mention her gang. He smiled again, remembering one other woman. "What about Haruka?" Mamoru looked at Motoki incredulously at the mention of the name. "NANI?! B...but...she's too...too..." "Manly?" At this Motoki laughed. "Well ok...what about Michiru?" Mamoru seemed thoughtful at first, till a blush crept up his neck to his cheeks. "But aren't Michiru and Haruka..well.."ahem"...lovers?" Motoki frowned. He forgot all about that. "What about Setsuna then?" Mamoru suddenly smiled. "Ah..that'll work." The rest of that evening was spent planning their little "scheme". Motoki had called Setsuna on Mamoru's cell phone and after MUCH persuasion and "begging" on Mamoru's part...she reluctantly agreed. Mamoru found himself eager for the next day, the day in which their plan would be put into action. !* The Next Day *! The sun's rays descended into a certain bedroom which lovingly seemed to caress a certain fair-headed Usagi. Her long hair sprawled all about her pillow thus making it seem as if weaves of gold were sprawled tenderly across it. It twined adoringly against one of her long fingers, and wrapped around her body as if it was a second skin. Her ivory-like skin seemed to bathe itself in the sun's presence, and this is exactly how Mamoru found her. He took a sharp intake of breath at the Goddess-like appearance that, unbeknownst to Usagi, she innocently made whenever she slept. 'Oh hell!' he thought. 'She looks like a Goddess no matter if she's conscious or not!' Leaning against the door frame, he was contented in just watching her sleep...that is until she stirred and moaned softly. He quietly and quickly shut the door behind him as he rushed towards the kitchen. His cheeks fiery red and hot to the touch, as he cursed beneath his breath at the fact that he had never blushed merely on innocent things. But his whole life was turned upside down when the Goddess came into his life. Suddenly a knock came at the door. He grinned. "Finally..." he mumbled as he swung the door open to reveal a long, green-haired woman dressed in a purple-like business suit. "Well...well...well...if it isn't Chiba Mamoru." she smiled as he merely smirked at her. "Well...well...well if it isn't Meiou Setsuna." At this, she laughed. "So are we going to mock each other all day...or are you going to let me in and introduce me to this lovely lady that you described with colorful taste of words to me yesterday?" * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = Opening one eye, she moaned as she slung an arm over her eyes, trying in vain to block the sun's rays. She would've loved having the sun in her face at any other time...except on mornings. And she was definitely NOT a morning person. Morning. The most hated word in her vocabulary..which she sweatdropped...wasn't all that vast. Oh wait, she hated the word "detention", too. Ok..so the SECOND most hated word in her vocabulary. Oh wait!! She couldn't forget the TWO MOST hated word in her vocabulary..."NO FOOD". She shuddered. Ok..so the THIRD most hated word...oh and wait!! She growled. Ok..let's just put it at this...she hated the word morning among other words. She smiled in satisfaction at her ingenious way of settling a debate...even though it was just a silent dispute going on through her head. Groaning, she stood up from her bed and proceeded to do her usual morning stretches. It was the only thing that could keep her awake, with the exception of strong, STRONG coffee, of course. With a satisfied grin, she made her way towards the bathroom, and what she saw shocked her! Her hair was...*gulp*...down! In other words...it wasn't in it's usual, tight bun. She had completely forgotten all about the LITTLE "make-over" that the girls had given her yesterday, in which, she wasn't going to admit anytime soon, that she quite liked the way men seemed to gape at her new appearance...preferably Mamoru, though. Frowning, she grabbed the nearest hair tie and bunched her hair into a huge ((since she DOES after all have LONG hair...^^;)) bun. She scowled seeing stray wisps of locks escape, but barely paid any attention to it due to the knock at the front door. Peeking her head around the hallway corner, she saw a glimpse of what seemed to be dark, green hair and purple...high heeled shoes. She couldn't make out the words that were being exchanged between Mamoru and the...woman...much to her dismay, and just silently crept back into her room, not wanting to take the chance of being found snooping... er..."investigating". Slipping out of her nightgown, she quickly slipped on a huge plain, red shirt, and baggy khaki jeans. Trying to persuade her stubborn, envious mind that the woman visiting his...THEIR...dorm room was probably just an old friend...or better yet...his SISTER! Grinning she walked over towards the kitchen with renewed confidence. But what she saw shattered what was left of her so called "self-confidence". * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = Aww!!
