Hiya everyone! I got a webgate for my website so you don�t have to remember such a long url. It is www.geocities.com/dlvanime Here is ch.6 of Scouts Honor! Chapter 6 of Scouts Honor Leaving Makoto�s apartment, Usagi found that she didn�t quit want to go home yet, not so soon after seeing Ami. *Time to go to the arcade, I suppose* The door chimes jingled, signaling to Motoki that he had another customer. Glancing up he saw Usagi, and concern showed on his face. She sniffled, then asked him, "Motoki? Could I have a Chocolate Milkshake with Sprinkles please?" Seating herself at the counter, she leaned her head against the cool plastic. The door chimes jingled again�*Why is -he- here?* Without turning around, Usagi waved her hand in a shooing motion, "Go away Mamoru. I really can�t deal with you today." *How do I know it is him?* Motoki handed her the shake she ordered. Whispering her thanks, she sipped on it slowly, unknowing of the conversation that flew above her head. *Go away!* Motoki�s eyes shouted to Mamoru. Ignoring the warning, Mamoru paced up to right behind Usagi�s seat. "Hello Odango! How are you on this fine, fine day?" With that, Usagi slowly turned around. *He. Is. So. DEAD! But�Heiscute!Don�tdoanythingyouwouldregret!* Ignoring the pesky inner voice, Usagi gave Mamoru the death stare. "What did you say?" Prepared for sobs, Mamoru was shocked. "Because you really picked the wrong day." Her eyes dared him to ask why. Figuring to go for broke, Mamoru took the bait. "And why is that?" Shifting off her counter seat, she looked him in the eye. Starting to get scared, Mamoru looked down, away from the �you-are-so-dead� stare. Noticing her bandaged finger, he was about to ask how she hurt herself when suddenly he blurted out "Why does your uniform have blood on it?" Her nerves cracked under the stress of being a senshi, school, lying to her parents, Ami being hurt, and now, Mamoru noticing the evidence of Ami�s injury. Bursting out in tears she collapsed. Literally. Folding up like a rag doll, she hit the floor and did nothing to stop the impact. Shocked, Mamoru stood still for a second. But only a second. Scooping up her limp body, he strode to the back room. Motoki watched him hopefully. *Maybe she finally got through to him this time." The door clicked shut and Mamoru sat down on the couch, still holding Usagi. Rocking her back and forth, he was at a loss. *What do I do? Poor Usagi, I wonder what she has been going through�" Her tears slowly subsided, but she still clung to him. Nestling closer, she grew silent. *What do I tell him?* But even that question did not hold much urgency. Sighing, she looked up and slowly, body protesting, clambered out of his lap and sat down on the couch. Silence reigned for a few minutes, and finally Usagi broke it. "Do you know much about doctoring?" Puzzled, Mamoru truthfully replied, "Well, I am studying to be one and right now I work part time at a hospital. I know quite a bit. Why do you ask?" "Can you keep a secre�" She was cut off by screams in the arcade, followed by a roar. "A youma!" She heard Mamoru gasp. *No time to figure out how he knows what it is called!* "Stay here Mamoru!" Bolting away, she jumped out of a window. Hiding behind a dumpster, she transformed. Calling the other senshi on her communicator, she sprinted off to the front of the arcade to make her presence known. Mamoru jumped up when he saw Usagi leave, and was about to follow her when he felt the call of Sailor Moon. Transforming silently, he opened the door from the back room to the arcade and watched. "I am Sailor Moon, and in the Name of the Moon, I will punish you!" Finishing her speech, she called out "Moon Tiara Magic!" It barely missed the slimy green monster, and flew around to her hand. "Blasted potato peeler injury. It screwed up my aim!" She muttered. "Blasted potato peeler injury. It screwed up my aim!" Tuxedo Kamen heard Usagi mutter, but the significance did not hit him. Stepping out of the shadows, he threw a rose, without making a speech. It distracted the youma long enough for Jupiter�s attack to hit it. "Jupiter Thunder Crash!" The monster was stunned enough for Sailor Moon to dust it. "Good work Sailor Moon." The dark voice floated down to Usagi�s ears. *That voice seems familiar�Where have I heard it?* |
