So if you haven’t read it please do. That all I really have to say. Please R/R. Now on with the story *~_~* The Bousen: Usagi vs. Mamoru Recap: Mamoru got Haruka and Usagi in trouble nobody saw them for a week. They had changed and became immersed in training. Week after they were seen again... “Hey Odango!” Mamoru yelled from down the hall. Usagi continued on with out a glance of acknowledgement. Mamoru ran up to. He reached out and grabbed Usagi arm. “Odango why didn’t you stop when I called out to you.” Mamoru asked. “Are you talking to me?” Usagi whispered in a monotone voice. “Well yeah who else do I call Odango?” He shrugged sheepishly. “Would you take your hand off me?” She said in the same voice. He slowly complied giggling nervously. ‘I can’t believe I didn’t let go.’ “Good.” And with a blur of motion Mamoru was pinned up against the wall. “What the Hell?! Usagi what is wrong with you?!” Usagi gave him a cold smile. Her eyes were devoid of all emotion. “Nothing is wrong with me, but something will be seriously wrong with you if you keep calling me that yowamiso.” And with she dropped him on the floor. ‘What’s wrong with her. Her eyes were... blank.’ Mamoru shook his head and walked off. Elsewhere in the castle... “Hey Haruka.” Mike said falling in line with her steps. “What?” In the same monotone voice. ‘I just wanted to...to...*gulp to...to...to...to...*gulp* *Okay Mike you can do this*. I wanted to apologize.” By the time he finally got his apologize out Haruka was gone. “Damn it!” He swore under his breath. The whole castle had noticed but no one dared to say anything because they all had seen Haruka and Usagi training and no one would wish that on their worse enemies. It continued like this for the next few years. By that time Rei and her guards, Ami, Minako, Michiru, and Setsuna had started training earning praises from Serenity as the progressed just like the prince and his guards had. Praises that she never gave her daughters even when the reached a new strength. And the years went on and they became colder to everyone, well everyone in the palace. Mamoru and his guards were sent to a private school that would teach them how to rule and advise, etc. at the age of sixteen. “By Mom, Dad, Rei girls.” The each said their goodbyes. In the training room... “They’re leaving Ruka.” Usagi whispered from her position at the window. ‘You are going to miss him aren’t you?’ “Good rid dens if you ask me. Don‘t you agree?” Haruka said but inside she felt a pang of longing. Usagi just silently nodded her to what question she was answering she did not know. Four years they had went to the school and four years they had suffered. When he went home for holidays there was always a glimmer of hope he might see her but she never appeared. From what they had heard they were liked ghost in the castle you never saw them but you knew they were there. Either training eating or they would just plain disappear. From what he heard they had taken on a student of their own and he and his friends were going back today for good. The glimmer of hope was still there. “Mamoru my baby.” Queen Cassandra squealed as he stepped out of the carriage. She was babbling about something. A ball for his return. Mamoru attention wasn’t on his mother however. It was looking for a certain girl. “So the ball is tonight okay?” “Tonight Mother I just got home...” He was tired and didn’t want to go to the ball but by the look she was giving him didn’t leave any room to argue. ‘ Maybe she will be there.’ To be continued.... I know boring chapter but it had to be done. Next chapter the ball A grown up Usagi and Haruka appear and Mamoru introduces a friend he brought with him. I promise it will be more exciting.
