^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

It has been somewhere around a month since Makoto's death. And yet it seemed like an eternity that condemed me to pain just when I was feeling better.

Yeah, I had visited the school shrink. Yet all I could tell her was that one of my best friends was killed, that the police wanted something from me which I could not give, and that my only romantic relationship(even though that hadn't be solidified) was in possible jepordy. Over all, it had done shit all to relieve me. Then again nothing really could.

As I now walked out the gates, and into my destinty I had the sinking feeling that not everything was alright.

A wonderful sight greeted me at those gates, or just close to them though. That sight was like a statue of well chiseled marble. Seemingly hard yet soft. That sight was of my darling mamoruu. Okay so this might not be good, but it might be benificial. In the end if the leaders are getting along well then our families might too.

I smiled, and grabbed the now baby pink helmet that also had a white rabbitoutlined in blue...my emblum, on it. It might be Mamoru's idea of a joke, but I found it sweet that he would think to personalize it to me. it was like a symbol that he planned to keep me around. Or maybe that I was trophy to show off. I really didn't know which one it was. ButI prefered the priorm so I latched it upon me and hopped onto his bike. Glad to be free for even a second, to have it just that simple.

That reality came to a stop as we hit our first red light. I was not content to wait, yet I knew that the cops, now having a task of me, would be like a shark, they wouldn't rest and were hungry for blood. They want to devour me, even if they don't know it is me that they are looking for. And so, I kept my mouth shut and worked though breathing exercises.

The funny thing though was that in this time of waiting, I felt an odd sort of peace that I had been missing. I wished this could last forever.


^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

I took Usagi home and although the whole trip was done in utter silence; a deeper connection was made between us. This revalation between us though meant nothing for the simple fact that it was our followers that would choose, not us. This was a game of survival of the fittest.

I arrived at my apartment 10 minutes after dropping her off. I was sure that I had a goofy smile on my face. You know the one that just screams 'In Love'. It was funny though, because before Usako (As I liked to think of her) I hated the word 'love' with a passion. No, wait, I DISPISED the word love. Maybe because I've never known the feeling before. All in all that made me think and so even as I now sat there I absent mindedly grabbed the paper and recided to read.

It was not soon after I grabbed the paper that I was the ad. It read: 'Feeling confused? Need to talk? If your over 18 I can keep everything you say quiet. If your not, then I might have to tell. But I'll be there to talk. My name is Heart Deena((A.N: last name first)). Call me for an appointment at 555-7313'.

After reading that I smiled slightly. At least she was honest. And so I decided to phone, hoping that it wouldn't be too late to get an appointment with her.

After dialing the # that was at the bottom of the ad, it started to ring in my ear. I was nervous about this because I tended to be an introver. I liked to solve my problems by myself. But it was just getting advice, right?

"Yello, Deena speaking. How can I help you?" the voice said while startling me from my thoughts. It was most definately a female voice.

"Hi, this is Chiba mamoru and I was caling to book an appointment." I said using my false calm voice. Okay, so I was starting to sake like a leaf inside. Your point being?

"Thats okay. And since I just moved to here, you can have the bonus of an open schedual book so far!" She sounded slightly cheerful, but yet it was almost a cynical joke.

"Wow. So when can we meet? I'd like it to be soon though." O saod to her. For some reason though this person seemed odd. I couldn't place what was off though.

"If you want we can meet as quick as it takes for you to my office." She offered as nicely as possible. This was starting to get agreeable.

"Sure, just give me the address and I'll be right there." I said. I was calmer now, and not shaking at all. I still thought she was odd though.

"1000 cresent road, office 7b" the voice said now. I jotted this down and smiled.

"Okay Ms Heart. I'll be there shortly" I said.

"I look forward to it" she answered in return.


^_^ Deena's PoV ^_^ ((A.N: wow, another persons PoV!))

I had just gotten my 5th call. It was amazing what publishing could do for you. But this call was different; this woung man on the other side struck me as a little off. Although I freely admirt that a feww people seem to think that of me. So I shrugged it off. And decided to write about those I had seen today.

'Tsukino Usagi' I started with. She was from the school I helped with. 'Young girkl who seems to carry a great deal upon her sholders. Poswsibly resulting from the deatn of her friend Makoto.' I continued, only to conclude with some more.

'Usagi also seems to have many worries, most likely is also a stressed individual. This was not helped by the arrival of the police asking her questions that she could not give them answers to, or it is my belief that she COULD answer them, but maybe in deeper if she did. Add to this romantic problems and you have Tsukino Usagi, who is in a need of truth, love; and a ralaxing Vactation.'

No sosoner had I just finished the reposrt and put it in the folder that was clearly marked with her name across the top...there was a knock at the door.

'Aww....that must be Chiba Mamoru!' my mind exclaimed and so for the moment i abandoned my work and went to the door; to be rewarded with the sight of a gorgous male.


^_^ Mamoru's PoV ^_^

I knocked on thedoor that required just one questioned lead to find and was slightly distraught at the person before me. For she had nearly black hair, and brown/green eyes that were not exactly hazle. I would have thought her hair was black if I hadn't seen mine before. She was only about 5 inches shorter then me, and DEFINATLY not from around here. As if her name didn't give that away.

"Mr.Chiba I presume?" She then asked of me or was it more of a statement? I don't know.

"Miss Heart" I said in return as she now stepped aside, for the first time allowing me into the room. What awaited me was quite an interesting sight.

The walls and ceilings seemed to be black along with the carpet, but the walls and ceiling also seemed to be covered with silver, gold, yellow and white sprinkles upon them. On the top of the roof was a realistic painting of the moon. In the black carpet there was wolven strands of silver and gold. In addition on one side of the room; the left sife fearthest from the door... was about 30 huge gold, silver, black and grey pillows that could also be called cushions.

Along the wall there was 2 shleves full of physcological things and some fantasy/sci fi novels. And then there was the desk, that seemed to be painted to match the rooms walls. Beside the desk was a silver chair, that was of non-rolly decent. There was also a gold colored filing cabnet and that was about all the actual funiture. Unless you want to add the computer on the desk that seemed to also be made to fit the rooms decor.

As I glanced across the room again I spotted something on the desk. A folder. And I started to walk towards it, then froze as I saw the name it was labled with: My Usako's.

"Have a seat Mr. Chiba" she now said gesturing towards the soft pile of pillows. I nodded, only half paying attention until she moved and then picked up the file and put it into the cabnet. I wondered now why Usako has seen her, I wondered why I wasn't told.

Once again I was brought from my thoughts by her voice. "Now just talk about anything you want. I'm ready" Is what she said. I found this slightly amusing. This wasn't the classic shrink, or shrinks office. And I liked that.

"Well you see I really care about this girl, and she really is wonderful. The thing is though we're kind of like 'Romeo and Juliet'. If we got together without settling things there could be horrible conequences." That was how I started out explaining to 'Deena' as she seemed to like being called, my romantic life.

I really didn't mean to compare Usako and I to 'Romeo and Juliet' because it was all too close to reality. With her friend dieing and our possible death if our 'families' didn't get along. It was just a little too real. I just hoped that we wouldn't have to kill oir selves to prove our love.

Deena smiled at the pause, then spoke up for the first time since I started talking. This pause had come from my finishing my explaination about me and Usako. "Relationships are frickle things; and so in that respect is love. In all history there is always someone who does not want love to be taken place between two individuals. Yet often this is overcome, sadly sometimes by death. As in the forementioned case of 'Romeo and Juliet'. I do not however compare you to those loveres for shakespeare was an expert on mouring tragic and cynical romances. I shall not compare you to anyone, but just know that I believe you two shall be together." It seemed like a long way to say a simple thing, but in a small way; it comfprted me.


^_^ Usagi's PoV ^_^

I had just settled in at the counter in the Crown when I heard the tinkle of the bells announcing another person. And as the strong smell of roses nowwaifted itself over to me, I only knew one person who gave off that smell. Although I didn't turn around I could simply feel that it was him. As I sat there listening to hisprogress towards me, that was so agonizingly slow I smiled. His hands then snaked themselves over my eyes and he whispered in a deep voice. "Guess Who".

I giggled then "Hmmmmm, lets see..." I started. "A very handsome guy. And he has dark hair...Keano Reeves? Just kidding. It's MAMORU!" I giggled more now, while turning around and smirking at him.

"Ha, Ha, very cute Usagi." he said to me. Then he smiled and spoke softly. "I got a chance to meet someone today who knows you." He stated cryptically.

"Who might that me? I asked, i was feeling a bit worried that he might be talking about my family. Then ruled it out, the question 'Who'd he meet?' ran though my mind, boggling me and making me want to know.

"Heart Deena." He said as if it was no big deal, then he followee up with "You know her, right?".

Some of the color drained from my face. I just know it. It wasn't that I had told her anything that could be potentally damaging tpo myself or others. I just said how I felt to her.

"How'd you meet her?" I finally asked; the question only clicking in my mind after I had said it. It was a logical question. Plus it might give me a clue as to know how he knew that I had talked with her.

He shrugged now, but a devious short lived smile was on his face. Then he answered: "I made an appointmeny and went to see her." He stated. Yet again the tone seemed to say 't's really no big deal', This only made me worry a little more. And so I bit my lip in thought, and decided to tell him how I knew her.

"Thats funny, the office made me go to see her after an outburst that I had. But hey, it got me out of classes and abled me to talk about the fact that one of my best friends, Makoto, is dead. Although i wasn't able to tell her how.And before you even ask she khnows absolutely nothing about our 'families'." I told him as if trying to reasure him I did no wrong. Then again the real queston would be who I was trying to reasure more; him or I. Over all I think it soothed us both.

And from there our conversation turned to weither or not there was any 'verdict' yet. The answer in both cases was that there was not. This was not a reasuring thing, but you can't exspect rivals to all of a sudden just get along with one another and put away all differences in like, a day. We had to wait.
