Chapter 8
Stanford USA girls dorms…
As the girls hopped out of their Taxi they were surprised yet overjoyed to see Kevin was waiting for them at the entrance to the girls dorms. Upon spoting them he made his way over, and while helping them carry their suitcases inside he updated them on the Mamoru situation. While secretly marvelling at how much both girls had changed since the last time he'd seen them.
'my god!' he thought'Usagi has gotten at least twice as hot! Since the last time I saw her'
"Kevin?" questioned Usagi waving her hand in front of his face….
"uh, Yeah!" he replied swatting her hand away as he came out of his thought
"Mako sent you this" said Usagi handing him a package that she had taken from her suit case
"thanks"
"'welcome, now go wait over there" said Usagi pointing towards the balcony. "We want to change."
Kevin raised an eye-brow at her; endured Usagi's swat on the arm, and then stepped outside package in hand, while Usagi shut the sliding glass door and closed the blinds.
Sitting on one of the deck chairs Kevin carefully opened the package revealing a letter, and what appeared to be a sweater.
The letter was quite short reading,
Hi Kevin,
I made this sweater for you in clothing and textiles. You better take good care of Usagi for me, she needs lots of protection against big bullies.
Don't forget to write me at
jupitergoddess@hotmail.com. (AN: just made that up, no duh!)
k, talk to you later
Mako,
Kevin chuckled to himself as he held up the sweater. It was dark green and definitely big enough, he was thinking about putting it on when the the curtains were opened revealing the two girls changed and demanding a tour of the campus, so they would know where there classes would be for the following day.
Meanwhile:
Mamoru had been hanging out in his room wondering what Usagi was doing, and where Kevin had gone. Standing up he began rummaging around for something to eat, and not finding anything he headed out to the on campus store.
"Oh! There's Mamoru!" Kevin said to the girls pointing out a lean figure across the courtyard, "Quick come this way."
Usagi stayed behind for a moment staring in shock a worried expression creasing her brow.
Mamrou felt eyes staring at him from somewhere to his left, looking that way he thought he could have sworn he saw an older version of his Usako across the court yard,
'whoa Mamoru, it couldn't have been her' he thought to himself as he looked back to where he thought he saw her only to find no-one there. Shaking his head, he continued on his way.
"What happened to him?" Usagi demanded as she caught up to Kevin
Kevin shrugged, "well, he's been so worried that you don't love him, and felt so guilty about what happened, he's almost lost the will to live. I had to constantly tell him that he had to hold on"
"oh dear" exclaimed Ami
"yeah, it's gotten to the point where basically all he lives for are your e-mail:"
"oh God, I never wanted to hurt him" sobbed Usagi as she realized the pain that she must have put Mamoru thorough.
"Don't worry…he'll be fine now that your back"
"You think so?" she asked him her blue orbs hopeful
"I know so….. Oh… by the way….. Mamoru also is in… your English course"
"He is?" questioned an unbelieving Usagi
"Yeah, He didn't take it last year so he's taking it now" Kevin remarked causing a huge grin to appear on Usagi's face
"When do I have English?"
"Um, last period tomorrow" answered Ami as she glanced over Usagi's schedule
"YAY!" Usagi exclaimed delighted at the prospect of being able to surprise Mamoru so soon!
They spent the rest of the day with Kevin as he showed them around the campus,.and afterward they all went out for dinner enjoying themselves, while Mamoru sulked in his room secretly wondering if he really was seeing things. He sighed to himself as he walked out onto the balcony to stare at the full moon, before he turned away from the night sky and went to bed.
The next morning, girls room
Usagi felt like she just couldn't keep her eyes open that morning, a long plane flight,.a time chang.and a late night all added up to make her feel like a zombie.
She reluctantly rolled out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Clean, and feeling slightly more awake she trudged back into the bedroom. After blinking her eyes in order to get used to the light she looked around for something to wear, with a sigh, she pulled on a pair of dark blue jeans, and a white tank top with the word Angel sprawled across the front in rine stones. Sitting in front of the mirror she blow-dried her shimmering lengths of silvery blonde hair and pulled it up into its odango's. By this time Ami had emerged from the bathroom fully dressed and looking ready to go. Together they sat down to eat their breakfast taking their time as they still had twenty minuets before they had to leave.
In the guys room
Mamoru was awakened from his dream by his alarm clock's annoying squack near his ear. More than a little annoyed he grabbed the curseded piece of machinery and turned it off before he rolled over and tried to go back to the blissful happiness of his dream.
15mins later
Kevin noticed that Mamoru was not up yet, and so he went to see what was wrong, only to find Mamoru sitting on his bed, in his pyjamas with pictures of his usako spread around him in a circle.
"Uh Darien, You might want to get dressed, your 1st class begins in 45min"
"I don't care anymore, she's not coming back" stated Darien his voice void of all infliction.
"GOD! Cut it out" Kevin stated giving Mamoru a shake, "just get your ass dressed, and ready. It's the first day of a new term and who knows what will happen" Kevin raged, thinking of how Usagi would be there in his friends last block class.
Kevin's savage attitude pulled Mamoru out of his phase of self pity and got him moving again.
"Yeah you're right, I might as well get dressed" Darien sighed, not really looking foreword to his classes, but non-the less as Kevin left the room Darien trudged to his closet to get some clothing and got dressed.
'Usako please, let me know you still love me' he thought to himself as he got dressed.
Time passed so slowly for Usagi that it almost seemed to stand still. It was not that her classes were boring, in fact they were far from it it was just that she wanted to see him again; to be able to tell him in person what had been running through her mind for the past 8 months or so.
Finally the time came for English, and not wanting to get there before he did, she dragged her feet a little as she walked towards, what was quickly becoming her favourite class.
Mamoru trudged into English claiming a seat in the back row by the window where he promptly began to unpack his things. He was looking for his pencil case when he felt it, a small jolt of energy which seemed to flow through his entire body. Acting on instinct he turned his head towards the door, his jaw dropping at the site before his eyes.
She stood there eyes scanning the room, and when those twin pools of blue landed upon him her smile lighted up her face, her delight shinging at him through her eyes, as she made her way towards him. Mamoru suddenly became conscious of how much he'd changed, and blushed slightly as he thought of his ragged appearance, yet he still couldn't take his eyes off her as he gaped in wonde.
Usagi's more mature figure was perfectly encased in a pure white tank top with the word angel sprawled across her chest, her long shapely legs hugged by a pair of dark denim jeans, and her long hair had changed too it was no longer pure gold but highlighted with white-silver as it hung around her in its familiar odango's, her luminous sky blue eyes were still wide spread allowing the beauty of her soul to shine out through them.
Mamoru felt his heart beat quicken at the sight of this beautiful creature moving towards him, and when she sat down next to him with a smile he wanted nothing more than to take her in his arms and kiss her.
"Hi Mamo-chan" she said to him
"Hi Usako" he replied
Further conversation was stopped by the ringing of the bell which marked the start of class, although Usagi did lean over to quickly whisper in his ear
"Mamo-chan…. I still love you"
