Breaking Free

Chapter 5: Sleepless Nights

By

Middlen

By the time lunch time had rolled around Usagi had come back after running all over campus to get away from Mamoru and his gang. They now sit under a tree that Hotaru and Usagi sometimes sit under when eating lunch.

 

Usagi had walked off for a moment to grab a drink from one of the vending machines and had left Hotaru to resolve the mess from that morning with Nanami.

 

The others look at Hotaru with disbelief written on their face before looking towards each other then back to Hotaru.

 

“So let me get this straight. Nanami is actually your sister and is Nate's Aunt,” Minako asks with a raised eyebrow and leaning her head to the side while staring at the young man in front of her.

 

Hotaru nods her head and chuckles nervously. “Yeah, she's the eccentric one in the family,” she states while sweat dropping at the thought of some of the racier things that she had pulled through out the years.

 

“Didn't seem like that from where I was standing. She was all over him,” Rei states with a snort that makes everyone turn their heads towards her.

 

“Aww is someone jealous?” A voice asks next to her ear and she lets out an eep before bringing her large text book up to hit the person that was beside her.

 

She looks back when she notices familiar platinum hair falling beside her and looks down with wide eyes at the young man that's laying sprawled out beside her with spiraling eyes.

 

Blue eyes comes back to focus before narrowing at the girl beside her. “What the hell was that for, you damn troll?” Usagi hisses out while rubbing her forehead where the text book had come into contact at.

 

Amethyst eyes narrow at the platinum haired boy beside her. “I should be asking you the same thing, you damn pervert. You snuck up on me!” Rei screamed while pointing a finger at the boy.

 

“Banshee!”

 

“Hentai!”

 

“DEMON!”

 

“BAKA!”

 

Hotaru covers her head with her brief case while the other two girls look away from the fighting duo while everyone around in the quad look their way when they hear the two teens yelling at one another. After some time of the two of them fighting, Makoto and Minako finally get tired of hearing the arguing and pulls Rei away from Usagi and Hotaru while apologizing to the two boys before heading off towards the other side of the quad.

 

Hotaru pulls the still fuming Usagi away to sit next to the tree. She sits down and lays her head in her Aunt's lap and falls into an exhausted sleep while Hotaru shakes her head and finishes up some of her homework and uses her other hand to stroke her fingers through the girls short locks.

Makoto spins Rei around and stares at her with narrowed eyes. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you being so mean to Nate? What has he done to you that you have to repeatedly insult, badger and bludgeon him with anything you have in your hand?” Makoto asks while placing her hands on her hips and gives Rei a hard look.

 

“I don't know what the hell my problem is, Mako. He just rubs me the wrong way! Besides we've had this conversation already!” Rei exclaims while crossing her arms over her chest and turns her head away from her two friends while trying to figure out what exactly her problem is with the boy.

 

“Look, Rei, with any other guy, I'd find it funny, but I've known Nate since we were in our early years of school. He's not that bad at all. He's a decent guy!” Makoto exclaims throwing her hands up into the air.

 

“Decent? You're calling that, that boy, decent? He's always calling me a damn Banshee. How decent can that be?” Rei asks while sputtering in anger at the thought that her friend would defend that baka of a boy.

 

“Well maybe if you weren't constantly yelling at him and beating him to a pulp maybe he wouldn't call you a banshee,” Minako reasons with a shrug of her shoulders.

 

Rei lets out a sigh before bringing her fingertips up to her temples and begins to massage them. It just wasn't fair. Her two best friends were defending the pervert right in front of her. Weren't they supposed to be on her side after all? But then again Makoto knew Nate longer and Minako was just agreeing because she wanted to date the baka of a boy. She lets out another sigh before nodding her head to herself.

 

“Alright, I'll try to be more civil from him, I promise, this time,” Rei states with a forced smile while the other two raise an eyebrow at her before nodding their own heads.

 

They look at each other before smiling and walking towards each other at once to give one another a hug before chuckling at the silliness of the whole situation.

 

When they returned to the spot where they left Hotaru and Usagi, they see that Usagi had fallen asleep on Hotaru's lap while she works on her homework and runs her fingers through Usagi's short hair. While Makoto and Minako walks over to the pair of teens, Rei hangs back and watches as the Sakura petals from the branches above them fall onto platinum blonde bangs. For one brief moment, Rei wonders just what it would feel like to be in the place Hotaru is right now.

 

A slow smile creases her face before she shakes her head and grumbles to herself while reminding herself that the boys nothing but a baka pervert that has mistresses everywhere. She walks over to the other three with a forced smile on her face and sits down to talk to her friends. She catches herself every once in a while glancing over towards the boys serene face that lays within Hotaru's lap.

Late that night at the mansion

 

Blood shot eyes looks over before sweat dropping at the time that is displayed on the clock before her. Three in the morning. Why her?

 

“Come on, here up, Nanami. I gotta get to bed. I have school in the morning!” Usa whispers while blinking her eyes to get the sleep out of them.

 

“I can't hurry up, Usa. This is a delicate nature, that must be handled with care,” Nanami states with a sultry smile.

 

A couple minutes later.

 

“Yesssssss, Yes, YES!!!!” Nanami yells out so loud that it vibrates the walls.

 

“Now, it's your turn!” Nanami states leaning back and guzzles down some soda.

 

Usa lets out a groan and leans her head to the side before picking up the dice and tosses them onto the table. She counts them up and writes down the score before handing the dice over to her Aunt Nanami who picks them up with a large smile on her face.

 

She rolls the dice then tosses them onto the table. Her smile grows wider before she picks them up again and throws them once more.

 

“AHAHAHAHAH! YAHTZEE! That's another fifty points for me. I win, now pay up Usa!” Nanami states before pulling out some multicolored pens from her knapsack that's sitting beside her.

Hotaru walks into Usagi's room the next morning with Haruka hot on her heels. The young girl had missed her work out session and the two girls were there to find out why. When they open the door they see bottles scattered everywhere, some multicolored pens sitting on the small table that sits in the middle of the room and a snoring Usagi laying under the table dressed in only a pair of boxers and a specially made bra that is designed to hide her breasts.

 

Upon further inspection they see glasses drawn around the girls face, a weird looking dragon on her stomach and the words I WIN scrawled on one of the girls biceps, along with several other different pictures one of which looks like it's done in permanent marker.

 

The sisters look at each other and shake their head before they begin to pick up the room before attempting to wake the sleeping girl under the table.

 

Hotaru nudges the girl with her foot before she nods towards Haruka, who walks over to the girl while wetting a finger in her mouth then leans down towards the girl and sticks the wet appendage into her ear.

 

“WET WILLY!” Haruka cries while wiggling the finger in the other girls ear.

 

Usagi springs up from her spot under the table only to hit her head against the bottom of it and falls backwards with her eyes spiraling after hitting her head.

 

“No more, Yahtzee, Please! No more!” Usagi mutters before covering her face with her hands while the other two shake their heads.

 

“We've really gotta talk to our sister about these late night Yahtzee sessions,” Haruka states while sweat dropping before helping the exhausted girl towards the bathroom.

 

“Yeah, I have to agree with you on that one, Ruka,” Hotaru states before grabbing Usagi's school uniform from the closet.

 

“Come on, sleeping beauty, you gotta get ready for school,” Haruka states before shoving the girl into the bathroom then shoves the cloths into the girls hands and leave her to her shower.

Later on in class Usagi had her head down on the desk, but she felt like someone was watching her, but didn't pay it any attention while she continued to doze off and on in the class, knowing that Hotaru will poke her if the teacher asks her a question. Without another thought, she lets her eyes close and falls off into another light doze.

 

Rei sits behind Usagi with her chin in her hand while she watches the stupid idiotic boy sitting in front of her sleep through class. Despite knowing that knowing that Nanami is Nate's Aunt, she can't help but wonder what they could be doing that would make the stupid boy so tired that he could barely keep himself awake long enough to get through the class, less then comatose. A thought comes to her mind and a large red blush colors her cheeks when she thinks of the one thing it could be.

 

`Stupid, incestuous, pervert,' Rei thinks before shifting her eyes away from the sleeping baka so that she can concentrate on what the nauseatingly boring teacher is talking about up at the front of the class room.

Sometime later Haruka and Usagi stand beside Haruka's convertible waiting for Hotaru and Michiru to get out of the store that they stopped at on their way to the airport.

 

“So this is great news, isn't it?” Haruka asks trying to make conversation with Usagi while waiting for the two girls to get out of the store.

 

“I suppose so. It's better then one of the other relatives coming to live with us, that's for sure,” Usagi states while looking at her nails before making a mental note to trim them before she goes back to school tomorrow. “Though I can't remember is Ojiisan said anything about us.”

 

“No, he didn't. Her mother walked out of the family when her mom remarried dad. The only reason Dad's wife's sister and granddaughter are coming to live with us is because they don't have anywhere else to go. Her daughter was living with her sister until she ran off living them homeless and without any money. So the question is do we tell her right away or allow her to figure it out on her own?” Haruka asks with a wide smirk on her face.

 

Usagi chuckles and shakes her head before opening her mouth to say something when the two girls come out of the store with arms loaded with snacks and soda. Haruka smiles at Michiru before opening the door to the car and allows the two girls in before she gets in herself with Usagi sitting in the back with Hotaru.

 

“Do you really think that we need that much stuff?” Usagi asks Hotaru who shrugs her shoulders.

 

“Hey, they might be hungry. Plane food doesn't leave much to be desired as you might remember,” Hotaru states while Usagi nods her head chuckling to herself.

“That's true. I had forgotten about the food on the planes. A bit nasty,” Usagi states while they fly down the highway towards the airport.

Mizuno Ami sits in the plane seat fidgeting around while waiting for the plan to land. The young bluenette, with blue brown eyes and a slim figure looks around the plane at everyone sitting around her, before letting out a sigh.

 

Her mother had left her with her Aunt Setsuna and now they were flying towards an unknown grandmother and a grandfather/stepfather that neither of them had met before. She knew that she had family somewhere, but her mother never talked about them, having disowned them all after their mother had remarried some man, way to soon after their father had died.

 

She looks over when she feels a hand on her arm to settle her down and look into the garnet eyes of her Aunt sitting beside her who smiles at her kindly.

 

“Don't worry, Ami. They are gonna love you. Mom said that her new husband was a good man and I'll have to trust her judgment,” Setsuna states with a large, but forced smile on her face.

 

“Why didn't you stay with them when grandma remarried?” Ami asks while tilting her head to the side to regard Setsuna with a curious look on her face.

 

“I had heard some things about my stepfather and I didn't want to be involved with his crazy ideas, but mom assured me that since we're her family that he wont interfere with us. I was never really told what those crazy idea's were and to be honest, I really don't wanna find out either,” Setsuna explains before patting the girls arm and pulls it back to rest in her lap.

 

“Well maybe it's not so bad as other people make it sound. I mean, mom, tried to make him sound like the devil incarnate, but how bad could he be if he's offering his home to us, right?” Ami asks with a small smile to try and cover up her nervousness.

 

“Well, little one, you have a point there. Besides, at least they have a couple of boys your age to hang out with,” Setsuna states with a smile before nudging the girl beside her. “Maybe they can help pull you out of that shell that you've embraced around yourself, hmm?”

 

Ami blushes a bit before shaking her head. “I don't know about that, Aunt Sets. Though maybe they can help me make a better start then when we were in England. It can't hurt,” she states while looking down into her lap, wringing her hands together.

 

“That's the spirit. You just think that way and you'll have loads of friends beating down the door to hang out with you,” Setsuna states before reaching over to hug the girl close to her.

 

“Yeah and maybe you can find that person you keep dreaming about,” Ami states with a sly smirk on her face.

 

“Oh, could be,” Setsuna states before turning her head away from the girl beside her trying to hide the blush that had crossed over her face.

 

Once she's sure that her face is no longer red, she looks over at her niece and lets out a sigh. This was a side that only she was allowed to see. The girl was bright, funny and could pull pranks with the best of them, but she kept herself locked up in her own world where no one else was allowed to tread except for her and her good for nothing mother, but she was sure that this change would be good for her and her mother had assured her that Ami being around the two youngest boys would be the cure for it, because they were very spirited lads that enjoy playing pranks just as much as Ami did.

 

`Yeah, this is just what, Ami needs, change,' Setsuna thinks to herself before leaning over to place a small kiss on her nieces cheek who smiles back at her before looking forward when the pilot announces that they'll be landing soon.

The four girls walk through the airport towards the gate that they were told that the plane from England would be unloading at. While they walk through the terminal, groups of girls swoon at the site of Haruka, Usagi and Hotaru while the boys point and whisper about Michiru whose arm is currently linked through Haruka's.

 

Haruka smirks and winks at the girls making them swoon even more while Usagi rolls at Ruka's ham acting then shakes her head when she notices at the Hotaru is doing the same thing.

 

Yeah, Usagi, likes girls just like her two Aunts, but at the same time she doesn't want to call attention to herself like her two Aunts do. She smirks when she notices Michiru smacking Haruka upside the head for flirting with a bunch of girls that are younger then her, which makes her whine and state that Hotaru was able too so why can't she?

 

Usagi rolls her eyes along with Hotaru who begins to laugh at her sisters predicament that is until Michiru looks back at the two younger girls and glares at them, but gives me a ghost of a wink and a slight smile before turning back around to continue on with her fiancé.

 

Hotaru looks at Usagi and they begin to laugh loudly while holding each other at the detached look on Haruka's face when she turns towards them to see what they are laughing about. Shaking her head, Haruka begins to wonder if school hasn't finally made her younger family members loose their minds before leaning over to kiss Michiru's cheek when she hears a young man make a comment about what her fiancé is wearing.

 

Usagi suggests that they get going to that they don't leave their guests waiting at the terminal wondering where they are. Listening to the voice of reason the three girls nod their heads before continuing their trek towards the gate.

 

When they arrive at the gate they notice a blue haired girl and a dark haired girl with green streaks in her hair waiting for them at the front of the gate, looking around for their ride to the mansion.

 

Usagi raises an eyebrow at the color combination in the taller girls hair and wonders if it's natural or a dye job before walking over with Hotaru to the two girls.

 

“Konnichiha, I'm Tsukino Nathan and this is my Uncle Tsukino Hotaru. It's a pleasure to meet you,” Usagi states before bowing before the two girls in front of them.

 

Setsuna smiles at the platinum blonde haired boy in front of her and bows back. “I'm Meioh Setsuna and this is my niece Mizuno Ami. Arigato, for picking us up.”

 

They walk over to Haruka who introduce themselves and bow before their guests who bow back towards the polite couple.

 

“Have you been waiting long?” Haruka asks while they walk towards the luggage claim area.

 

“No, we just arrived. I think we waited maybe a minute before you arrived,” Setsuna states while watching the carousal for their luggage to appear.

 

When it does Setsuna goes over to claim it, but it stopped by the three boys standing beside her and ask her to just point out which ones are their's before lifting them up from the carousal and lug them towards the entrance of the airport.

 

Setsuna raises an eyebrow and begins to wonder who taught them to be so courteous before following them out of the area making small talk with Michiru while Ami follows behind the two girls with a look of wonder on her face at the actions of her cousin and his Uncles.

 

They arrive at Haruka's car and put the luggage into the trunk before getting into the car and head off towards the mansion as fast as they can since it's a bit of a squeeze for the four people in the back. It's so tight that Ami has to sit on top of Setsuna's lap, while Haruka sweat drops for not thinking ahead of time about how she was going to fit them all in the car. At the time she was just thinking that since it was such a nice day that they should take the convertible instead of thinking about comfort, but what was done was done.

 

Ami hangs onto her Aunt for dear life while Haruka races down the streets towards the place that she will be calling home from now on. All the while wondering if she was going to fly out of the car due to Haruka's excessive speed, but knows that her Aunt wouldn't let anything to happen to them.

 

With the cramped space and the wind blowing towards them, they didn't have any chance to talk on the way back to the mansion, so the car is quiet, each of it's occupants lost with in their own thoughts the entire way home.

 

When they get back to the mansion, servants rush towards the car and begin to unload the trunk of it's luggage before taking it into the house to where the two new girls were going to be staying from now on.

 

Ami and Setsuna follow the others into the house before a maid comes up to the two girls and bows before them.

 

“Good evening, Madam Tsukino, has asked for me to escort you to her foyer. She would like to talk to the two of you before you get settled in. Once you are done just ask one of the maids where your rooms are and they'll take you to them. Now if you'll follow me, please,” the maid states before bowing once again and leads the two girls away from the other girls who look towards each other in their minds they are all asking the same question.

 

“What's that all about?” They ask together before chuckling at their unison questioning.

 

The four girls shake their heads before going off to the living room to get in a game of cards before they can be called for supper.

 

“What do you suppose that was all about?” Hotaru asks while dealing out the cards to her sister, sister in law and niece.

 

“No, idea, but I'm sure we can find out later,” Haruka states while looking at her cards.

 

“Yeah, who knows, maybe they'll tell us,” Usagi states before leaning back into the couch and closes her eyes having declined the invitation to play cards with her family.

 

“Or maybe you can go find out for yourself,” a familiar voice states from the doorway and everyone turns their head to see Nanami standing there.

 

“I don't think that's such a good idea, Nanami,” Usagi states from where she is sitting, her eyes growing wide when Nanami claps her hands together with a gleeful look on her face.

 

“Oh good, you are awake! That means I can get a game of Yahtzee in before I leave for my party,” Nanami states excitedly only to frown when Usagi flops back on the couch and proceeds to snore quietly.

“Well, I guess that's out,” Nanami states before shaking her head and walks out of the room leaving Hotaru and Haruka chuckling behind her.
