" Hey Usagi-chan, are you alright? " asked a curious Ami.
" Yeah, why wouldn't I be? " asked Usagi in a slightly miffed voice.
*Uh-oh, I am in for it now. They are going to yell at me for leaving last night.
* Ami, Makoto, and Minako sat on the ground next to Usagi and opened their lunches.
"Well I saw you a minute ago and it looked to me like you were holding your side
as if you were hurt," said Ami.
"Ah Ami-chan, Usa-chan just probably tripped again," laughed Makoto.
*They really do think I am a klutz. Even Mako, who usually sticks up for me.*
"Hehe, yeah. I fell on the way to school this morning," explained the not so happy Usagi.
*I wonder when I can stop living a lie and let them see the real me?*
Ami didn't look too sure about the answer Usagi gave. She was positive there was
something more to it. *I guess I will have to talk to her alone about it. She won't say
anything in front of the others.* Ami sat thinking of ways to force the issue with Usagi.
"So Usagi-chan, why did you leave last night?" asked the ever curious Minako.
"Uh . . . . . I . . . had to get home before my parents realised I wasn't in my room.
They would have grounded me if they went in there and not see me in my room," said Usagi,
wondering if they could tell if it was a lie. *I can't tell them I think that they are right about
me not being a good leader. I will lose the only friends I got.* Usagi thought dejectedly.
*Hmmm........ I wonder what has gotten into usagi lately? She is smiling, but her eyes have
a blank sad look to them. Like she's not really happy. Nah, that can't be. This is Usagi.*
thought Makoto.
"Uh look guys, I have to leave for my next class. I'll talk to you later, Ja." said Usagi.
She walked off towards the school building leaving the rest behind looking at her.
"You guys, is it just me or does Usagi seem different today? And why are her sides sore?
She didn't get injured that i know of during the youma battle last night," asked Ami.
Makoto turned and looked at Ami, "I think what rei said to her last night has somethin to
do with her attitude today. Who knows, maybe she is going to start listening to what Rei says.
As for why her sides hurt, I think it's probably like she said, she fell this morning."
"I agree with Mako-chan on why her sides hurt. But why she is like this today, I don't think
Rei had anything to do with it. Usagi just usually lets that stuff go in one ear and out the other,
because she knows that all Rei is trying to do is protect her," said Minako.
"I am going to talk to Usagi today after school to see if I can find anything out. I think we
should have a meeting at the temple without her there to discuss what's going on," suggested Ami.
"Ok"

( After school in the front)

*Ok, where is Usagi? Look there's Naru, I'll ask her where Usagi is at.* "Hey Naru, have
you seen Usagi-chan?" asked a slightly worried Ami.

"She leaves school fifteen minutes early everyday to pick up her little brother, except for on
Fridays when he goes to a friends house," said a confused Naru.*Some friends Usagi has. They
don't even know what she does after school.* she thought kind of angrily.

"Thanks Naru!" said Ami.*I wonder why Usagi never told us that. We always figured she
had detention. This is getting a little weirder.*

On the way to the Hikawa jinja Ami bumped into Makoto literally. "Hey Ami-chan, you got
something on your mind?" asked Makoto.

"I'll tell you and the others when we get to Rei's. i think it is important," said a slightly
mistyfied Ami.

Makoto just made a sound of agreement and continued to walk along in silence the rest of
the way to Rei's.
