Is Destiny Always Right?

Chapter Two- News of a Dinner Date

Usagi stared blankly at Itsuma as if not understanding the language he was speaking. Finally she raised a brow and tilted her head slightly. "Excuse me?"

Itsuma chuckled lightly, shaking his head in amusement. "You haven't changed a bit."

Usagi almost pouted at not getting the answer she wanted. "So I was clumsy and stupid in the past too? No wonder Mamoru doesn't love me anymore."

He frowned deeply, gently pulling her to his chest again. "You're not clumsy or stupid sere.. And don't let anyone tell you that you are."

Usagi relaxed slightly against his chest, though she didn't understand why she felt so comfortable and safe in his arms. "But if everyone says it isn't it true?"

Itsuma shook his head, "Are your friends being serious when they tell you or are they joking?"

Usagi glanced up at him slowly, a small frown marring her perfect features.

He smiled. "Trust me on this Sere. You have wonderful friends that all love you."

She nodded. "Demo are you really who you say?"

Itsuma nodded and at her concerned look he chuckled. "I know you love Mamoru still, demo there's no harm in me trying."

Usagi immediately looked downcast, "Demo.. He doesn't love me anymore."

Itsuma quirked one of his dark eyebrows, "You can never tell how he feels."

Usagi frowned, "He just told me…"

Itsuma nodded. "True, demo in the past he was never good at showing his emotions. Was always afraid he'd get hurt. So instead of trying it he'd distance himself from everything that could have hurt him." He smiled at the odongo. "Now I don't know if he's the same way still, demo the chances are pretty high if you're still the same."

Usagi smiled brightly up at him, hope shining in her once dull and sullen eyes. "Really? You really think so?"

Itsuma nodded slowly, "It's possible." He grinned, "Now if I remember correctly you have a soft spot for sweets, so why don't you come over to my apartment and I'll make you dinner and dessert to cheer you up and this way we can talk some more and you can get to know me again."

Usagi's eyes had become rather starry as soon as he said sweets and she automatically nodded. "Hai! That sounds great! Anou.. I have to tell my mom first."

Itsuma smiled and nodded, "No problem. You can call her from my place or we can go over to your house right now."

She nodded and then paled. "Oh no! I forgot I have to pick up Chibi Usa!"

Itsuma chuckled a bit, "Yup still the same.." He grinned at her again, "Why don't I give you a lift and then we'll stop by your house, okay?"

Usagi nodded and smiled brightly, "Thank you!"

He nodded, smiling at her still and led her to his 1957 classic black Mustang convertible, grinning at her amazed look. "Rich parents," he explained then opened the front door for her.

Usagi got in, smiling a bit as she let her hands trail over the leather before she glanced at him as he climbed in. "How rich?"

Itsuma chuckled, "My dad owns a chain of popular restaurants so pretty rich." He grinned at her, "Now where's Chibi Usa's school?"

Usagi told him the way and then jumped out as he pulled to a stop. She rushed up the stairs and inside the school building almost running into the chibi version of herself.

"Usagi no baka! Where have you been?"

The blonde teen sighed deeply, dragging air into her lungs. "I got held up. Now come on a friend is giving us a lift home."

Chibi Usa brightened at this, of course thinking that Usagi's only friend with a car was Mamoru. "Well then why are you still wasting time talking?" She quickly dashed outside, Luna P hovering along behind her. She made her way to the car and at seeing a tall form standing at the door jumped into his arms. "Mamo-chan thanks for the lift!"

Itsuma blinked in surprise as the chibi girl hugged him.

Usagi almost glared at the scene. The spore already stole most of her time with Mamoru, she wasn't getting Itsuma also. "Oi! Brat that isn't Mamoru."

Chibi Usa blinked and pulled back noticing that it was as Usagi said. She blushed, looking incredibly sheepish and Usagi-like as she quickly managed to get out of the man's arms. She quickly dashed to Usagi to hide behind her leg, glancing up at the original odongoed girl. "Usagi…! Who's this? Why is this guy here and not Mamo-chan?!"

Usagi rolled her eyes, though she was smiling fondly down at the small girl. "Chibi Usa you know that Mamoru broke up with me."

Before she could say more Chibi Usa put her hands on her hips, "So you've already started dating this loser?!"

Istuma raised an eyebrow, "No, Usagi-chan isn't dating me, though I certainly wouldn't mind that. We're just friends Chibi Usa."

The pink haired bunny slowly moved around Usagi to look up at the tall man, blushing as she realized that he and Mamoru had nothing in common but good looks and height… and apparently money by their vehicles.

Mamoru had the tall, dark and handsome thing going for him where this guy was pale and he looked like the boy next door type.

After staring for a minute she nodded in approval. If Usagi was friends with him he had to be a good guy. "So what's your name, mister? And how do you know Usa-baka?"

Itsuma frowned lightly at the little girl. "Usa-baka?"

Chibi Usa nodded and jabbed a finger in Usagi's direction. "This klutz. Fits, don't you think?"

Itsuma shook his head, causing Usagi to smile brightly. Up until now everyone had taken an instant liking to the little brat. She was glad someone beside her was sane.

Chibi Usa blinked. "No..? Are you sure you know Usagi?" At his nod she shrugged then turned. "Ikuko-mama said I could go see Mamo-chan today, will you take me?"

Usagi glanced at Itsuma, raising an eyebrow in question.

He smiled, "Well where is it?"

Chibi Usa smiled, "The tall apartment building!"

Itsuma blinked, "Azabu (I can't remember the name so if anyone knows I'd appreciate it if you let me know! Thanks!) Apartments?"

Usagi nodded, "Hai, is that all right?"

Itsuma smiled again and nodded, "Of course. But why don't we stop at your house first so you can ask your mom. That way we don't have to make two trips."

At the two girls' confused looks he smiled. "I'm staying in an apartment there too."

Usagi smiled brightly, "Really? Well that'll work out so I can pick up Chibi Usa after we're done."

Chibi Usa however, still looked confused. "Done with what Usagi?"

"Itsuma-kun is making me dinner and dessert." She bit her lip and glanced at Itsuma, "Can Chibi Usa join us for dessert?"

Itsuma nodded, smiling. "If she wants to."

Chibi Usa tilted her head, "Will there be chocolate?"

Itsuma smiled. "I think I can manage that."

Chibi Usa grinned, "Then hai I'll be there!"

Itsuma smiled a bit, and then winked at the pink bunny. "It's a date then!"

This of course caused the little girl to blush furiously, much to the amusement of Usagi.

Perhaps sharing Itsuma with Chibi Usa wouldn't be so bad..

-----

It didn't take them long to reach Usagi's house and the odongoed girl got out quickly to go ask her mother.

"Kaa-san…? Have I told you how pretty you look today?"

Her mother smiled slightly, "What do you want Usagi?"

Usagi pouted, "Why do you think I want something?"

Ikuko laughed, "That's the only time you bother sucking up to me. So what do you want?"

Usagi smiled a bit, "A friend invited me to dinner tonight and since they live in the same apartment building as Mamoru I can pick Chibi Usa up."

Her mother seemed to think it over for a minute before nodding. "All right, but I want you both home by ten latest."

Usagi nodded, smiling brightly as she kissed her mom's cheek. "We will be Mama! Thank you!"

She then, like any smart girl would when confronted with having dinner with an absolute hottie, proceeded to quickly change out of her school uniform before dashing back out to the others. "Okaa-san said it's okay, we just need to be home by ten."

Itsuma smiled at her, his eyes roving over the blue and white summer dress she had adorned. "I think we can manage that one too." He then pulled out of the driveway, starting the short drive to his apartment.

"Usagi.. Have I mentioned how pretty you look today?"

Usagi could only laugh and wonder what exactly he wanted.

-----

Usagi squirmed nervously as they made their way to Mamoru's apartment to drop off the little girl.

Chibi Usa grinned happily and knocked loudly, and rather annoyingly on Mamoru's door.

Inside Mamoru blinked a bit, his eyes lifting from their intent gaze on Usagi's picture and then slowly got up to look through the peep hole, his heart soaring and crashing at the sight of his Usako. "Usagi you shouldn't be here."

He heard her sigh deeply, and sadly he noted, then in a slightly choked voice that made him wince, she responded. "I'm just dropping Chibi Usa off."

Nodding to himself he opened the door and had to fight a growl and a flare as he saw the young man from earlier. "What are you doing with this guy Usagi?"

Usagi blinked and glanced up at Itsuma in confusion. "With Itsuma-kun? We'll he's making me dinner tonight," she told him, her dark crystal eyes alight with happiness at the simple act. This only made him wince again. He had never once made her dinner. Her voice brought him out of his self pity mode, "Which is why I'll come get Chibi Usa at eight."

At his confused look Chibi Usa smiled brightly, "Suma-chan is making me dessert! With chocolate too!"

Mamoru frowned lightly. Chibi Usa liked this guy too? And already had a nickname for him? Needing to do something to pull Usagi to her senses he asked, "Usagi didn't you just meet this guy today?"

Usagi nodded and opened her mouth when Itsuma began speaking, a glare firmly in place on his handsome face. "I don't really see how that's any of your business Mamoru-san. You made it very clear that you didn't want anything to do with Usagi earlier."

Mamoru's glare deepened and Itsuma couldn't help but grin and just to add salt to Mamoru's wounds he slipped his arm about Usagi's slim shoulders.

Usagi shifted a bit nervously, unknowingly leaning into Itsuma for comfort. "Well see you in a little bit Chibi Usa."

The pink haired bunny nodded and slipped into Mamoru's apartment, grabbing the dark haired man's hand and pulling him along.

Mamoru glanced at the small child as the door shut. "Is she dating him?"

Chibi Usa shrugged, not realizing how important that small bit of information was to him. "Can we watch Disney movies Mamo-chan?"

End News of a Dinner Date

AN: Thank you all for the kind words! -Blush- They made me feel so talented… I was really surprised by how many people wanted Usagi to stay with Itsuma though.. So I guess we'll have to do a poll. Please if you leave a review let me know who you would rather have Usagi be with, that'll help me a lot. Also tell me what you like and don't like about the story, so I can know what I'm doing right and wrong. Hopefully that'll help me improve. Um.. I don't know when I'll have the next chapter out, but I will tell you this, the more reviews the sooner it'll be, cause the reviews make me want to write.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed it!
