PERFECT: PART 2
It was cold, in fact it was freezing, but for once Usagi was thankful that she had
an excuse to wear a long-sleeved shirt. Since she was a Sailor Scout, Usagi healed faster
than most normal people, so the scratches on her arm were now nothing but thin pale
scars, though they were still very noticeable. With any luck they would be gone within a
few days.
Today, unfortunately, was Saturday, and the day of the dreaded Senshi meeting.
Today she would have to make her decision. Should she stay as the leader, or should she
give up and resign? Usagi pondered this question as she trudged to the Arcade. It was
only around ten or so, so none of the scouts would be there, ready to make her feel worse
than she already did.
The twinkle of bells that signaled a new arrival usually, for some odd reason,
brightened Usagi's mood, but not today. She ignored her friend, Motoki, and his worried
glances in her direction and proceeded to seat herself in the farthest booth from the door.
For it to be so early in the morning the place was swamped with people and it
looked like the arcade was short a couple waitresses, so Motoki wouldn't have any time
to take a break and come bother her. After fifteen minutes an exhausted waitress who
looked like she missed her morning coffee came to take her order, and by now Usagi was
starving. She ordered two hot sticky buns and lemon tea...she'd need her strength for
today.
Ten minutes later two gooey, piping hot sticky buns and a mug of hot tea were
brought to her by another frazzled looking waitress. Usagi immediately began to slather
on the extra warm, sweet butter cream icing from the container resting on her plate, she
hadn't asked for extra icing...but she wasn't complaining.
It only took Usagi ten minutes to polish off the sticky buns before she moved on
to the tea, which was still rather warm. She heard the bells chime once more, signaling
another new customer, but she didn't bother looking up, that is, until she heard the
approach of footsteps. The owner of the footsteps turned out to be a girl, a very special
girl, and her name was Connie Ikiyama.
"Got room for one more?" Connie asked while gesturing towards the nearly empty booth.
"Of course...I could use a friend right now...please sit down." Usagi smiled, Connie noticed, but when she did it seemed like the light had gone out in her eyes, a light that Connie had grown accustomed to seeing.
"You don't have to tell me twice! Jeeze dude, it's freezing out there...today has got to be
a record! She said while blowing on her red hands, trying to warm them up. But it's an
excuse to wear long sleeves right?
Usagi blushed and shyly nodded her head in agreement. "How've you been Connie? I haven't seen you in a while."
"Well I was waiting for a certain someone to call me, but they never did. I wonder why?"
"I know that I said I'd call you Connie, in fact I promised, but so much has happened recently and---"
"I understand Tuskino, life got in the way. It happens to all of us, believe me. Please excuse my bluntness, but have you done it yet? At Usagi's blank look she tried again. What I mean is have you used the you-know-what yet?"
Taking a quick look around to make sure she wasn't being watched, Usagi rolled up her sleeve for Connie to see.
Connie's eyes widened at the long, jagged scars that covered the tan skin. "Wow...those are some pretty vicious looking scars Usagi. What happened?"
Usagi shook her head as her hands clenched the fabric of her skirt in her lap. "I got into a fight...with my group. And now they wanna kick me out, and my boyfriend is mad at me, and so are my parents. Everything is just becoming so bad Connie...I don't know what to do anymore!" Usagi sniffled quietly before burying her face in her small hands.
The brunette reached over the table to Usagi's trembling hand in her own. A girl like
Usagi never deserved to be so depressed, it just wasn't right. Nobody was ever going to
hurt her again, not under her watch, this girl would never cry again.
"It's alright sweetie, Connie soothed, they can't hurt you anymore. Not with me around, and don't worry because I'll be your friend. You can call me, visit me, e-mail me, I don't care what you do, but I want you to talk to me Usa. Don't you ever feel like you have no one who'll listen to you, got that?"
Usagi nodded tearfully as her new friend gently wiped her tears away.
"Good."
"Look, I think that we both could do with a little...excitement in our lives, especially you babe. What do ya say we go to a party or somethin'?"
The blonde sniffed lightly, before replying. "Where is it?"
Connie blushed slightly, "It's just a little thing at my boyfriend's house tonight. He's cool...and he knows about...well the stuff I do. Besides, his friends, at least some of them anyway, are into...are you okay Usagi?
Usagi was just sitting there, staring detachedly out the window. When she turned around her eyes were filled with new tears. "This thing...is what I did...what we're doing bad Connie? Does it mean something is wrong with us? Is this normal?"
"We are perfectly normal babe, and so is what we do. Nobody knows you Usagi, and no one understands you except me. There are others like us, other people that feel the same way that we do. We're a special breed Usagi, because we know how to deal with pain. We can live with heartbreak without breaking ourselves. Don't you see? We're better than our "so-called" friends…we know that life isn't just a---ah…" Connie stopped talking for a moment as she lost her train of thought and her eyes glazed over.
"We know that life isn't what Connie?"
"Huh? I dunno what happened…" She blinked and then shrugged off her sudden lapse of thought. "That happens to me a lot nowadays…go figure!"
Connie reached across the table to wrap her arms around the blonde's shoulders, giving her a squeeze. "I'll always be here for you babe, no matter what, you got that?"
Usagi smiled and nodded her head, before wiping her eyes as they began to water again.
::AHEM::
Came a voice from behind them, causing Connie to pull away from Usagi almost
instantly. Connie's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the newcomer, it was one of Usagi's
friends, she had seen her around a few times before.
Both Connie and Makoto looked each other over, a silent challenge resided in their eyes.
Connie was the first to remove her gaze, she turned back to Usagi and with a wink began
collecting her things. She stood and brushed passed the tall brunette, smirking as their
shoulders purposely bumped. Turning one last time she caught Usagi's eye and put her
hand to her ear as though she was speaking into a phone, the blonde bunny nodded in
response, mentally making a note to do just that.
"Focusing her attentions on Mako-chan, Usagi attempted crack a feeble smile. Uh, how--how are you, uh, holding up?"
"I'm actually just fine, to be perfectly honest with you girl, Merc---I mean Ami's got me so drugged up that I can't even feel my toes. How about you?"
"F-fine, thanks for asking." The blonde mumbled, eyes downcast. "I'm sorry Mako, it's my fault that you were hurt last night. I should have known that there was no possible way that we could ever go a night without being ambushed by youmas."
"Stop that." Came Mako's gruff reply.
"Stop what?"
"Stop fucking apologizing Usagi! Things happen, and I knew that when I took this job years ago. It says so in the Sailor Senshi handbook, you mean you don't own a copy?"
Makoto frowned when Usagi didn't respond to her lame joke; this was definitely not like her Bunny.
The two girls sat in silence for what seemed like hours, neither sure of what to say.
"Look Makoto, Usagi spoke up finally averting her eyes from her friend's expectant gaze, I appreciate you sitting here with me, but I'm sure you have other, more important things to do, because I do. There's no need for you to pretend like you're not angry with me, the entire team is mad at me for heaven's sake and they aren't afraid to show it, so why are you trying to spare my feelings?"
Makoto chewed her lip nervously for a second, unsure of how to respond. She sighed
deeply before she began, and prayed to the gods above that she was saying the right
thing.
"I'm not angry with you Usa-chan, I just want to know why you weren't there. Minako and Rei didn't mean what they said the other night, and you know Ami didn't mean it. They were tired, we all were, and…well…you were the most available target. I know that doesn't make it right but---"
"Yeah, you're right. It doesn't but that's never stopped any one of you guys before."
"Just let me finish Usagi! I know that reason doesn't make it right but you've never let it bother you like this before! So why now?"
"Why now? I'm surprised that Rei didn't just all out hit me last night, sweet lord I know she wanted to… It's my fault Mako, I caused this problem and now I have to fix it. Can't you understand that?"
Makoto struggled to keep her voice low and even as she spoke. "But that doesn't mean that you have to let them walk all over you to make a point Usagi! I love you, they love you, and even Mamoru loves you! I just---" Usagi winced when Makoto's fist pounded loudly on the table, but when Usagi looked around she was relieved to find that the other customers were still ignoring them. "Stand up for yourself Usagi, don't be afraid of Rei, because if you can handle fire breathing youmas, then you can handle a fire breathing Senshi."
"Thanks Mako, it's just that I don't want to hurt anybody, even Rei."
Makoto smiled slightly before gesturing to her blonde friend's empty plate and drained cup. "Are you, uh, done yet Usa-chan?"
"Yeah, I guess…" She trailed off as she took a glance towards the Arcade clock; it was nearly time for the Senshi meeting.
"Then how about we get an early start on our trek to the temple?"
"Alright Mako…if you want." Usagi flipped her loose strands of honey blonde hair behind her as she prepared to stand up, causing the sleeve covering her slashed wrist to rise up slightly. As soon as she felt her warm skin become exposed to the cool air she blushed and quickly pulled it down, but she wasn't fast enough for the Senshi of Thunder.
Mako eyed the girl before her suspiciously, even though she'd only seen it for a fraction of a second, she was sure something was there. "Usagi, what was that thing on your arm? Did you hurt yourself last night?"
Usagi could feel herself begin to panic suddenly under her friend's penetrating gaze. "Um… I---"
"Excuse me, interrupted the same waitress that had served Usagi earlier that morning, I'm really sorry, but if you're finished could you please leave your booth? We normally wouldn't do this, but since we have to accommodate so many people today we are trying to get customers in and out quickly." She took a breath and patted down her frizzy red hair before she set to clearing the table.
"Thank the Gods!" Usagi whispered under her breath, thankful that she had been spared from having to lie to her friend.
"What was that?" Makoto wondered, still eying Usagi's arm.
Usagi simply shook her head before grabbing her things and exiting the booth, followed
closely by Makoto, and even though Usagi had eaten breakfast only an hour ago, she felt
the emptiness creeping into her stomach. The two waved good-bye to their blonde friend,
Andrew, as they passed the counter before leaving the warmth of the arcade for the cold,
bitter, winter air.
Since the temple was on the other side of town the trip lasted for nearly forty-minutes.
But to Usagi, the trip didn't last nearly long enough because by the time the young teen
reached the steps of Rei's Temple whatever little courage she'd found had bolted, leaving
her with chattering teeth and shaking knees. As Makoto began making her way up the
snow covered steps Usagi had a revelation: It was now or never and once she was inside
of those doors there would be no turning back.
Makoto stopped two steps from the top and glanced backwards looking for her friend
only to find that she was exactly where she'd left her looking lost, alone, and frozen in
the snow.
"Come on Usagi!" She yelled down. "They'll be even more upset if we're late so hurry up!"
Makoto's words broke Usagi from her trance and she ran up the wide steps taking them
two at a time. Mako was right; she was the leader of the Senshi and it was time that she
acted like one. They were friends second and teammates first, and as leader she would
not be disrespected, it was time to set some ground rules.
Usagi stepped in front of Mako and proceeded to knock on Rei's door and winced at the
loud noise it made. It was Ami, not Rei who opened the door to welcome them, well that
is, if one can call a glare a welcome.
Everyone else it seemed was already there, all of them looking mildly impatient, except
for Mamoru who showed no emotion at all. Usagi nervously checked her watch. They
were early!
Minako, without even so much as a hello, grasped Makoto's arm gently before helping
her to a chair. Rei wouldn't even look at her; she instead proffered to focus on handing
out mugs of hot ginger spice tea, while Ami was pretending to be highly engrossed in one
of her big Physics text books. To the untrained eye it would seem as though the blue-
haired Senshi of Water would be studying, but her eyes never once moved and she hadn't
turned a page in the last five minutes. Feeling her eyes well up with tears at her friends'
icy welcome, Usagi stared blankly out one of the windows at the white, fluffy
nothingness known as snow, at a complete loss for what to do or say.
Luna's eyes locked with her charge's for one long moment before she bounded onto the
table and loudly cleared her throat.
::AHEM:: "Now that we are all present this meeting can get underway. We all are aware of the events that conspired last night, however, I at least, have yet to hear any explanations as to why things went the way they did. Usagi, once again the cat's lavender eyes found Usagi's blue ones, I am giving the floor to you now to do with what you wish. Please try to make this as short as possible, we know you have a life Usagi; we wouldn't want Senshi business to get in the way of your fun."
Usagi's legs turned to jelly as all eyes turned to her, and since all of the seats were taken,
she decided to make herself comfortable right there on the window sill.
She took a deep breath and gathered up what was left of her remaining courage before
she began speaking.
"Actually Luna, contrary to popular belief, that is not what happened. A snort could be heard from Minako on the opposite side of the room. Usagi turned to her fellow blonde before coolly replying: You wanted me to explain didn't you? It's about time you people listened to something I said, and take this seriously because I don't plan on having this conversation ever again. So shut your trap Minako and let me talk!"
Usagi Tuskino didn't know where the sudden confidence had come from, but it felt great.
"Last night was an accident; one that will never ever happen again, let me assure you."
"You're damn right it won't!" Rei burst out unfazed by the dark gaze Makoto was giving her. "We've put up with you for years and I, for one, am tired of picking up your slack because it's not fair!"
"Nothing we ever have to do is fair Rei! I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to accept that fact, but that's in the past. Look, last night I didn't have my communicator with me…but it was because I was with my parents. I would have had some major explaining to do if it had gone off in their presence!"
Ami opened her mouth, but did not have a chance to vocalize her question because Usagi knew what she was thinking and the answer she wanted.
"Why was I with my parents and without my communicator? Is that what you were going ask me? Well, let me tell you why. I was in the middle of getting screamed at for failing my Geometry Exam, that's why! There, I said it; I failed that stupid exam that I've been studying for the passed three weeks. But guess what, for some strange reason I really don't give a damn about that, but what I do give a damn about it the amount of respect, or lack thereof I receive on this team."
She focused on Rei, her big blue orbs filled determination. "Rei, you may be my friend, one of my best in fact, but I will not tolerate disrespect. Whether you like it or not I am leader, I am Sailor Moon, and let's just say it and get it out in the open: You guys can't do shit with out me!"
Usagi rolled her eyes when her Advisor's mouth dropped to the ground in shock.
"Pick your jaw up off the ground Luna and just listen to what I have to say. You guys know that I don't like using foul language…it's just not me. It takes a lot to piss me off and you guys have reached that point so you're gonna have to deal. C'mon guys, this is me here, Usagi, and it's time that we were real with each other. If I leave you guys are screwed, go on and admit it Luna…I'm right aren't I?"
Luna simply looked away, unable to respond. She knew that Usagi was right, even if she refused to admit to it…the earth would be doomed without her.
"Thought so… You know guys, I was talking with our good friend Mako earlier, and she made a valid point. I don't have to let you guys trod all over me in order to prove something. All these years, all I ever did was worry that you guys would kick me out or something or other, but you never did. You may have gotten angry, and you guys, especially you Rei, did make threats, but now I know that you guys would never do that. You need me like I need you, all of you. Don't you get it? People have their faults, people make mistakes, and friends are always there for each other. We have to---"
"Oh yeah, Minako broke in, then if you and Makoto over there are such good friends why did you allow her to get hurt like she did? Friends are always there for one another, but you weren't. Did you even apologize Usagi? No, I don't remember you doing anything like that, I don't remember a time in the passed couple months where you put someone else's feelings before your own. This entire meeting, once again, is all about you! And why is that? Because you are a selfish, bubble headed ditz with meatballs for brains, that's why! "
Makoto jumped up abruptly, temporarily putting an end to the other blonde's angry tirade. "That's enough! Her voice was hard with anger and her fists were balled tight, to the point that her knuckles were almost white. You will not speak to our Princess that way! I, the Senshi of Jupiter, will not allow it! Usagi puts everyone's feelings before her own every single moment, and what do we do? We rag on her constantly, and for what? So that we can let her know what a "horrible" job she's doing? I am not going sit by and let you bring down the sweetest person that I have ever met, not when we are supposed to be her friends! What is wrong with you people? You wanted her to study, you wanted her to get good grades, you wanted her to be on time to places, you wanted a leader, and that's all well and good, but there's one problem with that: You didn't want Usagi."
"Now that's where you're wrong Makoto. Mamoru began, standing as well. We want Usagi, and we still do, we just wanted her to grow up a bit! In order to measure up to her full potential she has to mature! You know that, I know that, and they know that, but I'm not sure she does!"
"You're right Mamoru, she doesn't know what you what you want! But what I do want is for you to stop talking about me like I'm not here! You are supposed to be my boyfriend, but I don't even know if you love me!"
"What the hell? Of course I love you Usako, you're my---"
"Yes, yes Mamoru, I know, I'm your Princess right? But is that all I am to you?"
The room fell silent as all the occupants waited breathlessly for Mamoru's answer.
"Usako I---"
"Answer the question Mamoru."
"…….."
"I am not going to play these games with you anymore Usagi when you already know the answer! It's time you about time grew up and stopped acting like a child. How in the world do expect to rule our future kingdom if you can't walk more than three feet with falling flat on your face?"
Usagi was shaking with what seemed to be rage, but inside she was trying her hardest not to cry. "I don't know the answer to that question Mamoru, but with the way things are going between us and this team, maybe we'll never get the chance to find out. After all, Queens are supposed to be graceful, they are supposed to be wise, and they are supposed to be beautiful. Since when in any part of the universe was there ever a dumb blonde with the title of Supreme Ruler? I can't answer that one either. I am, however, sorry that I made this meeting out to be all about me, we will not be having another one like this, of that you can be sure of."
"My communicator will now be kept on my person at all times, regardless of who I may be around. That's just a risk that one has to be willing to take right? I'll keep out of your hair until the next attack, whenever that will be. Don't worry about having to hang out with me at school, it's cool, I have been neglecting Naru anyway. Hopefully our next meeting will be a lot less…violent."
Usagi grasped her bag in her still trembling hands before thrusting open the Rei's door. "See you girls later and you too…Mamoru." And with that she was gone, out the door and into the cold.
Makoto was still standing minutes after her Princess had left, simply observing her
comrades. Mamoru was gone, he had left a few minutes after Usagi. Ami was struggling
to both pack her books up and keep her tears from flooding over onto her cheeks. Rei was
busy collecting the used dishes and Minako was talking privately with Luna and Artemis.
She had never seen Usagi act the way she had before today, it wasn't the girl's nature to
be mean or to hurt people, but apparently that didn't mean that she couldn't do it.
Makoto slipped out the door unnoticed, prepared to make her way back to her apartment
so that she could call Usagi.
::LATER THAT NIGHT::
Usagi sat on her bed and stared lifelessly into her mirror. She had gone a little heavy on
the eye shadow but she didn't really care, not anymore. Besides, it wasn't like any of
those people would ever see her again, except for Connie, but that was different because
Connie understood. She ran a hand over her black leather pants, reveling in the
comforting feel of leather on her bare skin. Her top was a long sleeved black turtle neck
with intricate designs of dragons sewn all over it, and both the pants and the turtle neck
seemed to go perfectly with her sexy, knee-length, black boots.
At half passed eleven, all the lights in the Tuskino household were out, and everyone was
snuggled safely into bed, all except for one…the black sheep. She opened her window
and slipped on her shoes, readying to leap out of her pink and purple prison, but not
before casting one last backward glance at the flashing red light on her answering
machine. It was probably either Mako or Mamoru, neither of whom she wanted to talk to
right now. Usagi made one last mental check before making sure her door was securely
locked and that her phone was off the hook, just in case somebody decided that midnight
was a great time to make a call. When she was sure that everything was in place she leapt
out her window onto the ground without even so much as a hair out of place.
Tonight she was going to let go and be somebody else, anyone but stupid ol' Usagi.
Tonight, she was going to let loose and hang out with someone who actually cared about
her well being.
::CONNIE'S BOYFRIEND'S PLACE::
Upon her arrival, Connie had welcomed her with open arms before ushering her around
and introducing her to nearly everyone at the party, including her boyfriend, Toko. He
was well built, about Mamoru's height, with broad shoulders and muscular arms. His hair
was light brown and wavy. Toko seemed very nice, a little strange maybe, but very nice
just the same.
His house was rather large, hell, it was like a freaking mansion! People were talking,
dancing, or drinking, but everyone was having a good time.
When Connie had suggested that she dance, Usagi had been nervous, but that didn't last
for very long. She had jumped right in, shaking and swaying her body to the beat of the
music. Usagi danced with guy after guy, blocking Mamoru's image from her thoughts as
she let the music draw her in.
Around her people were laughing, and as she did a spin she what she thought to be the
glint of metal around various parts of the house, but she shrugged it off. When she grew
tired of the relentless groping and the heavy smell of smoke, Usagi made her way through
the throng of people until she found a pair of doors leading outside. Breathing deeply so
as to draw fresh oxygen into her burning lungs.
She stood there for what seemed like hours, and not even when the snow began to fall did
she make a move to go back to the party; instead she proffered to be alone. She wanted to
think, and for the first time that night since she had snuck out of her house, Usagi felt
alone and lost, like she didn't belong. Brushing away a stray tear that had begun making
its way down her cheek, she sighed deeply before turning her head upwards to look at the
nearly pitch-black night sky.
"You do know that it's like twenty-something degrees out here right?" Drawled a deep, rich voice from behind her. Usagi was roughly brought back to the real world by the sound of the voice. How long had he been standing there just watching her space out? Now he probably thought she was some sort of an idiot.
He set two plastic cups filled with an amber liquid on the table behind him before turning
to face her. He was tall, probably taller than Mamoru, with what looked to short chestnut
colored hair, but it was hard to tell, even with the flood lights on. The man flashed a
toothy grin and wiggled his eyebrows in greeting. His body was muscular and his skin
looked healthy and tan, while is big caramel colored eyes shined with mirth.
"Such a pretty girl shouldn't be standing out here all alone. She should be somewhere warm, like back inside enjoying the party."
"I'm fine really. I just needed some air." Usagi couldn't understand why she was defending herself when she didn't even know the boy who was speaking to her.
He took both of her small, red hands in his large ones and began to gently massage them.
Usagi hadn't realized just how numb her fingers had become until now.
"Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I think you've done enough thinking for one night. I'm sorry, he said with a chuckle, where are my manners? I'm Mark Ishno, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss…?"
"Uh, it's Usagi." She stammered shyly.
"Ah, rabbit of the moon, how fitting. Well my mysterious rabbit, how about a drink to warm that body up?" Usagi, unsure of whether or not she should accept simply shrugged her shoulders. "I swear it's only coke, I'm definitely not that kind of guy." He smiled gently when the young girl gently took the cup from him and began to drink.
They sat down in two vacant lawn chairs and stared blankly up at the cold, starless sky
above them.
"So, do you happen to have a boyfriend Miss Usagi?"
"Yes---No, I mean well…."
"It's either a yes or a no. It's important to know when and if you're gonna get your nose broken by a hot girl's boyfriend before things get serious."
"No, I do not have a boyfriend of any kind Mark. But we've only known each other for five minutes!" She burst out, straining to hold back a giggle.
"Depending upon how you look at it, five minutes is like a lifetime…so I'd say we're pretty serious." Mark turned his head from Usagi to the house as groans could be heard coming from inside. "Looks like someone's playing a slow song…care to cut a rug?"
Usagi blushed deeply before nodding in agreement and standing. He stood as well and
slipped his arms around her waist, but not before gently wrapping her arms around his
neck. Both closed their eyes and moved with the music, completely cut off from the
outside world.
They kept dancing long after the song had ended, perfectly content with being in each
other's arms. Mark, spun Usagi one last time, making her giggle as she waited for the
world in front of her to stop spinning…but it never did.
Usagi let out a half giggle, half scream when Mark's face went from kind and sweet to
distorted and menacing. Her world began spinning faster and faster…to the point where it
was making her sick to her stomach. She mumbled something incoherently as her legs
gave out from under her.
"So sleepy Mamo---" Was all Usagi could say before she slipped into the icy blackness.
"Don't worry my little rabbit, I'll take care of you. You just rest awhile and everything will be just fine." He whispered the words as he stroked her forehead. That's a good girl, no one's going to hurt you anymore…not anymore…"
