Hello all! I realize I haven't finished my last story, and I will be adding more to it in the next day or so, but this is an idea that came to me at about 3:30 this morning as I celebrated 3 weeks of insomnia. Yay! This is post-Stars, Usagi, Mamoru and a lot of interfering people. Chibi Usa is long gone. Usagi and Mamoru were never together in this lifetime, though they have fought together - and can't stop arguing no matter what. Motoki knows everything. I hope you enjoy it, as I had nothing better to do this morning, since I'd cleaned everything within in inch of its life. If anyone knows any remedies for insomnia, please let me know - my longest period of insomnia was 9 ½ weeks. Standard disclaimers apply. Hope you enjoy! No flames and remember I write based on reviews!
He scowled at her from across the arcade as she sneered back at him. Two enemies who loved to hate each other despite having been lovers in a previous life. "So Odango," he drawled. "Putting off your studies for another day I see."
"Bugger off Mamoru." She retorted, trying her best to ignore him.
"Such language." He admonished.
"What's it matter to you?" she spat.
"I was just trying to be concerned Odango."
"My name is Usagi you half wit."
"If I recall correctly, you go by another name as well." He responded, not thinking of what he was saying. When her face went pale as a sheet, he hastily held his hands up. "Gomen nasai Odango. I didn't mean that."
Usagi's face was pinched with pain as she looked at him, her face closed and sad. "Didn't you?" she asked in a whisper. "A thousand years ago we were in love, a thousand years ago we couldn't keep our hands off each other, and now look at us."
"I don't know what I was like a thousand years ago," he scoffed. "But I do know that I could never have truly loved you."
"Evidently," she replied acidly. "And I never truly loved you, it was a marriage of convenience of course, everything we did was an act."
"As most royal marriages were Odango." He retorted. "You look exactly the same as you did back then, and I thought you were a scrawny, flat chested, silly haired little pup then. My opinion hasn't changed."
"It's good to see we agree, because in both lifetimes you are an arrogant bastard." She snapped at him. "I've told you before to never mention…BACK THEN to me. I don' t care what we were then, we obviously are not now and I'm happy that way. I do not like you Mamoru and I want you to go and leave me alone now."
"Nothing could please me more." He snapped. "I feel my IQ dropping in your presence."
She opened her mouth and then snapped it shut, unwilling to stay near him any longer. "I hope you rot in hell." She snarled. "And I hope I'm the one who sends you there."
"You go first and tell me how the weather is." He retorted.
"Asshole."
"Childish."
"Bastard."
"Spoiled."
"Arrogant son of a…"
"Would you two knock it off? If not for each other than for the sake of my business!" Motoki roared at them across the arcade. "Shut up!"
Applause greeting his statement, shouts of 'hear hear' going up. Usagi and Mamoru flushed as they jerked their gazes from each other. "You heard him Odango, leave." Mamoru said tersely.
"ExCUSE ME? WHY THE HELL SHOULD I LEAVE?" Usagi yelled.
"I was here first, and you are the one making the commotion."
"Everything was just fine until you came over and stuck your nose in where it wasn't wanted!" she spat.
"Yes I SO loved watching you make a fool of yourself over Motoki, a man who has a girlfriend." Mamoru said through clenched teeth. "And this is the girl I'm supposed to be in love with?"
"This is the girl who crawled halfway through the Dark Kingdom for you, let you torture her and hurt her to save your life." Usagi said harshly. "I don't know why I was so stupid, I should have just left you for Beryl to use as her little toy."
"I did say thank you for coming after me."
"You did not." Usagi shook her head. "You didn't say a word when I saved you from the Makaiju either. Or when I fought the Wiseman, or when I went up against Pharaoh 90 and was revealed to be the Messiah, or when I was nearly smothered by that balloon from the Amazon Trio or when I went up against Nehelenia for you, or when I went up against Galaxia for you! You took it for granted, and here we are now, with some new threatening…"
"And I'm still coming to save your sorry ass!" he snapped, not liking her accusations. "And you watch your mouth!"
"Coming to save me sorry ass? Why the HELL don't you look at your own track record Tuxedo Kamen?" she said in a low voice. "Whenever it comes to a serious battle or something important, you just miraculously managed to get INJURED so conveniently."
"You think I do that on purpose?" he asked, incredulous. "Are you brain dead?"
"Not as much as you appear to be."
"Listen here you pasty faced, Odango haired little piece of…"
"You want a piece of me?" Usagi taunted.
"Never in this lifetime. Goddess I must have been an idiot a thousand years ago!"
"And still counting."
"Why you miserable…"
Motoki moaned with agony and leaned over the table where Makoto, Minako, Ami and Rei were trying to hide and ignore Usagi and Mamoru lay into each other. "Please make them stop. You're Sailor Senshi, can't you shut them up?"
"We've tried." Rei said in a tight voice.
"And failed." Makoto sighed. "There is nothing on this earth that will get them to stop fighting."
"Didn't you say they were in love a thousand years ago or something?" Motoki probed.
"They claim they WEREN'T, but we know that's a lie. Goddess Motoki a thousand years ago Usagi could have been arrested for treason, because Earth was the enemy and she was consorting with it. He could have been killed for trespassing on the Moon where his kind weren't wanted. They did this knowingly and willingly in the name of love." Minako said, shaking her head. "And I know about love."
"What do you feel between them now? Any love?"
"Unbridled hatred that they don't even bother to keep hidden. And after all she's done for him too!" Minako exclaimed. "Risking her life in the Dark Kingdom to save him! Fighting that overgrown geranium that Ail and Ann had to keep him safe, thinking she might have loved him. And now that both remember and we are facing our strongest enemy yet, they can't stand the sight of each other! They were bad back when this all began, and now…"
"I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of those verbal blades." Makoto admitted. "Listen to them go…"
"I hear them." Motoki said grimly, standing up and raising his voice once more. "I already TOLD you two to shut up! And watch the language would you? This is a FAMILY place! There ARE children present!"
"Bite me Motoki!" Usagi snapped, turning back to arguing with Mamoru.
Motoki blinked, never having heard Usagi talk to him like that. He turned to the girls who also looked thunderstruck, with the exception of Minako who was giggling slightly. "Did she just say what I thought she said?" he asked.
Rei nodded her head, biting her lips to keep the smile off them. She had been on the receiving end of Usagi's temper and…extensive vocabulary more than once, often being surprised at how large her vocabulary was. But Usagi never used her…more unique phrases on anyone other than Rei or Mamoru, so this was a first. And it was funny if for no other reason than Motoki was left gaping like a fish. "She did." She said in a too-calm voice, and her composure shattered as she dissolved into laughter. "Oh Motoki! The look on your face!"
Even stolid Ami's eyes were watering with suppressed laughter. "Can you get them to break it up?" he pleaded. "People are staring!"
"People always stare when those two get going, and it doesn't matter where either. If they see each other, they fight. There's here…" Makoto counted off.
"The mall, the park, the movies, stores…" Minako added.
"The library, the bookstore…" Ami put in her two cents.
"The porta-potties at the fair…" Rei interjected. "My jinja, the ice- cream truck, the lake, the rowboats…"
"Feeding the swans…fighting the Dark Moon Family…." Minako continued.
"Are you serious?" Motoki exclaimed.
Four heads nodded. "It doesn't matter for what or why. They argue constantly and for no apparent reason other than the other one of them is there." Ami sighed. "It gets exhausting having to pull those two apart."
Rei nodded. "And infuriating."
They winced as Usagi let loose a fresh barrage of pithy insults on Mamoru who responded with gusto, roaring loudly at her. "And this is where we come in." Minako winked at him. "Look, her hands are reaching for his throat."
Ami's eyes widened. "Oh dear. She's going to kill him."
"USAGI!" Minako squealed as leapt up and ran over to her friend, grabbing her briefcase and Usagi's and hauling her out by the arm. "I SIMPLY MUST tell you about…" her voice trailed off as she pulled her down the street and silence fell in the arcade at last.
Sighs were heard from all around as people shook their heads and a few people beat their ears to make sure that they could still hear. Makoto walked over to Mamoru who's mouth was still open in shock. "Why the hell did she do that?" he asked, grumpy.
"Because if she didn't, Usagi would have killed you." Ami commented. "She doesn't reach for someone's throat unless her intent is to kill."
"Oh please, like that Odango Atama could ever harm me." Mamoru scoffed.
"Mamoru, you have to try to get along with her." Motoki pleaded.
"Why?" he glared at them like they had lost their minds.
"Unless…" Rei trailed off, her eyes lighting up. "You LIKE fighting with her! It's your mo right? It gives you a chance to be with her because…"
"You love her!" Makoto blurted. "You've fallen in love with her right?"
Mamoru laughed curtly. "Don't be so stupid. Of course I don't love or like her. I can't stand her!"
"Then why do you always come over to her and bother her, when she ignores you?" Ami asked quietly.
"Always insulting her and drawing her into a fight?" Makoto added.
"Keeping her antagonized enough that she draws the fight out?" Rei nodded. "You love her I think."
"And about time." Ami sighed. "After all she's done for you."
"Hello! I'm still right here and I'm telling you that I do NOT love Odango! I don't like her! And as for all she's done for me, I spend the better part of my life running in to save her ass!!" Mamoru shouted.
"Methinks he doth protest a trifle too much." Motoki quipped, smiling broadly. "Why didn't I see it before?"
"Because there is nothing to see." Mamoru snapped.
"I don't think so." Makoto said in a sing-song voice. "Now that we know, we are going to help."
Mamoru closed his eyes. All of his nightmares were coming true. "No, please, I beg of you not to help. Leave me alone."
"You'll be alone forever if we don't help." Ami sighed. "Now, we need to work out a plan…"
"And bring all the other senshi in on it too." Makoto said eagerly.
"I'm leaving now!" Mamoru shouted over the raised - and eager - voices of the girls. And Motoki. He sighed. "It just goes to show you what side he's on."
"What side who's on?"
Mamoru groaned as he saw Haruka and Michiru standing outside the doors and peering in. "Never mind." He quickly walked towards his motorcycle and got on, leaving them in a cloud of dust and smoke. Michiru blinked at Haruka. "Should we find out what that was all about?"
Haruka watched the giggling and scheming crowd within. "Michi," she sighed. "I have a feeling we are going to find out all too soon."
"MINAKO! LET ME GO!" Usagi hollered. "How DARE you stampede over to me like a high hippo and haul me out of there like a sack of wheat! I am not going to be manhandled in this way!"
"Whatever." Minako ignored her best friend and continued dragging her bodily to her home.
"Where are we going?"
"To my house." Minako nodded. "We need to have a little chat, you and I."
"I don't think so." Usagi scoffed. "I have other places to be and I'm angry at you!"
"No you're not." Minako laughed. "You can't get or stay mad at me. It's impossible! We're too much alike!"
"Thanks bunches." Usagi grumbled. "Minako please, I just want to go home."
"Nope, you should have thought of that before you started fighting with Mamoru again!" she said cheerfully. "Now you have to pay!"
"What do you mean? HE started it!"
"And you continued with it!" Minako retorted. "You like him, don't you?"
"ME?" Usagi said shrilly. "Of course I don't! Whatever gave you that stupid idea?"
"Usagi," Minako stared at her. "I am the Goddess of Love. I haven't told anyone what you feel, but I can sense your emotions. They are there."
"Your wires must be crossed then." Usagi shook her head. "I do NOT love Chiba Mamoru!" she hollered, ignoring the stares of people around them.
"And I'm glad to hear it." His voice said smoothly from behind her. "Fancy finding you here Odango."
"You!" she shrieked. "Are you following me?"
"I could ask the same."
"You miserable, low down, half witted, scruffy looking…"
"Time for us to go!" Minako intervened before Usagi got up to speed. "Good talking to you Mamoru, now shoo."
"Odango, don't go falling in love with me now!" he called after her.
"I'd rather love a snake." Usagi retorted. "Wait, they're higher up on the evolutionary ladder than you are."
"Impressive, big words. Do you know what the evolutionary ladder is?" he arched an eyebrow at her.
"Oh shut up." Usagi said irritably.
Minako sighed and clamped back onto Usagi's arm, yanking her down the street. This was going to be harder than she thought. Two more stubborn people had never been born!
Well that ends my little midnight writing spree. I hope you enjoyed it and let me know if there is any point in continuing this storyline! Check out my websites eh? Emails and reviews are life to me, so please do review! Would anyone like to read more? Please let me know. My next chapter for my other story "What else can I do" should be up either today or tomorrow.
Ja!
