This is my first fanfic so be nice and send comments to pearlhsu@home.com This story is an alternate time story so there's no fighting. It's just a romantic story between Usagi and Mamoru. In this story, Usagi is currently dating Seiya but don't worry, I don't like Seiya very much. This takes place in Japan. You'll have to discover the rest. I didn't create the characters but I created the story. I'm only borrowing the Sailormoon names and personalities. I'm writing this because I've been inspired by the many great fanfics I've been reading. So, if my fanfic looks a bit like yours, take it as a compliment that you inspired me. Please don't flame me. "this is someone talking" <> So, here I go! Enjoy! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ THAT BLIND KISS BY PEARL Usagi stepped out of the elevator and was greeted by a chauffeur. "Good evening, Miss Usagi." The chauffeur said. Usagi nodded her head at him as a sign of recognition. "Good evening." "I have the limo waiting right outside for you, miss." "Thank you." As Usagi stepped out of the foyer of her apartment, she saw the black limo. She smiled. <> She stepped into the limo when the chauffeur opened the door for her. When she was seated, the chauffeur quickly took his position and started the engine. "Where are we going today, Motoki-kun?" Usagi asked the chauffeur. "Just to master Seiya's house, Miss Usagi." Motoki answered. "Please, just call me Usagi." "Not if I want to keep my job, miss." "Oh, I understand." Usagi sighed and sank into her seat. The limo was designed for eight people so she had lots of room. The inside was all black. Everything possible was made out of leather. <> As they entered downtown Tokyo, Usagi recalled how she had met Seiya... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Usagi was just a model who loved designing clothes. She had a certain feel for fashion and she was filled with creativity. She had graduated from university for mathematics but she had lost interest in that area long ago. Usagi had always loved art and designing but her father strongly disapproved of her taking those courses in university because he thought they were useless. After university, Usagi decided to move out of her parents' house and live by herself. She started modeling for famous brands because she loved the atmosphere and the attention. Also, the job gave her enough money for her living. Even though Usagi had a fine life, she never forgot her real interest. She loved designing and it just wasn't enough to model the clothes she wore, she wanted to design them. So, with the encouragement of her best friend and fellow model, Minako, she applied for a job at the company that she was currently modeling for, Galaxy. Galaxy was just a developing name in clothes but Usagi loved the opportunity. She loved how Galaxy produced all kinds of clothing and how they were different yet very reasonable. Usagi started working for Galaxy one year after she graduated from university. She started out as a secretary to one of the main designers, Hino Rei, and was allowed to give a few of her ideas from time to time. The boss from Galaxy liked Usagi's style and kept a watch on her. When Rei left the company to start her own business, Usagi was given the opportunity to become one of the two major designers of the company. She was so excited yet scared of the opportunity. She was excited because her life-long dream was finally coming true but she scared because she was afraid she would disappoint the boss or run out of ideas. After a meeting with the boss, she decided to take the job. And so, Usagi was now one of the two major designers in Galaxy. She was the biggest in the Tokyo office. The boss had another office at Osaka. That was where the other major designer was. She had never met the other designer. All she knew was that he was in charge of designing the men's department. From that, she assumed he was a guy. She never spent anymore thought on him. A year after she became the main designer in women's clothing, she introduced Minako to her boss and her boss decided to let Minako work as her secretary. At the same time, they were busy working towards a Christmas fashion show. Their boss was busy running between Osaka and Tokyo to organize the whole thing. Minako and Usagi both had to stay at the office three hours longer than the normal working hours and they even slept over night at the office a few times. Even though everyone at the office pitied the two, they were having fun. Usagi loved designing winter clothes because she loved feeling warm while looking chic. She came up with designs that looked even summerish but kept the person warm. Minako's job wasn't as easy as drawing and dreaming though. She had to find all the material that Usagi thought of and phone all the companies to see if they were available. Knowing Usagi, she had the hardest job of all. Usagi must have had the biggest creativity a person could possibly have. She loved her job and excelled greatly at it. The boss marveled at how fast the two were working and how devoted they were to the show. The Osaka office was doing just as great and the outlook of the show looked really promising. The Osaka office was just as creative but the atmosphere at Tokyo was happier and more relaxed. Usagi didn't work like the Osaka office's efficiency. She sometimes would just sit there and look through magazines at other people's designs or doodle on a piece of paper while watching a show on TV. The boss didn't mind though because every forty minutes, Usagi would get a huge smile on her face and yell "YES!" or "I've GOT IT!" When the office heard that, they knew that bubbly Usagi got another great idea. After that, the whole office would be working their butt off trying to find all the materials that Usagi wanted and contacting the manufacture with the new design. Usagi would be shouting happily at everyone and trying to explain her idea uselessly to everyone in the office. Everyone would laugh at the excited expression on Usagi's face and the whole office's spirit will be lifted by Usagi's happy outburst. Usagi's ideas worked very nicely and so Galaxy was ready for the Christmas fashion show. At the boss's insistence, Usagi modeled some of her own designs. She walked with an air no one could copy and all the other models looked up to her. She modeled outfit after outfit while people watched with fascination as reporters snapped until they went blind with the flashes. Usagi loved the atmosphere and was absolutely drowning with excitement when she discovered that the Three Lights were also present. Usagi saw Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki seated at the front row with her boss. She looked for the Osaka designer but never found him. She wanted to tell him that he had some fabulous designs and wanted to ask if she could use some of them. She was proud that she worked along with someone so creative. After the show was over, Usagi slipped into one of her favorite designs and joined the celebration party. The Three Lights performed a song as a special number and her boss introduced them to her. Usagi was so delighted in meeting the Three Lights she forgot all about asking for the Osaka designer. A while later, Seiya approached Usagi while she was talking to Minako. Seiya complimented her on her excellent work and beautiful modeling. She chatted with Seiya on his success in showbiz while Minako silently slipped away to track down another Light. Usagi found Seiya really interested in her life and she felt really special. Seiya and Usagi shared jokes and laughs as other girls stared at Usagi with hatred burning in their eyes. Usagi didn't notice them because she was too caught up in her bewilderment from talking to the Light. Finally, when the party was nearly ending, Seiya invited Usagi to his concert. He gave her a free ticket and a pass to the celebrity party held after the concert. Usagi attended all of Seiya's concerts from then on and Seiya took her to all the parties. Seiya loved how good he looked with a beautiful model by his side and Usagi just couldn't refuse to be with the Three Lights all the time. The press made Seiya and Usagi look like they were in love even though many people knew that they weren't. Seiya was really interested in Usagi and so he kept calling her to all his public appearances. Usagi thought Seiya was a nice friend so she never refused. Therefore, Usagi and Seiya were declared a couple. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Usagi looked up as the limo stopped in front of Seiya's apartment. <> "We're here, Miss Usagi." Motoki announced. "Yes, I know." Usagi said, a bit too bored. "Are you tired, Miss?" "No, I'm fine. Arigato, Motoki-kun." Usagi replied as she stepped out of the limo and into the apartment. As she walked to the elevators, Michiru stepped out of one. "Hello, Usagi-chan!" Michiru said as she gave Usagi a smile. "Oh hi, Michiru-san. What are you doing here?" Usagi asked the woman she met while at one of the parties of the Three Lights. Seiya had introduced Michiru to Usagi and they had become good friends. Michiru told Usagi that she loved Usagi's designs and were surprised that they were so comfortable to wear. Usagi had really liked Michiru from then on. Michiru absently brushed her lush green hair back and answered Usagi, "I came here to talk to the Lights about an upcoming show that they want me to do with them. I guess you'll go? You always do." Usagi sighed, "Yes, I'll be there. It seems like attending parties is all I ever do now. I don't even have enough time to work on extra designs." "You know, it wouldn't hurt to not go to one of the parties once in a while." Michiru said. "I know but Seiya'll probably get mad." Usagi noted. Michiru waved a hand at Motoki to tell him to wait and told Usagi, "Seiya's not your life. Just give him a cute smile and see what he'll do." "I'll see what I do. I have to get going, I'm gonna be late." Usagi exclaimed as she looked at her watch. "Have a nice date!" Michiru said to Usagi as she got in the limo. "The other two Lights are still there so don't worry about being stuck with just Seiya." Michiru waved to Usagi as she got into the limo. <> Usagi pushed the button and got into the elevator which opened for her. She looked at all the buttons and pushed the one labeled 'roof'. She smiled as she saw a sticker of the Three Lights stuck right beside the button and leaned against the wall to wait for the elevator to reach it's destination. <> When the elevators stopped, Usagi got off and went to the only door on that floor. She leaned on the door as she took out her mirror to check her make-up before ringing the bell. Yaten opened the door while she had all her weight on it, making her fall. "Yaten!!!" Usagi growled. "And I'm glad to see you too." Laughed Yaten. "You're late, I've been waiting to do that for ten minutes. I see it was worth the wait!" "You're gonna get it someday!" Said the angry Usagi between clenched teeth. "You're just like Minako!" "Huh? Who's Minako?" Yaten asked. "She's my best friend. You should meet her, you guys can drive each other nuts." Usagi said as she got up and straightened her dress. "Got caught, Usagi-chan?" Taiki asked from the living room. "You gotta hurry, all of Seiya's hair's gonna fall off by the time you get to his room. He's been brushing it for the last two hours." Usagi giggled. "Hello, Taiki-kun. Seiya has a whole ponytail full of hair so he can lose as much as he likes." She said as she walked into Seiya's room. "I heard that, odango!" Remarked Seiya. "I know." "Welcome, Usagi-chan. Come in. I don't have much time tonight because we have a big show coming up and we have to do a lot of rehearsing these days. I just needed you to come so I can give you your ticket. Here." Seiya handed Usagi two tickets along with backstage passes. Usagi smiled. "Thanx, Seiya! I could bring my friend!" "Of course, odango." Seiya patted her on the head. Usagi pouted, "I'm NOT an odango!" "Sure you are!" Answered Seiya. "My name is Tsukino Usagi!" Usagi pointed out. "Oh? Tsukimi odango! (translation: an odango you eat while watching the moon, mentioned in episode 174)" Seiya joked back. Usagi made a really funny face that looked like an odango. "Anyway," Usagi started. "I have to get back soon so I can't stay long." "Nani? Why?" "Well, I'm a little behind in my designing these days and I need to catch up." Usagi explained. "Oh." Seiya said, disappointed. "You can at least have dinner with us." "Sure, why not? What are you having?" "I don't know yet." Seiya answered. "Yaten! What are we having?" Yaten walked in with a totally professional expression and looked at Usagi. "You like French, Chinese, English, American, Tai, or Greek?" Usagi's eyes brightened at the mention of food but tried to hide it. "Umm, anything's fine, Yaten-kun." "Okay. I'll get a bit of each." Yaten decided. A question mark appeared on Usagi's head and she asked, "You're gonna call that many places!??" "No, Mako's Diner has every kind. Suits us lazy people very well, ne?" Yaten answered as he headed towards the phone. Usagi ate dinner at the Three Lights' and got ready to leave at nine O'clock. "So, I'll be leaving then. It's Monday tomorrow, I'll have to start working for the summer fashion show. Ja ne, Seiya-kun." "Bye, Usagi-chan!" The Three Lights said at once. Seiya got up to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Bye, odango." When Usagi stepped out, Yaten got a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about, Yaten-kun?" Seiya asked his happy brother. At that exact time, Usagi's loud scream could be heard. "YATEN!!!!" Yaten burst out laughing, "That." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Search for your love!" Usagi wasn't paying attention to the concert. She was too involved in her upcoming show to watch while the Three Lights sang. Minako, on the other hand, was way enthused. "Oh! Aren't they great, Usagi-chan!??" She remarked. "They are sssooooo perfect! So handsome, so... WOW!" She turned her head to look at Usagi. "Usagi?" Usagi wasn't paying any attention to her. She just kept staring at the bottom of the stage. "Moshi, moshi, Usagi-chan?" "Huh?" Usagi snapped out of her trance. "Nani, Minako-chan?" "You were staring at the stage, Usagi! Pay attention to the concert! Isn't Yaten-kun absolutely dreamy? Oh, Taiki is so hunky too!!!" Minako went on with her gushing as the concert proceeded. Usagi was too tired to watch. <> As she looked up to the Three Lights from her front row seat, she saw Seiya wink at her. Usagi blushed bright red as he gave her a smile. Five girls behind her fainted at the wink and Minako swooned at the smile. "Lucky, Usagi-chan! Seiya's totally gone on you!" Minako whispered to her. The concert finished when the song ended and Minako grabbed Usagi by her arm and dragged her out the door before anyone even got off their seats. "What are you in such a hurry for, Minako-chan?" Asked Usagi. Minako left a trail of dust behind her and Usagi as she proceeded to run at high speed. "I wanna, (pant pant) get to the back stage." Minako answered. The stadium was huge and so it wasn't easy running around to back stage. With the number of fans the Three Lights had, no stadium was big enough for them. Usagi and Minako ran for at least ten minutes before they saw the sign labeled 'back stage'. By the time they got there, the Three Lights were already changed and ready for the party. Michiru was also there, waiting for Minako and Usagi. "Shoot!" Exclaimed Minako. "What is it, Minako-chan?" Asked Usagi. "I wanted to get to Yaten-kun before he was ready so I could make him go with me. Once we get to the party, I won't be able to see him over the mob of girls!" Minako answered sadly. Usagi looked sympathetically at Minako then waved to Yaten. "Hey, Yaten-kun! Mind if my friend here sticks with you tonight? You guys can share prank ideas!" Usagi asked with a huge grin on her face. "Sure!" Yaten yelled out. He held out a hand to Minako and Minako took it, surprise shown on her face. "I have MANY prank ideas for tonight!" As Yaten lead Minako away, they began sharing their ideas and plans for the night. Usagi looked around for Seiya but she couldn't find him. <> "Boom!" Sounded the door as Seiya kicked the door open. Then, Seiya stepped out of the door with hundreds of girls fawning over him and Taiki. "Odango!" Seiya yelled out purposely for the girls to hear. They turned to examine Usagi for a second before they turned all their attention on poor Taiki. Usagi giggled at the look of despair on Taiki's face. <> "So, did you miss me?" Seiya asked Usagi playfully as he slipped an arm around her waist. "Me? Miss you? I don't think so. With all the girls planning my early death because of you?" Usagi asked him back sarcastically. "Tis the price you pay for being famous!" "Yeah. Whatever." Meanwhile, Yaten and Minako were planning away, both laughing with their excitement. "and then, they'll be so surprised!" "Yes! I cant wait!" "All the screaming!" Sweat drops appeared on MIchiru, Seiya, Usagi, and Taiki's heads as they groaned. "So, Michiru-san, are you going with us?" Usagi asked the woman. "No, I'm waiting for my escort right now. He sould be coming any moment." Michiru answered. Taiki turned to Michiru, "I guess we have to leve you here then. We have to get going. The party's starting in fiften minutes." "Oh. That's okay. I can wait here." With that, the Three Lights plus MInako and Usagi entered the Lightmobile and were off to the party. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Whew! That was tiring!" Usagi sat down after the music ended. It was really hard dancing in her heels. Especially to the extremely fast music that just ended. It was a song by the Three Lights but Usagi wasn't paying attention. She was busy looking at everyone's dresses for ideas she could use in her designs. Seiya was extra good at dancing to his own music and it made Usagi embarrassed because she wasn't that good at dancing. All the fans' vicious glares at her didn't help much either. Usagi sighed as Seiya went to get her a drink. "Why the sigh, Usagi-chan?" Asked Michiru as she sat down beside Usagi. Usagi pondered for a moment. "Well, I feel not god enough for dancing with Seiya-kun. He's too fast. It's so hard to catch up to him." Michiru laughed at Usagi. "I'd say you were quite good. There were a lot of guys who stared at YOU when you two were dancing." "Yeah, right! Say, Michiru-san, who'd you come with? Is the boss here?" Michiru shook her head, "No, I came with another guy you probably don't know. You see that line up over here? It's the line for dancing with my partner." "Oh? I'd like to meet him sometime. Who is he to you?" "He's just a friend. I gave him the ticket that your boss didn't want. I'll introduce you guys later, if you want." Usagi smiled at Michiru, "That would be nice, thank you." "Odango! There you are. How about another dance? Keep the girls off me for a few minutes?" A desperate Seiya came over to her, holding out his hand. Michiru shoved Usagi lightly, "Go, Usagi-chan. Have fun!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ <> As a girl in green approached him, he sighed in relief. "Ah, there you are! Where have you been? I've been stalked the whole time." The girl smiled at his panicking expression. "Oh, I was just talking to a friend of mine. She's been dancing a lot. How have you been avoiding your fan club?" "Don't mention it. I feel like I'm being examined by everyone here!" "Well, then. You should come out more often. Let people get to know you." <> "So, when does this party end?" He asked. "Not for a LONG time, pal! (Giggle at the doomed expression on his face) I'm going to get a drink. Be back." At that, she disappeared among the crowd. "Wait!" He yelled out but was too late. <> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Usagi blushed as Seiya pulled her closer for the slow dance then winced at the killing looks the other girls gave her. <> Usagi looked at a girl with short blue hair. She was wearing a long blue dress that went down to her ankles. The dress wasn't full of frills or anything fancy. It was simple but beautiful. It reminded Usagi of the ocean. Usagi saw Taiki go up to the girl. It seemed lie they knew each other. <> The girl glanced at the trail of fans behind Taiki before she agreed to dance with him. The music was slow. She looked really good in her dress. <> Seiya noticed that Usagi wasn't paying attention to her dancing. He turned her head around by her chin until she had her full attention on him. Usagi started to get really nervous. He wanted to kiss her but remembered something. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you," Seiya started to say after the music stopped, "Yaten said that he-" Darkness. The lights went out. "YATEN!!!" Seiya yelled out to the ceiling, furious. Usagi looked around in the dark, confused. When everyone finally stopped shrieking and panicking, the speakers came on and someone cleared his throat. "Hello everyone!" Yaten's voice came on through the speakers. Laughter could be heard in the background. Laughter that sounded really much like, like... <> Usagi thought, astonished. <> Yaten continued, "Now is the time for the kissing moment in the dark! Have LOTS of fun! He he he..." Usagi was too confused. <> "Seiya!!!" A bunch of girls shouted out as they grabbed him and dragged him away from Usagi. Usagi was too shocked to react at first. Seiya was taken away and it suddenly got so noisy that Usagi couldn't make out any voices at all. She decided that it would be useless to try and find Seiya through the crowd in the dark. <> Usagi wondered all around the room but couldn't make out anyone because it was too dark. She thought about how the girls were so excited to drag Seiya off and kiss him in the dark. Usagi had never been kissed in her whole life. She got nervous whenever Seiya tried. After a few minutes of wondering around in the dark, Usagi concluded that it was no use trying to find anyone she knew. There was almost no light at all in the room and no one even cared if they bumped into her. People kept running around trying to find people they cared about. It was chaos. It seemed like everyone had somebody who cared for them. Everyone had someone they waned to find. Usagi suddenly felt left out. She was alone. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ He wondered around in the dark, tryng to find his friend. He didn't like the thought of being lost by himself. Even though he was used to being by himself, he felt really lost just then. It was like his nightmare. The nightmare which repeatedly reminds him that he is alone, that no one would care about him. <> He thought as he stumbled between couples and mumbbled "sorry" to each pair he broke up. <> Everything was so crazy all around him that he thought he would explode. He was like a lost child trying to find parents he didn't know. He quickly shook this feeling off and continued to wander around for nothing. He just let his instincts tell him where to go. May be he'll end up with someone he knew. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Everyone busied themselves trying to find kissable subjects. Usagi just didn't know what to do. She just stood there, shocked to find herself alone. She had never felt this abandoned in her whole life. She usually fit somewhere but now, she felt empty. She was lost in her world. She didn't have anyone she could depend on who could rescue her or save her from this darkness. <> But, the thought had already surfaced. Usagi had no one she could really rely on with her whole life. She shook the feeling off and continued to wander around the room. The room quieted down all of a sudden as if everyone fell asleep at the same time. <> Usagi continued to walk aimlessly. She found herself trying to find someone by instinct. Her legs pulled her toward a destination. It was like something was pulling at her with a string. She decided to give in to the pull and followed the unknown force in the dark. Bump. <> She looked up but couldn't see anything. She tried to whisper out a "Sorry" but she didn't want to ruin the silence all around her. She could only see the shadow of a man. <> The man put his hands on her shoulders to help her regain her balance. After she stood straight again, he lowered his head down to try and make out who she was. She stared hard into his eyes but couldn't make out the color. Her heart started pumping really hard at that moment. <> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ He tried harder to see who she was but couldn't. Because of the darkness, he got really frustrated. <> He thought about the girl who just bumped into him. She seemed familiar somehow. <> He smiled in the dark at no one as he suddenly thought about how they'd look if they were in the light, one man staring at a girl so intensely. He suddenly got a strange urge and something came over him. He kissed the girl gently on the lips just as he began to wonder. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ She opened her eyes wide open in shock. The man was actually kissing her! She found his kiss sweet and gentle. Then, she lost herself. She kissed him back without a second thought. She enjoyed it. She had never thought it would be this heavenly to kiss someone. She savored every feeling that came over her during that amazing moment. As the lights came on, Usagi parted from the man regrettably. She was staring into deep blue eyes that reminded her of the night sky. Then, shock of what had just happened crashed down on her and she took a shaky step back, stunned. She looked up at the man as she saw him look at her. Her face turned bright red. After Usagi realized that she wasn't going to die, she focused her mind on the man. He was wearing a black tuxedo. Almost every man her was wearing a black tuxedo. He looked different somehow. She felt like she had always known him, that he was very important to her. She felt like she had a deep connection to this man before. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ She looked beautiful! Her dress suited her perfectly. She was like a princess. <> He thought. <> She had a luscious white gown on. It didn't look arrogant, like many of the other girls'. It was just so amazing, with the right touches everywhere and it fit her like she had been born in it. Her long blond hair was up in two balls and one strand of hair humg from each to frame her face. She was impeccable! The connection was so overwhelming that he didn't realize he was holding his breath. He thought that he should have been able to recognize her, she was too important. He felt that she was a part of him, someone he knew very well. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ <> Usagi shook herself out of her trance and smiled at the handsome man. She marveled at how good he looked, how anyone could look that great. "Usagi-chan!" Yelled out a certain green haired woman as she came up to her. "There you are! I've been lost ever since the lights went off." Usagi forced herself to focus on her friend. "Ah, Michiru-san! I've been lost too." Michiru looked at the man Usagi was standing beside. "So, you've already found Mamoru-san, ne?" @_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@_@ That's it for now! Please e-mail me with comments or suggestions!
