Wait, before I forget..., This fic is dedicated to a wonderful friend of mine, Little Tuxedo Kamen (You may not know who you are, but if you ever figure it out, I would just like to say... Thank you for your friendship! I truly love it!). Without him, I won't have this idea of starting anything at all. DOMO ARIGATO! ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ Usagi's head was almost glue to the book when it came to the part she like best. Anyone who was taking a walk in the park, could see that she was blushing, smiling and drooling at the same time. She looks at the picture on the page with dreamy eyes. She doesn't even realised her mouth was opened nor does she care. The picture had captivated all of her attention. Suddenly she closes the book. It shut with a soft 'thud', just enough to break the silence. Then she sigh softly, "Hmmm, it is so sweet..." She smiled dreamily. After a few seconds later, she opened the book again and turn back to the page to look at the picture one more time. It is a very beautiful picture, with Romeo and Juliet kissing in it. Surrounding it are painted with soft colours to create an image of peace and tranquillity. Both of Romeo and Juliet's hands were interlock together in the warm embrace. Romeo's free hand was on Juliet's waist protectively, while Juliet's other hand was resting on Romeo broad shoulder. They were kissing tenderly as if there's nothing in the world mattered to them anymore with the exception of each other. Usagi gave it a small smile while her delicate fingers ran over the picture softly, treating it as the most important treasure in the universe. Deep down her heart she was a little jealous of them. They are so happy together just with each other's company. So, so happy that all their worries faded into happiness just by the sight of each other. They are in love. What a beautiful word! In love! She felt happy for them too, though mixed with jealousy. She felt happy for them it's because they are both in love and are very happy. Meanwhile, she's jealous of them it's because she had never felt love, not the love from her family and friends. This love she yearns for is different... it is a kind of feeling which is only shared by two different people who are very much in love. They love each other, they care for each other, even if they die, they are willing to sacrifice their life for each other. This is the special feeling she craves for. But she never did get it... yet. She looked at the picture again. She'd been repeating this process over the past 20 minutes. She just couldn't get her eyes off it, it's just so wonderful indeed... At the end of her head, she could actually feels a figure coming near her. But she quickly dismissed that thought because she is too mesmerise with the picture and furthermore, who could be looking for her? Her closest friends are Minako, Rei, Makoto, Ami and Naru. But, as always, her prediction is wrong. "Yuck, I didn't know that teenagers girls these days had a dirty mind!" Usagi quickly sprung around and saw...saw... . She observed him for some time, while he had a stupid grin on his face all the time. He had dark hair and long bangs which fell down his face and covered part of his eyes, wonderful sapphire eyes , well-built body, very tall and lean, Well, he can be said as quite handsome. Silence. She looked at him carefully again. He grins a wider grin, which make him look very cute. He thought that it was very funny of her to looked at him that way. Usagi glared angrily at him when she finally gave up the effort on playing the Who-Am-I game. He grins even wider than he had ever before. He seems to look so happy seeing her eyes flashing angrily at him and her teeth gritting. Suddenly, as sudden as he came, he turned around and walk away from her. Still, she could still hear his rich laughter after he walks a few blocks away. She started fuming and pouting, but still, deep down inside her... she just wish he could turn around and face her again to give her another teasing remark or another silly-but-cute grin of his. Usagi sighed again, this time not at the picture but at her own life. She giggles a little at that thought. She didn't give it that much thought as she went back to her book. The black words were neatly type with Italic bold font, while the background is yellowish in colour since the book is published long ago and it is only the second version of Romeo and Juliet. She notice a small, a very small hole on the page she was reading or better to be said as observing. Weird, now she's commanding herself! Stop it! Read, Usagi, READ! She tried to concentrate on the words she is reading, but that prove out to be no good. She just couldn't concentrate! It is almost killing her! Finally, she gave up. So, now with new determination and enthusiasm, she clung her friend's book in her arm then rushed at full speed to the arcade as if there's no tomorrow. Well..., actually there WILL be no tomorrow if she didn't get to just take a small peak at Motoki everyday........ That's exactly who, she wanted to looked at right now..., but in the future..., Hmmm, let's just say things might be different. ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` So there guys, I hope you like this chapter! :) At least 'like' it enough not to flame me.
