A place called Home

Disclaimer: all the characters in this fanfic are derived from the anime "Sailormoon". They are not mine, however, This story is a story that came from me. So r&r please!

I never belonged to anyone. Ever since I can remember, I am always alone. With my memory gone, I'm not even sure if I am who they say I am. Because of this, I chose to be alone. Never allowing anyone to touch my heart too deeply. They say that I'm very mysterious. I have to be in order to survive. I have to hold them off. And so far, I have succeeded . Until she came into my life. Or should I say bumped into my life.

While I was walking to the arcade of my one friend, Motoki, a wad of paper suddenly hit me in the head. Surprised, I opened the paper and saw a test paper marked with 30%. Thinking aloud, I said " What a moron. Only airheads have grades like this." I was still staring at the paper when a blond girl approached me and snatched the paper from my hand. When I looked down at her, I was surprised to see that she was glaring at me. She said "Don't you know that its impolite to butt in on other people's life?" She snapped at me.

I studied this very irate girl in front of me. She has a very. unique hairstyle, sort of like she has two big meatballs atop her head. Then, the idea hit me! I don't know why but I want to tease this girl so I said "You shouldn't be displaying that kind of grade if I were you, meatball head. Its very embarrassing."

She got so mad that she shouted "Who do you think you are? You are very rude. I hate you!" With that, she stormed away from me. After she left, I found myself smiling. She looked so cute when she's angry.

I finally roused myself to continue to Motoki's arcade. I finally arrived there. At this time of the day, there are only few customers in the arcade. That is why I always come at this time. I chose to sit at my favorite spot- near the counter- and waited for Motoki to see me. When he finally noticed me, he waved at me and motioned me to wait for him.

I sat there to wait and amused myself by people-watching. After a minute, Motoki approached me.

"How's it doing?" He said, smiling.

"Fine." I replied.

"What's for today? The usual?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said.

With that he went to get my order. While I was waiting, I heard the door of the arcade opened and, curious, I looked and I saw her. The girl with a meatball hairdo! As I watched her, she headed straight for Motoki and tapped him by the shoulder. Motoki, upon recognizing her, hugged her. They stood for a moment talking and then they were approaching me.

I instantly saw the flash of startled recognition in her eyes turn to one of dislike. Motoki, unaware of the undercurrents in the air, introduced me to her.

"Usagi, I would like you to meet my best friend, Mamoru Chiba. Mamoru, this is Usagi, the best friend of my girlfriend, Minako." Motoki said.

"So we meet again, meatball-head." I said.

She bristled like a cat "Would you please stop calling me that!" She snapped.

Motoki looked at me and Usagi, all the while scratching his head.

"So, I take it that you two have met?" He asked confusedly.

"Yeah and believe me, it's a meeting that I would have done without!" Usagi said. "I'm going now. Just tell Minako that I'll call her later tonight." She said.

With that she stomped off. I suddenly found myself chuckling at her behavior. Motoki looked at me in disbelief.

"She called you rude and you're laughing?" he said.

"She's- I don't know. She's cute." I said.

But I was by then asking myself why I find her so adorable and I think the answer is something that I 'm not yet ready to face.
