The Senshi Wars Series 1:

MAKE IT SNAPPY!

By Princess Destiny

Chapter Two

Mamoru followed the blonde, slipping down the other side of her isle, so that they had a barrier between them. Damn, this was a tall isle again! He couldn't see her! He frowned upwards, trying to pinpoint exactly where she was. "Odango?"

"Present!" Usagi yelled, grinning gleefully as she pin-pointed his position on the other-side of the isle. She grabbed 'Hell Raiser' and tossed it negligently over the isle and waited. A flurry of swearing greeted her and she grinned. Yes-score!

"Damn it, Odango! That's cheating. You're supposed to wait-" he broke off as he realised what he was saying. Oh good lord!

"Cheating?" Usagi yelled, outraged. "You started this!"

"You did." he yelled back, glaring at the shelf.

"No you did"

"No you did!"

"No...he who throws 'Bambi' video's should not shop in video stores!" Mamoru shouted back, incensed.

"Eh?" The clueless blonde said, baffled. Oh. Her glare resumed. "Oh yeah? Well, get bent!" she ran off again, spotting another set of small isles. Okay, so he could see her and she could see him, but at least she'd gotten a shot off before he could duck!

The handsome upperclassman heard Usagi leave and stalked down the isle until he spotted her a few over. He pinned her to the spot with his gaze while he made his way down the isles to her.

Oh dear. He was really, really steamed! Usagi bit her lip, not sure whether to fight or run for it.

Mamoru walked calmly over to the isle separating him and the annoying blonde and he glared into her eyes. "Did you just tell me to get bent?!" his face was only a few feet from hers, the shelves down to his thighs.

"Yeah!" The blonde girl glared back, moving her face closer to his.

"Okay then." he purred, hand reaching for a movie on level with his thigh.

"Hey, honey," A woman called to Usagi, from the safety of the other-side of the store. "The blonde girl, I mean!"

"Yes?" Usagi hollered, keeping a careful eye on her enemy. Mamoru was getting this really evil look in his eyes...

"Hit him where it hurts!" The woman advised, grinning.

Usagi's eyes popped wide in shock. "In the balls?" she said faintly, horrified that she'd even said that word.

"Odango!" Mamoru yelped in shock, meeting the blonde's shocked eyes. Okay, so she'd felt as shocked as him from saying it, so he could forgive her. Not the suggestion, however. He turned a glare on the woman.

"No, in his ego!" The woman snickered in amusement, then went back to her browsing.

"Ego The Senshi of the Moon muttered aloud, eyeing her enemy askance. He looked back at her mockingly, waiting. Well, okaaaaaay then!

"...You have a funny haircut!" she threw at Mamoru tauntingly.

The dark-haired man stared at her, then frowned. He'd known it was coming but-his hair? Funny? Nah! It was a dashingly heroic style!

"So do you." he retorted, moving his finger back and forth over the smooth cover of the video and waiting for a chance.

"Hey!" Usagi growled out, furious. "Okay...umm...you're fat!"

Mamoru gave her a look of patient disbelief and looked down at his body. The body that was hiding all sorts of muscles that he'd acquired as Tuxedo Kamen. "Me? Fat?!" he yelled at her, dropping the Video. He reached up and swiftly tugged his black t-shirt up to his neck, baring his buff body for all to see.

The store broke out in wolf-whistles from the highly-entertained customers and staff. This was better than a movie!

"Whoa," Usagi gaped at Mamoru's muscled chest and flat stomach. Definitely not fat. He was built!

Mamoru jerked his shirt down and stared at the pole-axed blonde in triumph. "What do you have to say now?" he demanded.

"Rei is a damned lucky girl." Usagi responded before thinking, brain still in neutral.

The hero of Tokyo gaped this time. Did she just say what he thought she just said?!

Usagi flushed the colour of a ripe tomato and wished the ground would open up and swallow her! "I mean, you're gorgeous, but not my type." The small girl blurted out. She groaned and slapped a hand over her face. Open mouth, insert foot!

His mouth snapped shut and he grinned at her. "You think I'm gorgeous?" he said silkily. This conversation was getting really interesting! So-the Odango thought he was hot stuff? Well, well!

"And not my type." Usagi screeched at him, jumping from foot to foot in agitation. "Eat 'Spaceballs!'" she supplied the title helpfully, a moment before frisbeeing it at his manly chest.

"Ooof!" Mamoru caught the video just after it attacked him and he confirmed the title a moment before tossing it aside. He rested casually against the isle and gave Usagi a devilish look. "Now, what was that about my gorgeousness?" he teased.

"Arrgghh!" Usagi yelled, grabbing three video's. She tossed them all at Mamoru, one after the other as if she were throwing her tiara at a Youma.

Smack

"Ouch!"

Score in the cheek!

Crack

"Ouch! That hit my funny bone you blonde airhead!"

Oh yes, the arm!

Thud

"Fuck!" Mamoru howled as the last missile hit a delicate target.

Oops, she didn't mean to aim that low! That musta hurt. Usagi hoped he could still bear children! "Uh oh," The Senshi murmured as her enemy straightened up and gave her a death-glare meant to terminate on sight. "Sorry!"

"Sorry?!" Mamoru almost screamed at her. "Oh, you're gonna be sorry when I get my hands on you!" he bellowed at her, putting a hand on top of the isle and vaulting easily over.

Usagi gaped at the agile homicidal manic and spun about swiftly to volt over the next isle-never thinking about the fact that it was higher than her head and no normal human should have been able to do it. Her foot caught at the top and she tumbled down to her knees, getting a painful carpet burn for her trouble. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" she moaned.

"Odango!" Mamoru yelled, stunned that the blonde had jumped over that tall isle. She'd jumped over something that was to his neck! 6 feet 2 inches at least! Okay, so the smaller isles only went to his stomach and were easily vaulted, but the large one's had almost reached his head!

"How the hell did you do that?!" he leapt over the isle that she had, using his Tuxedo Kamen strength-and was faced with Usagi gracefully leaping over another tall isle backwards, eyes on his. Holy shit!

"How did you!" Usagi yelled back, equally stunned that the jerk had leapt over something almost as tall as him. How the hell had he DONE that?

"How the hell did they do that?" someone yelled in shock.

Conversation broke out all over the store, but the two superhero's ignored it.

"Practice! I did high jump in Junior High." Mamoru shouted back, lying through his teeth. He grabbed a video and tossing it over the isle negligently in her direction.

Crack

Got her!

"Owwwwwwww!" Usagi wailed, clapping her hands to her aching head and staring upwards for more falling bombs. Her eyes fell on what she'd been hit with and her face paled, eyes boggling. "You hit me with 'Debby Does Dallas?! You pervert!" she screeched at him in shock and disbelief, kicking the horrible thing away.

"What?" Mamoru yelped in horror, eyes falling on the row of video's facing him. Porno's! The whole bloody isle was porno's. He spun away, eyes boggling and looked at the horror section. Much safer. "Oh god! I threw a porno at a fourteen year old girl?" he moaned, slapping a hand to his forehead.

"Incoming!" Usagi bellowed, throwing a barrage of action video's over her shoulder one by one. She went along the isle, grabbing and tossing everything in sight. This was Fun. And hopefully they'd all hit Mamoru! That jerk.

Most of them made it over the isle-the other two fell onto her head and damaged more brain-cells. "Owwww!"

Mamoru's head jerked up as he heard Usagi's war-cry and he spun about in time to be smacked in the kisser by a video. He was about to yell at her when he realised that the enemy was still firing.

"Take coverrrrrr!" The upperclassman bellowed to the rest of the store as about fifteen video's came sailing over the isle in all directions like a cluster bomb. He hit the desk and covered his head, wondering what the hell he was doing in this bizarre battle. Battle with a blonde airhead who'd just discovered the blood-lust of overkill!

A squeak came through the store and then someone cleared their throat over a speaker-system. "Not that I'm worried dudes, 'cause your battle was way cool, but some kill-joy called the boss and he's on the way to see how much of his store you totalled." the guy at the register told them.

Usagi's eyes popped wide in horror. Oh god! She was too young and pretty to go to jail. "This is bad! Really, really bad!" she shrieked, turning and bolting towards the front of the store. "Coming through! Gang way! Blonde needs an escape route!" she yelled as people got in her way.

The boss was coming? Mamoru's head shot up and he surveyed the multitudes of video's piled about him. Usagi's missiles had hit other isles and other Video's and now he was swimming in them! Reckless endangerment, property damage, oh shit! He leapt to his feet, skidded on a video and then went hell-bent for leather towards the front of the video store.

He crashed right into Usagi and they went crashing to the floor in a tangle of limbs.

"You idiot!" she screeched into his face, having landed on top thankfully. That jerk would have crushed her! She grabbed him by the lapels and leapt up, dragging him with her. "Come on! We might be waging battle, but we're about to be ambushed by an enemy of us both!"

While Mamoru was muddling over how smart Usagi had just sounded, he was being dragged out of the video store, cheered on by various customers and the really impressed cashier.

"Narly dudes!" he called after them.

The doors slid shut and Mamoru and Usagi high-tailed it down the sidewalk, hoping they weren't heading the same way that the really pissed off Manager of 'Video Hut' was coming.

Usagi and Mamoru heard sirens at the same time and simultaneously dashed into a dark alley.

"Get back!" He hissed, shoving the blonde into the wall and pressing himself into her to make them as small a target as possible.

Usagi blinked in shock, pressed against Mamoru's length and wondering how the heck she'd gotten there. But boy it felt good. A weird feeling spiralled in her stomach and she felt as if she were standing on top of a high building with no support. She breathed in and was assaulted with the scent of aftershave, light sweat and the uniqueness of Mamoru. She may as well enjoy being crushed, right? Even if he was the enemy.

It had taken Mamoru precisely 1.3 seconds to realise that he'd just crushed himself from knee to chest to the blonde. Excitement spiralled through him as he rested intimately against her curves and waited for the sirens to stop. They'd made it about a block down, but they'd have to wait a minute before walking out of the alley casually.

Boy she smelt good!

He buried his face in her hair and breathed deeply. Mmm, rose-water, peppermint, chocolate and the unique smell of Usagi. Well, he may as well enjoy it while he had the chance! Usagi was probably waiting to pound him as soon as he moved away.

The siren faded away and they both breathed a sigh of relief. Then Mamoru leapt back from her as if scalded and she leapt to the left, as if she too had been scalded.

They stared at each other for a long moment, not sure what to say or do about the stunning feelings they'd both felt for each other. Of course, neither knew that the other had felt anything, so moments later they were glaring heatedly again.

"You almost got us caught!" she shouted at him, straightening her clothes.

"What do you mean I did? You threw that first video! You almost crippled me for life!" Mamoru shouted back, running a hand through his hair to flatten the untidy locks.

"Ha! Well you should be arrested! You not only threw a porno at me, you flashed me."

Mamoru groaned. She was right. She'd only thrown things. He'd acted like a stripper in front of the whole store! "You asked for it." he said stubbornly.

"So did you." she said just as stubbornly, lip pouting out adorably.

The dark-haired man stared for a moment, as if mesmerised by her lips, then he frowned and shook his head. "So-it's a tie then?" he said uncertainly, counting back to the hits.

"Umm-sure." Usagi said, also uncertain. What did they get up to anyhow? "How many of those last one's hit you?"

"None," he said triumphantly, grinning at her as her face fell.

"Damn! Really?" Usagi stamped a foot. "A tie then. I can't remember how many hits I got in."

"Me neither." Mamoru said, feeling unreal somehow.

The two stared at each other, wondering how the hell their usual arguments escalated into World War III. But the weird thing was-they'd both enjoyed it. A lot.

"Re-match?" Mamoru said casually.

"Sure. Not the 'Video Hut' though!" Usagi said hastily. She'd be lucky if she could ever show her face there again! Damn that jerk. She glared at him.

Oh hell! Now where could he go to get that Video? The man glared at Usagi and saw that she was already aiming a death-glare his way. "Name your time and place, weapon of choice and the battle-ground" he demanded of her.

How nice-he was letting her choose! Umm-where was a good place? She'd need lots of ammo...wait, what if she brought her own? Ha! She had it! She smiled at him sweetly, noting his nervous look as he saw it.

"Weapon of choice is 'Watergun'. Battleground is Juuban Mall. Time? How about Friday at six during peek-hour shopping?"

Waterguns? In the Mall? Oh yeah. Mamoru grinned in anticipation. The casualty rate would be lower, in any case. How hurt could someone get with water? "Deal!" he held his hand out to shake on it.

"Deal!" Usagi said giddily. This could be fun! Their hands touched and she felt a tingling running up the length of her arm. It was sort of like what'd happened to her stomach when he'd crushed her to the wall. Was she getting feelings for him? Just touching Mamoru was making her all nervous and tingly and excited.

Oh no! She was attracted to him!

She dropped his hand quickly and raced past him out of the alley as if the hounds of hell were after her. "Friday!" she called back, then vanished.

"Sure," he muttered. Mamoru stared out of the alley, blinking in a dazed way. He'd felt that jolt that had gone up his arm when their hands touched! And he was experienced enough to recognize attraction. Excitement from touching her. Unbelievable! When exactly had he started seeing Usagi as attractive? And she'd felt something too. The way she'd dropped his hand and beat a retreat was very telling. She was old enough to be attracted to a guy, but he was still her enemy and she was sure to be as confused as he was!

It looked like not only their arguments had changed...so had their feelings for each other. It wasn't only dislike any more. Oh no, it wasn't.
