Sunday afternoon......

"So what do want to do today?" Haruka asks reading the sports section of the Sunday newspaper sitting on the sofa. Usagi sitting beside her, just sighs and un-wraps another candy bar and bites it. She then picks up the television remote and changes the channel for the 50th time. Haruka just stares at her friend and shakes her head.

Haruka puts down the newspaper and reaches out to Usagi's hand and removes the candy bar from her before she can bite it.

"Hey!" Usagi announces.

"This is your second candy bar, in which you don't need." Haruka tosses the candy bar on the table in front of her then says "Look kitten you are depressing me and I am already depressed enough. We have to get our minds off our ex-lovers. Sulking and stuffing our face isn't going to make you feel any better."

Usagi turns off the television and turn to look at her best friend. "You are right Haruka. I am sorry."

Haruka starts grinning suddenly then states, "I have an idea. Why don't we go over to 'old' place and get the rest of your clothes?" Usagi jumps off the sofa and holds up her hands in disapproval.

"No way Ruka-chan I really don't feel like seeing Mamoru right now." Haruka said nothing. She removes her body from the sofa and walks toward an end table in a corner of the living room. She picks up the cordless phone and starts dialing a number. Usagi just looks at her dumbfounded.

"No answer," Haruka replies coolly and puts down the telephone. "Who did you call?" Usagi asks curiously.

Haruka places her hands in her jean pockets and walks calmly to the coat hanger. She grabs her jacket and tosses Usagi hers. "Let's go," Haruka states as she grabs her car keys off the coffee table and watches her princess put on her coat and frowns.

"Ruka! Where are we going?" Usagi voiced with aggravation. Haruka laughs then said, "To your place of course to get your belongings. Mamoru isn't there so it's the perfect time for you get your stuff with no confrontation." Usagi just nods and follows the taller woman out the apartment.

***********

2 Hours later

Haruka puts the last suitcase filled with Usagi's clothing into the trunk of her Ferrari. She closes the trunk and walks back to the driver's side of the car and gets in. She turns and smiles at the younger woman.

"Now aren't you glad we came and got your things?" Haruka asks putting the key into the ignition. "Yes thanks for helping me pack my belongings." Usagi smiles then giggles. "I didn't realize I had so many clothing."

"Isn't that true, you are just as bad as Mich...." Haruka smirks and bites her tongue. Usagi notices Haruka's reaction to a certain someone, so she puts a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder. Haruka smiles at Usagi and then changes the subject.

"You know what kitten let's take your clothes back to my place and then go to that 24 hour diner you like so much for dinner. Hmm what do you say?" Haruka said giving Usagi her most irresistible smile that she couldn't say no to.

"Like I am going turn down food." Haruka laughs and puts the stick into first gear. "Yeah what was I thinking?" She said driving off.

Usagi and Haruka walk into Koji's 24 Hour Diner at 6: 15 approximately. Usagi keeps looking at Haruka change of outfit. The wind senshi is wearing a black mini skirt and tan haler top. Usagi is a bit surprise. She has only seen her best friend in a skirt one other time and that was nearly 4 year ago. Not that she mind Haruka change all of a sudden, but she is actually cute wearing girly clothing.

They both take a seat at a table by a window. The waiter approaches there table and hands them a menu. Every few seconds Usagi would glance up and look at Haruka and then back down at her menu. Haruka notices and sighs. She leans back in her chair and crosses her legs.

"What's on your mind kitten?" Haruka smiles charmingly at her friend.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Usagi counters. Haruka grins and tosses back a few strands of hair from her face. "You've been 'checking me out' every since we left the apartment."

"Oh yeah I just admiring your choice of attire," Usagi said with a shy smile. Haruka looks down at herself and blushes. "Oh right, yeah well I usually don't wear girly clothes, well not like I dislike them or anything. I mean.....," Haruka sighs and runs her fingers through her hair.

"Why not? Was it some kind of role thing?" Usagi asks curiously.

"Well yes and no......and partially the relationship I was in, I don't know," Haruka shrugs. "But I do know I want to forget about that and just be myself and start off anew," Haruka smiles.

"If I must say you look very pretty wearing that outfit," Usagi said closing the menu. "Thanks kitten. You know I wore this for you because I knew you would like it," Haruka teases and smiles wickedly. Usagi blushes and raises her eyebrows. Haruka laughs softly. She really enjoyed teasing her friend like that. The reactions she would get intrigued her immensely.

"So are you two ready to order?" The waiter asks.

"Yes I will have your American meal with the Club sandwich, fries and strawberry milkshake," Usagi says and hands over the menu.

"And you?" the waiter asks Haruka. "I guess I have the teriyaki chicken meal with rice and warm sake to drink," Haruka hands the waiter her menu. The waiter bows and walks off.

"So anything you want to do after we eat dinner?" Haruka asks twirling her chopsticks through her long fingers. "Not really. I guess we can just go back to your place and relax." Usagi adds.

"Our place," Haruka corrects and smiles into those baby eyes of Usagi's. "I mean you are going to be living there too." "Okay our place," Usagi starts blushing again.

The waiter appears with there order and places the plates on the table. They both eat and share some small talk in between bites.

***********

They arrive home and Usagi throws her coat on the hanger and then soon after crashes on the couch. Haruka walks toward the kitchen.

"Would you like something to drink Usako?" She asks opening the fridge. "Yeah I will have whatever you are drinking Ruka-chan." Usagi answers back. "Okay kitten."

Haruka approaches the couch and hands Usagi a glass of cold liquid and then sits beside the younger girl. Usagi frowns a bit and then turns and looks at her best friend.

"Haruka, can I ask you something?" Usagi said then sips her beverage. "Of course you can ask me anything."

Usagi made a face at the slightly bitter taste of her drink. "You put rum in this Coke didn't you?" Usagi shakes her head. Haruka laughs then says, "You said you wanted the same thing I was having."

"Ahh, well I have to make a mental note not to say that again." She sips more of her drink.

"Well anyway, I want to know why you kiss me a couple of nights ago Haruka?"

Haruka takes a deep breath and gulps down all her drink. "Usagi....," her voice sounding a bit annoyed, "why are you asking me this now?"

"Because Ruka-chan I want to know," Usagi finishes off her rum and Coke then places the glass on the coffee table.

"Okay, sigh, I kissed you because-because I love you Usako," Haruka faces her best friend and looks her in the eye.

"Oh I see. But–but......," Usagi starts looking at her hands nervously.

"But what? Look Usagi," Haruka tilts her chin upwards so she can look at her. "I have always loved you for a long time now, since the first time we met."

Usagi tilts her head back down in embarrassment. "I know you might only just view me as a friend and I am content with that. At least you know how I truly feel. What's in my heart," Haruka states.

Usagi fiddles with the hem of her button down blouse as she soaks in Haruka's confession. She couldn't bear to look into those serious turquoise eyes.

"How do you know?" Usagi mumbles out of the blue with a soft tone. "Know what?" Haruka replies. Usagi gather all her strength and looks up at her friend. "How I truly feel about you."

"Well, when I kissed you the other day, you seem upset afterwards. So I concluded that you didn't like it or me in that sort of affectionate way," the wind senshi leans her head back against the couch.

"Sigh, I wasn't angry about the kiss, more so surprised and a little confused, but never upset," Usagi said.

"I- I had the biggest crush on you Haruka when I was a teenager and I still do. I never thought anything would happen between us because of our destiny and the fact you were with Michiru and I with Mamoru."

Haruka lifts her head up and turns to face the moon princess. Haruka licks her lips and reaches out and softly turns Usagi's head toward her own. Haruka smiles and moves closer to Usagi.

"Now there is only you and I," the dusty blonde whispers before diving in to press her lips against Usagi's glossy rose-colored lips.

This time Usagi didn't move away or get upset. She went along with the kiss; savoring the feel of Haruka soft lips caressing her lips. Usagi feels hot and strangely aroused. 'Maybe it's the alcohol,' Usagi thought to herself.

Haruka breaks the kiss first then whispers, "How was that?" Usagi blushes deeply then says, "It was very good. I have never kissed another woman before."

Haruka laughs softly then replies, "Yes I know you haven't." Haruka places her arm around Usagi neck and pulls her closer, their bodies touching one another. They kiss again yet, more passionately. Haruka takes it upon herself to intrude into the moon princess's month with her tongue. Usagi didn't mind as her tongue dances with the other woman fiercely.

Haruka takes control of the situation and moves one hand under Usagi's shirt, caressing her stomach and warm soft skin beneath her finger tips. Usagi moans which urges her companion to keep stroking and gliding her hand across her belly and waist as they continue tasting each others mouth.

They parted for a few seconds and then continue to kiss; heat and arousal overtaking their bodies. Haruka slowly pushes her princess down on the couch and positions herself above the younger woman. Usagi moves her arms around Haruka's neck and runs her hand through her mane. Haruka starts moving her hands over Usagi's blouse in search of the buttons. They start to kiss deeper as they ravish each other lips.

Haruka fingers fumble across the buttons on Usagi's blouse and she starts to unbutton them; caressing the contour of the moon princess's body as she loosens each button. Usagi's mind begins to drift into oblivion at the feel of Haruka's experienced touch.

Their kiss intensifies even more, both wanting more as they burn with hot uncontrollable desire. Haruka finally gets the blouse open; which exposes soft ivory skin. Haruka caresses every inch of the other woman's skin, gliding her fingers and palm all over her midsection searching for something. Usagi's gasps and moan as she hasn't felt this desired and roused in a very long time. Haruka breaks the kiss and looks into her princess's eyes. She smiles as her hands ghosts up toward Usagi's pert breast. Usagi closes her eyes and relish at the touch of her new lover. Haruka unsnaps the front clasp of Usagi's white lace bra and embraces each breast with her hand. Usagi arches her back which only encourages Haruka on. The wind senshi begins to kiss Usagi's neck softly as her hands continue their ministrations.

Usagi begin feeling as though she is going to explode from Haruka's teasing. Even though this is a first for her, Usagi's hands subconsciously slips under Haruka's haler top and starts caressing her back. Delving her nails into the sandy blonde's skin. Usagi moans Haruka's name, which causes the wind senshi to discontinue her foreplay.

Haruka's removes herself from the sofa and Usagi's looks up at her puzzling. "Ruka, what's wrong?" Haruka places her index finger against the moon princess's wet lips.

"Come with me," Haruka said grabbing Usagi's hand and pulling up from the sofa. Haruka leads them into the bedroom.

They entered the bedroom and slowly undress each other. They lie on the bed and par take in a hot night of newly discovered desires and want for one another as they made love for the first time.

********

Morning after...

Usagi wakes up with a smile. She couldn't believe what took place last night or better how to react to the erotic event. Usagi slowly hops out of bed and stretches her stiff limbs and let her eyes roam the room. She walks toward the bedroom closet and opens it in search of a robe. She could easily rummage through her luggage for hers but she didn't feel up to the challenge.

The moon princess had no luck in locating a robe so she grabs one of Haruka's oversized sweat shirts and walks out into the hallway toward the bathroom. She definitely needed a shower. Just as Usagi steps out of the bedroom a pleasing smell tickles her nostrils. "Pancakes," Usagi said with a smiles and walks toward the kitchen.

"Oh good morning kitten," Haruka said as she places another pancake on the plate sitting on the dining table. Usagi smiles and sits at the table. "Good morning Haruka."

"The bacon is just about done," Haruka said standing in front of the stove. 'Wow she is in a great mood,' Usagi thought as she begins pouring milk into her cup. Haruka tosses a few strips of bacon into two separate plates and walks toward the table. "I hope you like my cooking. I don't usually cook," Haruka said placing the plates on the table.

"I am sure your food taste great. It certainly looks good." Usagi begins pouring syrup over her pancakes.

They both ate in silence for a few minutes. Smiling at each other every few seconds; the moment is a bit awkward to them.

"Haruka," Usagi replies placing her folk on the plate softly. "Yes Usako."

Usagi takes a deep breath. "Last night was........" she begins to blush. "It was everything I've wanted from you," Haruka said placing her folk down and moving to grab Usagi's hand in hers.

Haruka looks deep into baby blue eyes and says, "Usagi I want to be with you as more then a friend but as a lover."

Haruka looks down at the table. "I know this is sudden but....." Just at that instant Usagi springs a kiss upon the racer's pert lips, and then breaks away with a bright smile. "Yes."

"Yes?" Haruka asks back.

"Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend." Haruka takes a deep breath and pulls Usagi in to a tight embrace.

"I don't how it will pan out, but-but......" Usagi kiss her again and finishes by saying, "But there is a first time for everything and I know we can make this work."

No more words were said as they skip the rest of their breakfast and tumbles back into the bedroom sharing fiery kisses. It is Monday morning and they are skipping their college classes today.

The End....... O_o

********** AN: Well that's that. I know the story ends abruptly, but this story is originally NC-17 and I edited out all the graphic sex scenes so I could post it on FF.NET. Also this story is a challenge and gift to one of my friends who like Usagi/Haruka pairings (as do I) and wanted them in a hot lemon scene. So if any of you readers want to read this with its original unedited content, I posted it on Mediaminer.org in its entire raw form. Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. Thanks for R&R. Laters.
