Chapter 6

"Tsukino-san?"

The sound of her name being called interrupted the bunny from her unconscious doodling on her math notebook. The blonde girl looked up sheepishly, but it wasn't her fault that the teacher was so boring, and plus she could always ask Miki for help later.

Even thought she just transferred, she heard rumours of the genius boy, and about all the other student council members too. What Usagi didn't know was that she was causing as much gossip as the elite members of Ohtori Academy.

"Tsukino-san! The student council needs to see you right now," the teacher announced, annoyed that her class was disturbed, but no one could go against the student council.

Usagi grinned, silently thanking the student council for saving her from the boredom. All the other students glared at the blonde girl as Touga waved through the door, waiting for Usagi to come out. The bunny blushed, as she realized that she was the centre of everyone's attention. She quickly gathered her stuff, and escaped before anything else could happen.

"You need to talk to me?" Usagi asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. The way that Touga was watching her, as if she was the most interesting person, was making her nervous. Not that she minded to have the handsome red haired president staring at her so amorously, but she heard about his playboy reputation, and she didn't want to be just another one of his little conquests.

"No, I just have a sudden urge to see you princess," Touga smiled, and picked a rose blossom, lifting the fragile petals to his lips.

"So you dragged me out of class on a whim?!" the petite blonde cried out. "If you don't have anything to say to me, then I'm going back."

"Tell me princess, why do you want to go back, when it's obvious that you don't like it there?"

"What do you mean? Of course I like trig! I was listening perfectly when you interrupted my learning so rudely!" Usagi said, temper running short after so many nights of training in the fighting arena.

"Is that so? Care to explain to me the drawing then?" the student council president whispered against usage's ear as an arm wrapped around the blonde, and pulled out her notebook.

Usagi gasped in surprise as she looked down at her doodling. It was a pencil sketch of a male face. She hadn't even noticed what, or rather who she was drawing. She was so bored, and her fingers had a will of their own when they created this image of Dios. Snatching her notebook away from Touga, Usagi ripped herself from his arms.

"I don't have to explain anything to you!" the bunny said with a blush, but it wasn't clear if it was from embarrassment or anger.

"My, my darling Princess. Is this the way that you thank the Prince who saved you from being cooped up on such a beautiful day?" the red head asked softly, lips gently gliding over the rose petals. "Why did you draw him princess?"

"Are you jealous Touga-kun? Is that why you pulled me out of class?" Usagi's mood took a full turn, as she lightly flirted back with the student council president, hiding the portrait of Dios.

"That sounds like a very good idea Princess. But I'm afraid that we have to save it for another day, when we are alone," a small regretful look appeared on Touga's face. "The reason that I called you out, is because you have some visitors."

"Visitors?" the blonde girl asked in confusion. But no one knew of her being here except for her family and Luna. Did Luna let her secret out, and the inners were here to force her back?"

"They are waiting for you at your dorm," Touga replied slightly surprised at the frown that marred the blonde beauty's face.

Still thinking deeply, Usagi nodded and walked towards the dorm that she shared with Miki. Touga followed behind amused, since it was the first time any female could forget about his presence so easily. He was usually the one who was being chased after, but it was a refreshing experience to be taken so light by a girl. After all, it was boring when there were no complications, and with this princess, he could tell that things would never be boring again.

~*~*~*~

A squeal of happiness shook the whole academy as a bouncing bunny literary threw herself into the arms of her three visitors.

"Hota-chan! Haruka-chan, Michiru-chan!" Usagi cried out, giving each a kiss on the cheek, but still not letting them escape from her hug. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Good to see you too koneko-chan," the sandy haired tomboy teased, noticing from the corner of her eye, the frown that formed on the red head man who brought them here. "You can't really blame us, since all you said in your letter was that you are transferring to a new school. It was just a coincidence that we ended up at the same school."

"Stop joking around Haruka-chan!" the blonde girl smiled, even though it didn't quite reach her sapphire eyes. In a quieter tone, she added, "There is no coincidence when Setsuna is involved. You know that. Why are you guys really here?"

"Usa-chan. One would think tat you don't really want us here!" Hotaru teased, before the senshi of sky could reveal anything while Touga was here.

"Of course not! How can you say that Hota-chan? Especially since I haven't seen you for so long!"

"Well, you'll get to see us more often from now on Usagi-chan," Hotaru replied. "We've also enrolled into Ohtori."

From the side, the student council president looked up in dismay. Why didn't the End of the World warn him of these new people? It was obvious that they were close friends with Usagi, but would their presence here change their original plans of revolutionizing the world? Or were they going to be new duellists competing for the Rose Bride and the Sword of Dios?

"Touga-kun?" the bunny broke through his worries.

"Yes Princess?" he flashed his charming smile, noticing the sandy haired man glaring at his direction.

"Is it okay if I don't return to class? I really want to spend some time with my friends, and show them around the school," the blonde looked at the playboy pleadingly, her puppy dog eyes reflecting how much she didn't want to got back to learning trigonometry.

"I thought that you wanted to go back to class ten minutes ago?" Touga teased, and continued before Usagi spoke up. "But your wish is my command, dear princess." He smiled into the bunny's happy face, and picked up her small hand, placing a kiss on it in a gentlemanly fashion., grinning smugly at the sandy haired man's enraged expression. "Tonight is the ball princess, I will see you there, and your friends are welcome to attend too if they wish," Touga invited, before he left.

~*~*~*~

"My, my Touga, you certainly spoil her," a voice stopped the student council president as he walked through the rose garden.

"She has great power Juri. What's wrong with making her happy? She'll be a great asset to the student council," the red head replied calmly, and to me, he added silently to himself.

The fencing captain chuckled humourlessly. "I should've known that she was just a stepping stone for you Touga. And to think, I thought that she was different than the other girls who entertained you in the past."

"Ah, that's where you are wrong Juri. Didn't you notice the change after she came?"

"I don't' see what's so different. The school behaved the same when Utena transferred here too."

"I'm not surprised that you fell this way towards her. But really, Utena can not even begin to compare with this girl. You are coming ot the ball tonight right Juri?"

"I might."

"They you'll see for yourself how the princess is," Touga said over his shoulder before he left to make the preparations for the ball. She shall be the one to give me that something eternal…

~*~*~*~

"Koneko-chan, why did you decided to transfer here?" Haruka asked as the group of four returned to Usagi's dorm after the bunny gave the three newcomers a grand tour of Ohtori Academy.

"I got fed up with living under constraints," the blonde shrugged carelessly and prepared tea for her guests. "The inners and Endymion got on my nerves, ordering how my life should be. And plus it was very frustrating knowing that Luna was watching every second of my life, and was going to report to the others later of my 'behaviour'."

"They're just being protective over you Usagi-chan, Michiru reassured, gently cooling the hot tea in her hands. "And when did you learn how to make tea? If I remembered correctly, you were a walking disaster in the kitchen Usagi-chan."

"Michi-chan! You can't jump to conclusions just because of one grease fire!" the bunny whined, recalling the time at camp when she almost set the whole cabinet in fire when she tried to make toast. It wasn't her fault that the plug was wet when she plug it into wall. It was a miracle that she even survived after being electrocuted. "I'm a fairly decent cook now,… well my food is eatable. Miki-kun taught me!"

"Then I have to complement this Miki-kun. He must truly be a genius if he can prevent Koneko-chan from killing herself in the kitchen," Haruka commented grinned.

"What about me?" a new voice asked as the group of girls looked up as a blue haired young man walked into the dorm.

"Miki-kun? What are you doing back so early? Usagi asked in surprise, looking at the clock. There was still a good three hours before class should end.

"Touga-san said that you weren't coming back to math class. What happened? Did he do anything to you? Did he tried to force you to duel again?" Miki asked, quickly looking over the bunny to see if she was hurt in anyway.

"So this is the Miki-kun who taught our Koneko-chan how to make tea?" Haruka broke the silence as the blue haired young man looked at the guests for the first time.

Miki narrowed his eyes at the tomboy. Another force is coming to take away Tsukino Usagi Grabbing the blonde's hand roughly he shoved her behind him, shielding her with his own body.

"Miki-kun?" Usagi blinked in surprise. What was he doing? Beneath her hands, which were resting on Miki's shoulder's for support, she could feel how tense his muscles were.

The student council member didn't answer as he continued to glare at the three strangers sipping tea in his living room. Why were they here? Students at Ohtori were allowed no visitors, and these three didn't seem like normal people anyhow.

"My Usagi, seems like you've caught yourself a cutie," Michiru giggled in the tense atmosphere.

"Miki-kun, they are my friends, don't worry," Usagi said, putting a comforting hand on the young man's arm. "This is Michiru-chan, Haruka-chan, and Hota-chan." She introduced.

"Michiru, Haruka… you mean they…" Miki blanked in surprise. Weren't they Usagi's best friends? They were the people who taught her music. What were they doing here? The last time he checked the news on the music world, those two were still on their tour with their younger cousin Hotaru and their guardian Setsuna.

"Yeap, they're my best friends. And they just transferred to Ohtori today," Usagi beamed happily. "By the way Michiru-chan, which dorm at you guys staying?"

"We're…" Haruka began, but she was cut of by Michiru pinching her arm.

"Haruka and I are going to stay at the East dorms. Hota-chan is going to stay with you Usagi-chan." The green haired woman said, giving a meaningful glare at Haruka.

"East dorms? That's where Utena Tenjou lives with the Rose Bride," Miki murmured to himself.

"REALLY?!?!?! Hota-chan is going to stay with me?!" the bunny started to jump around the dark haired girl. "This is going to be so cool! Let's get you settled in Hota-chan. You can stay in my room. We'll get to stay up all night like when we used to at camp." Without waiting for the older girl to agree, she dragged away Hotaru into her room, carrying one of her luggage with her.

"Well, we'll be leaving now too. Have to settle in and prepare for the ball tonight," Haruka said, getting up.

"You're going to the ball too?" Miki asked in surprise. "How did you know about it?"

"The guy with the red hair invited us."

"Touga?!" Now he was confused, why would the student council president invite the three when he must know that they could be a threat to the duels?

"Yeah, that's the guy," the tomboy said as she passed Miki. "See you later then."

~*~*~*~

"I see that you've finally found her," a voice said, breaking the shadowed peace in the observatory.

"And I see that you're already here to take her away from me again," a male voice relied from telescope.

"Of course, it is my duty to protect my princess from the likes of you," red eyes glowed hatefully from the shadows.

"Even if it's Dios?"

"Stop joking around. You two are no longer one. And eve if it is Dios, I would still do the same, it was he who broke the laws of heaven in the first place."

"What a shame then…"

"What do you mean?"

"It seems to me that you are already to late to save the princess. The stars have already began to move. The play that started in the past will finally come to an conclusion now."

"It doesn't matter to me."

"Of course it doesn't, you who have control over time," the man drawled out lazily. "But it will be the princess who pays the price of your crimes…"

~*~*~*~

"Usa-chan! Stop moving around!" Hotaru mumbled with a mouthful of pins.

"I can't help it, the pins are sticking into me like a pin cushion," the squirming bunny complained, inside a white sac that was suppose to be a dress.

"Well you were the one who asked me to make a new dress for you."

"Of course, there's no way that I'm going to go to the ball wearing that hideous green thing," Usagi said glaring at the lime green dress that Nanami sent her. "Who in their right mind would create such a thing in the first place?"

"Don't know. I wish that Setsuna was here right now," the dark haired girl said, who knew that making a dress was so hard. When the time guardian was designing and sewing, she made it look so easy and fun. But no matter how hard she tried it now, the white silk only looked like an over sized pillow case. She herself was already dressed in a pile violet gown that she wore when she went to Haruka and Michiru's concerts. It was a strapless dress, that was form hugging at the top, but spilled out in the bottom into several layers dark purple silk.

Usagi was about to open her mouth to whine again when the door bell rang. Through her bedroom door, she was only able to hear Miki open the door before it was closed again.

"Usagi-chan, can I come in?" a knock sounded at her bedroom door a minute later.

"NO!" the bunny screamed frantically. There was no way in hell that she'll let other people see her like this. "Is there something wrong Miki-kun?"

"There's a delivery for you," the young man said through the door.

"Another one?!" At this rate, she won't have to go shopping again. "Can you leave it at the door Miki-kun?"

"Sure, but we don't have that much time left, so hurry up," Miki replied, putting the wrapped box outside the door. He quickly moved away as it opened a small crack and Hotaru picked up the box. The blue haired young man looked over himself nervously in the mirror. Everything appeared to be alright. His tie was straight, his tuxedo was perfectly tailored. So why was he so anxious?

A silence fell on the dorm. Funny ever since Usagi locked herself up with Hotaru, there has been loud noises. But now, everything was totally quiet.

"Usagi-chan, is everything okay in there?"

The two girls didn't answer as they both stared in awe at the contents of the box. There was no card, so they had no idea who sent them this gift. But whoever it was, the person was able to create the perfect copy of Princess Serenity's dress from the Silver Millennium.

With trembling hands, the blonde girl carefully lifted out her dress from the box filled with red rose petals. A small object fell down onto the bed. It was a smaller box. Upon opening it, she found a diamond necklace with matching earrings.

"Go try it on Usagi-chan," Hotaru prompted her best friend, who stood numbly staring at the dress.

Giving a small nod, the bunny slowly walked to the bathroom, taking out the pins that was hold together her pillow dress on the way.

~*~*~*~

Maybe she decided not to go to the ball? Miki thought nervously as he paced around in the living room. But why would it bother him if she went or not? Because you want to dance with her, a smug voice supplied in his head.

"Miki-kun! Are you ready?" Hotaru's voice asked from Usagi's bedroom.

"Yes."

"Then be ready to be amazed." Hotaru said excitedly, as she opened the door wide in a grand fashion.

Ever so slowly, taking small steps in her high heeled shoes, Usagi made her way out of her bedroom, looking down at the floor with a blush on her cheeks. Why did Hota-chan have to make it sound so important?

"Miki-kun? Are you okay? You look pretty red," the dark haired girl observed smugly. Usagi looked up in surprise to see Miki's blue eyes on her. And like Hotaru said, he was sporting a blush that matched her own.

"I…"

"I…"

They both opened their mouth at the same time and closed it as they realized that the other was about to say something at the same time. At the side, Hotaru giggled to herself. Just then, the doorbell rang again, and the senshi excused herself to open the door as the two still continued to stare at each other.

"Ready to go Koneko-chan?" Haruka called out from the doorway, where she was waiting with Michiru, Utena and Anthy.

"I'll be right there," Usagi finally found her voice. "Ready Miki-kun?"

Finally forcing his blush under control, the young man offered his arm, which the blonde took happily and they went together to the waiting group at the door.

AN: I know that nothing really happened in this chapter, I'm just beginning to get some ideas with this story, so it might go a little slow.
