The others were out doing their own thing that day. Michiru had decided to go to the beach, Hotaru had said something about a friends house, and Setsuna had gone back to check on the time gates. That left one sandy blond racer to sit around the house bored out of her mind. School was out for the day and she had done her homework the day before after getting home from school. She was also getting bored sitting on the couch watching old races play on the TV. Having a sigh Haruka looked at the screen once more letting out a yawn. OK so yea she was done sitting around with nothing to do it seemed like a great time to hit the arcade the racing game would be a great way to beat the boredom. She grabbed her racing jacket slipping it on and than slipped on her shoes tieing them as she walked out the front door. digging through her pocket she pulled out her keys locked the door and got into her beloved Yellow ferrari. with the top down she drove off as fast as she could without being pulled over for speeding or causing a wreck.
As soon as she parked the car outside the building she walked in. "Hey Haruka in the mood to hit the racing game today." called the blond from behind the counter. "You know it Motoki." she said with a chuckle as she sat in the game seat and starting a round of the racing game.

Just another day walking home from school. No Ami. No Makoto. Not even Minako had attended The Blonde Rabbit as she made her way to her usual safe haven.
Usagi entered through the automatic glass doors, and grinned her usual 'hello' at Motoki, who stood behind the counter in maintence and waved back in greeting. It didn't take her long to walk over to her favourite arcade machine -- the Sailor V fighting game. However, in her walk over to the game, she found herself stopping in her steps to notice a familiar sandy-haired cross-dresser sitting in Minako's usual seat of the driving game.
"Haruka-san!" She exclaimed in surprise, running over to the Sky Senshi, wonder lighting up her innocent features. "What are you doing here? Did Minako-chan challenge you to a game of racing again?" She asked curiously, her tone changing slightly in a knowing, expectant exasperation upon the inquiry of the second question. It was strange to see Haruka at the Game Crown, especially by herself. Usagi supposed that, if she hadn't come for a match with Minako, then maybe Michiru was wandering about somewhere nearby, and Haruka had decided to come here in wait for her. That was how it usually was, anyway, right?

She was into her third game since getting there and was pretty absorbed in her game. Their was no denying Haruka was the best at this game. She smirked realizing her score was still number one on the game though it looked like Minako was catching up to her pretty quickly. She chuckled looking at the other blonds score shaking her head. "sorry Minako looks like your gonna have a lot of catching up to do." she muttered entering her initials into the game. Poping another coin in she started her fourth game.
Halfway through the game she heard a voice yell out her name. Her head snapped up her eyes making contact with the blue eyes of her princess. She smiled a bit as the younger blond ran up to her. "Nope I'm here on my own this time Koneko-chan." she said. "The others were out of the house and even I can get bored watching old races all day." she said with a chuckle. When she heard the music on the game telling her the game was over and she had crashed she turned to it with a sigh. "well at least I managed to keep Minako from taking my top place on the game ranking." she joked.

"Nope I'm here on my own this time Koneko-chan."
[/u] Usagi's eyes widened in further surprise, blushing slightly at the familiar nickname. "Really?" It was hard to believe that Haruka was actually all on her own. Especially without Michiru-san. They never seemed to leave each other's side. This brought up the blonde's next question. "What about Michiru-san? Usually, she's with you, right?" Haruka-san couldn't actually be at the arcade without a reason. Usagi glanced around the room, looking for the aqua senshi. It couldn't be possible that she was on her own. It just couldn't be! But, of course, Usagi had been proven wrong before... "The others were out of the house and even I can get bored watching old races all day."[/u] The blonde found herself glancing back at the lesbian, grinning at the older senshi's response. She could imagine her getting bored easily -- afterall, Haruka-san was generally always on the go. Always doing something. "I see..." She'd probably come here, too, if her friends had left her. Actually, The Odango came here anyway, despite homework and studying and, sometimes, even friends... that was one of the many contrasts between her and Haruka. "well at least I managed to keep Minako from taking my top place on the game ranking." It was evident that the odango-haired blonde was struck with playfulness at the visualization of Minako discovering that Haruka had beat her score. Again. "Oooh!~ Wait until Minako-chan finds out!" Usagi gushed with a mischevious grin. "She won't be able to stop until she has the top score again." Then, the blonde neared the sky senshi, peering over her shoulder at the Score List, and wondering how many times she'd played and how long she'd been there. A sort of stirring began inside her, and immediately she felt the urge to ask. "Do you mind if I play?" The question was a hestitant one; open-minded, yet unsure. There was no doubt in her mind that Haruka would be beat her -- the sandy-blonde woman was the best racer she had ever seen... game or reality made no difference. Still. Usagi had come to play games, hadn't she? And, she might as well practice if she was ever going to beat Minako-chan, too. Not to mention drive one day. And, who better to play games with than Haruka Tenoh? [/center] |

Haruka smirked at the surprise she could see in the younger girls eyes. "Yes." she said when Usagi asked her next question. She chuckled at the younger girl one more time. "Usually yes but not this time." she said. "Michiru and I need to do our own things from time to time." she said with a knowing yet found smile on her face. Usagi was one of the few people that had managed to worm her way into Haruka's heart so easily. She really did care about the younger girl and knew without a doubt she would risk herself time and again for her.
She Smirked at the girl once more when she saw the grin. "After all you know me can't sit still for longer than I have to and usually can't sit still that long." she said. If her day to day scedual was anything to go by. most of the time her day started with Michiru trying to wake her up for school that usually ended up with her getting pounced by Hotaru and the two of them curling up under the blankets and sleeping a bit more. That was until Michiru decided she had enough and promptly shoved the short haired blond out of bed. Than it was school and of course Haruka drove them as usual. Than she had track practice which was usually fallowed by a few quick practice laps around the race track in her car. Yet she still managed to be home in time for dinner and for herself, Michiru, and Hotaru to sit down and work on homework which was usually a family affair half the time any more.
Haruka chuckled at the blonds comment about Minako. "something tells me I'm going to be getting a call in the next day or so from her with a challange to a game and you know me I don't back down from a challenge." She said with a wink to the younger girl. Haruka smiled enjoying just how close Usagi was to her at the moment. She leaned back against the game seat so she could whisper into the younger ear. "though just between the two of us she's going to have a long way to go before she gets that top spot back." She said pointing to just how high her score was. it was the third time she had ever gotten that high of a score and Motoki had stopped acting surprised after the first time she had gotten it. She smiled "of course Koneko I'll even play for a couple games on one condition though." she said with a smirk. she waited for a moment to so that she knew she had Usagi's attention. "as soon as you've played a few games of this and Sailor V you go straight home and get your homework done." she said. She was serious on this because she knew how often the other blond put off her home work. If Usagi didn't agree than she would still let her play but the blond was all on her own with paying for the game.

"Yes." "Usually yes but not this time.""Michiru and I need to do our own things from time to time."
[/u] "I understand," Her reply was one of knowing, one of actual empathy. It was true that she had experienced the same, however rare, seperation from her friends. Though, the rabbit couldn't help but vaguely wonder why she hadn't thought of the answer herself. "Sometimes, I need to do things on my own, too!" She gave a small grin to show her sincerity, her innocence and overall reply posing as, probably, a humourous one. Usagi laughed at Haruka-san's response to her insight, albeit a bit uneasily. The air around her, around them, was beginning to feel strange. It wasn't unfamiliar, but... it was somewhat unfamiliar here, at the game centre, where it was not to be felt in an arcade of all places. And, her heartbeat... it was acting up again... Why? "Something tells me I'm going to be getting a call in the next day or so from her with a challange to a game and you know me I don't back down from a challenge." "though just between the two of us she's going to have a long way to go before she gets that top spot back."[/u] Yeah, Haruka embraced challenges, while Usagi only did so when she absolutely had to or wanted to please her friends. And, it was obvious that Minako-chan would be knocking down Haruka-san's door in the next few days! Unfortunately, for the love senshi, however, the sky senshi always seemed to have her beat in... well... everything. A sweat-drop formulated and slid down the side of Usagi's head. She provided a nervous "Hahaha.. that's true." as the uneasiness seemed to somewhat thicken. She tried not to give in. "though just between the two of us she's going to have a long way to go before she gets that top spot back."[/u] "Y-yeah," Usagi's cheeks became even rosier upon Haruka's whisper into her ear. She's so close to me... Bbmp. Bbmp. Bbmp. Not again. "of course Koneko I'll even play for a couple games on one condition though." [/u] LE GASP. How great! She hopped back, her eyes lit up, and her grin broadened into a smile. "Oh, thank you, Haruka-san!" she exclaimed, as if a long-awaited gift had just arrived. All feelings of discomfort were forgotten. Mostly, anyway. And, then, came the disappointment. "as soon as you've played a few games of this and Sailor V you go straight home and get your homework done." [/u] Usagi's cheery face immediately drooped into a pout. "Awwuuuuuh! Wwwhhy?" She whined. "I don't want tooo!" No matter what, Usagi was Usagi. Homework would always be last on her To-Do List, if not on it at all. Why was Haruka-san being so serious about it? She knew Usagi nearly never studied or did her homework. Of course, the sky senshi cared about the moon princess, but never to the extent of her studies. Or, well, that's what Usagi assumed. Usually, it was Rei-chan's and Ami-chan's job to nag her about school... it was strange that Haruka-san was now suddenly in on it, too. This led to suspicion... hmmm... perhaps Rei-chan and Haruka-chan had come together, and was now conspiring against Usagi?! [/center] |

Haruka chuckled at the younger blonds answer. "yes having those four around all the time I'd need a bit of a break sometimes to." she said with a wink in Usagi's direction. Their was just something about the blond that had caused her princess to just worm her way into her heart. The only other person that had done it that quickly had been Michiru. "You know Koneko-chan you've managed to do something that only one other person has ever been able to do." she said looking at her from the corner of her eye.
Haruka laughed at Usagi when the girl laughed nervously. "Theirs no need to be so uneasy around me." she said with a chuckle. Well there wasn't was there. She chuckled a bit more at Usagi after she whispered into her ear. "you know princess your just to cute when you blush." she said.
She smiled at Usagi's excitement but waited to hear what she said about the homework. When Usagi spoke Haruka looked at her. "I've done a lot of things in my life I didn't want trust me Koneko home work is the better deal than going through what I have." Haruka said. "and if you want a couple free games than you'll do your home work I can even help you out as long as it'snot modern Japanese." the sandy blond said making a disgusted face at the mention of her worst subject.

"yes having those four around all the time I'd need a bit of a break sometimes to." "You know Koneko-chan you've managed to do something that only one other person has ever been able to do."
[/u] Usagi blinked somewhat obliviously, blushing slightly at Haruka's playful wink. "R-really? What... did I do?" It was the tone of her voice that had Usagi off-guard. No, rather, it was the tone of Haruka's voice, that sent her heart beating once again. That... flirty, masculine-like hum, alluring and dangerous and tart like saki. It was that tone of voice, and that promiscuous look, that made Usagi the slightest bit uncomfortable. And, yet... a secret part of her yearned for more. "There's no need to be so uneasy around me." "you know princess your just to cute when you blush."[/u] "I-I'm not uneasy around you," She defied, willing to stand her ground even in a situation such as this. Nevertheless, the blonde's blush continued to deepen. She tensed ever so slightly, her feet unable to move for unexplainable reasons. She looked down in spite of herself, unsure what to say, balling her fingers into a nervous fist and bringing it up to meet her chest. Her beating heart. Unsure what to do. When she glanced back up to answer, she found herself unable to tear her blue eyes away from Haruka's navy irises. Her gaze was locked with the sky senshi's. Why? Why did she feel this way? Haruka was just... just a friend, wasn't she? She... always flirted with Usagi. Always flirted with everyone. It was normal. And, Usagi always felt a little nervous around Haruka, and didn't mind her closeness, and.... Wait. Did she secretly like Haruka-san...? No. She couldn't. She didn't. She... She had Mamo-chan. Right?.... Right?! Then, why... "I've done a lot of things in my life I didn't want trust me Koneko home work is the better deal than going through what I have." "and if you want a couple free games than you'll do your home work I can even help you out as long as it'snot modern Japanese."[/u] Usagi's pout somewhat lightened, trying to shake her confusion. Her feelings. Her confused feelings. Trying to see it Haruka's way. She sighed. "Well... I guess I could try." She admitted, averting her eyes. The Rabbit hated homework -- work of any kind, actually -- and would rather not even look at it if she had a say in the matter. What was the deal with Luna and Rei-chan and Chibiusa and her mother and Haruka-san all wanting her to do her best in school? She was going to be a queen one day! She didn't need school for that. It was probably just as she suspected. They all probably had a secret pact, a secret club. The 'Make-Usagi-Do-Homework' Club, and met together in the mornings while she was still sleeping. Ooooh... that Rei-chan. Usagi bet everything that she was behind it all the way! [/center] |

"You've managed to worm your way into my heart. Only other person to do that was Michiru." she said with a small smile. She adored Hotaru after all the younger was her daughter and she spoiled the black haired girl every chance she got. But for some reason Michiru and Usagi were the only one's that had managed to find their way into the one thing she usually kept locked up tightly.
Haruka looked back at the blond amusement dancing in her eyes at her answer."Sure your not and you and Minako didn't think I was a guy when I first met you." she teased. that was still her favorite memory of meeting the inners. Usagi and Minako fallowing her and Michiru around town all day. She had known they were there of course she always kept her senses open even now. It was pretty difficult for anyone to sneak up on her because the wind always let her know what was coming. Hotaru seemed to always find it a bit unfair but still had fun trying to sneak up on her.
She chuckled at the blonds unwillingness to do homework. "Even as queen your still going to need a lot of what you will learn in school." she said. "and you don't get it done and I'll just have to go find someone else to take out for ice cream." she said turning so that she was sitting sideways in the seat to the racing game. "I'm sure Hotaru or even Minako would jump at the chance." she teased.

"You've managed to worm your way into my heart. Only other person to do that was Michiru."
Usagi felt a sweat-drop ease down her head. Her cheeks turned rosey, and she scratched her cheek in a nervous gesture. "Ahahah... I-I see..." Though, she really didn't. It was the only thing she could think of to say. She understood that she was somehow special to Haruka, the way Michiru was special to Haruka. But... did that mean that Haruka-san loved Usagi in the same way? In a... mature... love-like way? Something about the atsmosphere was still flirtatious and affectionate, and Usagi still wasn't sure how to respond to it. Not with Haruka-san here, anyway. It felt familiar, yet foreign... and never knew what to do in these type of situations. Her heart was always fluttery around the sky senshi, her head always somewhat light. But... she.... she... she was in love with Mamo-chan. There was... no reason to like Haruka-san... and yet, she yearned for her in a way that could be indescribable. It was different than her love for Mamo-chan, than her desire for him. Different from her love for Seiya, or even... maybe... Rei-chan. And... she found herself confused, somewhat disoriented, about this realisation.
"Sure your not and you and Minako didn't think I was a guy when I first met you."
[/u][/color] Usagi met Haruka's words with a glance to the side, still stubborn and still deeply flustered. Though, she couldn't deny the words that had been put to her. "That may be true, but..." She searched for another point, something else to prove herself. "... you didn't make it easy by dressing like that, either..." She finished, embarressed by her mumbled retort, yet unable to completely back down. "Even as queen your still going to need a lot of what you will learn in school." "and you don't get it done and I'll just have to go find someone else to take out for ice cream." "I'm sure Hotaru or even Minako would jump at the chance."[/u][/color] All blushing faded from her face -- or, at least, most of it. Her cerulean gaze was instantly back on Haruka with the utter consanances of the words, wide and excited. "Ice-cream?" she repeated, barely believing her ears. A wide grin spread over her features at the mention -- no, at the possibility -- of eating one of her favourite treats. She hopped over to Haruka-san and linked her arms around hers, staring up at her in refound commitment. "I promise I'll get it done, Haruka-san!" She chirped, intent on doing anything for the dairy delicacy. And, although she actually meant her words in this moment in time and knew she would actually try to do her homework . . . it could already be foreseen that her work probably wouldn't get done in the end.
