SPIN THE BOTTLE By Princess Destiny [princessdestiny@hotmail.com] Chapter Six ["This feels so right..."] Usagi thought vaguely. It was the only thought that could filter through the feelings overwhelming her. And all from a kiss. Who would have thought that the kiss of her worst enemy could reduce her to this? Mamoru's thoughts were along similar lines-yet far more intense than the young girls'. And though he was overwhelmed, the realisation that she was only fourteen was like a barrier between them. He'd tried to protect her from BRAD and now was doing exactly what his 'friend' had intended! Mamoru wrenched his lips from Usagi's swiftly, groaning in disappointment. "No" He breathed harshly, moving back from her warmth. "What?" Usagi's eyes slitted open in the darkness. She was completely bewildered. One minute, she'd been in heaven and the next-Mamoru's comforting warmth was gone. That amazing feeling of melting. His hands were still about her waist, but he was no longer pressed into her. "What's wrong?" She said, dazed. "This is wrong!" He said, breathing hard. He groaned again, then let his head fall sideways until it thunked on the back of the closet. "Not only are you only fourteen! You're also my worst enemy!" "Oh...right" Usagi agreed, blinking. Suddenly though, the words really meant nothing. Not like they once had. "This is way beyond weird" She said abruptly, frowning. Usagi tried to straighten in her cramped position and Mamoru's arm fell away from her. Her skin felt cold from it's absence and her frown deepened. ["How can this be wrong? it felt so right! Even if he IS my enemy"] Usagi thought, biting her bottom lip. Inspiration hit her then and she brightened. "Well-I guess...we can just pretend that this never happened?" She suggested, tone dubious. "Tomorrow, it'll be back to 'jerk' and 'Odango Atama'. Right?" Mamoru groaned loudly, thunking his head again with deliberate harshness. "No, Usagi. It WON'T" He said strongly. "Everything has changed now!" "Well-" Usagi glared in his direction. She'd only been trying to HELP! "Then, you shouldn't have kissed me!" "Oh, so it's MT fault now?" He yelled at her, straightening. He forgot where he was and bashed his head on the top of the closet roof hard. "Ow, damn it!" He shouted. "What?" She yelled back, ignoring his obvious groan of pain. "Of course it's your fault, jerk! When WASN'T?" "Excuse me?" Mamoru said, holding a hand to his head, where there was a noticeable bump growing. It irritated him almost as much as the blonde did! "But I seem to recall you kissing me back, Odango Atama!" He shouted at her. "Oh, so we're back tot he name-calling, you creep!?" she shrieked loudly. Usagi glared the more, then clenched the first of her right hand and shot it up swiftly into the darkness. Mamoru was stunned when something connected painfully with his ribs, thrusting him backwards. He yelped with surprise and pain as he kept going-falling through the hanging clothes and finally bashing head- first into the far side of the closet. It shook threateningly as he crashed through the hanging clothes, which could not hold his weight. Mamoru tumbled the rest of the way to the floor, half-raised and bashing his head painfully on the wall. The closet wasn't THAT large, after all. "Mamoru? Ooh! I didn't mean...what happened?" Usagi called out anxiously. She tried to peer into the darkness, but could see nothing. From the crashing noises she had heard though, Mamoru had fallen through the clothes and possibly bashed his head! In fact, she was SURE of it! The whole closet had shaken like a boat after she'd punched Mamoru. ["Oh no! Is he okay?"] She wondered silently, again biting her bottom lip nervously. Mamoru stayed in his position, half against the wall and half on the floor, next and head at an oddly painful angle. "Stay away" He told her expressionlessly. He really couldn't decide what was worse about that night. Being locked in the closet with the Odango Atama? Well, he'd kissed her and liked it-so maybe that wasn't the worst. Maybe her shrieking in his ear? And now, the punch to the ribs. What next? And WHY exactly had they been in the closet for so long? What was Steve up to? ["Is he TRYING to make us murder each other?"] "Ugh! Are you hurt or not, you moron? Answer me!" Usagi yelled at him. She awkwardly crouched down, felt around until she found his ankles and then began to crawl along him. Her head bashed into something dangling from above and she winced, halting. "Ouch!" She gasped, reaching up with one hand cautiously. Usagi found that she'd hit a pair of jeans. The HARD object had been the buckle of a dangling belt. ["He hangs his belts on a hanger?"] Usagi thought, astonished. She put hers in the draw...Maybe it was a guy thing? "This is just-to much" Mamoru muttered under his breath, laying there painfully. His back was beginning to cramp, but he'd be damned if he'd move! The girl had hated-and now like, had just punched him! "I never that that she had it in her" He whispered wonderingly. All in all, he deemed it far safer to lay there until someone came and got them. They'd BELIEVE him if he said that she punched him for insulting her...and she would be at the other side for the closet and away from his kisses. Safer for HER to. If Usagi had know just what thoughts he's had about her-she'd KILL him! Mamoru frowned as he felt Usagi crouch and touch his legs cautiously. Then he heard the hangers clink together as she moved them slightly. He waited in the silence and then Usagi's fingers touched his ankle delicately. ["What is she doing?"] He wondered, eyes going wide. Usagi felt along the jeans and then further on, to discover that there were FAR to many clothes in the way for her to even reach Mamoru. ["I'll-have to crawl low then"] She decided, reaching down for his ankle. Then, she moved further forward and then lay herself down until her chest touched Mamoru's long legs. If she staying close to his body, her head wouldn't bash anything from above. NOT that there was much room! What did Mamoru have so many blasted pairs of slacks and jeans? ["Because he's a guy, you ditz!"] She yelled silently at herself. And they WERE locked in a closet! Mamoru's eyes widened as he felt delicate fingers on his ankle, then he felt Usagi's body starting to press against his legs as she crawled up his length. ["What is she DOING?!"] Mamoru shouted mentally, thoughts going wild. Here was his worst enemy-turned greatest lust...crawling bodily up his form and pressed against him in the most enticing manner! Usagi groaned, pressing closer to Mamoru and trying to duck all the overhanging slacks and shirts above her head. The closet, to make things WORSE, was so small that she had to crawl up Mamoru's length, pressed close. She couldn't crawl on her knee's, because of the overhanging clothes and how much space the jerk was taking up. ["Well, maybe not the jerk any more"] She said mentally, smiling slightly as she reached his chest. Her fingers spread over the now-familiar material, trying to find a purchase. He was STILL dead silent and she was worried that something had happened to him. ["How did this happen in the first place? Oh WHY did he have to kiss me...and me LIKE it?"] She wailed mentally, laying over his full-length. Her fingers felt over the skin of his neck and then up to his face. Usagi pulled herself up further with her hands and Mamoru groaned. "Are you okay? I thought that you were unconscious!" She breathed, fingers trailing urgently over his lips to see if he was breathing okay. "NOT if you don't keep STILL, you blonde ditz!" He almost roared at her, body tense as a spring. She was driving him utterly NUTS! And she didn't KNOW it! "What?" Usagi gaped into the darkness, stunned. "I was only trying to see if you were okay, jerk!" "By laying on TOP of me and wiggling around?" He yelled back disbelievingly. "What did I tell you about that before?" "Well-" Usagi began defensively, blinking at him in the darkness. "With al the clothes up there, the only way I could REACH you was to crawl! Maybe if you didn't have so many clothes in here-" "It's a bloody closet, Usagi!" He yelled at her, exasperated. "Where else would you find clothes?!" "Umm-right" She giggled with embarrassment, resting her elbows on his chest and absently playing with a lock of his hair at the base of his neck. "Are you okay?" She repeated her earlier question anxiously. "I didn't mean to punch you so hard" "You did it very well" He said dryly, trying to adjust his head comfortably. It was near impossible. "Hang on a second" He muttered, shifting his form. There really wasn't enough room for her on top of him-and he at this awkward angle. Usagi shrieked as she almost tumbled off. She reached up and wrapped her hands about his broad shoulders as Mamoru shifted them both down until he was laying almost flat on the floor. He moved his legs and both of her tumbled between his, leaving her again pressed full-length into him. Usagi flushed scarlet. "Umm-" She began. Mamoru laughed, moving his legs until they were bent at the knees. The closet wasn't that big, after all and he was tall. "I really don't believe this" he gasped at her, trying to stifle his laugh. He raised his hands hesitantly, then reached out to wrap them behind Usagi's back, linking the fingers. "Can believe what? That we're trapped in a closet, on the FLOOR? That you kissed me? That we HATE each other-" Usagi said heatedly. "That would it, yeah" Mamoru rolled his eyes, shaking his head. Despite the weirdness of the situation, having the blonde laying on top of him on his closet floor-just seemed...comfortable? Natural? "So-now what?" Usagi asked him timidly. She was tense from how close she was pressed against her and the way that his fingers had once more crept under the material of her shirt and was stroking the skin of her waist. Somehow, she sensed that he didn't know he was even DOING it! And it was that reason alone that kept her from screaming bloody murder. ["Besides-I kind of like it"] She whispered mentally, blushing. Mamoru abruptly felt something hard digging into his chest, which he had felt before as he kissed her against the closet wall. He'd ignored it then, but now it was really hurting, being pressed between him and Usagi. "What IS that?" He demanded, letting go of her waist. He tried to reach in between them for the object and his fingers accidentally brushed against the side of her breast. "Oops" "Hentai!" Usagi screeched at him, jerking back. Her skin tingled strangely, making her breathing erratic. "What are you DOING?" She shrieked, flushing. "Hentai? Me?!" Mamoru yelled at her, embarrassed. "I was trying to see what the bloody hell was digging into my chest so hard!" "Me!" Usagi shouted back, then paused. "No-wait. Oh! This!" She giggled in embarrassment, face the colour of a tomato in the darkness of the closet. And she would glad that Mamoru couldn't see her! When his fingers had brushed her breast, she'd felt a zing of excitement fill her body. She'd never felt anything at all like this in her life. It had been like-when Mamoru kissed...Usagi shook her head and reached for her broach, which had been on her shirt and digging into them. Personally, she was used to it, so had thought nothing of it. But Mamoru was not. "What is 'this'?" Mamoru growled, annoyed. Really, what was he to think? She was his worst enemy, but he'd kissed her and now he was not only fiercely protective and willing to do bodily harm to any guy that touched her-other than himself-they were STILL fighting! "Unbelievable" He muttered. "My broach" Usagi said, taking it off of her shirt and reaching down for one of his hands. Her fingers touched his and another wave of excitement went though her. She groaned involuntarily, then tried to muffle it. Mamoru heard her and knew what had caused it. He two had felt stirred by the touching of their hands. ["Why did we never feel this in all the times we crashed into each other on the street?"] He wondered to himself, letting her guide his hand upwards. "Here" Usagi whispered, pushing the broach into his hand. Immediately, the closet was filled with a pulsating silver light, as the broach exploded in power...
