Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mamoru leaned against the doorway, silently watching his wonderful wife as she wandered around the apartment tidying things up. This was new to him. She didn't usually get up this early. He didn't say anything, not wanting to disturb her, because he could tell she was lost in her own thoughts. He smiled. He considered himself lucky to have such a wonderful family. They meant the world to him, and he would do anything for them. He would protect them always, no matter what. His protective instincts rose as he remembered the bad feelings he had had this morning when he woke up. Watching Usagi, he let the feelings drift to the back of his mind.

His watch beeped and he looked at it, immediately snapping back to reality. If he didn't hurry, he would be late for work. This was the third time this week he had almost been late. He sighed as he hurried to change into his work clothes. He quickly told Usagi he was leaving and was almost out the front door, when his cellphone rang. He calmly answered the phone. "Moshi moshi."

As Mamoru announced that he was leaving, Usagi stopped what she was doing to follow him to the door, hoping to steal one last goodbye kiss before he left for his long day. She had been ready to practically pounce when he stopped to answer his cell phone. She waited quietly, less than a foot behind him, as he answered it. 'Probably one of the Tennou,' she thought as she watched her husband from behind, her eyes wandering approvingly as she did so. To her, he was still every bit as handsome and mysterious as the day she had first bumped into him.

With a laugh, Makoto responded with an affirmative. "Hai! Cooking for a client, Rei. Is this something we can discuss over the phone? I can't leave in the middle of this or the entire order will be ruined." As much as she hated it some times, her friends could not come before her job. She contributed to their bills just as much as Motoki did, maybe more. She was not sure nor did she really care. She was used to being the dominant one, after all. "This one is too important to mess up," the young woman added apologetically.

Yasuo breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt anxious. "I just felt uneasy, I shouldn't have bothered you. My apologies."

The call ended and he wandered back out to where the piano stood, taking up a large portion of the room. He looked at it suspiciously before turning away from it and heading toward the door. Perhaps some time outside would help clear his head.

Cocking her head to one side, she watched Mamoru patiently while he finished his conversation. Once it was done, she could no longer contain her curiosity. "Is something wrong with Yasuo-kun?" she asked lightly, trying to hide her own worry. Not only had she felt something amiss, it seemed that Yasuo had as well. 'A visit to Rei-chan might be appropriate when Mamoru leaves,' she thought, her eyes searching his for anything that would cast doubt upon her worries.

Daitaro reached the Chiba residence, he paused outside the doorway. He felt a chill, and immediately spun around to look behind him, but there was nothing to be seen. He shook his head, trying to clear the feeling he had. Finally he raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

Daitaro blinked a couple times when Usagi opened the door. "Good morning, is something wrong?" he asked, "You look pale." Leaning around Usagi, Daitaro saw that the Master was still home. Shouldn't he be a work by now? "Master, you're still here?"
