Sailor Moon Mamories - Meet Kousagi

Chapter 8

Kousagi hopped like a rabbit through the corridor and was experiencing pure happyness.

'What a funny coincidence! I can see my own parents handling a baby, I wonder if Mum is going to stay with us tonight?'

She instantly blushed on this thought.

'Wait a sec, they aren't yet a couple are they? Oh no! What if I interfere anything between them because I currently live with Mamoru?!' "Uhhhh holy crap!"

She put her hands onto her cheeks, making a dumb face.

The door of the room her parents got out before opened once again and the blue haired senshi stepped out. When she recognized Kousagi she greeted her kindly.

"I'd like to say thank you for being at the kindergarden so fast. I think your quick appearance had shorten up her stay in hospital so she can be discharged within the next couple of days."

"Uhh ahem you know it's nothing, this is my duty I guess" Kousagi shyly answered and added quickly "I hope that the other both will treat Manami good."

Amy showed her an honest smile and responded firmly convinced "Don't worry about them. I couldn't think of anyone better than Mamoru to protect him, even his name insists that he can take care of people very well in general. Usagi will support him with everything she can. Moreover, she is the person with the biggest heart of all and definitely will give the baby a wonderful time."

"Awwww, you said that great and I fully agree. They do look like a dream couple escaped from a fairy tale." Kousagi raved and almost drifted to her reverie when she realized that Amy was still standing there, eyeing her shrewdly.

„It's weird but somehow I have a feeling that I've met you somewhere before." Amy started thinking out loud.

„You met me before? Can't be but you know what? It was an utmost pleasure meeting you and I really do hope that we see each other again. Maybe not in this lifetime but in a different one definitely. You will be a great doctor and I really do envy you, because you have the possibility to make your dreams come true. Take care, lots of love and oh, before I forget it, you can do way more than just sit and learn. Ever thought about swimming as an appropriate hobby? Uh ahh and please don't think of studying abroad such as in Germany, it would be the wrong decision, believe me. Actually what happened to Ryo? Well you see I'm talking to much, ahhh I have to go now. Byeeeee!"

After she finally made it and finished her monologue, she waved good bye to a stunned Amy and sprinted out of the hospital.

'Where is Mamoru when I need him to stop me from waffling? I just can hope that I did not screw it up by influencing Amy with any of my gushed out thoughts.' She clapped herself mentally.

Kousagi reached the apartment complex and witnessed a fuming Usagi storming out of the building, highly annoyed and talking to herself.

,Well, I suppose I am not going to interfere here anything with my presence, at least not tonight.'

Kousagi sighed deeply and stepped into the entrance hall.

When she opened the door of the apartment slightly, she heard Mamoru's dark and warm voice talking gently to someone.

„The evil queen was banished from the land forever and the prince and Snow White lived happily ever after."

‚If you'd gain your lost memory back, this fairy tale could become true with the living happily...oh and with a blonde pigtailed one instead of a dark haired princess.'

Kousagi grimly thought and opened the door properly.

Mamoru sat on his couch and looked up from a cradle placed in front of him. He had a big green leader cover book opened in his hands and thoughtfully watched her while she was standing in his genkan.

„Did Usagi leave already?" Kousagi asked innocently.

He sighed and stood up from his couch.

„Yes, it's late and she had to go back home. Manami is asleep anyway. She'll accompany me for grocery shopping tomorrow, though."

Deep in his heart he looked forward to it which he would never confess, particularly not to the dark pink haired bun head.

„Ahhh that's great! You guys are going to have so much fun! I heard from Amy that she is very confident that you both are the best baby sitters she could think of."

Mamoru laughed slyly. "See, I told you that I am perfect in this. To be honest, as I am a medicine student I help out in this hospital every now and then. So I do know what's to do in an emergency...unlike a certain pink pigtailed paramedic with a funny white cat face ambulance!" He gave her an amused glimpse.

„I was rewarded by Amy to be this fast! She said that down to my incredible speed, Manami's Mum can be discharged sooner." Koussgi pouted.

„Yes, it will be the best for him when his mother is back and can take care of. Soooo, since it is time for Bedfordshire" He grinned and pointed at the fairy tale book on the coffee table "which one is your favorite?"

"Ha ha, very funny! I am nearly fifteen!" Kousagi huffed back but also felt a little homesickness coming up inside her.

"I remember" she continued with a small voice while she seated herself at the couch "that my sister and me had different tastes when we were young girls. She always loved to hear „Sleeping Beauty" whereas „Snow White" was my favorite." Suddenly an idea hit her mind.

„Actually, we both enjoyed the most to listen to the stories our father used to narrate about a certain super hero, dressed in a beautiful sailor suit and with long blonde pigtails. You'd probably call them Odangos!"

‚Can you hear the penny drop, Mamoru?'

„Blonde Odangos? Ha! I guess where you come from there are a lot of girls wearing such a funny hairstyle, even in fairy tales." He laughed lightly.

,Okay definitely no reaction, not even if I'd give him a broad hint! I wonder to know why he is so unaware of his real identity. Is there anything blocked or is there even something missing in his mind?!'

Before Kousagi could continue with her thoughts, she got interrupted by a loud noise coming from the cradle. Mamoru hurried over and pulled out the screaming little Manami who took his honor to start a shrill cry concert right after he was lying in Mamoru's arms.

"O dear, what's the matter? You can't be hungry, you drunk three bottles of milk. I also made your diaper twice before you went to sleep."

Mamoru was complete clueless why he was shrieking so much. Desperately he took him over his shoulder and lulled him gently. Without a glimpse of success. He was nearly going insane when the silent, familiar melody started to surround Manami and him tenderly.

From one second to another, the toddler stopped his deafening crying and paid his full attention to the sweet sound of the opened star locket, settled safely in Kousagis hand.

"You can also use it as a music box for little babies." She spoke with a light smile on her lips. „See, I am equal to you when it comes to baby sitting capabilities."

A few moments later Manami was asleep and snorted contentedly. Mamoru still felt the warmth of this enchanting melody and wished more than ever to unveil its secret message.

„It is certainly not a lullaby" he spoke out his thought.

Kousagi watched him seriously and returned by throwing in all of her certainty

"It is so much more, this weapon of love."
