Chapter 2
The young woman, Usagi, awoke with a bright light shinning in her eyes, and was strapped down on a sort of gurney type bed. Disliking the whole restraint idea, she jerked her arms and twisted her body, trying to escape. She cried out as one of the leather restraints rubbed against her wounded abdomen, and a person she couldn't quite see clearly rushed into her line of sight.
"Usagi?! Daijoubu-ka? Please, don't struggle, you'll only hurt yourself more." The person said, and Usagi recognized it as the man who'd saved her. Trowa. She squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again, waiting for her vision to clear. She didn't know where she was or what time it was.. she didn't even know if she was still on L4!
"Ugh.. Trowa-san..where am I?" Usagi asked as Trowa undid the restraints that held her down. "Leather straps.. doushite? Am I in some kind of trouble?" Trowa glanced at her, and she could see the tiniest bit of a smile on his face. He shook his head, and helped her sit up carefully, mindful of her injured side. When she was settled, he himself sat down on the side of her bed and turned slightly to face her.
"Well, first off, you not in any kind of trouble. I brought you to a friend of mine who has a clinic, since I knew I could trust her. As she was trying to examine your body and clean your wounds, you started to thrash about, so she had to strap you down so you wouldn't hurt yourself or her whilst she fixed you up." Trowa explained in a reassuring voice. Usagi frowned a bit, blinked and looked away. Trowa cocked his head in confusion, and was about to ask what was wrong, when Usagi spoke softly.
"Arigato for saving my life.. demo, I wish you had let me die. I- I killed that man. I don't deserve to live. I killed him with my own bare hands. I didn't even think, I just.. did it." She said mournfully. She whipped her head around to look Trowa in the eyes. "My family is dead because of me. If I had just let him do.. what he wanted to do to me, then my parents would still be alive." Usagi whimpered a bit, but no tears fell. Trowa watched her eyes, the windows to her pain filled soul; finally understanding what had happened to her before he'd found her.
"He- he tried to.. rape you..?" He asked, not expecting an answer. Usagi simply nodded mutely. Trowa stared at her in horror; not necessarily at her, but at what she'd been through. "That.. monster!" He exclaimed, making Usagi jump in surprise. "How could a man do that to such a beautiful woman..? That's.. how could he?!" Trowa stood up suddenly, and without a second thought, grabbed Usagi and carried her out of the private room and into the reception room.
"Sally, I'm taking her to Quatre's. Come on over when you need to do your stuff." Trowa said whilst walking out the door, not stopping as he talked. Usagi struggled, trying to get out if his arms, but he just held her more firmly but still gently in his arms. "Gomen, Usa-chan, but no. You're coming with me where I can watch over you and make sure you're safe." Usagi simply blushed at his command and nickname, but stayed still and quiet until they got to wherever they where going.
