Usagi hiccupped as she sat at the bus stop wringing out the water from her hair and skirt. The rain had come so suddenly and she wasn't prepared for it when she left school. Crying, she ran to the bus stop where she now sat, wet and shivering violently from the cold. Passersby walked along protected with umbrellas and raincoats while she waited for the bus, which seemed less likely to arrive as time went by.

I don't want to be here, she whimpered to herself. I want to go home!

"Odango?"

Usagi gazed up in shock at her daily tormenter, who looked taken aback at the wet and miserable rabbit. Mamoru's umbrella leant casually against his shoulder as he held it above his head to protect himself, his bag secured under his other arm.

"It's you…"

He raised an eyebrow at the young girl. "I have a name, you know. Or did you forget it already from the last time we bumped into each other?"

Usagi snorted at the hypocrisy of the statement. "When you stop calling me Odango, I'll think of you as someone other than that guy I bump into," the blonde retorted, pouting and stared at the floor, grumbling at her dumb luck - a thought interrupted when a heavy navy material fell on her shoulders.

She looked at the extra weight and registered it was a school blazer, and the boy was kneeling before her fixing it tighter around her.

"Are you crazy? Your jacket is going to get soaked!"

"It's just clothing," he replied casually as he stood back up and smoothed his pants down. He then stretched a hand out to her. "Shall we, Usagi?"

Shocked, she took his hand and he helped her up, handing her bag to her.

"I'll walk you home. Where do you live?"

"I-I don't think your umbrella is big enough for both of us," she stammered.

Mamoru chuckled. "Don't be silly," he replied and wrapped his arm around her to fit them both under the umbrella. "There. See? Plenty of space under here."

Blushing furiously, she barely remembered telling him her address, and it was only a few minutes later as they continued walking under his umbrella, still secure in his warm embrace, that she spoke again.

"Thank you, Mamoru."
