Chapter NINE

Mamoru parked his bike then took the helmet from Usagi's hand and placed it on the shelf next to his.

Usagi walked to the side and watched Mamoru lock up his bike. He turned towards her and walked past her going toward the building knowing that Usagi would be right behind him. In that short one week, he was starting to get use to her being there beside him.

They rode the elevator up and got into his place and only when they were in the living room did Mamoru finally speak.

"You going to be okay Usa?" Mamoru asked while he sat down on a chair.

Usagi walked over and sat down in front of him on the sofa and picked up her cat.

"Yes I'm fine now." She answered not looking up.

"I figured that much. I guess you aren't use to crowds and that's okay."

Usagi only smiled as she started to smooth her stuff cat's fur.

Mamoru sat back more and sighed while he leaned his head back against the chair. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed while he thought about Rei and what he knew she was thinking. He shook his head to clear it from her and the others and thought about Usagi and what he was thinking about doing.

"You know what I have been thinking Usa?" Mamoru suddenly said getting Usagi to look over at him.

"No." Usagi just about whispered.

"I really can't have you come with me to work anymore and just sitting around. I don't think it is healthy for someone your age. So I think we should see about you going to school or are you done?"

Usagi's eyes flew open and she stood up fast.

"No Mamoru I'm not going!" Usagi said looking at him while he stood up also.

"Did you already finish?"

"No but I'm not going!" Usagi said walking over to the balcony doors.

"You need to go, a good education is important to your fu….."

"NO! I'm not going and you can't make me! I'll leave right now if you want but I'm not going to school!" Usagi said after interrupting him as she turned towards him.

Usagi watched him start to walk to her and she turned her back towards him to look out the glass door.

Mamoru took his time while walking over and stood beside her then turned Usagi to face him. Usagi looked down and Mamoru saw the tears building up in her eyes.

"Have you ever been to school?"

Usagi didn't answer.

Mamoru sighed.

"Do you know anything?"

"Yes! I'm not stupid… I know some things ….I went when I was younger until they stopped me….. . I'm not going now and have everyone laugh at me." Usagi said making Mamoru noticed that she was embarrassed.

Mamoru sighed again and let Usagi's arms go.

"If you don't want to go since you are embarrassed I understand but I can't have you just sitting and reading manga all day. It's not healthy…I tell you what, what if I have you do some school work and study the things I assign, will you do it?"

Usagi looked up and wiped her eyes and smiled while she nodded her head up and down fast. Mamoru smiled and turned and walked back to his chair sitting down wondering if his mother was home yet.

Usagi watched him sit down and walked back over to her spot and once again picked up her cat. They both sat there each lost in their own thoughts.

"Mamoru."

"Yes Usa?" Mamoru asked looking up at the ceiling after he laid his head back.

"I need to tell you something and I hope you don't hate me for not telling you sooner." Usagi said looking up from her cat and over to him.

"Yes what is it?" Mamoru asked lifting his head and looking in her direction his mind wondering if she was going to talk about her past maybe her past in learning.

Usagi looked up at him and Mamoru noticed she seemed embarrassed and even a hint of fright in her eyes.

Usagi took a gulp wondering if this really was a good time to tell him the truth that she was really female. She knew that she just couldn't go another week alone with him in his apartment seeing him every morning in only his underwear. Usagi knew she wasn't ready to leave and she really didn't want to be away from him since he was the only one she really knew but she would if he made her but she had to tell him the truth.

"Well what do you need to say? Just say it and get it over with." Mamoru said while he kicked his feet up and placed them on the coffee table while he thought about getting some food since he was hungry.

Usagi blinked her eyes and removed her hat from her head and placed it on the coffee table. She reached up and placed her hands on the bandana.

"I need to tell you that I'm a…." Usagi started to say but she shut up and looked with Mamoru to the door after they heard the door bell ring a few times in a roll followed by a few knocks.

"Damn it I should have known they were coming over." Mamoru said while he stood up and walked to the door missing Usagi placing her hat back on her head and her cat back on the table.

Usagi stood up and watched while Rei and Jadeite walked in followed by the others with Minako and Kunzite being last. Minako right away walked over to Usagi and stood in front of her and smiled. Usagi looked down.

"What do you all want?" Mamoru asked joining the others in the living room. He hated when they would barge in like that.

"Did you forget that the game is tonight?" Kunzite asked while he and the other three guys walked and surrounded Mamoru.

"Yes Mamoru and you have the tickets." Nephrite said while Jadeite and Zoisite nodded in agreement.

Mamoru eyes widen and that made the four guys smile even more since they liked when Mamoru forgot things.

"The game…tonight." Mamoru said looking at the four then over toward Usagi who was just standing there still looking down.

Mamoru reached for his wallet and took out the tickets and handed one to each guy. He looked at his ticket then back to Usagi who was looking at him now.

"I can't go."

"Why not? Our team is playing! We have been waiting for this game!" Zoisite said.

"Yeah you have to go with us it won't be the same without you there." Nephrite said.

"I can't leave Usa alone and we don't have a ticket for him and can't get one since the game is sold out." Mamoru said looking to the other guys.

"Don't worry about Usa Mamoru, we will stay and keep him company until you guys get back." Ami said smiling along with Makoto and Minako.

Rei just walked over and sat down while keeping her eyes on Usagi noticing her small hands and body frame.

"Yeah Mamoru we will watch…him….for you." Minako said grinning from ear to ear.

"Come on Mamoru the boy will be fine might go crazy with so many girls near. Let's go." Jadeite said while he and the others guys pulled and pushed Mamoru to the door.

"Yeah traffic is going to be hell so we better leave now." Kunzite said opening the front door.

"You sure it's okay?" Mamoru asked looking back to the girls.

Rei was still sitting while Makoto and Ami both stood by Usagi at her sides and Minako stood behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Just go we will make sure your friend is here when you get home." Rei said sounding annoyed.

Mamoru looked at her then back at Usagi who watched Mamoru being taken out.

"Bye Usa I'll be back later. Girls make sure he gets some dinner!" Mamoru called out before the door closed.

Once the door was closed Usagi was suddenly turned around to face Minako who only continued to smile.

"Yea! Girls night out without the guys!" Ami said walking over to Rei who had gotten up and was looking at Mamoru's stereo.

"I love them dearly but it is nice when they go to the games and gives us a break." Rei said.

"I'm going to see what Mamoru has to eat." Makoto said walking away to the kitchen.

"Come on Usa lets go and sit and talk. Get to know one another!" Minako said taking Usagi by her hand and over to a sofa.

Usagi sat down and reached for her cat and held it on her lap while Ami and Rei walked over after they had the stereo on some music they liked.

Usagi looked at each looking at Minako last. She raised an eyebrow since Minako had started to flirt with her again. Usagi wondered what was wrong with Minako.

"Minako stop." Ami said as she slapped at Minako's hand to get it off of Usagi's thigh.

Minako smiled and turned around and reached for her bag and took out a bottle of wine that she had stopped and purchased on the way to Mamoru's.

"Hey since we can't go to the club we will have the club here!" Minako said handing the bottle to Rei who smiled.

"Hey that's a good brand it will go good with the food." Makoto was heard saying as she walked back with two trays filled with food and over to the four.

She sat the trays down and they all started to eat each of the four looking to Usagi now and then while she ate. Rei glanced to Minako who nodded her head then she opened the bottle, took a drink then started to pass it.

The four started talking about nothing important just talked about their day and their week while Usagi ate and listened to them.

Minako took the bottle from Makoto and took a small sip then handed the bottle to Usagi who looked at it then at her.

"Here Usa you must be thirty also. Go on its okay we won't tell Mamoru." Minako said smiling.

"Yeah Usa don't worry. What Mamoru doesn't know won't hurt him." Makoto said.

Usagi looked at the bottle which was now in her hand before looking around at the others who each smiled and nodded their head in agreement. All four smiled even more, after Usagi took a drink from the bottle her first time ever drinking alcohol.

Usagi handed the bottle to Ami before taking some more food off a tray missing the girls each act like they were taking a drink, just putting the bottle up to their lips but they were just really taking a small sip before passing the bottle back so Usagi would get another drink.

Rei continued to watch Usagi praying Minako was right. She noticed the cat on Usagi's lap and asked, "Is that your toy Usa?"

Usagi looked at the cat then down and smiled and said, "Yes it's mine."

She looked to Rei who was seen sighing before taking another drink since Minako handed her the bottle. The four all noticed how soft Usagi's voice sounded.

"She thought it was her brothers." Ami told Usagi after noticing her looking at Rei.

"Her brother?" Usagi asked looking to Ami then to Minako who handed her the bottle of wine.

"Yes Mamoru is Rei's brother." Makoto said from across the three on the sofa.

"Yes Mamoru did tell me he had a sister. I thought you were a girlfriend at first since I saw you and him together that night." Usagi said before taking a drink.

She took another drink of wine since Ami handed it to her this time. Usagi didn't notice the long drinks she was taking or that Ami and Minako took turns helping Usagi hold the bottle so she would take longer drinks.

Usagi never noticed that the four weren't drinking as much as her. She never knew that the four had talked alone and Minako convinced them to check Usagi out to show that she really was female. And since the guys were gone it was the perfect time to check.

Since they didn't think Usagi would tell them the truth, they figured that they would just get Usagi drunk and take it from there.

Rei had finally agreed on the plan since she didn't want Mamoru to be gay. If Usa was really female then it changed everything Rei thought with a smile.

"So tell us about yourself Usa. Why were you on the streets robbing people?" Rei asked moving to the floor and reaching for some food. Makoto joined her followed by Ami.

Usagi glanced to Minako after she removed Usagi's hat from her head. The four all noticed the bandana and smiled.

"I'm homeless and don't have a family. I had to so I could eat." Usagi said while taking another bite of her food before taking the bottle from Minako finishing what was in it since she was now taking longer drinks liking how the wine tasted.

Minako only smiled and took the empty bottle. She took another one out of her bag, opened it and handed the new one to Usagi. Usagi took it and took a drink before handing the bottle back to Minako thinking she hadn't had any forgetting to give it to Ami.

"What do you think about my brother? Isn't he a dreamboat?" Rei asked taking the bottle from Makoto since Minako had handed it over. She took a little sip.

Usagi looked at her and smiled before she started to giggle which made the four all smile.

"He is the best! He saved me from that gas and feeds me…. He likes to walk around in his underwear." Usagi said before she started to laugh since the wine had taken a hold of her.

"Mamoru is stupid to have not noticed." Minako said looking over to Rei who only nodded and smiled.

"Hey don't be too harsh on Mamoru he was busy last week with that project. I bet he will notice this week if you are right Minako." Ami said.

"That's true you know how Mamoru gets when he is working. Has a one track mind." Makoto said.

"He doesn't like girls." Usagi suddenly said making the three look over at her. Minako was already looking at her head.

"He does too." Rei answered.

"No….He told me not to trust them. I think one hurt him." Usagi said not noticing when Minako reached and started to remove the bandana.

Rei got up and sat down beside Usagi on her other side while Ami moved and sat down beside Makoto across from the couch.

Usagi looked to Rei missing Minako smile even more and Ami and Makoto both going wide eyed after Usagi's hair was uncovered by Minako.

"Mamoru had an ex girlfriend that did him wrong. What he needs now is a new girl someone he can trust and not leave him for anyone." Rei said looking Usagi in her eyes.

Usagi blinked her eyes since she saw two Rei's and smiled.

"I don wanna leave um. He cute." Usagi said before she giggled again and looked away from Rei only to look at her again after Rei turned her head to her. Rei smiled knowing Usagi was buzzed.

"Is your real name really Usa?" Rei asked.

"No, it's….hic…..it's…..hic… Usagi." Usagi answered before another hiccup came out.

Usagi turned her head toward Minako after she felt the other woman start to remove her pens from her hair that was wrapped around her head.

"My air ong need be hid. Can't let any ….know I…" Usagi started saying as she lifted her hands up to her hair but they never made it.

Usagi passed out, falling forward only to be caught by the four who gently laid her back on the sofa. They all looked at her long braid that was over her shoulder and across her body, each one smiling.

Minako took a step forward and sat down beside Usagi as she picked up Usagi's long braid to move it to the side.

"Need to make sure. Kunzite and the two have long hair so maybe…" Minako said as she started to unbutton Usagi's shirt smiling the whole time.

"Their hair isn't that long!" Ami and Makoto said at the same time.

They got silent and watched along with Rei as Minako unbuttoned.

"Money - money - money…Ha! I told you all she was female! You each owe me a hundred!" Minako said standing up beside the three as they all looked down at Usagi's wrapped chest.

"Maybe a rib…"

"Oh shut up Makoto she is female and you will pay me my money!"

They both looked back and saw Rei sitting down by Usagi and slowly start to unwrap her chest. Ami moved and leaned Usagi up so Rei could do it faster.

Rei placed the wraps down then stood up when she was done, Ami gently laid Usagi back and stepped back while Usagi's shirt fell to her sides.

All four women widen their eyes and gave a whistle as they stood beside each other looking down.

"Damn! She is female! YES!"

"They are perfectly proportioned and so…..so voluptuous!"

"Mamoru's been feeding her well look at that figure! Filled out so nice in all the right places."

"Those men's magazines would pay top dollar for a picture of that! Damn wish I had my camera!"

The four continued to look and check out Usagi while a smile formed on their faces each of them couldn't believe that Mamoru hadn't noticed before and they each wondered how Usagi was able to keep him from finding out when there was only one shower in that apartment.

"Usagi's out for the count….. We should go and put her in Mamoru's bed! Yes…so she's more comfortable." Minako said as she turned to the others.

"You know the guys will have been drinking at the game and I'm sure Mamoru will be buzzed by the time he gets home!" Makoto said while she took Minako's hand.

"Mamoru never could hold his liquor. Two, three beers and …." Rei said looking towards the two and taking a hand from each.

"Oh to be a fly on the wall in that room when they wake up!" Ami suddenly said finishing their circle of joined hands, which got all four to squeal loudly as they jumped up and down a few times.

They all laughed and Makoto reached over and picked Usagi up and followed Rei into Mamoru's bedroom with Ami bringing up the rear. Minako ran ahead and pulled the covers back.

"Put her on the right side, if I remember right, Mamoru sleeps on the left side." Rei said as she let the wraps that she had picked up, fall to the floor.

Ami reached and took off Usagi's socks then stood back while Rei reached and started to undress Usagi.

"Hey might as well make it worth it and help Mamoru out!" Rei said after noticing the others looking at her.

"Yeah but keep her panties on at least. Mamoru sleeps with his underwear on, it's only fair." Minako said while the other two nodded in agreement.

"All right." Rei said. She finished then covered Usagi better and leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"Welcome to the family Usagi and trust me, you will be my brothers! I will make sure of it." Rei whispered. She leaned up and followed the others out of the room.

The four cleaned up the living room and kitchen quick and was ready to leave as soon as the guys showed up. They soon heard the guys yelling out happy cheers from the hallway making the girls smile knowing that their team had won.

Seeing the guys walking in behind Mamoru, Ami ran past Mamoru stopping long enough to give him a kiss on the cheek before she giggled and ran to Zoisite dragging him to the hallway. Minako did the same grabbing Kunzite followed by Makoto with Nephrite in tow and finally Rei. She stopped and pulled Mamoru close to give him a hug.

"Don't do anything you will regret." She whispered in his ear before she kissed his check then grabbed Jadeite and joined the others.

Mamoru looked at them with a raised eyebrow wondering what was wrong with the girls. He smelt the wine on each of their breaths and shook his head wondering if they were drunker then the guys.

He called out bye to the group while the guys said the same then he closed the door and after it was closed he heard each of the girls start to laugh as the group walked away from his place.

The group rode the elevator down and the four guys laughed so hard that the girls had to help them to the cars after they were told about Usagi and how the girls put her in Mamoru's bed in only her panties.

Mamoru shook his head thinking that once again the four girls were crazy. He took off his coat letting it fall to the floor in the hall closet and walked to the bathroom wishing that he hadn't had so many beers but the guys kept them coming.

Mamoru used the toilet and walked over and brushed his teeth the best he could hoping in the morning he wouldn't be hung over too much. He walked to his room and right away spotted Usagi under the covers.

Mamoru shook his head and walked over to the side she was on and started to lean over to lift the covers so he could pick Usagi up and carry her to the living room. But feeling the room start to spin Mamoru moved and sat down on the bed by her legs and grabbed his head.

"Ohhhhhhh forget it… he can stay… for the night." Mamoru mumbled while he moved and crawled over Usagi and got on his side of the bed.

Mamoru laid on his back and took his time removing his clothes down to his underwear and one sock and when he was done Mamoru wiggled under the covers going to sleep fast never noticing during the night when Usagi moved over closer and he lifted his arm so she could lay on his chest and he pulled her body closer to his.

But in the morning Mamoru did notice the small body that his hands and arms were wrapped around, holding tight and his eyes flew open. Not only because Usagi's body was by his but because her body was half under his and he was laying half on her and he had been kissing on her neck even sucking it since there was a small mark. He didn't even want to think what his hands had been doing.

Mamoru fully woke up from his dream, in which he was making out with Usagi, only to realize that it was true. He slowly moved back shocked with himself that he was making out with who he thought was a boy starting to believe in his head that he was really gay.

Mamoru looked down while he leaned on his hands over Usagi's body when he heard her moan out his name. He blinked his eyes being glad that Usagi was still asleep as he once again started to move from her only to stop and his eyes fly open wider when he spotted her chest.

"What the!…DAMN!…Where the hell did those come from?!" Mamoru exclaimed. The shock was clearly in his voice and on his face.

Motoki walked into the arcade and started to turn on the lights glad to start a new day hoping that there would be more business today since yesterday there wasn't much because of that game the night before.

He looked over and smiled when he saw Takai walking in.

"Hey Takai you are up early for a Sunday. I'm shocked." Motoki called out while he put some coffee on knowing Takai and even he could use some.

"Morning Motoki yeah I know it's early for me. I just couldn't sleep last night." Takai said while he sat down.

"Didn't you go to the game last night?" Motoki asked as he gave Takai a cup of coffee.

"No…Didn't have tickets….did you go?"

"No I don't like large crowds you know that." Motoki said.

Takai nodded his head.

"Yes I don't really either. It must run in the family since I know my brother doesn't either." Takai said before taking a drink.

Motoki nodded and took a drink before he spotted a table with glasses that one of the staff forgot to clean the night before. He got up and walked over and started to clean it while he wondered why Takai was really there. He could tell that something was on his cousin's mind.

Takai got up and walked over to where Motoki was wiping the table and started to help him which surprised Motoki since Takai was never known to be a cleaner. Now he knew something was on Takai's mind.

"Is something wrong Takai?" Motoki asked.

Takai didn't answer him right away but Motoki kept silent knowing his cousin would talk when he was ready.

"Motoki, your friend Mamoru, where did he meet his new friend, that Usa kid? If I remember right Mamoru was always a loner especially after what that woman did to him." Takai asked handing a glass to Motoki.

"He said they met on the street and he's letting the boy stay with him. I guess Usa picked his wallet and Mamoru went after him and some how they became friends. It's funny but for some reason I feel like I know that boy. Has a look that I just can't place." Motoki said walking away with the bin of dirty dishes.

Takai followed only to the counter so he could sit back down. He waited for Motoki to finish while he thought again that Motoki was right, Usagi did look familiar, like he knew the face but couldn't quite put a name to it and he just couldn't place how.

"So you said you saw Akako yesterday how was she doing? Still cheating on your brother or does she yearn for you again?" Motoki asked walking back over to Takai after he placed the bin down.

"No that bitch only wants his mon…ey…" Takai started to say but blinked his eyes then they flew open.

"Takai you okay?" Motoki asked placing his hand on his cousins back.

Takai stood up knocking his seat over, an astounded look on his face and in his eyes.

"She didn't get the abortion! Usa is Akako's and my son!" Takai screamed looking toward Motoki whose eyes were getting wider with each passing second.
