Mamoru had fallen asleep as he waited for the blonde to wake up. His mug was still in his hand, but it was completely empty, for he had waited too long. He then woke up from a sudden noise.
"AH!"
The man fell from the chair and to the floor. Luckily, he put his hand, the one holding the mug, up in the air so the mug would not break. He stood up, putting the mug on the coffee table. He looked at his watch. 7:37 PM.
It was half an hour or so since he had brought the Odango to his place. Mamoru then looked at the blonde. She had a horrified look on her face. She started groaning in her sleep. "No," she muttered repeatedly. She finally screamed, "NO!" and put her arms over her chest. The dark haired man couldn't stand seeing her looking all scared.
He walked over to the sleeping beauty that lay on his couch. Mamoru crouched on the floor and shook her gently, trying to awake her from her nightmare. "Usa-ko," he said softly. "Usa-ko, wake up." He shook her again. He kept saying her name, and he kept shaking her but it didn't work. Mamoru scratched the back of his head. "How does she get up early for school days?" he murmured under his breath.
"Usa-ko," he said loudly. Her face softened a little, but she didn't wake up. Mamoru kissed her on the lips for a few seconds and pulled away. The blonde slightly opened one eye. "No," she muttered again. The man looked directly into Usagi's eyes. "Usa-ko," he said.
"Mamo-chan," she muttered, her eye closing. But suddenly, her eyes popped open in surprise. She sat up and looked at Mamoru. "Mamo-chan?"
The said man stood up from his crouching position and let him sit next to the blonde on the couch. "Usa-ko," he said softly as he gazed into her eyes. Usagi couldn't hold it any longer. She started sobbing once more and looked down at her lap. Mamoru put his hand on the blonde's chin, making her look at him. "Odango," he said with a comforting smile. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. The blonde was surprised, but she kissed him back.
Mamoru could feel her warm tears as he caressed her face. He pulled back and looked straight into her eyes. Usagi looked right back into his eyes, but stopped, staring at her lap once more. The man reached for the hot chocolate milk – or once hot chocolate milk – from the coffee table and handed it to the blonde. "Take your time," he told her.
Usagi sipped her chocolate milk. "Uhm."
The girls walked around the mall in a line, ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the clothes and accessories that were being displayed in front of stores.
"Hey," Ami said. "Should we go check Usagi-chan? Make sure she's feeling well?" The girls looked at each other. "Yeah, I'm pretty worried. She's not one to get a headache all of a sudden. We've been in a crowd with lots of noise more than a couple times and she never got a headache," Minako stated with a frown as Makoto nodded in agreement.
"Same, it's not like her," Rei said. They then decided to go to her house and check up on her. "Hope she's alright," Makoto said. The rest nodded. They made their way to her house. They didn't talk or anything on the way, for they were too worried.
The four arrived at her house and noticed the front door open. "Oh, my God," Rei muttered. They entered the house and found Luna sitting near Usagi's purple sneakers. "Meow," the cat said. "Luna," Ami said, approaching her and picking her up. She petted the cat with care and asked, "Where's Usagi-chan?"
"Meow!" The cat jumped off Ami's arms and brought them to the living room. "Seiya!" Minako exclaimed. The said man was lying on the ground, shirtless and unconscious. "Looks like he's been drinking," Ami stated, looking at the man's red cheeks. She opened Seiya's eyelids and examined his red eyes.
"Hey, guys, look!" Minako held the torn purple shirt Usagi had worn. "Did he try to…" she began. "Rape her?" Rei finished for her friend. They gulped and Ami went back to examining Seiya. She noticed scratches on his face. "Luna," she said, turning to the cat. "Did you scratch him?"
"I'm guessing she scratched him so Usagi could escape," Makoto stated. "He must've been too strong for her."
"Meow," was the black cat's answer as she nodded. "Yeah, but where's Usagi-chan?" Rei thought aloud, making her way up the stairs to look for the blonde Odango. Minako went inside the kitchen and found the letter Mrs. Tsukino left for Usagi as Rei scanned the rooms. "Hey, Rei!" Minako yelled so her raven haired friend could hear her. She ran back to the living room. "Did you find her?" Rei exited the last room she checked, which was Shingo's room. "Unfortunately, no," she replied.
"She must've run away," Ami said, as she touched the boy's scars. "I found a letter in the kitchen. Usagi's family is out and they'll come back at about 9." While the girls thought, Seiya started moving and groaning. His actions startled the girls.
Ami ran next to Minako and Rei, who were behind Makoto. "Stay back," the brown haired girl said. "He could do anything horrific to us for all we know." Seiya stood up, and he kept stumbling. "I guess he's still drunk," Minako said.
"Oh, hey, there are my pretty girl's pretty girls," he said groggily with a smile. He took a step forward and the four girls took a step backwards. He tried to take another step but he fell and knocked out once again. "Hmph," Makoto said, grabbing the boy and dragging him into the kitchen. "Go find some rope, you guys," she ordered. The three other girls looked for rope as Makoto made Seiya sit in a wooden chair. "Found one!" Rei said, taking the rope out of the cabinet under the sink. The unconscious and shirtless singer was tied up against the chair in the kitchen.
"Let's go find Usagi-chan," Minako said, heading for the door. "Right," the other three said. "But one of us should stay in case Usagi-chan comes back here," Ami said. "And explain when her parents get here before Usagi-chan."
"I think I'll stay," Minako volunteered. "I'll throw stuff at Seiya if he ever wakes up again."
The three girls left. "Let's go check the arcade first," Rei said.
The volunteer sat on the couch, watching TV. She picked up Seiya's shirt and Usagi's torn shirt and put it near her. "Oh!" Minako exclaimed as Luna jumped on her lap and slept. The girl started petting her. "I guess you're tired from all that hassle with Seiya-kun, huh?" she giggled.
"…and I guess that's it," Usagi finished. Mamoru wiped off her tears with his thumb. He looked into her eyes and hugged her. "You're safe now, and you always will be," he promised. The blonde tore away from the hug and smiled at him. "Arigatou," she thanked him as she rubbed her feet. "Ouch," the blonde said, looking at her feet. The dark haired man frowned, as he stared at her feet. She had blisters from the roughness of the cement. "You ran here and you were barefoot?"
"Well, I was desperate to get away, you know. Most girls don't enjoy being raped."
"Ah, it was just a question, Odango."
"And it was just an answer, baka."
Mamoru looked at her. "I guess that is a legitimate answer," he said, scratching his head. The man stood up and walked to his bathroom. "Eh? You're going to take a piss while my feet are hurting?" the blonde screamed.
"Relax, Odango! I'm just getting something," he yelled back. He rummaged through the cabinet under the sink in the bathroom. "Ah, found it," he said with satisfaction. He took the box of bandages, rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, and ointment and went back to Usagi. "Okay, let's clean those blisters," he said. He poured the rubbing alcohol into the cotton balls and was about to put it on the blonde's blisters until she moved her foot away. "What are you doing with that?" she squealed.
The man glared at her. "Oh, I'm not trying to clean your blisters, Odango Atama, I'm going to stuff it in my mouth because they're my daily snacks."
"Haha, nice sarcasm."
"Thanks, I try," Mamoru replied. He sat on the couch and pointed a finger at the blonde. "Stay still. I'm trying to clean your blisters."
Usagi pouted. "But it'll hurt!" she protested. "But it'll help clean your blisters," he said, trying to convince her. The blonde gave up. She didn't want to have blisters. "Fine," she said. The man grabbed the girl's ankle and started rubbing her blisters with the cotton balls. The girl bit her lip to try to stop her from screaming in pain. He then took her other ankle after he was done cleaning the blisters from the other foot.
"There," Mamoru said as he rubbed the fourth and final blister. Then he took the ointment, squirted some in his index finger, and rubbed it on the blisters. Lastly, he took tiny bandages and covered every blister. "All done," he said, looking at the blonde. "Didn't hurt at all, eh?
"Uhm," Usagi said, looking away. The man frowned. "It didn't hurt that bad, did it?" he asked. "Well," she said, scratching her head. "It did hurt a lot."
"But not now, right?"
"No…"
"Then that's good." Mamoru said. "Want me to kiss your booboos to make sure it doesn't hurt?" he snickered. The blonde blushed. "No!" she said. The man stared at her pink lips. "Did you bite your lip?"
"Yeah, I didn't want to scream when you were torturing me with that rubbing alcohol," the Odango pouted. "Well, I think you bit it too hard," Mamoru said as he observed her lip. He sat back and stared into the girl's eyes then at her feet. "You sure you don't want me to kiss your booboos in your feet?"
"I'm positive."
"What about your other booboo?"
"What other booboo?"
"You were biting your lip too hard, so there's a booboo now."
"Ah."
"So you want me to kiss that booboo?"
"Be my guest."
Mamoru kissed Usagi passionately for a moment and broke away. "I should get you home," he told her. "I know," she said. They walked to the dark haired man's door. "Here," he said as grabbed his white slippers that were near the door. "Don't want you to get more blisters." The blonde frowned. "It's too big," she said.
"No biggie. Your house isn't that far anyways," he said with a smile. She smiled back at him. "Okay." Usagi slid her feet into the slippers and they walked to the elevator, hand in hand. They got to the lobby and they exited the building. They were still holding hands.
"Mamo-chan," Usagi began. "Hm?" Mamoru said, looking down at the blonde. She didn't look at him, she just looked straight ahead. "What if Seiya's still there?" she asked in a shaky voice. "I'll beat the crap out of him," the man answered. "Mamo-chan!" the girl stopped walking and looked at him. "What? He attempted to rape you!"
"But you can't beat him to a pulp! Violence isn't the answer to anything!"
"And rape isn't the answer to winning a girl's heart," Mamoru muttered to himself. "What was that, Mamo-chan?" the petite blonde asked. "Uh, nothing," he said. They started walking again in silence. "I hope he's not there," Usagi wished. "Either way, I'm going to beat him up," Mamoru grinned.
The Odango slapped him. "No," she told him.
"So can I slap him?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Because you just slapped me."
"And?"
"Nevermind." They kept walking until they saw Usagi's friends.
"Usagi-chan!" Makoto called out, running to the said girl. "Mako-chan!" Usagi let go of Mamoru's hand and hugged her friend. "Usagi-chan," Ami and Rei said as they ran to the blonde. "Oh, my gosh. Thank God you're okay!" The raven haired girl exclaimed.
The three girls told Usagi about their story of them going to her house to check up on her. Then they asked about the man that Usagi was holding hands with. "Oh, uh," the blonde stammered.
"I'm her boyfriend," Mamoru said with a grin. "Boyfriend?" the four girls said. "Usagi-chan, why are you surprised?" Makoto asked. "Who, me? No, I'm not!" she said, sweatdropping.
The five then walked to Usagi's house. "Mina-chan stayed behind in case you came back," Makoto explained to her friend when she was asked where was Minako. When they got to Usagi's house, it was probably 8:24. The Odango called Yaten and Taiki to pick up their brother. "Why?" they asked. Usagi told them the story, and Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako overheard it, so Usagi didn't have to tell it again to them. "Let's go kill him," Makoto declared after she heard the story. "Yeah!" the other girls said. "Meow!" Luna mewed. Mamoru smiled evilly.
"No!" Usagi protested. "Violence isn't the answer."
"And raping is the answer to a girl's heart? Nuh-uh," Minako said, shaking her head. FINALLY, someone agrees with me, Mamoru told himself.
They all sat on the couch (really big couch huh?) and watched TV. It was cartoons, which was Usagi's favorite. Luna sat on her owner's lap. "How about we watch a movie after the two pick up Seiya?" Rei suggested. "It's 8:45 right now, and the movie starts at 9. We could stop by that new café to wait for the movie to start."
"Yeah!" they all agreed.
Usagi got upstairs to get put on a blue tee. As soon as she got out, the bell rang. The blonde ran to the door and opened it. It was Yaten and Taiki. They chatted for a bit until Usagi brought them to the kitchen. They untied Seiya and carried him outside. "Gomen, Usagi-chan," Taiki apologized. They soon left and the blonde went back to the living room."Let's go?"
They all got up, ready to leave. But Usagi scribbled down a little note for her mom so she wouldn't worry.
Mom,
I'll be out with friends. I'll be back before midnight.
Xoxo,
Usagi
"You ready, Usa-ko?" Mamoru asked as he stood near the door. "The others are already heading for the café."
"Yeah, definitely," Usagi said with a smile. She put the note in the kitchen table and put on her slippers, which meant that she was keeping Mamoru's slippers. She kissed his cheek and they walked outside, shutting the door behind them.
"Mamo-chan?"
"Hm?"
"You said I was your girlfriend."
"Yes, I did."
"Since when was I your girlfriend?"
"How about now?"
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yes."
"Oh, okay."
"That's not a legit answer."
"It so is."
"How?"
"Because I'm your girlfriend now," Usagi said as she tiptoed to kiss Mamoru's cheek. "That's how."
