Chapter Ten 10

Kenji thought of Mamoru for most of the night and as he sat alone that next morning in his silent car in the parking lot waiting for Mamoru to show up his thoughts drifted to the young man who really was more a mature boy.

Kenji had always thought that Mamoru could and would do no wrong and the thought that the young man/boy had been intimate with his daughter, his only child, upset Kenji.

Kenji didn't want to think that his little girl was growing up. Growing into a beautiful young woman who other men would stare at which Kenji had always tried to ignore. Kenji wouldn't let his mind think of Usagi at that time, still in shock by everything that had happened and by the things she had told. Not wanting to think or wonder why Usagi felt that she had needed to lose her virginity so early in life and before marriage.

He had wondered before if Ikuko ever had "the talk" with their daughter but he didn't know. Kenji knew that his wife didn't like to talk about those subjects which were personal always telling him she would handle those delicate details her way with their daughter while reminding him that if they would have had a son it would have been his job. And Kenji did have the talk a few years ago with Mamoru since he had thought of him like a son.

But Kenji never in a hundred years thought Mamoru would have done what had been done with Usagi since he always thought the two didn't like one another. He could remember all those many times that they would be glaring at one another.

Seeing the young male's car pulling in to the parking lot, Kenji got out of his own and waited while leaning on his car wondering to himself when Mamoru's thoughts of Usagi had changed and wondering why he hadn't noticed. Kenji knew if it would have been any other male he had found in his daughter's bedroom naked, he would have been in jail that very moment. Since it had been Mamoru, the young man Kenji had thought so highly of, Kenji knew deep down he wouldn't hurt Mamoru. He would make him pay but he wouldn't hurt him physically.

He glanced at Mamoru after the young man, who wasn't even old enough to drink legally, got out and spotting the man, Mamoru walked over quickly stopping in front of Kenji hanging his head down not looking in the man's eyes. Kenji could tell by how Mamoru looked that he also hadn't slept well the night before and it made Kenji happy since he hadn't also.

Kenji had been tired from the conference and drive home Sunday morning. He hadn't slept the night before just like his wife and daughter. His daughter having stayed in her room while he and his wife had been up in their own.

Kenji didn't say a word as he turned around then walking to the building with Mamoru following right behind. Those who were already at work watched as the two walked in together like before only this time the two were dead silent and Mamoru had his head hanging down and was refusing to look at any one making everyone wonder what was going on after seeing the angry look on Kenji's face.

"Go put your things in your office then get in mine." Kenji demanded to Mamoru in a serious voice, before walking into his own office.

Mamoru watched him then rushed over to his own office doing what he was told while everyone stood around surprised by Kenji's tune. They all watched while Mamoru rushed out of his office only stopping after Nephrite said his name to get his attention.

Mamoru stood straight but didn't look to the four guys who were each in their spots.

"Did you have a good rest of the weekend?" Kunzite asked as he smiled along with the three. Each wanting to know how Mamoru had done with his hangover.

"Yeah how was Sunday Morning?" Jadeite asked trying to not laugh remembering his very first hangover. He noticed Nephrite trying to not laugh and Zoisite biting his bottom lip while Kunzites eyes danced in merriment.

Mamoru whose face was turning red, closed his eyes tight then shook his head fast as he hung it down before heading into Kenji's office and out of sight of the guys who looked to each other their happiness disappearing as each sat pondering what was wrong with Mamoru wondering if he had gotten some bad news since he looked miserable.

After Mamoru was in the room Kenji who had his eyes on the young man, looked to Kiki then told her, "Hold all my calls unless my wife calls and no one and I mean no one is allowed in my room right now. Do you understand?" Saying the last part louder so others could hear.

Kiki nodded in understanding wondering, just like the others, what was going on. She had never seen Mamoru with his eyes so worried or Kenji looking like he was out for blood.

Kenji stepped into his office and closed the door slowly then just stood looking down before turning to the young man he had always thought of as the son that he had always wanted. His eyes widened as it hit him that soon Mamoru would be a son to him. He closed his eyes and sighed not liking where his thoughts were heading to and the reason why Mamoru was going to be related so soon.

Kenji didn't like the idea that Mamoru had sex with his daughter and he wanted to wake from that nightmare knowing it wasn't a dream at all. Seeing Mamoru just standing pissed Kenji off and made him remember.

"Sit down now!" Kenji demanded getting angry once more since he thought about what he had seen the morning before, picturing and remembering Mamoru standing by his daughter's bed with only a blanket covering his body.

Mamoru obeyed moving quickly to the chair as he kept his eyes off the man but could see him out of the corner.

Kenji took his time walking over to his desk and sat in his chair then looked to Mamoru seeing the young man sitting in the chair he always sat in looking down with his head hanging even lower after Kenji turned in his direction.

Kenji took a deep breath trying to figure out what he wanted to say to Mamoru first as the young man kept his hands folded on his lap, his fingers tight on one another.

"What happened between you two that night before you had your way with her?" Kenji asked slowly watching Mamoru's head going lower knowing he wanted to know about the liquor that had been in the cup he had found on the living room floor.

The room stayed silent since Mamoru was once again trying to remember as he kept his head hanging and his hands clasping tighter on his lap.

"MAMORU!" Kenji yelled loud enough that the others outside the room heard it but it was muffled to them. Mamoru felt his body jump while everyone in the open area got silent wondering if something had happened but Kiki stopped them from entering saying that if something had happened their boss would be opening the door to ask for help.

"He sounds mad." Someone whispered looking to the others.

"Everyone go sit back down." Kiki said reaching for the phone that was ringing while the others did what she said. She wasn't about to go against the bosses orders trying to remember if she had ever seen Kenji so upset. Kiki had seen the man mad before but nothing like that morning.

"Mamoru what happen besides you sleeping naked with my daughter." Kenji said between clinched teeth not about to say the words having sex while watching as Mamoru finally lifted his head and looked to him.

"Sir…. I…. I'm sorry…. It…. Game…. We… They….." Mamoru stumbled at a loss for words trying to figure out what to say first, knowing he had been up most of the night trying to remember himself as he tried to think what had happened first. He remembered how during the night that he thought there was something wrong with him since he couldn't think straight.

"They who her friends?" Kenji asked.

"Yes! Her…. her friends showed up with…. With the guys, Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite. They were with the girls. I guess they are dating them." Mamoru answered starting to remember certain things.

"And."

"They….. They hung out with us for a while. The girls were playing a game and we guys were watching and they were drinking BUT Usagi and I weren't!" Mamoru answered quickly in a rushed voice as his eyes darted back and forth on Kenji's.

"Nothing? You two didn't drink?" Kenji asked watching closely as Mamoru looked away and tried to remember. Kenji now knew it hadn't been Usagi's friends with the alcohol. They were high school girls and couldn't have thought to have strong alcohol Kenji believed. No it was the four males.

"Ummm" Mamoru scratched his face as he looked away for a moment then continued, "I had…. Just the Ice Tea drink that Nephrite gave me."

"Ice….. Ice Tea…. From Nephrite?" Kenji asked as an eyebrow twitched knowing he had been right after he had tasted it.

"Yes sir. The guys said they had made the ice tea. I never had a tea like it before." Mamoru told in a soft voice looking in Kenji's eyes showing the man that he wasn't lying.

Kenji's eyes widened knowing now that it all made sense to him why Mamoru hadn't remembered anything.

Mamoru's eyes widened as he watched while Kenji stood up then rushed to his door pulling it open so hard he made it crash hard enough that the door knob made a hole in the wall behind it. Even making the pictures on the wall behind it fall to the floor near Kiki's desk.

Everyone in the open area having heard the door hitting the wall looked to their boss as he stood looking around. Spotting the man he was looking for in his seat looking at him. Everyone noticed Kenji's blazing eyes and got scared having never before seen the man so angry.

"NEPHRITE COME HERE NOW!" Kenji yelled pointing at him then into his office.

Nephrite stood up fast knocking his chair over as he ran into the office and looked to Mamoru who made eye contact with him before they both looked at Kenji who had slammed his door shut once more.

Kenji walked over to Nephrite fast making the younger man back up and fall back onto another chair next to Mamoru, looking up while Kenji placed his hands on the chair arms and got into Nephrite's face.

"You and those other little shits were at my place Saturday night right?" Kenji demanded watching Nephrite's eyes widen in fear before he gulped hard then nodded yes.

"You gave Mamoru a drink… a tea drink… what was it?" Kenji asked already knowing the answer.

"A…. A…. Long Island Ice Tea sir. BUT we only gave him five cups and the last one I don't think he drank it all!" Nephrite talking fast scared as hell now as he watched Kenji's left eye twitch.

He and Mamoru watched how the expression on Kenji's face didn't change only his eye twitching a couple of times.

"He's only nineteen. He's never had a drink before in his life and you gave him a drink with Vodka! Rum! Tequila! And GIN! …. YOU GAVE HIM HARD LIQUOR?!" Kenji yelled while Nephrite went back as far as he could in the chair trying to get away from Kenji.

Kenji turned away and started pacing back and force while Nephrite stole a glance towards Mamoru who went back to looking down ashamed making him wonder what the hell had happened wondering if Mamoru had burned the man's house down after they had left.

"Did you give any to my daughter?" Kenji demanded after he came to a stop and glared towards the chairs making Nephrite whip his head back to him before shaking it back and forth quickly making his loose hair fly around his head.

"No sir! Oh No!" Nephrite told as he held his hands up in the air.

"You better not have!" Kenji glared at him before whipping his head in Mamoru's direction.

"She had some beer." Mamoru told as he remembered seeing her with the can.

Kenji's blazing eyes swung back to Nephrite who looked at Mamoru with a, what the fuck, look on his face before looking back to Kenji.

"Jadeite gave it to her!" Nephrite just about yelled seeing Kenji making a fist.

Flying to the door and ripping it open then running out of the room both Mamoru and Nephrite, who had looked to one another then turned towards the open doorway after they heard Kenji yelling at Jadeite and the other two ordering them to enter his office as fast as they could. They heard Jadeite give a loud yelp.

The two in the room watched with eyes open even wider as Kunzite and Zoisite, with scared eyes, ran in and over to them after seeing where they were sitting.

The four then watched terrified as Kenji dragged Jadeite in by his shirt collar, a fist holding the front of the shirt by his neck and once the door was slammed shut, Kenji picked Jadeite up with one hand and held him against the door lifting him off the floor so his feet hung dangling. The five young men knew Kenji was strong and now had more proof.

"You! Gave! My! Little! Girl! A! Beer!" Kenji said between clinched teeth looking into Jadeite's eyes.

"I…. I…. I…" Jadeite tried to talk but couldn't.

"You gave my daughter a beer!" Kenji stated again making sure Jadeite could see no one but him.

Nephrite sat shaking his head no while Kunzite and Zoisite looked to Mamoru then to Nephrite before looking back to the two by the closed door.

Jadeite gulped loud enough that the others heard.

"Yes sir…. But… but she only took a few sips and…. and gave it back since she didn't like it." Jadeite answered then glanced at the four and saw Mamoru looking down while Nephrite face palmed and Kunzite and Zoisite dropped their mouths open in astonishment.

The guys were shocked but they all knew they would have told the truth also if they had been in Jadeite's spot knowing they could never have lied to Kenji.

Kenji suddenly slammed Jadeite into the door before he threw him towards the other four watching as Jadeite rolled landing by their feet. The five young men all watched while Kenji turned away showing them his broad back as he looked at the closed door. His breathing heavy as he tried to calm down.

The five stole a glance at one another before looking back to their main boss.

"What was I thinking…? I knew it would do Mamoru good to have coworkers close to his age but….." Kenji said softly rubbing his forehead. "I should have known this would happen….. Sooner or later." He talked more to himself.

He slowly turned and looked at the five seeing how Mamoru was the only one to look back down ashamed.

"You five will not be working together any longer. Mamoru will not be your supervisor until I say otherwise. I will inform you each what department to report to after we get into the new location." Kenji said watching as Mamoru closed his eyes and the other four just silently looked at him with eyes as wide as small plates. Each taking turns slowly blinking eyes with bottom jaws hanging open.

"And don't even think it will be good locations or a good supervisor…." He let his voice trail away before he turned away then looked back at the young men seeing their eyes going wider as his own eyes widened.

"Oh! I know! For now….. Mr. Chin, Mr. Salas, Mr. Nickel and Mr. Greens…. Yes! Oh yes, those four will be perfect for you four….. Mamoru, you have lost your office and will not have your own in the new place. You will continue to report to only me." Kenji told giving an evil smile as he watched the four all getting scared as Mamoru's frown deepened blaming himself for the losing the guys.

The five young men all knew the stories of those four older men and how mean and tough they were. Mamoru having had to deal with them that time he had messed up and had to apologize on his hands and knees.

"You four get out and go pack your things so you can report to them. Do not tell anyone about the alcohol or Saturday night. Do not even talk to each other about it or I will fire you and make sure you don't get another job. I will even call your school and you will not pass your courses since I know you need me to sign your papers!" Kenji announced pleased with himself before his evil grin reappeared.

He then walked over and opened the door waiting for the four to leave out. They didn't dare look to Mamoru but had seen out of the corner of their eyes that he still had his head down and his eyes closed tight. They each wondered what the hell had happened that made Mamoru and Kenji act that way.

They walked by Kenji each with their heads hanging and missed as he walked over to Kiki but they heard him telling her to get the four older men on the phone and how he wanted to see them right away. They walked to their spots each quiet and lost in their own thoughts.

Once Kenji had gone back into his office and the door was closed the three looked to Nephrite.

"What…" Zoisite started to say but stopped when Nephrite turned to look at him with scared eyes.

"NO! Don't! I need this job!" Nephrite told him holding up a hand and shaking his head no thinking of his future knowing that no other company had given him the chance like Kenji had since he had been a troubled youth back in high school.

"I do to!" Kunzite said thinking of his older crippled father who relied on his only child to take care of him.

"You're right, I do to and I'm not losing my scholarship." Zoisite told as he started to pick up his personal things from his desk.

Jadeite who still had his head down was the second one to start packing followed by the other two. They ignored everyone else around them and wouldn't talk or look at anyone.

Everyone in the area kept silent suddenly afraid to say or do anything but not knowing why only knowing their main boss was pissed off.

Once the four were done they sat down in their seats to silently wait. They watched while their new supervisors showed up and walked into Kenji's office. Mamoru was soon seen leaving with head hanging and he once again wouldn't look at anyone as he rushed into his office and softly closed the door.

Mamoru leaned on his closed door for a few moments before he sat down slowly at his desk and looked over at the opposite wall lost in thought. He was sad and upset that he had lost the four and was now being treated like he was a junior trainee but he understood why.

His mind drifted to Usagi wondering what she was doing and how she was feeling, not knowing that she was in her room crying her eyes out since her mother, true to her word, had pulled Usagi from school. He had no idea that the young girl had tried to talk to her mother but was told to shut up and not to say anything unless Ikuko told her to talk making Usagi only give the woman yes and no answers.

Mamoru turned his head and looked down before covering his eyes missing when his door was opened and closed softly. Kenji stood and just watched Mamoru checking him out reminding him of the time he had observed his daughter while wondering where the years had gone. Watching Mamoru now reminded Kenji of the time he had gone and brought Mamoru back to their area and the sad scared look in the boy's eyes then the change in Mamoru's eyes and how he started to worship the older man.

"You know at one time I had really thought to adopt you and make you my son. I should have done it then maybe you wouldn't have….." Kenji said in a soft voice as Mamoru turned to look at him.

"I'll be your son in law." Mamoru said then looking down and missing a small smile form on Kenji's tired face.

Kenji walked over and sat down opposite Mamoru and the young man looked up at him.

"I blame myself letting you be near and seeing her so much maybe deep down I wanted you two together just…. I just thought you both would be older." Kenji told his voice sounding tired.

Mamoru kept quiet not knowing what to say.

"I thought at one time you didn't like girls…. Why her…. My little girl?"

"She's not a little girl… anymore." Mamoru mumbled looking away as Kenji made a fist but he didn't move.

"Didn't you think she was a pest and too young?" Kenji asked looking away then back to Mamoru.

"I…. I don't know sir… it just happened." Mamoru whispered trying again to remember knowing Kenji had been right, Mamoru did think Usagi was a nuisance once.

Mamoru sat thinking about how he had changed his mind about her not long ago having considering her his best friend after spending so much time alone with her. He thought about her age knowing she was only three years younger than him and considered reminding Kenji but kept silent.

Mamoru knew he had started to enjoy Usagi's company and now he thought that maybe in time they would have started dating if the other night wouldn't have happened. He even knew he had fallen in love with her and couldn't imagine her not being in his life now.

"We could blame the liquor but you didn't have that much…. So you must have wanted Usagi sexually." Kenji said finally admitting to himself that his daughter and trainee had sex.

Looking at Mamoru closer to see his response which was his head shaking back and forth rapidly in denial until Kenji asked, "Subconsciously?"

Kenji watched as the head movement stopped and Mamoru looked like he was thinking before his eyes shoot open as he remembered and his mind started flooding with moments of past dreams. Having seen Usagi naked and having felt her naked body and the kisses, made him recall all those dreams. His headache suddenly disappeared.

Kenji leaned back and looked up at the ceiling knowing he had the right answer.

"Well… Son…. You will be married Thursday morning." Kenji announced watching as Mamoru looked at him then nod in understanding.

"We don't want a scandal not with my company getting larger and us getting ready to move locations. I just got the correct papers and deed for Mister Nemeth's land." Kenji smiled to himself pleased that the land was now his, the papers safe with his lawyers. Once this mess his daughter had made was cleaned up, Kenji would think about what he wanted to do with that land.

He looked to Mamoru once more then said, "Since the wedding is going to be happening so quickly it will be done downtown at the city hall. Then afterwards we will come here and start the moving."

Mamoru nodded again as he looked to the man he had always thought of as a second father and a savior.

Mamoru knew he owed Kenji everything since the man had rescued him from the abusive home he had been living at before Kenji had learned about the accident that had taken his parents. Mamoru knew how Kenji had gone back to that area thinking of getting his friend, Mamoru's father, to help him with the business so Mamoru had pushed his schooling not only due to his living arrangements back then but to help Kenji in place of his father.

Kenji sat up then stood up and looked down at Mamoru who tilted his head to continue to watch the man.

"I'm very tired and I'm going home for the rest of the day. I left some papers on my desk that I want finished before I come in tomorrow. I'm putting off the packing and the move for a few days." Kenji told then he walked over to the door.

"Yes sir." Kenji heard Mamoru say as he opened the door and left out.

Mamoru gave a deep sigh letting his breath out slow and loud surprised that Kenji hadn't actually hurt him. He waited until the man had left before he went into the other office and grabbed the stacks of papers. Mamoru rushed back to his own office and once more closed the door and hide out there for the rest of day even leaving late after everyone else had left. He knew the other workers had been whispering to one another but no one knew.

While Mamoru did what he was told being alone in his office, Usagi sat up hearing the front door opening and wondered if her mother was leaving the house again. She rushed to her open doorway and looked seeing her father as he entered and was removing his overcoat. Usagi wondered why the man was home so early but was scared to ask him. She moved so he wouldn't see her as he walked by her room heading to his private office not once looking in her direction.

Usagi thought about earlier that day when she had tried to talk to her mother to first tell about the birth control pills then second about how she didn't think she and Mamoru had sex but the woman wouldn't let her talk and wouldn't even listen to her.

Usagi thought about the books she and her friends had read about people having sex and the pictures she had seen, it really made her wonder if she and Mamoru had done it. Of course the pictures weren't X-rated but it did give her an understanding and she knew that if she was to compare what she and Mamoru had done to the pictures then maybe they did do it. But if that was sex then Usagi thought sex was boring.

Yes she had liked the kissing and how Mamoru had touched and held her but she always thought there would be a big bang that left you breathless and fireworks like the girls, who imagined it that way, had told her would happen when you had sex. Usagi had always wanted to talk to her mother about the subject but the woman would never talk with her about it telling Usagi that subject wasn't something nice girls talked about.

After seeing her father walking past, Usagi thought for a few minutes debating on going to Kenji to talk to him. She had always been able to talk to him before and maybe he would listen to her unlike her mother. He had always told her before that she could always talk to him about anything.

Deciding she needed to, Usagi looked around the house for her mother and was glad to find the woman in her room laying on her own bed taking a nap.

Usagi rushed to her father's home office and took a deep breath then knocked on the door and waited for him to answer her and once he did Usagi slowly opened the door. She looked in seeing Kenji sitting on the leather sofa that was in the room.

Usagi had no idea how tired the man was and if she would have known she would have waited to talk with him. For if she would have waited he may have listened to her.

Kenji who was leaning back with his head resting on the back of the sofa thought his wife was at the door and he waited for her to join him. His tired eyes opened after a few moments wondering why she hadn't sat down beside him like normal. He noticed Usagi standing not far from him looking at him then down to the floor.

"What do you want?" Kenji asked in a tired voice, before looking away from her knowing he couldn't look at her at that moment without remembering.

"Mama took me out of school." Usagi told as she started to walk into the room more.

"Yes I know. Remember I told her to do it."

"But why? You know I…. I want to go to school and finish and I want to go on and learn how to run the company." Usagi told looking to her father noticing he was glaring at her making her stop her steps.

"No, like your mother told you…. You will be married and will have a husband and a… and your own home to take care of." He told her after a few minutes. He couldn't bring himself to say baby at that moment.

"But you said I would get to be the boss one day of your company." Usagi pouted frowning even more.

"Nooo…. My business that I worked hard to start and to get it where it is today? Oh no! No you were never going to be the boss. You don't have what it takes to run my company! I was not going to have a female… a stupid girl in charge of my business!" Kenji told glaring at her watching as her eyes widened even more.

"But you told everyone that….." Usagi started to say stopping when he started talking.

"I lied! NO! You idiotic female… you aren't going to be boss ever! I worked too hard! To have you go and mess things up, oh hell no! You should have been born a male then I wouldn't be planning an early wedding!"

Usagi took a step back as he leaned forward eyes blazing as he looked at her. She had never seen his eyes that dark before.

"Your mother was right you are a brainless girl and the only thing you did right was that you picked someone I liked to sleep with. When the time comes Mamoru will be boss since he will be your husband. You will marry him and save face for your mother and me. We will not have people talking that our daughter was stupid enough to get pregnant before she was married. At least with Mamoru I can lie and say it's for the company's future and people will believe and accept it…. If you do not do this…. You know where the front door is." Kenji announced sitting up more.

Usagi felt her chest hurt as her heart started breaking.

"No I'm not with child! I tried to tell you all that I'm…." Usagi started to talk but stopped when her father rushed up and over to her grabbing her by her upper arms squeezing hard as he started shaking her.

"There is nothing that you can say to me that I think is important any longer! Unless you want to tell me you are sorry for being born female!" Kenji just about yelled as he shook her before pushing her towards the door letting her bruised arms go.

"Don't even look at me again! Get out of my face!" His voice she didn't recognize as she watched him turning his back to her. Usagi stumbled to the door and grabbed the door handle as the tears started falling.

"Like I said… the only smart thing you have done was that you picked Mamoru. I'm just glad that it wasn't someone like… Dimande Nemeth! But I wonder if you knew that his divorce was finalized, I believe you would have picked him!" Kenji told as Usagi gasped out loud then ran from the room with more tears while gasping for breath.

Kenji walked over and slammed the door then he went to sit back down closing his eyes as the tears started to fall and like his wife he wondered where he had failed with his only child blaming himself for her actions knowing he was still pissed off with the four young men and Mamoru, having finally snapped and taking it out on his daughter.

Usagi lay crying hard into her pillows, the covers covering her whole body, finally crying herself into a deep sleep. Later that night as the house was dead silent, Usagi lay looking up at her ceiling and vowed that she wouldn't try again to tell her parents about the pills she was taking knowing that she wasn't pregnant.

In her state of shock she stopped thinking about how to her she didn't think her and Mamoru had done nothing except like she told him, they had only slept naked together in her bed. She soon stopped thinking about everything.

Usagi vowed once more that she wouldn't talk to her parents again and stuck to that especially after her father had said what he had about Dimande knowing that Usagi was terrified of that man.

But it wasn't hard for Usagi to not talk to her parents since she didn't see her father again until Wednesday. Kenji made sure to leave out of the house early and he stayed late at work. She saw Ikuko more but only when the woman would pass her room but Usagi wouldn't talk about anything only answering when she needed to if her mother asked a question which wasn't often since Ikuko avoided Usagi like she had the plague.

Usagi had to eat her meals alone at the small kitchen table before her parents ate and the other times when she wasn't eating she was in her room with the door half closed since her mother wanted it open. Ikuko only let her leave the room to eat and to use the bathroom.

Unlike Usagi, Kenji did talk with Mamoru but in short comments which others noticed but no one asked or said anything after seeing a coworker who did ask Kenji if everything was okay and he had his head bitten off by Kenji in front of everyone. Kenji even came close to firing the worker. After that everyone acted like everything was okay and normal at the office.

In the few days that went by, Usagi thought about Mamoru praying he didn't hate her knowing she wouldn't be able to handle it if he hated her not knowing that she was on his mind now none stop. So much that he couldn't wait to see her knowing he was missing her. It had only been a few days but to Mamoru who had become use to seeing Usagi every day, it had been way too long.

It hadn't hit the young man/boy or the young girl on the break of womanhood, that this was no dream, they really were about to be married for real since her parents, his parental figures, wouldn't take the time to calm down and listen to their own child.

When Ikuko called the office Tuesday afternoon and told Mamoru, talking to him like she normally would, that he was to come by the house to pick up Usagi's items on Wednesday, Mamoru hid his happy smile from Kenji.

Mamoru had no idea that he was being treated better by her parents than Usagi was but once he found out, his frame of mind and how he acted, would change with the man he considered his savior.

To Be Continued.
