Why You Shouldn't Seduce Your Boss Chapter Ten. By EternalSenshi. I don't own SM. Please R&R. Guess who's back...
Ami and Motoki ran past the boiler room, until Motoki stopped to see Mamoru holding Usagi. "Fuck!" he whispered, seeing as how they were probably back together. "Miss Mizuno!"
Ami came back to see Motoki at the boiler room window. "What's going on?"
Inside, Usagi and Mamoru were gazing at Naru's limp body, chained to a pole. "We have to help her!" Usagi cried.
"Is she alive?"
"She has to be!"
Mamoru looked around. "You try waking her up, and I'll find something to get her free."
Usagi nodded, and crouched down to Naru's side. "Naru! Naru!" Usagi whispered hurriedly, shaking her friend. "Naru!"
Motoki and Ami looked at each other, and Ami nodded. "Drop me down."
"Wait," he said. He heard a scream in the distance, and then silence. "Was that-"
"Naru!" Ami cried. She looked confused. "Who's down there?"
"Naru!" Usagi all but cried, and hit her friend across the face.
Naru finally stirred. She moaned lightly, and her eyes fluttered open. Usagi smiled, relieved. "Naru!" Usagi cried happily.
"Usagi...?" Naru asked, confused. Then, she gasped. "Get out of here, Usagi!" she cried hoarsely.
"What? Naru, everyone's looking for you!"
"Usagi, trust me! Get out of here! Now!" she whispered urgently.
Mamoru appeared with a crowbar. "Naru's awake?"
"Usagi, go!" Naru said, close to tears. "He's going to hurt you!"
"Who is?" Usagi asked.
Naru shook her head. "Just go!"
"Not without you!" Usagi protested.
"Don't play the hero, just go!"
"I'll loosen her chain," Mamoru suggested.
"NO!" Naru screamed.
Ami gasped. "Naru is down there!"
"Then who screamed?" Motoki asked.
Ami shrugged. "I'm going down there."
"No-wait." Motoki said, holding her back with his arm.
Mamoru kept trying to loosen her chains as Usagi tried to calm Naru down. Naru kept struggling and warning them to leave.
"I can't get these chains off with her moving so much!" Mamoru called.
"Look, Mr. Chiba's trying to help. Just stop moving-"
"Get out of here!" Naru cried.
The lights in the boiler room shut off, leaving them all in darkness. Usagi looked around. "What the fuck-"
"Usagi, I'm sorry." Naru bowed her head, tears falling down her dirtied cheeks.
"Naru, just-" There was a blunt object that made contact with Usagi's head, and she fell over, blacking out.
"Ami, Ami, wake up," Motoki said, shaking her.
Ami yawned. "I'm not used to this,"
"You're supposed to be?"
"If I were a superhero," Ami said dryly. "No, but- has anything happened?"
"Still pitch black."
Ami stared at the darkness, wondering what had happened to the three. She looked at the grass next to her, and sighed. "Why did the lights go off?"
Motoki shook his head. "Power failure?"
"There's still that humming sound in the boiler room," Ami pointed out. She stared at her feet, then felt the glare of a light on her cheek. She looked up in surprise. "Where did they go?"
Motoki shrugged.
"I'm going in," Ami said, getting up.
"No!" Motoki said, pulling her down. "We don't know what's happened! We can't go rushing into things!"
"What if they're hurt? They could need our help!"
"Then we'd be better prepared waiting," he said firmly. He softened his gaze at her wounded look, and said lightly, "Just be patient. We may end up having to be superheroes."
Usagi opened her eyes, and looked around. The chains around her waist were heavy and cold, making her shiver in the freezing boiler room. She moved slightly, but found herself tightly bound. She looked to see Mamoru in the corner, out cold, and Naru still tied in a sitting position. A sharp pain started in the back of her head, and spread around her head, making it ache immensely.
"Awake, little rabbit?" a voice said.
Usagi turned to see a man in front of her, shaded slightly, but she could still recognize him anywhere. "Asanuma!"
Asanuma stood, glaring at her, with something slung over his shoulders. Upon further inspection, Usagi made out that the thing was a person, and that person was Rei, her hair strewn everywhere.
Usagi gasped. "What did you do to her? And Naru?"
"Leave Usagi alone," Naru whispered, watching him longer than Usagi.
Asanuma's eyes strayed to her, and he set Rei on the ground. He walked softly to Naru, and then kicked her across the face.
"Stop!" Usagi cried as Naru's face snapped aside. Unsatisfied, he hit her again.
"Stop! STOP!!" Usagi screamed. "Why the fuck are you doing this?!"
Asanuma kicked Naru again, and was finally satisfied with the stream of blood steadily dripping down the side of her head. "You left me with no choice," he said.
"You fucking psycho!"
"You left me with no choice, Usagi."
Usagi watched as Naru's head lolled to one side, indicating that she was unconscious again. Usagi turned back to Asanuma. "Where's Mr. Chiba?"
"Oh, that guy? Why should I tell you?"
"Because he had nothing to do with this! He just came to help search for Naru!"
"Really?"
"YES!"
"Why would he come to search for your friend?"
"Because Mr. Furuhata is his friend!"
Asanuma nodded, not believing her. "Oh, Usagi, I believe he has everything to do with this," he said softly.
"Where is he?!"
"I couldn't have him running off and telling people where I am, and what I've done! Your friends would have blurted it out to everyone."
"Then where is he?!"
Asanuma studied her expression with great interest. "Why, Usagi, I'm starting to believe that you actually care for him. In fact, it looked obvious that you did when you were locked in his embrace."
"He's my boss, Asanuma! We work together - he's just kind to me!"0
"Kind enough to fuck you?"
"NO!"
Motoki looked at Ami. "Mr. Itto...he's behind this?"
"Mr. Chiba saved her from Asanuma before. He was trying to rape her, when Mr. Chiba knocked him out." Ami whispered.
There he goes, always trying to play the hero... Motoki thought.
"Asanuma tried to convince Usagi to have sex with him almost every day. She refused. And yet," Ami said thoughtfully. "She was the best thing that ever happened to him."
"You drunken bastard!" Usagi screamed.
Asanuma's interested look changed into a grim frown. He strode up to her, and stood about one inch from her face. "I'm quite sober, thank you." He pressed his lips to hers, and Usagi struggled. He wiggled his tongue into her mouth, and she clamped her teeth down on it. He withdrew quickly, and raised his fist, punching her in the face. She screamed and bowed her head, feeling a sharp pain on her cheek, and feeling a little disoriented, as if she'd breathed out all of her air.
"What was wrong with me?" he roared, smacking the other side. Again, she screamed. "Why didn't you want me?!" he continued, hitting her harder, back and forth, as if her head were a tennis ball.
Usagi couldn't fight his punches. Each blow left her weaker than before. All she could do was turn her head, feeling the blood drip down and letting him have complete control. She felt his wet fist make contact with her temple, then felt him stop.
"What was wrong with me?" he asked softly.
Usagi's head lolled to one side, and she moaned softly.
"DAMN IT! ANSWER ME!!" he screamed. He pointed to a far corner, his hand shaking. "He - he's fucking you, isn't he?"
"No one is fucking me," Usagi lied hoarsely.
His hand stayed erect, shaking violently. "W- who's fucking you?' he demanded.
"No one."
"STOP LYING!"
Usagi felt her whole body grow weaker. She desperately needed to sit down and get some circulation in her body. The air was filled with the sound of his panting and half-sobs.
"Why wasn't it me?" he asked.
Ami and Motoki watched silently, filled with pity. "Poor Asanuma, poor Usagi," Ami said softly.
"He could have taken this a better way, instead of kidnapping and torturing," Motoki muttered.
"Ami!" a voice called across campus. Both looked to see Yumi and Kari running across the lawn, followed by a swarm of police officers. Ami motioned for them to be silent, and they dropped to the grass.
"Down in the boiler room," Ami whispered.
"No, wait!" Motoki protested.
"We have to do it now!" Ami said angrily. "We have back up, and she might not last much longer!'
Motoki looked at the police officers, and finally relented.
"Damn it Usagi! What was wrong with me?"
"I didn't love you like that!" Usagi burst out weakly. "I loved you, but that didn't mean I wanted to sleep with you!"
Asanuma turned away, then turned back in fury, slamming her in the face. Usagi screamed, and struggled against her chains.
"Damn you! Fuck you!" he yelled. He fell towards her, and she cringed, afraid of another blow. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes tentatively, noticing him on the floor, holding his head. Rei was looking up at Usagi, a triumphant smile on her face. She had tripped him.
"Saved you again, Tsukino," she said.
Usagi smiled a watery smile. "Rei..."
Asanuma stood up, and quickly kicked Rei in the stomach, making her curve into his foot.
"STOP!! Please!" Usagi sobbed.
There were footsteps sounding loudly on the metal stairs. Asanuma looked around like a trapped animal, but let the officers take him. Yumi and Kari thundered down the stairs after the stampede of police. "Naru!" they cried, spotting Naru in her position.
Usagi watched the police officers take Asanuma away. Beaten and bruised, she felt worse for him than she did for herself. She looked to see Motoki pulling her chains off, and collapsed to the floor. "T-thank you," she gasped.
Motoki grunted, then went to help Naru. Usagi smiled, taking that as a good sign.
Mamoru went over to where Usagi was getting treated for her many injuries. "You okay?"
She nodded. "You okay?"
He nodded. The attendant smiled, and went to help Naru. He sighed. "Usagi, about what I said earlier-"
"I'm not sure if I like unrequited love," she said softly.
"I know. I just-"
"I've found you a replacement, and I'm going to-"
"Damn it Usagi! Just listen!"
Usagi cringed as he yelled. "Please don't yell at me," she said frailly.
He sighed again. "I'm sorry. But, Usagi, I-I care about you. A lot. I can't go a day without thinking about you."
"Then why can't you just say, 'I love you'?"
"Because it's hard for me to say!" he said. "I'm a guy, Usagi! I don't say those three words!"
"Yeah, well, maybe it's time you learn," Usagi said.
He paused. "I-I-why don't you say it?!"
"Because I've already said it!" Usagi cried. She took in a deep breath, and said, "Thanks for helping me find Naru." She got off the ambulance bench and began walking to her dorm.
"Miss Tsukino!" he said. He grabbed her arm and pulled her close. "So, my attention's not good enough?"
"Your attention will waiver."
"My attention is focused on you."
"For how long?"
"For forever."
"That's not enough."
"What is enough?"
"I want to be able to know someone, to love someone, and -"
"Marry someone?" Mamoru asked with a smirk.
"I'm not getting married," Usagi said with defiance.
"Why not?"
"Because,"
He smiled. "Why don't we discuss this over dinner? Seven thirty tomorrow, La Petite Fleur."
Usagi turned away from him. "Fine," she said angrily.
"See you tomorrow at work," he said, walking away.
Usagi waited a couple of seconds, then called to him, "I'm still fired!"
"Sure you are,"
"I quit!"
"You did."
"Fuck you!"
Rei, Ami and Naru looked over at her, surprised. "Why did you yell 'fuck you' to your boss?" Rei asked.
Usagi mumbled something about men being stupid, then trudged back to her dorm.
Asanuma sat in his jail cell, waiting for her to come. She'd bail him out, she'd give him another chance, then he'd be fine. All he had to do was wait for her.
Footsteps clicked on the cement floor. Two officers stood and opened the door, allowing a well-dressed girl inside. She took a chair, and stared straight into Asanuma's eyes. "We had a deal," she said angrily.
"I know, I'm sorry Miss Yuriko-"
"I don't want your excuses!" Erika snapped, standing up angrily. "You finish the job, or I'll find someone to finish you."
"Do you want me to kill her?"
"If it comes down to it, yes."
But-but I love her!"
She laughed. "The poor don't know love. Only the powerful. Now, I'll get you bailed out. And this time, get it right!"
Asanuma stared helplessly at his employer. "What if he gets in the way?"
"Get her alone! You know, I was pulled out of an important meeting in Ireland to hear your silly questions, and I wanted to see results!"
"Yes, Miss Yuriko." Asanuma bowed his head in embarrassment.
She smiled. "When they let you out, I want you to come over to my place." She handed him a folded piece of paper. "I'll be waiting."
She left, smiling. Asanuma stared at the piece of paper, and sat back, unsure. "Wait!" he called.
Erika walked back. "Is there a problem?"
"I don't want to hurt her."
Erika put a hand on his cheek. "Oh, Asanuma, one night with me won't change anything."
"I'd know."
"You're not going soft on me, are you?" she asked.
He shook his head.
"You've hurt her already. By getting her away from him, you can save her."
The school let out for a day, due to the fact that almost the whole population had been up, looking for Naru. Motoki had just gotten up and was fixing himself some coffee, when there was a knock at his door. He opened it, and his mysterious girl jumped him, pressing her lips firmly to his.
"Are you okay? I mean, after last night's attack?" he murmured.
"I will be once we make love," she said.
He needed no further explanation, and they began stripping their clothes.
Usagi, wanting to reconcile with Motoki, was walking down the hallway to his room, holding her notebook close to her chest. I don't want to fight with him anymore, she thought. I'm going to do everything to be his friend.
She saw his door slightly ajar, and opened it a crack. She saw Motoki and someone she knew...and they were in a state of foreplay...
Usagi's notebook dropped from her hands. The couple looked up to see her shocked face.
"Usagi!" the girl cried.
"Oh...my God..." Usagi gasped.
"Oh, crap," Motoki said.
"How could you?!" Usagi cried.
"Let me explain!" the girl said.
"Oh, my GOD!!"
Well, I'm going to end it here, and you'll find out who the mystery person is. You guys need to keep guessing... whee! Anyway, I'll see you next chapter. BTW, this chapter is a little more angsty than planned, due to my horrible HORRIBLE trip to Orlando. I'm not going to bore you with what happened, but I'm definitely letting out angst here.
Anyway, you'll see who it is next chapter!

Well, I'm going to end it here, and you'll find out who the mystery person is. You guys need to keep guessing... whee! Anyway, I'll see you next chapter. BTW, this chapter is a little more angsty than planned, due to my horrible HORRIBLE trip to Orlando. I'm not going to bore you with what happened, but I'm definitely letting out angst here.
Anyway, you'll see who it is next chapter!
