Disclaimer : I don't own Sailormoon. You think I'd be
writing a fanfic if I did? Heh -_-;
A.N. I know this is very Mamoru orientated, more than
an Usa/Mamo fic but lately I've been having fun writing
about Mamoru more than Usagi ^_^ Besides, too much Mamoru
is never a bad thing, right?
Thanks for the reviews people ^_^
In case you forgot or skipped part 5:
"Can we go out to dinner tomorrow night?" she whispered,
as if she was afraid that Tetsu would hear it. "Since it
will be the last time we'll be together. I want to thank
you for letting me stay here and looking after me."
"It'll be my pleasure," Mamoru replied, barely moving his
lips as their eyes stayed fixed onto each other.
Usagi felt him bringing her hand to his lips. There was a
comfortable understanding that they shared. The understanding
that they both had what the other wanted.

And To Change, Is It Good?

Part 6 - Do You Choose This Man...
Mamoru sat in the conference room, tapping his fingers impatiently.
He glanced at his watch. It was six. Usagi had made the booking for
seven. They were going to go to an Italian restaurant for dinner.
He was looking forward to it because it felt like Usagi was the one
who was going to miss him more than he would miss her. Otherwise,
why would she have asked to let him take her out to dinner? He was
a little hopeful, knowing she was in love with Tetsu and married
for that matter. But any reason was enough to make him think she
had changed her feelings since the first time she had arrived at
his place.
"Mamoru san, can you please stop tapping your fingers?" his co-worker
whispered. "It's rude!"
"I don't have time for this," Mamoru frowned. "I have to get back home."
"Why?"
"I'm going out to dinner."
"That can wait."
"No it can't!" Mamoru shouted irritably, slamming his hands on the desk.
Everybody looked at him strangely. He realised what he had done.
"Sorry, I'll just excuse myself. I need to make a call. I'll be right
back," he smiled politely and left the room quickly.
He leaned against the wall and rang home. Usagi answered, sounding
overly enthusiastic at the sound of his voice. It made him so hopeful
that it made him feel pathetic that he wanted somebody else's wife.
"Usagi," he murmured without the formalities. "I'm caught up in a
conference and I don't know how long it'll last. We're going to have
to cancel dinner. I'm sorry."
"Oh.." her voice fell.
Mamoru wished she'd stop making him feel hopeful.
"Well that's okay," she replied cheerfully. "I'll be waiting for you."
Her words struck deep inside his heart. To him, they sounded like a
married couple.
"You can call me any time," he told her. "I have to go now. Bye."
"Bye Mamoru."
He hung up and sighed. Why she had ever married Tetsu still bothered him.
Tetsu didn't deserve a girl like Usagi at all. Mamoru returned to the
conference to find that he had to write out an annual report.
"Mamoru san, are you listening to me?" the man he had been forced to
work with asked. "I've got the figures here..."
Mamoru didn't want to hear anything about the annual report. It wasn't
his duty and he wanted to get back home to see Usagi. Tomorrow morning,
Tetsu would be back and he would never ever be able to be with Usagi.
"Look, I don't care! Why don't you write it!?" Mamoru snapped at the man.
The man backed away. Mamoru walked over to the window and leaned against
the cool glass. Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Hello?" Mamoru answered in a dull tone.
"Mamoru?"
It was Usagi.
"Sorry, I'm still here. Apparently I have to write some annual report.
I have no idea why," he told her and glared at the man as he said it
loudly.
The man frowned back.
"That's okay. Anyway, Tetsu just rang me and he said he wants me home
tonight. So you don't have to make two trips when we pick him up from
the airport. Would you be able to come back for about half an hour just
to drop me back home?" Usagi explained.
Mamoru wasn't prepared to let her go just yet.
"Uh, sure yeah. I'll be back home as soon as possible."
"Thanks."
Mamoru hung up and walked towards the door.
"Where the hell are you going?" he heard the man ask, annoyed.
"I have to go home for a while. I'll be back," Mamoru replied carelessly.
"What, was that your wife?"
Mamoru ignored that question and left.
When Mamoru arrived home, Usagi was already packed and ready to leave.
They left immediately. Mamoru drove in silence. Usagi was a little quiet
so he didn't try to make her talk.
"I really did want to have dinner tonight," she sighed sadly.
"Me too," he smiled.
"Tetsu and I never have dinner together any more..." Usagi murmured. "It
would have been nice."
At the mention if Tetsu's name, Mamoru winced. So she still loved him?
They were silent for a while after that. Finally, Usagi spoke up again.
"You really loved her didn't you?" she asked him. "The princess, I mean."
Mamoru nodded.
"The things you wrote were really beautiful," she smiled. "Tetsu would
never write anything like that."
"You still love him?" he asked, glancing over to her.
"Yeah," she nodded.
"What if you weren't married to him?" Mamoru asked.
There was no reply. He wondered if he had asked the wrong thing.
"If I wasn't married to him?" Usagi repeated the question to herself.
Mamoru looked onto the road, then glanced back to her.
"I don't know really," she laughed.
Usagi realised she missed the house so much. Everywhere she looked at
contained memories of some sort. They nearly made her cry. Mamoru followed
her into the master bedroom with her luggage. He wondered why she was so
quiet all of a sudden. Usagi drew the curtains open and let in the moon
light. It was a full moon. Mamoru turned on the light. Usagi turned around.
"Could you turn it off?" she asked him. "I want to enjoy the moon light."
He turned it off. The room was dim. He saw her silhouette against the
moon light. He smiled. She was so beautiful. Mamoru wondered what he was
supposed to do to tell her how he felt about her. She had Tetsu and he
couldn't do anything to break them apart. It was wrong. He felt just like
he did in his dreams. Jealous of Tetsu. Tetsu was the prince in his dream,
the one who had his princess. What had been the last dream he had? The
last dream he had was the one where he had found the princess crying.
The prince was nowhere in sight. Mamoru had comforted her. And that was it.
What did it mean? He wasn't entirely sure. He walked closer to Usagi,
who was leaning against the glass. She sighed.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing..." she murmured.
Mamoru looked at her.
"Will you be all right on your own?" he asked.
She nodded. Somehow, he didn't believe her.
"Mamoru..." she whispered.
"Hm?"
She held out her hand. He took her hand and squeezed it gently.
"I don't think I will be all right..." Usagi sighed. "I can't stop thinking.
About Tetsu.. About.. About everything."
Mamoru pulled her close to him and held her. He stroked her hair gently
and still held her hand. Usagi lay her head on his chest, relaxed. She closed
her eyes. Why did she feel at ease with Mamoru? He was so comforting.
"Mamoru... could you stay with me tonight? This room just... it reminds me
of Tetsu," Usagi whispered.
"Of course I'll stay," he replied reassuringly.
Usagi lifted her head to look at him. She smiled. He smiled back.
"Thank you."
Mamoru leaned down and kissed her hair softly. He wasn't sure what he was
trying to say by doing it, but he just gave in to his urge. Usagi didn't feel
afraid at all. It made her feel warm. She felt his hand slide down from her
hair to her cheek. His cold fingers sent a shiver down her back. He held her
cheek and just gazed at her. Usagi wasn't sure why, but she didn't feel any
need to repel him. She didn't feel that it was wrong.
"Usagi..." he whispered.
He opened his mouth to say something else when his phone rang. They both jumped
and Mamoru let go of her. He answered his phone, turning away from her.
"Are you coming back?" he recognised the man who was helping him with the
annual report.
"Sorry. I'm busy."
And Mamoru hung up. Usagi was a little surprised by it.
"Who was that?" she asked curiously.
"The guy doing the annual report," he replied.
She nodded.
"I'll go make some coffee," Mamoru suggested.
"Thanks," Usagi smiled.
Mamoru stood in the kitchen, waiting for the kettle to finish boiling. He sighed.
Tomorrow, Usagi would be back with Tetsu and Mamoru would have to try and
forget about her. It wasn't fair. Life was never fair. And he was certainly not
going to persuade Usagi's feelings towards him. The last person he wanted to
have against him was Tetsu. As stupid as it was, he would have to sacrifice
his feelings to continue working with Tetsu. Well, if he did it before with Sharla,
he could do it again couldn't he? He could just deny he had any feelings. But it
was too late. Mamoru had already admitted his feelings. And he knew he couldn't
just forget about them. The phone suddenly rang. Mamoru's head jerked around,
looking for a phone. He found one on the kitchen wall.
"Hello?" Mamoru answered slowly.
"Mamoru?" he heard Tetsu's uncertain voice.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Are you there to drop off Usagi?" Tetsu asked.
"Yeah. I'm making some coffee, but well..."
"All right, I see. Thanks for dropping off Usagi. I figured it would save you a few
trips tomorrow anyway."
"Yeah, no problems."
"Can I talk to Usagi please?"
"Um.. Usagi?"
"Yes, Usagi."
"Okay... I'll get her.." Mamoru mumbled, a little confused.
Tetsu never wanted to talk to Usagi. What did he want? Mamoru felt a little curious.
He walked up the stairs to get her. She was standing by the window, watching the
stars.
"Usagi?" he murmured.
She turned around and smiled.
"Tetsu's on the phone for you," he told her.
"Tetsu?" she repeated.
He nodded.
"Thanks," she smiled and immediately hurried past him.
Mamoru just stood there, looking at where she had stood. He felt sick. Being in love
with somebody's wife was not an easy thing to do. Especially when it was one sided.
He sat down on the end of the bed, too weak to do anything else. No sooner had
Mamoru sat down, his mobile phone rang. He wondered if it was the annual report guy.
He answered and to his surprise, it was Sharla.
"I just thought I'd give you a call to say I know I stuffed things up between us again,
but I want to keep in touch," she told him. "As friends of course."
Mamoru wasn't sure whether this was a trap to lure him in. He wasn't thinking straight
at the moment and didn't know what to do.
"As friends, I guess it would be okay," he replied hesitantly.
"Great," Sharla laughed. "So how are things with you and that princess girl?"
"Princess girl? Oh, you mean Usagi? Sharla, you know she has nothing to do with the
princess."
"Oh, no of course not Mamoru. She just happens to look a lot like her."
"I thought we were trying to be friends," he scowled.
"You know I love to tease you Mamoru."
"I know, I know."
"So? How are things with you and her? I mean it's obvious you're in love with the girl."
"I'm.. not!" Mamoru denied it.
"You are too. She's just too naive and innocent to realise. That girl is so devoted to
marriage it makes me wonder," Sharla giggled.
"You make me wonder Sharla!" Mamoru raised his voice. "I'm not the one who goes
behind somebody's back to take advantage of someone else! I would never ruin any
marriage, whether it be mine or someone else's, just for my own benefit! And even
if I did love her, I'd never say anything because it would just hurt her and all involved!"
Mamoru then hung up, too angry to keep talking to her. Sharla never understood.
He turned around to put his phone back when he saw Usagi standing at the door,
staring at him. She looked bewildered. He just looked at her, unable to say a thing.
Finally, she spoke.
"Um... Tetsu says that.. he'll be catching a taxi home. And... he wants me to have
the house cleaned and everything before hand. He's coming back at eleven...."
"I see," Mamoru nodded. "Well I think I should go then. I don't think I want to be
here when Tetsu comes back."
"Why?" Usagi asked him.
"I just.. I don't know. I'm getting tired anyway."
Usagi nodded. Mamoru just walked past her and walked slowly down the stairs.
He didn't expect her to follow him.
Usagi stood there, unable to move. Who had Mamoru been talking to? She only
heard the last thing he said, about not telling 'her' even if he loved her. Was he
talking about herself? Usagi wasn't sure and she didn't know if she wanted to
find out. She still loved Tetsu and after talking to him, she knew she had missed him.
She didn't even know what she felt for Mamoru or Tetsu. But Tetsu was coming home
and that was all that mattered now, wasn't it?

Although I like him a bit because he's my own character ^_^;

Then, she walked over to the front door. She froze. It was Mamoru.
He stood there, looking pale and fatigued. Usagi wasn't sure what
to say or do, but just stand there and stare.
"Hi," Mamoru smiled.
Usagi didn't reply.
"I.... I came to tell you something..."
".... Yes?"
