Tell Her 'I'm Sorry...'

Chapter 5

Rated R


Mamoru slammed his foot on the brake as he came to a screeching halt at a red light. He
unfolded the note and scanned his eyes over it again to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on
him.

Mamoru,

I'm sorry, but I can't handle this. I'm walking home. Don't
worry about me, as Sailor Moon the jump from your balcony is nothing.
I'm still wondering how you knew... But I'll ask you later... I
apologize for being such a burden to you... Thanks...

Usagi

Mamoru rammed his foot on the gas pedal, swirving around the other cars. Thank the gods
there were no cops patrolling in that general area of Tokyo. He continued to speed down the streets,
scanning the citizens for one girl in particular. Of course, she wouldn't be easy to spot with her
hair down...
Mamoru punched the brake, jerking foward from the force. He spun around in his seat to see
Usagi stumbling down the street he just passed.
Mamoru muttered bitterly to himself,
Usagi ruefully grabbed her hair and wrapped it around her wrist, stray hairs whipping in
her face. She glared at the cars passing her as if blaming them. Her eyes stilled as they landed
on a VERY familiar Mercedes Benz. Usagi could have sworn her blood thickened to led, weighing
down her whole body.

Mamoru furrowed his brow. Her eyes were locked with his.
He slowly backed up, pissing off many drivers along the way.
Mamoru rolled down the window "Get in the car...!" he called out.
"I'm going home, Mamoru!" Usagi huffed and continued to walk dizzily.
"Get. In. The. Car." Mamoru growled.
That was enough to convince Usagi. She was in the passengers seat in an instant.
"Had I been in tip-top condition, I would have run from you..." Usagi scoffed.
"Uh-huh..." Mamoru passed her a sidelong glance. "Buckle up."
And with that they were off.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where the hell are we going?!" Usagi screeched over the roaring wind. She gripped the
sides of the seat and dug her nails into the cushion.
"To the police station."
"WHAT?!" Usagi snapped her head to the frazzled Mamoru next to her. "You're gonna drive
there like THIS?! You'll be arrested for sure!!"
Mamoru slowed down.
"Agreed..."
Usagi's eyes were still wide with worry as Mamoru began cautiously driving. "If you're
trying..." Usagi muttered between gasps for air, "to make me puke again... You're doing a FINE
job!!"
Mamoru didn't answer.
"Why are we going to the station...?" Usagi shifted in her seat to get more comfortable.
"To tell them what happened..."
Usagi's ears perked up.
"No."
"What do you mean 'no'?"
"Exactly that. NO!" Usagi grabbed Mamoru's arm. "I'm not saying ANYTHING, Mamoru!!"
"You have to!" Mamoru tore his arm free, halting at a red light.
"I... I can't...!" Usagi's voice wavered.
"Why...?" Mamoru's expression softened, his eyes shifting to hers. "Did he threaten you...?"
"I don't know..." Usagi hiccuped and turned away. "I don't remember... He... he..."
Mamoru's eyes quivered. He slowly pulled over and unbuckled his seat belt.
"Usagi... Tell me what happened... What DID he do to you?" Mamoru cupped either side of
her face, turning her to him.
"I... I think he drugged me..." Usagi choked back a sob. "I can hardly remember... Just
that... I was taking a shortcut home... And... He attacked me from behind..." Her tears were
flowing freely now. "He... tied me up... And... and..." Usagi broke down crying.
Mamoru fingered the rope burn on her wrists, lightly kissing them. The young girl shivered
at the intimate touch. She bit her lip, trying to keep her tears from overflowing.
"You should get a blood test..." Mamoru dabbed at her eye with a tissue. "I mean, I'm
gathering it was the Date Rape drug... But I could be wrong..."
"Mamoru... Please..." Usagi scrubbed her face with her sleeve. "Just let me go home... Let
me forget about all of this..."
"I can't do that." Mamoru shook his head sadly. "You need to file a report and get to a
doctor."
"My report won't help at all!" Usagi cried. "I told you! I don't remember! I don't remember...
anything... I didn't see his face! Please Mamoru... Take me home... I'm not ready..."
Mamoru grimanced. He couldn't refuse her. He loved her too much...
"All right, Usagi... I'll take you home..." Mamoru pulled back on his belt and started up
the engine. "I'll take you home..."
