Tell Her 'I'm Sorry...'

Chapter 11

Rated R


It was the third time that week Usagi's body went numb.
"Usako...?"
She could hardly even make out Mamoru's voice. Not only were hers ears nearly incapable
of registering his words, but the raw, anguished infliction in his voice made him seem like a
stranger.
"Usako..." he repeated again. Mamoru cautiously stepped up the the trembling blonde and
wrapped his arms around her. "They want you to go to the morque... to look at the body... To see
if-"
"No!" Usagi snapped, tearing herself away from Mamoru. "No, no, no, NO! I'm not going!"
Her eyes were wild, two twin oceans that seemed to be drowning themselves with salty, stinging
water. She clutched at her towel and back herself up against the wall, knees about to give way.
"There- there's got to be... a-another Tsukino Usagi out there... H-he wasn't talking about me..."
Mamoru grimaced. It terrified him to see his love in such a frantic state. Her pale, fragile
body quivering, her breathing raspy and at an unhuman rate. "Usako... You need to go check..." Mamoru
picked up her clothes and slowly walked over to her. "I'll help you get dressed, OK?"
"I... I don't want to go... Please!!" Usagi buried her face in her hands, sobbing. "I don't
remember, Mamo-chan! Please! Please, don't make me go...!!"
Before Usagi even realized it she was standing in the middle of the bedroom, fully dressed.
Again, her body seemed capable of going on without her... with Mamoru's help at least... She couldn't
take anymore... All of this was just too much! Haveing to see her rapist?! Well, at least there was one
plus... No words would have to be exchanged... But he DID say he was sorry...
Usagi's knees betrayed her.
Just before she collapsed to the floor, two strong arms wrapped themselves around her and
gently lead her to the ground. Mamoru was kneeling behind her, face buried against her floppy
bun. He kissed lightly down her cheek and throat, whispering words of comfort in her ear. Mamoru's
breath skipped across her tingling skin, slowly bringing the feeling back.
"I..." Usagi stopped herself, choking back a sob. No, if she turned back now then it would
haunt her forever. She had to know... Had to get it out of her mind. "Let's go..."

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

Mamoru's heart stopped.
Mamoru groaned mentally as Usagi trudged out of the morque. he prayed.
The raven haired man stepped away from the car in a defeated manner. He wanted to go in
with her! But noooooooo, she had to go by herself, she had to be the first to know! Like MAMORU
could tell who her rapist was!
"Usa...?" he croaked.
Usagi was silent. Silent as she brushed past him. Silent as she slipped into the car.
Silent as she mouthed the word 'drive.'
So Mamoru did.
Unfortunately, the morque was an hour's drive away. That gave Mamoru enough time to become
thoroughly uncomfortable with the deafening silence.
"Usako?" Mamoru shifted nervous eyes to his love at the red light. "Was it...?"
Usagi slowly turned to him. Her gaze was eery, as if she wasn't actually staring at him,
but right through him.
She nodded.
Mamoru's stomach lurched.
"It was him... I vaguely remembered his face before..." She paused, looking away. "But it
was most deffinately him..."
Mamoru pulled over. "Are you OK...?"
Usagi stared at him blankly.
"I'm free."
