DISCLAIMER: Today I have generously loaned my Mamo-Chan to Siggy…happy birthday dear! ^_^ …………too bad it's only a picture, after all, the real Mamo-Chan belongs to Naoko-hime, as do all her other wonderful characters! (Of course, all the additional characters belong to me, as does this story!...and if you can't tell the 'real' characters from my own, then I feel so incredibly sorry for you!)
Today is my buddy Siggy's Birthday! Sigs, I'm dedicating this chapter to you! I even put it out today just for you! (Yes, you SHOULD feel special…but you still can't have my Tamahome…..OR myMamo-Chan!!! OR NAKAGO! No, bad girl! Don't even think of him! Bad, bad! Stick to the dreamy heroes, not the dastardly villains! ::grin:: )
To anyone who wants to read Siggy's wonderful story, you can find it on my webpage here: www.angelfire.com/anime3/rose/Moonie1Fanfics.html
It is soooooo cute! And then email her to write more ASAP!!! : D
I'd like to thank all of the wonderful people who are posting my story on their sites, who have emailed me, and who have reviewed me (BonnieChan) on Fanfiction.net. I'd also like to thank all the wonderful authors whose stories will soon be in my archives…hopefully by the end of the month!
Questions, comments? Email me! Hunniebunny@aol.com…and whether you liked it or hated it, could you pretty please send me feedback? I'm majoring in writing, and any type of feedback helps! Constructive criticism, a note telling me if it was good, or even bad..whatever! I'd really appreciate it!

A Place To Call Home
Part Four
"Chiba Mamoru?"
Mamoru quickly stood up and shook hands with the white-haired doctor that had just walked into the waiting room.
"How is my grandfather, Dr. Kismet? Will he be alright?"
"It seems that he had a stroke, Mamoru. A sad look entered his eyes, but was quickly vanquished. "We took a cat-scan and found a tumor growing in his brain."
"What?"
"We're going to have to keep him here for a while under observation."
"Can I see him?"
"Not tonight. He is in intensive care right now, and visiting hours are over for the day." He held up a hand to stop Mamoru's protests. "There's nothing you can do to help him tonight anyway. Go home and get some rest-You'll need it if you're going to be haunting this place all day tomorrow." He smiled gently. "You can come back at 9 a.m. tomorrow, alright?"
Mamoru nodded once in defeat. "Thank you for helping him, doctor. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Goodnight, Mamoru."
They shook hands once more, then Mamoru turned and slowly left the hospital. Instead of heading home, however, he headed towards the lake at Juuban Park, where he sat on the edge of the dock, skimming the water with the tip of his shoes, his eyes trained unseeingly on the rising moon as his mind lost itself in memories.
"Mamoru, what's wrong?"
Mamoru started as his concentration was broken, and he glared up at the girl who had dared to interrupt his thoughts. "What do you want, Usagi?" He spoke harshly, using her as a vessel to unleash his pent-up anger.
She huffed indignantly. "I just wanted to know if you were all right---not that you care or anything. In fact, I don't even know why I care! Especially after the way you made fun of me this morning! Why do I care?" She shook her head angrily. "You know what? I don't care at all, Mamoru, my brain just experienced a temporary case of insanity!" She scowled and spun around on the rickety dock.
"Usagi, wait."
She turned around slowly. "Why, so that you can harass me some more?"
Mamoru clenched his teeth in aggravation. "Never mind."
"No, you've intrigued me now. What is it that you wanted to say? Something must be wrong---you haven't called me Odango Atama once since I got here! What's wrong, Mamoru?"
"Nothing! Alright? I'm perfectly fine, and I don't need you to worry about me…Odango Atama."
Usagi's face flushed a bright red and she quickly stomped away.
Mamoru stared at her retreating back, but didn't feel any better than he had before she showed up.
He stared bitterly at the curled up paper that had fallen out of Usagi's book bag before reluctantly picking it up. "Hey, Usagi?"
Usagi stopped at the edge of the dock, but didn't turn around. "What do you want now, Mamoru?"
"You dropped something." He slowly stood up and headed to the end of the dock, where he handed the paper to Usagi, but not before inadvertently glimpsing the red writing scrawled across the top. "A 52%? You failed another test?" The anger inside Mamoru boiled up and over once more. "You know, you really have to straighten up your act…but what more can be expected from someone like you?"
Usagi narrowed her eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"Your type is so typical-you're not fooling me, you know, so you can drop the innocent act any time now."
Her eyes flashed angrily. And exactly what, pray tell, would you define as my type?
"Besides being the stereotypical blond-haired, blue-eyed girl? You're lazy and you don't try to succeed at anything. You always have people fawning all over you and you're too impulsive—you never have a plan in life. How's that for starters?"
She shrugged her shoulders in defeat. "You're absolutely right. You know me too well, Mamoru." She looked up into his cerulean eyes and took a step forwards, her eyes becoming steel. "You know, Mamoru, two can play at this game. I'm not the only one in the world who can be figured out in a minute. You also fit a stereotype-you're the dark, mysterious figure, what with your ebony hair and your dark blue eyes. You keep everything bottled up inside, and you never let anything faze you out. You're programmed to be perfect at whatever you do-you will never settle for 99% or less. You have no true close friends, for your personality is too cold, and you shun people away from you. I mean, you even close out Motoki half the time, and he's supposed to be your best friend! It's like you don't want to open yourself up and share what's inside with the rest of the world---you'd rather keep it all locked up inside of you, throwing away the key to a place where nobody can reach. You have your whole life planned out, and, sadly, you're going to follow that plan for the rest of your life, and you'll never do anything spur-of-the-moment because you're too afraid of what might happen." She turned on her heel and stomped angrily through the mud and up the pathway that led out of the park, leaving a befuddled Mamoru staring blindly after her retreating back.
