Usagi
Usagi continued on her way seemingly unaffected by what had taken place through out her day or her confusing thoughts of an unknown prince. Then in no time she was in front of a big midnight blue building with silver writing. Odiba Department Store. She pushed on the big wooden doors. Letting the scents of the perfumes and colognes and the clothes overtake her. She snaps put of her daze when a man who looked in his mid 30's asked if he could help her. She smiled and politely and asked where Ms. Tsukino can be found?" He was equally polite" Hai, she can be found in back there" pointing at two metal doors. "Thank-you" as she skipped off in the direction of the two doors.

She paused a little before putting her hand on the door. As she did the door opened causing Usagi to jump back. When a stunned Usagi looked up she saw her moms shocked she was covering her mouth in shock at what her dear daughter looked like. "Da-daijai bu?" She stammered. "Daijai" her Usa replied sweetly. She ran to her daughter giving her the biggest hug. Usagi was surprised. Her mother wasn't always affectionate. Her mom reluctantly let her go. "Oh mom can I go to the arcade for just a little bit? I told Minako I'd meet her and tell her some things." "If you're careful" she said full of concern. "I will be I'll go home right after." "Thank you mom. I love you. Bye." And Usagi limped out of the building and walked towards the arcade.

Ten Minutes Later

Usagi realized it was 2.55 she still had at least 10 minutes till Minako would be here. So she decided to go inside and wait at the counter for her. As she stepped in Tai huffed out not even seeming to notice her. "Hi Tai..." her words fell on deaf ears. She continued to go to the counter and sit. And relax for the first time all day. She just collapsed laying her heavy head on the table feeling pain the whole time. She can't rest comfortable, then she felt a hand touch her shoulder. She jumped up in reaction to it.

"wow chill girl" a comforting voice said. "Oh hi Minako. How was school?" "Oh yeah why weren't you there for the rest of the day I was in pain and my mom let me come home. But I told her I had to meet you so she let me come I just have to go right home." "That's cool. Can I ask what happened?" She started "I was really late for school this morning. So I ran out of the house at a break neck speed when a ball rolled in front of me I didn't see it in time and I tripped over it sliding on the ground a foot or two. I was dizzy and I hurt. When I felt my head my hand was wet but I didn't know right away it was bloody because I couldn't see clearly." Then she sat up looking at her dear friend. Tears now showing in her eyes "It hurts." Minako felling sorry for her friend gave her a big hug. Usagi didn't notice but Mamoru and Motoki were standing by them.

She sat up noticing them looking at her blushing. "Odango Atama" Mamoru spoke "can I ask you a favor?" "Depends on what." She replied a small smile escaping her lips. "Can we see your face?" A little embarrassed at the request she touches her cheek and winces. Making Mamoru's heart break. "I will if you say my name."
She firmly stated. "Od-" Mamoru started. "My real name" Usagi interrupted. "Usagi" Mamoru said confidently. Hearing him say her name made her heart flutter. "Fine then." She pulled the adhesive from her skin, Wincing form pain with every tug. She finally got the whole thing off. When she pulled it away from he face she looked at the small group, their eyes wide in disbelief. She looked at Mamoru first she could see compassion, anger, and pain in his eyes. She said looking at him it doesn't feel as bad as it looks. Almost as if reading his thoughts. Her skin was a bright red combination of blood and soreness. It was no longer smooth and vibrant, But rough and pale. In Mikanko and Motoki's stares she say disbelief how could one little fall do so much? In Motoki's I saw more I saw pity and regret, seeing those confused me. She now felt uncomfortable under their intent stare. She started to put the bandage back on, when was stopped by Mamoru's hand touching her face gently. When he touched her it didn't hurt, she felt safe, warm. He looked into her eyes "Odango atama I'm sorry I made a joke about you when you were in pain.

Usagi's heart was in her throat. 'But how could he change so quickly towards me. Just yesterday he made fun of me. And why is today different?' "Yea sure" she finally replied. "Mamoru you've been teasing me since before we know each other, why would you decide to day to me nice to me just because you made one stupid remark and I was really in pain." She sighs deeply. "I accept your apology she muttered but I don't believe it" she muttered. Mamoru grabbed his hand away from her face a crushing look on her face. He started to walk away when he heard her "Mamoru I'm incredibly sorry for telling you all that. I've been stressed and now I'm in pain." He just turned and walked away. Tears swelled in her eyes but she blinked them away.

"Minako I have to go it's getting late, my visions getting foggy, and I don't want hurt my self or anyone else like I just did." As she rose to her feet she quickly fell. "Owww" Mamoru heard her cry out and decided to stick around and see if she needed help. So he sat down at a both besides the door. "Minako can you help me home please? I would be really be appreciative." "I'm not as strong as I thought my legs are to tired I guess. I had to run a lot today I had to run to school then after my injury I had to run home to well never mind. "Sure, Just don't go off one me like you did to poor Mamoru" "I'm really sorry it's not him exactly. Never mind" ' why did I have to let him get to me so much. I swore I saw compassion and caring in his stormy blue eyes for me. I guess I was wrong.' She thought sadly.

Usagi used to stools to help her gain balance before she took hold of Minako's arm. Grabbing on to Minako's arm they 're on their way to Usagi's house. They get about a block or two away from the arcade when Minako had to stop. But being tired herself she couldn't keep a good hold on Usagi, and she started to collapse again. When suddenly she was lifted off the ground. Minako was surprised to see Mamoru grab a hold of Usagi.
