Mamoru
Mamoru was sitting at the counter talking to Motoki. Motoki could tell that something was disturbing him. "What's bothering you Mamoru?" "Nothing." Then a young girl came over and ordered a soda. "Hi my names Kino Makoto I just moved her to live with some friends." "May I ask whom you are?" she asked almost embarrassed. "My names Furuhata Motoki, and this is my friend Chiba Mamoru, " He said pointing to his friend who was just getting up. Motoki kept talking to Makoto.
Mamoru noticed that Tai just walked into the arcade. "Konnichi'wa
Tai just huffed out of the building. As that happened Usagi walked in. Mamoru noticed her say hi to Tai as he stormed out, and the hurt look on her face when he ignored her. She was going to sit on a stool by the counter. So Mamoru went back to his seat and talked with Motoki. He noticed she tried to lie her head down on the counter trying to get comfortable but being unsuccessful.
Her friend Minako came up from behind her and put her hand on Usa-ko's shoulder. He kind of laughed when she jumped. Minako and Usa-ko started talking and Matoki, and Mamoru joined in. Mamoru decided to be daring he asked her if they could see her face. She said that they could if Mamoru said her name. 'OK, that's weird but ok.' "Od.. Usagi" He spoke confidently. And as he said that she removed her bandage. She winced a few times from the pain of the bandage pulling her skin, which made Mamoru's heart sink. His face clearly showed what he was thinking, 'Poor Usagi.' Mamoru could tell that she felt uncomfortable with us starring at her. Mamoru carefully put his hand on her face and apologized for what he said earlier, "Odango atama I'm sorry I made a joke about you when you were in pain." She looked at poor Mamoru; he knew she felt uneasy about him touching her, and his apology. "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's heart was sinking faster and faster. 'She hates me she thought.' Feeling heart broken and upset he walked away. But as he did he heard a weak voice saying his name. He turned and looked at Usa-ko. "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.
He was going to leave for home when heard a weak voice gasp "Owww". He wanted to watch and make sure they'd be safe so he sat down and waited for them to leave. He finally decided to go see how they were doing ok. He walked out of the door, and saw Minako trying to keep hold of Usa-ko. Mamoru ran up to them and grabbed Usa. He walked with Minako carrying a dazed Usa all the way home, in silence till Usa started talking. After she was done Mamoru and Minako just kind of laughed. She started asking Minako questions. Then she stared at Mamoru and closed her returning to a peaceful sleep.
Then in no time they'd arrived at Usagi's house. Minako went and knocked on the door and greeted her mom. When her mom noticed Mamoru with her daughter all was pointed towards him her questions, expressions. Mamoru nervously explained everything. And her mom asked him if he could take her up to her room. He agreed and Minako showed him up to her room. When they went in they, he went over to her bed and gently laid her down, covering hr gently with her blanket. He put his hand on her cheek before wishing her a good night. They then left her and headed down stairs, to see her mom waiting by the door. She thanked us then her and Minako talked for a moment.
Then we left. It was silent till Minako said "She's so sweet; she has a big heart and loves everyone. I couldn't deal if anything ever happened to her." Mamoru was silently agreeing with everything she was saying. 'Except Usagi doesn't like me.' She's been through a lot in her life. Or lack of one if you'd want to say. I don't know what it would be like if it weren't for her. She just needs major reconstruction on her confidence. Minako continued. Her past had some big affects on her now. But she really is a lovely person. "Mamoru" She said her voice filled with finality. "I can guarantee you she didn't mean what she said, At least the way you took it." She sighed. "Trust me she would never willingly hurt you." I can sense what she's fighting with.
"Huh? 'What does she mean by that?' Mamoru thought to himself. Anyway, "how long have you two been friends?" Thinking "Seems like our whole life, but only since I moved here last year." "How long have you two known each other" she returned. "I've seen her around but we actually met for the first time a year or two ago. Minako broke in, "According to Usa 'I'm her only friend not counting her boyfriend." "Do you know if he's ever hurt her?" Fear of embarrassment out of his mind only concern left. "I don't know, but he does make fun of her sometimes."
"Hai, I know." Mamoru said as he clenched his fists tightly together. "You do" Minako replied in shock. "Hai, a few days ago I was going into the arcade and we bumped into each other, she in turn fell on the ground and I heard him say "Agi, you can't even walk through a door right." That jerk Minako seethed. "Also earlier this morning it looked like he was forcing a kiss on her, and he was looking at me as he squeezed her. I turned around and when I looked back at them he pushed her and was walking away. I ran and caught her before she fell. And I lifted her up, she never even looked at me she just covered her face and ran away." Hmmm. Well at least you know why she didn't look at you. She didn't want you to see her like that. After I saw Usa-ko bandaged he came up to her and squeezed her face hard.
"Why would she be with someone like him?" Minako interrupted. " Usa has always felt that everyone hates her. She'd never even had a guy talk to her seriously. She's had guys pretend that they liked her just to laugh at her. And guys like, never mind." She stopped herself. "Like what he inquired?" "I can't say." "Well I have to get going home, I live this way. Bye Mamoru."
Didn't even notice, but managed to say "bye." Mamoru couldn't help but feel kindness towards Usagi. "You don't like a 17 yr. Old girl no matter how cut she is." He yelled to himself.
Mamoru returned to the arcade to see Motoki.
"Hey Motoki, how are?" "I'm good where have you been?" "I helped Minako take Usagi home. She wouldn't of made it." "That's good your'e looking out for her I know you two don't always get along." "Yea, actually Motoki I have to get going home. So I'll se ya." "Ok bye Mamoru, wait there was something I wanted to ask you. I wanted to go see Usagi tomorrow after school I wanted to know if you wanted to come?" "Why?" Slightly blushing Motoki replies "I have my reasons." "Well, I'm busy tomorrow afternoon till the party, but if you want I'll go early around 8.30-9.o'clock." "She'll be in school." "No her mom's letting her stay home tomorrow and get some rest." "That's great we can surprise her tomorrow morning." "Bye Mamoru."
