My prince?
She was just about to lie down on the couch when she heard a knock at the door. "Just a minute" she yelled. She worked her way to the door as fast as she could she opened the door and saw. "Oh hey Tai" She said in a withdrawn voice. "Hey Agi" He said in a pleasant tone. "You aren't happy to see me?" he said casually. "No it's not that." "To what do I owe the pleasure?" "I was worried about you. You looked really zapped when I saw you last." "Uh yeah I'm fine" she replied in a shaky voice.

Sensing the tone in her voice, he grabbed her and gave her a big hug. Just holding her in his arms. She smiled at him lightly but tried to escape his tight grasp.

It was then for the first time she thought of fear. She realized she didn't love him she didn't even like him she feared and hated him. And she did something she's never done before. She drew in a breath and yelled, "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

But the spurt of defiance was crushed with a strong smack in the face. She could feel her skin changing color. She gasped hard in pain. Tears poring out of her eyes. She tried to get free when he grabbed her back, and he wasn't even trying to hide his anger from her.

He threw her down on the floor and was standing over her until he felt a blow from behind him; he turned around and saw two men behind one had dark hair blazing blue eyes and a look to kill on his face, directed at Tai. The other tall short blonde hair also had fury in his eyes. Tai felt caged and just started striking at random but Mamoru grabbed his arms. While doing that Motoki ran over to Usagi. Grabbing the sobbing girl in his arms. He held her tight and just kept repeating "I'm sorry Usa. I should have helped you when what I thought was only speculation."

The bandaged side of Usagi's face was against him and she was weeping profusely. Since the whole ordeal started her eyes were to protect her from seeing what she thought was going to happen. She opened them and looked up at Motoki and blinked a few a times. The she smiled at him as he wiped a tear from his cheek. "I'm sorry Usagi." Usagi still not fully aware of what has happened looks around. And see Mamoru looking at her intently. What are you looking at me like that for? He chokes out "Are you ok" She looks at him confusingly, "What happened." With one word all that has happened came back to her. "Well Tai..." he was stopped by Usagi's intense crying. Mamoru's heart is reaching out for her. Mamoru forgets Motoki's even there and gently grabs Usagi bringing her into his arms. Motoki looked at Mamoru and said he was going to the arcade. Mamoru nodded while still holding Usa. Usagi wasn't sure who she was with but she knew she felt safe and protected. Mamoru was holding her close as he lightly rested his cheek on Usagi fragile forehead. She looked up at the familiar hazy figure. Mamoru she whispered. As he heard her say his name he couldn't control himself anymore, tears lightly streamed from his eyes and he hugged her. "I'm sorry I'm so weak that I couldn't have waited for to come. For my prince to save me. For letting her self be abused. She mumbled breaking into tears again.

Mamoru carefully placed a hand on her face she calmed down and for the moment was only sniffling and her eyes once again closed. He gently placed his other hand under poor Usagi and picked her up. He carried her to the couch and sat down; sitting Usagi on his lap he placed her head against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. He rocked her in his arms and whispered to her. "usa-ko I need to tell you a secret, I think I could fall in love with you. I'm so, so sorry I didn't help you when I had a hunch you were in need. I care deeply for you. I just never knew how to tell you." He lets out a sigh when he notices that mirror blue eyes are looking directly into his.

Usagi slowly opens her mirror blue eyes and notices she's looking into intense stormy blue eyes. Mamoru sighed and hugged her once more "Usa-ko" She blushed at his words. "I don't think you're weak." He stammered. "To be in that relationship you had to be strong, and to have self-confidence took even more strength." When she heard that, her eyes widened her whole demeanor sharpened. She kind of fell off of his lap and nudged back to the end of the couch, putting her legs up and holding them with her arms, and lowered her gaze. She rocked herself before she started speaking. "Chiba Mamoru I'm going talk, don't react, don't say a word just listen." She had a small smile of triumph that made Mamoru smile. Noticing the smile she blushed as she began to talk..

I know this is kind of short but I hope you liked it. I hope to hear what you think.
