There was a party that Usa went to and she planned on telling Mamoru she loved him but things didn't quite work out and, she ran out of the house. When we left everyone was looking for her but couldn't find Usa. But Mamoru had a feeling where she was.


Facing Love

Go away Mamoru she sobbed. You made yourself clear, and so did Tai. No one can love me. I'm either an object or just someone's cruel joke. She has her arms crossed in front of her chest and, She was rocking. What killed her is she actually let herself believe Mamoru's note.

"And the flowers were a nice touch" She stated sarcastically. "A little expensive I'd imagine." "Please Mamoru just leave before you say anything to me. You had your fun I fell for you now you can have a laugh with your friends."

Mamoru just stood there stunned. "I can't believe you." She looked up at him her tear drenched face in shock. I came looking for you doesn't that count for something with you. I sent you 28 roses, I poured my heart out to you in that note, and I protected you from Tai twice. I l- lo-l- love you.

She stopped rocking and stood perfectly still. Mamoru had turned to leave. Usagi slowly got up from where she was sitting and walked towards him as he walked away. Soon she was running towards him, she ran till she was right behind him.

"I know you don't want to let yourself like me. You think I'm too immature, I've been through too much and you'd feel like you were taking advantage of me. I'm very happy you came after me, besides Minako no one would even notice I'm gone." She sighed, "I loved the roses and, I really like you, which is why I tried to give you a rose tonight. To attempt to show you how I felt. But you didn't want to know, plus you were with that girl, so I ran away from you then, just like I always have. Because I've always really cared for you but I've only been Odango Atama to you, then suddenly after you find out my boyfriends physically, verbally, and sexually abusive. You decide you might like me. Or maybe I'm just a charity case to you. Well I don't need your pity." Tears flowed like rivers. After saying what she had to she took off running again.

But, Mamoru just walked off. Thinking about all she had just told him. It was almost all true. He stood there in silence thinking to himself. 'I want to protect her, but is she right, is she worth all the trouble she causes.' 'But it's not her fault she didn't bring this on me I did when I first got involved.' A part of him said. 'But you gave her 28 roses' another part of him retorted. 'Ya but you call her Odango Atama.' The other half reprised. 'You told her you loved her and wrote her a declaration of love.' But then the other side 'At the party you hurt her and made her think you could care less.

It was decided Mamoru loved Usako and he'd fight to get her back. Or just get her which ever it would be if you never had them, anyway. "I LOVE YOU USAKO" I hope you hear me he yelled. In a confidant and unwavering voice. "I'm not giving up till you forgive me and love me again I know you did!" He yelled again.

He ran back in the direction that she had went in and noticed a girl curled up on the bench. He backed up and explored her closer she was weeping quietly. He gentle sat down next to the girl and put his arms around her. She felt Mamoru's strong arms around her, she looked up and through blurred eyes she saw stormy eyes looking down at her.

She tried to get up and leave. But his strong arms held her in place. She was looking away as to not make contact with his tortured blue eyes. She didn't want to see the truth, admit that she might possibly be in love with this handsome, intelligent, funny older man. He was finding her unwillingness to cooperate amusing. He could sense what she was fighting with. Now he knew what Minako meant. 'She must of known that Usako had feelings for me.' He thought to him self.

Mamoru finally took action he grabbed her chin and looked her in the eyes. There was nothing she could do now. She was staring into his stormy blue eyes and she couldn't turn away. He spoke softly to her. Usako, I really do love you. I've loved you since that first day you fell on me. I just thought you'd think I was to old for you. Being 3 years older than you are. All I've ever wanted to do is hold you in my arms and protect you. You've been everything to me. I want to keep you in my life Usa even if you don't love me. I hope you'll stay around.

Usa had since started crying again. (Trying to hold in tears, which was not her strong suit.) Mamoru wiped the new tears away and looked at his dear Usa. She looked back up into his eyes. Feeling, safe, warm, and loved. She smiled shyly then put her arms around Mamoru's neck and hugged him nearly knocking him off the bench. But he gladly returned the hug. Unwillingly he let her go.

"I'm so happy I've had strong feelings for you for such a long time. I figured you couldn't love or, have any feelings in that case for a 17-year-old girl." She sighed "I got your flowers and I thought I knew who It was, you knew my past and present and you're still here next to me." She took his hand in her tiny one and kissed in gentle. Then looked up at Mamoru with tears brimming her delicate eyes.

"We'd better go meet everyone." Mamoru interjected nervously. She nodded her head agreeable, and flashed him a sweet smile. They both stood up and started to walk out of the park. Usagi stopped stretched on her tip toes and put her arms around Mamoru's neck giving him an affectionate hug. Also placing a kiss on his cheek.

He lightly blushed and took Usako's hand. They walked together and enjoyed the complete silence of each other's company.

Until Usa asked where Minako would be? He said "everyone was going to back at the party after a half an hour, if they didn't find you. Everyone was out looking for you, not just Minako and myself, Ami, Rei, makoto, and Motoki."

"Oh, Wow" Usa said in an uneasy tone. "You don't have to worry Tai shouldn't bother you. If he tries to he'll have a problem with me." Usagi blushed and turned a bright shade of red. Seeing this Mamoru grabbed her in his arms and swung her around. She giggled which caused Mamoru to let out a big smile for the first time. They both continued walking. There arms intertwined with each other, not wanting to let go.

Eventually they ended up at the party. They walked in the building it seemed like the party was just really getting started, even though it had now been going on for a few hours. People were dancing everywhere, Having fun.

I know this chapter was kind of short but if I combined it with the last one it would be really long. Well I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
