------ Chapter 7 ~ Winning Usagi's Love ------
"I'm so glad that you're finally coming back home. After a month in the hospital, it must be a relief to leave. Don't you think, Usagi?" Ikuko was helping her daughter get dressed.
"Hai. Even though I don't remember anything. But I promise I'll try to do all I can to get my memories back." Ikuko smiled at her. Usagi stood up and took a look at herself in the mirror. Her hair was completely down. She wore a short, pink dress. It had short sleeves and a `v' neck. She grabbed a pink ribbon on the bed and tied her hair back in a ponytail. The door opened suddenly. Usagi and Ikuko turned to see who it was.
"Mamoru-chan!" Usagi ran to him and hugged him.
"Usagi. I'm glad I got here before you left." She looked up at him and smiled. Then she remembered about her mother. She let go of Mamoru and turned to her.
"Shall we go?" she asked.
"Of course." replied Ikuko. Usagi turned to face Mamoru again.
~~~~~~~~~~
Kenji was preparing the car outside. He saw his daughter and wife coming so he went over to them. Then... he saw that a young man was with them. Actually, he was with Usagi. `Who is he?'
"Oh, Kenji." Ikuko hadn't noticed him in front of them. She noticed that he was staring at Mamoru. He didn't seem to like him, and just stared at him. Not a very friendly stare either.
"Usagi." Kenji interrupted them. "Who is that young man? He better not be your boyfriend." Mamoru was starting to worry... for himself.
"M-my name is Chiba Mamoru." He said slowly. Worried that he would upset Kenji more with anything he said.
"Just what is your relationship with my daughter, Chiba!?" Now Mamoru was starting to sweat.
"W-we're just f-friends."
"Just friends, huh?"
"Hai."
"Tell me, Chiba. Do you go to school? Are you planning on getting a career? Do your parents approve of this? Exactly how old ARE you?" Kenji didn't give Mamoru a chance to answer between questions.
"Kenji! Stop torturing Mamoru!" Ikuko ordered.
"That's alright." Mamoru cleared his throat and began to answer Kenji's questions. "I DO go to school, and I work as well. I AM planning to get a career. My parents can't approve of anything. And I'm twenty-one."
"And exactly why can't your parents approve of anything?"
"Because... they're dead." When Mamoru said that, Kenji's expression changed.
"I-I'm sorry, son."
"Don't be. It wasn't your fault."
"Well, I'm sorry for asking all those questions."
"That's alright, sir. You don't have to apologize. I understand that you should be concerned about your daughter." He turned to look at Usagi and smiled at her. And, of course, Kenji noticed how he looked at her. Yet, this time he didn't get mad.
"What do you say you come over for dinner, Mamoru-san?" Kenji suggested.
"Good idea, Kenji!"
"Alright then. What time should I go?"
"Why don't you come with us now?" suggested Usagi.
"I don't know if your father will approve?" he whispered to her.
"Don't worry, Mamoru-san." Kanji suddenly said. Apparently he heard what Mamoru told Usagi. "You can come now, if you'd like."
"Well...okay."
There was a figure watching them from a distance. It was Alan. `I'll get rid of you, Mamoru. Then Usagi will be all mine. You'll see.' He turned and walked away without anyone noticing him.
~~~~~~~~~~
"That was delicious, Tsukino-san."
"I'm glad you liked it, Mamoru-san. Would you like some more?" Ikuko said while smiling.
"Iie, arigato." He turned to Usagi who was sitting beside him. `She's become fond of me. Good. This will make it easier for me to win her love.' Usagi felt his glare on her and turned to look back at him. They both smiled at each other.
"Oi, Usagi!" Shingo was seeing the way that they looked at each other. "Oi, Usagi!" he repeated. But still she didn't answer. She was daydreaming. Daydreaming about Mamoru. Even though she had lost her memories, she still felt attracted to him. Her daydream was interrupted when Mamoru stood up from the table.
"Well, I've got to go. It's getting late."
"You're leaving already?" Usagi didn't really want him to go.
"It's getting late, Usagi." They walked to the door. He stopped and turned to face her. "I'll come by tomorrow if you'd like." He reached up with his hand and caressed her cheek. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Where am I?"
Usagi found herself in an endless room of some sort. Every way you turned, you couldn't see the walls. It was dark and cold. Suddenly, it got bright. Although you still couldn't see where the room ended.
"What is this place?"
"Usagi." Someone called her name, but she didn't know where it came from. "Usagi."
"Who's there?" Nobody answered.
"Usagi-hime." The voice sounded like it came from a man. 'It sounds familiar,' she thought. "Usagi-hime." This time the voice sounded like it came from behind her. "Usako."
She turned and found a tall figure of a man standing there.
"Mamoru?"
