Standard Disclaimer but I own Kent and Dakota! ;) Onto the story!



Usagi slowly brushed Mamoru's thick bangs from his perspiring forehead in a soothing way as Mamoru stirred troubled in his sleep. Usagi just sat boredly as Mamoru started to thrash wildly in her lap.

Coming out of her trance, Usagi looked down at the troubled face of Mamoru. Mamoru tossed more violently softly moaning, "No.stop.*gasp* please I beg you.."

Usagi's brow creased as she struggled to catch what Mamoru was saying. "You're..no...*gasp*.stop *groan* stop please! STOP..***STOP***!!!!!" Mamoru cried out getting louder and louder as tears slid from his closed eyelids. This caused Usagi concern.

Slowly Usagi began to rock Mamoru back and forth in her lap. Usagi began to hum a beautiful melody softly still brushing the bangs from Mamoru's forehead gently.

As Usagi finished her melody, Mamoru's cries slowed and ceased along with his tears. Mamoru slept more peacefully.

Usagi smiled fondly onto Mamoru's face. 'He looks just like Shingo used to when Shingo was little.'

Usagi giggled to herself as the door banged open. Usagi jumped startled as Dakota and Kent walked in. For a moment, the pair looked on Usagi and Mamoru's forms, then Kent stalked toward the pair.

Usagi kept one hand on Mamoru's forehead, while the other lay on his chest. Usagi looked defiantly at the approaching man as Kent reached her side. Kent reached down and grabbed Usagi by her arm and pulled Usagi from underneath Mamoru roughly then restraining her hands behind her while pulling another arm around her neck.

Mamoru woke opened his yees, and turned his pale bruised face towards Kent and Usagi, the first who was sneering and the latter who was looking at him like a deer caught in headlights.

Mamoru then looked to Dakota's face who ordered harshly, "Get up." Mamoru attempted to comply, and got halfway to a sitting position using his elbows, before falling back to his back moaning in pain.

Dakota walked forward and kicked Mamoru in the left side of his ribs before ordering again, "I said, 'get up'." Mamoru screamed in pain as Dakota's foot connected with his already bruised ribs. Mamoru fell to his stomach with a grunt of pain.

"MAMORU!" Usagi screamed out to him fearfully, struggling to get to Mamoru's aid against Kent. Kent struggled to contain the blonde beauty watching in satisfaction as Mamoru hissed and panted.

Mamoru slowly rose to his hands and knees gasping before Dakota kicked him again. Mamoru just grunted this time and fell to his back holding his chest and gasping.

"STOP! PLEASE!" Usagi cried out again struggling. Dakota ignored Usagi and kicked Mamoru's face making Mamoru roll a few feet seeing stars.

Usagi struggled again and watched as Dakota strode to Kent and herself pulling out his gun.

Dakota looked at Mamoru's still form. "Mamoru," He barked crisply. Mamoru's head slowly rose to look Dakota in the eye. "Tsk Tsk Mamoru," Dakota said mockingly, "you're even too weak to get up and save Usagi." Dakota said pointing the gun at Usagi.

Usagi took in a sharp breath at seeing the gun lowered at herself. Mamoru looked at Usagi's terrified face then back to Dakota. "Don't . . ." he begged weakly.

"Well Mamoru," Dakota said while tracing the gun from Usagi's temple down her cheek while the blonde girl winced and shrank back, "all you have to do is get up." Dakota trailed the gun down Usagi's throat, down her chest and to her heart before pulling the gun underneath Usagi's chin forcing her chin to rise.

Usagi let out a fearful choked sob. Dakota grinned at her discomfort before striking Usagi across her left eye. Usagi cried out in pain as her head was struck to her right. Usagi saw stars in her eyes as her legs gave out. Kent caught her and held her up.

Mamoru's eyes shot open as Usagi was struck and he refused to let Usagi leave his gaze until Dakota spoke. "Mamoru," Dakota said dangerously as he leaned down to Mamoru grabbing a handful of Mamoru's dark hair. Mamoru gasped. "I'll ask you ONE more time and if you don't comply, Usagi will die..Get . Up ."

Mamoru nodded and gathered his arms underneath him and lifted his upper body to a kneeling position running on adrenaline. Using the wall and Usagi's trembling frame as support and motivation, Mamoru pulled himself into a painted, hunched over standing position panting painfully.

Usagi trembled visibly although she could see clearly now. Mamoru smiled reassuringly at her and Usagi gave him a wavering smile back.

"Right then," Dakota nodded to Mamoru, "follow me." Dakota turned and left the room. Kent and Usagi started to follow. Mamoru stood appalled because he knew he could not walk after them. Then, locking his shaking legs and using the wall, Mamoru took a small step before collapsing to one knee moaning in pain.

Usagi saw this action out of the corner of her eye and begged, "Pl. . .please . . .he's too weak to walk by himself now...let me help him?"

Dakota looked at her wearily before saying, "Fine, but if you two try anything funny, then I'll slowly kill the both of you.

Usagi nodded and Kent let her go. Usagi flew around Kent and ran to Mamoru's side. Mamoru was on one knee still and clutching his ribs. Mamoru looked up timidly. Usagi knelt down. "Can I help you please Mamoru?" she inquired quietly.

Mamoru hesitated not wanting to look weak, but then knew he'd die if he couldn't walk and knew also he would be putting Usagi in danger as well so he nodded.

Usagi slipped on arm carefully around Mamoru's waist before pulling Mamoru's other arm over her slender shoulders grasping his wrist. Slowly, the pair stood and Mamoru leaned heavily on Usagi.

The pair limped out to the same black car that had brought Usagi into this hell. Opening one of the back doors, Dakota motioned with his gun for the pair to get in.

Usagi pulled Mamoru's arm from around her shoulders before guiding his battered body into the car. Then Usagi climbed in after him laying his torso down in her lap. Usagi rested her small shaking wrists on his chest unintentionally gripping his chest tightly scared. Mamoru brought one hand up and squeezed Usagi's right hand reassuringly.

Dakota shut them in the car alone knowing the child safety locks were on, and started speaking to Kent in a conversation that the pair could not hear.

Usagi was so wrapped up in watching the two men that she didn't notice that Mamoru's hand had reached up and grazed the wound on her left eye that was bleeding terribly. Usagi hissed in pain and grabbed his hand quickly looking down at Mamoru.

"H. . . ho. . . how's your face?" he struggled out. Usagi smiled.

"I'll be fine Mamoru-chan." She said gently. "But how is your chest?"

"S. . .o. . .r. . .e. . ." Mamoru croaked.

Usagi winced as if in pain herself. "I know just rest and you'll be fine."

Mamoru laughed lightly causing him pain. Usagi winced again. 'It's almost as if I feel his pain,' Usagi thought getting a dizzy spell from her head.

"You o. . .kay Usagi?" Mamoru asked weakly.

Usagi looked at Mamoru smiling. "Fine," she replied, "just thinking."

Mamoru opened his mouth to question her further, however, Dakota and Kent opened the driver's side and passenger doors to the car. Dakota in the driver's seat and Kent in the passenger.

Dakota started down a desolate back road of the town. The drove for ten minutes before Mamoru asked timidly, "W. . .where are you taking us?"

Dakota peeked into his rearview mirror, looking at Usagi and Mamoru then back to the main road.

"Somewhere far away from here," Kent answered for Dakota, "so when your families call the police, we'll be out of the area.

Usagi paled at the mention of her family. 'They must be worried sick!' she thought 'Oh wait. . . they're on vacation until Sunday which is. . .4 days from now? But the school will alert my parents that I haven't been attending or Raye will call them.'

Mamoru looked at the floor sadly. Usagi had no idea about Mamoru's past and mistook the gesture as him missing his family. Usagi gave Mamoru a reassuring hug careful of his injuries.

~*~*~*~*

Usagi awoke to the sound of the door closing. Gently she shook Mamoru. "Mamoru-chan. . ." she whispered.

"Hmmm?" Mamoru asked as his eyelids fluttered open groggily.

"We're here Mamoru." Usagi said. Mamoru nodded and sat up slowly with Usagi's help.

Dakota opened up the door and pulled Usagi out with a startled cry from her lips. "Get out," Dakota ordered. Mamoru didn't need to be told twice and got out of the car slowly. Dakota turned curtly and walked toward what looked like a small house in a very desolate area. Kent grabbed Mamoru's arm and led him inside after Dakota and Usagi. Dakota led Usagi to a door that had stairs behind it.

'A basement. . .' Usagi thought, "typical." Usagi was walked down the stairs and released. Kent however, walked Mamoru down halfway before shoving him down the rest. Mamoru landed with a dull cry as he hit the floor. Usagi ran to him and pulled him to a side of the room away from the men as they left the room, leaving Usagi and Mamoru alone in darkness.
