Without You chapter 7
If I have to tell you that I don't own sailor moon. . . then don't waste my time please! ~*~*~*~*
Usagi gasped audibly before holding a hand to her mouth. "Ma. . . Mamoru . . ." Usagi said shakily, "Go. . . Gomen . . ."
Mamoru shook his head. "No Usa it's okay, it happenend a long time ago. . .when I was five."
"Five?" Usagi gasped out in shock. Mamoru nodded. "Goodness Mamoru," Usagi said quietly then paused waiting to see if Mamoru would continue on his own. Seeing that he was rather quiet about it, Usagi wondered if she should inquire further. 'It is his business,' Usagi thought to herself, 'but I might not get another chance to ask. . ." Deciding she may never get another chance, Usagi took a deep breath and said, "M. . .Mamoru. . .what happened?"
Mamoru looked at Usagi blankly before sighing and taking a deep breath. "My parents used to fight a lot when I was younger. When it got real bad, my parents and I would take a long drive around and when we finished everything would be settled down and better. . .except for this one night. . ."
~*~*~*~*FLASHBACK!*~*~*~*~
i5 year old Mamoru sat with his knees hugged to his chest alone in the dark. The small child could hear his mother and father yelling about the usual petty things that Mamoru never understood./i
i"Never. . .time for Mamoru!" his mother screamed passionately. Mamoru raised his head to look at the light coming from underneath his closed bedroom door. Were they fighting about him? Why?/i
i "...try as hard as I can honey!" his father shot back, "but I have to make sure we get enough money so Mamoru can have a good life!" Their fight continued on and their screams got louder and louder. /i
iMamoru trembled from his position on the floor by his bed and started sobbing quietly into his arms. Slowly, Mamoru's sobbing grew louder, and did not go unheard by his parents who opened the bedroom door. /i
iThey took in the sight of Mamoru crying into his arms on the floor before his mother walked over to her son and crouched down. Slowly, she placed one of her slender arms around his shoulders and the other under his leg before hoising the young boy into her lap rocking him back and forth. "Oh my chibi-Mamoru what's wrong honey? Dry your eyes little one! You're fine!" /i
iMamoru clung to his mother grabbing onto her long floral dress and crying into her chest. Mamoru's father walked forward. /i
i "What's the matter son?" he asked Mamoru concerned. /i
iMamoru sniffled and looked up at his parents before wiping away the tears in his eyes. "Y...you and Mommy fight. . .'bout me?" he asked innocently. /i
iMamoru's mother laughed slightly. "Oh my Chibi-Mamoru, why would you think that?" /i
i "B...b'cause you say my name." Mamoru said quietly. /i
iMamoru's parents looked guiltily at each other. "No Mamoru, it was not about you," his father said sighing, "it was about. . . .I have an idea! Let's go for a drive! That always puts all of us in a better mood no?" Mamoru's father changed the subject and Mamoru's Mother gave him a look of gratitude for keeping herself from having to explain to Mamoru what was going on, but then she looked skeptically at Mamoru's father. /i
i "But. . .it's really rainy outside. . .don't you think we should stay inside?" /i
i "We'll be fine! Let's go. . .would you like to go Mamoru?" Mamoru's father asked. He nodded excitedly. "C'mon! Let's go!" /i
iMamoru's family went out to the car and got inside. Mamoru sat in the backseat by himself smiling happily as Mamoru's mother got in the passenger side, his father in the driver's side and the family took off. /i
iMamoru's father drove them around the back roads out into the country side. His mother and father talked in the front seat laughing most of the time while Mamoru sat in the backseat listening. Slowly Mamoru closed his eyes. . .then snapped them open when he heard his mother scream. /i
iWhen Mamoru looked out the window, he saw 2 bright lights before his father swerved the car into the guardrail on the right side of the road. He felt like he was falling and falling. . .slowly. The next thing Mamoru remembered was darkness. . . /i
~*~*~*~*END FLASHBACK!*~*~*~*~
". . .Then," Mamoru finished sounding sad, "I woke up in the hospital and could only remember vague things about my life. . .I don't even. . .know if my real name is Mamoru or not. . ."
Usagi had tears running down her cheeks. "Oh Mamoru-chan," Usagi said as she took him into her arms, "I am SO sorry!"
Mamoru accepted the embrace. "It's really okay Usa," Mamoru whispered trying to hold back his tears.
"So. . .where did you live?" Usagi asked carefully.
"A . . . an orphanage," Mamoru whispered. Usagi looked down at her friend.
"What about your family? Didn't you have a distant Aunt or Granparents or something?" Mamoru shook his head.
"I couldn't remember and the hospital coulnd't find anyone. . .*shuddering gasp* so I lived in the orphanage until I could get a job."
Usagi shook her head and hugged Mamoru tighter. "That's terrible Mamoru-chan. . .was it lonely?"
"Very much so," Mamoru said quietly recalling some of the earlier days at the orphanage. Usagi watched Mamoru concerned and held him tightly to herself.
"Well Mamoru," she said sweetly trying to lighten the mood, "from now on you're never gonna be lonely! Know why?"
Mamoru smiled at her enthusiasm. "No Usagi, why?"
Usagi grinned. "Because I'm going to be around to annoy you 24/7." Mamoru laughed and brought one of Usagi's hands up to his mouth and kissed it. It was a simple gesture, but it caused Usagi to blush.
"You," he said pausing to smile, "Would NEVER annoy me Usako." Usagi looked at who she thought was her enemy in shock. The shocked look melted away into a look of pure happiness and she smiled. Then Usagi laughed softly.
"What?" Mamoru asked also laughing.
"You called me Usako. . ." she trailed off as Mamoru blushed.
"So?" he muttered.
"Don't be offended Mamoru, I just think it's a bit ironic don't you?"
Before Mamoru could answer they heard a lot of commotion from upstairs. Usagi didn't even realize she was trembling until she felt Mamoru tremble as well.
"Scared?" she asked Mamoru. Mamoru nodded.
"Shitless." He whispered. Mamoru gripped Usagi's hand and they stayed like that for awhile until the two fell asleep right next to each other in the dark room.
