Chapter 9
"Wake up."
He grumbled and turned in his bed, yet as much as he tried, the insisting voice kept pestering him. Finally, he awoke to the feel of soft, warm lips against his. Without opening his eyes, he wrapped his arms around his alarm clock. He felt her deepen the kiss something to which he easily responded to. He pulled away smiling and felt her lay on his chest, he then opened his eyes. When he saw the top of her head his smile quickly disappeared, to be replaced with a frown. Since when did Usagi have medium length dirty blond hair?
**************************************
Lying on his chest, she caressed his sides softly. She smiled broadly when she felt his body stiffen. Looking up slowly, she met his confused dark blue eyes with her smug blue-green ones. She traced a finger along his jaw, enjoying the way he flinched.
"It's about time you woke up Mamaru," she said sweetly, "but considering what happened last night, I understand completely."
She watched his emotions play across his face: confusion, understanding and anger.
"I would never have done such a thing with the likes of you," he responded in a harsh whisper.
"Ah, Mamaru, but you did, and never once did you hesitate about what you were doing, either."
He pushed her away and got up from the bed. He looked around for the first time since he woke up. They were in his bedroom and he saw clothes lying on the floor, which was when he first noticed that they were both naked. Mamaru quickly got dressed and turned to look at her.
"Who are you?" he asked threateningly, "but more importantly, where is Usagi?"
She stretched languidly on the bed before she got up, and paused for a moment in all her naked glory before she dressed, all the while humming to herself. Once she was done, she glanced at him before walking towards his small kitchen.
Mamaru followed her gritting his teeth as he saw her pour herself a bowl of his cereal.
"Who are you and where is Usagi?"
"My name is of no importance. Besides, I don't have one," she said chuckling.
She began eating again while Mamaru glared at her.
"Why don't you call me," she paused, "Anne."
"Fine then, Anne," Mamaru growled, "Where is Usagi?"
"Gone," she said simply.
She poured herself some more cereal and moved to the living room, where she sat and turned on the television. Mamaru rounded the sofa in which she was sitting in. He placed both hands next to her shoulders and leaned in.
"What do you mean gone?" he asked menacingly eyes flashing, "Answer me."
Lilith fidgeted ever so slightly under her stare but managed to compose herself without him noticing.
"Well, if you should know," Anne began, "she's dead."
His face contorted with fear and disbelief at her revelation.
"You're lying."
"I'm not, but do you want to hear the real kicker?"
All he could do was nod numbly.
"You were the main cause in her tragic end."
