1 Another Twisted Story
Note: All right, this is a spur of the moment fic, I wrote a lemon not too long ago to improve my lemon-writing skills and decided to write a fic to go along with it. Of course I'll post the lemon here as well, I'm not sure when though *shrugs* Anyway, I just kinda sat down and started writing. Please review or email me at pokahydee@hotmail.com it doesn't seem like many ppl really care bout my writing anymore so I may decide to completely disappear with the exception of a few close friends that have been with me since the beginning. I hate to punish ppl, but I really don't have the heart to write anymore since it doesn't seem like anyone even cares.
P.S. the Prologue is the lemon "Just Another Lemon" you don't HAVE to read it for a vital part of the plot, just know that something along those lines happened between Usagi and Yohji
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or Wei( so dun sue me. You won't get much, trust me. The characters do not belong to me but the plot and story does so steal that and I will PERSONALLY see that you are hunted down and tortured to the full extent of the law (and somewhat surpassing the law since you won't be able to walk anymore).

Chapter 3 - Hunters of Light
"Ohayo Omi-kun." Usagi said grimly as she saw Omi's eyes flutter open. She had been awake for some time now and had been waiting for Omi to wake up. She was afraid but she tried not to show it. She had Omi with her and that gave her a little bit of comfort even if she barely knew him.
"Nani?" He asked as he blinked his eyes into the dim light. He didn't recognize the voice at first from the massive wave of nausea that had fallen over him. "Where are we?" He questioned as the he slowly became more oriented with his surroundings. This was his mission… he had to find out where they were taking him… wait… why was Usagi here? "Nani? Usagi- san?!?" He nearly yelled. "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know where we are, Omi-kun. Some guys grabbed me and when I woke up, I was here." She said with a sweatdrop on her forehead. She squirmed as she tried to pull down on her mini-skirt. It was too short for the way she was forced to sit.
Oh man… this is bad… Omi thought to himself as he struggled against the ropes that held him the best he could. They were tighter than he thought. He didn't even have anything he could grab to cut through them. Why did Usagi have to be there? He cursed out loud as he felt the warm, sticky liquid on his wrists.
"Omi-kun, I'm scared." Usagi said as she tried to scoot toward him.
"Don't worry Usagi-san, you'll be fine. I promise." He said as a determined look crossed his face.
"Quiet!" A man yelled over the whispering hostages. "You are all prey for hunting." He declared calmly. He smirked as he heard the frightened gasps and cries.
"N… nani?" Usagi stammered brokenly. Her mouth dropped open and her face paled. She felt all the blood run out of her face and her heart fell into her stomach. "P… prey?"
"We'll let you go when we get to the forest. If you want to live, you'd better start running." The man said with a smirk. He held a shotgun in his hand and smirked down at the frightened people. Omi's muscled tightened and glared deeply at the man. Kuso! What am I supposed to do about Usagi?!? He asked himself inwardly.
"They're going to… hunt us?!?" Usagi cried in fear. Her eyes were the size of saucers and her skin was a pale white. "I'm too young to die!" She cried out loud as loud sobs escaped from her throat.
"Calm down, Usagi-san. I won't let anything happen to you." Omi said as he scooted as close to her as he could get with his arms tied. A man came over and cut the ropes on Usagi and then Omi. Omi wrapped his arms around her shaking shoulders and pulled her against him. He glared deeply at the man as he held the terrified bunny.
A few moments later the truck stopped and everyone was forced outside. Usagi stuck close to Omi's side as the sound of dogs barking neared them. Usagi gasped as she saw the jaws of the dogs as they approached. Their teeth were looked very sharp, she knew they'd rip right through her skin with ease. She cringed at the thought and her grip tightened on Omi's shoulder.
"Come on!" Omi called as he pulled her along behind him. She ran along behind him, struggling to keep up.
"Matte Omi-kun! You're going too fast!" She cried as her breath came out in tight gasps. Usagi had never been much of a runner to begin with. She didn't even really like to run very much so this was killing her. She was out of shape so it was killing her lungs.
"Hayuku!" Omi called as he continued to pull Usagi along behind him. Usagi's heel dug deep into some mud and she fell on her face.
"Itai…" She whimpered as she rubbed her ankle. She didn't think it was broken but she had done something to it. Omi dropped to her side and scooped her up in his arms. The dogs were right behind them; Omi could feel the jaws at his heels.
"Can you run?" Omi asked as he carried the blond girl. Usagi shook her head and gripped her ankle.
"Iie, I don't think so." She said quietly as a pained expression crossed her face. "Demo, I can try." She whimpered.
"Iie, those dogs are too close." Omi cried as he kept on running. Usagi frowned and jumped out of Omi's arms, standing on one foot. "Usagi-san!!" Omi cried in surprise as she sprang from his arms.
"Over here!" Usagi called as she limped away from Omi.
"Baka!! What are you doing?!?" Omi demanded as he ran toward Usagi. Usagi reached into her pocket and clutched something tightly in her hands.
"Get out of here Omi!" Usagi snapped as she felt her fingers close around a brooch in her pocket. It was just something she'd always kept with her, it made her feel safe. She knew it would give her the courage she needed and she didn't really want to involve Omi in this. He had to get away from there, she didn't care what happened to her at this point.
"Iie!" Omi shouted as he ran toward the girl. He tackled her to the ground just as one of the dogs was about to attack. Usagi felt herself hit the ground and felt her breath go out in a 'whoosh'. When she was finally able to pull air into her lungs, she found herself looking at the ground. Omi had flung her over his shoulder and was running at full speed.
"Put me down Omi-kun…" She mumbled tiredly as she clutched the brooch tightly in her fist. "I can handle this." She said quietly as she was engulfed in darkness.
Omi laid Usagi down in the back of the cave he'd run into a few moments before. She seemed to be really out of it, her eyes were glazed over and her fists were clenched tightly together. He leaned her up against the wall and lightly shook her shoulders.
"Usagi-san? Daijoubu?" He asked as her eyes cleared and she looked straight at him.
"Nande?" She questioned as she surveyed the cave she sat in. Omi stood over her, a worried look on his face. "Hai… daijoubu." She repeated as she rubbed her chest. Her lungs were burning from the effort it took to pull oxygen into them.
"You're safe right now, Usagi-san." Omi explained as he pulled her against his chest. Usagi blushed slightly but felt safe with his arms wrapped around her shoulders. She pulled away a minute later, the brooch still held tightly in her hands. "What's that?" Omi inquired as he looked at the trinket.
"I really don't know." Usagi explained. "It's just something I found a long time ago. I keep it with me because it gives me courage."
"You were very brave back there Usagi-san. Demo, that was a very stupid thing to do." Omi said sternly as he looked down at the blond. Usagi looked away, slightly ashamed.
"Gomen nasai." She mumbled as she slipped the brooch back into her pocket. "My head hurts." Usagi complained quietly as she put her head in her hands. Omi's eyes narrowed slightly as he reached into his pocket.
"Here." He said as he extended his hand to Usagi. Lying in the palm of his hand were two white pills. Usagi looked at him strangely, not willing to take something if she didn't know what it was. "It's a pain killer, it will help you get rid of your headache." He explained. Usagi nodded in agreement and took the pills, making a face as she swallowed them without water. She suddenly felt like she weighed a hundred pounds as she swooned slightly. Omi caught the girl as she fell forward, smiling sadly down at her sleeping form. "Gomen, Usagi-san."
****
Yohji grumbled to himself as he pushed the gas pedal down harder. What was Usagi doing there anyway? Omi had protected her as best he could but she'd still come out with a few nice sized gashes. Yohji frowned in thought and turned his head back to the road in front of him. Usagi lay asleep beside him, mumbling something incoherently.
"Usagi no baka…" Yohji grumbled to himself. "What were you thinking?" He didn't notice her stir in her sleep. Her eyes opened partially but she remained the same way she'd been the whole trip. "You could have been killed." He continued grimly. "Kuso… I wasn't there to protect her."
"N… nani?" A quiet sound met Yohji's ears. He glanced down at the blond girl and pulled the vehicle over on the side of the road. "What happened?" She questioned as she painfully turned toward his voice. Her vision was blurred and she couldn't make out anything that surrounded her. She felt someone's arms encircle her and knew immediately whom it was. His scent was the same, and his lips on her forehead were the same. "Yohji-kun?" She questioned as his fingers wove their way through her hair, which had completely fallen out of the spiky buns.
"Baka, what were you doing there?" Yohji demanded in slight anger but mostly in worry. Usagi's vision was finally starting to clear as his emerald eyes peered into hers.
"I… I wanted to go dancing." Usagi explained as he pulled her against his chest.
"O-negai, don't do anything like that again. The city is dangerous these days." Yohji explained as he held her against his chest.
"I won't, demo how do you know what happened?" Usagi questioned as she pulled away and looked at him strangely. He was caught off guard but managed to turn it into a smirk.
"Judging from the bruises and the way you're dressed, I kind of figured it out." Yohji explained. "Besides, Omi-kun came back and told me where you were."
"Where is Omi? Is he all right?" Usagi questioned worriedly. Yohji's smirk disappeared as he saw something in her eyes. It was worry, but he thought he saw something more. Was he actually jealous of the kid?
"Hai, he's all right." Yohji said as the confident look returned to his face. "Aya-kun took him to the hospital to get looked over. Omi wanted to come back for you, but Aya insisted."
"Oh." Usagi said quietly as she looked away from Yohji. "I was so scared…" Usagi mumbled quietly as she hugged her arms. She felt his arms encircle her waist and pull her against him.
"I'll protect you, Usa-chan." Yohji said quietly as his lips touched the soft skin of her neck. Usagi turned toward him and took his face into her hands. She was searching his eyes for something as she brushed the hair back from his face.
"I won't do anything like that alone again, Yo-chan." She said, blushing a little as she used 'chan' with him. He saw her eyes closed as she leaned toward him and took the opportunity. He wrapped his arms around her waist tighter and drew her closer to him. His lips brushed over hers lightly once before her mouth opened and let his tongue inside to explore. He had never felt himself melt into a kiss like he did this one. It was something neither one had ever felt before in a kiss. She felt his hands trail up her back and weave through her hair as she pushed her lips harder onto his. Yohji smiled mentally as he felt her tongue slip into his mouth eagerly. He would have continued if it hadn't been for the incessant beeping from behind.
"All right, I'm going!" Yohji yelled back to the cars behind him. He pushed away from Usagi and turned his attention back to the road, pulling the car out with a squeal of the tires.
"My parents are going to be mad." Usagi mused to herself with her hands crossed in her lap. "I'm sick of making excuses, Yo-chan." Yohji smiled faintly and reached down to squeeze her hand.
"Don't look so sad, koneko. It doesn't suit you." Yohji said as he held out his palm where a lily sat. Usagi looked surprised, she didn't know where the lily came from.
"How did you do that Yo-chan?" Usagi inquired eagerly as a smile broke out across her face.
"Magic." He said with a smirk. She took the lily and put in behind her ear and smiled up at Yohji.
"You have to teach me some magic then." Usagi said cheerfully as she leaned her head against his arm and gripped his hand lovingly. Yohji chuckled lightly. She was a cute girl, a little childish, but she was someone that he could spoil and surprise. She was still at the age where everything was something new and special and she would treasure the little things like a lily.
Yohji smiled at the girl. There was something special about her all right. She could get anything she wanted with a pout, from him at least. Actually, from most of the people around her. She always faced the world with a smile and a positive attitude. There weren't many people like her; she was one in a billion. There was no way he was going to be able to wait for her, though. He felt bad making all of these promises, but he just couldn't do it. It was hard enough sitting next to her in the car, he wanted to turn around and drive the other way. He wanted to take her away from Tokyo and start a new life, one that didn't involve being an assassin.
****
Yohji pulled up by the curb and Usagi climbed out and waved as he drove off. She smiled sadly as he pulled away. She wished she didn't have to leave. She had to think about Mamoru though. She had feelings for both Yohji and Mamoru; she didn't know how she was going to be able to choose between the two of them.
"Ohayo Usako." A voice said from behind her. Usagi jumped at the sound of the voice and the 'pet' name that was spoken.
"M… Mamo-chan." Usagi gasped as she turned around to see his dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. She was still dressed in the tight dress from the night before and blushed slightly as she looked at the ground.
"Where were you last night, Usako? I waited for you." Mamoru inquired as he glared down at her. Usagi kept her eyes on the ground while she kicked a rock away nervously.
"Some other plans came up." Usagi said nervously. She didn't want to tell him the truth, especially after he saw her get out of Yohji's car.
"So you're seeing some guy behind my back? Is that it?" Mamoru demanded angrily as he grabbed her wrist and began to drag her toward an alleyway.
"Let go Mamoru, you're hurting me!!" Usagi cried as he pulled her roughly toward the alley. She struggled against him, but to no avail. He was much stronger than she was. He shoved her up against the brick wall and slapped her sharply across the face.
"Who was that?" He demanded through clenched teeth as he gripped her tightly by the arms.
"He was a friend, let me go!" Usagi cried as she felt tears stinging in her eyes.
"You're not allowed to see him anymore!" Mamoru growled out as he glared at her. He grabbed her roughly by the arm and began to pull her back out toward the street. He stopped at his car and threw open the door, forcing her inside.
"Leave me alone Mamoru. Why are you getting like this?!" Usagi demanded angrily as she sat in the passenger's seat. He started up the car and pulled out, squealing the tires.
"You're my girl. You're not allowed to be around anyone except for me." He growled as he slammed on the brakes for the stoplight. Once the light changed he slammed on the gas which made the tires spin angrily.
"I don't belong to you Mamoru!" Usagi shouted as she gripped the door handle tightly. How dare he slap her like that. "You don't own me!"
"You are mine, I'm not going to lose you to some bastard that needs a hair cut." Mamoru growled as he hit another red light. "Kuso! Do I have to hit EVERY red light?!?" Usagi frowned at him and pushed the door open, climbing out.
"I'll walk!" Usagi yelled back to him as she crossed the street.
"Get back here!" He yelled out at the blond angrily. "Fine, go fuck your new little boy friend for all I care!"
****
Usagi put her hand over her cheek tenderly; it still stung. She didn't think he'd actually hit her. He had always seemed to be kind to women, at least to her anyway. She sighed and walked down the street toward the Koneko no Sumu Ie. She needed to see if Omi was all right; she didn't care what her parents would say. She was tired of them. They treated her terribly and all they did was fight. The fighting made Usagi want to pull her hair out of her head. Her family had slowly been falling apart for years so she slowly began to withdraw herself from them. It was only another few blocks until she arrived at the flower shop so she decided that she'd run. She began to run slowly and tried to dodge the other people on the street. It was getting dark and smelled like rain. The sky would open up in a few minutes, Usagi didn't really mind though. She was afraid of lightning yes, but the rain would feel good.
"Look out!" An angry voice cried out as Usagi ran past them. An older woman turned around to glare at Usagi before making her way back down the street. When the rain started to come down, it came down in torrents. Usagi couldn't even see three feet in front of her. That's what caused her collision.
"Itai!" Usagi cried as she fell to the ground, skinning up her knee.
"Gomen nasai." A quiet voice said as a boy with dark hair reached a hand down toward her. Usagi accepted his hand and let him pull her up to her feet. The water had already soaked her completely through her clothes. "Daijoubu?" He questioned.
"Hai, daijoubu." Usagi answered as she dusted herself off. It didn't do much good, though; she was already covered in mud. "Gomen, I didn't see you."
"It's all right." He said as he kept walking down the street. Usagi glanced down at the ground and saw something lying in the puddle. She reached into the puddle and lifted something that looked like a dart.
"Nani? Did he drop this?" She asked herself as she stood in the sidewalk as the rain beat down on her. "Matte!" She called after him as she turned to give him the object. "Where did he go?" She asked herself as she searched the street. She felt a shiver go through her as rain dripped down her neck. She quickly pocketed the object and headed down the street, intent on reaching the Koneko before night fell. Usagi ran at full speed through the pouring rain until she came to the familiar store. She pushed the door open and came into the store. Water was dripping from her hair, face, and clothes as she came into the store panting heavily.
"Usagi-san?" Omi questioned as he saw the blond hunched over and soaking wet. "Daijoubu?" He questioned as he went over next to her. She waved her hand to him, making a motion that she needed a minute to catch her breath.
"We're closing." A deep voice said from behind. Usagi turned to meet the violet eyes of Fujimiya Aya, the quiet one of the bunch. He didn't put up with much from people that were just loitering about in the store.
"Gomen nasai, I just wanted to see if Omi-kun was all right." Usagi said quietly as her eyes fell on the ground.
"Lay off Aya-kun." A carefree voice said. Usagi turned to see Yohji standing in the doorway with a flower in his hand. She blushed slightly as she looked at him. She loved the way he looked. She loved the way he dressed; even the way he smoked was sexy. "She's Omi's friend, ne Usa- chan?" He asked while he winked in her direction. Usagi's cheeks turned slightly pink at being called 'chan' in front of Aya and Omi. She just nodded in agreement; she didn't really know how to react around Yohji in public.
"Daijoubu, Omi-kun?" Usagi asked as she walked up to the boy. She checked him over really quick before hugging him. "Doomo arigato…" She whispered as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Nande?" Omi questioned, his cheeks had turned crimson red at the girl's emotional hug. "I didn't do anything, Usagi-san."
"You protected me from them." Usagi sobbed as she lay against his chest. Omi glanced over at Yohji and heard an indignant snort before the taller man turned and walked into the back of the store.
"It was nothing Usagi-san." Omi said in embarrassment as the blond released him and wiped her tears away. Usagi shook her head at him.
"Iie, it wasn't nothing Omi-kun. It really meant a lot to me. You could have been killed but you risked your life to help me." She said with a smile as she looked at him. Omi blushed again at her comment.
"You're welcome Usagi-san." Omi said with a nod. "Why don't you come in and dry off. Maybe Aya or Yohji will be able to give you a ride home." Usagi nodded and followed Omi into the back of the shop. Aya glared down at her as she walked past. He really didn't like that girl hanging around here, especially after what had happened today. Omi was lucky he didn't blow his cover. Omi went upstairs to his room and grabbed a shirt and pair of pants for Usagi to pull on, as well as a belt so they wouldn't fall off. Usagi went and quickly changed into Omi's clothes, wrinkling her nose slightly at how big they were. She came out of the bathroom and went into the sitting area where Omi and the rest of the guys were. Usagi walked into the room quietly, surprised to see that the room was completely dark and there was a silhouette of a man on the large screen television.
"Nani?" Usagi questioned as she listened to what he was saying. She had transferred the strange dart to the pocket of Omi's pants. She glanced down at the small object and read the word 'Bombay' scratched into it. As she glanced back up at the screen, she heard the deep voice call one of the four guys 'Bombay'.
"Hunters of light, hunt the beasts of darkness." The deep voice continued before the screen turned off and the lights flipped on.
"Another mission all ready?" Ken grumbled to himself as he stood up. Usagi pressed herself back against the wall as tightly as she could and stuffed the dart back into her pocket. A woman with fire red hair turned toward her when she heard a sound. She lunged at Usagi and pulled a gun, leveling it on Usagi.
"N… nani?"

"Usagi no baka…" Yohji grumbled to himself. "What were you thinking?" He didn't notice her stir in her sleep. Her eyes opened partially but she remained the same way she'd been the whole trip. "You could have been killed." He continued grimly. "Kuso… I wasn't there to protect her."
"N… nani?" A quiet sound met Yohji's ears. He glanced down at the blond girl and pulled the vehicle over on the side of the road. "What happened?" She questioned as she painfully turned toward his voice. Her vision was blurred and she couldn't make out anything that surrounded her. She felt someone's arms encircle her and knew immediately whom it was. His scent was the same, and his lips on her forehead were the same. "Yohji-kun?" She questioned as his fingers wove their way through her hair, which had completely fallen out of the spiky buns.
"Baka, what were you doing there?" Yohji demanded in slight anger but mostly in worry. Usagi's vision was finally starting to clear as his emerald eyes peered into hers.
"I… I wanted to go dancing." Usagi explained as he pulled her against his chest.
"O-negai, don't do anything like that again. The city is dangerous these days." Yohji explained as he held her against his chest.
"I won't, demo how do you know what happened?" Usagi questioned as she pulled away and looked at him strangely. He was caught off guard but managed to turn it into a smirk.
"Judging from the bruises and the way you're dressed, I kind of figured it out." Yohji explained. "Besides, Omi-kun came back and told me where you were."
"Where is Omi? Is he all right?" Usagi questioned worriedly. Yohji's smirk disappeared as he saw something in her eyes. It was worry, but he thought he saw something more. Was he actually jealous of the kid?
"Hai, he's all right." Yohji said as the confident look returned to his face. "Aya-kun took him to the hospital to get looked over. Omi wanted to come back for you, but Aya insisted."
"Oh." Usagi said quietly as she looked away from Yohji. "I was so scared…" Usagi mumbled quietly as she hugged her arms. She felt his arms encircle her waist and pull her against him.
"I'll protect you, Usa-chan." Yohji said quietly as his lips touched the soft skin of her neck. Usagi turned toward him and took his face into her hands. She was searching his eyes for something as she brushed the hair back from his face.
"I won't do anything like that alone again, Yo-chan." She said, blushing a little as she used 'chan' with him. He saw her eyes closed as she leaned toward him and took the opportunity. He wrapped his arms around her waist tighter and drew her closer to him. His lips brushed over hers lightly once before her mouth opened and let his tongue inside to explore. He had never felt himself melt into a kiss like he did this one. It was something neither one had ever felt before in a kiss. She felt his hands trail up her back and weave through her hair as she pushed her lips harder onto his. Yohji smiled mentally as he felt her tongue slip into his mouth eagerly. He would have continued if it hadn't been for the incessant beeping from behind.
"All right, I'm going!" Yohji yelled back to the cars behind him. He pushed away from Usagi and turned his attention back to the road, pulling the car out with a squeal of the tires.
"My parents are going to be mad." Usagi mused to herself with her hands crossed in her lap. "I'm sick of making excuses, Yo-chan." Yohji smiled faintly and reached down to squeeze her hand.
"Don't look so sad, koneko. It doesn't suit you." Yohji said as he held out his palm where a lily sat. Usagi looked surprised, she didn't know where the lily came from.
"How did you do that Yo-chan?" Usagi inquired eagerly as a smile broke out across her face.
"Magic." He said with a smirk. She took the lily and put in behind her ear and smiled up at Yohji.
"You have to teach me some magic then." Usagi said cheerfully as she leaned her head against his arm and gripped his hand lovingly. Yohji chuckled lightly. She was a cute girl, a little childish, but she was someone that he could spoil and surprise. She was still at the age where everything was something new and special and she would treasure the little things like a lily.
Yohji smiled at the girl. There was something special about her all right. She could get anything she wanted with a pout, from him at least. Actually, from most of the people around her. She always faced the world with a smile and a positive attitude. There weren't many people like her; she was one in a billion. There was no way he was going to be able to wait for her, though. He felt bad making all of these promises, but he just couldn't do it. It was hard enough sitting next to her in the car, he wanted to turn around and drive the other way. He wanted to take her away from Tokyo and start a new life, one that didn't involve being an assassin.
****
Yohji pulled up by the curb and Usagi climbed out and waved as he drove off. She smiled sadly as he pulled away. She wished she didn't have to leave. She had to think about Mamoru though. She had feelings for both Yohji and Mamoru; she didn't know how she was going to be able to choose between the two of them.
"Ohayo Usako." A voice said from behind her. Usagi jumped at the sound of the voice and the 'pet' name that was spoken.
"M… Mamo-chan." Usagi gasped as she turned around to see his dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. She was still dressed in the tight dress from the night before and blushed slightly as she looked at the ground.
"Where were you last night, Usako? I waited for you." Mamoru inquired as he glared down at her. Usagi kept her eyes on the ground while she kicked a rock away nervously.
"Some other plans came up." Usagi said nervously. She didn't want to tell him the truth, especially after he saw her get out of Yohji's car.
"So you're seeing some guy behind my back? Is that it?" Mamoru demanded angrily as he grabbed her wrist and began to drag her toward an alleyway.
"Let go Mamoru, you're hurting me!!" Usagi cried as he pulled her roughly toward the alley. She struggled against him, but to no avail. He was much stronger than she was. He shoved her up against the brick wall and slapped her sharply across the face.
"Who was that?" He demanded through clenched teeth as he gripped her tightly by the arms.
"He was a friend, let me go!" Usagi cried as she felt tears stinging in her eyes.
"You're not allowed to see him anymore!" Mamoru growled out as he glared at her. He grabbed her roughly by the arm and began to pull her back out toward the street. He stopped at his car and threw open the door, forcing her inside.
"Leave me alone Mamoru. Why are you getting like this?!" Usagi demanded angrily as she sat in the passenger's seat. He started up the car and pulled out, squealing the tires.
"You're my girl. You're not allowed to be around anyone except for me." He growled as he slammed on the brakes for the stoplight. Once the light changed he slammed on the gas which made the tires spin angrily.
"I don't belong to you Mamoru!" Usagi shouted as she gripped the door handle tightly. How dare he slap her like that. "You don't own me!"
"You are mine, I'm not going to lose you to some bastard that needs a hair cut." Mamoru growled as he hit another red light. "Kuso! Do I have to hit EVERY red light?!?" Usagi frowned at him and pushed the door open, climbing out.
"I'll walk!" Usagi yelled back to him as she crossed the street.
"Get back here!" He yelled out at the blond angrily. "Fine, go fuck your new little boy friend for all I care!"
****
Usagi put her hand over her cheek tenderly; it still stung. She didn't think he'd actually hit her. He had always seemed to be kind to women, at least to her anyway. She sighed and walked down the street toward the Koneko no Sumu Ie. She needed to see if Omi was all right; she didn't care what her parents would say. She was tired of them. They treated her terribly and all they did was fight. The fighting made Usagi want to pull her hair out of her head. Her family had slowly been falling apart for years so she slowly began to withdraw herself from them. It was only another few blocks until she arrived at the flower shop so she decided that she'd run. She began to run slowly and tried to dodge the other people on the street. It was getting dark and smelled like rain. The sky would open up in a few minutes, Usagi didn't really mind though. She was afraid of lightning yes, but the rain would feel good.
"Look out!" An angry voice cried out as Usagi ran past them. An older woman turned around to glare at Usagi before making her way back down the street. When the rain started to come down, it came down in torrents. Usagi couldn't even see three feet in front of her. That's what caused her collision.
"Itai!" Usagi cried as she fell to the ground, skinning up her knee.
"Gomen nasai." A quiet voice said as a boy with dark hair reached a hand down toward her. Usagi accepted his hand and let him pull her up to her feet. The water had already soaked her completely through her clothes. "Daijoubu?" He questioned.
"Hai, daijoubu." Usagi answered as she dusted herself off. It didn't do much good, though; she was already covered in mud. "Gomen, I didn't see you."
"It's all right." He said as he kept walking down the street. Usagi glanced down at the ground and saw something lying in the puddle. She reached into the puddle and lifted something that looked like a dart.
"Nani? Did he drop this?" She asked herself as she stood in the sidewalk as the rain beat down on her. "Matte!" She called after him as she turned to give him the object. "Where did he go?" She asked herself as she searched the street. She felt a shiver go through her as rain dripped down her neck. She quickly pocketed the object and headed down the street, intent on reaching the Koneko before night fell. Usagi ran at full speed through the pouring rain until she came to the familiar store. She pushed the door open and came into the store. Water was dripping from her hair, face, and clothes as she came into the store panting heavily.
"Usagi-san?" Omi questioned as he saw the blond hunched over and soaking wet. "Daijoubu?" He questioned as he went over next to her. She waved her hand to him, making a motion that she needed a minute to catch her breath.
"We're closing." A deep voice said from behind. Usagi turned to meet the violet eyes of Fujimiya Aya, the quiet one of the bunch. He didn't put up with much from people that were just loitering about in the store.
"Gomen nasai, I just wanted to see if Omi-kun was all right." Usagi said quietly as her eyes fell on the ground.
"Lay off Aya-kun." A carefree voice said. Usagi turned to see Yohji standing in the doorway with a flower in his hand. She blushed slightly as she looked at him. She loved the way he looked. She loved the way he dressed; even the way he smoked was sexy. "She's Omi's friend, ne Usa- chan?" He asked while he winked in her direction. Usagi's cheeks turned slightly pink at being called 'chan' in front of Aya and Omi. She just nodded in agreement; she didn't really know how to react around Yohji in public.
"Daijoubu, Omi-kun?" Usagi asked as she walked up to the boy. She checked him over really quick before hugging him. "Doomo arigato…" She whispered as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Nande?" Omi questioned, his cheeks had turned crimson red at the girl's emotional hug. "I didn't do anything, Usagi-san."
"You protected me from them." Usagi sobbed as she lay against his chest. Omi glanced over at Yohji and heard an indignant snort before the taller man turned and walked into the back of the store.
"It was nothing Usagi-san." Omi said in embarrassment as the blond released him and wiped her tears away. Usagi shook her head at him.
"Iie, it wasn't nothing Omi-kun. It really meant a lot to me. You could have been killed but you risked your life to help me." She said with a smile as she looked at him. Omi blushed again at her comment.
"You're welcome Usagi-san." Omi said with a nod. "Why don't you come in and dry off. Maybe Aya or Yohji will be able to give you a ride home." Usagi nodded and followed Omi into the back of the shop. Aya glared down at her as she walked past. He really didn't like that girl hanging around here, especially after what had happened today. Omi was lucky he didn't blow his cover. Omi went upstairs to his room and grabbed a shirt and pair of pants for Usagi to pull on, as well as a belt so they wouldn't fall off. Usagi went and quickly changed into Omi's clothes, wrinkling her nose slightly at how big they were. She came out of the bathroom and went into the sitting area where Omi and the rest of the guys were. Usagi walked into the room quietly, surprised to see that the room was completely dark and there was a silhouette of a man on the large screen television.
"Nani?" Usagi questioned as she listened to what he was saying. She had transferred the strange dart to the pocket of Omi's pants. She glanced down at the small object and read the word 'Bombay' scratched into it. As she glanced back up at the screen, she heard the deep voice call one of the four guys 'Bombay'.
"Hunters of light, hunt the beasts of darkness." The deep voice continued before the screen turned off and the lights flipped on.
"Another mission all ready?" Ken grumbled to himself as he stood up. Usagi pressed herself back against the wall as tightly as she could and stuffed the dart back into her pocket. A woman with fire red hair turned toward her when she heard a sound. She lunged at Usagi and pulled a gun, leveling it on Usagi.
"N… nani?"
