Kunzite rolled his eyes, "Ugh! Why is it that you show up at the most
inopportune times?"
"Inopportune? I don't think so," Mamoru said unusually calm, "It seems as though I came just in time."
"Ugh! Go away. No one wants you here." Kunzite tried to walk by, but Mamoru stopped him.
"No. I think you're the one who's not wanted." Mamoru glanced over Usagi. A bruise had already begun to show where she had received a blow earlier. He turned his attention back to Kunzite, "You know just once I'd like to see her beautiful face, but for some reason it's always covered in bruises."
"Well, it wouldn't be if she did what she was told."
Mamoru tried very hard to keep his temper down, "Look. You're not in the picture anymore. Just leave her alone."
"And if I don't?"
"Then I'll have to get the police involved."
"Not if you're dead."
Mamoru dodged a wild punch from Kunzite. He immediately stood back up and threw a punch himself. Mamoru hit Kunzite right in his face, breaking his nose. Just then a thought occurred to Mamoru. He swung again and hit Kunzite's cheek. Kunzite swung again but Mamoru caught his arm and swung him in the side of the building, the back Kunzite's head cracked against the wall. Quickly, Mamoru sent Kunzite to the ground, stepping on his arm and pulling it back, causing it to break. Kunzite let out a cry of pain.
"Yeah, It hurts doesn't it? How do you think she felt went you did the same to her?" Mamoru said fiercely looking down at Kunzite, his eyes burning into Kunzite's, "Now Get out of here." Mamoru watched as Kunzite ran to his car and squealed out of the parking lot.
Mamoru turned to a wide-eyed Usagi. "Are okay?" He asked concerned.
"You." Usagi fought to find the words and get them out, "You. you just beat the crap out of him."
"Oh yeah, that. You saw that eh?"
"Well, duh!" She thought a moment, "Why would you? I mean, it's just me. I'm nothing special. I'm sure you can find another girl."
The words cut his heart like a thousand daggers, "Oh, Usako. I don't want anyone else." He said taking her into an embrace. The embrace that she loved so much. He pulled away suddenly and looked down at her, "We have to get you out of here. Come on, get in." He said as he opened the door to his car.
"What? Where are we going?" Usagi said confused as she got in.
"Some place safe." Mamoru got in and drove off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Rei!" Mamoru called out as he approached a raven-haired girl.
She turned and smiled, "Mamoru-kun. How are you? I haven't seen you in awhile. Why don't you come in?"
He smiled, "I wish I could, but I'm here on business."
Rei's brows furrowed, "Business?"
"I need a favour."
"Of course anything."
"I have a. friend. She's in danger. Could she stay here for awhile just until everything clears up?"
"Danger?" Rei's eyes shifted to Usagi who was coming up the steps. "Oh my goodness." Rei said when she saw Usagi's bruise, which had gotten much worse since they left, "Of course she can stay."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"So what did you say your name was?" Rei asked after Usagi was settled.
"Ummm. Usagi."
"Oh right. Well, you can go anywhere you'd like. If you need anything just tell me. Okay?"
Usagi nodded. After watching Rei leave the room she sat on the bed and looked around the room. It had a high ceiling she noticed. Why that fact seemed so important she didn't know. She started to think about earlier. Mamoru had protected her. Well, he always managed to do that, but he. what did he do again? Beat the crap out of Kunzite. She remembered not knowing whether to feel safe, grateful or scared. Now she really didn't know what to do. Everything happened so fast; one minute she was watching the fight and the next she was here. Wherever here was. And once again she didn't have any clothes or any of her belongings. She half wondered if Rei would take her shopping like Mamoru did. Mamoru, he was the only person that could send butterflies through her stomach when she thought about him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mamoru looked around his empty apartment. Satisfied with his cleaning job. He never realized how lonely it was until her. He sat down on his couch wondering what he should do. He looked around his apartment and sighed. His attention focused on Usagi's purse. Hmmm, he thought, maybe I should take some of her clothes to her. He got up and headed for the bedroom, stopping at the hall closet to get a suitcase. He laid it on his bed and filled it with her clothes. He turned back to her purse, opened it and brought out her souvenir from the hospital. And laid it on top and closed the case.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
After putting away the things Mamoru brought over for her, Usagi met Rei outside on the patio.
"Rei? Can I ask you a question?" Usagi said timidly.
"Sure. What's on your mind?" Rei's tone was friendly and inviting.
"How do you know Mamoru?"
Rei chuckled, "Well, we used to date for a while. But it was more as if we were only friends then a couple. So we broke up and remained friends."
"Oh." Usagi's heart sank. She examined Rei. She was far more beautiful than she was. Rei wasn't a mess. She obviously had her shit together. Mamoru could easily go back to her. I mean why wouldn't he? Look at her compared to Rei. Maybe he was just settling for second best. She heaved a sigh.
Rei looked up at her, "What's wrong?"
Usagi shook her head, "Nothing."
Rei paused a moment, "So? Are you Mamoru seeing each other?"
Usagi blushed, "I guess you can say that."
Rei smiled sweetly, "Don't worry. Him and I are just friends, nothing more."
"I never said you weren't."
"I can tell you're worried. It's a female thing. I would be too if the roles were switched."
"I doubt that." Usagi mumbled.
"Why's that?" Rei asked curious.
"Well, cause you're so much prettier than me. And obviously talented and you know what you want to do in the future. You've got it all together, and I'm just a big mess. I think he's just settling."
"No. See Mamoru never settles. He's with you for a reason. Do you honestly think that he would go to this length to protect you like this, if he was just settling?"
"Maybe he just brought me here to get me out of his hair." Usagi said as she looked down at her shuffling feet.
Rei stopped sweeping and looked at her new friend in the eyes, "No. Don't ever think that. He brought you here because you'll be safe. He loves you. I can sense it."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mamoru was flipping through the TV channels when there was a knock at the door. He brought his brows together in thought, now who could that be? He opened the door to find two police men standing in front of him
"Chiba Mamoru?" One asked in a firm tone.
"Yes."
"You're under arrest for the physical assault of Tsukino Usagi and Higo Kunzite."
* * * * * * * * *
Gasp! Oh no! Yeah well anyway, hope you enjoyed. Sorry if you don't like the last name I picked for Kunzite, but I didn't know what his was if he even had one. And I just randomly choose it in the matter of two seconds, well maybe 5. But you get the picture.
"Inopportune? I don't think so," Mamoru said unusually calm, "It seems as though I came just in time."
"Ugh! Go away. No one wants you here." Kunzite tried to walk by, but Mamoru stopped him.
