The sun was shining brightly through the unclosed curtains. It lit up the room, making it nearly impossible for Mamoru not to open his eyes. He felt cranky and stiff, like he hadn't had enough sleep, which surprised him. He often only got two to three hours of sleep and felt fine, but now, he had gotten at least six hours in, but felt as if he barely closed his eyes.
" Oh, Good Morning, Mamo-chan. I would've woken you earlier, knowing as you like being early, but since you're well not used to being 6, I figured you would need a bit more sleep"
Mamoru's vision cleared as he faced the owner of the sweet motherly voice. He was amazed to find Usagi with her hair in a ponytail, dressed in an apron holding a tray full of food.
Smiling, she slowly placed the tray in front of the sitting child. " Have some breakfast. I made it myself."
" You sure it's not poisonous?" Mamoru asked.
" Nope, I followed the recipe thoroughly," Usagi said giggling at his comment.
She stood up gracefully making Mamoru wonder if her past gracelessness was just an act to cover for her second identity. Usagi went over to his closet to find only suits and such.
"Hm, I guess we need to go to my house to find you some clothing," Usagi said quietly.
Usagi turned around and faced Mamoru. She smiled at his present condition. His jet black hair was still the same, but his eyes were much larger. He had lost most of his balance, since he wasn't used to the body weight.
" Hurry up and finish your breakfast, hon. We have places to go to. I guess I can be late. Its not a big deal. The teachers don't much care anymore," Usagi smiled.
* * *
Mamoru took Usagi's hand and started walking by her side. To anyone looking, they looked like a sitter and a child. Passing by the arcade, Motoki was stunned to see them just pass through looking like a family. Mamoru had looked like he was Usagi's child or little brother.
' Looks like Mamoru may find the cure sooner than we thought. But . how do we get him back to his right size and age?' Motoki thought.
Mamoru was getting jumpy. Breakfast gave him enough energy to jump and skip. As they passed the park, he had the sudden urge to run towards it and play on the slides. Usagi noticed this, and remembered when she herself was 6. How carefree life was.
" Hm, Mamo-chan, I know you probably want to go to the park," Usagi saw his eyes light up. " But we'll have to wait until I know you have some clothing, okay? If not you'll have to wait until later after we go shopping."
Mamoru didn't know why he felt so sad, or why his heart started beating faster when Usagi smiled at him.
"Okay. We're here"
Usagi's voice got him out of his day dream. He looked up and saw a two floor house with a moon on the mail box. He noted that Usagi reached under the welcome mat for a key. She then opened the door and went inside, holding the door for Mamoru to come in.
" Why aren't your parents home?" Mamoru asked. His little voice sounding confused.
He looked at Usagi who smiled softly at him and placed him on the couch.
" Well, Dad had a business client who couldn't travel. He lived in Hawaii and the meeting then was moved from here to Hawaii. He then decided to tell his boss that after the meeting he was calling in his three week vacation," Usagi said as she took off Mamoru's shoes. " But, he could only bring one person. So he took Mom so they could have their second honeymoon."
Mamoru looked around the living room and found many pictures of her for every year. He also found a family picture with her and who he assumed to be his little brother.
"What about your brother?"
" Oh, Shingo?" She replied. " He's at my auntie's in Kyoto. I opted to stay after I had told them my plans on living in my own apartment. Alright then, you stay here and keep yourself amused with my brother's video games. They're still connected to the television. I'll be upstairs looking for Shingo's old clothes"
Upon hearing Usagi's light footsteps going up the stairs, he decided to pass on playing video games and continued to look at her family pictures. He marveled at how cute she looked when she was a child. And his gaze fell on her fourth picture.
' Sh-she's the one! The little girl who gave me the rose!'
FLASHBACK
Mamoru was 10 when it happened. His parents had died of a car crash and he had lost his memory in the process. He could remember his parent's screams as the car skidded off to the shoulder of the road.
His mother's beautiful face had been covered in blood and his father's strong body had been crushed from the waist down.
He remembered the doctors telling him of the tragedy and had told him that records found his name was Mamoru Darien S. Chiba. He had asked about his parents only to find out that his father was the owner of the Chiba Inc. He was incredibly wealthy, but he had no other family members living.
He had cried after he found out. Then, he felt another presence in the room. He looked up to see a little girl, no more than the age of 5, standing there smiling at him with an arm full of roses.
"Don't be sad. I'm going to get my new little brother and I want everyone to be happy," she said. Her clear blue eyes sparkled with compassion as she handed him a beautiful rose in full bloom.
" Bunny?" a voice in the hall shouted.
"I have to go! Bye!"
Looking at the rose in his hands, he felt better. He had forgotten to ask the little girl her name, but as he was going to ask, he found she was gone.
FLASHBACK ENDS
' So you were the little girl'
" You like that picture?" he heard behind him. He turned around and saw Usagi's smiling face.
' The same smile.'
"I got that one taken after Shingo was born. It's one of my favorites," she said. " Anyway, I'm sorry to say this, but I guess mom had already given Shingo's old clothes away. I couldn't find out that could've fit you."
"That's okay," Mamoru said. " This outfit can do."
" Nonsense," Usagi said. " A boy your age, at least your body's age should have at least a full wardrobe! Winter's just two months away Mamoru!"
Mamoru cringed. " But I may be cured before then!"
Usagi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You know who you love? I don't think so! Besides, its good to be prepared! But you're right. That outfit can do for today,"
* * *
Mamoru felt stupid in the daycare's waiting playroom. The kids were only 6!
'You ARE 6 you dimwit!' he reminded himself.
"Alright! Ami's fake records did the trick!" Usagi whispered in Mamoru's ear. " Alright, I am listed as your guardian. But they have to know what my relationship to you is, what would you prefer? Aunt, cousin.?"
"Mother"
Usagi was silent. 'Mother?'
"Mother? Mamoru?" Usagi asked
" Yeah, why not?" Mamoru asked. " What age are you in Ami's records? What name?"
Usagi hesitated, thinking.
" My name was to be Serena, as of last name, unknown. I'm to be 21," she said.
"Okay then, Serena Shields, married, one child," Mamoru whispered back grinning. " At least, when the office checks your files, they'll know that Darien is married to you."
"Alright, but I'll have to ask Ames," Usagi said as she crept out of the playroom and continued outside.
* * *
" Ami," Usagi said as she pulled out her communicator.
" Usa? Where are you?! Ms. Haruna is getting worried sick. She's bawling! I never knew she was so fond of you!" Ami whispered.
" Well, get out your computer and fill out the unknowns. My name is going to be Mrs. Serena Shields. I'm married to Mr. Darien Shields and I have a son named Mamoru who is the age of 6. I'm 21.. hm. better make that 25. Make Darien 29 okay?" Usagi said hurriedly.
She heard typing on the other side.
"Alright, done," Ami said. "Be careful and for goodness sake come to school as quick as you can!"
* * *
When Usagi came back, there was a tall red headed woman talking to a now crying Mamoru. She decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Stupid child! Shut up! When I find out who your teacher is, I'm going to make sure that you get punished for doing anything!" the revealing woman said.
"Excuse me" Usagi said.
The woman turned around and glared at her.
" There you are you incompetent no excuse for a teacher! This punk had the audacity to tell me that I should put come decent clothes on! What a rude child! I demand you teach him some manners!" she said.
Usagi got mad. She glared at the woman with an extent that the red head gulped audibly.
"For your information, you hussy! What this child just said is true! And to think that they hired you to be the desk clerk in this DAYCARE CENTER!" Usagi snapped. " And as for teacher him manners, I should know that Mamoru has exellent manners that surpasses yours! But then again, a slug would have better manners than you!"
"Oh really?" The woman challenged. "And how would you know this? How long have you been teaching here? I've never seen you before!"
" That's because I'm his mother!" Usagi said curtly. Motioning for Mamoru to take her hand, she faced the red head once more "Come honey, we should go to another daycare center. The staff here isn't very suitable for a child your age!"
The red head babbled incoherently trying her best to call Usagi back and ask her to reconsider. Usagi just took Mamoru's hand and went out the door.
'I hope she gets fired!'
Mamoru had stopped crying long before they left the centre.
" That woman was mean! She just started yelling at me after I told her that her outfit wasn't that appropriate for the surroundings," Mamoru said quietly.
Usagi knelt in front of him and smiled. " It wasn't your fault Mamoru, you were just acting like your real age, but your body's age can't handle being scolded and being your age now and acting like the cocky 20 year old that you are, would probably make people like that hussy get pretty mad at you,"
" How am I supposed to act?" Mamoru asked utterly lost. " I have no memory of being 6."
Usagi smiled sadly. " Just let your feelings do the talking. Don't think too much like the Azabu student that you are"
Mamoru hugged Usagi, thankful that she was being so nice to him, considering all of the things he had done to her. After releasing her from his hug, they continued on to Juuban High daycare center.
Author's Note: Heehee. I was so angry at before I wrote this chapter. I got that red head fired! ^-^ Ill post more soon! I really ought to add that red head when she's fired. that would be wicked cool.
