Walking Wounded
Part 1, Chapter 5
by Kalika
Genre: Alternate Reality
Rating: R (language, violence, adult situations,
and the fact that I have a very twisted mind)
Okay, about an hour and a half after finishing the
fourth chapter, just before Andrea-sama and George-sama
update A Sailor Moon Romance, what do I do? Being the
amazingly wonderful procrastinator that I am, and I
swear to my goddess that it's an artform, I write
the fifth chapter. What can I say? I hear the muse
calling me tonight.
For everyone that wanted Mamo-chan, here ya go. This
goes out to Krysia, cause we all know she's a romance
freak at heart. *wink at Krys-chan*
Also, go see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
it's good.
On with the story already.

"You look so fine,
I want to break you heart and give you mine.
You're taking me over.
It's so insane.
You've got me tethered and chained.
I hear your name,
and I'm falling over.
I'm not like all of the other girls.
I can't take it like the other girls.
I won't share it like the other girls
that you used to know.
You look so fine.
Knocked down, cried out,
been down just to find out,
I'm through bleeding for you.
I'm open wide,
I want to take you home, we'll waste some time.
You're the only one for me.
You look so fine.
I'm like the desert tonight, leave her behind,
if you want to show me.
I'm not like all the other girls.
I won't take it like the other girls.
I won't fake it like the other girls
that you used to know.
You're taking me over
Over and over.
I'm falling over
Over and over.
You're taking me over.
Drown in me one more time.
Hide inside me tonight.
Do what you want to do.
Just pretend happy end.
Let me know let it show.
Ending with letting go.
Let's pretend, happy end."

The doorbell sounded as Usagi's mom was finishing
her hair. Ikuko rushed out of her daughter's bedroom and
down the stairs to meet Mamoru for the first time. Usagi
once again rolled her eyes at her mother and finished
up her hair on her own. She could hear her mother downstairs.
"Oh! You must be Chiba-san!"
"Hai, you must be Usagi's sister," he flattered.
Usagi smiled, always make a good impression on mom's
and you get their daughters. Kenji had never been so nice
to her mother. He had never been as respectful either.
Usa was so deep in thought, she hadn't heard her mother call
her down. She jumped as her mother tapped her shoulder.
"Usa, Mamoru-san is waiting for you. Dear, you have
got to stop thinking of... HIM." Her mother knew. Shingo
was right, Ikuko did have a sixth sense.
"I know, mama, I know. It's so hard though, he ran
my life for so long. And.. I'll never forget the things he
did... oh the things he put me through. Mama, you'd be
shocked. Just sickened at the type of man he was." Ikuko
nodded understandingly and hugged her daughter.
"Usagi, it's alright. He can't find you here. Not
since we moved." Usagi nodded finally and stood.
"Well, I guess I should go meet the handsome man..."
she trailed off as she noticed said handsome man in the
doorway. He smiled and she smiled back at him.
"So I'm handsome?" he grinned at her reddening face
and took her hand. "It was good meeting you Tsukino-san. I
hope to see you again soon."
"Oh you will, Mamoru-san. And please, call me Ikuko."
she smiled warmly at the young man before her.
As the two walked out of the house and got in the car,
Mamoru, of course, opening Usagi's door, Ikuko couldn't help
but feel bad for lying to her daughter. Kenji would find them,
Ikuko knew. She felt it. She only hoped Usagi was strong
enough to deal with it.

"Black black heart,
could you offer more?
Could you make it easier on me
to satisfy?
I'm on fire.
I'm rotting to the core.
I'm eating all your kings and queens,
all your sex and your diamonds."

Kenji was beyond pissed. He was homicidal. Who the
fuck did that little bitch think she was? Not only did she
leave his laundry in the washer, so it smelled of mildew,
she left dinner unprepared and also took his money. His hard
earned motherfucking money. And she left him! THE NERVE!
Who the fuck did she think she was? Surely that cunt
didn't think she could leave him?
He smiled wickedly. He'd made sure she'd be too
scared to leave him. Too frightened for her life. Right?
He thought he had, at least.
But now, he's come home to no food, no clean
clothes, and no Usagi. Better yet, she robbed him
blind. Okay, he was exaggerating. Not blind, but
no bitch steals from Masayoto Kenji and lives. Certainly
not a rabbit like Usagi.
Her name may mean rabbit, but she's not that fast.
Besides, he DID have a hankering for some rabbit stew.
"That little bitch will pay," he said, barely recognizing
his own voice.

"When he knocked on my door and entered my room,
my trembling subsided in his sure embrace.
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand,
he wiped up the tears that ran down my face."
~~~~/~~@~~~~/~~@~~~~/~~@~~~~/~~@~~~~/~~@~~~~/~~@
Dinner was boring, as Mamoru said it would be.
It turned out he worked for a popular computer systems
company. The banquet went by quickly, however, as both
Usagi and Mamoru got to know eachother. Finally, dinner
ended and they stood to get their coats.
On the way to the car, Mamoru stopped Usagi.
"Usagi, you've been somewhat reserved all night.
Is there anything bothering you?"
Usagi gazed at him under her eyelashed. His hair
seemed ebony under the moonlight, and looked to be
sprinkled with purple highlights. His eyes showed
concern and... something else. Attraction perhaps.
Usa nodded dismissively, "Hai, Mamoru. Everything
is fine. Just a bit tired from my trip here." She felt
horrible lying to Mamo-chan like that. Yes, Mamo-chan.
She developed the nickname in her head during the night.
In all honesty, she didn't really lie. She just skirted
the truth... barely.
Mamoru knew she wasn't telling him something. He
wondered who the 'he' was that Ikuko-san mentioned earlier.
"Usa... what was your mother talking about when
she mentioned someone not being able to find you here?"
He noticed that she visibly paled when he mentioned the
situation.
"Just... a problem that refuses to go away," she
replied with some reluctance. She couldn't bring herself
to tell him... not just yet. She liked Mamoru, and almost
believed herself to be falling for him, even though she
had only met him that afternoon.
He nodded, understanding. "Usa," he began, and
she blushed at his second use of her nickname. She liked
it. "When you feel ready to talk about it, I will always
be here for you. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on
or an ear to hear your cries." With those words, she
felt her heart, which she had presumed dead, force itself
back to life, and begin beating hard as he hugged her.
When they pulled away, she found herself in his
deep blue gaze, his eyes unwavering and full of sincere
concern for her well-being. Usagi began to feel pulled
into his prussian blue depths and neither party noticed
their faces closing toward eachother.
Their noses touched and Usagi felt her heart
release a happy palpitation. He tentatively asked her
with his eyes if he may kiss her, and she didn't even
have to reply. She wanted him to.
Soft petals of roses met rays of the moon as
the two kissed. Usagi's fingers intertwined in
Mamoru's thick hair, and one of his hands wrapped
it's way around her petite waist, the other in her
blonde tresses.
To anyone who may have walked by, the two
looked like an engaged couple who just celebrated
their anniversary. To the two, the world faded
away and they danced in a moonlit rosegarden all
their own.

"Then you could be the remedy
and I could be the enemy
and we could go and live as nothing.
And you could be the wannabe,
and I could be the remedy,
and he can go the hell for all I care."
