Chapter 9-ish: Intermission/Time and Time Again
Author: kalika
E-gads! You people love me! It still scares me to know that people find my
writing good. It's kind of funny, most people don't talk the way the write, and
the other way around. I do, I talk exactly as I write. I even use a couple of
my own taglines while writing.
Hmm... Okay, the point of this little intermission is to take a break from
the storyline as it is.
This is a sort of insider info, so we'll see this all as I do, aight?
Here we go:
First of all, Usagi. Alot of people like her character, but I was afraid of
making her too callow(it means frightened and weak willed). Basically,
I'm following along with the literal meanings of both her name and
Mamo-chan's. Usagi is skittish, yet determined, like a bunny. She's
not quick to leave behind those who mean the world to her, but she
will make split second decisions to benefit her in the future, and
to her, the ends only justify the means if the ends are honorable
and benefit the populus.
And think, I talk this way. I could (and should) be a psych major.
Okay, now Mamo-chan. He's automatically the Alpha Male here,
right? Wrong. He's supporting cast right now folks. You'll begin
to see his dominant and protective side in the second part as
Kenji demonstrates his magical powers of anal retention. Being
protector, he assumes responsibility for those he sees as weaker
or less fortunate.
Kenji, I don't know what his name means, I'm sorry. I couldn't find
the site I need to translate his name, but regardless. He didn't
have too big of a part in the first half of the story, but he will have a
significantly larger role in the second half. I'm warning you all now,
so I don't get too many flames on it later. Kenji has control issues.
His mother was left by his father and she dated a series of abusive
men. He grew up being the man of the house when she wasn't
dating anyone, then evolved into the thing he loathed the most, one
of the abusive boyfriends. He doesn't see it, though.
His obsession with Usagi stems from her innocence and perfection.
He saw something in her that he wanted so badly, that he had to
steal it all away. He's selfish, greedy, and manipulative, as well as
psychotic.
You have seen examples of his mental state in his delusions and
his experience with the voices in his head. He gets creepier.
Now for a bit of a teaser on the next part. This is "Time and Time
Again"

"My mistake was trusting you,
blood pig, for creating my fate."
-Otep "Blood Pigs"
"What a skeletal wreck of man this is."
-Corey Taylor "Omega"
"Can't you see that the damage is done,
I'm wiped away, nothing to say, you just
set me free to start again.
Where's my friends, I can't pretend,
I must be wrong, please check again,
just take my hand."
-Socialburn "Beautiful"
"Turn her over,
the candle is lit, I see through her.
Blow it out and
save all her ashes for me."
-Jack Off Jill "Strawberry Gashes"
"Overbearing panic attack
entrenching my veins
in an hour I'll be okay
and pray this pain will go away
permanently someday.
I've seen more than
I shold have to.
I've seen this on my own."
-TapRoot "Poem"
"Did you know when you're famous, you could kill your wife,
and there's no such thing as 25 to life,
as long as you've got the cash to pay for Cochran."
-Good Charlotte "Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous"

Usagi snapped out of her fear and snapped her neck around
the room, searching for her Mamo-chan. She found him, talking to
a fellow CEO, and she walked in feigned nonchalance.
She smiled slightly when he looked her way, and knew that
it had not reached her eyes. He creased his brow and excused himself
from the woman's company (AN:women can be CEOs *raspberry*).
"Usako, what's wrong?" he whispered in her ear, looking much
like a loving life partner. Usagi blushed at his nearness then very nearly
smacked herself with her bunny ear for her untimely thoughts.
Gathering her strength and will of character, she led Mamoru
out into the hall, pretending to steal away with her lover.
She pushed him against the wall and leaned close to him, in
a secretive special-operations officer way. She didn't know who could
be listening. 'Kenji may still be here.' That thought chilled her to her
very core, once again, churning her stomach in unease and fear.
Leaning up to his ear, she whispered, "He was and may still
be here, Mamo-chan."
Mamoru looked at her quizzically as she stepped back a bit.
'Kenji,' she mouthed. All at once, Mamoru's demeanor changed
from sweet and loving to fierce and protective. Suddenly, Mamoru's face
wore a mask of horror and pain. Usagi spun to see Kenji behind her
holding a gun with a large silencer on it, about ten feet away, on the foyer
stairs.
He raised the gun toward her and lightly pulled on the trigger...
*SNAP!*
Usagi's eyes opened and she cried out in terror. Ever since the
party, she'd been having these nightmares. In one, Mamoru and Kenji fought
in a warehouse, where he had dragged her away to. In another, Kenji died,
whispering how he'd loved Usagi and only wanted her to be happy with him.
Ikuko rushed into the room. "Another dream, Usa?" At the sight
of the tears filling Usagi's eyes, Ikuko swept to her bed and enfolded her
in her wonderful motherly arms, uttering soothing words. After an hour
of polysyllabic murmurs and silenced fears, Usagi looked up into her mom's
face.
"Mama, I'm so scared he'll come for me."
"Usagi, maybe... maybe you should get the police involved."
Usagi had thought about that. Kenji was one of the best officers on
the squad, though, and his comrades would more than happily cover for
him, calling her a slut and citing a history of violent acts and mysterious
disappearances.
Ikuko gazed down at her daughter's thoughtful face. "Darling, I
called into work for you, and the Dean indirectly told you to take a week
off, due to psychological stress. It could be affecting the baby. He's
sending papers for you to grade by the end of this week, full salary, and
a gift basket from the entire staff."
Usa looked about ready to cry again. Nodding, she slid to the
edge of her bed and placed her feet on the cold floor. "Mama, what would
you say to a day of shopping?"
With that, the girls set about to put their past behind them. Ikuko
had been reminded of her first boyfriend when Usagi came home. He had
been abusive and cruel, and Ikuko barely lived to meet her husband,
Toku (AN: HAHA! CHANGED THE NAME!!!).
Usagi was more intent on forgetting Kenji than ever. Besides, she
was getting bigger now, and needed to find maternity clothes in a bigger
size.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Kenji watched the scene from outside the house. He was in an
unmarked car across the street, looking through his rather conspicuous.
'Looks like they're going out, Kenji, mah boy.'
"Yes, it does, doesn't it?" he answered the voice in his head.
He lovingly named it Bruce. Bruce didn't like Usagi much, mostly because
Kenji hated the whore too.
'Ya think we should make with the following?' Bruce asked, assuming
a Brooklyn American accent. Even the voices in his head were fluent in American.
"Good idea, Bruce. Sometimes ya got the best ideas," Kenji replied, in
a voice devoid of emotion, save malice, in exactly the same accent.
As Ikuko and Usagi backed out of the driveway, Kenji surruptitiously
donned his Tokyo Uni Baseball cap and his Oakley wannabe sunglasses and
started the car. Slowly driving after then, he kept enough distance to not be
noticed.
But he would MAKE them notice him soon enough.
