On The Run
Part: Three
Rating: PG
Later that afternoon I woke up from a nap in Mamoru's bedroom stretched and yawned in the light of the setting sun. It was beautiful. The sunset I mean, all pink
and purple, and orange and gold; a few clouds drifting across the nearly empty sky. The apartment was quiet.
"Mamo-chan? Where are you?"
I swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood up. I made my way across the room, and out into the living room.
"Mamo-chan?"
He wasn't in the kitchen, and then I saw a silhouette out on the balcony. So that's where he was. The curtains were blowing gently in the evening breeze, and the radio was playing a slow love song, but I could only faintly make out the music. I slowly walked across the room and slipped out the half open doors. Mamoru was leaning against
the railing and staring out into space. I walked up beside him and leaned on the railing also, in a copycat pose.
"It's really beautiful, isn't it?" Mamoru said softly, not turning to look at me.
I felt a pang in my heart. Those were the same words that he had said the day he broke up with me. I felt tears in my eyes, and blinked them back. That was only yesterday.
'Snap out of it Usagi,' I scolded myself, 'You're only here to get some protection..' There was silence for a long time, and then I spoke.
"Mamo-chan, why are you so quiet? Why don't you speak to me?"
He was silent a while longer, then turned to me,
"Usagi, please don't call me 'Mamo-chan' anymore, it..it's not right...it's a form of affection that is no longer...so don't ok?"
I was shocked...and my heart didn't fare much better. It was slowly breaking, the last few threads of hope that I had held on to in our getting back together, and letting
the whole thing be just one big misunderstanding. A tear trickled down
my cheek, and I turned away to look out at the last rays of sun.
"Oh..ok..Mamoru-san..." I said using the formal term for someone older then you, and I could tell that it hurt him for me to be so blunt, but he had hurt me to. in much more permanent ways.
"I'm sorry to bother you, I was just a little scared last night, you don't really need to come to my apartment...I'll be fine on my own."
And with that, I headed inside, and to the kitchen. I got myself a glass of water, and absently pulled the little pill bottle from my pocket. My head was spinning from Mamoru's words and I had a headache. I opened the pill bottle and tapped out a single
white tablet. Then, downing it with the water, I walked toward the living room to sit down, but my head was spinning worse then before.....
I staggered across the room, and crashed into the wall. The glass fell from my hand and crashed to the floor, where it shattered getting Mamoru's attention.
He spun around, and called out, "Usagi? What's going on?", as he pulled back the curtains.
Meanwhile I felt my pounding head get heavy, and I crashed to the floor, face first, landing on my left side with my arms sprawled above my head. But the pain that I felt from that was nothing compared to what I felt after taking the pill. Lucky for me, I passed out soon after.
"Usagi? Usagi!!"
Maomru shouted, as he ran into the living room and rolled her over. He took her pulse and finding it strong, and her breathing still even, he breathed a sigh of relief. But that still didn't explain why she had just keeled over in the middle of his living room. He found the broken glass, and smelled the contents. It was only water. Gathering the petite blond in his arms, he hurried to his car. He had to get her to the hospital.
***********************************
A doctor walked down the hall and into the waiting room where a very concerned, and very anxious Chiba Mamoru.
"Well, we found traces of the drug PF133* in her. Have any idea where she could have got that? She doesn't look the type to do hard drugs."
Mamoru stiffened.
"She doesn't do drugs." He said through clenched teeth, "She got some pills from a friend, and he told her that they were aspirin. She only had 2, and she only took one. She didn't know what they really were..." He was babbling and he knew it.
He snapped his mouth shut, and quickly asked the doctor if he could see Usagi. The doctor pointed him down the hall..last room on the left. Silently he opened the door. Usagi was lying in a bed by the window. Her eyes were closed.
***********************************
I heard him come in, but kept my eyes closed. I didn't want to see him, as much as I knew he didn't want to see me. I always caused so much trouble. He sat down on the edge of my bed, and brushed the bangs off my face. I couldn't resist, and I turned toward him, and opened my eyes.
'I love you so much Mamo-chan ... why do you hate me? Why do I keep doing things to make you hate me more? I'm such a little kid ... that must be why you don't love me anymore.'
And with that thought I opened me mouth and whispered..
"Mamoru-san ... I've decided that you don't need to come stay with me ... I'll be fine on my own ... I'm not a baby."
"Are you sure you don't want me to come, Usagi-chan?"
He called me 'chan'*, why doesn't he treat me that way then?
"Hai, I'm sure. I'll give you a call if I need anything, alright?"
He looked saddened when I confirmed that I did indeed not want him to stay with me. Well, I was hurting more then he could imagine. I just wanted to go home, take a long hot bath, and curl up with an old western romance, where the girl would be feeling
the same way I did now. Only the girl in the book would have a happy ending....unlike me....I sighed.
Mamoru looked out the window, and then back to me.
"The Sensei* says that you only have to stay here over night, he gave you some medicine to flush out the drugs ... then you can go home . do you need a ride?"
I couldn't stand to be with him longer then I had too, because I knew that if I did, I would surely start crying and beg him to come back to me. Sure, that would get results ... he'd just tell me that I was acting like a little kid again. I sniffed, as a few tears slipped down my cheeks. I stared up at him, and shook my head.
Then he left.
I stared out the window and soon fell asleep. When I woke again it was early morning ... I seemed to be doing that a lot lately ... sleeping the days away. I checked out at the front desk and then called a cab.
When I got home I walked into my apartment, and changed into a short, flouncy black skirt, and sleeveless white tank top that showed my midriff. I slipped on a socks and my fuzzy pink slippers, and then let my hair down. I and brushed it until it gleamed.
then got a cup of coco and settled down in front of the T.V. to watch my favorite movie "The Princess Bride".
Later I got a phone call from Mamoru....I agreed to let him come over....he said that he would only be a minute, and that I had left my jacket at his apartment. A moment after I hung up...I realized that I hadn't been wearing a jacket when I was at his place. I grabbed the phone and tried to call him back, but all I got was a busy signal...oh well, I'll just head him off, and then go home. I headed outside, finding it to be late afternoon. Really, where do my days go? I headed along the deserted streets of the central park, sighing sadly.
"I really miss you Mamo-chan."
*************************************
Mamoru was headed along central street, coming close to the park, when he noticed Usagi...a long way away...because of the golden hair that hung down to her knees. He also noticed a black van. Its windows were painted black too. It seemed to be following her.at a distance...but it looked suspicious just the same. Stepping up his pace he caught up to Usagi and placed his hand on her arm. She jerked around with a gasp.
************************************
"Mamo-ch-..ano*..Mamoru-san! You scared me!" I cried. If only I knew what Mamoru was thinking at that moment.
'I didn't mean too.Usako. I just want to hold you and kiss you until the cows come home.but you'reonly 16! I'm 20! This just won't work out.' Mamoru thought.
"Usagi, I don't mean to scare you...but I think that the black van behind you is following you-- don't turn around!" He hissed. Of course I did just that...then latched myself onto Mamoru's arm and whispered frantically,
"Who is it Mamoru? What do they want? Is it the man from the store?" I was starting to panic, "Mamoru.please don't let him get me!"
Mamoru looked at Usagi. She was breathing hard and her eyes were wild. He suddenly slipped his arm around my waist, and whispered assurances in my ea; of his promise to protect me...
"Usagi if that van stops, for any reason, I want you to run! And don't wait for me...I'll be right behind you...ok?"
"Ok."
Just then I heard a car door slam...
"RUN USAGI!" Mamoru shouted shoving me forward.
I stumbled for a moment, and then ran hard, my feet pounding on the pavement. I could hear the shouts of many men as they descended on Mamoru.
When I was about a block away, I chanced a look back, to see where Mamoru was. At the same moment, the 3 men stepped back and turned toward me, reveling Mamoru's crumpled body.laying on the ground. A scream tore from my throat as I ran for him.
"NOOOOO!!!! Mamo-chan!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Mamoru got to his knees and saw Usagi running toward him and the others.
"No! Usagi! Go the other wa-"
He was cut off as he was joint attacked, being kicked in the stomach and punched in the jaw by a fist and foot that came out of nowhere.
I threw a kick at one of the men and blocked a punch from another...my karate training paying off. However, I failed to notice the third man sneak up behind me...and pull a knife.
Mamoru saw Usagi fending off the punches that the 2 burly men kept throwing at her and saw the man behind her.
"Usagi!" He shouted...and she started to turn, but was grabbed around the waist by the man with the knife, and then he pressed it against her throat. She froze as her back slammed against rock hard muscles.
"Don't think that I won't use this little girl." the man said in my ear, his voice low and deadly.
With that Mamoru blacked out, his last thoughts of Usagi's terrified face.and of what he would do to the man if he hurt her in anyway.
The van door was opened and the men got inside. Usagi's capture lowered his weapon and gestured at her to get inside the van also. Spotting an empty corner she I sat in it drawing my knees up against my chest and doing my best not to cry. I looked around the van and saw that about 5 men were crowded into the back with me. They all held weapons.knives and guns seemed to be the favorites. They were all leering at me...and it terrified me. Suddenly, the one closest to me, leaned over and whispered in me ear,
"Hey baby, why don't you let ol' Tsuzuki here show you a good time..." He grinned, bringing his face, and alcohol breath, close to mine. Than he reached forward and caressed my cheek. I was revolted, and not only by his breath. I jerked my head back, and Tsuzuki laughed, along with the others, as he sat back down. A moment later a different man called up to the driver,
"Oi**, Yuu, this is a pretty little piece of meat you got here!" Yuu laughed and the others all joined in, making crude comments about my legs and such. I hugged my knees closer, buried my face in my arms, and cried softly.
Soon the van stopped and the side door opened. I nearly fell as the driver, Yuu, grabbed my arm and pulled me out. As soon as my feet touched the ground someone
grabbed me from behind, and my hands were pulled behind my back and tied tightly.
Then a blindfold was placed over my eyes. Next someone took hold of my arms
and I felt myself being dragged forward.
We walked across the room where the van was parked, and I guessed that it was a garage of some sort. A squeak sounded, and I heard a door being opened. I was then led down a long hallway. Another door opened, I was pulled down another hall, and then
through one last door. That's where we stopped. Suddenly I felt hands on my back and I was shoved forward. I fell with a startled cry, and hit the concrete floor on my right side, with a painful thump. A moment later the door opened again and footsteps echoed across the floor. They stopped near me.
Then I heard the voice.
It was the same voice as the man who had attacked me in the video store.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Seems to me that you're not as tough as you think you are, girl. I'll make this simple, you give me what's mine and I'll let you go. No questions asked, and no one gets hurt. Deal?"
I knew he was lying...but what could I do? Then I remembered taking the pill at Mamoru's apartment, earlier yesterday morning. Was that what he wanted? A moment later I felt hands on me as my pockets were emptied.
"Hey boss, she doesn't have them."
It was Tsuzuki's voice. I'm sure he enjoyed having to 'search' me. I shuddered in disgust.
Mamoru must have taken them when I was in the hospital! I started to shake. Now they would kill me for sure!
The footsteps sounded closer again, and I felt a foot nudge me roughly in the stomach.
"Hmm.so you don't have them, eh sweetheart? Where did you put them? Does your boyfriend have them?"
"I...I.don't know..." I was having trouble forming words at that moment. "P-please don't hurt me..."
"I don't think so baby... See, those pills were very important to me, and I need them. So I'm afraid that you'll just have to stay with us for a while...I'll give you 2 days ...until sunset on Thursday, to get them to me...or else I'd start worrying about what I'm going to do to you..." I felt a finger tracing a line across my throat, and flinched drawing my body into a ball.
"Take her to the storage room on the north end, I'll deal with her later."
With that I was pulled to my feet and forced down the halls again. I slipped once, and tried to conceal the gasp of pain that my throbbing left arm was causing, after the
man who was leading me yanked me to my feet. After a few minutes we stopped again.
A door opened, and I was shoved forward. I stumbled a few steps, and waited for the men to follow me. I heard the door slam shut, and a key turn in the lock. The room I was in, was nearly dark, except for window form the door and the single, dim, light bulb that hung from the ceiling. I sat myself down against the far wall and shivered in the cool room. The men's voices floated down the hall as they left. They were talking about looking for someone...I caught two snatches of their conversation as they disappeared...
"....if he's still alive...he'll trade it for her..."
The two laughed, and then they were gone. I felt utterly helpless. Was Mamoru even alive? With that sobering though, I lowered my head and let sobs shake my body.
