Rating: yep, still PG.


Oh my gosh, thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story! I am trying to make the chapters longer, guys, but I only have short spouts of insperation. Gomen. Okay, here's the fourth chapter. Hope it is to your liking.




I didn't say a word. Where was I? Why was HE here with me? And, oh my god, did I look alright?
"You've been out for a few hours," he said as he walked into the room and stood beside the
bed. "How do you feel?"
"I, uh, I-" and I stopped there. He was actually being nice to me. I felt a sense of suspicion rise in my stomach. What, in the name of the Moon, was going on?
He gave me a wonderful smile and sat on the edge of the bed. "Your friends are coming over. They'll be here any moment now."
Tha's when the past events came flooding back. "Nani?!" I screamed as I sat up in the bed. "I don't want them here. I want to go home and not be seen by anyone." My head was pounding and I felt faint. I didn't want to see my friends. Mamoru probably told them what I said and they would be all sorry and everything would change for two days at the most. But then, it would all go back to normal. They would start calling me names again and... oh, God, no. They would tell me I was being selfish and-
"Usagi?"
Mamoru's concerned voice cut me from my thoughts. I looked up at him through narrowed eyes. For some reason, I didn't trust him.
'Maybe becasue he is always teasing you and has never said a kind word to you.' a voice said in my head.
'But he does seem concered,' another voice said.
'Right," said the first voice. "It's all a facade.'
'I don't think it is,' the second voice answered back.
'Shut up!" I screamed in my head at the two voices. 'I'll make my own decision here.'
I looked into Mamoru's eyes and studied them. He did seem concerned. But, why?
"Usagi?" he said again. "Are you okay?"
I smirked (yes, me, sweet little Usagi, smirked). "Oh, I'm fine. I just sat in the rain, crying my heart out for who knows how long and I feel fine and dandy."
He gulped. "Listen, Usagi. About that." He played with the comforter and wouldn't make eye contact with me. "I never realized how much it hurt you when I called you those names. I just assumed that you just brushed it off like you did with everyone else."
"Yeah, well, it was everyone else that made me so mad." I told him. "I shouldn't have taken my anger and frustrations out on you."
"Gomen." we both said at the same time.
He blushed and I giggled nervously.
"And," I continued. "You know what happens when you assume."
He looked up at me with raised eyebrows. "Nani?"
"You make an ass of you and me."
He smiled and nodded. "Hai, I guess I did."
I grinned. "Hai, you did."
There was a knock at the main door of the apartment I was in, I was guessing that the apartment was his.
He looked into my eyes. "Those are your friends. I can tell them that you don't want to see them if you want."
I sighed and shook me head. "Iie, let them in."
He left the room I was in and I heard him open the door. I heard Rei's voice right away. "Gods, where is she, Mamoru-san? Is she alright?"
"She's not seriously injured, is she?" That was Ami.
"Calm down, minna." Minako interjected. "Usagi's tough. She puts up with us four, doesn't she? She's probably fine."
"Hai," Makoto said. "Usagi's tougher than all of us put together."
I felt myself blush. They, were saying that about me? I shook my head. Iie, Maoru probably already told them what I said and they just felt bad.
"Usagi is fine." Mamoru said. "Just a bit tired. She's had a big day."
"Nani?" Rei asked. "After she ran off, we couldn't find her. Was she with you?"
I gasped. They didn't know where I was. So, Mamoru hadn't told them? Why?








Why indeed. Hey, even I don't know yet ^_^. Hope it was a bit longer. I feel a tad sick right now, so I'm gonna go lay down and then eat some food! Thanks again to all my readers and especially to my loyal friends who stick by me through everything. You know who you are ^_-
