Usagi walked away from Mamoru-baka's apartment. The sudden rainstorm made it easier for her to hide her tears, but she wished that had brought a jacket with her. She decided that since the crown arcade was closer than her house she would stop there and maybe the rain would stop before she had to go home.
The arcade was fairly empty and Motoki was falling asleep at the counter. "Hey Usagi," he passed a couple of dish towels to help dry her off. "How did things go at Mamoru's?" Usagi looked up at him and he could tell she'd been crying.
"Things were going fine until suddenly he flipped and told me to get out of his apartment."
Motoki could see Usagi was trying to hold back more tears. He was surprised to hear the Mamoru flipped out at Usagi. It would be a hard to believe that he would flip out at anyone, but Usagi? Mamoru would never do that. Motoki went to get Usagi a hot chocolate and tried to figure out what would Mamoru so angry that he would kick Usagi out of his place. Mamoru may be secretive and mysterious, but one thing Motoki was he liked Usagi. Although Motoki wasn't sure if Mamoru had figured that out yet.
He gave Usagi her hot chocolate and tried to figure out what happened. "What were you guys talking about before he snapped?" 'Maybe that will help.'
Usagi took a sip of her drink, "Nothing, I just him were his parents were."
'Bingo!'
"Then he started yelling at me to get out," she wrapped her cold fingers around the mug.
"I know why he got mad, it's not your fault." Motoki took a deep breath, "his parents died when he was six, he's been alone ever since."
Usagi suddenly felt really bad, "I...I didn't know."
"Don't worry, not many people do."
"I have to go apologise." Usagi quickly got up.
"It's getting late Usagi, go home. You can apologise to him tomorrow. I have the day off tomorrow so we can both go visit him."
She smiled then left to go home.
Usagi shivered as she walked home. The had not let up, if anything it was more intense. She was relieved when her home came into sight. When she entered her house her mom was waiting for her with a towel.
"Usagi I've been so worried about you," she wrapped the towel around the soaking wet Usagi. "Rei phoned over an hour ago she said you left the arcade three hours ago."
"It's a long story," Usagi replied, "I'll tell you about it tomorrow I promise, but right now I feel really tired so I'm gonna go to bed."
Ikuko looked worriedly at her daughter, "don't you want dinner first? You must be hungry."
"No I'm alright," Usagi began to walk up the stairs to her room.
"Oh! I just remembered, Rei wanted to meet you at the arcade tomorrow at one." Ikuko called up to Usagi.
"Ok, and if Motoki phones tell him I'll meet him at three at the arcade." Usagi changed out of her wet school uniform into her dry pink bunny pyjamas. She crawled into bed with her cay Luna lying at the foot of her and turned off the light. 'I'm glad tomorrow's Saturday,' she thought before drifting off to sleep.
Mamoru laid on his couch staring up at the ceiling. The soup that Usagi had brought sat forgotten on his table. He was feeling much better than he was earlier. Well he was feeling less sick anyway. He still felt bad about what he said to Usagi. He contemplated phoning her several times, but couldn't bring himself to actually do it. He was afraid that if he phoned she'd just tell him how much she hated him. He looked at the clock on his VCR. It was too late to call her anyways. 'I'll do it in the morning,' he thought to himself. He smiled at the thought of talking to Usagi and drifted into a blissful sleep.
