Back in Tokyo
Motoki sighed, something didn't feel right. There was something wrong and he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Why was he feeling this way? Then a thought popped into his mind...why hadn't Usagi called him lately? He dropped everything he was doing and grabbed his cell phone; he dialed her cell number waiting for her to answer.
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
Motoki waited patiently for Usagi to answer her cell phone...
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
"I'm sorry, the number you called is not responding please call back at a later time, thank you." Motoki blew out a breath.
"Usagi what's going on?"
Yaten and Taiki rushed Usagi to the San Francisco hospital. When they had found her she was unconscious and was being robbed. They quickly kicked the guy's ass, hopefully setting him straight. They had heard Usagi's cell phone ring...but, they ignored it. As they ran into the emergency room, setting Usagi on a stretcher the phone once again rang. Taiki who had heard it first answered it.
Motoki couldn't help himself; he dialed her cell phone number again, this time getting an answer.
"Hello?" Came a male's voice. Wondering if he had somehow dialed the wrong number he spoke up.
"Hello, who's this?" Taiki raised an eyebrow.
"Is Usagi there?" Motoki asked not bothering to give his name. Taiki just sighed.
"No she's in the emergency room, she is having pregnancy problems. Who is this?" His eyes widened.
"Motoki." Taiki nodded, he had heard the name before. "Who is this?" Motoki asked.
"Taiki" Motoki didn't waste any time. Moving his phone to his other ear he spoke.
"Is Usagi going to be alright?" It was a simple question. Taiki ran his fingers through his hair.
"No telling." Motoki sighed.
"Damn..." He muttered. "Do you mind if I ask a favor?"
Taiki grinned.
"Nah, what is it?" Taiki listened attentively. "Can you tell me exactly where you are? I need to make sure she's ok." Taiki once again raised his eyebrow.
"Where are you now?"
"Tokyo" Taiki's mouth opened slightly.
"Tokyo, I don't know if she wants anyone here, unless she asked you to come."
Motoki sighed. "Uh...she wanted me there, for the baby's birth." Smiling, Taiki spoke.
"Well I think its ok, but she's been through a lot, so she's not in the best mood."
Motoki understood perfectly. All pregnant women were grumpy, and because of everything Usagi had been through it was expected.
"Please don't tell her I'm coming." Taiki chuckled.
"No problem." Hanging up shortly after that, Taiki shook his head.
"I hope I didn't do anything I'm gonna regret."
Usagi woke to a strong pain in her side, she was beginning to panic.
'Oh my god...please no! I'm not ready for this baby to come!' Usagi's mind raced, she could not believe this was happening.
Suddenly the door opened, and a male who looked like he was in his thirties walked through, holding up a clip-board.
"Ahhhh Serena you're awake." the doctor said. "I'm Dr. Greens; you had us all in a panicked when you were first brought here." Usagi nodded and closed her eyes at the brightness of the room.
"H...how long have I been here?" she asked, the doctor shrugged.
"Not very long, a couple of your friends brought you in, they said you had passed out on the sidewalk." Usagi looked down at her hands.
"Am I going to be ok?" she asked reluctantly.
"I think so, but you will have to stay here for a little while for examination." Usagi nodded as the doctor walked out of the room. Usagi still had questions to ask.
Motoki grabbed his car keys and drove down to the airport, determined to catch the first plane to San Francisco California that he could. Avoiding all of the traffic spots, he arrived ten minutes later.
Buying a ticket, Motoki waited patently for his plane when...someone tapped his shoulder.
"Motoki? What are you doing here?" The unknown male voice asked. Motoki turned around. His green eyes meeting deep blue ones.
"Mamoru? I should be asking you the same question." He stated biting down on his lip.
"Where are you headed, and why?" Mamoru asked. Smiling sheepishly Motoki began to chuckle at how ridiculous it was to had run in to him.
"Uh...to visit a friend." he stated flatly.
"What friend?" Motoki began to get annoyed.
"You don't know her." and it was true he didn't know her...anymore. Mamoru seemed unfazed.
"Ah I see, what plane are you catching?" Mamoru asked once again. Motoki looked down at his ticket.
"Flight 213" Motoki replied.
"Same here! We can sit together, and chat." Mamoru said. Motoki breathed in slowly.
"Awesome…" he said slightly above a whisper. He was stuck with the man that had broken his best friend's heart.
"I guess were stuck with each other"
"Just like old times eh buddy?" Mamoru asked. Motoki sighed. "I guess".
Motoki and Mamoru boarded the plane, just how exactly was Motoki going to keep Mamoru from the truth about Usagi?
Soon their plane had arrived. They boarded and sat.
During the flight, Motoki tried paying attention to what Mamoru was telling him, but unfortunately he was on the verge of smothering Mamoru with the pillow the sturdiest had given him. He was still very pissed at Mamoru and He wasn't sure if he could last 16 hours with him sitting next to him. He didn't know if he could keep the secrets of Usagi whereabouts a secret either.
He still didn't know where Mamoru was going and he wasn't sure if he even wanted to know. What if he knew where Usagi was hiding and was going to see her? What if he was going to work at the same hospital that Usagi was staying at? Or what if He didn't know anything and was going to be with someone other than Usagi? What if Usagi saw and found out?
"Hey Mamoru...? Where are you headed?" Motoki asked hesitantly..
"I'm going to see a friend, she lives in San Francisco." He replied. Motoki's face grew pale; could this person possibly be Usagi?
"Do I know this person?" Motoki asked casually.
"Not to my knowledge." Mamoru said.
"Where you headed?" Mamoru asked. "Uh...to see a friend, she's having a baby." Motoki said blankly. On the upside it wasn't a lie.
"Tell her I say congratulations." Motoki nodded.
"Will do."
16 hours and a terribly made movie later they had reached their destination.
"Well bud I guess I'll see ya 'round" Mamoru said patting Motoki on the back. "Don't get into trouble" Motoki smiled.
"You know me…" Mamoru walked away. Motoki rented a car.
He
was driving like a mad man, he wasn't watching where he was going, he just wanted to see Usagi.
As he approached the hospital, Motoki began to feel nervous. After all he hadn't seen Usagi since the day she had left, almost six months ago.
Motoki approached the front desk, when a man who appeared to be about the same age as he was yelled his name. Motoki turned.
"Motoki am I correct?" Motoki smiled his sincerest smile of the day.
"Uh...yeah you must be Taiki…" Motoki said putting out his hand to shake. Taiki nodded.
"Yeah that's me, come on I'll show you to Usagi's room. Oh, but don't call her Usagi she's known here as Serena." Motoki nodded and preceded to Usagi...or rather Serena's room.
As Motoki opened the door to her room, his breath became shallower with every step. Her hair was different, her skin was darker, and it looked like she had become a totally different person. She slowly opened her eyes and gasped.
"Motoki...?" Usagi asked staring wide eyed.
"What...how...when?" she asked, word unable to form.
Motoki grinned, she looked so different, it was almost as if he had never met her before.
"I just got in this morning, I was worried about you." He said refusing to look into Usagi's blue orbs, not wanting to see the tears that he knew she was shedding. He was afraid if he looked, he might run to her, try to hold her, and never let her go.
"Please tell me you're the only one here?" She pleaded.
"No Worries Usa, or shall I say Serena" He smiled finally meeting her gaze. There was suddenly a long silence.
"I...I really missed you" Usagi said, tears of utter joy streaming down her face.
"I missed you too" Motoki said, tears were also forming in his emerald eyes. He walked up to her bed and grabbed her hand.
"How...How long will you be here?" Usagi asked. Motoki smiled.
"As long as you want me to be here..."
