Chapter One: Deliver Me From Pain
Yohji frowned faintly at the name.. It sounded familiar. "I see" he mumbled. He noticed her standing in an odd position favoring her left foot. "What's wrong?"
Usagi managed a faint smile. "I think I broke something every time I move it I feel pain." She looked up at her burning home again and bowed her head. "I can't believe it where am I going to stay now?"
Yohji was busy tending to her foot and wasn't really listening. "Friends? Family?"
Usagi shook her head. "Iie I have no friends. Mamo-chan wouldn't let me out of the house without him. I know it was for my protection demo I lost so many friends the day we were married. I haven't seen them since that day. As for family my little brother is all that is left and I haven't talked to him in a long time. I don't even know where he lives."
Yohji smiled and before Usagi could react he picked her up and cradled her in his arms. "Then your choice is obvious, ne?"
Usagi frowned at him, "Why are you carrying me?" She felt so strange having contact with anyone. She really hadn't left the apartment in all that time so besides Mamoru she hadn't had any human contact.
"It seems you shattered the bones in your ankle why don't you seem to be in pain though?"
'The Ginzuishou' Usagi managed a tight smile. "Just high pain tolerance I guess"
Yohji didn't seem convinced but he merely shrugged. "I'll take you to the hospital once I get back to my car."
Usagi wrinkled her nose at him, "Don't don't worry I'll heal anyway I always do. Besides the people that did that to my home and Mamo-chan might still be around." Her head drooped as she realized her husband was dead. Her future ruined.
Yohji noticed the sudden depression appear in Usagi's eyes and awkwardly hugged her. "Don't worry just be glad you got out."
Usagi sighed and nodded. She realized they were approaching a flower shop and she glanced up at him amused, "Koneko house?" she asked. "I wouldn't think you the type to work in a flower house"
Yohji merely smirked at her. "An average man can work anywhere but it takes a real man like me to work at a flower shop," he informed her with a wink.
Usagi stuck her tongue out at response and stiffened as she felt a jolt of pain as Yohji shifted her around so he could open the door. Sure the Ginzuishou was healing her and kept her from feeling the intense pain but there were times when the pain hit her full force. "Itai," she whimpered burying her head in Yohji's chest as she struggled not to gasp in pain.
Yohji glanced down at her in concern, "Daijoubu?"
She nodded. "Hai It's just my foot was brushed against the door and it was kind of painful."
Yohji looked thoughtful for a moment. He couldn't open the door without hurting the girl in his arms and he wasn't about to leave her on the sidewalk. He scowled and looked around for one of his fan girls in the hopes he could get her to open the door for him. A deeper scowl appeared as he realized it was after hours and everyone was gone.
Usagi looked around. "You can't enter because of me, can you?"
Yohji shook his head, "Not without jarring your foot"
The answer to their problems was solved when a young looking man with brownish blonde hair stepped out of the shop. "Yohji-kun!"
Yohji sighed, "Hold the door open would you, Omi?"
Omi nodded his eyes wide in shock. "Is she okay, Yohji-kun?"
Yohji ignored the question and carefully took Usagi through the door. He sighed as he realized he'd either have to take her to his room or the mission room. Knowing what kind of reaction he'd get for either he settled he'd rather have her yelling at him then all of the guys.
"Arigato, Omi-san," Usagi commented with a smile.
Omi flushed and bowed his head before realizing the blood coating her. "Daijoubu?" he asked in concern.
Yohji simply nodded as he led the way to his room. "She's fine it's not her blood."
"Whose is it then?" Omi asked puzzled.
"My husband's," Usagi answered her head bowing as she began to softly cry.
Omi winced at the glare Yohji was now giving him. "Gomen nasai I'll go call Manx and ask if she can bring something over for you to wear"
Usagi shook her head, "Iie ne do you have any extra clothes?"
Yohji frowned, "There's no way someone as beautiful as you is going to wear Omi's clothes," he scolded.
Usagi stared at him for a moment unaware her cheeks had started to flame. She turned her head to the side and met the cold impersonal eyes of a redhead as he entered the room. "Who is she, Yohji?"
Yohji froze and almost winced. "Not who you think, Aya"
Omi came back clutching an extra pair of clothes and smiled sweetly at her. "Can you walk?"
Usagi shook her head her eyes shadowed, "Iie when I fell from the building I think I really hurt myself."
Omi's eyes widened. "Fell?"
Usagi nodded. "Hai right before the explosion the wooden plant holder I was on broke and I fell through."
Aya frowned, "Explosion?"
Usagi winced as the Ginzuishou seemed to fluctuate between protecting her from the pain and quitting entirely. 'What's happening?'
'Just because we missed you this time doesn't mean your safe. We'll get you later, wait and see.'
Usagi looked around puzzled. "Nani?" she mumbled as she searched for the voice. Sudden realization struck and she gasped, "T that was"
"Usagi-san?" Omi asked in concern.
Usagi managed a faint smile though her eyes were cloudy with confusion. "Gomen nasai, Omi-kun I just thought I heard something."
Aya stared coldly at her. "She can't stay."
Yohji scowled, "She's not a dog, Aya."
Aya simply shook his head. "She can't stay"
Omi watched Yohji stalk off with the redhead to argue and he winced. "Gomen nasai about those two, Usagi-san. Can I get you anything?"
Usagi shook her head, "Iie"
"Would would you mind telling me what happened?" he asked.
Usagi yawned and struggled to keep her eyes open. "Gomen ne" she sighed and hugged her knees as she felt tears starting to make their presence felt again. "I'll tell later I promise right now I just need time to figure out what I'm going to do."
Omi nodded in total understanding, "I understand. I'll let you get some rest and don't worry about having a place to stay. You can stay with us for a while."
Usagi flushed and nodded. "Hahai. Oyasumi," she whispered before lying down and letting her eyes close.
Omi smiled at her still form before turning and closing the door. He jumped startled as Ken appeared. "Ken-kun," he commented with a smile. "O-negai stay out of Yohji-kun's room, ne?" he asked politely before stalking off.
Ken blinked for a moment and struggled to not let his curiosity be revealed. He made his way to the mission room and paused as he saw Yohji glaring at Aya. "Anno what's up?" he asked looking at his two team mates.
Yohji shrugged and lit a cigarette with another glare at the team's unofficial leader. "We're discussing something"
Aya shook his head again, "We can't be responsible for anyone. Take her back to where ever you got her."
Yohji scowled, "You mean the trash?"
Ken struggled not to chuckle but ended up losing it, "What do you mean by that?"
Yohji sighed. "I was taking trash out when an explosion happened in the building across from the bin. That girl was on the ledge of the plant holder and it broke beneath her. The explosion threw her into the other side of the alley and she landed into the trash."
"Then take her to a friend or relative," Aya demanded his voice always at that steely level tone.
Yohji slumped down on the couch and let his head fall back over the top edge. "Listen, she has no friends and she doesn't know where her only remaining relative even lives. If you want to get rid of her so bad you talk to her and find a place for her to stay."
Ken looked between the two and sighed. It was obvious they were going to continue ignoring him. With a sigh he turned around and headed for Yohji's room. After all that had to be where the mystery girl was.
