Usagi sat worriedly across from Motoki at the arcade,

"Oni-san, he hasn't been in for a whole week?"

"No Usa-chan...I'm really worried. He isn't answering

his phone calls either..."

Motoki took her slender hand in his own, "Usagi-chan,

he has class now, will you go just look for him

and see if he's alright? Please? For me?"

"Of course! Don't worry Motoki, teasing me will

cheer him up if he's sad...I'm sure he's just been

busy with studies lately."

"I hope so. I just have a bad feeling...."

Usagi frowned and hurried away to Mamoru's school.

She hadn't crashed into him in a week...and she had

to admit, she missed it.

Where *was* the baka lately anyway?

She rounded a corner and spotted him quite suddenly.

She couldn't believe how quickly she found him...as though

just thinking about him brought her there...

He was walking slowly, almost dejectedly. In his hand

was a paper covered in red ink. As she approached he

crumpled it and threw it over his head, where it promptly

hit her in the face.

Ah the irony of it all.

"Usagi was about to laugh when she unfolded it and read

the grade...an F...Mamoru had gotten an F..."

Her eyes widened and she hurried to catch him up--it wasn't

difficult.

"Mamoru?"

He turned with surprise at the sound of her voice and she

promptly crashed into him head on, knocking them both to the

ground.

He lay dazedly beneath her, "O-Odango?"

Her eyes narrowed at his pale face and tired expression....

something was not right here....

"Mamoru!" She held up the test, "You got an F? How did

you get an F?"

He looked at it wearily and shut his eyes, "I didn't study...why

do you care anyway Odango?"

Usagi's eyes widened, "You...you didn't study? YOU! I don't

believe this!"

She scurried off of him and pulled him to a sit, "Baka! Are

you sick?"

A slender hand touched his forehead and he jerked away,

"No, I'm not. Just leave me alone Usa....why are you at my school anyway?"

Usagi stared at him in surprise...did he just call her...Usa??

"Motoki-oni-san is worried about you." She said softly.

Mamoru almost looked regretful, wincing, "You can tell

him I'm fine."

"I told him you were probably busy studying...but.." She held

up the test, "...you're not..."

She leaned closer as they stood, "Mamoru, what's wrong?"

He frowned and gruffly pushed her away, "Nothing. I told

you. Now leave me alone already!"

He stomped away, leaving her with the failed test.

Usagi bit her quivering bottom lip.

Something was terribly wrong...but what?
