Chapter II

Usagi rested her chin on her hand. The other deftly stirring the strawberry shake with the straw. The bar was quite empty, and the sky was darkening.

"What do I do now?" she inhaled roughly. Two hours had passed since her senshi's little incident, and Usagi, was not yet ready to face them yet.

"Usako! The girls been looking all over for yo..." Mamoru had enetered the restourant, looking stressed, but paused at the door. It was raining, rather heavily, and Mamoru was soaked. "Usagi?" he stepped in and frowned. Usagi ignored his presence and was siping at her shake. Confused, he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Usagi!" She turned her head to him.

"What is it?" His eyes widened , he reached for something to lean on. Suddenly feeling a pang of hurt.

"hey listen bub, I'm not in the mood, why not go bother Rei for a while." She stood and glared at him, ever so cooly, she walked past him and left the shop. Mamoru remained staring at her empty stool. 'w-what just h- happened????' regaining his posture, he shifted, then ran after her. Usagi sighed 'Do I go home?' she sighed again and suddenly gasped.

"What the..." her arm was tightly clutched by a hand. She turned and angrily snarled at Mamoru. "What the hell is your problem, man!!" she struggled against him.

"Usagi, what the hell has gotten into you!?!?" His impatience and anger, was ripe with burst.

"I hate you, I hate you all!! Why can't anyone leave me alone!!!!" She screamed at his face. His eyes gleamed for a second, and for a moment, she was about to retract her words. The naked hurt in his eyes turned his ovean blue eyes black. But she just looked away. 'No!, I'm tired of this crap. I'm not backing out so easily, not this time!'

"Let go of me, you bastard!!!" and unbelievingly, he did the unexpected. He leaned in and hugged her tightly to him. His voice shook.

"Usagi , tell me.......why are you doing this?" She was stiff. She felt him shake against her. "Serenity..." Her eyes widened, and fiercly, she pushed at him.

"Don't you dare!!! You two-time me! You play with me!! You have no right!!!" Clutching her tighter, he bit his lip.

"please...," she laughed cyniclly. "Are you seriouse. You believe your being honest in this little charade?" He closed his eyes and let go of her. He gave a teary smile.

"Yeah, your right. I suppose.... That maybe its as easy as you make it seem. How easy it is to discard memories..."

SLAP

"You asshole! What the fuck I wrong with you? I'm not stupid. Don't fuck around with me!" His head remained facing to a side. His fists formed into tight fists.

"ooooh, is little Mamo-koo sad? Come on Chiba, be yourself. After everything...I know your just dying to tell me you love me in hopes I'll fall all over you, again." He raimed emotionless and unmoving. He whispered softly.

"Just like you." She stepped back.

"You don't know me...."

"Ditto." He turned to her angrily. This was unexpected. An angry Mamoru Chiba. She tilted her head to a side.

"ok, what is it that you want from me?" He looked at her, up and down. Scanning her with his eyes.

"It doesn't matter anymore, I can get it from Rei, she'll be happier doing it than you." ( A/N: Now, this could be taken one of two ways. 1)love, 2) sex. Choose the one that you think it is, and see if it fits w/ the story.) She was gaping at him. Her chin barely touching the ground.

"Oh, by the way, liars aren't part of the list of the qualities I like in a girl, so, its all the same to me."

"I'm not a liar!!!"He stared at her, meaninglessly.

"But you lie constantly." She ganged up on him.

"How so??????"

"You always tell me you love me. Now, I think from you now is that you are. Unless you actually do." She squinted her eyes.

"I don't love you." He stared at her and lifted an eyebrow. His eyes remaining blackish.

"So you are a liar." She squared her jaw and smiled. "As you would have been if I hadn't done something."

"English , please." "with wich sailorscout or friend of mine, would you not have bedded while married to me?" He stiffened.

"So what now, are you going to ingore us all, or are you going to leave Tokyo?" Her eyes strayed.

"I was planning to go and stay with Seiya and the gang..."

"That's pretty far away, and the poparatzzi would love your head on a silver platter." She sneered.

"Whats your point, Chiba?" Hi sighed, and walked around in circles a bit.

"You could stay with me..."

"Your kidding." He rolled his eyes.

"You can leave when you have money to go somewhere. For now, you can stay at my apartment. I'm most of the time out, so..."

(A/N: bwahahahaha. Cliffhanger!!!!! Will she go with him? Or reject him? Review on what you think should be done! Oh, and chapter 1 and this one were finally changed thanx to the persistancy and my sweaty and throbbing hands. it was finally done. hope every one is happy.
