Okay, I know I already wrote a rape fic, but I found this one in my notebook. I totally even
forgot I had written it. Though this one has an arc that I'm sure is quite enjoyable. The
arc even surprised me when I was reading it. SO I figured this was definitely one I would
have to finish.
This is an alternate reality fic, there is no Tuxedo Kamen and SailorMoon. There is a
case where I used the English translation of the name cause the subs I saw no longer
had this person. And that's Ms. H so I figured I'd keep it with that so no sue me ^_^.

* Chapter 1 *
***************
The girl couldn't believe she was actually walking alone down the street. So many
times in the past three years she even stopped herself from even leaving her
apartment. As soon as she'd step out she would see *THAT* face.
The girl could still see his eyes, they were the greenest she had ever seen.
Though she remembers little about him, the eyes are always appearing to her.
All her friends now were wearing his eyes. All she could hope for was that they
would soon disappear.
As she walked down the street she could hear footsteps behind her. She
quickened her pace hoping that they would soon fade. But she was wrong,
they quickened with her. In a moment of panic she took to a jog, her sloppy
ponytail whipping around behind her.
"Hey Usagi, wait up!" Usagi recognized the voice and came to a halt. Usagi
turned to find a woman with short red hair, running up to meet her, and arm
waving in the air.
Usagi's face changed from scared to happiness, though her eyes still conveyed
her true emotions. "Hey Naru! Lone time no see!"
The two friends hugged, slipping back into their old routine, though Naru obviously
had more gossip to share then Usagi.
They walked down the street to the old arcade, which Motoki had turned into a
small coffee shop to draw an adult crowd.
"So Usagi...what have you been up to in the last four years?"
Usagi's hand instinctively fell to her flat stomach. "Not much, I pretty much
from home for a company that works with graphic related items on the web."
"That is so cool Usagi, you always were creative." Naru smiled brightly. "I'm a
teacher at Juuban can you believe it? All the time I couldn't wait to get out of
school and now I'm teaching!"
"You always did say you wouldn't mind teaching the class though I remember
when you were saying how you could teach it better then allot of the actual
teachers."
"It is so much fun! I never knew how hard it was for Ms.H** till after I was
working along beside her for my student teaching."
The two girls giggled remembering the things they used to put her through.
"So how did things work out with Umino?"
"Well we got married two years ago. We sent you and invitation didn't you
get it?"
"I don't think so, or I would have been there."
"I know you would have Usagi." Naru looked at her watch. "Oh, I'm sorry
Usagi, I have to get going. We should get together sometime." Naru
quickly wrote her phone number on a napkin then slid it across the table.
"Perhaps you can have dinner with me and Umino sometime."
"Definitely." Usagi and Naru hugged once again. "See you later Naru."
Usagi sat back down at their booth to finish her small cup of coffee. Glancing
around Usagi saw Motoki standing behind the counter. Before standing to
say hello Usagi looked out the window only to see someone she hadn't seeing
since she was in highschool. A smile crept on her face as she saw him walk
toward the cafe. In a moment of amusement Usagi looked at her watch. "Right
on time, this is so weird, for years and he's still here at 4:30 sharp."
Usagi remembered having the biggest crush on Mamoru, even though all he ever
did was pick on her. She always wished she had the guts to 'tell him she liked
him but was always afraid he would just laugh at her. That wasn't the only thing
that stopped her, for whenever she had the guts to approach him he would always
bring up Rei. Rei was whom he was always interested in...not her. It had been
almost four years since she had last seen him. The only thing she noticed so far
was he was still as gorgeous as he used to be, just older.
Suddenly she saw that mans' eyes on Mamoru and a chill ran down her spine.
Gathering her things she quickly made her way toward the door.
"Usagi?" Her eyes still filled with sadness as she heard his voice, though she was
determined. This time she didn't turn to the one who called her. "You are Usagi right?"
A hand held Usagi's hand lightly only to have Usagi quickly pull it back "DON'T!!"
Usagi wrapped her arms protectively around herself. When she started to shake a
protective arm wrapped around her shoulders.
Usagi felt warm and protected in the strange embrace. Slowly Usagi allowed her
body to relax. Looking up, her gaze was caught in the most gorgeous blue eyes.
"I didn't mean to scare you Usagi." Mamoru smiled making Usagi drop her arms.
"Oh it wasn't you Mamoru. I'm sorry." Mamoru released Usagi from his embrace
making her suddenly felt cold and alone.
"Why are you jumpy anyway Odango-Atama?"
Usagi could only laugh hearing the name he used to call her for the first time in years.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, it has just been so long since I was called that..."
"Well, will it make you feel better if I told you I never stopped calling you that?"
Usagi's cheeks turned a light shade of pink at the thought that Mamoru actually
talked about her. "But I see I can't call you that anymore." Mamoru gestured toward
her more traditional hairstyle. "Why'd you stop wearing it anyway?"
Usagi's eyes slowly began to tear up.
***Flashback***
"Hey look at this hairstyle Shin...makes her look so innocent." The man with green
eyes ran his hand down Usagi's face, while another man held his hand over Usagi's
screaming mouth.
"I agree...and you know how much I like innocent." The man tightened his grip while
the green-eyed man ripped Usagi's skirt.
"So lets have some fun with her." The man moved his cold hands up her body ripping
her shirt off.
***End Flashback***
"Hello? You in there?" Mamoru's face was filled with concern and confusion.
"Huh? Wha?" Usagi's eyes filled with pain as she remembered why she removed her buns.
"Usagi? Are you okay?" When Usagi didn't answer he wrapped his arms around her.
"Why don't you tell me where you live, and I'll walk you home."
***************
* Chapter 2 *
***************
Mamoru opened the door to Usagi's apartment to see a room off to the side with children's
toys. Glancing at her walls he saw pictures of her and two children, one boy and one girl,
appearing to be close in age. Mamoru was snapped to attention when Usagi walked past
him into her apartment.
"Thank you Mamoru."
Mamoru walked with Usagi into her kitchen. Usagi offered him a drink, which he so
graciously accepted. There wasn't a word spoken between them as they sipped their
drinks.
"You know Mamoru..." Mamoru looked up over the rim of his mug across the table.
"You are the first of my old friends to visit my apartment."
"Really? Not even Rei and the girls?" Usagi's eyes almost teared up when he
mentioned Rei's name. Surely he and her were and item now.
"I haven't even seen any of them since we all graduated...I figured you would know that."
"What are you talking about? Why not? You girls were like sisters. What happened?"
"We all went out separate ways, we no longer had time for each other."
"I'm sorry..."
"No reason to apologize Mamoru. I really wouldn't have it any other way...they are
following and accomplishing their dreams. I saw on television that Minako has even
won a few awards for her acting."
Mamoru watched as Usagi's eyes filled with sadness. "And what about you?"
"Wha? What about me?"
"Are you doing what you always wanted to do?"
"Well I work for and online graphics company."
"You never answered my question."
Usagi gave a sigh of disappointment wishing Mamoru hadn't picked up on that.
"I didn't?"
"Don't try and play mind games with me Usagi, they won't work."
"Well, you know I wanted to be a fashion designer right? If I'm working at home
for and online Graphics Company, do you think I'm doing what I wanted?"
"Then tell me one thing that stopped you from achieving your goal." Mamoru
lifted his glass to his lips waiting for her reply
"It's rather hard to describe."
"Does it have anything to do with you children?"
Spitting some drink across the table, Usagi looked wide-eyed. "How?"
"First off, I saw the room with all the children's toys, second I saw the pictures
of you with them around the room."
"You really are observant aren't you?"
"I have to be...are you still with the father?"
"No...I don't think he knows about the twins..."
"You can't just not tell him Usagi...everyone deserves to know they are a parent."
"Mamoru, you don't understand..."
"Then explain it to me so I will understand." Mamoru stood pulling her into his
arms. "You can tell me anything..."
Without a word Usagi led him into the livingroom motioning for him to sit down on
the couch.
Taking a seat beside Mamoru, Usagi took his hand in hers. With tears in her eyes
she began her heart-wrenching story.
Mamoru sat in shock as Usagi told him of the rape. Never did he expect something
that horrible happened to his Usa-ko.
"Don't hate me Mamoru!" Usagi cried into his shoulder.
"Hate you? Why would I hate you?"
"Cause I'm dirty and stained with things that will never be removed."
"Oh Usagi! Mamoru tenderly kissed her forehead. "I could never hate you...you are
as beautiful to me now as you were four years ago."
"Beautiful?" All that ran through her head was, 'What about Rei?'
"Usagi, I have always thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
And now you are even more beautiful." Mamoru brushed a loose strand of hair
behind her ear.
Usagi could only blush as she heard his words. All this time hoping Mamoru would
be the one to help her through this, and it was finally happening. "Why Mamoru?
Why even now do you find me so beautiful?"
"Because of your strength and your courage." Though she hoped it was something
more, Usagi was happy with his answer.
"So what are their names?"
"Who?"
"Your children of course."
"Oh, well the girls is Chibi-Usa and the boy is Endy."
"Those names suit them." Mamoru smiled. "How old are they?"
"They will be three in a few months."
"That's good, I hope I get to meet them someday."
"I wish you could to, they are at my mothers for the weekend."
Mamoru smiled as he stood motioning toward the door. "I'm sorry but I really must
be going. Could we do this again sometime, maybe over dinner?"
"Sure! Maybe tomorrow?" Usagi opened the door to let him out.
"Tomorrow it is, I'll be here at 7 to pick you up."
"Where you gonna take me?"
"That's a surprise." Usagi laughed before rising on her tip toes to kiss him gently on the lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Usagi watched as Mamoru got onto the elevator before closing
the door. Leaning against it she thought back over the days events. As she was about
to walk away there was a knock on the door. Hoping it was Mamoru she quickly opened
the door.
There standing on the other side was a tall man with long black hair pulled loosely into a
ponytail. When she saw his piercing green eyes she knew exactly who it was and tried
to shut the door. The mans hand stopped the door from closing as he pushed his way in.
"Hey baby, did you miss me?"
"Get the hell out of my apartment!"
"I can't do that!"
"Yes you can, it's easy, just put one foot in front of the other." The man raised his hand
slapping her across the face.
"I can't leave, you have something that belongs to me."
"I don't have ANYTHING that belongs to YOU!" Usagi hoped Mamoru would find some
reason to come back up to the apartment and save her from her attacker.
"Oh but you do, those children are mine."
Usagi looked at the pictures of her children then back at the intruder. "They will NEVER
be yours!"
Usagi bolted past him and to the elevator. She repeatedly hit the down arrow, but the
elevator just never came. As quickly as she could she ran to the stairs making her way
down the many flights of stairs, the man still behind her.
Usagi quickly ran out of the building into the crowded street. Her mind screamed for
salvation that never came.
The man grabbed hold of her had pulling her into a dark ally. "You know, I knew you
were special, I just knew something would come of our affair, And you gave me children."
He went to kiss her only to have her spit in his face.
"Get away from me!"
"Sorry babe, I can't do that. It's just a shame you won't see your kids again."
Before Usagi could say anything she heard a shot. Usagi hoped it wasn't her, but she
knew she was wrong when she lifted a bloody hand into her blurry vision.
"You should have reported it sweetheart..."
Sliding down the wall all Usagi could do was think of the things she never got to say to
Mamoru.
"Ma..mor..ru..." Usagi's eyes slowly went back, the only thing she could see were the
mans terrifying green eyes. *"Protect them...Protect...my babies..."*
Usagi's body fell limp her last words and thought of her children and the man she had loved.
***************
* Chapter 3 *
***************
Mamoru fell to his knees clutching his heart. For some reason it felt like a part of him
had died. He couldn't explain it, but he remembered when something similar had happened
a few years back.
***Flashback***
Mamoru felt like he was being torn apart. "What is going on?"
When the pain subsided he was filled with the feeling of violation. All Mamoru could do
when it was finally over was shower. The sweat and anguish having taken him over.
***End Flashback***
"Sir are you all right?"
Mamoru was startled when the pain suddenly subsided.
"Sir?"
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you."
"Maybe you should go to the hospital, get checked out. I could have sworn you were
having a heart attack."
"That's okay, I'm fine, thanks for your concern."
"No problem, but I still believe you should get it checked out."
"Believe me sir, if it happens again I will." As he was about to walk away his beeper
began to go off. Looking at the numbers he saw 9-1-1 flashing back at him.
Quickly as he could he pulled out his PHS turning it on, opening it up he quickly
dial a number. "Yeah what is it?"
**"There has been a shooting near the apartment complex in Shinjuku at Yamato
heights. The Captain told me to assign you!"**
"Thank you I'm on my way." As quick as he could Mamoru ran to his car near the
cafe putting a red light on his car roof and sped off in the direction of Shinjuku.
Finally arriving on the scene Mamoru saw Usagi's building on the opposite side of the
street. After he was done he thought he might stop up to see her again.
"Detective Chiba!" A young man in a Police uniform came running over to greet him as
he slipped his badge onto his pocket.
"What's the report Mido?"
"One woman shot and killed. The woman took a single gunshot wound to the chest."
"Thank you." Mamoru walked over to the alley seeing the body covered by a sheet and
a gun at her side. Slipping on a pair of rubber gloves he stepped under the police tape
and walked into the scene. "I take it this is the gun that killed the woman?"
"Yes Detective we already have the print lap waiting for it to arrive." Mamoru placed the
gun into a zip lock bag handing it to the officer behind him. "You know where its' going..."
Mamoru looked down at the body and the traces of blood on the wall behind her.
"Who's the girl?"
"We're not sure, she wasn't carrying any ID."
Removing the sheet from the woman's head, Mamoru jumped back when he saw who
was beneath it.
"You know her detective?"
"Y-yes I do...her name is Tsukino, Usagi, she's 23 years old."
"Thanks, we'll put it on the report, You wouldn't happen to know her next of kin
would you?"
"Yes, Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino."
"Thanks detective, we'll have and officer sent to their residence and let them know..."
No longer caring what the cop was saying Mamoru knelt down running his gloved
fingers along her pale face. "Usagi...who did this to you...?" Looking at the other
cop, Mamoru tried to stop the tears. "Were there any witnesses?"
"One but he doesn't seem to know much, he was in the store across the street, he
saw a man pull her in, that's all he saw. The description seems to be tough, since
he was already in the alleyway. All we got is he has long black hair. When he
heard the gunshot he quickly called us."
"Thank you officer. I'm gonna go take a look at her apartment..."
"Detective...where's her apartment?"
"That building." Mamoru pointed to the tall building across the street.
"Apartment 612B"
"Thank you..."
Mamoru quickly left the scene running across the street to Usagi's building. Unable
to wait for the slower then death elevator Mamoru took his chances with the stairs.
Needless to say he was winded when he got to the 6th floor. When he got to her
apartment he found her door open and badly damaged.
Walking into the room Mamoru's eyes teared up to think he was there less then and
hour or so and it still happened. Walking into her bedroom he looked at her bookshelf
finding a few of her diaries placed neatly in the corner. Pulling them off the shelf he
opened it up and casually began to read.
**Diary Entry #1**
Dear Diary,
Well it was another incredibly boring day of school...I feel asleep during Biology. Of
course I was so happy when I was able to go to the arcade. Why? Of course it'ss
cause I got to see HIM! You know that guy I was telling you about...Mamoru... though
he picked on me constantly I can't ever get him out of my head!!
There is just one problem though. Mamoru is like totally into Rei. Whenever I have the
guts to actually go over and talk to him it's always 'How's Rei?' 'What's Rei up to?' or
'Have you seen Rei?' What does Rei have that I don't have? I'm cute, I'm pretty...right?
Of course today was one of them days...besides calling me Odango-Atama he went
on and on about Rei and how they have been going to karate together. Like I care
right? I mean Rei is like a sister, but I can only take so much of my crush gushing
about her.
Well I guess I have complained enough, talk to you tomorrow.
In love with Mamoru,
Usagi
**End of entry**
Mamoru held the diary at a distance after reading the first entry. Never did he suspect
that Usagi had liked him that. He had always used Rei as a ruse just to talk to her.
If he had known that she was really into him he would have made his move. Tears fell
from his eyes as she slowly put the 3 diaries into his coat. This was definitely
something he would have to bring home and read later.
Though he mainly did it hoping that she would describe her attacker he now had a
personal interest in her thoughts. With all luck Usagi wasn't looking down on him
cursing him out for what he was going to do.
"Detective?" Mamoru stood up suddenly as a handful of cops came into the room.
"We would like to dust for some prints."
"Okay officer the room is yours I'm done here. If you find any important papers get
them to me right away, I'm going to go and
talk to a few people."
"Okay detective, have your PHS on so we can contact you."
"I do thank you." With that Mamoru left the apartment whipping the quick tears from
his eyes. Before he did anything else he had to talk to HER first. Taking his badge
off he ran out of the building to his car. Putting the light back under his seat he pulled
away from the curb and raced across the city.

"That's good, I hope I get to meet them someday."
"I wish you could to, they are at my mothers for the weekend."
Mamoru smiled as he stood motioning toward the door. "I'm sorry but I really must
be going. Could we do this again sometime, maybe over dinner?"
"Sure! Maybe tomorrow?" Usagi opened the door to let him out.
"Tomorrow it is, I'll be here at 7 to pick you up."
"Where you gonna take me?"
"That's a surprise." Usagi laughed before rising on her tip toes to kiss him gently on the lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Usagi watched as Mamoru got onto the elevator before closing
the door. Leaning against it she thought back over the days events. As she was about
to walk away there was a knock on the door. Hoping it was Mamoru she quickly opened
the door.
There standing on the other side was a tall man with long black hair pulled loosely into a
ponytail. When she saw his piercing green eyes she knew exactly who it was and tried
to shut the door. The mans hand stopped the door from closing as he pushed his way in.
"Hey baby, did you miss me?"
"Get the hell out of my apartment!"
"I can't do that!"
"Yes you can, it's easy, just put one foot in front of the other." The man raised his hand
slapping her across the face.
"I can't leave, you have something that belongs to me."
"I don't have ANYTHING that belongs to YOU!" Usagi hoped Mamoru would find some
reason to come back up to the apartment and save her from her attacker.
"Oh but you do, those children are mine."
Usagi looked at the pictures of her children then back at the intruder. "They will NEVER
be yours!"
Usagi bolted past him and to the elevator. She repeatedly hit the down arrow, but the
elevator just never came. As quickly as she could she ran to the stairs making her way
down the many flights of stairs, the man still behind her.
Usagi quickly ran out of the building into the crowded street. Her mind screamed for
salvation that never came.
The man grabbed hold of her had pulling her into a dark ally. "You know, I knew you
were special, I just knew something would come of our affair, And you gave me children."
He went to kiss her only to have her spit in his face.
"Get away from me!"
"Sorry babe, I can't do that. It's just a shame you won't see your kids again."
Before Usagi could say anything she heard a shot. Usagi hoped it wasn't her, but she
knew she was wrong when she lifted a bloody hand into her blurry vision.
"You should have reported it sweetheart..."
Sliding down the wall all Usagi could do was think of the things she never got to say to
Mamoru.
"Ma..mor..ru..." Usagi's eyes slowly went back, the only thing she could see were the
mans terrifying green eyes. *"Protect them...Protect...my babies..."*
Usagi's body fell limp her last words and thought of her children and the man she had loved.

* Chapter 3 *
***************
Mamoru fell to his knees clutching his heart. For some reason it felt like a part of him
had died. He couldn't explain it, but he remembered when something similar had happened
a few years back.
***Flashback***
Mamoru felt like he was being torn apart. "What is going on?"
When the pain subsided he was filled with the feeling of violation. All Mamoru could do
when it was finally over was shower. The sweat and anguish having taken him over.
***End Flashback***
"Sir are you all right?"
Mamoru was startled when the pain suddenly subsided.
"Sir?"
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you."
"Maybe you should go to the hospital, get checked out. I could have sworn you were
having a heart attack."
"That's okay, I'm fine, thanks for your concern."
"No problem, but I still believe you should get it checked out."
"Believe me sir, if it happens again I will." As he was about to walk away his beeper
began to go off. Looking at the numbers he saw 9-1-1 flashing back at him.
Quickly as he could he pulled out his PHS turning it on, opening it up he quickly
dial a number. "Yeah what is it?"
**"There has been a shooting near the apartment complex in Shinjuku at Yamato
heights. The Captain told me to assign you!"**
"Thank you I'm on my way." As quick as he could Mamoru ran to his car near the
cafe putting a red light on his car roof and sped off in the direction of Shinjuku.
Finally arriving on the scene Mamoru saw Usagi's building on the opposite side of the
street. After he was done he thought he might stop up to see her again.
"Detective Chiba!" A young man in a Police uniform came running over to greet him as
he slipped his badge onto his pocket.
"What's the report Mido?"
"One woman shot and killed. The woman took a single gunshot wound to the chest."
"Thank you." Mamoru walked over to the alley seeing the body covered by a sheet and
a gun at her side. Slipping on a pair of rubber gloves he stepped under the police tape
and walked into the scene. "I take it this is the gun that killed the woman?"
"Yes Detective we already have the print lap waiting for it to arrive." Mamoru placed the
gun into a zip lock bag handing it to the officer behind him. "You know where its' going..."
Mamoru looked down at the body and the traces of blood on the wall behind her.
"Who's the girl?"
"We're not sure, she wasn't carrying any ID."
Removing the sheet from the woman's head, Mamoru jumped back when he saw who
was beneath it.
"You know her detective?"
"Y-yes I do...her name is Tsukino, Usagi, she's 23 years old."
"Thanks, we'll put it on the report, You wouldn't happen to know her next of kin
would you?"
"Yes, Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino."
"Thanks detective, we'll have and officer sent to their residence and let them know..."
No longer caring what the cop was saying Mamoru knelt down running his gloved
fingers along her pale face. "Usagi...who did this to you...?" Looking at the other
cop, Mamoru tried to stop the tears. "Were there any witnesses?"
"One but he doesn't seem to know much, he was in the store across the street, he
saw a man pull her in, that's all he saw. The description seems to be tough, since
he was already in the alleyway. All we got is he has long black hair. When he
heard the gunshot he quickly called us."
"Thank you officer. I'm gonna go take a look at her apartment..."
"Detective...where's her apartment?"
"That building." Mamoru pointed to the tall building across the street.
"Apartment 612B"
"Thank you..."
Mamoru quickly left the scene running across the street to Usagi's building. Unable
to wait for the slower then death elevator Mamoru took his chances with the stairs.
Needless to say he was winded when he got to the 6th floor. When he got to her
apartment he found her door open and badly damaged.
Walking into the room Mamoru's eyes teared up to think he was there less then and
hour or so and it still happened. Walking into her bedroom he looked at her bookshelf
finding a few of her diaries placed neatly in the corner. Pulling them off the shelf he
opened it up and casually began to read.
**Diary Entry #1**
Dear Diary,
Well it was another incredibly boring day of school...I feel asleep during Biology. Of
course I was so happy when I was able to go to the arcade. Why? Of course it'ss
cause I got to see HIM! You know that guy I was telling you about...Mamoru... though
he picked on me constantly I can't ever get him out of my head!!
There is just one problem though. Mamoru is like totally into Rei. Whenever I have the
guts to actually go over and talk to him it's always 'How's Rei?' 'What's Rei up to?' or
'Have you seen Rei?' What does Rei have that I don't have? I'm cute, I'm pretty...right?
Of course today was one of them days...besides calling me Odango-Atama he went
on and on about Rei and how they have been going to karate together. Like I care
right? I mean Rei is like a sister, but I can only take so much of my crush gushing
about her.
Well I guess I have complained enough, talk to you tomorrow.
In love with Mamoru,
Usagi
**End of entry**
Mamoru held the diary at a distance after reading the first entry. Never did he suspect
that Usagi had liked him that. He had always used Rei as a ruse just to talk to her.
If he had known that she was really into him he would have made his move. Tears fell
from his eyes as she slowly put the 3 diaries into his coat. This was definitely
something he would have to bring home and read later.
Though he mainly did it hoping that she would describe her attacker he now had a
personal interest in her thoughts. With all luck Usagi wasn't looking down on him
cursing him out for what he was going to do.
"Detective?" Mamoru stood up suddenly as a handful of cops came into the room.
"We would like to dust for some prints."
"Okay officer the room is yours I'm done here. If you find any important papers get
them to me right away, I'm going to go and
talk to a few people."
"Okay detective, have your PHS on so we can contact you."
"I do thank you." With that Mamoru left the apartment whipping the quick tears from
his eyes. Before he did anything else he had to talk to HER first. Taking his badge
off he ran out of the building to his car. Putting the light back under his seat he pulled
away from the curb and raced across the city.
