Hey Everyone! All right well there is a tiny sexual scene in this chapter so beware ahead of time. It's not a total lemon (that's for later :grins evilly: ). Thanks for those who reviewed! I really appreciate it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon at all so leave me alone! Haha, just kidding.

Usagi rolled over in bed with a low growl at her alarm clock. She gave the clock a swift smack that sent it to the floor. She pulled back her covers and stared at the ceiling.
"Damnit…..Shit……Fuck…..Ugh, I don't want to go to work!" With a moan she threw back her covers and got out of bed. (A/N: this is me EVERY morning, mostly during school as well.) There was a mild throbbing in her back where her wings came out and she rubbed her hands over the sore spots. In the bathroom she looked at her red face in the mirror. She had cried for most of the night and slipped in and out of sleep. She looked like crap.
"All right Usagi, you can do this. Just shower, sing a song or two and make yourself feel better. This can't be as bad as you make it out to be. Besides it's your first day of a new job. Cheer up!" With a smile on her face she quickly took off her pj's and jumped in the shower. 'That pep talk really worked!' She thought to herself while she hummed a song. Once out of the warm shower she was feeling much better.
After picking out a white cotton bra and white bikini-style underwear, Usagi danced her way to her closet to pick out a nice outfit for her first day. She pulled out a baby blue Versace suit 'I knew this was a good buy when I saw it!' she thought, and her blue heels to match. The blue brought out her eyes and it was complete with a skirt that went 2 inches above her knee. Before putting on her suit she quickly pulled her hair back into a nice bun. After completing her outfit she dabbed a little blush on her cheeks and put on her favorite perfume. After looking at herself in the mirror she flashed a smile at her reflection and walked to the kitchen.
She pulled out a bagel and held it in her mouth as she grabbed a bottle of water. She grabbed her briefcase and headed out of her apartment. She quickly locked the door and looked at her watch. 'By jove I'm actually going to be on time for something!' She continued to eat her bagel as she waited for the elevator. Brushing a few crumbs off her suit the doors of the elevator opened. Usagi looked up at the man standing in the elevator with the impeccable suit and killer smile. Her eyes moved from his feet all the way up to his face that still held his smile. 'Don't let him ruin your day Usagi, just be nice'.
"Are you going to go down with me or are you just stand there?" he asked. His smile widened when he saw the look that came over her face.
'Was that a sexual statement? Oh, grow up Usagi and play along!' She gave him a smile and sauntered in the elevator. After the doors closed she could feel his eyes on her and almost giggled. 'He likes me! I know it.'
'She looks fantastic in that suit' he thought to himself as he hungrily eyed Usagi's soft curves. She turned to him and smiled. He was about to return the smile when he quickly looked away. 'Didn't you say you wouldn't get involved with anyone? I mean you don't even know this girl'.
Usagi watched him look away and turned back to the elevator doors confused. 'First he gives me smiles then he becomes cold and distant. Make up your mind!' Usagi's bad mood was returning as she looked at the descending floor numbers. 'Oh, there's no use letting him make you upset Usagi, you have your own problems to deal with. Just cheer up!' With that thought she smiled again as the doors opened and she walked out. She planned on walking and turned to see if Mamoru was going to walk with her but he was no where in site. 'I guess he decided to drive today. Oh well'. She turned and walked out of her apartment complex and on to her new job.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Usagi leaned back in her chair and stretched her hands over her head. 'What a day!' she thought. When she took the job she wasn't expecting all the paperwork! She was hoping it would be more meetings with clients and fun things like that, not stupid paperwork that Mamoru kept on giving her. 'Not giving me more like it, he has his stupid secretary Ann give all the work to me'. She had a bad run in with Ann by the coffee machine that morning. Usagi was only trying to be nice when she poured Ann a cup but she didn't notice that Ann decided to stand right behind her and the coffee spilled all over her Armani suit. Usagi was mortified but Ann was unforgivable. Before Ann could throw a cup at Usagi, Malachite came in and saved the day by telling Usagi he needed her for a project. She turned only to see Ann give her a look that could kill and quickly followed Malachite to his office.
"Watch out for Ann. She has a bad temper sometimes but she keeps people in line which is why Mamoru keeps her. Amongst other things……" he trailed off and gave a look of disgust that Usagi caught. 'Note to self: steer clear of crazy boss who hires psycho's to work here. Present company excluded'. Malachite handed her a bunch of reports that she had to go over for the new client and Usagi only looked at it and sighed. Malachite was really nice and helpful but geez, this work sucked big time.
Usagi looked at her watch and saw that it was after 6. "Ugh, I need to get out of here". She quickly packed up her briefcase and headed home. She was walking home when her mobile started to ring. It was her mother.
"Hey mom, what's up?" Usagi answered.
"Oh, were good sweetheart. How was your first day?" Usagi sighed and relayed her day to her mom. "You don't let that Ann bother you honey, she is not worth the time of day! Anyway, I called because I wanted to let you know that your father has a last minute business meeting this weekend so we won't be able to see you on Friday."
"Oh, that's ok mom. I'm probably going to be dead tired from all this work anyway." Usagi was tired all ready just thinking about the rest of the week. She walked into her building and go into the elevator.
"We will get together when we get back, ok Usagi. Have a nice week. I love you."
"Love you too mom. Bye." After hanging up her phone, Usagi leaned against the back of the elevator and closed her eyes. The elevator stopped on her floor and she got out and walked to her apartment. She dropped her briefcase on the table and walked to her fridge. 'Damn, I need to go shopping'. She pulled out sandwich fixings and made a sandwich to dinner. 'I'm so pathetic' Usagi thought as she quickly ate her dinner. She walked back to her room and changed into a pink tank top and white shorts.
Usagi walked towards the TV with every intention of not going near her briefcase when she looked down on the couch and saw the feather and letter from her real mother still sitting there. She had forgotten to put them away yesterday in her anger. Now that she had calmed down she picked up the feather. 'It was so soft and beautiful' she thought. Usagi closed her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her back as her wings flew out behind her. The pain wasn't as intense as the day before but it still made Usagi stop and catch her breath. She turned to look behind her and the wings that she was burdened with. 'Maybe there not that much of a burden, I mean who else has them. I can officially say I'm an individual'. She wrapped her wings around herself and thought about her mother. 'No I won't be ashamed anymore'. She smiled to herself but was broken out of her revere by a knock on the door.
Usagi opened her eyes and stared at the door in confusion. The knock came again and she quickly walked to the door to look out. Usagi looked out here peep hole to see Mamoru standing there. 'Fuck! What's he doing here?' Usagi quickly pulled her wings back and opened the door a crack.
Mamoru looked hesitant for a second but then smiled at Usagi. "I just wanted to stop by and see how your first day went. I'm sorry I didn't have time to talk to you at the office today."
"Oh, that's ok". Usagi, unsure of what to do opened the door wider. "Um, would you like to come in for coffee or something?"
"Sure". 'Okay Mamoru, you're just going to have coffee and leave, nothing else!' He strolled in and looked around. "The place looks nice. How do you like it so far?"
"It's great actually. Thanks again for letting me stay here". Usagi smiled at him and felt a warm feeling when he smiled back. There was definitely something about him that she couldn't deny. As she stared into his eyes she could feel herself being pulled towards him unconsciously. Usagi quickly blinked before she got too close to Mamoru and looked away with a slight blush to her cheeks. "Let me get you some coffee." She quickly turned away from him to walk to the kitchen.
Mamoru looked after her with some disappointment. He couldn't deny that there was something about her that attracted him and it wasn't just her looks. She had an innocence around her that made him feel warm and welcome. He looked down and saw that her tank top was ripped from the middle to her collar. He could faintly see two vertical scars on her back that looked a bit red.
"Usagi, do you know that your shirt is ripped? Your back looks pretty red, are you ok?" A worried look came over his face as he looked at her sore, red back. He saw her stiffen at his words and turn.
'Oh my god! I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think to change my shirt before I opened the door. Fuck!' She turned towards Mamoru and smiled. "Oh, it's nothing. I just snagged my shirt when I was cleaning before you got here and my shirt ripped. Let me just change." She walked back to her room and shut the door. Without dwelling on the questions she was sure to answer when she walked back out there she quickly changed into a clean shirt and walked back out. Mamoru was sitting on her couch and smiled when she entered. Usagi started to smile back when she saw her mother's letter on her coffee table and Mamoru holding her mother's feather. Usagi quickly walked up and picked up the letter. Mamoru didn't seem to notice the fear on her face as she walked to her kitchen and put her mother's letter in her purse.
Mamoru walked to the kitchen door and watched Usagi pour the coffee. He still held the feather in his hand and was stroking it lightly. Usagi eyed him out of the corner of her eye but quickly decided to not make any commotion over the feather.
"How's your back? It looked pretty red."
"It's fine. How do you want your coffee?" 'Nice, Usagi, real nice'.
"Black, where did you get this feather, it's so beautiful".
"My mother gave it to me. I don't know where she got it". 'That wasn't entirely a lie'.
Usagi passed Mamoru his coffee and carried hers to her couch where they both sat down. She pulled her knees up as she drank her coffee. They drank in silence for a moment before Usagi decided to ask a question that had been plaguing her.
"So, um, Mamoru, not to tell you how to run your business but, why do you keep that cow, Ann as your secretary?" Usagi quickly blushed at the way her question came out. She didn't mean for it to sound so abrupt.
Mamoru chuckled as he thought of her question. "Ann can be a bit obnoxious but she gets her work done and makes sure that no one else slacks off. That's why I keep her. Don't let her get to you though." Mamoru went back to his coffee and eyed Usagi out of the corner of his eye. 'She is so beautiful and I always feel at peace when I'm with her.' He watched as she innocently licked her lips and crossed her legs. She shifted her beautiful hair behind her and turned to him. He could feel his blood start to boil as he looked at her. His eyes went from her long legs, to her small waist, up to her round breasts and then to her luscious pink lips that were slightly parted. How could he keep his hands to himself?
Usagi watched as Mamoru looked over her body very hungrily. She watched as he placed his coffee cup on the table and she did the same as if being moved by a different force. He turned back to her and both of their eyes locked on one another. Usagi sucked in her breath as Mamoru brought his hand to her cheek. She closed her eyes and sighed at the warm contact. So many emotions ran through her mind at his touch. She slowly opened her eyes and stared back at him. 'Push his hand away, tell him to leave, you shouldn't be doing this Usagi. You have your own problems to contend with'. She blinked twice but didn't pull away. How could she, she wanted to keep the warm feeling he had over her.
Mamoru couldn't pull his hand away from her face. Her skin was so soft and he couldn't let go of the warm feeling he had just touching her. He slid his hand down to her lips and lightly outlined her bottom lip with his finger. She closed her eyes and lightly brought out her tongue and licked his finger. That was all Mamoru could take. He pulled his fingers away and brought his lips to hers in a soft kiss that quickly became demanding. She was the sweetest thing he ever tasted and he couldn't get enough. He slid his hand behind her neck to hold her to him and traced her upper lip with his tongue, begging for entry. She parted her lips and Mamoru wasted no time as he wrapped his tongue around hers. He couldn't get enough of this angel he found.
'Heaven, he is like pure heaven' Usagi thought. She pushed herself forward into their kiss. She straddled his lap and ran her hands threw his hair. A groan escaped his mouth when she seated herself on his quickly increasing arousal. Usagi threw her head back in a sigh as Mamoru kissed down her neck. His hand moved up her shirt and found her breast. All she could feel was heat; it was so hot in the room, between the two of them. It was wrong but it felt so right. He pulled her shirt over her head and started to kiss a trail of heat from her collar to her breasts. He lightly licked her nipple before placing it into his mouth. Usagi tangled her fingers in his hair and held him to her breast. She shifted in his lap which only made his arousal harder. He moaned and moved away from her breasts back to her neck. Usagi unbuttoned his jacket and pulled it off and was working on his shirt. She wanted him now! She removed his shirt and threw it over the couch. He wrapped his arms around her to bring her closer and felt the thrill of her breasts pressed against him. Mamoru found her lips and quickly claimed them with his own. His hands idly moved up her back until he felt the faint bump of twin scars on her shoulder blades. He felt Usagi stiffen and start to move away.
'What the hell am I doing!' Usagi quickly removed herself from his arms and stood up. She grabbed her shirt to try to cover herself and calm her rapid breathing.
Mamoru looked confused at her sudden coldness but he quickly regained himself.
"What the hell were you doing?" Usagi exclaimed.
Mamoru stood up in shock. "What am I doing? If I'm not mistaken, you just straddled me!"
"You took advantage of me!" Usagi knew that he hadn't but it was better if he was to blame then her.
"Took advantage? Are you kidding? I don't take advantage of anyone; women come willingly to me, just like you just did".
"Is that so? Well, why don't you to your willingly women and get the hell out of my apartment!" Anger surged threw her and Usagi could feel her shirt tighten from the back. 'Okay, don't flip out or you'll let you damn wings out!' She closed her eyes and calmed down. Her shirt loosened again and she opened her eyes to see Mamoru pull his shirt on and grab his jacket. He looked towards Usagi but all she saw was the passion in his eyes.
"What's wrong Usagi? What happened to your back?" He asked quietly
Tears of anger, frustration and embarrassment went through her. How could she have so willing kissed him and let him touch her? Usagi blinked her tears away and looked back at Mamoru in anger. "My body is none of your business".
Anger swept across Mamoru's face as he looked at Usagi. Her lips were still swollen from his kisses and he could still see the outline of her breasts as she vainly tried to cover herself. "If that's how you want to be then fine, but I know you feel something when we are together". He walked to the door and opened it.
Usagi looked towards him as he paused at the door and looked back at her. "I'm going to find out what happened to you. You can't deny what we have." Coldness came over her as she watched him leave.
Mamoru walked to the elevator and pushed the "Up" button. 'I don't take advantage of anyone! I can't believe she had the nerve to make me out to be the bad one.' Mamoru got into the elevator and pushed the button for his floor. 'She tasted so sweet though and she felt so right in my arms. I probably would have taken her on that goddamn couch if I hadn't touched her back'. Mamoru got off the elevator and walked into his penthouse. He changed into a pair of night pants and walked to his bar. After pouring himself a drink he quickly drank it and poured another. 'Why won't she tell me what happened to her back?' He quickly swallowed his second drink and walked to his balcony. 'I'll find out what you're hiding Usagi and you won't be able to stop me.'

The rest of the work week went by in a blur for Usagi. Paperwork just kept on coming so by Friday she was thoroughly exhausted. She had successfully avoided Mamoru every day. Whenever she saw him coming she would quickly run to the restroom. Childish but effective. She trudged into her apartment and threw herself onto her couch. She curled up into a ball and pulled the blanket over her for a quick cat nap. The shrill ring of the phone ended that nap rather quickly as Usagi reached over to pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Usagi! I can't believe you haven't called your best friend all week!"
"Mina? I'm so sorry, work has been really hectic and I haven't had time for anything. Good thing my mom canceled dinner tonight because I'm exhausted."
"Poor baby. Well I'll let you sleep but don't forget tomorrow is your dress fitting at noon so don't be late!"
'Oh shit, the wedding! What kind of maid of honor am I! The wedding was in two weeks and she hadn't even given it a single thought.' "I won't be late Mina don't worry. I'm really excited".
"Me too! So who is going to be your date? Is it going to be Mamoru?" Mina asked with a giggle.
Usagi blushed but then grew angry. "I rather go with a blow up doll then that pig!"
"Hmm, me thinks you like him Usagi".
"I'm hanging up Mina…"
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding with you. Go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow Usagi".
"All right, night!" Usagi hung up the phone and trudged to her room to change into her night clothes. As she got comfortable in her bed the phone rang again. "Of course the fucking phone waited till I got comfortable to ring!" She decided against answering it but she forgot that her answering machine wasn't hooked up yet. Usagi grabbed the phone next to her bed.
"Yes!"
"Usagi? Are you ok? You sound upset."
Usagi stopped for a second. "Seiya?"
"The one and only. Miss me love?"
A tear dropped from her eye as she smiled to herself. "Oh Seiya! I miss you tons! How are you? Did you get my letter with my address?"
"I'm good, yes I got your letter, but I have some news".
"What is it? Did you get a new job in New York?"
"I got a new job but it's not in New York".
Usagi sat confused for a second. "Well, where then?" She heard a knock on the door. "Oh, hold on a second Seiya, there is someone at the door." Usagi walked to the door and opened it without looking out. She dropped her phone and jumped into the arms of the man waiting there for her.
"Oh my god Seiya, what are you doing here?" She pulled him into her apartment and picked up her discarded phone.
"Well, you know Yaten and Taiki still live here, well I called them and asked to see if they knew of any jobs and they did. I came back here because there wasn't any real need to live in New York now that you weren't there." Seiya gave Usagi a winning smile that she willingly returned.
"That's great Seiya! Where are you staying?"
"Well I haven't found an apartment yet because I just got here this morning so I am going to be crashing with Yaten, just until I find a place".
"Oh, Seiya, I'm so glad you're here. This week has been so hectic at work; it's good to have a friend around to talk to about it". Usagi's earlier conversation with Mina popped in her mind and she quickly looked at Seiya with pleading eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that Usagi? What do you want?" He eyed her suspiciously.
"Seiya, I would be eternally indebted to you if you would be my date at Mina's wedding." Usagi held her breath in anticipation. It would be great to have Seiya there instead of having to go stag.
"That's all? Of course babe! I'd do anything for you." He pulled her into a hug. 'It feels so good to be close to her again. It's like a piece of my life was put back in place' Seiya thought.
The two friends moved from the couch to the balcony to chat about what had been going on. Usagi was so content and happy that she didn't even think about any of the problems that she had been having with her wings or Mamoru.
A gust of wind swooped through and Usagi shivered. "It's cold out here Seiya, let's go in." Seiya put his arm around Usagi and they both walked into her bedroom.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Mamoru chugged his drank and looked back over the railing. 'Now they were going back into her apartment and that bastard has his arm over her shoulders!' Mamoru quickly turned away in disgust and looked into his bedroom. 'She should be laying on my sheets, smiling and saying my name, not his!' He walked back into his room and sat down and placed his head in his hands. 'What the hell is the matter with me? I don't own her, she doesn't belong to me. I need to stop obsessing over her.' He lay back onto his bed and stared at the ceiling. His anger returned quickly as he thought 'I bet that piece of shit has his hands all over her'. 'I'll get her back, she belongs to me and that's it.'
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Ohhh, will Mamoru, break Seiya's legs? Does Seiya still have feelings for Usagi? Wait and see!
