Okay, so here's the thing for one reviewer who had a question: Why is Motoki calling Mamoru by his last name, because in the original anime that's what he called him & secondly, this is gonna have TANG so BE WARNED! '

Chapter Ten: Another kiss, another dream

Mamoru had secretly hoped that he would see Usagi walk down the stairs any minute. Somehow it hurt that she didn't come down to see him, but he believed her mother when she told him that she was just not feeling well. He liked Usagi's family, he liked that way her mother snapped at her husband for keeping a 'do not feed the Usagi' sign behind him during dinner and how he reluctantly accepted defeat after she hit him with it for the third time. Shingo was very pleasant too, he showed Mamoru all his games and even allowed him to play one of them. The night was slowly coming to an end when Ikuko brought out dessert.

"I hope you like it Mamoru, it's Usagi's favorite." She smiled handing him a large helping of chocolate cake covered in chocolate fudge and drizzled over with chocolate syrup. He smiled nervously realizing how big Usagi's appetite was and somehow she had always able to maintain such a beautiful body.

'Stop that Chiba, her parents are sitting right in front of you' He thought nervously. After all, her father was a maniac. Mamoru took a bite of the cake, loving the moist taste and texture of it, it was like it melted in his mouth.

"It's very good Tsukino-sama" He continued to eat.

"Usagi loves it too." Her father exclaimed happily. He knew that his little girl was still hurt from the incident and she was probably very self-conscience of her face and that is why she didn't want to come down, he respected her feelings; and didn't want to barge in her room and ask for her to come thank Mamoru personally.

"I hope she starts to feel better soon. It's like the house is so empty without her laugh" He sighed. Ikuko felt the same way.

"She did laugh a little today, but it just wasn't the same." She added. Mamoru looked down to his cake thinking about Usagi, wondering if it was his kiss that drove her to this. He always found her laughter so annoying, so horribly irritating; but now he wanted to hear her.

"Why doesn't Mamoru-san just go to her room and say hi" Shingo felt like he had a wonderful idea, little did he understand that her parents were shocked and a little bit flushed. Kenji ducked to his side, embarrassed and starting writing up another 'do not feed the usagi' sign until Ikuko hit him over the head with the tray. She was a bit embarrassed by the idea of having a young man like Mamoru in her daughter's room, but she trusted him.

"You can go upstairs Mamoru, she might cheer up a little." Ikuko said smiling as she suffocated her husband's jumpy protest.

"Now now dear, you really don't want to make a fuss about this." She continued putting her weight on him as she muffled his pleads to not let Mamoru go to her room. Mamoru was embarrassed and swallowed hard not knowing what he should do.

"Ah no that's okay. She's probably asleep." He added much to Kenji's relief.

"No no it's okay, here I'll show you to her room." Shingo happily skipped to Mamoru grabbing his arm and forcing him to the stairs. Kenji started having a heart attack.

"Shingo you traitor" He held up his sign and was about to make his way to Mamoru to stop him, when Ikuko toppled the coffee table on him; sending him whimpering to the ground, defeated yet again. Mamoru became very nervous as Shingo dragged him to Usagi's room.

"Here you go, I'll see you downstairs." Shingo smiled and left him. Mamoru smiled apprehensively twitching, looking at her bedroom door. She had a little welcome sign on it with a picture of a bunny.

"So like Odango." He mused. He inhaled and exhaled before knocking on her door.

"I'm okay mom, I'm just resting." He heard her say. He opened the door slightly and peeked in.

"Odango?" He asked looking at the bed. Usagi's heart burst and she jolted up on her bed knocking Luna violently to the wall. He walked in completely, closing the door behind him. He didn't move from the door as he looked at her bruised face. Usagi's eyes softened and she sat up straight crossing her legs.

"It's okay, they'll heal soon. Actually, it doesn't hurt anymore really." She smiled looking down to her hands playing with her bed sheets. Luna recovered and hopped on to the table suspiciously starring at Mamoru.

"How are you doing?" He asked, wanting to step closer to her. Seeing her after nearly two days almost destroyed him, he wanted to see her; wanted things to be normal, but how could they, he was starting to like her. Usagi brushed her hair off her face.

"I'm okay." She said still not making eye contact. She felt naked, like he was examining her. Suddenly she felt his hand on her chin and his weight sitting on the side of her bed. She was baffled as he starred down at her face, still holding her chin. He didn't know how he ended up there, his face so close to hers; he didn't even remember walking. There was silence hovering over them, a small bit of light shining down on them from the moon, it was romantic.

"Mamoru…" She whispered feeling a extraordinary sensation overwhelm her, she was happy and nervous. He continued to look at her, hating himself for letting her get hurt by that monster. Without thinking he wrapped her with his right arm and brought his lips to hers. Her eyes closed with tears streaking down. His mind blew up, he had told himself that he was going to be cold to her, that he was going to go back to the way things were, but now he was kissing her again. Usagi didn't stop him, or push him back, she pulled her hands up to rest on his chest alluring him to get closer.

"AHHH" Luna was having a cat attack watching Mamoru kiss Usagi, she felt dizzy and after she spun twice she fainted on to the table. Mamoru couldn't stop, this felt so right to him. He deepened the kiss just enough for her to loosen up to him more. He could feel that she was stiff. Usagi grasped what she was doing, and who she was kissing back. Her eyes opened, she was shocked and didn't know what to do. Mamoru also realized what he was doing, and gained control of his mind. He pulled away quickly, breathing heavily. Usagi put her hand on her chest, feeling her heart racing.

'What just happened?' she asked hoping that this was a dream. Mamoru was ashamed, he just kissed her again. He looked over to her surprised face looking back at him wondering what was going on.

"You get some rest Odango atama. Don't want you to puff up." He smirked and walked out leaving Usagi confused and a bit upset. He had just kissed her for the second time, than insulted her and than walked off. She wanted to cry again.

"What's going on?" She asked starting to cry gently.

"Why is this happening, what is he doing?" She quickly covered herself with her blanket and hushed her tears in the pillow.

………………………………………….

"Mamoru stop!" She was begging for him to get off of her as he covered her neck with hard kisses. She was pushing on his shoulders, trying hard to get him off, but he didn't move. Finally he pulled her wrists to her head, pinning her there as he shoved himself in. She screamed in horrible pain, crying out loud, still begging him to let her free. He didn't say anything, he couldn't tell if he was enjoying this or hating it. She was still trying to push him off, burying herself into the bed trying to get him out of her. She was terrified when he started to move, he wasn't slow and passionate, he was aggressive and forceful.

"Mamoru please! Don't!" She screamed as the pain tortured her body. She was now hitting his back and shoulders trying to keep her strength up. She was battling unconsciousness from the physical and emotional strain of him violating her. Her eyes widen in horrible panic when she felt him complete, the expression on his face was pure ecstasy as he fell back down on her.

"No…." Usagi sobbed, her face stricken with horror.

Mamoru shot up in his bed, sweating and gasping for air. He couldn't believe what he just dreamed of. His eyes were locked open in disbelief and horror. He swiftly walked to the window and opened it for fresh air, he felt like the walls were caving in on him, like he should just jump out of the window.

"You're sick Chiba" He was repulsed with himself. He slammed his fist into the wall wanting to hit his dream away.

"You're so sick" He complained. He knew that this dream was a result of the kiss he gave Usagi in her room. The dream was telling him something, he was robbing her of her innocence. He was taking advantage of her. He felt like he was no better than Akio. He furiously walked to the kitchen and took out orange juice, drinking it straight from the carton. He was exhausted and stressed out.

"This is getting unhealthy." He said to himself sitting down on his couch. He rested his neck on the back trying to regain control on his body.

"What's wrong with me! Why did I have to kiss her! Again!" He wanted to kiss Usagi, his body told him too, his mind told him to; and so did his heart. But he knew that it was getting serious, he was now officially playing with her emotions.

"I'm sorry Usagi." He whispered looking back out to the moon.

……………………………….

Usagi was still up looking out to the moon, slightly smiling. She traced her lips with the tips of her fingers, remembering the kiss, it was much more passionate this time; almost loving. But she sighed, she didn't know why he kissed her like that, than left her like that; so cold and rudely.

"What's going on?" She whispered to herself. The room was dark, just lightly lit by the moonlight. She looked down to Luna sleeping soundly on her bed after recuperating from the shock of Mamoru kissing Usagi. She giggled thinking back to how Luna was questioning her about Mamoru's kiss.

"Mamoru…" She sighed his name wondering what he was thinking, if he liked her. She shook her head. Since when did she want him to like her, since when did she like him back? But than confusion clouded her mind, his manner after kissing her, he just left. She remembered his exact words, replaying it in her head; he was so cold and rude, and top it off he left her so abruptly. She was swarmed with sadness again.

'What's going on Mamoru?

……………………………………..

"Miko, that's a smart sounding name." Usagi expressed laughing at Naru explain her day at school. Usagi thought about walking outside briefly, but than Naru called and pulled her attention.

"So who do I have Naru-chan?" Usagi asked hesitantly, wondering and hoping that it was Mamoru. But she speculated how that would turn out if he was her partner.

"Hold on a second Usagi, let me check." Naru was rummaging through her school bag trying to find the list for their class. Usagi's heart was pounding her in head, shaking her sanity away.

"Okay lets see, Umino has Chiba Mamoru and…." Usagi's head dropped and a small tear drop hang down her head showing her annoyance.

"Oh here, you have Bodai… Akio." Usagi's heart stopped, her face fell; her eyes filling up with tears. Naru called out for her trying to see why she was so silent. When no answer came she started to shout, the freaky silence worrying her.

'No it couldn't ….be' Usagi finally came out of her trance, clearing her throat. Her voice was shaky and nervous.

"Usagi, what's wrong?" Naru asked. Usagi started to laugh hysterically insisting that she was fine. She gave a fake loud yawn and asked to sleep for a bit. Naru was positive that something was wrong but let Usagi go. After she hung up, Usagi went to her room, her face pale and frightened.

"Usagi-chan, what's wrong?" Luna asked sitting up on the table. Usagi didn't say anything, she weakly smiled and sat down on the floor thinking what she should do.

'If I tell my parents they'll tell the school, and then everyone will know what happened to me…' Usagi wanted to cry, she didn't want to be anywhere near Akio; but she didn't want the whole school to know that she was almost raped. She felt shameful. What a twist of fate it was, that Mamoru got Umino and she got Akio. It wasn't fair.

"Usagi-chan, please say something?" Luna begged. Usagi looked down to her, making her decision.

"Aw nothing Luna, Naru-chan just told me that we have a math test tomorrow." Usagi started to laugh scratching the back of her head. Luna shook her head.

"Oh Usagi-chan, you should really study for it." She sighed jumping out and leaving the room to drink some water. Usagi put her head down to the table wondering if this was the right thing to do, but she figured she really had no choice.

"As long as I'm not alone with him, I'm fine. I'll be safe." She convinced herself.

"After all, mom and dad have been through so much with all of this, I just can't do this to them" She sighed once more closing her eyes. The memories of Akio touching her were starting to come back, allowing small tears to fall gently down her cheek.

On the next chapter: What happens when Mamoru finds out that Akio is Usagi's partner?
