Chapter 13

Usagi groaned as she opened her eyes. Her mind was fuzzy as she tried to come into consciousness. Her mind was a blur as she opened her eyes to notice that the roof she was watching wasn't her own bedroom. She blinked in surprise. She tried to move but then she realized that she had someone's arms wrapped around her waist.

Usagi froze, let out a peep and looked up to realized whose arms she was in. She then took stalk of her situation. She looked at her and the boy whose arms she was in. It was Mamoru, a very naked Mamoru on top of whose chest she was lying on. And she also realized very soon that she was naked as well.

Usagi let out a squeak and then fell out of the bed. That was enough to rouse Mamoru as he groaned and opened his eyes. When Mamoru opened his eyes he looked as confused as she felt. He looked at her and then sat up in utter shock.

"Usagi!" he shouted while looking at her.

Usagi, feeling utterly naked now, blushed and pulled the blanket off him and then wrapped herself with it. Her mind now running fast. Now memories started coming back. She had been kidnapped by Zoicite, lost her broach and was in utter pain. Something in her mind gave her power to get away and while in pain she was saved by Mamoru. Then the memories of how they ended up in this situation came and she blushed harder as she remembered how he had kissed her and done…other things.

The odd thing was, she had wanted it. She and Mamoru both seemed to have been in a daze. Almost enchanted. But what had caused it. She blushingly looked up at Mamoru and he closed his jaw and looked away. Though she also noted that his face was bright red.

"I think that's the first time I've heard you say my name" Usagi trailed nervously as she let out an awkward laugh.

"What-I. I don't. I don't know why I did that last night" Mamoru said it as he was looking away, "I'm sorry Usagi" Mamoru said it and Usagi froze.

She didn't know why but a part of her went sad when he said he was sorry. It broke her heart. But why was it making her feel sad? Why did chance of his regret make her feel bad? She didn't understand…

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have taken advantage of you" he finished and Usagi blinked. She then looked up at him. So…he was sorry because he thought he took advantage of her? "I've had inappropriate feelings for you and I don't know what possessed me to behave like that last night so I am sorry" he said sheepishly. His tone holding disappointment. Her eyes widened again and she stared at him in shock. He…he had feelings for her. And why did that make her feel happier?

"I…" Mamoru trailed.

'He is ours' a voice whispered in her mind. That startled Usagi immediately.

'Ours? Who are you?'

'I am you. I will explain later when we are alone, calm Endymion for now. He is panicking thinking he took advantage of us and will retreat. Reassure him, claim him. Otherwise he will be too far out of our reach' said the calm voice in her mind. A voice which weirdly sounded like her. Though the name she used surprised her. Endymion? Why was she calling Mamoru Endymion? And why did that name feel right?

Usagi shook her head and got up while still holding onto her blanket. She sat down next to Mamoru and reached out to place her hand tentatively on top of his hair.

He froze and turned to look at her.

"You weren't the only one doing things last night. I mean I am the one who kissed you so you didn't take advantage of me" Usagi trailed "And I…its weird to say this but I have no complaints about last night" Usagi trailed. Still unsure what happened but not unhappy with the results. Mamoru whipped his head and looked at her. Seeming to look for something and observing her.

He seemed to have found what he was looking for before he looked away with tension leaving him and him looking relieved.

"Ah…so we're mutually to blame?" He asked as he turned to look at her. Usagi looked at him and felt a sudden pull again. Feeling impulsive again, Usagi tackled him, wrapped her arms around his neck and closing the gap between their lips. She felt him stiffen before he wrapped his arms around her waist. After few seconds which felt much longer she pulled back and looked at him.

He blinked but didn't take his hands off her waist.

The squawking of birds from outside seemed to shake them out of their reverie. Usagi stiffened and then suddenly something occurred to her.

"Oh god! My parents! I need to get home!" Usagi shouted and she got off the bed. Uncaring and worried for her parents, she threw the blanket and picked up her clothes which were thrown on the floor in different areas of the room. She hurriedly started throwing her clothes on and wrapped up her hair in its iconic two buns. It was while she was doing that did she notice that her hair was looking less blonde and more silver. With more and more silver streaks coming through her hair. She blinked at the change. How was she going to explain this to her parents?

Once she was ready she turned to look at Mamoru who was observing her. Having been caught by her gaze he blushed and looked away. Usagi couldn't help but giggle, that gained her his look.

"I-we should talk about this but maybe later today? I need to go home my parents must be livid…" Usagi whispered. She turned to go and started walking away when suddenly she felt warm chest behind her and two arms around her waist.

"Mamoru?" she whispered, not daring to look at his face cause she might be tempted to kiss him. Lord knows she was finding it hard to keep hands off him strangely.

"Why were you unconscious last night? On the road?" he asked, concern in his voice.

"I…you know the guy who is incharge of the youmas?" Usagi trailed. She felt Mamoru stiffen but she didn't pay much attention to it "He kidnapped me, shouting that I had a lot of energy and I was going to be food. Suffice to say I ran for my life and I fell unconscious in pain. I guess he must have done something to have caused that pain…" Usagi trailed. She then felt Mamoru caught her arm and spin her until she was right in front of him.

He worriedly caressed her cheeks and pulled her closer.

"He…he what! Are you okay?" he asked in a worried tone.

"Yeah..its fine I am fine. I should go though" Usagi looked up to see his face "Can we talk about this later? I have to go home" Usagi whispered. Mamoru nodded and then let her go.

Usagi gave him one last look and she ran out of his bedroom, marching towards the door.

As soon as she had left Mamoru's apartment and had closed it, she saw a flash which blinded her eyes. When she opened it she noticed that Mercury and Jupiter were in front of her, with Luna in Jupiter's hands.

"Usagi! I am so glad we can track you finally again!" Mercury cried as she hugged her.

"Thank god you are okay!" Jupiter said it and then looked around the corridor "We need to go though. If anyone sees us the paparazzi would have a field day. Let's debrief in my house! We have lots to talk about and it's empty anyway!" Jupiter whispered.

"Talk about what?" Usagi asked

"A lot...wait." Mercury stopped her "Whose apartment did you come out of?" she whispered.

Usagi then blushed and muttered "Mamoru's, the craziest thing happened last night-"

"Mamoru is your soulmate!" Jupiter hissed in shock

Usagi looked at her blankly.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Usagi asked looking at her owlishly.

"Enough girls, teleport to Jupiter's house and we will debrief!" Luna stated it in a commanding tone. The girls nodded and both of the senshis got hold of Usagi and the trio and the talking cat vanished from the hallway.


Mamoru ran his hands through his hair. He had all the memories of last night but didn't understand why he had done what he had done. If he had his wits about he would have never slept with Usagi.

Yes he did have strong feelings for her, that wasn't in doubt. But he also had strong feelings for one other blonde. And the obligation he felt for his princess…

He felt awful that his feeling was divided but couldn't escape the fact that he did love Usagi very much. And there was no way of avoiding that now.

Though events about last night, though he didn't regret, felt odd. He then thought about what Usagi mentioned. Kidnapped by Zoicite…had he given some aphrodisiac to Usagi? Did he have…did the general have those type of vile intentions for Usagi? Just the thought of Usagi being taken advantage off by him had him furious.

It was pure luck that he had found Usagi on the ground. If anyone else had found her…the thought was enough to infuriate him, making something inside of him very angry.

He clenched his fist and shook.

Things happened unnaturally last night but now he couldn't deny his feelings for her. He would confront his divided feelings for the princess and Sailor Moon later, for now he had to look after Usagi and deal with it. He had feelings for her which he couldn't deny and he wouldn't let anything happen to her.

With determination he got up to get ready now. What he hadn't noticed were dark eyes which had been observing him from the open window.
