Cheating Trust

By: wiccariangoddessofthemoon

Mamoru's heart sank, he froze at that moment when he saw his beloved being kissed by another man and she was enjoying it. The two got in the elevator and Mamoru waited until he saw what elevator they stopped at. But just as he was about to follow a security guard stopped him.

Guard: "Hey kid you can't go up there."

Mamoru just froze and tried to think of something when suddenly he saw the guard wedding ring and came up with an idea:

"Well it's just I want to surprise my girlfriend because I plan on proposing real soon and I wanted to see her and get her dinner afterwards." Nice save!

Guard: "I suppose it's okay...just don't mention this to anyone!"

Mamoru: "Thank you so much!"

Mamoru got in the elevator, once on the floor he thought Usagi had gotten off he started searching for her, until he heard her distinct giggles. He poked his head in the room and there he saw her and she looked absolutely breath taking: she wore a strapless satin red gown and it had a slit on the side that went up her thigh, she had blood red high heels and her hair was done in an elegant bun. But what he didn't like was the man at her side was the one he had seen several times, the man who had her necklace. And here he was with his arm on her waist and a hand caressing her cheek while she looked at the camera seductively. He clenched his fists, he just couldn't think clearly. He was confused, the love of his life who had proclaimed her love for him endless times was kissing another man just seconds ago and modeling with him as well, not to mention he was in the apartment complex she lived and had had her necklace. He knew what this meant: she had something going on with this man, but until he had some evidence he would keep quiet. Mamoru walked dejectedly out of the building and went back to his apartment. While back at the photo shoot:

"Great job everyone! Now let's wrap up and leave!" the director said as they finished the photo shoot. Everybody left leaving only the two models behind. The blonde one turned and smiled at the brunette.

Usagi: "So I guess since we finished early we can do something else now?" she said with a wicked grin. He just sighed and said: "Why not just go out and eat? I mean is good to spend quality time in bed but we should go out." She paled and tried her puppy dog face.

Usagi: "Oh come on Leon! I'm in the mood for…you know?"

Leon: "…Why are you so afraid of going out with me? Is it that you don't like being seen with me?" he said with sadness in his eyes. She saw this and tried to reason with him.

Usagi: "You know exactly why we can't." He sighed and looked somewhere else.

Leon: "Because of your boyfriend…" she started to get desperate because of the pain she inflicted on him.

Usagi: "Okay let's go out to dinner and then for a walk. Okay?" she looked at him with hopes in her eyes. He glanced at her and knew he couldn't refuse her.

Leon: "Okay… let's go." He grabbed her hand and made their way to the wardrobes to get changed.

While back at the Sunset restaurant Mamoru was sulking and talking about his problems with his best friend Motoki.

Mamoru: "I just don't know what to do anymore, Motoki. She keeps putting up walls and distances herself from me. It's like she doesn't want to be with me anymore!" he punched the table hunched his back. Motoki only looked at him for a few seconds and decided to finally talk.

Motoki: "Look Mamoru, maybe it's not that. Maybe she is just stressed out. Or maybe…I don't know but I know she loves you so…" he trailed off as he saw who had comed in the restaurant and it was none other than: Usagi and Leon, his hand on her waist and both smiling. Motoki's eye widened at the sight and tried desperately to make sure Mamoru didn't see them but when he glanced at Mamoru it was too late: he had seen them and looked incredibly pale. Motoki panicked and didn't know what to do and tried to make excuses for her behaviour.

Motoki: "Umm…maybe he is a friend from work and they are really close…umm you know like he is gay or something." But Mamoru wasn't responding, he was as still as rock, unresponsive. Then they heard her giggles, at this Motoki glanced at Mamoru who just mumbled sadly: "She doesn't giggle around me anymore…she just …." Mamoru got up and ran out of the restaurant, while Motoki decided to take action. He walked up to the smiling couple and stood there until they acknowledged him. Finally Usagi looked and paled considerably while her eyes widened.

Usagi: "Motoki! I…um…that is…" she trailed off and didn't know what to say.

Motoki: "Usagi we need to talk." She nodded and whispered to Leon to wait. Once they were out of hearing range Motoki addressed her.

Motoki: "Usagi I hope you have a good explanation to this, you have no idea how this is affecting Mamoru!" She looked down ashamed and knowing that there was no way out of this she started her story.

Usagi: "Well, I met Leon some 4 months ago. We bumped into each other and accidentally broke a crystal figure I had with me. He offered to make up for it by taking me to dinner, I hesitated but finally agreed. We had a pleasant time, we enjoyed each others company so much we decided to go out again. I found out he was working for the same modeling company as me and we almost saw each other every day. After a month or so we had become intimate after a drunken night, but we didn't regret it. It wasn't until the morning after we realized how we felt about each other… We decided to see each other in secret. He would come to my apartment at night or I would go to his, always dinner and a movie…and well…you know." Motoki listened and felt a little sympathy for her, he knew of her and Mamoru's destiny and about their alter egos for some time now. He knew that she didn't mean to hurt Mamoru at all but couldn't push aside her feelings. But still, a betrayal is that: a betrayal.

Usagi: "Motoki, there is something else too. Leon…is the prince of the sun. He was my fiancée in the Silver Millennium, but we didn't get to meet because the night of his arrival was also the night of Queen Beryl's attack. Back then there was a prophecy that if the Prince of the Earth ever got involved with the Moon Princess it would be ruin. It was my destiny to marry Leon in that time but I met Mamoru and well you know the rest."

Motoki: "Well this is a lot to process…"

Usagi: "Motoki please don't mention any of this to Mamoru! Or any one, only the girls know about this!" she pleaded but at the last sentence his head snapped.

Motoki: "What do you mean the girls know about this? They have known and haven't said anything! They are ok with this?!" She looked down again and nodded.

Usagi: "Well not exactly ok with it but they said that they do not wish for my heart to suffer anymore. They know how much I suffered since becoming Sailor Moon and just want me to be happy whatever it takes. That's why every time I stay over at Leon's they cover up for me saying I'm staying at one of their houses. Look Motoki, I know that what I'm doing is wrong but…I just…can't picture myself leaving Leon! I love him way too much!" she started sobbing uncontrollably and the only thing Motoki could do was hug her tightly imagining how bad she must feel and he wasn't making it any better. After 5 minutes, Leon came out with a concerned look in his face, and then paled when he saw Usagi in Motoki's arms. Motoki looked up and loosened his grip on Usagi, he took some steps forward and stopped him.

Motoki: "HEY! You must be Leon. I'm Motoki Furuhata." He stretched his hand to shake Leon's. Leon shook his hand but with a relieved face.

Leon: "It's nice to finally meet you! Usako has talked so much about you." He smiled while Motoki winced at the nickname he had for her.

Motoki: "I'm sorry I can't say the same." Leon and Usagi looked away. Motoki noticed and spoke up again. "Look. You must understand Usa-chan is like my sister, but Mamoru is my best friend. I can't say I approve of this, but I want her to be happy. So you better not hurt her or you will have not one but 5 or six people who will be after you with murder in our minds." With that he smiled, kissed Usagi's forehead and cheek and left. Usagi and Leon just stood there looking at Motoki's retreating back, wondering what would happen next. Things weren't looking up to them.

TAN TAN TAN! Well this is the third chapter of Cheating Trust. If anybody was wondering about the voice in Mamoru's head but he isn't going crazy the voice isn't his conscience or anyhting of the sort but something else, something that wants to separate Mamoru and Usagi.

Please R&R!
