Oh, it was Nephlite that's the gaurd, not Malachite.

Here it is! After much struggling!

ALERT FOR RAINY DAY READERS: No, I'm not on hiatus. This chapter is making me struggle. I know what has to happen but… I'm having a hard time writing it. I get all depressed thinking about it. I guess I'm trying to halt what'll happen.

So, I'm sorry it's taking so long.

Now, on with the story!!!!!!

-----------------------------

It was a weird sensation, for Usagi, to know that someone would sleep with her in exchange for money. She had always imagined that she would make love, not have sex, with a beautiful man that she was in love with, on a flower filled bed with roses.

Usagi was realistic, she knew that she might not sleep with someone after marrying, but it would have been nice if that could have occurred, too. After all, what could you expect from a girl that was surrounded by beautiful people that slept with other beautiful, rich people at such a young age?

Jadeite had told her that the first time he slept with someone he was about 15 and it was in a dim hotel room with slightly red accents. A lady was waiting in a dark red canopy bed and she had called him over. He wouldn't tell Usagi how it happened but he had said it in such a way that she could imagine herself somewhat like that. Making love and having her man come to her. Yes, her man. Usagi could get very possessive.

She could see herself being comfortable with her dream man and eating breakfast with him afterward, talking about things as if it was normal. But now she had that sense of foreboding and knew that it would never happen like that. She was a host. A prostitute to some and a refined, respectable woman doing her job, to others.

"Well, I have something for you Usagi." Usagi snapped out of her daze and looked up. Jadeite had apparently been talking to her.

Usagi had told Jadeite the bad news the night before. He had grimaced and shook his head. They all knew it would happen. Usagi guessed that Jadeite had the childish hope that she would back away. But she had her reasons for this, so she was going to go through with it.

Right now, though, Jadeite had a see-through white night gown and some frilly bras. Usagi became red.

"Why are you holding that, you pervert!?" she yelled, not looking at his eyes. Jadeite grinned deviously.

"Well, you are going to sleep with someone soon. You should be prepared. Hey look at the bright side; at least I didn't get you panties."

Usagi's face became even rosier. She grabbed the clothes and put them back into the bag. She huffed and said goodbye. She was already late for work. As her peach colored sun dress fluttered away from the room Jadeite sighed.

What had Usagi gotten into? And how could Serenity have allowed it?

-------

Ami scribbled on her note pad furiously. She was tired and all the calls she had taken was not helping. The party last night had been fun but she was paying for it today.

It was sad but since the company had put Usagi on the market, she had been getting a lot of calls.

Good thing for her that Ami had weeded out some of the seedier ones. But then she had to get out her company books to suggest others. It was hard to dissuade them, but Ami had been somewhat satisfied with the results.

Looking through the list she noticed that Mamoru-san hadn't offered anything. She didn't know what to think about that. He could have had her immediately. He could have paid for her and Ami knew that he wouldn't hurt Usagi. She looked at the list again and sighed.

The highest bidder of the day got the girl. And today, it wasn't Mamoru. Ami felt slightly resentful at him for that.

--------

This club room was a dark blue and Usagi felt slightly carefree here. It was away from the other horrid room. She remembered how shocked she was to be here.

Ami had been waiting for her, telling Usagi that a lady was waiting for her in club room B. Usagi stared at her for a second.

"Ami, I don't do ladies. I'm straight. Straight as can be, you know that." Usagi said uneasily. Ami just laughed.

"Not a client silly! Just go." Usagi nodded nervously. She looked back slightly to see Ami seem somewhat confident, which was strange but, whatever.

And now she was here. She didn't know what to expect but she was going to be ready. She hoped.

"Are you Usagi?" asked a clear, silky voice. Usagi looked around and then came across a lady.

She was tall, had dark hair and looked sophisticated, even regal. She had a tight skirt on and a tight white blouse. Her hair was straight and her eyes were dark purple. I'd never seen eyes like that. Her presence was very… rigid, strict.

"Well? Answer up." she said again, flipping her hair back. Usagi noticed that she had a necklace on. It was a golden one with her name on it, Rei it said, and it was scarily similar to the one Usagi had. Knowing Mamoru, it wasn't a coincidence. Well, fine! She should have known.

"Yes, I am." She said, trying to sound sophisticated. Instead it stumbled out and she sounded panicky. So much for trying that.

The lady, Rei stood up and extended her hand. Usagi stared at it and looked up at Rei blankly. Rei seemed to get annoyed.

"Wha-"said Usagi, not understanding. Did she want something? Rei shook her head.

"Shake it for goodness sakes!" she said impatiently. Usagi did so, feeling stupid. She felt so intimidated in her presence, for some reason. Suddenly Rei seemed to be about to leave the room. Usagi looked at her strangely.

"Where are you going?" Usagi asked. Rei turned around and smirked slightly.

"Well, just by seeing you I got the answers I needed." She said.

"What answers?" Usagi asked tensely.

"Well, I wanted to see the type of person you are." She sighed.

"Why?" Usagi asked.

"To see if you were a challenge." Rei said without blinking.

"Challenge for what?" Usagi asked, puzzled.

"Mamoru-san." Rei said with a slight blush. Usagi suddenly began giggling/gagging. Yes, it's apparently possible to do this at the same time.

"You like him!!! How gross!" she said in disbelief. Rei suddenly looked startled.

"I don't like him!!" she said haughtily.

"Then what challenge?" Usagi asked. Rei looked at her, surprised.

"Well, as a host. From what I've heard you're about to go pretty high, and Mamoru has been seeing you a lot so I took it to be true. I don't want you stealing my customers." She said proudly. Usagi snickered.

"Like I want him! Please! And since I've gotten here all I've heard about was Rei this or Rei that. You're like, worshipped here!" Usagi said. Rei blushed some and then spoke up.

"How do you know my name?" she said, suddenly wary. Usagi pointed at her necklace.

"Your necklace. I bet that bastard gives it to every girl. He gave it to me but I didn't wear it. Actually—" Usagi began to think. "— I think I lost it somewhere." Rei sweat dropped.

Suddenly, Usagi giggled.

"You look surprised. Well, actually, you probably are. He seems like the type of guy to get what he wants. But that's why its even more fun to turn him down! Don't you think so?" and she smiled so brightly that Rei couldn't help but smile back.

Suddenly her pocket buzzed. Usagi noticed the brief look of annoyance that went pass her face and looked away.

"Well, I've got to go right now. It was fun talking to you." And as Rei was about to walk away Usagi called out.

"What was your first impression of me?" Rei waved as she walked away, not bothering to turn back to answer.

"A dumb blonde!" Usagi sweat dropped. But Rei hadn't finished, turning her head to the side and somewhat smiling she spoke again. "But… now I know better!" and she left the room.

-------

Ami was waiting for Rei outside, somewhat anxious. Suddenly Rei came out.

"So…. How'd it go?" Ami asked. Rei tried not to look at her. Suddenly she took out her wallet and gave it to Ami. Ami began to laugh.

"I told you'd like her! She's an awesome person, ne?" Rei seemed to get annoyed again.

"She seems… okay." Rei said irritated.

"But the bet was that if you came out smiling that you would give me the money!" said Ami excitedly. Rei just folded her arms.

"Why'd you make that stupid bet with me anyways?" Rei demanded. Ami just smiled.

"Why'd you accept it? And besides, I wanted you to meet her. I knew you two would eventually make good friends! The money was a plus." Ami grinned.

Suddenly Rei took and opened the wallet and gave Ami two hundred dollar bills. Then she sighed. Ami looked at her.

"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned. Rei blushed.

"I just lost 400 dollars today." She whined. Ami looked at her, puzzled.

"But you only gave me two." She said. Rei flushed.

"Well… I made the same bet with Mamoru." She said quietly. Ami laughed again.

-------

"You seem excited today." pointed out Seiya. Usagi smiled ruefully.

"Well, Ami-chan is taking me to a really expensive restaurant!" she said, trying to seem excited.

Actually, that was the only thing she was looking forward to today. She also had the strange feeling that she would meet Mamoru later on today and that was never pleasant.

"Really? Ami's the receptionist, right?" he asked.

"Yep!" said Usagi. Seiya smiled and took a sip of his wine. He refused Usagi's tea, saying he felt like drinking something stronger.

He was really handsome, Usagi noticed. But, she had to admit, Mamoru was much more handsome. However, she preferred Seiya's company. He didn't make her cry. Actually, Mamoru was one of the few people to ever make her cry.

"Well, I saw that you were actually on sale, today." Seiya said. Usagi became red. She hated how she sounded like an object.

"Well, yeah. My boss said that I had to." Usagi said with her head down. Seiya shook his head.

"Well, I'm sorry. Are you going to do it tonight?" Seiya really seemed to pity her. Usagi hated that. It was her choice.

"Yes, at 8 in the club's hotel." She said. Seiya shook his head.

"You're so innocent like. I couldn't bear to hurt you like that." Seiya said sincerely. Usagi smiled. She couldn't wait for this conversation to end.

--------

"Well, hello hello Usagi-chan." Said a familiar, annoying voice. Usagi's head came up.

"Well, hello hello Mamoru-san." Usagi said airily. Mamoru smirked as he sat down.

Usagi immediately stood up to make some tea. She put the water to boil and looked at the tea choices. How about ginger tea? She looked at Mamoru. Yes, she would give it to him in hopes of him disliking it.

"Oh, is that ginger tea? I love it!" Mamoru said, spying the tea packet. Usagi looked at him sharply.

"No, it's lavender tea." Usagi said, quickly changing her mind. He was so frustrating!

"So, I heard you passed the 'beginner stage'." Mamoru said. Usagi became stiff.

Everyone had been mentioning that to her, that day. The always said what a pity it was and how innocent she was but that they would still visit her. Others express their pity at the fact that they couldn't buy her.

But Usagi was a bit surprised by Mamoru's statement. He didn't make her sound like an object, a whore, with that statement. But she was sure he would continue and eventually call her one.

Usagi went to the table and brought some crackers along, to munch on. Also to give her an excuse to not talk to him. Mamoru opened his mouth to talk and Usagi mentally said "here we go".

"What are you going to wear?" Huh? Usagi didn't understand. No one else had asked that. Then all of a sudden her face went red.

"You perv!" Usagi screamed. Mamoru looked shocked for a second and then chuckled.

"I didn't mean it like that!" he said. Usagi glared at him.

"Then what did you mean?" Usagi asked warily. Mamoru smirked.

"Well, you obviously don't want to do it. I figure that what you wear tonight could either make him happier or annoy him."

"I don't get it." And Usagi didn't. Mamoru shook his head impatiently.

"Well, it'll be your first time right?" he said. Usagi blushed.

"Yeah…" she mumbled.

"So, this guy probably knows it. He likes breaking virgins." Get to the point, Usagi wanted to scream. But she waited somewhat patiently.

"And virgins bleed. If he can see the blood on your outfit, he'll probably be happy. Do you see what I mean?"

"Kind of." Usagi now admitted. It was sort of a smart. Not that she would admit it out loud.

"So what were you going to wear?" he asked flippantly. Usagi became red again. Her outfit was all white!

"Who says I'm still not going to wear my outfit?" she pointedly asked. Mamoru snorted.

"Knowing you, you have a cute white outfit prepared." He said and then continued. "So show me."

Usagi became very red and stood up reluctantly to get her bag. She dropped it next to him on the floor and refused to look at him. She could hear the rustling of the bag and then she was severely annoyed by the chuckling.

"Well, there's only one thing to do!" he said. Usagi became a bit surprised. He hadn't made fun of her. She was sort of touched. Sort of.

"What?" she asked cautiously. Mamoru grinned deviously, his eyes sparkling.

"Go out on a date!"

--------

"Serenity-sama?"

"Yes, Mina-chan?" asked a majestically tired voice. Serenity was in her office, typing furiously on her computer. Mina sighed. She tried to straighten out her pleated skirt and continued speaking.

"You weren't at Usagi's party, last night." Suddenly Serenity's head popped up.

"Her party!! How could I forget it?! I even had her birthday gift ready." Serenity said, fuming at herself. Mina shook her head.

"It's okay. Usagi didn't say anything so I doubt she noticed." However she doubted it. Serenity probably did too, since she shook her head furiously.

"Usagi wouldn't say anything Mina!" Mina put her head down and sighed. Serenity continued.

"I promised her I wouldn't do that to her again. It's just that I had to travel overnight to seal a business deal and I was so tired that I just stayed in one of my hotel rooms." Serenity sighed.

"I'll make it up for her" she said. Minako looked to the side.

"Oh and another thing, Usagi isn't going to come home tonight." Said Minako. Serenity seemed puzzled.

"Why?" Mina looked down again.

"Why do you think?"

---------

"Do you normally take girls here on dates?" Usagi asked skeptically. Mamoru chuckled.

"I thought you said it wasn't a date." He said. Usagi's eyes began to twitch. She wanted to punch him. Badly.

"It isn't a date. I'm just wondering if you normally take girls to Victoria's Secrets?" she said, her face red and an annoyed vibe radiating from her. Mamoru just smirked.

"Let's go in." he said, stepping into the store. Usagi looked up quickly.

"Hey! You didn't answer my question!" and suddenly a loud scream came from the store.

"Welcome Chiba-san!" said the store ladies from inside. Mamoru turned around and smirked again.

"As you can see, I didn't have to answer your question." And he walked in, greeting several ladies.

Usagi glared at him so severely that the ladies in the shop feared for his life, but he seemed to just wave it off. So Usagi just scoffed and walked away, looking at several things. Mamoru smiled and joined her. Usagi picked out a scarlet nightgown.

"What do you think about this?" Mamoru felt it.

"No, first of all, it's red. It means passion, lust and looks just like blood. Second of all, it's silk." Usagi pouted.

"But it'll feel good on my skin!" Usagi whined. Mamoru ignored what she said and continued.

"And third of all, it doesn't flatter you at all!" Usagi looked at Mamoru, slightly amused.

"You sound gay." Mamoru raised an eyebrow and spoke up, huskily.

"Do I?" Usagi grinned defiantly at him.

"You do."

Usagi was convinced that if they hadn't been looking through nightgowns and underwear, that they sounded like regular friends. He was making her smile and even though she was preparing for tonight, it didn't feel like it at all. She felt… happy.

"I think you should wear this black one." Mamoru suggested. Usagi looked at it. It was definitely short but was somewhat see though at the chest area and lace filling up certain areas to give the illusion of curvy hips. It was adorable. She looked at the price tag. No way.

"It's okay." She said. Mamoru looked at her strangely and then he looked at the skimpy outfit.

"Really? Because I thought it would look adorable on you." Usagi looked up at him, touched.

"Really?" Usagi asked. Mamoru nodded seriously.

"Yes. I mean, its color would make you look skinnier, and all the frills would make you look curvier."

Usagi was suddenly beyond annoyed; she was irritated, exasperated and frustrated. She turned around and walk out of the store.

"Usagi, wait!" but Usagi didn't. She just kept walking. Suddenly she heard someone panting next to her.

"What's wrong?!" Mamoru asked, trying to catch his breath. Usagi stopped and suddenly turned around.

"Why did you even suggest to bring me there?!" she demanded. Mamoru looked at her and somewhat smiled.

"Because you seemed stressed. I wanted to take your mind off that." He said. It left Usagi breathless. He was worried about her.

Suddenly she could feel herself smiling. She turned around again, so he wouldn't see it. He really did make her feel somewhat better. Usagi spoke up.

"Well… thank you for that." Mamoru shook his head.

"Last time I met you, I made you cry. I thought it was justified. I was trying to tell you the truth. It was even worse since it was your birthday. I like being able to brag that every girl I meet moans from pleasure. It wasn't a me thing to do."

By now he was trying to dodge Usagi. He was chuckling. Usagi was trying to kill him. It really was a nice day, wasn't it?

----------

The night, however, was a different thing. It was dark outside. Usagi could tell from looking through the hotel window. She shivered a bit as she looked at her nightgown. Mamoru had bought it for her before he ran out of the shop, so Usagi couldn't deny it. What was he going to do with it? Wear it?

Suddenly little giggles escaped Usagi's lips. Then she sobered up. The man was about to be here. It made Usagi want to scream. She didn't want this. She silently reminded herself why she did this. No one knew except for her. She sighed.

Suddenly the door opened and in came in a man that she barely recognized. It was her first assignment; the one that wanted to "break her". Usagi shivered mentally. Then she saw him frown.

"Black? I don't like it. You're not a slut. Yet." He said, now smiling as Usagi absorbed his words.

He moved towards her with a purpose and grabbed her. He made her skin crawl, but she chanted in her head "my mission, my mission". Then he began to kiss her. Usagi kept her mouth shut. She simply couldn't move it. "My Mission, My Mission" she continued chanting, her stronghold crumbling.

He pried her mouth open and she still chanted in her head, doubt growing. "MY MISSION! MY MISSION!" Suddenly he pushed her onto the bed, grabbing her wrist, and smirked.

"Don't worry; it'll get easier… after the pain."

Suddenly he began to kiss her down from her neck. Usagi struggled. She couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to die. Tears welled up in her eyes. She could still complete her mission without doing this, right? She tried to convince herself. She couldn't. But still…

"No." Usagi said. The man looked at her, smiling.

"Finally, she speaks. And the first words she says are what I want to hear." He kept kissing her. Usagi pushed him off.

"NO." she repeated. He sniggered and moved towards her. Usagi became scared.

--------------

Mamoru didn't know why he was here. Maybe it was that horrible guilt that persuaded him or maybe it was because he had booked Rei. He shook his head. He had arranged this hotel. The one he knew Usagi would be in.

Actually, he was on the wrong floor too. Usagi's floor. He shook his head. He was so silly. She would probably fly through it. Suddenly he heard a voice.

"NO." It was Usagi's voice. The door was right in front of him. He stared at it.

"Stop!" and then he heard someone laughing.

"Please… don't! Please…" Usagi was begging.

Mamoru couldn't believe his ears. She sounded so vulnerable. It was so unlike her. She was a strong person. The one that entertained him. His hands hovered over the door knob. Of course it wouldn't work, he reasoned. The man probably locked the door.

Mamoru began banging on it. It seemed like they either didn't hear him or the man was ignoring him.

"Let go of me! LET GO!" that was better. She was back. But… this still didn't do a thing for her.

Suddenly an ear splitting scream could be heard. Mamoru looked up in shock, his body rigged.

"NOOOO!!!!!!" she was sobbing. From what he could hear it was too late.

So Mamoru walked away, leaving the build. He was too bitter to sleep with Rei. He hated himself.

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" continued the piercing sobbing scream.

------------

The ending almost made me cry…(sighs) Short chapter but a huge catalyst for what will come. Oh… and Usagi's reason? You'll all see soon.(winks)

On another note: Should I change this story to M? Not that there will be any lemons. It's just that I may say some explicit things. Maybe.

Sakura Ai: Don't hate me! I couldn't stop the ending. Usagi's so stubborn and Mamoru only feels regret for his command… It really is his fault. Not mine. But… at least a gave you some fluff (looks up hopefully) so don't be too mad.

REVIEW!!!!
