Three weeks went by full of flirting, laughter and deep happiness. Slowly Usagi's worries were disappearing, her mind was focused only on Mamoru and how of a saint he had been. She felt a connection between them, a lot deeper and stronger then attraction and she feared she was falling in love. However, this fear was more of a thrill and a worry that he couldn't return the feeling, little did she know that he did.

Mamoru and Usagi were at the front desk laughing away, Mamoru was on one side with Usagi opposite him. They both sighed gently with the ache of laughter in their stomachs.

Mamoru looked at Usagi as she looked up at him. They both smiled at one another simultaneously. He suddenly felt nervous and scared.

"U…Usagi-Chan…?" He began through a small voice

Usagi frowned at the sudden changed in mood, "Yes?"

"Howwouldyouliketogotodinnerwithmetonght?" Mamoru blurted out suddenly. He silently cursed when he saw the look of bewilderment on the golden beauty's face.

"Nani?" She asked with a small laugh

He smiled nervously and took a deep sigh.

"Would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight?" He asked again through hopeful and worried eyes. This is make it, or break it, Mamoru.

Usagi stared at him through disbelieving eyes. Then pure happiness kicked in.

"Mamoru I would love to!" She cried through a wide smile.

"Brilliant!" He grinned "I'll pick you up around 7?"

"Sounds great, I have to get back to work now. See you at seven," She smiled once more then casually walked out of reception with her stomach doing flips inside her.

"He asked you out on a date?!" Rei, the raven-haired receptionist asked the blonde in front of her.

Minako and Rei were around the back of one of the rooms on their break when a bubbly blonde girl came running up to them clearly excited.

"I told you this would happen, Usagi-Chan!" Minako cried with joy, "Love at first sight, remember?" She grinned at the blonde when she received a scowl in return.

"Will one of you babysit Miako tonight for me, please?" Usagi asked

"I will. It's not like I have a life anyway…" Rei volunteered with slight bitterness towards her uneventful life.

"Thank you Rei-Chan," Usagi smiled. All of a sudden she gasped. "I have nothing to wear! What am I going to do!?"

"Calm down Usagi-Chan, we'll go shopping after our shift! Everything will be fine…" Minako soothed quickly. Usagi let out a breath of relief.

"Arigato guys, you're life savers…"

"We know," Both Rei and Minako chimed, blowing on their nails and grinning at Usagi.

Half past three came along and Usagi was in hysterics.

"What If I don't get ready in time! What if he changes his mind? What if I get something to over-dressed or under-dressed for where we're going, oh I should have asked him where he's taking me… but then it wouldn't be a surprise and I might seem too clingy and needy and that's not good…"

"USAGI!" Minako screamed, interrupting the blondes rambling. "Everything will be fine, just take a big breath and relax… I know exactly where you're going so I know exactly how you should dress…"

Usagi took a sigh of relief and noticed the road they were on.

"Where are we going?" She asked quickly, looking around her.

"To the large shopping mall in Juban,"

Usagi panicked immensely. That was too close to her old life and her violent husband.

"Can we go somewhere else?" She asked, trying not to sound so desperate.

"Why?" Minako asked, suspicion kicking in.

"Because…. Because I don't like big shopping malls… too many people and I get claustrophobic," She lied, watching as Minako pulled into a multistory car park.

"Well we're here now and it's the best place to shop in Tokyo, don't worry Usagi-Chan we're going to have a blast!" She smiled encouragingly.

Usagi sighed deeply. Her mind was ticking away with the possibility of Kieran being in that same mall or one of his powerful followers.

Come on Usagi, it'll be fine! He's probably forgotten all about you, it's been a month…. He would have moved on to another girl by now

Usagi wasn't persuaded, she knows Kieran, he would be hunting high and low for her, getting his friends to look out for her and he won't give up easily. However, what was the chance of him being there? Slim to none… he had work till 8pm on a Friday. She would be fine…

"Okay Minako, let's go…" Usagi smiled bravely, taking away any unsure emotions in her eyes and voice.

"Great!" Minako squealed, she grabbed Usagi by the hand and ran off towards the stores.

Two hours later, Usagi was still being dragged into each shop, she was laughing merrily behind the eager blonde, and all her doubts had lifted after walking into the mall and seeing swarms of people everywhere.

She had many shopping bags full of different things including a suitable dress for tonight's special occasion.

"Minako slow down!" Usagi giggled being hauled along the floor.

"Major…sale! Must….grab….that….skirt!" She could hear the determination in Minako's voice as her eyes settled on the target in a shop window with a large '70 off' sign attached to it. Usagi laughed again and allowed Minako to throw her into the store.

Little did she know she was being watched carefully by two well built men in gray suits. One pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, dialing a number quickly.

"Boss, we've found her…" He said smugly

"Excellent! Follow her back to where ever she's staying and be hidden…" A powerful voice replied

"Got it…" The man said and put the phone down.

At the other end of the line Kieran slammed down his phone with an evil glint in his eye. I knew you would slip up at some point Usagi, I've got you now…. His evil laugh echoed throughout the office.

Usagi fell onto the passenger seat in the car with a tired sigh.

"Shopping with you is so energetic, Minako-Chan," She almost whined, tending to her aching feet. She was sure they were bleeding.

Minako giggled innocently, starting up the car engine and reversing out of her parking space, a black Mercedes following behind her.

Usagi's eye caught the time and she screamed, "Its half five! I only have an hour and a half to get ready! Shit!"

Minako gasped, "Don't worry Usagi-Chan, I'll get you home ASAP," She grinned slyly. As they exited the car park Minako's foot slammed onto the accelerator and they speed off with Usagi screaming that she was going to die.

"FUCK!" The driver of the black Mercedes shouted fiercely.

"CATCH UP TO THEM THEN!" The other shouted

"IM TRYING!"

- - - -

"Minako for the love of Christ, slow down! I don't want to die and miss my date!" Usagi cried hanging onto her seat tightly as Minako swung around a corner.

"Oh Usagi don't be such a wimp, am going to get you to that motel and ready for your date! Hold tight!" She laughed as she sped up even more.

Usagi shut her eyes tightly, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die," She chanted over and over again. They turned another corner and Usagi screamed.

- - - -

"Where did they go?!" The driver shouted, rounding the corner they watched the two blonde shoot around.

"Find them!" The passenger cried "That corner!"

The driver went down that corner and found no speeding car.

"FUCK!" They both shouted together.

- - - -

Minako came to a screeching halt at the motel and Usagi leapt out of the car, her face was deadly white, her hair fizzy and wild and her eyes as wide as dinner plates.

"Oh Usagi it wasn't that bad," Minako giggled. "Come on; let's go get you ready,"

Usagi could only nod slightly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST THEM!?" Kieran shouted at the two men sitting opposite him, only a desk in the way of preventing him strangling them.

"They were driving so fast and we couldn't catch up without them noticing we were following them…" The driver explained with a scared face.

"YOU FUCKING INVAILIDS!"

They flinched and looked at him through apologetic and fearful eyes.

"Sir, they can't have gone far… they must be close to the city…" The driver explained softly.

Without another word Kieran pulled out a gun from his waist and shot the driver in-between the eyes. He fell to the floor with a thud, motionless and limp. Blood surrounded the back of his head and the other man whimpered at his friend's death.

"That..." Kieran pointed to the corpse of his office floor, "Is what happens to you if you fuck up again! Do you hear me?" Kieran stated calmly.

"Y…Yes sir," The man bowed with a small sob.

"Clean that shit up and FIND HER!" He shouted angrily once more then stormed out of his office leaving one afraid, sad man and a dead body.
