I Belong With You

Chapter 1
Into Your Waiting Arms

Mamoru was sitting in his front room pondering on life. He was missing his childhood best friend, whom he hadn't seen much since she entered a relationship with Daisuke, his younger cousin after her parents and brother were killed in a fire two years before. Sure at least they saw each other around, and when he waved she would give a small smile back and hurry away like she was rushing

"What has he done to you Usako?... Usako, where did that come from? Oh my god, I'm falling for her, and hard, but I can't have her. She's Daisuke's for one, and two, how would it impact our strong friendship if I told her my true feelings? Oh Usako, I hope you are okay." He decided to ring his younger sister Rei, who was also friends with Usagi he picked his phone up and dialed her number.

As soon as Rei answered the phone Mamoru started talking. "Hey Rei. It's me. I know you're on your honeymoon now, and this is going to cost me a bomb, but are you free to talk?" He fiddled with the tassels on Usagi's favorite cushion.

Rei's voice hardly showed any impatience. "Yeah, sure," she said. "What's bothering you at ten o'clock at night spanish time big brother?" She could feel his worry in waves.

"Usagi." The way his heart began to beat that little bit harder when he uttered his bunny's name scared but enthralled him.

"Say no more. Jade collared her in the street the other day, when we noticed she didn't turn up at our wedding. Neither did Daisuke for that matter. I'm worried about her as well. He said she looked broken, withdrawn and very frightened when Jade collared her. What's worrying me more is that Jade also said she was in a long-sleeved turtleneck and trousers in the middle of summer. This time of year she's normally in dresses, skirts and shorts. I've got a really bad feeling." She admitted. Mamoru went from calm to almost fever pitch rage.

"Gah, damn it Rei, why didn't you call me sooner? Jade is my brother in law as well as my friend. Yes, I noticed it as well when they didn't turn up. I think everyone missed them, especially Usa. I missed her." He felt stupid now. He should have known something was wrong. Usagi would not miss her best friend's wedding.

"Oh my god, so you finally admit it. You have feelings stronger than a brother sister relationship for her. About time, big brother." She held back a giggle.

"What... No. Okay yes I do have feelings for her, but she's not on the market and I don't want to destroy the friendship." He was scared.

"She had the same feelings too, but when she got with Asshole, you were with Saori... and look how well that turned out! I told you she was bad news but you don't listen, do you?" She really did act like the responsible big sister at times, especially when she could see her older brother being a baka.

"Okay rub salt in the wound why don't you Pyro?" He really felt chastized and wanted to pout.

He was interrupted by the shrill sound of his doorbell. He went to the door and looked into the peephole and his jaw fell in shock.

"Who is it Mamoru?" Rei asked, worry in her tone

Mamoru: Oh my god. It's Usagi. You were right I've gotta go Rei. I will ring you tomorrow, love you, say hi to Jadeite for me. He was nearing panic at the sight of her.

He pressed the end call button, put the phone in his pocket, and opened the door to find a crying Usagi.

"Usagi-Chan, are you okay?" Usagi looked up at the handsome figure and cried harder. Mamoru pulled her in and noticed she had nothing with her.

She was crying and struggling to get her words out. Mamoru tried to get her sitting on the sofa, but she was hesitant. "Oh Mamo-chan. He took my innocence," she cried.

Mamoru was enraged at this thought. He knew she was waiting until she was married. "What?! When?!" he asked, trying to keep a cool facade for Usagi.

"A- About an hour ago. Oh Mamo I I was t-terrified. H-he tied m-me down so I would k-keep still and h-he forced himself inside of me." she collapsed into his arms and cried.

"Usako please tell me what happened," he was fighting his own tears of rage at his cousin.

"The p-pain was i-intolerable. He-he fell asleep after he had his way," she went quiet.

"Usa how did you get here?" Mamoru coaxed.

"... W-with me so I-I untied myself and ran for it. Rei and Jade weren't home so you were the closest person I could get too," she collapsed into his arms and wept.

Mamoru tried to comfort her, but she cried out in pain. "Usagi-chan what the hell has my cousin done to you?" he asked.

"Promise you won't get mad?" Usagi asked, her cerulean eyes begging.

"I promise. I would never get mad at you anyway, unless we were just playing," he smiled encouragingly.

She nodded, but apprehension was on her face as she took her jumper off. Her body from her neck down was covered in bruises, cuts, and burns. He had to look away for a moment to stop himself from being sick. What startled him most was the handprints round her neck

"Oh, Usagi-chan, we are going to have to go to the police, I'm afraid. I know you're scared, but Daisuke will pay for this. I will call Kunzite up and tell him to be ready at the police station." He got his phone out and rang Kunzite.

"Kun I'm bringing Usagi to the police station. She doesn't look good but I will get her to the hospital after and he's going to pay... Okay thanks Kunzite." He put the phone down.

"Mamoru. You don't have any of Rei's clothes here, do you? If you do, can I borrow them?" Usagi asked Mamoru in virtually a whisper.

He nodded. "Follow me."

They went to Rei's old room and got a pair of her old sweats and a baggy t-shirt, which was actually Jadeite's. "Here you go Usagi-chan. I will be downstairs."

He started to exit the room, but Usagi grabbed his hand. "Please stay," she squeaked, and he nodded. She started undressing again and winced as she did.

"Do you need help?" Mamoru asked.

She nodded. "Please be gentle," she said in just above a whisper. He undressed her carefully and noticed how thin she was.

"Oh Usagi, I'm so sorry." Regret filled every syllable.

Tears ran down her cheeks as he undressed her. He placed Jadeite's t-shirt on her frame. It fell down to her knees and slipped off her shoulders. He thought it was adorable.

"Okay Usagi-chan, I'm going to take your trousers now and replace them," Mamoru said.

"They're actually Deisuke's so I don't care if you rip them off," Usagi said. He took the trousers off and winced at the sight of her legs.

"That bastard is going to die" Mamoru growled under his breath.

"I don't want him dead, I don't think Mamoru. I just want him to go to jail," she said.

"How long has this gone on Usa?" Mamoru asked.

"For about three months, ever since I moved in with him. He was the perfect boyfriend until then. I regret it now. But it's over. Does he know where you live Mamoru?" Usagi asked with a little hope in her whisper.

Mamoru shook his head. "Do you want to stay here Usagi?" he asked as he put her trousers on, trying not to notice the blood on her legs.

Usagi nodded. "Please," She stood again and gathered the clothes up.

"The police are going to need these aren't they?" she asked.

"Yes they are. Lets get them in a carrier bag and make a move. Kunzite will be waiting. Hang on, where's your cat Luna?" Mamoru asked, now concerned about the cat's safety

"I left her with Minako and Kun. She and Artemis are getting on better recently," Usagi explained.

Mamoru breathed out, relieved. "Okay let's go."

Usagi put the clothes in a carrier bag and they drove toward the police station. Mamoru saw how uncomfortable Usagi was as she sat down.

'I wish I could help you more Usako, but I doubt you want a relationship now. Stupid Daisuke. Trying to break my Usa' he thought possessively.

They arrived at the police station, where Kunzite was waiting for them. He was conversing with the receptionist. Mamoru cleared his throat and Kunzite looked up. "Ah, Mr. Chiba and Miss Tsukino. You made it, I see. The receptionist will need to get your details miss Tsukino."

Usagi shook her head, and looked at him pleadingly. "Officer Ine, I don't know her. I just want to talk to you please," she begged with tears in her eyes.
