Posting this one now since it is shorter and I don't want to keep everyone hanging to long. Still got more to come. This chapter to me is more like a filler leading up to the next one. I hope you enjoy. I enjoyed all the reviews on the last chapte. EvaC.
Chapter 14
Mamoru walked over to Beryl and pulled her into his arms and started kissing her on the face closing his eyes trying to think about someone else. "Oh Mamoru it seems like ages since we have been able to be alone…. totally all alone." Beryl said as she watched Mamoru as he unbuttoned her shirt removing it then working on her bra while his mind shut down not wanting to think. Beryl removed his hands and started kissing him while they walked to the bed and sat down.
Mamoru looked at the wall in front of him as he felt Beryl taking off his clothes making Beryl surprised that he was letting her do it since before he always stopped her. She slowly kissed her way down his body again surprised that Mamoru wasn't stopping her and even moving her head slowly to be lower with his hands. Mamoru closed his eyes and his head went back as he pictured another doing what Beryl was doing to him while he held her head to his body listening to her mouth making noise. After a few minutes Mamoru felt Beryl move up and start to kiss him again while she pushed him back to be lying on the bed. Mamoru opened his eyes when he felt Beryl move from him and get off the bed.
Mamoru sat up and moved to be under the covers and laid on his back and watched while Beryl slowly took off her clothes the whole time smiling at Mamoru who was already naked. Mamoru knew deep down that he was only going to be using Beryl to release the need he had been having. He reached under his pillow for the condom then put the condom on while Beryl walked to the bed. Mamoru closed his eyes after Beryl got into the bed and under the cover beside him and they started kissing again. Beryl's mind thinking that she was finally going to trap Mamoru into being hers for good and Mamoru's mind thinking about a young blonde back home who he couldn't get off his mind.
Mamoru pictured Usagi being the one in his arms while he felt Beryl move to be on top of him since she wanted to take control. Mamoru gasped out loud when he felt Beryl start to kiss up and down on his chest. Mamoru with his eyes closed tight grabbed her head then her body and moved Beryl up and started to move her to be on top of his body totally. He moved his hands up and felt her breast while his eyes flew open and realized that it wasn't Usagi on top of him like he had been trying to picture.
Mamoru stopped his hands from moving on Beryl's back and lay there not moving while Beryl continued to kiss his face. "Oh Mamo…finally!" Beryl gasped out as she started to move her body down on to him. "Mamochan…." Mamoru remembered Usagi saying his name the last time he had talked to her a few days before. He remembered the huge smile on her face while she looked at him the last time he had seen her.
"Beryl stop." Mamoru said as he moved his hands back to her hips to stop her from going down on him all the way. "Beryl stop now. I'm sorry but I can't do this….I can't use you." Mamoru said as he rolled them so she was under him. Moving so fast that before Beryl could stop him Mamoru was off of her and standing up. "Why did you stop? We just got started." Beryl asked as she sat up. Mamoru grabbed his pants and put them on fast. "I'm very sorry but I can't use you like this…..You are not who I really want." Mamoru said in a soft voice he then walked to his bathroom and went in and closed and locked the door. Beryl sat there shocked that he had just left her alone. She wondered what he had said before he walked away since she hadn't heard him.
Beryl got up and got mad as she put her clothes on fast. She just about ran out of the room not seeing Motoki who had shown up. He looked in to the room and saw Mamoru's bed messed up and by the look in Beryl's eyes and her hair messed up Motoki could tell that they had been doing something and knowing Mamoru like he did Motoki knew Mamoru had stopped it. Motoki sighed, closed the door then turned around and followed Beryl.
He grabbed Beryl by the arm then took her back to her room knowing that Beryl would try to trap Mamoru. He suddenly thought about Kazuo and the day the boy went to him before he had left to go home to his parents, asking just about begging Motoki to protect Mamoru from everything.
So Motoki did what he had to do to protect his best friend. He slept with Beryl making sure to finish and making sure not to wear a condom so when she went and tried to say that Mamoru had gotten her pregnant Motoki would be able to say that it was his. But Motoki knew for a fact that Beryl was protected from getting pregnant. He knew that she was on the pill and had even heard her tell some friends that she wasn't going to get pregnant anytime soon since she couldn't stand kids. Afterwards Motoki whispered to her not to tell Mamoru since he didn't want his best friend mad and Beryl agreed since at that moment she still thought she was Mamoru's girl.
Mamoru stood in the bathroom and looked down and removed the empty condom he had on. He started the water in the shower and got in being thankful that it was cool water. He stood there letting the shower water come down on him while his mind kept picturing Usagi. Mamoru got upset knowing that he had to stop thinking about her. He knew that he was thinking about her more since they had spent almost every day that he was home together.
Mamoru sighed out loud and turned the water off being thankful that his hard on had gone away. Mamoru dried off then got dressed for bed and got into it and lay there trying to clear his mind. He reached for his wallet and looked at the pictures that he had put in there looking at the one of Usagi last. He pulled out the very first letter she had ever written to him and smiled while he read the part where she wrote that she loved him and missed him. Mamoru wondered what she really thought about him wondering if she even understood what real love was.
For Mamoru knew that he had fallen in love with the young girl. Mamoru hated that he had forgotten to ask her before he left. And he didn't want to ask over the phone or in a letter. He wanted to ask her face to face so he could tell by her eyes what she really felt. Mamoru admitted to himself at that moment that he was head over heels in love with Usagi and would do what he could to win her love from everyone else family or not.
Mamoru put everything away and looked at Motoki as he came into their room fast and locked the door then ran to the bathroom. He didn't even look at Mamoru making Mamoru wonder what was wrong. Mamoru lay there and heard the shower on and started to fall asleep after Motoki didn't come out right away.
Mamoru went to sleep knowing that he would have to tell Beryl sorry and he knew that he was going to break up with her since she wasn't want he really wanted. Mamoru would not use her as a replacement and not be happy. Mamoru also knew that the next time he went home that he was going to ask Usagi what she felt for him and tell her that he loved her and take it from there.
Mamoru was suddenly woken up to Motoki standing over his bed in only his towel. The two of them looked at each other. "You better be glad that you are my best friend and that I love you as a brother!" Motoki said after he was sure Mamoru was fully awake. Mamoru looked at him and sat up after Motoki walked away and went to his side of the room and got some nightclothes on. Motoki looked at Mamoru again after he was sitting on his own twin bed. "You can thank me later." Motoki then said. He then got into his bed and covered up his whole body with his covers. "Motoki….." Mamoru started to say but then got silent. He lay back wondering what Motoki had done and had meant. Mamoru found out a week and a half later.
The next day Mamoru went to Beryl and told her he was sorry not only for the night before but also that he couldn't be with her any more. Beryl watched him as he blushed really bad and wouldn't look at her fully. Beryl surprised him when she only smiled her famous fake smile and told him okay and then she walked away fast. Mamoru wondered if Beryl was okay but didn't think long about her since Motoki showed up beside him and they walked to their next class together. Mamoru never knew that Beryl had spotted Motoki as he had walked over to them.
Mamoru soon forgot Beryl since she avoided him at all times. Motoki made sure he was with Mamoru all the time and if Beryl saw them together she would turn red then walk away. Motoki smiled wondering if she thought that he told Mamoru that they had slept together.
After that week went by and Beryl realized that Motoki didn't tell Mamoru anything, Beryl went and called Mamoru's father one morning believing Motoki was gone for awhile and told the man that she was going to have Mamoru's baby. She then went and told Mamoru who stood there shocked and believing her which Beryl knew he would since Mamoru was just so innocent and she knew that he had never been with anyone before. Mamoru stood there while Beryl hugged him while she told how happy she was. Beryl knew she really wasn't and once she had a ring and Mamoru she would lie and tell everyone that she miscarried.
Mamoru watched Beryl walk away from him then went into his first classroom still in shock. He never saw Beryl get up and leave the classroom after her name was called out. Mamoru's body jumped when the teacher in his second period class went and touched his arm to get his attention some time later. Mamoru looked at the man and nodded his head after he was told that he was wanted in the dean's office.
Mamoru walked in a daze to the office and walked in to find his father in there along with a few of his people and Beryl who was sitting there smiling big. Mamoru sat down and thought that his life was over. He wouldn't look at his father at all as the man sat at the dean's desk.
Before anyone could talk everyone in the room looked when the door was suddenly opened fast and Motoki who had been running stood there trying to catch his breath as he leaned on the door for support. Anyone looking at Beryl would have seen the happy smile on her face disappear. She could have sworn that he had left for the week. What she didn't know was that Motoki had the feeling she would try something so he let it out that he was going to be gone knowing that Beryl heard him. Motoki smiled as he watched the smile disappear and Beryl's eyes closed.
After the whole ordeal was cleared and Beryl finally admitted that she wasn't with child and she left the room fast with her face red Motoki looked at Mamoru and told him that he could thank him now. Mamoru smiled and hugged his best friend who smiled at Hirohito as the older man smiled. Hirohito gave them a few minutes then told the two he had to leave. He looked at Mamoru and told his oldest son that he had better never get another call like that again and he had better never have to show up at the school for another false alarm. Mamoru bowed his head, got on his knees and promised his father he wouldn't. Mamoru told how he wasn't seeing anyone at the school and he wouldn't again. He also promised his father that he would just do his school work and nothing else.
Hirohito smiled again then looked at Motoki and told him to have Mamoru take him to buy him a brand new car any that he wanted and that Mamoru would have to pay with his own money. Motoki smiled big and nodded his head a few times agreeing. Hirohito then hugged Mamoru and whispered to the young man that he was one lucky SOB and how he owed Motoki big. Hirohito let Mamoru go and watched his son nodding his head up and down while he looked at Motoki. Hirohito left out going back home with his people.
After the man was gone Mamoru walked over to Motoki who was still smiling. "Why did you sleep with her? I thought you were in love with Setsuna." Mamoru asked looking at Motoki. Motoki looked down then back up and said, "I do love Setsuna but you are my boy and I wasn't going to let that bitch trap you. You were not happy with her and you aren't going to be happy until someone gets a little older or you realize that she is old enough." Mamoru suddenly blushed and looked away. Motoki went to him and grabbed his arm then put his arm around Mamoru's shoulders and they walked out of the private office together.
They never noticed everyone looking and whispering about them since they were so close together and each was smiling. The two would hear the rumors flying about them a few days later. The rumor that they were lovers spread like wild fire thanks to Beryl who told her friends that Mamoru didn't finishing making love to her. Mamoru let the rumors fly since it made the other girls leave him alone.
Motoki seeing that Mamoru didn't care let them fly also since he was more worried what Setsuna was thinking since he had slept with Beryl. And Motoki knew that the others with Hirohito would talk and since she lived there also Setsuna would hear them. Motoki who had never liked a woman as much as he liked Setsuna worried that she would hate him and not give him a chance later.
Motoki found out on the next week when he received a letter from Setsuna, a nice long five page letter with writing on front and back of the papers. Setsuna wrote that she understood what he did to help protect Mamoru. Setsuna wrote that Mamoru was a man now and could protect himself and that he needed to learn how to alone. She went off on Motoki telling him that he had better never do anything like that again or she would hunt him down and cut him deep. When she wrote the part that she wouldn't let her man be with anyone else Motoki got starry eyed and a silly grin appeared on his face. He looked over at Mamoru and said, "Hee hee….I'm her man." Motoki then giggled a few times while Mamoru only shook his head then started working again on his homework. He left the room when Motoki picked up his phone and called Setsuna. Mamoru wasn't in the mood to hear his best friend act the fool and he also wanted to give him some privacy.
Mamoru walked around the campus yards alone liking that not many people were out at the moment. He spotted Rei and Minako not far from him but also not too close and he smiled. Mamoru was glad they were there but very happy that there hadn't been any reporters around since they didn't know he had been back at that school.
If Mamoru had known that at that very moment his ex girlfriend was on the phone with a reporter who was wanting revenge against Mamoru for dragging her along while Beryl thought he had been gay the whole time they were dating, Mamoru would have gone to her and gentleman or not he would have strangled her.
But Mamoru was gone the next day before the reporters showed up. Mamoru had been sent for to get home fast after getting some horrible news that was about to change his life again forever. A change that was about to make Mamoru mature fast.
While Mamoru walked around the campus yards that beautiful cool night, Hirohito slowly placed the phone down and sat back in his chair better. He couldn't believe what he just found out. After all those years of looking, his missing wife had finally been found. Her body had been one of those three that had been found buried. Hirohito just heard from the doctor who had been doing the autopsies. Hirohito had the feeling that she was among the bodies when he had first learned about them but now sat there shocked learning that he wife had been killed soon after leaving him with Kazuo. Something he didn't know until now.
Hirohito stood up fast debating on going to find Kazuo and asking if the boy remembered anything. He debated on calling Mamoru to tell him. He reached and picked up the phone but seeing the time he hung up thinking Mamoru would be asleep at the moment. Knowing it was getting late Hirohito waited to talk to Kazuo. He started to walk out of his office and stood still when he saw Selene standing in the hallway smiling at him.
Hirohito looked down then walked over to her fast. He suddenly dropped down to his knees and hugged her body around her stomach and hips. Selene placed her hands on his head wondering to herself what was wrong with him.
"Marry me now." Hirohito suddenly said catching Selene off guard. He looked up at her while she looked down at him. "We can now….they found…they found her body….I'm free." Hirohito said fast then stopped and looked away. He looked back at her when Selene moved his head back to face her. "Please Selene….They need a mother… one that understands….I need you here always not just now and then…. Please….." Hirohito whispered as he looked up at her with his eyes pleading.
Selene looked away then back at him smiling. She moved her hands to both sides of his face then asked, "Where's my ring?" Hirohito suddenly gasped out loud and stood up fast then hugged her even faster. Selene was the first to pull back and went forward and kissed him soon finding herself being picked up and carried up to Hirohito's room staying the night only leaving in the morning since she had to be a work. Never knowing that after that day she would never go to work again.
While Hirohito begged Selene to marry him, Usagi got up from the chair and put her book down. She walked out of Mamoru's room and went over to her and Kazuo's room and slowly and quietly walked in going over to get her nightgown on thinking Kazuo was asleep. She looked over at the bed and saw it empty. She walked over to the bathroom but found it empty. Usagi got her nightgown and robe then looked around the room after she felt the cool breeze noticing that the door to the balcony was open just a little. She put her things down then walked over and saw Kazuo walking down the last steps that went to the yards. Wondering where he was going Usagi followed him finally finding him sitting alone under a tree far from the house. She noticed he wasn't wearing a coat and went to him fast.
"Kaz what are you doing out here and with no coat on?" Usagi asked as she looked down at him. Kazuo didn't look at her for the longest time. He only looked up at the clear night sky. Usagi went to her knees and touched his arm and watched Kazuo slowly turn his head toward her.
"Are you okay Kazuo?" Usagi asked in almost a whispered voice. "Yes. I just wanted some fresh air." Kazuo answered as he looked away from her. Usagi just looked at him not liking how he was acting. She had never seen him act this way before. For the last few weeks after Mamoru had left Usagi thought that Kazuo was returning to his old normal self.
"I wanted to be outside for my birthday but I won't be….I wanted to see what it was like to be outside whenever I wanted to be." Kazuo said as he continued to look away from her. "Is that crazy?" Kazuo asked as he suddenly looked at her. Usagi smiled at him and shook her head back and forth. She moved forward and hugged him.
"I was going to be seventeen on my birthday and I wanted to be outside on all my birthdays but we were never allowed to be. I will never be…." Kazuo said softly as he just sat there not moving as his voice trailed away. "You will be outside for your birth….." Usagi started to say but stopped when Kazuo pushed her off of him then he stood up and looked down at her.
"I wish we were still locked up just you, me and BunBun no one else in our lives." Kazuo suddenly said looking down at her. Usagi started to shake her head no as they continued to look at each other. Kazuo turned away from her and looked off into the distance again.
"All those years I wanted out and now we are…but I want to be back there…." He said but stopped when Usagi yelled out no. Kazuo watched Usagi stand up. "No Kazuo we were not safe there we were not eating there. We didn't have the freedom we have now." Usagi said looking at him as she walked to him.
Kazuo looked away from her again. "Kaz lets go inside its getting cold and you hate the cold and so do I." Usagi said taking his arm. Kazuo suddenly turned to her and pushed her back making her fall to the ground.
"You go back inside and leave me alone! Do you really think I like you? I have never liked you. You were always there besides me never giving me any space! The only good thing about being out and free is that I don't have to deal with you every second of the day!" Kazuo said as he glared at Usagi who was sitting there with her eyes going wider.
Usagi slowly stood up and took a step back from him while his hands made fist. "Go on and get away from me! Go on and find someone else to be your friend because at this moment we are not friends! Go away! Get away from me now! I hate you!" Kazuo said loudly while he took a step toward Usagi only to stop and watch her turn around and run away from him thinking he was going crazy.
After she was out of sight Kazuo suddenly scream out as he grabbed his head and fell to his knees as the tears fell from his eyes. "I'm sorry Usa….I'm so so sorry…Please forgive me later…. Please….I don't mean it…..Oh Usa…" Kazuo gasped out as he cried hard and went and laid on the cold ground wrapping his arms around his body.
Kazuo laid there for a long time only getting up after he noticed it was now darker out. He slowly made his way to the house being glad that everyone seemed to be in their own rooms. Kazuo walked back into his room closed the balcony door then noticed that Usagi wasn't in there. He slowly made his way to Mamoru's room and looked in and spotted Usagi asleep on Mamoru's bed laying there still in her dress from earlier.
Kazuo slowly walked into the room and slowly and carefully picked Usagi up and carried her to their room laying her down on the bed. He walked over and got her nightgown then slowly put it on her. Seeing her tear streaked face Kazuo went and got a washcloth and slowly and gently wiped Usagi's face knowing she had cried herself to sleep. Kazuo then got into the bed and held Usagi in his arms tight. Staying up all night wanting to remember how it felt to have her in his arms knowing his time there was just about over.
Usagi woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She had been dreaming again of Mamoru and for a second believed it was Mamoru's arm holding onto her. She moved and looked seeing Kazuo sleeping. Usagi's eyes went wide as she looked around the room knowing she had fallen asleep in Mamoru's room wishing he was there with her. Usagi looked back at Kazuo wondering why they were together in their bed when the night before he had yelled at her and pushed her away from him something he had never done before.
Usagi sighed then moved out of Kazuo's arms not realizing he was awake and watching her wanting to look at her for as long as he could before he lost his eyesight totally. Kazuo watched while Usagi sat more on her side of the bed and smiled to herself as her mind once again drifted to Mamoru. If Usagi would have known that morning would be the last time she would have Kazuo fully awake she would have been thinking of only him.
But Usagi didn't know, none of them knew that the pain Kazuo felt all his life was about to get worse and change all of their life's forever.
To be continued.
