CHAPTER 17

Mamoru and Motoki arrived at their college and went to their room fast with the four guys to pack their things. All of them glad that they were not seen by Beryl. When the dean showed up with their papers Mamoru and Motoki both told the man thanks and took the papers while telling the man they would miss him. The man told them the same thing then made them laugh when he told how he never believed the rumors about them.

Being told about Beryl and being glad to help in any way the dean was the one who went to Beryl's class and got her out of class and to his office where Mamoru waited with the equipment that was hidden that would record his and Beryl's conversation.

Mamoru did worry that his plan wouldn't work but when Motoki told him to relax and just let it happened Mamoru did relax. Even more after Motoki told him that he knew for a fact that Beryl wasn't as smart as she liked to think she was. Motoki also knew that Beryl would do anything she could to get with Mamoru since he had heard her say it enough times.

While Mamoru and the others waited, Beryl watched the dean of the school walk away from her after telling her to wait in his office and he would be right back. Beryl turned to the door wondering what the man wanted and started to open the door but stood very silent and still outside the door that was opened a little and heard Motoki seeming to be almost yelling at Mamoru. From what Beryl could hear it seemed that Motoki was upset that Mamoru was leaving him for Beryl. She didn't know that both guys knew that Beryl was near.

Beryl with her eyes wide and sparkly stood back when Motoki suddenly left the room fast closing the door all the way. Motoki spotted her and stood still. He and Beryl looked at each other then Motoki glared at her and walked away fast while Beryl smiled again and looked at the door.

Mamoru slowly walked over to the door after he heard the doorknob start to turn knowing that it was Beryl who was on the other side. He stopped and took a few deep breaths then slowly turned the door knob and opened the door then stepped back and let Beryl into the room acting like he was surprised to see her.

Beryl looked at him then walked in fast after Mamoru smiled. "Oh Beryl I'm so happy to see you. I need to talk to you and…and I missed you so much. Motoki…He wanted to be my lover but I…I just can't….not when you are there for me. You are there for me right?" Mamoru said then stopped hoping she would fall for his lie. He looked down acting shy while he moved his eyes to her then back to the floor a few times.

"Yes Mamoru you know I'm there for you. I'm so glad you are back and I'm glad to learn that you and Motoki aren't lovers. You know I never believed it but you know how Motoki is always lying to cover himself. I always knew he was jealous of us." Beryl said as she walked in and went over toward the desk.

Mamoru took a deep breath and closed the door just a little making sure it wasn't closed all the way. He saw Haruka who nodded her head and a couple of cops move closer to the door. Mamoru nodded back and stood by the door and only looked at Beryl who smiled at him.

"You don't need that loser I always told you that. You and I can go so far together. And with your father's money we can travel together and see the world." Beryl said looking at Mamoru. "I have my own money. It isn't much but it will do. It will have to do." Mamoru said softly as he walked away from the door and over toward Beryl.

"Oh no Mamoru we need more. I have some that I got for something during the summer…." Beryl stopped talking and looked away fast missing Mamoru smile. "We will be okay but first we need to finish school. Damn what will I do about Motoki? I don't think I can share a room with him." He said softly as he looked at her. Mamoru knew he had to take his time in getting to what she did during the summer.

Beryl looked back at him and smiled. "All that matters right now is that you are here with me. We will worry about that other shit later. I think you should kick Motoki out of your room then I can move in with you." Beryl said. "Yes I can move in and we can be together always. Just don't take off again. Your father now has your brother at home and doesn't need you so much." Beryl said looking at Mamoru who just stood there looking at her as he realized how easy it would be to get her to confess.

"My father will always need me." Mamoru said suddenly getting upset as he thought about Kazuo. "Not as much any more. And you need to stop worrying about him. You need to now stay here with me and let me care for you." Beryl said as she walked over to him. Mamoru walked away from her before she could touch him.

"What did you do during the summer to get the money? You never had a job before. What did you do?" Mamoru suddenly asked as he turned to look at her. He was tired of being in the room with her and wanted it all to end. Beryl looked away from him. "Nothing really. I just helped someone out. It was nothing important." She said softly looking down.

Mamoru walked to her and turned her to him keeping his hands on her arms. "You let reporters on my father's land. You helped them get on to try to get to Kazuo." Mamoru said looking down at her. Beryl kept silent wondering how he had found out.

"You shouldn't have done that." Mamoru said letting her arms go. "Why not your brother is famous and if someone is wanting to pay big bucks to get a picture of him and to hear his story then they should!" Beryl said looking at his back.

"You let them on." Mamoru mumbled to himself as it hit him that everyone had been right about Beryl all along.

"Yes I let them on! So what! And I'll do it again once I find out your brother is home! Your father can't hide him forever! Your brother's story should be told and if they will pay me to help I will!" Beryl just about yelled while looking at Mamoru.

Mamoru slowly shook his head while looking at her. "You didn't see my father's last news conference?" He asked in a sad voice seeing Beryl roll her eyes showing she didn't.

"You know what? You changed after that brother of yours showed up and for the worse. I liked you better before your brother was found. You were all mine then. Now you act like a….you act like a little baby. You know it was cute when we first met and I was sure you would grow up but you are acting like a baby again. I don't know why I try with you. You are lucky you are so cute. If it weren't for the fact that you will get your father's money later I wouldn't be your girl. The only bad thing now is that you have to share the money with your brother now that he was found oh and that pesky little girl that hangs with him. It's too bad he had been found then we would have had more money for us. And that girl I bet you she is just working on your father to get the money also." Beryl said sounding disgusted. She started reaching for Mamoru's hands but Mamoru pulled them back and walked a few feet from her.

"I can't believe you. … Beryl you are not my girl now and you never will be again. I'm glad my eyes are finally open with the truth about you." Mamoru said. Beryl started laughing at him. "Oh so what you are gay again? I heard Motoki yelling at you before I came in and from what I heard he hates you. And after what I told everyone around here no other girl wants you. Just me!" Beryl said. She and Mamoru looked at each other. Mamoru just shook his head no then looked at the door when Motoki walked back in.

"Mamoru is my boy and I don't hate him and I never will Beryl. You are so wrong in that sense." Motoki said. Before Beryl could say anything Mamoru took her arm and turned her to him. Beryl looked at him and stayed silent.

"When you let those reporters on my land you didn't stop them from hurting that guard and he died." Mamoru suddenly said wanting to end everything now. "He didn't die he only passed out. Old man couldn't take it." Beryl said as she looked at Mamoru. He let her arm go and watched Haruka and two cops walk in.

"No Beryl he died and we have it on video. You didn't stop the two from hurting him and you acted like nothing happened while he lay there dieing near your feet." Mamoru said.

"So What! He was old and was going to die one day! I wasn't going to touch him! Gross! All I did was let those others on the property!" Beryl said looking at Mamoru who was now standing beside Motoki and they both looked at her. Seeing Mamoru looking behind her Beryl turned around fast coming face to face with a cop who started telling her she was under arrest.

Mamoru and Motoki stood beside each other as they watched Beryl being put in the back of the cop car. "Mamoru please don't let them take me away. I'm sorry! Please all I wanted to do was help get your brothers story out." Beryl told him as she looked at him.

"My brother's story will never be told. My brother died. And if you had seen my father's last news conference you would have known. But you were never one to pay attention to the news." Mamoru said above a whisper. He looked away missing Beryl look at him fast with her eyes getting wide.

"Oh Mamoru I'm so sor….." She started to say but stopped after Mamoru turned back and glared at her. "Don't act like you care." Mamoru said. "Yes I do I'm your girlfriend." Beryl said. Mamoru walked over to the cop car fast and opened the door even faster. Beryl smiled thinking he was going to help her get out. Beryl yelped when Mamoru pushed her back so she was on her back in the backseat of the car. She lay there looking at him with his eyes blazing.

"You are not my girlfriend! I dumped you awhile back and you will never be in my life again. You scared my brother by letting those reporters on my fathers land. You let your true colors show after you said you only wanted me for my father's money. Don't you ever contact me again and if you ever see me again since I know you won't get life in prison…If you ever see me you turn around and walk the other way. You act like you don't know me because you don't…From this moment on you are dead to me. I will erase everything in my mind about you for I have another waiting for me and I will do what my brother did for her…..I will think of only Usako and protect her from everyone and everything. I will make her the center of my life." Mamoru said. He moved back and walked away from the cop car missing Motoki take his spot and lean into the car while he looked at Beryl.

"Hello Bitch…..I'm so glad Mamoru has Usagi in his life now because it will be so much easier for Mamoru to forget you. And he will. I will make sure of it. Like I told you before he is my boy and I will do all that I can to make sure you are never seen or heard from again. So do like he said forget him because if you don't you will deal with me. But I'm not really to worried about seeing you again. Not with the way you were acting and by the things you were saying. I would place all my money on them locking you up in the looney bin for you are crazy and thank goodness we recorded it. Bitch you are one crazy chick!" Motoki said. He then moved back and closed the door fast so they couldn't hear Beryl screaming and cussing at Motoki while she started to kick her legs on the seat in front of her.

Motoki smiled as the car drove away then he turned toward where Mamoru was standing and looking down. Motoki walked over to him fast thinking something was wrong and placed his arm on Mamoru's shoulder. Mamoru looked at him with no emotions on his face.

"I really love her." Mamoru said and watched Motoki's eyes go wide thinking Mamoru was talking about Beryl. "I really am in love with Usagi." Mamoru then said. Motoki sighed out loud then started laughing after he noticed Mamoru smiling big. Motoki went and pushed Mamoru forward while telling him to get into the limo while Mamoru started laughing. That afternoon Mamoru and the four guys dropped Motoki off at his parents place then they went home.

Mamoru walked over to Usagi who ran toward him after he walked into the house. Mamoru held her in his arms while he watched the others carry his things up to his room. Hirohito and Mamoru made eye contact and the older man smiled at his oldest son while he nodded his head. Mamoru smiled back knowing his father was proud of him. Hirohito walked away going to find Selene so they could finish their talk about their up coming wedding leaving Mamoru and Usagi alone by the front door.

"Usako how about we go for a ride?" Mamoru asked looking down at her knowing he wasn't in the mood at the moment to be in the house. Usagi nodded her head while looking at him. "Go and get a sweater on. Spring is coming but its a little cold out still." Mamoru told her as he walked with her to the stairs. Usagi let Mamoru go then ran up to their room and got a sweater like he asked her to.

Usagi walked out of the room fast then stood still and looked across at the other room that had the door closed. Usagi took a step toward it and started to put her hand on the doorknob then stopped as she remembered that Kazuo wouldn't be in there.

"Usako let's go before it gets dark." Usagi heard Mamoru yell out from the first floor by the staircase. Usagi turned around then ran to the stairs then down to Mamoru who took her hand and took her outside. Usagi noticed he still had his jacket on. Mamoru lead Usagi over to the garage and over to his motorcycle.

He got on then had Usagi get on behind him. Mamoru turned around and helped her put the helmet on then he put his on and started his bike. He felt Usagi holding onto his body tightly while they rode down the road not really going too fast. Mamoru took a left turn then continued down a hidden rode finally showing up at the river at a different area from where they normally went.

Mamoru stopped his bike then got off and helped Usagi off. They took off their helmets then took hands and walked over to the water. "I want to show you something." Mamoru said as they walked along the riverbank. Usagi looked at him then forward after they stopped walking and he pointed.

In front of them on some tree branches that were seen looking ready to bloom with leaves Usagi and Mamoru saw hundreds of thousands of little gray cocoons. Usagi looked at Mamoru who smiled at her.

"Those are butterflies in those cocoons. One day soon after it warms up and after the leaves are fully bloomed the butterflies will come out and then fly around." Mamoru said looking at Usagi then back at the branches. "There's so many." Usagi whispered looking at them again. Mamoru nodded his head in agreement. "Will we get to see it?" Usagi asked looking up at him. Mamoru smiled again and nodded his head yes while he looked down at her. "We will come back and see them." He told her. He then started to walk with her toward the water. They sat down beside each other and just watched the water slowly flow along down the river while the sun started to set.

Two months later on Kazuo's birthday, Mamoru took Usagi back to the same spot and they sat beside each other on a blanket and waited and watched the butterflies as they emerged from their cocoon. Mamoru had to smile when so many of the butterflies went toward Usagi and hung around her for the longest time before flying over to the flowers along the bank of the river. Mamoru and Usagi finally went home in the late afternoon since Usagi had wanted to stay outside all day. They showed up finding out that Hirohito and Selene were going to be home that night from their honeymoon.

Two months after the butterflies Mamoru took Usagi as his date to Motoki and Setsuna's wedding. The best gift that they received that day was from Hirohito who only smiled at Motoki who got a silly look in his eyes and on his face after he read the papers.

Mamoru sat beside Motoki and watched Usagi as she stood near the other women as they talked to Setsuna after the wedding ceremony. Selene was seen keeping Usagi right beside her when she wasn't near Hirohito and Usagi wasn't near Mamoru.

"I still can't believe that Setsuna said yes to you….You of all people!" Mamoru said joking with Motoki. Motoki only smiled being in such a good mood he didn't answer his friend. Mamoru looked at Motoki waiting for him to answer then when Motoki didn't

Mamoru started to open his mouth but shut it when Motoki turned to him and said, "She knows a good thing when she sees it." Mamoru only shook his head then said in a soft voice, "She just doesn't know you like I do." Motoki and Mamoru looked at each other and only smiled. Motoki looked away first looking at Setsuna first then at Usagi. Mamoru looked back at Usagi again.

"Are you going to pop the question? You caught the garter and she caught the flowers." Motoki suddenly asked. Mamoru looked at him fast and shook his head back and forth. "No! Usagi isn't ready and I will not push her to do something she isn't ready for. Anyways we have all the time in the world." Mamoru answered. Motoki smiled at his friend who smiled back. Both of them knew that Mamoru wasn't going to rush anything when it came to Usagi.

"Is Usagi still having the nightmares?" Motoki asked in a soft voice. "Not really. But she still wakes up at night. I have woken up a few times seeing her looking out the bedroom door across to the other room. But when she sees me after I say her name or touch her Usagi smiles then lies back down in my arms. I've thought about closing the door." Mamoru answered.

Motoki and Mamoru made eye contact each just looking at each other. "You might want to…. It will take her time." Motoki said in a soft gentle voice. "I know that and I don't mind. I have what I always wanted and I will not mess it up and loss her. Right now I will just be there letting her know that I'm there for her." Mamoru answered with his voice just as gentle as they both looked at Usagi who was looking at the flowers in her hands.

"You know having Setsuna in your life you sure have matured now." Mamoru suddenly said. "I have always been mature young man, you just never noticed." Motoki said trying to sound all mature and adult like. "Yeah right whatever." Mamoru said looking at Motoki like he was crazy.

"You both were never mature and it will be a few more years until it shows in you both." The two heard Hirohito say from behind them and in between their heads. Both Mamoru and Motoki screamed and stood up fast and looked at him. They had never noticed when the man walked over and stood behind them listening to them. They missed the females and the wedding guest there looking at them like they were crazy. Usagi was seen only smiling.

Mamoru and Motoki both stood there looking at Hirohito as they caught their breath as the older man smiled at them. "Now both of you go and ask the ladies to dance." Hirohito said looking at them. Motoki turned and looked at Setsuna as he blushed and walked over to her and took her hand. Mamoru watched them then looked at Usagi as she walked over to him and his father since Hirohito had waved her to come to him.

"Mamoru ask Usagi to dance." Hirohito said in a soft voice before Usagi joined them. Mamoru looked at him then down. "I don't know how to." Mamoru whispered while his face went red. Hirohito looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Well then take her outside to the gardens and go for a walk." Hirohito said as he then walked away. He smiled at Usagi as he passed her.

"Usako would you like to go outside with me to get some fresh air." Mamoru asked in a hurried voice. Usagi looked down smiling and took his hand and started to walk to the balcony then they walked down some steps to the gardens there at the hotel.

After a few minutes had pasted Usagi stopped walking and looked at Mamoru as he looked at her. "You can't dance can you?" Usagi asked looking at him with a serious look in her eyes. Mamoru turned red and looked away from her as he slowly nodded his head. "Mamochan would you like me to show you?" Usagi whispered. Mamoru looked at her fast seeing her looking down.

"You can slow dance?" Mamoru asked. Usagi looked up at him and smiled while she nodded her head yes. "Here I will show you how. Kazuo showed me one time long time ago." Usagi said as she took Mamoru's hands and placed them on her body. "Watch my feet." Usagi whispered as she looked down along with Mamoru. Usagi started to remember the time when she and Kazuo had been bored so started dancing like the people they saw on TV once.

They slowly danced for a few with Mamoru quickly catching on. He looked at Usagi while he smiled only to lose the smile fast as he noticed she was crying. Mamoru stopped moving then Usagi did while she continued to look down with the tears coming even faster.

Mamoru pulled Usagi into his arms and held her as Usagi finally cried for Kazuo. Mamoru held her for so long letting her cry that they both forgot about the others and the wedding party. They were found by Hirohito and Selene who both stood still and watched while Mamoru gave comfort to Usagi promising her that he would be there for her always while Usagi kept repeating Kazuo's name softly.

Mamoru spotted the two after awhile and he picked Usagi up after she got silent and held her in his arms and started to walk to Hirohito and Selene passing them and telling them that he was taking Usagi home. Hirohito and Selene nodded in understanding then turned and went back inside to tell the others good bye.

That night Usagi had her last and final nightmare making Mamoru glad that she had finally grieved for his brother. Mamoru knew that he and his father had been worried when Usagi was never seen crying at all for Kazuo. She never even showed any emotion at all when someone else mentioned his name.

During the early morning before the sun even came up Mamoru who was already half awake watched while Usagi got out of the bed and walked over to her old bedroom and went in. Mamoru just about fell out of his bed while he got up and ran out of the room going to follow Usagi finding her standing in the middle of the room with a smile on her face. Usagi looked at Mamoru after he walked over to her.

"He is happy now. Very happy." Usagi whispered while she turned and hugged Mamoru. Mamoru pulled her to his body and closed his eyes being thankful while he thought how his father was having someone come in soon to change the whole place around.

Mamoru let Usagi go and walked over to the other bed stand and picked up a picture frame there. He walked back to Usagi and handed it to her. Usagi looked at the picture and smiled then touched her finger first on the side with BunBun then over to Kazuo who was smiling big in the picture. Usagi looked at Mamoru then walked away going to their room and placed the picture frame down beside the lamp on the bed side table.

Mamoru who had followed her smiled then placed a picture frame down beside the one of Kazuo and BunBun. Usagi looked at it and smiled then looked at Mamoru who smiled back. That picture was one of them both with Kazuo standing between them with his arms around them. Mamoru reached and took Usagi's hands. Usagi looked at their joined hands then up into his eyes.

"Please know this Usako….I love you and I will love you for a long time. And even if you don't love me the same even if you never love me like I love you….know that I will always be there for you. I will always protect you just as Kazuo did." Mamoru said as the tears went down his face. Usagi continued to look at him with her own tears starting to form in her eyes.

She moved forward then hugged Mamoru to her and whispered, "Mamochan I love Kazuo and I always will…..But you have your own place in my heart and I know that in time it will grow. But please know that I will always have a special place in my heart for Kazuo and it will never go away."

Mamoru sighed and pulled Usagi to be closer to his body. "I don't want you to replace me with him. I want you to always remember Kazuo and love him the way you are." Mamoru whispered in her ear. Usagi pulled back a little and looked into Mamoru's eyes as he smiled at her. Before Mamoru could say another word Usagi went to her tiptoes then leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Mamoru put his hand on the back of her head and pull her closer to him while he took over the kiss deepening it pouring his soul into it but also keeping it very light and gentle. He could wait to take her to the next step.

Mamoru was the first one to pull back a little and he rested his head on Usagi's and smiled. Usagi with a blush to her cheeks let him go and turned her body half away from him. Mamoru watched her wondering what she was thinking.

"Mamochan you make me feel confused and funny sometimes when I think about you. You make me want….I can't explain it." Usagi said as she threw her arms up in the air and looked away from him. Mamoru smiled and moved to be beside her then said, "I do know what is going on with your body and your mind. And in time I will explain it and show you but not for awhile…..We have plenty of time."

Usagi looked at him then whispered, "You promise?" Mamoru smiled even more then whispered, "Yes and I never break my promises." Usagi smiled at him then her eyes went wide then closed as Mamoru leaned down and kissed her gently on her lips again.

Usagi woke up the next day seeing Mamoru smiling down at her. Usagi sat up and hugged him. "Since Setsuna is on her honeymoon with my crazy friend she asked if I could help you with your studies until she gets back." Mamoru said as he hugged Usagi. "Okay." Usagi said letting him go so they could both get up. They got dressed together then left the room holding hands.

After eating breakfast Mamoru told Usagi to go on to the library telling that he would be there right after he saw his father for something. Usagi nodded her head and walked away from him. Mamoru smiled as he watched her walking. He then smiled big and ran to his father's office so they could talk about what they were going to do for Usagi's birthday which was in a few weeks.

Usagi walked into the library never seeing the man hiding in a corner. The man smiled as he looked at Usagi who walked over to a shelf and started looking for a book to read.

"Usagi?" Usagi heard her name being said coming from her left side. She turned her head fast to see who had said it only to have her eyes start to widen by who she saw. Not in a million years did Usagi ever think she would ever see her father again.

"Usagi?! It is you!…My little girl. I thought that was you when I saw you last night at that hotel…Damn girl look at how fine you are getting! You look like your mother some….. But I liked it better when you were younger." Neikan said the whole time smiling with that evil grin that showed up even in his eyes. Usagi stood there rooted to her spot while her mind shut down and her eyes went wider.

"If I had known you were here sooner I would have come and retrieved you and took you home. Don't you want to come home with your pops?" Neikan asked as he started to take tiny little steps toward his only child while his mind raced a mile a minute about what he wanted to do to her now. "Yes I will take you home with me and you will take her place." Neikan said more to himself as he walked toward Usagi.

"I still think that it would be best if we took her…." Mamoru had been saying but suddenly stopped talking to his father and looked down at the floor. They had been in the study with a few of the others talking about Usagi's birthday and a vacation that they wanted to go on. "Mamoru?" Hirohito said looking up since Mamoru had stopped talking. Mamoru looked up then at the open doorway and took a step toward it.

"Usagi!" Mamoru suddenly said then ran out of the room fast before anyone could even make a move. They all stood up suddenly and ran out also when they heard Usagi start screaming from the library.

Mamoru arrived at the library and saw Neikan with his hand on Usagi's right arm and his left arm up about to slap her. Mamoru didn't even wait a second before he attacked Neikan catching the older man off guard. "Kazuo?" Neikan said thinking that Kazuo was the one attacking him. Neikan got mad and was finally able to get Mamoru down and under him. But before he could stab Mamoru with the pocket knife he had Neikan was shot in the arm by Hirohito.

Hirohito and the four guys along with Selene had followed Mamoru when they heard Usagi screaming. Mamoru got up with help from Zoisite while the others kept their eyes on Neikan whom was sitting and holding his left arm. Mamoru looked over while Usagi suddenly passed out into Selene's arm and she and the women all left the room. Michiru and Haruka walked in soon after then left out after Hirohito told them to call the police.

"Are you okay son?" Hirohito asked Mamoru who had walked to his father. "Yes sir." Mamoru said as he looked back at Neikan. "You aren't that little shit Kazuo because he wouldn't have stopped in his attacks. Where is he at?" Neikan asked looking between Hirohito and Mamoru then around at the others. Mamoru took a step forward but was stopped by his father holding his arm.

"Don't you say anything about my brother!" Mamoru said as he glared at Neikan. "Nephrite take Mamoru out of here now." Hirohito said knowing he needed Mamoru out of the way so his full attention could be on the man on the floor. Nephrite walked to them fast and took Mamoru's left arm and led him out of the room. Nephrite followed Mamoru as he walked up the stairs going to find out about Usagi.

"Yeah he isn't Kazuo for that boy had spunk and this one doesn't….It is too bad your wife didn't take that one and leave him with me. I wouldn't have had any trouble with that one." Neikan said as he looked at Hirohito with those evil eyes. "You knew my wife?" Hirohito asked looking at the other man a little confused.

Neikan started to laugh but then stopped and grabbed his arm again. "Yeah I knew that bitch and her sister. They were cousins to me and my little sister. Those two tried to take my sister from me. Stupid whores….Glad they are out of my way now…..And now that I know where Usagi is I will be back for her and take her with me. She is mine." Neikan then said.

"Usagi isn't going any where with you." Zoisite suddenly said while Jadeite and Kunzite nodded their heads in agreement. "That's right she will never be with you stranger so get it out of your head." Nephrite said as he walked back into the room.

Neikan looked at each of them then started laughing again then looked at Hirohito and said, "You can't stop me. Usagi is my daughter and what court wouldn't let a father have his own daughter. I'm her only family now that her mom is long gone." Neikan said.

"Neikan…." Hirohito suddenly said looking at his wife's second cousin. "OH! So the mighty "Lord" Hirohito finally remembers me." Neikan said looking back at Hirohito who just looked at him while his mind remembered Manami and Natsumi's only male cousin. "Natsumi is Usagi's mother?" Hirohito asked as he thought about Manami's little sister. Neikan started laughing again.

"HELL NO! That whore wasn't Usagi's mom so don't think you will get Usagi thinking you would be her uncle. HELL NO!...My little sister was Usagi's mom but she died right after Usagi was born." Neikan said at first being loud and angry but after he mentioned his sister his voice got softer.

Hirohito suddenly sat down and held his hand up to the guys letting them know he was okay. "I'm fine. You all get out now." He suddenly said looking at the guys. They all left the room not once questioning their boss since they trusted him always. Hirohito looked at Neikan who was surprised that the others left the room so fast.

"Natsumi isn't Usagi's mother?" Hirohito asked looking at Neikan. "I told you no she isn't. She tried to play it off like Usagi was her's but I learned the truth and I made that lying bitch pay later." Neikan said looking at his arm. Hirohito looked out the window seeing the police cars pulling up.

The smile on his face grew as he realized that Mamoru and Usagi weren't related as close as he had first thought. Their mothers were second cousins to each other. Hirohito tried to remember Neikan's little sister but really didn't have any memories of her. He remembered Manami had mentioned her one time before she left the first time saying how her sister needed her help then the second time she left with Kazuo again only saying how her sister needed more help.

"You have taken my daughter, you burned my house down and you made her love and want you!" Neikan suddenly said as he glared at Hirohito. "Who loves me my dead wife or Usagi?" Hirohito asked wondering to himself if Neikan was as crazy as he thought.

"NO my little sister! She saw you once and fell in love with you. All she talked about was you…..but I made her forget you…..I made her want only me!" Neikan said. He looked down then said, "Until I lost her…..she died bleeding to death after having her little girl…..my little Usagi…." Neikan said looking off into space.

Hirohito sat there just watching him as Neikan started laughing. "The great Hirohito Chiba whose wife left him for me. Trying to help her sister yeah right! You are so stupid not knowing the truth…. Ha what a loser you are!" Neikan said as he laughed. Hirohito just watched him. He saw Haruka with some cops out in the foyer all of them listening.

"They found three female bodies in that yard….did you kill all three of them?" Hirohito asked Neikan who looked at him fast. "NO! Only those two nosy bitches. I told you….she….my sweetness died…" Neikan started to say but stopped while his mind remembered the past. "Why did you kill them?" Hirohito asked knowing that Haruka was recording everything.

Neikan kept silent for a few then smiled. "They told her to not tell me about my own baby…They let her die…..Asked me to take her to the hospital but I know they were trying to leave with her and take her…..They let her die….." Neikan said looking off into space. Hirohito stayed silent and just watched the other man.

"You know your nosy bitch wife left you because she thought you cheated on her." Neikan said. Hirohito only looked at him. Neikan smiled again. "You know what I liked the most about your wife "Lord" Hirohito?" Neikan suddenly asked looking at Hirohito who looked right back at him.

Neikan suddenly laughed then said, "I liked the screams that came from her mouth as I fucked her…..And do you know what I liked best about that little shit son of yours…I like the look in his eyes when I locked him up knowing he would never see you again."

Hirohito stayed silent but did look away looking down at the gun in his lap. Neikan started to laugh hard then got silent when Hirohito stood up and walked over to him and put the gun to his head.

He smiled by the surprised look in Neikan's eyes. The two men stared at each other no noise in the room. Hirohito suddenly sighed then put the gun down. "I can't do it. I'm not as evil as you." Hirohito said softly as he started to walk away. He stopped and looked back at Neikan who just sat there on the floor looking up at him.

"No I won't kill you that is the easy way out for you. No…. I will let them take you and lock you back up. Lock you up for the rest of your life knowing that I have your daughter who loves me more then you. Your daughter who will marry my son when they are both ready. I will tell her that you are died and how she never has to worry about you again …. And to top it off I will make sure they put lots of pictures up of Usagi and of Kazuo to where you can't remove them so you will see their faces every day. I will make sure that you aren't even aloud outside at all. It will be like you are on death roll but you will never die until the devil is ready for you to go home! AND I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY KEEP YOU ALIVE FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN!" Hirohito said glaring at Neikan who looked back with his eyes so wide Hirohito had to smile.

"Yes I have the money the power and the resources to do it." Hirohito said smiling even more as he turned his back to Neikan. He watched Neikan from a mirror that was on the wall. Hirohito turned around fast when he saw Neikan pick up the gun and point it at him.

"NO NO NO! I will not go back! I will not be locked up again! NO I CAN'T BE LOCKED UP AGAIN!" Neikan yelled out. Before the others could run back in and before Hirohito could take a step Neikan fired the gun into his own head.

Hirohito ran over and checked Neikan out as the man lay there bleeding. "GET ME SOMETHING! I WANT HIM ALIVE!" Hirohito screamed out at the others who did what he asked.

Fifteen minutes later Hirohito stood back and watched while the paramedics took care of Neikan. "He will live my lord." Michiru said walking over to him. Hirohito smiled even more. "Is he alert?" Hirohito asked walking over to the ambulance. "Just a little." Haruka told him. She and Michiru both watched him walking over to the ambulance. They watched while the paramedics walked a few feet away and everyone around watched while Hirohito leaned over and whispered into Neikan's ear and the man started to jerk his body a little.

Hirohito leaned up and smiled even more as he walked away from the ambulance. The paramedics walked back over and got in then the ambulance took off. "Don't worry Mr. Chiba. We have that room all ready and waiting. That man will never escape again. And he can't anyways no matter how he wished he could he can't." One of the police detectives said as he walked over to Hirohito who only smiled. He thanked the man and the others then started walking back into his house the whole time smiling.

He smiled knowing that the man that had hurt Kazuo and Usagi would now live a long painful life having to lie in his bed since he was now paralyzed from the neck down. And Hirohito knew that his orders were going to be followed and how Neikan would be put on a breathing machine and have a feeding tube in him. Hirohito couldn't wait to pick out the pictures that he wanted copied then hung up all around Neikan.

"Thank you Neikan for making what I want to do easier. Now I will make sure you are locked up forever and there is nothing you can do about it. Just as you locked up my son who is now free from everything. But unlike him you will never be free again. You will be locked up and waste away in a place you hate. I will make sure that you aren't given any pain medicine as you feel your head hurt and wish for something but no relief will ever come. I will make sure you are given enough food to make sure you live. I will also make sure that your little girl never remembers you again! Usagi will always think about me and love me…..The one your little sister loved and wanted as her man. For I do remember your little sister and if she would have been a little older….I would have made her my wife. But that's okay for I have your little girl….. who is mine now."

Hirohito smiled as he remembered what he had just told Neikan. He got very happy when he saw Neikan moving his body around and the scared look in the mans eyes. Hirohito started walking up the stairs going to find Usagi and Mamoru still with the smile on his face.

While Hirohito and Neikan had been in the library with each other, Mamoru walked into his room and saw that they had placed Usagi down on his bed and she was still out. "Everyone get out please." Mamoru told the others as he stood by his door. Everyone looked at him then moved from their spots and left the room. After they were out Mamoru closed his door but left it unlocked knowing that his father would show up later.

Mamoru walked over to his bed and got on it beside Usagi and looked down at her. Mamoru sighed deeply and moved over so he was closer to her. While she slept Mamoru moved her hair from her face and even traced his finger on her face now and then slowly moving a finger over her lips which he was dieing to kiss.

He smiled when he noticed her eyes start to open slowly at first then Usagi suddenly opened her eyes fast. Mamoru could tell that she was scared so he didn't move at all. He sat very still and smiled down at her. Usagi blinked her eyes a few times as she focused on his eyes and his smile.

Mamoru remembering what Kazuo had done to make Usagi forget anything bad suddenly bent forward and gave Usagi a kiss on her lips. Usagi's first thoughts were of Kazuo but that faded fast after she felt Mamoru move his tongue into her mouth something that had never happened before to her. Mamoru slowly moved back and they looked at each other with her blushing and him smiling big after he put his tongue back into his mouth.

"Guess what! We are going to the beach to see the ocean." Mamoru said as he watched Usagi's eyes move and look at his lips. Mamoru hoped that she wouldn't remember what had happened in the library.

Mamoru remembered when he had asked Kazuo what he had done to make Usagi forget and so Mamoru did the same not knowing that Kazuo didn't include his tongue. Usagi looked into Mamoru's eyes then back to his mouth.

"You put your tongue in my mouth!" She said in a soft shocked voice. "Yes I did. I gave you a French kiss." Mamoru told her while his left hand slowly moved on her face tracing it. His eyes widen after Usagi pulled him down on her and kissed him fast then she pushed him back. Mamoru smiled at her and noticed her face start to pout up. "Here let me show you." Mamoru said figuring out that she was getting upset that she didn't kiss him right.

Mamoru bent forward and very slowly placed his lips on hers noticing that she had her eyes open also. Mamoru pulled back just a little after awhile and looked down at Usagi after his own eyes opened. He wondered when he had moved to be between her open thighs. Usagi opened her eyes while her mouth closed and then she smiled up at Mamoru. Mamoru smiled back and liking where his body was went back down to her lips but stopped mid air when they heard the knock on the door.

Mamoru jumped up and sat upon the bed just as the door opened and Hirohito walked in followed by Selene. Mamoru looked down hoping that they wouldn't notice the blush on his face or noticed that both he and Usagi's lips were swollen. If they did notice neither of them said anything about it.

Many months after the incident with Neikan Hirohito and the others were in his office talking and going over their plans for the up coming fall season. They had all just arrived home the day before from the long vacation they had taken not only to get away for awhile but also so the house could be redesigned and to give Usagi some new scenery.

"You know what I think? I think Mamoru was the little lost lamb only being found after Usagi showed up." Minako said looking at Rei, Makoto and Ami. Everyone in the room with the four and their boss looked at Minako then out the big windows seeing Mamoru and Usagi out in the yards.

Mamoru was seen running back and forth trying to get the kite he had up in the air while Usagi stood and clapped her hands watching with a huge smile on her face. Mamoru was failing misery but to the others Usagi didn't care. Rei told the others about the conversation that she and the three had all those months back about thinking of Usagi like she was a lost lamb after one of the guys asked Minkao what she meant.

"Did you ever tell Mamoru about Usagi?" Selene asked looking at Hirohito after Rei finished talking. Hirohito looked at his wife and smiled and shook his head no. "Excuse me but tell Mamoru what about Usagi?" Setsuna asked knowing that she and the others all thought something was wrong with Usagi. Hirohito looked at her and then the others then looked back outside and watched Mamoru who had stopped running and was now swinging Usagi around in his arms.

Hirohito smiled then said, "I had found out that Usagi's mother wasn't Natsumi's child after all. It seems that Natsumi and Manami had a good friend who got pregnant with Usagi but Natsumi played it off as hers since she wanted Usagi's father to be with her. Usagi's mother died soon after she was born."

"That other body in that yard?" Ami asked seeing Hirohito nodded his head in agreement while he looked at her. "They really aren't first cousins?" Motoki asked as the smile on his face grew. "No." Hirohito said as he and Selene looked at each other both thinking it was best not to go into too much details about Usagi's parents. Hirohito turned toward his son's best friend seeing him and the others all smile.

Hirohito thought about how he now had all the papers that had been Neikan's since the police had given him all of Neikan's personal belongings after he had shot himself after they foung them. And in those papers were some for Usagi and even some on her real mother. The thing that really got to Hirohito was the letter that Neikan had written sometime back when he was first in prison. To Hirohito the letter was really a last will that Neikan had written one night confessing everything he had done and giving details of where Usagi and Kazuo had been at.

Hirohito's mind drifted to Neikan knowing that the man was doing just fine in his little private room at the mental institute. With lots of pictures of Usagi and Kazuo on the walls and ceiling but mostly pictures of Kazuo that had been taken after he and Usagi had been freed and before he died since that's what Hirohito wanted. Hirohito blinked his eyes and looked at Selene after he heard her voice.

"Also in time I will be able to operate on Usagi and fix at least one of her ovaries. I don't work as a doctor any more but I will do that one last operation for her." Selene said while she walked over to Hirohito and wrapped her arm around him with Hirohito doing the same to her both of them smiling along with the others.

"We will tell the two later at dinner." Hirohito said as he smiled with Selene. Everyone smiled also then they all looked back out side at the two who were now behind a tree. Their bodies could only be seen part way but not their heads. And Mamoru was at that moment giving Usagi a kiss with many more to come.

"Usagi gave BunBun up and to me that is a sign that she is growing up." Hirohito suddenly told the others. "It's also good for Mamoru to have Usagi's innocent around him. He was never ready for Beryl and how fast she was." Motoki suddenly said making Hirohito agree with him. Everyone smiled thinking about how many years Beryl had received for her help in killing one of their favorite guards. And Motoki had been right, they did put Beryl in a mental institutions.

"Will Mamoru ever go back to school my lord?" Makoto asked Hirohito. He looked at her then back outside at the two running around chasing each other. "No Makoto I really don't think so. Minako is right. Mamoru was a little lost lamb…..Usagi is here now with him and deep down Mamoru was always alone while growing up. He lost his brother and his mother and that hurt him for a long time. Mamoru isn't going to want to lose Usagi. She is his world now." Hirohito said knowing also that Mamoru wasn't going to leave him.

Hirohito stood there remembering the night before when Mamoru went to him and told him that he wasn't going back to school ever saying how he was needed at home. Hirohito had closed his eyes then opened them after Mamoru touched his arm and told him how he didn't want his father to worry about losing his other son.

Hirohito sighed as he watched everyone in the room with him walk over to him and also looked outside at the two seeing them running around the yard chasing each other.

They all lost their smile and their eyes went wide while they watched Usagi stop running after Mamoru and look at the young bald eagle that had suddenly landed right beside her on her right side. Mamoru turned around and stopped running after he noticed that Usagi wasn't behind him. He stood there and watched along with the others.

Usagi smiled as her hands joined. She then suddenly ran to the eagle and to everyone's surprise the eagle didn't fly off like they thought it would. Usagi went down to her knees in front of the eagle and with a large smile gracing her face she reached out and touched the eagle on its shiny white head.

Mamoru, Hirohito and the others all watched with their eyes wide then their mouths dropped open while the eagle moved its head around letting Usagi pet it. They all watched while Usagi looked at Mamoru and held her hand out to him. Mamoru walked over slowly then bent down to his knees and let Usagi put his hand on the eagle's head also.

When Mamoru did that the eagle suddenly spread its wings out then made a noise making Usagi smile and Mamoru smile along with her. They both went to their knees and looked and watched the eagle as it started to walk and hop around them a few times.

Mamoru and Usagi both watched as the eagle stopped and seemed to look behind them making them both look also seeing Hirohito walking out of the house and toward them. They stood up together. The eagle spread its wings again then seemed to watch Hirohito go and stand beside Usagi while Mamoru stood on her other side. The three all watched as the eagle walked and hopped around them in a circle then stopped in front of Hirohito.

Usagi grabbed Hirohito's hand then bent down pulling him with her then made him touch the eagle's head and the eagle did the same thing as it did for her and Mamoru by moving its head around. After a few seconds the eagle stepped back then spread its wings again then suddenly took off into the air. The three under it and the others who had come out of the house all watched while the eagle flew around in a couple of circles.

Usagi suddenly laughed then yelled out, "KAZUO!" She clapped her hands a few times then suddenly took off running down the lawn as she watched the eagle fly right above her head matching her speed and movements. Mamoru looked at his father who had tears then looked back at Usagi as she ran around the yard looking up at the eagle and laughing as the eagle still matched her movements.

"Kazuo told me one time while he sat beside me, that after he died that he was going to come back as an eagle so he could always be free and fly above the ground looking down at the earth." Hirohito said in a whispered voice making Mamoru look at him again.

"An eagle would always be free Kazuo said to me one night as we lay in my bed." Hirohito suddenly said as the tears fell from his eyes. Mamoru blinked his eyes then ran toward Usagi and caught her as she ran to him.

They both stopped and hugged each other as they looked up and watched the eagle as it flew toward Hirohito as it made a loud yelling noise that echoed over the land. It made the noise again then started to fly off toward the south.

Hirohito looked at Usagi after she took his hands. "Don't worry he was telling us that he will be back in the summer when it is warmer. He doesn't like the cold." Usagi said as she smiled at him. Hirohito just blinked his eyes at her.

"He is happy. He is free….Free from everything and doing what he always wanted." Usagi whispered then smiled as her eyes filled with tears of joy. Hirohito pulled Usagi into his arms and held her while he cried. Mamoru walked over to them and put his arms around his father and Usagi and held them both while he smiled with tears of happiness.

Usagi and Mamoru both watched while Selene and the others walked over to them. Everyone looked up at the sky when they heard some birds over head calling out while they flew south for the winter. Thousands of birds were seen following the bald eagle that led the way. Everyone suddenly looked forward to when spring would come around.

And when the first warm spring day arrived Hirohito looked up from his papers on his desk and looked toward the windows. He smiled when he saw Mamoru and Usagi outside under a tree that was starting to bloom. Mamoru sat with his back to the tree while Usagi sat in front of him between his open legs. Hirohito watched while Usagi's lips moved now and then and then Mamoru's lips moved showing the man that Mamoru was helping Usagi out with a word.

Lying near Usagi and Mamoru was General who lay on his side with his head on Mamoru's leg while he napped. Every now and then General would roll to his back and Mamoru would reach over and rub the dogs belly while General's tail would wag.

Hirohito suddenly stood up fast and backed away from his desk when one of the two cats that Usagi adopted after their mother had died jumped up on the desk and started to purr. Hirohito smiled and reached over and started to rub the black cat's fur knowing later he would regret it later.

"Pretty kitty." Hirohito said more to himself while the cat walked back and forth while purring loudly. He smiled when the cat suddenly jumped off the desk then ran out of the room. Hirohito turned and reached for his chair only stopping when he looked outside.

His eyes started to widen and he ran to the window and looked and watched the bald eagle that had landed near General. Hirohito noticed that Mamoru and Usagi hadn't seen the eagle yet. Hirohito ran out of his office then out of his house going to where Mamoru and Usagi who now had seen the eagle were both smiling and watching the young bird while it walked and hopped around. Hirohito stopped running and stood near the two and all three watched while the eagle spotted him and suddenly screamed out loud.

Hirohito looked at Usagi after she took his hand and gently pulled him down to sit. Hirohito sat beside her and Mamoru and watched while the eagle again walked around then went over to General who was still asleep on his back. The eagle stopped by General then suddenly jumped up then down on the dog's stomach and settled down and rested.

To the three watching the eagle seemed to be sleeping. Usagi settled back against Mamoru and started reading again with Mamoru settling down getting comfortable again. Hirohito sat down and just watched the bird sleep while he thought about having some of his people make a nest for the eagle later.

That eagle stayed with them until the first cold day of fall flying off then showing up every year after that each time on the first warm day of spring. The same eagle was there six years later and sat near the wedding party and even flew around in a circle while Mamoru and Usagi said their vows then after Mamoru kissed Usagi the eagle landed in front of the two and screamed a few times.
