Chapter 5


~*Chapter five*~


~*Motoki's Point of View*~


I sat in the driver's seat of my blue camero, pondering Usa's strange actions. 
She's been through so much, and I am worried that she might be into something that 
she can't come out of so easily. Every day, I could tell she was coming closer and 
closer to the dark side, but I didn't have the heart to ask her about it. Seconds 
later, a loud, high-pitched beeping interrupted my thoughts. "Shit! Not now!" I 
picked up the communicator quickly and answered. "Motoki, here."


I saw Rei-chan on the screen, she looked worried. "Motoki-chan! You have to get 
down here, and QUICK! There's a battle going on at the park!"


"No, Rei-chan, I didn't notice... I mean, where else is there that many trees?" I 
stated, trying to lighten the mood.


"Motoki, I am NOT in the mood for your sarcasm! Now get you're sorry ass over here 
this instant!" She clicked off.


I wondered for a moment, what had her in such a bad mood, then put the car in gear 
and sped off towards the park.


~*Usagi's House*~


"My, my head.... What's going on?" Usagi moaned softly as a bright light overtook 
her mind. When she opened her eyes she saw a man in dark blue armor standing in 
front of her.


"Serenity? Is.... Is it really you?" He asked softly. She tried to reply, 'I don't 
know who that is' but something stopped her. She couldn't speak, she couldn't move. 
Suddenly, the man's figure warped into that of another. A taller man with dark hair 
and dark blue eyes, he held a black crystal to her neck. "Die Serenity!" Just as 
the crystal was about to penetrate her skin, the figure changed again. A woman with 
long silver hair, done up in odangoes, slowly stroked her cheek. 'Serenity, my 
daughter... Have you recovered your memories yet? Have you learned anything of your 
past, and your future?" A silent tear slipped down the woman's face. Then she 
dissappeared.


"I'm not Serenity!" Usagi shouted as she awoke with a start, bumping her forehead 
into something hard. The hard thing had a voice. "Yes, I know that.. You're Tsukino 
Usagi, Odango Atama, Blondie, Bunny, Usa-chan... You have many names, Odango... But 
to my knowledge, Serenity isn't one of them."


"Mamoru... What happened? Why are you here? Has my couch always been this 
comfortable?" He laughed at her last comment. "I found you, unconscious, outside my 
house. You had a syringe in your purse, and a bottle of Vodka in your hand. What 
are you doing to yourself Odango?"


"It's none of your concern!" She snapped back. "Who are you to tell me what I can, 
and can't do? What are you saying? Why are you looking at me like that?" Her cries 
slowly started to quiet down as her stomach did backflips. "Mamoru... Why are 
you--" She got up and quickly ran to the bathroom. Mamoru stood behind her, pulling 
her hair back out of her face and rubbing her shoulders. "You're gonna be okay... 
Shh.. Calm down, Usa.. Relax... You're gonna be fine." She slapped her hand over 
her mouth as she coughed again. "That stuff's gonna hurt your hand.." She brought 
her hand away from her mouth slowly. He continued to rub her back as he spoke. "Do 
you want to throw up?" She shook her head negative. "Do you think that you can 
stand up?" She paused for a moment before nodding her head and standing up. She 
only stood there, not saying anything... only staring at him.


"Come on, Odango... Lets get you back to the couch." With that, he scooped her up 
and carried her out towards the living room. Too tired to protest, Usagi only 
slumped against his figure and sighed, as a silent tear slipped down her face. 'It 
hurts... My heart hurts... I-I don't know what to do... I feel like I'm fighting a 
battle with myself, and I'm losing. It feels as if someone is trying to get 
out....'


Mamory gently set her down on the couch and stroked her silken hair. He watched her 
silently as she wiped away her tears and looked up at him. "Mamoru...? What's 
happening to me? I can't take this any more.. I feel like someone's trying to get 
out of me... As if I'm being ripped apart..." She winced slightly and regained her 
composure.


"Usa.. I don't know what to tell you... But this has to stop. You can't continue 
hurting yourself like this... It's not right, Odango." He tested the much-hated 
nickname out to see if she was back to her normal self. Noticing her glaring at 
him, he realized that she was. "Hey Usagi, what do you say we go out for some 
ice-cream? I know I great little place by the park.."


Her eyes lit up as she heard the words 'ice cream'. "Yes! Arigato Mamoru-baka! 
Arigato!" She fiercly hugged him and arose from the couch, running up the stairs.


"Hey! Where are you going?" He questioned as he sprinted after her.


"To change! Do you really think that I'm gonna go out for ice cream in my 
nightgown?" She replied back, giggling.


"No, I suppose not.." he mumbled as they stopped. Flopping down on her window seat 
he waited. She only stood there and watched him. Sensing her staring at him, Mamoru 
looked up. "Aren't you supposed to be changing?"


"Not while you're here, I'm not." She almost laughed at him.


"I won't look." He looked out the window after he spoke.


Usagi opened her mouth to argue, but seeing that he wouldn't be swayed, she only 
turned around and went to look through her closet. "Fine." Rumaging through the 
drawers and drawers of her closet, she laughed to herself. 'I own over three times 
as many pairs of clothes as the average teenage girl, and I still can't figure out 
what to wear. Hehe.' She smiled to herself and continued looking.


Ten minutes later, Mamoru was resting his head against the wall. His eyes shot open 
and he quickly looked up as he heard Usagi's shout of triumph. "Aha!" Rolling his 
eyes, he saw that she was still wearing what she had been ten minutes ago.


"What are you 'aha'-ing about? You're still in the same outfit." He questioned, a 
hint of sarcasm in his voice.


"I'm 'aha'-ing, because I found something to wear. Genius." She muttered the last 
part under her breath. "Now don't look." She said as she stripped herself of her 
clothes and pulled on the black baggy pants, and silver tube top. She slipped on 
her favorite pair of black and hot pink combat boots and admired herself in the 
mirror. "Well Mamoru, what do you think?"


His eyes trailed over her slim frame. Taking it all in, he replied with a slight 
gulp. "The shirt shows your stomach, your pants are too low, the black, and silver 
don't go with the black and pink, and where on earth did you get those pink panther 
boxers? I want some." His last sentece lead her to realize that he was joking. She 
laughed and walked over to him, taking his arm.


"Come on, Mamoru. Lets get this show on the road." His face showed confusion at her 
statement as she led him to their parking garage.


"Odango, weren't we taking my car?" He only saw her shake her head as she walked 
over to a black Suzuki Bandit 1200S. "Or we can take that..." His mind went fuzzy 
as he pictured driving the bike with Usagi holding onto him.


Realizing what he was thinking, she laughed and spoke. "Quit your day-dreaming, 
Mamoru. I drive, or you walk. You choose." She giggled slightly as she saw the look 
on his face. Total and complete dissapointment. As an after though, she added. "If 
you're good.. I just might let you drive on the way back. Maybe." She laughed her 
angelic laugh once again and hopped on the bike.


Mamoru quickly made his decision and got on behind her. She slipped on a black 
helmit with a pink panther on it, and the words 'Bite Me' written in white on the 
back. Before he slipped his helmet on, he grinned and spoke. "If you insist." With 
that, he pulled her hair away from her neck and bit down softly. Usagi's eyes went 
wide as she felt his mouth on her neck. Just the feel of his lips against her skin 
set her on fire. Her body completely froze and he gently caressed her neck. 
Finally, her senses snapping back into place, she turned around and back-handed him 
right in the jaw.


"Mamoru! Don't do that!" She screeched.


"But your helmet said to do it." He replied with mock sheepishness.


"Mamoru, if my helmet told you to sky dive without a parachute off the golden gate 
bridge... WOULD YOU DO IT!?" She shouted angrilly at him.


He only laughed, slipped his helmet on, and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her 
expression softened as she started up the engine and drove off to the left. Saying 
a commanding word under her breath, she watched as a panel slid off a portion of 
the wall. When it finished opening she drove through the passage way to avoid any 
extra traffic.


Mamory watched in interest as they sped by many original paintings and graffiti on 
the walls of the passage way. He had only been through here once, when Motoki was 
first building it three and a half years ago. No one knew about this passage way 
except Him, Mokoti, and Usagi. Usagi's mother knew about the passage way as well, 
but her knowledge died along with her. Many of the paintings along the walls were 
hers or Usagi's. Motoki wasn't much of a painter, but he loved to do graffiti and 
poetry. The passage way was a combination of all their artistic skills. The purpose 
of the passage way was still unknown to Mamoru. Only Usagi and Motoki knew that; 
though one day he planned to ask Motoki about it.


As they continued to speed downthe passage way, Usagi called back to him. 
"Beautiful isn't it? That painting is my mothers!" His eyes focused on the portion 
of the wall that she was pointing at, as the bike slowed down. It was, by far, the 
most beautiful mural he had ever seen. It displayed a woman with silver hair, in a 
long flowing white gown, standing atop a pearl balcony reaching her hand skywards. 
Floating mere inches above her outstreched hand, was a beautiful crystal, that 
seemed to hold all of the colors of the rainbow in one. A heavenly light surrounded 
her, causing her to glow with radience. His eyes then fell on a small figure 
sitting on the corner rail of the balcony. A little girl with long flowing golden 
hair, with her knees pulled up at her chest, and a pair of wings wrapped gently 
around her. The little girl watched the woman with nothing but love and admiration 
showing in her eyes. Mamoru's eyes sparkled as he took the whole picture in, 
committing it to memory. Usagi revved her engine and sped off yet again.


After about fifteen minutes they came to a large titanium wall. Usagi spoke 
something quietly under her breath and the wall rose, leading onto a highway ramp, 
right by the park. She drove out onto the highway and within seconds they were at 
the park. She parked her bike and got off, turned around and smiled at him. "Enjoy 
your ride?"


He smiled gently at her and took her hand. "Very much." She blushed and pulled her 
hand away. Linking arms with him, she spoke. "So where is this ice cream place?" 
She smiled and they strode off.
