Chapter 12: Scorned

Usagi walked into her dorm room, her conformation with Mamoru had drained her substantially. Ami wisely didn't mention the incident and for that Usagi was glad.

"Usa, I'm going to class. Will you be ok?" Ami asked looking at the smaller girl with concern. She had seen Mamoru walk out the doctor's office seemingly nonchalantly but Ami knew the man all to well. She could tell he was angry about something, he didn't even notice her as she sat there silently scrutinizing him.

"Yeah, Ames, I'll be fine". She said smiling for the girl's benefit.

"I think I'm going to take a little nap, then get up as study for that Art History exam".

"Alright then, I'll see you later".

Ami gave her one last look and headed out the door to her Biochemistry class, for which she was already late.

Usagi sighed walking to the bathroom intent on taking a quick shower. Perhaps if she had stayed in that room a little longer she would have noticed an uninvited guest slip into the unlocked door. No one on campus locked their dorm doors during the day unless they were out. But perhaps if she had seen this person, she would have been able to better defend herself. The running water obstructed her hearing and she began to take off her clothes. She stopped momentarily feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stand up, she sensed someone was standing behind her. She sensed this too late though, for before she could even blink the person was upon her, forcing a cloth over her nose. She forced her elbows back trying to connect with the person's stomach, or anything, to get them to release their deadly hold. Usagi assessed that the person was at least a head taller then she, and in her already weakened condition, this person also had the advantage. But Usagi would not give up without a fight. She kicked her foot back connecting with the person's kneecap. She felt them loosen their grip momentarily but only momentarily. She had been holding her breath the entire time, afraid to breath in whatever drug was on that towel, something she knew was meant to knock her out. The need for oxygen was overwhelming though, but she kicked back a second time, again connecting to her capture's flesh. Her lungs burned from the effort, her capture loosed his/her hold again but Usagi could no longer hold her breath, or she would pass out. She would pass out either way, by holding her breath or by breathing in the drug. A paradox it seemed. Usagi inhaled deeply, her need for air overcoming her need to struggle. She fell to the floor quickly. Her capture just let her fall. No emotion playing across her face. And Emily smiled, a deadly smile, a smile of a woman scorned.

~An Hour Ago~

Mamoru walked into his office grumpy from his fight with Usagi. He been able to think of nothing but her since their encounter the night of the party, and for the umpteenth time since then he cursed her name, almost angered that she had that kind of power over him. He gently touched his lips, lips that had touch those of his tenshi earlier. He leaned back into the large leather chair behind his ebony colored desk. Of all his offices at his many businesses, this one was his favorite. The Silver Rose had started as a little hobby of his, something to irritate his brother. He knew Mal hadn't liked the idea of a strip joint at first. Jed, on the other hand, jumped at the chance; he too growing bored with his more respectable business endeavors. Mal finally relented though joining them, all three of them turning a once hobby into one of the most popular places in Japan.

Mal headed toward his brother's office having seen him come in earlier. He had just come from a date with his Minako and noticed his little brother practically storming into the building. He got off the elevator and was somewhat surprised to see Emily headed to Mamoru's office as well. He thought Mamoru had broken all ties with his former 'lovers'.

"Hi, Em, haven't seen you much lately". He said smirking. He never really liked the woman. She was way to vindictive for his taste.

"I've been busy". Emily said with a wave of her hand obviously brushing him off.

"I was headed to see Mamoru but I think I will visit with him later since you are going there as well". She said stopping, not wanting to be in Mal's company in the least and knowing the feeling was definitely mutual.

"Suit yourself". Mal said walking past her. Emily waited until he disappeared into Mamoru's office then she slinked up to the door where she could ease drop. She figured Mal might know something about whatever bimbo Mamoru called himself seeing this time.

'I will be your only, Mamoru. I refuse to share you any longer'.

She thought as she leaned against the mahogany door.

"What's wrong, little bro"? Mal asked sitting down in front of Mamoru's desk. He noticed that his brother seemed more upset than angry. Anyone else would have probably argued against that, for Mamoru seemed to be the epitome of control. Mal knew his brother too well. He could easily pinpoint the mannerisms of his brother's apparent despondence, how he continually ran his hand through his raven locks, how he drummed his fingers against his desk.

"Nothing, Mal. Nothing's wrong. Usagi hates me. She lied to me. And she's pregnant with what I know is my child." Mamoru said calmly, almost too calmly.

"No, Mal. Nothing is wrong… except for everything. Everything is wrong". Mamoru hung his head emotion entering his voice as he muttered his last sentence. He would not succumb to tears though, especially not in front of someone. Mamoru looked back up at his brother, his normally sapphire blue eyes shone even darker than usual.

Mal looked somewhat shocked. 'Usagi is pregnant? With Mamoru's child?' He thought.

"Slow down, Mamoru. You mean to tell me you went to see Usagi. I know you told me that she stays on campus with Ami, but I didn't think you'd actually drop in on her like that." Mal said. Well his brother had always been direct. 'I would have tried to woo the girl for a while myself' Mal thought smirking. 'But hey different strokes for different folks'.

"No I ran into her at the clinic where Toki works". Mamoru answered.

Emily seethed with anger.

"That bitch." She whispered having heard enough of their conversation. She knew what she needed to know. She knew that silver haired wench was pregnant with her Mamoru's baby. She also knew where the tramp stayed, having taken Mamoru's address book when she ransacked his apartment. She thought after she left that little message in Mamoru's apartment that he would get the point. That he would know that she would never let him be happy with anyone else but herself. But that was ok. She had Ami's address and with that Usagi's so the little stunt she had played on Mamoru had not been in vain after all. She walked quickly from the door of his office not wanting to be caught there. An idea began to form in her warped, wicked little mind.

'You will be mine, Mamoru'. She thought. 'Mine and Mine alone'.

I hope you guys like this chapter. Please review. And don't worry I will finish the story.
