Birthday Gift

Summary: For Mamoru, the apple in his Uncle's eyes, he can do no wrong and is given everything to his heart's content to help him forget the death of his parents. So when Mamoru tells his Uncle that he wants a young girl instead of the expensive Friesian horses for his birthday, who is the man to say no, especially when it will save him thousands of dollars. Next to his only nephew, his other love is money … Until SHE comes into his life, into both of their life's….. Challenging their relationship and their way of thinking forever.

Chapter 1

Mamoru Chiba was annoyed and bored, bored beyond belief. How could his Uncle Daiki make that stop on that day? His Birthday! HIS DAY! The day, in which he reminds his Uncle and those who know him, starting the month before, every year.

It wasn't every day that someone became a teenager Mamoru thought, thinking of how he was finally thirteen. THIRTEEN! A TEEN!

Now the others couldn't pick on him anymore saying that he wasn't a teen and he wouldn't understand their talks. It wasn't his fault he was the youngest, Mamoru thought, thinking of his friends or he should say the people he knew, as he stood being bored.

Mamoru exhaled noisily once again not caring if he was being impolite. He didn't care that Daiki had made the stop to talk to an older couple that owed him money. No, Mamoru cared because the stop had been on the way to where his beautiful black and the other pure white, Friesian colts were at and he had to WAIT. He had to wait for his wonderful, graceful and gorgeous baby horses that he was going to call Onyx and Pearl.

The horses he had fallen in love with the first time he saw the pictures. The pair, a male and a female, he was going to show off to all his comrades who would be jealous and beg their parents for one but they wouldn't be able to afford one and Mamoru would laugh and smile while teasing them since he would be the only one in the area to have that type of horse and two at that!

Mamoru grinned again while thinking of the looks on the others faces when they would finally see his horses. But the smile went away when he glanced to Daiki who was yelling at the other man who stood there yelling back while his wife stood to the side looking down trying to stay out of the argument.

Mamoru who was use to seeing his Uncle going off on people, rolled his eyes while thinking that he was going to complain extra loud and long once they got back into the limo. His Uncle could have waited and came on a different day, not His Day!

Mamoru didn't care that this trip was saving his Uncle money and time since it had been on their way and since the man was off that day from work for Mamoru's day he wouldn't have to go back later and take more time. He was killing two birds with one stone.

Mamoru's eyes started roaming the small but charming house that made him think that his own lavish bedroom was bigger than the building. But unlike his room that home had a cozy, lived and loved feeling to it.

Mamoru glance again to the old woman while moving his Elite eyeglasses, which were specially made just for him, back up after they had slide down on his nose, he then looked to the window he and the woman was standing by when his eyes caught sight of a young girl running past outside.

Mamoru blinked his eyes when he saw two boys run past going in the same direction as the girl. Laughter could be heard faintly.

Seeing that his Uncle was still arguing with the other, Mamoru walked to the front door then stepped out closing the door gently behind him before he walked to the end of the porch and looked the way the other kids had gone to.

His curiosity getting the better of him, Mamoru stepped off the porch and started in the direction around the corner of the house going to the back yard. He glanced to the same window as early when he heard Daiki's voice over powered the other mans making Mamoru think the man was almost done, but Mamoru kept moving forward.

Getting closer to the next corner of the house, Mamoru speed up when he heard one of the boys give a whistle. He stopped at the corner and looked forward seeing the two boys holding the female between them. One boy in front of the girl while the other was behind her holding her arms behind her body trying to stop her from moving which she was, showing Mamoru that she was trying to get away from the two.

"Hold her still Dimando!" The red haired boy said to the blond boy named Dimando who looked from behind the girl and nodded his head.

"Stop moving Usagi and let Rubeus and I see them." Dimando said as he tightened his grip on her enough to make her yelp.

The girl, Usagi went to kick at the boy in front of her while she bit down on Dimandos left hand after it had covered her mouth.

Mamoru smiled while noticing that the girl, Usagi; was doing well at fighting them off but there were two of them against only her and their holds on her went back quick. They seemed to be even older than him Mamoru thought.

"Damn it Usagi you better stop now!" Dimando said getting his hold on her again before she could run off.

"You'll like what we do if you don't fight us." Rubeus said walking back up to stand in front of her again; being glad that she had only kicked his thigh that time.

"If you don't stop I'll hit you….Just relax and let us see your boobs then we'll check what you have under your dress!" He then said as his hands moved forward towards the front of the lilac color blouse that was under Usagi's matching lilac jumper dress.

When the Dimando grabbed Usagi's hair and pulled it making her head move up and back while his other hand covered her mouth again and when he went and kissed Usagi's cheek, Mamoru knew it was time to step forward and put a stop to them. Even more when he noticed the tears in Usagi's eyes and could tell that she didn't have the strength to overpower the two older boys. And from the looks of her rumpled dress and loose hair, she had been fighting them off for awhile, Mamoru thought.

"Let Usagi go. She doesn't want you." Mamoru said stepping from the shadow of the house and for the first time in his life thinking of someone other than himself.

The three all looked at him while the boys both narrowed their eyes and Usagi's widened. She had never seen anyone as good-looking before. Even at her young age she could tell that Mamoru was going to grow up to be a gorgeous man.

His black hair in perfect position except for his bangs which fell over his eyes, making Usagi wish to move them for him.

Just by looking at his wrinkle free clothes, the three could tell that Mamoru had money. He was after all wearing new black Armani slacks with a white silk shirt that had the first three buttons undone at his neck showing a gold chain. And the matching Armani jacket was open with the right side being held open by Mamoru's arm since his right hand was in the slacks pocket. Even his new black Italian shoes shone when the sun light hit the tips.

"Who are you to tell us what to do?" Rubeus asked taking a step towards Mamoru who was slowly walking over towards them.

Mamoru finally took his eyes off Usagi not worrying about the two boys. Even if they were older and taller, Mamoru knew how to fight and could hold his own thanks to his Uncles training. Mamoru also knew he would catch the two off guard since he could tell that they thought he couldn't do anything. Bullies always did think that people that wore glasses couldn't fight.

Mamoru also knew the area they were in was one that depended on his Uncle's business and more than likely those boys had parents or a family member who worked at the factory that Daiki owned.

"He's nothing but a fancy dressed geek." Dimando claimed keeping to himself that he wished his clothes were as nice as Mamoru's. It wasn't fair that some people had more than others, Dimando thought.

"Yeah a dainty fairy little boy who better answer me or he'll be getting those fancy clothes dirty." Rubeus bragged before laughing with his friend.

Mamoru stopped walking when he was a few feet from them and glanced back to Usagi and smiled at her before looking to the two again. Usagi just stood too shocked to say anything while wondering who this strange boy was and where he had come from showing up just in time.

"Let her go and I'll inform you on whom I am."

The two didn't move from their spots which Mamoru took note even noticing when the blond pulled Usagi closer to his body.

Mamoru removed his glasses and started to clean them, dipping his head while making them think he wasn't watching through his bangs that fell forward.

"I know the town I'm stuck in and I guess your parents don't like to work. Since my Uncle is their boss, I can make it happen." Mamoru said as his head went back up and his glasses went back on as he slipped the peacock blue satin handkerchief back in the coat pocket.

Usagi and the boys each took note on how proper Mamoru sounded before they once again looked to his clothes before Rubeus ran to Mamoru hoping to knock him down but Mamoru stepped to the side while at the same time a leg and arm went up knocking the boy to the ground on his back with him looking stunned as he looked at the sky.

Dimando pushed Usagi making her fall to the ground as he took off trying to attack Mamoru but soon found that he was lying beside his friend only on his stomach.

"Leave now and don't come back or I'll tell my Uncle who is in that house. I'm sure your families will love that you are the reason they don't work for Chiba Inc anymore." Mamoru said ever so softly but with a serious tone.

The two looked at Mamoru before they got up and took off running.

"We'll get her tomorrow. That fancy dressed freak won't be here." One was heard saying as the other agreed as they rounded the corner of the house.

Mamoru watched them thinking about how his Uncle was correct. Having money was fun when it came to scaring people.

He turned around and walked over and held his hand out for Usagi who took it and let him pull her to stand since her body hurt from that toss and from the running she had done earlier.

"Thank you." She whispered looking away from his blue eyes which reminded her of pictures of the deep waters of Earth from space. She wondered if she was blushing before frowning hoping she wasn't making a fool of herself.

Mamoru smiled as he removed his glasses slipping it into a pocket and for a second time really looked at Usagi liking what he was seeing. He liked her long honey blonde hair that was in a single ponytail down her back, which seemed to go to her knees, making him wonder what it would look like down framing her face. And her crystal blue eyes which reminded him of a perfect summer day sky made his body feel funny.

"You're welcome Usagi." Mamoru finally said liking how her name rolled off his tongue.

"What's your name?" Usagi asked looking back up at him noticing that her height came to the middle of his chest right at his breast. And what a wide chest he had she thought thinking his chest was wider than those other boys.

Mamoru looked down with his smile growing loving the sound of her voice.

"I'm Mamoru Chiba."

"Oh." Usagi mumbled before looking away. She had heard his last name before. Everyone in that area knew the Chiba name and Usagi knew about the Chiba's more than anyone thanks to her mother.

Usagi all of a sudden started to walk away only to stop when she heard Mamoru following her and he grabbed her left hand stopping her.

"Wait." Mamoru whispered while he held her hand.

Usagi looked at their hands then back to his face trying to think of something to say.

Mamoru just stood there bluntly checking her out.

"Well, um…Thank you again for helping me with them. It was nice that they didn't get to far this time." Usagi told glancing to him once again thinking of how that last time those two boys had almost gotten under her shirt. She was glad Dimandos brother hadn't been with them that day.

"I wish you could stay and get them again tomorrow." Usagi mumbled more to herself as her eyes fell on the grass under them.

"They bother you much?" Mamoru asked with his eyes starting to narrow as he looked in the direction those boys had run off towards.

"Every day that they can, I can't even go outside alone much anymore." Usagi mumbled glancing at him again catching his eyes that time.

Her eyes flew open when he pulled her to him and hugged her. Usagi stood with her arms hanging. Mamoru let her body go but keep her hands in his.

"Hey today is my thirteenth birthday." Mamoru said noticing Usagi as she turned to face him as she looked to the hand that was holding hers.

"Happy birthday." Usagi mumbled.

"Give me a gift."

Usagi looked back into his eyes surprised as she wondered what she could give him.

"What do you want me to give you for your birthday?" She whispered.

Mamoru looked away thinking then looked back into her eyes and said, "Give me a kiss."

Surprising them both by his request.

"I…I've never kissed anyone."

"Really? How old are you?" Mamoru asked moving his eyes to her chest before going back to her eyes.

"Twelve." She answered while thinking about how she had just turned it two months ago.

Mamoru put his hands on her shoulders and smiled again.

"Okay. I guess I'll show you how." Mamoru said as he moved his hands to cup her face and tilted her head up before leaning over and kissing her fully on the lips knowing that he really didn't know what to do since that was his first also.

For someone who had never kissed a girl before Usagi wouldn't have believed it if she had known.

Mamoru meant to keep it fast but something over came him and made him stay where he was holding her head moving it just a bit as the kiss deepened.

He pulled Usagi closer and held her when he thought and felt her weaken.

When Mamoru pulled her closer, Usagi went up on her tiptoes and slowly lowered her arms which had shoot straight out on her sides when the kiss had started. She placed her hands on his arms.

Time seemed to stop for them only starting again when they pulled back each not knowing who made the first step back. They looked at each other with Mamoru's hands still on her face and Usagi's hands resting on his forearms.

Mamoru smiled as he watched Usagi's face turning three shades of red before she took off running back to the house.

The smile went away as Mamoru noticed that he had liked Usagi being close. He didn't want to let her go he thought as his eyes fell on his hands remembering how soft her skin on her face had felt and how silky her hair had been on his finger tips making him want to feel all her hair at once, running it through his fingers over and over.

His eyes blinked as a thought started to form in his brain as his feet took him towards the house. Going in the same door that Usagi had, Mamoru walked through the kitchen and into the living room spotting Usagi right away as she stood beside the older woman who hadn't moved.

Mamoru stopped placed his glasses back on then stood beside the open doorway and just let his eyes roam up and down Usagi. His maleness which was finally starting to notice the opposite sex, liked how her body was forming and he couldn't wait to see how she would look as a woman.

His mind raced a mile a minute as his ears picked up his Uncle talking.

"Old man you better have my money by next Wednesday when I send my men or else." Daiki was heard saying.

Mamoru missed the man smile as the older man only nodded his head and looked down, the look of defeat clearly on his face. Daiki looked around and spotted Mamoru.

"Mamoru…..Oh there are you. Come on I'm ready to go and get your gift. I'll be back old man." Daiki said as he started to walk towards Mamoru.

"Uncle I changed my mind. I don't want the colts anymore." Mamoru said looking to the man and seeing his sudden stop.

"What are you talking about? I thought you wanted those horses, all I heard for the past half year is that you wanted them." Daiki said.

Mamoru could tell by his Uncles voice that the man was surprise.

"I changed my mind." Mamoru answered as he looked away.

"Well, tell me what you want in the car and we'll go get it." Daiki said turning around.

"What I want is here Uncle." Mamoru stated.

"Here!?" Daiki said looking around the small house sounding a little disgusted.

Mamoru made eye contact with Usagi after she finally looked to him. She had been standing there and just like her grandparents they could tell that Mamoru had surprised his uncle.

"Yes Uncle…I want Usagi." Mamoru said just looking towards her seeing the girls eyes widen.

"What the hell is Usagi?" Daiki asked wondering if the boy had seen some rabbits outside.

Mamoru continued to watch Usagi while listening to his Uncle mutter.

"Mamoru, you and personal pets don't do good…" Daiki started to say remembering the parakeet bird Mamoru had last month, that didn't last a week. He started to remember some of the other pets Mamoru had wanted and tried to care for, none lasting longer than a few days to a week since Mamoru lost interest in them. He was only allowing the colts since he had someone who would care for them at the main house.

Daiki looked towards Mamoru after taking his eyes off the older couple since they both had gasped after they noticed that the young boy was checking out their granddaughter.

Mamoru looked to his Uncle and smiled even more.

"I don't want a real rabbit…Her…. That is Usagi and I want HER for my birthday." Mamoru said while pointing and moving his eyes back to Usagi knowing his Uncle's eyes would follow.
