OKAY now the last chapter to another story by me - EvaC. I once again thank everyone for the wonderful reviews and to everyone for reading. I'm starting this chapter right after Mamoru runs into the arcade. ENJOY!

Chapter 25

Mamoru ran into the arcade and back to Motoki's private office. He looked up when Usagi ran into Motoki's office. He saw Motoki smile while he closed the locked door. Mamoru pulled Usagi down onto his lap and handed her the envelope that Taro had given to him.

"A letter from Taro, Mamochan?"

"Yes. He wants to be in our lives. He talked to my Mom already I guess."

"I bet she is happy. She always wanted him in her life. In your life."

"I know."

"Are you going to read it?"

"No."

"But…"

"You read it to me." Mamoru said looking at her then down.

Usagi opened the envelope and pulled out the paper and started reading in a soft gentle voice knowing that Mamoru was reading it at the same time.

"To my little brother Mamoru. PLEASE read this before you burn it! I beg of you. I pray you read this. I hope you forgive me. But I understand if you don't. I wouldn't….. What I did was wrong and Motoki is right. I always loved you Mamoru. But I also hated you because you had our mother to yourself." Usagi stopped talking.

"Go on please." Mamoru whispered as he laid his head on her shoulder.

"For a long time I always believed that she didn't love me. I first found out about her when I was nine. My father's wife, the woman I thought was my mother, had yelled at me for something. She was always yelling at me…I asked her why she hated me, I was her son and she was my mother. She hit me and told me that no she wasn't She told me how she never wanted children and never wanted me saying I was just in the way. I ran to my father and asked him and he told me that my real mother didn't love him and she left the day I was born saying she didn't want any kids by him. My father told me that she wanted your father and would only love him and any kids they had…..I believed everything he told me that day."

Usagi stopped talking again and looked to Mamoru when he started reading out loud.

"My grandfather had tried to tell me the truth that day I first meet you and your grandfather in his office but I wouldn't listen or believe him. My love for my father made me believe in only him at that time…I can remember Motoki telling me about you. I acted like I didn't care but I would make him tell me everything about you. I told myself that I didn't love you but I knew deep down that I did."

Mamoru stopped letting Usagi take over.

"That day on the street as you walked home alone and I approached you for the first time, I didn't know what to think. When Motoki first told me that you knew the truth about us, he told me that there was the chance for me to get to know you…I watched you everyday as you and Usagi walked to school. I watched how you chased the boys away from her and I thought it was cute. I watched while Usagi looked at you with love in her eyes every time….I had told my Dad about you two one day and he got mad at me and said that I didn't love him anymore…I told him that yes I did. He told me to prove it to him and I asked how…He told me to hurt you anyway that I could. He told me that Usagi was going to be a whore because she would be a Chiba like our mother."

Usagi stopped this time catching her breath as she read to herself following Mamoru who had started reading again.

"I started to hate you again when he said that my real mother wouldn't even come to see me. He lied and said how he had tried to get her to come over to visit but she wouldn't. I believed him never realizing how many times she really did try only stopping since your father and our grandfathers told her to for her own safety …When you talked to me on that street saying how you wanted to be friends I almost said yes…but then you said that thing about us having the same mother and I snapped…. I hated her and you again…. I decided that I would make my father proud and hurt our mother by hurting you any way that I could….So I hit you and told you to never tell anyone and I was surprised that you didn't tell your parents."

Mamoru paused knowing he had to get his voice back. So many emotions were going on at once with him. He looked to Usagi when she started reading out loud.

"On your sixteenth birthday I watched you all day. I watched you taking Usagi out for that ride and I got upset as I remembered my own sixteenth birthday and how alone I was….I watched you walking away from Usagi and I just about ran to her side wanting her to look at me with the same looks she gives to you. That look of love in her eyes that I finally realize that she only gives to you…..I started to get mad since Usagi didn't give me that same look and when she stood up to go to you I snapped again…..I grabbed her wanting to hurt you Mamoru. I figured that I would be her first then you would hate her. I thought that you would hate her so much then I could have her…Usagi I am sorry. I know that you are reading this with Mamoru. You both always have and always will do everything together…..I'm sorry for everything I did to you. I never meant to hurt you and I hate myself for doing all that I did. After I attacked you and I was sent away I started getting help for my past problems and my anger. I guess that time I grabbed you off the street Usagi and took you to the park….it was the old me trying to get out. That night I couldn't sleep and kept waking up from nightmares since you had that scared look in your eyes. I finally realized at the restaurant that you would never give me that look that you give to Mamoru."

Usagi stopped again moving the letter down. She watched when Mamoru picked it up and turned to the last page and started reading.

"Mamoru, Little brother…. I love you and I love your little one as a sister now. You are the best man for her. I knew that when I first meet her and Usagi you keep loving only him. Mamoru you do the same with Usagi. I'm glad you are both married. I knew that by me telling your parents what I did it would help you both marry sooner like you both wanted…. I pray that in time you both will find it in your hearts to forgive me and let me in. I want my little brother and my new sister in my life and I will do anything you tell me. I will stay away. But I pray we can be close as time passes. Enclosed is my address where I'm staying alone until Motoki moves in. As if you didn't know Motoki and I are lovers again and this time I will not mess it up like I did in the past…. I left my father. I don't want anything to do with him for awhile. Yes I do love him but I have to make him pay for what he made me believe and for what he did to our Mom…. Your big brother, (hopefully) Taro."

Mamoru sighed while he placed the letter back in the envelope. He hugged Usagi after she hugged him back each of them thinking about Taro.

Mamoru moved Usagi and stood up and took her hand leading the way out of Motoki's office.

"I need to see my mom." Mamoru said as they walked to the main room there at the arcade. Usagi nodded her head and gave his hand a squeeze. Usagi held his hand while Mamoru hugged Motoki tight.

She held the envelope while Mamoru drove to his parent's house. Usagi left Mamoru alone with Miko letting the two talk alone. She and Mamoru Sr. walked over to visit with Ikuko and Kenji.

Ikuko made Kenji and Mamoru Sr. pack up Mamoru's car with some thing's that she had bought for Usagi and Mamoru's new place while Usagi sat and entertained her younger brother.

Motoki never did tell the Gang the story about Taro and Mamoru knowing that in time they would know everything.

Usagi finished with school before the others in the group of friends along with Minako who married Kunzite who was working full time with Mamoru and his grandfather after he tested out of school. He didn't go on to college since he showed he already had a head for the business world.

Minako did get disowned by her father at first until the man realized that Kunzite wasn't that bad after all. The man had thought that Kunzite was just a hooligan but Kunzite turned out to be the best man for his little girl.

The other three girls were glad that Usagi was a closer friend but they did get a little upset since Usagi would never go into personal details with any of them. It made them realize that she would only be real close to Mamoru.

For Mamoru was her best friend in the whole world. Mamoru continued to shock their friends by his actions with Usagi. To them it seemed that the old Mamoru had been replaced with a clone. Mamoru was seen being loving and caring to Usagi, never once picking on her unless he was flirting then Usagi knew what was coming and her smile grew.

The only thing that Mamoru didn't change in his actions was his need to protect Usagi and to keep other males away from her. Only the men in the families were ever aloud to be alone with her in Mamoru's eyes and Usagi didn't mind much. She still had it in her head that she didn't need anyone else but Mamoru. He was after all the best one for her.

It took time but Taro was taken into the families. It took a little bit more time for Mamoru Sr. to accept him but he finally did since Miko was happy and all Mamoru Sr. ever wanted was his wife to be happy. The man did get happy after he realized that Taro wasn't like his father any more and would never be again.

Taro shocked the public and business world when he held a news conference with his grandfather and he went off on his father in public. He shocked his father so bad that the man had a stroke after Taro told how he was combining his part of the company with Mamoru Jr.'s.

The man watched while Mamoru Sr. walked into the room with Kenji and they both smiled. Taro's father watched while his own father walked in with Mamoru's grandfather both smiling. He finally fell while Miko walked in with her youngest son and Taro smiled and ran to Miko calling her mother and hugging her while the cameras snapped away.

The man never saw Usagi standing beside Motoki as they watched everything from the back of the room as they both held one of Usagi's little brother's hands.

After the stroke Taro was given full run of his father's company which made Mamoru's grandfather and Taro's grandfather very happy and proud since all they ever wanted was their company that they had started together, put back together as one.

Nine months to the day that Taro gave his father, who was alive and being taken care of by a private nurse, a stroke, Taro sat in a meeting with both grandfathers and some other business people looking at his watch wishing the meeting would end. He placed his phone down again knowing he had someplace important to be at.

"OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THIS TO ME! OH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MAMORU!" Miko's scream could be heard coming from the private delivery room.

Mamoru Jr. and Usagi both glanced into the room where his mother was in labor. They both saw Miko lying in her bed breathing heavy while Ikuko wiped her forehead with a cloth.

Kenji was seen laughing in a corner and pointing his finger at his best friend. While said best friend was over by the bed trying to hold his wife hands.

"LET MY HAND GO YOU JACKASS! THIS IS YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!" Miko screamed out tearing her hands out of her husband's hands.

"How is it my fault? I thought you couldn't have any more after Jr., nineteen years! And you never got pregnant before this." Mamoru Sr. was heard saying as he turned around pouting ever so slightly.

"Hey Mamoru you should have used protection! It's called birth control! You can use a condom or they have The Pill or you could have gone back to pulling out like the old days!" Kenji said between laughing as he still stood in the corner.

"Honey you aren't helping." Ikuko said looking at her husband who only smiled.

"GET AWAY FROM ME MISTER SMOOTH TALKER! OH YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AFTER THAT PARTY, I JUST KNOW IT! IT WAS YOU WHO KEPT GIVING ME THOSE DRINKS! YOU GOT ME DRUNK!" Miko screamed out after Mamoru Sr. tried to hold her hand again.

Miko forgot that she was really the one who had made those mixed drinks for her and Ikuko to drink. Then the two women went looking for their men who didn't turn them away.

"Mamoru, why don't you and Kenji leave for awhile? Miko will calm down soon then you can come back in. I'll make sure you are here for the birth." Ikuko said taking Mamoru Sr.'s hands and leading him to her husband then pointed to the door that was being closed by Mamoru Jr. and Usagi.

Mamoru Sr. glanced at Miko who was once again doing her breathing then he walked out of the door followed by Kenji who was still cheery.

"Even your son uses birth control." Kenji whispered as he walked past Mamoru Sr. who narrowed his eyes at Kenji's back.

"SHUT UP!" Mamoru Sr. said going to look out a window.

Kenji smiled and walked over to where Motoki was sitting at holding his little cousin on his lap keeping the boy entertained.

Usagi walked over to them and sat down while Mamoru walked over to his father and stood by the man until a half hour later and Ikuko opened the door telling Mamoru Sr. to come back in since it was almost time for the baby to be born.

Mamoru Sr. ran to the room and over to his wives side. Miko was now calmer and relaxed thanks to the shot the doctor had given to her. Ikuko left the room to wait with the others.

Twenty minutes later Mamoru Sr. opened the door and told that they had a baby girl. Ikuko and Kenji both walked back to the room followed by Mamoru and Usagi while Motoki still sat holding Usagi's little brother on his lap whispering something to the boy. Usagi and Mamoru walked out soon after both of them smiling.

"She looks like mom! Oh I better call Taro again. I can't believe he isn't here yet." Mamoru said picking up his phone.

"Taro said he was going to be late since he had that meeting with your grandfather and his." Motoki said smiling.

"I know he had told me not to be there so I could be here." Mamoru said as he than turned around and started talking into the phone while holding Usagi's hand with his free hand. The two soon walked away down the hallway.

Soon they were seen walking back now with Taro who was walking beside Mamoru. In Taro's arms was a bunch of flowers and balloons and other gifts. He left Mamoru and Usagi in the hallway and walked into the room where Miko was with her husband, best friends and new daughter.

Taro smiled as he glanced at Mamoru Sr. who smiled back. Taro's smile grew as he looked at the bed seeing his mom holding his little sister. Miko looked at him and smiled back.

"Taro come meet your little sister." Miko said watching Taro place the gifts down then walk over to the bed. He leaned over and kissed his mother on her cheek than sat beside her and looked at his little sister never knowing that Mamoru Sr., Kenji and Ikuko left the room and Mamoru Jr. walked back in and stood on the other side of their mother's bed smiling also.

Miko smiled even more as tears of happiness formed in her eyes while she looked at her two sons and her new daughter. The three stayed there in the room not talking until a nurse came in followed by Mamoru Sr., Kenji and Ikuko to take the baby to the nursery.

Mamoru Jr., left the room first to find Usagi going to her and hugging her in his arms tightly while they both smiled.

Motoki smiled as he watched the two then again as he watched Kenji and Mamoru Sr. walk out of the room again following a nurse who was taking the baby girl over to the nursery. Ikuko stayed behind with Miko and Taro.

The others followed the nurse and watched thru the windows and Motoki who was still holding his little male cousin pointed out the baby to the little boy.

"You know that now that she is here in the world, it's going to be your job to take care of her right?" Motoki asked the little boy who glanced at him.

"It is?" The boy asked looking back at the baby.

"Yes sir. That's why you were born. You are to be there always for her and love only her. Remember I told you she is now your life, your…. little one." Motoki said, saying little one in a whisper so only the boy heard.

The little boy looked at him and Motoki saw the boy's mouth forming a circle. They both looked back at the sleeping baby girl.

"And when you get older you will say some vows with her." Motoki said to the little boy who turned his head and looked at his cousin again.

"Really?!" The little boy asked seeing Motoki smiling.

"Yes and she will say some and you will both be married. I will make sure of it. Some marriage vows that will join you both together forever." Motoki said.

"We will be married forever and loving forever just like Sis and Mamo?" the little boy asked as he glanced at his sister and brother-in-law.

"Yes forever more." Motoki said while he smiled along with his little cousin as they both looked back at the sleeping infant.

They both never noticed Kenji and Mamoru Sr. looking at them.

"Jr. ?….. Motoki? …." Mamoru Sr. tried to talk but couldn't figure out which words to say as he suddenly remembered Motoki telling Mamoru almost word for word the same things after Usagi was born. But at the time he didn't think about it not until now after hearing the words again.

"Ohhhh so now the tides have turned! Let's see how you like having MY son chasing after YOUR little girl! MY son….who is growing to be just - like- me! " Kenji said as his grin grew as he looked at his best friend.

Mamoru Sr. looked at him and shook his head back and forth looking shocked.

"My baby girl, my little princess…." Mamoru Sr. was heard saying in a soft voice.

"Hey don't worry…. My son will take good care of your daughter just like you're son is doing to mine! Oh I better tell the women that we need to talk about the marriage for later! Just like you said…. We need to keep everything in the families!" Kenji sang out.

Mamoru Sr.'s eyes blinked closed and than opened while he heard Kenji start to giggle and walk down the hallway heading back towards Miko's room.

Taro was seen leaving the room and started walking toward his little brother, Usagi and Motoki who all smiled at him while Taro smiled back.

Mamoru Sr. ran after Kenji leaving his son and his wife, who were now looking into each other eyes, alone beside Usagi's little brother who was still looking at the little baby girl and smiling big while Taro walked up to them and Motoki.

Motoki, who had moved a chair for the boy to stand on, walked over to his best friend. They both smiled at each other and looked at the others.

"My little one! My very own little one!" The little boy said to himself.

He had heard Mamoru so many times calling Usagi little one. His little smile grew and his eyes lite up while his eyes drank in the sleeping girls features.

Motoki's grin grew even wider as he remembered hearing the same words spoken by Mamoru after Usagi had been born.

And Motoki knew that he wouldn't have to remind the boy as much, since Usagi's little brother, who was six almost seven, would remember Motoki's words better than Mamoru had since Mamoru had only been almost four when Usagi was born.

Yes Usagi's little brother would remember word for word everything that his dear older cousin Motoki, who was like a brother to him, told him about Mamoru's little sister who would need him later in her life. And just like their siblings they would be together, loving forever more.

The End
