Usagi Tsukino stormed down the street muttering angrily under her breath. Her long beautiful blonde hair, for once not braided, whipped in the air every time she turned the corner. The girl was returning from one of her weekly meetings with the Senshi in the Hikawa shrine but instead of the customary bright smile her face wore the expression of utter disbelief. To Usagi's shock the Sailor Senshi decided that Sailor Moon was no longer fitting for the role of the leader and furthermore was getting in the way of other Scouts during battles. That opinion was only reinforced the moment she refused to fight with Uranus and Neptune when they challenged her after the latest (and hopefully the last) battle against the Pharaoh 90. But Usagi simply couldn't bring herself to harm her newest Scouts in any way. That apparently was the proof of her inability to fight altogether. The girl felt the beginnings of tears and angrily rubbed her eyes as she was already approaching her house. The Senshi, after humiliating her, took away her transformation broach. Thankfully, they weren't able to get the Silver Crystal as it was her and only her legacy as the Moon Princess. Though she would have gladly given it to them if only they let her remain with the group. But no, no matter how much pleading and crying, the Sailor Senshi had officially kicked her out of the team, nominating Rei for the leader position. Even Mamoru, her sweet loving Mamo-chan, had turned away without a second glance, preferring the raven haired miko over her. Usagi sniffed, she didn't know how to deal with this situation, she just didn't know. And it certainly hasn't helped that as soon as she left the shrine she saw Chibiusa, the child she was supposed to have with Endymion, slowly vanish into the air right before her eyes.

Stopping before her house's door Usagi sighed and calmed slightly. It wouldn't do well to let her parents see her in that state. They will only be needlessly worried and she didn't want that. They were already noticing more than she would have liked. Sighing again she braced herself and stepped inside. Cautiously peering around she attempted to silently reach her room but was interrupted by her mother's voice.

"Usagi? Dear, is that you?"

Her shoulders slumped but nevertheless the girl tried to answer in her best "happy" voice.

"Yeah, Mum!"

"Come here, please. Your father and I want to talk to you about something important."

Usagi put on a smile and went to the source of the voice – the kitchen. Upon enetering she immediately noticed the serious looks on her parents faces and let her smile slide aside, worrying her lower lip instead.

"Mum? Dad? What's wrong?" She trailed off hesistantly.

"Nothing, dear," her mother smiled slightly. "It's just... well..."

She glanced at her husband unsurely.

"We have noticed that for some time you have been struggling with your schoolwork and from what we have seen it's not from the lack of studying but rather because you've been very very tired recently. Am I right?"

"Y-Yes, Dad." Usagi was startled. She didn't want her parents to know but she, due to the recent activity of yomas, before Pharaoh 90's defeat, although studying hard, simply didn't have the energy to last through her school classes. And therefore her grades dropped even lower, barely keeping her from expulsion.

"We have thought about it, Usagi," her mother started talking again. "And decided that, though we don't know what it is, something..."

"Or someone." Added her father.

"... has been distracting you greatly. Do you perhaps want to talk about it?"

"Err..." Usagi wasn't even sure her family would believe her if she told them about her being Sailor Moon let aside all the other things. Though, she mused, it wasn't really important now, with her loss of that title. "Not really."

Ikuko studied her face for a few tense seconds before sighing and nodding to Kenji. The man reached behind him and took a thick letter before placing it on the table. From what Usagi could see (and understand) it was written in English and adressed to her father. The signature at the bottom revealed the writer to be somebody by the name of Integra van Hellsing.

"This is the letter from my niece," said Kenji. "Several weeks ago I've written to her asking if she would mind a guest. She agreed to house you for as long as you would need."

"You mean..." Shocked, Usagi stared wide-eyed.

"Yes, dear. You will be leaving in a week as soon as the school ends. And until you will feel good enough to return. Don't worry about the school, it's all been settled already."

"But... but..."

"Usagi, don't argue. It has already been decided." Said her father firmly.

"But what about my... friends..." The girl trailed. "I suppose there is no point arguing then. I'm going to my room."

Several moments later only Kenji and Ikuko remained in the kitchen.

"Kenji? Do you think we did the right thing?" The Tsukino matriarch hesistantly asked.

"Yes. Usagi needs to get away from whatever is bothering her, even if she won't admit it. Integra is the best option, even despite her... line of work."

"Well, let's hope it will turn alright in the end."

"Don't worry, dear. I'm sure it will."
