Warmth surrounded the tiny girls form. She never wanted to escape it. Snuggling closer in thick sheets she placed a random pillow over her face so she wouldn't have to bear the rays of light that threatened to make contact with her closed lids. She grunted in annoyance.

"I believe she is waking up."

A familiar voice brought Kousagi back to the wake world as the child jolted from her laying position. Looking around with frightened eyes, Kousagi tried to take in her new surroundings.

"It's OK little one. Your safe."

Kousagi picked up the concern which had been laced with the males words. She squinted from the suns light that had snuck in through the wall length window across from her as she eyed the new man carefully. She remembered the slim blonde that sat next to him from the day before.

"Where am I? How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days."

Usagi's eyes lowered as she seen worry mix in the girls blue orbs. Her companion quickly took a hold of the girl's small hands as he noticed her face start to show of panic.

"It's OK though. You looked like you were exhausted. You are really lucky that Usako had found you. Do you know where your family is?"

It was a question that should have never been asked.

"Family?…Oh no…NO!"

In seconds Usagi found the girl clinging to her torso, shaking with tears. She looked at her partner with more concern than before.

"Mamo-chan. I believe something terrible has happened. She was frantic that day too…She said she needed a soldier. I just don't know which one…"

Mamoru nodded slowly as he took in the seen before him. It was just a few days ago when Usagi came back from her errand at the store and instead of carrying the box of candies her mother had wanted, Usagi stood in the door way with the mysterious child clung to her chest. She had tears in her eyes, saying the tiny girl kept crying in her sleep and wouldn't wake up. She believed there was nothing she could do. So Usagi excused herself from her Princess duties and stayed at his castle for the time that the child had slept. He was so relieved when he had seen her finally open her glossy eyes. It was very odd how it all happened. The girl looked so familiar and yet, he knew he had never seen the child in his life. Usagi had an instant bond to her and he could feel it. For no true cause, the girl had already seemed to have trust in his wife-to-be. He could be nothing but grateful to that.

"It's alright. We have no idea what you must be going through, but we promise that we will do everything in our power to help you. We have every Sailor Scout in this Solar System helping us, so don't you worry. We will find your secret soldier."

Mamoru smiled sweetly at Kousagi while he rubbed her head gently. Kousagi tilted her head his way as she saw him through one of her puffy eyes. Sniffling, she could all but notice the intensity his bright blue eyes held that vaguely reminded her of her own dads. His small smile mirrored the late King's and she wasn't to sure if she was comfortable making that assumption. She dug her face more into the warmth that was the woman in front of her. Usagi slowly made circles on her back, trying in any way to sooth her.

"Kousagi, correct?"

She felt a small nod against her stomach.

"That is a very pretty name. Mamo-Chan is right, you know. If you are looking for a soldier, than you found the right people! We will be sure that you find the person you are looking for. Tomorrow, you meet the Sailor Scouts. How does that sound?"

A few more tears fell before Kousagi found the strength to turn her head upwards in an attempt to look into the young woman's eyes. She could see nothing but sincerity etched into her features. Usagi held a gentle smile that nearly made Kousagi choke on her own words.

"Ha…Hai. I would love that. Thank you so much!"

Again her head became buried in Usagi's soft pink sweater while Usagi looked back towards her fiancé. A silent agreement passed between them before Usagi slowly lifted the girl up and sat her back onto the mesh of red covers. Kousagi looked up in confusion.

"You have slept for a long time Kousagi. Now you need to eat. After all, you can't help anyone without having some form of energy to go off of. Let's go to my favorite room in the whole castle. The kitchen is just a few stories down."

Mamoru could almost smack himself at the strange way the girl had placed a grin already on her reddened face. He looked from Usagi to Kousagi and would have been dumb if he had missed the resemblance.

'Something tells me before the day is out my castle is going to be all out of food. This definitely won't go down well with our budget for the wedding.'

Shaking his head slightly, he rid himself from his thoughts and followed the retreating girls out of the guest room. He watched closely at how the two held their hands tightly and chatted about what kind of food had been prepared and if there would be a large variety of sweets to choose from. His fiancé stared down caringly at the young girl who just a few moments before had been clinging on to her for dear life. It was the very scene that had brought on the next thought that found its way into his disheveled mind.

'Looking from a different person's point- of-view, one could almost believe Usagi was the child's mother. I believe it almost looks natural. Usagi would make a good mom.'

Satisfied with his last thought, Mamoru power-walked to reach the girls sides so he could also join in on their harmless conversation of foods and sweets, already realizing, he had been outnumbered.
