Thank you Silver Cometl for reviewing. I agree that Miaka needs a good beating but no matter how the guys are with her, they could never lower themselves to do it. I want everyone to hate her now, but she does have a good reason for all of the trouble she is causing to Usagi and Trowa. Bad thing is that it won't be found out till the 15th chapter.

Thank you Lunar Neko-chan for reviewing. I have a very strange mind. On my computer, I have a lot of twisted and sick stories that I think no one would read. I don't know how I thought about this one, but I hope I can get it done. Most of it is already done, but they are the last part of the story. Can't wait till I get to those parts.

Thank you Christina for reviewing. I like the pairing also. There aren't that many fics about Usagi and Trowa out there and the ones that I did find; they don't get updated any more before the story is complete. You weren't mean at all. I know I'm not that good of a writer in the first place. I don't have anyone to go over my stories before I post them up. I talk the same way that I write so to me, they sounds okay. I always have that problem. I'm working on Microsoft Word so hopefully it will catch the spelling errors. I put the past about Miaka in this chapter but it was all a lie in the first place. In my note to Silver Cometl, I did mention about Miaka and that she has a good reason for the trouble. With Usagi's and the others thoughts, it mentions how they reach to the point of the beginning. I hope that wasn't confusing.

Thank you Jenn for reviewing. I'm glad that you like the story so far. I hope you will continue to like as it go on.

This is chapter 3 of Almost Wasn't There. I re-read this chapter out loud before I post it. I hope it sounds better. I wish I had someone to read besides me before I post them though. If anyone wants to help me out, I would be most grateful. I try hard with my stories and they sound okay to me, but I'm the one who is writing them and can picture everything in my head as I write it down. Well, onto the next chapter. I hope everyone will enjoy it.

Heero, Wufei, Duo, and Quatre help out when it looked like Trowa and Usagi will never get back to get together.

-------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 - Leaving For Awhile --------------------------------------------------

It was only two days since Trowa had come by the house. Usagi was feeling alone and depress, even when Miaka was around. Usagi couldn't remember how she had met the other female, but pushed it out of her mind when she started to get a headache. Miaka had stopped her twice when Usagi figured that she was going to go over to Trowa's house to talk. Miaka always told her that everything was happening to fast and she would regret going over there. Both females were sitting on the couch when Miaka suddenly told Usagi that she should go on a mini vacation away from here.

"You just have too much stress and that is not good in the early stages of the pregnancy. I know a great spot that you would just love. My family has a little cabin up in the mountains that you can go to." Miaka said in a happy voice. Usagi looked over at her.

"I don't know, Miaka. Do you think that is a good idea?" Usagi asked her. Miaka shook her head.

"Yes!" Miaka jumped up from the couch. "You can go up first and then I will come in a couple of days. That way, you can get some alone time by yourself. It is so peaceful up there this time of the year. The mountain air will do you good!" She pulled Usagi off of the couch. "You don't want to stay on the couch, you will get fat, and then you will have a hard time getting it off after the baby comes." Usagi started to smile a little. Miaka did have a point there. If she just do nothing all of the time, then she would get fat and no one would want her. Plus she had seen other people that were pregnant and they blew up. She didn't want to be one of them that had a very hard time getting the weight back off.

"Well, I guess. The mountains does sound good and the air will be good for me." Usagi said slowly as she weighs the options out in her mind.

"Yes!" Miaka yelled. "Come on! You have to get pack and I have to call ahead to get things ready for you. Now you go straight to your room young lady and start to pack!" Miaka was very happy. If she gets Usagi away for a couple of weeks, then Trowa would have to give up and will never know about what Usagi is carrying. She pushed Usagi into her room to pack as she made her way to the phone. Quickly as she could, Miaka dial the airport and then the cabin. There was always someone there and Miaka wanted to make sure that everything was clean and empty before Usagi gets there.

Usagi started to pack a bag and thought about how long she was going to be gone. When she had yelled out before to Miaka about how long she should pack for, Miaka had replied to pack for at least two weeks. Usagi got done packing an hour later. She wanted to make sure that she got everything. It wouldn't be good to leave something behind and then have to go without it or have to buy a new item. Her money wasn't that much and she couldn't afford to buy new things. She was surprise that Trowa was with her in the first place. Usagi wasn't the poorest person, but she was far from rich like Quatre. She was also surprise that the guys had took her in like a part of their family. Where they acting also? Did they really like her, or were they making fun that she was poor. Usagi wanted to cry with the thoughts she was having.

Miaka walked into her room and saw the tears in Usagi's eyes. She had to harden her heart at the sight. There was no way that she was going to go back on her plan now. Usagi will thank her when this is all over. Miaka walked over to her and wrapped her arms around the shorter girls shoulders. Usagi took the comfort that Miaka was giving her. Deep down, she wished it were Trowa there with his arms wrapped tightly around her.

"Come on, Usagi. The car is here to take you to the airport. Everything is ready. I'll be at the cabin in two days. Relax and enjoy the mountain air." Miaka told her as she pushed Usagi out of the door. Once Usagi disappeared into the waiting car, Miaka locked the door and started to walk down the street.

Trowa walked past Miaka on his way to Usagi's house. He just couldn't get her out of his head. Trowa was into his thoughts deep enough that he didn't even realize that Miaka had walked past on the sidewalk.

"Where are you going, Trowa?" Miaka asked him. Trowa blinked out of his thoughts as he turned around. He didn't look very happy to see her. "I hope not to Usagi. You just missed her anyways."

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked her. His voice had a sharp tone to it. Miaka let out a laugh as she watched Trowa's face turning red.

"She's gone, Trowa. You won't be able to talk to her or even find her." Miaka laughed.

"Where did she go?" Trowa took a step closer to her. Miaka was starting to get a bit scared of him. "Tell me! I know you know where she went to." Trowa was beyond mad at Miaka. She took another step away from him.

"I'm not going to tell you." Miaka turned on her heel and ran down the street. Trowa stood there with his fingers curled tightly into fists. How much he wanted to hurt that female. A car went past him and stop. Heero stuck his head out of the window and yelled over at Trowa.

"Need a lift?" Heero asked him. Trowa swung his angry glaze at Heero and shook his head in agreement. He walked over to the car and sat down in the passenger seat. "What happened now? Was that Miaka I saw running down the street?" Trowa nod his head again in agreement.

"That bitch won't tell me where Usagi went to." Trowa calmly stated. He was everything but calm. Heero nod his head as he took off down the road. He drove around the block back to the house. His trip to town would have to wait now. Trowa needed him in the search for Usagi.

"Did she give you anything to go by?" Heero questioned Trowa when they were in his room. He sat down in front of his computer as Trowa stood behind him. Trowa was too mad to sit down.

"No. Miaka just said that I missed her." Trowa told him. Heero started to hack into the airport computers. He was looking to see if Usagi was leaving by plane. Heero looked for Usagi's name and also Miaka's name. When he went through all of the airports and found nothing, he started to search the train stations. Two hours later, Heero leaned back in his chair. He didn't understand it. How could Usagi be gone if she wasn't in any of the transportation computers? Trowa had lost his anger an hour ago and now he was worry about Usagi. Where could she be? Will she be back? Will he ever be able to hold her in his arms again? Trowa let out a sigh as he left Heero's room. For once, Heero felt that he let his friend down. How could Miaka do this to Trowa and Usagi?

Duo saw Trowa walking down the stairs with a very sad face. He couldn't stand seeing his friend in pain like he was. There had to be a way to cheer Trowa up. An idea struck the brown hair guy. Duo looked over at Trowa and decided that was what he was going to do.

"Hey, Trowa!" Duo called out. "You need to get out of the house and have fun." Everyone in the house knew about Usagi by that time. When Quatre had gone to see what Heero and Trowa was doing, they told him about Usagi disappearing and Miaka won't tell them where Usagi went. Wufei wanted to search for Miaka and make her tell them where she was hiding Usagi. Trowa stop in his tracks to look at Duo.

"What do you want?" Trowa asked him.

"Well, you really do need to get out of this house and put Usagi on the back burner for once." Duo told him. Trowa glared down at his so call friend. How could he put the one he loves on the back burner? "Come on, man. Just for tonight, be happy." Trowa kept glaring at Duo. "I'm not going to stop bugging you if you say no." Trowa let out a sigh and knew that what Duo said about bugging him was true. That guy had a bad habit about not keeping his mouth shut.

"Alright, Duo. I'm only agreeing because I don't want you to get on my nerves the whole night." Trowa let another sigh out as Duo jumped up and down in the hallway.

"You won't regret it!" Duo told him. "Be ready in a hour and we will leave. I'll ask the others to come along also. When was the last time all of us went out together?" Trowa shook his head as he watched Duo run down the hallway. Will that guy ever change? Trowa got the feeling that he wouldn't.

Later that night, Duo took Trowa, Heero, Wufei, and Quatre out to a bar. Trowa had three drinks to Duo's six. Even the other guys were drinking. Quatre was the only one that wasn't drinking so he could drive them all home. That was till Duo told him that he deserves a break also and that they could always call home to get pick up. Quatre let out a sigh and ordered a drink for himself. Before the end of the night, Trowa had more drinks than them all. Duo kept slipping him more and more drinks when Trowa wasn't looking. His mind was not focus as he looked around the bar. Duo was off flirting with some female with long black hair. Wufei was in the back room as he tried to throw the darts. He was hitting everything but the board. Quatre was on the dance floor with two blondes. Trowa couldn't help but to laugh when he saw Quatre dancing like he was. Even Heero was laughing in his seat next to him. Heero laughed so hard that he ended up on the floor. Just before he hit the floor, Heero had reached out and grabbed a hold of Trowa's arm. Both guys were laughing on the floor till Duo and Wufei noticed them.

Quatre had to help Wufei and Duo get Heero and Trowa into the waiting car when the bar closed. Every single one of them will wish that they didn't do what they did the night before when they wake up with the worst hangover they ever had. Sure enough, not one of them got up before noon. Even then, they didn't want to get out of bed. Trowa felt worst then ever. He wished Usagi were there with him. Having her in his arms would make everything all right. Later in the day, Heero tried again to see if he could find out where Usagi went. No one saw Miaka for a while either. So both of them were gone now. Trowa wondered if he will ever see her again and if he would be able to talk to her without Miaka being around.

Usagi was at the cabin the very next day. It didn't take that long on the plane and she was glad about that. Everything she did, it reminds her of Trowa. She had to make herself not to cry in front of a plane full of people. There was a car waiting for her at the airport to take her to the cabin. Snow was everywhere. It was a good thing she had brought her boots or her shoes would be soaking wet by the time she got from the car to the door. The driver helped her with the bags and waited around for Usagi to settle in. Usagi thanked the guy a lot for his help before he drove down the mountainside. She was the only one around for miles. Usagi hope nothing will happen to her before Miaka gets there in two days. With a deep intake of the fresh mountain air, Usagi turned to go back inside.

Later that night when everything was asleep, Usagi lay on the bed wide- awake. For some reason, she just couldn't fall asleep. Trowa had been on her mind all day. His deep green eyes staring at her like it was her fault that they weren't together at this time. Trowa's soft lips pulled back into an angry sneer as his harsh words told Usagi that it had been all her fault that he didn't love her any more. Usagi had to shake her head to clear her thoughts. Trowa wasn't like that. He would never blame her for something that she didn't do. She didn't know that her face was wet from the tears. Usagi fell asleep on a wet pillow that night.

The two days went past quickly for Usagi. The mountain air was doing wonders for her. Soon, Miaka would come and then they would stay for another week and a half. What would they do here that they could do at her house? There was no way that Usagi was going to try skiing. Even though it was still the very early stages for the baby, Usagi didn't want to take a chance of killing the small baby. As she thought about the little one that she would bring into the world, another tear slid down her face. The baby would never know who their father was and Usagi felt bad for making the child grow up without a father around.

A week went by and Trowa was going crazy with worry. There had been no word about Usagi and Miaka. They had left five days ago and no one knew where they were. Heero couldn't even find out where Miaka went. She had been good at covering her tracks. Duo told them that they should go find them.

"But Duo, where would we look first? We don't know that much about Miaka. She could be anywhere now with Usagi." Quatre said in a sad voice.

"Trowa, how did you meet Miaka in the first place?" Heero wanted to know. Trowa walked around the room as he thought about it.

"You know what? I don't know. One day, it was just Usagi and I walking down on the beach and Usagi found this strange watch. I didn't see anything wrong with her having it, so Usagi took it home after we found out that no one knew who it belongs to." Trowa stopped in his tracks. "The next day, Usagi started to act funny. For some reason, she was more distant towards me. I didn't understand it that day and I hope that everything would return to normal by the next day. I didn't see Usagi for two days after that and then on the third day, she wouldn't talk to me anymore."

"Maybe that watch was Miaka's and that is how they meet?" Duo wondered out loud.

"What a baka idea, Maxwell!" Wufei snapped at him. "How could they act like they knew each other for years in just three to four days?"

"Good point there." Quatre muttered under his breath. He was thinking very hard about Miaka and Usagi. "How is it possible for Miaka to always know when Trowa tries to talk to Usagi? How is it possible for her to know when one of us tries to see Usagi also?" Things were starting to get stranger by the minute.

"Maybe Miaka is a witch and she is just doing what witches do. Isn't all witches mean? Wait, that can't be it. Miaka isn't ugly and isn't all witches suppose to be ugly?" Duo started to rumble off. Wufei shook his head at his friend. Duo would never change.

"If I can only talk to Usagi, then I know I can get everything straighten out." Trowa said as he slumped down onto the couch. This was too much for him. He didn't know what he'll do if Usagi would never talk to him again. He hopes that won't be the case.

Usagi was staring out the window on the ninth day. She really missed Trowa a lot. Usagi looked through the glass and saw Miaka sitting on the couch with a book in her lap. The other female's eyes were staring into the window at Usagi. With a sigh, Usagi turned around and walk back to the couch.

"Hey Miaka." Usagi started to ask. "I can't remember how I met you or even when? I know that it sounds bad and I feel so bad that I can't remember." Miaka let a small giggle out as she looked at Usagi.

"That's okay, Usagi. I forgive you. It seems like we known each other for years and it is hard to remember things that happen so long ago." Miaka told her. Usagi was thinking to herself that she had a great memory. She could remember what she did in grade school and that was very long ago. There was just a blank when it came to knowing Miaka. "We met one night when both of us was at a school group meeting. I remember that you were sitting next to couple of girls and had this mad look on your face. When the meeting was over, you jumped up from your seat and ran towards the door. I was heading for it myself and you ran right into me. Both of us landed on the ground. Then you jumped up and were telling me that you were so sorry for running into me. After that, we started to hang out with each other and the rest is history." Usagi stared at her. She remembers about the school meeting. Usagi was sitting between two of her friends at that time and was angry because she had to be there. She also remember about running into someone as she tried to get out of the door, but Usagi couldn't remember who that other person was. Deep down, she felt that Miaka was not telling the truth and that Usagi had ran into someone else. Since she started hanging out with Miaka again, she couldn't remember how she had met her or Trowa. It was getting hard for her to stand. Was her memory starting to fade? Will she start to forget everything that she knew from when she was a kid? Usagi hoped not.

Of course, Usagi was right. The reason that she couldn't remember how she met Miaka was because during that school meeting, she had run into Trowa, not Miaka. Some how, Miaka had switched her memories with her and Trowa up. When Usagi looked back out the window from her seat on the couch, she missed the smirk Miaka gave her.

Okay, another chapter out. It was a good thing that I read it out loud because I caught some mistakes. I'm starting on Chapter 4, but it will be out next week. I don't want to rush through it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I even put a little more of Miaka reasoning for what she is doing to Trowa and Usagi in Chapter 4. Till then, have a great time.
