Distractions

"Usagi, we're home we came back early to take care of you darling!" Ikuko yelled. Upstairs in her bathroom Usagi jumped. The pregnancy test flew into the air, skidded across the edge of the tub, and into the waste paper basket just as Usagi ran out of her bathroom and hopped under the covers looking more sick than she had in her life just as Ikuko walked in.

"Awe, my poor bunny, I hate to see you sick," Ikuko soothed.

"Yes, but look what Papa brought you," Kenji said coming in. He held out the cutest bunny on the planet." I got it on Iwo Jima, they sell them there for tourists with kids, I thought I couldn't go home without getting my bunny, a bunny."

"Thanks Father." Usagi accepted it and hugged it close as her mother rubbed her head.

"I saw Mrs. Nagano was over." The mere mention of food and especially Mrs.Nagano's food made Usagi want to puke. After a moment of them asking her what was wrong she ran into the bathroom and shut the door. They could hear her throwing up the rest of her lunch.

"Oh no," Usagi whispered as she looked for the pregnancy test. When she didn't find it she almost started freaking out. She tore the box up and ran it under the water so long that it was mush before she dumped it into the trash, unknowingly covering up the pregnancy test. After a few more minutes she wet her face and exited the bathroom.

" Can I get you anything?" Ikuko asked.

"Anything to stop the nausea." Her father sat down with her head in his lap.

"You're lucky your mother has so many remedies for these type things."

"I know, but how did you guys get back so fast, I just talked to you not to long ago this morning."

"We were on the plane when you called, besides it's not that long a flight from Iwo Jima."

"Of course."

"Is something bothering you, you seem distracted."

"No, no I'm just thinking how good it is for you to be home, is all." Usagi was worried about Darien showing up now that her parents were home, they would not let her out of the house so she could help him with Hitomi. She'd have to sneak out at night or something. She didn't know yet, the stress she was feeling was giving her a headache. Perhaps she was worried for nothing about her other little problem, maybe she really did just have the stomach flu.

"Usagi dear, Mamoru is here with Hitomi, he said you'd been giving him advice all night yesterday and thought they'd stop by for a visit and since Hitomi has the flu too, he thought you two could enjoy each other's company."

"Ok, I don't mind," Usagi replied. Mamoru entered with Hitomi and he practically dumped her in Usagi's arms. Hitomi had obviously given him hell since he'd left that morning. He'd been even more agitated when he saw her parents had returned early.

"Awe poor thing," Usagi soothed Hitomi as she wiped her wet face with the end of her blanket. Kenji left out and Ikuko went for more tea.

"Are you alright?" Mamoru asked.

"I'm fine, its not like you care," Usagi spat with some anger. Mamoru was bit taken aback, but remained silent with his head down, he deserved her anger.

"So many distractions," Usagi muttered as she gave Mamoru all the baby stuff and he stashed in his makeshift, temporary diaper bag for Hitomi.

"Your room is nice," Mamoru complimented as he looked at the bunny theme of the room.

"Thanks," Usagi responded without emotion.

"Usagi, I'm trying to be civil and the least you could do is be civil too."

"As far as I'm concerned Mamo-chan I am being civil!" Usagi exclaimed in a whisper so as not to startled Hitomi who was well on her way to a blissful sleep.

"Why are you so agrivating and mean to me!" Mamoru responded in anger, because he knew she was right. Usagi just stared silently at him as if she didn't know what to think of him. He immediately regretted his words to her and knew that he would now pay with a tongue lashing.

"If you have a lot of pent up anger you should always find calm and peaceful ways to release it, like yoga or going for a walk even a jog, Sailor Moon says! "If your ever so angry that you wanna hurt some one UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THEM BEFORE YOU'VE CALMED DOWN!"
