Dear Readers,

Hi! Well, minna, there were some questions asked...such as why doesn't Vegeta
just go get her...well...remember that fun little technique that allowed Usagi to
hide her power level, made them all think she was dead more than once...lol...
well...Chibi-Usagi has the same technique...and it seems that the Senshi are able
to hide their power levels as well...remember? Trunks couldn't feel their power
levels? Well...ja ne!

Love you all!!

PS: On with the fic!!

Chapter 19

~~~~

Chibi-Usagi sighed softly. The Hikawa Shrine was beautiful...so peaceful...so calm...
yet even then, her mind was still a jumble of thoughts.

Why me? Was a repetative question.

Why had she been chosen to be Sailor Moon?

Why was she the Princess of the Saiyans...or an even more complex question...why
was she the Princess of the Moon?

Why was she always being taken from her family...her friends...?

It was like everyone was battling over her. They wanted her power...her love...her...
She gulped nervously at the thought...Body...It seemed that no matter how hard she
tried or how much she wished, there wasn't a peaceful moment. True, she thrived
on battle...but not this. This...this was war. This was a battle that could mean the
destruction of the entire universe.

The Senshi had sworn to let nothing harm her. They had sworn to give up their lives
for her...to protect her. But that's not what she wanted. She was a Saiyan Princess...
a warrior...and there was nothing greater in her mind than to die in a true battle. To
fight an opponent...a truly powerful opponent...and to die against it. But she couldn't
do that here...not against Metalia...not against the Dark Kingdom.

They all seemed hellbent on ensuring she survived. They had said that if she died,
then the universe was doomed...and an even more confusing thing...

If the Silver Crystal disappeared. She was still confused on what the Silver Crystal
was. All she knew, was that it was a part of her body...she remembered the words
Haruka had mumbled under her breath when they had mentioned the Silver Crystal...

"Her pure heart crystal." She had whispered. Chibi-Usagi had no clue what a pure
heart crystal was...but...whatever it was, it must have been important...

And another question...Why was she having the dreams...or nightmares...?

All her questions were left unanswered...and it was so frustrating.

And...then there were her feelings. Those confusing feelings. The mere thought of
either Gohan or 17 left her in tears. Why? She didn't know. True, she missed them
dearly...but not to the point of tears. But whenever it happened, it was like her
flashes. It was like someone else was controlling her body...and she had yet to figure
out who or what it was....

Though she had a sneaking suspision it had something to do with the woman inside her
head...

~~~~

Bulma sighed over her paperwork. The worst thing about being President of CC was
all the work that had to be done...She rubbed her temples slightly. She could feel the
headache coming on...and she was so...*tired*...

Slowly, Bulma felt her eyes droop slightly, and her head slowly fell to her desk. All
she needed right then...was blissful sleep...

~~~~

Jadeite smirked. His plan was working perfectly. So far, the energy collected had
been the largest supply ever. He didn't know why he hadn't thought of it before...

But it was almost time...and the trap was set...now...all he had to do was wait...

~~~~

Mirai Trunks sighed sadly as he stared out the window of his room. The Androids
in his time were now dead....Cell was dead...but...it wasn't the same. Not since Usagi
had died...(AN: You thought I forgot all about my Mirai Trunks? YEAH RIGHT!
sarcasm I could NEVER forget him! I love him too much!! grins...)

It had been almost 4 years since he returned...(Remember? Time Machine? Time
flows differently? well...shrugs...just deal w/ it! lol...winks) And his mother
had died some time ago. He was alone. Completely alone...Maybe...

No. He couldn't? Could he?

Could he go back in time...visit the ones he had learned to care for...could he meet
Usagi again? Her younger counterpart, but Usagi none the less...

He smiled slightly. Yes. He could...

~~~~

The Senshi had decided to take turns training and watching over Chibi-Usagi.
Apparently, they weren't taking their chances on losing her to the Dark Kingdom.

First, the Inners had worked with her. Then the Outers. Then the Starlights.

At the moment, she was with Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten. And it was a lot of fun.
The three had taken her all around town, insisting that they go finish recording
a new song. Of course, she could only stare dreamily as they sang. It was
amazing...Then they had gone out to eat...

She smiled slightly. The Starlights had no clue that Saiyans had large appitites.
She had tried to persuade them not to pay for her food, but it had failed, and
though she had tried to eat lightly, she knew that she wouldn't have as much
strength if she didn't.

So that's where it left her now...three pairs of eyes staring at her like she was
crazy as she ordered her food. The waiter grinning like crazy, hoping that he
gets a large tip from such a large meal...

Seiya stared in shock. How could someone so beautiful eat so much...?

As if answering his unasked question, Chibi-Usagi smiled and said. "I'm half
Saiyan. We need food to keep up our strength to fight." She grinned. "The
cool thing is I can eat as much as I want and don't even have to digest it. I
never have to worry about turning fat either."

The three exchanged looks, before shrugging...to each his (or her) own...

Dinner went by as normal as it could with three singers/Senshi and one
beautiful Saiyan Princess/Senshi eating. But it was fun for them all...at
least...until IT happened.

The three were walking out of the restaurant when suddenly Chibi-Usagi
gasped softly. "No..." She whispered, staring off distantly.

"What is it?" Taiki asked, concerned. Seiya jumped up to help her as she
began to sway.

"Mother..." She whispered, closing her eyes...Suddenly, she reopened them,
and they were silver. Chibi-Usagi would have gasped if she had the ability
to....Not again... She thought as she felt the now familiar power take over
her body and guide her actions. She felt all the energy in her body start to
concentrate on one point.

The next thing she knew was she was at the CC building, and the Starlights
were with her. And that's when she saw him. A face that she found vaguely
familiar...yet not...

She hissed it angrily, even before she saw her mothers prone form lying in
her chair, energy being drained by the youma..."Jadeite."

~~~~

Metalia grinned to herself as she watched Jadeite and his 'guests'. "So this
is the one who possessing Serenity's soul..." She whispered, her voice soft...
and not her own. Her plan was going perfectly...and even the Sailor Senshi
couldn't stop her...none of them...not the Inners...the Outers...or the Starlights.
Not now that she had the power so close...it was almost in her grasp. All she
had to do was reach out and grasp it...

~~~~

Usagi gasped in pain. The presense was so closed...and so closely tied to her
that she couldn't think...couldn't feel...and Cell...he was laughing at her as she
doubled over, clutching her head, silver hair flailing around her.

And she hissed out a name...a name that made her entire body shake with fear.
A name that had been in the recesses of her own mind for so long....and she
hissed it with such an angry hate, that even Cell could see that this was the
enemy Usagi was meant to fight. The hate burning in her silver eyes was more
than the hate that she had shown towards him...

And the hate in her voice was ten fold that......

"Metalia."
