Usagi's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
Japan United; plane on its way to Tokyo, 6:04 p.m.
Oh kami-sama, I can't believe I'm going back after all these
years. Justin takes one look at my pale face and announces, "Geez,
Usa! You agreed, remember?" He grins while sticking his head in from
the seat in front.
"Shut up, Jed. You have nerve, still reminding me of it. You
people tricked me. And stop that. You sound too perky."
"Oh, come on. Where's the loveable happy-go-lucky
Usa-chan we've known all our lives?"
"She disappeared the moment she realised what you people
were doing to her," I reply exasperatedly.
"But really, are you okay?" Ah, that's Nicky. Always freaked
out about me, whether in Nicholas or Nephrite form. Geez, he's
protective. But then, they all are. They can't seem to get the
'Oh-Usa's-the-weak-fragile-princess-we-gotta-protect-her' chain of
thought out of their heads. ~sigh~. But then again, it *will* be
good for me to have some people support me like this. Hehe, when
I told them about why I had run away from Tokyo, Kris' reaction
was priceless:
"NANI? I can't believe I even pledged myself to that coward!"
Of course, they were all freaked out that their sweeties could
do such a thing to the 'precious princess', but they got over it,
as have I. Oops, back to reality.
"Yeah, I'm peachy. Just worried about what they're gonna
think if and when they see me." No need to point out who 'they' are.
I know Nicky and the others can tell. Kami, I'm pretty sure I know
how they're gonna react. Probably gonna look away in disgust for
running away.
"Chill babe, you've forgiven them, and that's all that matters.
They have nothing to forgive *you* for, so as long as you treat them
as old friends with no nasty past, it'll all be alright." Ki-chan's
face is creased with worry. She probably read my thought.
"They'll be surprised, alright!" Armand yells. People from other
aisles look over at us with curiosity while we all, save for Armand,
sweatdrop.
"Lower your voice, Ar-chan. We can hear you just fine.
Maybe you should take your earphones off."
"Oops," Armand blushes as the rest of us sweatdrop yet again. I
note that Zackie, Owen, and Kris haven't said anything yet. I look two
seats ahead to see Zackie sleeping, and Owen and Kris staring at a
flight attendant who's bending down to pick something up. If
possible, I would say that her skirt's even shorter than our fukus!
"Hey Owen! Kris! Care to move your gaze somewhere else less
hentai? What would Minako and Hotaru say?" I grin as they blush
and lookdown. The flight attendant, hearing my comment, turns
around, blushes, and walks quickly away. Owen mumbles something as
Kris looks at the ceiling. Damn, I wish my mind-reading ability was
more developed. What I wouldn't give to find out what they're saying
right now.
Ki-chan sticks her head in from the seat behind. "Owen is
still thinking about the flight attendant in the hentai ways that
only he can think, and Kris' thinking of the flight attendant...and
Minako, since you mentioned her in...well, pretty much the same way
as Owen."
"Arigato, Ki-chan!" I glare at the two commanders. "I wonder
how much Hotaru and Minako would pay for this little bit of
information?"
I think I heard a gomen from one of them. I can't really
tell, cause Zackie just chose this time to give a huge snore. I
muffle a giggle while Kirei and Jed just burst out laughing.
Nicky just looks embarrassed. Armand's too busy listening to
his Discman to pay attention. Kami-sama. These are the people who
pledged themselves to me? Geez, they pledge themselves to me then
they trick me at the same time. How did I get myself caught in this?
I can't believe I'm so baka!

Narrator's P.O.V.
^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*^~
~^*^~ Flashback ~^*^~
Usagi's office, Usagi's apartment, two years after Usagi meets the
Guards and Generals
"Guess what?"
Usagi took off her glasses and put down the design she was
working on. "Yeah, Jed?"
You know, you really *should* call me Justin. We *are*
in the twenty first century, and I'm not necessarily henshined,
so..."
"Yeah, yeah, well people will just think it's a nickname from
some inside joke, so I can call you what I want, so thhpt!" Usagi
stuck out her tongue at Justin.
"As immature as ever, I see."
"Oh shuddup. Now what did you want?"
"I want Rei, but I think you already know that." 'Gotta stall,'
he thought.
"~sigh~. What do you want from *me*?"
"I don't think I'll tell you. Endymion would kill me."
"Not if I get to you first," Usagi growled.
"Okay, okay, I'll back off."
"So? What do you want?"
"I got a job offer."
"That's great! Maybe you'll stop mooching off me now."
"Har har. You offered, remember?"
"I know, only because I'm such a wonderful person."
"Ego trip!"
"I was being sarcastic."
"So was I."
"~sigh~. So, what about your new job?"
"It's big pay and great working conditions. And it's a huge
coincidence cause the rest of the Generals and Guards got jobs
offers too, save for Dan."
"That's great! But why do you sound so down? It's a good
thing, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's fantastic. But you see, the thing is, we gotta move.
This company is like a round-the-world type of company, and it wants
us all to work at this new situation it has."
"Oh, well, I could loan you some money to move."
"But then if we all moved, there'd be no one to protect you,
and I refuse to move without you."
"Nani? First off, there's nothing to protect me *from*, second,
I *am* a goddess and Senshi in my own right. Third, if anything *does*
happen, there's always Ki-chan. Psh, back to my second point, I'm
stronger than all of you put together."
"Yeah, I guess, but I'd still feel safer with someone there to
protect you. And besides, I don't think the Guards are willing to
leave Ki-chan either."
"You mean you'd feel safer if *I* was there to protect you.
Anyway, there's always Dan, right? He didn't get a job, right? He
can stay while you people are tromping round the world. He can
*protect* me."
"Dan's coming with us."
"Well then, what can I do? I *could* come with you, but
then I can't pull Kirei out of school in the middle of her high
school career! And I'm not even going to *think* about leaving
her here alone."
"I doubt she would mind moving. You could ask her yourself
though."
"KI-CHAN!! COME IN HERE FOR A SEC, WILL YA??"
Kirei poked her head into the room. "Yeah, Onee-chan?"
Usagi leaned into her chair. "Did you hear about the job
offers that Jed and people just got?"
"Oh, hai. And the fact that we're gonna have to move,
right?" A quick exchange of winks between Justin and Kirei went
unnoticed by Usagi.
"Yeah, how do you feel about it?"
"I think it's *great*! I've *always* wanted to go there!
And besides, I don't mind moving at *all*!" Kirei mustered
up more enthusiasm capable for a human being.
"Well then, I guess it's settled."
Five months later
"Umm...Usa, can I talk to you?"
"Hai, just help me move this box, will you, Dan?"
"Sure," he replied, while brushing a loose strand of
orange hair away from his face.
"Arigato. Kami-sama, this thing is heavy. Finally, finished
packing. Okay, let's see...you people have the living plans and
plane tickets set up, right?"
"Uh...Hai."
"I don't get why you won't let me know where we're
moving to."
"You've already done so much for us already, it's the
least we could do."
"And what about the fact that you won't let me know
*where* we're moving?"
"Well...uh...yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you
about. Hang on. GENERALS! GUARDS! KIREI!"
A huge rumble was heard when the group assembled
in the room. "Hai? What is it? Did you tell her?"
"That's the thing...I can't tell her it. Someone else do it."
"NANI?!?"
"Umm...I have homework to do!" Kirei yelled before
running out of the room.
"Yeah, and I gotta go check out the penthouse we're
gonna be living in." Owen said before he ran out of the room.
Kris left, yelling after him, "Wait! I'll help you!"
"I..uh..I have to check on the plane tickets," Zachary
said before running out of the room.
"I need to finish packing," and with that, Justin
was out of the room.
"I'll help!" Nicholas ran after him.
"I...uh...I well...damn, they took all the good excuses..
I GOTTA GO PEE!" Brian dashed out of the room, attempting to
make an escape.
Daniel grabbed his shirt. Usagi sweatdropped. "ALRIGHT,
GENERALS! GUARDS! KIREI! GET IN HERE NOW!"
Apologies were heard as each member of the group
regrouped in the room. They all faced the ground, embarrassed
and guilty.
"What do you have to tell me?"
"Stop that glare, Onee-chan."
"I'm not glaring! You haven't FELT the wrath of my glare!"
"Wanna bet?"
*GLARE*
"Umm..yeah, well..."
"Well...you see..."
"Yeah? Spit it out."
"We..."
"Don't have..."
"Jobs..."
"NANI?!"
"We rigged it!"
"And we don't have a penthouse either!"
"And the place we're moving to is Tokyo."
And with that, Usagi fainted.
