~* Usagi's Unconsciousness *~
Usagi was floating again, only she felt like she was in her aura, only it wasn't hers, it was a deep crimson. Usagi closed her eyes at the wonderful feeling the energy gave her as it washed over her. Usagi immediately snapped them open again when she heard the sound of someone's voice, a voice she recognized. "Usagi-chan." Usagi swirled around and was face to face with Setsuna, he deep green hair that was usually in a tight bun, or a small bun with the rest of it lose around her, was now completely undone and flowing around her aura colored body. Usagi was surprised to see this, whenever she had been in her own energy, she had not been glowing or the color of her aura. Usagi looked down and noticed, she was glowing a bright silver, and her hair which she had failed to notice before, was now flowing around her, her aura glowing bright. "What's going on?" Usagi asked in a monotone. "I brought you into my energy so that we were able to be connected. It took awhile but it is necessary that you have your memories, Chaos is too close now." Usagi let a small dark smile tug at her lips. "A mission?" She asked. "Hai, but you will not be needing your gundum, you will need your full power." Usagi looked at her questionably. "Don't worry you will remember soon." She said her garnet eyes shinning brightly. "I'm now going to let my aura mingle with yours to break the memory block that has sealed your past memories." Usagi closed her eyes as she felt tingle of Setsuna's energy flood through her body. Usagi could feel the slight tightening sensation as the energy invaded her mind, she made sure not to fight it.
Usagi about screamed as she felt the tightening sensation become a acute pain. She had felt this type of pain only when she had got the scar on her back, but when that had happened she was able to ignore it, but because of the concentration she was putting into the present situation it was impossible to ignore it. "Don't worry Usagi, the pain will leave momentarily, it's almost over." Setsuna soothed. As soon as Setsuna said this, the pain was gone. Usagi opened one blue eye and looked at Setsuna angrily. "How could you not tell me that you were a Senshi?" She asked. Setsuna seemed unfazed but replied, "I was unable to tell you then." Usagi's eyes were still cold and lifeless which caused Setsuna to look sadly at her, even with the memories she couldn't believe that they stayed that way. "Are we done?" She asked. Setsuna nodded and closed her eyes. Usagi felt herself jerk back into her body.
~* end unconsciousness *~
Usagi stood up and was glad to see that no one was in the room this time. She quickly checked her appearance to make sure her hair was still in its tight braid, and she felt slightly disgusted that she was wearing a pink sun dress, and she ran almost running into Hiiro and Trowa along the way, to Michiru and Haruka's dorm room.
Usagi opened and shut the door as soon as she entered and found the outer senshi, minus Pluto, sitting watching television. "What's wrong Koneko?" Haruka asked. "I just got ALL of it back." She answered in a monotone. "All of what?" Michiru urged. "My memories, why the hell did they have to come back?" She screamed falling to the ground clutching her head. "Usa-chan!" Michiru was at her side, as was Hotaru and Haruka. "I wanted it to go away, I wanted it to go away so bad in that life!" She screamed.
The outer senshi hugged their princess and were glad to see that she was no where near crying, just very upset that her memories had come back. "What is it you didn't want back?" Usagi let go of her head. "I didn't want them, the inners, Mamoru-san the only part I wanted was the feeling I got when I fought, when you became allies with me" Haruka's eyes widened. "But you hated fighting." Usagi shook her head. "I faked it Haruka, I faked it all I was hoping I could get rid of them by messing up we were so different when we were reborn. We didn't connect anymore, me and the inners just weren't the same, and Mamoru I didn't truly love him, nor him me. What we felt was more like a brother and sister feeling. The inners were true friends to me, but we never really got along. So I lied, I tried to make them think I was a ditz, a crybaby and a klutz. I hoped if I acted like that, that maybe they would think me unworthy. It didn't do a thing. But then when I saw you, fighting trying to make it on your own without us, I wanted to be like you. I wanted to be free, and I wanted to fight for all I was worth, because that was the only time all the pain went away." Usagi took a deep breath. "What about the silver millennium? Didn't you love Endymion?" Hotaru asked. Usagi nodded. "I did, for a time, until I realized all it was, was infatuation. I was in love with someone else, but mother needed the alliance, so I went along with the infatuation hoping it would grow into something deeper, and in doing so I hurt the one I truly cared about." She said in a monotone. "The only one I told of my feelings were my sister." She said. "Your sister?" Hotaru inquired. "Hai, Michiru-chan." She said turning to the aquamarine haired girl. Michiru smiled. "Hair imouto-chan." Usagi smiled a empty smile because she felt it the right time for a smile, even if it wasn't heart felt. "Oh, so you don't care for your own cousin either?" Haruka said acting offended. "Hn." She replied, meaning 'of course I care for you!' Usagi finally stood up and smoothed out her dress and hair. "Hotaru-chan, why don't we go to bed early, I need some sleep before working tomorrow." Hotaru nodded. "Oyasuminasai, one-chan, itoko." Usagi said in a monotone before leaving with Hotaru.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi awoke at five and went on a five mile run, she wasn't training with the gundum pilots that day considering she knew everything again and didn't need training. She was surprised when she saw Seiya up ahead, she too was jogging. Usagi sped up to catch up and then came in sync with her strides. "Ohayo Seiya-chan." She said in her normal monotone. "Ohayo odango." She said back. "I wanted to apologize for never seeing it." Usagi said suddenly. Seiya looked at her questionably as they ran. "Apologize for not seeing what?" She asked. "For not seeing that you liked the old Usagi in her past life." Seiya about tripped when she heard that. "You remember that?" She asked. Usagi nodded. "It's alright, it wouldn't have worked anyway with my loyalties to our princess." Usagi nodded again. The two continued to run, without talking until they reached the dorms again. Usagi waited for Seiya to catch her breath, while she stood their barely breaking a sweat and not at all feeling winded. After a few moments the two went to their separate dorms and took showers before meeting up again and going to an early coffee with Taiki. Yaten would have gone but she was at the studio putting the finishing touches on their new album.
"She's been the most excited about it." Taiki said, talking about Yaten and their upcoming album. "Our single's the only thing the radio's are playing now. It's funny we didn't expect a female rock band to be that popular." Seiya said taking a sip from her coffee. "I heard it a few days ago when Hotaru turned on the radio." Usagi said in a monotone. "It wasn't too bad, I wouldn't mind getting the CD." She admitted. "I'll give you an advance copy, you'll get it before it reaches the stores." She said with a smile. Usagi gave her and empty smile. "Cool." Seiya raised an eyebrow at the new word she decided to use. "What?" Usagi asked in her monotone.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi walked out of the dorms, class was over and she was once again in black pants and a black shirt, not to mention her black combat boots. Usagi had, had a boring day, minus the morning when she had hung out with Seiya and Taiki. Usagi walked by a pet store and went in, she felt like pissing off the dorms by getting something they would hate. Usagi walked by some dogs and looked them over, they would be ok, but they'd most likely chew her clothes to pieces so that was a no. Usagi was about to leave when she noticed a kitten in the window. It was staring at her with the most intelligent look on its face it could muster and she knew right away whom it was. Usagi ran over to the store clerk. "I'd like the black cat there." She said pointing at the kitten. "I'm sorry it's been pre-sold. He said. Usagi growled and left the store but not before whispering to the cat that she'd be back for it.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi banged on the door of Hiiro's dorm and was glad when he answered it with a "Hn." Usagi gave him an empty evil smile. "Feel like helping me break into a store tonight?"
~*~*~*~*
Usagi put on her black cat suit she'd bought and quickly put on a black beanie, to hide her hair a little (very little) and she made sure she had black gloves and her combat boots. She immediately left the dorm afterward. The time was midnight when she reached her destination. She knew this was overboard for the stealing of a cat but she wanted to have some fun. Usagi noticed the figure creep up behind her and new instantly who it was. "Hurry up." She said to him. He complied and the two took out their guns.
Hiiro shot the lock of the store and the two walked into the store, Usagi and Hiiro both took out the camera's and Usagi went over to the glass slider to the window, that the cats were kept in. The little black cat immediately perked it's head up when she shot the lock on it too. Usagi grabbed the black cat and it began to purr the instant she touched it. Hiiro rolled his eyes. "When you said fun, I thought you meant blowing up an OZ base, at least that's more important." Usagi glared at him. "This is important." She hissed. Going over to the counter and busting open the cash register. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I'm going to bust it open but leave the money somewhere else, so they think I tried to steal the money but I couldn't find it." She answered. Usagi tried to pick the lock and was having a lot of trouble until Hiiro shot it for her. She quickly looked inside and realized she didn't need to hide any money because whomever closed up had taken the money to the bank, so there was none. Usagi began to leave when the cat hissed, as if to call attention to something. Usagi looked back at the cats and saw another kitten, this one white as snow. "Hiiro, grab the white one." She said jerking her head at the cats. Hiiro looked ready to burst, he obviously didn't want to comply but she pointed her gun at him. "Grab it." She hissed. Hiiro did as told and gabbed the cat, who noticed Usagi and didn't make a fuss. The two perfect soldiers then left the store and went back to the dorms.
Usagi took the white kitten when they reached Hiiro's dorm room. "That was slightly fun now wasn't it?" Usagi said taking the kitten from Hiiro's arms. Hiiro nodded, and with a grunt of goodbye he was gone. Usagi took the two kittens and went into her dorm room. She plopped them on her bed and changed, after that she fell asleep with the two kittens falling asleep instantly once their new master was asleep.
