Chapter 5- Tears of Joy
By Miko of da Shinigami
WuFei watched Usagi sleep while Hotaru rested in Duo's arms and Heero challenged Rei in a very competitive game of rock paper scissors.
WuFei just sat.
And watched.
Finally Usagi opened her large blue eyes and whispered something under her breath.
"Hello Usagi," WuFei said.
"Hiya Wu-chan!" Usagi said cheerfully as she struggled to sit up, causing WuFei to blush and Duo to giggle.
"You stay lying down Usagi-chan," Rei said without even turning from her game.
Heero grunted his hello while thinking about his next move. So many choices…hmmm…rock?…no scissors…or paper…nah…rock?
"Hello Usagi-chan," Hotaru said. "How are you feeling this morning?"
"Like crap," Usagi muttered, draping her delicate hand dramatically over her forehead, but wincing when it touched.
"Wow! It's improved so much!" Duo said sarcastically, earning himself a whack from Hotaru and a glare from WuFei.
"Did they have you're jacket WuFei?" Usagi asked, cause everyone to look at him (except 4 Rei & Heero) and all thinking along the lines of 'What jacket?'
"No," WuFei said quietly. "It was someone else's. Go back to sleep, you must be tired."
"I'm fine," Usagi said. "I just can't sit up. Or eat. Or more my left foot's pinky toe. I actually don't even know it it's still there. Will you check for me WuFei?"
"It's there," WuFei said, checking for her. "Now sleep."
"Okay!" and Usagi slept. Duo brought Hotaru back to her house and Heero took Rei out for ice cream. (Rei won…)
But WuFei sat with her, long after visiting hours were over and long after the moon had risen high into the sky.

WuFei woke with a start at the sound of Usagi's bell like voice.
"WuFei," she said. "What are you doing here?"
WuFei suppressed his blush. "I must have fallen asleep."
Usagi grinned. "I honored that you spent the night by my side. It's very hard to find a guy that would do that for you!"
WuFei failed to suppress his blush that time.
"Of course," said Usagi, sighing. "I'm not really going to have time to find a guy, am I?"
"Don't say that," WuFei said sharply. "You'll be okay. I know it! One of us has to be a match!"
Usagi looked confused.
WuFei continued with pride. "Yesterday Heero, Duo and I got tested. You'll be okay." He added quietly. "We've been through too much for you to die."
"WuFei…" whispered Usagi.
Suddenly the loudspeaker broke into their talk.
"Will Chang WuFei please report to the office immediately."
WuFei got up to leave when Usagi stopped him.
"Maybe they found your jacket," she said, grinning.
He planted a kiss on her lips, whispering in her ear "Don't you go looking for and guys while I'm gone."
And he went out the door.
Usagi collapsed on the bed with ecstasy, and because she didn't have the strength to sit up anymore.

WuFei reached the office to see the others in their. His fingers were crossed, but immediately dropped when he saw Hotaru crying into Duo's chest.
He took a deep breath and stepped inside.
**I was gonna end it here…so be sure to thank me**
Hotaru turned to him, smiling a watery smile and threw her arms around him. WuFei could see Duo's jealous face. And everyone was smiling! (even Heero!!!!!)
Then he knew.
They were tears of joy.
He was a match!
Surprising everyone he jumped up grinning and started doing a little dance. Two pointy points, and few steps, a spin, and a few more pointy points.
Then Dr. Joushi walked in.
"When do we start?"
"Now," WuFei said, voice full of pride, strength, and happiness.
***
A few hours later WuFei sat by Usagi's side as she slept.
She started to wake from her sleep and the other's left leaving them alone. WuFei noticed vaguely that both couples were holding hands. (Heero/Rei! ^-^)
"WuFei?" Usagi asked.
"Yes," he said.
"I owe you my life," said Usagi, sitting up and throwing her arms around him sobbing. "You gave be back my life. Thanks you so much!"
"Rest," he said, placing her back on the bed. "You owe me nothing except maybe a few milk shakes…and a trip to the roller rink."
"Deal," she said smiling.
"And," WuFei added, blushing. "If you want to…ummmm…hang out any other times we can, if you want?
"Are you asking me out, Mr. Chang?" she said, smiling.
"Well if--"
"I'd love to!" Usagi giggled. "I would love it more then anything else in the whole world. Although sleep is a close second."
"Sleep," WuFei said smiling. "I'll be here when you wake up."
"Promise?"
"I promise," he said as she drifted off.
And so WuFei sat with her, long after visiting hours were over and long after the moon had risen high into the sky. He spent that night by her side, and every night after that.
**The End**
I really wanted to thank Kohan for giving me this experience. I really liked working on an a/u fic, I got a chance to write something that wasn't about Gundams or sailor scouts, and I really benefited from that. Thanks Kohan! And thanks to everyone who reviewed! I hope you liked the ending and that it wasn't to sappy…and that it didn't rush it…or mess it up big time…or spell Duo's name wrong…I'd just die if I did that…but anyway…I decided that WuFei and Usagi had a kid. A girl named Yume with shoulder length black hair and blue eyes. And so did Duo and Hotaru. A newborn girl named Kari (pronounced Car-ee) with brown hair and purple eyes. Rei is pregnant with a little boy. Rei want's it to be Heero jr. but Heero wants it to be named Basil. (Baz-ill…not the food…^-^) right now they're playing for it over rock paper scissors…I hate that game….
Kohan say… You dont' have to include a authors note from me, but if you really feel you have to, just make sure it says 'Thank you Miko-san!' in it ^_^.
Ur welcome! ^-^
