Title: Usagi-Pilot 06
Chapter: 5
Author: Fate's Child (Ran)
Date: July 8, 2001

Makoto let Quatre take his sister from her arms and went to stand by her brother. She gave him a hug first and held back the tears that threatened to escape. When she was composed, she turned to look at him and he noticed her sad eyes.
"Ko-chan, we're warriors. It is in our blood." He gave her a boyish grin, "besides, there's no rest for the wicked." He was rewarded with a small grin. She looked at where Quatre was trying to calm Usagi down. He followed her gaze.
"I remember how strong their bond was back in the Silver Millennium, I imagine that all of her pain and anguish are effecting him and visa versa."
"Only he doesn't know emotion here, in this life. It's bound to be driving him crazy." Trowa replied looking in the same direction as his sister. Suddenly, the door behind him burst open and Duo entered the room. He took one look at the way Quatre had Usagi cradled in his lap and the arm Trowa had slung around Makoto and whistled.
"Wow. I thought you two were going out? Then I find you in this room with two absolutely hot babes! Is there something you've been hiding from me?" Makoto pulled out her gun and pointed it at the braided boy.
"Leave this room now, Duo Maxwell. I will hurt you in 5, 4..."
"Ahhhh!! Another physco chick! It's invasion of the physco babes! Hey," he got a thoughtful look on his face, "are you going to take me back to your home planet to father a whole new race of super-"
"0." Makoto fired the gun and shot the very edge of the pilot's braid. Duo eeped and ran out of the room, clutching his beloved braid.
"You're evil! EVIL!!" His screech could be heard all the way down the hall. Makoto smirked and turned back to her Princess and Quatre.
Finally, Usagi's tears stopped and she looked up to see who was holding her.
"Quatre? When did you get here?" He smiled gently at his sister.
"A while ago. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be okay. I just," she sighed, "I love him still."
"I know." They both stood, and grinned at the royalty of Jupiter. "Gee, this looks familiar." Everyone chuckled. They had been in much the same position when they had first met back on the moon.
"What?! Another Onna?" They all turned towards the door to see a shocked Wufei standing in the doorway holding his katana. Trowa's arm tightened slightly around Makoto's shoulders while she just stared.
"Wufei..." her voice came out an astonished whisper before her mind kicked in. Lightning blazed in her eyes. "What did you call me, you ponytailed freak?"
"You have a ponytail too," Wufei pointed out, silently wondering why he was even speaking to this weak woman. But there was something familiar about her... a feeling that intensified when he saw her earrings.
"Yeah, but it's not as tight as yours. Maybe that's it. You have your ponytail on too tight." Makoto smirked as she walked over to the Nataku pilot. In one move, she had him on his back and pinned.
"My name is Makoto Kino. It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chang. Now, what were you going to say?"
"Where did you get the earrings?" His question took everyone in the room by surprise.
"Someone very important to me gave them to me the last time I saw him." Makoto answered as her mind replayed the last time she had seen Wufei in the Silver Millennium. He had been leaving with the rest of earth's guard to fight the generals on earth. She unconsciously placed a finger on the earring to play with it. Wufei sat up, his eyes narrowing.
*Flashback*
"Oh, Fei-chan, they're beautiful. I promise never to take them off."
"They're my pledge to you, Ma-chan, that I'll come back to you. I'll find you even if it takes me thousands of years. I love you."
"I love you too."
*End Flashback*
"The person who gave them to you, did you love him?" The question left his mouth before he could stop it and suddenly it was only him and Makoto in the room. Everyone else seemed to have disappeared.
"Yes, I loved him very much. Even if he was an insufferable fool who liked to think that I should be placed on a pedestal." Makoto mumbled the last part. Suddenly, she found herself staring straight into a pair of black eyes.
"He loved you too." And before she could utter a reply, his lips descended to capture hers in a soul searing kiss. A few minutes later, a throat cleared itself by the doorway and they turned to see Quatre, Trowa and Usagi all smiling at them. Wufei, possibly for the first time in his reincarnated life, smiled and hugged each one of them.
"I take it you remembered?" Trowa's question came out covered in mirth.
"Of course. Does Heero remember?" At the mention of his name, Usagi's smile faded.
"No. He doesn't. But he'll come around. I know it." She dropped her voice. "He has to."
"It was you at the base last night, wasn't it?" Quatre's question came out laced in amusement as he remembered how upset the 'perfect soldier' had been.
"Yeah." Suddenly, all traces of delight were wiped from Makoto's face. "And from what I've heard from Usagi and Trowa about the Gundams in this dimension, it can't be good."
"What do you mean?" Wufei looked questioningly at his girlfriend.
"It seems that there is a substance similar to gundanium found on Jupiter. Oz, or whoever I stole the disk from last night is planning on collecting it and making more fighting machines. It should be able to take as much as your Gundams do, and if they get it, if anyone tries to remove it from Jupiter, we are in major trouble. Not only will they then be equipped with something to fight you with, but it will take away a lot of the planet's resources. All though there is no human-rather jovian- life on Jupiter right now, there are still the wildlife and botanical factors. If they were to take this substance, it would virtually destroy all life and chances of future life on Jupiter."
"That's not good." Trowa had turned pale. Though the rest of the people in the room looked grim, it was he and Makoto who were most strongly tied to Jupiter, it being their planet.
"But, we have until September 4 until they go. They wrote that they were going to launch a team at about 8 am." Trowa paled even further.
"What time is it?"
"7:48, why?"
"They launch in 12 minutes." Wufei's voice was grim. All of the pilot's watches beeped.
"Pilots," Dr. J's voice came out, "you have a mission."

Dun dun dun! Wow, another chapter done. Well, here's the deal, I have decided to post the next chapter really really soon. Like in two days. So read and until then...
