Usagi walked down the hall to the room Heero and Chibi Usa shared. She walked through the door and entered in on Heero telling Chibi Usa a story.
"This hero was very strong person. She was very brave to take on her duties to protect a planet that didn't even know she existed."
"Was she pretty?"
"Very."
Chibi Usa grinned and pulled the pink bunny closer to her.
"This Girl fought against every enemy brought against her. But one day this one evil person, named Chaos came to earth and attacked them. He destroyed the friends of that girl. but somehow she triumphed over him and brought her friends back. She became queen of the Earth with her prince at her side."
"Was the prince handsome?"
"I'm not sure."
Chibi Usa pursed her lips together but let him continue.
"But then one day Chaos came back and over took The kings body sending him to the dark side. He destroyed the kingdom and everyone else but the queen. She fought him but was loosing. So with this powerful crystal she locked him away inside her. What she didn't know was that the bound between them became whole and complete, so now they shared a life-force."
Chibi Usa sat up and stared at Heero with wide eyes.
"The queen died, but came back as an Angel. This Angel was to watch over a certain person."
Chibi Usa asked, "was the person a man or woman?
"A man."
"Was he handsome?"
"She thought so."
Chibi Usa inhaled deeply.
"Well, one day the fates planned to end the young mans life, but the angel wouldn't let it be. So against the sacred rules she saved him. The two were stranded on an island. With the only animal they saw, a bunny."
"Was the bunny special?"
"Oh she was. She brought them together."
"Was the bunny like our Luna?"
"Yes she was."
"well the young man didn't trust the angel but soon fell in love with her. The two were saved and taken to a mansion."
"Did they live happily ever after?"
"No they didn't. One day the angle left to fight Chaos once more."
"Chaos is an evil man."
"Yes he is. The angel left the young man a locket to remember her by. But the young went after her. He landed on the moon and found her dead. But then she started to glow, and in her place was a beautiful baby."
"Chibi Usa was now in tears. He's an evil man. How dare he hurt her."
Heero stood and helped Chibi Usa lay back down.
The young man took the baby home and kept her close to him, because it was the only thing that kept them together."
Heero tuck his little girl in and turned off the lights.
"Daddy, who were they?"
"Who Chibi Usa?"
"The angel and the man. Who were they?"
Heero kissed Chibi Usa's forehead. "Well Chibi Usa. That Angel was your mother. And the man was me."
"My mommy is an Angel...and that evil man killed her. H...how...mean. Oh daddy..." Heero hushed her gently. "It's ok Usa. Your mother promised me that she would always love me. And I will forever love her."
Chibi Usa whimpered, as the tears fell from her eyes.
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too Chibi Usa."
Heero then pulled away and left the room.
Usagi walked up to Chibi Usa. Tears fell from her eyes. Chibi Usa was almost asleep.
"Oh Usa. I love you, and Heero so much. But I can't be with you."
The door didn't open again till several hours had passed.
Usagi looked up.
Heero slowly entered staggering around through the dark.
She watched him move through the darkness, slipping off his shoes and socks.
Her blue eyes followed him to the bed where he sat down to pull off his tank top.
She shivered slightly. She just wanted to be with him for a moment, even if it meant for no longer than a minute.
She just wanted him to see her, to hold her one more time. To look in her eyes with love filled into his depths.
She felt tears coming again. This was torture. Was this her punishment for saving his soul from hell many years ago?
She bowed her head as the tears slipped past her lids.
Suddenly a soft hand tilted her head up.
Usagi stared up into the face of Queen Serenity.
"Mother?"
"Yes my dear. I have heard your aching soul, and I have come to ease it."
"Mother what did I do? Why must I watch my child grow but not hold her or tell her who I am?"
Tears cascaded down her rosy cheeks falling onto her princess gown.
"Serenity, this isn't your punishment. You aren't being punished. You are rewarded to see them. If you were being punished, you wouldn't have the joy to see your child or lover."
"I can't take this pain anymore. I can't live without having the blessing of holding him."
Queen Serenity whispered, "My dear, I shall grant you your wish. But it won't be much. You can hold your love once more, but not in flesh. Reach him in his dreams. Take away his pain and show him love."
Queen Serenity kissed her daughter on the cheek and slowly vanished from sight.
Usagi looked to the bed as Heero laid down. He never wore covers.
Usagi stood and moved to his side. His eyes were shut as he waited for sleep to come.
Usagi brushed his bangs from his face and reached for her locket. She lightly touched the lid and it opened.
Heero didn't stir.
She laid it down next to him and leaned down.
"Heero I love you."
Usagi pressed her lips to his softly she felt everything around her slowly melt away.
"This hero was very strong person. She was very brave to take on her duties to protect a planet that didn't even know she existed."
