Chibi Usa sat up in bed and looked over to the spot next to her. But the space was empty.
She looked out the window to find the dawn was almost bout to rise.
Chibi Usa climbed out of bed and walked to the window and peered out. Things had changed so much since her angel disappeared.
But only a week had gone by, one week her daddy drew himself up in his shell.
But he let her in; only when they were alone he opened his arms to her.
Poor Duo.
Chibi Usa sighed and propped her chin up with her palms.
The sun was about to rise. Another ten minutes the gorgeous moon would raise.
Chibi Usa watched as the full moon cast down a strange glittery ray of light to the ground outside.
Chibi Usa pressed her small face to the window.
Down below a person appeared.
Chibi Usa gasped in awe at the image of a cloaked figure.
The person was slightly hunched over, as it stared out at the land beyond the mansion.
But slowly the figure turned and looked up at her window.
A slender hand rose and waved at her before the moons rays illuminated the cloaked figure and it vanished along with the moon.
Chibi Usa had to shut her eyes as the sun rose to wake the world with it's light.
Chibi Usa moved away from the glass window.
"Something about that person..."
A knock at the door startled Chibi Usa.
She looked up just as the door slid open.
"Chibi Usa?"
She grinned, "Hai Uncle Duo. I'm up."
The young pilot smiled and his eyes scanned the room.
"He never went to bed again?"
"Hai."
Duo forced a grin on his handsome face, "Don't worry, Usa. He'll come out of it."
Chibi Usa thought to herself, "no he wont. Not until I bring my angel back."
Duo held out his hand to her, "ready to eat Usa?"
Chibi Usa flushed, but took his hand, "Hai Duo."
Chibi Usa sat down in a chair at the breakfast table.
Quatre set down a plate of food in front of her.
Duo sat down next to her.
Quatre paused when he went to get Duo's plate.
He stared at Chibi Usa as if he had seen a ghost.
Duo asked, "Hey Q man what's wrong?"
Quatre shook his head, "Chibi Usa you've been growing."
He turned to fetch Duo's plate.
"Really, "Quatre san?"
Duo looked at Chibi Usa to who was eating her food in a polite manner like she had been taught.
Chibi Usa sat up straight her elbows off the table.
Duo tapped his head with his index finger, "He's right. I think you've grown an inch."
Chibi Usa grinned, "Does that mean I get to go to work with you today Duo?"
Duo replied, "Yeah sure you can Usa. How could I say no to such a gorgeous babe."
Chibi Usa flushed a dark red at the comment.
She continued to eat her food so she wouldn't make Duo late for work.
Duo pulled the car over to the side of the road and the two climbed out.
"This is were you work?"
Duo nodded, "yeah I'm a mechanic. I help fix broken things for people."
Chibi Usa grinned, "neat."
Duo smiled and led her the way to the small building.
Duo opened the glass door, "Here you go milady."
Chibi Usa giggled slightly and entered.
Duo came in behind her and the door shut with a clank.
"Hello Duo!!"
"Hey Hildi, how's it going."
Chibi looked over to the young woman with short dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. She was eating and apple.
The woman smiled.
"Ohayoo gozimasu."
The blue hair woman looked down at her. Her eyes widen in surprise.
"Hey Duo whose the kid?"
Duo came out of the bathroom. He grinned down at Chibi Usa.
"She's Heero's girl."
"You're kidding right."
Duo shook his head as he walked up to Chibi Usa. He lifted her up and sat her down on the counter.
"you're saying that this girl is Heero Yui's daughter."
Chibi Usa frowned, "I'm his musume."
Hildi shook her head.
"Unbelievable. I would have never believed he would end up with Ralena sama."
Chibi Usa scowled, "That baka onna is not my okaasan."
Hildi glanced at Duo in question. Duo replied, "Her name is Usagi. She save Heero's life when his gundam crashed into the ocean."
Hildi nodded. "Anyway, Duo are you here to stay?"
Chibi Usa shot her gaze to Duo, her eyes pleaded with him to say no.
Duo shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Hildi."
He looked at Chibi Usa, as she jumped down to the floor. Duo asked, "Ready to get to work?"
Chibi Usa grinned and grabbed his hand dragging him out the back door.
Hildi sighed, but followed.
Chibi Usa looked around her surroundings.
"What is this place?"
Duo glanced back at Chibi Usa and a small smile crept onto his face.
"It's a junkyard. People come here looking for parts."
Chibi Usa grinned suddenly, "Cool. Uh Uncle Duo who was that back there?"
Duo sighed, "She's my girlfriend."
Chibi Usa froze and she stared at Duo's back.
"Girlfriend?" Her voice was barley above a whisper but Duo heard her loud and clear.
He turned and looked into her sadden face.
"Yeah, I've known her for like ever. She's been wanting me to live with her."
Chibi Usa slowly shook her head. "No you can't..."
Duo raised an eyebrow his smile faded. "Usa what's wrong?"
Chibi Usa shook her head, turned and ran.
"Chibi Usa wait!!!" he reached out for her hoping she would stop.
But then her small form disappeared behind one of the piles of junk made of metal.
Hildi came out into the back, "Duo, why are you yelling!"
Duo looked at Hildi, "Chibi Usa ran off. We need to find her before she gets hurt."
Hildi nodded, "Alright you go after her I'll cut her off."
Duo nodded and took off at a run.
Chibi Usa ducked down inside a shaded area. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her kneecaps.
Duo suddenly came into her view. He came to a stop and scanned around himself but then his cobalt blue eyes found her.
"Chibi Usa."
Chibi Usa looked away, "leave me alone." She wiped her tears from her cheeks.
He knelt down in front of her so they were eye level.
He tilted his head to the side and brushed her tears away with his hand.
Chibi Usa sniffled, "go away." Her bottom lips quivered slightly.
"What's wrong Usa?"
More tears came and they spilled from her dark eyes.
"I don't want you to leave me."
She leaped into his arms sobbing, startling Duo.
He rubbed her back gently, "Shhh it's ok. I'm not going anywhere."
Chibi Usa buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"Uh huh. Hildi wants you to leave me."
Duo shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere for a long time. And if I did you have Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, and your dad."
Chibi Usa hugged him closer. "But whose going to make me laugh when I get hurt. Who's going to make me feel good when I feel bad? Who's going to be my uncle Duo!"
Her sobs racked her body, as all the fear and pain came out in waves.
Duo held her closer to him, his arms wrapping around her small form.
"I wont leave you Chibi Usa. I promise. I wont go anywhere."
Chibi Usa slightly pulled back. Her eyes were red rimmed, her cheeks flushed and swollen. Her face stained with her tears.
"You promise?"
Her voice almost broke Duo's heart. It sounded as if his answer would change the very essence of life.
"Yes Usa I promise."
Hildi stood from afar, a sad expression on her face.
She sighed slightly and turned to go back to the building.
Chibi Usa jumped down from Duo's arms and latched onto his hand tightly in hers.
Duo grinned when he noticed the tears were all in the past.
It made him feel good when he was the source of her smile.
She looked out the window to find the dawn was almost bout to rise.
Chibi Usa climbed out of bed and walked to the window and peered out. Things had changed so much since her angel disappeared.
