Heero threw off the blankets and realized Chibi Usa was gone.
He scrambled to his feet in a rush. But his feet were tangled in the sheet and he fell to the floor with a smack. He grunted from the pain but it didn't stop him.
Heero threw open the door and stopped to find Chibi Usa standing there.
Slowly her gazed moved up his half naked form till it met his gaze.
"Morning Daddy."
Heero fell to his knees and pulled Chibi Usa tightly into his arms and refused to let go.
He buried his face in her shoulder and held her little body to his.
"Usa."
"Daddy..." her voice wavered with emotion. "I'm sorry daddy. I wanted to see the sunset in the garden and I'm sorry."
She threw her arms around his neck, "I'm sorry." She cried onto his shoulder. "Shhh. It's ok Usa. I was just worried."
Chibi Usa pulled back and Heero brushed her tears away with his thumb. It was very seldom when he should a fatherly affection in the open. "
You're still a little girl and, I don't want to lose you..."
Chibi Usa nodded and in her mind she added 'too.' He wanted to say that.
He didn't want to lose her like he lost Usagi, their angel, and her mother.
"Breakfast is almost ready daddy. Duo accidentally woke up everyone when he came thrashing through the house to get to me, at dawn. He said I scared him too. Uncle Wufei is upset with him, but he'll get over it, huh?"
Heero nodded and stood to his feet. The two then went down to eat breakfast.


She snapped awake. What woke her up now? The nightmare was on its fifth cycle before it melted away and she opened her eyes to the darkness.
God she hated it here, when would she finally leave?
Then Usagi realized that he had come back, the one she had spoken to, what was it, two, three days ago. She had no idea how long she had slept.
"Hello. So you came back."
"You knew I would."
Usagi wanted to laugh but it hurt too much. "What would you want to know?"
There was a long pause and Usagi feared he left her. But then he spoke up, "Tell me more about you."
Usagi sighed, even though it was strained. She felt as if she was trapped under a 500 lb hippo.
"Alright. I'll start out with my name. I have many names but most people call me Usagi. I was once known as Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."
"Tell me about the moon kingdom."
Usagi sighed again.
"Alright..."


Chibi Usa had stayed in her room all day waiting. She had spent her time by studying and playing.
Duo had taken her out to lunch and asked a million questions about the lady.
Even though how much she loved Duo she wouldn't tell him.
After Lunch Chibi Usa had gone to her room and cleaned it, top to bottom. She redid everything to pass the time by.
Her daddy had disappeared like usual during the day.
The others had went about things like they always did each day. Uncle Quatre worked, Uncle Trowa read, Uncle Wufei trained and Uncle Duo watched TV. Usually she'd visit them all but she chose to stay in her room and clean.
By dinnertime her daddy still hadn't come back but he usually came back around midnight. He'd sneak in the window.
Chibi Usa wasn't sure if the others knew but they didn't seem to care either.
By nightfall and bed time Chibi Usa had nearly ran to bed.
She had tired herself out during the day's work and even before Duo could come and tuck her in she had already gone to sleep.

"Hello little one."
"Hello...cosmos right?"
the older woman nodded and knelt down to Chibi Usa's size.
She didn't wear the robe anymore. She was now dressed in all white, with a short and skimpy outfit.
"I must warn you Chibi Usa, this mission will be tough. But if you do it right you will not have to fight."
Chibi Usa nodded.
"The person who keeps your mother, I mean your angel captive is a lost soul. If you talk him into giving Usagi back it will be much easier. But if you don't you will have to fight. And he's a strong warrior."
The woman paused briefly, "I will take you directly to your angel, but you have to be at the moonlight in the garden when the rays hit the spot you found me last night."
Chibi Usa nodded, "I wont fail Cosmos."
She nodded and stood. "Alright Chibi Usa. Close your eyes and I will begin."
Chibi Usa nodded and shut her eyes.
The woman then spoke, "I take my life and give her the power. She is the destined Cosmos. The True ruler of the Universe."
Chibi Usa's eyes snapped open in shock.
But it was too late.
