[:::Chapter 4:::]

The next day was Friday and the gang had planned a get together at the temple. Yaten and Taiki were not in school although Seiya was. The other two had gone out to find an apartment, but Seiya didn't want to miss one moment that he could spend with her. The class was biology. Since Ami and Taiki were lab partners, as were Minako and Yaten, and the boys were not in class today they were paired together. Seiya however had already convinced Usagi to be his partner the previous day. The topic of the day was genetics. Minako wasn't really paying attention but instead dreaming about what a child of her and Yaten would look like.. -What color eyes would it have.- her thought was broken by the teach saying ".and to determine eye color.". Minako immediately perked to attention, she actually wanted to learn about this!

"To determine eye color you take the parents eye color for example I'll use you two, (pointing to Usagi and Seiya) pretend you were married and were having a child."the teacher lectured.

-I wish- Seiya thought to himself and thhen looked around to make sure that he didn't say that out loud but noticed Usagi blushing furiously!

"If you two were to have a child, since you both have blue eyes, even though they are not the same color blue you child would have."

-Red eyes, like Chibi-Usa- Usagi thoughtt to herself.

".a variation of blue." The teacher finished.

Usagi raised her hand. a first for her in any class! The teacher was taken completely off guard by this and asked her what she wanted with a shocked look on his face.

"Is there a possibility of the child having red eyes?" She asked.

Ami and Minako looked at her questioningly, they knew immediately what she was thinking.

"Absolutely not, there is no possible way for a child of two blue eyed parents to have red eyes. To be born with red eyes one of the child's parents would have to possess red eyes, or a variation of red. Red is a dominate color and would surpass what ever color the other parent had, therefore there couldn't be even a hidden gene of red in any blue eyed child." The teacher stated still taken back by Usagi asking a question. and an intelligent one at that.

Seiya sat next to her puzzled as a look of utter despair washed over her face. "Odango."

After school the group was joined by Yaten and Taiki, who were on their way back from finding an apartment. (which they did by the way) and asked Seiya to come and help them get furniture to put in it. Seiya agreed and left the girls, he was still concerned with the way Usagi was acting so he told her that he would call her later and she could come and check out their new apartment.

Once they had left Usagi looked at Ami, -She's smart she'll know, maybe I just misunderstood something.- Usagi thought. "Ami. " Usagi trailed off.

"Yes Usagi."Ami answered afraid of the question that was to follow.

"How could.. How could Chibi-Usa have red eyes if Mamoru and I both have blue eyes?" The question hung in the air for a moment until Minako answered it.

"Usagi I'm sure it was just a freak occurrence, I guess you could say that it makes her special!" Minako stated, trying to be as up beat as she possibly could but shot Ami a grave look at the same time.

"Umm, I guess you're right." Usagi said, but that wasn't what she was thinking -How did she get red eyes-

In the distance Setsuna and Michiru turned and walked away.

"She's going to keep wondering about it, why don't you just tell her."

"I don't want to hurt her,"

"But she'll be even more hurt if you don't"
