Silver Light
Chapter 5: Revelations and Tears...
When the senshi came across an indiscreet ally, they dashed inside
and de-transformed. By then Minako was awake and Hotaru was the only one
still out, luckily she had de-transformed in her sleep. Hakura carried
the sleeping Hotaru on her back. They walked towards the outers mansion,
silence hanging thick in the air. As they entered the mansion, Michiru
spoke, "When we get settled I want to explain something."
Ami sniffed as she wiped her eyes. She had just recently stopped
crying. 'I just can't stand the thought of losing Usagi-chan... again,
she was... is everything to us. She was my first friend....' Ami thought
glumly. Makoto came over and put an arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry, everything will be all right, just wait and see."
she said, comfortingly.
"I hope it will." she said, trying to smile.
The group moved into the main room and sat down. Hakura and
Michiru sat on the couch with Hotaru in between them. Rei sat on the chair
by the window, while Minako sat on the one across from it. Ami and Makoto
sat on the floor in between the couch and the chairs.
"Well, where is Odango Atama?" Rei asked again, getting a bad
feeling about this. 'Where is Usagi-chan, and why were we in the middle
of the street, that was totally destroyed, transformed, but not a single
scratch on us.' She thought, becoming more worried about what the senshi
of the sea was going to tell them.
"First I want to ask, does anyone remember what happened? Why
we were transformed?" Michiru asked. When everyone shook their head, she
sighed. "I was afraid of that."
"What is going on?" Minako asked, biting her bottom lip.
"What do you remember before waking up?" Michiru asked, trying
a different approach.
"The last thing I remember is... um... I was... I don't know."
Minako finished, scratching her head. Everyone sweat dropped. 'What
is going on? Why can't we remember?' Minako thought, frustrated. She
scoured her mind but she still came up with nothing.
"Well the last thing I remember was sweeping the shrine and
getting called... for something. I can't remember who called or what it
was for." Rei said, trying hard to remember something, anything beyond
that.
"I remember finishing my homework for next year, and then I
decided to... do something... This is so frustrating. I can remember anything."
Ami said, pondering a cause for all this.
"I was on my motorcycle and then the next thing I remember is
waking up and finding everyone unconscious." Hakura said, remembering that
terrible feeling she had gotten when she had first waken up.
"I was out for a walk and I was talking with this really cut-
um never mind... I can't remember anything before waking up, I don't even
remember getting called." Makoto said, blushing after thinking about what
she was about to say about the cute guy. 'Now is not the time for daydream,
Usagi-chan is missing... I hope... I don't want her to be... dead.' Makoto
thought, shaking her head away from her terrifying thought.
"The last thing I can remember is... running... I don't know
where or why..." Michiru answered vaguely.
Suddenly Hotaru began to stir. She shot up, her purple eye's
wide and said, "Michiru-mama, Usa... broach... fight... I re... mem...
ber..." was all she could get out before falling back unconscious.
"Hotaru!" Everyone cried out.
Hakura leapt in to action, catching Hotaru before she hit the
floor. Hakura picked her up and said, "I'm going to put her in bed." before
walking towards the stairs. "You can tell them what you found before I
get back."
The other remaining senshi turned towards Michiru. Ami looked
ready to cry again, Makoto just comforted the senshi of water and ice,
while Minako and Rei looked eagerly towards Michiru, although Rei's eyes
held a small amount of fear for what she was about to hear. Michiru cleared
her throat. She didn't want to be the one to have to tell the senshi that
their princess was missing and possibly dead.
"Um... well, when I first woke up I found something nearby..."
She started. "And um... I found this." She opened her hand showing Usagi's
broach. It was cracked and the crystal was missing. (A/N: The senshi never
found out what had happened with ChibiUsa in detail, Usagi left out the
part of the crystal shattering.)
"No.." Rei whispered, tears coming to her eyes. "Where is she?!
Can't she just be at home of something?! Maybe she has the crystal with
her and she lost the broach there one day! You know her miss Forgetfulness."
Rei said, almost hysterically. Minako sat in her chair, in shock. Her eyes
were wide and she wasn't even hearing Rei's ranting. "Can't Mercury do
a scan or something?!" Rei continued.
Ami shook her head, saying in an unsteady voice, "She's gone...
I c-couldn't find h-her anywhere..."
"If you couldn't find her that doesn't nessciarly mean she's
dead." Everyone turned to look at Minako. Minako continued, "because if
she was dead you would still be able to pick up her signature." Everyone
continued to stare at her in shock.
"Well, then WHERE IS SHE?!" Rei yelled breaking out of
the shock. Minako shrugged and Rei jumped her. She wrapped her hands around
Minako's neck yelling, "WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE?" over and over, shaking
Minako in the process. Makoto jumped up and it took both her and Hakura,
who had just come back down, to carry the demented senshi of fire off of
Minako. Rei kept on screaming, but it soon died down and turn into sobs.
"Why?" she asked, "why?"
No one understood so they stayed silent. Meanwhile Ami took
out her mercury computer and tried to scan for Usagi again, but this time
she scanned for her crystal. *beep beep* Everyone looked towards Ami, eyes
hopeful. When Ami shook her head there faces dropped. "I scan for her crystal
and according to the computer its no where to be found." Ami said, "but
that doesn't mean that she's dead." She turned towards Michiru, "is there
any way to get a hold of Setsuna?"
Understanding dawned on everyone's faces. "Maybe, I don't. She
was punished for interfering last time, but if we use sailor transport
we could get there and see if she knows where Usagi is." Michiru said,
smiling at the idea of finding Usagi.
"Hey wait, shouldn't we get Luna and Artimis first." Minako
said, just remembering their guardian cats. Everyone shared a look and
almost simulasly yelled, "I'm not telling her!" Everyone except Hakura
who realized to late that she didn't yelled and said, "Damn."
Michiru smiled comfortingly at Hakura and told her, "I'll go
and get them with Minako-chan and you can get ready for telling her. I
pity you." So the senshi of the sea and the senshi of love and beauty walked
towards the entrance, leaving one sleeping senshi of death, destruction
and rebirth, one pissed off senshi of the sky along, two crying senshi,
one of fire, the other of water and ice, and one senshi of thunder and
lightening that was stuck comforting the rest of the senshi.
DBZ dimension
When Usagi arrived back at Capsule Corp. Bulma was outside waiting
for her, ChiChi was with her. "Uh oh." Usagi whispered. When the two women
saw Usagi they ran towards her.
"Where have you been, we've been worried sick." ChiChi almost
yelled, running towards the frozen rabbit.
"I thought you had been kidnapped or something." Bulma did yell.
They crushed Usagi in a huge hug, cutting of her airway unknowingly.
Goku, who had conveniently stepped out of the way of the stamped, noticed
Usagi turning blue, stepped in, timidly, not wanting ChiChi to turn on
him, and said, "Um.. ChiChi?"
"Goku are YOU responsible for her disappearance?!" ChiChi screamed
at Goku, not releasing her hold on the now purple Usagi.
"He better not be?!" Bulma yelled, only tightening her hold
on Usagi.
"I was-"
"I knew it!" ChiChi screeched.
"I'm going to kill you!" Bulma screamed at the now cowering
Goku.
"Well-"
"Wait till I get you home." ChiChi screeched. By now Usagi was
a dark shade of bluish purple. "Your in so much trouble, Mister."
"You better have not hu-"
"YOUR CHOKING USAGI!" Goku yelled, then almost immediately slapping
his hand over his mouth. The two women's mouths dropped open. They turned
and looked at the almost reddish black Usagi. They quickly jumped away
from Usagi, not taking any notice in the cowering Goku.
"Oh I'm so sorry Usa." Bulma apologized, almost bowing to Usagi
for forgiveness.
"I. so sorry too! Please forgive me." ChiChi said, as if begging
to be forgive.
Usagi had fallen to her knees when Bulma and ChiChi had finally
let her go, and was currently trying to get her breath back. She lifted
one hand, held it up, and wheezed out, "Just give *wheeze* me a *wheeze*
minute..." The two women nodded, bowing their heads in forgiveness. It
took Usagi a total of 6 minutes and 46 seconds before she was able to talk
again, according to Bulma.
"Oh Usa, we're so sorry, we were just worried about you." Bulma
said trying to explain. ChiChi nodded in agreement.
"It okay, I forgive you." Usagi said smiling, "It's a good thing
I can hold my breath for a long time."
Both ChiChi and Bulma breathed a sigh of relief. Then ChiChi
got to the question that had been bothering her all day, "Where were you?"
"I was training." was her simple answer.
The two worried women fell over anime style. "I can't believe
I forgot that she had to train." Bulma said, feeling like the stupidest
thing on earth.
"I know how you feel." ChiChi said.
"I didn't want to wake you up when I left, so I didn't." Usagi
said in way of an explanation.
"What time did you leave? Cause I get up pretty early." Bulma
said.
"Goku woke me up at 4:00am." Usagi said, yawning at the memory
of her lack of sleep.
"WHAT?! I can't believe Goku made you get up that early." ChiChi
said, thinking up her lecture she was going to tell Goku when she got home,
not noticing that he was still cowering over to their left.
"He has some nerve." Bulma said, "I don't even get up till 4:30am."
Usagi sweat dropped and decided to stand up for Goku. "Well
I did ask to be trained so you shouldn't be to hard on him." She started,
"I mean if I was training you we would have to get early too. You know
the saying the early bird gets the worm." 'Minako...'
"Well I guess your right." ChiChi said, slowly, not wanting to
disagree with Usagi, but she also didn't want her to have to put up with
having to get up so early. "But I'm still gonna talk with Goku about having
a later time to start."
Usagi sighed. There was no arguing with these women. Instead
she smiled and said, "Well since that is settled, can I get something to
eat?"
Bulma smiled and grabbed one of her arms, pulling towards the
house. "Come on, I'll fix you something to eat." ChiChi followed along,
leaving Goku behind, still cowering at their retreating backs.
When they entered the house ChiChi rushed a head to start something
for Usagi to eat. By the time they enter the kitchen ChiChi had a four
course meal set out. At Usagi's open mouthed stare ChiChi said, "Practice
makes perfect."
As Usagi sank down into her chair at the table, she wonder silently
if she had died and gone to heaven. Almost as soon as her bottom touched
the chair, she started gobbling her food down almost as fast as Goku could.
ChiChi was a bit shocked someone could eat as fast as Goku but then again
she wasn't about to complain to Usagi. Bulma had already seen Usagi eat,
but it was still a shock to see her down that much food and still stay
a size 5, much to her growing envy.
"This is delious ChiChi, I haven't had a meal like this
since... Mak- um, never mind." Usagi said, stopping because she didn't
want to tell them of her past just yet.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about that Bulma asked a
question that had been bothering her since they were first introduced.
"What's your last name?"
Usagi and ChiChi sweat dropped at the sudden change in conversation
but Usagi answered anyway. "It's Tsukino. What are yours?"
"Well mines Briefs and ChiChi's is Son." Bulma explained.
"Okay, so um..." Usagi started not know what to say next.
"Hey I noticed that you didn't get your hair cut! You said that
you were." ChiChi said, trying to cover up the lull in the conversation.
"Oh yeah, I forgot, I was to busy shopping." She said with a
smile.
"Why don't we go now! I've got nothing else to do, but just
to tell you in my opinion I love your hair the way it is. It's so pretty
and so long! How did you get so long?" Bulma asked, playing with her hair.
"My hair grows really fast for some reason. You see if I cut
it up to my knees, in like a week it will be back to it's original length,
but it always seems to stop growing when it hits the floor." Usagi explained.
'Long
enough for the royal hairstyle.'
"I would love to have hair that long and the color is so pretty,
it's like a silvery waterfall." ChiChi told her.
"I think it makes me look old. It looks white! I also wanted
to dye it blond when I went to the hairstylist."
"You will do no such thing! I know people that would die for
this hair color!" ChiChi exclaimed.
"Come on were going to hairstylist now, and maybe while were
there I could get some treatment of my own." Bulma said with a smile.
"Oh yeah I heard of this new shampoo they have and its only
available in a few salons." ChiChi said walking towards the door, Bulma
right beside her. When they noticed Usagi wasn't with them they turned
and found her still siting at the table, with this expression of... fear
on her face.
'Oh no, another girls days out! I don't know if I can live
through this one if it's anything like the last.' Usagi thought, fearing
for her safety.
They ignored the expression and grabbed her arm and pulled her
upstairs saying she had to change out of her training outfit before they
left. They then shoved her in her room saying to hurry and that they wanted
to get there before they closed. 'Well it's only to the salon, they
can't do anything that bad there... at least I hope not.'
Usagi rushed to her dresser and grabbed some clothes, then ran
towards the bathroom to wash up.
"I hope we didn't treat her to bad." Bulma said, worriedly.
"Did you see the look on her face before we brought her upstairs?
She looked almost scared of us." ChiChi said.
"I know what you mean. I didn't think we were that bad last
time we went out... were we?" Bulma asked, not sure if they had treated
Usagi right.
Before ChiChi could say anything the door to Usagi's room opened.
When Usagi came out ChiChi said, "Wow, how do you come up with these outfits,
I know Bulma's clothes and she doesn't have anything like that."
Usagi was wearing a pair of white shorts that hit her at mid
thigh, with a sleeveless icy blue shirt that if she lifted her arms was
midriff. For shoes she was wearing blue flip-flops with white flowers.
On her head she had put on a white hat with a blue flower on the front.
She had shoved all her hair under the hat. (A/N: If that's possible.)
Usagi smiled at the compliment and said, "Thanks. Now lets go
to the salon before it closes."
Bulma smiled. "Ya, don't want to have to wait till tomorrow."
So with that the three women ran towards the door. As they left
the house ChiChi finally noticed Goku, who, unbelievably, was still cowering,
standing next to the house. "What are you doing here Goku, you should be
home by now." ChiChi yelled at him. As if waked up he jumped only to end
up on his but in the dirt. "Go home, and, I can't believe I'm saying this,
order in some food for you and Gohan, I'll be home later."
Goku's mouth dropped open, but he quickly got off the ground
and said, "Yes ChiChi." before taking off.
"Now let's go to the salon." ChiChi yelled, running towards
the car, that Bulma had just opened. (Usagi was still amazed at that.)
Bulma grabbed Usagi and off they went.
When they reached the salon, Usagi raced out of the car and went
straight for the bathroom. "I don't think she likes it when you drive."
ChiChi observed as she and Bulma stepped out of the car.
"Well you used to be like that to." Bulma said, remembering
when ChiChi threw up in the back seat.
"Hey, now that I'm out with you more, I've gotten used to your
habits." She told her, with a smile.
"Yeah, it seems Usagi has done us good coming here, even if
we don't know where she's from, or anything." Bulma said, smiling as well.
"Now were good old friends, I guess."
"Yup."
Just then Usagi stumbled out of the shop and said, "Are you
coming or are you just going to stand there all night." Bulma and ChiChi
burst out laughing. Usagi stood there, wondering what was going on in there
minds, but after a minute or two they settled down, so only a few giggles
were heard now and then. "Did I miss something?" Usagi asked, with a confused
expression on her face.
"Nothing!"
"Not a thing!"
And with that they went into the Salon.
