~~~~^_^ I dedicate this story to all the Heero & Usagi fans, especially Bre-chan a.k.a Astarte^_^~~~~
While Trowa was escorted to Quatre's suite he took in his surroundings. Quatre had gone all out in every aspect of it. Lighting, carpeting, paintings, plants, rooms, and just the sheer size were truly amazing. Every year he came back, it seemed as if more work had been put into it. Making it even more inviting and hard to leave. They had decided to make it a tradition that every year when the circus stopped by, they would perform inside the casino. This year was no different from any other so here he was was keeping the tradition alive. The security guard knocked on the door and Quatre answered.
"Trowa! Oh man, it's so good to see you, come in."
Trowa entered and again looked around. Quatre was obviously rolling in the money. His suite was very sweet. Heero, who he wasn't expecting to see, was on the phone. Trowa threw him a quick wave, whcih was returned. He then took a seat on a couch and Quatre offered him some tea. He accepted.
"So how's it gong Quatre? Business is obviously doing fine, but how about you?"
"I'm just great. I've even meet a very special someone. She's sure not lacking in the looks department which is a real plus ."
Trowa gaged a little on his tea then set it down, "What did you say?"
"Minako, she's great! I used to be too busy, but then after one special night I discovered that there is always time for woman."
"Oh, really? I was wondering when you were going to to find someone."
"Yeah, I used to not be a one woman man if you know what I mean, but then Noin told me to be careful. I met Minako not to long after that and well, I've decided I don't need anyone else beside's her."
"That's great Quatre."
"How about you Trowa? Met anyone specail?"
"Only Catherine, but sisters don't count do they? She means well but she always has her own opinions about any girl I'm interested in. And you know how she is, she tells them right to their face that they're not good enough for her brother. Plus being in the circus isn't the greatest way to meet someone. We're constantly moving around. But..."
"But what?" asked Heero returning from his finished phone call, having over heard that last few things Trowa said.
"But, actually a few weeks ago I hadn't been feeling too well, so I paid a visit to the doctor that travels around with us. He had a new assistant who's in training to become a doctor herself oneday."
" 'Herself'? " asked Quatre raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah...her name is Ami, and as soon as I took one look into her eyes I felt better then I'd ever felt before. She's kind of quiet but in a really sweet kind of way. I found myself coming up with dumb excuses just to visit her. A headache one day, a stomach ache the next. I really like being around her, there's just something special I feel everytime I am. She's caught on by now but doesn't seem to mind. She's made time just to spend it with me, nothings happened but I think she's really starting to like me too."
"The quiet type huh?" Quatre asked, "They're easy to take advantage of. If you really like her, take it nice and slow. That's my experience."
Trowa and Heero looked at each other and both gave a light laugh. One of the rarest things that either ever did. They couldn't believe that their Quatre had finallly become a man.
"So what brings you here Heero, business or pleasure?" Trowa asked taking another sip of tea. "Knowing you, I would say, business."
"That was Duo on the phone, he told me my target will be here tonight. He'll be coming by later also."
"Oh Duo, Mr. Justice? Does he think he can prosecute and get rid of every asshole that comes around? His job is getting to his head." Trowa stated. The fun loving happy go lucky Duo was slowly changing and letting his new job take over his life.
"Whoa, I almost forget." Quatre said rising and began to move valuable items that were close to the floor to higher ground. "Speaking of justice, Wufei and Sally are going to be coming by any minute, it completely slipped my mind."
"Has their clan grown any larger?" Trowa asked smiling.
"Four." Quatre responded, cleaning up the best he could, moving anything that would be hazardouz to small children. "Plus, number five and six are on the way."
"God." Trowa exclaimed. "Wu man has been busy."
"I never would have thought he'd ever settle with a woman, especially not Sally." Heero added.
"They bring the kids to the see the circus here each year. And every year there's another one or two here or on the way." Quatre informed while pulling the table in the middle of the room out of the way to the adjacent room.
"Little Wu men" Heero smiled. "Who would have thought."
Feet could be heard scamperring up to the door, and then repeated knocking rang through the suite.
Quatre inhaled a deep breath, "Prepare yourselves." Quatre opened the door and two little bolts of lightening shot in while another one lunged themself at Quatre's legs. Quatre picked up the two year old boy.
"Uncle Quta!" he happily shouted.
"Hey, there Seigi, you're getting to be big and strong." Quatre looked to Wufei standing next to Sally who's stomach was standing out even farther then Noins, Noin had also joined them and was holding the youngest, one-year old Chang, Meri. "Come in, come in."
Quatre stepped aside and Sally and Wufei entered taking a seat on a couch of their own, while Noin sat next to Heero with Meri. On Trowa's lap was three year old Yuuki. Her silky black hair has divided into two adorable pig tails and she was tugging at Trowa's hair pulling it out of the way.
"Wheres you other eye, Uncle Twoa?" she asked trying to find it under his fallen hair. Trowa smiled and patted her on the head.
The fourth Chang child was four year old Wufei, the first born and rightfully named after his father. He had found Quatre's sleeping brown and white beagle and was crouching over it. After a small debate, he tugged it's tail, causing it to wake up and run away yelping. He started to chase after it but was interupted by the sound of Sally's voice,
"Wu-chan! Leave the dog alone."
"I'm having fun, onna." he responded innocently.
Sally glared at her husband Wufei as well as everyone else, he was the only person he could have possibly picked it up from. "Wu-chan, how many times do we have to tell you not to say that. I'm mommy, not onna."
"But daddy says it..."
"Daddy doesn't say it to me, does he?" Sally asked elbowing Wufei.
Wufei got the idea, "No Wu-chan, daddy never says that to mommy so don't you say it either."
Liitle Wu-chan knew he had heard his father say onna to his mother before, but he was too young to understand that he meant it teasingly. Feeling he was being lied to, he started to go after the dog yelling, "Injustice! Injustice!"
Everyone started to laugh, even Heero. He'd never met any of Wufei's kids and he'd just received a memory that would last a lifetime. Meri began wriggling in Noin's arms and reaching for Heero.
"I think she wants you to hold her." Noin said smiling.
Heero didn't know what to say. He was the perfect soldier, an assasin, a killer. She was a baby, innocent, fragile. Surely the two did not mix. How could he allow himself to hold something so delicate. He was accustomed to taking lives. Never in his life had he held a baby or allowed himself even near them. He wasn't that kind of person. He was reckless. But before he could respond at all, Noin plopped Meri onto his lap. At first Heero just starred at her not even sure of what to do.
Wufei laughed. He knew what Heero was feeling. When Wu-chan had been born he was scared as hell that he would hurt him. He hadn't had any prior experience with babies himself back then, but now he was an expert.
"You can touch her baka, she doesn't bite and she won't shoot at you either." Wufei knew of Heero's job, but knew it was truly the only thing he could or would do. He was living by his emotions the only thing he knew how to do.
Heero put his hands behind Meri's back so she woldn't fall off his lap. She giggled with pleasure clapped her hands. She was so warm and so happy. She reached up and touched Heero's face, she giggled even more. Heero didn't know what he was feeling. He'd never been in such a situation as this. But then it hit him, he had felt something similar to theis feeling before. The warmness, the kindness, the caringness...the love. It was the same feeling he had received when his angel had enveloped him. He felt at ease holding Meri because she was sweet, affectionate, caring, innocent, and even the thing Heero had never truly experienced in his life...love. Was it possible that Usagi who he might see tonight could make him feel this way as well?

Mamoru approached one of the many bars in the Casino. He'd made sure to arrive early to so he could begin his selection process for the lucky woman that would be spending the night wiht him. 'First target spotted' he thought as he came upon an attractive woman with short brown hair. He ran his fingers through his hair.
"Hey there, can I buy you a drink?" he asked trying to sound suave.
"Sure you can." she responded.
'Yes!' Mamoru thought to himself and orderd the drink. He took a seat next to her, "What kind of beautiful name do you have to match your mezmorizing eyes?"
"Catherine, Caherine Bloom, and you would be?"
"Mamoru Chiba, what a pleasure it is to meet you Catherine."
"The pleasure is all mine."
"I was thinking that a little later me and you could get a room and maybe get to know each other a little better." he said stroking some hair on the side of her face.
Her drink arrived and Catherine picked it up and stood as well. She leaned close to Mamoru's ear. While doing so she poured half the contents into his lap, "There, you've just gotten to know me a little better." she whispered. "Oh, and thanks for the drink." she said sipping the other half of the contents and walking away from him.
Mamoru turned a deep dshade of red as he looked down. He looked like he had pissed himself. He removed his jacket and began to walk to one of the clothe's store that was within the casino. He'd have to quickly buy something, change, and then rush to make his meeting.

Usagi entered the Casino with Haruka and Michiru.
"Thanks a milion guys. I owe you one."
"No problem Usagi." Michiru assured.
"Anytime odango, and don't forget about some private lessons." Haruka winked.
"Ok." Usagi grinned.
Haruka and Michiru turned to go their own way and Usagi heard their fading conversation. "Private lessons?" Michiru asked nudging her. "Are you jealous?" Harku asked puttting her arm around Michiru.
Usagi had never been to the Casino before though she had been wanting to visit it. She was taken in by all the flashing lights and crowds of people. She spotted an elevator. Even it was a great sight to look at. She stepped inside and pressed for level four. When she stepped out all she had to do was follow the melodic sound of singing to find Minako.
****
Mamoru knocked on the door of the private room that was set aside for the business meeting. He staightened out his new clothes one last time. The door was opened by a raven haired woman.
"Please come in Mr. Chiba."
Mamoru entered and took a seat. It was him one on one with this beauty. He knew he'd have to keep it strictly business for more then one reason but couldn't help but look at her long legs, and how the light bounced off her flowing hair as she took a seat across from him at a table. She extended her hand. He shook it gripping her so soft and delicate skin.
"As you know I'll be representing the FujiBanzai Comp." she said in a very business like tone. "My name is Rei Hino"
