The Truest Love
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing, please don't sue me.
Note: Due to the UNBELIEVABLE response to this ficcy, I'm posting the next chapter ALREADY!! Anyway, this is all the farther I've gotten so far so you'll have to wait at least a few days for the next chapter *giggles* I started to form the plot here and also, left another meanie cliffhanger *evil smirk* Do you know what I realized? I rarely get any help with ideas for my fics… *looks depressed* How is it that I'm the ONLY person that isn't thanking her imouto's and neechan's for helping her with ideas? *sighs* Perhaps because she only has a few imouto's and one neechan… *pouts slightly* Anyway, I'm going to thank Menz-imouto just for being a great friend and one of the sweetest girls I know *giggles* And I want to thank StAr-imouto too and Nozi-imouto cuz they're all such sweeties *giggles* *is having fun* And MK-imouto too, and Eternal-neechan *waves to everyone* Of course there's Lady Allure-chan and Himiko-chan too, my wonderful pre-readers (kinda, I sent it to them to see how they liked it). Oh… and even though he doesn't read SM/GW crossovers, I want to say hi to one of my best buds Chibi Majin Vegeta (check out some of his work, it's really funny. Especially his and my mini-crossover story we wrote while chatting bout ChibiUsagi/Usagi and Chibi Majin Vegeta. Make sure you read his story bout Vegeta, it's HILARIOUS). Anywho… on with the story *giggles* That was really fun^_^ *isn't in such a foul mood anymore*
Chapter 2 – Evil From Within…
"Hai, he'll be able to take care of himself." Quatre reassured her. She gently pulled away from him, looking into his crystal blue eyes.
"I'm not going with you." She said simply, shaking her head 'no'.
"Miss Usagi, please-" He was cut off roughly by Usagi.
"Iie!!" She cried. "I'm not going anywhere without Wufei!!"
"Please Miss Usagi, I told him I'd make sure you get there." Quatre said, trying to calm Usagi down.
"IIE!!" She snapped as she stood and ran after Wufei. She found him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Usagi, I told you to go with him!" Wufei snapped, an edge to his voice.
"Iie, I won't leave without you!" Usagi said, through her tears. "I'm afraid to be alone… Mamoru will come after me, I know he will…" Wufei stopped and turned to the crying girl, showing no emotion.
"It's too dangerous for an onna." He commented. He saw the expression on her face change and her eyes narrowed.
"I can fight." She stated. She reached her hand into her pocket, feeling the broach. I don't want to do it… but I don't want to be alone. She thought as her fingers closed around the broach.
"Iie, you're not going." Wufei said, pushing her away again.
"Get over it! I'm not a weak onna!! I can fight, I've given my life so many times but I've managed to come back!! I've survived when all the odds were against me!!" She cried, feeling the anger run through her veins.
"What are you talking about onna?" Wufei demanded, turning back to her.
"I can help! I want to help!" She cried, a heart-shaped broach appearing in mid-air.
"Nande kuso?!" Wufei cried, slightly shocked. "How did you do that?!?" A weak smile appeared on Usagi's lips.
"It's kinda… a long story…" She said, not elaborating. Why did I do that? She asked herself. I shouldn't have revealed myself to him… But… the way he acts, I don't think he's realized it yet… He stood there, his arms crossed over his chest, waiting to hear her explanation. She sighed heavily and hung her head. "I can't tell it here, there's too many people, my life would be in danger if 'they' found out who I am." He raised an eyebrow and obliged. Who is she? Wufei thought, feeling a tinge of anger. Why didn't she say anything before?!? His thoughts continued. Why do I care? I don't care…
"Wufei! Gomen, she ran away from me." Quatre said, his cheeks slightly pink. Wufei moved his glare from Usagi to Quatre.
"Come on." He said, taking her hand and pulling her behind him. Quatre took up the rear, telling them to have Usagi's clothes delivered to his mansion.
****
"So, who are you really?" Wufei asked, sitting with his arms crossed and eyes closed. They had all come out to Quatre's limo and were heading for his mansion that was acting as a head quarters for them. Wufei decided that he would go pick up his gundam a little later, after he heard a good reason to let Usagi help. Usagi's eyes cast to the floor as she clutched the broach tighter.
"I can't really explain it without showing you, you wouldn't believe me otherwise." She started.
"Show me then." He said coolly. She nodded her head in agreement and closed her eyes, clutching the broach tightly.
"Moon Eternal Make-Up." She said in a normal voice. She didn't spin around for the transformation, merely sat still while the pink ribbons settled into her fuku.
"NANI!?!?" Came the cry from Quatre. "You're Sailor Moon?!?"
"Actually, I'm not Sailor Moon anymore, I left the Senshi and my fiancé." Usagi commented sadly.
"Fiancé…" Wufei muttered in a low voice. He's the one that made her cry… he'll pay for that!! He thought, his eyes narrowing. What do I care? I DON'T care about her… His inner conflict was beginning to get the better of him, but he refused to lose. He refused to appear weak in her eyes. He would not allow that.
"Hai, we were engaged to be married in two years, but…" Her voice trailed off and there was a definite tone of sadness in her voice. "Gomen…" She whispered, forcing a smile to her lips. "I should probably start at the beginning ne?" Quatre shook his head yes, looking very confused.
"Well it all started over one thousand years ago…" She told them the story of the Moon Kingdom and the Silver Millennium up until the point where she walked into Mamoru's apartment [A.N. they were pretty far from Quatre's mansion when she told the story.]
"That's all true?" Quatre asked, his eyes wide in shock.
"Hai, it's true…" She said, forcing a smile to her lips. "I want to help you guys!" She blurted out.
"Iie." Wufei said, shaking his head.
"Look Wufei, I've been fighting for a long time now, I can handle this! I've given my life before, this should be easy for me!" Usagi shouted, as they walked toward a huge mansion. "Nani? You live here Quatre-san?!"
"Hai, just call me Quatre." Quatre said, smiling as he walked toward the huge doors.
"This place is bigger than Haruka and Michiru's." She commented more to herself than to anyone else.
"You like it?" Quatre asked coming up behind Usagi.
"Hai, it's huge, how can you remember where everything is? I'm going to get lost, I know it." She said, sighing.
"I'm going to get Nataku." Wufei commented as he walked toward the door.
"Matte! Wufei-chan, please don't leave me alone!" She cried, a frantic look on her face. She grabbed his arm and looked up at him with pleading eyes. He couldn't say 'no' to those eyes, those expressive eyes that penetrated deep into his soul in ways he couldn't even describe.
"Usagi, would you like to get something to eat while he's gone?" Quatre asked, looking at her with those warm, inviting eyes of his. Usagi looked at him and a weak smile forced its way to her lips.
"You better be fast Fei-chan." She said sternly, kissing his cheek quickly before he left. She watched the door for a few minutes until Quatre's voice broke into her thoughts again.
"Usagi, the kitchen's this way." He said, peeking his head around the corner. She felt a slight blush touch her cheeks and followed him into the kitchen. Her eyes fell onto the refrigerator and bulged out of her head. Instead of seeing a normal fridge, it was a HUGE walk-in fridge.
"Wow…" She whispered as she followed him into it.
"Hmm… we have about anything you could want in here," Quatre commented, putting his chin in his hand. "Help yourself."
"Arigato Quatre-kun!" Usagi cried as she grabbed a few things off the overstocked shelves. She came out and began to cook, hoping she wouldn't burn anything.
"Here Usagi, let me get that." Quatre said, taking the pan from her. A few minutes later, he handed her the pan and told her it was done.
"Arigato Quatre-kun. I'm not exactly the best cook in the world." She said, a rather large sweatdrop appearing on the back on her head.
"It was nothing Usagi," Quatre said smiling at her. "Would you like me to show you to your room?"
"Hai," Usagi said yawning. "But please, don't get me lost." She said, looking a little nervous. She was getting a strange feeling, like there was something out there watching her. It gave her the creeps.
"Don't worry Usagi, you'll get used to all the hallways pretty soon." He said with a laugh. He led her through a few hallways. She watched the walls as she walked, memorizing the many pictures that hung on the walls. She recognized the pictures of Quatre, there were a few where he was with a man with brown hair that she assumed was his father. As they continued to walk, there were pictures of a bunch of young women, a name printed in gold on the bottom of the picture frame. She started to keep count of the many pictures that hung on the wall, counting 25… 26… "Itai!" She cried as she ran into Quatre and fell to the floor hard.
"Are you all right?" Quatre asked, dropping to her side immediately.
"Hai…" She said, rubbing her sore butt. "I wasn't paying attention, gomen." She said, turning her eyes away.
"It's all right Usagi, this is your room." He said, pushing the large door open. Usagi looked into the room, seeing that it was decorated rather simple. There was a large four-poster bed in the center with large oak dressers with fancy carvings in them and simply white chiffon curtains.
"Doomo arigato…" She said, hugging Quatre. "You've been so kind to me," She said smiling. "Do you think you can tell Wufei where I am when he gets back? I don't think I'll be able to find my way back through all these hallways."
"Of course I will, Usagi." He said, smiling. He turned around and started to close the door when Usagi stopped him.
"Oh yeah, Quatre-kun," She started. He turned to face her, question in his eyes. "Can I ask you something?"
"Hai, of course Usagi. What is it?" He asked.
"I was just wondering who all of those girls hanging on the walls are?" Usagi questioned.
"Huh? Girls?" He turned to look at the walls startled. Usagi was greeted by a gentle sound that sounded like laughter. Quatre turned back to Usagi, chuckling lightly. "Those are all of my sisters, Usagi." He explained, still laughing.
"All of them?" She asked, shock on her face.
"Hai, but actually, there are a few more down the hallway. I have 29 sisters in all." Quatre said still chuckling lightly.
"Wow, that's a lot of siblings." Usagi commented.
"Anyway, I'll let Wufei know where you are when he returns ok?" He asked, getting ready to close the door.
"Hai Quatre-kun." She said, letting him close the door. After the door closed, Usagi threw herself facedown on the bed. "Wufei…" She whispered, remembering those mysterious eyes of his. He's a gundam pilot… She thought, a single tear falling from her eye. My father was killed by a gundam pilot… She thought as she began to sob, her tears moistening the blanket.

Why do I feel so strange when I'm around that onna?!? He asked himself, his arms crossed over his chest. He couldn't get her out of his head. Her soft touch… her pale skin… those expressive eyes of hers… that heartwarming smile… the softness of her lips…
"Baka…" He muttered, his arms crossed over his chest. He was sitting on the ferry again, staring out at the ocean. She's perfect… He thought, not even realizing that he had thought that. Iie!! I refuse to think these things! That onna means absolutely nothing to me!!! His mind screamed, but his heart screamed something else, blocking out the voice of his mind. He tipped his head back and felt the soft breeze touch his face. He breathed in the salt sea air and sighed quietly. Baka onna… He thought. Why do you make me feel like this?
Wufei stepped into the underground base, making sure that he hadn't been followed. He walked in and flipped a switch on the wall, seeing a lone suit standing in the corner. The room was thick with cobwebs and there was a layer of dust covering everything.
"It's been a while Nataku…" He mumbled, looking up with a smirk at his mobile suit. "But I have come to ask for your help again."
****
"Outa my way!!" Duo shouted, his eyebrows creased in rage. He made a quick sweep of his scythe, destroying the three mobile dolls that were closest to him. "Man I hate fighting dolls!" He shouted, making another sweep with his scythe.
"Just destroy the base already." Heero's voice came over the comm. unit.
"Hai Heero!" Duo said, flying Deathscythe into the base. He jumped out and headed for the suit manufacturing plant, killing a few unsuspecting soldiers along the way. After planting a few charges, he hurried back to Deathscythe, holding the detonation button in his hand. "Better stand back Heero!" Duo shouted as he flew out of the hangar, pushing the button as he became clear of the area. Duo stood back with his normal grin as fire spouted from the roof and soon, the whole building structure was engulfed in flames.
"I've just received a message from Quatre." Heero said on the comm. unit as the two gundams flew away from the destroyed base.
"Yeah? And?" Duo asked, having his normal carefree look on his face.
"He says he found Wufei." Heero said in his normal emotionless tone.
"Honto? Well, I guess we better stop and say hi, ne?" Duo asked, giving Heero his goofy grin on visual comm.
"…."

Usagi woke with a start. Something wasn't right. There was something coming… something powerful. She put her hands over her chest as pain ripped through her body.
"What's going on?!?" She cried, cringing in pain. "What is this that I'm sensing?!?" She demanded, knowing that she would receive no answer.
"Usagi?!?" Came a startled voice from outside of the door. The door burst open and a very concerned Quatre ran into the room, rushing to her side. Her whole body seemed to be glowing and she looked like she was in pain. "Usagi! What's wrong?!?" He demanded, running to her side.
"I… I don't know… it hurts… make it stop…" She begged, feeling the painful tears sliding down her cheeks. "Make the pain stop…" She whispered again before losing consciousness.
"Nani?!? Usagi!!!" Quatre shouted, picking the pale girl up in his arms. He grabbed her wrist, searching for a pulse… he sighed as he felt a very faint one. Quatre sighed and decided that she was all right for now. He'd keep an eye on her and if anything else happened, he'd call an ambulance.
****
"Hey Quatre!" A voice called into the mansion. "Where are you man?" The braided boy walked into the huge mansion and plopped down on the couch, putting his hands behind his head. "Where is everyone?"
"Duo?" A voice questioned.
"Hai, that's my name." He said, not turning to face the voice. He peeked an eye open and saw the platinum blond sit down next to him, looking slightly distressed. "What's wrong Quat-man?" Duo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing…" Quatre said, not meeting Duo's look.
"I can see nothing's wrong," Duo commented dryly. "Where's Wufei? I thought you found him today."
"Hai, he went to go get Nataku." Quatre said simply.
"So… what's that look for?" Duo asked, referring to the fact that Quatre looked worried.
"It's Usagi…" He said, not elaborating.
"Usagi? Who's she?" Duo asked, a spark on interest in his eyes.
"Wufei's friend." Quatre said, turning a light shade of pink.
"Wu-man's got a girl friend?!?!" Duo demanded, shock written across his face. This caused an even deeper blush to touch Quatre's cheeks before Duo's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he fainted.
"Who would have thought Wufei would have proven himself so weak…" Heero commented, walking into the room, his arms crossed over his chest. She's the reason we haven't seen Wufei in a year ne? I'll have to pay her a little visit…
****
Usagi lay sleeping in bed, a strange dream tearing at her senses. Usagi…A voice whispered quietly.
"Who's there?" Usagi asked, searching the inky blackness that surrounded her for the source of the voice. "What do you want?" She demanded, feeling fear clutch her whole being. I am here as a warning to you… do not let the dark one find you…
"The dark one?" Usagi questioned, confusion running through her head. "What do you mean by that?"
I can tell you no more… just stay away from the dark one… you will not survive an encounter with him… The voice continued before fading away completely.
"Matte!! Come back!! I don't understand!!" She called, running through the void of nothingness. "Please come back…" She whispered, falling to her knees. She slammed her fists on the ground in frustration. "Why can't you damned voices ever tell me anything useful?!?! Why can't you get straight to the point instead of making me so damn paranoid?!?!?" She shrieked, anger filling her normally beautiful facial features.
"Usako…" A voice whispered behind her as he sobs filled the air. Her head flew up and her mouth dropped.
"Mamo-chan…" She whispered, recognizing the voice instantly. She rose to her feet, not turning to face the source of the voice.
"Usako, I'm missed you, my love." His voice continued. He didn't see her eyes narrow in hurt and rage, nor did he see that black crescent moon that flashed on her forehead.
"Well, Mamo-chan…" She said, her voice having a hard edge to it. "I haven't missed you… I haven't missed your lies and your broken promises… I haven't missed you 'Ai shiterus' that you never meant… I have been more happy that you are out of my life…" She whispered, her voice changing.
"Usako? What's wrong?" Mamoru asked, seemingly confused. She spun around to face him, her eyes narrowed on him. Instead of the normal yellow crescent moon on her forehead, there was a black one, glowing purple in the dim light.
"I am not your Usako anymore…" She whispered, tears of pain and anguish streaming down her face. "I won't let you hurt me anymore… I won't believe anything you tell me anymore… Do you think I'm dumb? Do you think that I didn't see what you did?" Mamoru paled slightly at her words.
"What are you talking about Usak-" He started but was cut off by her.
"Don't EVER call my Usako again!!!" She shrieked. "Usagi is gone…"
Usagi's head flew up from the pillow, her body bathed in a cold sweat.
"Mamoru…" She whispered, the dream still playing in her head. "What's going on?" She asked herself in a whisper. "I feel so strange…" She whispered as she got up and walked into the attached bathroom. She turned on the cold water and washed her face, glancing up in the mirror. She gasped as she saw it…
