Chapter 4 – The Search Begins
Usagi stared in shock at the young man leveling a gun on her, feeling the fingers of fear tightening around her already accelerated heart rate.
"W… who are you?" She stammered, feeling an urge to call for help… to call the only name that passed through her head… Wufei… She was frozen, unable to utter the name… unable to slow her racing heart… unable to defend herself…
"That is of no concern to you." He said in a monotone voice.
"What do you want coward?!?" She demanded, her fear slowly turning into anger.
"For you to die… you're a distraction…" Heero said calmly, showing no emotion at all.
"Well go ahead and get it over with then!!" Usagi shouted, the dark symbol on her forehead appearing. It slowly started to glow a dim purple… illumination the boy that held the gun on her.
"…." Heero pulled back on the trigger, releasing a bullet that headed straight for Usagi's heart… baka onna… He thought as he watched the look of anger on her face fade. A smirk slowly spread across her face as she raised one hand, black energy flickering through her body… her lips turning a deep purple and her hair growing dark and long with horn-shaped odangos on her head.
"It's not going to be that easy to kill me…" She mumbled, her smirk hardening into a scowl.
"Nande kuso?!" Heero nearly dropped the mask that he always wore but instead narrowed his eyes and shot off the entire round… watching as each bullet stopped and fell to the ground.
"Oh Heero… did you really think you could kill me?" She asked, her scowl deepening. "My turn." She said, a smirk spreading across her purple lips. She raised a hand, her fingers pointed to the ceiling and palm facing Heero. Purple energy licked down her arm, forming into a palm in her palm.
"…." Heero dropped his gun and watched, his eyes narrowed in anger that he would be killed by this woman… not on the battlefield as he believed honorable…
"Iie…" Usagi's voice whispered as the black crescent moon flickered for a moment, replaced with a golden one.
"Stop it Selenity!!" The girl shrieked as she dropped the attack, falling to her knees in pain. She clutched her head, trying to clear the soft voice… trying to fight the pure one… the light of hope as she was called.
"Iie… give me back my body!!" Usagi's silvery voice demanded as the golden crescent moon blazed on her forehead, drowning out the dark woman's cries.
"You won't stay in control forever, Selenity…" Her voice faded and Usagi was seen kneeling on the ground, gripping her head with both hands. Heero raised an eyebrow and simply picked up his gun and walked out of the room… he knew the other pilots would be there soon after having heard the shots fired.
"Next time you'll die…" His monotone voice said as he pushed the door shut behind him and disappeared around the corner. Usagi knelt on the floor, images flashing through her mind… that girl… that voice… it was too familiar… where had she heard it before? Where had she seen that mark?
"What is happening to me…" She asked herself, feeling a wave of nausea wash over her. She rushed to the bathroom and leaned over the toilet, all that she had eaten earlier leaving her system. [A.N. In other words, she puked it up]
"Usagi?!?" Quatre's worried voice sounded as he rushed into the room, seeing her kneeling over the toilet. "Usagi… are you all right?" He asked, kneeling at her side. A moment later, Usagi heard a familiar voice from behind.
"What's wrong with you onna?" Wufei asked as he walked into the bathroom, followed by Duo.
"Nothing…" She lied, trying to wave off the next wave of nausea that overcame her.
"We heard gunshots." He said. He walked over beside her and took her hand, helping her to her feet. She leaned heavily against him, letting him support her weakened form.
"I'm all right… it was… just the television…" She said, forcing a smile. "You guys go back to bed, I'll be fine." She said, smiling at Quatre and Duo. For some reason, Wufei didn't believe her… for one thing… there was a small hole in the wall next to the bed and for another… he noticed that the television wasn't plugged in.
"Are you sure you don't want me to call the doctor?" Quatre asked, worry streaking across his face.
"Hai," She answered, giving him a reassuring smile. "I'm all right." She leaned against Wufei and watched as the other two left, closing the door behind them. Wufei led her to the sink and gently took a wash cloth, wiping her face.
"Baka onna…" He muttered. "How did you manage to get so sick?" Usagi forced a smile on her face. "Now everyone's gonna get sick…" He mumbled.
"I'm all right Fei-chan," She said, smiling at him. "I'm just a little tired." After brushing her teeth to get the terrible taste from her mouth, she let Wufei lead her to her bed, pulling the blankets up to her chin.
"…." He watched her as her eyes closed and decided that it would be best if he stayed there for the rest of the night. He wouldn't chance leaving her alone with everything that had happened in the past day.
"You don't have to stay with me Fei-chan…" Usagi mumbled, half asleep. "You should get some sleep too…" Wufei crossed his arms over his chest and sat upright in the armchair beside her bed, his eyes memorizing her every feature. From her pink painted toenails to her pearl pink lips… the peaceful look on her face made his soul calm and he felt a light sigh escape his lungs. He didn't know how she did it, but she seeing her always seemed to make his heart start to beat… even though he didn't want to admit it… He would always protect her… he would do anything in his power to ensure she was safe, to see that she would never have to experience the great sadness she had felt when she first met him…

"Sun, fire, earth…" She chanted, her fingers moving in a rhythmic motion. "I am flame, flame is light… I am fire, fire is sight…" She chanted, the fire blazing brilliantly in front of her as she continued her chant.
"I am Selenity… Daughter of the Moon Goddess…" A voice whispered.
"Tell me…" Rei whispered, her eyes closed as a form appeared in the flames of the warm fire.
"I am something else…" The voice said, sounding different. Rei's eyes flew open as she saw the form of a woman looking very much like there own Princess Selenity. She was wearing a flowing dress that appeared to be in the same style as Princess Selenity's only the color was not distinct. She appeared to have her hair in the same style as Usagi… only different… the odangoes curving upward, looking like horns on her head. The one thing that was very clear to the priestess was a black crescent moon on her forehead with the points to the sky.
"Usagi…" She whispered, her eyes growing large.
"Iie…" The lips of the figure said, curving into a cruel smile. "Rather… a relative of the pure one… a mirror image…"
"Nani? What do you mean?" Rei asked, her eyes growing wide as the flame grew higher, crackling loudly as the figure was engulfed. What did it mean? She asked herself as the flames returned to normal.
****
"And she said Selenity was the 'pure one'?" Minako asked as she sat in the temple with the priestess and her other friends.
"Not exactly… she said she was a relative of the 'pure one'. We can't be sure it was Usagi." Rei said, looking down at the ground. After having experiencing that vision, Rei had called the Inner Senshi for a meeting.
"Who else would it be?" Makoto asked, feeling worried about her odangoed friend. "I mean, Usagi IS Princess Selenity, she has to be the one!"
"How can we be sure though?" Minako asked. "I mean, no one even knows where Usa-chan IS right now…" All four girls looked at the ground, a look of worry on each one's face.
"We can't be sure until we find Usagi," Ami broke in, checking a few things out with her computer. "We have to go to America."
****
"I'll find you odango atama…" Mamoru muttered as he made his way out on the beach. He searched for her life energy but couldn't seem to find it… she had closed him off completely. He knew something big must have happened if he could no longer feel her presence… something bad was going to happen… he could feel it…
"Mamoru!" A voice cried. Mamoru spun around to see the familiar blond hair bouncing toward him. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. "I've been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been?" She demanded, a slight pout on her lips.
"I… I was looking for a friend…" He said, staring out into the ocean. She always did like the ocean… she was here… He thought as he remembered their trips to the beach… hearing her silvery laughter as she splashed him… seeing her familiar smile as he handed her an ice cream cone. To him… she was more like a little sister… he did care about her… demo… it wasn't that kind of love…
"Hello? Mamoru? Are you there?" The familiar voice said in his ear. Mamoru's eyes cleared as he looked down at the girl, realizing that she had so much in common with Usagi… the same happy aura seemed to follow her.
"Gomen, Christine…" He said, wrapping his arm around her waist. "We'd better get going, we don't want to be late."
"All right!" She chirped, wrapping her arm around his waist too as he led her to his car.
****
Usagi's eyes fluttered open as the morning light filtered in through the open window. She felt a light breeze ruffle her hair and sat up, stretching her arms. She glanced at the chair next to her to see a sleeping Wufei, his arms crossed over his chest even in his sleep. She smiled as she gazed on his sleeping form, resisting the urge to wake him up. She swung her feet over the edge of the bed and slowly walked toward him, brushing a few strands of hair from his face that had fallen out of his ponytail. She let her fingers trail down over his cheek, surprised at how soft his skin was under her hand. Her thumb ran gently over his lips as she bent down to kiss him lightly, surprised when she felt him respond. She felt his hands wrap around her waist, one hand rubbing her back gently and the other pushing her hair back from her neck. His lips moved from her lips to her neck as he gently caressed her, sending chills down her spine. Usagi felt him draw her closer, his lips caressing her face… making a slight blush spread across her cheeks.
"Fei-chan…" She whispered, letting her lips be taken once again by his own. His kiss was gentle, not asking to be received, rather accepted… her lips parted slightly and she felt his tongue dart into her mouth, passions she had never felt before arose from within… making her melt into his arms as the kiss continued… She reluctantly broke the kiss, gasping for air. "I…" She started as a blush broke out across her face, staining her cheeks pink.
"Come on onna…" He said, taking her hand. "We have work to do."
"Huh? What do you mean Fei-chan?" Usagi asked, confused as he pulled her out of the room. "Can I get dressed first?" She asked, a rather large sweatdrop appearing on the back of her head as she glanced down at her pink, bunny rabbit pajamas.
****
Looks like I'll have to form another plan… Heero grumbled as he made some adjustments on Wing Zero. She's a lot stronger than I gave her credit for… demo… it was strange… I felt something strange… I'll have to find out who she is before I kill her…
"Hey Hee-man!!" Duo called as he came off the elevator into the hangar. "What's up man?" He asked, sitting on Heero's gundam as he continued to make adjustments.
"Get lost Maxwell…" Heero said in his normal emotionless tone.
"Hey, calm down man!" Duo said, putting his hands up in the air as he saw Heero reach for his gun. "I was just wonderin if you'd seen Wufei's woman." Duo said, his goofy grin on his face.
"hnn.."
"Awe come'on man! She's hot!" Duo said, smiling slyly. "Or are you still lookin at Rileena." Duo said, grinning slyly.
"Omae o koroso…" Heero grunted, pointing his gun at Duo.
"Yikes!" Duo cried as he ducked right before a bullet would have gone straight into his head. "Hey lighten up man! You can never take a joke…" Duo said, a fake pout on his face as he made he way over toward Deathscythe.
That onna is becoming more trouble… Heero thought as a scowl appeared on his face.
"This is a gundam?" He heard a female voice ask from the open elevator.
"Hai, onna." Wufei said, his arms crossed over his chest as he led Usagi to the training room.
"What are we going to do anyway?" Usagi asked, her eyes scanning one suit after the other.
"You need to learn to fight." Wufei said simply. Usagi smiled and pulled out her broach.
"Demo… I already know how to fight-" Usagi said, clutching the broach. Before she could say anything, Wufei sent a fist flying and knocked the broach from her hand. He sent the other fist flying straight for her face, stopping inches before it plowed into her angelic features. The look of shock on her face brought a smirk to Wufei's lips.
"I'm going to teach you hand-to-hand combat." Wufei said simply.
"Demo… I don't think I can-" She was cut off as his fist hurtled toward her face again. Only this time, she managed to duck before his fist connected. She wasn't fast enough to miss the other fist that he buried in her stomach. She slumped to the ground, gasping for air.
"See, you're learning. I only hit you with one hand that time." Wufei said calmly.
"Demo…" She said, cringing in pain as she forced herself to her feet. "Can't you go easy on me for a while?" Usagi asked, forcing back the tears she so desperately wanted to shed.
"Iie… holding back is for the weak…" He commented, letting his fist fly once again. Usagi dodged his first punch and his second and managed to dig her fist into his stomach. He took a step back, rubbing his stomach. "That wasn't much of a punch onna. Now, hit me!" He said, lunging at her.

"How are we going to pay for these tickets?" Rei asked as they ordered their plane tickets for later that evening.
"I told you, I'll be able to loan you guys the money until you can get it together." Minako said, smiling at the group of girls.
"Demo, Mina-chan, you can't afford that." Makoto argued.
"Iie, I insist, I just got a huge paycheck for my latest show." Minako said, smiling at her friends.
"You're getting popular ne?" Rei asked, happy for her friend.
"Hai, people really seem to like me." She said, smiling happily. "Don't worry about the money, Rei-chan, I know it's hard with your grandfather sick and stuff… at least Yuuichirou can manage the temple while we're gone."
"Hai, that's true… I feel bad leaving grandpa though." Rei said, sighing.
"Rei-chan, Usagi-chan's safety is more important…" Ami said, slowly. "I mean, our future depends on her, we have to protect her, it's our duty."
"Hai, you're right Ami-chan," Rei said, forcing a smile. "We'd better start packing if we want to get to the airport one time."
****
"Late last night there was another surprise attack on a SSU base… There were numerous casualties and the base was a complete lose… we believe it to be the work of the former Gundam pilots…" The television blared on, but Mamoru wasn't really watching it. He had to find Usagi some time soon… he knew something was wrong and he had to find out what.
"There you are odango…" Mamoru said, a smirk crossing his lips. He would still have his throne… he would take his princess back… he would protect her and make her his for all times…
****
"No fair Fei-chan!!" Usagi wailed as she toppled over, falling onto her already sore butt. "That was a cheap shot!"
"Who said that an enemy would be fair in a battle." Wufei said calmly. Usagi glared at him and climbed to her feet, completely oblivious to the fact that they had been training for sixteen hours straight and she was covered in various scrapes and bruises as well as other abrasions.
"I know, but I'm new at this!" Usagi whined.
"Stop your whining onna…" Wufei said, throwing another punch that she managed to dodge. "And FIGHT!!" He said, sending his other fist flying. Usagi blocked his punch, noticing the kick he was preparing to give her. She ducked down and his foot swung over her head, throwing him slightly off balance. She took this opportunity and threw a rather hard punch, catching him right in the gut. He shrugged it off and prepared to attack again… a moment later, though, he found himself on the ground, a weight on his chest and a fist inches from his face. Usagi glared down at him, breathing heavily. "Not bad…"
"Honto?" She asked, smiling.
"For an onna…" He commented as she reached a hand down toward him. He took her hand and she shoved him to the ground, sitting on his chest.
"Onna?!?" She shrieked, a playful smile on her face. He rolled over, straddling her, pinning her hands to the floor next to her head. She struggled under his weight, giggling as she attempted to push him off. She noticed a slight smile on his face and a fake pout touched her lips. "Be nice Fei-chan." She whined. He snickered to himself, a sly smile spreading across his lips.
"Now why would I do that?" He asked before his lips covered hers in his gentle embrace. She responded, kissing back gently as her fingers wove into his thick tresses of hair, which had come down from his normal ponytail. His arms went under her shoulders as he lifted her body to meet his, feeling her heartbeat against his own. The kiss ending, both people reluctantly pulling away, not really wanting it to end. As they pulled apart, mysterious black eyes met crystal blue… secrets being shared between the two without any words being spoken… without any movements being made. His gaze softened as he stared into and endless sea of blue… sparkling as they fell upon his own mysterious eyes… eyes full of mystery and hidden sorrow.
"Look at the lovebirds!!" Duo's voice could be heard as he peeked his head in the door.
"MAXWELL!!!" Wufei shouted as he rushed out after the braided pilot. "OMAE O KOROSO!!!"
"Fei-chan!" Usagi shouted, running after him. "Don't hurt him too bad!!" She cried, chasing after the American and Chinese pilots.
****
"Hmm… so this is where you are, Usagi…" Mamoru commented as he pulled his car up to the gate of the Winner mansion. "It's time to come home, Selenity-hime…" He said to himself as he rang the buzzer.
"May I help you?" A voice asked from the intercom.
"Hai, I'm looking for Mr. Winner." Mamoru said calmly into the box.
"I'm sorry demo, Mr. Winner is at an important meeting at the moment." The voice said simply.
"It is an emergency sir. I'm here to discuss the peace proposal between our colony and Mr. Winner's." Mamoru lied, impatience apparent in his voice. There was silence on the other end for a moment and the voice continued.
"Mr. Winner will see you sir." The voice said as the gates slowly opened, closing behind his vehicle.
****
"Please no!!" Duo shrieked as Wufei held the katana to Duo's braid, growing closer by each passing second.
"Fei-chan!" Usagi scolded. "Leave Duo-kun alone!!" She said, putting her hands on her hips. Wufei glared at Duo but obliged.
"… baka onna…" Wufei grumbled as he headed back for the training room. "Come on." He said, heading for the room. Usagi shrugged her shoulders and turned around to glare at Duo.
"You owe me big!" She said, running after Wufei. Duo let out a sigh of relief and let his back slide down the wall until he was sitting on the floor.
"Why me?" He asked, throwing his hands up in defeat.
****
"How may I help you Mr. Chiba?" Quatre asked as he sat down in his office with a cup of tea, handing another cup to Mamoru.
"I'm looking for someone…" Mamoru said simply, taking a sip from his tea.
"I thought you were here to discuss a peace proposal?" Quatre said, a hint of confusion on his face.
"Iie, I needed a way to get in here so I could find her." Mamoru said simply.
"Find her?" Quatre questioned.
"Hai… I know she's here." Mamoru said, sipping his tea.
"Umm… you know who's here?" Quatre asked.
"The princess…"
"The princess?" Quatre asked, raising an eyebrow. "Iie, she's in outer space right now having peaceful talks with the leaders of the colonies."
"Iie, not that princess. Princess Selenity is of much greater importance than that baka Princess Rileena," Mamoru said, smirking slightly. "So… where is my fiancée?" He asked, setting the cup down as a rose appeared in his hand.
"Your… fiancée?" Quatre questioned. Was he really talking about Usagi? "I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about. If you'd excuse me, I have more important things to do. Rashid will let you out." Quatre said, rising from his seat. A low chuckle escaped from Mamoru as he rose to his feet.
"Gomen, demo if this is the only way, I guess I have no choice." Mamoru said, throwing the rose at Quatre. Quatre tried to dodge it but was unable to. It sank into the soft flesh of his shoulder, the tip burrowing deeply into his skin. He felt the blood trickle down his hand and winced in pain as he tried to pull it out.
"Who are you?" Quatre demanded as the red rose slowly began to fade to black, releasing a poison into Quatre's body.
"I think you know who I am, boy." Mamoru commented as his outfit melted into his Prince Endymion form. Quatre slumped forward, staggering as he tried to force his feet to move toward the door. One step… another… another… Quatre's eyes went out of focus and he slumped to the ground, his hand still on his bleeding shoulder.
"Gomen, Usagi…" Quatre whispered before losing consciousness.
****
"Was that better?" Usagi asked as she threw a punch aimed for his face. He reacted quickly and set her sprawling out on the floor.
"Iie." Wufei said with a smirk.
"I'm never going to get this." Usagi said sighing. She tiredly climbed to her feet, barely able to keep her eyes open.
"I think you've had enough for one day onna." Wufei commented, walking over to her. He slipped an arm around her waist, placing her arm around his shoulders, supporting her whole weight.
"I can go for a little while longer." Usagi protested, her eyelids drooping.
"Baka onna, you can barely stand. You're going to go to bed." Wufei said firmly. Usagi didn't protest, letting her head lean against his shoulder.
"I'll take her." A voice said from behind as Wufei and Usagi stepped off of the elevator.
"Nani?! Who the hell are you!!" Wufei demanded, glaring at the man with dark hair that stood behind him, wearing some really weird outfit with a cape.
"Mamo-chan…" Usagi whispered, her eyes starting to fill with tears.
"Chan?" Wufei questioned, glaring at the man that stood before him.
"Give me my fiancee and I'll give you back your friend." Endymion said simply as Quatre's unconscious form appeared next to him.
"Quatre!" Usagi cried, pulling away from Wufei. "Let him go Endymion!!" She spat, her eyes narrowed in anger.
"Oh Selenity… if only you'd stayed in Japan… then I wouldn't have to be doing this, I do care about you after all," Endymion said simply. "You must fulfill your destiny, Selenity-hime. Face it, you belong to me… you have for a thousand years. It's a shame that you came to America and saw what you saw, I promise you though, if you come back to me now, I'll leave these people alone. They don't have to get hurt if you just come along, Usako."
"…." Usagi's eyes narrowed as she heard the name. "I told you to never call me Usako again…" She growled, the symbol on her forehead flickering into view. The black crescent moon that represented everything Usagi hated.
"Usagi…" Wufei whispered as he watched her form curiously. He saw the mark on her forehead and watched as purple ribbons surrounded her body, forming a long black dress with things that looked like shells on her shoulders and silver embroidered on the top. [A.N. all the parts that are gold on Princess Selenity's dress are silver on the 'evil entities]. Her long golden blond hair slowly turned raven-black and her odangos curved up into horns.
"Let Quatre go and I won't kill you." Usagi said in a menacing voice. She saw the look of shock on Endymion's face as he watched her transformation for the second time.
"You couldn't kill me…" He said simply, his eyes narrowed. "So tell me, if you are part of Selenity, you must have a name right?" Endymion asked, taking his sword out of its shieth.
"Hai, I too have a name, Endymion," She said, a smirk crossing her purple lips, her eyes flickering with the pain she intended to inflict on Endymion in the moments to come. "Just call me… Miyana…"
