Chapter 24 - Cosmic Warrior
"Nani?" Quatre said seeing the man with white-blond hair standing outside the door.
"Quatre Raberba Winner..." Zechs said to himself standing at the door in front of the astonished platinum blond.
"Why have you come here?" Quatre asked, trying to get over his astonishment. It had been a long time since anyone had heard from him and Quatre was taken aback that Zechs would show up on HIS doorstep.
"I've been searching for one `Sailor Moon'." Zechs said calmly.
"Sailor Moon?" Quatre asked slightly surprised. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows she's gone." Quatre argued.
"I know Usagi is the one I search for." Zechs said calmly.
"Usagi?" Quatre questioned, raising an eyebrow as if he had no clue who this `Usagi' person was. "You're mistaken, there's no one named Usagi here."
"Quatre-chan?" Came a small voice from behind.
"Hai Sakura-chan?" Quatre called, turning his attention to the cherry-petal pink hair that stood behind him. Zechs still stood in the door, silent and still as always.
"Usagi said she's hungry." Sakura said, smiling at the blond figure before her. The form of her father from the past.
"You don't know anyone named Usagi ne?" Zechs asked raising an eyebrow. Quatre sighed in defeat and motioned for Zechs to follow him.
"Sir, could you ask the cooks to prepare something for Usagi?" Quatre asked, turning to the butler.
"Hai, Master Quatre." The butler said before heading in the direction of the kitchen.
"Now, Zechs... Why are you so anxious to see Usagi?" Quatre asked, giving the man a suspicious look.
"...."
"Quatre? Who's this mean man?" Sakura asked as she pulled on Quatre's pant leg.
"Sakura-chan," Quatre said, giving the child a stern look. "That wasn't a nice thing to say. You should apologize to Mr. Marquise, it's not ladylike for a princess to insult a guest." Sakura blushed slightly and looked down at the floor.
"Gomen nasai Mr. Marquise." Sakura said an embarrassed look gracing her childish features. Zechs nodded, accepting the apology of the child. He looked the little girl over once before turning his eyes to Quatre. He had a good idea of Quatre's relation with the pink-haired child; she had a striking resemblance to both Quatre and Usagi.
"Sakura-chan, why don't you go keep Usagi company while I speak with Mr. Marquise all right?" Quatre asked, smiling at the child. She smiled back and nodded her head before running in the direction of the bedroom.
"I'll tell Usagi-chan that you'll come see her in a few minutes all right?" Sakura asked as she turned back toward Quatre for a moment. He nodded and watched as she turned around and began to run at top speed down the slippery hallways.
"Careful Sakura-chan! They just waxed the floors!" Quatre called after her. As if on cue, the girl skidded across the floor and landed in a heap against the wall.
"Itai!" She cried as she stood up, rubbing her rear end that she had fallen on. " Why didn't you tell me sooner Quatre-chan?" Sakura whined as she began to walk away once again. Quatre couldn't help but laugh; the child was just so adorable.
"Quatre." An insistent voice said from behind him, grabbing the younger boy's attention.
"Gomen, follow me." Quatre said as he walked toward his office. He pushed the door open and the two of them walked through and sat down at the desk.
"Have you figured out why I'm here yet?" Zechs asked calmly as he sat in the chair and pushed his long hair behind his shoulder.
"Iie, why have you come?" Quatre asked, slightly worried. "And how do you know Usagi?" Quatre asked, suspicion written on his face. A smirk broke across Zechs's face and he leaned slightly forward.
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet Winner. You're supposed to be the brains right?" Zechs asked, still smirking to himself as he leaned back in his seat.
"Please, stop with the jokes and riddles, just give me some answers." Quatre said, rubbing his temples slightly. He was starting to get a migraine over the stress of everything that had happened recently.
"I came here to protect her." Zechs stated simply.
"Protect her?" Quatre questioned, not really knowing what the older man meant.
"Hai, protect her like I used to." Zechs finished.
"Nani? When did you protect her?" Quatre asked, confusion written across his pale face.
"It was a long time ago that I just recently remembered. Demo, it was something I wasn't supposed to remember at all." Zechs continued as if he were talking to himself. "I was one of her protectors back in the time of the Silver Millennium."
"Nani? You're not lying?" Quatre demanded as he rose to his feet, both hands on the desk in front of him. Zechs just chuckled lightly and nodded his head. "Demo, why didn't she mention you?" Quatre asked again, trying to figure a few things out in his own head.
"She doesn't remember." He stated simply, shrugging his shoulders. Quatre nodded his head and stood up to go find Usagi.
"All right, you may stay here. Please, don't go see Usagi until I tell her of your arrival though." Quatre said simply. Zechs nodded and Quatre left the room, heading for the blond angel's room that had stolen his heart from his very chest.

"Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried as she came running into the room. She bounded in happily and jumped up onto the bed beside Usagi. Usagi started to giggle and sat up to tickle the girl. "Iie! Stop Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried as she wiggled, trying to get away from Usagi's tickling fingers.
"It's very rude to jump up and wake someone up like that Sakura-chan!" Usagi said as she tickled the young girl, laughing the whole while. "You're gonna pay for it! In the name of the moon, I'll tickle you until you learn your lesson!" Usagi said as she kept tickling the pink-haired child.
"Iie! I can't breathe Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried between her wiggles whenever she had air in her lungs to speak. Usagi giggled and stopped, pulling the girl into a hug while rubbing her head with her knuckles lightly. Usagi finally let the girl go and laid back into the cushion of the pillows and the pink comforters that were wrapped around her.
"Gomen Sakura-chan, I'm just so tired..." She whispered as she lay back in the comforters. Sakura had a look of worry mixed with sorrow as she curled up next to Usagi and lay her head on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi glanced down at the child and watched as the huge blue eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep. I guess she was more tired than she was letting on. Usagi thought as a smile crossed her lips. She probably hasn't been able to sleep... I'm sure she misses her parents like crazy.
"Usa-chan?" A familiar voice came from the doorway. Usagi turned to see the small form of Quatre enter with a tray in his hands. He set the tray on the nightstand beside her and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Quat-chan." She breathed as she felt the depression of the bed when he sat. She looked up and met his aqua-blue eyes and a huge smile broke out across her face. He brushed a few strands of loose hair from her face and leaned down toward her. Their lips met in a light kiss and she giggled quietly as his bangs tickled her face. "Dai suki!" Usagi cried as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down toward him. She kissed him on the cheek and gently nudged Sakura over as she pulled Quatre onto the bed beside her. Quatre reached over Usagi gently and placed the young child between them, wrapping his arm around Usagi and Sakura.
"Ai shiteru, Usa-chan." Quatre said quietly as he leaned toward her and captured her lips with his own, seeking out her tongue with his own. She willingly let his tongue into her mouth to explore and responded with the same willingness. They heard a light giggle and looked down to see Sakura watching them. Both broke out into a blazing blush.
"You love Chi-chi, ne Ha-ha?" Sakura asked, prompting and even deeper blush on the two of them.
"Hai, musume-chan." Usagi said, following Sakura's example with the names. She kissed Sakura on the forehead and watched as the child's eyes closed again and she fell back to sleep. Usagi cuddled closer to the two of them and soon found she nodding off as well. She peeked one eye open and saw that Quatre was already fast asleep and smiling, let herself fall into the dark pleasure of sleep.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
A figure watched as the happy family lay cuddling on the pink blankets in Usagi's room. A smirk spread across a dark face as the eyes gleamed in the darkness.
"Sleep now Princess, you won't have much of a chance later on." The low inaudible voice whispered before the figure receded back into the darkness of one of the many corridors that were rarely used in the Winner household.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"Looks like my plan is going perfectly." Miyana said as she looked over her new warriors. They were all lined up in a row, each one waiting their turn for her 'treatment'. It wasn't going too well, she was still working on converting Trowa. He was refusing to submit to her, he refused to obey her. That would soon come to an end. Once the memory of that little princess from that Pacifist country had been wiped from his mind, he would be her slave.
"What do you want psycho!?!" Duo demanded, not using the three-letter-words he had used earlier that day. "Let Trowa go!" He commanded pulling against the bands that pinned him tightly to the wall. He had been there unconscious for about and hour or two but he was severely pissed now. Not only did he have a throbbing headache, but also this psycho lady was messing with his friend.
Miyana smirked to herself as she turned to face a fuming Duo. She chuckled lightly to herself and walked toward the braided pilot. She stopped in front of him and brought her hand back, slapping him sharply across the face.
"You had better watch what you say, Duo-chan." She said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "You just might end up like him." She said, smirking as she pointed to the limp form that someone had just thrown at his feet. It looked like the person's outfit had once been white but was now stained crimson red with something that looked like blood.
"Wufei?" Duo questioned, his eyes widening in shock as he saw the ebony black hair that hung loose around a pale and drawn face.
"He just didn't come along nice and easy. He decided he was going to fight, demo, we showed him ne?" The woman asked as she turned to face the person that had brought Wufei in. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips firmly against his. The light was too dim, though, for Duo to make out the face of the man.
"What do you want, kisama!" He spat in disgust as he felt an uncontrollable urge to hurt someone, namely her.
"That's it, get mad. Then it will be much easier for me to convert you to be my slave." She said as she smirked and walked over to him. She put her face an inch in front of his and smirked deeply, her purple lips curved upward and her hideous laugh filled the air. Duo cringed slightly at the sound, though not too much for her to notice. "You are so kawaii Duo-chan." She said as she mocked Usagi. Then she drew closer to him and grabbed her chin, letting her black nails sink into the soft flesh of his cheeks. She smirked once again and brought her lips to his, kissing him deeply. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and searched its contours, mostly to piss him off. As she was about to break away, though, she bit down on his lip until she the bitter taste of blood filled her mouth.
"Kisama!" Duo spat as blood trickled down his cheek. Had he been able to move, even if she was a girl, he would have killed her.
"So, shall we move on to phase two of the plan?" Miyana asked the figure in the shadows. A low familiar chuckle came from the man in the shadows and Duo though he saw the glimmer of metal in the shadows. A gun? He said in his thoughts, confusion dragging its way through his thoughts. Nani?! I thought they all used like magic or something... He thought as his eyebrows narrowed in thought.
"Of course Miyana-chan." The deep voice answered, a hint of anxiousness in the voice. That voice... Duo thought as he recognized it immediately. Iie... it can't be him...
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Usagi awoke about four hours after falling asleep to a very strange sound. It sounded like a muffled cry for help. When she looked around, Quatre lay sleeping at her side but something was wrong... where was Sakura?
"Sakura-chan?" Usagi questioned as she stood up. She wobbled on her feet slightly and began to walk toward the door. As she passed out through the doorway, she saw a flash of pink disappear around the corner and it seemed that a black shadow was dragging her away. "Sakura!!" Usagi shouted as she ran after the figure. "Let her go!" She called again as she turned the corner. She ran right into a man with long blond hair that looked nearly white even in the dim light.
"You're time is finished Princess." He said as a smirk appeared on his cruel looking face. Usagi looked past him and saw the form of Sakura wrapped in what looked like a black shadow but could only be one thing. It was a youma, it wrapped its formless body around the child to hold her in place.
"O-negai! Don't hurt Sakura-chan! Do what you want to me, just don't hurt her!" She begged, feeling a deep fear tearing at her heart.
"There are two conditions you must meet before we release her." The man said with a smirk on his face.
"Anything, just don't hurt her!" Usagi cried as she fell to her knees.
"You have to take us to Heero Yuy first." The man said seriously.
"D... demo, I don't know where he is." Usagi said, tears filling her eyes.
"You had better find him. Once that condition has been met, I will give you the second one." He stated firmly as he took a step backward.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Quatre awoke gradually. He felt around for Usagi who had been sleeping so peacefully a few minutes prior to see that she and Sakura were gone. A terrible sense of dread filled his chest as he stood up and walked out the door.
"Usagi!" He called as he ran down the twisting corridors in whatever direction he seemed to sense her. "Sakura-chan!" He called, louder this time.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Usagi nodded as a tear slid down her cheek. She was on her knees before this man with tears flowing freely down her face.
"You can't ask me to do something like that..." She whispered as sorrow seemed to grab hold of her heart.
"Usagi!" She faintly heard a voice yell. It was Quatre, he sounded very worried. "Sakura-chan!" The voice grew louder and soon they heard feet pounding heavily on the ground.
"Quat-chan! Iie! Go back!" She yelled as he rounded the corner and came into view. He skidded to a stop and his eyes narrowed on Zechs.
"Nani!?! What are you doing?!?" He demanded as he saw his future daughter wrapped tightly in a strange looking substance.
"Gomen Quatre-san, I had to twist my story a little to get close enough to the child. You have one option to get her back, fulfill my two conditions and she will go unharmed." Zechs stated firmly.
"Quat-chan!" Usagi cried as she grabbed his wrist. "O-negai! We can't let him take Sakura-chan!" She cried as the tears soaked her cheeks. "I'm still too weak to fight, o-negai, don't let him take her." Usagi begged as the tears dripped from her chin onto the white fabric of her dress.
"Ha-ha!" Sakura shouted as she managed to get her mouth free of the youma. "Don't worry about me! You have to save Trowa-san and the rest of them!"
"Nani... the rest of them?" Quatre asked, shock on his face. The rest of the guys had been taken along with Trowa?
"You know what I want, I will return in three days and if there is no sign of him, this little brat will be the first to know." Zechs said coldly as he stepped through the hallway mirror.
"Iie! Sakura-chan!!" Usagi screamed at the top of her lungs. A blinding white light filled the air and the mirror they had disappeared into shattered. Quatre had to run around the corner to escape the flying glass shards and debris that were thrown from the hallway. Quatre couldn't block out her mournful cry though, it was full of a sorrow that shouldn't have been in a girl her age. What exactly had Zechs wanted to make her so upset?
"I will let this go on no longer..." He heard her whisper as the light and cry died away. He slowly edged his way around the corner and there kneeling on the ground stood a woman he didn't recognize. She was much taller than his Usagi with long flowing silver-white hair that lay in the ground in piles. Her hair was done up in two heart-shaped odangos with silver in the center and feathers in her hair. She was wearing a heavy-duty armor that covered her chest and legs completely and a long white cape with a silver underside hung down her back. Being held in her arms was a helmet of some sort with wings on either side that went back as well as wings on her wrists and ankles. On the front of the uniform hung a piece of cloth outside of the armor with all the colors of a rainbow shooting out in a spectrum from a silver crescent moon and gracing her forehead was a golden nine-point star with a silver upturned crescent moon in the center.
"Usa-chan..." He breathed as he saw the warrior that stood before him. She had a set expression in deep sorrowful eyes that slightly resembled those of Usagi only much older. On her back there were the ends of two swords sticking up and criss-crossed in their holders.
"I will make Miyana pay for her crimes... I am the Cosmic Warrior... created to punish the wrongdoers of the universe..." She whispered as her eyes narrowed.
"What has happened to you..." Quatre whispered in shock as he stared at the woman that stood in place of his innocent angel.

Chapter 24 - Cosmic Warrior
"Nani?" Quatre said seeing the man with white-blond hair standing outside the door.
"Quatre Raberba Winner..." Zechs said to himself standing at the door in front of the astonished platinum blond.
"Why have you come here?" Quatre asked, trying to get over his astonishment. It had been a long time since anyone had heard from him and Quatre was taken aback that Zechs would show up on HIS doorstep.
"I've been searching for one `Sailor Moon'." Zechs said calmly.
"Sailor Moon?" Quatre asked slightly surprised. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows she's gone." Quatre argued.
"I know Usagi is the one I search for." Zechs said calmly.
"Usagi?" Quatre questioned, raising an eyebrow as if he had no clue who this `Usagi' person was. "You're mistaken, there's no one named Usagi here."
"Quatre-chan?" Came a small voice from behind.
"Hai Sakura-chan?" Quatre called, turning his attention to the cherry-petal pink hair that stood behind him. Zechs still stood in the door, silent and still as always.
"Usagi said she's hungry." Sakura said, smiling at the blond figure before her. The form of her father from the past.
"You don't know anyone named Usagi ne?" Zechs asked raising an eyebrow. Quatre sighed in defeat and motioned for Zechs to follow him.
"Sir, could you ask the cooks to prepare something for Usagi?" Quatre asked, turning to the butler.
"Hai, Master Quatre." The butler said before heading in the direction of the kitchen.
"Now, Zechs... Why are you so anxious to see Usagi?" Quatre asked, giving the man a suspicious look.
"...."
"Quatre? Who's this mean man?" Sakura asked as she pulled on Quatre's pant leg.

"I'll tell Usagi-chan that you'll come see her in a few minutes all right?" Sakura asked as she turned back toward Quatre for a moment. He nodded and watched as she turned around and began to run at top speed down the slippery hallways.
"Careful Sakura-chan! They just waxed the floors!" Quatre called after her. As if on cue, the girl skidded across the floor and landed in a heap against the wall.
"Itai!" She cried as she stood up, rubbing her rear end that she had fallen on. " Why didn't you tell me sooner Quatre-chan?" Sakura whined as she began to walk away once again. Quatre couldn't help but laugh; the child was just so adorable.
"Quatre." An insistent voice said from behind him, grabbing the younger boy's attention.
"Gomen, follow me." Quatre said as he walked toward his office. He pushed the door open and the two of them walked through and sat down at the desk.
"Have you figured out why I'm here yet?" Zechs asked calmly as he sat in the chair and pushed his long hair behind his shoulder.
"Iie, why have you come?" Quatre asked, slightly worried. "And how do you know Usagi?" Quatre asked, suspicion written on his face. A smirk broke across Zechs's face and he leaned slightly forward.

"Please, stop with the jokes and riddles, just give me some answers." Quatre said, rubbing his temples slightly. He was starting to get a migraine over the stress of everything that had happened recently.
"I came here to protect her." Zechs stated simply.
"Protect her?" Quatre questioned, not really knowing what the older man meant.
"Hai, protect her like I used to." Zechs finished.
"Nani? When did you protect her?" Quatre asked, confusion written across his pale face.
"It was a long time ago that I just recently remembered. Demo, it was something I wasn't supposed to remember at all." Zechs continued as if he were talking to himself. "I was one of her protectors back in the time of the Silver Millennium."
"Nani? You're not lying?" Quatre demanded as he rose to his feet, both hands on the desk in front of him. Zechs just chuckled lightly and nodded his head. "Demo, why didn't she mention you?" Quatre asked again, trying to figure a few things out in his own head.
"She doesn't remember." He stated simply, shrugging his shoulders. Quatre nodded his head and stood up to go find Usagi.
"All right, you may stay here. Please, don't go see Usagi until I tell her of your arrival though." Quatre said simply. Zechs nodded and Quatre left the room, heading for the blond angel's room that had stolen his heart from his very chest.

"Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried as she came running into the room. She bounded in happily and jumped up onto the bed beside Usagi. Usagi started to giggle and sat up to tickle the girl. "Iie! Stop Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried as she wiggled, trying to get away from Usagi's tickling fingers.
"It's very rude to jump up and wake someone up like that Sakura-chan!" Usagi said as she tickled the young girl, laughing the whole while. "You're gonna pay for it! In the name of the moon, I'll tickle you until you learn your lesson!" Usagi said as she kept tickling the pink-haired child.
"Iie! I can't breathe Usagi-chan!" Sakura cried between her wiggles whenever she had air in her lungs to speak. Usagi giggled and stopped, pulling the girl into a hug while rubbing her head with her knuckles lightly. Usagi finally let the girl go and laid back into the cushion of the pillows and the pink comforters that were wrapped around her.
"Gomen Sakura-chan, I'm just so tired..." She whispered as she lay back in the comforters. Sakura had a look of worry mixed with sorrow as she curled up next to Usagi and lay her head on Usagi's shoulder. Usagi glanced down at the child and watched as the huge blue eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep. I guess she was more tired than she was letting on. Usagi thought as a smile crossed her lips. She probably hasn't been able to sleep... I'm sure she misses her parents like crazy.
"Usa-chan?" A familiar voice came from the doorway. Usagi turned to see the small form of Quatre enter with a tray in his hands. He set the tray on the nightstand beside her and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Quat-chan." She breathed as she felt the depression of the bed when he sat. She looked up and met his aqua-blue eyes and a huge smile broke out across her face. He brushed a few strands of loose hair from her face and leaned down toward her. Their lips met in a light kiss and she giggled quietly as his bangs tickled her face. "Dai suki!" Usagi cried as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down toward him. She kissed him on the cheek and gently nudged Sakura over as she pulled Quatre onto the bed beside her. Quatre reached over Usagi gently and placed the young child between them, wrapping his arm around Usagi and Sakura.
"Ai shiteru, Usa-chan." Quatre said quietly as he leaned toward her and captured her lips with his own, seeking out her tongue with his own. She willingly let his tongue into her mouth to explore and responded with the same willingness. They heard a light giggle and looked down to see Sakura watching them. Both broke out into a blazing blush.
"You love Chi-chi, ne Ha-ha?" Sakura asked, prompting and even deeper blush on the two of them.
"Hai, musume-chan." Usagi said, following Sakura's example with the names. She kissed Sakura on the forehead and watched as the child's eyes closed again and she fell back to sleep. Usagi cuddled closer to the two of them and soon found she nodding off as well.

A figure watched as the happy family lay cuddling on the pink blankets in Usagi's room. A smirk spread across a dark face as the eyes gleamed in the darkness.
"Sleep now Princess, you won't have much of a chance later on." The low inaudible voice whispered before the figure receded back into the darkness of one of the many corridors that were rarely used in the Winner household.

"Looks like my plan is going perfectly." Miyana said as she looked over her new warriors. They were all lined up in a row, each one waiting their turn for her 'treatment'. It wasn't going too well, she was still working on converting Trowa. He was refusing to submit to her, he refused to obey her. That would soon come to an end. Once the memory of that little princess from that Pacifist country had been wiped from his mind, he would be her slave.
"What do you want psycho!?!" Duo demanded, not using the three-letter-words he had used earlier that day. "Let Trowa go!" He commanded pulling against the bands that pinned him tightly to the wall. He had been there unconscious for about and hour or two but he was severely pissed now. Not only did he have a throbbing headache, but also this psycho lady was messing with his friend.
Miyana smirked to herself as she turned to face a fuming Duo. She chuckled lightly to herself and walked toward the braided pilot. She stopped in front of him and brought her hand back, slapping him sharply across the face.
"You had better watch what you say, Duo-chan." She said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "You just might end up like him." She said, smirking as she pointed to the limp form that someone had just thrown at his feet. It looked like the person's outfit had once been white but was now stained crimson red with something that looked like blood.
"Wufei?" Duo questioned, his eyes widening in shock as he saw the ebony black hair that hung loose around a pale and drawn face.
"He just didn't come along nice and easy. He decided he was going to fight, demo, we showed him ne?" The woman asked as she turned to face the person that had brought Wufei in. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips firmly against his. The light was too dim, though, for Duo to make out the face of the man.
"What do you want, kisama!" He spat in disgust as he felt an uncontrollable urge to hurt someone, namely her.
"That's it, get mad. Then it will be much easier for me to convert you to be my slave." She said as she smirked and walked over to him. She put her face an inch in front of his and smirked deeply, her purple lips curved upward and her hideous laugh filled the air. Duo cringed slightly at the sound, though not too much for her to notice. "You are so kawaii Duo-chan." She said as she mocked Usagi. Then she drew closer to him and grabbed her chin, letting her black nails sink into the soft flesh of his cheeks. She smirked once again and brought her lips to his, kissing him deeply. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and searched its contours, mostly to piss him off. As she was about to break away, though, she bit down on his lip until she the bitter taste of blood filled her mouth.
"Kisama!" Duo spat as blood trickled down his cheek. Had he been able to move, even if she was a girl, he would have killed her.
"So, shall we move on to phase two of the plan?" Miyana asked the figure in the shadows. A low familiar chuckle came from the man in the shadows and Duo though he saw the glimmer of metal in the shadows. A gun? He said in his thoughts, confusion dragging its way through his thoughts. Nani?! I thought they all used like magic or something... He thought as his eyebrows narrowed in thought.
"Of course Miyana-chan." The deep voice answered, a hint of anxiousness in the voice. That voice... Duo thought as he recognized it immediately. Iie... it can't be him...

Usagi awoke about four hours after falling asleep to a very strange sound. It sounded like a muffled cry for help. When she looked around, Quatre lay sleeping at her side but something was wrong... where was Sakura?
"Sakura-chan?" Usagi questioned as she stood up. She wobbled on her feet slightly and began to walk toward the door. As she passed out through the doorway, she saw a flash of pink disappear around the corner and it seemed that a black shadow was dragging her away. "Sakura!!" Usagi shouted as she ran after the figure. "Let her go!" She called again as she turned the corner. She ran right into a man with long blond hair that looked nearly white even in the dim light.
"You're time is finished Princess." He said as a smirk appeared on his cruel looking face. Usagi looked past him and saw the form of Sakura wrapped in what looked like a black shadow but could only be one thing. It was a youma, it wrapped its formless body around the child to hold her in place.
"O-negai! Don't hurt Sakura-chan! Do what you want to me, just don't hurt her!" She begged, feeling a deep fear tearing at her heart.
"There are two conditions you must meet before we release her." The man said with a smirk on his face.
"Anything, just don't hurt her!" Usagi cried as she fell to her knees.
"You have to take us to Heero Yuy first." The man said seriously.
"D... demo, I don't know where he is." Usagi said, tears filling her eyes.
"You had better find him. Once that condition has been met, I will give you the second one." He stated firmly as he took a step backward.

Quatre awoke gradually. He felt around for Usagi who had been sleeping so peacefully a few minutes prior to see that she and Sakura were gone. A terrible sense of dread filled his chest as he stood up and walked out the door.
"Usagi!" He called as he ran down the twisting corridors in whatever direction he seemed to sense her. "Sakura-chan!" He called, louder this time.

Usagi nodded as a tear slid down her cheek. She was on her knees before this man with tears flowing freely down her face.
"You can't ask me to do something like that..." She whispered as sorrow seemed to grab hold of her heart.
"Usagi!" She faintly heard a voice yell. It was Quatre, he sounded very worried. "Sakura-chan!" The voice grew louder and soon they heard feet pounding heavily on the ground.
"Quat-chan! Iie! Go back!" She yelled as he rounded the corner and came into view. He skidded to a stop and his eyes narrowed on Zechs.
"Nani!?! What are you doing?!?" He demanded as he saw his future daughter wrapped tightly in a strange looking substance.
"Gomen Quatre-san, I had to twist my story a little to get close enough to the child. You have one option to get her back, fulfill my two conditions and she will go unharmed." Zechs stated firmly.
"Quat-chan!" Usagi cried as she grabbed his wrist. "O-negai! We can't let him take Sakura-chan!" She cried as the tears soaked her cheeks. "I'm still too weak to fight, o-negai, don't let him take her." Usagi begged as the tears dripped from her chin onto the white fabric of her dress.
"Ha-ha!" Sakura shouted as she managed to get her mouth free of the youma. "Don't worry about me! You have to save Trowa-san and the rest of them!"
"Nani... the rest of them?" Quatre asked, shock on his face. The rest of the guys had been taken along with Trowa?
"You know what I want, I will return in three days and if there is no sign of him, this little brat will be the first to know." Zechs said coldly as he stepped through the hallway mirror.
"Iie! Sakura-chan!!" Usagi screamed at the top of her lungs. A blinding white light filled the air and the mirror they had disappeared into shattered. Quatre had to run around the corner to escape the flying glass shards and debris that were thrown from the hallway. Quatre couldn't block out her mournful cry though, it was full of a sorrow that shouldn't have been in a girl her age. What exactly had Zechs wanted to make her so upset?
"I will let this go on no longer..." He heard her whisper as the light and cry died away. He slowly edged his way around the corner and there kneeling on the ground stood a woman he didn't recognize. She was much taller than his Usagi with long flowing silver-white hair that lay in the ground in piles. Her hair was done up in two heart-shaped odangos with silver in the center and feathers in her hair. She was wearing a heavy-duty armor that covered her chest and legs completely and a long white cape with a silver underside hung down her back. Being held in her arms was a helmet of some sort with wings on either side that went back as well as wings on her wrists and ankles. On the front of the uniform hung a piece of cloth outside of the armor with all the colors of a rainbow shooting out in a spectrum from a silver crescent moon and gracing her forehead was a golden nine-point star with a silver upturned crescent moon in the center.
"Usa-chan..." He breathed as he saw the warrior that stood before him. She had a set expression in deep sorrowful eyes that slightly resembled those of Usagi only much older. On her back there were the ends of two swords sticking up and criss-crossed in their holders.
"I will make Miyana pay for her crimes... I am the Cosmic Warrior... created to punish the wrongdoers of the universe..." She whispered as her eyes narrowed.
"What has happened to you..." Quatre whispered in shock as he stared at the woman that stood in place of his innocent angel.
