I'm in such a good mood that I decided to write a new chapter! OMG, can you believe that this whacko chick actually reviewed the story and said that the story sucked without even giving a reason and that I could go to hell? And she was on CHAPTER TWO! I swear, some people. No manners. I totally removed her review. She didn't even leave a e-mail address so I could chew her out. Can dish it, but can't take it huh? Yeah, if your reading this u psycho, I hope you go to hell! *sigh* Anyways, if you want to flame me, all I ask for is a reason. Thanks for ur time!

P.S. Onna means woman. Plain and simply woman.

Chapter Twelve: Too Close For Comfort
*******************************

Michiru stood there, with her mouth open, unblinking. Athena waved her hand in front of her for a few minutes before she started breathing again. Haruka walked up behind her and placed a possessive hand on her lovers' shoulder, glaring at the inner senshi and their prince. "What the hell do you want?" she spat. She watched with sadistic pleasure as they squirmed under her rather hateful gaze. Hera spoke up in a small voice. "We want to apologize to Usagi for the way were to her." Haruka snorted. "You can apologize all you like to Usagi, but she can't hear you. She no longer exists, but then again, you killed her so know that already." she replied, turning to slam the door in their faces. "Wait! Please, we need to apologize. We have to." Aphrodite said, her eyes watering up. Michiru's eyebrow went up when she noticed the desperation in the Princess of Venus' voice. "Funny, you didn't exactly want to apologize the last time you met with koneko-chan." her soul mate threw in their faces. With the exception of Discordia, all of them looked like they were slapped in the face. Even Endymion held remorse within his eyes. "We are sorry. No matter what you think, we really are sorry. We see now, no even back then, that we were wrong. Let us see Usagi." he said, using a regal voice not heard in years. "Why don't you take your apology and stick it up your ass." the wind goddess continued to argue. Quatre and Duo were starting to feel uncomfortable. They came here to get their friend back, not to witness another war. '*Sigh* I wish the doorbell had never rang.' they thought, their eyes moving back and forth between the parties.

Wufei watched in shock as the woman he had known as Cosmos transformed into Serenity, sweet Serenity. The last ruffle fell in place, and she stood there, silent and expectant. He moved to close his mouth, but it only fell open again. "Ho-how is this possible?" he stuttered, a rare moment indeed. The flaxen beauty only smiled calmly and moved to his bedside. Gently taking his hand, as she had done earlier, and stroked it softly. "Magic my dear Vie." He quickly pulled his hand away and opened his eyes wider. "What did you call me?" he asked, slowly as to not have an aneurysm. "You are Prince Vie II of Banuta and I am Serenity IV, Princess of the Moon Kingdom and Supreme Princess of the Silver Alliance. Oh, I know this must all be so overwhelming for you, but, " she stopped when she noticed Setsuna in the doorway. *The inner senshi are here to see you. They wish to apologize* she flashed into the princess's mind. Serenity gasped, her eyes filled with pain. Wufei, now Vie, looked with concern at the human star. "Send them in." she sighed, closing her eyes to try and stop her crystalline tears. "Wait, I want to know..." Wufei started, but stopped when he noticed that she wasn't paying attention to him any longer, her gaze focused on the door. Setsuna simply nodded and turned to bring them forth. *For their sakes, they had better be sincere* the time goddess thought cruelly. Serenity turned back to her former lover and gave him a new, sad smile. 'What is she thinking?' Wufei thought, trying to search into her fathom less eyes. He only got sorrow for his troubles. Almost against his will, he lifted a hand and carefully brushed away a single, falling tear. *Drop* His body went ridged with shock. A memory. One single tear held a whole memory for the shinning goddess.
*Memory*

He stood in front of a grand court room, courtiers and nobles surrounded their queen, their beautiful queen. "My prince, welcome to my kingdom." she said, lifting her hand in a stately manner. He bowed with true respect and looked back up to see a new person in front of him. Looking stunningly like Queen Serenity, this could only be one person.... "Prince Vie, may I present my daughter, Serenity IV, Princess of the Moon Kingdom and Supreme Princess of the Silver Alliance." the matriarch smiled, watching her daughter curtsy elegantly before taking her place next to her.
*End Memory*
********************

Setsuna re-entered, looking none too happy. "She has consented to see you. Why is beyond me." she said curtly, forcibly making Haruka step back and away from them. Letting out a collective sigh, the inner princess entered, stopping only briefly to view the young men in the living room. As Endymion passed, the Goddess of the Heavens roughly grabbed his arm. "You make her cry and I'll kill you." she hissed into his ear alone, but he knew that the warning stood for all of them. Forcing down a gulp, he continued with a short nod into the designated place. As they entered, Discordia couldn't stop staring at the figure lying decivingly helplessly in the bed, then back at her transformed princess. Honestly, she didn't want to be there. She really didn't care if she ever got her powers back ad she didn't care whether Serenity ever forgave them. 'Then why am I here?' she thought bitterly, watching as all the others bowed in the lunar princess' presence. Doing so as well, she waited for Serenity to make the next move. There she stood, in all her illumines glory, looking at them like they where disgusting insects. Slowly, she sat at the edge while the others started to move out of their formation, before she stopped them. "No. This is good. I don't think I want to look into your faces just yet." Hera bit her lip and they all unconsciously reverted into a form their haven't used in over many centuries. Serenity looked at the newly transformed senshi and raised her head as if to ask for strength from All Mighty Serenity I herself. Taking a deep breath, she began. "Speak." Mercury was the first to respond. "My Princess, we have seen the error of our ways, and our many trespasses from so long ago." Venus picked up. "Please allow us to apologize for our impardonable transgressions." Serenity's ears perked up at the last two words. "If they are impardonable, why should I forgive you?"
********************

Duo watched the young girl, Hotaru, look at him like he was a open book, information ready for the taking. 'What is she doing?' All thoughts were put on hold when Setsuna re-appeared, still looking rather sour. *They are there* was all she said to the other outers. Duo meekly raised hand. "Um, what's going on here? Who were those people and why did they have pictures on their foreheads?" he asked, looking at his other comrades for support, only getting it from Quatre. Heero looked half interested while Trowa sipped his java. Damn, they had totally forgotten about that. "Well, those pictures you saw were simply tattoos and a little dyed hair. The same with Cosmos, the woman with the star." Michiru tried to convincingly lie like a pro. She was failing miserably. Heero snorted. "And pigs fly." Haruka quickly got to her defense. "What do you mean by that?! She's telling the truth. We used to have the same thing, but we had them removed long ago." "But then why were they glowing?" Duo asked, a little louder then before. Everyone except Haruka and Hotaru looked at him like he was on crack. Of course, it was very possible. *I told you he was possessed. Only one of us could see their energy.* the purple firefly said smugly into the blonde woman's head. Before any more questions could be asked, the young braid collapsed, heaving in pain. At the same time, Hotaru felt her body tingling unpleasantly. Heero immediately had a gun in her face. "What did you do to him?" he asked coldly. In an answer, Hotaru simply backed out and fell to the ground.

Well, that's the fastest I've ever gotten a chapter out, ne?
