Usagi's New Found Life
" Goodbye..."
By: Ankoku (a.k.a Chibi Vampire)
(The next day)
" Hey Haruka, Michiru!" Usagi cried as she ran up to her friends.
" Huh?" replied Haruka as she and her 'cousin' turned around to see their 'Princess' run up to
them. " Oh, hi Usagi."
" When are we leaving?" asked Usagi.
" What are you talking about?" said Haruka suspiciously.
" Oh, sorry about that Haruka, Setsuna told me that Usagi is coming with us to the other...'place'. I forgot to tell you," apologized Michiru.
" WHAT?!" cried Haruka. " She can't come! It's too dangerous!"
" I don't care! I am coming!" shouted Usagi eyes watering a bit.
" Haruka calm down. Usagi is old enough to know what she wants. Let her come," advised Michiru.
" But why?" asked Haruka.
" She has her own reasons," said Setsuna as she appeared out of no where. " We have to hurry Princess, we have to go now. Do you have everything you need for the trip?"
" Yup!" replied Usagi cheerfully for being allowed to go. Then the four friends made their way to Haruka's house.
(Haruka's House)
" Is anyone else coming with us?" asked Usagi after they all henshined (Is that the right spelling? I'm not sure).
" No, just us," answered Haruka. " But we are supposed to meet Saturn there."
" Oh, okay," replied Usagi.
" Come on, it's time to go," instructed Setsuna.
(G.W dimension)
" Hey Heero! How ya doin' buddy?" asked Duo in his usually cheerful voice.
" Hey Duo," replied Heero and then nodded at the others. " So, where's Re- " Heero stopped in
mid-sentence as a flash of light blinded the Gundam pilots.
" Ugh!" cried Duo with his hands in front of his face just like the others.
" What was that?" asked Trowa as the light disappeared.
" I don't know, lets take a look," said Quatre as the five guys started to walk in the direction of
the light. There they found Usagi, Michiru, Haruka and Setsuna standing there. They had already detransformed.
" Is this the place?" asked Michiru.
" Yes, this is it," answered Setsuna.
" What is this place?" asked Usagi.
" This is where we have come to find the Gundam pilots, and Ho-," Setsuna was cut off in mid-sentence by Heero.
" Why are you looking for them?" asked Heero with a gun pointed at Usagi.
" Put that gun down," hissed Haruka as she glared at the five guys. " Now!"
" Humph...Weak onnas," muttered Wufei.
He really shouldn't have said that, thought Usagi and Michiru.
" Women aren't weak," said Haruka slowly and then with one quick move, she sent Wufei flying across the park.
" AHHHHH!!!!!" cried Wufei as he went flying,.
" Wow, Wu-man just got his first flying lesson," said Duo.
" SHUT UP MAXWELL!" came a voice from about a few meters away. Everyone sweatdropped at that, even Heero.
" You must be Heero," said Setsuna.
" Who are you people and what do you want?" asked Heero with the gun still pointed at Usagi.
" We are here to find the Gundam pilots, but I guess you found us," said Setsuna with the tiniest hint of amusement in her voice.
" Why were you looking for us?" asked Trowa.
" We are here on a mission to help stop the war that is about to start," answered Setsuna as Heero slowly put away his gun.
" Why do you think we need YOUR help?" asked Wufei as he walked back.
" Hey, Wu-man's back," said Duo as Wufei walked up from behind him.
" Shut up Maxwell," ordered Wufei as he hit Duo on the head. " We don't need no help from some weak onnas. Anyway, that was a cheep shot."
" We don't think so, we know so," said Haruka as she was about to kill Wufei but was stopped by Michiru.
" Well, how do we know we can trust you?" demanded Heero suspiciously.
" That's your call," said Michiru, speaking for the first time.
" Well, I think we can trust them," said Quatre with a smile.
" Good," Setsuna replied. " What about you guys?"
She received 3 nods and a 'hn'.
" Can you please tell us your names?" asked Trowa.
" My name is Michiru, this is Usagi, Haruka and Setsuna."
" My name is Trowa, this is Quatre, Duo, Wufei and as you already know, Heero."
" Well, I suggest we go back to my place and continue our little talk," suggested Quatre.
" Okay, lead the way," Usagi replied as the whole gang left for Quatre's house.
(Quatre's House)
" We're here!" Quatre said as he entered the living room. " It's not big, but it's home."
" Not big?" asked Usagi as she looked around the GIGANTIC living room.
" It's impressive but not as big as your old 'house'," Michiru said.
" Yeah, I guess your right," replied Usagi.
" Old house?" asked Heero.
" Um, yeah, we moved," Michiru said.
" Moved from where?" asked Trowa.
" That's none of your business," Haruka snapped.
" Baka onnas," muttered Wufei.
" WOMAN AREN'T WEAK OR STUPID!!" cried Haruka as she kicked Wufei in the stomach and sent him flying across the air and through the wall.
" AHHHH!!!!" screamed Wufei.
" Wow, Wu-man just got his second flying lesson. He's learning quick," said Duo with a grin.
" SHUT THE FUCK UP MAXWELL!" Wufei shouted from the other side.
" Yeah, yeah," said Duo.
" Um...sorry about the wall Quatre," Setsuna apologized.
" Don't worry about it," Quatre replied.
*Sigh* " Haruka, you have got to be nicer to people," said Michiru.
" Ya, especially Wu-man there," added Duo. " I don't think he can live another lesson."
" My name isn't Wu-man!" shouted Wufei as he slowly limped back to the group.
" Well I think Wu-man fits you just fine," muttered Haruka as Wufei glared at her.
" Whatever Wu-man," Duo replied back.
" MAXWELL!" Wufei shouted before he knocked Duo unconscious.
" Hey! I liked that guy he's seemed to be one of the two normal people in your group," Usagi said as she knocked Wufei out, which surprised everyone.
" Um, why don't we have some tea in the kitchen," suggested Quatre just to make sure no one else end up unconscious on the floor.
" I agree," said Setsuna as she put her hands around Quatre's arm. His face went tomato red
as he led them to the kitchen.
" HHHHHEEEEEEEEEERRRRROOOOO!!!!!" came a loud wail/shriek. That stopped the gang dead
in their tracks and it woke up both Duo and Wufei.
" Ugh! My ears!" Duo shouted as he clutched his ears.
" Oh, hi Relena," Heero said without even having to turn around.
" Hi Heero!" Relena said back before she gave him a hug.
" Wow, and people say I'm loud," Usagi muttered.
" Hey, who are you people?" snapped Relena as she heard what Usagi said.
" I was just about to ask you the same thing," Usagi snapped back.
" Now cut it out you two," ordered Heero. " Relena, this is Usagi, Setsuna and Haruka."
" Hi," all of them said at once.
" Usagi, Setsuna, Haruka, this is Relena," said Heero.
" Hi," said Relena as she gave them a small curtsy.
" Now that everyone's settled down, how about that tea?" asked Quatre and they all entered
the kitchen.
(Tokyo)
" Hey! Mamoru!" Rei called from behind as she ran up to her new boyfriend. As Mamoru turned
around, Rei gave him a quick kiss and asked, " You wanted to talk to me?"
" Ya, actually I did," Mamoru replied as he led Rei to a bench near the center of the park.
" Ya, what is it?" asked Rei.
" I think I figured out where they went."
" But does it matter? Usagi is gone, what is the point in looking for her?"
" We need to find her, haven't you realized it yet? We need her to fight all the negaverse, we
can't beat them without her."
" You still love her don't you?"
" What? No, of course not! I love you."
" Rei, you know he's right," a voice said from behind as Ami, Makoto and Minako walked towards the
couple.
" No! We don't need that klutz! We can manage ourselves!" Rei shouted with fury.
" Rei, you know that's not true," Makoto replied. " Now Mamoru, where do you think she is?"
" Well, a while ago, when Michiru was talking to Haruka, I happened to hear them mention something about another dimension," said Mamoru.
" But how will we get there?" asked Ami.
" I don't know, maybe we can try and concentrate all of our powers on Usagi," suggested Mamoru.
" And do the planet teleport..." said Ami, finishing the sentence.
" Ya, let's try that," Makoto agreed. " But will we be strong enough without Sailormoon?"
" I say we give it a shot," said Minako.
" Well, I'm in," said Ami.
" Okay, what about you Rei?" asked Makoto.
" Fine, but it's only for the good of the Earth," Rei replied with a sigh.
" Good, then we'll meet here at the park again, tomorrow," said Mamoru.
" Thankfully it's a weekend," said Ami.
" Ya, you got that right!" replied Makoto.
" But, I still need to read more in the book were doing for English, I'm only ten chapters ahead,"
complained Ami, and everyone sweatdropped at that.
" What?" asked Ami.
(G.W dimension)
" So, you say there is going to be a war in a few years?" asked Quatre.
" Yes," replied Setsuna.
" How do you know that?" asked Trowa.
" I have my ways," answered Setsuna as Heero stared at her and thought, 'I don't trust these
new people.'
" You'll just have to trust us," Michiru says this when she saw the look on Heero's face.
" Well we don't really care what you do, we know there is going to be a war. We're just telling
you to be prepare for it. Besides you can't stop this war without us," Haruka stated.
" Oh?" Duo questioned.
" Well, I didn't think we should even be telling you this in the first place, but they out-numbered me," Haruka retorted.
" It's okay Haruka, there's nothing to worry about," said Michiru.
" I'm getting tired," complained Usagi with a yawn.
" Where are you planning on staying?" asked Quatre.
" In a hotel I guess," Michiru replied.
" Actually, you know what, I think Heero has an extra room in where he is staying, Usagi, why
don't you stay with him?" Quatre suggested.
"..."
" Um...Sure," replied Usagi in an unsure tone.
" But..." started Relena.
" Okay, fine with me," replied Heero coldly.
" And Michiru can stay with me, if that's okay with you Michiru," suggested Trowa.
" Sure, thank you Trowa," said Michiru with a smile.
" You can stay with me Setsuna," said Quatre with a smile.
" Thank you, your very kind," replied Setsuna which caused Quatre to blush a bit.
" We don't need to stay with you, we can find our own place to stay," snapped Haruka.
" It's harder than you think, there's a lot of people here and not many hotels," Trowa informed them.
" So, Haruka, I guess you're stuck with Wu-man there. I'd like you to come with me, but I ain't got any room," said Duo with an evil grin.
" WHAT?!?!" shouted Haruka and Wufei at the same time.
" You have got to be kidding! I'm NOT staying with that guy," Haruka stated.
" This is injustice! Why do I have to share a apartment with Her?" shouted Wufei.
" Calm down, both of you! It's only until they find a hotel room," Heero said with a very annoyed voice.
" But that's going to take FOREVER!" complained Wufei.
" Anyway, it's easier that way, we can all go to school together," added Duo.
" NO WAY!!!" shouted Haruka and Wufei in unison.
" EVERYONE!!! SHUT UP!!!" shouted Heero very, very pissed off. " Usagi will stay with me, Setsuna will stay with Quatre, Michiru will stay Trowa and Haruka will stay with Wufei."
" No way," said Haruka flatly. " Why can't I just stay here, there seems to be enough room."
" Yes, it is big," admitted Quatre. " But when you have 29 sisters, the house is just barely big enough. Sorry..."
Damn.
'If Usagi stays with Heero, how can I be sure she wouldn't make a move on him,' thought Relena.
" Umm...Wufei could we umm... switch? So Haruka and I would be at the same place and it wouldn't be a problem anymore," Usagi suggested, she wasn't ready to share an apartment room with a guy after the incident with Mamoru.
'Hooray!!!,' thought Relena. " Yeah... I think that is a good idea."
" Relena, stay out of this, just leave it. I don't have time for all this trouble. It's already messed up enough," ordered Heero.
" Hey, Usagi, if you want, I can kill Wufei and we can stay at his house," Haruka suggested with a grin.
" Hey!" cried Wufei.
" It's alright, just leave it," sighed Usagi
" So that's that," said Heero. " Come on Usagi, let's go."
" Ya, it's getting late," said Trowa. " Let's go too Michiru."
" Okay," said Michiru as she got up and left with Trowa after waving good bye to the others. Then Heero left after them along with Usagi.
" Fine then, I'm going too," said Relena.
" I'll go with ya," said Duo as he went with Relena.
" I guess I'm stuck with you after all," said Wufei with a sigh and he then left with Haruka. Actually, Haruka left with him only after he agreed to not talk to her, not look at her or do anything that related to her. He obviously agreed.
" Not that that's settled, let's get some sleep," said Quatre with a smile.
" Where do I sleep?" asked Setsuna.
" Your room is right there," said Quatre pointing to a room on the other side of the living room.
" Thank you," said Setsuna with a smile. " Goodnight Quatre."
" Goodnight," replied Quatre and walked to his room.
(Tokyo)
" Hey Mamoru," said Ami as the four inner scouts arrived at the park to find Mamoru sitting on a bench.
" Hey guys," replied Mamoru in sad tone.
" What's wrong Mamo-chan?" asked Rei concerned.
" Well....I...." Mamoru trailed off as he stare at the folded piece of paper in his hands.
" Well spit it out already!" demanded Minako even though she was nervous herself.
" I found this under my door last night, when I got home."
" Is that..." started Ami.
" A note from Usagi?" finished Makoto.
" Yes, it is." With that, Mamoru passed it to the other girls.
The note read:
Dear Mamoru:
I have left this you, this life and world in hopes to find a new one. Call this running away, call me a baby, I don't care, but by the time you read this, I will be long gone. Don't even bother to look for me, but hey, why would you right? And after this, you will never have to hear from me again, but I have one thing to ask of you. Accept or not, it's your choice, but my last request is for you to tell my family and Naru that I am safe. Tell them that there is nothing to worry about for I am with trusted people. That is all. Goodbye.
Usagi Tsukino
" Oh Usagi..." whispered Ami sadly.
" So sorry..." was heard from Minako while Makoto just stood there.
" I can believe she's selfish enough to just leave like that!" cried Rei," Doesn't she care about this world anymore? What about the Negaverse?!" At this, she was rewarded by three glares and a shock look from Mamoru.
" Rei! How could you?!" shouted Ami, tears shining in her eyes.
" What?! What did I do?"
" This is-" started Makoto, who looked like she was about to kill someone, but was cut off by Mamoru.
" So, are you girls ready to try out our little experiment and see if we can find Usagi?"
Sigh. " Yeah, we're all ready," replied Minako as she lay a hand on Makoto's shoulder. That seemed to relax the taller youth, slightly. Without another word, they headed for Mamoru's apartment. On their way there, unknownst among the five, they were followed by another.
(Mamoru's Apartment)
Once they got there, they all pulled out their henshin sticks and were all just about to transfrom when there was a loud knock on the door. Mamoru cast an uncertain look towards the other four. They were about to just ignore the knock when the person outside knocked/banged the door again. " Open up! I know your in there!" It was Naru. Mamoru and the others realized this and decided to let the girl in before she broke down the door.
" Um...Naru...what a surprise..." said Mamoru as he opened the door, nervously eyeing the others behind him as he closed the door behind the girl. " What may I do for you?" He asked as he once again turned to face the girl.
" I'm here about Usagi. Where is she?! What did you guy do to her?!" cried Naru as she grabbed Mamoru's shirt collar.
" I...We...We did..." stutter Mamoru, but he was unable to continue at the extreme sadness in the eyes that stared into his.
Suddenly, the girl that was practically strangling him, completely crumbled before his eyes. She loosened her grip on his shirt and collapsed onto the ground crying. " What...where...where is Usagi-chan? Oh Usagi..." Was all that was heard in the quiet room, between the girls sobs.
" Oh Naru..." Ami said quietly as she knelt down and gently pulled the sobbing girl into her arms.
" Ami..." With that, Naru threw herself onto Ami and cried her heart out. The other four who was watching, also had tears shining in their eyes. Even Rei.
Once Naru's tears finally subsided, she looked into Ami's eyes and broke the silence that had settled onto the room.
" Where is Usagi? Please tell me Ami, I know you know..."
" Well...Usagi is...um...." started Ami, unsure of how to tell the girl.
" She's gone." It was finished by Makoto.
" Gone? What do you mean?"
" She left..." Minako replied. " Show her the note."
" Alright." With that, Ami handed the note to Naru. The group watched as the group silently read it. Slowly, her eyes widdened until it could no further. Suddenly, she turned to Mamoru, her eyes narrowed, and demanded," What does she mean?!"
" Well I..."
" I think we should tell her," said Minako. " She deserves to know."
" But..."
" No Mamo-chan, she's right..." Rei said, speaking for the first time. " I'll tell her..." Then Rei started telling Naru about the events at the park. When she finished, Naru's eyes were larger than humanly possible. Shock and disbelieve showing clear in them. She just kept staring at the five, shaking her head back and forth say something that was too hard for the others to hear. Suddenly...
" HOW COULD YOU!!!" With that, Naru turned around, yanked open the door and dashed out into the hall. Her sobs echoing clearly down the hall, causing people to open their doors and peek outside. Soon though, the sound was lost and the people all went back to their own lives.
Back in the apartment room, the five who were left behind, just started at the open door until Mamoru shook himself out of his trance and finally closed it. Turning around he said," Is everyone ready to go?" Four silent nods, still slightly shaken from the earlier out break. But without another word, everyone transformed and linked hands forming a small circle.
" Everyone, concentrate on Usagi," directed Mamoru. The five heads bowed as the groupd concentrated and in a flash of blinding white light, the room was deserted leaving behind a single piece of white paper in where the group had currently occupied.
(G.W dimension)
" Thanks for letting me stay with you Heero," said Usagi with a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
" You're welcome," replied Heero.
" Um, how far more?"
" It's just past the park."
" Oh, is that the park?"
" Yeah."
" Wow, these flowers are beautiful," gasped Usagi as she bent and sniffed on of the tulips.
" Ya, I come here sometimes to think."
" About what?"
" Just stuff."
" I sometimes do that too."
" What do you think about?"
" My...friends." 'Oh Mamoru.'
" Oh, I never really had many myself." 'Why am I telling her these things...I barely even know her and yet I feel like I want her to know everything about me...'
" Why not?"
" Well I was never really the social type," said Heero as he put his arm on her shoulders when he felt her shiver. He would have offered her his coat, but he didn't have any... (Spandex and tanktop, as usual) Usagi looked at him, he looked straight ahead. Usagi put her head on his shoulder. All of a sudden, there was a blinding flash of light and Usagi lost her balance for a moment and fell down. Mamoru and the other scouts appeared, then they all detransformed.
" Are we in the right place?" asked Rei.
" Usagi, are you alright?" asked Heero as he helped her up.
" Usagi? Is that you?" asked Mamoru.
" What?" exclaimed Usagi as her vision came into focus. " Ma-Mamoru?"
" Usagi!" shouted Ami as she ran up to her along with the others.
" What do you want with Usagi?" snapped Heero as he protectively stepped in front of Usagi.
" Who are you?" asked Makoto getting into fighting stance.
" None of your business," said Heero as he made a move for his gun.
" Heero, it's okay," Usagi reassured him and put a hand on his shoulder letting him know not to take out his gun. " I know these people. What do you guys want?"
" We want you to come back to Tokyo with us," Minako blurted out.
" Why should I!" demanded Usagi as she felt her anger rising.
" Listen to me," said Mamoru as he grabbed her shoulders. " We need you to protect the people in Tokyo."
" What?" Heero asked very confused. Only to be ignored.
" Why don't you guys protect the people?" asked Usagi who was now starting to understand the reason they were her. 'I can't believe them...'
" You know very well that we can't do it on our own. Besides, your our leader," said Ami.
" Well I don't want to be your leader anymore! Rei can be your leader! She's always wanted to be!" shouted Usagi. Then in a much calmer and quieter voice she said, " Heero, let's go."
Heero put a hand on her shoulder and walked away with Usagi, but not before giving a hard stare to all of them.
" Fine, be that way! Like we really need you!" Rei shouted after them.
" Who are they?" Heero asked Usagi once they were far enough away from hearing distance.
" They were my friends...from before," said Usagi as she tried to keep her unshed tears back.
" It's okay, we're almost there," said Heero, he gave her shoulder a small squeeze then they continued their walked silently to his apartment.
(Back Over To The Group)
" How could she just forget who she really is and leave us like this?" demaded Rei, frustrated.
" Rei, it's not her fault, she's been through a lot lately," said Mamoru as he thought of all the fun times he had had with Usagi. 'How could I have been such a fool? Rei is nice, pretty and smart, but she's just not the right person for me. I like her but I can't love her. How could I have not realized this sooner? Usagi is the one that I truly love and had never stopped loving since. How could I have not realized that until now? I'm such an idiot.'
(Heero's apartment)
" Here we are," said Heero as he opened the door of his apartment.
" Thanks," Usagi said as she went inside and Heero closed the door behind her. 'It's so...empty...there's barely anything in here. It's like he barely even comes here.'
" Your room is over there and mine will be right there," said Heero as he pointed to a room and then another one just two doors over.
" Thanks, goodnight."
" Goodnight." And with that, the two went to their rooms and closed the door. Heero sat on his bed and thought about what had happened at the park. The minute Usagi entered her room, she slid to the floor with her back against the door and cried. Letting all her tears run freely down her cheeks. She really missed the times she had had with the inner scouts and...and with Mamoru. 'Oh maybe I should have left with them...'
" Usagi, are you okay? " asked Heero suddenly from the other side of the door. Concern was audiable in his voice. He had come upon hearing her soft sobs.
She straightened out as much as she could and said," I'm fine."
"K, night," Heero said reluclantly from out in the hall.
'Why am I worried about her? I have no need for emotions. Emotions are nothing but a mere distraction!'
Heero thought this over as he went back to his room.
(Back At The Park)
" Since it's obvious she's not coming back with us, we might as well just leave without her," Rei said with a sigh.
" But we can't just leave her here, she doesn't know anyone," Makoto put in.
" She seemed to know that guy she was with pretty well enough," Rei bit back.
'Yeah, who was that guy anyway?' Mamoru thought.
" Let's just go! Come on!!!" Rei urged. The scouts linked hands at that moment and put their powers together.
'We can't go back without Usagi!!' thought Mamoru panicked, but before he could say anything, there was a flash of light and they were gone.

Usagi's New Found Life
" Goodbye..."
By: Ankoku (a.k.a Chibi Vampire)
(The next day)
" Hey Haruka, Michiru!" Usagi cried as she ran up to her friends.
" Huh?" replied Haruka as she and her 'cousin' turned around to see their 'Princess' run up to
them. " Oh, hi Usagi."
" When are we leaving?" asked Usagi.
" What are you talking about?" said Haruka suspiciously.
" Oh, sorry about that Haruka, Setsuna told me that Usagi is coming with us to the other...'place'. I forgot to tell you," apologized Michiru.
" WHAT?!" cried Haruka. " She can't come! It's too dangerous!"
" I don't care! I am coming!" shouted Usagi eyes watering a bit.
" Haruka calm down. Usagi is old enough to know what she wants. Let her come," advised Michiru.
" But why?" asked Haruka.
" She has her own reasons," said Setsuna as she appeared out of no where. " We have to hurry Princess, we have to go now. Do you have everything you need for the trip?"
" Yup!" replied Usagi cheerfully for being allowed to go. Then the four friends made their way to Haruka's house.
(Haruka's House)
" Is anyone else coming with us?" asked Usagi after they all henshined (Is that the right spelling? I'm not sure).
" No, just us," answered Haruka. " But we are supposed to meet Saturn there."
" Oh, okay," replied Usagi.
" Come on, it's time to go," instructed Setsuna.
(G.W dimension)
" Hey Heero! How ya doin' buddy?" asked Duo in his usually cheerful voice.
" Hey Duo," replied Heero and then nodded at the others. " So, where's Re- " Heero stopped in
mid-sentence as a flash of light blinded the Gundam pilots.
" Ugh!" cried Duo with his hands in front of his face just like the others.
" What was that?" asked Trowa as the light disappeared.
" I don't know, lets take a look," said Quatre as the five guys started to walk in the direction of
the light. There they found Usagi, Michiru, Haruka and Setsuna standing there. They had already detransformed.
" Is this the place?" asked Michiru.
" Yes, this is it," answered Setsuna.
" What is this place?" asked Usagi.
" This is where we have come to find the Gundam pilots, and Ho-," Setsuna was cut off in mid-sentence by Heero.
" Why are you looking for them?" asked Heero with a gun pointed at Usagi.
" Put that gun down," hissed Haruka as she glared at the five guys. " Now!"
" Humph...Weak onnas," muttered Wufei.
He really shouldn't have said that, thought Usagi and Michiru.
" Women aren't weak," said Haruka slowly and then with one quick move, she sent Wufei flying across the park.
" AHHHHH!!!!!" cried Wufei as he went flying,.
" Wow, Wu-man just got his first flying lesson," said Duo.
" SHUT UP MAXWELL!" came a voice from about a few meters away. Everyone sweatdropped at that, even Heero.
" You must be Heero," said Setsuna.
" Who are you people and what do you want?" asked Heero with the gun still pointed at Usagi.
" We are here to find the Gundam pilots, but I guess you found us," said Setsuna with the tiniest hint of amusement in her voice.
" Why were you looking for us?" asked Trowa.
" We are here on a mission to help stop the war that is about to start," answered Setsuna as Heero slowly put away his gun.
" Why do you think we need YOUR help?" asked Wufei as he walked back.
" Hey, Wu-man's back," said Duo as Wufei walked up from behind him.
" Shut up Maxwell," ordered Wufei as he hit Duo on the head. " We don't need no help from some weak onnas. Anyway, that was a cheep shot."
" We don't think so, we know so," said Haruka as she was about to kill Wufei but was stopped by Michiru.
" Well, how do we know we can trust you?" demanded Heero suspiciously.
" That's your call," said Michiru, speaking for the first time.
" Well, I think we can trust them," said Quatre with a smile.
" Good," Setsuna replied. " What about you guys?"
She received 3 nods and a 'hn'.
" Can you please tell us your names?" asked Trowa.
" My name is Michiru, this is Usagi, Haruka and Setsuna."
" My name is Trowa, this is Quatre, Duo, Wufei and as you already know, Heero."
" Well, I suggest we go back to my place and continue our little talk," suggested Quatre.
" Okay, lead the way," Usagi replied as the whole gang left for Quatre's house.
(Quatre's House)
" We're here!" Quatre said as he entered the living room. " It's not big, but it's home."
" Not big?" asked Usagi as she looked around the GIGANTIC living room.
" It's impressive but not as big as your old 'house'," Michiru said.
" Yeah, I guess your right," replied Usagi.
" Old house?" asked Heero.
" Um, yeah, we moved," Michiru said.
" Moved from where?" asked Trowa.
" That's none of your business," Haruka snapped.
" Baka onnas," muttered Wufei.
" WOMAN AREN'T WEAK OR STUPID!!" cried Haruka as she kicked Wufei in the stomach and sent him flying across the air and through the wall.
" AHHHH!!!!" screamed Wufei.
" Wow, Wu-man just got his second flying lesson. He's learning quick," said Duo with a grin.
" SHUT THE FUCK UP MAXWELL!" Wufei shouted from the other side.
" Yeah, yeah," said Duo.
" Um...sorry about the wall Quatre," Setsuna apologized.
" Don't worry about it," Quatre replied.
*Sigh* " Haruka, you have got to be nicer to people," said Michiru.
" Ya, especially Wu-man there," added Duo. " I don't think he can live another lesson."
" My name isn't Wu-man!" shouted Wufei as he slowly limped back to the group.
" Well I think Wu-man fits you just fine," muttered Haruka as Wufei glared at her.
" Whatever Wu-man," Duo replied back.
" MAXWELL!" Wufei shouted before he knocked Duo unconscious.
" Hey! I liked that guy he's seemed to be one of the two normal people in your group," Usagi said as she knocked Wufei out, which surprised everyone.
" Um, why don't we have some tea in the kitchen," suggested Quatre just to make sure no one else end up unconscious on the floor.
" I agree," said Setsuna as she put her hands around Quatre's arm. His face went tomato red
as he led them to the kitchen.
" HHHHHEEEEEEEEEERRRRROOOOO!!!!!" came a loud wail/shriek. That stopped the gang dead
in their tracks and it woke up both Duo and Wufei.
" Ugh! My ears!" Duo shouted as he clutched his ears.
" Oh, hi Relena," Heero said without even having to turn around.
" Hi Heero!" Relena said back before she gave him a hug.
" Wow, and people say I'm loud," Usagi muttered.
" Hey, who are you people?" snapped Relena as she heard what Usagi said.
" I was just about to ask you the same thing," Usagi snapped back.
" Now cut it out you two," ordered Heero. " Relena, this is Usagi, Setsuna and Haruka."
" Hi," all of them said at once.
" Usagi, Setsuna, Haruka, this is Relena," said Heero.
" Hi," said Relena as she gave them a small curtsy.
" Now that everyone's settled down, how about that tea?" asked Quatre and they all entered
the kitchen.
(Tokyo)
" Hey! Mamoru!" Rei called from behind as she ran up to her new boyfriend. As Mamoru turned
around, Rei gave him a quick kiss and asked, " You wanted to talk to me?"
" Ya, actually I did," Mamoru replied as he led Rei to a bench near the center of the park.
" Ya, what is it?" asked Rei.
" I think I figured out where they went."
" But does it matter? Usagi is gone, what is the point in looking for her?"
" We need to find her, haven't you realized it yet? We need her to fight all the negaverse, we
can't beat them without her."
" You still love her don't you?"
" What? No, of course not! I love you."
" Rei, you know he's right," a voice said from behind as Ami, Makoto and Minako walked towards the
couple.
" No! We don't need that klutz! We can manage ourselves!" Rei shouted with fury.
" Rei, you know that's not true," Makoto replied. " Now Mamoru, where do you think she is?"
" Well, a while ago, when Michiru was talking to Haruka, I happened to hear them mention something about another dimension," said Mamoru.
" But how will we get there?" asked Ami.
" I don't know, maybe we can try and concentrate all of our powers on Usagi," suggested Mamoru.
" And do the planet teleport..." said Ami, finishing the sentence.
" Ya, let's try that," Makoto agreed. " But will we be strong enough without Sailormoon?"
" I say we give it a shot," said Minako.
" Well, I'm in," said Ami.
" Okay, what about you Rei?" asked Makoto.
" Fine, but it's only for the good of the Earth," Rei replied with a sigh.
" Good, then we'll meet here at the park again, tomorrow," said Mamoru.
" Thankfully it's a weekend," said Ami.
" Ya, you got that right!" replied Makoto.
" But, I still need to read more in the book were doing for English, I'm only ten chapters ahead,"
complained Ami, and everyone sweatdropped at that.
" What?" asked Ami.
(G.W dimension)
" So, you say there is going to be a war in a few years?" asked Quatre.
" Yes," replied Setsuna.
" How do you know that?" asked Trowa.
" I have my ways," answered Setsuna as Heero stared at her and thought, 'I don't trust these
new people.'
" You'll just have to trust us," Michiru says this when she saw the look on Heero's face.
" Well we don't really care what you do, we know there is going to be a war. We're just telling
you to be prepare for it. Besides you can't stop this war without us," Haruka stated.
" Oh?" Duo questioned.
" Well, I didn't think we should even be telling you this in the first place, but they out-numbered me," Haruka retorted.
" It's okay Haruka, there's nothing to worry about," said Michiru.
" I'm getting tired," complained Usagi with a yawn.
" Where are you planning on staying?" asked Quatre.
" In a hotel I guess," Michiru replied.
" Actually, you know what, I think Heero has an extra room in where he is staying, Usagi, why
don't you stay with him?" Quatre suggested.
"..."
" Um...Sure," replied Usagi in an unsure tone.
" But..." started Relena.
" Okay, fine with me," replied Heero coldly.
" And Michiru can stay with me, if that's okay with you Michiru," suggested Trowa.
" Sure, thank you Trowa," said Michiru with a smile.
" You can stay with me Setsuna," said Quatre with a smile.
" Thank you, your very kind," replied Setsuna which caused Quatre to blush a bit.
" We don't need to stay with you, we can find our own place to stay," snapped Haruka.
" It's harder than you think, there's a lot of people here and not many hotels," Trowa informed them.
" So, Haruka, I guess you're stuck with Wu-man there. I'd like you to come with me, but I ain't got any room," said Duo with an evil grin.
" WHAT?!?!" shouted Haruka and Wufei at the same time.
" You have got to be kidding! I'm NOT staying with that guy," Haruka stated.
" This is injustice! Why do I have to share a apartment with Her?" shouted Wufei.
" Calm down, both of you! It's only until they find a hotel room," Heero said with a very annoyed voice.
" But that's going to take FOREVER!" complained Wufei.
" Anyway, it's easier that way, we can all go to school together," added Duo.
" NO WAY!!!" shouted Haruka and Wufei in unison.
" EVERYONE!!! SHUT UP!!!" shouted Heero very, very pissed off. " Usagi will stay with me, Setsuna will stay with Quatre, Michiru will stay Trowa and Haruka will stay with Wufei."
" No way," said Haruka flatly. " Why can't I just stay here, there seems to be enough room."
" Yes, it is big," admitted Quatre. " But when you have 29 sisters, the house is just barely big enough. Sorry..."
Damn.
'If Usagi stays with Heero, how can I be sure she wouldn't make a move on him,' thought Relena.
" Umm...Wufei could we umm... switch? So Haruka and I would be at the same place and it wouldn't be a problem anymore," Usagi suggested, she wasn't ready to share an apartment room with a guy after the incident with Mamoru.
'Hooray!!!,' thought Relena. " Yeah... I think that is a good idea."
" Relena, stay out of this, just leave it. I don't have time for all this trouble. It's already messed up enough," ordered Heero.
" Hey, Usagi, if you want, I can kill Wufei and we can stay at his house," Haruka suggested with a grin.
" Hey!" cried Wufei.
" It's alright, just leave it," sighed Usagi
" So that's that," said Heero. " Come on Usagi, let's go."
" Ya, it's getting late," said Trowa. " Let's go too Michiru."
" Okay," said Michiru as she got up and left with Trowa after waving good bye to the others. Then Heero left after them along with Usagi.
" Fine then, I'm going too," said Relena.
" I'll go with ya," said Duo as he went with Relena.
" I guess I'm stuck with you after all," said Wufei with a sigh and he then left with Haruka. Actually, Haruka left with him only after he agreed to not talk to her, not look at her or do anything that related to her. He obviously agreed.
" Not that that's settled, let's get some sleep," said Quatre with a smile.
" Where do I sleep?" asked Setsuna.
" Your room is right there," said Quatre pointing to a room on the other side of the living room.
" Thank you," said Setsuna with a smile. " Goodnight Quatre."
" Goodnight," replied Quatre and walked to his room.
(Tokyo)
" Hey Mamoru," said Ami as the four inner scouts arrived at the park to find Mamoru sitting on a bench.
" Hey guys," replied Mamoru in sad tone.
" What's wrong Mamo-chan?" asked Rei concerned.
" Well....I...." Mamoru trailed off as he stare at the folded piece of paper in his hands.
" Well spit it out already!" demanded Minako even though she was nervous herself.
" I found this under my door last night, when I got home."
" Is that..." started Ami.
" A note from Usagi?" finished Makoto.
" Yes, it is." With that, Mamoru passed it to the other girls.
The note read:
Dear Mamoru:
I have left this you, this life and world in hopes to find a new one. Call this running away, call me a baby, I don't care, but by the time you read this, I will be long gone. Don't even bother to look for me, but hey, why would you right? And after this, you will never have to hear from me again, but I have one thing to ask of you. Accept or not, it's your choice, but my last request is for you to tell my family and Naru that I am safe. Tell them that there is nothing to worry about for I am with trusted people. That is all. Goodbye.
Usagi Tsukino
" Oh Usagi..." whispered Ami sadly.
" So sorry..." was heard from Minako while Makoto just stood there.
" I can believe she's selfish enough to just leave like that!" cried Rei," Doesn't she care about this world anymore? What about the Negaverse?!" At this, she was rewarded by three glares and a shock look from Mamoru.
" Rei! How could you?!" shouted Ami, tears shining in her eyes.
" What?! What did I do?"
" This is-" started Makoto, who looked like she was about to kill someone, but was cut off by Mamoru.
" So, are you girls ready to try out our little experiment and see if we can find Usagi?"
Sigh. " Yeah, we're all ready," replied Minako as she lay a hand on Makoto's shoulder. That seemed to relax the taller youth, slightly. Without another word, they headed for Mamoru's apartment. On their way there, unknownst among the five, they were followed by another.
(Mamoru's Apartment)
Once they got there, they all pulled out their henshin sticks and were all just about to transfrom when there was a loud knock on the door. Mamoru cast an uncertain look towards the other four. They were about to just ignore the knock when the person outside knocked/banged the door again. " Open up! I know your in there!" It was Naru. Mamoru and the others realized this and decided to let the girl in before she broke down the door.
" Um...Naru...what a surprise..." said Mamoru as he opened the door, nervously eyeing the others behind him as he closed the door behind the girl. " What may I do for you?" He asked as he once again turned to face the girl.
" I'm here about Usagi. Where is she?! What did you guy do to her?!" cried Naru as she grabbed Mamoru's shirt collar.
" I...We...We did..." stutter Mamoru, but he was unable to continue at the extreme sadness in the eyes that stared into his.
Suddenly, the girl that was practically strangling him, completely crumbled before his eyes. She loosened her grip on his shirt and collapsed onto the ground crying. " What...where...where is Usagi-chan? Oh Usagi..." Was all that was heard in the quiet room, between the girls sobs.
" Oh Naru..." Ami said quietly as she knelt down and gently pulled the sobbing girl into her arms.
" Ami..." With that, Naru threw herself onto Ami and cried her heart out. The other four who was watching, also had tears shining in their eyes. Even Rei.
Once Naru's tears finally subsided, she looked into Ami's eyes and broke the silence that had settled onto the room.
" Where is Usagi? Please tell me Ami, I know you know..."
" Well...Usagi is...um...." started Ami, unsure of how to tell the girl.
" She's gone." It was finished by Makoto.
" Gone? What do you mean?"
" She left..." Minako replied. " Show her the note."
" Alright." With that, Ami handed the note to Naru. The group watched as the group silently read it. Slowly, her eyes widdened until it could no further. Suddenly, she turned to Mamoru, her eyes narrowed, and demanded," What does she mean?!"
" Well I..."
" I think we should tell her," said Minako. " She deserves to know."
" But..."
" No Mamo-chan, she's right..." Rei said, speaking for the first time. " I'll tell her..." Then Rei started telling Naru about the events at the park. When she finished, Naru's eyes were larger than humanly possible. Shock and disbelieve showing clear in them. She just kept staring at the five, shaking her head back and forth say something that was too hard for the others to hear. Suddenly...
" HOW COULD YOU!!!" With that, Naru turned around, yanked open the door and dashed out into the hall. Her sobs echoing clearly down the hall, causing people to open their doors and peek outside. Soon though, the sound was lost and the people all went back to their own lives.
Back in the apartment room, the five who were left behind, just started at the open door until Mamoru shook himself out of his trance and finally closed it. Turning around he said," Is everyone ready to go?" Four silent nods, still slightly shaken from the earlier out break. But without another word, everyone transformed and linked hands forming a small circle.
" Everyone, concentrate on Usagi," directed Mamoru. The five heads bowed as the groupd concentrated and in a flash of blinding white light, the room was deserted leaving behind a single piece of white paper in where the group had currently occupied.
(G.W dimension)
" Thanks for letting me stay with you Heero," said Usagi with a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.
" You're welcome," replied Heero.
" Um, how far more?"
" It's just past the park."
" Oh, is that the park?"
" Yeah."
" Wow, these flowers are beautiful," gasped Usagi as she bent and sniffed on of the tulips.
" Ya, I come here sometimes to think."
" About what?"
" Just stuff."
" I sometimes do that too."
" What do you think about?"
" My...friends." 'Oh Mamoru.'
" Oh, I never really had many myself." 'Why am I telling her these things...I barely even know her and yet I feel like I want her to know everything about me...'
" Why not?"
" Well I was never really the social type," said Heero as he put his arm on her shoulders when he felt her shiver. He would have offered her his coat, but he didn't have any... (Spandex and tanktop, as usual) Usagi looked at him, he looked straight ahead. Usagi put her head on his shoulder. All of a sudden, there was a blinding flash of light and Usagi lost her balance for a moment and fell down. Mamoru and the other scouts appeared, then they all detransformed.
" Are we in the right place?" asked Rei.
" Usagi, are you alright?" asked Heero as he helped her up.
" Usagi? Is that you?" asked Mamoru.
" What?" exclaimed Usagi as her vision came into focus. " Ma-Mamoru?"
" Usagi!" shouted Ami as she ran up to her along with the others.
" What do you want with Usagi?" snapped Heero as he protectively stepped in front of Usagi.
" Who are you?" asked Makoto getting into fighting stance.
" None of your business," said Heero as he made a move for his gun.
" Heero, it's okay," Usagi reassured him and put a hand on his shoulder letting him know not to take out his gun. " I know these people. What do you guys want?"
" We want you to come back to Tokyo with us," Minako blurted out.
" Why should I!" demanded Usagi as she felt her anger rising.
" Listen to me," said Mamoru as he grabbed her shoulders. " We need you to protect the people in Tokyo."
" What?" Heero asked very confused. Only to be ignored.
" Why don't you guys protect the people?" asked Usagi who was now starting to understand the reason they were her. 'I can't believe them...'
" You know very well that we can't do it on our own. Besides, your our leader," said Ami.
" Well I don't want to be your leader anymore! Rei can be your leader! She's always wanted to be!" shouted Usagi. Then in a much calmer and quieter voice she said, " Heero, let's go."
Heero put a hand on her shoulder and walked away with Usagi, but not before giving a hard stare to all of them.
" Fine, be that way! Like we really need you!" Rei shouted after them.
" Who are they?" Heero asked Usagi once they were far enough away from hearing distance.
" They were my friends...from before," said Usagi as she tried to keep her unshed tears back.
" It's okay, we're almost there," said Heero, he gave her shoulder a small squeeze then they continued their walked silently to his apartment.
(Back Over To The Group)
" How could she just forget who she really is and leave us like this?" demaded Rei, frustrated.
" Rei, it's not her fault, she's been through a lot lately," said Mamoru as he thought of all the fun times he had had with Usagi. 'How could I have been such a fool? Rei is nice, pretty and smart, but she's just not the right person for me. I like her but I can't love her. How could I have not realized this sooner? Usagi is the one that I truly love and had never stopped loving since. How could I have not realized that until now? I'm such an idiot.'
(Heero's apartment)
" Here we are," said Heero as he opened the door of his apartment.
" Thanks," Usagi said as she went inside and Heero closed the door behind her. 'It's so...empty...there's barely anything in here. It's like he barely even comes here.'
" Your room is over there and mine will be right there," said Heero as he pointed to a room and then another one just two doors over.
" Thanks, goodnight."
" Goodnight." And with that, the two went to their rooms and closed the door. Heero sat on his bed and thought about what had happened at the park. The minute Usagi entered her room, she slid to the floor with her back against the door and cried. Letting all her tears run freely down her cheeks. She really missed the times she had had with the inner scouts and...and with Mamoru. 'Oh maybe I should have left with them...'
" Usagi, are you okay? " asked Heero suddenly from the other side of the door. Concern was audiable in his voice. He had come upon hearing her soft sobs.
She straightened out as much as she could and said," I'm fine."
"K, night," Heero said reluclantly from out in the hall.
'Why am I worried about her? I have no need for emotions. Emotions are nothing but a mere distraction!'
Heero thought this over as he went back to his room.
(Back At The Park)
" Since it's obvious she's not coming back with us, we might as well just leave without her," Rei said with a sigh.
" But we can't just leave her here, she doesn't know anyone," Makoto put in.
" She seemed to know that guy she was with pretty well enough," Rei bit back.
'Yeah, who was that guy anyway?' Mamoru thought.
" Let's just go! Come on!!!" Rei urged. The scouts linked hands at that moment and put their powers together.
'We can't go back without Usagi!!' thought Mamoru panicked, but before he could say anything, there was a flash of light and they were gone.
