Fire Dragon "Hello my dear readers, I'm glad to
introduce ch 16 of this story. So enjoy.
~~Ch 9 Coming back home~~
~The training part 2~
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
One by one the girls loosed their concentration and fell back to the ground.
"What's that?" Goten turned to look at his older brother, his face filled with worry.
"I don't know, but we are gonna find out." The two guys ran to the other side of the house where Goku and Usagi were, with the girls hot in their trail.
"Do you think is a new enemy?" Ami took her computer out, trying to keep up with them.
"I…don't…puff…think…so." Minako answered in between gasps.
"It's…puff…probably…the Odango…that…fell…puff…flat on …puff…her fa…ce." Rei ran behind them trying to catch her breath and laughing with Minako.
"Well, if you two don't hurry," Makoto ran ahead of Minako and Rei "We're never gonna find out." As they approached to the spot the scream became louder. However it wasn't a painful or a scaring kind of scream, but a steady kind of scream, one that Gohan new all too well.
Usagi was surrounded by a yellow aura trying to power up.
"Wow, and you say it's her first time doing this?" Gohan said impressed. Goku was in front of Usagi, fists clenched, encouraging her. Usagi stood there, her fists clenched as well and eyes shut, glowing and yelling at the top of her lungs.
"What's happening?" Rei said ready to jump to help Usagi.
"Nothing, just wait and see." Gohan said as a matter of fact smirking proudly in satisfaction at his little sister. Seconds later something wrong happened to Usagi's aura, it changed from yellow to silver and back again.
"Dad, what's that?" Gohan frowned at the peculiarity.
"Not now Gohan." Goku said through clenched teeth, obviously he hadn't noticed what had happened to her aura. "Come on, Usa. Just a little bit more." He kept encouraging her.
Usagi felt like burning. Her body shivered, and she started to cold sweat. This was totally different than when she had used the crystal. When using it, she had given energy, and the crystal had amplified it. It was more like a draining. Right now she felt like growing. Every single muscle tensed, she could feel the power running though her body, first hot then cold. Usagi felt that if she wasn't able to release it, she was going to explode.
"Usa…bit…more." Usagi could only barely make up what her father said. Her FATHER!?! She remembered what was going on and where she was, however these same thoughts scared her. She remembered Kenji, and Ikuko. She saw Shingo's face, Motoki's, Luna's, and Naru's, all of them smiling, waiting for her to come back. Her heart ached at the remembrance. The images swirled around her, making her dizzy. The imagines swirled around her, now she could see Chichi hugging her, Goku telling her how proud he was of her, Gohan giving her the bunny, and Goten helping teach her friends how to fly. She loved this people, but she felt that she was betraying her other family and friends. She felt so confused and desperately started to sob.
"WHAT?!?" Goku was confused, his daughter was crying while powering up! *I know she should be overwhelmed, but she shouldn't be crying* Goku frowned worrying.
Goten was getting scared by the second "You should make her stop dad, something is wrong." He yelled.
"I know. Usagi, listen to me. Let it all go slowly." Goku instructed Usagi, trying to calm her.
"Lis…me…let…go…slowly." She let it go compelled by her father's words. All the energy left so fast that she felt her body was being torn in two. She snapped her eyes open, and passed out.
~~~$@~~~$@
Mamoru could hear a scream in his head. However it couldn't be possible since he was alone sparring with his father. 'Help.' Mamoru turned his head to find out where the voice was coming from, but couldn't see anything except for the empty chamber. THUMP! Mamoru fell to his knees grabbing his hurting stomach.
"Pay attention brat!!!" Said a very pissed Vegeta. "Now stand up and fight!" Mamoru shook his head to clear it of the unwanted thoughts that kept coming to his head. He stood up, and narrowing his eyes, he charged again against his father.
~~~$@~~~$@
"What happened to her!?" Rei yelled darting to where Usagi had fallen.
"I don't know. She just started crying like that. I have no idea of what happened." Goku said panicking.
"It's none of your fault." Usagi opened her eyes giving a small smile to reassure everybody. "I just go a little distracted that's all." Goku helped her to her feet taking her inside so she could sit down.
"Here, drink this." Makoto handed Usagi a glass of water. Gratefully, Usagi took the glass and drank the water in one gulp.
"So, what happened, why where you crying then." Goten asked puzzled.
"I-I don't know… I just remembered all what have happened in this couple of days, and that I miss my… my parents in the other world. It's…it's just too much for me right now. I feel guilty that I am having such a great time with you guys and Ikuko and Kenji were left alone over there. And that I couldn't even say good-bye to them when I left. They must be worried sick about me." Usagi sobbed.
"Calm down Odango. Don't worry about them." Rei tried to comfort Usagi. "Remember when you discovered that Queen Serenity was your mother. Well, you loved her as much as you loved them, so this is the same thing. You just have to adjust at having two families." Rei smiled sweetly and hugged her. (Very unlike her)
"Yeah, double trouble." Makoto winked at her.
"Just imagine twice as X-mas presents every year!!!" Minako jumped giving them the famous Sailor V pose.
"Remember that Setsuna will make it seem that you had gone to a field trip, they will not worry about your absence." Ami smiled tenderly to Usagi.
*I can see that they are good friends and care a lot about her.* Gohan thought. *I see that all the teasing between them is part of their friendship. *
Goku smiled to all of them. "Well, lets clean up. Your mother will be here in a matter of seconds." Goku said fearing the wrath of his wife when she became angry if she found them like that. Usagi sprang to her feet and buried herself in Goku's arms.
"Thank you for understanding." Usagi hugged Goku even harder crying her heart out.
"Don't worry kiddo, just remember that no matter what, we are still your family." Goku said misty-eyed. Goten shot Gohan a We-better-get-out-before-we-start-crying-in-front-of-the-girls look. Gohan slowly nodded and followed Goten outside, not before looking at the girls who they themselves were sniffing and taking out small handkerchiefs.

Fire Dragon walks into the stage with shame on her face "Yeah, yeah, I know that this chapter was really tiny, BUT I promise that next chapter will be specially long. In chapter 10 we will discover who…humph!"
-A hand is covering FD's mouth-
Water Dragon "You big oaf!!! You almost gave away our 'special' chapter to our readers!!!"
Fire Dragon "Well, wasn't that the idea?" Looks at Water Dragon with 'innocent eyes'.
Water Dragon "Of course not! They have to review and keep reading if they want to know what happens in chapter 10!"
Fire Dragon "Oh, ok." Turns to readers and whispers "You know I tried, right? So if you want to have the extra long chapter, remember to review. Ja ne."
