Chapter Thirteen: Dreams of Angels Part Two

Trowa walked towards Wufei room and was almost ran over by Usagi. She saw him and hugged him tightly, "Trowa..."

"Nani? What's wrong, Usagi-hime?"

Usagi leaned close to him, "Trowa, I'm scared."

Trowa put his arms around her and held her small frame close to his. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Hai.."

Trowa with his arms still around her led her away from the halls and towards the back door. "Do you want to talk outside?"

"Hai," Usagi responded her mind far away.

"Daijobu, ka?" Trowa asked in concern.

Usagi nodded. "Hai, daijobu. "Trowa-san?"

"Hai, Usagi-hime?" He asked as he opened the door and gently led her through it.

"You heard what Chibiusa said about Wufei and I, ne?"

"Hai."

"Did you believe her?"

Trowa thought about his answer for a moment. "It's none of my business what you do, Usagi. No matter what I'll always be here for you."

Usagi smiled, "Arigato, Trowa-chan."

Hiiro and heard the two walk by his bathroom and he washed his hair out dried it with a towel. He silently followed ignoring the tendrils of hair that were plastered to his forehead and dripping water down his face. 'Milardo may try to attack her again. I won't let him succeed.'He followed the distracted couple hiding inside open doors when ever one of the two looked back.

Usagi walked with Trowa to a tree and leaned against it closing her eyes. "Trowa-chan?"

"Hai?"

"I... I may... I may be..."

Hiiro who had successfully jumped out of a window lightly landed in the tree the two were talking under. He stood still for a moment and waited for the tree branch to stop shaking. Satisfied with the tree returning to normal he peered down through the leafy foilage and watched the two. As Usagi stuttered he instantly realized what she was going to say and his eyes narrowed. He wouldn't let this go by. All sensible thoughts flew out the window as fury took him over.

"What are you saying, Usagi-hime?"

"Trowa-san, I may be pregnant," She finally admitted eyes locked on the ground.

Trowa's one visible emerald eye widened. "Honto?"

Usagi nodded, "Hai, I told Wufei demo now I don't think it was the right thing to do..."

"Why are you letting me know this, Usagi-hime?"

"Because I trust you, Trowa-chan. I need your advice. I'm not sure what to do and I'm scared..."

Trowa pulled her into his arms and held her tightly to him letting his cheek lie against her white hair. "Don't be scared, Usagi-chan." He gently kissed her head holding her close. "Aishiteru, Usagi."

Usagi pulled away, "Nande?"

Trowa didn't answer and attempted to pull her back into his arms. "Usagi-hime..."

"Nande, Trowa? I'm not special. I'm not at all. I'm a normal person like the rest of you."

Trowa shook his head, "I don't believe that. You're special to us all Usagi. You're the purest person I've ever met besides Quatre."

Usagi smiled sadly wind blowing her white hair behind her revealing the tears in her eyes. "You're wrong. I'm not pure. I've killed before, Trowa-chan. I've killed youma and Cardians, and Droids, and hundreds of others. I exiled people off of Earth and into space just because they didn't believe the way I did. I'm not pure or good or any of the things you claim."

"It doesn't matter, Usagi-chan. You didn't want to do any of those things, ne?"

Usagi shook her head, "Iie..."

"So you did it because you had to. You should know about us too. I need to talk to the others before I tell you though..."

Usagi wiped a tear away. "What do you mean?"

"I'll be back soon, Usagi. I'm going to talk to the others. You've told us all about you and you deserve to know who you're staying with." He leaned forward and gently kissed her. Her returning kiss was hesitant but still sweet. He leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, "I just hope you don't hate me when the truth is revealed."

"I could never hate you, Trowa..."

"I'll be back shortly. Wait here unless you see anything suspicious, then go inside and find one of the others."

Usagi nodded, "Hai, Trowa..."

He smiled softly at her before walking away. 'Gomen, Usagi-hime but I have to ask the others first. We're a team and no matter how much I love you I can't turn my back on them.'

Usagi watched him re-enter the house and leaned against the tree. "I'm still scared... if I do get pregnant again and the cycle starts over... I couldn't bear to lose any of them. I love them all, Quatre, Trowa, Duo, Wufei, and Hiiro. I don't want to leave them or have them leave me. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm tired of fighting and dying and being betrayed. I just want to stop..."

"Do you want to die?" Asked a soft emotionless voice.

Usagi looked up startled and saw Hiiro watching her. "Iie..."

"Good."

"Hiiro-chan?"

"Hmm?"

"Why are you here?"

"To protect you."

"How long were you in that tree?"

"..."

"You heard what I told Trowa, didn't you?"

"Hai."

"So do you hate me now?"

"Nande?"

"Because of what I did with Fei-chan..."

"Iie."

"Nande?"

"Because contrary to Quatre's beliefs you're not a Goddess. You're a normal human being who makes mistakes and-" He was silenced as Usagi threw herself and him hugging him tightly and kissing him.

"Arigato."

Hiiro carefully weighed his options. On one hand he could ask why Usagi had thanked him and on the other he could continue kissing the oh so perfect mouth of hers. He decided on the latter as his arms circled her back holding her securely to him. "Usa-chan," He whispered softly a trace of emotion in his voice.

Usagi looked up into his eyes, "Hai, Hiiro?"

"Ai... aish.. aishiteru, Usa-chan."

Usagi stared up at him her blue eyes widening. "Hiiro...." She pulled his head down towards her and gently kissed him.

Hiiro moved them slightly so Usagi's back was leaning against the tree. His lips never left hers and he continued the sweet teasing kiss. At the moment he cared about nothing but the girl in front of him.

Usagi let her eyes close. "Hiiro, don't leave me," she whispered letting her hands link behind his back lying her head against his chest. "I don't want to be pregnant," she admitted in a soft whisper.

Hiiro's jaw clenched slightly but he made sure Usagi didn't notice. "I won't leave you, Usa-chan. I promise to protect you, always."

Usagi let a faint smile appear on her lips. "I don't want protection. I just don't want you to leave me right now."

Hiiro nodded slightly. He would speak to Wufei later. Right now all that mattered was Usagi. "Hai, Usa-chan. I won't leave until you wish me to do so."

Usagi closed her eyes and leaned against him, "Arigato, Hii-chan." She smiled and rubbed her head against his chest like a cat. 'Why is he acting so different? I didn't know he loved me too... I know the Senshi said so demo...'

Hiiro ignored the desire to kiss her again and merely held her as his thoughts ran rampant thoughout his mind. 'Why did I tell her that? I shouldn't even be here and yet... I don't want to leave her. I really do love her and I'll kill Wufei for making her scared.'

"Hii-chan?"

"Hai?"

"I'm getting cold."

"Do you want to go back inside?"

"Iie, it's pretty out here." She pulled him closer to her almost smashing her into the tree. "I just want you close."

Hiiro shook his head, "Iie."

Usagi hid her disappointment well. "Do you want me to leave you, Hiiro?"

"Iie." He gently kissed her cheek.

"Nande?"

"Because you'll get sick out here. We're going back inside and you're going to bed."

"Demo..."

"I'll sit by your side while you sleep if you wish."

"Honto?"

"Hai."

"Why are you acting so different, Hii-chan?"

"..."

"Not going to tell me, ne?"

"Hnn."

"Okay, let's go then, k?"

"Hai."

Trowa decided to look for Quatre first and saw the blonde fast asleep in his room. "Quatre?"

The blonde merely whimpered in his sleep and turned. "Grodess," he mumbled into his pillow.

Trowa sighed and entered the room gently shaking his friend. "Wake up, Quatre."

Quatre opened his eyes to slits and studied Trowa. "Trowa?"

"Hai."

"What are you doing here?"

"Waking you up."

"Nande?"

"I want to tell Usagi-san who we really are."

Quatre's eyes widened all drowsiness vanishing. "Demo!"

Trowa shook his head in response to the other boy's complaints. "She deserves to know, Quatre."

Quatre bit his lip for a moment and ndoded, "Hai... demo, Trowa... I couldn't stand for her to hate me."

"She won't, Quatre. She's not that kind of person."

Quatre nodded slightly, "I know she isn't... demo Trowa she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't want anything to change between us."

Trowa debated within himself for a moment over the decision of telling Quatre that Usagi may become pregnant. 'Iie, I'll let her tell him if she wishes. I won't betray the trust she's given me.'

Quatre got out of bed, "I'll find Wufei you find Hiiro and Duo, okay?"

Trowa nodded and left the room. 'It wouldn't have been a good idea for me to see Wufei right now anyways...'

Wufei scowled. Everywhere he looked there was bright pink. "Where is this?"

"Greetings, Wufei."

Wufei glared at a raven-haired girl with dark violet eyes. "Who are you, Onna?"

"My name is Rei: Senshi of Mars."

"Senshi?"

"Hai."

"One of Usagi-chan's?"

Rei smiled raising an eyebrow, "Hai, protector of Usagi. We know what you did to her, you know."

Wufei scowled, "What do you mean by that?"

"You're lucky, the Haruka-san there doesn't realize it yet. She'd kill you for sure for touching Usagi like that."

Wufei frowned, "So you here to fight me over it, Onna?"

"My name is Rei and Iie I'm not. I believe Usagi-chan needs someone like you around to keep her in shape."

He raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that, Onna?"

Rei scowled at him her eyes filling with anger. "Fire SOUL!"

Wufei dodged the flames. "Baka," he snorted.

She glared at him another moment, "I don't know WHY I thought you'd be a good match for odango atama..."

"Odango atama?"

"Usagi-chan."

"You call her that?"

"Hai. Why did you do it?"

"I'm not telling you, weak Onna."

"Burning Mandala!"

Wufei easily dodged the rings of fire. "Why are you here?"

"To tell you to take care of my best friend."

Wufei scowled, "Who says I'm going to get together with that onna?"

Rei glared at him preparing another attack, "You love her, ne?"

Wufei snorted, "Iie."

"Don't lie. We can see everything."

"So why did you ask, baka?"

Rei's eyes narrowed more. "Maybe I should be cheering that Hiiro guy on instead of you."

Wufei frowned, "Yui has interest in Usagi-chan?"

Rei smirked. The Chinese boy hadn't even realized his slip. " Hai, he loves her just as all of the others do."

Wufei scowled deeply. "Yui can't love anyone. He's only a soldier."

"Like you?"

"I am justice."

Rei shook her head, "You really don't stand a chance when you can't even admit you love her to anyone else."

"I don't love that Onna."

"I don't believe you. You told her that you DID love her not even an hour ago. She heard you to by the way."

"... then why did she leave?"

"So you really DO care?"

"... Iie."

"You're pig-headed you know that?"

"You're a baka weak onna."

"Flame SNIPER!"

Wufei winced as he dodged the arrow and the heat of it burned him as it passed. "Usagi doesn't need anyone like me in her life."

"You're wrong."

Wufei snorted, "So you're telling me she needs a killer in her life?"

"She already has five of them doesn't she?" Rei snapped. She flushed and lowered her head, "Gomen, that was uncalled for. Don't underestimate her. She won't care about your pasts. Usagi is the purest person I've ever met and I bet you've ever met too."

"Get to the point."

"Fine, don't let pride get in your way of being happy with Usagi."

Wufei was about to retort when the bright pink world quickly vanished as he was shaken awake. "Nani?" He demanded glaring up at the person who had awoken him.

Quatre glared back at Wufei. Ever since he had found out about the Chinese pilot and Usagi he had loathed to be anywhere near the pilot of Shenlong. "We're telling Usagi-chan about who we are."

Wufei frowned, "Nande?"

"She deserves to know."

"That she's staying with killers, assassins?"

"We aren't that anymore...."

"We're close enough to being it. Hiiro still takes missions, ne?"

"Demo, Wufei..."

"Why do you want to tell her now?"

"Trowa wants to."

"What do you think, Winner?"

"I agree with Trowa. She's told us about her entire past she deserves to know ours too."

"Weakling."

"That may be so but at least I didn't do such a horrible thing to Usagi!" Quatre snapped.

Wufei turned startled eyeing the fuming blonde boy. 'Seems he's not such a push-over afterall.'

"You didn't even apologize to her, Wufei."

"Apologize for what?"

"She wasn't ready for something like that and you KNEW it." Quatre's voice still held an edge but he was no longer yelling.

"She was ready for it."

Quatre turned a murderous glint in his normally clear blue eyes. "Physically perhaps but not emotionally. Did you ever stop to think about what she felt?" Quatre shook his head, "You were probably worse then some animal to her."

The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed throughout the small room and Quatre stared at the furious Wufei startled One hand was pressed against his rapidly growing red cheek as Wufei glared at him. "I didn't hurt her," Wufei growled his eyes filled with fury. He turned on his heel and stalked out of the room.

Hiiro led the still shivering Usagi to her room and watched as she burrowed beneath the covers. He got up to go find Wufei when her small hand found his. "Don't go, Hii-chan."

Hiiro scowled but sat down. "Sleep."

"Will you leave if I do?"

"Iie."

Usagi smiled thankfully at him before closing her eyes. "Arigato, Hii-chan."

Hiiro watched the girl sleep and scowled. 'What am I doing? I acted like a complete fool. I can't be with her. She deserves someone whose life is actually worth something. I'm merely a soldier. I can't afford to act like that again. It must have been the shock of hearing she may be...' He let his eyes flicker to the sleeping girls stomach. He fought back the desire to put his hand there and search for movement. 'Baka.' He sighed and closed his eyes. If he couldn't leave he might as well sleep to.

"Hello, Hiiro-san."

Hiiro glared at a young girl that looked to be around twelve. Short dark purple hair fell to her chin and solemn deep purple eyes studied him. "Who are you?"

"My name is Hotaru or Sailor Saturn. You're taking good care of the Queen, Arigato."

"Why am I here?"

"Why don't you believe you're worthy of her?"

"I'm a soldier and she's a Queen."

"Not in the life you both live now. Don't hurt her by staying away."

"Do you know if she's pregnant or not?"

"Hai."

"Is she?"

"I can't tell you Setsuna-mama would be mad."

"So she may have Wufei's child..." He scowled the thought infuriated him.

"Hai."

"So what am I supposed to do about it?"

"No matter what happens stay by her side. You may think you're worthless in her eyes but she does love you."

"She can't love me. What about the others?"

Hotaru frowned slightly, "She loves them too..."

"So you're saying she loves us all?"

"Hai, each in different ways but she hasn't found them out yet."

"Can I leave now?"

"You can leave at any time, demo I think you should know something."

"Nani?"

"If you hurt her I'll kill you."

"..."

Trowa entered Usagi's room and saw Usagi sleeping and Hiiro sitting in a chair one hand clasping Usagi's. He scowled. 'What is he doing here with her?' He shook the soldier and stepped out of range. "Hiiro."

Hiiro's eyes snapped open, "Hai?"

"I need to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Quatre, Wufei, and Duo have to be present first. I need you to find Duo."

"... fine. Stay here with Usa-chan." Hiiro walked away and started his search for the braided one.

Trowa sat beside Usagi and gently took her hand. He was slightly at unease over the nickname Hiiro had given Usagi. "Usagi-hime," he whispered softly to her She smiled in her sleep and Trowa felt his lips respond in kind.

As he sat and waited his eyes drifted shut and he had the oddest sensation that Usagi was somehow putting him to sleep. He glanced around at the pure white world. "What is this?"

"It doesn't matter. My name is Makoto and I'm also Sailor Jupiter. We don't have much time before Hiiro comes back with Duo and wakes you up." Announced a girl with brown hair in top knot ponytail.

"What am I here for?"

"For me to speak to you. Listen something horrible has happened in this future and Usagi is going to blame herself when she finds out what it is though it WAS fated. Stay by her side no matter what and make sure she's never alone after this incident happens or she'll hurt herself again."

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"Iie, gomen. Take care of her though, okay? Her telling her past to you like that tells me she really cares for you. In our time she wouldn't even tell her best friend anything about her other life. Just protect her since I can't anymore. That's all I ask."

"Hai."

Makoto smiled, "Arigato," she whispered before vanishing.

Duo poked Trowa. "Hey, Tro-man get up," he pleaded poking the other boy with Usagi's hairbrush.

Trowa opened his eyes and saw that Quatre and Wufei were there to. Seeing Hiiro's silent nod he realized the others had agreed to let Usagi know their secret. He took a deep breath and gathered the courage to begin.
