Chapter Sixteen: The Insanity Continues: The Tale of Duo's Braid
Quatre instantly dropped to Usagi's side, "Usagi-san!"
Trowa frowned ever so faintly, "She's alright, Quatre she just fainted."
Quatre looked up tears pooling in his eyes. "Are you sure?"
Trowa nodded and turned to Hiiro his eyes almost glowing. "Usa-chan?"
Hiiro didn't move but Duo did. The braided boy tugged his braid out of his mouth and stared at Hiiro in open-mouthed horror. "Trowa calls you Usa-chan?!?"
Wufei scowled, "Baka, didn't you hear Yui earlier?"
Duo shook his head, "Not a word."
Quatre frowned as he cradled Usagi's head in his lap. "So you do care about her don't you, Hii-chan," he asked a trace of sarcasm showing in his voice.
Duo's eyes widened, "Ack! What do you all like Hiiro too or something?" He started to edge away but Wufei grabbed him by his braid. "Hey! Wu-man let go!"
Wufei growled fed up with Duo's lack of intelligence. "Listen, Maxwell," he demanded. "Usa-chan is the name Hiiro called Usagi."
Duo grinned, "You really like her don't you, Wu-man?"
Wufei growled deep in his throat. "Duo..."
Trowa knelt beside his blonde friend. Quatre looked up, "She won't wake up, Trowa..."
Duo grinned, "I know!"
Four sets of eyes turned on him. Two curious, one indifferent, and one furious. "Nani?" Quatre asked.
Duo smirked, "I know what Usagi needs to wake up."
"... and that is?" Hiiro asked with a slight frown not liking the look in Duo's eyes.
Duo grinned again, "A kiss from her Prince!" He announced a wide smile on his lips. "Now out of the way so I can wake her up."
Quatre frowned, "No way, Duo!"
Trowa almost shoved the younger boy away, "No, Quatre."
Hiiro contemplated pulling out his gun for a moment but decided against it as he grabbed Wufei's katana. "No one kisses, Usa-chan."
Duo froze and stared at Hiiro wide-eyed. "Not YOU too! Wu-man was enough of a shock but for the perfect soldier to love my Bunny... I JUST got used to Wu-man, Trowa, and Quatre liking her. You can't be serious. You've never even kissed anyone besides her that I'm aware of. You can't be in love, Hiiro!" His indigo eyes got all watery and he looked at Hiiro with hope, "Is it really true?"
Hiiro wsa about to answer with silence when he realized the quickest way of getting rid of Duo. "Hai, I love her." Duo let out an unearthly squeak and collapsed to the floor twitching. Hiiro glared at the boy before starting to kneel beside Usagi.
Quatre saw this and his eyes narrowed, "IIE! I won't let you kiss her, Hiiro. This is my mansion and if you even try it I'll kick you out!"
Trowa ignored the ranting blonde as he leaned down, "Usagi-hime?" She remained motionless and he let his gave fall to her lips. 'Should I?'
The sound of a sword being planted above his head changed his mind quickly. Green eyes swerved upwards to meet furious prussian blue. "Slowly back away from Usagi," Hiiro demanded in a soft voice.
Wufei scowled at the room and left. 'Baka's acting like that over one onna...' He sighed, 'Demo, I so wanted to join them a moment ago...'
"You."
Wufei looked up and saw a furious Seiya. "What do you want?"
"Where's Odango?"
"In there," He announced tilting his head towards the room of chaos.
"Where are you going?"
"To get smelling salts," Wufei replied over his shoulder before walking away.
Seiya scowled and entered the room. His eyes widened as he saw Hiiro with an almost insane smile on his face his eyes glowing an odd golden color as he attempted to slice and dice Trowa who was doing triple axels through the air trying to get to safety. Quatre was attempting to shove an out of it Duo out of the window. In the midst of all the chaos Usagi lay sleeping apparently immune to it all.
Hiiro pulled his katana out of the wall and whirled to where Seiya was. "Don't even THINK of touching her," he threatened the glowing golden eyes making him look like a demon.
Seiya gulped carefully weighing his life against protecting his odango. He swallowed nervously and entered the room ignoring the insane people around him. He knelt beside Usagi's side and gently stroked her cheek with his hand, "Wake up, Odango-chan."
Duo awoke to find himself half out of the window and Quatre valiantly trying to push the rest out as well. A golden glint was in the blonde's eyes and a crazy grin was on his lips. "... hey, Quatre-man what are you doing?"
Quatre giggled in delight, "Must get rid of Duo. Must have Goddess to myself. KILL my competition. Kill my enemies."
Duo chuckled weakly, "You're not serious are you, buddy? You don't want to kill me..."
"Kill enemies," Quatre repeated his eyes glowing more and more golden with each word.
Duo gulped, "Why do you look so... mean?"
**
Seiya scowled as Hiiro's katana sliced through the hair and cut off some stray stands of his hair. "HEY!"
Hiiro glared, "Stay away from her."
Seiya frowned, "None of you except Duo over there are acting normal..."
Duo yelped at the comment, "HELP! Quatre's trying to kill me!"
Quatre giggled again, "I'll never forgive you, Duo!"
"What did I do?" Whimpered Duo as he struggled to free himself from the crazed blonde.
"You tried to kiss my Goddess," Quatre responded.
Duo whimpered again, "Demo, Quatre who wouldn't try to kiss Bunny? She's gorgeous, and kind, and loving, and... NOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!"
Quatre smiled as he pulled the scissors out and Duo began to squirm in an attempt to free himself. "Without your braid she won't like you anymore..."
Duo struggled more, "LET GO! BUNNY HELP ME!!!"
This was apparently the wrong thing to do because a katana flew through the air and actually pinned Duo's braid to the wall. "Omae o Korosu, Duo," Hiiro chuckled with glee.
**
Wufei grabbed the bottle of smelling salts and rushed back to the room. Something was wrong he could almost smell it in the air. "What the....?"
A flashing pair of dark blue eyes turned his way. "So you weren't affected?"
Wufei dropped into a fighting stance as Ail stood in front of him apparently amused and blocking the entrance to the room. "What are you doing, weakling?"
Ail smiled his blue hair almost seeming to hover in the air, "I'm letting my competition kill each other of course. Usagi-chan is MINE. I don't care if she is Sailor Moon I just won't let Ann find out..."
Wufei scowled darkly, "Leave Usagi-chan out of this."
Ail raised an eyebrow, "Usagi-chan? You dare call her that?" His blue eyes flashed with fury and three pairs of golden eyes began to glow brightly.
Hiiro came out of the room first wielding his katana which had several long auburn hairs wrapped around it. "Omae o Korosu, Wufei."
Wufei scowled, "What's wrong with you, Yui? You're letting this weakling control you?"
Trowa flipped out of the room a minute later his eyes locked on Wufei. "I won't forgive you for what you did to Usagi-hime. Making her pregnant was a big tactical error."
Ail gasped, "Pregnant? My... Usagi-chan?" His blue eyes hardened to look like sapphires. "NO ONE TOUCHES MY USAGI LIKE THAT! KILL!" he demanded.
A crazed Quatre ran out of the room giggling and tackled Wufei as he pulled out a small gun from his pocket. "Must destroy all competition. All enemies must be stopped so says Master Ail."
Wufei growled, "You're all weak! How could you let that girly boy control you? Get a hold of yourselves! INJUSTICE!"
Haruka snatched the smelling salts out of the ranting Wufei's hands as she walked by and entered the room where Usagi lay still. She knelt beside the girl and smiled softly. 'She's so kawaii at times,' she thought with a chuckle. She uncapped the bottle and waved it beneath Usagi's nose.
Usagi's nose wrinkled and she turned her head coughing. "What was that?"
"You're awake."
"Ruka-chan!"
"Something you want to tell me, Koneko-chan?"
Usagi felt the heat on her cheeks and shook her head. "Ummm no?"
"Wrong answer."
Usagi shrunk, "What did they tell you?"
Haruka stared at her a long moment, "You're pregnant."
Usagi whimpered and almost fainted again. "They told me MIGHT be!"
Haruka scowled, "Which one?"
Usagi blushed and looked down. "...."
"Trowa?"
Usagi shook her head, "Iie..."
"Hiiro?"
"Ummm no?"
Haruka scowled, "Not that baka, DUo?"
"eer..." Usagi shook her head.
Haruka sighed in relief, "So it was that Quatre? He's the only one I think is worthy of you, Koneko."
Usagi gulped, "Ummm no," she whimpered.
"You didn't do anything with Seiya did you?" Haruka growled.
"Iie..."
"Then who?... Ail?"
Usagi whimpered, "Iie, Ruka-chan."
Haruka mentally went through her list crossing out names. "The only one that is left is that .. Wufei," she spat in disgust and dismissal.
Usagi slightly nodded, "Hmmm," she whispered.
Haruka slowly looked up, "Tell me you just didn't say yes to that name, Koneko-chan...."
Usagi flushed, "H... hai."
Haruka bolted to her feet space sword appearing in hand. "I'll kill him."
"Ruka-chan, matte!" Usagi grabbed her friend and protector's arm. "You can't kill, Fei-chan! It was my fault!"
Haruka turned, "What do you mean by that?"
"After talking to Mamoru I appeared in his dream..."
"So it didn't really happen?"
Usagi shook her head, "It did happen, Ruka-chan. It wasn't just a dream I somehow tapped into his dream and-"
Haruka shook her head hands almost clamped over her ears, "I DON'T want details."
Usagi blushed and looked around confused, "Duo-chan, where is everyone?"
Duo was still pressed against the wall almost whimpering. "They've all gone mad..."
Usagi rushed over to him and grabbed his hand trying to pull him up. "Come on, Duo."
"IIE! Quatre's scary..."
Usagi's brow wrinkled in confusion and she laughed, "Quatre isn't scary at all. Now come on." She struggled harder then put her hands on her hips as he refused to budge an inch. "Guess we do this the hard way then, huh?"
Duo looked up at her, "What's that mean?"
Usagi grabbed his braid and tugged, "UP!" There was the faint sound of a string breaking and Usagi stared at the braid in her hand in horror. "AHHH!!! DUO!!! GOMEN!!!"
Duo looked up and realized the motion seemed lighter. He glanced up at Usagi and saw something brown hanging in her hands. Something brown that looked like a.... His hand went to the back of his head and felt around. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Usagi winced, "GOMEN!"
Wufei dodged the insane Quatre who had ran out of bullets and was attempting to club him with his pink gun. His head jerked as he heard two screams. "USAGI!" he ducked under Hiiro's katana and ran into the room almost tripping over Trowa who had taken to throwing knives at him.
Quatre's eyes cleared for a moment as he heard the scream. "GODDESS!" He pushed Wufei out of the way and rushed to her.
Duo started to yelp upon seeing Quatre and tried to hide behind Haruka. "HELP! It's QUATRE!"
Usagi gave Duo a strange look forgetting about the braid. "You're scared of kind sweet Quatre?"
Wufei scowled, "USAGI!"
She looked up, "Hai, Fei-chan?"
"Get away from Quatre. He's dangerous."
Usagi broke into laughter, "Quatre? Dangerous?" She laughed again not even noticing Duo finally realizing the thing Usagi was holding in her hand was his braid.
"BUNNY!!!" he whined behind a furious and annoyed Quatre.
She turned her eyes still dancing, "Hai?"
"That's my braid..."
Usagi let her eyes fall, "Gomen, Duo I didn't think it would come off like that!"
Duo stared at the braid for a long moment. 'Maybe this isn't so bad after all...' He slowly raised his eyes to hers and smiled, "It's okay, Bunny..."
Usagi frowned uneasily, "No, it isn't. You must have spent your entire life growing that."
Duo shrugged slowly advancing on her, "Yeah, but you can make it up to me. You owe me a billion kisses and then some."
"Nani?!?" Haruka exploded her eyes narrowing in annoyance.
Duo nodded pointing to the braid, "I've grown that hair my entire life not letting ONE person cut it. I've lovingly cared for it as if it was my own child, shampooing it and brushing it. Hours and hours of my life wasted! I deserve at least that from Bunny."
Usagi flushed, "It IS my fault, Ruka-chan..."
"That his braid just decided to come off when you pulled on it?" Demanded Haruka with a scowl.
Usagi shrugged, "I'm stronger then I look?" She offered feebly.
Haruka crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Duo, "You set this all up, didn't you?"
Duo scowled, "IIE! I didn't want my braid cut!!"
Haruka scoffed, "A likely story. It's obvious you're trying anything to get her attention. To get an edge over your competition."
Duo frowned insulted, "I WOULD NOT DO THAT TO MY BRAID!"
Usagi glared at Haruka, "Leave him alone, Ruka-chan. Demo, Duo-chan, how DID your braid come off?"
"Omae o Korosu, Duo."
Duo pointed, "He started it I think and you finished the poor thing off...."
"Ummm, Duo?"
"Hai?"
"Why are Hiiro's eyes glowing golden and why is he.... EEP!"
Hiiro looked down at the girl in his arms and smirked. "Usa-chan."
Usagi stared up at him startled, "What happened to him, Duo?" She asked confused.
Wufei glared, "Get your hands off of her, Yui!"
Hiiro ignored him and was about to kiss Usagi when Ail marched into the room. "Get your hands off, Usagi-chan!"
A moment later the insane Quatre rushed in followed by a more sedate Trowa whose green eyes flickered with fury. "Drop her, Hiiro," Trowa calmly informed his eyes grlowing gold.
Seiya shook his head numbly at the chaos, "Are you okay, Odango-chan?"
Usagi nodded, "Hai...demo what is wrong with everyone?" She noticed the glowing eyes and she frowned, "Ail...."
He looked at her blue eyes narrowed, "Which one?"
She wrinkled her brow, "Which one what?"
"Which one made...."
"Made?" Usagi asked confused.
Ail growled and gestrued to her stomach, "You know."
Usagi frowned, "I don't know... what did you do to them?" She demanded pointing to Quatre who was chasing Duo with the pink gun, Trowa who was cartwheeling through the air and writing her name by throwing knives into the wall, and Hiiro who was laughing.
Ail glared, "Don't change the subject."
Seiya glanced at Wufei. "Are we the only normal ones here?"
Wufei scowled, "Baka weaklings...."
Haruka glared at everyone. "Leave Usagi alone," she demanded. Her eyes were currently on Ail but it was clear the threat was meant for everyone.
Ail ignored her, "TELL ME, Usagi-chan!"
"Tell you what?" She demanded irritated.
Duo rolled underneath the crazed blonde and came to a stop in front of Usagi and Ail. "He's talking about you having triplets, Bunny."
"TRIPLETS!" Usagi and Ail screamed at the same time.
Duo grinned sheepishly. Wufei scowled, "Braided baka." He smirked, "Looks like you're just a baka now though doesn't it?"
Duo pouted, "That was low, Wu-man."
Ail eyed Usagi, "So you're having triplets? Who's the Father?"
"I'm NOT!" Usagi screamed.
Ail glared, "Don't lie to me, Usagi-chan. I can tell you know."
"Take the spell off of them first," Usagi demanded as Quatre pounced on top of Duo and began to attempt to beat him with his pink gun.
Ail nodded and waved his hand in a dismissive gesture making everyone's eyes stop glowing golden. "Soooo?"

I DID warn you... very weird. Don't worry Duo-lovers! Duo WILL not be braidless forever. He'll be fixed up next chapter. Please review and I hope I'm not in such an... odd mood next time.
