ACCCK! Gomen nasai for taking so long to get this out. School ended and I
left about ten minutes after it to go to Louisville, Kentucky, for
WonderFest. It was really fun, but I felt bad the whole time because I
couldn't write or post! Anyways, here it is- chapter 15! I know it's short,
but since school's out I'll be able to write more often, so the rest should
come out pretty quick! Review if you want me to continue, or email me at
akamoonsugar@yahoo.com! Ja ne!
Oh, and in response to a certain review... I know I use a lot of Japanese, and I know it can get confusing. If you would like a 'dictionary' of Japanese terms and phrases that I have noticed are very common in fanfiction, email me and I'll get one to you! Arigato!

"Rini?!" she exclaimed. The small form on the ground did not move. "Rini!" she cried again, then, raising her voice, yelled for the others. Soon she was cradling her future daughter's body in her arms, surrounded by her friends. Hiiro bent down and put his ear close to Rini's slightly parted lips.
"She's alive." he noted, seeing relief enter Usagi's eyes.
'I thought Rini was an orphan from another timeline. What's she doing here if she's not Usagi and Mamoru-baka's child.' Minako thought.
"This is Rini?" Duo asked, curious. When Matoko nodded, he got even more confused.
"Will someone PLEASE explain to me how a man with BLACK hair and a woman with BLONDE hair can end up having a kid with PINK hair?!!!" his outburst caused his smile to be contagious. It also caused the Senshi to smack him on the side of the head.
"Remember, Duo, Rini turned out to be from another timeline... She was never my daugher." Usagi said slowly, sadly. Hiiro put his hand on her shoulder. Usagi pulled the Ginzuishou out of thin air and touched it to Rini's forehead gently. Just as the gem disappeared, Rini opened her eyes.
"Usagi-mama!" she exclaimed, hugging the older girl. Usagi returned her embrace, holding her tightly. Sensing her 'mother's emotions, Rini pulled away.
"Usagi-mama, are you not happy to see me?" she asked, smiling up at Usagi.
"Hai, Rini, I'm happy to see you. It's just... A lot has happened since you went back to Crystal Tokyo." Usagi told her. Rini looked confused.
"What happened, Usagi-mama? And why is Mamoru-papa not here?" the pink-haired girl asked, looking around the clearing for the dark-haired man. Usagi did not answer until Rini repeated her question. Usagi simply touched her index finger to Rini's forehead, and images flashed quickly through her mind, just as Usagi had done to the other Senshi not a week ago. Rini was even more confused when it was over.
"But Usagi-mama... Why am I not you and Mamoru's daughter?" she asked. "And what about Crystal Tokyo? I've been there! You were there- You were MARRIED to Mamoru! What happened?"
Usagi shook her head.
"I don't know, Rini... I just don't know!" she told the younger girl. Rini's eyes widened and she pulled out of Usagi's grasp.
"I hate you!" she screamed. "I HATE YOU!!! Just LEAVE! In fact, why don't you DIE, too! You're cheating on Mamo-papa! You're a SLUT!!!" she screamed insults with language none of them would have expected from a girl her age. Usagi's eyes filled with tears- no, this wasn't her real daughter, but Usagi disliked being hated by anyone. She spun around, ran past Hiiro and the others, jumped on Ariake, and took off through the woods at a run. She clung to the reins and the horn of the saddle, not caring where she went, so long as she escaped the little girl's taunting. The tears that flowed freely from her eyes were snatched away by the rushing wind, mingling with her whipped back hair. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice a low branch she was quickly approaching.
*SMACK* Guess what happened??
Yup, she got a branch right in the face and fell off the horse, unconsious as she knocked her head on a rock. Ariake neighed and snorted, immediately noticing the lack of weight on her back. Being a horse (and not too bright at that), she decided to head back to where she was fed.
Meanwhile, in the clearing...
As soon as Usagi had run off, Hiiro strode across and grabbed Rini by the shoulders and shook her hard.
"Why did you say that?! Usagi's the kindest person I've ever known!" He continued to shake her, despite the other's attempts to stop him. Rini eventually began to cry, for once beginning to show her age.
"Gomen hiccup nasai!" she cried over and over. It took Matoko, Trowa, Wufei, Quatre, Duo, Ami, Minako, AND Rei to pull him off of the girl. They pulled Hiiro over to a tree and sat him down.
"Sometimes, Hiiro," Duo told him as the others went to check to make sure Rini was okay. "It would be wise for you to keep some of the exterior of the Perfect Soldier." Hiiro's eyes flamed with anger as he glared at the braided pilot, then he calmed down and his eyes iced over. He stood, bringing Duo with him. Striding across the clearing purposefully, he stopped in front of Rini. She retreated behind Matoko.
"Gomen nasai, little one." Hiiro told her. She came back to stand in front of him.She gave him a small smile and a hug, then stepped away from them all. Her eyes began to glow a brilliant red, and she laughed evilly.
"You weak mortals are so easy to fool!" she said, her voice sounding more like that of an older woman's.
"Rini! What's going on?!" Rei demanded, attempting to approach the small girl. She was thrown backwards into Wufei by a red blast of ki (energy).
"I'm not Rini." she declared. "I'm merely using this weakling's body to help fufill Fate and Destiny's true designs on Usagi's life." she cackled once more. Hiiro's fists clenched tightly, but he was smart enough not to try and approach the little child.
"What have you done with Usagi?!" he yelled, fury showing in his eyes breifly.
"It is of no consequence to you now." Rini replied. "She is merely being... taken... by one of your enemies. Ja ne!" she called, and disappeared.
"Kuso!" Hiiro cursed before jumping on his horses' back and riding off in the direction Usagi had charged. The others quickly followed.
