Is This Called Destiny?
Chapter Five

Author: Jumping Jellybeans

Disclaimers: I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon.

Author's Notes: Arigato for the three reviews I got! At least SOMEONE reviewed my story! **sweatdrop** It's okay, I don't really blame you guys for not reviewing, my fic got knocked off the 'Updated Fics' pretty fast. And, I don't exactly review every single fic that I've read...

Moonlight fell onto the unconscious form of Usagi that was lying on a queen size bed that was centered in the middle of the room she was currently in. It was because of this bright light that you could see a flickering figure, of an older girl, bending over the unconscious form. She was pressing her hand lightly to the other girl's forehead, sending a wave of pale golden power into the unconscious girl. A look of sorrow crossed the older girl's face for a brief moment, the girl in front of her had no idea that the god's were playing with her life at this very moment.

"I wish I could help you, imouto-chan." the figure whispered softly, "Demo, you have to pull through by yourself this time."

Usagi stirred and opened her eyes just as the figure disappeared, leaving only the scent of wildflowers in bloom. She frowned, her dream had been her strangest yet...

**Flashback**

Great, she was back in this creepy gloomy place full of shadows. The mist and fog around her created strange shapes that seemed to follow her. She whirled around and saw the shapes melt back into fog; however, as soon as she began walking again, she could feel things following her.

"Leave me alone!" Usagi yelled as she whirled around and spotted the shapes attempting to melt back into mist.

"Why?" came a hauntingly familiar voice.

"We were your friends, we protected you." a voice hissed softly.

"And you killed us..." another voice continued.

"I don't know who you are! Just go away! You've got the wrong person!" Usagi shrieked, "I never killed anyone!"

"That's where you're wrong, Usako." a male voice said softly from somewhere behind her.

Usagi was chilled to the bone, how had Kivardi manage to creep into her dreams? Actually, now that she thought of it, the voice sounded different, nearly like Kivardi's, but different.

"Be gone!" a harsh voice ordered and a shimmering golden light appeared, vanquishing the shadow shapes.

Usagi tried to look at what she considered her savior and found that she couldn't. When she thought she had one feature down, it seemed to shift away and change. The only feature she could clearly make out where the reddish-gold eyes that seemed to hold peace and war at the same time.

"Don't try to concentrate on my features, imouto-chan." the figure whispered, "It's impossible in this wretched place."

"Do I have an onee-chan?" she asked hopefully, her only family had been Duo so far, 'But he's leaving you, remember?' another part of her mind reminded.

"Hai. One day you shall be able to meet me face to face, but for now, our only means of communication is this." the figure answered.

"What is this place, onee-chan?" Usagi asked looking around her.

"This place? This is where all your banished memories are stored, they shall return later when they are summoned or needed." the figure waved an arm around her.

"Demo, why can't I summon them now?" Usagi asked, confused.

"Your true form is the only thing that can ever summon them since it was your true form that locked them away in the first place." the figure explained patiently.

"My true form?" Usagi questioned.

"Hai, your true form sleeps in you and it shall for eternity unless you pass the test that is set before you." the figure began to fade away and disappear.

"Matte!" Usagi yelled, trying to grab the fading figure, "What test?"

**End Flashback**

"Glad to see you're awake, Sleeping Beauty." Duo commented as he entered her room.

"Duo, where are we?" Usagi asked, frowning at her surroundings, "The last thing I remember was blacking out in the rain."

"We're in another one of Quatre's hide-away mansions. This one's in Sanq Kingdom." Duo answered lazily as he sat down on the corner of the bed.

"Nande kuso?!" Usagi shrieked, shooting up out of her bed, "Last time I checked, we were half way around the world." she managed to say this through a coughing fit.

"You really shouldn't yell, Usa-chan, you've got pneumonia." Duo said while gently pushing her back down so she was back on her back.

"Why are we in Sanq?" Usagi demanded, looking up at him.

"Well, we're in Sanq because we need to get away from Oz. You're in Sanq because there was no way I would leave you again." Duo answered.

"Soo ka?" Usagi asked hopefully.

"Hai, did you really think I would let you go?" Duo said in a half-amused voice.

"You did last time..." Usagi frowned, "Demo, what ever happened to Kivardi?"

"I let him go, Usa-chan. You were more important at the time." Duo sighed, getting up and heading out the door, "Get some sleep, I'll wake you up in the morning."

"Imouto-chan," a soft voice whispered, "how are you?"

"Onee-chan, why did you leave?" Usagi asked, turning around to look at her older sister.

"The gods have eyes everywhere, imouto, it is forbidden to tell you too much." the lady before her sighed, "I have told you too much already."

"Are you the only person who can contact me here?" Usagi asked, looking around at the thick swirling mist.

"Iie, most people can come here and talk to you if they wish. But only one other person will visit you here." the lady said, leading Usagi to a small picture.

The picture was of a girl around nineteen lying on a steel table. She had light pink hair, which fell past her shoulders, and she wore an emerald green kimono. The room she was in had no door and magic was woven into the walls.

"Is she dead?" Usagi asked fearfully.

"Iie, the gods have put her asleep for interfering with your life. The only thing that can leave that room is her spirit which will come here eventually to talk to you." the lady whispered.

"Onee-chan, are you in the same predicament?" Usagi asked looking up at the lady.

"Iie, I have been merely banished from this system until your trial is over." the lady answered.

`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Usagi woke up coughing, she had been sleeping for only an hour. The sky outside was slowly turning a lighter blue. She shivered, it was below freezing in her room right now, Duo had probably forgotten to turn on the heater. Silently, she made her way to the door and ventured into the hallway.

Everything was silent when she finally found Duo's room. Usagi entered his room, her bare feet barely making a sound on the black carpet. She slipped into his bed and pulled the blanket around her.

"Usa-chan," Duo started in a sleepy voice.

"I was cold, D-chan." Usagi murmured, beginning to fall asleep again, "And I missed you."

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Quatre flung open the door to Duo's bedroom and was about to say something, about Usagi's mysterious disappearance from her bed, when he stopped. There right in front of him, was Usagi, her head on Duo's chest. She was peacefully asleep, looking pale in contrast to the pitch black blanket around her. Duo himself was asleep too, looking happier right now than he had been for the three days Usagi was unconscious. Smiling softly, at the picture they made, he closed the door and headed towards the kitchens.
