Author: Jumping Jellybeans
Disclaimers: I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon.
Author's Notes: Ohayo, peeps, here's the deal. I get chapters out really quickly from now on (the end is in sight!), and YOU review!!! Got it? Good, because I've finally gotten my lazy brain to get to work.
To all the curious readers: Usagi's onee-chan IS an original character! **evil grin** You'll just have to wait until the very end to find out who she is.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Usagi stepped outside, wincing slightly at the sun's bright glare. She turned around to look back into the mansion behind her, smiling brightly when she saw Duo approaching the entrance. Around her, the first signs of spring were beginning to show. It was the first day outside for her in weeks, mainly because of Quatre, she had been stuck inside the mansion, watching everyone come and go.
She closed her eyes as the wind rushed by bringing a tornado of cherry blossoms. Someone hugged her from behind and a lazy smile drifted onto her face.
"Ready to go, Usa-chan?" Duo asked as she leaned back against him.
"Hai. Let's go." Usagi opened her eyes and stepped out of his embrace, "What're we taking?"
"We're going to take my new bike for a spin." Duo replied, tossing her a shiny black helmet.
Usagi sighed as she tugged her mass of silvery-blonde hair out of its bun; she crammed the helmet onto her head and hopped on the motorcycle parked in the driveway. She felt a rush of wind as Duo started the motorcycle and shot off towards the Sanq Kingdom.
Quatre shook his head as he watched him go, his light blue eyes filled with uncertainty. What would Usagi do once she found out who she really was? His train of thought was interrupted when Trowa tapped his shoulder.
"Has Duo already left?" Trowa asked in a monotone voice.
"Hai." Quatre replied, shutting the door, "Mission for all of us?"
"Hnn." Hiiro grunted as he came up next to them, "Leave a note for him, we have to go now."
Quatre sighed as he left for him room to get ready, and write a note for Duo. Hiiro left as well, to go to his Gundam, leaving Trowa to glance out of the window at the trail of dust Duo had left behind.
'Why do I have such a bad feeling about this?' he thought to himself as he too left the main entrance.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo and Usagi stopped in front of Quatre's mansion just as the last few minutes of the sunset begun. Usagi's eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were flushed from the wind. She frowned when the motorcycle stopped; something bad was coming a small part of her whispered. Shaking off the feeling, she pulled off her helmet and her silvery-blonde locks tumbled down, catching the last rays of the sun.
"D-chan?" Usagi asked softly as Duo stopped in the doorway of the mansion, "Is something wrong?"
"Iie." Duo murmured, his mind obviously elsewhere, "Nothing's wrong."
"Are you sure?" Usagi peered over his shoulder and saw him clenching a sheet of paper in one fist, she sighed, "It's a mission isn't it?"
"Hai." Duo answered, turning back to her with apologetic eyes, "Gomen."
"No, go on." Usagi edged passed him and entered the house, "You shouldn't let the world blow up just because you don't want to leave me here alone. Besides, there are always a few servants around, so I won't be completely alone, right?"
"Usa-chan, you never know when Kivardi might start his wild goose chase again." Duo replied, running a hand through his chestnut colored hair.
"I can use a gun too, you know, Duo." Usagi smiled softly and kissed him quickly, "Good luck."
"I think I'll need all the luck I can get." Duo grinned, though the smile never quite reached his eyes.
Usagi nodded and she trailed him all the way to his Gundam. She watched as he climbed into Deathscythe Hell, turning back once to wave to her. Smiling slightly, she waved back although a feeling of dread swept through her once again.
"Be careful, Duo." Usagi whispered as she turned around to leave the hangar.

**a puff of smoke** Hontoo ni? I got this far? Maybe I should just stop it here, eh? But, of course everyone wants to know what bad thing is coming up. (If you have no clue what-so-ever to the 'bad thing', please reread the above, I'm sure you'll be able to get it the second time.) Anyway, just wanted to pop in and tell y'all that I will continue this chapter, AND that anyone who wants to e-mail or IM me...CAN! Yup, and I do need someone to be my beta reader, and I would like someone to be my 'thorn in the side' to keep reminding me to update!

Usagi forced her eyes open when she heard someone enter the room. Maybe it was Duo; he had been gone for about a week now. She made out a dark figure placing something by her bedside.
"Miss Usagi." a voice whispered, "It's something for you to drink."
"Hai." Usagi mumbled, realizing she was thirsty, one side of her mind screamed danger, 'She can't be dangerous.' Usagi thought as she picked up the glass, 'Only Quatre's servants call me Miss Usagi.'
As she downed the glass of water, she suddenly felt light-headed and all she wanted was to sleep and sleep and sleep. As unconsciousness claimed her, the figure stepped into the pale moonlight, revealing emerald green eyes and reddish-brown hair. She chuckled softly as she tucked a, now empty, packed into a pocket.
There was a click and the lady whirled around to face a shiny gun. A strangled gasp filled the room as she fell down onto the floor, her life pooling around her in a dark red puddle. In one swift motion, the newcomer scooped Usagi up and left the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She was tired, so tired. All she wanted to do was sleep forever. But something, no someone was calling to her, urging her to wake up.
'Imouto-chan, wake up!' a voice echoed in her mind, bouncing off of the shiny black walls the drug had placed there.
The echoes filled her mind, forcing her awake. Silvery-blue eyes opened and she caught a glimpse of a lady figure fading away. Her eyes widened, where was she?
The room around her was a sparkling white, definitely not the all-black room Duo slept in. She sat up and the world spun around her in a dizzying whirl of white. Slowly, everything cleared up, and she managed to get out of bed, although her body still felt like liquid.
Slowly, she managed to get out of the room and made her way down the sparkling hallway. Along the way, she poked her head in various rooms to look for any humans, from these rooms, she was able to gather that she was in some sort of lab. Finally, she paused in front of a slightly ajar door and listened to the voices inside.
"This isn't right, we shouldn't do this." a voice said, Quatre, her mind supplied.
"It's not our fault the baka did that!" another voice growled, Wufei.
"We won't do it. We can't put our lives on the line for his." a monotone voice interrupted, Hiiro.
"Demo, do you know how many times he's done that for us?" Quatre protested, "We can't just abandon him like that!"
"We have a back-up." came Hiiro's reply.
"How are we going to tell her?" Trowa finally said.
"Tell me what?" Usagi asked, flinging the door open, her eyes scanning the room's occupants.
"Usagi, you're awake!" Quatre cried, jumping up from his seat.
Her eyes flashed dangerously and he quickly sat down, "Where's Duo?" she asked harshly, looking at all of them.
Silence followed her question as she glared at all of them angrily. No one offered and answer.
"Well?" her eye traveled through the room again, "Where is he?"
"Usagi..." Quatre began, pausing, "...well, he's been captured."
Usagi froze as the information sunk in. Duo. Captured. Oz. Mission. Everyone watched her reaction.
"You ARE going to rescue him, aren't you?" Usagi said, her voice dripping with ice.
"Iie." Hiiro replied firmly, "We won't because we already have another pilot."
"Oh, so his life is suddenly expendable, hmm?" Usagi asked, her eyes were cold, icy even, "And who is this 'back-up' pilot?"
"Miss Usagi--" Quatre was cut off.
"Don't you 'Miss Usagi' me." Usagi growled, "Because it's not going to work."
"Onna, you're Pilot 02." Wufei said evenly.
Usagi's world crashed right then and there. Images came rushing back to her. A doctor, with a mechanical hand, training her, forcing her through numerous exercises. Holding a gun and hitting the target dead center. Everything that had to do with her training rushed back to her, and she stumbled back a couple steps.
Glazed eyes looked at the world as the memories flooded through her. Running away. Being chased. Starving, freezing. Being found...
"I'm not a Gundam pilot." Usagi ground out, her eyes returning to their icy state, "I am not a Gundam pilot."
"Yes you are, Tsuki." Hiiro replied, he was completely immune to her icy glare, "And you know it."
"I won't replace Duo." Usagi growled, "If you bastards won't find him, then I sure as hell will!"
An unseen wind whipped through the room and surround Usagi, a flash of silver light momentarily blinded the room's occupants. And Usagi had changed. Silver power, with streaks of metallic blue, surrounded her, a deadly ball of energy was in one palm as her normally silvery-blue eyes became cold and detached.
In one move, the energy ball was released and a metal wall behind Quatre melted, leaving a large gap leading outside. Usagi strode across the room, leaving molten footsteps behind her, moments later, she had exited the room and had disappeared.
