Thank you Tenshi-chan, Chibi Chibi GW, SerenityLNguyen, LeaD, Serena Yuy,
Moon-bunny-87, The Desert Fox, MarsMoonStar, MooCow, Me Myself, Ice Princess,
Silvershadow, Silver_Star, Darlana, Amyangel, Dragon Wolf, Yoda, Luna the Lune, Princess
Ayilana, Sailor Grape, Tenshi-chan (signed), and Silent Tiger!!! Also, I meant to get this out
yesterday morning, but before I could proofread it I had to run errands and was gone all
day. I'm sorry! I hope you can forgive me!! But, thanks again all of you! You made me so
happy!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
*"Um. Well, I'm not sure if you'll find this important enough, but... I don't know if I
should tell or not. Maybe I should just drag you back and make it a surprise sort of thing," Heero
said to Usagi with a smirk, and a 'what are you gonna do about it' look.
"Don't you look like that at me! I could do many things to you to make you regret saying
you'll not tell me that will me you tell me!" Usagi stated matter of factly, with a playful grin
slapped on here fac. Setting down her now empty bowl, she noticed Heero had done the same
without her even realizing it.
"Oh really," he said with doubt. "You think you'd be able to harm me or make me do
something. I rather doubt that. Tell me one thing that you would do." He stared down into her
eyes as he spoke.
"Um. I would... I would... I know! I'd do this!" she said with a leap at Heero. He was
shocked that she had just tackled him and now had him pinned to the ground. "Now you have no
choice now but to tell me why you came. After all, it is rather important. That I know. Besides,
you're in the tiger's dwelling now, so if you don't want trouble, spill," she firmly said, and
applied more pressure to his arms, where she was holding him down by, to add emphasis to her
words. Face being mere centimeters from his. A little movement from either would join their
lips. Would someone take that opportunity? Maybe to try weaseling their way out of trouble? To
try saving themselves from the wrath of a woman?
Heero's gaze turned soft as he stared at Usagi's face and into her eyes.
"Heero, why are you looking at me like that?" Usagi inquired.
"Well, I was just thinking about last night and the kiss. And now I'm thinking about how
beautiful you look right now. And how much your eyes are shining," he said in a seductive voice.
Raising his lips up and against Usagi's, he smirked in his head. Yep. He was good. He was great.
He could handle a woman. Ahhhhh, so good!
But that was as far as his mind got a chance to take that little self-praise. Usagi sharply
pulled back. "Trying to outsmart me, huh? Thought you could win in a game of wits and tongue?
(Pun intended) Well, you thought wrong. And knowing you, you were already praising yourself.
Well, stop now. I've won your little game. If you thought kissing me would make me forget and
release you, you were so wrong it's not even worth a laugh. Lesson number 1, and most
important rule of them all, never underestimate a woman, that will lead to your downfall. And
lesson number 2, never estimate women, for they will still outsmart you. They can handle more
than a man any day. You guys may be physically stronger, but women were blessed with brains.
Unfortunately, for you at least, men didn't get the same package. Making it extremely easy to
win against a guy by simply using intelligence. So, whatcha gonna do now, my little He-chan?"
she questioned, voice full of triumph, and the last part being said with obvious sarcasm.
"Fine, fine," he said, pouting and turning his head away from her. "Makoto's getting
married."
"What was that?"
"She's getting married."
"I thought I heard that. Just double checking. What?!?! How can she be getting married?
Who's the guy? Is he worth her time? And love? Can she trust him? Is-"
She didn't realize she had jumped up from her previous position on Heero and had started
pacing until Heero stepped in front of her and grabbed a hold of her shoulders. "Usagi, calm
down. It's okay. I checked out the guy, and have been around him a lot. He'll be good for her. I
trust him to take care of my little sister. She loves him, and he loves her. It's blatantly obvious to
anyone, because you can see pure unadulterated love shining from each other's eyes when they
look at each other, or even when just speaking of the other. You have nothing to worry about."
Usagi fell against Heero and buried her head in his shoulder. He could feel the need to be
held coming from her, so holding was what he did. She was crying. He wasn't sure why, but she
was. She needed him right now to hug and hold, and be held by. So he stood there holding her as
she sobbed into his shoulder. Silently providing comfort as best he could. He rested his head
atop her's and continued holding her until she was ready to exit his embrace. The rest of the day
and into the night and always was how long he would wait for her and hold her.
Pulling back from him, but still standing dangerously close, she wiped her red eyes and
looked up at Heero. "Thanks again, Heero. You aided me without even saying a word. As much
as you don't know how to handle a women's intelligence, you do know how to handle her when
she needs it emotionally. Thank you." Lifting up on her toes, she planted a kiss on Heero's mouth
and stepped back. "So, Makoto's getting married! I'm so happy for her! She sure does take
request's to heart. Makoto, oh how I've missed her so. I take it you told me so I could come back
for the wedding, right?"
"Of course," he said with a smile. "She wanted you to be her Maid of Honor, but you
couldn't because you left. She actually doesn't even know I'm here retrieving you. A surprise is
what I'm making of it," he said, holding out his arm to her in gentlemen fashion.
Taking it, she said, as they began their exit out of the boulder, "Then a surprise it will be.
Sounds like fun! I can hardly wait. So when is it and when are we leaving?"
As they talked they checked her traps. "Well, it takes 3 days to get back, and we'll be
leaving tomorrow. The wedding's in 5 days, meaning we'll arrive the day before. Sound good?"
"Wonderfully so," she exclaimed with a bright smile.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning they left on there trip returning home. Traveling most of the day, and
only stopping for lunch, they made good time. Heero had left his horse at the bottom of the
mountain at a place where she would be safe, so once they reached that point, Fairylight was
thankful she only had to carry one person.
In 30 minutes, they would reach the forest she had left through months before. She was
almost home. But now it didn't really feel like home. It did, but it didn't. It was hard to explain.
She was snapped out of her thoughts at the voice of her travel companion.
"People think you're dead, you know."
"Oh."
"People talked about you for a time, but everything about you has past since Karmain
said you probably died. I knew you didn't, but I didn't tell them that. I didn't even say I thought
you were dead. I hated hearing those conversation about you, and how they spoke of you. I had
to walk out on many conversations because of it. As far as I know, everyone thinks you're dead,
except Makoto and Duo. Speaking of Duo, you'll be surprised to see how he acts now. He's
become more serious, but not overly so. He needed some growing up and having to live with
himself and what he did to you has made him do so. I think the change is for the better. You
probably will to. It's nice not having to worry about what prank he'll play next. Life has changed
a lot since you left." He fell quiet after saying that sentence and they continued their journey,
neither speaking for the rest of the way.
~~~~~~~~~
There Usagi sat. Waiting. She was bored out of her mind, yet very anxious. It wouldn't be
too much longer and she would see Makoto again. Her best friend. Seconds seemed like
millennia as she sat and waited, stood and waited, and paced and waited.
Finally Makoto stepped through the trees with Duo in tow. "Usagi!!"
"Makoto!!" She screamed out with joy.
They crashed into each other in an embrace. "I missed you so much, Usagi." Her eyes
became teary and her face held a guilty look. "I tried to forget you like you told me to, but I
couldn't. As much as I hated doing so, I tried. I'd go to bed at night and swear I wouldn't think
about you the next day or wonder how you were doing. And every time I did, my dreams were
filled with you and all the great times we had together. I can't forget you Usagi. I never can and
never will." Tears poured out her eyes. Usagi's face was a mirrored image of Makoto's. They
were holding each other's hands between them and crying.
"If it helps any, I couldn't forget you either, as I told myself to. I guess were even then."
She smiled, tears still present, as with Makoto. "I promise you, here and now, I'll never forget
you, Makoto, no matter how great the distance between us may be."
"And I promise you Usagi, that anything that separates us physically, can never sever our
friendship. I'll never forget you. Nothing ever will ever able to make me."
A hand shake wasn't good enough to seal that oath, only a hug was. Pulling apart again,
Duo decided to step forward.
"Hey Usagi." Duo said, and Usagi could tell by the tone of his voice that he was still
having problems with pulling the prank.
Usagi stepped in front of Duo and grabbed his hands, holding them both between hers.
"Dou, stop. I can tell your still thinking about what you did to me. Least said, soonest mended.
Meaning, it's done and over with. It's in the past and it should stay in the past, with all involved
moving on, not thinking about what happened. I put it behind me, Duo, and you should too."
"'Least said, soonest mended'. I like that. I'll take that to heart and do as you said and put
it behind me. Besides, who am I to live in the past with myself being the one in the wrong and
the one who suffered from it all has already put it behind herself. Thanks, Usagi. I really needed
to hear that. Thank you." Picking her up into a hug, he swung her around and them returned her
to the ground. "Thanks," he said again with a final hug.
"Your welcome, Duo," she said, smiling at him. Directing her attention to Makoto, she
asked in a sly voice, "So, when do I get to meet the groom?"
Makoto flushed and said, "How did you know about Tony?" That's when all the pieces
fell into place. "Heero," she said in an accusing voice. "You didn't go on a week hunt, did you?
You left to find Usagi! And you told her about my wedding and that's why you brought her back.
Usagi! You're gonna be at my wedding! And now that you're back you can be in it too!! Wait.
You can't be in it can you? Because if people recognize you, you'll be arrested and put to death,
and so will the rest of us because we would be helping you and would therefore also be
treasonous, in their minds," Makoto's voice changed from ecstatic, to one of sorrow.
"Right," Usagi said. "Bummer, isn't it?"
"Ya."
"But look on the bright side you two, at least she'll be at the wedding," Duo said to the
two girls.
"I'll be there, and I'll be the happiest one in the crowd."
Smiling at Makoto and saying those words, made Makoto give Usagi another hug. "I'm
so gald you're back, Usagi."
She hugged her back. "Me too, Makoto."
Heero finally decided to speak, "Usagi, we need to make you less noticeable. You're hair
being almost down to your feet attracts attention. We should cut it to an average length, like at
your waist."
"That's a good idea. Well, Makoto, you've cut my hair ever since I met you, and who am I
to change that tradition now."
The four walked back to Makoto's house and went to her room where Usagi's hair was
cut. The timing was perfect because their parent's were at a meeting in the castle making the
house empty, as Heero had planned.
Usagi was to sleep in the woods, since the three's parents would learn of her existence if
she slept in Makoto's room. Heero walked her back to an area in the woods where she would
sleep. Her horse was in their stable, it couldn't be helped, and she would be sleeping on one of
the branches in the trees. Heero assured her she would be okay and that if she didn't want to be
caught, that was what she must do. She trusted him, so she agreed.
Once reaching the tree, Heero took Usagi into his arms and said, "Goodnight. Get a good
rest. The wedding is tomorrow. You'll need your strength. I'll be waiting for you."
Looking up at him, his face bathed in moonlight, she said, "You know. You're making it
sound as though it's our wedding tomorrow. Did you know that?"
Heero didn't answer her question, he just gave her a brush to the lips, a goodnight, and
walked away, leaving her alone in the forest.
Usagi, to say the least, was baffled. Moonlight had a tendency to make people do odd
things. Maybe that was why he spoke that way. But the more logical part of her mind told her it
was because he wanted to.
Climbing up the tree and laying on a branch she fell into a blissful sleep.
~~~~~~~~~
Opening her eyes she saw that it was still dark. She could still see the moon. Why would
people be out here talking at a time like this?
Looking over the edge of the branch, she was shocked by the person who she saw
standing below her. Karmain.*
