Hello all! I am glad to present you another chapter. It's fun to work on
this fanfiction, thanks to the reviewers and my dear editor Usa-chan. I
wouldn't be here without you, guys.
Disclaimer: I always forget to write this! Gomen! I don't own a lot of things, among them Trigun and Sailor Moon.

Vash raised one light eyebrow. Usagi gulped. Now was a good time to faint. They both were intently looking at the locket as if it would help the Crystal to appear by just staring at the empty spot.
"I.I'll go look under the bed." Usagi was shaking. She had a bad feeling about it, a VERY bad feeling.
She searched everywhere, even outside, by the window. Her Crystal was nowhere to be found.
Vash put the empty locket on the table and looked under his bed where Usagi was laying quietly sobbing.
"It was here, I swear! I am not lying!"
The blonde outlaw sighed and offered Usagi his hand helping her to her feet.
"Are you sure you had it with you when you came here?"
"Yes! I never leave my locket! And the Crystal is always inside, I never was able to pull it out!"
Vash miserably sat on the bed with the hysterically crying Usagi in his lap. 'This is going to be a long night'
Setsuna was worried. She kept walking around the room and looking at her watch, Haruka and Michuru would be coming back any time now. The successful outer senshi owned a beautiful mansion right outside the City, and the Guardian of Time was always welcome here, while off the Time Gate duty. Setsuna had Usagi come over as soon as both partners left. That was almost 10 hours ago. She felt like pulling out her own hair. She should've never let Usagi travel to another dimension. They would try to figure out what to do with the Crystal here. She finally gave up and transformed. With the blink of an eye she was at the Time Gate.
"I bet the little fool got herself in trouble again."
Setsuna hated to be right all the time. She was holding a sobbing Usagi and giving her dirtiest look to the Humanoid Typhoon.
"Calm yourself, Usagi. We have other things to worry about, the most important is how we are going to get out of here!"
"What do you mean?" Usagi stopped crying.
"The only way I was able to transport you here is to draw on extra strength from your Crystal, I won't be able to transport us both back without it. I am suggesting you left the Crystal behind, but if you didn't, we will never be able to come back to this dimension again."
"Hold on." Vash narrowed his eyes. "But Usagi said that her Crystal was broken, how could you draw the power from it for the transport?"
"None of this would have happened if you didn't touch it!" Setsuna finally found someone to blame for all of her great grief besides herself. "The Crystal still had some of its power left but it was possibly damaged, nobody in our dimension knows what is wrong with it."
Vash slightly paled.
Usagi threw herself between Setsuna and Vash:
"Stop it Setsuna! It's not his fault, he didn't mean to cause any harm to my Crystal! He knew what he was doing! Besides it worked fine after Vash left, you can't blame him for anything!"
Setsuna heavily sighed and took a hold of her staff "It's just doesn't matter anymore who's fault is this, we have to go back and take him with us, if the Crystal is still in our dimension he can fix it there and then return to his own world. His power will aid us during the transport. We have to hurry before your parents, Usagi, start looking for you."
Vash didn't say a word; he took the news about his second trip to Usagi's world rather well. With the gloomy expression on his face he thought: 'I was right, everything I touch gets destroyed or damaged, even in Usagi's world I screwed something up.' He lifted his eyes and met Setsuna's icy glare. "I accept the responsibility for the Crystal and will go with you to fix the damage I have done, but please return me to the exact time I left, I have my own problems to deal with when I come back"
Setsuna snorted. "I don't care about your problems. You will go with us no matter what! Safety of our world depends on Usagi's power! Nobody asked you to touch the Crystal in the first place."
Vash sniffed "Why do you hate me so much! What have I ever done to you!"
Setsuna moved her face closer to Vash's, her voice in the dangerous whisper: "You are a potential threat to my perfect future. You will listen to every word I will say and do everything I will tell you to do, or suffer the consequences".
Vash didn't reply and moved closer to Usagi.
When the bright light surrounded them all Vash couldn't help but wonder.
"YOUR perfect future, Setsuna?"
Setsuna felt the greatest power aiding her during the transport and smirked. Maybe things were not as bad as they seemed. Usagi was still alive and this meant that the Crystal was near by and not broken. She softly landed in the middle of the room, which happened to be Haruka and Michuru's bedroom.
Usagi and Vash crashed on the floor with a loud thud tangled in a position that made Setsuna blush to the very roots of her green hair. Haruka and Michuru sitting on their bed with eyes as big as the saucers checked out the view before them and both started clapping and whistling in approval.
Setsuna let out a muffled scream and tried to help Usagi to get to her feet. The clumsy blonde finally got off the tall gunman hitting him in the jaw with her foot in the process. Vash bit his tongue and sat on the floor with his eyes full of pain and tears moaning and covering his mouth with both hands.
Haruka was first who found her voice. "So, Setsuna, Usagi, who is your friend?"
Setsuna glared at the outlaw and hatefully spat: "Usagi's male reincarnation, no less!"
Vash waved one hand in greeting still covering his mouth with another.
Setsuna cleared her throat. "I suggest all of you help us look for Usagi's Crystal."
Michiru threw the robe around her shoulders and asked with worry: "Usagi's ginzuishou is gone?" She thought of something and took her talisman mirror in her hands with a sweet smile on her face. "I think I this way we can find it much faster! If you dropped it in this house it can be anywhere!" Her smile turned into the deep frown when she looked in the mirror. "I am afraid it's not here. Actually it's not even in Tokyo!"
Setsuna stopped crawling around the room and Usagi began sobbing again. Setsuna's face showed a true horror: "That can mean only one thing: Usagi lost the ginzuishou on the way to Vash's dimension. It can be anywhere in the Galaxy!"
This was the last straw for Usagi in this the most miserable day. She finally fainted.
