Hello! Thanks for the reviews and for your concern for me, guys. ::sobbing:: I am so touched! I am feeling much better but this new chapter is still crazy for some reason. And perverted. Don't blame me, I am forced to watch Ranma 1/2 almost everyday! Grrrrrr, blast that perverted show!
Kei-chan, I don't even know how to thank you for all the wonderful editing job you do for me.
Tenshi no Nozomi - Thanks for the idea for the title of this chapter.

Chapter 10. Demon Child
* * * * *
Michiru woke up and realized that Haruka was nowhere to be found. She ran downstairs and was greeted with a sight of the love of her life loudly snoring on the couch.
Michiru wrinkled her nose when she smelled alcohol. "Oh, God! How disgusting!"
She found Vash sleeping on the bathroom floor curled into a tight ball within reachable distance of the toilet. The aqua-haired beauty unsuccessfully tried to move the blond man when she heard a loud scream behind her back.
Usagi stood there with eyes full of fear and tears. "Michiru! Is he dead? You've killed him! How could you!"
"Shut your pretty mouth up, Usagi-chan, and help me! We have to get him upstairs to his room. Haruka and Vash spent the whole night drinking! I can't believe it! She will have a lot of explaining to do!"
Even with Usagi's help Michiru couldn't move Vash even an inch. She sighed and pulled out her transformation stick.
Haruka groaned, clasping her head with both hands and looked at Sailor Neptune with worry. "Is there a youma?"
"Yes, love, look in the mirror."
"Oh, did I use my attack already? The world is shaking and spinning." Haruka fell back on the couch.
Sailor Neptune picked up the heavy outlaw and carried him upstairs. Usagi followed her to the bedroom. They both were able to take off his boots, socks, and soiled shirt.
Neptune looked at Usagi and grinned. "Who gets to take his pants off, Usagi-chan? Rock, paper, scissors? "
Usagi flushed and covered Vash's hips with the blanket.
Michiru laughed. "Oh, geez, Usagi, I'm not interested, really!"
Giving her senshi a dirty look, Usagi placed her hands under the covers and unzipped Vash's pants. Neptune carefully lifted the unconscious man while Usagi pulled his pants down to his ankles. Madly blushing, Usagi tried to fully cover Vash when Michiru stopped her. She lightly touched his almost hairless legs and whistled. "Wow! Another lucky blond! But it's very unusual for a man."
Usagi pulled on the blanket in Michiru's hands. "He is not really a human, you know."
Neptune's eyes were glittering with mischief. She pulled harder on the blanket, trying to remove it from Vash. "An alien? NOW I'm interested!"
"IIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!" Usagi was scandalized. "You're taking advantage of him!"
They both stopped when Vash whimpered in his sleep and turned on his stomach.
"Damn," Michiru pouted. "Now we won't be able to see anything! I think he heard us."
"What were you trying to see, Michi, dear?" Haruka was leaning against the door.
Michiru flushed and changed the subject. "What exactly was going on here last night, Haruka?"
She followed her mate downstairs and Usagi could hear them arguing.
The little blond yawned and curled up against Vash, instantly falling asleep.
*********************
Vash woke up a few hours later with a terrible headache. He had to pull on his hair to make sure that he was not dreaming when he saw Usagi intimately snuggled against him with her bare leg on top of his. Vash whimpered and fell off the bed. Visions of Wolfwood with the sword, Mamoru with the Cross-Punisher, and Mr. Tsukino with the whole Nebraska family in tow entered his mind. He slapped himself in the forehead. "She is only a child, for God's sake!" He picked up Usagi's shoe off the floor and hit himself in the face with it numerous times. "Knock. It. Off. Vash. The. Stampede."
"Do you always do that in the morning? What an interesting way to wake up! Is it working? I should try that when school starts!" Usagi was hanging off the bed watching Vash with great interest.
"Hey, kid! Don't start with me! And what the hell are you doing in my bed anyway? You have a child with another man! How could you do this to me!" Vash dramatically whimpered.
"Wow, wow, hold on, Vash." Usagi took her shoe away from the gunman. "Well, I never had a chance to tell you. I need to pick her up from summer school, so here is your chance to meet my future daughter. But I'm telling you, Vash: Chibi-Usa is nothing but a brat! And don't tell me that I didn't warn you!"
*********************
They got off the bus at the same time Mamoru's red car pulled into the school's parking lot.
Mamoru met the couple halfway to the school and scolded Usagi. "Usako, you were supposed to pick her up an hour ago. I got a call from the school because your parents were not home. You really should be more responsible."
Usagi blushed with shame and prepared for the worst when she saw Chibi-Usa marching in their direction.
Vash's jaw hit the floor when he saw Usagi's miniature hitting her future mother with her tiny fists and screaming in rage. Mamoru was trying to break the fight up with a look of the pure pain on his face. He wasn't helping. Eventually, Usagi stormed off in an unknown direction, leaving her future family and Vash standing alone in the parking lot.
Mamoru sighed and picked up Chibi-Usa, who finally noticed Vash. She blinked a few times and then opened her pink mouth. "And who in the hell..."
Vash placed his finger on her lips to silence her. "There, little pink ladies are not supposed to use bad words like that. Leave those to your mom and dad." Vash sweetly smiled when her crimson eyes got as big as the dinner plates.
Vash turned his attention to Mamoru. "Take the girl home and I'll find Usagi. You obviously can't handle the two of them now."
Mamoru placed Chibi-Usa on the ground. The pink-haired girl suddenly kicked Vash's knee with her foot. "My mother is off limits, blondie!"
Vash grabbed his throbbing leg. "That hurt! Why did you do that!"
Chibi-Usa narrowed her eyes at the blond man. "Because I hate you!"
Vash pouted and then winked at the girl. "Oh, well, I guess that's nice too, because you are going to be the only little girl who doesn't want to marry me!"
Mamoru hurried and took Chibi-Usa to his car, giving Vash an apologetic smile.
*********************
Vash found Usagi quietly sobbing on the bench in the schoolyard. He really didn't know how to approach her. Girls were hard to deal with. Usagi wasn't a child but nor was she a grown woman.
He gently pulled her hands away from her face. "You know, Usagi, you are making me look really bad. I'm getting dirty stares from all the people passing by. They think that I've made you upset."
"Sorry." Usagi looked at Vash. "That brat brings out the worst in me."
Vash playfully tugged at one of her ponytails. "She probably misses her mother from the future. She expects you to be just like her but fails to realize that it's not going to happen until you become her mother for real. You need to explain it to her; maybe you will be able to become friends. And don't try to have a mother-daughter relationship--you aren't ready for that yet, it's just not natural. You're only fifteen."
Usagi smiled through the tears. "When you talk about it, it seems so easy. Thank you, Vash. I wish she would stop hanging all over Mamo-chan."
Vash cringed. "He reminds her of her father in the future. I am sure he acts not much different from his future self."
"You're probably right, I've never thought of it before." Usagi got to her feet. "I need to get back home, I have a sleepover with the girls tonight. You think you'll be able to get back home all by yourself?"
Vash thought of reminding Usagi of exactly how old he was, but changed his mind and smiled at her, nodding his head.
Usagi got on her tiptoes and gave a flushing Vash a peck on the cheek. "Now, Vash, go home, don't talk to the strangers on the way, and don't wander around! Ja ne!"
Kei-chan, I don't even know how to thank you for all the wonderful editing job you do for me.
