Hello! Sorry for the delay, but this and the last week were just brutal
for me… I hope you still remember my nutty fanfiction and me! LOL!
I probably won't be updating the next week, because first of all - I have NOTHING for the chapter 18 and second - I AM GOING TO THE ANIME CONVENTION! Isn't it exciting? They are going to have a fanfiction workshop at the Fanime and I've been dreaming for so long to go to one of those! I'll tell you all about it! Hopefully, my writing will improve as well for the next chapter after getting some tips on the good fanfiction writing! Yeah, right…
Anyway, this chapter is longer then usual, please, enjoy!
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Kei-chan for editing this chapter and the one before that and another…blah! It is amazing how she is able to find some time for me… Thank you, dear! ::huggles::

Chapter 17: Humanoid Typhoon.
Usagi woke up and stared at the clock in the living room. God, how she would hate to give up those lovely afternoon naps when school started.
"Michiru? Haruka? Vash-chan?"
Usagi pouted. They had left her all alone and didn't even say goodbye!
The petite blond stretched, got off the couch, and then froze. Something wasn't right. She heard a faint, disturbing sound coming from the bathroom. She moved closer and peeked around the corner. The noise was definitely coming from the bathroom. Haunting, inhuman. Usagi whimpered and crouched on the floor. Who was it? An enemy, perhaps? A youma, droid, lemure? Or maybe worse! It could be that monster from yesterday's movie!
Usagi frantically looked for a weapon. A kitchen knife would be too dangerous to use; her mother wouldn't even let her wash the silverware after dinner, afraid that Usagi would cut herself. No, a knife wouldn't work so well as a hammer or a heavy candlestick. Michiru would kill Usagi for touching her beautiful pair of marble candlesticks. If she was alive, of course.
Usagi wiped the tears off her face; they probably were all gone, protecting her from the monster. She was helpless and all alone. Usagi sniffed, feeling sorry for herself. Stop. Vash had a gun in his room! Usagi crawled on all fours across the room, then got on her feet and ran upstairs. The heavy gun was probably as dangerous as a hammer, especially if she dropped it on her very own feet, but it looked scary. The monster would just run away, hopefully.
Breathing heavily, Usagi slowly moved towards the bathroom, holding the gun in both hands. She wished she had brought her ninja outfit. A black ninja was not as scary as Sailor Moon, but any kind of disguise would be better than plain old Tsukino Usagi.
Usagi moved across the living room, grabbed Michiru's purse from the magazine table, and shook the contents out. She drew war paint on her cheeks and forehead using Michiru's expensive makeup, then bared her teeth in the little mirror in a horrible grimace. Usagi froze when the noise in the bathroom got louder. She got closer to the room, trying to suppress the sudden urge to run away and never come back to this haunted house. She placed her ear to the door trying to calm her rapid breathing.
"………Won't you staaaaaaaaaayyyyy… Won't you laaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!
"Stay foreeeever and eeever and eeeeeeever and eeeeeever…
"La la la lalalalala la la la lalalalalala
"La la la lalalalala la la la lalalalalala
"I just caaaan't get you out of my heeead…"
Usagi slowly slid to the floor on her butt. The youma was singing… it was probably mocking her, after killing all her friends and loved ones."I won't forgive you!"
"There's a daaaaaark
"Seeeeeecret in meeeeeee
"Doon't leave me looocked in your heaaaaaaaaaaaart!!!!!!!!"
Usagi threw the door open—"STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU SLIMY…"—then tripped on the floor mat, flew across the small room, and fell into the water with a loud splash.
Vash tore the headphones off his head. "Usagi?"
**********
Usagi pulled her head to the surface, gulping large amounts of air into her lungs and wiping the bubbles from her eyes, smearing the paint all over her face.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!" Vash's terrified screams were heard all over Tokyo.
Hundred of miles away, Mamoru jerked his head up at the science conference and cursed.
Rei dropped her broom and ran in her room to get her communicator.
Minako and Makoto, without a second glance at the two handsome boys they were flirting with, ran into a nearby alley and transformed.
Amy tried to talk with all three senshi at the same time. "No, yes, no, no, I felt it, too, but it's not Usagi, guys! Aren't you forgetting she doesn't have her Crystal?" The girl genius rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I tracked the power down. It's in Haruka and Michiru's house. There's no trace of an enemy there. I'm thinking Vash run into some trouble, maybe Usagi cooked something for him?"
Haruka hit the brakes and then looked at Michiru. "Gods, what it is this time? The Idiot can't tie his own shoelaces?"
Michiru looked with worry at the love of her life: "Vash and Usagi could be in trouble, Haruka."
"Oh, puh-leeeeeease!!!"
Usagi found herself face to face with the very naked outlaw.
"Uh, hi!"
"What is it, Usagi? You really need to take a bath, so you came here with my gun? That's not fair! I've been here for only 15 minutes! My time is not up yet!" Vash whined, washing the makeup off Usagi's face with a washcloth. "Wow, you're a really dirty girl, Usagi!"
He giggled and covered his head with both arms when Usagi's face grew red and angry.
Usagi suddenly started laughing. "You're taking a bath? With bubbles?"
"Yeah! Wanna smell? I found the bottle in the closet, smells like lavender…" Vash closed his eyes blissfully and deeply breathed in the air.
Usagi couldn't stop giggling. "Vash, only girls take bubble baths with lavender!"
Vash's eyes lit up mischievously. When he spoke his voice was low and dangerous. "Are you questioning my gender, Usagi?" He placed his hands on both sides of the bath, slowly lifting his body out of the water…
Usagi flew out of the bathroom like a bullet. She was shaking with fury when the bathroom door shut closed with a loud thud. Vash locked the door and bent over in hysterical laugher. Usagi banged on the door with her small fists, screaming out words that Vash was afraid to use himself.
With her wet clothes clinging to her body, Usagi angrily stormed into the living room. Haruka dropped her keys on the floor.
Usagi shook Vash's gun at the startled blond. "DON'T EVEN ASK!"
Haruka smirked. "I don't think I even WANT to know, koneko-chan! But I am glad to know that you two are getting along so extremely well…" The sandy blond looked closely at Usagi. "Uh, koneko? Your nose is bleeding…"
**********
Usagi ran into her room, shut the door closed, and kicked the wall. She let out a cry of pain and fell on her bed, furiously hitting the pillow. Then she noticed her communicator with four lights blinking: red, blue, orange and green. "Oh, what now!"
Usagi pressed all four buttons and the worried faces of her senshi appeared on four little screens. "Usagi! Are you ok?"
Usagi took a quick look in the mirror and tried unsuccessfully to fix her ruffled appearance.
"Fine, really, just got in a little fight with that idiot!"
Minako laughed and winked at Usagi. "So he's an idiot now, Usagi. I thought you were so much in love with him two days ago!"
"IIEEEEEEEE! Never! He's silly, immature, and so embarrassing!"
"Sounds just like you, Usagi, ne?" Rei grinned.
"Shut up! Damn him!" Usagi tried with the full force of her mind to remove the vision of Vash from her memory: the clear drops of water on his smooth alabaster skin and his green eyes glittering with mischief and excitement.
Amy interrupted her. "Usagi! Guys! Turn on the TV! I think we've got trouble in Central Park! Here. My computer is picking up the enemy. I think that at least a dozen people lost their dream mirrors! Whatever happened between you and Vash, you better resolve it! Without Sailor Moon we'll need all the help we can get!"
"Right!" Mars, Venus and Mercury disappeared from the screen.
"Wait!"—Jupiter chewed on her lower lip—"Usagi, you think you could convince Haruka and Michiru to join us? We might need their help today… I know they're trying to stay away and all…"
Usagi nodded before pushing the button. "I'll try…"
**********
Usagi changed her wet clothes and ran downstairs. She passed Haruka and Michiru, ran into the kitchen, grabbed Vash by his hand, and dragged him outside.
Haruka blinked and looked at Michiru. Usagi stepped outside and then turned back, slamming into Vash who was right behind her. "Haruka, Michiru! The Amazon Quartet's attacking people in the park! You have to help us fight! And if you don't, Vash will have to drive Haruka's car again!"
Haruka immediately jumped off her seat. "We'll help!"
In the back seat of the car Vash sheepishly looked at Usagi. "You're not mad at me anymore?"
Usagi flushed furiously and Vash decided to change the subject. "What kind of enemy are we dealing with?"
Usagi, who was still mad at Vash, smiled viciously—"You'll see, all I can tell is you can't fight it with your gun!" —then leaned closer to the tall blond. "Oh, and thanks for the peep-show, Vash! I really enjoyed it!"
Vash visibly paled and managed to squeak out, "You're welcome!"
**********
The senshi were fighting five pink elephants with wings. Pallapalla, laughing hysterically, was floating in the air. At least a dozen people were laying unconscious around the area.
Vash's jaw hit the ground. "What in the hell…" He looked at Usagi, who was hiding next to him in the bushes. Usagi let out a cry of pain when she saw Sailor Venus stumble and fall on her butt. The pink elephant she was battling landed on top of her with a thud. Venus let out a pained cry.
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!!!"
Venus weakly waved to Sailor Jupiter, who was looking at her friend with concern and then powered up for another attack.
Vash clasped his head with both hands. "Shit! What is all this!"
Sailor Uranus crawled into the bushes next to him. "See? That's why I hate my job! Battling illusions and creatures from someone's worst nightmare is not fun, that's for sure!"
Haruka winced when both Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury were sent flying in the air by a powerful blow. "They're not doing so well; with Sailor Moon it all would be over by now."
Usagi clasped her hands together when she saw Sailor Chibi Moon jump from behind a tree. Vash's eyes got larger. Absolutely terrified, he grabbed Usagi by her shoulders. "You let her fight? Are you out of your mind?"
"She's one of us! Vash, wait!" Haruka tried to stop the blond.
Vash shook her hands off him and ran in Chibi-Usa's direction.
Pallapalla lifted her eyebrow when a tall blond man snatched the smallest of the Sailor Senshi away from the blow of one of her lemures. "How amusing… he is definitely not one of the senshi, but so unbelievably fast!
Falling in the bushes and activating his hidden machine gun, Vash fired and realized that Usagi indeed was right. He fired all of his bullets but the pink elephant that was chasing him and Chibi-Usa was unharmed.
"This is stupid, unbelievable, what is it? How do you guys fight it?"
"You should've asked that before you got involved, Vash!" Chibi-Usa was breathing heavily while they were running through the park, pink elephant in tow. "Don't you have any magical powers? Some sort of energy beam or something?"
"Yeah, but that energy beam will blow up the whole city! I can't use it here! People might get hurt!"
"Crap, now what do we do?"
Usagi stopped laughing at the funny scene Chibi Moon and Vash made running around the park in circles and clasped her chest her eyes wide in horror. "He's too far away from me! I have to run, too!"
"Sit still, koneko! You will get hurt!" Haruka pulled Usagi by her skirt. "Michi? It's up to us now…"
But before the Outer Senshi were able to enter the battle scene, Chibi Moon stopped and held up her rod. "PINK SUGAR HEART ATTACK!"
Vash watched with great interest the little pink energy hearts directed at the evil elephant and completely missing it. He tugged at Chibi Moon's skirt a little. "You should really work on your aim, girl. Here, let me help you."
Vash placed his hand on Chibi-Usa's Moon Rod, shifting her blow. With his touch, little pink hearts changed into a wide white energy beam that completely wiped out the elephant, a good portion of the park, and blew up the parking lot and an empty playground.
"Holy shit!" Haruka stopped dead in her tracks. The rest of the senshi gathered behind her, observing the damage.
Pallapalla, unable to stop her teeth from chattering, wisely decided to retreat.
Chibi-Usa squealed happily and jumped in excitement. "Woooohoooo! I've got the power!"
Vash fell on his knees, his eyes full of pain and horror. His eyes were glued at the two-mile long gap in the ground with smoke coming out of it.
Usagi was first who came out of her trance. She hurried to Vash and gently embraced him. "That blow was pretty powerful, but I'm sure that nobody got hurt."
Venus and Jupiter, with hearts in their eyes, ran to Vash. They attached themselves to his arms and stared at him with genuine adoration. "Where did you learn how to do that? That was so cool!"
Vash sniffed and tore his gaze away from Usagi's concerned face. He looked at the damage he had done, panic clearly visible in his eyes. "I… I… I'm sorry… I never thought I could do that… this is terrible…"
"Humanoid Typhoon, huh? I guess Setsuna was right about you!" Haruka watched Vash with great amusement.
"Shut up, Haruka, don't you see he's hurting?" Usagi gave Uranus her dirtiest look and firmly shook Vash by his shoulders. "Snap out of it, Vash! You didn't hurt anyone! Those elephants were not real!" Usagi placed her hands on both sides on Vash's face. "Don't be so sad, it wasn't your fault."
The outlaw's green eyes filled with tears. He took in a deep breath and let out a loud wail. Usagi stepped aside and covered her ears. Venus and Jupiter closed their open mouths and looked at each other.
"Ehh, Minako? Do you still want him? You can have him, really… I don't really need a boyfriend right now."
"Oh, no, Mako-chan, you don't really have to do that, keep him, I don't mind at all. Besides, dating him would be like dating Usagi!"
Both girls looked at each other again and said at the same time: "EWWWWW!"
Usagi was furious. "How dare you! Who said Vash would want to date either of you! That was so mean!"
Venus and Jupiter ignored her and laced their arms together.
"Wanna go to the mall, Mako-chan?"
"Sure, Minako!"
Haruka started the car, waved to Usagi, and took off.
Chibi Moon slowly backed away from the wailing Vash and angry Usagi. "Sorry, got to go, bye!" She turned around and ran in the direction of her school, stopping only for a second to yell out, "You might want to shut him up, Usagi, because people are starting to gather!"
Abandoned by her friends, Usagi sighed and looked at Vash, who threw himself on the ground while bawling his eyes out. "I can't believe it's happening to me again! What have I done to deserve this! Everywhere I go I bring disaster and destruction! I can't take it anymooooooooore!"
"Vash, shut up."
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Vash, shut up!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Shut up, or I'll kiss you!"
"…"
I probably won't be updating the next week, because first of all - I have NOTHING for the chapter 18 and second - I AM GOING TO THE ANIME CONVENTION! Isn't it exciting?
