Ossu minna-chan! here's the next chapter in my fic! As always, it starts right where the last chapter left off. Gomen, this chapter is pretty boring.
Disclaimer: I don't own SM or DBZ, but if I did own DBZ, I'd be out partying with Trunks/Gohan right now!
*~*Chapter 5*~*
Most of the Zsenshi had stayed behind to await the time when the two sailor senshi would awaken, they all had questions to ask them. Vegita had left awhile ago to train not wanting to waste his time waiting for weaklings to wake up, and Mirai Trunks with him just because he was bored. Goku was about to go join them when Bulma had suddenly returned from her check-up. Once she had entered the room, everyone had snapped to attention immediately once they saw Cosmos, they wanted to see how the well being of their new visitor was.
Relief shone on Goku's face as he saw Cosmos enter.
'She's ok' he thought 'I was so worried....Demo...why was I so worried?' he wondered 'because you care for her' another voice answered inside his head. 'I care for her as a friend, and as a great ally, nothing more, ne? And I hardly even know her..'
His thoughts were interrupted as he heard her gasp.
"You're the one's that helped us?"
"Hai, we did. Well actually, we saw you falling from the sky and I caught you before you hit the ground. " Goku heard himself answer 'why did I just tell her all of that? she didn't need to know that I caught her'
Cosmos seemed to study him 'Is that Goku? That is his voice, but his hair, and eyes are a different color' (Remember? When she first met him he was a super Sayins ). She took a chance, and assumed that is was Goku.
"Doomo arigatoo Goku-san, I owe you my life then" she said while bowing slightly. "And Doomo arigatoo minna for your concern."
Goku waved his hand dismissing the thought "Iie, don't worry about it, We're just glad that you're ok. Ne, what happened to you guys? You both were pretty beat up when we found you."
Cosmos sighed in both relief and frustration. She was glad that it really was Goku, and that she didn't make a total fool out of herself by calling someone else by his name. As for the whole situation of what happened, she wanted to discuss it with Astral before telling any of them of what occurred.
"Gomen nasai Goku-san, I'd rather not say right now."
Goku looked surprised. Why didn't she want to tell any of them? Did she feel that she couldn't trust any of them? Well it is her decision; he knew that she would tell them if she felt the need to.
" Doo Itashimashite, you don't have to tell us"
She smiled. What was it about this man that made her feel so happy?
'Man...Iie...I forgot about him...' her smile disappeared as she was suddenly reminded of her lost love.
" Mamoru..." she whispered to herself as she felt her eyes stinging from the tears gathering in her eyes.
"Daijoubu ka?" Bulma asked softly as she saw her new found friends eyes watering
"Daijoubu" she whispered loud enough so that Bulma could hear "I was just thinking about someone."
"Who?"
"An old friend of mine." she responded as she wiped away the tears with a gloved hand.
'Wait, gloved?' Cosmos glanced down at herself as she realized that she was still in her fuku. Her eyes grew wide 'Why am I still in my fuku? I thought I would have de-henshined by now....I guess not'
Everyone had noticed her sudden change in attitude, and had grown curious about what she was looking at. She seemed to be looking at the floor, so all their eyes had gone to the floor to find...nothing. That's when they realized what she was wearing as their eyes drifted upwards. They all flushed in sudden embarrassment, Goku the reddest of them all.
Cosmos glanced back up to see the redden faces of the Z-senshi, she almost laughed at all their expressions when she realized that it was because of her that they were like that.
"Gomen minna-chan, I didn't realize that I was still in my fuku"
Yamcha, who now had a trail of drool coming from his mouth suddenly asked, "Why do you wear such a short skirt that shows so muc-"
BAM!
"Itai!" he cried clutching his head (again) "Bulma, why do you have to keep on doing that?!"
"You shouldn't ask those kinds of things to a woman! Besides, if you weren't such a hormone driven baka, then I wouldn't hit you all the time" she answered, while turning back to a red faced Cosmos. "Ano...you wouldn't happen to have anything else to wear would you?"
Cosmos slowly recovering from her embarrassment nodded "H-hai I do. Just wait a second" she answered as she went behind the wall of the lounge.
They all watched the doorway through which she had left, and all jumped up in surprise as a large flash of light temporarily filled the room.
"Nani!? what was that?" asked a bewildered Krillen rubbing his eyes.
His question was answered as Usagi entered the room in an entirely different outfit, a light pink sweatshirt and loosely fitted jeans that coved her bandaged arms and legs.
(AN:now that she's not dressed in her fuku, I can call her Usagi....Gomen, I'm not too good when it comes to clothes descriptions)
"Sugoi!" exclaimed Bulma "How did you do that??"
Usagi shrugged "I don't really know. I just concentrate on wearing something different and Poof! it just happens like magic!" 'Some advantages to being a sailor senshi' she thought to herself
Bulma nodded "That kind of reminds me of when Piccolo changes his clothes without even doing anything, just like you did! Speaking of Piccolo, where is he?"
"He left awhile ago Bulma" answered Gohan
"Oh, I thought he was going to stay"
"He was but he got tired of waiting so he just left to Dendee's to meditate"
"Humph! that Namek has no patience whatsoever! I swear he-"
Usagi stopped listening to Bulma's ranting as she let her thoughts drift back to the fight she had with Mamoru. 'I'm going to have to fight the one man that I've ever loved....how can I do it? I thought he cared for me...I guess not anymore....what am I going to do? I don't know if I can really fight him!..."
"Serenity? hello? Chikyuu to Serenity! " called Bulma while waving a hand in front of her face.
Usagi blinked a few times from surprise before coming back to reality. "Oh! Gomen Bulma-san! I was just thinking about something."
"It's alright, Ano...are you still hungry?"
Food...it was the last thing on her mind, she really needed to see Astral. "Iie Bulma-san, Gomen, I'd like to go see if my friend is alright, she did worse than me during our fight."
"You mean me?" said a tired voice from the doorway. They all turned to see a now De-henshined, and bandaged Michiko being supported by Trunks.
*~*Just Moments ago*~*
Trunks left the gravity room where his father had been training 'There was no need to yell at me and call me names, I would have left if he had just asked me too....besides, I'm not that much weaker than him!..... Now what am I going to do?'
He wandered aimlessly down the halls of Capsule Corp, the sound of his father's training slowly drifting away.
He sighed 'All this technology and still nothing to do!' he thought as he looked back up from his thinking.
Surprisingly enough, he was in front of the infirmary. 'What am I doing here? did I really walk all that way from the gravity room? Oh well, might as well see how the patients are doing'
He quietly walked inside, and was surprised to find that only one of the women still remained. "Where did she go?" he voiced out loud as he looked around the room. He was about to leave to tell his mother, when he noticed a soft golden glow surround Astral.
'Nani?! what is that?!' he thought as he looked on. He heard a soft groan as Astral awoke, and the light disappeared.
"Ugh, I'm going to kill that man when I see him again" were the first words out of her mouth as she awoke. "Kuso! why does my head hurt so much?!" she cried as she held her head in her hands. That's when she realized her surroundings "Where am I?"
"You're in Capsule Corporation" a voice answered from her side. Astral turned her head to the side in surprise to find Trunks standing right next to the bed.
"Ack!" she yelped as she rolled and fell over the opposite side of the bed in surprise.
Trunks couldn't help but chuckle lightly.
When Astral realized who it was, she sighed in relief.
"So you think this was funny huh?" she said in distaste.
"Iie, I don't, but I've never seen someone as jumpy as you before" he answered as he helped her up.
"Well how would you react if you woke up in a strange place, with some stranger in front of-...wait, don't answer that"
Trunks looked confused
"I already know first hand, remember?" she reminded him when she saw the look on his face.
Trunks thought for a moment, 'what is she talking about?' then he remembered the first day that they met 'Oh yeah, I forgot about that' his cheeks reddened slightly
"Yeah I remember now" he said snapping out of his thoughts
"You should! If I hadn't reacted quickly enough I would have a broken nose right now" 'Not likely, my healing powers would have prevented it' that's when she realized the stinging pain in her arms and legs.
"Nani? what happened?" she wondered out loud, examining her wounds.
"Nande? You don't know?"
"Iie, I don't remember really, it happened so fast"
"And what would 'it' be?"
Astral glanced at Trunks 'I don't think I should tell him, I need to find Usa'
She shook her head "I need to find Serenity first" She declared, attempting to stand up. From the lack of strength, and the pain radiating from her wounds, she fell.
Trunks caught her right before she it the ground.
'I haven't felt like this in a long time' she thought
"Need some help?" Trunks asked, assisting her up once again.
"Hai, I guess I do" she replied glumly.
Trunks could tell that she liked to do things on her own, kind of like his dad, not usually wanting any help.
"Ano....I think I should change clothes first" she voiced out loud seeing that she was still in her fuku.
Trunks blinked several times, processing what she just said. He glanced down at her clothes, and turned a deep crimson as he realized what she was talking about. In his surprised state, he dropped her back on the floor, face first.
"Itai!" she exclaimed "Why did you drop me?!"
"Gomen Michiko-san! I was just surprised!" 'How can she wear something so short?!" he thought
She sighed, turning over so that she was in a sitting position "It's alright, Demo could you turn around for a second?"
Baffled by her strange request, he complied. A few seconds passed and a bright flash of light erupted from behind him. He turned right back around to find the source of the light, just to find a giggling Michiko, her clothes completely changed.
"Howwhat-?" he asked completely confused about what just occurred.
Still giggling, she answered "Gomen Trunks, I didn't mean to worry you. That light was just me changing my clothes"
He nodded, his expressing blank. He was still phased about the whole thing.
"Ano....Could we go find the others?"
"H-hai, let's go" he answered while helping her up. He supported her while they walked down the halls to the lounge.
*~*Currently*~*
"Michiko! Daijoubu ka?" Usagi asked while stumbling over to her friend and embracing her.
"Hai, Daijoubu" she answered returning the embrace "Demo, how about you? That Bakayaro didn't do anything to you did he??"
Usagi hesitated. Then turned back to face the others in the room "Gomen minna, I would like to speak to Michiko alone if you don't mind"
They all looked at each other, and shrugged, not yet making any move to leave.
"It's ok Serenity-san, let's ALL leave these two alone for a bit" Bulma said, gesturing for everyone to leave with a stern expression on her face.
They all hastened to leave, not wanting to make Bulma mad.
" Arigato Bulma-san"
Bulma smiled and nodded before turning to leave through the doorway.
"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?! DIDN'T I JUST SAY TO LEAVE THEM ALONE?!?!" cried Bulma's voice from the doorway.
Serveral choruses of "Gomen Bulma" echoed though the doorway, along with loud shuffling as they all made their way to somewhere else in Capsule Corporation.
Usagi giggled "They're all good people, I just hope that they don't get involved with the upcoming battle."
"What upcoming battle? and what happened at the palace?"
Usagi's expression became cold and hard, "Chaos has returned"
"NANI?! are you sure?!"
"Hai, M-mamoru told me h-himself" Usagi answered choking on her words slightly.
"Masaka....How can it be? You killed both Galaxia and Chaos"
Usagi shook her head, "Iie, Chaos was reborn into Sailor Chaos from the cauldron because part of it's essence was in it. It was bound to happen since I did not destroy it"
Michiko nodded in understanding. "What does she hope to gain this time?"
"I don't know, but she is using the golden bracelets again"
"T-then that means she out to get out star seeds again!"
"Hai, I'm afraid so"
Michiko nodded, "This battle with Chaos will be harder than the last, now that you are Cosmos."
"Hai, I know, we are both equal in strength now"
"What are we to do?"
She shrugged "I don't know, but I don't want to involve the Zsenshi unless we need to."
"I agree, perhaps I should travel back to my kingdom to enlist the sailor star's help"
"Hai, I think you should, but we are both too weak to do anything right now"
"I noticed. What happened anyways?"
Usagi explained the battle with Mamoru and why they both felt so drained, and why neither of their wounds had healed properly.
"That kono yaro!! I'm going to kill him when I see him again!" exclaimed Michiko with her fists clenched. But she then realized what her friend must be going through.
"Demo, Usa, do you think you can go against him?"
"I don't know...I've fought him before...Demo this isn't the same, he could lose his life permanently.....He's not the same man he once was." Her eyes hardened in determination "I can do it" she declared
"Are you sure Usa? I will understand if you can't"
"Iie, I can, and I will"
"Fine, but do you think we should tell the Zsenshi about this?"
"Perhaps, demo I'm too tired to think about it"
"Hai, so am I. Let's go find Bulma"
They both left the room, concentrating on the ki of the blue haired women. They soon found her outside, as Goku and Gohan were preparing to leave. The others had already left (It's nighttime)
"Bulma-san!" Usagi called out
Bulma, along with everyone else turned to face her. "Oh! so you're both done!"
"Hai, we are. Ano...we were both wondering if we could stay here for just tonight. By tomorrow, we will both leave."
Bulma nodded her head "Hai, you can stay here if you would like, demo you're not leaving tomorrow"
"Nani?! Why not?" asked a bewildered Usagi
"You're both too weak to be going anywhere! I'm not letting either of you leave until you're fully recovered!" 'I also want to find out more about them before they leave.' she thought
Michiko almost laughed. She knew that Bulma was always like this from the times which she had been watching over them. No matter what they said, she'd never let them go until she was sure that they were ok.
"Alright Bulma-san, we will stay"
Usagi was shocked
**telepathic link**
'What are you doing Michiko?! If we stay, then we will not be able to prepare for our battle'
'Don't worry Usa, Bulma is only doing what she thinks is best. there's no use in arguing with her because she will not take 'No' for an answer.'
'I don't know...'
'besides, we should be fully healed by tomorrow, so then she will have to let us leave'
'Oh....you're right, fine then but if she doesn't let us go I'm blaming you'
'Fine fine, whatever you say'
**End**
"Alright Bulma-san we will stay until you see us fit to leave" agreed Usagi
"Great!! Now-" Bulma never got to finish her sentence when suddenly,
BOOM! (heehee)
A huge explosion rocked the Capsule Corp grounds as part of the complex was destroyed.
"VEGITA YOU BAKA!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO DO YOUR TRAINING OUSIDE THE GRAVITY ROOM?!" Yelled a angry, red faced Bulma.
"Stop your barking woman, one of those idiotic robots went crazy and I just stopped it from destroying the place!" explained Vegita from the flaming wreckage, not a scratch on him.
"YOU DIDN'T AVOID DESTROYING IT EITHER BAKA!!!!! ARGG VEGITA! OMAE O KOROSU!!!!!!!!"
"I'd like to see you try woman!" he yelled, now back inside the house.
Bulma growled 'Why did I ever-'
Meanwhile, the two sailor senshi behind Bulma watched with vacant expressions on their face, as they watched the strange scene unfold before them. Goku and Gohan on the other hand, were acting in the most casual manner, as if this were a everyday occurrence for them.
"Ano...Bulma-san?" Usagi spoke up
She swung back around, her expression softening slightly as she saw the spectators behind her.
"Gomen, but I'm afraid most of our guest rooms have been destroyed by that baka ooji no Sayians. There's only one room left now..."
"One of you can stay at our house!" spoke up Gohan
They all turned to look at the small boy.
"Can they tousan?"
Goku considered it for a moment, "I guess, if it's alright with you Bulma"
"Hai, it is with me. How about you guys?" she asked Usagi and Michiko.
They both nodded.
"Great, then it's settled! One of you can stay here, while the other goes with Goku and Gohan!"
'You can go Usa' said Michiko telepathically
'Soo ka?'
'Hai'
"I'll go with you Goku-san" said Usagi stepping forward
Goku's heart seemed to leap.
"Alright, but please, call me Goku"
"Alright, Goku" Usagi yawned and stumbled backwards in the process "Gomen, but I'm really tired, can we go now?"
"Hai, ready to go Gohan?"
"Hai tousan!"
"Alright well let's get going!" he said while jumping into the air.
Usagi had a blank look on her face "Ano...Goku I can't fly"
"Soo ka?"
"Hai"
Goku turned red slightly, but it was not visible in the night's light "Well I guess I could carry you"
"Ok.." She agreed hesitantly as turned back around " Sayoonara Michiko, Bulma-san, see you tomorrow"
"Sayoonara!" they chorused together as they watched Goku pick her up and fly off towards his home.
*****
A few minutes in the air, Usagi had already fallen dead asleep in Goku's arms.
'She really is a tenshi' he thought as he watched her peaceful sleep.
"Hey tousan!" called out Gohan, making sure not to wake Usagi.
"hmm?"
"Why didn't you just call Nimbus?"
Goku's expression turned to a sheepish one as the thought occurred to him.
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" he said chuckling slightly. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it now"
*~*End chapter 5*~*

They all hastened to leave, not wanting to make Bulma mad.
" Arigato Bulma-san"
Bulma smiled and nodded before turning to leave through the doorway.
"WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?! DIDN'T I JUST SAY TO LEAVE THEM ALONE?!?!" cried Bulma's voice from the doorway.
Serveral choruses of "Gomen Bulma" echoed though the doorway, along with loud shuffling as they all made their way to somewhere else in Capsule Corporation.
Usagi giggled "They're all good people, I just hope that they don't get involved with the upcoming battle."
"What upcoming battle? and what happened at the palace?"
Usagi's expression became cold and hard, "Chaos has returned"
"NANI?! are you sure?!"
"Hai, M-mamoru told me h-himself" Usagi answered choking on her words slightly.
"Masaka....How can it be? You killed both Galaxia and Chaos"
Usagi shook her head, "Iie, Chaos was reborn into Sailor Chaos from the cauldron because part of it's essence was in it. It was bound to happen since I did not destroy it"
Michiko nodded in understanding. "What does she hope to gain this time?"
"I don't know, but she is using the golden bracelets again"
"T-then that means she out to get out star seeds again!"
"Hai, I'm afraid so"
Michiko nodded, "This battle with Chaos will be harder than the last, now that you are Cosmos."
"Hai, I know, we are both equal in strength now"
"What are we to do?"
She shrugged "I don't know, but I don't want to involve the Zsenshi unless we need to."
"I agree, perhaps I should travel back to my kingdom to enlist the sailor star's help"
"Hai, I think you should, but we are both too weak to do anything right now"
"I noticed. What happened anyways?"
Usagi explained the battle with Mamoru and why they both felt so drained, and why neither of their wounds had healed properly.
"That kono yaro!! I'm going to kill him when I see him again!" exclaimed Michiko with her fists clenched. But she then realized what her friend must be going through.
"Demo, Usa, do you think you can go against him?"
"I don't know...I've fought him before...Demo this isn't the same, he could lose his life permanently.....He's not the same man he once was." Her eyes hardened in determination "I can do it" she declared
"Are you sure Usa? I will understand if you can't"
"Iie, I can, and I will"
"Fine, but do you think we should tell the Zsenshi about this?"
"Perhaps, demo I'm too tired to think about it"
"Hai, so am I. Let's go find Bulma"
They both left the room, concentrating on the ki of the blue haired women. They soon found her outside, as Goku and Gohan were preparing to leave. The others had already left (It's nighttime)
"Bulma-san!" Usagi called out
Bulma, along with everyone else turned to face her. "Oh! so you're both done!"
"Hai, we are. Ano...we were both wondering if we could stay here for just tonight. By tomorrow, we will both leave."
Bulma nodded her head "Hai, you can stay here if you would like, demo you're not leaving tomorrow"
"Nani?! Why not?" asked a bewildered Usagi
"You're both too weak to be going anywhere! I'm not letting either of you leave until you're fully recovered!" 'I also want to find out more about them before they leave.' she thought
Michiko almost laughed. She knew that Bulma was always like this from the times which she had been watching over them. No matter what they said, she'd never let them go until she was sure that they were ok.
"Alright Bulma-san, we will stay"
Usagi was shocked
**telepathic link**
'What are you doing Michiko?! If we stay, then we will not be able to prepare for our battle'
'Don't worry Usa, Bulma is only doing what she thinks is best. there's no use in arguing with her because she will not take 'No' for an answer.'
'I don't know...'
'besides, we should be fully healed by tomorrow, so then she will have to let us leave'
'Oh....you're right, fine then but if she doesn't let us go I'm blaming you'
'Fine fine, whatever you say'
**End**
"Alright Bulma-san we will stay until you see us fit to leave" agreed Usagi
"Great!! Now-" Bulma never got to finish her sentence when suddenly,
BOOM! (heehee)
A huge explosion rocked the Capsule Corp grounds as part of the complex was destroyed.
"VEGITA YOU BAKA!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO DO YOUR TRAINING OUSIDE THE GRAVITY ROOM?!" Yelled a angry, red faced Bulma.
"Stop your barking woman, one of those idiotic robots went crazy and I just stopped it from destroying the place!" explained Vegita from the flaming wreckage, not a scratch on him.
"YOU DIDN'T AVOID DESTROYING IT EITHER BAKA!!!!! ARGG VEGITA! OMAE O KOROSU!!!!!!!!"
"I'd like to see you try woman!" he yelled, now back inside the house.
Bulma growled 'Why did I ever-'
Meanwhile, the two sailor senshi behind Bulma watched with vacant expressions on their face, as they watched the strange scene unfold before them. Goku and Gohan on the other hand, were acting in the most casual manner, as if this were a everyday occurrence for them.
"Ano...Bulma-san?" Usagi spoke up
She swung back around, her expression softening slightly as she saw the spectators behind her.
"Gomen, but I'm afraid most of our guest rooms have been destroyed by that baka ooji no Sayians. There's only one room left now..."
"One of you can stay at our house!" spoke up Gohan
They all turned to look at the small boy.
"Can they tousan?"
Goku considered it for a moment, "I guess, if it's alright with you Bulma"
"Hai, it is with me. How about you guys?" she asked Usagi and Michiko.
They both nodded.
"Great, then it's settled! One of you can stay here, while the other goes with Goku and Gohan!"
'You can go Usa' said Michiko telepathically
'Soo ka?'
'Hai'
"I'll go with you Goku-san" said Usagi stepping forward
Goku's heart seemed to leap.
"Alright, but please, call me Goku"
"Alright, Goku" Usagi yawned and stumbled backwards in the process "Gomen, but I'm really tired, can we go now?"
"Hai, ready to go Gohan?"
"Hai tousan!"
"Alright well let's get going!" he said while jumping into the air.
Usagi had a blank look on her face "Ano...Goku I can't fly"
"Soo ka?"
"Hai"
Goku turned red slightly, but it was not visible in the night's light "Well I guess I could carry you"
"Ok.." She agreed hesitantly as turned back around " Sayoonara Michiko, Bulma-san, see you tomorrow"
"Sayoonara!" they chorused together as they watched Goku pick her up and fly off towards his home.
*****
A few minutes in the air, Usagi had already fallen dead asleep in Goku's arms.
'She really is a tenshi' he thought as he watched her peaceful sleep.
"Hey tousan!" called out Gohan, making sure not to wake Usagi.
"hmm?"
"Why didn't you just call Nimbus?"
Goku's expression turned to a sheepish one as the thought occurred to him.
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" he said chuckling slightly. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it now"
