Hi again! This chapter is rather pointless to begin with, but the
ending holds more importance to the story line. Dedicated to moon-bunny-87,
and ari-chan, who both voted for a Usa/Wufei fic. It's on its way, but this
should hold you over till I get to post it.
Men With Guns. Chapter 5 - Oh, Starry night.
Nearly three full days had passed since Dr J and Dr M's arrival. Dr M had started her evaluation on Heero, and Dou was just at the end of section two. Next he would be working on his flying in Skills and Technique. God save them when that happened.
It was just on midnight. Usagi had been checking on equipment for the next days training lesson. She had just about been to her room when a cool breeze whipped down the hall. Usagi frowned at this. All the doors should have been closed and locked for the night. And no air should be coming from any of the bedroom windows because all the guest room doors were closed for privacy. Following the air current, the silver haired girl found herself on the roof of the mansion, gazing at the silhouetted back of Wufei.
"You miss her, don't you?" She asked softly. Wufei jumped and turned.
"I don't know what you mean." His voice was unsteady, and the moonlight picked up his tears turning them to diamonds.
"Yes you do." She sat beside him. "It's obvious in everything you do. The way you act, the way you talk, the way you fight. the way you call all women 'week onna's'. She must have been very special to effect you as much as she has."
Wufei was silent as he turned his gaze back to the moon. "She was."
Usagi pulled her legs beneath her and got comfy. "Tell me about her. Please."
Wufei hesitated slightly before beginning softly, "Miran. was my wife. She was the most beautiful person I knew, inside and out." Usagi lay a comforting hand on his shoulder, showing him she understood this wasn't easy for him. "We were young, but we were happy together. But then OZ came. Miran. Miran died. I guess I was angry that she couldn't protect herself, that she wasn't strong enough." Tears came to his eyes and the Chinese boy was surprised as Usagi's delicate arms came around him in a comforting hug. He stiffened and hesitated slightly before returning the embrace, Usagi's soothing words easing the ache in his heart.
After a while Wufei's tears dried up and he sat up again. "Thank you, Usagi." He thanked her gratefully. "I guess that had been building."
"Are you going to be alright?" She asked him softly.
"Wufei took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "I will be." Usagi smiled at him and stood.
"I'm glad. Now come on, you should get some sleep. Or you're going to look terrible on the morning." Wufei smirked back and grabbed her offered hand. Usagi helped him to his feet and together they walked back to their rooms.

Setsuna watched from her place under the shade of the outdoor pavilion as Usagi slowly taught Duo to control ki. Admiration welled in her as the silver haired girl patiently passed on her knowledge of energy manipulation to her pupil. Her princess had exceeded any expectations her royal mother may had had of her. Of course that may just have been her saiya-jin powers working with the Silver Crystal: that was still locked in her sub-space pocket until she remembered how to open it.
*If she remembers.* Setsuna thought, vexed. During the final battle the Sailor Senshi had all given their life energy to help their princess win against Chaos. It had been a tough fight, but Cosmos had finally managed to banish Chaos using the Sword of Sealing. Left alone in the darkness of space, knowing she was about to die, the exhausted warrior woman had made a wish to the Fates. A wish for all her protectors and friends to be reborn to live normal lives.
The Fate's, agreeing that she had fulfilled her duties sufficiently, also made sure Cosmos was reborn. But something went wrong. Instead of being reborn in the newly defended dimension that she had always existed in, the princess's soul had been transported to another dimension and Serenity had be born to Vegeta and Bulma Briefs. And of course wherever the Princess went the Senshi went too.
By some twist of fate Serenity had ended up looking exactly as she did in her previous lifetime; a young Sailor Cosmos. But the other Senshi had not. Mina had ended up being reborn as a girl in Usagi's high school named Eraser; still a little ditzy, but always friendly. Ever loving to fight Lita had been reborn as a talented martial artist named Videl; who coincidently had already been introduced to her princess when she married the son of a close family friends. Amy had been really lucky and had been reborn as Usagi's twin sister, Bra; and although a little more out going than the quiet brain she used to be, was still addicted to learning. Raye was still hot-tempered and just a little bossy ; she had been reborn as a girl in Usagi's homeroom, and strangely enough her name remained very much the same and was now spelled R-E-I with Japanese spelling. The other Outers hadn't resurfaced yet but like herself Setsuna knew they had been reborn. It was just where that puzzled her.
The green haired lady smirked as she watched Usagi grunt as she blocked a ki blast from Dou at close range. The boy had a strong soul, just like all the Gundam pilots, but training Usagi had been giving him had brought out his potential, making him a challenging opponent. Yet no matter how much Dou improved Usagi would always be stronger, her soul was too pure.
It also might have something to do with Usagi subconsciously remembering being Sailor Cosmos. Setsuna had been shocked as hell when Usagi had used her celestial cannon, one of Cosmos's weakest attacks; it drew it's energy from the girls guide and patron the stars and was then channelled through her body. It hadn't taken long for Pluto to discover that the young teen had also mastered several other attacks all drawing energy from the heavens.
Setsuna kept her eyes on her princess as Dr J started questioning the silver haired girl on her training as Dou stopped for a drink. Perhaps it was time to have a little talk with her princess and get to know her again. She contemplated reviving the princess's memories but bulked. Her wish had been to live normal lives. She would have to wait and see on that matter.
Intrigued yet? Let's hope so. Please continue to review, and I'll see you next time.
