Chapter 8
Usagi broke the kiss and Duo stared down at her in shock, before she fell unconscious in his arms. He looked up at the rest, noticing the deep scowl on Heero's face and the look of shock on Quatre's. Haruka seemed to be trying not to get upset, but it was obvious she was ready to deck Duo. Wufei remained completely emotionless, his arms crossed over his chest as he muttered something about weak women due to the fact Usagi had fainted.
"Let's get out of here before something else happens." Haruka said, biting down on her lip to keep from screaming at Duo. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement as Duo picked an unconscious Usagi up in his arms. The shock of the kiss was still apparent on his face as he followed the group.

Rei sat on the edge of the bed, worry etched into her features.
"I can't take it anymore! Where are they?!" She demanded, jumping to her feet. She began to walk toward a mirror in the hallway, ready to plunge in when she felt two hands grab her roughly from behind. "Let me go!" She shouted, trying to pull away. The hands tightened and she looked up to see Trowa holding her tightly from behind.
"You can't go in there, what about ChibiUsa?" He asked in a quiet voice. He felt her relax and gently released her, hearing her sigh in defeat.
"I can't take this waiting. That odango atama is gonna get an ear full when she gets out of there! How dare her make me worry like this!" She said, her worry turning into anger.
"Rei, I'm hungry." Came a familiar voice. Rei turned to see the pink-haired princess walking toward her, holding a small rabbit animal in her arms.
"Come on, ChibiUsa-chan, I'll make you something to eat," Rei said, taking the girl's hand. She led her into the kitchen of Trowa's apartment, pulling out a chair at the table. Trowa followed them into the room, sitting across from ChibiUsa. "Are you hungry too?" Rei asked, looking at Trowa.
"…."
"Did you hear me?" She asked, a frustrated look on her face. "Why don't you ever talk?!" She demanded, her face turning red. "I asked you a question!" She nearly shouted.
"…."
"I give up." She said, throwing her arms up in defeat. She turned her attention back to the stove and turned it on, her lessons from Makoto coming back to her. After about twenty minutes, she filled three plates, setting one in front of ChibiUsa and Trowa and sitting down with the third in front of her. ChibiUsa dug in immediately, looking so much like Usagi it wasn't funny.
"This is so good, Rei…" She said in between bites. "Yummy, I wish Mommy could cook like this." She said, her pace not slowing the least bit. Trowa ate slowly, not saying a word as he quietly finished.
"I'm glad you like it ChibiUsa. I guess those cooking lessons from Mako-chan paid off." She said, chuckling to herself as she began to clear the plates off the table.
"ChibiUsa-chan…" A voice came from behind. ChibiUsa turned her head to see Mamoru walking toward them, an innocent look on his face.
"Daddy!" ChibiUsa cried as she ran toward Mamoru.
"ChibiUsa! Come back!" Rei cried, grabbing the girl from behind.
"Nani? Let go Rei! I want to see Daddy!" ChibiUsa protested.
"No, ChibiUsa-chan, wait until your Mother is back. I'm supposed to protect you from everything, even him." Rei said, glaring at Mamoru. ChibiUsa sighed but obliged.
"Sorry daddy, I'll play later." She said as she walked back to the table.
"ChibiUsa and I are going home as soon as Usako is back." Mamoru said firmly.
"And if they don't want to?" Rei asked, glaring at Mamoru.
"If they don't want to, I'll force them back." Mamoru said, glaring back at Rei.
"I do not have to listen to your orders, Mamoru," Rei said firmly. "I am the guardian of Neo Queen Serenity, she is the ruler, not you." She said in a cold voice.
"Daddy, Mommy will be back soon," ChibiUsa said as she turned her attention back to the dark-haired man. "I have to listen to Rei-sama until Mommy gets back."
"Come on ChibiUsa, Daddy will take you home." Mamoru said encouragingly.
"No, I told Mommy I'd stay with Rei." ChibiUsa said simply as she attached herself to Rei's leg. Trowa stepped in front of Rei, putting an arm out.
"I'll have to ask you to leave." Trowa said in a quiet voice.
"I don't take orders from low class soldiers. I am King Endymion, I do not take orders from anyone." Mamoru said firmly. Trowa sighed and pulled his gun.
"I guess I have no choice but to kill you, then." Trowa said as he cocked the gun, preparing to fire.

"Look, that's Trowa's apartment!" Quatre cried as they came to a mirror.
"Are you sure Quatre?" Haruka asked, looking suspiciously through the mirror.
"Of course, look, there's his mask!" Quatre said, pointing to a mask that lay on the chair.
"Let's get out of here before we're trapped forever." Heero said as he took Usagi from Duo's arms. Duo started to protest but then noticed the glare he was receiving from Heero and stopped. Heero stepped past Haruka and Quatre through the mirror…

"I'm warning you, boy, you'd better move out of my way right now." Mamoru growled, as he took a step toward Trowa. Trowa pulled the trigger, sending a bullet straight at Mamoru. Mamoru pulled out a rose, throwing it at the bullet as it hurtled toward him. The rose struck the bullet and split it in half, both pieces of the bullet falling harmlessly to the floor.
"What do you want with ChibiUsa?" Rei asked, stepping up next to Trowa.
"She's my daughter, what do you think?" He asked bitterly. He lunged at Rei, knocking her to the floor. He was surprised when he found himself sprawled out on his back, a very calm Trowa looking down on him.
"That was a cool trick, Trowa," ChibiUsa cheered. "Do it again!" She cried, clapping her hands. Trowa smiled over at ChibiUsa and walked to her side, putting a hand on her head.
"Maybe later." He said calmly as he turned back to Mamoru, who was now on his feet.
"No one gets the better of me…" He growled as he lunged at Trowa. Trowa easily dodged him, sending Mamoru crashing into the wall. Before Trowa could react, Mamoru threw a barrage of roses at him, pinning him up against the wall.
"Mar Crystal Power Make-UP!!" Rei cried, holding up her henshin stick. A moment later, Super Sailor Mars stood in front of Trowa, a ball of fire in her palm. "I suggest you leave Mamoru." She said, tossing the fire up and down a few times.
"Sorry, Mars, I have plans." Mamoru said as he grabbed ChibiUsa and disappeared a moment later.
"ChibiUsa!!" She shouted, watching in horror as ChibiUsa disappeared with Mamoru. "No!!" She shrieked, running to where they had been moments before.
****
"Hmm… where am I?" Usagi asked, her cerulean blue eyes opening to meet the prussian blue ones of Heero. She heard a shriek seconds later and Heero ran into the kitchen, Usagi still in his arms.
"ChibiUsa!!" She heard Rei shriek as they ran into the room. They looked and saw Trowa pinned to the wall with black roses and Rei was on her hands and knees, tears streaming down her face.
"Rei-chan?" She asked as Heero put her down. She went to her best friend's side. "What's wrong?"
"Usagi-chan.." She gasped, seeing the bruised girl before her. "I'm so sorry, Mamoru took ChibiUsa. I don't know why, but she's gone," She whimpered. "I'll never forgive myself, I couldn't save her."
"Rei-chan, it's all right…" She whispered, feeling Rei's shoulders heave as she sobbed. "I know you did all you could, that's all that I can expect."
"As the Queen's guardian, I should have been there for the princess." Rei protested.
"No Rei-chan, you did all you could," She assured her. "I don't blame you, I swear we'll get ChibiUsa back…"
"Usagi." She heard Heero's voice behind her.
"Huh? What is it Heero?" She asked as she walked up to him.
"I need to talk to you alone." He said as he took her hand and led her into the living room.
"What's wrong Heero?" Usagi asked, looking into his prussian blue eyes.
"Why did you kiss Duo like that back there?" He asked, his voice going cold as he said the name 'Duo' and 'kiss' in the same sentence.
"That's easy, I love Duo." She said smiling.
"Love him?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I've always loved him. That's why I came here, remember?" Usagi asked, acting like Heero was crazy.
****
'I wonder why she kissed me…' Duo thought to himself as he sat at the table, his head in his hands. 'Not that I'm complaining, though. I just know one of these guys are gonna kill me, though' He thought as a shudder ran through his body.
"Duo, you keep your hands off of Koneko-chan." Haruka warned.
"Hey, she's the one that kissed me, remember?" He asked, his eyes narrowed. He saw the glare Haruka was giving him and decided not to push it. Haruka wouldn't think twice about killing him, especially after that kiss. 'What's taking so long?' He asked himself as he put his head back down on the table.
"Duo-chan." Usagi' voice cooed as she walked into the room and sat down next to him. He picked up his head and looked at him, her eyes looking slightly glassy.
"Chan?" He asked, scooting away slightly. He saw the glare he was getting from Heero and felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle. She pouted playfully.
"What, I can't call you chan?" She asked, scooting her chair closer to him. Duo laughed nervously as a sweatdrop slid down his face. 'Kuso, these guys are gonna kill me.' He thought as he stood up and walked away from her. "What's wrong Duo-chan?" She asked as she stood up and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist. She felt his muscles tighten as he pulled away. "What's wrong Duo?" She asked, looking confused.
"What's going on Usagi. You love Heero, not me." Duo said, feeling uncomfortable. He knew her feelings weren't true, there was no way they could be true.
"Heero? Me?" She asked, looking shocked. "Are you feeling all right, Duo?" She asked, putting her tiny hand on his forehead. He pulled her hand away, pushing her back a little.
"I'm all right, what did Nephelina do to you?" He asked, slowly making his way into the next room. She followed him into the next room, taking his hand in hers.
"I feel great Duo," She said, smiling at him. "I love you." She continued as she pressed her lips against his, kissing him deeply. He pulled away, knowing that the feelings weren't true.
"I can't do this…" He said to himself as he headed for the door.
"Duo-chan, come back!" She said, chasing him out the door. "Please come back!" She called, running down the street after him. She stopped running a minute later when she knew she couldn't catch up. 'What's wrong with him? I thought he remembered me…' Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to meet the eyes of Haruka.
"Koneko-chan," She said, turning Usagi around and slowly walking back toward Trowa's apartment. "Don't worry about him, he'll be all right." Haruka explained.
"What's wrong with him Haruka?" She asked, looking up at the older woman. "He acted like he didn't really love me. Why did he run away? Did he forget about me?"
"…." Usagi's eyes cast to the ground when she didn't get an answer from Haruka. Haruka bit down on her lip as she heard Usagi say she loved Duo. Something had happened to her during that fight, she didn't know what, though.
"I'm going to get some fresh air." Usagi said, as she walked away from Haruka. Haruka frowned but didn't argue.
"Be careful." Haruka said as Usagi headed for the park.
****
Usagi was sitting on the swing, trying to sort out her thoughts. Why did they think she loved Heero? It didn't make sense, she had always loved Duo, hadn't she? She didn't look up when the shadow fell over her.
"Hello Mommy dearest." Came a twisted voice. Usagi glanced up, seeing a woman with pink hair done up in two cone shaped odangos on either side of her head with long streamers of hair hanging from each. She was dressed in a black dress with a slit up to the thigh and a pink shawl on her shoulders. An orb shaped like a cat's head with a black crescent moon floated beside her.
"ChibiUsa?" She asked, looking up at the child.
"ChibiUsa's gone, Mommy. I'll make you pay for abandoning me and hurting Daddy." She said, her face twisting into an evil smile.
"Black Lady…"
