Hey guys, I'm back and happy though my reviews for my other fic are sorely lacking but hey, doesn't matter. I still have this one. Anyways, I'm gonna give you what you want, the rest of the fic. I hope you enjoy it. But first I'd like to say thanks to Linauri for reviewing each chapter so that I might continue. I now register 105 reviews. From the next chapter there will be dedications but the rest of 8 is dedicated to Linauri.

Chapter Eight

Heero's New Routine

Part Two

Heero was astonished at the size of the mansion before him. (Imagine one of those big Tudor style mansions) It was huge, about the same size as one of Quatre's. And only three women lived in it. No servants. Naturally, he tried to figure out how they managed to keep such a huge place squeaky clean among themselves. From what he understood, that Setsuna chick who disappeared was a regular visitor to the house. She never stayed to long.

He had followed the women into the house, while taking in his surroundings as nonchalantly as possible. There were many pretty ornaments and antiques. He assumed that they were worth a truckload of cash.

'Damn! They must be as rich as Quatre.' He thought to himself.

"To whom do these antiques belong to? You guys don't strike me as collectors." Heero asked aloud.

Hotaru looked at him and giggled.

"Don't you remember hime-sama, it's Setsuna-mama's things."

Haruka and Michiru glanced at each other and then at Usagi. They knew that she might have trouble remembering but had not expected the issue to come up so soon. As much as Haruka liked the new Usagi, she missed the old one's smile.

"Oh. Can you show me to my room?" Heero responded.

"Sure!!!" burst out an excited Hotaru. Though she sensed something not quite right with her princess, she did not sense any evil. Not how she sensed evil in Mamoru.

"Don't forget we have to meet the Inners at the Arcade," reminded Michiru. Haruka grumbled obscenities in the background as she still did not approve of the Inners. She considered them weak. Not fit to protect her koneko-chan.

"Hnn," agreed Heero. He followed Hotaru up the stairs and onto the second floor.

She led him through a corridor then turned right then left then right again, finally stopping in front of a door marked with a silver eight point star in a circle of darkness. Upon opening, he saw a room elegantly decorated in shades of silver and black. There seemed to be an undercurrent of light and dark energy flowing through the room. He felt immediately at home but there was also a sense of loss. The dark currents seemed to strengthen when he entered and almost overpowered the now weaker light currents.

"Hope you like it. Setsuna-mama decorated it just for you. She has anticipated your visit for some time now." Hotaru explained.

"It's great. Perfect." he whispered reverently. He had forgotten that she was in the room and had closed his eyes to better take in the vibes.

Hotaru smiled softly at the sight of her hime with her eyes closed and her concentration on something Hotaru only faintly sensed. For those few moments it appeared as if her hime was truly at peace.

The two made a picture of virtue and contrast as they stood together. Light and dark. Only the reality was death and pure darkness. Darkness that needed to be reunited with the light.

The amount of time that passed was unknown to them as they suddenly blinked out of their reverie. Hotaru excused herself and left Heero to his unpacking. Heero looked at his room and sighed. He had never before felt so comfortable somewhere except…

The memory of something nagged him, buried in his sub-consciousness, teasing him mercilessly with its promise of peace. Inner peace.

Shaking his head, he turned his attention to unpacking. (There are no Odangos. He can't make them. Minako braided the hair) Then in the middle of unpacking, he heard a beep from Usagi's communicator. Naturally not knowing what it was, he checked and saw Rei's face appear at the same time Haruka followed by Michiru burst into his room unannounced.

"Usagi we need you now. The Arcade is under attack by a youma!!!"

"Koneko, the Arcade's under attack!!"

'Nande kuso?!!!!!!'

Well folks this is the end. The next chapter will be in the Gundam Dimension. You finally get to know how Usagi reacts to Relena. Been waiting for that, haven't ya? Well it's coming. Be ready for it. Please review and check out my other fics 'Redemption' and 'Fortune's Gift'. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

PS

Don't worry, the next chapter will be long. I promise. Sorry for the shortness of this one, then again, this is a continuation.

Ja ne.
