It's been 16 days since I updated... Oh My Gosh. I had no idea. You people probably thought I dropped off the face of the Earth!!! I'm going to keep this very short so you can get to the long awaited 10th chapter--- Read, review, and don't hate me! I'm so sorry! I'm posting two chapters as a bonus cause I've been such a bad girl! SORRY!
"It has my sycthe!" Duo practically screamed. "Where the hell did that come from? And why does it have my sycthe?!"
It then became clear that the new Gundam's pilot was linked to their communications system, because a message came up across their screens.
This is a glaive, not a sycthe. If you had any brains, Maxwell-baka, you would know the difference. We are on the same side.
"How the hell can we be on the same side if we don't even know who you are?!" Wufei demanded. They were aruging and fighting at the same time as they awaited Trowa's return from inside the base.
Because whatever side you're on, I'm on. Usagi replied. She couldn't let them know it was her; not yet. Besides, she thought with an evil smirk, it was going to be too much fun to merely show up, help them kick ass, and then disappear.
"We'll talk later, whoever you are." Quatre promised.
I do not wish to talk. I wish to fight.
"Too bad. Hnn." Hiiro replied in monotone.
I will not show you my face. It would be too much of a shock.
"Aren't we Mr. Full of Ourselves." Duo commented. Deathsycthe had to quickly dodge a swing of Unmei's glaive in his direction.
"Hey! Get your Gundam under control!"
Its name is Unmei. Give it the respect it deserves; I built it with my own hands, and mine alone.
It wasn't a complete lie, it was just that she couldn't explain about her friends' appearances. With that thought completed, and all of the mobile suits destroyed, Usagi made Unmei invisible once more, and took off at twice the speed of the others' Gundams, leaving them to marvel on how it could just disappear and how one person could build a Gundam.
Needless to say, when the pilots returned home to find Usagi napping on the couch, her snack forgotten on the table in front of her, they were not the happiest bunch.
"Get up Usa." Wufei said, shaking her. She awoke without arguing. Yawning, she stretched and stood up. The others sat down in various positions around the small room- Hiiro and Trowa sat in armchairs, and Quatre, Duo, and Wufei sat down on the sofa she had been occupying.
"Great leave me no place to sit." she mumbled. Then she sat on Wufei's lap with her legs stretched out over Duo and Quatre. Despite Quatre's blush, she was comfortable.
"How'd your mission go?" Usagi asked, anticipating the answer.
"There's a new Gundam." Trowa said.
"Yeah and it took my sycthe!" Duo cut in. Usagi almost told him that it was a glaive, but stopped herself.
"Really? I thought there was only you five." she commented.
"There is. The person piloting it wouldn't link with any of us, only sent us text messages. He said he built the Gundam Unmei with his own hands and that he's on the same side as us." Wufei said, running his hands through the streamers of her odangos.
"Wow." Was all Usagi said, closing her eyes and enjoying the stroking of his hands in her hair.
"It moved faster than any of us, and can disappear at will, it seems. It was right next to Altron and I could neither see it nor did my radar pick it up." Quatre said. He ran a hand through his hair restlessly.
Wufei sighed suddenly. Hiiro was perturbed at his friends' apparent lack of concern over the new Gundam. The prussian-eyed boy pulled out his laptop turned it on, immersing himself in Kami knows what.
Usagi sat up a little and reached up, concentrating as she pulled something out and her hair fell in waves around her.
"If I wear it like this it feels like my head is too heavy." she explained sheepishly before pulling it all up into one hand and leaning back to lay down again. Once she was comfortable she let go and let all of her hair hang down over the arm of the sofa. It fell to the ground easily and pooled there. Wufei resumed running his fingers through it.
"This is really calming. You guys should try it, it's helping me think." the Chinese pilot said.
"Baka." Hiiro snorted.
"Could it have been Zechs?" Wufei asked. The others thought for a moment while Wufei explained to Usagi who Zechs was.
"I don't think so. The fighting style wasn't at all like Zechs'." Trowa spoke up.
"Yeah he fought agressively but like he was new at it. If the doctors let him build a Gundam then he must have gone through some training and practice missions and he would have been better prepared." Duo said seriously.
"Well then who was it?" Their debate was interupted by a portal appearing in the center of the room.
"Hello Pluto." Usagi said, not opening her eyes and not standing up. She was waaaaay too comfortable to move. Hiiro's laptop beeped once before it was silenced.
"Hello Usagi, hello pilots." she greeted, unusually cheerful.
"Pilots you are about to-"
"We have a new mission." Hiiro stated.
"-Get a new mission. You're going to the Sanch kingdom to protect Relena Darlian-Peacecraft. You have to attend the academy there. Usagi, this includes you. Also, the outers are coming." she announced. At this, Usagi opened one eye.
"Back the Gundam up a minute! I have to go to school?!" she asked. Pluto nodded.
"Ami-chan said she wanted you to continue with your studies so you've been enrolled with the pilots and the outers will visit you for today."
"The outers..." Usagi repeated. "When are they getting here, Setsuna-sama?"
"We're here, Koneko!" Haruka replied, stepping out of the portal. She scowled a bit at Usagi's position but was calmed by Michiru, who appeared next. Hotaru was the last to appear.
"Minna!" Usagi exclaimed, and in the blink of an eye she was up and hugging them.
"Where's you odangos, Usagi-chan?" Hotaru asked.
"Oh I just took them out for a few minutes. They were too tight; they were restricting the use of my brain." she joked.
"Or lack thereof." Pluto muttered, knowing full well that all four of the Senshi would hear. Usagi stuck her tongue out at Pluto and said goodbye as the Time Senshi disappeared.
"Happy to see you too." Haruka said. Hiiro and Trowa were the only two who had figured out that she was a girl, despite the clothes she wore.
Haruka wore a pair of navy blue men's trousers, with a white shirt and a black leather jacket. Michiru wore a sea-green and dark blue plaid skirt, with a light blue shirt and a dark blue vest. Hotaru wore a dark purple skirt that reached her knees, with a black shirt and a dark purple sweater.
Duo, who was (for some unknown reason) running around the room, ran straight into Hotaru.
"BAKA!" she screamed at him.
"I like her." Wufei said.
"Koneko, who are these boys?" Haruka asked, wary of any of the male species around her kitten.
"Oh! This is Chang Wufei, but he goes by Wufei, this is Quatre Winner, and that's Duo Maxwell, that's Trowa Barton, and this is Hiiro Yui. Guys, this is Tenoh Haruka, Keiou Michiru, and Tomoe Hotaru. They're also known as Sailor Uranus, the Senshi of Wind, Sailor Neptune, the Senshi of the Sea, and Sailor Saturn, the Senshi of Death and Rebirth."
"Death and rebirth, huh? Well you better watch out cause I'm Shinigami!" Duo proclaimed. Hotaru looked blankly at him.
"Usagi-chan, why in Kami's name does he think that?" she asked, turning to the usually-odango'ed girl.
"Don't ask, just leave him be. He's the one who managed to put himself in his subspace pocket." Usagi replied, grinning.
"Baka. And you five are supposed to be protecting Koneko? Weaklings." Haruka scoffed, crossing her arms.
"Ruka, please!" Usagi exclaimed, getting all of their attentions. "They're not weak, they're just not Senshi. We all have our faults."
'Well, except maybe Hiiro. Iie, Hiiro's fault is that he has no emotions.' she thought.
"Since when is our mission to protect Usagi?" Hiiro asked in monotone.
"Since we became her friends!" Quatre and Duo replied.
"Since she's needed protecting!" Haruka replied at the same moment.
"Which has been since...?" Hiiro prodded, again in monotone.
"Since she was BORN!" Hotaru, Michiru, and Haruka exploded together. Usagi had sunk back down onto Wufei's lap and was covering her face with her hands, halfway between horrified and distraught. Wufei rubbed her back sympathetically as the debate continued. This time, the Glare of Haruka was transferred- to him.
"And you..." Haruka sneered, spinning on Wufei. "What makes you think you're good enough for Koneko?" Wufei stood up, nearly dumping Usagi off his lap in the process.
"Silence, man! Listen to yourself! You would think that you would have more honor than to verbally assault people like that! If you had any sense of justice you would know that words are nothing unless you can back them with both muscle and brains." Wufei said in a dark voice. Haruka grinned.
"I quite agree with you, Michiru. He has spirit enough to endure what she will put him through." she said. Wufei's jaw dropped slightly; it had been a test of character.
"Haruka-papa..." Hotaru whined. "Will you stop teasing the poor kono yaro?"
Michiru gasped, and glared at Haruka.
"I thought I told you not to swear in front of her! You're going to teach her to be just like you if you're not careful!"
"But Michiru-mama, Haruka didn't teach me that! Setsuna-mama did!"
"Setsuna?!"
"What's wrong with her being like me?"
"The Time Senshi never curses!"
"Yes she does!"
"Hotaru's right- Pluto swears but when she does it's rare and unusual and usually there's something extremely wrong." Usagi spoke up.
"Yup! Cause she said that Wufei was a kono yaro for worrying about you when you went off in the woods to build-" she cut herself off, completely aware of the fact she had almost blurted out Usagi's secret.
"My treehouse?" Usagi asked. Hotaru looked up and caught the look Usagi was shooting her.
"Hai!" the Senshi of Death replied. "I know you didn't want the boys to know but gomen I don't know how to keep my mouth shut!"
"You built a treehouse?" Wufei asked. Usagi nodded. "And we would be mad at you for that because why, exactly?"
"I dunno but you were paranoid about everything else at the time so I thought it was best if I didn't mention it!" she exclaimed huffily. Wufei laughed and kissed her briefly.
"It's alright Usa, but you'll have to show me this treehouse sometime." he said after he pulled away. Usagi nodded, but gulped nervously, guessing that she would have to use the Ginzuishou again.
Usagi decided to use telepathy to talk to Haruka and the other two Senshi.
(AN: *blahblah* will mean Usagi is talking. blahblah is Haruka, ~blahblah~ is Michiru, and {blahblah} is Hotaru. Got it? Good.)
*Since when do you hate my friends, 'Ruka?*
I don't hate them.
~Haruka why don't you take Usagi for a ride on your bike? That way she can let you in on everything that's happened.~
{It'll be faster if she uses the Mind Meld.}
*Thanks Hotaru, I didn't think of that!*
Koneko, do me a favor, alright?
*Anything, Ruka.*
If you want Wufei to be worth anything in bed, don't let him piss me off.
~Haruka! You will apologize THIS INSTANT.~
All right, all right. Gomen, Koneko.
*It's okay. Onegai, don't hurt him, or any of the others. I'm giving you fair warning, though- Duo is gonna piss you off.*
"Ummmm..... Hello?" Duo said. The three girls and one 'guy' had been exchanging looks and grinning at each other, as if they were talking. But they weren't, because their mouths weren't moving. But if they weren't talking, then what were they doing?
"Hai, Duo-kun?" Usagi asked, at the same time telling Haruka that the best speed she ever got was in the wind coming out of her rear. The Wind Senshi promptly glomped the poor girl, giving her a 'noogie' with her knuckles.
"What's up with you guys?" he asked bluntly.
"Whaddya mean, Duo-kun?"
"It looks like you four are talking, but your lips aren't moving!"
"Hai, Duo-kun, we are talking. The Senshi can use telepathy." Usagi told him.
"Baka, you think we have the time in battle to yell plans to each other?" Haruka asked. "Koneko, would you like to come with me to the mall for awhile?" Knowing this was part of their plan, Usagi nodded vigorously.
"Hai! Can we take the bike?!" she asked excitedly, and sat down to pull her hair up into their odangos once more. Wufei briefly wondered how she could do it without a mirror, but soon Usagi was done and he turned his mind from such 'onna-istic' thoughts.
"Can I come too, Haruka-papa?" Hotaru asked, forgetting the 'plan'.
"If Usa goes, I go." Wufei said. (Isn't he protective? Wufei: Hey! I heard that, you weak onna! Aka: Stop it or I'll kick you out of the fic and pair Usa with Duo. Wufei: Gulp. *Shuts up*)
"Yes why don't we accompany you, Mr. Haruka?" Quatre asked. At this, all four of the Senshi began to crack up, laughing their heads off. Even Trowa and Hiiro smirked. Duo, Quatre, and Wufei still didn't realize that Haruka was a woman.
"What'd he say?" Duo asked, oblivious.
"Haruka-papa... is..." Hotaru couldn't finish her sentence. Haruka embraced Michiru as they both continued laughing. As they got their breath back, the two kissed each other briefly, and then turned back to the group. Hiiro, fed up with all the laughing, stood up.
"That is a woman." he announced in monotone, before sitting back down. Three jaws dropped, and the pilots of Shenlong, Altron, and Deathsycthe's eyes widened.
"But--- But...-" Quatre stuttered.
"Hotaru called you 'papa'." Wufei said.
"Hai, she did. Michiru and I raised her." the he/she replied.
"But--- But...-" Quatre continued stuttering. "You two..."
"EEEEEWWWW!" Duo exclaimed as it dawned on him. Haruka rolled her eyes.
"Usagi, do you still want to go?" she asked. Usagi nodded. "Let's go. We're going to the Sakura Creek Mall, if you all decide to join us." she announced, before handing Michiru a set of keys and slinging an arm over Usagi's shoulders and leading her out of the mansion. Not stopping to wonder how she knew her way around the place, Michiru, Hotaru, Wufei, Quatre, Duo, Trowa, and Hiiro followed instantly.
Haruka was already straddling the bright yellow bike. (AN: Someone help me out here. I can't remember exactly what Haruka's bike or car looked like, so I'm calling the bike as yellow and navy for now because that's her Senshi colors. If someone could tell me what color they really are, I'd be grateful!) She had already put on her helmet, and ignored the pilots' protests. Michiru and Hotaru climbed into a yellow sports car that sat behind the bike in the extensive driveway. The pilots' SUV was behind the convertible. Usagi pulled her helmet out of her subspace pocket, and pulled up her 'streamers' as best she could. Her helmet was silver, and had a pink bunny on each side. Haruka fired the engine and revved the bike twice.
"Michiru be careful with my car!" she called. Michiru nodded, also turning on the engine.
"See you later!" Haruka said in a low voice to the pilots, and took off. Usagi instinctively wrapped her arms around Haruka's waist.
"Hey!" Wufei exclaimed, objecting to the speed at which the Wind Senshi was carrying Usagi. Moments later, the convertible followed, fast, but not as fast as the motorbike.
Haruka's deep laugh could still be heard echoing from her takeoff.
Wufei steamed red. Duo laughed. Quatre blushed. Trowa smirked. Hiiro grunted.
"You can't even control your own woman, Wu-man!" Duo exclaimed.
"MAXWELL!" Wufei screeched, yanking his katana out of thin air. "You will DIE today!" Hearing that, Duo did the only thing he could think of-
He put himself into his subdimesional pocket again. Wufei screamed even louder.
"This time, Maxwell," he swore. "You will stay in there until you die!"
(Duo runs in)
Duo: You may proceed to the next chapter now....
Wufei: (from distance) MAXWELL! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!
Duo: Gulp. I'll be back.
AKA: He's going to kill you this time, Duo. Putting hotsauce in his pancake batter, putting orange hair dye in his hairspray, painting Shenlong neon pink, and hiding his katana... Those were not smart things to do. You should know that by now.
Duo: Oh shut up! (runs-- fast!)
"It has my sycthe!" Duo practically screamed. "Where the hell did that come from? And why does it have my sycthe?!"
It then became clear that the new Gundam's pilot was linked to their communications system, because a message came up across their screens.
This is a glaive, not a sycthe. If you had any brains, Maxwell-baka, you would know the difference. We are on the same side.
"How the hell can we be on the same side if we don't even know who you are?!" Wufei demanded. They were aruging and fighting at the same time as they awaited Trowa's return from inside the base.
Because whatever side you're on, I'm on. Usagi replied. She couldn't let them know it was her; not yet. Besides, she thought with an evil smirk, it was going to be too much fun to merely show up, help them kick ass, and then disappear.
"We'll talk later, whoever you are." Quatre promised.
I do not wish to talk. I wish to fight.
"Too bad. Hnn." Hiiro replied in monotone.
I will not show you my face. It would be too much of a shock.
"Aren't we Mr. Full of Ourselves." Duo commented. Deathsycthe had to quickly dodge a swing of Unmei's glaive in his direction.
"Hey! Get your Gundam under control!"
Its name is Unmei. Give it the respect it deserves; I built it with my own hands, and mine alone.
It wasn't a complete lie, it was just that she couldn't explain about her friends' appearances. With that thought completed, and all of the mobile suits destroyed, Usagi made Unmei invisible once more, and took off at twice the speed of the others' Gundams, leaving them to marvel on how it could just disappear and how one person could build a Gundam.
Needless to say, when the pilots returned home to find Usagi napping on the couch, her snack forgotten on the table in front of her, they were not the happiest bunch.
"Get up Usa." Wufei said, shaking her. She awoke without arguing. Yawning, she stretched and stood up. The others sat down in various positions around the small room- Hiiro and Trowa sat in armchairs, and Quatre, Duo, and Wufei sat down on the sofa she had been occupying.

"This is really calming. You guys should try it, it's helping me think." the Chinese pilot said.
"Baka." Hiiro snorted.

They're also known as Sailor Uranus, the Senshi of Wind, Sailor Neptune, the Senshi of the Sea, and Sailor Saturn, the Senshi of Death and Rebirth."
"Death and rebirth, huh? Well you better watch out cause I'm Shinigami!" Duo proclaimed. Hotaru looked blankly at him.
"Usagi-chan, why in Kami's name does he think that?" she asked, turning to the usually-odango'ed girl.
"Don't ask, just leave him be. He's the one who managed to put himself in his subspace pocket." Usagi replied, grinning.

"I quite agree with you, Michiru. He has spirit enough to endure what she will put him through." she said. Wufei's jaw dropped slightly; it had been a test of character.
"Haruka-papa..." Hotaru whined. "Will you stop teasing the poor kono yaro?"
Michiru gasped, and glared at Haruka.

Haruka was already straddling the bright yellow bike. (AN: Someone help me out here. I can't remember exactly what Haruka's bike or car looked like, so I'm calling the bike as yellow and navy for now because that's her Senshi colors. If someone could tell me what color they really are, I'd be grateful!) She had already put on her helmet, and ignored the pilots' protests. Michiru and Hotaru climbed into a yellow sports car that sat behind the bike in the extensive driveway. The pilots' SUV was behind the convertible. Usagi pulled her helmet out of her subspace pocket, and pulled up her 'streamers' as best she could. Her helmet was silver, and had a pink bunny on each side. Haruka fired the engine and revved the bike twice.
"Michiru be careful with my car!" she called. Michiru nodded, also turning on the engine.
"See you later!" Haruka said in a low voice to the pilots, and took off. Usagi instinctively wrapped her arms around Haruka's waist.
"Hey!" Wufei exclaimed, objecting to the speed at which the Wind Senshi was carrying Usagi. Moments later, the convertible followed, fast, but not as fast as the motorbike.
Haruka's deep laugh could still be heard echoing from her takeoff.
Wufei steamed red. Duo laughed. Quatre blushed. Trowa smirked. Hiiro grunted.
"You can't even control your own woman, Wu-man!" Duo exclaimed.
"MAXWELL!" Wufei screeched, yanking his katana out of thin air. "You will DIE today!" Hearing that, Duo did the only thing he could think of-
He put himself into his subdimesional pocket again. Wufei screamed even louder.
"This time, Maxwell," he swore. "You will stay in there until you die!"
(Duo runs in)
Duo: You may proceed to the next chapter now....
Wufei: (from distance) MAXWELL! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!
Duo: Gulp. I'll be back.
AKA: He's going to kill you this time, Duo. Putting hotsauce in his pancake batter, putting orange hair dye in his hairspray, painting Shenlong neon pink, and hiding his katana... Those were not smart things to do. You should know that by now.
Duo: Oh shut up! (runs-- fast!)
