Usagi smiled up at Mamoru. They were finishing up the evening with walk through the park. "So, Usako," Mamoru queried, "I know it's probably slipped your mind...but what happened in Tokyo?"
"Nani?" Usagi said, not looking him in the eye. "What makes you think something happened." She pointed to the childern. "Aren't they cute!"
"Well, you left me some upset-sounding messages, for one."
Usagi had forgotten about those. "Aw, it was nothing," she replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Un..." Tears escaped her eyes.
Mamoru hugged her close. "You can tell me."
Usagi finally told him about the youma and what it had apparently done to her. "Mamo-chan, I can't even call them on the phone! I have to e-mail them. I miss them so much. And that youma... we don't know if we defeated him or if he just disappeared!"
"Have there been any more attacks over there?"
"Not that I know of. They'd tell me, wouldn't they?"
"I'd think so, Usako."
Usagi was doubtful. "If they didn't tell me, it's because they're trying to protect me. I have to call them and make them tell me the truth! I'll be able to tell if they're hiding something!"
"Well, Usako, it's not like you can go back to Japan even if there was something going on..." Mamoru looked down.
"Yes, there is!" Usagi said.
"Nani?"
Usagi had a look of determination in her eyes. "I'll just have to figure out how to teleport myself without them!"
"That would exhaust you, Usako...and you know you can't be near them!"
"I don't care, Mamo-chan!" she exclaimed. "I'm supposed to protect them!" Before he could say anything else, Usagi ran off.
"She's always doing that," Mamoru sighed before loping after her.

As soon as Usagi arrived home, she picked up the cordless and ran to her room. The last thing she needed was Shingo asking her what was wrong. She quickly dialed Rei's number.
Rei answered after a few rings. "Moshi moshi."
Usagi didn't answer for a minute because here head was starting to bother her. Taking a deep breath, she whispered, "Rei-chan?"
"Usagi? Is that you?"
"Y-yes," she said in English, not thinking
"Usagi? I don't speak that language well," Rei giggled.
Usagi gasped. "Gomen ne..."
"It's alright...but doesn't this make you hurt?" Rei asked, concerned.
"Hai..de.. mo... I wanted to make sure you... guys were okay."
"Hai, we're okay...how's America?"
"It's... nice... Rei-chan, is the youma... gone?"
"Hai, it's been really quiet. Usagi-chan, gomen, but Grampa is calling me."
"Matte...!"
"If you want, I'll call you later. Gomen!" Rei hung up the phone before Usagi could answer.
Usagi dropped the phone and slumped to the ground, exhausted. Rei was lying, she knew it! Mamoru knocked on her bedroom door. "Usako?"
Usagi didn't replied. She remained in that position, crying softly. "Did you call them?" he asked gently.
"Un..."
"How badly does it hurt?"
She looked up at him, but it became too much for her. She clutched her head. "It.. it didn't hurt this bad... last time I talked to them..."
"Just...sit still..." Mamoru didn't know what else to say.
"Mamo-chan..." Usagi felt light headed all of the sudden.
"Hai?"
"I...I'm going to be sick!" Mamoru quickly grabbed her wastebasket.
Usagi emptied the contents of her stomach. "Kami..." she gasped out.
Just then Shingo came into the room. "What's wrong, Usagi?"
She just glared at him. Right now all she wanted to do was sleep. "Go away..."
"No way! I know what's wrong with you!" Shingo exclaimed. "Papa, come quick!"
Usagi shook her head and crawled to her bed. "What is it, Shingo?" he asked, a bit crossed. That changed when he saw Usagi's pale form. He looked at Mamoru. "What happened?"
"Well, she suddenly felt faint and sick, so I grabbed her wastebasket and she threw up in it."
"I know why Papa!" Shingo said with a smug grin on his face. "Usagi's pregnant!"
Usagi stood up from bed, swaying. "I AM NOT!!!!! Mamo-chan!"
Mamoru's eyes widened slightly. "Tsukino-san, I swear we've never..."
Kenji was in a state of shock. He didn't believe his little girl would be capable... He... no... But the symptoms... "Usagi, I think a blood test is in order."
"But, Papa!"
"No, buts, young lady. Mamoru-san, I think it would best if you left for the evening."
"Gomen nasai," Mamoru apologised and left hastily.
Usagi sat on her bed, tears pouring. "Papa, you don't believe me?" Shingo had left by this time.
"I--I don't know what to think!"
Usagi sighed, too tired to argue. "Fine, I'll do the blood test!"
"I'll call the doctor," Kenji sighed, slightly relieved.
After Kenji left, Ikuko came in. "What's wrong, Usagi?"
"Mama, will you hold me?" Ikuko nodded, and hugged her daugter close
Usagi relished the warmth of her mother's arms. She felt so scared and alone even surrounded by her parents and Mamoru. A part of her was missing though... her friends.
"I...I can't do this anymore, Mama."
"Do what?"
"Be away from my friends. I miss them so much. So much that it hurts."
"Well, you've kept in touch on the computer?"
"Hai, but it's not the same," Usagi cried.
"Well, maybe we can go for a visit on your spring break?"
Usagi looked up at Ikuko. "Really?"
"I'll see what we can arrange. It would be expensive, though."
"I would like that, Mama!"
"Well, I'll see what we can do, okei?"
"Okay," Usagi replied with a yawn.
"You get some rest now." Ikuko kissed her on the forehead.
