Well here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

* Last Time*

"Wow. This place is enormous!" Duo exclaimed.

"This? You should have seen the Palace." Haruka stated nonchalantly. Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Michiru and Hotaru looked at Haruka. Haruka winced realizing her slip up.

Setsuna glared at Haruka. "You are in trouble young lady." She stated telepathically.

" Palace?" Hiiro questioned.

* End of Flashback*

Chapter 12 – Your in Trouble

As Haruka started to correct her mistake when the roar of a motorcycle drowned out what ever she was going to say. Everyone turned to look towards the entrance of the estate when they saw Usagi on her motorcycle.

"Usa-Momma!!" Hotaru lunged at Usagi as soon as she shut the engine off.

"Hotaru." Usagi hugged her. Then she gave a look to Haruka that said everything.

"Shall we all go inside?" Setsuna asked. "Usagi and Haruka still have to change. We will have appetizers in the parlor until they are ready."

"Finally. I'm starved." Duo stated completely forgetting the earlier conversation.

* Once Inside *

Usagi and Haruka went upstairs and the others entered the parlor. As soon as they were out of hearing range of the others Usagi started lecturing.

"What did you think you were doing?" she asked.

"It slipped. I didn't mean to say it."

"Slipped? You are one of the finest warriors and all you can say is it slipped?"

"It was an accident. Really it was."

Usagi sighed and said  "You know Hiiro won't put it aside as a slip of the tongue. Duo might though. I'll have to think of something to cover your slip up."

"Well there isn't anything we can do about it right now. Let's just change for dinner and worry about it when they ask."

"Let's hope they forget. I am truly upset with you." Usagi went to her room and silently closed her door.

Haruka sighed. "I hate it when she's mad."

* Downstairs *

Duo was enjoying his crackers and caviar. Setsuna had the best stuff.

"This is extremely good." Duo mumbled with his mouth full.

"Don't speak with your mouth full." Quatre stated. "It's rude."

"I'm glad you enjoy it." Setsuna replied.

"Duo enjoys anything he can eat." Wufei stated.

"That's not true. Your cooking is absolutely repulsive. I don't even think a dog will eat it." Duo remarked.

"You've eaten my cooking." Wufei stated in Duo's face.

"So are you saying I'm a dog?" Duo inquired.

"You could be mistaken for one at times." Wufei answered.

"I've had enough of your shit!" Duo lunged at Wufei.

"Not in my house!" Setsuna cried. "Stay away from the china cabinet!"

The cabinet rattled precariously as they fought.

"Ah! Not my crystal statues!!" Setsuna hid her face in her hands.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Usagi stood at the top of the stairs. "We invite you into our home and you have absolutely no courtesy. I would like to speak with both of you… RIGHT NOW."

The two boys said not a word, but silently climbed the staircase and followed Usagi into a sitting room. "Duo you sit there." She pointed to a chair. "And do not move until I say you may. Wufei, you will follow me."

Wufei followed Usagi into an office. The room was Usagi's favorite. Setsuna designed the room like the one she had on the moon. It was sound proof.

"I'd like to know what you were thinking." She stated coldly.

"I… I am sorry."

"You still haven't told me what was going through your mind."

"I was bantering with Duo as I always have."

"You were bantering with Duo?"

Wufei hung his head. "Yes."

"You of all people. Where is that control you brag about? I see a childish brat standing before me not the so called honorable warrior that you claim to be."

"I apologize."

"What would you have done if you had knocked over the china cabinet? Some of that crystal saw the days on the moon. They are irreplaceable."

"I was being immature."

"You owe an apology to Setsuna and everyone down stairs for creating a disturbance."

"Of course."

"Next time the punishment will be more severe and I will not be as forgiving."

"I am thankful for your forgiveness, your highness."

She nodded. The two exited the office and Usagi looked at Duo. "Duo Maxwell. Come in my office."

Duo stood from the chair and entered the room.

"I trust you know the way out." She said to Wufei. Wufei nodded and left in a hurry.

Usagi took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then she entered the room to deal with Duo.

"Haha ataeru watashi o chikara. (Mother give me strength.)"

"Look, Kenoko I can explain…"

"Did I give you permission to speak let alone call me by that name?" Usagi asked. "There are only three people in this world allowed to call me Kenoko."

"I'm sorry. I was antagonizing Wu- man. You know… We really didn't mean any harm."

"Oh? You came close to breaking Setsuna's prize collection of crystal."

"We could of replaced it."

"Thousand year old crystal is hardly replaceable Duo."

"None of it's that old I remember seeing some of it…"

Usagi's brow shot up. "Where?"

Duo frowned. "I don't know where… just set up… under lights… in a huge room full of crystal."

"A room full of crystal?"

"Silly I know."

Usagi sat down in the desk chair. "No it's not silly… Mom loved those statues. The room was always locked unless she was with us…" Usagi pulled herself out of her memories. "Sorry. You are to apologize and offer to do all the yard work for a month for Setsuna."

"What? A whole month!" Duo exclaimed. "That's not fair."

"It is so fair. Look at it from my perspective not only did you almost destroy thousand year old crystal you also were making plans to mess with my car. And that Duo is something I will not tolerate. Think of it this way your punishment would have been harsher had you actually pulled of your little stunt."

"How did you know?" Duo groaned. "Oops."

Usagi smiled. "I know these things."

Duos stood up and stretched and then walked to the side off Usagi's desk. "You know the only thing I have from my past is this." Duo reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden locket with the signs of the moon and the sun imprinted into it. The locket was locked. It needed a little key to open it.

Usagi took the locket from him and looked at it carefully. "Your key is missing."

"This thing has a key?" Duo asked.

Usagi sighed. "Here I'll let you borrow mine." Usagi pulled a chain from around her neck. "I've had this since I was little. Use it to open the locket. It should work. I'll tell Setsuna that she should expect you here tomorrow." Usagi walked out leaving Duo alone. As soon as she was out of the room, Duo placed the key in the lock and opened the locket.

The end. Just kidding. You'll see more later.
