Sorry for the long wait. I hope you enjoy it!
***********************
Shingo was enjoying himself immensely. He hadn't had this much fun since his parents were killed. He enjoyed himself greatly playing with Usagi, but she was to good at the game that he lost interest in it after a few minutes. Duo was having as much as fun as Shingo from what he could hear. Although he has the least amount of kills he didn't care. His main concern was to find Wufei and keep killing him by any means possible.
So far Heero was in the lead with the most kills with Shingo following closely behind him. That surprised Heero a little. Shingo was doing quite well in the game. If there wasn't peace Heero would have been suspicious of Shingo. Chiba-Usa was doing well as well but was still behind.
**This is great training.** Heero thought to himself as he read 'Wufei killed by Heero' flash across his vision. **The graphics are so real and the sounds are quite believable.** Turning a corner the game informed him of a new player entering by the name of Koneko.
When Shingo saw the name flash across his visor he groaned. He was enjoying the possibility of winning. Not to far away he heard Chiba-Usa groan as well. **Well lets see if she can catch up to Heero. He has Thirty kills and we only have five minutes left in the game.**
Usagi smiled as she neared her opponent. She didn't know who it was yet but she would know soon. Taking aim she fired her blaster for a direct hit. The name 'Duo was killed by Koneko.' Flashed through her visor. Walking away for her next victim Usagi needed to hurry if she wanted to still win.
Duo pouted as his visor said 'Duo killed by Koneko'. **Who is Koneko and what does it mean? Oh well mind as well go and find Wuffers. I think he needs to die again.** he thought smiling as he waited to be reborn into the game.
Trowa was quite pleased with himself. He had only died a few times thanks to using strategy throughout the whole game. He had just found a rocket launcher and was now perched in a hiding place waiting for someone to come by. After a while of game play they decided to turn off the monsters so it was just the players killing each other instead of monsters and players after each other. Just then he noticed a person on the walkway across from his hiding place. Placing the rocket launcher in place he zoomed into the maximum just in time to see a missile headed for him. With it zoomed in so close and caught of guard he shouted in fright before his visor flashed, 'Trowa killed by Koneko'. (The missile basically exploded right in his face with him still looking through it zoomed in. With the graphics it seemed so real that for a moment he forgot it wasn't real thus the shout of fear.) **I didn't expect that.** he thought as he waited to be reborn into the game and his heart to stop pounding.
Chiba-Usa shook her head as she noticed how fast Usagi was catching up. With only two more minutes left in the game she only needed ten more kills to tie it. It was amazing at how well she was good at this game. In real life Usagi would have tripped over something by now. Chiba-Usa loved her mother greatly but Usagi would always remain a little klutzy unless she was on the Moon. It just had something to do with the gravity here on Earth compared to the Moon. Chiba-Usa knew this well for she succumbed to the same problems, as Usagi only it wasn't to bad. While in her thoughts she didn't notice the figure behind her until it was to late. The words 'Small Lady killed by Koneko' flashed across Chiba-Usa's visor.
"You really should pay attention Chiba-Usa." Usagi said before going to find another victim.
Chiba-Usa just grumbled to herself and waited.
Heero was amazed at how fast the new player was catching up. He smirked at the challenge that was presented and stopped holding back. He didn't plan on losing this game.
Wufei growled at Duo who was in front of him getting ready to kill him. He had run out of ammo and Duo figured this out. So he was enjoying every moment of it.
Duo grinned at Wufei's predicament. It was one of those rare times that Duo could do this to Wufei without him chasing him with that Katana of his. "Looks like Wu-man dies again."
Just as Duo was getting ready to pull the trigger they both heard a clatter and looked down to see a grenade. Looking back up they both had the same expression on their face though they didn't know it. (They have visor helmets on so they can't really see each other just the character they had picked.)
BOOM!
The screen flashed 'Double kill. Duo and Wufei killed by Koneko.'
Usagi grinned at her luck. It wasn't often she received a Double kill. **Poor Duo and Wuffy.** She thought though she didn't really feel sorry for them.
With one minute left in the game Usagi just needed one more kill to win. She noticed that through the whole game she hadn't killed Heero yet. Thinking quickly she noticed that a red dot was over her heart and she quickly dodged.
Heero cursed a little. He didn't think that Koneko would have noticed until it was to late. While going through the game he had punched up everyone status and noticed that they were the only two not to have been killed throughout the whole game. So he decided to take up the challenge of killing Koneko. **I wonder who Koneko is? I'm pretty sure that it is either Hotaru or Usagi. They are the only other two here at the house able to play.** He thought as he used process of elimination.
Usagi frowned a little. **That was to close.** Looking around Usagi noticed that luck was with her. She just found the hidden invisibility orb. Grabbing it her form became invisible. Walking quietly she saw someone in a red suit. Thinking a little she realized that she never killed anyone in a red suit before. Taking out a grenade she threw it in his direction.
BOOM!
Once the smoke cleared she cursed. It was a hologram. She was lucky that she had used a grenade instead of firing. Looking around she noticed a quick movement to her right. She only had thirty seconds till the game ended and about forty before the invisibility orb wore off. Taking off towards the movement she saw her target running. Pulling out the laser gun she began firing. Looking at her surrounding she smiled and a plan began to form in her mind.
Heero frowned trying to think of how to win. She was good. He had to admit that. He figured she would have fallen for that Hologram trick but she didn't. Now she was behind him shooting at him and she was getting a couple of good hits. His shield was at 25% and going down. **I need to think of something quick** He thought to himself as he turned left.
Usagi reloaded her laser and continued leading him to where she wanted him. Seeing him turn left she stopped and peered around the corner before continuing. She noticed him standing there waiting for her to round the corner. She was thankful she was still invisible. It was the only thing saving her from being shot. Pulling out her last grenade she tossed it towards him.
Heero saw a grenade tossed to him and ran of cover. Taking a right Heero never noticed the detonators on the side of the walls until it was to late.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!
Usagi smiled happily at the sound and the words that flashed across the screen. 'Heero killed by Koneko. Game Over.'
As Game Over flashed repeatedly the others left the room and took off their helmets. They went to the screen by the door to see the final stats. It read
Name Kills Deaths
1. Koneko 41 0 WINNER
2. Heero 40 1
3. Shingo 35 36
4. Trowa 34 13
5. Wufei 25 40
6. Chiba-Usa 15 25
7. Duo 14 89
Just as they finished reading it Heero and Koneko exited the game room. Heero wasn't to pleased with himself about losing. He should have realized that he was being led to a trap. Usagi just smiled as she saw the screen displaying the stats. That was a wonderful challenge. Heero took off his helmet and turned to the person called Koneko.
Shingo walked up to Usagi and crossed his arms across his chest. "You couldn't have lightened up at all. I mean come on. You know that you're the best at this game. You weren't being fair." Laughing Usagi took off her helmet surprising Wufei and Duo. They figured it was Hotaru not Usagi.
"Wow. That Game was awesome!" Duo exclaimed, "And you were great Usagi! That was cool how you got that double kill on me and Wu-man here."
"Don't call me Wu-man, Maxwell!" Wufei shouted at Duo.
"That was the first time that every happened. I normally don't get that lucky. I would have lost to if I hadn't found that Invisibility orb and remembered that I had set up a trap nearby." Usagi informed everyone. "I really like this game. It's one of the rare ones where I can actually move around without having a klutz attack."
"Klutz attack?" Trowa asked interested.
"Yeah, Usagi-mama always falls down on her face or butt. Even if there is nothing to trip over."
"Really?" Duo asked
"Hai. It's true." Shingo said
"It happens everyday. Just wait and see." Chiba-Usa said
"Hey it doesn't happen everyday!" Usagi exclaimed
"Yes it does!" Shingo and Chiba-Usa said together
"Does not!"
"Does to!"
"Does not!"
"Does to!"
"Not!"
"To!"
"Not!"
"To!"
The boys looked back and forth in amusement at the three and they began to wonder when the argument would end. As the argument continued between the three Setsuna walked in and sighed. The boys noticed Setsuna walk in and sigh. Watching Setsuna they waited to see how she would stop them from their heated argument.
Setsuna walked a little closer to the group arguing and grinned. Turning to the boys she said, "Dinner is ready."
Hearing 'Dinner' Usagi and Chiba-Usa immediately stopped arguing. Looking at each other they both said at the same time, "FOOD!" and ran out of the room. Shingo looked at the two running and sweatdropped. "Those two will never change." He said walking over to Setsuna.
"No, but would you want them to?" Setsuna asked.
"No not really." Shingo answered
"I doubt Usagi has informed you of Quatre. He is resting now and I think it would be best if you all stayed the night. We have plenty of guest rooms."
Heero looked at Trowa to see if he agreed and noticed a slight nod of his head. Looking at the others they nodded their heads as well. "We will stay." Heero informed Setsuna.
"Wonderful. Let us eat before I show you the rooms." Setsuna said
"The food! They'll eat it all!" Shingo shouted running out of the room.
"We'd best hurry before Usagi and Chiba-Usa eat it all." Setsuna said and walked out leading the boys to the dinning room.
Upon entering the dining room the boys saw Usagi and Chiba-Usa sitting down impatiently waiting for them. Shingo was breathing a sigh of relief that Usagi and Chiba-Usa hadn't eaten everything. The boys took their seats and waited for dinner. Setsuna walked to the kitchen and walked out carrying food followed by Hotaru who was carrying food as well.
"Do you need any help carrying in the food?" Usagi asked
"No. We don't need the food disappearing before it gets out here, Usagi." Hotaru answered playfully.
"Hey!" Usagi pouted
Hotaru just giggled at her expression. Once the food was placed on the table Setsuna and Hotaru sat down. Taking that as their cue Usagi, Chiba- Usa, and Duo could no longer hold back. The attacked the food without mercy surprising some.
Setsuna shook her head and looked at the boys. "Go ahead and eat before those two and your friend eat it all."
Nodding their heads in response they each were able to gather enough food to fill them up before it was all gone.
Duo smiled happily and exclaimed, "That was great! Thanks!"
Usagi frowned a little as she looked around the table. Wufei noticed the frown and commented on it. "Why the frown onna?"
"I'm still hungry." Usagi answered blushing.
"What!" Duo exclaimed surprised while the others looked at her in shock
Setsuna nodded in understanding and left for the kitchen returning with a plate full of food. Placing it down in front of her she said, "You must have been doing a lot of running to be this hungry."
Usagi just nodded her head in response since she was devouring the food at the moment. Once done she sighed happily. "Thank you Setsuna. I really needed that." Looking at everyone she noticed the guys staring at her. Blushing a little with embarrassment she said, "Sorry about that."
Duo came to first and grinned happily, "Wow! I never knew anyone other than me could eat that much! Where do you put it all?"
"Usagi has a very fast metabolism. So fast that she'll be hungry again in about two hours." Hotaru said
Usagi glared at Hotaru, "Hey they didn't need to know that last part."
Smiling Hotaru just shrugged. "Well anyway lets show you to your rooms."
"Oh so they are staying I knew I was forgetting to ask them something." Usagi said.
Sighing Hotaru shook her head. "Geez you'll never change, Usagi."
But it feel on deaf ears seeing how Usagi had ran out of the room dragging Duo and Wufei with surprising strength.
"Well shall we?" Hotaru asked nodding in the direction Usagi headed.
Trowa and Heero just nodded in response.
"You'll be close to where Quatre is resting. Once I show you the room I'll show you where Quatre is staying." Hotaru walking down the hall.
Shortly after they arrived at a door with a maple leaf engraved in it.
"Here we are. This is the Maple room." Hotaru informed them opening the door.
Walking in the room the boys scanned it. It was well kept and homey like the rest of the house. It had a living room of its own and four separate doors.
"Each door leads to a bedroom with its own bathroom. If you need anything there is an intercom by the door in each room." Hotaru explained.
While Hotaru was explaining the room Usagi came out one of the rooms followed by Wufei and Duo. Seeing the others she smiled and greeted them.
"Hey! I hope you like it." Then turning to Hotaru she said, "I'm going to go talk to Setsuna, I'll be right back. Once they're settled in take them to Quatre."
"Hai, Usagi." Hotaru said then turned to the boys. "Well let me show you everything quickly and then go see Quatre."
****************
Usagi walked down the hall and then into the living room. "Setsuna?" Usagi called out.
"Hai, Usagi?" Setsuna replied walking into the living room.
"Do we have any nightshirts and clean clothing for the guys. I think Trowa would fit some of Mam-Mamo-chans things." Usagi said choking a little on her beloved's name.
Hearing her distress Setsuna enveloped Usagi into a tight embrace.
"Shh. It'll be all right. I have something for them to sleep in and as for clean clothes they can wear some of the clothes I've been designing."
"I miss him, Puu, I know he told me to move on, but it's so hard." Usagi cried
"The pain will go away Usagi, just give it time." Setsuna told her, "Now go dry those tears and help me get the boys some clothes."
Nodding her head she left. A few minutes later she returned. You could still tell that she been crying but it was better than what she had looked like.
"Well let's go get them those clothes." Setsuna said.
*****************
Hotaru lead the boys to where Quatre was resting. As they entered they saw Chiba-Usa and Shingo there.
"Hey you two what are you doing here?" Hotaru asked.
"Saying goodnight to Quatre. Setsuna said it was bed time." Chiba-Usa answered
"Yeah, though I don't see why. There's no school tomorrow. Geez I was looking forward to staying up." Shingo said.
"Maybe tomorrow, Shingo, but for now off to bed with you." Hotaru said smiling.
"Yeah, Yeah." Shingo said.
"Well goodnight everyone." Chiba-Usa said and hugged everyone there surprising the boys. "Hotaru tell Usagi-mama I'll be waiting for that story." She added and ran out of the room.
"I'm not hugging you guys, but goodnight." Shingo said. Passing Hotaru he whispered to her, "Tell Usagi I'll wait for her to say goodnight. Hotaru just smiled in response.
"Goodnight." Hotaru said. Seeing everyone's expressions she couldn't help but laugh. "You guys look like you've never been hugged by a little girl before. Well I have to go find Usagi. I'll leave you alone with your friend. If you need anything the intercom is by the door." She said and left.
"Wow. They're crazy, but cool." Duo said
"I have to agree with you their Maxwell." Wufei said and then looked at Trowa. "How is he?"
"From what I can tell he is fine. He just needs to rest. He should awaken tomorrow if he sleeps all night." Trowa answered.
"Cool, well I'm up for bed. Goodnight guys." Duo said and left.
"For once that baka has a good idea." Heero said and left followed by the other two.
Catching up to Duo they entered to see Usagi leaving one of the bedrooms.
"Oh, hi. I left some nightclothes for you and a change of clean clothes for tomorrow. I hope you like the clothes and don't worry about returning them." Usagi said walking towards them when a klutz attack happened. "Ahh!" Usagi said in surprise falling forward. Before she hit the ground she was caught. Looking at who caught her she smiled. "Arigato, Wufei."
Wufei blushed slightly and helped her up without a word.
Duo grinned mischievisously and stored what he saw away for later with everything else he had seen today. "So is this that klutz attack?" Duo asked
"Hai. Well I have to go. Goodnight." Usagi said and quickly left the room.
**************
Usagi closed the door to Shingo's room wiping away the tears that still ran down her face. **At least he finally let it all out. It wasn't good to bottle up all that grief. Maybe you should listen to your own advice, Usagi girl.**
Walking to Chiba-Usa's room she walked in smiling. "Hey ready for that …" Usagi began but saw Chiba-Usa already asleep. "I guess tomorrow then. Goodnight my chiba-tenshi." Usagi said covering Chiba-Usa up and tucking her in. Kissing her on the forehead Usagi turned off the lights and left the room.
Once in her room Usagi sat on the bed. "Puu could you come here for a minute?"
"You called hime?" Setsuna asked.
Once she appeared Usagi ran to her and cried. It was time that she let out all that grief and guilt. She cried until she fell asleep in Setsuna's arms. Gathering her up Setsuna carried her hime to the bed and tucked her in.
**Now she will finally move on. There will still be the grief but now she can find a new love and become a true friend to those boys.** Setsuna thought before disappearing back into her room to finally get a well deserved rest.

"Yeah, Usagi-mama always falls down on her face or butt. Even if there is nothing to trip over."
"Really?" Duo asked
"Hai. It's true." Shingo said
"It happens everyday. Just wait and see." Chiba-Usa said
"Hey it doesn't happen everyday!" Usagi exclaimed
"Yes it does!" Shingo and Chiba-Usa said together
"Does not!"

Shortly after they arrived at a door with a maple leaf engraved in it.
"Here we are. This is the Maple room." Hotaru informed them opening the door.
Walking in the room the boys scanned it. It was well kept and homey like the rest of the house. It had a living room of its own and four separate doors.
"Each door leads to a bedroom with its own bathroom. If you need anything there is an intercom by the door in each room." Hotaru explained.
While Hotaru was explaining the room Usagi came out one of the rooms followed by Wufei and Duo. Seeing the others she smiled and greeted them.
"Hey! I hope you like it." Then turning to Hotaru she said, "I'm going to go talk to Setsuna, I'll be right back. Once they're settled in take them to Quatre."
"Hai, Usagi." Hotaru said then turned to the boys. "Well let me show you everything quickly and then go see Quatre."
****************
Usagi walked down the hall and then into the living room. "Setsuna?" Usagi called out.
"Hai, Usagi?" Setsuna replied walking into the living room.
"Do we have any nightshirts and clean clothing for the guys. I think Trowa would fit some of Mam-Mamo-chans things." Usagi said choking a little on her beloved's name.
Hearing her distress Setsuna enveloped Usagi into a tight embrace.
"Shh. It'll be all right. I have something for them to sleep in and as for clean clothes they can wear some of the clothes I've been designing."
"I miss him, Puu, I know he told me to move on, but it's so hard." Usagi cried
"The pain will go away Usagi, just give it time." Setsuna told her, "Now go dry those tears and help me get the boys some clothes."
Nodding her head she left. A few minutes later she returned. You could still tell that she been crying but it was better than what she had looked like.
"Well let's go get them those clothes." Setsuna said.
*****************
Hotaru lead the boys to where Quatre was resting. As they entered they saw Chiba-Usa and Shingo there.
"Hey you two what are you doing here?" Hotaru asked.
"Saying goodnight to Quatre. Setsuna said it was bed time." Chiba-Usa answered
"Yeah, though I don't see why. There's no school tomorrow. Geez I was looking forward to staying up." Shingo said.
"Maybe tomorrow, Shingo, but for now off to bed with you." Hotaru said smiling.
"Yeah, Yeah." Shingo said.
"Well goodnight everyone." Chiba-Usa said and hugged everyone there surprising the boys. "Hotaru tell Usagi-mama I'll be waiting for that story." She added and ran out of the room.
"I'm not hugging you guys, but goodnight." Shingo said. Passing Hotaru he whispered to her, "Tell Usagi I'll wait for her to say goodnight. Hotaru just smiled in response.
"Goodnight." Hotaru said. Seeing everyone's expressions she couldn't help but laugh. "You guys look like you've never been hugged by a little girl before. Well I have to go find Usagi. I'll leave you alone with your friend. If you need anything the intercom is by the door." She said and left.
"Wow. They're crazy, but cool." Duo said
"I have to agree with you their Maxwell." Wufei said and then looked at Trowa. "How is he?"
"From what I can tell he is fine. He just needs to rest. He should awaken tomorrow if he sleeps all night." Trowa answered.
"Cool, well I'm up for bed. Goodnight guys." Duo said and left.
"For once that baka has a good idea." Heero said and left followed by the other two.
Catching up to Duo they entered to see Usagi leaving one of the bedrooms.
"Oh, hi. I left some nightclothes for you and a change of clean clothes for tomorrow. I hope you like the clothes and don't worry about returning them." Usagi said walking towards them when a klutz attack happened. "Ahh!" Usagi said in surprise falling forward. Before she hit the ground she was caught. Looking at who caught her she smiled. "Arigato, Wufei."
Wufei blushed slightly and helped her up without a word.
Duo grinned mischievisously and stored what he saw away for later with everything else he had seen today. "So is this that klutz attack?" Duo asked
"Hai. Well I have to go. Goodnight." Usagi said and quickly left the room.
**************
Usagi closed the door to Shingo's room wiping away the tears that still ran down her face. **At least he finally let it all out. It wasn't good to bottle up all that grief. Maybe you should listen to your own advice, Usagi girl.**
Walking to Chiba-Usa's room she walked in smiling. "Hey ready for that …" Usagi began but saw Chiba-Usa already asleep. "I guess tomorrow then. Goodnight my chiba-tenshi." Usagi said covering Chiba-Usa up and tucking her in. Kissing her on the forehead Usagi turned off the lights and left the room.
Once in her room Usagi sat on the bed. "Puu could you come here for a minute?"
"You called hime?" Setsuna asked.
Once she appeared Usagi ran to her and cried. It was time that she let out all that grief and guilt. She cried until she fell asleep in Setsuna's arms. Gathering her up Setsuna carried her hime to the bed and tucked her in.
**Now she will finally move on. There will still be the grief but now she can find a new love and become a true friend to those boys.** Setsuna thought before disappearing back into her room to finally get a well deserved rest.
