Hello! I know that I haven't updated in a long time and the reason why is
that I'm getting ready for my wedding! I get married Aug 28th! So I have
had to put off my stories as well as the fact that Mezzic has been typing
his stories on my computer so I couldn't get on to type mine. Can you say
"COMPUTER HOG!!!!" But that's ok. So I hope you enjoy this Chapter.
Just so you know it is extremely long so grab something to drink, eat, and
don't plan on leaving anywhere soon.
Here's the story.
********************************************
Chiba-Usa walked down the stairs stretching. Walking into the kitchen she saw everyone there but Hotaru, Quatre, and Usagi. "Good Morning!" she chirped "Good Morning!" Duo chirped in reply. "Is Usagi-mama still asleep?" Chiba-Usa asked Shingo. "Yeah." Shingo replied. "It's your turn to wake her up." He added "No way! I'm not waking her up! You have the faster reflexes you wake her up!" She exclaimed.
The guys looked at them a little strangely thinking. **Why would you need fast reflexes just to wake someone up?** During Shingo and Chiba-Usa's argument Hotaru entered with a well rested Quatre. Duo was the first one to notice and smiled.
"Hey Q-man! It's about time you got up!" Duo said happily and walked over to them. "How ya feeling man?" "I'm better." Quatre replied and turned to Hotaru, "Thank you for caring for me." Hotaru smiled and nodded her head. "It was a pleasure. I'm just glad that you are better. Though Usagi was far more worried about you than she would let on." "Oh!" Quatre said in concern. "Don't worry, Usagi usually tends to over react to her friends. You get use to it quickly though. So what are you two up to. I could her your voices all the way down the hall." Hotaru asked looking at Shingo and Chiba- Usa.
"They're arguing on who should go wake Usagi up." Setsuna answered. "Well don't look at me. I don't want a death wish." Hotaru said seeing their looks. Hearing that their faces fell. Turning to each other Chiba asked, "Rock, Paper, Scissors?" "Hai." Shingo answered, "Ready?" "Hai." "Ok. One, Two, Three." Shingo counted as they shook their balled up hands. On three they formed their choice. "Scissors cut Paper!" Chiba-Usa exclaimed happily, "You get to go wake her up!" "Ah man! Well you better make sure there is nothing and I mean nothing for me to trip on." Shingo said as he walked out the kitchen.
Duo couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Hey Hotaru, why are you guys so against waking up Usagi?" "Yes, I am curious myself." Quatre stated. "You'll see in a minute. I do suggest that everyone backs up against the wall now." Setsuna said going to the far wall followed by Chiba-Usa and Hotaru.
Duo looked at everyone and shrugged his shoulders. He walked over to where Hotaru was gave her one of his most charming smiles. **Wow, man is she ever a babe.** Duo thought.
Hotaru saw Duo's smile and blushed a little though she was still upset about him claiming to be Shinigami. Duo caught the blush and his grin became even bigger. Thinking it might be a good idea the others followed. There had to be a reason for it. After it all it wasn't their home. About a minute later they heard a god-awful scream followed by,
"SHINGO!!!!!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!!!!!!!!"
Shortly after that they heard thumping and Shingo ran down the stairs and into the kitchen like there was no tomorrow. Quickly followed by a soaked Usagi who was shouting the whole time.
"Come back here you twerp! I'll get you for that!" "I had to get you up! It's not my fault that it's the only way to get you up!" Shingo shouted back as he ran around the table and into the living room. Usagi was right behind him when she suddenly stopped in place. Looking at the wall she noticed everyone either holding in laughter or shock.
"Hey Usagi-mama! Look who's all better." Chiba-Usa said pointing towards Quatre. "Q-chan!" Usagi shouted happily and tackled him in a hug completely forgetting about Shingo and being wet. Unnoticed to everyone but Duo and Hotaru Wufei had frowned when she hugged Quatre.
**That confirms it for me. Wu-man here has the hots for Usagi. Man never thought I'd see the day that happened.** Duo thought.
**I thought so. He has feeling for Usagi, but from the short time I've known him he has not accepted this feelings.** Hotaru thought. Sighing inside she thought, **I wish Minako was here. She would know how to get those together.**
Quatre blushed as Usagi hugged him and smiled a little. Usagi then realized she was still wet and looked horrified. "Oh Q-chan! I forgot! I'm sorry! Now I've ruined your clothes." "It's all right. I'll just change when I return home." Quatre said trying to reassure her. "I won't have any of that." Usagi said. Turning to Setsuna she asked, "Do you have anything for Quatre?" "I'm sure that I do. Just give me a minute." Setsuna said and left.
Smiling she looked at the others. "You all look great in those clothes." "So do you Usagi." Hotaru said chuckling. Looking at herself Usagi remembered why she was down her and wet. Looking for Shingo she didn't see him. "Come on Chiba-Usa lets get dressed. I'll help you with your hair." She grumbled up the stairs.
As Usagi left Setsuna entered carrying a set of clothes. "Here you are Quatre. These should fit you nicely." "You don't really need to do this." Quatre said "Nonsense." Setsuna said handing him the clothes. "Now I do have a question for you young gentlemen." "What kind of question?" Heero asked "Well would you like to come with us to the Amusement Park today. It's a surprise for my nieces and nephew."
Heero thought about it and looked at the others. Doing something he didn't normally do he asked them, "What do you think?" Duo's jaw dropped and all he could do was nod his head yes. "I don't see why not." Trowa answered "Whatever." Wufei said "I would love to go." Quatre answered. "Then that's your answer." Heero said to Setsuna.
"Wonderful. Now remember it's a surprise. They don't know anything about it." Setsuna said "My I use your phone?" Quatre asked. "Sure it's out there in the hall." "Thank you." Heading to the hall Quatre picked up the phone and called his home. Hearing Rashid's voice over the phone smile. "Hello Rashid." "Master Quatre! Where have you been?" "I'm sorry for worrying you my friend. I am at a friends'. You remember Usagi? Well me and the others stayed the night." "I remember her. Is everything all right?" "Yes, I will be spending the day with Usagi and her family. When I return tonight I will explain everything." "Very well Master Quatre, be well." "I will my friend. Goodbye." "Goodbye." Quatre hung up the phone and returned to his room to change.
*****************
Usagi brushed Chiba-Usa's hair and started to place it in its usual hairstyle. While brushing her hair Shingo entered not expecting Usagi there. Hearing the door open Usagi saw Shingo. Before he could run out of the room she had grabbed him.
"Don't worry Shingo. I'm not mad at you any longer. Though we all need to talk." "About what?" Shingo asked. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Usagi told them, "It was just that I don't want to lose you two. I love you both so much that it would kill me if I lost you." "We know Usagi but we want to help. We feel the same about you and we don't want anything to happen to you." Shingo said "I want to help you fight, Mama. I am still a Sailor Scout. I have a duty that must be done." Chiba-Usa told Usagi.
Sighing Usagi hugged them both. "I know and with this new enemy I have decided to train you both. This way you will be ready next time." "Train us?" both asked. "Usagi what do you mean. What can I do?" Shingo asked surprised. "Once we find Luna and Artemis they will release your power so that you can help. Until then you will stay out of the battles. You have the ability to transform now. Shingo you are now a Prince of the Moon Kingdom. With that you have the ability to help defeat the enemy." Usagi answered. "You mean that you will let me help?" Chiba-Usa asked "Hai, but until you have passed your training I only want you to help when you have no choice." "All right." Chiba-Usa said "Good. Now there is something else I must say." Taking a moment Usagi looked both of them in the eye. "Remember that we have each other and that the others would want us to move on and be happy. They will always be a part of us and as long as we remember them, then they will live on. Today is a new day. We have new lives now and its time to do what they asked."
Shingo looked at his sister with wonder and then smiled slightly, "Don't forget to take your own advice and remember that Mamoru told you to find a new love."
"How did you know that?" Usagi asked surprised. "When we went to get you for dinner. We heard everything." Chiba-Usa answered. "We didn't have the heart to enter so we left." Shingo said. "I'll try to follow my own advice and maybe one day I'll find someone, but enough of this. We don't need to start crying. I think we have cried enough. No more tears." "No more tears." Shingo and Chiba-Usa said in agreement.
Unknown to them nine figures watched them and sighed with relief. "It's about time that Meatball head listened to us." "Now Rei calm down." "Yeah listen to Ami, we would have done the same thing." "I know Minako." "So what do you think of that Wufei guy, Mamoru?" "I know that he'd better stay away from my little girl!" "Now honey we discussed this already." "I know, sorry dear." "Well Makato, as long as he makes Usako happy then I am happy." "I know that Duo kid had better stay away from my Firefly or he'll be hurting." "Now Haruka, Hotaru will be able to handle him. And I think he would be perfect for her." "You would Michiru." "And what is that suppose to mean!" "Nothing, It didn't mean a thing!" "Humph!" "Ah come on Michiru. I'm sorry. Don't be like that." Everyone giggled at the two and went back to watching their friend from heaven.
*********************
Merian watched the Senshi and smiled. "Even in death they don't change do they, Luna, Atremis?" "Apparently not." Luna said a little sad. "Don't be sad Luna." Artemis said "Yes, Luna don't be sad. Be happy. You'll be with Usagi again today." Merian said "Really?!" Luna asked excited. "Yes. This will just add to the surprise Setsuna is about to give her." "I missed her so much. When I saw the house I thought she had died." Luna said watching her Hime. "But then you appeared telling us she was still alive..." Artemis began trailing off "I know. She blames herself about forgetting you. She knows you are alive, but fears that you may hate her for leaving without you." "Well I'll put a stop to that." Luna said firmly, "It wasn't her fault. She was filled with grief and wasn't thinking about anything except getting her and her brother somewhere better." "Don't tell me, tell her when you see her. Though preferable without the boys knowing." Merian informed Luna "We know." Artemis answered for her. "Well then lets find a good spot to put you." She said looking out the gate.
**********************
Usagi was so excited and couldn't contain it. Chiba-Usa was a little embarrassed by her future mother's behavior but felt just as excited. Shingo tried to stay calm but between, Usagi, Chiba-Usa and Duo it was impossible.
"Oh what should we ride first?" Usagi asked bouncing around like her name. "Calm down onna." Wufei growled. She was attracting a lot of attention and he didn't like it. Especially with the looks the guys here where giving her. **What am I thinking? I shouldn't care. I have no interest in her that way.** but his thoughts could not stop the feeling of jealously that appeared when he saw a guy looking at her. "What's your problem, Wuffers. We're supposed to be having fun!" Usagi demanded placing her hands on her hips. "Don't call me Wuffers!" Wufei yelled "Then don't call me Onna!" Usagi yelled back
While they were arguing the others decided to leave them behind. They didn't want to stay around and listen to them argue all day. "I wonder how long till they notice they're alone?" Shingo asked "In maybe ten minutes or so." Hotaru said "Well what shall we do first?" Quatre asked. "Water rides or coasters?" Trowa asked "Coasters!" Shingo and Duo said happily. "All right then Coasters it is." Setsuna said smiling. Looking around she then noticed that Chiba-Usa was missing. "Where is Chiba-Usa?" "With Usagi and Wufei." Heero said. "I wonder why she stayed with them?" Duo wondered. "Who knows." Shingo stated shrugging. "Race ya to that coaster." He said changing the subject. "Eat my dust." Duo said taking off. "Hey! Cheater!" Shingo yelled chasing after him.
***********************
Usagi continued to argue with Wufei when suddenly she felt a light tug on her hair. Looking down she noticed Chiba-Usa there. "Usagi-mama I want to ride some rides." Chiba-Usa whined "Hey where did everyone go?" Usagi asked looking around. "Apparently they left, Onna." Wufei said empathizing Onna. Glaring at Wufei she picked up Chiba-Usa and walked away. "And where are you going?" Wufei asked "Away from you, Wu-man." She answered Grumbling Wufei followed them. He wasn't about to be left alone here in this place.
Usagi looked at Chiba-Usa and smiled. "So what ride you want to ride squirt?" "Hey don't call me Squirt. Ummm, how about that one there?" she asked pointing "Sure." Usagi replied "Can you put me down now?" "Sure, there is that better?" "Hai, Usagi-mama." Wufei grumbled as he followed them.
Usagi turned to Wufei and said in a firm voice, "Quit grumbling and have some fun!" Grabbing his hand she dragged him on to the ride. Taking a seat behind Chiba-Usa, Usagi grinned at Wufei.
"What are we riding?" Wufei asked "Just wait and see. Don't forget to buckle up." Grumbling some more he buckled up and waited. Chiba-Usa smiled to herself, **This is the perfect! I know Usagi will freak! If I heard right those kids thought this ride was terrifying. Operation Love Birds is now a go.**
"When is this thing going to start?" Wufei asked "Soon be patient." Usagi replied. And sure enough right after she said that the ride began. "See told ya." "Whatever." Wufei replied
The ride entered a tunnel and everything became dark. Usagi fidgeted a little. She didn't know what to really expect. She knew it was a horror house but they were never scary. After a few minutes Usagi found out how wrong she was. Screaming in fright she latched on to the nearest thing to her, which happened to be Wufei. She buried her head into his shoulder hugging him tight.
When she first latched onto him he was surprised, but he quickly recovered. When he was about to yell at her to get off her grip had tightened and her head was buried into his shoulder. So instead he allowed her to stay there. When she thought it was safe she would let go of him but would be right back where she had been after a few seconds. On the forth time latching onto him with fear he put his arm around her and said, "Stay put. You know that they aren't real."
"B-But they're scary!" Usagi whined a little. "Then why did you come on this ride?" "Well Chiba-Usa wanted to and I don't remember the haunted houses ever being this scary." She replied then screamed when a zombie flew above them.
Chiba-Usa turned to see Usagi in Wufei's arms and smiled. **Yes, it's working. I knew watching Minako set people up would come in handy.** Every now and then she would turn back to look at them and she could have sworn that Wufei had a slight smile on his face every time Usagi buried her head into his chest or shoulder. But it was to dark to tell for sure.
When they entered out of the other end of the tunnel Usagi removed herself from Wufei's arms blushing. When Usagi left his arms Wufei frowned a little. He didn't mind having her in his arms. He didn't mind at all and that was starting to worry him. **I can't fall for her.** he thought to himself as he step off the ride. **Why not a familiar voice asked?** **It would be betraying Merian.** **Merian's gone its time to move on.** **Move on? No I can't, I won't!** Wufei thought.
"Fei-chan are you all right?" Usagi asked worried. Wufei seemed to be far away.
Wufei came out of his thoughts and looked at Usagi slightly startled at the nickname.
"Fei-chan do you need to sit down?" Usagi asked placing her hand lightly on his arm. Wufei looked into Usagi's concerned eyes and stood transfixed much like the last time he had looked into her eyes.
**To late.** that annoying familiar voice said laughing. **To late.** then it disappeared.
"No, Usagi. I was just thinking." Wufei answered "That's it you're sitting down." Usagi said leading him to a bench. "I'm fine Onna." Wufei said firmly "Are you sure? You had this really strange look. I wasn't sure if you were all right or not." Usagi began. "I'm fine Usagi. So what is the next ride we're going on?" Wufei asked Usagi gave him this look that said I don't fully believe you, but if you insist then fine have it your way.
"How about that coaster?" Usagi asked pointing. "Fine then. Lets go." Wufei said walking in that direction. Usagi looked at Chiba-Usa and asked, "What do you think?" "I think he is fine like he said. So don't worry about it." Chiba-Usa replied. Shrugging Usagi followed Wufei with Chiba-Usa following right behind her.
As the day went on Chiba-Usa was very pleased with herself. So far it seemed like her plan was working. They would blush when they accidentally touched each other or they would glance at each other when the other wasn't looking. **I never thought Wufei would do such things like blush or still glances at Usagi-mama. He just doesn't seem the type, but here he is doing just that. Now if only I can get them to say how they feel and kiss my mission is a complete success.** Chiba-Usa thought, **But how to accomplish it?**
Thinking to herself she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and tripped over something. Crying out in surprise she feel down. Usagi heard Chiba-Usa's cry and turned around to see her falling. Rushing over to her she asked, "Chiba-Usa are you ok?"
"Ow! I feel over something." She answered holding back the tears. Looking to see what Chiba-Usa feel over she stared in open shock. Wufei came over when he saw the two on the ground. Seeing Usagi's expression he asked, "What's wrong, Onna?"
Usagi slowly got up and walked over to it. Wufei watched as Usagi dropped on her knees she picked up a black cat with a crescent moon on its head. "L-Luna?" Usagi asked in wonder. As she said that the cat began to stir. Just as she was stirring a white cat with the same crescent moon came up meowing and jumped onto Usagi. "Artemis?" Wufei watched as the black cat woke up and saw Usagi. It meowed suddenly and started licking Usagi.
Usagi couldn't restrain herself anymore. She broke down crying happily. Her friends were back. Seeing her to start crying Wufei became confused. "Usagi what's wrong?" But she didn't answer. Noticing people were starting to stare Wufei picked her up and cared her to on of the benches sitting her down he tried to calm her down with the help of Chiba-Usa.
"Come on Usagi-mama please stop crying. You said no more tears." Chiba-Usa said Sniffling Usagi took in deep breaths trying to calm herself. "I-I k-know. I-I'm s-s-sorry." Usagi said. Wufei dug out the handkerchief that came with the clothes he was given and handed it to Usagi. "Are you through Onna?" Wufei asked. Nodding her head yes she hugged both the cats as if she was afraid they would disappear. "Onna I think those cats of yours do require air." Wufei said smirking. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry Luna, Artemis." Usagi exclaimed Chiba-Usa giggled a little at this. "So what's up with these cats?" Wufei asked "When we left we had to leave them behind. We thought they had died in fact, but here they are. They were Usagi-mama's and a friend's cat. Usagi really missed them she was just so surprised to see them that she just over reacted a bit." Chiba-Usa answered. "So what are we going to do with these cats? We can't take them on the rides with us." Wufei asked. "I'll take them. I see the others right over there." Chiba-Usa said and took both Luna and Artemis before they could protest. Taking off running she left Wufei and Usagi there alone.
*****************
Chiba-Usa smiled to herself as she ran up to the others. **Now to think of stage two. The KISS!** she thought. **But how to get them to kiss. Now that is the question. If only Minako was here.**
"Setsuna! Hotaru!" Chiba-Usa called happily coming out of her thoughts. "Look who we found!" Hearing Chiba-Usa's cry everyone turned to see the pink haired girl run over with something black and white. Stopping in front of Setsuna and Hotaru she displayed what was in arms.
Gasping Hotaru and Setsuna looked shocked. Setsuna wasn't expecting them here so soon. "Luna! Artemis!" they both cried out in surprise and joy.
The boys were curious and looked to see what all the commotion was about to see two cats in Chiba-Usa's arms. What was interesting was that they both had crescent moons on their foreheads. Seeing Luna Shingo stood shocked. **That means I can help Usagi now.**
"Wow what cute cats. What's the deal with the crescent moons though?" Duo asked "They were born with it." Setsuna answered picking up Luna. "She must be exhausted for her to be sleeping." "Artemis too." Hotaru said picking him up. "He he. Um well they kind got knocked out." Chiba-Usa said sheepishly. "Knocked Out?" Quatre asked. "Umm, well I kind of tripped over them running away from Usagi-mama." Chiba- Usa answered.
"Speaking of Usagi, where is she?" Shingo asked looking around. Smiling an evil like smile she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. When I saw you guys I ran over without them." Chiba-Usa said. Hotaru looked at Chiba-Usa not believing a word of it. **She's up to something and I think I have a good idea what it is. I bet it was Minako's influence.** "Well let's continue on. She'll be fine. Wufei is with her after all." Setsuna said. Grabbing Chiba-Usa's hand they headed for the next ride.
On their way to the ride they heard a high pitch scream that only four recognized. "Usagi!" four voices shouted and took off running only to run into a crowd of frantic people.
The boys tried to follow but the crowd of frantic people separated them from the four that took off running. Seeing another way around they made it only to freeze in surprise.
***************
"Why that little brat." Usagi stated angrily. **I bet she planned this.** "Well onna are we going to sit here all day or are we going to go ride something?" Wufei asked "Yeah, Whatcha want to ride?" "I don't know. It doesn't matter to me." He told her "Fine then we'll go on that." Usagi said pointing at the free fall. "Fine." Wufei said heading in the direction of the free fall.
Just as Usagi was getting up something grabbed her from behind. Looking to see what grabbed her Usagi screamed in surprise and fear. Usagi struggled to get out of its hold only to start feeling weak as the creature began to drain her.
Hearing Usagi scream Wufei whirled around to see a humanoid female squid holding Usagi. It seemed to be draining her much like the cat creature had done to Quatre yesterday. He watched as Usagi tried to struggle out of the creatures grip and then just go limp.
"What wonderful life you have. It is bottomless and delicious." The creature said caressing Usagi's cheek.
Wufei charged at the creature hoping it would release Usagi if he hit it only to be flung back by one of its tentacles.
Heero came out of his dazed state quickly and aimed his gun. Firing it he was once again surprised at how it didn't phase the creature.
Just as he was about to fire again something white flashed down upon the creature and disappeared.
The creature screamed in pain as it lost its tentacle that had held Usagi in it. Usagi fell to the ground with a moan. Coming to from the impact with the wall Wufei saw Usagi on the ground motionless. Using the wall he was just thrown into for support he stood up and limped towards Usagi with an indescribable feeling of pain in his chest. Wary of the monster he made it to Usagi's side. Placing his fingers along side her neck he checked for a pulse and sighed with relief. It was there but so very faint. **How to get you out of here? I'm not strong enough to carry you, I barely made the walk over here from that wall.**
"Who dared to cut my arm and take away such delicious life from me!" the squid woman screeched in anger.
"Why don't you shut up!" a boy's voice yelled from behind the creature catching everyone's attention. As they looked for the owner of the voice they saw a small boy in a silver white oriental outfit (Think Ranma's outfit but white and silver) with a mask (think Tuxedo Kamen's mask) on holding a crystalline sword.
"You! You were the one to cut off my precise arm!" the youma bellowed
"Hai, I am the Silver Knight, protector of the moon, keeper of justice and for ruining a beautiful day with your presence you shall be vanquished!" the boy shouted lifting the sword into a fighting stance.
Screaming the youma charged at the Silver Knight throwing out a tentacle. The Silver Knight jumped away from the tentacle only to be wrapped into another tentacle. The Squid woman laughed at him saying, "So easily fooled and now your life is mine!"
The boys watched trying to think what to do when a voice shouted out.
"Death Scream!"
They watched as a purple ball shot out to the monster severing its tentacle. Screaming in pain the Youma shouted out. "Who dares cut off my precise tentacle!" Looking around the Youman and the boys watched as three figures appeared. The boys recognized the one known as Sailor Saturn, but not the other two.
One was a little girl with pink hair done up in cones. She wore a pink and white outfit much like Saturn's but the skirt held three layers the last a blue color and small wings were on her back. Where a tiara was on Saturn's head a Crescent moon was on the middle of her forehead. She looked like a little angel and the guys had to blink to believe what they were seeing.
Beside the little girl was a woman with long green hair wearing an outfit exactly like Saturn's but done in the colors of dark green, maroon, and white. She was holding a heart shaped staff shaped like a key.
"How dare you ruin such a day full of blossoming love and fun! In the name of Love and Justice! I Sailor Chibi Moon shall punish you!" "Protected by the Planet Pluto! The Senshi of Time! I am Sailor Pluto!" "Protected by the Planet Saturn! The Senshi of Silence! I am Sailor Saturn!"
Duo said quietly to the others while watching there entrances, "What is up those speeches?" The others just shrugged or didn't reply to his question more interested in what was going on.
Wufei heard the entrances but was more worried about getting Usagi out of harms way. Looking around he saw the others and called to them.
"Yuy!"
Hearing his name Heero saw Wufei injured and barely able to remain standing. Motioning to the others he ran over towards him and saw Usagi laying on the ground unconscious. From her shallow breathing it seemed that the youma did what the other one had done to Quatre the other day.
Duo immediately ran over to Usagi and picked her up while the others helped Wufei. "We need to get them out of here and find the others. I'm sure they can handle the monster like before." Nodding in agreement they started to leave the area when they where thrown forward. Duo turned his body landing on his back to avoid hurting Usagi and shouted out in pain. Heero, Trowa, and Wufei flew into a window of a near by souvenir store, while Quartre was thrown into a tree.
"I will not let you take my target. She has endless life essence and my master will be pleased!" the thing yelled and sending one of its tentacles out it started to pull Usagi away from Duo. Holding on to Usagi he took out a knife from his boots and stabbed the tentacle hoping it would work better than the gun had. To his surprise the monster screamed out in pain and let Usagi go.
While distracted Saturn and Pluto nodded to each other and sent out there attacks. The Squid woman screeched from the impact and Sailor Chibi Moon came forward. Bring out a wand from nowhere she started to twirl it like a baton. As she twirled little feathers and hearts surround her.
"Eternal.." she began to say as the feathers and hearts surrounded her. "Cosmic.." and as she said that pink light began to shoot out from the wand "Heart...." at this the heart, feathers, and light began to spin faster and shot out towards the youma spinning like a tornado after she said, "Ache!"
Seeing the attack the youman screamed out, "NO! Forgive my failure master!" before disintegrating into nothing.
Once the Monster was destroyed Sailor Saturn and the others hurried over to the guys. Gathering them in a group Sailor Saturn healed the boys. Looking at Duo she said in a tired voice, "You are starting to prove yourself." And walked over to where Usagi laid. Using the last of her energy she healed Usagi enough to wake her up. With her energy exhausted she fell back to be caught by the Silver Knight.
"You ok, Saturn?" he asked concerned. "Hai. Just tired." She replied.
Usagi moaned and opened her eyes. Looking around she saw Sailor Saturn, Pluto, and Chiba Moon as well as someone else. Upon closer look she knew it was Shingo and that Luna and Artemis gave him the ability to transform. Trying to sit up she found it difficult from still being so weak.
"Come everyone we must be going." Sailor Pluto said and turned to leave only to be turned around by a firm grip. "Who are you? Who do you work for?" Heero demanded Smiling slightly at Heero she replied, "I'm Sailor Pluto and I work for my Hime. We are not the enemy. We are here to fight these youma's that have appeared. Once we defeat them you will never see us again until we are once again needed." Once done speaking she got out of his grip and picking up Saturn she jumped out of there followed by the others. Frowning Heero still didn't like what was happening.
Feeling better Wufei walked over to see Usagi awake and trying to sit up but to weak to do so. "How are you feeling?" he asked so only she heard. "Tired and weak. Sorry that the day was ruined." She said smiling sadly. "Wasn't your fault." He answered picking her up. Usagi looked at him surprised but didn't complain. She was still too tired. Leaning her head against him she shut her eyes and fell asleep with a small content smile on her face.
"How is she?" Quatre asked startling Wufei. "Tired, but fine I think. The purple Onna healed her it seems." He answered. Quatre nodded his head and smiled inside. It seemed that he was finally seeing that Wufei cared for Usagi, which was a rare thing for him. He didn't know why Wufei thought all women weak and didn't like them, but it seemed he was starting to change his opinion for Usagi.
Heero and the others came to them and asked how she was and Wufei answered exactly as he had before. "We need to find the others and take her home." Trowa said to everyone "Right, lets split up. Wufei and Quatre stay here with Usagi. Duo head Right, Trowa head Left and I'll head Straight." Heero said and started off in his direction.
Not long after they spilt up they found everyone. Coming back everyone rushed over to Usagi worried. "Is she all right they all asked?" together. Wufei nodded his head and stood up still holding her. "We should take her home and let her rest." Setsuna nodded in agreement and everyone headed back.
Once back at the house Wufei placed Usagi in gently in bed. Covering her up he looked at her for a moment and then walked out to. Walking down the steps he nodded to the others.
"We must be going. We'll stop by to see how Usagi is doing tomorrow." Quatre said. "Thank you for all the help and the interesting day. Good bye." "Good bye. When Usagi wakes up we'll let her know. Have a safe journey." Setsuna replied.
With the boys gone Hotaru sighed and sagged down the wall in exhaustion. "Finally their gone. I don't how much longer I would have held out. I think Trowa or Heero might have noticed the act, but I can't say for sure." "Lets not worry about that for now and let's worry about getting you in bed." Setsuna said picking her up and carrying her to her room. Hotaru didn't complain and once in bed she immediately fell asleep.
Shingo and Chiba Usa walked to Usagi's room followed by Luna and Artemis. Crawling onto the bed all four curled up to Usagi and fell asleep. Setsuna walked in seeing them and smiled. Covering them up she then left to sleep herself.

There now I know that was long but that was the reason it took me forever to write as well as the fact I am getting married. I couldn't find a good stopping place so it dragged on to FOURTEEN PAGES!!!!!!! Well I hope you like it and hopefully the next chapter won't take so long to write.

Here's the story.
********************************************
Chiba-Usa walked down the stairs stretching. Walking into the kitchen she saw everyone there but Hotaru, Quatre, and Usagi. "Good Morning!" she chirped "Good Morning!" Duo chirped in reply. "Is Usagi-mama still asleep?" Chiba-Usa asked Shingo. "Yeah." Shingo replied. "It's your turn to wake her up." He added "No way! I'm not waking her up! You have the faster reflexes you wake her up!" She exclaimed.
The guys looked at them a little strangely thinking. **Why would you need fast reflexes just to wake someone up?** During Shingo and Chiba-Usa's argument Hotaru entered with a well rested Quatre. Duo was the first one to notice and smiled.
"Hey Q-man! It's about time you got up!" Duo said happily and walked over to them. "How ya feeling man?" "I'm better." Quatre replied and turned to Hotaru, "Thank you for caring for me." Hotaru smiled and nodded her head. "It was a pleasure. I'm just glad that you are better. Though Usagi was far more worried about you than she would let on." "Oh!" Quatre said in concern. "Don't worry, Usagi usually tends to over react to her friends. You get use to it quickly though. So what are you two up to. I could her your voices all the way down the hall." Hotaru asked looking at Shingo and Chiba- Usa.
"They're arguing on who should go wake Usagi up." Setsuna answered. "Well don't look at me. I don't want a death wish." Hotaru said seeing their looks. Hearing that their faces fell. Turning to each other Chiba asked, "Rock, Paper, Scissors?" "Hai." Shingo answered, "Ready?" "Hai." "Ok. One, Two, Three." Shingo counted as they shook their balled up hands. On three they formed their choice. "Scissors cut Paper!" Chiba-Usa exclaimed happily, "You get to go wake her up!" "Ah man! Well you better make sure there is nothing and I mean nothing for me to trip on." Shingo said as he walked out the kitchen.
Duo couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Hey Hotaru, why are you guys so against waking up Usagi?" "Yes, I am curious myself." Quatre stated. "You'll see in a minute. I do suggest that everyone backs up against the wall now." Setsuna said going to the far wall followed by Chiba-Usa and Hotaru.
Duo looked at everyone and shrugged his shoulders. He walked over to where Hotaru was gave her one of his most charming smiles. **Wow, man is she ever a babe.** Duo thought.
Hotaru saw Duo's smile and blushed a little though she was still upset about him claiming to be Shinigami. Duo caught the blush and his grin became even bigger. Thinking it might be a good idea the others followed. There had to be a reason for it. After it all it wasn't their home. About a minute later they heard a god-awful scream followed by,
"SHINGO!!!!!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!!!!!!!!"
Shortly after that they heard thumping and Shingo ran down the stairs and into the kitchen like there was no tomorrow. Quickly followed by a soaked Usagi who was shouting the whole time.
"Come back here you twerp! I'll get you for that!" "I had to get you up! It's not my fault that it's the only way to get you up!" Shingo shouted back as he ran around the table and into the living room. Usagi was right behind him when she suddenly stopped in place. Looking at the wall she noticed everyone either holding in laughter or shock.
"Hey Usagi-mama! Look who's all better." Chiba-Usa said pointing towards Quatre. "Q-chan!" Usagi shouted happily and tackled him in a hug completely forgetting about Shingo and being wet. Unnoticed to everyone but Duo and Hotaru Wufei had frowned when she hugged Quatre.
**That confirms it for me. Wu-man here has the hots for Usagi. Man never thought I'd see the day that happened.** Duo thought.
**I thought so. He has feeling for Usagi, but from the short time I've known him he has not accepted this feelings.** Hotaru thought. Sighing inside she thought, **I wish Minako was here. She would know how to get those together.**
Quatre blushed as Usagi hugged him and smiled a little. Usagi then realized she was still wet and looked horrified. "Oh Q-chan! I forgot! I'm sorry! Now I've ruined your clothes." "It's all right. I'll just change when I return home." Quatre said trying to reassure her. "I won't have any of that." Usagi said. Turning to Setsuna she asked, "Do you have anything for Quatre?" "I'm sure that I do. Just give me a minute." Setsuna said and left.
Smiling she looked at the others. "You all look great in those clothes." "So do you Usagi." Hotaru said chuckling. Looking at herself Usagi remembered why she was down her and wet. Looking for Shingo she didn't see him. "Come on Chiba-Usa lets get dressed. I'll help you with your hair." She grumbled up the stairs.
As Usagi left Setsuna entered carrying a set of clothes. "Here you are Quatre. These should fit you nicely." "You don't really need to do this." Quatre said "Nonsense." Setsuna said handing him the clothes. "Now I do have a question for you young gentlemen." "What kind of question?" Heero asked "Well would you like to come with us to the Amusement Park today. It's a surprise for my nieces and nephew."
Heero thought about it and looked at the others. Doing something he didn't normally do he asked them, "What do you think?" Duo's jaw dropped and all he could do was nod his head yes. "I don't see why not." Trowa answered "Whatever." Wufei said "I would love to go." Quatre answered. "Then that's your answer." Heero said to Setsuna.
"Wonderful. Now remember it's a surprise. They don't know anything about it." Setsuna said "My I use your phone?" Quatre asked. "Sure it's out there in the hall." "Thank you." Heading to the hall Quatre picked up the phone and called his home. Hearing Rashid's voice over the phone smile. "Hello Rashid." "Master Quatre! Where have you been?" "I'm sorry for worrying you my friend. I am at a friends'. You remember Usagi? Well me and the others stayed the night." "I remember her. Is everything all right?" "Yes, I will be spending the day with Usagi and her family. When I return tonight I will explain everything." "Very well Master Quatre, be well." "I will my friend. Goodbye." "Goodbye." Quatre hung up the phone and returned to his room to change.
*****************
Usagi brushed Chiba-Usa's hair and started to place it in its usual hairstyle. While brushing her hair Shingo entered not expecting Usagi there. Hearing the door open Usagi saw Shingo. Before he could run out of the room she had grabbed him.
"Don't worry Shingo. I'm not mad at you any longer. Though we all need to talk." "About what?" Shingo asked. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Usagi told them, "It was just that I don't want to lose you two. I love you both so much that it would kill me if I lost you." "We know Usagi but we want to help. We feel the same about you and we don't want anything to happen to you." Shingo said "I want to help you fight, Mama. I am still a Sailor Scout. I have a duty that must be done." Chiba-Usa told Usagi.
Sighing Usagi hugged them both. "I know and with this new enemy I have decided to train you both. This way you will be ready next time." "Train us?" both asked. "Usagi what do you mean. What can I do?" Shingo asked surprised. "Once we find Luna and Artemis they will release your power so that you can help. Until then you will stay out of the battles. You have the ability to transform now. Shingo you are now a Prince of the Moon Kingdom. With that you have the ability to help defeat the enemy." Usagi answered. "You mean that you will let me help?" Chiba-Usa asked "Hai, but until you have passed your training I only want you to help when you have no choice." "All right." Chiba-Usa said "Good. Now there is something else I must say." Taking a moment Usagi looked both of them in the eye. "Remember that we have each other and that the others would want us to move on and be happy. They will always be a part of us and as long as we remember them, then they will live on. Today is a new day. We have new lives now and its time to do what they asked."
Shingo looked at his sister with wonder and then smiled slightly, "Don't forget to take your own advice and remember that Mamoru told you to find a new love."
"How did you know that?" Usagi asked surprised. "When we went to get you for dinner. We heard everything." Chiba-Usa answered. "We didn't have the heart to enter so we left." Shingo said. "I'll try to follow my own advice and maybe one day I'll find someone, but enough of this. We don't need to start crying. I think we have cried enough. No more tears." "No more tears." Shingo and Chiba-Usa said in agreement.
Unknown to them nine figures watched them and sighed with relief. "It's about time that Meatball head listened to us." "Now Rei calm down." "Yeah listen to Ami, we would have done the same thing." "I know Minako." "So what do you think of that Wufei guy, Mamoru?" "I know that he'd better stay away from my little girl!" "Now honey we discussed this already." "I know, sorry dear." "Well Makato, as long as he makes Usako happy then I am happy." "I know that Duo kid had better stay away from my Firefly or he'll be hurting." "Now Haruka, Hotaru will be able to handle him. And I think he would be perfect for her." "You would Michiru." "And what is that suppose to mean!" "Nothing, It didn't mean a thing!" "Humph!" "Ah come on Michiru. I'm sorry. Don't be like that." Everyone giggled at the two and went back to watching their friend from heaven.
*********************
Merian watched the Senshi and smiled. "Even in death they don't change do they, Luna, Atremis?" "Apparently not." Luna said a little sad. "Don't be sad Luna." Artemis said "Yes, Luna don't be sad. Be happy. You'll be with Usagi again today." Merian said "Really?!" Luna asked excited. "Yes. This will just add to the surprise Setsuna is about to give her." "I missed her so much. When I saw the house I thought she had died." Luna said watching her Hime. "But then you appeared telling us she was still alive..." Artemis began trailing off "I know. She blames herself about forgetting you. She knows you are alive, but fears that you may hate her for leaving without you." "Well I'll put a stop to that." Luna said firmly, "It wasn't her fault. She was filled with grief and wasn't thinking about anything except getting her and her brother somewhere better." "Don't tell me, tell her when you see her. Though preferable without the boys knowing." Merian informed Luna "We know." Artemis answered for her. "Well then lets find a good spot to put you." She said looking out the gate.
**********************
Usagi was so excited and couldn't contain it. Chiba-Usa was a little embarrassed by her future mother's behavior but felt just as excited. Shingo tried to stay calm but between, Usagi, Chiba-Usa and Duo it was impossible.
"Oh what should we ride first?" Usagi asked bouncing around like her name. "Calm down onna." Wufei growled. She was attracting a lot of attention and he didn't like it. Especially with the looks the guys here where giving her. **What am I thinking? I shouldn't care. I have no interest in her that way.** but his thoughts could not stop the feeling of jealously that appeared when he saw a guy looking at her. "What's your problem, Wuffers. We're supposed to be having fun!" Usagi demanded placing her hands on her hips. "Don't call me Wuffers!" Wufei yelled "Then don't call me Onna!" Usagi yelled back
While they were arguing the others decided to leave them behind. They didn't want to stay around and listen to them argue all day. "I wonder how long till they notice they're alone?" Shingo asked "In maybe ten minutes or so." Hotaru said "Well what shall we do first?" Quatre asked. "Water rides or coasters?" Trowa asked "Coasters!" Shingo and Duo said happily. "All right then Coasters it is." Setsuna said smiling. Looking around she then noticed that Chiba-Usa was missing. "Where is Chiba-Usa?" "With Usagi and Wufei." Heero said. "I wonder why she stayed with them?" Duo wondered. "Who knows." Shingo stated shrugging. "Race ya to that coaster." He said changing the subject. "Eat my dust." Duo said taking off. "Hey! Cheater!" Shingo yelled chasing after him.
***********************
Usagi continued to argue with Wufei when suddenly she felt a light tug on her hair. Looking down she noticed Chiba-Usa there. "Usagi-mama I want to ride some rides." Chiba-Usa whined "Hey where did everyone go?" Usagi asked looking around. "Apparently they left, Onna." Wufei said empathizing Onna. Glaring at Wufei she picked up Chiba-Usa and walked away. "And where are you going?" Wufei asked "Away from you, Wu-man." She answered Grumbling Wufei followed them. He wasn't about to be left alone here in this place.
Usagi looked at Chiba-Usa and smiled. "So what ride you want to ride squirt?" "Hey don't call me Squirt. Ummm, how about that one there?" she asked pointing "Sure." Usagi replied "Can you put me down now?" "Sure, there is that better?" "Hai, Usagi-mama." Wufei grumbled as he followed them.
Usagi turned to Wufei and said in a firm voice, "Quit grumbling and have some fun!" Grabbing his hand she dragged him on to the ride. Taking a seat behind Chiba-Usa, Usagi grinned at Wufei.
"What are we riding?" Wufei asked "Just wait and see. Don't forget to buckle up." Grumbling some more he buckled up and waited. Chiba-Usa smiled to herself, **This is the perfect! I know Usagi will freak! If I heard right those kids thought this ride was terrifying. Operation Love Birds is now a go.**
"When is this thing going to start?" Wufei asked "Soon be patient." Usagi replied. And sure enough right after she said that the ride began. "See told ya." "Whatever." Wufei replied
The ride entered a tunnel and everything became dark. Usagi fidgeted a little. She didn't know what to really expect. She knew it was a horror house but they were never scary. After a few minutes Usagi found out how wrong she was. Screaming in fright she latched on to the nearest thing to her, which happened to be Wufei. She buried her head into his shoulder hugging him tight.
When she first latched onto him he was surprised, but he quickly recovered. When he was about to yell at her to get off her grip had tightened and her head was buried into his shoulder. So instead he allowed her to stay there. When she thought it was safe she would let go of him but would be right back where she had been after a few seconds. On the forth time latching onto him with fear he put his arm around her and said, "Stay put. You know that they aren't real."
"B-But they're scary!" Usagi whined a little. "Then why did you come on this ride?" "Well Chiba-Usa wanted to and I don't remember the haunted houses ever being this scary." She replied then screamed when a zombie flew above them.
Chiba-Usa turned to see Usagi in Wufei's arms and smiled. **Yes, it's working. I knew watching Minako set people up would come in handy.** Every now and then she would turn back to look at them and she could have sworn that Wufei had a slight smile on his face every time Usagi buried her head into his chest or shoulder. But it was to dark to tell for sure.
When they entered out of the other end of the tunnel Usagi removed herself from Wufei's arms blushing. When Usagi left his arms Wufei frowned a little. He didn't mind having her in his arms. He didn't mind at all and that was starting to worry him. **I can't fall for her.** he thought to himself as he step off the ride. **Why not a familiar voice asked?** **It would be betraying Merian.** **Merian's gone its time to move on.** **Move on? No I can't, I won't!** Wufei thought.
"Fei-chan are you all right?" Usagi asked worried. Wufei seemed to be far away.
Wufei came out of his thoughts and looked at Usagi slightly startled at the nickname.
"Fei-chan do you need to sit down?" Usagi asked placing her hand lightly on his arm. Wufei looked into Usagi's concerned eyes and stood transfixed much like the last time he had looked into her eyes.
**To late.** that annoying familiar voice said laughing. **To late.** then it disappeared.
"No, Usagi. I was just thinking." Wufei answered "That's it you're sitting down." Usagi said leading him to a bench. "I'm fine Onna." Wufei said firmly "Are you sure? You had this really strange look. I wasn't sure if you were all right or not." Usagi began. "I'm fine Usagi. So what is the next ride we're going on?" Wufei asked Usagi gave him this look that said I don't fully believe you, but if you insist then fine have it your way.
"How about that coaster?" Usagi asked pointing. "Fine then. Lets go." Wufei said walking in that direction. Usagi looked at Chiba-Usa and asked, "What do you think?" "I think he is fine like he said. So don't worry about it." Chiba-Usa replied. Shrugging Usagi followed Wufei with Chiba-Usa following right behind her.
As the day went on Chiba-Usa was very pleased with herself. So far it seemed like her plan was working. They would blush when they accidentally touched each other or they would glance at each other when the other wasn't looking. **I never thought Wufei would do such things like blush or still glances at Usagi-mama. He just doesn't seem the type, but here he is doing just that. Now if only I can get them to say how they feel and kiss my mission is a complete success.** Chiba-Usa thought, **But how to accomplish it?**
Thinking to herself she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and tripped over something. Crying out in surprise she feel down. Usagi heard Chiba-Usa's cry and turned around to see her falling. Rushing over to her she asked, "Chiba-Usa are you ok?"
"Ow! I feel over something." She answered holding back the tears. Looking to see what Chiba-Usa feel over she stared in open shock. Wufei came over when he saw the two on the ground. Seeing Usagi's expression he asked, "What's wrong, Onna?"
Usagi slowly got up and walked over to it. Wufei watched as Usagi dropped on her knees she picked up a black cat with a crescent moon on its head. "L-Luna?" Usagi asked in wonder. As she said that the cat began to stir. Just as she was stirring a white cat with the same crescent moon came up meowing and jumped onto Usagi. "Artemis?" Wufei watched as the black cat woke up and saw Usagi. It meowed suddenly and started licking Usagi.
Usagi couldn't restrain herself anymore. She broke down crying happily. Her friends were back. Seeing her to start crying Wufei became confused. "Usagi what's wrong?" But she didn't answer. Noticing people were starting to stare Wufei picked her up and cared her to on of the benches sitting her down he tried to calm her down with the help of Chiba-Usa.
"Come on Usagi-mama please stop crying. You said no more tears." Chiba-Usa said Sniffling Usagi took in deep breaths trying to calm herself. "I-I k-know. I-I'm s-s-sorry." Usagi said. Wufei dug out the handkerchief that came with the clothes he was given and handed it to Usagi. "Are you through Onna?" Wufei asked. Nodding her head yes she hugged both the cats as if she was afraid they would disappear. "Onna I think those cats of yours do require air." Wufei said smirking. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry Luna, Artemis." Usagi exclaimed Chiba-Usa giggled a little at this. "So what's up with these cats?" Wufei asked "When we left we had to leave them behind. We thought they had died in fact, but here they are. They were Usagi-mama's and a friend's cat. Usagi really missed them she was just so surprised to see them that she just over reacted a bit." Chiba-Usa answered. "So what are we going to do with these cats? We can't take them on the rides with us." Wufei asked. "I'll take them. I see the others right over there." Chiba-Usa said and took both Luna and Artemis before they could protest. Taking off running she left Wufei and Usagi there alone.
*****************
Chiba-Usa smiled to herself as she ran up to the others. **Now to think of stage two. The KISS!** she thought. **But how to get them to kiss. Now that is the question. If only Minako was here.**
"Setsuna! Hotaru!" Chiba-Usa called happily coming out of her thoughts. "Look who we found!" Hearing Chiba-Usa's cry everyone turned to see the pink haired girl run over with something black and white. Stopping in front of Setsuna and Hotaru she displayed what was in arms.
Gasping Hotaru and Setsuna looked shocked. Setsuna wasn't expecting them here so soon. "Luna! Artemis!" they both cried out in surprise and joy.
The boys were curious and looked to see what all the commotion was about to see two cats in Chiba-Usa's arms. What was interesting was that they both had crescent moons on their foreheads. Seeing Luna Shingo stood shocked. **That means I can help Usagi now.**
"Wow what cute cats. What's the deal with the crescent moons though?" Duo asked "They were born with it." Setsuna answered picking up Luna. "She must be exhausted for her to be sleeping." "Artemis too." Hotaru said picking him up. "He he. Um well they kind got knocked out." Chiba-Usa said sheepishly. "Knocked Out?" Quatre asked. "Umm, well I kind of tripped over them running away from Usagi-mama." Chiba- Usa answered.
"Speaking of Usagi, where is she?" Shingo asked looking around. Smiling an evil like smile she shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. When I saw you guys I ran over without them." Chiba-Usa said. Hotaru looked at Chiba-Usa not believing a word of it. **She's up to something and I think I have a good idea what it is. I bet it was Minako's influence.** "Well let's continue on. She'll be fine. Wufei is with her after all." Setsuna said. Grabbing Chiba-Usa's hand they headed for the next ride.
On their way to the ride they heard a high pitch scream that only four recognized. "Usagi!" four voices shouted and took off running only to run into a crowd of frantic people.
The boys tried to follow but the crowd of frantic people separated them from the four that took off running. Seeing another way around they made it only to freeze in surprise.
***************
"Why that little brat." Usagi stated angrily. **I bet she planned this.** "Well onna are we going to sit here all day or are we going to go ride something?" Wufei asked "Yeah, Whatcha want to ride?" "I don't know. It doesn't matter to me." He told her "Fine then we'll go on that." Usagi said pointing at the free fall. "Fine." Wufei said heading in the direction of the free fall.
Just as Usagi was getting up something grabbed her from behind. Looking to see what grabbed her Usagi screamed in surprise and fear. Usagi struggled to get out of its hold only to start feeling weak as the creature began to drain her.
Hearing Usagi scream Wufei whirled around to see a humanoid female squid holding Usagi. It seemed to be draining her much like the cat creature had done to Quatre yesterday. He watched as Usagi tried to struggle out of the creatures grip and then just go limp.
"What wonderful life you have. It is bottomless and delicious." The creature said caressing Usagi's cheek.
Wufei charged at the creature hoping it would release Usagi if he hit it only to be flung back by one of its tentacles.
Heero came out of his dazed state quickly and aimed his gun. Firing it he was once again surprised at how it didn't phase the creature.
Just as he was about to fire again something white flashed down upon the creature and disappeared.
The creature screamed in pain as it lost its tentacle that had held Usagi in it. Usagi fell to the ground with a moan. Coming to from the impact with the wall Wufei saw Usagi on the ground motionless. Using the wall he was just thrown into for support he stood up and limped towards Usagi with an indescribable feeling of pain in his chest. Wary of the monster he made it to Usagi's side. Placing his fingers along side her neck he checked for a pulse and sighed with relief. It was there but so very faint. **How to get you out of here? I'm not strong enough to carry you, I barely made the walk over here from that wall.**
"Who dared to cut my arm and take away such delicious life from me!" the squid woman screeched in anger.
"Why don't you shut up!" a boy's voice yelled from behind the creature catching everyone's attention. As they looked for the owner of the voice they saw a small boy in a silver white oriental outfit (Think Ranma's outfit but white and silver) with a mask (think Tuxedo Kamen's mask) on holding a crystalline sword.
"You! You were the one to cut off my precise arm!" the youma bellowed
"Hai, I am the Silver Knight, protector of the moon, keeper of justice and for ruining a beautiful day with your presence you shall be vanquished!" the boy shouted lifting the sword into a fighting stance.
Screaming the youma charged at the Silver Knight throwing out a tentacle. The Silver Knight jumped away from the tentacle only to be wrapped into another tentacle. The Squid woman laughed at him saying, "So easily fooled and now your life is mine!"
The boys watched trying to think what to do when a voice shouted out.
"Death Scream!"
They watched as a purple ball shot out to the monster severing its tentacle. Screaming in pain the Youma shouted out. "Who dares cut off my precise tentacle!" Looking around the Youman and the boys watched as three figures appeared. The boys recognized the one known as Sailor Saturn, but not the other two.
One was a little girl with pink hair done up in cones. She wore a pink and white outfit much like Saturn's but the skirt held three layers the last a blue color and small wings were on her back. Where a tiara was on Saturn's head a Crescent moon was on the middle of her forehead. She looked like a little angel and the guys had to blink to believe what they were seeing.
Beside the little girl was a woman with long green hair wearing an outfit exactly like Saturn's but done in the colors of dark green, maroon, and white. She was holding a heart shaped staff shaped like a key.
"How dare you ruin such a day full of blossoming love and fun! In the name of Love and Justice! I Sailor Chibi Moon shall punish you!" "Protected by the Planet Pluto! The Senshi of Time! I am Sailor Pluto!" "Protected by the Planet Saturn! The Senshi of Silence! I am Sailor Saturn!"
Duo said quietly to the others while watching there entrances, "What is up those speeches?" The others just shrugged or didn't reply to his question more interested in what was going on.
Wufei heard the entrances but was more worried about getting Usagi out of harms way. Looking around he saw the others and called to them.
"Yuy!"
Hearing his name Heero saw Wufei injured and barely able to remain standing. Motioning to the others he ran over towards him and saw Usagi laying on the ground unconscious. From her shallow breathing it seemed that the youma did what the other one had done to Quatre the other day.
Duo immediately ran over to Usagi and picked her up while the others helped Wufei. "We need to get them out of here and find the others. I'm sure they can handle the monster like before." Nodding in agreement they started to leave the area when they where thrown forward. Duo turned his body landing on his back to avoid hurting Usagi and shouted out in pain. Heero, Trowa, and Wufei flew into a window of a near by souvenir store, while Quartre was thrown into a tree.
"I will not let you take my target. She has endless life essence and my master will be pleased!" the thing yelled and sending one of its tentacles out it started to pull Usagi away from Duo. Holding on to Usagi he took out a knife from his boots and stabbed the tentacle hoping it would work better than the gun had. To his surprise the monster screamed out in pain and let Usagi go.
While distracted Saturn and Pluto nodded to each other and sent out there attacks. The Squid woman screeched from the impact and Sailor Chibi Moon came forward. Bring out a wand from nowhere she started to twirl it like a baton. As she twirled little feathers and hearts surround her.
"Eternal.." she began to say as the feathers and hearts surrounded her. "Cosmic.." and as she said that pink light began to shoot out from the wand "Heart...." at this the heart, feathers, and light began to spin faster and shot out towards the youma spinning like a tornado after she said, "Ache!"
Seeing the attack the youman screamed out, "NO! Forgive my failure master!" before disintegrating into nothing.
Once the Monster was destroyed Sailor Saturn and the others hurried over to the guys. Gathering them in a group Sailor Saturn healed the boys. Looking at Duo she said in a tired voice, "You are starting to prove yourself." And walked over to where Usagi laid. Using the last of her energy she healed Usagi enough to wake her up. With her energy exhausted she fell back to be caught by the Silver Knight.
"You ok, Saturn?" he asked concerned. "Hai. Just tired." She replied.
Usagi moaned and opened her eyes. Looking around she saw Sailor Saturn, Pluto, and Chiba Moon as well as someone else. Upon closer look she knew it was Shingo and that Luna and Artemis gave him the ability to transform. Trying to sit up she found it difficult from still being so weak.
"Come everyone we must be going." Sailor Pluto said and turned to leave only to be turned around by a firm grip. "Who are you? Who do you work for?" Heero demanded Smiling slightly at Heero she replied, "I'm Sailor Pluto and I work for my Hime. We are not the enemy. We are here to fight these youma's that have appeared. Once we defeat them you will never see us again until we are once again needed." Once done speaking she got out of his grip and picking up Saturn she jumped out of there followed by the others. Frowning Heero still didn't like what was happening.
Feeling better Wufei walked over to see Usagi awake and trying to sit up but to weak to do so. "How are you feeling?" he asked so only she heard. "Tired and weak. Sorry that the day was ruined." She said smiling sadly. "Wasn't your fault." He answered picking her up. Usagi looked at him surprised but didn't complain. She was still too tired. Leaning her head against him she shut her eyes and fell asleep with a small content smile on her face.
"How is she?" Quatre asked startling Wufei. "Tired, but fine I think. The purple Onna healed her it seems." He answered. Quatre nodded his head and smiled inside. It seemed that he was finally seeing that Wufei cared for Usagi, which was a rare thing for him. He didn't know why Wufei thought all women weak and didn't like them, but it seemed he was starting to change his opinion for Usagi.
Heero and the others came to them and asked how she was and Wufei answered exactly as he had before. "We need to find the others and take her home." Trowa said to everyone "Right, lets split up. Wufei and Quatre stay here with Usagi. Duo head Right, Trowa head Left and I'll head Straight." Heero said and started off in his direction.
Not long after they spilt up they found everyone. Coming back everyone rushed over to Usagi worried. "Is she all right they all asked?" together. Wufei nodded his head and stood up still holding her. "We should take her home and let her rest." Setsuna nodded in agreement and everyone headed back.
Once back at the house Wufei placed Usagi in gently in bed. Covering her up he looked at her for a moment and then walked out to. Walking down the steps he nodded to the others.
"We must be going. We'll stop by to see how Usagi is doing tomorrow." Quatre said. "Thank you for all the help and the interesting day. Good bye." "Good bye. When Usagi wakes up we'll let her know. Have a safe journey." Setsuna replied.
With the boys gone Hotaru sighed and sagged down the wall in exhaustion. "Finally their gone. I don't how much longer I would have held out. I think Trowa or Heero might have noticed the act, but I can't say for sure." "Lets not worry about that for now and let's worry about getting you in bed." Setsuna said picking her up and carrying her to her room. Hotaru didn't complain and once in bed she immediately fell asleep.
Shingo and Chiba Usa walked to Usagi's room followed by Luna and Artemis. Crawling onto the bed all four curled up to Usagi and fell asleep. Setsuna walked in seeing them and smiled. Covering them up she then left to sleep herself.

There now I know that was long but that was the reason it took me forever to write as well as the fact I am getting married. I couldn't find a good stopping place so it dragged on to FOURTEEN PAGES!!!!!!! Well I hope you like it and hopefully the next chapter won't take so long to write.
