Okay people! It's a good old western! I know there's only three or four of them in GW/SM but I know that this is nothing like them! Now, I hope you enjoy this! But, the GW/SM characters I plan to have are still unclear. I just know this is a H/U story. And I also know that Usagi is Japanese... Just use your imagination! ^-^

*I do not believe in disclaimers

Chapter 1: Half

Little 'Bunny of the Moon'; little 'Usagi Tsukino'. Both have the same meaning. The first in English, the second in Indian...both are the name of one girl. Usagi is what she prefers. But she struggles to live in the English world, for she is a heathen in their eyes. Indian Mother, English Father, nothing of a child. The year: 1827

~The Beginning~

The moans came from the girl that the woman cradled lovingly in her arms. Her hair was the blackest of midnight and silk; her eyes were as brown as a deer's felting horns, her skin as tan as leather but so much smoother.

The girl had blue eyes, and silky hair like her mother's, yet her hair was yellow like a dandelion's. Her skin was paler than her mother's, yet more tan then her father's. She had a generous attitude and was a sweet child. But tonight was a night of grief.

The girl held her mother's hand and buried her face in her chest. She gave small whimpers now and then, but the scene silenced her. Her father lay on the floor with a gunshot wound through his head.

"It has come." She whispered into her child's hair.

"What has come mommy?" she asked. Being a three year old was very hard in these times. The men are savage and it is scarce to find one good enough to support a family. It is scarce to find one to show emotion towards kids.

"It is legend in our tribe that a person who leaves for a white man will perish. Along with the person they have chosen." She looked at the child's worried and sorrowful face.

"Are you going to die to mommy?" she inquired in a small voice, barley more than a whisper.

"Do not forget," she continued, ignoring the question for fear the answer might be true, "if you have no where to go, I want you to go to our tribe... you remember the way, right?"

"Yes, mommy. You follow the moon's path to get there."

"That's right sweetie. Ask for 'Black Deer.' He is your uncle, he will help you." She finished.

"I don't want you to die, mommy!" She said grabbing her before she had a chance to stand up. "I love you!"

"Listen!" She said shaking the child by the shoulders, "Promise me you will find him one day! Promise me!" Her voice carried urgency the child could not understand. The child began to look at the candle that was the only light source besides the moon. It gave a small flicker and made her shadow dance.

"I promise. I'll find him one day." She said. She heard a small whimper as her mother hugged her firmly to her body. She felt a drop of water land on her forehead. "Why are you crying, mommy?"

"Because I love you too much." She whispered.

A small bark erupted from her mother's pouch. Her mother then let go of her and pulled a small ball of black fluff from the deerskin pouch. Even though they lived in a white man's world now, she still wore the hide of deer.

"I got you something honey." She stated through an unbearable smile.

"What is it, mommy?" she asked rubbing the soft fur of the animal.

"It's a black wolf pup. His name is 'Shadow.' Will you take care of him for me?" she requested.

"Of course I will, mommy! He's so adorable!"

"I'm glad you like you like him, Usagi."

"I don't like him." She paused looking at her mother's face witch always reminded her of honey, "I love him."

"Now, I want you to take care of Shadow. And I want you to go to our village for Black Deer." She planted a kiss on Usagi's cheek.

"Yes ma'am."

"Remember this one thing," she touched her fingers to her lips and then twisted them once and pointed them to the ceiling, which beyond was the sky, "I will always be there," then she touched Usagi's head, "there," then she touched her chest, "and there."

"You mean in mind, body, and soul?" She asked.

"Yes honey, in all of those."

The candle flickered out and then the embers lit it again in a second. Her mother was no longer there.

"Mommy?! Mommy?!" Her voice begged to the empty cabin. "Mommy! Where'd you go?!" her voice held wavers as tears streamed down her cheek. Then she felt her hair blown by a draft. She turned to the single window and stepped over her father's body.

She looked out the window as the moon hung low in the sky blinding the stars with its radiance. She stood in the chair near the window as her father's two horses galloped around in the field past her.

She turned to see a tall figure standing in the doorway.

"Mommy?" She asked walking to the figure, the dimness made it hard to distinguish different things. "Is that you?"

The person reached out and took the pup and threw her over his shoulder. She didn't scream, there was no one to scream to. She knew from the black scuffed boots that he was the sheriff. She had seen them before. She had seen them when she was under the table hiding. She saw them standing in front of her father before the loud bag and before he fell, before her mother had come home.

She bit the back of his neck.

"Now, now child! I'm here to help you! Calm down." he screamed dropping her and rubbing behind his head.

"You killed my daddy!" She screamed at him.

"I did not!" He said in a fake tone of astonishment.

"You didn't?" she asked as he kneeled down to eyelevel with her. She swiftly snatched her puppy before he could say a word. The moon, mother of the sky, lit in full shine tonight. It was bright outside.

"I'm here to help you."

She studied him. "Okay... but I get to keep my puppy?"

"I assure you, nothing will happen to it."

"Him." she corrected in a stiff voice.

"Okay. I assure you that you can keep him."

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"We are going to my house. I will help you from there." He gave an evil smile than no child could recognize what it meant. A child is too pure- hearted to know the difference.

"Okay." She said as he took her by the hips and lifted her onto a horse.

"Yah!" He screamed with the snap of a whip. The horse took off to lead her away from the moon, away from her home, and away from her past.

~13 Years Later~

Usagi bent down and patted the black wolf which came to her heel at a leisurely trot.

"Good boy, Shadow." She said. The dog which she was petting was the third generation [grandson, sort of,] of the wolf which her mother had given her. She gathered the rags-of-a-dress she wore and gathered them at her waist.

"Duo!" She screamed in the middle of the garden she stood in. A boy only a year older than her stuck his head from inside the cabin.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Will you please get me Shadow's tether? The head will be home in a minute." By 'head,' she meant the head of the house, the sheriff, which had kept her as a house servant.

Her voice was angelic and her features were the same as they had been as when she was a child. The exceptions being she was taller, more mature, and had breasts.

"Yes, ma'am." He said in politeness.

A smile appeared on her face, "When will you stop calling me that?" She soothed sweetly.

"As soon as you give me a kiss." He said mischievously. He had long, braided hair that reached all the way down his back and relaxed around his butt. His eyes were blue and he wore the deputy's badge on his belt. Due to the sheriff's cruelness, he would never wear it over his heart. And the sheriff happened to be his father.

"Oh, when will you ever five up?" She said with a sweet smile. Everyone in town knew that Duo and Usagi adored each other, but neither would give in and admit it.

"I won't give up unless you give me your body!" He said as he ran back in the door leaving Usagi to stand in the garden with a face as red as the tomatoes. Shadow nudged and licked her hand.

All of a sudden Duo was hurtled out of the door and onto the ground. He stood up and brushed himself off hurriedly.

"What have I told you, son?!" The sheriff screamed running out of the door after him.

"I was only playin', pa!" Duo screamed in a pleading tone.

The sheriff stormed up and snatched a vine off the rose bush. He walked to Duo in rage and raised his hand behind him and brought it across his Duo's face. A loud smack carried through the garden along with a gasp for breath. He turned to Usagi and brought his hand up again.

Shadow brought himself up and leaped on the man with the graying beard and badge over his heart. Saliva dripped into the man's face in warning. The wolf bared it's teeth and opened it's mouth to show it could rip off his head any minute.

The sheriff lay deadly still. The dog backed off and kicked dirt on the man.

"Shadow didn't mean nothin' by it, Mr. Maxwell. He was just protecting me!" Usagi screamed. "But if you hit me again, he'll kill you!"

"Let 'em try." He growled as he got up. "I'll shoot it's head off."

Usagi helped Duo up and examined his face. "Damn thorns." She muttered. Duo looked at her tenderly but turned his eyes fiercely to his father.

"As for you, boy," he began, "don't lay a finger on my bitch."

Usagi felt her rage burn inside her. She felt Duo's hand cradle the back of her head and lead her tears into his shoulder.
