The ultimate question; "Am I going to reach the 300 reviews???"  Sure looks like it!  I'm near enough, though.  I never expected my story to become that popular in the first place, so I'm thrilled!  I've had plenty of good feedbacks once again, so let's take a moment to thank them, shall we? :

Fate has brought us together

Chapter 25:  Little problem…

____________________________________________________

  The sudden sunlight hit her square in the face.  Giving off an annoyed groan, she turned on her side, right into a patch of hair.  She suddenly remembered the confrontation with Chaos and thought with a frown; 'How am I awake?  I should still be healing…'  She groaned again and opened her eyes, to see what was tickling her face.

  She almost shrieked in surprise, but thought better when she spotted Harry next to the…Hum! Hum! Problem…  She was almost afraid to look down at herself.  But she did.  Damn!  Why did this always have to happen to her?  She took the small bundle before Harry could wake up and carefully got up.

  She was still a bit wobbly and the chains were restraining her movements…and her powers, she thought with a frown.  She left a small note to the still sleeping Harry and hurriedly left the infirmary before anyone could spot her.  She was going to have to wait for her power to fully regenerate before transforming into her real self again.

  In the mean time, her alter ego was going to be a handful.  She had to speak to her before joining the others for breakfast.

*~*

  Harry woke up an hour later with a feeling of emptiness next to him.  He turned and petted the spot next to him.  'There's nothing there………..WHAT?!'  His eyes opened with a snap and he stared.  He started to panic.  Where was she?!  That's when he spotted a piece of paper lying where she once slept.  He opened it and read the content swiftly.

  Harry,

            I have something to do and it couldn't wait.  Just go to breakfast.  I'm sorting some…things out for the moment. I

           love you.  Sere

  The green eyed boy frowned in worry.  She sounded distressed and preoccupied.  And how was she even able to stand after the beating she had received???  Surely she couldn't have healed THAT fast!  He put his robes on and slowly descended the stairs leading to the Great Hall.  He was still tired and weak, but he had to ask Sirius if he had seen her get up. 

  Everybody in the Hall shut up when they saw him enter.  Sirius all but knocked his chair away before running to him, helping him stand.  'Who knew the stairs could be so tiring!' Harry thought ironically.

  Pomfrey all but rushed to him and started to check him and reprimand him for his lack of brains.  Hermione hugged him and Ron gave him a friendly slap in the back.  He almost stumbled in his chair.  "Ron!  Don't punch him!  He's still weak!"  Hermione scolded.  Remus chuckled.

  "Who knew you would actually leave the infirmary while Miss Moon is still unconscious?"  Harry gave a grim look that shut him up.  "She wasn't there when I woke up."  Sirius stared at him as though he hadn't heard correctly.  "What?"  "I said she wasn't there when I woke up.  That's why I came down here.  I wanted to know if you saw her."

  Professor McGonagall looked clearly shocked.  She managed a squeaky; "She's awake?!  And walking in her condition!?  Oh Merlin!"  But before they could reply, a fit of giggles resonated from the other side of the Hall.  Running footsteps were heard and the teachers tensed.  Snape was about to perform a stunning spell but what emerged from the doors made everyone blink. 

  A kid.  A kid no older than 3 or 4 years old ran into the Great Hall, still giggling.  She stopped right in front of the perplexed Harry, before giggling again and looking at him straight in the eyes.  "Wha???"  Sirius was slightly backing away.  Kids were never his forte.  Remus studied the child closely.

  "Doesn't she look familiar to you?  That hair style…"  Wide blue eyes stared up at him as he spoke and deep red hair bounced when she turned.  She let out another giggle and latched onto an unsuspecting Harry's leg.  "Chibi!"  Harry had the same coherent thought than Sirius.  "WHA?"

  A rattling of chains was heard, before a very familiar voice let itself known. "Wha indeed, Mr Potter.  I see you found the little problem I had do deal with before coming down."  Everyone turned and stared.

  Sirius started to sputter and Remus had to pat him in the back.  But his eyes never strained away from the disturbing view presented before him.  Harry managed a very weak "Serenity?", before the little girl finally detangled herself from his legs and ran to the other young woman.

  "Chibi!  Chibi Chibi!"

  "I told you not to run away like that!"  She admonished.  The little girl merely giggled and latched onto her hair.  She gave a disgruntled and exasperated sigh.  Harry tried his chance once again.  "Serenity? Is…Is that you?"  He took one step forward but didn't dare go further.  Another sigh.

  "Yes Harry.  It's me."  His heart leaped.  And Sirius all but burst out; "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!"  'What the hell indeed!"  Harry thought, taking in her sudden new appearance.

  She was still as tall as she was before, but her hair had taken the color of sun kissed gold, making her look like a veela.  Her odangos were ball shaped, instead of the hearts the kid was now sporting.  What stroke him the most, though, were her eyes.

  Before, they were blue, but silver specks were always visible.  Now, they were a stunning deep blue.  The same as the little girl's, he remarked.  She was wearing her robes but when she suddenly moved, a rattling sound was heard.  She seemed to want to hide something from him.  She didn't last long after his speculative gaze.  She closed her eyes guiltily before letting her outer robes fall off.

  He took a sharp intake of breath, and heard most of the people in the hall do the same.  She was completely healed, no traces of scars whatsoever on her.  But what made him stare were the chains.  2 sets of long, pure crystal chains restraining her movements.  One set was linking her wrist together, while the other; her feet.  They were trailing a little on the ground behind her.

  She walked to them, trying to ignore the stares she was getting, the little girl following obediently, still gripping her long hair.  She put her hands on her hips.  "Well?  Are you gonna stare all day or move a little and say hello?"  That made Harry come back to reality and he hugged her tightly.  "You have a lot of explaining to do!"  Serenity snorted, but hugged back nonetheless.

  "So…What's with the chains?  And the new hair color?  And who's the kid?"  Sirius asked curiously, between two bites.  Serenity leaned back tiredly in her chair.  "Hum…Well, it's like this: When my power source, the Cosmos Seed, thought I took too much time healing, it decided to hurry up the process a little.  What you are seeing now is my previous identity, before I became Cosmos."

  Ron hastily interrupted.  "So does this means you're not Cosmos anymore?"  Serenity chuckled but her eyes told another story.  "I cannot become Tsukino Usagi-Sailor Moon-ever again.  The transformation in my true form is irreversible.  But to effectively heal me, the Cosmos Seed divided my personalities so it could do its work easily.  So that's why I'm stuck like this until I'm completely healed inside.  See those chains?"

  She approached her wrist to them and Remus took it in his hands.  He almost fell on the floor.  "IT'S HEAVY!!!  What is it made of?!"  "I don't think it's heavy.  Anyway, these chains act as a restrain.  They prevent me from using too much energy while I'm recovering.  They'll react strongly if I do, and I'm stuck with them.  I just have to be careful."

  She paused as the little girl jumped in her lap and made herself comfortable, falling asleep.  She smiled serenely at her and Sirius whistled, eyes twinkling deviously.  He turned to his godson, who was watching the scene, completely disturbed.  "So Harry…What about that hidden kid of yours?"

  He gave a bark of laughter when Harry turned to him, completely red.  "She's not mine!"  He squeaked.  They diverted their attention to the now giggling Serenity.  "She's not ours!  She's me, Sirius!"  Sirius looked shocked and pointed a finger at her, then at the kid.  "She's yours?!  How? When? Wha?"  Harry's eyes just got bigger.

  The bunny had trouble controlling her laughter and she corrected him between 2 laughs; "You got it all wrong, Sirius!  Remember when I said the Cosmos Seed divided my personalities?"  Sirius nodded dumbly.

  "Well, here's my other personality!  This little girls name is Chibi Chibi.  Her name means small small, don't ask yourselves why.  And she's ME!  She's just a part of my heart, though.  She'll have to stay here with me until the healing process is over.  I really don't know how much time it'll take…"  She took a pensive posture.

  Harry nodded as best as he could and gave a positive grin.  "Don't worry!  It shouldn't be too complicated!  After all, she's only a little kid, right?"

*~*

  *One week later*

  "Ugh!  Kiiiiiiilllll me!"  Harry plopped himself in a big fluffy comfy chair in his Godfather's chambers.  Remus was there, trying to stifle his laughter with a cough, while Sirius was chuckling nervously.  "That bad, huh?"  An irritated groan was heard.

  "I don't want to have children…Ever.  Why me?  I'm not even fully recovered from my fight!  It's not that I don't like the little bundle of joy that she is, but…"  He never had the chance to finish his phrase.  The door creaked open and a red blur attached to his legs.  "CHIBI!!!"  The Boy-Who-Lived gave out a full out whine and then; "Do I have a radar device hidden on me or what?!"

  "Chibi?"
