Hello! How's it going? You know, I'm totally cracked in the head. I'm actually starting to write this chapter at 11:35pm…I'm sure I won't finish it tonight either…One can only hope. ^_^;
I haven't had many reviews, people. Well, I'm counting 8 at the moment for chappie 26. *author in baby talk* Ohh! Are the little weaders scared of the little go button? (I think you got the message… ^_^)
But thanks to those who reviewed. I won't press anybody, though. I know school started or will start soon for some people so you won't be on the computer that often. Oh well!
I wanna thank:
Firelightz: You said it yourself; USAGI restored them, not Cosmos. She kinda transformed afterwards. (Hey! It's my story after all!)
Koosei: I intended to have a part with Usa and Seiya, of course! (Duh…)
SerinityRules: Hi there! Thanx for the review!
Etj4Eagle: Wow! A new reviewer! Hello! ^_^
Sailor Millenia: Anything for you!
Chibi Koneko: Don't worry! Seiya will be male! (*purrs*)
Harry Potter 007: Another encouraging review! Thanx!
Kamikaze Neko: I know the evil and traitor senshi plot is old, but damn me, I love it anyway. Thanks for the cool message, BTW. I'll try to not make Seiya suffer too much. Love him too! (Hey! I hate maths too!)
On to chapter 27! Enjoy! ^_~

Chapter 27: Surprise!
________________________________________________________________________
*At Hogwarts*
"How are you, Sere? Is the healing progressing fine?" Harry sat on the bed of the bunny's chambers, trying to get ready to go to his classes. Mme Pomfrey had finally declared him fully healed and he could go to his classes full time again. The past weeks had been uneventful; well, more uneventful than the habitual, anyway.
"I'm fine, Harry dear. Chibi Chibi should return to where she belongs very soon." She tossed a look at the sleeping child in the middle of the bed before smiling at Harry's silly relieved grin. "Go on or you'll be late for your class. I'll see you at lunch, ne?"
"Of course!" He got up and hugged her close to himself. With a rattling of chains he knew that she wanted to do the same. But before she could, he backed away and took both her hands in his, deposing a light kiss in each palm. She sighted in contentment. Then, he chuckled. She gave him a questioning look.
"What's so funny?" "Humm? Oh! I was only remembering the 'lesson' you teach Malfoy with those chains. Bloody good memories. Look at the time! I'll see you in the dining room! Ja!" Usagi sat on the bed, gazing at the red haired child. The mental picture came back in her head and she chuckled herself. It had surely been interesting.
*3 days before*
Malfoy was being his usual b*tchy self. It was the end of DADA class and he was pissed. The Gryffindors had won themselves MANY house points, Potter being the first to have both teachers' attention. He was following the flow of people when the annoying red little blur almost made him lose his footing when she wanted to go to Harry.
He growled and picked up the kid by the back of her shirt. Of course, Harry and the rest of the Gryffindors had seen this and were now marching towards the Slytherin boy. But before they could begin to hex him, a voice rang out. "Chibi Chibi! There you are!"
She was on her way to see Harry but Chibi Chibi had taking a couple of steps in advance. She took the picture in, approached and glared. "Malfoy, would you kindly put her down. She's not a toy." Malfoy sniggered and said, mockingly: "And what are YOU going to do about it? You can't even use your powers to stop me!"
Harry was about to use Excalibur
("It won't go back to my wand form! I can't take a sword everywhere I go!" He had whined, when he had picked Excalibur from Hogwarts' grounds. Serenity had created a sheath for it eventually when it became too much of a burden in his classes.) When Usagi walked calmly up to the nasty Slytherin.
She had then advanced until their nose were almost touching and smiled a sickly sweet smile. She had plucked Chibi out of his hands and set her gently on the ground, before whispering in his ear; "Don't provoke me."
His mistake? He talked back. "And what if I do?"
She gave a twisted grin that made him back away slightly but it was too late. She did a back flip and the chains attached on her feet moved with her. Hands still on the ground, she turned her body on the side and gave herself a push. She made a move as if she wanted to kick him but instead, the long crystal chain wrapped him in a bind. She then pushed herself to her feet, Malfoy going down with the chain with a yelp.
She had then towered over him and gave him a chilling glare. "Believe me; I can still kill you if I want to. I'm not a part of the wizarding world so nobody can do a thing about it. So I suggest you lay low when you cross me or my friends." A squeak had been her answer, along with a clap of hands. Sirius and Remus had watched the whole thing.
"Bloody good defence technique, don't you think, Moony?" "Why yes, Siri! Very instructive!" Sirius had then grinned from ear to ear and turned to the rabbit. "Sooo…Are we still going to dine together or will Mister Malfoy join us tonight?" Harry gave a snort and the Gryffindors started to laugh. The Slytherins were, of course, long gone. So much for house spirit.
*End memory*
Serenity gave a last chuckle and got up, Chibi Chibi following behind her. "I think it's time to go down, don't you think?" Wide blue eyes stared at her cutely. "Chibi?" They made their way down to the dining hall silently, Chibi Chibi looking down at each window they crossed on their way.
They were the first to arrive in the dining hall so she decided to simply sit down and wait for the students to arrive. "Classes should end soon, Chibi Chibi. Don't go too far!" The child ran out of the hall, still giggling. She was probably going to bug Harry the second he came out of class…again.
"Oh well!" Shrugging, she summoned a house elf. "Ohhhh! It's mistress Serenity! What can Dobby do for mistress Serenity? Dobby is at your service!" The house elf started to bounce up and down in joy, or something resembling it anyway. "So, you're the Dobby that Harry has talked to me about. It's nice to meet you, Dobby."
The house elf stopped his bouncing immediately and stared at her with total admiration. "Mistress Serenity is glad to meet a humble house elf such as us? Dobby is honoured!!! Honoured, honoured, honoured!!!" "Hum…Yeah." She gave it a half smile, all the while thinking; 'Harry was right. This house elf is really hyper…*sweatdrop*.
"Well anyway, I called you because I was starting to be a little thirsty." "Oh! Oh! Dobby can bring you anything! Anything you want, yes he will! What does the mistress wants? Pumpkin juice, Butterbeer?" "That's nice, Dobby, but a simple glass of water will be fine. Please?" "Dobby is going!" With a loud crack, the house elf disappeared and promptly reappeared with the glass of water.
"Dobby is back with the mistress' water! Dobby is going back to the kitchen, now! Bye bye!" He disappeared again and the bunny gave a sigh of gratitude. "Thank god we don't live with him! He could have a heart attack just from being too happy. She took a gulp of water and put the goblet on the table and leaned her elbows on it at the same time.
"What's taking them so long? I don't think we were that early." She was getting bored, so she started to play with her water, by doing intricate gestures with her hands. The water flew out of the goblet and followed her gestures. It was simple, so it wasn't going to drain her energy too much.
She formed the harp of Mercury and started to play some music, just to change her mind, when Chibi Chibi's giggles were heard, along with some footsteps. She sighted loudly and started to turn towards the doorway. "Finally! I'm hungry! Do you have any idea of how long I've been waiting for you to finish your clas…ses?
She stared.
"I don't know about classes, Odango, but I see you haven't changed that much! Still as hungry as ever!" The alien group laughed along with the black haired singer. Her heart was pounding so fast, she took a shaky breath. The harp suddenly became liquid and the water fell on the floor in its original liquid form, splashing her on the way. But she didn't seem to mind in the least.
"Sei…ya? Is it really…you?" The black haired boy smirked and walked to her, stopping just in front of her. "Really, Odango, you deceive me! How can you not recognize someone as handsome as me!" Yaten snorted in the background, but he paid no heed…he smiled. "But really? I missed you, Usagi-chan. So much!"
Then, he hugged the frozen bunny with all he had. "So much!" He said again in a whisper. Usagi seem to unfreeze at this and gave a sad look, before ignoring the pang in her heart and smiling, hugging him back. That seem to make the others move, thinking that she wasn't angry with them.
"It's great to see you're all right, Usagi-chan!" "Yaten! Taiki! It's so nice to see you guys again!" She knew she was crying, but she couldn't help it. Those were her friends, the ones who supported her until the end. "Galaxia, Kakyu, Siren, Crow, Nyanko! I can hardly believe it! How did you come here?"
Kakyu gave her a comforting hug, well, as much as she could because Seiya was still clinging to the rabbit's arm. "You see, Usagi-sama, we felt the powers of Chaos not so long ago. Then, your friends in Elysion arranged a transport so we could stay here a couple of days. We should thank them, by the way. It took a lot of energy just to do this transfer." Usagi nodded.
"Helios has always had this tendency of helping people. I thought I felt a stirring in Elysion but with the Cosmos Seed still asleep, I didn't take any action. It would've woken up if there had been a problem." Galaxia then became serious. The bunny looked at her questioningly and Seiya tightened his hold on her protectively, glaring a little in a warning manner. Galaxia ignored him.
"Serenity-sama! As happy as I am to see you again in good health, I cannot help myself but to wonder; why in the world didn't you asked for help with Chaos?! It was foolish of you! You, who taught me to never fight alone! You could've been killed! How selfless!" The golden senshi was almost yelling at her now. Seiya decided to interfere, angry himself.
"How dare you talk to her like that! I thought we all came here in peace! You have no rights to criticize her!" He let go of his hold on her and marched right up to Galaxia. The others tensed but didn't move. Serenity sat down on the bench and Chibi Chibi came to her, hugging her leg. She looked at the ongoing argument then attempted to separate them, putting herself in the middle of the 2.
"Chibi! Chibi Chibi!" She gave the best glare she could and the 2 stopped, looking down at the child first, then at the very tired looking rabbit. Seiya looked at his feet guiltily, and then strolled down to where Serenity was sitting. "Look at us! Fighting like cats and dogs when we're all on the same side! Can you forgive me, Odango?"
"Yes." That's when the others realised just how tired the moon warrior truly was. Nobody talked for a while, the atmosphere pretty tense. That's how the students and the teachers found them. Harry stopped dead in his tracks. "What the hell? Who are you?!"
The group looked up at the mass of students, startled. "Uh oh." Lead Crow sweatdropped and backed away. Suddenly, they were surrounded and sticks of some sort pointed at them. One of the teachers (they could tell because he was older), a long black haired, blue eyed man growled menacingly at them and hugged the rabbit to himself protectively, never giving her the time to say anything.
"If you hurt her I'll kill you!" He looked down. "Are you ok, Sere sweetie?" The students sweatdropped at their DADA assistant teacher's behaviour. "Hum, yes Sirius, I'm ok. But!..." "That's good. Harry!" The group watched as another long black haired, but green eyed boy, a student, this time, made his way to them and unsheathed a long glittering sword. He scowled at them.
"Who are you and what do you want with Serenity?" Fighter scowled at the boy. "And who are YOU giving us orders like that?" After a few tries, Serenity finally detangled herself from the grip Sirius had on her. "Fighter! Stop it! Harry, put Excalibur back in its sheath. They're friends from my original dimension."
They watched as the boy named Harry grudgingly put back the sword where it belonged and Seiya narrowed his eyes when he hugged Usagi to himself with one hand. Nobody dared to speak until the headmaster startled them. "Well, that was interesting! I don't think there's any more time to eat, so what the heck! Free afternoon for everyone! In the mean time, let us go to more private quarters to hear some explanations, shall we?"
He made the food appear and the senshis gaped. The students sheered for their free afternoon so they hurriedly forgot the incident, digging in. A nasty looking teacher offered to stay to watch the students, and when he passed beside Aluminium Siren, she took a step back and held her breath. The teachers, the green eyed boy, Serenity and the alien group then took off to the headmaster's office.
Lead Crow gazed at Aluminium Siren and made a face at her. "You can breathe, you know! Why did you hold your breath in the first place?" Siren looked uncomfortable for a second and the others listened to the conversation that was loosening the atmosphere. "Well, my momma always told me to be polite. So I held my breath so I couldn't be impolite to the nasty looking man!" Lead Crow sweatdropped.
"Why would you want to be impolite with him?" Siren fidgeted and then spilled out in one breath; "Because his hair was so sticky and greasy looking!!! It was giving me the chills!!! Doesn't he ever wash his hair?! It was disgusting!!!" Silence. And then, a snort, followed by full out belly laughter from the first man who had 'protected' Usagi. Another man beside the bunny started to laugh too, along with the green eyed boy who was holding Usagi's hand.
"HA!HA!HA! HA! HA! HA! That was the best!!! HA! HA! HA! I'll never forget that statement! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Usagi pouted then admonished them. "Sirius! Remus! Harry! Stop laughing, you guys! It's not funny! Professor Snape washes his hair! He just puts a slicking substance in them so they won't bother him when he brews his potions!"
"She's right, you know!" Usagi gratefully turned to Albus but the headmaster merely showed his own amusement. She huffed. "What am I ever going to do with you?" Seiya watched as the green eyed boy named Harry put his arms around her and whisper in her ear not too subtly; "Whatever you want!" Then, he kissed her passionately.
He glared and Yaten and Taiki winced in sorry for their friend. Sirius, as they heard Usagi call him, whistled at them. "You tell us when it's over!" They blushed bright red and pulled apart, gasping for air. Usagi then took a darker shade of red if even possible and she moaned internally.
'Don't tell me I just did that in front of the senshis!' She groaned out loud at the thought and buried her head in Harry's wood scented cloak. He merely hugged back and chuckled at her. She gave a muffled sigh. "And here I thought I was finally going to rest a little! Why me?"
Everyone laughed at her statement, even the senshis, not offended in the least by this statement. Seiya stared at her hidden form sadly.
'If you're happy…'
