Chapter 2 of Naisei
Rated R
By Miaka Hime
Gomen that this took so long to get out, this chapter isn't much better then the last one, it's kind of depressing and not that happy yet, hopefully it'll all work out that this whole fic won't be like that.
Anywhoo, I changed the name of this fic as well, because too many people are coming out with fic's that similar or the same as this one. Also, Naisei means Reflection on ones self image or something like that, I hope that clears up the name change ^.^ Lastly, Hiiro one by a long run, gomen to all those that wanted a Trowa/Usa romance, I plan on writing a moon kingdome one with them as a couple though! So if you guys are interested in me writing one like that please review and tell me!

Usagi left the apartment with Hotaru. The little girl had wanted some hot cocoa, but they didn't have any, so she and the little eight year old left their apartment in search of a restaurant that sold hot cocoa.
"Usa-hime! What about there? They have cake too!" Hotaru suddenly burst out, pointing at a Starbucks. "They still have Starbucks' here?" Usagi giggled. "Why wouldn't they?" A female voice said. Usagi swirled around to see Setsuna, in normal civilian garb. "Setsuna? What are you doing here?" Setsuna blushed slightly. "I got bored at the time gates." Usagi giggled again, she never thought she'd see the senshi of time blush, let alone admit she was bored. "Come on, I'll buy the hot cocoa." Setsuna said walking into the Starbucks.
Hotaru smiled and grabbed Usagi's hand. "Come on hime!" Usagi smiled a true, yet slightly strained smile and let Hotaru drag her into the Starbucks. As soon as they stepped into the small coffee house Usagi's face fell. "Look at all the people hime!" Hotaru said in childish glee, not yet realizing it was going to take a long time to get her hot cocoa.
"Maybe we should just go somewhere else." Setsuna suggested. Usagi nodded and turned around running strait into someone. "G-GomenI mean sorry." Usagi continued to spout out apologies until the shoes of the one she had run into (for that was all she had been staring at) started to walk away.
Usagi's head snapped up too look at the person, whom she had run into to see the back of a messy haired male figure. Hotaru cocked her head to her side and looked at the male's back, and then to the one that was next to him. "He has funny hair hime." She said with a giggle pointing at the boys long braided hair. "Hotaru-chan! It's rude to point!" Usagi reprimanded. The boy turned around. "It's also rude to make fun of someone's hair." He said jokingly. "Duo, didn't you say you were going to die if you didn't get a pastry right away?" A blond boy who was near them said. The one named Duo laughed. "I did say that huh?"
"You know, that weak onna is right, you do have funny hair, I should cut it off for you." A Chinese boy said with an evil smirk. Duo laughed nervously. "I like where my braid where it is thank you very much." Duo began to back away from the Chinese boy.
Usagi saw red. "Hotaru-chan is not weak." She stated icily. "All onna are weak, including you." Wufei said just as icily. "Iie you sexist bastard, why I ought to hen-" Setsuna grabbed Usagi's hand. "Iie, come on Usagi-chan." Usagi threw another glare at the four boys and about bumped into a fifth before leaving the café.
~*~*~*~*
The three senshi ended up settling for a simple restaurant that had coffee that tasted like someone had bathed in it. The cocoa was good from what Hotaru said though and after their drink they went to a local park where Hotaru played on the swings, not at all looking like the senshi of death and destruction she had used to be.
Usagi sat solemnly and looked at her feet. Her dear inner senshi, she missed them but they just didn't understand her anymore it seemed. Usagi suddenly felt like curling up in a ball and crying again, but she was being strong and held back the tears while reminding herself to wait until she was back at home to let the tears spill.
Setsuna glanced at her hime-sama and realized that it was time to leave, so she quickly collected Hotaru and she told Usagi they were ready to leave. Relief flashed across her features and she stood gracefully and followed Setsuna and the hyper Hotaru.
~*~*~*~*
When they arrived at home Usagi quickly went to her room and began to cry. Hotaru was put to bed and the three outer senshi had a meeting about Usagi.
"We thought this would help her Setsuna-chan." Haruka accused right after they were seated. "It will, but Usagi is highly depressed at the moment, if you had been as close as she was to the inner senshi and the man you loved had betrayed you by viciously raping you, wouldn't you be in the same boat as Usagi-chan?" Haruka didn't reply for a few moments before she finally nodded. "Hai, I suppose I might feel the same way." She admitted reluctantly.
"Usagi's been through a traumatic experience. I'm starting to wonder if she'll ever be the same again..." Michiru said sadly. "She will, you'll just have to give her time. I think all she needs is a few months and she'll be as good as new." Setsuna assured the two senshi. "I'm just so worried, what if she becomes suicidal?" Michiru said a few tears began to make way down her cheeks. "Iie, she will not go that far, that much I'm completely certain of." Setsuna said confidently. The two senshi nodded. "Let's all get some sleep, I'll make Usa-chan breakfast tomorrow." Michiru said standing. "We have to start school in a few days, so I'll get up and get our things." Setsuna said. "Well we do, you don't Setsuna." Haruka said peevishly. "Haruka! Don't be rude! Lets just go to bed." Michiru said quickly eager for sleep. "Gomen, Setsuna." Haruka said standing. Setsuna nodded and quickly stood as well. "I'll see you in the morning." Setsuna said quickly with a small smile before she went to her room.
~*~*~*~*
A few days later, Usagi started to act a little better and Usagi awoke on time for school and got into her stiff new uniform that was one of the ugliest things she'd ever seen, and then grabbed her things before Haruka drove them to school.
~*~*~*~*
Usagi walked into her first class, which happened to be English. Her worst subject, hopefully they'd improved on teaching over the centuries.
Usagi quickly sat down in the back row and waited to most likely fall asleep. Just as she began dozing she got hit in the head with a piece of paper which she quickly noticed as a note, reading.
Hey babe
I know he's boring, but if you fall asleep you'll regret it. I did it once and I got a bucket of ice water dumped on my head.
Duo AKA the guy on your left
Usagi looked to her left and saw the braided boy from the Starbucks waving to her and she quickly mouthed thanks before pretending to pay attention to her class.
After the bell rang Usagi quickly grabbed her things and started for her next class, that is until Duo caught up with her.
"Hey babe!" Usagi jumped. "Don't scare me like that!" Duo grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, sorry." He said. "It's ok, thanks for warning me about the teacher, I don't think I'd like to wake up from cold water." She said grinning in spite of herself, it was just hard not to with Duo grinning like an idiot. "No problem, I know it isn't pleasant, and it happens to me more often then I'll admit." Usagi giggled. "Do you always talk to people you don't know?" She asked. Duo shrugged. "To hot girls like yourself I do." Usagi blushed. "I-Iie, I'm not hot." Duo grinned again. "Sure ya are." He said. Usagi's blushed deepened until she realized she was going to be late for her next class.
"Gomen, I'm going to be late, see you later!" Usagi said running for her math class.
~*~*~*~*
After lunch Usagi went to her homeroom class and sat next to a boy with short messy brown hair who seemed intent on his lap top. Usagi sighed as the girl up front talked about Pacifism until finally Usagi leaned over to the other boys desk to ask him a question. "Please tell me she doesn't talk every homeroom?" She asked. "Hn." The boy replied. "You know it's rude not to answer." She reprimanded. "She does." He answered finally, in a monotone. Usagi cocked her head to one side and looked at the screen of his computer which was full of windows. "What are you doing anyway?" The boy didn't reply. "I thought I said it was rude to not answer." She said peevishly. "I don't care." He said in a monotone. Usagi frowned her feelings slightly hurt and she slumped in her seat. "I don't think I like this class." She whispered to herself. "You and everybody else." A familiar voice said. Usagi squealed causing a few heads to turn her way, making her blush slightly before she replied to the person to her right. "Duo, I didn't know you were even there!" She whispered. "Well I wasn't here, I kind just slipped in." He said. "And the weird girl didn't say anything?" He asked skeptically. "You mean Rerina? She wouldn't say anything since he's in here." He said pointing to the mean boy sitting next to her. "What's so special about him?" She asked. "She's got a crush on him, and I'm a good friend of his." Usagi looked at the boy again. He was capable of friends? He seemed kind of mean to her. "He seems kind of mean to me." She said outloud. "He kind of is." Duo said before turning around to pretend to listen like the rest of the class that was until he fell asleep.
