The Polls are in!
Yes - 18
No - 33
It is final; the Chibi-Usa from the SM series will not be Hiiro and Usagi's kid. Therefore, a new child will be born. acutally, it would be natural that Usagi and Hiiro have a different kid, seeing that Chibi-Usa would have been the daughter of Mamoru/Usagi...anyway, Congratulations to "No".

Chapter 7 "The Dream"
"You failed,"
Blue eyes widened in shock. "What?"
"You are not worthy!"
The crescent Moon on her forehead flickered. "I don't understand!"
"You can't,"
Usagi gasped loudly, bolting up in bed. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, her heart beating wildly against her chest. Blue eyes scanned the sunny room quickly, trying to find anything out of the ordinary.
What did it mean?
What did the dream mean?
'Not worthy?' mused the blonde, trying hard to get her bearings in tact. Her fists unconsciously tightened on the blanket.
"Usa-chan?" mumbled Hiiro, blinking several times trying to bat away sleep. He watched his wife breath deeply, taking in her sweaty appearance and abnormally pale face. He sat up quickly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," whispered Usagi, eyes still busy scanning the room. She waved her hand in dismissal, "Go back to sleep,"
"It's morning,"
"H-hai," mumbled the blonde, not really listening to him. Her mind still swirled over her little dream. It just didn't make sense.
Not worthy? Worth of what?!
Prussian eyes scanned the young woman with worry, he brushed away the matted hair on her forehead. "Daijabou?"
Unsteady eyes locked with his. They glimmered with unshed tears and confusion. "Hai,"
"You're lying," argued Hiiro, glaring slightly at his wife.
"I-I'm fine," whispered Usagi, quickly looking away as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
For some odd reason, she was losing…
…losing something…
"Usagi," breathed Hiiro, gathering the sobbing woman into his arms. He didn't understand what was going on, but listening to her sobs he guessed it was something serious. Whispering soothing words, both stayed that way for hours.
.....
Garnet eyes clouded in apprehension as they stared into the dark depths of a mirror. An odd vibe filled the Gates of Time, as the swirls of mist steadily grew by the ground. Sailor Pluto frowned.
"It's getting close," mumbled the Time senshi.
Sighing softly, the senshi tapped her Time Key once against the cold floor, making the mirror disappear into the dark abyss. Looking up at the dark green ceilings, her wise eyes softened.
"Gome ne, Hime,"
.....
"We are going to Japaaaaaan--ah!"
Duo came tumbling down the stairs like a sack of potatoes. Landing in a heap at the foot of the stairs along with other luggage, he let out a colorful string of obscenities.
"Who's big idea was it to wax the stairs?!" he grumbled, head emerging from the pile. Pink underwear dangled from his head.
"Oh, cool!" he grinned, looking up at his head.
"Ah!" cried Relena, snatching the underwear from his head and stuffing it into her suitcase. A red blush raged on her face, as she attempted to glare at the grinning man. "How dare you!"
"How?" blinked Duo, standing up and stretching his aching muscles. " I don't know, you left your suitcase open,"
Relena twitched slightly.
"I see you're still alive," grumbled Wufei, marching into the hall duffle bag in tow. He mumbled something about adding another coat of floor wax. Dropping his bag next to the others, he raised a skeptical eyebrow at the huge pile. "Yours?"
Duo grinned, "Hey, when you got great hair like mine, you need to keep it great!"
"If you let me chop it off, then perhaps we'll end up with less luggage,"
"Ah Wu-man, don't be mean!"
Glaring at the grinning man, he picked up his katana. "Run,"
Making an distinct 'epp' sound. Duo run for dear life…or, for his dear braid.
Dropping his katana, Wufei smirked. "That solves that problem,"
"You're not going to chase him?" asked Trowa, adding his and Catherine's bag to the pile of luggage.
"At least he would be out of our hair for a while," smirked Wufei, looking down the hall where Duo had run off.
"Smart," said Dorothy.
"Is everybody ready?" asked Quatre, looking around the room curiously.
"We're here!" announced Usagi, smiling slightly at the group. Blinking, she looked around slightly. "Where's Duo?"
Wufei shrugged.
"Ah," breathed Usagi, suddenly not wanting to know. She silently prayed that Duo was alright. Turning around she looked up at Hiiro, "Ready?"
"Hn,"
"Good," commented Sally, before looking down at her watch. "We should get going, our shuttle would leave in an hour,"
Everybody nodded and slowly began to pick up their luggage.
Hilde looked around, with a frown playing on her face. "What about Duo?"
.....
After a 2 hour shuttle ride, stuffing Duo in the luggage compartment and Usagi's constant whining of being hungry; the group finally managed to reach Tokyo, Japan…all seeming in one peace.
"Well, it's been a while," mused Relena, surveying the bustling shuttle port.
"So many cute chicks," grinned Duo, quickly spotting a group of giggling teenage girls. He waved brightly, only to be hit upright on the head by Hilde.
"Stop it!" she snarled, right eyebrow twitching slightly.
"Are you jealous?" grinned Duo, unknowingly skating on dangerously thin ice.
Hilde twitched some more.
"He has no idea what he's doing," whispered Catherine to Trowa. The green eyed man nodded in response, smirking slightly upon hearing a loud shriek of pain.
Duo landed in a head next to their luggage. Legs twitching slightly.
"You sleep on the floor tonight," growled Hilde.
Poor Duo.
Quatre turned away from the scene, and pulled out a cellular phone. "I'll call somebody to pick us up. I have a house here where we all can stay for Christmas,"
"House?" blinked Usagi, staring at the talking Quatre with confusion. "Like a normal house?"
"No," responded Hiiro, looking down at his wife with a slightly amused look. "Mansion,"
"Oh," breathed Usagi, looking back down on her lap. She sighed softly and leaned against Hiiro's frame, once again growing silent.
It was highly unusual.
Prussian eyes shone with worry as they surveyed his quiet wife. For the past weeks, she turned to be unusually quiet and only talked when spoken to. Sure, she still did voice her constant demands for food and did tend to go on an hormone driven emotional overdrive…yet…somehow…
…she lost her spark.
All after that one morning when she had woken up crying. Hiiro still needed to figure out why, she still hadn't told him about whatever it was she was crying about. One could have easily confused her sobs that morning as one of those pregnant moments…but he knew better.
Tightening his hold around his wife, Hiiro let out a mental sigh. He just hoped she'd tell him soon though. It was eating him up more that it did to her.
You are not worthy
Cerulean eyes clouded in confusion. The voice constantly kept repeating itself in her dreams. If she didn't dream of food or babies; she'd end up dreaming about the same thing over and over again. The same eerie voice, the same endless abyss, the same feeling of emptiness…the same nothing….
She still didn't understand it.
Her hand unconsciously touched her forehead. 'What's going on?' she mused, bowing her head slightly and allowing her fingers to glide over her forehead. They traced the non-existent crescent Moon.
"Usa-chan?"
You failed
It felt like a harsh slap in the face. The stinging sensation of reality and the dream made things more shocking. She just didn't understand. What did she fail?
"Usa-chan,"
Usagi's hand drop from her forehead, she bowed her head once more. Blonde bangs covering her watery confused eyes. The sensation of foreboding began to gnaw her mind, making her slightly tremble.
Everything was suddenly so cold…
"Usagi!"
Warm hands shock her shoulders roughly, bringing her back to harsh reality. Usagi's head began to pound with a terrible headache. She winced and looked up.
Hiiro stared at Usagi with growing worry. It wasn't like her to space out like that. Locking eyes with her, his eyes widened slightly upon seeing the inner confusion and turmoil in them. He held her tighter in an instant.
"Daijabou?"
She held on to him as if he were a lifeline. Trembling slightly, she just numbly nodded.
"The cars are here," said Quatre, also quite shaken. His eyes stared at the trembling young woman with worry. His grasp on the cell tightened. What could have caused her to feel such deep emotions?
Nodding mutely, Hiiro took hold of Usagi and began to guide her out of the port. Turning to the concerned Duo, he narrowed his eyes. "You," he said. "Take our luggage,"
Duo wanted to protest, but wisely kept his mouth closed.
.....
"How is she?" asked Catherine, concern lacing her voice. She watched Hiiro sit down in one of the many over stuffed couches.
"Asleep,"
Sally frowned. "She seemed stressed," she said, narrowing her eyes at the Perfect Soldier. "I something going on?"
'I don't know,' mused the ex-soldier. "Hn,"
"She should avoid stress," prompted the doctor, crossing her arms knowingly. "Stress can lead to miscarriages,"
"Hn,"
Quatre stared at Hiiro for a moment, worry shining in his eyes. "You're not telling us something,"
"Hn," grumbled the young man, crossing his arms in defiance.
"What's going on anyway Yui?" frowned Wufei getting the sinking feeling that their leader had been hiding something.
'That's what I like to know,' thought Hiiro, as he silently wondered what has been going through his wife's head the past weeks. "Nothing,"
Silence fell upon the group, one could hear a pin drop. And if it did, it would most likely resound throughout Quatre's mansion.
.....
Usagi stared blankly at her broach. The gold shimmered slightly as it was hit with light. Opening it carefully, the Ginzuisho gave off a faint glow.
'Something is about to happen,' mused the young woman, before snapping shut the broach. She returned the broach back into her sub-space pocket.
"I wish Luna were here," whispered Usagi, falling back down onto the bed. She stared blankly up at the white ceiling. Currently her royal advisor was at Minako's, spending her time with Artemis. "She'd know what was going on,"
Her right hand touched her forehead subconsciously, feeling the smooth skin. No crescent Moon there. Sighing softly, she wondered what the dream meant. It just constantly plagued her. It felt like it was a movie; being played over and over again in her mind.
Frowning slightly, the blonde sat up again. Why hadn't she thought about it before?
She was in Japan…
Kami, how more ditzy could she get?
Smiling brightly, she made a grab for her cell. Pressing the familiar numbers, she suppressed a giggle while waiting for the other person to pick up.
"Rei? Hi!"
