Odango walks to her seat with a silly grin on her face: Er.... hey minna... hehehehe
Pyro: Nani? Where were you? And why do you have that grin on your face?
Odango: Nowhere you need to worry your head off and as for the grin... I just thought of something for the next chapter, that's all
Pyro: Tell me!
Odango: Uh uh. It's a surprise for minna. *Pyro pouts. Odango clears her throat* We do have a guest however
*Mirai Trunks walks through the door. Pyro's eyes widen before she blushes and looks the other way. Odango smirks*
Odango: Ohayo Mirai-kun. Nice of you to drop by
Mirai: No problem
Pyro: Aren't you suppose to be in the fic?
Mirai: I'm not in this one
Odango: Oh yes you are mister *pokes him in the chest. Mirai smirks down at her. Pyro glares at Odango*
Mirai: Did you have fun last night Odango? *Pyro looks confused. Odango eyes widen as she grins*
Odango: Did I! Twelve times. Twelve times Mirai! I thought I was gonna pass out by the seventh one! *Mirai chuckles*
Mirai: I think you should start the fic Odango
Odango: Me too *Mirai and Odango grin at each other much to Pyro's annoyance*
Pyro: *through clenched teeth* Then lets get on with the fic Odango!
Odango: Whatever you want Pyro. See you later Mirai *Mirai grins before disappearing*
Pyro: That guy is HOT!!!
Odango: Couldn't agree more
Pyro: Ano...what were you and Mirai-kun talking about?
Odango grins: I'll tell you at the end of the chapter
Pyro: You better
Odango: I will. And now Chapter 24
Odango and Pyro: ENJOY!!
Chapter 23
Usagi sighed as she waited for Rei and Hotaru to finish raiding her closet. Both of the girls had forbade her and Gohan from seeing each other until tonight. The couldn't even talk through their link. 'Those two together are down right scary!' she thought as they pulled out another dress before tossing it to the huge pile on the floor. She rolled her eyes. 'They better clean this up cause I know I ain't.'
"Uh! Usa! You have nothing good to wear tonight!" Rei said as she sat down on the floor looking through the piles of clothes. Hotaru sat across from her.
"Maybe if we mis-match a few things" Hotaru mumbled more to herself then anyone.
"Maybe" Rei agreed. Usagi sighed again.
"Guys, it's only a dance! Come on, how hard can it be to pick out an outfit meant for dancing?" Usagi jumped back from the twin glares she received from her two friends. "Look if it makes you happy then we can..... go to the mall" Usagi said quietly. She covered her ears when the girl's eyes sparkled.
"LETS GO!!" the two shouted standing up and began to drag Usagi out the door.
"Hey! Clean my room!" Usagi shouted before she was forced out of the house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Four hours, ten bags of shoes and thirty bags of clothes later.....
Usagi, Rei and Hotaru threw all the bags on the floor and collapsed on the bed.
"I am never going to go shopping with you two again!" Usagi said taking her shoes off.
"Sure neechan, whatever you say" Hotaru said stifling a yawn. Usagi shook her head smiling then stifled her gasp as she was hit with an image...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The two bodies moved faster against the other. Mouths crushed together, hands exploring, and the sound of flesh hitting flesh. Usagi threw her head back as a moan escaped her lips, her legs tightening around Gohan's hips urging him to move faster. Gohan groaned. He clasped her knee in one hand and shoved it up near her shoulder. He rode upward and thrust harder and faster until a bright searing fire consumed her.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Usagi sat up gasping for breath. Rei and Hotaru were incitingly by her side.
"Nani? What happened Usa?" Rei asked. Usagi took deep breaths to try and calm her nerves down.
"I.. I just... I just saw something. That's all" she said.
"Nani?" Hotaru asked concerned.
"Nothing big imouto. Just.... what if Videl actually looks better then me?" Usagi asked worriedly. The three gazed at each other until they broke into helpless laughter.
"Neechan... you're no competition when is comes to out doing someone" Hotaru said giggling.
"Besides with the things we've bought, you're sure to blow her and everyone else away" Rei said with a small giggle.
"Especially Gohan" Hotaru said slyly. Usagi grinned.
"I hope so" she said. She looked at the clock on her dresser. "Guys, we've got four hours to do whatever before we have to get ready."
"What should we do?" Hotaru asked.
"We could sleep" Rei mumbled half asleep. Usagi and Hotaru giggled.
"Or we could spar?" Hotaru and Rei look at each other then at Usagi.
"LET'S DO IT!!!" all three shout and run out of the room laughing.
*~* OUTSIDE *~*
"Alright, transform and lets see what you've got" Usagi said grinning. 'Time for some payback.'
Hotaru and Rei each took out their henshin wands.
"MARS CRYSTAL POWER!"
"SATURN CRYSTAL POWER!"
"ETERNAL MOON POWER!"
"MAKE UP!!!" all three cried out.
In a flash of red, pink and purple (ribbons, fire and death included (Pyro snickers)), Super Sailor Mars, Saturn and Eternal Sailor Moon stood facing each other. ESM smirked at her two senshi.
"Show me what you got and NO holding back." Saturn smirked.
"You are so going to regret that neechan. SILENT GLAIVE SURPRIE!" Saturn said sending her attack at ESM.
ESM whipped out her tier and blocked the blast. (Pyro: Where the heck did that come from?! She pulled it out of nowhere! Hmm.... I wonder if she's related to Hiiro....) (Odango: ^__^;;)
Saturn growled and nodded at Mars. "SILENT GLAIVE SURPRISE!!"
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!!!"
"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THEROPY KISS!"
The three attacks canceled each other out and created a big explosion. When the dust cleared Mars and Saturn were a bit surprised to see ESM flying in the air tossing a ball of lightning in her hand.
"Saa... that was good. Now try this! THUNDER CRASH!" ESM Said throwing the lightning ball. Saturn held up her glaive.
"SILENT WALL!" A invisible wall of purple surrounded Mars and Saturn from the attack. (Pyro blinks: If its invisible then why is it purple?) (Odango: ^_^;;)
ESM smirked down at them as the shield disappeared. She laughed. "Nice save Saturn. Try this one. CRESENT BEAM SMASH!" ESM held her two hands together in a gun like fashion and a golden light of energy came out of her tips and hit the ground in front of Mars and Saturn. She started to shoot random areas around the girls making it seem like she WAS aiming for them.
"Where the heck did she learn that?!" Mars asked Saturn as they continuously dodged the attacks.
"Just recently we discovered that she could use all of the senshi attacks including mine" Saturn said rolling away from one of the beams.
"But why?" Mars back flipped out of another beam.
"We don't know. We just know that she now has the ability to use all of the attacks and maybe more" Saturn said dodging.
Mars was thinking quickly. 'If she knows our attacks then that means she stands a chance against them!" "MARS FLAME SNIPER!!" She sent her attack at her leader.
"NEPTUNE DEEP SUBMERGE!" The two attacks canceled each other out. ESM flew down towards them. "Is that all you got?" Mars frowned.
"No way Sailor Moon. Try this! MARS EXTREME FIRE CANON!" Mars shouted sending a blinding column of fire at ESM.
ESM frowned as the attack neared her. 'This one is stronger and my bet is she can control the movement. Oh well!' "AQUA RHASPODY!" Once again the two attacks canceled each other out.
Mars looked long and hard at her leader. Then she sighed. "We get the point Sailor Moon. Now why not show us hand-to-hand fighting?" ESM landed next to her senshi.
"Thought you never asked!" she grinned at them. The next four hours were spent on sparring, magic and plain old catching up...um... while fighting. Soon it was time for them to get ready.
~*~ Usagi's Room ~*~
Usagi had just got out of the shower and was now sitting on her bed in her robe as Hotaru brushed her hair. Rei was now in the shower.
"Saa Hota.... I don't know about tonight" Usagi said trying to make conversation.
"What's wrong?" Hotaru asked as she separated some hair.
"I don't know. I can't really explain it. I just know something is going to happen" Usagi said getting lost in thought.
"Good or bad?"
"Both."
"Maybe the senshi are going to show up at the club" Hotaru suggested.
"I've thought about that" Usagi said.
"And maybe something will happen between you and Gohan too." Usagi turned and looked at Hotaru.
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked. Hotaru just smiled and shrugged.
"Call it a gut feeling. A lot will happen tonight and I've got a feeling that the final battle is near too." Hotaru and Usagi remained quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.
"Then I guess we just have to train harder ne?" a voice in the doorway said causing Hotaru and Usagi to look up.
Rei smiled as she walked over to the two. "Guys, I won't lie to you. The senshi are strong and Endymion is stronger. Usa, you'll be defenseless once you go to his turf but you will still have a chance and an advantage." Usagi smiled at her.
"Thanks Rei. I needed that... I think." The girls giggled.
"Well you two better get ready cause Gohan and Mirai-kun will be here in..." Hotaru looked at a clock. "Less then an hour." Usagi and Rei looked at each other.
"LESS THEN AN HOUR?! AHHHHH!!!" Usagi and Rei shouted as they ran around the room looking for what they were going to where tonight leaving Hotaru to clutch her sides as she laughed.
~*~ An Hour Later~*~
Gohan and Mirai landed in front of Usagi's house five minutes before eight. Just as Gohan was about to knock, Mirai stopped him.
"Nani?" Gohan asked his friend. Mirai fidgeted. (Pyro: KAWAII!) (Odango rolls her eyes)
"I don't know man. Maybe this was a bad idea" Mirai said.
"Dude Usa and I thought that you should get out more and enjoy yourself." 'Along with Rei' Gohan silently thought.
"Yeah demo..." Mirai trailed off uncertainly. Gohan sighed.
"Mirai, I know this is still new to you but you need to relax once in a while. Enjoy life to its fullest and..."
"And?" Mirai asked curiously. Gohan smirked.
"And make a move on Rei." That sent Gohan laughing at a very red Mirai.
"I..I don't know what you're talking about" Mirai stuttered. Gohan shook his head smiling.
"Man is obvious to everyone but you and Rei. You both like each other but won't say anything. So Usa and I decided to try and 'hook' you both up together... if you want to." Gohan watched in amusement as emotions played across Mirai's face. 'Forgive me my friend.' "Doesn't matter really Mirai. She's pretty and all and I bet she'd have all the guys over her in a minute." That did it.
Mirai's eyes flashed turquoise for a brief second and his fist clenched and unclenched every so often. Gohan was wondering if teasing his friend was such a good idea.
"If anyone touches her, I'll kill them" Mirai said in a deadly calm voice. Gohan blinked.
'Okay now I know never to tease him again.' "Mirai, Rei won't let anyone touch her. Her eyes are set on you" Gohan said trying to bring his friend out of his killing mood. He suddenly regretted teasing him when he saw the familiar smirk on Mirai's face. (Odango: He means the Veggie smirk)
"Good" was all he said. Gohan rolled his eyes and turned to door where he knocked. The door opened revealing a smiling Luna.
"Konban wa Gohan, Mirai. Come in, come in" Luna said stepping back to let the two in.
"Arigato" Gohan and Mirai said. Luna looked the boys up and down.
"Well you two look handsome." She giggled at their blushes. "Why don't you two wait in the living room and I'll go see if the girls are ready." The two boys nodded and left. Luna smiled to herself. 'I hope nothing goes wrong tonight.' She turned to walk up the stairs to get her daughter and friend.
~*~ Usagi's Room~*~
Usagi was putting the finishing touches on her make up. Hotaru was helping Rei curl her long black hair. She sighed and turned to gaze out at the window.
It was a full moon tonight and Usagi smiled as she felt the Moon give her its energy as well as something else she couldn't quite place. Whatever it was it both scared and excited her. Her tail swayed gently behind her as she closed her eyes in bliss.
"Off in your own world again imouto?" a deep voice asked chuckling. Usagi opened her eyes and turned around.
"Hai. What's up niichan?" Usagi asked looking at her brother who was leaning against the doorframe. It wasn't everyday that Vegeta caught her daydreaming. Most of the time anyway.
"Just came to check up on you." Usagi rose an eyebrow.
"That's all?" Vegeta was quiet for a minute before he pushed himself up and walked over to the bed. He sat down and patted the space next to him. Usagi stood up and sat next to her brother. This had to be serious if he wanted to talk. She looked at him curiously. (Odango: OOC time)
"Imouto..... the others and I were thinking while you were at school yesterday and we came to a decision. We think it's best if you and the brat train in the Room of Time and Spirit to get control of your powers and go to the next level." Usagi blinked at him.
"Why?"
"Your new power leaves you both weak and exhausted and that makes you vulnerable" Vegeta said. Usagi agreed to herself that he had a point but....
"Niichan, I don't have time to train like we use to. I barely manage a spar once in a while" Usagi said. Vegeta frowned.
"You'll only be gone a day."
"And how much training can I get then?" Usagi asked skeptically. Vegeta smirked.
"A year's worth." Usagi gave him a blank look. "A day out here equals a year in there. You'll be training non-stop if you can and by the time you get out you and the brat should have gone to the next level." Vegeta watched his sister's face as emotions played across it.
Usagi thought long and hard about this. She for one thought it was a good idea and a good way to gain control of her growing powers. But who would train them? She voiced her question to her brother.
"I wanted to train you but Luna said I'd go too soft on you. None of us are a match for either of you except two: Mirai and Rei. Rei only because she knows somewhat of what to expect" Vegeta said. Usagi frowned a bit.
"Do they know?" she asked. Vegeta nodded. "Does Gohan know about this?"
"Kakorotto told him." Usagi nodded.
"Okay I guess. When are we suppose to go?" Usagi asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon. Kakorotto made sure that it was ready and everything." Usagi smiled.
"Arigato niichan" she whispered before she hugged him. As his arms came around her to return the hug, she once again got the feeling of forbidden ness. She unconsciously hugged him tighter.
Vegeta knew his sister was troubled about something but didn't know what. He knew for a fact that she was going to train not for herself or Gohan's but for her senshi. 'She never could stay mad very long.' He silently chuckled. His eyes roamed to the window and he inwardly smirked. 'The Moon must have done its job since her tail was dancing.' He pulled back and looked at his sister.
"Do me one favor imouto" he said as they locked eyes.
"Anything" Usagi said.
"Use your crystal to protect yourself." Usagi looked at him.
"Nani? Protect me from what?" she asked confused.
"Just ask it to grant my wish. It'll know what I mean" Vegeta said. Usagi shrugged and closed her eyes.
Her locket started to glow a faint pink. The crystal appeared in front of Usagi and flashed once before sinking into her chest causing her whole body to glow a faint silvery pink.
A black choker type necklace appeared on her neck. In the center was a crystal crescent moon and tiny diamonds going around the choker. Small diamond earrings with dangling crystal crescents appeared on her ears. Usagi sighed as she opened her eyes.
"Wish granted niichan" she said with a smile. Vegeta smirked.
"Good." 'At least she won't be pregnant yet' Vegeta thought with a small chuckle. He stood up and began to walk to the door. Luna walked in and smiled at him. He just smirked nodding before he left.
"Usa, Gohan and Mirai are he-.... Oh Usagi. You look wonderful" Luna said as she gazed at her daughter. Usagi blushed.
"Arigato kaasan. Rei-chan! Gohan and Mirai are here! Lets go!" Usagi said. She stood up and looked herself over once more making sure everything was okay.
"Hai Usa-chan. I'm ready!" Rei said as she walked back into the room. Her hair was curled and framed around her face giving it an even more exotic look. She smiled at her best friend.
"Lets go knock them off their feet!" Usagi laughed.
"Hai, lets" she said. Luna let the two girls pass and smiled at them. 'I hope they have fun tonight. Dende knows when the next time will be.' She followed the two down stairs.
~*~ Living Room~*~
"Awe what's wrong Mirai?" Bulma asked her son. Mirai had been fidgeting since he stepped into the room.
"He's nervous" Gohan said from his spot by the window. He had the sudden urge (Odango covers Pyro's mouth before she could say anything. Pyro pouts) to gaze out at the full moon. Once he caught sight of the blinding whiteness, he couldn't take his off of it. 'Wow.' He also felt power pour into him causing his tail to sway excitedly behind him. This startled him.
'Wha...what's this feeling? It's incredible! Demo... why am I afraid?' Gohan pondered these things unaware of a certain Saiyan Prince's gaze on him.
'Now the first part is done. He has his full saiyan side now. It's only a matter of time.' Vegeta never would say it aloud but he was proud to call Gohan family. Sure he disliked the boy's father but he did care for the boy. He watched out for him when Freeza was searching for the Dragon Balls on Namek. Sure he was rough but that's all he knew at the time. He was damn proud of Gohan.
"If it's not one brat daydreaming it's the other" Vegeta said snapping Gohan out of his trance like state.
"Huh?" Gohan asked confused. Vegeta snorted.
"Caught my sister doing the same thing as you brat."
"Oh."
"Honestly niichan, can't you even be a little bit nice to my koi?" a voice behind Vegeta asked. Vegeta smirked.
"Now while he's alive." He got smacked on the head for that. Bulma giggled.
"You deserved that you know" she said as he sulked over to her.
"Humph!" Vegeta said crossing his arms over his chest. Gohan smiled.
"You and Rei ready Usa?" Gohan asked as Usagi walked up to him.
She wore a metallic gray dress that stopped at mid thigh with thin spaghetti straps. The dress flared slightly at her hips to make it easier to move around. She wore the same boots as last time and she had a black choker on. Twin black chop sticks with diamonds on it held her hair up in a tight bun. (Pyro: Gomen if they have a name demo we don't know it.) A shimmering gray eye shadow and black eyeliner adorned her eyes. Her pink lips had the same clear gloss and wore diamond earrings.
Gohan smiled at Usagi. "You look great koi." He chuckled when she blushed.
"Arigato. You don't look so bad yourself" Usagi said looking her soul mate up and down.
Gohan wore loose gray pants held up with a black belt, black Lugz, a tight black shirt and spiked his hair. If her family wasn't here Usagi would have drooled. (Odango: Heh) She smiled at him.
"Wow" two voices said behind the couple. Usagi and Gohan turned to see Mirai and Rei looking at each other.
Rei wore a simple no sleeves red Chinese style dress that had slits on both sides that stopped about mid-thigh. A white floral with dark green leaves danced around the entire dress. Long stringy beaded earrings adorned her ears, a deep red lipstick graced her lips, red eye shadow touched her eyes, a simple white lily clip held her long curly black hair back and she wore clear one-inch sandals.
Mirai looked dressed to kill! He wore loose black pants, a tight blue muscle shirt with a black vest over it, black boots and a black leather jacket that stopped a few inches above his knees. His ear-length lavender hair was still the same adding to his already gorgeous charm. (Pyro: I'll say!)
Gohan and Usagi smirked at each other. "De ja vu!" The couple laughed catching their friend's attention.
"I think we should be going before Videl decides to tell minna I chickened out." Usagi's eyes flashed silver for a brief second.
"Koi, we still have plenty of time to get to the club... if we leave now" Gohan said trying to calm his girlfriend down. He knew her pride would get her in trouble tonight if he wasn't careful.
"Don't forget your jackets!" Luna told the girls as the four were walking to the door.
"Hai kaasan!" Usagi chirped as Gohan helped her into her new leather jacket. Mirai helped Rei with her shawl.
"Pst! Usa!" Rei said getting the other girls attention. Rei looked back at the Saiyan raising an eyebrow. Usagi got the hint.
"Oh! Um... kaasan, tousan.... would it be alright we came home late again?" When he parents gave her a questioning look, she continued. "Nick invited up to his house after the club. He said his parents said it was okay for him to invite his friends as long as we don't have a party. I promise to call once we get there" Usagi pleaded with her parents. She even made her eyes bigger and waterier as well as quiver her bottom lip for effect.
'Damn' Luna and Artemis thought with a sigh.
"Hai you four can go" Artemis said.
"Demo make sure you call Usagi or else" Luna said her eyes flashing. Usagi nodded not wanting to face her mother's wrath again.
"JA!" the four said as they walked out the door leaving Luna, Bulma, Artemis and Vegeta to stare at one another. Vegeta decided to break the silence.
"It has begun."
Odango: There you go peeps! Another chapter!
Pyro: Alright Odango now tell me what you and Mirai-kun were talking about!
Odango:.... fancy that. I forgot ^^;;
Pyro: ODANGO!!! *Mirai and Heero pop in* Nani? Mirai-kun? Heero? What are you *looks at Mirai* doing back here and what are you *looks at Heero* doing here?
Heero: I came to pick Odango up. We have some unfinished business *smirks at a fidgeting Odango*
Pyro: Eh? What he talking about Odango?
Odango: Hehehehe! ^^;; Um.. about that...
Mirai: She didn't tell you did she? *Pyro shook her head* Odango and Heero were at Six Flags
Pyro:..... And? What's the big deal? What was the twelve times thing? *Mirai smirks*
Mirai: Log Jammer *Pyro has a blank look on her face until..*
Pyro: OMG!!! *looks at a blushing Heero and Odango* WAY TO GO ODANGO!! PLAY WITH YOUR MAN!!

Pyro: Kawa... *Mirai and Odango sweat drop*
Odango, Pyro and Mirai: JA!

"Maybe the senshi are going to show up at the club" Hotaru suggested.
"I've thought about that" Usagi said.
"And maybe something will happen between you and Gohan too." Usagi turned and looked at Hotaru.
"What do you mean?" Usagi asked. Hotaru just smiled and shrugged.
"Call it a gut feeling. A lot will happen tonight and I've got a feeling that the final battle is near too." Hotaru and Usagi remained quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.
"Then I guess we just have to train harder ne?" a voice in the doorway said causing Hotaru and Usagi to look up.
Rei smiled as she walked over to the two. "Guys, I won't lie to you. The senshi are strong and Endymion is stronger. Usa, you'll be defenseless once you go to his turf but you will still have a chance and an advantage." Usagi smiled at her.
"Thanks Rei. I needed that... I think." The girls giggled.
"Well you two better get ready cause Gohan and Mirai-kun will be here in..." Hotaru looked at a clock. "Less then an hour." Usagi and Rei looked at each other.
"LESS THEN AN HOUR?! AHHHHH!!!" Usagi and Rei shouted as they ran around the room looking for what they were going to where tonight leaving Hotaru to clutch her sides as she laughed.
~*~ An Hour Later~*~
Gohan and Mirai landed in front of Usagi's house five minutes before eight. Just as Gohan was about to knock, Mirai stopped him.
"Nani?" Gohan asked his friend. Mirai fidgeted. (Pyro: KAWAII!) (Odango rolls her eyes)
"I don't know man. Maybe this was a bad idea" Mirai said.
"Dude Usa and I thought that you should get out more and enjoy yourself." 'Along with Rei' Gohan silently thought.
"Yeah demo..." Mirai trailed off uncertainly. Gohan sighed.
"Mirai, I know this is still new to you but you need to relax once in a while. Enjoy life to its fullest and..."
"And?" Mirai asked curiously. Gohan smirked.
"And make a move on Rei." That sent Gohan laughing at a very red Mirai.
"I..I don't know what you're talking about" Mirai stuttered. Gohan shook his head smiling.
"Man is obvious to everyone but you and Rei. You both like each other but won't say anything. So Usa and I decided to try and 'hook' you both up together... if you want to." Gohan watched in amusement as emotions played across Mirai's face. 'Forgive me my friend.' "Doesn't matter really Mirai. She's pretty and all and I bet she'd have all the guys over her in a minute." That did it.
Mirai's eyes flashed turquoise for a brief second and his fist clenched and unclenched every so often. Gohan was wondering if teasing his friend was such a good idea.
"If anyone touches her, I'll kill them" Mirai said in a deadly calm voice. Gohan blinked.
'Okay now I know never to tease him again.' "Mirai, Rei won't let anyone touch her. Her eyes are set on you" Gohan said trying to bring his friend out of his killing mood. He suddenly regretted teasing him when he saw the familiar smirk on Mirai's face. (Odango: He means the Veggie smirk)
"Good" was all he said. Gohan rolled his eyes and turned to door where he knocked. The door opened revealing a smiling Luna.
"Konban wa Gohan, Mirai. Come in, come in" Luna said stepping back to let the two in.
"Arigato" Gohan and Mirai said. Luna looked the boys up and down.
"Well you two look handsome." She giggled at their blushes. "Why don't you two wait in the living room and I'll go see if the girls are ready." The two boys nodded and left. Luna smiled to herself. 'I hope nothing goes wrong tonight.' She turned to walk up the stairs to get her daughter and friend.
~*~ Usagi's Room~*~
Usagi was putting the finishing touches on her make up. Hotaru was helping Rei curl her long black hair. She sighed and turned to gaze out at the window.
It was a full moon tonight and Usagi smiled as she felt the Moon give her its energy as well as something else she couldn't quite place. Whatever it was it both scared and excited her. Her tail swayed gently behind her as she closed her eyes in bliss.
"Off in your own world again imouto?" a deep voice asked chuckling. Usagi opened her eyes and turned around.
"Hai. What's up niichan?" Usagi asked looking at her brother who was leaning against the doorframe. It wasn't everyday that Vegeta caught her daydreaming. Most of the time anyway.
"Just came to check up on you." Usagi rose an eyebrow.
"That's all?" Vegeta was quiet for a minute before he pushed himself up and walked over to the bed. He sat down and patted the space next to him. Usagi stood up and sat next to her brother. This had to be serious if he wanted to talk. She looked at him curiously. (Odango: OOC time)
"Imouto..... the others and I were thinking while you were at school yesterday and we came to a decision. We think it's best if you and the brat train in the Room of Time and Spirit to get control of your powers and go to the next level." Usagi blinked at him.
"Why?"
"Your new power leaves you both weak and exhausted and that makes you vulnerable" Vegeta said. Usagi agreed to herself that he had a point but....
"Niichan, I don't have time to train like we use to. I barely manage a spar once in a while" Usagi said. Vegeta frowned.
"You'll only be gone a day."
"And how much training can I get then?" Usagi asked skeptically. Vegeta smirked.
"A year's worth." Usagi gave him a blank look. "A day out here equals a year in there. You'll be training non-stop if you can and by the time you get out you and the brat should have gone to the next level." Vegeta watched his sister's face as emotions played across it.
Usagi thought long and hard about this. She for one thought it was a good idea and a good way to gain control of her growing powers. But who would train them? She voiced her question to her brother.
"I wanted to train you but Luna said I'd go too soft on you. None of us are a match for either of you except two: Mirai and Rei. Rei only because she knows somewhat of what to expect" Vegeta said. Usagi frowned a bit.
"Do they know?" she asked. Vegeta nodded. "Does Gohan know about this?"
"Kakorotto told him." Usagi nodded.
"Okay I guess. When are we suppose to go?" Usagi asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon. Kakorotto made sure that it was ready and everything." Usagi smiled.
"Arigato niichan" she whispered before she hugged him. As his arms came around her to return the hug, she once again got the feeling of forbidden ness. She unconsciously hugged him tighter.
Vegeta knew his sister was troubled about something but didn't know what. He knew for a fact that she was going to train not for herself or Gohan's but for her senshi. 'She never could stay mad very long.' He silently chuckled. His eyes roamed to the window and he inwardly smirked. 'The Moon must have done its job since her tail was dancing.' He pulled back and looked at his sister.
"Do me one favor imouto" he said as they locked eyes.
"Anything" Usagi said.
"Use your crystal to protect yourself." Usagi looked at him.
"Nani? Protect me from what?" she asked confused.
"Just ask it to grant my wish. It'll know what I mean" Vegeta said. Usagi shrugged and closed her eyes.
Her locket started to glow a faint pink. The crystal appeared in front of Usagi and flashed once before sinking into her chest causing her whole body to glow a faint silvery pink.
A black choker type necklace appeared on her neck. In the center was a crystal crescent moon and tiny diamonds going around the choker. Small diamond earrings with dangling crystal crescents appeared on her ears. Usagi sighed as she opened her eyes.
"Wish granted niichan" she said with a smile. Vegeta smirked.
"Good." 'At least she won't be pregnant yet' Vegeta thought with a small chuckle. He stood up and began to walk to the door. Luna walked in and smiled at him. He just smirked nodding before he left.
"Usa, Gohan and Mirai are he-.... Oh Usagi. You look wonderful" Luna said as she gazed at her daughter. Usagi blushed.
"Arigato kaasan. Rei-chan! Gohan and Mirai are here! Lets go!" Usagi said. She stood up and looked herself over once more making sure everything was okay.
"Hai Usa-chan. I'm ready!" Rei said as she walked back into the room. Her hair was curled and framed around her face giving it an even more exotic look. She smiled at her best friend.
"Lets go knock them off their feet!" Usagi laughed.
"Hai, lets" she said. Luna let the two girls pass and smiled at them. 'I hope they have fun tonight. Dende knows when the next time will be.' She followed the two down stairs.
~*~ Living Room~*~
"Awe what's wrong Mirai?" Bulma asked her son. Mirai had been fidgeting since he stepped into the room.
"He's nervous" Gohan said from his spot by the window. He had the sudden urge (Odango covers Pyro's mouth before she could say anything. Pyro pouts) to gaze out at the full moon. Once he caught sight of the blinding whiteness, he couldn't take his off of it. 'Wow.' He also felt power pour into him causing his tail to sway excitedly behind him. This startled him.
'Wha...what's this feeling? It's incredible! Demo... why am I afraid?' Gohan pondered these things unaware of a certain Saiyan Prince's gaze on him.
'Now the first part is done. He has his full saiyan side now. It's only a matter of time.' Vegeta never would say it aloud but he was proud to call Gohan family. Sure he disliked the boy's father but he did care for the boy. He watched out for him when Freeza was searching for the Dragon Balls on Namek. Sure he was rough but that's all he knew at the time. He was damn proud of Gohan.
"If it's not one brat daydreaming it's the other" Vegeta said snapping Gohan out of his trance like state.
"Huh?" Gohan asked confused. Vegeta snorted.
"Caught my sister doing the same thing as you brat."
"Oh."
"Honestly niichan, can't you even be a little bit nice to my koi?" a voice behind Vegeta asked. Vegeta smirked.
"Now while he's alive." He got smacked on the head for that. Bulma giggled.
"You deserved that you know" she said as he sulked over to her.
"Humph!" Vegeta said crossing his arms over his chest. Gohan smiled.
"You and Rei ready Usa?" Gohan asked as Usagi walked up to him.
She wore a metallic gray dress that stopped at mid thigh with thin spaghetti straps. The dress flared slightly at her hips to make it easier to move around. She wore the same boots as last time and she had a black choker on. Twin black chop sticks with diamonds on it held her hair up in a tight bun. (Pyro: Gomen if they have a name demo we don't know it.) A shimmering gray eye shadow and black eyeliner adorned her eyes. Her pink lips had the same clear gloss and wore diamond earrings.
Gohan smiled at Usagi. "You look great koi." He chuckled when she blushed.
"Arigato. You don't look so bad yourself" Usagi said looking her soul mate up and down.
Gohan wore loose gray pants held up with a black belt, black Lugz, a tight black shirt and spiked his hair. If her family wasn't here Usagi would have drooled. (Odango: Heh) She smiled at him.
"Wow" two voices said behind the couple. Usagi and Gohan turned to see Mirai and Rei looking at each other.
Rei wore a simple no sleeves red Chinese style dress that had slits on both sides that stopped about mid-thigh. A white floral with dark green leaves danced around the entire dress. Long stringy beaded earrings adorned her ears, a deep red lipstick graced her lips, red eye shadow touched her eyes, a simple white lily clip held her long curly black hair back and she wore clear one-inch sandals.
Mirai looked dressed to kill! He wore loose black pants, a tight blue muscle shirt with a black vest over it, black boots and a black leather jacket that stopped a few inches above his knees. His ear-length lavender hair was still the same adding to his already gorgeous charm. (Pyro: I'll say!)
Gohan and Usagi smirked at each other. "De ja vu!" The couple laughed catching their friend's attention.
"I think we should be going before Videl decides to tell minna I chickened out." Usagi's eyes flashed silver for a brief second.
"Koi, we still have plenty of time to get to the club... if we leave now" Gohan said trying to calm his girlfriend down. He knew her pride would get her in trouble tonight if he wasn't careful.
"Don't forget your jackets!" Luna told the girls as the four were walking to the door.
"Hai kaasan!" Usagi chirped as Gohan helped her into her new leather jacket. Mirai helped Rei with her shawl.
"Pst! Usa!" Rei said getting the other girls attention. Rei looked back at the Saiyan raising an eyebrow. Usagi got the hint.
"Oh! Um... kaasan, tousan.... would it be alright we came home late again?" When he parents gave her a questioning look, she continued. "Nick invited up to his house after the club. He said his parents said it was okay for him to invite his friends as long as we don't have a party. I promise to call once we get there" Usagi pleaded with her parents. She even made her eyes bigger and waterier as well as quiver her bottom lip for effect.
'Damn' Luna and Artemis thought with a sigh.
"Hai you four can go" Artemis said.
"Demo make sure you call Usagi or else" Luna said her eyes flashing. Usagi nodded not wanting to face her mother's wrath again.
"JA!" the four said as they walked out the door leaving Luna, Bulma, Artemis and Vegeta to stare at one another. Vegeta decided to break the silence.
"It has begun."
Odango: There you go peeps! Another chapter!
