Hey everyone, I'm glad that you're enjoying my story, although the review responses for the last chapter at the moment are a little down heartening. I guess I'll just have to find something to make you guys review. Well, at the moment, we are voting on who Usagi-chan's three guards are going to be.
Remember that whoever is not Usagi's guard will still be on the job guarding Relena. I mean, they can't just leave her without a guard.
The votes stand as such:
Hiiro-Duo-Wufei ~ 1
Hiiro-Duo-Quatre ~ 0
Hiiro-Duo-Trowa ~ 1
Hiiro-Wufei-Quatre ~ 0
Hiiro-Wufei-Trowa ~ 0
Hiiro-Quatre-Trowa ~ 0
Now, this voting will NOT last any longer than beyond this chapter because Usagi will find out about it in the beginning of the next chapter.
I know that those of you who reviewed are just waiting on me to get to the greetings, so I guess that I'll go ahead and give in.
~*~ Setsuna, Megami of Time ~*~ You are such a FAITHFUL reviewer, I'm so happy that I have one! I'm sorry to leave you with such a hanging ending, cuz I know that your waiting on Setsuna's and Trowa's first meeting, or is it the first? Hmm, I wonder? Well, I guess that you'll just have to read this chapter to find out. Also, thank you for voting. Although, I'm not sure if I'm going to put Duo as one of her guards, I might if this ends up becoming a Silver Millennium fic, but I'm not sure if it will. Well, keep up the reviewing, and I will do my best to keep the chapters coming on Fridays like I have been trying to do, although next time I may post at midnight just to make sure that it gets top spot!
~*~ Hitokiri-Tenshi Kenshin's Grl ~*~ Thank you for reviewing my chapter. I'm so glad that you liked it. I hope that you'll like the rest of my story as well. I do expect to keep seeing your name on the list of those who reviewed my story! Keep up the good job!
~*~ Darkness ~*~ Thank you SO much for reviewing my story. I hope to see your name appear again. Please, keep reading and reviewing! I hope that you enjoy this chapter too!
~*~ AutumnHime ~*~ That is somewhat of an old question, but it's explained in chapter three. I hope that you kept reading my story even though that didn't make sense. Keep reviewing if you did!
Come come, you guys, there aren't very many reviews on this chapter. How can you just stop reviewing? You must be out of your minds if you think that this amount of reviews will hold me over to keep going! Review some more, and give me some input!
~*~ Another Life Chapter Four ~*~
"Hello again," came a mysterious voice from behind them. All the boys turned to be greeted with the sight of none other thanSetsuna Meioh.
Some of them recognized her immediately while others did not. Duo ran up to her grinning, and pulled a pad out of nowhere, "Can I have your autograph?"
The entire group sweat dropped at what he was doing, but Setsuna just smiled and said, "Yes, who am I signing this too?"
Duo, who was still grinning, said, "Duo Maxwell!"
When she was finished writing, she handed him the paper and pen back. Walking past him, she sat down at a free spot on the bench. This actually placed her between Trowa and Usagi.
"Well," Michiru said while secretly grinning towards her fiancé, "since our last guest has arrived, let's eat!"
They all took a seat, whether it was at the table or on the ground, and began to eat the sandwiches that Hotaru passed around to everyone.
Sitting at the corner of the table was Trowa, and beside him sat Setsuna. Usagi was next followed by Duo. Across from Duo was Hotaru, who was doing everything in her power to make Hiiro talk, and beside Hiiro sat Haruka and Michiru. On the ground, Minako, Wufei and Quatre sat to one side talking, or more like Minako and Wufei were arguing, and Quatre was trying to break them up.
Friendly conversation sprang up between those who were willing to talk, and the afternoon seemed to be moving at a slow pace.
Eventually, all of the food was consumed, and certain members of the group started to become "BORED." Usagi screeched, "it's so boring, we have to find something better to do!"
"I so agree with you, Usagi-chan!" Minako said. She gave Usagi a pat on the back as she walked behind her friend.
Usagi, who had been desperately trying to act like she was completely ok with the group that had joined them, finally broke. 'I have to get away from them,' was the only thought or goal in her mind. If she could talk them into doing something, then she knew that she would be able to sneak away from all of these people who were determined to protect her. She never could tolerate people acting as her bodyguards. On the moon, she had discreetly disposed of all of her bodyguards, and that's why the senshi came to the moon to finish their training. Her mother figured that if she were a friend of her bodyguards, she wouldn't try to get rid of them. Well, that didn't work either. She remembered all of those times that she had sneaked down to Earth without the foreknowledge of her friends. She also remembered feeling like she was trapped, and that's what had led to her sneaking down to Earth. Now, she felt that same trapped feeling again. She couldn't stand it. It was like being in a gilded cage.
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. Her mind smirked at what her friends would do after they found her gone, but outside, she just jumped up from her spot on the table and said, "I've got the PERFECT idea!"
Minako smiled, knowing her friend would come up with something, "What's your idea?"
Usagi smiled brighter, "Let's play another game of Frisbee! Haruka made us stop our last one with that bad throw of hers, so let's try again! This time, however, the boys can join in along with Michiru and Hotaru!"
Duo grinned, "That's a GREAT idea, Usagi-chan!" Immediately, he looked to his friends for some kind of confirmation. The only positive one that he received, however, was from Quatre. "Ah! Come on you three! You guys are such spoilsports! Lighten up, let's go have some fun!" Duo smiled, knowing how he would get those three, "I mean, if we're going to go over to that field, where it's so out of site, Relena might not like it that much!"
Wufei groaned and the other two just nodded. All five knew that if Usagi were to be out of their sights for even a minute, Relena would have a fit. The whole group cleaned up the mess, and then headed over the field in the distance.
Picking different spots on 'The Field of Battle' as Usagi, Minako, and Duo named it, the group split. They picked places about thirty feet apart in a large circle. Usagi picked the spot closest to the trees. All she would need were for them to stop throwing her the disc, and thinking of the last time that they had actually finished a game, she knew what to do.
When she got the disc for the first time, she threw it in a circle that it went up and down and around, nearly hitting everyone at least one time, and some two. When it finally landed, Minako stormed up to her friend; (she was the nearest person to her). "Usagi," she started angrily, "didn't we make an agreement that move would be a ten turn discipline!"
Usagi looked shocked, and then pretended to remember, doing it quiet well I might add, and said, "Oh! I forgot, man! I really wanted to try some new moves."
Minako looked horrified. The last time that she 'tried new moves' everyone went home with bruises and scratches all over them, and one or two with a broken hand or rib. "Usagi! You're out for ten turns!"
Usagi pretended to pout, and took the 'out' position that they had agreed upon. Basically, it was sitting Indian style in the spot that you were playing in until it was your turn again.
Minako went back to the game, and they continued playing. When her out time was finally up, Quatre was the one who was supposed to throw the first one back to her, but when he went to take aim, she wasn't there. The others noticed his hesitation, and looked to where Usagi was supposed to be.
The first thing that they heard were the curses from Haruka followed by Minako, "Ah! She's done it again! Will that girl ever learn!"
Michiru and Hotaru just shook their heads, "Minako-chan, I don't think that she can learn!" Hotaru said to her friend.
Duo, who had been between Minako and Hotaru said, "What are you guys talking about, does she do this often?"
Minako, Michiru, and Hotaru all nodded their heads. Haruka went in search of the missing girl, trying to see if she had really left, or was just out of site.
The boys were all trying to think of ways to separate from the others so that they could go find her, since they were supposed to protect her, when there was an ear-shattering scream from inside the woods. All around knew that it was none other than Usagi, for only she could scream so loud.
Immediately, everyone went in search for her, following where the voice had come from.
They split into groups of two or three, Minako and Quatre, Hotaru and Wufei, Haruka and Michiru, and Hiiro, Trowa and Duo. All of them searched different areas where they could be.
Hiiro, Trowa, and Duo all split again to search their area better. Hiiro was to search over by the riverbed, Trowa the left woods, and Duo the right woods. When Hiiro was searching the river, he came across something odd, a small puddle of blood. It appeared to have been smeared by someone stepping in it, and the footprint went east. He followed in that direction silently until he heard whimpers in a bush.
Looking into the bush, he found none other than Usagi, who was holding a bleeding shoulder. She looked at him with pleading eyes; "Help" was the only word that escaped her mouth before she passed out.
He easily caught her falling form, and careful not to upset the wound further, picked her up princess style. Immediately, he carried her back to the others.
Usagi awoke to a horrible headache, and the worst ache she could imagine on her left shoulder. She groaned and said to no one, "What happened?"
She didn't expect to be answered, especially by a furious sister, "You left the group and were attacked."
Usagi looked over to her sister in this life startled, "Relena!"
Relena's features spoke pure disappointed rage, "Usagi-chan! How could you do something so STUPID? I swear that if you ever do anything like that again, I'm going to put you under lock and key!"
Usagi was too shocked to really process what happened, but then it seemed as if a floodgate opened, and everything came rushing back to her. She placed her right hand on her forehead and groaned. "Ah! How long have I been out?"
Relena shook her head and said, "About a day and a half. I think that you managed to scare your friends real good!"
Usagi gasped, and then groaned again, "Did any of them seem especially irritated?"
Relena thought back to her conversation with Usagi's friends, "Well, that boy, Haruka is it? Well, he seemed like he was going to murder someone."
Usagi groaned again. She knew that she was going to be in big trouble.
"Usagi-chan," Relena started in a gentler voice.
"Yes," Usagi said knowing by the tone of voice that she wasn't going to like the news that her sister was about to deliver.
"Usagi, I've had no choice in this matterI just want you to know that I didn't want to do this Please, Usagi, keep that in mind" Relena stuttered with her words. She had to find a way to break the news to her without her sister freaking out.
"Just spit it out, Relena!" Usagi said exasperated.
"Well" Relena said. 'I might as well just say it,' ran through her mind, "I've had to get you three bodyguards." Relena winced and awaited the explosion.
"WHAT!?" Usagi screamed.

The couples are voted for, and here are the complete results.
Usagi/Hiiro
Minako/Quatre
