Usagi looked at the three boys, no men, standing beside her adopted sister. She knew that they expected something from her. If her sister had told them anything about the last time that she had received bodyguards, they probably were a little apprehensive. She grinned remembering all of the times that she had lost them by 'accident' in crowds and such. She absolutely loved antagonizing her guards it was just so much fun.
She smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you, would you mind introducing yourselves to me?" Almost wanting to grin with satisfaction of their response. Perhaps they had expected her to yell at them or to acknowledge at least that she knew them, but not to act as if this was the first meeting.
"Usagi," Duo started, "you already know who we are."
Usagi smiled at him, "I guess you're right, but if you don't want my friends to find out, then we have to act this way. They won't know who you are if I act like you're two different groups of people." Usagi knew she was lying, but she had to come up with some way to make it sound legitimate for doing this. She actually did this to take suspicion away from her friends, especially after what had happened at the park.
"Well," Duo said, "I guess that we start now?" He looked over the Relena with a questioning gaze.
Relena nodded and said, "Yes, but before you do, I would like to have a word with my sister."
Hiiro grunted, Wufei nodded, and Duo said, "Sure." The three pilots left the sisters to talk about whatever it was that they were going to discuss.
"Usagi," Relena started. She wasn't quiet sure what to tell her sister. She wanted to console her, but she didn't know how. She knew how much Usagi despised bodyguards, but it had to be done.
"Relena," Usagi said smiling at her sister, "don't worry about it. I know that it's for my safety, and I know that you mean well, so I won't hold it against you. But, how do you ever expect me to keep this from my friends."
Relena smiled and said, "Don't worry, just tell them the truth. I know that they already know the story."
A look of shock covered Usagi's face, but before she could say anything, Relena said, "Don't worry, I also know that they can be trusted. However, I don't want your bodyguards to know that they know what happened."
Usagi nodded to her sister in understanding. Her new bodyguards would consider them a possible threat and dispose of them in any way necessary. It wouldn't matter if they were told not to harm them; the boys would still do everything to eliminate them from the picture. She knew from experience that it wasn't a smart thing to let her bodyguards know that her friends knew the story. The last one that had found out had forced her to leave. She had gotten so mad that she put a sleeping drought in his drink and had him fired for sleeping on the job.
"Usagi-chan," the voice of her sister brought her out of her musings, "I'm going to leave and have your bodyguards set up watch. I know that you're not happy about this, but please, don't pull another stunt like last time."
Usagi smiled, "I won't if they don't."
"Usagi," Relena warned. Usagi just gave her a dazzling smile before her sister left the room. "I don't like the way that she smiled. She has something up her sleeve." Turning to the three boys she spoke, "I'm warning you that she has something up her sleeve. If you know what's best, you'll have someone outside of her bedroom window and someone outside of her bedroom door. I don't think that there are any other ways out."
Hiiro nodded. Turning to Wufei, he said, "Window," and then to Duo, "Door."
Duo pouted, "Ah! But Hii-man"
"Be quiet, she'll hear you," Wufei snapped at him.
Duo looked confused for a moment before he said, "Why does that matter, Wu-man? She knows that we're here."
"Grrr," Wufei tried to calm his temper down before it was too late.
Duo took the hint, and for once actually avoided a fight, "Fine, but you better get going."
Wufei turned on his heel and walked down the hall heading towards the front door. Duo grinned at his retreating friend and turned to the ever silent trigger-happy companion, "So, if I'm here and he's outside, where does that put you?"
Hiiro didn't say anything, but just turned and went to enter her room. Wanting to avoid an embarrassing situation, he knocked and waited for her permission to enter. Duo stared as his friend walked through the door. The only thought running through his head was, 'Ah man! Why does he get to be in her bedroom?'
~*~ End Chapter ~*~
I'm so sorry that this thing took so long to get out. And what's worse is that I made it so short. I'm really sorry, but what I have planned next can't go into this chapter, and I couldn't think of anything to fill it up with.
Please, forgive me for taking so long with this thing. I'm starting on another fiction that's solely Sailor Moon, but it's different. It's an Usagi/Seiya thing that I came up with from a simple question that I asked myself when I first saw Sailor Moon fifth season. What if Seiya had not been mixing up Usagi and Princess Kakyuu, and they were the same person? I will warn you, though, there is a bit of angst and absolutely no Mamoru/Endymion bashing as I've done in the past. Although I must admit, the title is slipping me at the moment.
Anyway, for those of you who asked, my finger is doing much better. The problem was a small infection between my nail and finger, which caused a lot of swelling and pain. Now, finally, I can type normal again.
WRITER'S QUESTION: I'm sorry everyone, but I am facing a bit of writer's block. If you have any suggestions on how to pair Setsuna and Trowa up without going too far out of character, I would really appreciate it. I just can't seem to come up with anything that would be good for them without taking them out of character. The best idea so far that I've had is the chronic 'matchmaker syndrome' that two certain blondes seem to have.
