Chapter 6

Usagi entered crown happier then ever. Her sister had called her the previous day and told her everything. Now only to get the support of the other girls. Kayla had requested they help her in getting lose ends tied up so she could move and be closer to Gary, although she had failed to tell anyone other than Usagi that she planed on moving in with him.

Out of the people who would disapprove the most would be Minako, the leader of the "senshi" She had been under a strong belief that Destney could, and would not change, meaning anyone other than Usagi could fall in love, and bare a child. Kayla had considered children, and from what she understood, Gary seemed to be all for the idea. Kayla had warned him, due to her heritage, most likely the first child she would give birth to would be a girl. However, she didn't have the heart to mention it could also be her only child.

"Ok Usagi-chan, why did you call us all down here?" Hino, Rei the "second in command, and Usagi's best friend asked upon seeing the girl.

Usagi looked around the room before answering the question. "ano…Rei-chan… " she began. "its about Kayla-chan. No, she is in no danger, but…she has fallen in love." The brown-haired moon bunny finished bracing herself for the blow she knew would soon fallow the statement.

"Usagi, you and I, and Kayla both know that falling in love is forbidden."" The fire senshi began. "But, I also know that no matter how much we want to fight it, its going to happen." She concluded.

"I for one am all for it, but you know how by-the-book Minako-chan is. That is why I want to help her tie up some loose ends…" Usagi began to beg hoping that Rei would go for her idea.

"I don't like deceiving Minako-chan like this, demo I can't sit back here like this and pretend that this isn't happening. " Rei agreed. "I'll help you." She confirmed before she found herself on the receiving end of one of Usagi's huge hugs.

Ami, who had been keeping out of the conversation so far, piped in with a reply of her own. "I'll help too."

"what is going to become of us if we try and rewrite fate?" Makoto, the fourth member of their group asked no one in particular as she watched Usagi bounce around the room with joy. This question however, caused her to pause and think of a reply.

"Remember, fate said that I'd never be happy, and now look at me now…" she stated sporting a promise ring that now resided on her ring finger.

Everyone in the room gasped at the sight before them. "he didn't…" Rei asked.

"Iie…not from Chiba-san…." Usagi began. "demo, a good close friend of hobson-san…" she finished.

"Hobson-san?" Rei questioned.

"Hai… Hobson-san is Kayla-chan's boyfriend. The person she has fallen for…" Usagi explained.

"wow… talk about going for it… Usagi-chan" Ami interrupted before Rei could open her mouth to speak. "Minako-chan is going to have a field day with this one."

"So is Luna-chan…" Makoto added.

Usagi had forgotten all about Luna, the cat who could turn herself human. Luna had been assigned sort of speak to watch over usagi and the other senshi and make sure they didn't stray far from their path. Now, both usagi and Kayla had turned completely in the 'wrong' direction. Luna had feared this, but the conversation thus far had confirmed her fears.

"Usagi-chan, this is not a game…" she hissed out causing the girl to flintch. She had failed to realize up until this moment that Luna had been sitting there in the center of the table. And, oh boy did she ever look angry.

"luna-chan watashi…" Usagi began but she could not find the words she wanted to say. She knew that Luna must have heard the conversation from the very start, and she didn't know how to calm her down.

"You know as well as I do that you can't have a boyfriend, nor can Kayla-chan. If this were to take place the very existence of this earth could shatter. You and Kayla are responsible for preventing such an act from occurring." Luna continued her voice rasing in pitch and volume with every word..

"Why does it have to be that way luna? Why can't we be normal… and save this planet on the side. How come its always got to be all or nothing?" Usagi began tears spilling down her face as she spoke. "why do you get to say who falls in love, and who doesn't. What makes you so all-knowing, that you have to take the one thing away that could save our planet?" she sobbed.

"On the side! ON THE SIDE!" Luna began her rage boiling. "How can you say such a comment!"

Usagi shrunk back in fear backing into a wall as luna's form changed to her more child-like human appearance the now cat-girl stalked over to the shivering girl her eyes ablaze with a hot white fire. "Every emotion you feel fuels your portaion of the silver crystal. Kayla can feel the same emotions. The pressure can cause the crystal to take over your bodies, in turn destroying the planet." Luna began hardly able to contain her rage any longer. "You are nothing but a servent to that crystal, and your senshi, only exist to make sure you don't screw up…" Luna said her hand glowing with the same white fire shooting it to Usagi's hand. The shot shattered the ring and gave the girl a third dregree burn. "I suggest you think about it…"

"That was completely uncalled for!" Makoto stated as Ami raced over to check out Usagi's hand.

Usagi winced cringing in pain. Never in her life had she been hurt this bad that she could remember. "come on Usagi-chan… you need to run cold water over that…" Ami explained as calmly and soothingly as she could manage trying to suppress the rage that came with Luna's outburst and attacking Usagi.

"I thought Luna-chan was here to protect me…" Usagi sobbed out unable to stand on her feet. Rei had to get a chair for her because the girl had been shaking way to much to stand on her own. Ami left Usagi's side only for a moment as she prepared a suitable dressing to cover the hand.

"we are going to have a bit of a problem…" Ami stated. "I can't treat usagi's burn by myself, and we are going to have to take her to the hospital…" Ami confessed.

"Demo, Nani are we going to tell them?" Makoto asked.

"I am not sure…" Ami admitted.

"Why don't we just say it was an accidentl burn from a hot object like a deep fryer?" Makoto suggested.

Even Usagi nodded in agreement at this. She hated the hospital, but she could see parts of her skin she didn't expect to see. Her finger looked like it would fall off at any moment. "I think we best hurry if we plan on getting anyplace anytime soon." She cried. She tried to forget what Luna had done and appeared to be relieved the animal or person had left.

"When we get out of here, we will pay a surprise visit to Kayla-chan." Makoto suggested. "its best if we get Usagi-chan away from here as quickly as possible."

The others nodded in agreement and took Usagi to the local Er. The doctor wanted to keep her for a few days, but Usagi refused to stay. Her parents didn't know, and she doubted she could let them find out. Knowing her mother, things would just go from bad to worse. Bad enough she'd have to approach the subject of leaving Japan for America.

Usagi didn't know, nor did she want to think about bringing up that subject. Sure if none of this had occurred, she would just teleport over there for a few hours with her friends and be home in time for dinner. However, she now would most likely be spending the night, something her mother would find difficult in approving. And, she couldn't bring up the fact she had magical power running through her vains either. Although, she had to admit she still had her hand and her finger.

"So, you never told us who you fell for…?" Rei asked trying to ease the mood somewhat.

"Fishman, Chuck…" Usagi responded a little bit listlessly. She wasn't in much of a mood to talk, nor did she want to think about what the next few conversations would bring. Naturally any teenage child avoided conversation with their parents, and often would hate it when mom or dad wanted to have a talk. In this day and age, often parents would be shocked if their teenage son or daughter asked "can I talk to you?"

After spending a few hours at the hospital, and convincing the staff not to keep Usagi over night, the four friends started for Usagi's home. Usagi knew she couldn't put off talking to her mother about this even though she did fear her mother's reaction. Taking a deep breath she walked in the house not bothering to remove her shoes, something that was expected in Japan. "mamma!" Usagi called slowly setting foot in her house.

"Hai Usagi-chan?" her mother called from in the kitchen. The smell of freashly baked goods wafted through the house causing Usagi's mouth to water.

"Mama…we have to talk…" Usagi began receiving a stunned look from her mother.

"Is this about school, if so I already know.. Usagi-chan you know…" her mother began to scold but Usagi quickly cut her off.

"iie… mama… watashi…" Usagi began starting to lose her nerve. "I have to go visit my sister, and I have to do it alone." She said quickly.

"Come on Usagi, you know you don't have a sister. I know you wish you did, but honey you don't have a sister." Her mother insisted.

"Iie, I have a sister, demo…she…isn't from this lifetime…" Usagi began.

"Now, Usagi-chan what have I told you about making up stories?" her mother softly scolded noting the other people in the room. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ground you and your friends are going to have to go home. Your too old to be pretending that you have invisible family or friends." Her mother had lost her cool and Usagi's insistence had only pushed her over the edge a little too quickly.

"I can't do that… I have to go, with or without your approval…" Usagi said calmly using all she had not to shout at her mother. Without giving her mother much room to reply, or question her about her hand, she left with Ami, Rei, and Makoto in toe. "By the way, take luna-chan to the pound!" she called over her shoulder. Usagi's mother could only gape at her daughter's retreating form and wonder what caused the sudden change in her normally well-behaved little girl. She could only remember once when Usagi had pulled this stunt, but she had returned within a few hours. All she could was hope and pray this time would turn out just like the others.

In the senshi room hidden at crown, four girls held hands. In a flash of light they vanished from the room, only to reappear on the rooftop of MCGintys. Gary had come back to the bar after running a few errands, for the bar as he liked to call them when he saw the light show. Thinking that Kayla's powers had gotten out of control, he took the fire escape stairs two at a time… what he saw shocked him to say the least. Usagi had been the first to look up and beamed when she saw him. "hobson-san!" she stated in a cheerful voice. "how is Kayla-chan?" she asked smiling brightly failing to notice she still remained transformed.

Gary rubbed his eyes a few more times trying to make since of the sight before him. "Usagi?" he asked slowly as if to confirm that this figure was in fact Tsukino, Usagi.

"She nodded. "Hai, and thease are my friends… Mizno Ami, Kino, Makoto, and Hino, Rei." She continued in broken English.

"I see chuck has been teaching you well. Even though he can't speak Japanese to save his life." Gary had to laugh at the memory of when his friend had tried in order to help him with the "paper".

"Fishman-koi has gotten much better with his Japanese since he met me." Usagi beamed. "we help each other.

The other senshi just staired dumbstruck at the conversation their princess was having. Up until this point, they could never conseve she could speak this well or with anyone.

"come on fallow me, I'll take you to where Kayla is." Gary said after overcoming his shock.

The other senshi found they really had no choice but to comply with the request. Gary led them down the fire escape a lot slower then he had come up and into the back door of the bar. A dark skinned woman stood behind the bar washing along it. "Hi Gary, how did it go?" the woman asked without bothering to look up. "Are those people friends of yours?"

"Yes Marissa, these are Kayla's sister and her friends. They came down for a visit and to help Kayla to finish moving." Gary stated finishing introductions. "Hold on, I'll go get Kayla for you…" he finished disappearing up the back stairs.

Kayla had sprolled out On Gary's bed hours ago when Gary had helped her up to his loft. The strain of taking the stairs had been hard on her knee and her back, neither liking the stairs. Now she lie on her stomach resting both. When Gary came in she didn't bother to look up. "hey, how are you?" she asked only lifting her head for a moment.

"I'm fine, he replied sitting next to her stroking hair from her face. "Your sister has arrived early, and she brought three of her friends with her." He explained.

"She what?" Kayla asked sitting up completely jarring her back in the process. Ignoring the pain she tried to stand only to find herself held back from making contact with the ground a moment later.

"Her hand seems damaged rather, badly… I could see it through her gloves…" Gary explained picking Kayla up and taking her downstairs. Sitting her on a bar stool, he lsat beside her awaiting an answer from her.

"Usagi-chan Daijobou?" Kayla asked her sister upon adjusting on the stool to face the group.

"Hai…Luna-chan just…" she began to sob running over so Kayla could hug her close like she would do when they lived on the moon.

No one said a word each trying to get over their own shock of the event in question.
