Usagi sat bored in her room. She was forbidden by the scouts to leave it and so for a few days already she was cooped up in her pretty room that had pretty much everything in it anyway. Lita even baked all her favourite goodies to pacify her, and it had for a day. She rubbed her flat stomach and smiled, good thing she had good metabolism.

Her door opened. "Usagi-chan, you can come out now!" Mina called with a big smile. "We're all meeting at Raye's room." She told him quickly and left.

"And I'm supposed to be the queen around here." She thought with a roll of her eyes and walked to her other friend's room.

Glossy pictures were scattered all over the bed and each of the scouts were poring diligently at each of the picture. Usagi caught snippets of "he's hot." And "no he's hotter" and "this one's so cute!"

"I declare this one a winner!" Mina declared picking up a picture.

"You picked that one?" Rei remarked critically.

"Well this is her contest after all." Ami pointed out. "So I think she has the right to have her own criteria for judgment."

"Thank you Ami!" Mina blew her a kiss. "Oh, hey Usagi! Look at who we picked for you." Mina giggled.

Usagi glanced at the pictures and noted, "Why are there kids among them?"

"Because you're also a kid, Odango." Raye said with a roll of her eyes.

Usagi stuck out her tongue. Raye stuck out hers too.

"Kids." The Outer Scouts thought with a sigh.

"It's okay Usagi, you know that space and time is nothing to us." Setsuna reassured her. "What's important is that they are fit enough to be your husband."

"Ok, if you say so Setsuna."

"Hmm, so what's the next test to be?" Lita pondered.

"Can I give my own test?" Usagi said speaking up as her scouts sprang one idea one after the other. They all turned to look at her. At their silence, she continued. "I think my future husband should be a good kisser." She said with emphasis on the my.

"Hey, that's not a bad idea Usagi!" Mina said with a clap.

"If the queen says that's the next test then…" Setsuna began.

"No!" Haruka argued standing up. "They're not going to touch our little Usa-chan, much less see her. It's still too soon."

"Let's have another test first, before they can meet Usagi." Michiru said.

"But I want to meet them now! I don't want to stay locked up in my room again." Usagi pouted. "Please Setsuna?" Usagi asked turning towards the eldest scout in the group.

Setsuna nodded. "I think the kissing part will have to wait though."

Usagi nodded. "okay."


They were all gathered at the breakfast table. Gon was not his usual bright self from the lack of sleep due to last night's events. Killua was cranky. Naruto was snoring at the table. Sasuke was sitting with eyes closed. Roy was yawning every now and then. Yuki and Yuuhi were quietly talking and Sesshoumaru and Hotohoti were sitting still, though they both felt an immense source of power nearby.

"Good morning everyone! I trust that you enjoyed last night's test?" Mina asked brightly.

They all glowered at her.

Mina chuckled. "Well that winner for that photo shoot was Hotohori of course." Mina winked at him. "but this morning, we have a special event up." She announced. The door opened, and all of the scouts they had met were there and then some. They all made a some sort of protective shield around the one in the center.

"Kawaii!" Gon said in all honesty. The beautiful woman gave him a smile.

"Hello, I'm Usagi." She said looking at each one of them. She was dressed in a simple, sleeveless pink sundress, with a moon silver pendant on a silver chain around her neck.

"I'm going to be conducting the next test." She told them.

Each one of them had different reactions.

"My test is very simple." She threw something in the air. "First one to get it wins!" She declared cheekily, ignoring the horrified look of her scouts/guardians.

"That was it." Sesshoumaru thought with a start, gazing at the object with full interest.

"Usagi! Not the ginizishou!" Raye exclaimed horrified.

All of them jumped high to get it first. The silver crystal gave a crack at the impact and splintered to different pieces.

"Oops." Usagi smiled weakly. "I'll fix it." She promised her scouts.
