Cat for a Week

Epilogue

There were a lot of things Luna wanted to say to Usagi. She had the entire lecture planned out in her head. All the panic, the anxieties, and the fear she had felt the moment she woke and found Usagi gone...even if Luna had to shake it into her, Usagi needed to feel the weight of the helplessness that lodge in Luna's throat when she thought she had lost Usagi for good. Maybe then, her rash charge would think twice before she did something that was so inherently stupid.

Luna held onto the indignation tightly until she finally arrived at the address she was given. She stared at the little kitten that was waiting for her. The silver furred animal was sitting on the porch outside the quiet house that was nested deeply in the woods. The cell phone by Usagi's side gave Luna a clue on how Usagi managed to contact her.

The anger just melted away.

The 'I was worried about you!' and the 'Don't you dare do anything like this again!' faded when she saw the distressed look on Usagi's face. It had taken a lot of courage to call Luna for help, knowing that she would be in trouble the moment they met.

'Please don't tell the others,' Usagi meowed when she saw Luna. Her big eyes pleaded. 'Not yet.'

"Alright." Luna prayed to Queen Serenity that Usagi would never realize how powerful that look was. When her charge gave that sad, depressed, pitiful expression, she found it hard not to cave in.

Luna almost stepped on the first boy when she walked into the living room. She hadn't been warned that they would be lying on the floor. They were lined up side by side with blankets covering them to keep them warm. They looked paled and drawn. Their wounds were severe enough that they remained unconscious, even when she began examining them.

So this was the reason Usagi called.

Luna took stock of their numerous injuries. She drew the blanket off of one boy and frowned when she saw the deep puckered claw marks. Underneath the wound, the blood had already clotted itself. It wasn't life-threatening. It might faded with time, but the torn flesh will scar after it heals. He will have this reminder for the rest of his life.

'It was a Youma,' Usagi meowed. She answered Luna's questioning look. 'But don't worry. We took care of it already.'

"What!" Luna grabbed a squirming Usagi and began frantically checking over her. She was relieved when she found Usagi unharmed. She glared at her charge. "You're going to tell me everything right now!"

Usagi sweatdropped.

"How is it that trouble always manages to find you?" Luna asked with a quiet sigh after Usagi finished talking. Her words lacked any real bite.

'Will they be ok?' Usagi meowed. She crawled into Luna's lap and looked up. She wanted reassurances that only Luna could provide. It was the reason why she called for her guardian instead of Rei or any of the other senshi. If she couldn't have her mother, Luna was a very close second.

Luna certainly felt rather motherly as she comforted Usagi.

"Don't worry," she said. "They'll recover very soon."

Usagi took her words at faith. She nuzzled Luna in thanks.

Luna spent the entire day caring for those boys. She was the one who changed their bandage and monitored their temperature. There was only so much Usagi could do without opposable thumbs. The things Usagi could do, however, made Luna swell up with pride.

She watched as Usagi hovered around with a twitching, worried tail. When one boy would moan, Usagi would be there to try and ease his pain. Luna would have to be blind not to notice how much more relax their expressions were when they felt Usagi's presence nearby. They slept more peacefully when she curled herself up next to them. Especially the American boy with the braid. Occasionally he would wake and Usagi was instantly by his side, offering him comfort as he slowly became more alert.

When the sun went down, Luna told Usagi that it was time. She took the communicator out of the pocket of her dress and she called Rei.

The senshi was livid when she arrived.

Luna could see the toll it took for the girl to hold in her temper and not lash out at Usagi.

"She's safe," Luna told her softly, right before she allowed the senshi to enter. "That's all that matters." Going off was one thing that Rei could forgive. The fact that Usagi had been in danger and hadn't called them, that was another issue. Rei had been foaming at the mouth when she heard about the Youma. Luna foresaw a lot of groveling in Usagi's future as Rei took a calm breath and nodded.

They fought a lot...Usagi and Rei. There were times when Luna honestly thought that the two of them would do the negaverse's job and finish each other off. On some days they were worst than cats and dogs, picking at each others weaknesses and snarling.

Then there were times like now, where all it took was one glance and they understood each other.

That's how Usagi was able to leave.

She left those boys in Rei's care.

"Let's just go home," Luna said tiredly. She was exhausted as she walked out that door. She held Usagi a little tighter to her chest when they left the house behind.

Later that night, after they had regained their rightful body, Luna stretched herself out leisurely on the desk. She watched as Usagi stared out the window and up at the moon. Again, in the moonlight, Usagi eerily reminded Luna of Queen Serenity.

"Are you thinking about those boys?" Luna asked. There was a sad look on her charge's face.

"I was just wondering if I was ever going to see them again," Usagi answered. She turned to Luna and gave a watery smile.

"I'm sure you will," Luna said firmly. She patted Usagi's hand. She then pointed to the stacks of books lying on the desk.

"What's that?" Usagi looked confused.

"Your homework. I took the liberty of using the Luna pen and I went to school for you. I didn't want you to miss any assignments."

Luna smiled inwardly at the horrified look on Usagi's face.

'Queen Serenity,' Luna thought when she looked at the moon. 'Don't you worry. We'll find the Princess.'

And for the first time in a long while, Luna felt truly at peace as she listened to the frantic scribbles of Usagi's pencil.
