24. Dragonfly
Thanks to Doc-sama, Serandi, Rainediamond,sm fan, James Birdsong, Elegant Sadist, The Witch033 for reviewing the previous chapter!
A/N: I re read the previous one and realised I didn't check through that last paragraph. Kinda used 'apparent' and 'interesting' too much. I've also started a tumblr account (Link's in my bio) to post the works at the same time, and to prepare for the poll once 100 themes are done.
Also, 101 REVIEWS! THANK YOU ALL YOU LOVELY PEOPLE!
The Witch033: Yes, I am thinking of that too! Probably a poll to see which ones readers are more interested in. I'll get to that once the 100 themes are done.
This idea came from Doc-Sama suggesting the use of this Japanese Lullaby, Aka tombo, which means Red Dragonfly. It's a really soothing song, so if you have the time, go listen to it on youtube!

Mamoru turned in his sleep, enjoying the soft silk sheets against his back. His hands ran around the bed, searching for his wife's soft skin to cuddle against. A sleepy eye peeked out to find the bed empty instead.
Had Chibi-usa started crying again? He wondered, slipping on a soft robe and walking out of the room to find his wife. A sense of foreboding ran through him and he quickened his steps, fearful that something had happened to his wife and child.
A cool night breeze pulled at the curtains from the balcony, and a soft voice could be heard singing. He stilled for a moment, relaxing when he saw his wife's silhouette, carrying his daughter. The moonlight bathed the balcony, and he stood silently, admiring her as she sang a lullaby to calm Chibi-usa down.
"Aka tombo~" Usagi sang softly, her fingertips gently gracing the cheek of Chibi-usa as she whimpered lightly. "Tomatte iru yo..Sao no saki~" She finished the song while rocking her.
"You will have many aunts and uncles who will protect you." Usagi continued, whispering lightly to her daughter. "Your grand mother and Shingo will hug you everyday." She smiled, stroking her daughter's head of pink fluff. "Your grandfather and father will be over protective of you, but don't you worry, I'll be here when you bring your first boyfriend home. I promise you he won't be killed by your father. You'll have to forgive your father though. It seems like its part of his instincts already."
A pair of strong arms circled around Usagi's waist and she could feel lips smiling against her neck. "You knew I was there when you were singing, right?" She laughed lightly and Chibi-usa stirred in her sleep. Mamoru swayed together with Usagi, calming Chibi-usa down again. He pressed his lips to her hair, breathing in her scent and whispered into her ear.
"Shall we work on the next one?"
