Author: Bunny-chan Email: Bunny_chan85@hotmail.com That Time Old Feeling Chapter 11 2/15/01 Ossu! It's coming to a close... awww. I really enjoy writing this. Even though I know chapters could get out sooner. I don't own Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing or Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. So, of course, if you sue, you're very mean and will only get pocket lint. ^_^ Duo: Awww! If the story is ending... then I won't get to come out and make comments anymore! Wufei: Yes, Maxwell. This is the price we pay. Only five minutes of fame and then we're discarded for some other character. Haruka: I agree. After this I probably won't get to beat you up any more. Wufei: I don't think I'll miss this that much then. B-c: Well, I'll throw a nice story ending party for you three then. That should be fun, right? Wufei: I guess... Duo: *Bursts into insane crying* I don't want the story to end!!!!!! Wufei: Shut up, Maxwell! Haruka: Both of you, Shut Up!! B-c: *Sigh* I tried... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> It'd been a week since that day Haruka had walked out of Quatre's mansion. It'd been a week since Usagi had met up with the remaining inners and found out Mamoru and Rei were dead. And, it'd been a week since she told Heero she had feelings for him. Usagi sighed as she sat at her vanity table, reflecting on the day's events. She knew Heero had been trying to avoid her. Even if he hadn't come right out and said it, his constant disappearances were evidence enough. Why? Why did it have to be like this? Usagi put her head in her hands as tears began to fall down her face, her fragile spirit sorrowful, "Kami-sama... I can't stand this heavy feeling in my heart anymore..." She wiped her tears away, got up from the table and went to bed. Her sniffling only subsided when she fell asleep. ***************** Haruka glared angrily at the older woman, a scowl fixed upon her face. "Setsuna, I don't see why we're having this conversation! The Inners betrayed Koneko-chan, they shouldn't be welcomed back! You know it as well as I do. No matter how convincing their story is they will always be untrustworthy senshi!" Setsuna sighed as she rubbed her temples, "Haruka, I saw this in the timelines. They are needed in order for us to defeat Dimando and Chaos. There's no way to get around it. Plus, it's better for them to be here to make amends with Usagi-chan. It's better for her." She said calmly, hoping that Haruka would drop the subject for now. She was really beginning to get a headache from it. Haruka closed her eyes in frustration. A moment later she opened them again, her blue gaze icy as she focused once more on the time senshi. "Fine. But Setsuna, this doesn't mean I will welcome them happily and forget what they did to Odango like you have." And with that, Haruka went into her and Michiru's room and closed the door behind her. Setsuna sighed and looked over to Michiru, mentally asking for help on the situation. Michiru smiled lightly from her place in the reclining chair, "I can't control her sometimes. But you know, she is right. If only partially. They hurt Usagi-chan badly. It will take a long time for me to forgive them." Setsuna nodded in agreement. She turned her attention to the young girl sitting on the floor reading a novel. "What do you think of this, Hotaru-chan?" She asked. Hotaru looked up. "I'm not sure," She said, struggling for the correct words to convey her statement. "I say that it would be nice to see Usagi-chan smile again; like the way I see her smile at Heero-san." Michiru raised an eyebrow, "Her smile at Heero-san?" Hotaru nodded, "Hai. That one. It's such a beautiful smile, too." Michiru grinned in earnest, "Sometimes I forget how old you are." "I'm 15, Michiru-mama. Don't forget my birthday now!" She said, teasingly. "No, no. I won't." ******************* "They look pretty don't they?" A teenage boy asked. "Yes. So many shine so bright. They really are quite mesmerizing." His companion consented. "Ne, Luna? Are the stars like this at your old home?" "Iie, they shine so much brighter at home, Trowa-san." Luna said, still gazing at the stars overhead. Silence followed her last statement. Trowa nodded. He reached one hand out and began to stroke Luna behind the ears. Her content purrs were his response. He sighed. This was how he liked life. 'Calm, and with the one you lov-' He stopped. 'Love? I... think I love her. But is that right? To love a cat?' Trowa shook the thought out of his head. Now was not the time. He just wanted to enjoy watching the stars with Luna. ****************** Duo crept into the dark kitchen, tip-toeing his way to the fridge. Silently he opened the door and looked, searching for that one little item that was calling for him.... Wufei's chocolate cake. He grinned as he reached in to grab the tasty dish... The light's flicked on, "You're not going to eat that cake in there, are you?" Duo groaned. 'Damnit!' He turned his head to the speaker. "Of course not, Wu-chan! I got thirsty. You know how I get thirsty at night." He said, nervously, flashing the frowning figure a sheepish grin. Wufei scoffed, "Yeah Maxwell. The last time you got thirsty this late at night was when I had a chocolate cake in the refrigerator that somehow managed to disappear." Duo sweat dropped. "I told you before that I didn't eat it. Damn! I CAN be trusted you know!" Pretending to be offended, he slammed the fridge door shut and plopped down in a chair at the nearest table. Wufei smirked, "As much as Benedict Arnold can be trusted." Duo creased his brow in confusion. "Who's Benedict Arnold?" Wufei face-faulted, "It's your own country's history and you don't even know who Benedict Arnold is?!" "No... But I have a feeling you're going to tell me." "Benedict Arnold betrayed his country in the revolutionary war in 1775* dimwit." Duo nodded, "Oh... okay!" He got up from his chair. "G'night, Wu-chan!" Wufei sighed, "Maxwell, my name is... oh the hell with it! Goodnight!" Then Wufei walked out of the kitchen. Moments later... The refrigerator door opened. "Heh heh..." Duo cackled, trying to be as silent as he could while trying to pull off an evil Shinigami laugh. "Chocolate cake, you've seen me, therefore, I can't let you live. Prepare to meet your maker. The Shinigami shall eat you." Then, the cake was consumed quickly and satisfied, Duo proceeded to bed. Not to long after the *cake thief* left, Wufei walked into the kitchen. 'Damnit! Now I'm thirsty!' He opened the fridge and saw an empty plate where his cake once resided. His face turned red. "MAXWELL!!!!" ********************* Heero turned his head at the sound of Wufei's scream. He smirked. 'Duo must've gotten that cake Wufei's been so protective of.' His door quickly opened as a black and brown blur ran in and hid behind him. "Heero! You have to help me!" Duo begged frantically. Little pieces of chocolate cake were still around his lips. "Ask Quatre. I'm going to sleep." And so saying, Heero moved from his place on the floor to the bed. Duo frowned, "You're not going to help! Some friend you are. Quatre will be glad to help me out!" He cried indignantly as he opened the door to leave. He turned, only to see a very pissed off Wufei! Duo gulped as he watched Wufei take out his Katana sword from only Kami knows where. His eye's widened in panic as the Chinese boy grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close. Wufei's eyes were merciless. "Maxwell," He hissed in a low deathly voice, "You are going to die." "Eep!" Was all Duo said as Wufei dragged him out of Heero's room. Heero sighed as they left. He then slid into bed, ready for the images of a certain blonde-haired girl to enter his mind and plague him all night through his dreams. After awhile he turned on his side, not finding a comfortable position at all. He closed his eyes and silently prayed for sleep. Finally, it came, and his soft snores could soon be heard. A soft light flashed in his room and a luminous figure formed. It looked around the room slowly before spotting It's intended purpose for being there asleep on the bed. Silently it approached the unaware boy and gazed at him with sorrowful blue eyes, familiar eyes... The figure reached its hand out and placed it over Heero's cheek. "You must open your heart soon. Serenity can't take much more of this. Did you know that not telling her your feelings is slowly eating her alive?" The figure spoke lightly and calmly, the blue azure eyes flashing when there was no response from the boy. The figure frowned. "Well, did you really expect an answer? You come to him when he's sleeping and you're offended when he doesn't answer." It said more to itself than anything else. The figure drew It's hand back. "Please tell my daughter soon. When you both know how the other feels, you'll all feel better." Then the figure disappeared in a small flash of light. Heero stirred in his sleep. *************************** The figure that just left Heero Yuy's room stood in mist, a finger lightly tapping Its chin in thought. "Was it a success?" Another figure asked. "Well, if you consider the fact that he was fast asleep and probably didn't even hear me as successful, then, yes it was a success." The first figure said. "Now, now, my Queen. I'm sure it will be alright." The second figure assured. "Hai, hai. I just don't want my daughter to suffer any more. She's gone through enough of that. Especially with Endymion. I was foolish to think that she would love him. He was always a flirt in the Silver Millennium. Pluto? Why did I think that Serenity and Endymion should've wed?" "You wanted what you thought was best for her. It's not your fault, my Queen." Pluto answered. Serenity sighed. "Yes I know." "I must go back now, my Queen." Pluto said while bowing. "Alright. Take care, Pluto." Serenity hailed as Sailor Pluto vanished. ************************** Luna hopped through the window of Usagi's room, landing lightly on the foot of the bed, being ever so careful to not wake up the blonde sleeping in the bed. But, her efforts were wasted. "Luna," came the muffled voice from beneath the covers. "What are you doing?" "Eh, gomen, Usagi-chan. I didn't mean to wake you." Luna apologized. Usagi sat up, pulling the covers down from her face. "No, you didn't wake me up. I couldn't sleep at all." "Oh? What's wrong?" Luna asked, concerned. "I can't stop thinking about Heero. Every time I close my eyes I see his face. I was never like this with Mamoru. I'm beginning to think that I never loved him at all. What am I supposed to do, Luna? My heart feels like it's been through a blender. I just feel so rejected." She said, tears gathered at her eyes, begging to fall down her cheeks. Her voice was strained as she spoke. "Usagi-chan. I'm sorry." Luna whispered, distressed at her friend's dilemma. She walked over and nuzzled Usagi's chin and face, hoping to make her feel better. Usagi smiled lightly and scratched Luna behind her ears. "Arigato, Luna-chan. So tell me, how was your time with Trowa?" Luna smiled happily. "We looked at the stars the whole time, Usagi-chan. I think just how you love Heero-san.... I love Trowa-san." "I'm glad, Luna, that you've found a love here. I pray Trowa-chan loves you back the way you want him to." "I do, too, Usagi-chan." Luna said, quietly. She then turned on motherly mode and spoke, "So what are you doing up at this hour, Usagi?! You should be in bed and asleep. You've missed school for a few days and as your guardian, I can't allow you to miss any more! So get to bed, Usagi!" Usagi raised an eyebrow at Luna. Her confused visage then turned to a smile. "Alright, MOM! I'm going to sleep now. Thank you, Luna. Goodnight." She said as she pulled the covers up to her chin. Luna smiled, quite proud of her charge. She then walked back over to the foot of the bed and lay down, curled into her usual cat position. "Goodnight, Usagi-chan." She whispered before she fell asleep. ***************************** Morning. The birds chirped and the squirrels played in the trees. You'd think that this was a good thing... but not to Tsukino Usagi. Usagi was sprawled over her bed, half in it, and half falling over the edge. The blankets had been thrown off sometime during the night and were now on the floor. The light shined right in her face, causing her to clench her eyes shut, hoping for five more minutes of blissful sleep. Usagi sighed. 'Damnit! I wanted sleep. I wanted to see Heero in my dream again. He held me so close...' Usagi untangled herself from her covers and walked out of her room to the kitchen. She saw Michiru at the table drinking tea and eating a blueberry muffin. She sat down across from her and put her head down on the table. Michiru smiled lightly. "Ohayo, Usagi-chan. Did you have a nice sleep?" "Oh you know, the usual" Came her muffled voice. "See images of the one you love, wake up to find the sun is shining right in your face and that your dream of being with that special some one was just a dream. Just great, Michiru-chan." Michiru's eyes widened, and for a moment, she looked rather hurt by her words. Usagi looked up, obviously aware of her harsh words. "I'm sorry, Michiru-chan. I know it's not your fault. I'm just tired." "It's ok, Usagi-chan. Would you like for me to make you some breakfast? It's still a decent hour for it. You got up early." Usagi smiled. "Sure, Thank you. That'd be really great." Michiru nodded and set to work on breakfast. Soon, the aromas of the food caught the attention of a certain 'Senshi of The Skies'. Haruka walked out of her and Michiru's bedroom. "Oh Michiru, it smells so good. I hope I get some." She said, wrapping her arms around Michiru's neck. Michiru smiled, "Oh, you'll get yours alright. Just you wait. After breakfast is the best part." "I can't wait, Michiru." Usagi raised an eyebrow as she watched to two converse. "Okay..." She got up from her seat at the table and turned to the couple. "I'm going to go for a walk. I'll be back soon." Michiru turned to her. "Are you sure? I was making breakfast for you." "That's ok," She declined. "I'm just going to get dressed and go for a walk now." Michiru nodded sadly, "Sure." Usagi nodded and went back into her room to change. Moments later she came out, dresses in a white shirt and jeans. She stopped at the coat rack before leaving. She then put on a black trench-like coat. "Ja, minna!" She called, leaving through the door. Haruka turned to Michiru. "Something is definitely bugging Koneko-chan. She turned down food..." "I know," Michiru sighed. "It's Heero-san. She's so distressed over him." Haruka clenched her fist. "I swear. If Heero hurts her in any way, he'll get a beating so bad he'll be talking through his a-" "Now, now, Haruka." Michiru said, wrapping her arms around her. "Save all that ranting for later." "Later, huh? You're the boss, Michiru." "Let's keep it that way." **************************** Heero stood in the park, looking at the waters of the lake. He had left the house earlier due to a couple of people yelling all morning. *Cough cough Duo and Wufei cough cough*. He laughed to himself. Indeed it was a very loud morning. Trowa got so fed up that he backhanded both Duo and Wufei and told them to shut up and be quiet. Thoughts of the pilots soon left Heero's mind as he glanced across the lake and began to envision Usagi standing there, smiling at him with love in her eyes... 'Heero? Are you there? Please speak to me. The figure of Usagi pouted. You really can be evil to me, you know that?' Heero's eyes widened as he saw Usagi standing not three feet away from him. He struggled to find his voice as she stood there, hands on hips. She spoke first. "Are you ok?" Heero coughed. "Yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" "I'm ok. I haven't seen you all week." "Yeah, I haven't been to school. Neither have any of the guys. They don't think it's wise for us to be separated because of Dimando." "Heero? I have to ask you something..." She said, quietly, directing her attention to the lake. "Yeah? What is it?" He asked, not sure of what she was getting at. "You've been avoiding me, haven't you?" Heero's eyes widened. Her voice was soft and heartbroken. He was in shock. How could she think that? Sure, he was trying to get his emotions straight, but he wouldn't go as far as to say he didn't want to see her. "I have feelings in my heart that hurt me every time I see you, Heero. I don't think I can handle it any more. I need to know, please?! What do you feel towards me?" She begged. Heero struggled for words again for the second time that day. 'What do I feel for her? Oh, Usagi, you don't know what you do to me at all. I can't speak, I can't function when I'm with you. I need time... I don't know what it is I feel for you.' "I... I need some time, Usagi. Please forgive me." He said finally. Usagi nodded, tears beginning to form at her eyes. "I understand. I'll be here if you want to talk." She went and sat down at a park bench, instantly wrapping her arms around herself. Heero sighed and walked off. A feeling of turmoil and unknown feelings in his throat and stomach. He got about 10 feet away from Usagi when Relena walked up to him. "Konnichi wa, Heero-chan!" Heero glared. He didn't like that term of endearment at all. "What do you want Relena? I don't have time for you." Relena's eyes flashed gold for a moment. "Of course, Heero-chan." She glanced past Heero to look at Usagi. She smiled. 'Perfect... The bait is listening....' Then, Relena flung her arms around Heero. "Of course! I love you too, Heero!!" She screamed, excitedly. Usagi's eyes widened and she gasped as she heard that statement. Heero turned around at the sound of someone gasping. His eyes widened. 'Not Usagi! Oh please...' Usagi's eyes watered. "I gave you time.... I didn't expect this though. I'm sorry I bothered you, Heero. I'll leave you and Relena-san alone now." Then Usagi ran off, her sobs increasing. Heero closed his eyes in disbelief. He threw Relena's arms off of him. "What's wrong, Heero-chan?" She asked, an evil look on her face. "You! You're what's wrong. You've caused me to lose the one person who means something in my life. I hope you're happy, Relena." He said, resisting the urge to beat the information into her thick skull. "Oh, I am happy, Heero. I gave my master just enough time to capture Serenity. I'm very happy!" Relena said, her eyes now turning a bright gold color. Heero's eyes widened in shock. "Your master?" Relena grinned. "Uh huh. Dimando. He promised me you, if he got Serenity. I'd say it was a fair deal. I'll be seeing you later, Heero-chan!" She said before disappearing in a small flash of light. Heero clenched his fist. "Kuso! KUSO!!!!!!!!" ************************* Usagi ran past the trees, the world a blur as she sprinted for all she was worth. She was unsure of exactly where she was going, but she knew that she had to get away from Heero. She ran fast, but missed the root that stuck out of the ground, and tripped, skidding along the dirt. Usagi lay there for a moment, catching her breath. Her knees and legs were scratched and burned from the rocks when she fell, but she barely noticed. The tears fell down her face instead, mixing with the dirt. "Heero," She sobbed. "Why? Why did you do that? If you just said you didn't love me, I would've understood. But why do this?" "Serenity.... You should've known that he wasn't the one for you." Usagi looked up in shock. "Dimando?!" Dimando leaned down, close to her. "That boy should pay for the injustice he's done to you. I can make him pay, do you want to help me make him sorry?" Usagi closed her eyes... there was a feeling entering her heart... what was it? Hate? She shook the thoughts of revenge from her mind. "No. I won't take revenge for such a thing. No one should be punished for their feelings." Dimando glared. "Is that so? Then what do you think you're doing to me? I love you, and yet you try to destroy me. Isn't that punishing me for my feelings?" Usagi shook her head. "No. I'm fighting you because your trying to gain control of this world. Not for your feelings." Dimando stood up. "Then fight me, Serenity. Fight me for what I'm doing to this planet. Destroy me." He pleaded. Usagi gasped as she saw his gold eyes flicker to blue then back again. She nodded, her jaw set tight in determination. "I will fight you, Dimando. I will defeat you Chaos." "Moon Eternal!! MAKE-UP!!!!" She called, using her Eternal form instead of the Gundam one. The familiar feathers and ribbons surrounded her body as she transformed. "I am the pretty suited soldier, Sailor Moon. And, in the place of the moon, I will defeat you!" Dimando threw a punch at Eternal Sailor Moon and the fight began. **************************** Relena threw a blast at a little jewelry shop. "Hmph! That's what you get for not letting me have those diamond rings!" "Stop what you're doing! Right now!" Relena turned to the voice. "Who...?" "On behalf of Mercury! The planet of Ice!" "On behalf of Jupiter! The planet of Storms!" "On Behalf of Venus! The planet of Love!" "We'll defeat you!" "Is that so? I'd like to see you try. I was given powers from Dimando himself. I don't see how any of you weaklings could beat me." Mercury touched her earring and her Visor came over her eyes. "I'll see your weaknesses soon enough." "Hey," Venus said, getting Jupiter's attention. "Isn't that Relena? The Queen of the Sanq Kingdom?" "Hey, I think you're right." Jupiter said, agreeing. "She was influenced by Chaos' dark power. It offered her something that she wanted very badly." "Pluto?!" Venus and Jupiter said in surprise. "You still sneak up on people don't you, Pluto?" Venus said, a little irritated at being surprised like that. Pluto made a funny face and readied her attack. "Dead Scream." The ball of purple energy flew, but Relena deflected it. "Silence Wall!!" Saturn blocked the energy from hitting the other senshi. Relena yawned. "This is getting tiresome. I'm outta here!" Then she disappeared. "Where'd she go?" Jupiter asked. Uranus 'Hmphed'. "Probably back to Dimando. Koneko-chan is the only one who can free her from Chaos' hold." "Where is Usagi-chan, by the way?" Mercury asked. *************************** Luna walked up to Trowa and nuzzled his leg. "Hi, Luna. What can I do for you?" 'It's now, or never. You have to tell him. Don't let this turn out like with Kakeru.' "I have something to tell you." Trowa looked down. "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" "I have feelings for you, Trowa-san. I think it might be love." She said. Luna sighed, glad that she could finally get that off of her chest, so-to-speak. "Love?" Trowa asked in disbelief. "I don't think it's right for a human to love a cat. Gomen, Luna." Then Trowa walked off into the sunset. Luna woke up from her catnap. Her mouth was open in shock. "Trowa wouldn't say that to me, would he?" *************************** Sailor Moon dodged the blast thrown at her. Dimando was fighting to win this time. Suddenly a portal opened up, and Relena stepped out of it. "Master, I'm bored." "Master?!" Sailor Moon said in disbelief. "Yes, I recruited Relena Peacecraft." Sailor Moon pulled out her Moon Tier. "I will free Relena Peacecraft! No one deserves to be in evils' clutches. Silver Moon! Crystal Power Kiss!!!" A dark light was purged from Relena's body and she fell limp to the ground. Dimando smiled. 'The perfect opportunity.' "You may have healed her, but that doesn't stop Heero Yuy's feelings!" Sailor Moon's eyes once again filled with tears as she sensed his words were true. She dropped her Moon Tier and fell to her knees. "I'll leave you with that bit of information." He smiled evilly and left. Usagi detransformed. and fell completely to the ground, not caring how dirty she got. She heard the heavy footfalls of someone running, very fast, towards her direction. "Usagi!" A voice called. Usagi closed her eyes. Hadn't he done enough damage for one day? "Usagi! There you are! I was looking all over for you. Are you ok?" Heero asked, breathing hard from running. "Why are you here?" Came her whispered reply. "I came to see you. I was worried. What you saw was al-" "Go away. Go with Relena. Just leave me be, please." She whispered, dejectedly. Heero slammed his fist against the tree. "God damnit, Usagi! I love you, not her!" Usagi eyes widened. "Nani?" "I said, I love you. Not Relen-" Heero never got to finish his sentence because that's when Usagi covered his lips with hers. He stared in shock. 'She- She's kissing me! What am I supposed to do?' 'Kiss her back you idiot!' The annoying voice in his head said. Heero wrapped his arms around her small frame and kissed her back with all the passion he could muster. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Heh heh. You all wanted him to open up. I don't think he could get anymore open than that! ~_^ Please review! The more reviews, the faster this gets out. Eh, it's going to get out anyway, but just make me feel better and review. Ja! ~Bunny-chan P.S. Thank you to Shorty-chan for prereading for me!
