Usagi-chan

I don't own Sailormoon or anything pertaining to.
I know I took a long time getting this out.  Sorry!
Please mail me!

"What do you mean?" Usagi asked.  She stepped towards the window and
 peeked out from behind the curtain.  Indeed, the senshi and Tuxedo Kamen 
were heading up the front steps of her house.

"Hide me!" Usagi exclaimed.  "Don't let them know I'm here."

"Usagi-chan, I don't think this is very..." Ikuko began, but her daughter was
already up the stairs with Rachel right behind her.  Sighing, Ikuko went to her
front door and opened it, just as the senshi were about to knock.

"May I help you?" Kenji asked, coming up behind his wife.  He place a supportive
arm around her shoulders.

"Yes, we are looking for your daughter, Tsukino Usagi." The red clad senshi explained.

"I'm sorry, we don't know where she is.  She disappeared years ago, without a word..."
Ikuko sniffed.

"Dammit don't lie to us!  We know she's here!" Sailorjupiter exclaimed, pounding a fist 
against the door frame.

"She isn't here!  We haven't seen here in years!  Why can't you just leave us alone?!"
Kenji asked, furious at the audacity of these teenagers, as that was all they were.

"Look Sir, we know she is here.  I have a special link with your daughter that enables me to feel her presence.  When she was gone, that link faded, but last night it came 
back strong.  I followed it here this morning.  I know she is here." Tuxedo Mask spoke.

"And what are you to my daughter?" Ikuko asked.

"I am in love with her." he replied simply.

"Love?  You think that's what it is?" Kenji asked.  "She is too young to know love."

"She knows more love at her young age than most people do ever." Sailormercury told
him.  "It was her love that kept us together."

"If it kept you together, where is Sailormoon?  Hmm?" Shingo asked.  "I think you
should just go away."

Kenji nodded his head and slammed the door in their faces.  The stunned senshi turned to 
each other.

"Now what?" Sailormercury asked.

"There's always the back entrance..." Sailorvenus smiled evilly.

"I'll watch the front door, Jupiter and Mercury take the back.  Venus keep an eye
on the garage and Tuxie, you go in her bedroom window." Sailormars took control.  "Let's 
move!"

The senshi took their assigned positions and took action.  Tuxedo Kamen slowly
slid Usagi's bedroom window open and slipped inside.  He glanced around, and sensed
that Usagi was in the room, but not alone.

Carefully he moved forward until he reached her closet.  He quickly opened it 
and grabbed Usagi's arm, pulling her out of the closet.

"Hey!' Usagi yelped as his gloved hand clamped over her mouth.  Glaring up at
her captor, Usagi was not surprised to see Tuxedo Kamen.

"I know your friend is in there.  She can come out now." Tuxedo Kamen said softly.  Rachel stepped out of the closet and swiftly kicked Tuxedo Kamen, causing him to lose 
his grasp on Usagi.

"Run, Sere!" Rachel yelled as she blocked Tuxedo Kamen's way.  Usagi dashed out of her 
bedroom and down the front stairs.  She threw open the front door, and ran.  A stunned 
Sailormars watched her, before hitting the all call button on the communicator.

"She's on the move!  Let's go people!" Sailormars called as she raced after Usagi.

Usagi ran like she had never run before.  She turned at the end of her street and continued.  She was very thankful for the hard training of being a ballerina.  She 
dashed down an alley between two houses and doubled back.  She knew the other senshi 
were behind her, but she was hoping to lose them.  She turned down another alley and 
suddenly found herself surrounded.

"Long time no see, Usagi." Sailormars said as the four senshi stepped closer to her.

"Usako..." Tuxedo Mask gazed at her.

"I suggest you back away and let me pass.  Otherwise, I'll scream.  Do you think your
reputations as the Sailor Senshi will survive a civilian's story of being attacked by
you?" Usagi asked.  She knew it was low, but she wanted to escape.  

"She's right." Sailorjupiter glanced at the others.  They passed barely perceptible nods 
and quickly powered down. 

"Let's go, Usagi." Minako said.  Makoto and Rei stood on either side of her with Minako
in the lead and Ami behind them.  Mamoru followed behind the group.

"Where are we going?" Usagi asked.

"My apartment." Mamoru said.

"No." Usagi stopped walking.

"Walk, or you'll cause a scene." Rei hissed.

"Fine.  I don't care." Usagi replied.

"Dammit girl!  Stop being so immature." Minako exclaimed. 

Usagi continued to walk in silence.  She began to plot for a way she could escape, as 
they led her into Mamoru's apartment.  The six stepped into the elevator and Mamoru hit 
the button.  The elevator lurched and Usagi automatically latched herself onto Mamoru's 
arm.  Glancing up at him, she blushed and let go.

"Sorry..." She muttered.

The elevator doors opened and the group led Usagi to Mamoru's apartment.  Once they
were inside, Usagi found herself seated on Mamoru's couch, and in for the interrogation 
of her lifetime.
