Author: Bunny-chan Email: Bunny_chan85@hotmail.com That Time Old Feeling Chapter 10 2/04/01 Ossu! Heh heh, another chapter. I think this will go on for about two more chapters and then an epilogue. But don't hold me to that! That's an estimate. I wrote most of this during school long hand, and then typed it up so hopefully it will get out sooner than what I originally thought. Duo: Bunny-chan! They're coming!!! B-c: Who's coming? Wufei: You really are a weak baka-onna, huh? Haruka: Wufei-baka! *starts punching him* Wufei: Ouch! Stop it! Itai! I mean it! *Men wearing uncomfortable black suits walk in* Guy #1: Bunny-chan. You are charged with forgetting to put in a disclaimer in one of your previous chapters! How do you plead? Wufei: Haruka! Leave me alone! *starts running* Haruka: Come back here, you baka! *chases him with his own katana sword* *Everyone sweatdrops* Duo: Now that's something you don't see everyday.... Guy #2: Well, Bunny-chan? What do you have to say for yourself? B-c: You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before? Guy #2: This is your first offense, I don't see how we could've met before. *gets nervous* B-c: Hey! *takes off Guy's sunglasses* Juunanagou! I knew it was you! What are you doing here? Juunanagou: Aww, damnit! There goes my cover! Duo: Hey, Juunanagou... How come you were listed as Guy number 2 when we first met you, but now, you're 17? *Juunanagou and Bunny-chan sweatdrop* Juu: Still the same, Bunny-chan. You must face the consequences of not telling your readers that you don't own the animes. B-c: *get nervous* and what would that be...? Guy #1: You get to hang with us! *Pulls of sunglasses to reveal...* B-c: Gohan!? Gohan: Yup! B-c: What are you doing here? And wearing that suit? You don't look right. Gohan: Heh heh, yeah well, it comes with the job. B-c: Yeah, well... Enjoy the fic, minna! Juunanagou and Gohan: Bunny-chan!!! B-c: Heh heh, oh yeah. I don't own Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing or Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Cause if I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction. Wufei: Bunny-chan-baka doesn't own Dragonball either. Haruka: And neither does Wufei! Wufei: *glares* <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> "Ami-chan..." Mercury knelt down next to Gundam Moon. Tears of shame and sorrow glistened in her aqua eyes. "Usagi-san. Gomen nasai." "Ami?" Gundam Moon asked confused. "When I saw you on the news, my heart stopped. I've been sorry since that day, and even before that. Please Usagi-san, I beg of you forgive me." She said brokenly, trying to meet Usagi's gaze. "Kami-sama!" Usagi cried out and grabbed Mercury into a hug. Mercury returned the gesture, startled. She blinked once or twice in disbelief. 'She forgave me?' Then realization dawned on her and the tears really came, ones of joy and relief. She smiled and hugged her friend enthusiastically. 'She forgave me.' "Usagi-chan." Quatre came running out of the house. He quickly assessed the situation, Heero on the ground unconscious and Usagi embracing another woman. "Usagi-chan! What happened?!" Usagi pulled away from the hug. "Quatre-kun. Heero was turned into a phage, but he's ok now. Sailor Mercury came and helped." His eyes bugged. "M-mercury? You mean one of them?" He asked surprised. Mercury stood up then, her head lowered as she spoke, "I'm not proud of what I did, and I'm sorry for it." Quatre nodded in understanding. Ami's eyes then focused on the forgotten Heero. "Quatre-san," she said, "We need to get him inside; when he wakes up he'll be a bit disorientated." "Ok." He walked over and helped Usagi lift Heero's body. Usagi fell back suddenly, hissing in pain. "Usagi-chan, Daijoubu?" Mercury worriedly asked. "Iie, my back isn't healed yet." "I'll help Quatre-san bring him in. Then I'll take a look at your back." Usagi's face brightened in a smile. "Ami-chan, you made it didn't you? You became a doctor." "Yes, I did." She answered quietly. Ami and Quatre took Heero into his room and laid him down on his bed. Then, Ami took Usagi into her room to examine her back. "What happened to your back, Usagi-chan?" "I jumped in front of a blast meant for Heero." Ami smiled fondly, "Still sacrificing yourself for your friends?" "Still..." "How are you Usagi-chan? I haven't seen you in at least 900 years. Where did you go that day?" Ami asked, her voice barely above a whisper as that night came back to her. "I haven't seen you in three months." "Three months?!" She yelled, surprised. "You time traveled? So that's why we couldn't sense you until now." "What you guys did to me hurt me more than any physical pain I've ever felt. It would be hard to forgive one completely. And what do you mean, 'we'?" "I mean myself, Makoto and Minako," She said, her intelligent blue eyes holding important information. "What about...?" Usagi broke off, she couldn't even bring herself to say their names. "Rei and Mamoru are dead. When they made their kingdom, they called it Sanq instead of Crystal Tokyo. They had a few children, but an attack on their kingdom killed them. Their children survived and carried on their name and home." Ami continued even though she knew Usagi wouldn't like the information. "When the kingdom was first established, the two ruled fairly. But later on, Rei became paranoid and began ordering the deaths of blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls. We didn't share those views, so we left on our own." Usagi interrupted then, "Ironic how her own children turned out blond headed and blue eyed, or close to it ne?" Mercury giggled a little as she thought about it and then turned serious. "I did some experiments after Rei and Mamoru died. We can live a prolonged life as long as we're not killed. So if someone injures us in a vital organ, we could die. I believe that the reason this is true is because we were exposed to the Ginzuishou. You're the reason we're still alive." Ami placed her hands lightly on Usagi's back. Her jaw set tight, and her eyes, determined. A baby-blue light emitted from her hands. The burns disappeared as the light washed over them. Usagi looked at Ami confused, "How did you...?" Ami smiled lightly, "I've had a lot of time to develop my skills." Usagi happily stretched. It no longer hurt to do so. She smiled and hugged Ami, "Arigato!" Usagi ran out the door just as Quatre was coming in. He cried out as they bonked heads. "Gomen, Quatre-kun!" "Uh... no problem, Usagi-chan." "Konnichi wa, Quatre-san." Ami greeted. "Konnichi wa, Mizuno Ami, right?" "Yes, may I ask why?" Quatre smiled, "I've heard of you. You've made many great advancements as a medical doctor." "Yes. I've always wanted to be a doctor. My mother was one, so I guess I followed in her footsteps." ********************** Heero opened his eyes. His head pounded, everything felt muffled and hazy, and the last thing he remembered was screaming in pain. "Hey. Are you feeling alright?" A voice asked. His unfocused eyes opened and gazed around the room, but doing so only made him dizzy so he closed them again. "Nani? What happened?" He questioned. "You were turned into a Phage because your Star Seed was taken." Images entered his head and only made it hurt more. He saw a creature attacking a girl with blonde Odangos. 'Is this me and Usagi?' Taking a deep breath he opened his eyes once more and turned his head slowly to see a leg. He frowned in confusion then followed the path of the rest of the body to come across a familiar face; a rather beautiful one at that. "Why are you so quiet, Usagi? What's wrong?" "You attacked me. It hurt..." She said quietly. Shaking her head, she looked up, smiling. "I guess I'll have to work harder on self-defense then." "Gomen, for hurting you, Usagi. I never meant to..." She smiled, "Naw! It's ok. Anyways, I just came in to see how you were." She got up from her seat on the edge of the bed and edged towards the door. "So, now... I'll leave you to... rest. Bye!" And the blonde girl quickly exited the room. Heero shut his eyes in frustration. "Sumimasen...for everything, Usagi." ********************** Usagi walked down the hall and spotted Ami. "Ami-chan!" "Hi, Usagi-chan. I wanted to tell you earlier, the others might come by soon." "Others?" "Yes, Mako-chan and Minako-chan. I just called Mako-chan and gave her directions here. I think they'd want to see you again." "Hai, I'd like to see them too." "I heard Luna's with you, how is she?" "She got hurt yesterday from a youma, but she should be doing fine. I was just going to see her, wanna come?" "Sure." The two girls walked down the hall and Ami stopped them at the door before Usagi could go in. Usagi looked at her questioningly. "I was wondering where that new transformation came from." "Oh, Setsuna and I set it up. Since Dimando is using Gundanium in youmas and phages, I needed a new transformation that would get through the Gundanium." "Also, about that boy, Heero. Are you two...?" "Iie," Usagi stated sadly, "I care about him a lot, but... I don't know how he feels." Ami noted it was a touchy subject and quickly opened the door, "Let's go see Luna, ne?" Usagi nodded and the two girls walked inside. When they stepped into the room, they saw Luna laying on a bed. She looked pretty comfortable sprawled out the way she was. "Luna-chan? Daijoubu?" Usagi asked. Luna's eyes blinked once. Twice. Three times. "Usagi-chan? Ami-chan..." Luna's eyes flew open. "Ami!" She jumped up and arched her back, hissing at Ami. "Usagi-chan! What's Ami doing here!?" Usagi put her hands up to signal for Luna to stop. "Luna-chan, it's ok, calm down. I've forgiven Ami. Can you forgive her too?" The silence was stifling as they waited for Luna's answer. Finally, after an eternity... Luna sighed, "I guess, Usagi-chan. Welcome back, Ami-chan." "Arigato, Luna." Ami said, faintly smiling. Usagi picked Luna up, "So how are you feeling?" "I'm feeling alright, still a little sore though. Quatre-san has some good tuna fish here." Usagi laughed, "He should have good food. Speaking of food, I'm starved!" Ami smiled fondly, 'I hope you never change, my friend.' ******************** Setsuna was sitting on the couch in her apartment drinking tea when she suddenly stiffened. Hotaru, who had been reading a book on the floor, looked up at Setsuna knowingly. "Setsuna-mama? They're coming aren't they?" She asked, quietly. "Hai. I also feel that the final battle will be coming soon. Where are Haruka and Michiru?" "They went to the music store to get some new strings for Michiru-mama's violin." "When they come back, we'll go and visit Usagi-chan and the others. I have a feeling we'll need to be close to the Princess." ******************** "Ahhhh! That was good!" Usagi said, licking her lips after her fourth plate of eggs, bacon, and toast. Ami sweatdropped, "Usagi-chan..." Quatre laughed. "That's what the cooks are for. Oh, by the way, I called Trowa and told him to bring Duo and Wufei here. I have a feeling we'll need them. Plus, if Dimando attacked Heero, he might attack the others. It would be safer to stay together." Ami nodded in agreement. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Quatre got up from his spot at the table, "That's probably them." Quatre walked into the entrance room and opened the door to see Wufei's smiling face. "Good Morning, Winner!" He said, strangely happy. Wufei gestured behind him. Quatre was met with an amusing sight. Duo was grumbling something about Wufei's head and a baseball bat. His clothes were all wet, and his braid was dripping water on Quatre's front step. Wufei smirked at Quatre's confused visage. "Maxwell needed a little motivation in coming this morning. Haruka-kun was only too happy to help." Quatre looked past Wufei and Duo and saw Trowa, Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka and Michiru. "Well, next time, handle your problems yourself. I don't want to get my hands wet again." Haruka said, slightly annoyed. Despite her expression though, you could tell she enjoyed ruining Duo's morning. Quatre laughed at their behavior. Just then, Ami and Usagi walked up to the door. While Usagi smiled and greeted everyone, Haruka's eyes narrowed at Ami. One word escaped her lips, "Mercury..." Everyone tensed. Mercury? Wasn't she one of the girls that betrayed Usagi? "Don't worry, minna," Setsuna said. "Mercury, or rather, Mizuno Ami, is on our side." Haruka growled, "Setsuna..." Usagi noticed Duo's soaked form. "Duo-kun? What happened to you?" Duo eyed Wufei and Haruka. "They thought it was hilarious to dump water on me and make me walk here all wet." Usagi stifled a giggle. "You'd better come in and dry off before you get sick." Heero walked into the room. He seemed alright from the attack earlier. His tired eyes fell immediately to Duo. "Why are you wet?" Duo grumbled. Obviously not wanting to repeat it, but Wufei did for him. "Maxwell wouldn't wake up, so Haruka-kun and I made him wake up." He said proudly. Heero nodded, "Good work." Duo stared in shock. "Heero!" "C'mon in, minna," Quatre said. "Come with me Duo, We'll get you dry." Everyone walked in as Quatre took Duo upstairs to get him cleaned up. Trowa picked up Luna and immediately started talking to her, asking her how she was. "Ne, Koneko-chan. How are you feeling?" Haruka asked. Usagi smiled, "I'm fine. I'm happy that Ami-chan is back!" Just then, Quatre came back with a moping Duo. Wufei burst into laughter, Trowa tried not to smile, Heero grinned, and the girls giggled. Duo was wearing some of Quatre's clothes which consisted of tan pants, a white shirt and a pink vest. Duo glared, "This is so not cool!" That statment only made them laugh harder. The doorbell rang and Wufei answered it, still laughing. "What do you weak onnas want?" He asked, when seeing two ladies at the door. "Is Mizuno Ami here?" A lady with long blonde hair asked. Her sky blue eyes peered cautiously over Wufei's shoulder. The tall auburn-haired, green-eyed woman next to her, didn't have to peer, she could see clear over his head! Ami walked up to the door, "Konnichi wa, Mako-chan. Minako-chan. Come in." The two ladies walked in, when they spotted Usagi, their eyes welled up in tears. "Usagi!!" They both cried. "Makoto... Minako..." Usagi whispered. Memories of the past flooded her mind. Haruka glared at the sight of them. "Inners..." Michiru held onto her arm, trying to calm her down. "We've been terrible people. We're truly, utterly sorry for it. Will you forgive us, Usagi? For years we've been thinking of you, hoping one day we'd find you again and now that we have, the only thing we can think of is how much we've missed you. Please forgive us Usagi." Makoto asked, her eyes pleading. Minako could only nod in agreement, her voice choked up with sorrow as tears fell from both their eyes. Usagi nodded. "Hai. I forgive you for some of it. I may not be able to forgive you for all of it now, however." Makoto and Minako nodded. They understood that something like that needed a lot of time. The three girls hugged then, happy that that bridge was crossed. When they were done crying, and whatnot, Minako looked around at the people Usagi was with. "Ne, Usagi-chan! You're so lucky! Look at all the bishounens you're hanging out with! I'm jealous!" Quatre blushed, Duo grinned, Heero and Trowa didn't really care, and Wufei fumed. Makoto tsked, "Minako-chan! Have you forgotten your itooshi? The one you were crazy about last week?" "That was last week, Mako-chan!" She cried, "Look at how Kawaii they are!" Makoto looked at Trowa with hearts in her eyes, "Oh! He looks like my old Sempai!" Trowa raised an eyebrow as Usagi whispered, "Run while you can Trowa-kun. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid." The two girls began to argue over which boy was cuter. Ami hung her head in embarrassment, and the boys sweatdropped. Haruka's patience wore out then, "Shut up you bakas! You're embarrassing yourselves with your mindless chatter!" Michiru gasped, "Haruka!" Haruka glared, "I need some air." She stated as she walked out the door, slamming it behind her. Everyone was silent. "I'll go and try to calm her down, excuse me." Michiru said, walking out the door. Everyone looked at each other, one thought in mind, 'Well, what do we do now?' ******************** Dimando sat on his dark throne, contemplating his next move. It seemed bad luck followed him every where lately and his plans were spoiled at every turn. "What to do...? That boy gets in my way. I must find a path around him... Hmmmm..." He turned on his viewing screen. A picture of a girl with sandy-blonde hair appeared on the screen. Dimando smiled. "Relena Peacecraft. You're going to help me keep the boy out of the way long enough for me to capture Serenity. Heh, it'll be quite some fun." Evil laugher erupted in the dark domain. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Hey! I hope you've enjoyed it! More will come as soon as I can get it out, ok?
