Part 13:  Old Wounds

The light faded and a single Chibi-Usa collapsed to the ground.  Usagi
wasn't sure what had happened. Carefully she started to approach the
child. She stopped a little ways away and crouched down. Usagi couldn't
see the expression on Chibi-Usa's face but could tell that her shoulders
were shaking slightly.

Reaching out she took the bunny from Sailor Venus and holding it out
said, "Imouto?"

Chibi-Usa's head snapped out, eyes focused on Usagi, and screamed, "BAKA
ODANGO ATAMA!!! How could you do that to me?!?!" <She's gone... Why did
you take away my onee-san?> Scrambling up she knocked the offered toy
out of Usagi's hand and started to swing her fists wildly at her.

Usagi backed up as fast as she could, away from the sudden and violent
outburst.  "Gomen, I didn't mean to!" Usagi pleaded.

"Didn't mean to?! You BAKA ODANGO ATAMA! You split me in two pieces
and... and... Do you know what `I' was going to do!?!?" The terrible
image of seeing her evil self telling her what she would do to `their'
parents played over in her mind. Chibi-Usa continued her tirade while
going after Usagi. Chibi-Usa had Usagi backed up into a corner now,
cowering.

"Now just hold on a second!" the angry voice of Sailor Jupiter started,
"Usagi cares about you very much."  With that Jupiter grabbed hold of
Chibi-Usa and dragged her back a little from the frightened teen.

"It's HER fault!" Chibi-Usa yelled pointing to Usagi, "Give me the
Ginzuishou and I can get out of this awful place!  Away from you, BAKA!"
<Why did you do this to me? Don't you love me anymore?>

"What... what about our deal?" Usagi said meekly. <Please Imouto...>

Chibi-Usa took several deep breaths trying to calm herself down. <Why
did you spoil it, Usagi? It was so nice before...>  After a bit she
said, "Iie! I can't wait for Rubeus to be finished... I have to go and
save my mommy. How were you going to get Sailor Moon to go with me?"

Usagi was almost in tears by this point. She really hadn't expected this
reaction. <I knew Chibi-Usa might be angry but I didn't think she'd be
this upset!> Usagi meekly said, "Gomen nasai, Chibi-Usa-chan, I can't
give you the Ginzuishou yet. I will once Rubeus is defeated. I promise."

"You don't care about Mommy... NONE OF YOU DO!" Chibi-Usa yelled. She
struggled to get out of Jupiter's restraining hug but failed, "I have to
save her!" <Please?>

"Sailor Moon wouldn't leave Tokyo with Rubeus still around," Sailor Mars
said softly. She walked in front of Chibi-Usa, "Sailor Moon would help
you and your mommy but she wouldn't leave the city unprotected." Then
swallowing a bit of her pride Mars continued, "Too often we require her
help to destroy the evil droids."

Chibi-Usa seemed to sag in defeat. Jupiter let her down and she just
stood there. Someone raised the bunny in front of her face and she
pushed it away.

"It was a gift, Chibi-Usa-chan. You should keep it."

"I'm not a little kid," Chibi-Usa replied. <Why don't you just leave me
alone?! Please... Just put the bunny down and I'll take it.>

"Imouto, Minako has stuffed animals and she's older than you," Usagi
pointed out. This drew an odd look from Sailor Venus.

Pounding on Usagi again Chibi-Usa shouted, "I'm not YOUR sister! I'm not
even related to you! I HATE YOU!" Grabbing the bunny she pelted back
through the park before anyone could do anything to stop her.

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa came to an area of the park that had several tall trees
surrounded by bushes. Crawling under the bushes she sat down on the
ground squeezed the toy bunny tightly and vented her emotions; tears
flowed freely now. She wouldn't cry in front of Usagi or the Sailor
Senshi. <How could I even think of hurting Mommy? Why did I do all those
nice things for Usagi? I was so happy before... Now... now I feel so
mixed up and... alone!>

Unseen by the crying child Luna sat in the bushes watching, <Oh I wish I
had arms... I could give you a hug. Why didn't you stay where Usagi was?
She could have comforted you. She really loves you.>

                                  ******

Usagi was walking home, <The others said to give Chibi-Usa some time...
I just can't help but feel that I really deserved what she said.> Her
mind was whirling with what had happened. She could barely remember that
the Senshi had told her that they'd meet tomorrow after school.

<I know I had to bring Chibi-Usa back, but why couldn't my imouto have
been there too? At least a little bit of her...>

"Usagi-chan?"

The voice caused Usagi to jump, <When did I get home?> Usagi wondered,
<I thought I was walking?>

She noticed her mother had a worried look on her face, "Usagi-chan? Are
you okay?"

"Hai," Usagi replied without meaning it. She really didn't want to talk
now; she might start crying. Nothing could bring back HER imouto.

"Dear, did you and Chibi-Usa have a fight?"

"Hai! Baka Odango Atama here really screwed up," Chibi-Usa's voice
interrupted when she came into the house, "You should have seen it!"

Usagi winced, <She's actually enjoying my misery... I tried to
apologize! What else does she want?> Usagi turned and walked up to her
room and closed her door.

Ikuko was surprised at this new change, <I'm actually relieved to hear
that they had a fight. These past two weeks have been rather strange.>
"Chibi-Usa-chan, that wasn't very nice. I want you to go apologize to
Usagi."

"Hai," Chibi-Usa grumbled.

"Is that the bunny Minako bought you?"

"Hai, Minako said Usagi gave her the money but I don't believe her.
Usagi would never buy me anything without wanting something. I think
Minako's fibbing to help Usagi."

A small frown crossed Ikuko's face as she said, "Chibi-Usa-chan, Usagi
DID pay for that. She gave up most of her allowance and offered to do
double chores to get more money. I hope you thanked Usagi for buying you
that toy?"

Chibi-Usa lowered her head slightly and shuffled her feet, "Iie." <Usagi
did that for me?!> Hearing the exasperated sigh, Chibi-Usa hurriedly
added, "But I will, Ikuko-mama."

"I hope so." Ikuko sighed, <Well I did want things back to normal... I
guess I got my wish. Still...>

                                  ******

That night the gulf between them grew wider. Usagi offered to read
Chibi-Usa a bedtime story but had the door abruptly slammed in her face.
Both girls laid in their separate beds awake thinking about the day.

Usagi for her part was now silently crying. She had lost the respect and
love from Chibi-Usa that she had so desperately wanted. She had lost her
imouto. But the worst thing was... she was alone. Only now was she
realizing how much a hole Chibi-Usa had filled; the hole had once been
occupied by Mamoru but no more.

The thought of Mamoru brought another sob to her. She was going to have
to tell Mamoru everything so he wouldn't be mad at Chibi-Usa. It would
be her final duty to the imouto she once had. <He'll be mad with me, yet
another thing to blame on Usagi. Another baka thing SHE'S done.>

Chibi-Usa was curled up in her bed. She dearly wished she could have
been in Usagi's bed. Instead she was in her own, no bedtime story read
to her, no reassuring good night hug. The only thing that she had was
the toy bunny and the past now gone it represented. Clutching it tightly
to her chest, Chibi-Usa started to cry. <Mommy... how could I have
wanted to kill you? I want to talk to you... I'm so mixed up. I don't
know what to do. I have no one...>

Chibi-Usa didn't hear the door swing open or the soft footsteps walking
over to her bed. The first thing she knew was someone was rubbing her
back, <Onee-san?> Chibi-Usa really didn't understand it. She was angry
with Usagi but at the same time she really did hope that it was Usagi.

"Chibi-Usa-chan, what's wrong?"

Chibi-Usa turned and was shocked. It was Kenji. Dressed in pajamas and a
bathrobe he looked like he'd just gotten out of bed. Chibi-Usa's heart
sank, not only wasn't it Onee-san but it was Kenji; her mind could only
think of one reason why Kenji would be in here and she didn't like the
prospect.

"Do you miss your parents?" Kenji said softly while lifting Chibi-Usa
out of bed and continuing to rub her back.

Sitting comfortably on Kenji's lap, Chibi-Usa nodded. Kenji smiled
slightly before saying, "I remember when Usagi was little and went to
summer camp. She got really homesick but wouldn't let the camp councilor
call us." Kenji chuckled slightly, "So the fellow got smart and called
us explaining the situation.  So we drove up to camp and surprised her.
We told her that we just missed her too much and would she come home..."

Chibi-Usa sniffled a little before saying, "What happened, Kenji-papa?"

"She stayed and wasn't homesick again. All she needed to know was that
we still cared about her and that we missed her," Kenji comforted. He
had continued rubbing Chibi-Usa's back and it was clear that Chibi-Usa
was starting to settle down slightly. Then he laid her back down and
quietly left.

<Then why can't I tell Usagi that I love her? It was so easy before,>
Chibi-Usa asked herself silently. Sniffling once more she hugged the
last remaining symbol of her onee-san and closed her eyes. Soon drifting
off into sleep, but it wasn't filled with nice dreams, she saw herself
staring back saying over and over again, "I'm going to kill Mommy and
Daddy."

                                  ******

The next shock to occur to Chibi-Usa was in the morning. She got dressed
into her school fuku stopping only once to wonder exactly how she could
actually like school. She passed by Usagi's room and an impulse struck
her, <I'll just wake up that baka!>

She reached up, put her had on the doorknob and was about to open it
when the door suddenly swung inwards. She was pulled into the room and
hit something solid.

Usagi stood there already dressed in her school fuku and smiled, "Good
morning, Chibi-Usa-chan, did you want me to walk you to school?" <Please
say yes, Imouto.>

"Iie, that's for little kids and I'm big... I wouldn't want you to
embarrass me anyway."

Usagi winced at that but said, "Okay, fine." <I have really lost my
imouto. She DOESN'T want me to be her onee-san. I feel so very empty.>

Chibi-Usa watched Usagi go down the stairs, <I think I made Usagi sad. I
could have been nice and let her walk me to school. It wouldn't have
hurt anything. It was fun having Usagi walk me to school before. Now she
won't ever do it.>

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa was thrilled, Usagi had shown up to walk her home. Hiding a
smile Chibi-Usa walked up to Usagi and asked, "What are you doing here?"
<I hope she's not mad at me for this morning.>

"We have to go talk to Mamoru, Chibi-Usa-chan," Usagi replied. She
automatically reached for Chibi-Usa's hand. Chibi-Usa jerked away from
Usagi and glared at her.

"I'm not going to help you get him back!" <What on Earth?! Why do I
think that she wants my help?>

<Well might as well tell her; she hates me!> "Listen spore, I'll get him
back. He told me that you weren't allowed to see him anymore.  I have to
tell him what happened so that he'll let you visit him again."

<Why didn't Usagi tell Mamoru what happened? I don't think he would have
yelled at her.> "Okay let's go," Chibi-Usa conceded but didn't take
Usagi's hand.

                                  ******

Mamoru answered the door and found the two people he didn't really want
to see standing in front of him. "Usagi, I said we were through. I also
told you that Chibi-Usa couldn't see me anymore."

"Mamoru-kun... I need to talk to you and this isn't about US."

Sighing Mamoru let Usagi and Chibi-Usa inside and closed the door. He
went and sat down on the couch, crossed his arms, and waited.  Chibi-Usa
instinctively went to sit down beside Mamoru but was glared down. She
instead perched at the end of the couch.

Usagi shuffled her feet for a few minutes considering whether to tell
everything in front of Chibi-Usa or not. Glancing up she saw Mamoru
becoming impatient so she started her explanation, right from the
beginning.

Mamoru and Usagi were so focused on each other that they failed to
notice Chibi-Usa blush every so often. As Usagi described what the evil
Chibi-Usa had done Chibi-Usa took on a mortified expression. <I knew I
did naughty things but I didn't think I do that! No wonder Usagi doesn't
like me... But this is all Usagi's fault so why should I care; Mamoru
won't be mad at me now and then we can be together again.>

After Usagi's explanation was done Mamoru sat silently for several
minutes. <She thinks I'll blame her, I'll use this against her...>
Mamoru heaved a sigh, "Arigato Usagi-san. Gomen Chibi-Usa-chan, a lot of
stuff now makes sense."

Chibi-Usa happily got up, plopped herself beside Mamoru, and promptly
stuck out her tongue at Usagi. Usagi reacted by lowering her head and
walking towards the door; Mamoru's voice stopped her though.

"Chibi-Usa-chan, you apologize to Usagi."

Chibi-Usa couldn't believe it. Mamoru was making HER apologize?! Looking
at Mamoru he motioned for her to do so. Getting up Chibi-Usa walked over
to stand in front of Usagi and said softly, "Gomen Usagi." <Gomen nasai,
Onee-san.>

Mamoru got up and walked over to Usagi and Chibi-Usa, "Okay
Chibi-Usa-chan, let's set a few ground rules..."

"Rules?" Chibi-Usa whined out, "I hate rules!"

"Rule one... You may only come over here if you come with Usagi or
another grown-up that we both know."

"Usagi?! A grown-up?" Chibi-Usa asked incredulously.

Mamoru ignored the smart mouthed remark and continued, "Rule two... You
will be respectful of Usagi. She has treated you with kindness and she
is older than you." Seeing Chibi-Usa didn't have any smart remark about
that he continued, "Rule three... You will address me as either
Mamoru-kun, Mamoru-san, or even Mamoru-chan. You will NOT address me as
Mamo-chan."

Chibi-Usa didn't look happy at that point, seeing no alternative though,
she complied. "Well if that's settled, Chibi-Usa-chan remember supper is
at five. If you're late, I'll get into trouble." <Maybe that's what she
wants...>

Usagi started for the door and Chibi-Usa followed, <Why doesn't she
stay... I think we could have fun together. We did before.>

"Mamo-cha... Mamoru-kun, could Usagi stay? Please?" <She and Mamoru
should be together...> Chibi-Usa blinked, <Why would I want that?>

Mamoru looked uncomfortable but the choice was taken out of his hands
when Usagi answered, "Iie. I have to go. This is your special time,
Chibi-Usa-chan." As Usagi started to slip out the door Chibi-Usa heard
her whisper, "Besides he doesn't love me anymore."

Chibi-Usa couldn't tell how she felt. On the one hand, she was glad
Usagi was gone. On the other, she'd really like to be able to curl up
between Usagi and Mamoru and go to sleep. She hadn't slept well last
night and what she wanted was warmth, comfort, and security; this was
what Mamoru and Usagi could provide.

                                  ******

The Senshi meeting was rather subdued. The only real business was how
Chibi-Usa was fairing. Rei, as usual, was annoyed when Usagi was several
minutes late and told her so in no uncertain terms.

"I had to tell Mamoru; he wouldn't have let Chibi-Usa come see him if he
hadn't known the truth," Usagi said. <I've done all I can, now I am
truly empty.>

There was a shocked silence, even Rei couldn't believe that Usagi would
give up a prized bargaining chip so easily. "Boy, that kid sure did a
number on you."

Usagi just slumped; she didn't have any wish to fight. All she really
wanted to do was crawl into a hole, curl up, and watch the world go by.
Minako glared at Rei for a few seconds before breaking the awkward
silence.

"Chibi-Usa said her mother's name was Serenity."

"As in `Queen Serenity'?" Makoto asked, eyes wide.

"I don't know, Mako-chan, but that's the only Serenity I know of besides
Usagi's past self," Minako added.

"The probability of Chibi-Usa having a mother named Serenity and having
knowledge of the Ginzuishou without any relationship between them and,
in addition, is not from the Silver Millennium is practically nil." Ami
sighed, <Why is it I have to always restate everything?> "The chance of
Chibi-Usa having a mother named Serenity is small by itself." Ami paused
to make sure the others were following, "The chance of Chibi-Usa knowing
about the Ginzuishou is even smaller. The chance that both occur and
they aren't related to the Silver Millennium is almost impossible."

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?!" Rei asked. Ami slapped
her forehead in disbelief.  "Luna, did Queen Serenity have any other
children?"

Luna looked edgy before saying, "Well... I don't really remember any but
it certainly isn't out of the question. It would explain how Chibi-Usa
knows about Usagi, the Ginzuishou, and have a mother named Serenity."

"That spore my imouto from the Silver Millennium? As if!" A spark of
hope in Usagi's eyes told a different story though. Luna hated to crush
it but why give her false hope.

"I wouldn't worry, Usagi. I can't confirm it and, anyway, Chibi-Usa
needing it for Queen Serenity doesn't make sense. Her Majesty died of
mortal wounds, once she used the Ginzuishou's full power, it claimed her
essence."  That statement pretty much squelched any further talk on the
matter and the Senshi quietly went home.

                                  ******

Later that night found a restless Tsukino home. An arm swung up and
found an empty place. Usagi winced a little as her heart ached. She had
forgotten that Chibi-Usa wasn't in bed next to her. She had gone to hug
the little girl only to find a cold bed.

<Mamoru's gone... Imouto's gone. I am all alone.> Usagi sniffled
slightly, <I tried... I tried to get her back but Chibi-Usa just doesn't
want to. I think she asked if I could stay so that Mamoru would be happy
with her... Why does it have to be like this? Why can't she be my imouto
again, even for a little while?>

Wanting to hug something Usagi took the pillow that Chibi-Usa had used
and hugged it closely to her chest, soft moist tears started to trickle
out of her eyes.

Luna again wished she could comfort this obviously hurting girl.

                                  ******

That morning a hopeful Usagi put the question forth once more,
"Chibi-Usa-chan, would you like me to walk you to school today?"

Chibi-Usa's irritation at not having Usagi read her a story and not
being able to snuggle up and get warm shot down any hope of a civil
response. "Iie Odango Atama... I don't need your klutz attacks to kill
me." She saw Usagi droop slightly, "Your way of punishing me for being
in your room nearly did."

Usagi turned angry. She was furious now, "Well fine, you rotten spore,
walk to school by yourself!" Usagi pushed Chibi-Usa out of her way and
started to pull her door closed. Turning back to face Chibi-Usa, Usagi
continued, "And another thing, I don't want to ever catch you in my room
again or I'll warm your backside until it glows!"  With that Usagi
started for the stairs.

"Oh yeah! You and what army?!" <How did this get going? All I said
was... Oh I could have said that better. I wish I could take it back.
Gomen.>

"What do you know they're back at it again. What a relief!" came
Shingo's voice from the doorway of his room.

"SHUT UP SHINGO!" came the simultaneous response.  Both Usagis glared at
each other for a moment and then headed downstairs.

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa sniffled slightly and tried to push the swing. It just wasn't
fun in the park without somebody watching her. Usagi to Chibi-Usa's
dismay had not come to her school to walk her home. Coming to the park
Chibi-Usa had tried to play but all she could do was remember the really
good time that Usagi and her had when they went to the park.

Chibi-Usa unconsciously giggled at the remembered sight of Usagi stuck
in the slide, <I'd like to do that again...> Chibi-Usa thought, even
that night was fun. <I feel so safe when I'm with Usagi. I don't know
why though. She even let me stay in bed after I woke her up... That
should have surprised me.>

Chibi-Usa tried to ignore the intense emotions of fear she felt when
she was threatened to be removed from Usagi's presence but without
success. <I don't understand... I was more scared of leaving Usagi
than Ikuko-mama being mad.> Remembering how Usagi had comforted her
after Ikuko had left nearly brought Chibi-Usa to tears. <Usagi didn't
have to do that. She was so nice to me...>

"Would you like a push?"

Chibi-Usa jumped at the voice and whirled around, standing there was
Minako. This set the tears flowing, <Usagi bought me Rini and she let me
stay with Minako and Ami and we did have fun together.> She felt herself
being picked up and hugged comfortingly.

"Chibi-Usa-chan, what's the matter?"

<I can't stand it. I have to tell someone. Minako was my onee-san that
day. Onee-san...> "M-Minako-chan... Usagi... Usagi-chan and I are
fighting," the child sobbed, "I don't know what to do. Usagi tries to
be nice to me but all I do is pick on her."

"What do you mean?" Minako asked softly.

"She wanted to walk me to school this morning and I said..." Chibi-Usa
trailed off while flushing. There was a silence for several moments as
Chibi-Usa struggled with her feelings, "I said... that I didn't need one
of her klutz attacks to kill me. The way she punished me for being in
her room nearly did."

"Did you apologize?" Minako asked, <Poor Usagi... First Mamoru then
Chibi-Usa. She was really down... I have to do something to help her out
but what?>

Chibi-Usa sobbed once before saying, "I was going to after school but...
SHE WASN'T THERE! I don't think she'll listen to me again." <Why was I
so mean to her?> "Please don't tell Usagi!"

Minako just hugged the sobbing Chibi-Usa and tried her best to console
the little girl. Her heart was in pain and the only person that could
probably ease it was probably hurting and scared as well.

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa was headed for bed, tapping softly on the door she peeked into
Usagi's room. Usagi was sitting on at her desk scribbling away, a
textbook lay open beside her.

<Usagi's doing homework. She wouldn't want to read me a story.> As if
the thought was a question Usagi said flatly, "Chibi-Usa-san, please
leave. I have homework and you aren't allowed in my room."

Chibi-Usa's head drooped. She softly closed the door and walked to her
own room. The tears weren't long in coming.  <No story, no hug...>
Picking Rini up she snuggled into bed and tried to pretend that Usagi
was there reading a bedtime story to her. <Mommy reads stories but
Usagi's much better at it. She does all the voices and she sometimes
acts it out...> Chibi-Usa giggled but it was only short lived.

Off in the distance there was a crack of thunder and Chibi-Usa yelped.
There was no one there to give her a comforting hug or wipe away her
tears. Snuggling under the covers as much as possible Chibi-Usa clutched
Rini tightly and whimpered, it was going to be a long night.

                                  ******

The next few days proceeded in the same general fashion. Shingo found it
pleasing to finally have someone back on his side. Ikuko tried for the
most part to ignore it. She figured it was a period of readjustment
between the two girls and they were just trying to make up for lost
time. However, as the arguing grew more frequent and Usagi's obvious
depression deepened, Ikuko's patience wore thin.

One afternoon when there was no school Ikuko was in the kitchen trying
vainly to read a recipe. Chibi-Usa and Usagi were in the living room and
whatever they were fighting about was growing in intensity.

Finally her patience snapped and Ikuko marched into the living room.
Usagi was near tears on the couch looking dejectedly at Chibi-Usa who
was standing confidently, hands on hips. Ikuko paused. Chibi-Usa looked
like she was going to say something.

"BAKA ODANGO ATAMA, you know you really aren't very smart. You've been
working on that math homework for two hours now. Why don't you give up
this silly habit? It isn't impressing me any?"

Usagi's lower lip started to tremble slightly, she was about to yell at
Chibi-Usa when she saw her mother standing in the doorway. <What's the
use? Chibi-Usa will get away with it and I'll be in the dog house
again.> Usagi lowered her head just hoping that Chibi-Usa would get
tired of tormenting her and go away.

Usagi glanced up to see the very angry face of her mother looming over
Chibi-Usa, "Young lady, that's just earned you the rest of the day in
your room!"

Chibi-Usa whirled around to see Ikuko glaring at her, "NANI?! You're
grounding ME?"

"You'd better believe it! You march up to your room. I'll get you for
supper but you won't be going anywhere for the rest of today or tonight
so you might as well put your pajamas on."

"But... But... you've never grounded me before!" Chibi-Usa protested.

"Tsukino Usagi get up to your room... NOW!" With that Ikuko pointed
towards the stairs.

Chibi-Usa knew that tone; it was one of authority.  Scurrying up the
stairs Chibi-Usa thought, <Boy she could pass for my mommy sometimes!>

                                  ******

"Usagi!" Minako called out, "Usagi-chan, wait up!"

Usagi came to a halt and waited for her friend to catch up, "Hi
Minako-chan, what's up?"

"Usagi-chan, are you still upset about Chibi-Usa?" Minako questioned.
Usagi's happy expression disappeared. "You should really try and make up
with her."

"Who wants that spore as an imouto? The pest is just like Shingo, a real
royal pain in the butt!" <And I love them both.>

"You're not fooling me, Usagi-chan. You care about that little girl far
more than you are letting on. I can see it in your eyes."

A pained expression crossed Usagi's face, "Mina! You don't know
anything!" With that Usagi took off down the street. Minako was stunned;
she'd really struck a nerve.

                                  ******

Tuxedo Kamen was perched above Minako's bedroom window. Even though he'd
been actively avoiding Usagi, Mamoru couldn't help but notice her
depression. He had seen it himself, heard about it from Motoki, and even
Chibi-Usa had hinted that there was a real problem. He wanted to know
more and now he was listening covertly to Minako and Artemis conversing.

"I feel really bad, Artemis. I mean I didn't think that pushing her like
that would make her hurt so much!"

"Minako-chan, you shouldn't let this bother you. Usagi's is still
hurting and you just put a little salt onto the wound by accident. It
isn't like she'll hate you."

"I know Artemis... I just wish I could do something to help Usagi. What
I need is a plan. A plan that even Chibi-Usa would be willing to help
with."

Tuxedo Kamen had an idea and it was a great opening. Leaping from the
rooftop to the nearby tree Tuxedo Kamen only checked to make sure the
window was open before diving into the room.

He heard Artemis give a mighty yowl as he landed behind the bed. Tuxedo
Kamen's head popped up and he was about to offer his apology for the
abruptness of his entry when heard a rather strange attack phrase...

"MINAKO STUFFED ANIMAL ATTACK!"
