ChibiUsa asked, pacing back and forth. They had received a call several days before that Duo had saved Usagi and they were on their way home. "They should be back in a about an hour, Koneko." Haruka said to the young girl. "A whole hour?" ChibiUsa asked. "That’s toooo long." ChibiUsa whined. "Don’t worry, Small Rabbit, they’ll be here soon." Sailor Pluto said, putting a hand on the child’s shoulder. "I know, but I was worried about her. If anything happens to her then I.." ChibiUsa trailed off. "Don’t worry, Duo won’t let anything happen to Usagi," Pluto reassured the child. "We have much bigger problems to worry about, though." "What do you mean?" ChibiUsa asked. "Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough." Pluto stated, her voice trailing off. **** "Are you sure you’re all right?" Duo asked Usagi, putting his hand on top of hers. "I’m fine." Usagi said, giving him one of her normal smiles. She touched her stomach, knowing that the reason ChibiUsa had been born was not because of Duo. ‘I’m too young.’ Usagi thought to herself. ‘I’m not even the Queen yet’. "We’ll be back soon," Duo said, putting his hand back on the wheel. "In about an hour." Usagi looked up at Duo, putting her arm on his shoulder. "How’s your arm?" Usagi asked. "Do you need me to take over?" "No way!! I don’t trust your driving!!" Duo practically shouted. "I’m a good driver!!" Usagi protested. "If you call good almost hitting an SUV, going into a ditch, and rear ending another semi, then I guess you’re a great driver." Duo said, laughing to himself. "Hey! None of those were my fault!!" Usagi protested. "I guess it was the ghost’s fault that you almost wrecked three times then." Duo said sarcastically. Usagi crossed her arms over her chest, pouting slightly. **** "Look, there they are!!" ChibiUsa cried, seeing a huge semi truck pull up outside the small house. She saw Duo helping Usagi out of the truck she immediately ran to Duo, jumped into his arms. She did now know that he had been shot and he cringed in pain as he held her up with his bad arm, but he said nothing. "Get down brat!" Usagi snapped. "Can’t you see that he was shot?" "What?" ChibiUsa jumped out of Duo’s arms, seeing that he was limping slightly. "I’m sorry Daddy." ChibiUsa said, hugging him gently. "It’s all right, Koneko." Duo said, returning the hug. ChibiUsa turned to Usagi, walking in front of her. She stopped in front of Usagi, looking at her future mother. Out of nowhere, she flung her arms around Usagi, crying into Usagi’s shoulder. Usagi kneeled by the child’s side, stroking her hair that hung loosely down her back. "I was so scared!" ChibiUsa cried, tightening her hug around Usagi’s shoulders. It was like Usagi wouldn’t be there if she let go. "I know ChibiUsa.." Usagi whispered, her own tears sliding down her pale cheeks. "I’m afraid it’s not over." Sailor Pluto said, interrupted the little reunion. "What do you mean?" Usagi asked. "There is an evil force headed here. It followed you through the dimensions and is more powerful than anything you have faced in the past." Sailor Pluto said. "I.. I don’t know if I can do it.." Usagi said, touching her stomach again. "You have to, there’s no other way." Sailor Pluto said. "But what about ChibiUsa? I can’t put her at any risk." Usagi said quietly. ‘I’m too young’. Usagi thought to herself, knowing well what was wrong with her. "You must do what you have to do," Sailor Pluto said. "This new evil is coming and there is no way to stop it. It will destroy this world and eventually, it will destroy every world unless you stop it.."
