Chibi-Usa Times Two

Part 7:  Revelations.



With a mighty heave Chibi-Usa threw the rock. It sailed over the head of

one of the police officers who fortunately ducked. His partner ran

towards Chibi-Usa and grabbed both of her hands while saying, "That

wasn't very polite for a young lady to do."



Chibi-Usa's response was a snarl of rage and kicking the officer in the

shin, "LET ME GO! YOU DARE TOUCH ROYALTY!!!"



The officer grunted but kept his grip firmly on the struggling child.

The second officer came jogging over to see if his partner needed help.

He looked at Chibi-Usa from a few meters away. "Why are you out this

late throwing rocks, little girl?"



"Back off, jackass! I was playing!" Chibi-Usa shouted. <How dare they!

When I have the Ginzuishou I'll teach them! I'll teach them all! Where's

Luna-P?!? That BAKA `Chibi-Usa' must have taken it.>



"Well, what do you think?" the one officer asked.



"I say we find out where she lives... Now, young lady, where do you live

and we'll take you home to your parents."



<Hmmm.... Mamoru's? No these baka cops wouldn't believe it and it might

get him in trouble... Certainly not to any of `Chibi-Usa's' baka

friends...> As Chibi-Usa was thinking that, the radio in the police car

crackled into life. The officer who had been standing in front of her

walked over and answered. After a few seconds he came back and said, "A

missing persons report just came out and you seem to match the

description pretty well. You have a choice, little girl: now either you

can tell us where you live and we take you home, or we'll take you down

to Juvenile Hall and call these worried people to come see if you're the

girl they're looking for..."



"You wouldn't dare to that to royalty!"



"Just try me."



<Juvenile Hall... Me, a lady of grace and elegance, tossed in with

common low life!  And they just might keep me there... Anything that

old hag would do is better than that. But I'll only play along long

enough to get out of that hell hole. Hmmm, those `Sisters' that were

after me seem more my style...> "Okay, I'll tell you where I live."

Chibi-Usa smiled slightly as she told the officers where the Tsukino

residence was.



                                  ******



Flashing lights were the first sign that something was amiss. Quietly

Usagi and Shingo along with Luna crept down the stairs. Shingo was

enjoying Chibi-Usa's plight immensely. Ikuko was sitting at the kitchen

table with red rimmed eyes but the expression on her face was very hard

to read. She was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Kenji had

one hand firmly clamped to Chibi-Usa's shoulder while he talked to two

of Tokyo's finest.



Usagi had never seen her father this furious before. Sure she seen him

mad but never this mad. As her father bid the officers goodnight, bowed,

and apologized for disturbing them; she could detect a slight shaking.

After he closed the door his voice was monotone in nature and very low,

loud enough for those listening to him but certainly not his normal

level. Usagi knew this meant trouble for Chibi-Usa.



"Property damage... curfew violation... being brought home by the

police... disrespect for your elders... dishonoring your family..."



"Oh get a grip, old man!" Chibi-Usa said, "I mean I was just having

fun..." <I'm sure he'll be more understanding of royalty than that old

hag.>



"HAVING FUN?!!!" Kenji's voice boomed.



Usagi and Shingo jumped and scurried up the stairs praying their father

hadn't noticed them. Luckily, he was far too engrossed in the situation

to pay attention to them. Luna stayed downstairs to observe what would

happen. Ikuko had gotten up from the kitchen table and walked over to

stand in front of Chibi-Usa.



"I will call your parents tomorrow... You will apologize to those shop

owners and..." She was cut off by Chibi-Usa's sneer.



"Shut up, you old wrinkled thing! You can't make me do anything. I only

came back here to stop them from putting me in that awful place for

commoners. It's no place for royalty like myself. I'll do what I like

when I like."



Ikuko had inhaled sharply, she wasn't used to this. The strain finally

got to her and she ran up the stairs in tears. Kenji wasn't about to let

that remark slide. Picking Chibi-Usa up and firmly placing her under one

arm, he went up the stairs.



"Just what do you think you're doing? Let go of me, baka! I command

you!" Chibi-Usa asked, "This is certainly not the way to treat royalty

and I have other matters to take care of." <He's just as baka as the old

hag.>



"I'm taking care of `other matters'," Kenji answered in a controlled

voice. He stalked passed Usagi's room. Luna paused but then continued to

follow. She wanted to be able to tell Usagi what happened. She slipped

in before Kenji closed the door.



It suddenly dawned on Chibi-Usa exactly what Kenji was going to do so

she started to struggle. <I will simply not allow this!> Chibi-Usa

thought but she was having even less luck than she had with Ikuko.

Kenji was apparently ready for her tricks.



Sitting down he placed the child across his lap and spanked her soundly.

After several seconds he placed the crying child on the bed and headed

towards the door, "I expect you to be in bed, young lady, when I get

back... I'll tolerate none of your nonsense. Don't you think I won't

spank you again." With that Kenji left the room and went into his own to

comfort his wife.



Chibi-Usa changed into the bunny pajamas she dispised and hopped into

bed. <You just wait baka. Come and check on me, then I'll leave! I've

had all of this that I'm going to take. I'm going to go where I'll be

treated with the `dignity and respect' that royalty like ME deserves.>

She brushed away some tears from her eyes and laid on her side, <I'll

get Rubeus to help me get the Ginzuishou and then I'll get all the baka

back that were mean to me!>



After several minutes Kenji came back in and decreed while turning out

the lights, "No more... This dishonorable behavior stops here and now...

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!!"



"Hai," came the harsh reply. <Old baka.>



Kenji started towards the bed but thought better of it. Bidding the

sulking child goodnight, he left and shut the door. Unobserved by either

human, Luna watched from a corner in the room. After a few moments,

Chibi-Usa slipped out of bed, changed into a more `appropriate' outfit,

and went out the window taking several pieces of clothing with her.

Chibi-Usa looked back, shook her fist, and swore revenge. No one saw or

heard her but Luna.



A moment later, Luna followed her. <No time to tell Usagi. I've got to

keep track of her. With the state she's in, there's no telling what

she'll do.> She hopped up on the roof and then down to Usagi's window.

She'd have to tell Usagi that time had just run out on their deal.

<Gomen Usagi. The danger is too great. When I get back, the Senshi must

be told.> Both Chibi-Usa and Luna disappeared into the Tokyo night.



                                  ******



Ami stirred slightly, she could hear a noise. She laid in bed eyes

closed trying to figure out what it was. It soon became obvious that it

was Chibi-Usa who was snuggled up beside her. Turning her head she

opened her eyes and could see the tears reflecting the moonlight

filtering through the window on her face.



<She's been so nice. Why would she be crying?> "What's wrong,

Chibi-Usa-chan?" Ami asked softly.



Chibi-Usa sobbed a little before choking out, "Gomen Ami-chan, I didn't

mean to wake you up."



Ami sat up and pulled the child into an hug, "Don't worry about it. Now

what's the matter? Don't you feel good, little one?"



It was several seconds before Chibi-Usa answered, "I really want

Onee-san to let me come home. I do like staying with you but I want my

Onee-san..." Chibi-Usa sobbed a couple more times before continuing,

"I've been here a long time but Onee-san still won't let me come

home..." then in an almost inaudible voice Chibi-Usa said, "She must

hate me."



Ami wasn't really sure what to do, she'd never had to deal with this

type of situation before. A sick child she could handle... but a

homesick child was a different story.  "Do you want me to call

Usagi-chan and have her come and get you?"



"IIE!" Chibi-Usa nearly shouted, "Onee-san said I had to stay here!"

Chibi-Usa gasped, <Oh no, Onee-san told me I wasn't supposed to tell Ami

that she said I had to stay here. She'll hate me more now.> This

realization just caused the very miserable child to sink even further.

Burying her head in Ami's shoulder she just let vent to all the

frustration of the past few days, <What's going on... I... I just so

mixed up.>



Ami was also in shock from what Chibi-Usa revealed. <This is strange...

I really think I should talk to Usagi. She obviously knows something

about this mystery. Even after all my analysis, I can't solve it and

this child is suffering for it. She doesn't deserve it.> Picking

Chibi-Usa up, who still had her head snuggled into Ami's shoulder but

had run dry of tears, Ami walked down the hall to the bathroom and set

the child on the counter beside the wash basin.



She released her hold and drew away. Chibi-Usa seemed embarrassed by her

actions and so didn't look at Ami. Ami got out a washcloth, dampened it

with water, lifted her tear streaked face, and started to gently wipe

away her tears.



After she was done Ami said, "Now you look more like that kawaii little

girl that's staying with me."  Chibi-Usa managed to smile at the

complement, "You know, you really do look like Usagi-chan."



"You really think so? When I grow up I hope I'll be as pretty as

Onee-san."



"Hai." <She really loves Usagi.> Ami smiled and continued, "I'm very

sure that she cares about you very much..."



"Onee-san said... she loved me," Chibi-Usa mumbled out.



"Well if she said that, then she DOES love you. Usagi-chan wouldn't lie

about something like that," Ami put in. She noticed that Chibi-Usa was

starting to come out of her depression slightly, <Child psychology isn't

so difficult once you get the hang of it. I will have to get some more

books on it from the library.> "Now what if tomorrow we both ask Usagi

if you can come back home?"



"Hai, arigato Ami-chan." <She's really nice. I see why she's Onee-san's

friend.>



Picking Chibi-Usa back up she said, "You're welcome, Chibi-Usa-chan..."

Walking back to her room Ami tucked the little girl into bed and said,

"I'll be back in a few minutes.  You try and go to sleep, okay little

one?"



"Hai."  And with that Chibi-Usa snuggled under the covers. She was at

least a little happier and was soon dreaming that she was with her

Onee-san and her mommy.



                                  ******



Ami walked down to the kitchen and was glad her mother was working the

late shift. She would have appreciated her mother's advice but she now

was considering calling Usagi on the communicator, then she hesitated.

If she pushed Usagi, she just might clam up tighter and this mystery

would only grow.



That's when the communicator beeped. Jumping slightly Ami answered. <Who

would be calling me at this hour?>  She was even more surprised to hear

Usagi's voice come over clearly.



"Ami-chan, did I wake you?"



"No... I was about to call you?" Ami said.



"Ami-chan, is your mom home?"



Ami's curiosity piqued, "No she's working tonight. Why?"



"I'm on my way over. Meet me at the front door and please make sure

Chibi-Usa doesn't know."  With that Usagi cut the connection before Ami

could inquire further. Things had certainly turned more interesting.



                                  ******



Luna had followed the evil Chibi-Usa twin to a hotel. She had crept

behind the front desk and grabbed a room key. Fiddling with the computer

she marked the room as occupied and paid in full. Luna wondered what

she'd do next but the only thing she did do was lounge around the room

plotting revenge on the Tsukinos. Figuring that she'd stay there for a

little while, Luna had run back to Usagi and promptly told her what the

situation was.



To her surprise Usagi hadn't put up much of a fuss over having to tell

the other Senshi what she did. Now Usagi was heading over to Ami's to

retrieve the good one to take the evil one's place. Luna herself was on

her way back to the hotel to keep tabs on the evil one.



Sitting outside on the balcony Luna thought, <I have a feeling this is

going to get really really confusing!>



                                  ******



Ami opened the door to a haggard looking Usagi who slipped into the

house. They entered the living room and sat on the couch. Usagi caught

her breath and seemed to be stalling for a little time. Ami was just

about to throttle her friend when Usagi opened up with all guns and

spilled everything that happened over the past week.



Needless to say Ami was not pleased, "Usagi, I told you that it would

probably go away in a few days. If you were having that much trouble,

why didn't you simply tell us? We might have tried something else!"



"Ami-chan, please. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but I was mad. I

like Chibi-Usa but I thought that if I healed her like I did Alan and

Ann, I could get her back to her normal self..."



"Well that certainly ISN'T her normal self.  Are you sure you didn't do

something else as well?" <The poor little girl.>



"Err... well... I might have... kinda... wished for her to be ah... a

little nicer."



"YOU WHAT?!!"  Ami was now angry, a state which she rarely got in. <Of

all the lame, baka things to do!>



"Keep it down... I don't want her to hear this."



It was too late. "ONEE-SAN!!!" Chibi-Usa shouted with surprise and

relief. She threw herself at Usagi who managed to catch her, "What are

you doing here? Why were you and Ami-chan fighting?"  Chibi-Usa lost her

smile and lowered her head as she blushed. She'd just admitted to

listening in on a conversation. <That wasn't polite... I've tried so

hard! She'll be mad.> A small sniffle escaped her.



Usagi smiled and hugged Chibi-Usa glad to see the little girl was okay.

She looked over at Ami who was frowning, "Usagi-chan, you're going to

have to tell her."



"No... It would be dangerous if I tell her... She might actually want to

well... make friends."  Usagi grimaced, she could just imagine what the

evil one would do.



"USAGI!" Ami said exasperatedly, "She has a right to know... You did

this to her! You HAVE to tell her!"



The two older girls glared at each other over the top of Chibi-Usa's

head.  She was trying not to get involved. <Why are you fighting about

me?> All she really wanted to do was go home with her Onee-san and have

things be nice and quiet. Tears were about to form knowing she was the

cause of this fight.



"You'll need her to use Luna-P on your parents you know... It wouldn't

be fair to let her walk back into that house considering what..."



"Okay! Okay!" Usagi cut Ami off, "Ami-chan, could we have a few minutes

alone, please?"



Ami nodded and left the room.  Usagi got up and placed Chibi-Usa on the

couch, kneeling in front of her. Usagi took a few breaths to steel

herself. She really didn't want to tell this little girl what she'd

done.



In the silence that followed Chibi-Usa made her bid to go home,

"Onee-san, please can I go home with you? I've tried to be really good

and I'm so mixed up about the past little bit that I don't know what's

going on!" <Please Onee-san?>



Usagi ignored the question and launched into her explanation, "Imouto,

you can come home... but you have to use Luna-P to make Mom, Dad, and

Shingo forget all the bad things you did."  Seeing the panicked

expression that came onto Chibi-Usa's face Usagi continued, "Let me

explain... Do you remember about a week ago that you messed up my room?"

Chibi-Usa nodded but there were tears now in her eyes. She did not want

to be reminded of her previous bad behavior. "Well do you remember what

happened before you helped me clean up the room?"



Chibi-Usa scrunched her face up in concentration before saying, "I think

you were going to spank me but I'm not sure... I remember you coming in

and then us yelling but..." she trailed off and shrugged.



"Imouto, you had Dark Energy in you from the time Rubeus nearly caught

you. You remember that?"  Chibi-Usa nodded, "Well you started to do

things that you normally wouldn't... Bad things like throwing water

balloons and messing up the kitchen, do you understand?" and a tentative

nod, "When I saw you wrecking my room I got really mad. You wanted the

Ginzuishou and I was tired of you being naughty and well..."  Usagi

trailed off and looked away for a few seconds.



"And what, Onee-san?" came the small voice. <I already know this. Are

you still mad at me for doing those things?>



Turning back Usagi said, "I thought that it was the Dark Energy that was

making you be naughty so I used the Ginzuishou to heal you... I wanted

you to be good again and well something went wrong." Usagi paused again.

The child was confused but Usagi continued, "I wished you could be a

nicer little girl than you were before and so the Ginzuishou granted my

wish. It cut you in half. All the good behavior went to you and all the

naughty behavior went to another Chibi-Usa. Gomen nasai, Chibi-Usa-san."

Usagi bowed her head hoping Chibi-Usa would understand and forgive her.



"I don't get it," Chibi-Usa said thoroughly confused. <Why is Onee-san

saying she's sorry?> Usagi gave a small cry of frustration and buried

her face in the couch.



                                  ******



It had all been by accident. After getting a place to stay at the hotel

Chibi-Usa had gone back out to do some shopping and plan out how she'd

contact those Sisters. She'd just started down towards the seedier night

time establishments when who should she see but Beruche coming down the

street. Luna was still trailing her.



Walking up to her, Chibi-Usa demanded, "Take me to see Rubeus... I have

a proposition for him."



"Rabbit?!" Beruche was surprised to see the Rabbit and even more so to

hear her demand to see Rubeus... <This is wonderful. Rubeus will be so

pleased. Maybe I'll be able to gain his favor over the others and get

some special treatment like Cooan.>



"Call me `Rabbit' again and DIE!" Beruche was shocked by the Rabbit's

apparent lack of fear. She just stood and stared. After a moment

Chibi-Usa continued, "What are you waiting for? I, the Princess of

Crystal Tokyo, command you to take me to Rubeus!"



"Hai, Your Highness..." Beruche said and they both walked over to an

alleyway and teleported.



Luna stood stunned, <This has just gotten serious!>
