after Part #6. Part #4 and Part #5 are mainly to establish a routine for
Chibi-Usa and get her used to the Tsukino home.Sho: nice start so far!

Part IV - A new friendNene:Senshis?

Jiro: Hope it's not Endimyon
Sho and Nene: Why not?
(Jiro hands Sho and Nene the previous parts of Mama's Hands, Sho screams 
and the Guyver unit engulfs him, Nene begins to smash things)
Jiro: Guys, it's Starting (gives the others "the look", they nod 
sheepishly and take their seats)

As the hall clock struck eight that evening, Usagi softly padded across
her room and entered into the hallway before drawing the door closed.
She gave a little sigh and rested her palm upon the door for a moment.
<She's asleep. I hope she doesn't have any bad dreams,> Usagi thought.(Jiro silently curses as he glows)
"Is she asleep?" came the soft voice of her mother. Usagi turned and saw
Ikuko standing in the hallway.

"Oh Mom!" Usagi gave a small cry and wrapped her arms around her mother,
"What type of monster does THAT?"Sho: The monster that deserves this! (Fires a Mega-smasher)

Jiro nods with enthusiasm as he sharpens Tenshi-Maru on a Runed Millstone

"Shhh..." Ikuko said softly stroking her daughter's hair, "You don't
want Chibi-Usa to hear you." She hugged her daughter comfortingly and
said, "Usagi-chan, Haruna-san thinks that it might be her father. What
ever you feel though, don't call him a monster."Nene:Why not!!? that's what he is right?
"But why? Why does he deserve respect?!?" Usagi asked forcefully.Nene: I asked the same thing, that (CENSORED) son of a(CENSORED) is 

nothing but a freaking sadist!!!
(Jiro and Sho restrain Nene as she struggles)

"Because Chibi-Usa might still look to him for love. I'm not saying to
respect him. Just be careful about what you call him when she's around."

Jiro:Poor Chibi, giving love but not recieving any in return *sniff*
(Nene hands Jiro a napkin)

Giving her daughter a kiss on the forehead, Ikuko continued,
"Usagi-chan, she's going to look up to you an awful lot for a while. I
think that sometimes it'll be rough."Jiro:Don't worry Ikuko-mama, Usagi-sama can handle it
"I know, Mom," Usagi said, drawing warmth from her own mother, "I want
to help though. I HAVE to help." She let the hug go when she noticed a
black form looking at her worriedly. "Luna!" Usagi called, "Where have
you been?" Luna mewed and scampered over to Usagi who picked her up.
"I see she came back," Ikuko said. "Now don't stay up too late,
Usagi-chan," Ikuko cautioned her daughter. "Good night."

"Good night, Mom," Usagi called. She watched her mother enter her
bedroom before closing the door. "Luna, we gotta talk," Usagi said
seriously.

"Usagi, talk seriously? Is this about Mamoru?!?" Luna asked softly.Jiro:BAKA Neko!!!! This is serious stuff

Sho:Come to think of it Usagi does appear to be serious only when talking 
about Mamoru
Nene:Isn't Mamoru Endymion?

"Luna no baka!" Usagi hissed and started off toward the kitchen. In a
louder voice Usagi said, "Come on, Luna, I'll get you something to eat."
Luna was about to say something but her stomach had the final word. It
liked the idea of food.Jiro:Cats ! go figure! 
                                  ******

The cream in Luna's stomach sat heavily as Usagi finished explaining the day's events. The black Lunar cat growled and thrashed her tail 

about.
Jiro:*Luna voice* hmmm Endymion as a scratching post....

She looked at Usagi and said, "I'm glad to see you're taking this
seriously." Usagi took on a hurt expression but Luna didn't allow the
retort to come, "Usagi, when we were fighting Beryl, you were one of the
most irresponsible people I knew. When Ail and Ann came you matured
SLIGHTLY."All: That's true!
Usagi felt annoyed but she could understand what Luna was saying. "I
think I acted that way to cover up that I was scared," she said after a
brief pause, "But Chibi-Usa needs someone and, like Mom was saying,
Chibi-Usa's looking toward me for comfort." She looked at Luna and(Jiro begins to sing Halleluia upon Usagi's maturity, the others cover 

their ears)
 said, "Would you help, Luna? I think what Chibi-Usa needs is a friend. 
Someone to talk to that isn't her 'Mommy'."
All: (finally getting it) oh so she's...

"What about your mom?"  
"No," Usagi said while shaking her head, "Chibi-Usa's scared of her.
She needs 'something' she thinks will be non-threatening and that
something won't be human."Jiro: P-chan!

Sho:Mokona!

"I'll do what I can, Usagi. I can't promise anything. If her story is
true, then something's happened to me." Luna shivered, <And something
awful happened to Serenity. I won't say anything until I'm sure though.
Usagi is worried enough as it is.>(The three reviewers once again go amuck, Jiro summons the Nemesis armour 

from Subspace, while Guyver extends his blades as Nene just starts to 
smash things)
Jiro:*Shouting* I'll save you Serenity-sama 

"You're the best, Luna." Stretching Usagi yawned and commented, "Well
I'm going to bed now. Good night, Luna."
"Good night, Usagi-chan," Luna replied, "I'll be up in a few minutes."
Nodding, Usagi left the room, leaving Luna alone with her thoughts.

                                  ******

Her first conscious sensation was of the cold floor against her bare
skin. It was slightly damp, rough but in away soothing to her aching
back and shoulders. Her head was gently supported and someone was slowly pouring something into her mouth.

Jiro/Nemesis: If it's that Sadist freak again I'll... (seethes in 
suppressed rage)

Too weak to protest, Serenity swallowed. The liquid slid easily down her hoarse throat, coating it and soothing it in a lining of icy liquid.
The voice, when the mysterious person finally spoke, seemed distant
somehow and very hazy.

"My Queen?" Serenity tried to claw her way back to some semblance of
coherence, "Serenity-sama, it will be all right."Jiro:Serenity-sama? is Konatsu making a guest appearance?
<'Serenity-sama'???> Serenity questioned hazily in her thoughts, <Who is left that would call me that?> Certainly the Palace staff but none 

would come down here. It was unlikely that Endymion would order them down 
here to tend to her. <Pluto?> She tried to see but her vision was a mass 
of dark blurs within darker blurs. 
Jiro/Nemesis:He blinded her!!!arrgh (Thinks of a billion ways to make 
Endymion suffer berfore cutting his *BEEP* and then ending his *CENSORED* 
life)
Sho/Guyver:She's his wife for christsake!
Nene:And to think I found him cute in that Tuxedo (begins to hurl)
Jiro/Nemesis:Feel better?
Nene:No, not until that sicko pays!
"Pluto?" she asked weakly, softly.

"Yes, My Queen." The voice sounded clearer, "When you sent Small Lady
back into time then I was free to act. I did not want to risk her
safety." Pluto shifted slightly and said, "I'm here to help you as
well."Sho:'Bout time!
"No Pluto," Serenity said softly, "This is the wrong timeline. Something
must be corrected. I belong here. They say hindsight is perfect. In my
case, it is all too clear. I allowed this to happen. I could have sent
Small Lady away but I thought it would stop." Serenity flushed slightly,
<It had started out as some harmless fun, experimentation, but... it got out of hand. Then when Small Lady was born, he carried the violant 

part over to her.> A small sob escaped her.
Jiro: Doug-san,are you implying that Usagi-sama is a masochist?

"I am the Guardian of Time. I may not interfere," Pluto intoned. If
Serenity had seen the Senshi of Time's facial expression though, it was
likely that Pluto was already interfering more then she liked.

"Pluto, you are shielding the memory of Small Lady from Endymion, aren't
you?" Pluto remained silently.Jiro:*shocked* I think that's supposed to be silent

 Sighing slightly, Serenity said, "Pluto,

you gave an oath to Queen Serenity of the Silver Millennium to guard
time. I relieve you of that oath; you have done your duty." Coughing
Serenity whispered out, "Pluto, I give you another duty, a new oath.
Protect my daughter. Change her future, if not mine."

"I can not," Pluto said but her usual stubborn tone was gone.Jiro/Nemesis: Why you heartless *BEEEP*!

(The others try to restrain him

"Pluto, I ask you to do this for the Royal House of the Moon as one of
its Senshi. Fulfill this new oath. Help my daughter." The only sounds
were of Pluto's soft breathing and Serenity's weasing breaths, <Please,
Pluto, allow me to have some peace. For when I am gone, I will not
receive any for my own crimes.>All:crimes?
                                  ******

Chibi-Usa clung to Usagi's arm while staring at Luna. It was about eight
o'clock Sunday morning and the little girl had been shocked to see Luna
sleeping on the bed. She gave a nervous shiver but kept her eyes fixed
on the strange cat that was looking at her.

"Chibi-Usa-chan, this is Luna," Usagi said while giving the little girl
a hug, "Luna, this is Chibi-Usa."

"Konnichiwa Luna," Chibi-Usa said softly. <Kawaii... She looks like a
nice kitty.>All:awww!
"Konnichiwa Chibi-Usa-chan," Luna said slowly and took a step forward,
"Did you have a good sleep?" Chibi-Usa krept back trying to keep the
distance between herself and Luna.Jiro: the kid's even afraid of cats

Sho: I don't suppose he trained her in Nekoken.
(The ohters face fault upon hearing this)

"Hai," came the nervous response. "I had good dream. I dreamt that I was always good and Daddy wasn't ever mad at me." Usagi's features 

crumpled slightly but she managed to suppress the sniffle. She could feel 
her eyes misting over.
(Violent outbursts again prominate the scene as the three reviewers 
destroy any likeness of Endymion they see)
Jiro:And to think my girlfriend likes the jerk!

"Why don't you pet Luna," Usagi offered softly, "She likes to be
scratched behind the ears." Luna took another slow step but, unlike
before, Chibi-Usa didn't try to back away.
Jiro:That's it, slow but sure recovery
<Luna's a nice kitty. Mommy says she had good friend who was a kitty
named Luna. Is this the same one?> It appeared so because she was with
her mother and Luna was with her mother so it was a natural conclusion.
<Daddy not say I couldn't talk to Luna or play with her.>Sho:What kind of freak would stop a child from meeting her mother's 

friends?
Nene:The demonic monster we know and hate.
(Jiro merely nods)
 Tentatively,

Chibi-Usa slowly reached out to touch Luna. Luna held still while the
child's fingers brushed against her soft fur. <She's soft,> Chibi-Usa
thought as she reach up behind Luna's ear and gave it a tentative
scratch.

"Hmmm... That was nice, could you do it again?" Luna asked.

"Hai!" Chibi-Usa said with a little more enthusiasm in her voice. She
started to scratch Luna's head gently becoming more comfortable with the
Moon cat as time went on. After a few moments Luna was curled in
Chibi-Usa's lap allowing herself to be petted like a regular cat.

<Oh that feels good!> Luna thought as she purred her pleasure, <I
haven't had this type of treatment in a while.> The very proper cat
stretched and lay lazily in her position of contentment, <I hope this
helps Chibi-Usa. I hope she heals up and that she can learn to trust
others.>Jiro/Nemesis:The only way a traumatised child learns to trust is by being 

given trust and love. 

"See Chibi-Usa-chan, you're doing really well. Luna's purring and that
means she likes it a lot. You're very good at petting her," Usagi
encouraged Chibi-Usa. "I'm just going to go to the bathroom. I'll be
right back, okay?"

"'Kay," Chibi-Usa agreed, the smile that was on her face was nearly
touching both ears. Usagi sighed contentedly. She liked having Chibi-Usa
happy and Luna seemed to be helping quite a bit. <Mommy said I was good
at this. Daddy won't be mad and I like petting Luna. Her fur's so soft
and she's warm... She sounds funny when she purrs.> And for the first
time in a long time, Chibi-Usa giggled. It was one of childish innocence and pure boundless joy.

                                  ******

When Usagi came back she found that Luna and Chibi-Usa were having a
serious discussion. Luna was telling Chibi-Usa all about cats and what
the difference was between Moon cats and Earth cats. Usagi smiled happy
to see that Chibi-Usa seemed to be comfortable around Luna.

"So you're a 'space' kitty?!?" Chibi-Usa asked in wonder, "Where's your
thingy?'

"Thingy?" Luna questioned.Sho: Ummm.. Luna's a girl right?

Jiro: You're point being?
Sho:Girls don't have thingies
Nene:(Punts Sho to LEO)Hentai!

"Yay, the thing that sticks out the top of your head."Jiro: I think thats yes or ya
"You mean my antenna?" Chibi-Usa nodded. "Well we don't have antennae,"
Luna admitted, a dejected look briefly flitted across Chibi-Usa's
features before the smile returned. "We have a crescent moon instead,"
Luna said while pointing to the crescent moon on her forehead.

"I hate to interrupt you two but what's Chibi-Usa gonna wear?" Usagi
asked, "I mean that pajama top's good for sleeping in but..."
"Do you have any clean underpants that are small on you?" Luna asked.
She noted that Usagi blushed at such a personal question, "Well, Usagi,
we are all girls here."(Nene begins to shoo the male reviewers out) 
"Let's see," Usagi said and dug through one of her drawers. "Well I
thing this is about the smallest I have," Usagi said holding up one
particular pair of underpants. "We'll try them on after I put on the
salve. I think her track pants are okay, Luna?"

"Mommy?" Chibi-Usa asked softly.

"Hmmm?" Usagi questioned while raising her head.

"Could I stay in this?" Chibi-Usa asked indicating the pajama top, "It's
nice." Usagi got up from her position and went to sit on the bed, "I
like wearing this. It doesn't hurt my bum."Jiro?Nemesis:excues me! (cuts a portal using Tenshimaru and goes in)
"Well that's a pajama top," Usagi said. She looked at the little girl
for a few minutes before saying, "I got an idea." She smiled. "Well
let's get you ready. First, do you have to use the bathroom?"

"Hai."

"Okay then, do you remember where it is?"Nene: Usagi-chan, she ain't a Hibiki.

Sho:What makes you so sure, remember the jerk did saythat Chibi's not 
his. 
Nene:Shut up! (bonks Sho and punts him again to LEO)

Chibi-Usa nodded, then said, "Mommy, will you wait outside?" She looked
hopefully at Usagi.

"Okay, then I'll put some salve on. We'll get you dressed after that,
ne?" Chibi-Usa nodded and gave Usagi a hug, Usagi hugged her back and
said, "You're very good, and I love you."

"I love you too, Mommy," Chibi-Usa said. <I like Luna and Mommy's really neat!> She felt warm and safe. It was an unusual and infrequent 

feeling.
(Jiro returns, the Nemesis armour appears to be smeared with blood, and 
the Tenshimaru's golden blade is now crimson)

Chibi-Usa was determined to be good. <I want Daddy to love me too and if I'm good, he will,> she thought.

Jiro/Nemesis:not too likely hon, your dad's a real *CENSORED*
 Taking Usagi's hand, she started towards the bedroom door leaving Luna 
to wonder what Usagi's plan was.

                                  ******

About twenty minutes later Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Luna headed down stairs
for breakfast. "Well Mom?" Usagi asked as she and Chibi-Usa entered the
kitchen, "What do you think?" Luna came in close behind Usagi and had to admit to herself that Usagi's idea had some merit.

Ikuko turned around at her daughter's voice and stared for a moment at
Chibi-Usa. She seemed to be wearing only a pink sweater that was just a
too little big for her. The sweater came to below Chibi-Usa's knees and
the sleeves were bunched up so that only her hands were sticking out.
<Oh, the poor thing!> Ikuko thought and fought the urge to chuckle.
"Well now you look very kawaii," Ikuko said.All: we think so too!
"Domo Arigato, Obaa-san," Chibi-Usa said politely, "Mommy said I look
kawaii in this too." She hugged her mother's leg and looked at Ikuko,
"It's okay if I wear this?"

"Hai," Ikuko nodded, "I'll go out and get you some clothes tomorrow.
Why don't you go sit at the table. I want to talk to Usagi for a
minute."

Chibi-Usa didn't like that idea but Usagi said, "Why don't you take Luna
with you. She won't let anything bad happen. And when you sit in your
chair, you can see me." Reluctantly Chibi-Usa nodded and, after picking
up Luna, walked towards the chair that she had sat in the night before.

"Usagi, is she wearing any underpants?" Ikuko asked softly after walking closer to her daughter.

"Hai, a pair that was a too small for me. The sweater shrunk and I
thought she'd look kawaii in it," Usagi said, "The medicine's working
too because the welts aren't as red. I think they're still sore but they aren't as red as they were."

Jiro:I'd like to give Endymion some welts of his own, Let's see if he 
likes it! (Holds up a laser whip)

"Good, I'll pick her up some clothes tomorrow after you get back from
school." Usagi paled slightly at the thought of school. "It'll be tough
on her so maybe you should tell her about school tonight so she isn't
surprised when you go running off tomorrow."Nrnr:*snickers* emphasis on running
"Okay Mom," Usagi said. She noticed that Chibi-Usa was looking
pleadingly at her, "I better go sit by her. She's still pretty nervous.
I hope she can get to trust you though. I mean you wouldn't hurt her or
anything." Usagi was about to walk away but Ikuko stopped her by placing a hand on Usagi's arm.
"Usagi, I know this might not need to be said but I just want to be
clear. If the time comes that Chibi-Usa does do something `bad', I want
you to be very careful what you say and do. She's still very timid and,
right at the moment, you are the only one that she really trusts."Jiro: a bad word could destroy what they've tried to work for
Usagi took on a hurt expression but didn't say anything. After looking
at her mother for several seconds, she slowly made her way towards the
table where Chibi-Usa was sitting. Luna was sitting in the litttle
girls lap. <How could Mom think that I'd ever hurt her?> Usagi thought
numbly as she sat down, <I mean I want to find that monster and hurt
him.> She looked over and brushed Chibi-Usa's hair out of the girl's
face. "I'm sorry I couldn't get the hang of those `rabbit' ear odangos."
Usagi had spent several unproductive minutes trying to put the little
girl's odangos up in the original style but hadn't been able to. "But
you look very pretty with your hair down."Jiro:Typical Usagi

(The other two nod in agreement)

"Arigato Mommy," Chibi-Usa said, "May I please have some milk?" She
started to stroke Luna's fur again. <Luna and Mommy love me and soon
Daddy will too!>Jiro:Let's see first I'll skin him alive, put vinigar on his 

wounds,insert diluted AIDS infected blood in his bloodstream then..
Sho:Whoh, Don't get too caried away 

"Hai, I'll get you a glass," Usagi said. <My little one, I'll have to
tell the Senshi about this but not now. Right now, I'm needed and I
think that's great.>
End of Part IV
Jiro: Very nice, you did well on toning down the violence.

Sho:Everyone was in character except Chibi but under the sircumstances 
that can be looked over
Nene:Stray thought, I wonder how the kid will react once he meets Mamoru 
Chiba?
Jiro:Guess we'll have to tune in next time, meanwhile let's have a little 
fun! (Pulls out an Endymion, Guyver and the Knight Saber smile as they 
begin to practice on him, as the night drones screams can be heard 
eminating from the Shadowy peak)
