Chibi-Usa Times Two
Part 5: Mirror
Chibi-Usa stood there in shock for a few seconds, <What did I do?!?!
What do they think I did?!?> She tried to reason out what nasty trick
Shingo pulled and blamed on her. Then looking back at Usagi and Ikuko,
she felt her stomach start to churn. <They've never been this mad.>
Catching a movement she saw Ikuko start towards her. <I've got to go see
what happened. Gomen, Ikuko-mama.> Ducking her head Chibi-Usa ran by
Ikuko and into the house.
Chibi-Usa gasped as she came into the kitchen. <So that's what he did!
Ikuko-mama thought it was me because I did it before! Why is Shingo
being so mean to me?> Whirling around Chibi-Usa pleaded, "Ikuko-mama, I
didn't do it... Shingo's trying to get me in trouble. You believe me,
don't you, Onee-san?" Usagi stood mute.
"Chibi-Usa, don't even try to talk your way out of this... NOW UP TO
YOUR ROOM!" Ikuko ordered.
She noted that Usagi was just looking at her sternly. Her stomach
continued to churn. <Oh Onee-san, you think I did it too. It's not your
fault, it's mine for being bad before.> With tears welling up in her
eyes Chibi-Usa made her way slowly upstairs. Her sniffling could be
heard as she climbed the stairs and entered her room.
******
<The healing must of went wrong. That has to be it,> Usagi thought while
grimacing, <She should be good but not swing back and forth... It's my
fault. I have to fix this!> Usagi emphasized that mental thought by
thumping the countertop. Ikuko looked at her and misinterpreted the
physical motion.
"Don't you worry, Usagi-chan... We both know it was her and she isn't
going to slip out of being spanked."
<Spanked?!? Oh no!!!> "Mom... ah, could I talk to her first, please?"
Ikuko narrowed her eyes and looked at her daughter questioningly. <I
have to find out what went wrong... I'd feel really bad if she got
spanked because of something I did.> "She's going to be scared of you.
Maybe if I ask her... well... Chibi-Usa would talk more..."
Ikuko considered it for a few moments before saying, "Alright Usagi...
but you're not to make her think she's got away with anything. She was
very bad today."
Running up to her room Usagi changed her dirty blouse and the slid down
the hall to Chibi-Usa's room. <Oh Imouto, I hope I can help you.>
******
Chibi-Usa was streaming tears. <I didn't do it!> she thought as she sat
on her bed. <I know Ikuko-mama is really mad at me and I think Onee-san
is too... Usagi trusted me and now she'll hate me. I should talk to
Shingo and ask him not to get me into trouble. I know he's really nice.
I was bad before but now maybe he'll stop.>
Just then she heard the door quietly open. Looking up Chibi-Usa saw that
it was Usagi. <Oh Onee-san! Gomen nasai.> The older girl had a pensive
look on her face. Slipping into the room she closed the door and quietly
walked over to the bed. Sitting down she looked at Chibi-Usa for a few
seconds before lifting her into a hug.
"Chibi-Usa-chan... Imouto... why did you do that?" Usagi asked softly
while hugging the still crying little girl, "I thought you were with
Mamoru-kun at his apartment... Were you mad at me? I know you wanted to
go to Rei's with me the other day." <Please tell me, Imouto.>
Chibi-Usa was quiet for a couple of minutes before saying, "But
Usagi-san, I didn't do it... Mamo-chan dropped me off just when
Ikuko-mama and you came outside. I think Shingo-kun did it to get me
into trouble. I don't know why he's being so mean." She buried her head
into Usagi's shoulder and continued to cry.
Usagi wrinkled her forehead slightly and said, "Imouto, how can you lie
like that and tell me you didn't do it when you hit me with two eggs?"
<Nani?!?> Chibi-Usa's face went through a mixture of emotions. Sliding
from confusion to fear and back. Shaking her head Chibi-Usa said
confused, "No Onee-san, I would never do that to you... I love you. I
told Ikuko-mama the truth... Won't you believe me... Please?" she begged
sobbing.
<She's lost her memory!> Usagi thought, <Boy this is going to be hard on
her... I mean this is my fault! The healing didn't work for some
reason...> Rubbing Chibi-Usa's back Usagi steeled herself before saying
flatly, "Imouto... I know what I saw. I know what YOU did. You WERE in
the kitchen." <Poor little girl... why did I do this to you?>
<I can't remember it though! If Onee-san says I did it, then I did but I
don't remember! Onee-san would never lie to me.> Chibi-Usa started to
cry harder. She didn't understand what was going on. Everything was very
confusing to her. <What's happening to make me bad?>
After a bit she stopped crying and sniffled, <Onee-san is being really
good about this... She's didn't yell at me... and she's hugging me.>
Chibi-Usa snuggled a little deeper into Usagi before whispering out,
"Onee-san... wha... what's Ikuko-mama going to do?"
"That all depends..." Both girls jumped at the sound of Ikuko's voice
in the doorway. Chibi-Usa slid off of Usagi's lap and walked over to
Ikuko.
"Ikuko-mama... Gomen nasai! Gomen nasai!" She sniffled, "I don't
remember what I did but I believe it when Onee-san says I was bad." She
stood with her head bowed waiting for Ikuko to do something.
<Maybe Usagi straightened her out. Usagi was hugging her and she does
really seem sorry... But why wouldn't she remember?> Usagi looked to her
mother pleading with her eyes to be lenient with the child. Ikuko
considered for a moment and made her decision, "I'm going to ground you,
Chibi-Usa... for three days... that means no TV... Only school and here.
You don't go anywhere else. Also, you have to go downstairs and clean
up the mess you made in the kitchen," Ikuko said, "And this will be the
last time I go easy on you, young lady... I think you're old enough to
know what's right and wrong. Do you understand?"
"Hai," Chibi-Usa softly answered bowing her head once more. <Arigato,
Ikuko-mama. I won't be bad again, I promise... But why don't I remember?
Onee-san will help me.> With that Ikuko walked out of the room.
******
"Baka commoners!" Chibi-Usa growled as she walked down the street. "I
have to get out of this disgusting outfit!!!" She was still wearing her
blue sailor fuku and not enjoying it one bit. Another thought of more
importance struck her, <I have to get the Ginzuishou and get out of here
before that old hag actually manages to catch me again... Now where
would baka `Chibi-Usa' hide it?>
Seeing a small park Chibi-Usa entered and, making sure the bench was as
clean as possible. perched on it. She sat there considering the possible
locations. <Would Mamo-chan have it? No, I don't think so. He suffered
enough with `Chibi-Usa'. Anyway, he'd give it to me if he had it. Hmm...
Who else might she'd given it to?>
"Hello Chibi-Usa-chan, what are you doing here all by yourself?" a
cheerful voice behind her said.
Chibi-Usa jumped up and recognized it was Minako. "What did you call
me?" Chibi-Usa snarled out. <How dare she associate me with that baka.>
"Chibi-Usa-chan," Minako repeated now somewhat confused over the her
reaction to it.
"My name's NOT `CHIBI-USA'!!! It's `USAGI'!!!! That blundering baka
Odango Atama is `CHIBI-USA'!!!" Chibi-Usa glared at the shocked Minako
defying her to contradict that statement.
"Umm... ah... Okay `Usagi-chan', what are you doing here all by
yourself?"
Chibi-Usa narrowed her eyes and squinted at Minako for several seconds
before saying, "As a princess I have the right to go where I wish..."
Then an idea formed and Chibi-Usa grinned subtlety, "Minako, you'd like
to take me to your place for dinner, wouldn't you?"
"I would?!?" Minako asked. <She's acting so strange. What on earth is
going on?! From what Usagi told me, this IS NOT the Chibi-Usa who
confided in her.>
"Sure. You're not that baka, are you? You're more intelligent than
`Chibi-Usa' is, aren't you?" she said sarcastically. <Kami-sama, this
blonde is a ditz!> Minako was getting confused and just stood there
blankly looking at Chibi-Usa.
After a moment, Minako replied, "Sure I'd like to have you over to my
place for supper." <She's being so rude. I've got to figure out what's
going on...>
"Excellent! You may lead the way." Chibi-Usa hopped off the bench and
followed Minako out of the park and down the street. <She's definitely
NOT one of my smarter subjects but she figured it out eventually.
Finally someone that at least is more receptive to the lessons of
toadying!>
******
"I'll get it, Mom!" Usagi called and dashed for the phone, "Moshi
moshi... Minako-chan... what's... What?!?!" This last bit brought
curious looks from the rest of the family. Noticing this Usagi lowered
her voice and continued, "Minako-chan, you've got be wrong... Well no,
she was in her room and I was doing my homework... Yeah but... I don't
think... Hai, ja ne." Hanging up the phone Usagi stood there for a
couple of minutes looking off into space.
"What was that all about, dear?" Ikuko asked.
This startled Usagi, <I can't tell her the truth but I don't like lying
to Mom... I know...> "Ah... that was Minako. She was just telling me
about her unexpected house guest she had." <Oh way to go! That was
pretty lame! But it wasn't a lie.>
"What about HER house guest?"
"Ah they... they got tickets to a show and... want to know if
Chibi-Usa-chan and I wanted to go but I said we couldn't." Usagi knew
by the look on Ikuko's face that her mother wasn't buying the story but
to her surprise Ikuko didn't say anything else about the story. <How do
moms always know when you're not telling the whole truth?>
Instead she turned to Chibi-Usa who was sitting quietly at the table and
said, "I think maybe you should go to bed early tonight." <Maybe it was
just crankiness...> Shingo snickered and Ikuko turned to him, "Would
YOU like to go to bed early as well?" Shingo became solemn and shook
his head no.
Chibi-Usa hopped out of the chair, said good night, and started up the
stairs. She, absorbed in her thoughts, didn't hear Usagi following
behind her. <Onee-san probably doesn't want me to sleep in her room. I
don't blame her either. I've been so bad.> Chibi-Usa was about to open
her bedroom door when Usagi asked, "Imouto, aren't you going to sleep in
my room?"
Chibi-Usa turned around and looked at Usagi, "Onee-san, you'd still let
me? Even when I was bad?"
"Hai," Usagi said. <I want to keep a closer eye on you. Although I can't
believe that Minako thinks that you wrecked some of her stuffed animals
searching for the Ginzuishou. It just doesn't seem like you. I already
told you I'd help save your mommy.>
A smile spread across Chibi-Usa's face and she walked over and hugged
Usagi's legs. <She's so nice to me especially after what I did to her.
Onee-san will help me be good.> Chibi-Usa slipped under the covers and
listened to Usagi read her a bedtime story which improved her spirits
ten fold.
Something was bothering Usagi so after putting the book away she asked,
"Imouto, did you want me to call you `Usagi'?" Chibi-Usa looked at her
rather confused so Usagi continued, "You told Mamoru that your name was
`Usagi' and in the kitchen you called me `Chibi-Usa'."
Chibi-Usa couldn't help but giggle at the question. "No Onee-san, I
WANT to be called `Chibi-Usa'. You're my onee-san and YOUR name is
`Usagi'. It's a great honor for me to share your name. I love you very
much." <Why would I call her Chibi-Usa? It's so silly. I'm littler than
her,> she giggled to herself.
"I love you too... Ah Imouto... in the kitchen you also said you were a
princess, are you?" Usagi's curiosity had to be satisfied.
Chibi-Usa whimpered slightly before saying, "I let that slip?" <Puu is
going to be mad at me for telling her.>
"You did say you were," Usagi said while stroking her hair, "I just
wanted to know if it was true, Imouto."
Chibi-Usa was silent for a long time before saying softly, "Hai, it is
true." <Please don't ask me anymore...>
Usagi sensing that Chibi-Usa didn't want to talk about it let the
subject drop and said, "Good night, Imouto." Usagi thought, <Why is
everybody blaming things on Chibi-Usa all of a sudden? Did she sneak
out and go over to Minako's? I thought she was here. She must be awfully
quick to get back so fast.>
******
The next day after school found Rei walking down the street. She was on
her way over to the Crown Arcade when she noticed Chibi-Usa coming
towards her in a blue dress that was just within decency codes. She
couldn't believe it. <I wouldn't think Ikuko would let her out in
that... I didn't even think Usagi would let her out in that... I know
Usagi is a ditz sometimes but...> Then a wry smile spread across her
face, <Usagi would probably want to wear it to attract Mamoru. Still...>
Rei noticed that Chibi-Usa was alone and headed for Mamoru's. Chibi-Usa
wanted to see what his reaction would be to her new dress. Rei started
to follow but suddenly felt an odd sensation. Stopping she pondering the
situation, <The Black Moon Family! They're around here somewhere!>
Ducking into a alleyway she called the others, "I think the enemy is
after Chibi-Usa again."
"Nani?!? Where?!?! I just walked her home from school!" came Usagi
panicked voice.
"Is she with you?" Ami asked.
"Uh...." There was silence for several seconds while Usagi quickly
checked before she said, "No and she isn't in her room. Damn!"
Rei blinked. After telling the others where she was, she transformed
into Sailor Mars. She then tried to find Chibi-Usa once again but the
little girl had disappeared. <Kami-sama, I hope the enemy didn't get
her!>
******
"Onee-san?" Chibi-Usa called. She had just gone to the bathroom but
Usagi seemed to have left in a hurry for some reason. <Where did she go?
I wanted Onee-san to help me with my homework.>
******
Mamoru felt Usagi transform but before he could leave to help he heard a
knock on his door. Answering it he saw Chibi-Usa in yet another
inappropriate dress. <I really must talk to Usagi about those things.>
"Konnichiwa Mamo-chan!" Chibi-Usa beamed, "I'm glad to see you're ready
to take me out on a date but don't you think it's a little early?"
"Ah Chibi-Usa..."
"USAGI!" she corrected.
"Right..." Mamoru looked confused for several seconds before saying,
"What happened to Chibi-Usa-chan?"
"I don't know why you care about that baka!" <I'm going to have to use
stronger measures.> Bouncing Luna-P, she called, "Luna-P HENGE!"
changing Luna-P into a umbrella. Mamoru wondered how Chibi-Usa was able
to do such a trick. Before he could ask, she started to hypnotize Mamoru
saying over and over, "You love me, Mamo-chan... You want to be my
boyfriend, don't you?"
Mamoru's mind struggled for awhile before he was overwhelmed by Luna-P's
hypnotic powers. Smiling down at Chibi-Usa he said, "Usako, what do you
say I treat you to a big dinner?"
Nodding vigorously Chibi-Usa stepped out of the doorway and let Mamoru
lead the way down the hall, <He will be mine!>
******
"Usagi, I'm telling you I saw her in a dress that would make ANY woman
blush. I'm surprised it isn't against the law!" Rei fumed. Back in their
civilian forms the girls were discussing the recent events.
"Rei-chan, I saw her go upstairs... I figured she wanted to do her
homework with me so I followed." Usagi shrugged, "When I checked she
wasn't in her room and she wasn't downstairs..." <I wonder how did she
get way over here so fast?>
"You were actually going to do homework, Odango Atama?" Rei asked. She
looked like she didn't believe Usagi at all.
Before a tongue war could start Ami interrupted, "Has she been acting
strangely lately, Usagi-chan?"
Usagi froze for a moment before saying, "No... Not that I could figure
out. We had a blow up yesterday... and Minako-chan supposedly had her
stuffed animals destroyed by Chibi-Usa..." <I can't tell them what I've
done.>
"You don't believe me?" Minako whined.
Makoto chimed in, "Well... it could have been Artemis, Minako-chan. I
mean... he's always been jealous of them." Minako stuck her tongue out
while Usagi snickered; they didn't normally get a chance to tease
Minako.
"Minna-san, I need to get back home," Usagi said, "Mom will start asking
questions if I'm late and I've had my fill of questions for awhile."
******
The next day Chibi-Usa spotted Luna and smiled evily. <Time for a little
revenge. I remember what you did to me, kitty, and this would be good
pay back to `Chibi-Usa'...> Slowly, pretending to be friendly, she
approached Luna who was watching her trying to figure out what she was
doing home from school so early.
Ikuko came up the stairs a few minutes later and listened. It sounded
like water running and something thrashing around. Loud hissing, mewing,
and growling sounds were evident as well. Walking into the bathroom she
was horrified to see Chibi-Usa holding Luna by all four legs while
dipping her repeatedly in water.
"No, you'll pay for scratching me!" Chibi-Usa declared and shoved the
very wet angry Luna under the water and held the poor cat there.
Ikuko's reaction was immediate. She ran forward and scooped Chibi-Usa up
while saying, "Let Luna go NOW!"
The surprise of being discovered was enough for Chibi-Usa to let Luna
slip out of her grasp; Luna landed in the water. Ikuko kept a firm grip
on Chibi-Usa with one hand while scooping Luna out of the water with the
other. Ikuko made sure that Luna was okay other than being wet. Then she
picked Chibi-Usa up and said, "CHIBI-USA! I've been lenient with you...
I don't know what you're doing home from school but I won't tolerate you
hurting Luna."
"Put me down, you commoner! I am a princess!" Chibi-Usa shouted while
struggling to get free.
"This is a `commoner' that's going to spank you, young lady! Your
behavior is not something to be proud of. You've dishonored our entire
family." With that Ikuko started towards Chibi-Usa's room. The child
fought her all the way though. This time Ikuko was prepared. She
wouldn't tolerate any tricks or attempts to get away.
As they arrived at the door to her bedroom, Chibi-Usa grabbed hold of
the door handle... then the frame, all the while yelling that Ikuko
better not lay a hand on her. It was a valiant effort to stave off doom
but doom was stronger and finally got Chibi-Usa into her room. Luna
followed behind with a certain satifaction that her tormentor would be
punished.
Placing the struggling child across her lap, Ikuko spanked Chibi-Usa who
with every stroke promised severe penalties for touching royalty. Ikuko
after a few strokes, satisfied that she'd had shown her displeasure,
demanded, "Now get into your school fuku right now. I'm taking you back
to school."
With tears of pain and anger running down her cheeks, Chibi-Usa was
about to tell Ikuko to get lost when she thought better of it. <How dare
you make me cry! You just wait... I'll get my revenge!> Chibi-Usa
thought. <What I did to those baka, `Chibi-Usa' and Shingo, will have
been nothing. Now get out, old hag, so I can change!> She stood there
for a minute thinking Ikuko would leave but she didn't.
"Chibi-Usa, I'm not leaving. You have a choice: either put your school
fuku on and come with me in the next five minutes or I spank you again
and I'll put your fuku on you myself."
<I think she would too.... I better not tell her to stop calling me by
that baka's name.> Reluctantly, and muttering under her breath,
Chibi-Usa put the hated piece of clothing on and left with Ikuko.
<YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!>
******
Chibi-Usa was not pleased. She had to wear that blasted disgustingly
kawaii fuku again. Ikuko was rather insistent about it. <Good thing I
was able to slip away once that old hag thought I had went into the
school...> Although for what she was doing at this moment it helped
wearing, as Chibi-Usa put it, "the kawaii crap". Last night's date with
Mamoru was great except for the waiter... <Why did he refuse to serve me
the drink I wished for? He made me so mad. Even Mamoru agreed with him!
I see I'll have to work on that...>
Chibi-Usa walked into a liquor store posing as a child of one of the
customers. She was keeping close enough to a couple so that she would
look like their little girl. Every so often she'd slid another bottle
off the shelf and into the bag that she made Luna-P become. She had to
force it to into that form, <Why was it so hard to get Luna-P to change?
Maybe that baka did something to it.>
As the couple moved to pay for their purchases Chibi-Usa snuck out the
door with another man. The store's alarm went off but it was the man who
was suspected of shoplifting. Chibi-Usa smiled to herself, she and
Mamoru were going to have a wonderful evening.
******
Usagi looked at the little girl curled up beside her. One little arm
hugging Usagi. <Imouto, you have been very good lately. But I think
something has gone terribly wrong... I don't know how to make it
better... I don't know what to do!>
It was early morning. Usagi got little sleep that night. She had been
wide awake wondering what she was going to do. Sliding out of bed
quietly so not to wake Chibi-Usa, she slipped out of the room and made
her way to the bathroom. After a few minutes she came out and was about
to enter her own room again when a sound came from Chibi-Usa's room. <It
can't be Chibi-Usa... She's asleep in my bed.>
Usagi froze, her one hand still on the doorknob. The other on her
broach. She slowly turned the doorknob, opened her door, and saw what
appeared to be a small sleeping form. <Prowler!> Usagi thought. Slowly
she crept towards the figure ready to scream if it was necessary.
As she got closer though she could hear a voice muttering. It sounded
very familiar. "I can't believe Mamo-chan threw out all that good
liquor! I mean he was mad! Only good thing that came out of that waste
was him blaming `Chibi-Usa'. Now that was good!"
<Chibi-Usa?! Nah, it couldn't be.> Usagi took on a puzzled expression.
It sounded like Chibi-Usa but Chibi-Usa was in her bed. <I wouldn't give
her liquor! I mean it isn't good for her and it's against the law! I'm
glad Mamoru poured it out but why would he blame me?! Wait a second...
Why am I worrying about that now?> Suppressing a whine Usagi quietly
walked closer to investigate. <Kami-sama! It IS Chibi-Usa!!> Chibi-Usa
was laying in bed but wasn't wearing the bunny rabbit pajamas Usagi had
just seen her in. <How can this be?!? And what is she wearing? It looks
like...> Usagi was thoroughly confused. She turned around and walked
quietly back out. <That's impossible!!!>
Usagi pulled the door shut and began to head to her room. That's when
the door suddenly opened and Chibi-Usa stepped out. She saw Usagi and
gave a leering look, "Well `Chibi-Usa-KUN', what did you want? Did you
see anything you liked?" She gave a quick little wiggle.
"I ah... thought I heard a noise... I thought it was a prowler," Usagi
croaked out while trying not to get overly worked up about the fact that
Chibi-Usa was standing in front of her wearing something that was by no
means suited to a child.
"Well it was me!" Chibi-Usa hissed out. She had no desire to wake Ikuko
up. She wasn't ready for her... yet. "Now get lost, baka!"
Usagi complied and slipped into her room. There she saw the still
sleeping form of Chibi-Usa in her bed where she had left her. She then
realized what this meant. Sliding back under her covers Usagi pulled
Chibi-Usa into a protective hug while watching the door...
<TWO CHIBI-USAs!! What am I going to do?!?>
