Good Morning,

Here is part 6 of "Chibi-Usa Times Two", I don't see where Davies said I had
a restrained writting style. Most of my fics required the reader to do a
little work. I call my style a foundation, I give them enough material to
use there imagination; I don't believed in overly excessive detail. I know
some people prefer that style, I just couldn't write like that... put it up
to a business degree.

Enjoy...

Doug

Chibi-Usa Times Two
Part 6:  Do You Know What Your Cousin Did?

The rising sun came over the horizon and filtered into Usagi's bedroom.
Usagi had barely slept a wink during the night. Her eyes were bloodshot
and she had a worried expression on her face. She didn't even notice the
new day's arrival.

As Luna awoke the first thing she observed was Usagi and she looked
horrible. <What's wrong with her? She looks like she hasn't slept at
all.> Misinterpreting the expression Luna said, "Usagi-chan, I thought
you studied."

The sound of the low voice made Usagi jump slightly. <Wha? Imouto? No,
it's just Luna.> After clearing her head of thoughts she quickly made
sure Chibi-Usa was still asleep. She couldn't help but smile when she
saw the contented look on the little girl's face. <Don't worry little
one,> Usagi thought, <Somehow I'll make this right again. First thing I
have to do is get you out of the house. My parents would freak if they
knew there were two of you. It'll protect you from that evil little brat
too... Who knows what she would do to you?>

"Usagi!" Luna hissed, "What's the matter?!"

"I didn't get much sleep," Usagi said softly.

"Wha?" came the sleep filled voice of Chibi-Usa; she'd only partially
opened her eyes.

<Luna, why did you have to wake her up?> Thinking fast Usagi said, "I
said, `Good Morning Imouto, did you have a good sleep?'"

Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, Chibi-Usa sat up and smiled. Luna
gave a warning hiss then leapt off the bed and left the room. Chibi-Usa
shot a questioning look at Usagi who simply shrugged. Remembering
Usagi's question Chibi-Usa replied, "Hai Onee-san. I dreamt I was with
my mommy."

"That's nice, Chibi-Usa-chan," Usagi responded. <That's soooo sweet.>
The thought brought a smile to her face.

"What's funny, Onee-san?" Chibi-Usa asked while getting out of bed.
<Maybe Shingo's up... I have to talk to him and stop him from getting me
in trouble. I don't want to cause Usagi anymore trouble.>

"Nothing Imouto, I just thought of something funny..." Chibi-Usa began
to walk towards the door, "Where are you going?"

"I want to see if Shingo-kun's awake. I want to talk to him."

"Sure just try to be quiet, okay?"

"Hai!" with that Chibi-Usa left the room.  After several seconds Luna
came back into the room.

Usagi quickly returned to her worried state. <I have to tell someone
about this. It's too much to handle alone. Maybe Luna can help me but
she'll tell the others. I know...> Usagi picked Luna up and closed the
door before saying, "Luna, I need to talk to you but you have to promise
not to tell any of the others."

Luna looked suspiciously at Usagi for several seconds before saying,
"Usagi-chan, what did you do?" <Maybe she'll tell me why she's acting so
strangely around Chibi-Usa.>

"You HAVE to promise me that you won't tell the others first. Please?"
<Luna wouldn't break a promise.>

"Usagi, tell me what you did. I won't promise not to tell the others if
the situation demands it," Luna protested and set her eyes to stubbornly
stare at Usagi.

Usagi was getting slightly worried. Glancing at the clock she noticed
that she'd have to get ready for school soon and she couldn't talk with
Luna while Chibi-Usa was around so... "Okay, okay! Luna, I came home one
day and found Chibi-Usa destroying my room. She was searching for the
Ginzuishou again. I wasn't in the mood to take it so I grabbed her. We
both yelled at each other and I got really mad and..." Luna was looking
at her intently so Usagi continued, "I used the Ginzuishou to heal her
because I thought the dark energy was infecting her but something went
wrong and now there's two of them: an ultra-sweet one and ultra-nasty
one..." With that Usagi let go of Luna who fell to the floor and
collapsed on her bed. <There, I said it.>

Luna was in a state of shock. <That's why Chibi-Usa and Usagi were
acting so strange. I knew something was wrong. And Usagi...> She knew
that Usagi was dense but she never believed her charge was THAT dense.
Irritation soon took over for disbelief. Hopping up on the bed Luna
stalked over to the still panting Usagi and said, "I can't believe you
did that to that poor little girl! And it took you this long to tell me
what happened?!!"

"Keep it down!" Usagi hissed, "Luna, I just found out myself... Please
don't tell the others. I know I should of listened to Ami. I really
messed up and I want to try to fix it myself. Rei would never let me
live it down... Please?"

Luna stared hard at Usagi pondering for a long time before saying, "All
right I won't tell the others..." Usagi sighed in relief and started to
thank Luna but was abruptly cut off, "There are conditions however."
Usagi froze in place while Luna continued, "One, I'll tell all if
anybody gets hurt. Two, this will be a limited time offer... YOU, Usagi,
have to solve this problem within the next week. I'm amazed your parents
haven't found out yet! You'll have to send the `sweet one' some place
else." <Maybe this will teach you some responsibility.>

<Now where can I stash her?  Makoto's... no.  Rei's... definitely not. I
have enough trouble with the `regular' Chibi-Usa as it is. I don't need
Rei training a duplicate...> Usagi chuckled. Luna just glared at her.
<Hmmrrmm, have to watch that. Well I don't think Minako would be willing
to either. She's still mad about her stuffed animals. So... that leaves
Ami...> "What about Ami's? Chibi-Usa would probably like that. Ami-chan
can help her with schoolwork and keep an eye on her at the same time.
She's been worried about her anyway."

"Yes... and she's stayed at Ami's before so it won't look quite as
suspicious. When are you going to tell her?"

"I'll ask Ami at lunch today and ask Chibi-Usa when she comes back from
talking to Shingo."

"What if Chibi-Usa finds her other self?" Luna asked. <After what the
nasty one did to me, I can only imagine her reaction.>

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa slipped out of Usagi's room and noticed Luna was watching her
warily. <Did I do something to Luna? She's acting so strangely around
me,> she thought as she walked down to Shingo's room and knocked on his
door softly.

Shingo opened the door and gave Chibi-Usa a strange look, "What happened
to your pajamas?" Shingo knew they were vastly different than the last
ones he'd seen her in.

Thinking something was wrong Chibi-Usa vainly tried to see if there was
a hole in them, shrugging she decided to press on, "Can I please talk to
you, Shingo-kun?" <I'm sure he'll stop after I talk to him.>

"Well maybe..." Shingo grinned internally, <Perfect time for a little
revenge. She's caused me a lot of trouble. I've got to think of
something though.> Stepping inside he let Chibi-Usa enter his room and
closed the door. He began to quickly formulate a plan for revenge when
Chibi-Usa said something that completely stopped him.

"Shingo-kun, why did you mess up the kitchen yesterday and blame it on
me?"

"Me?!? I didn't do it, you did..." <What's going on? She must have
something up her sleeve. It's got to be some kind of trick.>

"But I don't remember, I'm trying to be really good. I don't want
Usagi-chan to be mad at me anymore. Won't you please stop getting me
into trouble, Shingo-kun?" Chibi-Usa pleaded.

"Me getting YOU into trouble?!" Shingo demanded. "So I suppose I took
control of you and tried to drown Luna?!" The statement was dripping
with sarcasm. Chibi-Usa had a shocked and horrified expression on her
face, "Oh don't play the innocent, Mom was telling Dad and I heard it."

"But I didn't... or at least I don't remember doing it," Chibi-Usa
protested. <What's going on?!? I don't remember any of this. Is he
fibbing to me?>

"Don't remember, huh?!? How can you not remember trying to drown Luna
and getting spanked?!"  Shingo was now incredulously staring at
Chibi-Usa; he couldn't believe his ears. <This kid's getting way too
weird for me.>

<Spanked?!?> Chibi-Usa thought, <I would have remembered that... I'll
have to ask Onee-san. She'll tell me the truth. I don't think Shingo's
going to stop getting me into trouble.> With that thought she left
Shingo's room and started back towards Usagi's room. Pausing outside the
door she thought she heard voices. Knocking she entered and looked
around. Only Usagi and Luna were inside the room, <So who was she
talking to?>

                                  ******

"Chibi-Usa-chan, how would you like to stay at Ami-chan's?" Usagi asked
when Chibi-Usa came back from her talk with Shingo.

Chibi-Usa seemed flustered by something but when she heard Usagi's
question, she took on a hurt expression. <What did I do? Onee-san is
trying to get rid of me. She doesn't want me around anymore.> Tears were
already forming in her eyes.

Usagi seeing the tears walked over to Chibi-Usa and squatted down to
look her in the face, "What's the matter, Imouto? I thought you'd like
to stay over at Ami-chan's."

"Why do you want to get rid of me, Onee-san? Was it because I hurt Luna?
I don't remember doing it!" Chibi-Usa sobbed out. <Maybe she won't even
help me save my mommy...>

<Oh Imouto!> Usagi thought as she pulled Chibi-Usa into a comforting
embrace. Picking Chibi-Usa up she carried her over to the bed and sat
down with her on her lap. "Imouto, I don't want to get rid of you...
Why would you think that? And you didn't hurt Luna. I just thought that
you'd like to stay with Ami-chan for a few days."

"I DIDN'T hurt Luna?" Chibi-Usa sniffled out. <Shingo WAS fibbing to
me.>

"No, I don't think you would," confirmed Usagi. Luna added her
reassurance by rubbing up against Chibi-Usa's leg. "See... she's telling
you that you didn't hurt her either."

"B-but Shingo-kun said I tried to drown Luna and that Ikuko-mama spanked
me...  Why would he make something like that up?" Chibi-Usa protested.
<Mommy and Daddy would be very mad that I was bad...>

"Ah... Maybe he doesn't like you spending so much time with me. He
thinks that you should help him bug me," Usagi explained. <I'm running
out of time...> "Imouto, you want to be good, right?" Chibi-Usa nodded,
"Well if you stay at Ami-chan's for a few days, I'm pretty sure you'll
be extra good. That will show him. I'm not mad at you and I don't want
to get rid of you. You're my Imouto after all." This brought a slight
smile to Chibi-Usa's face. "So will you go?"

<I want to be good. Maybe if I go to Ami's, I can prove that I can be
really good... She let me stay there before and that was fun. She can
even help me with my homework but...> Chibi-Usa sniffled once more
before saying, "Hai, Onee-san. But I'd like to stay with you. I will
REALLY miss you."

"I love you, Imouto. Nothing will ever change that," Usagi said.
<Kami-sama, what have I done to this poor girl?> "I'm sure that when you
come back from Ami-chan's, you won't be blamed for anything!  Now we
should get dressed or we'll both be late for school."

                                  ******

"Hi guys!" Usagi declared brightly, "Um... Ami-chan can I talk to
alone?"

Ami and Makoto along with Naru gave Usagi a strange look, Usagi wanted
to talk instead of eat? Setting her book down Ami got up and followed
Usagi off a little before Usagi turned to her with a pensive look on her
face.

"Usagi-chan, if you're going to ask for my math notes..."  Ami was cut
off when Usagi finally worked up enough nerve to ask her question.

"Ami-chan, could you watch Chibi-Usa for a few days?"

Ami had a look of surprise. "Why, Usagi-chan? Can't you watch her? It
would be easier and with Luna there, I'm sure there's nothing special I
can do."

"Well... I've just been having problems and well... Please Ami-chan, I
asked Chibi-Usa if she wanted to stay with you for a few days and she
practically broke down in tears because she thought I was trying to get
rid of her."

Ami frowned slightly. <That's very odd behavior for her.> "Really? What
other strange behavior have you observed?"

"Well she's been having these mood swings. I mean she first wants to be
called Usagi and then she's wouldn't even consider being called anything
else but Chibi-Usa," Usagi replied. <Well it isn't a lie... not the
complete truth but...> As a little extra incentive Usagi added, "And she
somehow keeps slipping away from me. With your minicomputer you could
keep track of her, couldn't you?" <That should do it.>

"Alright Usagi-chan," Ami said. This was a mystery that she would like
to solve. <Maybe it's best I closely observe Chibi-Usa for awhile.>
"When are you going to drop her off?"

"I'll go pick her up from school and swing by your place."

"I have juku today..." Ami started to say but again Usagi cut her off.

"She'd probably like to go with you to juku, Ami-chan. Oh there's the
bell, gotta go." With that Usagi scurried off back to class before Ami
could say anything else.

                                  ******

Usagi arrived at Chibi-Usa's school on time. She expected Chibi-Usa's
normal exuberant greeting. Instead, she found the little girl sullenly
waiting for her. <Kami-sama, this is going to be a harder sell than I
thought.> Usagi feigned a smile. "Imouto, ready to go?"

"Hai," came the soft reply.

"Imouto, we have to go to Ami's right away but I'll drop by later
tonight to read you a story and drop off some clothes." Chibi-Usa's
response was to sniffle a little bit. Picking her up into a hug Usagi
said, "Imouto, I told you I'm NOT trying to get rid of you."

"But I'll REALLY miss you... It's like being away from Mommy all over
again," Chibi-Usa implored. She was trying her best not to cry. "Please
Onee-san, can't I stay with you?"

Starting to walk Usagi said, "Imouto, I'll miss you too. I promise I'll
come and walk you to and from school every day. You'll see me plenty."

Chibi-Usa was getting desperate, "But Onee-san, PLEASE? I really want to
stay with you!"

Usagi grimaced, <Darn, I was hoping this would go easier... Well I don't
have much choice.>  "Chibi-Usa-chan, I understand how you feel but you
HAVE to stay with Ami-chan for a few days or you WILL get blamed for
being bad. I know you can be good and I don't want you getting into
trouble and staying with Ami-chan for a few days will help do that. Do
you understand?"

"Hai," Chibi-Usa mumbled. She didn't like it but Onee-san had said she
had to. <She must really not like me. Why Onee-san?> She couldn't hold
the tears back any longer.

<It will also get the `good' Chibi-Usa away from the `evil' one. Who
knows what that brat might do to her. I don't even think this little
girl would fight back... In fact I think she'd try and give the `evil'
one a hug and say that she forgives her! I can't take that chance.>

As an after thought Usagi added, "You can't tell Ami-chan that I said
you had to stay there." Chibi-Usa seemed to start to protest but
subsided after awhile and the two girls headed for Ami's.

                                  ******

The next few days were peculiar for the Senshi and the Tsukino's. Usagi
found that staying home was not a good idea because the evil Chibi-Usa
used every possible opportunity to attack or humiliate both her and
Shingo. Even threat of punishment from her parents seemed not to phase
her. Her disrespect of them was increasing at an alarming rate.

Nor were the Senshi immune. Makoto had caught Chibi-Usa rummaging
through her belongings when she came home from school. Before she could
question how the child had gotten into her apartment, Chibi-Usa used
Luna-P to distract her and made her getaway.

Ami had been assaulted by Chibi-Usa who had decided that Ami, being the
brightest one, must keep the Ginzuishou for Usagi. Needless to say Ami
was rather shocked when she found that four blocks away Chibi-Usa along
with Usagi were chatting pleasantly while having ice cream. This
thoroughly confused all the parties involved. Usagi vehemently defended
Chibi-Usa who seemed about to break down again. Ami was similarly
stumped when the energy reading she'd received from Chibi-Usa who
attacked her seemed to disappear completely later. Something was really
wrong here. Ami suspected Usagi of knowing more than she was telling but
didn't press the issue.

Artemis was only barely saved from a gruesome fate by Minako later that
same day that Ami was attacked. Again Chibi-Usa managed to slip away but
this time it was Ami who defended Chibi-Usa. She knew they'd been doing
homework and then later Usagi had come over to read Chibi-Usa a story.
Chibi-Usa was never out of her sight.

Even Rei and the Hikawa Shrine grounds were not immune to the terror.
Chibi-Usa seemed to be on a wild rampage although it wasn't nearly as
bad as the others experienced; the damage was spread out greater.

For Usagi things seemed to be escalating at a frantic pace. But it all
came to a head that Friday afternoon while Usagi was walking home from
dropping Chibi-Usa off at Ami's. The only good thing was that Usagi
managed to grab Luna-P and take it to the good Chibi-Usa.

                                  ******

Usagi came walking up the front path of her house and was about to open
the door when it was flung open. Chibi-Usa came bolting out past her and
turned down the street at a furious pace. Ikuko wasn't far behind
yelling at the top of her lungs. She stopped a few steps past Usagi. It
was obvious she couldn't catch the fleeing child.

"YOU GET BACK HERE!!! WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU, YOUNG LADY, YOU WON'T BE
ABLE TO SIT FOR A WEEK!!" Clutched in Ikuko's hand was a nice red dress
that seemed to be stained somehow.

Usagi looked at her mother for a second before asking, "Mom, what
happened?" She'd never seen her mother like this.

Ikuko was almost hyperventilating. "That... that... Chibi-Usa was...
snooping through my closet! I came into my room and found the dress your
father gave me as an anniversary present spread on the bed and she was
spilling something blue on it. Now it's ruined; it was a permanent dye."
Ikuko began to calm down.

"I'll go look for her," Usagi declared. Property damage was one thing
but spoiling something of her mother's was a different matter. It had
just become personal.

                                  ******

Chibi-Usa was furious, "BAKA OLD HAG! I wasn't done! Threaten me will
you! I'll show you then I'll really show `Chibi-Usa'!! I have to find
the Ginzuishou!"  She continued to wander the darkening streets while
planning her next move. One thing was certain... She was tired of that
hell hole. She'd get Baka Odango Atama to tell her where the Ginzuishou
was and then she'd be able to get out of this primitive place.

It was now late at night, the streets were deserted except for a few
people. Chibi-Usa was not scared though, <They would not dare touch
royalty. They all can tell a woman of grace, beauty, and intelligence
when they see one. My subjects still must learn...>

Out of frustration Chibi-Usa picked up a large rock and threw it as hard
as she could. It sailed through the air and shattered a window of a
nearby store. The tinkling sound of glass was pleasant and she felt
slightly better.

Picking up another rock she hurled it towards another window. It hit the
window smashing it sending shards flying away which sparkled in the
streetlight. To Chibi-Usa, it was a beautiful sight to behold. Feeling
even better she spotted a shop selling precious jewels. <I need some new
items to impress Mamo-chan since that old hag took away all my good
stuff!> Picking up the largest rock she could find she prepared to throw
it when a voice from behind her startled her.

"Hold it right there, young lady!"

Spinning around Chibi-Usa saw two police officers standing on either
side of a police car with flashing lights. She smiled slightly, <I'm
royalty. How dare they stop ME in my play! They will learn...> With that
thought she cocked her arm to throw the rock. They would not stop her
this night.
