Chapter Three: Secret of Usagi's Illumination

Quatre heaved himself to sit up. He was dead sleepy and the stupid alarm went off. He muttered a threat and threw the alarm clock out the window. "Hey! Watch where you throwin' stuff!" Quatre plopped back down, sinking back into the soft mattress. Suddenly, music blasted throughout two-story house and Quatre was forced to get up. Stumbling down the stairs, he was shocked to see Duo throwing Usagi, obviously, elements for breakfast. "Duo's awake at….. 9:00am? Usagi's cooking?" The two nodded and Duo shouted, "Three eggs," before tossing three eggs to Usagi.

"I don't believe this." Quatre mumbled, sitting down at the small 5-person table. Usagi smiled and ruffled his hair, making it almost as messy as Heero's. "Pancake?" Duo asked, holding a plate of pancakes to Quatre's face. "I-" "Oh, have some! How about 6!" Usagi chimed, pouring 6 pancakes on a plate in front of Quatre. "No, 7." Duo added. "8!" "9!" "N-N-Nine?" Quatre uttered, staring at the full plate. "See! He agrees!" Usagi grinned with triumph. "Fine! 9 it is!" Quatre opened his mouth to protest, but instead of words coming out, Usagi stuffed a pancake in his mouth.

"Chew!" Usagi pleaded. Quatre slowly gnawed on the once pancake, swallowed and was

about to say something when Usagi stuffed another one in his mouth. "U-" "Eat!" Quatre finished the pancake and held the fork the other way, "You've been talking to Mom, haven't you?" Usagi grinned brightly, "How'd you know," she asked sweetly. "Because, Mom says I'm too scrawny." Duo snickered, "That too." "Oh, no. What else did she say?" Quatre asked. "Oh, nothing-" "You should get a girlfriend!" Duo interrupted and earned a glare from Usagi. "Yeah, that too." Quatre nearly choked on a pancake.

"Oh, you like my pancakes?" Usagi asked, thinking she was changing the subject matter. "What else did she say? Usagi?" "Um," Usagi started, using her sweet childishly thoughtful look, "Well….. She also put me in charge of…." "Of what?" Quatre repeated, quirking an eyebrow. "Of getting you a girlfriend!" Usagi replied very quickly. "What! Knowing you, you'll fill up a plane with girls and send it right to the door!" Quatre feared the other possibilities of his little sister. "Now, why ever would I do such a thing?" Usagi asked pleasantly. Meanwhile, Duo was making warning signs to Quatre, behind Usagi.

"Shut up, Duo-chan." Usagi muttered, throwing a plastic bowl over her shoulder to stop Duo. "I wasn't saying anything!" Duo cried as he dodged the bowl by two seconds. Quatre couldn't help but laugh as Usagi continued to throw bowls, knives and forks over her shoulder at Duo. That was how Heero, Trowa and Wufei found them. "Yahoushy!!" Duo cried as a knife came flying down and nearly cut his toes off. "Oh, Gomen Nasai, Duo-chan." Usagi innocently called over her shoulder. "Very, very funny, Usa. Very funny." Duo mumbled under his breath. Usagi giggled at the tone Duo used in use of her pet name.

Suddenly, the phone rang upstairs and Usagi giggled her way up the stairs to answer it.

"Moshimoshi?" "Usagi." Usagi's eyes widened, "Mamoru!" "Not so loud! I need you to meet me somewhere. Got a pen and pad?" Usagi pulled her little pad out the nightstand drawer and replied with a "Yes." "Alright. Now, listen, very closely. There's a building on Lexmark Rd, it's made of red bricks and the biggest one there." "Uh-huh." "Get here as quickly as you can!" Usagi was a little taken back by the tone in his voice, but she didn't mention it, "O-Okay." The click and ring tone of the receiver signaled Mamoru had hung up. `He sounded so strange. He might be sick!'

Quickly, Usagi slipped into her coat and hurried down the stairs. "What's wrong with you?" Duo asked as Usagi just about tumbled over Heero and landed in the fireplace. "Gomen Heero!" Usagi called over her shoulder, before running out the door, almost trampling on Wufei. Wufei raised an eyebrow and closed the door, before sitting down on the couch.

***************************

Usagi sighed as she looked down to the pad. `Lexmark Rd? Why Lexmark Rd?' She looked up and swore she heard a distant gunshot. Quickening her pace, she came to a halt and backed up a few steps, staring at the tall building. `This has to be it!' Usagi slowly stepped up the stairs and softly knocked at the solid wooden door. In the time of less than a minute, Usagi was snatched into the room and hit in the back of her head, sending her into a fainting condition.

***Sometime later***

Usagi whimpered as she raised her head up and opened her eyes. Black. Pure black darkness. She tried to move her hands and feet, but she wasn't able to. "Ah, look who's awake." Usagi felt the, apparent, blindfold being removed from her eyes. "What? Where am I?" She cried, her eyes wide with fear. "Mamoru? Mamo-" Usagi gasped as she got a full analysis of the smirking face.
