Authors Note: Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been updating. My nephew is in the hospital and it was really hard to concentrate on anything lately because he wasn't doing very well. But now that he's getting better, I'll be able to write more on this.

Disclaimer: I'm sure you know who and what I don't own, but if you don't, I'm surprised you got this far into the story.

Fire Doused and Ice Melted

It was a beautiful day outside as the sun shone brightly in the sky, no clouds littering it like they usually did. It went unnoticed, though, to a blonde haired girl walking down the street and looking around nervously. 'I know I felt them last night,' she thought.

*Flash back*

Usagi had awoken late the night before when a jolt went through her body. It felt as if her heart was trying to escape the confines of her chest and she almost doubled over in pain before the feeling was gone as quickly as it had come, leaving her to wonder what had caused it. Only a few minutes went by before one word rang out into her mind. 'Senshi.'

Not being able to go back to sleep, she untangled herself from Heero's arms and went down stairs to get a drink. She was surprised when she walked into the kitchen to find Wufei sitting there with a blank look on his face. He hadn't even realized she was there until she waved her hand in front of his eyes and spoke his name.

The always present scowl returned to his face and he swatted at her hand, "Damnit woman! Get your damned hands out of my face!"

"Shh! Moron, you'll wake up the whole house," she said in a fierce whisper. Before he could open his mouth, she clapped a hand over it and gave him a stern look before removing it. "What are you doing down here any way?" she asked.

"More importantly," he started, " Is what you're doing down here. Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" he asked with a raised brow.

"Aren't you?" she snapped back at him and he scowled again. She sighed and walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a glass. "I couldn't sleep so I came down here to get a drink. So now that I've answered your question, answer mine."

"Do not command me around onna…" he went silent though, at the look she gave him and sighed. "You wouldn't understand."

"Try me," was all she said.

He went silent again as his eyes glazed over and he looked to be deep in thought before breaking out of the trance. "Today is the anniversary of my wife's death."

Usagi's eyes widened and she gasped. "I'm sorry."

"Why? It wasn't your fault." He didn't say any more, though she could see that there was something else bothering him.

"Do you have any regrets?" she asked suddenly, not knowing why she had asked. He looked up at her and she saw that his eyes did indeed hold a great sadness in them.

"Yes…I regret not ever getting to really know her."

They sat like that for a long time, the silence almost deafening before he got up and walked out of the room. Usagi sat there for awhile longer before she too left the room and went back upstairs to her and Heero's bedroom.

*End flashback*

The weird feeling started to creep over her again that she was being watched. Not only that, but she also felt as if something was about to happen…something…bad. Just as the thought crossed her mind, she was roughly pushed to the ground, the wind knocked out of her from the fall. The sight of sharp ice shards embedded into the spot she was standing only moments ago met her eyes as she turned her head in that general direction.

She looked up to see Sailor Jupiter on top of her and she frowned. "So I guess it worked?" The other girl only nodded before getting up and running back to where Venus was standing facing the two remaining Senshi of fire and ice.

Usagi quickly stood and transformed before making her way over to the four girls. A flash from the corner of her eye made her smirk as the Outers arrived. She looked at the two girls in a light blue and red fuku and sighed. This was it, they had to do everything just right or their plan would be ruined.

"What do you want?" she asked them, her voice not betraying the fear she felt, though it wasn't for herself, but for them. 'Please let this work.'

"Why you of course Moon Princess," said the senshi of Mars. "You do belong to the Earth Prince after all."

Sailor Moon only raised a skeptical brow in response and smirked. "Well he has made it obvious that he doesn't want me, so I have no idea what you're talking about." She watched as Venus slowly made her way behind Mercury without them realizing it, her love chain at her side and ready to use at a seconds notice.

"Either you come with us or we will take you by force. Should your friends get in the way, they will be dealt with sufficiently," said Mercury in a monotonous voice.

"But aren't they your friends too?" Sailor Moon asked innocently. "Or have you forgotten what that is? Have you forgotten what friendship means." It was more of a statement than a question and she saw as both of the two senshi's eyes shone with recognition before it faded away again.

She tapped her chin thoughtfully and continued, "I wonder if you've forgotten your dreams too. Like how you wanted to become a doctor Amy. Or how about how you wanted to become a singer Rei? Are you telling me you forgot?" She quickly nodded to Venus and the orange clad senshi smirked before separating her love chain in two, and with the flick of her wrists, Mars and Mercury were both immobile.

They struggled futilely as Sailor Moon began walking towards them. She made her way to Mars first and got down on her knees. "Don't you remember me Rei?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The senshi of fire stopped struggling and stared straight into her eyes. They stayed like that for a few moments as Mars searched the other girls eyes and tried to place them in her mind. Recognition finally showed on her face and she frowned.

"Us…Usa..gi?" she stuttered. Sailor Moon smiled and nodded her head.

"That's right Rei, its me, your little Meatball head." The fire senshi's eyes came to life and she looked at Sailor Moon with a confused expression on her face before smiling.

"You got me back," she said and promptly fell to the ground from exhaustion. Sailor Moon smiled softly and watched as Neptune came over and picked up her unconscious friend. She gave her a brief smile before moving over to Mercury who was still struggling against her restraints.

Again getting onto her knees, she looked at her friend and let a small smile grace her face. "Amy, what is a Sailor Senshi?"

The blue haired girls eyes stayed impassive but she answered the question nonetheless. "A soldier who is protected by the planet, star, or moon of its origin. They have the power that comes with that planet, and only a female from the royal family may wield it. Depending on the number of planets and stars in the solar system, the senshi are to have a leader whom they protect."

"And what are the Senshi from this solar system obligated to do?" she asked this time.

Sailor Mercury seemed to hesitate on this question as her eyes flickered. "To protect the Moon Princess," she said simply as her eyes flickered again, only this time, they were brighter. Sailor Moon put her hands on the other girls shoulders and her head snapped up to stare into her eyes.

"Then why aren't you?" she asked quietly. Mercury's eyes kept flickering from a dull blue to a brighter one. Soon though, they didn't go back to the dull color and stayed the bright blue they used to be.

"Usagi?" At the other girls nod, tears started to come out of her eyes. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" She didn't even realize when Venus's chain slipped away from her, or that Usagi had enveloped her into a hug. Her sobs became quieter though as she fell into a deep sleep and Usagi gave her a warm smile before handing her off to Uranus.

Looking over at her two other friends, she smiled and detransformed. They returned it whole heartedly and did the same until she frowned. "How are we going to explain this to the guys?" she asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe you did something so Stupid Usagi! What if you had gotten hurt?" Yep, Heero was definitely mad. In which sense, she didn't know. She did know that he was mad at her for putting her life in danger and that she was now getting her ass ripped out.

"I got them back now though…that's good, right?"

"That is not the point! You could have been hurt, and using yourself as bait is not what I would have called smart!"

She only pouted at him before getting up and crossing her arms. "I never said it was smart! I just said that it got my senshi back. That's all I cared about at the moment Heero, was getting my friends back. What don't you understand about that?!"

She made to storm her way past him but his arm shot and grabbed hers before she could make to the door and held her close to him. "I just don't know what I would do without you. I don't ever want to lose you Usagi."

She smiled and hugged him back before pulling away and kissing him. "Then you never will."

He put on one of the rare smiles that was only for her and kissed her again. He only hoped she could feel all of his love for her in it and he slowly pushed her back until she fell onto the bed, him coming to land on top of her. "Then I'm going to make sure you know how much I love you." Before she could respond, his lips were on hers again as he started to unbutton her blouse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other girls hadn't faired well either. They had all gotten in trouble and were all currently in their appropriate rooms…everyone that is, except Wufei. He could hear all the yelling going on and he grumbled as he got up and made his way to the kitchen. Before he made it however, the door bell rang and he went to go answer it still grumbling under his breath.

Upon opening the door, he immediately shut it again and made his way back to the kitchen after seeing who it was. A few seconds later, Zechs, or Milliardo Peacecraft came into the room with a frown on his face. "This always how you treat guests?"

"No, this is how I treat intruders," he answered.

"Oh, so you treat spies the same way then?"

Wufei only rose a brow and before answering him. "I said this is how I treat intruders. Spies would be something to worry about, intruders are not." He smirked when he saw the other man scowl. It disappeared though as he heard all the yelling throughout the house.

"What is that noise?" he asked giving a questioning look to Wufei.

"You don't want to know, and besides, I wouldn't tell you anyway," he said as he started to walk away. "Oh yeah, if you want a room, you better find one now before they're all taken."

Milliardo only quirked a brow at the teen before walking up the stairs. He blushed as he passed by some doors and heard moaning coming from within. 'What exactly have they been doing all this time?' he wondered.

He walked to a door a little ways down the hall and listened for any sound coming from within. Hearing none, he opened the door and looked around. A figure on the bed caught his attention and he gasped. It looked to be a girl around sixteen or seventeen. She had pale skin and dark blue hair that looked to reach her shoulders. The rest of her was covered by the thick blanket adorning her bed and he quietly made his way out of her room and across the hall. He was about to open the door when a hand shot out and stopped him.

"This one is also taken," Wufei said before nodding to the one next to the blue haired girls room. "That one however, is not." Milliardo only nodded his head before walking over to the aforementioned door and stepping inside.

Wufei watched as the blonde haired man entered the room next to Usagi's friend…Amy was it? He shook his head and looked at the door behind him in which the other girl slept. Makoto had said her name was Rei. Without really thinking, he opened the door and strode into the room. Walking over to the bed, he sat in the chair that was beside it and studied her. Her hair was the blackest he'd ever seen, and when the light shone on it, purple highlights appeared. He had yet to see her eye color, but her skin was pale and smooth. When the girls had first arrived, he had caught a glimpse of her and saw that she had a toned body with long creamy legs and well proportioned…he blushed as he realized where his thoughts were going.

'Wait, I shouldn't be thinking about this girl at all! She is a weak onna!' He got up and stormed angrily out of the room. He was about to slam the door, but caught himself and shut it as gently as possible. After he realized this though, his temper flared up again and he stormed down the hallway, ignoring the moans coming from the rooms he passed by.

'I need to go to the training room,' he thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey eyes felt heavy as she became aware of her surroundings. 'Where am I?' she thought. Looking around, she noticed that she was in a room not her own. In fact, she had no idea where she was. The last thing she remembered seeing was Usagi's smiling face. 'I wonder where she is.'

Trying to get up, she yelped as a wave of pain tore through her sides. Looking down, she saw that a little heart like design was burned into her skin. 'This looks like Minako's love me chain,' she thought when someone came rushing into the room.

Looking up, she saw the most beautiful site ever known to man…in her eyes anyway. "What is it? What's wrong?" he asked. The man that had come into her room had ling blonde hair that went down the middle of his back. His eyes were a sky blue color much like Usagi's, and his skin was a tanned color.

Realizing that she was staring, she muttered out the only thing she could think of, "I uhh, umm, nothing! Nothings wrong."

He frowned at this and walked over to her. "But I distinctly heard you call out, so lets try this again. What's wrong?"

Amy sighed and showed him her arms and his eyes widened. "What happened?" he asked taking one and examining it.

"I'd rather not talk about that. But don't worry about it, it'll be gone in a few days."

He stared at her for a few moments before remembering that he didn't know her name. "My name is Milliardo Peacecraft, and may I ask what yours is?"

"Amy Mizuno. Pleased to meet you, but could you tell me where I am?" At this he blinked in surprise. She didn't know where she was?

"You don't know?" he asked and she shook her head.

"No. All I know is that my friend Usagi is here somewhere with my other friends. Have you seen any of them?" she asked hopefully.

"No, I have only seen one other person that lives here, but he goes by the name Wufei."

She nodded and realized that she was in the Gundam pilots house. Though she was being controlled, she still held her knowledge about the five boys that Usagi and the others were currently staying with. Looking back up at the blonde haired man, she smiled and held out her hand.

"Would you please help me to the kitchen? I'm really hungry." As if on cue, her stomach grumbled and she blushed a deep red. Milliardo only chucked and took her hand in his own.

Seeing that she was unstable on her feet, he picked her up bridal style and carried her down the stairs. 'I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting visit,' he thought.

*Elsewhere*

"So where were you Darien?" asked Nye sinisterly. "I thought you were supposed to be collecting the Sailor Senshi and the Moon Princess…NOT LOSING THEM!!" she screamed, her twin at her side smirking snidely.

"Please forgive me my Lady, I…" but she did not let him finish.

"I don't want to hear it. You either get them back, or you know what will happen," she said evilly. Darien bowed and then left the twins chambers.

Walking quietly back to his room, he thought of a way to get the senshi back and Usagi as well. 'You will come back to me Serenity, if it's the last thing I do.'
