Those voices in my Head-Chapter 4
"No more Secrets"

It looked like Rei's exorcism ceremony hadn't worked out quite right. Now it seemed she was in a position the boys in her head had been. She floated alone in an endless void of sequenced flashes of dark blue, black, pink, green and purple colours. Currently the black light stone slightly more brightly than the rest.

She could only guess that the different coloured lights had something to do with the guys' minds and souls. Various thoughts, images and feeling bombarded her from all the boys making her feel overwhelmed. Usagi could only assume that like when in her mind they could all hear her at the same time or privately.

'Duo are you okay?' asked Usagi as she glanced around her surroundings again in awe of its simplicity and complexity existing at the same time. "Yeah I'm okay." winced Duo as he got up and rubbed his sore nose with a small pout on his face. 'Well at least it isn't broken.' said Usagi trying to make Duo feel better. 'Well I would look pretty strange with a broken nose now wouldn't I?' grinned Duo imagining himself with a crooked nose. 'Err I guess so.' agreed Usagi in confusion and added hastily, 'though I don't know what you look like Duo.'

Suddenly she heard another voice groaning in exasperation. "The onna's in our mind now." sighed Wufei as he frowned in dismay. Hiiro, Quatre and Trowa looked at him curiously before they noticed that something wasn't quite the same with their own minds. Like there was a presence in their minds. 'You're so mean Wufei I'm not weak.' sniffled Usagi as Hiiro dropped his gun in surprise, Quatres' eyes widened in surprise and Trowa didn't react at all.

"Usagi is that you?" asked Quatre stopping himself just before he began to look around for her. It was hard to remember that she was in their minds and not with them. 'Yes it's me Quatre, you don't need to speak just think to me and I'll hear you.' 'Sorry it's easy to forget that you're not here with us completly.' replied Quatre turning his head away from Hiiro and Trowa so they wouldn't see the embarrassed blush that had spread across his cheeks.

Meanwhile back at the Sendai temple the rest of the sailor senshi were dealing with their Usagi crisis the best way a sailor senshi could.

"Well this got boring fast." Makoto sighed as she put away her marker. "I can't believe she won't wake up!" grinned Minako as she finished the doodle she had been making on Usagi's face. It might have been a bunny but it was so deformed looking it was hard to tell.

"I can't believe you consider this scientific Ami." shouted Rei as she glared at the blue haired senshi of Mercury. "We can't seem to wake her," squeaked Ami as she hid her face behind one of her numerous textbooks, "the best solution was to subject Usagi to different stimuli to see if she would wake or react." "Who knew science could be so fun?" Minako giggled as she drew black circles around Usagi's closed eyes making it look like she was wearing glasses.

"Subject does not respond to being doodled on." murmured Ami as she began writing information down in a journal. "Oh I know what will wake the Odango Atama up!" Rei yelled as she stood up and ran out of the room in a hurry. "Huh?" went everyone as they noticed Rei had suddenly jumped up and ran out of the room. "Did Rei say where she was running off to?" asked Makoto curiously. "I think she said she really had to go to the washroom, must be pretty bad she sure did leave in a hurry." replied Minako in sympathy.

A few seconds later Rei came back into the room breathing heavily and holding a glass of water in her left hand. "See?" said Minako as she pointed a finger a Rei, "Poor Rei." "Wake up Odango Atama!" pleaded Rei as she threw the glass of water on Usagi's face.

The markers on Usagi's face began to run as she began to gurgle with water stuck in her nose. With a large gurgle she flopped over with her wet markered face pressed into Makoto's legs and let out a large snore. "Subject does not wake after getting cold water in the face." Ami muttered to herself as she began to write again in her journal.

"It seems Usagi must stay here until she wakes up, would that be okay Rei?" asked Luna glancing up at the fire senshi. "Yeah sure grandpa won't mind, will Usagi be okay?" asked Rei as she looked down at her best friend in concern. "I think that Usagi sleeping is a good indicator to tell how she is wherever she is. Only if she appears restless and agitated while she is sleeping should we be more concerned." replied Luna as she jumped up on Usagi's chest and starred into her face thoughtfully.

"If Usagi is staying here, what are we supposed to do about Usagi's parents? It's a school night after all." Makoto said as she gently shoved Usagi's head off of her legs. "Someone will have to masquerade as Usagi." Luna answered smugly while she stared at Minako.

Minako looked around and noticed that everyone was starring at her. "Who me?" she pointed at herself incredulously. "It'll never work Luna, I may look like her and I might be able to fool her friends and teachers at school but her family wouldn't buy it." "Well I couldn't pretend to be her." snorted Makoto as she crossed her arms and smirked at Minako.

"Oh with this you'll have no problems passing as Usagi." Luna mentioned as she tugged something out of one of Usagi's pockets with her teeth. "Here." said Ami as she bent down and picked up the object and tossed it at Minako. Reflex idly Minako reached up and caught the object that had been thrown at her. When she looked down at what she held in her hands, Minako realised it was Usagi's disguise pen. "Well this might work," admitted Minako reluctantly, "but then my parents would worry about where I was."

"Minako, you know they're gone on that vacation for a week." yawned Artemis as he woke up from his nap. He stretched out on the cushion he was laying on and looked around at everyone, his blue eyes glazed over with sleepiness. "Sure Artemis pick exactly now to decide to wake up and say something." grumbled Minako to herself. "Zzzz.snore." went Artemis as he fell back asleep.

Everyone was starring at Minako expectantly as she held the disguise pen loosely in her hand. "Fine I'll do it." Minako said as she held up the disguise pen. "Disguise pen turn me into Usagi Tsukino!" she yelled as sparkles, ribbons and lights surrounded her.

Laughter was heard as the disguise pen transformation ended. "It's Usagi's evil twin!!!" laughed Makoto as she pointed at Minako then starred down at the lightly snoring form of Usagi on the floor.

"Hmm." Rei said thoughtfully as she looked Minako up and down critically. "She looks more like Usagi now but I can still tell them apart." Rei added looking down at Luna for an explanation. "Of course you can tell them apart Rei." replied Luna and added, "Just like your senshi forms, the disguise pen will hide your identity from people who even know you, except from your fellow senshi." "Makes sense." nodded Rei. "The Odango Atama never really did fool any of us when she used that disguise pen." Rei concluded with a smirk.

"Minako you should go to Usagi's house now before her mother gets mad about her/you being late for supper." cautioned Ami as she glanced up from her wristwatch. "Good idea Ami. You know there is one good thing about this, Usagi's mom is a great cook!" smiled Minako heading into the other room and grabbing Usagi's bag. "See you later guys." she yelled out as she left.

After Minako left Rei looked around at Ami and Makoto. "So who's going to help me move sleeping beauty to my room? She may be skinny but all that junk food she eats really makes her weigh more than you'd think."
***********************************

Minako gulped nervously as she stood outside the front door to Usagi's house. Would the disguise pen really be enough to fool Usagi's family? Biting her lips nervously Minako opened the door and crept in trying to be quiet.

A quick glance showed Mr.Tsukino reading a newspaper in a reclining chair while Usagi's brother Shingo was avidly watching a show called Yu-Gi-Oh on television. "It's time to duel!!" blared the television as Shingo's eyes took on a slightly glazed look as he continued to stare. "Must buy more Yu-Gi-Oh cards." droned Shingo in a zombie like voice.

Curiously Minako stared at the television screen and saw a guy with wild purple, yellow and black spiked hair dressed in black and blue holding a card. 'Yikes who's his hair stylist?' she cringing mentally.

"Usagi is that you?" came a voice from the kitchen. 'Epp. That's her mother.' thought Minako who had been halfway to the stairs and sneaking to Usagi's bedroom unnoticed.
She plastered a big smile on her face as she turned around and faced Mrs. Tsukino who was heading out of the kitchen. Even when she had been trying to be quiet Usagi's mother had still heard her.

"Hi Mrs. err mom is supper ready yet?" asked Minako nervously. "Supper won't be ready for a few minutes yet dear, why don't you go study for that big History test you have on Tuesday?" asked Mrs. Tsukino. "Sure thing mom!" grinned Minako as she ran up the stairs and dashed into Usagi's room shutting the door quickly behind her.

"My I've never seen Usagi so anxious to study before I hope she's not coming down with anything." worried Mrs. Tsukino as she headed back to the kitchen to finish preparing supper.

Minako found herself in a very messy bedroom with clothes and books strewn across every available inch of the room. It was hard to believe it but the room was actually cleaner than hers was. Deciding to 'study' Minako grabbed a manga called "Rurouni Kenshin" and started reading it while she sat cross-legged on the floor near the bed.
***********************************************

'You know you're really grumpy sometimes Wufei-san' pouted Usagi as she crossed her arms unhappily. 'I'm not a grouch.' frowned Wufei as he walked over to the broken window and glanced down at Duo. "Get back up here Maxwell, we have things to discuss!" shouted Wufei as he glared down at Duo. "What? You think I can fly or jump back through the window?" asked Duo in disbelief while he tried to hide an amused smirk that was spreading across his face. "You know Usagi is right too. You are a grouch sometimes, you need to get more beauty sleep Wufei." he added grinning like a madman up at Wufei.

Growling Wufei placed his hands on the window sill and prepared to jump out the window to get Duo when Hiiro placed a firm but gentle hand on his shoulder. "We all need to talk about our current situation intact." he stated simply before turning around and heading out the bedroom door. He was right, the girl being stuck in their minds now did rather complicate things a lot more.

'I'm sorry Mr. Wufei I didn't mean to make you mad.' said Usagi's sorry sounding voice in his head. 'Just don't do it again onna and tell that braided moron to hurry up and get back inside, we're all going to talk.' replied Wufei leaving the room after Hiiro. 'Sure thing Wufei-san' smiled Usagi happy that the sometimes-scary Wufei guy wasn't mad at her. Looking at each Quatre and Trowa shrugged and followed in Wufei's wake.

'Hey he didn't jump out the window after me.' sighed Duo somewhat disappointed. 'That Hiiro guy stopped him and then said that he wanted all of us to talk. Then Wufei said to tell you to hurry up & get back inside so we could talk.' answered Usagi relaying Wufei's message to Duo. 'The bunny has good hearing I see.' teased Duo as he headed back inside.

They passed a mirror on their way in as Usagi gave mental directions to where the others were for Duo. Usagi got to see what Duo looked like as he starred at his reflection for a split second. Long silky looking chestnut brown hair in a braid, black clothes and violet-blue eyes that were both similar and different to hers in ways she couldn't explain exactly.

'Did you like what you saw?' impishly asked Duo. 'Iie.' blushed Usagi in embarrassment knowing Duo had heard some if not all her thoughts regarding him, and wished she wasn't in Duo's head anymore and blinking when the swirling lights around her changed slightly. The pink light was now glowing slightly more brightly than it's companions and Usagi found herself in Quatre's mind. She concluded that she could switch minds but still have private conversations with one of the others even if she wasn't in their mind entirely at the moment.

'Konbanwa Quatre, and gomen for going in your mind.' apologized Usagi meekly. 'Ohayo Usagi-san and its all right I didn't notice you were in mine now until you mentioned it.' he blinked in surprise. The only difference was that he could hear her thoughts louder now like she was closer, which she was since she was in his mind, speaking of which... ' Duo didn't say. Err. Think anything offensive to you did he?' thought Quatre slightly concerned. 'Well no.' blushed Usagi in embarrassment again as the object of her acute embarrassment came bounding into the room with a big grin plastered on his face. 'Talking in the dining room? What a great idea Hiiro, we can eat and talk this way." complimented Duo taking a seat. 'Hnn.' replied Hiiro.

It hadn't been the reason why, but he'd let Duo think that since he was kind of hungry. Carefully he analyzed each of his former gundam pilots faces before he spoke, knowing the girl Usagi would hear what he said. He had been inside Tsukino Usagi's mind and knew what an innocent, kind, pure person she was in comparison to them all. Their hands should have been covered in the blood of the people they'd killed and he considered his the bloodiest of all. It just seemed unfair for someone like her to be in their minds.

"Our minds are unfit for you to be Tsukino Usagi." while he watched the expressions on his companions each change differently. Trowa's face turned thoughtful over what he had just said, while Wufei looked kind of angry for having spoken what he said. Duo had a confused look on his face for a second before it turned suspicous as he glanced at Hiiro and wondered what he was up to. Quatre just nodded his head in agreement to what Hiiro had said.

'He's right Usagi, we've all done such horrible things in the past especially me.' admitted Quatre.
What did they mean? They seemed like regular nice guys to Usagi, well maybe except for the fact that Wufei kept on trying to kill Duo. What terrible things could they have done? 'What do you mean?' she asked in confusion.

Silence followed as no one answered her question and she began to get irritated as the seconds went by. Shockingly it was Trowa who finally answered her question before she screamed in frustration. "We are soldiers of war, we have all killed those who stood in the path to peace." 'You're all killers?' asked Usagi in disbelief. It couldn't be true, they didn't act like killers. 'No! It can't be true! You're all good people, I know you are!' she shouted in denial, refusing to believe people she liked could do things like that. "We have all killed innocents." added Quatre as he thought back to the time he had piloted the Wing Zero.

Usagi's eyes widened as images founded her mind. A man-like giant robot blowing up a colony with one of its' many weapons it had. A plane with Oz written on the side being torn in half by another human like giant robot wielding what looked like a giant lightsaber. A little girl with a puppy, smiling as she held out a flower to someone. A teenage girl with black hair in twin ponytails standing in a field of flowers. An angry young man being shot by a strange looking doctor holding a gun. The ruins of a church and a dying nun lying broken in the smouldering rubble.

They had all been through so much and had to deal with the guilt of it afterwards. Guilt that they believed would never go away until they either died or forgot. She understood them somewhat since she went through similar trials and difficulties as Sailor Moon. Not making it on time when Youma attacked and an innocent dying because of her tardiness. Not trying hard enough in a fight and one of her friends getting hurt because of it.

There were days she wished she was just a normal teenager so she didn't have to deal with all the problems she had as being Sailor Moon. But then who would protect people from the forces of evil? Usagi thought she understood them but could she tell them that? Did they realise that she had just about as much blood on her hands too? They thought she was a normal junior high student. Could she tell them she was Sailor Moon?

'I think I understand how you guys feel about having the blood of innocents on you're hands and feeling guilty, I have a confession to make. I am a soldier of love and justice, a pretty soldier in a sailor suit, I am Sailor Moon.'

A snore followed her statement, as Duo had fallen back asleep. His head resting on the table as drool dribbled out of the corner of his mouth. The other gundam pilots wondered what Usagi had meant, they didn't know who Sailor Moon was and now Duo was loudly snoring ruining their chance to ask her about Sailor Moon.

Glaring Wufei got up and went over to wake up Duo. "Wake up! Now's not the time to be napping Maxwell!" he shouted raising his fist to knock Duo on the head. "Wait don't do that!!" yelled Quatre in alarm as he waved his arms, with Usagi in their minds who know what would happen if Wufei hit him. But it was too late Wufei had already knocked Duo on the head, making him slide out of his chair onto the floor.

Usagi screamed in pain when Wufei hit Duo in the head. It felt like she was being split in half and then she felt herself begin to wake up.
******************
"Man I must have dozed off, sorry guys." yawned Duo as he sat up and saw a girl with long black hair and violet coloured eyes smile at him happily. "Who are you?" Duo asked as he looked around and noticed he was in a new room. Then he looked down and screamed in horror. He had breasts!! "Usagi are you okay?" asked the girl in concern.
