The Inner Senshi looked around at each other and then back at the four young men in front of them. They were the only thing standing in the way between them and their princess. Mina looked at the girls and then back the four guys. She slowly took a step forward. Before she could get too far Quatre stopped her with his sword. He held it inches away from her chest. She startled at it's closeness, but stood firmly in place. He started to make little circle eight marks with the sword barely touch her shirt.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't slay you for your betrayal to my sister" He said coldly.

She stared at him in shock. 'Would he really kill me? Doesn't he know who we are!?'

"Well?" He said impatiently.

"B..Because we're her Senshi?" She said nervously.

"And that means what to me? Senshi that dare betray their princess are worthless cowards" He spat at her.

Mina winced at his words and looked past him to Usagi. She glanced at Mina then looked away. Mina frowned and backed away, returning to the group.

Haruka looked at the group and then at Usagi. She tried her best not to meet her gaze. She looked over to the other Senshi who were discussing how to get past them to Usagi. Finally Haruka had enough and walked over there and pried herself between them.

"Did it ever occur to any of you that maybe she doesn't want to see any of you?" She said in a quiet tone.

"Oh your one to talk" Rei hissed.

"Excuse me lil miss fire Princess, we weren't the one's who made her leave now were we?" She said harshly.

Hotaru nodded "We weren't even in town minna. We were in Europe"

"So there for, it's not the Outer's fault" Michiru chimed in.

Rei rolled her eyes and mumbled something under her breath. She sighed heavily and peeked around Mamoru and looked at the five young men. They stared back at the girls with firey hatred in their eyes. She looked over to her right when she noticed that Haruka had made a step towards the young men. She watched in silence and waited for them to attack her.

Haruka walked towards the young men and glanced past them to their princess. She smiled softly as she seen the worry in Usagi's eyes. She walked a little more before the young man with the braid stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Please" She said softly.

"Why should I let the ones who hurt her pass by?" Duo said in a commanding voice. This caused the Inners to wince.

"I didn't do anything to hurt her. Please believe me. Ask Usagi, she knows" She said as if it were her last desperate plea.

Duo glanced back at Usagi and seen her nod. Duo dropped his guard and nodded to the others as they let Haruka pass. Haruka hugged Usagi tightly and whispered apologies to her. When they broke Haruka glanced over to Michiru and Hotaru. They both smiled. Haruka asked Usagi to tell the guards to let Michiru and Hotaru pass. They did so without questioning Usagi's reasons. She hugged them also. She was so relieved to see at least some of her friends.

Quatre noticed that his sister seemed content with these three. Perhaps they didn't do her harm. The hurt would have shown through if they had. So it was now the Inner senshi they had to worry about. Usagi knew he nor his guards would actually kill the Senshi ... but then again, they didn't need to know that. Quatre let his guard down and turned to his sister and the Outer Senshi.

He intoduced him and his guards and vice versa. The five young men tried to decided what to do next.

Rei glanced at the group and back at the Inners. "Okay, so what do we do now?"

"I don't know Rei ... maybe we should just leave" Ami said softly.

"Why? Why should we be the ones to leave?" Makoto said as she crossed her arms.

"We did hurt her Mako-chan ... and I don't think she's forgotten either" Mina said quietly.

"Well, we weren't the only ones that hurt her" Rei said as she glanced at Mamoru.

The glance didn't go unnoticed. "And what are you implying Rei?" He asked

"You know damn well what I'm implying. You broke up with her" She said harshly.

"And how does that compare to the hurt you caused her .. making fun of Usagi, your supposed best friend" He spat at the young Shinto Priestess.

Of course this little tiff didn't go unnoticed by Quatre and his men. They all turned simultaneously to watch the bickering adults. Trowa chuckled to himself before getting elbowed in the ribs by Wufei. Heero stood there and leaned slightly on his sword, which was firmly planted in front of him. Quatre stood there with a bemused look on his face and sighed softly to himself. He looked over at Usagi and noticed the small smile playing on her lips.

Duo, who had quite enough of this, waltzed over to the two and swiped his sword down in between them. They both stopped in mid sentence and looked at the sword, noticing just how close it was to them.

"Do I have to seperate you two!?" Duo said, emphasizing the word "seperate"

Not really knowing just which "seperate" he meant, they both backed down and looked to the ground. Happy with his work, Duo smiled to himself and returned to his place beside Heero. Usagi just shook her head and cleared her throat, catching the attention of all them. The five young men straightened up as if they got caught slacking. Usagi chuckled softly and walked over to the Inner Senshi and Mamoru.

Usagi composed herself and looked up to the Senshi. She tried to smile. "I want you to know that I do forgive you"

They all smiled and looked at each other happily. Then all at once, save for Mamoru, started to apologize to her. Each of them telling her how sorry they were that they had hurt her so badly. She just smiled and nodded. They didn't notice .. but Wufei did.

'She's lying' He thought to himself. 'If she did forgive them, I'd imagine it would take even longer to forget' He noted in the back of his mind to beat the crap out of the one called Mamoru.

She cleared her thoat again and looked at the Senshi sternly. "Although I do forgive you, please don't be mistaken by it's intension."

"What do you mean .." Mina asked

"It means that though I do forgive you, it was more so for the good of the 'team' and because I'm able to easily forgive .. no matter how much it may still hurt" She said as she looked away, tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Please ... we promise we won't ever make the same mistake again" Rei said, almost pleadingly.

Usagi just smiled and walked towards her brother. They started to follow her when they was stopped by Wufei and Heero.

"Please ... can't we just talk to her some more?" Ami asked them.

Heero glared at the group while Wufei spoke. "Not now. She will come to you when she is ready. Let her be"

"But she needs to know that we're serious. We promise to protect her, like we had always done!" Makoto half shouted.

Heero looked around "I'm sure there will be coming battles.. days this quiet do not go unnoticed by the enemy"

Wufei nodded "When that day comes" He narrowed his eyes at the group "We shall see just where your loyalty lies"
