Oh, yeah. Umm…please vote for who gets to be with Haruka. Don't get me wrong, Michi and Ruka are a great pair but I wanted to show Haruka as more female and desirable. I'm leaning towards Wufei or Trowa, but I am open to suggestions! I'll shut up now and let you read!

Haruka Tenoh released a sigh as she looked up at the aircraft carrier before her. It, without a doubt, held five young pilots…she let out another sigh.

"Is there a problem, Tenoh-san?" "Iie,iie. I'm fine," Haruka nonchalantly answered the ageing man at her side. "Dr. J, what's up? Are we going inside or not?" Dr. J flashed her the crooked grin that always sent a sinking feeling to Haruka's stomach. "Eager to meet the boys, are you?" Haruka narrowed her eyes and let a growl escape her throat. She knew he'd respond with that. The year she spent in his company made him all the more predictable; she even anticipated his answer to her threat: Dr. J simply chuckled and waved away the death glare she sent his way. "No one seems to be answering the door, Tenoh-san. If you're in such a hurry, I'll use my clearance card to get in." As Dr. J typed in the code, Haruka sighed yet again and smoothed down her skirt.

It was Dr. J's insistence that she'd dress like a woman. The only explanation he provided was that it would create less of a problem if she went about in dresses and skirts. Haruka didn't understand, especially due to the warnings she got from others who knew the five pilots better than she did. Baring in mind the flirty 02 Hilde had mentioned and the woman-hating 05 that was referred to by Sally Po, she thought it best to be a man.

'I'm certain the old man has a motive behind this,' Haruka thought. He had even taken her shopping! She wore the only outfit she had chosen: a black skirt that fit snuggly at the hips (the only one should find that didn't flare out like the Juuban High school girls' uniform), a white dress shirt, and a black tie.

Haruka was shaken out of her thoughts by the metallic sound of metal scraping metal. She looked up to see the door of the hanger slowly opening. "Shall we, Tenoh-san?" Haruka plastered her best fake grin, "Why not, Dr. J? This should be an adventure."

The pair didn't walk but five steps before they saw two of the pilots. The other creators of the Gundams had made it their personal mission to educate Haruka on the five youths, so the identification of the pilots was simple to her. First she noticed a young man glued to a laptop with unruly brown hair and bangs that fell into his cool, blue eyes. 'Pilot 01. Specialty: hacking, infiltration, demolition, assassination. Protector of Queen Relena Peacecraft. Dubbed the Perfect Soldier. Heero Yuy.'

The second young man would have appeared to be reading a book by the untrained eye, but Haruka knew he had long forgotten the novel in front of him and had taken to observing her every movement with his piercing, green eyes. He had hair a lighter shade of brown than 01 that covered half of his face, but the features she could make out gave away that he was truly a beautiful creature. 'Pilot 03. Specialty: Infiltration through disguise, artillery. Member of a traveling circus. The strong, silent type. Trowa Barton.' Haruka was trying desperately to break her gaze from the mysterious 03, when two blurs zoomed past her.

"Maxwell! Your braid is mine!!" "Geez, calm down, Wu-man!" "Maxwell!!" A boy fleeing desperately, clutching his braid firmly against his body, from an Asian youth wielding a kantana caught Haruka's attention. The first boy's mirthful violet eyes gave a way the fact that though he was terrified, he was having the time of his life. 'Pilot 02. Specialty: Destruction. Self proclaimed Shinigami. Only survivor of the Maxwell Church fire. Duo Maxwell.' The second young man had his jet black hair pulled into a ponytail that gave Haruka a headache just by looking at it. His dark eyes flashed with anger, but Haruka could detect a hint of amusement in them. 'Pilot 05. Specialty: Combat (Hand-to-Hand and Mobil). Scholar and last of his clan. Wufei Chang.' The control he had over his weapon impressed Haruka, but she knew well enough he could of sliced 02's braid clear off his head if he so desired. For a brief moment, Haruka locked eyes with the dark haired pilot. His stare made her as nervous as the one from 03, so she thankfully turned her attention to the newcomer.

"Duo. Wufei. Please! I want to leave this place as we left it! Don't break anything!" He had a timid yet commanding voice and blue eyes that could rival her sweet Koneko's kind eyes. He ruffled his short, platinum blond hair in frustration when he realized he wouldn't be getting a response. 'Pilot 04. Specialty: Strategy. Heir to the Winner business and fortune. Violinist prodigy. Quatra Raberba Winner.'

Dr. J could feel the mounting anxiety from the woman beside him, so he cleared his throat to command the attention of the pilots. With that, Quatra took notice of his guests, "Dr. J. We were expecting you." Quatra's eyes fell upon the girl at the side of the older man and blushed slightly. "Oh, hello. Are you a friend of Dr. J's? nice to meet you. My name is Quat…" "Quatra Raberba Winner. I've been informed already," Haruka answered coolly. She now had the attention of all five pilots.

"How'd you…" Quatra was cut off yet again by Dr. J's explanation, "Gentlemen, I believe I emailed you saying I would personally deliver the next rookie you would be training. I'd like you to meet your next mission, Codename: Kamikaze." He motioned to Haruka and she bowed deeply to hide her smile. The codename was one of the few things they agreed on. She did not want to be Haruka Tenoh to these pilots. She would be Kamikze. Devine wind.

As she rose, Haruka caught a murmur from 05 in his native Chinese tongue. She translated 'Wonderful. First we must train weak rookies, now we are stuck with a weak rookie woman.' Haruka scowled slightly and answered in the same dialect "If you have a problem, 05, do not feel shy to express it openly." Wufei blinked at the tall female's response. The braided pilot noticed the transaction between the two and a crooked smirk quickly spread across hi impish features. Duo crossed his arms in front of him and gave Haruka a wink, "Don't mind Wu-man, babe. He doesn't know how to handle a fine lady like yourself." Haruka simply rolled her eyes at his advances. "Maxwell! Don't call me Wu-man!"

"Well, it seems everything's all set here. I'll be leaving now." It took a few seconds for the magnitude of Dr. J's words to reach Haruka. If h left she'd be alone. Haruka quickly turned on her heels and followed the older man like a little, lost puppy. When they reached the hanger door, Dr. J turned to the younger woman. "Dr. J," she said in a pleading voice barely above a whisper. He smiled the same taunting grin he always did and chuckled, "Come now don't tell me the sky king is afraid of five boys." She avoided his stare and instead toyed with her tie. "How'd I get myself into this." "Everything will be fine, Ruka-chan. Teach those pilots a thing or two" With that, he left.

As the hanger door closed, Haruka slowly inhaled. She didn't know where this nervousness came from, but she knew fighting this new war would do nothing t compound it. She missed her senshi. She missed her prince. Above all, she missed her princess, her Koneko.

She was stirred out of her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder. She whirled around and grabbed the intruder by the collar. "Whoa, girlie. Calm down." Haruka was met with the violet eyes and grinning face of Shinigami. "What do you want, 02?" she asked frustrated. Duo just stood silently staring back at the woman before him. It was then the senshi of the wind realized her situation; her face was mere centimeters from the braided pilot's. She blushed lightly and pushed the amused 02 away. He chuckled softly at Haruka's reaction and through his arm around her shoulder. "Lighten up, Kaze-chan. Let's try and have some fun while you're here." She pulled away slightly, "Kaze-chan?" "Sure, you don't want me to go around calling you Codename: Kamikaze, do you? While we're at it, don't call me 02. Duo's fine." For the first time in a while Haruka gave a sincere grin. It, however, was followed by a good tug at the brunette's long braid. "Ow! What was that for?" "I, my dear Duo, would prefer to be called Kaze-sama," se chuckled softly and walked off to the other pilots. Duo looked on at the retreating woman and tilted his head to the side. 'I'm going to have fun with this one,' he thought as he walked after the rookie pilot.
