1 To Ease The Pain
Five boys stood at a docking bay, waiting for an old friend to show up and tell them why they had been called there. They were scattered around, some sitting on crates yet to be loaded, some standing, and one leaning against a wall looking as if he were asleep.
The two on the crates were in the middle of a conversation about what could possibly be wrong to have the need for all five of them to be brought together. The one speaking, an America, had chestnut brown hair pulled back into a neat braid that almost reached his knees, and eyes that were such an odd colour of blue they looked indigo. He was well tanned, tall, and slim, wearing a black outfit that people often commented made him look like a priest. At first glance, he looked easy to overtake in a fight. However, he was skilled in many types of combat, he even excelled in a few. The person listening to his opinion seemed completely opposite from the boy beside him. He was Arabian, though you wouldn't really notice unless he said so, and had light blonde hair, pale skin, and caring green eyes. His build was like that of the speaker, but he was at least a foot shorter. He wore a pair of tan pants, a white shirt, and a vest overtop, making him look like your average teen. That was a big misconception. He was at least as skilled as the boy next to him, although he didn't take nearly as much pleasure in demonstrating his abilities.
Standing off to the side, listening to their conversation, the other two observed the people around them. The first had brown hair that fell into his face, blocking half of it from view. He had green eyes and a tall lean figure, clothed in a pair of grey pants and a dark green turtleneck. He was skilled in many things, although he mostly dealt in weapons and acrobatics. The second boy was Chinese and had black hair pulled into a tight ponytail and black eyes. He was built like the others and wore white, Chinese style pants and a black undershirt. His love was martial arts, but he could do anything the others could if he felt he needed to.
The leader of the group and the one that kept most to himself, had messy, dark brown hair and prussian blue eyes. He was built like the braided boy, but more muscular. He wore a pair of baggy skater pants (for a change) and a white undershirt, which had surprised the others, since they usually only saw him in his trademark green undershirt and shorts. Out of the entire group, he was the most deadly because of his detachment from things.
Many of the girls that passed them stopped and stared at the group of hotties, but they ignored them and continued to wait. However, a few times, the American would wink at a particularly fine young lady, earning many blushes. "I still think it's a new mission Quatre." The braided boy said. The blonde just looked at a nearby tree, studying its perfect leaves.
"Perhaps Duo. I thought maybe after the order to guard Releena, we'd be…" He trailed off, not really knowing what he had thought.
"We'll always be soldiers." The Chinese boy spoke. "Can you really picture us as anything else?"
"I guess you're right Wufei." Quatre sighed. The person standing by Wufei folded his arms across his chest.
"I can see where you're coming from Quatre. Peace would be nice."
"Itching to get back to your life with Catherine, Trowa?" Duo teased. He turned to the solitary figure against the wall. "What d'ya think Heero, yearning for a normal life with Releena?" He laughed. The other's turned to Heero to see his reaction. The whole group knew he didn't like the Canq kingdom princess, hell, he could barely tolerate her.
Without opening his eyes, Heero drew out his ever-present gun and aimed it at Duo, taking the safety off and actually shooting. The bullet flew just passed his ear, embedding itself in the crate behind him. Duo's eyes widened in shock, before he practically flew off his seat and crashed to the ground, staring at Heero in disbelief.
"Hey man, what's up with you?!" He shouted. "You could've actually hit me!" Heero put his gun away and stood, looking down at Duo.
"You have a big mouth." He stated in a cold, monotone voice. "I was merely using the most effective method I knew of shutting it." Walking over he held out his hand to help Duo up, which shocked everyone since he never intentionally interacted with them unless he needed to. Duo accepted the hand and was pulled roughly to his feet, staring in wonder at his friend. Heero looked straight into his eyes. "Besides," he paused for effect, "you should have seen your face." Everyone's eyes widened. Heero, making a joke? After a moment of silence, the others cracked up laughing, much to Duo's embarrassment.
The group was interrupted as the one they had been waiting for finally showed up. "Glad to see you five have gotten closer." She laughed. They turned to her as one. Before them stood Lutenant Noin, Milliardo Peacecraft, Dr.J, and someone they couldn't see hidden behind the last two gentleman.
"What's up Lutenant?" Duo smiled in greeting. "Haven't seen you in a while." Noin smiled in return and walked up to the group, giving each a friendly handshake.
Her expression grew serious soon after however, and she once again took her position beside Milliardo, glancing at the person behind him. "I'm afraid these are troubled times." She answered.
"When are they not, onna?" Wufei smirked. Despite the way he addressed her, Noin had his respect and all knew it, so she didn't take offence to the term.
"True." She sighed. "Well, I was mostly the escort for this trip, so I'll let these two gentlemen tell you what this is about." The boy's turned to the men expectantly. It was Milliardo who spoke.
"There's a new faction. It's run by someone that even you boys would have a hard time against. He's been through more training then you could imagine for more years then you've been alive. Any kind of combat or weapons skill you could think of, he can execute perfectly. Not only is he physically enhanced, but mentally as well. It took us quite a while to track him down. Any file he needs to hack into, he can. He has great battle strategy and is hard to beat. He's already taken out quite a few of our bases and as far as we can tell, his target is to eventually take over the Canq kingdom."
Noin tapped Milliardo's shoulder, whispering something to him that made him turn to the person behind him and the Dr. By now all of the boy's wanted to know who it was. Dr.J took over. "His name is Mamoru Chiba." There was a whimper from behind him, but he ignored it and continued. "He is 23, and has been the leader of many small rebellion groups before taking leadership of this faction. His basic goal is to take over things from the Canq kingdom. He believes weapons and rules are needed to keep people in line and sees Canq as a threat to humanity. He's a hard and cruel man who is very determined to get what he wants. He's ruthless and a killer, and recently, he's become more hostile because we got a hold of something of his he wants back."
"What?" Duo leaned forward, curiosity glowing in his eyes.
Dr.J looked over his shoulder and nodded to Noin. She reached behind him and took the hand of the hidden person, pulling them in front of her. It was a girl, around 17 years of age.
She was slim and had a figure any girl would be envious of, although she wasn't very tall. Her silvery-blonde hair was done up into a high ponytail with two pieces on each side of her face left down (like Makoto's) and almost reached to her ankles. Her skin was pale and smooth, and her eyes were a strange silver-flecked, crystal blue framed by thick, long lashes. She wore a blue Chinese-style shirt and blaack pants and shoes. They could tell by her stance that she was frightened and could see by the way she looked at them that she had had a rough life. Each of them had to admit, she was beautiful, although Duo was the only one that showed he thought so.
"I don't understand." Quatre confessed. "Why is this girl so important to him?"
Dr.J cleared his throat and looked at the girl. "He's absolutely obsessed with her. She's like a…" He hesitated, not wanting to reveal something the girl didn't want him to reveal.
"I'm a slave." She said bitterly, staring at the ground. Her voice was like a soft purr. The others looked at her, surprised she had spoken. "He says he loves me, but he really just wants to own me." She shook her head, tears forming in her eyes. "At first I believed him. But then he made me…he made me stay with him all the time and made me…give up my innocence to him. I should've ran back the before it was too late, but I've seen how cruel he can be and I was scared!" She cried out as she turned to Noin and fell into the Lutenant's embrace, sobbing bitterly. Dr.J looked at her regretfully.
"He's had her since she was 14." He continued. "And he's absolutely convinced she belongs by his side. He would do anything to get her back. We picked her up with a friend who had helped her escape. She'll be joining you as well. Your mission is to take this girl with you to the Canq kingdom. She'd be safest there. All of you are to enrol into the Peacecraft Academy, to provide cover and you are to protect her with your life."
The boy's glanced at each other briefly before nodding their head in agreement. "Mission accepted." Heero said, watching the sobbing girl.
"Koneko!" A voice called. Everyone turned to see a tall, athletic women with short blonde hair running up to them. The girl tore away from Noin and let the newcomer comfort her instead, clinging on to her as she wept bitterly. The women glared at the group. "Which one of you upset Koneko?" She growled.
"They didn't do anything Haruka. It was my fault, I just…got caught up in bad memories." Haruka frowned down at her in sympathy.
"It's okay Koneko, he won't ever touch you again." She whispered.
The girl stood and wiped away her tears, forcing herself to hide her emotions. If they hadn't seen her just a minute ago, they would never have known she had been crying. Noin placed a hand on her arm and gestured to the men behind her. "We have to go now, Usagi. Haruka will be with you and I'll keep in touch." Usagi nodded as they hugged goodbye. "I'll see you soon." Milliardo also received a hug from Usagi, and she shook hands with Dr.J.
"Thank you for your help." She smiled, all traces of her earlier sadness gone. "I just hope it's not all for nothing."
"Of course it's not." Milliardo replied as the three began to walk away. "Take care of yourself Usa." Soon, they were gone.
Haruka turned her attention to the boy's. "So you're the Gundam pilots? Go figure." Usagi looked up at her in disapproval.
"Haruka don't be rude, you don't even know them." She turned back to the boys, studying each in turn. "Give them a chance. I'm sure they aren't too pleased to be stuck with us either."
Duo reached out and lifted Usagi's hand to his lips, kissing it and making a blush stain her cheeks. "I beg to differ, pretty lady. I'm more then pleased." He said smoothly. Haruka glared at him and the others rolled their eyes. Leave it to Duo. He noticed Haruka's glare, and so backed up and pointed to himself. "My name's Duo Maxwell." He then gestured to the others. "That's Quatre Winner." Quatre bowed. "Trowa Barton." Trowa nodded. "Wufei Chang." Wufei didn't budge. "And Heero Yuy."
Usagi smiled brightly. "Nice to meet you all." She studied Heero before speaking. "You are Japanese, correct?" He didn't say anything, so she dropped it and turned back to the others. "I am Usagi Tenou and this is Haruka Tenou."
"Tenou's not your real last name." Heero said in his usual monotone, looking Usagi directly in the eye. She swallowed, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze. How had he known?
"No it isn't. But I never did know my own, and Haruka's like a sister to me." She replied, her voice wavering. Not wanting to play 20 questions, she took a hold of Haruka's hand and pulled her towards the shuttle that would take them to the Canq kingdom. "I think we should get going, don't you?"
The others followed, with Heero lagging behind. There was something about this girl that intrigued him. He would have to be careful around her.

A.N: Well? What d'ya think?? I'll get the next chapter out depending on how many reviews I get. I don't really wanna use up my time working on this story if no ones interested in it. The pairings will most likely be Heero and Serena if I continue. Also this would turn out to be a big Releena basher! It's not that I don't like her, it's just that…well actually I don't like her much.
Please review if you think you'd be interested in me writing more!!
