After

He would not kill again.
It was a promise he would never break.
But that didn't mean the idea would never cross his mind, considering the fact half the time he didn't how to deal with her and half the time he wanted to strangle her, hell, kill her or –
Hiiro Yui glared sullenly at the annoying form that was Usagi Tsukino.
As if sensing the annoyance emitting from the trailing, sulking man, Usagi skipped over to him and tugged his arm, a grin vacating her features.
"Hiiro-kun, if you don't hurry up," Usagi said sniggering, "Relena-chan might get a hernia. After all this is your first time since you last met her." The last words were said softly.
Hiiro stared at her, bemused.
"You really want to meet her don't you?" Hiiro commented, albeit darkly.
Usagi smiled, "Yeah, I do."
He grunted in reply and grasped her hand tightly.
Or kiss her.
Usagi sighed dreamily, "Besides Hiiro-kun. She was a queen. A Queen. I've always wanted to meet other queens."
Hiiro found himself frowning at her response, once again, confused. Other…queens?
"Hiiro, I told you I was a queen in my previous life," Usagi said, deadpanned. Her eyes glimmered in amusement.
"Huh."
She shook her head in dismay, "I had to fight a lot of these crazy women in a skirt and high heels."
Hiiro blinked causing Usagi to giggle.
"And I always say cheesy words before I enter battle."
He once told her that she should write a book.
"My codename was Sailor Moon." She added thoughtfully. "No – Cosmos." She tilted her head slightly and gave him a roguish grin, "Doesn't my previous life sound interesting?"

Months Later…
Everything began with an encounter and it became a domino effect.
That was how it was when anybody meets her.
They can't help but be drawn and pulled like a moth to a flame…
And when that moth gets too close, the flame will expand its wings and wrapped itself around that moth, scorching the wings with its intensity, slowly – almost painfully because it has no other choice.
After all, that is what flames do.
Ami was no exception.
But she was one of those exceptions and for that, she does not burn.
Yet, it's almost too painful to watch that while she does not burn, others burn.
Too painful.
She stood there by the window, contemplating on what to say, cautioning herself of what not to say. His shoulders were slouched, his attention not there altogether and somehow she knew where his attention was. Even if she couldn't see his dark features, she can see.
Ami has seen a lot.
She watched him cross the street, and while she wasn't supposed to meet him (or rather, he wasn't supposed to see any of them) she wanted to meet him anyways; curiosity killed the cat and she wondered what sort of person Hiiro Yui was to be able to gain any sort of attention from her queen.
A sad smile fluttered across her features as she adjusted her glasses tentatively, the feeling of apprehension pounding her heart.
What shall we do with you, Hiiro Yui?
The doorbell rang.

And every time I try to say 'I love you', the words die in my throat…
Author's Notes: Ick...Angelight will kill me. Anyways, lookie what I got:Angelight's challenge. Okay, it was a 7 page introduction but haha, I cut it to 2 pages because it gave too much, ehh, for the lack of a better word - answers. Introductions are really no fun if I give away everything, this way I bait people...so is it working? But it also gives me the opportunity to save editing time because I wrote way too much - I'm lazy that way okay sniff I just got off work too. I like short intros anyways (so sue me :p ) Wahahaha, I'm done chapter two too if Angel-chan doesn't believe me. There's also my christmas fic which will be aired on Christmas Eve. Happy Christmas everyone!
