The wind howled in fury as it rustled the leaves on the
trees. Heavy clouds consumed the sky
above and the winter snow was heavy upon the ground. A lone figure walked along the side of the streets calmly,
humming a holiday tune to herself. Her
violet eyes twinkled with happiness as she saw the millions of happy chatting
teens as they walked past her. Many
people smiled back to her, but her smile was not totally there as she watched
couples hold one another for warmth.
She wrapped her coat tighter around herself and slowly walked into the
front gates of her school as a group of girls ran to greet her.
"Rei-chan!"
a bubbly blonde yelled as she ran, but she tripped at the priestess's
feet. Rei gave a small laugh and
kneeled down to help the girl up.
"Be
more careful Usa, you may be caught by one of the professors and sent back to
grade school." She said in a humored tone.
The other three girls laughed as well when they heard this and Usagi
stuck out her tongue.
"Meanie."
She mumbled.
"Usa,
how many times must I remind you to not act so childish. We are in college now and you should really
act your own age." Ami stated calmly as the others just sighed.
"So
Rei, where did ya go? Meet any new guys yet?" Makoto asked as she got a starry
hopeful look in her eyes. Rei just
smiled and shook her head no. Makoto frowned
at this and Minako poked her in the ribs playfully.
"Sorry
to break up the moment here, but I have to get up to my dorm, coming Mako?" Rei
asked as she looked at her close friend.
Makoto looked at her nervously for a moment before opening her mouth to
speak.
"Rei-chan,
we aren't exactly what you would call roommates, we're more like
neighbors. See, the college was
overcrowded this year and the people had no choice but to mix and guys and
girls. So, you and me now have to share
our rooms with guys." Mako said in an excited voice as she thought about the
cute boy she was destined to meet.
"Get
over yourself Mako and just come on." Rei muttered as she grabbed the dreamy
girl by the ponytail and walked towards the dorms. The others three girls just stared after the pair with giggles
and soon walked towards the cafeteria.
Usagi raced towards the line as it began to crowd, but ran into someone
as she turned around from looking behind herself. A grunt was heard as she fell to the ground and her eyes met a
pair of deadly ice.
"Get
off me." A harsh voice replied as she was shoved to the ground. A boy with onyx eyes and black hair glared
at her as he picked himself up. She
kept her eyes upon him as he moved gracefully through the halls and all thoughts
of her precious Mamoru were gone.

Rei
slowly lowered her luggage onto the floor as she looked around her room in
disgust. The wallpaper was chipped here
and there and the carpets had stains all over them. She sighed to herself as she slowly eased herself onto her bed
and the springs squeaked under the pressure.
Her eyes drifted together slowly, but soon the door was slammed and she
sat up quickly. The wooden floors
squeaked as objects were thrashed around outside and she slowly made her way to
her door. She opened her door as the
cold knob twisted beneath her skin and she gasped as a sight of bare skin met
her. A man about her age set at the
table scrolling through a page on his laptop, totally unaware of her
presence. The soft glow of the screen
made his bronze skin radiate and he enchanted her. His face seemed to be set in stone and showed nothing of his
emotions. His chocolate hair fell into
his face and covered his eyes in a mask of shadows. She leaned forward to get a better look at him, but his head rose
to look at her and she felt her heart begin to race at the sight of him. His icy Prussian eyes glowed with no emotion
and emptiness that seemed to be his soul.
Heero
opened the door to the dorm room as the keys clattered on his chain. He threw them onto a small stool near the
door and drew off his leather jacket as well.
He flung it onto a small chair in the middle of the room and his wife
beater sent along with it. He lowered
himself onto a small chair and turned to face a small desk, which his laptop
set upon. His eyes were set upon the
screen, but he felt someone's eyes upon him from the other room. One hand rest on his computer while the
other lay comfortably on his gun within his jeans. He heard the door creak and he turned his head to look at the
intruder that had snuck in on him. His
eyes fell upon a slim figure as the girl gasped in shock as she finally saw his
face. He raised his eyebrow, as he
looked her majestic features taking in her beauty. From her violet hair that reminded him of the very sky at
midnight to the violet eyes that looked almost black. Her creamy ivory skin made her totally noticeable and the way her
shoulder length hair fell into her face made her more breathtaking.
"Rei
Hino I presume?" he asked as he stood slowly.
He saw the girl numbly nod her head and opened the door fully to look at
him.
"Hai,"
she answered as she walked into the small room. She averted her eyes away from him as a blush stained her cheeks
and played with her short hair. She
felt an aching feeling at all she hair that was missing and sighed with
annoyance as the layers played softly with her cheeks. She looked back at the mysterious man in
front of her and realized that he stood only a few inches away from her. Her eyes were glued to his chest but she
soon raised them to meet his eyes. She
saw him smirk a bit and then she felt a fire start to rage within her.
"I'm
Heero Yuy, your new roommate."
