Chapter 1

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

xXx

I wish I could stay with you in my memories, where nothing is wrong but nothing is right, and all we know is what we feel – I'll always remember you and love you in the silver fields.

xXx

Space was quiet and empty as usual. The large black plain of nothingness but distant stars and galaxies always made him relax and reflect on the aspects of his life.

WuFei had been doing this a lot recently.

His mind would wonder over the last few years and how his perceptions on life had taken a u-turn since the war. However, lately it was always spinning back to one person. The woman he'd been seeing for the past year. The woman who had told him last week that she loved him.

WuFei sighed as he closed his eyes only to see images of Sally Po behind them, her striking blue eyes twinkling with mischief and her beautiful blonde hair twisted like candy floss thrown over her shoulders. He mentally cursed himself. Why did she have to say she loved him? Why did she have to make their relationship so complicated?

He sat for a moment trying to force himself to hate the woman who could reduce him to anything she wanted. But he couldn't and he hated himself for it, he was strong – women are weak.

"Damn you woman," he growled as he gently opened his coal eyes his mind wondering over the past few years.

The war had ended 5 years ago and it seemed, apart from a few hiccups, people were beginning to accept peace. It was only a few crazed ex-OZ soldiers who seemed to find joy in trying to provoke a revolution.

All the pilots had kept in constant contact, and WuFei found himself creating a particularly close friendship with his once short lived enemy Heero Yuy who also residence on Earth. He enjoyed hearing the others views on maintaining peace. Perhaps Heero would have an answer for his current predicament after all Heero was madly in love Relena Peacecraft. They'd gotten together a year after the war ended and have been in each other's shadow since.

The other pilots resided themselves on the colonies. Trowa rejoined the circus with his sister Katherine which happened to move to L2 2 years ago. Trowa explained – the crazier the people, the more custom they get – Duo goes to see him every week.

In fact Duo and Trowa, WuFei had been told, had become quite a troublesome pair. Sally often has calls from Hilde (the two seemed to have formed a strange friendship since Relena's first celebration after the war) complaining about the latest prank the two had pulled on her. The latest happened to be committed last week on Trowa's day off when the two had timed the sprinklers of Duo and Hilde's house to turn on precisely when Hilde was supposed to get home from the savage yard.

To put it lightly she was not impressed especially after finding the two in fits of laughter on the lounge floor. She chased them with a broom stick for an hour afterwards. Hilde really does have a temper.

Duo and Hilde have been together long before the war finished. They made their relationship public at Relena's Boxing Day celebrations. However, it wasn't intentional. Relena just happened to walk in on them having sex in the cloak room.

Quatre lives on L4 and often visits Duo and Trowa; he'd taken over his father's business since the war ended and was incredible busy, but he always made time for his friends.

All 5 of them and respected partners take it in turns travelling to space and Earth. They meet up once a month. To WuFei is felt like nothing could break their strong bonds. To him, he felt like there was no one else out there who would understand him more than his best friends.

There next meeting was in a day's time – its Quatre's birthday.

Preventer Chang WuFei, a well respected man for his cool and collective manner in stressful situations, launched forward as he recognised the voice yelling over his shuttle transmitter control. His long liquorish black hair slipped over his shoulders in one swift movement. The video monitor blinked a couple of times but stayed blank.

"Come in! This is Preventer Wind! Answer somebody! Over," a raspy voice yelled in panic. Zechs? WuFei hadn't heard from the man since him and Noin left for Mars after the war.

WuFei's coal black eyes narrowed as he quickly picked up the receiver. He felt his heart pick up a beat.

"This is Preventer Dragon, Preventer Wind what is wrong? Over," the transmitter buzzed, the crackling white noise filling the silent, tense cockpit.

"WuFei – Mars – Rebel-" The fuzzy line jumped from one word to the next before a scream, which sounded much like Noin, erupted and then the line went dead. WuFei felt his heart lurch into his throat.

"Preventer Wind!" The line remained dead, "Zechs!" WuFei yelled at the tops of his lungs. Still no reply. He could feel his breath getting short and his body tense. What the hell just happened?

He turned to his shuttle control unit and began typing. He didn't need to look up the coordinates for the shrouded red planet Mars, he was a Preventer and ex-Gundam pilot he was an expert at remembering important things.

His preventer shuttle shot off instantly in the direction of the planet. His shuttle was the fastest in space as he'd worked on it and produced it himself for the last 5 years he'd been working as a Preventer. He predicted he could be there in less than 2 hours since his current position was just off the colony L1 cluster, which luckily for him was the closest to Mars.

He could feel his anxiety building greater and greater and cursed himself for getting so worked up. To calm himself he called the only person who could help. Sally picked up her phone after the first ring, her beautiful face popping up on the video monitor.

"WuFei -"

"Sally we have a situation," he spoke calmly. "I've just received a message off Zechs, its sounds bad." Sally remained silent as WuFei replayed the message transmission. He watched as the look on Sally's face ranged through a mix of emotions before landing on slight panic.

"WuFei, we have to help them!" She cried her blue eyes flashing madly.

"I'm already on my way; I'm just over 1 and a half hours away from Mars-"

"You can't go alone WuFei! From the sounds of it something bad is going on there!"

"Sally I will report back to you as soon as I enter the atmosphere."

"WuFei -" she began to protest before dropping her head. "I'll be on my way in 5 minutes."

"Roger."

Her eyes softened as a sad look came to her face; they hadn't spoken for over a week, "Chang -" WuFei stared into the blue eyes which had been haunting him ever since. He willed his heart not to respond, but it didn't listen – it rose as he took in her beautiful face. "- be careful."

"I'm always careful woman." The corner of Sally's lips twitched upwards before she rolled her eyes.

"Water out," the screen flickered black and WuFei found himself staring at the empty screen for a couple of minutes before sitting back in his seat. He did in fact feel a lot calmer just from seeing Sally's face. He's insides felt warm and tingly but as soon as it did he tried to swash it.

What exactly did he feel for Sally Po?

He trusted her with his life; she was the first woman who made him open his eyes to the other possibilities in life. She made his life worth living after the war. She was tender and always willing to help. He felt better just from being in the same room as her.

WuFei tried to remember what he had felt when being around Miriam, but those memories were so surrounded by hatred and the need for justice that his feelings for his young wife were clouded. He didn't even know if he loved his wife.

He turned his attention to the fastly approaching red planet setting himself into Preventer mode. He had to find Zechs and Noin and make sure they were ok and find out what the hell that message was about. Not long later that he was close enough to take control of the shuttle.

"Manual control," he spoke his voice flat. The shuttles computer picked up on his command and responded quickly pulling out of auto drive. WuFei took control of the shuttle and guided it towards the swirling atmosphere of Mars.

He turned to his transmitter and picked up the control.

"This is Preventer Dragon requesting for landing permission at co ordinates 178. 89. 1. 1" He listened to the crackling waiting for a reply.

"Permission denied." The voice was cool and crisp.

"What?" WuFei found himself yelling, his eyes widening with anger. "I order you to let me land!" Out the corner of his eyes he noticed two vehicles flying his way and out of one of them a spark flashed. He felt himself stop breathing as he recognised the shape of a missile heading his way.

"SHIT!" He quickly took hold of the controls and managed to steer his ship out the way just in time to see the thing shoot past and blow up. Taking hold of his transmitter he yelled, "I come in peace god damn it!"

The shuttles continued to advance on him shooting another two missile's his way.

"If that's the way you want to play it," he murmured as he took off. He quickly glanced down at the shuttles computer. The missiles were travelling faster than him, he needed to out move them. He headed towards one of Mars moons, Phobos, and dove towards its surface. The missiles sped on overhead before blowing to a million pieces.

WuFei narrowed his eyes as he glanced in his rear view image displayed on his laptop screen. The two shuttles were trying to catch up. Picking up his transmitter again he dialled in the secret line for the preventers.

"Preventer Water!" he yelled and waited anxiously for the crackling line to reply.

"I read you Preventer Dragon I'm about 5 minutes away." WuFei felt his heart clench.

"Retreat! You hear me! I have two shuttles trying to shoot me down with missiles. I have no weapons to attack with, and I doubt you have too!" The line is silent for a moment.

"I'm not retreating Dragon – and I always have weapons, so you can go to hell!" He heard Sally's voice reply angrily. "Keep them dancing I'll be there soon."

"SALLY!" WuFei yelled angrily as the line is cut. He growled lowly, when suddenly his shuttle rocketed violently. "FUCK!"

His onyx eyes snapped in front to see another shuttle approaching him. He quickly changed his direction driving the shuttle away from the approaching ship. He noticed briefly from his computer statistics that the blast just hit the back of the shuttle. He had to keep going if he wanted to survive.

He felt his ship rocket again as it took another blast and he swore under his breath as it just missed his fuelling tank. He dropped lower towards the surface of the moon finding the slight gravitational pull making his ship fly faster.

He felt his heart seize as he watched the shuttles release 6 missiles all at once all moving towards him like sharks looming in on their prey. His mouth became dry as he tried to find a way to dodge them.

"Fuck you justice," he snarled under his breath as he thought of the injustice of being attacked and killed by rebels without having any weapons to defend himself. He felt himself grow angry as they grew closer.

"You're all cowards!" he yelled at the top of his lungs as he swung the shuttle into action. He felt it get hit by its first one and then another. He could feel the rumbles rippling through the sturdy ship he'd built and it just made him angrier. The shuttle rocketed and crashed into the surface of the moon causing him to slam into the controls in front of him. He smacked his head on the steering wheel causing droplets of blood to sprinkle out in front of him. He felt his knees slam into the desk underneath. WuFei let his eyes slide shut as his ship lost power and all his computers shut down.

Only one thought came to mind as he waited for his end and it was her. He suddenly had an overwhelming feeling to see her, to touch her one last time – and this time he didn't hate himself for it. He felt his breathing stop.

However there weren't any more blasts as the shuttle came to rest within one of the moons large craters. He remained silent, with his eyes closed waiting for the next lot of missiles to hit – but they never came.

He frowned, feeling his heart beating wildly with adrenaline. He sat in silence for 10 minutes waiting impatiently for his death. The transmitter suddenly crackled to life. WuFei's eyes snapped open and landed onto the machine.

"You Ok WuFei?" Sally's soft voice asked. "They're gone."

"You killed them?"

"No they seemed to freak out when I started to attack back," her voice sounded slightly amused. "How's your shuttle?"

"- broken."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, we've got more important things to worry about."

"Right."

"We're are you?"

"Behind you."

"I'll be right there. Dragon out." WuFei ended the transmission. He tried to stand but felt his knees try to cave underneath him. His head throbbed and he could feel his blood slowly trickling down his face, however he didn't care. His over whelming need to see the woman who'd just saved his life egged him on. He got into a space suit as quickly as he could and exited his battered shuttle.

Sally's was hovering right behind his and he had to jump and float forwards to reach the entry door. Sally was waiting for him as he entered and frowned instantly as she took in his state.

"Auto fly, co ordinates 183. 09 . 67. 2" The co-ordinates for L4 WuFei noted. The shuttle buzzed to life and began to head quickly away from Mars. WuFei's dark eyes trained onto the woman as she led him to the cockpit.

"Jesus you look like you took a beating WuFei." She said as she quickly pulled out a medical kit from under one of cockpit chairs. "You're luckily I used to be a doctor."

WuFei sat in silence as he let Sally tend to his wounds. He noticed the way her body tensed as he refused to look away.

"I don't understand what's going on," he heard her murmur, "why would Mars attack us like that?"

"I don't know." WuFei sighed as she skilfully stitched up the wound on his head before placing a large plaster over it. "But we need to find out."

"We'll have to talk to the others, see what they think."

"I think that's our best option for the moment," Wufei replied his voice wary.

"Hey you can't fall asleep, you may have concussion," Sally ordered. WuFei nodded as he pulled himself so he could sit upright. Sally suddenly handed him a thermo flask.

"Drink the rest of this that should keep you awake." WuFei opened the warm flask letting the strong aroma of coffee whiff up his nose.

"Thanks."

"No problem." He took a large sip of the hot liquid and let it slide down his throat. He figured, by the time they got to L4 which was a 7 hour flight from L1 which was a 2 hour flight from where they were it would be time for Quatre's birthday celebrations. They sat in silence their minds pondering over what happened, while their conscious worried about the Zechs and Noin. It was a while before any of them spoke.

"I'm sorry, about what I said last week – it was stupid," WuFei heard Sally whisper from her position in the pilot's seat. He watched as her beautiful eyes stared out into space. "I thought – heck I was just being a woman, wanting more than something she's already got."

"Sally"

"Don't - make this any worse, WuFei – I'm tired. I'm in love with someone who doesn't love me back so what's new? I'm 25 years old, been to hell and back – I –huph!" WuFei had risen from his seat and twirled her chair around before she could carry on. His lips eagerly brushed against hers, and it didn't matter how tired or achy he felt because he would do anything for this woman. They unwilling pulled away breathless, their foreheads touching and their eyes staring intensely into each other.

"Sally – I -" he mouthed the rest of the words, finding he couldn't speak them. He felt too embarrassed to admit his weakness for this woman. However Sally's eyes were drawn to the shapes his mouth was making and she read them perfectly. He felt her hand grab onto his and squeeze.

"How hard did you hit your head?" She asked pretending to look concerned.

"Pretty hard."

"Figures," she chuckled lightly.

"I don't say things if I don't mean it," WuFei replied.

"But you didn't say anything," Sally's eyes twinkled. WuFei felt his insides snap.

"Woman!" he yelled, "don't play games with me!"

"Sit down before you hurt yourself Chang."

"Why if you were –"

"Come in Preventer Wind, this is Preventer Une did you get to him on time?" Lady Une's calm voice crackled through the cockpit. Sally chuckled to herself as she picked up the transmitter.

"Don't worry I got him, he's fine, just got a little bruise on his head." WuFei narrowed his eyes. Why did he love this woman again?

"Roger, keep safe, Une out." Sally sighed as she placed the transmitter.

"You drank all that coffee?"

"You told me too."

"Great to hear you're finally taking orders."

"..."

"I'll go make some more, it's going to be a long trip."
