Thanks for reading my story and I hope that all of you enjoy it.

Chapter One: Mission Accepted
"Listen up boys because I'm only going to say this once. We need this target. Not only is this target vital for the work we do here at the Preventers, but it is also a valuable asset in keeping the peace we have already worked so hard to achieve."
"I don't mean to be rude but how is this particular target of any importance to what we are doing here?"
Une paused for a moment, starring at the blonde in front of her with interest.
"This target possesses what you pilots fail to posses, along with a few more attributes, but right now the most important is the first mentioned," Une smiled slightly as most of occupants of the room rose from their seats.
"So, you're replacing us then," Duo said his eyes daring her to confirm it.
"You must be full of it onna if you think that someone has what we don't."
"I agree with Wufei on this. There are not many people out there capable to match us let alone have something that we don't. We were all trained to be superior," pausing Trowa gives a side way glance at Heero, "or perfect fighting machines."
"Hn."
"I don't really care whether of not you think that this person has something you don't because that fact of the matter is, they do," she said holding up her hand that held a small controller, "and this is the target boys."
Pressing the button on the controller the lights flickered to a soft dim lighting and the plain white wall that had been there was now covered in a glowing document of some sort.
"Hmm…you mean to say you made a power point for a target that is just a piece of paper," Duo said his mouth hanging slightly ajar.
"I believe this piece of paper contains information on our target Duo," Qautre said a soft grin crossing his face.
"That is correct Qautre," Une sighed, taking a seat, "this is all the info we have on her."
"Hmm, the target is seventeen years old but age isn't everything, even the youngest can be powerf--- what? Did you say 'her'?"
"I do believe she did and I for one refuse to work, or hunt down some young, bratty onna."
"Do you have a picture of the girl?" Heero said, a slightly aggressive edge to his voice.
Une nodded, pressing the button once more to reveal a brightly colored picture that was no doubt taken in the spring.
"Woohoo! Sign me up for this assignment I'm in!"
"Shut up and listen Maxwell."
The picture in front of them was a lovely picture; even Wufei seemed to be interested in it. The girl in the picture was smiling, her teeth showing white, and her cheeks glowing with laughter. The scenery behind her was lovely as well; a beautiful field of rainbow colored daises decorates the picture in front of them. Her hair was red, and pinned back, long curls streaming down her back and spilling to the grass that surrounding her. The eyes were a beautiful green, matching perfectly with the light jade blue of her loosely fitting shirt, and white flowing skirt. It was all the perfect picture of…
"Innocence," Wufei stated distastefully.
"That is exactly what this girl has; her innocence and un-tainted nature make her a now mandatory asset to us. You may be asking why her? Why not someone else? Because along with that peaceful nature this girl is also wanted dead, for reasons unknown at this point. But since some of the most powerful enemies to the Preventers want her dead that gives us even more reason to want her alive."
"What does her innocence have anything to do with this?" Quatre asked his face now set, and his eyes never leaving the picture.
"She can help us. Everyone that works here has been tainted by the war. We need a source that hasn't, and at this point we need one that is also strong. She fits the category perfectly. We need her advice. We are slowly losing our peoples sway, and more and more are rebelling. We need someone who is cared about by many, and known about by many," she said her finger now hitting the button as picture, after picture was being displayed across the white wall.
"Wow..."
The pictures were showing just how much she was known, and loved. There was one of her in a park, surrounded by laughing people, a small blush adorning her cheeks. The next she was at a dinner party smiling brightly at the faces of the heads of the colonies. There were others as well, a ballet, a picnic, and finally it settled on the last one, and the best it seemed. In it she had her hair in two very elegant pigtails, her arms encircling a young girl around the age of three.
"She has a child," Duo asked a bewildered look on his face.
"It's not her child, although after talking with the people form the orphanage we've come to find that she would like nothing more then to adopt this little girl, but sadly for the alarming amount of people that want her dead, she has decided against it."
"So, we have to do what? Are we just going to walk up to her on the street and ask if she wants to come to the Preventer head quarters so that she could use her awesome innocence to help us out, I hardly think that is going to work," Duo said a triumphant grin across his face, as if he were proud of the witty remark.
"You idiot if Une ever thought she would come peacefully then she wouldn't have gotten a hold of us. Baka."
"Hey! Well, how was I supposed to know that?"
"Hn. What's her name?"
"Her name is Lillie Cadhla."
"Irish?"
"Yes Qautre. It is an odd last name because it is mostly used as a first name."
"What exactly do you want us to do at this point?"
"I need you to capture her. You may use force if you have to, and if all else fails some sort of leverage. I would suggest you try to take her when she is most vulnerable, and more apt to do as you say. This Saturday would perhaps be the best time. She is planning on taking the little girl out with her for a shopping trip. It's a monthly trip they both take. Do not harm the little girl. First try to abduct her Friday, and then use the Saturday to your advantage."
They were all staring at her now, a curious look on each of their faces. Heero, was looking as if he enjoyed the thought of a lovely Saturday being ruined by them. Wufei was looking as always as if this mission was below him, and that the thought of not one but two "onnas" was making him agitated. Duo and Trowa were now sitting there a thoughtful expression on one face, and an over excited expression on the other. Qautre was looking however a bit nervous, and as if he wanted to be doing anything but ruining someone's perfect Saturday.
"Listen Qautre after she is captured, and we get done with her here she'll need a place to stay."
"I have plenty of space Miss Une. Lillie will be able to stay there as long as needed."
"Thank you Qautre because it may be a very long time before she will be able to return home."
"I was thinking. Isn't Relena good enough for the people, or is she losing her touch?"
"Duo, its not that Relena is losing her touch, its just we need someone who is not only someone the people look up to but part of the people. Relena unfortunately has never really been apart of the people due to the mere fact that she has always grown up in boarding school, and rich society life. This girl has been apart of both."
"Then we better get a move on," Trowa said heading toward the door, "I'm going to go and pack."
"That would be a good idea for the rest of you. Your next destination is earth, and your flight will leave tomorrow morning at 5:00 am. I know it's an early flight but this needs to be done. I have the address where you will reside at until then and after you capture her you will bring her to the main Preventers head quarters on earth. Then you will all return to Qautre's place," giving them all a stern look she waited for a response that was given almost immediately.
"Mission accepted."

A/N: Thank you all for reading. I do hope to get some reviews and will have the second chapter posted very shortly. I just want to know if I should continue this. This is a somewhat revised version of chapter one.
