Ami knocked lightly on the classroom door to which she had been called down to. She was not quite sure as to why she was there, but she was hoping that she was not in any sort of trouble, especially so close to graduation.

"Come in," she heard a man say from the inside.

She opened the door and slipped inside, closing the door behind her. There were no artificial lights, just light coming in from the sole window in the room. "H-hello," she mumbled as her insides did summersaults.

"Please, don't be afraid," a man cooed as he crossed the room to stand next to her. He looked her over, which made Ami slightly uncomfortable.

"May I ask, Sir, as to why I was called here?" she asked, stumbling over her words in her fright. She had never seen this teacher at her school, so why she had been called here, she could not imagine.

"You see, Ms. Mizuno, I have been watching you for some time..." he said as he locked the door.

"Who are you?" Ami asked as she pulled out her wand.

"There will be none of that Sailor nonsense," the man said as he grabbed both of Ami's wrists in one of his hands. He snatched the wand from her and threw it across the room.

"Who are you, and how do you know about the Scouts?" she asked as her heart began to beat fiercely.

"I told you I've been watching you," he said evilly. "Now, how to finish you off?"

"Please, let me go!" Ami cried as her brain fought to regain control of her frightened body. If she could only get to her COM or her Henshin Stick.

A crash caused the man to turn around. A tall, muscular brunet wearing a green tank-top and black shorts stood with a gun pointed at the man. "Who are you?" the man holding Ami growled.

"That's none of your business; now, release the girl," the teen commanded, staring down the man.

The man smirked before throwing Ami against the wall. "You can't hurt me with that!" the man said as the room, despite the window allowing in light, began to grow dark.

"Get out of here!" Ami yelled as she scooped up her wand.

The teen glanced at Ami before firing at the man. The man stumbled back as every shot hit, but he appeared to be unaffected by the assault.

"Leave!" Ami demanded before holding up her wand. "Mercury Star Power!" she cried.

The two men covered their eyes as a bright blue light cut through the darkness that had taken hold. After several long seconds, the light died down and where once Ami stood, now stood the Senshi of Ice, Sailor Mercury.

"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" the Sailor Scout cried as she released sheets of ice into the evil being.

The man cried in pain before shattering into thousands of ice particles. The brunet stood, staring at the Sailor Scout.

"What's going on in there?" someone, most likely a teacher, called from the other side of the door.

"What the hell?" the brunet asked, looking the girl over.

"Come with me, and I'll explain," she said she moved to the window. She turned to see the brunet nod before she jumped out the window.

--

"Explain," the brunet demanded as Ami de-transformed.

"My name is-,"

"Ami Mizuno. Grade: 12, ranked: one in your class. Daughter to a famous local doctor and an artist. I know that," the brunet growled.

Ami stumbled backwards, suddenly fearing the teen that had just helped save her life. "Who are you? How do you know so much about me?" she asked, clutching her wand, ready to transform at any second.

"Don't," the brunet instructed. "My name is Heero Yuy. I've been following you for days now."

"W-why?" Ami asked, feeling the color rise in her cheeks. This unusual teen had been stalking her, but he had also saved her…Her mind was racing with mixed emotions on the teen before her.

"I have my reasons," Heero answered. "Now, explain what happened back there."

"I-I am a Sailor Scout, one of the defenders of the Moon Kingdom," she said, blushing even deeper. She had just told her biggest secret to a perfect stranger who had been following her.

"Moon Kingdom?" Heero asked. For some reason, that name seemed to ring a bell, though he was quite sure he had never discussed with any of the doctors something as ridiculous as a kingdom on the Moon.

Ami cocked her head to the side and studied the face of the teen. Something about Heero made her feel safe. "Heero..."

"Yes?"

"Ami!" came from her communicator.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," she said softly.

"You can't," Heero commanded.

Ami shook her head. "Next time, since you know where I live, knock if you want to know something about me…"

With that, Ami left Heero standing alone.

--

Ami laid stretched out on her couch. Three youma attacks in one day, it was a new record. She had neglected to tell the other Scouts about Heero and the man in the classroom. She knew that they would all freak out and insist that she not be alone, which all she really wanted now.

A knock on the door startled Ami. She glanced at the clock on the wall. It read 9 pm. "Coming," she called, though why someone was knocking on her door at this time was beyond her.

She slowly rose from the couch and walked to the door. She looked through the eyehole and saw a sight she never thought she would. The boy from earlier was standing, waiting for her to open her door.

Ami quickly unlocked the door and pulled it open. "Hello, Heero-san," she muttered as she stepped out of the way for him to enter.

"Hn," he replied as he entered. He took a seat on the couch, noticing the warmth, assuming that she had been sitting there before he had knocked. "Moon Kingdom."

"Well," Ami sighed as she felt a blush coming to her pale cheeks. "My friends and I are reincarnated princesses from a time when there was total peace. We are also the sworn protects of the Princess of the Moon.

"It's our job to ensure that time peace comes by defeating the Negaverse through our powers that you viewed earlier today. I-I'm not sure why I feel so comfortable telling you all of this, Heero, but I do. If any of the other Scouts found out that I told you, they'd never forgive me."

"Do I know you?" Heero asked, putting a stop to her incessant babbling.

Ami stopped, examining the brunet. He had on a green tank top, showing off his well-toned arms and a pair of black spandex shorts that left little to the imagination. Ami turned away, blushing a deeper red (if that's possible). Hopefully, he hadn't caught her staring. "N-no, I don't believe so," she muttered softly.

"Then why," Heero started as he grabbed her arm, "do I have dreams about you?"

Ami's head snapped around and she examined the boy. His Prussian eyes seemed to be incased in ice, but if one looked deeper, past that ice… "Beg your pardon?"

It was Heero's turn to speak. "For weeks now, I've been having dreams about you. I'm not even supposed to be able dream."

Ami's face turned another shade darker. The closest she had ever had a man dreaming about her was Greg having visions about her, not quite the same thing. "I-I'm not sure what to say, Heero."

The two stared at each other until a beeping from Ami's "wrist watch" caused her to pull away from the boy. She flipped it open. "Yes?"

"Ames, looks like there's another attack on the high school," said a high-pitched female voice said quickly.

"Understood," the blue-headed girl responded.

Heero watched the girl speak. He could see her face visibly pale as she spoke over the COM. "A mission?"

"Something along those lines," the girl said with a sad smile. "I'll be back as soon as I can. Make yourself at home until I get back. Mercury Star Power!"

Again, the blue light filled the room. And once again, Ami was replaced with the girl in the blue sailor fuku. She shot another smile at Heero before opening the window and jumping from it.

--

Ami returned sometime later, using the front door this time. The battle had lasted longer than she had estimated it would. The youma had nicked her shoulder with an attack. As she stepped in all of that was forgotten. She saw Heero, asleep on the couch.

Ami blushed as she watched the boy. She reluctantly diverted her eyes as she walked into the guest room, grabbing the comforter off the bed. She marched back in and gently placed the blanket on the brunet.

It was then, standing over him that she noticed the sweat on his brow. Upon closer examination, Ami noticed that, though as minuet as it was, his face flinched as if he were having a bad dream.

"Heero," Ami breathed, gently shaking the tall teen. "Heero, wake up."

Heero's eyes snapped open as he pulled out a hand gun, pointing it at Ami. She gasped, snatching her hand back as she fell to the ground. He looked around before slowly lowering the gun. He sat up, knocking the cover to the ground.

"Heero, are you all right?" Ami asked as her heart slowly regained it's natural rhythm.

The brunet raked his hands through his already messy hair as he watched out the window. That was a matter of opinion, being all right. He had another dream, this time, more violent than any of the other ones.

He had been fighting, along side several other figures that he could not make out. They had all used swords to fight the shadow creatures.

One by one, the people around Heero had fallen, leaving him to fight overwhelming odds. Only one word escaped his lips as he fell to the enemy…

"Ami…" he muttered softly.

"Yes?" the blue-headed girl asked, looking up at him from the floor.

He looked down at her and felt confused. This girl…what was her connection to him? Why couldn't he stop thinking about her? "Damn it," he muttered, clutching the gun tightly in his hand.

"Heero-san, are you all right?" Ami asked again, gently laying a hand on his knee.

Heero nodded. "Have to go," he said as he stood up.

"A-all right," Ami said as she pushed herself up off the ground. She walked with him to the door before opening it for him. "Good night."

"Hn."

And he left.

A/N: First off, thank you to everyone who's read/reviewed my first chapter! I was a little afraid as to just how well this story was going to be accepted. That's why the first chapter was so short. My sister and I agreed that neither of us wants to work really hard on something that won't be accepted very well. BUT, now that I see people actually like it, I will do my best to get new chapters up on a regular basis.

Again, thank you to nequam-tenshi, GracedAngel1864 and suiseinomitsukai for encouraging me to keep going! Hopefully, the chapter length of this chapter (kinda redundant) will suffice until I can get the next one done.
