"You know you couldn't stay, Koneko-chan."

I don't reply.

"This is the way it has to be...gomen nasai..."

I still don't reply. How dare they!?! They think that a simple apology should fix
everything!!! Never. There was only one thing that will fix everything...and that
was going back. Going back to Heero.

They were talking about me. The Outers. They knew it annoyed me that they talk
about me in third person as if I wasn't there...

"She won't respond." Haruka whispered.

"Give her time..." Setsuna replied sadly. "But...it's time for her to meet the Inners."

Haruka and Michiru's faces darkened imediately. I knew my face was blank. I
wouldn't give them the pleasure of knowing what I'm feeling right now...I wouldn't
give them the pleasure of knowing that my heart was breaking in two...my soul was
being ripped apart...and I missed him...

"Are you ready to go, Koneko..."

I nodded. Then sighed softly...thinking...what if they had never come...would I have
beenable to tell Heero I loved him? I can't help but wonder...and would he return
my feelings.

We got up, and once again, Haruka was driving. I was, again, sitting beside her,
staring out the window again. Tokyo, Japan. We drove for a while...stopping
outside a shrine...The Hikawa Shrine. My eyes narrowed slightly. It was time to
meet the Inner Senshi...

Would they be anything like I remembered? I didn't know....

Wait...I do know.

I gasped softly as a blonde blur flew out the door and hugged me. "PRINCESS!!!!"
Well...Venus is just the same.

The other Senshi follow her, but they are more cautious about the Outers and myself.
I stared at them coldly. All the while thinking...I will not let them win...I will not let
them win...I will not let them win...

Win what? You ask. Win my love....my affection. They had taken me from the one
person I ever loved...and for that...I can never ever love them as I once had...so many
many years ago.

"Hello, Princess." Jupiter whispered.

I nodded curtly to them. Behind Jupiter were Mercury and Mars. They look as if
they were analyzing me....good....I want them to know. Know that I am off limits.
Don't come near me...don't even TALK to me...

I pushed Venus off me...not roughly, but enough to make her stumbled towards
Jupiter. She has a hurt expression on her face...and I once again think...I will not
let them win...

"Don't call me Princess....my name is Usagi." I whispered coldly.

They were taken aback by my words and voice...Mars recovered first. "I'm Rei.
Mercury is Ami. Jupiter is Makoto. And Venus is Minako."

I once again nodded curtly. I looked around. It was quiet here...maybe there was
hope for this place after all. I glanced back to find the Outer Senshi gone...good...
but they were out there, watching me...I turned back toward the Inner Senshi. I
spoke coldly, like I had to Haruka in the car earlier...

"Let's get one thing straight. I'm not some Princess for you to pamper and protect.
I can take care of myself. And as soon as the threat of the Dark Kingdom is
neutralized, I'm out of here, got it?"

They stared at me, shocked. Then Rei's eyes narrowed slightly. "If that's what
you want..." She whispered...and then they turned to go back in. I followed...Heero
...just wait...I'll come back...I promise!

"SHINIGAMI WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!" I heard over the intercom between the
Gundams. Duo was having a great time destroy mobile suits. I waa too, but unlike
my loud companion, I didn't voice it so...well...loudly!

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Okay. Duo was getting a little out of control. But I didn't do
a thing to stop him. For once, the braided God of Death was entertaining. This was
just the thing I need to get my mind off Usagi--Oops. I keep going right back to her
...I wish I could get over her...but I know it's impossible....

I just wish I could see her again. I could tell her I love her...kiss her again...and
then...then...and then I don't know what would happen. It's so confusing, this
feeling...love. The worst of emotions. I can't help but wonder why we were brought
together if destiny would only pull us apart. Well. Someday...someday I will find her again...but...how long will that be....

~~3rd Person~~

1 year earlier...

"SHINIGAMI WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!" Duo Maxwell yelled happily as he destroyed
another mobile suit. He was glad that HE got to be on the lookout, destroying any
mobile suits that tried to interfer with the mission. Inside the base were the other
four pilots...

Heero rushed towards the guarded room, shooting the two OZ guards. The paused
outside the door, then burst in...

There in front of him was a girl with long silver hair. Her silverish blue eyes looked
at him coldly. And the end of her gun was pointed straight between his eyes....a
perfect aim. She smirked slightly, raising the disk in her hand so he could see it.
"Looking for this." She whispered, just a hint of amusement in her voice.

His eyes narrowed as he raised his own gun towards her...a perfect aim also. "Who
are you?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Call me Usagi..." She whispered, then threw something to
the floor. Before he could react, smoke filled the room, leaving him coughing. When
it cleared, she was gone...and so was the disk he had been after.

The door on the opposite side of the room was open...his eyes narrowed again, and
he rushed after her and through the door.

~~~~

Usagi rushed through the halls of the base, towards the battling mobile suits ahead.
Dammit! Why do the Gundam Pilots have to appear...they are going to ruin my mission!
She thought angrily. Glancing behind her, she saw the Wing Gundam Pilot, Heero Yuy,
right on her tail. She frowned.

100 meters....just 100 more meters! She thought as she neared the trees...she rushed
past the trees...so close yet so far...Come on..come on...you can make it Usa... She
thought, cursing her luck. Not 20 meters ahead of her was her motorcycle.

Heero was gaining. Damn he's fast! She thought. 10 meters....5 meters...She jumped
onto her motorcycle, turning the key.

It sputtered. Her eyes widened. "Come on...don't do this to me..start!" He was 10
meters away and was pointing his gun at her. "Shit..." She whispered......

Suddenly the motorcycle started, and she grinned in relief. She was gone...but not
before a bullet flew through the air towards her...

She flinched painfully as she raced away...

~~~~

She slowly stumbled into her home...it was dark in her small apartment...and lonely.
She made her way towards the bathroom door...I need to get this cleaned... She
thought...

She stumbled into the bathroom, staring for a moment at her reflection in the
mirror. Then pulled her hand away from her wound. He's a good shot. She
thought...then paused...I should have expected it though. He is the Perfect Soldier.

Her hand was covered in blood. She winced in pain as she reached for a cloth to
wash out the wound...she was lucky...it hadn't hit any vital organs. She sighed...
closing her eyes. This just isn't my day...

~~~~

Click. Click...click click...pause...click...click click...

It was annoying. That is what Duo had decided. It was VERY annoying. And
people said HE was annoying? The constant clicking...

The only light in the room was from his laptop...and the only sound was the soft
click...click click..click...pause...click click...click...

Duo sighed. "Come on, Heero! Get over it! So some girl beat you to the disk and
got away with it! That's no reason to sulk..."

No response...

Heero tried to ignore Duo, failing. That's not the reason...Kami...she was gorgeous.
He thought. He would have sighed, but Duo would have freaked out. Instead, he
just worked harder on his laptop.

Usagi...Who are you?

~~~~

She lay down. It was times like these that she wished she wasn't alone...that she
wished that there was someone out there to care for her...hold her...

Her entire life, she had been alone. Different. And she had quickly learned to
become cold and unfeeling....But Heero...he seemed to have sparked something within
her.

Heero Yuy...who are you really?
