'Ugh… I can't hold on
longer…' Queen Serenity thought as sweat drops formed around her face.
Queen Serenity folded her
arms in, and then thrusts it forth and bright energy exploded from her arms and
destroyed the evil yuimous. As she disappeared into the midnight, leaving her
descendents of the Moon kingdom in Japan.
In Tokyo, Serena (Usagi) was
walking mindlessly through the halls of the high school she attends. 'Why can't
I take this damn locket off!' She wondered. Ever since she was born, the locket
appeared on her neck. 'Oh well…'
"Serena!" Osaka
Naru called out through the nosy halls. "Hey!" When Serena turned
around, she went smack into another student, one called Heero Yuy. Her lips met
Heero's ice- cold lips.
"Hey what do you think
you're doing Tsukino Usagi!" Relena, a new transfer student from Europe
screamed out pulling Heero away from Serena. "Watch it!"
"Are you alright
Heero?" Relena cooed as she hugged Heero close.
"I'm fine." Heero
stated with his monotone, but stared at Serena with his hard cold eyes.
"I'm sorry." Usagi
whispered as she ducked her head and walked towards class-3 with Naru.
"Hey are you feeling
alright these days?" Naru asked with concern. "You don't look
right."
"I'm great."
Serena forced a laugh.
"Don't lie… I know you
aren't." Naru stated as she walked through the classroom door.
"But I am fine, don't
worry." Serena smiled but it quickly faded as she saw Heero go through the
classroom door of class-3 with Relena and her suck- ups hanging close by. 'Oh
god… spare me.'
Sakurada Haruna, the teacher
of the class screamed outs, "All of you to the gym! NOW!"
As they lined up to the gym, Serena sensed that Heero was close to her and when
she turned her head to the side, she saw Heero staring at her. 'Damn that guy
is giving me the creeps.'
"Today you are to learn
fencing! Each of you will face one another in the match. All of you to the
boys' room, the girls room are being painted."
"Oh yeah! I get to see
Heero!" Relena chirped as she rushed to the boy's room.
Serena rolled her eyes and
dragged herself to the room. Sakurada-sensei was right at her heels.
"C'mon now! We don't
have all day! I'm here to supervise that nothing goes wrong here! And I mean
nothing! Girls, no flirting with the boys, boys no flirting with the girls!
UNDERSTAND!"
"YES
SAKURADA-SENSEI!" The students saluted, even Relena looked frightened.
"Girls on the left,
boys on the right!"
'Huh?" Serena thought
as she went to the right side of the room. As she opened the shower curtain,
Heero was there with his bare-naked chest. 'Uh-oh' "I'm sorry, so sorry, I
didn't mean it!" She stammered with fright and thought of what Relena-san
might do to her.
Heero stared at her with his
eyes still with no emotion upon his face and said, "Go to the left
Tsukino, and change there."
"TSUKINO USAGI!"
Sakurada-sensei bellowed. "What are you doing in the right side?"
"I-"
"It wasn't her fault, I
was talking to her and she was preoccupied." Heero explained.
Sakurada-sensei eyed them
with her narrow eyes and turned to heel to boss someone else.
"Thanks." Serena
murmured as she gathered her things to the girls' side.
Heero just gave her his cold
stare and went back changing to his white fencing uniform. 'Why did I just do
that? Why do I feel like I know her or something… this isn't right.'
Meanwhile in Osaka-fu,
another place in Japan, the schools dismissed the high-school students and
Mizuno Ami thought she might head over to the library to start the science
project that had to do with the HR diagram of stars by Henry Russell. Instead
of taking the crowded streets of Osaka-fu, she took the route that crossed the
Osaka-fu Park.
As she strolled down the
path of the quiet park, Ami noticed a boy from her science class, Trowa Barton
sitting on the bench staring at her.
"Good afternoon
Trowa." Ami smiled as she neared him. For a while, she thought she didn't
hear him and was about to repeat what she said, but he then spoke.
"Good afternoon Ms.
Mizuno… do you come here often?"
"Sometimes I do… its
very nice and peaceful around here." Ami said as she took a seat.
"I see… would you care
to go to the library with me?" He said but didn't look at her surprise.
"Umm… sure why
not." Ami got but as she walked to the path of the park, she tripped upon
a loose rock and was about to fall on the granite pathway, but Trowa held her
steady by wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her before she hit the
ground. "Are you alright?"
Suddenly a necklace from his
neck sneaked out from his turtleneck and dropped upon Ami's cheek. 'Why is that
necklace so familiar?'
Before she could ask
anything about that locket dangling above her face, Trowa held her tightly with
one hand, as he quickly put the locket back in his shirt.
"Shall we
continue?" He murmured avoiding her gaze upon his face.
"Oh… umm, yes. But can
you tell me where did you get that-"
"We should hurry before
it closes." Trowa stated with a tone that he did not want her to continue
with the sentence she didn't finish.
Ami slightly raised her
eyebrows and continued to walk down the pathway through the park. 'Why doesn't
he want me to ask about that locket?'
Somewhere in Nara-ken, Rei
Hino drank her bottle of green tea as she settled herself on a bench with
Sakura flowers booming in front of her. She smiled with happiness as she saw
how life was so perfect to her. 'Ah… just the perfect life.' Suddenly she saw
the familiar chestnut braid of Duo Maxwell. 'Crap, I spoke too soon.'
"Hey Rei, what's
up?" Duo asked as he approached her sitting down next to her with his
bottle of coke. "How ya doing?"
"I'm great." She
stated with a flat voice and continued to drink her tea.
"Cool, umm… can I have
the Japanese homework? Pleeeeeaaasssssssseeeeeeeee?"
'Knew he would ask that
question.' "One word… NO."
"Oh common, don't be
like that Hino." He fluttered his violet eyes and smiled sweetly at her.
'Can he be more of a girl?'
"I know you understand my language… and the answer is NO!"
"Oh please, please, please, please, I'll do anything you want…'
"Really? Do this, buzz
off." Suddenly as Duo was begging, he hands suddenly spilled the dark
substance of the coke upon her white shirt.
"DUO MAXWELL! How could
you do this to me?! I was going to give you the Japanese homework, you ona
(woman)!"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't
mean it!" Duo cooed, hoping for her to give him the homework. "Here,
let me clean it up." Rei turned her head when a strand of black-violet
hair fell out of place. Duo lifted his finger to put it behind her ear and Rei
blushed with pink rushing to her cheeks. As he placed the wet towel on collar
to wipe the coke away, water got through and revealed her locket of mars.
"What the-"
When Rei noticed that he was
staring at her locket, she quickly swatted his hands away, and the towel
dropped. "Oh um… I got to go, here, take it, give it to me in
class-k3." Her hands fluttered around her book bag to find to homework,
but then Duo placed his hands upon her shaking ones and looked deeply into her
frighten eyes.
"Rei… where did
you-" To shut to him up, Rei leaned forward and kissed him with all her
force.
Once they broke away, Duo's
eyes widen and went in for another one, but Rei placed her index finger on his
lips and muttered a "sorry, I got to go."
After school in Kyoto-fu,
Makoto Kino (Lita) was walking down the street to her apartment. She sighed
with depression of living alone as she pressed the 25th floor the
Kyoto-fu building. As the elevator door opened, Makoto stepped in and was about
to close to the door when someone shouted "Hold the door please!"
Wu Fei appeared in front of
her. 'Oh my god… it's my old boyfriend!' "Thanks Kino-san." He said.
"Yeah, sure Wu Fei.
Floor?"
"25."
"Cool, same here, oh
are you the new resident of 25C?"
"Yes." His tone
sounded like he didn't want to continue, so she stopped and looked at the
flashing numbers on the top of the elevator. Suddenly the light went out and Wu
Fei expected to have a hearing aid, but Makoto didn't scream.
"Wu Fei?" Makoto
whispered as she felt her way around the elevator.
"I'm right here
Makoto-san." The Chinese boy said as he found her shoulder and went to her
arm.
"What happened?"
She said as Wu Fei held her trembling hands and started to cry.
"It seems that the
power broke down. Shh… don't cry. It's alright." He murmured, as he put
his arms around her waist.
Makoto clutched to her
locket around her neck and started to tremble all over with tears streaming
from her eyes. Suddenly memories of her parents' airplane accident fogged her
head and she her knees bucked down.
"Makoto-san! Are you
alright?" Wu Fei asked as he kneed down to soothe her. "What's
wrong?"
"It's nothing… I'm
fine." She smiled. Memories of the past were torturing her mind. "Go
away…"
"… Okay, if that is
what you want." Wu Fei whispered.
"No, not you… my
parents died in an airplane accident during their flight back to
Kyoto-fu."
"Makoto… that was the
past, it's alright…don't worry." Before Makoto could say anything, the
elevator gave a taunting creek. Suddenly it dropped down 5 floors then held its
place back.
She gave a frightful scream
and held onto Wu Fei's shoulder, as Wu Fei grimaced the surge.
When the lights went back,
Wu Fei found Makoto fainted on his shoulder. Looking deeply at her face, he
gripped her neck and knees as she slumped on his shoulder.
When he opened his door and
laid her on his couch, he went inside his bathroom. 'Why did I bring here her?'
After patting a wet cloth on her forehead, he went in the kitchen to fix up
some warm milk for her to drink when she wakes up. Later when he returned, his
eyes wondered around her face and continue to go down towards her beautiful
face … petite ears… graceful neck… 'No I shouldn't be doing this! I am a
married man. I forbid you Chang Wu Fei!' He commanded himself but couldn't resist looking at the locket on her
collarbone. When he took the locket in his hands, it glowed with warmth and the
color of forest green surrounded it. 'Whoa…'
As Makoto roused up, her
half- closed eyes suddenly popped wide open. With rapid movements, she snatched
the locket out of his hands and slid it under her shirt. "Wu Fei-
san!"
"I'm sorry, but I think
I know where that came from. Where did-"
"Thank you for saving
me, but umm… I gotta go, I need to umm… finish my physic homework!"
Getting up, she gathered her
things and burst out of the doors.
"AAAHHH!" Minako Aino
screamed out as she saw the numbers on her digital clock by her side.
"NO! I'm late!"
She squealed, stuffing her uniform in a duffel bag and snapping on her orange
locket with a ruby red heart and ran out of the door. As she raced out to the
crowded streets of
Ishikawa-ken, she was
unaware that the locket fell out of her neck and slid down to the sidewalk.
A young man was passing by
saw that it fell and went to pursue after her. "Miss! MISS!", but
Minako didn't hear her and ran after her to the gym of the high school that he
also attends, but was a transfer student from the space colonies.
"Of the Ishikawa high
school, Minako Aino, Aya Mikage, Yuuhi Aogiri, Ken Hidaka and Yohji Kudo! And
the opposing team of Akita-ken high school, Aya Tohimatchi , Omi Tsukiyono,
Chidori Kuruma, Raye Yamaichi, and Aki Gifu! Now let the game begin!"
"Where is that
Minako?" Yuuhi shouted as they entered the volleyball court.
"Maybe still sleeping I
guess." Ken replied when he finished tying his sneaker laces.
"Do we forfeit, cuz
there is not enough players here." Aya said bouncing the ball.
Before Yohji can say
something, Minako burst through the doors. "We don't forfeit!"
"What took you so
long?" Yohji screamed out. "We could of lost!"
"Who died and made you
the boss?" Aya muttered as she patted the panting Minako.
"No one, so just relax
and play guys." Ken said as he started to serve it and hit the weakest
player of the other team, Chidori.
As the game went on, Minako
bumped the ball back to Aya, who smacked it with her might and just as she
suspected, it went off the field, giving them the point. Suddenly during half
time, as Minako rolled around her neck, she felt that she lost her locket.
"OH MY GOD!"
"Jeezes, what now
Minako?" Yohji sighed with annoyance. "Your hair is out of
place?"
"Shut up, I lost my
locket!" Minako shouted and started to whimper with tears coming out.
"You mean that pretty
one with the crescent moon thing?" Aya gasped. "How could you?"
Before she could reply, the
door creaked open and out came a cute blonde boy looking the same age as the
other players. "Umm… is Minako Aino here?" He asked.
"I'm here." Minako
said and went to him. "Umm, do I know you?"
He gave a friendly laugh and said "No, but you know this." He lifted
his hand up and opened the palm of it, showing her lost locket.
"How… how did you find
it?" She shouted with joy, taking the locket from his hands. "Thank
you so much, I love you!
He laughed again but pink
blush went to his cheeks. " You can't love me, you hardly know me."
"Oh sorry, what is your
name?"
"Quatre Winner."
