Chapter 1 ~Reunited~
A.C. 204
Usagi stared solemnly out the shuttle window at the blue globe called Earth. She had never been there before, but now she was being forced to go live there. She sighed, Why do I have to marry this Mamoru Chiba?
Mamoru. A person Usagi had not ever met in her life, yet she was forced to marry him. It wasn't that she was afraid he was mean or cruel or anything like that; it was just that she didn't know anything about him, except that he was the adopted cousin to Relena Peacecraft.
"Is something wrong Usagi-san?" her father asked her from the seat beside her.
"Nothing, Otou-san, I am just a little nervous," she said, trying to mask her sadness.
"Don't be, Mamoru is a good man, he will take care of you," her father said.
Usagi wanted to reply that that didn't matter. Her mind wandered back to the Colony where she had lived her whole life, a place she would probably never go to. I will never get to go home again, she thought. Home, the word tasted bittersweet in her mouth.
She had a tearful good-bye with her only friend, Ami, the only person who ever tried to get to know Usagi. Everyone else feared her because her father was a big leader on the colony, but Ami hadn't.
A single tear rolled down her face. She must be cursed. Every time she got close to someone, she always seemed to lose them.
First it was Odin, her first friend, than her mother, and now Ami. Why? Why did she always have to be alone.
"Attention all passengers, we are about to enter the Earth's atmosphere, please make sure that your safety belts are fastened, and that personal belongings are secure. We would like to thank you for traveling with us today, you will reach your final destination 10 minutes after we have entered Earth's atmosphere."
Usagi closed her eyes. This is it. There was no going back. I am never going to go home again.

Usagi stood silently next to her father. She looked around the busy airport. Several people were bustling about.
"Usagi-chan?!" a voice cried out from behind her.
Usagi turned towards the voice, and for the first time that day she smiled. There standing before her was her cousin, (on her mother's side) Minako Aino.
"Minako-chan!!" Usagi cried and ran towards her cousin and hugged her, "I haven't seen you since graduation!"
"Yeah, me too, oh my gosh it is so great to see you."
"You too, and you are looking wonderful."
Minako smiled. Her and Usagi looked so much alike, that some mistook them for sisters but they weren't.
"I know, isn't wonderful, I have been able to get tons of music gigs, people just want to lighten up now and forget about their worries," Minako said, "which I totally understand."
Usagi nodded, it seemed like just yesterday that the world was in constant war and chaos. Her father came up behind her and looked at Minako.
"Hello Aino-san," he said gruffly. Usagi cringed; her father had not been the most courteous to her mother's relatives. Her aunt had told her it was because they reminded him too much of her mother.
"Hello Tsukino-sama," Minako said and gave a small curtsy, she than turned back to Usagi, "so I heard from my mother, that you are engaged. Is he nice and gorgeous?"
"Actually, I haven't met him yet," Usagi said.
"Haven't met him? How can someone not know their own fiancée?" Minako asked.
"Aino-san, this marriage is one of alliance for the best of my daughter," he said.
Usagi looked down, and Minako looked at her quizzically but said nothing more.
"Now we must go Usagi-san, for you have to get ready for your engagement party tonight," her father said.
Usagi nodded obediently and followed her father. Minako waved good-bye and headed her own way.
Another tear fell down her cheek. I am trapped, trapped in a life I don't want to live.

Later that evening, Usagi looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a glittering blue ball gown that bared her shoulders, diamond earrings dangled from her ears. Pearls surrounded her buns. She was beautiful. But she didn't care, she was miserable. She didn't want to marry this Mamoru. All she wanted was to go home.
"Are you ready, Usagi-san?" her father asked her from outside her chambers, "we must not keep Relena-sama and Mamoru-sama waiting."
"Yes father, I am ready."
She walked out solemnly next to her father to the limo and got in. She didn't speak the whole way to the palace where the engagement party was held.

Heero glanced around the ballroom. A glass of champagne in his hand, he quickly spotted Relena. Despite her annoyance, Heero did not hate or even dislike Relena. He just wasn't interested in her, the way he knew she was in him. Besides, Relena maintained peace, and if she kept him from fighting again, he could live with some of her flaws.
"Hey it's the H-man!!!"
Heero groaned, as his one time comrade Duo Maxwell walked up to him.
"What do you want Duo?" he asked.
"I just wanted to say hey, this is one of the last places I would expect you to be," Duo said.
"I came because Relena invited me and to say no would have caused her to beg which I can't stand," he said.
Duo just nodded, "Do you have any idea what this party is all about?"
"No clue," Heero said.
"Heero-san!"
Relena ran over to him. Heero nodded at the girl.
"What is it Relena-san?" he asked.
"I want you to meet my cousin. His name is Mamoru Chiba," Relena said, "and this is his engagement party."
'It is nice to finally meet one of the great heroes of our times," Mamoru said and offered his handed.
Heero just looked at the man.
"If this is an engagement party, where is your fiancée?" Duo asked.
"She should be here any second, I can't wait to meet her," Mamoru said.
"An arranged marriage, aren't those things a little archaic?" Heero asked.
Mamoru shrugged, "Maybe, but they still do happen."
Heero was silent.
"Speaking of which, she is here."
Relena ran off to bring her to meet her fiancée. When Relena came back, a girl with long blonde hair and sapphire eyes and an older man who obviously must be the father accompanied her.
Heero was struck with a strange sense when he saw the girl and he sensed something familiar about her.
"Mamoru Chiba, Heero Yuy, and Duo Maxwell, I would like to present to you Mr. Toshio Tsukino and his daughter Usagi Tsukino."
Heero's eyes widened. It's her…..I can't believe it.
The girl nodded to them silently than waited expectantly for someone to break the silence.

A silent figure watched silently a television monitor of the ball.
"Peace, the very word disgusts me," the figure said, "Don't they realize that the Earth is headed on the wrong path?"
He shook his head.
"I, Nicolae Riyen am the rightful ruler of this world. And I just prove that to those insignificant humans."
Ok, there is the first chapter, the next chapter will have a whole lot more detail, but this is just to get my mind rolling so that I can get the story going. Please review.!!!
