To Rise Again Chapter one
I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailormoon, and I never will. So I am taking no claims to the characters what so ever.
Please enjoy the story, and review.
'' Some one thinking, all though I also put think comments in text with out those marks, but you will be able to figure out when the character is thinking.
""Talking
(Reread the prologue if you don't remember it, because you won't know what's going on if you don't remember.)
'How did I get in that cave?' It was an expected question, and she knew that eventually she would have to tell them the truth, for they had been the ones to come for her, and she knew she would be working with them for a long time to come. 'I should tell them, but not now I must first contemplate the answer myself. It will be an interesting story though when the truth does come out, but now I don't have the strength to tell everything at least not yet, and it will be confusing if I leave parts out.' She sighed just slightly so it was barely noticeable. 'Yes, they will have to wait, but I am sure the subject will come up later on.'
Duo noticed along with the others that she was taking a lot longer then needed to answer his question, when he opened his mouth to ask her again, he was cut off as she turned around to face him. Her white dress swayed back in forth in movement as she swirled around, it was apparent she was going to say something, but she was waiting for the right moment. When she felt all eyes were on her she tilted her head just slightly, and let a small slit of a smile grace her lips. "It is a simple question you ask, but the answer it far from simple, I'm afraid that this is not the time for me to answer you." she paused and sighed ever so softly and continued. "I am sure the question will be brought back up again in due time, and maybe then I will be able to reveal to you the answer." she paused again to see if they would not push the matter further, she could tell they would. "I am sorry if you think I am rude not to tell you" this time she looked straight at Wufie, but then let her eyes wonder, "but I am not yet ready o tell all I know, but in time you will understand my decision, my life has been a long and strange one to most, and until you truly comprehend more about who I am the answer will mean nothing, and it would be just a waist of time for me to answer you." With that she turned around, and began to walk again. She walked with stature, and it was obvious to all that were present that she was more then she appeared, and that she was different to any person they had ever met before. They followed her, and soon she slowed her pace to allow Heero to take the lead once again, and to let the others walk beside her.
'I know I should have just told them, that I was not yet strong enough to tell the story, but they already think of me as weak, I can see it in their eyes. I was thought of weak when I was younger, and although I have grown I wonder if I truly did become stronger, or was it that I was always strong, but know one could see it, because they judged me by what I pretended to be. Well one thing is for sure, I at least got them to think twice on the matter of me being weak, by some of their faces it was obvious no one has ever not answered a question, I wonder......'Serena was cut off as she noticed two eyes staring at her. She turned to see to dark eyes staring straight into her own. They walked like this for a few seconds, but both looked away. Serena could not help her self from letting her eyes wander back over to this man.
'He is tall, about the same height as.. no taller then...no I can't think of that I left that life."
She watched the way his silver white, hair swung slightly against his back as he walked, and the way his bangs seemed to dance around his face making her want to lift her hand, and move away the strands that had slipped in the way of his eyes. His body was well built, but he was not overly built with muscle, but he was lean, and had just enough to make him look intimidating if he wanted to. Serena began to blush slightly, and looked away letting her attention be drawn in by the tree's that surrounded her.
The entire way to the city, was one of pure silence if one didn't count the occasional mumble of "I'm going to kill him" coming from Heero just slightly above a whisper, when ever Duo started to complain about the walk. It was amusing to Serena that they could be so much like the people she once knew, yes they were quite different, but they were a group brought together, for a purpose each person with very different traits, but that was what made the group well rounded and able to take care of things she was sure they had been brought together for the same purpose.
As they walked from the tree's, Serena could do nothing, but look around it had changed so much, but it had some of the same things she remembered, this was her home. It was hard for her to believe that it could stay so much the same, but then again things have a way of surprising you when you think you know how things will be, and she knew this from experience. She looked down at her dress it was not that dirty considering how much she had walked, but it was a very elaborate dress at least for just walking around in a city, and she could tell the others were thinking the same thing, at least that is what she hoped they were thinking about as they looked at her.
Milliardo was the first to speak out about it, "We better find a store to buy some clothes, we don't want to stand out more then we already do." Heero nodded along with Trowa at this, while Quatre stepped forward to talk to Serena.
Quatre- "Miss Serena, where would you like to buy your clothes at."
Serena couldn't help, but smile at him. She could tell she would easily be able to talk to him in the future, and that he did not look at her so suspiciously as the others, he reminded her some what of her self.
"I'm afraid I don't know of any stores around here, at least done that would still be here, maybe we should try the mall that is if there is one here. Also if you wouldn't mind I'd prefer if you would just call me Serena." She said this while giving a slight smile.
Quatre- "Ok, Serena we will go to the mall." This comment got some mumbling from Wufie about weak malls, and other things which Serena could not make out. As they walked to where Serena presumed the mall was she noticed people turning their heads to look at her as she walked. She felt a bit embarrassed, and lowered her head slightly as she felt eyes piercing her. The others noticed as well that they were attracting quite a lot of attention, and not surprisingly it was all from the male population that surrounded them.
As they entered the mall Wufie began to mumble about weak malls and many other things, Serena found it surprising how many things he criticized, especially when he didn't know anything about them. When he said something about weak women, was when Serena turned around, and gave him a very affectionate smile. She stepped up to him, only a few feet away, and gently asked "What was that I did not hear you? I thought you said weak women, but that couldn't be true since that is completely untrue since there are as many weak males as women, and only a weak person would not have realized this, and I don't believe you are weak so I must have been mistaken in what I heard." with that she slowly walked off into a nearby clothing store, her head up high, and walking in such a fashion that called complete attention to be focussed on her.
Duo- "WOW, did she actually just do what I think she did."
Wufie- "Weakling, she didn't even wait for me to answer her, that's how weak she is."
Milliardo- "I think she took offense to your comment, and the reason she left is to get you to think about what she said, and not just ignore her. It looks like it is working."
Milliardo started walking to the store Serena had just went in, they couldn't let her out of their sight for to long.The others followed him except Wufie who leaned against a near by wall and it looked as if he was sulking, but he would never admit it.
When they looked in the store they were surprised to see that she had already picked out an outfit, and was wearing it. She looked at the mirror as if trying to find any flaw in what she put on, after turning once she smiled at her self, and took off the tags to bring to the cashier. She didn't notice that her male companions had all been watching her, eventually when she did turn around, she turned a slight tint of pink, but that was it as she motioned for them to come over closer to where she was.
Serena- "I think I'll take this out fit.... you do know I don't have any money right." she asked hesitantly she forgot all about money.
Quatre looked at her reassuringly, and nodded. Serena nodded her head back, and walked with him to the cashier. As she walked out with the dress she had warn in the bag, she couldn't help, but notice that just as many men were looking at her now, and she couldn't do anything but turn a slighter more red. Her tight Capri pants went just below her knee, and there tan shade made her light blue shirt stand out even more, which in return made her deep ocean eyes stand out.
Serena- "So what now?" came her curious inquiry.
Duo- " Now we have to go to the airport, and head back to where were staying, the flights not that long, we should get back before morning."
Serena- "So you don't live in Tokyo?" came her disappointed reply.
Quatre- "I'm sure you can return here to visit, in the future, but right now we were told to bring you back with us."
Serena- "I'm sure your right."
As they left the mall, and walked a few blocks, Serena held her head low. She had hoped to explore this place that was once her home, it was so different, and she wished to feel familiar with it like she had once. When she heard the ever familiar sound of video games being played, she looked up only to find they were walking past her arcade. Well ok it was not her arcade, but her friends and her had practically lived there when they were not at school or the shrine, and she could almost imagine that Andrew was standing behind the counter working like he had always done with a bright smile, that made everyone else smile along with him. She knew she was just fooling her self, Andrew was not in there and she knew she would never see him again, and that place would never be her safe haven as it once was. She sighed and continued to walk, she was happy it was still there though after all this time.
When they got to the airport, she was extremely tired, the walk had taken a lot longer then she had expected, but by looking around it seemed only Duo and her felt this way. She didn't bother in looking around the airport, but just let her eyes rest on the ground affront of her as she walked. She took the seat where she was instructed to by the stuertess, and stared dolefully out the window. She hadn't even notice where the others had been seated, and at the present time did not really care. She only wondered if she had made the right decision so long ago.
It wasn't until she felt an intense gaze coming from next to her that she turned to see who had been assigned to the seat beside her. When she saw who it was she smiled slightly, but felt very uncomfortable in the silence all of a sudden, and realized that she needed to break it.
Serena- "Where are the others seated, I thought we would all be seated together?" She really couldn't care less one way or the other where they were seated, but it was to silent at the moment, and she needed to talk even if it was about things she really could care less about.
Milliardo- "There was an error in the seating due to the airport they are spread out throughout the plane, I know that Trowa, and Quatre are sitting a few seats behind us."
She didn't turn around to confirm what he said, since she knew it was true. She nodded in understanding. She could feel the plane taking off, and was not to concern, because she had been in a plane before, but she noted that this take off was a lot smoother. After about an hour of her staring out the window, and looking into nothingness since even the clouds had disappeared because of the darkness she sighed, and laid her head back against the seat. She knew she would be more comfortable if she declined the chair, but knew how annoying it can be to the people sitting behind the declined chair she had learned that the hard way when she had went on vacation with her parents once. She looked to the person next to her, and could see that he was looking in the other direction. 'Maybe looking for the others' she thought. She stared at the ceiling of the plane for a few moments, but couldn't fight the urge to sleep, and slowly closed her eyes.
Milliardo turned around after he had spotted where both Wufie and Duo sat. He let a small grin cross his face, as he realized that Heero had probably made absolutely sure that he sat no where near Duo, after how much he snored before on the way to Tokyo. He wondered how since the seating had been changed, but didn't let it concern him much. That's when he felt something lean against his shoulder, he turned his head slightly to see that Serena had fallen asleep, and some how ended up on his shoulder. As he looked at ehr angel like appearance he used his right hand to wipe away a small strand of hair that had slipped out of place, and was now lying on her cheek. He couldn't help, but notice how soft her skin was under his touch.'I wonder why she is so important, I hope she does not get hurt...or killed in the approaching war, how can she be involved in it. She seems to innocent.' He let his thoughts wonder as he slowly drifted to sleep. Sometime during the few hours they were on the plane Milliardo's arm, had moved around Serena's waist, and she was as closed as she could get to him, with the arm rest in the way. His head had fallen, and top of her. The older women who was the stuartess could not help, but smile at the couple. It wasn't until the plane had stopped, and all the passengers were out that;Heero, Duo, Wufie, Trowa, and Quatre found their missing companions.
Duo- "Wow, do you see what I see."
He said this a little to loud for with that Milliardo began to slowly open his eyes.
ok there is chapter one, what did you think? please review if you want me to continue. Since in my other fics I notice after the prologue I get fewer and fewer reviews, but the same amount of people are reading the stories. So for this story I am only going to write the other chapters if I get reviews. I know this is a cliffhanger, and I have been told by one reviewer that someday I would be pushed off one off those cliffs for making cliff hangers, but I like them (when I am writing not when I'm reading) =-)

I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailormoon, and I never will. So I am taking no claims to the characters what so ever.
Please enjoy the story, and review.
