To Rise Again Chapter 2

Ok it has been a long time, but I have been working on my other stories, and now that Christmas break is here I have a little more time to work on them, although my teachers decided to give me many essay, projects, and other such thing to do, so I don't have as much time as I would like.

I do not own Sailormoon or Gundam Wing. Please review.

As he opened,his eyes he felt like strangling who ever it was that woke him. He hadn't slept much in day's he was always to busy, and it hadn't been on the top of his list of things to do. As he opened his eye's fully, and noticed Duo's grin he knew something was up, it wasn't until he realized that something warm was pressed against him that he turned his head. When he saw how Serena and him were positioned, he knew what Duo had found so entertaining. He softly shook Serena from her slumber, and as he did so he removed his arm which had been wrapped around her. As she began to wake, which was very slowly since ever time she opened her eyes, a bit she closed them back again. It was obvious to everyone that she didn't like waking up, and in return would probably not be to happy when she did finally get up. By the time she did fully open her eye's Milliardo had already gotten up from his seat, and was standing with the others, occasionally receiving a grin from Duo, which in return he gave Duo a look which just begged for the boy to say something so he could kill him.

Serena- "What is everyone staring at?" she asked wondering if she had missed something really important, and why it took all of them to wait for her to wake up.

"The plane landed a little while ago,we can head back to our place now,and you can rest there." Quatre replied.

Serena looked them over trying to determine what they were really thinking at the moment, she knew they had something else on their minds, but soon pushed the thought out of her head, and replied. "Oh ok, could you tell me when I can meet who ever it was that sent you to bring me here?" 'I wonder if they even know who it was, I really hope its soon.'

Quatre- "We don't know, we weren't told when, but we will probably find out soon." he said in a compassionate tone.

She gently nodded her head in understanding, and stood up. The group moved to the side so she could get out of the aisle, and walk a front of them. She couldn't help, but be excited it had been so long since she had seen her, and although no one really thought they were that close they were. 'I wonder if they even know who wanted to see me, I bet they'll be surprised once they meet her. I wonder if the others, no she promised me she wouldn't tell them. Serena you know your alone now, well except for one other person its time to stop hoping for something that can never happen.'

The pilots all watched as her face became bright and cheery, and then quickly turned to despair. They were shocked at how fast it happened. They all wondered what could have caused it, but as soon as Serena realized that they were looking at her she put on a smile, and hoped they couldn't tell that it was fake, she had done it so much before pretending to be happy when she was not it had become second nature.

The airport wasn't all that crowded since it was early morning late night depending on how you looked at it. The few people who were at the airport were mostly asleep in the chairs waiting for their plane to announce boarding.

The group walked together down the street, Serena stared straight ahead or at the floor most of the way, until they cut through one of the parks, and as she saw the blossoming trees that surrounded her, she couldn't help, but let a small crystal tear roll down her cheek. 'This park looks exactly like the one in Tokyo did, the night I had to make my decision. I was so happy, when I first got to the park since all the trees were in bloom, but that day didn't end on the same note...' She felt someone touch her shoulder, and she turned around. She realized they were no longer in the park, actually the park was no longer in sight. She had been so much in thought, that she hadn't even realized they had walked through the park completely, and were about two blocks away from it now.

"We're here! Hey are you ok, you look pretty out of it?" Duo asked as he looked at her face, and saw so many different emotions play across her features.

All six males were now looking at her, two with worry, one with a look that could only be described as annoyance, and three unemotional faces. Serena blushed and lowered her head lightly. "I'm fine, I was just thinking, and didn't realize we had made it here already."

They all seemed to have bought her excuse, as they walked in to the apartment building. As Serena looked around she could tell that the building was pretty new. Couches were spread throughout the bottom floor, and an office was in the corner of the room. Paintings hung on the gray/blue walls framed by silver frames. Most of them were of different landscapes. In the back of the room was an elevator which they all piled in to. Quatre pressed the number eight, and they headed up to their apartment. When they got to the eighth floor Serena was surprised to only see four doors along the hallway two on each side. 'These apartments must be huge, if there's only four of them.' Her thought was confirmed when she followed Quatre in to the place. There was nothing special about the front room, and Serena expected the other rooms were probably the same. They were nice the furniture was in the right spots to make the main room look even bigger, and everything looked well kept, but one thing was missing the little things tat she loved most about places. The out of place knickknacks that don't fit in any where, the pictures on the walls, the small things that shows some one lives there. This place was missing all of that.

"Well I'm going to bed, I need to get my sleep so I can be at my best." Duo said this as he walked to one of the bedroom doors, and walked in.

Serena noticed that there was only four doors, and assuming that one of those doors lead to a bathroom that left only three bedrooms. "Oh this is going to be fun, three bedrooms for seven of us.'She sighed, and sat down on the couch, no longer tired.

She noticed that Quatre went in the kitchen, and by the banging of pots she assumed he was cooking, or at least was trying. Milliardo sat down beside her, and Trowa went and sat down in the chair to the side of the couch, but it was at an angle so that it faced both the TV, and the couch a little. Heero leaned against the wall behind Trowa's chair, and Wufie did the same. She was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable in the silence. She was relieved when Quatre came in, and sat down on her other side, and turned on the TV.

"Ms. I mean Serena, I put the kettle on the stove in case you would like some tea, it will be ready in a little while." Serena looked at Quatre's face, and saw sincerity written all over it. 'He is really kind, I'm glad he's here.'

"Thank you Quatre." She said with a genuine smile.

Wufie headed towards the door. "Wufie where are you going?" asked Quatre. "To the gym in the basement, to practice." Serena looked him over for a second, and then her lips turned to a sly smile. "Wufie, would you like to test out your theory on women being weak? If you want to work out what would be better then a sparring match."

Wufie looked at her as if she had completely gone mad, well actually everyone looked at her that way. "You weak women want to spar with me, you wouldn't last a minute." He was almost out the door, when the now standing Serena spoke up, "Are you afraid you'll lose? It's ok, if you don't want to I understand if your to weak to fight me."

"I'll fight you, but I won't be easy just, because your a women." He walked out the room, fuming. Serena began to follow, until she felt an arm turn her around. She was face to face with Milliardo. "It's not a good idea for you to fight him you'll get hurt." He could see the mischievous look dancing in her eyes. He knew then that she wasn't going to change her mind, and that she knew something that they didn't. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself." She tried to wiggle out of his grasp, since his hand was still tightly around her arm. She looked up at him, and smiled. "Don't worry I mean it, you can come and watch if you want." His group loosened a bit, and Serena was able to get her arm away. She walked out of the apartment followed by Milliardo who was still staring at her, a worried Quatre, Heero, and Trowa. When Trowa was next to Heero he whispered slightly "She really is different then most girls." Heero didn't respond, but continued to walk.

Ok, so what will happen when Wufie and Serena fight. Is a Gundam pilot falling for Serena, or is Milliardo, or are they all? Will Duo miss the fight, and if he does how will he react? Will Serena reveal her secrets, and will the person that sent to her show her face? Most of these questions will be answered in the next chapter. Please Review, and tell me which one of my stories I should write a chapter for next, and if you like this chapter.
