Chapter three is in the house! Sorry, just got carried away there. I can get a little spacey sometimes. Please ignore it. : )

I don't own SM or GW and I wouldn't be of any use to you anyways, I'm poor...!
Not really.

*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

Usagi sighed and sunk down in her seat. Her window was down and she allowed the wind to cool her burning skin. She cracked her eyes open to look in the mirror to see if the mecha had left yet.

It had. She had been scared to death when she saw it raise its sword to the car, thinking he would do the same thing to her and her cousin that it did to the two other suits.

Mamoru hadn't seemed to worried about it altough it did frighten him a little bit. He was an official Luitenant but was very unique. He refused to force anyone to fight or do anything inhumane.

Unlike some of the others in the organization.

"I think I'm going to resign from my position in the military. I'm thinking of going to the colonies to look for a job there," Mamoru said, breaking the silence. Usagi looked at him in shock and sat straight up in her seat, almost forgetting the recent events.

"But why? You worked so HARD to get this position!"

"The organization was different back then, Bunny. It's changed and for the worst. I can't stand it anymore."

"So you're going to leave Earth and live in the colonies?" she asked.

He nodded. "I've always loved it in the colonies, Usagi, and I'd love to live there. Hey, why don't you come with me for a few days so you can show me around?" he said, trying to brighten her spirit.

"Really? Cool! I'd love to! When do we leave?" she asked excitedly.

"In a few days. I still have to put in my resignation and make arrangements. You have to catch up on school work."

"What about Lady Une?" asked Usagi, a slight smile in her lips. Une was Mamoru's girlfriend although neither admitted it. They just loved each other so clearly in public yet wanted to keep their relationship hush-hush.

"I need to talk to her. And ask her something," he said softly. This got Usagi's attention.

"What do you need to ask her, Mamo-chan?" she asked slyly. He blushed lightly.

"Usagi, you have to SWEAR that you won't tell anyone about this until I get the okay from Une, got it?" he stated firmly.

"Yeah, I got it!"

He took a deep breath. "I'm going to ask her to marry me." This was it. Usagi screamed and laughed, tears streaming down her face.

"Oh my God, my big cousin's getting married!" she hollered. "And I don't even have a boyfriend!" Both of them laughed and just bonded even more the rest of the way to the mansion.

About thirty minutes later Mamoru pulled into Usagi's driveway.

"Come on, cousin! Say hello to the family!" Usagi urged. Mamoru gave into her antics and followed her to the house, warning her to be quiet about the proposal.

"Mom, Dad, we're home!" Usagi called as her and Mamoru walked into the house. But no one greeted them.

"Hey, is anybody home?" she called again. Still no answer. This was very strange.
Her father usually came straight down with her mother whenever her or Mamoru walked in.

Usagi turned to Mamoru, her eyes wide with shock.

"You don't think..." her voice trailed off. Mamoru's face tightened in answer. Their whole family was very close even though only Usagi, her parents, and Mamoru were left of the Dorlan family.

Now it seemed they were both alone.

Usagi spun around and ran upstairs, screaming for her parents. Mamoru took this as his cue and searched the ground floor.

She searched through all the rooms and called her parents as she did so. Finally she came upon them. Both were on the floor.

Her father was face down, hands covering his face. Her mother lay not far away, on her back, an arm across her belly.

'Poison,' Usagi thought. It had to be Oz. She didn't cry for she had been prepared for this. Her parents had always talked to her about what she should do if this happened.

"Stay with your cousin Mamoru, Bunny, in case something ever happens to us," repeated her mother's voice in her head.

Usagi backed out of the doorway slowly and quietly closed the door. She turned to the staircase and stopped. Mamoru was standing there, watching her. She shook her head saddly and he understood. He, too, had been through the same lecture as her.

Usagi walked to him and he put his arm around her slim shoulders, guiding her down the stairs.

"I'll call the Peace Convention. They'll be here shortly and will take care of everything. Then we can get out of here after I call Une," Mamoru said softly. Usagi nodded numbly and laid down on the couch.

'Why did all this happen to me today?' she thought sadly.

Soon she fell into a fitful sleep.

*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

The computer flashed through the files of the school and he found what he was looking for.

"There she is. Usagi Dorlan." Heero looked at the picture of the happy teenager on the moniter and frowned. She was an obstacle in his path and needed to be eliminated.

Heero typed information into the computer and soon a mesage popped up.

Congragulations Mr. Yuy,
You are now enrolled at Crossroads Elite Private School for the Gifted.

"And the rich," he added sourly. He brought the picture of Usagi back on the screen and leaned back in the comfortable chair of his Gundam. He stared at her and narrowed his eyes.

She was a very beautiful young woman and would have turned into a gorgeous adult.

But she would never make it that far in her life. Not if it was up to him, which it was.

The computer began beeping and a transmission came up onto the moniter.

"Dr. J," Heero stated.

"Nice to see you too, Heero. How do you like Earth?" questioned the scientist. Heero of course didn't say anything but narrowed his eyes even more. Usually this look would scare people out of their wits but not this doctor. Dr. J just chuckled and dismissed the glare.

"Well, onto more important business, I have recieved word that Prime Minister Dorlan has been assasinated, along with his wife. It is of course Oz. I trust you have already enrolled yourself in school and with that done you will step up a notch in your attacks against Oz."

Heero nodded in response and ended the transmission.

'That guy's up to something,' he thought but decided it was nothing. Dr. J was always weird.

He just leaned back and closed his eyes, thinking of his lovely target.

*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

"Usagi? Usagi, honey, are you alright?"

Usagi awoke with a start as she felt a hand shaking her and found herself staring into rich brown eyes.

"Une?" Usagi asked softly. The woman before her just smiled and nodded. But there was saddness in her voice.

"Usagi, Mamo-chan and I are going to take you to space with us so you can start over, along with us. We won't be leaving immediately but will in a few days. Right now it is time for you to get ready for school," Une said softly.

"School? Why do I have to go to school if I will only be on Earth for a few days?"
Usagi asked, confused.

"So you won't be too far behind when we enroll you for school in the colonies plus this will give you a chance to say goodbye to your friends."

"Oh. Une, what has Mamoru told you? Or asked you?" Usagi wondered and looked into Une's warm eyes.

"Are you wondering about the wedding?" Une questioned with a smile.

"Mmm, perhaps," Usagi said innocently.

"We'll talk about it later. Now get ready for school," she said a bit more firmly. Usagi smiled at her and got off the bed, someone must have brought her up here during the night, and went to change for school.

Three hours later Usagi was walking down the hall to her first period class and wasn't paying attention. Her nose was buried in her book when she turned the corner and ran into a wall. She fell right on her bottom.

She hoped nobody else was there to see how klutzy she really was but no one was there.

"I'm sorry," said a male voice from above her but she didn't look up. She remained seated on the floor while she gathered up her papers and books.

"Oh, no, it was all my fault, really-" A hand reached down and began to help her up. Usagi still hadn't looked up to see his face but he seemed familiar...

"How is your foot, Usagi?" the man whispered. Usagi looked up sharply to see unruly brown hair nearly covering cold Prussian blue eyes and a smirk.

She cried out and pulled her hand out of his and nearly ended up on the floor again because she was only halfway up but she quickly regained her balnce and backed away.

"What are you doing here?!" she chocked out, fear blocking her throat. He just laughed and she paled running past him and into her first period class.

'I'll go home sick today. It wouldn't be completely lying because I AM feeling kind of quesy right now...'

"Class, please let me have your attention. We have a new student today. Please welcome Mr. Heero Yuy," announced the teacher.

Usagi's persuer walked out from the shadows and faced the class. His eyes locked with Usagi's and she shivered. He introduced himself to the other teens.

"Please take the seat next to Miss Usagi Dorlan, Mr. Yuy. Usagi, will you please stand up and show Mr. Yuy to his seat?"

Usagi did as she was told and Heero made his way up to the empty seat next to her own.

She placed both of her hands on the desk in front of her and bowed her head, closing her eyes.

"Excuse me, Ms. Haruna, but I'm not feeling well. May I go to the nurse?"

"Are you sure, Usagi?" asked Ms. Haruna. Usagi saw Heero pause and glare at her.

"Yes, I'm sure. I probably picked something up on the colony..."

"Well then, take your things and do whatever you need to do. We hope you'll feel better soon. The dance is in a few days, remember?"

"I'll try to make it," promised Usagi and gathered up her things and descending the stairs. She had to pass Heero on her way down and he grabbed her upper arm. She froze.

"Infection, perhaps?" he said in her ear. She pulled her arm out of his grasp and continued her trip.

"Perhaps your skills just weren't as good as you thought," she said softly to where he was the only to hear. She kept walking and he laughed behind her.

*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*

'Oh, she's good,' Heero thought to himself as he took a seat and watched his prey make her way to the nurse's office.

Maybe she was sick. She had looked a little pale when he walked past her, but the cause of that was most likely the event of seeing someone who was going to destroy her.

He shrugged it off and leaned back in his seat, arms crossed over his chest, eyes closed. He didn't listen to the lesson. He already knew it. The only reason he had enrolled in this school was because of Usagi. He had to be close to her.

The chapters in this story are longer than in my other two, I think. Oh well, please review and maybe give me a few hints on the rest of the story. Thanks!
