Chapter 2

He sipped his tea slowly. Eyes closed. Savoring the taste. Taking in the steam that
drifted up from it. This was his peace. His serenity. It was quiet in the small cafe. And
warm. Not like the cold weather that was outside.

When he had walked in, the lights had been dimmed and the cafe had been nearly empty.
He liked it that way. No one to bother him. No one to notice him.

It wasn't like anyone noticed him anyways. No one payed attention to a lost Gundam
pilot. It was as if he didn't exist. Which was perfectly fine with him. He didn't want the
recognition the other pilots had gotten. He didn't deserve it.

...He took another sip. Then took a deep breath, breathing in the steam. Always calming
on his nerves. Always easing his mind....but never his soul.

"May I join you?"

Wufei almost ignored the voice, but it was soft, almost bell-like. And it held a certain tone
of royalty to it. He opened his eyes, which blinked and narrowed again as they saw who
had come to disturb his quiet moment.

"What do you want, onna?" He growled. His heart jumped slightly in his chest. Beautiful.

Usagi smiled to herself, her head tilting slightly to look at him more closely. He was
handsome. And dark. Not his skin...but his aura. It was strangely dark. But not evil.

She sat across from him before he could protest. Her step sure and graceful from years,
no...millenia of practice.

"It is not what I want that you should be asking, Wufei." She whispered to him. "But
what you want."

His eyes widened for a split second. How did she know his name?

"Who are you? How do you know me, onna?"

She smiled gently at him. "My name is Usagi. And how could I not know a Gundam pilot?"
It was a statement more than a question.

He raised an eyebrow at her...finally taking in her full appearance. Yes, he had noticed
her silver hair and silverish-blue eyes when he had first met her. But now. Now he could
really look at her.

She was 18...or somewhere around that age. Her features were soft, yet almost royal in
appearance. Her silver hair was long, and fell across her shoulders and down her back.
All the way to the floor. Yet it was perfect in everyway. Her features were flawless.

Except...for her eyes. So beautiful. Yet so sad. She shouldn't have been that sad. No
one should be that sad.

"Well, onna. What is it that I want?" He whispered, staring at her.

She tilted her head once more. "Something that you feel is impossible to have." She
said calmly...vaguely.

His eyes narrowed. "I don't have time for this, baka onna." And he began to stand up.

She paused. "Why are you running, Wufei?" Her voice. It was no longer calm or vague.

Instead, it held a note of pain. Of sadness. Of loneliness.

And it was her voice that pulled his eyes back towards her...he stared at her. And his
dark eyes narrowed once more. "I'm not running." He stated firmly, curtly, almost
believably. And then he walked off.

What was it about her....?

~~~~

Patience, Usagi... She thought to herself. Patience. Wufei is alone. He is confused.

She sighed staring down at her own tea. She hadn't moved after Wufei left, tea still
sitting on the table in front of her.

"Patience..." She whispered. She had to be patient. She had time...

Yet to her...it seemed like such a short time. She had lived so long, that a life time to
them was a mere moment to her. But there was so much she could do in that one
moment. So much she could accomplish to correct past mistakes.

...Wufei...he would be one of those things...

She smiled to herself....Wufei would be one of her greatest achievements...

She paused in her thoughts. Strange. This feeling. This emotion. The one in the pit of
her stomach...the aching of her heart...

It reminded her so much of love. Love was an emotion she had long ago forgotten. Long
ago given up on. Love was dangerous. It could destroy her own soul. If she loved and
lost...she could find herself living eternity with a broken heart.

She couldn't allow it. But she had to heal the lost souls. She had to save Wufei from
himself.

~~~~

He walked calmly down the street. A mission to complete. Heero continued with his
thoughts. He had to find Wufei. That was his mission.

There wasn't much time. All the pilots had to come together to beat the new enemy.
Already Duo, Quatre, and Trowa were found and they were all searching for their missing
friend...they just hoped he wasn't dead. They hoped his Gundam was still in tact. They
needed all the power they could get to beat this new threat.

He continued. He had to find Wufei. A mission to complete. And he wouldn't fail. Not
after all they had done to create the peace...He would find Wufei...

Find Wufei before the enemy did...

~~~~

It had been three days and there had been no sign of the silver girl. Usagi.

And for some reason, he felt as if he missed her already. He had only seen her twice
before...yet...

Wufei stopped his thoughts. "Baka onna..." He whispered. Why was he thinking of her
like that? Why was he thinking of her at all!?!

He sighed. His life seemed to revolve around the useless dreaming of something better.
Something more...Something...or more like someONE named Usagi.

Well...he sighed again...he had to stop pitying himself. Where was the honor in that? He
had to pick himself up and continue doing what he always did...but...what was that?

He paused. Was he really running?

~~~~

She knew him the moment she saw him. Handsome and cold. Ready to fight. Ready to
die. Ready to protect all that he cared for. He was a perfect soldier. He was Heero Yuy.

She hadn't expected to see him here...But she was glad he was here. He could help in
her mission. He could help reclaim Wufei's soul before it was truly lost to the pain and
despair.

~~~~

Wufei continued to walk. He had this feeling. Like he was being watched. And he didn't
like it. The streets were deserted now. The cold and night air had finally driven all sane
people from the streets. He glanced left and right...no one.

His eyes narrowed...

He didn't like this feeling at all.

"So...the infamous Gundam pilot..." A voice said from behind him. "Not much to look at."

Wufei glanced back. Nothing more than a dark shadow stood there. He turned slowly.
His hands still in his pockets. Who was this person and what did they want?

He looked over the person in front of him. Tall. Dark. Wufei's eyes narrowed. He wore
an OZ uniform. Outdated, but still an OZ uniform. But he was young. Probably no more
than 20. And he held a gun pointed at Wufei.

"What do you want?"

The guy smirked. "To kill you of course." And he fired the weapon.

~~~~

Heero's eyes widened slightly at the sound of gun fire. And instinctively, he rushed through the streets towards the sound, drawing his own gun in the process...

What he found when he got there was a shocking picture...

~~~~

Wufei flinched. But there was no pain. No death. Nothing but a body flying back towards
him. He almost gasped. Eyes widening at the sight before him.

Usagi.

Standing in front of him was Usagi. Her arms sped out beside her. Blocking the bullet
from reaching it's intended target. Well...she wasn't exactly standing in front of him.

No. She had flown back by the impact of the bullet and was now using him for support,
but she wasn't moving from between the shooter and Wufei. Her eyes had widened in
pain...and her mouth moved slightly as if talking...yet not.

Usagi was in pain. It hurt. Dying hurts like hell. Yet. She could never die. But that didn't
mean she didn't feel the pain. She had taken the bullet fully in the chest, and though she
knew she wasn't going to die. That didn't mean that she wasn't about to pass out...

And that's what she did.

Wufei felt her slump against him. Amazingly, she was still breathing...

Another shot rang out through the streets. And Wufei looked up sharply, gasping. But it
wasn't a bullet coming towards him that he saw. It was the soldier falling to the ground...

Dead.

And there was Heero.

His hair was slightly longer than when he had last seen him. He was taller...and he too
was wearing a dark trenchcoat. Heero lowered his gun and turned towards Wufei and
Usagi. No words were spoken. Just a simple nod.

And Wufei knew why he was here. Why the soldier was here...

It was time for the Gundams to return.

Wufei looked down at the silver-haired girl before him. Blood stained her cloths. It
seemed to soak into her hair. It was amazing. She was still alive. The wound was
directly in her heart...yet...she was still breathing...her heart was still beating...strange.

He lifted her off him, staring down at her.

"Wufei."

He looked up quickly at the one who had spoken. Heero. What was this girl doing to him?
He had almost forgotten about the Wing Pilot.

Wufei nodded. An unspoken language passing between them. But...he couldn't leave the
girl. Not after what she had just done for him.

So with that, the two pilots walked off. A silver-haired goddess with them. All that was
left as a reminder to what happened was the dead soldier.

~~~~

"Wake up, Usagi..."

She moaned slightly in her sleep. She didn't know which was worse. Waking up to a
world of immortality or staying in the dream world of nightmares...But she didn't really
have much choice in the matter. Obviously the voice wanted her to wake up...

Or else it wouldn't be shaking her slightly.

With a groan, she opened her eyes...to find herself staring at a pair of black and a pair of
blue eyes. But she didn't gasp. She wasn't startled. Very few things startled her. It was
as if she had lived every experience and was no longer finding the joy or the surprise that
life was supposed to bring.

"Good morning." She whispered, smiling slightly.

Wufei's eyes narrowed. "How did you do it?"

She blinked, once again tilting her head innocently. "How did I do what?"

"Live." Heero answered for him.

She raised a questioning eyebrow at him. That was a question she asked herself
everyday.

"I don't know." She whispered.

Wufei stared at her. "You're lucky. If you hadn't of saved my life, we would have killed
you already."

She smiled slightly at this. "If I hadn't saved your life, there would have been no one left
to kill me."

She slowly stood up before them. The wound she had been given earlier completely
gone. Healed by the Silver Crystal.

She held out her hand to Heero, who raised an eyebrow at her.

"Tsukino Usagi."

~~~~

Heero and Wufei stood outside the room, staring down at the ground between them.

The perfect soldier looked up. "Is she a threat?" His monotone voice was almost
threatening.

Wufei sighed softly. "I don't know." He was confused over Usagi. "There is just...
something about her."

"She knows too much, Wufei. We should kill her." Heero whispered calmly.

Wufei paniced. Kill the angel? "NO!" Wufei quickly realized his mistake when he saw the
look on Heero's face.

It was one of determination. "She is a threat to you, Wufei. And to the mission. She is a
destraction."

Wufei nodded. "She is a threat. But she can help us. I don't know how or why. But she
understands us."

Heero turned and slowly walked down the hall. "I won't kill her right now, Wufei. But if
she becomes too big of a threat, you will destroy her. Or else I will."

Wufei watched as he left...thinking. Why had he said it? Why did he feel as if she could
help them...?

~~~~

An hour later, Usagi found herself confronted by the two pilots again. She smiled at them.
But they didn't smile back.

Heero turned. "Come on. We're leaving."

She nodded, and the three left...

On to better places and better things. On to more battles.

Usagi hoped she could make a difference in the pilots lives. She suddenly understood
why she felt the need to help Wufei. Helping him helped the other pilots as well. And
souls as pure as theirs deserved to live on. She had to help them...

She had to. Or else she would live eternity regretting yet another action...yet another
action not taken.
