Chapter 3

"So! You found him?" Duo asked.

Heero nodded. "Hai."

Duo grinned. "Great! Now we all need to meet together and talk over what we need to
do! Where do you propose we do that?"

Heero paused. "Quatre has a mansion not too far from here. I suggest you call the other
pilots and tell them to go there."

He frowned. "Why aren't you calling them?"

The look on Heero's face was calm, yet almost angry. "There are things I must take care
of first."

"Okay, Heero, if you say so..." Duo got up from the table, leaving enough money to pay
for his tab. "I'll see you in a few hours..."

Heero nodded as Duo left.

He had something to take care of. He had to find out just who that girl was...

~~~~

Wufei stood, staring out over the city. Lights blinked on. Lights blinked off. The world
continued to turn. But his thoughts were elsewhere.

Who was she?

Why was she here?

Question after question. It was strange. But he had never felt so alive...or so fragile as
he did at this moment.

No. Not fragile. Weak. Weak because of a woman. Who was so beautiful that his knees
almost buckled out from under him last time he had seen her. So beautiful that he had to
control himself just to keep from kissing her.

There was something about her. Something so different...so light...yet...in her eyes. He
continued to see a reflection of himself.

He paused in his thoughts, glancing back at Quatre's mansion. So far, no one was there
but the three of them. But the others would be arriving within the hour. Heero had
contacted Duo who would be contacting the others...

He sighed. He had to get out of here. But they needed him.

But for now, he could think...

~~~~

The room was dark. And silent. He stared into it, letting his eyes adjust. In his hand was
a gun. Loaded. Ready to shoot. He slowly walked in.

She sat beside the window, staring out of it into the night sky. But there weren't any
stars in the sky that night. No. The rain and clouds blocked them from her sight. No light
came through the window...

He stood there and stared at her for a moment, eyes narrowed.

"If you are going to shoot me, go ahead." She whispered, not turning from the window.

Her voice was sad.

He raised his gun towards her. "You are a threat to the mission." He whispered.

She turned towards him, tilting her head thoughtfully. "Am I, Heero?" She stared into his
eyes. "Or are you just telling yourself that?"

He stared at her, the click of the safety could be heard in the room.

There was a long silence between them.

"Do you not remember me, Heero?" She whispered, smiling gently.

He didn't move. His face showed no emotion. But his eyes. They blazed with sudden
knowledge...

~~Flashback~~

He stared ahead of him. "Mission accepted." He clicked the detonator and felt the
explosion his Gundam. It exploded around him and everything was drifting to black. His
vission was blurring. Death. He could feel it claiming him as his body was thrown through
the air. He didn't feel anything as his body hit the ground...

Instead, darkness claimed him.

He had been confused by it all. The pain filled him. His soul. His body. What was it?
Death.

And then...

Life.

The arms embraced him. He felt the gentleness of them. The love they presented. The
healing power.

And he opened his eyes to see the light. Silverish-blue eyes and silver hair.

"Who are you?"

She smiled at him. "That is not important..." She whispered in a soft voice.

"W-what do you want with me?"

"I do not want anything from you, Heero. What you should ask is that you want." She
smiled down at him gently. And the pain disappeared. "There is someone out there who
loves you, Heero. Listen to your heart. And let it guide you. Your destiny awaits you and
the other pilots."

He gasped softly as a warmth filled him. When he opened his eyes. She was gone, and, instead, he found himself in a room. Bandages wrapped around his torso. He blinked
once. Twice. Three times.

Who was she?

~~End Flashback~~

That had been years ago. And he had never forgotten the angel that saved him...

"Who are you really?" He whispered angrily.

Her smiled slightly. "Like I said...that is not important..."

"It is if you want to end this conversation alive."

Her eyes narrowed. "Shoot me, Heero." Her voice was calm. Almost authoritive.

He stared into her eyes. And shot.

(AN: This looked like the perfect place to leave it, but I decided "HEY! I'll be nice! I'll
write more...NEwayz...the chapter isn't very long is it?" lol...and wrote more! You ppl are
lucky I love ya all so much! winks...)

She didn't flinch as the bullet hit once again in the heart. His aim was flawless.

He watched curiously as she continued to sit there, unfazed. She closed her eyes, and
let the energy of the Silver Crystal wash over her, saving her from the death that was
sure to follow...or so it would seem.

When she opened her eyes, Heero's eyes had widened and his mouth was opening and
closing like a fish. He didn't realize it, but he was trembling slightly. The gun slipped
through his fingers and onto the floor. Those eyes. Filled with compassion and
friendship...they...they...

"D-demo..."

"But what, Heero? You can not kill me..."

His eyes narrowed. "You are more than you seem, Usagi."

She smiled slightly. "Aren't we all, Heero?"

It wasn't a question, but a statement.

And it had so much meaning. It reached the very core of his being...and he answered it
anyway. "We are, Usagi."

Heero was confused. He had come here seeking answers, and he had recieved them.
But now there were more questions to answer.

"There is someone out there who loves you, Heero. Listen to your heart. And let it guide
you. Your destiny awaits you and the other pilots." She repeated her earlier words.

"How?" He whispered. "How do you know us? How did you do all this?"

Her eyes. They were so sad. "I have been alive for a very long time, Heero. Much longer
than anyone can even imagine. With time comes knowledge. You and the other pilots
are needed for the peace of this time." She once again tilted her head thoughtfully.
"Even the strongest of people need protection from themselves, Heero. Even the most
stubborn of people need love..."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"You are a perfect soldier, Heero. Trained to kill. Trained to survive. Trained to die. Yet,
through it all, you have never felt love. How can you truly be alive without love." She
whispered. She looked back out the window...at the shadowy figure standing on the
outskirts of the mansion. "Wufei needs love, Heero. He has been alone for so long...let
me love him."

"Love is a weakness."

She turned towards him. Quickly. And her face held a determined look that even he
couldn't match. "Love is a strength. It is what keeps us alive. It is the one driving force
that can span time and space. It is the only thing that can seem as though it is losing, yet
in the end, it is always winning. You knew love once, Heero. You knew compassion. It is
this love and compassion that fills your dreams and haunts your nightmares. Have you
already forgotten the little girl, Heero?"

He stared at her for a long time. "I could never forget her."

She nodded her head in understanding. She had completed her message. "You won't
make it through this new battle alive, Heero....unless you learn to love. Love Relena...
love the other pilots. But most of all, love yourself. Don't give up so easily. Death isn't
the answer for everything." ...though it seems to be the answer to all of my own
problems... She thought to herself.

Suddenly, the sound of a car pulling up drew their attention from the conversation. Usagi
looked outside and smiled slightly. They were all here. Maybe now she could help them
all...but...

Wufei. She almost sighed aloud as the thought of the handsome pilot. Would he ever


~~~~

Wufei wanted answers. He was sure Heero had already questioned her, but something
told him that the answers he needed, Heero would never get.

He sighed, the sound of a car driving up pulling him out of his thoughts. They were here.

Wufei sighed again, following the car up the drive way and to the house. But a thought
lingered on his mind...

How would they react to Usagi...?

~~~~

"Hey, Heero!" Duo yelled before the door was even opened. "We're here!!"

He grinned to himself as he rang the doorbell....a few seconds later it opened, revealing
a beautiful girl with silver hair and silverish-blue eyes. Behind her stood Heero.

He looked at her for a moment before grinning again. He nudged Quatre. "Look, Q-man!
Heero's got a girlfriend!!"

Usagi raised an eyebrow. Heero's expression didn't change, though you could almost see
a sweatdrop forming.

Duo laughed and walked over to her flirtaciously. "Hey, babe! I'm-"

"Duo Maxwell." She whispered, laughing softly. She nodded at Quatre and Trowa.
"Quatre Raberba Winner...Trowa Barton..."

Duo stopped all movement. "Did...did you tell her about us, Heero?" He asked nervously.

Heero just shook his head, and began to walk inside. None followed, still shocked.

Usagi just smiled at them. Her smile grew when she saw Wufei approaching. "Wufei!"
She waved at him.

"Baka onna! What are you doing out here?" He said angrily...though the anger didn't
seem to be genuine. "You're bothering them, onna."

She nodded slightly and followed Heero in, but the small smile never left her lips. Even
before she left hearing range, she could hear Duo's voice saying, "Who was that!?!"

~~~~

Usagi smiled to herself as she sat down on the couch. Waiting patiently. Everything was
working out okay so far...but...there was something wrong. This new enemy...who...who
were they?

~~~~

Eyes stared out over the universe. Eyes. Knowing eyes. Eyes that lusted for knowledge.

That dreamed of looking upon Serenity and making her his...

Eyes....that had once known her.

They held a need to conquer and destroy. A need to take and claim as his own. These
were the eyes of a powerful being that had once been powerful enough to challenge a
King and Queen for their throwns...and almost win.

They were eyes that would conquer the Gundam Pilots and win back what he believed
was his to have...These were the eyes of Dimando.
