Is there even a point to saying this, everyone knows I don't own anything.

Soldier's Dream Chapter 9 Dragon and a Princess, the Bond Grows.

The man smirked. Everything was going according to plan. Out of all the planetary soldiers, only two suspected anything and by now they should have been taken care of. He called up the image of Rei Hino, the Soldier of Mars. His smirk grew wider as he watched her struggle with the bindings that held her down. ' Pathetic girl, she should know by now that there is now escaping the Red Sun.'

"U-um, excuse me M-my lord".

He turned toward the sound of the voice, and gave an evil smile when he saw one of the lesser soldiers approaching him.

"Well, what is it?"

"It's a-about the Soldier of t-the moon."

"What about her? Has she given up the crystal yet?" He shut his eyes, drinking in the terror of the young man.

"T-that's just the thing my lord. Her and the Dragon appear to remember more than we thought they did, their bond was too strong, she was brought to the place where the Dragon rests".

"WHAT?"

The soldier crouched back in fear. "Also, the Priestess and the Soldier are remembering more even as we speak, if their bond continues to grow, the Priestess will break free and be brought to the place where the Soldier sleeps".

The man stood up, his body glowing in a red aura and visibly shaking with rage. "Well then what are you standing around here for, go and capture the Princess, kill the Dragon if you have to, do not let their bonds grow any stronger!"

The soldier was visibly shaking now. "R-right away M-my lord". Turning around, the soldier began to walk at a pace that was just short of running out of the room.

"One more thing before you go soldier".

The soldier stopped and turned around.

The man smiled again and held out his hand. The soldier screamed as his soul was torn from his body, leaving a bloody shell behind.

The man narrowed his eyes and licked his lips hungrily. He would have the soul of the Priestess and the Princess. By the power of the Red Sun, he Commander Eclipse swore that.

Serena bowed slightly as she prepared to fight.

'Put me in my place my ass, I'll show this guy which on of us is weak'.

She took a battle stance and waited. The two of them stood there for a minute, just seeming to size the other one. Then all at once, it started.

(* A little note here, this is the first time I'm writing a fight scene so be nice Kay? *)

Wufei lunged at Serena, fist pulled back ready to punch. Jumping over him, Serena landed gracefully behind him.

"You believe dancing around like that will enable you to win onna?" Wufei sneered tuning around.

"No but I don't think a weak man such as yourself could handle anything above dancing".

Wufei's black eyes blazed with anger and he lunged for Serena.

She just merely turned rotated around letting Wufei sail past her, stopping himself just short of hitting a wall.

Stop dancing and fight onna! It is an injustice that you challenge me to a fight and then not even attempt to fight back".

"What do you do in a real battle Wufei? Yell about justice to your opponent until he die's of annoyance?"

"How dare you insult me like this onna! You're nothing but a weakling! How could you possibly know anything about battle and justice".

Serena's blue eyes blazed with an anger that could rival Wufei's own.

"My name is Serena, and I am NOT A WEAKLING!"

Both Wufei and Serena threw punches and kicks as the fight grew to a new level.

Lita walked down the street, her head down. 'How could this have happened? We've had peace for over a year now, we've been so careful. Why is it now that both Serena and Rei disappear? '

"Damn it, we were so careful, how did this happen!" Lita threw her fist into a wall, leaving several cracks in it when she was done.

Ignoring the strange looks people were giving her, she turned around and headed for her apartment.

'Okay, mental note for the future, don't think that just because a guy is cute that it means he is a push over'.

Serena doudged another punch and had one of her own blocked. Both her and Wufei had been sparring for nearly two hours now and none of them had gained the upper hand for more than a minute.

Serena smirked. 'Well at least I'm fairing no better then he is'.

Wufei's body was soaked with perspiration and his breathing was hard. His black eyes were narrowed in concentration as he fought.

' Hmm, if he looks this sexy every time he fights, I might end up challenging him more often. Wait a minute, did I just think sexy?!'

Serena flattered and narrowly missed getting a broken jaw.

"Getting tired onna, ready to give up yet?"

"No and never" Serena snarled throwing yet another punch that was narrowly missed.

This continued on for nearly half an hour longer before through some fiendish twist of fate, Wufei missed a punch and somehow ended up crashing into a wall.

Serena ran over to him. "Are you alright Wufei, do you need any help?"

"I'm fine onna, and I don't need any help, especially from a weak onna such as yourself". Wufei tried to stand up but only succeed in sending himself crashing to the floor again, his ankle twisted at some strange angle.

Serena sighed and rolled her eyes. "Would you stop with the weak onna thing already?! First of all, I just beat you in a fight and second of all, you have a broken ankle and unless you want to hop on one foot back to your room I suggest you shut up and let me help you!"

Not waiting for his to reply, Serena bent down and placed both her hands on his ankle. Calling on the power of the silver crystal, she sent a wave energy into him, healing his ankle and restoring his energy in the process. Turning around so she had her back to the wall, Serena allowed herself to fall to the floor, exhausted.

Wufei stared at her, his dark eye opened wide in shock.

"What did you do Serenity?"

Serena turned to look at him, a faint blush on her cheeks as she noticed he had just called her Serenity and not onna. "It's part of my powers, they can heal as well as destroy". She turned her gaze away from him and shut her eyes.

Wufei watched her out of the corner of his eyes.

"I thought your name was Serenity, while we were fighting you called yourself Serena".

Opening her eyes, Serena blushed faintly again. " Oh that. When I first arrived here I wasn't sure who you guys were, I had a gun pointed to my head and my friend was nowhere in sight. I wasn't about to give you my real name so I said the first thing that came to mind".

" It suits you". (* Okay, I know he's a little out of character but I can't have them at each others throats for the whole story can I*)

The faint blush on Serena's cheeks grew until her whole face was red.

"Um, we should probably be heading back now".

Giving a faint nod, Wufei stood up and headed for the door.

Sighing, Serena stood up and prepared to follow, only to collapse from exhaustion. The last thing she was aware of as she passed out was two strong arms wrapping around her waste, preventing her from hitting the floor.

Rei bit back a scream of pain as the needle dug into her soft skin; she would not give them the satisfaction of hearing her scream. Tests. They said they were testing her, trying to find out how she appeared out of seemingly nowhere and where she came from. After she had awakened, the thing called Commander Nova had asked her some questions, which she had refused to answer. 'Well at least after that Commander Nova had dropped the act' Rei thought dryly.

"Stop, that's enough".

Opening her eyes, she found herself looking straight into the orange eyes of the thing that called itself Commander Nova.

He smiled. "It doesn't have to be this way you know, you could just tell us what we need to know and you could be spared all of this. Just a few questions and a few words and you wouldn't have to be put through all of this needless suffering".

Rei opened her mouth and spit, right into his face.

"Go to hell Nova. I'd rather die than betray my friends and my comrades.

"That can be arranged you bitch".

Rei smiled sweetly. "Dropping the act now aren't we Nova".

The thing narrowed its eyes and walked away from Rei. "You're going to regret that choice angel".

Before Rei could remark, she was over come with another wave of pain. This one far worse than all the other's she's previously had to endure.

'Serena, help me".

Wufei watched Serena as she slept. He'd done his job, he could leave anytime to go and find Maxwell to take over watching her. So why was he still here.

His face remained expressionless but his eyes were full of emotion.

'She looks like an angel lying there, so innocent and pure'. He absent mildly reached out to brush a strand of hair from her face before he stopped himself.

'What am I doing. How is it that she's effecting me this way?' Pulling his hand away he closed his eyes, coming to a decision.

'There's something about her. Something the Red Sun would love to get their hands on. She needs to be protected. Kept away from the Red Sun. Wufei smirked. 'Maxwell would think it was a joke, Quartre would be to hesitant to do anything about it and Heero and Trowa probably would care, she'd be in the hands of the Red Sun by the end of the day if she was placed in their care. As long as she's here all be the one to protect her would be no one but himself. That he swore, he'd failed to protect Merian, he wouldn't fail protecting this angel.

"Rei!"

Wufei opened his eyes just in time to see 'the angels' eyes fly open in panic.

"Rei, she's in pain! I have to help her!"

Not really a cliffy, you decide. So what did you think? I keep saying I won't write the next chapter for a while but I got the idea and I just had to get this part out. I'm enjoying writing it more than I think you guys enjoy reading it. Well don't forget to tell me if this chapter was any good. Remember, school starts up again the day after tomorrow so I might slow down on my writing. Don't forget to Review.

Till next time.
