Gomen this took
so long to get out! I'm in the middle of exams right now so I haven't had much
time to write! I'm almost done now though so I plan on writing again. I didn't
get that many reviews for Immortals or Soldiers Dream for the last chapters so I
have two announcements. Firstly, I
don't have to finish these stories, it's up to you, reviews = stories, no
reviews = no stories. Secondly, I didn't leave Immortals with a cliffhanger in
the last chapter and I left Soldiers Dream with a very small one, so from now
on, until the last chapter there will always be cliffhangers! There is only
about one more chapter and a epilogue left for SD, again, should I make it a
happy ending or a sad one? Up to you.
That's
all.
Dedications
Criss-chan!
Even though I haven't heard from you a lot lately, you are still an awesome
person! A great friend and an incredible writer. I don't know what I would do
without you.
M-chan!
Yatta! I get to co-write with you! Thanx so much! Also, this chapter was her
idea! It wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for her!
Usa-chan!
Thanx for the help and inspiration! You've been helping me a
lot!
I don't own
anything, so JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
Soldiers
Dream. Kidnapped!
'Argh, what happened, where
am I?'
"Okay, let me get this
straight. First, a girl with blonde hair appears in the yard, then she goes and
rescues another girl from a heavily armed base with no weapons, then as if that
wasn't weird enough, three more girls, incredibly hot girls I might add, appear
from the fireplace! Does anyone but me find this a little
strange?"
'Huh, what's going
on?'
"Duo, please be quiet and
remain calm, this isn't a crisis."
"Q-man! The world is at war,
five girls appear out of nowhere and Wu-man won't let anyone near that blonde
chick! If this isn't a crisis, I don't know what is!"
"Duo, would you please do us
all a favor and shut up! You're worse than Minako."
'Hey wait a minute that's
Rei's voice…. insulting me, but still, it's REI'S
voice!'
Minako wearily opened her
eyes, but when she did, everything seemed bright a blurry. She let out a soft
groan and brought a hand up to her face.
"I
heard that Rei" she said dryly. "Glad to know you care so
much."
"Kami-sama, Minako you're
awake!"
"No, really? I hadn't
noticed."
"Humph, and sarcastic as
ever I see." Rei sighed. "How are you feeling?"
Minako brought her hand from
her face and struggled to sit up, only succeeding in knocking herself down
again. "Like I just got run over by a semi." It was then that she finally
noticed her surroundings.
"Um
Rei, where exactly are we and who, who are all the cute guys? You can't be
dating them all right? So that means I can have one
right?"
At
this comment Quartre blushed bright red, a faint pink tint crossed Rei's face,
Trowa and Heero remained indifferent and Duo grinned like an
idiot.
Duo
ran up to her and held out his hand. "I'm Duo, the guy blushing bright red is
Quartre, he's the nice guy, the guy with the weird bangs in Trowa, he never
talks, and the guy who is currently glaring at me is Heero, Mr. Trigger happy.
So babe, who may I ask are you?"
Minako blushed slightly.
Accepting his offered hand. "Minako Aino."
As
soon as their hands touched orange and yellow lights exploded behind their
eyes.
Love and
Death.
Joy and
Sorrow.
She showed him the light.
Of a new
tomorrow.
They jumped apart. Staring
at each other wide eyed.
What, what was that? What
did that mean? Thought Minako, suddenly
forgetting how to move.
'I take it back, this day
can get weirder, a lot weirder, what was that?' Wondered Duo, staring in shock at the
young woman in front of him.
Rei
rolled her eyes. "And so the two baka's meet."
Minako tore her gaze away
from Duo and glared at Rei.
"Shut up pyro." She blinked,
"hey, if you're here, doesn't that mean that Makato, Ami and Usagi are here as
well?"
Quartre smiled. "Miss
Minako, those two other ladies you appeared with are still conscious in the
medical ward and Miss Usagi is.." He looked up at Heero for a minute. "Where is
Miss Usagi?"
Rei's eyes went wide. "You
mean you don't know where she is? What if the Red Sun caught her? What if she's
hurt? What if-"
"Wufei."
All
eyes turned to Heero.
"She's with
Wufei."
The
two swords clashed, sparks flew, but neither of the opponents made a move to
back down. Usagi jumped back and took a defensive stance. Wufei did the
same.
Wufei lunged at her, but
Usagi easily blocked.
"You remember
everything?"
"Hai onna." He broke away
from her and lunged again, attempting to knock the sword from her
hands."
She
dodged, then moved to strike him, which he blocked just as easily as she had
blocked his.
"Demo, what about the
others? Heero, Duo, Trowa and Quartre? Do they remember?"
"No, although Yui seems to
be acting as idiotic towards Hino now as he was in the
past."
Their swords met again, but
this time, neither made a move to part.
She
smirked. "Are you sure you want to continue this, remember what happened last
time you challenged me."
Suddenly, her feet were
knocked out from under her and she hit the ground.
She
looked up and found Wufei smirking at her, sword pointed at her
throat.
"The duel is
mine."
"No
fair, Wu-chan." She pouted. "That was a cheap shot."
He
shrugged and began to walk away. "You're acting weak. Your confidence left you
open onna."
Rustling sounded behind him
and he turned just in time to catch Usagi in his arms, her blue eyes sparkling
with something between rage and happiness.
A Dragon and a
Princess.
Justice and
Light.
A Romance Written in the
Stars.
Can shine through the
darkest of night.
"Forgot my name again,
Wu-chan? It's Usagi, U-S-A-G-I, can you say that? It's not that
hard."
The
corner of his mouth lifted slightly and he reluctantly released
her.
"Come on" he said simply,
heading for the garden.
'Same old Wufei' she
thought, matching his pace and following him.
"So, we're the only ones
that remember?
Wufei snorted. "Barton,
Winner and Maxwell don't remember a thing. Yui doesn't even know how he feels
about that other onna."
He
sat down and leaned against a tree.
"All of them are
weak."
Usagi rolled her eyes.
"You'll have to forgive them Wu-chan. Not everyone is a perfect as you," she
muttered sarcastically.
He
looked up at her and smirked. "No, but you are." He reached up and pulled her
down next to him. Her shrieks and giggles were silenced and Wufei gently pressed
his lips to hers.
He
kissed her softly, enjoying the gentle feel of her lips against his own. She
responded lightly, almost shyly. He wrapped his arms around her and deepened the
kiss, his tongue gently slipping inside her mouth, passion soon overwhelming
both of their senses. Wufei pulled away but they didn't part, instead, she
leaned into him, resting her head on his chest.
"I'll always protect you
Usagi, even if you are a baka onna."
"Hmm, I'll get you back for
that later Wu-chan. Ai shiteru." she mumbled, letting her eyes drift shut and
falling into a peaceful slumber.
Wufei smiled softly,
allowing his own eyes to drift shut.
I'm not going to loose you again Usagi. I'll fight heaven and earth to keep you alive. I'm not going to loose you again. I love you too much for that. Ai shiteru.
Then he fell asleep, in the
arms of an angel.
Ami
sighed and put the book down wearily.
'This is too
much, first Usagi and Rei, then us. Where are we, how do we get home, what's
going on. There are just to many questions to answer and I don't even know where
to start looking. I just don't know what to do.'
"Oh
Kami-sama, what….what am I suppose to do now?" She whispered, feeling her eyes
well up with tears.
She
jumped when a cup of tea was placed on the table next to
her.
"Sorry to startle you Miss
Amy. You've been in here for the last three hours, I thought you could use a
drink and some company."
'Oh no, please
don't let him see me like this.' She hastily began wiping away her
tears.
"Miss Ami?" Quartre kneeled
down next to her, having noticed her tears. "Are you
alright?"
"H-hai Mr. Quartre. I'm
fine, just a little uptight that's all. I'm fine."
"I
don't believe you."
"N-no, really, I'm fine,
really, I'm fin…."
She
looked up and locked eyes with Quartre.
Innocence and
Water.
Desert Noble and Wisdom of
Ice.
A love born in
friendship.
Takes more that just a roll of a dice.
"Perhaps you're right Mr.
Quartre." Said Ami slowly. "I wouldn't mind some company right
now."
Quartre smiled slightly.
Getting up he grabbed the cup of tea and handed it to Ami before sitting down
next to her.
Thud.
'How could this have happened?'
Whack.
'We defeated all of the evil, we gave up our lives to fight.'
Smack.
'So why, now that we've finally defeated all of the evil on our world.'
Thump.
'Finally offered a chance at a normal life.'
Bang.
'We're brought to another world to fight again?!'
"It's not fair! We've
done what was required of us, so why can't we just stop fighting? It's not FAIR!
Argh!"
She brought up her knee
and succeeded in knocking the punching bag over.
The fully reality of what
had happened over the last month hit her full force and she slowly sank to the
floor.
She knew she was getting
a bruise on her left leg where she had hit the punching bag, but she didn't care
about that. She didn't care about anything anymore.
"Kami-sama why? Why why
WHY must this always happen to us. Why can't we just have a normal life? Why
can't the war ever end?"
"Even when the physical
war stops, the battle in the hearts of those that fought in it never ends. The
lost souls of war are forever destined to fight."
Something cold was placed
on her leg where the bruise was forming and she looked up to see the boy, Trowa,
holding an ice pack to it.
She was about to comment
when she realized what he said was true. Before they'd been brought here, none
of the senshi, not even Ami and been willing to except that the war was truly
over.
"It will never stop?" She
whispered more to herself that Trowa. "We'll never be able to stop fighting,
never…our hearts will never allow us to except it." Silver tears began falling
down her face as full realization dawned on her.
An arm was stiffly placed
around her, rubbing her back gently in a comforting
motion.
Silence and the
Storm.
The Clown and
the Protector.
The only thing
that matters.
Is that they are
Together.
Makato turned and buried
her head in Trowa's chest. Releasing all of her sorrow and grief. Trowa's
muscles tightened momentarily, but then relaxed as he continued to comfort
her.
"Ahhhh! Duo stop moving!
Ahhhh, no fair!"
"Hey babe, if you can't
keep take the heat you shouldn't of suggested it!"
"Who said anything about
me not being able to take the heat? Ahhhh!"
The words GAME OVER
flashed in bright red letters across the screen.
Minako turned and glared
at Duo! "You did that on purpose."
"Maybe I did. In the
video game world you take no prisoners." Duo leaned back in the chair and shut
his eyes. "Besides, you should no that you can't beat the great
Shinagami."
Love and
Death.
Joy and
Sorrow.
She showed him
the light
Of a new
tomorrow.
A pillow hit him hard
over the head and he opened his eyes to see Minako glowering at
him.
"If you're so sure of
yourself, great Shinagami. Why not a rematch."
He grinned. "Sure babe,
you're on."
"The blonde, that's
Minako?"
Rei looked up at Heero,
surprised that he was speaking to her.
"H-hai."
Heero nodded and didn't
say anything more. Again he had that strange feeling in his
heart.
Rei looked at him,
unspoken questions swimming in her violet eyes.
A Soldier and a
Priestess.
Destruction and
Fire.
Emotion showing
only.
To the object of
his Desire.
"Hey
Heero."
"Hn?"
Rei smiled. "Thanks for
showing me around."
"Aww isn't that sweet. I think I'm going
to be sick."
Commander Nova smirked.
"Well, what do you say we give them a wake up call Abyss?"
General Abyss sneered as
she looked at the pair sleeping in each other's arms by the
tree.
"Their bond is so strong
now. It will be like killing two birds with one stone. After the Princess is
gone, the Dragon will loose half of his soul. He'll loose his will to
fight."
Commander Nova looked at
General Abyss out of the corner of his eyes. "Well then, what are you waiting
for? It's not like you to wait when it comes to destruction Abyss. It couldn't
be that you're actually enjoying watching them."
Her eyes flamed and she
raised her hand. "Does this answer your question? Eternal
Abyss!"
Wufei's eyes snapped open
and he gasped as pain radiated throughout his being, but that was the last thing
on his mind.
Something was wrong.
Something was very WRONG!
'Usagi!'
He slammed into something
hard and a dull crack reached his ears. His vision went hazy, but he refused to
loose conscious.
'Where was she?
WHERE WAS SHE?'
"Let go of me, let go of
me! Ahhhh!"
Rage took over. He felt
her pain as if it was his own. Hell, it was his own! Usagi was a part of him.
Without her…….
Leaping up, Wufei ran to
where the scream had originated. What he saw made his blood run
cold.
It was the man from the
base, the one where he'd rescued Usagi. A gag was stuffed into her mouth. She
wasn't moving.
'That baka yaro,
that, that..HOW DARE HE TOUCH HER!'
All logical though fled
from his mind. Katana drawn, he raced forward, the need to kill taking over his
soul.
Something slammed into
him. Hard.
"Well. If it isn't the
little Dragon, trying to save his Princess." Abyss chuckled as Wufei struggled
to get back up, pointing his katana at her throat.
"Drop her before I kill
you."
She laughed darkly and
grabbed the blade of his Katana.
"Dear Dragon, how can you
kill me when you can't move?"
Pain. Everywhere. Once
again he was slammed into something, but this time he couldn't get up. His
entire body was numb, he couldn't move.
'No, no. This can't be happening.
Usagi…'
Nova smirked. "Say
goodbye to your little Princess Dragon."
Then they
vanished.
'Usagi. No.'
"USAGI!"
PREVIEW
Duo froze as the katana
was pointed directly at his throat.
Okay, so Wufei had
threatened to kill him before, but it had never been a serious
threat.
So why did Wufei decide
to change now.
"H-hey Wu-man, I was just
joking."
He didn't move. His
breathing was unsteady and his eyes seemed to darken even
more.
It looked like he was
struggling to hold on to his sanity.
"Wufei." Quartre
whispered, slowly walking up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "What
happened, what's wrong?"
Wufei lowered his katana
away from Duo's throat and turned to look at Quartre. His eyes were devoid of
all emotion, all emotion that is, except an undying flame of
fury.
"They took her Winner,
those bakayaro's took Usagi."
