Angel in Disguise by Comet~Princess
Disclaimer: Pop quiz! Does Comet~Princess own either Sailormoon or Gundam Wing? If you picked answer one, yes, then you better hightail it back to school and retake your classes. If you picked answer two, no, then congratulations! You have just won a cookie! (Man, I have way too much fun with these things!)
AN: To everyone who wanted the kiss scene (which is basically everyone who reviewed. . .): To be honest, I wasn´t going to make them kiss yet, but since you wanted it so much, I changed it a little to fit both your and my ideas. ^_^ You´ll find out soon enough. Warnings include Relena bashing, OOC-ness for Heero, and sap. And there´s some action in this chapter.
Himiko, Dragon: I don´t know how much more I can bash Relena without making her evil or killing her. I´ve basically implied that she was stupid, snotty, psychotic, a stalker, and boring in the past two chapters. I don´t want to make her evil or kill her in this particular story. If you have any suggestions how I can bash her more, please tell me and I´ll see what else I can do to baka Relena. ^_^
Aidenn Legacy: *shrug* I don´t know who would try to be a matchmaker other than our friend, Shinigami. Can you imagine Wufei trying to do it?! *giggle*
Uranus2000: Don´t worry, I will do more of those scenes. I just wanted to spread them out a little.
Timeframe: So I lied. Endless Waltz does kind of happen. It just happens differently. Uh. . . I don´t want to explain what I mean. It´ll give away the plot, so you´ll just have to read.
Never fear, the story is here! (And the author is done with her babbling!)

Chapter 5 - I´ll Be There For You
*******************************************************************
"H-Heero?" Usagi whispered, fear in her voice. What would he do to her?
"What do you think you were doing?" Heero growled menacingly, his breath ticking her face.
"I-I honestly thought she was sane. . ." Usagi stuttered.
"Oh really?" Heero continued, "And pray tell, what changed your mind?"
"Uh. . .Duo kind of took me to talk to the other guys," Usagi explained, "and we heard her screaming down the hall."
"Uh-huh, and the psycho would have been a good match for me because?" Heero questioned. His eyes flashed. Usagi could tell he was furious with her. She gulped nervously. So she wasn´t really mortal, but she didn´t exactly like torture. What Heero was promising with his gaze was frightening her.
"Um. . .because, because she was the only one who was interested in you?" Usagi squeaked. Heero´s eyes flashed again, but this time, there was a streak of sorrow in them. He leaned even closer to Usagi, so close that when he talked, his lips brushed against hers, sending jolts of electricity down Usagi´s spine.
"Of course," Heero whispered, "the only kind of person who would ever be interested in me would be the crazy kind."
That said, he released her and walked out of the dorm, slamming the door shut behind him. Usagi sank to her knees, unable to stand without Heero´s support. She was shaking and her heart ached. Gently, she touched her lips where Heero´s had been seconds before. They were warm, and she couldn´t help but feel safe in his arms, even when he was angry with her.
"I´m so sorry, Heero. That´s not what I meant at all," she murmured, looking at the door.
~*~*~*~*~
Heero sat on a bench in the deserted park and closed his eyes. He had gone to find Duo, but the braided baka obviously knew he was in trouble. Duo was nowhere to be found. All Quatre had said was that Duo had nothing to do with his so-called date. Heero didn´t really believe it. If anything, Duo had definitely made sure he left with Usagi before Heero came after them. He looked up at the moon and stars. Usagi. Why did she make him feel different? It couldn´t just be that she was gorgeous. He´d met his share of attractive girls in his life and none of them could even make him say an extra word to them. But Usagi isn´t just beautiful. She has an aura of peace and innocence around her and a loving nature, he thought. Then, realizing his train of thoughts, he groaned out loud. Now was not the time for this kind of thing. He´d received an e-mail from Lady Une that there were movements among the rebels. There was a high possibility that he and the other pilots may be sent out to suppress them. He couldn´t have stray thoughts in times like these. It would affect him in battle. He had promised once that he was going to protect Usagi, and if being able to accomplish that meant becoming the Perfect Soldier again, he would gladly do it. It´s not as though she could ever like someone like me anyway, he thought, reflecting back to what she had said earlier.
~*~*~*~*~
Usagi stood on the balcony, staring up at the moon and stars. She was supposed to help him regain his humanity, but she had run out of ideas how. Talking was a start, but interfering with his love life was definitely a bad idea. In addition, she was developing feelings for him. She knew now that she cared about Heero more than she normally did for a charge. It frightened her, but it made her happy at the same time. He made her happy. He made her feel protected and despite his emotionless front, she could see that he had a lot of hidden pain. She wanted to take that away and be there for him. I don´t know what I´m doing anymore! I just want him to be happy, and to be safe. I want to watch over him, she thought sadly. She knew they can´t be together, at least not the way she wanted. The best thing she can do is to be his friend. That´s what I´ll do then, she thought with new determination, I´ll be his friend.
Noticing that it was starting to rain, Usagi walked back into the dorm and checked the clock. It was 11 o´clock, and still no sign of Heero. Usagi felt a sudden surge of panic. Where could he be? she thought. Quickly, she left her dorm and ran to Quatre and Trowa´s room. The blond-haired boy opened the door after hearing her frantic knocking.
"Usagi?" Quatre said in surprise. "What´s wrong?"
"Quatre," Usagi began, "have you seen Heero? He hasn´t come back yet."
Quatre frowned. "No, he showed up a little over two hours ago, looking for Duo. But then, he left without another word," Quatre explained.
Usagi started to panic. "Do you think something happened to him? Like he was mugged?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
Quatre smiled reassuringly. "No. I feel sorry for the person who attempts to mug Heero," he replied, thinking of the number of weapons his friend carried on him.
Usagi sighed. "This is all my fault," she whispered.
"What do you mean?" Quatre inquired. Seeing Usagi´s face, he quickly ushered her into his kitchen and made her a cup of tea. "Trowa´s over at Duo and Wufei´s, helping them with English," he prompted gently. "Now, would you tell me what happened?"
"See," Usagi began, "after I left you guys, I went back to our dorm to look for him. He asked me why I chose Relena of all people to set him up with. I didn´t know he hated Relena, and she was the only girl who looked interested in him. So, I told him that and he thought that I meant that only psychotic people would be interested in him. But that´s not it at all! Do you know what I mean, Quatre?" Usagi looked hopefully at the boy, pleading with him.
Quatre felt a streak of regret and protectiveness in his heart. He looked at Usagi in surprise. She wants to protect Heero? he thought with a little amazement. Heero was the type that protected others, and Quatre was taken aback, yet grateful, that someone wanted to do the same for his trigger-happy friend. She wouldn´t exactly get much of a chance, but it was the thought that counted. He smiled warmly at the petite girl in front of him. "Yes, I know what you mean. But that doesn´t explain why you think it´s your fault that he´s out late," he added.
"He walked out after I said that," Usagi explained in a whisper. "If I didn´t say that, maybe he would have stayed."
"Maybe," Quatre emphasized. "Besides, he came to look for Duo after. He probably still would have left even if you didn´t say anything."
"Still," Usagi murmured, "if something happened to him. . ."
Quatre shook his head. She really didn´t know Heero´s, uh, abilities. He knew that they´d have to tell her the truth sometime. He felt her sincerity and knew that he could trust her. He´d have to consult the others first though. "Don´t worry Usagi. Heero´s going to be fine. But if it makes you feel better, we can go look for him," he suggested.
Usagi jumped up from her chair. "Let me go grab my umbrella," she said.
Quatre nodded. "I´ll meet you downstairs. I have to leave a note for Trowa," he stated.
A few minutes later, Quatre and Usagi left the dorm with their umbrellas. It was almost midnight now, and the sky was pitch black, except for the shine of the moon and the twinkling of the stars. The street lamps allowed them to see where they were going as the rain continue to fall.
"Where can he be?" Usagi asked in frustration. They had gone around the school grounds, but there had been no sign of Heero. All the stores were closed and no one was on the streets.
"I think there´s a park a block away from here," Quatre said. "Do you think it´s worth a try?"
Usagi nodded vigorously. "Let´s go," she said as she dragged Quatre down the street.
~*~*~*~*~
The rain continued to fall on him, but he didn´t attempt to move. It was refreshing, somehow, to be out here in the rain. He stared at the moon again. No one cared where he was, so why did he even care what happened to him. His life had been empty for as long as he could remember. His comrades, or friends, as they prefer to be called, helped to fill it a little, but there was always a missing part, something he can´t reach. He closed his eyes. Fighting, that was the only reason he lived. That was what he was trained for, and what he´ll have to do for the rest of his life. It was the only way he knew how to live.
"Heero!" a female voice suddenly called out. "What are you doing out here in the rain?"
He turned his head towards the voice and saw Quatre and Usagi running towards him. The silver-haired girl shielded him from the rain with her umbrella. Hastily, and as best as she could without dropping her umbrella, she pulled off her coat and wrapped it around him. "What are doing just sitting here?" she asked again. "I was so worried."
Heero looked at her blankly. "Why?" he asked.
"What do you mean, why?" Usagi replied with a frown.
"Why do you worry about me?" Heero clarified.
"Because you´re an important person to me," Usagi answered without hesitation. "Come on, now. We need to get you inside before you get sick, if you´re not already." She tugged on his arm and started to walk back to the dorm. And just for the few minutes the walk took, Heero felt the emptiness leave. Could she care for him the way he wanted her to? Because he didn´t want to be alone anymore.
~*~*~*~*~
Heero and Usagi walked down the halls of Peacecraft Academy early the next morning.
"You should have stayed in bed this morning," Usagi scolded. "We still don´t know if you got sick last night out in the rain."
Heero felt an unexpected sense of warmth. No one had ever cared for him before. He´d always taken care of himself. For as long as he could remember, he´d always cooked for himself, cleaned for himself, and bandaged his own injuries. Heck, he even set his own broken bones. But the night before, Usagi had taken him to his room, told him to change into something dry, made him hot chocolate, and sat up in his room with him until he fell asleep. He felt helpless and like a little kid to be taken care of like that, but at the same time, it was nice and comforting. He turned to Usagi. "Same to you. I know you probably got less sleep than I did," he replied in his usual monotone.
Usagi smiled. "You know, you´re a lot less menacing when you sleep," she commented.
Heero shrugged. "How exactly am I supposed to be menacing when I´m asleep?" he countered, his eyes boring into hers.
"I don´t know," Usagi admitted softly, turning her eyes to the floor and blushing.
Just then, a loud screech ruined the peace of the early morning. "HHHEEEEEERRROOO!!! Are you going to kill me now?" Relena wailed.
Quickly, Usagi pushed Heero through the nearest door. "In here, and don´t come out until I say so," she commanded.
A moment later, Relena showed up.
"Good morning, Miss Relena," Usagi greeted politely. "How are you doing?"
"Oh, it´s you," Relena sneered. "Where´s Heero?"
"I saw him walk that way," Usagi replied, pointing in the direction of the dorms.
Relena turned and continued to run down the hall. "Won´t you come kill me?" she shouted down the hall.
Usagi let out a sign of relief when the girl disappeared from sight. "You can come out now," she said through the door.
Heero walked out and looked at her strangely. He glanced at the direction Relena had run off to before leaning down and brushing his lips against his roommate´s ear. "Usagi," he started softly, "the next time you push me through a door, check where it leads to first." With that, he walked away to his class.
Usagi watched him go before leaning against the wall and letting out a shaky breath. Why did he just-? she thought, running her fingers along her ear. Then, she turned to look at the door. "Oh," she said. The door had a big sign that read "ladies´ bathroom" on it. She smiled. She wondered if Heero had to threaten anyone in there. However, she knew that despite her, uh, mistake, the two of them were on better terms now. Heero was starting to open up and she was glad. But she was also afraid. She would have to leave him when he completely opened up. She didn´t want to leave him. He filled a part of her that none of her friends had ever been able to do, and she wanted to stay like this, always.
~*~*~*~*~
At the end of the school day, Usagi walked into World History class and sat down next to Heero. Despite the fact that they had the most boring teacher, it was certainly an interesting class. She smiled at him. "What do you think will happen today?" she asked with merriment.
Heero smirked. "A water fight," he predicted.
Usagi glanced at him. "But there´s no water in here," she said with confusion.
Heero brought something out of his schoolbag. It was a water pistol. Usagi´s eyes widened. "You wouldn´t," she said.
"I wouldn´t if I don´t get hit first," Heero replied. Then he nodded in Duo´s direction. Usagi looked across the classroom, and she knew that class was going to be let out early, again. Duo was hiding a large water gun in his desk and grinning like a maniac. She shot looks at all the other guys. With the exception of Wufei, they were all concealing water guns in their desks. Usagi groaned and leaned over her desk to Heero. "Who´s brilliant idea was it to put all of you in the same class?" she whispered.
Heero shrugged. "Some idiot," he replied.
Usagi had to agree with him there. Still, it was worth being in this class just to get some entertainment. As Relena started to drone on about pacifism again, Usagi let her head drop onto her desk. She was bored. Without warning, a streak of water flew across the room and hit Trowa in the face. The silent boy stood up and fired back.
"That is not appropriate classroom behaviour!" Relena exclaimed from the front of the room. (AN: No kidding, baka.)
Duo ignored Relena and continued to shoot.
"Duck," Heero commanded as he pulled Usagi down with him. The spray of water flew over their heads and hit Wufei in the face.
"Maxwell! You´re going to die for that!" he yelled as he brought out his katana and started to chase Duo around the room.
"Ha ha, Wu-man," Duo taunted, "You can´t get me!" He continued to shoot and taunt Wufei until he was out of water. By now, Wufei was thoroughly soaked and very pissed off. Duo gulped. He hadn´t counted on Wufei chasing him until he had no more ammunition. "Easy, Wu-man," Duo squeaked out.
"Die!" Wufei shouted and ran after Duo. The braided one squealed and ran out of the room, Wufei hot on his heels. Trowa looked at his watch. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0," he counted. As soon as he said zero, the annoyed voice of the cafeteria lady rang out, "Wufei, how many times do I have to tell you not to bring that knife in here?!"
"It´s NOT a knife! It´s a KATANA, you weak onna! Ouch, stop hitting me with that damn frying pan!" (AN: Please tell me you know who said that.)
The regular teacher of the class closed the door and turned to Relena. "Now, maybe we won´t have to let class out early this time," she said.
Relena smiled. "That´s wonderful," she replied. No sooner had she said that, a water pistol flew across the room and hit her in the forehead, knocking her unconscious. The teacher blinked and glared at Heero, who smirked before glaring back. The teacher shivered in fright at Heero´s death glare. "Fine, you may leave," she muttered, exasperated.
Heero gathered his books and took Usagi´s hand. "Let´s go," he said.
Usagi blinked at his unexpected action before smiling at him. "Sure. Can you help me with chemistry?"
Heero nodded. "If you´ll explain to me why Jupiter isn´t smart enough to use birth control," he replied. (AN: Remember Hercules and the other children that Jupiter had in his affairs?)
Usagi laughed, and Heero returned that with another smirk.
Quatre smiled at the two. He hoped his friend could find what he´d always been missing with this girl, but his instinct told him that it was not going to be that simple.
~*~*~*~*~
"Ouch!" Usagi cried out, letting the knife she was holding fall to the ground.
Heero looked up from his physics homework to see the angel sucking on her index finger. "What´s wrong?" he asked.
Usagi took the finger out her mouth and bent down to pick up the knife. "I accidentally cut myself when I was trying to make that salad," she answered, putting the knife into the sink.
"Here, let me take a look," Heero offered. He got up from his chair and left to find the first-aid kit he always kept in the bathroom. Moments later, he came back and sat down next to Usagi. He blinked when he saw that the blood had already stopped. He glanced at her questioningly.
Catching his stare, Usagi blushed and mumbled, "I heal fast." It wasn´t a lie. In fact, it was the truth. Give another five minutes and the wound would have been gone. She hoped Heero wouldn´t sit there and stare until it was better, because she didn´t know how to explain such a phenomenon to him without giving away who, or what, she really was. Luckily, Heero accepted it, even if it was a little reluctantly. Who was he not to believe what she said? He was the one who ran around with multiple broken ribs, jumped from a fifty story building and lived, and survived a self-destruction of his Gundam. Shrugging, he bandaged her finger and put the first-aid kit away.
"Let´s just clean this up and eat at Quatre´s today," he suggested when he came back.
Usagi smiled. "Alright," she agreed and started to put the food away. "Thank you, Heero."
He nodded and held the door open for her as the two headed to Quatre´s dorm for dinner.
~*~*~*~*~
Heero rolled out of bed when he heard a faint beeping from his laptop. He tossed the blankets aside and started typing. He had a new message from Lady Une. It read: 01, you and the others are to infiltrate the rebels´ base at St-Edwards and copy any information you can find regarding their future plans. Destroy all evidence of your presence as well as the base. Accept or decline? (AN: St-Edwards is made up.)
"Mission accepted."
Heero snapped his laptop shut and sneaked out of his room. Usagi´s door was closed. Hopefully, he´ll be back before she found out anything was amiss. He knew, in his heart, that Usagi would accept him and the other guys for who they were despite their secret. She was just that kind of person. But he didn´t want to burden her with the knowledge that she was befriending a bunch of killers. She was too innocent for that. And, even though he would never admit it, he was afraid that she would reject them if she knew. Without making a single sound, Heero left the dorm and headed to an underground hangar, where the Gundams were kept. All the guys were already there.
"First mission in months!" Duo exclaimed. "Are we all ready to kick some rebel ass?"
Quatre smiled sadly. "As ready as I´ll ever be, but I still wished we didn´t have to do this again," he replied wistfully.
Wufei crossed his arms. "Winner, stop being a wimp. If we get rid of these rebels, we´ll get peace back," he reasoned.
Trowa turned to Heero. "Any trouble getting here?" he asked.
Heero connected his laptop to his Gundam and started to transfer any information regarding the mission to the computer in Wing Zero. "She´s asleep," he replied.
Quatre nodded. "I think we ought to tell her sometime. I mean, she should know the truth, especially if we´re going to pilot the Gundams again," he proposed.
"Yea," Duo agreed. "Besides, she doesn´t seem the type to judge us just based on this."
"If the weak and insane onna knows, then this onna knowing shouldn´t be a problem," Wufei voiced his opinion. (AN: The first onna he´s referring to is Relena, and the second is Usagi.)
Duo looked at Wufei strangely. "Wu-man, I can´t get over the fact that you don´t think Usagi is weak," he stated.
"Maxwell!" Wufei yelled. "How many times do I have to tell you? The name is Wufei!!"
"Whatever, Wu-man," Duo replied nonchalantly.
Wufei was about to raise his katana when a shot rang out. All four guys turned to Heero, who held a smoking gun in his hand. "Shut up and stop that," he ordered. "I don´t care what you do after we get back, but right now, we´re finishing this mission."
At this command, the guys got into their respective Gundams and headed towards the St-Edwards base. The place was heavily guarded with mobile suits leftover from OZ, but even so, the unprepared group was no match for the Gundams. Deathscythe-Hell slashed through two within the first five seconds. Another two fell victim to Sandrock´s heat shotels. Heavyarms took down five with its missiles and Altron cut through three with its trident. Wing Zero took down four along with the door to the base with its beam saber.
"You guys take care of these. I´ll go get the information," Heero announced through the vid-com. The other four pilots gave their consent as Heero leapt from the cockpit of his Gundam and ran into the base. The corridors were simple enough to maneuver. Stupid soldiers had nailed a map of the place near the entrance so they wouldn´t get lost. Little did they know that someone like Heero was using their horrible memory to his own advantage. Heero sneaked quietly into the control room and shot the three guards inside. Quickly, he closed the door behind him and hacked into the base´s mainframe. As the information copied itself onto a disc, Heero checked the dead soldiers for any extra weapons or ammunition. As soon as the information was copied, alarms started going off. Heero checked the computer screen before grabbing the disc and swearing under his breath. Copying that information had automatically set the self-destruct system to go off in two minutes. He ran out of the control room as quickly as he could and tore down the halls, firing left and right. A bullet hit the arm holding the gun and Heero dropped his weapon. He ignored the pain and continued to run through the halls. He didn´t even care who shot him. There was no time to lose. As soon as he reached the cockpit of Wing Zero, he activated the vid-com and the rockets.
"Guys, get out of here as fast as you can. There´s less than five seconds until the base blows," he announced.
No sooner had all the Gundams dispersed, the base blew up.
"Mission complete," Heero said just as Duo´s face came up on the screen. "Heero, I know you like cutting it close, but what the hell?" he ranted.
"I didn´t set the self-destruct system," Heero replied, "It was set for two minutes after the information is copied."
Trowa frowned. "I´d say someone knew we were coming," he said.
Heero nodded. "Let´s get back and check out what´s on this disc," he replied.
The pilots all nodded and headed back to the hangar under Peacecraft Academy. Heero accessed the information and blinked when it came up. "This is our pilot data from when OZ used Heero and myself to test out the Mercurius and VayEate," Trowa declared.
Heero nodded. "There´s also plans of another two bases in Providence and Wincara," he added. (AN: Providence and Wincara are made up names too.)
"That doesn´t make any sense," Duo complained.
"It´s not supposed to," Heero commented. "Someone wanted us dead. That´s why the self-destruct system automatically activated when I copied the information."
"I think they were using the pilot data to study our combat style," Trowa added.
Heero nodded. "The plans to the other two bases are a lure. I´ll bet there´s traps in there too."
"So what do we do now?" Duo asked, scratching his head.
"Nothing," Heero replied. "We don´t know enough to do anything about it."
"Everyone, see what you can find out about this," Trowa said.
"Heero, you should go before Usagi finds you missing," Quatre suggested. "I´ll contact Lady Une at the Preventers´ Headquarters about this."
Heero nodded. "No one says anything about this to Usagi," he instructed, "Now that we know someone wants us dead, we´ll put her in danger."
"Alright. By the way, Heero, you should take care of that wound," Quatre added as Heero left the hangar.
Duo blinked. "Hey, I think he´s starting to realize there´s something between them," he said with a grin.
~*~*~*~*~
"Pluto," Jupiter said with a frown, "Aren´t there not supposed to be anymore battles?"
"Time will play itself out," Pluto replied. "The Chosen Warrior will choose his path."
"What about. . .?" Jupiter trailed off.
"Fate will act according to his choice," Pluto answered.
Jupiter groaned. "Could you possibly be less cryptic?" she asked.
Pluto smiled. "Believe what you wish to, your Majesty," she answered.
~*~*~*~*~
Usagi stared off into the distance from the balcony. She had woken up a little earlier than usual today and had decided to check up on Heero since she still didn´t know whether or not he caught a cold out in the rain the other day. She had not been happy when she found him missing. The only reason she was not freaking out like last time was because she had tried to phone the other four guys and had found them missing as well. Therefore, she assumed that they were all together. Still, she was going to give Heero a piece of her mind when he came back. Her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Usagi whipped around and ran back into the dorm.
"Heero, how dare you just- " Usagi paused, her eyes instantly catching the wound on his arm. Her voice turned to one of concern. "What happened?" she asked.
Heero ignored her and went to get the first-aid kit in the bathroom. He continued to walk to his room, but Usagi walked in after him. "Here," she said, taking the first-aid kit from him. "I´ll do it. Just sit still." She gently pushed him onto the bed and kneeled down on the floor by him.
Heero snatched his arm back. "What are you doing?" he questioned.
"I´m taking care of your injury," Usagi replied without looking at him. She cleaned up the wound, picked out the bullet, and bandaged up his arm. She picked up the bullet with the tweezers and glanced at him. "How exactly did you get shot?" she asked. Jupiter and Pluto said he was a trained assassin, but isn´t the war over? she thought, What happened?
Heero looked at his bandaged arm and back at Usagi. "It´s nothing you need to know," he answered.
Usagi sighed. "You won´t tell me no matter how much I insist, will you?" she stated.
Heero remained silent.
Carefully so as not to move his injured arm, Usagi took his hands in her own. "I won´t press you," she said softly. "Whatever you´re doing, please be more careful."
Heero looked into her eyes. "Why do you take care of me?" he inquired. He really didn´t understand Usagi.
"Because I-" instantly, Usagi bit back her reply. Staring into the endless depth of his eyes, she found that she could no longer lie to herself, even if she wanted. He didn´t need to know the entire truth though. She paused for a few seconds before saying carefully, "You´re important to me. I want you to be happy and safe. And I care for you very much."
Why would anyone care for a cold-blooded killer like me? Heero thought with astonishment. Gently, he removed his good hand from hers and cupped her chin. For once in his life, he gave in to his emotions and did something he´d wanted to do for awhile now. Slowly, he lowered his head to hers and pressed his lips against hers in a tender kiss.
