Chapter 1: Sleeping Beauty

~*~*~*~*~*~

A dark haired woman walked out of a room and closed the door behind her. She took notice of the young man who leaned against the wall.

She walked up to him, smiling, "The girl is going to recover just fine. She had a few serious injuries, but nothing damaging."

"Did you speak to her," the man asked.

"No," she replied. "She hasn't woken up at all, the poor girl."

"May I see her?"

"I suppose….."

"Thanks," the man said, walking to the door.

The midnight haired woman smiled, "No problem. I guess hanging out with Sally helped me learn a few things about the medical field."

The man turned the door knob, but paused momentarily. "I only sent her to you because Sally wasn't here," he shrugged and entered the room. He added, "Plus, the girl didn't seem to be in any sort of danger."

The door closed before she could say anything.

Lucrecia Noin sighed, "He HAD to say something."

~*~*~*~*~*~

The man regretted closing the door hard but he was thankful that the girl didn't wake up.

He quietly made his way to the bed. He decided to keep the room dark for the reasons that he wasn't going to stay long and the moonlight was radiating enough light in the room. He looked down at the figure lying on the bed.

There he saw the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Her skin was pale and fair. She had silver-blonde hair that shimmered from the moonlight and was fastened up in two buns on either side of her head. He couldn't see the color of her eyes because they were closed at the moment, but he knew that they would match her perfectly.

'She looks like an angel,' he thought. 'Wait. She could be a spy or worse…..no, she's too beautiful and delicate. I wonder who she is?'

His eyes rested on her lips that were the perfect color of cherry blossoms.

'She reminds me of Sleeping Beauty….I could almost kiss her. Maybe she'll wake up….,' he thought. He shook his head. 'Dammit! Where did all of these ideas coming from? What am I thinking?! I can't do that….'

He continued gazing at her perfect beauty. After a few seconds, he managed to grab a nearby chair and sit on it. He leaned against it and closed his eyes.

'How can this girl make me feel this way without even trying. And she's asleep….Argh! Who is this girl!?'

The girl began stirring from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up in the bed. When she didn't recognize her surroundings she began to look around frantically.

"Where-where am I," she stammered.

"You're….safe," the man answered.

"But….," she began. She looked down at her hands. 'I'm alive? It can't be….' She began to cry softly. 'It didn't work!'

The man began to grow worried. "Don't cry. You are safe now," he said with concern. "What happened to you? We found you unconscious outside headquarters. "

The girl lowered her head.

~Flashback~

"….I love you. Remember that always," her beloved had said.

'He won't understand my pain.'

Her crystal blue eyes were filled with pain. "I don't….remember," she lied. 'Why can't I be with you, Mamo-chan? Why am I still alive?!'

"Do you remember your name," the man asked.

'Should I pretend I don't know my name? No….' she thought. She looked at the man. "Usagi," she whispered.

"Your name is Usagi?"

"It's the first name that came into my mind….," she lied again.

"But you don't remember anything else," the man asked, confused.

Usagi nodded. 'Who is this man? Why does he even care? He should have just left me to die….'

"Very well….Usagi," he replied, slowly. He brushed his bangs out of his eyes and stood up from the chair. "I'll leave you alone to rest…."

"Who are you," Usagi asked, suddenly. She was confused whether to trust this man or not. She looked up at him and waited for him to respond.

His eyes meet hers. "My name is….," he began but was interrupted when the door flew open.

"Heeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrooooooooooo!"

Usagi broke her gaze away from the man and looked at the figure walking into the room. She saw a girl with sandy-blond hair reaching out for the light switch and turning on the light. The girl stopped when she realized who the man was.

"Oh, it's you," she exclaimed.

The man sighed. "Releena, you shouldn't go around opening doors without knocking first."

The girl named Releena looked at the man. "Sorry, I was just in a hurry," she said, sheepishly. She looked at the strange girl sitting up on the bed. "Who's that? Is she the girl found unconscious outside?"

"Yes. This is Usagi. Usagi, meet Releena Peacecraft," the man introduced them. "She's my sister. My name is Milliardo Peacecraft." (AN: Hahahahaha! I bet a few of you thought it was Heero! *looks around* Er…sorry.)

"I'm pleased to meet you," Releena said walking over to the bed.

"Likewise," Usagi answered, softly.

They shook hands.

"Isn't Noin outside," Milliardo asked.

"I passed her in the hall. She had to go get some important files from her desk. She told me you were in a room, but I forgot to asked her which one," Releena responded.

"I see," Milliardo murmured. "Well, we better go. You need to sleep Usagi. We will continue talking tomorrow."

"Nice meeting you, Usagi," Releena said. "I'll also talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight!"

"Goodnight, Miss Releena," Usagi said as the sandy-blond haired girl exited the room. 'They seem like nice people.'

"If you need anything, just call me," Milliardo said, pointed to the phone on the small desk next to the bed. He gave her a piece of paper. "You can call me by dialing the number that is highlighted. It goes directly to my room. If I don't answer, there is another number you can dial. Someone will come and assist you."

Usagi stared at the paper. 'He's being so kind to me….why?'

"Usagi," Milliardo asked, concerned. "Is something wrong?"

'I miss them….' Usagi held back her tears. "No….," she whispered. "I'll be fine."

Milliardo hesitated before switching the light off. "Goodnight, Usagi," he said.

"Goodnight," she said, looking out the window.

With a sigh, Milliardo began to close the door behind him. Usagi realized this and called out his name. He turned around slowly.

"What is it, Usagi," he asked worried.

"I just want to say…..thank you," she said, softly.

He glanced at her and smiled. "You're welcome," he replied. "I'll see you in the morning."

Usagi nodded. She closed her eyes when the door closed completely. Fresh tears began to spill from her eyes.

'I miss you, Mamo-chan.'
