Prologue

"Trowa, you need to rest. You haven't left that chair in 9 days. I practically have to shove the food down your - "

"I found her!" he uncharacteristically cried, jumping up, "All right Cathy. I'll eat now. I found her."

"What makes you think she'll take you back after the way you treated her? If I were her, and you showed up on my doorstep -"

"You'd kick me out. Well, then what should I do? To get her back, I mean."

"Well, first of all, STOP INTERRUPTING ME!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After years of hard work, Destiny finally had her life back on track - kind of. Sure, she had a well paying job, an old, large house, a dog, and friends. What she didn't have was what mattered most: a family of her own. She had often dated - at first - but she soon realized that she imagined every man as Trowa. And that often posed as a major problem, seeing how every guy wanted more than just fun. Yes, that's right. The one woman who attracted men who wanted commitment and she didn't want them. Some blessing! It turned out to be a curse. Because the only man she wanted was the one man on the planet who didn't want her back. "Destiny-" her roommate broke through her thoughts, "There is someone at the front door. He seems pretty adamant about seeing you. Do you want me to let him in?" Kumiko had been a friend, who, like Destiny, was lonely, so they had moved in together. They were like the sisters neither had ever had.

"Yes, please. I will be out in a sec. I just have to finish cleaning these paint brushes." Destiny had immediately taken up painting after running away, and excelled rapidly at it.

"Sure thing! By the way, he's a riaru kyuutii (note: real cutie)!" Kumiko turned with a smile, her long hair pulled into a braid that came to her ankles. One thing she had always marveled at was how beautiful her black hair looked pulled away from her clear skin. Kumiko was completely Japanese, and her name meant braid, which often caused them to giggle.

Wondering whom it might be, she wandered into the large living room, and stopped dead in her tracks. "What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

Standing up, the man walked to her. He stopped within an arm's reach of her. "I've missed you so much. You're even more beautiful than before." He reached out towards her, but she backed away. A hurt look came across his face.

"Answer me!" she howled, choking down a sob. He reached out towards her again, but she at his arm.

"Destiny - please! Hear me out. I found you, because I have been searching for you since the day you left. I have traveled all over the planet and colonies trying to find you. Please, just listen," tears gathered in his eyes, something Destiny had never seen before, but she wouldn't give in that easily.

"Leave."

"Please!"

"NOW!"
