Unknown Memoirs…..
By: Mirai Megami
AN: Hello all you faithful readers! Here is chapter 9, and here is where the romance will finally appear! I hope you will like the pairings and won't think that the romance is cheesy. Well I know at the moment there mustn't be much of a plot but don't worry all these chapters are building up to it. There should be plot development by the 10th or 11th chapter. So please R&R.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
And thus Hotaru and Usagi set off down the up the stairwell.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Trowa then walked into the dining only to see the whole table filled with all types of delicious food. Duo was already seated at the table and prepared to dig into the food that was on his plate in front of him. Duo's entire plate was overtaken with food.
Quatre: "Duo you should wait until the others get here! Don't be so rude!"
Duo: "Q-man I'm not being rude! You know them if they come down at all they will take ages to get here and then eat hardly anything!"
Trowa and Quatre looked at each other then Duo. They both finally sighed realizing it was true and prepared to sit down. Ami and Minako decided to sit as well since even though Usagi may have matured she still ate like she hadn't in hundreds of years. Minako took the seat beside Quatre who got out of his seat and helped to push her in, and Trowa did the same for Ami.(What gentlemen!) Makoto and Rei decided to bring food for Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna. At the same moment Ririka went off behind Rei and Makoto with her dinner in her hands. She had decided to eat dinner watching over Setsuna and give Setsuna her food. Quatre and Minako immediately started a conversation. Duo was to busy stuffing his face with food to talk to anyone. Trowa and Ami were sitting silently for a few moments when Ami finally started a conversation with him about technology and their pasts. (Always sophisticated Ami!)
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Haruka! Haruka it's me Rei. I have food for you and Michiru."
"Come in Rei."
"So is she doing any better?"
"Well her head stopped bleeding if that's what you mean."
"Well that's good. You should really only give her this soup since I doubt that she will be able to eat anything solid at the moment."
"Right! So who's feeding Setsuna?"
"Makoto I think…..I saw Ririka Naotake follow her although I don't think Makoto noticed."
"Rei. Watch out for that girl! I don't know what it is but something's amiss with her."
"Haruka when was it the last time you even ever trusted anyone? At first you didn't even trust us! You shouldn't hold a grudge against everyone."
Haruka just grunted at this. "Well I'm gonna go downstairs for my dinner if you and Michiru want anything trust me there's plenty of food there and there's always the medical "room." "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Don't worry about it we're fine." Rei then shut the door behind her with a look of sorrow and worry on her face.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Makoto was about to enter Setsuna's room when Ririka called out her name.
"Makoto! Makoto! Wait! I'll take care of Setsuna you can take your food downstairs again. I've got my own food here."
"Are you sure? I'll do it if you don't want to."
"Iie, Iie, Iie. (No. Did I spell it right?) Don't worry I can feed her. It's my way of repaying your hospitality."
"Well okay." Makoto set down Setsuna's food on the desk next to her bed. Makoto looked towards Setsuna who seemed paler than usual but quickly dismissed her thoughts and left. On her way down she saw Rei, and they walked down the hallway together, conversing about miscellaneous things including things about Setsuna and Ririka.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Usagi and Hotaru then arrived at the hallway the boys stayed in. There were numerous doors and they all looked the same.
Usagi: "Ahh…I thought Trowa said that their doors would be the only ones closed, but they're all closed!"
Hotaru: "Umm….I guess he said it was easy because he lives with them and knows all the doors."
Usagi: "Well I guess we'll split up and just knock on every door until we get a response."
Hotaru: "Right. I'll take the right and you take the left. Guess I'll see you in a little while."
Usagi: "Ditto."
And with that they separated to take on the opposite sides.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Hotaru had already knocked on about 6 doors, for she had lost count. And her knuckles were beginning to get sore.
"Man where are these guys? Why do they have to be scattered." For Usagi was already 5 doors down from her and still no one had replied to her knocks.
Finally 2 doors later she got a response.
"Come in!" The voice sounded slightly pissed at being bothered, but she entered his room anyway. The minute she shut the door a knife was thrown at the wooden board attached to the door next to her. It startled her so much she lost her breath for the knife struck only inches away from her face.
After a few moments Hotaru came out of her stupor. "What the hell is your problem? Why'd you do that?"
"You should always be prepared for anything. That just proves your weakness as a so-called senshi." Wufei replied taking the knife off the wooden board and setting it down on his desk.
"What? How dare you! You don't know what I've been through! I've probably been through worse than you will ever go through!"
"The only reason it was so difficult is because your just to weak to stand it."
"You bastard!" She fastly started to approach him, and then prepared to hit him, but when she brought her hand down to strike he grabbed her wrists. She kept struggling and trying to hit him at the same time.
"Don't waste your time onna."
"What would you know?! All the battles I've been trough Mistress 9, Queen Nelenia, and Galaxia. Watching helplessly while all my friends are being hurt and killed and not being able to help them. Then at school everyone calling you a freak and being afraid of you, and have them all hate you. And what about my father! Why did he have to die, while I continued living? How could you possibly know?!"
Her eyes were beginning to well up with tears that were preparing to fall down her face. She then brought her foot behind his and tripped him. But before they fell on the bed (they are by the bed) he flipped her underneath him and held her arms above her head.
"Don't even go there onna. My whole clan was isolated to our colony, then being attacked by Oz and then my wife trying to save us all but failing then dying in my arms. Then going down to earth alone to fight by myself. Then the people you are fighting for betray you. Then the colony with your closest thing to family (you know the old training shrine with Master Long guy?) blow up right in front of you. Then after it is all over you can't help but think of all those naïve people you killed. Don't say that to me!"
Her face was turned to the side so it was hidden. "Onna look at me!" He grabbed her chin and turned her face to look at him. He was taken aback by the look on her face. Her eyes were bloodshot from all the tears that were fleeing from her eyes. Her cheeks looked like a tiny river flowing to her ears because of her tears. He was speechless and before he could say anything she brought her foot to his stomach and flipped him over her head. She quickly got up and ran out the door. He quickly regained his composure and then tried to return to his meditating but couldn't concentrate because for the first time in his life he felt guilty for hurting a woman. He quickly got up and ran out after her.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Usagi was still knocking on doors when Hotaru had already entered one of the rooms with one the Gboys in it. And finally 5 doors later she heard a person typing on a computer but being the playful one she was wanted to surprise him. So she didn't knock and slowly and as quietly as she could opened the door then she flung the door open and prepared to scream out his name but her neck was quickly grabbed and slammed against the wall. The shadowy figure shut the door with his foot and put his gun to her forehead.
"What do you want? Why are you in my room?" He shouted in his cold monotone that sounded more like a demand than a question.
"Kami-sama! What's your problem?! I just came up here to tell you dinner is ready."
"Does that require you trying to sneak in and swing the door open like a mad woman?"
"I just thought it would be funny to surprise you."
"Well it's not funny! Now get out!" He then released her and returned to his laptop. Usagi was just about to leave but she wasn't about to let him get away with this.
"Hey you I didn't waste all this time away from all of Makoto's delicious food just to be kicked out like this! I demand an apology!"
"I don't apologize!"
"Oh don't you! Well now you will!" She then reached to turn off his laptop but was immediately stopped by his hand grabbing her wrist.
"Don't even think about it! This has taken me a long time!"
"What are you typing anyway?" She turned her head down to look but he quickly pushed her away. "Is there a purpose for you staying here?"
"Yes there is! It's to get an apology from you even if it takes me forever."
"Well that won't be necessary." Usagi first got ecstatic but it didn't last long for before she knew it he was preparing to push her out his door. "Well God I bet you would kill a little girl if she was bothering you." This comment must have struck a nerve in him or something for he stopped trying to drag her out the door but still firmly held her upper arm. He then turned her to face him and he had a look of pure disgust on his face.
"How dare you! I'm not a barbarian despite what you may think. I would give up my own life if I could bring back that innocent little girl that didn't deserve to die because of my screw up." Usagi then had a look of pity on her face and a look of sadness in her eyes. She didn't know what to say. How could she?! After this! How can you console a soldier who blames himself for the death of a child!
"Your not the only one who feels guilty about the deaths of people. All my friends in countless battles died because they wanted me to live. I watched as they were killed before my very eyes and me unable to stop them." He looked up at her.
"Well that shouldn't mean to give up. Your family would always need you. But unlike you I have no family and never have."
"Well I don't have family anymore. They all died in front of me while I remained ageless. Then all my friends aging as well and then dying. The only one who had kept me going is Mamoru but even now he is dead." He looked at her. "Who was Mamoru?"
"Mamoru was my boyfriend and was to be my husband before he died just recently." Usagi's eyes then started to get blurry as tears welled up in her eyes as her memories of all these incidents were brought back to her head. Hiiro then wiped a tear that threatened to fall down her face. She looked up at him with her watery eyes shocked at what he had done. She then prepared to walk out his door when he grabbed her wrist. He brought his face inches from hers to the point where their lips almost met. "Tears don't look very attractive on your beautiful face. You shouldn't cry about the past but look toward the future for a better future for yourself." He whispered to her slowly. He then took his face away and slowly walked back to his computer.
Her face was flushed and she slowly brought her fingers to her lips. 'What was that?' She deeply pondered. She was utterly confused at his sudden outward behavior. From what she'd heard about him this certainly the type of person he truly was. She knew she would get no more out of him. No matter how cute he may have been she didn't think she had the strength to start another relationship, if that's even what he wanted, just to lose him to. She then slowly left his room totally confused by her own thoughts, but before she left she looked back at him and then left.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Dinner was now over. Duo was full to capacity, and that meant he ate platefuls. Everyone, excluding Haruka and the others, was now in the living room chatting away. Minako continued flirting with Quatre, Trowa and Ami were quietly talking to each other isolated from the whole group at the other end of the room, while Duo was the one flirting with Makoto and Rei. Although Rei seemed to be more interested in all his comments than Makoto who seemed to contemplating something.
Duo: "Hey Makoto! That's your name right? What's with the deep thoughts? What are you thinking about?"
Makoto: "Oh nothing really! At least I don't think it's anything."
Rei and Duo looked at each other but before Duo could say anything he looked at Quatre who was now bright, bright red and Minako giggling right next to him.
Duo: "Man look at those two! They haven't been separated since she got here. Talk about flirting! And I think this is all rubbing off on Trowa now because he and Ami are flirting with each other now."
Makoto: "And like you weren't just flirting with us a minute ago."
Duo looked at her and then sweat-dropped. "Well enough about my actions! That's not the point." Before Makoto could make her smart remark Duo cut her off.
"Hey Quatre Trowa! What's with all this flirting! I've never seen you act this way in front of anyone! I'm appalled." At this outburst Quatre and Ami flushed a crimson red, while Trowa seemed indifferent but a slight blush was apparent on his cheeks. But before anyone could protest Makoto smacked him upside his head. "You baka! Leave them alone, and mind your own business." Duo was now holding his head and was being consoled, but yet also scolded by the fiery woman Rei. And just before anyone could even speak Hotaru ran right through the room and out the door hiding her face all the while.
All the Senshi: "Hotaru?"
Then moments later Wufei ran into the room as well. Quatre: "Wait don't go outside because it's-" He was cut off because he noticed Wufei wasn't listening to him and had already ran out the door. "-raining." He finished.
Duo: "Umm….could someone please tell me what the hell just happened here?"
Makoto: "We don't even know what just happened here so don't ask stupid questions that you know we don't know the answer to."
Duo then glared at her, which she returned all the same.
Rei: "Hey you two stop!" Rei then jumped in-between the two now standing characters. "Well I will if she would stop mocking me!" And before she could answer she noticed he had his back turned to her and was raving mad. He then began to murmur curses and stomped off to his room. Rei: "Well I can see he is a little fussy." A smile then crossed her face. "Little?" Makoto corrected. Rei then started laughing and Makoto had her usual serious face.
Quatre: "Hey I can't believe it's already 12:00! I think we should all turn in for the day since it has been a really long day." (Yes this all happened in a day! Just think of these chapters like that 5 minute fight with Freeza in DBZ, that lasted a whole week of episodes!)
Trowa: "Shouldn't one of us stay up until they get back?"
Quatre: "I will."
Trowa: "No you can go to sleep. I'm not even tired I'll stay up."
Quatre: "Well if you say so."
With that everyone, excluding Ami, went to bed. Ami: "Well I'll stay up to keep you company." "You really don't have to if your tired." "No I'm not really tired either since I'm kinda used to this sort of thing since I'm a doctor." "Well if you want." With that she continued their conversation. Although it was plainly obvious that sleep was taking over all of Ami's body. After awhile she was asleep although Trowa had not yet noticed this. He continued to talk about how lonely he was in all his battles as a Gundam Pilot, and didn't notice this till she fell limp against his shoulder.
'I knew she was tired it was obvious she just didn't want me to be lonely, she is so kind. Even in her sleep she looks like a goddess. What a minute! Why am I thinking this?! I don't have time to confuse myself with these emotions. But I can't even stop these thoughts. Shut up Trowa! Shut up!' After what seemed to be hours he then gave in to his emotions and put his arm around her shoulder and then his own sleep took him over as well. He then fell limp as well and his head fell on top of hers, where he could smell her hair, which smelled of Sage. They both fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms without a care in the world.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
'I can't believe that guy thinks I'm just like that! He doesn't know me, he never could.' Tears continued to flow from her eyes as she ran as fast as she could through the streets of Tokyo. She was soaking wet but she didn't care, she then turned a corner into an alley. She abruptly stopped because of a rather large dark figure standing at the end of the alley. Lightening streaked across the sky and gave a faint description of the thing that stood in front of her. It had the head of a wolf and the body of a human. "A youma?" "You got that right Saturn." She gasped at his knowledge of who she truly was. "Well if you know that then I guess there's no point in hiding it." She held up her henshin wand and shouted, "Saturn Crystal Power, Make Up." Hundreds of dark maroon ribbons surrounded her body and then there stood Saturn.
Before she could summon her glaive the monster balled its fist and out of its knuckles shot out sharp arrows. She successfully dodged three of the arrows and when she thought she escaped them all but one skidded against her skin with great force. She shot her arm up but it did nothing and when she looked down at her arm it was dripping with blood. All the blood was turning her white glove into a red glove. This caused her great pain but she had to ignore it. When she finally summoned her glaive she noticed the monster had disappeared. "Where?" She feverishly looked around for it. "Looking for me?" She then looked in front of her and the monster was only inches from her she then prepared to jump back but before she could the monster balled its fist once again and spikes appeared on his knuckles this time and he punched her in her stomach with his fist. She flew back into the street holding her now bleeding stomach. She skidded on the road a few feet, which gave her a bleeding upper arm. She looked up at it wincing in pain, the creature was now smiling. "Now it's your end." She prepared to get up but then noticed a car fastly approaching her.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!" And moments before it struck her a figure grabbed her and landed on the street. The car still went on driving like nothing had happened. "Stupid asshole!" The man yelled after the psychotic driver. "Who's this new nuisance?" "Chang Wufei. You arrogant bastard." She then looked up at Wufei who was soaking wet staring at the monster with a pure look of hatred that would have sent others cowering in fear. "What are you doing here?" But he never answered her so she gave up and got up and prepared to attack. "Well this doesn't matter I'll kill you both!" "Who do you work for? What this thing about a Mistress?" Shouted Wufei. "Like a would tell a worthless human like you! I'm not as dense as that other baka!" He then pushed Saturn out of the way and the monster prepared to ram into him but he took out his gun (yes he has a gun!) and started shooting it which the monster just remained indifferent to and continued his assault. Wufei dropped his gun and prepared to leap out of the way but it was to late and the monster elbowed him into a store window. He then fell into the store and prepared to get up. "So still refuse to go down huh? Well then this will finish you!" Arrows then came out of his knuckles, but before he knew it he heard a woman shout, "Death Ribbon Revolution!" He turned around but not in time. He had totally forgot about her and realized what a fatal mistake he had made. For at that moment he was engulfed by hundreds of tiny sharp maroon ribbons, which cut him into hundreds of little pieces. All the parts of his cut up body fell to the ground that were surrounded by its purple blood that flooded into the sewer because of the pouring rain.
She then collapsed because of her lack of energy because of all the energy that she had lost from that attack. Her transformation faded while her bleeding body was lying still on the watery ground. Wufei then got out of the store with a few cuts and bruises. But he could handle it. He then went up to the unconscious Hotaru and picked her up and then carried her back to Quatre's mansion. When he entered he saw the sleeping Trowa and Ami in each other's arms. He brought Hotaru back to room as quietly as he could. He noticed it was 1:00 a.m. When he looked down at her cuts he noticed they were gone. 'I guess that since she can heal others cuts her body heals hers even in her subconscious.' He then noticed that she was shaking from her soaking wet clothes. So he then set off towards his room. He went into his dresser drawer and took out a baggy shirt of his. He then took off her soaking wet clothes and put them on his bedstand and slipped his baggy shirt on her, which went about to her mid-thigh. She was still unconscious through all this. He then changed into a loose navy-blue tank top and loose pajama pants. He then got into the bed as well and tucked her under the covers. He looked down at her. 'She looks like a fragile china doll. And her pale skin greatly contrasts her large amethyst eyes. I can't believe how much we truly have in common.' He then reached his head down and softly brushed his lips against hers. 'Wait a minute. I can't believe I just did that!? But then again I can't believe my own actions since I ran after her and all these emotions I have that I've never felt for anyone before. With my wife I think, but I never really got to respect or even love her till it was too late. All I did was treat her with scorn and I only got married because, it was prepared by my elders. But now what?' He then tried to forget all his worries and to look toward his future. He slid behind her and protectively wrapped his arms around her stomach and waist. He then fell blissfully asleep with the smell of lavender soothing him in his sleep.
TBC………………
AN: What did you think? Wufei was really OOC don't ya think!? Well I wanted it just like that. And since someone said I should add more action I decided to add a battle here. I actually think the battle made it better even if the battle was lame. Well don't worry but later on I will add on romance for our other senshi and pilots. Also in case you haven't noticed the couples are Hotaru/Wufei (obviously! =\), Usagi/Hiiro (that's obvious too!), Minako/Quatre (that's been plainly obvious for several chapters!), Ami/Trowa (I think they are a lot alike! Also I will give them a better romance later on same for the others!), and lastly I'm still not sure who Duo and I think Rei. Should it be Makoto, I can't make up my mind! Sorry if it's been going slowly but there will be a better plot in chapter 11 or 12. So don't hate me for being slow. Well stay tuned and arigatoo for everyone who reviewed! This was my longest chapter yet! Cool, ne? Well JA NE! =)
