Author's notes: Nothing much to say.
Chapter Two
Heero did delete the message, and wondered why she
put herself as OZ. He wrote her about it. 'Why OZ' was all he wrote. Heero
then closed his laptop, stood up, put it and carried it out the door with
him. Usagi did the same, but she went separate ways from Heero once they
reached the front entrance of the dorm building. Usagi went back to the
coffee shop as Heero went to the park. She had taken her mythology book
with her. As she sat there reading, three people in the shadows were watching
her.
"There she is. It is strange that she was reborn
here," the first person said. Then, another person came from a portal.
"Actually, Michiru, it is not. She was born in a
different dimension from the inner senshi and you, the outers. She has
been trained to fight, kill, and to show no emotion. I have been watching
over her as 'Dr. M.' You see, I had to make sure that the princess could
take care of herself, as well as make sure that she was not hurt," Sailor
Pluto said.
"Koneko-chan is strong, and it isn't just her moon
power. I can sense that she is now stronger mentally and physically," the
second voice said.
"Haruka-papa, how come she looks so cold? I can
see it all the way from here," a thirteen year-old Hotaru asked the second
voice.
"She has been trained that way here in this new
life to protect herself. Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, you will be here in this
dimension watching over the princess. I will be here in about a week. You
are all enrolled in the academy that Usagi will start to attend on Monday.
I have made sure that you, Haruka, and Michiru have all the same classes
as Usagi. Hotaru, you will be in the lower grades. Try to make friends,
okay honey. Setsuna-mama will be on Earth shortly. Since there were not
enough dorms, you will have your own apartment," Setsuna, or Sailor Pluto
explained.
The three girls nodded. Then, as fast as Pluto had
come, she disappeared. They found the apartment fully furnished and with
their school uniforms and schedules on one of the tables. Haruka smirked.
Setsuna had managed to get her the male version of the uniform. After the
outers settled in, they headed out for the same coffee shop that Usagi
was at. Fortunately, they found her still there, reading her book. The
three stepped into the shop, found a table where they could see her and
still be out of earshot, and ordered. Hotaru had hot cocoa, and Michiru
and Haruka both had mochacinnos. As they sat here, they started to discuss
their current situation.
"Do you feel the tension? I feel like we are going
to get attacked by soldiers of his world since we are in the middle of
a war," Michiru stated.
"I know. I think that Koneko-chan was reborn here
because of the great need of her presence in this time. Although I don't
see her as the same bright, happy, talkative, klutzy, ditzy girl we all
loved before. Look at her now. She's as serious as you can get. I don't
see any emotion from her," Haruka said, a little depressed.
"Yes, I can see it too. But we have to make sure
that she doesn't get hurt and try to make friends, even if she doesn't
want to make friends or our protection. She seems to have locked away any
spirit that she had. We have to be nice to her though. And we can't hint
on her memory either. It is supposed to come naturally. She's also supposed
to be a trained assassin and a Gundam pilot. We have our own powerful Mobile
suits, but they do not even compare to her Gundam, and neither do the other
Gundams. Hers was specially made by both Dr. J and Dr. M, or Setsuna. I
doubt that it can get any more powerful than that," Michiru whispered.
Usagi got up from her seat and left the shop. She
had sensed that people were following her. Usagi decided to go to the park,
since it was a quiet place where she could read her book. When Usagi got
to the park, she found a spot where she could be at peace with the nature
surrounding her. The park was beautiful there was a lake in the middle
of it. Since it was winter, the lake was frozen over. To Usagi, it was
nice to see the happy families skating together. She had known little happiness
for about a month. That month was from the time she was born to the time
her parents were murdered by OZ soldiers. When she was told by Dr. M that
OZ soldiers had murdered her parents, Usagi had anger burn through her,
although she didn't show it. She trained even harder than she had been
before. Before, Usagi had been training with only the knowledge that her
parents had been murdered. She found out that knowledge at the age of four.
She didn't cry; she just took it in with anger burning through her body
and mind. When she was ten, Dr. M decided that it was time to tell her
about the OZ soldiers. That raised even more anger within her, anger she
was able to control only with her years of training. From then on, she
had wanted to destroy OZ even more. Usagi was already learning how to pilot
the extremely powerful Gundam with Dr. M, and with the power of the Gundam,
she vowed revenge.
Usagi had been sitting at the top of a hill, reading
her book. What she didn't know was that Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, and
Heero were all watching her.
"Are you sure that she actually had the guts to
pull out that gun and almost kill you, Duo?" Quatre asked doubtfully.
"Definitely. I know that she looks all innocent,
but her glare is worse than Heero's. Her glare made Heero's look like a
walk in the park through cherry blossom trees on a clear spring day, and
I'm not exaggerating," Duo said with a hint of fright in her voice.
"Really? Oh, I have a question to ask you. Did you
see that security system outside Heero's dorm? I've never seen it before
this morning," Quatre said curiously.
"Yeah, I got shocked by it. By the way, where did
it come from, Heero?" Duo asked.
"Usagi wired the system last night. I suggest that
you don't put your head or hand where it says to. It will send a slight
electric current through you, as Duo experienced. Also, if you need to
see me, I suggest you use the intercom outside the door next to the keypad.
Also, our dorm may not appear to be there once in a while," Heero explained.
"Yeah, if you start banging, Usagi will open the
door and blow your brains out. I got lucky. Heero knew who I was."
"Are you telling me that that weak onna," Wufei
began as he pointed to Usagi, "wired that entire system in a matter of
hours? Where did she get the equipment?" Wufei asked and scoffed at the
same time.
"I think she got it from the military base, although
I didn't hear of any disturbance or missing equipment. She asked where
to get computer equipment, changed when I told her that it was at the military
base, went out with a large bag, and an hour and a half later, came with
a bunch of stuff," Heero said in monotone. (A.N.: I know, I know. Heero's
saying a lot of stuff, but can I help it? What is he supposed to say, 'hn'
and not answer a lot of questions for the guys? Oh well…)
Usagi had been sitting reading her book. She got
bored with it after thinking that this was the prefect time to meditate.
She put the book down next to her, got in the proper sitting position,
and in a few moments rose a couple of feet above the ground. The five guys
saw this in awe, especially Wufei. He knew that only a great martial artist,
or someone very in tune with the spiritual world (I'm not sure about this
meditating thing, so don't get all mad.) could levitate that much off of
the ground. Usagi had been concentrating on her meditation, with her gun
in her lap. She knew that if she needed her gun, she wouldn't be able to
reach for her gun that high in the air without breaking concentration.
For about the next ten minutes, Usagi just sat there, in midair, and then
she slowly lowered herself to her former sitting position. Usagi picked
up the book and started reading again, feeling refreshed.
After the sunset, Usagi went back to the dorm. She
went through all the scans, slipped her card, punched in the code, and
went into the room. Usagi saw that no one was home, so she just decided
to take a shower. Usagi had not bothered to bring her clothes since no
one was home. When she was finished, she went out in her towel, grabbed
a couple of things, and just as she was about to go back into the restroom,
the door opened revealing her in a towel to all five guys. Usagi just went
into the restroom, not able to hear what the guys were talking about because
of the wiring.
"Heero! You're so damn lucky! She's such a babe!
I'm glad we got here when we did! Hey, you want to trade dorms?" Duo exclaimed.
"Go away, Maxwell," was all Heero said in his monotone.
Quatre was blushing a bright red, Trowa and Wufei were both leaning against
a wall, and Duo was crowding Heero asking, actually more like begging,
Heero to trade dorms. Heero went into the dorm and closed the door.
He sat on his bed, took out his laptop, and checked
his mail. He got another message from 'OZ' who was actually Usagi. 'Next
code: 9, 1, 3, 7. Remember it. Delete message.' After deleting the message,
Heero found that HE got a message from Duo. Heero, like a baka, opened
the message. 'PPPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE trade dorms with me, Heero!' Heero
immediately deleted the message. During the time that Heero was checking
his messages, Usagi stepped out of the restroom. She went over to her bed,
got out her laptop, sat down, and started to check her messages. She got
one from Dr. M. 'A couple of friends of mine have arrived on Earth already.
They will be in all your classes. They will be introduced along with you.
Good bye.' Usagi wondered how Dr. M planned these things without getting
caught. She knew so much, the past, and sometimes even the future. It creeped
her out. Usagi put away her laptop and decided to meditate again. She once
again took the proper sitting position and began to levitate off of her
bed at least three feet. She stayed that way for about five minutes, thinking
out her thoughts, questions, whatever. She then brought herself down and
started to read.
"Can you teach me to do that?" Heero asked in monotone.
"Yes, but you will have to wake up at five in the
morning tomorrow. Can you handle it?" asked Usagi in her own monotone.
"Yes," Heero replied. Usagi heard his answer and
dug through her stuff and pulled out a white karate gi.
"Here. You will need his in the morning," Usagi
said as she tossed it to him. Then she went back to her bed and started
hacking into different systems. In a few moments, Usagi and Heero heard
a loud "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrroooooo!" through their intercom after
they heard a huge scream. Obviously, Relena had been shocked and was looking
for Heero.
"Let me handle this," Usagi said to Heero as she
went up to the intercom on their side of the door.
"What do you want, you pest? Heero's not in," Usagi
said in an icy voice.
"Yes he is! I can sense it. Besides, I saw the other
guys go into their rooms and I figured that Heero would be going into his
too," Relena said matter-of-factly.
"Listen, you pathetic lovesick baka, I told you
that Heero's not here. He came in about half an hour ago and then left
ten minutes after he came in. Now leave," Usagi threatened.
"Look, I'm Queen of the Sanq Kingdom. I don't have
to take this from you!" Relena yelled.
"I don't give a damn who you are. Heero's not here.
He said something about jogging around the city about ten times for exercise.
If you're lucky, you'll catch up to him. Now go away." With that, Usagi
cut off he connection and heard footsteps running down the hall with a
loud "Heero, I'm going to catch up to you!". Usagi almost laughed at the
pathetic site, but she didn't because of her training. Heero would have
been rolling around in laughter had it not been for his training.
"Thanks," Heero muttered.
Just then, as they thought that they had cased one
pest away, another came.
"Hey, Heero, I really need to talk to you," Duo's
voice came through the intercom.
Usagi got up again.
"Heero's not in. Go away."
"Look, I know Heero's in. I just walked him to his
dorm ten minutes ago," Duo said.
"Listen, Heero left as soon as he got in. He said
something about going to one of the shops, something about a new gun, although
I don't know which one. Now leave," Usagi said in monotone.
"Thanks!" exclaimed Duo as he left.
"Thanks, again," Heero grumbled once more.
Usagi just nodded as she went back on her bed. She
pulled out another bag and took out some incense.
"Do you mind if I light these?" Usagi more like
stated.
Heero just nodded his head in recognition of yes.
Usagi lighted her incense and once again started to meditate to relieve
herself from stress. After about ten minutes, Usagi once again lowered
herself and fell asleep. Just then, Wufei came to the door.
"Wufei," was all Wufei said in identifying himself.
Heero actually unlocked the door and let him in.
"Have you been burning incense?" asked Wufei.
Heero just twitched his head in Usagi's direction
after nodding 'no'.
"That's the weak onna who set up your security system?
Are you sure she did it?"
Heero nodded 'yes' and went back to typing. Wufei
went further into the room and looked at Usagi comforter. He started tracing
the dragon and the characters with his finger. (A.N.: Don't worry, it's
part of the edge of comforter that's hanging down on the floor.) He started
speaking the language as he traced every character.
"I've missed my speaking native tongue to
people who understand," Wufei said as he finished tracing the characters.
The two decided to go for a walk to talk about the Gundams.
"Shenlong is fully repaired of all the damages
from the last mission," Wufei said.
Heero nodded and then spoke.
"As is Zero," Heero said in monotone.
The two walked in silence the rest of the
way. They got back to the dorm about half an hour later. Heero went through
all the scanning, slipped his card and punched in the new code. He went
in the dorm where he found Usagi still sleeping. Heero had explained to
Wufei not to tell Duo or Relena that he was home because Usagi had cleverly
sent them on wild goose chases. Wufei just smirked, agreed and went back
to his dorm.
The next morning at about five, Usagi, who
was dressed in her black karate gi, woke Heero up.
"Let's go," Usagi said.
Heero got up, changed into his white karate
gi, and followed Usagi out the door. When they locked up, Usagi whispered
something to him.
"Are you good in gymnastics?"
Heero nodded a 'yes' and watched Usagi cartwheel
and back flip her way down the hall. There was no sound made. Heero followed
her steps. Hey made it to the shrine where Usagi instructed Heero to sit
down in the center of the grove of trees next to her.
"Clear your mind. Breath slow, quiet, deep
breaths. Do not think of levitating, but recollect your thoughts. All your
questions, possible answers, thoughts, whatever. Think about your position
in life, etc. Remember, you have to advance slowly. You may not be off
the ground for a while," Usagi explained.
Heero nodded, and sat next to Usagi who was
already levitating. She was high in the air and she was thinking different
thoughts, such as her first day at school, which was tomorrow, questions
about Dr. M, how she always knew everything, including the past, and some
things of the future, Heero, Dr. J, and how he could build such awesome
machines…wait…how did Heero get in there? Usagi became confused, but she
did not lose concentration.
Heero had risen in the air about a foot and
was also thinking different things. How to get rid of Relena, how to punish
Duo, Dr J's missions, Usagi, his Gundam, Zero…wait, how did Usagi get in
there? When he lost his concentration on wondering how Usagi got into his
thoughts, he fell to the ground. Usagi heard the crash and lowered herself.
"Are you okay?" Usagi asked in monotone.
Heero nodded his head.
"What happened?" asked Usagi.
"I tried to mentally slap myself for a mistake I
made and fell," Heero said in monotone.
"I forgot to tell you that you can't lose concentration,
or you'll fall and hurt yourself badly," Usagi said in her monotone. "Go
ahead and get back to the dorm. I still need to keep up with my training."
Heero nodded his head in a 'no'.
"I want to see your training," was all that he said
in his monotone.
Usagi just nodded and started to flip around. She
felt like she needed to keep up with her flexibility. Then she found a
tree and started doing various moves to avoid the branches. (A.N.: She's
using it like one of those big posts with different parts coming out. You
know, like those things that Jackie Chan uses.) After doing that, Usagi
did a couple more flips, jumps, and kicks, and decided that it was time
to leave.
"Let's get back to the dorm," Usagi said. They walked
back after watching the sunrise. That was how Usagi timed her training;
from five in the morning to the complete rise of the sun. When they got
back to the dorm, Usagi took a shower first, coming out in only a towel
again because she forgot that she couldn't just re-wear her sweaty karate
gi. Heero went in next, but he remembered his clothes.
"I'm leaving the dorm. I'm getting some coffee.
Make sure that you lock it properly when you leave," Usagi instructed.
With that, she grabbed her laptop, Greek mythology
book, and a spare gun to add to the ones she had all over her body, and
left. Heero just tried to go back to sleep. When he started to drift off,
Duo came to Heero's door and frantically started banging the doors and
yelling into the intercom.
"Heero! Come on! Open up! Wufei's after me again!"
"Get over here, you braided baka! I'm going to kill
you!" Heero heard Wufei yell. Heero reluctantly got up, opened the door,
and let Duo in. Duo ran in and hid behind Heero.
"Get out from behind him, you weakling, and fight
like a man," Wufei demanded.
"What did he do, Wufei?" Heero asked in monotone.
"That braided baka just woke me up by clogging my
nose and mouth at the same time so that I couldn't breathe!" Wufei yelled.
Duo looked so innocent, with a huge grin on his face.
"Go away. I don't need you bothering me at this
hour," Heero glared.
"Wait, it's about seven in the morning. You're usually
up by this hour. Why do you want to go back to bed?" Duo asked.
"None of your business. Now get out," Heero still
glared.
"Come on, Heero. There must be a reason to get back
into bed…wait, does it have to do with that chick that's living with you?"
Duo asked with a mischievous grin on his face.
Heero glared at him, daring him to make any more
comments. Duo just smiled. Heero then closed the door on him and went back
to bed. He tried to fall asleep again, but was unsuccessful. Since he had
already taken a shower, he got dressed in black baggy sweats, since it
was winter, and his usual green tank top, but this time with a green jacket.
He then decided to go out, so he locked the door and went to the park.
Heero looked at families skating on the frozen pond, just as Usagi had
done before.
Meanwhile, Usagi was at the coffee shop again, only this time, she
was on the second floor. Many of the other customers were on the first
floor, so she went to the second, since she really didn't like people being
so close to her. She realized that she was the only person on the second
floor, and was glad. She finally had a place to be alone. Usagi ordered
a latte and sat at one of the cushioned booths with her legs spread out,
and started reading.
While she was reading, three people came up to the
second floor, much to her disappointment. One was a small thirteen year-old
girl with black hair and violet eyes, another an eighteen year-old girl
with wavy shoulder length aquamarine hair, and the last one looked like
a man, but Usagi could tell she was an eighteen year-old woman with short
blond hair in men's clothes.
They sat at a couple of booths away from Usagi, and ordered their drinks.
Usagi ignored them and continued reading. The girl with the black hair
came up to Usagi, much to her surprise.
"What are you reading?" Hotaru asked innocently.
"Greek Mythology," Usagi replied without a glance
at the girl.
"Is it interesting?"
"Yes," Usagi replied in monotone.
"Do you want to be my friend?" Hotaru asked.
Usagi thought about it for a while. She didn't know
what to say. A friend was supposed to be someone you trusted, and
Usagi knew that you couldn't trust anyone.
"Umm…" Usagi began.
"That's okay. You probably don't trust me. I understand.
Well, will you at least talk to me?"
Usagi nodded her head. She set her book down.
"So, tell me your name," Usagi told the girl.
"Hotaru. Yours?"
"Usagi."
"So, Usagi, can you tell me a little about what
you were reading?" Hotaru asked.
"There are myths that the people of long ago
believed. Right now, I'm on the myth of the moon."
"Really? Can you tell me about it?"
Usagi nodded her head.
"You see, there were different gods of he moon.
There was one long ago named Selene. She was said to have fallen in love
with an Earth shepherd and went to him in his dreams. The shepherd's name
was Endymion. He was given the choice by Zeus to either die or stay forever
in sleep. He agreed to fall asleep and be visited by Selene. Later in time,
the goddess Artemis, or Diana replaced Selene of the moon. I don't think
that the translation for the story of Selene and Endymion was correct,
though. Usually, gods and goddesses are not replaced unless something tragic
happens. Obviously, in the story I told you, there was nothing tragic.
Every god or goddess is immortal, so they could have only been killed by
other gods or goddesses that were more powerful, suicide, or by one of
the different weapons that were designed to kill them."
"I see. So you're saying that Selene didn't really
fall in love with this Endymion guy, but probably got killed or committed
suicide because of another?"
"Probably. I'm not sure though. It's pretty complicated."
"Oh…I can see that reading seems to be a hobby of
yours. Do you do anything else?"
"Actually, I do a lot of things you're friends over
there wouldn't like me to explain to you. You're still young, innocent.
I can tell you, though, that I like to do martial arts and meditating."
"Really?" asked Hotaru as her eyes went wide. "I'd
like to see you do something sometime."
"Here, how about now?" With that, Usagi got on the
floor, started meditating, and rose above the ground a few feet within
seconds.
"Wow," Hotaru said as Usagi lowered herself in front
of Hotaru. "Do you think that you can teach me to do that?"
"I don't know. You see, I'm already teaching my
roommate to do it, and I don't think I can teach more than one person at
a time. Sorry," Usagi said in monotone.
"Ah, man! I want to learn to do that," Hotaru said
as she pouted.
"Hotaru!" Michiru called. "We have to go."
"Okay, Michiru-mama! I'll see you later, okay Usagi!"
"I have to get going too. Bye, Hotaru" Usagi told
her. She picked up her things, paid for the coffee, and went on her way.
She decided to go back to the dorm. When she got there, Usagi saw Relena
banging on the door and yelling into the intercom. Usagi knew that Heero
wasn't home, so she did the retina, handprint, and voice tests. When the
tests confirmed her authorization, the keypad lighted
up. Then Usagi told Relena to move. Relena did, seeing the death glare
that Usagi gave her, as well as the gun that was pointed in between her
eyes. . Usagi swiped the card and punched in the numbers. The door opened,
and as soon as Relena tried to follow in after her, Usagi slammed the door
in Relena's face.
Relena again angrily marched down the
hall, muttering something about it not being fair that the crazy girl got
to live with Heero. Just then, Heero had been coming down the hall. Relena
squealed at the sight of him, and squeezed him as hard as she could.
"Relena…I…can't…breath…Get…off…of…me…" Heero said
icily.
"Fine," Relena said as she let go of him. "So, Heero,
where are you going?"
"None of your business," Heero said in his monotone.
"You're not going back to that crazy girl, are you?
Because if you are, I think you should change your mind. I think she'll
end up killing you in your sleep," Relena tried to convince Heero.
"Go away," Heero said as Relena started to follow
him. He talked into the intercom. "Heero."
Just then, the door opened for him to enter, and
as Relena started to follow him into the room, Heero slammed the door in
her face.
"Well, I never…" Relena muttered as she marched
down the hall again. Heero came into the room not seeing Usagi, so he went
into the bedroom where he saw Usagi on the balcony reading again. Heero
sat on his bed and opened his laptop to check his mail. He found another
million from Relena. Heero deleted all of these, changed his e-mail address
once more, and e-mailed Usagi to tell her the new address. He kept going
down the list when he saw one from 'OZ'. 'The next code is 2, 0, 8, 1.
It won't be activated until 11:30 tonight. Delete message at 11:30 P.M.
I will send you the list of codes for the next year. If you change your
address, notify me.' Heero already made sure of notifying her, and kept
going down the list. There was one from Dr. J. '01, I want to notify you
of another Gundam, the most powerful. I worked on this Gundam with the
accomplice that will be arriving on Earth next week, as I told you before.
The pilot does not know your identities, and you do not know the pilot's.
I do not want you to attack the Gundam if you see it. Notify the others.
Also, my accomplice has sent three other pilots, but they are pilots of
mobile suits. Do not attack them either. You will notice that these mobile
suits stand out from others. I repeat, do not attack the other Gundam or
the new suits. Delete message now. Good Bye.'
Heero deleted the message and started thinking.
'A new Gundam and pilot? Dr. J said that the pilot was on our side. I guess
I'll have to call the guys over.' Heero went out to the balcony.
"Usagi, do you mind if I call the guys over? I need
to speak with them," Heero said in monotone.
Usagi looked at him in disgust.
"Wait until I leave. I don't like people so close
to me." Usagi closed her book and went into her room. She grabbed a coat
and was about to head towards the park until she realized that it had just
started snowing. Usagi grumbled to herself and headed back to the dorm.
She reached for the intercom and said, "Usagi" and the door opened. Usagi
walked into the room, ignoring the five guys in the living room, and going
straight for the bedroom. She slammed the door and pulled out her laptop
and started checking her mail. She found one from Dr. M. '00, I want to
again tell you that I will be arriving on Earth next week. I need to tell
you that my three friends have mobile suits as well, but you will be able
to notice them easily in battle. Their color and shape are completely different
from OZ's. I want to also remind you that you have school tomorrow. Get
to sleep early. I still am your guardian. Stop glaring at the screen tomorrow.
Also, I want to tell you not to shoot anyone at school, especially the
teachers, no matter how wrong or annoying they may be. Oh, do not attack
any of the other Gundams. There are five of them, although you may only
meet about two or three of them. Again, sleep early, and get to school
on time. I know strict you are with yourself about your training and waking
up early. Good bye.'
