Author's Notes: Okay, I wanted to tell you that finished this chapter, and I got it out pretty fast! Yeah! I'm not sure if it's good, but for right now, I'll keep it. I have to tell you something. It seems as if I'm not getting my damn chapters out fast enough. You see, I got the idea for Duo's braid a while back, but it seems as if the person that wrote Give a Reason, used something like it, and I'm not sure if that's copying or not because I seriously got this idea a long while back. Okay, I have an idea for an ending, and I'm pretty sure we will be seeing some fighting very soon. I don't think that Usagi will get her memories back in this fic. You see, what I was thinking was that this would be Usagi's first reborn life with nothing to do with the senshi or moon kingdom or any of the Sailor Moon plot. Also, I'd just like to say that I'm working on another fic, and school, so getting this one out everyday, or week for that matter, is basically Mission Impossible. Okay, I'm sorry for bothering you. By the way, please read my friend, Meddling_Maiden's stuff. You don't have to worry, it's original poetry, and it's really good. Okay, enough said. On with the fic!
Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. They are owned
to very talented artists who are now very very very rich. I am not rich, and I can
never freehand as well as Naoko Taekuchi. However, I do own a few pairs of
turquoise contacts, but I don't think that you want my prescription contacts.
*Last Time:*
Back in the bathroom, Usagi decided to take a shower. She had had enough of being weak to last her a lifetime. She rid herself of her clothes, turned on the hot water, and calmed down as the hot water hit her. 'No more…no more of all this lying…Treize, you will finally find out what it means to be lonely…' Usagi's thoughts drifted back in time.
*Flashback*
Usagi was sitting as usual on her bed typing her laptop. She had been doing some research on OZ, and it's leader, Treize Kushrenada. She had been on the net all day, looking for some hidden information. She finally found a site that took some time getting into. It showed everything about Treize, his present life, his private life, and most importantly, his past life. As Usagi was reading on his past, she stumbled upon something that was very unexpected. 'No,' was all that came out of Usagi's mouth.
*End of Flashback*
Chapter Eight
From that day, Usagi had vowed her revenge, and how she would do it. Her mind trailed off as she once again felt the hot water on her body. 'You will pay, Mr. Kushrenada.'
Heero had been on his bed trying to get the thoughts of Usagi out of his head. It didn't help one bit that he heard the water turn on from the bathroom indicating that Usagi was taking a shower. 'Why, kami-sama, why must I suffer like this?' he practically screamed. Heero was going through mental trauma, or as he would call it, a distraction, one that he had to get rid of as soon as possible. There was no way in hell he'd admit that Heero Yuy, Perfect Soldier, was starting to experience feelings.
Usagi finished her shower, dried herself, and once again got dressed. She was only wearing the tank top and her underwear, if you didn't count the gun strapped to her thigh, the one that had been there even when the leather pants were on. Usagi put her silenced PP7 on her back. She walked out the door again, went to where she had last left her pants. She took off the gun strapped to her thigh, put on the leather pants, and re-strapped (A.N.: I'm not sure if that's even a word.) the gun. She had put her wet hair up into a tight bun on her head. Usagi went outside to the cool darkness of the night turning into morning. She took a small walk to find a place where she could train. The only place Usagi could find was the backyard of the mansion. (A.N.: Walking in Quatre's mansion has got to be a small walk in itself.) She took off her shoes, and found a small clearing within the trees. The yard was covered with grass, so it wasn't as hard on her feet as the occasional gravel landscape that she trained in. Usagi closed her eyes and started her usual kata. Usagi was trying to concentrate on her mission, and nothing else.
Heero had seen Usagi walk out the door. He was wondering where she was going, but that thought was quickly pushed out of his mind. Heero got out of the bed and tried to think straight. He rubbed his face and went into the restroom. He too took a shower to get his thoughts straight. As soon as he finished, Heero wrapped a towel around his waist, water still dripping (A.N.: Stop drooling, damn it! I know you Heero lovers are probably loving this, but please, contain yourselves! Thank you.), and went out to the balcony. There, he got a great view of the landscape behind the mansion, something he had never noticed before. Heero looked out into the stars, and the moon. It was full that night, and totally captured his eye. 'I guess I never take time to look at the moon anymore. All I see in the moon when I'm ever on it or pass by it is just a hunk of rock floating around the Earth. It's truly sad. Mental sigh What am I doing? I'm the perfect soldier, void of any humanly weak emotions. But it's her eyes…her eyes that attract me so much to her…her eyes that are so void of emotions, just like mine…they shouldn't be that way. She is one who should be an innocent, not an assassin like me…but her eyes, they prove what she truly is now…' Something interrupted Heero out of his thoughts. 'Wait…what's that down there in the trees?' Heero squinted, trying to get a better look. 'Oh, it's just Usagi training. What time is it anyway?' Heero looked on the wall where there was a simple yet elegant clock. It was a circular shape, outlined in platinum, with numbers and the hands in platinum as well. The soft 'tick, tick, tick' of the clock was what drew Heero to it. '5:15. The sun should be coming up soon,' Heero thought. He went back inside the room to get dried off and dressed.
Usagi finally stopped training. She could see the first signs of daybreak and started to meditate. She knew that the sun would be coming up soon, so she might as well get some meditation into her training. As soon as the sun was fully up, Usagi returned to her room. She knew that she could just flip up onto the balcony, but Usagi needed a little time to think to herself, and walking all the way through the mansion was a good way to think out her thoughts. As she was retuning to the room, Usagi ran into one of the servants. She closed her eyes, then, as she opened her eyes, Usagi put on some fake emotions.
"Excuse me, do you know where I can find a change of
clothes?" Usagi asked the servant.
"Oh, you are one of the eleven of Master Quatre's guests?"
the girl asked.
"Yes, I am. I was wondering-" Usagi was cut off.
"Oh, then please, follow me. I'll get you a change of clothes." Usagi followed the girl to a place where there were hundreds of outfits.
"Take your pick. Master Quatre has these just for his guests," the girl remarked. Usagi thanked the girl, chose a pair of baggy guys jeans, a baggy guy's shirt, and a bucket hat. Usagi hen left and went towards her room.
There, Usagi met with Heero. She didn't even talk to him, or vice versa. Usagi headed straight for the bathroom, and took a shower. She dressed in her new clothes and tied up her hair in a tight bun and placed the bucket hat on her head really low so that it covered her eyes. Usagi looked like a guy, and unless you looked really close, you couldn't tell that it was a girl. She headed once again towards the room where she would wait until they were called down for breakfast, and at which time she could kindly thank Quatre and leave for the dorms.
Meanwhile in the rooms two doors down on the right, Wufei was perfecting his plan. He had been preparing for weeks, always looking for the right moment. Wufei glanced at the sleeping Duo. Earlier in the morning (A.N.: They did get to Quatre's mansion at about 4 A.M.), Wufei had given Duo two sleeping pills to add on to his already heavy sleeping, so that was practically guaranteed to keep him out for at least the next three hours, enough time to put his plan into action. Wufei knew that although there were two sleeping person out for at least eight hours, this was Duo, who hardly slept without a reason to because of his hyperness and endless energy, and when he did, Duo was still loud and wouldn't shut up. Wufei had a big grin on his face, thinking that he had finally found the perfect revenge.
After Duo had passed out, Wufei went to one of Quatre's
servants, requested a tight swimming cap, some toupee tape, and a wig in a
brown that matched Duo's after getting a small sample of hair that was braided
in the same length as the great Shinigami's. Wufei received these items, and
went back into the room, locking the door. He placed Duo in a chair, put all his
hair evenly in the swimming cap, put the toupee tape on the swimming cap, then
placed the wig on Duo's head. The wig was placed on perfectly, looking exactly
like his real hair. Wufei then got his katana, chopped off the braid, and
placed the braid right where it would look like Duo still had his braid. Wufei
then crept back to his position on the floor, trying to fall asleep.
About four hours later (A.N.: It is four hours from plan time, as in it is
about nine in the morning.), Quatre's servants went through the halls to call
on breakfast. Wufei woke up with a huge grin (A.N.: In Wufei's terms, a
satisfied smirk.) on his face. He got dressed in the clothes that were provided
by the servants, and went downstairs.
When Quatre's servants came back to wake Duo, all they had to do was say the word "food" and he was up in a matter of nanoseconds. When he rose to a sitting position on the bed, Duo stretched and yawned, getting his morning exercises in. He got up form the bed and immediately went down to the kitchen without a second glance back into the room. When he got to the kitchen, everyone was already there, with the exception of Usagi. She hadn't quite yet gone home because when she asked to, Quatre of course insisted that she first eat breakfast, and after hearing Dr. M's voice in her head about her mission of having a normal life, although she still didn't know how it got there, Usagi had decided to stay. She had gone to her room to gather her clothes, with explained her absence. Duo headed straight for the table, where he saw the shocked faces of Hilde, Sally, Catherine, Michiru, Haruka, Quatre, Relena, the cocked eyebrow from Trowa, a smirk from Wufei, and an uncaring, as usual, face of Heero.
"What?" asked Duo with a mouthful of pancakes.
"Y-y-y-y-y," stammered Hilde, but nothing seemed to come
out.
"Um…Duo…I don't know how to tell you this, but…" Sally never
finished her sentence.
"Uh…I…uh…uh…I…" stuttered Catherine.
Usagi then chose that time to enter the room.
"I would kill to be the one who did that," Usagi said with a smirk.
"What are all you talking about?" Duo asked, only this time with a mouthful of waffles.
"Well, let's see. You don't seem to find your head any lighter than before?" asked Relena, while at the same time shooting a glare in Usagi's way.
"Well, I thought I felt a little lightheaded, but I call that from lack of sleep," Duo said while shoveling bacon into his mouth.
"Or a lack of a braid," Usagi commented.
"What do you mean a 'lack of a brain'? Are you saying that I'm dumb?" Duo asked, eying his sausages,
"Considering that you can't even feel the fact that you're missing your braid, I would say, yes."
"What do you mean? I have my-" Duo stopped as he reached behind him, and all he found was hair only a little longer than Heero's.
"Oh. My. Shinigami." Duo's eyes widen as he sat there feeling his head and what hair he had left. He dashed to the bathroom to see if it was real. Wufei sat there, staring at his watch.
"Three, two, one." Just as Wufei finished saying 'one', there was a very high-pitched shriek from the bathroom, echoing all the way to the dining room. When Wufei heard the scream, he had a smirk of satisfaction on his face.
Duo ran back to the dining room in tears.
"My braid is missing!" Duo cried. No one knew how to respond, well, they did, but they didn't really want to laugh in Duo's face right now during his emotional crisis, so they just sat in their chairs holding back smiles.
"Who did it?!? Tell me NOW!" Duo screamed.
"Shut up. I'm trying to eat," Usagi said without even looking up.
"You did it, didn't you? I outta…" Duo didn't even get to finish his sentence.
Usagi took out her gun and pointed to right between his eyes with a perfect shot.
"Omae o korosu. Shut up. I didn't do it, but I'd be glad
to blow off some more." Usagi then shot the gun.
Duo ducked to block the shot, but Usagi had calculated that
happening, so as Duo ducked, the bullet cut off about another inch of his
hacked hair. Of course, it was hard to miss another inch of your hair falling
to the ground next to you, so Duo's eyes widen to the size of saucers.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled. At that point, Duo cracked. He crawled beneath the table, put his knees to his chest, started rocking and telling himself words of encouragement while crying. Almost everyone at the table just looked at each other with either confused faces, I-don't-give-damn faces, and I'll-explain-later faces. Wufei was very much enjoying the sweet taste of revenge, and he was wondering how long he could keep this up. 'I wonder if that toupee tape was waterproof. If it was, this could go on forever.' Another smirk graced the features of Wufei's face.
After breakfast, everyone headed their separate ways. Usagi was in a hurry to get to the dorms because she had never been separated from her laptop for such a long period of time. Heero was right behind her, wanting to reach his laptop as well. As the two started running towards the dorms, Quatre started yelling from his front door.
"What are you guys doing? I'll give you a ride in one of my limos! Come back here!"
'Guys?' Usagi and Heero thought simultaneously. Usagi then turned around, seeing Heero coming out of the shadows. Heero looked forward, and recognized Usagi as she turned around. They both changed direction and ran back towards the mansion.
"Good, now as a proper host, I'm going to lend you a car. Choose one," Quatre said with a smile as he opened a garage of cars. There were the most beautiful cars that anyone had ever seen. (A.N.: Anyone who has ever seen Gone in Sixty Seconds will understand what I mean by garage of beautiful cars. Think about the first part of the boost, and the garage full of Ferraris, etc.) Usagi and Heero looked, both unfazed by the site. Usagi chose a red Ferrari, with Heero sitting in the passenger seat while Usagi was in the driver's seat. 'Always was a sucker for a redhead,' Usagi thought as she started the engine. (A.N.: I know, I know, but I love that movie, and I think I'll make a funny parody on it. What the hell…I'll get started on it right now and leave you guys in the dust for this fic. Just kidding!)
The two drove back to the dorms, each basically racing to get there first so that they can get their hands on their laptops. Usagi had her new Playstation 201/laptop with her. Heero got there first, so he did the scan test. As soon as the two got into the dorms, they ran to the bedroom where their laptops were cleverly hidden.
Usagi had gotten her laptop and opened it to her mail account. 'You have one new message.' Usagi quickly opened it and read it. 'Usagi, I wanted to inform you that we have found out that Treize will be on one of the colonies very soon. We have proceeded to find out what he is doing there, why he is there, what new mobile doll plans they have, etc. So far, we have only answered one of the questions of which I am not permitted to tell you. You will probably be contacted in the next week on all the details. I'll write soon. Dr. M. This message will delete itself in 3, 2, 1 There was a beeping sound indicating that the message was gone. Usagi had long ago finished her mythology book, and considering that she had nothing else better to do, She started hacking.
Heero had retrieved his laptop and fought the urge to hug it. He opened his account at jpnmail.com and checked his messages. 'You have fifty-eight new messages? What the hell is this?' Heero opened his inbox to see that Relena had once again found out his e-mail from kami knows where and had sent him fifty-seven of them. One caught his eye, which was from Dr. J. After deleting the first fifty-seven, Heero finally opened the one from J. '01, I wanted to inform you that we have found out that Treize will be on one of the colonies very soon. We have proceeded to find out what he is doing there, why he is there, what new mobile doll plans they have, etc. So far, we have only answered one of the questions of which I am not permitted to tell you. You will probably be contacted in the next week on all the details. I'll write soon. Dr. J. This message will delete itself in 3, 2, 1 There was a beeping sound indicating that the message was gone. (A.N.: I know, it's exactly the same thing because I'm not in the mood to write another letter of the same concept in different words.) He then changed his e-mail address, and e-mailed Usagi and Dr. J of the change. 'Relena Peace-bitch has once again found out my e-mail address so I've changed it, again. The new one is omaeokorosu@asianavenue.com. Do not send to soldier1@jpnmail.com because I will not be deleting the account so that Relena does not suspect I have changed the address.' Heero inwardly sighed at how many times he had changed his damn e-mail address because of Relena. Of course he changed it often for security protection, but about five times a week was just too much! Heero inwardly sighed. He had to find a plan to get Relena off his back.
'Think Yuy, after all, you are the perfect soldier. Now what to do…hmm…got any ideas? Oh, so now you call on me. Right when you need to get that ugly, crazy, obsessive stalker off your back? Well, she's on your back too. True, very true. Now, what to do…hey, maybe you can go out with perfect soldier number two over there. Hell no! Yeah, what am I supposed to say, I need your help…stop right there, Heero Yuy does not need help. Whatever. What are we going to do about Relena? Beats me. I've been trying to get her off my back for the last, what, two years? Yeah, I noticed after searching through your memory files. Not a bad life if I do say so myself, although I think you could've had a little more of me. You know, you're not supposed to be here. I'm not allowed to have emotions, feelings, anything involving humanity, which is basically you. Be quiet. Now, back to the plan. What are we seriously going to do? I don't think that Relena will give up without a fight. Nah, you think? Shut up. I have a plan. I want you to go to class and ditch her in the halls. Brilliant, ne? Now I know why Dr. J told me to get rid of you. You're a complete idiot, probably worse than Maxwell. Hey, Duo is not an idiot. He may be a little slow, but he's not stupid. Are you really me? I don't understand how someone that belongs inside the mind of Maxwell is in my mind. Listen up, Yuy. We are going to ditch Relena no matter what. Even if you have to hide in your dorm for the rest of your life. How, may I ask, are we going to do this? I don't know, but when I think of something, I'll call you. Look, I gotta go. I'm tired, and I think that showing up is taking a lot of energy from me, okay. Ja. uh, bye?' Heero once again inwardly sighed. There was no way that that baka was going to come up with a plan to get rid of Relena. Heero had been hacking this whole time to get his mind going on about a plan to get rid of Relena. It wasn't working.
Usagi had been sitting there getting bored. Hacking was fun, but she really wasn't in the mood for it right now. 'I can't believe it. After all these years, and he probably still doesn't know. I'm curious though. Why the hell would someone do something like that? Oh kami, my head is starting to hurt. I can't believe myself. I am a disgrace. How am I going to do it? I need a drink. Should I invite Heero? What the hell, one drink isn't going to hurt.' (A.N.: Okay, peeps, remember, when Heero or Usagi talk, they are speaking in monotone. I prefer to not write it a million times like in my first few chapters. Also, please keep in mind that the legal drinking age in my story, and I stress the my, is sixteen.)
"Hey Heero, you want to go get a drink?" Usagi asked.
Heero was a little stunned.
"What?"
"A drink. I'm going down to the bar. Do you want to go get drunk with me? I'm getting a headache from sitting here and thinking. Now do you want to come or not?"
"What the hell," Heero replied. Both grabbed their coats, and walked to the bar, knowing that they would get too drunk to drive.
As the two entered the bar, the two almost ran into a group of fighting guys. Heero and Usagi ignored them and proceeded to order some drinks.
"I'll have eight shots, four Canadian, four South of the Border, six pack MGD, and double blended back. (A.N.: Do you know how helpful the closed caption is while watching Coyote Ugly and all the people are ordering drinks like the one listed here? This is exactly what that one guy ordered.)"
"You really know your alcohol, don't you?" asked Heero.
"Yeah, well, I'm addicted or anything, I just drink every once in a while. Want a shot?" Usagi asked as she handed him a few shots. For the rest of the night, the two spent a hundred dollars on drinks, give or take a few dollars. They were so wasted, it wasn't even funny. The two attempted to walk back to the dorms, but they just could not see. Heero called Quatre, surprising himself with the fact that he actually remembered the number and saw the numbers. Quatre came by the bar worried, and drove the two back to the dorms.
"Hey, open the door," Usagi said with a laugh.
"No, you!" Heero said.
"Listen, I can hardly open my eyes, let alone see. Open it,
please?" Usagi asked with a puppy dog face.
"Fine." Heero opened the door, with Usagi running in first. Heero went in after locking the door, and as he entered the room, a pillow was thrown at him, and Usagi's laugh could be heard. Heero went to get revenge, so after catching her, started tickling her. Let's just say that tickling leads to other things when you're drunk as fuck. (A.N.: Okay, insert lemon here. Yes, I've noticed that drinking is the only way the two seem to be doing anything romantic, so let's just say that extreme drinking will lead to other things. By the way, I am not going to attempt to write a lemon because one, I would feel weird if I succeeded, and two, I would feel weird if I didn't succeed knowing that I even attempted it.)
The morning rays of the sun landed on Usagi's eyes,
making her turn to the other side, cuddling into the warmth next to her. 'What
the fuck?' Usagi wondered as she felt the warmth. She opened her eyes and
reached under her pillow.
Heero had also felt the rays of the morning sun in his eyes, but as he was
about to turn, he felt something cuddling next to him. He gave in for about a
second before consciousness came to our perfect soldier. He opened his eyes,
and saw the opened blue eyes of Usagi. He immediately reached under his pillow
at the same time as Usagi.
Both pulled out guns and pointed them right in between the eyes of the other.
"Omae o korosu," they said simultaneously.
Author's notes: I am EVIL! I am QUEEN OF CLIFFHANGERS! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Please review me, even if it's a flame. I don't care! By the way, I'm sorry about last time and the whole "This author is taking reviews only from other fanfiction authors." It was because they were basically forcing us to take an "optional" survey, and if you didn't, then other people that weren't authors couldn't reveiw. Well, I'm gonna go now and write more of my fic. Maybe. Ja!
