Record of New Beginings
Chapter Ten



"Heero." Queen Serenity called once everyone else had exited. "What is your true purpose for
beining here."
"What do you mean?" Heero asked.
"Despite the ramblings of the Northland creature, I do not believe you are on their side. So
I'll ask again. What is your true purpose for being here?" Heero looked at the elven queen. Her
beauty did not fade with her age however, the wisdom of years reflected bodly in her eyes.
Quickly, Heero looked away. What would he tell the queen? Would she believe his reason for
beining there? Would she believe he was going to help Usagi defeat the Northland army? Heero's
thoughts filled with images of the happy-go-lucky princess.
"I'm not sure I can answer your question your highness." Heero replied.
"Heero, I am fully aware of the legend behind my daughter's gift as Cosmos....what I really
want to know is, are you the Chosen one?"

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

"So, Relena was killed hu?"
"Yes my Lord."
"And the boy?"
"We have reason to believe he is the Chosen....he will not join us." A dark creature hissed to
the man shrouded in shadows.
"Very well. If he will not join us....he will die." A cruel laughter echoed throughout the
vast, empty room. The slouched creature nodded and left his master. The man then left his place
in the shadows and stood next to the placid pool once again. The water slowly started to ripple
and a scene appeared. Heero and Serenity stood in the throne room, deep in conversation.
"Enjoy your time alive boy," The Youma OO sneered. "it'll be brief."

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

"Whats taking so long?!" Usagi wined.
"It's only been a couple of minutes!" Rei rolled her eyes.
"But a couple of minutes can mean alot." Trowa stated as he leaned against the wall.
"Bartons right. We don't have time for this." Wufei huphed as he glared at the closed door.
"I wouldn't worry." Hotaru smiled. "Serenity and Heero both need this." Suddenly the doors
opened and Serenity and Heero emerged. Everyone looked at them expectingly.
"Captain." Serenity said as she turned toward one of the elven guards. "Gather your men and
prepare to defend against an attack from the Northland." The Captain bowed and left to gather
his men. "Quatre, I want you and Trowa to go to the dwarf kingdom near here. Once Quatre is there
Trowa, you return to the kingdom, we'll need you. Quatre, you stay with the dwarves and help them
fight, try to get them to come as soon as possible. You leave tonight. It won't be long before
the sun rises, so travel quickly." Quatre and Trowa nodded and went to gather some things for
their journey. "The rest of you need to get some rest, you'll need your energy." Serenity said,
then turned to leave. She then paused, and placed her hand on Heero's shoulder. "I trust in her
Heero, she won't let you down." Serenity smiled, then went into the throne room. Heero turned to
her, and a smile crossed his face. Hotaru watched the transaction, then followed Serenity into
the throne room, shutting the grand doors behind them. Heero turned around to meet seven
expecting faces.

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

"How would you like the boy killed?" A hooded figure asked. The Youma OO looked at the figure
before him. Cloaked in cloth as dark as night, the only thing seen on the face was the glowing
red eyes. the appearance alone was enough to awaken fears in anyone however, what scared the
Youma OO the most was, this creature feared nothing and served only because he wanted to.
"I'll leave the method up to you Reaper. I trust you don't need anyone's help, afterall, this
will be an easy task for you." The Reaper's eyes flared as if in a wicked jesture of happy
acceptance of the job laid out before him. He was a killer, and it was what he did best.

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

"My mother knew about this?!" Usagi gasped as Heero told them about their conversation.
"I can't believe *your* Cosmos!" Rei exclaimed.
"The fact Usagi's Cosmos is unimportant, what is important is how Usagi's going to use her gift
to stop the Northland army." Ami cut in.
"Yeah Rei. I think its only fitting Usa-chan be Cosmos." Makoto grinned.
"I agree Makoto." Minako smiled. "But I also agree that we should get some rest. I wanna be at
my best when it comes time to fight!" Everyone nodded. Despite the recent news, they we're all
tired from the events. Duo and Wufei wandered off in the direction of their rooms while Makoto,
Ami, Rei, and Minako went to theirs. As Heero turned to follow the retreating forms of Duo and
Wufei, Usagi grabbed his wrist. Heero looked at the small princess. She had been trying to tell
him something all night, he just hoped it wasn't what he thought.
"Heero, I..."
"Go get some rest princess, you'll need it." Heero said, then turned and walked to his room.
Usagi frowned and went to her chambers.

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

"Serenity, we have to put extra protection around Heero. They can't do anything to Usa, but
they certainly can to Heero!" Hotaru pleaded.
"Do you think they will try something?"
"Relena was not sent here for no reason. If Heero won't join the Northland, they will kill
him." Hotaru replied. Serenity turned to a window and nodded.
"Ok Hotaru, I'll let you handle it."
"Me, your highness?!"
"I don't think I could trust anyone else with someone's life that is so important to my
daughter." Serenity smiled softly at her.
"Very well your highness." Hotaru smiled and bowed.
"Hotaru?"
"Yes?"
"Be sure to give Duo pretection to." Hotaru blushed deeply and exited the room. Serenity
laughed softly, then looked back out the window.

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

"We'er not gonna make it, are we?" Quatre asked.
"What do you mean?" Trowa questioned.
"By the time we reach the dwarves, the kingdom will be under attack." Trowa nodded in silent
agreement. Quatre frowned. The Moon Kingdom and the dwarves needed more time. The dwarves would
get there either just in time, or to late.
"Don't worry Quatre. The elves will be able to hold off the Northland army long enough." Quatre
nodded half-heartedly, and the two wandered on in silence.

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

The sun rose to great a foggy morning in the Moon Kingdom. The palace woke to a horrible sight
in the North. A darkness moved toward the South, and with it, the death of all who stood in it's
path. Usagi stepped out of her room in her traditional white dress. She silently made her way
past the other girls chambers. She could hear the them waking up and moving about. Usagi hurried
past their rooms as to avoid any questions as to where she was going. Finally, she reached her
destination. Hesitating slightly, she knocked on the door. A shuffle from inside let her know the
occupant was awake. Slowly the door opened and Duo walked out.
"Duo?" Usagi asked confused. "What are you doing in Heero's room?"(1)
"I came to check on Heero, but when I got here, he was gone." Duo stated nervously.
"Really?" Usagi asked as she went to move past Duo. Noticing this, Duo stepped infront of her.
"You can't go in there." Duo said.
"Why not?"
"Uh...well....the...the beds not made! Heero's a neat freak, he would be pretty upset if you
saw his unmade bed!"
"Duo." Usagi sighed and pushed past him. When she entered the room, it was empty. "The beds
made Duo."
"So it is! Guess I didn't really pay atten-" Duo was cut off as Usagi grabbed his shirt.
"Where is he Duo?"
"I don't know, honestly!" Usagi looked at him questionably, then sighed.
"Alright. However, Duo, if you see him....would you tell him I'd like to talk to him?"Usagi
asked.
"Sure thing princess." Duo smiled. Usagi smiled back and left the room. Once she was a good
distance down the hall, Duo shut the door and turned toward the window to see Heero climb back
into the room.(2) "What was that all about?!" Duo exclaimed as Heero stood up.
"Don't worry about it Duo."
"Don't worry about it?! Heero, you jumped out a window for God's sake! Not only that, but you
did it because of Usagi! What's going on?!"
"I told you not to worry about it." Heero sneered.
"Heero, it's pretty obvious how she feels about you, so why run?" Duo asked.
"I have my reasons." Heero answered. Duo rolled his eyes and opened the door.
"Hey Heero." Duo paused. "She wants to talk to you." He said, then walked out the room. Heero
sighed. Despite the fact that Usagi was Cosmos and he was the Chosen, they were still an elf and
a human. Even if he did help, he highly doughted the elves would accept him and he wouldn't let
Usagi risk her place as Queen for him. He had been alone before, he could learn to move on,
afterall Quatre's kingdom would have to be rebuilt, he could occupy his time with that.
"Once this battle is over, everything will return to normal. Usagi will move on.....she'll have
to."
