Heero approached the guard as quietly as a still night. All of them were the same, never even expecting what was about to happen to them. One quick hit to the side of his neck and the guard was down for the count. Heero took his gun for his own and continued on. He was on a mission; he never failed a mission. Failure was the same as death in his eyes.

This contract was one of the biggest he had signed in a long time. All he had to do was kill Juno. Juno was a man with an extremely secret dirty background. He was working his way up in the politicall world in the most deceitful ways. If he made his way up high enough, or gained enough followers there was no telling what he would do. Many people wanted him dead but only one guy had had enough balls to hire an assasin. An assasin by the name of Heero Yuy. The best damn assasin that money could buy.

Heero made his way down a long corridor, gun extended not making even the slightest of noise. This was going to be a quick job. Having done his homework, Heero knew Juno only traveled around with four guards. He had just taken care of number one so only three to go and the main target.

As Heero reached a corner he knew that two more of the guards would be just around it, standing in front of the door that was his destination. Re-checking that his silencer was securely placed on his gun, Heero emerged around the bend and shot two precise shots taking out each guard before they even saw him coming. They weren't dead, just taking a long nap, they weren't his targets and Heero didn't belive in killing non-targets unless it was absolutely neccessary.

Pushing his ear against the door, Heero could make out where the remaining two were located. By voice he located the target, and then the guard. Heero broke in the door with his foot both, guns extened. The guard's gun to his left and the silencer one to his right. He pulled both triggers simultaneously. Juno fell to the ground immediately blood dripping out of the hole in the middle of his forehead. But the guard seemed almost unaffected by the tranquilizer which hit him. Perhaps it was because of his mamoth size. They contained enough juice to knock out a human but not one close to the size of a baby elephant. The well trained guard pulled his own gun, even after receiving another tranquilizer from Heero and shot.

Heero quickly turned trying to avoid the bullet and shot the other gun at the guard at the same time. As the guard fell to the ground the same as Juno had, Heero fell to the ground, holding his side in agony. He'd been hit. Of course this wasn't the first time, but never in such a vital spot. Pushing the pain to the back of his mind, Heero rose to his feet and made his way to the front of the building.

Once in the car he used only for missions, he ripped his shirt off. He pulled a bandage out of the backseat where he kept all his 'just in case' stuff and wrapped up the wound as best he could to try to stop the bleeding. He drove back to his place which seemed like an eternity to reach. He was becoming tired from the bloodloss and the pain was brutal even for him. He knew once inside he'd be able to call someone he knew he could at least halfly trusy, to help him. No one would ever be worthy of Heero's full trust, thats just how things worked in his life. Heero reached his door and stopped to catch his breath, he was beggining to realize the sad truth, he himself didn't even believe he would survive through this one. A hospital could probably help, but they were way too risky for someone like him.

Heero edged his way toward the telephone, sweat was pouring down his face. Blood had seeped through all the layers of bandaging and was pouring through his fingers which gripped his side. He was about ten feet away from the phone and collapsed. He felt all the pain leave his body and his eyes became to heavy for even him to hold open.

When Heero opened his eyes again he was standing in the middle of eternal nothingness, white mist was everywhere, and his wound was completely healed.

"Where am I?" he asked his voice echoing.

"You are here, " a soothing and peaceful young woman's voice answered, although no one was in sight

"Where is here?"

"It is where you are."

Heero didn't appreciate such unhelpful answers, "Am I dead?'

"Do you wish to be dead?"

"Why can't you give me a staight answer?" he asked somewhat anoyed.

"Do you wish to be dead?" the voice again asked.

"No."

"Then you shall not die."

A white light flickered and enveloped Heero in warmness then out of the light emerged a beautiful woman. She had long flowing blonde hair and cerulean blue gleaming eyes, that pulled Heero to her. She wore a flowing white dress that glowed with warmness, and two wings, the most perfect wings possible, appeared behind her.

"Who are you?" he aked.

"I am an Angel, your Angel. It is not your time yet. Neither you nor I want you to die. So you shall not. You shal live."

"I have an Angel? Someone like me?"

"Everyone does, but everyone does not get to meet theirs. You are special. More then you realize. You touch those around you in specail ways. You have your whole future ahead of you and many more lives to touch. You have chosen to live on your emotions, continue to do that, for I know that it is the only way in which you know how to live. Just please, don't be so reckless. Life is fragile, and I know that the loss of you would not be easily taken by others. I will hope that we shall not meet again under such conditions as the ones that brought you to me now. But be assured we will meet again one day, remember me, I am Usagi."

With this said, Heero's Angel enveloped him in a hug which turned into a burst of light. Never had he felt so warm or cared for, or possibly even loved. Heero did not belive in God, therefore he never even gave a thought to Angels but now just maybe he might change his thoughts. He found himself waking up on the floor where he had collapsed. No longer was there any pain, and his wound was completely gone with no traces of one having ever been there. The phone was ringing. Heero picked himself up and answered it.

"Hey, Heero your still alive you lucky bastard. Well I've got another job for you. It's back here in Tokyo, what do you say?" a familiar voice asked.

Without hesitation and almost immediatly he responded, "Ninmu Byokai."

****

Heero entered the small cafe and joined Duo at their usual table. It had been a while since Duo needed a job done. He was now the member of a secret agency who hunted out the scum of the city, they usually took care of them, but every once in a while if there wasn't enough evidence, Duo would take matters into his own hands. Heero always helped, for the right price.

"Who is it?" Heero asked.

Duo slid a picture across the table, "Mamoru Chiba, this guy is crazy. He beleives that he will become king of Tokyo. He doesn't outwardly share this information with everyone though. For now he's working his way up in the world slowly, making a name for himself. When he truly trusts someone he tells them. Besides that, this guy is bad news; he has a wrap sheet a mile long. He's been charged with things like Fraud, Scamming, Imbessiling, Robbery, Sex Crimes, and possibly even Murder. Due to his current position and money though , none of this is outwardly known. It's really bad because people actually like this guy. And more are starting to..."

Duo stopped, noticing the somewhat shocked expression on Heero's face which was starring the picture.
"What's wrong Heero?"

Heero slid the picture toward Duo pointing to the girl hanging onto Mamoru's arm. She had flowing blonde hair styled in two odango's and cerulean blue eyes.

"Oh, her. That's his girlfriend, I think their engaged. She has no idea whats going on at all. It's really sad, she's quite a looker."

"Do you know her name?" Heero asked quietly.

" Her name? You interested, Heero? You think your gonna blow away her boyfriend and the sweep her of her feet?"

"Do you know her name?" Heero repeated.

"Yeah, it was..Usagi, yeah thats it, Usagi."

Heero's eyes widened, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, pretty sure."

Heero took the picture and put it in his pocket. He then stood to leave.

"Wait, I haven't given you any details yet."

"Some other time, I need to go somewhere, you know how to contact me."

Heero left the resturant and headed to his car. He needed to make a visit to an old friend by the name of Quatre.
