Usagi woke up early the next morning. She climbed out of bed and walked to her window.
She looked out into the sky and a small frown formed on her face.
White flakes slowly floated to the ground falling past the window.
Usagi pressed her hands against the glass and moved closer to see.
The ground was covered in white flakes.
Usagi spun around and raced towards the door. She threw it open and came out in a rush.
The maids gave her an odd look and Usagi asked, "What is happening? What is that white stuff falling?"
The maid down the hall blurted out, "Snow..."
Usagi's eyes lit up, like the forth of July, "it's so beautiful."
She then moved to the training room door and went inside.
"It's snowing...yea."
"Duh."
Usagi looked up startled to see two men in the training room.
They were both dressed up in white suits. They both held swords, and helmets over their head.
Usagi frowned her eyes moving to one person then to the next, "Why are you in here?"
The one on the right stated, "We're fencing. Did you sleep in those clothes?"
Usagi looked down to see she still wore the uniform.
"Yeah so. I guess I was too tired to get undressed."
The one on the right pulled off his helmet and Usagi was surprised to see Wufei.
"Why don't you leave onna so Yui and I can get back to fencing."
Hiiro pulled off his helmet as well and tucked it under his arm.
Usagi looked from one to the other, "Can I try? I've never fenced before."
Hiiro looked at Wufei, and nodded.
Wufei frowned but backed away.
"There are suits in the locker room. While you change we can finish."
Usagi nodded and hurried to the door on the left and went inside.
There were suits hanging up on the wall. She grabbed one and threw off her uniform. Quickly she dressed and grabbed her helmet and fencing sword.
She was back out in the training room, it ten minutes.
Wufei was against the wall his arms crossed as he waited.
"Took you long enough."
Usagi frowned, "I had to take off the uniform."
Usagi pulled her helmet on and faced Hiiro.
Hiiro bowed and Usagi did as well.
He came at her his sword held tightly in his hand.
He thrusted the sword and Usagi dodged. She swung her blade at his torso but he moved back with ease.
He lashed out at her and Usagi met him with her blade and they clashed together.
Hiiro stated, "Not bad."
Usagi nodded and came up and around. She slid the right sliding her feet on the hard ground.
She plunged her weapon forward. Hiiro's head rolled to the right as the blade sliced through his suit scratching his neck.
A small smile formed on his face as Usagi withdrew her blade. He rolled his head back up again.
"You're not bad at all."
Usagi nodded but Hiiro came at her his word swinging around. Usagi dodged and some times met his sword with hers.
The clashed together, creating sparks in the air.
Hiiro forced her to move her sword up above her head and he pushed against her.
Usagi's feet slid against the tiles, and she tried to push back.
Suddenly Hiiro pulled back only before he swung his sword and knocking her out of her hand.
His shoulder rammed into her stomach and Usagi grunted.
But the force from his body hitting hers sent her air borne. She hit the window behind her and it broke from her weight.
Usagi screamed as she fell from the second story.
Wufei jumped to his feet, "what the hell!"
Hiiro stared at the broken window as if nothing happened.
Wufei came up to his side, "what the hell was that for Hiiro. Yeah sure she's weak and an onna, but did you have to push her out the window!"
Hiiro shrugged, "there's a swimming pool, she'll be ok."
Wufei glared at the pilot, "I think you forgotten Hiiro, but it's below 30 degrees out there. And that means if she hits the water, she's going to get hypothermia and may die."
Hiiro stopped from his walk to the door.
"Isn't that killing an innocent?"
Hiiro clenched his fists tight before he threw down in helmet and sword and ran out the door.
Usagi hit the water and was sucked down into the cold dark depth.
Her eye widen when she saw the walking leaking into her helmet. She looked around frantically.
She started to kick and thrust her arms around trying to find a way out.
She didn't know what to do, and soon her helmet would be filled with water.
She wouldn't be able to breath; she would die before she could figure out her reason for being here.
Usagi inhaled sharply as the water filled the helmet, she could keep her eyes open but that was it.
She tried kicking her way up but the surface looked to far away. The cold was biting her skin and it stung. Her legs and arms were numb.
She thrashed around she had to get out or she was going to die.
Usagi wanted the cry but the water was hurting her eyes and she hut them.
Her lungs burned wanting air, it hurt. Her chest was aching and her heart slammed against her rib cage wildly, and tamed.
Unable to hold her breath, Usagi's mouth open and everything went dark.
Hiiro ran as fast as his legs would take him to the pool. The cold air bit at his skin but he ignored it.
Usagi hadn't come out yet and so far a minute had gone by.
He looked down to see her thrashing around trying to get to the surface.
'She can't swim.'
He felt the color drain from his face and the coldness didn't hurt anymore. This was his entire fault.
Hiiro saw as bubble floated to the surface.
He didn't give a second thought as he dove in.
He swam down to the bottom of the pool, which was twelve feet.
Usagi wasn't moving and he feared the worst.
Hiiro wrapped one arm around her waist tightly and looked up to the surface.
With one arm and both legs he swam to the surface.
Once he brake through he gulped in air and waded to the edge where he pushed her up to the land and climbed out of the water.
Hiiro grabbed the helmet and pulled. Water drained away and Hiiro saw her pale face her lips blue.
He shook his head. He leaned down and pressed his mouth to hers while tilting her chin up and squeezing her nose. He breathed out came up breathed in then came down and breath out into her mouth.
After four times he moved back placed his hands in the right spot and pressed down the relaxed, and repeated fifteen times.
He cheeked for a pulse and found a pulse but she was breathing.
Hiiro cover her mouth with his and breathed.
He backed up and she coughed and spluttered water coming out of her lungs.
She was breathing, her chest rose and fell on her own but she was unconscious.
Hiiro rested his arms on her chest and let his head fall onto his arms. He sighed.
He had never felt so scared.
Hiiro pulled his head up and looked into the water.
It was dark and cold looking. He then realized they were both shivering.
It was a long way to the front door.
Hiiro stood to his feet and lifted Usagi up and carried her to the small shack nearby.
He easily opened the door and entered. He shut the door behind him and laid Usagi down on the ground.
He looked around and saw wood stacked up against the wall.
He took an arm fall and grabbed a can of diesel.
He dropped the wood on the floor and poured a little diesel onto it. Then he put the can back. He went to a shelf and grabbed a box of matches. He moved back to the wood and lit one and put it to the wood. The liquid caught fire and the wood crackled.
Hiiro sighed and looked down at Usagi.
She was still shivering. He dropped down to the ground and pulled Usagi closer to the fire.
He frowned how was he going to get her warm.
He looked around and spotted an old green blanket folded up on the floor in the far corner.
He got up, and then moved to the corner, he snatched the blanket up and moved back to Usagi's side.
He knelt down next to her frowned. The suit was wet, he needed to get it off, but...
Hiiro frowned.
Her lips were still blue and that wasn't a good sign.
He sighed and chose to close his eyes when he took the suit off.
He shut his eyes, after he found the zipper and then he slid it down.
He peeled the suit off the sleeves and easily slid it down her body and tossed it to the far side of the wall.
He then grabbed the blanket and tossed it on top of her.
Hiiro then opened his eyes.
He did it.
He looked her over, then lifted her upper body up and wrapped the blanket tightly around her and then lifted her up and pulled her into his lap.
Her body was still trembling but he just pulled her closer and let her take his warmth.
Hiiro stared into the fire that still crackled he had did this; he pushed her into the water and nearly killed her.
He sighed, he had been doing that a lot today.
Well it wasn't his fault. 'The onna shouldn't have gotten herself into this mess. And Ralena was a bitch to except her.'
Usagi moaned in her sleep then whispered, "Must protect...have to help them..."
Hiiro frowned as he glanced down at her.
She wasn't getting any better fast, but it was helping a bit.
Hiiro stood and moved to the door, Usagi still in his arms.
He pushed the door open and a harsh gust of wind blew out the fire.
Hiiro gritted his teeth and stepped out into the cold.
He ran to the front where Wufei, and Duo stood staring out into the storm.
Duo pointed at them when he saw them and moved to the side as Hiiro staggered into the entrance hall.
He shook his head and snow and water fell off.
Maid rushed up towards him and Usagi.
Noin, and Ralena were with them.
"What happened?"
Hiiro frowned and jerked away. He pushed passed them and started towards the stairs.
"Hiiro, you need to get out of those clothes or you'll get hypothermia."
Hiiro grunted as he started up the stairs.
"She comes first."
Hiiro made it to Usagi's room and entered. He laid her down on the bed and pulled the blankets back.
She was gaining some color back.
Hiiro pulled all of the blankets over her body and tucked her in tight.
He then went to the door and shut it.
Then he moved to the heater and turned the temperature up to 90 degrees.
He sighed once more and rubbed his arms, now feeling how cold and wet he was.
He unzipped his suit and slid out of it. His clothes underneath were wet but not as much.
He moved back to the bed and sat down. He pivoted himself so he could see her. She was still unconscious, but at least she was alive.
She looked out into the sky and a small frown formed on her face.
White flakes slowly floated to the ground falling past the window.
Usagi pressed her hands against the glass and moved closer to see.
The ground was covered in white flakes.
Usagi spun around and raced towards the door. She threw it open and came out in a rush.
