The Common Denominator
Chapter Three- The Calling
By- Akira Maxwell
Authors Notes- I am Miko of da Shinigami. But I am also Akira Maxwell. This new fanfiction is quite a change from my usual style of writing, but it will always have a certain style that labels it- Miko's. Due to the change, however, I am going to post it under my new pen name, Akira Maxwell, who is also a key character in this story. I hope you all enjoy this and check out my sequel to Passing Destinies!!! (posted under Miko of da Shinigami!) And this uses the Japanese names…if you don't know them…ummmm…learn them real fast…^-^

(a/n-______) Akira's Notes
Scouts and Duo are 18ish…
Hotaru is 16
Setsuna- about 22 (looks) but is really, really old
Disclaimer- don't own gundam wing or sailor moon. Akira is mine, although with permission you may borrow her. The plot is mine, steal it and you have a date with your maker. Sorry, that was Duo's line. I guess those 4 tapes of episodes I watched this morning rubbed off. -_-0

Hotaru sat in her room, the one lamp she turned on not luminating only a small portion, but the computer luminating Hotaru's violet eyes.
"Who are you really, Duo?" she asked herself, not expecting an answer, which is why she nearly jumped out of her skin when she got on.
"Why don't you just ask me," Duo said from behind her.
"DUO!" she shouted, jumping up and turning to face the intruder. "Never, NEVER come into my room without knocking. Screw knocking…JUST STAY OUT!" she added, blushing awkwardly because she wasn't used to yelling at people, "I could have been getting changed…or something."
"That's what I was hoping," Duo said, winking.
"Baka," Hotaru murmured.
"Don't you wanna know who I am?" Duo asked, grinning.
"I'm busy Duo," Hotaru said, pointing to the door. "Is there something you wanted to tell me or are you just here to bug me."
"Dinner," Duo said, running into the hallway and jumping down the stairs three at a time with Hotaru right behind him. After all being late for dinner with Duo meant being very, very hungry until breakfast.

Pluto watched the two race down the stairs.
"He found her," she said to herself. "They know. They push away and pull closer. If they meet who knows what could happen to these dimensions. She opened another window into the Shinigami's old world. There she saw a boy of about 18. Handsome with sharp face and messy hair. His eyes were cold though. They had gotten colder since she last saw him, and he had become more of a recluse. 'He blames himself,' she thought. 'But there was nothing he could have done. This was how Akira-sama wanted it. She knew it must happen, and maybe she was right. Maybe the problem would fix itself. But maybe it will destroy us all. They darkness wasn't destroyed. It's coming back. And it will kill us all. Heero Yuy, please save my world.'

Heero tossed and turned in his sleep, dreams haunted by visions of her world. Two figures hidden in the shadows, long dark hair and cold black eyes. And the other. A scythe, long brown hair, a braid. Duo?
'No,' Heero thought to himself. 'No, Heero. Duo is dead. You let it happen.'
Then a voice. A beautiful voice and I vision. A Goddess. Doorways to different worlds. And the key.
'Heero Yuy, please save my world.'
Heero woke up to see his room being lit by a strange glow. Maroon and Green shimmers began to take the form of a human.
She opened her eyes revealing dark red orbs holding many years of pain. And loneliness.
Heero didn't even reach for his gun.
"Heero Yuy," she said in a voice so beautiful Heero yearned for her to speak again. "Would you give up this life to save your friend, and my world. This is you're calling, and only you can answer."
Heero just stuck his hand out to her. "Take me there."

Hotaru watched Duo inhale his meatloaf and swipe some off Haruka's plate when she wasn't looking. It had been like that ever since Duo moved in until the semester. Hotaru usually stayed away from him, ever since that day at the park. There way something about his touch. The way his skin touched hers. She was afraid of him, and he knew it. The worst part was that she loved him.
Hotaru went out to the back of the house, sitting on the very edge of the cliff on which she lived. Haruka hated it when she sat there, but it was the only place where Hotaru could think.
"Hey," said a voice so close Hotaru could feel the breath on her neck. Duo could see her stiffed and grab the rocks beneath her.
"I'm not going to push you off," Duo said, sitting next to her. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk."
"I don't," Hotaru said, shifting to look into his eyes. A big mistake. Hotaru felt like she was being sucked in, her whole body went numb as she just looked at him. The way his cobalt blue eyes held so much sadness and pain, it made her want to cry.
"Don't you want to know who I am?" Duo asked.
"No," Hotaru said, resting her shoulder on his head.
::I'm going to stop this chapter here because I am taking a moment of silence not for the victims, but for the families of the victims, who suffer the most pain. I hope that if any of you lost someone you love, you know that although this tragedy is tearing us apart, it's bringing us, as citizens of America together. Be strong.::
