No More Drama
Snowflakes fell softly outside, spinning and twirling
in an eternal dance. They almost seemed to taunt the
young woman inside an apartment.
'Everything is so different now.' She thought numbly.
'Is it really Christmas already? Time just seems to
bled together now…'
A harsh wind crashed up against the apartment and the
girl shivered faintly pulling the blanket tighter
around her body. Slowly, her eyes wandered to a
mirror. An unfamiliar reflection stared back at her.
Brown eyes that had once shimmered with hidden
laughter stared back at her, seemingly dead and blonde
hair that had floated around her body like pale wings,
now fell onto honey coloured skin in a mass of
tangles.
She'd always hated winter, but for some reason…some
reason, this one was much worse.
'The coldness outside almost can match the numbness in
my heart.' A faint smile, filled with sorrow covered
her face for a brief moment, but it seemed unfamiliar,
and unwelcome on her features.
Blonde hair that had once glowed and shined
beautifully, now spilled down onto creamy honey
coloured skin in messy tangles. Brown eyes that had
once shimmered with hope and joy had lost their inner
fire.
A hand reached out to gently touch the cool surface of
the mirror.
'Is that really me? Have I really changed that much?
Was he really that much a part of me….'
The soft sound of footsteps reached the woman's ears
and they snapped her out of her inner thoughts.
"Tensei? The door was open, so I let myself in
and….kami….."
'Oh no…onegai, don't let her see me like
this….please….' Hastily, the woman named Tensei
struggled to wipe away her tears but a gentle hand on
her wrist stopped her.
Tensei looked up slowly. Her vision resting on the
bare hand that held fast onto her wrist. Tensei forced
a smile upon her face as she raised her face and came
eye to eye with her best friend, Musha.
"Tensei-chan? What….are you-"
"You're not wearing your ring." Tensei stated bluntly,
her voice as dead as her eyes.
The hand holding her wrist in that firm grip slowly
let go as the woman named Musha sat back on her heels.
"I just thought…" Musha shook her head, sending golden
curls flying out around her head. "Tensei, you have to
stop acting like this. He..he wouldn't want you to be
like this."
Silence spread between the two friends as brown eyes
slowly rose and studied the girl before her. Long
curly golden hair held in a loose ponytail fell into
eyes that still burned with an inner fire. Skin that
was slightly tanned was still covered with faint
scars, but not nearly as much as there had once been.
'She looks the same.' She thought quietly. 'Except for
her ponytail…it use to be a lot..
Tighter than that.' Tensei's snorted softly. 'Of
course it's looser. The wars over, she has no reason
to mourn, no reason to be sad, why should she keep her
hair like it was during the war.'
Violet eyes filled with concern. "Tensei, Onegai speak
with me. Quartre wouldn't want to see you-"
Tensei's head snapped up, her eyes no longer dead but
filled the fires of rage. "And how would you know what
he wanted Musha!? Tell me that!" Her voice trembled
with barely contained fury." How would you know?! They
didn't even find a damn body!"
"I was just trying to help!"
"Well don't!" Brown eyes narrowed in anger. "You have
everything Musha, you have no idea what the hell I'm
going through! So just stop trying to help!"
Silence once again spread as Musha wordlessly stood up
and headed for the door. Her golden sweater swaying
with her movements. "You know Tensei." Her voice came
out silvery soft from the door. "You two share a bond
that's so strong it can never be broken. Nothing can
shatter it. Not life, not death, nothing. You two will
find each other again."
The soft shutting of a door reached Tensei's ears as
Musha's words rang throughout her mind, never getting
louder or softer but, always there.
"Find each other again. Yeah right."
***
So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired
***
The biting cold wind pierced Tensei's coat but she
ignored it. She just didn't, care anymore. Her eyes
stared unseeing down to the earth below. She could do
it, it would be so easy…just take a little step and,
that would be it. The constant pain in her heart would
vanish forever more, never to return…never to come
back.
'It was here, that we first met.' Brown eyes opened
wide with surprise, where had that thought come from?
'But it's true isn't it?' She thought softly, casting
a glance behind her. Dust and cobwebs fell over the
half destroyed building, but it had been magnificent
in its day. The walls had seemingly gleamed with pride
and the floor had appeared to have a story to tell, a
story of two girls, who had met their soul mates in
this very building.
For this was an old military base, a place where five
years ago, a peace treaty signing had attempted to
take place.
But now, the once proud building was little more than
rubble, pieces of the grand walls falling down and the
floor caving in.
'This place was once so beautiful, but now it's lost
its purpose, like me.' She smiled darkly, and sat
down, allowing her feet to dangle off of one of the
few remaining beams that had once supported the
building. From where she sat, she had a bird's eye
view of the decaying building.
Her eyes flickered over to a hole in the ceiling and a
ghost of a smile graced her lips. 'It was there, right
there, that me and Musha had hidden until the enemy
had appeared, and it was there…' Her eyes skimmed over
to the ground directly below the hole. 'It was there
that I 'crashed' into Quartre.'
Her eyes darkened and her vision became slightly
blurry. Ironic, she'd thought that she'd had no more
tears left to shed. Why had she come here? She should
have known that it would have only brought her more
pain, reopen old wounds that would…iie, could never
heal.
'Gods, Quartre. Why? Why did you have to leave me? You
said that you'd come back, you promised! I hate you
Quartre, I hate you because you made me love you so
much, you became my hope, and now you're gone.'
A cool wind blew up over the edge of the roof and
struck Tensei, howling in the darkening sky. Taunting
her. Wordlessly, she stood up and all but ran from
the building, from the edge of the roof. Because she
couldn't be sure of what she would do if she remained
there alone, without hope.
***
Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine
***
Dreams seemed like the only escape now, the only place
where she could escape that hell that was her reality,
and go to blissful paradise.
Tensei stared at herself in the mirror, at the dark
bags under her eyes. An empty bottle of sleeping pills
lay discarded on the messy counter top.
"Quartre….why did you leave me….why…." Tears once
again began to fill her eyes but she didn't even
attempt to brush them away as she walked over to her
bed. She just didn't care anymore; she was too tired
both mentally and physically. Dead in life.
Lying bright against the blue sheets of her bed was a
torn and crinkled paper. It wasn't important, she'd
read it over so many times…she knew it by heart. Each
word would forever be burned into her memory.
'Maybe it's not true.' She reasoned quietly with
herself, trying to convince her spirit of something
that could never be. 'Maybe I miss read it, and if I
read it again….'
Delusions were beginning to set in, and as if guided
by some unseen force, her hand shot out and picked up
the paper, and began to read.

Quartre R Winner, former Gundam Pilot 04, has been
presumed dead. Quartre R Winner, heir to the Winner
Cooperation on
colony L4, former Gundam Pilot 04 of Gundam Sandrock,
and active member of the Preventers, is presumed dead
as of
November 31, AC 199. He, as well as several other
colony representatives were traveling back to the
earth aboard shuttle X32, when communications were
suddenly and swiftly
cut. The shuttle however, did land at L1 several hours
later. A civilian aboard the shuttle, when interviewed
said that several unknown Mobile suits had fired at
the shuttle. The pilot of the shuttle had lost
conscious after his head had connected with the
control panel after a particularly harsh explosion.
Quartre. R. Winner managed to pilot the shuttle to
safety aboard an abandoned resource satellite after
the pilot had passed out. Once aboard the satellite,
he apparently found an old out of date M.S. He boarded
it and went out into space to engage with the enemies,
and serve as a
distraction to the M.S. In the chaos of the
distraction, the terrorist M.S group failed to notice
just where the shuttle had landed. Confirmation
of an explosion where the M.S battle was taking place
was confirmed shortly afterwards. Quartre Winner never
returned to the shuttle aboard the satellite. The
pilot eventually regained conscious and took the
shuttle to the closet colony, L1. Quartre. R. Winner
is presumed dead and the entire human race mourns his
death. He died a hero in the heat of battle and will
be missed

What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more

"NO!" Rage burned throughout her and she threw the
paper, tears filled her eyes and sparkled to the
ground.
"It's true then." Her voice came out hoarse, and
barely above a whisper. "He's gone…he left me…he's
never coming back…and nothing, no one can change
that." With a sudden spark of fury, she threw back her
head and shouted her grief to the sky. "QUARTRE!
DAMNIT! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME! I HATE YOU FOR
IT! I HATE YOU!" The screams of rage were suddenly
rendered to nothing more than pitiful sobs.
She barely made it over to the bed before she
collapsed. She really shouldn't be taking so many
sleeping pills, the box said one per night….she was
taking five, but she was just too tired to care
anymore.
"I hate you Quartre, because you made me love you, and
then you left me. And now, I have nothing left…I'm
dead in life without you." Then, she surrendered to
the blissful darkness of sleep, where memories of her
past, and her soul mate, haunted her dreams.
*******
Tensei laughed softly, before throwing her arms out to
her sides and spinning around in pure joy. Everything
was perfect, everything.
"Hey, you know you're going to get dizzy if you keep
doing that Tensei-chan."
"Does it look like I care about that!" She laughed
softly, but stopped spinning never the less, her eyes
sparkling with joy. "It's over Musha-chan, it's really
over. All the fighting, all the bloodshed. We're free,
free to live our lives, free to find happiness,
free…free…"
"To find love ne?"
Tensei looked at her friend in near astonishment.
Musha never said things like that, she was to…well,
and it just wasn't her personality.
"Musha…nani! Why did you say something so…so…un-
Musha-like?"
Her friend just shut her eyes and shook her head, a
faint smirk upon her lips. "It's Christmas
Tensei-chan, I can be a little out of character ne?
After all." She looked up, her own violet eyes
twinkling with delight. "The wars over. And who knows
what the New Year will bring."
Tensei raised an eyebrow at Musha's tone. "And what,
pray tell, do you mean by that Musha?" Realization
dawned in Tensei's deep brown eyes. "What are you
hiding?!"
She smiled mysteriously, before turning and waving
over her shoulder as she walked away. Her golden hair
swaying behind her " What would ever make you think
I'm hiding something Tensei? Ja!"
"Hey! Come back here!" She took off in the direction
that Musha had gone in, dodging swaying bodies and
struggling not to give into the temptation of the
music. "Geez…when Hilde throws a Christmas party…she
doesn't kid around! Itai!"
The boy who had bumped into Tensei turned around
quickly, hitting several people in the process with
his incredibly long braid. "Tensei! I didn't see you
there!"
"No, obviously not." She muttered, rubbing her head.
"Hey! Come on! You're not mad at me are ya?" Laughing
indigo eyes met with Tensei's. "I mean, I'm Duo
Maxwell, I run I hide but I never tell a lie! So you
know I mean it when I say I'm sorry right?"
A sly smile spread across Tensei's face and she turned
around so she wasn't facing Duo. "I don't know Duo.
You really may have gone to far this time…."
The boy's, Duo's eyes widened faintly. "Hey, I was
just joking Tensei! Come on, forgive you're old pal
Duo ne?" He rested a hand on Tensei's shoulder;
slightly worried that he had really offended her now.
Tensei bit down on her tongue, in a desperate attempt
to stifle her laughter. "Well, I don't know Duo…why
exactly should I forgive you?"
"Well, I'm you're comrade, your friend, your
incredibly hot ally…" He trailed off at Tensei's
raised eyebrow and laughed nervously. "Well, ano,
I'm….ano. It's Christmas?"
Helpless laughter broke out as Tensei wrapped her arms
around Duo in a gently hug, her body shaking with
laughter. "all right then, all is forgiven!" Winking,
she stepped back from Duo and vanished into the crowds
once again.
"Hey!" Duo called out, his eyes widening. "You mean to
tell me that this was all a joke!"
She giggled softly and shook her head. 'Poor Duo.' She
thought quietly. 'He really never does learn does he?'
A cool hand was placed on her shoulder and her eyes
flew open!
"Ahhh!" Spinning around quickly, she moved herself
into a clumsy fighting stance. "Don't try anything!
I..I know kung fu!" It wasn't entirely a lie. She had
learned some defense in the martial arts during the
war….even if she had never really caught on. She had
mostly excelled in technologies but her attacker
didn't have to know that!
A soft chuckle reached her ears and her eyebrows
knotted into a frown as she realized who it was.
"Trowa! What do you think you're doing!?"
The unibanged pilot just smiled faintly, his one
visible green eyes shining in the lighting of the
party. "Gomen nasi Tensei. Hiiro and I were just
looking for Duo and Wufei, have you seen them?"
"So, of course the only convenient way to get my
attention was to give me a heart attack ne?" She
murmured sarcastically,, before sighing softly. "Well,
Duo's back there somewhere and, Wufei's probably with
Musha knowing those two and…wait a minute. Hiiro and
I?"
A monotone voice suddenly spoke through the music from
directly behind her. "Hai."
For the second time that day, Tensei jumped about a
mile high. "HIIRO!!! What's the big idea with you two
and giving me heart attacks!" She demanded, anger and
embarrassment at being caught at the same trick twice,
making her cheeks flush. She was a gundam pilot, and
they'd pulled the same trick on her more than once!
Hiiros face remained impassive, but Trowa smiled
faintly again. "Arigato for the information
Tensei-san." Turning around, both him and Hiiro
disappeared into the party.
She snickered softly and shook her head. Before
shouting in the direction that the pair had gone off
in "Well, Trowa, you seem to be getting more social
demo, I guess Relena still needs to work on Hiiro a
little longer huh?" Turning around quickly, she dashed
towards the balcony and shut the door just in time to
hear a very faint and echoing Omae wa kourso.
She snickered softly. "When will you learn you guys?
I'm the best of the best, no one can beat me!" Unable
to resist, she did a quick little victory sign, before
walking towards the edge of the balcony, and looking
out into the soft darkness of the night.
Tensei breathed deeply, almost as if trying to stop
time and stay this way forever. "It's so beautiful out
here…"
"Not as beautiful as you.." A soft voice whispered
from behind her.
Her eyes flew open with surprise and she whirled
around quickly, only to be met with a bouquet of a
dozen or so red roses.
FLASH!
"Quartre!" Tensei whined, tugging uselessly at the
itchy blindfold that had been tied gently around her
eyes. "Me and the blindfold had enough encounters
during my Preventer training, why do I have to be
wearing this again!!"
A soft chuckle reached her ears and Tensei felt a
brief warm feeling that surrounded her, upon the
realization that she'd made him laugh. "We'll be there
soon Tensei-chan, I promise. Onegai, just wait a
little longer."
She sighed exasperated. She could almost picture his
blue eyes pleading with her. "I can't even resist your
eyes when I can't see them! Fine…but only because it's
so close to Christmas." It was a lie really, she would
have followed Quartre anywhere, no matter what the
day, and although he would never openly admit it, she
knew he would do the same for her. Love made people do
strange things.
'Strange and wonderful things.' She added silently.
They walked for a few more minutes and a few odd
sounds and sensations reached her ears, a soft
breeze, a door opening and then shutting, soft music
and, vanilla?
"Quartre…what? What's going on?"
Suddenly, the blindfold was removed from her eyes, and
nothing, no one could have prepared Tensei for the
sight that greeted her.
She brought a hand to her lips as she stared wide-eyed
at the room before her. Candles, hundreds of candles
burned throughout the darkened room. Giving off the
scent of vanilla. Soft music played throughout the
room as well, surrounding Tensei within it's magic.
"Kami, Quartre, it's beautiful! I don't know what to
say and-"
"Shhh" He silenced her by placing a finger on her
lips. His eyes almost glowed with happiness, joy and
uncertainty? Fear? "Then don't say anything…" He
pointed upwards and Tensei's eyes followed the motion
and looked up.
Dozens of missile toe were hanging from every section
of the ceiling.
FLASH
"Tensei?"
"Hmm?" Slowly her eyes opened from her half awake
state and she mock glared at Quartre. "What's the big
idea with waking me up?"
He smiled a shaky smile, and not for the first time
that night, Tensei found herself wondering why he was
so nervous.
"Gomen nasi, I just wanted to give you you're gift. I
know that it's only November… Demo, if you don't want
it" He trailed off.
Instantly she was awake. "Iie! I want it! I didn't
mean it Quartre! Gomen!"
He laughed again and stood up from the couch, walking
away from Tensei and trying to ignore how cold he felt
now, without her by his side. "all right then…."
Reaching behind the couch, he pulled out a huge box.
"Merry Christmas."
Her eyes widened. "Quartre, it's huge!"
"Open it."
She giggled. "all right!" She kneeled next to the box
and quickly opened it to reveal, another package?
"Nani?" She questioned, looking up at Quartre who was
now kneeling in front of her.
He just nodded towards the box, signaling for her to
continue unwrapping. The nervousness returning to his
eyes.
'This is…..different. She thought faintly, before
continuing to unwrap, only to revel another package,
and another, and another. It continued like that,
until she reached a package that was no bigger than
her fist.
"AHHA! This has to be it!" Quartre didn't have a
chance to reply as she tore open the final package to
revel, nothing at all!
'What? How can this be?' the thought came to her
amidst all of her confusion. 'All of those packages,
but there was nothing?'
"Tenshi."
Quartre's voice snapped her out of her inner thoughts
and she looked into his eyes. Shocked into silence was
the only way to describe how Tensei reacted, upon
seeing all of the emotions swimming within his eyes.
Fear, confusion, uncertainty and, love.
She felt her face warm as she realized what he'd
called her; he'd never called her that before, Tenshi.
"Tenshi." He repeated Quietly, before continuing,
seeming to gather his courage. "I never thought I
would fall in love with someone, let alone a angel.
You've touched my heart and my soul with one glance
capturing them. You are my life, my heart and my soul
and I knew from the first day that I saw you, the day
that a Tenshi came down and claimed my heart and my
soul. I know I don't deserve you Tenshi demo, I'm
selfish. I want you only for myself and I don't' want
anyone to take you from me. Tenshi…." Reaching into
his pocket, he pulled out a small box, and then opened
it. "Will you Merry me and be forever mine, my
Tenshi?"
She stared at him breathless, she couldn't move, she
couldn't speak, it was as if all streams of thought
had left her mind, leaving her with only her emotions.
And her emotions were giving her a very clear answer.
It is said that soul mates share a special bond, which
is unbreakable. And maybe that's how, Quartre was able
to discover the answer merely by looking into Tensei's
eyes. Slipping the ring on her finger, he took her
within his arms and then spun her around above his
head, laughing out in joy. "Arigato Tenshi!" He
stopped spinning her and allowed her to fall into his
arms. "Arigato…Ai shiteru. I promise, I'll spend the
rest of my life proving to you that you just made, the
right choice….I love you, forever and a day. Ai
shiteru Tensei, my Tenshi."
Tensei didn't even have a chance to respond, as
Quartre leaned forward and captured her lips in a
passionate kiss.
'Is this suppose to feel…this magical?' She thought,
before she lost herself in the pure bliss of the kiss.

***
She groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open.
'No…I don't want to wake up, I don't want to face
reality….Quartre.'
Rolling over, she glared at the glowing digits of her
clock. Four am in the morning!? She hadn't even woken
up this early during her training for the war!
"Nande kuso woke me up?" Her eyes wandered over the
room, and then finally rested upon a book, that must
have fallen off of her shelf.
'Ah ha! So that's the culprit!' She concluded with
satisfaction, before standing up and walking over to
the book.
"Nani?" Bending down, she picked up the book and
looked hard at the title, her eyebrows knotting
together in a frown. She'd never seen this book before
in her life! Her fingertips lightly ran over the hard
leather bound cover of the object, to the strong
binding and then to the latch that was found at the
side, holding the book closed.
'It's a journal.' The logical part of her mind
informed her quietly.
As if acting on it's own accord, Tensei's hand gently
pulled back the cover and to the first page, to only
be met with nothing but blank whiteness.
"Damnit!" She slammed the book back down onto the
shelf with a slam. Undesirable fury swept through her
soul. Why was she so angry, she didn't exactly expect
the journal to have writing on the pages, did she.
"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore. What use
could I possibly have for a journal, I'm already
dead!"
In her furious state, she didn't even stop to consider
how the journal had gotten into her house, or who had
left it there, or what it's purpose was. All she could
think about now, was being able to fall back into
subconscious, where her dreams were waiting for her.
Slamming the door to the bathroom open, her hands went
out of sheer reflex towards the sleeping pills. She
longed to feel the familiar feeling of the plastic
within her grasp. She allowed her eyes to flutter shut
as she continued to search, knowing that soon she
would be able to return to her dreams.
Her hands met with nothing but air.
"Nani?" She murmured quietly,opening her eyes. A empty
countertop greeted her gaze. Where were the pills!
Maybe she'd knocked them over last night.
'Okay, don't panic...theyè're here, they've got to be
here.'
Her hands continued to search, but they were gone.
Just, gone.
"Damnit! Where are they..I know I left them here and-"
And strong hand reached out and grasped Tensei's
wrist, refusing to let go.
"Nani kuso! What the -oof!" Suddenly, she was roughly
shoved into the wall, her hand pinned pinned above her
head and her eyes locking with furious violet.
"DAMNIT MUSHA!" She snarled out. "Don't you ever knock
anymore!"
Musha didn't say anything, her entire body was shaking
with fury, her eyes wild and her golden hair tangled
around her face. She looked like she'd gone crazy.
"I...don't believe...you...." Almost as if disgusted,
she let go of Tensei's wrist and stepped back, but she
didn't lower her hand and for a brief moment, Tensei
wondered if her friend was going to strike her.
'Why is she so angry.....' Her eyes flickered over to
her friends clenched fist and then, she discovered
just what, or rather who, Musha was furious with.
Clenched in Musha's left hand, was Tensei's bottle of
sleeping pills.
"Breaking and entering Musha." Her dead eyes wandered
upward and once again, locked with Musha's. "I see you
found my pills."
"What in the seven Hells do you think you're doing
Tensei! SLEEPING PILLS!" Musha raised her hand and
held the sleeping pills directly in Tensei's face, her
voice shaking.
'She's not angry.' The logical part of Tensei's mind
concluded. 'She's scared....'
Whether she had realized it or not, Musha had begun
pacing the length of the bathroom, a habit she had
picked up whenever she was worried about Tensei. "You
fought in the war, fought against me, fought against
Akki and Master O, so what are you doing now, taking
sleeping pills! Are you CRAZY! Iie, let me rephrase
that, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MI-"
"Be quiet Musha! Just be...quiet." Tensei glared at
her friends stunnded expression, and then continued in
a low furious voice. "Do you have any idea what it's
like, to loose half of your soul. Half of your heart,
have of your life! He was my life Musha, MY LIFE! I
have no reason to live anymore! Can't you understand!"
"Listen to me Tensei." Musha didn't move, only crossed
her arms over her chest, her eyes both furious and
terrified at the same time. "You need to listen to me.
You have every right to be alive and every reason to
survive. You...you saved thousands of lives during the
war, you mean something to people. Don't you think
that if you did something stupid like taking your own
life, that those people would feel grief! Quartre
wouldn't want you to go on like-"
"Save me the lecture Musha." Tensei leaned heavily on
the counter, suddenly exhausted. It was strange, her
entire body almost felt numb. "I don't have the energy
to deal with this. Onegai, if you're my
friend...you'll just, stop."
Even her voice sounded far away now. What was
happening to her!
Tenshi.....
'Nani!' thought Tensei quietly, her now heavy eyelids
snapping open. 'Quartre!'
"TENSEI!" Musha managed to catch Tensei just as her
legs gave out, the bottle of sleeping pills crashing
forgotten to the floor. The sound of plastic hitting
tile rang throughout Tensei's head, ricocheting off of
the corners of her mind.
Tenshi.....
"I guess...that I don't need anymore sleeping pills."
She murmured quietly.
Musha's eyes widened with fear and she began to shake
Tensei's limp form. "DAMNIT! Tensei! Don't do this to
me! This isn't funny....Tensei.....come on, get up.
GET UP!"
She felt her eyes flutter closed, exhaustion finally
winning out, over both her body and her soul.
Tenshi.....
'Quartre! I'm coming! Don't leave me again!'
White light exploded behind her closed eyelids.
"TENSEI!"
Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win
***
"Tenshi..."
She felt so warm and so safe. A small smile curved
into Tensei's lips and she didn't move. Why should
she? She was tired, why should she wake up. There was
nothing to worry about here, she was perfectly safe
and happy. There was no reason for her to wake up.
"Tenshi..onegai wake up." A soft sensation, so
familiar and yet so utterly foreign, suddenly rested
on her lips for a heartbeat, and then it was gone. To
be replaced by the voice.
"Wake up...."
She frowned faintly. "Why? I don't want to." She
realized that it sounded like she was whining, but she
didn't care.
The voice chuckled now, and she felt some hair gently
swept out of her face to be tucked behind her ear.
"Hai demo...it's been so long, since I've been able to
see your beautiful eyes Tenshi..onegai let me see them
again."
Suddenly, it all clicked and she remembered
everything. The dreams, the sleeping medicine, Musha
shouting at her, the newspaper, the light and....
'Quartre's voice! '
Her eyes snapped open. "Quartre!" She snapped her eyes
shut again almost instantly, seeing spots dance behind
her closed eyelids. "Itai! Someone turn off the
lights!"
"Gomen..." The voice sounded apologetic. "I forgot...I
was so happy to be able to see you again, and for you
to be able to see me..I forgot Tenshi..." She felt
someone's forehead rest against her own and arms wrap
around her waist, holding her close. "Try again."
"Demo..." She almost whimpered, the light had been so
bright! And it hurt! "Demo..."
"You'll just have to trust me Tenshi...onegai trust
me....I need for you to be able to see me..."
Slowly and tentatively, Tensei opened her eyes, and
gasped as soon as she did so. Staring right at her,
was her other half, her love, her life, her soul mate.
Standing before her was the man known as Quartre
Rebaba Winner.
"Quartre!" She cried, wrapping her arms around his
neck in a desperate hug, both crying and laughing at
the same time as joy overcame her senses. "Quartre!
You're here! You're really here!!!"
He smiled and laughed, before grabbing her and
spinning her around above his head, laughing. "Tenshi!
Hai! "
She laughed as well, throwing her arms out like wings,
as if she was flying as he spun her around. She didn't
know how it was possible, but she utterly did not
care. Quartre was here, holding her in his arms just
like he was always meant to!
"Quartre! I don't believe this! How is it that you're
alive! How..." she trailed off, for it was at that
moment, that she saw the two large white wings jutting
out from his shoulder blades. "Q-quartre...what...you
have, wings..."
He gently set her down and wrapped his arms around her
again, his eyes saying it all.
'Oh Gods...' thought Tensei in shock. 'He's not
alive.....and neither am I!' She voiced this out
loud.
"Gomen ne Tenshi....demo, I had to see you again..one
last time. Gomen, forgive me..." he kissed her softly
on the lips again and looked into her eyes. "Even if
it wasn't on Earth..."
"Y-you mean that I'm....in heaven..." Emotions slammed
throughout her body quickly and violently. Fear,
shock, uncertainty, but also relief, and...joy.
Incredible joy at being able to see Quartre again, her
soul mate, and being able to be held within his arms.
With a great cry of happiness, she wrapped her arms
tightly around his neck and just held onto him.
Forgetting about everything else in the world except
for the fact that she was with Quartre! Nothing else
mattered but that!
"It doesn't matter Quartre! All that matters is that
we're together." She sighed softly. "Together...."
Oh Gods, he didn't want to tell her what he had to
tell her next. He just wanted to hold her, and kiss
her and tell her that everything would be all right.
But....it wasn't fair, it was so cruel that he had to
do this.
"Quartre?" Her eyes shimmered with confusion. "What's
wrong..."
He took a deep, shuttering breath. As if trying to
find the correct words to use, but unable to find
them. "You have to go back."
Her eyes widened with fear as his words sank in. Iie!
She wouldn'T believe it. "Quartre....i can't go back.
Not after I've just found you again...Quartre...."
"Tenshi..." Tears were filling his own eyes now and he
held her closer to him, as if afraid of loosing her
himself.
'If he's so scared of loosing me.' She thought
frantically. 'Then why is he telling me to go back!?'
"You have to go back Tenshi...you can't stay here, not
yet. Not now....you have to listen to me.
"IIE!" She pulled back slightly, not caring if the
light burned her eyes, or how her soul cried out for
the warmth that she' d just pulled away from. He
wanted her to leave him???! Just after she'd found him
again!? "How can you say that Quartre! I could never
leave you again! Nothing is the same, everything is so
dark and harsh without you. Nothing matters without
you! Quartre.." her voice broke down into muffled sobs
and tears fell with a renewed strength down her
cheeks. "Quartre, i can't...i just can't, live
without....you."
He pulled her closer to him and kissed away her tears,
one by one, before just holding her close to him,
wrapping his wings around her protectively. As if to
sheild her from the pain and from the suffering that
she was experiencing. "I wish I could be selfish
Tenshi. Kami, I wish it so much that it hurts. I ache
to be able to hold you here, and keep you here in my
arms forever....for all eternity, just like I
promised."
"Then why don't you?" She whispered quietly, the tears
never ceasing in their flow from her eyes. "Neither of
us want to leave each other, so why bother?"
He sighed softly, but didn't move from his spot, he
didn't let go of her. "I would never forgive myself,
if I took you away from the Earth before it was your
time." He pulled away and looked directly into her
eyes. "I can't Tenshi...I can't do that to you."
She slowly shook her head. "Quartre, I don'T think, I
can go back. Not without you, I don't have a reason to
live...."
"Tenshi...would you so readily abandon all of your
dreams? What about all of the people that you're going
to have to help in the future..., Musha and Wufei,
would you leave them? Just for our happiness? Just for
our own selfish wish?"
Tears continued to fall from her eyes, and she bowed
her head, her body shaking with silent sobs. "What
about us, what about what we want, and what we wish
for?"
He gently tilted her face up to meet his, his lips
inches away from her own. "I'll always be watching
over you Tenshi, always. Go back! Live your life
Tenshi! Don't be sad anymore onegai! I will always be
with you, and I promise that one day we will see each
other again, and take back all that was lost to us."
"Hai..." she uttered softly, the tears finally
stopping their merciless flow, she had no more left to
shed. "Hai, we'll see each other again one
day...Quartre...."
He nodded and finally captured her lips with his own
in a passionate embrace, holding her tightly to him as
he deepened it. He didn't want to ever let go, but he
knew, no matter how hard he tried to resist it, that
he would have to. He couldn't keep her here, he
couldn't be selfish....
He felt her own slender arms wrap around his neck as
she began to return the kiss and all conscious thought
was lost as he lost himself within his emotions,
kissing her with all of the feeling and passion that
he could, for he didn't know when he'd be able to do
it again. His hands gently began to massage her back
and he just held her their, nothing else mattered
anymore, nothing but him and Tensei, there was nothing
else in existence but them.
'Tenshi...I'll always be with you....'
She pulled back as she felt herself suddenly grow
sleepy, noticing the tears fall from his eyes now.
"Wait for me Quartre...." She gently reached forward
and brushed away his tears with her fingertips, before
exhaustion took over and her eyes fluttered shut
again.
"Hai Tenshi, Ai shiteru...for eternity and beyond...I
love you with all of my heart and my soul..."
A blinding white light exploded behind her eyelids.

Blip.
His eye twitched faintly.
Blip.
He was going to kill that damn machine if it didn't
stop shut up!
Blip.
'Injustice!'
Musha stared at Sally, fear and uncertainty shinning
within her eyes as her body trembled with fear. The
steady blip of the intensive care unit at the hospital
ringing throughout the room. "What's wrong with her?
When is she going to wake up?"
Sally shook her head slowly, her shoulders sagging
slightly as if the weight of the world rested upon
them. She didn't respond.
Wufei glared at Sally, his fists clenched tightly.
"Onna! Tell us what the hell happened to her!"
She refused to make eye contact. "I'm sorry. She
hasn't been eating enough so her body was already
incredibly weak, and after taking so many sleeping
pills, her body just couldn't take it anymore."
Musha began to pace nervously, wringing her hands
together nervously. "So, you're saying that because of
the sleeping pills, she may never-" her voice cracked
and she had to swallow before continuing. "She may
never wake up?"
Wufei growled low in his throat. 'Winner, look what
you've done! How could you have put that onna through
all of this! You dishonorable man! How dare you just
give up like that, and let her suffer as she is
suffering!" His thoughts unwillingly fled back to the
time that he had almost given up, but had remembered
his Megami and had simply refused death.
But it appeared that Quartre hadn't followed his
example.
"It's not just that." Sally whispered softly, drawing
attention from the other to occupants of the room once
again.
"What do you mean, it's not just that!?" Questioned
Musha, fear evident in her eyes.
Sally glanced down at the prone form of Tensei once
again, her eyes showing utter confusion. "Even with
the amount of sleeping pills that she took, she
shouldn'T be in this condition. It's almost as if,
she's somewhere else now, and has lost all hope."
Musha's knees gave out from under her and she
collapsed onto the floor, staring ahead blankly.
"Tensei-chan..."
Suddenly, an almost unbearable rage filled Wufei and
he swiftly walked over to where Tensei lay, glaring
down at her. "Damnit onna! Wake up! You can'T be weak
now and just give up! There are still to many people
here that you mean something to!
"What will happen to Musha if you just give up and die
here! You fought in the war, you saw thousands die,
you did things to assure that others would suffer..."
He growled low in his throat as he recalled several
incidents where Tensei had put herself last, and
everyone else first. "Onna, we're always telling you
to care about yourself and stop worrying about others
so much. Forget what we said, forget about yourself
and think about everyone that you'll be hurting if you
die!"
He couldn't say anymore, without another word he got
up and slowly walked over to the sad, and now also
shocked form of his wife, who was staring up at him
with almost a new light in her eyes. "Wufei....."
Not a word left his lips, he merely sat down and
wrapped his arms around Musha, holding her close to
him.
She buried her head in his shoulder, crying softly.
Her voice only a broken whisper. "Tensei-chan..."
Sally stared, unbelieving at Wufei. She'd expected
someone to try and talk to Tensei, even though she
couldn't hear any of them, but she hadn't expected the
comfort to come from Wufei! She'd expected anyone,
even herself! But Wufei?
Suddenly, a soft groan came from the supposedly
unconscious form on the bed, and Sally whirled around,
to be met with a weak smile upon Tensei's now sleeping
form.
A sob of joy came from the back of the room, where
Musha sat. "She's going to be all right ne?"
Sally could only nod, not even bothering to question
how Musha knew of this, she understood the bond that
the two girls shared.
"Hai, she'll be fine."

"I don't understand what happened to you Tensei-chan.
And I'm beginning to get the impression that I never
will."
Tensei smiled, and leaned over the railing over
looking the ocean. A soft breeze blowing by and
sending her hair blowing gently around her form. "Then
perhaps you were never meant to Musha-chan."
"Demo-"
"Let it go." Wufei glanced down quickly at his wife,
who was resting in his embrace as the two of them also
looked over the ocean. "The onna obviously doesn't
want to explain it, so let her be."
Tensei rolled her eyes. "I don't know if I should be
thanking you Wufei, or be insulted by you."
He just shrugged, returning his attention to the
ocean. "Make what you want of it onna."
Tensei muttered something under her breath. "I
honestly don't know how you put up with him
Musha-chan! The way the two of you are, I'm still
surprised you didn't kill each other long ago."
"Sometimes I wonder as well." Murmured Musha, catching
Tensei's eye a faint smile upon her lips. She was
joking.
Wufei's eyes widened and he stared down at Musha in
near shock. "Nui Shu, nani?"
"Well, you did try to capture me several times during
the war "she responded coyly. "When we stopped
becoming enemies I was under Akki's control, does that
mean we never officially stopped becoming enemies?"
"Nani?!!!
Tensei bit her tongue in a desperate attempt to
swallow her laughter at the look of shock on Wufei's
face.
Musha grinned impishly and kissed Wufei on the cheek,
before stepping back and walking back towards the
street, her body shaking with silent laughter. "Then
again, maybe not."
Wufei's eyes widened faintly, and he straightened up
vastly, as if trying to recover his lost dignity,
before taking off at an almost sprint after Musha.
"ONNA! GET BACK HERE!"
Tensei chuckled softly to herself, before returning
her gaze back to the calm sea before her, that seemed
to stretch to the ends of the Earth.
'They're so happy.' She thought quietly, a smile sad
playing itself upon her lips. 'And they will be happy
forever, something me and Quartre never will have.
Iie, I said that I wouldn't dwell in the past, that I
wouldn't let my grief control me. I love Quartre
enough, to grant him this request.'
She shut her eyes and bowed her head, shedding one
last tear for her soul mate. 'Live your life Tenshi!
Don't be sad anymore onegai! I will always be with
you, and I promise that one day we will see each other
again, and take back all that was lost to us.' That
had been what he'd told her, and whether they were
true or not, she believed his words. Because sometimes
all you could do was believe.
"I promise Quartre, Koibito, I promise. Wait for me."
"Tenshi..." a soft voice murmured.
She froze and her eyes widened. SHe recognized that
voice! She knew it! Demo, it was impossible. THere
was, no way.
But her heart and her soul suggested otherwise, as the
familiar feelings of safety, security and love that
she had been for so long robbed of, came rushing back
to her so quickly and suddenly that it struck her
breathless.
'Iie! Tensei, don'T turn around! You'll only be
setting yourself for a bigger fall when you turn
around and realize that nothings there....' But, her
body seemed to have betrayed her as she slowly turned
around, and was met with the speaker.
And her heart instantly swelled when she did.
Before her stood a young man, perhaps a year older
than her. With blonde hair that was so light it gave
off the impression of being platinum, with blue eyes
that were so deep and joy filled that she found
herself getting lost within them, with hands that were
holding a single bouquet of lilies.
Her eyes widened with disbelief and she found herself
running to him, tears of joy falling from her eyes and
sparkling as they hit the ground.
"QUARTRE!"

In the mysterious journal that had appeared in
Tensei's room, in which l less than three days ago the

No More Drama
Snowflakes fell softly outside, spinning and twirling
in an eternal dance. They almost seemed to taunt the
young woman inside an apartment.
'Everything is so different now.' She thought numbly.
'Is it really Christmas already? Time just seems to
bled together now…'
A harsh wind crashed up against the apartment and the
girl shivered faintly pulling the blanket tighter
around her body. Slowly, her eyes wandered to a
mirror. An unfamiliar reflection stared back at her.
Brown eyes that had once shimmered with hidden
laughter stared back at her, seemingly dead and blonde
hair that had floated around her body like pale wings,
now fell onto honey coloured skin in a mass of
tangles.
She'd always hated winter, but for some reason…some
reason, this one was much worse.
'The coldness outside almost can match the numbness in
my heart.' A faint smile, filled with sorrow covered
her face for a brief moment, but it seemed unfamiliar,
and unwelcome on her features.
Blonde hair that had once glowed and shined
beautifully, now spilled down onto creamy honey
coloured skin in messy tangles. Brown eyes that had
once shimmered with hope and joy had lost their inner
fire.
A hand reached out to gently touch the cool surface of
the mirror.
'Is that really me? Have I really changed that much?
Was he really that much a part of me….'
The soft sound of footsteps reached the woman's ears
and they snapped her out of her inner thoughts.
"Tensei? The door was open, so I let myself in
and….kami….."
'Oh no…onegai, don't let her see me like
this….please….' Hastily, the woman named Tensei
struggled to wipe away her tears but a gentle hand on
her wrist stopped her.
Tensei looked up slowly. Her vision resting on the
bare hand that held fast onto her wrist. Tensei forced
a smile upon her face as she raised her face and came
eye to eye with her best friend, Musha.
"Tensei-chan? What….are you-"
"You're not wearing your ring." Tensei stated bluntly,
her voice as dead as her eyes.
The hand holding her wrist in that firm grip slowly
let go as the woman named Musha sat back on her heels.
"I just thought…" Musha shook her head, sending golden
curls flying out around her head. "Tensei, you have to
stop acting like this. He..he wouldn't want you to be
like this."
Silence spread between the two friends as brown eyes
slowly rose and studied the girl before her. Long
curly golden hair held in a loose ponytail fell into
eyes that still burned with an inner fire. Skin that
was slightly tanned was still covered with faint
scars, but not nearly as much as there had once been.
'She looks the same.' She thought quietly. 'Except for
her ponytail…it use to be a lot..
Tighter than that.' Tensei's snorted softly. 'Of
course it's looser. The wars over, she has no reason
to mourn, no reason to be sad, why should she keep her
hair like it was during the war.'
Violet eyes filled with concern. "Tensei, Onegai speak
with me. Quartre wouldn't want to see you-"
Tensei's head snapped up, her eyes no longer dead but
filled the fires of rage. "And how would you know what
he wanted Musha!? Tell me that!" Her voice trembled
with barely contained fury." How would you know?! They
didn't even find a damn body!"
"I was just trying to help!"
"Well don't!" Brown eyes narrowed in anger. "You have
everything Musha, you have no idea what the hell I'm
going through! So just stop trying to help!"
Silence once again spread as Musha wordlessly stood up
and headed for the door. Her golden sweater swaying
with her movements. "You know Tensei." Her voice came
out silvery soft from the door. "You two share a bond
that's so strong it can never be broken. Nothing can
shatter it. Not life, not death, nothing. You two will
find each other again."
The soft shutting of a door reached Tensei's ears as
Musha's words rang throughout her mind, never getting
louder or softer but, always there.
"Find each other again. Yeah right."
***
So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired
***
The biting cold wind pierced Tensei's coat but she
ignored it. She just didn't, care anymore. Her eyes
stared unseeing down to the earth below. She could do
it, it would be so easy…just take a little step and,
that would be it. The constant pain in her heart would
vanish forever more, never to return…never to come
back.
'It was here, that we first met.' Brown eyes opened
wide with surprise, where had that thought come from?
'But it's true isn't it?' She thought softly, casting
a glance behind her. Dust and cobwebs fell over the
half destroyed building, but it had been magnificent
in its day. The walls had seemingly gleamed with pride
and the floor had appeared to have a story to tell, a
story of two girls, who had met their soul mates in
this very building.
For this was an old military base, a place where five
years ago, a peace treaty signing had attempted to
take place.
But now, the once proud building was little more than
rubble, pieces of the grand walls falling down and the
floor caving in.
'This place was once so beautiful, but now it's lost
its purpose, like me.' She smiled darkly, and sat
down, allowing her feet to dangle off of one of the
few remaining beams that had once supported the
building. From where she sat, she had a bird's eye
view of the decaying building.
Her eyes flickered over to a hole in the ceiling and a
ghost of a smile graced her lips. 'It was there, right
there, that me and Musha had hidden until the enemy
had appeared, and it was there…' Her eyes skimmed over
to the ground directly below the hole. 'It was there
that I 'crashed' into Quartre.'
Her eyes darkened and her vision became slightly
blurry. Ironic, she'd thought that she'd had no more
tears left to shed. Why had she come here? She should
have known that it would have only brought her more
pain, reopen old wounds that would…iie, could never
heal.
'Gods, Quartre. Why? Why did you have to leave me? You
said that you'd come back, you promised! I hate you
Quartre, I hate you because you made me love you so
much, you became my hope, and now you're gone.'
A cool wind blew up over the edge of the roof and
struck Tensei, howling in the darkening sky. Taunting
her. Wordlessly, she stood up and all but ran from
the building, from the edge of the roof. Because she
couldn't be sure of what she would do if she remained
there alone, without hope.
***
Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine
***
Dreams seemed like the only escape now, the only place
where she could escape that hell that was her reality,
and go to blissful paradise.
Tensei stared at herself in the mirror, at the dark
bags under her eyes. An empty bottle of sleeping pills
lay discarded on the messy counter top.
"Quartre….why did you leave me….why…." Tears once
again began to fill her eyes but she didn't even
attempt to brush them away as she walked over to her
bed. She just didn't care anymore; she was too tired
both mentally and physically. Dead in life.
Lying bright against the blue sheets of her bed was a
torn and crinkled paper. It wasn't important, she'd
read it over so many times…she knew it by heart. Each
word would forever be burned into her memory.
'Maybe it's not true.' She reasoned quietly with
herself, trying to convince her spirit of something
that could never be. 'Maybe I miss read it, and if I
read it again….'
Delusions were beginning to set in, and as if guided
by some unseen force, her hand shot out and picked up
the paper, and began to read.

and active member of the Preventers, is presumed dead
as of
November 31, AC 199. He, as well as several other
colony representatives were traveling back to the
earth aboard shuttle X32, when communications were
suddenly and swiftly
cut. The shuttle however, did land at L1 several hours
later. A civilian aboard the shuttle, when interviewed
said that several unknown Mobile suits had fired at
the shuttle. The pilot of the shuttle had lost
conscious after his head had connected with the
control panel after a particularly harsh explosion.
Quartre. R. Winner managed to pilot the shuttle to
safety aboard an abandoned resource satellite after
the pilot had passed out. Once aboard the satellite,
he apparently found an old out of date M.S. He boarded
it and went out into space to engage with the enemies,
and serve as a
distraction to the M.S. In the chaos of the
distraction, the terrorist M.S group failed to notice
just where the shuttle had landed. Confirmation
of an explosion where the M.S battle was taking place
was confirmed shortly afterwards. Quartre Winner never
returned to the shuttle aboard the satellite. The
pilot eventually regained conscious and took the
shuttle to the closet colony, L1. Quartre. R. Winner
is presumed dead and the entire human race mourns his
death. He died a hero in the heat of battle and will

"NO!" Rage burned throughout her and she threw the
paper, tears filled her eyes and sparkled to the
ground.
"It's true then." Her voice came out hoarse, and
barely above a whisper. "He's gone…he left me…he's
never coming back…and nothing, no one can change
that." With a sudden spark of fury, she threw back her
head and shouted her grief to the sky. "QUARTRE!
DAMNIT! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME! I HATE YOU FOR
IT! I HATE YOU!" The screams of rage were suddenly
rendered to nothing more than pitiful sobs.
She barely made it over to the bed before she
collapsed. She really shouldn't be taking so many
sleeping pills, the box said one per night….she was
taking five, but she was just too tired to care
anymore.
"I hate you Quartre, because you made me love you, and
then you left me. And now, I have nothing left…I'm
dead in life without you." Then, she surrendered to
the blissful darkness of sleep, where memories of her
past, and her soul mate, haunted her dreams.
*******
Tensei laughed softly, before throwing her arms out to
her sides and spinning around in pure joy. Everything
was perfect, everything.
"Hey, you know you're going to get dizzy if you keep
doing that Tensei-chan."
"Does it look like I care about that!" She laughed
softly, but stopped spinning never the less, her eyes
sparkling with joy. "It's over Musha-chan, it's really
over. All the fighting, all the bloodshed. We're free,
free to live our lives, free to find happiness,
free…free…"
"To find love ne?"
Tensei looked at her friend in near astonishment.
Musha never said things like that, she was to…well,
and it just wasn't her personality.
"Musha…nani! Why did you say something so…so…un-
Musha-like?"
Her friend just shut her eyes and shook her head, a
faint smirk upon her lips. "It's Christmas
Tensei-chan, I can be a little out of character ne?
After all." She looked up, her own violet eyes
twinkling with delight. "The wars over. And who knows
what the New Year will bring."
Tensei raised an eyebrow at Musha's tone. "And what,
pray tell, do you mean by that Musha?" Realization
dawned in Tensei's deep brown eyes. "What are you
hiding?!"
She smiled mysteriously, before turning and waving
over her shoulder as she walked away. Her golden hair
swaying behind her " What would ever make you think
I'm hiding something Tensei? Ja!"
"Hey! Come back here!" She took off in the direction
that Musha had gone in, dodging swaying bodies and
struggling not to give into the temptation of the
music. "Geez…when Hilde throws a Christmas party…she
doesn't kid around! Itai!"
The boy who had bumped into Tensei turned around
quickly, hitting several people in the process with
his incredibly long braid. "Tensei! I didn't see you
there!"
"No, obviously not." She muttered, rubbing her head.
"Hey! Come on! You're not mad at me are ya?" Laughing
indigo eyes met with Tensei's. "I mean, I'm Duo
Maxwell, I run I hide but I never tell a lie! So you
know I mean it when I say I'm sorry right?"
A sly smile spread across Tensei's face and she turned
around so she wasn't facing Duo. "I don't know Duo.
You really may have gone to far this time…."
The boy's, Duo's eyes widened faintly. "Hey, I was
just joking Tensei! Come on, forgive you're old pal
Duo ne?" He rested a hand on Tensei's shoulder;
slightly worried that he had really offended her now.
Tensei bit down on her tongue, in a desperate attempt
to stifle her laughter. "Well, I don't know Duo…why
exactly should I forgive you?"
"Well, I'm you're comrade, your friend, your
incredibly hot ally…" He trailed off at Tensei's
raised eyebrow and laughed nervously. "Well, ano,
I'm….ano. It's Christmas?"
Helpless laughter broke out as Tensei wrapped her arms
around Duo in a gently hug, her body shaking with
laughter. "all right then, all is forgiven!" Winking,
she stepped back from Duo and vanished into the crowds
once again.
"Hey!" Duo called out, his eyes widening. "You mean to
tell me that this was all a joke!"
She giggled softly and shook her head. 'Poor Duo.' She
thought quietly. 'He really never does learn does he?'
A cool hand was placed on her shoulder and her eyes
flew open!
"Ahhh!" Spinning around quickly, she moved herself
into a clumsy fighting stance. "Don't try anything!
I..I know kung fu!" It wasn't entirely a lie. She had
learned some defense in the martial arts during the
war….even if she had never really caught on. She had
mostly excelled in technologies but her attacker
didn't have to know that!
A soft chuckle reached her ears and her eyebrows
knotted into a frown as she realized who it was.
"Trowa! What do you think you're doing!?"
The unibanged pilot just smiled faintly, his one
visible green eyes shining in the lighting of the
party. "Gomen nasi Tensei. Hiiro and I were just
looking for Duo and Wufei, have you seen them?"
"So, of course the only convenient way to get my
attention was to give me a heart attack ne?" She
murmured sarcastically,, before sighing softly. "Well,
Duo's back there somewhere and, Wufei's probably with
Musha knowing those two and…wait a minute. Hiiro and
I?"
A monotone voice suddenly spoke through the music from
directly behind her. "Hai."
For the second time that day, Tensei jumped about a
mile high. "HIIRO!!! What's the big idea with you two
and giving me heart attacks!" She demanded, anger and
embarrassment at being caught at the same trick twice,
making her cheeks flush. She was a gundam pilot, and
they'd pulled the same trick on her more than once!
Hiiros face remained impassive, but Trowa smiled
faintly again. "Arigato for the information
Tensei-san." Turning around, both him and Hiiro
disappeared into the party.
She snickered softly and shook her head. Before
shouting in the direction that the pair had gone off
in "Well, Trowa, you seem to be getting more social
demo, I guess Relena still needs to work on Hiiro a
little longer huh?" Turning around quickly, she dashed
towards the balcony and shut the door just in time to
hear a very faint and echoing Omae wa kourso.
She snickered softly. "When will you learn you guys?
I'm the best of the best, no one can beat me!" Unable
to resist, she did a quick little victory sign, before
walking towards the edge of the balcony, and looking
out into the soft darkness of the night.
Tensei breathed deeply, almost as if trying to stop
time and stay this way forever. "It's so beautiful out
here…"
"Not as beautiful as you.." A soft voice whispered
from behind her.
Her eyes flew open with surprise and she whirled
around quickly, only to be met with a bouquet of a
dozen or so red roses.
FLASH!
"Quartre!" Tensei whined, tugging uselessly at the
itchy blindfold that had been tied gently around her
eyes. "Me and the blindfold had enough encounters
during my Preventer training, why do I have to be
wearing this again!!"
A soft chuckle reached her ears and Tensei felt a
brief warm feeling that surrounded her, upon the
realization that she'd made him laugh. "We'll be there
soon Tensei-chan, I promise. Onegai, just wait a
little longer."
She sighed exasperated. She could almost picture his
blue eyes pleading with her. "I can't even resist your
eyes when I can't see them! Fine…but only because it's
so close to Christmas." It was a lie really, she would
have followed Quartre anywhere, no matter what the
day, and although he would never openly admit it, she
knew he would do the same for her. Love made people do
strange things.
'Strange and wonderful things.' She added silently.
They walked for a few more minutes and a few odd
sounds and sensations reached her ears, a soft
breeze, a door opening and then shutting, soft music
and, vanilla?
"Quartre…what? What's going on?"
Suddenly, the blindfold was removed from her eyes, and
nothing, no one could have prepared Tensei for the
sight that greeted her.
She brought a hand to her lips as she stared wide-eyed
at the room before her. Candles, hundreds of candles
burned throughout the darkened room. Giving off the
scent of vanilla. Soft music played throughout the
room as well, surrounding Tensei within it's magic.
"Kami, Quartre, it's beautiful! I don't know what to
say and-"
"Shhh" He silenced her by placing a finger on her
lips. His eyes almost glowed with happiness, joy and
uncertainty? Fear? "Then don't say anything…" He
pointed upwards and Tensei's eyes followed the motion
and looked up.
Dozens of missile toe were hanging from every section
of the ceiling.
FLASH
"Tensei?"
"Hmm?" Slowly her eyes opened from her half awake
state and she mock glared at Quartre. "What's the big
idea with waking me up?"
He smiled a shaky smile, and not for the first time
that night, Tensei found herself wondering why he was
so nervous.
"Gomen nasi, I just wanted to give you you're gift. I
know that it's only November… Demo, if you don't want
it" He trailed off.
Instantly she was awake. "Iie! I want it! I didn't
mean it Quartre! Gomen!"
He laughed again and stood up from the couch, walking
away from Tensei and trying to ignore how cold he felt
now, without her by his side. "all right then…."
Reaching behind the couch, he pulled out a huge box.
"Merry Christmas."
Her eyes widened. "Quartre, it's huge!"
"Open it."
She giggled. "all right!" She kneeled next to the box
and quickly opened it to reveal, another package?
"Nani?" She questioned, looking up at Quartre who was
now kneeling in front of her.
He just nodded towards the box, signaling for her to
continue unwrapping. The nervousness returning to his
eyes.
'This is…..different. She thought faintly, before
continuing to unwrap, only to revel another package,
and another, and another. It continued like that,
until she reached a package that was no bigger than
her fist.
"AHHA! This has to be it!" Quartre didn't have a
chance to reply as she tore open the final package to
revel, nothing at all!
'What? How can this be?' the thought came to her
amidst all of her confusion. 'All of those packages,
but there was nothing?'
"Tenshi."
Quartre's voice snapped her out of her inner thoughts
and she looked into his eyes. Shocked into silence was
the only way to describe how Tensei reacted, upon
seeing all of the emotions swimming within his eyes.
Fear, confusion, uncertainty and, love.
She felt her face warm as she realized what he'd
called her; he'd never called her that before, Tenshi.
"Tenshi." He repeated Quietly, before continuing,
seeming to gather his courage. "I never thought I
would fall in love with someone, let alone a angel.
You've touched my heart and my soul with one glance
capturing them. You are my life, my heart and my soul
and I knew from the first day that I saw you, the day
that a Tenshi came down and claimed my heart and my
soul. I know I don't deserve you Tenshi demo, I'm
selfish. I want you only for myself and I don't' want
anyone to take you from me. Tenshi…." Reaching into
his pocket, he pulled out a small box, and then opened
it. "Will you Merry me and be forever mine, my
Tenshi?"
She stared at him breathless, she couldn't move, she
couldn't speak, it was as if all streams of thought
had left her mind, leaving her with only her emotions.
And her emotions were giving her a very clear answer.
It is said that soul mates share a special bond, which
is unbreakable. And maybe that's how, Quartre was able
to discover the answer merely by looking into Tensei's
eyes. Slipping the ring on her finger, he took her
within his arms and then spun her around above his
head, laughing out in joy. "Arigato Tenshi!" He
stopped spinning her and allowed her to fall into his
arms. "Arigato…Ai shiteru. I promise, I'll spend the
rest of my life proving to you that you just made, the
right choice….I love you, forever and a day. Ai
shiteru Tensei, my Tenshi."
Tensei didn't even have a chance to respond, as
Quartre leaned forward and captured her lips in a
passionate kiss.
'Is this suppose to feel…this magical?' She thought,
before she lost herself in the pure bliss of the kiss.
***
No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game messin with my mind)

Nooone's gonna make me hurt again

***
She groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open.
'No…I don't want to wake up, I don't want to face
reality….Quartre.'
Rolling over, she glared at the glowing digits of her
clock. Four am in the morning!? She hadn't even woken
up this early during her training for the war!
"Nande kuso woke me up?" Her eyes wandered over the
room, and then finally rested upon a book, that must
have fallen off of her shelf.
'Ah ha! So that's the culprit!' She concluded with
satisfaction, before standing up and walking over to
the book.
"Nani?" Bending down, she picked up the book and
looked hard at the title, her eyebrows knotting
together in a frown. She'd never seen this book before
in her life! Her fingertips lightly ran over the hard
leather bound cover of the object, to the strong
binding and then to the latch that was found at the
side, holding the book closed.
'It's a journal.' The logical part of her mind
informed her quietly.
As if acting on it's own accord, Tensei's hand gently
pulled back the cover and to the first page, to only
be met with nothing but blank whiteness.
"Damnit!" She slammed the book back down onto the
shelf with a slam. Undesirable fury swept through her
soul. Why was she so angry, she didn't exactly expect
the journal to have writing on the pages, did she.
"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore. What use
could I possibly have for a journal, I'm already
dead!"
In her furious state, she didn't even stop to consider
how the journal had gotten into her house, or who had
left it there, or what it's purpose was. All she could
think about now, was being able to fall back into
subconscious, where her dreams were waiting for her.
Slamming the door to the bathroom open, her hands went
out of sheer reflex towards the sleeping pills. She
longed to feel the familiar feeling of the plastic
within her grasp. She allowed her eyes to flutter shut
as she continued to search, knowing that soon she
would be able to return to her dreams.
Her hands met with nothing but air.
"Nani?" She murmured quietly,opening her eyes. A empty
countertop greeted her gaze. Where were the pills!
Maybe she'd knocked them over last night.
'Okay, don't panic...theyè're here, they've got to be
here.'
Her hands continued to search, but they were gone.
Just, gone.
"Damnit! Where are they..I know I left them here and-"
And strong hand reached out and grasped Tensei's
wrist, refusing to let go.
"Nani kuso! What the -oof!" Suddenly, she was roughly
shoved into the wall, her hand pinned pinned above her
head and her eyes locking with furious violet.
"DAMNIT MUSHA!" She snarled out. "Don't you ever knock
anymore!"
Musha didn't say anything, her entire body was shaking
with fury, her eyes wild and her golden hair tangled
around her face. She looked like she'd gone crazy.
"I...don't believe...you...." Almost as if disgusted,
she let go of Tensei's wrist and stepped back, but she
didn't lower her hand and for a brief moment, Tensei
wondered if her friend was going to strike her.
'Why is she so angry.....' Her eyes flickered over to
her friends clenched fist and then, she discovered
just what, or rather who, Musha was furious with.
Clenched in Musha's left hand, was Tensei's bottle of
sleeping pills.
"Breaking and entering Musha." Her dead eyes wandered
upward and once again, locked with Musha's. "I see you
found my pills."
"What in the seven Hells do you think you're doing
Tensei! SLEEPING PILLS!" Musha raised her hand and
held the sleeping pills directly in Tensei's face, her
voice shaking.
'She's not angry.' The logical part of Tensei's mind
concluded. 'She's scared....'
Whether she had realized it or not, Musha had begun
pacing the length of the bathroom, a habit she had
picked up whenever she was worried about Tensei. "You
fought in the war, fought against me, fought against
Akki and Master O, so what are you doing now, taking
sleeping pills! Are you CRAZY! Iie, let me rephrase
that, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MI-"
"Be quiet Musha! Just be...quiet." Tensei glared at
her friends stunnded expression, and then continued in
a low furious voice. "Do you have any idea what it's
like, to loose half of your soul. Half of your heart,
have of your life! He was my life Musha, MY LIFE! I
have no reason to live anymore! Can't you understand!"
"Listen to me Tensei." Musha didn't move, only crossed
her arms over her chest, her eyes both furious and
terrified at the same time. "You need to listen to me.
You have every right to be alive and every reason to
survive. You...you saved thousands of lives during the
war, you mean something to people. Don't you think
that if you did something stupid like taking your own
life, that those people would feel grief! Quartre
wouldn't want you to go on like-"
"Save me the lecture Musha." Tensei leaned heavily on
the counter, suddenly exhausted. It was strange, her
entire body almost felt numb. "I don't have the energy
to deal with this. Onegai, if you're my
friend...you'll just, stop."
Even her voice sounded far away now. What was
happening to her!
Tenshi.....
'Nani!' thought Tensei quietly, her now heavy eyelids
snapping open. 'Quartre!'
"TENSEI!" Musha managed to catch Tensei just as her
legs gave out, the bottle of sleeping pills crashing
forgotten to the floor. The sound of plastic hitting
tile rang throughout Tensei's head, ricocheting off of
the corners of her mind.
Tenshi.....
"I guess...that I don't need anymore sleeping pills."
She murmured quietly.
Musha's eyes widened with fear and she began to shake
Tensei's limp form. "DAMNIT! Tensei! Don't do this to
me! This isn't funny....Tensei.....come on, get up.
GET UP!"
She felt her eyes flutter closed, exhaustion finally
winning out, over both her body and her soul.
Tenshi.....
'Quartre! I'm coming! Don't leave me again!'
White light exploded behind her closed eyelids.
"TENSEI!"
Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win
***
"Tenshi..."
She felt so warm and so safe. A small smile curved
into Tensei's lips and she didn't move. Why should
she? She was tired, why should she wake up. There was
nothing to worry about here, she was perfectly safe
and happy. There was no reason for her to wake up.
"Tenshi..onegai wake up." A soft sensation, so
familiar and yet so utterly foreign, suddenly rested
on her lips for a heartbeat, and then it was gone. To
be replaced by the voice.
"Wake up...."
She frowned faintly. "Why? I don't want to." She
realized that it sounded like she was whining, but she
didn't care.
The voice chuckled now, and she felt some hair gently
swept out of her face to be tucked behind her ear.
"Hai demo...it's been so long, since I've been able to
see your beautiful eyes Tenshi..onegai let me see them
again."
Suddenly, it all clicked and she remembered
everything. The dreams, the sleeping medicine, Musha
shouting at her, the newspaper, the light and....
'Quartre's voice! '
Her eyes snapped open. "Quartre!" She snapped her eyes
shut again almost instantly, seeing spots dance behind
her closed eyelids. "Itai! Someone turn off the
lights!"
"Gomen..." The voice sounded apologetic. "I forgot...I
was so happy to be able to see you again, and for you
to be able to see me..I forgot Tenshi..." She felt
someone's forehead rest against her own and arms wrap
around her waist, holding her close. "Try again."
"Demo..." She almost whimpered, the light had been so
bright! And it hurt! "Demo..."
"You'll just have to trust me Tenshi...onegai trust
me....I need for you to be able to see me..."
Slowly and tentatively, Tensei opened her eyes, and
gasped as soon as she did so. Staring right at her,
was her other half, her love, her life, her soul mate.
Standing before her was the man known as Quartre
Rebaba Winner.
"Quartre!" She cried, wrapping her arms around his
neck in a desperate hug, both crying and laughing at
the same time as joy overcame her senses. "Quartre!
You're here! You're really here!!!"
He smiled and laughed, before grabbing her and
spinning her around above his head, laughing. "Tenshi!
Hai! "
She laughed as well, throwing her arms out like wings,
as if she was flying as he spun her around. She didn't
know how it was possible, but she utterly did not
care. Quartre was here, holding her in his arms just
like he was always meant to!
"Quartre! I don't believe this! How is it that you're
alive! How..." she trailed off, for it was at that
moment, that she saw the two large white wings jutting
out from his shoulder blades. "Q-quartre...what...you
have, wings..."
He gently set her down and wrapped his arms around her
again, his eyes saying it all.
'Oh Gods...' thought Tensei in shock. 'He's not
alive.....and neither am I!' She voiced this out
loud.
"Gomen ne Tenshi....demo, I had to see you again..one
last time. Gomen, forgive me..." he kissed her softly
on the lips again and looked into her eyes. "Even if
it wasn't on Earth..."
"Y-you mean that I'm....in heaven..." Emotions slammed
throughout her body quickly and violently. Fear,
shock, uncertainty, but also relief, and...joy.
Incredible joy at being able to see Quartre again, her
soul mate, and being able to be held within his arms.
With a great cry of happiness, she wrapped her arms
tightly around his neck and just held onto him.
Forgetting about everything else in the world except
for the fact that she was with Quartre! Nothing else
mattered but that!
"It doesn't matter Quartre! All that matters is that
we're together." She sighed softly. "Together...."
Oh Gods, he didn't want to tell her what he had to
tell her next. He just wanted to hold her, and kiss
her and tell her that everything would be all right.
But....it wasn't fair, it was so cruel that he had to
do this.
"Quartre?" Her eyes shimmered with confusion. "What's
wrong..."
He took a deep, shuttering breath. As if trying to
find the correct words to use, but unable to find
them. "You have to go back."
Her eyes widened with fear as his words sank in. Iie!
She wouldn'T believe it. "Quartre....i can't go back.
Not after I've just found you again...Quartre...."
"Tenshi..." Tears were filling his own eyes now and he
held her closer to him, as if afraid of loosing her
himself.
'If he's so scared of loosing me.' She thought
frantically. 'Then why is he telling me to go back!?'
"You have to go back Tenshi...you can't stay here, not
yet. Not now....you have to listen to me.
"IIE!" She pulled back slightly, not caring if the
light burned her eyes, or how her soul cried out for
the warmth that she' d just pulled away from. He
wanted her to leave him???! Just after she'd found him
again!? "How can you say that Quartre! I could never
leave you again! Nothing is the same, everything is so
dark and harsh without you. Nothing matters without
you! Quartre.." her voice broke down into muffled sobs
and tears fell with a renewed strength down her
cheeks. "Quartre, i can't...i just can't, live
without....you."
He pulled her closer to him and kissed away her tears,
one by one, before just holding her close to him,
wrapping his wings around her protectively. As if to
sheild her from the pain and from the suffering that
she was experiencing. "I wish I could be selfish
Tenshi. Kami, I wish it so much that it hurts. I ache
to be able to hold you here, and keep you here in my
arms forever....for all eternity, just like I
promised."
"Then why don't you?" She whispered quietly, the tears
never ceasing in their flow from her eyes. "Neither of
us want to leave each other, so why bother?"
He sighed softly, but didn't move from his spot, he
didn't let go of her. "I would never forgive myself,
if I took you away from the Earth before it was your
time." He pulled away and looked directly into her
eyes. "I can't Tenshi...I can't do that to you."
She slowly shook her head. "Quartre, I don'T think, I
can go back. Not without you, I don't have a reason to
live...."
"Tenshi...would you so readily abandon all of your
dreams? What about all of the people that you're going
to have to help in the future..., Musha and Wufei,
would you leave them? Just for our happiness? Just for
our own selfish wish?"
Tears continued to fall from her eyes, and she bowed
her head, her body shaking with silent sobs. "What
about us, what about what we want, and what we wish
for?"
He gently tilted her face up to meet his, his lips
inches away from her own. "I'll always be watching
over you Tenshi, always. Go back! Live your life
Tenshi! Don't be sad anymore onegai! I will always be
with you, and I promise that one day we will see each
other again, and take back all that was lost to us."
"Hai..." she uttered softly, the tears finally
stopping their merciless flow, she had no more left to
shed. "Hai, we'll see each other again one
day...Quartre...."
He nodded and finally captured her lips with his own
in a passionate embrace, holding her tightly to him as
he deepened it. He didn't want to ever let go, but he
knew, no matter how hard he tried to resist it, that
he would have to. He couldn't keep her here, he
couldn't be selfish....
He felt her own slender arms wrap around his neck as
she began to return the kiss and all conscious thought
was lost as he lost himself within his emotions,
kissing her with all of the feeling and passion that
he could, for he didn't know when he'd be able to do
it again. His hands gently began to massage her back
and he just held her their, nothing else mattered
anymore, nothing but him and Tensei, there was nothing
else in existence but them.
'Tenshi...I'll always be with you....'
She pulled back as she felt herself suddenly grow
sleepy, noticing the tears fall from his eyes now.
"Wait for me Quartre...." She gently reached forward
and brushed away his tears with her fingertips, before
exhaustion took over and her eyes fluttered shut
again.
"Hai Tenshi, Ai shiteru...for eternity and beyond...I
love you with all of my heart and my soul..."
A blinding white light exploded behind her eyelids.

Blip.
His eye twitched faintly.
Blip.
He was going to kill that damn machine if it didn't
stop shut up!
Blip.
'Injustice!'
Musha stared at Sally, fear and uncertainty shinning
within her eyes as her body trembled with fear. The
steady blip of the intensive care unit at the hospital
ringing throughout the room. "What's wrong with her?
When is she going to wake up?"
Sally shook her head slowly, her shoulders sagging
slightly as if the weight of the world rested upon
them. She didn't respond.
Wufei glared at Sally, his fists clenched tightly.
"Onna! Tell us what the hell happened to her!"
She refused to make eye contact. "I'm sorry. She
hasn't been eating enough so her body was already
incredibly weak, and after taking so many sleeping
pills, her body just couldn't take it anymore."
Musha began to pace nervously, wringing her hands
together nervously. "So, you're saying that because of
the sleeping pills, she may never-" her voice cracked
and she had to swallow before continuing. "She may
never wake up?"
Wufei growled low in his throat. 'Winner, look what
you've done! How could you have put that onna through
all of this! You dishonorable man! How dare you just
give up like that, and let her suffer as she is
suffering!" His thoughts unwillingly fled back to the
time that he had almost given up, but had remembered
his Megami and had simply refused death.
But it appeared that Quartre hadn't followed his
example.
"It's not just that." Sally whispered softly, drawing
attention from the other to occupants of the room once
again.
"What do you mean, it's not just that!?" Questioned
Musha, fear evident in her eyes.
Sally glanced down at the prone form of Tensei once
again, her eyes showing utter confusion. "Even with
the amount of sleeping pills that she took, she
shouldn'T be in this condition. It's almost as if,
she's somewhere else now, and has lost all hope."
Musha's knees gave out from under her and she
collapsed onto the floor, staring ahead blankly.
"Tensei-chan..."
Suddenly, an almost unbearable rage filled Wufei and
he swiftly walked over to where Tensei lay, glaring
down at her. "Damnit onna! Wake up! You can'T be weak
now and just give up! There are still to many people
here that you mean something to!
"What will happen to Musha if you just give up and die
here! You fought in the war, you saw thousands die,
you did things to assure that others would suffer..."
He growled low in his throat as he recalled several
incidents where Tensei had put herself last, and
everyone else first. "Onna, we're always telling you
to care about yourself and stop worrying about others
so much. Forget what we said, forget about yourself
and think about everyone that you'll be hurting if you
die!"
He couldn't say anymore, without another word he got
up and slowly walked over to the sad, and now also
shocked form of his wife, who was staring up at him
with almost a new light in her eyes. "Wufei....."
Not a word left his lips, he merely sat down and
wrapped his arms around Musha, holding her close to
him.
She buried her head in his shoulder, crying softly.
Her voice only a broken whisper. "Tensei-chan..."
Sally stared, unbelieving at Wufei. She'd expected
someone to try and talk to Tensei, even though she
couldn't hear any of them, but she hadn't expected the
comfort to come from Wufei! She'd expected anyone,
even herself! But Wufei?
Suddenly, a soft groan came from the supposedly
unconscious form on the bed, and Sally whirled around,
to be met with a weak smile upon Tensei's now sleeping
form.
A sob of joy came from the back of the room, where
Musha sat. "She's going to be all right ne?"
Sally could only nod, not even bothering to question
how Musha knew of this, she understood the bond that
the two girls shared.
"Hai, she'll be fine."

"I don't understand what happened to you Tensei-chan.
And I'm beginning to get the impression that I never
will."
Tensei smiled, and leaned over the railing over
looking the ocean. A soft breeze blowing by and
sending her hair blowing gently around her form. "Then
perhaps you were never meant to Musha-chan."
"Demo-"
"Let it go." Wufei glanced down quickly at his wife,
who was resting in his embrace as the two of them also
looked over the ocean. "The onna obviously doesn't
want to explain it, so let her be."
Tensei rolled her eyes. "I don't know if I should be
thanking you Wufei, or be insulted by you."
He just shrugged, returning his attention to the
ocean. "Make what you want of it onna."
Tensei muttered something under her breath. "I
honestly don't know how you put up with him
Musha-chan! The way the two of you are, I'm still
surprised you didn't kill each other long ago."
"Sometimes I wonder as well." Murmured Musha, catching
Tensei's eye a faint smile upon her lips. She was
joking.
Wufei's eyes widened and he stared down at Musha in
near shock. "Nui Shu, nani?"
"Well, you did try to capture me several times during
the war "she responded coyly. "When we stopped
becoming enemies I was under Akki's control, does that
mean we never officially stopped becoming enemies?"
"Nani?!!!
Tensei bit her tongue in a desperate attempt to
swallow her laughter at the look of shock on Wufei's
face.
Musha grinned impishly and kissed Wufei on the cheek,
before stepping back and walking back towards the
street, her body shaking with silent laughter. "Then
again, maybe not."
Wufei's eyes widened faintly, and he straightened up
vastly, as if trying to recover his lost dignity,
before taking off at an almost sprint after Musha.
"ONNA! GET BACK HERE!"
Tensei chuckled softly to herself, before returning
her gaze back to the calm sea before her, that seemed
to stretch to the ends of the Earth.
'They're so happy.' She thought quietly, a smile sad
playing itself upon her lips. 'And they will be happy
forever, something me and Quartre never will have.
Iie, I said that I wouldn't dwell in the past, that I
wouldn't let my grief control me. I love Quartre
enough, to grant him this request.'
She shut her eyes and bowed her head, shedding one
last tear for her soul mate. 'Live your life Tenshi!
Don't be sad anymore onegai! I will always be with
you, and I promise that one day we will see each other
again, and take back all that was lost to us.' That
had been what he'd told her, and whether they were
true or not, she believed his words. Because sometimes
all you could do was believe.
"I promise Quartre, Koibito, I promise. Wait for me."
"Tenshi..." a soft voice murmured.
She froze and her eyes widened. SHe recognized that
voice! She knew it! Demo, it was impossible. THere
was, no way.
But her heart and her soul suggested otherwise, as the
familiar feelings of safety, security and love that
she had been for so long robbed of, came rushing back
to her so quickly and suddenly that it struck her
breathless.
'Iie! Tensei, don'T turn around! You'll only be
setting yourself for a bigger fall when you turn
around and realize that nothings there....' But, her
body seemed to have betrayed her as she slowly turned
around, and was met with the speaker.
And her heart instantly swelled when she did.
Before her stood a young man, perhaps a year older
than her. With blonde hair that was so light it gave
off the impression of being platinum, with blue eyes
that were so deep and joy filled that she found
herself getting lost within them, with hands that were
holding a single bouquet of lilies.
Her eyes widened with disbelief and she found herself
running to him, tears of joy falling from her eyes and
sparkling as they hit the ground.
"QUARTRE!"
*******
NO MORE DRAMA
NO MORE DRAMA
No more drama in my life
*******
In the mysterious journal that had appeared in
Tensei's room, in which l less than three days ago the
pages had been blank and bare, were now filled with a
single statement on the first page. Written in elegant
cursive script, was a single sentence.
December 25, A.C 198.
It was proved that true love holds no boundaries.
*************
So tired, tired of these drama

Weird ne? Well, I hope you enjoyed it Tensei-chan,
gomen if it sucks! And I hope that everyone else that
is reading this enjoys it as well!
