A Missing Heart
Chapter 3
"Where am I?" Usagi questioned. She looked at herself and was surprised to find that she was wearing her Princess Serenity gown. She then looked around the place and all she could see was mist and clouds and many different colours that she doubted existed in the real world.
"Oh my dear bunny..."
"Mother?" She asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it's me." Then Queen Serenity finally revealed herself. "Oh dear Serenity, I'm so sorry for all that has happened."
Usagi gave her mother a soft smile. A smile that she had thought she had forgotten to give after her months of misery. Her eyes widened in alarm. I'm not suppose to be here, I'm supposed to be dead. "Mother, why am I here? Am I not supposed to be dead?"
"I'm sorry, if that was your wish. But it couldn't happen, Serenity. The higher gods had to interfere with your suicide attempt because you're too important and you play an extremely great role. You might not know it, but you are needed in the worlds, you couldn't die. That's why you're here right now."
"So I can never gain peace can I mother? I am cursed to live in pain and suffering." Usagi whispered, she then shook her head miserably to get rid of the thought. "So where am I now, mother? What is this place?"
Queen Serenity had to smile at her daughter's never ending curiosity. "This is the Astral Plane. I was given permission to come here and speak with you of the consequences of your actions. Because of what you had done, your world's future is at stake."
Usagi looked down at her feet in shame. "I'm sorry for that mother, but I just couldn't anymore... I couldn't go on living in that world."
She received a small smile of understanding. "It's alright, dear heart... that's why I'm telling you now that your body is now in a different world... a different dimension. That's why I came here to talk to you in the first place, to tell you that you have been sent into a different dimension... the dimension that he belonged to... the dimension that your senshi sent him back to."
Usagi immediately looked up, the sadness in her eyes lifting. "You mean he's here? You mean that I'll see him again? Oh Kami... it's been so long since I've last seen him."
"Yes, but to punish you of your harsh actions in your world... the higher gods have deemed it so that you will not remember anything of your past as soon as you wake up. You won't remember him or anything at all, it would be like starting over." Queen Serenity replied, already knowing her daughter's response.
"But mother!!! How will I remember him? If I forget everything, I might never find him again. I might..." Usagi felt the tears threatening to fall at the thought of never again seeing him.
Queen Serenity immediately gathered Usagi in her arms. "I know, my dear bunny... but the gods deemed this as your punishment for what you have done. You must think on the bright side, if the two of you were really meant to be, then you'd find a way to each other. Don't worry, all will go well, my dear daughter."
Queen Serenity seemed to hesitate, but then spoke, "My dear bunny... at that dimension you will meet your brother."
"Brother? What brother? You never before mentioned that I had a brother..." Usagi then looked down at herself and realized that she was fading, she looked up in alarm. "What's happening? Why am I fading away?"
"Our time is up, dear daughter." Queen Serenity smiled softly to her daughter. "I wish you luck and remember I love you."
"But wait... I still need to..." Then Usagi disappeared completely.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She felt strange. Like she wasn't aware of her physical body, but she knew it was there. She had the distinct feeling of having a wet cloth on her forehead, but that was it. She then heard the distinct sound of people talking.
"Look she's finally waking up." And she then finally found the strength and opened her eyes.
She saw two people looking at her strangely... like she wasn't supposed to be there... or that she wasn't from this world or something, but that was impossible. Of course, she was from this world. She was... Usagi...
"Are you alright, miss? You look lost and if I may..."
She tuned out the man's words as she tried to finish her thoughts. Her name was Usagi. But after that, she remembered nothing. Only a name that she more than believed was hers. Why couldn't she remember anything else?
She looked up at her surroundings and somehow managed to not panic. She was faced with very unfamiliar surroundings and equally unfamiliar people. What's going on?
"Who are you?" She managed to croak out, her voice feeling unused.
The woman with the short dark blue hair smiled at her softly, while handing her a glass of water. She took it with a grateful smile and drank. Her throat felt so parched and sore. What happened to me?
The woman then spoke as soon as she finished her drink. "Do you know who you are?"
Her eyes widened in surprise at the woman's words. "You mean you don't know who I am?"
"Are we supposed to?"
She shook her head in response. "No... I just thought that you might... since I can't remember anything except for my name. I don't quite understand why though..." Her eyes lowering at the troubling thoughts that entered her mind.
The man looked at her startled. "You don't remember anything?"
She nodded her head. "That's what it seems like." Her mood turning dark.
The woman gave her another soft smile. "My name's Noin and this is Milliardo." Noin replied, while pointing to the pale haired man.
She then finally met their gazes. Finally looking at them truly. The woman Noin seemed kind enough. She looked to be the same age as the other man. Somewhere in their 20s. While she was dark haired and tanned, the man Milliardo, had long, pale hair that framed his face. His bangs shadowing the dark blue eyes that seemed to be studying her as well.
For some reason or another... she felt that she could trust these people.
She gave them in what seemed like her first true smile. Her sapphire blue eyes dazzling, her long golden mane all around her, bangs shadowing her face. "My name's Usagi."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
One Year Later
"So we're going back to Sanc?"
"Yes... well Relena wants me to participate more in the affairs regarding the Sanc Kingdom." Milliardo replied, not bothering to hide his distaste of the situation.
Noin could only laugh at his tone.
"Am I coming as well?" Usagi asked, trying to straighten her tone, to get rid of the laughter that threatened to bubble over as she tried to also not laugh at Milliardo's misfortune.
She had been living with them for the past year. They had come to be some sort of weird combination of older siblings to her, seeing as she didn't have the faintest idea of her past. Only of a name that was as strange, as the circumstances that had caused her to begin her life with them.
Milliardo could only give her a glare, sensing her attempt to hide her mirth. "Yes, you'll be coming as well. And while we're there, you'll be attending the Academy." He could only join Noin in her laughter at the look the blonde got as his words sank in.
"YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL??"
A Week Later
"So what's your sister like?" Usagi asked. Her hundredth question that day.
Milliardo looked uncertain as he answered her question. "I don't know how to describe her. Many people see her in many different lights. So you'll have to base your own opinion of her as soon as you meet her."
Usagi could only shake her head, confused at the answer. "Well ok fine. So... are we there yet?" Milliardo looked at her. And just kept on staring. "Alright, alright fine. I'll be quiet now." Usagi then crossed her arms and pouted.
"Don't worry Usa, we'll be there soon. It's only a few minutes away now." Noin replied, laughter shining through her dark blue eyes after seeing the exchange between Usagi and Milliardo. Those two acted like brothers and sisters. More so than Relena and Milliardo.
The driver then interrupted the silence that had suddenly engulfed the limo. "We're here now, Mr. Peacecraft."
"Finally!!!" Usagi all but yelled out, practically running out of the limo.
They all stepped out of the limo and was instantly greeted by one smiling Relena Peacecraft. "Hello Milliardo. It has been too long." She gave him a stiff hug, as if not use to the action. She then turned her attention to the other two. "It's good to see you again Noin. And I must say, it's a pleasure to finally meet you Usagi."
"Hello Miss Relena." Usagi and Noin replied with a nod of their heads.
Relena laughed and shook her head. "There's no need for that. Just call me Relena. Now let's get all of you settled in."
Then they proceed to walk into the building.
"How come Milliardo and Relena didn't seem all too comfortable with each other?" Usagi whispered to Noin.
"Well, Relena and Milliardo aren't as close as you might think. You and Milliardo act more sibling like than those two." Noin answered. "Don't think about it too much."
The rest of the walk was filled with silence until they reached a set of doors.
"I'll have Pagan show you your rooms while I talk to Milliardo." Relena said. They nodded and followed the butler Pagan.
Usagi was shown into her room and agreed to meet Noin after she unpacked to get familiar with the area. She looked around. "This place is certainly a lot different than home." Usagi then felt the feeling of dread, like something was going to happen and it would change everything.
I wonder if I'll regain my memories again. It would be nice to remember something of my past.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Following Morning
"I don't want to wear this!!! It's so... hideous." Serena screeched.
Milliardo and Noin covered their ears, fear of losing their hearing coming into play. "Usa please, you have to wear it. It's the uniform for the academy. It's a must. You can't get out of not wearing that." Noin replied.
"But... but..."
"No, buts Usagi. Please just wear the uniform and then I can get you to the office so you can get your schedule." Milliardo responded.
Uh oh... he's irritated... "Alright, fine, let's go then." Usagi answered back obediently.
In History Class
"Maxwell you baka, we were almost late because of you." Said a certain Chinese boy with his black hair put into a tight ponytail and his dark black eyes fixed on his braided companion as he went to his sit at the back of the room.
"Cool it Wu-man, are we late? Noooooo... so it's all good." Replied the other boy with his chestnut brown hair in a long braid and his cobalt blue eyes dancing around in merriment, as he took the seat next to the other boy.
"How many times do I have to tell you... no order you not to call me Wu-man. My name is Wufei. Can't you get it into that thick head of yours?" Wufei made a move to stand up.
"I don't know Wu-man, what do you think?" He replied teasingly.
A pale blonde haired boy made a move to interrupt the incoming argument. "Please Duo, Wufei, stop fighting. There's no need for it." His green-blue eyes pleading with the two boys to listen to him.
"Alright Q-man."
"Fine Winner, for now." Wufei replied dejectedly as he made a move to sit down again.
"Quatre, it would be best if you just ignore them." Another boy with his brown hair covering one of his emerald green eyes advised, as he went to sit beside Duo.
"If I did that Trowa, Duo would be dead by now." Quatre sighed, as he took his seat in beside Trowa.
The last boy, who seemed to have come with the group took a seat next to Wufei at the back corner of the room. He had dark brown hair and cold prussian blue eyes. He ignored all that was around him and immediately took out his laptop as soon as he was seated.
"Hey Heero, don't you ever do anything besides go on that laptop? There can't be that many interesting things to do with that thing." Duo asked, but got no reply. Duo was going to proceed and ask another question, when he was suddenly faced with a barrel of a gun.
"Shut up or omae o korosu." Heero said in monotone.
Duo proceeded to duck behind Wufei. "You're such a coward, Maxwell." Wufei criticized.
Not knowing how to reply, Duo stuck out his tongue, earning a sweat drop to appear on anyone that was watching.
Before it got out of hand, Quatre said, "Duo please refrain from performing such childish acts. And Wufei please don't kill him. We need him."
Wufei then started mumbling words in Chinese, undoubtedly cursing the braided-boy in his native tongue.
The teacher was about to speak when a knock was heard at the door.
The door opened to reveal Milliardo Peacecraft?
5 minutes before that happened
"Do I really need to go to school?" Usagi asked for like the hundredth time that morning.
"Yes, Usa. You need an education and this is one of the best schools to get one." Milliardo answered back patiently.
"But I don't want to go to school! I want to stay home and do much more interesting... stuff." She complained.
Milliardo stopped walking and faced her. "Usa, you're going to school and that's final. Please just cooperate. I really don't have time for this." Milliardo stressed out.
Usagi sensing just how tired and stressed out he was, decided not to complain any longer. "Is anything wrong?" She asked concerned. "You know you can tell me."
"No need to worry about me, Usa. Everything's going to be alright."
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure... now here we are. History Class."
"Damn... it's not fair!" Usagi complained.
"I'll go in first and tell the teacher, while you wait here. Understood?" Milliardo asked sternly.
"Yes sir!" Usagi laughed and saluted. Milliardo proceeded to knock on the door and walked steadily into the room, shaking his head to hide his mirth.
The professor, Mr. Lee, turned to Milliardo, surprise shown in his features. "Why hello Mr. Peacecraft."
"Hello Mr. Lee. I came here to tell you of the new student that you are to receive this morning." Milliardo spoke formally.
"Alright then. Where is this new student?"
"She's outside the door. I'll call her in." Usagi seeing her cue to go into the class, walked in.
Milliardo walked by Usagi and whispered, "Behave."
Usagi had to hide her laughter for that remark.
"Class, quiet down. We have a new student today. Please introduce yourself." Mr. Lee instructed.
"Hi! I'm Usagi Merquise." She said excitedly. The teacher looked at her startled, after hearing her name. She understood that look. It was because of her choice of last names.
Merquise... it had been Milliardo's name back in the war... when he went by Zechs Merquise. Noin had told her of their backgrounds... and seeing as how she didn't have a last name, she had asked to use it. Milliardo and Noin seemed surprised at her request, but didn't deny it.
Her eyes swept through the class, as she watched each student study her... except for one. She watched this one with interest. He didn't seem aware of his surroundings, all but ignoring everything. But what drew her attention to this one was the strange feeling that she somehow knew him. Like she should know him like the back of her hand.
Her eyes grew startled at the strange feeling resonating from her chest at watching the guy. I know I should know him, but where?
The silence in the room was deafening, no one was talking. Everyone was looking at her. She chose that time to let her gaze stray from the guy and looked at the class in whole. What? Do I have something on my face or something? Why are they all looking at me like that?
Then an inaudible gasp was heard. Is that really you, Usagi?
The sound of a heavy object falling was heard throughout the room. And everyone turned their attention to the one that had caused the noise.
Usagi, Relena, and the Gundam Pilots are 17. Milliardo and Noin are 26.
So what do you guys think? It's a lot longer than my previous chapters, but since you guys reviewed and everything, I felt that this was the only way I could pay you all back. So thank you all of you and please keep on reviewing. This is the last chance that you guys can vote for who Usagi should be with, so don't forget to vote for who you want her with. Thanx.
