A Missing Heart
Chapter 6
I'm drowning... drowning in his eyes. That was the only way to explain it. Every time she looked at him, especially his eyes, she started feeling weak. She started feeling like she would crumble at any given moment.
And his smile. Kami, his smile. It just adds to his beauty. But he only seems to smile at me, which makes it so much more special. Am I falling for him already?
Usagi was shaken from her thoughts, with his sudden question. "So what's your next class?"
"Um... math. Do you know where it is? Because I doubt that I could get there without getting lost." She asked uncertainly, finally getting her voice back.
"I'll take you there." Heero offered. I'd take you anywhere, if you'd let me.
"No, it's alright. I don't want to be a bother, just tell me where it is."
You can never be a bother. Heero was about to say that, but held his tongue. "No, you won't be a bother that's my next class as well."
Surprise was clearly shown on her features. "Really?" He nodded. "Then lead the way."
He suddenly grabbed her hand initiating a blush to rise to her cheeks. She looked up at him questioningly, then opened her mouth to speak. Heero silenced her with his fingers. A gesture that seemed oddly familiar to Usagi. "Class is almost about to begin. It would be faster this way."
Usagi looked into his eyes and another blush rose to her cheeks. Not trusting her voice, she nodded.
Then she was suddenly pulled along the hallways in an incredibly fast speed, but she barely noticed it. All she could focus on at the moment, was the sparks that initiated every time Heero touched her... and the sparks that were coming from their entwined hands.
Why do I feel this way for him? And it feels so right.
Before she knew it, they finally stopped at a pair of open doors. Hands still entwined. She looked up at him, to thank him, but was startled at the emotion that she saw in those eyes.
They held love and longing? But why would he feel that way for me? Unless...
She immediately stopped thinking as she realized that the distance between them was getting smaller, until she could practically feel his breath on her face. I can't kiss him... I mean, I barely know him, but...
Oh Kami, Usa. I've missed you so much. Heero thought as their lips were finally inches apart.

5 Minutes Before That Happened
"So what's up with Heero? I mean, when he saw that babe at class he looked like he was going to have a heart attack or something... that is if he can even have a heart attack." Duo trailed off, thinking about this new revelation, as they walked to their next class.
"Of course, he can have a heart attack, Duo. Heero's human, just like..." Quatre then trailed off as well, thinking of all those times that Heero had done all those things, that humans, like them couldn't do.
Wufei just shook his head in disgust. How the hell did I end up with bakas like these two? "You two are getting off topic. We were discussing how Yuy could have known that onna, not if he's human or not."
Duo snapped out of his stupor and opened his mouth to speak. "There is no way that Heero could ever know that girl. I mean did you look at her. She was quite a looker. The only type of girls that are attracted to Heero, are the psychopathic stalker kind, like Relena."
"Are you sure about that Duo?" Trowa ever so silently asked.
Duo looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Heero's not one to forget people. So if he knew that girl, then he knew her. It's just a matter of where he met her. That's the real question." By the finality of his tone, it was obvious that he was not going to speak again.
"I don't really think that it's any of our business. So I believe that we should just drop the topic and wait till Heero says something about it." Quatre informed them politely.
Duo looked at him as if he was crazy, and was definitely not afraid to voice his opinion. "Are you crazy? This is priceless. A once in a lifetime opportunity. I will not pass up the opportunity to tease Perfect Soldier boy about his new girlfriend." He announced rather loudly, earning him some looks that seemed to say 'Don't you belong in an asylum instead of this school?' Duo just ignored the looks and went into their next class. Math.
"Why did Yuy want us to leave him behind, if we have the exact same class as him?" Wufei asked as he sat down at his seat.
"He wouldn't explain. He just told us to leave him be." Quatre answered.
"Maybe he stayed to talk to that Usagi chick. I mean, why else would he stay behind?" Duo replied with a small grin on his face.
I can't believe that I'd actually live to see the day that Heero Yuy, Perfect Soldier boy, having a girlfriend. His trademark grin making its way across his face once more, then he suddenly lost the grin. But he deserves it, after everything that he's done, he deserves this chance of happiness.
Suddenly, a face stuck up right in front of Duo, effectively knocking him off his chair. "What the???"
"Where's my Heero?"
Duo looked up and a frown immediately marred his boyish features. "Oh it's you, Relena."
"Well, where's my Heero?" She asked crossly. Looking at all of them expectantly.
Duo then smirked. Time to make some trouble for Perfect Soldier boy. "The last time I saw Heero, he was talking to the new girl. What was her name?" He looked at Quatre, with what only one can call as an evil smirk. Quatre finally getting what Duo was about to do, violently shook his head.
"Duo, don't." He whispered fiercely. "Heero will kill you, if he finds out."
Duo shrugged him off and continued with his little plan. "Oh yeah, her name was Usagi. Yeah, that's it. The one that Milliardo brought in. You know blonde hair in that odd hairstyle... now that I think about it, it looked like two odangos on top of her head." He scratched his head in thought.
Relena finally getting the idea of what Duo was saying, practically had steam coming out of her ears. "Well, what happened Duo?"
The 3 Gundam Pilots, watched in disbelief as Duo created a web of lies that Relena seemed to believe. "What do you think Heero would do to him, if he found out?" Quatre asked, fearing for Duo's safety.
Wufei snorted. "That braided baka would be lucky, if he came out of it alive and still able to have children." (AN. If u don't get this, please don't ask me to explain)
Then they all shivered at the thought of what Heero would and could do to the Deathscythe Pilot.
Finally, the said couple was seen at the door with hands held, getting many surprised looks from the occupants of the room. But what really surprised everyone was how close they were to one another. It looked like they were going to kiss at any moment. Duo was smiling broadly and Relena... well let's just say that Relena's seen better days.
Then a yell more like a screech was heard throughout the whole room. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY HEERO?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Silence once again reigned over the temple. No one was able to speak, fearing that what they had just heard was not true. It can't be true. Was the thought that ran through all their minds.
Then a bitter laugh was heard, startling the occupants of the room. "You have got to be kidding me Setsuna. This is incredibly low of you, to want us to get our hopes up, when you know that nothing can be done to fix the mistake that you all made." Mamoru replied bitterly.
Setsuna shook her head. "I'm afraid that I'm not lying, Mamoru-san. Usagi-chan is indeed alive."
"How can that be possible? We saw her get buried today. We all saw her body." Ami whispered, fresh tears making it down her face.
Makoto nodded her head in agreement, wiping tears away. "Exactly. She can't be alive Setsuna."
"Contrary to what you've seen and what you seem to believe. Usagi-chan is very much alive."
Haruka looked at her in disbelief. "If neko-chan, is alive. Then where is she? And how is it even possible for her to be alive?"
"You all understand how important our Princess is to our world. It seems that she was not allowed to die. It wasn't deemed to happen, so instead of dying she was sent to another dimension." She explained.
"But that doesn't explain the body that was found." Michiru countered.
"I know, but it seemed like nobody here wanted us to know that she is still alive. So in all cases, she is supposed to be dead, to make us believe that she is dead... but when really she is very much alive. Living a different life in a different world." Setsuna explained.
"So that explains it."
Everyone turned to the senshi of Saturn. "What do you mean by that?" Ami asked.
Hotaru was deep in thought then voiced her opinion. "It explains why I didn't feel her die. When you really think about it, none of us felt her die."
Understanding and hope flashed through their faces at the thought of Usagi still being alive.
"But if she is still alive. Then where is she?" Ami asked.
Setsuna sighed and bowed her head in defeat. "That's the problem. I really don't know what world she's in right now. She could be anywhere."
"So what was the use of you telling us about all this, when we don't even have any idea of where Odango is." Rei replied.
Setsuna gave her an irritated look then replied. "I told you this because I thought you would appreciate to know that she's alive and because I'm going to need all of you to help me locate her."
Minako suddenly asked. "You mean you don't know where she is?"
"No, I don't. I just learned that she was alive. I have yet to find out where she is. It seems Queen Serenity and the higher gods know where she is, but I doubt they would be willing to help." She replied irritatingly.
"Why wouldn't they be willing to help? I mean, wouldn't they want Usagi-hime to be here, to create our future world?"
"It seems that when Usagi committed suicide, it didn't come without a price. Nothing can come without a price. Therefore, if they all knew of what Usagi did and allowed her to go to the other world, then they must have done something to her, taken something away from her... as a price for her foolish actions. So as a result, when Usagi entered that other world, she was granted permission by the higher gods because of something that she must have sacrificed." Setsuna explained.
Makoto who was still confused asked, "Which means?"
Setsuna sighed, but before she could reply, Hotaru answered for her. "Which means, that the higher gods were alright with what she did in the end. They must have punished her and done something to her, but in the end they approved of her going to the other world... the other dimension. So in other words, they couldn't care less if we went on looking for her, because in their view, Usa-hime has done everything that they asked and that she is no longer their concern or ours."
Makoto finally getting it, replied with a, "Oh."
"Doesn't that mean that Usagi-chan is no longer needed in this world. That there's no point in her to come back?" Ami asked.
"The higher gods might not care if she stays at that world or comes back here, but we need her to come here. She is vital for our future."
"But why? Couldn't we just leave her alone and just try to create a new future ourselves?" Minako inquired quietly.
Setsuna sighed. "We could... that is if you want to live in a future that is filled with wars and suffering." All of them gave Setsuna a questioning look. "I looked at all the possible futures, which could occur. The only reasonable one to have is the one with Crystal Tokyo and Usagi. All the others... no one could ever live in those circumstances. That is why it is imperative that we get Usagi-chan back."
"So we get Koneko-chan back?" Haruka asked, looking at Michiru with a determined look.
"Yes, we have to." Setsuna replied, earning nods from all around the room.
Mamoru who had been quite throughout the whole discussion suddenly spoke up with an indignant voice. "All of you are fools."
Their heads snapped up. Each of the senshi looked at him, surprise clearly written in their faces.
Finally, Rei questioned him. "What do you mean, Mamoru-san? I thought that you would be glad if we went to get Odango."
Mamoru shook his head in disgust. "Don't any of you get it?" He looked each of them in the eye and was annoyed at the clueless look that almost all of them were giving him. "If you brought Usako back. She'd hate each and every one of you even more than she did when she was here." They all flinched at the venom in his voice and the words that he spoke.
"But Mamoru-san, didn't you hear what Setsuna said. We need Usagi-chan here. It can't be helped."
Mamoru turned his glare at Ami, causing the blue haired girl to cower. "Like hell it can't be helped." All of them again flinched at his tone of voice. "All of us... all of you have the power to change the future. You don't need Usako here. The only reason that you guys want Usako back is because if she comes back, you guys hardly have anything to do, since everything would be handed over to her."
Michiru shook her head. "That's not true, Mamoru-san. We're only doing it to ensure our future."
"Yes, to ensure our future. But at the cost of Usako's happiness." Mamoru shook his head and tears once more made it down his face. "Do what you want... but just know that I will not get involved in this."
Then all of the senshi watched as their prince walked away.
Setsuna then cleared her throat and spoke. "Mamoru has voiced his opinion at this and has come to the decision that he will not be helping." Then she stared each of them down. "Now who will follow in his footsteps and leave as well?"
So??? What do you all think? I hope you guys are happy with this. Please keep on reviewing. Thanx.
