"I feel like the person I love is standing in the way. I wonder if I'm being deceived. Love ends when people drift apart. I envision that something large has bended. When I think that, my heart it wounded, and I become unable to stand it.

Sometimes I think I want to be alone, and be free. But maybe I won't do that, because I believe in him. Because I love him. I need him. "Loneliness"... I hate words like that. I always say what I'm thinking, so often I'm disliked. But, that is my gentle feeling. I wonder if it's wrong for me to say things bluntly to the person I can love and believe in.

Maybe it's not created by intimate people, who love each other and believe in their relationship. I feel that when people in love appreciate each other's faults, intimacy is born and nurtured.

Hino Rei. I prefer love hot like a flame. I want to fall in passionate love. I want passionate love, burning thunderously like a flame."

Journal, Date? Who Cares.

I am Relena Peacecraft. Presentation of Peace. Princess of Cinq Kingdom. Vice Foreign Minister. I have not only the world, but space on my shoulders as well. I am 19 years old. I have had years of this responsibility. I don't want it anymore. I don't want to be a princess. I don't want to be the world's puppet. I want to be a girl. I want to live as others. I want to go on my first date, and go out with boys, and have crushes. I want a real friend. Some one I can talk to. Some one who understands me, and my pain. I want Heero. I want him to open up to me, to talk and act like he has feelings for me, for anyone. When I sleep at night, I dream of a soul who shares my secret pain. She is the spirit of fire. Raven Hair. Burning Eyes. She watches as her friends die for her princess over and over. She watches as her princess die for her friends over and over. She is not a princess, or a leader. But the world rests on her shoulders, never-the- less……She tells me to hold on, to be the leader they want of me. But every day I feel myself slipping………………

Journal Date?……….

I can't do it anymore. It's too much for a sixteen year old. I can't do it anymore.

Journal Date? I don't care

Heero, why do you reserve your self from me? Am I that repulsive to you? I'm not pretty. I have never been pretty. My hair is too common a color. My eyes are lifeless from the exhausting life I lead. I have no girlish charm anymore. I have no hope in humanity anymore. My innocence has been squeezed from me. I never had a chance to be a girl…..

Journal Date: April 2, AC 200

Trowa and Wufei went off-roading in a dangerous area. Thinking they had the devils luck, Trowa tried to jump a culvert….and fell 40 feet to his death. Wufei was paralyzed in the hospital.

Trowa's funeral was horrible. Then, in a flash of light, the goddess of power came, and healed him. Trowa and the people at the funeral have no recollection of what happened. But I remember her. She told me, that the goddess of spirit would come and heal the soul of the broken down dragon. Wufei is still paralyzed, and only I know why.

Quatre was assassinated by one of the forty Maganacs. He died instantly by a shot in the head. I tried to save him, and I called upon my angel. She didn't come, but another did. The goddess of wisdom. She came the name of the Fire Angel, and healed Quatre. No one remembers this, but I do.

Journal Date? April 21, AC 201

I'm breaking down. I can't handle it anymore. I can no longer be Relena Dorlian! I'm leaving this world, and this society. No one will miss me. Heero hasn't spoken to me in 3 years. Quatre hasn't spoken to me in a year. Duo hasn't spoken to me in 4 years. Milliardo only visits occasionally. I will no longer be the pacifist princess. I will become my angel. I will one with Hino Rei.

Rei Hino, Or Relena Dorlian, read the journal entries over again and again. They made no sense.

Rei began to pace around Relena's large room. What did these mean? She walked over to the large vanity, which was covered in miscellaneous female potions and powders. Rei looked over herself in the mirror. Her hair had changed color. It was now back to her raven color. Her eyes were dark violet. When night came around, She was Rei Hino, Shinto priestess. But by dawn, She was back to being Relena Dorlian. She had been in this stuffy mansion for a week. Rei had been to many socials and parties, and meetings. She could see what Relena meant.

" WAH! PAPA!!!" A little girl of but three years sat on the ground, wailing. Her small hands seemed latched onto her knee, which had a large, but thin, scrape on it. Blood slowly welled up, and as the injury started to bleed, the little one started sobbing louder. Her raven curls were done up in pigtails. Her eyes were violet. She wore a little shirt and a short, puffy skirt, which was stained with numerous stains from many adventures.

" PAPA!! PAPA!!" She lifted her arms to a young man. His blue eyes twinkled with concern.

"Taru-chan, what's wrong?"

" I hurt my knee, Quatre- Otosan!" The little girl cried, her eyes tearing. Quatre smiled sympathetically, and picked her up. The sunshine caught his hair as he walked to a bench.

Wufei Chang, once a Gundam Pilot, once a Preventer, sat in a wheel chair, watching the field of flowers, where he had buried the pieces of the Gundam Altron, or Nataku. He had become a bitter person. He had been paralyzed in a battle, and was never able to fight for justice again. He missed his wife, Nataku. She was beautiful with blazing eyes, and raven hair. She had an impossible spirit. And was the strongest of the Long Clan. It's been 10, maybe 11 years since she died. But she still haunted him…

Trowa Barton fed the lions in the cages, gently stroking and patting their heads. He was thinking of when he was young, when he was one of the greatest mobile suit pilots in the world. He had been every inch a soldier. Fearless, Emotionless, strong. He remembered his one time family, Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Quatre Winner, Wufei Chang. He hadn't spoken to them in years. But he knew they were all right.

" DAMN IT, USAGI!" Duo screamed, as he saw what happened to his house while he was at work. The whole place was spotless. Everything was in its place. He would never be able to find anything now. Duo ran to his room, and let out a shriek. Clean too. Shit. He would kill her when he found her. Duo walked to the kitchen and got himself something to eat. Usagi had been taking a shower, and was currently belting out "Nagareboshi he."

"You are always shining, 

Your smile is just like a tiny star. 

I cherish it very much.

That day I couldn't protect you, 

I can only hold my remorseful tears, 

What was left was pain.."

Duo cringed, listening to the J-pop Rhythms and beats. Usagi loved to sing. Duo, with his hands over his ears, was trying to eat his dinner of spaghetti.

" I'm so going to kill Heero for this one."

Rei looked at all the pictures around the white and pink room. One of a young blonde boy hugging a tall, emerald eyed brunette. The brunette looked kind of embarrassed and was a cute shade of pink. The blonde, however, was very open in his joy. They were maybe 16…17 in the picture. Next to that one was two different boys fighting. One of them had a long braid, and sparkling violet eyes, much like her own. The other had raven hair and searching eyes, which were currently closed in boredum. The braided boy was tugging on the others arm. Rei chuckled. The next picture had one alone. He was sleeping underneath a sakura tree. His face was covered in blossoms, and his hair was messy. The leaves cast odd patches of shadows on him. He was very strongly built.

" He seems familiar. Oh well."

Rei walked to the four post satin-curtained bed. She laid down and fell asleep amongst feathery pillows. Unknown to her, a pair of Prussian eyes were watching her.

" Who is she?"
