THE NEW ERA

CHAPTER SEVEN: EYES SHOW ALL

Usagi wandered the halls of the Preventors Headquarters. Her head was facing down towards the ground; she practically walked around aimlessly. Until, of course, she bumped into someone.

"Sorry," she apologized as she looked up to ice blue eyes of a handsome gentleman.

"It's all right Miss?" he asked.

"Usagi Tsukino, you?" she introduced.

"Zechs Marquis," the man replied.

'Brave, strong, and protective. He's almost the perfect guy,' Usagi thought as she read his eyes.

"You're new," Zech stated.

Usagi snapped out of her little world and replied, "Yeah, I work with the gundam pilots."

Zechs nodded.

"Hey Usagi!" a voice shouted.

Usagi turned around to see Duo waving his hand with the other four following him.

She looked at Wufei, who ignored her, as she smiled but then something caught her attention. Heero and Zechs were staring at each other as if they were ripping the other's head off or something.

Trowa noticed this too but kept silent to see what would happen as Wufei stayed calm. Quatre smiled back at Usagi as Duo winked at her.

"Heero," Zechs said.

"Zechs," Heero replied with a nod. Then there was an eerie silence.

Usagi's eyes switched from Heero to Zechs and back. 'They hate each other... wonder why?' she thought as the two continued to stare at each other.

"Well I see you guys know each other," Usagi spoke up.

"Yep, from our last war," Duo replied

**RELENA**

Relena sat in a room unnerved with the idea of an eight year old looking at her with a smirk on her face.

"Miss Relena, I'm sure your angry at me. But you must understand it's not you I want," Mariameia said calmly.

Relena's eyes widened, "You don't want me?"

Mariameia nodded.

"But... I'm practically the most important person there is. With me as you hostage the world is at your feet," Relenasaid, troubled.

The girl giggled, "Think Vice Minister, think. Who would be more valuable then you?"

Relena gasped, "The world leaders?"

At that Mariameia laughed out loud, "Close, but not close enough." The girl's face darkened even more as she spoke again her voice was a bit haunting, "Think harder Miss Relena."

Relena was deep in thought by now, 'Not me... not the world leaders... who does she want?', "The gundam pilots?"

Mariameia smirk grew as she said, "Who would of thought that I could get the peace princess to start guessing?"

"You don't want the gundams?" Relena asked while sitting on the chair eagerly.

"Of course not. Not when there's bigger fish to fry. I already have her senshis, all I need is the trump card," Mariameia said with confident.

"Senshis?" Relena murmured in confusion as the girl stood up and looked down at her.

"Yes. Senshis. They are soldiers of the planets who fight for love and justice, protectors of the stars and our solar system. Who are they?" Mariameia asked.

"The sailor senshis!" Relena gasped.

Mariameia smiled, "Yes! They are the sailor senshis. They protected us for many years and more to come. And who can over come them?"

Relena sat there with no clue, but then spoke up, "Sailor Moon?"

Mariameia frowned, "No. Yet again you are so close, but no."

"Why are you toying with me!" Relena shouted and stood up.

The girl narrowed her eyes at the vice minister as ten soldiers surrounded the duo, "Careful Relena I have many people here who wouldn't give mercy to you." With the wave of her hand the soldiers went out of the room and shut the door.

Relena sat down and breathed slowly to calm down and then asked, "Who is it that you want?"

Mariameia sat down, closed her eyes and asked, "Miss Relena, do you remember the last battle the sailor senshi fought?"

Relena nodded silently as her narrowed eyes looked at the girl.

"I want the golden senshi," Mariameia said with a smile.

Relena eyes widened, "Sailor Galixia."

"Longing to warn her?" asked Mariameia.

Relena looked at her and asked, "How do you know?"

"Eyes show all, Ms. Relena."

**USAGI**

"So you're actually Relena's brother?" Usagi asked in astonishment.

Zechs nodded.

Usagi frowned and asked, "So you're going to help out this war?"

"Yes I am," he replied then walked slowly towards the door entrance to go outside.

Usagi didn't understand him when he practically stared down everyone that crossed his path. In fact she didn't quite understand this war... she knew Mariameia was after something much greater than the universe... she was after the Cosmos system.

**OUTSIDE**

Zechs stared at the endless sky of blue... not knowing what was in store for him... all he knew was that he needed desperately to save the only living heir to the Peacecraft throne cause he sure as hell not taking the place.

"Thinking of your sister?" the same enticing voice asked.

"Why do you ask Usagi?" he replied.

"Because it's quite obvious that you're worried about her," she said.

He smirked while turning to face her, "Really?"

She smirked back, "Yep."

Zechs was hypnotized by the fact that she could read his eyes as he could read her eyes. How did he know? He read it in her eyes, duh! What attracted him the most were those savoring lips that dared him to react... and she knew he would react... the eyes showed all.

Smirking for the last time he moved in and captured those tempting lips as peace washed over him. He then traced the outline of her lip with his tongue all the while nibbling on her lower lip as he stored her taste in his brain to forever remember.

Usagi didn't know about the kiss... she didn't even have time to read his eyes to tell. It never had occurred to her that this would happen at all as the memories of Mamoru's harsh kisses came into mind... that was when she pulled away from his chocolate tasting mouth.

He looked at her and said, "Your eyes show all, Usagi, but you're still a tough one to read. All I know is that you had a brutal past like me. Remember eyes show all." With that he walked away with that advice swimming in Usagi's head.

END!
