Heh heh heh heh I've decided to start writing this right after I posted the prologue. I checked the reviews for the other two....I haven't decided whether or not to continue them....tell me if you want me to!
Gundam Pilots: 18
Nanori/Hiryuu Yuuyakeno: 18

Mystery partner: 17
On the names and codenames:
Nanori Means 'Name" and is my original characters name
Hiryuu Yuuyakeno means 'Dragon of the Sunset" and is her codename
Ryou Yozorano means 'Diamond of the Night Sky' and is Nanori's partner's codename
The codenames are written above in the traditional English way, first then last name, as opposed to the traditional Japanese way, last then first name.
Last time:
Grinning at the soft purr of the two hundred year old car's engine, she backed out and headed off to the airport, where she would catch a shuttle craft to the Sanq kingdom. It was across the Pacific Ocean, where Crystal Tokyo was once located, from her dorm at the UCLA.
Chapter 1:Over the River and Through the Woods, to Relena's House We Go
Nanori stopped to get a bite of early breakfast from one of the vending machines in the pristine hallway of San Diego's International Airport. She would have to wait for the breakfast on the shuttle craft if she wanted any sustenance, for all the restaurants and gift shops were closed at three in the morning. Looking down the desolate hallway, she made sure no one was visible and stripped the belts and harness containing her guns and ammo off of her body and placed them into her space pocket. She would get them after she went through the airport security. For now, she would have to depend on her throwing knives if anyone was to attack her. They were made of ivory and gundanium, which was not detectable with a metal detector. Glancing back up the hallway, she made sure no one had seen her, and that the security cameras had not pivoted towards her. Satisfied she started off towards the automated check-in centers after grabbing her poptarts and pack of gum from the vending machine. Walking down the deserted hallways she was looking for anything that moved, or jumped out at her so that she could not be caught off guard. Over the years, many people had been sent to eliminate her, some in public places. Now would be the perfect time for someone to kill her, but she couldn't let that happen. Ahead of her, large pillars with touch screens, and miniature printers stood in their little cubicles, illuminating them in a pale blue light. She chose one that faced the wall and touched the start button.
"Please select destination." The automated female voice said in a rather quiet tone that was hard to hear during the day.
"Peacecraft Academy Spaceport in the Sanq Kingdom." Nanori stated quietly.
"Please select desired departure time." Said the computer in the same annoying voice.
"Soonest available departure time is preferable."
"Please enter number of seats desired." Nanori touched the number one on the computer screen. "Please enter baggage volume on scale zero to five." All she was transporting was herself, she was just barely able to fit her car into the space pocket, so she tapped the zero on the screen. "Please state name and identifier number located in the right hand corner of the screen."
"Yuuyakeno Hiryuu. P248s9." Nanori calmly pulled out her wallet as the ticket information was read to her.
"Yuuyakeno Hiryuu. P248s9. Gate D13. Non-stop one way ticket. Departure at 3:45 am. Seat D row 1. 234 American dollars. Thank you." Nanori frowned as it mispronounced her codename and fed the crisp bills into the machine. It printed out her ticket and she took it quickly. Listening as foot steps approached the console from the other side. She moved around it and caught a glimpse of pale, almost white blond hair that she had only seen once in her lifetime; on a certain princess. Moving further around the console she confirmed that it was indeed Ryou's, her partner's, sister. She also noticed a tall braided man standing in the shadows watching the princess and her as well from the other side of the room. She assumed it was the princess's body guard and discreetly checked for signs of weaponry. All she could identify was the slight curve of a gun handle on the inside of his jacket pocket, invisible unless you knew what to look for.
"Hello Relena." Nanori whispered only loud enough for Relena to hear her without taking her eyes off the bodyguard.
"Nanori?!" Relena murmured in surprise.
"Hai."
"What are you doing here?" Relena asked tilting her head questioningly and continued to order her ticket.
"I ask the same of you, and why do you only have one bodyguard?"
Relena sighed. "I was here to go to a private peace conference with some of America's government officials. As to why I only have one body guard, I only need one. I received as much training from Dr. M. as you and my sister did." She reminded Nanori. Nanori nodded in confirmation. "Will you answer my question now? Why are you here, and where is my sister? I haven't talked to her in many years."
"Mission." Was all Nanori said. It was Relena's turn to nod.
"Where are you going, if Ryou is on a mission?" Relena pulled her ticket from the machine and started walking. Nanori watched the bodyguard become more alert as he watched her suspiciously.
"With you."
"I see..." Relena motioned to her bodyguard to join them and began to walk towards the security hall that would take then to the D terminal. "Would you like to meet my body guard?"
Nanori shrugged. "I might as well. Is he new? I don't recognize him." Nanori narrowed her eyes, 'Why does Relena have a Gundam pilot as her bodyguard? They're supposed to be protecting the colonies.' She thought.
"Hey Duo! I'd like you to meet..." Relena glanced at Nanori and she nodded. "...my friend Nanori." She said in English.
"Hello pretty lady! I'm Duo Maxwell. I may run, and I may hide, but I never tell a lie. You're one of the hottest babes I've ever laid eyes on!" Duo grinned at Nanori. Relena giggled as Nanori growled at Duo for calling her a babe.
Duo's Point of View:
'Awe man. How did I ever get stuck with psycho-chick duty?' Duo groaned as he watched the figure on the other side of the ticket console approach Relena. He saw her look him over and did the same. 'Tall Japanese chick, too bad she's wearing a trench coat. Those spandex pants look good on her. She actually reminds me of Hiiro, with her dark brown hair. It falls into her eyes the same way Hiiro's does! Weird. If her eyes were blue instead of ... What color are they anyhow? Its like they can't decide whether to be brown or green. And why is she staring at me still?!' He watched as Relena motioned for him to join them and he walked towards the security hall they were heading towards. As he caught up with them, he overheard the end of what the new chic was saying.
"...new? I don't recognize him." She narrowed her eyes slightly.
""Hey Duo! I'd like you to meet..." Relena glanced at the chic and she nodded. "...my friend Nanori." She said in English.
'Why did she hesitate before introducing her?' he thought. "Hello pretty lady! I'm Duo Maxwell. I may run, and I may hide, but I never tell a lie. You're one of the hottest babes I've ever laid eyes on!" Duo grinned at Nanori. Relena giggled as Nanori growled at Duo. "Whoa! Wild babe!" Duo exclaimed putting his hands up showing he didn't mean any harm. Relena burst out laughing.
"Don't you know its considered sexual harassment to call a woman babe?" Nanori said in a monotone voice exactly like Hiiro's.
"Sorry babe, but I can't lie." Duo said, openly flirting. He only got a glare in return. 'She could almost be Hiiro's twin with that glare! Creepy!' Relena dropped to her knees she was laughing so hard.
Nanori's P.O.V.:
"Sorry babe, but I can't lie." Duo said.
'Kami-sama! I'm going to be stuck with these him for the next two hours?!' Nanori thought incredulously, and glared at Duo for his last comment. As they arrived at the Security hall, she had to stop and wait for Relena and Duo to put everything on the conveyer belt to be scanned. She walked through, then waited for them to do the same and re-gather their things. The walk to the gate was silent, but the sweet silence was broken not two minutes after they sat down.
"I'm bored. How long is this flight gonna take? Is Nanori going with us? Where are ya going Nanori? Where ya staying while your there? Meeting anyone? You have a boyfriend?" Duo started his incessant chattering.
"Hnn." Nanori grunted.
"You remind me of my friend Hiiro. You look like him, glare like him and even speak like him. Sometimes. I bet you know more card games then him. Do you carry around a laptop? You don't look like you do."
"Hnn."
"How do you know Relena? How old are you? Do you go to school? Will you be going to Relena's school? I pity with you if you do. Do you know how boring it is? Probably not. Let me tell you."
"Hnn."
"First, the girl's uniforms are all pink. Do you like the color pink? Its okay, I think. Not that I like it or would ever wear it. Do you like pink? I bet you don't if you're anything like Hiiro. At least your not like Trowa, who never talks. Or even worse, Wu-man! Now there's a real nutcase. He never laughs, just chases me around with his katana, threatening to cut of my braid! Do you know how hard it is to grow a braid this long?"
"Duo." Nanori growled.
"What?"
"Shut Up!" Relena hissed.
"Sorry." Duo frowned, and stopped chattering for all of thirty seconds. "Do you want to play a card game?" Relena shook her head and Nanori just glared. "Awe...Why not?" A stewardess walked up and told them that the shuttle was ready, if they would just follow her, she'd take them to it. Duo drooled over the pretty stewardess.
'Damn, I let my concentration slip! Now I understand why this 'Wu-man' would want to cut off Duo's braid. He is extremely distracting. That stewardess was able to walk up unnoticed. I may need to restrain Duo if I am to protect the princess on this trip. Obviously, he isn't going to do it if our pilot is female.' Nanori thought as she walked, her trench coat billowing out behind her, after Relena, Duo, and the stewardess. She walked as if she were a hunting cat, completely graceful and extremely alert. The stewardess led them out onto the shuttle pad and stopped.
"If you would please wait here, I will open the passenger door." She climbed into the cockpit, then back out with a loaded gun pointed at Relena. "Hands up!" she yelled. Nanori glared at her and made it look like she was lifting her hands up, but then flung one of her throwing knives through the woman's wrist. She screamed in pain and dropped the gun, clutching her wrist. Nanori watched as the woman started running back to the terminal, then fell as Duo's gun fired a bullet. Duo looked at Nanori, completely stunned. He hadn't seen where the knife appeared from. He had moved in front of Relena to protect her with his body, which was considerably larger than hers. Since he was facing away from her. He wasn't aware of her movements until after he shot the stewardess.
Okay! Soo...now I have another chapter done, and its only bout four hours since I posted the last one! How's that for a record? Sorry to all those who wanted me to bash Relena, but I refuse to believe anyone can be the way they portray her. So, I am adding a few twists to her character as you may have noticed. And for those of you who are wondering who Ryou is, you'll most likely find out in the next chapter. For still others who may be wondering when this is going to become a crossover, I say again, hopefully in the next chapter. All reviews are welcome, even flames, which I usually regard as constructive criticism, unless I've had a bad day. Ja for now!
