Disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing or 'Breathe'.
Author's Notes: Gomen nasai! My sister said that people would give up on me if I rewrote this, demo I didn't really like it when I reread it a couple of minutes ago. I really hope that people won't get mad at me, please continue reviewing! I have ten reviews total so far, after I posted the original version of this chapter. I think they delete reviews when I replace a chapter. So, please review again! It'll boost my spirits a little even if I only get one review.

~*~*~*~*~
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I've
Never been this swept away
~*~*~*~*~

A girl, with long silvery-blonde hair, drove carefully along a road. She was wearing a light blue winter jacket with matching blue gloves. A thin layer of snow had settled onto her car, growing thicker with every passing minute. Her hair was pulled back from her face by two sapphire barrettes, and her cheeks were red from the cold. Her crystal blue eyes had a faraway look in them as she remembered a relationship that had begun a few months ago.

She had met him during her last ten days at the ski resort. The doctors had said that she had gone into shock when her foster family had been murdered, supposedly right in front of her eyes. They told her, that since she had been deeply attatched to them, her mind had immediately blocked all memories leading up to that event. In the end, when they realized she couldn't become the girl she had been before the accident, they had released her from their care. Before she left, one of the doctors had reccomended a vacation, having nothing else to do before she tried to start over, she had taken his advice.

~*~*~*~*~
All my thoughts seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
~*~*~*~*~

They had started out as friends, but as the week progressed, she had slowly fallen in love. At first, she had rejected the mere thought of being in love. Then, she had avoided him as much as possible. Finally, after the third day avoiding him, he confronted her. She had refused to speak to him at first, but he kept pestering her, and finally she gave up. That was the beginning of their relationship. For the last three days she had at the resort, she was rarely seen without him. And then, she had to leave. Their parting had been short but painful. Every word of their conversation was embedded in her mind.

The girl stepped on the brakes as a deer suddenly jumped out onto the road. It stood there, paralyzed by the headlights. The girl growled softly, and honked, scaring the animal, who soon disappeared into the darkness. She let out the breath she had been holding and continued along the road. She made a turn, a few minutes later, on to another road, that was supposed to lead her to the Winner residence.

She had received information from various sources that five "kawaii" guys were currently living there. Her co-worker, Julie, had told her that the last time they had been there was three years ago. Every girl in her apartment building had been bragging to each other that they would 'hook' up with one of them.

Five minutes later, she parked the car on the driveway of the mansion. She opened the door and got out. For a few moments, she stood there staring at the mansion in front of her. It was covered in mulit-colored Christmas lights and plenty of Christmas wreaths. The front yard had a colorful display of reindeer pulling a sleigh.

She walked, hesitantly, up the sidewalk, leaving footprints in the untouched snow. She was about to ring the doorbell, when the door swung open.

"I highly doubt it's another one of those girls, Quatre." a hauntingly familiar voice spoke, "They wouldn't come so..." violet eyes widened as the speaker saw the girl standing on the doorstep.

Crystal blue eyes locked with the violet ones, both pairs of eyes were filled with shock. The braided boy seemed at a loss for words but he found them again.

"Usa-chan?" he whispered, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Konban wa, Duo." the girl answered softly, "Long time no see, eh?"

"H..h..hai." the boy said weakly, "Long time no see."

~*~*~*~*~
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
~*~*~*~*~

Silence surrounded the couple as they both stared at each other. Finally, Duo stepped out of the doorway and into the ankle-deep snow. Usagi shifted and the snow that had collected on her tumbled to the ground. That movement had brought her closer to Duo, and she fidgeted uneasily. Then, she stood on tip-toe and kissed him unexpectedly. She pulled back moments later.

"Duo," she whispered softly, looking away from him, "ai...ai shiteru."

She waited silently for his response. When none came, she ventured a timid look at him. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Usa-chan, you can hardly call that a kiss." he murmured, stepping closer to her.

Usagi let out the breath she had been holding before turning to him, her eyes sparkling with mischief, "Then show me what one is, eh, D-chan?" she whispered leaning towards him.

They pulled back moments later, breathless, when someone coughed politely. They both turned towards the doorway and saw a blonde, Arabian boy, fighting off a blush. Usagi giggled at the look of utter surprise on his face.

"Usagi?" the boy asked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Konban wa, Quatre-sama." Usagi answered calmly, "I heard there were a bunch of bishoonen living here."

"So that's why all those girls started showing up, right Usa-chan?" Duo whispered in her ear.

~*~*~*~*~
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
I'm closer than I've ever felt before
And I know
And you know
There's no need for words right now
~*~*~*~*~

"Why don't you come join us?" Quatre offered, "I'm sure the others wouldn't mind."

"Sure, why not?" Usagi shrugged and entered the mansion, brushing off the layer of snow that had accumalated on her.

Duo followed, shedding snow as he moved. Usagi took off her jacket and hanged it on the coat rack by the door. Underneath it, she was wearing a red turtle-neck and black pants. Around her neck, hung three lockets. Two of them were gold, the last one was silver. She noticed for the first time that Duo was wearing a silver cross around his neck, something about it tickled the back of her mind. It seemed, so...so...familiar.

"Duo, where'd you get that?" Usagi asked as she unconsciously fingered the silver locket on her neck, "I don't remember seeing it on you before."

Duo seemed uncomfortable while he answered, "It's a keepsake. It opens a locket I gave a friend a long time ago."

Usagi was taken aback by his answer and she quickly changed the subject, "So, should we follow Quatre?"

"Well, Quatre DOES know where everything is in this house." Duo looked around, "Where is he?"

"Ummm...I think he went that way." Usagi pointed towards the corridor on the left, "...Or maybe that way." she pointed in another direction.

"That leaves us with one choice..." Duo muttered, "WU-MAN!!!!!"

Usagi shrank back as a very unpleasant answer came back. Three minutes later, a very pissed off Chinese boy arrived in the hallway, his katana drawn.

"Wu-fers!" Usagi shrieked, tackling him before he could do any harm.

"Onna! Get off of me!!!" Wufei growled, "This is injustice! You already have a boyfriend!"

Usagi blinked at this sudden outburst before getting up and tackling Duo, "D-chan, Wu-fers is hitting on me!!" she whined.

~*~*~*~*~
'Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
Suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
~*~*~*~*~

Twenty minutes later, they had finally arrived safely into the lounge. With Quatre's help, Usagi had managed to fend off Wufei, who had been trying to kill her after she had said he was hitting on her. Now, Usagi was chatting away happily while sitting on Duo's lap.

"...and now there's a very high amount of money for the first one to hook up with you guys. Practically every girl, that's single in my apartment complex has gone missing while they all search for the five bishoonen that are currently living here." Usagi finished off, "I'm very happy they're all gone. They give me a headache with all their chatter."

"Well, I'm not happy they're here." Duo grumbled, "I can't even eat a decent meal anymore."

"Maxwell, you haven't been eating a decent meal, ever since this onna left." Wufei pointed out.

Duo winced noticeably at Wufei's comment. He steeled himself for Usagi's reply. When none came, he ventured a look downwards towards Usagi. She had fallen asleep, he let out a sigh of relief. At least he wouldn't have to face her...yet.

Hiiro studied the girl using Duo as a mattress. He felt like he knew her from somewhere but he couldn't quite place it. Just then, his laptop beeped, distracting him from his recent train of thought.

"...Accept or Decline?"

"Mission Accepted." Hiiro stated in a perfect montone, he got up and talked quietly with Quatre for a moment.

"Duo, you're staying here with Usagi." Quatre said at last, "We can't leave her alone in here without one of us. And since you're the closest one too her..."

"Hai." Duo felt a little put out as he watched the rest of the pilots leave.

'She's been losing weight.' he thought as he picked her up and left the room.

Five minutes later, they arrived in Duo's room and he placed her on his bed. He removed the cross that hung from his neck and looked at it for a second before finally coming to a decision. Duo's fingers inserted the cross into a small, almost invisible, keyhole on the silver locket that hung from Usagi's neck. The locket opened smoothly, and inside he saw what he had been expecting all along. Inside the locket, there was a small heart-shaped picture of seven-year-old Duo giving six-year-old Usagi bunny ears in front of the camera. He pulled back and quickly shut the locket as Usagi stirred.

~*~*~*~*~
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Usagi woke up as the person beside her stirred. Her eyes widened and she turned to see who was next her.

'He looks adorable when he's asleep.' she thought as she studied Duo.

She sighed and dropped off to sleep again and she unconsciously wrapped her arms around him, in a death grip.
