*Heero was on a mission: Locate Usagi and bring her back. He was searching through the
woods she would likely be in, when he heard the sound of water falling. Although it was very soft,
as though water was falling on ice. He headed toward that direction and saw a glimpse of water
through the green branches of the evergreens and other trees. Walking closer, he was ready to walk
past the tree line, when he accidently crunched some leaves. Ignoring the fact that he did so, he
broke through the wood edge and into the clearing.
At first he had no idea what he was looking at. It looked like an animal bent down drinking
from the lake. But that couldn't be it because the edge of the lake was frozen, making it impossible
for an animal to drink from. He looked closer and finally realized what, or rather who, it was.
Usagi. And just at that moment when his mind struck recognition, she turned around and made eye
contact. She shot up from her previous position with a shocked, startled and ... something else he
couldn't decipher... look on her face. She became shades paler and looked as though she was going
to faint, which worried him. But what made him absolutely fear for her was far worse, she fell
backward into the partly frozen lake.
Rushing over to the lake and stumbling on the way, he was at the edge of the lake where
Usagi had been in an instant. He could not see her from where he was. Not caring about anything
else, he dove into the lake and scanned the area. She was no where in sight. He was freezing. This
water had to be no more than 5 degrees above 0. But that didn't stop him from finding her. Nothing
would, or ever could.
Swimming deeper into the lake, he continued his search. But still, she was not to be found.
He needed air. Badly. Against the ice above him that was keeping him trapped underwater, he
pounded with his fists. It must not have been very thick, for he broke through and pushed to the
surface. His body was telling him to reach land and build a fire. To stop before he got frostbite. Or
died from lack of air. Or both. But the thing that kept him going was his heart. It over powered his
mind by miles and made him dive below once again in his pursuit.
There she was. Right below him. He knew for a fact she hadn't been there before. But now she
was. People say love can move mountains. Well, in this case, love moved Usagi. He pulled her up
and pushed her to the top. But when they reached the top, she didn't pull in a lung full of air as he
did. Using the air he had just taken in, he pushed his mouth against Usagi's and blew the air into
her lungs. Covering her mouth and plunging her nose, he swam back under water, going to the
opening where she had fallen through.
He first pushed her onto land, and after making sure she wouldn't fall in once he let go, he
pulled himself out. He had to do something to warm her up. And he needed to get her out of those
clothes before she died from temperature loss. He found a place to lay her on the grass.
Undoing and taking off her clothes, he left her laying there. If he had left her in her sopping wet
clothes, there would have been no hope for recovery. He wished he had something to cover
her with, partially protecting her from the elements, while he looked for wood to build a fire.
Then he remembered his pack. He roughly yanked it open and pulled out his sleeping bag. He laid
Usagi in it and folded it over, thoroughly covering her. Once doing all that could be done for her at
this moment, he searched for sticks and logs.
It was dusk, with the sun barely showing over the mountain, providing little light. Another
ten minutes and the light disappeared. He was angry at the sun for having to set. How was he to
find the wood without light? The moon could help him somewhat. Looking up, he saw a new moon.
The moon bore no light. Well, the sun didn't help and the moon couldn't. He was at a loss as to
knowing what to do. Wait a second. He saw light! A small area was lit with light. Walking over to
it, he saw an opening in a boulder that had light pouring through. He looked inside and saw that
this was wear she lived. The sun setting and the moon not shining suddenly became something
he was very grateful for. For, if there was light, he would not have discovered her place.
He ran like an cheetah back to Usagi and carried her back to her home. He entered and
pulled her up into the boulder. She was placed by the fire and uncovered so the warmth would
seep into her skin. Walking back to where he had so suddenly ditched his pack, he retrieved it and
brought it back to where he would be staying with Usagi.
~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi awoke feeling very different than she had when she had lost consciousness. All she
could remember was that she was frozen. Completely and utterly frozen. She was so cold her skin
felt like it was on fire and her eyes burned as the heat was ripped out of them. She didn't know why
she had been so cold or where it was that was that cold.
Then it all came flooding back. She had been checking her traps when she heard something
and looked up and saw Heero. She was stunned. She wanted to faint, but ended up falling
backward into the lake. With the shock of seeing Heero, and then the shock when she realized she
was falling in, and then the shock of the ice water blasting through her clothes, she was unable to
do anything. She couldn't move, breathe, or think. She was in a state of nothingness. Where she was
there and that was it.
And now here she was. Waking up to the smell of cooked rabbit. With ... what smelled like
... spices? After she realized that, she realized she was laying in the arms of someone. Someone
who could only be Heero. And she was naked to top it off. But she actually wasn't embarrassed. I
mean, she had a good body and everything, but the main reason she was okay with it, was that if
she had stayed in her clothes, she wouldn't be here right now smelling what she was smelling and
feeling those arms around. She never would have woken up.
She twisted around so that her face was facing Heero's. He was still asleep. Oblivious to
the world around him in his peaceful slumber. Breathing softly through a mouth opened the
slightest bit. His beautiful eyes were hidden from the world beneath his eyelids framed with long
lashes that had brushed her skin when she turned over toward him. The light from the fire set his
skin aglow. She leaned her head against his chest. It was her turn for a peaceful slumber.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next time she awoke there were two differences: She was clothed and Heero was
gone. Sitting up, she looked around and spotted Heero next to the fire checking something in a pot.
It was probably the rabbit she had smelled earlier.
"Good Morning," said a deep voice, startling her.
"Morning," Usagi replied. "What are you cooking?"
Back still turned toward her, he answered her question. "It's rabbit. I used on of yours,
didn't think you'd mind. I used some of the spices I brought with me. I hope you like it."
"Just the thought of having something with more of a flavor to it is making my mouth water.
It'll be a treat," she said and stood from the sleeping bag. She looked around and saw her clothes
hung up on what she turned into a clothes line. Not really looking to see what she wore before,
now she did. She was wearing a set of Heero's camping clothes. He had done a lot for her.
Walking over and sitting down beside him, she said, while looking into his eyes, "Thank
you, Heero. For everything. You saved my life and protected me through the night keeping me safe
and warm. I am very grateful... You'll never know just how much."
Heero sat there taking in what she was saying. He knew she was looking into his eyes as she
said it, even though he was staring into the fire. After she finished he continued to stare into the
fire. Then he locked his gaze with her's and said, "Your welcome."
Usagi smiled the bright smile that Heero loved seeing, especially when it was created for
only him. The next thing he knew, Usagi had her arms wrapped his waist in a hug, head buried in
his chest. Then he felt something wet through his shirt. Pulling back, but still keeping his arms
around her, he craned his neck to see her. She was crying. "Usagi, are you okay?" He asked in
concern.
"It's just that I've been alone for so long. I've missed everyone so much and I've tried so
hard to just forget, but I can't. My heart won't let me. I won't let me. And I've been worried about
how I'll get all the food I need with winter coming. And then you show up and I fall to my death.
Or what would have been had you not saved me. And everything just keeps piling up and now...
Now I feel like I can cry, with you being here. I feel like I can relax, like I can be me. I'm not alone
anymore. I'm not alone. You're here with me."
"Usagi, you know I'll always be here for you. I'll take care of you and continue to keep you
safe. I'll watch over you and never let any harm come to pass," he said looking into her eyes
shining bright with tears as the light from the fire reflected off them.
Pushing her head against his chest and holding his shirt in her hands, she said, "Thank you,
Heero. Thank you."
Heero looked down at the girl in his arms who's head was nestled against his chest. Unsnaking
his arm from around her and using his index finger, he lifted her face up by the chin. He saw
her looking at him with so many emotions. Emotions unreadable to him. And somehow he knew his
eyes were a mirror of hers. Slowly, with grace, he bowed his head toward hers. Beginning to
close the distance that seemed endless. He still looked into her eyes and her into his. He was
hypnotized, in a trance. And what made everything so perfect a picture was the light of the fire
giving everything a soft glow.
Usagi was spellbound, staring into and through Heero's eyes that contained so many
unreadable emotions. She hoped one day she would figure them out. And somehow she knew she
would.
He and her were together closing the distance between them, awaiting the moment where
their lips finally met. After an eternity, they did. Heero's lips claimed Usagis's in a soft caress.
First lightly brushing over them and then taking over completely. She strung her arms around his
neck and he put his arms around her waist and hoisted her up into his lap, making their bodies as
meshed together as possible. He continued to put pressure on her lips and move over them until air
was absolutely necessary. Breaking apart he saw her get a breath and he did the same, only
quickly. Once his lungs we filled, he swept his lips across her once more. She rested her head in
the crook of his neck. Holding her was all he wanted now. To hold her and never let her go, for
fear of her leaving once again, but the next time not finding her. Death would have come were she
not there by his side. So he held her firmly, feeling her warm breath on his neck.
"Usagi," he said with all the emotions she had seen in his eyes being expressed in his
voice. The two most apparent were sadness and happiness. "I missed you so much. I can never
express with words just how much. When you left, I started aching in my chest. It hurt a lot. That
was when I realized just how much of a necessity you are in my life. I need you Usagi."
"Oh Heero," she said, bringing up her hand to cup the side of his face. "I felt that same
aching to. I know how much it hurts. To much to bear, yet still able to. I like knowing you need me.
And you'll never have to fear that I might leave you again, because I won't let it happen. Going
through it once was enough for all eternity, going through it again would be the end of eternity. I'll
stand beside you through everything. I'll never let you go."
"And I'll never let you go," he stated, and buried his head in her hair, feeling the softness
on his skin and smelling the sweet aroma. They sat like that for ... how long no one knows. Sitting,
bathed in firelight, content with feeling the others arms wrapped around them. Their world was
only them. Nothing else existed, not even time.
"As much as I'm loving this moment and not wanting it to end, I need to eat. My tummy's
starting to voice it's protests." She said, pulling back only as much as was needed to stare into his
eyes. What punctuated her sentence was a rather loud growl. "It said it better get fed now or it will
not be happy." Growl. "And it will do something to get me back if I don't, but at the moment
doesn't know what that something is. So, I'd better do as it request's. Happy, little tummy?" She
said with a pat to her stomach. (An: My stomach will talk to me like that. Very weird. A speaking
stomach. Who would have thought it would have that much to say?) And it gave another low growl
of content. But the sound that followed that made her body quiver with shivers, shivers of pleasure
and happiness. The sound was a very deep and masculine chuckle. Looking up at Heero, his mouth
was open, letting the laughs float out. And his eyes were almost completely shut from the size of
his smile.
Finally controlling his laughter, he kissed Usagi on the cheek and said with merriment,
"Cute. My little Usa-chan."
After she moved off him, he got up and grasped two bowl and two spoons, and brought
them over to where Usagi still sat. Beside her, he sat down, and handed her the items. From the pot
he shoveled out them each a helping.
They ate in silence until Usagi finally realized something. "Heero, you know how you
promised you'd only come to me if it was very important? Well, why are you here?"*
