Author's Remarks: Clover's "ending" left me pretty unsatisfied and this is what I hope might happen after the time span of two years. Right now, I'm deciding on writing multiple chapters and this is just the first installment. It'll probably drag to several chapters, but as this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction of any sort, I'm a little apprehensive. Some details that are mentioned are made up by me and are in no way related to the actual manga. Comments and criticisms are welcome. But don't make them too harsh okay? Oh, and established writers out there, pleeeease feel free to drop some writing tips, cause I think I need them badly ^____^;

Prologue
"You said to take you away……but you never said anything about coming back." Kazuhiko whispered as he looked at the leaf imprint on his palm. He clenched it tightly and closed his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hello Ran." Kazuhiko gave a slight wave as he stepped past him to enter Gingetsu's apartment. Not much has changed since the two and a half years Suu died, except Ran, who seems to be ageing faster than he should. Kazuhiko had learned of Ran's true identity from Gingetsu shortly after the Fairy Park incident.
Plopping down heavily on the sofa, Kazuhiko began to stretch lazily, easing out the kinks in his neck and shoulders.
"Where's Gingetsu?" Kazuhiko asked threw a quizzical glance in Ran's direction as he emerged from the kitchen with a steaming cup of coffee.
"He's been on duty for the past two days…..seems that an important General is coming to visit next week and he's in charge of security during his stay." Ran gave a slight smile as he handed Kazuhiko the cup.
"No wonder….." muttered Kazuhiko "I've been trying to get him for the entire day yesterday and couldn't get him."
"Is anything wrong? Why were you looking for him?"
Kazuhiko looked up from his coffee. "Huh? Oh……." Setting the cup on the low table, he leaned back into the sofa and stared at it, seemingly caught up by some thoughts. "Nah, it nothing much. Just that I've been feeling agitated lately, for no particular reason……and my dreams and all." He gave a sigh and continued, "I've been dreaming of Suu."
Ran looked surprised "Suu?"
Kazuhiko gave a short laugh and said "Yeah, Suu. I mean, I do think of her constantly, you know? After the Fairy Park incident. But these dreams, they're weird. She was trapped in some bird cage, and she was trying to tell me something, but nothing would come out of her mouth. I tried getting near the cage, but each time I neared it, the cage seems further and further away. Then, she'll just…..vanish." Kazuhiko inhaled deeply and draped an arm over his eyes. "What do you think?"
Ran was silent for a while. "The Four-Leaf has infinite power."
Kazuhiko sat up. "Your point being?"
"Suu is different. The tests that they ran at the labs showed that different levels of Clovers have different alien genetic make-up, and that enables them to distinguish between the lower Clovers from the higher ones, with each stage varying only slightly from the next. Myself, C, and B shared the same set of genetic codes, and we have the same level of power. But Suu's genetic codes varied greatly from ours and there was nothing to account for her unexplainable power in the conducted tests."
"So?" Kazuhiko voice was laced with confusion.
"Much is unknown about her and I'm guessing that she could have survived her own attempt at killing herself. After all, who really knows how much it takes to destroy a body that was capable of withholding such great power? " Ran shrugged. "I could be wrong, but that's the gut feeling I get. A lesser Clover can never know about a higher Clover. Suu knew more of me and C than we ever could know her."
Kazuhiko pulled out a cigarette as he walked along the quiet pavement and searched his coat pockets for his lighter. As he lifted the flame towards his face, he got reminded of the massive explosion that engulfed the Fairy Park, together with Suu in it. Though he had not witnessed it himself, he had seen it from the hologram generated by General Kou. Could it really be that Suu was still alive?
He inhaled deeply and held it for a while, feeling the smoke fill his lungs before letting it all out. The possibility that he might see Suu again made him feel strangely hopeful. Indeed, through these years, Suu was the only person other than Oruha that he constantly thought about. Perhaps it was because she had died indirectly because for him. Or maybe it was because she was the only link he had to Oruha then. He doesn't really know.
Either way, it was undeniable. He missed her.
"Lieutenant." A soldier saluted smartly as he walked up to Gingetsu's table and handed him a disc.
Gingetsu dismissed him with a curt nod and proceeded to review the information on the disc. It contained data on the people who were accompanying the General from the North Territories.
As he checked through the files which contained all the gathered information on each person's background, one particular picture made him stop abruptly.
"It can't be……" Gingetsu searched through the page presented on his monitor for more information. He couldn't find anything extraordinary about the person from the data, and from what he gathered; she's just another one of the numerous ambassadors accompanying the General in the upcoming visit.
Gingetsu leaned back into his chair and scrutinized the photo splashed across his monitor. Other than the fact that it looks more mature, with silky white hair grown much longer, the face that stared back at him through beautiful green orbs resembled uncannily like someone he knew----- Suu.
