Wow... You people have no idea how lucky you are... A THREE CHAPTER UPDATE!!! Aren't you proud? I've completely finished this story, I just want a few reviews before I post the rest. I estimate that there'll be about five or six more chapters.
By the way, if any of you peeps also Loop in Time, what do you think of this one compared to LIT? Better or worse?
The next five months passed by in a blur. After they had read the message that day, they landed the Gundams and scoured the base for Usagi. They found no one, nothing more than a half-collapsed building filled with settling dust and debris. When they finally had the courage to admit that she was dead and leave the base, they were beyond despair. They rarely ate or slept and became even more reclusive at school, which Relena insisted that they continue to go to. They had no funeral or memorial service, and for no reason except they didn't want to admit that she was gone. Wufei trained harder than ever- before school, during school, after school, and at night. They still acted like fairly-normal teenage boys.
One day, a lone girl wandered into the gym after school and found him training. Respectfully waiting until he sensed her and finished meditating, she approached him.
"Hello!" she said. Wufei eyed her cautiously. She was about 5'4", with waist-long reddish hair with black highlights, and intense blue-green eyes. She had on the school's uniform.
"Hello." he replied.
"I'm Jade Tsuna." she introduced, putting her hand out. Wufei shook it slowly.
"I'm Wufei." he replied.
"Nice to meet you Wufei." Jade said. "Do you think you could teach me how to do that?" she asked.
"Do what?" Wufei returned.
"Meditate." she clarified. He thought for a long moment.
"Why would a weak onna like you want to learn to meditate?" Wufei asked. Jade shrugged.
"Okay, you caught me. I really just wanted to meet you and hang out sometime. Are you busy, since tonight's Friday night?" she questioned. He thought for a moment or two.
"No."
"Then would you like to go with me to a club?"
"No. I don't really like clubs. Too noisy."
"You seem to like hanging around here. Why don't we play some basketball or something?" Jade tried again.
"Alright. I'll meet you here at seven tonight." Wufei gave in.
"Awesome!" Jade exclaimed. After a little more polite chit-chat, the two departed and went their seperate ways. Wufei headed back to the quiet apartment.
Early that morning, at an airport on the other side of the world, a short blonde girl stood with two older men. She carried a backpack and a small duffel that contained her belongings.
"I still can't thank you guys enough." she said, giving them each a hug. The men were around 35 years old, and both wore jeans and polo shirts. The girl wore dark purple pants and a lighter purple long-sleeve shirt.
"Before you go we've got something for you." the taller man spoke up. He reached into a bag he was carrying and pulled out two things- a photo album and a black leather jacket. She flipped through the photo album, looking at all the pictures they had taken of their time together. Then the shorter man helped her take off the bookbag and put on the jacket. It was tailored to fit her and hung down to her knees. She carefully put the photo album into her bookbag for closer examination on the plane.
"I'm going to miss you!" she exclaimed suddenly, hugging them both again. Tearing, the taller man spoke.
"Remember, little one, the plane will land in Sanq in about six hours. Try not to drive the other passengers out of their minds."
"There'll be a man waiting for you at the airport. He'll take you back to your friends." the other added.
"Oh and don't forget about us, okay Squirt?"
The short girl teared up and hugged them one last time, promising to call and write as soon as she could. Then she walked down the gangway and onto the plane, taking her seat between a snoring businessman and a hyper six-year-old.
Seven hours later... (about the time Wufei's making his date)...
It had taken them half an hour to take off and another half hour to get off the plane once they had landed.
The girl grabbed her things and maneuvered her way through the crowds and off the plane. Standing in the midst of the throng of people that filled the airport, she looked around for a familiar face. She found none.
"Tsukino Usagi?" a man asked, walking up to her. Surprised, she spun to face him.
"Hai." Usagi replied.
"I'm Sean." he introduced. He wore a leather jacket, jeans, and a red shirt. After a few minutes of small-talk, they made their way past the security gates and out to the vast parking lot. Sean put Usagi's duffel bag in the back of his small Mazda Miata and the two climbed in.
"So where to?" he asked.
"The apartments on the campus of the Peacecraft Academy." she replied.
"Here we go!" Sean said as he fired the engine and took off. Usagi looked out the window, recognizing the sights as they flew past them.
"I'm going back to the gym." Wufei informed them. He refused to admit to the others that he was going on a 'date'.
"We're going out to the arcade." Duo replied.
"We are?" Trowa asked.
"Yup! We haven't done anything fun in weeks!" the braided one exclaimed. Trowa turned to Quatre and Hiiro.
"You two up for it?" he asked. The two nodded. Duo grinned.
"Let's go!"
Soon the apartment was empty.
"Thanks a bunch, Sean." Usagi said as she got out of the car and retrieved the duffel bag from the trunk.
"No problem, Usagi. Hey by the way, if you ever need a date or a friend, gimme a call, okay?" he asked, handing her a piece of paper with his name and phone number on it.
"Thanks, I'll call you sometime." Usagi replied. He grinned and took off. Usagi turned and looked up at the building. She sighed.
"Wufei..." she whispered. With a fresh burst of confidence, she climbed the stairs and stood shaking outside the door. For a few long moments she stood, frozen in fear.
'Alright Usagi. You've come all this way to see him again. Are you going to stand out here like a statue or are you going to knock?' she thought. Slowly, she raised her arm and knocked on the door. After several minutes, no one had answered, and she tried again. When she realized no one was home, she lent against the door to think.
"Where else would Wufei be?" Usagi wondered aloud. "Duh! The gym at school!" she exclaimed. She stuffed her duffel bag and bookbag into her subspace pocket and took off running for the gym.
Wufei walked into the gym at exactly 7:00. The basketball goals were already set up, and a boom box was playing softly in the corner. Jade was dressed in black stretch pants and a green shirt that matched her eyes.
"Hey again!" Jade greeted.
"Hey." Wufei replied.
"Ready for some b-ball?" she asked, grabbing a ball from the rack.
"Are you?" he retorted. Jade grinned and dribbled the ball onto the court. Wufei shed his jacket and followed.
"So what's the game?" he asked.
"Simple one-on-one, first to twenty-one wins." she replied. He nodded before stealing the ball and shooting.
"Nothing but net! Nice job!" Jade complimented.
Usagi lent on the outside gym wall for a few minutes so she could get her breath back. She didn't want to run right in, breathless and sweating. After composing herself, she silently opened the door and slipped inside.
Wufei swiped the ball out of Jade's hands, but it bounced off the court. Grinning, she tripped him, making him fall and and land on top of her.
"Nice moves, tough guy." she said, giggling. He couldn't help it- her laugh sounded so much like Usagi's, and for a few moments he could have sworn that he saw Usagi and not Jade. He bent lower, staring at Jade but seeing Usagi. Softly, Wufei kissed her.
Of course, Usagi had to see this. She gasped and turned around, pausing only briefly before throwing the door open and running away from the gym.
Wufei heard her gasp and looked up just in time to see a silouhetted figure running out the door. Frowning, he rolled off Jade.
"I'm sorry that happened." he apologized.
"Why?" Jade asked, sensing that something wasn't right.
"Jade, I wasn't fair to you, coming here tonight. I wasn't fair to me." he said.
"Why, what happened?" she asked again. Wufei took a deep breath and began explaining about Usagi. (well, minus the fact that she was Sailor Moon, could time travel, and had friends that popped out of nowhere at strange times.)
"Wow." Jade breathed as Wufei finished. "You really love her."
"Yes, but she's dead." Wufei said dejectedly. Jade sighed.
"But you're not over her. Tell you what, Wufei- it was nice meeting you. When you're ready to open your heart to someone else, give me a call." she said sweetly. She wasn't being mean or harsh about it- she really cared.
"I'd like that." Wufei replied before grabbing his jacket and walking out.
"Men sometimes..." Jade sighed as he left.
Usagi ran as fast as she could towards the apartment. She planned on picking the lock, grabbing her stuff, and leaving as fast as possible.
'I'll go back and live with Ben and Mike.' Usagi thought. 'I'll get a job or something.' She picked the lock on the door and snuck in quietly, shutting and locking the wooden door behind her.
"These guys haven't changed a bit." she said, looking at the kitchen.
"Whose there?" Hiiro demanded, emerging from the living room with his gun drawn. He stopped when he saw who it was. Frozen, he stood there, staring.
"Who is it, Hiiro?" Duo called.
"It's a ghost, Duo." Hiiro replied quietly.
Duo: Uh-oh.
Aka: You can say that again.
Duo: Uh-oh.
Aka: Duh!
Wufei: Uh-oh.
Aka: Oh not you too!
Trowa: Uh-oh.
Hiiro: Uh-oh.
Quatre: Uh-oh.
Aka: Okay, so she didn't want to get caught. Oh well!
All: Uh-oh.
Aka rolls her eyes.
Aka: Please review! And make them shut up!
All: UH-OH!!!
