Part 2 Visions

Master Long paced his chamber as he waited for the dragons to arrive. Finally the door creaked open.

"You called for us Master?" A young man with semi-long black hair asked. A young woman followed quickly behind.

"Ah, yes I did. I have an urgent mission for you to perform."

"We're ready!" The girl said excitedly as she pushed forward.

The young man frowned and elbowed her back. "Meiran, we should wait to hear what it is first."

Meiran glared at her companion. "Oh stuff it Wufei, and I've told you, call me Nataku!"

Wufei glared back. "And I've told you, that is a fine code name but I will not use it elsewhere!"

Master Long chuckled quietly. "Children please." Contrite, both swiftly turned to the older man. "Now, the dragon spirit of our people has sent me a vision. War is coming."

"War?" Meiran said quietly.

"Yes. It will enslave all of the people in its clutches. Even those of peace, like us."

"That is why you have closed the school and sent the students home." Wufei stated.

"Yes." Master Long agreed. "I did not want to trap them here, they deserve the opportunity to fight if they see fit. As do you."

"There is no justice in war." Wufei said grimly. "Nor righteousness."

"I agree, but there can be in the cause of the fighting."

"Master, what would you ask of us?"

"There is one student who has refused to leave, she wishes to stay and defend us against attacks." Wufei snorted. "She is very skilled, but I know she is needed much more at home. She is a doctor and has studied medicine here rather than fighting; and I fear those skills will be much prized in the near future. I ask that you please escort her to the Sanq palace."

Wufei frowned. "That seems a rather simple task for the dragons."

Master Long smiled. "You have not yet met the student. In any case it is only a mission for Shenlong, I have different assignment for Nataku."

"What!" Meiran cried. "But that's not…Wufei and I have never been apart."

"Meiran!" Wufei said sternly. "That is not an appropriate attitude for a dragon."

"But..." Meiran began. "Yes, Wufei."

Wufei nodded. "Good. We will except the assignments." Meiran nodded limply and moved to follow Wufei out of the room.

"Meiran." Master Long asked quietly. "I would ask you to stay a minute longer."

Meiran looked up and glanced at Wufei before coming back into the room.

"Not to worry, he won't leave for a little while yet. You'll have plenty of time for good-byes." Master Long said gently. "Now about your assignment. What I will ask of you will be very difficult, but for the good of the world, I must ask it of you."

"Master?"

Master Long sat heavily in a chair. "The clan is dying. More of our children do not follow the proper path. We will not survive this war."

"Of course we will!"

"No. I have seen this. We will be attacked and destroyed. You and Wufei must go on, and teach others."

"No, I will defeat this enemy."

"My child, it would make no difference. Your assignment however, will I hope. You must join with an intelligence agency."

"What??"

"A former student of ours, a half-breed, started a spy service. It sells information to the highest bidder."

"That's not justice!"

"You think so?" Master Long asked amused. "You should not judge what you do not understand. She has her reasons and her own ethics. What I ask of you is to join her group and spy on her transactions. You must report all findings to this man."
Meiran took the paper. "Professor G?"

"Yes. He will see that it gets to the proper place."

"How can I do this? It goes against everything Wufei and I believe in!"

"Because doing so might save our world." Master Long said simply. "Now go and say your good-byes."

Meiran walked slowly through the halls to the room that she and Wufei were assigned. When she walked in she saw his bags packed and ready to be loaded. Tears in her eyes she threw her arms around him. "Wufei! You weren't even going to say good-bye?"

Wufei sighed and extracted himself. "Woman! Really, why do you think I'm still here."

Meiran glared and punched his arm. "I've told you! Don't call me woman!" Softening she said. "Please stay safe. I know this doesn't seem that dangerous, but it can't be too easy if they need a dragon."

Smiling slightly Wufei laid a hand on her shoulder. "The same goes for you, little sister."

Sniffling she hugged him again as he grumbled. "I do love you, you know." She said harshly.

"Nataku."

"Yes, I know, no mushy stuff." Wiping her eyes, Meiran backed away. "Don't let that girl mess you up too bad. That's my job right?" With a quick nod, Meiran scurried out.

"I love you too." Wufei said quietly to the empty room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quatre shifted nervously on his feet. "Quatre, stop it!" Iria hissed in his ear.

Startled Quatre glanced at her and blushed. "Sorry." He mouthed.

"Quatre, what is all this about?" Their father asked turning to face them.

"Father, Quatre has had other flash." Iria said quickly.

The leader of the Jinns paced. "This is not good. The flashes have not trouble our family for five generations."

"But neither have we had a male heir to the throne in that time either." Iria pointed out. "Maybe only the male royals have it."

"Then what about father?" Quatre added.

"Well he married in didn't he?" Iria said stopping. "Not that it really matters. Quatre tell father what you saw."

"Yes. What did you see?"

"Elves, fighting, twin dragons, men with batwings, great evil." Quatre said puzzled. "It was all jumbled. Like I was getting it through a fog. What do you make of it?"

The taller man frowned. "Nothing good. I have heard rumors. Of a revolution brewing in Romerfeller. And a war on the horizon."

Quatre frowned. "If that's the case, maybe we should warn King Millardo."

"He has Hilde to warn him. We should cut off all ties and seclude ourselves here."

"Father! You can't be serious!" Iria exclaimed.

"They're our allies!" Quatre said.

"If they fight, we can not help them. It is not our way."

"Father you can't do that, they'll be expected our help." Iria pleaded.

"No. I will not break a thousand year stand because outsiders force it."

"But…"

"NO!" He shouted. "And that's final!" Softly he said. "It would do no good anyway. Our people would not fight. It would just cause turmoil within our own borders."

The two left subdued and troubled. "I can't accept this Iria." Quatre said quietly.

Realizing his meaning, Iria turned to face him. "Oh Quatre! No! Please!"

"I have to."

"I know." She said softly gathering him in a hug. "But I don't have to like it."

"The Maganacs will come with me."

"Yes. Go, before Father thinks about it. I'll pack for you."

Quatre gave her a hug. "Thank you."

"Be well."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hilde left her meeting with Millardo drained. It had been three days since he had sent the messenger to the Daemon colonies and he requested her presence at daily meetings. This one had last long into the night. Slowly she made her way toward her chambers, which were off the Princess's apartments. Inside she found Relena sitting by a window.

"It's been awhile since you've had time to visit." Relena said quietly. "So I thought I'd try waiting."

"Lena…" Hilde began.

Relena turned and offered her a small smile. "Not to worry, I'm not upset. I know all too well how caught up in business one can get."

"Lena." Hilde said again ruefully. "You're much too forgiving." Hilde made her way over to the other woman and hopped up on the windowsill. "Personally I would have pouted and made you give me all sorts of concessions before I forgave you."

Relena laughed. "Well then it's a good thing both of us aren't like that or most of our relationship would be spent being mad and making up."

Hilde grinned. "Making up isn't so bad. We could try it for experimental purposes." Relena just laughed.

Sobering Relena resumed her vigil. "I hear the Daemons accepted."

Hilde looked sorrowfully at the young princess. "Yes. There was really no doubt, once we agreed to their one demand."

"Is he kind?" Relena whispered.

"I don't know. Daemons live a very harsh life. But this king seems to be different then any Daemon I've ever met." Hilde answered truthfully stoking Relena's hair.

Relena nodded. "I've heard that as well."

"Please don't worry Relena. No matter what, I'll always stay with you, and protect you. Even if it is from him."

Relena looked directly into Hilde's eyes searching. "But will he understand? Will he allow it?"

Hilde's eyes hardened. "It doesn't matter if he does. I'm with you till the end."

Relena smiled sadly. "Thank you."

Hilde smiled. "No thanks needed." Leaning down she kissed Relena lightly on her lips. "I told you a long time ago. I chose to dedicate my life to yours, it's a binding contract and one I've never regretted."

Relena grasped Hilde's hand and kissed the palm. "I know." The two sat in silence awhile. Hilde leaning so her head rested on top of Relena's.

"Lena?"

"Yes Hilde?"

"Have you met Trowa yet?"

"Who?"

"The young guard from the forest elves."

"No I don't believe so, why?"

"Oh no reason. I just thought he seemed bored and I know you are. You two could play chess or something."

Relena smiled to herself. "Does this young elf happen to be handsome?"

"Well, yeah." Hilde admitted sheepishly. "I thought maybe you could while away some time staring at a gorgeous face instead of a tree lined grove."

"I'll think about it."

"Good. It's late you know. You should be in bed."

"So should you."

Hilde sighed. "I take that to mean you want to stay here tonight."

Relena shifted uncomfortably. "My room is so cold, and empty."

Hilde sighed again and kissed the top of her head. "Alright, but we're not making a habit of this."

Relena shifted her sad eyes to Hilde. "I know."

Hilde hugged her and they went to the bed and slept.

Authors Notes: So the totally f'uped family structures has begun in earnest. Merian is Wufei's sister not wife. Trowa Barton (original) was Catherine's father and our Trowa would be his stepson if he were alive. And various other totally screwed up continuities will appear as we go on. Despite appearances in this chapter, the pairings remain those stated in chapter one, along with a few others that have yet to solidify. Enjoy! And don't expect this kind of prompt updating in the future. This is a fluke. A fluke I tell ya!

Authors notes part 2: one last thing. After I finished this I realized I'm jumping around time wise. 'Cause there's no way all chapter 1 and 2 could take place on the same day. It would take three days for a rider to reach the Daemon colonies from Sanq and they still have to go back. 'Whap!' Bad author! Okay so just picture that the Jinn stuff and Dragon clan stuff are on the same day as Heero getting the note from Sanq. Which is three days after Millardo sent it. And that would be the same day as when Hilde found Relena! Whew! Not as bad as I feared. Okay? Good. Now review! ~_^
