Disclaimer: I don't and never will own Gundam wing or Sailor Moon. Although, it would be nice to be able to claim them.

Matsuri: Thanks for coming back to read chapter two. I was worried that no one would read my prologue since my description of the story was kinda crappy, but HEY! You're staying to read the second chapter and I just keep rambling on. Enjoy! ^_^



1 Chapter One

Deathscythe charged at the surrounding mobile dolls. They quickly moved out of the way, but reassembled in a circle around deathscythe.

"Like a bunch of damn pigeons!" Duo Maxwell, the pilot, mumbled, withdrawing his scythe. Before he could turn to face the enemy, a Libra slammed into him. It hit with so much impact that it exploded, causing a malfunction in Deathscythe.

"Kuso!" Duo yelled, trying to revive his gundam. The mobile dolls gathered around him getting ready to strike, but anther gundam quickly cut their path.

"Get outta here, Hiro!" yelled Duo. "This is my mission!" Ignoring Duo's cry, Hiro Yui attacked the mobile dolls with fierceness. Finally he aimed his beam cannon at the last two mobile dolls. A slight smile appeared on his face as they blew to nothing but dust particles. Wing Zero turned to face Deathscythe. As the cockpit to Deathscythe opened, Hiro could make out a pretty pissed Duo.

It's a shame that the gundams were still fighting. Even after the situation with Madimeya, there still were problems that only gundams could handle. A few months after the gundams were supposedly disposed of; Sandrock was sighted along with its pilot, Quartre Rebarber Winner. The other pilots had spared their gundams also. Soon word got around that Treiz Kushrenada (AN: I think that's how you spell it ~_~;;) had not rested. That he had survived Wufei's attack somehow and that he was hidden on a lucid colony. Occasionally, mobile suites would attack people on earth or on the colonies. Following the orders of Treiz, they killed many people and once again the gundams were in action, fighting for the people.

Duo was sent on a mission to confront a few mobile dolls causing a disturbance, but for some reason he was having trouble concentrating. Now back at Quatre's mansion, Duo sat on the couch his hands cupping his face. His brown bangs hung over his hands as his long braid trailed down his back. He wore his usual black wardrobe and was surrounded by his fellow gundam pilots.

"I screwed up," he mumbled.

"Hey, it's all right, Duo," Quatre said, patting Duo on the back. "We all make mistakes." From the chair nearby, Trowa Barton spoke, "I think you got it wrong. Duo makes mistakes and we pay for them."

"We can't even say that!" Chang Wufei hissed. "Maxwell's mind wasn't even on the mission and you all know it!" Quatre coughed and Trowa lowered his eyes as Duo's head popped up. He glared at Wufei.

"Maybe we should…" Quatre started but Wufei cut him short.

"Iie, this needs to be said!" Wufei yelled, getting up from his sitting position."I'm tired of everyone acting like nothing is wrong with Maxwell when everything is wrong with him! Everyday he sulks around over what? Some onna!" Duo stood up, facing Wufei.

"What are you trying to say?" he asked.

"All of this fuss over her is going to get you killed and it might get us killed! I don't think you should be worried over any unworthy baka onna! She's turning you into a sulking jackass!" Duo moved with the quickness. He grabbed Wufei by the collar and shoved him against the wall. A picture nearby fell to the floor.

"Don't You Ever Talk About Hilde That Way!" Duo yelled, his eyes full of anger. Without a word Wufei pushed Duo backwards, causing Duo to sway, but he quickly collected himself. He threw a punch, hitting Wufei in the jaw. Then he began pounding into Wufei's gut. Wufei blocked a punch, took a step back, and with one swift movement, he punched Duo in the face, sending Duo crash landing onto the coffee table in front of the couch. Before Duo could make a move, Wufei pulled him up from the shards of wood by his collar and began constantly punching him over and over again.

"Wufei! Stop this!" Quatre cried, but he didn't do anything. After a minute or two, Wufei stopped.

"Is it all out of you?!" he yelled at Duo. "The anger! Is it all out of you or do I have to finish beating it out of you?!" Dou grinned.

"You… you hit like a girl." He now had a black eye and his lip was bleeding. He stared back at Wufei.

"I don't have time for people with weaknesses," Wufei snarled and he let go of Duo. He stomped out of the room. Quatre went to Duo's side and tried to help him up, but Duo yanked his arm away and he walked out of the room, wiping at his lip. Hiro was leaning against the wall, arms crossed. His eyes were closed.

Duo didn't know what had happened. He had just snapped, but he knew that Wufei was right. All that he could think about was Hilde and what they had had. It was perfect until she had to mess up everything. Now in the bathroom, Duo spit blood in the sink. Then he patted his bleeding lip with a wet washcloth. He stared at his reflection in the mirror. He was falling apart and he knew it. He remembered what happened that day…

"Oi, Duo," Hilde ran up to Duo. He was standing on a trashpile with a clipboard in his hands. At the sound of her voice, Duo raised an eyebrow and flashed a smile.

"How ya doin' Hilde?" Duo asked. He turned and held an object out to her. " You wouldn't believe the kind of things that people throw out." Hilde pushed her bangs out of the way as she looked at the object.

"Hm. that's really something," she said. "Listen Duo…um…I'm not really feeling good. I think I'm going to head home."

"What's wrong?" Duo asked, coming closer to her.

"A headache," Hilde said. "It's been bothering me all day. I tried to ignore it but it seems to be getting worse."

"Ok," Duo said. "Get some rest."

"Arigatou, Duo," Hilde said and their lips touched for a brief moment as she kissed him. Then she left. Duo watched after her. Everytime she kissed him he felt tingles all over. He sighed. He felt that he was lucky to have found someone like Hilde. She was always there for him and she always brightened his day. They'd been together for some time now, working together at the junkyard. Duo'd shared his deepest secrets with her and she'd shared hers with him. Duo wanted to always be with her and as a matter of fact, he couldn't picture a day without her smile and her cheerfulness.

At dusk, he started home, but instead he decided to check on Hilde. He followed the pathway, leading to her front door. He rang the doorbell, but after waiting a few minutes, she didn't answer. His eyebrows now furrowed in confusion; Duo knocked on the door thinking that the doorbell didn't work. Still no answer. He tried the door and to his surprise, it was open.

"Hilde?" Duo called, stepping into her foyer. She didn't come out to greet him. Duo went upstairs, expecting to see her, but after looking in her room he found that she was not there. Her bed was not disturbed since that morning when she made it up. Even more confused, Duo checked the other rooms. 'She would go home if she was sick, wouldn't she?' Duo wondered. Then he heard a car pull up. He went to Hilde's bedroom window. There was a red sports car in the driveway. Duo stared at the tinted windows with so much intensity that it was like he was trying to see through it. Then out of the car stepped Hilde and some other guy with black hair. He was tall and wore jeans and a sleeveless shirt. Hilde was giggling about something as the guy came over to her side of the car. Once there, he took her in an embrace, his back turned to Duo. From the upstairs window, Duo could see Hilde's face. She was smiling as the guy tilted her head and kissed her passionately. Duo's reflexes kicked into action and his tightened fists slammed into the glass, making a loud 'thump' sound. Hilde's eyes popped open and she spotted Duo in the window. She quickly broke away from the kiss as she stared at the window. The guy she was with followed her gaze and Duo quickly moved away. Hilde then said something to the guy and he got back into the car. With his back to the wall, Duo peeked out of the window and caught Hilde's stare. They just stared, trapped in each other's eyes until Hilde broke away. Without looking back, she got into the car and it pulled off. Duo couldn't describe what he had felt at that moment. Torn? Used? It was a while before he could move away from the window…

"It's been a month," Hiro said, appearing behind Duo in the bathroom. "You're going to have to get over her." Duo could see Hiro through the mirror. He sighed and lowered his eyes.

"I know. I know."

"Doko desu ka?" the scouts cried. They were running down the street, following Usagi.

"She was in an alleyway!" Usagi said. "We're almost there!" After turning a few corners, they reached the alleyway. Makoto was sitting next to a trashcan. Her hair was in a mess and she had a deep cut over her eyebrow. She was cupping her cheek as silent tears rolled down her face.

"Makoto!" the inners cried, rushing to her side.

"Are you ok?" Rei asked. "What happened?" Makoto grunted as she tried to stand up, but she didn't make it. She slid back down.

"How did you get this way?" Minako asked.

"I…I was trying to get to Rei's temple, but I was pulled into this alleyway. It was some guys. I didn't recognize any of them." Makoto paused as if trying to figure out if she should continue or not and then she started again.

"They…they hurt me! I tried to fight back, but there were too many! One by one they…raped me!" Makoto broke down now. She couldn't control herself any longer. She drew her legs up against her chest and sobbed into her knees.

"They would've killed me if it wasn't for Usagi showing up!" The others stared in disbelief, each one lower than mud on a boot.

Later on, Makoto was at her apartment in bed. She was very tired and she slept soundly while the others waited around in the kitchen.

"Why her?" Minako asked. "Out of all of us, it happened to her! She has the most problems out of all of us!"

"Hai," Ami said. "This is going to tear down her self-esteem even more. Maybe beyond repair."

"I wish I'd been there," Rei sighed. "I feel like we're to blame."

"Iie." Everyone looked up towards the new voice. Makoto was standing in the kitchen doorway.

"Don't blame yourself. I should've been more careful." Suddenly a thunderous sound echoed through the apartment, making it rumble. The girls fell to the floor. Dishes flew out of the cabinets.

"Is it an earthquake?" Minako asked, after the rumbling stopped. Rei ran to the window.

"Girls, look at this!" she cried. Buildings were demolishing on their own. At least that's what it looked like. They'd just collapse.

"This is no earthquake," Ami whispered. "This is caused by something unnatural." Usagi pulled out her transformation broach.

"Come on girls!" she cried. "Time to transform!"



Matsuri: ( humming humming humming): OH! Gomen ne. Seems that I was in my own world at the minute. Well, that's it for this chapter. Hope you liked it!

*Doko desu ka*- Where is?
