It just came to my attention that the last chapter didn't have a disclaimer. I'm sure you all know by know that we don't own Sailor Moon of Gundam Wing but just to refresh your memories, GUESS WHAT . . . WE DON"T!!!



Please review and tell us what you think! Hope you like it! K now I'll let you read some more of the story.







Chapter 9-Magic



Lita and Raye stood looking out of the window at the figure lurking in the grounds. As they watched the figure raised his arm in front of him.





Raye's POV

I stood looking at the figure outside the window and they stared right back at me. I felt Lita's presence leave my side as she was dragged away by Duo. I felt her hand catch slightly on my sleeve and heard her and the others calling to me. They sounded urgent but my curiosity made me stay.



The guy outside in the grounds was grasping something shiny in his raised hand, but I couldn't see what it was. I heard footsteps approaching me from behind and a little to the right, but ignored them as I stepped closer to the window allowing me to make out what the stranger was holding.



It was a 'Hnn.' I could clearly remember how exciting it had been last time one of those things had gone off and I was very curious to experience it again.



Suddenly everything happened at once. The person approaching me began to run and I was knocked to the ground, a loud bang echoing in my ears.

Heero's POV

I felt the bullet graze my arm and winced in before I could control myself, then quickly returned my face to its usual mask, free from emotions. It wasn't until then that I realised what I had just done. I had risked my life for that girl.

Why? Why had I risked my life for someone I barely knew? Someone who annoyed and infuriated me so much with the simplest of things?



End of POV



*****

Heero suddenly jerked back to reality when Raye delivered him a sharp kick in the shin, "Get off me you great lump!" she yelled, as she struggled beneath him kicking out at him. "Don't you know any manners? What in the name of the Princess do you think you're doing? Get off!!" With that she gave a strong kick that knocked Heero off her and onto the floor.

Lita and the other pilots stood frozen in the doorway, all of them in shock although Lita was shocked because of the way Raye was behaving, while the other boys were amazed at what Heero had just done.

"Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming," Quatre muttered and Duo complied causing Quatre to cry out in pain. "Oww! You didn't have to pinch me that hard Duo."

Raye was sitting on the floorboards, as she brushed the dust off the skirt of her dress. She turned to Heero again before she got up, "Don't you ever, EVER, do anything like that again!" she snapped. This last comment was too much for Wufei. "He saved your life you weak onna! And how do you repay him? You yell at him! I don't know why he bothered to save you."

"What do you mean he saved my life? All it does is go bang! I don't see how that can kill me. I'm much more scared of a sword than that thing!" Raye yelled back indignantly. "I've seen dragons and you think that thing can hurt me!"

Whilst Raye and Wufei argued Lita noticed the blood on Heero's arm and began to make her way over to him. 'I don't know how he got hurt,' she thought to herself, 'but if he truly did save my sister's life the least I can do is heal him.'

She was pulled back by Duo as something thudded into the wall. He pushed him behind her before pulling out one of the strange shiny things and firing it once. The guy outside the window felt to the ground instantly. Lita watched, waiting for him to get back up but he didn't.

Meanwhile Raye had realised that Heero was hurt. 'Oh, crap!' she thought, 'Maybe those things really were dangerous.' She leaned over to him and placed her hands over the wound willing it to heal.

The gundam boys stared in shock as the wound on Heero's arm stopped bleeding, pulled together and then just disappeared. Raye felt proud and kind of light headed. She'd done it, but when she tried to get up the room swam around her and she fell back to the ground.

Lita pushed her way past Duo to reach her sister, and helped her to her feet. Raye smiled weakly at her. " I think we need to be careful with that one," she said stating the obvious. Heero was now up off the floor as well. Another shot went off and a hole appeared in the wall.

"Come on!" said Quatre to the girls. "We have to get out of here!"

"Where are we going to go though?" Duo queried.

"To the Sanq Kingdom," Heero replied. The boys looked at Heero in horror and confusion. "Mission," he stated as thought that explained everything.





Sorry it's so short! Hope you liked it. Please review.

Lita and Raye.
