Chapter 2: Past Lives
*As Heero walked to Quatre's, his mind wondered. He could still remember the last time he had seen Serena for a mission. He was on a mission, and she happened to be the one they had to meet up with. The others never knew what to say, or think, when Heero told them he knew her. Duo, of course wanted to ask her out for Hee-chan or himself. He had to tell them the whole truth about Serena. He told them that they had grown up together, and both of them would risk everything for the other. They were both trained to be the "Perfect Soldiers." But he never thought that she would change as much as she did. He also told them that when both of them were 10, that some people had come for Serena. He could never figure out why though. But then the thought had struck him; she was the "Perfect Soldier." He had always known something was different about Serena. She always passed the training before he had even started. She was also the only one who could bring out the real Heero. And this scared the others out of their minds. He also told them that she would help him get rid of Relena. He finally realized how he felt about her. He liked how everyone thought that they were a real couple because he would always have his arm around her waist and she would always put her arm through his. Not that he minded people calling them a couple.
But what he didn't know was that his feelings weren't just one-sided. She felt the same way about him, sure they were best friends, but she always wanted more from him, not just a friendship. But Dr. J had told her not to get involved with him, he also told Heero the same thing.
*Flashback*
*Tokyo-AC 205*
They just arrived at airport from an 8-hour flight. Duo and Wu Fei, for half the flight, were sitting there arguing with each other. Trowa and Quatre where there trying to stop the two, as for Heero, he just fell asleep thinking of his best friend. When Dr. J told him who the contact was, he was surprised. Heero never thought that he would see her again. After she left, all he had was a picture of them two, her sitting on his lap with his arms around her waist, both looking happy, not even a care in the world. He never let the others see this picture. As they were about to reach the exit, they finally realized that they had no way to get to where they were going. Then they heard a voice from the crowded airport lobby. "Heero! Hey Heero!" someone was calling him, a voice he knew.
"Who's that?" Duo questioned.
"Just some woman." Wu Fei snarled.
"I think that's the contact person." Quatre realized.
"Quatre's right. But I thought that this Shadow person was supposed to be a guy." Trowa voiced.
"Hnn"
She was starting to get bored, so she decided to get these boys motivated. " Are all of you going to stand there looking like idiots? Or are you going to come with me?"
"Woman, watch your mouth. Do you have any idea who we are?" Wu Fei argued.
"'Woman' me one more time and I'll make sure that you won't be able to have ANY pleasure, catch my drift?" Wu Fei just stood there dumbfounded and slowly nodded his head. "Just as I thought."
"You haven't changed." Was all Heero could say.
When he said that, all he could do was look at what she was wearing, plaid mini-skirt, like a school uniform, pressed white t-shirt with what looked like a tie, knee-high stockings, and a causal pair of brown dress shoes. Hair down, curled, light sliver and blue make-up, and the most angelic looks on her face. She noticed him looking, so did the others, but they themselves were looking too. She could stand Heero, but the others, no.
If there was one thing that she could not stand, guys or some girls, looking at her. She got it everyday when she was at school, when she felt showing up. "Heero" she started.
"Yeah"
"Will you and the guys stop staring, I get enough of it"
"Sorry"
With that, Heero just got all these weird looks from the others.
"Hee-man saying he's 'sorry', and to a girl"
"Shut up, leave him alone, braided baka"
"Sorry, babe"
"Don't call me 'babe'"
"Then what do you what me to call you?"
"This goes for all of you, even you Heero. You guys can call me Serena; Shadow is just the name Dr. J likes me to use"
"Miss Serena…"
"No 'Miss'"
" Serena, how are we going to get to where we're staying?"
"You guys will be staying with me."*
