Author's Note: Jovian-Angel, here are the answers to your questions. I hope they help you to understand what's going on in the fic, along with others that seem a bit confused as well. But, I'm going to take off answer #3 J.Angel so I don't give away the plot.
1) Who's body is
Makoto in?
Makoto had two bodies. One in the SM dimension and
another in the GW dimension so it looked like she was in two
dimensions at once. When Setsuna sent Makoto into the GW's world, she
was placed in the body of her that already exsisted. Both bodies are
different in appearence. The body she is in now has long light brown
hair that reaches the small of her back, bright emerald eyes(of
course. can't forget those!), pale pink skin, a rose complection, and
her height is 5'2".
2)Why does Makoto have
to leave?
Makoto needs to leave so she can go to the places she
remembers and try to get her memory back. If she does that, she might
remember what actually happened after she was taken from her brother.
Mostly, she needs to get herself together, and leave everyone behind.
She has never told anyone about what she remembers from her past.
Hope this helps all of
you. Thank-you for reading!

Chapter Two
They all sat at the dinner table with some pasta alfrado in front of them. They seemed a bit silent with hardly any conversation as they ate. Quatre looked over at Trowa who seemed to be hardly eating anything tonight.
"Trowa, is
there something wrong?" he asked. He never looked-up but instead
leaned back in his chair.
"I'm not that hungry this evening. I think I might retire early this evening." Duo let out a sigh while he leaned on his elbows.
"Why is everyone in a bad mood today?" he asked. Everyone seemed to look at him with a raised eye brow. Makoto nodded as she stood up. A sigh escaped her.
"Might as well get this over with while he's still here." She disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Trowa with a confused look. He took a drink of his scotch and sighed. Duo stood up and turned off the lights, leaving them in the dark.
"Alright, what's going on?" he asked. A small light flickered from the corner and started getting closer. He watched as Makoto brought out a cake and sat it in front of him. Curiously, he looked at everyone who seemed to have smiles on their faces. Makoto went back to her seat as they watched him look at the cake.
~*~
A blind fold moved from his eyes as he saw the cake in front of him. Eight candles were placed around while two adults looked at him, smiling. Something shook the house, making the ceiling crumble. The pieces hit the cake, smashing it. Banging was all over the doors along with shouts from men.
"OPEN THE DOORS!" The woman quickly lead him into a secret passage.
"Get out of here Trowa. I don't want to see you get hurt," she said and quickly closed it. Gun shots sounded, letting him listen to the screams of the people in the room...
~*~
He looked at the worried faces around him while he just sat there. A hand pressed against his pale forehead, checking for a temperature and then he was lead up from his chair. Duo switched the lights on as he watched Makoto lead Trowa out of the dining room.
"Something's terribly wrong," sighed Quatre. He looked at the cake and then blew out the candles. Wufei moved up from his seat and started toward the bar.
"Hey, why don't we all just have a drink or two?" asked Duo. Quatre shook his head.
"I'll go stay with Trowa and send Makoto down." They poured their drinks and waited for the arrival of the girl. After a moment, she walked into the room dressed in her pajamas. Duo looked at her, taking in all her looks. Baggy black and white plaid pants, and a white, lowcut tank-top. She moved over to the bar and mixed her own drink.
"Do you know what's wrong with Trowa?" asked Duo, trying to make some conversation. She just shrugged and took a seat next to Wufei. Heero just typed on his computer without evening looking at anyone.
"He seems a little over worked, tired, depressed, and worried about something. It's best not to prey into his preson life. Who knows. Him and Quatre could have had a fight or something."
"Most likely not," commented Wufei standing up, holding an empty glass. He looked at the clock to see it was going on eight. A smirk filled his face. Makoto looked up at the clock as well and stood to her feet.
"I should be getting to bed. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow." Duo watched her take the beverage out with her. Wufei slapped him upside the head.
"I thought you were going to give her something," he growled. Duo shrugged and took another drink.
"She's leaving us anyways. I don't see why I bother anymore," he sighed. Heero looked up from his computer for once and glared daggered.
"Why?" he asked. He had to admit, he did become very fond of the sweet young youth that always seemed to find ways to make him smile yet, why hadn't she tired it today? Duo seemed surprised.
"I don't know why. She never really told me. All she said was she was leaving to Coloney L4 I believe. She never said when," he answered. Wufei glared at him.
"What do you think about it Maxwell? Are you just going to let her leave? You are an idiot," he growled. Heero closed his labtop which meant business. He looked at him with that same stare he always gave.
"Try to get her to stay. If she leaves, think of how gloomy this place is going to be." With that, he took his labtop and left them.
"He has a point you know," said Wufei, leaving him as well.

She looked through her
thin framed black glasses at the pages of the book before her. A
smile seemed to take over her face while she continued reading to
herself.
"He looked down at the woman laying by his side, fast asleep from the late hour. Star gazing seemed to make her fall asleep since they were short of words. He scooped her up in his arms, feeling her cuddle deeper into his grasp. Words seemed to pour from her mouth in an old language that never seemed to be spoken any longer..." Her thoughts where disturbed by a knock on her door. She placed her book down and looked at Duo entering the room. A smile seemed to be spread on his face as he walked toward her.
"May I help you?" she asked with a raised eye brow. He took a seat next to her while gazing into her emerald eyes.
"Makoto, I brought you a gift," he smiled. He saw her hand touch the necklace around her neck as she started to fiddle with it. She forced a smile on her face as she looked at him.
"You didn't have to you know," she said, afraid of something happening. He smiled at her and stopped her hand from fiddling with the loose object.
"Don't worry Makoto. It's not like I got a Chipindale Dancer to come and pop out of a cake for you," he grinned. That didn't seem to do the trick. She looked nervously at him still.
"Well, close your eyes," he said. After a moment she closed them. He pulled something out from underneith the bed and sat it on top. Quickly, it ran toward Makoto and started licking her hand along with trying to get her to pet him. He watched her eyes pop out of her head as she looked at the little furry brown puppy. He watched as her bright and surprised eyes turned dull and sad. His shoulders slumped down, knowing her words.
"Thank-you Duo." He looked up at her to see her putting on a fake smile. He knew her too well. Her eyes told all her emotions like an open book. He could always read them no matter what and her his. He smiled back.
"Your welcome," he paused,"so, tell me why you're leaving?" he asked. She shook her head no.
"Lets just say I have a few things to take care of." She was fiddling with her necklace again. Something was going on, something strange and he knew it. But, he decided not to pry. He stood-up and stretched.
"I should be getting to bed. We have work to do in the morning." She nodded and watched him leave, closing the door behind himself. She looked down at the puppy with a small smile.
"I'll call him Shinigami. That sounds like a good name for him I believe. Oh well. I should at least wait an hour until I start setting my suitcases outside. The taxi will be here in an hour and a half. Lets just hope no one's up by then..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A sound seemed to wake him from his sleep. Strangely enough, he moved out of his room to see a womanly figure exited a room with a small puppy following her. She didn't seem to notice it until she was at the bottom on the stairs. A sigh came out of her.
"What are you doing Shinigami? I need you to stay here," she whispered. She hadn't noticed him starting down the steps but, continued walking toward the door. She had to stop and pick-up the small puppy. A hand touched her shoulder, causing her to freeze. After a moment, she turned to the man standing behind her.
"Why are you leaving?" he asked in his normal emotionless voice.
"I have things to tend to Heero. I just can't exactly tell you but, I'll let you all know that I'm still alive," she smiled. He nodded only to have the small puppy placed in his arms. He looked up at her curiously.
"Please take care of him." She gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek. Before she could leave, he grabbed her wrist and brought her back up to him. He gave her a small kiss on the lips. She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Good-bye Yui Heero." Before he could say anything else, she left out the door shutting it silently. He heard the sound of a horn causing lights from upstairs to turn on. Trowa was the first one out of the room and down the stairs. He seemed not to notice Heero as he opened the door, watching a car leave.
"Who was it?" asked Quatre at the top steps.
"A taxi. It must have had the wrong place," he answered and then started up the steps. Quatre nodded and then moved back in the room, Trowa following. Heero looked up at Wufei.
"She's gone. Pack for a long trip. I know Maxwell will want to go after her." He nodded as he walked up the stairs. He grabbed Heero's arm and looked at him.
"Are you sure Maxwell will want to go after her or are you doing this for yourself?" He just ignored him and continued walking away with the small puppy in his hands.

Eyes peered through a small crystal ball while looking at each and every person, trying to find someone that held a certain something about them. A growled escped the figure whom turned away from it to look at a couple crystals in front of him. A dark purple, a sea-green, a dark blue, and black.
"Only five more crystals to go. If only I could find the last four princess' then I could come to my ulimate goal," it paused for a momemt and then came to it's conclusion,"Wait! The senshi of time would most likely place them all in a different dimension or try to warn the other one. I'll just have to send my hench men out to look for them. It shouldn't take too long. Ice, send out my finest men in search of the Princess'. I want them found alive and brought to me!" The man before him bowed, letting his long light blue hair fall over his shoulders.
"As you wish, master," he grinned, letting his icy blue eyes look-up at the man. With that, he turned on his heel and started down the hall. He exited through the doors and started down the spiral staircase that was going to lead him down to the best hunters they could have found. He grinned while he continued down.
"Oh dear brother, you mustn't forget you promise to hand over one of the Princess' to each of us so we could get revenge. I want to make that girl suffer for what she did to my family before I was recreated! Yes, all of us will have our revenge, soon enough," he grinned as he came down to the bottom of the steps. Three other men just sat lazily around. They seemed to be bored while playing poker and drinking a little bit here and there. His eyes stopped on the closest man with long dark green hair. He seemed to turn around showing off his forest eyes.
"Hey Thunder! You get the job of looking for the Jovian Princess," grinned Ice. A smile seemed to go over his face.
"Where do you want me to start? I know she's not in this dimension. Pluto had sent her into some other place before the war started. Think I could check out the dimensional room?" Ice nodded and threw him something.
"This will help you find her." He looked down at the watch and nodded.
"Alright." He then left the room. One of the men with long dark blonde hair and gold eyes looked up at him with a grin.
"When do I get to go?" he asked. Ice smiled and threw him a watch as well.
"Go on Gold. Me and Fire have somethings to talk about. They were orders from the eldest of us all. I'll meet you in there in a momemt." He nodded and walked out. The dark red head glared daggers.
"Let me guess. He wants them alive?" he asked, his red eyes looking like burning embers. Ice gave a singel nod and threw him the watch.
"Come on. We have people to kill, woman to find, energy to take. Lets do it while we're still young," he smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo gazed down at the white ivory box with gold trim and sighed. He had just placed everything back the way it was. The letter still moved through his head like a candle on the water.
"...Good-bye Duo. I will miss you very much. You were always there for me until you left without saying a word. I can forgive you but, my heart never will. I'm sorry that things had to end like this. Both of us on bad terms. I was harsh on you, but, that's the only way I knew I could. I wanted to make sure I didn't have any feelings toward you but, I was wrong..." He sighed and looked at the duffle bag that was piled full of clothes for this trip he was going to take alone. He neatly wrapped the the box and placed it in as well. There was a knock on his door.
"Yeah?" The door opened to have Wufei standing there, surprisenly. Over his shoulder was a duffle bag as well that was fully packed.
"I know you're going to need some help finding her. Colonly L4 is a large place for you to be looking for just one person. She could be anywhere. Tell me when you're going to be ready to leave." Duo nodded as he zipped up his bag. He pulled it over his shoulder and started out.
"We should get their by noon if we're lucky." He looked at his companions all packed as well. The house seemed to be silent without any life to it. Usually on Saturdays, you could hear the laughter and splashing of the pool. He didn't smile at anyone but received one from Quatre.
"I should have told you she was packing last night. I believed her when she told me not to worry about it but, I should have brought it up last night to you guys when she was in her room for the evening. I need to ask but, did you two have a fight?" he questioned. Duo picked up the small puppy that whined by his foot.
"I never told anyone this but, we both met at the Maxwell Church, both orphans without any memories of our past before we came. She was eight and I was nine. Four six long years, both of us had been close like brother and sister, even captured together where I was trained in the OZ army. She was stuck with Treize Kushranada as her adoptive father. Hardly we could ever see each other until I was chosen as a Gundam Pilot. I never had the chance to tell her good-bye and till this day it still haunts me. Our fight was over that which happened years ago. She has forgiven me but, her heart won't let her. All I know is I need to find her. I don't want to let her go through anything alone. I want to be there for her." There was a knock on the door, causing them to turn. Quatre walked over to the door and opened it to see four other woman standing there in different colored cloaks. The first one in front of him was in a bright yellow. Beind her stood a woman in a white cloak, red cloak, and blue cloak.
"I need to speak with Makoto. This is a matter of important business," came a womanly voice.
