"Huh?. . ." That was all she could make herself say. Duo smiled at her winningly, " Its true! I just got an e-mail from Une, she says we have orders to go to New York!" He exclaimed. She stared at him. "Direct orders from Une?. . .your sure?" She knitted her eyebrows in doubt.
"Yeah i'm sure! We are supposed to go to New York and then to my old buddy Quatre's place."
" What happens after we get there?"
" Well, I was under the impression that we would receive further orders when all of us are there."
" What others?"
" My old buddies of course!"
" . . . The pilots?! All of them?!"
" Well, yeah. . ."
" This CANNOT be good!"
Duo stopped grinning and gave her an inquisitive look. " What do you mean?. . ." Sere sighed and rolled her eyes. " Hold on." She rushed off and came back with her silver laptop, opening it she found that there was indeed mail. She opened the mail and dropped her head in her hands. Duo, curious, looked over her shoulder.
: : Officer Serenity Diana Cosmos,
the orders given to you previously by Major Herrison are postponed
until February 15. Your new orders are to go to New York City and find
a place in Quatre Winner's household, after which you will wait for
further orders.: :
:: - Une: :
"Sere, what can be so bad about it?" He asked her with drawn brows. Sere lifted her head and looked very tired. "Duo, it can't ever be good if they have to change my orders and its even worse if their in need of the Gundam pilots again." Duo thought on it and a small look of worry hung in his cobalt gaze. "You really think so?"
" Yeah, there could be no doubt about it. "
Duo plopped down into a chair next to Sere, who was currently biteing on her thumb nail and stareing at the table, in thought. " What do you think the problem is?" He asked tentatively." It could be a knew organization, a threat of revolution, new weapons. . . Anything really, so long as it will cause a war. " She never looked up from the table as she spoke and continued to chew her ragged nail.
Duo sighed and glanced at the clock. "So what do you suppose we do?" She finaly looked up from the table.
" The only thing we can do, go to New York and find out what the hell is going on."

" That will be nintey-six dollars and fifteen cents, your on shuttle one fiftey-two on loading deck seventy-four A. Enjoy your flight, Sir. "
Heero Yuy retreived his shuttle tickets from the blonde at the counter and headed toward the sign that read ' Loading dock 74-A'. He glanced at his watch and found he still had a good 45 minutes until they start loading passengers. He sat down in one of the many chairs set about the spaceport (AN. I could'nt think of what to call it. ^_^; ) and closed his eyes for a breif moment, or what he thought was a breif moment.
" We will be loading shuttle fiftey-two, L2 to New York City, in five minutes."
As he heard this his eyes flew open. He must have fallen asleep. ' If Duo were here he would be annoying me about loseing my touch.' He thought without amusement.
He pushed his way through the crowd as fast as he could, unfortunately his pace was slowed considerably by a something, or someone, slamming into him. Without thinking, or looking, he got up off the floor and rushed to the loading dock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@

" Ah! Sere are you okay?!" Duo exclaimed, helping her up. "Yeah, i'm fine thanks. How rude!", She bristled at the memory. All she had seen was a tall, lithe body, a mop of messy, chocolate colored hair, and a breif flash of cold, prussian blue eyes as he got up and darted off. " If I could get my hands on him i'd. . . "
" We are now loading shuttle fiftey-two, L2 to New York City."
"Crap! Lets go! You can rant on the shuttle!" Duo yelled, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the loading dock.
They finaly took off after a small waiting period. And were soon in space heading toward Earth.
Sere looked at Duo, who was peacefuly sleeping, sighed and threw a blanket over him. She turned to stare out her window and into the vastness of space. She let her head rest against the cold surface of the window as her thooughts raced.
She could think of many plausible reasons for their unexpected departure, and one of those reasons seemed most likely to her, there had to be a new organization planning a revolt against the current government or developing new, more powerful, weapons. She hoped that if it were so, that it would be the former instead of the latter.
A revolt could be taken care of with a reasonably low count of casualties, but if it were new weapons, no one could know how much damage could be caused by both sides.
But something else bothered her as well.
She had been getting a strange feeling for the past few weeks, it was a feeling she had received several times before, it was that of impending danger to all that lived. What was worse was that the feeling had grown even more intense as time passed, sometimes so intense that it caused severe pain.Like her current headache.
She knew that the two things that plagued her thoughts had to go hand in hand, and the realizeation just made her head pound worse.
She felt her eyelids grow heavy and welcomed the idea of sleep. But before she could totaly drift off into the land of dreams, a vision of cold prussian eyes sent a shiver down her spine. She shook off the feeling and let her eyes close, hopeing that maybe she wouldn't dream.
~*~Fog. Nothing but fog for farther than she could see. " What the. . ." Her voice echoed around her, causeing her to jump. She looked down at herself and found that she was wearing armor made of silver so pure, it was almost white and when she shook her head it was obvious that her hair was nolonger in a thick braid, but was loose except a small amount that crowned her head in a thin braid. In her hands she held two items, in her left she held a crystal staff that she knew well, and in her right was a magnificent sword stained with brackish blood.This to, was something she knew well. To well.
"No. . ." Her agonized whisper seemed to have an effect on the fog, makeing it slowly disappear and reveal a battlefeild.
"No."
All around bodys lay, half of which were human men and women who wore armor similar to hers except less splendid. Or was it the blood that covered them that took away its beauty?
The other half varied from reptilian or animalistic creatures to what seemed to be almost of the human race, all of them wore black armor made of some kind of stone. Their brackish blood spilled from their mangled bodys and killed all the vegitation surrounding them.
The air reeked of blood and death, makeing it hard to breathe.
She tore her eyes away from the scene and instead cast them down. . .and saw a hand. She followed the hand and found the body. Eleven bodys in all lay around her, ten wore armor that shifted to specific colors and held assorted weapons. And the last one. The last one should'nt have been on a battlefeild. It was the small, broken form of a little pink haired girl wearing a red dress.
" Serena, you need to study more! "
" Odango! Your late! "
" Serena! I made cookies! "
" Sere, did you see that guy?!"
" Hime. . . No, I will never stop calling you that."
" Serena, that is an excelent color for you!"
" Koneko! Need a ride? "
" Sere-Mama! "
" Serena! Less sleeping more training! "
" I swear Serena, you and Mina are twins! "
" Mommy! "
"No!" She covered her ears against the voices but it did not help. "No! Please, stop! "
" Serenity. . . You are, and always will be, mine. "
She stopped at this voice, her eyes widening as a shadow started to cover the bodys, comeing for her.
She tried to run but found that her legs seemed to be made of stone, the shadow came closer.
It covered her legs and her torso, makeing her feel as though she were made of ice.
The shadow reached her neck and started for her head, but suddenly it pulled away from her and started to take a shape. It took the form of a tall, raven haired, man, wearing a black cloak and when he raised his head to her she recoiled at the cruel, midnight blue, eyes and the sick curve of his lips. " Mine." He said in an oily voice as he raised a hand to her face only to have her jump back from it.
" I will NEVER be yours!" She growled with an icy glare that would freeze the warmest of hearts, but her current enemy did not sport that little detail. Instead he laughed and smiled at her. " Ah, Serenity, you do amuse me so! But is it not I, who holds your chains? " He purred at her and chuckled at the look of suprise and confusion that came over her.
She looked down at herself and saw that she nolonger wore the silver armor but in its stead a filmy gown that was almost translucent, her hair, she felt, was in odangos, and, worst of all, she stared at the shackles on her wrists that connected to the chains that the man, indeed, held. " No. . ." She whispered. ' Must be my word of the day.' One half of her mind thought sardonically.
Her eyes shot up and surveyed her surroundings. She was not on the battlefeild anymore, though she would have prefered it if she was , but instead she stood in a lavish bedroom, decorated, disturbingly, mostly in blood red. But two things in the bedroom struck terror into her the most. One was the other set of shackles chained to the wall and the second was the large bed covered in blood red sheets and blankets. Somethings are best left from memory, but she did not bear that luxury, she remembered that bed, and what happened in it, well.
" So you remember. Are they pleasent memorys, Serenity? " He laughed again only to stop short and jerk on her chains, forceing her forward. He leaned down toward her and stopped just before her lips, his breath smelling of death. " Mine. " He seemed to savor the word before comeing closer and. . .~*~
"Sere!. . .Sere!? Hello, anyone in there?"
Sere's eyes flew open only to be met by anouther pair, but in cobalt blue. " Duo! Uh, whats up?" She breathed out."Uh, were here."
The got out of the shuttle and pushed, once more, through a crowded spaceport. Once they got outside they started for the street to call a cab. "So Sere, what were you dreamin' about? Had to be somethin' intense with the way you were twitchin' and stuff." He arched an eyebrow and had a certain gleam in his eye that she recognized. " Pervert!" She yanked harshly on his braid and smiled sadistically at his cry of pain. " No, it was a nightmare. " ' " Serenity. . .You are, and always will be, mine. " ' She suddered and pushed the mans voice from her mind.
" Nightmares suck! " Sere muttered to herself
" Yep! I remember one time I had this nightmare that I was being chased by a swarm of katana weilding turtles who had Wufei's face and they. . .",
" Duo, just shutup."
" But. . ."
" Listen to the onna, Maxwell. "
Oooooooooooooo, Cliffhanger! Sorry but I just can't help it! I tried to make this one a little longer and I have no idea if it is or not. ^_^; Sorry if its a little gory or angsty but I usualy listen to my Disturbed cd (I love them so much!!!) when I write and it just seems to flow. PLEASE REVEIW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
