Alright this is a story I wrote a long while ago.And decided to post it. Disclaimer :I don't own sailor moon or gundam wing! But one day I will, after I.......take over the world!! Muahahahahahahaaaa! (cough) Erm....sorry! Anyway this is a sailor moon gundam wing crossover! (nah duh )It goes along with the story line of Beauty and the beast with one exception! Heero isn't turned into a beast! Just read the story to find out more! Also Heero is a little out of character in this first chapter or should I say prelude, but he gets more himself in the next chapter. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Heero Yuy sat in his castle drumming his fingertips on his thrones arm rest. It was Christmas time, a time he was not particularly fond of. In fact this particular boy was in an even fouler mood around Christmas, if that were even possible! His mother had died giving birth to him and his father had died also, not long after, leaving him his fortune and estate. So yes! Indeed, he had been quite a spoiled child! Raised without the love of a parent and only the loyalty of his staff, he had grown to always get what he wanted no matter what the price.It had been that way for the thirteen years of his life!

He sat staring into the fireplace thinking of nothing in particular when the door was knocked upon. His most trusted confidant Duo, who was at his side, began to get up when Heero stopped him with his arm. "I'll get it", was his only reply before he stood up to go to the door. His staff found it distasteful that he always answered the door himself but dared not argue because he tended to go into fits of rage when they even mentioned what he should do.

Heero walked to the door and opened it to find a particularly old woman standing there. Her face was withered and wrinkled, her eyes were a cold crystal blue which spoke of her many years of experience. She was wearing old, dirty clothes and her teeth were rotten. Heero scowled, a beggar! "What do you want",he asked in a harsh tone? "Only a place to stay for the night", the old woman replied.

Heero looked at her as though she had grown a horn out of her head and had three eyes. "Do you think we just let anyone come and live in here old woman",his last two words were said with conviction. The old woman's figure stayed were it was, as though it could speak to him in any manner it wished which only made Heero more indignant. "Listen to me",he replied in a harsh tone "You'll not get in here, ill rot before I let a hideous beast like you in!"

The old lady had had enough, she threw back her cloak hood and lustrous golden blonde hair fell out her teeth grew straight and white and her figure more voluptuous.

"Heero Yuy", the voice said angrily, "I have watched you for many years and for many years have you been cruel. No more, from now on your castle will grow more and more barren,almost as barren as your heart.And don't think all of your subjects will get out of it either because they will all stay true to you and stay,suffering for your mistake!This will all happen until you find someone who will love you,but it will be harder than you think because if you keep being so cruel no one will ever love you.

With that she disappeared. Heero sunk to the ground and placed his head in his hands. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to meet the eyes of Duo. Duo gave him and encouraging smile, behind him was the rest of his staff. "You saw the whole thing",he asked? They all nodded their heads and he screamed in frustration. Duo took a step back.

"Well at least everyone knows now," he screamed!He ran into the throne room and overturned a table. He looked back at his staff who all looked a little disturbed, even Wufei!" Do you find me cruel and heartless", he screamed !They all shrunk back a little. He screamed once more and ran up the stairs into his room. Where he would ravage it. Just like he would for many months afterward.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Minako Aino walked through her town. It was so boring here she almost couldn't stand it! The only relief she got was a good adventure book. One with action, sword fights, and a hunk of romance! She sighed wistfully to herself. Who was she kidding things like that never happened to anyone. She was tired of this town, she didn't even have a friend here! There was only one girl in the whole town who was even her age! The only problem with that was she was a ditz.

"Miiiiiinnnnnnaaaaaa"!

Minako turned at the sound of her name." Speak of the devil",she said under her breath.Usagi came running around the corner. It wasn't that she was a idiot as much as she was a fool when it came to her boyfriend." Hi Usagi",she said trying to sound as though she actually wanted to talk to her.

"What are you up to"?

"Not much",she replied, "and you"?

"Oh I'm going to meet Darien"!

Minako turned and rolled her eyes at this. The poor girl had no idea the guy was all over her every time that she wasn't there. He was constantly winking at her over Usagi's shoulder and making suggestive comments. Usagi was too blind to see through them though. "Well as much as I'd love to talk to you I have to go to the bookstore and then go home to help my father.

Usagi looked at her strangely. It was a well known fact all over town that Usagi was not only a ditz but also book dumb too. Not that she had much room to talk.

"Minako! You read waaaay to much! I mean why do you have to be so smart can't you just take life as it comes like me?"

"First of all I'm really not that smart. And second of all there not learning book there enjoyment books",she corrected walking away.

"Whatever",Usagi called after her.

When Minako turned the corner and was out of Usagi's sight she leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. No one really understood her here. None of them had any goals or ambitions they all were just living for today. She envied them in that manner. She turned and began her walk to the bookshop again. It wasn't far now. The bookstore was right beside the tavern and the tavern was in sight. She saw a figure being thrown from the tavern and when she got closer she realized it was Melvin, Darien's lackey. She turned to take a different route. Wherever Melvin was Darien was bound to follow.

"Minako! "She heard a male voice call. She scowled and turned around.

"Yes", she replied sweetly? She turned to stare at the rudest man in the world! No universe!

"How are you today"?

"I'm fine and you",she asked. Not in the least bit interested in the answer.

"Beautiful",he replied. He made a short laugh and then said "but then again when am I not"?

"Never",she replied giving him her winning smile. She pushed him out of her way and continued her walk to the bookstore.

"You can't evade me forever",he yelled at her retreating form.

"Almost there",she whispered under her breath.

Then she stepped into the book store. It was such a wonderful place! She was convinced it even smelled of knowledge. She took a deep breath. She felt as though she were breathing in knowledge .This room was filled with the knowledge of thousands of people and she was in a hurry to know what they've seen out there. The only problem was that she had read them all. She sighed and walked to the counter.

"Back already", the man, Andrew, who owned the bookshop asked.

"Yeah. Just can't seem to keep enough books for me huh"?

"Nope, and don't even ask if I've got anything knew."

"Wasn't even thinkin of it", she said with a big grin.

She walked over to the bookshelf and picked up a book. "I'll just read this one",she said.

Andrew looked up from his book. "Again? You've read it like a thousand times"!

"Well its my very favorite",she replied smiling.

She took the book and walked from the store eager to begin the story. It was her very favorite! All the stories were amazing and it held so many different tales. She began the first story The little mermaid and was well caught in it when she reached her doorstep. She walked up her doorstep and into the house to find it in a complete disarray. The table was overturned, several chairs were on there sides and several vases were broken. She found a note on the door in her dads scribbled writing it said:

Minako,

I found a scientific discovery that will shake the foundations of science herself. I should be gone for a week or probably even more, so take care of the house for me! One more thing you need to go visit granny Aino, she misses you.

Love,

Dad

She sighed, her grandmother lived far in the woods. It would take a while to get there but she'd rather start now than later. She ran into the kitchen and packed herself a meal. She grabbed a cloak and ran into the woods ready for the long walk that was to come. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Well there you have it! My prelude. So you kind of get the gist of things here? Good! I assure you it will get much better! Hope you enjoyed! I realize that Darien was a little out of Character but I had to have some kind of snob to portray the bad guy. And I realize Usagi was in character, haha. She's so Ditzi love her poor little heart. She was never my favorite character but I dont dislike her.The more I write her into my stories the better off with me she is. Well I promise the next chapter will be more of what your most likely expecting from my story! Also what did you think of Andrew being the owner of the bookstore? For those of you who don't remember he was the one who owned the arcade in Sailor Moon. (I have no idea what the Japanese name is!)
