Disclaimer: I do not own any of the following characters that appear in this story. Sigh
A/N Whoa, this is the first time I've updated in … a looooooooong time!
IMPORTANT: If Usagi seems out of character at the moment, don't worry. She'll return to her normal character after she gets used to Heero's coldness.

Genie in a Bottle?
Chapter One
Heero's Genie
By Angel-Goddess
-:-:-:-:-:-
Heero blinked, easily masking the surprise he was feeling. That wasn't exactly the response that he'd imagine to get. "What do you mean?" he demanded. His eyes narrowed and focused completely on the blonde.
She sweatdropped at him. And Rei thought, I was dense! She thought indignantly. "I'm your very own personal genie!" she enlightened him.
Heero smirked. This woman was obviously crazy. Genies? Ha! He decided that maybe he should lead her on a bit before calling the mental institution. "Oh really? Do I get three wishes? How come you don't have a golden lamp that I have to rub to make you appear?" He interrogated her. He watched in hidden amusement as her face turned pale in fury.
"Master, who do you think I am!?" She cried, appalled. "The cartoon blue genie from Aladdin!?"
Heero squashed the temptation to roll his eyes as she glared at him with her piercing blue eyes. "…"
When Usagi got no response she crossed her arms. "Well, Master, I'm not one of those stereotyped blue genies. I can grant you as many wishes as you want-" She paused "-… but I can only grant a certain amount of wishes at a time then recharge my power during a full moon." Usagi watched her new master intently for any emotion, but she got none.
"I want a high velocity ITU V.90 K9002flex data modem for my laptop." Heero ordered. Inwardly he smiled and patted himself on the back. This mad woman wouldn't be able to pull this one off. There was only one of those modems, and it was a prototype.
Usagi blinked at him in confusion. "…A what?" she asked, bewildered. He talked so fast!
"I want a high velocity ITU V.90 K9002flex data modem for my laptop." He repeated, a smirk slowly appearing on his face as he stared back at her coldly.
Usagi clenched her fists. He obviously doesn't think that I can grant his wish. Well, I'll give him a taste of this genie's power! She thought evilly. She snapped her fingers and a small yellowish wisp appeared on the table near Heero's laptop.
Heero flicked his eyes towards the coloured wisp, alarmed. He watched in concealed fascination as it cleared, revealing an exact copy of the modem he had been wishing to own for some time now. He flicked his prussian eyes to the blonde who was grinning at him smugly. "…" Heero grunted. I'm not sure who's crazy anymore. Me, or that girl claiming to be a genie.
He walked over to the modem and ran hand across its surface. "Hn, It must be fake." He decided out loud. This crazy girl wasn't about to get the best of him! He connected it to his laptop with ease and turned it on.
Usagi glared at his back heatedly. Her new master clearly didn't have any faith in her, so why did he open the bottle? She could've been free if it wasn't for this cold teenager! For five thousand years she had been imprisoned in the bottle. Why couldn't the boy have waited for anotherten seconds? She could've been released!
Usagi fought the urge to cry. Once this boy discovers how great her powers could be, he may never let her go. And once he dies, she would have to be confined in the bottle once again for another five thousand years! Usagi flinched at the thought. I don't think I can take any more of this … I feel so … alone. She didn't realise she let out a soft whimper.
Heero's attention wavered from the laptop and he turned to the girl, noticing the crystalline tear that cascaded down her flawless skin. He decided to ignore it. It wasn't any of his business.
He scowled. The modem he had 'wished' for certainly was not fraud. As soon as he typed in an address, the data had loaded before he could even blink. Heero still refused to believe there really was a genie in his room … "Hn.". The blonde girl seemed to smirk at him - she had obviously started to realise that he was having trouble accepting the fact that genies existed.
He glared icily at her. Being trained to handle any sort of situation, he decided that he wouldhandle the situation with the 'utmost maturity and seriousness'. Supposing she really is a genie. What do I do? He thought suddenly. He ignored her as she tried to get his attention.
Usagi pouted, neglected. Her new 'master' was both mean and rude. Other people would kill to have a genie at their command! She thought suspiciously. Maybe he's plotting something evil? Usagi stopped the gasp that threatened to escape her throat in time. Maybe he wants to take over the world!
Usagi whimpered. Her new master didn't seem to be look very evil. Anno… I take that back, she thought dryly as he unexpectedly shot a nasty looking glare at her for no reason. She sat down on the floor, hugging her legs to her chest and making small circles on the carpet with her pointer finger. She had started to make small kittenish sounds without realising it. "Ne … my master is so mean … hidoi … what did I ever do?" she whinged quietly to herself.
Heero continued to ignore her. He closed his laptop and stretched himself. Looks like I'll turn in early today. He thought, casting an uncaring glance at the curled up blonde heap on his carpet. He casually covered himself with his blankets and turned off the lamp in the room.
-:-:-:-:-:-
Usagi was frustrated and grim. How dare he! He just completely ignored her as if she wasn't even there! "I'll show him!" she hissed under her breath as she sat on the roof of the prestigious mansion, staring up at the night sky filled with twinkling stars. The silver glow of the full moon illuminated even the dark areas, casting shadows. Usagi closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the breeze on her skin.
As the full moon bathed her pale form, she felt her power rise gradually. She smiled in satisfaction as she returned to her full power.
It's been so long since I've been able to experience being in the real world. She thought sadly. The night was so silent that she could hear the gentle rustle of the leaves and the crickets chirping. "Starting tomorrow … I'm going to make master's life a living hell …" she promised with a cheeky smile.
With a snap of her fingers and a puff of smoke, a chocolate cake appeared at her side. "Wai! Wai!" She giggled childishly as she took a large bite out of it.
-:-:-:-:-:-
Heero shot out of bed, feeling as if his heart was pumpinga hundredbeats per second. He had the oddest nightmare. He had dreamt that there was a genie claiming that she could grant his wishes. Heero turned to the table on the right hand side of the bed. He blinked in surprise when he saw a brand new modem. I must be delusional. He thought with a deep scowl.
He got up and opened the door, only to feel his heart stop.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Heero-sama!"
So it wasn't a dream after all … hang on a second. How the hell did she know his name!? He didn't even tell her!

AN Okay, there, finally updated…fine, so maybe I was a bit late in updating it! Short. I know, but hey, at least I updated! Come on, stop whinging about it, at least I got it out!
I'm not sure about the couples, although it seems to be leaning towards Usa/Heero right now.
Much Love,
Angel-Goddess
