Disclaimer standards apply I don't own Gundam wing or Sailor moon, but I do own Kayla.
A/n: not much to say but, I'll be bringing the other senshi in the story a little more. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about them.
Chapter 12
Sun streamed into the window as birds chirped haply outside. A figure slept peacefully in the bed unaware that the world continued to move. A faint ringing came from somewhere in the seemingly empty room and the figure on the bed was instantly awake and alert. Searching for the ringing sound. Upon finding it she flipped open the device not bothering to glance at the caller ID as she softly hissed out, "Moushi moushi."
"The princess has been found, I'm going with a couple of boys in order to rescue her. Where are you?" Rei asked noting the hushed tones given by their leader.
"I had no idea she was even missing. And, I think I'm on Earth, but where I still don't quite know." the other woman replied taking a good look at her surroundings for the very first time. She found herself in a small room with off white painted walls. Her bed had simple white sheets, and the single window in the room allowed for freash air and sun light to filter through it. A fan ran on low above her head, and a desk sat on a far corner. "Don't worry about me you must get our princess to safety, I'll stall things as much as I can for now." she stated.
"Hai, understood." the flame senshi responded ending their conversation and with it their connection.
No sooner had she clicked her phone shut and hit it for safe keeping, the door creeked open. Not sure if she could relax or not she launched herself into a defensive pose her eyes darting from right to left keeping a close eye on any movement. As the wind blew from outside, strands of blonde hair flew in her face and she sighed in relief that she hadn't lost her transformation. "Good your up, how are you feeling?" came a male voice.
Still not trusting the man, she paused regarding him for a moment. Chewing her lip thoughtfully she thought of the best chores of action to take concerning this matter. "I'm fine," came her soft smooth reply. She tried not to sound harsh or critical not wanting to give herself away just yet.
"You should really lie down Aino-san." came the gruff male reply his voice remaining low with a light void of emotion in his voice.
"How do you know my name?" the girl now referred to as Aino-san replied.
"Who hasn't? Your world famous, not only for your singing but as your time in England for being Sailor V, precedes you a long way my dark. Lets just say after I found you, I did my homework." he answered her questions with a critical eye noting the imbalance in her legs. Quick as light he was behind her and caught her forcing her to sit back down.
She still didn't trust him, but given everything she had been through he had her right where he wanted her and if she were to lie she knew he'd figure it out. After hearing what happened with the other senshi, she made sure her body was completely covered before she took the time to detransform. She couldn't have been more right, for just as she did , any sign of clothing went with it. :When we are reborn, they sure make sure no stone is left unturned: she thought to herself.
"I understand that you may not trust me, but think about it what choice do you really have?" the man replied running a hand through his plate blonde hair.
"if you put it that way I guess your right, but just know I don't trust easy. My trust is something earned." Minako said with a bit f a growl not happy with the idea of this man seeing her in her element.
"Excuse me I'll get you some clothes." the man replied before adding, "by the way you can call me Zech's."
She nodded knowing his name did offer some bit of comfort yes, but still not enough to convince her completely. Pulling her phone out she searched for something that might look like a plain over sized white T-shirt to slip on. Even though he appeared harmless right now didn't mean that he couldn't hurt her later. Before she died in her past life, the news was littered with under cautious people and one of the biggest con jobs most played was harmless friend. The news of the war against OZ didn't seem to help matters much either. Add to that the fact she herself declared a war on behalf of her princess. How could have she been so stupid, if only she had known. But, how could she have…? Sighing she righted herself as the man that had called himself Zech's, entered the room with a plate of food and some water. "Don't worry its not poisoned, but you should eat and drink something." he offered sitting the tray in front of her then slowly backing off to watch from a distance.
Minako regarded the food for a minute before picking some up and smelling it and looking it over carefully. After she convinced herself that Zech's didn't poison the food, she allowed herself to consume over half the plate and nearly all of the water while at the same time trying to be a lady about the whole thing. A soft chuckle came from the other side of the room and Minako paused in her eating to look up at him with a "what are you looking at?" type look.
"Why nothing my dear, sounds and looks like you haven't eaten anything in a while. Must be why you fainted." he remarked.
She nodded. "I rarely give myself half a chance for anything much anymore. My singing takes up most of my time." she admitted thankful that he didn't seem to know about her previous encounters with brain toomers.
" now you get some rest." he commented softly before resuming his seat at the small desk in the far corner of the room.
She yawned in spite of herself, but honestly what could she have done? The battle had taken a lot out of her, but she couldn't let him know that. After all was or was he not a part of this OZ that she and her senshi friends were fighting against? All thoughts and questions aside she allowed herself to sleep.
However, for one senshi getting an once of sleep appeared to be out of the question. Instead she had to watch helplessly while a friend that she had met in a hospital of some kind completely lost his mind. There was no stopping the laser beams and Quatre had to watch as his father took his life, only to have his own sister die saving him. Makoto had tried to console him but with little luck. Tears ran and streamed down his face and a darkness that she had seen and wished she didn't know existed. It had consumed many people in her past life, and she feared that she was wrong on the matter. "Quatre, Onegai….matte…think about your loved ones…" she begged as her gaze locked on his.
"The colony is my enemy, they have turned their backs on me, and you want me to stop and think about what I am doing!" he growled in a hiss that she knew not to be his or any part of him.
:Iie…Iie..": she thought shaking her head trying to deny that it was even happening. More then anything she wanted to, but she knew that she couldn't. "Don't do this!" she pleated one last time only to find herself face to face with a stain glass window and herself nearly falling to her death, if it hadn't been for the fact the planet power of Jupiter flowed through her blood she surely would have..
Shaking her head she rebounded and started to hunt Quatre down. She didn't know how, but somehow she was going to have to break him to his senances before he caused even more deaths. "Quatre… calm down…" Makoto continued to beg but it all appeared to fall on deaf ears.
"I thought I told you to stop trying to tell me what to do." he spoke slowly evenly and most frightening of all with a vengeance and voice that didn't even sound like him.
:I hate doing this my friend, but I'm afraid of what I might do otherwise: she thought as she started at him at a slow run bowling him over and causing him to knock himself out. While out she shot him with a relaxing medicine that would keep him like that for a while and hopefully force him to snap out of his stopper before he hurt himself or someone else in his rage.
As he slept Makoto took the time to explore his home. In one chamber she discovered a project he had been working on. A mobile suit much like the ones that sent her flying into that hospital, but this one looked much bigger and had different colors on it and what she guessed to be much stronger weapon systems. "wow.." she mused allowed. :I had better try and stop him before this thing finds its way into society.
Before she could think more on the subject, Rei's call came through to her cell. Like with Minako she answered her phone quickly in hopes of it being news on her friend. "Moushi moushi?"
"Our princess lives. Minako is fine as well. I have to call Ami yet though." Rei reported starting the conversation.
"So you have found her then?" Makoto asked referring to their princess.
"Hai, I'm going with Barton, Trowa, and Yuy, Heero to track her down seeing as how Yuy-san knows where he had last left her. I'll call you as soon as I know more." Rei commented.
"Good then, I have met a friend here and if I can snap him to his since I'll see if I can get him to help us meet up with you guys." Makoto stated.
"Well good luck, and he or she needs to have a good frame of mind for taking on this job, because…. We are in way over our heads.." Rei finished ending their connection.
Makoto nodded to herself knowing, and wishing her friend was or wasn't right she didn't know for sure. What she did know however, was that she had to stop Quatre's plans before he took to many lives including those of her friends and princess as well as most of, if not all the colonies in outer space.
Shaking her head she sighed to herself slowly making her way back to Quatre's room where she had left him. The medicine had done its job and Quatre slept off what ever was bothering him or so she had hopped. Truth be told she had gotten a liking for the guy ever since that day in the hospital, when his own ister had called them twin walking materials. Yet, the question remained how could she let him know that…?
Quickly an idea formed in her head. Right or wrong she didn't care at this point, but she knew her fears had to be brought to light somehow. Slowly she reached over stroking his hair softly leaning down. Slowly she captured his lips in hers and held them there for several long moments. This move would either bring him closer or push him away she didn't know, but that didn't mean she didn't want the first option. Now to wait and see his reaction if any when he awoke from his slumber.
