Rei/Wufei
---
Mars, was often called the land of fire, though that was not the case. The surface of the planet was completely covered by red dust, and surrounding it was vast terrains of mountains. The mountains were so large, that some formed valleys and canyons. A large flowing river ran through the planet, they say if you drink from the river that your spirit will feel relieved of troubles. Many came to the planet to take part in the Martian festivals that were held. The planet was known for it's fireworks and it's excellent view of Mercury, Venus, Earth and the Sun. The kingdom was elegant, and it looked like one large firey palace. The whole palace looked much like a japanese shrine in ancient times. The palace was situated over a lake with red water, which inhabited some of the largest fish in the solar system. The palace had many red lanterns, with martian writing on them. The entrance to the palace was highly guarded at all times.
The princess of Mars was Rei Hino, a psychic girl who always spent her time in meditation. The princess was a firey, stubborn girl who was very protective of what she believed in. She often got in heated arguments with Usagi Tsukino, the princess of Earth's Moon.
There was a festival every year on Mars, it was dedicated to the fish of the planet. Many were greatful that one fish could feed people by the thousand, so they decided to dedicate a day off from their daily activities to the fish. Dinner and dancing was held inside the palace, deep in the center. It was a large room, with a see through roof, where you could see the stars.
The princess of Mars always favored this festival. She loved to see her people smile and dance, and she loved the taste of the fish.
There was one person who was at the festival she noticed, who was not dancing, but just stood there, his arms crossed, eyes closed, leaning against the wall. He was dressing in a soldier uniform, a thin asian-like sword leaning next to him.
A soldier, who was standing next to her, asked her to dance, she refused to answer his question unless he answered hers.
"Who is that boy..?" She pointed at the boy with a short ponytail, his hair pulled back, his features almost looked angry.
"Him? Oh, thats Wufei, the best soldier in my division. He's doesn't really smile much, in fact, he's very serious."
"Oh..." She hated to see this. He was the only one looking like he wasn't having a good time. She started to walk towards him.
"Hey hey! You didn't dance with me yet!" The soldier complained. She looked back at him, "Tough luck."
"Excuse me...?" She called out to him, he didn't move.
"Ummm.." She coughed, "Can you not hear me?"
He opened his eyes, and shot a glare at her, "Who are.."
She smiled at him, "Why aren't you dancing or anything? You should be giving thanks."
He stumbled back, "Princess!" He was startled, for in fact, he had a soft side towards the princess, never ever meeting her in person, only seeing her gracefully walk the palace.
"Is there something on my face..?" She gently touched her cheek, "Are you afraid of me?"
He almost fainted, but refused to show any sign of weakness. "Injustice! I'm just here to ..."
"..to give thanks, right?" She finished his sentence.
"...yeah." He looked away, 'not really, to protect you, that's what.'
"Good then! You would not mind dancing with me then?" She extended her hand out. He stared at her hand for a while, and took it, "I do not know how to dance, Princess."
"I'll show you, then." She looked into his eyes and smiled, "Then you'll know."

Afterwards, they went out to a bridge to talk a little bit. "So, Wufei.."
He jumped, "Y-you know my name!" She nervously laughed, "You are, after all, the best soldier in the sword division." He looked away and quickly turned a pinkish color.
"You fight so hard for our planet. I am honored to have someone like you in our army." She complimented.
"And we are honored to have such a.. l-lovely princess." He hesitated.
Silence.
"Cat got your tounge?" He stared at her.
"No." She glared back.
"Too weak to say anything?" He tested her.
"Weak? HAH anything BUT." She smile filled with pride.
"Weak onna."
"Take that back!" She shot at him.
"No! What I said is what I said. You are weak."
"Look who's running the planet." She mumbled, annoyed.
"Look who's PROTECTING the planet." He grinned, tapping his sword on his shoulder.
Her temper got the best of her, "One second you are soft with me, the next you are testing me! What business do you have with weak women of all you do is badmouth them!"
He shrugged, "You women are too much." Laughing, "You're still so weak , princess. Even though you are quite lovely."
"We'll see who's weak!"
"Try me." He grinned. "Fine!" She turned away. She could hear him snickering.
She quickly turned around to him and planted a kiss on his lips, pinning him against the bridge railing. After the kiss which lasted one minute, she pulled back, "If i'm so weak then how come I could take advantage of you so easily..?"
"Damnit." He said, dropping his sword and proceeded to continue.
