The Power of a Name
Hello everyone! Surprised to see me? I certainly hope not. How could you ever seriously think I would do that to you? I'm far too attached to this story to end it, and even though like a novel, it was time to finish it. But that doesn't mean I can't have another after that, and then another, and then.
I want to thank all of the people, who strongly supported me in this story, as it made me get this chapter out so soon, just because I don't want to disappoint you all.
And even though this isn't that great, as I mainly tried to give so many perspectives that I couldn't focus so much on one person. But it's just a beginning, and I hope you enjoy.

Heero kneeled in the spot where just seconds before his beloved Usa had been. For real, and without any tricks. But just when he was so sure that nothing could ever go wrong, before he could even explain anything to her, or tell her that he loved her more than anything in the world.she had been snatched away from him! All he had been able to do was hold her in her arms, and smell her hair, and feel her pressing against him. And while that was far more than he had ever expected, It was still not nearly enough to satisfy him.
And as he kneeled there, and after the confusion began to fade, all of the pain came rushing in to overwhelm him. TWICE he had been forced to be separated from her. All of the rage over seeing how she was treated when he couldn't do anything about it, and the scream that ripped through her throat as that purple energy took her wouldn't leave his head. All of the pain, the anger, the frustration overwhelmed his senses, and he tilted back his head, and he screamed it all out at the world.
***
Wufei unconsciously took a step backwards. His mind still hadn't caught up with him yet, and this was just another thing to blow his mind away. First Duo had been shot, and that would have been enough for anyone, but then his friend Amei, the first girl he had actually gotten close to, and the girl he thought he knew so well had not only jumped out of her wheel-chair, but she had run faster than he had ever seen anyone to get to Duo's side. And then she had done what had finally broken his careful composure. She had placed her hands on their surely dead friend's chest, closed her eyes, and then started to glow a brilliant silver so bright, that he had to look away from her! What kind of insanity was this anyway? She had stayed like that for a while, and then the light began to fade, and she was back to her usual self, that is if you avoid the fact that this was the first time he had seen her out of her accustomed chair.
And THEN, Heero, the boy who had gone missing had run into the room, and stared at her. And one more phenomena had been added to the list, the Perfect Soldier actually had all sorts of emotions running across this face at the time.
And it had all just gone down hill from there. A very sappy scene had occurred, that nearly made him empty the contents of his stomach all over the floor! His student and his 'friend' seemed to know each other, although how that was possible was only another thing that never should have happened. And just when he was about to go in and demand some answers Heero had been thrown across the room, even though that no one had done so. And Amei had been sucked into a purple portal. And the entire time Heero called Amei Usagi.
Wufei sighed, and now.now black lightning was beginning to surround Heero, much like static electricity would. Would this day never end?!
***
Heero was gone to the world, as he knew it. He was only surrounded by pain, and rage, and an intense loneliness which clouded his senses. He was aware that something was happening to him, much the same as when he had first seen that bastard Mamoru hit Usagi, and he had been unable to prevent it. Only that time Kaninisha had done something to him to make him black out, and nothing had really happened.
A few of his senses caught the vague impression that much like Usagi had been glowing silver, he was being surrounded by a inky black aura, and that a tingling feeling was being caused by a strange sort of dark energy rippling along the edge of his body.
But Heero didn't care about any of this, if he even was aware enough to fully realize what was going on. All he knew was that he wanted Usagi back, and he wanted her NOW!
***
Yuriko watched painfully as her son was forced to come to terms with his power for the first time, and the situation surrounding the circumstances were hardly those she had desired for him.
Because oftentimes-incredible emotional trauma would bring dormant powers to a new life, and with that life came an incredible strength. And with the complete lack of control that Heero had.she shuddered at the thought.

The wind whipped his short blonde hair against his already red cheeks, and made his T-shirt billow about him. It had been a beautiful summer day, and the cool of the night was a welcome relief from the oppressive heat. The brisk night air brought all of the scents of the forest, and sounds of the forest filled his ears as he drove down one of the back roads just outside Jubban.
The starts filled the night air with it's own light, and the moon was full. All in all, Motoki (Andrew) was in a good mood. So what if he wasn't supposed to be, he never did anything the normal way anyway. But a part of him wouldn't stop nagging at him that he should be upset. After all, the past 6 months had been hell for everyone, not the least of all him.
For starters, was the disappearance/death of a certain "Meatball Head" who he had always seen as a little sister. Sure, he knew that she had a crush on him for a while, but that didn't stop him from seeing he as a beloved sibling. He knew she would get over it, and they could go back to being friends, good friends. And he was right; she DID get together with someone he knew was much better for her than he could ever be. His best friend Mamoru had fallen head-over-heels for her, and even Motoki had to admit that they were an adorable couple. But somehow that had all fallen apart, and no one-not even Mamoru knew why. She had done something that no one as light hearted and innocent as her would have ever reverted to doing, and taken her own life. It had left all of her friends mourning, and after her death Mamoru had seen anyone who used to know her as a painful reminder, and hadn't wanted anything to do with him. And then his girlfriend had mailed him just a month later and said that their relationship wasn't working out, as most long-distance ones didn't and had broken up with him. And she had left him completely heart-broken.
And after all of that this small town never was the same. All of his friends were distant with each other, the link that held them together gone forever. And his job just wasn't as enjoyable anymore, not that he didn't have people do share it with. He was all alone.
Motoki was suddenly brought back to the road when his headlights illuminated a shadow right in front of him. Cursing for not seeing it any sooner, Motoki slammed on the brakes, praying that he reacted quickly enough.
But a distant thud assured him that he didn't, and he rushed out of the car, tears streaming down his face as he came to the realization that he had most likely killed someone.
***
Usagi was surrounded by a vortex of colors. Her mind screamed against what was happening to her. Someone had taken her away, kidnapped her and she had no idea why. One second she had been safe in the arms of her love, and the next she was drifting through the void between space. Completely adrift and all control of her life was taken away from her.
And then just as quickly as she was taken from her world, she fell into darkness.
At least, it seemed like complete darkness for as second, and she quickly came to her feet. She was just beginning to make out the images of trees in the distance, and the pavement under her feet when she saw two bright lights ahead of her.
And then she was thrown from her feet as what she realized she had been hit by a car.
And then all she knew was blackness.
***
Motoki kneeled by the girl that he had hit, and gently touched her in the shoulder. She was so sure she was dead. He pressed his fingers on her limp wrist, and his heart nearly stopped when he realized hers was still beating. So she was alive, but for how long.
He gently turned her over to see what was wrong with her, and his eyes shot immediately to the bleeding gash on her forehead. But then his eyes drifted down to his face.
And saw Usagi.

OK, don't kill me! I know it's not a very long chapter, but I really wanted to get it out sooner rather than later, and I can always update again. Now at least you can know that the saga of Light, Dark and Shadows will still go on, and as long as there is more to write, I will continue to tell the story.
I would love to hear from you in reviews, so I hope you take the time to say something.
And email me at sirencalling@yahoo.com there were some people who said there were too many 'unresolved' issues in this story, and I know of most of them, but if there are any little things I haven't finished, I would love to hear how I can do that.
