01: (all my chaps with be like this)
"Tsukino Usagi."
The women with frosty gray eyes and blood red hair smirked. "What kind of name is that? Bunny of the Moon? Boy, if you want in, you had better change your name."
'Kuso . . . I forgot I'm supposed to be a guy.' Usagi thought with a grin. "Shenji. Tsukino, Shenji." It was the only thing that came to her mind.
Since her departure with Rei, Usagi had jumped on the nearest train and, not knowing what had happened, had found herself here. Setsuna had contacted her and said she was in the future, that her friends knew nothing of her ever existing, and that, if she wanted, she was to become a Gundam Pilot. Of course, Setsuna failed to mention the part about Boot Camp, but this was fine by Usagi. Anything to get away.
"Shenji Tsukino. You look a bit girly to be a boy, kid. What are you; thirteen, fourteen? Have you even hit puberty yet?" The woman sneered.
Usagi held back tears of fear and nodded. "I have and I'm fourteen."
"You sure don't look-"
"Just sign my damn name." Usagi snapped, startled at her harshness. 'All those times with Haruka really ~were~ bad for me,' she thought.
The woman grinned. "About time you showed some manliness. You'll go through Boot Camp before you get to the real training. Your train is D, and you'll be sitting with a Maxwell. Duo Maxwell."
Usagi gave a brisk nod and took her military ticket. 'I hope no one figures out I'm a girl in an all-boy military Boot Camp. If I make it through that, I bet I can make it through the real training, too.'
Boarding the train, Usagi's mind quickly changed. Men and boys of all ages studied her as soon she stepped into the train car and snickered, narrowed their eyes, laughed.
"Look at the girly boy!"
Usagi narrowed her eyebrows as the taunting began. 'Laugh now, but when I learn how to fight and beat your ass, you won't be laughing much longer.' She sort of liked this new Haruka vocabulary, and she figured she'd need it to make it through as a tough 'guy'.
"Which one of you is Duo Maxwell?" she spoke up, figuring she wasn't bold enough because everyone laughed at her again. Luckily, she had hid all of her hair, not wanting to cut it, under a black cap, so it made her look considerably boy-ish.
"I said-"
"I am! I'm Duo!" A cheery voice spoke up amidst the laughing.
Usagi looked over the snickering and laughing heads to the back of the train where a boy with a long braid sat, stuffing his face full of train delacies. She mentally smiled. 'He looks pretty nice. Maybe he isn't as much of a jerk as these other guys.'
"Hi! Duo Maxwell. I run, I hide, but I don't lie. Who're you?"
"Us-Shenji Tsukino." Usagi said. 'Close one.'
Duo smiled at the boy sitting across from him in the train booth. 'He sure does look like a girl. Maybe he looks more like his mother.'
Usagi smiled at Duo. Energetic, nice, and he had long hair, which meant she could just tie hers back in a braid too. Deciding to do just that, she took off her cap. Immediately, the hair piled messily on the top of her head fell over her shoulders.
'Holy crap . . .' Duo thought as the boy's hair tumbled down and spilled onto the seat beside him. "And I thought ~I~ had a lot of hair." He joked as the boy smiled and began to braid his hair.
Just as Usagi was finishing her braid, another boy came over to where they sat.
She looked up and into the most confusing shade of blue eyes she had ever seen. They were a definite mix between amethyst and . . . something darker. Navy blue, maybe?
"Hi." She said, extending her hand and ignoring the eye-color matter for the moment. "Shenji Tsukino."
The boy standing in front of her just continued to glare. He looked at her hand, narrowed his eyes at her and took a seat by Duo. "Touché." She muttered, ignoring the sharp look of disgust she received from him.
"Kuso!" she heard someone yell next. "Not another braided baka!"
Usagi blinked up at a Chinese boy. 'Very rude . . . like Rei.' she thought, smiling up at him as her friend's name brought back happy feelings. "Shenji- "
"I don't care for your name, child. Unless you prove me wrong, all you are to me is another weak idiot like Maxwell."
'Well that was rude.' she thought, rolling her eyes.
"Awl, I missed you too Wu-man." Duo laughed as Wufei's eye twitched and the ebony-haired boy clenched his fists.
"My name is Wufei, you low-life scum-of-the-earth. Now get it right! Wu- FEI."
"Wu-MAN."
Wufei growled in frustration. Why must this little pompous he'd met in his other school insist on calling him 'Wu-man.' And now, another girly boy sat at ~his~ table. 'They are all weakling boys who deserve nothing more than to breathe the air.' Hiiro was the only acceptable one. He didn't give a damn about anything or any one, a true soldier to be.
Finally, a voice came on ringing throughout the whole train.
"Good morning, boys." The female at the ticket counter spoke. "If you'll take your seats, we can leave. If anyone would like to turn back now, I suggest you leave the train. This isn't going to be a fun year at a fun camp, so don't think of smores and camp fire stories."
The speaker clicked off and the train began to move after about five more minutes.
Usagi lay her head against the window of the train, looking out at the scenery passing by. 'Sheep, cows, horses, grass, hills . . . ' she thought of her friends, what they were doing, her family, what they were doing. 'Kami I miss you all so much, demo I had to get away. Gomen nasai, minna. I miss you all so much.' [AN: Alright. I've made a sudden resolution. Since I'm not in any way, shape or form Japanese, I'm not going to use the language anymore. I mean, what does it prove? I don't know a bit of Japanese other than what I pick up from other people's stories, and besides, it confuses those who don't know what the words mean. Any of Japanese sayings/words you see in this story with either be switched or taken out in the future. Thanks.]
Duo pushed a cup of hot coffee under the blonde boy's nose. He looked sleepy and home-sick already. 'He shouldn't have come if he couldn't handle this.' Duo thought sadly.
"Thanks." Usagi said, gingerly taking the steaming cup. She took a sip and immediately made a disgusted face. "Sugar," she choked out, frowning when Duo broke out into laughter.
The train ride was loud for the first few hours as boys got to know each other and began joking, but finally, it got quiet as boys rested.
Usagi sighed. 'I hope I make it through this. I tied those bandages around my chest so tight I can't tell I have any breasts any more. Goodbye, everyone. I'll never forget you.'
And that was the last of the Usagi Serenity Tsukino from Tokyo, Japan.
