“When did it get so dark?”

She was walking down a seemingly deserted street. How did she get there? She didn’t know. Where was ‘there’? She didn’t know that either. What was in store for her, now that she was ‘there’? She hoped to find out.

“Don’t come any closer!” A man shouted from inside his closed shop.

“Excuse me?” She asked, a bit confused. She walked toward the glass window.

“Don’t even try to break that glass! It’s shatter proof!” The man shouted. She noticed a tinge of fear in his voice.

She was about to walk away when something compelled her to touch the glass, to test it. She walked back toward the window and lightly tapped it with her forefinger. The glass shattered into a million pieces. They fell at her feet. She jumped back at this. The man had seemingly gone insane with fear and ran, crying, to the back of his shop.

She backed up, frightened at what had just happened.

“Defy me?” The broken pieces asked. “I’ll kill you first. But now I’ll give you a chance. Run.”

And she did.

A small group of people met at an intersection.

“Have you found her yet?” They all asked at the same time.

“We’ll keep looking. Come on, let’s split up again.” One with unusually long bangs said.

They all nodded and went separate ways. Since an event will happen to the one with chocolate brown hair and Prussian blue eyes, we’ll follow him and come back to the others later. The aforementioned person went down the path to his immediate right. He went down the street and asked people passing by if they had seen a girl, and then described her. Everyone he met shook their heads. He was about to give up and go back when someone ran out of a side street, bumped him, neglected to apologize, and kept running at top speed the way he was going before he decided to turn back. Now none of this was strange except the fact that the person had been exactly the one he was looking for, so of course, he ran after her. And he was so preoccupied with the task of catching her that he somehow missed the shadow that had fallen over the two of them.

She’d bumped into someone. She knew who it was. She didn’t care. She kept running. She felt him running after her and she heard him calling her name but she refused to stop. That is, until she got tackled.

He’d tackled her, he’d had to, she wouldn’t stop. And now she was squirming, trying to get out of his tight hold on her.

“Heero, let go of me NOW!” she shouted, desperately, fearfully.

“Not unless you promise not to run away.” He replied in monotone.

“Odin, please.” She pleaded, as she fainted most likely from exhaustion and malnutrition.

“How could she have--?” He asked in bewilderment.

Of course, he got no answer, of course. He gently picked her up and made his way back to the intersection. His friends were waiting for him there.

“I found something.” He said drawing their attention.

“Sheree, Heero, you have to let me go, please, not her real name, PLEASE PUT ME DOWN!” Relena shouted, she had just woken up.

She started violently thrashing, trying to get out of his grasp. All this only made him hold on tighter.

“Isn’t Sheree Quatre’s cousin?” Duo asked.

“You mean the one that just came to live with us?” Trowa asked.

“Yeah that is her.” Quatre said.

“But how would this onna know that one?” Wufei asked.

Heero didn’t say anything for a while and then he finally said, “If you’re saying that Sheree is a fake then you’ve got to be wrong.”

“Hey, man, just cos she’s your girlfriend doesn’t mean—“ Duo started.

“Shut up and lets get back to the Sank Kingdom.” Heero hissed.

Everyone else nodded stiffly.

“LET ME GO. DON’T TOUCH ME, LET GO OF ME! TROWA, DUO, QUATRE, WUFEI, I DON’T CARE JUST ANYONE BUT HIM! MAKE HIM PUT ME DOWN! LET SOMEBODY ELSE CARRY ME BUT NOT HIM! HE’S NOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE! I CAN’T TOUCH HIM AND I DON’T WANT TO! HEERO! PUT ME DOWN!” Relena shouted.

“Heero, why don’t you let one of us take her?” Quatre asked, all of Relena’s yelling was unnerving him.

“NO!” Heero shouted.

“Geez you don’t have to yell!” Duo exclaimed.

“Don’t fight.” Relena whispered, tears were now streaming down her face, “I don’t want him near me but you fighting will make it worse…can we just go please?”

The guys made it to the car and sped off toward the airport.

Meanwhile, at the palace, Sedusa laughed. And in Carrion Mrs. Gaspard smiled a malicious smile, while her husband watched her warily.
