***************
That afternoon, Serena walked out of school feeling better and ...
happy.
"Hey Serena, where are you going?"Amy asked her as she saw her
friend heading a different direction.
"I thought I would go out for awhile it's Friday, do you
want to come?"Serena replied.
"No, I have to get home and help mom with the patients at her
work,"Amy refused.
"Oh. Well see ya Ames!"Serena waved and continued out.
For hours she was gone and then approached her way home. But something
was different..something not right and she could sense it.
(What's this feeling?)Serena said to herself as she got closer to
her home.
As she got closer, she halted and drew in a gasp.
"No...no, it can't be!"Serena shook her head in disbelief as she
saw fire and smoke from her home.
(Mom, dad...Sammy)Serena went over her head and did something drastic.
Serena ran over to the door and opened it and went in. Fire and
smoke met her, but she just ignored it as she went deeper into the
dangerous parts of the house.
"Mom! Dad! Sammy! Someone! Answer me!"Serena called out, coughing
inbetween.
"Please!"Serena called out once more and found herself in the middle
of the house.
"Please,"Serena softly cried out.
She surveyed the area once more and her gaze went down on the
ground. She bent down as she recognized what it was. It was a
picture of them, her loving parents. All of them were smiling
there but the fire got to it and was slowly eating up the
picture with its flames.
"Mom...dad...Sammy..."Serena whispered as tears began to run down
her face.
The fire continued to grow but somehow...it never touched her.
(How can this happen? How?!)Serena wondered to herself.
"No!!"Serena screamed out in pain wrenching sobs.
Serena picked herself up and ran out of the door and out of the
building. Tears flew from her eyes as she ran and ran. People
saw her and stood in awe about how she got out of building
unharmed when most of it was in fire but not one of them followed
her there.
As she passed more people she heared bits and pieces about how
her house came to be.
"The Tsukino house..."one of them started.
"..on..fire,"another said.
"...a fight...the house was in the way..."another gossiped.
"house and the family in there....then the fight outside turned
intense and a bomb was set off nearby and the house got
caught,"a woman added in.
"The family didn't get away,"a man included.
"Oz was included in that fight, they planned it,"said the woman.
"Yes and someone came to try and stop it,"said the man.

Serena stopped herself from listening and continued on..she didn't know
where she was going and she didn't care.
After some time, she reached the place where she goes every
morning and an escape from life. She sat down on the top most step
and put her head down. Tears went down her face and she just sat
there, not moving.
The cool wind fluttered by and went through her long blond
hair as Serena continued to sit there in silence with her small
sobs. But after awhile, she stopped.
(Crying won't bring them back. I refuse to
cry. I won't....)Serena said to herself as she raised her head
and wiped her tears.

"I heard what happened not too long ago,"a voice said from behind her.
"Have...you ever lost people who you hold close
dear to you,Heero?"Serena asked with bitterness.
"Yes...a long time ago,"Heero replied softly as he sat down next to
her.
"Then..in a way, you know what I'm going through right
now,"Serena softly said as she turned to stare at him.
Heero looked back at her and saw the tear stains and the red, puffy
eyes.
(I'm sorry that this happened to you...)Heero said within his head
as he gazed into her crystalline blue eyes.
He noticed that her eyes changed a bit from last time...this time
it lost its warmth and happiness..it was filled with lost.
"I have nowhere to go now. I've lost everything in one day.
My home, my family, and everyone probably thinks I'm
dead,"Serena said with a small chuckle at the last word.
"Dead...I would probably prefer that right now. I should've
been there. I should've died along with my family. It would
be better than being alone here with nothing left,"Serena said with scorn.
"No! Don't think like that! You're family wouldn't want you to
die as well. They wouldn't,"Heero cried out as he stared into her eyes.
Her eyes shined with helplessness and sorrow as well as pain and threatening
tears.
"I don't know what to do anymore...I just...don't,"Serena said as she drew
back from him and turned her face.
"I can't face them...all of them..."Serena continued in a whisper.
"Come with me. You can probably stay with me and the
others,"Heero encouraged.
Serena turned and stared at him in wonder and hope.
"Really? Can I?"Serena questioned.
Heero gazed at her eyes and gave a reassuring small smile at her.
"Yes,"Heero nodded in response.
Serena gave him a small hug and for the first time since the
incident a smile...a genuine smile.
"Thank you.."Serena said.

The two walked down a long winding street and pass several others
in a comforting silence. As they neared the place, Serena stopped
and stared in awe at the huge building.
"That's...that's where you stay?"Serena sputtered.
"It's a friend of mine's. He's in there along with others.
You'll meet them soon enough,"Heero replied.
Heero guided Serena toward the huge building and stopped in front
of the door. Heero knocked on it and then it was answered by a
taller, older man.
The old man stared at Heero and then at Serena before letting
them inside. They stood by the doorway in quiet reverence for awhile
while the old man went away and soon enough four young men came in.
One of them Serena knew at once.
(Duo...he lives here as well?)Serena said inside her head as she
stared at them all.
There was a guy who looked at her with indifference and folded
arms with black hair and dark black eyes. Another a bit taller
and had brown eyes with bangs that covered one eye. One beside him
was a bit comforting with platinum blond hair and shining blue eyes,
it was warm and inviting. Duo, she knew, who stood there with
his brown braided hair and shining indigo eyes.
"Hello Heero. Who's that with you?"the platinum blond asked.
"Her name is...Usagi. Quatre. Do you mind if she stays with
us?"Heero asked.
The black haired one blinked and the tall brown haired one seemed
to have shifted his position a bit. Duo widened his eyes a bit.
"Of course she can. There's a lot of room here, Miss Usagi.
You're welcome since you're a friend of Heero's,"Quatre greeted
with an inviting smile.
"Thank you...please call me Usagi...none of that formalities,"Serena/Usagi
said with a small smile.
"Call me Quatre,"Quatre said in response.
Heero steered Serena little off and faced the others and began to
introduce them.
"The one with the black hair is Wufei Chang. Next to him
is Trowa Barton with the brown hair and quiet. And you already
know Duo and Quatre,"Heero introduced and pointed to each of them.
"They stay here too?"Serena asked.
"Yes, they're the ones I told you before coming in here,"Heero
nodded in reply.
Just then the older man returned and Quatre quietly spoke to him
before facing her.
"This is Rashid. He'll show you to your room,"Quatre introduced.
Serena nodded before following him.
"Thank you..all of you,"Serena said before leaving the room.
Once gone, the four comrades of Heero Yuy turned to stare at him.
"So..."Duo started slyly.
"Omae o korosu, Duo Maxwell,"Heero threatened as he got out his
gun and pointed it at him.
"So who is she, Heero?"Quatre asked trying to stop them before the
violence could quickly spread.
"...you have to ask her Quatre. It's none of my business.
All I know is that she's..lost as well,"Heero said.
"So Usagi is in trouble as well, eh?"Duo said.
"Weak onna,"Wufei muttered.
Heero turned his gun toward Wufei.
"Wow! He cares all right!"Duo exclaimed.
"Please stop this!"Quatre pleaded.
Heero hesitated but nodded as he put his gun away.

Serena followed Rashid down a series of halls and passing various
doorways before reaching her room.
"Soo..Rashid. How long have you known Quatre and them?"Serena
asked as she tried to start a conversation.
"I've known Quatre for several years. As for his
comrades..not that long..about two years at the most,"Rashid replied.
"That's nice..."Serena nodded.
"Well, here you are Miss Usagi. You're room,"Rashid said as they
reached their destination.
"Please..call me Usagi, Rashid,"Serena/Usagi insisted.
"Very well..Usagi,"Rashid nodded as he opened the door for her.
Serena/Usagi nodded in approval and entered the room. Serena stared
at the huge room with a Queen size bed and a laptop at the side and a
balcony, too! There was a full length mirror and other necessities
and even a walk-in closet!
"Wow.."Serena/Usagi said in awe.
"Glad you like it,"Rashid nodded in approval,"I shall be leaving
you here for now."
Serena just nodded and continued to stare as Rashid closed the
door behind him.
As she neared the small chair nearby the table side she sat down
and looked at herself in the other mirror that was there.
(Well..I do remember that wish I made...that one night..so long
ago..I wished for something different and here it is. Right here..
right now..a new thing but I never figured the consequences
it would cause.)Serena thought to herself as her eyes flashed with
resentment and sadness.
"I just have to try is all.."Serena whispered.

The sun was high overhead and glittering with its beautiful glow
that made the blue sky more calm and graceful.
*knock* *knock*
Serena turned to stare at the door and got up to answer it.
As she opened the door, she was met with Duo.
"Hey. Don't you want to eat lunch?"Duo asked.
"Sure thing.."Serena replied.
As they went down the hall, Duo looked at her from time to
time.
"Uhmm..Usagi?"Duo asked.
"Yes?"Serena/Usagi said.
"What happened? I know something must've happened if Heero
brought you here. You do have a family after all..I could
tell.."Duo said.
"Oh..I guess I might as well tell..right? After all..
I'm staying here,"Serena said hesitantly.
Duo waited.
"For one thing..I don't have a family anymore. You see..there
was a fire...and.."Serena started.
"You don't have to say anymore. I heard about that..in the
news..I didn't know all the details though,"Duo interrupted.
"Thanks..it would've been difficult telling you the whole
story,"Serena said in gratitude but then she turned her head
away.
"Look. Usagi...Serena..I..I'll help you with this..okay? I've
lost my family too...ever since I was a little kid..I'll
take care of you, kay?"Duo reassured her.
Serena gazed up at Duo's sincere eyes and gave a small smile.
"Thanks a lot Duo,"Serena said with a nod.
"Great! You look better smiling, you know,"Duo said with a grin and a wink.
With that, Serena smiled a bigger one.
As they reached the dining room, all of them were there. Serena
sat down next to Heero and Duo sat down in front of him.
They ate in silence throughout the meal...until desert came that
is.
Duo was finishing up his desert and then stopped to look around
at them all and swallowed up the remaining pieces. Serena stared
at him in awe and then he looked around and saw Wufei not eating
his yet and then reached over to get it.
"Hey!"Duo protested when Wufei saw what he was doing and slapped
his hand away.
"Don't you dare, Maxwell!"Wufei growled.
"Do what?"Duo asked in his sincerest voice.
"You were going to eat my dessert!"Wufei exclaimed.
"Well...you weren't going to eat it!"Duo sniffed.
"I didn't get to it yet!'Wufei shouted.
"Hmph!"Duo said and frowned.
Serena gave a small shake of her head and leaned over to Heero.
"Do they always do that?"Serena asked.
Heero gave a small nod in reply.
(Well...this is different from what I'm used to..)Serena said in her
head.

After lunch, Serena went off to explore the place and saw various
rooms in there. But after awhile...she started getting lost.
(Now where...am I?)Serena wondered as a small panick started rising
up from her chest.
Just then she heard the sound of punching. Serena warily strode over
and opened the door, there was Wufei punching at the punching bag and
doing other forms of techniques.
For awhile that went on and then he stopped and gazed at her.
"What do you want onna?"Wufei demanded.
"You don't have to call me onna....Wuffie! I have a name and it's
Usagi!"Serena/Usagi retorted.
"Don't call me Wuffie onna!"Wufei exclaimed.
"Then don't call me onna!"Serena shouted back.
"Great...another Maxwell,"Wufei muttered.
"Oh really?"Serena cocked her head in mild interest.
"I call him Wu-man,"Duo said from behind as he went in beside her.
"Don't call me that Maxwell!"Wufei growled.
"Whatever..Wu-man,"Duo shrugged and sat down on the bench nearby.
"Onna! What are you doing here! A weak onna like yourself
shouldn't be here!"Wufei said.
"Don't call me onna, Wuffie! It's Usagi! U-S-A-G-I!! And don't call
me weak!"Serena shouted.
"And don't call me Wuffie! It's Wufei!"Wufei exclaimed.
"Look..if you don't want to be called Wuffie then I suggest
you don't call me onna,"Serena reasoned out.
"If you don't call me Wuffie.."grumbled Wufie in agreement.
"Good,"Serena nodded.
"So..o---Usagi..what are you doing here?"Wufei asked.
"She probably got lost...this is Quatre's mansion after all,"Duo reasoned out.
"Yup! You're right! I was looking around when I lost my bearings
of the place,"Serena/Usagi nodded.
"Figures,"Wufei muttered under his breath.
Usagi chose to ignore this as she stared at the punching bag
and around the room. Wufei got up and went over to Usagi/Serena and
Duo.
"Let's go,"Wufei grumbled.
"Huh?"Usagi tilted her head in question.
"What he means is, we'll show you around! Isn't that nice of
Wu-man?"Duo grinned as he got ahold of Serena's/Usagi's hand
and guided her to the door.
"Don't call me Wu-man, Maxwell!"Wufei grumbled.
So for the rest of the day, they showed Serena around the house.

That night, Serena gazed out at the shining moon and stars and
recalled a memory that happened not too long ago.
*Flashback*
The sunrise and over at the basketball court back at her
home.
"You know...it's been awhile since we first met. At first
you were so distant and we wouldn't speak to each other. Now...we
sort of talk...it's quite odd what time does to people. It
changes them a lot, doesn't it,"Serena said to him.
"Mmm...yeah..it does,"Heero nodded in monotone.
*End of Flashback*
"I was right..time does change people..it changed my life
for sure,"Serena/Usagi whispered out at the night sky.

To be continued...
