Chapter 1

The Gun

It was a beautiful day. Umagi was amazed at how beautiful an earth day could be. Umagi had arrived at Releena's Mansion just the day before, and it had been raining non-stop until this morning. The air was damp, as well as the soil. Umagi was out in the vast garden, trying to get her thoughts into order. She couldn't stop thinking about Releena's boyfriend/bodyguard, Heero. Ever since she had met him she was absolutely captivated.

~*~*~* Flashback ~*~*~

Umagi quickly surveyed the crowd for her cousin Releena as she walked off the shuttle ramp. But to her dismay, Releena wasn't there. Disappointed Umagi took out her vid. Cell phone, and dialed Releena's cell number. Almost expecting her to be previously occupied. Yet to her surprise Releena answered after about two rings. Releena looked startled to see Umagi, but that didn't seem to impair her speech.

"Hello Umagi"

"Hey Releena, where you at?"

"I'm sorry, my meeting with the representative of colony 239 went longer than we planned, but I'm on my way to pick you up as we speak! I would've sent Millardo, but he's tied up in Preventor business."

"Alright, I'll meet you out front in a few minutes"

"Ok, I'll see you in few minutes"

"Later"

Umagi watched Releena's face disappear from the vid. Screen. She jammed the cell phone into her handbag, and gracefully made her way to the baggage claim. She met the gaze of several men who were apparently looking at her. Yet why wouldn't they? Umagi was, by many standards, very beautiful. Plus she resembled her cousin Releena in many ways. She had the same honey-blonde hair, that extended to her slender waist. Her eyes were aqua-blue-green. Her figure was nearly perfect.

After retrieving her bags, Umagi ran out the front exit. Apologizing to people she bumped into as she passed. Within a few minutes Releena's limo pulled up in front of Umagi. Releena was quickly out of the limo. She was wearing a pink dress suit. The two embraced and began to talk.

"It' s been a while Releena"

"Too long, so how long will you be staying this time?"

"Two months, I'm sure it will be long enough to catch up"

About then Heero emerged from the limo, wearing (believe it or not) a suit, and tie. Umagi made that one fateful glance into his beautiful Persian blue eyes, and she couldn't look away.

"Umagi I would like to introduce my dear friend and body guard, Heero Yuy"

He nodded and said, "Pleasure." Umagi quickly regained her thoughts and replied "The Pleasure is all mine"

Releena smiled and asked Heero to help load Umagi's luggage into the trunk.

~*~*~*End Flashback ~*~*~*

Umagi had quickly learned to control her feelings around Heero after learning from Releena was dating him. Heero was so quiet, and mysterious, it was no wonder that Releena had fallen in love with him. Slowly Umagi's feet began to ache. Umagi stopped and looked around, and soon noticed how far away from the garden she had wandered. Umagi turned to leave only to see a man, in a trench coat, blocking her path. The man had grayish-brown hair and wore sunglasses to cover his eyes. He spoke in a deep tone, almost whispering.

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry if I did... Are you lost? You know lovely young lady, such as yourself, shouldn't be wandering around unescorted. Don't you agree?"

Umagi didn't know why but this man gave her the creeps. Unconsciously Umagi had been backing up. Before she knew it she bumped into a tree. Oh how she shrank into that tree, wishing that she could just disappear. He was already advancing to the point where he was almost literally on top of her. He flashed his gun that he had under his coat, just before pulling it out and pointing it right at Umagi. Ever so calmly he said, "Now be a good little girl and come with me. My friend would like to meet you!" He grabbed Umagi's left arm quite forcefully, and began dragging her away, the opposite direction of the Mansion. Yet with all the noise Umagi was making, while she tried to get the man to let go of her, he didn't hear the rapid footsteps approaching. That is until whoever was following them was practically on top of them. When the man realized that someone was following him, he yanked Umagi in front of him as a shield, pressing his gun to her right temple. "Move and she dies!" hollered the man. Umagi looked at her possible savior. Her heart jumped! Heero! No it couldn't be Heero; he was at a meeting with Releena. Than who was this? His hair was the same color as Heero's, but it was too long, it was in a braid that extended to his waist. He seemed stunned at the man's threat. He pointed at Umagi and said, "How could you destroy something so perfect?"

"I'm warning you one more step and she dies"

"You must not know who I am. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Duo Maxwell. I am an ex-Gundam pilot"

Duo, what a nice name thought Umagi. But wait, what was she doing fawning over some pretty boy while a lunatic held a gun to her head? Flushing the panic from her body, as she had been taught to do in Tae Kwan Doe, Umagi noticed that the man had left her right arm free. Which just happened to be right under the gun. Umagi then found that he had his attention focussed on Duo. Big Mistake! Ever so slowly Umagi slid her hand up her body, hoping that this Duo wouldn't give her away. Thankfully he had his attention somewhere else. She continued and quickly snatched the gun and elbowed the man in gut, all in one swift movement. He yelped in pain and let go of Umagi to be able to clutch his stomach. Umagi ran towards Duo, who by all right was surprised that "the damsel was no longer in distress." He grabbed the gun from Umagi and told her to run. Umagi did so quickly. Duo however pointed the gun at the man and began to threaten his life. The man seemed oblivious to Duo's threats. He pulled a gun out of his shoe, and aimed at… Umagi! Panicked Duo yelled at Umagi "Girl!" Umagi stopped at turned round to see Duo charging at her. He lunged at her just as the man fired off his gun.
