"Oh, man, Quatre loves to
blame himself for everything if you let him. Sooner
or later, he'll start saying
that there's no air in space because he didn't
work on it hard enough."

Tomorrow Never Dies
Prologue: The Jubilance Of A
Common Future
The colony fired at the
satellite. "Father! FATHER!!!" yelled Quatre for
the final time as he saw the
satellite being fired apon. Oz....the
colonies....the colonies did
this, thought Quatre. Quatre tried his best to
move the space craft out of
harm's way, but, found it difficult. Quatre then
flew out of his seat and heaed
towards the other end of the ship. He braced
himself for an impact.
"Quatre!!" yelled Aria in alarm. She moved quickly
and took the impact for Quatre.
"Father...." whispered Quatre, as he watched
the satellite be destroyed.
"Quatre...." spoke Aria softly, "Father fought
very hard. He wasn't running
away at all, he put up a brave fight, don't you
think so?" Aria groaned as
the pain multiplied in her back. Quatre went to
her aid, "Aria, don't move,
you'll only make it worse"
Aria looked at Quatre,
"You're a kind person Quatre. Father was kind
too.....but, what did father do
to be deserved to be killed...." Tears
apeared in Aria's eyes, as did
Quatre's. Quatre blinked back the tears,
"People who are kind people
are sheding tears. But, nobody understands them.
Now, the people of the colony
are satisfied" Quatre turned to face the view
of the colony, "You people
are statisfied with this?!" Aria looked towards
Quatre, "Quatre, please, go
to earth" Quatre looked at Aria in shock, "Why?"
Aria smiled a sad smile,
"Because, I want you to stay with our cousin. Her
name is Michiru Kaioh. Please,
go and stay with her...ugh...." Aria closed
her eyes as the pain took over.
Quatre hugged his sister's body close to
him, "I will...and when I'm
finished on earth, I'll come back and make them
pay!!"
***
Michiru Kaioh played the violin
as the night made no sound. Not a
cricket chirped, nor did any
animal. She finished her masterpiece once she
heard the footsteps of her
eternal friend, and partner, Haruka Te'noh. "Don't
stop playing" said Haruka
firmly. Michiru looked at her, "Why?"
"Because your music gives
me the hope and will to carry out my destiny"
responded Haruka. Michiru smiled
at her, "I know that you don't want this
destiny, but, if we don't, the
earth shall perish" Haruka frowned, "I heard
about the war going on between
the colonies and earth" Michiru frowned,
"Yes, my dear little
cousin, Quatre, is fighting it. My uncle was extremely
upset about that" Haruka
turned away slightly, "Did you feel that disruption
when the war started?"
Michiru nodded, signaling that she knew what she
meant, "Yes, the sea was
raging against the shores" Haruka nodded, "Same
here." Haruka shook her
head to clear it, "We shouldn't be worrying about
something that doesn't concern
us. We need to get our hands on a pure heart
crystal"
"Yes, and quickly"
reprimended Michiru. Haruka and Michiru walked back
towards their apartment.
***
Quatre looked out the window as
he saw the the space craft near earth.
Earth, thought Quatre, I never
realized how precious and beautiful it was
before. Quatre took a folded up
photo from his pocket. It was a picture of
himself and his cousin, Michiru,
when they were five. Quatre didn't have
many memories of his childhood
to recall with his cousin, but, he hoped that
she was nice.
"Please fasten your
seatbelts, we are about to enter Earth's Atmosphere"
announced a stewardess. Quatre
looked out the window as he watched the earth
once again. Soon after the
landing procedures were excuted, Quatre was able
to depart and grab his suitcase.
He headed out of the airport and called for
a taxi. He instructed the driver
to take him to the Mugen School campus.
Once there, Quatre looked at the
peice of paper with the information on it,
and found Michiru's apartment on
the top floor.
Apartment 1025.....Quatre found
it and he knocked nervously on the door.
He gulped in nervousness. He
hadn't seen his cousin in ages and now, he was
suddenly going to show up at her
door and ask for her shelter. He hadn't had
time to write in letter in
warning, mainly because he'd get there before the
letter. Quatre looked up and
straightened as the door opened. A blonde
haired man had opened the door.
"May I help you?" he asked. Quatre gathered
his voice, "Yes, I'm here
to see Ms. Michiru Kaioh. She lives here, right?"
The man nodded, "Yeah, come
on in" said the blonde as he side-stepped. "By
the way, my name's Haruka Te'noh"
Quatre smiled, "I'm Quatre Raberba Winner"
This is Michiru's cousin,
thought Haruka. "Your Michiru's cousin,
right?" asked Haruka.
Quatre nodded, "Yes, I am. Has she ever mentioned me
before?" Haruka took
Quatre's suitcase, and set it right near the door.
Then, Haruka led him down the
hall, "A couple of times. She's in the music
room"
Quatre looked at Haruka's back
questionly, "Music room?" Quatre then
could hear the soft sounds of a
violin. Haruka stopped infront of a room,
and opened the door with the
turn of the brass doorknob. There, Quatre could
see a young woman with sea-green
hair, her fagile eyelids closed as she
played a musical masterpiece
that Quatre had never heard.
He was finally able to meet
her....his mysterious cousin. Soon, the
composition ended and she opened
her eyes to reveal soft, dark blue eyes that
held knowledge and concealed
something that was unindetifilable. "Quatre...?"
asked Michiru cautiously.
Quatre nodded and Michiru let
out a beautiful smile. "What are you doing
here?" she asked as she
moved close to him. "Father....he was killed, in
space. My sister, Aria, told me
to come here and stay with you" answered
Quatre, tears appearing in his
eyes. Quatre looked at Michiru and noticed
that she wasn't sheding any
tears.
Quatre blinked back his tears in
surprise. Why isn't she sheding any
tears? wondered Quatre to
himself, Doesn't father's death mean anything to
her? "Quatre...you can stay
here..." spoke Michiru after a moment of
silence. Quatre smiled
thankfully at her, "Thank you. But, I really don't
want to be a burden. I just
wanted to meet you, after so many years"
Michiru let her smiled grow,
"You will not be a burden. Why don't you
get settled in at the third door
down from this hallway....." Quatre left
out of the room and went to get
his suitcase and settle in.
"You know he can not stay
here..." spoke Haruka. Michiru shook her head,
"I can't just turn him
away, Haruka. He's family, and he has just gone
through a very tragic experience"
Haruka looked at her. "How come you're not
shedding any tears?" asked
Haruka. "If I sheded tears, then I wouldn't be
ready for when we have to take
the heart crystal of the carrier of a pure
hearted who holds a
treasure" Haruka nodded in agreement. Michiru put down
her violin and went to the room
where Quatre was to sleep in. She knocked on
his door, and when she got no
answer, she opened up the door.
There, on the bed, Quatre sheded
tears as he held a picture. She sat
down next to him and saw that
the photo was of a younger him, with his
father, her uncle. "Why did
father have to die.....?" cried Quatre softly.
"I know it's hard Quatre,
but, crying will not resolve anything" stated
Michiru. "How come you're
not crying?" asked Quatre as he turned his eyes
accusingly at her. "Didn't
you care at all about him?" Michiru turned her
head.
"Alot of sad things will
have to come in my life. I know it, something
that'll be harder to bear than
the grief of a family members death. If I cry
now, then, I won't be able to
take that of the future. Please try to
understand Quatre"
Quatre, was confused, but, still
nodded his consent. Michiru let out a
sad smile. "Now, you'll
have to go to school. School starts tomorrow, will
that be too early for you, or,
will you need more time to greive over your
father's death" Quatre was
about to say that he didn't want to go to school,
but, he recalled Michiru's
words.
Now, Quatre wanted to be as
strong willed as his cousin, and he nodded.
Michiru then continue.
"I'll enroll you at Mugen High School with us, is
that ok?" asked Michiru,
then, at his nod, she got up and prepared to make a
phone call to the principal,
saying that there will be a new student.
***
"Dr. Tomoe...?" asked Kaolinite
cautiously. "Kaolinite, I'm making
another daimon for you. Make
sure you don't waste this one like the others"
instructed Dr. Tomoe. "Of
course not, Dr. Tomoe" said Kaolinite before
disappearing. "Soon, we
shall gather all three talisman and the Purity
Chalice shall appear!! The world
will be covered in darkness by the soverign
of silence!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" laughed Dr. Tomoe, insanely.
***
Quatre walked behind Michiru and
Haruka as they walked to school. It
wasn't that far, so, they all
took a leisurely pace. Michiru glanced at
Quatre. "Don't be so down
in the dumps Quatre. Everything will turn out
fine. You'll like it here
too"
Quatre plastered on a smile, as
not to worry his cousin. "I'll try
Michiru-san" Haruka looked
back at him. "If you two really are cousins, you
should stop with the
formalities" Michiru nodded in agreement. "She's right
you know?" She? wondered
Quatre as he then looked at Haruka.
Quatre had to admit, at first
glance, Haruka did look like a man. But,
at second glance, you could tell
the more feminime pros. They soon made
their way to the main office and
Quatre signed himself up and got his scedule.
He went through his first four
classes, without so much as a sweat.
Though, he wasn't able to make
any real friends. But, during the last
period, he bagan to drift into
another thought. He wondered what was
happening with the other gundam
pilots. Especially Trowa. He wondered what
was going on with him. As well
as Heero, Duo and that solitaire guy, Wufei.
Quatre just hope they were
alright. As well as they rest of his family. His
thoughts were interrupted by the
teacher asking him a question. Quatre,
thankfully, had half paid
attention and answered the question.
***
"It's June Thirtieth!! My
birthday!!" exclaimed Usagi as her friends, and
herself were in the park. Rei
looked up from her history book. "Oh, it is?
Happy Birthday" she
muttered. Makoto looked up from her cooking book.
"Don't eat up too much
cake" she said. Minako looked up from her textbook.
"Happy Birthday" she
half mumbled. Ami put down her Algebra textbook.
"Now that you're older,
you'll have to work harder" stated Ami before
gathering her book, as did the
rest of them. Usagi spirits went from high,
to low.
"You guys don't even
care...." she sniffed. Just before Rei was about to
dissappear, she turned back to
Serena. "Just because it's your birthday,
doesn't mean you can skip the
study session today" she yelled before running
off to the temple.
Usagi sighed and trudged her way
around the city. She walked through the
busy streets of Tokyo. She
passed the arcade, not really up to wasting her
already low allowance on Sailor
V. She sighed depressingly, but, she then
caught sight of something in the
window. It was a pair of crystal, clear of
glass shoes. "Wow....their
beautiful...." muttered Usagi, but, she saw the
price tag in the window. She
could never afford that!!
Wait a minute, thought Usagi,
Mamo-chan can buy them for me! usagi then
ran off in search of her
boyfriend, Mamoru Chiba. Unknown to her, Kaolinite
was watching her. So that's the
next pure hearted target, thought Kaolinite
before teleporting away.
***
"Mamo-chan!!"
exclaimed Usagi as she attached herself. "Hey Usako"
greeted Mamoru. "What's
up?" Usagi giggled at Mamoru's cluelessness. He's
pretending not to know what
today is, giggled Usagi in thought.
Usagi stepped shyly away,
"Mamo-chan, I want you to buy me these glass
pair of shoes as a present.
C'mon!!" Usagi started to drag Mamoru to the
store she had been too. Mamoru
stopped her confusingly.
"Usako, christmas is still
a long ways ahead" said Mamoru haphazardly.
"Mamo-chan, don't you know
what today is?" asked Usagi with hurt evident in
her voice. Mamoru chuckled
nervously. "Of course I do Usako, I was just
joking"
Usagi brightened at his words.
"I knew you would, Mamo-chan" Mamoru
scratched the back of his head
nervously. "Um...it's the first day we
met...." Usagi looked at
him in horror and anger. She then lifted up her
left hand and slapped him on his
left cheek. "No it's not, you jerk!!" Usagi
then ran away, and left a
shocked Mamoru, and a whole lot of on lookers.
Kaolinite watched this a
telephone booth and smirked. She then
teleported out of the telephone
booth.
***
Haruka, Michiru and Quatre
walked by the park. Haruka was about to
continue, when Michiru said
someting. "Isn't that Usagi?" she asked. At the
mention of Usagi, Haruka turned
in the direction she was looking at and saw a
sobbing Usagi sitting on a
bench. Quatre frowned at the sight of the sobbing
blonde.
"What's wrong with
her?" he wondered with concern. "Let's see what's
troubling Odango" suggested
Haruka as she made her way to the sobbing blonde,
with Michiru and Quatre
following. Michiru walked up next to Usagi, and
handed her a hankercheif.
"Here, dry your tears"
whispered Michiru. Usagi looked up at Michiru in
surprise and took the offered
hankecheif. "Thank you" mumbled Usagi before
blowing her nose, rather loudly.
Haruka and Michiru were taken aback, but
smiled fondly at the younger
girl. Haruka and Michiru felt a connection to
this girl. Almost as if she was
their little sister, or some how a younger
daughter they watch over, and
made sure she never got in harm's way.
Michiru then brought Quatre
forward. "Usagi, this is my cousin, Quatre.
Quatre, this is our friend
Usagi" Quatre blushed at the attention he was
recieving. Usagi let out a small
smile. "Hello Quatre" greeted Usagi.
Quatre nodded his head slightly,
almost as an affirmitive. "Hello Usagi-san"
he responded.
Usagi then stood up and
approached him. Quatre blushed deepened. "Don't
call me 'Usagi-san'. You can
call me Usagi-chan like everyone else" she
said. Quatre nodded again.
"Or just Odango like everyone else" laughed
Haruka. Michiru rolled her eyes
at Haruka. Usagi glared at Haruka and hit
her playfully on the arm.
"Urusai" growled Usagi.
Haruka caught her hand before it
connected. "Now why would I do that?"
asked Haruka with a gleam in her
eye. Usagi blushed. "Oh no!! I'm late!!"
exclaimed Usagi as she realized
the time. She then gathered her school bag
and dashed off. "Bye
Haruka, Michiru. Nice meeting you Quatre!!" she bid
them farewell.
Haruka chuckled as she turned to
Quatre. "She's a good kid, but, she's
always late. And a klutz, but,
she has a big heart" said Haruka. "I can
tell...." said Quatre.
Quatre was always able to see the good in people. He
wasn't sure if it was a gift he
was given, or just an ability. He then
followed Haruka and Michiru back
to the yellow convertible that Haruka owned.

End of Prologue. I know it was
short, but, it is just a start.
