Yet another Miharu fanfic... 

Red Letter Day - A Gundam Wing fanfiction
Part One

Note: There are bound to be a few spoilers in this work.. be warned. 
If you haven't seen much of the series, or none at all and you don't 
want things utterly ruined for you, don't continue. All I need is 
more e-mail from you yahoos that don't take the spoiler warnings 
seriously. But continue if you wish.. and please enjoy. Dozo.. ^_^

Inspired by, and dedicated to, one angel who is quite dear to my heart. 

"All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for a red letter day
Like Christmas morning when you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby I'm hoping for that red letter day today "

    She looked in front of her, at the monitor in the Mobile Suit Taurus 
that had suddenly switched from the outside view to a woman's face. No. 
Not just a woman. THAT woman. The woman that had almost ordered the 
destruction of all of the colonies, and the civilians that resided in 
them. Lady Une. 

    And she had overrode the signal, switching back to the outside view. 
This was war. And war was ugly and unforgiving. Not only did she hate Lady 
Une, but she also hated war. 

   "I just love space."

   Those were the words that she had spoken to her superior, Zechs Merquise, 
earlier. But as she realized her words, Noin realized also what she had not 
included within them. At the sight of the incoming Tall Geese, those words 
slipped out of her mouth.

   "I love you, Zechs Merquise. No.. Milliard Peacecraft."

---

   They had stood back to back in the trainees' cafeteria, that looked more 
like a disco. The warmth from Zechs' body against hers, the soft metallic 
sound of their swords clinking together, the rich taste of the expensive 
imported wine. It almost made Lucretia Noin want to die where she stood, 
as long as it was with her noble, stoic Zechs Merquise. 
   
   Then, the bombs had gone off. And the sirens howled. So many of Noin's 
students were dead. The ones that were not going to die in war because they 
had been trained so well. What she wouldn't have given to have died in 
their places. 

   And then, the chinese boy that had almost killed her.. yet said that he 
didn't kill women and children. But those recruits.. all of them.. all of 
them were her children. And they were all children to someone on Earth, or 
in the colonies. It was all so wrong. Death. War. Destruction. She thought 
that none of those things were really in a human's nature. Only in OZ's
nature. 

   The masked face that helped her out of the ruined Mobile Suit. The one
that 
took her hand and led her out,  that told her that he was grateful for her
not 
recieving any injuries in the fight. Zechs.. Zechs Merquise.

   "Noin. I have arrived." 

   That voice. His voice always did run shivers up and down her spine. Being 
a military woman that is required to hide emotion, the familiar feeling of 
going gelatinous from the waist down was easily supressed for Noin. The head 
swimming, the quickening of one's pulse, the amplification of the beating of 
one's heart.. piece of cake.

   One thing that Noin had not given thought to was getting up from a sitting 
position too quickly. It was just a good thing that Zechs was right there to 
catch her before she hit the highly polished communications deck floor.

Author's notes:

Gasp.. gasp! Oh my goodness... I wrote a NON LEMON! And it's a NON EVANGELION 
fic, to boot.. I think I'm going dizzy... quick.. someone catch me..  ^_^
Whew. It's been a while since I have actually sat down and written a fanfic. 
And what better way to get back into writing than to use a new pen name and a 
new production studio?
I'm doing this in tiny installments.. mostly because I have the attention
span 
of a gnat with ADD on crack. So, I do hope to churn out some more of this in 
the future.. maybe one a week or something like that.. but readers of the 

Misato Chronicles know that I'm not one to be trusted with release dates. ^^;
Welcome to the new look of the former "Katsuragi Misato" fanfics. Hopefully
my 
works are a little polished up now, more refined, and definitely more
inspired. 
I just hope that I can get back into the swing of things and start putting
out 
some real series. One can hope.  ^_^
