I'll be taking you with me.
Cross my heart,
No one's leaving you behind.
Just because we say goodbye.
Cross my heart,
I do believe,
In my thoughts and in my dreams,
I'll be taking you with me.
Cross my heart.

story:
So, here she was. All grown up. Well, sort of. She was the image of a
good looking nineteen year-old. Dark, almost purple hair, blue violet eyes,
and very tall.
She felt like she was a child who had lost their way home. Closing her eyes,
she tried to picture her parents, her foster parents, and....her friends?
No, she had no friends.
Her parents were dead.
Her foster parents were dead.
They were all gone.
And she was all alone.
Actually, that wasn't the complete truth.
She did have one....aquaintince. He was never one to speak his
feelings, but she considered him her closest friend. Opening her eyes, she
almost smiled at the pictures of him in the frame. But she frowned instead,
noting that not one of those pictures showed the man behind the mask.
Literally.
Zechs Merquise. Or was it Peacecraft now? She didn't know. That is,
he was Zechs, but it was as if his rebellion, his refusal to destroy unit 01
had led her to believe he was losing the alter-ego. No such luck.
The Lightening Count would live on.
It seemed, that now, as Relena Peacecraft's body guard, she too,
had turned traitor to the Federation. Strange though. She didn't feel that
way. She just felt as if she had followed her heart. And her heart was where
the wind took her.
She shook her head.
Treize Kushrenada, the chief, or knight, of Oz. He was the one
person who seemed to understand Zechs without fault. Noin never did
understand that until she herself had discovered Zechs' real name, and true
identity.
Or rather, remembered.
But that was past.
Noin stared at space through her window and felt herself glaring.
Her love for outer space was great, and she hated to see such anarchy and
meaningless fighting, and loss of lives. It just wasn't right. She fought to
bring peace. And it seemed that others would still opt for military and
violent forms of peace and rule. It sickened her.
Zechs, or rather, Milliardo's sister had told her something
interesting that Noin had believed since day one. "In a war, a frenzied death
is the most honest way to die."
Noin whispered the words.
She wondered briefly if Zechs had done just that, then pushed the thought
away.
He was alive.
She knew.
The wind was still here, there, and everywhere.
And she was too.
Though the wind had taken her to this place, she still felt lost.
And she was confused.
No matter what she did, where she turned, it always led to him. She was sure
he knew of her feelings. Noin thought about the words she'd said to Relena
that day in Antartica.....'Yes, I do love him.'
Noin soon found herself sleeping, dreams filled with the one who her
heart belonged to, without the mask.
And, so, Noin would soon save Relena's life, see the fall of the Sanc
Kingdom, Relena surrender herself to Romafeller, and finally go back home.
To Outer Space, and later still, find the one she loved, only to be on the
opposite side.
She would then do what she at that point would feel was apart of her
normal agenda, and turn coat, once agin standing at his side.
And then she would have to say good-bye again for a time.
But she would know, somehow, just like she did now, that he had not left her
behind, just said good-bye, until we meet again.
That was the way of things to be. Wherever he went, he didn't have
a choice, he would take her with him.
And in the end, cross her heart, she knew their life lines had been
intricately entwined, destined to say good-bye, and meet again, over, and
over, until.........
they both found peace.
Until peace.

Well, gotta run. I swear by the Lightening Count, Li is going to have an
epilectic seizure if I don't go with him to where ever it is he's dragging me
to.
Li may be my best friend, but if he doesn't cool it, I'm afraid I'll have
knock him out and throw him in the pool. Oh well....
Ja ne!
