Lost Souls

Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Wing.

AN- Ok, this is revised because I've gotten some reviews saying my information was in correct. I did read Duo's episode zero. I'm sorry for not mentioning that this is slightly AU. The origin of Renee is also a little hazy. Later I'll have a chapter dedicated to her past. Thanks for all the reviews. ^_^

Prologue

( AC 187):

Renee wandered the streets of a colony in L2 alone. Not that she minded. She learned long ago not to care about meaningless things in life, such as being alone. She's just a hopeless soul moving around, her life one big blur.

I should go home soon, she thought as she looked at her watch.

She decided to rest on the side of an old building before heading back. Looking around at the broken-down area of this colony, tears started to fall down her cheeks.

She didn't notice.

A young boy around the age of seven, walking along the street, his long chestnut hair trailing behind, stopped dead in his tracks as he spied the most beautiful creature he has ever seen.

She looks like an angel, he thought to himself as he carefully approached the sitting figure, as if a sudden movement would frighten her away.

She lifted her head up and looked at him, and he felt his heart start to jump.

"Uh, excuse me, but, why are you crying?", he asked.

She looked at him, confused for a moment, touched her cheek lightly, then smiled a soft, sad smile. "Oh. I don't really know."

"Are you sad?"

"I'm always sad. I guess...well, I guess the strain in my life and the effects of the war are taking their toll on me. That's all."

"I try not to let that stuff get me down. Try having more fun, like me."

She laughed slightely, then replied, "Ok. I'll try. By the way, my name's Renee."

"I'm Duo."

"It's nice to meet you Duo. Well, I must be going. " She then got up to leave, but turned around when she heard the boy yell "Wait!"

"What?"

"Will I ever see you again?"

"Most certainly. And as a promise, I'll give you this." She took off a cross necklace she had around her neck and handed it to him. "I have another one just like it around my neck. It's two of a kind."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Well, I must really go now. Goodbye." He smiled as he watched her figure disappear, continuing on her endless journey, searching for something unknown, even to her.
