If Only
Part I
By: Penybright
A.C. 197
It was finally over. The fighting, anger, and senseless killing was at last over. Peace had come to grace the world once more. This time, though, it was a true peace. One that would last. The people were not going to allow their newfound peace to be taken from them, at any cost. Peace was there to stay.
Heero Yuy watched pensively from the balcony of the large auditorium, as Relena gave her speech. Eloquent words about peace and unity flowed freely from her lips. Those words wrapped around her audience, captivating them and commanding their attention. Seeing that everything was as it should be, Heero turned and left. The only trace of his presence was the slight swaying of the disturbed green curtain.
Relena glanced up at the movement of a curtain on the balcony to her left. A small smile quirked her mouth. So, Heero had come after all. She turned her attention back to her audience, her expression becoming serious once more.
'Good-bye, Heero,' she thought wistfully. 'We'll meet again someday...'

Heero went directly from the conference to his shuttle flight. He was going to hand in his final mission report personally. Dr. J had insisted on meeting. Heero knew the crafty old man was up to something, but complied nonetheless. The shuttle ride to L1 was quiet and uneventful. One could almost describe it as boring, but a trip to the heavens is never boring.
Heero stepped off the shuttle, slinging his jacket over his shoulder and casually walking towards the location chosen for the meeting. Several minutes later, he found himself standing outside an abandoned warehouse. Without the slightest hesitation, Heero wrenched the door open and stepped inside. Inside, it was dark, but not pitch-black. Dull, gray light filtered in through cracks in the boarded windows.
"So, you finally decided to show up Yuy."
"Dr. J," Heero nodded.
"Well?" Dr. J asked impatiently. Heero reached into a pocket on his jacket, slipping a small disk out. He handed it silently to Dr. J.
"About time," the Dr. harumphed. "Well Yuy, it appears your job is finished. You're free to go now."
Heero stared at him blankly.
"The wars are over. There's no longer any need for your... abilities. Here," Dr. J said, handing Heero a small object. Heero looked at the item in the palm of his hand with curiosity. It was a gold, oval shaped locket on a fine gold chain. He flipped it open, starring intently at the two people depicted within.
The man had the same messy chocolate hair as Heero, sporting the same smirk as the Perfect Soldier also. The woman had dazzling Prussian blue eyes and the same facial features as Heero. Heero looked sharply at Dr. J.
"Who are they?"
"Your parents."
"Why now?"
"I couldn't allow anything to distract you from your mission," The Dr. replied blandly. Heero clinched his jaw, biting back the insults he wished to express. He knew Dr. J would only mock him for allowing his anger to get the better of him.
"Their names are engraved on the back," Dr. J commented, before turning and walking away.
Heero turned sharply on his heel, stalking out the door and back to the airport. He quickly booked the next flight back to Earth. Once settled on the shuttle, Heero turned the locket over, reading aloud the engraving.
"Conrad & Sora Yuy."
'But, how is that possible?' Heero wondered. "Heero Yuy was only my code name... Or was it?' Heero mused. Intent on finding an answer to this rather annoying problem, Heero pulled out his laptop, clicking it on. The search had begun.
!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!^!
Several hours later, Heero exited the shuttle with his answers, and a destination. He had discovered that the real Heero Yuy had had siblings, one of which was his father. As shocking as it was, the truth was there. Who would have thought that his name really was his name.
Heero found the prospect of actually meeting his parents exciting, and yet, at the same time he was slightly anxious. All his life he had wondered about his past. Had he been taken from his family? If so, then why didn't they search for him? Maybe they had abandoned him? There were many numerous possibilities, and only two people knew the answers. Now that he knew the truth, Heero wasn't sure if he wanted to meet the people who had, essentially, abandoned him. He did, however, want the answers to his past.
Heero's questions were to be in vain though. No answers would be given to him, not on this day. The address he had found, was incorrect. The current resident of the building, had given Heero the correct address. That was how Heero Yuy found himself in a graveyard standing over a large tombstone.
~ Well? Do you like it? I know the probability of Heero's father actually being a Yuy is impossible, but I thought, hey why not? Stranger things have been know to happen. Besides, it makes for a very nice plot twist. So, tell me what you think. Should I even bother to continue?.
