A.C. 200
Peace. True peace. Trowa and Kana are living out their lives in total happiness. They have been together since the incident three years ago and have never once left each other's side for anything. That's what I call devotion. But something's going to happen soon.
~*~*~*~
Trowa stared at a little ring he pulled out of his pocket. Its gold color glistened in the afternoon sun peeking through the canvas door, the diamonds on top sparkling, reflecting the light. Was he going to ask her? Would she say yes? Trowa stomach churned as he though about it. He and Kana had been together for the longest time, and now he was ready to take the next step. But, was she?
He got up and walked outside, stuffing the ring back into his pocket. Kana was petting the lions, with a soft smile on her face. There was still a scar on her left shoulder where the bullet hit her, the day she confessed her love for Trowa.
Before he could say anything, he noticed a limousine pulling up to the front of the tent. He stared at its glossy black frame. Kana stood up and gasped. Trowa looked at her with surprise. What was she gasping about?
The limo stopped in front of them. The driver in a tuxedo walked out of the car, went to the other side, and opened the door. A young woman stepped out of the car, wearing a very expensive looking blue dress. She walked towards the tent and stopped in front of Kana. Kana's eyes were wide.
"Mom?"
Trowa looked on at this. Was this young lady really her mother? Now that he saw, they both had the same exact black hair and blue eyes, but her mother's were sharper, while hers were soft.
"Kana, I have missed you. We all have missed you."
She looked around towards the tent, then to the woods behind her.
"It took us forever to find this place. How can you live here?"
"This is my home, mom. I have a job here."
"You never needed a job in the first place. Now come home with us. We're all waiting for you."
"I'm not going. I want to stay here. I want to live on my own."
She grabbed Kana's hand and led her to the limo.
"You're coming home with us right now."
"Wait!" Trowa cried out.
They both stopped and turned to him.
"I know that you're her mom and all, but can't you just let her stay here? She can take care of herself."
"And who are you?"
"My name is Trowa Barton."
"He's my boyfriend, mom."
"Boyfriend?"
She examined Trowa. His appearance, and his face.
"My daughter deserves a boy much better than you. And much more of a gentleman too."
He gasped.
"Mom!"
She pushed Kana into the limo and said, "Stay away from my daughter. She has many suitors waiting on her already without another boy who doesn't know the first thing about fine living offering his hand at her."
His eyes widened as they drove away, leaving him in the dust.
Catherine came out of the tent.
"Trowa! What happened? Where's Kana?"
"I don't know. Her mom just took her home."
"Her.mom?"
Trowa took out the ring again, staring at its beauty. Catherine saw the ring.
"Trowa! Where'd you get that? Were you going to-"
"Yeah, I was, until she took Kana away." He gripped the ring in his hand. "Now I can't ask her."
Catherine looked at him with concern.
His face was sad. He looked towards the forest where they had driven off.
"But why would she marry me when she can have her pick of any of those guys waiting for her when she gets home?"
Catherine turned him towards her and slapped him in the face. He fell back a bit and griped his cheek. He remembered the first time she did this.
"You idiot! Don't give up on her that easily!" She sighed heavily. "Why do you think she chose to stay here after all these years instead of going back home? It's because."
Trowa looked at his sister, trying to help him.
"It's because.she was happy to be with you, Trowa. That's why she stayed here, to be close to you. She loves you, Trowa. You, more than anyone, should know that."
She started to walk away.
"And if you can give up on her that easily, then I guess you don't love her as much as she thought you did."
She stepped into the tent, Trowa standing there, speechless. He knew that he loved her, and that he would do anything for her. "That's why."
He looked at the ring again.
".that's why I wanted her to marry me."
"Hey Trowa!"
He looked up and saw the cheery face of Duo standing in front of him.
"Good to see ya! Say, where's Kana? I wanted to say hi to her too, but I can't seem to find her."
"She's not here, Duo."
"What do you mean, she's not here?"
He turned and started walking back to the tent. "Duo, I need your help."
~*~*~*~
"I can't believe I'm helping you with this," Duo said as they snuck around in the bushes of Kana's mansion. "Who knows what will happen to us if those guards find us."
They both looked at the guards surrounding the front of the house.
"The only reason they're there is because Kana's dad is one of the chief advisors to the ESUN president. And because they're having a masquerade tonight."
Trowa looked up, seeing if the coast was clear. "All we need to do is get around to the back sneak inside."
"No. You're sneaking in. I'm staying out here until you come back."
Trowa put on his mask and tuxedo. "You're not coming?"
"Nah, I'd rather let you have the fun."
Duo sat down next to a tree and put his arms behind his head.
"Well, all right."
Trowa walked out of the bushes and slipped past the guards. They thought he was just another guest.
We walked inside, hearing the music echoing through the gleaming white walls of her house. He walked through the long corridors, following the music. He then came to a pair of large wooden doors, where it seemed to be the source of the music. He opened the doors to find many couples dancing, all wearing different masks of their own.
He made his way past them, and found a few people standing to the side, not dancing at all. There was one person in particular, who caught his eye.
"Who is that?"
A young girl stood there, looking down, in a beautiful light blue gown with blue diamonds embroidered in it. Her mask matched her gown, in the shape of a butterfly. But then, he noticed her eyes, which were a soft shade of blue. And her black hair, tied up into a bun with strands of hair delicately hanging down, sparkling with glitter in the light of the chandelier hanging above them.
"Is that Kana?"
She looked up, towards the dancers and sighed. The same sad expression that Kana had made before painted her face.
"That is her!" He walked over to her and politely bowed. She looked at him in surprise.
"May I have this dance?" he asked as he held out his hand to her.
She stared at him, wondering who this guy could be. "His voice sounds so soft, and warm. I should just dance with him. I'm sure Trowa wouldn't mind."
"Sure," she answered.
What she didn't know, was that she was really dancing with Trowa himself.
Her mother watched in the opposite side of the room, as her daughter and the mysterious young man stepped onto the ballroom floor.
He took her hand in his and put his other one on her hip, gently. They started dancing to the music slowly, but elegantly. It seemed like minutes passed like hours, as they were lost in each other's company.
"This has to be her," he thought as he looked at this girl. "Everything about her is the same. Her hair, her eyes, her face, her smile."
She was indeed, smiling. She hadn't been this happy in a while, not since the last time she spent time alone with Trowa.
"Who is this man?"
As the music came to a close, the couples slowly stopped and clapped. Trowa led her outside to the balcony.
"Who was that boy dancing with my daughter?" thought her mom. "I think I'd better find out."
"Wow, the stars are beautiful tonight." Kana said as she looked up.
Trowa's heart pounded in his chest. It felt as though he was falling in love with her again.
"Excuse me."
She looked towards him, seeing the slight blush on his face.
"Yes? What is it?"
He gently placed his hands back on her hips. She blushed at the sudden action. He drew her closer to him, and he leaned forward. But she placed her hands on his chest, pushing him back.
"Wait, I'm sorry. I.I just can't. I.have a boyfriend."
"Kana, it's me."
She looked at him. He took his mask off, revealing his face.
"Trowa!" she said happily. She hugged his neck and kissed him. He kissed her back. "I missed you so much."
"Me too."
"Excuse me." A voice came from behind them.
Trowa quickly put his mask back on and turned around.
"Who are you, if you don't mind my asking, young man?"
He turned to Kana in desperation. She shrugged. So, he took his mask off and said, "Trowa Barton, ma'am."
"I knew it," she said angrily. "Don't you dare touch my daughter again, you- "
"Wait, Marienne."
She turned around to see her husband, whose hair and eyes were the same color as Kana's.
He walked up to Trowa and looked at him.
"So you say your name is Trowa Barton?"
"Yes sir."
"Well, I want to welcome you, Trowa. You, indeed, have earned a place to stay here."
His wife looked on in astonishment.
"Surely you don't mean that dear!"
"Of course I do. He's the one who saved our dear Kana when she was kidnapped. And."
He turned to Trowa again.
".helped save the Earth Sphere Unified Nation from Mariemaia with your Gundam, am I right?"
Kana looked at Trowa, who stood firm in the face of her father.
"Yes, along with my friends."
"Well then, that settles it. You have my thanks."
He turned and started to walk away.
".and my blessing."
His wife followed him, but as she approached the door, she said, "If you are indeed one of the five gundam pilots, then you are welcome to stay here." She then walked away.
Kana smiled and hugged Trowa. "That means my parents accept you, Trowa."
He hugged her arms. "I'm glad they do, Kana."
They both looked out into the starry night, still together.
