A.C. 188
Prologue
It all started when I was 8. I knew this boy named Milliardo Peacecraft.
He was a 13 year-old prince. and my best friend. He said that I was a princess at heart, that I didn't need royal blood coursing through my veins. But I had something else in my blood. I could see the future and heal things, but he didn't know. I was glad.
He was my best friend until I got sick.
I remember it well. It was sunny, warm, and we were playing hide n' go seek at the palace. He was hiding and I was seeking.
When I got close to where he was he popped out and yelled, "BOOOO!!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" I screamed. "Geez Milly, you scared me"
"Sorry Rei." He replied voice dripping with remorse.
"It's alright," I said tagging him "but your it!"
"But." His words were cut off by my giggling. Suddenly he bursts into laughter. So do I.
After a few minutes laughing, we both walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. After we got there Pegan walked in and then he said "Prince Milliardo you know you are not allowed in the kitchens"
"But we were hungry." Milliardo replied angrily. "Right, Rei?"
I couldn't answer because I couldn't breath for some reason. "I. can't. breath. Milly."
"Rei!?" Millardo asked desperately "What's wrong?! Pegan call 911!"
When I passed out I had this weird dream. I was fighting with Milliardo in a mobile suit. I didn't understand this dream. I know that Milliardo would never fight in a machine. He was a pacifist, just like his father, but there was something about him. He also liked to sword fight. With me. It was fun. until he beat me.
When I woke up I saw Milliardo sleeping quietly.
"Milly?" I said quietly.
He looked up. "You're awake?" Then he smiled.
"Of course silly Milly" I giggled.
Milliardo smiled.
"Milly?"
"Yes?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Well you. um. have a. um. rare disease that can only be cured in space, on a space colony."
"Let me guess you can't come"
"Yes." He stated plainly, tears welling up in his beautiful blue eyes, "they won't let me escort you either"
"Don't cry," I whispered "You'll see me again soon."
"Your right," he replied "um. Rei?"
"Yes?" I said weakening.
"Rei, I think. I .er. know that. I lo-" His were cut off when I passed out.
I awoke when I heard a small crash. My eyes shot open. When I looked over there was a small boy, about my age, sprawled across the floor. He got up slowly. He had a dark/medium brown hair, and it was in a braid reaching his lower back. I was not sure what his eye color was.
"Hello." I said.
He jumped. I guess I startled him.
"I am sorry I startled you," I said nicely "but where am I?"
"You're in a space colony in the L2 region." He replied.
"What?!" I practically screamed out of anger. I looked into his startled dark blue eyes and they calmed me a bit. I quickly apologized. "Gomen nasai. I didn't mean to startle you." I sighed. "I'm just a little mad that I didn't get to say bye to Milliardo." I looked at him and he had a look of curiosity on his face now. "My name is Rei Hino." I stuck out my hand and he shook it.
"My name is Duo," He said almost enthusiastically. "Who's Milliardo?" He asked quickly.
"Milliardo is one of my only friends. of coarse there's Treize Cushrenada but I don't trust him that much." I sigh. "Why are you here?" I asked.
He shows me his left hand. It had a bad cut on it. The cut was from his pinky to his thumb. "That's pretty bad." I said slowly. "How'd you get it?"
He looked down quickly, but I saw his eyes cloud over with anger. "I tripped and fell on a rock." He lied. It was so obvious, but I knew he didn't want me to know, so I said nothing.
"How'd you get here?" I asked, questions bubbling over before I could stop myself.
"I was a thief until the Maxwell church took me in. They cleaned me up and let me have my hair. I refused to let them cut it even though it was knotted and dirty. Father Maxwell sent me to foster homes but everyone of them sent me back because I was a brat." He sighed softly. He glanced up to see if I was listening and then quickly back down. I saw pain and anger in his eyes, clouding them over to a darker shade of blue. "Then OZ came." His voice cracked as if he was about to cry. "They needed a mobile suit, and I told them I'd get it for them if they would just leave. They agreed." I saw a tear fall to the ground. I slipped out of my bed, and walked over to him. His shoulders were shaking in silent tears. I hugged him and he cried into my shoulder. I felt the tears soak through my gown. "When I returned to the church it was destroyed. Everyone in there was either dead or dying." His voice cracked, full of tears. "Father Maxwell was still alive but barely. I went over to him and we talked till he died." His shoulders shook harder, his tears becoming more violent. "I went over to the people and said, 'I gave you your mobile suit now leave.' My voice was so calm too. Only my face betrayed what I was feeling." I patted his head softly.
I felt the burning feeling of tears in my eyes. I kept thinking, I will not cry, I don't cry, I'm stronger then that. "It's okay Duo. It's over now." My voice sounded soft and caring. Not as if I was going to cry. Yay for me.
"But it's all my fault." His tears grew more violent. He suddenly leaned all his weight onto me. I wasn't expecting it, and we both fell to the floor with him on top. I landed on my butt and took all the shock there. I bit my lip to keep from crying out. I tasted the metallic taste of blood. I sat there cradling Duo in my arms while he cried.
After a half an hour the crying ceased, and he lay there in my arms, every now and then his body shook with a silent sob. He looked up at me his eyes red and puffy from crying. "Gomen nasai." He said softly. He touched my lip his hand coming away with the red tinge of blood. "I hurt you."
"It's alright." I smiled and kissed his forehead softly leaving a red mark from my lips. I giggled softly. "It's not your fault Duo." I wiped away the blood from my lip and the bloody mark on his forehead. Before I wiped the mark away I felt a little bit of power jump from me to him. He must have felt it too, because he twitched. He looked up at me again, his eyes shining. He touched my face and again I felt that twinge of power.
I felt my eyes narrow, wondering what it was. I shrugged it off and noticed his hand bleeding. "Your hand." I said grabbing it. It dripped down onto my gown. "Do you have a knife or something sharp I can use?" He nodded slowly. "Can I use it?" He just looked at me. "I'm not going to hurt you. I need it." He still just looked at me. "Just hand it over and I promise I won't hurt you." He lifted his shirt slightly and took the pocketknife from its holster. He handed it to me and I opened it. I looked at his left and duplicated the cut on my right.
I sliced quickly and felt the sharp pain. The blood welled up in my palm. I quickly closed the knife and dabbed my finger in the blood. I touched his forehead then his lips. I moved towards his heart. He backed away from me. "Trust me." I whispered. I felt the power build up slowly. He stopped moving and I reached into his shirt and touched the area over heart. The power rose. I took his right hand and dabbed one of his fingers in the blood. He watched me do this, with the feeling of power pulsing against our skin. I took his finger and touched my forehead, my lips, and the area over my heart. Duo's face turned a shade of pink. Before he realized what I was going to do next I grabbed his left hand and pressed it against my right. "Wound to wound." I said as I pressed them together. "Soul to soul." I said as Duo tried to pull away, I held his hand there with our blood mingling and dripping down our forearms. I shook my head and he stopped moving the spell holding him immobile. "Heal the wounds of body and soul." I whispered the power building. "With these words I seal this spell." I spoke my words coming out strangled, barely being able to speak through the magic. "Mars crystal power." The skin knitted together over the wounds. The power released, being absorbed into my body and his.
I felt light headed and tired. I fell towards Duo and was out before his hands touched me. I vaguely remember hands picking me up and putting me in the bed. When I awoke a doctor was cleaning my forehead off. I tasted blood on my lips and thought nothing of it. "Where's Duo?" I asked.
"Oh the young man that was with you?" He asked.
"Yeah him."
"He went home after we told him that you were going to be alright." The doctor said. "He seamed to regret leaving before you woke up."
My heart felt a sharp pain of loss, as if I wasn't ever going to see him again. But in my soul I knew I was going to see him again.
The doctors told me they were going to keep me on the colony just in case I got sick again. I looked for Duo but I couldn't find him.
After that a martial arts master took me in to train me. His name was Dr. Shinigami. He told me I was training to be a gundam pilot, and that he was building it, and after it was done and after my training was done I would be sent to Earth.
