Days Go By

Notes: You know that song in the Mitsubishi commercials where the woman's dancing in the car to a really cool/funky beat? Well, I like that song. It's been released in an album by the group 'Dirty Vegas', and it has its own music video. I took liberties with the story the video's telling, and decided to write...this. My first fic in a while, 5xMei, screwing with their story a little. Enjoy!
"speech" ~thoughts~
By the way: My friend Marg and I have created a sap contest which YOU SHOULD JOIN! Cuz sap is good no da. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/va3/mapleabuse for details.

"Always this day, all day...." Sally murmured. "He's fighting. Fighting inner demons, I expect...."
"Why today? And fighting for what?" Trowa asked.
"I would tell you...." Quatre said. "I know the story too. I don't think he would want you to know, though. Or anyone else, for that matter."
"C'mon, Quatre, tell us," Duo said. "Whatever it is, it's gotta be weird." He looked through the window into the dojo. "Keep in mind who we're talkin' about here."
"I don't want to say it without him knowing I'm saying it," Quatre said. "But if you insist.... Sally, you can start."
"He was practicing this day, a few years back...just normal, y'know. He got tired easily though, and collapsed in the dojo. A woman was there and caught him, picked him up, and got him to the doctors, saved his life...."
"Her name was Meilan," Quatre said. "After a while, they fell in love, even got married.... They couldn't have been happier--they were together, that's what mattered to them."
"Then she died--when the Specials took over L5, she fought them in a mobile suit and died from fatal wounds in his arms...."
"I thought she died when they dropped the colony a little later on."
"Does it matter? She died, a tragic death.... he's never recovered. And now he fights on this day--to win her back fron Nataku."
"Nataku, the god of war.... Meilan called herself that. She thought she was just as strong as Nataku, if not more so. And now Wufei fights...to win Meilan back, anything for her."
"Let's go," Sally said. "I think he needs to be alone." The group left, leaving the troubled one to do what he had to do.

~I will have you back, my Nataku.~
Slash. Parry, parry, slash, thrust. Jump, slash, parry, slash. Duck, parry, slash, thrust, slash.
~And so you slip away...the gods once again deny someone asking for nothing but love.~
The presence was no longer there....
He looked out the window. It was sunset. His chance this time was gone. But her memory was still there... He looked in the mirror across the room from him. It was himself, his lonesome self. Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Was he going paranoid here? Or what? It wasn't him there anymore.... He ran to it, in disbelief.
An Oriental woman in pigtails smiled back at him, sadly, lovingly. He touched the 'reflection', and she disappeared...he was alone again. ~My Nataku....~
He cursed loudly as she disappeared, not wanting to be alone, not wanting this day to go by without her back--yet again. The mirror became shards flying about him, cutting him, hurting him--but nothing could be more painful than the ache in his heart.
