Chapter 1: Year 2073
23. Today he turns 23. A man with brown hair, dark blue eyes, and quiet personality was sitting alone in a room with his eyes closed, thinking. He wanted to be alone in the quiet for a while. This was due to a major headache. He can't stand it when Xyo (pronounced Z-I-oh) started to hang on him talking a very high-pitched voice like if she were still 15. It's not that she wasn't intelligent, no, far from it. It's just that she can't help it. But he still hates it when she does it.
A cat came walking into the room where he was sitting. He hated this cat. It scared him, a lot. This cat had black paws and tail tip that slowly turned into gray, then a lighter gray, finishing in an even lighter gray on it's back. This cat didn't look like it was alive, more like a shadow. In fact that's what its name was. Shadow.
Shadow pounced up onto the table the guy was sitting upon. "What the hell do you want?" he asked annoyed.
"Now now, that's not very nice Heero." The cat said back, a trace of menace in his voice.
Heero didn't like the tone of the cat's voice. He always reserved that voice JUST for him.
And without warning, the cat pounced and attacked.
*****
Heero Yuy awoke, sweat streaking down his face. He took in the room. He recognized it as his apartment he'd had when he was 16. He looked at his watch, which also told the year and date, this said March 2, 2073, 3:26a.m. But he was sure it had been January 1, 2081. (Notice I'm not usin' A.C.*After Colony* as in Gundam Wing) The dream had seemed so real. It seemed as if it had gone on for 7, 8 years. But, as indicated by the watch, only about 4 or 5 hours.
++++++++++++++
Xyo walked down the hall to go find out where Heero had gotten to. She heard a scream from a room up ahead. HEERO'S scream! She ran up the hall to the door where the scream came from, but before she got there, a cat came out with blood on its paws.
"Shadow!" she screamed.
????????????????
Xyo Kemenho woke up. It was a couple of seconds before she realized it had been a dream. She looked at her clock. 3:27a.m.
Anime Freak(AF for short): Well, well. A joined dream. Looky here. What do these to people have in common?
Heero: OH I KNOW! I KNOW! I KNOW! PICK ME!
AF: Yessssssss, Heero?
Heero: We're in the same fic?
AF: Well duh! But that's NOT the answer I was looking for.
Heero(gloomily): oh…
Xyo: Your dim Heero.
Heero: Shut up you ditsy bitch.
Xyo: WAAAAAAAAAAA! Don't swear at me! AF, make him stop!
AF: I cant.
Xyo: Why not?
AF: I'm lazy. Anyway you'll have some clues next chapter.
