Warning: Okay, for those who don't really like OC please do not read. I have two OC and it's focuses quite a bit on one a lot in the beginning… I'm tired of people complaining about OC so yeah… please just don't read it if you're going to complain.
Disclaimer: I don't own and GW characters. I don't own Sakura… She belongs to a friend. I do however own Lily.
Chapter 1
She was used to being alone. She had never known her parents. The only family she had was her twin brother, Heero. They were both in an orphanage on Colony L1 for some time till her brother just left one day. When he'd returned he'd dragged her to Earth and provided her with a home there. Afterwards, he just left again. He appeared every now and then, but he never stayed long.
This morning Lily went through her normal routine. She got up and got ready for school, slipping on her school uniform. Staring into the mirror she rolled her skirt up a little more till it was just above her knees. She then ran a brush through her long silky black hair with it red tips and pulled it back into a ponytail. As she checked herself in the mirror one last time, her violet eyes stared back at her. Shrugging, she threw her bag onto her shoulder and ran out her door and to school.
"Lily!" There was a girl standing at the school's front gate waiting for her. She had long black hair with silver highlights. Her eyes were an ice blue that usually shined so brightly. That was Lily's best friend, Sakura. Together they made quite a pair. One usually couldn't be found without the other.
"So did you do the assignment?" Sakura asked her friend as the two walked through the gate and into school.
"Well duh," Lily answered. "I am a straight A student after all." She stopped at her locker and switched her shoes. Sakura did the same as well.
"Yeah yeah. Ms. Straight A student."
Lily glared at the other girl and sighed. "Well, did you?"
Sakura only smiled. "Yup… First thing this morning." She heard her friend groan and just laughed. "I don't see what's so wrong about that. At least I got it done."
Lily nodded. "Hai." She started walking to class. "Well, are you at least prepared for today's test?"
Sakura's eyes widened. "There's a test? Why wasn't I informed of this?"
Lily blinked at her friend and sighed. "The teacher announced it at the beginning of the week and I reminded you yesterday before we both split." Lily only smiled. This was normal of Sakura. She shook her head, her long ponytail swishing back and forth behind her. She wasn't worried about Sakura. Whether she studied or not she knew the girl would still pass. Maybe not with an A, but she didn't think Sakura really cared about that.
The two girls entered the classroom and took their seats. They watched as the teacher walked in and set her books on the desk. The teacher seemed to look around the room before her eyes landed on Lily, a little confused.
"Hino-san, what are you doing here?"
Lily blinked. "Sensei, what do you mean?" Lily turned to Sakura who only shrugged.
"Well…" The teacher started flipping through some papers. "According to this letter your brother stopped by and said that you would be transferring… and that you wouldn't be here today."
"Say what? My brother stopped by?"
The teacher nodded. "Hai… Didn't he tell you?"
"Iye… Where am I transferring to?"
"Um… according to this… Hong Kong."
"Hong Kong? I'm moving to Hong Kong? Why wasn't I informed of this?" Angry now, Lily quickly packed up her books. "Hey Sakura, stop by after school, okay?"
Sakura nodded and watched as her friend quickly left the room. Suddenly she felt a great wave of loneliness wash over her as she realized her one and only true friend was leaving her. "Great," she muttered to herself. "First my brother and now my best friend. What next?" She sighed. "What's left?"
Lily rushed into her apartment, throwing her bag onto the floor. She turned to the couch where she found her brother sitting, TV on. She glared at the boy, this being possibly the only time she wasn't happy to see him. She made her way over to the boy and stood right in front of the TV.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Is that any way to greet your brother?"
"It is when that brother doesn't tell you that you're moving and why." Lily sighed. "Why Hee-chan? I'm happy here. My best friend lives here."
"Lily, I want you where I can keep an eye on you. You always complain you never get to see me. What's so wrong with moving to Hong Kong."
"Of course I never get to see you," Lily practically shouted. "You're always on some stupid mission or something. But… Hee-chan… Hong Kong? I mean…"
"You're moving, whether you want to or not."
Lily sighed and nodded her head. "Hai oniisan." She made her way back into her room and pulled out some boxes of which she started filling with books. She didn't want to argue with her brother anymore. She knew it was pointless anyway. She bit her bottom lip as she fought back some tears, thoughts of Sakura filling her mind. The girl was her best friend and Lily loved it here. She'd pretty much grown up here.
"Lily…"
"Hai Hee-chan?" She never faced her brother. She just focused on packing her stuff.
"I'm sorry."
Lily sighed and finally faced her brother, a small smile appearing on her lips. "It's okay. At least I'll be able to see you more often." She watched as her brother nodded and she returned to packing.
Heero started to wonder if maybe this was a good idea. He hadn't asked his sister what she'd wanted, but all he could ever think about was how she would complain that she never got to see him. She always seemed so happy when he'd show up. He thought she'd be happy to move.
"Lily, do you want to stay?"
Lily blinked and smiled at her brother. "As much as I'd love to stay, the thought of finally being with you is just screaming at me." Lily walked over and hugged the boy. "You're my family. I don't get to see you anymore."
The two looked up when they heard a knock on the door. Lily smiled as she rushed to answer the door for her best friend. Sakura strolled in and fell back onto the couch. Lily shut the door and made her way over to her friend, taking a seat next to her.
"So, what's going on? Are you moving?"
Lily nodded. "Hai. I'm moving to Hong Kong with my brother."
"So you're finally going to live with your brother?"
"Hai. Speaking of… would you like to meet him?" Lily stood and grabbed Sakura's hand, dragging her into her room. "Hee-chan!!!"
"Hn?" Heero looked up while putting some stuff into Lily's box.
"Hee-chan! I want you to meet my best friend. This is Sakura."
Sakura blinked at the boy in front of her. He had Prussian blue eyes that looked so cold, and a mess of brown hair on his head. She watched as he put his hand out and she accepted it. "Um… Nice to meet you Heero."
"Hn…"
Lily giggled. "He's not very talkative. Anyway…"
"So are you leaving tonight?" Sakura asked.
Lily nodded. "Hai."
"Go hang out with your friend," Heero told his sister. "I'll finish up here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Go. There's not much stuff anyway."
"Thank you Hee-chan!!" Lily glomped her brother and quickly rushed out of the apartment with her friend.
Since it was their last day together, the two girls had finally gone to that expensive restaurant they'd been wanting to try for a few years now. They caught many stares from people but just ignored them and enjoyed themselves the best they could. Afterwards they'd made their way to the movies, throwing popcorn at the screen every time they didn't agree with something.
They walked out of the movies together and both girls sighed as they realized that their last day together had finally come to an end. Lily stared up at the sky and forced a smile on her face. She had to think better of this. It's not like it was the end of the world or anything.
"Ne…" Lily started, and Sakura stared at the girl. "We'll write each other, okay?"
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Hai."
Both girls hugged each other and split, each heading in different directions. Lily made her way into the apartment and stared at her brother who was asleep on the couch. She stared back into her room and noticed that everything was already packed. Making her way into her room, she stared out the window. She was going to miss this place.
AN: Well? What you think? Review please!!!
