Prologue: A Daughter's Tears
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. Wish I owned Heero, though! *drools and fantisizes over owning Heero*
Author's Notes: This is my first Gundam Wing fan fiction. It's a little weird, but kind of cool. I have a thing against posting unfinished stories, but I figure that this will help motivate me to finish it since I rarely ever finish my stories. If I get positive feedback I definately will continue.
Clouds rumbled across the darkening sky. The dead and withering grass seemed to be praying for the rain to come. A lone figure raced along the flat ground. It was a small girl child. She should be home in bed, not out in this storm. Her hands were clenched into tiny fists. Tears flowed freely, blurring her vision. A streak of light blazed across the sky. Frightened, the child sped up. She stumbled and fell to the earth.
The clouds opened and rain pelted down, mixing with the girl's tears. Her tears were of pain, but not only physical pain. Slowly and carefully, the girl got to her feet. Her hair hung limply, dark and damp. Grey eyes flashed in the dimness; one could mistake them for silver if one did not look close enough. The girl's slight shoulders shook as she sobbed. A small fist pounded the ground.
"Shimatta!" the curse rang from the child's emotion-constricted throat.
Shifting her weight to the other leg, she rubbed the tears from her eyes with the heel of her hand. The gesture was done in the way only a child could do. Despite her attempts, the tears continued to run down her cheeks. They left streaks as they fell, since dirt had been transferred from her hands to her face.
"Why did you leave me Otousan? Why?" she asked, looking up at the rain clouds. Putting a fist to her heart, she spoke again. "I will avenge your death, Otousan." The girl stretched both arms up to the sky. "One day, they will be sorry that they dared kill Heero Yuy!" she screamed to the heavens. Lightening flashed, illuminating the landscape. The rain fell heavier as the girl fell to the ground, sobs wracking her small body.
Japanese words used:
Shimatta - a curse word. Sort of like damn as I understand
Otousan - Father
