Disclaimer: If I owned Gundam Wing, I wouldn't spend hours yelling at the TV screen about what should have happened in a certain episode.
A/N: This fic popped into my head one night and just wouldn't go away until I wrote it. I don't know if it's good or not, and all I've written before is humor, so please be kind in your reviews.
Hidden Truths
A squirrel watched as a young Chinese boy dropped to the ground. Driven away by the earlier roar of guns and engines, the animal now returned to witness this curious new disturbance to his woods.
The creature watched as the boy looked around. He seemed undecided about something, and unduly nervous. Finally he nodded, and ran back to the huge machine that he had arrived in originally. The squirrel watched in amazement as he rose through the air and disappeared into the giant thing's belly. He was not gone long. A few seconds later, he reappeared, cradling something in his arms. It appeared to be another human being, whom he lay gently on the ground.
The squirrel inched closer. A whiff of something caught his twitching nostrils. Blood. A smell that had become all too familiar in this woods lately. The person was hurt.
It was then that the boy noticed the squirrel. "Get out of here!" he yelled. The depth of anger, worry, and helplessness in his harsh voice frightened the animal and it fled.
Wufei moaned and rubbed his temples. The battle he had just been in had sapped much of his strength, and he needed his strength now. His attention immediately returned to the comatose figure in front of him.
Sally. Why did she have to be so stubborn? She had insisted on fighting this battle, even after his continued protests, and then…the stupid woman had let herself get surrounded. Why didn't she call for help? Stupid onna…he thought for the millionth time since he had picked Sally's crumpled Leo off the ground, conveniently forgetting that he would never call for help, considering it a weakness. He crouched besides her, trying to see how much damage had been done.
**Flashback**
Wufei swung his Gundam around and destroyed another three mobile dolls. This attack had come out of nowhere, from yet another rebel group remaining from the White Fang. The Preventers had been hard pressed for awhile, but at last the enemy's forces were waning. He flew beyond the main fury of battle for a minute to catch his breath and look around.
Good,
he thought. Nearly all of the enemy troops had been destroyed or had surrendered. There was only one main group left, and a smaller one off to the side.He frowned suddenly. The smaller group seemed to be ringing something. He looked closer and…
"Sally!"
Sally's familiar Leo was under attack from all sides. Wufei felt fury rise in his chest. With a scream of unconfined rage he shot towards the group of enemy suits, demolishing half of them with one swing. He saw the shot towards her a millisecond too late. "Nooo!" he screamed as it smashed into her. The rest of the mobile dolls were goners. Nothing could stand before Wufei's wrath.
When all the enemy suits were finished, Wufei dropped to the ground beside the fallen Sally Po. He opened her cockpit with insane haste, his heart beating unreasonably fast. In the shadow of his Gundam he couldn't see her clearly and for a moment his heart stopped. Was she…..no, he realized with an incredible sigh of relief. He could see her chest moving up and down. She was alive. He didn't stop to wonder at the strange feeling spreading through him; Sally needed medical attention. He managed to get her into his Gundam by draping her across his lap, and took off into the night.
Well, that's what I have so far. Should I continue? Please review!
