A/N: well, I'm back, with a new story! I know that I currently have Prayers Unanswered to work on, but I just had to do this story...it's been twisting and turning in my mind.
Sorry again, this has Drama, but atleast it isn't that bad, and it also is only in some parts. This story is meant to be long...but it will probably turn out shorter than expected. This also centers around one of my most fave anime bishies, Duo-chan! I like altering his past a lot! ^_^;;
Disclaimer: Idon'towngundamwingtheyneverhaveneverwillbemine, but Miyu is from my imagination! Lawyers looking angry *eeps* ok...ok...I don't own gundam wing, they never have, and never will be mine! HAPPY!!??
Oh yeah...if there's any annoying tags on this page, ya know, the ones in between the"" signs,...then ignore them, 'cuz i'm trying to do this on HTML. 'k? and i dunno which tags can be seen or not by fanfiction
Chapter 1
~*~~*~~~*~~*~
Promise to Live
~*~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~*~~~*~~*~
Duo jolted out of bed, and looks around the room. 'It was just a dream' he thinks with relief, 'but wait, it's more than a dream... It's a memory,' his mind was telling him.
Shaken, Duo went downstairs for a drink and maybe a snack. He had to go down a flight of stairs to reach it. 'Damn, this place is really huge!' Duo grinned at the thought, for he distinctly remembered Quatre pointing it out to them and saying that this was his "house", which Duo at that present moment decided to interject and call it a mansion.
When he was heading back upstairs to his room, he noticed that Quatre was still in his office. He knocked lightly on the door. Quatre looked up and beckoned him inside.
"What's the problem?" he asked, turning the force of his gaze towards Duo. Duo decided that he might as well tell him about his dream. After he finished, he added, "I've been having that same dream for the past week, but the details weren't as clear and I only noticed tonight who those children were."
"Yeah, that's pretty much it, and well..." Duo trailed off, wondering if he should tell his friend. He glanced up and decided that if he told this much, he might as tell the rest, besides, Quatre was a trustworthy guy. "...and there's something I want to tell you. You have empathy right?" Duo asked, receiving a nod from Quatre, he continued, "well, I also have what some may call a 'gift' but what I call 'the most unfortunate thing that I am cursed with'. I sometimes can see things in my dreams, but usually they are very foggy, they usually occur many nights in a row, but the event usually happens before I can interpret what the dream is trying to tell me, then after the event has happened, that's when I figure out what my dream was trying to tell me."
"Go on" Quatre urged, when he saw Duo falter, as if unsure.
Duo gave him a weak smile, "This is the first time that I dreamt something from my past...'cuz well, that boy in my dream was me, and the girl was my twin sister...Miyu." he said the last part while bowing his head, hoping that the blond boy wouldn't catch it, but he did, judging from the gasp he heard.
"Duo, why didn't you ever tell us?" Quatre asked.
"Well, mainly because I have been trying to find her without any luck. I just can't help but wonder if maybe this dream is telling me that I'll see her again...I can't help but grasp the one strand of hope that I have in ever finding my only living relative. We got separated after our parents died, but found each other near the end of my days at the Church. She looks exactly like me, heck, she even wore her hair in a braid like mine, but her face, her face was softer than mine, more feminine. Then we got separated again, and I believed that maybe she could have gotten out and stuff, that she had just got to be alive, and I searched for her, even after I became a pilot." At this point, Duo looked so crestfallen and tired, so unlike his normally happy exterior that he had been known for.
"Get some rest, Duo" Quatre advised, "tomorrow, we can talk more when you feel like it"
"Thanks" And with that, he headed upstairs, and into his bed.
As he was drifting off to sleep, Duo recalled what had happened:
'*'~'*'~'*'~'*'
Flashback
'*'~'*'~'*'~'*'
The soldiers were everywhere, he had just promised to steal the suit, and had gone back to say good bye to
Miyu before he left.
"Here, take care of this necklace, and know that I'll be back to get it again." he unclasped the gold chain and
clasped it around her neck, "promise me, please promise me that you'll live!"
Just then, soldiers' footsteps were heard. He ran off, but not before hearing her yell after him,
"I promise!, I promise to live, for you!"
'*'~'*'~'*'~'*'
End of Flashback
'*'~'*'~'*'~'*'
With that, Duo closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Yeah! I'm done the first chapter! I will be going back and forth from Prayers Unanswered to this, but that story isn't very long - four chapters hardly qualify.
I just want to tell everyone that this fic will have a different ending than Prayers Unanswered.
Oh yeah! umm...just want to thank Sailor Twilight Assasin for reviewing Prayers Unanswered!
