A.N. I will be doing some changes to this fic but I will make sure it will still be a Hitomi/Heero story.
~The Earth~
Hitomi was running once again on the track. It has been 2 years since she returned from Gaea and she was on her last year in highschool. She became better and faster at running and was now one of the best short distance runners in Japan. She rarely received injuries which made her a rare runner. As she neared the finish line, she had a vision coming to her.
"Oh no..." She whispered to herself with a little surprise and sadness.
"Not again. I don't was to "see" anymore."
But, she couldn't stop it. She saw a young man with wild, mossy brown hair with a firm mouth and icy blue eyes which sent shivers through her body burning her. He was wearing a plain white shirt with blue denim pants. The strange thing to Hitomi was that he was just standing and looking in one direction. Well, his eyes were moving crazily but he was really scanning what may be out of the ordinary in front of him. The rest of him was so still she couldn't believe that someone could be so still and calm like a rock!
Then suddenly, he looked at her. Just as her very first vision before he met Van. But the difference was that it seemed this guy was looking directly at HER. The vision faded and she passed the finish line winning first place once again. Hitomi staggered a little and before she fell down Yukari caught her.
"Whoa Hitomi! Is there something wrong with you?" She asked clearly worried about her best friend.
Once Hitomi's eyes focused she felt better and calmer.
"I'm alright now. I guess I've been running a bit too much!" She tried to joke.
"Let's go sit down for awhile to make sure you are better. Don't quit the team on me now!" Feeling relieved.
They walked towards the bleachers while Hitomi thought about the past. When Hitomi came back from Gaea, she lost all connection with Van. She was left with nothing and had to start all over again. Yukari noticed this from Hitomi and knew about Hitomi's disappearance and tried to make her tell her what happened to try and help her "live" again. After a few weeks Hitomi ran to Yukari's house and spilled everything. Yukari, very surprised about her story but believed her truly and told her that it would be all right and she would be there for her no matter what. This, made their friendship even stronger and they were more than sisters to each other. When Hitomi came back, she also found out that Yukari and Amano were going out which was alright with her.
Yukari stood up for she had to watch the other runners and left Hitomi with her thoughts.
'I wonder who that guy was... He didn't really scare me... There was an empty look in his eyes... Like Van...'

Trowa and Heero was in the computer room working. They kept up to date with news around the world and searched for anything that may start up a fire.
"Heero, you should go." Trowa stated, breaking the silence. He kept typing as if nothing he did not say anything.
"What are you talking about." Heero replied, his voice dull.
"You should go." Trowa repeated. "Don't worry about anything here. I'm sure me and the others will be able to handle it if anything happens."
Heero, understanding Trowa stood up and walked towards the door.
"Thanks." With a slight hesitation he added, "Be careful."
The door closing, Trowa was still working, but this time a small smile reached his eyes.
'I'm sure that this is a good thing for him. He deserves to live the rest of his life the way he wants to.'
* * * * * *
Heero went into his apartment and thought about what he was going to do with this new kind of freedom.
'I should go to a school. I'll be able to see how normal teenagers act. Join the track team to keep in shape...'
After a few more thinking, he stood up and went to the nearest private school he knew of in Japan and signed up.
He was just in time since school started tomorrow. He received his schedule and went shopping for some school supplies. When he got home it was around 11pm.
'Man, people just wait way to long to buy their school supplies. I had actually had to work to look for my things and make sure nobody stole them from me. To add to that, I had to wait in line for almost two hours! I should go shopping somewhere else next time. Someplace that's not well known.'
After a sort of busy day, he fell on his bed and went to sleep.

* The next day, he got dressed in maroon pants, white collared long-sleeved shirt and a maroon suit jacket. When he got to school, he walked in the school and found the office.
"Yes what it is?" Asked the secretly.
"I'm new to the school and I read in the notice that someone will be here to take me to my classes?"
"Oh yes. She will be here shortly. She will be in all of your classes. I hope you won't mind that."
"No, it's alright. If you don't mind my asking, what is her name?"
"Hitomi Kanzaki. She's very kind and intelligent which is why she was able to miss her first block to help you."
"I see."
"Oh here she is now!"
Hitomi was walking in her uniform her hands calmly at her side. She grew her hair over the summer and had lost her boyish looks which made her suddenly popular all over the school for her athletic ability, academics, and of course looks. Even though she was fairly tall for an average teenager, Heero overtook her by a few inches.
When she was a few feet away she looked up and saw the new student. She stopped in her tracks.
'What, is he, no it can't be. He can't be the guy from my vision during practice. No, it's not him, he doesn't even look like him, only his hair.'
When she looked a few cm down she saw her eyes and knew she couldn't fake it. It was the guy from her vision and there was no doubt about it. She felt hot and cold at the same time in her skin.
'Okay Hitomi, just relax, you don't even know what the vision was about. He could have been there ate the race and was watching you.'
She kept walking and tried to deny that she had a vision altogether. When she reached him, she drew up a conclusion that she was worrying about nothing and that this was a regular guy going into her school.
"Hello, my name is Hitomi Kanzaki. Nice to meet you." She offered her hand.
Heero took it and for that moment both of them felt a shock go up their arms to their shoulder. Hitomi flinched and drew her hand away.
'Okay... All these reactions point to something that means more than that he's just a guy to me.'
She shook her head.
'Just focus on what you have to do and get over it! Keep your distance.'
While Hitomi was talking to herself, Heero was watching her. He, for all his training did not flinch but he did feel a strange shock that went up his arm. He, didn't know these were signs and took it for that this girl was just so cold it sent the chill to him which felt like she was drowning in ice water heated up.
"What's your name?" Hitomi asked, waking Heero from his thoughts which did not show on his face.
"Heero Yuy, it's a pleasure" He answered.
"Welcome to the school." She said as they started walking in the building. Hitomi showed him everything and when they were outside she asked him about her favourite sport: track.
"Are you interested in running? We have a track team and it's not that bad."
"I know, I've heard about how fast you were."
At this, Hitomi blushed and said,
"It just takes lots of training, hard work, focus, and people around cheering you on all the way."
Heero understood all of it except the last part.
'People around you? Helping you? Trowa and them were there with me to fight. Is that the same? Or does that mean family? I don't have any. So who do I count on?'
Hitomi saw his look of confusion which confused her. She shook her head for her stupidity.
'Maybe he wants to know more.'
"There's a tryout today after school for new members. I can take you there since we have the same class last block."
Heero heard her and replied, "Sounds good."
They walked back to school in silence to their second block.
