Jake: hey Crys, feel bad?
Crys: why? Oh about that, no not really...it's cool. The limelight has ta be off me eventually.
Hotaru: *mutters* I'm sure Leo will agree.
Jake: but on the bright side you'll be with us to comment on stuff.
Crys: *sarcastically* oh yeah, that's a real bright side.
Hotaru: Crys-san? Start the story and do the disclaimer please.
Crys: okay, Disclaimer: we don't own anything, if we did then...why would we be doin a disclaimer is we owned it? Oh and Clair, DON'T HURT US! Anyway let's rock this place like a hurricane!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Aw, as it does, time has passed. Fourteen years and one month to be exact. Our favorite people have aged of course putting their minds into the official "adult" stage. Heero and Clair, out of nowhere, had become quite a couple and now had a son of around twelve. Amanda and Joel were as happy as could be, having a daughter of age thirteen. Duo and Michi had two kids, a girl and a boy, both fourteen. Nataku and Wufei...to be honest no one really talked to them much. They'd moved to the colonies and sort of faded away. Quatre and Trowa were happily single. And TJ? He spent most of his time at home, scouring the net, searching for any hints of a new war. Open hostilities were obvious but no action had been taken about it. What about Crys you ask? Well staying true to her own style she was, as it were, gone. No one heard from her, no one saw her, no one cared...except the ever loyal TJ. But now with the ever growing hostilities the old crew were meeting at Quatre's place (it IS the biggest) for what TJ, in Crys's absence, deemed a "War Council. So we can figure out whose asses we wanna kick." Amanda and Joel had just walked in when TJ started his little speech.
"Thankfully, MOST of us are considerate enough to come on time" he said with a definite snap.
"Oh stuff a sock in it TJ" Joel said. All the 'Youngers' of the crew (the kids) laughed with the exception of Heero's son. This was understandable considering the look Heero was giving him. After the laughter died down TJ decided to continue.
"Thanks Joel." He said. "Now if we can focus please, I can't lie. We have a new war on our hands. And I know you'll hate me for saying this but-"
"The children will have to fight for us" Heero muttered bluntly. Clair had a shocked look on her face.
"Their too young" her voice was panicky. Michi walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"We weren't much older, now were we?" she asked.
"Well no but-" before she could continue a butler escorted a rather strange young girl into the room.
"She says she's here to speak with master Yuy" the butler explained. Heero looked over at her then shrugged.
"Thank you that will be all" Quatre said waving his hand. The butler left and everyone looked at the girl. She was wearing somewhat dirty clothes. Her eyes were a strange blue, somewhat cobalt and somewhat sky blue. But one thing was actually clean; it was her Raven black hair. It was straight with a few curls at the bottom, but obviously well groomed. She curtsied in a respectful way then looked at everyone in the room.
"Hmm..."her eyes landed on Heero and she smiled. "Ten years and I finally catch up with you. You're a very tough person to track ya know." TJ stiffened slightly.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Oh my, excuse my poor manners. My name is Kiya Chikara, pleased to meet you" her tone was genuine and soft. At this point Josh, Michi's son, looked at her seriously, gaining a strange twinkle in his eyes.
"Trowa could you please take them to the library. I'm afraid we have some rather unsavory subjects to discuss" Quatre asked kindly pointing to the children. Trowa nodded and walked the kids out then came back.
"You're coming too" he said to Kiya. She gave a very distinct glare but left quietly.
*~*~* with the children *~*~*
Trowa sat in a chair and read to himself while the kids all found something to do. Josh found it very fun to poke fun at Kiya's state of dress.
"You live in the gutter" and stuff along those lines. Kiya stayed calm but it was all too obvious that she was gonna hurt someone soon. Did that stop Josh? Of course not.
"I bet your mother smoked pot" in a flash she had him pinned to the ground with a blade to his throat.
"I don't care if you make fun of me. But if you ever, EVER, say anything disrespectful about my mother I swear to God and all that is holy I will kill you" she hissed. "Got it?!"
"Trowa" he wailed. Trowa looked up from his book and calmly pulled him away from her. Practically breaking down the door, Michi ran in. (Maternal instincts kicked in, huh?) She was practically foaming at the mouth with anger at Kiya. But Kiya just held a strong face that said she wouldn't stand down. TJ walked in and, seeing Kiran's face, gained a pained look on his own face.
"Look, Michi-San don't get all prissy with me just because your son started something he couldn't finish" all her earlier mannerisms were dropped. This was pure attitude.
"How dare you speak to me like that" Michi snapped.
"MICHI!" TJ yelled. "Open your eyes and come here." She walked over and in hushed whispers they held a conversation.
"Why'd you stop me" she hissed.
"Can't you see, this girl...she's just like Crys" he replied.
"Are you saying she's Crys's kid" she asked loosing a lot of her anger.
"She might be, so cut her some slack will ya?" he answered. They looked over at her and saw her standing in front of the book shelves.
"Give it up! You can't read, much less understand, that book" Morgan, Amanda's daughter, said as Kiya selected a book. "It's in Japanese."
"Mochiron, Enou Kenata" she smiled at the lost look on Morgan's face. "Loosely translated I just said 'of course, I know that.' I speak Japanese. I can also read it. But I wouldn't recommend this book anyway. Pretty dry reading."
"Oh" was all Morgan said before she moved away. Josh was getting a pretty harsh scolding. Kiya walked over and looked at Michi.
"Yamero (Enough!) Hidoi (harsh)!" she snapped.
"Kiya, stay out of it" TJ muttered.
"It was my fault, he was just messing around and I took it too seriously." She said. Michi looked about ready to scream when Duo came in and walked his wife out to the hallway. TJ took Kiya to the side and looked her in the eyes.
"He owes you now" he told her.
"I know" she muttered. "Mother always said I had a bad temper."
"Kiya what was your mother's name?" he asked.
"What's yours?"
"I'm TJ" Kiya looked at him and smirked.
"I should've known. That explains a lot. Now look I'll answer your question later. Right now I need to talk to Heero, okay" she asked with a growl.
"Alright. Follow me" he led her to the room where the others had been. He motioned to Heero and then showed them to an empty parlor.
"Heero, I needed to talk to you" she said. He nodded. "You had a sister, and I hate to bring you this news but...she died ten years ago. I'm sorry I couldn't bring the news quicker but as I said, you're a tough person to track." Heero's face was blank as usual, but Kiya knew what this particular blank look meant. He was taking it in. She'd been told there would be no tears from Heero, so she expected this look.
"Arigato" he muttered. She nodded.
"Gomen Nasai" she replied.
"You speak-" she raised a hand and stopped him.
"Yes I do."
"Someone will have to tell TJ" he said.
"Don't look at me; I'm just a messenger of death to certain people. He's bound ta get all weepy on me, I hate that" she replied. Heero fixed his laser-like eyes on hers and they started their stand off. Minutes went by but it was obvious that Kiya would loose. Except she had very...interesting tactics. She used his focus on her eyes against him by nudging her foot behind his leg and jerking it back. He fell back but caught himself. Unfortunately for him, he blinked while doing it. "I win" she smiled widely as if she didn't know she'd cheated.
"Cheater" he muttered.
"No, when did we ever discuss rules? So anything goes." She replied.
"You've done this before."
"Once or twice."
