How desperately I hold the blade.Hold it firmly in one hand. my pale reflection gleaming at me as I twist the blade. My luminous brown eyes fixed upon the sharp point,pink lips drawn into a line....I know my mission. I know the objective. But can I really do this? my eyes drift over to the bed, the sleeping figure snores softly and I make no sound. My steps are slow and carefully placed. The guards outside the bedroom door are chatting in soft whispers. I cannot make out what they say nor do I care to. Instead I focus on the mission, my mind must be set on the objective. I lean over the sleeping man, He looks gentle in his sleep. No one would guess that he had ordered the slaying of so many innocent people. I raise the blade, in a instant I glimpse my own eyes in the reflection, they are cold....then I strike with one silent motion. I set the blade down next to the man. He is sleeping still, but he will not wake from this sleep. I Slip back out into the night.
In my home, I wash the blood from my fingertips. I showered twice already but still the red lingers upon my flesh. looking up I gaze into the mirror. My cold brown eyes staring back at me. But strangely...there are tears running from them,I reach up,touching the warm liquid....in wonder...I whisper outloud "It was only a mission...another " but it's a lie. its not just another mission.
Laying on my bed, naked, the cool wind caressing me...I am a gundam pilot. I have killed countless men and women in war. But to destroy someone from the saftey of HeavensWrath is one thing, to sneak into their room while they sleep and slit their throat is another. I am Sakura Kumiko. I am 17 years old, and I am a woman.
Since my space colony was attacked, I choose to offer myself to the training of Doctor Tekamushi. He built the HeavensWrath. He trained me to pilot her. To kill when ordered without hesitation. It is suppose to be a time of peace now. I suppose it is...at least more peaceful then it once was. I go to Maki-shii High school. I live in a house with 5 others. They too are gundam pilots. But they fought before me. and Together while I fought my own battles alone. We do not get along so well but that is fine. I need no friends and I prefer to be alone. Heero is most like me. We both enjoy solitude. And He and I have been partnered up. The ones who command us, they seem to think Heero and I make a good team. perhaps it is because we both will do whatever is necessary to complete a mission. As for the others, they are realtively nice I suppose. I do not pay much attention them most times. Only when necessary.
I can hear the insescent rambling of Duo. His loud cheery voice is easily recognized. and the soft tone of Quarte's voice lingers long after he has spoken. Heero is silent, but I know he too is outside my bedroom door. Oddly enough I have found a friend in the serious Trowa. He and I have a quiet understand. We seek nothing from one another other than companionship. Do not misunderstand. I see him as a friend,nothing more. As for Wu,as I've come to call him,since it seems to irrate him so. I must admit,I do not normally take to teasing, but for some reason,when it comes to Wu,I cannot resist. With a sigh I roll over and drift into slumber...my last thought is...will I wake up in the morning,or will my throat be slit before mornings light?
She sipped her herbal tea. Her eyes fixed upon the dark liquid. It was a normal day, very ordinary, one could even say boring. She glanced up, Heero was gazing at her. He often did. She lowered her eyes and setting down the cup carefully she stood. She was a pretty girl, not beautiful, but pretty. Standing five feet-3 inches tall,Her long dark-brown hair swayed softly in the wind.Her long lashes were downcast,hiding the brown eyes beneath them. She was a slender girl, her chest was full, but not large. Her waist looked smaller when compared to the round curve of her hips. She stuffed her book into her knapsack,slinging it carelessly over one shoulder. She could feel his cold blue eyes burning into her back as she walked away.
Heero sat beneath the tree, his book opened but his eyes were upon her. He wasnt sure what it was about her that made him feel uneasy. She was quiet, and he could understand that. He wondered why the night before she had crept into the house,pushing past him so hastily to get to her room. Upon later inspection he'd found the crimsion trace on his shirt where she had touched him. Blood. He didnt really care what she did. He had stood outside her bedroom door listening because it seemed logical, not because he cared. His eyes drifted to the sway of her hips before he frowned. Why was he looking there? Women held no interest to him....She is my partner...He thought. And with that as a semi-logical excuse for his wandering eyes he went back to his reading...Or tried...
Sakura was seated,several minutes before the bell was to ring for class.As the loud annoying bell sounded, a long braided goofy grinned Duo scrambled into his seat beside her. The teacher with her back to the class seemed not to notice the late entry. and Duo nudged Sakura still wearing his goofy grin. He whispered happily " I always race the bell...and win..." sakura glared at him, but the corners of her mouth were tugging upward. " Duo, you shouldn't be so proud at winning against a mechanical ringing device..." she said quietly. "Maybe not but I am!" He declared proudly. "Mr.Maxwell, You are quite right, You are late. Detention! for being late and interrupting the class. Now sit quietly and open your book to chapter 11" "yes ma'am"
He winked at sakura,hearing the soft chuckle he inspired in her.
Sakura smiled before her face became once again a blank mask. Skimming the chapter as she thought...
Duo is so happy. I wonder how he manages to smile. He's done what I have...seen what I have..
She watched Duo doze off, and gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind his ear. She wasnt sure why Duo made her smile. He was dumb, silly, unusually hyper, and cute. Funny, Boys had never interested her before. And she knew that it was useless to become interested in them now. After all, what use was it to start a relationship when you can be killed at any time? Besides, she was not the loving type. With a soft sigh she kicked him beneath the desk,waking him just in time before the teacher noticed him.
giving her one of his famous smiles, he nodded at what the teacher was saying though He had no idea what the woman was rambling on about. His eyes drifted to the side, watching Sakura as she took notes. Her brown eyes fixed upon the paper as her hand furiously scribbled what the teacher was saying. Her straight hair was pulled back in a single ponytail. He liked her. She was very interesting to him. She was Heero. If Heero were a girl. He laughed at that thought, earning a glare from both Sakura and the teacher. sinking deeper in his chair he considered going back to sleep,but with only a few minutes left in class he decided it would waste time. Instead he fixed his thoughts on her again. It was odd to him, that she had been paired up with Heero. after all wouldn't it make more sense to pair her up with him? Heero didnt need help, and Duo could use someone serious to keep him in line...then again....
He blinked rapidly as Sakura walked past him and out the door, he hadn't even noticed the bell had Rung.
I ran down the hallway, the shouts of guards following me. I dropped the gun, it was useless to me now, the task had been done. I jumped out the window,hitting the ground at a dead run. my boots sinking deep into the moist dirt, I was breathing heavily, They were still close behind me. Luckily they had bad aim, and had yet to shoot me. I slipped, my body sliding over the ground easily. I tried to situp,but something was ontop of me. No not something, Someone. I began to struggle, fighting fiercely until a husky voice whispered into my ear "Its heero, be still or Be caught." I shivered at the warm breath on my skin but nodded my understanding.
The guards ran past us, I realized I hadnt slipped. He had purposely tripped me, and dragged me behind the bushes...I lay very still. My heart racing, but not from the running, or even from fear, His body was drawn out ontop of mine. His face inches from mine though his eyes were looking up for any signs of the guards. His weight was heavy, and I wondered at that. He was lean but aparently he worked out far more than I was aware of. After several minutes more I whispered very quietly,"Heero I think they are gone" His blue eyes looked into mine, "Yes". I waited but he did not move, There was somethin odd in his eyes. I grew tense when his lips came closer to mine. I could feel his hot breath against them,smell the sweet scent of his breath...but he He simply rolled off me and onto his feet. Offering a hand To help me up....
