AC 205
"Mommy! No Mommy wake up!" a ten-year-old little girl sobbed, shaking the form of an older woman.
Their car had crashed, and the little girl was unharmed, but the mother, the driver of the car had not been so lucky. The little girl was sobbing her heart out, shaking her mother to get her to sit up and hug her and make all the pain go away. But her mother's lifeless body just lay there, blood splattered all over her once lovely face and down her body. Blood got onto the child's hands and face and everywhere.
A bystander came to kneel beside the child and placed a hand on the child's shoulder. "Come on honey. She's gone to a better place. You must let the nice people take care of her now."
The child, still sobbing lifted her head and numbly allowed the kind lady to lead her away from the wreck.
A week later the child had attended her mother's funeral and was now visiting with her mother's lawyer. Her chaperon was none other than the kind lady that had taken her in just after the wreck.
"What is that you must speak with the child about? Hasn't she been through enough as it is?" Clara Scott said as she stood behind the chair that her charge had taken.
"It concerns her future and welfare, Ms. Scott. It is her mother's last will and testament, that last past had not been read at the memorial for it was private and only for the child's ears. But since you are her caretaker for the time being you may listen as well." The lawyer said calmly and patiently.
Clara let out a sigh and nodded, "Fine. I will stay and listen."
The lawyer picked up a very small stack of papers from the center of his desk and turned the first page over. "Now little one, it says here that your care is entrusted to a few young men. Now to find them…"
Another week went by and the little girl clutched two folded pieces of papers in her hands as Clara led her around the circus. They were searching for one of the circus staff and soon found a tall man dressed in a clown outfit emerge from the performing tent, taking off his mask. Clara went up to him and stopped him politely.
"Excuse me," she said.
The man stopped and turned to the two. "Yes?" he asked in a deep voice. His deep green eyes were probing as he stared at the young woman.
"I was wondering if you could help us." Clara said. She turned to the girl just right behind her and asked over her shoulder, "Who were we looking for Sakoya?"
The little girl, still hidden behind the lady looked down at the papers in her hands and opened one just a bit. "We need to find either Quatre Winner, Duo Maxwell or Trowa Barton." She said in her high-pitched child's voice.
The man's eyes widened just a bit, "Please wait right here." He walked away from them back into the tent and when he came back out he had a blond man with him.
The blond had light green/blue eyes and he looked puzzled. "I am Quatre Winner." He said when he stood before the young woman.
"And I am Trowa Barton. Duo will join us in a few minutes, but will you please explain why you are looking for us?" the tall man dressed in the clown costume said.
Clara turned slightly to the side to see her young charge. Sakoya had tugged on the older woman's clothing and wanted her attention.
"We had an agreement Clara. I have found them and I want to talk to them alone now." The little ten-year-old said. But she sounded as if she was older, much older.
"Yes I know Sakoya." Clara replied as she knelt down. She pulled the girl into her warm embrace. "I'll miss you. Write me often. And don't worry, I'll send you your things when you get settled."
Then without another word Clara Scott walked away, leaving the young girl staring after her and the two men staring down at the little girl. It wasn't until that Clara was gone from sight that the little girl, Sakoya turned around.
Quatre, the blond gasped and looked rooted to the spot. Trowa on the other hand looked in disbelief at the girl and blinked repeatedly. They were struck speechless.
Sakoya grinned up at them and said cheerfully, "Hi, my name is Sakoya Une."
