"How do you know that?" Relena asked Quatre.
"I don't know." Quatre said, "I just had a gut feeling."
"Well you don't know for sure. Let's hope that you're wrong." Relena said.
Â
Kyna and Kimerly walked to Kimerly's room. "Dirake is going to find you a room of your own." Kimerly said.
"Thank you for letting me stay with you for now." Kyna said, "Ugh." Kyna said pulling her hair out of her face, "I can finally braid my hair. It's been driving me crazy."
"Your hair is very beautiful." Kimerly said, "Here you can use this brush." Kimerly said handing Kyna a brush.
"Thank you much." Kyna said taking the brush and sitting on one of the chairs around the table. She began to brush her long hair with a little difficulty.
"May I?" Kimerly asked walking up behind Kyna and taking the brush from her hand.
"Sure." Kyna flipped her hair behind her, and Kimerly began brushing it after pulling up a chair behind Kyna. "My mom used to brush my hair."
"I used to brush my daughter's hair." Kimerly said, "I loved to do it. She let me play with it a lot, and I loved it."
"You had a daughter?" Kyna said a little surprised.
"Yeah."
"How old is she?"
"She would have been 13 this November." Kimerly said, she stopped brushing Kyna's hair and her hands fell into her lap.
"What happened to her?" Kyna asked turning to look at Kimerly.
"She was killed. After the first war." a tear rolled down her cheek.
"How was she killed?"
"It was because of a mobile suit. Our apartment used to be right by a base that held mobile suits, the ones that weren't destroyed in the war. Well, someone decided to go and blow up those suits, and as one of the suits was falling, it fell into our building. I was only hurt, but she was killed.
"She was such a kind little girl, so polite, she always made sure others were safe, and okay. She always put others before herself. I remember her coming through the door right after taking her puppy for a walk, talking about meeting a man, and giving him a flower, or something like that. And then the suit came barging in. I tried to get to her, and protect her, but I was to late, the ceiling came right down on top of us both.
"I wish it were me that died, not her. I miss her so much. She was just so young. She had so much life left to live."
"I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
"It's quite all right." Kimerly said, "Now turn back around and let me finish your hair. Kimerly finished brushing Kyna's hair and braided it too.
"Thank you very much." Kyna said after Kimerly finished.
"You're welcome." Kimerly stretched and got up. "We had best get some rest. We have to get you moved tomorrow."
"I guess I'll have to go get all my stuff tomorrow too." Kyna said, "That will be interesting."
The next morning Kyna and Kimerly woke up and went to find Dirake. When they did find Dirake, they found Kyna's room and Dirake gave her the key. Kyna opened the door and walked in.
"Well, I guess I have to go get all my stuff now." Kyna said somewhat to herself.
"Would you like some help?" Kimerly asked.
"No. I can do it. I'll only get the stuff that I really need." Kyna said, "Thanks anyway." she sighed and turned around. "I'll see you later."
"Oh, Um. Dirake said that you were going to help me train the new recruits. So when you get back and set everything up. Come down to where the suits are, and you can help me." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna shut the door and walked out of the building. She walked slowly to the Saint Gabriel Institute. She stopped at the front door and took a deep breath. She slowly opened the door and walked in. She looked around, and began walking to her room. When she got the door of her room, she heard voices coming from within.
"I don't know what we should do with it all." she heard Relena say.
"Leave it here, she'll come back, some day. And besides I'll stay here for a while and I like the way this is set up." Quatre said.
"Oh boy." Kyna whispered to herself. She put her hand on the door knob and began to turn it. She opened the door slowly and she noticed that Quatre and Relena had stopped talking. Kyna stopped opening the door and took another deep breath. She stood for about ten seconds and then walked into the room.
"Kyna!" Quatre and Relena said at the same time. Kyna ignored the remark and walked over to her closet. She pulled out a bag and stood up.
"Kyna, what are you doing?" Relena asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Kyna said.
"You're wearing an Oz uniform." Relena said backing up a little.
"So it seems." Kyna said. She walked over to her dresser and began to put things in her bag.
"Kyna please don't do this." Quatre said. He got up off Kyna's bed and walked over to her.
"Leave me alone. Just let me do this." Kyna said.
"No, I won't." Quatre said grabbing her hand.
"Let me go."
"No. Not until you sit on your bed, and hear us out."
"Fine, just let me go."
"Sit on the bed." Quatre demanded. Kyna got up and sat down on her bed.
"What?" she demanded.
"What are you doing? Joining Oz. Is that really what you want?" Relena asked.
"What does it matter to you? You're the one's that made me do this." Kyna said.
"Was it really us, or is it that you just don't want to give up a grudge you've had for years." Quatre asked.
"This is what I want. Leave me alone." Kyna said trying to stand up. But Quatre pushed her back down.
"Kyna please don't do this." Quatre got down on his knees, and looked at Kyna, "I didn't want to hurt you. And I don't want to hurt you anymore." Kyna looked down at her hands. "Please, come back to us." he lifted her head, "Please."
"Quatre, I....." Kyna said.
"Relena will you leave us for a moment. I think I might be able to change her mind." Quatre said.
"Certainly." Relena said. She left the room.
"Look. Kyna, I know that you're mad at me. But sometimes you have to put the past behind you." he sat on the bed beside Kyna, "Please, reconsider. I love you. And I don't know what I would do if I ended up fighting you and hurting you again. Kyna look at me. I don't want you to get hurt."
"To late for that." Kyna said still angry.
"Kyna, don't be like that." Quatre said. Kyna stood up and began to pack things again. Quatre just sat on the bed watching her. When Kyna finished, she looked at Quatre.
"Good-bye." she said, she walked toward the door.
"Wait." Quatre said, he got up and walked over to her. "Please, if you're going to leave, do me one last thing."
"What?" Kyna asked annoyed.
"Kiss me." Quatre said.
"Quatre I'm no. . ." Kyna began to speak, but Quatre kissed her. Kyna stood there shocked for a moment. And then she closed her eyes, and kissed Quatre back. They parted after a while, and Kyna said, "It's not going to work, I'm sorry."
"Okay, I understand. Good-bye Kyna. I love you." Quatre said.
Kyna looked at Quatre before opening the door, "Good-bye Quatre." she walked out of the room and down the hall. "I love you too Quatre." she said to herself looking back at Quatre before walking out of the building.
"It didn't work." Quatre said.
"That's how she is. Always determined to finish what she started." Relena said.
"Yes, but she didn't start anything. She just went and joined Oz." Quatre said a little angry, "What happens if I have to fight her?"
"I don't know Quatre. Let's just hope she changes her mind before anything happens." Relena said, looking down the hall.
Â
Kyna walked very slow to the Oz base. Oh what do I do? I know that I love Quatre, it's just, he is a Gundam Pilot. And he did lie to me. But do I hate him, or love him? Oh, I don't know, I'm lost. I just need time, time to think this all through, and to actually prove to myself that I don't love Quatre, yeah that's all I need. She thought.
She finally got to the base, and showed the guards her Oz card. She walked up to her room, and got everything set up. While she was unpacking her stuff, she found a framed picture that she didn't remember putting in the bag. It was a picture of Quatre and her. Kyna sighed and put the picture on a her dresser right by a picture of her father, and another one of her mother. When she was finished she walked down to where the mobile suits were as she promised.
"Ah, you're here." Kimerly said when she saw Kyna, "Everyone, this is Lt. Yen. She is going to be helping me teach you."
"Hi." Kyna said walking up to Kimerly.
"Shall we begin." Kimerly said.
Â
Much time passed from that moment on. Kyna continued to work with Kimerly, and became better at piloting mobile suits. Dirake, who was watching Kyna, saw that Kyna was extremely skilled at piloting, and, that she was the best that he had. So one day he requested a meeting with her.
"Kyna, I've been watching you." Dirake said.
"Oh?" Kyna asked.
"Yes. And I've noticed that you are extremely skilled at piloting. And, I was wondering if you might be able to pilot a very special mobile suit."
"Which suit?"
"It's called the Tallgeese. It was used in the first war by Zechs Marquees. It was of course destroyed, but we made a new one. One that is much better that the last one. It's made out of Gundanium."
"A Gundam!"
"In a way, yes. But this is our suit. It is the equal of a Gundam, and with the right pilot, I'm sure it will be better than the Gundams. So what do you say?"
"Well, I'm sure I could. I would have to try it out first."
"Okay. Follow me." he got up and walked out of the room. Kyna followed. They walked for a while and then they walked into a mobile suit hangar. "Here it is." Dirake said as he walked in front of a mobile suit. "This is Tallgeese."
"Oh wow! This suit is amazing!" Kyna said with awe.
"Would you like to try it out?"
"Yes, please."
"Go ahead."
Kyna hopped into the cockpit and turned it on. Just then, an alarm went off.
"What's going on?" Dirake asked an officer.
"Sir, we're under attack by the Gundams." the officer said.
"Sir. If you will, let me fight them in this suit. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to handle it." Kyna said from inside the cockpit.
"Go right ahead." Dirake said. He opened the hangar door, and Kyna zoomed out.
Once outside of the base, Kyna looked around and saw all five Gundams standing on the large training platform. She turned to face them and began to walk over to them.
"So, you've decided to come out of hiding." Kyna said. Just then, many other Oz suits came out behind Kyna. "Good. At least I know I have reinforcements."
"Lt. Yen is in charge, so listen to her." Dirake said, over the speakers in the mobile suits.
"All right. Everyone, go after them, make sure they don't destroy the base. Get them away the base if you can." Kyna said. Everyone charged at the Gundams and began to fight. Kyna just stood still watching the fight. A suit walked up beside her.
"Are you just going to stand here, or are you going to help fight?" Kimerly asked.
"I'm going to watch for a moment. If I can see their tactics, then it will be easier to fight them." Kyna said.
"Ah, I see." Kimerly said, "Well, I'm going to go help." And with that Kimerly sped off toward the Gundams. Kyna stood there for a little while longer and then she walked a little closer to the battle and stood until the Oz soldiers looked like they were loosing.
"Everyone, stop, retreat. We can't loose anymore people. I'll stay and hold them off." Kyna said to the soldiers.
Kimerly's face came up on Kyna's screen. "Kyna. that's insane, you'll be killed for sure."
"No, I can fight them. I have wanted to kill them for so long." Kyna said, "And now is finally my chance."
"I'm staying here just in case you need my help." Kimerly said.
"Go ahead, but don't interfere." Kyna said. She walked toward the Gundams.
"What suit is that? I've never seen it before." Quatre asked the other G-wing boys.
"It's made out of Gundanium, and it's model is like that of the Tallgesse." Trowa said after finding out.
"But wasn't the Tallgesse destroyed?" Duo asked.
"Yes it was. But they still have the data on it. So they made a better one. Made out of Gundanium." Heero said.
"It's still no match for us." Wufei said.
"Are you just going to stand there. Or are you going to fight me?" Kyna asked the Gundam Pilots.
"A woman?" Wufei said.
"That voice sounds familiar." Quatre said.
"Are you going to stand there, or fight?" Kyna asked once again.
"I'll take her on." Wufei said. He stepped forward and went after Kyna. Kyna dodged his attack and pulled out a beam sword.
"Bring it on." Kyna said. Wufei put his dragon arm out and was about to attack, but Kyna flew forward and attempted to cut off the arm, but was unsuccessful. They continued to fight.
"She's good." Trowa said watching the fight.
"She's very good." Duo agreed.
"She hasn't been hit once so far." Quatre said.
"Hmm, I wonder who she is?" Heero said.
The Gundams just stood by, still watching Kyna and Wufei fight. And then Kyna finally got close enough to Wufei to cut of his Gundams arms. Both of them.
"Ha. Now you die, Gundam." Kyna said. She got ready to strike Wufei's Gundam.
"I'm going to go help him." Quatre said. He raced up to Wufei and attacked Kyna. Kyna dodged. "Wufei, get out of here." Quatre yelled.
"I've been beaten." Wufei said stunned.
"WUFEI GO!" Quatre said. Wufei snapped out of his amazement and flew away from the battle sight.
Quatre and Kyna stood looking at each other for a while and then Kyna said, "You will die as well Gundam fool."
"That voice! It's Kyna!" Quatre said to himself. Kyna, who had turned off her beam sword after Wufei left, turned it back on and lifted it. "WAIT, KYNA." Quatre yelled.
"Huh? How'd you know that?" Kyna asked. And then she remembered, "Quatre." she said angrily.
"Yes." his face appeared on Kyna's screen, "You're very good."
"So is your Gundam is 04. I should have figured." Kyna said still angry.
"Please, Kyna let's not fight. I can't fight you. I love you too much."
"STOP. DON'T DO THAT. I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT."
"Why do you hate it? Because I'm a Gundam pilot?"
"No. . . I mean yes."
"You said no at first. If not that then why is it?"
"Because, I don't."
"That's not an answer. WHY?" Kyna was silent. Quatre looked into her eyes, through the screen. Kyna looked back into his.
"Don't do that." Kyna said turning her face. "Just go. I'll let you live. This time."
"Kyna, please come with me."
"NO! I belong here."
"I know why you don't like me saying that I love you."
"Why then?" she asked angrily.
"Because you love me too. And you know it. Am I right?"
"Possibly. Now go away." she turned the screen off, and a tear ran down her cheek.
"Let's go guys." Quatre said to the Gundam Pilots. They all took off. "Bye Kyna." Quatre said before leaving.
"Bye love." Kyna said quietly to herself as tears began running down her cheeks.
"Kyna." Kimerly's face popped up on the screen. Kyna wiped her eyes.
"Yes." she said.
"Let's go back inside. You must be tired." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna went back down to the ground and put the Tallgeese back into the hangar. And hopped out of the cockpit.
"Congratulations. You beat a Gundam, and you didn't get hit once." Kimerly said walking up to Kyna.
"Thanks. We need to go out and find the survivors." Kyna said sadly.
"Don't worry about it. They've already got people out there." Kimerly said.
"Good job." Dirake said walking up to Kyna.
"Thank you." Kyna said still sad.
"You look tired." Kimerly said.
"Yes, you do. Take the rest of the day off, you deserve it." Dirake said.
"Thank you." Kyna said. She began to walk off.
"Wait, Kyna I'll walk with you." Kimerly said running after Kyna. Kyna sighed heavily while they were walking down the hall. "You love him still, don't you? He was right."
"Yes. I do love him still." Kyna said.
"Then why don't you go back to him?"
"Because, he lied to me."
"But you still love him. So obviously you don't care that much."
"But I do care. He's a Gundam Pilot. And I hate the Gundams."
Kimerly just shook her head. "It's your decision."
They got to Kyna's room, "Thanks." Kyna said unlocking the door and walking in.
"Bye. You get some rest, and if you need to talk, you can come talk to me." Kimerly said.
"Thanks. Bye." Kyna said. Kimerly walked off and Kyna shut the door. She walked over to her stereo and pushed the play button on her tape. It was the tape her father used to sing to her. She walked over to the picture of her and Quatre on her dresser and picked it up. "Why am I here. Am I just hoping that I will begin to hate you?" she walked over to her bed and sat down still holding the picture. "Oh, how could I hate you? Why do I torture myself like this? I know I love you, and you know I love you. So why am I still here? I don't want to believe it, that's why. That's the reason why." she put the picture back on the dresser and laid down on her bed. And soon she was asleep.
Â
"Quatre what was all that about?" Heero asked when they got to the Saint Gabrielle Institute.
"Hey cut him some slack, he's in love. Sure his girlfriend is in Oz, but he had to do something. Like I've said before, anything for the one you love." Duo said patting Quatre on the back.
"Thanks Duo. Sorry Herro, when I found out who it was, I couldn't help myself." Quatre said. They walked into the school, and found Relena in her office.
"Hi guys." Relena said after they walked in. "So?"
"Nataku was defeated." Wufei said.
"What? By who." Relena asked.
"Kyna." Quatre answered.
"Kyna!" she said amazed, "She defeated Wufei?"
"Yep. It was quite the battle, and she has got quite the skills, we'll have to watch out for her." Duo said.
"She'll be a problem." Trowa said.
"I think I should go join Oz. I could be closer to Kyna, and I could tell you what their plans are. "Quatre said.
"I don't know Quatre. They know what you look like, and your name." Relena said.
"I have a plan don't worry. I have a fake name, and I'll change my hair or something like that." Quatre said.
"It's dangerous Quatre. But I don't think we'll be able to stop you." Trowa said. "Good luck."
"I'll go join tomorrow." Quatre said, "Now if you don't mind I'm going to go get some rest."
"No we don't mind, go." Relena said.
"Thanks. Bye guys." Quatre said walking out of the room. He walked to Kyna's room and walked in. "You won't know who I am. but at least I'll be near you." Quatre said. He laid down on the bed and dozed off.
The next morning, Quatre woke up and spiked his hair so he would look different, and he also changed his clothes, and headed over to the Oz base.
"Halt. You are not a member of Oz." the guard said.
"Yes I know." Quatre said, "I want to join though, so may I talk to your leader?"
"Hold on, we will call him." the guard said. The guard called Dirake and Dirake came out immediately.
"You want to join Oz?" Dirake asked Quatre.
"Yes sir." Quatre said.
"Why?" Dirake asked.
"I like to fight. And the Gundams seen like fun to fight." Quatre lied.
"Hmm. What's your name?"
"Rob Winter. I brought a profile for you." Quatre said handing Dirake a folder.
"Rob Winter huh?" he open the folder, "You seem like a pretty decent guy. Welcome aboard." he stretched out his hand. Quatre took it and they shook hands. "Have you ever fought in a mobile suit?"
"No. I've never even been close to one." Quatre lied.
"I'll introduce you to your fighting instructor after you get a uniform. You'll have to pay for your uniform, and you also need a dress uniform."
"Okay, how much?"
"Twenty dollars all together."
"Really that's it?"
"Yeah. We don't charge much, because we have a lot of uniforms left over from the first war."
"Oh." They walked into a room full of uniforms. "Here's the money." Quatre said giving Dirake a Twenty dollar bill.
"Thanks. What size are you?"
"A fourteen."
"Ah, here you go. Here's your everyday uniform, and this is your dress uniform." Dirake said handing him two uniforms. "If you follow me. I'll show you your room." Dirake said walking out of the room. They walked down a few halls and came to a room. "This is your room." He pulled out a key and gave it Quatre, "Get into your uniform and come back out here so we can get you an ID card." Quatre did as he was told and got changed. After he walked out into the hall. "Follow me." Dirake said. They walked to a room, where Dirake placed Quatre by a wall and took his picture for his ID.
"I'll introduce you to your fighting instructor now. Come." Dirake said. They walked to a room right by Quatre's new room and Dirake knocked on the door. "Lt. Yen."
Kyna, woke up because of the knock on the door. "Hold on." she said. She got up, walked to the door and opened it. "Yes?"
"This is Rob Winter. He will be a new student of yours." Dirake said.
"Hi." Kyna said looking Quatre. She looked away, and then quickly turned back and stared at Quatre.
"Is there a problem?" Dirake asked.
"No," Kyna said bring her hand up to the side of her head and closing her eyes for a few seconds, "I just thought that he was someone I know. But he isn't."
"Okay." Dirake said, "His apartment is right by yours. So you'll know where to find him if you need to talk to him."
"All right. Thank you sir." Kyna said.
Kyna, it's so good to see you when your not mad at me. Of course you don't know who I am, but I'll be able to see you and talk to you without you getting mad. You're so beautiful. Quatre thought.
"Is there a problem." Kyna asked Quatre seeing the way he was staring at her.
He shook his head, "No, nothing. Absolutely nothing at all." he said happily.
"Well, I have things to attend to. Rob, go to your room. If you have any questions ask Kyna." Dirake said. He walked off.
"Well, it was nice to talk to you Rob." Kyna said.
"You too." Quatre said. Kyna shut the door and went to sit on her bed. She looked down at the picture of Quatre.
Quatre went into his room and looked around. He sat on the floor against the wall nearest to Kyna's room.
"Oh Kyna I miss you." Quatre said at the same time that Kyna said in the other room, "Oh Quatre I miss you."
Kyna picked up the picture and looked at it. And at the same time Quatre took the same picture out of a small bag he had brought with him and sat on the bed looking at it.
"Quatre. I'm so sorry." Kyna said kissing Quatre's picture and placing it back on top of her dresser. "I had better go see if my neighbor is all situated." she got up and walked over to Quatre's room. She knocked on the door.
Quatre jumped at the unexpected knock, "Who is it?"
"It's me, your neighbor." Kyna said.
"Uh, hold on a moment." Quatre said. He quickly put the picture in his bag and went to the door and opened it. "Hi."
"Hi. I thought I'd come see if you needed any help unpacking or anything." Kyna said.
"Uh, no, I'm fine. I have everything under control." Quatre said.
"All right. Well if you need me, I'll be right next door." Kyna said turning to go to her room.
"Actually, I do have some questions about the organization." Quatre said.
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Would you like to come in first? Then you can sit down and tell me."
"Sure." she walked into the room and Quatre closed the door.
"I'm afraid the only thing I have in here to sit on is the bed, or the floor. You can sit on the bed if you like."
"Thank you." she sat down on the bed and Quatre sat down beside her. "So what do you want to know."
"Well, what is the schedule like?" Quatre asked.
"Well, you can wake up anytime before seven, and then at ten, you'll come down to the suit hangar and take the class. You'll stay there until six o'clock, unless something happens. And then you get free time, unless something happens." Kyna said.
Quatre continued to ask questions, but not because he wanted to know. He knew almost everything about Oz already. He asked so he could hear Kyna's voice.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kyna asked once noticing that Quatre was staring at her.
"I was just admiring your beauty." Quatre said.
"What?" Kyna asked.
"Sorry. It's just, you're so beautiful."
"Thank you. Well I had best get going. I still need to make my dinner. Do you have any food?"
"Um, no. But I can just go out and buy some."
"Well okay if you insist. Good -bye. I'll see you tomorrow at ten." she walked out of the room and into her own. "He reminds me so much of Quatre."
Kyna cooked some dinner and then got ready for bed. Before she went to bed, she turned on the tape that she always played, and hopped into her bed.
"Good-night Quatre. Wherever you are." Kyna said.
Â
The next morning Kyna woke and ate. And after eating, brushing her teeth and getting dressed. She walked to Quatre's room and knocked on the door. Quatre opened it.
"Hi." he said.
"Hi. I just thought that I'd show you where the mobile suit hangars were. Since you probably don't know." Kyna said.
"Actually, I don't know where they were. I was just getting ready to leave and try to find them. But it would be much easier going with you. Thanks for coming by." Quatre said.
"No prob. Shall we get going?" Kyna asked.
"Yes we shall." Quatre said walking out of his room and locking the door. They walked down the hangars in silence.
The next couple of days Kyna stopped by to get "Rob" before going to the hangars. And after a while it became sort of a routine. And in time they were quite good friends.
On one occasion Kyna and "Rob" were supposed to have a friendly dinner. Kyna got all ready and knocked on Quatre's door. Quatre opened the door and Kyna walked in.
"Hi." she said.
"Hi. Dinner will be ready in a minute. In the meantime you can sit on the bed." Quatre said. He still hadn't got a table, or a couch for that matter. So Kyna sat on the bed. She looked around just for fun, and noticed a picture on his dresser she had never seen before. She got up and walked over to his dresser. She gasped when she saw the picture, it was the exact same picture of her and Quatre that she had.
"What, is there something wrong?" Quatre asked.
Kyna picked up the picture and turned around to look at "Rob". She looked at the picture of Quatre, and then at "Rob".
"Uh oh." Quatre said noticing that he had forgotten to hide the picture before he opened the door.
"You . . . you're. Quatre?" she finally managed to say. Tears began to fill her eyes, as she placed it back on the dresser.
"Kyna, before you say or do anything. . ." Quatre began to say.
"I missed you so much." Kyna said cutting of his sentence and running up to him and hugging him.
"You're not mad?" Quatre asked.
"No. I'm relived. I missed you so much. I'm so sorry for what I did." Kyna said looking up at Quatre.
"I missed you." Quatre said. They looked into each others eyes. Quatre leaned down and they kissed. A long loving kiss. One that was needed badly, for the both of them. They reluctantly parted after a while and looked at each other.
"You have no idea how much I've wanted to do that these past few months." Quatre said.
"I've wanted a kiss from you, for a long time." Kyna said. "I'm so happy you're here."
"I'm glad I don't have to hide my identity from you anymore. But you can't tell anyone else."
"I won't. I promise, just as long as you kiss me again." Kyna said. Quatre smiled and kissed her again. While they were kissing the alarm on the oven went off. Kyna and Quatre parted, and Quatre turned off the oven, and pulled out a pan of enchiladas.
"It's finished, but we have to let them cool. In the mean time, there's something I want to do for you." he walked over to his dresser where he opened the last drawer and pulled out a violin. "I want to play this song for you. Quatre placed the violin against his shoulder and began to play a song.
"That song. I know it." Kyna said smiling.
Quatre began to sing to the tune, "Love is real, real is love. Love is feeling, feeling love. Love is wanting to be loved."
Kyna began to sing along with him, "Love is touch, touch is love. Love is reaching, reaching love. Love is asking to be loved. Love is you, you and me. Love is knowing you can be." they stopped singing and Kyna listened to Quatre play, then they began to sing again, " Love is free, free is love. Love is living, living love. Love is needing to be loved. Love is you, you and me. Love is wanting to be free. Love is knowing, we will be." Quatre played the end of the song and his hands dropped.
"Oh Quatre. I love you so much." Kyna said, "When did you learn that?"
"I learned it the day you left the first time. I missed you, so I played the tape that you like so much, and when I heard that song, I listened to it again and again. And in time I had in memorized, and I learned how to play it on my violin after you left the second time." Quatre said.
"Oh, Quatre. Why did I ever leave you?" Kyna asked.
"I don't know." Quatre smiled, "Shall we eat?"
"Certainly." They sat down on the floor and began to eat. After they finished eating, they sat on Quatre's bed.
"You are so beautiful." Quatre said.
"Hey Quatre, do you remember that day when you asked me if you would ever see my hair down?" Kyna asked.
"Yes. And I still want to." Quatre said.
Kyna smiled. She grabbed her braid and pulled out her elastic. She unbraided her hair and shook her head so it would fall down around her face.
"You're even more beautiful this way." Quatre said. He began to stroke her hair, "It's so soft." he looked at her, "I love you Kyna." he said softly.
"I love you Quatre." Kyna said. They once again looked at each other and kissed. Quatre leaned Kyna back so that she was laying on the bed while they kissed. Then they parted and Quatre began kissing Kyna's neck. Then he went back up and kissed her on the lips.
While they were kissing, there was a knock on the door. They parted, and Quatre got up and went to the door. He opened the door, and there stood Kimerly.
"Hi, um, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you knew where Kyna was." Kimerly said.
"Well, um yeah. She's here." Quatre said.
"Oh, may I speak to her?" Kimerly asked.
"Yeah, come on it." Quatre said stepping aside.
Kyna who had noticed that it was Kimerly on the other side of the door began to braid her hair back up. "Hi Kim." Kyna said when Kimerly walked into the room.
"Hi Kyna. How come you're here?" Kimerly asked.
"Rob asked me if I wanted to eat dinner over here, and so that's what we were doing." Kyna said.
"It smells good in here." Kimerly said. "Um, well Dirake is asking for your presence."
"All right. Well I have to go. Thanks for dinner." Kyna said, she put her elastic back into her now braided hair, stood up, walked over to Quatre and hugged him, "I love you." she whispered.
"Kyna, we need to go, he wants you as soon as possible, it sounds kind of urgent." Kimerly said.
Kyna stopped hugging Quatre. "Bye." she said.
"Bye." Quatre said. Kyna and Kimerly walked out of the room and headed down to Dirakes office.
"You like Rob don't you?" Kimerly said.
"No, he's just a good friend." Kyna lied.
"Uh hu sure." Kimerly teased.
"Shut up. You're so wrong about us, were just friends." Kyna said.
"I know, I'm just teasing." Kimerly said.
"I know." Kyna said. They finally got to Dirake's office and Kyna knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Dirake asked.
"It's me Kyna, sir." Kyna said.
Dirake walked to the door and opened it. "Ah, thank you very much for finding her Lt. Doll. You may leave now." Dirake said.
"Thank you sir. Bye Kyna." Kimerly said, she turned and walked away.
"Kyna, please come in." Dirake said moving aside and ushering Kyna in. He shut the door after she walked in.
"So what's wrong? Kimerly said that you sounded like it was urgent." Kyna said.
"No, there's nothing wrong. I just need to tell you something." Dirake said walking up to Kyna.
"What's that?"
"Well, I'm not exactly sure how to tell you this."
"What?"
Dirake walked up to Kyna and kissed her on the lips. Kyna pushed him away from her.
"Sir I. . ." Kyna began to speak.
"Don't say anything. Look, I've fallen in love with you. You're just so beautiful, and talented, and you have such a great sense of humor. I've never done this before. I don't know why, but I did fall in love with you." Dirake said.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't be with you. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm sorry." Kyna said.
"Who?"
"Someone I've loved since before I came here."
"Oh. Well please, just kiss me once. That's all I ask, is for one kiss from you. Please."
"Sir, I . . . no I'm sorry." she turned and walked out of the room.
"Kyna." Dirake whispered.
Kyna walked down to Quatre's room and knocked on the door. Quatre opened it almost immediately.
"Hi." he said, he let her in. "So what did Dirake want?"
"Quatre, nobody can know about you and me. Not even as Rob."
"Why?"
"Because, Dirake is in love with me and if he finds out that it's you I love, he's sure to do something."
"Okay, I won't tell a soul."
"Thank you Quatre." Kyna yawned. "I'm going to go to bed. Good-night love." Kyna said walking up to Quatre, she gave him a good-night kiss and walked to the door.
"Good-night Kyna." Quatre said before she left.
Â
The next few weeks everything was the same. Kyna and Quatre kissed in private, but other than that they just acted like friends.
But somehow, someone found out about Quatre being a Gundam pilot and told Dirake.
So one night as Kyna was getting into bed, there was a knocking on the door.
"Hold on." Kyna said, she crawled out of bed and opened the door, "Hi Kim." she said when she saw who it was.
"Kyna, get dressed quickly and come to the courtyard. This is urgent." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna said. She shut the door and got dressed in her Oz uniform. After she was finished she walked down to the courtyard. When she walked out the first thing she saw was, Quatre standing by a wall with his hands tied behind his back, and Dirake ten feet in front of him with a gun. "What's going on here?" Kyna asked scared.
"This guy is a traitor. And the one who stole you're heart away from me." Dirake said.
"No Dirake don't do this. Please I beg you." Tears began to form in her eyes and roll down her cheek.
"This is what happens to traitors." Dirake said, "Please stand behind the line over there." he pointed to a line. She went to the side line, and she was the closest to Quatre.
Kyna began to have flash backs of when her father was killed. "No not the same way." Kyna sobbed. "Not the same way my father died." She looked at Quatre.
"I love you Kyna." he said loud enough so that she could hear him.
"I love you too. Quatre." she sobbed. "Please Dirake, I beg you to reconsider. I will hate you forever if you do this. Please, please."
"No, he is a traitor, and so he must die." Dirake said. He lifted the gun and pulled the trigger.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Â
Â
What happens now? Does Quatre die, or will Kyna risk her own life to save his? I don't know, you tell me. Please review.
Â
Â
"How do you know that?" Relena asked Quatre.
"I don't know." Quatre said, "I just had a gut feeling."
"Well you don't know for sure. Let's hope that you're wrong." Relena said.
Â
Kyna and Kimerly walked to Kimerly's room. "Dirake is going to find you a room of your own." Kimerly said.
"Thank you for letting me stay with you for now." Kyna said, "Ugh." Kyna said pulling her hair out of her face, "I can finally braid my hair. It's been driving me crazy."
"Your hair is very beautiful." Kimerly said, "Here you can use this brush." Kimerly said handing Kyna a brush.
"Thank you much." Kyna said taking the brush and sitting on one of the chairs around the table. She began to brush her long hair with a little difficulty.
"May I?" Kimerly asked walking up behind Kyna and taking the brush from her hand.
"Sure." Kyna flipped her hair behind her, and Kimerly began brushing it after pulling up a chair behind Kyna. "My mom used to brush my hair."
"I used to brush my daughter's hair." Kimerly said, "I loved to do it. She let me play with it a lot, and I loved it."
"You had a daughter?" Kyna said a little surprised.
"Yeah."
"How old is she?"
"She would have been 13 this November." Kimerly said, she stopped brushing Kyna's hair and her hands fell into her lap.
"What happened to her?" Kyna asked turning to look at Kimerly.
"She was killed. After the first war." a tear rolled down her cheek.
"How was she killed?"
"It was because of a mobile suit. Our apartment used to be right by a base that held mobile suits, the ones that weren't destroyed in the war. Well, someone decided to go and blow up those suits, and as one of the suits was falling, it fell into our building. I was only hurt, but she was killed.
"She was such a kind little girl, so polite, she always made sure others were safe, and okay. She always put others before herself. I remember her coming through the door right after taking her puppy for a walk, talking about meeting a man, and giving him a flower, or something like that. And then the suit came barging in. I tried to get to her, and protect her, but I was to late, the ceiling came right down on top of us both.
"I wish it were me that died, not her. I miss her so much. She was just so young. She had so much life left to live."
"I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
"It's quite all right." Kimerly said, "Now turn back around and let me finish your hair. Kimerly finished brushing Kyna's hair and braided it too.
"Thank you very much." Kyna said after Kimerly finished.
"You're welcome." Kimerly stretched and got up. "We had best get some rest. We have to get you moved tomorrow."
"I guess I'll have to go get all my stuff tomorrow too." Kyna said, "That will be interesting."
The next morning Kyna and Kimerly woke up and went to find Dirake. When they did find Dirake, they found Kyna's room and Dirake gave her the key. Kyna opened the door and walked in.
"Well, I guess I have to go get all my stuff now." Kyna said somewhat to herself.
"Would you like some help?" Kimerly asked.
"No. I can do it. I'll only get the stuff that I really need." Kyna said, "Thanks anyway." she sighed and turned around. "I'll see you later."
"Oh, Um. Dirake said that you were going to help me train the new recruits. So when you get back and set everything up. Come down to where the suits are, and you can help me." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna shut the door and walked out of the building. She walked slowly to the Saint Gabriel Institute. She stopped at the front door and took a deep breath. She slowly opened the door and walked in. She looked around, and began walking to her room. When she got the door of her room, she heard voices coming from within.
"I don't know what we should do with it all." she heard Relena say.
"Leave it here, she'll come back, some day. And besides I'll stay here for a while and I like the way this is set up." Quatre said.
"Oh boy." Kyna whispered to herself. She put her hand on the door knob and began to turn it. She opened the door slowly and she noticed that Quatre and Relena had stopped talking. Kyna stopped opening the door and took another deep breath. She stood for about ten seconds and then walked into the room.
"Kyna!" Quatre and Relena said at the same time. Kyna ignored the remark and walked over to her closet. She pulled out a bag and stood up.
"Kyna, what are you doing?" Relena asked.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" Kyna said.
"You're wearing an Oz uniform." Relena said backing up a little.
"So it seems." Kyna said. She walked over to her dresser and began to put things in her bag.
"Kyna please don't do this." Quatre said. He got up off Kyna's bed and walked over to her.
"Leave me alone. Just let me do this." Kyna said.
"No, I won't." Quatre said grabbing her hand.
"Let me go."
"No. Not until you sit on your bed, and hear us out."
"Fine, just let me go."
"Sit on the bed." Quatre demanded. Kyna got up and sat down on her bed.
"What?" she demanded.
"What are you doing? Joining Oz. Is that really what you want?" Relena asked.
"What does it matter to you? You're the one's that made me do this." Kyna said.
"Was it really us, or is it that you just don't want to give up a grudge you've had for years." Quatre asked.
"This is what I want. Leave me alone." Kyna said trying to stand up. But Quatre pushed her back down.
"Kyna please don't do this." Quatre got down on his knees, and looked at Kyna, "I didn't want to hurt you. And I don't want to hurt you anymore." Kyna looked down at her hands. "Please, come back to us." he lifted her head, "Please."
"Quatre, I....." Kyna said.
"Relena will you leave us for a moment. I think I might be able to change her mind." Quatre said.
"Certainly." Relena said. She left the room.
"Look. Kyna, I know that you're mad at me. But sometimes you have to put the past behind you." he sat on the bed beside Kyna, "Please, reconsider. I love you. And I don't know what I would do if I ended up fighting you and hurting you again. Kyna look at me. I don't want you to get hurt."
"To late for that." Kyna said still angry.
"Kyna, don't be like that." Quatre said. Kyna stood up and began to pack things again. Quatre just sat on the bed watching her. When Kyna finished, she looked at Quatre.
"Good-bye." she said, she walked toward the door.
"Wait." Quatre said, he got up and walked over to her. "Please, if you're going to leave, do me one last thing."
"What?" Kyna asked annoyed.
"Kiss me." Quatre said.
"Quatre I'm no. . ." Kyna began to speak, but Quatre kissed her. Kyna stood there shocked for a moment. And then she closed her eyes, and kissed Quatre back. They parted after a while, and Kyna said, "It's not going to work, I'm sorry."
"Okay, I understand. Good-bye Kyna. I love you." Quatre said.
Kyna looked at Quatre before opening the door, "Good-bye Quatre." she walked out of the room and down the hall. "I love you too Quatre." she said to herself looking back at Quatre before walking out of the building.
"It didn't work." Quatre said.
"That's how she is. Always determined to finish what she started." Relena said.
"Yes, but she didn't start anything. She just went and joined Oz." Quatre said a little angry, "What happens if I have to fight her?"
"I don't know Quatre. Let's just hope she changes her mind before anything happens." Relena said, looking down the hall.
Â
Kyna walked very slow to the Oz base. Oh what do I do? I know that I love Quatre, it's just, he is a Gundam Pilot. And he did lie to me. But do I hate him, or love him? Oh, I don't know, I'm lost. I just need time, time to think this all through, and to actually prove to myself that I don't love Quatre, yeah that's all I need. She thought.
She finally got to the base, and showed the guards her Oz card. She walked up to her room, and got everything set up. While she was unpacking her stuff, she found a framed picture that she didn't remember putting in the bag. It was a picture of Quatre and her. Kyna sighed and put the picture on a her dresser right by a picture of her father, and another one of her mother. When she was finished she walked down to where the mobile suits were as she promised.
"Ah, you're here." Kimerly said when she saw Kyna, "Everyone, this is Lt. Yen. She is going to be helping me teach you."
"Hi." Kyna said walking up to Kimerly.
"Shall we begin." Kimerly said.
Â
Much time passed from that moment on. Kyna continued to work with Kimerly, and became better at piloting mobile suits. Dirake, who was watching Kyna, saw that Kyna was extremely skilled at piloting, and, that she was the best that he had. So one day he requested a meeting with her.
"Kyna, I've been watching you." Dirake said.
"Oh?" Kyna asked.
"Yes. And I've noticed that you are extremely skilled at piloting. And, I was wondering if you might be able to pilot a very special mobile suit."
"Which suit?"
"It's called the Tallgeese. It was used in the first war by Zechs Marquees. It was of course destroyed, but we made a new one. One that is much better that the last one. It's made out of Gundanium."
"A Gundam!"
"In a way, yes. But this is our suit. It is the equal of a Gundam, and with the right pilot, I'm sure it will be better than the Gundams. So what do you say?"
"Well, I'm sure I could. I would have to try it out first."
"Okay. Follow me." he got up and walked out of the room. Kyna followed. They walked for a while and then they walked into a mobile suit hangar. "Here it is." Dirake said as he walked in front of a mobile suit. "This is Tallgeese."
"Oh wow! This suit is amazing!" Kyna said with awe.
"Would you like to try it out?"
"Yes, please."
"Go ahead."
Kyna hopped into the cockpit and turned it on. Just then, an alarm went off.
"What's going on?" Dirake asked an officer.
"Sir, we're under attack by the Gundams." the officer said.
"Sir. If you will, let me fight them in this suit. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to handle it." Kyna said from inside the cockpit.
"Go right ahead." Dirake said. He opened the hangar door, and Kyna zoomed out.
Once outside of the base, Kyna looked around and saw all five Gundams standing on the large training platform. She turned to face them and began to walk over to them.
"So, you've decided to come out of hiding." Kyna said. Just then, many other Oz suits came out behind Kyna. "Good. At least I know I have reinforcements."
"Lt. Yen is in charge, so listen to her." Dirake said, over the speakers in the mobile suits.
"All right. Everyone, go after them, make sure they don't destroy the base. Get them away the base if you can." Kyna said. Everyone charged at the Gundams and began to fight. Kyna just stood still watching the fight. A suit walked up beside her.
"Are you just going to stand here, or are you going to help fight?" Kimerly asked.
"I'm going to watch for a moment. If I can see their tactics, then it will be easier to fight them." Kyna said.
"Ah, I see." Kimerly said, "Well, I'm going to go help." And with that Kimerly sped off toward the Gundams. Kyna stood there for a little while longer and then she walked a little closer to the battle and stood until the Oz soldiers looked like they were loosing.
"Everyone, stop, retreat. We can't loose anymore people. I'll stay and hold them off." Kyna said to the soldiers.
Kimerly's face came up on Kyna's screen. "Kyna. that's insane, you'll be killed for sure."
"No, I can fight them. I have wanted to kill them for so long." Kyna said, "And now is finally my chance."
"I'm staying here just in case you need my help." Kimerly said.
"Go ahead, but don't interfere." Kyna said. She walked toward the Gundams.
"What suit is that? I've never seen it before." Quatre asked the other G-wing boys.
"It's made out of Gundanium, and it's model is like that of the Tallgesse." Trowa said after finding out.
"But wasn't the Tallgesse destroyed?" Duo asked.
"Yes it was. But they still have the data on it. So they made a better one. Made out of Gundanium." Heero said.
"It's still no match for us." Wufei said.
"Are you just going to stand there. Or are you going to fight me?" Kyna asked the Gundam Pilots.
"A woman?" Wufei said.
"That voice sounds familiar." Quatre said.
"Are you going to stand there, or fight?" Kyna asked once again.
"I'll take her on." Wufei said. He stepped forward and went after Kyna. Kyna dodged his attack and pulled out a beam sword.
"Bring it on." Kyna said. Wufei put his dragon arm out and was about to attack, but Kyna flew forward and attempted to cut off the arm, but was unsuccessful. They continued to fight.
"She's good." Trowa said watching the fight.
"She's very good." Duo agreed.
"She hasn't been hit once so far." Quatre said.
"Hmm, I wonder who she is?" Heero said.
The Gundams just stood by, still watching Kyna and Wufei fight. And then Kyna finally got close enough to Wufei to cut of his Gundams arms. Both of them.
"Ha. Now you die, Gundam." Kyna said. She got ready to strike Wufei's Gundam.
"I'm going to go help him." Quatre said. He raced up to Wufei and attacked Kyna. Kyna dodged. "Wufei, get out of here." Quatre yelled.
"I've been beaten." Wufei said stunned.
"WUFEI GO!" Quatre said. Wufei snapped out of his amazement and flew away from the battle sight.
Quatre and Kyna stood looking at each other for a while and then Kyna said, "You will die as well Gundam fool."
"That voice! It's Kyna!" Quatre said to himself. Kyna, who had turned off her beam sword after Wufei left, turned it back on and lifted it. "WAIT, KYNA." Quatre yelled.
"Huh? How'd you know that?" Kyna asked. And then she remembered, "Quatre." she said angrily.
"Yes." his face appeared on Kyna's screen, "You're very good."
"So is your Gundam is 04. I should have figured." Kyna said still angry.
"Please, Kyna let's not fight. I can't fight you. I love you too much."
"STOP. DON'T DO THAT. I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT."
"Why do you hate it? Because I'm a Gundam pilot?"
"No. . . I mean yes."
"You said no at first. If not that then why is it?"
"Because, I don't."
"That's not an answer. WHY?" Kyna was silent. Quatre looked into her eyes, through the screen. Kyna looked back into his.
"Don't do that." Kyna said turning her face. "Just go. I'll let you live. This time."
"Kyna, please come with me."
"NO! I belong here."
"I know why you don't like me saying that I love you."
"Why then?" she asked angrily.
"Because you love me too. And you know it. Am I right?"
"Possibly. Now go away." she turned the screen off, and a tear ran down her cheek.
"Let's go guys." Quatre said to the Gundam Pilots. They all took off. "Bye Kyna." Quatre said before leaving.
"Bye love." Kyna said quietly to herself as tears began running down her cheeks.
"Kyna." Kimerly's face popped up on the screen. Kyna wiped her eyes.
"Yes." she said.
"Let's go back inside. You must be tired." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna went back down to the ground and put the Tallgeese back into the hangar. And hopped out of the cockpit.
"Congratulations. You beat a Gundam, and you didn't get hit once." Kimerly said walking up to Kyna.
"Thanks. We need to go out and find the survivors." Kyna said sadly.
"Don't worry about it. They've already got people out there." Kimerly said.
"Good job." Dirake said walking up to Kyna.
"Thank you." Kyna said still sad.
"You look tired." Kimerly said.
"Yes, you do. Take the rest of the day off, you deserve it." Dirake said.
"Thank you." Kyna said. She began to walk off.
"Wait, Kyna I'll walk with you." Kimerly said running after Kyna. Kyna sighed heavily while they were walking down the hall. "You love him still, don't you? He was right."
"Yes. I do love him still." Kyna said.
"Then why don't you go back to him?"
"Because, he lied to me."
"But you still love him. So obviously you don't care that much."
"But I do care. He's a Gundam Pilot. And I hate the Gundams."
Kimerly just shook her head. "It's your decision."
They got to Kyna's room, "Thanks." Kyna said unlocking the door and walking in.
"Bye. You get some rest, and if you need to talk, you can come talk to me." Kimerly said.
"Thanks. Bye." Kyna said. Kimerly walked off and Kyna shut the door. She walked over to her stereo and pushed the play button on her tape. It was the tape her father used to sing to her. She walked over to the picture of her and Quatre on her dresser and picked it up. "Why am I here. Am I just hoping that I will begin to hate you?" she walked over to her bed and sat down still holding the picture. "Oh, how could I hate you? Why do I torture myself like this? I know I love you, and you know I love you. So why am I still here? I don't want to believe it, that's why. That's the reason why." she put the picture back on the dresser and laid down on her bed. And soon she was asleep.
Â
"Quatre what was all that about?" Heero asked when they got to the Saint Gabrielle Institute.
"Hey cut him some slack, he's in love. Sure his girlfriend is in Oz, but he had to do something. Like I've said before, anything for the one you love." Duo said patting Quatre on the back.
"Thanks Duo. Sorry Herro, when I found out who it was, I couldn't help myself." Quatre said. They walked into the school, and found Relena in her office.
"Hi guys." Relena said after they walked in. "So?"
"Nataku was defeated." Wufei said.
"What? By who." Relena asked.
"Kyna." Quatre answered.
"Kyna!" she said amazed, "She defeated Wufei?"
"Yep. It was quite the battle, and she has got quite the skills, we'll have to watch out for her." Duo said.
"She'll be a problem." Trowa said.
"I think I should go join Oz. I could be closer to Kyna, and I could tell you what their plans are. "Quatre said.
"I don't know Quatre. They know what you look like, and your name." Relena said.
"I have a plan don't worry. I have a fake name, and I'll change my hair or something like that." Quatre said.
"It's dangerous Quatre. But I don't think we'll be able to stop you." Trowa said. "Good luck."
"I'll go join tomorrow." Quatre said, "Now if you don't mind I'm going to go get some rest."
"No we don't mind, go." Relena said.
"Thanks. Bye guys." Quatre said walking out of the room. He walked to Kyna's room and walked in. "You won't know who I am. but at least I'll be near you." Quatre said. He laid down on the bed and dozed off.
The next morning, Quatre woke up and spiked his hair so he would look different, and he also changed his clothes, and headed over to the Oz base.
"Halt. You are not a member of Oz." the guard said.
"Yes I know." Quatre said, "I want to join though, so may I talk to your leader?"
"Hold on, we will call him." the guard said. The guard called Dirake and Dirake came out immediately.
"You want to join Oz?" Dirake asked Quatre.
"Yes sir." Quatre said.
"Why?" Dirake asked.
"I like to fight. And the Gundams seen like fun to fight." Quatre lied.
"Hmm. What's your name?"
"Rob Winter. I brought a profile for you." Quatre said handing Dirake a folder.
"Rob Winter huh?" he open the folder, "You seem like a pretty decent guy. Welcome aboard." he stretched out his hand. Quatre took it and they shook hands. "Have you ever fought in a mobile suit?"
"No. I've never even been close to one." Quatre lied.
"I'll introduce you to your fighting instructor after you get a uniform. You'll have to pay for your uniform, and you also need a dress uniform."
"Okay, how much?"
"Twenty dollars all together."
"Really that's it?"
"Yeah. We don't charge much, because we have a lot of uniforms left over from the first war."
"Oh." They walked into a room full of uniforms. "Here's the money." Quatre said giving Dirake a Twenty dollar bill.
"Thanks. What size are you?"
"A fourteen."
"Ah, here you go. Here's your everyday uniform, and this is your dress uniform." Dirake said handing him two uniforms. "If you follow me. I'll show you your room." Dirake said walking out of the room. They walked down a few halls and came to a room. "This is your room." He pulled out a key and gave it Quatre, "Get into your uniform and come back out here so we can get you an ID card." Quatre did as he was told and got changed. After he walked out into the hall. "Follow me." Dirake said. They walked to a room, where Dirake placed Quatre by a wall and took his picture for his ID.
"I'll introduce you to your fighting instructor now. Come." Dirake said. They walked to a room right by Quatre's new room and Dirake knocked on the door. "Lt. Yen."
Kyna, woke up because of the knock on the door. "Hold on." she said. She got up, walked to the door and opened it. "Yes?"
"This is Rob Winter. He will be a new student of yours." Dirake said.
"Hi." Kyna said looking Quatre. She looked away, and then quickly turned back and stared at Quatre.
"Is there a problem?" Dirake asked.
"No," Kyna said bring her hand up to the side of her head and closing her eyes for a few seconds, "I just thought that he was someone I know. But he isn't."
"Okay." Dirake said, "His apartment is right by yours. So you'll know where to find him if you need to talk to him."
"All right. Thank you sir." Kyna said.
Kyna, it's so good to see you when your not mad at me. Of course you don't know who I am, but I'll be able to see you and talk to you without you getting mad. You're so beautiful. Quatre thought.
"Is there a problem." Kyna asked Quatre seeing the way he was staring at her.
He shook his head, "No, nothing. Absolutely nothing at all." he said happily.
"Well, I have things to attend to. Rob, go to your room. If you have any questions ask Kyna." Dirake said. He walked off.
"Well, it was nice to talk to you Rob." Kyna said.
"You too." Quatre said. Kyna shut the door and went to sit on her bed. She looked down at the picture of Quatre.
Quatre went into his room and looked around. He sat on the floor against the wall nearest to Kyna's room.
"Oh Kyna I miss you." Quatre said at the same time that Kyna said in the other room, "Oh Quatre I miss you."
Kyna picked up the picture and looked at it. And at the same time Quatre took the same picture out of a small bag he had brought with him and sat on the bed looking at it.
"Quatre. I'm so sorry." Kyna said kissing Quatre's picture and placing it back on top of her dresser. "I had better go see if my neighbor is all situated." she got up and walked over to Quatre's room. She knocked on the door.
Quatre jumped at the unexpected knock, "Who is it?"
"It's me, your neighbor." Kyna said.
"Uh, hold on a moment." Quatre said. He quickly put the picture in his bag and went to the door and opened it. "Hi."
"Hi. I thought I'd come see if you needed any help unpacking or anything." Kyna said.
"Uh, no, I'm fine. I have everything under control." Quatre said.
"All right. Well if you need me, I'll be right next door." Kyna said turning to go to her room.
"Actually, I do have some questions about the organization." Quatre said.
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Would you like to come in first? Then you can sit down and tell me."
"Sure." she walked into the room and Quatre closed the door.
"I'm afraid the only thing I have in here to sit on is the bed, or the floor. You can sit on the bed if you like."
"Thank you." she sat down on the bed and Quatre sat down beside her. "So what do you want to know."
"Well, what is the schedule like?" Quatre asked.
"Well, you can wake up anytime before seven, and then at ten, you'll come down to the suit hangar and take the class. You'll stay there until six o'clock, unless something happens. And then you get free time, unless something happens." Kyna said.
Quatre continued to ask questions, but not because he wanted to know. He knew almost everything about Oz already. He asked so he could hear Kyna's voice.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kyna asked once noticing that Quatre was staring at her.
"I was just admiring your beauty." Quatre said.
"What?" Kyna asked.
"Sorry. It's just, you're so beautiful."
"Thank you. Well I had best get going. I still need to make my dinner. Do you have any food?"
"Um, no. But I can just go out and buy some."
"Well okay if you insist. Good -bye. I'll see you tomorrow at ten." she walked out of the room and into her own. "He reminds me so much of Quatre."
Kyna cooked some dinner and then got ready for bed. Before she went to bed, she turned on the tape that she always played, and hopped into her bed.
"Good-night Quatre. Wherever you are." Kyna said.
Â
The next morning Kyna woke and ate. And after eating, brushing her teeth and getting dressed. She walked to Quatre's room and knocked on the door. Quatre opened it.
"Hi." he said.
"Hi. I just thought that I'd show you where the mobile suit hangars were. Since you probably don't know." Kyna said.
"Actually, I don't know where they were. I was just getting ready to leave and try to find them. But it would be much easier going with you. Thanks for coming by." Quatre said.
"No prob. Shall we get going?" Kyna asked.
"Yes we shall." Quatre said walking out of his room and locking the door. They walked down the hangars in silence.
The next couple of days Kyna stopped by to get "Rob" before going to the hangars. And after a while it became sort of a routine. And in time they were quite good friends.
On one occasion Kyna and "Rob" were supposed to have a friendly dinner. Kyna got all ready and knocked on Quatre's door. Quatre opened the door and Kyna walked in.
"Hi." she said.
"Hi. Dinner will be ready in a minute. In the meantime you can sit on the bed." Quatre said. He still hadn't got a table, or a couch for that matter. So Kyna sat on the bed. She looked around just for fun, and noticed a picture on his dresser she had never seen before. She got up and walked over to his dresser. She gasped when she saw the picture, it was the exact same picture of her and Quatre that she had.
"What, is there something wrong?" Quatre asked.
Kyna picked up the picture and turned around to look at "Rob". She looked at the picture of Quatre, and then at "Rob".
"Uh oh." Quatre said noticing that he had forgotten to hide the picture before he opened the door.
"You . . . you're. Quatre?" she finally managed to say. Tears began to fill her eyes, as she placed it back on the dresser.
"Kyna, before you say or do anything. . ." Quatre began to say.
"I missed you so much." Kyna said cutting of his sentence and running up to him and hugging him.
"You're not mad?" Quatre asked.
"No. I'm relived. I missed you so much. I'm so sorry for what I did." Kyna said looking up at Quatre.
"I missed you." Quatre said. They looked into each others eyes. Quatre leaned down and they kissed. A long loving kiss. One that was needed badly, for the both of them. They reluctantly parted after a while and looked at each other.
"You have no idea how much I've wanted to do that these past few months." Quatre said.
"I've wanted a kiss from you, for a long time." Kyna said. "I'm so happy you're here."
"I'm glad I don't have to hide my identity from you anymore. But you can't tell anyone else."
"I won't. I promise, just as long as you kiss me again." Kyna said. Quatre smiled and kissed her again. While they were kissing the alarm on the oven went off. Kyna and Quatre parted, and Quatre turned off the oven, and pulled out a pan of enchiladas.
"It's finished, but we have to let them cool. In the mean time, there's something I want to do for you." he walked over to his dresser where he opened the last drawer and pulled out a violin. "I want to play this song for you. Quatre placed the violin against his shoulder and began to play a song.
"That song. I know it." Kyna said smiling.
Quatre began to sing to the tune, "Love is real, real is love. Love is feeling, feeling love. Love is wanting to be loved."
Kyna began to sing along with him, "Love is touch, touch is love. Love is reaching, reaching love. Love is asking to be loved. Love is you, you and me. Love is knowing you can be." they stopped singing and Kyna listened to Quatre play, then they began to sing again, " Love is free, free is love. Love is living, living love. Love is needing to be loved. Love is you, you and me. Love is wanting to be free. Love is knowing, we will be." Quatre played the end of the song and his hands dropped.
"Oh Quatre. I love you so much." Kyna said, "When did you learn that?"
"I learned it the day you left the first time. I missed you, so I played the tape that you like so much, and when I heard that song, I listened to it again and again. And in time I had in memorized, and I learned how to play it on my violin after you left the second time." Quatre said.
"Oh, Quatre. Why did I ever leave you?" Kyna asked.
"I don't know." Quatre smiled, "Shall we eat?"
"Certainly." They sat down on the floor and began to eat. After they finished eating, they sat on Quatre's bed.
"You are so beautiful." Quatre said.
"Hey Quatre, do you remember that day when you asked me if you would ever see my hair down?" Kyna asked.
"Yes. And I still want to." Quatre said.
Kyna smiled. She grabbed her braid and pulled out her elastic. She unbraided her hair and shook her head so it would fall down around her face.
"You're even more beautiful this way." Quatre said. He began to stroke her hair, "It's so soft." he looked at her, "I love you Kyna." he said softly.
"I love you Quatre." Kyna said. They once again looked at each other and kissed. Quatre leaned Kyna back so that she was laying on the bed while they kissed. Then they parted and Quatre began kissing Kyna's neck. Then he went back up and kissed her on the lips.
While they were kissing, there was a knock on the door. They parted, and Quatre got up and went to the door. He opened the door, and there stood Kimerly.
"Hi, um, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you knew where Kyna was." Kimerly said.
"Well, um yeah. She's here." Quatre said.
"Oh, may I speak to her?" Kimerly asked.
"Yeah, come on it." Quatre said stepping aside.
Kyna who had noticed that it was Kimerly on the other side of the door began to braid her hair back up. "Hi Kim." Kyna said when Kimerly walked into the room.
"Hi Kyna. How come you're here?" Kimerly asked.
"Rob asked me if I wanted to eat dinner over here, and so that's what we were doing." Kyna said.
"It smells good in here." Kimerly said. "Um, well Dirake is asking for your presence."
"All right. Well I have to go. Thanks for dinner." Kyna said, she put her elastic back into her now braided hair, stood up, walked over to Quatre and hugged him, "I love you." she whispered.
"Kyna, we need to go, he wants you as soon as possible, it sounds kind of urgent." Kimerly said.
Kyna stopped hugging Quatre. "Bye." she said.
"Bye." Quatre said. Kyna and Kimerly walked out of the room and headed down to Dirakes office.
"You like Rob don't you?" Kimerly said.
"No, he's just a good friend." Kyna lied.
"Uh hu sure." Kimerly teased.
"Shut up. You're so wrong about us, were just friends." Kyna said.
"I know, I'm just teasing." Kimerly said.
"I know." Kyna said. They finally got to Dirake's office and Kyna knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Dirake asked.
"It's me Kyna, sir." Kyna said.
Dirake walked to the door and opened it. "Ah, thank you very much for finding her Lt. Doll. You may leave now." Dirake said.
"Thank you sir. Bye Kyna." Kimerly said, she turned and walked away.
"Kyna, please come in." Dirake said moving aside and ushering Kyna in. He shut the door after she walked in.
"So what's wrong? Kimerly said that you sounded like it was urgent." Kyna said.
"No, there's nothing wrong. I just need to tell you something." Dirake said walking up to Kyna.
"What's that?"
"Well, I'm not exactly sure how to tell you this."
"What?"
Dirake walked up to Kyna and kissed her on the lips. Kyna pushed him away from her.
"Sir I. . ." Kyna began to speak.
"Don't say anything. Look, I've fallen in love with you. You're just so beautiful, and talented, and you have such a great sense of humor. I've never done this before. I don't know why, but I did fall in love with you." Dirake said.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't be with you. My heart belongs to someone else. I'm sorry." Kyna said.
"Who?"
"Someone I've loved since before I came here."
"Oh. Well please, just kiss me once. That's all I ask, is for one kiss from you. Please."
"Sir, I . . . no I'm sorry." she turned and walked out of the room.
"Kyna." Dirake whispered.
Kyna walked down to Quatre's room and knocked on the door. Quatre opened it almost immediately.
"Hi." he said, he let her in. "So what did Dirake want?"
"Quatre, nobody can know about you and me. Not even as Rob."
"Why?"
"Because, Dirake is in love with me and if he finds out that it's you I love, he's sure to do something."
"Okay, I won't tell a soul."
"Thank you Quatre." Kyna yawned. "I'm going to go to bed. Good-night love." Kyna said walking up to Quatre, she gave him a good-night kiss and walked to the door.
"Good-night Kyna." Quatre said before she left.
Â
The next few weeks everything was the same. Kyna and Quatre kissed in private, but other than that they just acted like friends.
But somehow, someone found out about Quatre being a Gundam pilot and told Dirake.
So one night as Kyna was getting into bed, there was a knocking on the door.
"Hold on." Kyna said, she crawled out of bed and opened the door, "Hi Kim." she said when she saw who it was.
"Kyna, get dressed quickly and come to the courtyard. This is urgent." Kimerly said.
"Okay." Kyna said. She shut the door and got dressed in her Oz uniform. After she was finished she walked down to the courtyard. When she walked out the first thing she saw was, Quatre standing by a wall with his hands tied behind his back, and Dirake ten feet in front of him with a gun. "What's going on here?" Kyna asked scared.
"This guy is a traitor. And the one who stole you're heart away from me." Dirake said.
"No Dirake don't do this. Please I beg you." Tears began to form in her eyes and roll down her cheek.
"This is what happens to traitors." Dirake said, "Please stand behind the line over there." he pointed to a line. She went to the side line, and she was the closest to Quatre.
Kyna began to have flash backs of when her father was killed. "No not the same way." Kyna sobbed. "Not the same way my father died." She looked at Quatre.
"I love you Kyna." he said loud enough so that she could hear him.
"I love you too. Quatre." she sobbed. "Please Dirake, I beg you to reconsider. I will hate you forever if you do this. Please, please."
"No, he is a traitor, and so he must die." Dirake said. He lifted the gun and pulled the trigger.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Â
Â
What happens now? Does Quatre die, or will Kyna risk her own life to save his? I don't know, you tell me. Please review.
