The Sea Child
Part 4







10 years later


Cloudy blue/violet eyes stared out at the ocean with sadness. His hair blew in the wind hitting his pale face. The black clad boy sunk to the sand and pulled his legs to his chest. A single tear fell down his pink cheek leaving a cool trail behind. With one flick of the wrist he swiped the tear away and stared at it as it fell down his hand onto his arm. The little speck would do nothing to bring him out of his slump, which always came this time of year. Every year Duo would return to this spot, and just stare endless hours at the clear, blue waters. Past memories and promises always drove Duo to come back to this place. The longhaired boy never forgot his old friend and was never going to give up on finding him. /I will find you Hechin. You promised me you would come back, you will, I know you will./ Duo's face became tear stained as the memories of his first friend came back to him in.

A sweet song came brushing in his ears as the water filled pilot stared at the water. Day was turning to night but for some strange reason, Duo couldn't make himself move from the now cool sand. All around him people started to stray off and leave except him. Closing his eyes, the Deathscythe pilot lay back placing his finger behind his head and let the waves crashing into the shore lull him into a light slumber.


^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v


"So, I guess this is goodbye." Hechin said sadly.

"Yeah, are you going to be here tomorrow, cause my family is on vacation for the whole week so we'll probably be here most of the time." Duo and Hechin's eyes sparkled with hope.

"Sure." Hechin said ecstatically.

"Great, I'll see ya tomorrow, bye." Duo said, as he ran off to his mother and father.

"Bye." He said softly.


^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v


Duo woke up with a start, as beads of sweat fell down his face. Bringing a hand to his face he wiped the offending water off and frowned. The braided boy could remember that day like it just happened. He was so happy to finally find someone who could keep up with him. /Even though I did most of the talking./ Duo laughed at that.

"DUOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" A blonde boy screamed out while trudging through the sand.

"Over here." Duo turned around and smiled as he saw Quatre curse and kick the sand trying to make his way over.

"Finally." The blue/green-eyed boy fell to the ground trying to catch his breath.

"What's up Q?" Duo grinned at his friend's antics.

"Huh?… Oh yeah, I came to tell you that the new pilot will be arriving soon." Quatre took his boots off and dumped the sand out of them, scowling.

"Oh!" Duo turned his gaze back to the water as the sun started to hide behind the horizon.

Quatre glanced over at his friend and frowned himself. Duo was always the happy one of the bunch. Sort of the comic relief, in a ways. With the war going on, they all needed cheering up… but with him so down, the others attitudes were sure to follow. Shaking his head, the pilot of Sandrock place and hand on his friend's shoulder.

"What's wrong Duo?" Quatre smiled a tad.

"Nothin… I was just thinking, that's all." Duo looked at him for a second and then back at the ocean.

"And what about?" He pried trying to get the other to talk.

"Just remembering the past. So when is the new guy gonna be here?" The braided one changed the topic.

"He should be here any minute." Quatre stood up wiping the sand off himself. "Come on lets go meet him, eh?"

"K" Duo stood up and walked besides the Arab back to their current safe house.

A boy about the age of 15 stood outside the door of his new place of residence. His short messy hair swayed in the wind, covering his pointy ears in just the right way. Icy blue orbs glowed a tad and then stopped as he scanned the area.

The breeze picked up and sent shivers down his spine as it seemed to whisper in his ears. For the first time in 10 years, Heero felt at peace. He couldn't explain it, but it felt right. Glancing around him, he found what was calling him. There deep on the other side of this house was the most glorious site he's ever seen. Dropping his bad, Heero raced to the sea, discarding clothes as he went. Running at full speed the boy jumped into the ocean embrace, and felt at home. Forgetting all about his problems, the boy swam for hours on end, letting the cool water take him home once again.

Finally, feeling he needed to get to work Heero stepped out of the water butt naked and blushed a bit. Closing his eyes, he shone a bright blue for a second and then was clad in his usual green tank top and spandex. Sitting down on the plush sand, letting his fingers and toes dig deep in the earth, Heero stared unblinking at the site before him. /Why does this place seem so familiar?/ He bowed his head, closing his eyes.

Suddenly, hearing a noise behind him, Heero stirred around and stared right into deep blue/violet eyes. Releasing a gasp, he backed away from the other and stood up. Scrunching his eyes and raising an eyebrow. /Duo?/


TBC…


Ahh, that sucked, but it's the next part. ^_^
