The Vague Memories of a Lifetime.

Chapter 6

When Relena walked into the kitchen she found Quatre laughing profusely and Duo and Hilde blushing. If she hadn't been so upset she would have laughed with Quatre, but all she did was put on a fake smile. Quatre looked at her and saw through her.

"Relena, where's Odin?" Quatre asked, but just as he finished the sentence Odin walked reluctantly in. Relena nearly ran to the table and sat down beside Duo. Odin couldn't look at her. Duo could feel the tension between the two. What had just happened? Quatre came smiling over to Relena and bent to whisper in her ear; "You won't believe what I walked in on before you came in." she looked up at him and smiled.
"Promise to tell me later?" Relena asked in a whisper.

"Of course," Quatre smiled. Relena looked over at Hilde who was looking down and still blushing. Then she looked over at Odin who was still standing in the doorway. He was looking directly at her. She turned away as quickly as possible. She was thankful she was sitting by Duo. He had become more the big brother that was always around, unlike Millardo and Relena very sure Duo would protect her from Odin if necessary, but some how Relena liked how forceful Odin was. It reminded her of Heero. Oh how she missed him already. She repressed a weak cry and the tears that were threading to come.

"Why such a sad look?" Duo smiled. Relena looked up at him. How did he always know when she needed cheering up?

"I'm fine," Relena smiled and looked up. "I was just missing some one."

"Who?" Hilde asked.

"Oh, I don't know really. I think it's many people."

"Oh," Hilde nodded.

"Okay, you guys know I'm not that good of a cook, but here it is," Quatre said and sat down the first plate in front of Relena. There was a baloney and cheese sandwich on it. Relena suppressed a laugh. "Odin, why don't you come and sit down?" Quatre said and pulled the chair beside Relena back. Odin reluctantly came and sat down. Quatre went and got the other plates and sat them down in front of everyone. Each person had one sandwich, except Duo, who had five. Everyone watched in awe as Duo finished up his last sandwich. Odin leaned over to Relena.

"I'm sorry about what happened in the study," Odin whispered to Relena. Relena looked down at her empty plate.

"Lets just forget it ever happened," Relena replied. Odin nodded. Relena looked up at everyone. "I'm going for a walk. I'll be back in a little while." She stood and walked out the door to her garden. She stopped and looked at her favorite rose bush. It always reminded her of Heero, only having one bloom a year. She always clipped it when it did and put it in her room or sent it to Heero if she knew where he was at the time. She hadn't kept tabs on Heero in quite a while, so the rose had stayed in her room for three years now. Each one she had pressed and saved. Each one had been drenched with her tears at one time or another. Relena wondered if Heero ever saved the roses she sent to him. She gave a long sigh. She would never know now. Heero was dead and there was nothing left of him other than the body now owned by a man she didn't know. Her bottom lip quivered a bit. She walked on, to a corner where she sat as a child. She again sat, but this time she held a rose in her hand. The rose bush had bloomed one more rose that year. Relena felt completely hopeless. Even the rose bush knew Heero was dead. Relena could hold her tears no longer. She buried her face into her hands and cried.


Odin walked back to his room. He felt so guilty for what happened with Relena earlier. Once there he shut the door and prepared for a lonely night. He sat down in a chair that was companioned by a table. On the table was a laptop. Quatre told Odin that everything in that room that wasn't furniture was Heero's before the accident. Odin flipped the computer open and found the on switch. 'This must have clues on my life,' Odin thought. He swept through the files and read each one. He finally found a journal that had been kept since after colony 195. It was titled 'operation meteor.' Odin began reading.


My code name is Heero Yuy. I pilot the wing zero, but that may be subject to change as Dr. J builds better models. I will soon be heading to earth to pay a long awaited visit to OZ. My mission is to destroy OZ, but this will be more than just a mer mission assigned to me, but revenge. OZ killed my parents and my sister. This is going to be sweet. I will kill every one of them. Code name: Heero Yuy.


Odin leaned back in awe. OZ? It did sound familiar, but what of this killing Mother, Father, and Caroline? He hadn't thought of them until now. Where were they? Surely they weren't really dead... or were they? Odin needed answered. He continued reading.


I have not been able to write in this for some time. I was saved or doomed by a girl today. I washed up on shore after my first battle. It is rather pathetic. To be made a fool of by a mere girl, but she has seen my face and may know who I am she must be killed. I start at a privet school tomorrow, and then I will search for this girl. She looks so much like, no that girl died a long time ago... Anyway my next mission after getting rid of this girl is getting rid of my Gundam, which has fallen into the ocean and I'm sure OZ has already started a salvage operation. They must not get their hands on my Gundam. I have to destroy it and then kill myself.


All my missions have failed so far. Am I doomed to this always? The privet school I enrolled myself in happened to teach the girl I must kill. I was sat by her and have found that she is rather popular in the school. Her name is Relena Darilan. She gave me an invitation to her pathetic birthday party. I ripped it up. Since I found the girl I went on to my next mission. If I died she wouldn't have to, so I thought to spare her life for the time being. I headed to the cargo area of the ocean where she once again got in my way. She called to me and begged to know what I was doing. I turned with my gun ready to shoot her between the eyes. She gasped as I did this, but yet she stood. I by passed it and began pulling the trigger, but then I heard a different gun go off I turned just in time to see the bullet hit my arm. I released the gun and fell. I tried to go for my gun again, but this mystery man shot my leg and told me not to move, but before I could try for my gun again the girl, Relena, jumped in his line of fire and protected me. I don't understand why she did this. Females are very confusing creatures. The man other seemed to be confused too. I took this moment to finish the mission I set out for. I jumped on to some torpedoes I had stole to destroy my Gundam. I saw it coming out of the water, but there was another one with it. It belonged to the man who shot me. I hit the ignition on the torpedoes with me on them and they began their movement to my Gundam. I had lost too much blood and lost conciseness. I released the torpedoes and fell into the water. The next thing I remember is waking up in a hospital. I knew I was in an OZ hospital and that I had to get out, but how? I tried the straps, but they were strong. I was still bleeding, but that didn't matter at the time. Suddenly on the screen that same man came on. He began speaking to me and telling me he was going to rescue me. I turned my head not to make any acknowledgment that I knew anything of his plans or him. I waited for a moment as I freed myself from the strap on my right arm when the side of the wall blew up and there he stood, in all black with a Catholic collar on. He smiled at me. This annoyed me. He walked over to me and asked how to get me out of the straps. I pulled my bloody right hand up to him and asked him for his knife. He gave it to me in disgust. I released myself and he blew up the outer wall to the free fall to the beach. It was perfect. As far as I knew my Gundam was destroyed and all I had to do now was end my life. He handed me a parachute and we both jumped out. He had a hand held helicopter thing. I tried to enjoy my last moment by closing my eyes and felling the wind fly over me as he yelled in horror at me to release my parachute. I ignored him, but not her. Relena cried out my name and I did not know what came over me but by impulse I realized my parachute, but it was far too late and I hit the rocks hard. It was nothing too painful. I fell on the beach and stood back up just as he reached the ground. He yelled at me for trying to kill myself on his time and after he had used so much effort on getting me out of there. He helped me back to his home were I found my Gundam was not destroyed. So here I am. I have taken the parts that I need for repair from this guy's Gundam and I await day brake to leave. His name is Duo Maxwell. And my next mission is to kill Relena Darilan before she gets in my way again.


Odin looked at the screen in awe. Had he really done all that as Heero Yuy and was his family really dead? Odin wished he could just remember these things instead of just read about them. This was supposed to be his life not one that seemed like a story some one had wrote and Duo. That was Duo? He would have to thank Duo next time he saw him for his rescue and the parts, but for now Odin had to find Relena and tell her about what he had found and what she thought he should do. He stood up and headed to the door when another memory attacked him. He replayed everything that he had read in his mind. It was real now he had lived it. Fell over on his bed as he remembered the pain. He grabbed his head and began screaming, as the memories seemed to force their way into his mind. 'This is my mind!' A voice screamed at him.

"No," Odin whispered. "NO!" Relena followed by Duo, Quatre and Hilde ran in.

"Odin!" Relena cried and touched his shoulder.

"No! Odin's dead!" the man on the bed said. "No I'm right here! Leave me alone!" Relena jumped back. That first voice was lifeless and emotionless. That was Heero's voice, but the second was Odin's. What was happening to him? Duo ran over and grabbed the man. Relena heard the man say her name with the same lifeless tone before he passed out.

"Relena," Hilde whispered as Duo placed the limp man on the bed. "What just happened to him?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out..." Relena said and ran out of the room and down the stairs to her vid-phone. "Sally, I need you here. Please, It's Heero. I'm afraid there's something terrible wrong with him."

"I'll be there as soon as I can," the voice on the other line said.

"Thank you," Relena sighed and turned the machine off. "So," Relena whispered. "You're still alive Heero...But what's going on in your mind?"
