Chapter 2 - Let the Fun Begin
Duo had a look of utter shock written all over his face as he saw Hiiro carry my bag up the stairs to a vacant room, all the while, he was discussing our mission with me.
"Well, that's a change. Two "Perfect Soldiers" under one roof and they have to work together. Lets just hope she's not as trigger happy as Hiiro is." Duo said, sighing.
"Hiiro, will you look at this mecha for me? I'm sure you'll be quite impressed." I said once I had my things in a room right next to Hiiro. He walked to the desk where I had set up my laptop and watched over my shoulder as I accessed a locked file. Soon information flooded the screen. "As you can see, this suit is a combination of Dethscythe Hell Custom, Wing Zero Custom, Heavyarms Custom, Sandrock Custom, and Nataku." I continued as the listings of my Gundam popped onto the screen and stayed there.
Mecha:
Gundam Chaos Custom

Model number: XXXG-06C2
Head height: 16.7

"Hm. That's an awful lot of armament for such a light Gundam. What makes it light?" Hiiro asked.
"The crystal. The wings, eyes, and handle of the saber and trident are made up of unbreakable crystal. Only self-destruct will break it." I replied looking up at the face of the soldier. For the first time, I saw the look of surprise on his face.
"Who's Gundam is it?" He asked me. Now it was my turn to be the mysterious one.
"If you're half as a 'perfect soldier' as they say you are, you should already know who's it is." I replied as I took the information off the screen and tapped into the database of the school that the other pilots attended. I hacked the student system and made myself a new student.
"Hm. Where did you get it?" I heard Hiiro ask from the other side of the room. I finished my little hacking escapade and turned around to face him.
"My uncle. The head of my headquarters. After my parents, he saw me as a valuable possession and *tired* to make me into a totally emotionless creature, much like yourself in the beginning, but then I realized that I wanted to be my own person. Chaos showed me that." I replied. I felt comfortable talking to Hiiro, he had had much of the same type of past as I.
"What do you mean by, 'after my parents'?" He asked, crossing his arms across his chest.
I looked down, then back up, my eyes showing just a tad bit of pain. "What I meant is that my parents were killed. I'm an orphan." I replied.
"Gomen." He said quietly causing me to look up at him in surprise. I smiled a faint smile.
"Arigatoo." I said nodding. "I'm going to take a shower now, I will discuss the mission with you again tomorrow?" I asked as more of a statement then a question. Hiiro nodded and left my room. I watched him leave, I didn't need a shower, and I'd just said that so I could have some time alone to think. I changed into my tee shirt and shorts again and curled up under my covers to sleep... and think. 'Hm. This is an odd mission for Uncle to give me. I wonder what possessed him to put the two so-called 'perfect soldiers' together for this. Kuso, I hope Chaos is alright.' I thought as I slowly drifted into sleep.
~Hiiros dream~
"No! KUSO!" Hiiro screams as the mobile suits fall on the apartment building. 'That was not supposed to happen.' He thought as he sifted threw the ruble trying to find anyone that was alive. Alls he found was the little girls puppy. "No! This can't be happening! I WANT TO WAKE UP!" Hiiro screamed out loud again.
~End Hiiro dream~
"Huh?" I woke up to the sound of faint yelling from Hiiros room. "That's odd." I said to myself as I got up and cautiously opened my door and walked the few feet to his room. Knocking on the door I whispered, "Hiiro? Are you okay?" When I got no answer I got just a little worried, people our age did not just scream in their sleep without reason. I turned the knob and walked in to see him thrashing in his bed mumbling something about how he wanted to wake up and that his mission had failed. "Hiiro?" I asked again when I was right next to his bed.
"No." I heard him whisper, then he suddenly sat up, a cold sweat on his face.
"Hiiro, are you okay?" I asked again, not trying to conceal the concern on my face.
"It... was so real..." He said in a shocked state.
"Shh... it's okay, Hiiro, it was just a bad dream." I whispered to him. Now he finally realized that I was in the room.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked me with an annoyed tone.
"Hey, don't take that tone with me." I said narrowing my eyes at him, "I came in here because you were yelling in you sleep. You were having a bad dream and I was concerned, is that such a bad thing for me to act like that when my friend is yelling in his sleep?"
"I was yelling?" He countered, totally dismissing the whole 'friend' thing.
"Hai. Now, go back to sleep, I'll stay right here and wake you up again if you start with the bad dream." I said to him as I kneeled down next to the head of his bed.
"No." He started, giving me that 'look.' I gave him the same look.
"Don't make me act like a girl and get all you-know-what-y(bitch-y :)) on you. Now, get some sleep." I ordered. He gave me a quizzical look but lay his head back on the pillows. 'Hm. Why would he be having a bad dream?... Maybe I'll do what my mother did for me when I was having a bad dream... sing.' I nodded to myself and placed a hand on the edge of his bed and stated to sing.
"One day the whole world looks like an open page
And you've been dancing as fast as you can
With a smile on your face
And then the Earth and the sky they all fit together
And carry me away as light as a feather
Chase the clouds from the ground in the big, blue sky
Don't wanna watch it all go by
So I'm gonna fly
Higher then I ever could
Feel the wind blow threw my hair
Feel the sun dance with the moon
And my feet can't stay on the ground any longer
With every leap of faith I feel a little stronger
Wanna swing from a star
In the big blue sky
Don't wanna watch it all go by
So I'm gonna fly
And see for myself what it looks like from up there
And taste the stardust in my mouth
Chase the clouds until they disappear
And my feet can't stay on the ground any longer
With every leap of faith I feel a little stronger
Don't wanna swing from a star
In the blue sky
Don't wanna watch it all go by
So I'm gonna fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Higher then I ever, ever could
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly
Higher then I ever, ever could
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly."
I looked at Hiiros face and saw him sleeping contently, I smiled, "Good night, Hiiro." I whispered as I lay my head at the edge of his. I was going to stay in there all night like I had promised. I felt a hand then grasp mine and I knew it was Hiiros.
"Good night, Usa." He said quietly as we both feel asleep again.
