Dedication: To....you; the reader and the reviewer....
**Summary: Alrighty, if you want to go on ahead, I suggest you take a little bit of time to read this, since I didn't feel like posting it out there. What you're about to read doesn't exactly follow the series; GundamWing. They all dont know that each other exsist except for the following people: All 5 GW pilots know each other. They've already met. Relena Peacecraft and Zechz know about being related. The GW pilots also know Sally and Lady Une, but not Noin. Noin knows Lady Une and Major Sally.....but basically I've split them into little groups....if you understand what was just said...*chuckles*. And this story takes place about three years after Endless Waltz....but they never met. I know this sounds...queer, but it adds to the plot I've cooked up...hhehe
The rest of the story has a weird and mysterious twist to it, that I'm sure you'll enjoy. My goal for this fic, since it's my first GundamWing one, is to get at least 50 reviews...so please do be kind in helping and also honest....leave me a review on what you thought. I can take critism, but only if it's minor and not like some major dissing....ya know?
I hope you enjoy this, cuz I enjoyed thinking about it and then having to type it all out..

~**~Truth or Consequences~**~
~**~Prologue~**~
~**~The child of fate~**~
The moon was full, high, and bright as the dark, full clouds rolled into the sky, to bunch together like packed sardines. There was a low rumbling far off in the distance that slowly made it's way towards the lit and bustling city. Soon rain began to beat down from the clouds overhead, soaking everything and everyone in it's way.
The small child suddenly let out a frightened wail as bright lightning filled the sky and the hooded figure looked down. A sad smile slid onto it's lips and the baby wailed again. The hooded figure reached out with a tattooed hand and gently brushed aside some of it's dark brown curls from it's eyes.
The baby cooed and then reached up to grasp the hooded figure's finger in it's tiny grasp. The hooded figure shook her head and blinked back the sudden tears that flooded her pale blue eyes, " I'm sorry little one. There's nothing I can do for you.....you have to go or you'll endanger us all. ", she whispered lightly as she began to run down the alley, clutching the babe to her chest.
' What will I tell him? How will I tell him? ', she thought as she ran, blinded by tears and by the rain.
The baby peered up at her with intense dark blue eyes. Arilyn Benton sniffled lightly as she continued to run, " I have to do this Corey...I'm sorry... ", she spoke to the child as she ran. " I don't think I would want your future to be ruined if you stayed with us any longer....your future already speaks for itself, with the tattoo on your right palm, I'm sure anyone would recognize you right off the hop. You'd be the death of the world. "
The baby giggled as if he thought what she just said was humoring to him. She sighed and continued to run. She passed a corner and then caught her leg on something hard. There was the snap of bone, followed by a cry of pain and then a thud on the ground as Arilyn swiftly twisted her body around so she would land on her back, cushioning the fall for her child.
She grimaced deeply as the back of her head connected with the hard pavement and then bounced off, only to repeat it again. She laid there for a few moments, with her mouth open in surprise and her eyes open, staring up at the dark sky. She blinked and felt a cool breeze caress her right cheek. She shook her head and swallowed thickly as she sat up slowly, " It has come...no. ", she whispered hoarsely. " No! You can't have the child...my child... "
Corey giggled and then let out a wail as he felt the rain pelt down onto his small, chubby face. Arilyn reached down and refixed the tiny hood onto his head. Her head shot up and she scanned the darkened alley. Seeing no one of any threat, she backed up against a brick wall and then slowly made her way by using the wall for support.
But why did it feel like there was someone there, watching her from the shadows. Staring at her as she tried to protect her baby; the child of fate, from the one who end up using him for the wrong thing.
' Fate can be so cruel to one little child....', she thought in bitterness.
She peered down at her now broken leg and winced as she rested her foot on the ground. Pain shot up her leg and through her body, straight to her head. Spots of different colours danced in front of her eyes and she shook her head to clear it. She bit her lip against the pain in her leg and she began to hobble towards the bright lit building across the alley.
Corey began to whine lightly and she tried to rock him gently, but it was no use. Corey was hungry. After his birth she had to get him and herself out of there before anyone knew that she had had him. His father, Daniel, was out searching for them right now, but she didn't care. She had to follow her instincts on this one. She had to make such that Corey made it out alive.
If Daniel had gotten ahold of Corey, who knows what he would do. Corey was the key to fate and always would be, for as long as he was alive. Arilyn whimpered slightly as she applied more weight to her leg. Corey was strangely silent in her arms and she peered down at him to find him asleep. She smiled lightly and then cradled him to her.
Knowing this would be the very last time she would ever hold something as precious as him to her body.
' Only he can fix it all, make it all right. He has to stay hidden for as long as he has too...if Daniel got ahold of him...', she shuddered. ' then he'd use Corey to fufill fate's request.... '
She shook her head hard and then shifted Corey to the side of her other arm. With her free arm she rapped on the large metal door loudly. Corey didn't awaken and she sighed lightly. She blinked and suddenly felt her eyes drooping. The door swung open and a short man with pure white medium length hair that was slicked back stood there looking at her.
His round little black goggles reflected the light from the inside and he frowned deeply as he peered at her, " Arilyn! What brings you here? ", he asked as he ushered her into the main hall.
Arilyn smiled weakly at him and blinked, trying to force her eyes open, but it was no use. She thrusted Corey into Dr. J's arms just before her eyes rolled into her head and she fell to the ground. J blinked down at the sleeping bundle in his arms to find a little boy about the age of two months with curly dark brown hair.
He looked down at the woman on the ground and shook his head sadly, " I will look after him for you Arilyn...he'll grow up to become a Gundam Pilot. I'm not sure what we will call him though....but I'm sure you have a reason for bringing him to me like this....", he wondered out loud as he reached down and lifted up Corey's small right hand.
He flipped it over and uncurled the small fingers slowly to reveal the tattoo. His eyes went wide and he stood there speechless. A servant with brown hair that was pulled back in a tight bun looked at him and then at the woman.
She gasped and rushed over to her. J shook his head, finding his voice again he stuttered, " S-she's gone...."
The woman looked at him, " Are you sure? "
He nodded, " Yeah....she brought someone to me. I owed her a favor...well, a big one..."
She walked over to him and peered down at the bundle in his arms, " What's that? "
" Her baby. But she never told me his name, so.....I'm a little stumped on names... "
She giggled lightly and reached out to finger the little brow curls. She cocked her head to the side as if completely lost in the child's face, " How about...Tyler..Tyler O'Donnell ...? "
He lifted an eyebrow and then nodded, " Well thought of, Mindy...."
She beamed, " Thank you, Dr. J....."
' So the child of fate is now called Tyler O'Donnell ....rather strange combination if you ask me....', he thought to himself as he turned and left Mindy standing there looking down at Arilyn's body. ' The tattoo....his mother has the same one, on the same hand....'
Mindy looked down at Arilyn's body and then took off to go and call the morgue, so they could come and pick up her body.......
(A/N** I know this is confusing peeps. This confusing for me too. I hope you guys liked. And please leave a review after you're done reading. I'd really like to hear what you thought. There will be lotz more coming and it'll be damn good too....I promise)
~**~Chapter 1~**~
~**~You shouldn't run...one of these days it's going to kill you~**~
Duo Maxwell frowned deeply as he watched his 'new' friend with dark brown hair and intense dark Cobalt eyes paced the ground in front of him, " Hey, why don't you just sit down or something. You're making me nervous with your pacing and stuff....."
Tyler O'Donnell's head swung in his direction and he bit his lip, " Sorry....", he muttered as he slowly made his way to his bed on the other side of the room. " I was....just a little distracted by something..."
Duo nodded, " I see...like what? ", he asked as he leaned forward.
Tyler shrugged lightly and looked down at the ground through the crack between his legs, " Nothing really, just about some dream that I'm always having...."
Duo lifted a dark brow and then brushed his bangs away from his dark navy blue eyes, " What kind of dream? Something like a X-rated one? ", he joked lightly.
Tyler frowned deeply, " No. It's always repeating itself...I've been having for...only god remember's how long. It's just about the same thing over and over. I don't understand any of it either...."
' This is weird....he'd usual snap at me or shoot one of his death glares if I ever asked him about his dreams of about his life... ', Duo nodded and scratched his chin as he studied his friend, " I see...would you care to, uh...share?"
Tyler's head shot up and he looked at him, " I....sure. Well, everytime I wait till you're asleep and also the others. Then I end up falling asleep. But...as soon as I close my eyes, I see this bright light flashing before my eyes and then I see a figure in the far distance. The body is...slender and slim like a female's....it has long hair that sways in the light breeze that's always caressing my cheek. ", he shook his head. " I slowly begin to run towards the figure, but as soon as I start running, the figure suddenly seems to be getting farther and farther from me. It's like it's running from me, but it isn't. It just stands there, brushing it's hair from it's face. I decide to stop because I'm starting to realize that it's useless chasing so I plop down onto the ground, breathless and sweaty. Suddenly there's a voice behind me that says this, ' So, you've decided to run from your fate? That's not a wise choice young one, not a wise choice at all....' I don't undestand what it means, so I turn around, hoping to catch a glimpse of who was speaking to me. ", he paused.
Duo watched him as he took a breath, " And? Who do you see? "
Tyler looked down at the ground, " I see who I was chasing....it's a young woman with long sandy brown hair and bangs. She peers down at me with...mysterious light blue eyes. Her full lips slightly parted as she crouches down and looks at me. I find that I can't speak and can't move. All I can do is inhale her scent of roses....she...leans in towards me and her soft lips brush against me cheek. She pulls away and looks at me, then she shakes her head, saying, ' You shouldn't run....one of these day's, it's going to kill you. ' "
Duo got off the bed and walked over to the large window with his arms crossed over his chest, " And have you been running from...this fate? "
Tyler got off the bed and followed him to the window. He stood beside him and watched as some girls walked down the street arm in arm, laughing at something, " I...I don't know. How am I suppose to know? When will I know? "
Duo was silent and then he turned to look at Tyler's confused expression, " I'm sorry to hear about your father...."
Tyler swallowed thickly, " Dr. J was like a father to me, but he was only a legal guardian to me...something like a foster dad.....it's alright. "
Duo nodded and then turned to look outside. He spotted Wufei Chang(I got it wrong, I know...don't flame be on it either....) and Trowa Barton stepping out of a limousine and making their ways towards the front doors of the private school.
Tyler frowned deeply and then scratched his chin, " Why they here? "
Duo shrugged, " I don't know. That's why we go and greet them, unless you just want to wait here for them..."
" I'd rather wait here for them..... ", Tyler replied softly.
' Man, this is freaking me out! ', Duo nodded, " Hey, it'll be alright. We'll figure out what this dream of yours means..."
Tyler shook his head, " It's not that that's bugging me at the moment..."
Duo lifted and eyebrow, " Then what is? ", he asked.
Tyler bit his lip and turned his head to the side, " I...there's something about that girl in my dreams. I don't know how to explain it, but....it's like we're going to..."
Duo chuckled suddenly and Tyler looked at him, " Tyler, Tyler, Tyler...", he muttered as he shook his head.
Tyler knitted his brows together, " What? "
" N-nothing...just a thought that came into my head...continue anyway..."
Tyler nodded, " Well...like I was saying, it's like we're going to meet sometime...I don't know when though. But it felt like I've already met her....."
There was a knock at the door and Duo went to go answer it, " It's probably them now...", he said over his shoulder as he reached out and twisted the knob.
He pulled open the door and then muttered loudly, " Or, probably not...."
Tyler frowned, " Who is it? "
Duo chuckled nervously, " Take a wild guess...."
Tyler shrugged, " I can't....."
Duo opened the door all the way and the girl from his dream stood there, with her hands clasped around her strapless purse, in front of her short black dress. She looked at Tyler with her blue eyes and smiled lightly, " I was sent here to talk to a...Heero Yuy....", she told him from the doorway, staring at Tyler the entire time.
**********************************************************************************************
Duo shot Tyler a look and mouthed, ' What's going on? How does she know? '
' What the hell....', Tyler shrugged, blinked and then shook his head to clear it, " I'm...Heero Yuy. Why? Who sent you? "
She stepped into the room, " Mr. Richards, the head principal....", she replied curtly.
He nodded and looked at Duo, " Duo... "
Duo frowned deeply and then winked at him as he made his way to the door, " I'm going, I'm going...."
Tyler nodded his thanks and waited till Duo was out of the room before he looked directly at the girl, ' She has to be about my age...eighteen...very pretty too. What the hell am I thinking....'
Relena studied Tyler's expressionless face and then cleared her throat as she slowly opened her purse, " Heero Yuy...I was sent here to talk to you about.... ", she grasped the handle of the gun tightly before letting her purse fall to the ground. Bringing out the gun, she pointed it at him. " your fate. "
Tyler blinked hard and froze, " My f-fate? What the hell about it? ", he demanded.
' This isn't right.... ', The right side of her lips curled up, " What about it? I don't know exactly.....all I know is that I want you to stop haunting my dreams, Heero Yuy. "
" Your dreams? Maybe you should stop haunting mine...", he retorted harshly. " And don't call me Heero Yuy... "
She flinched and shook her head, " You're the one who should stop haunting me...", tears slowly filled her eyes. " I can't sleep anymore without dreaming about you...."
He narrowed his eyes and then crouched down close to the ground. Relena followed him with her eyes and lowered the gun to his level. He shook his head and then cried out as he lunged for her bare legs, " You think a gun's going to stop me? "
She blinked and went to pull the trigger, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Tyler's arms went around her thighs as he tackled her and she fell to the ground with him on top of her. He quickly climbed onto her, straddling her hips, he grabbed her wrists and brought her arms above her head.
She swallowed thickly and looked up at him. The gun fell from her hand to lay of the ground beside her captured hands.Tyler looked down at her and then shook his head, " Now...tell me who really sent you. ", he said in a low, dangerous voice.
She shook her head, " I swore not to tell a soul....", she protested weakly as tears brimmed her eyes.
He snorted and shot her his death glare as he grinded his hips down onto hers. She felt a bulge in his pants and began to squirm under him, " Tell me! ", he demanded.
She tightened her lips into a straight thin line, " And if I don't? "
He stared at her, completely dumbstruck. She has placed him in a postion where he was...speechless. He didn't know how to answer that question. What was he going to say? That he'd rip her dress off and fuck her brains out? He sighed lightly and then bent down towards her, " I don't know what I'd do with you..."
She blinked as she stared into his dark blue eyes. She remembered the kiss on the cheek she would give him and then turned her head to the side. Tyler looked down at her strong jawline and slender neck before lowering his mouth to seek out where her pulse was located.
When his seeking lips found it, he felt it jump as he began to nip gently and plant soft kisses on the soft skin. Relena swallowed and then sharply brought her head around so she was looking at the ceiling and Tyler's mouth found hers. Tyler pushed his hips down onto hers and heard a stifled moan against his mouth.
Relena's skirt was hiked up past her thighs as Tyler sat on it by accident when he straddled her. Tyler parted her lips with his tongue and then invaded her warm mouth, probing and proding at her tongue with his, as he felt around her mouth.
Relena turned her head to the side and whispered, slightly breathless, " C-could you let my arms go...they're kind of going numb...."
Tyler looked up at them and blushed very, very lightly ," I'm sorry....", he muttered as he realeased her arms and rested his hands on the ground. He looked down at her and then shook his head, ' Was this planned? Just like the accident was....or the dreams? ', he wondered as his gaze washed over the side of her face and neck.
Relena felt his eyes on her and she brought her head around again, her gaze meeting his. She suddenly chuckled, " Are you going to get off of me? Or are you going to tease me all day with your...your...thing pressed against me? "
He blinked and then silently stood up and moved away from her.
Relena looked down and saw that he had hiked up her skirt to the start of her underwear. She frowned deeply and blushed as she reached out to push down the fabric. She stood up slowly and smoothed out the wrinkles in the skirt, muttering to herself, " I can't keep losing self control like this....why do I always do that? "
" Do what? ",Tyler asked from the large bed he now sat on.
She looked up at him and shook her head, " N-nothing. I was just thinking outloud...that's all...", she replied quietly as she walked over to the bed and sat down beside him.
He nodded and remained silent. Relena watched him from the corner of her eye, " Heero? Why do you haunt my dreams? "
" I...it's you who haunts my dreams... ", he answered lightly. " And don't call me Heero.... "
She bit her lip and scratched her head, " But....I don't understand what's happening. What's wrong with that name?"
He shrugged, " I...it just brings back bad memories of the...accident. Only my closet friends call me by that name..."
" I know it's your code name...Tyler O'Donnell....."
" But how? Who told you? "
She remained silent as she stared off in some other world. Tyler looked at her face from the side and leaned over, placing his mouth to her ear, and then whispering huskily, almost as if threatening her, " You had better tell me...innocence is such a precious thing to lose, don't you think? "
She blinked hard and quickly turned her head to the side to look at him, but her lips ended up brushing against his. She didn't know what happened next. Neither did he. Relena made a move to stand up but Tyler grabbed her arms and pushed her back onto the bed. She tried to back away from him, but he held her captivated with his lips.
Tyler didn't believe what was going on. He just couldn't. He didn't even know the girl and he was already kissing her with all the passion that he pocessed. The thing that nagged at him the most was, why is she going along with it? She hasn't given him any sign of her not wanting him to touch her or kiss her....
Relena sighed lightly against his lips and then pulled away. She watched as Tyler slowly lifted his weight off of her somewhat. He looked down at her and cocked his head to the side, " What's wrong? ", he asked gruffly.
She shook her head and closed her eyes, leaning her head back into the pillows, " I...nothing. You just have me wondering, that's all..."
He frowned, " I have you wondering? You have ME wondering. I've dreamt about you since I don't know and here you are now.... ", he bit his lip and whispered as he lowered his mouth to her exposed neck. " What are you doing to me? "
She couldn't take it anymore. Her arms went around him and she pulled him down to her. Burying her face into his shoulder, she began to cry. Tyler's arms slid underneath her slim figure and he flipped onto his back. Relena laid on top of him, with her ear pressed to his chest, listening to the steady thump-thump of his strong heartbeat.
Tyler reached up and softly stroked her long tresses of honey gold, while she cried softly. They laid there for about five minutes in silence, just listening to the sounds from outside of the dorm room. Relena sniffled lightly and Tyler cleared his throat, " So...would you mind telling me why you...broke down there for a moment? "
" Aren't I heavy? ", was all she said.
Tyler frowned deeply, " No...not at all, but you just dodged my question.... "
She nodded, " I know...I just don't want to talk about it. It feels like I've known you all my life, Heero....I don't understand why you haunted my dreams and I yours....."
" Do you remember telling me something about fate? "
She sucked in a sharp breath and lifted her head to look at him, " I, yes...I remember saying something like that.. "
" Okay. Can you remember what you were thinking when you said it to me? "
Her eyes left his face to gaze at his Adam's apple that bobbed up and then down as he swallowed, " I.... ", she stopped and then laid her head back on his chest.
" You what? Can't remember...? "
She shook her head, " No, I can remember...."
" Then what is it? What are you trying to hide from me? "
She sighed heavily, " Alright...I'll tell you. You aren't going to like it though. When I walk up to you and say the thing about your fate, I'm thinking that I should....kill you...... "
*****************************************************************************************
Milliardo looked up at his wife, Noin. He frowned deeply as he listened in on the conversation that was going on between his baby sister and between Heero Yuy. Noin noticed his reaction to what was just heard and she bit her lip hard, " Milliardo...I think that she's just a -- "
" Cut it out! ", he snapped. His blue eyes blazing as he turned to look at her. " You know as much as I do about her dreams, but she never told us about this..... "
She nodded, " I know, I know. You don't have to get so uptight about it. I'm sure she was going to tell us in good time....we just needed to give her time. "
Milliardo sighed heavily as he leaned forward on his desk and placed his head in his hands, " I just don't understand it. Daniel Benton is offering us...peace for the entire world and the colonies if we give him Heero Yuy in return....just Heero Yuy.... "
Noin nodded again and remain silent as she watched her husband from across the room, ' He's just worried about her, that's all. What'll happen if we really do turn Heero Yuy into the Benton foundation? Will he keep his world and give us peace? Does he hold the power to do that? '
Milliardo looked up at the sound of her voice, " Did you just say something? What do you mean ' does he hold the power to do that? ' What's that suppose to mean? "
She blinked hard and stared at him, " Huh? Did I say that outloud? "
He nodded, " Mmm-hmm. Now, tell me what you meant... "
" I meant...that if we turn Heero Yuy over to the Benton foundation will he keep his promise in giving us peace? Does he have the power alone to do it? "
He shrugged, " I...I'm not sure, Noin. "
" And if we don't turn Heero Yuy into them, what will they do? "
" Probably declare a war against the Cinq Kingdom and that'll be it unless some miracle happens by chance... "
Noin sighed heavily and looked over at Milliardo, " How's Relena doing? "
" She's still a little upset at the news of her foster father dying, but I'm sure she'll be alright. She's a strong girl....just like her mother was... "
Noin cocked her head to the side and watched him, " What about you? How are you taking this? I mean with having to send Relena out to this...I mean, this isn't like her and it isn't like you to put your baby sister in the line of danger.... "
Milliardo sighed and scratched his chin, " Well, I'm not at all happy about letting her do it, but you heard what Daniel said...he know's his son's weaknesses. He was the one who suggested that Relena go. ", he growled through clenched teeth. " I don't approve of the idea myself. What if he's holding a gun to her head as we speak? What if this Heero Yuy is dumping her body into the river.... "
Noin chuckled. She stood up and walked over to the desk. She reached out and placed a light hand on his bare shoulder, " It'll be alright. She'll be alright. If she doesn't come back alive, then you can...go and kill Benton and his son personally. Trust me Milliardo...everything will work out. Remember she is of royalty....as you are... "
He nodded, " I know. I know. I just still don't feel right having sent her down there to do MY dirty work. If I had known that she was to do what she was doing then I would've gone and done it myself.... "
Noin smiled and gently rubbed his back, " Please....try to get some rest. I know you're worrying, so am I, but we need rest to confront Benton and his croonies tomorrow. Alright? Will you listen to me? "
Milliardo looked over at her and then chuckled loudly, " Of course I'll listen to you. When don't I? ", he reached his arm over and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her against him. " Don't you worry....I'll take care of us all, weither it means having to sacrifice myself in the process.... "
*****************************************************************************************************
Duo frowned deeply as he looked at Trowa Barton fixing his tux, " What's with the tux, Trowa? "
Trowa looked at him with a somber expression on his face, " We're going out tonight. Some big banquet thing with Quartre. We were wondering if you and Heero would like to come? "
Wufei looked over at him and nodded, " Yes.... "
Duo bit his lip and then reached behind his neck, scratching it he grinned, " Sure! I'd be happy to get out of that damn dorm room. Heero would like that too...I hope. He's probably in some really grouchy mood though... "
Trowa lifted an eyebrow, " When isn't he grouchy? "
Duo frowned, " You know what, Trowa? You're right....today is the only time that I've seen him...not acting like himself. He's all cheery today and I don't know why...unless he knew about that girl... "
" What girl? ", Wufei demanded from beside Trowa as he fixed his shirt.
" Uh....some girl that he claims to have seen from his dreams.... "
Wufei snorted and then waved a hand through the air, " Girls are weak and pathetic. I don't see why he's so hung over her if she's just going to get in the way of his missions... "
Duo lifted an eyebrow, " Pathetic, huh? ", he shook his head. " I think I should tell Sally about this one.... "
Wufei's head shot up and he glared at Duo, " You'll keep your mouth shut, Duo... "
Duo frowned, " Whatever.... "
Trowa watched them both and then glaced up at Duo and Heero's dorm window to find Heero himself staring down at them. Trowa nodded but Heero didn't nod back. He just glared at him for some unknown reason. Trowa frowned and then turned his attention back to Duo.
" And then...he's telling me about how she tell's him that he's going to get himself killed one of these days.... ", Duo rambled on.
Trowa studied Duo, " Killed? From what? "
" Running from his fate... "
" Fate? ", Wufei asked.
Duo nodded, " I wasn't told the whole story...some girl came to the door looking for him. She even knew his code name which only the five of us do.... "
Wufei and Trowa stood there, speechless, and staring. Duo frowned, " What? "
" She's a spy! ", Wufei cried.
(A/N** There!! I finished it for you.....and here's a little note for you who think that there's going to be a "Sixth Gundam pilot"....there is NOT and I repeat, is NOT going to be a " sixth gundam pilot ". I think it's stupid...no offense to those of you who love writing about this...." Sixh Gundam Pilot ". There is just a little bit of a OOC change thingy, but I'm fixing that now...don't worry you Heero Yuy lovers, I'll make him the cold hearted bastard that he really is, just for you...*grins* Though I'm going to make him a little emotional at times, as well...be prepare...that is all....^.~ )

~**~Truth or Consequences~**~
~**~Prologue~**~
~**~The child of fate~**~
The moon was full, high, and bright as the dark, full clouds rolled into the sky, to bunch together like packed sardines. There was a low rumbling far off in the distance that slowly made it's way towards the lit and bustling city. Soon rain began to beat down from the clouds overhead, soaking everything and everyone in it's way.
The small child suddenly let out a frightened wail as bright lightning filled the sky and the hooded figure looked down. A sad smile slid onto it's lips and the baby wailed again. The hooded figure reached out with a tattooed hand and gently brushed aside some of it's dark brown curls from it's eyes.
The baby cooed and then reached up to grasp the hooded figure's finger in it's tiny grasp. The hooded figure shook her head and blinked back the sudden tears that flooded her pale blue eyes, " I'm sorry little one. There's nothing I can do for you.....you have to go or you'll endanger us all. ", she whispered lightly as she began to run down the alley, clutching the babe to her chest.
' What will I tell him? How will I tell him? ', she thought as she ran, blinded by tears and by the rain.
The baby peered up at her with intense dark blue eyes. Arilyn Benton sniffled lightly as she continued to run, " I have to do this Corey...I'm sorry... ", she spoke to the child as she ran. " I don't think I would want your future to be ruined if you stayed with us any longer....your future already speaks for itself, with the tattoo on your right palm, I'm sure anyone would recognize you right off the hop. You'd be the death of the world. "
The baby giggled as if he thought what she just said was humoring to him. She sighed and continued to run. She passed a corner and then caught her leg on something hard. There was the snap of bone, followed by a cry of pain and then a thud on the ground as Arilyn swiftly twisted her body around so she would land on her back, cushioning the fall for her child.
She grimaced deeply as the back of her head connected with the hard pavement and then bounced off, only to repeat it again. She laid there for a few moments, with her mouth open in surprise and her eyes open, staring up at the dark sky. She blinked and felt a cool breeze caress her right cheek. She shook her head and swallowed thickly as she sat up slowly, " It has come...no. ", she whispered hoarsely. " No! You can't have the child...my child... "
Corey giggled and then let out a wail as he felt the rain pelt down onto his small, chubby face. Arilyn reached down and refixed the tiny hood onto his head. Her head shot up and she scanned the darkened alley. Seeing no one of any threat, she backed up against a brick wall and then slowly made her way by using the wall for support.
But why did it feel like there was someone there, watching her from the shadows. Staring at her as she tried to protect her baby; the child of fate, from the one who end up using him for the wrong thing.
' Fate can be so cruel to one little child....', she thought in bitterness.
She peered down at her now broken leg and winced as she rested her foot on the ground. Pain shot up her leg and through her body, straight to her head. Spots of different colours danced in front of her eyes and she shook her head to clear it. She bit her lip against the pain in her leg and she began to hobble towards the bright lit building across the alley.
Corey began to whine lightly and she tried to rock him gently, but it was no use. Corey was hungry. After his birth she had to get him and herself out of there before anyone knew that she had had him. His father, Daniel, was out searching for them right now, but she didn't care. She had to follow her instincts on this one. She had to make such that Corey made it out alive.
If Daniel had gotten ahold of Corey, who knows what he would do. Corey was the key to fate and always would be, for as long as he was alive. Arilyn whimpered slightly as she applied more weight to her leg. Corey was strangely silent in her arms and she peered down at him to find him asleep. She smiled lightly and then cradled him to her.
Knowing this would be the very last time she would ever hold something as precious as him to her body.
' Only he can fix it all, make it all right. He has to stay hidden for as long as he has too...if Daniel got ahold of him...', she shuddered. ' then he'd use Corey to fufill fate's request.... '
She shook her head hard and then shifted Corey to the side of her other arm. With her free arm she rapped on the large metal door loudly. Corey didn't awaken and she sighed lightly. She blinked and suddenly felt her eyes drooping. The door swung open and a short man with pure white medium length hair that was slicked back stood there looking at her.
His round little black goggles reflected the light from the inside and he frowned deeply as he peered at her, " Arilyn! What brings you here? ", he asked as he ushered her into the main hall.
Arilyn smiled weakly at him and blinked, trying to force her eyes open, but it was no use. She thrusted Corey into Dr. J's arms just before her eyes rolled into her head and she fell to the ground. J blinked down at the sleeping bundle in his arms to find a little boy about the age of two months with curly dark brown hair.
He looked down at the woman on the ground and shook his head sadly, " I will look after him for you Arilyn...he'll grow up to become a Gundam Pilot. I'm not sure what we will call him though....but I'm sure you have a reason for bringing him to me like this....", he wondered out loud as he reached down and lifted up Corey's small right hand.
He flipped it over and uncurled the small fingers slowly to reveal the tattoo. His eyes went wide and he stood there speechless. A servant with brown hair that was pulled back in a tight bun looked at him and then at the woman.
She gasped and rushed over to her. J shook his head, finding his voice again he stuttered, " S-she's gone...."
The woman looked at him, " Are you sure? "
He nodded, " Yeah....she brought someone to me. I owed her a favor...well, a big one..."
She walked over to him and peered down at the bundle in his arms, " What's that? "
" Her baby. But she never told me his name, so.....I'm a little stumped on names... "
She giggled lightly and reached out to finger the little brow curls. She cocked her head to the side as if completely lost in the child's face, " How about...Tyler..Tyler O'Donnell ...? "
He lifted an eyebrow and then nodded, " Well thought of, Mindy...."
She beamed, " Thank you, Dr. J....."
' So the child of fate is now called Tyler O'Donnell ....rather strange combination if you ask me....', he thought to himself as he turned and left Mindy standing there looking down at Arilyn's body. ' The tattoo....his mother has the same one, on the same hand....'
Mindy looked down at Arilyn's body and then took off to go and call the morgue, so they could come and pick up her body.......
(A/N** I know this is confusing peeps. This confusing for me too. I hope you guys liked. And please leave a review after you're done reading. I'd really like to hear what you thought. There will be lotz more coming and it'll be damn good too....I promise)
~**~Chapter 1~**~
~**~You shouldn't run...one of these days it's going to kill you~**~
Duo Maxwell frowned deeply as he watched his 'new' friend with dark brown hair and intense dark Cobalt eyes paced the ground in front of him, " Hey, why don't you just sit down or something. You're making me nervous with your pacing and stuff....."
Tyler O'Donnell's head swung in his direction and he bit his lip, " Sorry....", he muttered as he slowly made his way to his bed on the other side of the room. " I was....just a little distracted by something..."
Duo nodded, " I see...like what? ", he asked as he leaned forward.
Tyler shrugged lightly and looked down at the ground through the crack between his legs, " Nothing really, just about some dream that I'm always having...."
Duo lifted a dark brow and then brushed his bangs away from his dark navy blue eyes, " What kind of dream? Something like a X-rated one? ", he joked lightly.
Tyler frowned deeply, " No. It's always repeating itself...I've been having for...only god remember's how long. It's just about the same thing over and over. I don't understand any of it either...."
' This is weird....he'd usual snap at me or shoot one of his death glares if I ever asked him about his dreams of about his life... ', Duo nodded and scratched his chin as he studied his friend, " I see...would you care to, uh...share?"
Tyler's head shot up and he looked at him, " I....sure. Well, everytime I wait till you're asleep and also the others. Then I end up falling asleep. But...as soon as I close my eyes, I see this bright light flashing before my eyes and then I see a figure in the far distance. The body is...slender and slim like a female's....it has long hair that sways in the light breeze that's always caressing my cheek. ", he shook his head. " I slowly begin to run towards the figure, but as soon as I start running, the figure suddenly seems to be getting farther and farther from me. It's like it's running from me, but it isn't. It just stands there, brushing it's hair from it's face. I decide to stop because I'm starting to realize that it's useless chasing so I plop down onto the ground, breathless and sweaty. Suddenly there's a voice behind me that says this, ' So, you've decided to run from your fate? That's not a wise choice young one, not a wise choice at all....' I don't undestand what it means, so I turn around, hoping to catch a glimpse of who was speaking to me. ", he paused.
Duo watched him as he took a breath, " And? Who do you see? "
Tyler looked down at the ground, " I see who I was chasing....it's a young woman with long sandy brown hair and bangs. She peers down at me with...mysterious light blue eyes. Her full lips slightly parted as she crouches down and looks at me. I find that I can't speak and can't move. All I can do is inhale her scent of roses....she...leans in towards me and her soft lips brush against me cheek. She pulls away and looks at me, then she shakes her head, saying, ' You shouldn't run....one of these day's, it's going to kill you. ' "
Duo got off the bed and walked over to the large window with his arms crossed over his chest, " And have you been running from...this fate? "
Tyler got off the bed and followed him to the window. He stood beside him and watched as some girls walked down the street arm in arm, laughing at something, " I...I don't know. How am I suppose to know? When will I know? "
Duo was silent and then he turned to look at Tyler's confused expression, " I'm sorry to hear about your father...."
Tyler swallowed thickly, " Dr. J was like a father to me, but he was only a legal guardian to me...something like a foster dad.....it's alright. "
Duo nodded and then turned to look outside. He spotted Wufei Chang(I got it wrong, I know...don't flame be on it either....) and Trowa Barton stepping out of a limousine and making their ways towards the front doors of the private school.
Tyler frowned deeply and then scratched his chin, " Why they here? "
Duo shrugged, " I don't know. That's why we go and greet them, unless you just want to wait here for them..."
" I'd rather wait here for them..... ", Tyler replied softly.
' Man, this is freaking me out! ', Duo nodded, " Hey, it'll be alright. We'll figure out what this dream of yours means..."
Tyler shook his head, " It's not that that's bugging me at the moment..."
Duo lifted and eyebrow, " Then what is? ", he asked.
Tyler bit his lip and turned his head to the side, " I...there's something about that girl in my dreams. I don't know how to explain it, but....it's like we're going to..."
Duo chuckled suddenly and Tyler looked at him, " Tyler, Tyler, Tyler...", he muttered as he shook his head.
Tyler knitted his brows together, " What? "
" N-nothing...just a thought that came into my head...continue anyway..."
Tyler nodded, " Well...like I was saying, it's like we're going to meet sometime...I don't know when though. But it felt like I've already met her....."
There was a knock at the door and Duo went to go answer it, " It's probably them now...", he said over his shoulder as he reached out and twisted the knob.
He pulled open the door and then muttered loudly, " Or, probably not...."
Tyler frowned, " Who is it? "
Duo chuckled nervously, " Take a wild guess...."
Tyler shrugged, " I can't....."
Duo opened the door all the way and the girl from his dream stood there, with her hands clasped around her strapless purse, in front of her short black dress. She looked at Tyler with her blue eyes and smiled lightly, " I was sent here to talk to a...Heero Yuy....", she told him from the doorway, staring at Tyler the entire time.
**********************************************************************************************
Duo shot Tyler a look and mouthed, ' What's going on? How does she know? '
' What the hell....', Tyler shrugged, blinked and then shook his head to clear it, " I'm...Heero Yuy. Why? Who sent you? "
She stepped into the room, " Mr. Richards, the head principal....", she replied curtly.
He nodded and looked at Duo, " Duo... "
Duo frowned deeply and then winked at him as he made his way to the door, " I'm going, I'm going...."
Tyler nodded his thanks and waited till Duo was out of the room before he looked directly at the girl, ' She has to be about my age...eighteen...very pretty too. What the hell am I thinking....'
Relena studied Tyler's expressionless face and then cleared her throat as she slowly opened her purse, " Heero Yuy...I was sent here to talk to you about.... ", she grasped the handle of the gun tightly before letting her purse fall to the ground. Bringing out the gun, she pointed it at him. " your fate. "
Tyler blinked hard and froze, " My f-fate? What the hell about it? ", he demanded.
' This isn't right.... ', The right side of her lips curled up, " What about it? I don't know exactly.....all I know is that I want you to stop haunting my dreams, Heero Yuy. "
" Your dreams? Maybe you should stop haunting mine...", he retorted harshly. " And don't call me Heero Yuy... "
She flinched and shook her head, " You're the one who should stop haunting me...", tears slowly filled her eyes. " I can't sleep anymore without dreaming about you...."
He narrowed his eyes and then crouched down close to the ground. Relena followed him with her eyes and lowered the gun to his level. He shook his head and then cried out as he lunged for her bare legs, " You think a gun's going to stop me? "
She blinked and went to pull the trigger, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Tyler's arms went around her thighs as he tackled her and she fell to the ground with him on top of her. He quickly climbed onto her, straddling her hips, he grabbed her wrists and brought her arms above her head.
She swallowed thickly and looked up at him. The gun fell from her hand to lay of the ground beside her captured hands.Tyler looked down at her and then shook his head, " Now...tell me who really sent you. ", he said in a low, dangerous voice.
She shook her head, " I swore not to tell a soul....", she protested weakly as tears brimmed her eyes.
He snorted and shot her his death glare as he grinded his hips down onto hers. She felt a bulge in his pants and began to squirm under him, " Tell me! ", he demanded.
She tightened her lips into a straight thin line, " And if I don't? "
He stared at her, completely dumbstruck. She has placed him in a postion where he was...speechless. He didn't know how to answer that question. What was he going to say? That he'd rip her dress off and fuck her brains out? He sighed lightly and then bent down towards her, " I don't know what I'd do with you..."
She blinked as she stared into his dark blue eyes. She remembered the kiss on the cheek she would give him and then turned her head to the side. Tyler looked down at her strong jawline and slender neck before lowering his mouth to seek out where her pulse was located.
When his seeking lips found it, he felt it jump as he began to nip gently and plant soft kisses on the soft skin. Relena swallowed and then sharply brought her head around so she was looking at the ceiling and Tyler's mouth found hers. Tyler pushed his hips down onto hers and heard a stifled moan against his mouth.
Relena's skirt was hiked up past her thighs as Tyler sat on it by accident when he straddled her. Tyler parted her lips with his tongue and then invaded her warm mouth, probing and proding at her tongue with his, as he felt around her mouth.
Relena turned her head to the side and whispered, slightly breathless, " C-could you let my arms go...they're kind of going numb...."
Tyler looked up at them and blushed very, very lightly ," I'm sorry....", he muttered as he realeased her arms and rested his hands on the ground. He looked down at her and then shook his head, ' Was this planned? Just like the accident was....or the dreams? ', he wondered as his gaze washed over the side of her face and neck.
Relena felt his eyes on her and she brought her head around again, her gaze meeting his. She suddenly chuckled, " Are you going to get off of me? Or are you going to tease me all day with your...your...thing pressed against me? "
He blinked and then silently stood up and moved away from her.
Relena looked down and saw that he had hiked up her skirt to the start of her underwear. She frowned deeply and blushed as she reached out to push down the fabric. She stood up slowly and smoothed out the wrinkles in the skirt, muttering to herself, " I can't keep losing self control like this....why do I always do that? "
" Do what? ",Tyler asked from the large bed he now sat on.
She looked up at him and shook her head, " N-nothing. I was just thinking outloud...that's all...", she replied quietly as she walked over to the bed and sat down beside him.
He nodded and remained silent. Relena watched him from the corner of her eye, " Heero? Why do you haunt my dreams? "
" I...it's you who haunts my dreams... ", he answered lightly. " And don't call me Heero.... "
She bit her lip and scratched her head, " But....I don't understand what's happening. What's wrong with that name?"
He shrugged, " I...it just brings back bad memories of the...accident. Only my closet friends call me by that name..."
" I know it's your code name...Tyler O'Donnell....."
" But how? Who told you? "
She remained silent as she stared off in some other world. Tyler looked at her face from the side and leaned over, placing his mouth to her ear, and then whispering huskily, almost as if threatening her, " You had better tell me...innocence is such a precious thing to lose, don't you think? "
She blinked hard and quickly turned her head to the side to look at him, but her lips ended up brushing against his. She didn't know what happened next. Neither did he. Relena made a move to stand up but Tyler grabbed her arms and pushed her back onto the bed. She tried to back away from him, but he held her captivated with his lips.
Tyler didn't believe what was going on. He just couldn't. He didn't even know the girl and he was already kissing her with all the passion that he pocessed. The thing that nagged at him the most was, why is she going along with it? She hasn't given him any sign of her not wanting him to touch her or kiss her....
Relena sighed lightly against his lips and then pulled away. She watched as Tyler slowly lifted his weight off of her somewhat. He looked down at her and cocked his head to the side, " What's wrong? ", he asked gruffly.
She shook her head and closed her eyes, leaning her head back into the pillows, " I...nothing. You just have me wondering, that's all..."
He frowned, " I have you wondering? You have ME wondering. I've dreamt about you since I don't know and here you are now.... ", he bit his lip and whispered as he lowered his mouth to her exposed neck. " What are you doing to me? "
She couldn't take it anymore. Her arms went around him and she pulled him down to her. Burying her face into his shoulder, she began to cry. Tyler's arms slid underneath her slim figure and he flipped onto his back. Relena laid on top of him, with her ear pressed to his chest, listening to the steady thump-thump of his strong heartbeat.
Tyler reached up and softly stroked her long tresses of honey gold, while she cried softly. They laid there for about five minutes in silence, just listening to the sounds from outside of the dorm room. Relena sniffled lightly and Tyler cleared his throat, " So...would you mind telling me why you...broke down there for a moment? "
" Aren't I heavy? ", was all she said.
Tyler frowned deeply, " No...not at all, but you just dodged my question.... "
She nodded, " I know...I just don't want to talk about it. It feels like I've known you all my life, Heero....I don't understand why you haunted my dreams and I yours....."
" Do you remember telling me something about fate? "
She sucked in a sharp breath and lifted her head to look at him, " I, yes...I remember saying something like that.. "
" Okay. Can you remember what you were thinking when you said it to me? "
Her eyes left his face to gaze at his Adam's apple that bobbed up and then down as he swallowed, " I.... ", she stopped and then laid her head back on his chest.
" You what? Can't remember...? "
She shook her head, " No, I can remember...."
" Then what is it? What are you trying to hide from me? "
She sighed heavily, " Alright...I'll tell you. You aren't going to like it though. When I walk up to you and say the thing about your fate, I'm thinking that I should....kill you...... "
*****************************************************************************************
Milliardo looked up at his wife, Noin. He frowned deeply as he listened in on the conversation that was going on between his baby sister and between Heero Yuy. Noin noticed his reaction to what was just heard and she bit her lip hard, " Milliardo...I think that she's just a -- "
" Cut it out! ", he snapped. His blue eyes blazing as he turned to look at her. " You know as much as I do about her dreams, but she never told us about this..... "
She nodded, " I know, I know. You don't have to get so uptight about it. I'm sure she was going to tell us in good time....we just needed to give her time. "
Milliardo sighed heavily as he leaned forward on his desk and placed his head in his hands, " I just don't understand it. Daniel Benton is offering us...peace for the entire world and the colonies if we give him Heero Yuy in return....just Heero Yuy.... "
Noin nodded again and remain silent as she watched her husband from across the room, ' He's just worried about her, that's all. What'll happen if we really do turn Heero Yuy into the Benton foundation? Will he keep his world and give us peace? Does he hold the power to do that? '
Milliardo looked up at the sound of her voice, " Did you just say something? What do you mean ' does he hold the power to do that? ' What's that suppose to mean? "
She blinked hard and stared at him, " Huh? Did I say that outloud? "
He nodded, " Mmm-hmm. Now, tell me what you meant... "
" I meant...that if we turn Heero Yuy over to the Benton foundation will he keep his promise in giving us peace? Does he have the power alone to do it? "
He shrugged, " I...I'm not sure, Noin. "
" And if we don't turn Heero Yuy into them, what will they do? "
" Probably declare a war against the Cinq Kingdom and that'll be it unless some miracle happens by chance... "
Noin sighed heavily and looked over at Milliardo, " How's Relena doing? "
" She's still a little upset at the news of her foster father dying, but I'm sure she'll be alright. She's a strong girl....just like her mother was... "
Noin cocked her head to the side and watched him, " What about you? How are you taking this? I mean with having to send Relena out to this...I mean, this isn't like her and it isn't like you to put your baby sister in the line of danger.... "
Milliardo sighed and scratched his chin, " Well, I'm not at all happy about letting her do it, but you heard what Daniel said...he know's his son's weaknesses. He was the one who suggested that Relena go. ", he growled through clenched teeth. " I don't approve of the idea myself. What if he's holding a gun to her head as we speak? What if this Heero Yuy is dumping her body into the river.... "
Noin chuckled. She stood up and walked over to the desk. She reached out and placed a light hand on his bare shoulder, " It'll be alright. She'll be alright. If she doesn't come back alive, then you can...go and kill Benton and his son personally. Trust me Milliardo...everything will work out. Remember she is of royalty....as you are... "
He nodded, " I know. I know. I just still don't feel right having sent her down there to do MY dirty work. If I had known that she was to do what she was doing then I would've gone and done it myself.... "
Noin smiled and gently rubbed his back, " Please....try to get some rest. I know you're worrying, so am I, but we need rest to confront Benton and his croonies tomorrow. Alright? Will you listen to me? "
Milliardo looked over at her and then chuckled loudly, " Of course I'll listen to you. When don't I? ", he reached his arm over and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her against him. " Don't you worry....I'll take care of us all, weither it means having to sacrifice myself in the process.... "
*****************************************************************************************************
Duo frowned deeply as he looked at Trowa Barton fixing his tux, " What's with the tux, Trowa? "
Trowa looked at him with a somber expression on his face, " We're going out tonight. Some big banquet thing with Quartre. We were wondering if you and Heero would like to come? "
Wufei looked over at him and nodded, " Yes.... "
Duo bit his lip and then reached behind his neck, scratching it he grinned, " Sure! I'd be happy to get out of that damn dorm room. Heero would like that too...I hope. He's probably in some really grouchy mood though... "
Trowa lifted an eyebrow, " When isn't he grouchy? "
Duo frowned, " You know what, Trowa? You're right....today is the only time that I've seen him...not acting like himself. He's all cheery today and I don't know why...unless he knew about that girl... "
" What girl? ", Wufei demanded from beside Trowa as he fixed his shirt.
" Uh....some girl that he claims to have seen from his dreams.... "
Wufei snorted and then waved a hand through the air, " Girls are weak and pathetic. I don't see why he's so hung over her if she's just going to get in the way of his missions... "
Duo lifted an eyebrow, " Pathetic, huh? ", he shook his head. " I think I should tell Sally about this one.... "
Wufei's head shot up and he glared at Duo, " You'll keep your mouth shut, Duo... "
Duo frowned, " Whatever.... "
Trowa watched them both and then glaced up at Duo and Heero's dorm window to find Heero himself staring down at them. Trowa nodded but Heero didn't nod back. He just glared at him for some unknown reason. Trowa frowned and then turned his attention back to Duo.
" And then...he's telling me about how she tell's him that he's going to get himself killed one of these days.... ", Duo rambled on.
Trowa studied Duo, " Killed? From what? "
" Running from his fate... "
" Fate? ", Wufei asked.
Duo nodded, " I wasn't told the whole story...some girl came to the door looking for him. She even knew his code name which only the five of us do.... "
Wufei and Trowa stood there, speechless, and staring. Duo frowned, " What? "
" She's a spy! ", Wufei cried.
(A/N** There!! I finished it for you.....and here's a little note for you who think that there's going to be a "Sixth Gundam pilot"....there is NOT and I repeat, is NOT going to be a " sixth gundam pilot ". I think it's stupid...no offense to those of you who love writing about this...." Sixh Gundam Pilot ". There is just a little bit of a OOC change thingy, but I'm fixing that now...don't worry you Heero Yuy lovers, I'll make him the cold hearted bastard that he really is, just for you...*grins* Though I'm going to make him a little emotional at times, as well...be prepare...that is all....^.~ )
