Time to Heal

Introspection: An Episode Zero Series
Wufei and Meiran's Pieces
Part 2: Time to Heal

Notes: Still in Wufei's POV, kinda anti-5XSP, implied 6X9...takes place directly after the first part. (Oh, and coincidence: this part is Chapter 5 on FanFiction.Net! ^_^) Enjoy.

That onna, Sally Po...behind me, I can tell--my senses have been heightened as a soldier, and I heard her approach. I can only wonder as to why she is here, or how she found me in this secluded forest. But she is here, and it would only be right to give her an audience.

"Wufei. It seems that Zechs and Noin have gone off somewhere." Figured...they'd run away together, their love for each other still bright and new. I can only hope the best for the two of them and their life to come, so let that be that. "So would you like to join me?"

I reply without hesitation. "You mean as a Preventor? Why not?" And I'll tell you why not...the Preventors will dedicate themselves to keeping the peace that we worked so hard to attain...the peace that, if it existed naught but a year ago, would have saved the lives of thousands of weak souls, those who shouldn't have fought...somewhere within htose thousands, is a dragon warrioress, a female god of war, named Nataku...whose soul is finally at peace.

I did not join the Preventors for love of Sally, nor did I marry her, nor do I plan such. She is a strong woman, she is a just woman, she is a faithful woman...yet, through all of this, I do not love her, and I doubt if I ever will. For I will always love Nataku and no other, and it is time to heal. Should not a doctor, especially one as talented as Sally Po, know how to heal a soul? I believe that she does, and that her loyalty and friendship--nothing more and nothing less, of course--will help me heal. I need to heal, more than anything else in this world.

My dearest Nataku, now at peace, would approve. Dearly beloved one, wherever you may be, I hope you are proud. My world will never be the same without you, but I have learned there is more to life than your grace. The universe must be patched up, and I will dedicate myself to making the patches and putting them in. Yes, Nataku...I believe you are proud of me. I thank you for giving me your strength, I honor you for your bravery, and I hope for the future.

Dang, this was short! Ah well. If you haven't already, read Trowa and Midii's Pieces. Either way, review!
