Makoto to Lita!

They were gone, all of them. Every last one. All her friends. The only people she could
ever call her true family, save the little girl she craddled in the her arms. The poor child.
"Rini...." *she should have never seen this*

She carried the child through the streets. Battered and bruised, weakening with each
step, but it wasn't much farther....she was almost out of the once city, but now a pile of
burning ruble. Her home no more.

And then, there it was, the cause of all her hurt. It towered above her, followed by
four others of the same type...she had heard about them, the gundams.

She approached them. The first one, dark, and demonic. 02. The one that set her home
ablaze.


The cockpit opened, revealing a boy of the same age. A long braid, and eyes that she had
only seen once before. The image of Hotaru blew through her mind.

He looked at her. Her lifeless eyes, and limp hair. She had seen the whole thing. The
masacure. *like Maxwell Church*

He had never seen anyone look so sad. The wind blew all around her, and she shook at the
chill. Duo had never seen anybody in this shape before. Except for those who were already
dead. Blood stained her once white blouse, and her blue skirt was now short and shredded. Her
face was scratched, and dirty, with tears of blood. Her arms and legs were raw with wounds.
Her hair was bloody at the ends, but the little girl in her arms....she seemed fine, except for
a scratch under her left eye.

The other four pilots joined Duo at his sides. The girl looked to them. Tears of a new
kind washing away streaks of dirt and blood. She looked so sad. She limped towards Duo,
clenching the little girl tighter with every step, becoming weaker by the second.

The girl searched each of the pilots eyes. They all held a similar look, of a hidden
secret. She whispered words so silent..."Murdered...all of them....murdered."

She let herself sob, letting go of the strength she was trying to keep with her.

"How could you?" she murmured,"We were so happy...so happy." she finished in a whisper.

The pilots watched her fall to her knees, still clutching the child. Duo approached her,
"Who are you?"

She looked down, shakeing. Poor Rini. So small...She looked back to Duo, Then to Heero,
Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre. She took a double take on Quatre, he looked familiar...ah...that's
right, he is a politicians son, Quatre Rabarba Winner, she knew who he was.

" I...I'm..." Her voice was shaky.

She looked sadly at Rini and then back to Quatre."Mr. Winner...?" She cringed, loosening
her grip on Rini. Gritting her teeth she grabbed her head...Visions....it was happening all
over again. She lay Rini upon the ground, and stood screaming," No...!" The visions searing
through her head, destroying her mind...Then her world went black.

Quatre lifted the child gingerly, slightly shaken by the bloody girl who knew his name,
as Duo lifted the girl with the bloody hair, and limp body. Quatre asked Duo quietly,"Is she
still alive?"

"Yes." he said simply.

The five headed to their gundams. The way she looked....it reminded Duo of Heero, and
Trowa. She was so sad, and solemn. He climbed into DeathScythe, laying the girl on his lap
gently. And headed back to their place of residing....for the time being.

***********************************************************************

"WHERE IS SHE!!!"Rini screamed. She glared a Heero. "I know you hear me! WILL YOU AT
LEAST LOOK AT ME?!?!?!?" with a huff she opened her mouth to scream again but was pulled away
quickly. A girl with light hair and glittering blue eyes smiled at her. "Hello, my name is
Relena Peacecraft. You are looking for your friend?" Rini nodded. "Well, she's sleeping right
now, but she'll be alright. What is her name?" Rini looked up...she could trust this girl, she
hoped,"Her name? It's Lita." Relena smiled. "And who are you?"

"oh! I'm Rini."

"Well it's nice to meet Rini, are you hungry?"

"I can be hungry later. Can I please see Lita? Please?"

"Well....I suppose. She really is alright. Duo is in there right now, watching over her, making
sure she is okay."

"I DON'T CARE! I need to see her!.....she's all I've got." Relena watch the glimmer in the
little girls eyes dissapear.

Relena felt something tug at her heart. This little girl had lost everything in one day,
her home, her family, her friends. Everything. Relena looked at her,"Come on, let's go see your
friend."
