No Longer Innocent

A/n: I have to say that I kinda went against my word… I said that I would only continue writing my story if there were 5-10 reviews, but from what I know right now I only have 3. So I have to say I want to thank those first 3 reviews especially! They made me feel tons better about my writing! I will probably continue this story since I like it a whole lot myself! Besides I might just get more reviews if people start noticing my story! ^_~ I am definitely not discouraged that's for sure! But I still would like who ever reads this to review it for me so that I can have what you readers want to happen in this story. It would be tons of help, and I would have fewer writers blox. I also promise that there will be action REAL soon. I hope to update this story very often, but there is also my original story that I have to work on. I will stop jabbering as soon as I write my disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing… Happy? Lol…Now you can't sue me!
Chapter 2
Via walked out of her dorm in high spirits that morning. Her second day of college was now beginning, and she couldn't be happier. It was the first time that she actually looked forward to classes. Nothing seemed to be able to ruin her mood!
As Via walked down the hallway a very familiar blonde girl came towards her. " Hi Relena! Where are you going? Class is that way." Via pointed in the direction she was walking.
Relena looked coolly at her. " Hi Olivia… I need to talk to you… about certain things…"
Via gave her a puzzled glance, but nodded. " All right, but you better hurry or we will be late for class." The 2 girls started walking in the direction Via was going in silence.
Relena spoke first, and her face held a very disturbing blank look. " Via I realize that you are new to this school… But you must understand that Heero is mine!"
" W-what a-are you t-talking a-about?"
" Don't act surprised… I have seen the way you act around him… I will remove any little girl that gets in my way…" Relena pointed an accusing finger at Via.
At this point they had stopped walking. " R-Relena it is only the s-second d-day of school! W-we barely k-know each other…" Via cringed as Relena's face was twisted in an ugly expression.
" You better keep it that way…" Relena stomped off without another glance.
Via shakily hugged her books to her chest. She jumped as a hand landed on her shoulder. She turned around, and saw Trowa looking at her with an emotionless face. " Don't let her get to you… She doesn't understand that Heero will never love her…" Trowa walked ahead of her.
" B-but T-Trowa! I-I n-never said I l-liked Heero! W-what is going on w-with e-everyone!?" Via sighed because she knew she wouldn't get an answer out of him. Her happy mood was ruined after all. She decided the only way to stay out of trouble was to avoid Heero. She shoved her thoughts back, and ran to class.
The rest of the day was awkward. Everyone noticed Via avoiding Heero. Relena was not surprised at all, but was rather smug. Trowa acted as if he knew nothing, and the other 3 pilots were confused. Heero was puzzled also, but kept his emotions in check. There was also a difference in Heero, but it was less noticeable.
The pilots had worse things to think about… Their mission was going to take action after Wednesday. The terrorist that was threatening the Earth Alliance said that they would take action first at this college. The Alliance didn't want to alarm the citizens so they sent the Gundam pilots under cover. They weren't even suppose to make friends in the first place, but Duo being the friendly person he is made friends with Via. The pilots didn't mind that much though (even if Wufei and Heero won't admit it) since she didn't pose much of a threat.
~ Wednesday ~
The day went along without any trouble, and Via was still avoiding Heero. Every time he took the seat next to her, she would get up make some lame excuse, and come back sitting in another seat. Heero was getting frustrated since he did not know what he did. He decided that he would just avoid her too. So the 2 were staying away from each other all day. The other pilots were getting sick of this, and wanted it to stop. Duo decided to make some sort of plan, and since no one thought of anything else they went along with it. The plan was to happen during their group project session after school at Heero's dorm.
When they entered Heero's dorm it was not surprisingly plain. Everything was forest green. It was NEAT too unlike a certain pilot with braided hair… They sat around in a circle in the middle of the small living room. Duo purposely made it that Via HAD to sit next to Heero. Quetra seeing that he always had to start the conversation said ", So what shall we do first?"
" I say get some snacks!" Duo got glares directed to him after he said that. " What? Haven't you heard of a joke?"
" Well…I think we should fix the main problem in the memory chip. The computer won't follow orders unless it remembers them right?" Via suggested this since she had been thinking about it for a while.
" That sounds good, but let's divide up the jobs. Via, you can work on the memory chip, Duo I want you to go get something to eat (I don't exactly want you to blow anything up). Trowa you can start taking the laptop apart, and Quetra you help with that. Wufei you will help me with more urgent matters. Agreed?" Heero's leadership was obviously good because everyone got to work right away. What urgent matters Heero was talking about was that he needed Wufei's help in figuring out a strategy for tomorrow. Everyone knew this, but Via of course since she didn't even know they were the Gundam pilots.
By 10:00 p.m. the curfew bell buzzed. They weren't even finished yet! Via yawned, " What are we going to do? Should we just not care about curfew, and get this over with?" Everyone nodded. " All right…" At 10:30 p.m. everything was finished. Via was dozing when a distant rumble woke her up. The pilots felt it too. " Hey guys what's going on?" The pilots didn't answer her, but looked at each other.
" Heero are they suppose to strike this early?" Duo had to shout this because a loud explosion went off. " Crap we got to go evacuate everyone!" The pilots nodded and ran out of the room.
Via quickly grabbed Heero's arm. " Heero what is going on?" Her eyes were wide with fear and confusion. He just shook her off, and was about to leave again. Via only grabbed his arm tighter. " Please tell me Heero! I am scared…" She started hiccuping.
Heero grimaced as a tear fell down her cheek. He wiped it away with his thumb, and traced it down her cheek. " Everything is going to be ok Via… Just stay here… Don't worry I will come back to get you. I promise to never let you be alone again." He ran out of the room cursing him self for showing even a BIT of sympathy. But when Heero Yuy promised something he would do it.
Via was in shock as he ran out the room. When his thumb traced down her cheek it was like daje vu. She was even more surprised when he said he would never let her be alone again. Someone else had said that to her long ago too, but it was a ver hazy memory…
~ Flashback ~
A little 5 year old Via sat in front of a burning house. She was confused… Where were Mommy, and Daddy? She was just playing outside when there was a sudden explosion, and the house got all red. Her Mommy and Daddy were inside, but they weren't coming out…
A strange man in firemen clothing picked her up. She turned to look at him. " Where are my Mommy and Daddy Sir?"
The man grimaced and said ", I am sorry, but your parents are dead…" The girl's eyes widened.
" NOOOOOooooooo!!! Mommy and Daddy are alive!!! They promised to be with me forever and ever!" The 5-year-old sobbed, and squeezed out of the man's arms. She ran down the street crying. She ran on and on until she reached a place she had never been before. Sleep was dragging in her eyes as she mumbled ", They aren't dead… They are alive…" She didn't notice that she was walking in the middle of the street.
A truck was going straight for her, and the driver didn't notice a small little girl in the road. Suddenly a boy yelled ", Watch out!" The boy ran with amazing speed to her and tackled her out of the way.
Via's eyes widened, the young boy was still on top of her, and she could smell the scent of him. It was a forest smell mixed with gunpowder? " Sir could you get off of me?"
" Oh sorry!" The boy smiled, and helped her to her feet. " What are you doing out here this late?"
She looked up at him, and figured he looked about 3 years older than she did. " My name is Olivia! Who are you?"
" My code name is Heero!" She gave him a strange look, but smiled. " So what are you doing here?"
" My parents died… So now I am all alone…" Her eyes filled with tears again.
" Oh… well don't worry I will be here for you! I am an orphan too!" He wiped her tears away with his THUMB. He grinned at her, and gave her a big hug to make her feel better. She returned it happily.
" So you promise you won't leave me?"
" I promise… Come with me! I want you to meet this guy that is teaching me to do stuff! His name is Dr. J!" He took her hand, and led her down the street.
" Thank you Heero…" She stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek.
Heero blushed, and continued pulling her along. " It wasn't anything big! Besides you remind me of me a few years ago!"
~ End of Flashback ~
Via was now even more confused. Where did that memory come from? Was that Heero the same Heero she knew? She knew it couldn't be, but she wasn't sure. Via ran to the window to catch a look at what was going on. What she saw made her gasp. The whole school was on fire, and 5 GUNDAMS were fighting against mobile suits she had never see before.
She was going to watch longer, but another rumble made her fall over. She cried out in pain. Via had twisted her ankle. To make things worse, the smell of smoke reached her nose. " Could the dorm building be on fire?" The room started heating up, and she started sweating. She willed herself to crawl over to the window again.
One of the Gundams was running towards the building. She gasped ", Great not only am I gonna be burned, but I am going to be squashed by a Gundam!" The Gundam did the most unexpected thing though. It broke the wall next to the window. She screamed, and scooted herself away from the wreckage. The cockpit opened, but she couldn't see the pilot that jumped out.
Suddenly a beam from over head could be heard cracking, and it fell. It was about to fall on her! She closed her eyes ready to die, but the oddest thing happened. Arms had wrapped around her, and jumped away from the beam. The fumes made her dizzy, and she couldn't see right. Via started struggling, but the pilot held her tight. She was about to scream, but a voice in her ear whispered ", You might not want to scream… You need the air to get out of here without suffocating." She clamped her mouth shut, and put her face in the pilot's shirt. He held her tighter, and ran to his Gundam. " WingZero we both have to make it out of here alive for her sake." He jumped in the cockpit, and settled her on his lap.
By now she had already passed out. " We got to get to the base, the mission has backfired…" The pilot of course was Heero, but Via didn't know that since she had passed out. " Duo, Quetra, Trowa, and Wufei, I have Via. Head toward the Preventer's base."
" No problem Heero, but what did ya want Via for? You got a crush on her?" Duo grinned innocently. Heero didn't answer, but made a note to sock Duo when they landed.
~ Via's angle ~
Via gained conscious slowly, and a familiar smell of the forest and gunpowder filled her senses. She snuggled deeper into the person that had this smell. It was all too familiar…
~ Flashback ~
Via now 8 years old expertly did a flip, and landed in front of a 11 year old boy. " What do you think Heero? Was that perfect or what?" The boy smiled, and did a more professional and complicated move. "Show off!"
" No, you just have a lot more to learn little Livie…"
" Hey I told you to never call me that!" She tackled the boy. They pretend fought each other for a couple of minutes laughing.
Dr. J walked in smiling. " That's enough kids… I need to speak to Olivia…" Olivia said good bye to Heero not knowing it was the last good bye she was going to say to him.
" What did you want Dr. J?" Olivia twisted her fingers together nervously.
" I was wondering if you would like to start a new life all over again."
" You could do that?" Excitement was in her voice.
" Yes… I could make you forget everything, and become a new person."
" But what about Heero? Will I ever see him again?"
" Yes you will… I can promise that…"
" Ok…then let's do it right now…"
" Of course."
~ End of Flashback ~
Olivia suddenly understood everything! She remembered every single memory that she had before she was 8 years old. All of them were painful, but sweet. She sat up quickly, and bumped her head on someone's chin. She looked up to see Heero, and down to see that she was sitting on his lap. Via blushed, and got up. " What happe-
She stopped her sentence because a VERY familiar old man walked in the room. Her temper flared. She didn't care what everyone thought of her right now as she tackled him angrily. " You promised that I would have a happy life! You said that I would be safe! Then what about those 2 murder attempts huh Dr. J!? You also said that I could see Heero again! Where is Heero may I ask!? Where!? You better tell me before I strangle you! I met that Heero behind me, but I that can't be the Heero I know! That Heero is COLD and UNFEELING!" Someone grabbed her, and pulled her off the almost half-dead old man.
" Calm down! It is I Livie! It really is me!" She turned around her to face her captor. There was Heero, and he was SMILING!
She remembered that smile so well… " Heero…" Then she fainted into darkness…Warmth enveloped her again…
