I sat gazing at the stars in Riona's hospital bedroom while she and Trowa talked. Talking, I thought wistfully. That was something I would never be able to do. But something even more wonderful then talking was singing and that was even farther from my reach until I learned how to play the ocarina. I could play the notes and feel like I was singing them. All the sudden my thoughts were interrupted by another person near me. I looked and saw that it was Wufei. He pulled something out of his pocket and put it in my hands. I looked down at it. It was my sash! I smiled at him and handed it back.
"You should keep it Chang Wufei as a token of my gratitude for saving me," I signed. He nodded and put it back in his pocket.
"Sally wanted to see you. She is ready to put the cast on your arm," he signed. I nodded and stood up. Quietly I sneaked out of the room and down the hall. On my way I passed Quatre.
"Where are you going?" he asked. I pointed to my arm that was slowly turning a sick shade of purple. He grimaced and nodded. I smiled and kept walking till I reached the x-ray room. Sally came up to me and smiled.
"Now I've already straitened your arm so all we have to do is set it," she said. I put my arm down on the table and she placed a clear armband on it then she turned on this tiny laser and burned it so it would stay on. Then she placed a sling over my neck and carefully placed my arm inside. Suddenly the door slammed open and Hilde ran in.
"Oh good, your ready! Sally if it's okay with you Relena is gonna drive us all home, including Riona and Hatoru," she said beaming at me. Sally shrugged.
"You can take your cast of about noon tomorrow and you'll be fine," she said. I nodded and took Hilde's hand as we ran out to Relena's limo were the other girls were already waiting. We went back to our dorms and brushed our teeth then we went to sleep.
The next morning was a weekend so we got to sleep in. When we woke up it was almost 8:00 in the morning. I got up and shook Riona awake. Then I took a shower and got dressed. Since we didn't have school we didn't have to wear our uniforms. It was still kinda of cold outside so I decided to wear black leather pants, a white tube top, and a black leather no- sleeve jacket that came to my waist. I didn't put on any make-up but I did put on my dragon necklace. Riona choose to wear this really short white dress with long red sleeves that hugged her body. She didn't wear any make-up either but did put on her sun necklace. We both put on sneekers and walked out. I had to stop by the fencing room and pick up my sword because I was going to get a new handle put on it, the old one was ready to give up. When I got there I heard voices so I stayed in the shadows and listened.
"That mobile suit attack wasn't supposed to happen!"
"Yeah I know but when we got everyone out of the building we erased their memories"
"How do you know you got everyone?"
"Because they all had to be driven home and the smoke that we used was in the cars"
"But what about Hatoru and Riona, they took a car that didn't have any smoke"
"They were both to badly hurt and scared to notice anything."
"But what about in the woods they could have been listening to us"
"Um, Duo if you remember we were the ones listening to them"
"Yeah your right"
"Still I think it would be wise if we erased their memories of that night"
"Alright but how are we gonna do that Trowa?"
"I don't know we'll just have to wait for our chance"
"What if they start to ask questions?"
I heard the click of a gun.
"No way Heero, we can't do that!"
"We'll just have to cross that bridge when we get to it."
I heard a shuffling of feet then I saw shadows starting to come my way. I quickly ran out and leaned against the wall trying to act like nothing was happening. Heero, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, and Duo walked out. Heero glared at me.
"Hi Hatoru, what are you doing here?" asked Quatre suspiciously. I sweat dropped and put my hand behind my head my face turning pink.
"Nothing, nothing," I signed. "Just picking up my sword". Wufei translated and Quatre nodded.
"Well good luck on your competition!" he said and walked away. As the others walked away I sighed. You too, I thought. I ran into the fencing room opened my locker and grabbed my sword. Then I ran out hoping to find Riona! I knew there had been something fishy and now…I gulped hard.
