(*(*(*(*
Thick, long, chocolate bangs hung over his Persian Blue eyes, only allowing fractures of the breath taking scene before him to be seen. He heaved a rough sigh and removed the dry hair from his eyes.
He stood by his family as they watched their history burn down. It was pure choas, people yelling back and forth, firemen and women dragging long, grey like trunks towards the only haunt he knew and lived in; trying to calm down the outradge flames, but it was already too late to tame its strength and power.
Heero's sister, Alisa who was 13-years-old, tried her most hardest to fight the tears that welmed inside of her. Heero gently wraped one arm around the small body of his sister, letting her head rest on his chest while he comferted her. Everything they knew, loved, owend, and remembered now was a pile of soon-to-be ashes. "How did this happened?" Heero's dad questioned outloud and more to himself than the family. Mr. Yuy walked toward the nearest fireman and asked the same question from before.
"We have..." Was the only two words that exscaped the man's mouth. The answer just hung there, never really completed. There was a sudden CRASH and WOSH. The house couldn't hold the weight of gravity no longer, it began to colaspe inward. The fire's hot, flamy arms reached upward, to the dark, summer night sky. Foarming a golden glow around its surrounding's. Black clouds began to gather from above, but it was too dark to see if a stoarm was constructiong and if it will arrive at any moment. Heero watched the fireman that was talking to his father, run off to his co-workers and then yelling, "We need back up NOW!"
It was such a dry, hot summer in the country. Anything could have started these mad flames. Heero watched siently as the flames grew and threatend to kill anyone and anything in its path. He watched the fire department work fast and hard, moving the vernable neighbor's out of their homes, and controlling the spewing sparks. Heero observed the angry clouds above grow. A strong, hot gust flew by, feeding the fire as it came.
Than, quiet as a tiger stocking its prey, a low roar developed siently near by. Another strong breeze rushed threw, but with it was the sweet smell of rain. YES! It was a storm and its force flourished. Heero and everyone around him prayed for the heaves above to open up and stop this insanity.
CLASH!
A sudden yellow streak ran across the dark navy blue, night sky. A seconed later the loud rumble of the thunder soon followed the lightning. Everyone (except the fire department) looked upward, as if they just saw some sort of phenomenon. It started light and easy, but once the seconed lightning and thunder crash and rumbled ; the rain fell down faster, bigger, and harder. It must have been months since the last rain shower fell. That could be another reason the house caught on fire. There was a drought happening and EVERYTHING was dry and crisp as a dead leaf.
Everyone cheered (except the Yuy family, they watched the fire hiss in pain as it was being put out by the hoses and the shed tears of the navy sky) and yelled with pure joy. The same fireman that was talking with Mr.Yuy, came back to discuss some issues to Heero's father. "Do you have any family near by?" He asked in a monetone voice as he wiped sweat and ash off his forehead.
"No, not very close at all." Answered Mr.Yuy. Right than, after Heero's dad replyed, a white, 99' model, town and country, minnie van pulled infront of the wet, dumbfounded Yuy family. Since the long, black, rubbery sticks whiped back and forth, whipping the un-wanted saturated crystals off the window; it was quite diffacult to see the driver of the car. But they had no need to see the misterious person, once they spoke Mr. and Mrs. Yuy emetly smilled; the two knew the voice! And it said, "Oh my Tenshi, is this your house?!?!" It questioned, Mr. and Mrs. Yuy nodded. "Well why don't you stay over night at MY house. Mr. Darlian is out of town for another buissness trip. Unless you have another place to lodge."
"That would be wonderful, but we don't want to be a bother." Said Mrs.Yuy.
"Oh god no! I would love the company of you guys. It's ok, really! Now hurry up before you get sick. It's raining extremly hard." So without another word, the soaken Yuy family climed in and they were off.
Alisa asked (on the way to Safeway) if she could stay at her best friend's house. "Is that ok Kate?" Asked Mrs.Yuy.
"It's ok with me, but we got to hurry. It's starting to really come down."
By the time they were done with the grocies and dropping off Alisa, that's when the storm discontinued, for now.
"Sorry, I guess there really was no reason to rush you." Said Mrs.Darlian as she opened the door of the two-story house.
"It's ok, do you need any help with the cooking?!" Offered Mrs.Yuy.
"That would be cool. Now let's see, what room's should you guys stay in?!?! Tenshi and Sayaka can have the guest room. That's across mine, down the hall." Said Mrs.Darlian as she pointed her finger down the pitched black hallway. "And Heero, you can sleep on the coutch up or downstair's. I would prefer the downstair's. it's mucher bigger and softer."
"Thank you very much Kate. How ever could we repay you?!?!" Asked Mrs.Yuy in a gental, thankful tone.
"Stay alive." Mrs.Darlain answered sarcastically. "Anyways this is what friends are for." Once everyone was settled AND dinner was ready, they began to eat.
"Where's Relena?!?!" Asked Mr.Yuy.
'Relena, I haven't heared that name for a *long* time nore have I seen her that much.' Thought Heero as his family and Relena's mom chattered away.
*Each night I feel the distance that has grown between us
Open up as lonely as the space between the stars...*
"She's working agian. She works at 'Vets For Less', it's a real challenge, something she's not afraid to do. She enjoy's helping the animals, but for the last two day or three days she's only had the total of three hours of sleep. I'm a little worried, but she's too determine to help. Which means she wont listen to me." Mrs. Darlian answered.
"Why is she working so hard?!?!" Asked Mr.Yuy.
"There's some dangerous animal disease spreeding around and the Main Vetranarian, Lillia, sometimes gives her home phone number to the patients with the worse condition's, so if some pet is real sick than the owner can call. Relena's has even gone far as volunteer to take some of the indurged pets home, so the sick onces can stay at the animal hospital. Also, the place is so packed this season, that's another reason Relena's tacking them home. Both girls have devoted their lives to animals and nature." Explained Mrs.Darlian as she began to pick up after dinner.
'That's Relena for you. Too stubbern to give up, good, but we've been too busy to spend some time with eachother. And that new boyfriend seems a little...cruel and protective. Not allowing me and the other boys near her. What has she put herself into now?!? What happened to our friendship?!?! I wish there's a way to get you out of this situation you've put your self into! *Why* wont you let me help!?!!?' Heero asked himself.
*I wish I could find a way
To smash my fist right through these walls
Of ugliness and emptiness and gently touch your face.*
Heero offered to finish cleaning as Mrs.Darlian took his parents to their insurance company. Which wasn't very near by at all. It would at most take a day to get there and back.
"That means we'll be gone for the night, since we're going to the city. Mrs.Darlian is kind enought not making you come and she trusts you. So be good son!" Instructed Mr.Yuy.
"Goodbye sweetie." Mrs.Yuy said as she kissed his cheeck.
"Bye mom and dad."
"Relena might be home in awhile. I tried to leave a message at her building, but no one was there. You could be in bed by the time she arrives, she probably will be too pooped out to even notice I'm gone and your here. Do as you wish, I trust you." Mrs. Darlian said as she searched her purse for the set of un-countable amount of keys, all hooked onto a single loop. Making a noise, as if she had loads of loose change in her handbag.
"Ok, bye and arigato for your hospitality." Said Heero politely.
By the time the large, metal bug like machine dissapered over the road horizen; the clouds began to darken once more and the a secound sheet of tears fell upon the soaken earth. The smell of rain became even more distinctive. Lightning brighten up the land everytime it strucked and the thunder shoock the earth everytime it boomed. This was devently a wild and DANGEROUS storm, it had botled up it's anger long enough and decided that the time was perfect to show it's ugly face. It also presented a sign of not ending.
As the storm continued to scream outside of the Darlian's house, inside it was calm and quiet as if you were in the middle of no where. Heero eventually finished the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, once he was done he went and took a seat in this BIG, soft, red, velvet chair. Ohhh how comfertable if felt to rest in after such a undescribable evening. Heero let out a long sigh and began to read Harry Potter; his friends, plus Relena, keept telling him how good it was and that he might enjoy it if he gave it a chance. I guess he never really had the spear time to read it or any book, he's been so preoccupide with life, school, and trying to tell Relena that Adam (her boyfriend) wasn't good enough for her and that maybe she was making a...mistake; without pissing the hell out of dark honey haired tomboy and lossing the most treasured friendship he had with a girl AND she's not your every day kind of girl. So, it was actually the right time to read, he had nothing better to do. He would keep on reading until Relena came home.
As the time flew by (which Heero didn't notice), once in awhile the lights would flicker and threaten to go out at any moment. Another flash of resplendent light from the angrey sky filled the room with it's bright glow. Tit-tat, tit-tat, tit-tat of the rain hitting the roof and windows were the only sound that could be heared, besides ticking of the hand-clock and the pages of Heero's book being flipped.
By the time Heero finally looked at the clock hanging over some family photo's, he was already done with the third book. He's always been a fast reader, never really occured to him that he had all the time in the world to read. 'How late is it?' Heero asked himself. It was already tweenty minuets past ten. 'I guess there's no reason to continue watting. You *never* know what she's up to, Lena don't over do it.' Thought Heero wordily.
Right when Heero thought his last words, the lambency of a car headlights fell from the cieling to the wall. For awhile the lights just sat there, never moving or turning off. It obveously was Relena, so Heero closed the hardcover story and stood by the half wall, waiting.
Time passed on and it must have been five minuets since the car lights were off. Heero rubbed his muscelar upper limbs, trying hard to prevent the irritatting shivers on going up and down his turso. He began to feel the fimiluar sience of sleepiness, he recognize the weight of tieredness on his eyebrows; as he waited for her to walk in. His head fell into his walbaly palm, his body aching for staying so long in the same position.
He let his palm hit the hard, old half-wall, it was obvious pointless to wait, his body was winning. Frustrated that he didn't get the to say 'ya' or 'o-yasumi nasai' to an old best friend, WHICH he hasn't seen for a extensive of time, was adding up. Right when Heero tuned to go to his "bed", he indentified the soft footsteps clime up the antique stairway....
