Ok, chapter 2. The Prequel. I hope you enjoy it... All disclaimer's apply.
It was about 12 in the afternoon when I saw her for the first time. I don't
know what year; they've all sort of melted together. Things tend to do that when
all you live for is battle. Ask Wufei, he'll tell you. As I was saying, it was
12 noon, and I had been trudging through the mundane schedule of my new 'school'
life. Don't they know that I could teach just about every class in that school?
Well, I was standing in the courtyard, listening half-heartedly to Duo -God, but
he talks insecintly- prattle on. A car, a very nice car, suddenly pulled up
through the courtyard and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen stepped out. A
girl of her same age dashed up to her and said,
"Relena! You're back!" Inside, I froze, but my countenance remained
the same. This was Relena Dorlin? This beautiful girl was the girl I was
assigned to kill? Man, life sucks. I simply couldn't believe it. I told Duo to
shut up, and walked away from him, headed back to my dorm. Relena obviously
watched me, and for some reason ran after me.
"Hello," she said. "Are you the famous pilot, Heero Yuy?"
"Maybe," I said gruffly. "Depends on who's asking." I gave
her a slight glare, warning her to watch her words carefully.
"My name is Relena Dorlin. I am the daughter of an emissary who was
recently killed. I was wondering if you could help me, but, if you're not Heero,
then I'll keep looking." She looked at me straight on, never looking down,
never backing off. She was strong; I liked that in my women.
"Well, I am Heero Yuy, but I don't help anyone unless it helps me. How will
it help me, little girl?" She gave me a disgusted look at the term, 'little
girl'. I ignored it.
"For YOUR information," she said indignantly, "I am 17 years old.
I am NO little girl." She growled under her breath. "I will give you
as much money as I have if you will assist me in destroying the Peacecraft's. My
father told me, with his last dieing breath, that I should avoid them at all
costs. Please, Heero, will you help me?" She gave me the most pitiful look
of helplessness, but I knew that she was so strong without me. I just about fell
in love with her right then and there. In fact, some times, I believe I did. Why
else would I have done what I was just about to do?
"All right, Relena, I'll help you." I sighed and closed my eyes. This
was certainly going to be interesting.
