~*~1 Year Later~*~
"I'm not amused by this, daddy!" Aurelia cried out, trying to sound more grown up than 10. "You said that when I was 10 I could have the mobile suit you got for me!" The girl looked at her father angrily.
She was not tall, 4"0 to be exact. But her golden hair, reaching her ankles, and done into a French braid, made her look a bit taller than she really was. Her deep blue eyes looked into her father, Kenshin. "Dad! You promised!" She protested again.
Then tall, brown-haired man sighed and looked at his beautiful daughter. "Fine." He consented to her wishes. Heaving another sigh, he got up and made his way towards a room in the house that Aurelia had always been forbidden to go into. Stopping at a number pad, he punched a code in, and the door opened slowly.
The room was much larger than she had expected. It went down into the earth for about two miles. Its walls were all metal, and there was a catwalk that circled the room. In the center of it, there were two large mobile suits. One was a tan color, and seemed to be in the shape of a man and also had a single large black gun (Leo), and the other was larger, and more detailed. It was colored silver, and was equipped with one large silver sword, and one crescent shaped item.
"That," Kenshin told Aurelia, pointing to the silver one, "is a Gundam. A Gundam is a special mobile suit made from rare gundanium. It's ten times stronger then any other mobile suit, like, let's say my Leo over there." He explained, pointing to his mobile suit, which was dwarfed by the giant Gundam.
"Wow…" Aurelia murmured in wonder at the large machine below her. Her deep blue eyes widened in amazement.
"It's Gundam Lunar Eclipse." Kenshin told her. "I tried to use it once, but I couldn't control its power." He exclaimed. "I trust you can use it correctly." Aurelia looked at him, pure shock written all over her face.
Over the next five years, Kenshin trained his daughter to use her Gundam. She was trained in combat as well, and taught to use a gun correctly, and given an expert mind on machinery and strategy. She was soon a strong and brilliant warrior, who could do extraordinary things that other people couldn't accomplish, no matter how science messed with them.
5 years later, Aurelia was apparently ready to fight, but only Kenshin held her back. "You can't go out there!" He sternly told her. "You have no idea of the dangers!"
"I believe I'm old enough to take care of myself, father!" She yelled. "I'll be just fine! I've got the talent to live." She looked at him with an air of superiority. Realizing early on that he could never change his daughter's mind, Kenshin sighed and sat down sadly.
"Let me tell you something." He sighed sorrowfully. "Do you know who you are?" He looked up at the now 4"8 young lady in front of him, looking down on him with a look only someone of royalty could muster up.
"Sure." She replied confidently. "I'm your daughter. Mom died in child birth." Kenshin sighed and looked at his brown boots shamefully. "That isn't what happened, is it?" She quarried. Sitting down next to her supposed father and putting an arm around him for encouragement.
"No. Not at all, Aurelia." He mused. "You're mother was very beautiful." Kenshin strained to remember her features, not that he could ever forget them. "She had long silver blond hair, and deep blue eyes, just like yours!" Aurelia smiled at the comment.
"Go on!" She encouraged him to go on with his description. "What was she like?"
"I…don't really know." He replied, and watched as Aurelia's face dropped.
"What do you mean?" She asked, puzzled.
"She died a few hours after your birth." Kenshin paused, waiting for Aurelia's delayed reaction.
Aurelia frowned. "How?"
Tell her, man! You knew it would come to this! Sometime, you just have to tell her the truth! "By my hands. It was my fault. I shot your mother, Aurelia. She protected you with her own body. I still remember her white dress, stained with blood." He glanced down, tears dropping onto the carpet floor.
Aurelia's eyes also began to fill with tears at the shocking news of how her mother really died. "But why would you kill a woman you loved?" She asked, confused and hurt.
"It wasn't until she was dead, that I fell in love with her still form." Kenshin confessed.
"But…" Aurelia started.
"I'm not your real father, Aurelia. I found you next to your dead mother and took you in as my own. You real father never saw your sweet face." He caressed her soft face with his rough hand affectionately.
Aurelia said nothing, but tears were pouring down her face a mile a minute. "Where's my real father?" She questioned.
"He's dead also. He was killed the same time as your mother, only separated."
Aurelia's tears poured even more.
"You probably don't want me anymore." He muttered. "I'm not your real father."
Aurelia shook her head. "You may not be my father, but you'll always be my dad!" She whispered, hugging him lovingly.
Kenshin smiled at the young lady he had raised. "Go." He whispered back, motioning towards the door.
"Are you sure?" She asked, just double-checking.
"Go find your future." He reassured her, smiling.
She nodded, flashed him one of her million dollar smiles, and ran off to get Lunar Eclipse.
"I'll miss her." Kenshin told himself, before walking into the kitchen to pig out on Mango Flavored Ice Cream. (AN: Yes! That's what I'm doing!)
"Let's go, Lunar Eclipse!" Aurelia confidently suggested to her Gundam. Haruna was stored in her Gundam with some weapons and supplies. As well as luggage.
Kenshin watched as his little girl blasted off into space to fulfill her own wishes, and determine her own destiny.
