"What the hell are you wearing?!" Duo screeched at Quatre.
"Chick Magnet?" Duo's eyes bugged out a bit, and he clenched his fists angrily.
Trowa raised and eyebrow, seemingly amused by Duo's reaction
to Quatre's assemble. "He's jealous." The green eyed boy mumbled.
"Jealous my ass!" The braided baka shrieked. "Besides, it
would look better on me, and it's kinda more of my style anyway."
"He IS jealous!" Trowa gave a slight smile. "Now, now Duo!"
"It's about time the pink bloused boy got a new look." Wufei
murmured.
By now the tree had begun a 'little' debate, more like a
fight.
The boy in the corner didn't speak. He just gazed out the
window in a dream-like way.
"Umm...guys?" Quatre tried desperately to get his comrades'
attention. "Umm...guys?"
"I'll take care of this!" Aurelia smiled at the bewildered
Quatre. "HEY! BASTARDS! STOP BICKERING AND LISTEN UP!"
All three boys turned, their fists locked on one another.
"WHAT?!" They all shouted in unison.
The girl pointed her delicate finger at Quatre, who stood in
the middle of the room looking like a fool. "Umm...guys? This is Aurelia. She's
the pilot I told you about." Quatre quickly announced.
"Miss Aurelia." Trowa bowed respectfully.
"Hey, Babe!" Duo grinned and flashed Aurelia the thumbs up
sign.
Who is
that dumb womanizer?! Aurelia thought to herself, looking Duo up and down.
"Injustice!" Wufei growled. He started into her with his
black eyes, which irritated the girl very much.
They all turned to the silent one in the corner. "Heero?
Aren't you going to say hi?" Quatre nervously asked.
The brown haired boy turned to face Aurelia. "Omae o korosu." He mumbled, looking strait into
the girl. His blue eyes were emotionless, yet they showed a spark of
recognition. Aurelia stepped forward a bit, but stopped herself from running to
the silent boy. He looks so familiar...I
wonder... Her deep blue eyes started to fill with salty tears at the
pressure of his look.
"Hey." Duo walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's OK. Heero says that to everyone. But to the person he says it to over and
over, he wouldn't dream of hurting them."
Heero shot Duo a death glare, to which Duo smiled at his
friend and squeezed Aurelia's shoulder a bit to reassure her. He then stepped
away, leaving Aurelia in the middle of the room, she and Heero starring at each
other like old friends.
Suddenly, a large crashing noise filled the room. "Uh oh..."
Duo gulped. The other's looked on in suspense, waiting for the noise to
reappear. It did just that. A large Taurus came crashing through the roof.
The boys ran in different directions, all looking for a way
to get to their Gundams. But Aurelia stood there, looking up at the massive
rubble falling towards her, waiting to crush her to a painful and lonesome
death.
"AURELIA! RUN!" Quatre screamed to her. But as she tried to
move her feet to dodge the falling blocks of cement, she found she couldn't
move. They were almost upon her now.
She hit the ground, but after the falling sounds stopped,
she realized it wasn't the rubble that knocked her down. Opening her eyes, she
noticed Heero on top of her, shielding her from being crunched. Her eyes
widened, and for the first time, she noticed a sparkle in them and a soft smile
on his face. It quickly went away though, and he returned to Mr. Emotionless.
"You...you saved me!" Aurelia looked into his eyes again,
pure shock written all over her pale face. Maybe it was because he felt it
wasn't right to leave her there or maybe had had an urge to protect something,
or maybe he did have feelings lock up with the rest of his emotions. But he
shielded her with his own body, and she never forgot that, silly as it seems.
"Big deal." He raised an eyebrow at her. "What's your
point?"
She just smiled and shook her head. "Nothing."
"GUYS!" Quatre's voice could be heard from the towering Sand
Rock. "GET YOUR GUNDAMS!"
Heero turned to look at Aurelia again. "You're a Gundam
Pilot?!" He asked sternly, his blue eyes forming a death glare.
"Yes." Aurelia replied. "I am."
He quickly got off her, and stood up, looking down at her.
"If you are a Gundam Pilot, then you are my foe." He told her, turning around
and walking off into the shattered mansion.
Aurelia lay still for a moment, contemplating what just
happened. His foe? How can I be his foe?
After he just risked his own life to save me? Sighing and shaking her head
in shame, Aurelia looked down at her silver locket. She had never opened it
before, and her shaky hands made well to do so.
As she quickly opened the silver heart-shaped locket, she
saw a picture of a woman in it. The woman was very beautiful, with long silver
blonde hair, and the same deep blue eyes that she, herself, had. Aurelia
fingered the picture affectionately. On the other side, was a small piece of
dirty white paper, she took out the little sheet, as the chaos of the battle
raged above her head, she read the note, as if it was the last thing she'd ever
do.
In the shadows to the ruin, a pair of blue eyes watched over
her, keeping her safe from any harm that might come her way. What is she reading? He mused; watching
her read it and weeps. Fighting back an urge to run up to her and take her in
his arms, away from harm. But he couldn't do that. He had all the pride of the
world upon his shoulders, and a perfect soldier wouldn't take mercy and a
pathetic girl.
Aurelia's eyes watered, tears dropping onto her bare legs as
she read. The note was simple, but she read it over and over again, as if she
was trying to grasp it's meaning, or maybe because she just couldn't believe
what was written. The note read:
My
Daughter -
"Unwittingly, I say, for there is no
one so hard-hearted that he would dare to aim his cruel spear against you, if
he knew who you were."
That was all that the note read, and Aurelia dropped to her
hands, curled up into a little ball, and wept. The battle between the four
Gundams and the many Taurus still went on above her, yet she never noticed
them. The debris was everywhere, but Aurelia lay there, weeping more and more.
Heero watched the scene, even his eyes wide, for he had
never seen anyone survive under such circumstances. Maybe it was because he was
to busy surviving them himself. "Huh?" He glanced down at his chest. Why is there pain? He pondered. He never
felt pain there. Not since Odin had been killed...but he strained to forget
that painful memory. Feeling his face to make sure there were no tears, there
weren't. Suddenly, he realized the pain. Looking over at Aurelia, he
contemplated her effect on him. Why does
my heart cry? Who is this girl? Why do I feel like I've missed her all my life?
Taking another look at the girl with debris flying all over
the place, he wondered why he didn't run to her.
Aurelia didn't bother to look up. She knew what was coming.
Curling up into a tighter little ball, and waited. Heero saw this coming, but
couldn't move himself. Trying desperately, he managed to break free of his
trance and run to her, but by the time he got there, it was too late. The
massive piece of rubble had fallen onto Aurelia. "NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" He
screamed at the top of his lungs. Straining his muscles (AN: If that were
possible...^^;;;) Heero tried desperately to shove the piece of large debris
off the small girl. As he struggled, he looked down. Her soft, delicate white
hand was sticking out from under the rubble. In it was a silver locket.
