Lily


Notes: Hey everyone! Sorry that this took so long. Things are still crazy around here. ~_~;
Anyhoo, Rei fans will like this chapter...it's mostly about her and why she got so mad at Usagi.
TISSUE ALERT!! TISSUE ALERT!! Enjoy!


Lily tried her hardest to keep up with Heero as he practically dragged her down the hall.
"Heero!" she panted, "Please slow down!"

After a few minutes of her begging, he finally decided to stop for a moment. Lily paused to
catch her breath, then stood up straight and faced Heero. "Why did you hurt Ami?" she asked
angrily, "She's my friend!"

Heero's cold blue eyes stared straight back at her. "You should thank me for not killing her.
Friend or not, I can't let her get in the way of the mission."

"Then why didn't you kill her, hmm?" Lily asked.

Heero paused for a moment. He didn't kill her because he didn't want to hurt Lily. He knew that
it would break her heart. He couldn't help but give in to her pleas. How could he admit that to
her? Heero simply grunted, grabbed Lily by the hand and said, "Let's go." That said, he took off
down the hall.

~Main Storage~

Rei sighed as she glanced at her watch. It could get pretty boring waiting all alone baby-sitting
this huge robot thing! She sat down and tried to think of something happy. It was no use. She
really wished that there was someone else with her. Someone who could talk to her and get her
mind off of things of the past. A tear fell from her eye as she remembered the events from the
last few weeks......

~flashback~

"Rei!" a man's voice yelled. "Hurry and wake up! You're going to be late for school!"

A very sleepy and unhappy Rei emerged from her bedroom. "Grandpa," she mumbled, "It's
Saturday..."

As the weeks went on, things got worse....

Rei was cleaning up the dishes from dinner, when her grandpa took her by the hand. "Oh, Rei.
You don't have to that! That's the waitress' job!"

Rei looked at her grandfather, confused. "Grandpa, we don't have any waitresses at our home."

Grandpa chuckled. "Oh, of course not, silly! But they have them here!"

"Grandpa?! What are you talking about?!?! We're home!" Rei shouted, aggravated.

"Oh, come on, Rei." Grandpa said with a smile. "Just get your coat and let's go home. I'll let you
drive!"

Rei looked at her smiling grandfather as a tear fell from her eye. "What's wrong with you,
Grandpa?"

~Two Weeks Later~

Rei sat patiently in a chair in the hospital's waiting room, her face filled with worry. She had to
call an ambulance because her grandfather jumped out the window, thinking that he could fly.
She couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, why he had been acting so strange lately.

A moment later, a doctor walked into the waiting room. "Hino Rei?" he asked.

Rei stood up. "That's me." she said. The doctor walked over to Rei, motioned for her to sit
down, and sat down in the chair next to her.

He gave her a a sympathetic look. "Miss Hino, your grandfather's injuries from the fall aren't
serious. They should heal in no time, however there is something else."

"What is it?" Rei asked, her voice a bit shaky. She wondered what could possibly be wrong.

The doctor paused for a moment. "I'm sorry," he started, "But we've run some tests and
confirmed that your grandfather has Alzheimer's that is progressing at an extraordinary rate. I've
never seen a case this bad."

Rei stared right at the doctor for a moment, her mind was numb. The words just wouldn't
register in her head. They refused to. "I'm sorry," she said, "I don't understand."

The doctor sighed. "I'm very sorry, Miss Hino."

"NO!" Rei shouted and she stood up from her chair and ran to her grandfather's room. She ran
through the door and up to her grandfather's bed. "Grandpa!" she yelled.

Her grandfather looked over at her. "Hi." he said, "Who are you?"

~end flashback~

Rei felt something wet on the palm of her hand. Blood. She had clenched her fist so hard that
her nails dug right through her flesh. She looked down at it, but ignored it. Tears poured from
her eyes as she sobbed quietly. She remembered everything after that. She just didn't act the
same. She had treated everyone like an enemy, and when Usagi was late for a meeting one day,
she took everything out on her..
