A/N: Oh, I love this. LOL. Well, hope you like this, the fourth chapter! ^_^
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gundam Wing. I do, however, own a sketch pad and a bunch of drawings of characters from Dragon Ball Z and Ronin Warriors, and a Now That's What I Call Music 8 CD that I like making repeat Fuel's song "Bad Day", and some DBZ tapes.. That and some DBZ and GW action figures.. LOL. Just read the story.. Why are you wasting time with the disclaimer? ;)
The Everlasting Story
Chapter 4: Voice From The Past
"What's going on?" The pilot of the unknown Gundam asked as she came to, still strapped into the cockpit of the Gundam, "Where am I?"
"You're right where I left you. We haven't moved you anywhere.. Who the heck are you?" Trowa demanded.
"Trowa... You've grown, though.." The pilot told him, "Last time I saw you, you were so little.."
"Who ARE you?!" He demanded, "I don't know you. Who are you?"
"Trowa, I think she's in shock.." Quatre told him, looking a bit concerned.
"I don't care, Quatre, I want to know who the hell she is." Trowa said, cold with anger. He aimed the Heavyarms' machine gun at the fallen Gundam, "If you want to live, tell me who you are." Trowa warned. The unknown pilot looked up at the huge Gundam.
"You are ruthless, you know that? Just like when you were little.." The pilot told him. Quatre saw a look of hurt on his friend's face, and knew that he didn't want his past memories.
"Who are you?" Trowa asked her, a bit more gentle.
"Mm... You're an excellent pilot, Trowa, ruthless, and just very smart and strong... No, not Trowa.. You're not Trowa.." The pilot said. Quatre looked at his friend.
Not Trowa? What does she mean? Quatre wondered silently.
"How do you know about that?" Trowa asked her.
"You know me, Nanashi....." She said. Quatre saw Trowa jump at the call of 'No Name'.
"WHAT? Midii?? I told you I never wanted to see you again!" Trowa told her.
"I had to, Nanashi. I wanted to see if you could beat me." Midii told him, "You did. It was a fair win. You're smarter than I expected."
"Shut up. I don't see why I'm still not firing this thing." Trowa said, speaking of the machine gun aimed at the cockpit.
"You can't.. Just like you couldn't kill me when you were ten. You let me live then, and you'll let me live now." Midii said, cruel to him.
"Go to Hell." Trowa said, his tone completely vicious.
"What? Don't remember me? I've been watching you since you went to the Colony, and took the name of Trowa Barton, Nanashi. I've been able to. I saw you watch, when your friend Heero self-destructed the zero-one Gundam. And when your other friend Quatre blew you up in the Vay-Eight." Midii chided.
"I remember now... You're Midii Une." He said to her.
"That's right." She said, clearly enjoying her verbal and mental torture of Trowa.
"Stop it, whoever you are. Trowa's my friend, so leave him alone!" Quatre told her, on the verge of tears at this point. Often he had cried for Trowa, when Trowa hadn't, or wouldn't.
"Quatre, stay out of this, okay?" Trowa asked in a soft voice, obviously noting the tears that were in his friend's eyes, "I can handle her.." Quatre nodded.
"Yeah, right, Trowa. You couldn't kill me if you wanted to." Midii said to him.
"You're right. I wouldn't kill you.. But, I can hurt you. Put you so near death you'll wish you were dead." Trowa told her, his voice cold, and fired her Gundam's head off, then firing into the chest of the defenseless Gundam. The pilot, Midii, screamed and passed out.
Trowa got out of his Gundam and climbed down. He approached the foreign Gundam and opened the cockpit. He took off Midii's helmet.
"You've betrayed me twice now.. I care too much.. I couldn't kill you then, or now." He said to the unconscious pilot. Her blonde hair came down to the seat of the cockpit. He picked up the blood-stained body and looked down at her.
I'm a fool, I should kill her now.. Trowa thought. He wouldn't, though, just like he couldn't seven years ago. When she had betrayed him before. He sighed and came out of the cockpit, holding Midii's still body. She was alive, barely.
He placed her in the hand of his Gundam, and held her somewhat-tightly as they went back to Sanc.
They sat in the living room an hour later. Trowa sat on the arm of the couch, looking down at Midii, who lay under a blanket on the couch.
"What's your problem, Trowa? She's the enemy." Duo asked him. Quatre gave Duo a contradicting look, basically telling him to lay off.
"She used to be a.... Friend of mine.. When I was ten. I couldn't kill her when she betrayed me then, either.." Trowa explained, "I can't kill her.. We used to be really close, back then.. Back when everyone just called me Nanashi, because I didn't have a name until just a little while before I went to earth, when the real Trowa Barton died, and I took the name. She betrayed me then. I was working for some mercenaries on earth, and she betrayed the location to the Federation Army.. At first, I took a more.. Irrational.. Method.. I thought that the soldiers might be selling information to the enemy, so I.. I killed them all.. Then, to figure out then, after that, that it was Midii, my best friend, the whole time.. The ultimate betrayal.. I shot the transmitters, one of which was supposedly a 'symbol of friendship' she gave me, in the shape of a cross, and the other was her pendent, and then I left. I told her I never wanted to see her again, and I didn't.. Until now.."
"That's really sad, Trowa." Quatre said sympathetically.
"It doesn't matter. I just don't care anymore. I'm not looking for your pity." Trowa said, still angry, and harsh. Quatre looked at him, a bit shaken by his harsh tone.
"Sorry." Quatre apologized.
"It's okay.. I should be sorry.. I'm sorry Quatre. I didn't mean to yell.." Trowa said.
Then he looked down at Midii, who was waking up.
"Well? Are you awake, Midii?" Trowa asked, going back to the harsh, cold tone of voice he used when he was very, very angry. She looked up at him.
"Yes.." She answered. Trowa glared at her. She shuddered, knowing that if she said the wrong thing to him now, she could get killed.
"Good." He answered. Still angry, no niceness, none of that old sweetness and innocence she had liked about him seven years ago.
"You've changed, Trowa." She told him.
"I know. I'm not ten years old anymore, Midii, and far from as innocent and naive as I was." He said to her, then shook his head, "By the way, you aren't getting away, so don't even try."
He glared at her until she turned away. Quatre looked at Trowa. Even while piloting, Trowa had never been this cruel to anyone. Not in Quatre's memory. Quatre could tell that Midii, his old enemy, was holding back tears she wouldn't let Trowa see.
"Don't you see it, you, the blonde? He's not the real Trowa Barton. Trowa Barton was killed two or three years ago, somewhere around there. Nanashi here took the name, and so, here he is.. He's not a Gundam Pilot, he's a mechanic and a mercenary." She spat the last sentance out like a curse. Trowa looked at the wall, and Quatre knew the remark had hit home; Trowa was hiding his tears.
Quatre glared at Midii.
"Trowa is my friend! I won't let you hurt him, mentally or physically, Midii. So just SHUT THE HELL UP!" Quatre yelled. He saw faces turn at his sudden outburst. Quatre was the nice guy, the innocent one. And here he was, yelling at someone. Totally not Quatre.
"Quatre, why don't you get some rest, okay? Everyone's a little would up. I'll take care of things here." Trowa said kindly, turning to face Quatre. Quatre saw him wipe off the tears, but it was too late, everyone had seen that he had been crying. Duo and Heero looked shocked, but Wufei didn't seem to notice. In all the time they had spent together, they had only seen Trowa cry once.
"Trowa, I want to stay. I'm not gonna let her hurt you." Quatre told him. He saw Trowa's eyes close for a minute. When he opened them, he had an expression, just in his eyes, that made Quatre think that that must have been what he looked like when he was young. Scared and alone. Like he was afraid, and lonely, but didn't want a friend. He looked at Quatre and whatever Quatre had seen in his eyes was gone, and he was his old self again.
"Go on, I'll be fine. Trust me, okay?" Trowa told him, grinning slightly.
"If you're sure." Quatre said, retiring to his room. Duo and Wufei did the same.
"You know, you should probably rely on others more. Sometimes a friend is needed." Heero told him before leaving as well.
Trowa looked at Midii, who had fallen asleep, and found himself sitting on the floor, thinking of the past. He had flung her away after her betrayal. He knew that that was right. But, after that, he had never trusted anyone that fully again. Was that right? He wasn't sure.
He looked at Midii one more time, then bound her arms and legs with a thick rope.
Then he leaned against the wall, and slept.
A/N: Okay, a little weird, but hey, I must have been in a weird mood when I wrote this. I can't help it, I'm a natural nut. Um, stay tuned for Chapter 5: Tears Of A Warrior! What will happen next? Heh, I'm really starting to wonder if I was hyper when I wrote this, 'cuz I get weird when I'm hyper and me making Heero this nice is definately weird. Heh. Oh well. I guess I should go. See ya.
