Opening his eyes to the beauty next to him, Heero let out a sigh of
relief. She's still here, but that means I am going to have to talk to her
about… He could just stare at her, to him she looked so cute, and he
couldn't think about her not being there. Not to wake up and see her there,
to feel that sweet breath upon him.
About to wake her, he stopped. Might as well let her look really cute for a while longer. The others weren't up yet, he noticed as he entered the living room. Heero was in a very pleasant mood; it was starting to scare him. Deciding to make breakfast for too, he headed into the kitchen. Looking around he grabbed what he could. The only thing Heero could successfully make at breakfast was coffee, and pancakes. Setting two plates, and cups on a tray. He flipped a few pancakes and poured the coffee, into the cups. Leaving the rest out for the other, he returned to the room.
**************
The plates crashed to the ground, Heero was shocked. Looking at the bed sat Hoshi. She was curled up in a ball, crying. He rushed over to her. Looking at her lower arms where the bandages were, blood seeped threw them. It's not possible; those wounds shouldn't still be bleeding. He tried to cradle her in his arms, but she seemed to hold back. He knew that he had to get to her slowly, not a fast moving comfort. "Hoshi, what is wrong?"
Not saying anything she lowered her head in shame. He took her arm, and unwrapped the bandages. The wounds had been reopened, taking her by the wrist he gazed angrily at her, "Did you do this to yourself? Why, why do this?" Waiting for a response, he continued, "I know how you feel, I use to do it myself. The reasons changed over the years, mostly emptiness, though I stopped for a while, I started up again." Showing the scars on his arms, she lowered her head even more. "But when I met you, I felt that emptiness melt away. I want to know, I need to know what is wrong Hoshi-Chan."
He had to be patient holding in his anger. He sat beside her, still holding her wrists. After a time of silence, Hoshi started in a low, trembling voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put anyone else in pain, I guess I just screwed up again…" Slight anger reached his face, but she flinched feeling he anger. Eyes softening, "What do you mean you screwed up, you've done many perfect things sense I've known you."
"I went to protect my home, and I couldn't even do that right, I get my friend killed. I try to keep someone from pain I can't do that. I just feel so empty, and when I see how you and all your friends are so happy, it hurts. I am scared Heero, scared of my own shadow. I'm just to weak to go on, I figure that if I cut myself, and give myself pain then someday I'll be strong. And if I die, then I'll just die…"
"Don't say that! You did not kill your friend it was a mistake. We all have that emptiness inside ourselves; some feel it more than others. I will help you get threw this, but you are one of the bravest people I've ever meet. You are not weak…"
"Yea, I am." Getting off the bed and kneeling in front of her, he took her arms gently. "No, your not. You have to stop this you just have to. For me…" He set his hand on her cheek, as she closed her eyes. Moving his hand down her face, and curled around her chin. Slowing forcing her to look up at him. Her eyes lowered slightly, "I don't deserve you, Heero." He searched her eyes, "We cannot judge anyone or ourselves. The Fates can only do that, so how can you say what you deserve or don't deserve. It doesn't make sense in the laws of love, but it is true." He kissed her, and to Hoshi, it washed away many of her fears. Though new ones set in, she ignored them for now. He does love me. Maybe I do have a chance… to fix things. Breaking the kiss Heero got up and sat behind the girl. Putting his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder. "You have to stop this though. Promise me, please. Its not good for you, if we need to get you help them we'll do it…"
"I don't need help. I can do this, with you. But… I promise, no more cuts. But promise me… that you won't either. Even if we are apart I promise, will you promise too?"
"Arigatou. Ai shiteiru my little Hoshi. And I do promise, forever."
"Ai shiteiru, Heero."
I guess I could stop. If he loves me this much, I don't want anyone else in pain. I'll be strong for you Heero. I'll be like you and make it like you have. We'll make it together.
*************
The American had woken up from the sounds of breaking glass. Falling out of the bed, he pulled on his pants, rolling out of the room. Running into the living room, to see who it was. But there wasn't anyone there. "Um, all right. What the hell's going on?" He went into the kitchen, seeing the pancakes; he grabbed one and went around the house. Hearing a noise from Heero's room, he went to listen.
Hearing muffled voices, Duo listened in. Hearing everything, he was astounded by what he heard. Both of what Heero and Hoshi were saying. He had known about Heero cutting himself, but didn't think that, the smiling, always happy girl could do something like that. He also didn't think Heero could ever be so nice to someone. Oops, might want to get away from here before I get caught. Just got a date with a girl, and don't want to have a black eye. Just act normal, well as normal as you can get. Sneaking back down the hall, Duo turned on the TV and flipped it to some cartoon. The others too had awoken by then and entered the room. Yawning Wufei sat down, after grabbing some breakfast. "Hey Duo, how come you never told us that you could make breakfast? But next time you do, don't be so clumsy breaking plates, hum."
Duo smirked, "Me make breakfast, nope sorry not me. Heero made it, I guess. So, tell that to him when those to come out. Whenever they do."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Retorted a voice from the doorway. Sure enough there stood the Japanese man himself. Duo just sat there, he didn't know what to say, for once. "Um, Heero…"
"What do you want?!"
"Is Hoshi, ok?"
Slightly lowering his look, Heero sat down, "Yea, why wouldn't she be, and why would you ask?"
"Because I heard what happened. About her… hurting herself." Heero's head flashed up looking at the American. He couldn't say anything. How could he know, and if Hoshi finds out, what will she do? She doesn't want anyone else to know about it. OK, ok stay cool. "What's going on?" A girl's voice came from the shadows. That's why they call her the Shadow Spinner, Duo though. She looked at Duo, and then at Heero. Tears filled her eyes, "He knows doesn't he. Why did you tell him?"
"I didn't…"
"Well then how the hell does he know what I've done, hum Heero?"
Duo stood up and when over to her, taking her wrist he looked at her. Blushing with an alarmed look upon her face "Duo what do you think your doing?" Unwrapping the bandages, he glimpsed at the cuts. He gazed sadly at Heero and back to Hoshi. "These are pretty bad, girl. Why didn't tell anyone before. Heero loves ya you know. He could help you, we all could. We've all been through this before, at one point or another. I don't know why you do it, and I know you won't again. But we are here for you, remember that." Her expression softened. Giving him a big hug, Duo grinned, "Thanks Duo, all of you. And don't worry I know that Heero does love me." Stepping back Duo smiled, "Hey Heero, better watch her closely, don't want me to steal her now do ya?"
Knowing both meaning to what he said, the man knew he didn't want either. For Duo the guy who could get a date in five minutes flat to take her heart. The other point that the he meant was Shinigami could take her life. Heero loved, her. He knew he could live without her; he just didn't want to be alone. People can live without each other. I have learned that. But they just don't want to the feeling is too wonderful. When you find that right person everything seems so much better. Life isn't so cold, and the pain isn't that noticeable.
The girl sitting next to him snapped him back into reality. "Did you here me, Heero-Chan?" Taking his hand, "I said that we should go see Sora and the others. I haven't been there in a while and they'll be running out of food, and stuff soon. Would you like to come with me?"
Nodding his head, he grabbed both of their shoes, and handed hers to her. She laughed slightly. Eyeing her, "What?"
"Nothing, just you."
"What about me?"
Kissing him, "Like I say, nothing just you."
Putting a pouting look on his face, the man stood up. Taking her hands, helping her up the two headed for the door. Looking over Heero's shoulder the girl smiled, "We'll be back soon, don't miss us or anything."
They shut the door behind them, but Trowa stared at it as if they were still there, "We all will miss you, when you're gone forever…"
Quatre turned to where the man sat, "What did you say?"
"Nani mo nai koto."
*************
After shopping in the market place, using money from Quatre who insisted to take it since it was wrong to steal, the two entered the 'home'. As soon as they had entered the children surrounded them. "Who is that scary man?" Ask one of the children. Laughing, "He's not that scary when you get to know him. Everyone this is Heero Yuy, him and his friend have been helping me out over the past few days. He also helped me get all these things."
Each child thanked him. Though they tried to hug him, they ended up only being able to reach to above his knee. His face angered in embarrassment as Hoshi laughed, "What seems to be so funny?"
"You just look so cute, that's all." Heero's face brighten making her smile grow, "I even got you to blush. Don't worry I won't tell the guys."
"Mommy! Mommy!" A child's shrilled cries came from upstairs. Alarmed Hoshi run upstairs, Heero not far behind.
There in an old office lay a little girl, on an old mattress. The look of fear and pain showed on her sleeping face. She sat beside the little girl, "Sora, Sora, honey wake up." The frighten girl woke up, and looked at Hoshi. Starting to cry she curled up into her arms. Hushing her, "What's wrong Sora-Chan, nightmares again?" The little girl nodded, as she was handed a tissue. "My mommy was there, and I called to her. But she didn't listen to me and disappeared. She didn't want me, why didn't she want me, was I bad?"
Heero sat down by Hoshi, as the child gasped, "Who are you Mister?"
"Just a friend. Its not that your mom didn't want you, she just didn't know what to do." He looked at Hoshi, to see what had happened. As he read her silent lips, he continued. "Its not that you did anything bad, because you didn't. Your mom was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The only ones who were bad were the one who took her away. I cannot undo what they did, but you can change how you live. Making sure there is peace in the colony…" His voice trailed on until his eyes reached the girl again. Stopping at where he was, he smiled slightly as the confused look on her face grew. "I'll just tell you this, you didn't do anything bad. Your mom loved you, and now Hoshi and everyone here does. So chin up kid."
The little girl sniffled and raised her chin into the air, making the two laugh. After giving Hoshi a hug, Sora lay back down. Heero stood up and waited in the doorway until Hoshi made sure she was asleep.
After shutting the door behind her, she kissed Heero. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"What you did in there. She may not understand you now, but she will one day. Thank you for helping out, what made you do that?"
"I was in her shoes before too. Though, I was taken in by Dr. J. and not by a kind home like this. Sure Dr. J. took care of me, but look what I turned out to me, a bloodthirsty monster. And I'm an idiot to think otherwise."
"Oh Heero. I'm not sure what were you were like or what you did. All I see is a wonderful man, who might have killed many people, but has also saved many people. Look what you've done to me; you have helped me so much. And Heero, we all are idiots. That is a downside of being human. Just some idiots aren't as stupid as the others, making them smarter. Which then we get into classifying ourselves. But we shouldn't because we all are idiots in our own ways. I love you Heero, and I don't care if you are an idiot or not, because I am too."
"But Hoshi…"
"Oh just shut up and kiss me." She smiled softly, as he pouted. "Aw, did I hurt your feeling Heero-Kun. Well then I'll kiss you." As she leaned over to kiss him, he pulled her closer. Giggles from the stairs broke the kiss. The two lovers turned to see some of the children standing there. When the children noticed they had been caught they, ran back down the stairs. She laughed as she took Heero's hand and guided him back downstairs.
*****************
Saying their goodbyes, they left the building. Heero put his arm over Hoshi's shoulder, as he looked down at her, "Might as well get back. Duo might come looking for us, not wanting to miss out on some fun he thinks we're having."
"You're not having fun?"
"Did I say that?"
"Maybe. Does that mean I'm going to have to show you around my colony now?"
He didn't look very convinced, "Come on Heero, at least we can go sit in the park for a while. It's a beautiful day, might as well enjoy it."
She started to pull on his arm, until she dragged him to the park across the street. As he finally gave in, Hoshi fell onto the grass. Letting out a small laugh, he stuck out a hand to help Hoshi up. "I am so sorry, are you hurt?" Letting a small grin come to his face.
"Sorta, my pride is hurt more than anything. I just hit my arms again." A more caring expression of worry covered his grin. "I… I didn't mean to. Now I'm really sorry, are your arms ok, they're not bleeding are they."
"No…" A second of uneasiness reached her eyes, but a smirk quickly hid it. Taking his hand while off guard, she pulled him to the grass. Though he resisted he quickly fell next to her. "Kon'nichi wa, Heero. Glad you could join me." She laughed, "Heero, you really need to loosen up soon. Though you look so adorable right now. I told you this park is beautiful isn't it."
Looking around, Heero noticed a small waterfall surrounded by trees. It was beautiful, but he was in a playful mood. "Not really…" She smacked him softly on the shoulder, "Well why not." But I might as well say something sweet, don't want her to be mad. And it is beautiful… "Because I looked at you, and it's much more beautiful then this part." Bingo, I think I said the right thing. Her face grew a bright red, and to hide it she covered her face with her hands. But she felt two hands on her wrists that gently pulled back her hands from her face. "There we go, I though I might have lost my little Hoshi," Come on Heero, not that was pretty corny. I highly think she'll like that. But he was wrong, as she leaned up and kissed him. "Your sweet Heero, don't lose that side of you. Thank you."
"For what?"
"For… for everything. I've always felt out of place, and lost, until I met you. I was on a suicide mission that night, and if it weren't for you, then I wouldn't be here today. This colony is my home I have to protect it; you've shown me that. And whenever I'm around you, my heart doesn't seem so heavy. I don't feel so lost, if I fell anything is found I guess could be the word to use you know. So I just wanted to say thank you."
Kissing her softly, he helped her up. "You're welcome. And thank you, too. For the same reasons, I guess we're both lost and found, ne?"
"Hai."
(go to the last part)
About to wake her, he stopped. Might as well let her look really cute for a while longer. The others weren't up yet, he noticed as he entered the living room. Heero was in a very pleasant mood; it was starting to scare him. Deciding to make breakfast for too, he headed into the kitchen. Looking around he grabbed what he could.

This colony is my home I have to protect it; you've shown me that. And whenever I'm around you, my heart doesn't seem so heavy. I don't feel so lost, if I fell anything is found I guess could be the word to use you know. So I just wanted to say thank you."
Kissing her softly, he helped her up. "You're welcome. And thank you, too. For the same reasons, I guess we're both lost and found, ne?"
"Hai."
