Chapter 22 – Shock'en
Heero walked out of the agency, holding the stuffed up photographs which Jackie didn't want to take along. One was of Di falling over and collapsing on Heero. The other was Di not controlling her laughter. One was where Heero had staggered back in the middle of the shot because he hadn't eaten since the morning. It was quite embarrassing actually.
"Well, I'm sort of relieved that we didn't actually have to kiss, I mean it was a shot where we were ABOUT to kiss," said Di smiling. "Oh, how was school by the way?" asked Di.
"I'm not sure exactly. By the way, when is the magazine coming out again?" asked Heero.
"Domi said it would be at least 3 days because the first day Jackie will be editing the photos, the second day they are sent in and the third is when it actually comes out."
Heero nodded and opened the door to his mansion. He stared at his watch and sighed in exhaustion. He really didn't want to go to school tomorrow and he was sure there was some homework he was supposed to do.
Heero took a look at his schedule and realised it was the athletics carnival. His memory was really getting at him at this time of night. He took out a little diary with his appliances in it. He was in the: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1600m sprints, the long jump, high jump, shot put, javelin, discus, and some other small things which weren't that important.
Heero slipped on his usual green tank top and black shorts and rushed out of the mansion without saying goodbye. He needed a warm up for the carnival and since the carnival wasn't that far away he decided to sprint to the carnival.
In about five minutes Heero had arrived at the carnival not even breathless. He seemed to be early again because there weren't that many people there, and those that were, were stretching or warming up on the field. Heero slowly made his way up to the stand and took a seat under a shady part on the stand. A little gang sat in a corner playing chess. Obviously the boy who 'tried' to protect Heero yesterday from the 'bullies' was from that gang.
"Hey new guy," exclaimed someone from behind him suddenly. Heero spun around to see the boy who had attacked him yesterday again.
Heero's eyes narrowed and he stood up straight to face the boy again. When he saw the boy wasn't hostile he relaxed.
"What are you competing in?" asked the boy.
"Everything," Heero answered coldly.
"Well then, I'm only competing in the track events. I just came to tell you, I'm going to win," said the boy before turning around and walking off. Suddenly the nerdy boy stood up from his gang and walked towards the bullies.
"Stop bugging the poor new boy or else he'll leave as soon as he came," exclaimed Nerd (*I'm just gonna call them nerd and bully ok? I can't think of a name and its too confusing).
"Well, that's what we want isn't it?" asked Bully picking up the nervous Nerd.
Heero thought of coming to save him, but then again all boys had to learn to live on their own. No one ever came to save him so why would he save this idiot? Bully pulled his hand back to punch only for it to be caught by someone. The hand was twisted back making Bully collapse. A tall blonde boy let go of his hand and smirked evilly at him.
"I wouldn't do that Bully. See, its not good to fight someone who's not your own size," said the boy.
Bully nodded and turned back to Heero as if taking a hint from the blonde boy. He raced towards Heero while his gang quickly sneaked away from the stand. They didn't want to see their leader getting beaten up by a new guy. Bully raced towards Heero as fast as he could and suddenly the blonde boy looked worried and raced after Bully. At the last minute when Heero was about to get punched he lifted his leg and flipped Bully out of the stands, causing him to have a nose bleed. Bully screamed and rushed away from the stands in humiliation as the nerds looked at him.
"Thankyou Raven," exclaimed Nerd before returning to his gang.
"Raven?" asked Heero questioningly.
The blonde boy walked up to Heero gave out his hand to shake but Heero completely ignored the hand. The blonde boy coughed nervously and took his hand away. He gave a small smirk and his name turned serious.
"I'm just called Raven. I don't know why. Since its actually a name I just use that now," said the blonde boy.
Heero nodded turning his attention back to the field. A loudspeaker announced for the 100m sprint competitors to line up in the marsh area. Both Raven and Heero stood up and headed for the marsh area.
"What races are you going in?" asked Raven.
"Everyone," answered Heero making Raven's face turn to a very astonished face.
"Hey, where did you learn to fight like that?"
"That's my business."
Raven closed his mouth. Why was this boy so unfriendly? Was he one of the bullies? No, he couldn't be because he wasn't attacking him for no reason, but he wasn't one of the super friendly people either. In fact, Raven couldn't think of the correct group for Heero at all so he couldn't suggest anything to the new boy.
"I'm sorry I can't help you fit in," said Raven as they lined up in the same line.
"I don't need to fit in," said Heero. He looked at his competitors. Besides Raven, he saw Bully, Nerd, and Sam. It was strange how they almost all of them wanted to beat him against something. He didn't want to beat anyone. He just wanted something to do instead of just sitting in the stands. He turned his head to Bully who glared at him and showed him a death sign. Heero wasn't bothered by it in the least and turned back to the track, looking carefully at the finish line.
"On your marks, get set," exclaimed the teacher. He fired his gun into the air and Heero raced off at immense speed. His legs hurt because he was running way too fast than what was good for him, but he liked the pain. At least it showed he was working hard. He threw his head forward as he cross the line and turned just to see Raven finish next, followed by Bully, Sam and last of all Nerd.
Heero forced his legs to walk forward and collect his 1st prize, but he was already being called to shot put and he had no time to waste.
Obviously he won everything he went in and received the medal of the athletic boy of school of the year. The people in the stands were cheering him as he collected the medal, and without a smile returned back to his seat in the stands. Finally he sat down in exhaustion. His legs ached horridly because he had broken them many times before. He quickly took out a bandage from his bag and began 'fixing' his legs. Raven slowly approached him and saw what Heero was doing and his face turned to concern.
"Heero are you alright?" asked Raven.
"No," answered Heero bluntly.
"Do you want me to go get a teacher or something?"
"No."
"Don't you want the pain to stop?"
"No."
Raven sat down dumbfounded. He just didn't get the guy next to him at all. Maybe he was planning on committing suicide or something? Well then, it was his job to stop Heero from inflicting any damage on himself and the first thing he had to do was tell the teacher about Heero's legs. He quickly raced down the stair to find the sport teacher he liked the most. (I know, I'm making Raven sound like such an OMG!!! Hehe… anyway... back to the story ^_^)
Heero finished bandaging one of his legs up and cursed in anger. They were hurting from a simple little sprint. Couldn't he push him self beyond his stupid small limits? He really needed to get his shape together or else he couldn't be the perfect soldier anymore. Quickly he threw his first into his second knee, shooting up a pain across his whole leg. Even his punches weren't as good as before.
"Heero! Heero stop that," exclaimed a teacher rushing towards him.
"What do you want?" asked Heero coldly.
"I wanted to check that your leg is ok, but it obviously doesn't look good."
Heero glared at the teacher and Raven who looked around innocently. He turned back to his second knee and quickly bandaged it up, checking his watch. A lot of people were leaving already and he should too.
He swung his bag across his shoulder and walked down the stairs, followed by the sports teacher and Raven. He opened the gate and hit his foot against the wall again. Another pain shot up his legs making them ache much more. Now at least this would be a small test.
If I don't sprint all the way home without collapsing in pain then I'm still alright but if I don't I'll have to do something about it and soon thought Heero.
"Heero, what are you doing? Look, Heero that is bad for your legs so can you..." before the teacher could finish Heero raced off into the street, dodging a car which nearly ran over him.
Raven shook his head in confusion. Maybe it would be better if he payed him a visit tomorrow or something.
"Tell him not to go to school tomorrow," said the sports teacher. "If he's alive by tomorrow".
Raven nodded in agreement and took a look at the class list. According to the class list, Heero lived in a huge mansion. If that was true he was definitely skipping school tomorrow and going to go find Heero.
Heero raced across the road as fast as he could. His legs were practically killing him but he had to make it to the mansion without collapsing. He sighed in relief when he saw it in sight. Quickly he raced to the door step and flung open the door. At least his endurance level was still the same. Maybe he had been worried a little too much.
"Heero, there's a call for you," screamed Susy taking the phone to Heero. Heero widened his eyes. No one had called him for about 2 years now since he was not going on mission currently.
"Heero, how are you?" asked the person on the other side.
"Get to the point," growled Heero, recognising Raven's voice. He was such annoying guy, even worse than Duo.
"Ok, well basically the sports teacher told me to tell you not to go to school tomorrow and rest your legs and I'm coming over tomorrow too," exclaimed Raven.
"No you are not!"
"OK!!! FINE!!! It was worth a try..."
Heero threw the phone down in anger. He took out his laptop and connected Ami's laptop to it. This was his mission and he needed to complete it.
:: Data Transfer::
....................................
:: Complete ::
Enhance program and update?
Finally Ami's program was completely in the laptop though Heero knew there was a system in the magic that he needed to program himself. Heero quickly typed in NO and began researching and tearing apart the codes in the program. It would be a while before he would get the system running properly.
"Susy, why do the four new scouts have to unite and why won't they?" asked Heero.
Susy sighed. This question was hard to explain to someone who hadn't learned Scout history from the beginning but Heero had a right to know at least some of the history, since they had mixed him up in it anyway.
"The legend goes that there are 5 princes, some people say there are 4 but they are 5. The 4 new scouts are each destined to one of these princes and if we unite they will appear, but there are 5 princes and only 4 new scouts meaning that something has been majorly changed. The other scouts don't know this but I've done some research of my own. I will not unite because if we unite the fifth scout will arise much sooner and become completely evil. On the other hand I get a feeling the fifth scout is already wandering around somewhere and may be evil already. Its pretty hard to explain, but we just can't unite. If there are 5 of us and we are all on the side of good we can unite and any evil at the time will be destroyed.
But, Pluto had mentioned that even though the new 4 scouts are destined to their princes they will not be with them at the end, and the goddesses will receive the princes," said Susy.
Heero shook his head in confusion. Her paragraph just made things even more confusing for him, and at the same time made sense.
"Ok, well why won't you guys pledge your loyalty to the queen, Sailor Moon?" asked Heero.
"That is a different thing. We did not pledge loyalty at first because Endymion was evil and if we pledged loyalty we could have been turned evil. Now that Endymion is with Sailor Pluto there still may be problems. You see, when we pledge loyalty we become the servers of the planets and the old scouts become goddesses. That is not our problem, but we will have to leave to our planets and live there solitary for a really long time, and guard the planets, until the goddesses return to their home planet causing the planet to flourish and turn like the earth, but we will still never be able to leave out planet. So we will die there and we do not wish it first. Of course, if that was the only problem we would agree. We also have to find the princes on earth because it is preferred that the future is changed and we do end up with the legendary princes instead of the goddesses. There is of course, one more reason which is...," Susy stopped herself from saying anymore.
She stared into Heero's eyes dreamily and suddenly snapped out of it. No, if anyone was going to get him it was Aphro, Mercury or Hade. She could not mess in things. She could love him as his mother but nothing more than that.

Ami grabbed a magazine which had just arrived at her mailbox. She was growing weary of all the things she had to do and rushed back inside her house. Opening the first page in the magazine Ami almost collapsed in shock.
I knew it! He didn't love me! He didn't even care about me. He just didn't want to feel guilty if I died at that park. His kiss wasn't even real, but a fake. I can see now that he really loves Di. thought Ami as she threw the magazine in the fireplace.
"I should have never left! I want to go home," exclaimed Ami to the fire.
"Oh Ms Mizono, poor girl. That Heero wasn't worth it you know, but if you want I can take you back to Japan for a little holiday. You can come back here any time," said a nice woman behind Ami.
"Who are you?"
"Someone who knows you better than anyone in the whole world. I am..."
CLIFFIE!!! I think I'm getting better at these cliff hangers :P Hope you enjoy it. Some excitement is coming up very soon!
