AN: Sorry it took me so long to put this up. Hope you like it! (
Chapter 1 – A fresh undisturbed mind
"You were a little slow, but that we can fix easily. Now to the training... oh before that, I have to ask you, do you go to a school anywhere?" asked J.
I shook my head in shame. All I ever knew was what Odin had told me, so usually it was about something to do with mechanics. I had never had proper education anywhere. I slowly met his horrified face and turned away quickly. I didn't want him to be mad at me already. It wasn't really my fault that I never went to a school. I was a fast learner.
J's face returned back to a normal emotionless face.
"I see. This may be harder than I thought. Well then, I'll get you into a school as soon as possible. One of the tests is how you will manage at school," said J taking out his laptop and put it onto the dining table. He began typing away and beckoned for me to come and look. He was hacking into a few systems and enrolling me into the Junior Kates school. I looked carefully, for my instincts told me I would need these skills quite soon.
A maid put a bowl with a stuffed chicken onto the table. I was as hungry as a wolf and my mouth watered as I stared at the lovely meal in front of my face. I had not eaten since lunch and I got hungry quite quickly. I stretched out my hand to grab a piece of food but J slapped my hand away. I wondered what I had done wrong. Did he want me to have table manners too?
"Your training begins now. You need to learn how to starve because you will need to starve for long periods of time in your future," said J taking a piece of chicken for himself. I felt my cheeks flush pink in embarrassment, since the maid was still there. I don't know why I felt embarrassed when she looked at me like that. Was it pity or sorrow that she showed? I never knew.
My eyes started wandering around the room, spotting food everywhere. It was almost as if doctor J was teasing me. I was terribly hungry and could barely concentrate on the screen in front of me. I didn't understand what this training was for. Now I know, and I now know how important that skill was.
"Pay attention," growled J, taking another bite out of his drumstick. My eyes stung because I wanted to cry so much. Suddenly I couldn't hold in any longer and the tears poured down my face. At first they were unnoticeable, but as Doctor J took the last piece of chicken my silence would not last. I moaned and began wiping my tears as they dropped faster and faster.
I thought I had seen J angry before, but this time, he was furious. He jumped out of his seat and threw the chicken out the open window. He lifted his fist and struck my cheek with a powerful force, strong enough to send me back into the wall. I grabbed my cheek and rubbed my aching jaw. My crying had stopped because I was too shocked. This was the first time J had hit me, and this was defianately NOT the last time. In fact, in 1 minute he hit me again after I couldn't answer his question. I started getting doubts. Should I have agreed to piloting a Gundam? After all, I didn't even know what it was. Was I willing to suffer through all this torture, just to live. Maybe it was better not to live.
"Let's get to the real work now," said J suddenly becoming calm again. He grabbed my hand, bruising it as he pulled me into a different room. It looked a lot like a gym. He led me to a huge armchair. My legs barely fit over the end of the seat. He buckled me in and tied my arms and legs to the chair. I wondered what this was for. I was even more surprised when he brought in a machine with almost a score of wires connected to it. As he placed each wire on me I began to get very nervous. I had so many questions yet I knew not to ask. Most of the wires were connected to my head. As J began typing on his machine I began feeling drowsy. All my muscles were stiff and tense and a growing headache began developing in my head.
"Don't show me any emotions, and try and resist as long as you can. I don't want you fainting for the next half an hour," said J.
At first I thought it was impossible. My eyes kept shutting and sweat ran down my forehead. I wasn't sure how much longer I could last. Don't show anything. Soon it hurt so much, I just stop feeling it. It was strange, how I felt nothing but I was pleased. At first I was scared but I looked at J's satisfied face and knew soon it would be over. Then I became bored and the hunger came back. I was beginning to feel the pain again and it was hard not showing the anguish on my face.
"Fine," said J turning off his machine. Quickly my muscles relaxed and sighed in exhaustion. I was exasperated and could barely move a muscle when J took off the wires.
"Alright, now run as fast as you can to a safe place, which is your bedroom. If you are too slow I will hurt you and you will have to get away. Once you are in your bedroom you will be safe," said J taking off the ropes tying me to the chair. I gasped in shock and I could barely move.
"Come on," growled J.
"But I don't know where the be..." I began.
"Go already!"
I jumped up in defeat and struggled to get to the door. J was right behind me and he was barely jogging. I realised I was annoying him and forgot about that pain again. I ran as fast as my legs would take me across the mansion. I guessed he wanted me to find my bedroom. Suddenly I came to a dead end. I was on the second floor looking down onto the first. That's when I saw my name: "Heero Yuy" written on the door. I turned to run down the stairs but J was in my way. He smirked evilly and grabbed my hand, kicking my in the leg. I collapsed onto the ground, wondering how I would ever get to the bottom. His clenched hand flew into my head starting up my headache again. I screamed but he only hit me harder. I stared down at the first floor. It wasn't too far to jump. I took a deep breath and jumped over the railing, closing my eyes. I fell on my arm and heard a crack as it broke. My bones weren't that strong after all. My body ached as I tried to get up. J was running down the stairs already. I looked at the door with my name on it. Now it looked much further away than before. I struggled to get up and raced towards the door. How slowly it edged forward! Nevertheless I got there in the end and flung open the door just before J could catch me again.
"Good. Make sure you are up early tomorrow so you can go to school," said J.
I nodded and turned back to look at my room. There wasn't a bed in sight and it was dark and gloomy. There was nothing but a mat out of hay and a shiny laptop. I swore loudly staring at the piece of paper on the keyboard. I knew J wouldn't let me off that easily.
Heero, I would like you to show me how much you learned today. I want to see this first in the morning. I need you to hack into this website and find me the pin code to get to the building shown on the screen.
My head shook as I reached out for the laptop. How would I ever be able to hack into the website by dawn? The website was open in another window and it wasn't hard to get to their database. All I had to do was find their pin. I tried recalling what J had said earlier in the morning. Suddenly it hit me. I typed in the unregistered code and a massive amount of codes appeared on the screen. Only one was shining in red, the code for the week. I scribbled the code down on my hand with a pen near the laptop and collapsed onto the prickly mat. I was so exhausted I didn't even care how annoying the mat was. To me, rest was heaven.
Of course I would get used to this stuff soon, but I was still young then, and the training was hard. Thankfully, I had school tomorrow so I didn't have to worry about training until the afternoon. Little did I know the hardest training would really be at my school. Little did I know...
