Disclaimer: I don't own anything of the gundam pilots nor do I own Usagi, But Tora and Tsuki are mine!
A/N: This fic is like a flashback.. you get the end now and then the story is being re-told showing all events leading up to end plus more!! ^_~. Ja!! PrologueQuatre Winner stared out of the window. He lost three more people who were dear to him. He looked over at three of his friends who were just completely heartbroken. Never in a million years did he think that his supernatural friends and his war friends would ever come together in such an odd romance story. Romance story… right. It was more like a tragic story a newer version of Romeo and Juliet in a sense. In this case there were three Romeos and three Juliets.. except the one couple made the whole story up.
Duo Maxwell sighed for the umpteenth time making Quatre's guilt grow two more sizes. Out of all his friends Duo had to be the most heartbroken out of them all. He had finally found a girl that seemed perfect in every sense except for the one thing that her, her twin (but not identical) sister, and cousin had in common. Somehow Duo managed to overlook that and give this girl his heart, Heero and Wufei were another story. They took a little while longer to understand that something that wonderful had to come with a price and when they had it was too late and the girls were already in danger. Then the whole place burned down before they could get out.
"Hey.." Duo said placing a hand on Quatre's shoulder making him flinch. Quatre looked at him with guilt filled eyes. "It wasn't your fault."
"I can't help but blame myself." Quatre sighed. "They had tried asking me for help after my father had died and I turned them down."
"Out of shock." Duo said.
"You tried so stop kicking yourself, Winner." Wufei said gently from the corner he was meditating in.
"Hnn…" Heero agreed.
"But I tried to understand too late." Quatre felt so guilty. Losing his father was trauma enough since he still kicked himself for that, but losing his three best friends is just plain torment.
"Better late then never." Trowa said wrapping his arms around Quatre.
"No it's not better." Quatre gently pushed out of his lover's hold and went upstairs. He locked himself in the room leaving three heartbroken males, who tried to cheer hiim up despite their pain, and the love of his life.
Quatre found himself looking at the holographic photo album Tora had made for him. Tora was a computer genius, she could build anything out of spare parts. The only reason this holographic machine meant so much to him was not only because the pictures, that came up as a hologram, were of the memories they had when they were kids or that it was given to him for his birthday, or even if it was made out of parts she managed to find from Sandrock. It meant a lot because they were pictures of memories he tried to erasefrom his memory that day he had first found out what they truly were… Vampires. God he felt for horrible now. He could've made things simple and protected them like they had asked, but his mind was on the vcerge of a nervous breakdown as it was and.. he didn't know what to do.
"Tsuki…" He thought sadly looking at a picture of the girl who had gotten Heero to openly admit feelings he had aquired from the short dating period he had with Releana. Another picture of a blonde with the spaghetti and meatball hair style came up. "Usagi…" Crossed his mind and he turned off the machine. He began thinking about everything that happened with this whole thing
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Quatre!!!" Two girls rushed up to him when left the house for the first time in a week. A week has already gone by since his father's death. "Are you ok?? We came as soon as we got you message." They babbled on together. Quatre gave the two a small smile.
"I'm fine, Tora.. Usagi."
"Are you sure. We know you have to go back to the war but we don't want you hurt out there." The taller of the two said tugging one of her two braided pigtails. Quatre took her glasses seeing that they were covered in some dried up clear fluid. "Don't ask!!' She said blushing while he cleaned them.
"She's been stuck doing another project." The blonde with the odd pigtails said. "But are you sure you're ready to go back out there??" Her blue eyes looked out into the vastness of space.
"I'm positive." He said and they both gave him weak smiles. They were hiding something. "Where's Tsuki??" he realized they were short a member. They both exchanged glances.
"She's busy now.." Tora took back her glasses from the blonde.
"What am I missing out on??" Quatre saw the looks they gave each other.
"Well… " Usagi frowned. "We kinda want to go with you.. to the next colony at least."
"Why??"
"A guy is after us… do you remember that time when we were younger and Tsuki hadaccidentally scratched you on the neck when you couldn't figure out how.." Tora looked at her feet looking very guilty about something.
"Yes. I still have the scar."
"Well…." Usagi said. "..her fangs were growing in and she accidentally scratched when her mouth was open."
"Fangs?? You're kidding right??" Quatre said as they walked him to where Sandrock was.
"As much as I'd hate to tell you this only a week after your father died.." Tora looked up at him wanting to cry. "But we're not kidding." She opened he mouth wide showing the fangs that were now appearing. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She snapped her outh shut mumbled a quick excuse and left him and Usagi.
"What is going on??"
"The three of us.. we're what is commonly known as vampires." Usagi said watching shock pass through his eyes. "you know what is stereotypically considered blood sucker who have to suck every night. Aren't allowed to come out during the day because they'll burn in the sun, can't stand the smell of garlic and can't touch crosses." She said quietly. "but that's only stereotypically." She said. Quatre just studdered out a few words that made no sense.
"I-I-I-.." He stood there.
"Go… get your thoughts together." Usagi said crying herself. "I'm sure our paths will cross again someday." She said walking away with tears falling. He stared in total shock but left realizing every second he stayed more lives were lost.
