Chapter 7
- What happend in here!
Duo, for once, was unable to answer. He just stood and stared. Heero walked up to him and shaked
him hard, but it was to no use. The always babbling Duo was now speachless.. Heero sighed and
looked at the girl. He was walking near by when he had heard the scream and had rushed into the
medical center as fast as he could. He watched a bit from the window what was happening. He
had clearly seen the gleaming in the girl's eyes. He had a feeling that it wasen't normal, and it
somehow hurted him to bring her back to the cold girl she was. She had finally been able to show
something, even though it was bad, but she had to already cover it up. However, he had
not seen the scenes in her eyes, like Duo had. Heero shook his head and walked out as Duo sat down
on a chair besids the girl's bed, and he took her hand.
- Stupid Oz.. Stupid federation.. Stupid colonies.. Look at what've they've done to you.. Look..
He kept them on repeating over and over, not stopping until he fell asleep, head just aside her
motionless hand. He dreamed about scientists around him, ready to open him up to check his body,
their glasses being huge, and always a cold laugh coming out of somewhere..
- This girl is getting weirder by the day..
- Well it's not her fault!! You weren't the one caged like an animal with men with bugged eyes
staring at you 24/7!
- It's the first time i see you defend someone so much Duo..
- Well.. uh.. I.. Erm.. You see.. Ah the hell!
Duo stormed off, leaving poor Trowa speachless at his friend's action. Duo hadn't been himself
since the last incident with Crystal. He was always stressed, stammering, nervous.. Nothing like
the Duo they all knew, the god of death. Trowa shook his head towards the direction Duo headed
to. He didn't go to the girls room since 2 days, wich was even weirder since he spent all of his
free.. and non-free time.. There with her. Heero was the one now almost hanging around her,
but he always had the curtains closed in the clinic's room so nobody could see what was going on
in there. Nobody even had an idea, knowing how their leader was.. Trowa shrugged off his thoughts
and went to meet with Quatre. At least somebody to talk to.
- Scientists you say..
- Yes.. Always with big glasses.. Studying..
- Did they open your skin?
- Several times..
Heero nodded. He started to like to talk to Crystal, even though she had no emotions at all her
voice, wich he thought would sound much more better with the melodious tone it had. He had
started to come more often since Duo stopped coming around. When he mentionned him, Crystal
just said nothing. It was like she didn't remember him at all, that her mind was locked on only those
scientists and her past environment. Heero had asked alot of questions on them, the cage and
all the surrondings, and no places he knew were recalled. He made a very detailed report and sent
it to the headquarters to try to localise something. It would take a few days so he got more
information from Crystal, wich she always answered without a complain.. A bit like Wufei, he
realized, but much more.. emotionless.
- Did they add parts in you?
- Parts.. Material.. Add.. Joined.. Attached to..
- Yes, anything non biological, or that dosen't belong in the human body?
- ..No data held.
Data held.. it sounded so electronical like.. They must have taught her to talk like so, Heero
thought, lost in his thoughts again. The girl was too cold to be a normal human.. So he had came
up with the hypothesis that some parts, maybe a program chip or a metallic part, was added into
her and made her unable to have feelings like normal human beings. Even hard trained warriors
like him had feelings, as much as he could hate it. Much more than once they had weakened him
and almost made some missions fail. But somehow he could always get a strong grip over his thoughts
and it would all fly away fast. Heero closed his eyes and rose, and walked out of the room. When
the door closed, Crystal was still standing where she was, still like awaiting. She stood there,
not moving, slowly breathing and staring ahead of her. Her eyes were back to their cold state.
No more pictures were flashing in them, no more gleams of fear, of hate, or of any other feelings
that could have passed there. The sun came down late, making the room bathe in an orangish
color, wich reflected in Crystal's long black hairs, and white like skin. It gave her some normal
features. Anybody passing there would have seen that, but the hall was empty. Not a doctor,
soldier or pilot was around. The sun then finally came at a rest, leaving the room in perfect
darkness almost, with only a shadow standing there.. Unmoving.. Barely breathing.. Coldly staring
at the door..
