The little girl glanced around the moderately large boutique; it wasn't as great as the Goth looking girl that her Uncle Duo obviously liked said. It was boring, and not to mention the people there talked funny.
"Um, what exactly are we looking for again?" Mika asked.
Julia frowned as she looked at a blue flower. "What do you mean?"
"Uh, what I mean is when does this store get fun?? Cause I'm bored and a lot of peoples are going to the big tower thingy where Daddy and Uncle Duo and the strange man are," she explained with a tilt of her head.
"Whatever, your daddy is um, having troubles right now sweetheart so why don't we just." she glanced franticly around the room, searching for something amuse the little five year old. How hard could that be? Hard. "Uh, would you look at the.pretty kitty!!"
Mika titled her head and gave Julia a strange look. "What are you talking about? There's no kitty here, you silly lady."
Julia grinned sheepishly and pointed wildly at a group of gray and white kittens in a golden cage type thingy. If anything could amuse Mika, a cat would be it.of course Heero would kill her for giving his daughter a kitten while he was having an early life crisis but hey, that's his problem not hers.
Mika gasped and ran to the cage and began petting all of the six kittens one at a time, of course. "AWW!! They're so CUTE!! Aw, I wish I could take you all home with me!"
Julia smiled; finally she could shop in peace. Mika turned to her, her face glowing with innocence.
"Um, Lady that my Uncle Duo is so in love with can I have a kitten, PLEASE!!!" she blinked innocently, bright blue orbs bright with forced tears.
"Uh, um if I say yes will you make sure your daddy doesn't get mad at me?"
Mika nodded her head quickly, her face glowing. "Uh huh!"
*()*)(*@*@#*$*$*$
Heero looked anxiously at the faces around him, it obvious that no one was about to tell what a peace advisor was. That's not fair, it was bad enough that everyone knew something that he didn't.
He frowned, why don't they want to tell him? Heero crossed his arms and sat down on the gravel. // Why are they looking at me like I'm some kind of pathetic animal. //
"Heero, are you feeling okay?" Duo asked, worriedly.
His conscious was killing him; he knew he should have stayed with him instead of watching Mika.
Heero narrowed his eyes and glared at Trowa, ignoring the concerned Duo.
"You don't expect that to work do you? You don't scare me, Heero. I'm not going to take your actions personally because I know your not in your right mind," Trowa stated.
"How do you know if I'm in my right state or not? I'm fine but I would prefer it if you guys stop leaving me out of things, I have feelings too," Heero retorted quietly.
"No one is leaving you out, it's all in your head. You hit your head very hard and your hallucinating," Trowa pointed out, matter of factly.
"Please Trowa, I've had just about enough of this. Will someone please tell me what the hell is going before I storm out of here and find my daughter in a suicidal rage," Heero glared at everyone, crossing his arms indignantly.
Duo looked at him in shock, was he serious? He was a danger not only to himself but to Mika as well, but then again he was always a danger to himself. Trowa frowned, this was not quite the reaction he had expected Heero was acting well, Heeroish he was acting like his old self. No seriously he old self from the war.
Heero fought the urge to smirk, his plan was working perfectly the fools didn't know what was coming for them. And they think he was crazy, ha the fools.
"Well? What's it gonna be? I have no time to waste, so please make it easy on all of us and tell me your answer."
Duo was the first to recover. "Heero, have you lost your mind?? You'll kill Mika on accident if you don't watch it! Not only that, you'll kill yourself too. what's wrong with you?"
The perfect soldier narrowed his eyes and turned his fierce glare onto his so-called brother, Michael. "I now understand why Dr. J did not want me to see you, I was a fool to disobey him. all these years," he added quietly.
With that said, he turned his back and walked into the directions of the shops, loading his gun to make sure they understood he wasn't retreating. Duo appeared beside him, his violet eyes wide with amazement.
"Wohoo! You sure told him a thing or too, buddy! I don't know but I've got a feeling that old Heero is back in town," he smiled.
"That could be a good thing or a bad thing," came the monotone reply.
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know, its up to you. where is Mika?"
Duo froze, glancing around the block nervously, Heero was already mad about the past days events but he knew if he couldn't find her in the next two minutes he was as good as dead. He laughed nervously.
"Hehe, funny you should ask that. I kinda left her at the coffee shop with Julia that was over an hour ago. his voice trailed off.
Heero made no reply; he was so confused all these different feelings, thoughts and emotions were running wild in his head. He could see that little girl and her dog again, it was just like it happened yesterday; the explosion, the mobile suit crashing into the apartment building where she lived, he tried so hard to find her but he knew he couldn't save her the least he could do was give Mary, her dog, a resting place. He frowned as his mind showed the images of that day's events over and over again, like a broken record.
"How many times must I lose that girl and her dog?" he whispered quietly.
Duo tilted his head; Heero's stride went from confident with a little limp to sad with a big limp making it apparent something was wrong with his leg. How he managed to not give in to pain was a mystery to the former Deathscythe pilot. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," he hissed.
"Shesh! Excuse me for being a good and caring person, it's not my fault I care about my friends you know."
"Duo, shut up."
"Grrr," Duo curled his fists in an attempt to calm himself, he had never felt so angry in years. Not to mention he was furious for no reason.
"Don't bother wasting your time being here Duo, why don't you just catch the next plane to States and return to your normal job. I don't need you anymore," he said coldly.
His words stung like ice, how could he be so cold? After all Duo had done for him? "I'm not here because I want to be, I could be on my vacation right about now on some island far away from certain people. But no, I was worried about my best friend in his time of need. So I came here, went totally out of my way just for some ungrateful ass, who couldn't care less if he died. I'm too nice for my own fucking good; I let my feelings for you cloud my judgment. But you know what? My feelings for you haven't changed, I still feel sorry for you."
Heero stopped walking and looked behind at him, his face in both an appalled and a confused expression. Why did Duo feel sorry for him? Why did he suddenly feel so lonely even though he was on the trail of getting his life back in order? And most importantly. why did he care???
*( ****!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Mika smiled happily as she held her new kitten, which she named Jewel for her beautiful blue eyes that shown like diamonds. Jewel purred contently, it was about time she found a home! While Julia smiled fondly at the two, then she noticed a couple feet away on the other side of the street there stood two figures. They were both boys, one turned around and stared at the other in disbelief while the other with a long braid folded his arms across his chest.
"Heero Yuy, I've never felt more sorry for anything than I do for you. You had no childhood what so ever, it amazes me how you turned out. Your life is marked with death and destruction; you push away all those who care about you. She loved you, more than you ever knew she still loves you and you love her very much but she doesn't know that. She thinks you guys were a one-night stand, she's moving on found a new man, whom I still need to see for myself." the taller figure with the braid added thoughtfully. " And it crushes you that the woman you love is with another man, your suicidal. You love her so much if she told you to jump off a cliff you would do it no questions asked."
"No I would not." Heero said quietly.
Julia quickly put her hand behind Mika's back and lead her to a small shop so she could buy some toys for Jewel, she couldn't let her see them not now.
"Yes you would! Don't deny it! Here's a cell phone, call Relena tell how you feel I can promise you she'll feel the same way. She's only with the guy to get back at you, to say "Hey! I can do better than you". C'mon Heero do it, and I'll continue from there," he tossed him a cell phone.
Heero only stared at it, his brain not knowing how to respond for once in his life he didn't know what to do. He glanced around and saw a little girl he instantly recognized as his own; she couldn't see him like this.
"Are you serious? What if she likes him more than she likes me?" he asked in a small voice.
"You'll never know until you try! Besides, you've got nothing to lose you have a concussion so even if she does say she likes him more and asks you about it later you can always say you have no idea what she's talking about!" Duo winked. "Now come on! The suspense is killing me!!"
// Relena?? // Mika thought. // Those guy's voices sound familiar. like. Daddy's and Uncle Duo's! But I thought they were at the really building, but I thought daddy didn't like Relena why is Uncle Duo saying he does? // She ignored Julia's almost frantic attempts to get her into a small pet shop.
Mika looked over to where the voices where coming from, two guys were crowded along the cell phone both anxious to see what happened next. But the shorter one was not sure.
"Duo will you stop it?!" he barked. "I'm not sure if this is a such a good idea. shouldn't this wait until we get home?"
"Nah!" Duo dismissed the thought. "Are you mad? This is your chance to get the girl of your dreams, assuming you like her. you DO like her right?"
Heero tried to swallow but there a lump in his throat. "Um. well. I dunno. I just don't know anymore."
"Okay, I'll take that as a yes you love her. That's good enough for me, what I wonder about though is how Mika's gonna take it when you and Relena hook up. You know she doesn't like Relena right?"
"Of course! You'd think I know my own daughter, she'll just have to get used to having Relena around that's all."
Mika crossed her arms on her chest, to the best of her ability she did not like one bit where that conversation was going. If someone were going to knock some sense into Heero it would have to be her.
"Jewel what do you say that we save daddy?" she whispered into a little gray ear. "Oops, my bad you don't know daddy, but you will soon! He is the most wonderful guy ever, he does everything for me but lately he's been acting strange I think we should get to the bottom of it. what do ya say?"
Jewel meowed loudly as if saying 'oh hell yeah let's save this daddy!' She looked around excitedly wondering where 'daddy' was, but she didn't see anyone who looked like daddy. She meowed again, "Meow, Mreow meow?" Translation: Where is daddy?
Mika grinned ear to ear like a Cheshire cat. "That's the spirit! You see that guy over there?" she pointed at Heero. "Him, with the short hair pushing the other guy away? That's my daddy, isn't he great?"
The kitten tilted her little head. "Reow? Meow reo-reow?" Translation: That is daddy? You guys look nothing alike!
"Yup, that's my daddy who needs us to rescue him whether he knows it or not!"
"Mika, what are you talking about?" Julia asked pointing an accusing finger at the duo.
Mika twisted her foot on the ground, an action that was not missed by Heero while Jewel just looked the other way. Both tried to look as innocent as possible, hopefully she didn't notice.
Meanwhile.
Heero chuckled to himself; aw, she was quite a character. He knew Mika's behavior so well he could write a couple books about it. The girl was so sane, so human and he loved her for that but then again he couldn't have loved her more the first minute he laid eyes on her. What was he doing calling Relena confessing his undying love for her? That was insane, I mean seriously who would want to do that? It's Relena for crying out loud, she could wait until he gained his right state of mind before he said anything to her.
He smiled softly as he hang up the cell phone, folded it and handed it back to Duo. "I can't do this, not now. Not never. I have more important things to do and not getting caught by my daughter is one of them."
"What do ya mean?"
"Look at her, you see the way she's acting? She's guilty of doing something, and I know it involves me. She's got it in her head that I need to rescued, which is ridiculous and she's probably not happy with you either."
"What? Why not?" Duo demanded, the last thing he wanted was for Mika to hate him. He had seen the extent of her hate and did not wanna go there. But her loyalty to Heero was cute, even he had to admit it, she loves Heero just as much as Relena does they both adore him. "You know I think it's sweet she's so worried about you, though it should be the other way around don' t ya know."
"I know! What am I? Retarded? No, I'm sorry but I don't have time for her. I need to get something very important." He continued walking for a minute before pausing and turning around. "If you wish to follow me, go right ahead. It makes no difference to me either way, do as you wish."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Alright lady that my Uncle Duo likes I'll go with you," Mika looked up at Julia who let out a sigh of relief.
They walked into the Pet Shop and the little girl immediately raced to the back of the store. There were metal cages and the little animals didn't look too happy, Mika would have to rescue them too! Oh well it made no difference to her. But her daddy came first. Daddy then the unhappy animals.
"Mika? What color do you want for Jewel's collar?" Julia called out quietly, holding a pink diamond studded collar.
The blonde glanced around the shop and then at Jewel who was purring happily. "Blue, so a blue it looks like the sky!"
"Alrighty!"
As Julia walked up to the cashier to pay Mika saw this as her chance to get out of here to save her dad. She crawled on the cold musty wood floor, glancing over her shoulder every once and a while to make sure Julia wasn't looking for her. The front door came closer and closer. With pure determination Mika got up and raced out of it and bounded down the side walk, bumping into a couple people who yelled at her in a tongue she couldn't understand.
Mika dived into a nearby bush and placed Jewel into the hood of her gray sweater. She was wearing a navy skirt, white T-shirt with the words 'lalalala' on the front, and a gray hooded zip up jacket to cover it up. Jewel's diamond like eyes darted around their surroundings and she set her sights on the man known as 'Daddy'. Target insight.
Mika turned her head around to face Jewel to the best of her ability and placed her index finger on her lips and said, "Shhh." Jewel made a small throaty meow that sounded almost like the 'shh'.
"We have to be very quiet, we don't want daddy to see us!"
Jewel gave another throaty meow, her version of a "uh huh". ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AN: Gee it's taken me like what? Ten years to get with the ending of this story? Okay, maybe not ten years but close enough right? Shame on me! I'm sorry I've just been so busy and working with other ficss and yeah.. You get the picture. I hope you guys liked this sorry it took so FRIGGIN long!!! *on hands and knees begging you for forgiveness* Chapter 20 hopefully the last chapter, and I was thinking about a sequel.what do you guys think? Tell me okay? I'd like to know if I should do a sequel or not like a couple years when Mika's like a teenager or something, your choice! Okay?
Now go and review like the responable people I know you are. Peace!

I'm sorry I've just been so busy and working with other ficss and yeah.. You get the picture. I hope you guys liked this sorry it took so FRIGGIN long!!! *on hands and knees begging you for forgiveness* Chapter 20 hopefully the last chapter, and I was thinking about a sequel.what do you guys think? Tell me okay? I'd like to know if I should do a sequel or not like a couple years when Mika's like a teenager or something, your choice! Okay?
Now go and review like the responable people I know you are. Peace!
