Standard disclaimers apply. I do not own the G-boys and girls, Zechs, Noin, Lady Une, Treize, Mariemaia, Nataku, or anyone/thing from the original series and whatever. Anything/person else is mine, including the plot for this story.Author's Note:
1) shadow-spirits can't technically talk, so the only way you can hear them, that is if you have special abilities. Ohhhh yeahhh. A "shadow spirit" is the projection of someone in a coma, unconscious, sleeping, etc… Or you could just call it an astro-body… Yes, I do watch Tenchi Muyo.
2) I refer to something from the Radio Drama version of Blind Target, which I tend to think as the anime version, since has the voices actors. Though that keep doesn't me from loving the manga one.
3) I'm soooooooooorrrrrrrrrry. I was suppose to have this out in May of 2001, but a lot of things happened that stop that from happening; one being that my drive died during the summer.
Chapter 3- Visions of The Past
"I'd rather not have my daughter and dear Une, remembering me with pictures of me falling off a horse, when I was thirteen!" says the shadow through ESP.
"Well, this makes you look human, and definitely don't want to look perfect."
"Why…Alright, you have a good point there. I don't want her to have any pressure of having to 'be as good as her father'."
"Or have to 'live up to her father's name'… Of course I think she'd be picked on cause of the fact that she's your daughter and the small fact that she tried to take over the world."
"You're not helping."
"Sorry. Hehe." she replies as she snicks the envelope in her pocket and disappears.
At a park on L4 sat, underneath a tree, Dorothy Catalonia, reading a book. She lifts her head upward, towards the sky/ceiling of the colony.
"Quatre was right," she thought. "Peace truly is a real treasure. I just wish that I had someone to share it with. A relative, a friend, a… love…." says Dorothy, sadly. Dorothy just sits for a few minutes.
While not too faraway, currently on a walk, are Quatre Raberba Winner, Trowa Barton, and Catherine Bloom, chatting. Well… Quatre and Catherine are talking, while Trowa makes comments here-and-there. They're talking about normal things like how Quatre's business is doing and the circus business.
"Hey Quatre, what was the name of that girl that stabbed you back during the war?" Catherine asks.
"Dorothy Catalonia." answers Quatre.
*******************************************************
Dorothy sneezes, looks around, and then shrugs her shoulders.
*******************************************************
"Catalonia… Catalonia… Catalonia…I know I've heard that name somewhere else before, I just can't remember." Catherine spaces out for a second.
"General Catalonia, the leader of OZ before Treize Khushrenada." states Trowa.
"And Dorothy's father." adds Quatre. He looks down at the ground and begins to space-out, thinking about Dorothy. (While spacing out, he fails to notice Trowa disappear.) He recalls their duel on Libra word for word: remembering her true kind-self being released from her war-loving external shell. "Dorothy…" he murmurs.
"Oye Quatre………………Quatre…………Earth-to-Quatre!" Catherine calls over.
"Nani? Gomen Catherine." he apologizes. "…Where's Trowa?"
Catherine turns around to see Trowa nowhere.
"I'll find him." he states and runs off.
Right after Quatre had went into his glazed state, Trowa had gotten the feeling that he was being watched and immediately turned his body; to see a somewhat familiar form a blonde young woman. The moment she saw him look at her, she turned around and ran. He had run after her, but she jumped into a vehicle and drove off. Trowa stopped running and watched the car speed off. As Trowa contemplates what just occurred, an unfeasible option of who the "Blonde Young Woman" was comes into his mind from seeing her face for a few seconds.
"Midii?" he questions.
"Trowa, there you are. What's going on?" yells Quatre as he runs over to him.
"I was being watched." Trowa simply states.
"Were they anyone to be concerned about?"
"I doubt it. Maybe Catherine and I should be getting home." Trowa says looking at nothing.
"Okay, lets head back to Catherine."
Somewhere on L1, Heero Yuy sits in his apartment, watching a television.
"…Relena Darlian…" was all he hears when he notices something strange on the screen. He immediately stands up. He packs a suitcase and leaves. He takes the soonest space shuttle to L6, where Relena is. He suddenly feels a slight pain in his chest yet at the same time, a glint of what could be something close to joy.
"This isn't good. I shouldn't be pleased by the fact that I have to come out of solitude to be seen Relena, since there in trouble brewing ahead. Yet still-" Heero says in his mind. "Relena…" he says softly as he remembers when he almost told her something important to him, but the machines had been too loud. He drifts off to sleep.
A little girl with long dark brown; tied up in the back by a burgundy ribbon, and has bangs almost identical to Heero's, walks to the door where Une and Mariemeia live. She reaches up to ring the doorbell. She presses the button, leaves an envelope in from of the door, and runs behind a tree to hide. Lady Une answers the door with Mariemeia behind her legs.
"Ohayô?" greets the redhead with a confused look on her face. She runs out the door to see if anyone is in the yard.
As she does this, Lady Une notices the envelope and picks it up. She sees that there is no return address, opens it, and finds pictures of a young Treize. (Ha ha.)
"Who are… eep!"
"Mariemeia, what's wrong?!"
"I thought that I saw a person behind that tree, but when I got there; it was as if they had disappeared." explains Mariemeia. "So- Oye!" she stops.
"Nani?"
"Une-san, there's a crystal daisy here where the kid was."
"I hope this isn't a new enemy's doing." She looks down at her watch. "Oh dammit! You're going to be late to school if we don't get going! Just put the flower in my Preventers case. I'm gonna have to check this out."
On a bunk at the Preventers base, lies Preventer Wind: born Milliardo Peacecraft heir of the former Cinq kingdom, and former alias: Zechs Merquise: OZ's ace pilot- "The Lighting Baron".
"And now look at me, I'm a total wreck." he says. "Noin, I know your alive, but where are you and why haven't you come back? Noin, you're the only one who-" he thinks to himself.
"You're right, you are a total wreck. I didn't even presume you would have this kind of reaction." Says someone from the door.
"Heero."
"Honestly, letting your emotions effect your performance. How weak." States someone else.
"Shut your month Wufei. At least I don't make my partner afraid to tell me her feelings." retorts Zechs angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" he blurts back, very confused though not showing on his face.
"Zechs, we have a little more important Preventers' matters to deal with at hand… concerning Relena."
"Feh. What's wrong with people? Why must they disturb the peace?" remarks Wufei.
"I'm going to sign up as Relena's new bodyguard because of the situation." States Heero.
"Too late, buddy." Chimes in a new voice.
"What do you mean, Duo?" Heero has now placed his steady glaze on the American as he steps into the room, followed by Trowa and Quatre.
"A new bodyguard was assigned just yesterday that seems to be much more fit for the job then all the Preventers put together, except for you pilots." Voiced Sally from outside the room. She was standing next to Une.
"And when is this 'bodyguard' coming to-?" Wufei starts to ask, but is cut off by Heero.
"He's not a Preventer, is he." Heero states.
"Well, no. Though his files are very interesting. Heero, the Preventer Motherboard Computer and my contacts were unable to find anything on him." Says Quatre.
"Heero, can you find search for something on him. It seems as though he just appeared out of thin air. He was hired by because he has very useful abilities and had provided us valuable information. He just seems as though he's not telling us something." That was all Une talking.
"This 'New Bodyguard', does he have a name?" Duo asks in jest.Questions? Comments? Reply to OnnaOoji@aol.com
