I do that alot sometimes and never re-read it. Also thank to any future
reveiwer that reminds me!!^_^
A candle without a flame, that's
what father said I was. He also said to always act on your emotions. Even
though people seem to be scared of me I always acted on my emotions. My
parents died when I was 2 and my only real relative is my older brother.
Where a year apart and some people think where twins. I lost contact with
him when we decided to become gundum pilots. I was kept in training for
another year and past around to each scientist during the war. I
had a gundum made and always had it ready. I had already mastered zero
by the time the Marie Maya wars started. As I sit on a bench in the L2
colony I wonder if I will see my brother again.
I was hacking yesterday and
found out that my brother had not kept in contact with any of the Gundum
pilots so I had to be careful not to run into them. Yesterday I had seen
the one they call Duo at a scrap yard, but left before he could see me.
I still have my instincts as a solider even though the Marie Maya wars
ended 3 years ago. They where all 17 then. I'm 19 right now. I am wearing
tight jeans and a black sleeveless shirt that mimicked the look of my older
brother except the color difference.
I look around and spot someone
vaguely familiar. It is one of the pilot's, I think his name is Trowa if
my information does not trick me. I get up and walk away. Since it is not
that crowded in the park I know he saw me. I look exactly like my brother
except for the gender. I feel his eye's on me as I walk away, hands in
my pockets, I wore I jacket over myself at least, it was getting cold,
not that I cared. It just added to the appearance of myself to my brother.
I turn a corner and jump into a tree, soon I see him turn around the corner
and looks around, thankfully he turns the other way and walks on. Once
he is out of sight I let go of the breath I seemed to hold. I dropped down
the tree and walked towards my small apartment. It's right In the middle
of town so it will be awhile.
As I walk down the sidewalk,
I take out a hat I kept and put it on shielding my eye's from other people's
view. Soon someone bumps into me and I here them frantically apologizing.
As I pick up the last of the figures things and hand them to them, I assume
a boy by the voice. He looks up when I do and gasps.
"Heero", he says. I stand up
quickly and look at him a moment, he must think I'm my brother because
my coat hides the fact that I'm a girl. I stare at him emotionally and
then turn and walk away disappearing as good as I can into the crowd of
people. I hear Heero's name called but I don't stop and walk into my apartment.
It was Duo that saw me.
"Damn", I mumble to myself
as I hit the button for the 4th floor, "I should have been more careful",
The slight ding noted that I was on the forth floor and I stepped out not
bothering to help the person I had bumped into. I had more important things
on my mind right now like what was I going to do? I could get a job but
would have to be careful.
I took out my keys and opened
my door as I thought about all these things that happened so far. I hung
up my coat after closing and locking the door behind me. It's weird that
I have things hidden around the house such as knifes at least one in each
room. I walked into the kitchen, poured myself a glass of water and went
out onto the balcony. My apartment was either a sweet or all apartments
were like this.
When you walk in there's a
kitchen and it rounds off to block itself in. Then there's a table with
six spaces, two on each side and one on each end. Then next to it is a
little space block of by couches then a big screen T.V., it's about 48
inches. on the other side is four doors, the one on the right goes to a
room with two full size beds a dresser, night stands in-between and a huge
closet with two doors.
The next door goes into a little
laundry room, and the one next to that one goes into a bathroom while the
last went into the master bedroom with queen size bed and attached bathroom.
I walked through the living space to the balcony doors. White silk curtains
blowing from the slight breeze. I slid open the screen door and stepped
out.
I sat down on one of the white
iron chairs as I looked out at the city. It was a really nice veiw when
you saw the sunset. My balcony faced the ocean and when the sun set the
glow seemed to light up the dull city and make it glow like gold. But like
they say some things in life like gold can't always stay forever.
I look out at the city watching
the people go about their daily bisness as I think to myself. I'm going
to have to stop running from the pilots sometime. Plus if news reporters
even see me they think I'm my brother Heero. He must really hate his life
with all those people. I wonder how he's doing any ways. I sigh to myself,
maybe I should try to find him. I shook my head to relieve that thought
from my head. Like father always said he's just like me, a candle with
out a flame, and also like me, if we don't want to be found, we won't be
found. He'll show himself in time.
I hope. I take one last look
at the city as I decide to go inside. I go into the living room after shutting
the screen and glass door. I sit down on the couch and turn the T.V. on.
A news channel turns on and I decide to watch.
"Well the weather for tomorrow
will be cloudy and cool and then on Wednesday its going to rain at 2 p.m.
and last until 6. And in other news the pilot of Wing Zero was spotted
today but it seemed like he didn't notice us and got away once again",
there was then a video of me walking down the street and turning a corner.
I sighed as they went on about stuff from the war. I turned off the T.V.
and leaned back while closing my eye's. I go out for one day to see the
outside and not stay cooped up and I already know that at least two pilots
have seen me and now the others. Maybe even Heero if he'd seen the news
report.
"God, I might as well die then
stay up cooped up in here", all of a sudden my ears picked up something
and I whirled around and stared face to face with purrsian blue eye's.
My eye's widened slightly then went to their normal size after a few seconds.
"Heero", I said. He nodded
and got up and walked until he reached the back of the couch.
"I guess I'm loosing my touch",
he said, his voice didn't have all that coldness that it used to.
"I'm sorry for what happened,
I got spotted and they thought it was me, I should have stayed home", he
nodded and went around and sat on the other couch.
"You don't need to say sorry",
he sighed as I watched him, I knew that, he was going to ask me to do a
favor, I knew him to good, what would you expect from his sis?
"I need a place to stay", was
all he said. I smirked slightly and nodded just barley, "sure you can stay
here bro". He glared at me," sure, sure, I wont call you that", sending
my own glare back. For a big brother he sure was picky. "Have you been
here long?", he nodded.
"I've been here for about 1
year", he said. I nodded. I took out the copy key I had on my ring of keys
and tossed it to him, "if you have a car or bike I'll get you a space tomorrow",
I said as I walked towards the door leading to my bedroom. "You probably
already checked out the place but if you didn't your rooms there" I said
pointing to the guest room and then pointed to mine", and this is my room,
knock first, goodnight".
I could tell he nodded to may
command, "yeah, goodnight". I could hear his movement to his room as I
closed the door behind me. Maybe I should find a job so he can think of
a plan, I thought as I climbed into bed pulling the covers over me. I would
talk to him about it in the morning.
The next morning I woke up to
no alarm. I looked at the clock and it said it was 7:30. I had slept 9
hours. More then I had in a long time. I got up and got dressed in my usual
outfit and went into the living room/dining room and sat down at the table.
"Why did you turn off my alarm?",
I asked as a cup of coffee was placed in front of me and he sat down across
from me.
"You need more sleep" I grunted.
"Yeah you probably got up the
same time I usually do", he took a sip of coffee and nodded to my statement.
"I was thinking I should probably get a job so we know what's going on",
he looked at me as I said this.
"Sure, why don't you work at
the scrap yard or something? Or maybe the circus?", I looked at him for
a second.
"But that's where the gundum
pilots work", I said getting up and rinsing and putting my coffee cup in
the dishwasher.
"My point exactly, then it
would be easy for me to meet them", I rolled my eye's, one thing I usually
didn't do.
"Fine I'll go see if they hire
at the circus", I said as I slipped on my sandals. "Are you going to go
out or stay here?" , he looked out the balcony doors at the city.
"I might go out today, but
I'll be careful", he said as I turned to talk. I grabbed my key ring and
made my way towards the door I opened it soundlessly and closed it the
same.
Then went downstairs towards
the parking lot, stopping to get an extra space for my brother. I got on
my motorcycle and put on my helmet. I also had a dirt bike but I decided
not to wake everyone up. It was much louder than the motorcycle and I didn't
think I'd like being yelled at, I wouldn't have cared that much but I didn't
want to handle it today.
As I stop outside I pull out
my resimae(sp) as I decided not to take of my helmet. I walked up to the
tent. I was very much like my brother when I wasn't at home or talking
to him. I went in and walked up to the person that supposedly was the ring
master. He wore a red tux over coat with black striped shirt and white
pants underneath, he turned around as I neared him, I looked pretty mysterious
or weird I guess with my silver helmet on. I handed him my resimae and
he looked at it.
"You want to join the circus
huh?", I nodded quietly. Loins with the trainers passed by with the loins
one of the loins looked at me and I looked right back at it. The trainer
tried pulling it but it wouldn't budge. I just stared at it after putting
my visor up. The male lion walked over dragging the trainer and came up
to me. It stared into my eye's a moment then nuzzled my hand, I scratched
behind its ears and it soon began to purr. I could see the manager looking
over the paper and looking startled as I petted the fur of the lions mane.
"What do you want to do?",
he asked me. I used my monotone voice when I talked.
"Anything, stunts and animals",
he nodded to my suggestion.
"You can do acts with animals
and since Trowa our other animal 'expert' is a clown and such I give you
the responsibility with the animals", he said then paused for a minute.
"What's your name?"
"Yuy, and just leave it at
that", I had my jacket on and I wanted to see what the reaction would be
of Catherine, the girl I see standing away by an opening. I take my hand
away from the lion, much to its disappointment and took off my helmet hearing
a gasp. I looked at Catherine emotionless and she ran off. Probably to
tell Trowa I thought. The manager looked at me.
"You start immediately and
you have the camper in-between Trowa and Catherine, the girl you just saw",
I nodded and leaned against the crate with my helmet under my arm as the
lion was lead away. The manager talked to another worker there about my
circus clothes and told him to put them in my trailer. I had told him I
know my way around and he believed me. I walked to my trailer avoiding
all the people coming to the circus, since I started right away I'd better
get into my costume and call my brother. I walked into my trailer and saw
the costume on my bed. from what I saw of catherine it was the same except
black, feathers and all. Oh goody I thought to my self as I put it on folding
my clothes up and putting them in the drawer. I pulled out my cell from
my jeans pocket and dialed my number, after 1 ring it was picked up.
"Hello?", said an monotone
voice.
"Heero? It's me I got the job.
Just called to tell you"
"Affirmative", I sighed, we
weren't in the war anymore.
"Bye", I said and hung up.
I walked through the trailer and grabbed the keys I saw, put them on my
key ring and walked out closing the door behind me. I walked over to the
tent with the animals in it and went in. The lions came to the bars as
I walked towards them. I petted them as I looked around the tent. Not knowing
what to expect when the pilots find out what I'm hiding.
Well? Should I continue? Please RxR and tell
me if I should continue and tell me what you think!!Please?? Thanks sooooo
much if you did!!
