Hey there peeps!! What d'ya know, here's another chapter out sooner than expected. But there's a catch. There's always a catch. It's one of those ridiculous laws of the universe that screws everyone over. I'll let you find out for yourself what this catch is. You'll probably hate me in the end but you'll be more interested in my fic.
MWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Clears throat * Now for my introduction.
Heero: * pulls out gun * Omae o korosu Lilac.
Lilac: Eeep! What'd I do this time?
Duo: * bounces out from behind Heero * Hey babe!! What be happening?
Heero: * turns and glares at Duo. * Never call Lilac 'babe' again.
Lilac: * with beatific smile and stars in her eyes * Oh Hee-chan. I never knew you cared. Let's get eloped.
Heero: * turns glare back on Lilac * Oh no you don't. I still have a bone to pick with you.
Duo: * looks around nervously like he doesn't want to be there * Uh…I think I'll just go bug Wufei now. He must be wondering where I am. * makes move to run *
Heero: * grabs Duo with free hand * You. Stay. Put.
Lilac: * stern expression, chastising tone * Now, Heero. How many times have I told you not to pick on Duo. It's not his fault that he's a baka or totally mentally incapacitated when it comes to most things. Let him go.
Duo: * shoots a glare at Lilac and speaks sarcastically* Gee, thanks for the support Lilac. Always knew I could count on you to give me glowing reviews.
Lilac: * flushes * Well it is true most of the time. You do act like that. Why do you think Heero and Wufei threaten you so frequently? Your utterly charming personality?
Heero: * rolls eyes heaven ward * Shut up and listen. I know what you did last summer. If you don't stop trying to ruin my rep in the fic, I'll let everyone know what you did. Got me?
Lilac: * shocked and horrified * Heero!! How dare you try to blackmail me!! This is my fic. I can do whatever I want and you can't do nothing. Besides no knew knows what happened last summer except us ( points to herself and Duo) and I intend for it to stay that way. * sticks out tongue *
Duo: * pales noticeably but his reaction goes unnoticed by Lilac and Heero. Gulps softly and tries to sneak away*
Heero: * same monotone as throughout dialogue * Have it your way then. One more move to ruin my perfect reputation and the secrets out. If you think I don't know, then ask Duo what happened the last time he went out and got drunk. * turns and leaves, simultaneously putting his gun wherever he hides it *
Lilac: * turns light shade of purple in rage and pulls out a katana * DDDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You bakayarou!!! BUKKOROSHITE YARU ZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duo: * takes off running like the demons of hell are after him *
Lilac: Here's the fic peeps. Ignore that little scene. It means absolutely nothing. * takes off after Duo an murderously evil gleam in her eyes *
Disclaimer: Ditto whatever I had in previous chapters where disclaimers appeared. I'm too broken to be sued. Take pity you SOB lawyers.
Chapter Ten
Beyond Time and Space…
Destiny looked through the Mirror of Truth. As far as she could tell, everything seemed to be going as planned except for Zechs' little machine. How he came up with something like that she was not sure but she figured that the pilots and Senshi could handle it.
Getting up from her seat before the Mirror, she glanced affectionately at her mother who stood before her spindle watching the Tapestry of Life as it slowly grew. Her mother had repaired the damage she had caused when she had performed the little spell. All those whose lives had been sacrificed were to be reborn . Life would continue as it had before and she was indefinitely grounded.
Destiny walked over to her mother and laid her left hand on Fate's right shoulder. Her mother looked tired and haggard up close. She had had little rest since the incident and had met with the Gods for a lengthy discussion on her actions. How she wished she knew what they had said to her mother for upon her return, she had looked so defeated.
"Mother, you can rest now. Everything's going to be fine. Great even." Destiny said in soft tones.
Fate sighed heavily, " My Child, my dear, sweet, naïve offspring. You have yet to realize the negative consequences of your actions."
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked a puzzled Destiny.
"You have no idea how much the Gods are against what you are trying. They are more angered over your antics than when I had tried."
Destiny's eyes widened in shocked disbelief. Here was her mother telling her that she had once tried what she had. The same mother who had argued and chastised her mightily for her 'foolish action'.
"Truly, Mother. You once tried to bring them together? I find that very hard to grasp."
"It's true, my Child. It was during the Silver Millennium. How arrogant and headstrong I was then."
"But mother, there are no records of Heero Yui ever having a past life during the time of the Silver Millennium."
"That's because the Gods destroyed them. They went through a lot to separate the two and they succeeded. All memory of him was erased from the minds of all those who knew him. It was the way it was originally intended. Until…until I interfered." Fate explained with a sorrowful expression.
"Go MOM!!!!!" cheered Destiny in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"Hush Child!" she snapped. Destiny immediately quieted and settled down.
"Why? Why do the Gods disapprove of a match so destined, so perfect that anyone could see the happiness the two would bring to each other and those who met them?" Destiny inquired in a timid voice.
"I know not why my Child. I only know what happened in the Silver Millennium although I have heard rumours but they are solely that. Falsehoods created by a person or persons to scare and discredit the Gods."
"Mother, why is it that you seem so miserable whenever the Silver Millennium is mentioned? It's as if you are responsible for the evil that destroyed it."
"Because my little one, I am directly responsible. I caused the destruction of the Silver Millennium with my foolish pride. I believed that I could change what the Gods decreed right and I ended up destroying the lives of millions as well as the one true kingdom that upheld peace among all."
Destiny stared at her mother in shock. She had never imagined that her mother carried so much guilt inside of her. It was slowly but surely tearing her apart from the inside out.
"Fine then. Tell me what you did. I know you did not do what I have done. Tell me your story and maybe, just maybe I could learn from your mistakes." Destiny said, her wisdom evident. Her true station was prominent for it was one of those times when she was doing her duty and ina commanding position which was normally held by the fragile looking woman before her. Her light had dimmed considerably and she looked ready to drop.
" As you wish, little one." Fate agreed softly. Gathering her courage, she began the tale of her greatest failure to her only offspring.
Well? How was it? Hope you enjoyed my warped sense. This fic is changing right before my very eyes. I wonder if any of you readers remember what Usagi called Heero in the 'dream' before they awoke in each other's bodies. It's like a major clue as to why the Gods are against the relationship.
BTW, Fate and Destiny are spirits; the forms are light in humanoid shape. When they appear before mortals, they take the form of either a close friend/family or a desired person. Makes things way easier.
Thanks reviews so far. I Have not had much time to check them properly. I love you people ( not in the romantic way). Anyways, my mother is rushing me so I gotta go. Next chapter is due next week but it might be out early. Then again it might be out late. One never knows what might pop up.
Goodnight, sweet dreams and happy reading!!!
Ja ne.
