Chapter Six- Watching over you
____________________________________________________
Juuban- Around midnight:
Heero sat silently at Quatre's bedside, he didn't know why but since he
had found his friend he didn't want to leave his side. Inside him a small fear
rose, he feared that Quatre would vanish again on the gundam pilots or killed
by another of those monsters.
As he sat there he thought back to his conversation with Haruka, he
didn't know why but there was something strange about the race car driver that
Quatre was living with.
~Flashback~
"Amazing, its hard to believe that Hikari is actually Quatre WinnerÉ
he's one of the richest people alive," the blond teen had said, Heero nodded
and looked at the sleeping blond on the bed.
It had taken such a long time to find there friend, he would not let
anyone hurt himÉ not even that demented creature he had destroyed with his gun
earlier.
"Yes, myself and three others live with him," he explained to them, they
smiled wanting more information on there amnesic friend.
"So, who are these friends?" Hotaru asked, she was a young pre-teen with
shoulder length purple-black hair and large purple eyes.
"Duo Maxwell, Wufei Chang, Trowa Barton and myself," he told them and he
was careful to keep himself on guard, you never knew about people especially
if they found out you were a Gundam pilot.
"How long have you known him?" Hotaru asked, it was easy for him to
remember.
"One year, but we all became a family in that time," he explained, many
people wouldn't go after someone they had known one year but the pilots wouldÉ
they were each others family.
He would never tell anyone but he wouldn't know what to do if the other
pilots left or were killed, he was the perfect soldier but they were the one
group he let his guard down.
"Heero," Haruka suddenly said, the Japanese pilot looked at her
silently. The blond had to blink, his stare seemed to drill holes into her.
"What?" he said simply, she gave a nervous laugh at his reaction. This
was typical of many people who talked to him, it was almost like talking to
something without emotions or a machine.
"Do you think that he will ever remember his past, so far he remembers
nothing?" she asked, Heero hoped that nothing like that would happenÉ he
wanted the blond to remember his past and there group could be complete once
more.
"He will remember one day, I will make sure he remembers," Heero told
her, she sighed her eyes sad.
"I hope so, he's so defenceless right now. Anyway you will protect him
with your life right, monsters seem to be attacking him for no reason right
now," she said, he nodded.
"I will, he's my friend," Heero said simply, she smiled in relief.
He would protect Quatre with his life, he would not loose the platinum
blond when he had just found him again.
~End Flashback~
A sound alerted Heero to the fact that the blond was waking, looking
over at Quatre he found himself looking into tired yet confused blue eyes.
"Hi," Quatre said, Heero nodded and helped the blond sit up.
"You okay?" he asked, Quatre sighed.
"Not really, my past is a blankÉ monsters are attacking me for some
unknown reason and last of all I know you but can't remember how," Quatre said
in a soft voice, letting his emotions show Heero gently placed a hand on the
smaller teens shoulder.
"DonÕt let it bother you, it will come back sooner or later," he
promised, he only hoped that this promise wouldn't be brokenÉ he wanted his
friend to remember his past badly.
"Okay," Quatre said with a yawn, he then lay down again and fell asleep.
Heero watched silently over his friend, he would let nothing happen to
the other pilot and he hoped with all his might that soon Quatre would
remember.

Somewhere else in Japan - Nonaka Hotel
Duo looked out his hotel window his purple eyes filled with sadness, the
world seemed more empty without Quatre's bright smile and innocence.
He sighed letting his eyes peer at the star filled sky, from each they
all seemed so far away.
In space in the colonies they seemed so close and familiar, in his
gundam it seemed as if he could swim through them or fly towards them like a
bird.
Yet none of this mattered at this time, all he was concerned with was
what had happened with Quatre and if the blond was okay.
"Quatre old buddy, you better be okay," he whispered into the star
filled night, he then turned the lights off in his rooms and went to bed.
***
Countryside - Japan
In yet another part of Japan another Gundam pilot was also thinking of
Quatre, unlike Duo he was camping out in the countryside.
Wufei moved through a Kata his Katana in his hands, he moved with
incredible grace that showed that he was a great warrior.
He was also a scholarÉ not that it showed, he hadn't been called that
since MeilinÉ his wife had been killed and his colony destroyed.
'I cannot loose someone else close to me, first it was Meilin and now
fate is trying to take one away that I think as a brother' Wufei thought, his
actions became more fierce and erratic, he had lost so much in his life and he
be damned if he let anymore be lost.
"You better be all right Quatre, your life a brother to me," he
whispered falliing to the ground sadly, he sat there looking at the moon
thinking of his past and all he had lost.
It was a long time later that he fell asleep not bothering with a tent
or sleeping bag, he was too tired and worried to bother to climb into one.
***
Yet anther place in Japan:
Trowa stared at the world with his one showing green eyes, his thoughts
were deep in memories of Quatre and the times they had spent together.
He smiled slightly as he remembered there first meeting, he had been so
surprised to see another Gundam.
The time they had spent together after that day had been a shock to him,
never had anyone been so kind to him. Quatre then became like a younger
brother to him, one that he wanted to protect.
He ignored the fact that Rashad would protect the platinum blond and his
army, he would protect Quatre anyway in any way he could.
"Quatre," he whispered, he stared at the sky sadly wishing that he could
find his friend now.
'Be safe my friend' he thought.

Juuban- almost dawn:
A shadowed figure slipped through the streets of Juuban silently, this
was the same monster that had talked to the master earlier.
She was now looking for traces of her prey, if she was lucky she would
find the pilot and destroy it.
The others had failed but she was smarter then them, she planned to make
sure the scouts could not interfere when she struckÉ then she could destroy
them and the other pilots with ease.
"Soon," she whispered in that dual voice of hers, evil laughter followed
that and those who were awake shivered in fear.
TBC
Sorry for the long wait, but my cat died and I was just not in the mood to
write this story. But I'm back, anyway I thank everyone for being semi patient
for the next chapter.
