She screamed for them to leave her alone and she ran to her room slamming the
door on her way. They never stopped scolding her on too much playing outside.
They always send her to the place they call dojo, and they always make her do
the things they call kata. They say she had to learn
it because someday she would lead them.
"I do NOT want to LEAD!" She clutched on a pillow then threw it on
her wall.
Her door opened and an old man came. "Young ONE!
This is NOT proper for you! You are young, but you NEED to learn as early as
now!"
"I DON'T want to!" She stomped her foot and balled her hands into
fists as she glared at her own grandfather.
"You have NO choice!" The old man approached the little girl and took
her hand as they left the room. The little girl kept struggling, but her
grandfather slapped her hand and glared down on her. "BEHAVE
yourself."
That night, she had little scratches on her thighs and arms because she had
tripped numerous times on trying to follow the movements of the elders that
were teaching her. She emptied her schoolbag, and replaced it with some
clothes, some money, and some pictures then she went to sleep.
When the final bell rang, she ran towards the nearest train station and bought
herself a ticket. Then she was hurrying to the train because it was leaving
when she ran into some boy who was about to go in the train as well.
"Watch it!" The other boy picked up his books and his glasses.
The little girl apologized and helped the other one pick up his books. Then the
last whistle of the train was heard and the doors closed, leaving both paseengers behind.
"Look what you did...the train left without me!" The other boy took
the books she was holding.
"I said I was sorry! I was left behind too!" She yelled at the other
boy.
The boy pushed his glasses and looked at the girl then scowled when he saw the
things in her school bag. She looked down on her bag and hurriedly closed it.
"Where are you going?" asked the boy.
"It's none of your business." She snorted.
"You're running away aren't you?" The boy sat down on the bench as he
waited for the next train.
The girl sat down as well since she was going to wait too. "So
what?"
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Why do you keep asking?"
"Because you're a little girl! Girls can't go far away because they are
weak."
"I am NOT weak!"
"You don't even know where you're going. I guess girls are stupid
too."
"Just because you're a NERD doesn't mean I am STUPID."
"I am NOT a nerd! I have a brain and I know well enough NOT TO RUN AWAY
from anything! That is why YOU are weak because you are RUNNING AWAY!"
The girl stood up and glowered at the boy; she gritted her teeth and growled,
"I WILL be strong. I AM strong! Someday we'll meet again, and by that
time, you will see how STRONG girls are!" She picked her bag up and then
left the other boy.
The other boy watched the girl leave and snorted, and then he entered the train
that arrived.

Wufei smiled down at the grave in front of him. It
had been 6 yrs since she died, and he had moved her grave to earth after the
war ended, where she would've wanted. He had moved on with his life, but he
made it a point to visit her every chance he got. He placed the flowers on her
grave, said his prayer and told her everything that had happened to him.
"You know what...I've always wondered who that little girl was..." Wufei then snorted, "I can't believe how long it took
me to realize who she was..." He shook his head and then looked around at
the garden he had bought for her. He looked down on the stone marble and
touched it's coldness with a sigh, "I wonder if you knew that I was that
boy..."
"Wherever you are...I just want to let you know, that I never forgot that
girl who was the first one to call me a nerd." Then he stood up from where
he was sitting and placed his hands inside his pocket. "We did meet
again...and you showed me strength, even now..." He sighed and closed his
eyes, "...till we meet again."
