Wings of an Angel
Chapter 3
By: Leigh Yuy

"So, how long is this trip going to be?" Duo asked frequently.

"Haven't I already told you a thousand times? Just a few more minutes!" Rei was really getting furious at Duo's stupid, on-coming questions. They were walking to Rei's village to stay and get some rest. They had just left after every one was acquainted and of coarse after they had awoken. They had been on the 'road' for an hour now and Duo was really bored.

"Are we there yet?" Rei ignored Duo's question again.

"Excuse me, um, Miss Akari, do you know what time it is? I'm really tired and we have been walking for some time." Relena spoke politely.

"For starters you don't have to call me 'Miss Akari'. And second it's about 5:02 PM, in your world."

"Thank you."

"No problem." Relena did however catch that she said 'your world'. But she thought why waste her breath here? There will be time for questions later. Finally, the group rounded the bin and there was a city of life. Everyone's eyes awed at this beautiful site. It was truly nature. There was a clear waterfall on the left-hand side. There was a village down below. Half of the city sparkled in the glimmering sunshine.

***************************

"You can stay here." Rei lead the last of the group to their bunks. Rei's home was very similar to the cabin, which they stayed in. It had everything except the mechanical technology. The rooms had the same design and everything. They all slept where they did in the cabin. The guys slept in the guy's room and the girls slept in the girl's room.

Heero flopped on his bed with exhaustion. Relena sat down beside him.

"Can you remember anything from your past or what happened?"

"I remember a light brown haired girl crying. Soldiers were all around. Some had..." But he stopped there not knowing if he should tell her. Some had angelic wings that spread towards the heavens. The other's had demon like wings. "Some had different eh...figures...I guess? I know it sounds like a dream though."

"Right now I believe you. This is an odd place and well you know." Just about at that time Rei came in.

"I have your clothes. Here. Try them on for size." She gave them their uniforms from the strange world. All of the clothing was silky and had a small scent to them. Most of them had 1 loose undercoat thing, a top that was very decorative, boots, and a long scarf thing that would wrap around your waist to connect the 2 layers of silk. Heero's undercoat was white. His top layer was dark blue with black satin patterns. He had dark brown boots that you had to tie a lace of string to, to make sure that they don't fall off. He also had the bands for each of his arms.

Relena had a different outfit. She had of what looked like an oriental dress with a strap of silk that was slithered onto the waist as if to separate one body into two, right in the middle. Relena's was white with a light blue decoration. It matched her figure and her blue eyes. After dressing in their new, comfy, satin clothes, Heero and Relena set off to find the food, the kitchen.

They only arrived to find the table disserted, except for Heero's sister, Rei. Rei motioned for them to take a seat. Expecting questions on that very moment, she sat up. As a fact she was completely right. Relena started.

"Rei, did you send for us back on Earth?"

"No. I've been searching this planet and the Earth for you're darling." She stopped to see Heero give another one of his Death Stares and laugh to see his face like a brick, red and hard. Relena just gave a little blush. She knew that Rei was picking on him, but at the same time it was hilarious to see Heero's profile a faded red. "Anyway, I've been looking for you, dead or alive. You were taken away from us when you were four. That day everything was going wrong...

************* Flashback**************

A young boy holds his lifeless mother, crying. An older sister walks over to the weeping sibling. She grabs him tightly, as he craves for her grasp. They form a delicate grieving hug, which is only known when a friend close to you goes away, forever maybe. They lean on each other for support. The flames of their engulfed village are now starting to grow larger as the two children run out of the fire. Covered in ash and injured they run farther and farther from their lost home. They finally stop at nearby stream, exhausted. They rest there and grieve some more. How could anyone blame them?
"Rei," a very young teary-eyed Kanzan asks his older sister, "Rei, how come mom wasn't moving? Dad wasn't either. I...I hope we don't stop moving either. That would make it hard to run, wouldn't it?" Kanzen looks at Rei with innocent eyes. Rei burst out into tears and hugs her brother even tighter.

"I'm...I'm so...so sorry to break this to you ...but ... our parents...are...g-g-g-o..." She couldn't spit the last part of the word out. The little girl was too horrified of what happened to her parents. There was no way she could say that word to her brother about their parents. 'Gone' it's one of those words that just slice a piece of your back open till you die of a loss of blood. It leaves the air cold and grim as you wave goodbye to an old now moving friend. It's the feeling of a bad chill running up your neck on a perfectly good morning. Even the word 'dead' wouldn't be so bad as the hideous 'gone'.

Kanzen knew what she was about to say. That brutal and ruthless word, 'gone'. The wings of many angelic beings were cradled out of existence this very day and Kanzen knew that well. But why our parents? Why? No one could answer those questions on any planet. A brush of blame swept over Kanzen.

"Is it my fault?" She hugged him even harder.

"Why...why would you ever think that?" Kanzen looked to the right and saw a waterfall crying for them. A rainbow smiling above them seemed to say 'it'll be alright'.

"Why did our clan get attacked, sis? We didn't do anything to that ass." Rei smiled at that moment of Kanzen saying 'ass'. Their father used to say that about the 'dark master' as that idiot exclaimed as himself. But Rei's smile quickly turned to a revengeful frown.

"Probably to kill more citizens, just for the hell of it. You know what he did to the other clan a couple weeks ago. It's sad that we have to live in a time like this." The bushes rustled as five arrows out of six hit them. Blood flung from their pours onto the earthly soil. The red grass seemed to cry out in their pain as well.

"What the hell is ...going..." Rei winced as the pain struck in her stomach, her arm, and her thigh. She glanced over at Kanzen. He was bleeding too! She tried to rush over to his aid but was stopped by pain and a seven-foot demon.

"Going somewhere pretty lady?" He chuckled as his hand came off his waste. It met her face and thew her on the left of her brother. She winced again as the pain cut all over her body, now her scratched and bleeding face. The demon picked the angelic being up as if she was a piece of dirt. "How should I kill you? I know! Here," tossed Rei to one of his henchmen, "Take her back to the castle as I will dispose of this one" He took a glance at Kanzen.

"No! Don't touch him! He didn't do anything! He's innocent!" Rei spewed as blood poured from her mouth and water from her eyes. The black demon walked cockily to the side of Rei.

"Sorry, my princess but haven't you already figured out that the innocent always suffer! My master, Akuma, told me to make sure that that happens! It'll make his life and ours a lot more enjoyable," He sneered at her with a gay smile.

"Bakamono," She whispered under her breath.

"Say what you want sweetheart. This'll be you're last day to live!"

AN: Yes, finally I made a longer chapter thanks to Tabi * spits tongue at Tabi-Chan* * Tabi smiles back mischievously* * gives evil glare* Anyway, domo gomen about the hold up! It's thanksgiving and I have been very busy! Homework, seeing Harry Potter 2, applying for governor's school, trying to figure out how the heck I'm going to take Japanese when I take art at school, homework, getting up in the morning to go to a dance thing that I got into, homework, trying like heck to get online, drawing Malfoy (hee, hee), homework, trying to get over that one of my BF's is moving in Feb., my bro's driving me nuts, homework, parents blaming everything on me, homework, trying to get the printer to work, going to anime cons, and did I mention homework?

Grr most of these things drive me nuts. And the worse part is that all the peps at my school are chipping at these fragile nerves of breaking steel. You know what stinks too? I don't have Internet. We threw aol (America Offline) out and got AT&T Broadband, but 'something's wrong with our computer' so we can't go online. The guy was supposed to come last Sunday but never showed. Grr. I'll try to get the forth one done too but it's hard to find time in my schedule. Please, just to make you and me happy let's make a deal? If I get more then at least 5 reviews after 11/29/02, I'll put the fourth one up. So in other words, if you don't give me five more reviews after this date, you ain't gettin' no fourth. Sorry, but I at least need some comments!
