Second Chances

Chapter 2

After school her mother was there to walk her home. Her mother sensed something was bothering her so she decides to ask her daughter about it.

"What's the matter hunny?" She asks in a calming voice. Ami, whose mind was already set for that night, decided to keep her mother in the dark about her plans later.

"Nothing, just was hassled by some boys at school"

"What did you do to them..." this came in a cautious tone.

"Nothing I walked away..." she adds mentally 'After I made sure that when I hurt them I wouldn't be kicked out of school for fighting, because I'm not going to be fighting on school property now am I?' Her mother just shakes her head and walks on. She was about to be late for work...

"Hunny this is where I have to go now... you go home. Take the shortcut through the park. I'll be home late and be quiet your father is sleeping He has to work tonight." With that she hurries off to her job, she's a lawyer, and her father is a Doctor, an ER surgeon to be exact...

"Well I guess I should go and practice... only a few hours till the fight..." and off she went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about 3 hours of training she stopped to take a shower, get dressed, and get started for the woods. She pulls her dark bluish-black hair into a high ponytail; on her hands she wears a pair of black biker gloves, ones without the fingertips in them. She wears a pair of Black pants and a plain black top and a long black coat. She then proceeds to sneak out of the house, not as much as not to wake her parents more of to not wake the neighbors. She checks her watch... 11:48... she would be early, since they are to fight at midnight.

"What is she planning on doing, M'lord?"

"I don't know but I have a feeling it will not be pretty..."

"Has the time come..? Will she emerge?"

"I believe so.. We'll have to wait and see m'lady"

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

"Why are we doing this again, He?"

"I want to know more about her... Don't look at me like that... stop it, It's not like that, that's icky (never thought he would say that... guess who 'He' is I'll give you a hint 'Hn' you got it?)"

"Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure... he he we believe you, He likes the Icky girl, He likes the Icky girl... ooowwwwwww what was that for he-man..." the voice fades probably because of the death glare it was receiving from a fuming 'He-man'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She leans against a tree, allowing the shadows to engulf her... as the large boy and two of his friends pass...

"About time you came... What you couldn't fight little ol' me all alone so you brought your friends to back you up.." She steps into the clearing, her face is about the only part of her you could really see... she was dressed in black everywhere else...

"Ha. You think you can beat the three of us? I think not... grab her you two.."

"oo I'm really scared" She allows herself to be held in place by them... so as to gauge their strength and that of the larger boy.

"Weakling not even trying to get away or fight...I'll teach you who rules our school"

"This should be good... Try Me"

"Your not in a position to be picking" sometime while the two were talking, bantering rather, the two holding her tied her hands behind her tightly with a rope... before she realized it the larger boy lashed out sending a strong punch into just above her right cheek, knocking her down on her back. Then he sends punches into her ribs, chest area, and face. The Boy grows tired of hitting so he starts kicking her in the side; soon the other two are joining in on the abuse. The three boys hear something in the woods and get one last kick in before fleeing the clearing. They laugh as they leave her to whatever sound they heard. A man with silver hair that would look hauntingly familiar to Ami, if she were conscience enough to see him... The strange man bent down and carefully plucked her from the harsh ground, holding her like an infant her wraps her in a cloak of sorts. He then turns and walks out of the clearing and soon disappears.

Across town in a hospital and some office buildings across the road were caught in a wildfire... An ER Doctor was administering Oxygen to a patient and some how sparks were created and the fire spread to the gas lines connecting the two buildings and it caused both buildings to explode killing those on the ground floors instantly, thus leaving at least one little girl orphaned...

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

"Both wrists are broken, 3 or 4 ribs broken one may have punctured a lung, internal bleeding, a gash on the right cheek, possible brain damage... this event was more-than-likely traumatic..."

"My child... I wasn't soon enough to spare you this pain..."

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Everything was fuzzy... and dark... Am I dead? This a Dream like before...what Happened, is happening and/or will happen... ah headache...' She glances around this void and finds a glint of silver. She follows the glint until it becomes less of a glint and more of that of a head.

"Where am I? Who are you? What am I doing here? What Happened...?" I bombarded this person with questions

"Whoa... one at a Time my child.. This is the past, present and the future... I am your Father. I brought you here because it is time to train you for the future... as for what happened... lets just say you challenged some boys who were stronger than you whom you made a fool of at school..."

'School... ah crap mom's going to be mad... I'm probably going to get blamed for the fight, which I started, and be kicked out again.'

"Does my mom know about the fight... Did I get kicked out of the school?" she timidly questions.

"You mean you 'mom' from the present time, not your 'mom' from the past right?" She nods and he continues "I'm sorry but in order to bring you here to train and cut ties with this false reality, they died in a fire that started in the ER then spread. I'll give you a choice on how you would like to 'disappear' in that world... by Dieing or by simply running away... it's your choice."

"I think I'll..."



'Where'd they go? Who was the man? Why didn't she fight the boys? What happened....' these thoughts crossed the group of five guys and four girls as they search the woods for the mysterious man and Ami.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, on the edge of the woods a small broken and bloody child was found by a couple of joggers.

"Oh my, Alex call an ambulance. Hurry." A few minutes pass and an Ambulance is seen pulling up to them. The driver hops out, along with a few others.

"Are you the one that called? What happened? Who did this?"

"Yes we called, We're unsure on what happened we just found her like this, and I don't know who did this..."

"Lets hurry this kid looks to be on her last leg..." The team worked quickly and carefully loaded her into the ambulance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you think doctor? Will she live?"

"I'm not sure. I'm amazed that she survived the night alone in the woods..."

"It doesn't look good does it... I mean broken wrists and a few ribs, maybe a punctured lung, a large cut on her face, possible trauma and a chance of brain damage. She's in bad condition..."

"It's sad to see such a small child in this picture... hooked up to machines, all the tubes and wires... such a shame that this happened. We've done all we can and for now all we can do is hope and pray that she pulls through... for all our sakes" With that the nurse sadly nods and places a comforting hand on the doctors shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Class, Settle down Class. I'm going to take roll, everybody in his or her seats... Good everyone's here"

"But Ami, the new girl, isn't" A girl from the back pipes up.

"Your right. I wonder what happened, has anyone seen Her lately."

"I did last night she was in the woods fighting with somebody..." The large boy shot a death glare to the one who said this

"Are you sure Mr. Yuy? Who was she fighting"

"I know what I saw... I don't know who she was fighting it was dark...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Yuy! Your dead if you get me in trouble."

"You think I'm afraid of you? Don't make me laugh, unlike the girl I will hurt you."

"Ah so you think you can hurt me... well bring it on right here right now."

The larger boy tried to punch Heero but he beat him to it. The larger boy fell back and hit the ground hard. Heero walked over to the side of the boy and in a motion of kicking him in the side he kicks the dirt and sends dirt on the boy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Have you found who she is yet?"

"Yes sir. She is Mizuno Ami. Her parents were killed in the fire last night. She has a reputation for getting into fights... She has no other family. What?! Oh no, She's.... gone"

"... She is going to a better place now..."

"I'll make arrangements for her to be buried with her Parents tomorrow. Inform the press of this news."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's it? I don't even get to say goodbye to my parents, well those parents..."

"You want to go to the Funeral? Your funeral?"

"Can I? I'd like to say goodbye to that life..."

"Sure.. But I want to go too... It would look weird for a child that looks sorta like the one being buried to be there alone."

"What do you mean 'Sorta'... I am the girl being buried..."

"Not anymore.. You have begun to change into what you should look like... the other was an illusion till you were needed to fulfill your destiny." Ami looks in a mirror that appeared in front of her, She gaps in awe at what she sees. Her hair, no longer the dark blue it was, is now a light blue/silver color like her dads... Her eyes are silver in color with an emerald green ring around them. Her ears are pointed like her Fathers, Giving her an elvish look. Her skin is now a golden brown, slightly darker than she had been in previous lives.

"Whoa... I look like you now."

"I know my child, I know"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Class I regret to inform you that our Miss Ami Mizuno is no longer with us..." she bows her head "let us have a moment of silence for her..."

'She's dead... that stupid twit killed her... I felt something in her something that makes me think I knew her all my life but we only meet yesterday... why did she have to die...' Heero thought to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night was the viewing, where friends and people whom knew them could come and see the family one last time... Heero and his friends decided that they would go, more like Heero dragged them to it. The larger boy and his two friends were there and most the town was there. In the back of the room a pair stood out... both silver haired and both dressed in dark blue/Midnight blue Robes. They approached the three bodies in the front slowly. Heero took notice of the man first 'that's the man that took Ami' then the little girl. He walked up to them and asked a simple question

"Were you friends with the family..."

"The man and his wife were my best friends and their daughter was like my own, and my daughter's best friend"

"Ohh.. I'm sorry I'm Heero Yuy, a Boy from her Class"

"I am Aratáro and this is my daughter Andúnehísë. It's nice to meet with you Mr. Yuy." 'hmm.. strange names...' Heero thought to himself.

"May I ask where you are from? Your foreign I take it..."

"We are from Thalandwire... it's in France, a small village" The man receives a small glare from his daughter, Heero takes note of this and walks back to his group of friends. The next day was uneventful a funeral or three but nothing much.

"Lady Setsuna, Do you know of my past?"

"Of course M'lord. I, or rather my father, brought you here. It was our secret... The others of the court would not understand if they knew the King of the most powerful kingdom in the known universe was of a different world."

"They would also not understand if they knew that their time Mistress' Mother was from the same world."

"You really should tell your daughter that you will be training her in...."
