Twist of Fate

Chapter 3
AN: Yo! I continued! (Applaud me.) This chapter is probably going to be really boring, so sorry if it is. ^_^
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. I do own Daea Winters, so don't be stealin' 'er or I'll have to kill you.

I can't believe neither of them remember! Not one detail! When Setsuna said that they would be clueless as to who I was and even who they were I didn't really believe her. Hotaru and Mako have no idea. Still shocks me to the core. Good thing Setsuna decided to send them awakening dreams otherwise we'd be completely screwed.
Chaos and Strife were on their way. After we abandoned Gaia (1) they finished it off quickly. Everyone soon died of either disease, or famine. Then the two bastards got bored with their dead little play-thing. Now they're coming here, to Demicion (2), to conquer more. Their appetite for destruction is insatiable.
I don't believe Demicion could hold up under their siege. This world is starved of life and still bears open wounds from past wars. It needs time to heal, and time it willn't receive if Chaos and Strife are allowed here. We must head them off at the pass. Phoenix has declared it so.
I sigh out loud, weary from the responsibilities which rest heavily on my shoulders. The thought of just what may happen if I do not succeed fills me with trepidation and fear. I turn the sink's knob and splash icy water on my face. Even that much contact with cold makes me shiver.
"Daea? Are you alright in there?" Hotaru calls through the door. "I'm fine!" I call back, "I'll be out in a minute." I can hear her shuffle away from the door. Exhausted I climb into my pajamas and get out.
~Hotaru's POV~
The door suddenly swung open behind me and I almost tumbled inside. However, Daea reached out a hand and supported me.
"You okay?" She asked
"Fine."
I righted myself, and motioned for Daea to follow me. I walked into the living room without worrying that she wouldn't obey. I heard her steps come to a halt behind me.
"This is where you'll sleep," I told her coldly.
"Sorry, but the fold-out is all we have left," I heard Makoto add behind us. "Don't worry about it. I'll be fine," Daea said. I nodded my head and retreated to my own room, leaving Daea and Makoto behind me.
~Mako's POV~
"Sorry about Hotaru. She's not very friendly until you get to know her," I told the albino girl.
"I don't mind. I understand. I just show up out of nowhere with some orders. I don't expect you to welcome me with open arms."
"Still, she could be a bit more polite." I felt the need to add.
"Maybe so, but I don't care. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm really tired and I'd like to get to bed." Daea told me.
"Sure," I shrugged and left the room.
That girl... there's something familiar about her... I think to myself as I fall asleep later.
AN: Good or bad? Let me know. Short, yes. Boring, I think so. But it's kind of necessary. You know, there's always the calm before the storm.
