In the Eyes of an Angel Chapter 12
By: Mia Dorothy Rain Sanada Winner Kasshu
Disclaimer: I don't own G Gundam or any of its characters. But I do own most everything that is associated with Kina Motsuya, including her name.
A/N: I'm resurrecting Kyoji, just so I don't confuse you.
Another A/N: This takes place four years after the final battle with the Devil Gundam.
Yet another A/N: There's gonna be a lot of cussing in this chappie, so if it offends you, gomenasi, but it fits the plot. I was kinda reading Blade of the Immortal.
~*~
It had been three weeks since the attack of the Devil Gundam, and the switch between Kina and Serena. Kyoji and Kina finally admitted their feelings to the rest of the Shuffle Alliance. George and Marie Louise had to head back to Neo-France, on account of that the next battle to decide who was going to represent Neo-France was coming soon, and George said that he need to prepare himself for the training ahead so he could once again represent Neo-France in the next upcoming year long Gundam fight.
Nastasha was ordered by the Neo-Russian government to bring back Argo to spend the rest of the time getting ready for him for the upcoming decisive match. So, the Neo-Russian fighter and Nastasha left as soon as she got the message.
Chibodee and his crew were off to also prepare himself for the match, and the same with Sai. Kina had heard that Sai had taken off without the monks knowing, and when Celina heard that Sai took off, she immediately followed. But when Sai returned, the monks were so happy to see him alive.
Domon and Rain stayed in the same place, the Neo-Japan colony. Kina and Kyoji frequently checked up on them, and vice versa. Domon continued training, because the decisive match for the title of Neo-Japanese fighter was also around coming around the corner.
"Hey, Kina? What are we gonna do now that the Devil Gundam has been eliminated?" Kyoji asked Kina as she opened the door to her room. The two had been out for a later morning walk.
"The Devil Gundam itself hasn't been eliminated, only the source of power has. But, Domon told me that he sent Serena to live with Neo-Denmark's Gundam Fighter, only on Celina's suggestion." Kina told him. Kina had also been informed that Celina went back with Sai to Neo-China, and left Serena to go Neo-Denmark on her own, without telling her brother this. When her brother found all this out, he was stunned. Not only because of the decision that his sister decided to make, but with the beauty she sent him in her place. Her brother and Serena immediately clicked. Serena emailed her father, asking if he would ship all of her furniture to Neo-Denmark.
"How is that working out anyways?" Kyoji asked Kina as the two of them walked into the hotel room.
"I dunno, you tell me. You are her brother after all." Kina responded. Her laptop screen flashed saying that she had missed an important call. She quickly sat down in front of the laptop and clicked on the icon.
"This message is for Ms. Kina Grace Motsuya," A female with long dark purple hair came on the screen, "This is Commissioner Eve, the person who took over for Sire Motsuya, her father. If Ms. Motsuya wants the title of Neo-Antarctica's representative in the Gundam Fights next year, then she is to come back to the Neo-Antarctician colony to participate in the decisive match for the title. But, I need to know in less than 24 hours. That would be 9 o'clock tomorrow morning in Neo-Antarctician time. This is Commissioner Eve signing off." And the screen went blank.
"Dammit!" Kina hit the table.
"What's wrong?" Kyoji asked her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I hafta go back to that colony! We've never had a decisive battle, because there's always been one fighter on that colony!" Kina exclaimed.
"I know, I got a message for me to come back to Neo-Germany for the match there. I'm almost positive I'll win, but, I've still gotta go back." Kyoji reassured her.
"But that's not the problem. I guess ever since I ripped my head off and went running, other people wanted to become the fighter for Neo-Antarctica. I never imagined that anyone else would care that much about Neo-Antarctica." Kina muttered.
"Then why do you fight for that country?" Kyoji asked her.
"This may sound really ignorant to you, but it gives me something to do. There's no real government down there, and the best paying job is being a prostitute, and I sure as hell ain't doin that. Yeah, there are other jobs, but it's worse than hell down there. That's why I never wanna live there. Yeah, I'm a citizen of that colony, but I don't live there. I usually travel around from colony to colony." Kina explained to him.
"One, it doesn't sound ignorant to me, but from what I can remember, I don't remember it being that bad. Two, I thought I remember you saying that you had a goal when you fought. What was it? I forgot." Kyoji asked as he went for some coffee, "Want some?" He offered her.
"Yeah. My goal was that when I became Neo-Antarctica's fighter, I was told that if I was to win the championship, then the government, or lack of, said that they would hire delegates from other colonies to help straighten out our colony. My Father told me that everything would be okay, if I won the championship. So, I struggled until that fateful day." Kina sighed as she went to stand up.
"Well, why don't you compete in another countries tournament?" Kyoji suggested as he handed her a cup of coffee.
"For one reason, on my records, I was labeled as a good-for-nothing. That was another goal of mine. My father also told me that if I won the championship for Neo-Antarctica, then that title would be erased from my records and I could leave that miserable country to fight for someone else's." She admitted, taking a sip of her coffee.
"So, you wanted to fight for Neo-Antarctica so you could be able to fight as other nations' fighter?"
"That's right. You're beginning to understand me."
"Ha! Now, are you able to understand me?"
"You're like an open book! It would be very easy to read you and you're actions."
"Domon didn't at the Guinea Highlands."
"Well, I'm not Domon, am I?"
"No."
"There's your answer."
"Oh."
Kina smirked and set her coffee down, "What does that mean?!" She stood up. Kyoji shrugged as he eyed her suspiciously. He felt a small blush and she leaned over, her face merely inches from his. Kina chuckled, "Right now, you're blushing because I'm actually inches from your face. Am I right?"
Kyoji blushed even harder, "R…right…o…on…" He stuttered. Kina laughed and sat down on the chair arm next to him. 'She's teasin me.' Kyoji thought as Kina slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his.
Kina felt Kyoji cringe when her arms touched his skin, "Relax, Kyo-san. It's broad daylight!"
"What has that gotta do with anything?" He asked her defiantly, taking another sip of his coffee.
"Well, I sure as hell wouldn't do anything, like what is running through your mind right now, in broad daylight." Kina laughed as Kyoji choked on his coffee. He held his hand up to his mouth to catch the out-coming coffee the crept out from his lips.
Just then, Kina's laptop went off. Kina let go of Kyoji and dashed to her purple laptop. She flipped it open, "Hello?" She asked.
The purple haired woman once again appeared, "Ms. Motsuya?" She asked her.
"Yeah?" Kina responded, eyes narrowed.
"This is Commissioner Eve. I wanted to know if you got my message."
"I did."
"And?"
"I'll be attending. But rest assured, I will win the decisive match."
Eve chuckled to herself, "Oh, yes. Just make sure that if you do, you don't rip off your own head."
Kina cocked an eyebrow, "Is that supposed to be funny?"
"Well, considering that you disgraced this whole colony, yes."
"Me?! Disgrace Neo-Antarctica?! I'm sorry, but if you had a more decent control over things down there, then maybe it would be my fault. There's more in the colony that is disgraceful to make up for a million of 'em!"
"I beg your pardon!"
Kyoji coughed, as if in warning to Kina to watch her temper. Kina sighed, "Fine, just expect me there. When does it take place?" Kina asked the commissioner.
"In two days. Be prepared. I'm expecting you there, Kina Grace Motsuya." And with that, Commissioner Eve signed off.
"What nerve that woman has! She is the replacement for my father, even down to the arrogant attitude!" Kina spat as she slammed her laptop shut.
"I can see what you mean. My battle isn't until next week. Do you want me to come down with you and help you prepare for it?" Kyoji asked her, gently putting his hand on her shoulder.
Kina looked up at him with a pleading look, "Would you?" She asked him.
"You don't need to gimme that look for me to go. Of course, I'll come. Plus, it would be nice to see you in actual action with other Gundams besides the Devil Gundam." Kyoji smiled.
"Thanks, hon." Kina smiled as Kyoji and her lips met. After awhile, Kina pulled away, "Should we let Domon and Rain know?" She asked him, a little out of breath.
"Nah, Domon's got a lot of training to do. Come on, let's get packed for the trip down there." Kyoji responded, a little out of breath as well.
He held out his hand for her, she took hold of it, he yanked her up and she lost her balance and landed in his chest. Kina blushed and pushed herself out of his sweet smelling shirt, 'He's been into that cologne again.' Kina thought as Kyoji and her walked down the hall.
An hour later, Kyoji and Kina boarded a plane that flew directly to Neo-Antarctica. When they entered the plane, they saw millions of small children, most likely orphans, sitting on the plane. Kina kept her glance straight ahead, while Kyoji looked around at these poor children. Some little girl was crying in the corner of her seat. Her long deep, dark brown hair flowed over her arms. Kina stopped and looked at her, then the memories of Serena came flooding back into her mind of when she was just like that little girl. Kina smiled and pulled out a small candy cane that was handed to her as she boarded the plane.
She scooted over to the little girl, "Hey, now. Stop cryin. Here." Kina smiled as she handed the cane to the little girl. The small girl stopped crying and looked at Kina with cautious eyes. Her eyes were a real stern blue, but her eyebrows looked familiar. Kina recognized this look in the small girls eyes, oh so well, "It's alright. I wouldn't hurt you."
The girl smiled and took the candy cane from Kina with such glee. But then the girl took another look at Kina, this time, eyes wide in surprise, "Aren't you Kina Motsuya? The Neo-Antarctician fighter?" She asked in a surprised tone.
"Sshh, that's a small secret between just you and me." Kina smiled as she wiped a tear from the small girl's face.
"And isn't that the Neo-Germany fighter?" She asked, pointing towards Kyoji.
"How'd ya guess?" Kina chuckled.
"I recognized the outfit. But where's his mask?" She asked, face brightening up.
"He lost his mask. Ever since the last Gundam fight, he decided not to wear it anymore. How do you know all this?" Kina asked the little girl.
"My father was an expert on Gundams. He used to help out with the adjustments to Shining Gundam and God Gundam."
"Who was your father?"
"I don't really remember."
"What is your name?"
"Nara Elubay."
Kina cringed at that name. Then her eyes softened when she realized what terrible things that she must've gone through.
"Excuse me? But I don't recall ever hearing that you could talk to her. Or any of these pests, to be matter-of-fact." A stern female voice cautioned Kina.
Kina stood up and looked her straight in the eye, "I am Kina Grace Motsuya, the past representative of Neo-Antarctica in the Gundam fight. Have you heard of me?"
"How could I have not?"
"I'm taking this child with me, as, how would you say it, an apprentice of mine."
"What are you gonna teach her? How to rip off a Gundam's head?"
Kina's hand met with the female's face, "I didn't care for your comment. Now, I take her with me, or I'll put in a bad word with the Commissioner."
The headmaster gulped and looked Kina straight in the eyes, "Fine. You do that. But I don't wanna see her anymore. Her father was one to be hated."
"I know."
"Huh? How do you know?"
"I have my ways." Kina smirked as Nara picked up her bags and walked back to first class with her and Kyoji.
When the three of them walked into the first class seating area, Nara looked up at Kina, "Thank you." She bowed, voice low.
Kyoji looked at Kina with curious eyes, "There's no need for that. Now, sit here and I'll be back. Okay?" Kina asked as Nara smiled happily and nodded. Kina smiled back as she turned around and she motioned Kyoji to follow her.
Kyoji leaned his back against the back of the wall, "Why?" He asked Kina.
"Because, she's Elubay's daughter. If she knows that much information on the Gundams, then she needs to stay with someone that knows about the Gundams, so that no one gets word of what this kid might know." Kina explained to him.
"More rather you're motherly instinct took over and you felt pity for her." Kyoji simplified.
"Hey!" Kina responded, then paused, "I'm not that bad, am I?" Kina asked him.
Kyoji's eyes widened at her response, "No. I didn't mean it that way. I was really only joking with you. But I have noticed that ever since you and Serena split, you have grown a little softer than you were when we first met." He admitted.
Kina smirked, "Oh, really?" She backed up and pounced on him, grabbing both of his arms and pinning his legs to the ground with her legs, "Gotcha!"
"Oh, yeah? That's what you think…" Kyoji smiled as he flipped Kina over, putting her in the same position that she had him.
"How the hell did you manage that one?" Kina asked him.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Kyoji smartly replied.
"Well, you're plan ain't so flawless." Kina admitted as she reached her arm up to grab his and pulled his arm away so he would lose his balance and grip on her.
Sure enough, Kyoji fell, right on top of Kina, "Damn you…." He cursed as Kina wriggled her way out from under Kyoji.
Little did the couple know was that little Nara was watching the two of them fight. She giggled as she watched the two trying to pin the other down. A flight attendant came by and gasped as she came in just when Kyoji had pinned down Kina down again, with his face inches from hers. Kina felt Kyoji's breath on her face as he kept a real sharp eye out for any moves that she made.
The flight attendant closed her eyes, turned around with her back to the two fighters-blushing, and said, loudly, "The plane will be leaving in a minute, I suggest that everyone here gets into a seat and buckle up until the sign on the top says that you can freely move about."
Nara pulled at the flight attendants skirt, "Ma'am, there's only us three on this part of the plane."
"Yes, I know." She responded.
"Then why are you acting like you're talking to someone else besides us three?"
"Well….uh…" The flight attendant looked at her, dumbfounded. Then her beeper went off, signaling that the plane was about to take off.
"Ms. Kina, Mr. Neo-Germany, the plane is about to take off!" Nara told the two.
When the flight attendant saw the two of them fighting, they immediately stopped and Kina curled into the corner, a little embarrassed. Kyoji, a tad bit embarrassed himself, stood up and held out his hand to help Kina up. Kina took his hand and he yanked her up off of the ground. The two began for their seats when little Nara quickly reminded them about the plane.
"Yes, we know. Thank you for reminding us." Kina sighed, a faint red hue still on her face, as she sat down next to Kyoji.
"My name is Kyoji, Nara." Kyoji smiled as he corrected her.
"Okay, Mr. Kyoji." Nara smiled sweetly back at him. Kyoji's heart melted at her small smile. From what he could remember of Serena, her smile looked just like the one on this little girl's face.
A few hours later, the three of them had fallen asleep. Since the sign that said you could get up had come on, little Nara had sat on Kina's lap, with her little head resting on Kina's chest. Kina had wrapped her arms around the smaller girl's body, and rested her head on Kyoji's shoulder. Kyoji rested his head on top of Kina's, and his arm was wrapped around her waist. The same flight attendant passed through, saw the three, and smiled, 'They look like one happy family.' She thought as she walked on. She was going to ask the three of them if they wanted anything, but she decided not to disturb them and let them sleep.
Soon after, an announcement came over the intercom, "We will be arriving in Neo-Antarctica in a few minutes. I suggest that you put your seat belts and prepare for landing." That woke the three of them up. Little Nara moved back to her seat next to Kina, rubbing her eyes. Kina kept her head on Kyoji's shoulder, and his arm was still around her waist. Kina knew that she was way too comfortable to move, but she knew that she had to. So, slowly she moved her head away from Kyoji, but his hand forced her to stay where she was, "Kyoji?" Kina asked him, tilting her head to look up at him.
His face was stern, "Something's up," He looked down at Kina, eyes still hard, "Hon, watch over Nara. Someone's on this plane and I don't particularly like the vibes they're giving off." Kyoji warned, and slowly stood up.
"Right," Kina nodded and instructed Nara to get out of her seat. Nara did as she was told, and sat on Kina's lap. Kina felt this persons' energy and wasn't getting the best energy readings herself. Kyoji had left, leaving the two of them behind. Kina knew that she could protect herself, but could she also protect little Nara?
"Well, took 'im long enough." An evil voice laughed from behind the seat of Kina.
Kina whipped out of the seat and took fighting stance, "Nara! Stand back!" She told the small girl.
"Right, Ms. Kina." Nara nodded and backed off.
"Show yourself." Kina ordered in a low tone.
A tall, lanky man slowly rose from behind the seat. His long gray hair swung in his face, covering his eyes. A scythe was in his grip, and it looked pretty sharp to Kina. 'Something's familiar 'bout him.' Kina thought as she kept her glance firm on the man.
"You should know who I am, dear Kina." The man spoke in such a gruff voice. Suddenly, he looked up, his golden eyes shining right into hers, "Bring him in." He spoke.
"F….ather?" Kina stuttered.
"Correct." The man laughed.
"K…ina….get out now." Kyoji's voice came from behind.
Kina whipped around to see him, battered and beaten, "Kyoji? But how?" She asked, running towards him.
"Don't worry bout that, get Nara outta here. You're the two main ones they want!" Kyoji yelled at her.
Kina hesitated, "Fine. But I wanna see you get outta this alive." She told him as she quickly grabbed Nara and began to call for her Gundam.
"Oh no you don't." Sire Motsuya laughed and snapped his fingers. The two guards that held Kyoji dropped him and pounced on Kina. They grabbed her arms and stepped on her legs so she wouldn't move.
"No! Kina!" Kyoji yelled out for her.
"Ms. Kina!" Nara called out.
"Now, give her the poison she once had flowing through her veins. Or rather, let her father do it!" Sire Motsuya pulled out a small container and walked over to Kina.
"You bastard!" Kina muttered as she struggled to get free.
"Now, that's no way to talk to your father, is it? Where's that politeness that your mother taught you?"
"Yeah, Mom taught me alright, it was you that really needed the teachin! You were the one that killed her after all!"
The back of Sire Motsuya's hand went straight across Kina's face. His hand went straight under her chin, forcing her mouth to open, "You will die, and I can finally live my life in peace." He laughed as he opened the container.
"Maybe you will be able to live in peace, but there are others you won't."
"Huh?" Sire Motsuya and the two guards looked in Kyoji's direction.
Kyoji was being helped up by little Nara. When he looked up at the three of them, his blue eyes looked at them with an ice cold stare. He was badly wounded as it was, and he didn't need to be moving, but that was Kyoji. A smirk played on his lips, "You heard me. You're not the only one in this world, it doesn't revolve around you. Just because one person dies doesn't mean that everyone will live in peace." Kyoji spat, as a small stream of blood trickled down out of the corner of his lips.
"What is meant by that?" Sire Motsuya asked Kyoji, walking towards him.
"Well, you see Sire, you're daughter and I are seeing each other. So, if you kill her, then there really be no peace in my heart."
"And I care?"
"You should. Because whoever's hands takes her life is gonna die in mine."
"Are you threatening me?"
"You finally got it. Took ya long enough."
"Watch it youngster. I am the Undefeated of the South."
"Like I give a shit."
"Watch your mouth!"
"Shut yours!"
"Shuddup!" Kina screamed at the two men. They turned and looked at her in surprise. Kina swiftly kicked the guards that were holding her, their grip released from her. She stood up, and glared at the old man that stood before her.
"You wanna fight your old man?" Sire Motsuya tantalized.
"Dammit! Go away! I don't wanna have your blood on my hands! Ever since that day you poisoned me, I've built up this hatred against you," Kina rolled her hands into fists, "But I don't wanna end your life. Just go away…I never wanna see your face again." Kina turned her back just as a small tear streamed down her face.
"Kina…." Kyoji whispered. He knew that she was hurting inside. It was what inside Domon when he was searching for him.
"Neo-Antarctician police! Put your hands in the air!"
Kina smirked and whipped around, "So this place does have some control over the people?"
