~*~*~ Gundam 07: Cosmic Darkness ~*~*~
Hey! By now I don't feel like writing, 'By: Rogue Angel Barton', even though I just did. I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon... *sniff sniff* Hey I know not too many people read this fic, but I just gotta put the announcement in every fic.
I know that my grammar, spelling and mechanics are not the best in the world. That's why, I'm trying to find an editor. At least someone I can send the fic to, that would tell me what mistakes I made, where I need to improve, whether the chapter is good or not, you know, give me some ideas. A betareader basically. And well, I'm too lazy to really work and ask around, so I'm just going to put up the announcement in my fics. If you are interest, please give email me, at DevilzAngel72@aol.com. Or you can just say in the review, if you deem this story worth reviewing, that you're interested and leave an email address. Thanks! Love ya!
Now on to the beginning of the fun in Gundam 07!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
Suddenly Heero got a strange feeling. His whole body seemed to be attracted to one part of another shelf. He carefully walked over and saw a strange silver glow. He moved the other objects aside, as the feeling grew stronger. The glow brightened, almost blinding him. Then as he removed the last object hiding it, a bright silver flash blinded him.
After the light died down slightly, Heero opened his eyes. He gasped in amazement as his eyes widened. Before him was the most beautiful necklace he had ever seen. And the amazing thing was, it was floating two inches off the tabletop.
Slowly and hesitantly, Heero reached out to take the precious object. Once his hand came in contact with it, the light dimmed as it landed solidly in his hand. It was heavy, showing off its precious value, but not so heavy as to weigh down the wearer's neck.
Heero gently fingered the necklace. The chain, was not thin but not thick, just the right width. Upon closer inspection, Heero decided that the chain was platinum, and beautifully crafted as well. It was about 20 inches long, and would hang from a slender neck. But what amazed Heero the most was the jewel that hung from the beautiful chain. It was a beautiful sapphire, a deep blue color, bordering on purple, almost like his own eyes. Upon closer inspection, Heero realized that it was exactly like the color of his eyes. Touching the precious stone, he found it peculiar that it was cut into the shape of a tear. But that was where the beauty of it laid, the simplicity of the cut was only overshadowed by its beauty. The sapphire was about an inch and a half long, the thickness about a centimeter at the base of the tear and lessened as it reached the upper tip. The back was flat while the front was 3 dimensional, a semicircle at the base and the wide part of the tear.
The necklace blew his breath away. Heero then noticed that it had no platinum back to connect the sapphire to the chain itself. The chain just simply attached itself to the jewel, with no metal surface on the jewel itself.
"I see you have found 'Tear of Sorrow' young man."
Heero snapped around to look at the old woman that was standing behind him. He shifted his gaze to the necklace that he held in his hands. 'Tear of Sorrow'?
"Why does it have such a sorrowful name ma'am?"
The old woman sighed as she looked at the necklace.
"It has a sad legend behind its origin young man."
Heero nodded. His curiosity, for once, overcame him.
"And the legend is?"
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess, who was deeply in love with a price. They had the most beautiful love the universe has ever seen. It was true and pure in the deepest sense. The prince gave this necklace to the princess one Valentine's day. The two lived in bliss for a year, until it was time for the next Valentine's Day. The prince was killed on that day, and princess disappeared. The jewel was lost, as was a locket that represented their eternal love. And it was given the name by the princess' mother, 'Tear of Sorrow'."
Heero nodded numbly, somehow, he knew that story. However the feeling soon passed.
"How much is it?"
"You're young and since it's for a lady, you may take it, free of charge."
Heero felt his mouth drop open. Wow/
"Are you sure?"
"Yes young man."
"Thank you ma'am!"
Heero bowed as the old woman ushered him out the store. Once Heero left, a joyous and youthful giggle was heard before the store vanished.
Heero thought he heard musical laughter but ignore it. Walking over to the bench where Hotaru had left him. He sat down and turned to look at the shop, but found it gone. His heart stopped as he gasped. Whoa! Where's the store?
"Heero?"
Heero turned around with his mouth wide open. He looked at Hotaru as she stared at him with a curious smile.
"Why is your mouth hanging open Hee-chan?"
"Er... nothing... I guess."
Hotaru and Heero stood around awkwardly as they looked around. Hotaru bit her lower lip.
"Why don't we get something to eat?"
"Sure thing."
Heero picked up all of Hotaru's bags and started to walk towards the food court. Hotaru smiled as she looped her arm around Heero's left arm. Heero looked at Hotaru with a small smile on his face. Hotaru smiled and dragged him towards the food court.
"I thought you didn't like to eat."
"Yeah I don't, but I know you're starving."
Heero smiled sheepishly as his stomach growled loudly. Hotaru giggled. There were no empty tables when they got there. A couple of punks were sitting around a table, and were mocking people. Heero watched as a waitress with flaming red hair and green eyes walked up to the leader... who just happened to be a chick.
"Excuse me Miss, can you and your friends leave?"
The girl looked at the waitress, her Prussian eyes glared at the stuttering waitress.
"Who's gonna make us lady? You?"
The group laughed before one of the guys tried to make a move on the waitress. The leader, the girl with the light brown hair, laughed. Her friend, the one with the shoulder length raven hair and violet eyes smirked.
"Come on waitress, I thought you wanted us to leave. Makes us... we're so scared."
The waitress merely stood there as the guys of the group hounded her. Heero and Hotaru growled as they headed over to the table. Hotaru cleared her throat.
"I suggest you guys back off before someone gets hurt."
The leader and her friend looked at Hotaru and Heero. The violet-eyed one smirked.
"Yeah, someone's gonna get hurt, like you goody two shoes."
They all had a good laugh at that. Hotaru felt her anger boil. Her body glowed violet and suddenly, the punks were knocked off the tables and chairs.
"Leave."
The group ran screaming as Hotaru sat down at the table. Smiling at the girl, she asked for a Sprite. The waitress thanked her, but Hotaru just smiled. Heero ordered a hot dog, a burger, French fries, and a Coke. Hotaru smiled at him as the food came.
"Careful, don't turn into Duo."
"What? I'm a growing boy!"
Hotaru giggled.
"You've been hanging out with Duo too much."
Heero smiled sheepishly as he started to eat. Hotaru's eyes drooped.
"Hey, you okay? That wasn't too much energy you used, but it looks like it kinda wiped you out."
Hotaru simply shook her head. She sighed; it's been a while since she used her powers. She needed to get the hang of it again, because there were always the scouts.
A gentle hand massaged her tense shoulders. Almost immediately, Hotaru began to relax. She closed her eyes, and allowed herself to melt at the touch of Heero's hands. A few minutes later, she was completely calm and her worries forgotten.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
Hotaru leaned back slightly and looked at the face of a smirking Heero Yuy. She shook her head.
"Nothing important."
"It's gonna be important if you're in such a daze."
"It's okay... really."
"...Alright..."
Heero sat back down across the table, his eyes telling Hotaru that he was not entirely convinced.
"Hurry up Heero, I gotta wrap these."
Heero nodded before stuffing the burger in his mouth. Hotaru rolled her eyes.
"Geez, don't choke."
Heero shrugged and picked up the bags once again. He scratched his head.
"How will these fit on the bike?"
Hotaru glared at him.
"Great."
Heero shrugged. Looking around, Heero caught sight of a Preventer car. Running quickly to it, Heero transformed into the Perfect Soldier that he was known for.
"Excuse me."
It came out in such a growl that the young officer in the car looked up. Gulping at Heero's death glare, he tried to act cool.
"How can I help you sir?"
"I need your car."
"I'm sorry sir, but this is Preventer property, and I can't just let anyone have it."
Heero bent down and leaned an elbow against the frame of the car. He smiled his sinister smile and played with the badge on the young man's chest. The young man was clearly scared as he fidgeted. Hotaru smiled inwardly, Heero was having some fun.
"And who do you think I am?"
Heero's voice was deadly and emotionless. The officer's eyes were wide with fear.
"I-I would be... be so... so ignorant.... that I... I do not know sir."
Heero turned to Hotaru with an expression of mock shock.
"Wow Tenshi, someone doesn't know me."
Hotaru smirked. Tenshi eh? He wanted her to play along? She agreed as she walked over to Heero and laid a hand on his shoulder. She glared at the guy in the car. HE was now down right petrified! He was deadly pale, his eyes darting around, fear in his eyes.
"That's a new one."
The guy seemed to finally realize that he was a Preventer, and that included being brave. He puffed out his chest and tried to sound brave.
"I-I-I'm s-sorry, bu-but this is a Preven-Preventer vehicle."
Heero smiled and nodded in approval.
"That's the way a Preventer should act, not scared at all."
The young officer seemed pleased with himself. But then he got too bold.
"Then please step away."
Hotaru laughed, bitterly and cold.
"WE can't."
"Why not Miss?"
"We need the car."
"You can't have it."
Heero smirked, appreciating that the two of them had dressed so... what's the word... rebellious. Heero turned to see Tenshi glaring at the poor guy.
"We'll just have to take it from you."
Tenshi smiled at Heero's response as she ran the back of her hand along his cheek.
"I suppose we will."
The Preventer paled even more. Heero pet his hand into his jacket, about to pull out something. The Preventer grabbed his gun and started to raise it. Tenshi, with her lightning reflexes, grabbed the gun out of his hand and started to twirl it around her index finger. Heero smirked as the Preventer paled and closed his eyes.
"Bang."
When the Preventer opened his eyes, he found two laughing rebels. Heero stopped and smiled at the officer.
"Sorry, today just ain't your luck day."
Hotaru managed to tone it down to a giggle. She smiled warmly at him.
"Sorry Preventer boy, we're still taking the car."
The officer looked at Heero, who had his identification in front of him. The guy looked at it, and his jaw dropped.
"Col. Yuy! I'm sorry!"
The officer shook as he unbuttoned his seatbelt and scrambled out of the car, falling on his ass in the attempt. He took off running as Heero smirked and placed everything inside. He turned to Hotaru.
"Why don't you take the bike? I'm pretty sure you don't wanna be caught dead in this thing."
Hotaru giggled before kissing him on the nose. She grabbed the keys and ran off. Heero sighed.
"I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret this."
^^^
Arriving home safely, was a miracle. Heero glared at Hotaru as she smiled sheepishly and got off the scratched bike. Grabbing her bags, she raced upstairs to wrap everything. Heero sighed and grabbed his stuff, and sneaked into his room.
"Yo guys, wanna come with us to town for take out?"
Duo's loud voice was heard throughout the mansion. Everyone was down stairs, waiting for the two Perfect Soldiers. Heero looked at them and shook his head.
"No, work."
Duo grinned.
"Sure... work..."
Duo winked at Heero before running out of the house. Setsuna nodded.
"I suppose you don't wanna come either Hotaru?"
Hotaru appeared from the shadows and shook her head. Heero and Hotaru exchanged secretive smiles before heading saying goodbye to everyone. The others merely shrugged, and accepted that the two wanted to be alone.
As the others left, Heero and Hotaru smiled at each other.
"Are you finished wrapping presents?"
Hotaru sighed and shook her head. Heero smiled at her and hugged her.
"I'll help you."
"Ooooohhh, is my present one of them that you have to wrap?"
"No, what about mine?"
"Who said I got you anything?"
Heero pouted at Hotaru.
"That's mean Ru."
Hotaru giggled before standing on her tiptoes, and kissing Heero's pouting lips. Heero glared at her.
"Why can't I ever resist you?"
"You can't, and you don't want to."
Heero smiled and bent down to kiss her.
"I hate it when you're right."
"You must be very hateful person then."
Heero groaned at her bad joke. Dragging Hotaru to his door, he told her to go get the presents.
^*^*^*^*^*^
"EVERYONE WAKE UP!!! CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!"
Everyone groaned as Duo started racing down the hallway and banging on all the doors. Heero groaned as he heard Duo banging on his door to no end.
"MAXWELL STOP YOUR RANTING AND LET ME GET SOME SLEEP!!!!"
Heero looked at the alarm clock. It was 6 in the morning for god's sakes.
"COME ON GUYS! WAKE UP!!!"
"DUO MAXWELL LET ME GET SOME FREAKING SLEEP!"
Heero smiled; maybe Hotaru could shut him up. When the noise continued, Heero decided to get out of bed. Maybe if he got up, Duo would let him sleep later. Not feeling the cold, Heero pulled on a pair of baggy black sweatpants and a puffy vest. Grumbling, he opened the door and started walking downstairs.
Heero yawned once he entered the living room. He saw everyone but Hotaru, sitting around. Quatre was smiling, Setsuna and Milliardo were kissing, Duo was jumping up and down, Wufei was muttering and sharpening his katana, and Trowa was leaning against the wall.
"Hey Heero!"
Heero grumbled as he remained by the door. A second later, Hotaru walked in with wild hair. Heero smiled at her.
"Nice hair Hotaru."
Hotaru glared at Heero before joining the others. Heero however, remained where he was.
"Come on Heero, join us!"
Everyone agreed with Setsuna. Heero shook his head. Hotaru stood up ad walked over to him.
"Don't be in the shadows as always..."
Hotaru grabbed Heero's hand and led him to the others. Heero sat down on the couch, and Hotaru sat on his lap. Setsuna gave everyone a present.
"Ready... set... go!"
Everyone tore into their presents. Duo laughed as he ripped off the red wrapping paper that Hotaru spent so long on. A second later, it revealed a pair of new Calvin Klein sunglasses and two tickets to the new Linkin Park concert on the Colony L2 in a month.
"Thanks Hotaru!"
Hotaru giggled as Duo kissed her. Heero only glared at Duo with the promise of death in his eyes. Duo shrugged. Trowa thanked Duo for the whole collection of Harry Potter up to book seven as well as the whole DVD collection. Setsuna kissed Quatre on the cheek for the beautiful emerald earrings. Quatre blushed; afterwards, he thanked Milliardo for the Stradivarius violin.
"Thanks Milliardo! I've been looking for one since forever!"
Trowa gave Wufei a new white silk ancient Chinese martial arts outfit. Heero gave Milliardo two cruise tickets to Hawaii.
"Use them well Mills."
"Thanks Heero!"
Everyone laughed, as Setsuna blushed deep scarlet. Next, Wufei gave Hotaru $150 to the nearby mall.
"Thanks Wufei! Now you can take me shopping!"
Wufei's mouth fell open as he paled. Heero snickered.
"I feel sorry for you! Haha!"
Hotaru glared at Heero and smiled sweetly.
"Since you were so kind to Wufei Heero, you can come to."
Heero paled as Wufei laughed. Setsuna took this opportunity to give Heero a box wrapped with green. Heero took the box and slowly opened it. Inside was a large book, with ancient brown leather cover and binding. The pages looked slightly yellow and it cracked when you turned a page. In large silver lettering said, 'Tales of the Silver Millenium.'
"Setsuna... it's beautiful. Thank you."
Setsuna nodded and saw the look that Hotaru was giving her. Setsuna merely shrugged off the questioning look in Hotaru's eyes. Then everyone else started to open their presents.
After ten minutes, wrapping paper was everywhere. Milliardo walked over to Setsuna. HE gave her a small box.
"What is it Milliardo?"
"Just open it."
Setsuna gasped. Inside was a beautiful broach of garnet. A tear fell from her eye.
"Thank you. No one has ever given me something this beautiful."
"Then they must all be fools."
Milliardo kissed Setsuna, telling her how much he loved her. Setsuna kissed him back, telling him how much she loved him back. Setsuna suddenly pulled away. She smiled and gave Milliardo a small box.
"Go ahead."
Milliardo opened the box and his eyes widened. Inside was an ancient looking ring? IT was silver, but so aged that it looked black at certain parts. In the middle was a heart, formed by garnet as well.
"I didn't know what to give you."
Milliardo smiled and kissed Setsuna again.
Hotaru smiled at the couple. They really were cute together. She looked at Heero, who was just sitting on the couch. She sighed and walked over to him. Curling her legs under her, Hotaru snuggled against him. Heero watched her, and slipped an arm around his waist.
"What's wrong?"
"Here's your present."
Heero was shocked as Hotaru gave him a dark blue jewelry box. Opening it, Heero gasped. Inside was a long platinum chain, dog tags. Heero smiled at Hotaru and picked up the first one.
Heero Yuy
First class assassin, demolition expert,
Grade A hacker, Gundam Pilot, undercover agent.
Preventers and Gundam Pilot.
Heero snorted.
"Gee you want them to know my history huh?"
Hotaru shrugged and pointed to the next one. Heero's eyes widened at this one.
Odin Lowe Jr.
Adoptive father: Odin Lowe-
1st class assassin
Assassin at 4
Demolition expert at 5
"How did you know?"
Hotaru looked at Heero and kissed him on the forehead.
"I am a Hacker."
Heero nodded before turning to the next one.
Heero Yuy
Beloved boyfriend
Property of Hotaru Tomoe.
Heero chuckled at this one. Hotaru however blushed. Heero smiled at her.
"I am yours."
Hotaru smiled as Heero pulled out a beautiful black jewelry box. It was pretty big. Hotaru smiled at Heero and took it from him. Hotaru opened it and she gasped. The necklace was beautiful. It was one of the most amazing things she had ever seen. With tears in her eyes, she turned to Heero. Heero frowned as he saw her teary eyes.
"I didn't want to make you cry..."
"Thank you..."
A tear slipped from Hotaru's eye. Heero bent down and kissed away the tear. Hotaru looked at him, he was amazing. Taking the box from her, Heero took the necklace from the case. He then stood up, behind Hotaru, and carefully slipped the platinum chain around her neck. The sapphire tear fell two inches from Hotaru's bosom. She turned to Heero, who smiled at her. Then, Heero bent down, and Hotaru's face rose to meet his. Then, their lips met in a sweet kiss.
Outside, a white snowflake fell. And another and then another followed it.
