"Why are you here?" Trowa asked setting the gun down on the nearby table. The other boy smiled as he lowered his arms.

"Why to see you of course." He answered as Trowa leaned against the railing.

"Why?" Trowa asked eyeing the other boy.

"WHY?! How can you ask me that? Did you forget everything? Oh for the love of God!" Trowa blinked at the ranting boy.

"Why are you so upset?"

"Damn it you're dense." Trowa blinked.

"What?"

"I was worried about you ok?" The other admitted.

"Why? We aren't friends" The other boy sighed.

"Ok cat eyes then answer me this why are you still wearing the cross?" Trowa blinked as he toke the pendent in his hand.

"I saw no reason to remove it. You gave it to me didn't you?"

"Bingo. It looks nice on you."

"Duo likes it to. Why didn't anyone mention you?"

"I hid of course." He other boy answered folding his arms on the railing. "And I'm the reason you're healing so quickly. You're welcome by the way." He turned to look at Trowa.

"Why did you help me anyway?"

"Because I could."

"That's as good a reason as any."

"Listen cat eyes I would appreciate it if you did not mention me to the guys." Trowa arched an eyebrow at him. "Look I don't want to have to answer all their question."

"But you'll answer mine?"

"Of course cat eyes."

"Why?" The other boy straiten long black duster flowing around him like a cape.

"You wouldn't believe if I told you." He sighed "So you got a name cat eyes?"

"Trowa."

"Trowa hun? Cute." Trowa blinked at him. " Don't look at me like that. I think Trowa's a cute name." Trowa shrugged. "You want mine?"

"If you wish to give it."

"For now just call me Angel. So Trowa why'd put the gun down? Is it coz I saved you?"

"No." Angel blinked.

"Then why?"

"You are not a threat." Trowa answered.

"I'm not a threat." Angel repeated. "Am I friend?"

"I did not say that."

"True but you aren't denying it." Trowa frowned slightly. "Aw come on you like me at least a little bit right?" Angel asked taking a few steps towards the taller youth.

"Yes. I like you at lest a little." Angel smiled clapping his hands. "What are you doing?"

"It's called being happy." Angel grinned. " Ever heard of it?"

"You sound just like Duo." Angel blinked.

"Do I now? Do you like Duo?" Trowa nodded.

"Yes I do. Why?"

"Well it's good if I sound like someone you like instead of someone you don't." He sighed. "So Trowa do you still not believe in a God?"

"What do you mean still?" Trowa asked eyes narrowing slightly. Angel bit his lip. ~Damn it~ "Who are you?"

"Look I'm a friend so don't go reaching for that gun. When I healed you I picked up a little bit of you." Trowa blinked. "Please don't be mad." Trowa sighed closing his eyes.

"I am not mad at you Angel. I am sorry if I startled you." Solo placed a hand on Trowa's shoulder.

"It's ok. I know it was just instinct." He watched Trowa's gaze focus on his pale hand for a moment before it moved to him. "Sorry if the touching is bad I'll move my hand."

"You don't have to." Angel blinked confused.

"So you don't mind me touching you? That's good because I love hugging people!" Angel admitted smiling.

"So dose Duo." Trowa commented softly.

"Well that's twice now I've been compared to this Duo guy. You two close?"

"Not really."

"Was he that braided boy?" Trowa nodded. "He was really worried about you."

"I know." Trowa answered softly closing his eyes.

"It must be great living with such close friends. I lived like that until the war separated us." Trowa turned his head to look at him. "I must sound so pathetic rambling on about the past to you."

"Not at all people often confide in me." Angel smiled.

"Is that so?" Trowa nodded again. "Do you confide in anyone?"

"Not really." Angel frowned.

"Not into sharing?"

"No, I just don't have emotional problems like the others."

"It must be nice not feeling worried or depressed or anything like that?" Trowa sighed.

"It does have its advantages but I have learned a lot from the others."

"I bet you have. Do you ever miss being on your own?"

"Not really. Why?"

"Just wondering. I hate being alone myself and I mean hate. You're lucky and I want you to remember that."

"Aren't you alone right now?"

"No I'm with you right now silly. Oh you mean when I leave hun? Nah I've got a few friends waiting for me back home."

"Where is that?"

"Home? Oh up there." Angel answered pointing up at the sky. "The stars don't look as beautiful from up there though."

"They never do." Angel blinked before smiling.

"So true stargazer." Trowa turned to look at him hand gently holding the cross.

"Why did you give this to me?"

"The power of God will protect you." Angel answered. Trowa frowned slightly remembering the last time he had heard those words. "Or Allah, or Jehovah, or whatever you want to call him. And you my cat eyed friend need all the protection you can get as long as you act all kamikaze all the damn time. You need to stop doing that really. I won't always be there to keep you from death."

"I do not believe in God."

"Yeah well that's because you've never seen a miracle just death and war."

"So has Duo."

"Yeah well Duo is not you and he happens to love angels."

"How did you know that?"

"He smiled at the angel you were dieing under. Do you like angels?"

"Angels feel nothing and have no mercy Duo said I'm much like that."

"Not all angels are like that. Some angels are sprits of the dead and they feel."

"Duo said that to." Trowa sighed letting go of the cross.

"So what do I have to do?"

"Hun?"

"For you to call me friend? Tell me and I'll do it." Trowa blinked at him.

"You don't have to do anything."

"Sweet!" Angel cried clapping his hands.

"It doesn't take much to make you happy dose it?"

"Not really. Don't even say it."

"Say what?"

"That that's so Duoish."

"Ok." Angel nodded glancing up at the sky.

"I outta go." He admitted softly turning his head back toward Trowa.

"Why?" Angel blinked.

"Why?" Angel repeated. "Well it's late and this not were I belong. Besides you do need some sleep." Trowa sighed. "Can I come back?"

"What?"

"I'm asking if I can come back to see you again?" Trowa blinked into a pair of shimmering emerald eyes so like his own.

"You did not ask to show up tonight so why do you have to ask if you can do it again?" Angel bit his lip.

"Well I don't want to keep popping up if you don't want me around." He sighed. "And to tell the truth I came by mostly to make sure you were healing nicely which you are. So am allowed to return?" Trowa sighed closing his eyes in thought. Angel walked up to him and toke his hand. ~Please say yes?~ He pleaded silently.

"Yes."

"Look I understand if you don't.wait did I hear a yes?" Trowa nodded.

"Yes you did." Angel smiled hugging Trowa tightly before releasing him, well all but his hand.

"Good.that's very good." Angel rambled squeezing Trowa's hand. "What was I saying?"

"That's very good." Angel smiled.

"Oh yeah. Heh hehe." Trowa shook his head at the giggling boy. "I know, I know Duoish." Angel muttered sticking out his tongue. "Well I had better go before you change your mind and banish me form you presence." Angel teased squeezing Trowa's hand one last time before releasing it. "One more thing remember no telling?" He winked before vaulting off the second story railing. Trowa shook his head thinking of all the times Quatre had yelled at him for doing the very same thing.

"Thank you." Trowa whispered placing his hand on the cross, head slightly bowed eyes closed for a moment before grabbing his gun and heading back inside. A transparent winged Angel sighed. ~You're welcome~ He closed his eyes and was gone.

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

Quatre yawned as he sat up his eyes turning to the feather he had found which was resting on his nightstand. The fragile looking feather shimmered with a hint of silver in the morning's light. "Hum?" He turned when someone knocked on his door. "It's open."

"Good morning Quatre."

"Oh good morning Wufei."

"I wanted to inform you the others let for a mission." Quatre bit his lip. "It was from Sally and Noin." Quatre nodded relaxing a little.

"Is Trowa awake?"

"I have not seen Barton but that means nothing. He may just be sleeping considering what happened that would not surprise me."

"Me neither. Has anyone called for me?

"Rasid said he and the others are enjoying their vacation and hope you are staying out of trouble. " Quatre smiled.

"Good. Well I'm going to check on Trowa hopefully I won't have to find him."

"I'm sure Barton is not doing anything stressful. He was warned by Sally after all."

"Good point. Thanks." Wufei shook his head at the blonde as he ran past him. ~Somethings never change.~

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

"Trowa are you awake?" Quatre asked opening the door and walking in. Trowa opened his eyes and turned his head.

"Morning Cat." Trowa greeted tiredly running his fingers threw his long bangs. "It is morning right?"

"Yes. Are you ok?" Quatre asked concerned sitting down on the bed.

"Just tired Cat I promise." Quatre toke Trowa's hand

"You feel tired but you look better." Trowa closed his eyes squeezing Quatre's hand.

"Where is everyone?"

"Well Wufei said Heero and Duo had a mission.. Trowa is there something between you and Une?" Trowa opened his eyes.

"We have a past but no why?"

"A past? You mean that girl?!" Trowa nodded.

"Yeah Middi is Une now why did you ask?"

"Well Heero went over all the data from your mission and found out someone changed the numbers before Noin co-signed it. But form what you've told me Une doesn't want to see you dead so I'm lost. Do you think it's possible someone changed the numbers before Une ever saw it? I mean she's been really busy dealing with the AGA and others like them she may have been too tried to have noticed." Trowa closed his eyes.

"It is possible but unlikely." Trowa answered laying a hand on his cross. Quatre watched his friend sighed. "Dose she know?"

"Sally said they confronted her about it but Une said she didn't know anything. Noin said she heard talking to herself something about a mask and crying? I'm guessing that had something to do with you?"

"You'd be right."

"You going to tell me?"

"She asked be how long I would wear the mask that dose not cry. I told her for as long as I am able to survive and I still do."

"Why? Why would you say something like that?"

"It is the truth Quatre I am and always will be Nanashi."

"Nanashi is dead. You're Trowa now."

"Trowa Barton is a stolen name and Nanashi will never die as long as I am a pilot."

"No Trowa." Quatre toke his hands. "I don't care how you got your name but it is yours now. You are not who you were."

"That's where you are wrong Quatre I am who I was just a little more human."

"Oh Trowa." Quatre sobbed.

"Quatre please don't cry? You know I hate to see it." Quatre sniffed.

"I know it just.it hurts when I think about what horrible childhoods you guys had and how you still carry the scars."

"Scars fade Quatre just give them time to."

"How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Act so cold but say such things?"

"It's a gift. Cheer up ok?" Quatre nodded.

"Ok but only if you promise to rest?"

"I promise Quatre."

"Good. I'll be in the second story study if you need me." Quatre released his hands and left. Trowa sighed. ~So Middi will we have to confront each other to finish what we started all those years ago? If so may the power of God protect you.~

"There's an Angel tempting me." Katelin's Way opening.

Ok I'm stopping it again. This chapter is lot easier to follow if you've read Episode Zero Manga but the little back-story at the end may have helped If not I am sorry. The next chapter will take place after the mission so it will be latter that day. Oh yeah doesn't Angel remind you of someone? I wonder why that is?
