Merry Guilty Gear X-Mas!!!!
Hey everybody. Sorry it took so long. Been working on my G Gundam fic lately. And even though I've been wanting to work on this, I promised my G Gundam readers that I'd update on that first. And I keep my promises. Anyway, here's the next installment in the G Gear saga.
Oh, and thanks again Kaiser, your kind words mean a lot to me. And I've decided to take your advice, I'm gonna try to make this a non-script chapter. But I don't have much experience in it so don't blame me if it doesn't turn out that good ok?

NO MERCY
Millia awoke suddenly in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. As she regained her composure she searched the room to get a fix on her position. "Where am I?" Millia thought as she slowly peeled back the white and blue silk sheets back and sat up. Even though she no longer had to worry about Zato-1ONE and his men chasing her, she still had the habit of worrying where she woke up. Her fears of being caught were still somewhere in the back of her mind.
"I'm being silly." Millia thought to herself. "Zato is dead, and Venom..." Millia stopped as the name came to her mind. She remembered how she had acted a week ago, that day that Venom came here. She couldn't believe how she broke down and cried like a child.
Millia scoffed at herself as she remembered how she cried so much that night. Millia hated showing too much emotion. Though since Ky was in her life, she's become more open to people, especially Ky. Still...the thought of breaking down and crying was something Millia wasn't proud of. And for what? For Venom? She once hated his guts, but now she no longer harbored a hatred for him. Still, she wasn't planning on becoming friends with him or anything, not yet at least. Millia shook the thoughts from her head as she concentrated on the present.
She looked around and noticed the familiar room decor. The room was filled with Christian memorabilia from the ceiling to the floor. Crosses everywhere, even a cross design on the center of her sheets. And two Angel statues, one on each side of the bed, each holding swords and extending them towards each other and making an X with the blades over the bed post. Millia looked ahead and to her right, Ky's spacious walk-in closet was open. And she could see it lined with his famous Blue and White Holy Knight uniforms. And on a small table in the center of the room...a Bible. It sat on a cross-design stand. It was slightly worn, but still in great shape. It showed that Ky read it often, but still managed to take care of it.
"This is in Ky's house." Millia thought as she stood up. She pulled the covers completely back and swiveled her legs out and placed her feet onto the hardwood floor. Millia sat on the edge of the bed and stretched by extending her right arm straight out to her side and bending the elbow on her left arm, pulling her fist near her cheek as a slight grunt comes from her throat. Then bringing both arms together over her head and linking her fingers together as she extends her palms upwards towards the ceiling. She slowly breaks the lock on her hands apart and lets her right arm fall to her side as she drops her left hand down to cover her mouth to stifle a yawn.
"This is his room." Millia said as she wiped the sleep from her eyes. "I remember now. Ky let me have his room while he slept in a guest room downstairs. I guess he must really care for me, to give up his best room for me." Millia smiled as the thought came to her head and she immediately wanted to know where her Knight was.
She then pushes herself up from the bed and walks over to a nearby window on her left. She raises it as a cool breeze whips her hair gently and the sun kisses her face. Millia looks outwards across the beautiful sky. She guessed it to be mid morning, around 10am. She was on the 3rd floor so she could see for quite a distance. She noticed Ky's personal lake out back. His gazebo he used for reading and relaxing in. And far off to the left, there was small patch of forest Ky kept on his land. Ky loved the woods, it was a perfect place to train, in Ky's mind at least. Heavy brush and thick vegetation, this was a great place for him to practice his bobbing and weaving techniques as well as his sword techniques on certain trees and stumps along the way. He even built a special arena in the middle of those woods. "Now where is it?" Millia thought as her eyes scanned the foliage. Her eyes soon land on a open patch in the center of the woods.
Ky had a way of making even the most basic things look elegant. His training arena was mainly a huge circle that had been cleared out in the woods. Just level dirt made up the floor of the arena, and the edge was marked with several dense concrete Corinthian pillars.
Millia remembered Ky once mentioning the arena in detail to her. Something about the pillars being about 20 feet tall, and about 4 feet in circumference. And the entire diameter of the ring to be about 100 feet. More than enough space for a serious battle to take place. "Strange." Millia thought. She had never paid much attention to stuff like that. Math bored her, but somehow she remembered that, probably because it was Ky explaining things.
Millia's mind returns to the present and she remembers the task at hand. To look for Ky. She begins to look away from the arena, but something catches her eye. Something moving. Millia is looking on from a distance, but she can still make out two figures standing in Ky's personal training arena.
"But who are they?" Millia thought as her eyes focused in on the one on the right. He/she appeared to be wearing all white, with a few parts that had blue trim, and their hair was sort of short and blonde. The fighter on the left appeared to be wearing a combination of red and black clothes, and they had long...brown...hair. "Oh my gosh." Millia gasped. "It's Ky and Sol."
Millia had a strong desire to see Ky. She didn't know why though. She was never the type to run after a man, or anyone. But Ky just made her feel special when she was around him. Made her feel safe. Millia turned from the window and slipped on her shoes that lay near bedside. She walks across the large room, to a dresser/mirror combo that was directly across from the bed on the opposite side of the room.
It too, like everything else in the room, was a combination of blue and white. But not just any blue and white. This dresser was a combination of white marble tops, and drawers, with blue gem inlay for the handles and trim for the dresser. The finest money can buy.
Millia looked into the oval mirror that stood before her. Her hair was slightly out of place. "Years to perfect control over this hair, I've fought and have even killed with it, but yet I can't tame something as simples bed head." Millia thought as she held her golden locks on her hands before her face. Millia looked across the smooth dresser top for what she needed. Then she spotted it. The same gold plated hairbrush that Ky bought for her just a week ago. She had left it in Ky's car that night, the night everything started to go wrong. Millia looked down for a moment as she reflected on her memories of the past week. She soon dismissed the thoughts as she remembered whom she had an appointment with.
Ky, but one thing bothered her. Why was Sol there as well?
~On the battlefield~
Ky and Sol both face each other off. Each of them grasping their weapon of corruption in their right hand. Both fighters stare into each other's eyes with a look of serious intent as their weapons begin to glow and emanate with their power. The weapons seemed directly in tune with their master's feelings.
"So you've had the same feeling as well the past few days?" Ky spoke as he stares at Sol before him. Sol chuckled slightly as a smirk crossed his face. "Yeah, it's been too long since our last battle."
A slight smirk crosses Ky's face as well when he hears Sol's words and he gives asks one final statement from Sol. "Sa...Hajimi mashoka?"
Sol takes his Fuenken by the handle with his right hand and drives the blade downward into the ground. He then reaches up and places his right hand on the right side of his neck and leans his head to the right as he cracks his neck. His left hand lifts up as his right one drops down and they meet midway. He brings his hands together and cups his left palm over his right fist and applies some slight pressure to crack his right knuckle, then he switches positions and cracks his left knuckle. Then Sol reaches down with his right hand and plucks the Fuenken from its momentary resting place in the ground and raises it, handle first, up to his waist. Sol returns his gaze to Ky and gives his response. "Yeah sure, why not?"
Sol and Ky then begin to circle each other in a clockwise manner for a few seconds. Sol places the thumb of his left hand into his pocket and keeps his right hand on his sword handle as his arm keeps it at waist length with the blade trailing behind him. He takes small effortless steps with little stride as he keeps his eyes locked on the Holy Knight before him.
Ky takes his Furaiken in his right hand and lifts it to about a foot above his head with the blade extending out to the left. As Ky takes slow, medium strides to the right he keeps his body facing Sol and his blade parallel to the ground. He steps out with his right foot first, moving it over about a foot and a half with each step then crosses over his right foot with his left and placing it beside it's twin on the ground. Then he repeats the process over and over as he makes a semi-circle that Sol mirrors in front of him about 10 feet away.
After one full circle the fighters stop in their strides, each with a pillar approximately 45 feet behind them. A strong breeze blows from Ky's left and Sol's right. The breeze causes the loose fabric on their clothes to billow violently in the wind. The wind causes Ky's long bangs to cover his left eye, a distraction that could prove fatal in battle.
It must be dealt with.
Ky raises his Furaiken straight up overhead and passes it to his left hand as he slowly brings it down his left side. He pauses slightly when it reaches about 45-degree angle, with the sword raised outwards to the sky. "Honki de tatta gatere...Sol!" Ky suddenly slashes his sword downward to his left side and stops, as the wind follows suit. Ky seems to cut the air in twain, seeing as how Ky's actions and that of the wind were directly linked.
Sol cocks his head back and to the right as a half grin crosses his lips. "We'll see if that's necessary..." Sol lowers his head back to its original position as his smile disappears and is replaced with a serious look aimed at Ky.
Ky spreads his legs apart and raises his sword to its parallel position above his head as he enters his fighting stance once again. "Heaven or Hell."
Sol crouches slightly, almost in a runners position with his knees bent slightly one ahead of the other. He grasps his Fuenken handle tightly as he scuffles the dirt beneath his heals into a small mound to get a good foothold. "Let's Rock."
Sol and Ky dash towards each other, Ky holds his Furaiken with his right hand to the left side of his head and uses his left hand to steady the blade as Ky rushes forward. Sol rushes forward in a semi-crouched position with his Fuenken blazing at his right side. As the two fighters converge on each other, Ky slashes hard from overhead in a downward stroke, as Sol counters the move with an upward slash to block Ky's assault.
~Meanwhile~
Millia makes her way down the staircase and into the living room. All seems deserted, it's quiet. At first. Millia turns her head to the couch as she hears a deep resonating noise coming from it. "This can't be happening, don't tell me that a wild gear made it here. I thought they were all dead." Millia thought as she slowly and cautiously approaches the couch from behind. Making sure to keep a low profile. Whatever the noise was, it was coming from the other side of the couch. As Millia inches up towards the couch, a loud snort blasts from the unseen source and Millia freezes in place. But resumes a few moments later when it resumes a normal steady tone. Millia reaches the back of the couch and she crouches on her hands and knees with her back turned to the couch. With EXTREME caution, Millia peers slowly over the back and spots the source as her concern is replaced with relief. Millia stands up, turns around and walks away from a sleeping Johnny and May on the couch. Johnny is stretched out completely over the couch on his back with his feet crossed and his hat laying his head to shield his eyes from the light. One hand on his hat and one on his chest. Next to it lay a smaller hand, belonging to May. She is curled up on her side beside Johnny with her head on his shoulder and one hand on top of his and one arm wrapped around Johnny's left arm that rests on his chest. As Millia turns she hears one last loud snore coming from Johnny's mouth and one content sigh from that of May.
Millia walks toward the kitchen as her nose picks up the smell of food. As she enters a quite unfamiliar sight is seen. Dizzy is standing over the stove preparing food. It was a very strange sight indeed, especially seeing Dizzy with a apron on that read "Ichiban!". Dizzy was on the right side of the kitchen in front of a large, restaurant style stove with 10 burners and a roaster in the middle. And adjacent to the stove was a huge Double Door, stainless steel refrigerator. Across from Dizzy was a Triple sink. One for washing, one for rinsing, and one for dirty dishes. Straight back was a doorway to the dining room. Millia had seen it before, 30-foot long rectangular table, with white silk tablecloth. Lined with only the finest silverware and China.
But Millia diverted all her attention to the happy half-gear girl who was busy at the stove. Millia's presence went unnoticed by Dizzy as she made her way behind her.
"What are doing?" Millia asked while peering over Dizzy's shoulder. Dizzy, startled by Millia's presence, let out a slight gasp before recognizing her voice. "Oh, it's only you Millia." Dizzy said as she continued to cook. "Now what was it that you wanted?"
Millia takes a few steps back and while placing her hands behind her head, leaned against the sink behind her and crossed her feet. "I was just wondering what you were doing."
Dizzy smiled a little as she answered. "Just cooking up a little breakfast."
Millia, slightly interested, leans forward a bit. "When did you learn to cook?" Millia said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I've seen Ky cook these a few times, I just watched him and emulated his actions."
"So...what ARE you cooking?" Millia asked as she walked back towards the innocent Gear.
"French Crepes, I believe that's the name, I figured I'd try my hand at them. Tell me what you think."
"I...I don't know. This IS your first time cooking something like this isn't it?"
"I learn fast." Dizzy said with a smile. "Now grab a plate."
Millia reluctantly turned around, opened the counter above the sink and took out a plate. Then she opened the drawer beside the sink and took out a knife and fork, before returning to Dizzy. Dizzy takes the frying pan off of the heat and slides the crepe out of the pan and onto the plate effortlessly, thanks to the nonstick surface, only the best for Ky.
Millia placed the plate on a nearby counter and reluctantly cut out a piece of crepe with her fork and knife and slowly brought the food to her lips, the fork stops just at her mouth. Millia pauses and looks over to Dizzy who is smiling happily in expectation, waiting for Millia's reaction. Millia turns back to her food. {"I sure hope she can cook."} Millia thought as she swallowed hard before opening her mouth. She nervously slid the fork in and took a bite of the food. She nervously chewed on it for a moment before her eyes light up. "This is really good Dizzy!" Millia said as she cuts and takes another bite. "These taste just like Ky's!"
"Arigato!" Dizzy says in a cutesy voice while smiling as she watches Millia finish off the rest of her crepe. "Would you like more Millia?"
"Heck yeah!"
Dizzy happily poured more into the pan and cooked them. After about 8 minutes, Millia had eaten her fill. She thanks Dizzy and politely offers to wash the dishes, but Dizzy refused and did it herself. Millia thanked Dizzy again and decided it was time to make her way to see Ky.
~Back to the fight~
Both blades spark as they collide with each other, Ky and Sol push off and Ky swings diagonally upwards from the right as Sol slashes downwards to the left, again both blades sending out lines of lightning. Again, Ky and Sol break apart and this time Ky swings horizontally to the right as Sol swings from the left to mirror his attack. Ky and Sol both lean forward and get into each other's faces as their blades grind below their necks.
"You seem angry." Sol says with a slight smirk.
Ky's anger rises upon hearing the words. "That's because...You hold too much BACK!!!!!" Ky and Sol both push each other back and land. Almost immediately, Ky charges forward and swings hard diagonally at Sol's midsection. Sol is barely able to jump back in time. Still, he was a little slow and the blazing Furaiken cuts across Sol's chest, the cut wasn't deep, but it still drew blood.
As Sol jumps back, Ky continues forward. But Sol has a little trick in store. Sol stops in mid-air and jumps forward while performing an outside crescent kick in a move Sol likes to call his "Bandit Revolver". The momentum and timing was perfect as Sol soars over the head of Ky and comes down with a hard vertical slash.
Ky is surprised, but manages to stop his dash, and spin around in time to face Sol. Ky, while holding the handle in his right hand, raises the Lightning Sword over his head and with his left hand steadies the blade about halfway down the length to block Sol's attack. But the force of Sol's decent, mixed with his raw Gear power, was too much force to stop immediately and Ky's block was pushed back. Fortunately Sol's Fuenken did manage to be stopped, if only mere centimeters from Ky's forehead.
Ky winces slightly as the heat emanating from the blade slowly begins to burn at Ky's flesh and the sparks caused by the metal on metal contact hit Ky in his eyes. He closes them tightly as his eyes automatically water slightly to free the slight metal debris from his ducts.
Sol lands completely and Ky keeps his eyes closed as he pushes back Sol's attack.
"Subarashi wazadesu! When did you learn that?" Ky asks as he continues to hold off the attack with his eyes closed.
"Just something I made up." Sol says with a grin.
"Really? Try something I just made up."
Ky focuses his energy into the blade and it begins to glow a slight blue, then white. Suddenly light flares outward from the blade in a blinding flash that catches Sol completely off guard. All goes black for Sol as he takes one hand off the blade to press against his burning eyelids.
Mistake.
Ky's eyes open as the blade returns to normal and Ky uses Sol's momentary distraction to push Sol off. Ky runs his hand along the Furaiken and off the blade as he gathers the electrical energy from the blade into his left palm.
Before Sol has time to recover, Ky reaches out and violently grabs Sol's stomach and digs his fingers into his flesh. Sol screams in agony as his eyesight returns and he looks down on his attacker. He attempts to swing at Ky, but the Holy Knight begins to pump his stored charge into Sol's body while twisting his hands, the pain was excrutiating. It felt almost as if Ky was manipulating Sol's organs beneath his tight grasp.
A steady flow of high voltage flows through every cell in Sol's body and sparks shoot between all gaps, such as Sol's teeth. Ky continues pumping Sol with juice for a few more seconds before releasing Sol from his grip and punching him hard in his stomach. As Sol doubles over in pain, Ky releases all remaining gathered energy into Sol's stomach in a bolt of lightning.
The force is so intense that it literally knocks Sol across the ring in a streak of energy. Ky wastes no time and leaps forward after Sol. Ky gathers a large amount of magic energy into one place and releases it in one powerful flow directed behind his body. The resulting release gave Ky a burst of speed and allowed him to temporarily fly through the air in an air-dash that catches him up to Sol.
Sol continues to fly backwards with his back to the ground and his head slightly raised. Ky soars overhead and swings his sword horizontally at Sol. Sol sees the move coming and is able to concentrate enough energy and release it all at once. He sends his energy in every direction, freezing himself in mid-air in an air-recovery.
Sol ducks under the blade just as Ky swings overhead. Though the swing misses Sol's head, it still manages to clip a few hairs from Sol's bangs. Sol hits the ground still moving, he digs into the ground with his feet and is able to dash forward and connect with Ky's abdomen. Though Ky's midsection was stopped, his arms and legs weren't, and they continue to move forward until they reach their limit on Ky's joints and it feels as if they are being ripped from their sockets as his muscles and tendons are pushed almost to the breaking point just before retracting to normal.
The sudden jolt knocks all the wind out of Ky's lungs and a mouthful of blood from the slight rupture caused by Ky's one broken rib.
~Meanwhile~
It feels as if a sudden chill runs across Millia's brain and she gets a pain in her stomach.
"Something's wrong with Ky." Millia says as she rushes from the kitchen in a mad dash out the back door. She didn't know what it was, but she could sense that Ky was in some kind of danger, some kind of pain. She had to find out what it was. Millia tears across the football field sized back yard of Ky's mansion and reaches the edge of the woods. Millia pauses for a moment to catch her breath and to look for the one clear path that was carved through the woods, the one Ky just used for walks.
Millia spots a small opening in the woods to her left and makes her way towards it. Millia's legs and chest burn in pain as she continues through the woods without a proper rest. Normally this sort of thing wouldn't have happened, getting tired so soon that is, but over her short relationship with Ky she'd gotten a little...not lazy, more like out of practice since she no longer had to fear and run for her life.
Still, she was in great shape, not many ordinary women, or men for that matter, can rush a few hundred yards at full speed with only a moment's time to catch their breath.
As Millia continues on she notices something up ahead on the path. It appears to be a person. Their back was turned, but Millia could tell who it was from the unmistakable long white hair that trailed down their back to their shoulder blades.
Venom...
As Millia approaches, Venom slowly turns around from the left side. She's still about a hundred feet away but she can make out his face now as the wind picks up and a mild breeze blows from the left to reveal Venom's face. He keeps his head slightly lowered until Millia is within about 20 feet of him. He raises his head and speaks one word that freezes Millia in her tracks. "Millia."
Millia slides her right leg forward, keeping her left leg behind to steady herself as she skids to a stop right before Venom.
"Please get out of my way Venom. Ky needs me." Millia said with an urgency in her voice.
Venom leans his head back and lets out a loud chuckle, then a flat out laugh. Needless to say, Millia wasn't too happy with that.
"What's so funny!?!?" Millia demands as she clenches her fists.
Venom begins to slowly take steps towards Millia as she backs away in unison. "No need to run from me Millia, I'm not your enemy." Venom said as he continued his walk. "All I want..." Suddenly Venom disappears from sight. Millia freezes in place and she quickly looks around to see where Venom went to. Suddenly Millia feels a hand on her shoulder as Venom appears behind her and speaks. "...is to talk to you."
Millia's heart jumps for a second as Venom's hand touches her body, but she regains her composure and determination and speaks to Venom without turning around to face him. "I don't have time to talk now...Ky--" Venom cuts off Millia's words off with some of his own as he places his other hand on her vacant shoulder. "Leave him alone."
Millia's tone rises as well as her anger as she turns and knocks away Venom's hands with her left arm. "How dare you Venom! After all Ky's done for you! You wouldn't even be alive if it weren't for his mercy." Venom parts his hair down the middle and tucks the loose bangs behind each corresponding ear. He stares into Millia's eyes as he speaks. "I know that better than anyone."
"Then why won't you let me help him?" Millia asks as she turns to run for Ky. But Venom grabs her right wrist with his left arm and pulls her back. "Because you can't." Venom says as he releases his grip on her arm. This time Millia stays, she is a little confused. Venom senses that so he continues. "There's nothing you can do to help him right now. Do you even know what he's doing?"
Millia looks away and towards the forest floor with a sigh. "No...I don't."
"Exactly."
"But I DO know that he's in pain and he needs--."
"Ky and Sol are fighting." Venom said before Millia could finish."
"Fighting? Why would they fight now, they aren't enemies any longer."
Venom walks around Millia and faces the path that leads to Ky and Sol. "Though they buried the hatchet a while ago, I feel they still have unresolved issues. This is something that they must do on their own."
Millia looks up to Venom again. "But I want to at least be there for him."
"I know you want to help him, but you being there will only make things worse. It's best to leave him alone for now."
Just then, Ky's voice echoes through the forest as he screams out in pain. And it sounds as if something broke, something huge, then the sound of rustling through the trees a few hundred feet ahead. Millia knows it's Ky, and she turns to call out. But when she attempts to scream out for him, Venom cups his hand over her mouth to silence her. Millia turns back to Venom and he sternly shakes his head "no" before releasing his hold on her mouth.
"You mustn't let him know you are here Millia."
"But he's in pain, and I must help him...I...I..."
Vemon chuckles to himself and finishes Millia's line. "You love him? Is that what you were going to say?" Millia turns and looks down the trail towards Ky and lowers her head. "I...I don't know." Millia says with her head down. "I don't know what it is I feel, but whatever it is...I've never felt it for anyone before." She turns back to Venom as a tear comes to each eye.
"I know exactly what you mean...trust me. But if you do love him..." Venom says, but stops as he again disappears from her sight. Millia instinctively turns around and sees Venom standing towards the battle with his back turned to her again. He continues. "...then you must believe in him, and wait for him. You'll only get in the way right now. Wait until the time is right." Venom's body seems as if it is split into parts, upper and lower. And both parts slowly begin to dissolve, almost as if they are being eaten away by acid, the parts that once were, turn into what looks like white powder and they blow away as the breeze returns. "...you'll know the right time Millia..." Venom's head and feet also dissolve away as he leaves Millia there in the forest by herself.
Millia stands there and contemplates Venom's words. "He's right. I should wait." Millia thinks for a moment on Ky and her life. It's true that she was always the happiest when she was with him. Nothing else mattered as long as she could be with him. Her heartbeat began to rise as she thinks back to that night when Ky and the others came back, and what happened on the porch.
Millia remembers Ky holding her there for hours. He comforted her and calmed her nerves. She remembered Ky's words. "There is nothing wrong with showing your emotions Millia." She remembered how she had felt at that moment, everything else seemed to melt away except them, and she felt something she never had before. She remember trying to tell Ky...those words. It was, how she saw it, how she felt. But as she began to speak he placed his right index finger on her soft lips and shook his head "no". "There's no need for words." Ky said as he wrapped his left arm around her left shoulder and pulled her close. She didn't resist and leaned in close and rested her head on his shoulder. They both stayed that way as they looked out at the starry night sky as they rocked slowly on the porch swing. Hours passed, but it only seemed like minutes. And soon it was late and Millia had fallen asleep on Ky's shoulder.
Of course Millia didn't know this, but Ky, not wanting to disturb her, carried her up to his room and laid her on his bed. He tucked her in, kissed her forehead and left to retire for the night in another one of the bedrooms. After that night, Ky agreed to let everyone that wanted to, stay there until they figured everything out. Ky insisted that Millia used his room for the time being, since it was the best in the house.
Chipp and Sol went home and got their clothes, etc. May stayed there as Well, but Johnny, being the Mayship's Captain, had to take care of the Jellyfish Pirates. But he would return from time to time to Ky's mansion to check on May and get a free meal. Often times showing up in the middle of the night, he had spare keys to the mansion so he just came and went as he pleased.
Millia's thoughts returned to Ky. She couldn't stand the thought of just waiting there while Ky was being hurt. "What DO I feel for him?" Millia spoke silently to herself. "If it is what I think it is, could I have told him that night? That night when we were alone. If he hadn't silenced my words could I have actually told him that I...I...I love him..." Millia couldn't believe the words that came from her mouth. Did she just say that she loved Ky? She had never told those words to anyone before, can she really tell Ky? "I will..." Millia thought as she turned away from the path to the fight and began to walk back towards the house. "...when the time is right."
------------------------------------
So what did you think? Like it, hate it? Whatever, just tell me in a review and/or e-mail ok? It doesn't have to be long at all, a few lines will suffice, heck a few words will too, and if you don't feel like loggin in, just leave an annonymous review ok?
and look, sorry to cut it off where it was. You see, I promised my G Gundam fans that I'd update my story when I finished this chapter of G Gear. But I was experimenting with a new writing style and many times I didn't feel like writing it. Plus, the fact that this chapter would have been VERY long. I've probably got about this much more already written and I'm probably only 1/2-2/3 done with this chapter. So I decided to split it up. Is that ok?
Anyway, to the Ky fans out there, don't worry. I'd never play out my dog Ky. Just keep reading ok?
And tell me what you thought of the new writing style opposed to my normal script ok? If you like it better I'll stick with it this way ok?
So did any of the confusion get cleared up about how Millia was acting? I sure hope so. But anyway, I guess I'll update my G Gundam fic first, 100 reviews deserves some rewards don't ya think? ^_^ . Then I'll post the rest of this later ok? Think of this as a Christmas Present ok?
Ja ne.
Deathsythe
Hey everybody. Sorry it took so long. Been working on my G Gundam fic lately. And even though I've been wanting to work on this, I promised my G Gundam readers that I'd update on that first. And I keep my promises. Anyway, here's the next installment in the G Gear saga.
Oh, and thanks again Kaiser, your kind words mean a lot to me. And I've decided to take your advice, I'm gonna try to make this a non-script chapter. But I don't have much experience in it so don't blame me if it doesn't turn out that good ok?

NO MERCY
Millia awoke suddenly in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. As she regained her composure she searched the room to get a fix on her position. "Where am I?" Millia thought as she slowly peeled back the white and blue silk sheets back and sat up. Even though she no longer had to worry about Zato-1ONE and his men chasing her, she still had the habit of worrying where she woke up. Her fears of being caught were still somewhere in the back of her mind.
"I'm being silly." Millia thought to herself. "Zato is dead, and Venom..." Millia stopped as the name came to her mind. She remembered how she had acted a week ago, that day that Venom came here. She couldn't believe how she broke down and cried like a child.
Millia scoffed at herself as she remembered how she cried so much that night. Millia hated showing too much emotion. Though since Ky was in her life, she's become more open to people, especially Ky. Still...the thought of breaking down and crying was something Millia wasn't proud of. And for what? For Venom? She once hated his guts, but now she no longer harbored a hatred for him. Still, she wasn't planning on becoming friends with him or anything, not yet at least. Millia shook the thoughts from her head as she concentrated on the present.
She looked around and noticed the familiar room decor. The room was filled with Christian memorabilia from the ceiling to the floor. Crosses everywhere, even a cross design on the center of her sheets. And two Angel statues, one on each side of the bed, each holding swords and extending them towards each other and making an X with the blades over the bed post. Millia looked ahead and to her right, Ky's spacious walk-in closet was open. And she could see it lined with his famous Blue and White Holy Knight uniforms. And on a small table in the center of the room...a Bible. It sat on a cross-design stand. It was slightly worn, but still in great shape. It showed that Ky read it often, but still managed to take care of it.
"This is in Ky's house." Millia thought as she stood up. She pulled the covers completely back and swiveled her legs out and placed her feet onto the hardwood floor. Millia sat on the edge of the bed and stretched by extending her right arm straight out to her side and bending the elbow on her left arm, pulling her fist near her cheek as a slight grunt comes from her throat. Then bringing both arms together over her head and linking her fingers together as she extends her palms upwards towards the ceiling. She slowly breaks the lock on her hands apart and lets her right arm fall to her side as she drops her left hand down to cover her mouth to stifle a yawn.
"This is his room." Millia said as she wiped the sleep from her eyes. "I remember now. Ky let me have his room while he slept in a guest room downstairs. I guess he must really care for me, to give up his best room for me." Millia smiled as the thought came to her head and she immediately wanted to know where her Knight was.
She then pushes herself up from the bed and walks over to a nearby window on her left. She raises it as a cool breeze whips her hair gently and the sun kisses her face. Millia looks outwards across the beautiful sky. She guessed it to be mid morning, around 10am. She was on the 3rd floor so she could see for quite a distance. She noticed Ky's personal lake out back. His gazebo he used for reading and relaxing in. And far off to the left, there was small patch of forest Ky kept on his land. Ky loved the woods, it was a perfect place to train, in Ky's mind at least. Heavy brush and thick vegetation, this was a great place for him to practice his bobbing and weaving techniques as well as his sword techniques on certain trees and stumps along the way. He even built a special arena in the middle of those woods. "Now where is it?" Millia thought as her eyes scanned the foliage. Her eyes soon land on a open patch in the center of the woods.
Ky had a way of making even the most basic things look elegant. His training arena was mainly a huge circle that had been cleared out in the woods. Just level dirt made up the floor of the arena, and the edge was marked with several dense concrete Corinthian pillars.
Millia remembered Ky once mentioning the arena in detail to her. Something about the pillars being about 20 feet tall, and about 4 feet in circumference. And the entire diameter of the ring to be about 100 feet. More than enough space for a serious battle to take place. "Strange." Millia thought. She had never paid much attention to stuff like that. Math bored her, but somehow she remembered that, probably because it was Ky explaining things.
Millia's mind returns to the present and she remembers the task at hand. To look for Ky. She begins to look away from the arena, but something catches her eye. Something moving. Millia is looking on from a distance, but she can still make out two figures standing in Ky's personal training arena.
"But who are they?" Millia thought as her eyes focused in on the one on the right. He/she appeared to be wearing all white, with a few parts that had blue trim, and their hair was sort of short and blonde. The fighter on the left appeared to be wearing a combination of red and black clothes, and they had long...brown...hair. "Oh my gosh." Millia gasped. "It's Ky and Sol."
Millia had a strong desire to see Ky. She didn't know why though. She was never the type to run after a man, or anyone. But Ky just made her feel special when she was around him. Made her feel safe. Millia turned from the window and slipped on her shoes that lay near bedside. She walks across the large room, to a dresser/mirror combo that was directly across from the bed on the opposite side of the room.
It too, like everything else in the room, was a combination of blue and white. But not just any blue and white. This dresser was a combination of white marble tops, and drawers, with blue gem inlay for the handles and trim for the dresser. The finest money can buy.
Millia looked into the oval mirror that stood before her. Her hair was slightly out of place. "Years to perfect control over this hair, I've fought and have even killed with it, but yet I can't tame something as simples bed head." Millia thought as she held her golden locks on her hands before her face. Millia looked across the smooth dresser top for what she needed. Then she spotted it. The same gold plated hairbrush that Ky bought for her just a week ago. She had left it in Ky's car that night, the night everything started to go wrong. Millia looked down for a moment as she reflected on her memories of the past week. She soon dismissed the thoughts as she remembered whom she had an appointment with.
Ky, but one thing bothered her. Why was Sol there as well?
~On the battlefield~
Ky and Sol both face each other off. Each of them grasping their weapon of corruption in their right hand. Both fighters stare into each other's eyes with a look of serious intent as their weapons begin to glow and emanate with their power. The weapons seemed directly in tune with their master's feelings.
"So you've had the same feeling as well the past few days?" Ky spoke as he stares at Sol before him. Sol chuckled slightly as a smirk crossed his face. "Yeah, it's been too long since our last battle."
A slight smirk crosses Ky's face as well when he hears Sol's words and he gives asks one final statement from Sol. "Sa...Hajimi mashoka?"
Sol takes his Fuenken by the handle with his right hand and drives the blade downward into the ground. He then reaches up and places his right hand on the right side of his neck and leans his head to the right as he cracks his neck. His left hand lifts up as his right one drops down and they meet midway. He brings his hands together and cups his left palm over his right fist and applies some slight pressure to crack his right knuckle, then he switches positions and cracks his left knuckle. Then Sol reaches down with his right hand and plucks the Fuenken from its momentary resting place in the ground and raises it, handle first, up to his waist. Sol returns his gaze to Ky and gives his response. "Yeah sure, why not?"
Sol and Ky then begin to circle each other in a clockwise manner for a few seconds. Sol places the thumb of his left hand into his pocket and keeps his right hand on his sword handle as his arm keeps it at waist length with the blade trailing behind him. He takes small effortless steps with little stride as he keeps his eyes locked on the Holy Knight before him.
Ky takes his Furaiken in his right hand and lifts it to about a foot above his head with the blade extending out to the left. As Ky takes slow, medium strides to the right he keeps his body facing Sol and his blade parallel to the ground. He steps out with his right foot first, moving it over about a foot and a half with each step then crosses over his right foot with his left and placing it beside it's twin on the ground. Then he repeats the process over and over as he makes a semi-circle that Sol mirrors in front of him about 10 feet away.
After one full circle the fighters stop in their strides, each with a pillar approximately 45 feet behind them. A strong breeze blows from Ky's left and Sol's right. The breeze causes the loose fabric on their clothes to billow violently in the wind. The wind causes Ky's long bangs to cover his left eye, a distraction that could prove fatal in battle.
It must be dealt with.
Ky raises his Furaiken straight up overhead and passes it to his left hand as he slowly brings it down his left side. He pauses slightly when it reaches about 45-degree angle, with the sword raised outwards to the sky. "Honki de tatta gatere...Sol!" Ky suddenly slashes his sword downward to his left side and stops, as the wind follows suit. Ky seems to cut the air in twain, seeing as how Ky's actions and that of the wind were directly linked.
Sol cocks his head back and to the right as a half grin crosses his lips. "We'll see if that's necessary..." Sol lowers his head back to its original position as his smile disappears and is replaced with a serious look aimed at Ky.
Ky spreads his legs apart and raises his sword to its parallel position above his head as he enters his fighting stance once again. "Heaven or Hell."
Sol crouches slightly, almost in a runners position with his knees bent slightly one ahead of the other. He grasps his Fuenken handle tightly as he scuffles the dirt beneath his heals into a small mound to get a good foothold. "Let's Rock."
Sol and Ky dash towards each other, Ky holds his Furaiken with his right hand to the left side of his head and uses his left hand to steady the blade as Ky rushes forward. Sol rushes forward in a semi-crouched position with his Fuenken blazing at his right side. As the two fighters converge on each other, Ky slashes hard from overhead in a downward stroke, as Sol counters the move with an upward slash to block Ky's assault.
~Meanwhile~
Millia makes her way down the staircase and into the living room. All seems deserted, it's quiet. At first. Millia turns her head to the couch as she hears a deep resonating noise coming from it. "This can't be happening, don't tell me that a wild gear made it here. I thought they were all dead." Millia thought as she slowly and cautiously approaches the couch from behind. Making sure to keep a low profile. Whatever the noise was, it was coming from the other side of the couch. As Millia inches up towards the couch, a loud snort blasts from the unseen source and Millia freezes in place. But resumes a few moments later when it resumes a normal steady tone. Millia reaches the back of the couch and she crouches on her hands and knees with her back turned to the couch. With EXTREME caution, Millia peers slowly over the back and spots the source as her concern is replaced with relief. Millia stands up, turns around and walks away from a sleeping Johnny and May on the couch. Johnny is stretched out completely over the couch on his back with his feet crossed and his hat laying his head to shield his eyes from the light. One hand on his hat and one on his chest. Next to it lay a smaller hand, belonging to May. She is curled up on her side beside Johnny with her head on his shoulder and one hand on top of his and one arm wrapped around Johnny's left arm that rests on his chest. As Millia turns she hears one last loud snore coming from Johnny's mouth and one content sigh from that of May.
Millia walks toward the kitchen as her nose picks up the smell of food. As she enters a quite unfamiliar sight is seen. Dizzy is standing over the stove preparing food. It was a very strange sight indeed, especially seeing Dizzy with a apron on that read "Ichiban!". Dizzy was on the right side of the kitchen in front of a large, restaurant style stove with 10 burners and a roaster in the middle. And adjacent to the stove was a huge Double Door, stainless steel refrigerator. Across from Dizzy was a Triple sink. One for washing, one for rinsing, and one for dirty dishes. Straight back was a doorway to the dining room. Millia had seen it before, 30-foot long rectangular table, with white silk tablecloth. Lined with only the finest silverware and China.
But Millia diverted all her attention to the happy half-gear girl who was busy at the stove. Millia's presence went unnoticed by Dizzy as she made her way behind her.
"What are doing?" Millia asked while peering over Dizzy's shoulder. Dizzy, startled by Millia's presence, let out a slight gasp before recognizing her voice. "Oh, it's only you Millia." Dizzy said as she continued to cook. "Now what was it that you wanted?"
Millia takes a few steps back and while placing her hands behind her head, leaned against the sink behind her and crossed her feet. "I was just wondering what you were doing."
Dizzy smiled a little as she answered. "Just cooking up a little breakfast."
Millia, slightly interested, leans forward a bit. "When did you learn to cook?" Millia said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, I've seen Ky cook these a few times, I just watched him and emulated his actions."
"So...what ARE you cooking?" Millia asked as she walked back towards the innocent Gear.
"French Crepes, I believe that's the name, I figured I'd try my hand at them. Tell me what you think."
"I...I don't know. This IS your first time cooking something like this isn't it?"
"I learn fast." Dizzy said with a smile. "Now grab a plate."
Millia reluctantly turned around, opened the counter above the sink and took out a plate. Then she opened the drawer beside the sink and took out a knife and fork, before returning to Dizzy. Dizzy takes the frying pan off of the heat and slides the crepe out of the pan and onto the plate effortlessly, thanks to the nonstick surface, only the best for Ky.
Millia placed the plate on a nearby counter and reluctantly cut out a piece of crepe with her fork and knife and slowly brought the food to her lips, the fork stops just at her mouth. Millia pauses and looks over to Dizzy who is smiling happily in expectation, waiting for Millia's reaction. Millia turns back to her food. {"I sure hope she can cook."} Millia thought as she swallowed hard before opening her mouth. She nervously slid the fork in and took a bite of the food. She nervously chewed on it for a moment before her eyes light up. "This is really good Dizzy!" Millia said as she cuts and takes another bite. "These taste just like Ky's!"
"Arigato!" Dizzy says in a cutesy voice while smiling as she watches Millia finish off the rest of her crepe. "Would you like more Millia?"
"Heck yeah!"
Dizzy happily poured more into the pan and cooked them. After about 8 minutes, Millia had eaten her fill. She thanks Dizzy and politely offers to wash the dishes, but Dizzy refused and did it herself. Millia thanked Dizzy again and decided it was time to make her way to see Ky.
~Back to the fight~
Both blades spark as they collide with each other, Ky and Sol push off and Ky swings diagonally upwards from the right as Sol slashes downwards to the left, again both blades sending out lines of lightning. Again, Ky and Sol break apart and this time Ky swings horizontally to the right as Sol swings from the left to mirror his attack. Ky and Sol both lean forward and get into each other's faces as their blades grind below their necks.
"You seem angry." Sol says with a slight smirk.
Ky's anger rises upon hearing the words. "That's because...You hold too much BACK!!!!!" Ky and Sol both push each other back and land. Almost immediately, Ky charges forward and swings hard diagonally at Sol's midsection. Sol is barely able to jump back in time. Still, he was a little slow and the blazing Furaiken cuts across Sol's chest, the cut wasn't deep, but it still drew blood.
As Sol jumps back, Ky continues forward. But Sol has a little trick in store. Sol stops in mid-air and jumps forward while performing an outside crescent kick in a move Sol likes to call his "Bandit Revolver". The momentum and timing was perfect as Sol soars over the head of Ky and comes down with a hard vertical slash.
Ky is surprised, but manages to stop his dash, and spin around in time to face Sol. Ky, while holding the handle in his right hand, raises the Lightning Sword over his head and with his left hand steadies the blade about halfway down the length to block Sol's attack. But the force of Sol's decent, mixed with his raw Gear power, was too much force to stop immediately and Ky's block was pushed back. Fortunately Sol's Fuenken did manage to be stopped, if only mere centimeters from Ky's forehead.
Ky winces slightly as the heat emanating from the blade slowly begins to burn at Ky's flesh and the sparks caused by the metal on metal contact hit Ky in his eyes. He closes them tightly as his eyes automatically water slightly to free the slight metal debris from his ducts.
Sol lands completely and Ky keeps his eyes closed as he pushes back Sol's attack.
"Subarashi wazadesu! When did you learn that?" Ky asks as he continues to hold off the attack with his eyes closed.
"Just something I made up." Sol says with a grin.
"Really? Try something I just made up."
Ky focuses his energy into the blade and it begins to glow a slight blue, then white. Suddenly light flares outward from the blade in a blinding flash that catches Sol completely off guard. All goes black for Sol as he takes one hand off the blade to press against his burning eyelids.
Mistake.
Ky's eyes open as the blade returns to normal and Ky uses Sol's momentary distraction to push Sol off. Ky runs his hand along the Furaiken and off the blade as he gathers the electrical energy from the blade into his left palm.
Before Sol has time to recover, Ky reaches out and violently grabs Sol's stomach and digs his fingers into his flesh. Sol screams in agony as his eyesight returns and he looks down on his attacker. He attempts to swing at Ky, but the Holy Knight begins to pump his stored charge into Sol's body while twisting his hands, the pain was excrutiating. It felt almost as if Ky was manipulating Sol's organs beneath his tight grasp.
A steady flow of high voltage flows through every cell in Sol's body and sparks shoot between all gaps, such as Sol's teeth. Ky continues pumping Sol with juice for a few more seconds before releasing Sol from his grip and punching him hard in his stomach. As Sol doubles over in pain, Ky releases all remaining gathered energy into Sol's stomach in a bolt of lightning.
The force is so intense that it literally knocks Sol across the ring in a streak of energy. Ky wastes no time and leaps forward after Sol. Ky gathers a large amount of magic energy into one place and releases it in one powerful flow directed behind his body. The resulting release gave Ky a burst of speed and allowed him to temporarily fly through the air in an air-dash that catches him up to Sol.
Sol continues to fly backwards with his back to the ground and his head slightly raised. Ky soars overhead and swings his sword horizontally at Sol. Sol sees the move coming and is able to concentrate enough energy and release it all at once. He sends his energy in every direction, freezing himself in mid-air in an air-recovery.
Sol ducks under the blade just as Ky swings overhead. Though the swing misses Sol's head, it still manages to clip a few hairs from Sol's bangs. Sol hits the ground still moving, he digs into the ground with his feet and is able to dash forward and connect with Ky's abdomen. Though Ky's midsection was stopped, his arms and legs weren't, and they continue to move forward until they reach their limit on Ky's joints and it feels as if they are being ripped from their sockets as his muscles and tendons are pushed almost to the breaking point just before retracting to normal.
The sudden jolt knocks all the wind out of Ky's lungs and a mouthful of blood from the slight rupture caused by Ky's one broken rib.
~Meanwhile~
It feels as if a sudden chill runs across Millia's brain and she gets a pain in her stomach.
"Something's wrong with Ky." Millia says as she rushes from the kitchen in a mad dash out the back door. She didn't know what it was, but she could sense that Ky was in some kind of danger, some kind of pain. She had to find out what it was. Millia tears across the football field sized back yard of Ky's mansion and reaches the edge of the woods. Millia pauses for a moment to catch her breath and to look for the one clear path that was carved through the woods, the one Ky just used for walks.
Millia spots a small opening in the woods to her left and makes her way towards it. Millia's legs and chest burn in pain as she continues through the woods without a proper rest. Normally this sort of thing wouldn't have happened, getting tired so soon that is, but over her short relationship with Ky she'd gotten a little...not lazy, more like out of practice since she no longer had to fear and run for her life.
Still, she was in great shape, not many ordinary women, or men for that matter, can rush a few hundred yards at full speed with only a moment's time to catch their breath.
As Millia continues on she notices something up ahead on the path. It appears to be a person. Their back was turned, but Millia could tell who it was from the unmistakable long white hair that trailed down their back to their shoulder blades.
Venom...
As Millia approaches, Venom slowly turns around from the left side. She's still about a hundred feet away but she can make out his face now as the wind picks up and a mild breeze blows from the left to reveal Venom's face. He keeps his head slightly lowered until Millia is within about 20 feet of him. He raises his head and speaks one word that freezes Millia in her tracks. "Millia."
Millia slides her right leg forward, keeping her left leg behind to steady herself as she skids to a stop right before Venom.
"Please get out of my way Venom. Ky needs me." Millia said with an urgency in her voice.
Venom leans his head back and lets out a loud chuckle, then a flat out laugh. Needless to say, Millia wasn't too happy with that.
"What's so funny!?!?" Millia demands as she clenches her fists.
Venom begins to slowly take steps towards Millia as she backs away in unison. "No need to run from me Millia, I'm not your enemy." Venom said as he continued his walk. "All I want..." Suddenly Venom disappears from sight. Millia freezes in place and she quickly looks around to see where Venom went to. Suddenly Millia feels a hand on her shoulder as Venom appears behind her and speaks. "...is to talk to you."
Millia's heart jumps for a second as Venom's hand touches her body, but she regains her composure and determination and speaks to Venom without turning around to face him. "I don't have time to talk now...Ky--" Venom cuts off Millia's words off with some of his own as he places his other hand on her vacant shoulder. "Leave him alone."
Millia's tone rises as well as her anger as she turns and knocks away Venom's hands with her left arm. "How dare you Venom! After all Ky's done for you! You wouldn't even be alive if it weren't for his mercy." Venom parts his hair down the middle and tucks the loose bangs behind each corresponding ear. He stares into Millia's eyes as he speaks. "I know that better than anyone."
"Then why won't you let me help him?" Millia asks as she turns to run for Ky. But Venom grabs her right wrist with his left arm and pulls her back. "Because you can't." Venom says as he releases his grip on her arm. This time Millia stays, she is a little confused. Venom senses that so he continues. "There's nothing you can do to help him right now. Do you even know what he's doing?"
Millia looks away and towards the forest floor with a sigh. "No...I don't."
"Exactly."
"But I DO know that he's in pain and he needs--."
"Ky and Sol are fighting." Venom said before Millia could finish."
"Fighting? Why would they fight now, they aren't enemies any longer."
Venom walks around Millia and faces the path that leads to Ky and Sol. "Though they buried the hatchet a while ago, I feel they still have unresolved issues. This is something that they must do on their own."
Millia looks up to Venom again. "But I want to at least be there for him."
"I know you want to help him, but you being there will only make things worse. It's best to leave him alone for now."
Just then, Ky's voice echoes through the forest as he screams out in pain. And it sounds as if something broke, something huge, then the sound of rustling through the trees a few hundred feet ahead. Millia knows it's Ky, and she turns to call out. But when she attempts to scream out for him, Venom cups his hand over her mouth to silence her. Millia turns back to Venom and he sternly shakes his head "no" before releasing his hold on her mouth.
"You mustn't let him know you are here Millia."
"But he's in pain, and I must help him...I...I..."
Vemon chuckles to himself and finishes Millia's line. "You love him? Is that what you were going to say?" Millia turns and looks down the trail towards Ky and lowers her head. "I...I don't know." Millia says with her head down. "I don't know what it is I feel, but whatever it is...I've never felt it for anyone before." She turns back to Venom as a tear comes to each eye.
"I know exactly what you mean...trust me. But if you do love him..." Venom says, but stops as he again disappears from her sight. Millia instinctively turns around and sees Venom standing towards the battle with his back turned to her again. He continues. "...then you must believe in him, and wait for him. You'll only get in the way right now. Wait until the time is right." Venom's body seems as if it is split into parts, upper and lower. And both parts slowly begin to dissolve, almost as if they are being eaten away by acid, the parts that once were, turn into what looks like white powder and they blow away as the breeze returns. "...you'll know the right time Millia..." Venom's head and feet also dissolve away as he leaves Millia there in the forest by herself.
Millia stands there and contemplates Venom's words. "He's right. I should wait." Millia thinks for a moment on Ky and her life. It's true that she was always the happiest when she was with him. Nothing else mattered as long as she could be with him. Her heartbeat began to rise as she thinks back to that night when Ky and the others came back, and what happened on the porch.
Millia remembers Ky holding her there for hours. He comforted her and calmed her nerves. She remembered Ky's words. "There is nothing wrong with showing your emotions Millia." She remembered how she had felt at that moment, everything else seemed to melt away except them, and she felt something she never had before. She remember trying to tell Ky...those words. It was, how she saw it, how she felt. But as she began to speak he placed his right index finger on her soft lips and shook his head "no". "There's no need for words." Ky said as he wrapped his left arm around her left shoulder and pulled her close. She didn't resist and leaned in close and rested her head on his shoulder. They both stayed that way as they looked out at the starry night sky as they rocked slowly on the porch swing. Hours passed, but it only seemed like minutes. And soon it was late and Millia had fallen asleep on Ky's shoulder.
Of course Millia didn't know this, but Ky, not wanting to disturb her, carried her up to his room and laid her on his bed. He tucked her in, kissed her forehead and left to retire for the night in another one of the bedrooms. After that night, Ky agreed to let everyone that wanted to, stay there until they figured everything out. Ky insisted that Millia used his room for the time being, since it was the best in the house.
Chipp and Sol went home and got their clothes, etc. May stayed there as Well, but Johnny, being the Mayship's Captain, had to take care of the Jellyfish Pirates. But he would return from time to time to Ky's mansion to check on May and get a free meal. Often times showing up in the middle of the night, he had spare keys to the mansion so he just came and went as he pleased.
Millia's thoughts returned to Ky. She couldn't stand the thought of just waiting there while Ky was being hurt. "What DO I feel for him?" Millia spoke silently to herself. "If it is what I think it is, could I have told him that night? That night when we were alone. If he hadn't silenced my words could I have actually told him that I...I...I love him..." Millia couldn't believe the words that came from her mouth. Did she just say that she loved Ky? She had never told those words to anyone before, can she really tell Ky? "I will..." Millia thought as she turned away from the path to the fight and began to walk back towards the house. "...when the time is right."
------------------------------------
So what did you think? Like it, hate it? Whatever, just tell me in a review and/or e-mail ok? It doesn't have to be long at all, a few lines will suffice, heck a few words will too, and if you don't feel like loggin in, just leave an annonymous review ok?
and look, sorry to cut it off where it was. You see, I promised my G Gundam fans that I'd update my story when I finished this chapter of G Gear. But I was experimenting with a new writing style and many times I didn't feel like writing it. Plus, the fact that this chapter would have been VERY long. I've probably got about this much more already written and I'm probably only 1/2-2/3 done with this chapter. So I decided to split it up. Is that ok?
Anyway, to the Ky fans out there, don't worry. I'd never play out my dog Ky. Just keep reading ok?
And tell me what you thought of the new writing style opposed to my normal script ok? If you like it better I'll stick with it this way ok?
So did any of the confusion get cleared up about how Millia was acting? I sure hope so. But anyway, I guess I'll update my G Gundam fic first, 100 reviews deserves some rewards don't ya think? ^_^ . Then I'll post the rest of this later ok? Think of this as a Christmas Present ok?
Ja ne.
