Storm of Memories
Hello all you happy people. Or at least the happy people who are happy i'm writing a new story.
Now then this story is about Duo thinking about his past during a thunder storm. And it's in
his P.O.V so it might not be very good in your opinion, but in my opinion it is fine. And i
can't give you my sister's opinion. Because she never finished reading it. She cracked up after
the first few lines when it's not a funny story I'm writing. Oh well.
Disclaimer:I don't own Gundam Wing (boohoo)
Usa: I did ask for Heero and Dou for Christmas though, I've been a good girl.
gg: You have, well I never saw it.
Usa: Uhhhh........Be quiet or I'm taking back the DVD's I bought you. Well maybe if I don't get
Heero & Dou I'll get one of the other ones I asked for I mean I asked for like 100 different
ones I'm sure I was good enough to get at least 1.
gg:OK, I'll get you Tasuki.
Usa:YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gg:But that's going to be awhile before I do manage to catch him.(Starts chasing Tasuki around
the room.)
Now then on with the story....
Duo's P.O.V
Looks like a storm tonight. I hate storms, I always end up thinking about my past. It
always happens to be the worst parts about my past too. Plus it's so quiet. Everybodys gone on a
mission, and this time it happened to be that I was the one not needed. Which, of course, leaves
me alone to do what ever I want until they return. And because it's so quiet I end up
remembering things I don't want to. Without any interuptions either. Damnit. I would prefer
for someone else to be here. At least then it wouldn't be so quiet and I could talk to somebody.
But noooo, I'm here alone so it's quiet and I end up remembering my past and I think about it
anyway.
One of the reasons why I hate remembering my past is because it makes me remember my
curse. I don't know why I'm the one that's cursed. But I am sure I am. Otherwise everyone I
loved would not have died. And all I did was watch, I just watched. I didn't do anything to
prevent it from happening. I didn't do a thing to prevent those casualties or anything. Could
I have done anything to begin with?
I was still very young. I was only about seven or eight when Sister Helen and Father
Maxwell died. And when it came to Solo, I barely even knew what medicine was. Let alone
sickness, to me, when people died, they died, they went to sleep and never woke up. That was
what death was to me. The only thing I knew about medicine was that I had to get some, in order
for Solo to live. But I was still to late. Not only did Solo die, but so did everyone else in
the gang. Only a few lucky kids survived, my self included. I remember that just fine, but the
death of my parents, that's another story.....
I hardly remember that at all. I wasn't even four years old. The only thing I remember
is yelling, screaming,and the sounds of footsteps and gun fire. I think my mother was carrying
me away, before she was shot. Solo once told me, he found me in the arms of a young woman, not
past her early twenties. He said she had a bullet wound in her head. It looked as if it was a
clean shot. Straight through, between the eyes, if I remember currectly. He said I had blood all
over my head, from where it had spilled out of her head no doubt. He took pity on me,
obviously. Of course who wouldn't take pity on a young girl who just lost her parents in a
battle. A battle between soldiers of the Alliance and a few rebels from the colonies. Can you
imagine the shock he had when he found out I was a boy. I can say this much. He was none to calm
about it. Think the little girl you save, ends up to be a boy. I mean, Yeah, he still took care
of me. But he was the one to train me, and not one of the older girls.
Then he got sick with the plague, and died. I was left to lead them. He put me in charge
with his dying breathe, and even though there where still more of those who where older then
me, they still followed. I still don't understand why they did. I mean, yeah, it was Solo's last
wish, but they where alot older and more experienced then me. But they still followed me, some
where a little skeptical about it, but they still followed. Maybe they thought I would be a
good leader after all. Most of them did manage to survive, and the rest died by either sickness,
Or being caught by a really mean person who killed them the second they caught them.Although a
few were hit by a stray bullet during a gun fight. But then we barged into the military
warehouse. Boy, was that a bad idea. Good things happened because of that little incident, but
so did some very bad things.
After we charged the warehouse, the old abandend house we where staying in got torn down.
Then we where taken in by a church. There I became aware of the fact that I was cursed. I mean,
yeah, the time at the church was very pleasant. I went to school and was basically a normal kid.
Well, to a certain extent. I got into several fights, more then anyone else, and all those
fights ended with my opponent going to the hospital. But the good side was that I was making
staight A's, and was in a class higher then I was supposed to be in. I think that is why I got
into so many fights, but I'm not entirely sure. Eventually all of the other kids were adopted.
I on the other hand, had been adopted many times, and brought right back. I don't know what it
was about me, but nobody seemed to want me after a few days.
Then the military came. We were all happy before that day. But they came and took over.
They demanded we provide a shelter for them, quite frankly, I was angry. I didn't really like
the idea of growing up to be a priest. If that church was still standing, I probably wouldn't
have become what I am now, and I probably would have become a priest. But it was my home,
damnit. I lived and loved everybody there. That was my first mistake, I loved everyone.
Maybe if I didn't open up, maybe if I kept myself in a shell, and didn't let anyone in, then
maybe.......It wouldn't hurt this much. Of course maybe, if I had just stayed there, instead of
going out to steal a mobile suit, they would have lived. But they didn't live, they died, THEY
ALL DIED. And here I am, left alone to mourn my loved ones. It hurt even worse when Sister Helen
died. She was like a mother to me, the only mother I remember, she'd taken care of me since I
got there. Then she died, she had stayed alive untill I got back safely. I remember she died in
my arms, I remember the look in her eyes. I even remember her last words 'May you have gods
blessing.' I couldn't hold it in anymore, suddenly all my pain and hatred came out, and I cried.
I cried and yelled and screamed, I couldn't take the pain any longer. And then I knew that was
my curse. I would always make these stupid decisions and those would cause something horrible
to happen that would change my life forever. It was mostly the death of a loved one. That's
when I realized, I am Shinigami. I am the god of death. I guess that's why I never let my mask
fall. If I do, I'll end up loving someone and then they'll die.
Of course after Sister and Father died, I decided to hop a ride off the colony I was on.
That's what landed me on the sweeper ship with Doctor G. When I first met him, the first thing
that came to my mind was a giant mushroom. But I wasn't going to voice my opinion on that. I
was well aware of the gun he had, and I didn't feel like dying that day. So I kept my mouth
shut. But anyway, he seemed to be impressed with me, because he offered me a job. Once again I
didn't feel like dying that day, so I accepted the job.
Of course, when I took the job, I had no idea that training would be like going through
hell. I already regretted my decision after the first day. First off, he made me take really
boring classes of stuff I could've cared less about. Being hooked up to that flight simulator
didn't help my hatred lessen any. I was just too confused to do anything at first. Then
there where the constant beatings, wich they called "Training Sessions." If I had been a normal
person, not raised on the streets, then I probably would have been deamed useless and left for
dead in outer space. But luckily for me, I was raised to be strong. For four years I was forced
to endure that. After awhile I found out I was being used for a massacre. I couln't handle that.
After a week or so of thinking, I made my decision, what I thought would be my final decision.
I had decided to destroy my gundam. I had acually grown fond of the damned thing. I had it
figured out. First I would destroy the gundam, just getting the amount of bombs it would take
to destroy the thing was hard enough in it's self.
After I had the bombs in place, I would blow the thing up. Then I would take all the
bullets I had and kill everyone there. Then I would use the last bullet on myself, and end this
forever.
But my plan failed, damnit. The bombs didn't work and G caught on to me. When I told
him that I wasn't going to be a tool in a massacre of defenceless people, he told me to steal
the gundam. He told me to "Just forget about operation meteor" and fight on my own. He new I'd
only attack the OZ bases. So he trusted me and told me about Howard and how he can help me,
accually, he did help alot.
So I went to Earth. I fought a war by myself. Imagine my surprise when I found out that
there were others just like me. That was a great relief to me. I was happy that I wasn't going
to have to fight this war alone.
Heero was the first one I met. I thought,'Hey, maybe this guy would be my friend.' I
mean we were going through the same thing, and we looked to be the same age. But nooooooo, he
had to be mean and not want a friend or even a partner. OH, I'll make him human eventually, I'm
sure I will. He will learn to act like a normal person and talk like one to. If only he had just
opened up to me the first time, then I wouldn't be so annoying towards him.
Quatre was next on the list. Now he was nice, I really did like him. He's a great
friend. So kind, happy, and sensitive. Of course, that army that follows him around is a little
intimidating. But other then that, he was a really great guy. He told me about Trowa, and I
couldn't help but think of Heero. Both quiet and focused on the mission. Well, at least Trowa
sounded a little bit nicer then Heero though. Ironically enough, I didn't meet Trowa until last.
Wufei is next on the list. Now that guy needs help. I mean, sure, he's a nice guy once
you get to know him and all. But he's way to focused on what he does. Seriously, that guy would
run through a minefeild, just for a chance to fight Treize again, he really does know how to
hold a grudge. That scares me. What if he ever set that determination and drive my way. Aaaaaah,
I'd never be left alone. I would probably be stalked. Make a mental note, (never get Wufei mad
at me). But in some ways, he's alot like Heero. So focused on the mission, so completely driven
to finish what he started, and always keeps a cool head about things. In some ways, that's not
very healthy. To never show your fears, that could make you crack if your not careful. Then
there are his justice rants. Sure, it's great that he believes in something so strongly, but
come on, too much of something can kill you.
Then there's Trowa. Cool, calm, and collected. Then, I found, to my surprise, he was an
OZ soldier, undercover of course. And if I wasn't surprised enough. The guys a freaking clown
in the circus. You would think he would have a bit more of a personality and sense of humor.
That guy barely talks, except to Quatre and Heero. That guy has got to open up more and he has
serious personality problems. Plus, he is way to calm for his own good. But even so I still
like him.
In fact, I like all of them. No, I can't. I can't like them, otherwise I'll love them.
I can't do that. Because eventually they'll die. They'll fall victim to my curse and they'll
be gone forever. But I can't help it. They're all my friends. Even if some are a little mean
to me. Even if they ignore me, they're my friends. Unfortunately for them, that's hazardess to
their health. They probably will die, it's a great possibility in a world like this. But, until
then I will protect them.
Huh, is that a door opening, they must be home, I hope everyone is OK.
"Duo are you here?" That's Quatre I'm sure, he's actually caring if I'm here. Oh well,
better answer him before he worries.
"Yeah, I'm here Quatre." I answer back, putting my mask back in place.
"Are you alright, your sitting in the dark,"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I didn't even notice, so how was the mission?" and thank god nobodys
dead.
THE END
So what do ya'll think, just tell me, that's what I'm looking for, all ya'll's thoughts. C&C
accepted and as for flames, refer to the first story I wrote,"The Get Together". They will be
laughed at.
Usa:For those who don't want to refer to her other story.... Flames will be laughed at due
to the fact you wasted 5 to however many minutes to read this all. Then wasted even more time
to type it up, and then you have to waste even more time for it to go trough. So you just
efectively wasted about 20 minutes of your time to say "I didn't like it" Although probably in
many more words. However if you didn't like it and want a review saying why very politely,
your comments will be taken seriously. Anyway, Hey GG why do you look burned havn't you caught
my Tasuki yet.
gg: Where are those fireproof uniforms?
Usa: You can buy them from Jesse and James at Team_Rocket.com I think.
gg:No those things that they create never work, you know how many times they've tried to catch
Pikachu and failed. I'd be dead before I buy anything from them.
Usa:(pouts) You're no fun at all. How about Sakura's_fan_Tomoyo.com she comes up w/ interesting
ideas although I think she only does lightning proof ones ohhhh well. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha
gg: I might try that, WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!! somebody save me from the madness, please.
Usa:hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Did you say something, and why is your face
all red were you yelling at someone????? OH by the way if there are any mistakes I missed I
apologize I had a high fever so I might have missed some sorry.
Hello all you happy people. Or at least the happy people who are happy i'm writing a new story.
Now then this story is about Duo thinking about his past during a thunder storm. And it's in
his P.O.V so it might not be very good in your opinion, but in my opinion it is fine. And i
can't give you my sister's opinion. Because she never finished reading it. She cracked up after
the first few lines when it's not a funny story I'm writing. Oh well.
