Shika held her arms. It had gotten cold from the rain. HEr long hair hung loose around her body. She looked up at the rain and sighed. It had been a week and she still hadn't found 2031 Main Street. Tears began to fill her eyes and slipped down over her cheeks. They mixed with the cold rain.
She had been through so much. It started with a gang she had ran into the Shadows or Ghosts or whatever they were called she couldn't remember. It was the first time she had to almost kill someone to save her own life. Those two men were still out there looking for her. She had to be on her guard all the time. And She felt so weak from lack of sleep and lack of food. Scratch that no food.
Shika leaned back and hit the wall she slid down it and cried. She pulled her knees up next to her and baried her face in her crossed arms. She began to think wanting to be a Gundam Fighter was the worst idea she ever had.
Shirley Laine and Bunny Higgins were comming back from a deliverly pick up for Chibodee when Bunny spotted Shika. She put on the breaks and leaned out the window. Shirley leaned forward looking royaly pissed.
"What's wrong with.."
Bunny cut her off by grabbing her chin and turned it towards Shika's small form.
"No It can't be." Shirley said getting out of the truck.
Shika heard the truck stop and never looked up. Shirley ran towards her. Shika heard the water splashing and jumped up. She pulled the blade from her pocket and held it out. She was in an attack stance. Shirley stodded and looked at the teenager. She looked defeated and tired.
"Little Fire Punch, don't remember me. It's Aunt Shirley." She said almost in a pleading voice.
Bunny came up behind her and looked at Shika.
"Come on Shika we'll take you to Chibodee."
Shika looked up at bunny. Her eyes were red from crying and she had dark rings around her eyes from lack of sleep.
"You promise on your life that you'll take me to Chibodee?"
Bunny nodded and extended her hand to Shika. She put the knife in her pocket and took Bunny's hand. It was warm and soft. Shika half smiled before she passed out. Shirley caught her and carried the teenager back to the truck.
After the drive to the hanger Shika was sound asleep. Shirley slipped out of the truck carring Shika and Bunny ran up to Chibodee's room. Cath and Janet traded worried glances and went to work getting stuff out of the truck. Chibodee was down the steps and over to Shirley in a flash. He softly lifted Shika from her arms.
Chibodee carried the sleeping teenager to a spare room and laid her on the bed. He sat next to her and brushed hair out of her eyes. He bit his lip haveing a hard time trying to figure out what to do. He stood and closed the door walking into the hanger.
"Chibodee?" The girls asked.
"I want George here with his best doctors. God knows he can afford it. Give Argo and Sai a call as well."
"Right." The girls said running off to make the calls.
Bunny stayed and looked at him.
"What about Domon do you think he should know about this?"
Chibodee thought about it for a minute and shook his head. "No Domon doesn't need to know about it."
Days passed and with Georges doctor checking on Shika The Fighters were sure she would be ok.They were wrong.
Shika slowly sat up in a room full of bright light. Roses sat next to her bed in a vase. Red Roses. She staired at them and a flash went through her mind. She grabbed it and threw it across the room it smashed against the door.
Chibodee, Argo, George, and Sai looked up from the table where they sat. Geoge was the first one down the steps to her room. Opening the door he saw Shika curled up in a ball. She was crying.
"Little Red Rose are..."
"Don't call me that!" She screamed and stood up.
The others were right behind in in the door way. Shika's face was tears stained but her eyes were full of panic. She grabbed her bag and ran past him. Her feet were bare and when she hit the glass it cut open her feet. Shika tried to run past the others but Argo caught her. He struggled as she began to cry hard.
"Let me Go!" She screamed. "Please Argo just let me go." He voice was softer and clouded in tears.
Argo changed the way he held her so he almost craddled her.
"It's ok Shika. No more nick names, no more wandering the streets, no more crying, ok?" He whispered setting her down.
"Oh Argo what have I done?" She cried kneeling down.
