A Girl, A Gundam, A Gundam Fight

Chapter 7: A Plead for Help, The Truth

Luna Starfox

Chibodee looked down at the sleeping Sai. He didn't want to belive that Shika could have done this. Yet he knew because he watched her with out saying anything. Argo had been the one to stop her with the leson of fair play he had given her. He heard the hinges of the door squeak as it opened.

He turned to see Shika. She didn't look up as she walked over to Sai. Touching one of the white roses in a vase on the table next to his bed Shika stood next to the bed and staired at the ground. Chibodee saw tears slip down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Sai." She said just above a whisper.

Shika turned and almost walked out the door. She stopped short and looked over her shoulder at Chibodee. He could see her eyes were red. She took a deep breath and looked forward again.

"Uncle Chibodee I'm asking you as a Gundam fighter and a friend please take me out of the fights." Her voice was shakey.

Chibodee stood and looked at her.

"Why?"

"Please Chibodee. I...I don't want to keep doing this."

"But you've always dreamt of being a gundam fighter."

Her shoulders her shakeing. She hugged herself tring to hold her shoulders still.

"Not like this." She said shaking her head. "Uncle Chibodee I don't want this any more."

"Just because you've gotten over excited the first few times doesn't mean...."

"Over Excited!" Shika spun on her heels to face him. "I put both Allenby and Uncle Sai in a coma! I have no control when I'm out there on the battle feild. Senator Karato! He...He..." She let her voice drop and turned her back to Chibodee. "Please Uncle Chibodee, if you care for me as much as you did when I was younger you'll take me out. Permently!"

She didn't wait for Chibodee's answer as she ran out the door. He followed but stopped at the door. She was gone. Shika had just disappeared. He turned back to see the rose Shika had touched was wilting.

Hours Later Chibodee walked down the street. It began to rain softly. He looked up and let it hit his face. The rain always brought back memories. Most were the bad memories. His mind races back to Shika.

Her eyes were blood red. Her skin was pale and it seamed she had lost touch with reality. Her voice had been so cold that Chibodee didn't belive it was her. His heart knew different. Shika wanted More that Chibodee to take her out of the fights. She wanted him to kill her. Her voice and eyes had said so.

"She's in terable pain Chibodee."

Chibodee turned to see him, Domon Kasshu. He was dressed in his old clothes. Chibodee would have hit him if he didn't already look defeated. Domon tossed him a hand-made braclet. Chibodee caught it and looked at it then up at Domon.

"You've heard about Shika?"

"Going mad on the feild? Puting two Gundam Fighters in a coma? Yeah I heard. You know what those colors mean?"

Chibodee looked at the braclet.

"They were the colors Shika picked for us. I was the deep blue, Rain was the light blue and Shika was red." He looked up at the sky. "I knew she wouldn't live to see her seventeenth birthday."

"Stop."

"It couldn't be stopped Chibodee. Shika was to wild for her own good. Maybe if I laid down that law a little harder she would have grown up. She knows this too you know. That's why she came to you." Domon laughed softly. "I never told her she just found out."

"Domon stop talking like that." Chibodee said holding the braclet tight.

"My first child was born only to die early. How could I bring any children into this world knowing that?"

"Shut up Domon."

"They killed her the day she was born."

"Damn it Domon! I told you to shut up!" Chibodee yelled before punching Domon.

Doman still stood and turned back to Chibodee. Tears filled his eyes. The Neo-American fighter was cring.

"She can't die. She has to grow up. I told her when she was younger that I would protect her always."

"You can't Protect her any more Chibodee. She knows the truth. She knows she is infected with the Dark Gundam Virus."

"No of us her going to tell her. We were just going to keep it a secret. We were going to keep her safe."

Chibodee dropped to his knees and slamed his hands to the ground. Domon staired at him. His eyes were cold as he looked down. He listened closly .

"I promised her she would grow up. I promised her I would be there when she got married and give her away if you wouldn't. We all promised to help her raise and protect her rugrats. She just can't die."

"We both know she will and you will do it Chibodee. YOu have no choice. If this fighting goes on any longer then no one will be able to stop her. The dark Gundam will riase again."

"We stopped it once we can stop it again."

"No we can't! Stop ling to yourself it won't help you get ready for your fight with her tomorrow." Domon turned to leave.

"Do you even care about her Domon?" Chibodee asked looking up.

Domon stopped. "Of couse I do...." He looked over his shoulder. "But some time the needs of many out weight the needs of the few." Then he left.

Chibodee staired after him and stood. He looked at the bracelet in his hand and felt his heart lurch in pain.

'I don't know if I can do it.' Chibodee thought walking down the street.

He looked up into the rain. The hazey image of a carefree teen girl stood with her back to back with a teen girl gundam fighter appeared in front of his eyes. They were the same age and had their arms crossed over their chests. One was dressed in pure black and the other in Jeans and a t-shirt. One smiled and the other didn't. One's eyes sparkled with life and the others with death. They were so different like Yin and Yag. Two halves to make a whole but to get rid of one ment to get rid of the other.
