A Snipers Magic Bullet
~Chapter Two: The Confession~
"Can you even keep track of them?" Josh asked as he and Jimmy and Thurman watched as Cloy and Schwarz trained. All they could really see was two flashes of light come together and hit every so often, but they knew that it was Schwarz and Cloy fighting.
Then, without any warning, Schwarz and Cloy landed right behind them, with legs locked in a mid-air double jump-kick, and just as quickly as they showed up they disappeared again. Once they had unlocked there legs and got momentum back up.
"Damn, did you see that?" Thurman asked as he looked at the small divots that their feet and knees created when they landed.
"I don't even know if I even saw them take off." Josh admitted.
But up in the sky, while the three of them looked at the ground and divots created by Schwarz and Cloy, they both were in a dead-lock. "Looks like it's a stalemate."
"I don't think so," Cloy said, then brought her other foot up right into the side of Schwarz's head. He didn't have any time to duck so he braced himself for the impacted. Schwarz flew towards the ground, and Cloy was about to chase after him and give him one last hit to finish him with she felt a burn on the bridge of her nose, and heard a whizzing sound pass by her head.
She didn't have to wait for the report to know it was sniper fire. She ducked and headed for cover where she could seek out the source of fire. She heard another report and then the whizzing and felt a sudden surge of pain instigate from her shoulder and shoot though her body.
She fell to the ground with a hard thud and, after bouncing a few times, came to rest on her stomach, dirt all over her face and in her mouth. She was quick to try to set up, but when she put pressure on her left arm, pain shot though her arm and back. She sat up with her good arm and spit out the dirt and dust that had caked up around her mouth and inside on her tongue.
She was dazed and didn't quite know what happened. Schwarz quickly got up from where he had landed and raced over to where she had. "Cloy what happened?" He asked
"Sniper fire some shot me." She replied.
"Where?" he asked
"Towards the bushes on the north east edge." She answered.
He nodded and went to see if, whoever it was that shot her was still there. Alas, they were gone, but Schwarz did find two spent shell casings. He came back with both in his gloved hand and asked "You were shot once, but I found two shell casings."
"One bullet wasn't on; it only brushed the bridge of my nose. The other hit me." She explained.
He nodded and stuffed the shells into his pocket, then gently put his arms around Cloy and lifted her up into his arms and carried her over to where her three fools were still looking at the divots. "Mind going and getting a bed ready for your boss here." He said, brining them out of their daze.
"Sure, yeah." Josh retorted
"No problem" Thurman added. They all three went off and got a room ready for her and Schwarz took her in and laid her down and started to look over her wound and what could be done.
Soon he had the bullet out and was attempting to stop the bleeding, but some tries proved futile. He knew she needed a transfusion at that time, so once he had stopped the bleeding he took his trench coat off, and went to get the tubes and needles necessary to give her a transfusion of his blood.
He knew he was type O and was about the only one there that could help her, so he quickly strapped the tourniquet around his arm and slipped the needle under his skin into a vain. He had not only gotten the needle into a vain of hers did his blood start to come out and mix with hers.
He watched as the life sustaining, crimson liquid went into her veins and color began to come back to her face and lips. When he knew that there was at least half of what he was allowed to give at one time, he quickly released the tourniquet and after a few seconds took the needle out of his vein and put something on his arm to stop the blood. Then did the same with Cloys arm.
Once he was done with that, he covered her with the quilts around her and his eyes caught the sight of her lips, they were finally pink again. Just as he had not only imagined them but seen them. He wondered for a moment, if they would taste the same. He wondered if he would remember them, and the wonderful richness he had so longed for, ever since she left Japan that long ago.
He slapped himself mentally and thought "This is no time to be chasing after a girl that you were in love with. Right now you have a job to do as Kyoji and Schwarz, you need to help Domon. But the fact that Cloy showed up is a perk."
He sat down on the edge of the bed for a moment and took of his mask and ran his fingers though his messy brown hair. "I still love her though" he admitted to himself. "I always did and I always will." He added.
He looked at himself in the mirror for a moment, and then shoved it on the floor saying "how could she ever love me again, not only for the things I've done but who I've become. Im nothing but a machine now. Prisoner to my own creation." He cried a few silent tears for the mess he had caused then sucked them up and looked at the sleeping beauty by him.
He remembered how they had first meet. It was up in the colonies. He was supposed to be at this university for a sort of stand in credits, for later in life. But instead he was in this prison like boot camp where he was beaten and made to use his knowledge to build gundams for evil.
"She was the only one to show me love, or compassion." He said remembering how she had saved him from a fate worse then death. Then took care of his wounds down to the very last cut. And then, once done with that, stuck with him until they landed in Japan after they escaped, and he had a chance to be reunited with his family. He had instantly fallen in love with her. And he begged her to stay with him.
She had agreed, and stayed with him as her grandfather trained with her. But she had to leave because her country of Neo-England was at war with the country of Neo-Germany. She had no choice but to leave. And he accepted that, for a while.
He remembered what pushed him to create that god forsaken gundam in the first place. It was loneliness. Loneliness for her and this is what he got for it.
"But wait!" He cried as he realized something "If she had a chance to show back up to me, out of the dust one day. Then surely I have a chance too? Right?" He asked, as he looked up towards the heavens.
He was rewarded with a feeling he hadn't felt since he had taken over Schwarz's body and put his memories into him: a heart beat. Something that he had wanted since then he could have never had. "But how?" He asked himself.
He was answered by a much unexpected source. "My child, have I taught you nothing?" He heard a soft kind voice ask.
"Mother?" He asked with skepticism. "Is that you mom?" He asked again.
He saw a white light before him and then the image of his mother, Mrs. Kasshu. "Yes, it's me son. Or should I say my android son." She smiled a little as a few tears broke though Kyoji's strong barrier and slid down his face. "Oh don't cry my son, it'll be alright." She said as she took her hand and caught his tears.
He took her hand in his and put it against his face, making sure it was real and just as he had remembered, and said "I miss you mom."
"I miss you too honey. I watch over you every day though, don't you worry." She smiled as she sat beside him and said "Kyoji honey, I understand everything that's happened. But I must tell you, believe in that little girl setting beside you. You see what you don't know is that when Domon told her of what had happened between you and Ulube of what he thought was true. She dismissed it as a rumor that only Domon would believe, and stood by the idea of your innocence. "
"But I'm not innocent. If only I would have fought Ulube instead of turning tail and running with the Gundam…"
She stopped Kyoji there and said "Son, none of this was your fault. You did the only thing you could and that was run. You're doing wonderfully now. Don't stop. Training Domon is the right thing to do. But I want you to do one thing for me son."
"What's that mom?" he asked.
"Don't lose fate, not only in you or Domon, but also in Cloy. She's an amazing young woman now." She replied.
Kyoji looked down at his feet, then back up at his mom where she was standing now, and said with a slight smile "I know." Then, in a brief flash of light, she was gone. Kyoji couldn't hold back the tears anymore, with the memories of what had happened that day, and what he had to do. Also watching his mother die. His tears broke lose and he buried his face into the pillow that rested by Cloy and just cried himself out. The one thing that he had never had a chance to do.
He laid there and as he cried, all his pain left with the tears. He didn't know just crying could make you feel better. He kept crying until he finally cried himself to sleep, something he hadn't done since he was Seven because his dad took away his bike when he punched a boy at school.
He found that that was the best night's rest he had gotten in a long, long time.
